Scott Bass has been traveling by bus from Everett to Renton every Sunday morning for the last five years to attend service at Calvary Baptist Church in the Highlands.

With transfers and waits, it’s a daunting trip for anyone, but Bass is also blind and deaf. He comes all the way from Everett to attend Calvary Baptist’s Deaf Church. He’s been a member for 28 years and traveled to the Renton Highlands for church when he

lived in Seattle, too. “I feel God has led me to be here,” said Bass, as interpreted by Pastor Fred De-Berry. “I never miss it at all.”

Bass was born deaf and had “traveling vision” up until the

age of 16. Coming to Calvary Baptist gives him a

big smile, he says.He is one of about 35 current members

who find community in this church. The deaf church is a ministry of the larger hearing Calvary Baptist Church, of which Grant Bowles is the senior pastor.

The deaf church is a mix of people, slightly older, who come from Renton and beyond for fellowship and worship. Some are deaf, some are hearing people but mar-ried to people who are deaf. Some have children who are deaf; others have parents who are deaf. Most of them know sign language or are learning to sign.

Doug Scholl can identify with parents of the young children who were killed in last week’s shootings in Newtown, Conn.

Like them, he will spend his first Christmas without his child, Jessica Scholl, who, prosecu-tors charge, was murdered in May by her former boyfriend, Jarod Lane.

“It has been really tough watching the TV,” said Doug Scholl of Renton. “I feel really bad for

those parents in Connecticut.”This month marks a particu-

larly difficult season for Doug and Stephanie Scholl, Jessica’s parents. What would have been happy occasions, their wedding anniversary on Dec. 23 and Jessica’s birthday on Dec. 28, are touched by sadness.

So to celebrate what would have been Jessica’s 18th birth-

day, family and friends have organized a special vigil from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Dec. 28 at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park. They will light Japanese lanterns with lotus flowers and tea lights in her honor near the swimming area.

“We think about what Jessica would want us to be doing and we just can’t not move forward because that’s not what she would want,” said Stephanie Scholl.

Originally Jessica’s mother had planned to do something just with the family, but decided to plan something bigger to include friends, who

“Estate Plan” is a term used to describe a strategy for transfer of assets to family members and other beneficiaries after death. The size and complexity of the estate, as well as your preferences will dictate the documents to include.

In some cases, a Will or a Revocable Living Trust will be the foundation of the plan. Many married couples should have a Community Property Agreement to avoid probate on the first death.

Other documents may include a Health Care Directive, Power of Attorney and other forms of beneficiary designations.

Protect your right to control the disposition of your assets. Call me at (425)227-8700 to make an appointment.

Brave swimmers race into a chilly Lake Washington during a recent Polar Bear Dip. City of Renton

The January tradition is back:the Polar Bear Dip at Coulon

A tradition for many years, the new year will begin with a quick dip into the icy waters of Lake Washing-ton at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park, 1201 Lake Washington Blvd. N. on Tuesday, Jan. 1.

The Polar Bear Dip, co-sponsored by Ivar’s, begins at 11 a.m. at the swimming beach located at the south end of the park. No registration is required.

For more information about the Polar Bear Dip, visit the city’s website at rentonwa.gov or contact the Renton Community Center at 425-430-6700.

The Renton School District has officially begun the first steps of finding a new superintendent with the hiring of a search firm.

In a special school board meeting Tuesday night, the board voted to hire Northwest Leadership Associates to search for a superintendent to replace outgoing superinten-dent Mary Alice Heuschel.

Heuschel will step into the position of newly elected Gov. Jay Inslee’s chief of staff in mid-January.

The nationwide search for a new superintendent could take months and will include staff and community input, community meetings to present candidates and more, ac-cording to a district press release.

In the interim, Assistant Superintendent Vera Risdon will act as the replacement.

To select a search firm, school board members held pub-lic study sessions to interview firms vying for the position to hire a new superintendent. The district reports that all of the companies reviewed were qualified to conduct the search.

The search will involve conducting background checks, visiting the communities of perspective candidates and presenting candidates at community meetings.

Hundreds of children in the Renton area will have a toy- and joy-filled Christmas, thanks to the Wizards of the Coast, Hasbro and the Salvation Army.

Wednesday and Thursday, hun-dreds of parents representing about

670 families descended upon a large former retail space near Fred Meyer on Rainier Av-enue to pick out donated toys for their children.

