Pharmacy chain picks Renton as first step in Washington marketBY BRIAN BECKLEY

[email protected]

The city of Renton is now home to the first CVS pharmacy in the state of Washington. The new store officially opened its doors this past weekend and a ribbon cutting was held Monday with dignitaries from the region and from the company.

“Renton’s just the perfect place for our first store,” said Hanley Wheeler, senior vice president of field

operations for the Rhode Island-based company.Located at the corner of Benson and Carr Road,

the 12,500-foot store will be the first of three planned to open in the Seattle market this year. Burien and Poulsbo are next on the list for CVS.

Wheeler said Renton was a great place to get a foothold in the region because of its proximity as a Seattle suburb and because its demographics make Renton “the type of town we have a lot of success in.”

Wheeler also noted that like the diverse neigh-borhood in which it sits, employees at the new

Renton administration officials presented the City Council with a preliminary plan to add a business and operations tax in hopes of raising nearly $6 million in revenue the city says it needs to meet its budget in the future.

Under the proposal, any business with gross receipts of more than $5 million annu-ally would have to pay a 0.1 percent tax rate/ All governmental and non-profit business would be exempt.

A three-year, $1,000 per employee tax credit for new businesses with more than 50 employees was also part of the package to ease the burden on new businesses.

According to numbers provided by the City, the new tax would affect about 75 businesses within the city limits and should generate $5.7 million per year in revenue for

A rate of 1 percent on businesses earning more than $5 million per year could generate $5.7 million

The King County Housing Authority has broken ground on Vantage Point, a 77-unit apartment development for low-income seniors in Renton that will help ease the housing crisis for some senior citizens.

The $18 million project is on land the hous-ing authority owns next to the North Benson Shopping Center on the Benson Highway and next to its 164-household Vantage Glen com-munity.

With 72 one-bedroom and five two-bedroom apartments, Vantage Point is expected to become home for about 120 residents, includ-ing some younger than 55 who have qualifying disabilities.

Vantage Point will open in late 2015 to new residents who are on the housing authority’s wait list for a place to live. The 2,700 seniors on that list have an average annual income of $11,400, or about $950 a month, which is less than the average monthly apartment rent in Renton.

One-bedroom apartments at Vantage Point will rent for about $200 a month.

“There is a growing crisis in affordable housing for seniors,” said Stephen Norman, executive director of the King County Hous-ing Authority, the developer of Vantage Point senior apartments.

By 2025, the region will need more than 10,000 additional units of affordable housing for low-income seniors, according to a study.

A number of local, state and federal officials, including Renton City Council member Ed Prince and county Executive Dow Constantine,

spoke at the event.U.S. Rep. Adam Smith, who represents

Renton in Congress, led off the guest speakers at the Aug. 8 event.

“We need a commitment at all levels of government and all levels of our community to make sure that we make affordable housing available to seniors. It’s not just going to hap-pen,” he said, citing the expense of the region.

He said Vantage Point is a “great example” of government commitment to senior housing.

Financing for Vantage Point is coming from private funds, mostly in the form of federal

low-income housing tax credits, and public dol-lars, including $2 million from King County’s housing finance program.

The Tukwila-based housing authority is contributing $5 million, including the cost of the land.

Vantage Point will have two four-story wood-frame wings connected by a central common space. To encourage socialization and physical activities, the development will include gather-ing spaces, outdoor activity spaces, gently graded walking paths and community gardens.

STATE PARKS HOST ‘FREE DAY’ AUG. 25

The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission

wants the public to know that Monday, Aug. 25, is a state

parks ‘free day.’ Day-use visitors will not need a Discover Pass to

visit state parks.The ‘free day’ is in honor of the

birthday of the National Park Service, which was established

on Aug. 25, 1916.‘Free days’ apply only to day

use, not overnight stays or rented facilities.

Washington State Parks will have two more ‘free days’ in

2014: Sept. 27, in recognition of National Public Lands

Day, and Nov. 11, in honor of Veterans Day.


I have officially become a fogey. How and when I slipped down that slope is a conun-drum to me, but all the young reporters working for me have confirmed my fogey-ness.

I have hired young, talented and very smart reporters at the Courier-Herald and Covington Reporter. What was I thinking? I’m dumb and I hire brainy (palm hits my forehead).

My drooling slide into ol’ fogeydom was gleefully pointed out to me last week when I told Mr. Ray Still (the new reporter in Bon-ney Lake) and Sarah Wehmann I planned to shoot a haying season shot for the front.

