Kids get to weigh in at third meeting on Sunset Park design

Builders oppose city’s interim zoning plans

Prostitution sting nets four menOperation part of city’s ongoing efforts against human traffickingBY DEAN A. RADFORD

[email protected]

Four men were arrested Sept. 18 at a Renton hotel for patronizing a prostitute in the Renton Police Department’s ongoing fight against human trafficking in the city.

The sting was part of a larger operation in King County.

The four arrests were made dur-ing a roughly four-hour period. The men were responding to an ad in the personals.

Those arrested were an Auburn man, 39, a Kent man, 36, and two Renton men, ages 34 and 46.

One of the Renton men brought a bottle of red wine to share with his date; the Auburn man brought marijuana.

The City Council on Monday passed a series of interim zoning changes that will, at least temporar-ily, reduce the maximum number of homes per acre from eight to six in many of the city’s residential zones.

The interim zoning changes were approved 5-1, with only Greg Tay-lor opposing the measure (Council-woman Terri Briere was absent) and go into effect immediately, over the objections of the Master Build-ers’ Association who said the move will reduce the value of developable land and limit the options of both landowners and developers.

Under the interim zoning mea-sures, the city’s R-8 zones, which allow a maximum density of eight homes per acre, have been rezoned a new R-6 zone. In addition, new regulations in South Renton will limit all new construction to 30 feet in height and a 53-acre property near Carr and Talbot Roads pres-

For the first time ever, kids weighed-in on what they thought belongs at a new park being planned in the Renton Highlands.

“There’s a meeting for a playground and it’s all adults; it’s like how do you know what the kids are gonna want?” said Madeline Bufort, 11.

Bufort spoke during Tuesday night’s third and final community meeting on the Sunset Neighbor-hood Park Master Plan at McKnight Middle School, which also featured great reviews for what the City of Renton, landscape architect HBB and engineer CH2MHILL have come up with so far.

Bufort thought the plans for the park are really

cool and she’s excited to see it built. She is hoping that city officials decide to move the turtle statue that currently sits outside the old Highlands Library to the new location once it’s built. The library borders the park on the southeast corner.

“I thought the plans were really cool and I couldn’t wait to play,” said her younger sister Sara. “I think Madeline’s ideas are really great and I love the way they decided things and got other ideas from other parks.”

Sara’s hoping for a spinning toy at the new park.Overall the feedback from the community mem-

bers in the room was very positive. This iteration of the master plan features a main access spine through the park along Harrington Avenue, a boulder feature

Enterovirus D68 confirmedThe Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC) on Friday confirmed the presence of enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) in Washington state, including King County. The CDC testing confirmed that

a King County child hospitalized at Seattle Children’s Hospital has respiratory illness associated with EV-D68.

Many people who get sick from EV-D68 have only mild symptoms, like runny nose or coughing with or without fever. Parents should be watchful for any signs of wheezing

or worsening asthma and seek medical help promptly if breathing difficulty occurs.

Children and adults with asthma should be sure to take their medications as pre-scribed and have an asthma control plan with their health care provider. They should contact their healthcare provider promptly if

asthma symptoms worsen even after taking medication.

There is no specific treatment or vac-cine for EV-D68 infections. For additional information on enterovirus D-68: www.kingcounty.gov/healthservices/health/com-municable/diseases/EnterovirusD68.aspx

One of Seattle’s award-winning chefs has come to Renton, working in the recently opened Shuga Jazz Bistro in downtown.

Executive Chef Wayne Johnson is now gracing the city with his south-ern-inspired menu in the former McGowan’s Restaurant location. It is a business venture that has long been in the works between Johnson and Ron McGowan.

Johnson said he has wanted to open up a similar jazz or comedy and food-style club since he was a teenager and about nine years ago, he and McGowan started the con-versation about going into business together.

They opened Shuga Jazz Bistro in June.

“It made sense. What we wanted to do we had talked about before, which was add a southern-inspired menu to this area with the jazz,” said Johnson. “Because Creole and Cajun and Southern fare just goes

with an upscale jazz bistro.”The bistro’s menu has plenty of

flair from the hush puppies ($8) and bacon wrapped shrimp ap-petizers ($13) to the very popular Lula Mae’s Fried Chicken ($19), which is Johnson’s mother’s recipe and named after her as well.

