FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 2013

The City of Renton is hoping this year’s Fourth of July fireworks show at Gene Coulon Park will be the best show they’ve done so far. But you may have to be in the park to see it.
For the first time since the city began its July 4 celebration, this year’s fireworks will not be fired off from a barge 1,000 feet from shore but from the Ivar’s water walk .
That means instead of the usual height of about 600 feet in the air, this year’s explo-sions will only reach about 300 feet, making it difficult to see from surrounding homes
and hills.The change is due to increased regula-
tions and hazardous materials transporta-tion and safety standards.
According to Sonja Mejlaender of the Renton Community Relations and Events department, the city must find a place south of the Interstate 90 bridge to load its shells onto the barge, that would then be towed into place near the park.
In the past, the city used a spot in Kenmore, but that location has become a
construction site for the new state Route 520 bridge and is no longer available.
Because of the larger shells used for the fireworks show, a setback of 1,000 feet from all residences is required. And south of the highways, there are no commercial loca-tions available to load a barge.
The city even tried working with Boe-ing, but because fireworks are a hazardous material, Boeing could not approve using its land for the barge either.

the annual renton relay for life began under clear blue skies Friday at Renton Memorial Stadium with the traditional Survivor’s Lap, honoring those who are fighting or have beaten cancer. Walkers remained on the track through the night until the closing ceremonies at 11 a.m. Saturday morning. The event is a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. This year 510 participants on 32 teams rasied more than $83,500 for cancer research. PhoToS CouRTeSy oF RAy KuSuMi
Celebrating the survivors

The hope of creating a dog park or community garden for the Benson Hill neighborhood has hit a snag, but com-munity leaders are moving forward with new ideas for a community gathering space.
Originally, the new Benson Hill Community Plan called for the empty space at the commercial center to create a community focal point, with a focus on a dog park or garden, but a check by the property’s owner revealed that his insurance would not allow it.
According to Chuck Seil, vice president of the Cascade neighbor-hood Association, Cas-cade Village property owner Bruce Anderson’s insurance company told him that not only would they not cover a dog park, but the addition of a dog park to the property would force them to can-cel his policy altogether.
“I was a little saddened by it,” said Seil, who owns a dog himself and was looking forward to the possibility of off-leash space.
Senior Planner Erika Conkling said that while using the commercial space for a dog park may be out, there is still the possibility for the area.
“It’s not possible to have those things in the way they went about pursuing it,” said Conkling. “It could be pos-

Officials stress the dangers of using illegal fireworks
ATF explosives agent Brennan Phillips displays some illegal and dangerous explosives. Above, a professional firework’s launch explosion takes the foot off a plywood dummy. BriAn Beckley, Renton Reporter
By BriAn Beckley
Officials from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms on Wednesday highlighted the destruc-tive power of illegal fireworks during a demonstration in Renton.
Explosives agent Brennan Phil-lips displayed several illegal devices, explained the dangers involved and then watched as officials set off the explosives in advance of July 4.
Among the dangerous items demonstrated were a tennis-ball bomb, an M-1000 “Silver Salute” and a relatively new device called a “Light Saber.”
Phillips called the Light Saber par-ticularly “insidious” because it looks a lot like a typical Roman candle, but launches M-80 shells into the air, making them much more dangerous.
All fireworks are illegal in the City of Renton. The city hosts a public dis-play at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park (see page 1).
The Renton Police and Fire De-partments actively enforce the ban and work jointly to issue citations and confiscate fireworks.

