A 50-year-old Seattle man convicted in 1990 of murder is now in the King County jail in Kent, charged in the brutal assault of a Renton smoke-shop owner on May 9.
Joel White is being held on $750,000 bail on charges of second-degree assault. His ar-raignment is May 24 at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent.
The assault occurred May 9 at the shop at 19020 108th Ave. N.E. The victim has owned the store for two years.
White was arrested by Renton Police on Friday; but a second male, a 17-year-old teenager, who according to charging documents took part in the attack, remained at large.
Police issued an alert last Friday, asking for the public’s help in finding the teen. In the alert, police cautioned that the teen should be considered violent and dangerous.
Accompanied by family members, the teen surrendered Monday afternoon to Renton Po-lice at City Hall. He is now being

SIFF-Renton: Part DeuxBy TRACEy COMPTON AND DEAN A. RADFORD
The world is coming to Renton today, the opening night of Renton’s second turn as a venue for the Seattle International Film Festival.
Tonight’s opening-night film, “Fat Kid Rules the World,” at the IKEA Performing Arts Center, features a cast of local extras. Its director, Matthew Lillard, was planning to meet with students today at Lindbergh High, where some of the film’s scenes were filmed.
SIFF’s artistic director, Carl Spence, is expecting a big crowd tonight at IPAC.
“We expect a close to capacity house,” he said. “The film is one of our hottest sellers.”
After the screening, the crowd will walk across South Second Street for the open-night gala at the Renton Pavilion Event Center.
The festival runs through next Thursday, featuring films from around the world and the United States. SIFF was drawn to Renton as a venue because of its diverse population.

King County has placed a wooden fence along the Cedar River near the Riverbend Mobile Home Park in hopes it will discourage children and others from venturing too close to an ever-changing river bank.
This time of year, the Cedar River is running fast and cold, as the Cascade snowpack melts quickly in the spring heat.
For those who venture too close or are inexperienced in rafting it safely, the Cedar is dangerous.
Last weekend the summer-like tem-peratures sent thousands of people to the region’s lakes and rivers.
“The large number of people enjoy-ing area lakes and rivers kept the Sher-iff ’s Office Marine Unit very busy,” said Sgt. Rodney Chinnick, a Sheriff ’s Office spokesman.
The Marine Unit responded to incidents on Lake Washington, Lake Sammamish and the Green River, including the death of an Everett City Council member who died while rafting near Black Diamond.
The Sheriff ’s Office again stressed the importance of wearing life jackets while rafting rivers or boating in lakes or simply playing near the shore. Public Health – Seattle and King County also promotes

Renton School District students will make up the three days of school lost dur-
ing the January snow storm on May 25 and by adding two days to the end of the school
year, June 20 and 21.Friday, May 25, will be a delayed-start
day for students. Schools will start 90 min-utes late for all students. Also, only morn-ing kindergarten students attend classes.
Each year the district builds at least one snow day into its calendar to make-up for a school closure due to inclement weather.
In rare cases where more make-up days are needed, school districts normally add days to the end of the school year.
Renton schools, like all Puget Sound-area schools, were closed on Jan. 18, 19 and 20 due to a severe winter storm that blanketed the region.Summer CampKidsQuest Children’s Museum

Changing the myth of scary dentistry,one smile at a time...
Emergency Dental Tip:In general, baby teeth that get dislodged are not re-implanted due to the risk of compromising the forming adult tooth. For dislodged permanent teeth, do the following: –locate all of the pieces or whole tooth, hold tooth by the crown not the root and rinse gently with warm water if dirty. Never transport the tooth in water or scrub the root. Place the tooth in either milk or saline solution. The tooth has the best chance of survival if replaced within 30 minutes. Follow up with dentist as soon as possible. For more information about how to keep your child’s mouth healthy, visit us online at www.akidsplacedentistry.com

Every year the Renton School Board selects 12 “outstanding seniors” from each of Renton’s high schools.
The board members honor seniors at school board meetings in the spring.
Students are selected based on academic achievement, leadership, co-curricular involvement, citizenship and character, community service and contributions to their classmates and school.
Each student speaks to the board about what made them successful in school and
motivated them in their personal life.Parents and supporters attend the pre-
sentations and are recognized along with friendships with other students and “Most Inspirational” teachers as having influ-enced the seniors.
The recognition presentations at the
school board were Renton High School, April 18; Hazen High School, May 9; Lindbergh High School, May 23 and Sar-tori Education Center, June 3.
The Renton Reporter will run the photo of Sartori’s outstanding seniors once they are recognized.

