MakIng a stand In north renton
BY DEAN A. RADFORD
It seems that Renton is going to have to share the title of world headquarters for Boeing’s Commercial Airplanes Division with the rest of Puget Sound.
At least that’s not Chi-cago, where Boeing’s corporate executives planted their flag in 2001 on the city’s Near West Side, leaving Seattle and environs feel-
ing jilted. They were looking for a more central location for their global company.
Now, sometime this spring, James Albaugh, the division’s presi-dent and CEO, will plant his flag in downtown Seattle, taking with him about 80 employees now at the headquarters building at Boeing’s Longacres complex in Renton.
He’s also looking for more space and a more central loca-tion between Everett and Renton. About 2,000 Boeing employees will remain at Longacres, part of the company’s total Renton payroll of about 13,000.
A Boeing spokesman said it would be incorrect to say that the headquarters for the commercial division is now in Seattle. The
headquarters won’t reside in any one build-ing, he says.
“It’s best to consider the headquarters as Puget Sound,” said the spokesman, Tom

George and Sally Daniels have enjoyed their restored 1902 home in the North Renton neighborhood since 1989, an area dominated by single-family homes.
George Daniels does have questions about the future of North Renton.
The question weighing most heavily on his mind is whether the density of the area will change North Renton from a bedroom community to the piled-high likes of downtown Bellevue.
Other residents in the area express similar concerns.
When posed with this question, City of Renton planners Chip Vincent and Angie Mathias shake their heads and answer no, the residential character of the neighborhood is not changing to the density of downtown Bellevue.
“It’s really about making it a quality, livable, single-family neighborhood because there’s been a lot of issues with incompatible development in the past,” said Vincent.
Instead, the two offer the City Center Community Plan adopted summer 2011
as proof of the city’s direction, which includes the future of North Renton.
“We’ve got provisions within this plan that speak directly to creating rules that

Are bad teeth hereditary?Cavities are not just caused by a lack of brushing and flossing or by eating too much candy. A genetic predisposition to cavities can be passed from parent to child. These genetic predispositions include enamel strength, saliva acidity and intraoral bacteria composition.

Although John Houston grew up in one of the first African-Amer-ican families in Renton, he says he can relate to the issues of some of the city’s diverse population of teens today.
Houston grew up on a pig farm in the Highlands at a time when much of that area was woods.
The fact that his family was poor while most of his friends’ parents worked for Boeing, coupled with the racism he experienced grow-ing up in the predominantly white area, all contributed to him turning to drugs and alcohol to numb the pain.
Today Houston works as a school counselor and coach for the Renton School District, sharing his experi-ences as a recovering addict.
Houston hopes to uplift teenag-ers facing similar circumstances with plans to open the Renton Youth Advocacy Center in the Tif-fany Park neighborhood.
“It’s funny,” Houston said. “There’s Fairwood there and there’s the Cascade area, but there’s also a lot of low-income apartments in that area.”
Because the Fairwood neigh-borhood is considered to be more affluent, Houston said he can relate to the kids living next door to and going to school with such contrasts in household incomes.
Tiffany Park and Cascade elementary schools both have a student population of more than 50 percent needing free or reduced meals. Lindbergh High School has 36.3 percent needing free or reduced meals.
“So, there’s a lot of kids in that area who need that uplifting and knowing that they can come out of that poverty,” Houston said.
He envisions the center to pro-vide mentoring, tutoring, counsel-ing and offer kids a recreational alternative to hanging out and getting in trouble.
He quotes statistics from the YMCA that say “teens who do not participate in after-school programs are nearly three times more likely
to skip classes or use marijuana or other drugs.” It goes on to say “they are also more likely to drink alco-hol, smoke cigarettes and engage in sexual activity.”
Houston is awaiting approval from the City of Renton to house the Renton Youth Advocacy Center in a building at Tiffany Park.
Its hours of operation would be after school until about 7:30 p.m. or 8 p.m.
He feels that the hours of op-eration and his bank of volunteers being teachers, business owners, police officers and counselors set him apart from other programs in Renton.
Having a diverse array of adult volunteers he said is “huge.”
It allows kids to relate to different
people, adults who’ve finished high school, college or technical school and makes them realize they can do it also, he said.
One of those volunteers is Sgt. David Skelton with the Renton Police Department.
Skelton grew up with Houston in the Highlands. He has known him through his years as a star athlete at Hazen High School, to his troubles with addiction to coming full circle as a counselor to kids today.
“John’s a guy who grew up in Renton and as such has a lot of support from the Renton com-munity,” Skelton said in an email. “He’s a great friend of mine who cares about what he is doing for the youth and brings a much needed resource to Renton. While the
Renton Youth Advocacy Center is in its beginning stages, I support his efforts – you won’t find a more dedicated individual.”
Houston counsels students with drug and alcohol issues at Renton’s Lindbergh and Sartori schools and Newport High School outside the district.
The kids he sees at Newport, even the minority students, who are involved with drugs and alcohol, usually still go on to succeed, he said.
“But, I see kids here in Renton, mostly Hispanic, mostly African American, who just continue to fail,” Houston said.
Because of his background, Houston said, being involved with youth for positive changes in their lives is a dream come true for him.
“I get to give back to the Renton community,” he said. “It sounds corny, but I love the city of Renton. I grew up here.”
Houston has had the idea for the center for four years but just got going with the project about two years ago.
He is working with the city’s Community and Economic Devel-opment Department and Parks and Recreation to use the Tiffany Park building.
Keith Fekete is a school resource officer at Lindbergh with the Renton Police Department. He is also on the board of the Renton Youth Advocacy Center.
“The Cascade area of Renton is lacking this type of center for the youth,” Fekete said. “In fact there are no places for the youth of south Renton to hang out. Our vision is to open a place that youth can go to after school, when their parents might be at work or they are look-ing for something to do.”
Although the volunteers are not paid, Houston and others involved in the project will work on grants for funding supplies and equipment soon.
Houston hopes they will be up and running by mid-March.
Renton Youth Advocacy Center is a non-profit organization. For more information or to donate visit www.rentonyac.org.

