City taking ‘holistic approach’ to downtown

BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

BY BRIAN BECKLEY

Renton officers responding to the sounds of gunfire early Saturday morning found a car crashed into a tree and the car’s occupants injured by both gunfire and the collision, according to the Renton Police Department.

Mid-week the investigation was continuing, as investigators tried to sort out witness statements.

At around 12:40 a.m., officers patrolling the Rainier Avenue corridor heard the sounds of multiple shots coming from the Skyway area toward Renton Avenue South, according to Renton Police Commander David Leibman They found an older-model Ford Crown Victoria that had driven off of the roadway on Victoria Avenue Southwest and crashed into a tree.

According to a passenger, the group had just left the Skyway 7-11 and was driving down Renton Avenue South. A car [ more DRIVE-BY page 20 ]

COURTESY RENTON SCHOOL DISTRICT

Teachers agree to contract as school starts

BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

The Renton School District started the new year Wednesday – or Thursday – with plenty of students and a new contract approved by 95 percent of the district’s teachers.

The City of Renton issued a timely reminder that with school bells ringing, drivers should use caution near schools and watch out for pedestrians and other vehicles.

To help make that happen, school-zone flashing beacons and speed cameras are working throughout the district.

High school students, starting with sophomores, got an extra day of summer vacation, returning to class on Thursday.

And the district’s kindergarten students don’t start school until Tuesday, Sept. 8, with the exception of Highlands Elementary School kindergar[ more SCHOOL page 20 ]

City officials this summer touted what the mayor described as a “holistic approach” to downtown revitalization during a presentation to the City Council that focused on what various city departments are doing to help the core live up to the city’s vision of a “vibrant, pedestrian-friendly” section of Renton.

The push has brought together multiple city departments in what Mayor Denis Law described as a “full-court press” to make downtown a place people want to live, shop and invest in.

“This has been a priority for me for the past eight years in office,” Law said of the project. “I wanted everyone engaged, every department.”

The back of a “real” $5 bill shows the correct wording. On the movie prop money, the words say “Motion Picture Use Only.” Renton Police Department

The curtain has gone up in Renton on a scam in which the perpetrators use movie prop money to buy things.

Anyone can buy a stack of fake $100 bills online for about $30, according to Commander David Leibman with the Renton Police Department, apparently with no restrictions.

“Selling and buying items between strangers is very commonplace,” Leibman said. “However, if you are making cash transactions with people you are not familiar with, be vigilant that the money you receive may be counterfeit.”

He suggested meeting at a police station for the sale to help thwart the perpetrators.

Renton Police recently recovered a number of the fake $100 bills while investigating a robbery.

In another case, the victim arranged to sell the suspect a pair of expensive shoes. The suspect handed the victim the money and grabbed the shoes, running off before the victim realized he had been [ more COUNTERFEIT page 6 ]

City emphasizes preparedness with ‘Ready in Renton’ September is National Preparedness Month, sponsored by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and Ready in Renton Month, sponsored by the City of Renton.

The Ready in Renton campaign emphasizes basic emergency preparedness: make a plan, build a kit, help each other. When everyone does what they can to prepare, the risk of injury and loss is reduced, and demand on emergency responders is decreased.

As part of Ready in Renton, the city is actively recruiting volunteers to be part of the city’s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program. CERT is a nationwide, all-hazards, disaster-preparedness program created by the FEMA. CERT volunteers are trained to take on leadership roles in their neighborhoods following a disaster. CERT classes begin at 6 p.m. Sept.

22 and continue each Tuesday evening through Nov. 3. Participants receive 24 hours of training in fire suppression, search and rescue, first aid, disaster psychology and team organization, and participate in a disaster simulation on Nov. 7.

CERT-trained individuals are able to work as part of a team in their neighborhood in order to meet the needs of residents after a disaster.

Classes are taught by fire and police department personnel and local experts.

The cost is $25 for Renton residents and $30 for non-residents. For more information about CERT and how to register, visit rentonwa.gov/ CERT or call 425-430-7041.

The scenario most likely to result in an activation of the city’s CERT members is an earthquake. Because of our geographic location, the Puget Sound region is vulnerable to significant earthquake and volcanic activity.

This year, Ready in Renton is planning a special focus on earthquake preparedness. Prepare by taking the following steps: 1) Go to makeitthrough.org/earthquake to get detailed information about earthquakes and general emergency preparedness.

2) Plan to participate in the Great Washington Shake Out earthquake drill at 10:15 a.m. Oct. 15. “Drop, Cover, and Hold” is the correct protective action to take in an earthquake.

3) Keep an emergency kit in your home and car with water, nonperishable food, emergency contact information, cash, prescription medications, flashlight, a battery operated radio, and extra batteries.

