City might consider pot businesses as taverns for zoning purposesBy Brian BeCkley

[email protected]

The City of Renton is considering treating recreational-marijuana businesses like taverns, in-stead of typical retail stores, and will only permit producers and processors in the city’s “Industrial Heavy” zone.

The city is also considering requiring all pro-ducers to be indoor facilities.

The potential rule changes were presented this past week to the City Council’s Planning and Development Committee as part of an update on the city’s progress on the issue.

Presently in the city of Renton, there is a six-month moratorium on the issuance of marijuana-related business licenses to allow the city time to deal with the issue, particularly zoning of busi-nesses they had never before considered.

The current moratorium is set to expire April 4.Though other cities, such as Kent, have opted

The former Renton City Hall building at 200 Mill Ave. may soon have some new tenants. The City of Renton is in communication with Amazing Grace Christian School of Renton to lease space for its school there.

“Because we have completely outgrown our facil-ity, we are searching for an additional site that serves our expanding student population,” said David-Paul Zimmerman, school administrator. “Last year we added 43 new students and this year we have added 41 students after we lifted a self-imposed enrollment cap that we had in place for the last 10 years.”

Amazing Grace has had a waiting list 15 to 60 stu-dents deep, depending upon the grade level, during that time. They teach preschool through eighth-

graders. Presently they have around 190 students enrolled at the school.

School officials hope to expand their middle school, grades 9 and 10, at the site with approval from the city for a five year lease. The site is attrac-tive, Zimmerman said, because of the amenities within walking distance of the building: an outdoor basketball court, tennis courts, skate park, walking trails and ball fields.

“I think it’s a win-win for both of us,” Zimmer-man said. “The city gets to utilize its property in the area of education and at the same time gets to have revenue coming in.”

Amazing Grace gets about two visits a day from parents interested in sending their kids to the school. Amazing Grace has been at its present location

This week the exhibit “Deep Roots: Students Explore Renton Families” opened at the Renton History Museum. It is a collaboration between the museum and Renton High School students that tells the story of present and historical Renton families.

The idea to use high school contributors started after a project commemo-rating Renton High’s centennial in 2010. That project concluded with con-tributions by students and a relationship developed with the schools’ award-winning ARROW Magazine staff, who contributed essays about what the high school meant to them.

This is Renton High School’s fourth collabora-tion with the Renton His-tory Museum. The museum has also featured collabora-tive exhibits with Renton Technical College, Renton Park Elementary and Dim-mitt Middle School.

“Our partnerships with Renton schools are win-win

projects: the museum gets a unique youth perspective on history, and students have the opportunity to do real-world projects that end up in the museum,” Elizabeth Stewart, museum director said via email.

There are 79 student essays in the exhibit. Each one compares the experi-ences of historic Renton families with the student’s own experiences. The exhibit includes some of Renton’s founding families like that of Henry Moses and Erasmus and Diana Smithers. There are also working families in the ex-hibit like those of carpenter George Custer and coal miner Blaise Telban, as well as entrepreneurial families like the Stokes and Burrows families.

“All had interesting experiences of success and failure, tragedy and joy that students could relate to,” said Stewart.

The student contribu-tors are part of Renton High’s sophomore honors language arts class.

Students researched historical Renton families,

connected their lives to their own and submitted personal family portraits to accompany the histori-cal family portraits. They learned how to compose, draft and edit for audiences outside of their high school.

“Students take away much from the project,” said Derek Smith, Renton High teacher via email. “They learn about the origins of the community in which we live. They learn about using language care-fully and efficiently. They come to understand the meaning of sharing their work with a variety of audi-ences.”

The exhibit runs until May 26 and admission is a suggested donation of $3 for adults, $1 for children and free to children 8 years old and younger and Renton Historical Society members.

The Renton History Mu-seum is located at 235 Mill Ave. S., Renton.

Renton resident J. Paul Blake wants to seize on the enthusiasm brought on by the Seahawks’ Super Bowl victory to create a state sports museum and hall of fame.

Blake created an online petition and is hoping that 10,000 signatures will get him the attention he needs to get it built.