I immediately began to think back to happy hay days on my family farm. Hay-ing season was the hot time in the old town when I was young. I thought they would all be waiting on the edges of their chairs to hear my haying season tales of adventure.

What follows is an accurate rendition of the dialogue between Sarah and I (with Ray secretly rooting her on) that has been carefully crosschecked with my imaginary friend (who always agrees with me).

Sarah: “Is that a word?”Me: “Is what a word?”

Sarah: “Hay? ing?”Me: “Haying?Sarah: “Did you make that up?”Me: “No, I didn’t make it up. (My most

haughty voice) Do you know when I was a kid we never went to school in June because that was the beginning of haying season?”

Sarah: “What is it?”Smash my forehead on my desk? twice.Me: “You know hay? Haying? In bales?

Throw them around? Get all sticky and itchy? Look cool like that black-and-white movie where pretty girls sing songs and dance around with bouncy dresses and always want to kiss the guy who throws bales around and is sticky and itchy?”

I got blank stares and sympathetic nods followed by knowing sidelong glances as if I don’t notice because I am petting my pink squirrel that talks and always agrees with me.

Sarah smiled that smile and asked, “Did you take your medicine this week?”

In desperation I call my crack reporter in Covington. Surely she will know about hay-ing season.

“What did you say?”“Haying season. Haying season? You know

hay, season, bales? Haying season.”Long silence.“I had a friend who grew up on a cow

farm. Does that help?”A cow farm? A stupid cow farm. I checked

to see if I was drooling on my shirt, or if there was an incision on my head from a lobotomy I had forgotten about.

A cow farm? Seriously.I politely told her the term is dairy farm,

or beef farm? Not cow farm. Cow farm

Frank Shiers sparks conversation, debate

I completely disagree with Jerry Battisti’s opinion of Frank Shiers’ editorial cartoons in the Renton Reporter (Aug. 8, 2014). Frank does an excellent job of artistically creating images that reflect local events in our area.

Readers may not all agree with every cartoon that he draws, but he is doing exactly what outstanding editorial cartoonists are expected to do: Produce cartoons that may not coincide with everyone’s opinion, but focus on various topics

for conversation and debate.I am one of the founders of Cartoonists

Northwest and, since our beginning in 1981, our organization encourages cartoonists to express themselves through their artwork. We applaud those who are accomplished at this special type of art, and invite many professionals to share their successes with our group, in order to assist others in their personal quest.

makes me want to throw up, but if I do I give them evidence to put me away in a very quiet place.

OK, I admit it. The wunderkinds are a wonder and I am a card-carrying ol’ fogey.

The wunderkinds can text using their fancy op-posable thumbs. I text with one shaky finger and it takes me five minutes to spell the word “the” correctly.

They can post pictures with their phone in two seconds flat. My phone calls all sorts of people for no reason. It is the spawn of Satan.

The young women wunderkinds also consis-tently side with my daughter when she won’t let me choose her boyfriends, even though I am clearly the father who knows best (sounds like another cool TV show they never heard of...).

Fine. I am apparently a member of the lost cow farm generation. Since I have suddenly slipped down the slobbery slope of fogeydom, I will now embrace it.

That’s Mr. Ol’ Fogey to you.Dennis Box, editor of the Enumclaw Courier

Herald, can be reached at [email protected].

LETTER TO THE EDITOR


What is clinical depression and how does it differ from feeling sad?

It is normal to have feelings of sadness in response to certain events or circumstances in your life. What dif-ferentiates “normal” from “clinical” is the severity and per-sistence of the depression, the presence of other associated symptoms, and interference of these symptoms in your ability to function in your day-to-day activities.

By definition, a “major depressive episode” lasts at least two weeks and can include any of the following symptoms:

• Depressed mood;• Loss of interest in activities that are

normally enjoyable for you;• Difficulty sleeping or sleeping too

much;• Loss of appetite or eating too much;• Difficulty concentrating;

• Feeling tired, feeling anxious or restless; or• Having thoughts of death or suicide.Some people don’t feel sad, per se, but rather may feel

angry, irritable or apathetic. In severe depression people can sometimes have unusual experiences such as hearing voices or seeing strange things (hallucinations).

