Two trouble bars may lose liquor licenses

BY TRACEY COMPTON

Hundreds of Renton homeless students and their families could potentially benefit from a bill that’s currently working its way through the state Senate.

The Homeless Student Stability Act (HB 1682) seeks to provide direct financial support to school districts to allow them to

provide new and increased levels of service to homeless students.

It passed in the state House of Represen-tatives by a vote of 82 to 16 on March 6.

A report by Columbia Legal Services analyzing data for the last school year released by the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction found a statewide high of 32,494 homeless students. The

school districts surveyed were in eastern King and Snohomish counties and most saw the districts’ homeless populations increase during the past year, according to a press release.

The Renton School District has the highest population of students experienc-ing homelessness of the other districts surveyed, which were Bellevue, Index, Is-saquah, Lake Washington, Monroe, North-shore, Riverview, Skykomish, Snohomish, Snoqualmie Valley and Sultan.

Renton’s homeless student population was 430 in the 2012 to 2013 school year

and 439 last year. So far this year, there have been 390 cases of reported homeless-ness in the district and Renton School District officials expect it to increase before the year is over.

Jason Breaker is the designated district McKinney-Vento or Homeless Liaison. The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act was passed by the U.S. Federal Govern-ment to strengthen education support for students who find themselves and their families temporarily homeless.

Burglars entering unlocked homes

BY DEAN A. RADFORD

Two restaurants in Renton with a his-tory of liquor-law violations and police responses could lose their liquor licenses.

The Washington State Liquor Control Board sent letters in early March to the owners of Golden Dynasty Bar and Res-taurant and the now-closed HomeRun Restaurant and Lounge, informing them of the board’s intent to not renew the establishments’ liquor licenses.

Both businesses have requested hearings on their license renewal but dates haven’t been set yet, according to Mikhail Carpenter, a liquor board spokesman.

Golden Dynasty is open but Home-Run has been closed for some time.

The final decision whether to renew the licenses will be made by the three-member liquor control board.

“All licensees are subject to the Administrative Procedures Act which affords them rights; when you are tak-ing someone’s license, you are in many cases taking their livelihood, so there is a series of checks and balances,” Carpenter

Renton Police urge residents to keep their doors and windows locked, especially at night, because of a rash of residential burglaries – many when the residents are at home.

More than a dozen such burglaries have been reported in recent weeks in north Renton and in south Newcastle.

The suspects simply enter through an unlocked door or open window and grab easily located items, such as cash or car keys, before leaving, according to police.

The idea is to turn the stolen items into something valuable quickly. In some cases the burglars have left behind tools and other bigger items that are harder to pawn, according to police.

N Officials urge parents not to ‘opt out’ of state testsBY TRACEY COMPTON

[email protected]

The “Opt-out Movement” of parents with-drawing their children from the upcoming test-ing tied to Common Core State Standards isn’t really a “movement” and the cases have been isolated, one local official told media members March 25.

Speaking at a media roundtable on the Smart-er Balanced Assessments, Puget Sound Educa-tional Service District (PSESD) Superintendent John Welch, said he doesn’t see the Opt-out Movement as a growing trend, though PSESD is not tracking the number of parents opting-out of the assessments.

His comments came as part of a discussion with the media designed to demystify Common Core and Smarter Balanced myths and included a panel of educators, superintendents, principals, education administrators and Ben Rarick, the executive director of the State Board of Educa-tion.

The roundtable was facilitated by ReadyWA, a coalition of state and local education agencies, associations and advocacy organizations.

The state Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) won’t know how many stu-dents opted out of the tests until all the tests are administered and all the data is collected. The two most visible cases of parents and schools opting out so far are Seattle’s Nathan Hale High School and Vashon Island schools.

The education service district is encouraging parents not to opt out of the Smarter Balanced Assessments.

“Parent refusals could result in schools not meeting federal Adequate Yearly Progress, which has an impact on how they can spend

some federal money,” said Nathan Olson, OSPI spokesperson.

