Vice President Joe Biden praises Renton Technical College programs in visit to cityBY BRIAN BECKLEY
Vice President Joe Biden made an appearance Thursday at Renton Technical College, celebrating the college’s receipt of multiple federal grants that have expanded
programs at the school and helped get people back to work.“What you’re doing is you’re building dreams here, man,”
Biden said. “I mean that.”The vice president’s appearance was part of a day-long visit
to the Seattle area that included a fundraiser for Sen. Maria Cantwell, as well as a tour of some of RTC’s classrooms and machine shops.

Several fees and charges will be going up throughout the city as part of next year’s budget, though most of the increase that will affect residents are minor.
The City Council this week heard from the Planning, Administrative Services, Community Services, Fire Department, courts and City Attorney as part of the budget review process for the 2015-16 biennium.
The largest increases in the next bien-nial budget come in the way of impact fees, as the city continues to implement a phased-in plan to bring impact fees up to the average of nine surrounding cities.

N Renton Schools bus driver helps save injured man
BY TRACEY COMPTON
The heroics of Renton school bus driver Laurie Henrickson were tested recently, when she helped an injured man during one of her regular routes to pick up kids.
“I was coming around this embankment when I saw this elderly gentleman laying on the ground and he was bleeding,” said Hen-rickson.
She’s only been with the district for four months as a substitute driver and did not have any children on the bus at the time of the encounter. Usually her days have been spent learning her routes, looking up directions and getting lost.
But as soon as she saw the man, she put on her hazard lights, radioed dis-patch and told them to call 911. Henrickson jumped off the bus and asked the man if he was OK and what happened.
“I was trying to get him in the upright position so his cut was above his heart
because he was bleeding pretty bad,” she said.Henrickson also flagged a neighbor to call
the police and got another person to help her move the man inside his house. The elderly man was to heavy for her to lift on her own. Apparently, the man was going outside to get his newspaper, when he bent over and his cane gave out and he smacked his head on the ground.
“By the time I was getting on the bus all the emergency crews were coming around the corner to help the guy,” she said.
Although Henrickson said she normally
responds well to emergency situations, she credits the emergency and first aid training she received in the district, especially from instructor Chuck DeSmith, for preparing her for this emergency.
“The training that the school district in Renton that they put you through, like the CPR and first aid, it was one of the best first aid and CPR classes I’ve ever had,” she said. “They train you and prepare you and the people who have worked here for a long time - it’s all influ-ential when you get out there and a situation happens. You’re prepared. It just helps.”
Henrickson said all the Renton bus drivers have seen a lot of situations and having heard some of their stories helped her be prepared as well.
“I think what Laurie did is very impressive being is that she is a brand new driver, freshly trained from our training program, freshly trained from first aid,” said Helen Shindell-Butler.
Shindell-Butler is the assistant director of transportation for the Renton School District. All the district’s drivers are well prepared for a variety of situations, she said.
“They keep their kids in tune and are always on the watch,” she said. “They basically are the eyes of the district.”
After a week in the hospital, Henrickson heard the elderly gentleman had been released and is doing fine. Tracey Compton can be reached at 425-255-3484, ext. 5250

DISTRICT HOSTS PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPERTY
SALES The Renton School District
will hold two public hearings on plans to sell two pieces of undeveloped, district-owned
land near Hazelwood and Tiffany Park elementary schools.
The public hearings are being held because of a procedural
error, wrote Randy Matheson, district spokesperson in an email. There were previous hearings on the sale of the
property, but for one of the hearing the district did not place
a notice in the local paper as per procedure in the prescribed
timeline. The separate hearings are the
two separate parcels of land will be back to back starting at
7 p.m. on Oct. 29. “These supplemental hearings
will ensure compliance with state law as the district
proceeds with the sale of these properties,” wrote Matheson.

