Work begins on first downtown residential project since 2008BY BRIAN BECKLEY
Ground was finally broken this week on a $10 mil-lion multi-use project in downtown Renton that city officials believe could be part of a rebirth to the area.
Work at the Lofts at Second and Main, a multi-use project that will add both residential and commercial space to the downtown core, began this week with a scheduled completion date of December 2016. It is the first new residential development downtown since 2008.
When completed, the project will add 101 one- two- and three-bedroom apartments totaling more than 91,000-square-feet of residential space and an additional 4,000 of commercial space at street level.
The six-story building will also include an under-ground parking garage for residents.
The project is being developed by the Cosmos Development Co.. The project architect is Jackson Main Architecture.
Mayor Denis Law this week called the project “critical” to the revitalization of downtown because Community leaders and members of the development team throw the first shovels
of dirt as part of the Lofts at Second and Main project. COURTESY RENTON HISTORY MUSEUM [ more LOFTS page 12 ]

Hospital Commission race features new facesBY DEAN A. RADFORD
Dr. Terry Block, appointed in January to fill a vacant position on the Public Hospital District No. 1 Board of Com-missioners, will not advance to the general election in November.
Block came in third in the Aug. 18 pri-mary election behind Savannah Clifford-Visker of Renton and Lawton Montgom-ery of Kent, who will now run for the at-large Position 4 on the commission in the Nov. 3 election.
In the primary race for Renton City Council Position 4, Ryan McIrvin re-ceived 61 percent of the vote to Monique Taylor-Swan’s 33 percent, as of Tuesday, the latest results available before the Renton Reporter’s print deadline.
Charles D. Seil, who had withdrawn from the race before the election, re-ceived 5 percent of the vote.
The council incumbent, Greg Taylor, had decided not to seek re-election.
The percentages had changed little in the hospital commission race since the initial election night tally.

This week at camp, wide receiver Ricardo Lockette helped put a young man through the paces as part of the NFL’s Play 60 campaign that encourages kids to be active for at least 60 minutes a day.

N Arts Unlimited cancels this summer’s Art Walk
BY TRACEY COMPTON
Renton’s annual Art and Antique Walk has been cancelled this year to make way for an even bigger Arts and Antique Street Fair next year.
Organizer Arts Unlimited made the announcement on their website recently.
It became a matter of logistics this year and organizers ran out of time to get the necessary permit-ting, said Paul Hebron, president of Arts Unlimited.
“Our goal for 2015 was to block off 3rd street from Burnett to Main and create a street-fair, which re-quired additional permits from the City of Renton,” said Hebron. “We didn’t secure the permits in a timely manner, thus our board of directors decided to postpone the street-fair until 2016.”
The idea to expand the walk to a street fair came last year after a number of artists expressed con-cern about being situated in front of vacant businesses downtown.
Originally designed to be an arts and antique walk through down-town, the vacant storefronts created by Renton Western Wear and the American Drapery business, for example, created gaps in the
programming for the event, said Hebron.
In addition to plans to expand next year, Arts Unlimited has hosted a bunch of new events this year including once a month art walks, sketch nights and the Erup-tions of Art.
“A lot of the programming that we’re doing is new for us,” said Hebron. “We just felt like we
needed the time to do the street fair correctly.”
Attendance at some of the small-er arts events has been good, except for July, which Hebron attributes to people taking vacations.
The Eruption of Art event, for example, has featured 14 to 20 artists and live music at Luther’s Table and Liberty Cafe. All centered on “First Fridays,” the events are
a take-off of entertainment events hosted Liberty Cafe and Ancient’s Arts Tattoo.
“We’re talked to a lot of the busi-ness owners and they said that foot traffic has increased those nights,” said Hebron.

Though the city insists its water supply is not in any danger of drying up, they are joining the efforts of surrounding municipalities and asking residents to voluntarily cut water usage by 10 percent.
The move to a voluntary conservation stage was announced Tuesday.
Renton supplements its aquifer-based water sources with additional supply from Seattle Public Utilities, which announced its conserva-tion plan earlier this summer. Because the water supply issues affects the entire regional system, SPU has asked all of its partners to do their part to conserve water.
The move is bought on by the driest May and June on record and the potential for a drier-
than-usual fall season. Beginning conservation efforts now should ensure plenty of supply later.
According to information provided by SPU, a 10 percent reduction in water use through-out the system would equate to about 15 to 20 million gallons per day, given current water use rates
The city is offering the following tips on how to reduce your water usage:
Outdoor Tips:• Let your lawn go dormant and limit plant
watering to twice a week;• Water plants before 8 a.m. (best) or after 7
p.m.;• Wash your vehicle(s) at locations that recycle
the water;• Do only essential pressure washing;• Minimize refilling swimming pools and hot
tubs;• Turn off water features; and • Remember, fall is the best time for planting.Indoor Tips:• Reduce your showering time;• Check for and fix leaks;• Wash only full loads of laundry and dishes;• Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth or
shaving;• Don’t pre-rinse dishes; and• If purchasing fixtures/equipment, choose
water-efficient models.For more information or tips for businesses,