AYP is an annual measure of student achieve-ment on state tests in reading and math, as set forth in the 2001 No Child Left Behind act. Dis-tricts that do not meet AYP are required to “set aside” 20 percent of the Title I funds they may receive from the federal government to hire pri-vate vendors for tutoring or to bus students who want to transfer to a school that met the goals.

Sixty-eight percent of state residents support the new Common Core State Standards and 75

percent agree that the new assessments “are bet-ter geared to accurately measure what students really know and can do,” according to ReadyWA.

Overall, the panel members said the new state standards and testing are forcing students to delve deeper into content areas and practice their skills with real world applications.

“We’re not just learning a little bit of math, we’re becoming masters,” said Elaine Don-doyano, math intervention specialist at Seattle’s Rainier View Elementary School.

Bonney Lake High School English teacher Emily Wojciechowicz reported that her students were reading deeper to get at “why” questions the material asks them. The new standards are helping students read and write better across all content areas, she said.

So why the push for the new Common Core State Standards and Smarter Balanced Assess-ments? The simple answer offered by educators is to make students more college- and career-ready. Washington has the 12th-largest achieve-ment gap in the country, according to ReadyWA. Of recent high school graduates, 57 percent have to take at least one remedial class in math, read-ing or writing.

On top of that, Washington’s economy is in need of skilled workers to fill the many unfilled high-tech jobs that are in the state, Welch said.

ReadyWA projects that there will be 50,000 unfilled jobs for highly skilled workers in the state by 2017. Currently there are 2.5 times as many entry-level, science, technology, engineer-ing and math (STEM)-related jobs as there are STEM graduates in the state.

This spring, students in grades 3 to 8 and 11 will take the Smarter Balanced Assessments. The tests replace the Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL), Measurements of Student Progress (MSP) and the High School Proficiency Exams (HSPE).

ReadyWA expects that fewer students will meet the higher proficiency for the first few years because the tests are asking for more. Students’ scores will represent a new baseline. In August, the State Board of Education will set a new lower threshold score for exit exams and graduation purposes.

The board intends to set a new standard equivalent to the old standard for a transition period this August, said Ben Rarick, the execu-tive director of the State Board of Education.

The third-grade test results will be released in early June. The state test scores will be released to the districts in late June and the public release of those scores is late July.

“Parent refusals could result in schools not meeting federal Adequate Yearly Progress, which has

an impact on how they can spend some federal money.”

POLICE WARN OF PSE SCAM

The Renton Police Department is warning

citizens about a new scam that has targeted multiple

businesses in the past monthk.

According to police a caller claims to be from Puget

Sound Energy and says a bill is past due and must be paid

immediately to avoid a loss of power.

The caller then provides instructions to purchase

“Reload” cash cards and then call back with the code.

The caller also took debit card information from the

business for “automatic deposits” to pay future bills,

according to the police.The caller I.D. also apparently

shows the call to be coming from Puget Sound Energy.

Police and PSE are warning that this is a scam.

According to the company, PSE will never ask or require

customers with delinquent accounts to purchase a prepaid debit card.

Customers with delinquent accounts receive multiple

notifications by mail and by phone over several weeks

prior to disconnection.If you receive one of these calls, hang up and call 911

immediately and/or report the calls to the

Attorney General’s office at 1-800-551-4636.


President Barack Obama spoke in Cleve-land two weeks ago and mentioned his sup-port of mandatory (or compulsory) voting in the United States.

The president said it would “completely transform the political map in this country” and argued mandatory voting would help remove big money from politics, encourage the young, working class and disenfran-chised citizens to vote and increase voting turnout numbers.

Many news sources reported 57.5 percent of the American public voted in the 2012 presidential election. That’s not such a bad number – at least the majority of registered voters showed up at the polls.

The number dips to an abysmal 37 percent for the 2014 midterm elec-tions. Although midterm elections don’t have the same turnout as presiden-tial elections, it still means a little more than one-third of registered took control of the governmen-tal wheel, so to speak.

In contrast to the low voter turnout in the U.S., Australia constantly boasts high voter turnouts. The Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance reported Australia had a registered voter turnout between 93 and 95 percent since 1946.

However, between 78 and 91 percent of the voting age population historically shows up at the polls, so the voting turnout num-bers are often debated.

