Primary election ballots must be returned by TuesdayBY BRIAN BECKLEY
Though there are no City of Renton races on the ballot this time around, Tuesday’s primary election includes nearly all of the state officials who represent Renton in Olympia, as well as a congressional primary.
The biggest race this time around is the battle for the state senate seat form the 37th district, which includes a portion of northwestern Renton. With the retirement
of Adam Kline, the race to replace him is a crowded one with six candidates vying for the two available spots in November’s general election.
Five Democrats and a Republican have entered the fray for Kline’s seat. Hoping to replace him are Claude Burfect, John Stafford, Pramila Jayapal, Sheley Secrest and Louis Watanabe, all from Seattle and all preferring the Democratic Party, and Rowland Martin, from Renton, who prefers the Republican party.
There is also a primary in the race for
the 37th District’s Position 1 representative, where incumbent Sharon Tomiko Santos who prefers the Democratic Party, is being challenged by John Dickinson, who also prefers the Democrats, and Daniel Bretzke, who prefers the Republicans.
Only two candidates - Representative Eric Pettigrew, who prefers the Democratic Party, and challenger Tamra Smilanich, who prefers to remain non-partisan - are running for the district’s Representative po-sition 2 so both will move on to November.
In the 11th district, which includes the
vast majority of Renton voters, there is no race this year for senator. As for the House, Rep. Zack Hudgins is running unopposed while Rep. Steve Bergquist, who prefers the Democrats, is being challenged by Sarah Sanoy-Wright, who prefer the Republicans. All three will move forward to the general election.
Renton also includes parts of the 41st District, which stretches primarily to the north of the city, but includes the Ken-nydale neighborhood, and a small part of

Gunfire exchanged outside downtown SafewayBY DEAN A. RADFORD
No one, including innocent bystanders, was injured when a running gun battle be-tween two men broke out Tuesday evening in the Safeway parking lot on South Third Street.
The gunfire was exchanged at about 7:30 p.m. between two men who appeared to be in their late teens.
One of the men approached the park-ing lot from South Third Street. When he reached the second man standing near the rear of a car, he pointed a semi-automatic handgun at him, according to police reports.
The two engaged in a heated argument. The man with the handgun fired approxi-mately twice but the second man appar-ently wasn’t injured and ran toward the store. He fired his own gun three times at the pursuing suspect.
Exchanging gunfire, they ran toward South Third Street, according to police reports.
The first man was picked up by a grey or silver sedan that was waiting behind

It started out as a whim. Arelene Willcocks of Kennydale saw a blurb on TV about a book exchange stand. Then she saw a similar ad in a magazine for the same mini-library.
“I thought that that was such a good idea,” said Willcocks, remembering the first man who built one in memory of his mother, a teacher.
Willcocks enlisted the help of her husband, Dan, who works with wood as a hobby and away they went. What they created was a mini-library that looks like an elaborate bird house, perched at the end of their driveway. They filled it with their books and passed out flyers at a home owners association event. With the phrase ‘Take a book; Leave a book,’ above the door, people in the neighborhood can come swap out books as they wish.
“It kinda goes in streaks sometimes,” said Willcocks. “This street happens to have a lot of walkers and I was told that our street’s the most gradual as far as a hill.”
The Willcocks have lived in the same Kennydale house for 44 years and watched the blackberry bushes around them turn into prime real estate prop-erties. Their Kennydale Book Exchange has mysteries, dramas and even kids’ books, which they buy from the Goodwill or St. Vincent de Paul.
“It’s been really fun to have that and see people stop and go through it,” Willcocks said. “And we put a bench out there last year, I think. We get people who just sit there and sometimes they’re just taking a rest on the way up the hill, but sometimes they’re looking at books.”

