Citizens of the Year | Renton recognizes four volunteers who make a difference in the community through their service [3]
Football playoffs | Lindbergh, Hazen and Renton all prepare for playoff games [18]
BY DEAN A. RADFORD
The county’s land-use office has moved from Renton to Snoqualmie to get closer to its rural customer base.
Nearly all of the 90 employees of the county’s Department of Development and Environmental Services (DDES) on Oakesdale Avenue Southwest moved to the new headquarters.
The department also has changed its name to better reflect the services it provides to its customers. It’s now the King County Department of Permitting and Environmental Review.
The move from an urban setting to rural city is another visible sign of the changing role of county government and how it’s shrinking.
The move to Snoqualmie is expected to save $1 million a year, according to the county.
When DDES moved to Renton from Bellevue’s Eastgate area about 20 years ago, it had about 400 employees. In those decades thousands of residents in unincorporated areas have annexed to cities or formed new ones.
Now more than 65 percent of its permitting work is done in rural areas, dealing with forest, agricultural and mechanical projects, and the amount related to large housing projects is de-clining, he said.
“We still have urban area left, but no where need the volume as in the past,” he said. In fact, the new agency eventu-ally will get out of the urban permitting business completely.
There are now five major urban un-incorporated areas left in King County: Fairwood, West Hill, White Center, Klahanie and an area between Auburn and Federal Way.
Starboard expects that through some process those areas will become cities within a decade.
The office is open from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday at 35030 S.E. Douglas St., Suite 210, Snoqualmie.
County’s downsizing is evident

“Between the Lines,” the story of roman-tic competition, won for Best Picture in Renton FilmFrenzy V Tuesday night, the second top award for its producer.
Producer Mitch Shepherd of Renton won the FilmFrenzy IV Best Picture for “The Disconnect” in 2011, another love story about a man headed to his wedding who needs some advice, which he ends up getting from a stranger.
In this year’s top film, two movie actors battle for the affections of their co-star.
Last year one of those real actors, John Wu, won the Best Actor Curvee for his starring role in “The Disconnect.”
This year, the Best Actor Curvee went to Jason Pead, who went head-to-head with Wu in “Between the Lines.”
“They are great talents,” Shepherd said. Pead and Wu star in a movie now out on DVD called “Rogue Saints.” Deanna Sarkar, the object of their affections in “Be-tween the Lines,” also stars in that movie.
“Next year is a sci-fi thriller,” said Shep-herd of Renton, following his back-to-back wins. “I am telling you right now. I don’t even know what it will be. But I probably just proclaimed it will be a sci-fi thriller.”
He called the FilmFrenzy competition a “great experience. I just think it’s wonder-
ful.”“I love that the city puts this on every
year,” Shepherd said. “It’s great for students and for people who just like to make their art.”
Suzanne Dale Estey, the City of Renton’s economic development director, called the evening a “great night, with outstanding films.”
“It was a great fifth year for the Renton FilmFrenzy,” she said.
“What I loved in particular was both the diversity of the filmmakers but of films of themselves,” she said, learning more about different film genres, such as film noir, humor and horror.
Monday night a big loud appreciative crowd gathered to watch all the films in advance of the Curvee Awards Gala at the

She makes Renton’s neighborhoods stronger, he helps preserve Renton’s history – and likes to cook.
Norma and Kevin McQuiller were honored at a banquet Oct. 18 as Renton’s 2012 Citizens of the Year.
She’s an advocate for Renton (maybe its biggest), women and everyone’s health care and he’s an advocate for the homeless and others who need a home.
Bernadene “Bernie” Dochnahl and Bob Bliesner were honored as the 2012 Outstanding Citizens at the salmon dinner at the Renton Senior Center.
All four have much longer resumes of community volun-teerism.
They were chosen for the honors by the event sponsors, the City of Renton, Renton Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary Club of Renton, for helping “nurture the soul and sense of community in Renton through their selfless acts of generosity and volunteerism.”
The McQuillers both work for the City of Renton; she’s the coordinator of the city’s award-winner Neighborhood Program and he’s a water utility technician.
They’ve been involved in Renton Rotary, King County Sexual Assault Resource Center and Habitat for Humanity. Both have been mentors with Communities in Schools of Renton.
Norma McQuiller in 2006 received the President’s Vol-
unteer Service Award from President George W. Bush.In addressing the banquet crowd, the McQuillers said
they are “behind-the-scenes” people.Both see a strong caring community in Renton. “This
room is filled with volunteers,” said Norma McQuiller.In serving others, Norma said, “I get back so much more
than I ever give.”The McQuillers often work as a team in their volunteer
efforts.“We make a great team,” said Kevin McQuiller. He
drew applause when he said, smiling, “Behind every great woman is … .”
He told the crowd he’s had many great role models in his life, including his 98-year-old mother, who attended the banquet.
“This community is awesome,” he said.Bernie Dochnahl was introduced by Rich Roodman,
CEO of Valley Medical Center. They’ve worked closely for years on health-care and hospital issues in Renton and across the state. Dochnahl serves as a trustee on the Har-borview Medical Center Board and on the UW Medicine/Valley Medical Center board.
“She is clearly one of Renton’s biggest advocates,” Rood-man said of Dochnahl.
She said of volunteering: “It’s the right thing to do.”Bob Bliesner retired from the Boeing Co. in 1994.
Statewide, he’s been active in restoring hundreds of miles
of trails. He’s served as vice president and on the board of Habitat for Humanity.
And he was a founder of the Area of Renton Interfaith Shelter Endeavor – ARISE – a shelter for homeless men. “Our goal is to go out of business,” he said.