There’s also the decadent shrimp and grits ($20) and the “Cajun-style” pan-fried catfish ($18) to name a few of the menu’s features.

“Once we decided that we can’t

be all things to all people, those that can accept the colors and accept the Creole and accept the Cajun, accept the fried chicken - they’ll come,” said Johnson.

Shuga Jazz Bistro has warm interiors, with subdued, sunset earth tones. It’s spacious, with three distinct rooms: one with music, the bar and a larger dinning area.

Business has been growing, he said, and the bistro is packed on the weekends for their jazz venue.

They’re hoping that adding a happy hour a few weeks ago will drum up more business during the week. They also just added a Sunday brunch that has featured The Total Experience Gospel Choir.

If anything, Johnson’s reputation is enough to bring people in the door. He was the executive chef at the award-winning Andaluca Restaurant in the Mayflower Park Hotel in Seattle since 1999. Most recently, Johnson was the executive chef at Ray’s Boathouse, Café, & Catering, since 2012.

His culinary resumé includes highlights like appearing on season nine of the Food Network TV show “Iron Chef,” cooking at the prestigious James Beard House in New York and being named one of America’s “Top Black Chefs” by Black Enterprise Magazine.

“It’s a pleasure and an honor to be able to open something like this in a community that is accepting and wants more,” Johnson said.

He’s undaunted by the feat of get-ting new customers in the building, saying it’s just a matter of introduc-tion.

“So it’s a matter of getting the new ones in, then it’s my job to make sure they leave with happy taste buds,” he said.

Judging by the menu that should not be a problem.

A new hotel and meeting room space is planned at Southport, near Gene Cou-lon Memorial Beach Park, adding potentially 2,300 jobs in Renton.

The project is the Hotel at Southport and it breaks ground on Oct. 1. It’s a 350-room, 12-story hotel on the edge of Lake Washington being developed through the Seattle Family Regional Center.

The center is also an approved Targeted Employ-ment Area (TEA), which

allows foreign nationals to invest within the U.S., start-ing at $500,000 and get a green card.

Renton city officials are excited about the project.

“As a four-star, full-service facility, The Hotel at South-port will be a great amenity for Renton and will also be a big economic driver for the area economy,” said Cliff Long, Renton economic de-velopment administrator via email. “There are projected to be 2,300 temporary con-struction and ongoing new jobs created by the project. In addition, the large new convention facility will at-tract many more out of state visitors to our community who will also shop at our lo-cal stores and dine at Renton restaurants. This new invest-

ment could pay dividends to our economy for many years to come.”

The Seattle Fam-ily Regional Center has its sights set on more than just Renton, too.

“The Seattle Family Regional Center is focused on the first project on Lake Washington at this time, but the TEA applies to Pierce, King and Snohom-ish County,” said Michael Christ, president of SECO Development, Inc. via email.

SECO, the developer, has hired Mulvanny G2, as the architect, and Sellen, as the general contractor, for the project. His wife Min,runs the Seattle Family Regional Center and is originally from China.

“It is interesting, many

of the EB-5 investors are interested in residency in Seattle, as it is the second most popular destination for Chinese immigration after California,” said Christ of the special immigrant inves-tor visa.

He describes the investors as “bullish” about Renton due to its proximity to Seattle, Bellevue and SeaTac Airport, although he says they probably will consider other locations within the area to invest as well.

“The Seattle Family Re-gional Center is very selec-tive about projects, as they take time to get permitted and built, and the location and product needs to be strong enough to succeed in the event the economy worsens during the develop-ment cycle in which they are built,” Christ said.

The center has had inquiries from investors from Eastern Europe, Latin America and Asia, which is almost exclusively the focus of Min’s marketing. The in-vestors can live anywhere in the U.S., but the jobs gener-ated out of their investment will be in the local area or TEA.

A ceremony will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Oct. 1 on the future site of the Hotel at Southport at 1083 Lake Washington Blvd.

What a great surprise it was to find that the Seattle Opera House, 5th Avenue Theater and many more performing arts locales get their

stage sets built right here in Renton at The Seattle Opera Scenic Studios.