Approximately 400 feet of gabions along the stretch of the lower Cedar River Trail between Logan and Bronson Way were damaged by floating debris during the January 2009 flood. The trail along the river’s north edge will be closed through mid-September 2014 to replace these damaged gabions.
Temporary repairs were performed in January 2009, but the 30 year old rock-filled wire baskets which aid in erosion control are nearing the end of their serviceable life and require replacement. The city received FEMA funding in 2012 to replace the gabi-ons and has scheduled the project to be completed in July and August, when the water is low and salmon and other endangered fish are typically not present.
During the work, the contractor will use a portion of North Riverside Drive between Wells Avenue North and Williams Avenue North for staging and storage, and will use the existing ramp at the intersection of Wells Avenue North and North Riverside Drive to access the trail.
A traffic control plan will create a single traffic lane along this block of North River-side Drive and pedestrians will be asked to cross the bridge to South Riverside Drive during construction.
Park patrons will still have access to N. Riverside Drive, and the Cedar River Trail.

?Question of the week:“Should we control the population of Canada geese on our beaches?”
Vote online:www.rentonreporter.com
Last week’s poll results:“Should Hillary Clinton run for president again?”
Yes: 23% No: 77%
You said it!
We must share the earth, even with Canada geese
USDA Wildlife Services has been lethally removing Canada geese in the Puget Sound area for 13 years under an interlocal agree-ment between several cities and entities within the region. The geese are being rounded up in our parks and gassed to death or shot on Lake Washington.
In 2013, nearly 1,200 geese were killed by Wildlife Services in just King County alone.
Renton, as well as several other cities in the area, are members of the interlocal agreement and pay to have the geese killed.
Many humane solutions can be utilized to mitigate conflicts with geese in urban areas. These include goose deterrent products and control techniques; public outreach on the need to stop feeding waterfowl; automated devices to clean up goose droppings; and reduction of populations through egg addling.
Health concerns are often cited in order to jus-tify the killing of geese. However, according to the Washington Department of Fish and Wild-life website, “Canada geese are not considered to be a significant source of any infectious disease transmittable to humans or domestic animals.”
I lived close to Gene Coulon Park for many years and was appalled to learn that geese were killed in or near the park.
Killing geese creates a void in the environ-ment, other geese quickly move in, and a new round of killing begins. This creates an endless cycle of killing. The brutal killing of thousands of geese, including their newborn goslings, must stop. We must do a better job of sharing the earth with wildlife.
For more information and to sign a petition to stop the killing, please see

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
People who know me know that while I run the Renton Community Foundation by day, by night, I write murder mysteries.
The crime that drove the story line in my latest book was illegal sex trafficking. And although I write murder mysteries for fun and enjoyment, I find human trafficking hor-rifying and tragic. In fact, I hoped to make that point at the end of that book, when I encouraged readers to do their own research and get involved in this worldwide problem.
Most people don’t like to think about hu-man trafficking, whether it’s for forced labor or for sex. But according to the Washington Engage website, human trafficking is tied with illegal arms trading as the second-larg-est criminal industry in the world today.
And, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, it’s the fastest growing.
The Washington Anti-trafficking Response Network defines human trafficking as “. . . the use of force, fraud or coercion to compel a person into any form of work or ser-vice against their will.”
We normally think of human trafficking as
involving those who get caught up unwill-ingly in the sex trade. But it can occur in any industry, including construction, salons, restaurants, hotels and cleaning services.
The Polaris Project describes it this way: “Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery where people profit from the control and exploitation of others.” They report that it is a multi-billion-dollar industry that de-nies freedom to 20.9 million people around the world.
Sadly, human trafficking has been reported in all 50 states here in America. And believe me, it’s alive and well right here in Washing-ton.
In fact, out of the almost 32,000 calls to the National Human Trafficking Resource Center Hotline in 2013, 633 were from Washington state.
That makes our state 11th out of all 50 states in the number of calls for help last year.
While there is not an accurate count of how many victims there are in the U.S., estimates are that at least 100,000 minors are involved each year in the commercial sex trade alone.
Worldwide, that count goes up to nearly two million. And 80 percent of all human trafficking victims are women and girls. Victims include people brought into our country legally or illegally. It also includes U.S. citizens.
So what can you do?First, be aware of some of the signs of hu-
man trafficking. For instance, it’s a red flag if an individual you know:
• Is not free to come and go as he/she wishes;
• Has few or no personal possessions;• Is not in control of his/her own money;