“People love the idea, but of course they say who’s go-ing to pay for it,” Blake said

in a recent interview.He pitched the idea to

all the local professional teams, athletic associations, universities and scholastic groups six years ago to much support, or at least appreciation, of the idea, he said.

“The idea of who’s pay-ing for it is to organize a foundation, which we have,” Blake said. “I’ve developed articles of incorporation, not only for the facility it-self, but for the fundraising arm that hopefully gets the

thing built, with the help of maybe a developer or

somebody who has really deep pockets.”

Blake’s vision for this citizens’ sports center, as

he calls it, is quite exten-sive. He envisions a sports complex or campus on par with the National Colle-giate Athletic Associations’

complex in Indianapolis, Indiana.

“They were very smart,” he said referring to that center. “They basically tried to build a sector of their economy around sports. That’s a good example of not only their attraction, but getting all the events that they can and having the museum there and headquarters.”

Blake feels Washington can cash in on the same type of facility here by creating a sports health,

medicine and administra-tion headquarters around a sports museum. He sees potential profit in also having in-house catering, a restaurant, fitness center and an event venue space all under one sports center.

It’s not a new idea, ac-cording to the Seattle Sports Commission, but one that could gain more traction and renewed interest with the Seahawks’ win.

Renton man kills self in aubuRn afteR

police chase A Renton man killed himself

after leading Washington State Patrol officers on a

chase on State Route 167 early Wednesday morning.

According to the WSP, the 34-year-old man eluded

patrol officers when they tried to pull him over for a

traffic violation at SR 167 and South 180th Street in Renton

at about 12:50 a.m.As the suspect led troopers

down southbound SR 167 into Auburn, a WSP trooper

deployed a spike strip and the driver ran over it,

deflating his tires near 15th Street Northwest in Auburn.

At that point, the suspect suddenly swerved towards the median, hit a guardrail

and came to a stop in the median.

When troopers approached the vehicle they found the

man inside dead from an apparent gunshot wound.


Wrong burden at Tiffany ParkThree things strike me after reading this ar-

ticle (“Housing proposal has neighborhood wor-ried,” Renton Reporter, Feb. 21, 2014), beside the environmental considerations.

The first is covered in the other feature article, “Renton schools to need 42 additional class-rooms.” The neighborhood already feels the impact of full schools. Neighbors have told me that schools have portables out but are maxed. If 98 new homes are added to Tiffany Park, with the average family of parents and two children, that’s an influx of 196 children. How will the district deal with this? Will some children have to be bused out of the neighborhood? I faced that same situation when my daughter was starting school on Renton Hill. She would have ridden the bus an hour and a half each way to get to a school outside our neighborhood.

The second thing is that there’s been a big

study done for the Benson Hill redevelopment with emphasis on parks and trails. This woods has been used as a park by residents for many years. How did that go undiscovered in the com-munity outreach for the Benson redevelopment plan? And why not include the land in Renton’s park and trail system as part of the Benson Hill redevelopment proposal?

Third is traffic, and impacting existing home-owner rights. The middle-income residents of 18th Street have been told that they may lose the right to park in front of their own homes. This is because 18th, the main exit for the new develop-ment, is narrow. Homeowners on one side will not only face tripled street traffic, they may not be able to use street parking.

I think it’s unfair that existing 20-year residents should be less considered than those moving into high-dollar new homes.

Hulk Hogan is returning to the money-making behemoth known by its initials, WWE, and its annual extravaganza of muscle-flexing, WrestleMania.

You could almost hear cheers coming from the Shoreline home of Rep. Cindy Ryu when the announcement came out last week.

Turns out her husband and mother-in-law are “huge fans” of the wrestler whose bulging biceps, long blond hair, bright red bandana and propensity for ripping off his t-shirt fol-lowing victories made him a fixture of the sport in the 1980s.

We learned this about the representative’s spouse when she and other lawmakers consid-ered pleas of wrestlers from the world of lucha libre who say they can’t get a whiff of the fame enjoyed by Hogan because the state’s red tape has them in a chokehold.