Still, anywhere between 78 and 95 percent of voters at the polls is a great win for democracy, and the high participation numbers are most likely caused by Austra-lia’s mandatory voting system, which fines unregistered voters and citizens who don’t vote about $20.

Admittedly, Australia is one of a minority of 23 countries with mandatory voting laws, and only one of 10 which enforces those laws, according to the BBC.

Other counties that have mandatory vot-ing laws include Costa Rica, Egypt, Lebanon, Argentina and Belgium.

For the sake of argument, let’s assume a supermajority of Americans would rather take the pains to vote than get fined $20, and voting numbers would stretch into 80 percent range for all elections.

Also for the sake of argument, ballots in-clude a “none of the above” option, so voters who truly have no opinion have a voice and can bypass the fine.

The question now is, is it healthy for a democracy to have mandatory voting laws? After all, it is a bit of a paradox – democratic philosophy relies on the freedom of choice,

In my first column, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I’m Vicky Baxter, the new CEO of the Renton Chamber of Commerce.

The most-asked question of me is, “Why did you move here?” Three years ago while attending our daughter’s wedding, my husband and I knew we had discovered gold walking around Renton.

Folks were friendly. The sky was majestic blue, Lake Washington was beckoning and Mount Rainier left us breathless. And the quaint down-town was full of antique stores and good eats.

Foodies from as far as Orange County, Calif., told me about Melrose Grill, Wild Fin, Marianna Ristorante, Ivar’s Seafood and so many more.

As a new Rentonian, I swell up with pride as I watch events like the Community Foundation’s celebration of philanthropy, honoring vol-unteers who give their time, talent and treasure in service to others.

And a sincere thanks to the Renton Reporter for allowing

me the space to promote chamber members and Renton. Hometown papers are the best. They not only inform but they transform us by giving us a feeling of belonging that we matter to one another and a shared commitment to the future of our city.

A longtime resident who has become a mentor and friend (Bill), champions Renton unashamedly. We had lunch the other day at the Tea Palace Asian Restaurant on Sunset, dining on their delicious dim sum and discussing the expansion of Renton Honda with a new show-room that can house 600 Honda Fit models. Wow, that’s big!

In fact, we are seeing a lot of expansion and revitalization in Renton, bringing new jobs and

new residents. GEICO Insurance just expanded their Renton campus and are hiring. SECO De-velopment is beginning the next phase of build-ing their 350-room hotel and convention center, with the installation of a 15-story crane.

Watch for more growth and expansion at The Landing. I even heard whispers of expansion over at King and Bunnies! Plus, the Red Lion Hotel and Conference Center is highlighting their inner beauty. Go take a look.

If you want some bragging rights as a proud resident of Renton, here’s a few: The new Subway Restaurant on Grady Way is a drive through, one of the first in the country. The Boeing 737 Plant is powered 100 percent with renewable energy. Jimi Hendrix’s final resting place is at Greenwood Memorial Park. The NFC champion Seahawks, who begin their 40th season this summer, call Renton home. And long before most hospitals thought about wellness, Valley Medical Center had an indoor pool and fitness center attracting thousands.

I am also surprised how often I get lost in Renton. Thank goodness the new maps of the City of Renton are in and free to everyone. Come by the chamber on South Fourth Street and pick one up!

The Renton Chamber is here to be the vital link, leveraging the talents and resources of our members to build a stronger community and improve economic opportunities. As a Visitor Center our mission is to aggressively market Renton’s assets, maximizing economic impact while providing excellent visitor service.

Upcoming events include the 2015 Ahead of the Class Excellence in Education Awards on April 16. For more info, visit www.gorenton.com.

which includes the freedom to not choose, or in this case, the freedom to not vote.

Some arguments against mandatory voting say the aver-age American is incompetent at following political races and their votes for presidents and congressmen are based on sensationalized headlines and misinformation.

If we were to force the uninformed masses to vote, the argument goes, the political system would become more backward than it already is. Hence, only the informed should participate in the political system and the ignorant should choose to remove themselves from the game.