Not only has the recession spelled trouble for many unem-ployed adults, but teens with the hopes of landing summer jobs have been hit hard as well.
King County youth employ-ment has decreased by 24 percent between 2008 and 2011, according to the Workforce Development Council of Seattle, King County.
Bank of America last week at King County YouthSource in Renton announced it is providing a $50,000 grant to the Workforce De-velopment Council that will fund
16 internships through the City of Seattle’s Summer Youth Employ-ment Program.
Bank of America and Expedi-tors International are trying to give teens a boost.
The grant is part of Bank of America’s Summer Youth Employ-ment Initiative that leverages public and private funding to place at-risk teens in summer jobs with nonprof-its and local businesses.
Expeditors International’s “Op-portunity Knocks” program hires high school students part time and teaches basic job skills.
The program is designed to guide youth to continued employment
with the company or other employ-ers and even to higher education.
In King County Workforce De-velopment Council reports that the number of 14-to-18-year-olds who were employed went down by 48 percent between 2008 and 2011.
The number of 19-to-21-year-olds also went down by 23 percent and their average earnings de-creased by $20 a month.
The average monthly earnings of 22-to-24-year-olds decreased by $282 and their employment went down by 15 percent.
“Our Summer Youth Employ-ment Initiative helps meet a critical need in Seattle and strengthens the
local communities we serve,” said Bob Peters, Washington state presi-dent and regional market executive at Bank of America. “This grant will help provide learning opportunities and work experiences for at-risk teens that can set them on a course to pursue long-term education and career goals.”
The King County YouthSource in Renton provides that connection between employers and youth look-ing for their first jobs.
YouthSource is located at 500 S.W. Seventh St., Suite 100, in the Renton WorkSource.

An Operation KidSafe free child-safety event is coming to
Renton on May 18 and 19.The event features a digital
system that can digitally fingerprint and photograph a
child in 30 seconds or less with no ink and no film. The family
then has a digital quality set of prints that is long-lasting.
There is no data-basing. The parent is handed the
finished product, a letter-size document, with the child’s
digital fingerprints and photo. The quality is so good that the prints can be scanned into the
National Crime Computer if the child is ever missing.
The focus is education, so each parent will receive the top
tips for safety at the event, according to organizers.KidSafe will be at Good

Crews will close the State Route 99 Alaskan Way Viaduct on the Seattle waterfront this weekend to continue rein-forcing a two-block section of the structure located above the route of the future SR 99 tunnel.
Both directions of SR 99 between the north end of the Battery Street Tunnel and the West Seattle Bridge will close from 11 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday.
Drivers should plan for increased congestion in and near downtown Seattle during the closures, and consider leaving early, carpooling or taking transit. Up-to-the-minute traffic information is available at www.wsdot.wa.gov/traffic and via the Washington State Department of Transportation’s voice-activated driver information line, 511.
During the closure crews will wrap a protective rein-forcing fiber on the concrete beams of the viaduct’s lower deck between South Washington and Columbia streets in Pioneer Square. This spring crews repaired and smoothed the concrete to provide a suitable surface for the protective fiber.
“It’s like wrapping an injured ankle,” said Matt Preedy, WSDOT Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement Program deputy administrator. “Protecting this section of the viaduct is important because crews will drive the tunnel boring machine beneath it in late 2013.”
In addition to the reinforcement work, tunnel crews are building underground walls beneath the viaduct’s founda-tions to further protect it during tunneling.

ing held at the Department of Youth Services facility in Seattle. His first court appearance was Tuesday; as of Wednesday, he had yet been charged.
The Renton Reporter was not naming the teenager, who is a juvenile, pending the filing of charges.
The attack on Christopher Madapat, the shop’s owner, hap-pened at about 11 a.m. as he was stocking drinks. He recognized White and the teen as prior customers. The teen lives in a nearby apartment complex.
Mandapat asked them why they were wearing gloves and carrying a stick. They responded they had been in a fight and needed them for protection, according to the probable-cause certification written by Renton
Police Detective Keith Hansen.Mandapat continued talking
to them and turned to stock shelves again. White then hit him over the head with the stick, according documents. The blow didn’t knock out the shop owner, who fought back.
The teen then joined in the attack. The owner was hit with the stick and bottles and the two men’s fists and feet.
The teen put Mandapat in a “bear hug,” Hansen wrote, and White swung the stick. But Mandapat told investigators the stick must have hit the teen, because he released his grip.
Hansen wrote that there was blood on almost all the walls. The teen is 6-foot-1 and weighs about 220 pounds; White is 5-foot-ll and weighs 155 pounds.
Mandapat told investigators
they fought “for a long time” be-fore the two men left. A nearby shop owner heard the noise and called 911. A man waiting at a bus stop saw the two walk by, both with blood on them.
A tip led police to the teen’s family. Police also learned that White is the teen’s uncle. Inves-tigators found a photo of White on the teen’s Facebook page. Mandapat identified White from a montage containing that photo.
Mandapat suffered cuts and lacerations on his head and face and fingers were broken.
According to court docu-ments, White was convicted of second-degree assault in 1985 and first-degree murder in 1990.

The giant sandbags along the Green River in Kent, Auburn and Tukwila soon will be going, going, gone mid-summer.
The King County Flood Control District’s Board of Supervisors approved Monday a $5.8 mil-lion plan to remove 26 miles of sandbags lining the river in the three cities.
The flood control district will pay approximately $4.4 million and the cities about $1.4 million under the plan, with the county funding 75 percent of the project.
None of the levees are in Renton, so the city is not respon-sible for paying for their removal.
But right now the levees are too wet to handle the heavy equip-ment needed to get rid of the bags that weigh more than a ton.
Many of the bags cover more than half of the path of the Green River Trail, a popular walking and bicycling destination prior to the placing of the sandbags.
Sandbags that are about 3-feet high have lined the trail for nearly three years for extra flood protec-tion because of damage in 2009 to an abutment next to the Howard Hanson Dam on the upper Green River. But the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced last fall it can operate Hanson Dam at full capacity, which means the sand-bags are no longer needed.
County approves funding to remove Green sandbags

