If anyone knows how to create fun at a nightclub, it’s T.J. Stone, who’s no stranger to Renton.
If anyone knows how to cook a gourmet meal, it’s Benjamin Vahdati, who’s been known as the Euro-pean Gourmet.
Together, they are the fun side and the food side of the Stix -n- Stones Restau-rant and Lounge on Main Avenue in Renton, which opened in July.
� ey promise fresh food and fresh entertainment every day.
Stix -n- Stones follows in the footsteps of some suc-cessful and not-so-success-ful restaurants at 317 Main Ave. One of the successful restaurants was McGowan’s, owned by Ron McGowan and who still owns the building.
Stix -n- Stones is chock-full of something to do on an evening out or for lunch or for a Sunday brunch. � ere’s a bar, with the res-taurant on one side and the entertainment venue on the other side.
If you like to sing, there’s karaoke. If you like to dance, there’s a dance � oor. If you like to laugh, there are com-edy nights. If you like jazz, then listen up.
If you like to eat, Chef Vahdati, with more than three decades of experience, o� ers an extensive menu that caters to Northwest tastes, featuring everything
from simply prepared salmon to gourmet burgers at lunch to an entree of your choice, if you give the chef enough advance notice.
“You can get a wonder-ful dinner for an a� ordable price,” said owner Stone, who is the restaurant/
lounge’s operations man-ager. He’s a 1981 graduate of Lindbergh High School.
Stone has a long history entertaining people, starting as an 11-year-old singing and playing drums in local clubs. He went on the road with a band for six years.
� en he got into karaoke. � at was around 1990, in the same spot where he now oversees the Stix -n- Stones’ operations. Only then, it was known as Ri� estein’s Res-taurant. He was booked for � ve nights for six months as

Last year’s statewide test le� the Renton School District, along with all of Washington, with a mix of results that only fared well for middle schoolers.
While Renton’s lackluster scores ranked many of its schools behind the state average, the scores are seen as valuable information that can help teachers improve the classroom.
“We’re not willing to make excuses,” said spokes-person Randy Matheson. “We’re trying to � gure out what the test data is telling us and improve.”
� e district launched a new data warehouse this year that will allow teachers to access complete student histories, including state assessment scores, classroom grades and even behavior reports.
Since coming into o� ce a few years ago, collect-ing data has been a priority of Superintendent Mary
Alice Heuschel.Good data can help teachers
customize their lesson plans to meet individual student needs, Matheson said.
Analyzing the state assess-ment data is trickier this year, because the state assessment changed last spring. � e Wash-ington Assessment of Student
Learning was shortened and split into two, the High School Pro� ciency Exam (HSPE) and Measurement of Student Progress (MSP), grades 3-8.
But state and district administrators say the new test was a success, and the scores are comparable.
� e tests are analyzed by percentage of students who passed.
While the state average showed middle school scores trending up by a few points, Renton students made signi� cant progress.
Although still behind the state average in several areas, in others Renton middle schoolers caught up to and in some cases surpassed the state average.
� e district attributed the success to an a� er-school program that gives more classroom time to students in danger of failing.
Teachers made students more comfortable withthe MSP, by preparing them with tests written in a

