The City of Renton is preparing to make some changes to its photo enforcement program, including setting cameras at three additional elementary schools and at the intersection of Benson and Petrovitsky, for red-light emphasis.
The City Council’s Public Safety Committee on Monday heard a report from Clark Wilcox, commander of Renton
Police Department’s Patrol Services Divi-sion on the changes.
The city is looking to add school-zone cameras at Honey Dew Elementary on Union Avenue Northeast, Cascade Elementary School on 116th Avenue Southeast and Benson Hill Elementary, also on 116th Avenue Southeast.
According to studies completed by American Traffic Solutions, the company that handles the city’s traffic camera
contract, 19 percent of the 1,123 vehicles that passed through the Honey Dew school zone during the morning commute were traveling faster than 26 mph in the 20 mph zone. In the afternoon, it jumped to 23 percent of cars speeding through the zone.

The body of Dr. Mitch Hungate, a long-time Renton dentist, was found by searchers on Granite Mountain on
Snoqualmie Pass early Wednesday morning.
Hungate was killed when an avalanche swept him away on April 13. Poor weather conditions and high avalanche danger had prevented
rescue teams from safely continuing the search.
His family and friends were at the King County Sheriff ’s Office com-mand post just off Initerstate 90 when his body was found, about halfway
down the avalanche, according to Sgt. Cindi West, a spokeswoman for the Sheriff ’s Office.
Hungate, who lives in the Lake Tapps area, had practiced in Renton for about 30 years .

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

Two teenage boys were injured, one seriously, late on the after-noon on May 9 when they tried to cross heavily congested Northeast Fourth Street in the Highlands and were hit by a vehicle, accord-ing to the Renton Police Depart-ment.
The two teenagers, who are 13 and 14 and both students at McKnight Middle School, were crossing in the 3700 block of Northeast Fourth Street from the north at about 4:50 p.m. when a man eastbound on Fourth Street
hit them, according to police. The driver wasn’t injured.
One teen suffered serious injuries to his head and body and was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle in serious condi-tion, according to police.
The second teen was taken to Overlake Hospital in Bellevue for treatment of injuries.
The Renton Police Traffic Unit is investigating the accident.
In response to the accident last week, the city has received multiple calls for a new crosswalk in the area.
Carolyn Bynum, who lives in the area and said she is “forced to take unsafe measures” to cross
the busy street when she gets on and off the bus to go to work, on Monday presented the City Coun-cil with a petition signed by about 100 residents asking for a new crosswalk at Northeast Fourth and Queen Avenue, near where the accident took place.
Bynum said the nearest cross-walk to the bus stop is two blocks in either direction, which causes people to “put their lives at risk every day” when crossing the street.
City officials said they were looking into the possibility of a new crosswalk.
“Our transportation staff is looking into the request, as well
as analyzing information and options to provide the best, safest options for the area,” said City Administrator Jay Covington Wednesday in an email. “We’ll be working this over the next few weeks and developing options and a possible recommendation for the Council to consider.”
According to Renton School District Spokesperson Randy Matheson, McKnight Middle School, where both boys attend the eighth grade, has been in con-tact with the families and received updates of the boy’s injuries and recovery.
The families were busy with helping the boys through recovery
and requested that visitation to the hospital be minimal. McK-night principal Craig Cooper communicated with staff about the injuries and provided infor-mation on how to handle student inquires.
School staff has reiterated to students the importance of being safe when out in the community and crossing busy streets.
There is no word yet on wheth-er there will be any fundraisers for the boys.

