Residents of the Riverbend Mobile Home Com-munity just east of Renton city limits are not thrilled the county purchased the park and will be relocating all of the residents during the next three years.

“I’m just crying right now,” said Gary Evett on Tuesday as he sat on his back porch overlooking the Cedar River.

Evett and his wife Cathy have lived in the mobile home on the same spot overlooking the Cedar for 18 years. The home has been in Gary’s family even

longer.It’s a beautiful location, with the geese flying up

the river literally just feet from their back porch, which they said they just had built last year.

“The salmon spawn right in front of our house,” Gary said, shaking his head. “It’s a crying shame.”

But the Evetts, like everyone in the Riverbend Mobile Home Community, will be moving out in the next two or three years as the land they rent for their home will be turned into parkland.

King County last week announced the purchase of the 18.6-acre, mobile-home park for $6.8 million as

county’s purchase of mobile home park means moving day is coming

Gary evett sits on his back deck and watches the river. After 18 years here, he has to move soon due to the sale of the Riverbend community. BRiAn BeckLey, Renton Reporter

A citizens group, the City of Renton and a King County Library System renovation team have yet to see what a state hearing examiner makes of an appeal and site plan review before him.

Phil Oblrechts, the hearing examiner, has given the group Save the Cedar River Library…Again! until Aug. 6 to make the case that there is a lack of cultural and historical mitigation plans in the environmental review for the downtown Renton library.

Tuesday, Olbrechts presided over a public hearing for both the appeal and the site plan re-view and a permit related to shoreline work. The appeal portion of the hearing took most of the day, with entire hearing running from 10 a.m. to nearly 3 p.m.

After the citizens group’s submission, the City of Renton has two days to submit a reply, after which time the hearing examiner can make a determination. He has 10 days to decide.

river Days ‘smooth,’ but attendance seems downBy Brian Beckley

[email protected]

City officials said this year’s River Days celebration went smoothly, despite hearing from “more than a few people” that the festival seemed quieter than previous years.

Renton Community Relations and Events Coordinator Sonja Mejlaender estimated that 25,000 to 30,000 people attended the festival over the three days, but said it was impossible to get an exact number due to the non-gated, multi-access nature of the event.

However, during the festival several vendors remarked that numbers seemed to be down from prior events.

Mejlaender said she too had heard from people that things seemed less busy than in the past, but said it is hard to tell because of the spread out nature of the days.

People may be at the car show or circus at the Cedar River Park, for example, and therefore it may look like

there are fewer at Liberty, the main site, she said.

But Mejlaender also said the week-end’s blazing sunshine and heat could have played in to the numbers. Mej-laender said the heat Friday afternoon was certainly a factor and said the mornings and Sunday, which were

cooler, seemed to be better attended.“It just ebbs and flows,” she said.Mejlaender also said the last-minute

change of the annual shuttle from the stadium lot, which is being re-surfaced, to the Senior Activity Center seemed to work out well.

There was lots to do for children of all ages at the annual Renton River Days festival this past weekend, including chasing bubbles in the Art Market. BRiAn BeckLey, Renton Reporterr

CorrectionDue to a misunderstanding, it was re-

ported in our July 12 issue that the bridge at Riverview Park was built in the 1990s. The property, including the bridge, was acquired in 1979-1980. In 1993, as part of the park construction, the bridge was modified to include handrails and interpretive signage. In 2005, there were additional major repairs, including re-enforcement of the in-stream pilings and the replacement of decking with concrete. Major flood events in 2009, 2010 and 2011 caused additional damage.

Many Renton residents, espe-cially new residents, may not know about the city’s coal mining past. In fact asking people on the street what the Renton Mine Hoist Foun-dation is, might produce some very blank stares.

So what is it?Renton History Museum Direc-

tor Elizabeth Stewart describes it as “the last physical reminder of Renton’s coal mining past, so it’s very significant to our history, rec-ognized by the fact that it’s a King County landmark site,” she said in an email. “The foundation had a gi-ant engine bolted to it that dragged loaded coal cars out of the mine.”

In August, artist Kristin Schimik will create a site-specific art instal-lation and performance art piece for the Renton Mine Hoist Founda-tion. The Renton History Museum staff helped write a grant applica-tion to 4Culture, an arts organiza-tion, for the project.

The Infinity Loop Project is the name of Schimik’s art installation.