Ilya Somin of the Washington Post wrote an opinion article about Obama’s speech, refuting the president’s argu-ment that compulsory voting would help get big money out of politics.

Somin argues, “relatively ignorant voters are more likely to be influenced by simplistic 30 second ads than relatively well-informed ones,” and more money will pour into the political system to sway the uninformed.

This may be so, and as a journalist, I’ve seen how people can be led astray by misinformation from both sides of the political spectrum.

However, I think a mandatory voting system gives many disenfranchised citizens a chance to voice their opinion. This would not only far outweigh the cons of uninformed voters participating in the political arena, but it also re-solves the paradox of mandatory voting in a democracy.

Elections are run by multi-million dollar PACs and laws are passed by deep-pocketed lobbyists. Money runs the American political system now, not the voters. So maybe it’s time for the government to help the people take back their voice.

In his speech, Obama said, “The people who tend not to

vote are young, they’re lower income, they’re skewed more heavily toward immigrant groups and minority groups . . . There’s a reason why some folks try to keep them away from the polls. We should want to get them into the polls.”

Political studies show that many young people, such as myself, vote for more liberally. The same goes for the working and poor classes, as well as immigrant groups and minorities. It may be a political boon for the Democratic party if a mandatory voting system was installed, but not all conservatives vote during elections either. And not all liberals and conservatives are straight-ticket voters.

Really, no one knows which party, if either, would ben-efit the most from a mandatory voting system.

Rohan Wenn, a spokesperson for the non-partisan po-litical advocacy group Get Up! was quoted in a BBC article about Australian mandatory voting.

“If you look at the international experience, in non-compulsory voting systems,” he said, “the people who don’t vote are the poor and disenfranchised and those are exactly the people we think should be voting.”

Everyone should have the power to vote, but in recent history the voices of the tired, the poor and the huddled masses have eroded, and the rich and affluent have built walls and towers to consolidate their control.

Maybe the answer isn’t mandatory voting. Maybe we should make presidential and midterm elections a national holiday, so more people can take the time to vote. If that option is too expensive, then let’s try voting on the week-end.

Maybe laws should be passed to ensure political ads con-vey truthful and accurate information and money spent on political campaigns should have a cap limit and be made 100 percent transparent. Any of these solutions could be a step toward equality and a more effective government.

But the fact remains that an accessible voting system

with a high participation rate will only help a democracy, not hinder it.

And of course, if one party does benefit from a silent majority now compelled to vote, well, that’s democracy for you.

Guns were left behind but a five-year-old laptop was stolen, as were tools, in a Highlands burglary March 15.

“With the increase in temperatures and summer months ahead, it’s easy to let down your guard to enjoy the weather,” said Renton Police spokesper-son Terri Vickers. “Don’t give criminals an easy opportunity to steal your property – keep your doors and windows locked.”

Perhaps 30 years ago, Renton experienced a similar string of burglaries committed at night, which, like now, was unusual, ac-cording to Vickers.

“They don’t want to in-teract with people,” Vickers said of the burglars.

Several years ago there was a rash of burglaries in Renton committed during the day, when people typi-cally aren’t at home.

No arrests have been made, although in a Feb. 13 burglary, a Tukwila K9 track led to a nearby residence. The soles on a teen’s tennis shoes possibly matched imprints found at crime scene and were wet. But the victim, who had confronted the burglar inside his home, did not recognize the teen as the

person in his home.In one case the burglars

came through an unlocked sliding-glass door and stole car keys, a purse and a computer owned by Boeing, all without waking the residents or the dogs sleeping upstairs.

In just seconds a burglar removed a window screen and entered the home through an open window into a room where three children were sleeping – then stole items from the victim’s purse and left through the front door.

In another case, a woman’s wallet stolen the night before in Newcastle was found March 19, with credit and debit cards still inside, by a Renton woman walking her child to school in the Renton Highlands.

Vickers said it’s possible other incidents have gone unreported because resi-dents think they’ve simply misplaced their belong-ings, not guessing a burglar entered their home and stole them while they slept.

Renton Police offered some ideas to help secure a home:

• A secondary lock on sliding-glass doors or a sturdy dowel in the door track or a window track will decrease the chance a burglar will pry open a door or window.