A Buckley man was cited for peeing on the side of the road in Renton on May 10.
A police officer was driving west in the 1900 block of Maple Valley Highway at 8:36 a.m. when they spotted a man urinating by the side of the road.
The 33-year-old Buckley man was fully exposed with his pants open.
The officer confronted the man, who said he was really sorry, but just had to go really badly.
The officer cited the man for not being pulled off of the roadway farther, but the officer said he understood.
Domestic-violence arrestPolice arrested a Renton man for investigation of domes-
tic violence assault on May 9.Officers were called to a residence in the 3800 block of
Northeast Fourth Street at about 9 a.m.A 21-year-old woman there told police that her boy-
friend of three years had choked her while the two of them were lying in bed.
Apparently the woman had said something her 21-year-old boyfriend did not like and he attacked her.
When police caught up with the man, he told a different story.
Although his girlfriend mentioned that she tore his shirt and scratched his back in the attack, the man said he was the one that said something she didn’t like and she attacked him.
Police felt the injuries they observed on the woman were consistent with her story and they arrested the man for investigation of fourth-degree assault.
Ex-couple gets into fightAn ex-girlfriend went on a rampage against a former
beau on May 9. The 21-year-old ex-girlfriend showed up at her former
boyfriend’s residence in the 800 block of Harrington Av-enue Northeast just before 1 p.m.
Her 22-year-old ex-boyfriend was inside the apartment with a friend and two girls.
When he would not open the door for her, the woman went to the man’s bedroom window and removed a screen to get inside the apartment.
Once inside, she began yelling at the man, throwing things, overturned a computer desk and went outside and threw something through the window of his car.
Then the woman came back inside and apparently tried to stab her ex-boyfriend with a small folding knife.
One of his friends was able to disarm her. Eventually the woman’s mother and father came and
took her away.There was a no-contact order out against the man, which
he did not violate because the woman came and initiated the contact.
Police found evidence corroborating the man’s friend’s story.
The man nor the woman were on the scene when police
got there, but the knife was placed into evidence.
Seattle man arrestedA Seattle man was arrested for investigation of harass-
ment of apartment staff on April 29.The 30-year-old man was apprended by police after it
was reported around 5:30 p.m. that he threatened harm to the staff of an apartment complex.
The building is in the 500 block of Stevens Avenue Southwest.
Staff told police that the man came into their offices yell-ing that someone stole his television.
They said he appeared under the influence of drugs.When the man was told to calm down, he apparently
told the two women staff members he would return and kick in their faces and kill them.
Police found the man walking in the 200 block of Hardie Avenue Southwest.
Dispatch advised police that the man had violent tendencies and had previously assaulted a police officer in 2010.
The man was cited and taken to jail for the misdemeanor charge of harassment.
Residence is vandalizedSuspects vandalized a residence and property on a busi-
ness lot on April 23.Police arrived at about 2 p.m. to the 12300 block of
Southeast Petrovitsky Road to discover personal vehicles on the lot vandalized and with shattered glass.
A lawn statue had been thrown through the front window of the house and all of the front porch furniture and decorations had been turned over and tossed from the porch.
Some of the vehicles on the property had been damaged in an earlier incident April 15.
One person witnessed the malicious mischief done to the property on April 21.
Police forwarded the report to detectives for follow-up.

About 600 pounds of projection equip-ment was loaded Monday morning into the Renton IKEA Performing Arts Center, host to the Seattle International Film Festival in Renton.
The festival kicks off today in the city for the second year in a row.
It may be the last year that 35-millimeter film projection is used in the festival.
Renton is the only site this year of all the SIFF venues to have 35-millimeter projec-tion equipment.
The rest will use digital systems.“This may be the last year that we do 35-
millimeter for the film festival,” said Miles McRae of McRae Theater Equipment, Inc.,
that handles all of SIFF’s projection and sound needs. “It’s kind of ironic, but the industry is shifting to digital projection.”
McRae has a family connection to Renton. His uncle, Bob McRae, owned the former movies houses, The Roxy and The Renton, on South Third Street downtown.
The Roxy is now used by a church and The Renton became the Renton Civic The-atre, which stages live theater productions.
SIFF is using a 35-millimeter projection set up and a digital system as a back up at its opening night in Seattle at McCaw Hall, only because the filmmaker requested 35 millimeter projection.
McRae has a warehouse in Ballard were he runs his shop and has lots of mechanical equipment, 35-millimeter projectors and
digital systems.“It’s kind of a sad thing to see it all head
toward the metal recyclers,” he said of the older models.
Some of the equipment he owns was installed in 1951 and has been running everyday since just fine, he said.
The projector installed at the IKEA Per-forming Arts Center is from the 1960s and is based on the same mechanical system that’s been around since the 1800s.
That system has seemed to work well for years, but it’s the movie studios who are pushing the switch in the industry.
“The studios are very concerned about the protection of their intellectual prop-erty,” McRae said. “So they don’t want anybody to make an exact copy of their material.”
Now studios deal in DCI or digital cin-ema initiatives, which are standards of all kinds of technical parameters including the encryption of content, McRae said.
Film reels are becoming a thing of the past as films now come on hard drives.
Film content is ingested into a local server and it runs off that server with the use of a key that unlocks the encrypted content for a period of time.
“The call for 35 millimeter is becoming less and less,” said McRae. “At this point all the big chains, Regal and Cinemark and AMC, they’re pretty much done with this conversion. There’s supposed to be about 36,000 screens in the United States total. I think that we’re probably approaching 70 to 75 percent have converted.”
Film companies are sending notices say-ing that by the end of 2013 there may be no more 35-millimeter prints, McRae said.
The cost to movie houses to convert their projection equipment is about $70,000 to $100,000, McRae estimates.
This year in Renton films will again be running off of Dolby Digital sound, which is the standard state-of-the-art for film.
“We’re excited about (SIFF), there’s more DCPs, digital cinema packages, than ever before,” said McRae. “And so you can really see the trends happening.”