Fireworks bans helps Renton weather July 4 in good shapeBY BRIAN BECKLEY
Renton’s ban on fireworks and the city’s education strategy and marketing push was very successful this year in limiting the fire damage caused by fireworks in the city.
According to a report before City Council from Fire Chief Mark Peterson, the fire department was very busy on the holiday, but there were zero fire losses this year, unlike surrounding areas where a fireworks ban is not in place.
Mayor Denis Law agreed that Renton fared “very very well,” adding that he spent time in the dispatch center on July 4, which was very busy responding to the sur-rounding towns.
“There were fires all over the place,” Law said of Kent and Skyway in particular. “We were very fortunate.”
In Renton, the department responded to 141 calls on July 4, well above a typical Saturday’s 40-60 calls. Of those, 100 were fireworks complaints. Peterson said about 50 pounds of fireworks were confiscated and 12 citations totaling $2,460 in fines were written.
The Renton fireworks ban has been in place since 2005 and officials were par-ticularly worried this year because of drought conditions that left the entire area tinder-dry.
Because of the potential for disaster, the city began reminding residents of the ban and the dangers early, utilizing message boards and public works sings and printing out 2,500 posters and pamphlets, as well as getting the message out through all of the city’s social media platforms.
Peterson said the key this year was heavy community involvement, due primarily to concerns about the dry conditions. The chief said the public became “marshals on this,” taking the message to their communities at such a rate the department had to print additional posters.
The department also this year implemented a new strategy to respond to fireworks calls, placing three enforcement teams in the parts of the city that last year received the highest fireworks call volume. This year, however, Peterson said the vast major-ity of calls came from the Highlands so by the end of the evening, all of the response teams were shifted up the hill.
Though the July 4 holiday did not include fireworks-related fires, Peterson said the city did not come through completely unscathed. During the period of June 21 through July 7, there were eight fireworks-related brush fires, a Dumpster fire and two structure fires involving a fence and siding on an apartment building that totaled $53,000 in damage.

Given the big amounts that the Return to Renton Car Show has donated to the Renton Police De-partment over the past few years, event co-chair Jim Medzegian this week showed up to the City Council toting a big check.
But not only was the prop large, the donation was too, with this year’s show pulling in $13,000 to benefit the department’s youth programs.
“I’m not sure how I’m going to get that in the ATM, but…” Police Chief Kevin Milosevich joked, thanking the group for all they have done.
This year marked the
25th anniversary of the annual downtown car show and brought the total donated to more than $225,000.
Milosevich said last year, the money donated by the car show helped the department offer a $100 sneaker voucher to all male and female varsity basketball players at Rent-on’s three high schools.
According to Medze-gian, this year’s show was another financial success, despite falling a bit short of expectations in the number of cars participat-ing, something Medzegian said was probably due to a some showers that moved through in the morning, scaring off some collec-tors, who opted to keep their classic vehicles under cover.
But despite the morn-ing rain, 325 cars and an estimated 4,000 spectators packed the downtown core on July 12.
“We felt it was a good show,” Medzegian said.
According to statistics from Medzegian, this year’s show drew 43 per-cent of participants from Renton, 16 percent from Kent and Auburn and 11 percent from farther away. Ten percent of participants also came from Tacoma, 10 percent from Bel-levue and 10 percent from Seattle.
This year’s event had more than 60 sponsors and handed out 40 trophies.
Next year’s Return to Renton car show is already scheduled for July 10, 2016, but Medzegian announced that after 10 years as chair, he and his wife will be stepping down from the leadership team.

Renton is getting its very own Cheers Bar and Grill, but don’t expect everyone there to know your name just quite yet.
The southend chain, with loca-tions in Tacoma, Lacey, Puyallup, Lakewood and University Place, is expanding north, with its first location at the former downtown site of A Terrible Beauty.
Although it is a sports bar and restaurant with billiards, the bar concept is not based on the popular 1980s TV series, said Owner Ali Kashi. He’s been in the restaurant business for 30 years and opened the first Cheers in 2009 in Puyallup.
Kashi is originally from Iran. He left his home country when he was 19 and got into the restaurant business because he found it chal-lenging.
He has a goal of expanding his chain to 10 locations and Renton, which opens on Sept. 1, makes number six.
Kashi chose Renton “because Renton is a fast-growing city with a lot of population and I thought this was a really good location,” he said.
Cheers will have 20 flat-screened TVs and an upstairs restaurant area for families. Downstairs is the lounge.
Kashi is a huge football, Ulti-mate Fighting Championship and boxing fan. He plans to show all
football, UFC and boxing matches and have Cheers Renton be an all-around sports bar.
Judging by the website, the Cheers menu is pretty extensive, with offerings beyond just bar food. There is a diverse mix of
American comfort food, salads, wraps, sand-wiches and burgers.
“During the football season we’ll open at 9 a.m.; we’ll be serving breakfast,” said Kashi.
The Renton location has been completely gutted to make way for brand new modern interiors. A private room has been constructed for patrons to reserve free of charge for banquets, meet-ings and private parties. There may be karaoke in the future, but live music events is not what Cheers is all about, said Kashi.
He plans to have a staff of about 25 workers and as of late July, he was still hiring.
When open, Cheers’ hours will be 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. everyday. To check out the sports bar online, visit http://www.cheersdowntown.com/.