In all, because of the toys donated

by Hasbro and by residents and businesses through the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program, about 2,200 children received presents.

Wizards of the Coast, a subsid-iary of toy-maker Hasbro, donated about 8,000 toys and games to the Salvation Army’s Toy and Joy Shop.

The need this year is even greater than in past years, said Salvation Army Capt. Chris Aird, especially

at the Salvation Army Renton Ro-tary Food Bank.

The food bank has served 1,800 new families in the past five months, he said.

“That’s amazing to me,” he said. “It’s unbelievable.”

“When you see our Toy and Joy Shop and the fact that we are going to be handing out toys to more than 2,200 children that represents 670-plus families, you will see the need,” he said.

To make the distribution go smoothly, the Salvation Army enlisted the help of hundreds of volunteers, including Renton fire-fighters.

Families signed up for a date and time when they would come to pick out their gifts.

Eight Renton retailers sold tobacco to minors this yearEight Renton retailers were among the 92

retailers in King County that sold tobacco products to minors Jan. 1-Dec. 5, an illegal sales rate of more than 8 percent, according to Public Health - Seattle and King County.

The eight retailers are: Sunset Smoke, 2822 N.E. Sunset Blvd.; Chevron station, 1419 N. 30th St.; the 7-Eleven store, 404 Sunset Blvd. N.; Tienda Mi Familia, 206 Wells Ave. S.; 7-Eleven store, 17615 108th Ave. S.E.; Highlands Food Mart, 1190 N.E.

Sunset Blvd.; Kennydale Fuel, 1616 N.E. 30th St., and Safeway Fuel, 4300 N.E. 4th St.

The increase reflects a drop from the 12 percent rate in 2011, but elevated from the 6 percent average from 2006-2010. Statewide, tobacco sales to minors are at a 10-year high at 16 percent.

In Washington state, selling tobacco to a minor is prohibited by law, with a $100 fine and tobacco education for the retailer and a $50 fine for the clerk making the sale.


This is the time of year when most of us get ready to enjoy the holiday season with friends and family. It’s a time when we reflect on the past year and begin planning for the New Year. And under normal circumstances, I would take this opportunity to recap all of what the city has accomplished this year. Given the horrific massacre of 20 innocent children and six of their dedicated teachers in Connecticut, I feel that it was more relevant for me to share my thoughts on this tragedy. No matter where you go today,

people are talking about what will certainly rank as one of the most tragic events to ever hit this nation.

I would like to extend my deepest condolences to the families of the victims of the incident in Newtown. Our hearts are with you and we share your pain. Throughout

our country, people are truly grieving for these kids, the teachers and their families.

I also want to reassure the residents of our city that that my administration is working closely with the Renton School District to look out for the safety of our children. But this tragedy, along with the other recent mass shootings reminds us that, as a society, we need to work together not just to respond but to prevent these incidents from happening in the first place. Throughout our country elected officials at all levels of gov-ernment have expressed concern about the lack of gun control in this nation. The status quo is not acceptable anymore and we have to stop this senseless gun violence.

I have joined cities across the county and signed a letter from the United States Confer-ence of Mayors to the President asking for im-

mediate action to introduce and pass legislation and make reasonable changes in our gun laws and regulations. The letter calls for the following:

• Legislation to ban assault weapons and other high-capacity magazines

• Strengthen the national background-check system and eliminate loopholes

• Strengthen the penalties for straw purchases of guns

But gun control is only one step. Mass shoot-ings have become much too common. Locally, we’ve had incidents at Southcenter, Tacoma Mall and the recent shooting at a mall near Port-land. In Colorado, 12 people were killed and 58 wounded in a movie theater. And at a Sikh tem-ple in Wisconsin, seven people were killed and three others wounded. Over and over again, we are victimized by someone who is mentally ill. We struggle to try and understand how anybody can become so deranged as to execute defense-less little boys and girls in their classroom or

innocent people in malls and theaters. This isn’t supposed to happen in a civilized society.

While gun control is important, what we really need is a more robust mental health system. It is our responsibility to spend more time helping identify people with depression and helping them get help.

As our state wrestles with budget priorities, it is my hope that we pay more attention to mental health services – to provide the resources for in-dividuals with serious mental illnesses to receive treatment. And if necessary they can and should be involuntarily admitted to a hospital. We can-not afford not to do so. We cannot afford to wait for another tragedy before taking meaningful action. Denis Law is mayor of Renton. He can be reached at [email protected].

