Boeing launches 737 MAX with its new engineBY DEAN A. RADFORD
Th ere’s a new family in Renton, the 737 MAX.
Th at’s the name of the new highly fuel-effi cient engine that Th e Boeing Co. launched Tuesday.
Th e MAX family has three members – 737 MAX 7, 737 MAX 8 and 737 MAX 9, all building on the world’s most-popular airplane, the Next-Generation 737. Boeing
will need to do some redesigning of its venerable 737 to make the new engine fi t under the wing.
Boeing already has orders for 496 air-planes from fi ve airlines for the new 737.
“We call it the 737 MAX because it optimizes everything we and our custom-ers have learned about designing, building,
maintaining and operating the world’s best single-aisle airplane,” said Nicole Piasecki, vice president of Business Development and Strategic Integration of the Renton-based Boeing Commercial Airplanes, in a news release.
Th e still unanswered question is where the new version of the 737 will be built. Th e Renton plant is an obvious choice, but Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO James

The district is estimating an enrollment of about 14,500 students; the offi cial count is Oct. 1. CHARLES CORTES, Renton Reporter

Renton has one of the highest number of restaurants per person among area cities. Losing some restaurants is perhaps a natural part of that competitive market. Armondo’s closed in June and Stix-N-Stones shuttered its doors for good Aug. 14.
But, in the post-recession environment some restaurants in the city are still fairing better than one might think.
Angelo’s Pizza and Pasta House in the Highlands is testament to the longevity of Renton restaurants. With 25 years under its belt and counting, the establishment has made the best of hard times.
Angelo’s built its success around fostering a relationship with its customers. Other restau-rants haven’t been as successful at getting a foothold in the com-munity and at developing a loyal following.
Armondo’s Cafe Italiano, for 25 years a mainstay of the down-town restaurant scene, was the exception, too. Owner Armondo Pavone says the restaurant had “run its course,” but left open the possibility another restaurant could open in the space.

Registration for the fi lmmaking competition is now open. Th e deadline to register is 5 p.m. Oct. 1.
“Th anks to our partner-ships with SIFF, Reel Grrls, theFilmSchool, area fi lm-making programs and the Renton Arts Commission, the Renton FilmFrenzy continues to expand and has become an integral part of the growing and strong Renton arts community,” said Renton Mayor Denis Law.
For the fi rst time, all fi lms will show during the Renton FilmFrenzy Screen-ing at 7 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 24, at the Renton Civic Th eatre on South Th ird Street.
Th e following evening, Oct. 25, it’s the fourth an-nual Curvee Awards Gala at the Renton IKEA Perform-ing Arts Center where the cash awards and Curvee Awards are presented. Th e top fi lms will be screened.
Also during the gala, theFilmSchool will present the Frenzy Screenwriting Award. Reel Grlls will pres-ent the Woman Filmmaker Award.
Th en on Wednesday, Oct. 26, FilmFrenzy activities wrap-up with a chance to meet with the fi lmmak-ers during the Downtown Renton FilmTalk.
Th e Renton Reporter again will host the online voting for the People’s Choice Award at renton-reporter.com. All fi lms entered will be posted on the Renton Reporter web-site for viewing and voting aft er the Curvee Awards Gala. Th e winning fi lm will receive a special “People’s Choice” Curvee award at
a November Renton City Council meeting.
Th e competition begins at 5 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 7, when the fi lmmakers re-ceive their “CurveBall Chal-lenges – a line of dialogue, a task or a shot at a specifi c location in Renton. Th en, they have through 7 p.m.

“In the past, the Open Division winner has always won the Best Picture award,” said Suzanne Dale Estey, Renton’s economic development director. “For 2011, we’ve changed our awards so the Best Picture award winner will not receive an Open or Student Division cash prize. Th is allows us to recognize an additional fi lmmaking team.”
FilmFrenzy will submit the top award-winning shorts to other area fi lm fes-tivals as an additional prize.