The mine hoist is located off of Benson Road South, unnoticed by probably most of the drivers head-ing down the road into downtown Renton toward Sam’s Club and Renton City Hall.

For the project, Schimik will use a great deal of raw, red clay to build paths in the shape of a St. James Arms symbol, which is used to

“indicate a place of interest and an-cient monument in Scandanavia,” the project description reads. There will be walking paths to symbolize the endless time, perpetual motion and symmetrical stillness of the center.

“I was excited by the idea of the project for the mining history and where materials come from,” said Schimik.

When Schimik first saw the foundation, she felt like she was standing in the ruin of a castle, she said.

Previously, Schimik didn’t as-sociate the Northwest with a coal

mining history. She did her graduate studies in

ceramic sculpture and lived for five years in Marquette, Mich., an iron- ore mining town. Schimik became intrigued by the idea of where the rocks come from and that the rocks seem to be where the wealth in that town was located. The artist currently lives in Seattle and has a residency with Pottery Northwest.

Stewart notes how Renton got its start with coal.

“Coal mining continued to be more or less profitable until the World War I, when production declined significantly,” Stewart said.

“Small-scale mining continued into the 1950s, but it became increas-ingly difficult as the mines were exhausted.”

For the performance piece of the project, a performer will repeatedly walk the loops of the paths. Carbon “stones” will be reconstructed into a tower. For each broken down chunk of stone, the performer will walk another loop.

The slowness of making the “stones” or “balls” is important, Schimik said, because it is done in contrast to fast-moving roads in the area.

“It takes some imagination to picture what it would have looked like, but I think Kristin’s art instal-lation will help brings it to life,” said Stewart of the Renton Mine Hoist Foundation.

The museum director said the artist is ideal for this particular site “because of her interest in energy and how humans use it-that’s ex-actly what gave Renton its start!”

On Aug. 15 the Renton History Museum will host a talk by the art-ist, where she will invite attendees to create spheres for the project after a 7 p.m. lecture. On Aug. 24, Schimik will build the coal tower that goes in the center of the piece.

A Bellevue woman known to police and pharmacists for her fre-quent purchases of a narcotic pain killer was arrested July 16 at a drug store on Grady Way.

But this time – and after her felony arrest – it turned out the prescription was for real.

The suspect caught the attention of the pharmacist because of the numerous times she’s purchased Vicodin with what she subsequent-ly learned were forged prescrip-tions.

A doctor had alerted her a month earlier that the woman was forging prescriptions using his name. He advised her to call any doc-tors named on a prescription.

She also found it puzzling that the name on the prescription didn’t match the name on her driver’s license. The doctor on the prescrip-tion told her the prescription was a forgery and to not fill it.

The pharmacist called police; an officer remembered her from a similar incident. An officer at-

tempted to reach the doctor on the prescription.

Based on what officers learned, the woman was arrested and taken to the SCORE regional jail.

Then the doctor called the of-ficer. The woman saw him earlier in the day for a tooth pain and he prescribed Vicodin. Shortly, he received a call from the doctor who had spoken with the pharmacist that the woman was “doctor shop-ping” for medication. It’s then he told the pharmacist the prescrip-tion was not good.

Still, the woman had used a legitimate prescription to get the Vicodin, meaning the officer did not have probable cause to arrest her.

The officer drove her back to her

car at the pharmacy and gave her a case number for her records.

Facebook post puts her at the scene

A post to Facebook helped con-vince a Renton Police officer that a 30-year-old woman dressed in a shorts and a polka-dot bikini top should be arrested for shoplifting a pair of sunglasses.

The Puyallup woman dropped by an optical shop of 108th Avenue South July 15 to get her glasses ad-justed. The employee then showed her multiple sunglasses.

The employee was called away, but the suspect continued to look at the sunglasses. After the suspect

This photograph, provided by King County, shows the Evett’s mobile home during the flood of 1990. Despite this picture, the Evetts do not want to leave the park. SubmittED

Residents not ready to leave Riverbend[ RiveRbend from page 1]

part of a long-term public safety project to protect residents along the river from floods.

The Riverbend property fills a gap in a five-mile stretch of publicly owned land along the south bank of the river between the Elliot Bridge Reach and Belmondo Natural Area.

“It’s a public safety project at the end of the day,” said Doug Williams, media rela-tions coordinator for the King County De-partment of Natural Resources and Parks. “It removes people from harm’s way.”