I met with Scenic Studios Manager Michael Moore who calls it a “top secret art lab” where they create “tomor-row’s art today.” There are only about a half dozen of these studios in the entire United States. He makes sure that all supplies and services they need, from welding to getting lunch, are first sourced by local Renton small businesses to help support the local economy.

The building is a huge warehouse that has been on North Fourth Street since 1979. The ceilings are super tall to ac-

commodate some of the stage sets that are constructed here.

Michael was sitting in front of a large white board creating isometric drawings of a set for Semele, an opera scheduled at the Seattle Opera House. A model of the set was on a table near him. He has worked on designing and constructing theatre sets here for 35 years.

“Before you can pull a rabbit out of a hat, you first have to have a rabbit and a hat,” Michael says. “You have a responsibility to the performers and the audi-ence. There are many considerations. Materials are chosen with concern for loads and safety and ease of assembly.

“You know in many careers, mistakes and delays are accepted – but professional artists are expected to deliver every single time when the curtain goes up,” he added.

A couple of years ago, I wrote a blog about Michael’s wife, Janice Moore, who plays the piano at the Kennydale Methodist Church and the cello with the Seattle Philhar-monic Orchestra. On a nearby wall, there was a photograph of Michael and about 25 members of his crew, wearing elf hats that Janice had made for them when they completed the set for “Elf ” at the 5th Avenue Theatre. Besides Seattle venues, the studio builds sets for performances across the country, including Washington, D.C., Houston, Broadway, and Los Angeles. He noted that Broadway shows often debut in Seattle.

When asked about his experience with the performers, he shared this: “There are a few temperamental divas. But one time in a closing scene, a nameless diva plopped down for a death scene on a pillow which somehow was filled with potato chips. To her credit, she kept on singing.”

I asked Michael about the beginnings of his creative pursuits. He said as a small child, his greatest joy was taking a toy apart and rebuilding it. His parents supplied him with Lincoln Logs and Tinker Toys, and he was exposed to the

mechanics of architecture when his father built their home in Auburn from scratch.

Early on, he had access to tools. And his mom, who was a professional artist, taught him about isometric (three-dimensional drawing) design. During his school years, he worked with the drama club including designing and build-ing sets. He went on to study both music and theatre in Bellingham at what is now Western Washington University.

Besides set design, Michael, like his wife, plays the cello with the Seattle Philharmonic and he is president of the orchestra’s board. Michael fell in love with the cello in fourth grade and was with the Seattle Philharmonic while still in high school. Then 11 years ago, after playing in small ensembles for years while working in theater set design, he accepted a position with the Philharmonic, where he met his wife Janice.

Michael and Janice are rehearsing with the Seattle Phil-harmonic for the upcoming Fall Family Concert, Oct. 19th at the IKEA Performing Arts Center in Renton, sponsored by Allied Arts of Renton.

Due to the great support from the Renton School District, Renton Municipal Arts Commission, the Renton Community Foundation and 4 Culture, ticket prices are low so the entire family can affordably attend. Michael said this year has a Halloween mystery theme and features tap dance artist, Alex Dugdale.

Michael believes it’s a shame that music education has been cut from so many school budgets.

“Students learn about so much more than playing music,” he said. “It teaches them math through fractions, propor-tions and ratios. They learn discipline and the importance of practice. They understand collaboration - groups of people working together to achieve goals”

As for his creative role as a set designer, he said, “It’s all about the technical know-how for the desired story telling – figuring out what works given the restrictions of time, budget, and allotted space.”

Another thing that Michael is passionate about is shop-ping locally.

“I believe in using local businesses as suppliers, like Mc-Clendon Hardware. You should give back to your commu-nity. In the last couple of years, we have put over a million dollars into the Renton economy,” he said.

We toured the large facility, where crew members were busy working on sets. It was hard to know where to look because there were so many interesting pieces to look at from past performances – a flying Pegasus, a ghostly image painted on scrim, a mannequin body, and huge, carved structures.

Renton’s ‘top secret art lab’ keeps Seattle stages looking good

Scenic Studios Manager Michael Moore works on designs for a new Seattle Opera set. LYNDA MAYBURY, For the Renton Reporter


It’s a scary thought, but the holidays are right around the corner. That means the season for volunteering is upon us. It’s the one time a year when many people decide to “give back” to their community and suddenly sign up to serve meals at the local soup kitchen.