What causes clinical depression? Depression results from an imbalance of chemicals in

the brain. It is often a combination of factors in an indi-vidual that causes this imbalance. Some people have genes that put them at risk for depression (just as one may be genetically at risk to develop diabetes or high blood pres-sure) and may become depressed even when situations and circumstances in their life are good.

Stressful circumstances in childhood and/or adulthood can also put one at risk of developing depression. Indi-viduals with chronic medical conditions such as diabetes,

chronic pain and heart disease are at higher risk for devel-oping depression.

How is depression treated?Depression is typically treated with medications and/

or counseling. Medications aim to correct the imbalance of chemicals in the brain responsible for the depression. Counseling may include examining thought patterns that contribute to feeling depressed, gaining insight into factors in your life that play a role in the depression, learning cop-ing strategies, changing behaviors or improving relation-ships.

Is there anything I can do on my own to help with depression?

Absolutely. For starters, get plenty of exercise. Regular aerobic exercise has been shown to help improve mood. It is also helpful to schedule one enjoyable activity into your days, even if you don’t feel like it. When depressed persons become isolated and inactive, that can only serve to worsen the depression. Believe it or not, light therapy, or sitting in front of a special fluorescent light box (10,000 Lux intensity) for about 30 minutes each morning has been shown to be helpful for seasonal depression.

Meditation, good sleep habits and avoiding alcohol or drug abuse are also good methods of curbing episodes of depression. Adopt good sleep habits: Establish a relaxing routine before bedtime, have a regular schedule for going to bed and waking up, allow yourself a sufficient number of hours for sleep at night, and avoid excessive napping during the day.

Where do I go for help? If efforts on your own to shake the feeling and symp-

toms are unsuccessful, see your primary care doctor or a mental health professional for further evaluation and

a discussion of treatment options. If you are having thoughts of harming yourself, please go to an emergency room or call the crisis line (1-866-427-4747), which has trained counselors who can talk with you by telephone 24 hours per day, seven days per week.

Dr. Jennifer Braden is a psychiatrist at Valley Medical Center in Renton. She has a particular interest in mental health problems in individuals with chronic pain and other chronic medical conditions, and those in recovery or in treatment for substance abuse.

The King County Library System continues in its search for a new director.

The search committee meets next week to select the candidates it will invite for interviews, which will take place mid-September. The organization received

10 applications for the position.

“In late March and early April, KCLS hosted staff and public meetings and also conducted an online survey to gather input on desired characteristics for the next director,” Maria Hatcher, communications director, wrote in an email.

About 125 people at-tended the meetings and another 837 people partici-pated in the online survey, according to Hatcher.

The ideal candidate is to be a communicator, com-munity builder, visionary leader and an administra-tor. KCLS serves a popu-lation service area of 1.3 million and has an operat-ing budget of $109 million. It includes a staff of 780 full-time employees.

There are 48 community

libraries and 12 Library-2Go vehicles in the system.

The previous director, Bill Ptacek, had a salary of $165,471 and Hatcher said KCLS will offer a competi-tive salary commensurate with the qualifications of the selected candidate.

Ptacek served as director of KCLS since 1989 and resigned last year to take over as CEO of the Calgary Public Library system in Alberta, Canada.

“In October, the search committee will recom-mend its top-tier can-didates to the Board of Trustees for the final interview phase,” said Hatcher. “The final phase will include opportunities for staff, key stakeholders and the public to learn about the candidates prior

to final selection by the Board.”

In Renton, three KCLS projects continue to take shape. The downtown Renton library is still un-der construction, with no delays. The project is one month into a year-long construction schedule. There is no firm date on the opening.

The construction bid for the Highlands Li-brary has been awarded to contractor CE&C, the same contractor doing the downtown location. That contract is being devel-oped.

The Fairwood Library in unincorporated King County is also still under construction, with an opening anticipated for Nov. 1.

Search continues for new KCLS director

Renton dancer in national adIs that a local resident you just

spotted in that national Staples back-to-school ad? Why yes it is. It’s Michaela Boere of Renton, now a dancer and student at Central Wash-ington University.

Boere is the captain of the CWU Dance Team and one of eight CWU dancers featured in Staples national TV commercial, which airs nation-wide.

After winning a video contest, Boere and the dancers earned their four seconds of fame and $1,000.

The group was one of three groups chosen out of 118 applicants.

“We were asked to put our own spin on the original dance move called the shopping cart and we cho-reographed our own routine to their song selection,” said Boere, who’s studying business management and organization at CWU in Ellensburg.

