The day after Thanksgiving marked the opening of many Christmas tree stands in the area, including

the Newcastle Fruit and Produce Company’s Christmas tree stand. This year the business kicked off holiday sales with a celebration and introduced reindeer for customer viewing

at its location. Petting, feeding or riding the reindeer isn’t allowed.

“We’ve got two weeks to make everything disappear and recreate this as a Christmas business,” said Dave Franklin.

Franklin has co-owned the Newcastle Fruit and Produce Company for 21 years with Damu Maples. After its Christ-mas transformation was complete, the company held a tree-

Aerospace Training Center fully fundedBy BRiAN BECklEy

The new Central Sound Aerospace Training Center set to be built at the Renton Airport recently received some additional funding from the state Legislature and will now be built to its full size.

When the legislature gathered in November to pass the 777X tax-break bill for Boeing, it also passed legisla-tion providing an additional $5 million to the Aerospace training project, bringing the total amount to $12.5 mil-lion for the center.

“The goal here is to create a central training center,”

Renton Communications Director Preeti Shridhar told the City Council Monday during a presentation.

The center, when completed, will house three floors of classrooms and training spaces designed to offer hands-on learning for the next generation of aerospace workers, all at a real-life setting.

“We’re hearing from Boeing and other companies that a lot of their workers are retiring and they’re in need of new workers,” said Shridhar.

The center is designed to bring together many of the local players in the aerospace industry, as well as educa-tional facilities like Renton Technical College, to provide The Central Sound Aerospace Training Center overlooking Renton

Municipal Airport has $12.5 million in funding. Submitted [ more CENTER page 15 ]

A 34-year-old Renton woman was charged Wednesday with second-degree murder, domes-tic violence, in the Dec. 1 shooting death of her husband.

Vanetta Yvonne Richardson will be arraigned on Dec. 16. She’s being held in the King County Jail in downtown Seattle on $1 million bail. If convicted, she faces at least 15 years in prison.

Richardson called 911 at about 1:30 p.m. Dec. 1 to report she had just shot her 31-year-old hus-band, Jerry Lee Butler.

Officers found the Butler lying on the front yard, with seven gunshot wounds, including two in the back, and Richardson with her hands raised in the air, according to the Renton Police Depart-ment’s certification of probable cause filed with prosecutors. He died at the scene.

“Please, I shot my husband. Please help us,” she said to responding officers.

Renton officers have been to the residence in the 12400 block of 184th Street on several occasions for domestic incidents, according to Terri Vickers, a Renton Police Department spokeswoman.

Besides the couple, there are six children at home, including three they share in common.

According to the children and with interviews with Richardson, Butler was shot inside the house and after he ran outside.

Officers learned the couple had argued that weekend over text messages he had received from another woman.

NSierra Heights Elemen-

tary School teacher Michelle McLaughlin was named “Symetra Hero in the Class-room” for educational excel-lence.

Symetra and the Seattle Seahwaks presented the award to McLaughlin during a sur-prise classroom presentation. McLaughlin received a $1,000 check to use for classroom materials and tickets to Mon-day night’s Seahawks game where she was acknowledged during an on-field presenta-tion at Century Link Field.

“What sets Michelle McLaughlin apart as a teacher is her interest in her students in and out of school,” Tina Powell, the parent of a former

student who nominated McLaughlin for the award. “She seeks to understand them and their individual needs so she can help them develop the skills they need to succeed in life, not just in her classroom.”

Sixteen area teachers will be honored for educational excel-lence in the Symetra Heroes in the Classroom program during this NFL season. Nom-inations can be submitted by students, parents, school staff or others. Winners are se-lected based on their ability to make a difference in students’ lives, to go above and beyond in their day-to-day responsi-bilities and to help students build life skills.

“She Loves Me,” the play that the movie “You’ve Got Mail” was based on, opens Friday at Renton Civc Theatre.

The play, by Joe Masteroff, Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, runs through Dec. 21. It’s the story of two feuding European perfumery clerks, Georg and Amalia, during the 1930s. The two secretly find solace in their anonymous romantic pen pals, only to discover their respective correspondents are none other than each other.

Chris Nardine directs Renton Civic’s production of “She Loves Me.”Nardine said the play “is an endearing romantic musical comedy that captured my

heart 30 years ago when first I had the pleasure of working on it with my mentor and friend, Ron Daum.”