If you are a person with family responsibilities, you owe it to the ones you love to have a valid estate plan. To more fully appreciate the ramifications of not doing so, consider your family’s picture without you in it. While it is sobering enough to think about the emotional challenge of such an unthinkable loss, imagine the legal consequences. In the absence of a will, the courts will distribute your property to your spouse and children under the laws of the state. A state court judge will also determine who will supervise the distribution of your property. If you want a voice in your own affairs, make a valid estate plan your top priority.
I can help you write a valid estate plan that can ensure your wishes are carried out and your worldly goods are distributed in the way you see fit. In addition, I can help with other aspects of estate planning, as well as elder law and Medicaid planning. If you have any questions, call 425-227-8700 to make an appointment at one of my offices, which are conveniently located in Renton nand Kent.
Committed to you and the community.

By Mary C. SeleCky
Washington State Secretary of Health
Gov. Chris Gregoire has announced an emergency action to slow the spread of whooping cough (pertussis) in the state. Just a month ago, I declared that whooping cough had reached epidemic levels in Washington. If the pace continues, we’re headed toward the highest number of reported cases here since the early 40s.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Only 10-12 percent of cases are reported because many teens and adults don’t get sick enough to go in for medical treatment and testing.
Whooping cough is highly contagious. It causes cold-like symptoms, spreads by cough-ing and sneezing and can last for weeks. It’s a miserable illness for teens and adults but very serious for babies who often catch it from rela-tives and other adults. Sadly, it has taken the lives of four Washington babies in the last two years and hospitalized dozens more.
Our new public service announcement features a Snohomish County mom who lost her newborn daughter to whooping cough. It’s a sobering reminder of just how serious whooping cough can be, and it encourages vaccination.
Prevention is key! Whooping cough vaccine is recommended for all kids and adults. It’s widely available at clinics, pharmacies and doc-tor offices. Everyone age 11 and older should get a whooping cough booster called Tdap. We’re buying 27,000 doses of Tdap for adults who otherwise can’t afford it. Gov. Gregoire joined me in urging healthcare professionals to get vaccinated and to vaccinate their patients.
Younger kids must complete a series of five doses of DTaP vaccine by age seven for full protection. Good health manners also help prevent the spread of whooping cough, like covering your cough and staying home when you’re sick.
Immunization exemptions have also played a role in the epidemic. Our state has the high-
est school immunization exemption rate in the nation at 6.2 percent, compared with a national average of about 2 percent. So, there are pockets of unvaccinated people vulnerable to getting and spreading diseases like measles and whooping cough.
There’s a lot of misinformation about vac-cines, especially online. It’s hard to tell the dif-ference between what’s reliable and what isn’t.
One way the state is helping parents get reli-able information is through the new immuni-zation exemption law. It requires parents to talk with a health care provider before exempting their child from immunizations required for school entry. The health care professional must sign a form verifying the parent or guardian received vaccine benefit and risk information.
We want parents to get reliable and trusted information about vaccines from their health care provider. It’s also important for parents to know that their child, if not immunized, may be excluded from school or child care during an outbreak.
To find an immunization clinic, contact your health care provider or local health agency. All recommended vaccines are offered at no cost to all kids under 19 through health care provider offices participating in the state’s Childhood Vaccine Program. Health care providers may charge an office visit fee and a fee to give the vaccine, called an administration fee. People who cannot afford the administration fee can ask the health care provider to waive the cost. Most health insurance carriers will cover the whooping cough vaccine; adults should double-check with their health plan.
Making sure you’re current on your whoop-ing cough vaccine is the best way you can help protect the vulnerable in our communi-ties – the babies who are too young to be fully immunized.