The Riverbend Mobile Home Communi-ty currently has 87 occupied mobile homes and 38 occupied RV sites. All residents will be eligible for relocation benefits.

But that is cold comfort for the Evetts and other residents of the park.

Gary and Cathy were married at the park, right on the banks of the river behind their home and their plan was to retire soon and stay right there on the Cedar River.

“There’s nobody that wants to leave,” he said of his neighbors.

Williams said residents are “under-standably upset” about having to leave the community, which provides low-income housing and has a large percentage of Spanish-speaking residents.

But Williams insisted the move was nec-essary to restore the river’s natural channel and protect residents from rising flood waters.

Acquiring the Riverbend property has

long been a high priority in the King County Flood Hazard Management plan, approved by the King County Council. Williams said when the park’s owners ap-proached the county earlier this year about selling the land, the county decided to take the opportunity to complete the stretch of greenway along the river.

“They offered it for sale and we were able to negotiate a price that was fair,” he said.

The $6.8 million cost of the land will come from a number of sources, including from the King County Flood Control Dis-trict and a mix of state and regional grants, including the Salmon Recovery Funding Board, King County Conservation Futures and WRIA 8 Cooperative Watershed Man-agement grants.

“A fundamental role of local government is to protect residents and property from injury and damage by natural disasters,” said Mark Isaacson, director of King Coun-ty’s Water and Land Resources Division, in a press release. “Although it’s hard to imagine at the height of summer, this com-munity faces risks from both flooding and sudden changes in the river’s course during winter floods. In 1990, the river channel shifted suddenly overnight, washing out the flood control levee and undercutting and threatening homes.”

The Evetts dispute the county’s assess-ment of the danger of floods, citing the 1990 flood as the only time the water crested the river’s banks, though they do say it has been close twice since then.

But they are not worried. The photo-graph sent with the purchase announce-

ment of a home with the river flowing under it during the 1990 event is their home. At the time it was occupied by Gary’s father, who told officials trying to get him to leave “the captain goes down with the ship” before closing the door and riding out the storm.

But with the sale to the county – a move that several residents said was unexpected and surprising to them – relocation efforts are already under way, beginning with ap-praisals of all of the homes to establish fair market value.

The residents who live closest to the river, like the Evetts, will be the first to be moved.

Under the federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Property Acquisitions Poli-cies Act, the county will pay for the homes, the relocation to “comparable” housing and

moving expenses. Residents will also be eligible for rent supplement for three years to make up the difference between their current rent and that of their new home.

“They can move where ever they want,” said acquisition and relocation specialist Linda Holecek. “There’s no restriction.”

The county expects the complete reloca-tion to take about three years.

Williams also insisted the purchase by the county is better for residents than a purchase by a private investor, because of the relocation program.

But to the Evetts, who said they know they will be compensated, the wound is still fresh.

“This is like a little slice of paradise,” Gary said waving his arm toward the river. “We are just crushed we are being forced out by King County.”

resident of Renton, Washington, passed away July 28, 2013. Jean was born in Granite, Montana and spent her early years there before her family moved to Black Diamond, Washington.

Blessed with a vibrant personality and an infectious sense of humor, she eagerly shared her enjoyment of life with those around her. As a young woman, Jean was

an avid skier, golfer, dancer, and fan of horse racing. Jean shared her gifts of handiwork, crocheting, knitting, and embroidery with many family members and friends. Ahead of her time, she held a number of positions with Pacific Car and Foundry, Boeing, Seattle First National Bank, the Renton School District, and the Renton Housing Authority.

Jean was preceded in death by George, her husband of 47 years. Both were active members of the Renton Elks Lodge. They enjoyed camping and family vacations throughout the western states.

Jean is survived by her children, Jeanne O’Connor (Doug) and Ken Spencer (Linda Hansen), grandchildren Tyson, Tara, Brent, his fiancée Sarah, and extended family members Mark, Yulia, Robin, Elya, Sasha, Athena and Alexa, and many special nieces and nephews.

After moving to Longview in 2010, Jean enjoyed working with grade school children and their reading program.

Jane HinkleyJane L. Hinkley (Bennett) passed away

after a brief illness on July 17, 2013. She was surrounded by her family & friends as she peacefully fell asleep one last time.