Please bring a blue, yellow or gold balloon for our simultaneously release.
Dan BraillardOn July 11, 1946, Dan Braillard
was born to Grace Parmalee Braillard and Frank Braillard Jr. He grew up in Kirkland, Washington, with his three brothers: Frank, Larry, and Steve and sister, Joanne. Dan attended Lake Washington High School and was a proud Kang.
Upon graduation, Dan attended Central Washington University. It was there where he first laid eyes on Margaret Irene Bolick. Irene was the love of his life. The two were married in Pullman, Washington, on March 23, 1968. Their amazing love affair lasted forty three years.
Dan was proud of serving his country in the Army and being stationed in Germany, his 43 year career at Boeing, being the “Voice of the Patriots” for Liberty High School for 25 years, and most of all being a dad.
In 1971, Dan and Irene’s first daughter Michelle (Eric Munson) was born. She would be followed by Kimberly (RJ Straight) and Patrick (Melissa Mason). There was nothing the five Braillards couldn’t tackle together and the love Dan created in his family will last a lifetime. That love extended to his twelve nephews and nieces who adored their Uncle Dan and his unconditional love. But, there were no three people on earth who held Dan’s heart like his grandchildren. Oh, how his eyes would light up with joy when he would see Lorelli Avery Straight, Alexander Wayne Munson, or Calvin Daniel Braillard.
A memorial service to honor this amazing son, brother, husband, father, and grandfather who passed away on October 1 will be on November 3, 2012, at New Life Church (15711 152nd Ave SE Renton, WA 98058) at 11. If you have stories about Dan to share with the family, please email them to [email protected]
Remembrances may be made in Dan’s name to the M.S. Society in loving memory of Jerome Caroll Bolick or to the
Northwest Kidney Center.695007

Rink to turn pink for GLOW event
October 26, 2012[6] www.rentonreporter.com
Legalize marijuana but not at a cost to our freedom
In the state of Washington there is a dispro-portionate amount of black men in prison for smoking pot compared to whites. This is a fact – look it up. Do you wonder why? It’s not that more of them are smoking marijuana; it is just ugly old bigotry shaking its mighty head.
So at first glance I-502 which claims to legalize marijuana sounds like a good deal; one less way to send them to prison. But THINK AGAIN! I-502 hands the police a powerful tool to slam black men behind metal doors.
What does “high” look like? A drunk will stagger, slur their words and drive erratically. But high, that could be hesitating at a stop sign, driving with an open bag of munchies or smiling too long. I-502 gives the police a free rein to pull anybody over and search their car or person just for looking high. Of course, if their THC level is below 5 nanograms, they won’t be charged with a DUI. Even so they have been harassed and humiliated. Think it won’t happen? If you read any of Seattle’s news you should know the Seattle Police Department and the Afro-American community do not have a loving relationship.
Marijuana should be legalized but not like this. Not at the cost of our freedom. VOTE No I-502Jan HicklingRenton
For the good of our children, vote no on Referendum 74
Vote no on R-74’s redefinition of marriage. The needs of children must take priority over the needs of adults no matter how legitimate they may be. Thousands of years of accumu-lated knowledge have shown us that children fare better in stable homes with both a father and a mother. Strong families are the bedrock of a strong society. If there is one thing we as a society have a vested interest in protecting it is
our families.R-74 puts yet another hurtle in the way of
parents and others working to prepare the rising generation to accept the responsibility and com-mitment associated with parenthood. R-74 will allow schools and public institutions to push a conflicting and dissonant agenda. There are no provisions in R-74 allowing parents to op-out if they don’t want their children taught the government view.
R-74 offers no protection against fines or prosecution for organizations or service providers not affiliated with churches or religion. Adoption agencies, wedding caterers, photographers and the like will all be affected. Workers in these fields have faced huge fines in states with laws similar to those proposed in R-74. Private schools, home schools, and youth groups will doubtless be required to go along with the state’s definition of marriage.
R-74 offers a very small benefit to some adults, but will have a profoundly negative effect on children. We must give priority to our most vulnerable members.
Please vote no on R-74.Dallin SlaughRenton
For the good of our children, vote yes on Referendum 74
Our son was placed in our arms 33 years ago . . . so tiny he seemed like a little bird. He has added such richness and love to our family. When as an adult he told us he realized that he was gay, our first thought was, “How do we keep him safe?”
He has now grown to 6’4” and 200 pounds, and we don’t worry so much, until someone calls him names and ridicules him for perceived differences. Although those jibes are hurtful and cause him pain and embarrassment, at least we can do something to bring him a measure of equality. We can work to make it legal for our son to be married if and when he chooses.
The Renton Reporter has always supported the planning goal that cities should provide urban-level services and counties should provide the less-intense rural services and regional ones.
That belief hasn’t wavered as we’ve watched the failed attempts to annex and incorporate a city of Fair-wood. And it’s what supports our continuing belief that West Hill should annex to the city of Renton.
West Hill residents need to weigh their two options carefully – annexation or remaining unincorporated as part of King County – as they are voting on this important issue.
The amount of money available for the county is in decline, meaning the types and quality of services it provides can’t help but suffer. That change is appar-ent with the move of the county’s land-use office from Renton to Snoqualmie, in order to be closer to its rural customer base.
That also means that West Hill and Fairwood residents will have to travel farther to meet in person with this important agency. A trip to Renton City Hall takes only minutes and you’ll be assured you get help with all per-mitting needs, especially those that deal with residential housing issues.
There is no doubt in our minds that Renton can provide continuing services to West Hill. Admittedly, King County can’t make that promise.
Face it, there’s a risk to current Renton residents that West Hill could become a drag on city finances, just as it is on the county’s, meaning their services could decline or their taxes could go up. That’s why, if annexation is approved, West Hill residents need to show patience. The City Council and Mayor Denis Law would take the next couple years to figure out how to pay for West Hill.