As ministers prepare for their Sunday ser-mons, they pray that their words and readings will help lift the parishioner’s soul from the cancer of anger, hatred and despondency.
But what if your parishioners are combat sol-diers returning from heavy fighting where they killed and maimed? Or watched as their buddies were mangled or took their last breath? Anger, helplessness and hatred are at the very surface of their being.
After many tours of duty, their soul has become an empty shell – simply reacting to commands and situations.
Over time, guilt sets in and sometimes shame, knowing that their families could never under-stand what has been asked of them and how they responded.
They fear death everyday, yet considering all they’ve done, they fear facing their God even more.
You already know that the good news of love, understanding and forgiveness are a hard sell. Nevertheless, as you look into the eyes of these weary souls, you are tasked to bring them some peace, healing and forgiveness.
I asked Chaplain (LTC) Steve George, deputy garrison chaplain at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, to provide some insight into the challenges and
rewards of administering to our combat soldiers.
“As a military chaplain, you have the incredible opportu-nity to be a voice of encour-agement and hope at precisely those times when the vagaries of war and the starkly painful realities of combat missions have been most daunting.
You are keenly aware that you are on hallowed ground, especially when the fighting has been fiercest and the significant cost of human con-flict has presented itself in no uncertain terms. At exactly that moment, you realize that ‘for such a time as this,’ you were called to nurture the living, care for the wounded, and honor the fallen.
“Every action, every thought, every prayer provided by the chaplain is designed to strength-en and instill confidence in those incredibly brave young men and women that serve our country selflessly. These soldiers demonstrate powerfully that their hearts, spirits and souls reflect nothing less than the very bedrock values upon which our nation was founded.
“It is into that setting which the scores of military chaplains deployed around the world in combat zones go to lift spirits, embolden hearts, and minister to those serving honorably on the front lines. Our courageous service members in harm’s way absolutely deserve no less.”
Modestly, Chaplain George doesn’t mention the courage of chaplains who enter a war zone without a weapon. Although they bear no arms, they bear the heavier burden of feeling respon-sible for the life assigned to protect them.
Nor does he mention the emotional burden they must experience sharing in the personal pain and fear of hundreds of soldiers in combat zones over many years.
It, therefore, seems appropriate that on the

lapel of their uniforms they wear a cross – the horizontal beam repre-senting their oath to their God and the vertical beam representing their oath to their country. The chaplain is proudly centered at the cross-section binding together the well-being of the individual and the country.
So, on this Memorial Day, our courageous military chaplains, es-pecially those in harm’s way, deserve no less than our honor and thanks for bringing healing and comfort to our sons and daughters. They are not only God’s representative, but they also represent us on some of the worst days of our son’s and daughter’s lives. For many, they were the last face they saw, the last touch they felt and the last person to bring them some peace, love and forgiveness.
Can you really have one foot in the spiritual world and one foot in hell – hell, as in war? Well, military chaplains have proven they have the boots to do just that.

Students from Hazelwood, Highlands and Kennydale elementary schools celebrated their accomplishments Monday in another year of the Reading Buddies program. They were guests at the Family Fun Center in Tukwila, courtesy of Bob Bridge, Mike O’Brien of Toyota of Renton and Scott Huish, owner of the Family Fun Center. The trip was the reward for the 200,000 books students from all of the district’s 13 elementary schools read this year. The program was designed and funded by Bob

By TRACEy COMPTON
Longtime restaurateur Vince Mottola of Vince’s Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria has launched a suc-cessful tour company that’s now in its tenth year.
But, don’t call him the Rick Steves of Italy, Mot-tola’s approach to travel is slightly different than the Edmonds-based guru.
“What I do is a little more luxurious,” said Mottola. “He goes through the back door; we go through the front door.”
Although he is flattered by any comparison to
Steves, Mottola prides his tours on their luxury ac-commodations as opposed to the hostels and modest housing offered on Steves’ tours.
And Mottola doesn’t like to have every day of his tours scheduled with as many events as some other tour companies.
The Italian-American, who has spent almost every year of his life traveling back to Italy to see fam-ily, likes for his clients to experience the locals and culture in settings like cafés and restaurants.
What better way to
experience Italy, a foodie’s paradise, than with an Ital-ian restaurateur.
That’s exactly what a local tour company was thinking when they asked Mottola to lead the tours 10 years ago.
After two years, Mottola branched out on his own and started coordinating the tours himself.
Now he runs Mottola Italian Tours with the as-sistance of his daughter Gabriela and accompanied by his wife, Carla.
They take groups of between 16 and 24 people on guided tours through Rome, Florence, Venice, Naples, Sorrento, Pompeii and Capri, to name some of their excursions.
For the first time this year they will offer two tours in the fall: a northern tour and a southern tour.
“A lot of the reason peo-ple choose to go with me is because they know I’m a restaurateur, they know I’m Italian and they know I love food,” said Mottola. “So, we really have a great time at restaurants.”
Mottola is the son of Enzo (Vince) and Ada Mot-tola, who opened Vince’s Italian Restaurant in south Seattle in 1957.
The couple moved to Renton Avenue and Hen-derson in 1963 and that was the oldest restaurant in the enterprise until Mottola had to close it last year.
Mottola believes that his family business is the oldest business run by the same family in Renton.
They had a tough time during the recent recession, but have always had steady business and things are trending upward, Mottola said.
Three years ago he opened Pizzeria Pulcinella on Rainier Avenue South.
Now, Mottola co-owns and operates all of the res-taurants, in Burien, Federal Way and the Highlands, with Fred Martichuski.
“So, we have a long his-tory here and the folks of Renton have been really loyal and good to our fam-ily and our restaurants,” Mottola said.
He counts himself lucky to have happened on this tour business, which seems like a natural fit, consider-ing his experience with his family’s native land.
His parents are immi-grants from Naples and almost all of his extended family lives in Italy.
Mottola lived there for a couple of years when he was in his early teens.
“You can’t have a bad time in Italy, but you can have a really really wonder-ful time if you know a few things about the country and the people,” he said.
There is still room on the upcoming fall tours to the north and south of Italy.