Lucha libre is Mexico’s version of profession-al wrestling and arguably the country’s most

popular sport behind soc-cer. It’s gaining attraction in parts of the United States and was even the focus of Jack Black’s comedy, “Nacho Libre.”

But only a handful of competitions are staged in Washington each year and

that’s a problem lawmakers are getting asked to help solve.

State laws regulate professional wrestling, in-cluding lucha libre, just as they do boxing and mixed martial arts. For example, there must be paramedics and an ambulance on site and minimum levels of security personnel.

And there’s a promoter fee of $500, a fee of $25 for each participant and a requirement that a refundable surety bond is posted. Also, the state gets 6 percent of the gross admission receipts, plus $1 per ticket sold. Referees are required and there’s a $25 fee for them too.

But lucha libre isn’t about combat and conquest but acrobatics and entertainment involving folks with unsculpted bodies, cool masks and creative monikers. Promoters don’t have deep pockets.

It’s theatrical and pantomimed violence in which wrestlers are “in cahoots” to entertain, and not hurt one another like in combative sports, said Rep. Zack Hudgins, D-Tukwila.

House Bill 2573 gives the department until Nov. 1 to come up with recommendations for regulating this form of theatrical wrestling.

It sailed through the House and this week was the subject of a hearing by the Senate Commerce and Labor Committee. A few of the masked athletes attended.

Lucha libre promoters testified the existing requirements make it too costly to stage events. One said he turned down an invitation to put on bouts during Seattle’s Bumbershoot fest last year because it would have meant paying the state a percentage of revenue from all sales of festival tickets.

“I’m not sure what level of regulation is needed,” Hudgins said. The bill is “to find out what level, if any, should be put on this activ-ity.”

Taking steps to improve our health is easy to put off: we don’t feel urgency, we don’t see the need, we feel fine right now. But consider that

every 40 seconds, a U.S. citi-zen dies from heart disease, stroke or other cardiovascu-lar disease.

In fact, heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for one in every four deaths nationwide.

With February as Heart Health Awareness Month, it’s a great time to learn about cardiovas-cular health and take steps to improve your risk.

To help my patients be heart smart, I tell them to remember three main things:

1) Know your numbers. Get measured for cholesterol, body mass index (BMI), blood pres-sure and diabetes. Know the healthy ranges and work with your doctor toward a goal.

2) Build a team. Find a doctor who answers all your questions and encourages you to express your concerns. Bring your family and friends on board; they can help you stay healthy. Ask a friend to come to your appointments to ask questions and remember advice.

3) Take care of the machine. Your heart is one

A 34-year-old Tacoma man was charged Wednesday with second-degree murder in the shooting death of a 27-year-old man at his home near Lake Desire.

Bail was set at $1 million this week for Steven M. Mar-shall, who is being held at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. His arraignment is March 10 at the justice center.

Investigators are still searching for other suspects in what prosecutors write in charging documents was the “brutal murder” of Ryan Prince at his home.

Before he died, Prince provided investigators with a key piece of evidence, a photo of the license plate of the getaway car.

Marshall, a convicted felon, also was charged with second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm.

Marshall was arrested in Tacoma at about 8:45 p.m. Feb. 22. Before his arrest, prosecutors write that he tried to conceal and destroy evidence, including the PT Cruiser he owns that was used to drive to Lake Desire. He told acquaintances he was in trouble and planned to flee.

Prince died of multiple gunshot wounds Feb. 17 when he interrupted a burglary at his home on East Lake Desire Drive, according to court documents. He was confronted by several individuals who fired guns at him numerous times. He died at the scene.

Prince shared the home with two other people, including the owner of several medical-marijuana dispensaries in the Seattle area, where Prince and the other resident work.

A neighbor called 911 after hearing gunshots at the home at about 8:21 p.m. and reported all the lights were on in the house. About 15 minutes later, King County Sheriff ’s deputies found the lights off, no one answered the door and nothing appeared amiss, according to court docu-ments. They left.

Prince had deactivated the security system at 8:05 p.m.At about 10:30 p.m. one of the residents returned home,

found the front door unlocked and Prince lying on the

floor of his bedroom in the basement. He was unrespon-sive. She called 911.