Weddings can take months to plan. Imag-ine if you only have six days to create what some argue is the most important day in a woman’s life.
For Heather Hise, 32, of Renton those six days were a real roller coaster.
Last Friday, she got a phone call she really wasn’t expecting. � e caller told her that she and her husband-to-be, Anthony Millon, 27, of Renton were the big winners in the STAR 101.5 FM radio promotion, the Puyallup Fair Roller Coaster Wedding.
Within 20 minutes, she picked out her colors, � owers, best man and maid of honor. Tuxedoes were sized and ordered on Friday so they would arrive in time for the wedding.
Hise bought her wedding dress last Satur-day.
“� e whole thing has been � y by the seat of the pants,” she said earlier this week.
Hise and Million are engaged; they just hadn’t set a wedding date.
“We kept putting it o� ,” she said, likely until sometime next year.
� en, along came the Star 101.5 contest. � ey entered, not expecting to win. Entrants had to write about their most embarrassing moment together. A big snowstorm provided theirs. She didn’t want to get too personal.
Her car wouldn’t make it out of their apartment complex. Anthony had what she described as “this terrible car.” � ey took his car to the store. But they got stuck going up the steep hill on Puget Drive near Benson Road.
“He would push. I would gas it,” she said, the wheels spinning.
So, that slippery slope got them to a roller coaster in Puyallup.
� e wedding at 7:30 a.m. � ursday was to be broadcast live on � e Kent and Alan Morning Show on 101.5 FM. Kent Phillips, an ordained minister and co-host of the radio show, o� ciated the ceremony.
� e wedding party, minister and TV crew
were to be arranged in the roller-coaster car, with Phillips directly behind Heather and Anthony
“It (the roller coaster) will go around once as we say our vows,” she said.
Anthony has no problem riding on a roller coaster; Heather isn’t quite as con� dent.
“He is in heaven,” she said. “He’s a big kid.”� e only possible glitch in the plan was the
weather yesterday (� ursday). If it rained, they planned to exchange their vows on the carousel. “In that case, I am good to go,” she said.
� e couple received a number of “gi� s” as part of the wedding promotion, includ-ing rings, attire for the groom and best man, � oral arrangements and cake and fair scones.
� ey’ll see the Willie Nelson concert at the fair, with overnight accommodations in Puyallup. � ey’ll honeymoon in Los Angeles next month, where they’ll see Jack Johnson LIVE.
Heather and Anthony met at work (Ceva Logistics) and have been dating for four years. � ey have one son, Anthony Jr., while Heather also has a 12-year-old son and Anthony has an 11-year-old son. � is is their � rst marriage.

It’s been three years since the Eastside lost its beloved dinner train, but a Seattle sailor says his boat cruises can o� er something more.
“I have something bet-ter to o� er than the train, because you go through people’s front yards instead of their backyards,” said Hilton Smith, owner of Waterway Cruises.
While the ship has sailed from Renton for private functions, it began dinner and breakfast cruises this spring, and even Smith has been surprised by the business.
At one point a special promotion sold 1,615 tickets in 24 hours just for Renton cruises, he said. “We knew Renton was a place that could pull substantial amount of tour-ist tra� c, because of the success of the train.”
Smith started the Seattle-based company 19 years
ago with his wife, when he began leasing a yacht.
He was a successful real-estate investor who has carried a love of boats all of his life, he said.
Today, Waterways has three yachts, the largest being 105 feet, and holding up to 250 passengers.
It took Waterways Cruises about four years to negotiate a lease of a dock
in Renton, because the city has so few private docks.
� e bad economy halted a building project at Southport between the Bristol Apartments and the Boeing 737 plant. A tall dock and walking path were complete, but resi-dents mainly use them for lounging.
“� e owner said, ‘Well, we’d like to see some activ-ity’,” Smith said. “We knew the facility was attractive and that people liked to cruise from there.”
A large grass � eld, called the Southport Meadow, o� ers waterfront views and plenty of space for wedding tents.
� e company hosts about 50-60 weddings on its boats each year. Captain
Peter Walsh can even act as the wedding o� ciant.
� e boats are nice, too. � e sta� keeps them clean and well-maintained. Simple woodwork, a tinned ceiling and stylish lounge sofas are a step up from what’s typically found with the company’s main com-petitor, Argosy Cruises.
A lower outside deck on its 90-foot yacht, Olympic Star, o� ers privacy for couples trying to steal a kiss, while the upper deck is good for lounging and a small bar.
Many of the cruises have
live music.Smith carefully picked
and cross-trained the sta� between bartender, waiter, and deck hand, he said.
Waterways doesn’t rely solely on its lake views to make an enjoyable meal.
� e gourmet-style, four-course dinners are cooked onboard, although most of the preparation work is done o� boat.
� e cramped kitchen has just enough room to line out the plates and to do the � nal roasting.
“It’s a puzzle trying to � t everything in there,” said chef Chelsey Hines, adding that they insist on mak-
ing sure the food is freshly prepared on the boat.
For dinner the amuse bouche, a perfectly cooked prawn with a fruit salsa, was simple but tantalizing. But don’t hope for much in the salad, which was bitter and uninteresting.
Hines loves the grilled endive entree, but I went for the hanger steak and the salmon.
If you’re debating between the two, pick the steak.
It’s cooked medium rare with a mouth warming gravy, a beautiful stu� ed tomato and rich baked pasta loaded with cheese.
Although the salmon is smoked perfectly, it’s paired with cold and un-satisfying cucumbers and corn salsa.
� e happy hour cruise, which is probably the most popular cruise that sailed out of Renton this summer, comes with a blackened
salmon and chipotle chick-en tacos. Sunday brunches also o� er a bu� et.
� e captain loops the boats around Mercer Island, pointing out inter-esting sites, including Bill Gate’s mansion, Seward Park and the Bellevue skyline.
“� e scenery is lovely,” Capt. Walsh said.
It’s worth taking the time to gawk at some of the waterfront mansions. One home even had a dinosaur fossil in its foyer.
� e happy hour cruise, which is much easier on the pocketbook, ends in October with the slowing business, but the sunset and brunch cruises con-tinue through the winter.
A� er the last bit of warm light faded from a � aming red sunset, Hines looked out the dark window and said, “� e sunsets are awesome when it comes to fall.”