Pastor Kirby Unti of St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church has been busy this week saying goodbye to his con-gregation and community members, as he prepares to become a bishop for the Northwest Washing-ton Synod of the Evan-gelical Lutheran Church of America.
“I’m living between two worlds, you know,” Unti said last Friday. “I’m very excited about the future and at the same time, it’s very hard to leave the Renton community and this faith community, where I’ve developed wonderful, wonderful partnerships and friendships working together.”
St. Matthew’s will also loose Pastor Kathryn Buf-fum, as she will join Unti as assistant to the bishop.
The congregation and community members have expressed positive feed-back so far on the changes, Unti said, because they are “proud somebody out of their congregation and out of their town would be elected bishop.”
“While I’m going through mixed feelings, they also are going through very mixed feelings,” he said.
Kathy Kellar, a member for six years, feels thankful and blessed to have experi-enced Unti’s service to the church.
“While we are all so happy for him, we all will feel the loss of no longer having our pastor within fingertip reach,” Kellar said.
Members of the church and faith community originally approached Unti about submitting his name to the nomination process. He didn’t see himself as a bishop and at first ignored the requests. When more people from different as-pects of the church started asking him about the bishop position, he changed his mind and allowed his name to be submitted.
Next, at an annual Lutheran assembly of 400 pastors, rostered staff and lay people, 15 nominees, in-cluding Unti, went through the election process.
“It was a grueling pro-cess,” said Unti of the three days in May to select the next regional bishop. The 15 were whittled down to seven, then three, then two and finally to one: Unti.
For his six year term
as bishop, Unti will be responsible for caring for 105 churches from the Kent/Des Moines border north to Canada. He will guide those churches if they have pastoral changes and conflicts and he will work to create learning oppor-tunities and resources to strengthen the ministry.
Unti will also spend a portion of his time in Chi-cago, serving the “mother church,” as one of the 65 national bishops, who make up the Conference of Bishops.
Unti hopes to main-tain his home in Renton and continue to serve on the Board of Trustees for Renton Technical College.
“I came to St. Matthew’s on May 18, 1980, which is the day Mount St. Helens blew up,” he said. “That was a monumental day and I
always would tease people because they’d say, ‘You stayed there so long.’”
Unti always replied that he was waiting for a sign of equal magnitude before he left. He has served at the church for 33 years.
The biggest surprise has come from congregation members who are learning Unti won’t be around to bury their loved ones or of-ficiate at their weddings.
Unti is proud to leave behind a legacy of com-munity partnerships that were created while he was at St. Matthew’s. The church is known historically for its work with public health, the Renton School district, Communities in Schools of Renton, the ARISE men’s shelter program, Congrega-tions for the Homeless, the Emergency Feeding Pro-gram and an adult daycare.
He is also proud of two recent ministries: Grace Chinese Lutheran Church and Luther’s Table, a down-town Renton restaurant.
When he was assigned to St. Matthew’s back in 1980, the church was on the verge of collapse because of low membership. Unti had instructions to merge it with another church or provide good “hospice” care while it died. The bishop at the time also told Unti that he was young and might see that there was vitality yet at St. Matthew’s.
“Even though it was re-ally, really struggling, it (the church) still was outwardly focused,” Unti said. “They were still connected to the community beyond the four walls and that’s what gave me the encouragement to believe that the church had a future.”
Churches in any sect need to know who their neighbors are and become friends,” he advises.
Now Unti is left with a deep sense of gratitude to Renton, the faith commu-nity and the people of the
city for allowing him to be himself and teaching him, he said.
“I’ve learned by living in this community how to join hands to work together for the good of the commu-nity,” Unit said. “We’ve been very very fortunate. This community has been very good to not just me, but my entire family.”
All four of his daughters, who are now adults, were raised in St. Matthew’s and in Renton.
“What’s the irony here is that I will be the bishop,” Unti said laughing about next steps for St. Matthew’s. “So, yeah, there will be a certain level of care that I will bring to identifying potential pastors.”

Work is under way on a permanent Tukwila Sounder commuter rail station that will become a key link in the regional and statewide transportation systems.
Local, regional and federal officials broke ground on the $46 million project Monday morning near the temporary – and wooden – station that has stood since 2000.
The rail station on the Burlington North-ern Santa Fe tracks is on Longacres Way in Tukwila, sandwiched between West Valley Highway and Interstate 405.
The station built on raised platforms next to the tracks currently has more than 1,300 weekday boardings, making it the second-most popular facility on a south line that serves about 10,000 riders a day.
The station serves Sounder commuter rail and Amtrak Cascades service; the temporary station will remain open during construction.
When complete in fall 2014, the perma-nent station will offer 390 parking spaces, improved transit connections, storage for 76 bicycles, four electrical charging stations, passenger shelters and public art.
Participating in the ceremony were County Councilmember Julia Patterson, U.S. Rep. Adam Smith, Federal Railroad Admin-istrator Joseph Szabo, Sound Transit Board member and King County Executive Dow Constantine, State Rep. Steve Bergquist, and Tukwila City Council President Kathy Hougardy, as well as Renton City Council members Greg Taylor and Marcie Palmer.
The cities of Tukwila and Renton have worked together on planning for the station for the past several years to ensure it works well with the development and transporta-tion goals of each city.
The money for the project is coming from Sound Transit, Federal Transit Administra-tion, Federal Railroad Administration and the American Recovery and Investment Act.