The medical examiner determined Prince was shot four times by at least two types of guns. Other injuries sug-gested he had been in a fight.

The house had surveillance cameras, but the DVR at-tached to the cameras had been taken from the closet in the basement. But investigators found Prince’s cell phone. On the cell phone was a photo, taken at 8:10 p.m., that had a closeup of the PT Cruiser’s license, AKY8871.

The car’s registration led investigators to a woman in Tacoma, who told them the car belongs to the father of her child – Marshall, her ex-husband. She had given the car to him.

The night of the murder, detectives interviewed the owner of a medical-marijuana shop in Seattle, who told investigators Marshall is one of his marijuana suppliers, prosecutors write. He met with Marshall, who seemed nervous. Two other men were at the house. Marshall asked for the shop owner’s help to burn the PT Cruiser or dump it in a gulch up north. He declined to help and left.

On Feb. 22, the day Marshall was arrested, sheriff ’s detectives saw Marshall driving a Dodge Durango. He was arrested as he drove into a driveway at a residence on Hosmer Street in Tacoma.

Detectives found a handgun in a backpack and docu-ments. Shell casings matched those found at the crime scene. He had about $5,500 in cash.

Investigators had found a damaged set of Burberry-brand prescription eyeglasses on the porch of the house at Lake Desire. A Facebook post showed Marshall wearing what appear to be identical glasses. He hadn’t worn the glasses after Feb. 17, according to court documents.

Police are asking that anyone with information about the PT Cruiser or crime call the King County Sheriff ’s Office at 206-296-3311 or call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS.

Of course, there’s more to heart health than numbers. I recommend a thorough heart screening to determine your personal risks and uncover underlying heart conditions.

Risks include a family history of heart disease, smoking, physical inactivity, being overweight, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes. Some of these you can’t control, but others you can definitely tackle, especially with the help of your doctor.

In Renton, you can find motivation through the Com-munity Services Department’s “I CANN” initiative (Com-munity Activity and Nutrition Network). It brings together education, leadership and local resources to fight obesity and help citizens work toward good health.

Check out the What’s Happening brochure for a broad range of activities, from basketball and drop-in fitness classes, to dancing, horse shoes, a weight room—even kick ball and dodge ball for adults.

Go to www.rentonwa.gov and click Living and then Rec-reation. Be sure to talk with your physician before starting a new exercise regime.

Heart conditions can affect anyone, from infants to the elderly. Heart disorders that develop before birth (called congenital defects) may affect the size or design of valves in the heart. An irregular heartbeat, or heart arrhythmia, is a condition in which the heart beats too fast, too slowly or irregularly.

All conditions can change over time and should be moni-tored closely by your doctor.

Embrace the purpose of Heart Health Awareness Month. Be sure to maintain regular visits with your primary care doctor. If your risks or symptoms concern you, ask about a heart screening by a cardiologist.Dr. Joshua M. Buckler practices cardiology at Pacific Medical Centers’ Renton, First Hill and Northgate clinics. He is board certified in internal medicine and cardiovascular disease.

The committee faces a deadline of 5 p.m. Friday to pass the bill or it will be set aside for the session.

Department of Licensing officials say the laws on the books are intended to protect both the wrestlers and those attending.

But they are not trying to pin the bill.“We would love an opportunity to look at it,” said Chris-

tine Anthony, DOL spokeswoman.Lucha libre wrestlers hope this will help get them off the

mat and in front of audiences around the state.Political reporter Jerry Cornfield can be reached at at 360-352-8623 or [email protected].

charges filed in ‘brutal murder’

A busy new resident has moved in along the lower Cedar River, prompting the city to take action to protect its trees.

A large beaver or two has made his or her home in the river for the past several years; but according to Renton Urban Forestry and Natural Resource Manager Terry Flatley, this is the first time in quite awhile the animals have moved into the lower portions of the river, but the trees show the damage.

“We’ve seen some really large beavers … chewing on trees,” Flatley said recently. “Once the beaver chews around the tree, they get weak.”