• All exterior doors should be solid wood or metal and fitted with dead-bolt locks installed with 3-inch screws to reduce the risk of prying.

• Window screens do not provide security, as they can easily be removed or cut.

A security video showed three young men outside a Renton house at about 3 a.m. March 21. One of them found an unlocked door, entered the house, picked up an iPad in the living room and set it down in the kitchen, all caught on security video.

But one of the males out-side alerted the one inside that there were cameras and they all fled without taking anything.

The Boy Scouts of America in Renton and throughout the Puget Sound Area teamed up to do a good turn for the community by collecting non-perishable food items throughout the city as part of the Scouting for Food drive.

Hundreds of Scouts went door-to-door through neighborhoods collecting bag after bag of food and delivered them to the Renton Salvation Army Food Bank.

In just Renton and Kent, more than 10,000 pounds of food was gathered and delivered. Across the greater Seattle Area, the total neared 100,000 pounds.

Service to others is among the most important values of the Boy Scouts of America. “It was fun to put the fliers out on doors asking for food, even though it was raining!”

said Liam Hays, a brand new Scout in Troop 408. “It felt nice to help people who I will probably never see.”

Todd Daniels, one of the assistant scoutmasters for Troop 408, was impressed. “Our boys have been part of the Scouting for Food drive for at least 12 or 13 years now,”

he said. “It has been very gratifying to our Scouts to start giving back to their community at such a young age.”

Last year, Boy Scouts in the Kent and Renton Area contributed more than 10,000 hours of community service, valued at nearly $250,000.

It is estimated that nationally 17.6 million American households live in homes that ex-perience hunger: where meals are frequently skipped or who go without food for a whole day, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Through the combined efforts of local residents, neighborhood food banks and the Boy Scouts of America, hungry families will know that their community cares by providing meals for them to eat.

The Chief Seattle Council serves thousands of young people between 7 and 20 years of age across the greater Seattle area through the Boy Scouts of America, the nation’s foremost youth program promoting character development and values-based leadership training.

House budget includes money for Cedar River

The House of Repre-sentatives released their proposed capital construc-tion budget on March 23, including $5 million for multi-benefit floodplain management projects in King County, includ-ing Renton, through the Floodplains by Design initiative.

If the Senate agrees with this level of funding, people in King County and nine other communi-ties across Washington will be safer and salmon habitat will get a boost. The money would be ad-ministered through the Department of Ecology’s competitive Floodplains by Design grant pro-gram.

Funding would allow King County to acquire approximately 45 acres and remove of 14 or 15 homes from harm’s way in floodplain, while making way for future restoration on 232 acres.

The Cedar River corridor east of Renton was one of the top ranked projects this year, selected for the multiple benefits it will deliver, including flood risk reduction, fish habitat

restoration and other community priorities. Floodplains by Design champions a collabora-tive approach to meeting multiple objectives with limited public dollars.

A coalition of advocates, from counties and cities to businesses, and The Nature Conservancy are seeking $50 million in state capital budget dollars for the innovative Floodplains by Design program.

“As our climate changes and catastrophic flood events increase in both in-tensity and frequency, it is critical for Washington to take common sense steps that protect both com-munities and wildlife,” said

Mike Stevens, Washing-ton State Director of The Nature Conservancy.

Floodplains by Design is a public-private partner-ship working to reduce flood risks and restore habitat, while also sup-porting other floodplain priorities such as clean water, agriculture and recreation, along Washing-ton’s major river corridors. Because Floodplains by Design projects are built collaboratively from the ground up and serve di-verse interests, they enjoy broad support and deliver multiple benefits.

said.The City of Renton opposes renewal of the

licenses, one of the facts the liquor board’s Licensing and Regulation Division cited in its recommendation that the board not renew the licenses.

Renton Mayor Denis Law said he’s pleased the liquor control board has recommended its intent to deny the renewal of the busi-nesses’ licenses.

“Both businesses have been a serious con-cern to the city and surrounding residents due to a long history of ongoing distur-bances, violence and other issues,” he said. “We will continue to take a strong position against any business that negatively impacts the community and creates a public safety concern.”