Jane was born on September 22, 1951 in Renton, Washington. She graduated from Renton High School in 1969 and attended Central Washington University. She earned her nursing degree from Seattle Central Community College and later became a Radiation Therapist working for several years at Swedish Hospital. She loved helping patients and was admired for her caring, compassionate, and generous heart. In recent years she owned and operated a successful postal business in Vancouver, WA.

With her quick wit and amazing sense of humor she was always the life of the party. Cooking and entertaining were her passions and she would use any excuse to throw a party so she could surround herself with friends and family. In recent years she fell in love with the beach at Westport and was excited about moving there after retiring. She enjoyed clam digging, decorating her cabin, and planning the nightly menu.

Jane was preceded in death by her parents Kenneth and Marjory. She is survived by her husband and best friend Fred, daughters Jamie and Sarah, son Erle, grandchildren Zander, Maya, & Dylan. Her sisters Claudia & Marjory, brothers Mark & Dean. Nephews Scott, Judd & Wesley, Niece Erin.

Her enthusiasm and zest for life were unmatched and will be sorely missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. A party to celebrate Jane’s life is planned for August at the family house

in Newcastle. 836229

Anna (Schuler) PerrinsAnna (Schuler) Perrins, 94, was

born in Valier, Montana in 1919, and passed away at home in Seattle in June.

Memorial service and burial were held on June 20, 2013 at Greenwood Memorial Park in Renton.

Anna spent her first 9 years in Valier, and in 1928 her family moved to Portland, Oregon. She married another

Valerian, Francis Perrins, in 1942 and they settled in Seattle. Anna was a homemaker until 1971 when her husband started his own business, Amplified Sound Co.

Camping, fishing, and relaxing at their cabin took a backseat to making the business a success. Anna learned enough about bookkeeping and electronics to help manage every aspect of the business. She retired to just “helping out” after her husband passed away in 1998, and their son carried on. Her cheerful smile and endless energy will be missed so very much by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her.

She is survived by daughter Ronda Bryant of Renton; daughter Ilona Perrins of Seattle; son George Perrins of Kent;

four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.838027

left, the employee noticed that the sunglasses were missing. Surveillance video showed the woman con-cealing the sunglasses in her large pink purse.

The officer asked the employee to call up the woman’s Facebook page she had looked at earlier. The suspect was wearing the sunglasses and the bikini top.

The officer called the sus-pect, who said she hadn’t been in Renton that day. But this is what she wrote on her Facebook page (her misspellings, punctuation):

“We are at the water park in rwnton for 8 bucks you get slides wave pool regular

pool and river raft what a steal!!” It was date stamped July 15.

The officer didn’t have a good address for the woman, so he couldn’t issue her a citation. But he did forward the case to the city prosecutor.

What came first, the affair or the dead chickens?

A neighbor dispute may be behind the death of chickens in a Renton neighborhood.

A woman found a dead chicken in her backyard, which came from her neighbor’s yard. The neigh-bor had added two chick-ens to her flock of four but

she told the neighbor the two were hers. The two still stayed with the other chickens.

The dispute is over an affair with a husband.

The woman told an of-ficer her cat went missing in May and one of her two chickens then disappeared. She thinks the neighbor’s wife is trying to get back at her.

However, there’s no evi-dence that’s the case.

Tools , clothing stolen from locked vehicle

A black backpack filled with hand tools valued at about $150 were stolen

from a vehicle parked in a hotel parking lot on Grady Way July 15.

A caliper worth $200 was also stolen.

The thief broke the rear driver’s-side window; the vehicle was locked.

Left behind were a GPS and other items of value.

[ BloTTer from page 3]


Last Thursday we got an email at the paper an-nouncing that a woman named Sonia Hoglander was planning a unique protest at City Hall over the fact that her water had been shut off.

Sonia planned to deliver a letter at the city’s utility department and then head to a bathroom at City Hall to wash a tub of dishes she brought with her.

Sonia made no bones about the reason her water was shut off: She had not paid her bill. But she had not paid it because she said she could not afford to do so, having had her income drop by 75 percent since the recession began in 2008.

We had a small debate in the newsroom as to whether this was something that warranted coverage, as it’s pretty straight forward that if you don’t pay your bill, they will stop delivering wa-ter to your house and I did not necessarily want to encourage others to not pay their water bills.