Even though Jennifer Westby’s mom died in 2009, she can still remember what she looked like, sounded like and how she laughed. Her memories are vivid because of the legacy career that sprouted from the trag-edy of her mother’s death.
Roberta, Jennifer’s mom, had a brain hemorrhage and died six days later at Valley Medical Center. That same year, turning grief into something positive, Jennifer wrote a book, “Six Days of Kindness, Grieving with Love and Purpose,” inspired by her mother’s kindness and the kindness she received from the com-munity and Valley Medical when her mother passed.
Now, Jennifer wants to donate $60,000 to Val-ley Medical Center from her future book sales to return that kindness. Valley wrote off Roberta’s medical expenses as she didn’t have any medical insurance at the time of her death.
Friends, family and hos-
pital staff showed kindness and thoughtful support for Jennifer and her two broth-ers, Kyle and Ryan, and sister Valerie during their ordeal.
“So the book is now going back to the kind-ness that was started by my mom’s legacy and at the hospital and giving back to the hospital that was so kind to my mom,” said Jennifer.
Roberta was known for her acts of kindness. She would often do little things like pay for people’s coffee in front of her or behind her in line at coffee shops. On the website for her book, Jennifer describes her mother as hilarious, strong and positive.
“She was the type of person who could be in Hallmark, down the card aisle just dying of laughter because she was having so much fun,” said Jennifer.
Taking from her mom’s acts of kindness, Jennifer’s book centers on perform-ing acts of kindness every month for six days, between Oct. 19 and 24. For her
first act of kind-ness, she bought a man’s cof-fee at the Lakewood Forza, fol-lowing the incident there where four police of-ficers were killed.
Jennifer wasn’t sure if she should go to the coffee shop at the time, but was reassured by the 911 opera-tor, who took the barista’s call that day. The operator posted on Jennifer’s Face-book fan page when Jen-nifer asked for a sign as to whether or not she should go. Her other acts of kind-ness have included making cash donations to various causes and giving people money for groceries.
Jennifer, who used to suf-fer from anxiety and panic attacks, said she’s learned a lot through grief she wants to pass on to others.
“It made me realize how much I wanted to do some-thing to make an impact in my mom’s honor, but also to show my kids and keep my mom in our lives,” she said.
Jennifer is just starting to sell her self-published book. Since she wrote, “Six Days of Kindness,” she has also
started a grief makeover business to help those who have lost someone to death or divorce. Her support team of stylists, photogra-phers and counselors trans-form the grieving person in three to six months and check-in after that time. Jennifer realizes there is no set timeline for healing from a loss, but says it’s a way for a person to start the process.
“It’s a complete make-over, but it’s a makeover on the inside as well,” she said. “We’re helping people grow themselves, develop them-selves personally in honor of that person or situation,” she said.
Jennifer gets nomina-tions for grief makeovers from all across the country and has taken two people so far through the process. Currently, she has five to six people in the works.
“I’ve learned so much from grief and while it’s not fun and it’s horrible,” she said. “Depending upon whether you’ve lost some-body or through a divorce or something, there’s always a nugget of information to learn about yourself to make yourself better.”

For the first time ever, “The Rocky Horror Show” is being staged at the Renton Civic Theatre.
Directed by Alan Wilkie, it opens tonight, Friday, and runs through Nov. 1, with a special midnight showing on Halloween.
Made famous by the movie of a similar name, the show is a humorous send up of the science fic-tion and horror B-movies of the late 1940s through the early 1970s. The musical is the tale of two “healthy, virginal, 1950s All-Amer-ican kids,” Brad and Janet, whose car breaks down, said Wilkie.
Looking for a phone, they stumble upon a castle and a transvestite, Frank N. Furter, who’s building a man named Rocky Horror.
Wilkie calls the produc-tion a spoof of rock-n-roll, old Universal horror films and burlesque. The second half of the show has a lot of people in lingerie.
For this run, Wilkie has chosen to add a bit of a punk rock edge to the show, instead of the 1950s doo-wop. The character “Eddie,” played by Steve West, has been styled after Sid Vi-cious more than the Elvis clone, originally played by Meatloaf in the film.
“I asked my musical director and I decided to
make it a little bit more metal,” said Wilkie. “So I’ve got a little more head-
banging; a little more heavy on the base; a little more on the thrash guitar.”
Originally a Broadway show and then the famous film, “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” has achieved cult status and had audi-ences participating in the show and throwing things, since the late 1970s, when it became a midnight show in cinemas.
“When the film first came out back in the ‘70s it died; it didn’t do very well, but it had been really successful in London,” said Wilkie of the stage version.
He saw the show in Lon-don on stage in 1979 and as a teenager would eventually go to the Neptune and par-ticipate in the “shadow cast” or those that mimic the actors on the screen in front of the cinema audience. Wilkie remembers when audiences started partici-pating in the movie.
“And then in New York they started yelling back at the screen,” he said. “It was the gay community
that took a liking to it and started yelling back at the screen and people started acting out in front…and it became a big party, where you dress up and it just be-came a happening, I guess.”
The production lends itself to a party atmosphere and plays better on stage at old movie houses, said Wilkie.
“I think it just needs that, the whole audience partici-

What’s in YOUR wallet? If you’re like many of us, you don’t really
know: Grocery club cards, old receipts, credit cards, a gift card or two, maybe even your Social Security card. Now imagine your wallet is lost or stolen.
If you don’t know what’s in there, how are you going to report the loss to your creditors, the Social Security Administration, your bank, the police?
Here are some simple steps you can take to reduce your risk of identity theft and make your life easier if your wallet is stolen or lost.
• Go through your wallet and take out anything you haven’t used in the past few months. Your Social Security card, rarely used credit cards, gift cards that you’ve forgotten about. Put them in a safe place – a locked desk drawer or file cabinet. If you need them, you’ll know where to find them.
When was the last time someone asked you for your Social Security card anyway?
• Make a photocopy – front and back – of the items that remain in your wallet, and put the copies in a safe place. If you need to report something stolen, you’ll have your account numbers AND the phone numbers to call right at your fingertips.
• Keep your wallet in a safe place! At home, at work, while you’re out and about – consider where your wallet is physically located. Do you toss your wallet in a desk drawer at work or put your purse under your work station? If it’s a public place, your property is vulner-able – it only takes a minute while you’re in the restroom for someone to wander by and help themselves to your credit cards. Lock your purse or wallet in a desk drawer, and take the keys with you. When you’re out shopping and your wallet is in your purse, is your purse zipped shut and kept close to you (i.e. NOT sit-ting in your shopping cart!)?
It might be convenient to keep your wallet in your back pocket, but it’s vulnerable to pick-pockets. Keep your wallet in your front pocket, and wrap a rubber band around it to make it more difficult to remove.
• If you have an enhanced ID or credit cards with RFID (“contactless cards”), they need spe-cial attention as they can be “cloned” without ever being taken out of your wallet. Special wallets, card sleeves, even aluminum foil can be used to protect your card accounts and I.D. from being cloned.
A stolen gift card is disappointing; a stolen Social Security card could be the beginning of a long and frustrating bout with identity theft. Be smart about what you keep in your wallet and carry with you, and help protect yourself against fraud and identity theft!Terri Vickers is the Community Programs co-ordinator for the Renton Police Department.
For ID safety, keep only what’s really necessary in your wallet