say no once again to charter schools
The Renton Reporter is also an unwavering sup-porter of the public education system.
It’s the state’s highest priority and it’s our greatest responsibility as a community to ensure
it succeeds.The concept of charter schools – in the guise of
Initiative 1240 – is on the ballot for the fourth time in Washington state. It deserves the same fate as the three initial attempts – defeat.
Now is not the time to siphon off the dollars from the public education system that’s obligated to educate all students in the state, not just a few who could get into a charter school.
And by the wayAs you’re thinking about all those weighty issues on
the Nov. 6 ballot, why not take a break and vote in the Renton FilmFrenzy V People’s Choice contest at Renton-Reporter.com. This voting deadline is Nov. 6, too.

We believe in keeping religion from dictating how laws are made and enforced. We believe the people of Wash-ington state will realize it is wrong to deny our son (or anyone’s child) the right to a legal civil marriage with the one he loves.
We hope voters will read Referendum 74 for themselves so they know what it ACTUALLY says rather than being told what it says. It gives religious or faith organizations the express freedom from performing religious marriage ceremonies for any couple. It specifically states, however, that businesses offering services to the public must comply with current non-discrimination laws.
Please be thoughtful when you vote on Nov. 6. Our children and yours are counting on you to approve Refer-endum 74.Barbara Clark-ElliottRenton
Rob McKenna deals with factsAs an Independent voter, having viewed several of the
governor candidate debates, I see an informed intelligent candidate in Rob McKenna and an empty chair when it comes to his opponent Jay Inslee.
Rob McKenna deals with the facts and the reality of the state’s present fiscal problems. Whereas Jay Inslee bases everything in his plans for “Lean Efficiency,” better known as the lean management.
He continues to try attaching the bi-partisan legislative “land swap” idea to Rob McKenna, even after it has been explained to him by Rob McKenna and others that it is one of the ideas being considered by our legislators to comply
with the Supreme Court’s ruling on education fund-ing, not by Rob McKenna.
If Jay Inslee truly believes in Lean Management as the answer, why didn’t he attempt to utilize in his years in Congress during the doubling of our national debt in the last four years? The Congress which he was a member has accomplished little; this is a Congress which has the lowest approval ratings in U.S. history. He has voted down party lines 92 percent of his votes and 99 percent in the 111th Congress.
I see another Washington, D.C., partisan life-time politi-cian, hoping to get the Democratic voters to vote him into office on that fact only. Not on his ability or experience to actually be the chief executive for the state. I hope they prove to him and others that their vote will be based upon the candidate’s ability and past history, not party affiliation.Harry KodisRenton
Same-sex marriage a civil issueSame-sex marriage is a civil issue. Approving Referen-
dum 74 will expand the protection of civil marriage to all families in Washington state. “Holy matrimony” (the phrase used in a recent letter to the editor) is a religious issue specifically protected by Ref. 74 allowing religious organizations and worshipers complete freedom to follow their consciences and the practices of their denominations.
Trying to connect civil marriage to religious matri-mony clouds the issue. Approving Referendum 74 will give couples the freedom to choose civil marriage without
imposing others’ practices and beliefs on them.Patrick BaderRenton
Ref. 74 a recognition of rightsIn response to the letter from Jennifer Holmes about
protecting the “tradition” of marriage, if we look back, we see that this Tradition resulted in many people leading lives of heartbreak and loneliness, or entering into tortured mar-riages. Furthermore, following Tradition would put us in a world in which women could not choose their partners or own property, and mixed-ethnicity marriages would not be allowed. Tradition can be good but only when continually evaluated in light of our current understandings.
Jennifer Holmes calls marriage “holy matrimony.” However, marriage from the State of Washington is NOT “holy.” Just as we think Muslim governments’ enforcement of religious law on their people is wrong, it is wrong for Christians to force their beliefs on the citizens of our state. We value Freedom and so we must make laws that allow for religious freedom. Christians who struggle with this could look to a young theologian, Matthew Vines, for some guidance on scriptural interpretation.
Ms. Holmes is also worried same-sex marriage will hurt the children, but I know many happy, healthy children of same-sex couples. Psychological research, by non-religious groups, shows this argument is not valid.
The letter also says that marriage is designed to produce offspring. However, in our time, marriages are valid even when they do not produce children. We have changed our traditions as new understanding has prevailed.
We don’t make this law “to legitimize actions,” but to rec-ognize the rights of all people to freely choose their spouses and to be married.
“A good firm foundation of a society’s future” is a good family for every person in which they are loved for who they truly are. That is why I will vote Yes for R74.Ellen TennisRenton