We need � scal responsibility in OlympiaFor the last two years our lawmakers have been unable to
balance our state’s multibillion-dollar de� cit due to a lack of innovative ideas and a reliance on old policies that have repeatedly failed.
It’s time to hold our legislators accountable. We must elect representatives who will bring new creative ideas to the table and who won’t sit back and use the age-old strategy of dramatically increasing taxes as the only way to balance the budget. It’s time to elect someone who will critically analyze the numbers and � nd a new and bet-ter solution that doesn’t suck millions of dollars out of an already struggling economy.
Legislators must � nd a way to put money back into the hands of businesses, rather than taking it away from them by raising taxes.
� is year we must elect someone who is prepared to � ght for � scal responsibility. If we elect Peter Dunbar and Steve Litzow, they will work to � nd new responsible ways to balance the budget and grow our state’s economy. If our Legislature doesn’t start trying to � nd a new approach to solving our budget crisis, our economy will continue to struggle and fall behind.Paul SinghRenton
You wouldn’t start out on a cross-country trek without a map, so why would you want to try to start a business in Renton without a business plan?
A business plan precisely de� nes your busi-ness, identi� es your goals, and serves as your � rm’s resume. It helps you allocate resources properly, handle unforeseen complications, and make good business decisions. Because it pro-vides speci� c and organized information about your company and how you will repay borrowed money, a good business plan is a crucial part of any loan application. Additionally, it informs sales personnel, suppliers, and others about your operations and goals.
Despite the critical importance of a business plan, many entrepreneurs drag their feet when it
comes to preparing a written document. � ey argue that their marketplace changes too fast for a business plan to be useful or that they just don’t have enough time. But just as a builder won’t begin construction without a blue-print, eager business owners
shouldn’t rush into new ventures without a business plan.
� ere are four core questions to answer before you begin writing your business plan. What service or product does your business pro-vide and what needs does it � ll? Who are the potential customers for your product or service and why will they purchase it from you? How will you reach your potential customers? Where will you get the � nancial resources to start your business?
Although there is no single formula for developing a business plan, some elements are common to all business plans. Your plan should start with a cover sheet, a statement of your business purpose and a table of contents. � en include a section about your business idea: describe your business, tell how you plan
to market it, review your competition, describe the operating procedures you plan to adhere to, discuss your plans for employees, and how you plan to hire and train them, and describe your approach to insuring the business.
Next, you’ll want to provide detailed � nancial data, including any loan applications you will � le, a list of the equipment and supplies you will need and how much they will cost, a bal-ance sheet showing your assets and liabilities, an analysis of what it will take for you to break even, and a projection of your business’ income, including anticipated pro� ts and losses.
Your � nancial data should be organized in a three-year summary, with detailed projec-tions of cash � ow, costs and income, organized month-by-month for the � rst year and quarter-by-quarter for the second and third years. Be sure to include a discussion of the assumptions on which your projections are based.
Finally, you should have an executive summary in which you summarize the plan including supporting documents and � nancial
projections. � e supporting documents should include resumes and tax returns of the princi-pal owners for the previous three years, a copy of a franchise agreement if your business is a franchise, copies of proposed leases or purchase agreements for business space, copies of licenses and other legal documents, and copies of letters of intent from suppliers and known customers.

