Among the names are former candidates, business owners, homeowners association presidents and average citizens from a vari-ety of backgrounds,

Th e decision on who will replace Briere will be made by the City Council dur-ing Monday’s meeting. Th e new council member will serve until the general election in November 2015, at which point they will have to run for re-election.

Scammers cost Renton woman $10,000

BY DEAN A. RADFORD

[email protected]

She had just fi nished fi lling her car with gas at a mini-mart on Rainier Av-enue when a man approached her with a story that touched her heart.

He was in America, having traveled from Africa to attend his uncle’s funeral. And he was about to receive a large

inheritance that he wanted to donate to local churches.

She could help with those donations – and even donate some money herself.

He was in a hurry because he had to fl y back to Africa that night. He was short on cash because a taxi driver took his $300 when he dropped him off at the gas station.

Th e 80-year-old and the 50-ish man who spoke with an African accent drove together to the Safeway on South Second Street, where they met another man, according to the Renton Police

report of the incident.Th ey needed to establish trust,

because of the large amount of money involved.

She withdrew $10,000 from her bank, which was combined with cash the men already. She then drove each man around the block, while the other waited in the parking lot with the cash.

Th en it was her turn to drive around the block alone as the two men stood in the parking, holding the cash, so they could establish trust with her.

Th is year, three Rentonians, originally from Russia, will dance in Emerald City Ballet Th eatre’s “Th e Nutcracker.”

Father Roman Zinovyev; mom Tatiana Liabina, and son Danil Zinovyev will perform in the ballet company’s performances at the Northshore Performing Arts Cen-ter in Bothell.

Th e parents are teachers at EBT and say they’re really not a dancing family so much as they are a regular family with some strange habits, including being a little crazy about ballet.

In the upcoming performances, both parents are Arabian soloists and Roman also plays Mr. Drossel-meyer, while Danil plays Fritz.

Roman and Tatiana started teaching at EBT in Sept. 2011. Th ey are responsible for teaching all of the dancers and Roman in particu-lar leads the boys’ dance, partnering with the older Clara and the Sugar Plum dancers. “Th e Nutcracker” brings the couple back to their childhood, said Roman.

“Th e enchanting music of Tchai-kovsky always immerses us in real fairy tale,” he said.

Th e piece is one of his favorites as he likes to see his dancers go from being awkward “ugly ducks” to beautiful “swans.”

“We as teachers (are) always very nervous for every single kid on stage,” said Roman.

It’s like he is taking his fi rst step on stage every time he watches his students in a performance, he said, it’s a feeling he cannot live without.

At home the family tries not to talk about ballet because it is al-ready so much a part of their lives. Roman said it’s hard to coach his

own son Danil in ballet because he thinks he’s too critical of him, but added that ballet is hard for young men.

Roman has been involved with ballet for about 24 years. He got started late, he said, when he was 14 years old. His professional career as a principal dancer includes the Samara Academic Th eatre Opera and Ballet, the Grigorovich Ballet of Russia and the Sarasota Ballet of Florida. He’s taught in Tennesee, Colorado and Florida in the U.S. In addition to EBT, Roman teaches at P2 Dance Academy in Marysville.

“Sometimes you tell yourself ‘enough,’ but you can’t stop, you can’t do anything else because you love it so much,” said Roman.

Tatiana’s professional career includes the Novosibirsk Academic Th eatre Opera and Ballet and the Grigorovich Ballet of Russia. In the U.S. she continued her dance career with the Sarasota Ballet of Florida and the National Ballet of Denver. She also teaches at P2 as well as EBT.

For the company’s upcoming “Th e Nutcracker” 16-year-old Eme-line Settlemyre of Kent will make

her debut as the Sugar Plum Fairy and Shane Tice of Seattle will play her Cavalier.

Th e show is scheduled for 2 p.m., Dec. 6, 7, 13 and 14 at the North-shore Performing Arts Center, 18125 92nd Ave. N.E., Bothell.

Tickets are $20 for children under 17, $31.50 for seniors and $35 for adults and can be purchased

by calling 425-984-2471 or visiting npacf.org.