A Renton Police offi cer takes cover Monday afternoon while other offi cers attempt to take a distraught man into custody in a parking garage at Valley Medical Center. DEAN A. RADFORD, Renton Reporter
Distraught man surrendersat Valley Med parking garageBY DEAN A. RADFORD
A distraught man sur-rendered to Renton Police offi cers Monday aft ernoon on the sixth fl oor of Valley Medical Center’s north parking garage.
About a dozen Renton police units arrived at the medical center at about 2 p.m. following an initial report there was a suicidal man armed with a handgun on the garage’s top fl oor.
Offi cers took diff erent stairwells to the top fl oor. Medical center security staff were called in to stop the structure’s elevators.
Th e man, described as possibly in his 20s, surren-dered to a group of offi cers as they arrived on the roof at about 2:25 p.m.
“He gave up,” said Com-mander David Leibman with the Renton Police Department. Offi cers deter-mined he wasn’t armed.
Th e all-clear sign was given at 2:32 p.m. A few minutes later, barriers to the entrance of the parking garage were removed.
For a time the garage was closed to pedestrian traffi c and vehicles were diverted to other driveways within the medical center’s complex.

RETURN TO RENTON CAR SHOW RAISES $14,000
Organizers of the 21st annual Return to Renton Benefit
Car Show recently presented $14,000 to the Renton Police
Department’s Youth Education Fund.
In those 21 years more than $160,000 has been raised for the
youth programs, according to Jim Medzegian, a show organizer.
There were more than 400 classic cars on display and at least 3,000
spectators in addition to the car owners at the show in July in
downtown Renton.

D. Wright has been coming to the Renton Salvation Army thrift store for seven years. She goes there before she goes to the mall to buy clothes for her daughter, herself and for families she sees as a case management worker. Wright comes twice a day to the store, sometimes four times a week, which is why she was dismayed Tuesday afternoon to hear that the Renton store is closing soon.
“The staff here is just wonder-ful, really, really nice like family almost,” she said. “So it’s going to really be sad to see this place go and I wish there was something the community could do to save this place.”
The Salvation Army thrift store in Renton is closing along with three other stores near Seattle.
However, the Salvation Army plans to re-brand and re-open another store in Renton in the near future. The organization is look-ing for bigger locations – space between 18,000 and 25,000 square feet – for new stores.
The Renton thrift store, 422 S. Third St., had seen a pretty dramatic drop in sales, said David Puszczewicz, retail director for the Salvation Army.
“It’s not that they’re not doing well; it’s just that we know we can do better,” he said.
The Salvation Army cited the decline in the local economy, the changing retail landscape and a drop in business at the stores as reasons for the closures.
The Renton store has been in the community for 30 years. The Salvation Army is working with a real estate broker to sell the nearly 13,000 square feet of space in two buildings. The sale price is $1.35 million.
The organization needs a space to accept donations and offer a better shopping experience on par with customer service similar to Nor-
dstrom or Macy’s but with thrift-store prices, Puszczewicz said.
Seven people are affected by the closure in Renton on Sept. 10. Stores in Burien and Puyallup will also close that day. The Sumner store closed on Saturday, Aug. 27.
The closures will affect 22 em-ployees in all. They can apply for other positions in the Seattle metro area, for national opportunities or will be helped with final salary and benefits, according to a press release.
One man at the Renton store is transitioning into another area
of the Salvation Army, while the manager of the Renton store, Lina Pacheco, will apply to the Seattle location.
Pacheco has been at the Renton store for two years and thought she would retire from the location. She managed the Seattle store for 10 years before that.
“Well, you know it’s bittersweet,” she said. “I know that it’s sad because I’m going to miss all the customers who come here and I hope that good comes out of this.”
The store has been busier since they have been offering 50 percent off and people know they are clos-ing, she said.
It will be hard for her to leave because Pacheco said she knows all the people who live in the commu-nity who shop at the Renton store. Customers have lots of questions for her and tell her how hard it is for them to drive to Seattle.
“A lot of people really depend on this store; a lot of people don’t have a lot of money,” Pacheco said. “They’re mostly older people, retired, so they’re not going to have a lot of money to go to a regular store.”
The thrift stores provide the op-erating funds for the organization’s Adult Drug and Alcohol Rehabilita-tion Program. Last year the pro-gram had 1,200 men and women who participated. Puszczewicz said the program has a success rate among the highest in the country.