(Editor’s note: Straw purchase of guns refers to the purchase of a gun for someone who is unable to do so.)

Mental-health issues in gun violence

The Dec. 14, 2012 mass shooting which killed 27 people in New-town, Connecticut was horrific and senseless and again upon our children. I cannot begin to express my sorrow.

Our elected representatives are reacting as expected, blaming the majority of these incidents on the lack of gun control. Yet they are responsible for writing and enact-ing the present gun control policies. We have a Justice Department which has provided guns to the Mexican drug cartels, resulting in countless deaths and call the mass

murders at Fort Hood an incident of “workplace violence,” instead of what it was an act of terrorism on a military base.

Of the 142 guns possessed by killers, more than 75 percent were obtained legally. They took place in malls, restaurants, government buildings, schools and military bases. The majority of these killers were mentally ill and displayed signs of mental illness prior to setting out to kill. I agree there are no valid reasons for the sale of high-capacity magazines and assault-type rifles in our country and that gun shows should have to comply with the same requirements as dealers.

I, however, would like our lawmakers and everyone else to

focus on the true cause of most of these killings, which is the country’s mental health policy. The shoot-ing in Arizona by Jared Loughner exemplifies the problem. He had displayed signs of serious mental illness, including outbursts during his high school and college classes and complaints of voices in his head. Still he was able to purchase a 9mm Glock with a high-capacity magazine legally.

Over the past 30 years in the USA, 61 mass shootings have occurred. No less than 80 percent obtained their guns legally. Acute paranoia, delusions, and depression were rampant among them, with at least 35 of these killers committing suicide on or near the scene. Seven others were killed in shootouts with police, “suicide by cop.” At least 38 of these killers displayed prior signs of mental health problems.

We have a mental-health prob-lem which is being exasperated by our gun controls policies. Without

addressing the mental health reality of these shootings, no gun control measures will make a difference.Harry KodisRenton

A big thanks to city for lights at Coulon

The residents of Merrill Gardens at Renton Centre wish to publicly thank the City of Renton for the beautiful holiday season lights at Gene Coulon Park. Nearly 40 of us took advantage of the bus ride provided by Merrill Gardens through the park one evening. We appreciate the time and effort given by our city employees for our pleasure. The candy canes are a delightful addition this year, to the amusing dancing clams and all the tree lights.

Washington state’s recycling rate grew to its highest level ever, reach-ing 50.7 percent in 2011, according to data reported Tuesday by the Wash-ington Department of Ecology.

This is the first time the recycling rate has topped the 50 percent goal set by a 1989 Washington state law, according to an ecology department press release.

The latest available national average

recycling rate was 34 percent in 2010. Washington residents continue to

recycle more and throw away less, ac-cording to the release.

The total amount of municipal waste recycled by state residents increased by more than 186,000 tons in 2011, up 4 percent from 2010. That equals 3.64 pounds per person per day collected for recycling, which is the highest ever measured in Washington,

since the ecology department began measuring recycling in 1986.

The total amount of waste tossed out by households and businesses has been decreasing through the recession, and in 2011 that trend continued. Disposal dropped by about 170,000 tons or 4 percent in 2011. Citizens threw away 3.54 pounds of waste per person per day in landfills, the lowest amount in 24 years.

State sets recycling record

There’s no reason why used motor oil has to end up in a landfill – it’s there illegally – or burned to power a plant.

It can go right back in your car or truck.

Oil Can Henry’s in the Renton Highlands is one of the Oregon-based com-pany’s nearly 90 locations in the West that are offering customers re-refined motor oil from a Kansas company, Universal Lubricants.

“This is the future,” said Darrell Doepke, who has owned the Oil Can Henry’s at Sunset Boulevard and Duvall Avenue Northeast for eight years.

So far about 12 percent of Doepke’s customers are using ECO ULTRA motor oil that is re-refined from recycled motor oil by re-moving worn-out additives and dirt. New additives that

meet industry standards are added in.

The base oil never really wears out, said Doepke. The quality of the re-refined

oil is the same as freshly refined motor oil, he said.

The process uses about 89 percent less energy than what is needed to produce

a quart of motor oil from scratch, he said.