Th e Evergreen City Ballet will also put on a performance of “Th e Nutcracker” at 1:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., Dec. 20 and 21, at the Renton IKEA Performing Arts Center, 400 S. Second St., Renton. Tickets range from $14 to $32. For more informa-tion, call 425-228-6800.

COUNTY GIVES $5,000 TO CENTER OF HOPE

The REACH Center of Hope will be getting $5,000 from King County as part of the next budget cycle.

The money will go toward shelter services and capital investments.

“For me, this new funding for Renton’s REACH Center of Hope

was one of the bright spots in this year’s budget,” said

King County Councilman Dave Upthegrove in a press release.

Located at Renton City Hall, the center provides safe places for

homeless women and children to stay during the day and to

work on transitioning into stable housing.

“Thank you to Councilmember Upthegrove for supporting our community’s most vulnerable

women and children,” said Rev. Dr. Linda Smith, Director of

REACH Center of Hope. “With these funds we can help women

and children transition more quickly from being homeless

to more long term sustainable housing.”

Th e Hazen High School Players are performing “Our Miss Brooks: A com-edy in three acts,” starting this week in the school’s auditorium.

Set in the ‘50s, “Our Miss Brooks” is a nostalgic look back at a sarcastic English teacher, Connie Brooks, who’s in need of a husband and has her eyes set on the high school basketball coach, Hugo Longacre.

When the school play is thrust upon her, she fi nds herself at odds with Longacre, who she must compete with for use of the school’s gym. A “battle royal” develops and the basketball team’s star player, Ted, gives up the team to play the lead part.

Meanwhile, Jane, an-other student and daugh-ter of the school board president, is determined to play opposite Ted, who she’s got a crush on. Miss Brooks gives the role to

another girl, who reads her lines better than Jane and so the pot boils.

Brett Crueger, the school’s drama teacher, likes the classics and chose this particular play to go for something simpler than the school’s last pro-duction, which was a piece

by Shakespeare.“Th ere’s some things

that, oh, wouldn’t fl y today because she’s a spinster English teacher looking for a husband,” he said. “You know, that’s not how we view things today, but it’s nice to be a little nostalgic about how things were.” Crueger modifi ed the

script a bit to brush aside the conventions that wouldn’t work today, but he likes the overall source material. Senior Shelby Mathison plays Miss Brooks and said she likes the character because she has something in common with her.

“She has a very sarcastic nature, which I feel fi ts with my personal atti-tude,” said Mathison with a laugh. “So I think it was easy to see where she was coming from and see how she would react to diff er-ent scenarios.”

Senior Dillon Englehart plays Coach Longacre and loved getting into his character.

“I used to play basket-ball, so it was really fun for me to play a basketball coach in the fi rst place, plus I just love being a diff erent person entirely,” Englehart said. “I love get-ting into my character and making them come to life.”

Th e play has a good mix of students from seniors to freshmen like Eden Allen, who plays Jane, a character

she said is smart, but very shy.

“I love my character,” said Allen. “I don’t know, I’m not really a shy person, so it’s just kind of fun to experiment with the role.”

Her love interest, Ted, is played by Tristan Ham-ilton, a junior. Hamilton calls Ted, not a jock, but a stupid guy going out with the wrong girl.

“I like playing any char-acter because I like being in plays,” said Hamilton. “Th is is just a really good way to meet people and just pass the time.”

Th is is Crueger’s “30-something-odd” play and he said he enjoyed the script and working with the kids.

Th e production opened Th ursday night, but runs again at 7 p.m., Dec. 5, 6, 11, 12 and 13, at 1101 Ho-quiam Ave. N.E., Renton. Tickets are $6 with ASB, for military, children un-der 12 and honored citizen and $8 without ASB and for adults. For more infor-mation, call 425-204-4200.

Th e seat was open to all registered Renton voters who have lived in the city for more than one year. Candidates had to fi le letters of interest and any other materials outlining qualifi cations, including letters of recommenda-tion, by noon Monday.

Th e 13 candidates interviewed Tuesday were (in alpha-betical order by fi rst name, as provided by the city): Beth Asher, Carol Ann Witschi, Charlene Pogue, Debra Leroy, James Flynn, Jan Ennis, KB Van Horn, Mark Martinez, Marven Rosette, Mike Snow, Patrick Hillyer, Robin Jones and Ruth Perez.