But did you know there’s a reason you might want to consider volunteering on a regular basis?

Well, think about it. You can’t hardly pick up a magazine or go online these days without com-ing face-to-face with an article addressing ways to improve your health. From better ways to eat, to easy ways to exercise, we are constantly bom-barded with specific ways to change our lifestyles so that we will live longer and fuller lives.

But here’s a news flash: It has been proven that volunteering is also good for your health.

What? You mean there’s a way to improve my health without cutting out chocolate?

According to a report from the Corporation for National and Community Services, “those who volunteer have lower mortality rates, greater functional ability, and lower rates of depression than those who do not volunteer.”

Who knew?But consider what vol-

unteering is all about. After all, you’re giving your time, talent, or expertise to orga-nizations and people who desperately need them. And you’re doing it willingly and unselfishly.

Studies have shown that volunteering has numerous side benefits. For in-stance, it gives the individual a sense of purpose and helps to validate their sense of worth.

Volunteering helps individuals make new friends and connects them with their commu-nity. For some, it even provides a social network, which can help to support them during their own difficult times. For retired people, this is especially important so they avoid becoming isolated.

It can even help to lift depression, especially for adults age 65 and older, because they are focusing their attention on the needs of someone else.

Older volunteers seem to reap the psycho-social benefits more than their younger coun-terparts. That could be because younger people often volunteer only when it’s mandatory or from a feeling of obligation. But even for them, some of the more obvious benefits include teach-ing new skills and building a resume. In this way, serving as a volunteer can actually help them achieve their own set of goals and feelings of ac-complishment.

But there’s good news for the younger volun-teer, too. Studies have shown that people who consistently volunteer at a younger age will be less likely to suffer ill health as they grow older. For instance, volunteering just 40 hours a year could have a positive effect on one’s long-term health. It can even make you happy.

Happy? Really?So why don’t more people volunteer?Most people say they don’t have the time. But

perhaps if they knew that volunteers are gener-ally happier, they might make the time.

In our own community, there are countless

Safety of kids at risk at McKnight crosswalk

My son attends McKnight Middle School. He takes the bus in the morning, but I catch a Metro bus at the Park and Ride across the street from the school (north of McKnight on Northeast 16th Street).

Every morning I see parents dropping off students at the Metro bus stop across the street from the school. While this is in violation of the “no stopping” signs posted, I am more con-cerned about the safety of the kids. Principal Cooper has reminded parents not to do this, but I see it multiple times every morning.

The parents often stop in front of the cross-walk and kids dash out of the car and across the crosswalk. But often cars are passing the stopped vehicles and aren’t able to see the kids obscured by their parent’s stopped car.

It has been a miracle that no child has been struck by a car yet. However, I witness two or three near misses every day. It is only a matter of time before a child is seriously injured or killed.

I invite Mayor Law to observe this danger-ous situation in the morning, particularly Monday through Thursday. I think you’ll agree that something must be done as soon as pos-

sible to protect the students. I suggest either crossing guards, or an enhanced police pres-ence to prevent cars from stopping along 16th Street in front of the crosswalk. Bill Gembala,Renton

When will enforcement begin in Rainier bus lane?

Now that all the construction has been completed and the dust finally settled on Rainier Avenue South, when can we expect law enforcement to cite those cars that illegally utilize the BUS LANE?

Every day during rush hour you can expect one to three cars in the bus lane illegally cross the intersection instead of making the right turn at the intersection as required.

I travel this road five days a week and with-out fail at least once a week I have to battle for position to merge into this same bus lane for my right turn ahead. I can only think that it’s a matter of time before someone is seriously injured in an accident.

This may be a Renton Police issue but I felt compelled to vent!Gary Glass,Renton

gling child through Communities in Schools of Renton, or help Birthday Dreams stage birthday parties for children living in shelters.

Want to help the homeless? What about sort-ing clothes at the Renton Kiwanis Clothes Bank, or helping to serve a meal to the homeless men in the A.R.I.S.E. program?

Would you rather be outdoors? You can take a disabled child fishing through C.A.S.T for Kids, help with the local Special Olympics, or help to restore outdoor habitats through the Friends of the Cedar River Watershed.