This weekend’s 11th An-nual Piazza Spring Festival has even more offerings for families, thanks to local business, Rely On Renton.
Saturday’s springtime celebration in the heart of downtown Renton will feature handmade arts and crafts, the Downtown Renton Poker Run and a new Family Fair hosted by Rely On Renton in the Pavilion Event Center.
“It’s narrow but diverse,” said Liddle of the scope of resources offered in the fair.
The Family Fair will fea-ture a collection of resourc-es for families with children age 2 to 14, from Renton businesses and nonprofits. There will be something for everyone, from informa-tion on preschools to after school programs for teens. More than 30 organizations
will be represented in the Family Fair. Most of the booths will have freebies, crafts and activities for kids.
Outside of Renton Pavil-ion Event Center, 50 ven-dors will offer the city’s best in jewelry, clothing, items for children, furniture, cosmetics, food, and house-wares. Children’s entertain-er, Caspar Babypants, aka Chris Ballew of the band
Presidents of the United States of America, will perform on the event stage. He will be joined by other acts such as dance, martial arts, music, and jump-rope artists. There will be door prizes, and free gifts for the first 400 families who reg-ister. Local nonprofits, such as the Seattle International Film Festival, Renton and Sustainable Renton will be
at the festival. Renton Area Youth Services, Renton Youth Advocacy Center, and the Renton Parks and Recreation Department will be represented. Arts nonprofit Cry Out! will also perform. Food trucks, Bistro Box and Box On Wheels will also be at the festival. Retailer Eyes on The Landing is expected to do free vision screenings.
Rely On Renton was asked to help coordinate the Spring Festival with the Pi-azza group and brainstorm new ways to draw people to the event.
“We are a small business,” said Liddle. “We provide promotion for other locally owned businesses through our web site, social media and events.”
The goals of the organiza-tion are to connect Renton residents to local small businesses and nonprofits and to help businesses in
Renton connect to one another and work on col-laborating instead of just competing, she said.
Liddle, who operates Rely On Renton with her husband Ian, wants others to see the value of the city through the Spring Festival.
“It wasn’t the exciting draw that it was intended to be, so we started brainstorming ways that we could appeal to a new group of people,” she said. “Make it a really excit-ing and different event to bring more people into downtown, so they can realize what a beautiful and amazing place downtown Renton is. Because we really do think that it’s beautiful and amazing and has a bad reputation.”
The Liddles have a licens-ing relationship with the company Rely Local and use the company’s software to support Rely On Renton.
Fun, family resources, art at Spring Fest

Wilcox said.At Cascade, 30 percent of the 723 cars
in the morning and 29 percent of the 658 cars in the afternoon sped through the school zone.
At Benson Hill the numbers were even higher, with 37 percent of the 570 vehicles speeding in the morning and 31 percent of the 691 in the afternoon.
The study also looked at the areas in front of Highlands Elementary School and Sierra Heights Elementary, but Wilcox said the low number of violations at those two schools – due primarily to the high level of congestion through those areas – would not pay for the cost of the cameras and therefore the Police Department is
not recommending installing any there.The police are also requesting a small
amount of money – up to $6,000 – to place additional flashing lights around the camera at Talbot Hill. Wilcox said a common defense in the courts against the cameras is that the driver did not see the flashing lights, which are only on during certain parts of the day.
The idea behind the new lights, said Wilcox, is so that they will show up on the video reviewed by the courts so the judge will be able to see the lights flashing as the car drives through the zone.
Along with the school-zone changes, the city is also recommending a new red light camera at the Benson Road/Petro-visky Road/Southeast Carr Road intersec-tion.
During a one-day study by the city and ATS, there were 47 red light violations at that intersection.
In addition to adding the new cameras, the city is proposing to remove the camera from South Second Street in front of Rent-on High School, which would be replaced with additional patrols, as Wilcox said the issue there is less speeding and more jaywalking and student issues.
According to statistics provided by the police, the Renton High camera nets 45 vehicles per day.
Wilcox did say the police would expect the speeding numbers to drop precipi-tously after the cameras were installed, as has been the case at all other locations, meaning the cameras are working to make people slow down.
The changes should not cost the city any additional money, according to Chief Kevin Milosevich. In an email, Milosevich said the cost of each of the cameras will be made up by the revenues they create.
During the committee meeting, Milos-evich said the revenues from the cameras currently help fund several programs, in-cluding more than $1 million per year for the Police Department’s traffic division.
But along with the revenue that makes it to the city, there are still more than $2.8 million dollars in outstanding collections.
Councilman Don Persson, who chairs the Public Safety Committee, said he would like to see any additional revenue
from the cameras go not into youth pro-grams, as suggested by the police, but into attempts to collect the rest of the money the city is owed.
Part of the issue is that ATS databases do not link with the state Department of Licensing so no holds can be placed on plate renewals if the fines go unpaid, like they are for parking tickets, for example.
City Administrator Jay Covington also said the city is “beginning to explore” the possibility of bringing the traffic cameras in-house, but warned the cost to the city of administering the program may out-weigh the benefits.
A committee report was generated and approved by the council to allow the police to move forward, but the item was held in committee to allow for continu-ing updates. The new school cameras are expected to be in place for the beginning of the school year in September.
While the changes should cost the city no additional money and may bring in increased revenues, they certainly should make the school zones safer, according to Wilcox.
“That’s my whole goal,” Wilcox said. “Protect our children, protect our citi-zens.”