The City of Renton is recruiting volunteers to be part of the city’s Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT).
CERT is a nationwide all-hazards disaster preparedness program created by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. It is part of the national Citizens Corps program to increase pre-paredness through volunteerism.
CERT volunteers work with the fire department to better prepare the community to respond to disasters.
This year the city has expanded the opportunities available for training and education and is of-fering the following, according to a City of Renton press release.
• Spring 2012 CERT Academy: Wednesdays, 6 to 9 p.m., March 21 - May 5, 2012, City of Renton Fire Station 14, 1900 Lind Ave. S.W., Renton.
The spring 2012 CERT Acade-my will begin on March 21, 2012, and registration is now open for this session. CERT graduates receive 24 hours of training in fire suppression, search and rescue, first aid, disaster psychology and team organization, and partici-pate in a disaster simulation on Saturday May 5.
CERT-trained individuals are able to work as part of a team in their neighborhood in order to meet the needs of residents after
a disaster. Classes are taught by fire department personnel and local experts. The cost is $25 for Renton residents and $30 for non-residents. To register go to rent-onwa.gov, click on the recreation division and then on cybersignup.

“Emergency volunteers are a tremendous asset to our com-munity,” said Deborah Needham, Emergency Management Direc-tor. “During the recent winter storm, our emergency volunteers - the Renton Emergency Commu-nication Service and CERT mem-bers - were some of the unsung heroes of the city’s response. They helped their neighbors, provided real-time weather and road condi-tion information, posted shelter information in different languages at each of our schools, and took an active role with social media. Last year, they contributed nearly 5,000 hours of volunteer service to the city.”

Renton suffered $225,105 in damages from the January snow storm and ice storm, part of a $32.3 million reimbursement request Gov. Chris Gregoire has submitted to the federal government.
Gregoire last week asked Presi-dent Obama to declare a federal disaster area in 11 Washington counties for damages and emergen-cy response costs suffered during January’s severe winter storm.
About $5,500 is related to damage to the netting at the Maplewood Golf Course. The rest includes contract labor costs for tree removal and overtime costs to remove snow, woody debris and other impacts from the storm, par-
ticularly from the public works and fire department.
The Renton figure does not in-clude straight labor costs.
“The snow and ice that hit our state last month left widespread damage to public utility systems and roads,” Gregoire said in a news release. “It also placed a heavy financial burden on local juris-dictions for debris removal and emergency response at a time when the state, cities and counties face shrinking operational budgets. I’m hopeful we get the financial help necessary to quickly recover from the January storm.”
Preliminary state and federal damage assessments found an estimated $32.3 million in po-tential eligible damage across the state caused by snow, freezing
rain, power outages, rain, fallen trees and limbs, avalanches, falling ice, landslides and storm debris. Gregoire’s request seeks federal di-saster aid for public facility damage in 11 counties — Clallam, Grays Harbor, King, Klickitat, Lewis, Ma-son, Pierce, Skamania, Snohomish, Thurston and Wahkiakum.
If the declaration is approved, the resulting Federal Emergency Management Agency public assis-tance grants will cover 75 percent of the eligible disaster-related costs, such as repair or replacement of property, debris removal and emergency protective measures, according to the news release.
Gregoire proclaimed an emer-gency in the state on Jan. 18 because of the winter storm condi-tions.