If you’re a young professional and don’t know how to get involved, join The Next Curve. They meet monthly to socialize and learn how to give

back to the community.We all know that the Pharrell Williams song,

“Happy” has gone viral. There have been videos made of everyone from seniors, to elementary school children, to dogs dancing to it.

Maybe it’s time to make a video of a group of volunteers dancing and singing, “Because I’m happy - Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do.”

After all, volunteering can make you happy.Lynn Bohart is the executive director of the Renton Community Foundation that oversees a number of funds that provide charitable dol-lars to support the arts, healthcare, education and families-in-need. She can be reached at [email protected].

As September ends the bulb planting season begins, as does tomato harvesting and leaf raking.

If you have not yet fertilized the lawn with a fall and winter lawn food, then this is your reminder to feed in the fall. Au-tumn fertilizing means fewer lawn weeds in the spring.

You can cut back tender bulbs such as dahlias, cannas and glads as soon as the foliage turns yellow and then uproot the

tuber and store in a cold but not freezing spot for the winter.

Keep large leaves from big leaf maples raked from your lawn. You can store fallen leaves in plastic garbage bags over the winter

and use the rotted leaves as a mulch in the spring. Just be sure to poke air holes in the plastic bags and add a bit of soil to get the compost process going. Store the leaf-filled bags out of sight behind a shrub or in a shed for the winter.

Q. Some of my tomatoes are not yet red and I want to store them

indoors for the winter. Do I need to line them up on the windowsill as my grand-mother? One friend says I should wrap them in newspaper. Please help. A.C., Tacoma

A. Green tomatoes will ripen indoors sooner if they are kept

warm, so placing them on a sunny win-dowsill speeds ripeness due to the tem-perature not the sunlight. Wrapping them

in newspaper keeps them from touching one another which can cause rotting. An easy way to harvest the last of the tomatoes is to uproot the entire plant and hang it upside down from the rafters of a garage or shed. As long as the tomatoes are kept dry and not freezing they have a chance of turning red. Green tomatoes must make it to a certain stage in order to ripen after they are plucked from the vine. If you see a dark green star on the blossom end of your unripe tomatoes, that means it will turn red if given enough time out of the weather. The warmth of the storage area determines how quickly the tomatoes will sweeten up.

Q. I want to add some daffodils and tulips to my garden but am not

sure when to plant the bulbs. I bought a package of bulbs from a home center store and it just says to plant in the fall. What month is best? L.M., Enumclaw

A. Dig in and light up your spring garden with bulbs now so those

daffodils and tulips will have plenty of time to grow a root system before winter hits. In Western Washington our mild winters give gardeners an excuse to procrastinate as you can even wait and plant bulbs in November and still enjoy a colorful spring. Just be sure you remember to get those bulbs into the ground before Christmas and keep them from getting wet while in storage. Many a gardener has found a bag of sprouting bulbs in their garage or garden shed come spring after forgetting to plant in the fall.

Q. Can you suggest a small tree for our climate? I want a tree near

our patio but do not want to be pruning branches away from the house in a couple of years. I don’t want a shrub because I do want something that will cast some shade. P.S., Renton

A. Fall is a great time to add trees to the landscape and Japanese

maples are my favorite small tree for near the house. The paper bark maple or Acer griseum grows to 25 feet in about 10 years and has beautiful peeling bark on the trunk that makes it attractive all year long. For a shaded area consider the thread leaf Japanese maples such as the Acer palma-tum ‘Waterfall’ a slow grower to 10 feet tall or Japanese maples with variegated

foliage as maples with very small leaves or with light colored foliage can burn in the hot sun. Another small tree is the Japanese snowbell or Styrax japonica. Delicate dan-gling white blooms appear in the spring and this small tree does not have invasive roots. Local nurseries compete with great sales on trees and shrubs in the fall and the return of cooler weather makes autumn a great time for adding trees to the land-scape.

ently up for auction by the Washington State Depart-ment of Transportation was partially re-zoned from an R-10 to an R-4 zone.

City officials said the interim zoning was needed because the city is presently in the process of updating its comprehensive plan to better reflect the build out and character of the city’s neighborhoods in an attempt to preserve the character as future develop-ment happens.

Because changes are expected as part of the update, city officials said it was necessary to make the interim changes to prevent projects from vesting under

standards that would no longer be allowed.