“In fact, I like it so much that I integrated much of his original production here at Renton Civic Theatre,” he said.

According to the director, the story has been told in many different versions as books, plays, musicals and movies. The storyline is a nice set-up for some comic circumstances and lovely music, Nardine said.

The cast that he’s pulled together really makes you believe, he said. “She Loves Me” takes the stage 7:30 p.m., Thursdays; 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday

and 2 p.m., Sunday, through Dec. 21. Tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for students and seniors.

For more information call the box office at 425-226-5529 or visit www.rentoncivic-theatre.org.

‘She Loves Me’ opens Friday at Renton Civic Theatrelighting ceremony this past weekend, with the Liberty High

School choir, a Santa appearance, roasted chestnuts and Marines collecting for Toys for Tots. According to Franklin, a couple hundred people attended the event.

The reindeer were added to the scene for the first time this year, fulfilling a long-standing wish, he said.

The two female reindeer Franklin has been calling Comet and Cupid come from a farm in Eastern Washing-ton.

“They’re starting to get really curious,” he said. “They love to munch on the needles from the fir trees.”

Since the company’s holi-day celebration, Newcastle

Fruit and Produce has been very busy selling big trees, like Noble Firs, which are top sellers early in the season. Every year the owners hand select every tree, while they are standing in the field. During the holidays, the business adds wreathes, garland, hanging baskets, holiday decor and of course trees to their produce and nursery sales.

Newcastle Fruit and Produce is still collecting toys for Toys for Tots. Their hours are Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Newcastle Fruit and Produce is located at 13013 Newcastle Way.

With only one wrestler lost to gradu-ation and three state participants back on the mat this season, the Hazen wrestling team is looking to improve over last season’s surprise run at the league title.

Though they fell just short of the top spot last year, Coach Rory Magana said his team “wrestled above our level” but is ready to show that its success was no fluke.

“Our returners are all very talented and are very solid wrestlers,” Magana said in an email.

In total, the Highlanders are bring-ing four state participants back to the mat this season. Zach Moore, Malik Haythorne and Jairo Barahona all made the tournament last year and Derek Nichols was a participant in 2012. All four are back this season.

However, Magana said Hazen is dealing with injuries to key wrestlers this season, including Erik Johannes-sen, who may be out for the season.

In addition, Cole Thatcher suffered an injury during the freestyle season and is out until mid-December.

The goal this year is a league title and the coach has a plan for how to get

there.“We want to outwork our oppo-

nents,” he said. “Great things happen when you work harder than your opponent.”

Highlanders drop double dual openerHazen High School’s hopes of a Seamount League championship in wres-

tling got off to a rocky start this season as the team on Tuesday fell to both Mercer Island and Mount Si in a season-opening double dual meet.

The final scores were Mercer Island 37, Hazen 27 and Mount Si 37, Hazen 25.

Coach Rory Magana said injuries at the upper end of the weight classes hurt his team in the opener.

“Our team wrestled tough last night against two teams with a ton experi-ence,” Magana said. “Our returners did their job and wrestled hard. Most of the time we picked up our wins where we were supposed to win but being the first outing of the season we obviously have to shake off some rust.”

Despite the loss, Magana said there are several bright spots for the Highlanders. Malik Haythorne, 152, and Zach Moore, 132, both “wrestled tough” and won their matches. Derek Nichols, Jimmy Huynh, Tyson Mowrey and Jairo Barahona also each had one impressive win by fall on the night, according to their coach.

Hazen was scheduled to welcome Highline on Thursday and travel to the Redmond Dual Tournament on Saturday.

Hazen wrestlers have high hopes this season

By Brian Beckley

[email protected]

The Hazen Highlander basketball team got its season off to a rousing start Tuesday night, with a 68-66 win over Liberty that saw Hazen fans storming the court at Liberty High School when the buzzer sounded.

Dominic Green led the Highlanders with 23 points and 3 steals, while Connor O’Hearn added 13 points and 4 assists. Anthony Phillips also had 7 points, 12

rebounds and added what Coach Ryan Thompson called a “big dunk.”

According to Thompson, the atmosphere at the game was “very exciting” for the early season rivalry matchup, with large student sections cheering for both schools.

Hazen was scheduled to head to Interlake for a game Wednesday that was too late for this edition of the paper and will host its home opener against Evergreen Dec. 11.