The following information was compiled from City of Renton police reports:
BY CELESTE GRACEY
Three people were picking up a friend for an evening out, when a resident told them not to loiter by threatening them with a gun Sept. 5.
The victims parked their car on the 1800 block of Grant Avenue South and were waiting for their friend, a local resident, when the man ap-proached the car.
The victims reported him swearing, “I’m tired of this (expletive),” and “If you don’t live here, you need to leave.” He then pulled the slide to load the gun chamber.
The man was described as being in his 40s or 50s with grey and white hair and a large belly.
The victims sped off, fearing for their lives. They had seen the man at the complex before. The police brought in a few residents to be iden-tified, but the victims didn’t identify any of them as the suspect.
Man pulls gun at storeA man in his 20s pointed a gun at
two women in an SUV, after a driver blocked their car in at a store on the 2000 block of Benson Road South.
The two girls were sitting in their car with two
men in the back seat, when they saw the suspect buy a case of beer Sept. 13.
They asked the young preppy man if they could have a cigarette, which he gave them.
He then got back into the passenger side of four-door, dark green SUV. The driver pulled out of his parking stall and blocked the victims’ car, while the suspect pointed a gun for several seconds at the girls.
The two men in the victims’ car jumped out and ran away.
The officer had just come from a nearby call of gunfire, where witnesses saw a dark SUV speed away.
Homeless problemA local church made a complaint
of homeless loitering after they came across a man passed out on his back with his genitalia exposed Sept. 4.
The officer has responded multiple times to the area, even arresting the man before on the 300 block of South Third Street.
The area is often occupied by home-less who, “drink, urinate, defecate, and sleep, and loiter,” according the officer.
The church runs youth programs,
and while the officer was there, five people walked by the exposed man.
The officer photographed the man, before waking him up and arresting him.
The following information was compiled from King County Sheriff ’s reports:
Man brutally beatenA man was so brutally beaten by
people he didn’t know that he was sent to the Harborview Medical Center for treatment Aug. 18.
He was playing the Nintendo Wii with a group of about 10 people, one person whom he knew, when he was hit in the head with an aluminum baseball bat.
A struggle ensued, and three people attacked him. As he called police, he heard the suspects drive off, some in high-speed motorcycles from the 8700 block of Lawndale Avenue Southwest.
The suspects didn’t live at the Fair-wood home.
When sheriff ’s deputies arrived, the suspect was conscious but couldn’t see from one of his eyes, because it was filled with blood.
The webbing on his hand between his pinky and ring finger was cut about a half inch deep, and his nose was cut and possibly broken.

forcing changes at the three middle schools, a� er they missed Adequate Yearly Progress for at least six years.
� e district will spend at least $661,000 to make the federally man-dated changes, which include money for low-income families to receive private tutoring, a choice to leave the school and professional development for sta� , Matheson said.
Losing groundElementary and high school
students both saw losses this year, especially in the � � h- and 10th-grade.
State Superintendent Randy Dorn pointed to the new tests and contin-ued state budget cuts as the major causes for mixed and dropping scores.
“Washington needs to recommit to education, and it’s not just me saying that, it’s the courts,” he said, in a press release. “We are facing a serious budget crisis in this state, but if we continue to cut education, the progress we’ve previously made will disappear.”
� e state released the 2009-2010 assessment scores Aug. 30.
Renton � � h-graders saw a dip in scores from a 69.6 percent pass rate in reading to 65.3 percent, a 4.3 percent loss. Math had a 6.3 percent loss this year.
Fourth-graders also saw signi� -cant losses in reading, dropping 8.4 percentage points.
� e most vexing point for districts are the 10th-grade HSPE scores.
Starting with the incoming sophomores this year, class of 2013, all students will have to pass the math and science portions of the HSPE to graduate.
Last school year, only 34 percent of Renton students passed the math HSPE and 38.9 percent passed the science portion.
In years passed if students failed, they could take extra classes to make up the test, but that’s scheduled to end this year.
Dorn appealed to lawmakers last November to extend the graduation requirements by a few years, but they haven’t responded.
� e Renton sophomores also saw a 7.4 percent loss in reading and a 7.6 loss in writing, pulling the district away from the state averages it enjoyed last year.Renton Reporter sta� writer Celeste Gracey can be reached at 425-255-3484, ext. 5052.