She’s had the door closed on her so many times, sometimes we weren’t even sure where her next prescription would come from — or whether she’d have enough medicine to get through the month. You know, all that worrying can make your health even worse. That’s why I like to say that the Fidelis healthcare program was created just for us. Now, Deidra knows that her doctors and nurses really care about her, and I know when I have a question, I’ll get an answer right
away, not in two or three weeks. I’ll always be there for my Deidra, but now with Fidelis, I know she’s getting the healthcare she needs…and that means everything to me.”

(NewsUSA) - The next time you decide to join the tanning fad for a darker com-plexion, consider this: While tanned skin may improve your youthful glow, it is far from healthy.
According to the World Health Orga-nization, indoor tanning devices belong in the same cancer-causing category as tobacco. Studies show a 75 percent increase in a person’s risk of skin cancer when they’re exposed to UV radiation from tanning beds -- and there are more than one million Americans tanning on any given day.
“Despite the widespread appeal of tanning salons among men and women, tanned skin is actually a sign of skin cells responding to trauma from UV damage,” explains Myron Jacobson, Dean, College of Pharmacy University of North Texas Health Science Center. “In addition to raising your risk of malignant melanoma, tanning also ages you prematurely.”
The “youthful” glow of tanning is short term, eventually leading to a breakdown of collagen that causes wrinkles, sun
spots and an overall loss of elasticity. Skin experts say sun damage is the number-one ager due to discoloration and uneven skin tone. However, there are products on the market that help repair sun damage from UV rays by evening out your skin for a glow that is healthy.
Besides tanning beds, daily sun expo-sure can also increase your likelihood of developing skin cancers. Protect your skin and your youth by following these skin-care tips:
• Wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 year-round. During summer or extreme sun, reapply at least every two hours.
• Remember you’re still vulnerable to UV rays during cloudy, overcast days.
• For prolonged sun exposure, wear a wide-brimmed hat to cover your neck, ears and face.
• Find some shade when the strength of UV radiation is highest, approximately from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

the City of Renton, she is coordinating with members of her group to go see the Filipino films “Remington and the Curse of the Zombadings” and “The Woman in the Septic Tank.”
Both films are showing on Sunday, May 20, at the IKEA Performing Arts Center.
“For me, it is not only fun to see the films, but also to experience the gathering of different peoples with the same interest to get involved in the community,” Aesquivel said. “SIFF, an international film festival, is not only a festival of films in itself, but of diversity in terms of community
participation.”Other City of Renton community liaisons are coordinat-
ing attending Spanish and Japanese films at SIFF. The film organization is providing a limited number of
complimentary tickets to groups attending those films.

The Renton Community Foundation handed out schol-arships to 14 people Wednesday.
As part of this year’s ceremony, a grad student the foundation originally planned to bestow a scholarship on decided they didn’t need the money after having received another generous scholarship.
So that student asked that the money go toward other students and the Renton Community Foundation was able to give an additional $1,000 to two award recipients.
The scholarships given out Wednesday afternoon were for the Dolores Gibbons Scholarship for students pursuing a career in education.
The Carl and Betty Rochet Scholarship for students pur-suing a career in communications was also given out.
The Helen Dyrdal Scholarship was awarded, as well as the Jeremey Gidlund Memorial Scholarship to high school seniors in the special-needs program.
The Gidlund scholarship was created in memory of Jere-mey Gidlund, a Lindbergh High School student in the spe-cial needs program, who died in a street racing accident.
The Dyrdal scholarship is unique because it awards to college undergraduates, graduate students and those in a certificate program, who may be re-entering the workforce or returning to work from military service.
This year’s scholarship winners are:• Dolores Gibbons Scholarship: Kelsey Nolan - $500• Carl and Betty Rochet Scholarship: Thomas Nguyen -
$1,000• Jeremey Gidlund Memorial Scholarship: Kevin Mai -
$500, Amber Sanders - $500, Skyler Bluhm - $1,000, Peter Duzniak - $1,000
• Helen Dyrdal Scholarship: Soradket Leng - $2,500, Laura Timm - $1,000, Najma Osman - $1,500, Jennifer Nguyen - $2,500, Charisse Timbol - $5,000, Anna Grak-lanoff - $2,000, Chandra Cogburn - $2,500, Katie Hancock - $5,000.

Valley Medical Center handed out its first DAISY Awards, which honor nurs-es for the skill and compas-sion they bring to patients and families everyday.
This year’s recipients are Colleen LeDrew, critical-care nurse; Mark Navarro, infusion-center nurse, and Erica Schindler, pediatric nurse.
DAISY stands for Diseas-es Attacking the Immune System and the recognition program is a partnership of healthcare organizations across the Unites States and in seven countries.
It is one of three pro-grams the Barnes family created through The DAISY Foundation as a means of expressing their gratitude to the nursing profession for the care they experienced when J. Patrick Barnes was hospitalized in 1999 with idiopathic thrombocytope-nia purpura (ITP).
Barnes died of complica-tions of the auto-immune disease at age 33.
The DAISY Founda-tion has been recognizing nurses since its inception in February 2011, with more than 20,000 nurses receiv-
ing awards.Valley Medical Center
became the 1,000th hospital to join The DAISY Foun-dation’s “Daisy Award for
Extraordinary Nurses” program.
The program was pi-loted by the University of Washington’s Cancer Care Alliance in 1999.
“I am a big fan of the DAISY Award because of the stories people tell when they nominate a nurse,” said Scott Alleman, senior vice president of patient care services at the center in a release. “They are beautiful stories about how nurses have made an impact on people’s lives, typically at a time when those lives are most fragile. The DAISY Award recognizes an indi-vidual as a model caregiver who made a difference, something that all nurses aspire to.”
The DAISY Award winners were nominated by their peers, physicians, patients, their families, staff and administrators.
Valley Medical Cen-ter will give up to three nurses DAISY Awards each quarter.