ible under different circumstances.”Conkling said if a portion of the
land is sold or leased to someone with another insurance policy, it could still happen, though using the property owner’s insurance is no longer an option.
Conkling said the next draft of the Benson Hill Community Plan, ex-pected to be released next week, will be less specific in its call for the use of the Cascade Village property, but it will keep the idea of a “quick win” in the area to create a public space and draw people to the plaza, something the planning department heard from residents during public workshops.
“The idea is if you get people com-ing and going there, you get some-
thing; it’s a quick win,” she said. “The plan is really supporting what the neighborhood or community wants.”
Seil said after the news about the insurance, the neighborhood associa-tion is shifting gears and looking to create a walking trail through the back part of the property. Seil said the trail would be about a half-mile long and go from the ballfield near the road back to the power lines at the back of the property.
Seil said they are envisioning a crushed gravel trail with benches at the far end and picnic tables near the field and said a trail has even more potential for the community as a whole than a dog park.
“Not everyone has a dog,” he said.Seil said the neighborhood associa-
tion hoped to apply next year for a city neighborhood grant for the trail.
Conkling said the city was most concerned with finding a short-term option to begin to build momentum in the community, whatever that turns out to be.
“But I wouldn’t write off the dog park yet,” she said.
A public hearing on the Benson Community Plan is scheduled for the July 17 Planning Commission meet-ing. A new version of the plan should be available for review on bensonplan.org next week.

If you are of a mind to deliver a one-finger salute at mention of lawmakers in a tortuous spe-cial session, imagine what those in the hallowed suites of the Boeing Co. are thinking as they keep watch on the endless proceedings.
Its posse of corporate lobbyists arrived in Olympia in January with a short but challenging wish list for legislators to fulfill. They’re waiting to see what got done.
The list read something like this:Invest in training workers and educating
greater numbers of engineers; improve the state’s transportation network including in and around its Everett factory; continue reforming workers’ compensation; and don’t change a state standard on fish consumption in a way that forces them to spend major bucks on improvements at its facilities.
As of Wednesday morning, Boeing had lost one for certain and couldn’t yet claim successes on any of the others.
Workers’ comp won’t happen, traded away in the last rounds of state budget negotiations.
A nearly $10 billion transportation package — for which the linchpin is a 10.5-cent gas tax hike — is a definite maybe.
There will likely be money to increase en-rollment in college STEM programs including dollars for Washington State University to offer electrical engineering classes at Everett Com-munity College. But enrollment of those WSU students is getting delayed a full year due to the legislative inaction.
Looking at the scorecard, Boeing’s batting
average is underwhelming.As much as lawmakers are the cause by not
giving them what they want, Boeing must shoul-der some of the blame as well.
Boeing is well known under the Capitol Dome for never saying exactly what it wants and what it doesn’t want to legislators. Their lobbyists communicate in a code which relies on nonver-bal signs — a nod, a shrug, a head shake — and noncommittal language. And they never leave a paper trail.
They are opaque, which confounds lawmakers. This year is no exception.
There was a time such scorekeeping didn’t get done because it didn’t matter. Boeing seemed to have eyes for no state but Washington.
Now score is kept for it’s no longer a monoga-mous relationship. Boeing’s become a hound dog playing the field from one coast to the other.
In these past six months, while legislators and the governor pushed the state to the brink of an unprecedented shut down, the Boeing Co. continued its slow cruise out of Pugetopolis one transferred engineer and fabricated wing at a time.
If Inslee and legislators honestly want Boeing to build its next generation of passenger jets in this state, they put forth a pretty unconvincing performance this session.
It’s been nothing like 2003 when Washington offered up a humongous tax break and huge reforms in workers’ compensation to win the Dreamliner.

During the last three decades, Rev. Kirby Unti has offered his congregants and all of Renton thousands of words of hope, encouragement and solace.
He has blessed newlyweds, babies and the emergency room at Valley Medical Center. He has seen what makes Renton special, even sacred. He has led his congregants and the community in times of mourning.
Now, it’s time to say something to Kirby Unti:Thank you.Unti, pastor for 33 years of St. Matthew’s Lutheran
Church in the Highlands, was elected in May as bishop of the Northwest Washington Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
He indicated he hopes to remain a trustee of Renton Technical College.
Sunday, Renton can say goodbye to Unti and his wife Kim at a church reception, 11:15 a.m.-12:45 p.m., following the worship service at 10 a.m., and at a community recep-tion, 1-4 p.m. at Luther’s Table, 419 S. Second St.
Remembering Unti’s service to Renton would take time. That service is vast and for which in 2007 he was honored as Renton’s Citizen of the Year.
Unti has helped build Renton and his church since the day he and Kim arrived in Renton – Sunday, May 18, 1980, the day that Mount St. Helens erupted. They’re no earthly rumblings expected this Sunday; but this being summer, the heavens may open with a few tears.
For sure, Unti was called upon when we wanted to celebrate and appreciate what made Renton a special place.
He gave the invocation when Valley Medical Center’s new Emergency Services Tower opened in January 2010, calling it a place of “great healing” and “compassion.”
“I want you to know we are standing on sacred ground,” he said.
And when disaster struck closer to home, Unti and his church opened their doors. As they often do, floods struck the Cedar River in January 2009. Thirty or so residents of the Cedar Grove Mobile Home Park took shelter there, one of just two Red Cross shelters open in the county.
It was difficult to say goodbye in June 2011 to Salvation Army Captains Terry and Rutendo Masango, who like the Untis made a difference in the lives of their church and their community.
Unti was there to help.The Masangos got a standing ovation when he asked,
“Do we love the Masangos?”Sounds like a good question to ask on Sunday about the
Untis.