The following information was compiled based on City of Renton police reports.
By ADAM McFADDEN
A Renton boy was arrested for trying to steal pop and assaulting a Jimmy John’s employee Oct. 1.
The 13-year-old went into the Jimmy John’s at The Landing and asked for a water cup. He then proceeded to fill up the cup with pop. He left when confronted by an employee. He returned shortly and asked for a water cup again. The employee re-fused, but the boy then made a scene.
To avoid upsetting customers, the em-ployee gave him a water cup and told the other employees to ignore the boy when he filled the cup with pop a second time.
The boy continued to hang out and drink his pop for a while, then started to panhan-dle aggressively from patrons. At this point, the employee told him to leave. When he started to refuse, the employee tried to take a photo of him. The boy pushed her, spit in her face and ran away.
Then he walked back in and threatened to cut anyone who tried to take his photo. The employee then called 911.
When police caught up to the boy, they found he has a warrant out for assault in Seattle. They arrested the boy for theft and assault.
He told police that he is supposed to take
medication but hasn’t in about two months. The officer asked him what happens when he doesn’t take his medication, and the boy responded “this.”
Group assaults man in the Highlands
A Renton man got beat up at a party Oct. 7.
The 18-year-old was at a house party in the Renton Highlands when a female he didn’t know invited him to go outside with her. He followed and once he left the house, he was jumped by about eight people. They knocked him to the ground, then punched and kicked him. He suffered several abra-sions, lacerations and bruises to his face and head.
After the assault he also noticed his iP-hone was missing. Police have no leads on the suspects since the man didn’t get a good look at them.
Police respond to mention of gun in Safeway
Police responded to an argument at the downtown Safeway when a gun was men-tioned Sept. 29.
Police arrived to find a 42-year-old man grabbing a fanny pack out of the trunk of his car and appear as if he was going to
walk back toward the entrance of the store. When he saw officers, the man threw his fanny pack back into the trunk. Officers asked him what was inside, and he said a gun. But, he has a concealed weapons license.
The man told police about the argument. He was arguing inside the store with his cousin, and when the two made comments about each other’s parents, things started to escalate. He said the other man was goading him into shooting him, but the 42-year-old maintained he never threat-ened to shoot.
Since the two men were both on their way to a youth football game at Renton Stadium, police took custody of the gun in case they came into contact later.
Boy wants cereal, spits in officer’s face
A Renton boy was arrested for punching holes in the wall and assaulting a police officer Oct. 1.
Police responded to a mother’s call that
her 16-year-old son was upset and punch-ing holes in the walls and doors at his home. She wanted to leave for work, but was afraid to leave her son with the other children.
The officer went to the boy’s room and found him listening to music. He ignored the officer, so the officer shut off the music. Then the boy said “I’m going to get a bowl of cereal,” and tried to push by the officer. When the officer stopped him, the boy spit in the officer’s face.
Police arrested the boy for assault and malicious mischief. He is on probation for assault.
Man blames neighbors after truck vandalized
A Renton man’s truck was vandalized several times in September.
The 34-year-old man said his truck was repeatedly keyed and damaged over the course of three weeks. He said his neigh-bors were likely to blame because they disapproved of his business as a scrapper, which led to large piles of recyclables in his front yard. He also said one of his neigh-bors in particular has made it his goal to make the man’s life difficult.
He wanted the incidents documents in case the feud escalates.

By STEVE HUNTER
Federal agents and South King County police agencies arrested 33 people as well as seized 28 guns and nearly $1 million worth of drugs during a three-month crackdown in Kent, Renton, Tukwila, Federal Way and other cities.
The U.S. Department of Justice held a press conference Tuesday at City Hall in Kent to announce the crackdown on gun and drug crimes called “Operation Down in the Valley.”
Officials displayed more than two dozen guns seized by agents and officers in a focus on a 20-square mile where police agencies know gun and drug deals are happening.
“This was an effort that was focused on a hot spot in South Seattle and South King County,” said U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan at the press conference. “We have learned that often criminals take advan-tage of the fact that jurisdictions dealing with only themselves cannot deal with the criminal activity traveling up and down the I-5 corridor. Our office partnered with local (police) to make sure we are attacking criminals as a group.”
Charging documents against the people arrested for dealing drugs list restaurant and shopping center parking lots in Kent, Federal Way, Tukwila and Burien as spots where drug deals were committed.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms & Explosives (ATF) and ICE’s Homeland Security Investigation led the investigation and took nearly 14 pounds of methamphetamine off the street as well as cocaine, heroin and prescription narcotics.
The three-month initiative is the second Hot Spot initiative in the Seattle area. Agents ran a similar focus on White Center in 2011.
“This initiative shows we will continue to focus on violent crime and gun crime throughout Western Washington,” Durkan said.
The police department and agencies involved included the Valley Gang Unit (including officers from Kent, Renton, the Port of Seattle, Tukwila, King County Metro and the state Department of Cor-rections) the Seattle Police Department, the FBI and the Washington State Liquor Control Board.
The cases are being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the King County Prosecutors Office.
“We heard people were reluctant to sell guns because there is so much heat on guns from law enforcement,” Durkan said. “We want that message out today. They are right. We will continue to focus on violent guns and crime and get them off the street. We are here and in every jurisdiction to make sure the communities are returned to the people who live there.”
Durkan said it was not a focus on gangs but a geographical area where police know drugs and guns are sold from individual to individual.
“It was small amounts of drugs to a large
delivery of meth,” Durkan said.King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg
praised the work of the agents and police.“This is a poison in our community - 28
guns used exclusively in criminal enterpris-es and nearly a million dollars of drugs,” Satterberg said at the press conference. “Had this remained in our community we can only begin to imagine how much mis-ery this would cause. These guns are used by criminals in crimes to kill, assault and rob to further gang and gun violence. The drugs are out there to be sold from dealers to addicts and to people who dealers hope become addicts.”
Durkan said guns and illegal drugs need to be taken off the streets and away from criminals.
“Drug trafficking, and the violent crime it spawns, is not limited to our urban areas,” Durkan said. “We must make our neigh-borhoods places for people to thrive. ‘Hot spot’ initiatives such as this seek to identify and root out the bad actors who are making our communities unsafe.”