Water – how much we have and how clean it should be – is on the minds of many these days as the drought rolls on in western Washington and state government remains stalled on updat-ing decades-old, water- quality standards.
Tribal insistence on more restrictive salmon fisheries this year has turned out to be the right call as the hottest and driest summer we’ve ever seen continues, threatening salmon throughout western Washington at every stage of their life cycle.
With no snowpack, record warm weather and little rain, our rivers and streams are running low, slow and hot. That’s bad news for both
hatchery and wild salmon, which depend on plenty of cool water for their survival.
Many returning adult salmon died last year before they could reach spawning grounds or a hatchery, while thousands of out-migrating young salmon died before
they could reach the ocean. The deaths of those salmon will be felt by all fishermen several years from now when fewer fish return.
Water temperatures 70 degrees and higher can be lethal to salmon. Many streams already have reached those temperatures with a lot of sum-mer left. Warm water can also create a thermal barrier that prevents salmon from reaching hatcheries and spawning grounds. In addition, salmon are more susceptible to diseases when water temperatures are high.
Salmon are getting some relief from tribal and state hatcheries that use cooler groundwater for incubating and rearing fish. These hatcheries are providing sanctuaries to help salmon survive the
drought and fulfilling their role as gene banks to preserve salmon for the future.
The outlook for many tribal fisheries is grow-ing steadily darker as week after week slips by with no improvement in weather conditions. We hope enough salmon will return to our fishing grounds so that we can feed our families and preserve our cultures and communities.
It wasn’t easy for the tribes to convince the state co-managers that tougher fishing regula-tions were needed this year to protect salmon. In fact, the Puget Sound sport-fishing industry was prodding the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife to expand fisheries this summer. But salmon management is not a popularity contest and the effects of our drought are getting worse.
The treaty tribes in western Washington will continue to insist on the highest level of responsible fisheries management and hatchery operations to ensure all of our children have a future that includes salmon.
On the water-quality front, the state Legisla-ture adjourned a triple overtime session in June without approving Gov. Jay Inslee’s proposal for new water quality standards as part of a state-wide toxics reduction program.
State water-quality standards already are more than 40 years old. The state admits that current standards don’t adequately protect any of us, especially those of us who eat a lot of fish and shellfish. The state has missed every deadline to update the standards as required by the federal Clean Water Act.
Inslee’s toxics reduction program is a good idea. It’s a lot easier and cheaper to prevent
Sometimes it is hard to believe it’s been this long – and other times it’s hard to believe it’s ONLY been this long – but July marked my second full year as editor of the Renton Reporter.
And all in all, I’m pretty pleased with how it went. My fellow Renton Reporter readers, the state of our paper is strong.
Since I checked in last year around this time, the Reporter received a second-place General Excellence award from the Wash-ington Newspaper Publisher’s Association. That means only one other paper in our circulation class (the largest) was considered a better overall paper than the one you are reading right now.
As editor, I was even more proud to read what the judges had to say. They cited the Renton Reporter’s use of photos and graphics and noted our “strong local coverage” and the way the editorial page dealt with “hot issues.”
We in the newsroom strive every week to bring you the best, most complete look at the week’s news, features and information – and we try to do it with some style through pho-
tos and graphics – and it was nice to be recognized for our efforts by our fel-low newspaper people.
In addition to the General Excellence award, I also received a first-place award for “Best General Feature Story, Long” for
my “Firefighter for a Day” piece, a first-person account of a day’s worth of firefighter training and a second-place award in the “Best Government Reporting” category for a story about residents at the Riverbend Mobile Home Park, which was purchased by the county. Judges cited the follow-through to get the personal stories of those affected.
Again, I was proud of that one and proud the judges noticed we try to go the extra mile to get to how these stories affect our residents and readers, instead of just giving a quick-hit headline.
This past year also found the Renton Reporter in the middle of some important discussions around our city.
Over the course of three weeks in January, we put together a series titled “Can Ferguson Happen Here?” Written and reported by reporter Tracey Compton, we went to the police, the administration and community leaders and simply asked the question.
What we found through our reporting was that while there are some definite concerns in the community about policing in general and the relationships between the police and the citizens, Renton is actively trying to ensure that events like those do not happen here through a change in use-of-force tactics, as well as a general mindset.
That became evident when following the completion of our series and the publica-tion of a column wrapping it all up that questioned some comments made by the