The new standards cre-ate within the city a new R-6 zone, complete with changed setbacks and other details.

The city hosted two pub-lic hearings on the changes at the Planning Com-mission and the changes received the recommenda-tion of the Planning and Development Committee Monday prior to adoption Monday night. The interim zoning regulations use a declaration of an “emergen-cy” to institute the changes.

Planning Director Chip Vincent said the use of interim zoning is “chal-lenging” but that it allows

the city to “take it for a test drive” before making a final decision when the Compre-hensive Plan is approved next summer.

Vincent and Lead Plan-ner Angie Mathias said the issue arises because most of the the city’s R-8 neighbor-hoods rarely end up with that level of density. Most have about six homes per acre. To eliminate the “con-fusion” from residents who see new development going in at a higher density than the existing neighborhood, the city is developing the new zone.

Alex Wilford of the Master Builders Association opposed the changes and said he worried about how

the “downzoning” would affect property values and options for homeowners. He also pointed out that the new standards make Renton an “outlier” among surrounding cities by hav-ing a larger minimum lot size than most others, as well as higher setbacks from property lines.

“To me, the more you regulate, the more you dic-tate,” he said Monday.

During Monday’s meeting, Wilford also questioned the need for an “emergency” declaration and said the new zones would be more restrictive than most other cities in the region. Wilford also said that using the city’s own

planning software he could still only fit four homes on an acre using the new R-6 standards.

“These standards will significantly reduce land values,” he said.

Vincent said the emer-gency declaration was necessary because several projects are in the pipeline that could or have vested under the R-8 standards that are drawing opposition from community members, such as the Tiffany Park Development, where neigh-bors are worried that the number of proposed homes will change the nature of their community.

“For a neighbor with a proposed development going in next door that’s incompatible with the exist-ing development patterns in their community, that’s

an emergency to them,” Vincent said.

Planning and Develop-ment Committee Chairman Ed Prince said he supported the measure because he thinks it will “level the play-ing field” for everyone in the run-up to the changes instead of favoring big developers who can afford to speed projects through in order to vest under stan-dards that will be changed.

“I think interim zoning was the right way to go because it puts a pause on and allows us to figure out a future vision for the city,” he said.

City officials said the R-8 zone is not expected to be eliminated and that more specific zoning measures would be part of the public process of the Comprehen-sive Plan update next year.

Woman hit by car, seriously injuredA 73-year-old woman was critically injured Monday

night when she was hit by a vehicle while crossing the Maple Valley Highway, according to the Renton Police Department.

Witnesses told investigators the woman was crossing in the 14900 block of the highway at about 8:25 p.m. when she was struck by a Kia Sorento, according to police. The driver wasn’t arrested.

She suffered life-threatening injuries and was trans-ported to Harborview Medical Center. Initially, it does not appear that alcohol, drugs, or speed were factors in this collision, according to police.

Anyone who witnessed the collision is asked to contact traffic investigator Hyett at 425-430-7500 and refer to case 14-10819.

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

Shots were fired in a southeast Renton neigh-borhood Sept. 21 after an

uncle and nephew argued over a financial situa-tion that occurred several years ago.

The two men were in the other’s face when the 59-year-old uncle told his 45-year-old nephew that “I’ll put a bang in you.” A witness interpreted that to mean he would shoot him.

The nephew got a ham-mer from the garage and the argument continued. Eventually, he put the ham-

mer down and left in his car. He passed his uncle, standing next to a motor-cycle, who fired a pistol at him. The uncle then left.

In assessing the situation, officers determined that firing the pistol had endan-gered nearby residents with injury or death. Officers checked nearby homes, but everyone was OK.

Officers determined there was probable cause to arrest the Renton man for investigation of first-degree assault, domestic violence, and reckless endanger-ment.

GUNS STOLEN: About $5,000 in tools and two guns were stolen, along with a company pickup truck, Sept. 16 outside a tavern on East Valley Road.

The driver of the Ford F-350, a 55-year-old Ho-quiam man, was inside the tavern, eating dinner.

Also stolen was a laptop computer.

The Renton Indians football team on Friday ran into a buzzsaw named Ken-nedy Catholic and picked up their first loss of the young season, 49-6.