4) Make sure your home has been updated to meet current seismic codes, including bolting your house to its foundation and strapping the hot water heater in place.

Gov. Inslee can’t lose by running for president Gov. Jay Inslee isn’t making plans to run for president in 2016.

But a onetime political adviser is making the case why Washington’s first-term Democratic governor should go to Iowa and try to win the caucuses – even if he doesn’t want the job.

“Sure, this is a long shot, but Inslee has a legitimate pathway to the presidency,” D.J. Wilson wrote Monday on Crosscut, an online news site.

Really?

I phoned Wilson, a political consultant and former Edmonds city councilman, to find out if this was a trial balloon he inflated on behalf of the governor or his friends.

“Gov. Inslee has given me no indication he wants to run for president. I did not write it because the governor asked me to,” Wilson said. “I don’t think he intends to run for president. I don’t think it’s on his radar screen.”

So what possessed Wilson to suggest such an improbable course of action?

Wilson, a health-care policy expert who Inslee tapped for advice in his 2012 gubernatorial campaign, said, to begin with, the contours of the 2016 race may bring out another Democratic candidate.

He contends there’s concern among Democrats that front-runner Hillary Clinton can’t overcome the damage of the FBI investigation into her use of a private email server and Bernie Sanders won’t win enough support of the party’s mainstream to be the torchbearer in her stead.

Secondly — and this is where Inslee fits in — neither Clinton nor Sanders is making much of a deal about climate change and the environment.

That’s Inslee’s political passion. If he joined the field and made environmental issues the rallying cry of his candidacy it would energize throngs of young voters in the party’s base not all that engaged in Iowa or the rest of the nation, Wilson said.

“This is less about Jay and more about the opportunity,” he said. “There is a hole in the Democratic field of candidates. There is money to support a candidate in order to elevate those issues.”

There’s time to forge an impression in Iowa and snag enough delegates to become part of the campaign conversation, Wilson contended.

Here’s how Wilson said it could work: In each Iowa precinct, candidates are awarded delegates in rough proportion to their election results as long as they get at least 15 percent of the votes in that precinct.

Perform well in the three dozen counties where the majority of Iowa’s Democratic voters live and voila, a presidential contender is born. The ingredients for such success would be an organized campaign plus a disciplined candidate and about $5 million — all of [ more CORNFIELD page 6 ]

Educated workforce=healthy economy As we approach the new school year, it’s a good time to contemplate what education means to us as a country.

Many, if not most, of us tend to take education for granted. We assume our kids will go to school, do well enough to graduate, and then go on to enroll in some sort of post-secondary degree or certification program.

But for a growing number of kids in our country, that path is blocked or derailed by circumstances beyond their control – namely poverty or homelessness.

Poverty and homelessness can have a devastating impact on children and their ability to learn.

Consider a 9-year old who doesn’t know where he will be sleeping that night or if there will be enough food for dinner. How does a 10year old girl study or excel at school when her stomach growls, she feels she doesn’t fit in, or feels anxious over what tomorrow will bring?

The National Center on Family Homelessness estimates that one out of every 50 children in this country faces homelessness each year. That’s a staggering statistic. And each one of those children is at risk of dropping out of school before graduation.

According to the Alliance for Excellent Education, 5,000 students drop out of school each day in the U.S. That’s approximately 1 million each year. And for a country that once led the world in college graduates, we have now dropped to [ more BOHART page 5]

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Tourists weigh in on library changes

As visitors to Renton, we hesitated before offering our views about the recently reopened Cedar River Library but as library lovers and users decided to share our comments about the KCLS remodeling based on our “before” and “after” visits in 2013 and now.

We wanted to form our own opinion about this controversial building because a library is an important community resource and every part of the building – location, architecture, interior – must be well suited to its purpose.

In 2013 we felt that the original brick building was sympathetically integrated into its unique river and parkland location and the interior was light, comfortable and welcoming. This year we were horrified to see a grotesque, metal-sided, warehouse-style building in its place – almost brutalist in appearance and an eyesore totally out of keeping with its surroundings.

Unfortunately, things got worse. Funneled through a clinical entrance into a mostly dark grey interior, we were surprised to see an unfinished attempt at industrial chic – a ceiling criss-crossed by girders

and vent pipes with missing facing boards exposing dozens of protruding nails – a haven for insect webs and dust, posing obvious maintenance difficulties as well as significant problems for people with asthma and respiratory disorders.

There are other issues about visitor comfort and health and safety. How thermally efficient is the metal siding? What is its impact on temperature, air conditioning, ventilation and energy use? The suspended fluorescent tube lighting, always a poor replacement for natural light (from the original clerestory windows), has [ more LETTER page 5 ]

well-documented negative effects on people with visual impairment, migraine and epilepsy. The busy carpet patterns also detract from a calm visual ambience.