ECO ULTRA is priced just like any of his Castrol motor-oil products, he said.

Oil Can Henry’s began selling ECO ULTRA in fall 2011; in making the

announcement Universal Lubricants reported the United States produces approximately 1.3 billion gallons of used oil each year, but only 10 percent of it is re-refined.

Oil Can Henry’s is the first oil-change company on the West Coast to offer the product, Doepke said.

Doepke and his crew have spent the last year educating customers about the environmental ben-efits of re-refined motor oil. It takes less energy to produce, preserves Ameri-can jobs and reduces the nation’s dependence on foreign oil, he said.

Customers who switch to ECO ULTRA typically are environmentally conscious and those who opt not to prefer to stick with Castrol or may be skeptical about the process, he said.

Like other oil-change outlets, Oil Can Henry’s re-cycles used motor oil, filters and wiper blades.Dean A. Radford can be reached at 425-255-3484.

The following information was compiled based on City of Renton Police reports.

By TRACEy COMPTON

[email protected]

Police responded to reports of gunfire in the parking lot of Homerun Tavern in Renton on Nov. 17.

The incident happened around 1 a.m. Witnesses reported seeing a large group of males fighting in the parking lot and yelling at each other.

Then the males broke up and ran to their vehicles. A witness then reported hearing 10 to 12 gunshots, as the vehicles left the parking lot at a high rate of speed.

The witness could not tell if anyone was injured in the incident. To them, it appeared the suspect was shooting the handgun in the air and not at anyone in

particular. Police

checked the area and in-side the bar for victims,

but found none. They did find 15 spent bullet casings in the area. All of the bullet casing were taken as evidence.

Family frightenedA Renton woman reported an unidenti-

fied man crouching near the back patio door of the apartment she lives in with her three sisters and mother.

The incident happened at about 9 p.m. Nov. 14.

When the woman saw the man, he walked closer to the door and she grabbed the two younger sisters she was with and fled the apartment. Earlier that morning

the mother found the back patio door knob broken but didn’t think anything of it.

Now the mother suspects an ex-boy-friend is to blame. She found her patio door unlocked and noticed that her laptop was moved. It appeared that someone was trying to gain access to her password-protected files.

Man steals knivesA 32-year-old Seattle man was trespassed

from the Renton Walmart on Nov. 11 for attempting to shoplift knives.

The suspect was using a knife to cut open the packaging of other knives and conceal them in his clothes.

Then the man left the store without attempting to pay for the items. He was stopped by store security.

After frisking the suspect, security found several knives, including one large fixed-

blade, survival-type knife in the man’s sleeve.

He was arrested for theft and trespassed from the store for one year.

Bad mushroomsPolice responded to a Renton apartment

complex after a report of a kicked-in door.A man and his girlfriend, who were at

the apartment, were having paranoia issues after taking “bad mushrooms,” according to the man.

Both admitted to police they are drug addicts and live in their car.

The man does not live at the condo, his mother and her boyfriend live there. Police noticed the wood on the door was dam-aged consistent with being kicked from the outside.

Police arrested the 18-year-old man for suspicion of malicious mischief.

ADDRESS: 1032 edmonds ave. n.e., renton

church with her deaf, adopted son, CJ, for the past two years. “It means a lot to me knowing I have a group of people who are going to help me teach him about God through his own language anme teach him about God through his own language and through the experiences of a person who’s deaf,” said Huberty.

The church members have become her son’s friends and they teach him important lessons, she says.

“He gets to see other grown-ups, deaf adults, what they become and that they can be social workers, laborers, builders of cars,” said Huberty. “They can be anything they want to be.”

That’s important for him to understand the world is open to him in the future, she said.

At Calvary Baptist’s Deaf Church, the deaf lead prayers and the music.

The music selections are more like dramatic readings with the interpreters using their hands to sign and their whole bodies to articulate the meaning of the music. The audience follows along mimicking the signs.

“Remember music is poetry, just set to song,” said DeBerry. “So, they’re going to sign it so it’s very beauti-ful in sign language, but it may not have anything to do with beats.”

DeBerry has been the pastor of the deaf church for 34 years. As he signs his sermons, he speaks aloud for the hearing audience. There is always someone voicing the prayers, music, announcements or messages for the hearing members.

Sometimes DeBerry uses images and words projected on a screen to convey his point.