And then they fall over, including one that is presently lying on the side of the river featuring the tell-tale bite marks showing it was felled by a beaver.

Beavers are large rodents that live in water and chew trees for food and to use the logs to build dams and lodges. They are herbivores and no threat to humans.

In response, the city has begun wrapping the bases

of some trees along the lower trail with a metal mesh screen, in the hopes of encouraging the animal to find something else to chew on.

“We’re hoping we can protect these trees,” he said.Other trees along the trail that were deemed “beyond

repair” were removed by city staff to prevent them from potentially falling back toward the trail and the people who use it.

Flatley said the beaver living in the river is about the size of a cocker spaniel and is only a danger to the trees along the river.

“We’re hoping he sees these trees wrapped up and moves on,” Flatley said.

renton relay for life changes event date

The Renton Relay for Life announced this past week that due to a scheduling conflict at Renton Memo-rial Stadium, the group has moved the annual event one week, to July 27-28.

According to an an-nouncement from Relay, the stadium is scheduled for a national track meet on July 21, the original date.

The annual cancer fun-draiser will now begin at 6 p.m. July 27.


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

By DEAN A. RADFORD

[email protected]

The convicted felon drew attention to himself when he switched the price tags from cheap spray paint to expensive spray paint Feb. 15 at Walmart on Rainier Avenue.

In doing so, he saved himself about $9 at the self check-out aisle. Store security officers were also watching him.

But it wasn’t the cheap paint that really got him

into trouble.Still

under surveillance, he walked to McDon-ald’s, where a police officer told

him he was being detained for stealing the paint. He resisted but two officers managed to push him to the counter at the fast-food restaurant.

After the 34-year-old Tukwila man was arrested, the officers searched him. They found:

• A .25 caliber auto Beretta handgun (serial number obliterated) in his jacket pocket, with a round in the chamber and eight in the clip.

• A knife he used to cut open packaging.

• Several small plastic bags and small squares of foil. One bag contained a black-tar substance and two others a crystal-like substance. Experience told the officer the substances were heroin and metham-phetamine, confirmed by field tests.

• Two plastic bags con-taining pills for which he didn’t have a prescription.

• Stolen credit cardsHe was arrested for il-

legal possession of a firearm and for possession of drugs – and for third-degree theft for taking the spray paint.

He was booked into the SCORE regional jail.

The spray paint cost him $8.06. But Walmart re-funded the man the money after getting its spray paint back.

Fedor hurt stopping suspect

Renton Police K9 officer Fedor was injured when ap-prehending a suspect who was running from a stolen car Feb. 15 in southwest Renton.

The Honda was stolen in Kent and led officers on

a pursuit in Kent, Tukwila and Renton at about 10:30 p.m. A Renton Police officer spotted the stolen car on Oakesdale Avenue.

The K9 unit began its track after the Honda ran into a tree on Southwest Grady Way.

After a chase, Fedor grabbed the man by the jeans, pulling them down his legs. However, he wouldn’t release the bite when commanded. The officer then noticed that Fedor had been punched or kicked in the right eye, which was bleeding heavily.

Fedor has returned to duty.The suspect wouldn’t

answer whether he had hit or kicked Fedor. He told the officer Fedor only bit him on the jeans, but the officer later found bruising and scratches on his thigh.

The 25-year-old Seattle man was treated by medics; the Kent Police Department took over the investigation.

Man shot on way to buy diapers

A 54-year-old Renton man walking on Wells Av-enue to Sam’s Club Feb. 14

to buy diapers was shot in his left calf by a pellet gun.

He heard a “pop,” then felt his pants move.

He walked past Sam’s Club to the Police Depart-ment at Renton City Hall next door, where he was cared for by a records specialist, then an officer

before medics arrived.Officers blocked off Wells

Avenue at just after 1:30 p.m. to look for shell cas-ings and blood, but nothing was found. An X-ray at Val-ley Medical Center revealed the pellet, which wasn’t removed.

Seattle Optometrist Helps LEGALLY BLIND to See!