• Lacks knowledge of his/her whereabouts and/or does not know what city he/she is in; or
• Has numerous inconsistencies in his/her story.
Second, if you suspect that someone is a victim of human trafficking, give them the number for the National Human Trafficking Hotline: 1-888-373-7888. Young people between the ages of 12 – 17 can go to the nearest Metro bus driver and request a SafePlace. This will trigger a call to a youth services provider who can step in to help.
Third, get involved. We have a number of agencies that fight human trafficking and/or work with victims right here in the Puget Sound area:

month at the Kent Senior Activity Center. • Seattle Against Slavery - www.seattleagainst-

Did you know? 50 percent of children have not
seen a dentist by age 4.
BY DEAN A. RADFORD
She seemed like such a nice lady with a sad story – her uncle was seriously hurt in a car accident in Yakima.
The uncle was given three diamonds by the person who ran into him; now the woman was looking for somewhere to sell them to use the money to help her uncle.
A 33-year-old Renton woman, who was shopping in the toy department at Walmart with her 5-year-old daughter, didn’t know where in Renton the woman could sell the diamonds. But she was sympathetic; the woman with the diamonds seemed so distraught.
Just then, a man who looked nice walked by. The woman asked him for help. He agreed. He told them he works at the car dealership next door and he knows where she could get cash for the diamonds.
The two women and the child waited on a bench outside the store while he got one of the diamonds appraised. He returned with news she could get $15,000 to $18,000 for the diamond.
He returned about five minutes later with a blue bag full of what appeared to be $100 bills.
The woman went to the restroom to count the cash; she declined the victim’s help to count it.
But the “thousands of dollars” still weren’t enough. Now, the suspect pressed the victim about buying the other two diamonds. $1,000 was too much, $500 was too much. She didn’t have any money.
But she did have an account at Bank of America with $75 in it.
She walked to her car, followed by the two suspects. They continued to ask for any money she had, telling her they would take her daughter if she didn’t give them something.
Now everyone was in the victim’s car. The man asked the victim about her debit and credit cards. She told them about the $75, but he knew the cash machine would let her take out $300.
She paid them the $300 ransom.The victim drove the suspects back to Walmart, where
they stole her cell phone and a ring that was given her by her mother.
Don’t call anyone for 15 minutes, the female suspect told her. The suspect threw one of the “diamonds” at her; the clear stone was placed into evidence.
The “nice” man didn’t work at the car dealership next door.
The victim told her husband what happened, then drove to the bank to report what happened. She hadn’t thought to call police until the bank asked her for a case number.
Based on the victim’s statements, police determined the two suspects intentionally abducted the mother and her child and held them for a reward.
“I would characterize it as a scam that then turned into a robbery/kidnapping,” said Terri Vickers, a spokeswoman for the Renton Police Department.
A detective is investigating the case.Vickers encourages that anyone faced with a similar
situation call 911 if possible and contact store personnel. If that’s not possible, they should call 911 as soon as possible, she said.
Fake diamond scam at Walmart leads to kidnap, robbery of Renton woman
Safeway. The second man ran toward the Renton Transit Center.
A search failed to find either man.The first suspect is described as a black male, 17 to 19
years old, 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-8, slim build, black hair with dreadlocks tied in a pony tail. He was wearing a black hoodie, jeans and was carrying a backpack.
The second suspect is described as a black male, 17 to 19 years old, 5-foot-9, slim and short black hair with a “faded” haircut. He was wearing a red baseball hat, white tank top and jeans.
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call the Renton Police Department at 425-430-7500 and refer-ence case number 14-8562.

Woman hit by car while in crosswalk on Northeast Fourth
A woman was injured Monday afternoon after being hit by a car while she was in a crosswalk on Northeast Fourth Street near Queen Avenue Northeast.
The woman, who is approximately 40, was transport-ed to Harborview Medical Center in critical condition. The woman was in the crosswalk when she was struck.
She was hit at approximately 1:10 p.m. by a truck pulling a boat trailer.
It does not appear that alcohol was a factor in this collision. Traffic on Northeast Fourth Street near Queen Avenue is currently limited to one lane in each direction.
The location is the site of a new crosswalk, installed last year following an accident in which two teens were hit by a car trying to cross Northeast Fourth last year in a similar location.
This collision is being investigation by the Renton Police Traffic Unit. Anyone who observed the collision is asked to call 425-430-7500 reference case 14-8509.