JJ Pajor (Letter to the Editor, Aug. 28) mentioned other safety risks associated with the metal cables of the bridge walkway railings, which we noted too. Also the metal seats outside will be too hot to sit on for much of the year.

While we are pleased that the library remains on its riverside site and that people were using its facilities when we visited, we were saddened by the noticeable reduction in the quality of materials used in the remodeling. These, like the uncomfortable seating and furnishings, will deteriorate quickly into a shabby environment.

We also noticed the absence of artwork and plants – things that always enrich public spaces – and wonder what happened to the large metal relief panels and the tapestry along the west side, all present in 2013?

Everything about the remodeling smacks of cost-cutting at the expense of providing a safe, esthetically pleasing environment for library users. It’s disappointing that KCLS has produced a discordant building and has missed many opportunities to create a genuinely user-friendly facility.

Jolene Sims and Katrina Shacknove, Oxford, England

Stretching across the Cedar River, the lovely new facility takes its rightful place in a city known for being “ahead of the curve!” Our new downtown library will serve Renton residents well as we continue to grow STEM jobs - increasing access to educational platforms and job opportunities for our growing population.

Additionally, the new library will also be a place for neighbors to engage one another in sharing and learning, strengthening relationships between cultures and communities.

This community can be proud of our new library and quality services available to our families.

Let’s keep Renton ahead of the curve and join together to celebrate this fitting tribute to our 21st century city!

No. 15.

The Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) is given every three years and measures a 15-yearold’s literacy in reading, math and science. The most recent assessment, in 2012, ranked the U.S. below average in mathematics (27th), and only close to average in reading (17th) and science (20th).

According to the PISA report, “Socio-economic background has a significant impact on student performance in the United States. … Disadvantaged students show less engagement, drive, motivation and self-beliefs.”

The question is what affect does all of this have on our economy?

The Alliance for Excellent Education reports that, “… if the United States improved its PISA scores by 25 points over 20 years…(our) gross domestic product (GDP) would likely increase by as much as $41 trillion.”

Wow! That’s a lot of money.

How can that be?

The answer is simple. High school and college graduates typically get higher-paying jobs over the long-term, there-

fore paying more in state and federal taxes and contributing to the overall economy. They make better healthcare decisions and are less likely to depend on government assistance, thereby saving taxpayer money. And they are more productive and save companies in training costs, thereby adding to the company’s bottom-line.

Graduates are also less likely to become incarcerated.

The National Dropout Prevention Center/Network estimated that it cost the U.S. $24 billion in crime and public welfare in 2004 due to the number of dropouts.

How we educate our children is an ongoing discussion in this country. But one thing is clear. If we could reduce the number of children living in poverty, we could significantly increase the number of kids who graduate, thereby making a positive impact on our economy.

We are fortunate to have one of the leading dropout prevention programs, Communities In Schools, right here in Renton. They work directly with the schools to identify students at risk of dropping out, and then work with the student to establish relationships with local businesses, social service agencies, health-care providers and volunteers to help that student succeed, both inside and outside of the classroom.

duped, according to Leibman.

In addition, Seattle Police have had at least one case involving the movie prop money.

The movie prop money involved in the Renton cases is similar to an actual $100 bill, according to Leibman. The most prominent distinction is on the top right front with the phrase “FOR MOTION PICTURE USE ONLY” in place of “THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.” The same “motion picture use only” is also on the back, top of the bill, again replacing “THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.” Even the seal on the front left of the bill is very similar to the seal on real U.S. currency and the sequencing and spacing of the serial name is similar (13 total characters).

Anyone who encounters the scam or is a victim is asked to call 911.

Under Wilson’s scenario, Inslee can’t lose even if he doesn’t win.

A presidential bid would give Inslee a national platform to preach on the matter he cares about most deeply: protecting the environment against the damaging effects of carbon emissions and climate change.

“There is a pathway here for him to become the secondor third-most-important progressive voice in the country,” Wilson said.

That kind of attention won’t hurt Inslee’s pursuit of a second term as governor which is something he’s begun.

Police Chief Kevin Milosevich opened the presentation last month, talking about how the department has placed an emphasis on the parking garage at the transit center and increased police presence downtown.

Though the department is dealing with some staffing issues this summer, he said police have increased their presence this summer and patrol officers are told to be seen downtown when not on a call. By next summer, with a full staff, additional officers are expected to be assigned to the core.

In addition, Milosevich said officers have been out talking with business owners to hear their concerns and working with the Liquor Control Board to possibly designate the area an “alcohol impact area” that could outlaw certain types of fortified wines and other alcoholic beverages in the area.