Though the federal budget sequester has led to delayed flights at major passenger airports, things are continuing as usual at Renton Municipal Field.
For now.The airport is, however,
among 149 smaller airports around the country that are facing a shutdown of their tower on June 15 without a move of Congress.
But a pair of letters - one from each house - to FAA Chair Ray LaHood make it clear the legislators intend to keep those airports open.
The City of Renton has also joined a lawsuit request-ing a stay on the closures, which City Administrator Jay Covington said remains the city’s primary focus on the issue.
“We continue to just prepare along with the other cities,” Covington said Monday.
Since the city filed its suit April 3, furloughs for FAA-staffed airports, have gone into effect and Congress has appropriated funds to cover the furloughs and main-tain the towers at the small airports set for closure.
This week, both houses of Congress reiterated in let-ters their intentions for the additional money appropri-ated as part of the Reducing Flight Delays Act of 2013 to be used to avert air-traffic-controller furloughs also be used to keep open the 149 towers set for closure.
“We urge you to ensure that in addition to ending furlough for 47,000 FAA employees, the agency agency also end the planned closure of 149 contract tow-ers,” reads the letter signed by 41 senators.
“Many members of Con-gress expressed concerns regarding the FAA’s decision to close 149 contract air traffic control towers,” reads the letter form the House of
Representatives. “To ensure responsible action by FAA and DOT, and to ensure the safety and efficiency of our skies, the Congress has di-rected this reprogramming of funds by law.
“We expect to hear very soon how the FAA and DOT will take immedi-ate steps to fund the 149 contract air traffic control towers,” it concludes.
The House letter is signed by 83 representatives.
Both letters are dated May 2. The additional money would allow the tower to remain open through September, the end of the federal government’s fiscal year.
The Renton airport is the sixth-busiest airport in the state, based on takeoffs and landings. Hundreds of Boe-
ing 737s take off from the airport every year.
In March, the FAA an-nounced it would eliminate funding for these towers as part of the agency’s required $637 million budget cuts under sequestration. The City of Renton has indi-cated that it doesn’t have the money to operate the tower.