The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.
BY DEAN A. RADFORD
The mother of his 3-year-old daughter was snorting co-caine at home, so he decided to leave with the child. But he didn’t have any clothes for her, nor any money to buy some.
So, the afternoon of July 20 he headed to Walmart on Rainier Avenue, where he stuffed about $100 worth of children’s clothing in his baggy jeans. He left without pay-
ing but was stopped outside by store security officers.
In frisking the suspect, a Renton Police officer felt something in his jeans near his feet.
“Probably more of their stuff,” he answered, when asked what was in his pants.
The officer removed a child’s canvas shoe from each pant leg. He blurted out why he was stealing the clothes but was told not to say any-
thing more because he hadn’t yet been read his rights.As the officer interviewed him, the 25-year-old Seattle
man fidgeted, reached into his pockets, kicked his feet, shook his legs and lifted his feet in and out of his shoes. The officer looked around the bench while interviewing the suspect but didn’t see anything.
The officer determined there was probable cause to ar-rest the man for third-degree theft. City prosecutors would mail the citation to him.
He was free to leave. He took just two steps when the officer spotted where his feet had been a baggy containing a rock-like substance; a field test later showed it was crack cocaine
“Hey, nice rocks you dropped,” the officer said. The
suspect sprinted from the store and drove away in a silver 2011 Hyundai Sonata.
He ran off before the officer could return his Washing-ton ID card, so it was booked into evidence along with 3.8 grams of crack cocaine. The case was forwarded to Renton detectives.
GUNFIRE HITS CAR: A sedan was struck 10 to 15 times by gunfire – flattening three tires July 21, but none of the three people inside was hit.
One of the bullets went through the driver’s-side rear window near where a 7-year-old child was sitting and struck the windshield between the driver and a passenger.
The driver, a 27-year-old Renton woman, pulled into a Chevron station on Southwest Sunset Boulevard at about 2 a.m., but it was closed.
Someone opened fire as the vehicle started to leave; the driver saw five males standing across the street. A police of-ficer heard the gunfire from several blocks away.
The driver called 911 and drove to the Renton Police Department at City Hall. An officer could smell a heavy odor of marijuana inside and saw marijuana leaf residue on the dashboard.
BURGLARY THWARTED: The resident was getting ready to take a shower, when three men knocked on her front door and tried to remove a screen from a front window without success.
They walked to the backyard. When neighbors went
to investigate, one man ran to the Lincoln Town Car that brought them there and two fled on foot.
The resident learned of the burglary attempt from the neighbor. She doesn’t believe her home was entered.
BOYFRIENDS FIGHT: Two boyfriends hit each other and one bit the other July 20 after one of them became belligerent with a fast-food worker in the drive-through.
The 24-year-old man was drunk, so his boyfriend was driving; they decided to stop for food at about 1 a.m.
The 29-year-old driver tried to get his boyfriend to calm down after he became belligerent with the employee, without success.
They drove off. They started hitting each other, but both said the other started it.
The boyfriend bit the neck and left arm of the driver, who then pushed him out of the car. He later showed up at his boyfriend’s apartment where officers were dispatched.
Officers determined the 24-year-old was the primary aggressor, so he was arrested for fourth-degree assault, do-mestic violence, and booked into the SCORE regional jail
PEDESTRIANS PEPPER SPRAYED: A 23-year-old Renton man was arrested July 19 after reports he was spraying people with pepper spray on South Third Street.
Two victims were hit in the face with the chemical, including one who was treated with eye wash.
He leaves clothes, cocaine