then-police guild president, Chief Kevin Milosevich responded with a column of his own condemning the guild president’s comments, which we and many others saw as insensitive.
I’m not going to lie, when the city asked for space to respond to the editorial, the column we got was NOT what I was ex-pecting (for the record, we’d have published the column even if it took us to task) and was a nice surprise.
Our series was also cited by the mayor in his State of the City this year and helped spur a Teen Summit that brought together community religious leaders, teenagers and police for an honest discussion of race and the use of force by police.
It was a great day and we were proud to have been a part of it.
Two years ago when I first took over as editor, I said I hoped to “re-boot” the paper and like last year, while I feel that we have had some success, we are still working every week to improve this paper to make it a better experience for you, the reader.
After all, this is your paper, telling your story. We are just the stewards of it.
With that in mind, we launched a series of new features and ideas. Some caught on, others did not.
Last year we added garden columnist Marianne Binetti to the paper and it’s been a welcome addition. I, for one, find some-thing in her column each week that I apply to my own garden or yard.
We also saw the return of columnist Carolyn Ossorio and her new “Hot from the Oven!” column, which is showing us some of the tastier spots in the city and of-fering great recipes and advice.
Our Ask A Doctor column also contin-ues to grow, bringing important informa-tion about top medical issues, from protect-ing against the flu to Seasonal Affected Disorder and postpartum depression, as well as the importance of staying hydrated and this week’s column on the dangers of concussions, vitally important information as the fall sports season gets ready to start.
But we are not resting on our laurels. We believe we can be better.
One of the things we’re starting this month, for example, are new regular inter-nal sections.
We began last week with “Entertain-ment,” which will be published on the first Friday of every month. We’re hoping to give you a look at some of the fun that can be had around Renton in the upcoming month.
This week, you see the first of our monthly “Business” sections where we hope to highlight the businesses and issues affecting our business community, as well
as tell you a bit about some of the new busi-nesses opening in the city.
Next week, we launch our “Seniors” section, a readership that sometimes gets overlooked but will now be highlighted each month with its own section front.
We also have some ideas for a few new features we hope you will help out with. The ideas are “Hidden Renton” and “Ask the Reporter.”
With the first, we are looking to discover (or re-discover) some of the unique places, people and shops that make Renton what it is. We’d love to hear your suggestions: What is your favorite little spot in the city and why do people need to know about it?
Similarly, we find that we often get phone calls or emails with questions about things going or around Renton, things that may not be news stories, but are still interesting. We know there are some things our readers wonder about in the city but do not have time to research themselves. Please, send us your question. We’ll look into it and publish the answer for you.
We are also hoping to continue the “hot issues” that were cited on our edito-rial pages and we would like to encourage you to write in with concerns, opinions or whatever else is on your mind. We love it when the editorial page becomes a place for discussion and we’d like to see more of that.
This year, for example, is an election year and we would like to encourage readers to write in and tell us who they support and why. We will, of course, be doing our own election coverage, but we still want to hear from you.
We will run letters endorsing candidates; however, we ask that you not use the letters page to attack another candidate. We will be accepting letters on issues and candi-dates up through the week before the elec-tion; however any letters that come in dur-ing the final week that require a response from a candidate will not be run.
And as always, we want to hear from you, the readers. Do not hesitate to phone or email or even stop on by the office. My door is always open and I love hearing from readers, even ones who may disagree or want to complain.
After all, as I have said, it is your paper.We have also increased our Facebook
footprint in the past year, so please con-tinue to connect with us there as well.
So thanks for everything this past year Renton. We look forward to what the future brings and look forward to being a part of that future.
So here’s to Renton! Once more around the sun, Jeeves!

poisons from ever getting into our waters than to clean them up afterwards. But to be effective, such a program must first be based in a strong rule of law that will drive the compliance and innovation needed to meet those standards.
The governor was expected to propose a new set of water-quality standards in early August. If not, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will step in to help.
It is important to remember that all natu-ral resources are connected. Water quantity and quality are two sides of the same coin. Both are fundamental to the health of people and salmon.
Protecting and restoring salmon habitat improves the overall health of our wa-tersheds, making them more resistant to drought and able to bounce back more quickly from its effects.
To truly protect our water quality and quantity – and to protect and restore the salmon resource – we must continue to work together to restore salmon habitat. At the same time, we should develop strong rules that can support a statewide toxics reduction program with realistic, truly protective water quality standards that are implemented over time.
Lorraine Loomis, author of this “Being Frank” column, is chairwoman of the North-west Indian Fisheries Commission.