Renton part of major gun, drug crackdown
Kelvin Crenshaw, an ATF special agent, left, and King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg on Tuesday at Kent City Hall look over illegal guns seized in South King County during recent arrests. STeve HunTer, Kent Reporter
A 43-year-old Renton woman who used “skimming” devices and pin hole cameras installed on ATM machines to steal from 237 bank accounts has been sentenced to four years in prison, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Ana M. Crisan also was ordered to pay $125,241 in restitution, announced U.S. Attorney Michael C. Ormsby of the Eastern District of Washington.
Crisan was arrested in April 2012, fol-lowing a year when she skimmed ATM card information, and stole money from customer accounts at banks throughout the West, according to the federal press release.
U.S. District Judge Lonny Suko imposed the sentence noting that identity theft can remain traumatic for victims into the future.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Washington prosecuted the case because U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan was a victim of the Crisan skimming activity.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office and U.S. Secret Service have some tips for consumers to try to avoid being victimized by skimmers:
• If the access door to a lobby ATM is broken, don’t use the ATM, go somewhere else.
• If there is more than one ATM, and a sign has been placed on one of the units saying it is out of service, go somewhere else – the sign could be an attempt to direct traffic to the machine where skimming equipment is installed.
• Check the machine before putting your card in – is the card slot securely in the ma-chine? Has anything been installed around the edges of the machine that could conceal a camera? Is any glue or sticky substance around the key pad or card slot?
• Always attempt to cover your hand when you enter your PIN so that if there is a camera, the numbers cannot be captured.
• Watch your account activity and report any unauthorized credit or debit charges immediately.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Secret Service Electronic Crimes Task Force. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Joseph Harrington.

YES on 1240 Will Give More Washington
Students A Chance To SucceedInitiative 1240 will allow up to 40 public charter schools in Washington state over the next five years. Charter schools are public schools that are free and open to all students, with the same teacher certification requirements and academic standards as traditional public schools, and funded based on
student enrollment just like other public schools. However, charter schools allow teachers and principals more flexibility to meet the needs of students, which is especially important for students who are not succeeding in traditional schools. Please join us in voting YES on 1240.

“Public charter schools across the country have a proven track record of helping students succeed, especially those at risk of falling through the cracks. Initiative 1240 brings the best of what works in other states to Washington.“
Dr. Sam SmithFormer PresidentWashington State University
“As a public school teacher, I’m a strong believer in public education. That’s why I support a YES vote on 1240, to allow public charter schools in Washington. Charter schools give teachers and principals more flexibility to meet the needs of our students… and more options to help them succeed.”
Chris EidePublic School Teacher andCo-Founder, Teachers United
“I’ve studied public charter schools across the country, and I support a YES vote on 1240. Initiative 1240 is a well-written law that requires strict accountability and annual performance reviews. And 1240 ensures that public funding stays with public schools– following students just as it does now.”
Professor Paul T. Hill, Ph.D.University of WashingtonFounder, Center on ReinventingPublic Education
“As a proud graduate of Tacoma Public Schools, an advocate for public education and an elected official who cares deeply about our city and state’s future, I urge you to join me and cast your vote for Initiative 1240.”

All the winners of Curvees at the Renton FilmFrenzy V awards gala gathered onstage for the traditional group photo at the IKEA Performing Arts Center. BELOW: The Curvee awards. AdAm mCFAddEn, Renton Reporter
Renton IKEA Performing Arts Center.About 200 people, including many
of the filmmakers and their friends and families, watched the films, about double the number at the first-ever screening of all films last year.
In the past only winning films were shown at the Curvee gala, so the pub-lic didn’t see some of the films.
“The energy was positive, the films
were diverse, and it was all-in-all a fabulous prelude to tonight’s Curvee Awards Gala,” said Dale Estey.
Master of ceremonies Kelley Bal-comb-Bartok pointed out that in the future, producers should let FilmFren-zy organizers know in advance when they plan to have fake guns drawn and fights as part of the storyline.
Renton Police responded to just such a call during the filming in early
October of the student film, “The Drive,” on Logan Avenue. Balcomb-Bartok arrived just moments later to explain the situation to officers.
But the FilmFrenzy still isn’t over.Voting for the Renton Reporter
People’s Choice Award is under way online at rentonreporter.com. Voting ends on Nov. 6; the winner will be announced in the Renton Reporter on Nov. 9.

Hazen fell to Kennedy 3-0 Tuesday night, setting up a three-way tie for the Seamount lead with no tiebreakers in place.
The Highlanders (10-4-1 overall, 5-1 Seamount) played Tyee Thursday night in the regular season finale. Kennedy (11-4-1, 5-1) played Renton Thursday night. Lindbergh (11-4, 5-1) played Highline Thursday night.
If all three won, the Seamount will have three co-champions.
"I imagine if that happens things will change next year," said Lindbergh coach
James Valles. "But I'm not going to complain, the rules are the rules."
Of the Thursday games, Lindbergh faced the tough-
By ADAM McFADDEN
It’s impossible to miss her. For much of this season, Lindbergh senior Elise Aylward has simply been a cut above the competition.
After missing last season due to injury, Aylward is back with a vengeance. She leads the Seamount with 26 goals, eight more than Renton’s Asia Brisco in second.
“She’s our superstar striker,” said Lindbergh coach James Valles. “She just does not stop. From the first minute to the 80th minute, it’s the same player.”
Aylward’s return is a big reason the Eagles (11-4 overall, 5-1 Seamount) are in position for a share of the Seamount title for a second straight season, despite losing the Seamount’s Player of the Year (Whitney Hilde) and two other first-team. all-league players from last season (Jordyn McLuen and Kimi Girmus).
Valles said Aylward is a combination of Hilde and McLuen in her playing style. Her “off the charts” fitness is what separates her from other talented players around the league. He added that Aylward also helps the team’s dynamic outside of games.
“She clearly stands out in games,” he said. “But she also ups our compete level at practice. She’s always on task.”
After earning all-league mentions her freshman and sophomore seasons, it was tough for Aylward to sit out last year, especially while watching players
she had competed with or against for several years.“I was really bummed out to miss it,” she said. “I
heard about it every day and I missed them a lot.”She’s made up for lost time this year. Aylward’s 26
goals include multiple goals in nine of Lindbergh’s