Board president shows fiscal responsibility
As I read the Editor’s Note and Mr. Sul-livan’s letter to the editor (Renton Reporter, Feb. 24, 2012) regarding the UW alliance and Dr. Paul Joos’ commentary regarding same, I have to comment that as part of the community served by Valley, we are very appreciative of Dr. Joos’ first being elected to the board and his stand on thoroughly investigating this UW/Valley alliance.
I do not believe Dr. Joos is exhibiting
“petty politics” by taking a more conserva-tive stand. After living in Renton since 1974, my husband and I have been dis-mayed about the rubber stamping propen-sity of the former Valley boards for spend-ing, sometimes foolishly, of the taxpayer’s dollars.
Dr. Joos is a breath of fresh air and fiscal responsibility as well as a fine eye doctor to us both. This was the first hospital board election we both were excited about in many a year.Jeanie BaurichterRenton
Citizens should be aware of – and opposed to – House Bill 2801 and the provisions that would allow local governments to cease publishing public notices in their local newspapers. The presumed cost savings to local government is in fact
false economy – there is a hidden and very dangerous cost. In trying to save money, local governments would curtail access to the legis-lative process, and ensure that fewer – rather than more – citizens know what their representatives are up to.
The publishing of public notices in newspapers of record dates to 1789, when the first Congress required publication of its bills, orders, resolutions and votes in at least three generally available newspapers. The founders recognized that government should not be the gatekeepers of its own information. So their purpose was to require government to report its actions to citizens in a medium independent of government influence or control: the newspaper.
It was good policy then, and it remains good policy today.Publishing legal notices in a newspaper of record ensures that
decisions related to public debt, ordinances and laws, zoning, taxa-tion and quality of life – all matters of compelling and perpetual public interest – are made with transparency. Legal notices em-power the public to get involved in the process. And they contribute to a reservoir of archived material in a form that cannot be altered, changed, hacked, hidden or manipulated after the fact. This would simply not be true of notices published exclusively online.
In publishing public notices in newspapers of record, local gov-ernment acknowledges that government itself carries the burden of keeping citizens informed, and that it will not shift that burden to the citizens themselves to go hunting for information. To that end, the local, general-interest newspaper remains the vehicle with the widest reach to the widest cross-section of the community. And we can prove it.
Sound Publishing, the owner of the Renton Reporter, alone reaches 700,000 Washington households through our print publications. Our colleagues from newspaper organizations around the state maintain commensurately broad distribu-
tion within their own communities. This is not “theoretical” reach, a “potential” audience that may or may not find its way to notices posted on a government website. This is actual reach, to readers who are active and interested and engaged in the community around them – and most certainly in local government affairs.
Not all citizens have computers, or smartphones, and not all have access to the web. Indeed, there are cost barriers to entry into, and participation in, today’s world of digital communication.
But anyone – everyone – can at any time go down to the public library or the coffee shop, pick up the community newspaper and find out through the public notices what their government is up to. Affordable, egalitarian and very popular, general interest newspa-pers provide precisely what government needs most – a direct and demonstrable conduit to its citizens.
This issue really comes down to a philosophical question: Should government take its information to the people, or should govern-ment make the people come looking for that information, through a maze of agency and departmental websites?
We believe – and we are confident Washington citizens agree – that government at ALL levels has an affirmative obligation to take its information to the people – to make that extra effort, to ensure that public notices are not just “available,” but also widely seen and widely read.
House Bill 2801 flouts that obligation, and it should be rejected. The Legislature had the wisdom to dismiss similar legislation last session, and should demonstrate that same wisdom today.