Alley issue affects several builders in renton
Thank you for your recent story concerning the City of Renton’s practice of enforcing alleys as a mandatory component of all single-family development applications, despite language in city code stating that alleys are “preferred” [“Preference for alleys becoming an issue with
developers,” Renton Reporter, June 21, 2013]. We are glad to see the Renton Reporter call at-tention to this important issue.
However, the article suggests that the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties represents just one member on this issue.
That is incorrect. We in fact have more than a dozen builder members who have been affected by the alley issue. The manner in which the City of Renton is enforcing its code is creating a great deal of uncertainty for many builders,
not just one. Additionally, we believe the issue is discouraging those and other builders from even starting projects in Renton because of the uncertainty it creates.
Thank you again for your coverage of the is-sue. We remain committed to working with the city to help find a solution.Allison ButcherPublic Affairs DirectorMaster Builders Association of King and Sno-homish Counties

State regulators Tues-day approved a multi-year rate plan for Puget Sound Energy (PSE) that will raise electric and gas rates beginning July 1, but limit increases for the next three to four years.
In approving the multi-year rate plan, the Washing-ton Utilities and Transporta-tion Commission (UTC) will allow PSE to increase residential electric custom-ers’ rates by 3.34 percent this year, while natural gas rates will change by 1.55 percent. The newly approved rates will produce $52.3 million of additional revenues for PSE’s electric operations and $9.1 million for its natural gas operations.
During the next three to four years, the company may increase rates a maximum of 3 percent of PSE’s annual revenue with any excess amounts above the 3 percent recovered in the following year. These increases are expected to be substantially
below the level the company has received over the past several years. Among the purposes of the multi-year rate plan is to provide the
company with incentives to cut costs. Ultimately, those efficiencies will benefit the consumers.
For the first year, the aver-
age PSE residential electric customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours-per-month will see their electric bill increase by $3.24, for a bill
total of $100.33. The typical natural gas customer using 68 therms a month would pay $1.28 more, for a revised bill of $77.89.

Two Renton residents among first HERO program graduates
Returning to civilian life after spending time in the armed forces can be difficult for veterans. One of the biggest challenges is finding a job in a tough economic climate.
King County is as-sisting veterans making the transition to civilian work through the Heroes Employment Reintegration Opportunity (HERO) Pro-gram. The program offers six-month paid internships to qualified veterans, along with support services tai-lored to men and women re-entering the civilian workforce.
“Veterans are a highly skilled and capable group of workers, but it can be difficult to translate their military training into civilian employment,” said King County Executive Dow Constantine. “Our HERO Program helps bridge the gap between military and civilian life by giving veterans the tools they need to succeed.”
During a ceremony this morning in the King County Council chambers, the first group of graduates from the HERO Program, including two Renton residents, was recognized by Executive Constantine and King County Council-members.
Each veteran was also presented with a special
coin inscribed with a King County logo and the seals of each branch of the U.S. military. Similar coins are often presented to ser-vicemembers by their unit commanders in recogni-tion of special achieve-ment.
Among those honored today were Corrie Maxwell and Jason Schluter, both of Renton.
Schluter, who is origi-nally from Renton and lives there now is a special-ist in the U.S. Army. He served at Kunsan Base in South Korea, McGregor Range in New Mexico, Fort Bliss in Texas and Fort Sill in Oklahoma. Schluter is working with King County Elections.
Maxwell is originally from Yakima, but to-day calls Renton home. Maxwell was a petty officer third class in the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps and has served Served at the Naval Dental Clinic, Naval Air Station Moffett Field, Calif.; the Naval Dental Center in San Diego; and with the 1st Dental Battalion, 1st Force Service Support Group, Camp Pendleton, Calif. Maxwell is applying for the dental hygiene program at Seattle Central Com-munity College for the fall of 2014.
For more information about the HERO Program, call 206-477-3261 or visit www.kingcounty.gov/jobs. For information about the King County Veterans Program, visit www.king-county.gov/veterans.