Summer travel means you can glean gardening tips from all over the world. This summer we led a tour that included a river cruise on the Danube.
If you are lucky enough to sail the Danube River
and visit gardens along the way, well then you are lucky enough. First adjust to the fact that the Danube is not really blue, but we think of it that way because of the
still famous melody named the Blue Danube Waltz. The green river water flows past some beautiful countryside and the climate in Ger-many, Austria and Bulgaria along the Danube River is similar to our own, so these take home ideas are practi-cal as well as pretty:
Ivy Geraniums are practical flowers to use in a window box.
There is a reason that ivy geraniums spill from the window boxes of Bavaria. First, they repel flies so you can leave your windows open without inviting flying insects inside. Second, ivy geraniums bloom better when their roots are crowd-ed into a shallow container like a window box. Just
remember to fertilize, water and deadhead all summer for months of bright Bavar-ian style blooms.
Tilia trees will perfume your garden:
We may call this the Linden tree in America, but all over Europe the little-leaf Linden or Tilia cordata is successfully used as a fragrant street tree blooming in late spring and early summer. Very toler-ant of city pollution with well-behaved roots, the Tilia tree would be a good choice as a patio tree and can even be sheared into a hedge. Different varieties of Tilia are available in dwarf or columnar forms but all have a silver color on the undersides of the leaves, butter yellow fall foliage color and a symmetrical branching pattern. There is even a Tilia tree that is na-tive to North America. This tree deserves more use in American gardens.
Cleome is the hottest new plant for beds and planters
This annual flower is also
called the spider flower because the fluffy pink, purple or white blooms explode with spider-like petals. The new more com-pact cleome varieties make this summer bloomer a low maintenance “thriller” plant that does not need staking, yet blooms taller than your more traditional geraniums and petunias.
We saw cleome grouped in the center of island beds, used as focal point flower in container gardens and even as tall edging flowers to cre-ate a hedge along walkways and sidewalks. In dry soil and warm areas this annual can reseed to a fault but the newest varieties are hybrids from Proven Winners and are not only more compact
but also better-behaved. Look for cleome “Senorita Rosalita” and the “Spirit Series” of cleome at local nurseries that sell the Proven Winners brand of annual plants.
Mirabel Gardens in Sal-zburg will make you break out into song
Blame the gardens and not Julie Andrews for inspiring our garden tour group to line up on the same steps of this castle garden where Maria and the children sang “Doe a Deer” in the Sound of Music movie. Suddenly we were belting out the Do-Re- Me tune while posing for a group photo, surrounded by the beautiful Baroque style Mirabel Gardens. Our unrehearsed performance must have sounded pretty good as we did get a few hand claps from a confused Japanese tourist – proving once again that music and gardens are the universal language of friendship.

Renton School District officials are cleaning up this week following a small fire Monday night at Kennydale Elementary School.
According to Deputy Chief Erik Wall-gren, Renton firefighters received an auto-matic fire alarm at around midnight and arrived on the scene to find smoke and fire in a second-floor classroom.
The fire was confined to a single class-room, thanks to sprinkler systems installed in the school, according to Wallgren. In total, firefighters were at the school for about an hour.
“The detection systems worked the way they were designed to work … so that helped limit the damage to the building,” Wallgren said.
Wallgren said a fish tank filter is believed to be where the fire originated. He esti-mated about $80,000 in smoke and water
damage.Summer school at Kennydale was back
in session Tuesday. According to District Spokesman Randy Matheson, there are enough classrooms available at the school to continue offering summer school to the approximately 100 students from Kenny-dale and Maplewood Heights Elementary schools presently taking classes.
Clean-up crews are on site and the school will be ready to open when classes begin throughout the district on Sept. 2.