But I was convinced that not only was this a larger issue than this one woman, it would probably make a good photo opportu-nity and it is our job to cover what is going on in the city.

So I grabbed the camera and headed down.

Sure enough, at 1 p.m. Sonia drove up, gathered her dishes and a fellow from

SAFE in Seattle (an organization “dedicated to building a mass movement to stop bank evic-tions, achieve principal reduction and put people before profit,” according to their website; Sonia is a member and said she had the “full backing” of the group) and headed into City Hall.

I hung back and watched as she nervously read her letter to the confused woman at the utilities counter – who promised to deliver it to Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmer-man – and then headed down the hall to the restrooms.

In her letter, Sonia called it “unconscionable that community leaders would permit/force families to live without potable water” and demanded the city accept community service for her bill and turn her water back on.

Sonia had her companion check to be sure the men’s room was unoccupied and then went in, where she began to wash her dishes in the rest-room sink while the gentleman with her filmed the entire event, asking her about what she was doing and why.

I stood in the entrance to the first-floor men’s room, holding the door open and watching. I took my pictures and then, as I realized she was looking at me when she spoke instead of the camera, I stepped back outside and decided to wait until she was through in the restroom, as I was not really part of her protest and did not want to be.

As she was finishing, one male worker ap-proached the bathroom, wondered what was going on and when told, went elsewhere to use the restroom.

Sonia finished washing her dishes and headed back outside.

I introduced myself and asked a few questions, which will probably eventually be visible on You-

tube somewhere, as the whole thing was filmed.Sonia told me she is an electrical engineer by

trade with a masters in business administration. She used to work for Microsoft as a contract employee, but when the recession hit, she was laid off. She was offered another contract at a severely reduced rate and opted not to take it.

She said she cannot find a job and now runs a business out of her home advising homeowners of environmental toxins, including electromag-netic radiation and molds.

She said her partner helps her pay her mort-gage for the house she has called home since 2000, but it had gotten to the point where other bills were falling by the wayside.

Sonia said her unpaid bill was about $116 and that her water had been shut off Tuesday morn-ing. She called the city and several aid resources, but no one was able to help her get her water turned back on.

“I was very upset,” she said. “I decided I am not going to take this sitting down.”

That was when she decided to wash her dishes at City Hall to make her point.

As we were standing there, a Renton Police officer walked up and hovered as I finished with my questions. When I finished, the officer asked “Were you in the men’s room?” and asked her not to do that as they received a complaint.

Looking for an active, engaging and entertaining venue most any night of the week? Downtown Renton’s Luther’s Table seems to be drawing a regular crowd to their weekly live music and activity nights.

The restaurant and pub’s “Open Mic” night every Thursday at 7:30 p.m., is this week’s Cheap Date idea.

Gretchen Mertes,

Luther’s Table community developer, said that themed night, “has become one of the most popular events and the place to see fresh local talent in Renton.”

“The environment is live-ly and fun, combining the best of both worlds—artists who take the opportunity seriously and put their best talent out there and an audience that is encourag-ing to newcomers and those trying out new things,” she said.

The music varies from indie to old-school blue-grass to modern pop and original songs by the artists. Some regulars are invited

back to perform full sets for special events at the café, said Mertes.

Performers are asked to sign up by 6 p.m. and play up to three songs or for 15 minutes, whichever comes first.

Mertes even performs herself with the bands “Nina and the Big Boys” and “Between Here & There,” at least once a month.

Luther’s Table draws a wide mix of people.

“Pretty much every age group is represented,” Mertes said. “The high school crowd can often be found hanging out before and after school, and our ‘Open Mic’ night skews to the teens and 20s, although older adults are there too. Dinnertime and weekend lunch sees lots of families, carrying over into the live music events. Later in the evening we’ll have adults of all ages. During the week, you’ll often see folks on

their laptops doing work as a break from the office as well as seniors relaxing with coffee.”

Luther’s Table is a non-tipping house and does not charge a cover for music events. Sometimes there

is a fee for special events, but generally in lieu of tips the accept donations for a different local charity every month.

Probate is the legal process that determines how a deceased person’s assets will be distributed. The Superior Court has jurisdiction to approve the decedent’s Will, and to appoint the person who has the responsibility to administer the estate.