The team’s portion of the com-mercial was shot at the Wildcat Shop in the Student Union and Recreation Center on campus and the dancers are wearing CWU gear.

The CWU Dance Team, which will begin the 2014-15 academic year with 22 members, performs at CWU athletic events and homecoming activi-ties and at events in the Ellensburg community.

The dancers focus on jazz and hip-hop styles, while also incorporating pom and kick.

You look a little stressed out, Renton.At least, that’s what the website Credit

Donkey says, ranking our fair city as the sixth most-stressed city in the state of Washington.

The most-stressed city, according to the site, is Bremerton, which has a high crime rate, low household income and high cost of housing.

But according to the site, which bills itself as a credit-card comparison site, what really adds to our stress here in Renton is not the crime or the rent, but the traffic.

To come up with its list, Credit Donkey used five criteria: odds of being a victim of violent crime; commute time; average work hours per week, percentage of divorcees and percentage of income spent on housing.

According to its results, the odds of being a victim of violent crime are a “relatively low” 1 in 331 inhabitants, while rent in the city is “quite low” with residents spending an average of 25.4 percent on housing.

But we in Renton spend an average of 28.8 minutes commuting to work in the morning, upping our stress levels.

According to the site, the top 10 most stressed cities in Washington are:

10. Burien9. Federal Way8. Auburn7. Lake Stevens6. Renton5. Marysville4. Tacoma3. Lake Stevens2. Everett1. Bremerton

city coffers.According to previous reports from

Administrative Service Administrator Iwen Wang, if the council does not make any changes to the city’s revenue streams, the city will face a $3.3 million budget deficit in 2016.

Because of several years worth of cuts to the city budget and staff that have already been made, Wang told the council that any further cuts would lead to “visible impact to service levels.”

In order to balance the budget in recent years, the city has cut a total of $28.7 mil-lion out of its budget since 2008. In the 2013-2014 biennium, the cuts totaled $7.7 million.

In April, the council authorized staff to look into saving money through a change from a city fire department to a fire author-ity district and to continue investigating the option of a B&O tax. In June, the council directed staff to develop legislation to go into effect Jan. 1.

Since then, the city has been meeting with stakeholders and working on the proposal, which City Administrator Jay Covington ad-mitted is “universally disliked” but said the city is “trying to plug a hole” in the budget.

“This is a bad tax,” he said Monday. “Un-fortunately, it is the bad tax we are saddled with.”

Covington went on to say that the city is working with the Chamber of Commerce and other businesses to find the “least worst way to implement this tax.” He also said discussions with the business community have shown that they like the level of service being provided by the city and understand the need for new revenue.

Most other local cities have some form of B&O tax. According to the city, Renton is the only city of its size in the county that does not have one in place.

According to the city’s numbers, Bellevue generates $27 million a year by taxing all businesses with gross receipts of more than $155,000 at a rate of 0.1496. Kent collects $5 million to $7 million per year with a 0.046 percent tax on manufacturing, retail, print-ing and processing for hire businesses and a 0.152 percent tax on everything else.

Among the exemptions the city is propos-ing, all governmental and non-profits from the tax, which according to Weng consti-tutes about 25-30 percent of employers in the city.

Chamber president Lynn Wallace reiter-ated the general opposition to the new tax.

“The business community doesn’t like the B&O tax,” she said Monday, but added that her members were appreciative that the city reached out to them.

“The process has been very open,” she said.

Wallace said the business community recognizes that the services the city pro-vides and the quality of life in Renton are an attraction to other new business and “We want to keep that.”

However, Wallace said her members would like the city to find a way to balance the books without placing the entire burden on the business community.

Among the suggestion the city received from businesses was to lower the reporting burden from $5 million in gross receipts to $1 million to more evenly spread the tax among local businesses, as well as consider adding other revenue options, such as car tabs, so both residents and businesses would contribute.

Council members were cautious regard-ing the possibility of a new tax

The outreach continued this week with a pair of Chamber of Commerce forums on Wednesday. As of now, the plan is to present the next biennial budget to the council on Oct. 6, with a public hearing scheduled for Oct. 20.

The council is expected to vote on the budget and a possible B&O tax on Nov. 3.

Become a volunteer naturalist on the Cedar River and learn about one of the world’s wildlife migrations that runs through the heart of Seattle, Renton and on up into Maple Valley. Naturalists will receive 20 hours of training from fish, interpretative and watershed experts and in return spend three weekend days making riverside presentations to the public about the Cedar River and its salmon.