Parks, trails get busy; follow the rulesAs spring and summer heat up, so
does the activity at Renton’s parks, trails, beaches and such natural areas as the Black River Riparian Forest.
Here are some park and trail re-minders from the City of Renton.
• Dogs are not allowed at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park or Kennydale Beach Park. At all other parks, dogs must be on an eight-foot leash. An off-leash dog park is located
along the Cedar River across from the Renton Community Center. “Scoop” laws are in affect for animals.
• The speed limit on a portion of the Cedar River Trail was reduced in 2011 and there are dismount zones. Obey all signage.
Renton’s park maintenance staff maintain the facilities and act as cus-tomer service representatives to the public. Comments, suggestions and
questions are welcome. Trail Rangers will be on the Cedar River Trail from June through September to assist with trail education and report unwanted activity. If suspicious or dangerous behavior is noticed, call 911.
For more information on Renton’s park rules and regulations, trail etiquette or maps of parks, trails and bikeways, visit rentonwa.gov or call 425-430-6600.

their use.However, unlike last
year, there is no proposal to impose a requirement that everyone rafting the river in any device must wear a personal floatation device, such as a life jacket, according to Logan Harris, a spokesman for the King County Department of Natural Resources.
Last year’s emergency rule applied to anyone swimming, floating or boating on a river, includ-ing the Cedar, Snoqualmie, Tolt, Green, White, Raging and Skykomish rivers that run outside cities.
“While we did see heavy snowpack, one difference this year is we didn’t have the turbulent flood season we did in 2010-11 when virtually all rivers experi-enced extended high flows that compounded already high risks for boaters, raf-ters and swimmers,” Harris said.
However, he added, “riv-ers are dynamic systems that are inherently danger-ous, particularly this time of year.”
A massive logjam closed the Cedar River last year for several weeks upriver from the Riverbend Mobile Home Park, the result of that winter’s high river flows. It was later removed and the river reopened.
The mobile-home park is just east of the Renton city limits on State Route 169.
This year, there were no significant river flows, so there are no new logs spanning the river in that area nor has the river’s channel changed, said Steve Bleifuhs, manager of the county’s River and Flood-plain Management Section.
“What folks will see this summer is what they saw last summer,” he said.
The King County Flood Control District is updating its flood hazard manage-ment plan designed to keep residents, businesses and
economic infrastructure safe from flooding.
The stretch of the Cedar near the mobile-home park is known as Cedar Rapids. Farther upriver is a major logjam that blocks a side channel that continues to draw the concern of river activists. It has been in place for years.
Chuck Pillon of May Val-ley has spent years pressing the county to make rivers such as the Cedar safer places for recreationists, including in the Cedar Rapids stretch of the river. Using his own money,
he put up a temporary chain-link fence around the mobile-home park.
His concern has been the risk that large logs and other woody debris, some of it placed by the county as fish habitat, pose to people using the river for sport.
Crews with King County recently installed about 800 feet of wooden fence between the river and an open area and then the mobile-home park. Pillon’s chain-link fence remained in place, too.
He called the county’s fence “a joke.”
“It will not keep kids out,” he said.
The split-rail fence near the mobile-home park is commonly used in parks, said Bleifuhs. It’s designed to limit public access to ar-eas where the river’s banks are eroding, he said.
“We want to make sure people know that as they access the site to use cau-tion,” he said. The project will include some interpre-tive information, too.
The fence on the river’s west side wasn’t part of the original fencing plan designed to address the the east side of the Cedar where the bank continues to erode. But the county reconsidered after listen-ing the Pillon’s concerns, Bleifuhs said.
But Pillon is not done.Next on his list is the
logjam in the side channel across State Route 169 from what was once a county maintenance facility and is now a recycling business.
“The log jam is now the target,” he said of the site upriver from Cedar Rapids. “I am going to take a chain saw to it.”
Years ago, Pillon did something similar, pulling
logs from the Cedar and running afoul of the law.
The county has assessed the side-channel logjam a number of occasions, including with the Sher-iff ’s Office, Bleifuhs said, concluding that it will leave the natural logjam in place. It’s visible to rafters and boaters headed down river and there are warning signs. The monitoring will continue.
The logjam hasn’t changed and is “well an-chored,” he said. The main flow of the river – about 99 percent – goes to the right of the side channel, he said. Some water does fill the channel in high water, he said.
Next, sometime this summer the county will install a fence on the east side of the river roughly directly across from the Riverbend park. That’s the site where crews removed a large logjam last spring that
had forced the closure of the Cedar River to rafters.
First, the county will remove a “pinch point” where a levee pushes out into the river, causing it to narrow and speed up.
The county had placed large rocks in the winter of 2010 in an emergency project to prevent damage to nearby homes from high river flows. The county re-ceived a violation from U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for placing those rocks without a permit.
Now, by removing the rocks, the county will take care of the violation.
In order to remove the pinch point, the county purchased a house and land for $280,000 that the emergency levee project was designed to protect. The work will be done in July or August.
Dean A. Radford can be reached at 425-255-3484.
No proposal this year for mandatory life-jacket use on rivers
King County will remove this ‘pinch point’ on the Cedar River near Cedar Rapids that was created when the county made emergency levee repairs two winters ago when the Cedar was running at high levels. dean a. RadfoRd, Renton Reporter