A fish weir has become a common sight in the last three years as the state and City of Seattle work to harvest sockeye salmon eggs for the fish hatchery at Landsburg. An interpretive sign on the Carco Theater side of the river explains the species of fish visitors might see in the river. deAn A. rAdford, Renton Reporter
By DEAN A. RADFORD
A fish weir in the Cedar River near Carco Theater is trapping some of the tens of thousands of returning sockeye salmon from which the state and City of Seattle hope to harvest about 18 million eggs.
The fish weir guides fish into a hold-ing pen where sockeye are collected each morning for transport in a tanker truck to the fish hatchery at Landsburg.
The weir, in its third year, is a joint project of Seattle Public Utilities and the Washington state Department of Fish and Wildlife to help restore Cedar sockeye runs.
It was installed last Friday. In the first three days of operations, 120 sockeye, male and female, were pulled from the river. The run is estimated at between 150,000 and 170,000 sockeye, with about 70 percent headed for the Cedar.
Officials ask that the public stay off the weir and not harass the fish in the river.

Forget OLD Dentistry!Remember the stories of horrible Root Canals, painful teeth pulling, mean dentists?
Perhaps YOU experienced this in the past.Times have changed and modern dentistry is really remarkable in how we can pro-
vide great care in a comfortable way. A lot of times, people have had bad experiences which drove them away from the dentist and, just like a house, delayed maintenance has taken its toll. Gaps, holes in teeth, crooked teeth all can be resolved with newer, kinder, and modern techniques.
Give me 30 seconds to explore the options with you.Missing teeth: Modern bridges look great, and dental implants are amazing. We
have had patients who put off � lling in gaps for years and then wondered why they didn’t do it earlier once they had their � rst implant. The procedure is straightforward and you have a fake tooth that acts like a real tooth, you can even � oss around it, un-like a bridge. These options really improve your smile for your job interview, wedding photos, or public speaking engagement.Crooked teeth: When I was in braces, I was called “metal mouth” by one of
my “friends.” Well, that thought has prevented a lot of people from having teeth straightened. It’s a shame, because with InvisAlign and other clear braces options, you can really “hide the metal.” Plus, for adults, it is considered the “hip” thing to do. As people now place higher value on improving themselves, they look favorably on others who are willing to do the same. Don’t let fear of how you might be viewed with braces keep you from the beautiful smile you always wanted. Crowns: Ah, we still have to � x teeth that break or become too damaged that a
� lling simply won’t do. In addition to the traditional strong Gold, the latest genera-tion all Porcelain crowns are simply impressive. Strong, natural looking, and quick. In some cases, they can be designed and made in the dental of� ce in a CAD/CAM machine. This is the same technology that large companies use to computer design and mill precision components.
This is really just a glimpse of the great things that we offer in our of� ce. We are proud to have been selected as one of the Best of Renton. We are also proud to support our local Renton businesses for our own needs, such as King and Bunny’s Appliances.Let me ask you to do one thing. Go look at your photos, are you smiling? Do
you hide your teeth when you smile? Why? We can help you with that, in a comfort-able, caring way. Call us today.

Q: First Dental Visit - At What Age?A: "First visit by first birthday" is the message
of the AAPD, as well as the ADA. Basically, whenever the first tooth comes in is an appropriate time to see the dentist. Because dental problems can begin early, examination and preventive care protects your child's smile now and in the future.
Q: Would your childbenefit from a specialist?
A: Of course! Pediatric dentists are the "pediatricians" of dentistry. Our focus
is prevention, early detection, and treatment of dental disease. Combining expertise and kindness, with a bit of illusion, Dr. McDonald provides a positive and caring approach to dentistry for your child.