Before the meeting, Renate Beedon and William Roe-nicke both pulled their names from consideration. Jim Weisen did not attend the meeting and Jacob Fruehling

and Larry Wright both left before their inter-views.

Coucilmembers said they were impressed by all of the candidates.

“Th e caliber of the people was just so high,” Councilwoman Marcie Palmer said Wednesday.

“It was very impressive.”“Th ere were some very, very talented candidates,”

agreed Councilman Ed Prince.Th e council on Monday agreed to the interview process

following a lengthy discussion on the best way to pro-ceed. Ultimately, the council went with a suggestion from Concilman Randy Corman to give each candidate fi ve minutes to present themselves and then 10 minutes to answer question from the council.

On Wednesday, Prince credited Corman for the sugges-tion, which he said worked out exceptionally well.

Palmer said the fi rst candidate set the tone for the evening when he told the council he had put all of his in-formation in his application and resume and immediately opened it to questions.

Palmer said the others followed suit and that helped speed the process.

Each candidate was sent a list of 22 sample questions used the last time the council selected a replacement in January 2008. During that process, there were 11 candi-dates and three rounds of balloting and Rich Zwicker was appointed to the council. Th e process took 2 hours and 45 minutes.

Th e sample questions sent to each candidate include things like “In what areas do you think Renton should provide more or better services than are currently being provided, and how should added services be funded?” and “Describe how you approach solving a problem” or “Please describe your understanding of the diff erences in the roles of the City Council, the Mayor and Staff .”

Also included are more specifi c questions, including asking about balancing density with Growth Management Act requirements, how the candidate would handle a call about tall grass in a right-of-way near their home, knowl-edge of state Public Disclosure laws and even “What past decisions of the Council are you least supportive of?”

Candidates were told the questions were only samples and not necessarily what would be asked.

According to Prince, the actual questions ranged from budget-related questions about specifi c revenue models to

how they work with others and would communicate with the city’s diverse population. He said each candidate was prepared and ready to answer.

“I think they all did great,” he said.Th e decision now belongs to the City Council, who is

expected to choose a replacement Monday. Anyone wishing to watch the interview process can

view the video at www.rentonwa.gov.

“The caliber of the people was just so high. It was very impressive.” Councilwoman Marcie Palmer

When she returned, they were gone, along with her $10,000.

She never intended to give the men her $10,000 but she was willing to go through the exercise to estab-lish trust.

She reported the incident as infor-mational only; she didn’t want to be a victim.

Terri Vickers, a spokeswoman for the Renton Police Department, said there’s no single answer to “what to do if approached” if facing a similar

situation or possible scam.“Th ere are a thousand possible

variables and as many ‘right’ an-swers,” she said.

“Older people are oft en reluctant to be ‘rude,’ so they may be more likely to listen a stranger’s story, whether in person or on a phone scam, than someone younger,” she said.

For sure, anyone should always be aware of their surroundings, even strangers, she said.

“If approached by someone they don’t know, it’s probably best to

decline to engage in conversation,” she said. “If given a ‘story’ – whether it’s money needed for gas, food for hungry children, donations to char-ity – just say no.”

Or suggest that those in need call 911 for emergency services or 211 for community resources, she said.

Th e Washington Secretary of State’s website also has a list of legiti-mate charities and organizations for those who want to do a good deed, she said. It’s https://www.sos.wa.gov/charities/search.aspx

City to host public servicefor Terri Briere on Tuesday

Police off er advice on dealing with scammers

All Renton, all the time. www.rentonreporter.com


I am a “Wizard of Oz” afi cionado, meaning that I collect the movie memorabilia and like to quote various characters, usually at inappropri-ate times. One of my favorite quotes is by the Wizard himself, when he is about to award the Tin Man with an award.

“Back where I come from, there are men who do nothing all day but good deeds. Th ey are called phila...er ... phila...er, good deed doers. And their hearts are no bigger than yours. But they have one thing you haven’t got. A testimo-nial,” the Wizard says.

Th e work of the good deed doers (phila...phila...philanthropists) in our community would put the Tin Man to shame. Look around you. Th ey may not wear medals or crowns, so they may be diffi cult to iden-tify, but they are everywhere. You can recognize them by the deeds they have done.