In 2009, the U.S. Preventive Task Force (USPTF) released research that changed the guidelines for mammogram screening. Since the release of these altered guidelines, there has been significant confusion about when women
should begin to receive regular mammograms.
The new guidelines sug-gest the average woman should wait to have regular mammograms until age 50 (formerly 40) at a frequency of every two years (instead of annually) until age 74.
A key reminder: the USPTF recommenda-tion is for screening mammograms. Mam-mograms are still needed at almost any age if a lump is found. The recommendation also does not apply to all women, only for the average woman. Women at especially high risk may want to start mammograms at age 40 or even
earlier. Every woman should check with her health-
care provider to make an informed decision. Early detection of breast cancer could save your life.
What many women don’t know is that under the Affordable Care Act, every insured woman is entitled to a screening preventative mammo-gram at no cost.
Yes, you read that correctly; a preventative mammogram screening is free for insured women. There is no copay, no coinsurance, and no charge to the individual for that mammo-gram.
Every woman is also entitled a self-referral for screening preventative mammograms. What does mean? Any woman over 40 who does not currently have a breast health prob-lem or new lump can simply call the Breast

Tana Senn would focus state issues on the family
I would like to bring your attention to an exceptional candidate I am supporting for state representative. Her name is Tana Senn and she was appointed last fall when Marcie Maxwell left the legislature to serve as Gov. Inslee’s education adviser.
I had the pleasure of meeting Tana back in July when she was in my neighborhood knock-ing on doors and introducing herself to voters.
She is a mom with two children in public schools, has local government experience, and a master’s in Public Administration.
Tana has an impressive background, but more importantly she has the right focus. As she put it, “We need to be focusing on the major issues effecting families, like fully fund-ing education, improving transportation, and creating work place policies that allow us to raise kids and advance our careers.” I agree

Make sure Eastside growth doesn’toutstrip our energy capacity
We must upgrade the grid to power our growing economy
pse.com/energizeeastside
The Eastside is growing faster than any other region in Washington. Yet, demand for reliable electricity will exceed capacity in the near future. We need a plan to meet this challenge now.Conservation alone won’t do it — we need substantial electric infrastructure upgrades. That’swhy PSE is working with Eastside communities on a safe, reliable solution to make sure yourlights keep glowing and businesses keep humming for decades to come.
and I think we need more legislators who can bring a family ori-ented perspective to Olympia.
Since meeting Tana, I have been following her campaign and I’ve been pleased to see her support grow. She has been endorsed by seven Eastside mayors, by women’s and environmental groups, and was even featured in a Washington Post article reporting that “family centered policy proposals have taken center stage.”
Tana is the type of representative we need here in the 41st Legislative District. I hope you’ll join me in voting for her this November.

Center herself without seeing a physician to obtain an “order” or referral.
Now, let’s try to provide some clarity on the conflicting USPTF guidelines for mammogram screening: The biggest risk factor for breast cancer is simply being a woman who is getting older, and that’s why it’s so important to be screened regularly. The bottom line is that annual mammograms help detect breast cancer early and improve the chances that it can be successfully treated. Let’s be honest, nobody looks forward to having a mammogram, but keep in mind that the implications of not having one could be life-saving.
In many cases, early detection is what makes the key difference in a successful treatment.
At the UW/VMC Breast Center all mammogram screening is focused on care, compassion, and comfort. The Breast Center at UW | Valley Medical Center is open 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday – Friday and 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturdays. To learn more, or to make a self-referred appointment, call 425-656-5588 or visit www.valleymed.org/breastcenter.

[ LETTER from page 6]
A 67-year-old Renton man who illegally collected his father’s Social Security benefit checks for 17 years after his father’s death has been sentenced to a year in prison, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Annette L. Hayes.
Patrick M. Derrick pleaded guilty to theft of public funds in May 2014, admitting that for 17 years following his father’s death he continued to collect and spend the Social Security payments that were wrongly deposited in his father’s bank account.
In order to execute the fraud, Derrick repeatedly forged his father’s signature on bank docu-ments.
At sentencing U.S. District Judge Ricardo S. Martinez noted that Social Security funds are public money set aside for the needy and disabled. Derrick “stole from the most vulnerable who need these benefits to survive,” Judge Martinez
said.According to records filed in
the case, Derrick’s father died in November 1996 but Derrick never informed the Social Security Administration (SSA) of his father’s death. Monthly benefits continued to be paid into the father’s bank account, and Derrick would with-draw the money by writing a check to himself and forging his father’s signature.
In all, Derrick stole 201 monthly Social Security payments totaling $219,032.
In September 2013, SSA learned of the father’s death. When inter-viewed by federal agents, Derrick initially denied knowing about the payments to his father’s account and denied taking the money.
Derrick had a 21-year military career, followed by a 17-year career with Boeing. Prosecutors argued that this was not a case where the defendant was living on the mar-
gins and needed the extra money to survive.
Addressing the court, Derrick said he started taking the money to “make ends meet” between his military and Boeing careers, and never seemed to be able to catch up with the bills. He admitted using the money to pay college tuition for his daughter and to make dona-tions to his church. He said it is a relief that the “wait for the knock on the door is over.”
The Western District of Wash-ington is a national leader in pursu-ing fraud on Social Security benefit programs.
Eight other defendants have been charged over the last 18 months with theft of government funds for fraudulently collecting Social Se-curity benefits for years after their parents’ death. As a result of the prosecutions, courts in this district have ordered in excess of $1 million in restitution to the United States.