Stone works alongside his wife Jennifer. His 11-year-old stepson Tanner came up with the restaurant’s name, after the adults played around with how to use their last names in the title.
Stone’s business partner is Alex Atwood of Univer-sity Place, who handles the
books.But the food is all Vah-
dati’s.“He’s very picky,” Stone
said. “He created all our food.”
Vahdati himself has an extensive background in the food and entertainment industry, opening clubs and restaurants. He was an executive chef in Europe for
3 1/2 years. He grew up in Italy and
traveled extensively with his father, a civil engineer, in the Mediterranean and the Middle East. He arrived in the United States at age 23.
For sure, he’s committed to his restaurant.
In the midst of open-ing his new restaurant, he had open-heart surgery.
He was supposed to take a year off, but he was back in the kitchen two days after surgery.
“I just couldn’t sit down,” he said.
The food has one well-known fan.
In Renton, Stix -n- Stones is “my new favorite restau-rant,” said Shannon Waters of Renton, AKA Shambo of
TV’s “Survivor.” She recom-mends the Portofino Steak rib eye.
Waters’ family is a regular at the restaurant. She works for a restaurant-equipment supplier.
Vahdati does all the heavy lifting in the kitchen. He doesn’t have many canned goods.
“Everything is fresh in
here,” he said.That fresh product some-
day could include lobster from Maine and Mahi Mahi from Hawaii.
He puts his customer first. That includes getting just the right meal, even if it’s not on the already-extensive menu.
“This is your night,” he said. “What would you like to have?” He can adapt “the main center of the plate” on the spot and, with advance warning, can fix something not on the menu. He has 17 years in the catering business.
He spends a lot of time interacting with customers. “It’s part of the entertain-ment,” he said.

Renton OBITUARY
Stephen StrehloStephen Cascadean Stre-
hlo, 32, of Renton died Aug. 24, 2010.
He was born Aug. 19, 1978, in Seattle, to Stephen and Michelle Strehlo. He grew up in Seattle and was a plumber and pipefitter.
Suvivors include his son Stephen Carl Strehlo and his mother.
A funeral mass was Sept. 3 at Our Lady of Mount Virgin Catholic Church, 1531 Bradner Pl. S., Seattle.
A 55-year-old Seattle man died Tuesday night after he was run over by a runaway backhoe at about 5:30 p.m. in the 11900 block of 171st Place Southeast, east of Renton, according to the King County Sheriff ’s Office.
The death of Kevin M. Holmberg was ruled an ac-cident by the King County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Holmberg was clearing property when the backhoe was damaged and a tie rod was broken, according to sheriff ’s spokesman Sgt. John Urquhart. He was able to get the equipment out
onto 171st Place Southeast, but the tie rod ended up stuck in the ground like a kickstand.
Holmberg kicked the tie rod loose and the backhoe started rolling down hill. He ran alongside trying to reach for the controls but slipped and was run over.
Holmberg was taken to Harborview Medical Center, where he died about 7 p.m.

Seattle man killed by runaway backhoe east of Renton Tuesday
A local Highlands family recently was provided with a landscape makeover
from Windermere Real Estate/Renton, Inc. for their annual Community Service Day. It all began because a young family dealing with cancer needed some real help with their yard. Volunteers did everything from tearing down a large deck to cleaning up the big toy, to spreading bark and basic pruning of plants and bushes, even designing a small paver patio for the family to enjoy some summer sunshine. Support came from Lowes in Renton, McLendon Hardware in Renton, The Escrow Group in Bellevue and Waste Management Eastmont Recycling Center. SuBMITTED

In the process, the rights of the estate’s beneficiaries, as well as the decedent’s creditors and taxing authorities are protected. The financial aspects of the decedent’s life are “wrapped up” and the assets are distributed in accordance with the decedent’s wishes.

Movement, motion and pace. � at’s what will determine the fate of the Hazen girls soccer team this season.
Second-year head coach Ken Matthews has set big goals and a fast pace for this group. Can they keep it up?
“As long as we maintain the pace and mobility we want on the � eld, that’s our X factor,” Matthews said. “� at will take us a long, long way. If we don’t do that we’ll be another also-ran.”
� e biggest change for the High-landers is a new o� ensive attack Matthews installed this o� season. � e change will put senior Lexi
Garvin, who plays attacking mid posi-
tion, in more of a scoring role.
Garvin will share the major
o� ensive load with Kayla Hackman, who
Matthews wants to work for more assists this season.
Garvin totaled seven goals and 11 assists last season.
Hackman, a senior striker, scored 28 goals last season, which led the Seamount.
Another key player is junior keeper Priscilla Yu. Yu started every game last season. She collected eight shutouts and saved 94 percent of shots on goal.
Both Hackman and Yu were all-Seamount, � rst-team selections last season. Garvin made the second team.
On defense seniors Erin Ander-son and Sam Zyskowski both made the all-league second team. Other key players are senior Katelyn Mel-linger and junior Sarah Schoville. Mellinger scored four goals while Schoville collected four assists.
Hazen has six freshmen on the varsity roster. Of those six, Gab-bie Brower (defender), Chelsea Delgado (outside mid� elder) and Cindy Hanson (central mid� elder) will start.
Matthews said the team had 16 freshmen try out this season and three more are talented enough to start on varsity, if not for the players ahead of them.
“� ere are some really good play-ers in the pipeline for us,” Matthews said. “We’re excited for that because it bodes really well for us.”
Hazen had 25 girls in the pro-gram last season and is up to 38 this season. Matthews said the quality of the players is what’s impressive.
“Literally, all 18 of the girls on the varsity roster could start and we