Th ey are the ones who make our food banks prosper so that those less fortunate have something to eat. Th ey fi nd ways to create shelters and transitional housing in order that homeless families will have a safe place to sleep.

Th ey help provide counseling and family sup-port for those who are mentally ill or addicted to drugs or alcohol. Th ey support at-risk youth so they have a chance at a good education.

Th ey create recreational opportunities for the disabled, help seniors feel less isolated, rescue abused animals, and provide a safe environment for domestic violence victims. Th ey understand the importance of arts and culture and support these causes when funding is cut.

And if they can’t do it alone, they recruit oth-

ers to help launch eff orts, like bringing health-care to the jobless or clean water to Th ird World countries.

Th ese individuals are selfl ess and dauntless in their eff ort to make our community, and all that it stands for, the Emerald City of our dreams. Th ey do this by taking leadership roles on nonprofi t boards, volunteering countless hours of time on the front lines, making sacrifi cial fi nancial contributions, and stepping up to the plate to raise money when it’s needed.

Th ese are the giants of the philanthropic world. Th ey’re not getting paid. Th ey do it be-cause it needs to be done. And believe me when I say that our communities would be very diff er-ent without them.

On Feb. 12, 2015, the Renton Community Foundation will launch a big event to celebrate and elevate philanthropy in our community and the good work done by so many. “CELEBRATE! Th e Love of Community” will be held at the Renton Pavilion Event Center.

Th e party-like atmosphere will off er food, beverage, and entertainment. At the same time, RCF will award almost $200,000 in grants to area nonprofi ts so that even more good work can be done!

Tickets will be available for just $25 aft er the fi rst of the year and everyone is invited.

But the real highlight of the event will be when we induct the fi rst members into the newly formed “LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDI-NARY GIVERS,” a society of “good deed doers” who have made their mark on our community through the donation of their time, talent, and treasure.

If you know of someone who stands up, stands

Th e votes are counted, but contributions continue fl owing to participants in this year’s election.

Tens of thousands of dollars in political donations have been reported to the state Public Disclosure Commission ahead of next week’s deadline for candidates and party committees to reveal their receipts for November.

Early fi lings show that victors are reaping some nice spoils, especially on the Republi-can side of the aisle.

State Sen. Pam Roach, R-Auburn, who won re-election by defeating a Republican state representative, collected nearly $10,000 from a fundraiser in Olympia put on by a cadre of longtime lobbyists.

And Th e Leadership Council, a fund controlled by the Senate Republican Caucus,

had hauled in $127,550 through Monday. Th at will replenish a cache depleted by the spending of $3 million to defend in-cumbents and add a 25th member to secure the majority in the Senate.

A similar scenario is unfolding in the House,

where Minority Leader Dan Kristiansen, R-Snohomish, ran unopposed, yet fi ve donors delivered unsolicited checks adding up to $3,250.

And the Reagan Fund, which Kristiansen and his fellow caucus leaders control, has garnered $47,500 since the election, in which Republicans gained four seats in the House.

One reason some lawmakers — not all — are out asking for money is that the rising cost of campaigns creates an insatiable need for it.

Also, state law bans lawmakers and state-wide offi cials like the governor from political fund-raising within 30 days of a legislative session. Th at’s inspired many to get what they can through solicitation letters and fundrais-ers before the freeze sets in Dec. 12.

Why individuals and interest groups re-spond with post-election contributions is the other side of the equation.

Sometimes it’s as simple as a longtime sup-porter wanting to donate one more time, like a congratulatory pat on the back.

More oft en, if the donor is an active par-ticipant in politics and intends to walk the hallways of the Capitol during the upcoming session, it is prudent to acknowledge a law-maker’s electoral success with a contribution.

Consider the action of Stand for Children in Washington, an infl uential voice in the state’s education reform movement.

Th e group gave $950 to Roach on Nov.

R E N T O N


The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released Tuesday the final cleanup plan for the Lower Duwamish Waterway Superfund site that will remove 90 percent of the pollution from the major industrial waterway.

The cleanup will cost an estimated $342 million.

The Record of Decision – or “ROD” – is the EPA’s cleanup plan to reduce risks to people’s health and the environment from toxic chemicals in the river.