Jason had to have his wife bring him into the The Pain Center of Bellevue because he had lost the ability to play golf, sit, stand, or walk for more than ten minutes... He felt crippled, and was admittedly “addicted to drugs now.” Jason had severe knee pain with clicking and popping for over 3 years. He had 40% loss of muscle strength in his legs and because of this he said he could no longer climb stairs or walk without knee pain. He was diagnosed by X-Ray to have arthritis in his knees. Jason had tried the typical medication, physical therapy, chiropractic, and steroid injections with no relief at all... so in 2010 he went ahead and had arthroscopic surgery performed on his left knee. This is when your surgeon can use arthroscopy to feel, repair or remove damaged tissue. To do this, small surgical instru-ments are inserted through other incisions around your knee....Well, like in many cases, this did not work to solve the underlying problem so he had lost all hope.
When he went to visit an or-thopedic surgeon he said he couldn’t help his case and he was going to end up eventu-ally requiring a knee replace-ment surgery. Jason and his wife had nowhere to turn until they heard about The Pain Center of Bellevue and Joint Regen-eration Therapy.
Jason was told exactly how the Joint Regenera-tion Therapy worked and how it might be able to help him... but due to his severity and history of bone on bone arthritis...no promises were given...other than that the staff would do what they do best and provide him with high quality care with the high-est quality medical equipment speci� cally designed to help joints recover, heal, and repair.
After a few weeks of care, Jason was pain free and was able to walk, run, sit, lift, work, and do anything he needs to be a normal productive person with a real future. He is off all medication and the thought of a knee replacement is now in the past! Jason’s wife also know’s what a true gift this has been for them and it would not have been possible without The Pain Center of Bellevue.
Getting to Know My KneeWhat is the knee joint and what does it do?Your knee is one of the most important joints in your body. It is a major “weight-bearing” joint—which means it helps support your body’s weight. It plays a role in almost all of your
movements.
The way your knee bends back and forth is a lot like a hinge on a door. Part of it also rotates whenever you bend it (this is called “� exion”) and straighten it (this is called “extension”).
Causes and symptoms of knee painKnee pain is very common. In fact, 33% of people in the United States over the age of 45 report some form of knee pain.
There are many causes of knee pain: ◗ Injuries, often due to sports◗ Some medical conditions such as arthritis, gout, infection, and in� ammation
◗ Knee osteoarthritis is a major cause of knee pain
How do I know if this treatment is right for me?Joint Regeneration Therapy may be the right treatment for you if:1. Your knee pain is due to osteoarthritis2. You are not getting adequate osteoarthritis
knee pain relief from walking and/or physi-cal therapy
3. You are not getting adequate osteoarthri-tis knee pain relief from pain medications, including: Ibuprofen (e.g., Advil®), Acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol®), Naproxen sodium (e.g., Aleve®)
If you are suffering with any amount of knee pain, then you owe it to yourself to have a no-obligation evaluation of your MRI and/or X-ray and physical examination with one of our specialists so we can determine if Joint Regeneration Therapy would help you or a loved one.
The � rst step is this evaluation, just to see if you are a candidate. From there it will be your decision to proceed with care if we accept your case. We only work with serious people who have serious problems... We have a limited number of new patient appointments per week, so call now and reserve a time for us to look at your case and see what’s possible.

I love raw honey (honey that is straight from the bee hive without adding heat). It’s a comforting food.
I enjoy warming it up in milk for my kids as an after-school treat, spooning oversized dollops onto the center of a piping hot bowl of oatmeal. And, of course, peanut butter
spread with that ooey gooey rich honey on thick-cut bread is like manna. It’s no wonder they found honey in Egyptian tombs!
I’m a sucker for those big Mason jars with homespun labels
at farmers markets that say Blackberry or Wildflower honey. That means that if honey-bee hives are located by a whole bunch of blackberry bushes, the pollen the bees used to make honey is likely to be sourced from those flowers and thus have the essence of blackberries. Pasteurization boils all those notes away.
Once upon a time, long ago, Paul and I drove to San Francisco for a little vaca-tion (before kids) and in the middle of a wooded wonderland on the side of a country road, we found a checkered table with amber-colored jars filled to the brim with rich honey. Near the honey was a handcrafted wooden box with a slit at the top and a sign in swirly script that read:
Honor Policy: each jar is $7.In the past few years there has been a
resurgence of people going back to nature. Whether it’s growing a garden, compost-ing, going green, drinking organic milk, or eating raw honey, people are looking to live more simple lives.
As a result, people are getting into bees. You can see the telltale signs in our neigh-borhoods, generally two large wooden boxes stacked on top of each other.
People are also taking note of an alarm-ing disease that has been affecting the honey bee called Colony Collapse Disorder or CCD that has wreaked havoc on the
honey bees.There is no definitive answer about
what is causing honey bees to abandon their hives, leaving the queens and babies unattended. But leading scientists believe that pesticides and lack of food for the bees is causing the demise of hives around the world.
My 13-year-old daughter Sophie wanted to become a beekeeper because “bees are cool! And they need our help!”
I was game, but a little wary. For all of my life I have loved everything about
honey, except for the bees for no other rea-son than I held a grudge from when I was 10 and got stung between my flip flops. But Sophie was right: the bees need our help.
So I was excited to talk to Brian Over-man, longtime Renton Hill resident who’s been keeping bees for the last five years.
Brian lives at the tippy top of Renton Hill where the view is spectacular from a cozy rambler built by his parents in 1948. Brian’s yard is beautiful as well as strategic, home