Some Rentonites may not know that the city has its very own Brit-ish pub, situated in the Renton Highlands. It’s called the Pickled Onion and it saw a lot of activity this World Cup season.
“I actually remember when this whole area here was an apple orchard,” said Sean Erskine, the pub’s owner, of what is now Sunset Plaza. “And then when they origi-nally built the strip mall part that’s now the Pickled Onion, it was the Galaxy 2 Arcade, where I dropped a lot of quarters as a kid.”
Erskine grew up in Renton at-tending Honey Dew Elementary, McKnight Middle School and eventually Hazen High School. His claim to England is his mother, who is from Deptford, London. She came over to the U.S. to marry his father.
Erskine spent a year running a pub called the Station Hotel in South Nutfield, England, where he got the idea to open his own pub. He got the idea for the name - the Pickled Onion - back in high school.
“I ended up in this really small village and it was a blast, it was
great,” he said. Erskine talks of these two cus-
tomers, one a prominent business-man and the other a farmer, who were best friends and spoke over pints every day after work.
The Station Hotel was built in the 1400’s and used mostly by travelers on their way to London.
“He would come in from work in a suit and tie and the farmer would come in with Welly boots, muddy,” said Erskine. “They’d buy each other a couple drinks, talk about their day and go home. And I thought that was so cool because
they went in such different direc-tions financially, but they still were best friends.”
It still gives Erskine goosebumps to talk about it now, he said.
“And I thought that’s what I want,” he said. “I want that the people aren’t economically equal, but feel comfortable enough to chat.”
And for 10-and-a-half years that’s exactly what he’s had: the Pickled Onion, a neighborhood pub that serves up bangers, mash and cot-tage pie as well as American food. There are some British beers on tap,
but mostly craft American beers styled after British brews, Erskine said.
Attendance at the Pickled Onion during this year’s World Cup was “awesome” he said, adding “espe-cially for the U.S. games because I remember four years ago not a lot of people were into it.”
Erskine had to pull in all his staff to serve on the big U.S. game days this year. He wouldn’t call his pub a soccer pub as much as a sports bar, where he does host Sounders and European Premier League matches on TV, but the Seahawks trump all other viewing once they are in season.
“We’re really proud of the fact that we cleaned out all of the drug dealers and all the knuckleheads,” he said. “And a lot of people come here specifically because they know they’re not going to get hassled.
“It’s friendly,” he said, harken-ing back to the English farmer and businessman. “A lot of the friend-ships you see here today were formed because people met here.”

It’s something that any-one who owns a security guard agency in Washing-ton has probably consid-ered, said Debie Batterson, CEO of King County Security Guards, LLC.
Providing security services to those in the marijuana business for their operations seems like the logical next step for some after the drug became legal in this state.
“It’s not that I agree with marijuana coming into our state,” she said. “I think it’s ludicrous, but they deserve
to be safe if they’re going to do it. And if the state says its ok for them to do it, then we need
to be able to protect them and that’s just not going to happen.”
Batterson and her as-sociates have tried to learn everything they can about the industry by attending conferences in March and April and paying close at-tention to what the federal
government is doing in Washington and Colorado.
“The rules were very ambiguous in the beginning as to where we would fit in it,” she said. “And it’s still kind of that way, the federal government hasn’t com-pletely signed-off on it, but we understand that there might be an opportunity.”
That opportunity she sees is a potentially very profit-able one. Colorado got some sort of a dispensation to have armed guards inside their facilities, she said.
“Of course, I’m a business owner,” said Batterson. “We’re always looking at
where’s the next thing down the road we can add to what we’re doing. And in security there’s always something there. There’s always that next step and I believe that this could take my business to another level.”
King County Security Guards is considering hir-ing more former military personnel, with experience in convoy/decoy opera-tions. Being involved with the transportation of large sums of money is probably the only way they can be in-volved at this point, without risking breaking the law.
Right now, employees of
the marijuana business have to be the ones trained and there can be no weapons of any kind on the premises.
“It’s a crying shame that the state of Washington doesn’t want to protect these people and doesn’t want to figure out some way to make this happen for them,” Batterson said. “They’re untrained. They’re going to have weapons inside their facility because they are going to have to. It’s just a bad thing waiting to happen.”
It’s also just a waiting game, right now. Batterson’s company currently sup-

In the race for Position 1, incumbent Tina Orwell, who prefers Democrat, is being challenged by Michael J. Sefkes, who prefers Republican. Both will move on.