“I guess it’s a big deal,” Aylward said. “I haven’t had this many goals for a while. It’s been nice.”
Valles said he knew this team would score goals, but he was tentative about the young defense.
“We’re young and we’ve shown it sometimes,” he said.
Lindbergh’s only loss in counting league play came against Hazen, 4-0 Oct. 18. The Eagles’ biggest counting league win was a 1-0 win against Ken-nedy Oct. 11.
Lindsey Pfluger has 12 goals and six assists. Justine Yar-ington has nine goals. Alicia Wasico has five goals and
10 assists. Megan O’Hanlon has one goal and 11 assists. Audrey Cunningham has four shutouts.
Lindbergh finished one game short of state last year. This year Valles put them through the ringer in the non-league schedule to try and prepare them for the playoffs. The Eagles faced several teams they could see in the post-season, including Klahowya, Enumclaw, Olympic, Franklin Pierce, and Port Angeles.
Going into Thursday night’s regular-season finale, Lind-bergh was tied with Hazen and Kennedy for the league lead. If all three teams won Thursday night, they will be co-champions.
As the Seamount’s top 2A seed, Lindbergh will play its first playoff game Nov. 3 at Highline at 10 a.m.

In a clash that came down to the very end, it was two Americans, Ashley Wagner and Christina Gao, who stole the show Sunday at Skate America at the ShoWare Center in Kent.
Wagner earned her first Grand Prix Series gold medal and Gao took the silver as she earned her first Grand Prix medal of any color in the ladies event.
Leading after the short program, Wagner watched her teammate earn a score that was more than eight points higher than her personal best to take the lead just two skaters previ-ous. The pressure was on, but Wagner delivered.
A 127.76-point effort in the free skate vaulted Wagner into the top spot by more than 14 points and to the gold medal with a final total of 188.37 points.
“Today went exactly as planned,” Wagner said. “I really fought for some of those jumps, but I was pleased with what I put out. For my first Grand Prix of the season, I was really happy with what I did.”
Gao, whose best finish in her two previous Grand Prix events was fifth, earned the silver medal after she was third in the short program. A full-time student at Harvard Univer-sity, Gao, finished second with a personal best 174.25 points overall.
“Today was obviously pretty awesome,” Gao said. “I felt really good about it. It’s what I’ve been doing in practice every day. I told myself before I started to make it like practice. I did, and I got a medal, so I’m really happy. ”
In second after the short program, 2011 World Junior champion Adelina Sotnikova of Russia earned 168.96 points overall to claim her third bronze medal at a Grand Prix event.
Ice DancingWith an emotional free dance to music from Notre-Dame
de Paris, Meryl Davis & Charlie White earned their third straight title at this event with a total score of 176.28 points. Davis and White, while satisfied with the win in Kent, know there are improvements to be made.
“Charlie and I felt like our performances went quite well today. We had a couple little technical glitches here and there. We’re definitely looking to get our technical scores much higher,” Davis said.
They also noted the support they have received on their return trip to the Pacific Northwest, saying, “It was a great audience. We would like to thank everybody here in the Kent area for organizing everything and being so supportive.”
Russia’s Ekaterina Bobrova and Dmitri Soloviev moved up from third after the short dance to nab the silver medal, elevating their career Grand Prix medal count to five. They totaled 97.04 points for the free dance, en route to 159.95 overall.
Fourth place finishers at the 2012 World Championships, Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje of Canada earned the bronze medal, their sixth career medal on the Grand Prix Series, with a total of 157.32 points.
Americans Lynn Kriengkrairut and Logan Giulietti-Schmitt enjoyed the best Grand Prix finish of their career, placing fourth with 141.41 points, while teammates Anastasia Cannuscio and Colin McManus finished seventh in their Grand Prix debut.
Men’sJapan swept the top three spots in the men’s competition
on Saturday at Skate America at the ShoWare Center in Kent.The entire competition will wrap up on Sunday with the
ladies free skate and the free dance.Takahiko Kozuka won the men’s event with teammates
Yuzuru Hanyu and Tatsuki Machida finishing second and third, respectively.
Kozuka won the free skate segment with 166.12 points and finished the event nearly eight points ahead of his competi-tors with a combined score of 251.44 points.
Hanyu placed third in the free skate, but held onto the silver medal after a 10-point lead following yesterday’s short program. He finished the event with 229.95 points.
Machida settled for bronze.
PairsTogether for just their second season and their third Grand
Prix Series event, reigning U.S. champions Caydee Denney and John Coughlin earned their first medal together, bronze at Skate America.
After posting the top score in the short program, reign-ing World silver medalists Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov, of Russia, earned the gold medal after earning the top free skate as well. They finished with 195.07 points over-all. Reigning Olympic silver medalists Qing Pang and Jian Tong earned the silver medal with 185.16 points.