The second annual Renton International Festival and Night Market wrapped up last weekend in the Highlands with more at-tendees than last year but still not as many as organizers expected.
“The weather was beautiful and the people just come and go all day,” said
Michael Nguyen, festival executive director, in an email.
More people attended the event Sunday than Saturday and the kids’ inflatables and the performers from different ethnic groups were popular, he said.
The festival at the Viet-Wah Plaza fea-tured cultural performances, food, retail and arts and crafts vendors, a car show, kid’s fun center, bands and a beer garden.
If the festival takes place next year, which it may not, Nguyen said, he hopes to involve other ethnic community leaders on the organizing committee. This year’s loca-tion was for one year only, so the location will change, too.
“Since the objective of the event is embracing diversity, it’s imperative that we have a good balance of representatives from the major population ethnic groups where we can attract more attendance and support,” he said.
Last year the festival was in the nearby parking lot of the Greater Hilands Shop-ping Center, visible from Sunset Boulevard.
There will be an event debriefing in a couple of weeks, but already the City of Renton is talking about tweaking some
aspects of the developing festival.Suzanne Dale Estey, Renton’s economic
development director, said in an email the city will offer some safety and community impact suggestions to event organizers, but it is a private event that the city is simply supporting.
Neighbors in the area expressed discom-fort throughout the weekend with what one resident described as loud music and litter in the residential area that bordered the festival property behind the Viet-Wah store
Organizers will gather feedback from neighbors, but they haven’t received any direct complaints about excessive noise during the weekend, Nguyen said.
Volunteers picked up trash throughout the weekend and when the festival ended.

Albaugh says the company has options.Renton’s government and business
leaders make the case to build the new 737 in Renton.
“That’s been an incredibly productive plant,” said Bill Taylor, president and CEO of the Renton Chamber of Com-merce. The chamber’s office on Rainier Avenue has overlooked the Renton pro-duction plant for 50 years.
A massive order by American Airlines prompted Boeing to decide whether to develop a replacement for the 737 or move forward with a new engine. That order, which Boeing split with Airbus in a competitive environment, includes up to 160 737s with the new engines.
Where to build a new version of the 737 will come up at the sixth annual Gov-ernor’s Aerospace Summit Sept. 14-15 at the ShoWare Center in Kent. One of the workshops is called “What Can We Do to Secure the Next Generation 737?”
The summit is sponsored by the Aero-space Futures Alliance of Washington. Register at http://afa-wa.com.
And Renton’s connection goes be-yond just the place where all 9,000 737s ordered were built or will be built.
Boeing announced that Michael Teal of Renton is the 737 MAX vice president, chief project engineer and deputy pro-gram manager.
Most recently, Teal was vice presi-dent chief project engineer on the 747-8 program, where he was instrumental in managing the airplane’s configuration and integration, performance, safety, test and certification.
Boeing also named Bob Feldmann vice president and general manager of the new engine 737 family.
With 35 years of aerospace experience, Feldmann most recently led the Surveil-
lance and Engagement division within Boeing Military Aircraft, a unit of Boeing Defense, Space & Security, according to a Boeing press release. He has been instru-mental in leading the development of the EA-18G Growler and the P-8A Poseidon, according to Boeing.
The Boeing Co.’s board of directors Tuesday approved the launch of the new engine variant for the Renton-built 737.
“The re-engined 737 will allow Boeing to continue to deliver the most fuel- ef-ficient, most capable airplane with the lowest operating costs in the single-aisle market,” said Albaugh in the press release.
“This, coupled with industry-leading reliability and maintainability, is what customers have told us they want. As a re-sult, we are seeing overwhelming demand for this new and improved version of the 737. We are working with our customers to finalize these and other agreements in the weeks and months ahead,” he said.
The new 737 family will be powered by CFM International LEAP-1B engines optimized for the 737. It will have the lowest operating costs in the single-aisle segment with a 7 percent advantage over the competition, according to Boeing.
Deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2017.
“Customers tell us they want to improve profitability and fuel efficiency while reducing their environmental foot-print,” said Albaugh. “This solution meets all three of those needs.”
When compared to a fleet of 100 of today’s most fuel-efficient airplanes, this new model will emit 277,000 fewer tons of CO2 and save nearly 175 million pounds of fuel per year, or $85 million in cost savings, according to Boeing.
Boeing forecasts global demand for more than 23,000 airplanes in the 737’s market segment over the next 20 years at a value of nearly $2 trillion.
Deliveries scheduled to begin in 2017[ 737 from page 1]
Delta Airlines and Boe-ing announced last week the airline’s order for 100 Next-Generation 737-900ER (extended range) airplanes, worth $8.5 billion at list prices.
The order is part of Delta’s effort to replace its less-efficient domestic airplanes, according to a Boeing news release.
“The 737-900ER is the perfect airplane to replace the older, less efficient airplanes in our single-aisle fleet,” said Delta President Ed Bastian in the press release. “Reliability and fuel efficiency are di-rect contributors to our financial performance. The 737-900ER will provide us a reliable airplane with the lowest fuel burn in our domestic fleet.”
The Boeing 737-900ER is the newest member in the Renton-built, Next-Gener-ation 737 airplane family. It also is the highest capacity, longest-range airplane in Boeing’s single-aisle fleet. New aerodynamic and structural design changes allow the airplane to carry up to 180 passengers.