Training is scheduled for three weekday evenings (Sept. 11, 18 and 25) and two weekend days (Sept. 13 and Sept. 27). Training sessions prepare volunteers to talk about the human and natural history of the Ce-dar River, the Cedar River Watershed, salmon ecology, and what we can do to help salmon. Most of the trainings are held in the Renton area, with one training at the Seattle Aquarium.

Once trained, volunteers com-mit to work in teams at one of four sites on the Cedar for three of the eight “on duty” days during October weekends.

Contact Dani Kendall at 206.792-5851 or at [email protected] to sign up. Training starts September 11, 2014. For more info, visit www.cedarriver.org.

STAFF REPORTS

Valley Medical Center has again been named among the nation’s “Most Wired” hospitals, according to Health Care’s “Most Wired” 2014 survey released in the July issue of Hospitals & Health Networks, a publication of the American Hospital Association.

This year marks the 16th annual edition of Health Care’s Most Wired survey. In that time, hospitals and health care sys-tems have made great strides in establish-ing the basic building blocks for creating robust clinical information systems aimed at improving patient care. This includes adopting technologies to improve patient documentation, advance clinical decision support and evidence-based protocols, re-duce the likelihood of medication errors, and rapidly restore access to data in the case of a disaster or outage.

This is the second year in a row that Valley has earned this honor.

“At Valley Medical Center, we view information technology as a vital compo-nent to providing effective patient care,” Wayne Manuel, vice president of informa-tion technology and chief information officer at Valley Medical Center, said in a press release. “Every year that we receive this designation is truly an honor, and a testament to the work our team conducts each day to ensure our patients have access to current, state of the art care. Whether it be through electronic medi-cal records, implementation of MyChart,

advanced use of analytics, or interfacing with patients through social media, we’re continually looking for new ways to in-novate and improve access to care for our patients.”

According to hospital spokesman Drew Symonds, the designation of “most wired” is more than having the fastest internet and newest computers. It boils down to not only using the most cutting-edge systems, but finding ways across the orga-nization to implement technology in ways other healthcare organizations are not and

to improve access to care for our patients.This year, some programs that Valley

scored highest in were:• Communicating with patients via

social media: According to Symonds, Val-ley is using YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to connect with patients and improve access to care. Some of the ways the hospital is doing this include helping patients navigate their care and providing important health information including awareness issues, updates on new guide-lines, research findings, etc. Valley is also

using social media to respond to patient feedback and concerns in real time.

• Firewall, security and data encryptionSymonds said compared to health

organizations nationwide Valley is using industry-leading firewall and encryption tools to ensure patient information stays protected and safe.

• Patient portals / MyChartAs the hospital rolled out its electronic

medical records and the MyChart plat-form, patients have continued to have im-proved access to care. Through MyChart, patients can communicate directly with their providers, review lab results, request prescription refills, manage their appoint-ments, and more closely manage their care online, according to Symonds.

Looking to the future, Symonds said Valley is focused on continuing to build out the patient portals and MyChart to help patients have more access to manag-ing their care online.

“The Most Wired data show that shared health information allows clinicians and patients to have the information they need to promote health and make the most informed decisions about treatments,” said Rich Umbdenstock, president and CEO of the American Hospital Association in a press release. “Hospitals, their clinicians and their communities are doing tremen-dous work to enhance their IT systems in ways that support care and delivery improvement, and patient engagement goals.”

Renton store speak a total of 15 different lan-guages.

“It speaks to the diversity of the neighbor-hood,” Wheeler said.

The new store is also the first CVS in the nation not to sell tobacco products. Wheeler said it was a “hard decision” to begin removing a product that accounts for $2 billion in sales nationally, but said the company decided that tobacco products have no place in a store dedi-cated to helping keep people healthy.

Other stores in the chain will begin removing tobacco products, but the Renton store is the first to open without any in stock.

In addition to the opening, CVS donated a check for $10,000 to Renton’s Community Activity Nutrition Network to be used in the development of a new community garden in the Benson neighborhood.

Economic Development Director Cliff Long said the opening speaks very highly of the city that CVS choose this location for its first store in the market.

“This is a great thing for Renton,” he said, adding that the project was also a beautiful piece of redevelopment for the neighborhood, including a pedestrian plaza at the corner in front of the store.

“I think it’s going to be a great addition to this particular neighborhood,” he said.