Though city officials insist downtown is safe and numbers show the reported crimes in the area are not out of line with previous years, Law said the most important thing is how resident feel and that means a more

potential businesses.

Another way the city is looking to revitalize the core is through increased events, which bring people to the area.

“The more events we have … the fewer problems we have,” said Community Services Department Administrator Terry Higashiyama.

Among the new events started by the city are the Pop-Up Piazza and the Eruption of Art events.

In addition, beautification efforts, like new banners, flower baskets and temporary art in some of the empty buildings have helped spruce up the area. Additional changes like providing more sidewalk space for outdoor tables may also be on the way.

The city has also been actively recruiting businesses, investment and the “right kind of development,” according to Vincent. Vincent cited the new Lofts at Second and Main project and this month’s opening of the Cheers sports bar in the former A Terrible Beauty space as examples.

Finally, the city is making a public investment in the area, through grants and effort to convert downtown streets from one- to two-way roads.

The mayor said all elements were “critical” to the success of the project, but he was encouraged by what has happened so far.

“I’m really excited about the direction we’re going,” he said.

visible police presence.

“However you look at it, people need to feel safe,” he said. “We need the police present today.”

Fire officials and code enforcement have also been working downtown in an effort to reach out to property owners to protect the buildings and instill pride in appearance of the area.

Fire Chief Mark Peterson told the council that his department inspected 50 buildings downtown and found 11 with deficiencies; but after owners were contacted by the department, all but one of the deficiencies had been corrected by August.

Planning Department Administrator Chip Vincent said his department also instituted an “unprecedented” effort to inventory all of the code issues downtown, sending letters to all property owners to take a “pro-active approach” regarding any problems.

Vincent said following the outreach by the city, six structures voluntarily came into compliance and of the 40 warnings that were issued, 18 had been dealt with and the city is continuing to work on the remaining violations.

Vincent said common violations downtown involved property maintenance, broken windows, litter and non-conforming signs.

The city has also engaged with property owners about programs like the facade improvement grants available and trying to serve as a “matchmaker” between open storefronts and

The $15 minimum wage voters in the city of SeaTac narrowly approved in 2013 applies to all workers at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, the state Supreme Court ruled recently.

The high court’s 5-4 ruling overturns a lowercourt’s decision that SeaTac’s Proposition 1 did not apply to workers at the airport, which is owned and operated by the Port of Seattle.

About 4,700 workers are employed at businesses inside the airport.

Cities and business organizations have paid attention to the legal challenges surrounding SeaTac’s Proposition 1 and the impacts of a $15 minimum wage.

The Renton Chamber of

appeal of a King County Superior Court judge’s ruling in 2013 that the provisions of Proposition 1 didn’t apply to airport workers because it could affect airport operations and federal law preempted a provision that protects workers from certain types of retaliation.

The Supreme Court reversed those rulings and upheld Proposition 1 in its entirety.

“We hold that Proposition 1 can be enforced at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport because there is no indication that it will interfere with airport operations,” the justices wrote.

“We also hold that federal labor law does not preempt the provision protecting workers from retaliation.”

The $15 minimum wage did apply to employees in the hospitality and transportation industries in SeaTac outside the airport, as well as other people who work in the city of SeaTac. In a news release, the Port of Seattle stated it is

Commerce does not have an official position on the $15 minimum wage, according to chamber CEO Vicky Baxter.

The chamber’s Business Development Committee, the Education Committee and the Board of Directors are all discussing the issue and ramifications to Renton business owners, she said.

“There has been much discussion but no conclusion as there are many sides to this story and how it impacts the lives of residents and business owners,” she said. “At this time, we do not have a consensus on this issue.”

Several small franchise owners – those owning one or two franchises – have told the chamber that a $15 minimum wage could put them out of business, she said, adding that larger business owners are already paying between $15 and $16 for entry-level positions.

Time to evaluate those container gardens for next year THE COMPLEAT HOME GARDENER

Marianne Binetti

The start of September is the time to evaluate your container gardens and bedding plants so you will know what to buy or order for next spring.

In my garden I found that the fastspreading “Wave” petunias with large flowers are great for planting in beds, but not so nice in hanging baskets – they just keep growing and growing and become too rangy.

The more compact petunias such as the

Proven Winners Supertunia and the SuperBells Calibrachoa (these look like mini petunias) did great in the summer heat and kept a more tidy and compact growth habit. Million bells is another type of trailing mini petunia that thrived in the heat and stayed well behaved all summer.