Highlander fans storm court after win at liberty

What are we going to do about the way things are working out? How do we wrangle political force back from the elusive economic monoliths that operate along their own self-interest? What will we do when we are told we cannot speak, we cannot protest, we cannot dissent and we cannot be free?

The time has come to StandUP, America.StandUP-America first came to Renton

because a City Council member is on a board at King County and represents issues all King County residents face. Second, we were happy to see that Renton has some common sense and allows for people to speak for five minutes to fully explain their concerns.

A concern that should be addressed is King County, which has a unique situation that is seen nowhere else. The King County Council does not allow citizens to freely speak at any committee. These meetings also happen at 9 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. in downtown Seattle during working hours, when no other citizens can attend.

In response to StandUP-America’s request to open King County committees to the people, it has been suggested to remove or reduce public speaking time at the Renton City Council meet-ings. In analyzing the issue, they allow up to six people to speak at the beginning of the meeting. But over the past year, the council has seen only up to four people speaking per meeting.

This was only a trick used by the council to avoid their duties in addressing the pressing concerns that face our society as a whole and to turn the people against StandUP-America.

Cries of “communism” may seem off-base in our capitalist culture – yet is our market truly

free? As of now, economic powers have com-pletely infiltrated our political system, making them one and the same entity. This paradigm of “go-about-your-own-business-we’ll-handle-it” runs rampant in our council chambers. This cannot continue.

The time has come to StandUP.Right now, we see that power trickles down

from the federal level of government. From there it falls to state, then county, and finally, the city which ultimately tells the locals what they can and cannot do. We approach the Renton City Council because this way of thinking has brought our nation to the verge of total col-lapse. The federal government is not working for the people; in fact, it can no longer func-tion effectively at all. The power structure has been turned upside down, with the People at its base – simultaneously holding it all together, yet pushed into the ground. The People must check the accountability of our representatives on every level.

The City Council, culturally closest to the population they work for, must then check the county to ensure transparency and accountabil-ity, county to state, and state to federal.

It is time for our elected officials to work on our behalf again. Allowing citizens into the idea creation phase of an ordinance is what a free society allows. Renton City Council should be fighting alongside its citizens to demand this ac-countability at King County, not fighting those who seek justice.

The question is: why are they fighting this responsibility? Visit www.StandUP-America.us to read more about other issues.

Sam Bellomio is vice president of StandUp, America.

Washington State Attorney General Bob Fergu-son met recently with staff from Sound Publishing.By BRaNDoN maCZ

Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson says his office is prioritizing as best it can to deal with current and pending legal challenges in the state in the face of a slimmer budget, and he’s con-fident critical issues are being addressed.

Ferguson touted his selection of Nancy Krier as the open government ombudsman for his office and being able to bring that position back to full-time status. The attorney general said he is also proposing a bill to provide locally elected officials with an online training resource for navigating open records requests within the law.

While some cities are backing budgets that make government accessibility a first-tier service, others are being challenged by what they consider to be burdensome requests for public information. Fer-guson said it’s good for local governments to work to clarify with the public what they want in order to narrow the scope of requests, but sometimes it doesn’t matter.

“There will be some cost to that and some incon-venience,” he said of following open government laws, “and that’s a fact.”

The attorney general’s lawsuit against the Gro-cery Manufacturer’s Associa-tion over campaign finance concealment claims will move forward this month. So far, Ferguson said the association is accused of hiding the iden-tities of contributors of up to $10.6 million to its campaign against I-522 in Washington, which would have required labeling on some genetically modified food products. The GMA has provided the names of its backers and their share of contri-butions, but continues to deny any wrongdoing.

The Washington State Liquor Control Board is taking applications through Dec. 18 for licensure to grow, process and sell recreational marijuana with the potential for legislation to be passed next year that would require medical marijuana patients to go through these suppliers without being subjected to taxation. Many cities have accepted that they will soon need to make room for retail marijuana stores and grow sites, but others like Renton are not embracing the change. The Renton City Council voted to put a moratorium in place for marijuana businesses.

Ferguson said the liquor control board is now seeking an opinion from his office about whether these municipalities have legal grounds to oppose marijuana as a commercial enterprise in their cities and oppose the will of voters who approved I-502. He’s trying to come up with a legal opinion, he said, while continuing a good-faith effort with the federal government to keep it from intervening with state law.