The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.
BY DEAN A. RADFORD
A 38-year-old Seattle woman tracked by a Tuk-wila Police K9 Unit to a homeless camp in a wooded area off Carr Road Oct. 7 was arrested for fourth-degree assault.
Her boyfriend of five years and the father of her 9-month-old child told officers she bit him on the head while he tried to stop her from attacking a couple walking on a trail leading to
the camp.The boyfriend was smok-
ing a cigarette when he struck up a conversation with the couple. For no reason the suspect began attacking the couple, a 27-year-old Seatac man and a 25-year-old Kent woman.
The boy-friend and the Seatac man tried to stop the suspect from attacking the Kent woman.
The suspect tried to gouge her eye.
The Kent woman was able to get free and ran,
ending up at a Texaco gas station and was joined by the two men. She didn’t want to pursue charges against the suspect.
A Renton officer and Tukwila K9 Unit found the homeless camp up the trail on the north side of 10400 block of Carr Road. The officers announced their presence and the woman emerged from a tent. She declined to be interviewed.
She was booked into the SCORE regional jail for in-vestigation of domestic vio-lence fourth-degree assault for biting her boyfriend.
MAN PUNCHES EX-GIRLFRIEND: A 25-year-old Renton man was arrested Oct. 3 after he punched his former girlfriend twice near her temple with his fist.
The 17-year-old girl told officers her ex-boyfriend has been stalking her since they broke up. They had argued at a restaurant, then she walked off toward a church to seek safety. He followed her and they con-tinued to argue.
He pushed her against the glass window of a building; two employees of a nearby business told him to stop.
He grabbed her and she hit him in the face to try to get away. He then hit her and walked off on South Third Street. She went
into a church, where she thought she would be safe.
The suspect was arrested nearby and booked into the SCORE regional jail for in-vestigation of fourth-degree assault.
ARMED MEN ROB HOTEL: Three armed men robbed a hotel on East Val-ley Road of about $1,000 in cash early Oct. 1.
One of the men en-tered first to inquire about the cost to rent a room. Unhappy with the price quoted, he left but returned about 10 minutes with two other men.
Two men pointed their handguns at the clerk and said they would kill him if he didn’t get down on the floor.
Cash was removed from two drawers and two other cabinets were forced open. In a back area they stole a cash box with hotel coupons and Starbucks gift cards worth about $50.
They demanded he open safety-deposit boxes but the renters had the second key.
A suspect grabbed the wallet from his pants as he lay of the floor, but he didn’t have any cash and his credit cards weren’t stolen. The three then fled out of the front door, their hoodies pulled tightly to their faces.
The K9 unit from the Tukwila Police Department searched the area, but the suspects were gone.
BROWN BAG DEAD GIVEWAY: “Whaaaa? Whaa you talkin’ about?”
But the 28-year-old Tacoma man wasn’t fooling the Renton Police officer who saw the bloodshot eyes and heard the slurred speech.
The officer on foot patrol at the Renton Transit Center downtown saw the obviously intoxicated man holding a large open can partially hidden in a brown paper bag. That’s typically the way people drink alco-hol in public.
He was hunched over a railing near bus bay No. 5. The officer asked him what was he drinking today, which is when the man asked the officer to explain herself. The top of opened can showed “8.1% ALC/VOL.”
He was arrested for unlawful transit conduct for drinking alcohol in public. The officer emptied out the cold-to-the-touch,

The Tacoma man was told to leave and to expect a criminal citation in the mail.
TRANSIENT HITS WOMAN IN FACE: A 51-year-old transient lying on the side-walk screaming at other transients Oct. 6 on South Third Street hit a woman in the face who tried to help her.
An officer recognized her from multiple previous contacts and could smell a strong odor of intoxicants. She screamed “no” when the officer asked her whether she understood her Miranda rights.
She was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of fourth-degree as-sault. An officer went through her three bags of belongings, separating them into trash, into something she could take with her to jail and finally into stuff to inventory.
The 18-year-old woman who tried to help her was treated at Valley Medical Center.
INDECENT EXPOSURE: A 33-year-old Renton man upset that he had just hit and killed a bird while driving on State Route 167 Sept. 30 decided he needed some coffee and a cigarette to calm down.
He pulled into the shopping area on Grady Way, where he caught the atten-tion of a woman in the drive-through of a restaurant.
She reported that he was exposing him-self in the parking lot outside a coffee shop. An officer investigating a collision nearby
responded. The man’s pants were unzipped but he denied he had exposed himself. He was checking his car for any feathers from the bird he had hit and certainly wouldn’t do that with his privates exposed.
The woman was confident of what she saw and gave a detailed description.
He finally admitted his pants were unzipped and he may or may not have had some exposure but he didn’t do it on purpose.
He asked the officer whether he was free to go if he confessed; the officer told him he couldn’t make that deal.
The suspect was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of indecent exposure.
MAN URINATES NEAR SCHOOL STOP: A man was reported urinating near a school bus stop at about 9 a.m. Oct. 8 near Davis Avenue South.
The reporting party did not want to have the man cited for indecent exposure. But he was concerned that children walking in the area could see him.
Police determined the man is a registered sex offender; he’s listed as a transient. The case was forwarded to Renton Police detec-tives for review.
VEHICLES PROWLED: The personal vehicles of several City of Renton employ-ees parked at the Liberty Park were broken into early Oct. 3.
Security video at the park showed two suspects get out of a gold sedan at about the time of the vehicle prowls.