Flowers belong at weddings and there is a beautiful trend toward outdoor receptions and weddings. Our youngest daughter was married last month and we used hydrangeas from my garden and the gardens of many friends and
family to add to the joy of the celebration.
In honor of summer brides everywhere, here are a few tips on using fresh flowers in a wedding.
1. Once you know the date of the wed-ding, talk to a local gardener about what
flowers will be in season. Of course you can ship in roses for a winter wedding and even find tulips for a wedding in the early sum-mer but you’ll pay three times the price when you import blooms from the other side of the world.
2. Choose flowers grown by local growers when possible. In Western Washington we are lucky to have farmer’s markets in many com-munities where local growers will sell direct to the public.
Some of the flower growers have farms in Eastern Washington but make the trek over the Cascades every weekend to peddle their petals direct to the consumer. Local florists that specialize in wedding flowers will often buy from local growers when the bride chooses flowers in season.
3. If the bride has her heart set on a certain flower (our daughter really wanted peonies – that were out of season in July) you can go on the internet and find a grower from Alaska or Hawaii and splurge on these flowers for just her bouquet or as an accent flower amidst the less expensive blooms that are in season.
Alaska has become a hot spot for wedding peonies as the long hours of daylight and cool summer weather makes the peony crop avail-able almost all summer. Hawaii grows orchids year round and both states have family farms that will ship directly to private homes using ice packs and overnight express.
4. Meet with a florist about what type of flowers hold best in hot and sunny weather. Local florists can suggest flowers that resists wilting and they also have access to special sprays that keep petals from wilting and dry-ing out.
Don’t overlook the common mum. Chry-santhemums are not only available all year
long but they hold up in heat
and also cold weather, they come in a multi-tude of colors, shapes and flower forms and can cost half the price of imported roses or orchids.
5. Don’t depend on growing your own flow-ers. Timing is everything and weather condi-tions are unpredictable. Just because your pink lilies were in bloom last summer during the month of June does not mean they will flower at the same time next year. Ditto that your hydrangeas may not be the same color from one year to the next.
6. Use potted plants when possible. Lining the bride’s walk down the aisle with pots of cyclamens, mums or hydrangeas can be less expensive and more practical than using cut flowers. Plus you can add the potted plants to your garden or give them away to guests when the event is over.
7. Fabulous foliage can add a lush look. Baskets of ferns made from sword fern fronds, huge leaves from hosta and colorful foliage from heucheras are becoming more popular in wedding bouquets as brides seek to add an original twist to the wedding flowers.
Succulents are also being used as cut flower alternatives in arrangements or as potted plants on tables. The more leaves, berries and spiky grasses you add to the mix the less flow-ers you will need to buy and the more resilient the display will be.
8. Visit Pinterest and become inspired. The Pinterest website is like a bulletin board where you can post your favorite photos of any creative idea and also grab images from other creative people and try something new.
Pinterest inspired us to create a “flower wall” using hydrangeas that filled a gold picture frame and also a centerpiece that can only be described as a ‘hydrangea waterfall’ that flowed off the table an onto the floor at the reception site. Pinterest is not just about pretty photos – often you can visit a site with just one click that will share more details and how-to information about the project you see posted on the site.
9. Share the joy by sharing the flowers. After a wedding or large celebration the flower centerpieces can be sent home with guests to enjoy, brought to a church or my personal favorite delivered to a nursing home and given away to house bound residents. When properly cared for cut flowers centerpieces will last for a week to ten days. After that the faded blooms can be recycled into a compost pile.
10. Remember to take a deep breath, inhale the fragrance of flowers and enjoy the day. Flowers are nature’s reminder that the world is a beautiful place and life should be enjoyed – so celebrate.
A concussion is a type of brain in-jury that can occur when the head hits an object or a moving object strikes the head. Sports-related concussions are a major public health concern, it is esti-mated that 1.6 to 3.8 million injuries occur each year in the United States.
A concussion can cause a multitude of symptoms which include:
• Cognitive changes: Poor concentration, slow thinking, memory loss, confusion, loss
of consciousness, dazed appearance;• Physical changes: Headache, nau-
sea or vomiting, sensitivity to light or sound, dizziness, slurred speech, blurry vision, changes to balance or coordina-tion;
• Mood changes: Depression, anxiety, personality changes, trouble controlling emotions; and
• Sleep changes: Drowsiness, insom-nia, feeling hazy or groggy, frequent awakenings.
The symptoms often begin right after injury, but sometimes may not appear until the person starts exercising again. Often, children experience concussion symptoms for much longer compared to adults. Concussions can also occur when the head experiences a sudden impact without being hit directly such as a blow to the neck or upper body.
Are there sports that put my child at a higher risk of concussion?
Concussions can occur in many sports, but are most common in high speed contact sports. Football, rugby, hockey and soccer pose the greatest risk. Studies have shown that concus-sion risk is greater in females than in males playing soccer or basketball.
There is not enough evidence to show different risks by gender for other sports. Once someone has experienced a concussion, he or she is at greater risk of having another one.
When can my child return to play?A child can return to play when:• All symptoms have resolved,
especially after medications have been stopped.
• The child has been cleared by a licensed professional trained in manag-ing concussion.
The child should avoid any activities that make symptoms worse or increase the risk of a second concussion. The plan should be individualized, so be sure to discuss this plan with your healthcare professional. There is no set time for recovery. There is also no evidence that complete “brain rest” is necessary. There is new evidence that too much rest can actually cause more symptoms in teenagers.
What should I do if I think my child has had a concussion?
It is important that if a concussion is suspected, the child should be removed from play immediately and be evalu-ated by a licensed healthcare profes-sional. For immediate attention, bring your child to an emergency room or urgent care for an evaluation. If symp-toms persist, it is important to follow-up with your child’s pediatrician or primary care provider. In some cases, you may need to be referred to see a neurologist or sports medicine physi-cian who can provide more specialized care for your child’s concussion.