Th e school bell rings and kids excitedly scatter, heading toward home, extracur-ricular activities or friends’ houses. But wherever they go, oft entimes an aft er-school snack is part of the deal.
Unfortunately, many popular children’s snacks are packed with sugar, starches or other cavity-causing acids that eat away at their teeth. Even seemingly healthy op-tions can contain high amounts of sugar or starches. One serving of applesauce or raisins contains as much as six teaspoons
of sugar.Parents are surprised
to fi nd out that many natural snacks contain just as much sugar as candy. And if not removed by brushing or other means, sugars in the mouth can contrib-
ute to tooth decay and cavities.According to the American Heart
Association, preschoolers shouldn’t eat more than four teaspoons of added sugar a day and children ages 4-8 should only have three teaspoons a day. A serving of applesauce or a candy bar has about six teaspoons of sugar alone.
Th is is why it’s important your kids learn how to snack smart. Follow these tips to help teach them how to protect their pearly whites:
bananas, cheese, whole wheat crackers, pickles, milk, plain yogurt, or unsalted
nuts.

brushed their teeth at night. Sugar that’s on their teeth overnight feed cavity causing bacteria.
drinks like juice and soda. When they do drink them, provide a straw, which limits the sugary beverage’s contact with teeth.
Eating healthy, mouth-friendly snacks can be just as important to kids’ oral health as brushing and fl ossing. And because many habits acquired during childhood continue into adulthood, teaching kids smart snacking skills can improve their oral and overall health for a lifetime.