neyQuest,” the TV series and films “The Gamers” series. Wilkie was surprised to hear that Doyle even has drinks named after him at Renton gamers’ bar AFK Tavern.
The production’s biggest problem was finding high heels in men’s sizes, big enough for Tanner Kline, who plays “Rocky.” They had to go online to find boots for Kline who is 6’1”.
Already the show has one patron who’s bought tickets to every show.“I think they’ll have fun; that’s why I like the show,” said Wilkie. “There’s not a lot
of messages; it’s not a deep show. We’re not doing Ibsen, we’re not doing Shakespeare, but it’s a party.”

Pumpkins, squash and mums are all plants that celebrate the fall season. An inexpensive way to decorate your home or porch for the change in seasons is to harvest all your squash, apples, corn, tomatoes, peppers and other produce and
display your garden bounty in a basket or tray.
Even a basket of colorful leaves raked from the lawn and set near the front door will remind you and your visitors to enjoy the colors
of the new season. If you have time and twine, you can use a stapler to secure maple leaves to a length of twine and then frame your front door or windows with a garland of fall colors.
Q. I want to cook a pumpkin pie with our Jack O lantern once
Halloween is over. Can we still put the carved pumpkin outdoors for a week or
so before baking? How long does it take for a pumpkin to rot after carving? T.S., Renton
A. Jack does not make good pie. Pumpkins sold for carving are
not as sweet and tender as baking pump-kins. Better to use a carving pumpkin on the front porch and a baking pumpkin for pies. You can expect a carved pumpkin to last for several weeks without rotting outdoors if it is kept cool and dry. You can find “baking pumpkins” at grocery stores and farmer’s markets. They are specially labeled and often more expensive. These baking pumpkins have great guts but no glory as they end up mashed and baked rather than carved and filled with light.
Q. Is fall a good time to cut back my tall ornamental grasses? I
am not sure what type they are as we just moved into this home and are in the pro-cess of cutting back and moving plants. T.T., Sumner
A. Congrats on the new home and renovation fever but you may
want to wait until early spring to cut back
any tall ornamental grasses. Winter is when the tall miscanthus grasses add tex-ture and bird food to the landscape and the traditional pruning time in Western Washington is to celebrate the Valentine’s Day Massacre by cutting all brown and shaggy grasses down to a few inches tall. Early spring pruning allows the fresh spring growth to take over and hide the stumpy brown remnants of winter.
Pruning tall grasses in the fall may not kill your grassy clumps but it could stimulate new growth right when winter arrives. Evergreen ornamental grasses that do not turn brown in the winter such as black Mondo grass, carex, blue fescue and sedges should not be pruned at all. If you need to tidy up these evergreen grasses, wait until spring and divide up the clumps, removing weak and dead sections but do not cut them down to the ground as you would taller grasses.
Q. Please explain again how and when to prune hydrangeas. I have
one in the front that has beautiful purple blossoms but is getting too large. P., Email
A. Mop head hydrangeas with round flower heads can be
pruned now or in the early spring by following the branch that has a flower cluster at the end and cutting down low inside the center of the shrub. This type of hydrangea is the macrophylla or big- leaf hydrangea and it blooms on two-year- old branches. If you prune back all the branches, your hydrangea will not flower the next summer. The trick is to shorten up only the branches that have already flowered and leave the branches with green leaves but no blooms untouched as these will bloom next summer. Always remove the three D’s – anything dead, diseased or damaged. Always shorten up any branches in the way of walkways or mowers. Put people before plants when it comes to overly ambitious growth of any tree or shrub.