For the deaf and blind, currently there are two such members, translators sit across from them holding their hands so they can feel the signs. Total there are four legally blind and deaf members.

Typically there are three Bi-bles that are used with the deaf, says DeBerry. They are easier to read and at a lower reading language, but not necessarily a lower concept level.

“A typical deaf person doesn’t read at the same reading level as us,” DeBerry said. “They don’t do phonics; they didn’t grow up sounding out words.”

As a hearing person, DeBerry still looks for clues the congre-gation understands his message much like any other pastor. He

looks for their facial acknowledgment and nodding heads as he signs his sermons. He also asks questions of the group and gets feedback after church service.

“There’s no one way to do it if you really want to reach deaf people for Christ,” he said. “There’s not one way for everybody.”

DeBerry thinks there are probably only six deaf churches in the state. What’s more common is deaf min-istries, which are part of a larger hearing church.

Calvary Baptist’s Deaf Church films its services for the First Baptist Church of the Deaf in Vancouver. DeBerry used to go there a couple times a month to preach.

DeBerry calls his experience with the church “incred-ible,” and he is amazed by the dedication of members like Bass and those that take turns interpreting.

“This is his church and really this is his family,” De-Berry said of Bass. Tracey Compton can be reached at 425-255-3484, ext. 5052.

‘Tis the season for consumption—par-ties, gifts, shopping, decorations, food and more food—leading to a lot more waste. King County’s Green Holidays program is offering a new crop of ideas this month to help families balance consumption with conservation, according to a county press release.

“From DIY presents to gift wrap from reused materials, our website shows con-sumers a new batch of fun, easy ways to make the holiday more meaningful yet less wasteful,” said Tom Watson, King County’s EcoConsumer. “For example, did you know you can make a beautiful bow for a present out of an old plastic bag, or make family keepsake gifts from salvaged kitchen tiles?”

The website (KCgreenholidays.com), revamped for the 2012 season, showcases green holiday ideas and projects from local resources and from bloggers around the country. It includes project photos and step-by-step instructions.

The site is also a one-stop resource for information on how to recycle all of the holiday’s leftovers, including wrapping paper, Christmas trees, burned out holiday lights, food waste and batteries.

Here’s a sampling of Green Holidays tips offered by King County’s EcoConsumer program to help consumers reduce waste

this holiday season:• Get crafty. There’s still time to make a

few quick gifts, including fun projects with kids. The Internet abounds with fun ideas using scrap materials you might have at home, from cardboard to plastic bottles to popsicle sticks to corks.

• Give giving. Many of us have an elderly mom or grandma, for example, who says, “Honey, I don’t need any more stuff!” In-stead give a donation in their name to their favorite charity, such as an animal shelter.

• Give doing. Lots of us give “experience gifts” instead of stuff, but why not take it to a new level this year? For the adventurous, how about a gift certificate for rock climb-ing or ziplining? Or consider a trip for an entire family instead of individual gifts.

• Make your own green traditions. These can be a holiday highlight. One family cov-ers a doorway with used wrapping paper every year, and then on Christmas morn-ing the kids burst through it to see their (unwrapped) gifts.

• Be a LED-er in holiday lighting. Prices keep going down on energy-efficient LED (light-emitting diode) holiday lights. If you need new lights, go with LEDs and save big bucks on your electric bill. Recycle your old lights - see our Green Holidays website for locations.

Rep. Marcie Maxwell, a Renton Democrat, has received her committee as-signments this week for the 2013 legislative session.

Maxwell will serve on the House Appropriations Committee where decisions on budget allocations are made. Maxwell will also serve on the Appropriations Subcommittee on Educa-tion for K-12, early learn-ing, and higher education.

Stable and ample educa-tion funding is a top prior-ity for Maxwell. She has led work since 2009 to improve the state’s basic education program which must be supported with funding. Earlier this year, the state Supreme Court ruled that the Legislature was not meeting its constitutional obligation to fully fund basic education.

“One of the biggest chal-

lenges facing lawmakers in Olympia this session is how we’re going to gener-ate needed revenue for schools,” said Maxwell. “We simply cannot meet our responsibility to educa-tion through cuts to vital programs.”

Maxwell was also re-elected to her position in leadership as deputy major-ity leader for Education and Opportunity.

“I’m honored to be chosen by my peers to lead our caucus on education issues facing our state,” said Maxwell.