Some kids at Valley Medical Center’s Children’s Therapy got a treat last Friday morning, when they were visited by two U.S. figure skaters.
Tanith Belbin and Tonia Kwiatkowski shared their skating experiences, discussed hobbies and even played basketball with the young patients.
Belbin makes up one half of the successful U.S. ice-dancing team of Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto. The two won five U.S. champion-ships, four World medals and the 2006 Olympic silver medal. Belbin retired in 2010.
Kwiatkoski is a figure-skating coach, after having a success-ful skating career on the U.S. National and international teams. She competed from 1986 to 1998, winning many accolades,
including second place at the 2005 World Championships.
The two were in town for the Skate America event last weekend
at ShoWare Center in Kent. The event was the first in six competi-tions of the International Skating Union Grand Prix of Figure Skat-
ing series, conducted in the U.S., Canada, France, Japan, China and Russia.
Belbin and Kwiatkoski provided commentary and interviews for icenetwork.com.
“I think it’s always been impor-tant to give back to the commu-nity because we’ve experienced so many great things through skating,” said Kwiatkoski.
She remarked on how touched she was by the Children’s Therapy mission to help children, saying she has a daughter who is healthy, but their work is great.
Some of the therapy patients didn’t know quite what to do when presented with the star skat-ers. Some weren’t even born when the two competed. But they ap-peared fascinated by what the two had to relate about figure skating.
The center sees children for occupational, speech and physical
therapy. Last year more than 1,300 children came in for services to Valley’s Children’s Therapy. There are about 30 therapists there, as well as a dietician and nurses.
Belbin and Kwiatkoski greeted patients in the Rain Forest Room, one of several themed rooms at the center.
Ninety percent of the children are outpatient clients and the rest come primarily from the intensive care unit and are treated at the hospital.
Belbin discussed race cars, ice skating, school and therapy with 5-year-old Kamryn.
Belbin hasn’t been to this part of the state before, although her skate partner is from Olympia.
“I’m getting familiar with the area and they’re (the community) always fantastic hosts and really, really enthusiastic, knowledgeable skating fans,” she said.

The U.S. Army Corps of En-gineers earlier this week began removing 220 trees that pose a risk to a concrete flood wall along the Cedar River that protects the Renton Municipal Airport and Boeing’s 737 production plant.
The work also will include removing all woody vegetation within 15 feet of the I-wall. The work will be visible from the Logan Avenue bridge over the Cedar River.
To help offset the loss of the trees and vegetation, the corps will plant willows at 12-inch spacing along 200 feet at the project site, as well on 1,620 feet of the river’s bank across from the project.
The work is near Renton Me-morial Stadium.
The corps will plant trees at Renton’s Ron Regis Park along the river and some along the Elliott spawning channel as another mitigation site. That proposed off-site plan includes planting 408 trees, or three trees for each of the 136 trees being removed that are at least six inches in diameter.
Outside the 15-foot, vegetation-free zone, approximately 40 trees will remain to provide riparian habitat to aquatic life in the Cedar, according to the corps.
The $65,000 project, paid for with federal funds, will bring the flood wall into compliance with corps rules that require a 15-foot, vegetation-free zone. A corps analysis found that tree roots could damage the “structural
integrity” of the wall.The corps expects to finish the
work by the end of October.The corps has coordinated the
work with the City of Renton, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Marine Fisheries Service, the Washington State Department of Ecology, Washington Depart-ment of Fish and Wildlife and the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe.
The Cedar River flood wall, or I-wall, is designed to protect against a 100-year flood event level, or a flood with a 1-in-100 chance of occurring in any given year. Prior to its completion in 2000, damages started occurring on the left bank in a four-year flood event, or a 1-in-4 chance of occurrence; and at eight-year level on the right bank, or a 1-in-8 chance of occurrence.

Community groups, nonprofit organi-zations and businesses would find easier access to low-interest financing for projects that conserve energy, water, and promote environmental sustainability, under leg-islation proposed today by King County Executive Dow Constantine for the first Green Communities Initiative in the state.
“The Green Community Initiative is about getting helpful financing tools into the hands of groups and businesses in King County that want to make serious strides in energy efficiency, investing in renewable energy or reducing greenhouse gas emis-sions,” said Executive Constantine.
Under the proposal sent to the King County Council, the County would pro-mote and help groups and businesses access below-market-rate interest financing tools offered by the Washington State Housing Finance Commission for energy conserva-
tion and other environmentally-beneficial projects in the region.
“Our partnership with King County for Washington’s first Green Community Initiative enables us to lower the cost of valuable investments in energy efficiency, resource conservation and renewable energy across all sectors of the economy without risking the taxpayers’ money,” said Kim Herman, Executive Director of the Housing Finance Commission. “We look forward to shared success with King County as we help local organizations save money and lower their resource footprint while planning for future growth.”
Project examples could include things like a commercial office building bun-dling a number of conservation projects that realize dramatic energy savings, or a community group interested in borrowing money to construct a community-wide
solar energy project.If adopted, the measure would enable
King County to assist the Housing Finance Commission in soliciting and evaluating projects in King County that will qualify for the Commission’s loan programs, includ-ing Federal Qualified Energy Conservation Bonds. Other than providing some staff time to promote the financing programs and evaluate projects, there is no cost to the County.
The initiative is supported by the Seattle 2030 District, a public-private collabora-tive in downtown Seattle whose members have pledged to make dramatic reductions in their building energy use, water use, and transportation emissions through the year 2030.
“King County’s Green Community Ini-tiative will create additional financing tools
for 2030 District building owners as they work to create a more sustainable down-town,” said Brian Geller, Executive Director of the 2030 District.
The initiative would also enable county residents and businesses to access lower-cost financing for sustainable projects that conserve energy, water, and promote environmental sustainability. These could include energy and water efficiency projects that reduce use by 10 percent or more within a facility, community scale renew-able energy projects, and greenhouse gas emission reduction efforts.
By promoting these and other projects to enhance environmental sustainability and protection, the proposed initiative furthers the economic growth, built environment, and environmental sustainability goals of the King County Strategic Plan.
King County proposes Green Communities Initiative