[ ELECTION from page 1] teriyaki restaurant. He was instructed to stop but he continued to walk toward an officer, who drew a Taser gun and held it at low ready. The suspect dropped a windbreaker and beanie and got on the ground, where he was handcuffed.
He was booked into SCORE regional jail for investigation of fourth-degree assault. He’s known to Renton officers.
FOOT RUN OVER: The foot of a Goodwill store security officer was run over July 14 when he tried to pull a fleeing shoplifter from a getaway vehicle.
The security officer watched as the two suspects in their 20s indiscriminately grabbed men’s and women’s clothing and shoes and put them in a shopping cart. One had a duffle bag slung across his front.
One of the suspects loaded the clothing into two duffle bags and ran from the store, with the security officer in pursuit.
The security officer grabbed him just was he was getting into the rear passenger door. The suspect yelled, “drive off, drive off.” The security officer’s right foot was run over as the car accelerated away.
Officers were able to trace the 2001 Lexus through its license plate to a Carnation address. However, police have had contact with the owner before, who lives in Renton. A book-ing photo appears similar to the driver.
Neither of the driver nor the Lexus were located at the Renton address.
The stolen items were worth about $200.

Breakathon raises $11,000 for schools
The Renton Breakathon raised more than $11,000 for Communities in Schools of Renton at IKEA Renton River Days last weekend.
Martial artists from Kim’s Tae Kwon Do, Ms. Mari’s Martial Arts Club, Chuan Tao Kung Fu and Lee’s Martial Arts Renton/Maple Valley have raised more than $68,000 for the organization.
For the sixth year in a row, martial artists in brightly colored shirts marched to Liberty Park and broke boards at the Renton River Days Festival. This is the schools’ biggest fundraiser and all the money helps keep Renton youth in school.
This year, more than 100 students marched together in the Renton River Days Parade, and for the second year in a row, made a small detour and marched past the Salvation Army’s booth to drop off their non-perishable food donations for the “Feed the People, not the Ducks” campaign.

The actual school-supply distribution is 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23, at the King County Fire District 20 training facility, 12424 76th Ave S. Seattle (Skyway).

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quan- tity 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 de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

Go Seahawks!Sometimes there are two phases for braces. Why is that?When a child receives a first
phase of braces, called Phase I, usually around 9 to 12 years, the focus is largely on facial growth. It’s also easier at this age to correct incisor spacing, crowding, and irregularities. In Phase I the teeth are used as “handles” to change the size
and position of the facial bones, which is best done during periods of growth “spurts.” Often poor bites can be corrected or more serious impending problems eliminated through early coordination of the facial bones and dental arches.
I have found that younger children are more likely to wear headgear, functional, and habit-correcting appliances than teenagers. Even though younger children don’t have all of their permanent teeth yet, some bone or dental imbalances can be corrected now
and cannot be corrected later in life without requiring extraction of premolars or, in some cases, jaw surgery.
A child who responds well to growth modifica-tion may not need a second comprehensive phase, and if so, the treatment time is cut in half! The need for a second phase can only be determined once all permanent teeth are fully erupted. We know that the decision to get braces is a serious one. After I study your child’s facial growth and dental eruption pattern, and treatment is indicated, we would discuss proper timing and alternatives. A specific plan is then devel-oped to create the best life-long dental health and the most winning smile possible!