Maxwell’s 41st District represents Bellevue, Beaux Arts, Issaquah, Mercer Island, Newcastle, Renton, and Sammamish.

In addition to her Ap-propriations and Education committee assignments, Maxwell will also serve on the House Rules and Technology & Economic Development Committees.

The legislative session begins on Jan. 14.

Th ank you for voting meBest Insurance Agent3 Years & Running!

In her final budget proposal before leav-ing office, Gov. Chris Gregoire Tuesday proposed a balanced solution to the state’s nearly $1 billion 2013–15 budget shortfall, relying on a mix of spending cuts, reform savings, fund shifts and revenue adjust-ments, according to a press release from the Governor’s Office.

The state’s 2013–15 budget cycle begins July 1, 2013.

Gregoire also released her plan for making a $1 billion down payment toward meeting the court-mandated increase in basic education funding. In addition, she laid out capital and transportation propos-als to meet critical infrastructure needs in communities across the state.

“My goal with this budget was to give our incoming governor and the Legislature a balanced and sustainable plan that address-es our fiscal problem and preserves services that are pivotal to our future prosperity,” Gregoire said in the press release. “Nothing will do more to ensure a bright future for our state than the many enhancements we are proposing throughout our education system.”

As required by law, according to the press release, the governor’s staff prepared a 2013–15 operating budget based only on existing revenue. Besides forcing the closure of a number of state parks and leaving vital programs such as College Bound Scholarships with critical funding

shortfalls, a budget built only on existing revenue would:

• Eliminate the State Food Assistance program and other services for vulnerable citizens.

• Reduce levy equalization support to local school districts by $100 million.

• Impose $52 million in across-the-board cuts to public colleges and universities.

“We have cut billions of dollars in spend-ing and made major reforms since the start of the Great Recession,” Gregoire said. “A budget that relies only on existing revenue would not only jeopardize essential services — I’m convinced it would also hinder our economic recovery.”

Instead, the governor is proposing a more balanced approach, according to her office. Built through the Priorities of Gov-ernment budget process, her plan includes new spending reductions and captures significant savings from reforms at both the state and federal level.

The state is saving $20 million thanks to last year’s creation of the Department of Enterprise Services, which merged all or parts of five agencies. The state is also pro-jected to save nearly $140 million through its Medicaid expansion efforts under the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The governor’s budget trims funding for local government programs by $57 million and saves $360 million by suspending Initiative 732 on annual cost-

of-living raises for teachers.The governor’s operating budget does

include several revenue solutions. Gregoire is proposing to repeal a fuel use tax exemp-tion that primarily benefits refiners and is projected to cost the state $63 million in lost revenue during the 2013–15 biennium. Her budget also raises $276 million by extending the Hospital Safety Net Assess-ment, an inpatient fee created in 2010 to leverage higher Medicaid matching funds.

While generally holding the line on spending for most agencies, the governor is proposing spending increases in a few key areas. For example, she is calling for $50 million to increase enrollment slots in the state’s early childhood education system and $20 million to expand STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) op-portunities at public colleges and universi-ties. The governor’s budget also includes $19 million to address a critical funding shortfall in the state parks system.

After months of deliberation, the gover-nor is putting forward a plan for addressing the McCleary decision, in which the state Supreme Court found the state for years has failed to meet its constitutional obliga-tion to provide adequate funding for basic education. In response to the ruling, the Legislature has committed to increase state support for basic education by $3.4 billion by the 2017–19 biennium.

Gregoire is proposing a $1 billion down

payment on that commitment in 2013–15 — a 12.3 percent increase over the current K-12 budget. Her proposal would:

• Reduce class sizes in grades K-2.• Step up the phase-in of full-day kinder-

garten programs across the state.• Improve professional development for

teachers and principals.• Increase funding for maintenance, sup-

plies and operating costs.• Fully fund the state’s new pupil trans-

portation funding formula.As the governor has been saying for

months, the state cannot make these re-quired enhancements through even deeper cuts to other state services. Therefore, she is proposing what she feels is a reasonable and sustainable revenue solution, according to the press release.