The cleanup plan will remove 90 percent of pollution in the river with active cleanup of 177 acres by dredging, capping. The re-maining low levels of contamination will be addressed by the river’s natural processes bringing in clean sediments to cover the

contamination.The cleanup timeframe is estimated to be

17 years, with seven years of active cleanup and 10 years of natural recovery.

These cleanup actions complement the work of state, county and city agencies to improve the health of the Green/Duwamish watershed, according to an EPA news release.

King County Executive Dow Constan-tine called the EPA decision “historic,” following 14 years of scientific research and public engagement.

“Thanks to this long-awaited federal de-cision, we now have a roadmap for specific actions to clean up historic contamination of the Lower Duwamish River and meet our shared goal of protecting human health

and the environment,” said Constantine in a statement Tuesday.

The lower Duwamish River flows through Tukwila and Seattle’s industrial area on its way to Elliott Bay.

Constantine also called the decision “complex,” which officials “must review closely to understand what it will mean for King County and the health, economy, and environment of the Lower Duwamish, where communities face some of the great-est challenges.”

The federal decision follows a decade of

cleanup efforts by the Lower Duwamish Waterway Group to clean up nearly half of the legacy PCB contamination that con-tributed to the Superfund listing in the first place, according to a King County news release.

The region has invested more than $40 million in studies and $150 million in cleanup, including removal of 260,000 cubic yards of contaminated sediment.

A plan open house is Wednesday, Jan. 21, at Concord Elementary School, 723 S. Concord St., Seattle.

21, even though it endorsed her opponent in the election. If the group did not want to see her win this time, why would it provide funds it knows will go to help jump-start her next campaign?

“Sen. Roach invited us to a post-election fundraiser, and we participated since she has been aligned with us most of the time over the years,” policy director Dave Powell wrote in an email.

And there’s SEIU Healthcare 775NW, the statewide union for thousands of long-term care workers in Washington. It spent nearly $450,000 in this election — most of it try-ing to elect Democrats.

The organization gave $20,000 to the Leadership Council in mid-October and $10,000 to the Reagan Fund on Nov. 21, its only contributions to the GOP committees this cycle. By comparison, it gave $162,500 to Democratic counterparts in the House and Senate.

“We have over the years given financial

support to all four caucuses as part of our ongoing efforts to build relationships with legislators of both parties and to advocate for quality supports and services for older adults and people with disabilities,” spokes-man Jackson Holtz explained in an email.

Corporations and business associations are doing it, too. Alaska Airlines, for exam-ple, wrote its first check to the Reagan Fund after the election, and it was for $10,000. Farmers Insurance Group has written two checks, totaling $80,000, to the Leadership Council.

So while the season of giving to politi-cians might be drawing to an end, there seem to be plenty of people, and compa-nies, hoping to receive something in return soon.

Th e King County Library System’s Board of Trustees has named a new director to replace former director Bill Ptacek.

Gary Wasdin, currently the executive director of the Omaha Public Library in Nebraska, will be KCLS’ new director starting Jan. 26.

“Th e Library System is an essential community asset, with 48 libraries, online and mobile outreach to 1.3 million area residents,” said Interim Director Julie Acteson in a press release. “Leading KCLS is an important job—and one that opens rarely: the previous director came to KCLS more than 25 years ago. We’re delighted that Gary has accepted the board’s off er and we look forward to welcoming him to KCLS.”

Wasdin was noted for having more than 20 years experience in management positions, including retail, academic and public li-braries. KCLS recognized his broad background for giving him an in-depth understanding of leadership, organizational performance and talent management.

At his current library system in Nebraska, Wasdin has been focused on building stronger relationships with communities, elected offi cials, business leaders and philanthropic foundations.

“I’d like to thank KCLS for choosing me to be its new library di-rector,” said Wasdin in the release. “KCLS has a nationwide reputa-tion for excellence and I’m excited by the opportunity to build upon this great success. I’m looking forward to getting started and getting to know the people, libraries, and staff of KCLS. Together we will ensure that our libraries anticipate and respond to the needs of all our communities.”

Police seeking information on fatal Wednesday morning crashBY BRIAN BECKLEY

[email protected]

Renton police are investigat-ing the cause of an early morn-ing crash on South Puget Drive that left one person dead.