In the process, the rights of the estate’s beneficiaries, as well as the decedent’s creditors and taxing authorities are protected. The financial aspects of the decedent’s life are “wrapped up” and the assets are distributed in accordance with the decedent’s wishes.

Protect your right to distribute your estate as you intend in a cost-effective manner. Consult an estate planning attorney today.

King County will hold public meetings on its proposed standards for the zoning of marijuana-related businesses that would be regulated by the state and located in unincorporated King County, outside of cities.

“The voters have man-dated that marijuana-relat-ed businesses are allowed uses, so we have worked to identify appropriate zoning districts for them,” said John Starbard, director of the King County Depart-ment of Permitting and Environmental Review.

The agency will hold four public meetings in August on the proposed legislation. All meetings are 6 to 9 p.m., with an open house the first hour with King County staff available to answer questions. The public com-ment period will begin at 7 p.m.

Among the elements of the proposed ordinance that will be discussed:

• Indoor growing and processing of marijuana would be allowed in areas zoned as Community Busi-ness, Regional Business and Industrial.

• Outdoor growing would be limited to the Agriculture and Rural Area zones.

County Executive Dow Constantine is expected to submit a final proposed ordinance to the Metropoli-tan King County Council by the end of August.

Olbrechts heard in-person testimony in council chambers by members of the citi-zens group and local residents. Personal experiences with the library over the Cedar River were offered as well as expert testimony.

Dennis Ossenkop spoke as a 40-year Renton resident and a retired Federal Aviation Administration staffer, familiar with the Environmental Protection Act permitting process. Paul Ouellette gave testimony, too, as a long-time resident and family man, who’s used the library and park complex. Ouellette called himself an expert witness, based on his background as an engineering consultant and presented technical concerns about the renovation plans. Nicola Robinson, who filed the appeal with David Keyes and Beth Asher, read a letter said to be from David Arthur Johnston, the only surviving architect of the library built in 1975.

The hearing examiner was also given written testimony from residents and some correspondence, such as letters from the state Department of Archeology and Historical Preservation. Olbrechts even allowed DVDs of a March 19 KCLS Board of Trustees’ meeting, depicting outcry from Renton residents. Senior Assistant City Attorney Garmon Newsom II objected to the video submissions, then withdrew the objection after Olbrechts explained his allowance. The hearing examiner said the videos could be ex-hibits in the official record based on the cultural relevance issue of the appeal.

“I have a lot of work ahead of me,” the hearing examiner said, in his closing statements.

He has always been aware of Renton’s “distinctive” Cedar River Library, having grown up in Bellevue, Olbrechts told the audience. He recognized that the build-ing isn’t yet listed as an historic site, but gave indication that perhaps that distinc-tion could be included with the environ-mental policies around the renovation,

with further investigation into national policies around preservation.

The building is important, Olbrechts said, but asked if the entrance is histori-cally and culturally significant.

That question and a 400-square-foot wedge on the pedestrian bridge were the main points of contention throughout the day. The citizens group argued the use and function of the current entry way and access points are historically and culturally relevant. The KCLS and City of Renton project team countered, claiming noth-ing about the library has been “degraded.”

Kayren Kittrick, city develop-ment engineering supervisor, used that term to rebut claims the City of Renton did not study traffic and pedestrian use pattern for the library and former city hall campus. According to Kittrick, the circulation and access is continually evaluated by Renton traffic engineers.

A traffic study was not required for the library project based on the “use of trips,” she said.

“It will be rush in and rush out, gone

will be the place where people stop and gaze out,” said Richard Bray, Renton resi-dent, in his testimony.

Bray was one of many who explained the cultural and historical relevance of the current main entry of the library on the bridge deck, as he sees it.

Vanessa Dolbee, Renton senior plan-ner, had very little to add in closing statements for the city. After presenting the summary of the project for the site plan review and answering most appeal questions, she said the city has made its position clear in writing.

Miller Hull project architect Ruth Baleiko offered similar comments after the hearing.

“Our submittal, like Vanessa said, is on the record,” Baleiko said. “And I think it’s really up to the hearing examiner to make whatever decisions are appropri-ate.”

Everything presented in the public hearing does not change the design team’s approach during the interim, while they wait for the hearing examiner’s determi-nation, according to the architect.

When asked if the citizens group got out all their arguments in the hearing, David Keyes said the group would be reviewing its primary arguments. Keyes stated that he has to be “circumspect” about answering media questions now.