By The Mercer Island reporTer
As just days remain until the Nov. 6 general election, Mercer Islander and state Sen. Steve Litzow, a Republican, and his opponent, fellow Islander, Democrat Maureen Judge, will continue to campaign and raise funds until the very end.
Despite dozens of endorsements, hundreds of supporters and thousands of dollars on each side, neither candidate is taking anything for granted.
The two met in the August primary, when Litzow took 56 percent of the vote to Judge’s 44. Just 31,000 voted. Statewide, just under 40 percent cast their ballots in the primary.
Judge says that Litzow, in his first term, did not do enough to support education, and he appears to put his party affiliation above the needs of constituents.
Judge told the Reporter then that she became interested in running for the Legislature after a turn shepherding a bill through Olympia to safeguard infants from toxic substances.
Maureen JudgeJudge is the former executive director of the Washington
Toxics Coalition. WTC works to keep toxic chemicals out of homes, schools and workplaces.
Her most important accomplishment during her time there was the passage of a law to ensure that baby bottles, children’s food and beverage containers, and sports bottles are now free of the hormone-disrupting chemical bisphe-nol A (BPA). She spent a good deal of time and effort, she said, personally working in Olympia and with members of the Legislature to ban these products.
Her experience there led her to want to do more in Olympia and to do so in a nonpartisan way.
She told the Reporter then that she herself represents so many in the 41st Legislative District and across the coun-
try. She is a woman and a single parent making her way in tough economic times.
“I am the 41st District,” she said.As she has worked her way through the campaign into
the summer and the fall, she has found that voters are concerned about funding for education, the preservation of reproductive health services for women and jobs.
Judge is particularly proud of her endorsements from firefighters across the Eastside, including the Mercer Island firefighters.
“I understand issues around health for safety person-nel,” she said, referring to her time on the toxics coalition. “Firefighters in particular face exposure to toxicity from fighting fires.”
She has been sad to see teachers vilified in discussions about education funding. “It is easy to point at one group, such as teachers, to take the blame for an issue. We need to change the conversation.”
“Firefighters, nurses and teachers, need our support,” she said. “We need to protect the people who protect us.”
Professionally, Judge is an independent marketing con-sultant. In the past, she was a manager for Real Networks in Seattle and later moved over to Expedia.com in Bellevue. She is a graduate of Boston University with a degree in political science and English. She grew up in the Seattle area. Judge is a member of the Mercer Island Chamber of Commerce and has been on the board for the Youth and Family Services Foundation. She moved to the Island in 2006 and lives on the North
end with her daughter, who attends Mercer Island High School.
In addition to her volunteer work as board president of the Mercer Island Youth and Family Services Foundation, Judge was a member of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Starlight Children’s Foundation, a nonprofit serving seriously ill children and their families. She has also served on the King County Conservation Vot-ers Board and four years on NARAL Pro-Choice Washing-ton’s PAC board.
Judge’s reports to the Washington State Public Disclosure Commission show that she had about $75,000 in the bank on Sept. 1.
As for her opponent, Judge says that he promised bipar-tisanship but did not deliver. “Litzow made the last vote at the end of the regular [Legislative] session against the [bipartisan] budget that sent the state into special sessions that cost taxpayers $450,000. That is money that could have gone to schools,” she said.
steve litzowIncumbent state Sen. Steve Litzow, Judge’s opponent,
reports that he has lost seven pounds this campaign sea-son. He has kept track of how many doorbells he has rung. As of Friday, Oct. 5, he reported that he has been to 7,845 homes. In his last campaign, he lost 13 pounds.
Litzow, a Republican, is a management consultant and a former two-term Mercer Island City Councilmember.
He won the state Senate seat in 2010, defeating Randy Gordon, an attorney from Bellevue who had been appoint-ed to fulfill the term left open by Islander Fred Jarrett, who left shortly after being elected to join the staff of the King County Council.
Litzow and his wife, Jenny, have lived on Mercer Island for more than 15 years. They have four children.
Litzow’s work in the Senate to date has earned him the Warren G. Magnuson Award for Bipartisan Leadership from the Municipal League of King County as well as the National Federation of Independent Business ‘Guardian of Small Business Award’ for supporting a more business-
friendly environment in the state Legislature. He has endorsements from education and children’s advocates.
The senator worked as a marketing executive with Procter & Gamble. He is currently a partner with EMM Group, a global marketing management company, and served in senior management roles with a number of local companies.
Litzow is a member of the board of the Bellevue College Foundation, Summer
Search, a nonprofit mentoring program for at-risk youth, Thrive by Five, Puget Sound Ecosystem Coordinating Board and The Nature Conservancy.
According to state PDC reports, Litzow had $350,000 in the bank as of Sept. 1.
He says that as he has talked to voters across the district this spring and summer, he hears three things. First, con-cerns about the economy and when and how it will turn around; issues regarding education standards and funding adequacy; and, finally, health care.
He added that he is somewhat surprised he had not heard much during this campaign about transportation and environmental concerns.
Litzow said he has been busy focused on early education and K-12 initiatives and education financing. He is also on the Financial Institutions Housing & Insurance Committee and the Transportation Committee.
He was the sole sponsor of seven bills in the most recent Legislative session and was a secondary sponsor of 150 more bills, both significant and symbolic.
Regarding health care and the issues being discussed in the presidential campaigns, Litzow says that he sees some of the concern over how Obamacare, or any alternative to it, would work.
“I think we have got to figure out how it [Obamacare] will work, not just now, but in 10 years. The mechanics are important. The delivery and access have to be worked out. How do we make it workable and fair?
“The good news is that more people will be covered. A piece of bad news is that we don’t have enough doctors to treat them all,” he said.