Medical experts say eating a Mediterranean diet that’s high in fruits, vegetables, nuts, olive oil and fish is one of the best things we can do to reduce our risk of heart attack and stroke. Eating more fish and other seafood is a healthy choice as long as those foods don’t come from polluted waters. We think the state of Washington needs to make sure our waters stay clean.
Washington uses one of the lowest fish con-sumption rates in the country – about 6.5 grams a day, or one 8-ounce fish meal a month – to set rules for how much pollution that industry can put in our waters. That rate is supposed to protect us from more than 100 toxins that can make us sick or kill us, but it was set more than
20 years ago. Even the state Department of Ecology rec-ognizes that the inaccurate rate does not protect most of us who live in Wash-ington, a state with one of the largest populations of seafood consumers in the country.
We should not face an increased risk of illness from toxic chemicals when we try to improve our health by eating seafood. Washington’s fish consumption rate should be at least as protec-tive as Oregon’s, which has been raised to 175 grams, or about one fish meal per day. Plenty of scientific evidence supports an increase to that amount or more.
Treaty tribes have been trying for years to get Ecology to update the fish consumption rate. Our health and our treaty rights depend on our food being safe to eat.
Work to raise the rate finally began last year, but about halfway through the process Ecology did an about-face and progress skidded to a halt. The cause? A phone call from industry represen-tatives who said revising the rate would be bad for our economy because it would increase the cost of doing business.
We’re trying to get the process back on track, and remain hopeful that Gov. Inslee and new Ecology Director Maia Bellon can help make it happen. We’re also working with the U.S. Envi-ronmental Protection Agency to form a Govern-ment Leadership Group to move forward.
It’s not going to be easy, though. We’re up against some powerful interests.
Opponents claim federal water quality standards in place here already protect all of us. But how can that be, if we already know the fish consumption rate is wrong? Their answer is that existing rules can include a larger fish consump-tion rate as long as those who eat more fish accept a higher risk of getting cancer.
Imagine that. What they’re saying is that most people in Washington would be protected by a rate of risk that one in one million people will get cancer from toxins in water. But for any-body who eats more than one seafood meal per month, including Indians, Asians and Pacific Islanders, that risk rate can be as high as one in 10,000. That’s unacceptable. Current state law requires cancer risk rates to protect everyone at the rate of one in a million. That standard should remain unchanged.
There’s no question that seafood is good for us, but it won’t be that way for long if pollution is allowed to contaminate the waters it comes from. It is unjust for Indian people and others who consume a lot of seafood to be at greater risk for getting cancer than everyone else.
Developing a more realistic fish consump-tion rate and keeping risk standards in place to protect our health is a matter of justice – social justice and environmental justice – for everyone who lives here. None of us deserves anything less.

Some library gains made but there are still concerns
Monday night, April 29, our City Council chose to accept KCLS’ incomplete schematic materials for the 19,500-square-foot building concept. On the surface it sounds good, and one could think we’ve gained more than we’ve lost. While we celebrate gains, there are con-cerns that need to be closely watched to ensure taxpayers get everything and more for their tax increases.
Possible gains• Keep the library over the Cedar River.• Get a library larger than the smaller ver-
sion KCLS wanted.• Get an audit of KCLS’ Project Budget and
Project Expenditures.Concerns•The council’s recommendation to KCLS to
try to have an entrance on the bridge is not the same as insisting it must be there and schemat-ic design is still incomplete at this point.
• KCLS could still promote a smaller build-ing. The incomplete schematics lacked struc-tural information that new concept elements are feasible.
• The estimated budget has 39.5 percent in markups and contingencies, leaving potential for misuse. This needs to be audited continu-ously to ensure taxpayers get the maximum library possible.
• The ILA contract between KCLS and the City of Renton calls for specific actions and information. The City Council and Adminis-tration chose to act outside of the contractual agreement that provides needed financial protection.
• City Administration continues to email critical documents at 5 p.m. on Friday for a decision on Monday. Our City Council lacks time to be well-informed before they act.
• City Administration promotes making critical decisions without the City Attorney having read materials to provide advice.
Thank you, Renton residents, for speak-ing up. We would not have made the gains we have without your help and involvement. Hopefully with ongoing auditing, KCLS and Miller-Hull will produce the library we all envision on time and within budget. Keep this process in mind when election time comes. Elections provide the opportunity to change who represents and advocates for Renton citizens.Beth Asher, RentonOn behalf of Save the Cedar River Library … Again!