“I grew up here on Renton Hill,” Brian told me, his voice filled with a sweet nostalgia. He moved back to his childhood home on Renton Hill 13 years ago after his mother passed away.
“I have loved this place, the hill and my home, for most of the 64 years I have been here.”
Brian’s parents were one of the first families to build on the hill.
“I attended Henry Ford Elementary school and walked home up and down Renton Hill every day, not quite the story of riding a horse 20 miles through the snow to get to school but nevertheless a long uphill walk. I attended Renton High School back when Clarence Williams was our star ball player.”
Brian’s interest in bees came from his background in farming, woodworking and a love of the natural world.
When the Colony Collapse Disorder became public he built his own hives.
“After the first year I was able to actually harvest my first jars of honey from my own honey bees! This was huge! Actually
producing a product from my own efforts, well honestly the bees produced the honey but they don’t talk much!”
Brian also set up a hive for one neighbor on the hill and plans to fill it later in the sum-mer with bees from one of the two colonies Brian had just restocked. When one of his new hives “splits” Brian will capture a new queen and takes a few frames of baby bees to his neigh-bor to begin a new colony.
Each hive generally supports about 20,000 to 40,000 bees in summertime.
Like his bees, Brian has been busy!
We toured his cabinet-making workshop, viewing frames filled with honey from a previous season. We also were able to see his latest project: building glass observation hives he intends to install inside his home and be able to watch the hives’ activity from the comfort of the couch
like living art. “Beekeeping is a constant
learning process. I love it! Watching and learning. They are an amazing little society! Hu-mans could learn a lot!” Brian said, handing me a jar of his raw honey.
“Even when CCD (colony collapse disorder) left me with empty hives three out of four winters, making it necessary to begin with a new colony of bees the following spring, I never quit! Our efforts in our own backyards and those of friends and family are very important to the big picture.”
“Yum!” I said, dipping my finger back into the jar for a second time.
“I can see where this is going,” Brian said. “You kids better get in there before your mom gets it all,” Brian said with a grin, handing each of my kids a jar of his honey.
Brian often thinks about selling his honey at the Renton Farmers Market with his niece. But mostly he enjoys giving it away to family and friends. I love suggestions! If you know of people or places in Renton that surprise, delight and in-spire the community, drop me a line at [email protected]. Also follow Carolyn on her blog, www.pippimamma.com.
Bees face man-made challenges to survival
The Ossorios, Carolyn, Sophie, Amelia and Patrick, stand on top of Renton Hill at the home of beekeeper Brian Overman. Carolyn Ossorio
fyiOver the weekend, as i was writing my column,
i received a frantic email from beekeeper Brian Overman.
“Today the City of Renton just sprayed our hill and my hives are dying! i don’t mean to snivel to you, but this is a part of the ongoing battle, nationwide, of pesticides. My hives are definitely affected, dead and dying bees all over the place.”
i spoke with Ron Straka, utility engineering supervisor for the City of Renton and explained Brian’s concerns and received this email.
The following is the information about the spraying associated with the City of Renton Mosquito Abatement Program:
The city conducts an annual mosquito abate-ment program to control mosquitoes in the Talbot Hill area (east of SR-167, west of Talbot Road, south of i-405 and north of Valley Medical Center). The program started in 1990 due to a significant number of complaints from residents that live adjacent to the Panther Creek Wetlands imme-diately east of SR-167. The residents expect the city to conduct the program due to the mosquito population that emerges from the wetland area and migrates uphill into the neighborhood along the base of Talbot Hill, east of SR-167, between i-405 and Valley Medical Center. Treatment (spraying) is conducted weekly between May and September, as needed and if conditions allow (not raining or too windy). The treatments started this year on May 30. The awareness about the need to control mosquitoes has increased recently due to concerns about West Nile virus, which is spread by infected mosquitoes. However, there have been no human contracted cases of West Nile virus from mosquitoes in the King County area and possibly Western Washington. Treatment is applied in the upland areas, along the forested hillside, east of the Panther Creek Wetlands, in a very careful and controlled manner.