Over the course of three nights, vandals shattered 19 windows at the Highlands Library that’s under construction with high-powered BBs or pellets
The damage is estimated at about $100,000 and it will take at least a month to reorder the glass and have it shipped and installed.
“The library was originally sched-uled to open the end of October, but with this vandalism we don’t know how much it will be delayed,” said city spokeswoman Preeti Shridhar.
Three large windows were shattered Friday night, followed by 10 windows on Monday and six more on Tuesday night at the library, 2801 N.E. 10th St.
“They are shooting until the win-dows shatter,” Shridhar said.
The Renton Police Department will have extra patrols in the area. Anyone with information about the vandal-ism is asked to call the Renton Police Department at 425-430-7500.
“Help us catch the vandals,” Shrid-har said.

it brings additional residential space to the core, which could mean more people in and about downtown shops and restaurants.
“We are excited that Cosmos has selected downtown Renton for its newest project, which is a vital component of our downtown revitalization plans,” Law said in a press release. “Cosmos has designed a beautiful addition to our community, which will include the first new market-rate residential project developed in our downtown core since the recession.
“The Lofts at Second and Main will not only offer important new housing opportunities and amenities for urban living, but also provide modern commercial space for new busi-nesses to locate downtown,” he said.
Also included in the final project will be a re-alignment of the intersection at Second Street and Main Avenue that will create a more traditional, square-shaped intersection and will include a new pedestrian area in front of the former Afghan Cuisine building that burned earlier this summer. In addition, the city plans to convert Main Avenue from one-way to two-way traffic this fall.
The project has been in the pipeline for several years, gaining approval in late 2014 under the name “Renton Heritage Apartments.”

Clifford-Visker had 39 percent of the vote as of Tuesday, Montgomery had 36 percent of the vote and Block had 25 percent of the vote.
Block was appointed by other commissioners to replace former commissioner Dr. Aaron Heide, who was removed from the board for missing meetings. Heide is now work-ing in Reno, Nev.
Contacted by the Renton Reporter, Block said he had offered his services to the people of the district and “that’s OK” if they didn’t want them. He was told by many people the election was really a commentary on Valley Medical Center CEO Rich Roodman and the strategic alliance between the hospital district and UW Medicine.
Lawton and Clifford-Visker had each expressed disappointment with Roodman’s con-tinued employment and the strategic alliance in the primary election Voters’ Pamphlet.
Block pointed out in the interview that the two candidates weren’t “being completely honest with the voters” because the alliance agreement can’t be revised until 2016 and Roodman has a contract for the next two years.
The vote count is continuing; the election results will be certified on Aug. 18.
[ PRIMARY from page 1] Petrovitsky Park to close through August
Better visibility is coming to sports fields at King County’s Petrovitsky Park in the unincorporated community of Fairwood, nestled between Kent, Renton and Maple Valley, thanks to an LED lighting upgrade that will mean state-of-the-art illumina-tion for field users and less glare for park neighbors.
“By converting to LED lighting, every-one wins,” King County Executive Dow Constantine said in a press release. “This upgrade will bring better visibility for players, less light pollution for neighbors, and cost savings for the public, while help-ing King County meet its goal to be more sustainable.”
“We are excited about bringing this new technology to ‘Petro Park’ because not only will it mean less shine and reflection from the field lights, there will be energy savings from these fixtures,” said King County Council member Reagan Dunn, whose district includes the park.
Located at 16400 Petrovitsky Rd. S.E., Renton, in the Fairwood area of unincor-porated King County, Petrovitsky Park is an 88-acre park with four baseball fields and soccer fields, a playground, and picnic areas.
King County Parks estimates the retrofit will result in a 68 percent reduction in energy use for the lighting system, or about $9,500 in annual savings.
The project will require closure of the sports fields Aug. 17 to 31 as crews install and test the new lights. The fields will be available for “day use only” Aug. 31 through Sept. 4 before returning to its
regular scheduling.The lighting will enhance previous
upgrades at the park, which included the addition of synthetic fields in 2012.
The project involves replacing the older “Musco” lighting to the latest generation LED lights. The retrofit will also reduce the amount of poles by about half.
Wastemobile coming to Renton next weekend
All King County residents can safely dis-pose of old car batteries, oil, paint thinner and many other household hazardous items at no cost when the Wastemobile makes a stop in Renton, Aug. 21-23.
The Wastemobile will be in the parking lot of Fred Meyer, 365 Renton Center Way, Renton, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.
Residents can drop off household haz-ardous waste items including pesticides, oil-based paints, automotive products (oil, antifreeze, lamps, etc.), fluorescent bulbs/tubes and other items without a charge. The service is pre-paid through garbage and sewer utility fees.
Created in 1989, the Wastemobile was the first traveling hazardous waste disposal program in the nation. It is operated by the Local Hazardous Waste Management Program and goes throughout the county from the spring through fall.
Qualifying businesses can also use the no-cost disposal services. Call 206-263-8899 or find details at hazwastehelp.org.
For more information about disposal, including acceptable materials and quantity limits, call the Hazards Line at 206-296-4692, Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., except holidays.