Chamber of Commerce Director Lynn Wal-lace agreed, adding that Renton is now home to the region’s only IKEA, only Fry’s Electron-ics and now its only CVS, as well as being the home of the Boeing 737.

“It shows real encouragement for our re-gional spotlight,” she said.

The new store will employ about 30 people.During remarks at the grand opening, Mayor

Denis Law welcomed CVS to town and said the store is already a “big home run” with residents in the neighborhood, but noted that Wheeler’s description of Renton as a Seattle suburb wasn’t quite accurate.

“Seattle is really a suburb of Renton,” Law joked, welcoming the store to the city.

What’s the one thing people who have had joint-replacement surgery say? “I wish I’d done it sooner.” That’s because it didn’t take long to get back to doing things they’d given up due to the pain.

If you’ve put part of your life on hold, then come to a free surgeon-led seminar at Swedish — where our surgeons do literally thousands of joint-replacement surgeries every year. Swedish surgeons were also the first in this area to perform MAKOplasty®, robotic-assisted surgery for partial knee joint replacement.

The middle of August is the best time to bait for slugs. Dry weather may mean you don’t see these slimy creatures but all the slug eggs that were laid earlier in the summer will begin to hatch as soon as the nights grow longer.

Baiting for slugs and snails in August will keep the population under control

for the fall garden-ing season. New slug baits are pet and vegetable safe so invest in slug control now.

August is also a good time of year to dig, divide or transplant early summer perenni-

als like iris, poppies and pulmonaria or lungwart. Do not move peonies or shrubs until fall when the weather cools and the rain returns.

Raspberry plants that gave fruit in June will have yellow canes this month and these can be cut all the way to the ground. Everbearing raspberries still giv-ing fruit can be harvested until they stop producing berries and then cut back the oldest canes by one half.

Q. I am growing dill plants and want to store the seeds for winter

use. How does one harvest and store dill

seed? B.P.

A. Dill is a great herb because it is easy to grow and both the

foliage and seeds are great for flavoring food. To harvest the seed cut the flower umbels or clusters when the oldest seeds in the bottom of the cluster start to turn black. Place the entire seed head in a shoe box and store in a cool, dry spot. In a few weeks you can shake the ripe seed onto paper and then pour the seed into a glass container with a tight fitting lid for storage.

Q. I am growing several types of basil. One has beautiful purple

blooms. Must I clip off the flowers of the basil plant to keep the leaves coming? H., Email

A. You can remove half the basil blooms and enjoy the purple

majesty of the other half but if you allow your basil to flower in late summer it will take a vacation from making new foliage and your fresh supply of basil will dwin-dle. Keep your basil plants well watered and fertilized in hot weather and you can be enjoying new foliage and making pesto until the first frost.

Q. My neighbor told me not to fertilize my roses in August or

they will die in the winter. Is this advice true or false? Anon

A. False. Feeding roses late in the summer will not cause them to

die but it can make them more suscep-tible to an early frost because feeding pro-motes tender new growth. To keep your roses in bloom all autumn you should continue to dead head or remove the faded flowers from hybrid tea roses and other varieties that are repeat bloomers. Some roses such as climbers, species and old fashioned varieties only bloom once in the summer. These will not rebloom no matter what you do so don’t feed the

“once and done” roses this month so they can slip into winter dormancy with ease. Roses are thirsty plants and they will attract more disease and insects if you allow the roots to dry out.

The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.

BY DEAN A. RADFORD

[email protected]

A 29-year-old Renton man met Kevin and they agreed to hang out and play some hoops. But first they had to pick up Kevin’s cousin.

Kevin went inside a drugstore on Rainier Avenue on Aug. 2 to get something to drink. He came outside with another man.

The second man told the victim, “Why don’t you get out of the car.” The victim heard a gun being racked; he saw Kevin holding a black handgun.

The two demanded his wallet and drove off. The victim was driving his girlfriend’s Mercedes Benz, so he called her from a restaurant. He

noticed a silver Audi circling the parking lot.

Three men came into the restaurant, including the “cousin,” who told the victim something like what he did to his sister wasn’t right. He didn’t know anyone by the sister’s name. He told them, “You got my car, just go.”

A stolen-vehicle report was filled out for the Mercedes.

HE TAKES ON OFFICERS: The inebriated Renton man went too far when he balled his fists and got right up in a Renton of-ficer’s private space.