First, the governor is proposing a wholesale excise tax on gasoline and diesel fuel that would increase gradually over the next three biennia to eventually fund the entire pupil transportation budget. By using transportation taxes to fund pupil transportation, state General Fund dollars will be freed up to cover the other K-12 enhancements. To pay for those enhancements for the next two biennia, the governor is proposing to extend for three and a half years two temporary taxes that the Legislature enacted in 2010 — a busi-ness and occupation surcharge on certain services and a beer tax surcharge.

wanted to do something also.The event is open to the public.“Instead of looking at the horrible events that took place

in May, we really wanted to celebrate Jessica,” said Stepha-nie Scholl.

This holiday season the mother calls quite stressful and said the family’s journey has been very difficult.

The Scholls are in the midst of trying to rebuild their house. After Jessica was killed in May, Lane set fire to the Scholls’ home, prosecutors allege. The insurance company agreed to pay for the house to be repaired but not rebuilt from the ground up as the parents wished.

The biohazard was cleaned up after the incident, but the issue was greater than that, Stephanie Scholl said.

The water the fire department used to put out the fire helped move the blood farther into the structure of the house, she said.

The insurance company just wanted to paint over it and “we didn’t want to live in a house where her blood was still (present),” she said. “People on the outside don’t grasp all of that.”

Now the Scholls are using their personal money to cover what the insurance company won’t to rebuild their home.

“I wanted to be home by Christmas, but people don’t care the way I care,” said Doug Scholl about his frustrations with the building process.

The Scholls are living at a relative’s house south of Renton. They had hoped to have walls up and a foundation on the property by winter, where their house used to sit. It’s been torn down.

“We don’t even have the building permit,” said Stephanie Scholl.

Richard “Dick” NorrisJune 30, 1946 - December 7, 2012

Richard “Dick” Norris passed away at home after 9 years living with colon cancer. Dick graduated from Renton High School in 1964 and went on to earn his undergraduate and Master’s degrees at Western Washington University.

In the seventies Dick served nine years as the � rst Associate Dean of Students at Fairhaven College. For a time he sold and raced sailboats before returning to college administration. He retired from Antioch University Seattle in May 2012 after 24 years of service, most notably as the Vice President of Administration and Finance.

Dick loved being on the water and was an avid sailor and � sherman. He was a connoisseur of good food and wine, which he most enjoyed in the company of dear friends and family. We are heartbroken at the loss of this thoughtful, patient man and will dearly miss his calm demeanor, sense of humor, positive attitude and gentle love of family.

He is survived by his loving wife of 34 years Cathy Stieg Norris, Son and Daughter-in-Law Ethan and Trina Norris, Grandchildren Wren and Fisher, Brother Lee (Annette) Norris and many in-laws and nieces and nephews.

A celebration of life will be held January 26, 2013. See www.Legacy.com for further details and to leave remembrances. In lieu of � owers, donations can be made to the Richard Norris Native

Anticavity Tip: Water consumption is the most effective way to slow cavity progression in children because of its natural ability to reduce intraoral acidity and cleanse the mouth. How much water is enough? As a general rule, the amount of water your child should consume (ounces) a day is equal to half their total body weight in pounds. Example: 28 pound child

= 14 ounces or 2 cups; 46 pound child = 23 ounces or 3 cups. For more information about how to keep your child’s mouth healthy, visit us online at www.akidsplacedentistry.com

Scholl.The Scholls are having to navigate the bureaucracy of

permits, subcontractor certifications and unexpected obstacles as they go along. On top of that, they still have to pay their mortgage on a house that doesn’t exist anymore.

The Scholls want to be able to live in the neighbor-hood they’ve called home for the past 15 years and not be reminded of the tragedy that befell their family in the exact same structure. They want a new floor plan and a clean environment.

To help them with that endeavor, friends have set up a charity website through www.giveforward.com/bringth-eschollsbackhome.

There was also a benevolent fund set up in Jessica Scholl’s name.

Neither of the parents monitors the growth of the charity fund, as they aren’t really used to receiving support like that.

“We were hoping to not use that money to rebuild our house,” said Stephanie Scholl of the benevolent fund in her daughter’s name. “We wanted to further the cause of this not happening again.”

But the Scholls have been able to do teen domestic violence advocacy work. They had their Renton Police Department advocate, Tina Harris, do a presentation for students at Lindbergh High School, where Jessica was a student.

“We would like to express our gratitude to the Renton Police Department and the Renton community,” said

Stephanie Scholl. “I never in my wildest dreams would have expected the amount of support from everyone.”