When Stryker Phd takes to the track on Sunday to defend his Lon-gacres Mile title, he’ll have more than just jockey Leslie Mawing on board.
The 6-year-old gelding – owned by Larry and Mona Hour and trained by Larry Ross - will be car-rying the hopes of the Washington-bred Thoroughbred community on his back as he vies to repeat against
a field stocked with gifted invaders.
Last year Stryker Phd turned in a magnificent last-to-first finish in the 79th run-ning of the $200,000 Grade 3 Mile, catching and passing Oregon-bred
Boyett to win by a half-length.In that race, Stryker Phd flirted
with a track record, posting a 1 minute, 33.67 second time, just off the 1:33 set by Sky Jack in 2003.
This year the field is thick with talented competition – 11 from Kentucky, four from California and nine graded stakes winners.
Top among them are: the Bob Baffert-trained Bayern, winner of the 2014 Breeder’s Cup Classic (Grade 1); Sahara Sky, winner of the 2013 Metropolitan Handicap (G1); and Warren’s Veneda, winner of the 2015 Santa Margarita (G1).
For Stryker Phd and Mawing, as talented as the field is, it’s just more horses to chase down.
“He’s got a closing style,” Mawing
said.“His style is he likes when there
are targets in front of him,” he continued. “His heart gets bigger and bigger. That’s just his style; he prefers those targets in front of him. No race is easy. If they were, we’d all be winning every time. But as long as there is a lot of speed, which there should be, there are always going to be frontrunners. And as long as they are there, we’re going to run a good race.”
Stryker Phd comes into the race carrying a six-race winning streak, including a six-length rout in the Mount Rainier Handicap this past month.
But as good as he ran in last year’s Mile, Mawing – who has ridden the horse for Ross since last
season – says he’s even better now.“He’s definitely big, and he’s big-
ger this year,” Mawing said, “It’s just getting on him. He’s very confident and very quirky. It was really just a matter of getting along with him and finding the right rider. You need a little patience with him. If you get impatient, he’ll pull his tricks with you and freeze up and back up. So you have to be a little patient. I guess I was just the right fit with him.”
Mawing continued:“In the mornings I’ll backtrack
him, and he’ll get bored really eas-ily, so if you fight him too much, he’s going to be more of a challenge, should I say. I know how far to push him and when to let up. ‘He’s 1,200 pounds, and I’m 115, so I’m
not going to win that fight when it comes to it. So I just try to go along with it.”
In addition to praise from most track insiders, Stryker Phd has be-come a fan favorite, even boasting his own Facebook page.
But none of that really matters. It all comes down to what hap-
pens on the track, and according to Mawing, Stryker Phd is ready to defend his crown and become the first horse to repeat in the Mile at Emerald Downs.
“I like our chances,” he said. “I’m 150-percent confident in myself and his ability.”
The 80th running of the $200,000 (G3) Longacres Mile is this Sunday at Emerald Downs in Auburn.