Law said the city has taken several steps to address such issues, including the nuisance ordinance adopted by the City Council.

“We’re pleased to have been successful at resolving the issues from the majority of the establishments that have been a problem for the city,” he said. “Most of the resolutions were through direct dealings with property

owners who took control of the tenants responsible for the complaints.”

A representative for HomeRun couldn’t be reached for comment.

“Everything is status quo for now,” said Kenneth Chang, the attorney for Golden Dynasty, which still has a liquor license.

Chang said the ownership is still trying to sell the business and property. He guesses that if the license is not renewed, he might recommend the owners close the bar opera-tion but still operate the restaurant.

The Golden Dynasty at 247 Park Ave. N. has held a liquor license since April 30, 2013.

In her letter to the Golden Dynasty, Rebecca Smith, director of the Licensing and Regulation Division, outlined the reasons for recommending that the liquor license not be renewed:

• The City of Renton submitted a timely objection to the renewal based on a history of serious public safety problems, nuisance and criminal activity at the location.

• In two years Golden Dynasty has ac-crued four Administrative Violation Notices; five of the six charges in the notices were public-safety violations.

• Golden Dynasty failed to comply with

license restrictions imposed by the board when the license was issued.

• Golden Dynasty has continued to not comply with liquor laws and rules.

The HomeRun Restaurant and Lounge is at 423 Airport Way. It has held a liquor license since Nov. 17, 2011.

In her letter to HomeRun, Smith with the liquor control board outlines the reasons for the recommendation:

• The City of Renton submitted a timely objection to the renewal based on a history of serious public safety problems, nuisance and criminal activity at the location.

• The restaurant has accrued seven verbal warnings and one sustained Administrative Violation Notice.

At the administrative hearing, both sides will present their arguments so an inde-pendent arbiter can determine whether the board “has followed all relevant adminis-trative procedures in denying the license,” Carpenter said.

If the arbiter sides with the board, the order to deny the license renewal is upheld; the arbiter could send it back to the board for further deliberation if fault is found in the order, according to Carpenter.

[ LICENSES from page 1] ‘Arcadia’ opens this weekend at RCT

veyed in Columbia Legal Services’ report could only spend about two hours a day on homeless services for their students, having to juggle other assignments. Breaker spends more than two hours a day providing services for homeless students, he said in an email.

“For example, I have spent most of the past two days on homeless services,” Breaker said. “Additionally, that does not account for my admin assistant’s time spent on OSPI reporting, doing intakes, processing expendi-tures for homeless services; and it does not account for our district transportation router’s time for arranging transportation for homeless students; and it does not account for my school staff that assist in the identifica-tion and case management of homeless students.”

Of Breaker’s different assignments for the district, he said, his role as homeless student education liaison takes priority and gets a large piece of his time. He feels that having additional funds for schools to have counselors at every level of education would be benefi-cial to all students.

“I will just say that I would like the state to have a funded mandate for school counselors in every school,” Breaker said. “The high school level is the only requirement in Washington. My belief is having school counselors in every school will not only help homeless students, but every student within the school.”

The new bill in the Senate (SB 5065) would allow a limited number of school districts to partner with community housing organizations that would provide housing for homeless students as opposed to trans-porting them to their home district. In 2014, school districts spent $18 million statewide transporting homeless students to and from school after they had entered homelessness, according to Columbia Legal Services.

The bill must pass out of the Senate K-12 and Early Education Committee and Senate Ways and Means Committee by April 7 to continue through the legisla-tive process.

BY DEAN A. RADFORD

[email protected]

A 20-year-old Renton woman has pleaded not guilty to charges she stole thousands of dollars from two individuals to whom she rented the same house in South Renton.

Cookie Marie Saovangxay was charged with first-degree theft and second-degree theft. She was arraigned on March 16; she was arrested at the house on Feb. 15 but not jailed.

Saovangxay listed her former residence, a house in the 2900 block of Cedar Avenue in Renton that she does not own, as available “for rent” on the Craigslist and Zillow websites, according to Renton Police.