Welcome to Renton, headquarters of Boeing Commercial Airplanes
Renton Letter to the editor
I am just going to put this out there.The world heaquarters of Boeing’s Com-
mercial Airplanes is still in Renton. Yah, yah, it makes a difference where
a CEO plants the company flag. James Albaugh is moving to a Seattle ‘scraper with some of his other executive and business staff.
But the men and women who build Boe-ing’s most-popular jetliner ever, the 737, are in Renton. Generations before them built the 757, the 727 and the grandfather of them all, the 707.
It’s OK that Albaugh and his sales team wine and dine prospective clients at Seattle’s fine restaurants, although, frankly it seems he’s been doing pretty well with sales with-
out moving to Seattle.Does this feel the same
as when Boeing’s corpo-rate executives decamped to Chicago? Maybe a little bit. Albaugh will still have an office at Longacres and in Everett, too.
I kinda buy Boeing’s explanation that the division is headquar-tered in Puget Sound, given its widespread production facilities. That seems a bit nebu-lous, if not watery.
Am I making too big a deal about this? Maybe so. But in the Renton Reporter, we’ll still write Renton-based Commercial Airplanes.

Renton Rotary Club has selected their Teachers of the Month for Febraury.
• Jennifer Koch is an eighth-grade language arts teacher at McKnight Middle School.
Koch attended Georgia State University in Atlanta, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in middle childhood education with language arts and social studies concentrations. Before becoming a teacher, Koch was a district manager and customer service trainer for a medical insurance company. She has been teaching in Renton for five years.
• Carolyn Stephens is a third-grade teacher at Renton Park Elementary. Carolyn attended Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, where she earned a bachelor’s
degree in elementary education. She then attended City University in Seattle, where she earned a master’s degree in reading curriculum development. Stephens has been a teacher in Renton for 20 years.
The teachers are invited to attend a recognition luncheon held at the Maplewood Golf Course. Each teacher also receives $200 to be used for classroom supplies or instructional materials.
State Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn has called high schools in the Renton School District trailblazers for employ-ing the use of technology in the classroom.
The schools got the high praise because high school students in the district are learning more about technology and are more proficient at using programs in Microsoft Op-erating Systems than other students in the state, according to a district press release.
The students are involved in what’s called Microsoft IT Academy.
Microsoft and Washington state launched a public-private partner-ship in September to deploy the academy.
It provides students with future-ready technology skills needed to be successful in college and career, a district release stated.
All of the state’s 703 high schools were presented the Microsoft IT Academy program, the largest implementation of its kind in the country.
While all high schools in the state were offered the program, it is not known how many actually decided to implement it, Randy Matheson, Renton School District spokesper-
son said.Renton students in the academy
get equal access to technology, training skills and certification in using Microsoft programs.
This past fall, Renton teachers began developing curriculum to support the Microsoft Operating System certification process.
In just a few months, hundreds of district high school students have become proficient in the use of the programs and are passing Microsoft certification exams.
Teachers expect to double the number of students passing certifi-cation exams in the spring semester.
According to the U.S. Depart-ment of Labor, by 2018 there will be more than 1.2 million jobs available in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) related fields, the district release stated.
The Microsoft IT Academy prepares students for a number of careers or for higher education and provides a technical path for stu-dents interested in pursuing an IT career, such as database administra-tion or software development. The program also strengthens Washing-ton’s position as a technology hub and attracts top companies to the state’s pool of technology talent.

King Conservation District (King CD) will launch its second successive supervi-sor election allowing more than 1.1 mil-lion voters to securely cast a ballot online from anywhere in the world.
One candidate, Christopher “Kit” Ledbetter of Issaquah, is on the ballot for Position 3 on King CD’s board of supervi-sors.
King CD, based in Renton, is one of 47 conservation districts in Washington State, with oversight from the Washington State Conservation Commission, an agency created to assist and guide conservation district activities in Washington State.
Individuals registered to vote in King County (excluding residents of cities that
are not members of the King Conservation District: Enumclaw, Federal Way, Milton, Pacific and Skykomish) are eligible to vote.
Web-based voting will take place during a 15-day period through midnight March 13. Once again managing and conducting the election is Election Trust LLC of Bel-levue and Scytl USA of Baltimore, M.D.
Election Trust, in response to voter feedback from last year’s election, has worked with Scytl to streamline this year’s online voting process, according to a press release from the conservation district.
While voters must still submit a signed paper affidavit to authenticate their web ballot, unlike last year, the 2012 voting experience is a one-step process in which
qualified voters can apply for and cast a ballot during one short computer session.
Visit www.kingcd.org for more informa-tion on the election as well a link to begin the online voting process.
For those voters without internet access, computer voting will be available at the King Conservation District office week-days through March 12, 9 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on March 13. The King CD office is at 1107 SW Grady Way, Suite 130, Renton.
Otherwise, voters needing a computer and internet access are also encouraged to visit their local library – many King County Library System locations and the Downtown Seattle Public Library will have
a 2012 King CD Supervisor Voter Guide available for reference.
King CD initiated the online voting alternative following the November, 2010 revisions in rules governing conservation district elections in Washington State.
The King CD provides information and technical assistance programs that are available to all landowners within the district’s boundaries on a voluntary, non-regulatory basis. King CD programs are hands-on, site specific, action and results oriented; and it initiates community outreach activities that include workshops, education programs, site visits, farm plans, and consultation on land, water, and wild-life management.