More rock stars that performed despite the summer heat were scavolea, sedums, yuccas, geraniums, a hanging plant with gray foliage called “Dichondra Silver Falls” and the very adaptable dragon wing begonias such as the bright orange “Bonfire” Begonia.

The end of summer is a good time to rethink and replant your container gardens

with the goal of year-round color that will thrive for several years without replanting.

Instead of planting for just fall color, or summer blooms these planting suggestions will look great year round with the option of adding seasonal color for pops of color.

Tip: Add some dwarf daffodil, crocus or snowdrop bulbs near the edge of the container when you are done planting the larger plants. In February you’ll be rewarded with fresh spring blooms.

All of these hard-working plants should be easy to find at local garden centers and nurseries now.

• Start with a large container with drainage holes. A pot that is at least 24 inches deep will hold enough soil to keep the biggest plant or the “thriller” happy for several years. You have the option of rotating the smaller plants into the landscape or leaving them in the pot until they outgrow the space.

• Use a quick draining potting soil, not soil from your own garden. It is fine to reuse your old potting soil from this past summer but only if you remove the old roots add a few inches of fresh potting soil and stir it all up so that the old potting soil at the bottom of the pot is once again loose and free draining.

• During the winter months place your potted plants in a protected location near the house or under the protection of the roof eaves. This will help the plants survive a big freeze and keep them from drowning during our constant winter rains.

Tip: Poke a finger into the soil and water potted plants protected under the eaves when the top two inches are dry. They may need water every few weeks even in the

winter.

Ingredients for the Planting Recipe: • One Thriller – a big, bold plant for the middle or back of the display.

• Two or Three Fillers: Shorter plants to surround the Thriller focal point.

• Two or Three Spillers: Smaller plants to cascade over the sides a bit, giving the pot a full and graceful design.

Thrillers that will last several years in the same pot include tall and narrow evergreens such as Ilex “Sky Pencil,” Yews for the shade, compact Junipers for the sun, “Goldcrest” Monterey Cypress, Dwarf Alberta Spruce or Barberry “Orange Rocket.”

(Okay, the barberry is not really and evergreen but it loses it leaves for such a short time and the “Orange Rocket” has such a bright and beautiful color that I recommend it for year round color anyway.)

For smaller containers use the true dwarf evergreens that grow just a halfinch a year: Hinoki False Cypress, a spiky evergreen grass such as carex or a compact hebe.

Fillers to Surround your Focal Point Plant: Use three in large pots, one or two if you find large plants or your container is small.

Heucheras – these low growing and compact foliage plants make fabulous fillers for year round color and adapt to either sun or shade. They come in colors ranging from deep red to bright yellow.

Pick heucheras to contrast or blend with your focal plant either all in the same color for a formal look or mix it up for a festive [ more BINETTI page 13 ]

Machinists Union members in Renton raised more than $3,300 for charity with a recent horseshoes tournament.

About two dozen people took part in the event on Aug. 8 at the Red Dog Saloon in Renton.

“We had some good volunteers and sponsors, and the people at the Red Dog were, as usual, great to work with,” Ira Carterman, the president of Machinists Union Local Lodge 751-E, said in a press release. “Everyone came together to make sure we had a fun day raising money for a very worthy cause.”

All proceeds from the event are going to Guide Dogs of America, a Californiabased charity that provides service dogs and training in their use free of charge to people who are blind or have impaired vision from across the United States and Canada.

Local 751-E is affiliated with Machinists Union District Lodge 751, which is the No. 1 fundraiser for Guide Dogs of America. Over the past six years, the union has raised nearly $1.8 million for the charity.

Renton’s public art displays add beauty to city parks and spaces

Jaris English

THE CREATIVE SIDE

Soon after I moved to Renton in 2008, I discovered that one of the most interesting aspects of Renton’s artistic side is its public art. They are everywhere!

There are sculptures in various locations, including the fire stations. Paintings can be found in the public buildings.

Mosaic benches are at the entrance of City Hall, and some art pieces serve as fountains.

I really appreciate the sculptures. I admit I like to play with my grandson’s Play Doh and pretend I might create something magnificent.

The first public art I discovered was while having brunch in the restaurant at the Maplewood Golf Course on Maple Valley Highway. It was a sunny day in the outside seating area where I found the Fountain 1960. It’s a bronze sculpture donated to the City of Renton by the Fred Meyer Corporation in 1995.

At the time, I knew very little about the city or its involvement in the arts. I was enjoying the ambience and weather and was very happy to be there.

Eventually, I became a Renton Municipal Arts commissioner so I could participate in the promotion, expansion and protection of local culture. I found out that through the city’s Master Plan, Renton really values the presentation and interpretation of public art. And it is appreciated by a wide range of Renton’s citizens.