Police began receiving 911 calls at around 5:42 a.m. Wednesday reporting a silver Lexus sedan having left the road-way in the 2000 block of South Puget Drive.

Police arrived on the scene to fi nd the vehicle down an embankment on the road’s south side. Th e driver was pronounced dead at the scene. He has yet to be identifi ed.

No other vehicle appears to have been involved in the ac-cident. Marks on the pavement indicate the Lexus was travel-ing eastbound when it left the lane of travel at a shallow angle, crossed the sidewalk, continued down the embankment before shearing off a tree and coming to rest on its side against another tree.

Police are seeking any wit-nesses to the crash or who may have seen the Lexus prior to the

accident. Contact Offi cer Hyett at 425-430-7500 regarding case No. 14-13621.

Boeing, Ryanair fi nalize $11 billion order for 100 737 MAX 200s

Boeing and Ryanair have fi nalized an order for 100 737 MAX 200s, valued at $11 billion at current list prices. Th e order, originally announced as a commit-ment in September, includes options for 100 addi-tional 737 MAX 200 airplanes, and makes the Irish low-cost carrier the launch customer for the newest member of the 737 MAX family of airplanes.

“Ryanair is proud and honored to become the lead operator of Boeing’s ‘gamechanger’ 737 MAX 200 air-craft , which will expand our fl eet to approximately 520 aircraft by 2024 and create another 10,000 new jobs for pilots, cabin crew and engineers in Europe, while allowing us to grow traffi c from 82 million passengers last year to over 150 million by 2024,” Ryanair CEO, Michael O’Leary said in a press release.

Th e 737 MAX 200, a variant based on the success-ful 737 MAX 8, can accommodate up to 200 seats, increasing revenue potential and providing customers up to 20 percent better fuel effi ciency per seat than today’s most effi cient single-aisle airplanes.

“Th e 737 MAX 200 will be a excellent addition to Ryanair’s all-Boeing fl eet, providing the additional capacity, improved economics and high-levels of reli-ability that are required for its continued expansion,” said Todd Nelp, vice president of European Sales, Boe-ing Commercial Airplanes. “Our long-term partner-ship with Ryanair is a source of immense pride within Boeing and we are delighted to have the airline as the launch customer for the 737 MAX 200.”

Boeing developed the 737 MAX 200 in response to the needs of the fast growing low-cost sector, which is forecasted to account for 35 percent of single-aisle airline capacity by 2033. While the heart of the single-aisle market will remain at 160 seats, the 737 MAX 200 will provide carriers like Ryanair with up to 11 more seats of potential revenue and up to 5 percent lower operating costs than the 737 MAX 8, driving economic growth and increasing access to air travel.

Th e 737 MAX incorporates the latest technology CFM International LEAP-1B engines, Advanced Tech-nology winglets and other improvements to deliver the highest effi ciency, reliability and passenger com-fort in the single-aisle market. With this order, more than 50 customers have ordered more than 2,550 737 MAXs.

A woman was pulled from the Cedar River on Nov. 26, but rescuers spent the next several hours in the water looking for a child reported to be with the woman.

But aft er several hours searching, police returned with the best news possible: It turns out there was never a child in the river in the fi rst place.

Police and rescue agencies from Renton, King County and nearly a dozen surround-ing around responded at around 8:30 a.m. to reports of a woman and child seen in the Cedar River.

Rescuers pulled the woman from the water and took her to a local hospital for treatment.

But witnesses reported to police that they saw a child with the woman so rescue eff orts ramped up as emergency responders used boats and waded into the cold, rush-ing river in an attempt to fi nd the child.

Aft er several hours, the focus had shift ed from rescue to recovery.

But just aft er noon, Sheriff ’s Offi ce spokesperson Sgt. DB gates said they had confi rmed with the woman that there was never a child with her and the search was happily called off .

“It’s the best scenario,” Gates said.Gates said the woman was walking her

dog near the river when the dog somehow ended up in the water. It was not clear if the dog jumped or fell, but the woman went near the bank to get her dog and ended up in the water herself.