Renton Police estimate that more than 10 families were scammed of more than $50,000, according to a news release.

Two of the victims are listed in the charging documents filed on March 15.

One of the victims signed a rental agreement on Jan. 16 and turned over a $5,400 cashier check. The move-in date was March 1.

According to charging documents, the victim became suspicious when Saovangxay didn’t responded to emails or phone calls and the rental house was still listed on Zillow.

The second victim happened to be in the area when two Renton Police officers were at the house. He had signed a lease on Feb. 11 and turned over a cashier check for $3,800. The move-in date was April 1.

According to charging documents, Saovangxay admitted to officers she rented the house to two different people and deposited the checks into her savings account.

In a related case not cited by prosecutors in the charging documents, a 37-year-old Renton man told Renton officers on March 14 he completed a rental agreement in late De-cember and turned over a personal check for $5,400. They agreed to a move in date of Feb. 15, although, according to a Renton Police report, he was given numerous reasons why the house wasn’t available.

The Renton man hadn’t learned of the scam until March 14. He was trying to get his money back from his bank. He told officers he didn’t want to pursue charges.

Renton woman charged in rental scam that netted tens of thousands of dollars

A person can also indicate whether they want artificial life support to prolong life after the point of natural death by signing a Health Care Directive.

A Health Care Directive can express decisions about end-of-life health care that may be deemed futile.

The Hazen Highlander soccer team this week picked up two wins and a draw.

The team began this week’s play with a March 25 0-0 draw at home against Evergreen that coach Ken Matthews called “a step backward” for his squad.

Matthews said the Evergreen defense “frustrated” the Highlanders all night, but he cited senior keeper Jamie Martinez for earning a shutout of his own.

Then, on March 27, the Highlaners got back on track with a 4-2 win over the Foster Bulldogs at Renton Memorial Stadium.

Junior midfielder and captain Reyes Garcia had a hat trick for the High-landers, while defender and Hector Cervantes connected on the fourth goal for Hazen.

Foster struck first in the ninth minute, but Matthews said he was pleased how his team responded.

“Going down at nine minutes could have been a game breaker,” he said in a press release. “But the team held together and equalized off a free kick that Rey puts away.”

Garcia scored an unassisted goal in the 20th minute to tie the game

and the two teams headed to the half knotted at 1. Early in the second, Cervantes scored his goal off a Drew Wilson assist (47th minute) to take the lead. Garcia added a penalty kick at 58 minutes and then put in the insurance goal at 76 minutes off an assist by Ethan Kem.

Continuing their streak, the Highlnaders went into Highline on Tuesday and came out with another victory.

Junior forward Zach Quensal got things started early when he knocked a loose ball into the goal just 30 seconds into the game to give Hazen a quick lead.

Five minutes later, Quensal picked up an assist when forward Abel Haro took a pass and put it in the net for his first goal of the season.

Highline scored early in the second half to make it a close game, but Hazen was able to hold on for the win.

“Can any of these games be easy?” asked Matthews in an email. “High-line was a perfect example of why will work on improving our pace of play this season.”

With the wins, Hazen increases its record to 4-1-1 overall and 3-0-1 in the Seamount.

The Highlanders will host Renton Friday at Renton memorial Stadium.

Highlander soccer wins, loses and draws this week

The Renton boys and girls track teams eas-ily dispatched Foster and Highline Thursday at Renton Memorial Stadium.

Officially, the dual meet pitted Renton against Foster and Foster against Highline, so the Indians only picked up a single mark in the win column but the Indians easily ran away with the meet. The boys topped Foster 106-39 while the girls won 91-37.

The Indian boys and girls also beat Highline 117-23 and 88-46, respectively.

Renton runners won nearly every event on Thursday. In the girls meet, the Lady Indians took the top spot in every race except the 300-meter hurdles and the 4x200-meter relay.

The Renton boys won every event except the 4x100 meter relay.

On the “field” side, Renton boys athletes won every event except the high jump, javelin and dis-cus while Renton girls had a tougher time in the non-running events, only winning the long jump and triple jump.

Renton track races past Foster, HighlineThe Hazen girls tennis team