Due to the 1 Percent for Art legislation, a percentage of funding for every public construction must include the addition of public art.

According to the mayor, a city’s public art collection is something that helps draw people to a city.

“In Renton, the arts are becoming increasingly important as the City grows and evolves to be a 21st century urban center,” he said. “Our public art collection improves the quality of life here and is an attraction to the creative people who are coming here to work and live.”

Last year, the Arts Commission tasked each of us with viewing a public art piece and writing about the origin and

One of my personal favorites is Summer Breeze by Jim Demetro. This sculpture is of a young girl dipping her foot in the water and is located at the Piazza in downtown Renton.

There are too many fabulous works of art here for me to mention, but it’s an adventure for a family to view as many as possible. For a full list of the city’s publicly owned and displayed art, visit http://rentonwa.gov/living/default. aspx?id=402 Also, I really recommend Play Doh as a way to find your own creative side… the artist. We were also to make sure it was in good shape. I drew Chief Sealth out of the hat.

Being new to the Seattle area, I had never heard of Chief Sealth. After some research and checking the city web site, I found out the art piece was a bronze-finished drinking fountain located just north of the Renton Historical Museum.

Affectionately known as “Iron Mike,” it was donated to the city by volunteer firefighters in 1910. I also learned the fascinating history of Chief Sealth, a significant tribal chief in this area, after whom Seattle was named.

All of us who visit the library at Liberty Park notice the sculpture of the little boy reading on a bench. “Homework Comes First” was created by Martha Pettigrew. The almost life-size bronze sculpture of a young boy is a reminder that work comes before play. It was dedicated in 2003 and purchased through the 1 Percent for Art fund.

“Interface” by Phillip Levine is the bronze sculpture we see when we visit Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park. It was acquired in 1982.

Elizabeth Higgins is the liaison from the city to the Renton Municipal Art Commission. I asked her about city’s art collection.

“Public art is like seasoning,” she said. “At its best, it is an expression of and reflects the culture of the community, which is actually what makes a place interesting. Renton is a wonderfully diverse community and its eclectic public art collection is a response to that.”

A delay in construction on the new Riverview Park bridge has forced the city to postpone the grand opening. DEAN A. RADFORD, Renton Reporter

The City of Renton has officially postponed the grand-opening celebration for the new Riverview Park Bridge due to a delay from one of the contractors.

Originally scheduled for Sept. 18, the event has yet to be re-scheduled.

According to Parks Planning and Natural Resources Director Leslie Betlach, the 135-foot bridge, to be constructed from aluminum, is “a complicated project” that is taking a little longer than expected for fabricators to complete.

The old bridge, which was supported by piles sunk into the river, as well as concrete abutments, made it vulnerable to debris that routinely comes down the river during high-water flood and seasonal melting events.

The new bridge is a single metal span with a grated surface to allow for better sunlight penetration to the water below.

“There’s nothing pre-fab about it,” Betlach said.

City spokesperson Preeti Shridhar said the new bridge is now expected to be completed in early October and the city would re-schedule the opening celebration when it is finished.

confetti collection of colors.

Herbs – the winter hardy herbs such lavender, sage and oreganos offer foliage color all winter and the foliage can be harvested with a few snips of the scissors to keep them compact and tidy.

Euphorbias – In a smaller pot these colorful euphorbias can be used as the thriller or focal point plant but once you meet the amazing foliage of Euphorbia “Ascot Rainbow Spurge” or the striking gray and white leaves of “Glacier Blue” Euphorbia you’ll want to use these easy care perennials in your beds as well as your container gardens.

Lamiums – my favorite groundcover for dry shade is also a winner in year round containers. The evergreen foliage comes in a variety of colors.

Lamium ‘Beacon Silver’ has gray and white accents on the leaves and Lamium ‘Golden Anniversary’ stays a cheery yellow all winter. When summer arrives you can uproot your rather aggressive lamiums from the pot and transplant them into the ground if you want room to add summer blooming begonias or impatiens to the container.

Spillers to use up front: Tuck one

Black Mondo Grass – a touch of

black will dress up any container and the dark foliage looks great next to the silver leaved herbs like lavender or tucked in with red or burgundy heucheras.

Groundcover plants like Ajuga, variegated ivy, vinca and creeping Jenny – you may even have these common groundcovers in your garden already.

If you buy a 4 inch pot of groundcover from the nursery divide cut it up into two or three pieces and spread it around the sides of the container.

Renton officers get their men but not the goods

The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.

Renton officers finally figured out the shoplifters’ convoluted stories – including helping out an “auntie� – but in the end they didn’t get the goods back.