The Lindbergh boys baseball season came to an end with a 9-1 loss to North Kitsap in the district tournament May 12.
Earlier in the day, the Eagles (16-3) topped Franklin Pierce 8-0 thanks to another standout performance by Matt
Stuart.On the mound,
Stuart was nearly perfect, allowing only one walk. He
didn't give up any hits and struck out 11. At the
plate, Stuart went 4-4 with four RBI. Cooper Stevens had two RBI.
Against North Kitsap, Lindbergh took and early 1-0 lead, but gave up three runs in the top of the second to fall behind. Kitsap scored six runs in the top of the seventh.
Hazen senior Jimmy Schmidt pitched a one-hit shutout as the High-landers beat Enumclaw 1-0 to advance to the 3A state tournament for the first time since 2008.
The Highlanders (15-7) take on Kennewick (18-7) May 19 at 10 a.m. in Yakima in the first round of state.
Against Enumclaw, Schmidt threw a perfect game through 19 batters, al-lowed just one hit and needed only 59 pitches to get through the game.
The game's only score came in the third when Eric Jacobs got on base with a single. Kyle Nelson drove him home with an RBI double.
In a seeding game, Hazen later lost to Peninsula 9-1. Jake Kolterman hit a first-inning RBI-single to give Hazen a brief lead.
Hazen lost to Columbia River 5-4 May 9 in the district tournament.
Columbia River took an early lead, scoring three runs in the top of the first inning. After that inning, Hazen’s Jake Kolterman settled down and threw five shutout innings.
Kolterman hit a home run in the fifth to get Hazen on the board. Columbia River added another run in the seventh on a bases-loaded balk.
Zac Kolterman and Tyler Wicks had RBI to lead Hazen back to a tie in the bottom of the seventh inning. Columbia River took the lead again in the ninth on another bases-loaded balk.
Hazen outhit Columbia River seven
to three, but left 13 runners on base.This isn’t the first time close balk
calls have hurt the team. Hazen was eliminated from the playoffs last sea-son when a game-winning double was called back because the umpires called a late balk on the opposing pitcher.

The Hazen boys soccer team beat Columbia River 2-1 Saturday to advance to the 3A state tournament for the first time since 2007.
“This team really turned around,” said Hazen coach Ken Matthews. “That Tyee game was so critical. Something happened to this team in that game.”
The Highlanders (9-5-4) tied Tyee 1-1 April 3. After that game, the team went 5-1 in league play to finish the year and now has won two straight playoff games to make state.
On Saturday, the teams played a scoreless first half and Jalen Conway broke open the scoring 15 minutes into the second half by heading in a cross from Ryan Wong to put Hazen up 1-0. Conway scored again minutes later on a cross from Luis Puga to give the
Highlanders a 2-0 lead.“Jalen, holy cow, he came out of
nowhere,” Matthews said.Columbia River added a late goal
when Hazen goalkeeper Freddie Jeronimo made a great stop on a penalty kick, but the Chieftains kept at it and sank a shot seconds
later.On the whole, Matthews said he
was pleased with the performance of the defense, Jeronimo plus

After tying for the 2A state ten-nis title last year, the Lindbergh tennis team certainly isn’t sneak-ing up on anyone this year.
“It looks really promising here at the end of the year,” said Lind-bergh coach Steve Bergquist. “If everything stays on par, we should be one of the favorites to win state again.”
Last year, the team made a splash, going from third at dis-tricts to first at state. Freshman Joe Kwiatkowski won a district title and placed second at state in boys singles. Adrian Villanueva and Sam Bayna took second in boys doubles. But the team’s talent goes beyond those three.
“It’s not just at the top,” Bergquist said. “We’re fairly deep.”
Lindbergh added freshman Alan Kwiatkowski, Joe’s brother. Alan played in the team’s No.
1 singles spot for most of the season.
The team won a league title
through the regular season and dominated the Seamount League tournament and sent 11 players to the district tournament, which is a school record.
Alan Kwiatkows-ki won the boys singles champi-onship and Joe Kwiatkowski
took second. Vil-lanueva and Bayna
won the boys doubles title. Boris Oks and Bobby Huynh took second.
Oks is a junior transfer from Kennedy Catholic. He came within one win of making the 3A
state tournament in boys doubles last season for the Lancers.
Kelly Saivong and Jeannie Joy Walters won the girls doubles title, while Dwina Solihin and Maria Phan placed third. Quinn Osborn finished third in girls singles. Osborn was also close to state last year, and Bergquist said he hopes she can take the next step this year.
Bergquist said the team’s early-season trip to Palm Springs to the BNP Paribas Open helped make the team even closer.
“It really got the kids motivated and together,” he said. “They’ve really gelled as a team.”
The district tournament at Sprinker Recreation Center concludes Saturday. The 2A state tournament is at the Nordstrom Tennis Center in Seattle May 25-26.