“We think that it’s very important that the SEPA application and determination of non-significance or significance, or asking for more information all be done carefully,” Keyes said. “So that, these later steps, like shoreline (permitting), can be done appropriately.”

The detailing of cultural and historical relevance of the project is crucial, Keyes said, because the shoreline permit suggests that all involved state agencies and public groups study that relevance and give “coherent answers in the SEPA

checklist.”“In the application for shoreline (per-

mit), KCLS blew that away and the city - for whatever reason - didn’t give it the consideration, we think they needed to,” Keyes said. “They didn’t challenge it.”

SPONSORED BY:

Sonia’s companion repeatedly asked if it was illegal for a woman to go in the men’s room and the officer repeatedly said she did not know if there was a state law, but she had been called because Sonia’s going into the men’s room was disturbing the peace.

The man asked again and got the same answer. He asked again and got the same answer. He asked again and got the same answer. Then he asked why the officer wasn’t answering his question, to which the officer responded that she had, about five times, and now unless they had fur-ther business at City Hall, please leave.

The officer also said next time, just use the ladies’ room to wash your dishes. Honestly, I thought she was very professional in handling the situation, which was admittedly a little strange, all things considered.

I asked Sonia what she thought should be done. Everyone in the city pays for water to be delivered to their home and when you don’t pay, it gets shut off.

Believe me, I know. It’s happened to me since I moved to Renton. Luckily for me, it was an issue of simply not paying, as op-posed to being unable, but it still is a very uncomfort-able morning when you go to make coffee and can’t.

Sonia said she felt com-munity service should be accepted as payment and said she has done a lot of community service with SAFE, doing homeless out-reach, working for social justice and for protecting the environment. She felt those entitled her to some kind of break from the city.

It’s an interesting thought, really, and I don’t necessarily think it’s a bad one, though I am not convinced the community service she cited should count at all for a city of Renton water bill.

But there is some merit, in my mind, to a discussion about such an initiative. Perhaps if she was pick-ing up litter, or mowing parkland or painting over graffiti or something of quantifiable value to the City (please note capital “c”), I might be talked into it.

Sonia’s basic tenet – that water is a human right no one should be without

– is also a difficult sell. It sounds good on the sur-face, but again, we are not just paying for the water – a resource that is limited – but to have it filtered, cleaned and delivered to our homes.

So what does it all mean? Honestly, I don’t really know.

But in the end, I was glad I was talked into going. This was Renton news. It may not have been big news, but Sonia certainly peacefully exercised her rights and protested what she felt was an injustice in what I thought was a wholly unique way, and I admire her for that.

But at the same time, I can’t help but think that if you are not paying your water bill, for whatever reason, the water to your home should be shut off.

I have been thinking about it since and am curious what you think. I have made this week’s poll question “Do you think the

city should accept com-munity service for utility payments?”

Please let us know what you think.

But Mejlaender said the city wants to hear from festival-goers and has posted a survey to the rentonriverdays.org. Attendees are asked to weigh in on this year’s event to help the city plan for next year.

“We learn every year,” she said. “We try to improve every year.”

Mejlaender also thanked the volunteers, civic organiza-tions and vendors who worked to make this year’s event fun.

Now, with the park quiet and the tents and stage re-moved, members of the city’s team are taking a short break and will get started right away on next year’s event, which is already scheduled: July 25-27, 2014.

Burn ban in effect for King County

As hot and dry weather conditions continue the outdoor fire danger has increased. In response King County issued a fire safety burn ban in unincorporated areas of the county effective Monday.

This is a Phase 1 burn ban and applies to all outdoor burning except for small recreational fires in estab-lished fire pits at approved

camp grounds or private property with the owner’s permission.

Recreational fires must:• Be built in a metal or

concrete fire pit, such as those typically found in designated campgrounds; and not be used as debris disposal;

• Grow no larger than three feet in diameter;

• Be located in a clear spot free from any vegeta-tion for at least 10 feet in a horizontal direction, including at least 25 feet away from any structure

and allow 20-foot vertical clearance from overhanging branches; and

• Be attended at all times by an alert individual and equipment capable of extin-guishing the fire.

For properties located within cities, please contact your local jurisdiction for requirements. This ban re-mains in effect until further notice.

For more information, visit the King County De-partment of Permitting and Environmental Review Fire Marshal website.