Two Seattle men, ages 39 and 23, were stopped outside Walmart on Rainier Avenue Aug. 5 after they fraudulently returned some merchandise and also managed to get past the door monitor using an old receipt for the merchandise they were actually stealing.

The total value of the merchandise was about $570.

But the suspects could not get their stories completely straight.

The 23-year-old told officers he was merely picking out a refrigerator, toaster oven and cooking ware his “auntie� had pre-purchased at a Walmart in Tacoma. He even had a receipt, but video showed another man actually buying those goods in Renton the day before. Somehow, the suspect got a hold of that receipt.

Besides that, Walmart doesn’t allow such “pre-purchases,� security officers told police.

The two were arrested and booked into the SCORE regional jail. The 23-year-old

had a $1,700 warrant for trafficking in stolen property and the 39-year-old had a $2,600 warrant for driving with a suspended license.

The officer was given permission to search the Expedition. It was empty. Surveillance video showed someone removing the merchandise from the SUV. The 23-year-old had done a lot of texting waiting for officers to arrive. The assumption is he was telling someone to remove the stolen items before it was too late.

CELL PHONE STOLEN: A cell phone worth $450 was stolen from inside a Honda Civic late on Aug. 6 while the owner, a 25-year-old Renton man, was at a downtown Renton pub.

He found the drivers-side window smashed. The Bluetooth headset was left behind. Three cigarette butts littered the ground next to broken glass.

The company phone was deactivated.

DOGS KEEP BARKING: A 57-year-old Renton woman who has called 911 five times since June about barking dogs called again on Aug. 7.

The dogs were barking when an officer arrived at the residence on 129th Place Southeast. The barking has worsened over the last two years.

The dogs’ owner was warned in June because of the barking and fact the dogs weren’t licensed. This time he was cited for the two infractions.

OFFICER HIT: After staring with a

stone-cold face for several seconds, a 29-year-old Tacoma woman took a swing at the Renton Police officer outside the Valley Medical Center ER. She missed when the officer stepped back.

Officers were called to the hospital Aug. 4 because the woman was refusing to leave after she was discharged for an involuntary commitment. She was lying on the ground, against a large concrete planter box.

Out of nowhere, with her fist closed she swung her arm at the officer, who grabbed her arm before she could hit his face. She hit another officer in the chest, breaking his glasses. She was handcuffed on the ground.

She was arrested for investigation of assault and booked into the SCORE regional jail. She eventually was cited but not charged with a felony.

MAN STABBED IN ARGUMENT: An argument between two men in the Highlands on July 29 led to the stabbing of a 48-year-old Renton man.

The victim knows the suspect, who police learned has a criminal record.

The victim was walking his dog near a restaurant on Northeast Sunset Boulevard, when the suspect asked him to come inside.

He then threatened the victim. They fought and the victim was stabbed multiple times, including in the stomach, with what he described as a four-inch knife.

A K-9 unit search failed to turn up the suspect.

The victim was treated at Valley Medical Center.

BOYFRIEND ARRESTED: Three times on July 28 an officer was dispatched to the Metro Transit Center in downtown Renton to deal with the same group of people.

The first two times, a 25-year-old Seattle man wasn’t doing anything illegal when the officer was there and was affectionate toward his girlfriend, 18, of Federal Way. The third time, witnesses told officers he had hit his girlfriend, which he might have done by accident when he tried to get her to talk with him.

The girlfriend didn’t want him arrested; she just wanted him to leave her alone. He was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of fourth-degree assault.

He was very intoxicated. He specifically asked the officer to note in the report that he was cooperative and polite (most of the time).

WATCH THE CABLE GUY: The “fellow� arrived at the elderly couple’s doorstep at about 8 p.m. July 28, offering to change their cable service for $1 the next day between 4 and 8 p.m.

First, he needed the couple’s credit card, which they gave him, and a name and birth date, which they also gave him. He had run out of business cards and his truck, nowhere in sight, was parked up the street.

Uncomfortable, the couple called their daughter, who told them to cancel the deal.

They got ahold of the “fellow� by phone, who told them he could if they paid a $350 penalty.

Comcast suggested they file a police report. The couple canceled the credit card and called their bank. The daughter called the “fellow,� who finally said he would call a satellite service and cancel the installation if they wouldn’t call police.

Local comedian hitting the road on first tour Monica Nevi kicking off tour Thursday at Renton Civic Theatre

BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

Renton comedienne Monica Nevi is getting ready to head out on her first national tour and will be opening the trip with a performance Sept. 10 in Renton.

Dubbed the “Blanket Fort Comedy Tour,” Nevi will be joined by her HugLife podcast co-host Mike Coletta as the pair make their way across the country and back.

Nevi is a 2008 graduate of Hazen High School, where she also played for the basketball team. After high school, Nevi attended Seattle University, but injuries ended her basketball career.