Hazen Highlander Kayla Hackman dribbles away from defenders at a summer practice. ADAM MCFADDEN, Renton Reporter
In a season opening test of the Highlander girls’ soccer team, Hazen took on Kennedy’s Lancers Tuesday night at Renton Stadium, with the match ending in a scoreless draw.
“Whoever said, ‘a tie is like kissing your sister’, never tied Kennedy,” said Hazen Coach Ken Matthews.
Kennedy, last year’s undefeated and untied league champions, came into the game with two wins and a No. 3 ranking in the state.
Hazen, listed as a team “on the radar” in some state rankings, had a 1-0-1 record. Before the biggest and possibly the loudest home crowd in recent history, Hazen and Kennedy exchanged blows for 80 minutes and no one blinked.
“The crowd was really something. Luckily, I don’t have to give much direction during a game because no one on the � eld could have heard me anyway. I know the girls stepped up a little higher knowing they had the fans up there shouting and cheering every minute,” said Matthews.
Matthews rotated his 17 � eld players into positions to help Hazen stay fresh in the fast-paced game.
Junior keeper Priscilla Yu was credited with the shut out and had 17 saves; her play at cut-ting o� long balls up the middle contributed to the draw.
Hazen’s JV dropped its match to Kennedy.

wouldn’t be in a bad way,” he said. “If we do have an injury right now we have plenty of players to step in.”
The Highlanders impressed early at a jam-boree Sept. 4. Twenty-one teams showed up and Hazen topped Mercer Island 1-0. The Islanders finished fourth in state last year and were a good test for Hazen. Hazen later took on West Seattle and lost.
Hazen started its regu-lar season schedule with a 4-1, non-league win against Aberdeen Sept. 7.

The Renton High foot-ball team will be hard-pressed to find a less famil-iar opponent than it faced Sept. 10. The Indians took on the Thunder Mountain Falcons out of Juneau, Alaska, at Renton Stadium and fell 36-20.
The Falcons (6-0) took an early lead when Cam-eron Fronimos ran around the left side for a 38-yard touchdown. Fronimos put Renton (0-2) down 14-0 when he scored again in the quarter from 11 yards out. When Frominos inter-cepted Renton quarterback Zane Brown on the next drive, it looked like the Falcons might run away with the game.
“We get off to slow starts, slow and sluggish,” said Renton coach Donald Ponds. “It’s something we have to change. That’s go-ing to be our Achilles heal this season.”
Frominos found plenty of room to run and ended the first half with four
rushing touchdowns.But the Renton defense
regrouped and came up
with a big stop on fourth and goal from their own 6-yard line. Two plays later
the Indians flashed their big-play potential when Brown hit Justin Bennett
on a deep post route for a 98-yard touchdown.
Brown tossed another touchdown when he con-nected with P.J. Benedictus on a fade route for 10 yards later in the second quarter.
The Indians had to stick mostly to passing once they fell behind, making the team one-dimensional on offense.
“We don’t want to play from behind,” Ponds said. “We have playmak-ers and we know we can utilize that. But not if we’re down.”
The Indians pulled to within a score in the third quarter when Brown and Bennett connected again for 59 yards. That was as close as Renton would get as the team’s defense improved during the game, but it wasn’t enough.
“We’ve got to go back to the basics,” Ponds said. “Blocking and tackling, those basic things are what we’re going to emphasize.”
Renton doesn’t have much time to regroup, as it faces Lindbergh Friday night.