The King County Agriculture Commis-sion on March 8 will hold a panel discus-sion with local farmers who are successfully operating small farms in the region.
Small farms, market gardens and urban farms impact on jobs, local food security and sustainability in King County.
The commission meets 4-7 p.m. on March 8, at the Watershed Science Center at the Issaquah Fish Hatchery, 125 W. Sun-set Way, Issaquah. The panel discussion will begin at 5:30 p.m.
“I want to show aspiring new farmers that they can get started now with intensive specialty crops in creative ways right in the city,” said panelist Nicole Capizzi of Ama-ranth Urban Farm in south Seattle.
Capizzi will be joined by Siri Erickson-Brown of Local Roots Farm, and Matt Tre-goning of Sol to Seed Farm, who are new farmers in the Snoqualmie Valley. Each operates successful farms and sells at farm-ers markets and to subscribers through Community Supported Agriculture.
Joining the panel discussion will be long-time Agriculture Commissioner Michaele Blakely of Growing Things Farm. Farming since 1989, Blakely’s current operation sits on 30 acres of preserved farmland where Growing Things Farm raises poultry and livestock, along with growing a wide variety of produce.
More information about the meeting is available by calling Claire Dyckman, 206-296-1926, or [email protected].

For whatever reason a parent might have in mind to disinherit a child, he or she should be cautioned that children who are omitted from wills are likely to sue for their inheritances. They are not likely to win their lawsuits, but their legal actions may well prove so costly to the other children that they find it less burdensome to settle with the disinherited sibling. With this in mind, parents who entertain thoughts of omitting children from their inheritance plans may want to think instead about putting the child’s share of the estate in trust. Then, the parents can spell out when and how their estranged child can get any money or income from the trust.
Writing wills, setting up trusts, and dealing with the controversial aspects of estate planning are all complex decisions that you shouldn’t undertake alone. I have more than 35 years of experience dealing with these sorts of legal issues revolving around estate planning and I can provide the compassionate advice you want along with insightful legal counsel you need. Call (425) 227-8700 to make an appointment today. I have offices conveniently located in Renton and Kent.
Committed to you and the community.

Brabant.Still, that is a change. The
commercial division was headquartered in north Renton for decades before it moved to the Longacres complex in the late 1990s.
Albaugh and corporate and business staff of the commercial division will occupy two floors (about 45,000 square feet) in the Russell Investment Centers on Second Avenue in downtown Seattle. It’s 42 stories; Boeing’s corporate headquarters is in a 36-sto-ry Chicago skyscraper.
Albaugh will maintain an office in Renton, where the ever-popular, single-aisle 737 is built, and in Everett, where Boeing’s two-aisle airplanes are built – the 767, 777, and now the 787 Dreamliner.
“He’ll spend a lot of time at both locations,” Brabant said.
Of course, Boeing has been in Renton a lot longer than in Everett, where the company in 1968 started building the 747, the world’s largest jetliner. That was roughly the same year Boeing started producing the 737 in Renton.
Boeing built its first airplane in Renton in 1941, an experimental flying boat used for reconnaissance. The jet age was launched in Renton, where Boeing produced its first-ever jet, the 707, in 1954.
In the 1970s the Renton Chronicle called Renton the “jet capital of the world” across the top of its front page.
Boeing has about 925,000 square feet of space at the two Longacres buildings on Oakesdale Avenue South-
west, but the company has outgrown the office space as its employee numbers have increased, Brabant said.
The 80 or so employees moving to Seattle from Renton will include such front-office departments as sales and customer support, communications and mar-keting, business develop-ment, human resources and the legal and financial departments.
And it makes sense to have executives in down-town Seattle, where airplane customers typically stay, Brabant said.
Mayor Denis Law said Boeing hasn’t asked for any additional space, other than at the 737 production plant.
A Seattle business blog-ger put the decision to rent space in Seattle this way when it was initially an-nounced last year:
“Part of the reason for the addition is that the Boeing (NYSE: BA) Renton-Tukwila commer-cial airplanes headquarters building, while modern, is in the middle of a relative wasteland in terms of res-taurant and hotel amenities for airline executives and highly placed government officials who make aircraft purchase decisions.”
Law offered an alterna-tive view.
“While I wouldn’t define the headquarters area as a wasteland, it clearly doesn’t have hotels or restaurants in the immediate vicinity,” he said. “The ‘wasteland’ certainly is good enough for the regional headquarters of the Federal Reserve Bank and a new facility for Bank of America.”Dean A. Radford can be reached at 425-255-3484.