In 2011, she discovered stand up comedy and has been performing ever since. She has appeared on New Day Northwest, local sketch comedy show “The 206” and on Fox’s nationally syndicated “Laughs.”

The tour opener will be at Renton Civic Theatre, with one-third of the proceeds going to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Nevi said they chose the name “Blanket Fort” for their tour be-

cause it reminds people of a “good, silly time,” which is also how she described her approach to comedy.

“My comedy is about things that have happened to me that are either silly or I can make silly and things I think other people can relate to,” she said in an email. “It’s a lot of taking something serious or that we all deal with and telling you what dumb way I think about it.”

Nevi said her favorite comics were Chelsea Peretti, as well as Demetri Martin, Maria Bamford

and Ellen DeGeneres.

“Those were the first comics that I listened to over and over again,” she said. “I have always been a fan of comics who what they say is funny, a little less physical but make you think in a different way.”

Nevi and Coletta will be joined on stage in Renton by Portland comic and Bridgetown Comedy Festival favorite Sean Jordan. The show will be hosted by Renton native Adam Norwest, the winner of CMT’s Next Big Comic.

The next day, the pair will hit the road, with shows planned in Eastern Washington, Idaho, Montana and all the way across the country to Florida.

According to Nevi, the plan is to “say goodbye to Seattle” after the tour and head to Los Angeles to pursue their comedy dreams.

Nevi said she is excited, but nervous about finally doing comedy full-time, as well as a little sad about leaving her “supportive family of absolute weirdos” in the Seattle area.

“Going from having a stable day job to doing this thing you love that can be a little inconsistent is a little scary,” she said. “However, I am so happy to be doing and with Mike Coletta, who is hilarious and a fun person to be around.”

The tour gets started at 8 p.m.

Thursday at Renton Civic Theatre.

Tickets are $15 online and $20 at the door. To purchase tickets, visit http://www.eventbrite.com/e/blanket-fort-comedy-tour-renton-kickoff-tickets-17993679580?aff=eac2 Reach Editor Brian Beckley at 425-255-3484, ext. 5050.

teners, who start today (Friday, Sept. 4).

Hundreds of members of the Renton Education Association, which represents the district’s teachers, met at McKnight Middle School Monday night to vote on the new contract.

“We are very pleased to have worked with Renton Education Association President Cami Kiel and her leadership team to come to terms on an agreement,” said Renton Superintendent Art Jarvis in a district news release.

“Renton teachers are highly qualified professionals who care deeply for the children of this district, and have the skills and professionalism to provide every student with a meaningful education. Providing them with a contract that recognizes and honors their commitment is what we strive to do in every negotiation,” he said.

Attempts were made to contact the Renton Education Association for comment.

Reduced speeds is one of the key ways to protect students as they walk to and from school, according to the city.

The difference between 20 mph and 26 mph is 26 feet of stopping distance. With children walking in the area, those 26 feet

www.rentonreporter.com could mean the difference between life and death, according to city officials.

Signs at the schools alert drivers that cameras are in use. Vehicles exceeding the speed limit through the school zones will be photographed, and those images will be reviewed by Renton Police to determine whether a citation is warranted. The cameras will operate when the school beacons are flashing.

Safety reminders include: • Stop and yield to pedestrians crossing the crosswalk or intersection in a school zone when flashers are blinking • Always stop for a school patrol officer or crossing guard holding up a stop sign • Never pass a vehicle stopped for pedestrians • Watch for bikes coming from driveways or behind parked cars • Never pass a bus from behind or from either direction if you’re on an undivided road - if it is stopped to load or unload children • Always stop if the yellow or red lights on the bus are flashing and the stop arm is extended Dean A.

Quality Produce

Where do you go right after a vacation? For Elisheva Bontempo and her family, it was the Renton Farmers Market to stock up on produce. Tuesday, it was a wet chore as storms moved through the area. Zoe Bontempo holds an umbrella as Gia picks out a peach and Elisheva watches. Partially visible is Gino. The market closes for the season on Sept. 29.

DEAN A. RADFORD, Renton Reporter

[ DRIVE-BY from page 1] pulled up next to them and someone began firing at their car, causing it to lose control, according to Leibman.

Two of the victims had minor injuries from the crash, one had a minor bullet graze to his back, and a fourth victim had a non-life threatening bullet wound to his shoulder. Three of the victims were treated at Valley Medical Center and the gunshot victim was taken to Harborview Medical Center.

The suspect’s car was described as a black Dodge Magnum with tinted windows.

There is no other suspect description at this time.

Anyone with information about this shooting is asked to call the Renton Police Department at 425-430-7500.