Patient Driving with Bioptic Telescopic Glasses

Just because you have macular degeneration (or other vision-limiting conditions) doesn’t always mean you must give up driving or reading. A Seattle optometrist, Dr. Ross Cusic, is using miniaturized binoculars or telescopes to help people who have lost vision from macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy or other eye conditions. “Our job is to figure out everything and anything possible to keep a person functioning,” says Dr. Cusic. “Whether it’s driving, reading, TV, seeing faces, check writing, bingo or bridge. We work with whatever is on the person’s ‘wish list.’”

With interest-free payment options this technology is now more affordable than ever. “Definitely worth the $2150 cost. I should have come sooner,” said Dr. Cusic’s patient. For more information and a FREE telephone consultation, Call Today: 877-823-2020

Renton, WA 98056

The Renton officer approached the port-a-potty with caution, not knowing whether the man inside was armed.

Minutes before, officers were told, the man hit his former wife in the face while they argued on South Third Street early in the afternoon on Feb. 16.

The Marysville woman called 911 to report the assault; the Seattle man also called 911 to report he didn’t hit her but she hit him. He has a no-contact order to stay away from her.

He wouldn’t divulge his location but the 911 dispatcher traced the man’s cell phone to a port-a-potty at 107 Main Ave. S., according to the Renton Police Department case report.

A responding officer heard the man’s voice inside; appar-ently he was talking on the phone. He couldn’t see the man nor did he know whether he was armed. And he was alone.

He positioned himself about 10 feet from the port-a-pot-ty door and drew his handgun at a low ready. The man was obviously trying to hide from officers: he had just commit-ted a violent crime and there was a warrant for his arrest, according to the report.

The suspect followed the officer’s commands to slowly open the port-a-potty’s door and show his raised hands. The officer holstered his weapon, but got out his Taser, which he kept at the ready.

He sensed the man was about ready to run, so he again ordered him to the ground. He flicked on his Taser and pointed the aiming laser at the man’s feet.

The man sat down. He was read his rights and answered questions in a continuous angry rant. He said his ex-wife was purposefully following him around so he would violate the no-contact order. He admitted to punching her.

Officers spoke with the woman, observing swelling under her eye and a raised bump on her face.

The 33-year-old Seattle man was booked into the King County Jail for investigation of felony violation of a no-contact order and for fourth-degree assault.

Man surrenders peacefully after hiding in port-a-potty

Blood didn’t spill out of the wound until he reached City Hall because it needed time to pool in the wound track.

Teen, man get into bloody fight

A 16-year-old boy and a 30-year-old Renton man went their separate ways after getting into a bloody fight at noon Feb. 14 at the Renton Transit Center downtown.

The fight drew the atten-tion of two plain-clothes Renton Police officers who were inside the office of the Special Enforcement Team at the transit center.

The older man’s ear was bleeding profusely. Because they were in plain clothes,

the officers didn’t have handcuffs or anything else to restrain the teen. One officer retrieved handcuffs from the office, while the other kept the teen under control.

The two officers deter-mined the older man said something to the teen that sparked the fight. Neither wanted to press charges.

The older man was taken to Valley Medical Center; the teen was taken home after his probation officer was contacted.

Trading cards recovered

Hours after he paid $200 to a “powerful drug dealer” for several boxes of Yu-Gi-Oh! game cards, a Kent man tried to sell them Feb. 12 to a card dealer in

Renton.But the owner of the

store on Grady Way became suspicious because the boxes carried the unique labeling of a competing store in Federal Way.

The owner took some of the cards to a back room to price them and another em-ployee spoke with the Kent man. As he was pricing the cards, the store owner got a call from wholesale man-ager for West Coast Playing Cards in Federal Way.

Several complete boxes of Yu-Gi-Oh! cards had been stolen at about 5 a.m. that morning from the store. They were worth about $2,000.

The Renton store man-ager called police. Mean-while, the now suspect told the employee he bought the cards online from an “old

man” for $600. He finally admitted to police he knew the cards were stolen.

A man he described as a “powerful drug dealer” he fears knocked on his door in Kent at about 6 a.m. He wanted $400 for the cards, but the Kent man offered him $200, knowing they were stolen.