For now, the court trial-setting for Lane has been con-tinued to take place in February. The Scholls were told the case would take a year or two to go to trial.

The wait is worth it, says Stephanie Scholl, because they don’t want to end up with an appeal. They want Lane put away forever and to be done with it.

Although this Christmas season has been tough, the Scholls have put up some decorations where they’re living and done some shopping. Both parents are reflective on how much care and support the community has shown them.

“It’s amazing how many neighbors we didn’t know who came out and showed support,” said Doug Scholl.

Stephanie echoes her husband’s senti-ments.

“The lives that she (Jessica) touched in the short time that she was here, it’s really amazing and humbling,” she said. “It’s proven by the outpouring of support.”Tracey Compton can be reached at 425-255-3484, ext. 5052.

First-year Liberty boys basketball coach Omar Parker wasn’t willing to waste a second. The team kicked off the season by practicing at mid-night Nov. 12, then twice more later in the day.

“We wanted to attack this thing the very first second that we could,” Parker said. “By the end of Monday we had three good, hard, short practices. By Tuesday our team could feel like maybe we were ahead of our competition.”

Parker’s top priority is to estab-lish a culture for the program and

turn the expectations around. The Patriots haven’t been bad, the team went 9-11 last season, but it hasn’t been among the league leaders of-ten either. The team has also never been to state.

“We have to build an excite-ment around here,” Parker said. “The team has really embraced that mindset and they’ve embraced a work ethic that has even surprised me a little bit.”

The team’s top returner is senior Tynann Gilmore. Gilmore led the team in scoring and was a second team all-league player last season.

“If he’s not the best returning

player in the KingCo, he’s got to be one of the best,” Parker said of Gilmore.

Another talented returner is 6-foot-5 senior Matt Campbell. Parker said Campbell’s ability to run the floor well means the team can easily play an aggressive fast style.

Other key players are Chase Puglisi, Tim Phan and Di Wang. Puglisi’s versatility – he has good size at 6-foot-4 but can also shoot from outside – will help the team immensely.

“The versatility of Chase and the committee of wing players makes

us dangerous,” Parker said.One weakness at this point is

health. Robbie Thomas and Kel-len Birdsall are both dealing with injuries.

Dayton Mackay and Dalton O’Brien will step in to take some of the load off at the wing posi-tion, while Thomas and Birdsall are injured. Parker said the team is evaluating both players’ injuries week to week.

Parker played and coached at Mercer Island High School. Most recently, he was the director of player development at the Univer-sity of Missouri.

King County’s Solid Waste Division reminds residents that changes in disposal fees go into effect Jan. 1, to help cover rising costs while modernizing a half-century-old solid waste handling system.

The county is in the midst of a modernization program to update its 1960s-era network of transfer stations and meet the needs of residential self-haulers, businesses and garbage collection companies, according to a King County press release.

The basic fee for bringing solid waste to a transfer station or drop box will increase from $117.42 to $129.40 per ton, including tax and a moderate risk waste fee. The minimum fee will increase from $20 to $22, including tax and the moderate risk waste fee.

The new fees will be in effect through 2014.An average residential customer who puts out one can

of garbage per week for curbside collection is likely to see an increase of about 57 cents per month in the garbage bill from their hauler to cover the new disposal fees.

The new rate, which was approved earlier this year by the Metropolitan King County Council, applies to residents of King County who pay for curbside collection service, or who use a county transfer station and live outside the cities of Seattle and Milton, which are part of separate solid waste handling systems.

Fees for separated yard waste and clean wood waste will be lowered from $82.50 per ton to $75 per ton, with a minimum fee of $12 per load. Separated yard waste and clean wood waste is accepted at Shoreline, Bow Lake and Enumclaw transfer stations, and at the Cedar Falls drop box.

While separating these materials from solid waste is not mandatory, the lower fees are meant to act as incentive to deliver yard and clean wood waste separate from solid waste so they can be recycled and composted.

To date, the Vashon, Enumclaw, Shoreline and Bow Lake transfer stations have all been renovated or replaced.

Current plans are to next upgrade the Factoria Transfer

Station. Finally, the Algona, Renton and Houghton transfer stations will be closed and two new stations will be built by 2019.

King County operates eight transfer stations, two rural drop-boxes and the Cedar Hills Regional Landfill. Learn more about the Solid Waste Division at www.kingcounty.gov/solidwaste.