Witnesses saw her clinging to vegeta-tion on the side of the river and called for help. Rescuers believe she was in the water, which is presently near 40 degrees, for about 30 minutes. She was conscious when pulled out, but was unable to give detec-

tives the full story at the time.Gates said the report of the child in the

water came from confusion among wit-nesses. She described the woman as a “very small female” and said some witnesses may have thought she was a child, leading to them telling offi cers that even aft er an adult woman was pulled free, there was still a child in the water.

Gates said that aft er 30 minutes in the river, hypothermia could have begun to set in, making it diffi cult for the woman to give the full story to detectives until she warmed up some. She is expected to make a full recovery.

Gates said though there was some risk to rescuers who were searching for the child, nobody wanted to call off a search if there was even “the slimmest chance a child was in the river.”

Gates said the Cedar River is presently running about three times faster than usual and is full due to rains as well as cold.

Th e following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.

BY DEAN A. RADFORD

[email protected]

A revved-up turbo extended-cab pickup truck followed a 1966 Dodge Dart down the Houser Way bypass Nov. 7, getting close enough to almost strike the Dart’s rear end.

Th e two vehicles turned right onto North Eighth Street, but the pickup slowed to keep pace next to the Dart.

Leaning out the pickup’s window, a passenger repeat-edly slammed the butt of an 8-inch hunting knife with a hook against the Dart’s driver’s-side passenger window.

A man in his 20s screamed, “why you got to be that way bro, stop your car, bro.”

Th e Dart’s driver, a 35-year-old Renton man who had a passenger with him, pulled into the Fry’s parking lot and called police. Th e pickup took off toward Northeast 10th Street.

Th e Dart driver told of-fi cers he and his passenger feared for their lives and had no idea why the people in the pickup were so angry.

He followed all the traffi c laws and would not speed up just because they threat-ened to run him over.

Woman left purse in store

A 92-year-old woman told offi cers several men snatched her purse Nov. 7 as she was getting into her car at a thrift store on Sunset Boulevard.

Th e men then fl ed, but she couldn’t describe the car or the direction they traveled, saying she was so thrown off .

She described her purse and its contents, including a wallet and cash. She wasn’t

injured.Th e next day, the Good-

will store called police to re-port the woman’s purse had been found on a display table next to others that were for sale.

Th e offi cer took the purse to the woman’s home. Nothing was missing from the purse.

She thought she had left the purse in the store but she also had started think-ing that several men in the parking lot had stolen it.

Mortar fi rework damages porch

A Renton man watching TV at about 11:30 p.m. Nov. 8 heard a loud bang and for a minute his front porch appeared to be on fi re.

Someone had thrown a large mortar fi rework on his decking, causing a large hole in the deck and caus-ing burn marks on boards. Damage was estimated at about $500.

He has no idea why someone would want to damage his porch on Mount Baker Avenue Northeast.

Teen robbedof cellphone

A cellphone was sto-len during a strong-arm robbery of a 16-year-old boy at about noon Nov. 10 while he was walking with a friend in the 800 block of Harrington Avenue Northeast.

Th e victim told offi cers he heard someone running up behind him. He turned and a male approximately 20 years told him to hand over his cellphone.

Th e victim refused and the suspect tried to hit him in the head. Th e suspect ran home to safety and the suspect turned and fl ed.

Th e friend confi rmed the victim’s story. A white Ca-dillac is possibly associated with the robbery.

No TV but hehad heroin

A tale a Seattle man told Renton offi cers at about 9:45 p.m. Nov. 6 that he was at the back of a closed Fry’s Electronics to pick up a TV he hadn’t paid for seemed

unlikely.Someone in the had

already tried to pick up the TV at the front of the store but was told to come back the next day.

Th e offi cer decided to arrest him on a warrant for driving with his license suspended. Th e man moved slowly when asked to get out of the car, which con-cerned the offi cer.

Th e suspect had a con-cealed pistol under his shirt stuck in his waist band, for which he had a permit. “I have my gun on me,” he told offi cers.

In searching the man, an offi cer found a brown tar-like substance wrapped in foil and smelling of vinegar in his left breast pocket. Offi cers found something similar in a pouch attached to a key chain.

Th e substance later tested positive as .9 grams of heroin. He was arrested for investigation of drug pos-session and the warrant and booked into the SCORE regional jail.

A cab was called for the passenger with him.