Renton Letter to editor
State’s fish-consumption rate doesn’t protect the consumer
[7]May 10, 2013www.rentonreporter.com
Hundreds of walkers and runner turned out Sunday to raise money to battle hunger during the Renton CROP Hunger Walk at Liberty Park.
This year’s event was the 30th annual walk in Renton.
Even the weather turned out for this year’s event with a record-breaking warm day.
The walk was more than miles long, along the Cedar River Trail, and thirsty walkers walked to check-points for water, knowing “we walk because they walk” and that donations will help provide wells for clean water and means for food.
The idea behind the CROP walk, and more than 1,600 others like it across the country, is that hun-gry people in developing countries typically walk as many as six miles a day to get food, water and fuel, and to take their goods to market. Walkers walk to be in solidarity with their struggle for existence.
According to coordinator
Sharon Kenyon, the group is very close to meeting this year’s goal of raising $30,000, an amount chosen in honor of the walk’s 30th anniversary.
Last year’s event raised more than $25,000.
According to the group’s website, in the past 20 years, CROP Hunger walks have raised more than $294 million to help people struggling to feed their families – both around
the world and around the corner.
Of the money raised, 25 percent will stay in Renton. In its history, the walk has raised more than $500,000 and contributed more than $128,000 for Renton food agencies.
Online giving will con-tinue through May at www.rentoncrophungerwalk.org Funds help fight hunger around the world and in Renton.

Day of Prayer
By BRian BeCkley
Approximately 40 Renton residents gathered under the pavillion at Liberty Park last week to participate in a local assembly for the National Day of Prayer.
Led by Mark and Nancy Moore of the Kingdom League International, the event featured several local pastors praying for the city’s government, businesses, families, churches and schools, as well as a representative from the Beit HaShofar synagogue praying for Israel.
The group also read a proclamation from Mayor Denis Law.The National Day of Prayer event draws together Christians of varied back-
grounds to pray for the strengthening of the moral and spiritual fabric of our society.Prayer was be offered by ministers and members of the Renton community,
asking for forgiveness for our wrongs, and for the blessing of God on a variety of aspects of society.
The National Day of Prayer has been observed annually since it was established by the United States Congress on April 17, 1952.

The City Council on Monday approved three projects as winners of this year’s Neighborhood Project Grants in the LaCrosse, Talbot Hill and Maplewood neighborhoods.
This year’s neighborhood grant winning projects are:
• Create a social, meditation and reflection area in the LaCrosse Homeowner’s Association community garden, $1,965;
• Revitalize the area around the entrance, improve the signage and add seating for visitors who walk in the
area of the Talbot Hill Neighborhood Association, $2,010; and
• Erect a bus shelter for the school children to protect themselves from the elements in the Maplewood Neighborhood Association, $1,592.
Projects suitable for the grants are any costing more than $1,000 and are designed to promote network-ing among residents, communica-tion between the city government and citizens and to enhance one of the city’s many neighborhoods with something it may be lacking, be it a simple welcome sign or a tile mosaic at a park, or even something larger, like the $23,000 landscaping and ir-
rigation project along Northeast Third Street that planted trees to protect the view corridor.
The projects are completed my vol-unteers form the neighborhood.
Next up for the neighborhood pro-gram are the annual picnics. The first scheduled picnic is June 12 for South Renton.