The 45-year-old had just been expelled from Piazza Park in downtown Renton at about 8 p.m. Aug. 1 after officers found a bottle of vodka next to him. He was cited and told he was free to go.

But he continued to tell officers he was going to “beat your asses.”

He had plenty of ways from the park without going through an officer but chose not to. An officer watched as the suspect entered the “private space” of another of-ficer, going “toe to toe.”

He pulled out his Taser but the other

officer used a leg sweep to take the man to the ground, where he was handcuffed.

The Renton man suffered some abrasions to his right knee and chin. He was booked into the SCORE regional jail for obstruct-ing an officer.

On the way to the jail in Des Moines, he said, repeatedly, “You wanna get beat upside the head by a two-by-four?”

SUCKER PUNCHED: A man was sucker punched Aug. 4 as he walked in a drunken state to catch a bus at the Metro Transit Center.

The 23-year-old Renton man told an officer while he was being treated at Valley Medical Center that a man about 20 years old punched him in the face for no appar-ent reason. He didn’t try to steal anything from the victim.

NOISY NEIGHBOR: A neighbor of a tavern on Airport Way called 911 at about 10 p.m. Aug. 2 to report the sound of multiple motorcycles revving their engines in the parking lot.

The officer learned on the way there that several men were yelling. But the officer found the motorcyclists were talking in a friendly manner and their engines were off.

The officer told security inside the tavern and club leaders to keep the noise down while in the parking lot.

TEEN GETS DRUG OFF STREET: A Renton teen brought home a plastic bag filled with a white powdery substance she found Aug. 5 in a store parking lot on Renton Center Way because didn’t want children to get ahold of it.

An officer picked up the bag at her home. The substance was placed into evidence for destruction.

CELLPHONE STOLEN: Surveillance cameras captured a man picking up a cell phone the rightful owner had left behind at checkout at Walmart on Rainier Avenue July 29.

The owner didn’t realize the Galaxy S3 was missing until he arrived home.

The suspect walked out with his family without trying to turn the phone into lost and found or to store management.

Car stolen at gunpoint

LIQUOR DROPPED: A woman walked through the liquor aisles at Safe-way on Northeast Sunset Boulevard July 31, placing several bottles into a shop-ping basket.

She walked to the back of the store and put the bottles into several shopping bags, all the while being watched by a store security officer.

She then left the store without paying for the liquor.

When she was confront-ed by the security officer, she dropped the bags and fled.

Luther’s Table will hold a 2014 Back to School 5k Fun Run and Walk, Sept. 20.The event starts at 9 a.m. at Renton’s Memorial Stadium. This event for all ages is to

raise money for Luther’s Table and its non-profit partner for the year, Communities in Schools of Renton. Registration is $30 for adults, $20 for students, with a valid ID, and $10 for children 12 and under.

Once participants make it 12 times around the track, they can wander over to the non-profit fair before heading over to Luther’s Table for the after party. Prizes will be given out for the best time and for those who bring the most school spirit.

The restaurant itself has been undergoing some redevelopment. It is closed until 10 a.m., Aug. 18 when it will re-open as “a community gathering space in downtown Renton espousing the arts, service to others, and meaningful conversation,” its website states.

After six months of rethinking the concept, management decided to re-open Luther’s Table as a coffee shop and bar in order to allow the larger organization to better live out its mission. The restaurant will still feature vendors like Molly’s, The Essential Baking Company and Little Rae’s Bakery.

The redesign is to help the company, which is a mission start of St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church, better focus its energies on building great programs. They hope to host the-atre readings, documentary film series, art classes, beer and wine tastings, community forums, student study nights, lecture series and live music.

To help consumers make better deci-sions about their health care, standard measures of individual hospital quality performance are reported and publicly available. Nearly half of Most Wired organizations share this information on their websites and 86 percent provide quality scores to clinical leaders on a regular basis as part of their performance improvement initiatives.

The 2014 Most Wired Survey also covered the evolution of new models

and payment from the IT perspective. As health care delivery moves to a value-based system, it will require more and better use of data analytics, care coordi-nation and population health manage-ment.

Health Care’s Most Wired Survey was conducted between Jan. 15 and March 15. Respondents completed 680 surveys, representing 1,900 hospitals, or more than 30 percent of all U.S. hospitals.

The July H&HN cover story detailing results is available at www.hhnmag.com.

Luther’s Table to host 5K on Sept. 20

Dog legs to the right, dog legs to the left.