2014 SEAHAWKS SPECIAL SECTIONRENTON REPORTER RENTON REPORTER RENTON REPORTER RENTON REPORTER RENTON REPOR RENTON REPORTER RENTON REPORTER RENTON REPORTER RENTON REPORTER RENTON REPOR
BY JOHN BOYLE
Tuesday marked the sixth day since the Seattle Seahawks reported to camp last week, which means Marshawn Lynch’s holdout potentially became a lot more expensive, but the running back continued to stay away from camp.
Per the league’s collec-tive bargaining agreement, the Seahawks can go after 15 percent of the prorated amount of Lynch’s sign-ing bonus after six days, which in this case would be $225,000 on top of the $30,000 per day he can be fined. Seattle can go after an additional one percent of the prorated bonus ($1.5 million) each day Lynch holds until the total amount reaches 25 percent of the prorated bonus. The team is under no obligation, however, to collect on those fines if they decide to work something out with Lynch, assuming he eventually returns.
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll didn’t have much to say on Lynch’s continued holdout, but did say, “We’re not comment-
ing about it. He’s not here, so we can’t comment about a guy who’s not here right now. I love this kid, I hope he’ll figure it out and it’ll all make sense and come to a resolution somewhere, but nothing more than that.”
Earlier in the day, general manager John Schneider also addressed Lynch’s situation during an appear-ance on ESPN, and said he wasn’t getting concerned with the holdout: “You know, no. Everybody loves Beast Mode. We love him and respect the guy. I think what he’s done in this com-munity, for this franchise, is outstanding. It’s one of
those deals where you can never get inside somebody’s head. We’re just going with our plan, and I know it’s cliche-ish, but next man up. We’ve had a plan in place here for a number of years, and we can’t veer from that plan for one person, because it’s the ultimate team sport.”
Seahawks sign WinstonLooking to add to the
competition for the open right tackle job, the Se-ahawks signed veteran Eric Winston Tuesday.
Winston, who is also currently the president of the NFL Players Associa-tion, spent the first six years of his career in Houston before spending a year each in Kansas City and Arizona. Winston has started every game since the 2007 season. His background in zone blocking systems, especially in Houston, should help ease his transition.
“I think some of my best years have been in that zone scheme, obviously with Alex Gibbs, way back in Houston and that whole scheme after that and so I’ve had some of my best years and some of the best teams I’ve played on have
used it,” Winston said. “I think it’s a perfect fit for me and it definitely helps me with the learning process.”
Winston worked primar-ily with the second-string offense on his first day, but should get a chance to compete with rookie Justin Britt for the starting job. Michael Bowie was getting most of the first-team reps before being sidelined by a shoulder injury, so he’ll factor into the mix as well when he returns, which should happen soon, Car-roll said.
While Winston has en-joyed a very distinguished career, he might be best known to Seahawks fans for the play against Seattle last
year when he was flattened by safety Kam Chancellor. Perhaps that is part of the reason that Winston said of the Seahawks, “It will be a lot more fun playing with them than playing against them.
Seahawks on ESPNSeattle’s practice was
aired live on ESPN. A helicopter flew over the practice facility throughout the TV event and cameras were stationed around the practice fields. “They were very open to how we would allow it to happen and we worked together to figure out a way. I don’t know how it came off. ... It didn’t bother us at all,” Carroll said.

AT&T Digital Life and Habitat for Humanity worked together in July to build a house in Renton for families in need of a home. City Council President Don Pers-son was also on hand for the event.
This is the third home build for the collaboration, with future build events planned in Dallas and Los Angeles thanks to a $150,000 donation from Digital Life to Habitat for Humanity.
AT&T volunteers helped with construc-tion on a nine-unit multi-family home at Habitat’s La Fortuna. La Fortuna is located
in Renton’s Benson Heights neighborhood, off Petrovitsky Road in an area zoned for residential multifamily buildings.
The property is vacant land within an area of residential homes built from ap-proximately 1960 to 1970. It will provide 41 very-low-income families with both an affordable home and an affordable mortgage in a new housing development in Renton.
“AT&T Digital Life collaborating with Habitat for Humanity is an opportunity for us to help those who need the security and
peace of mind that owning a home can provide,” Kevin Petersen, senior vice presi-dent of Digital Life, Inc., said in a press release. “We are committed to giving back through home builds across the country and especially in communities like Seattle.”
“We are so proud that Habitat is here,” Persson said in a press release. “Thank you for coming to Renton. Thank you to everyone of you for putting in your time because it is so valuable. It’s really, really, important that we all work together and give back to our community. I want to
offer my own personal thank you, the mayor’s thank you and the city’s thank you.”
Digital Life will work with Habitat for Humanity to strengthen their goals and mission to help bring people together to build homes, communities and hope. Through this collaboration, Digital Life will donate $10,000 toward the construc-tion of a new home in each of the five loca-tions and will recruit more than 100 AT&T volunteers to participate in the builds.