Living Faith Presbyterian Church will shut its doors forever in June, but it’s holding a rummage sale to support one last altruistic endeavor.
Formerly First Presby-terian Church Renton, the church will hold an estate sale is 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., May 17 and 18 at 2640 Benson Road South. Funds from the sale will go to support completing the construc-tion of Miriam’s Mission House for orphaned and abandoned older children in Iringa, Tanzania.
The mission project was started by church treasurer Sue Zirko. She befriended Miriam Mnenegwa, a wid-ow and mother to a teenage son, on a service-program trip to the East African country 15 years ago with a different organization.
“It’s just an amazing experience for me to just see how God has motivated people to support this,” Zirko said. “If you ask for
the right things people will come forward.”
Mnenegwa purchased the land the orphanage will sit on and had the foundation built there. The official name of the project in Tazania is the WENDE Care Children Organiza-tion. Living Faith Presbyte-
rian is hoping to raise the additional $5,000 needed to complete the orphanage. The money will be used to purchase windows and interior fixtures, including lighting to finish the seven-room building.
The church rummage and estate sale will feature all the church supplies,
equipment and furniture that hasn’t already been picked up by other church-es or sold on Craigslist. There are no pews for sale, but plenty of file cabinets, desks, office supplies, multi-ple pianos. Mnenegwa also sent some items made by Tazanian women to Living Faith that will be for sale.
The church will accept offers on the pianos, but basically, if someone can haul them away, they will bless them, said Helen Wil-loughby, church secretary.
Members will also bring items to the church to sale to help the fund-raising effort.
Some church items will not be for sale: the stained-glass windows and the hand bell set.
“The hand bells, because they’re so valuable, I don’t think they’re going to put them in a rummage sale,” Willoughby said.
The stained-glass win-dows, which were made by two church members, are also not for sale.
“It was a gift to God’s
house, so it needs to stay in God’s house somewhere,” she said explaining that the windows are expected to move to another church.
Some of the items in the rummage sale, like office equipment such as the copier, won’t be available for pick up until July 1. The church building and pews will stay with Seattle Presbytery.
“It’s going to be huge,” said Willoughby of the rummage sale. “I don’t even know if we’re going to have enough space to hold everything. It will be a good sale.”

A newly installed traffic signal at the intersection of Northeast Fourth Street and Whitman Court Northeast will be activated Monday, May 13, as part of Phase 1 of the City of Renton Transportation Division’s Northeast Third/Fourth Street Corridor Improvement Project.
Drivers should use this new traffic signal to make left turns out of the Safeway complex and to make left turns from Whit-man Court Northeast after leaving the post office.
In addition, the city is asking for the public’s patience after the traffic signal is activated, as the signal timing may need to be adjusted to better serve the varied traffic volumes that occur.
Project improvements include the signal-
ized intersection of Northeast Fourth Street and Whitman Court Northeast as well as a westbound bicycle lane and sidewalk landscape strips. A King County Water District 90 water main was also replaced, and except for the high-voltage transmis-sion power lines, all utilities (power, phone, cable, fiber) on the north side were relo-cated underground.
The project will improve safety and traffic operations at this intersection and the access to shopping and the post office. All access to the post office will now be off Whitman Court Northeast.
For more information contact city proj-ect manager Keith R. Woolley at [email protected] or call 425-430-7318.

The Renton School Board will consider bids to sell two parcels of unused property near Hazelwood and Tiffany Park elementary schools at their May 22 meet-ing.
Developers and interested parties made initial bids on the properties late last year. Top bidders from that process were selected to continue in the bidding process and the School Board will consider selling the properties at the upcoming meeting.
The district has owned the 10 acres near Hazelwood Elementary School and about 20 acres near Tiffany Park Elementary School for decades. Both pieces of property are zoned for single-family residences. The ar-eas present challenging issues that preclude the district from building a school on the land, a district release stated.
The issues are related to student growth, accessibility to major streets and traffic impacts.
The school district held community meetings in November at the nearby schools and two formal School Board Public Hearings to discuss the plan to sell the properties with the community.
Once the winning bid is accepted by the School Board for each property, the district will work with the broker to finalize the sale. The cities of Newcastle and Renton will then work with the buyers on how the land is developed.
The money from the sale of the properties will go into the district’s capital projects fund designated spe-cifically for school construction and renovation.

The Seamount League Champion Hazen boys baseball team’s season came to an end this week, with a 10-5 loss to Columbia River in the opening round of the district tournament.
The Highlanders opened their postseason May 1, with a 2-1 loss to Peninsula at Auburn Mountainview High School, but returned the following day to beat Decatur 5-3 to earn third place in the sub-district tournament and move on to the districts.
Coming in as the seventh seed, Hazen was pitted against the 10-seed, Co-lumbia River High School from Vancouver. But the Chieftans proved too much for the Highlanders, who fell 10-5 in the loser-out game, meaning their season has come to an end.
The Highlanders finish the season as Seamount League Champions with a 15-6 overall record and a 13-1 record in the league.