make development happening around that North Renton neighborhood transi-tion in phases through using good design standards a lot better.”
Vincent is the city’s planning director and Mathias is the senior planner on the project.
The North Renton neighborhood can expect to have its residential character preserved and enhanced, according to the 20-year City Center Community Plan.
Listening to Vincent and Mathias explain the plan, residents of the neigh-borhood can also expect to see added amenities.
For example, in the North Renton
neighborhood an en-hanced Park Avenue eas-ily traversed by different types of transportation is planned.
The avenue is to be a more lively and devel-oped connector between South Renton and North Renton to The Landing.
The idea of a streetcar along Park Avenue has been floated, along with plans to pos-sibly change the zoning along the street to allow small-scale, mixed-use buildings.
The other amenity planned in North Renton specifically is a greenway prom-enade on the Cedar River corridor.
The City Center Community Plan was developed during a two-year period and the process involved gathering commu-nity feedback from neighborhood picnics, meetings and online surveys.
It is a plan for more than just the North Renton neighborhood; it covers the down-town Renton core and peripheral areas.
Currently, Mayor Denis Law and the City Council are appointing members to a City Center Community Planning Advi-
sory Board.Recently, the council
approved an ordinance for the creation of the ad-visory board that would decide how to prioritize all the parts of the City Center Community Plan.
The board could be fully staffed within a
month.An improved, more-integrated trans-
portation system in the city center, a greener city center and better quality development are the high-level take-away points of the overall City Center Commu-nity Plan, said Vincent.
Vincent and Mathias are confident the plan reflects what the community wants, because of the feedback they have received through the extensive process.
If anything they heard that residents wanted more opportunities for green space and environmental projects like community gardens and pathways that accommodate various modes of transpor-

you really didn’t hear what we said at all,’” said Mathias of community feedback and insight.
The challenges to all of the development plans in North Renton and beyond remain resources, said Vincent.
That means funds as well as time, but Vincent and Mathias are excited about the appointments to the advisory board.
“We are going to be appointing a large number of people who are stakeholders in the community to really empower them to help us implement the plan,” Vincent said.

The following was compiled based on City of Renton Police reports.
By TRACEy COMPTON
A 16-year-old boy was expelled from all Renton city parks for soliciting sex from community center visitors on Feb. 14.
A staff member at the Renton Community Cen-ter, 1715 Maple Valley Highway, made the report to police at about 4:15 p.m.
She told police that a customer of the center told her the boy was soliciting other men in the shower of the men’s restroom for sex.
Apparently, this wasn’t the first time the boy had done this. Police caught up with the boy after he left the center. He denied any wrongdoing, but was iden-tified with his high school ID card.
Police expelled him from all city parks for 360 days.
Custody expchange turns violentA child-custody exchange turned violent on Feb. 14.
The ex-couple were supposed to meet at a grocery store on Northeast Fourth Street, when an assault oc-curred just after 9 p.m.
The 20-year-old mother showed up to the exchange with their 2-year-old son, her mother and a camcord-er because she feared something bad would happen.
When she excited her vehicle with the camcorder, her 26-year-old ex-boyfriend came up and hit her in the head with it.
He demanded his son and threw the camcorder onto the parking lot.
The 2-year-old, who saw the incident, was put in the back of the man’s car.
The woman was driven to Valley Medical Center to have her injuries checked out.
Police were still investigating the incident to deter-mine what type of charge to file.
Officer scares off would-be burglarPolice scared off a would-be burglar at a local busi-
ness on Feb. 15.An officer was driving east in the 3300 block of
Northeast Fourth Street block when they noticed a suspicious male outside of Aces Tennis.
The business had long since closed by just after midnight.
The suspect made several suspicious moves and the officer began to follow him. Once the officer acti-vated his lights, the suspect took off on foot.
The suspect got away and the officer went back to the business to inspect the entrance.
The officer discovered fresh pry marks on the door frame.