With the holiday season in full swing, the at-torney general’s office also has been warning the public about potential scams, such as in retail, on-line and fake charities. Ferguson said his office also is focusing on improving protections for veterans and matching state protections for those deployed by order of the governor with federal protections afforded to those deployed by the president. The legislation is called the Washington Service Mem-bers’ Civil Relief Act and is being requested for consideration during the 2014 legislative session.Brandon Macz can be reached at 425-453-4602 or [email protected].

Rainier Avenue Project...Rainier Avenue South project ready to open ahead of scheduleOfficial ribbon cutting ceremony set for Dec. 9; original completion date was Spring 2014By BRiAn Beckley

[email protected]

Workers this week were put-ting the finishing touches on the Rainier Avenue South project with a scheduled ribbon-cutting set for Dec. 9, well ahead of the initially projected completion date of Spring 2014.

The $42 million project was de-signed to improve transit mobil-ity, upgrade traffic safety, enhance pedestrian safety, expand business access and add welcoming art displays creating a “gateway” to the City of Renton.

Beginning in April 2012, Johansen Excavating, Inc., the contractor on the project, improve-ments to Rainier Avenue South include eliminating left-hand turn lanes, adding new north and southbound lanes to increase transit mobility and business access, building wider sidewalks and install-ing planter strips and upgraded lighting.

Underground infrastructure was also relocated or installed including installation of the joint utility trench (JUT) that holds utilities like electricity, gas and telecommunications services along the west side of the road.

They also upgraded stormwater, sewer and waterline infrastruc-ture.

The project was Phase 3 of a larger construction project to improve access through Rainier Avenue South, with phases 1 and 2 being completed in 2008 and 2010, respectively.

Rainier Avenue South from South Grady Way to South 2nd Street is a high-traffic commer-cial corridor used as a major thoroughfare through the City of Renton that was often congested with intersection back-ups that decreased vehicle and transit mobility.

An estimated 50,000 cars use the roadway every day.

Pedestrian safety was also a concern. To address it, wide 8-foot sidewalks were added, along with planter strips with vegetation and upgraded street lighting.

The new Rainier Avenue South is a boulevard with a median separating the north- and southbound lanes and removing the left turn lane in the middle, sometimes referred to as a “suicide lane.”

Exits from most businesses are now right turn only, but there are U-turn routes available.

In addition to the road work, several new pieces of public art have been added to the road way, including a large piece at the cor-ner of Grady and Rainier.

The artwork, by Seattle artists Benson Shaw, features a welcome sign, a tile mosaic and series of 15 globes patterned in a wave atop metal poles.

Due to an accident this fall, the final installation of the globes may take place after the official ribbon-cutting.

Along with the globes, ad-ditional public art projects have been installed at the northern end of the project as well.

The Rainier Avenue South Proj-ect is a funding collaboration of

the City of Renton, Sound Transit, U.S. Department of Transporta-tion Federal Highway Adminis-tration, Transportation Improve-ment Board, Washington State Department of Transportation, Puget Sound Regional Council and the Department of Com-merce Public Works Board.

The new gateway to Rainier Avenue South at Grady Way will feature a large art installation, including the mosaic tiles seen above and a series of glass globes in a wave pattern. BRiAn Beckley, Renton Reporter

A 32-year-old Renton man with mul-tiple felony convictions was charged with second-degree murder in the death of a Renton woman who was found dead in early October near the Burke-Gilman Trail in Seattle.

Arraignment for Uriel Dashawn Boyd is 8:30 a.m. Dec. 16 at the King County Courthouse in Seattle. He’s being held in the King County Jail in downtown Seattle on $1 million bail.

In asking for the $1 million bail, prosecu-tors wrote in charging documents that Boyd admitted he sold cocaine to the victim, Jowanna Alexis Gooden, 26, and

then shot her in the head with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun in a dispute over damage to his car.

Boyd was arrested at about 6:30 p.m. Nov. 26 in the 17700 block of Benson Road South in Renton after a weeks-long investigation that included surveillance at the Emerald Heights apartment complex where he lived.

Two individuals driving by on Northlake Way in north Seattle at about 4:25 a.m. Oct. 4 saw a body lying on the trail. Boyd told detectives he and Gooden drove to the area of Gasworks Park in Seattle, where he said he brandished the 9 mm handgun to scare her.

“The gun went off,” he told investigators, as he stood less than two feet from Gooden.

With a slew of top returners and a handful of new members of the team, the Lindbergh swim team is looking to at least try and repeat last year’s third-place finish in the league, second-place finish at districts and 14th place finish at the state meet.