Ask An Expert....Dear Expert:
I felt my car was shaking while I was driving, so I took it in for an alignment, but its still doing it. Whats wrong?
- Shaking in Skyway
Dear Shaking:It’s a very common misconception that
your car being out of alignment would cause it to shake, but its usually not the case.
Shaking happens when something is out of balance. This can be in the suspension with components like bushings or ball joints that wear out, usually worse on one side leading to the imbalance, or it can also be something in the wheel, a missing weight causing the tire to be imbalanced, or a bend in the wheel. Wheel bends can occur if a pothole or other road debris is hit at a high enough speed. Shaking can also occur when you apply the brakes. If brake rotors are warped, they will transmit a shaking feeling when you apply the brakes. Worn suspension components like bushings can do this as well.
The alignment of your vehicle is important to keep it from wandering, and to keep your tires from wearing out too quickly. Each manufacturer has alignment speci� cations for their cars that they recommend, and it’s a good idea to follow these. Alignments don’t need to be done on any speci� c regular basis, although its popular to have it done when tires are replaced. If the old tires weren’t wearing unevenly, then its usually not necessary. This brings me to my � nal point about alignments:
If you are going to have an alignment performed, it is imperative that you have the suspension and tires inspected � rst! Very often I see vehicles who have worn ball joints or bushings, worn tires, or other components in need of replacement who have requested alignments. In this case the car needs to be repaired prior to alignment. Once the suspension components are back to speci� cation, it is also important to make sure the tires are in good condition. Aligning a car with bad tires is a wasted alignment.

RabiesRabies is a fatal viral infection that is transmitted
primarily through bite wounds. Skunks, bats, raccoons, and foxes are the primary carriers. Rabies is also fatal to humans, there has been only one case of a person surviving rabies when treatment was started after clinical signs were present. Puppies are vaccinated at three to four months of age and then one year later.
Each state varies in its rabies law, most states require rabies vaccine every three years for adult pets, but some states still require them annually. If a person or a pet is bitten by an unknown or unvaccinated animal (dog, cat, or wild animal), the local health department or your veterinarian should be consulted.
The animal that bit should be apprehended, if possible, and your veterinarian or local health of� cial should be contacted immediately. A test can be done to see if rabies is present, but it does require the animal to be euthanized because the test can be done only on the brain. Rabies is preventable through regular vaccination of dogs and cats.

The man killed after he drove into a tree in Kent has been identified as Shayne Mathews, a 2010 graduate of Kentridge High School and former baseball player for the Chargers.
Mathews, 20, was identi-fied by the King County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Mathews was killed and another 20-year-old man injured when a car struck a tree in Kent at about 4:04 a.m. May 3 in the 9200 block of South 208th Street.
Kent Police are trying to determine what caused Mathews to drive off the road, although the investi-gation does not indicate the driver was under the influ-ence of alcohol or drugs, according to a Kent Police media release. There is no evidence speed or reckless-ness contributed.

In front of a small crowd gathered outside the Highline Public Schools Transportation Facility in Burien, Inslee promoted his budget plan for schools.
“We need a different route,” he said at the news confer-ence.
“We’ve got some great educators in our state. But if we’re going to allow these great educators to do their job, we’ve got to fulfill our constitutional duty of fully funding educa-tion.”
Among those educators in attendance were Vera Risdon, interim superintendent of the Renton School District.
Inslee’s budget proposal would put down a downpay-ment of more than $1 billion to fund state education by closing outdated tax loopholes. A special session in Olym-pia is scheduled for May 13 to address various state issues, including education funding.
“I will not compromise on our obligation to provide a quality education to every single one of our children,” Inslee told the audience.
Educators and superintendents from throughout the state attended the meeting, including Edward Lee Vargas, superintendent of the Kent School District.