Since the beginning of the recession in 2007, about 100 restaurants in the city have closed or changed ownership, while about 200 have opened, according to Suzanne Dale Estey, City of Renton economic develop-ment director.
There are a few variations in the city’s data about these figures because of the way the city’s licensing depart-ment tracks businesses. When a business changes ownership, it is considered closed and then re-opened. Renton has about 250 res-taurants or eating establish-ments.
The city works hard to make sure Renton is a competitive and business-friendly city, Dale Estey said.
The city supports the restaurant community by driving traffic downtown with such events as the Renton Farmers Market or to the Highlands with the recent Renton Interna-tional Festival and Night Market. Renton officials also intentionally recruit restaurants to the city; they pursued Panera Bread for three years before it opened a store in The Landing.
Officials are continu-ally supplying real estate brokers with information about Renton.
But, the efforts are not without some failures.
Ron McGowan, building owner of the space once occupied by Stix-N-Stones, had no comment about why the restaurant didn’t work. He’s aggressively looking for a new tenant, perhaps a restaurant chain. TJ Stone, owner of Stix-N-Stones, could not be reached for comment.
Stix-N-Stones featured fresh ingredients and its chef was willing to adapt his menu to the wishes of the customers. It had a bar and regular karaoke. When it opened, it replaced Fin ‘n Bone.
Don Schumsky’s build-ing on nearby South Third
Street down-town has re-mained vacant for two years
while he’s tried to get another restaurant tenant to replace the Calico Cheese-cake Cafe.
He’s shown the space to a number of interested people, but many didn’t have the restaurant experi-ence and knowledge to run a successful restaurant, he said.
Angelo’s Pizza and Pasta House is trying hard not to be the next casualty of the hard times. Owner Tom Pallis said the restaurant has experienced an upswing in sales this year, starting in
February.Because of their base of
loyal, regular customers, they’ve been able to stay resilient, he said.
“This place is mostly regulars who keep us going. I’d say it’s like 80 percent regulars who come in here,” Pallis said. “And, I think that’s how we got through the tough times from ‘09 and 10.”
It is generally thought the recession ended in 2009, but consumer attitudes toward eating out seem to reflect a bent toward frugal-ity even in the last couple of years.
The NPD Group, a marketing research firm, found that about three-quarters of the consumers they surveyed in a spring report fell into the cautious,
controlled-spender group. This included “adults in all demographic groups but skewed toward the unem-ployed, less affluent and retirees,” a release stated.
Pallis said his customers have been different.
“Our regular customers really supported us and they were coming here supporting us because they knew it was tough,” he said. “They would come in and they would tell us ‘We’re not going to let you go out of business, we’re here.’”
Pallis said he’s not only had to deal with strug-gling revenues but loss of customers due to compet-ing pizza chains that have sprung up in the Highlands neighborhood.
To compete Pallis and Lisa, his wife and co-owner,
say they rely on being con-sistent and providing great customer service.
“We probably know over a thousand people’s names, literally,” said Lisa.
They have a cheat-sheet behind the counter if they get stuck, but the couple strives to greet their regular customers by name as they enter the restaurant.
Angelo’s original owner, Angelo Sarris, didn’t do this, but instead greeted everyone with a friendly, “Hi, how are you?”
The restaurant opened in 1986.
Tom bought the restau-rant from Sarris in 1998 after working for Sarris for eight years. He started as the dishwasher and worked his way up to cooking the pizza and other dishes. It
took him about a year to learn and perfect Sarris’ recipes.
Tom said he had all the knowledge and “it was like switching shoes basically.”
Their No. 1 seller is their spaghetti and meat sauce, of which Tom said he makes the most of all their dishes. That’s followed closely by their lasagna and fettucini alfredo. Their pizzas are popular, too, but because of the surrounding competition their sales have dropped a little.
They have mostly dine-in customers.
At one time Seahawks coaching staff, a player and scouts would eat at Angelo’s. But they have moved away as the team has changed, he said.
One need only look at the wall in front of the kitchen to see their com-munity support apparent in pictures of soccer and base-ball teams the restaurant sponsors. They also support the Seattle Majestics, the professional women’s tackle football team.
Tom and Lisa are together almost 24 hours a day seven days a week. Tom cooks and Lisa runs the dinning room area. Lisa thinks that customers appreciate that it’s a family run business.
They employ four people during the week and six on the weekends.
For now they won’t expand, but will keep their strategy the same of provid-ing quality ingredients and great customer service and hope that will pull them through shaky times in consumer spending.
Renton has about 250 places to eat, but they come and go