reer Training program, which has awarded more than $450 million to 270 community colleges across the country.
The most recent funding will go to creating apprenticeship programs to con-nect students at the school with potential employers. Biden called the apprenticeships a “pathway back into the middle class” and drew on his background as “Middle Class Joe” and said “the middle class is hurting” but was optimistic about the outlook.
“We can do this folks, we really can,” he said, calling community colleges “the country’s best kept secret” and telling the audience that his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, was back in Virginia teaching at a community college while he spoke.
Biden was introduced by James Cantway of Renton, a 34-year-old student in Renton Technical’s property maintenance program. Cantway said he volunteered to introduce the vice president, who related to Cantway’s experience as a single father and encour-aged him not to give up in getting his education.
“It was a great experience,” Cantway said after.
Biden praised Cantway for going back to school at his age.
“Imagine the courage it takes,” Biden said.
Prior to his brief remarks, Biden took a short tour of the college with RTC Presi-dent Steve Hanson, Renton Mayor Denis Law and Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell. Biden called the aerospace program “incredible” and met a handful of those going through it.
According to the vice president’s remarks, 700 students have enrolled in pro-grams made possible by the grant funding and 550 have already graduated, with 150 of those going to Boeing.
Hanson called the day “a great experience for students.”
“It affirms why we’re here,” he said.Law agreed and said the visit was “confir-
mation” of the success of RTC’s programs. He also said it was great to see Biden interact with the students and also called it a “big deal” to have have the vice president come to Renton to highlight the college.
“Renton Technical College is one of the
crown jewels of this city,” Law said. “They don’t just talk about it, they make a differ-ence here.”

through Renton as part of the 18-mile project designed to replace the current transmission lines with higher capac-ity lines, something the company said is needed to meet energy needs of the future. Through Renton, PSE had selected two possible routes, the “M” Route, utilizing the current right-of-way near Monroe Avenue Northeast, and the “L” Route, which would have taken the lines along the former rail-road easement near Lake Washington and Gene Coulon Memorial Park.
The preliminary route recom-mendation is based on information gathered over the past year, commu-nity feedback, survey results, and the results of a “multi-objective decision analysis,” called MODA, which is a process for making decisions involv-ing very complex issues. The MODA evaluation was completed by 19 out of 24 advisory group members.
Of the 18 advisory group members present on Oct. 8, 15 members sup-ported the preliminary route recom-mendation; two abstained and one had a dissenting opinion to include only three routes.
The Community Advisory Group’s preliminary recommendation includes the following routes (listed north-to-south):
• Ash (Segments A-C-D-F-G1-I-K2-M-N)
• Oak (Segments A-C-E-G2-I-K2-M-N)
• Redwood (Segments A-C-E-G2-G1-H-K1-K2-M-N)
• Willow (Segments A-C-E-J-M-N)To view these routes and the others
that were evaluated visit http://www.energizeeastside.com/interactive-map.
CAG member and Kennydale Neighborhood Association president Darius Richards said his time on the group was “interesting and challeng-
ing” and said the “M” route was cho-sen because it presents fewer problems than the “L” route along the water.
“The proposed ‘L’ segment is loaded with problems that go well beyond simple aesthetics, including: a unique shoreline environment subject to restrictions contained in the Renton Shoreline Management Plan; ex-tremely narrow rail corridor that would place the power poles less than 50 feet from the majority of homes; impacts to the enjoyment of this stretch of lakeshore (including Gene Coulon Park) by the hundreds of bicy-clists, walkers and drivers who pass by daily; a well-founded legal challenge to assertations by Puget Sound Energy (and others) that they have easement rights to the rail corridor; extensive
cutting of trees along the “L” route (520 trees, according to data provided by PSE);...and the list goes on,” he said in an email.
Because of the difficulties and problems, Richards said the “L” route was eliminated during discussions at the final two CAG meeting, though he said it would be “unwise” for residents to assume they have reached “home plate.”
“There are still decisions to be made, and there will be opportunities for the public to weigh in,” he said, adding that no neighborhood wants the taller towers. “I encourage all East-side residents to consider the case for alternative solutions to the Energize Eastside proposal.”
PSE initially identified 18 potential route options for the new, higher-capacity electric transmission lines that will stretch the 18 miles between Redmond and Renton, along with a new substation. In July, the project’s Community Advisory Group recom-mended 11 of those routes for further evaluation. That number has now been narrowed to four.
Continuing feedback from the pub-lic will help the advisory group make its final recommendation to PSE in December. PSE will ultimately make the final decision on which route is selected.
The public is encouraged to weigh in on the Community Advisory Group’s preliminary route recommen-dation at open houses on Nov. 12 in Renton and Nov. 13 in Redmond, and by using an online open house feature that launches in early November at pse.com/energizeeastside.

[ ROUTES from page 1] November ballots headed to votersKing County Elections mailed ballots Wednesday to
nearly 1.2 million registered voters for the Nov. 4 general election.
On the ballot are state legislative and congressional of-fices, as well as judicial offices, including the state Supreme Court, District Court and state Court of Appeals.
The only county race is for King County prosecuting attorney, in which incumbent Dan Satterberg is running unopposed.
There are five statewide measures (three initiatives and two advisory votes) on ballots this election.
There are no Renton measures or candidates on the ballot.
Voters do not need to make a selection in every race for votes to count. Voters may leave a race blank or “write in” the name of a candidate for a race on the ballot. They shouldn’t write “none of the above” or a frivolous name; that increases processing costs.
Voters will receive two voters’ pamphlets this election, one from the state and one from King County Elections. Voters’ pamphlets are mailed separately and may arrive on a different day than ballots. Voters may also check MyVoterGuide for a customized voters’ pamphlet online at the Elections Division website, www.kingcounty.gov/elections.
Voters should read and follow directions on their bal-lots, sign the return envelope, and get ballots back before the Nov. 4 election day deadline. Mailed ballots need a first-class stamp. Voters also have 25 locations (available online) to return ballots without a stamp by 8 p.m. on Nov. 4, including permanent drop box locations, sched-uled ballot drop-off vans and Accessible Voting Centers.
Citizens not yet registered to vote in Washington state have until Oct. 27 at 4:30 p.m. to register in person at King County Elections offices to vote in the primary election:

The Renton Senior Activity Center is hoping to draw in some new members by trying something they’ve never done before: evening hours.
Beginning this month, the center will stay open on Wednesdays until 9 p.m., instead of closing at 5 p.m. like it does the other days.
According to Senior Center Director Shawn Daly, the decision to keep the doors open a little longer came in response to a survey that showed residents would like the facility to stay open later.
“Obviously, more and more people – including seniors – are working during the day,” Daly said.
The hope, according to Daly, is that the extended evening hours provide an opportunity for the newly retired and the
about-to-retire to visit the facility and get involved.
To help spur a younger crowd, the senior center hosted a retirement planning semi-nar on Oct. 8 and again this past Wednes-day. Additional seminars are planned for future Wednesday evenings as well.
Most of the facilities will be open during the extended hours, though the kitchen, coffee bar and computer room will be closed. Daly said they hope to get computer classes in during the evenings in the future.
But aside from those three items, the rest of the center’s facilities will be avail-able, from the pool room to card room to the TV room and even the fitness center, though there is a $1 charge to use the fit-ness center.
Two staff members will be on hand Wednesday evenings and though Daly said the additional staffing would show up in the center’s budget, there is presently enough room in the budget and enough demand for the additional hours to make it work.
“It’s something that’s really new to us,” Daly said. “I think it’s really going to take off.”
The Renton Senior Activity Center is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Wednesdays. For more information, call 425-430-6633

N Clayton’s two TDs lead Renton past Hazen 21-9BY BRIAN BECKLEY
Elijah Clayton ran for two touchdowns Friday night to help give the Renton Indians a 21-9 vic-tory over crosstown rival Hazen in a Seamount League match-up at Renton Memorial Stadium.
Hazen got on the board first Friday with a 20-yard field goal from Jacob Black to take a 3-0 lead after the first quarter but it would not be enough.
In the second quarter, Clayton ran in a 1-yard touchdown and then later followed a 2-yard run for paydirt.
Hazen rallied, however, as quarterback Nolan Hoover hit Eli Azcueta on a 35-yard touchdown strike. The 2-point conversion was unsuccessful and the teams headed to the locker rooms with Renton up 14-9 at the half.
In the third quarter, Renton capitalized on a Hazen fumble as linebacker Wesley Edwards scooped up the ball and took it back 35 yards for
a touchdown to put the game away 21-9.Renton is now 4-2 overall and 22-2 in the
Seamount League. They travel to Meadowdale on Friday.
Hazen’s record falls to 2-4 overall and 2-1 in the Seamount. Hazen takes on Highline at 7 p.m. Friday at Renton Memorial Stadium. Friday is also Homecoming for Hazen High School.

The Lindbergh Eagles football team went out fast on Thursday and never looked back, riding a 28-point first quarter to a 49-0 victory over Evergreen at Renton Memo-rial Stadium.
The Eagles got things started with a 27-yard touchdown pass from Anthony Hill to Khalil Burton for 7-0 lead. They followed it with a 1-yard touchdown run from D’Shaun Sims.
Next, the defense got involved, forcing Evergreen into a safety. Then, Lindbergh’s Derek Armstrong returned a kickoff for a touchdown. Then, Hill hit Devon Jackson for a 63-yard touchdown pass-and-run to give the Eagles a 28-0 lead after the first quarter.
“Devon Jackson did a little bit of everything, like always,” said coach Matt Leamer.
In the second, the Eagles continued to spread the ball around with D’Angelo Faust picking up a 23-yard touch-down run. Then, Jackson picked up his second TD of the day off an 8-yard run. At the half, Lindbergh led 42-0.
The action slowed in the second half with the only scor-ing coming on a 3-yard touchdown run from Emmanuel Harvey to secure the 49-0 win.
Lindbergh is now 3-3 overall and 2-1 in the Seamount Conference. They play at Foster on Friday.

Lindbergh crushes Evergreen
BY BRIAN BECKLEY
After dropping a game to Lindbergh on Thursday that officially ended a run at a third consecutive Seamount League championship, the Hazen girls soccer team bounced back Tuesday with a 5-0 win over Evergreen.
The Lady Highlanders got a goal and three assists from senior forward Brook Swensen in the match.
Though the team will make the playoffs no matter how they finish the season, Coach Ken Matthews is challenging his squad to win their last five games and build some momentum for the postsea-son.
“One down, four to go,” he said. “I have to say this - there were a lot of positives to build off going forward.”
Swensen’s first goal came eight minutes into the game off an assist from sopho-more Amy Warmenhoven. Five minutes later, junior captain and midfielder Taylor Lenton got a pass from Swensen to put the Highlanders up 2-0.
Besides Swensen’s big night, call ups to
the roster for this week paid dividends for Hazen. They were involved in Hazen’s last four goals.
Playing her second varsity game of the season, sophomore forward Valencia Poston scored on a corner from Swensen. Junior mid Sarah Hart had a goal from freshman mid Paige Tabert, who was playing her first varsity match. Tabert then got her second assist of the game when sophomore forward Allison Sargent scored.
In the second half, freshman mid Clara Brodie got her first varsity goal in her second game assisted by Swensen.
“It was interesting to see what was happening on the field. There were some girls who stood up and out tonight and we needed that. But none bigger than Bruise,” Matthews said, using Swensen’s nickname.
On Oct. 9, Hazen fell to crosstown rival Lindbergh in a match at Renton Memo-rial Stadium.
Lindbergh’s lone goal came 13 minutes into the game, unassisted by Justine Yar-ington. Yarington scored in the previous