Anticavity Tip: Water consumption is the most effective way to slow cavity progression in children because of its natural ability to reduce intraoral acidity and cleanse the mouth. How much water is enough? As a general rule, the amount of water your child should consume (ounces) a day is equal to half their total body weight in pounds. Example: 28 pound child
= 14 ounces or 2 cups; 46 pound child = 23 ounces or 3 cups. For more information about how to keep your child’s mouth healthy, visit us online at www.akidsplacedentistry.com

“We all wanted to get to ‘yes,’” Mejlaender said. “We exhausted ourselves for months.”
But the city could not “get to yes” and this year’s fire-works will consist of smaller shells fired from closer to shore, which means they will not go as high in the air and there may be more obstructed views from homes that are used to being able to see the show.
“Instead of going 600 feet, it will go to 300 feet,” Mej-lander said.
However, Mejlaender said the costs of putting on the fireworks display have risen steadily in recent years, particularly in barge costs. So by using smaller shells and launching from land, the city was able to put more re-sources into the show itself, which Mejlaender said should be the bast ever.
“If you are in the park,” she added.Mejaelander said in the past the show has always catered
to those actual in the park, but this year it will be even more so, with a higher “saturation” of fireworks.
“For Coulon attendees we hope it’s the best show they’ve seen in a decade,” she said.
At 300 feet, the fireworks will still be exploding overhead at the height of a 30-story building, “But there is a differ-ence between 300 feet and 600 feet (in height),” Mejlaender said.
“This is not our preference,” she added. “We really tired.”The change is expected to be a permanent one. Last year,
more than 20,000 people visited Gene Coulon Memorial park on July 4.
During the event and for two weeks following, the city will be hosting a survey to gain resident feedback on the change. The survey will be available at the park on July 4 and on the city website after.
Reach Assistant Editor Brian Beckley at 425-255-3484, ext. 5054
While the fireworks are a big draw, they are not the only aspect of the city’s Fabulous 4th of July celebration.
The celebration will have something for everyone, including free children’s activities and face painting from noon to 8 p.m. sponsored by Coal Creek Family YMCA; stage entertainment from 1:30 to 9:30 p.m. sponsored by Sanctuary & The Reserve Apartments; and a professional fireworks display from the shores of the lake at 10 p.m.
More than 20,000 people enjoy the festivities in the park each year, with many more viewing the beautiful fireworks display from boats, canoes, kayaks, and several locations close to the park.

Ivar’s, Kidd Valley, and beachside concessions will be available all day in the park. Attendees are encouraged to join the city in “greening” Renton’s larger scale events by using the recycling receptacles in the park.

Personal fireworks are banned within the Renton city limits at all times and the ban will be actively enforced.
The success of Renton’s Fabulous 4th of July, Renton’s largest one-day event, can be attributed to the ongoing support of our event sponsors.

The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.
By DEAN A. RADFORD
A Kent woman in need of a birthday gift for a family member was arrested after she tried to steal children’s clothing from Fred Meyer on Rainier Avenue.
While she was being interviewed, two pairs of new shoelaces were sticking out of her coat pocket.
The woman had about $10 in cash. The officer asked for identification, but the 35-year-old woman said her purse had been stolen the day before. She didn’t file a police report.
She admitted the shoelaces belonged to Fred Meyer.
A store security officer told officers the woman collected clothes in the children’s department and the shoe department, concealing the items in a reusable shopping bag.
She was detained outside after she failed to pay for the items, valued at about $250.
She was taken to the regional jail, SCORE, and booked for investigation of third-degree theft.
Women threaten each otherTwo women, neighbors on Southeast
164th Street, have been threatening each other for weeks.
The argument apparently stemmed from damage to a mailbox,
in which a claim was filed in small-claims court.
The two women, ages 22 and 43, have used verbal assaults, including racial slurs, and death threats. Some of the exchanges were captured on a cell phone’s video cam-era, but the audio was poor.
The officer told the two women to stay away from each other as much as possible and try not to antagonize the other. They told the officer they would but blamed the other for the problems.
Man hits pregnant girlfriendA 22-year-old Renton man was cited for
fourth-degree, domestic-violence assault after his girlfriend, who is six-months pregnant, told an officer he had hit her in the face about 10 times.
The boyfriend had asked the victim whether she wanted a ride home; the 19-year-old preferred to be picked up by her parents.
The man grabbed the cell phone as she tried to call her parents. The two struggled over the phone and she was punched in the face. She said the man brought her to the ground and hit her several more times.
A woman inside the home where the
assault occurred outside didn’t call 911, because she told an officer she didn’t see a reason to call.
The man left, but he was cited and the case was referred to prosecutors for review.
Burglars take cash, jewelryCash and jewelry were taken and the
home’s bedrooms ransacked in a residen-tial burglary June 10 on Southeast 172nd Street.
The break-in occurred during the day when someone kicked in the front door. Damage was estimated at $300.
About $50 in cash was stolen and the resident was determining what jewelry was stolen.
Can’t grind into safeBurglars attempted but failed to grind
their way into the safe June 13 at Plum Delicious restaurant on Northeast Sunset Boulevard.
The burglars used a power cord to run the grinder, which apparently tripped three breakers in the business. The cord was continually moved from outlet to outlet to keep the grinder running.
Entered were the office, breakroom and pantry. A file cabinet was opened and vases were broken in the breakroom. A finger-print was found on the vase.
The burglars entered through a little-used rear door to the restaurant.Dean A. Radford can be reached at 425-255-3484, ext. 5050.