Shots that go up, shots that go flat and low.

Shots that curve, shots that stop.Shots that land in the sand.Par 3s, par 4s, par 5s.Sounds like golf? Almost. This is golf

with a kick – footgolf – a combination of golf and soccer that follows the rules and scoring of golf.

The only place to play regulation footgolf in King County is at the Foster Golf Links in Tukwila, not far from that bastion of soccer, Starfire Sports, home of the Seattle Sounders.

“You’ll get tested, just like golf,” but the course is set up to challenge the footgolf-er, says Warren Orr, the Foster Golf Links PGA professional. “We did not make a course that was a walk in the park, so to speak.”

Laid out in the park-like front nine of Tukwila’s golf course are 18 holes of footgolf. The holes are about 75 yards to roughly 240 yards long, using existing golf fairways and criss-crossing some. A footgolfer will walk (or drive a cart) about 2,500 yards in 18 rounds, while for a golfer it’s about 4,800 yards.

Unlike golf, footgolf tees are moved frequently to keep the course fresh and offer new challenges, simply by stick-ing two colorful stakes in the ground. It takes 20 to 30 minutes to set the course.

Footgolfers prefer tees in the rough, so they can get their foot under the ball a little more, Orr said.

Fairways will get longer to challenge teenaged boys who play elite soccer and shorter for those attending a 40-year-old’s birthday party, Orr said.

“We are going to make it more enjoyable for them,” he said.

Footgolfers and golfers don’t share the same destination – a green.

In golf the cup is moved every two or three days. But that’s not practical with a 21-inch cup that’s big enough to hold a soccer ball.

Besides, the golf course doesn’t have hole cutters big enough to dig such holes. “We just have our backs,” he said.

One reason the golf course added footgolf was to further its connections to Tukwila’s youth, Orr said.

“And, sometimes golf is not the avenue to meet some of the citizens,” Orr said. “Golf has its image.”

It seems to be working. Orr says that close to 90 percent of those playing foot-golf have not set foot on the course. Most are young people, but not all and that’s not the goal anyway, he said, and families have come out to play footgolf together.

Footgolf has met with some skepticism, mostly from golfers.

Footgolfers tend to run and bounce around – golfers are more orderly. And footgolfers are a little louder, Orr said.

The 21-inch cups aren’t a hazard: they are covered, so they look similar to a sprinkler head. Besides, most of the cups are placed in areas where a golf ball shouldn’t be, he said.

Someone might get hit in the head with a soccer ball, but Orr points out that happens with a golf ball, too.

“We feel a lot of the hesitation from some of the golfers was the not-knowing factor,” Orr said.

But rarely do golfers and footgolfers meet on the course.Footgolf is played only on Saturday and Sunday, with a

start time of 3:30 p.m. The last golfer tees off at 2:30 p.m., so there may be some overlap, Orr said.

The first public rounds of footgolf were played in early June. In the first five weeks, more than 320 rounds were played. “We are very happy with that,” Orr said. That num-ber was expected to double in the following four weeks.

The footgolf course hosted more than 100 players in a tournament Aug. 2 put on by superfans of Sounder soccer, the Emerald City Supporters. Afterward, they gathered to watch the Sounder’s game in the clubhouse.

For Orr, footgolf is the melding of his two favorite sports. “It’s a blast,” he said.

He’s the driving force behind footgolf in Tukwila and hopes it takes off. And he hopes eventually to see some of those footgolfers try golf too.

“We felt it was another way to make that connection, to say, ‘Come down here, see what we have,’” he said. “It’s another thing that Tukwila Parks and Rec has to offer, what your tax dollars go to work for.”

COST TO PLAY: $18, including tax. To book a tee time, call Foster Golf Links at 206-242-4221 or go online at www.fostergolflinks.com.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

“Beneficiary Deeds” (or “Transfer on Death Deeds”) will soon be available. They will be helpful to clients with small estates that hold real estate as the only asset that will require probate. With a Beneficiary Deed, the parent can deed real estate to their children (or other beneficiary) during their lifetime. The deed can be revoked until the death of the parent. If not revoked, the deed becomes effective at the death of the parent to vest ownership in the children - - - thus avoiding the need for probate for the real estate. Please contact our office to check out this new strategy.

I have more than 40 years of experience providing thoughtful and comprehensive counsel for clients. Please call 425-227-8700 to make an appointment.Committed to you and the community.