Larry S. KraftLarry S. Kraft of Orting was abruptly called into eternity
to be with his Lord on February 12, 2012 in Chula Vista, California. He was born on November 19th, 1941 in Idaho Falls, Idaho. He is survived by his beloved wife, Nancy, his children and their spouses, True, Kim, Steve Sanders (Krista) and Stacy Wells (Dave), and his grandchildren, Chance and Cody, Cayla, Conner, McKenzie, Lacie and Averie. The third of the five Kraft brothers, he will be profoundly missed by them and their wives Don, Wayne (Nancy), Jerry (Bridgett) and Rich (Judy). He will also be deeply missed by he and Nancy’s best friends, Dave and Diane Payne.
When Larry would first meet his daughter’s prospective boyfriends, he would ask, “Can you fix things?” In his thirty year career as an industrial arts teacher in the Renton school district, he taught hundreds of young people to fix things, and as a father, grandpa, brother and friend he taught everyone to fix the things that were broken in their own lives. Larry took enormous joy in fully engaging in life and loved his family above all else. He was never one to pretend to be anyone but who he was, and found nothing but amusement in those who thought themselves superior.
After retirement, he and Nancy put all their energy into family, going to all the grandkid’s soccer games, gathering with the brothers whenever possible, spending time at their home in Orting, taking motorcycle trips and cruises with his brothers and their wives, and spending the winters in San Diego with dear friends. Larry was a man who could never be too close to those he loved, who always had room in his home and heart for more, and who never forgot that loved ones are God’s greatest
blessing in this life.589648

The City of Renton Police Department, like other police agencies in the region, has increased police patrols in neighborhoods because of a dramatic increase in residen-tial burglaries.
Burglaries have occurred in various cities across King County and are not localized to any one specific area or neighborhood, according to a City of Renton news release. A significant number of residential burglaries occur during the day when families are at work.
“These burglaries are very concerning,” said Mayor Denis Law. “We’ve increased police patrols in our neigh-borhoods and are offering homeowners a free security survey by city staff. But it’s important that the public call 911 immediately if they see any suspicious activity in their neighborhood.”
Suspicious activity could be some-one prowling around the parking lot, walking back and forth in front of a particular home, or simply somebody loitering outside without an obvious direction of travel, according to the city.
A common tactic for burglars is to approach a home and if nobody responds to their knocking or bell-ringing, burglars will force open the door or go around to a more isolated location to gain entry. Call 911 even if unsure whether something is afoot.
The Renton Police Department is also offering free security surveys to Renton residents. During the security survey, a crime prevention program coordinator provides information on the most likely risks for residents and how to minimize those; how burglars operate and how simple preventive methods can help prevent a break-in; insight to the appropriate use of alarms, and other prevention techniques and explain how these should be integrated to provide an effective security strategy.
To schedule a security survey of a home, contact Cyndie Parks at [email protected], or call 425-430-7521.
Tips to protect your homeHere are some basic tips to help make your home more
secure against burglars:• Deadbolts: Install a deadbolt and secure the strikeplate
(metal plate that houses the bolt) with at least 3” screws that penetrate the stud frame around your door.
• Windows/Sliders: Place dowels (wooden sticks) flush in the track of all your sliding windows and sliding glass doors. Close the blinds or curtains, or make sure valuable items are out of view.
• Security Film: For vulnerable windows and glass doors attach security film to the glass. Security film is a thin poly-ester sheet that when properly attached to a glass door or window can make the glass up to 300 percent stronger.
• Landscaping: Foliage should be kept thinned and cut back away from windows, doors, and patios/porches.
• Alarms: It’s less common for burglars to target homes where there is an alarm. An alarm increases the risk for burglars to be seen by someone and/or possibly arrested.