The seller told him not to try to resell them at West Coast Playing Cards in Federal Way.

The Kent man was booked into the Regional Justice Center in Kent for investigation of possession of stolen property. Police have a description of the “drug dealer.”

Renton man bitten by dog

A Renton man walking down his driveway to his car was bitten on the arm Feb. 9 by a pit-bull dog.

The man stopped walk-ing when he noticed the brown and white dog run-ning toward him on Fifth Place South on a 20-foot leash.

The dog’s handler got the dog under control.

The dog wasn’t licensed, so the officer gave the owner a license application. The dog now has a record for aggression toward people. Its owner was cited for a leash-law violation.

District fourth- and fifth-grade students are gearing up for the 2014 Battle of the Books competition, a trivia-like game based on the events, characters and other story elements of 16 books selected by school librarians.

Battle of the Books allows students to read great stories and then compete to show their understanding of the books read during library time.

Throughout March, students form to-gether in classroom teams of three or four students, working together as a team to read all 16 books, and discuss the char-acters, events and deeper meaning of the material.

Individual school competitions take place throughout March and the final district battle is held at Hazen High School on April 3.

Kids Design-an-Ad in today’s Renton Reporter is a new advertis-

ing feature. We worked with seven teachers in the

Renton School District to have their stu-dents design ads for businesses in Renton. The goal of this project was very simple. We presented the students with logos and

addresses for the businesses and the kids used their artistic abilities to create an ad in a specific space.

It was fun for me to get a chance to go into the classes and talk to the kids about reading a newspaper and what goes into an ad.

This is a project that we hope to grow next year and have it as a yearly section

Lindbergh swimmer wins two state championships

By Brian BeckLey

[email protected]

Lindbergh swimmer Andrew Franco-Munoz this weekend won two individual state champi-onships in record time and helped power a relay to a third state title at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way.

In addition, the Lindbergh Eagles finished third as a team in the state meet.

Franco-Munoz, who qualified to compete in every individual event at this year’s state cham-pionships, a feat known as swimming’s “Iron

Man,” finished first in both the 50- and 100-yard freestyle events.

In his 50 free, Franco-Munoz finished in 21.17 seconds. The second-place finishers touched the wall at 21.7 seconds.

In the 100-yard freestyle, Franco-Munoz fin-ished at 46.6 seconds, ahead of the second-place finisher’s time of 47.29.

Both times were meet and school records and the fastest ever by a 2A swimmer, according to coach Roger Miron.

The 200-yard freestyle relay was much closer, however, with Lindbergh and Lake Washington finishing in a tie for first-place at 1:30.80. Both teams are considered state champions. The time is also a school record, breaking one set the week before.

Lindbergh’s relay team consisted of James

Buchanan, A.J. Lim, Ben Pogue and Franco-Munoz.

In addition to his relay win, freshman Bu-chanan also finished second in the 200-yard in-dividual medley and third in the 100 backstroke.

Lim also placed sixth in the 100 breaststroke and 11th in the 100 butterfly.

Diver Derek Anderson also finished in eighth-place for the Eagles.

“This was a very special season,” Miron said in an email. “I would say with winning the Seamount League Championship and the West Central District Championship, plus a third place trophy at State, this is the best team I’ve coached in the 19 years I’ve been coaching Lindbergh.”

200-yard freestyle relay ties for championship; team finishes in third place at state meet

For the fourth year in a row Hazen gymnastics Team received the “Sports-manship Award” and their coach Laci Molnar was named Coach of the Year.

Two Hazen wrestlers make the podium at Mat Classic XXVIHazen Senior Malik Haythorne

finished second in his weight class this weekend at Mat Classic XXVI in Tacoma, becoming the school’s second-ever state finalist in wres-tling.

Freshman Raven Svenson also earned a seventh-place finish in her weight class to earn the Highland-ers two spots on the podium this weekend.

Haythorne wrestled in the boys 152-pound division while Svensen wrestled in the girls 155-pound division.

Both wrestlers wrestled an out-standing tournament, according to coach Rory Magana.