The Lancers came out strong, picking up a safety and then a pair of touchdown runs in the first quarter to take a 16-0

third touchdown, but Renton rallied for a score of their own on a 15-yard pass and the teams headed to the locker rooms with the Lancers up 23-7.

In the second half, Kennedy again came out fast, scoring on an 82-yard pass and run and then backing the Indians into the endzone again for their second safety of

the night. Then, the Lancers returned a punt 75 yards for another score, followed by another touchdown run to head into the final frame with a 46-7 lead.

In the fourth, Kennedy was able to pick up a field goal to make the final score 49-7.

The loss drops Renton to 2-1. The Indians play Evergreen Friday at

It was an up and down week for the Lindbergh Eagles volleyball team, with a 3-0 victory over Renton on Sept. 18 and then a 3-0 loss to Ever-green on Tuesday.

Lindbergh battled hard against Evergreen, and coach Steve George said his team hung in there, but a concussion to one of the team’s liberos and multiple other injuries and illnesses plaguing the squad were too much to overcome.

Lindbergh fell 25-27, 19-25, 21-25. Connie Tua had 6 kills, 14 digs and 2 aces in the loss while Ashley Peterson-Laukala had 6 kills and 1 block. Isabelle Diga added 11 digs for the Eagles.

In the first set, Lindbergh won 25-11 and then took the second set by the same score. Renton battled back in the third set but fell just short with the Eagles taking it 25-19 to secure the match win.

Aajua Brooks had 10 kills and 6 aces for the Eagles while Tua added 8 kills of her own. Lauren Martinez had 25 assists for the Eagles.

Also on Tuesday, Renton fell to Kennedy 3-0, losing 5-25, 10-25, 12-25.

Lindbergh is now 2-3. The team traveled to Kennedy Catholic on Thursday and plays Foster at home Tuesday.

Renton falls to 0-5 and played on Tyee Thurs-day at home and travels to Hazen on Tuesday.

water channel, centrally located bathrooms, playgrounds for ages 2 to 5 and 5 to 12, an orchard tree concept, rain gardens, a grass hill and plenty of open space.

This was the third meeting to solicit feedback on the design.

Marsha Rollinger is on the Renton Arts Commission and attended to make sure that art and objects like the Highlands Library turtle are incorporated into the park’s final design.

“I think it’s a good community meeting spot, especially with the new library addition,” she said. “I’m all for get-ting people more out into nature and I think parks are a great way to do this. This is a good example of a mixed-use park that should work.”

The Sunset Neighborhood Park is part of a larger built out of the Sunset Planned Action Environmental Impact Statement Area that includes the new Meadow Crest Early Education Center and its accessible playground, the new Highlands Library and the new housing and

retail space planned around the park.Leslie Betlach is “very excited” and “really happy”

about the project. She is the city’s parks planning and natural resources director.

“We had great public feedback, great involvement and it’s their park and I think they’re really going to enjoy it,” she said.

At this point it’s still not clear how the project will be funded. Betlach’s group has a budget request in for 2017 to fund park construction and she says there are oppor-tunities to get grants in between now and then to fund all or part of construction.

“I think the hard part is going to be coming up with the construction money,” she said. “That’s the first hurdle.”

The next steps are to make any further revisions then present it to the Renton Parks Commission, who then can recommend the project to City Council.

Betlach and her team go before the Renton Parks Commission on Oct. 14 and the project could be recom-mended to City Council as soon as November.

The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord.

By Kathy Lang Family Dog Training Center

Summer’s gone and fall is here but our dogs still need their daily walks and exer-cise sessions. Even a quick bathroom break can turn Fido into a wet mess when it’s pouring outside. Keep your house a little cleaner by teaching Fido where to go, and what to do, when he comes indoors.

For training consistency, use the same door for potty breaks as well as walks. Put a small rug or doormat near the door and make it your dog’s dry-off spot. This could be just inside the back door, in the garage or on the covered porch. Hang a “dog towel” on a nearby hook.

Use a leash and some treats to teach your dog to go to this spot. Give this spot a name or command, such as “Go Dry Off.” Make it a game and reward your dog for going there and staying there. Prac-

tice four or five times in a row to speed the learning process.

Help your dog stand still by holding his collar with one hand while you gently towel him dry with the other. You can teach him to stand quietly while you lift wipe each paw. Eventually he’ll stand on his own while you use both hands to clean him up.