Hazen’s Jake Kolterman this week was named to the All State Baseball first team by the Washington State Baseball Coaches Associa-tion.
Kolterman, a junior, led the Highlanders to a 5-1 record in the games he pitched, with his only loss of the year - and the only loss of his high school
career - coming against Peninsula in the district playoffs.
Kolterman also holds the Hazen school record for strikeouts with 131.
The Highlanders went 13-1 this season and won the Seamount League Championship.
This season’s accom-plishments are even more impressive when you realize Kolterman played all year
with a torn labrum and bro-ken bone in his left, non-throwing, shoulder. He will be meeting with a surgeon this summer with surgery expected in the next few months.
Kolterman plans to begin looking at colleges in the fall.

The Seattle Rainmakers ultimate frisbee team pulled out a 24-22 win on the final game of the regular season versus the top-seeded Dogfish. Chock full of clutch 11th-hour performances, it was without a doubt their most cathartic victory of the season.
San Francisco was up 17-15 at the start of the fourth quarter. The Dogfish earned a break on the next point, stretching their lead to three. The two teams
traded points until Sam Harkness connected with Donnie Clark to give Seattle a break. A massive layout D by Reid Koss set up Clark for another score with an assist from BJ Sefton, tying the game at 20-20.
The two teams traded scores again before Sam Harkness intercepted a Dog-fish pass. Sprinting toward the sideline, cutter Jacob Speidel executed a perfect jab step.
BJ Sefton logged numer-ous layout catches and Donnie Clark caught three points in the fourth quarter alone, allowing Seattle to outscore San Francisco 9-5 in the period.
Earlier in the game was a different story. Seattle trailed all of the first three quarters; the first time the Rainmak-ers faced a deficit at home.
But a crowd of 710 was there to give the Rainmak-ers a decisive home field advantage.
The two teams square off in a playoff match in San Francisco June 29.

PNW MarketPlace!
Two Renton High School juniors and their teacher will travel abroad this sum-mer to help build schools for girls in Nicaragua, as part of the district’s first endeavor with service and education group, buildOn.
Kim-Dung Nguyen and Adji Adam MBaye, both 17, will travel with their teacher Robert Conway to Nicara-gua this summer to support efforts to give girls access to education in that country. They are doing the mission as part of Renton High’s chapter of buildOn.
That organization is fo-cused on breaking “the cycle of poverty, illiteracy and low expectations through service and education” in emerg-ing countries, according buildOn’s web site.
Both Kim and Adji moved to the U.S. in 2010: Kim from Vietnam and Adji from Senegal. They both speak eloquently about the opportunities that attend-ing a school in America provides them; a reason why they now live here instead of their birth country, a district press release states.
This mission, the girls say,
allows them to help others also have access to a better future.
Conway is the faculty ad-visor for the school’s newly created, buildOn club. The team will stay with host families in Nicaragua and hope to learn about life there and share their American experiences with those they meet.
This summer Conway and Renton High students will work to raise money for more students to travel abroad next summer to build more schools.
BuildOn is currently building schools in Haiti, Malawi, Mali, Nepal, Nicaragua, and Senegal by providing the funding, engineering, materials, skilled labor and supervi-sion. The village provides a gender balanced leadership team, volunteer labor and a promise that girls will attend the school in equal numbers with boys.
If interested in contribut-ing to these efforts or for more information, contact Conway at [email protected].