For example, the transportation impact fee for a single residential unit will increase from $1,430.72 in 2014 to $2,214.44 in 2015 and then increase again to $2,951.17 in 2016.
According to Planning Director Chip Vincent, the increases were planned as part of a multi-year program. Vincent said when he started with the city in 2008, fees had not been increased in 15 years and were lagging behind inflation.
However, because the increase would be so “radical,” the council opted to phase them over several years. In 2012, the city gave notice that fees would not be changing for 18 months but then would begin to increase.
“Beginning Jan. 1, 2014, the fee went up 30 percent,” Vincent said. “Then, in 2015, an-other third and finally Jan. 1, 2016, the final third kicks in.”
The next two years complete that cycle and bring the city’s fees up to the mean of sur-rounding municipalities.
“The trick was finding the sweet spot,” Vincent said of the fees.The Planning Department has been busy this year as the economy pulls out of the reces-
sion and Vincent said his department is nearly $1 million over budget this year. Next year, the department will get 2.5 employees, paid for by the surplus and an increased workload, to help meet the additional challenges.
The city is also increasing park impact fees from $963 to $1,441 on single-family resi-dential homes and the water and wastewater system development charges are also increas-ing.
Some of the city’s recreational fees will also be increasing next year. The cost of a round of golf at Maplewood, for example, will go up a couple of bucks,
while the cost of a pass card at Henry Moses Aquatic Center will increase from $50 to $60 for residents and from $100 to $120 for non-residents.
In addition, the city will finish paying off the golf-course bonds in 2015.The boat launch fee at Coulon Park will increase by the same amount.“We feel this is appropriate … to cover our expenses,” Director Terry Higashyama told
the council. “The public has told us to take care of the assets we have.”In the Administrative Services Department, the big change for next year is the switch to
a business and occupation tax. With that comes a change to how the city processes busi-ness licenses, though the cost should, generally, remain the same for businesses.
The Administrative Services Department is also hiring 3.5 new staff members to help meet the service increases of the past few years. The new hires will take the department to 42 fulltime employees, still well below the 2008 staff of 52.5.
The next step in the process will be continuing presentations to the Committee of the Whole from each city department explaining their budget requests, as well as a public hearing scheduled for 7 p.m. Oct. 20.
The first reading of the budget ordinances is expected Oct. 27 with adoption expected Nov. 3.

[ BUDGET from page 1] Contractor faces charges for failure to complete work in Renton
A Spokane County man faces unreg-istered contractor charges in connection with construction scam in Renton that bilked consumers out of thousands of dollars.
The King County Prosecutor’s Office has charged Stephen Paul Ranson, 49, of Mead in Spokane County, with one count of unregistered contracting.
Ranson was arraigned Oct. 15. The case resulted from Department of
Labor & Industries (L&I) investigations. L&I reminds consumers to never pay large deposits, don’t pay in full until the job is done, and always make sure that construction contractors are registered in Washington.
In 2013, three homeowners hired Ran-son for a $23,000 job to raise and extend a retaining wall that ran along their back yards. In August 2013, the owners each wrote checks to Ranson and Echo Falls
Construction for a total deposit of $12,015, charging papers said.
Although he hadn’t done any work, Ranson asked the owners for additional funds — more than $3,000 — a few months later. This time he used the name SR Construction Inc., according to charg-ing papers. The owners didn’t pay, and after contacting the city, learned Ranson had not even applied for permits.
It turned out the original business name Ranson used belonged to a relative, and L&I had suspended that business’s registration. In addition, L&I records show Ranson wasn’t registered as a contractor when he provided an estimate for the re-taining wall and deposited the homeown-ers’ checks.
State law requires contractors to register with L&I. To register, contractors must have liability insurance, a business license and a bond to allow for some financial recourse if the project goes awry.
Consumers can check whether a con-tractor is registered by going to www.Verify.Lni.wa.gov or calling 1-888-811-5974.

“Beneficiary Deeds” (or “Transfer on Death Deeds”) will soon be available. They will be helpful to clients with small estates that hold real estate as the only asset that will require probate. With a Beneficiary Deed, the parent can deed real estate to their children (or other beneficiary) during their lifetime. The deed can be revoked until the death of the parent. If not revoked, the deed becomes effective at the death of the parent to vest ownership in the children - - - thus avoiding the need for probate for the real estate. Please contact our office to check out this new strategy.
I have more than 40 years of experience providing thoughtful and comprehensive counsel for clients. Please call 425-227-8700 to make an appointment.Committed to you and the community.

Did You Know.....99% of adults believe a smile is an important social asset and 75% of adults believe that an unattractive smile can hurt a person’s chance of success in their careers.
50% of Americans do not visit the dentist on a regular basis and about 9 to 15% of these patients avoid dental care altogether because of fear and anxiety about going to the dentist.