In a frustrating season when struggles with turnout numbers translated to struggles on the fi eld, fi rst-year Renton football coach Donald Ponds felt the weight.
Aft er taking a step back to breathe, he’s back, more experi-enced and ready to take the Indians to the next level.
“I learned it’s not as bad as it seems,” Ponds said. “I had to take some time off and look back and re-evaluate what my role is as head coach. ... I’m very pleased with the way things have been going this year.”
Renton fi nished the year 1-7 overall and 1-5 in Seamount play. Th e team found a strength in the passing game, fi nishing second in the league with 14 passing touch-downs and third in the league with 159.6 passing yards per game.
At the same time the Indians struggled to hold on to the ball, fi nishing with a turnover ratio of negative nine.
One thing Ponds did fi nd in 2010 was his passer of the future. Dashauun Sauls impressed in limited action as a freshman aft er earning the starting job late in the season. Now the sophomore comes
into the year as the no-questions starter.
“He has grown tremendously this spring,” Ponds said. “We’re going to utilize him both as a runner and a passer. We’ll get him out on some options. He’s going to be special.”
Th e Indians will have to replace many of their leading skill position players. Leading rushers Robert Reeves (368 rushing yards, six touchdowns) and Nakee McGary (182 yards, one touchdown) both graduated. Kickoff returner Marcus Clinton also graduated aft er leading the Seamount in return yardage (352) and kickoff return touch-downs (four).
Receivers Justin Bennett and P.J. Benedictus are also gone. Bennnett totaled 803 yards and nine touch-downs, while Benedictus chipped in 266 yards and four touchdowns.
“We did lose big-time bookend receivers,” Ponds said. “But we do have good receivers back.”
Ponds said junior Kent-Meridian transfer Ray Castro will help to stretch the fi eld with his speed, while senior captain P.J. Mattingly has the best hands on the team. Mattingly will play tight end and receiver.
At running back, senior Anthony Gold takes over. Gold was a stand-out for Sandpoint High School in
Idaho. “He is a speedy guy for sure; he’s
our fastest kid,” Ponds said. “He’s a shift y back and we’ll get him out in the open and throw the ball to him a little bit.”
Senior Brian Barron will help Gold shoulder the load in the backfi eld.
On defense it will be the line-backers leading the way. Mattingly and senior Wayne Fuimaono have become leaders on the team.
“Th ose guys at linebacker are going to be very physical, very fast,” Ponds said. “Th at’s who made plays for us last year.”
On the defensive line senior Bubi Dumas holds down the middle at nose tackle. Cleveland transfer Manual Collins adds a rangy, fast athlete at defensive end.
Renton kicks off the season against Cedarcrest Friday night at home. Th e Indians start league play against Lindbergh Sept. 16.
BY ADAM MCFADDEN
[email protected] one player of the year can be tough,
but how about two? Th at’s the challenge for Lindbergh and coach Pat O’Grady this season.
Seamount off ensive back of the year Bakari Davis and defensive back of the year Dion-dre Toms both graduated. With them, about 30 touchdowns plus priceless experience and athleticism. Both are playing for New Mexico Highlanders University this year. But all is not lost for the Eagles.
“It’s going to be tough losing those two guys,” O’Grady said. “But we’ve got some young skill guys who are stepping up. We may not replace them with one guy, it may be two or three guys who get that job done.”
Lindbergh has an edge in getting those skill players the ball with junior quarterback Matt Stuart. Stuart enters his third year as the starter and he made the second team all-league off ense last year.
“It’s time for him to start stepping up and progressing toward being a good college-level quarterback,” O’Grady said. “He’s got the fun-damentals down, now we’re trying to do some extra things.”
Stuart threw for 1,435 yards and 14 touch-downs last season.
Junior Cam Callen is the team’s leading returning receiver. Callen will play all over on of-fense. He can line up in the backfi eld, at receiver and will even play quarterback in Lindbergh’s Wildcat formation.
“He’s very similar to both Bakari and Dion-dre,” O’Grady said of Callen. “He’s very versatile
and can do a lot of things. He’s a game-breaker. He’s got speed enough to run by you, he’s got shakes enough to make you miss and he’s strong enough to run through you.”
Callen can throw well and O’Grady said he might be the second-best kicker in the league behind Lindbergh junior Derrick Holt.
Holt led the Seamount in yards per punt and total points last year. He also made the fi rst team all-league off ense. Holt is a standout on defense and off ense as well, where he plays the Eagles’ equivalent of a tight end.
“He’s good at those inside possession routes where we need a guy who can make the catch when he knows a hit is coming,” O’Grady said.
Calebse Cange will be the team’s speed threat. He fl ashed some of his playmaking ability with two interceptions returned for touchdowns last year. David Wells, Craig Yamaguchi and Joe Simpson will all get time at receiver.
On defense Callen takes Toms’ spot at safety. Callen fi nished third in the league in tackles for loss (11) and fourth in sacks last year (four). Th e Eagles also have junior defensive end Mitchell Kapesi back. Kapesi made the fi rst team all-league defense and fi nished second in tackles for loss (11.5), and third in sacks (4.5).
Th ose two should be able to make up for los-ing Davis and Toms, plus defensive standouts Isiah Corwin and Chris Derouin to graduation.
“What we do scheme-wise is pretty dynamic and it’s just kind of plug and play,” O’Grady said. “We like to plug your tendencies and we are very aggressive.”
O’Grady said much of the defensive success comes from coordinator Matt Leamer.
“He’s ultra prepared and it shows week to week,” O’Grady said.
Lindbergh led the league in rushing yards allowed per game, yards per carry, rushing touchdowns allowed and passing touchdowns allowed last season.
Th e Eagles fi nished 6-2 overall, 5-1 in Sea-mount play last year and advanced to state for the third straight year. Th ey started the road to a fourth straight state appearance Th ursday night against Marysville-Getchell. Lindbergh starts league play Sept. 16 against Renton.