Keep his brush nearby and you can do a little grooming as needed.

Reward Fido with praise

and a treat for remaining in his spot until you remove his leash and say “Okay!”

Practice this routine sev-eral times a day (rain OR

shine) for a couple of weeks and before you know it, Fido will be well on his way to helping keep the house a little cleaner!

Pet ObesityExcess weight is a serious health problem for

dogs and cats and is common in many countries. The two main causes of obesity are too much food and too little exercise. Other contributing factors can be due to hormonal in� uences, certain genetic factors, and other disease processes.

If your pet is carrying extra weight, it can:• Increase the risk of heart disease by forcing

the heart to work harder.• Increase the risk of arthritis as extra weight

can stress the joints, cause joint pain, and make it harder for your pet to move around comfortably.

• Obesity can cause breathing problems, skin and hair coat problems.

• Especially in cats, obesity frequently leads to diabetes.

All of these problems can make your pet uncomfortable and limit the way they interact with you and other family members.

Treatment is to rule out and treat any medical causes, such as hypothyroidism. Reducing caloric intake and increasing exercise can help your pet successfully lose weight. Lifestyle changes and a weight loss program are essential. Your veterinarian can help determine if your pet is too heavy and provide guidelines for achieving their ideal weight.

Muddy Paws & Dirty Dogs

Despite losing their first two games of the season in disap-pointing fashion, the Hazen Highlander football team kept believing in the process and were rewarded Friday night with their first win of the season, a 43-14 victory over Evergreen at Highline Stadium.

Marquise Lee, Nolan Hoover, Kaleb Magee, and Paul Char-bonneau all had big games for Hazen in the victory. The win is also the first for rookie head coach David Kilpatrick-White.

Hazen started the game hot with quarterback Hoover com-pleting a 62-yard touchdown pass to Lee early in the first and Kaleb Magee scoring again on a long 68-yard run to take a 14-0 lead.

But the Wolverines came back strong in the second quarter and tied the game 14-14.

However, a fumble recovery and big third down completion to Eli Azecueta led to 12-yard TD pass from Hoover to Lee and a 22-14 lead at the half.

The Highlanders started the second half with another fumble recovery by Charbonneau, followed by a 15-yard TD pass from Hoover to Kyle Hanis and a 30-14 lead.

In the fourth quarter Hazen’s running backs Lee and Magee each added TD runs. Kilpatrick-White said their success was due in large part to an offensive line led by center Parker Trewet, who was battling an injury from the previous week.

Hoover finished the game 17 of 32 for 211 yards, 3 TDs with no interceptions. Magee led the team in rushing with 16 attempts, 179 yards and 2 TDs. Marquise Lee had 7 catches for 132 yards and 2 TDs plus 6 carries and a third TD.

Defensively Hazen was led by freshman Jacob Black who added a fumble recovery and point-after-touchdown kick to his 8 tackles. Sophomore Bryce Jenkins led the team in tackles with 10.5 in his first career start, while Charbonneau was credited with 2 tackles for a loss along with a key fumble recovery.

The Highlanders (1-2) hosted the Foster Bulldogs Thursday at Renton Memorial Stadium.

Highlander football gets first win of year

The Lindbergh Eagles rode a three- touchdown performance from D’Angelo Faust to get back on the winning track, crushing Highline 40-0 Friday at Renton Memorial Stadium.

Faust carried the ball 17 times for the Eagles, racking up 199 yards and three trips to the endzone. D’Shaun Sims also added 104 yards on 12 carries with a touchdown of his own.

Devon Jackson added two touch-downs for the Eagles.

Lindbergh got things started in the first with a 5-yard run for a score by Jackson and then a 10-yard touchdown run by Faust for a 14-0 first quarter score.

In the second, quarterback Anthony Hill hit Jackson on a 22-yard touchdown pass and the Eagles took a 22-0 lead into the half.

After the break, Lindbergh picked up where it left off, with Faust running in a 7-yard touchdown and then picking up his third of the day on an 86-yard run to paydirt to give the Eagles a 34-0 lead after three.

In the fourth, Sims picked up an insurance touchdown on a 2-yard run for a 40-0 final.

Lindbergh is now 2-1 and will head to Cascade Christian on Saturday.