According to Coach Roger Miron, this year’s squad will benefit from returners Andrew Franco-Munoz, A.J. Lim, Blake Tibbitts, Titus Owen, Zack Anderson, Dupree Nugent, Ben Pogue and Timothy Ramos.

Despite losing key swimmers such as

Aaron Jacobsen, Spencer Clair, Tanner Jones, Josh Jordan, Peter Han and others, Miron said new additions like James Bu-chanan and Derek Anderson should help keep the Eagles in contention.

Miron said he expects Kennedy and Hazen to again be forces in the Seamount and hopes to finish with them at the top and hopefully take second again at the district meet, as well as get as many swimmers as possible to qualify for the state meet.

The Lindbergh swim season gets under way Friday with the Seamount Relays at Hazen pool.

a place to train workers.Originally intended as a relatively small

$2.5 million project, once the parties in-volved came together to discuss the indus-try’s needs, they realized a bigger training center was needed.

The city requested an additional $10 million from the state for the project and originally received an additional $5 million from the legislature last session.

But the city and the other players in-volved continued to lobby the legislature for the additional amount and received

the money as part of a Nov. 9 bill that also included additional funding for technical colleges and the Washington Aerospace Training and Research Center in Edmonds.

Because they received the full amount requested, the new center will be 21,000-square-feet facility with multiple classrooms and three “high bays” that will be big enough to house airplane parts like wings or a fuselage.

The building will be able to handle 80 to 120 students per shift, or an estimated 1,500 per year.

Early renderings of the building show a three-story structure built into the hillside at the southeast corner of the airport.

Much of the main level is glass with an angled roof designed to invoke the image of an airplane wing.

For their part, the city of Renton would provide the land for the building, valued at about $1.5 million, and would oversee construction. Once completed, the city would act as “landlords,” according to City

Administrator Jay Covington, leaving the

actual operation of the facility to others in the industry.

“We’re not going to be running the insti-tute,” Shridhar added.

The money from the state is only for construction costs and will not provide for operation.

Though a timetable for construction has not yet been developed, Shridhar said the hope is for the building to open in the fall of 2015.

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

By DEAN A. RADFORD

[email protected]

A man in his mid-20s who implied he had a weapon robbed the Chase Bank in the Fred Meyer store on Nov. 14 of an un-disclosed amount of cash.

After watching the sus-pect hang out at the deposit table, an employee asked if she could help. He walked up to a teller with a note: “Have gun put money in an envelope.”

The teller pulled the panic button and gave him the cash in her drawer.

Security cameras show the man entering and leaving the Fred Meyer on 108th Avenue Northeast. He is 5-foot-5 with a thin build and was wearing a gray hoodie, blue jeans and a black baseball hat.

High-speed chaseA small Honda having

engine problems led Au-burn officers, then Renton ones on a high-speed chase at about 3 a.m. Nov. 19 from State Route 167 to Interstate 5.

Renton officers picked up the chase on Southwest Grady Way. The Honda’s driver slammed on the brakes; the car stalled and he restarted it, finally taking off.

Traffic was light and there was light rain as the pursuit continued along Grady Way at about 80 mph and onto Interurban Avenue South in Tukwila, where the Honda reached speeds of about 90 mph.

The Honda entered northbound I-5 just beyond the Foster Golf Course. Renton officers broke off the pursuit, because of fear the driver would reach unreasonable speeds on the freeway.

State troopers were un-able to locate the car.

Tires recoveredA Renton-area man kept

dispatchers informed early Nov. 18 as he followed a white Chevy pickup carry-ing his stolen tires and rims.

He lost sight of the truck near South 18th Street and Grant Avenue South, but officers spotted it in an apartment complex on Ea-gle Ridge Drive. The driver, a 29-year-old Tacoma man, tried to drive around the

patrol car but the officer blocked him.

The suspect opened the ve-

hicle’s door and the officer got out, holding his service weapon low and ready. The man was detained with the assistance of another officer.

The victim positively identified the tires and rims in the back of the Chevy.

The theft actually oc-curred in King County, so a sheriff ’s deputy took over the case.

A Renton officer spotted backpacks and several lap-tops in the pickup’s cab. The ignition was removed and

a screw driver was lying on the floor. The Tacoma man is a suspect in other vehicle

prowls in the region.Dean A. Radford can be reached at 425-255-3484.