Stryker Phd and jockey Leslie Mawing close from last place to win the 2014 $200,000 Longacres Mile (G3) in 1:33.67. The winner, then a 5-year-old Washington-bred gelding by Bertrando-Strking Scholar, is trained by Larry Ross for owners Jim and Mona Hour of Bellevue. REED PALMER, Emerald Downds

FOR THE REPORTER
Prime Engine showed up with his A-Game Sunday at Emerald Downs.
Racing with blinkers for the first time, Prime Engine overtook Betrbegone into the stretch and romped to a six-length victory in the $65,000 Emerald Downs Derby for 3-year-old colts and gelding.
Ridden by Joe Steiner at 122 pounds, Prime Engine ran 1 1/8 miles in 1:47.54 and paid $3.60, $2.80 and $2.60. Mike Puhich is the winning trainer for owner Dr. Mark Dedomenico of Redmond.
Prime Engine’s winning time was .57 seconds faster than Belle Hill’s time in Saturday’s Washington Oaks for 3-year-old fillies. He also is only the third betting favorite and the first since Gallon in 2008 to win the Emerald Downs Derby.
Betrbegone, ridden by Leonel Camacho-Flores at 122 pounds, held second and paid $3.80 and $3.40. Winner of last month’s Seattle Slew Handicap, Betrbegone led through fractions of :23.11, :46.51 and 1:10.22, and led into the last turn before yielding command to Prime Engine.

The following was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.
BY DEAN A. RADFORD
A 29-year-old Auburn woman was caught in a scam in which an agent of a Federal Reserve Bank told her she was the winner of $7,000.
She refused to give the caller her credit-card number, but she contacted someone else who would finish processing her award.
She sent a money order for $260 as a security deposit. A bank agent refused to give her his information until the process was complete, which would happen when she sent in another $490.
She provided her bank account infor-mation so that the agent could deposit the $7,000. She called the agent, who told her she would need to first pay 10 percent of the prize money to cover taxes.
At that point on July 23, she called police. She was told to watch her account for any unauthorized withdrawals and to notify her bank.
She turned over the contact information for the individuals who had asked her for money.
GUNSHOTS FIRED: A 47-year-old homeless man heard six gunshots just be-fore 1 a.m. July 24 coming from a fleeing
sedan on westbound Southwest Langston Street, then two more gunshots im-mediately after.
The second round of gunfire appar-ently involved a Dodge Charger and a beat-up Honda Civic-type four-door
sedan that were fleeing on southbound Hardie Avenue Southwest. It appeared the Charger was trying to lose the red sedan.
Officers found two 9mm shell casings on Southwest Langston, just west of Har-die Avenue Southwest.
HIT WITH ROCKS: A 26-year-old Renton man doesn’t want to press charges against two men – if they are found – who threw rocks at him and hit him July 20 on Wells Avenue South.
He was bleeding from the nose and mouth and had several marks on his face. The men also hit a car with a can of something.
The victim confronted the men when they got in his face. They attacked and he defended himself.
PURSE STOLEN: A 25-year-old Kent woman stole a purse from the Highlands’ Safeway customer-service counter July 31 because she thought it was found money.
But then she changed her story, sahying she really needed money for a money or-der to pay for her child’s daycare. She then ditched the purse in some bushes, but she couldn’t remember where.
She denied making purchases using the owner’s debit card at three business after the purse was stolen.
The victim had pointed out the suspect to an officer while she was reporting the crime.
The suspected was cited for third-degree theft.
I AM A KLEPTOMANIAC: A 43-year-old Kent man admitted he’s a kleptoma-niac – and knew we would get caught stealing personal-care products from Wal-mart on Rainier Avenue.
The suspect, along with his two back-packs and his bicycle, were in the loss-prevention office July 21 when an officer arrived. He admitted he had methamphet-amine and a pipe in one of the bags.
Once at the police cruiser, the suspect verbally assisted the officer find the drugs and the pipe, which was covered with a white residue, in the backpack.
He was booked into the SCORE re-gional jail for investigation of third-degree theft and drug possession.
NEIGHBORHOOD GUNFIRE: Four reports of gunfire made early on July 17 in the area around the 16500 block of 120th
Avenue Southeast.The residents of one residence were
jolted away by the sounds as many as three gunshots. One resident found a bullet hole in the garage. A bullet went through a metal bucket inside the garage.
It’s unlikely the family was targeted because of the number of reports at about the same time, roughly 12:30 a.m.
OFF METH-FREE: An officer doing a welfare check the morning of July 23 at a gas station on Rainier Avenue South found two men apparently sleeping, their car running and in reverse.
No crime had been committed and they were free to go – until an officer noticed a small baggie of while crystal powder sitting on the center console between the two men. The man in the driver’s seat admitted it was methamphetamine and he turned it over the officer.
Because the Police Department was on emergency minimum staffing that morning, another officer took over the call so the other officer could catch up on paperwork.
Because the meth was between the two men, the officer couldn’t determine who actually possessed it. So the case was filed as information only.