Haythorne wrestled tough in his first match against Christian Ara-gon from Decatur. He built a lead throughout the match, and earned a fall at the end of the third round on an attempted throw.

In the quarterfinals, Haythorne pulled out a tough win with a takedown in overtime against Bain-bridge’s Dylan Read making him Hazen’s first state placer since 2003.

In the semifinals, Malik pulled out a huge upset by defeating No. 2 ranked Cody Kiourkas 12-7. The match was more dominant than the score showed, according to Magana who said Haythorne was “on fire that match.”

In the finals, however, he fell short after he was caught with a cradle and pinned by Hudson’s Bay Gunnar Metzgar. At that point in the match he was only down 4-2.

“He wrestled a tough match and a great tournament and made his-tory for a program that has had a rough history,” Magana said in an email.

Svenson took seventh in the girls tournament after losing her first

match and then rallying back to win two. On Day 2 Svensen lost her first match, and received an injury default to take seventh place.

“Raven battled hard to become a state placer as a freshman,” Magana said. “She will be a strong force over the next three years.”

Lindbergh, Renton wrestlers place at state tournament

Wrestlers from Lindbergh and Renton High schools competed this past weekend in the 2A Mat Classic XXVI state tournament, with several earning spots on the podium.

Trevonn Russell placed the highest for the Eagles, making his way to the championship bout in the 195-pound weight class before falling. Russell’s efforts earned him a second-place finish.

For Renton, the pair of Volodimir Kalinin and Kahlie Crowl, who faced off against each other for the 152-pound district championship the prior weekend (won by Kalinin), each made their way through the ranks at the Tacoma Dome.

Ultimately, Kalinin finished fourth and Crowl in sixth place. Lindbergh’s Trevonn Russell celebrates his semi-final victory, left, while Renton’s Volodimir kalinin takes on Brent evans from toppenish to a fourth-place finish. Vicki Maddy, For the Reporter

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

Renton Rotary’s Teacher of the Month

Jill Poffenroth Susan LaVigne Bill Tobias

A new email phishing scam making the rounds nationwide has hit Washington state, and this one is disguised as a utility bill.

Washington consumers have reported receiving emails that appear to be statements from a legitimate utility company, notifying the recipient that their bill is “due upon receipt” or “past due.”

The email message provides a link to “view your most recent bill,” but clicking on the link will instead prompt the download of malware, which will infect your com-puter.

Malware is software used to disrupt computer opera-tion and gather sensitive information.

According to the Attorney General’s consumer experts, these fraudulent messages are just another variation of the common phishing scams — emails that look like they originate from a legitimate company, but are actually designed to obtain personal information or direct you to a website that downloads malware.

While phishing scams come in many different forms, the defense is always the same: Delete these emails and do not click on any links in them or open any attach-ments.

The Attorney General’s Office offers the following tips to avoid being scammed:

• Never give out personal or financial information to anyone who emails or calls you.

• Hover over the reply address or links in the message (without clicking) to see if it includes your utility provid-ers’ company and domain name.

• If you are concerned about the notice or the status of your account, contact your utility company directly for assistance, using a number you know to be legitimate.

For additional internet safety tips, advice and informa-tion visit the Attorney General’s website at www.atg.wa.gov/InternetSafety.aspx.

New email scam making the rounds in Washington


Sports Commission, thinks the museum is a good idea.“Sports is part of our culture in the region and certainly

something that should be celebrated,” he said via email. “The Seattle Sports Commission annually produces the MTR Western Sports Star of the Year, which is a night to honor our current and past sports legends. It certainly would be great to have a place where this history can live, from the Huskies, hydroplane racing, Seahawks, Storm and other great sports entities in the region.”

The commission has considered the concept of a sports museum before, investigating a stand-alone organization to incorporating it into an existing entity, to creating a walk of fame in the stadium district.

“It is certainly something our organization would love to see, but would require significant funding sources to make it happen,” Morton said.

Blake has researched other hall of fame centers and believes the project could be helped with seed money from the state Legislature and a champion there. The sports museum could offer the state another stream of revenue as a tourist attraction, he said.

“You’d want to make it a very interactive dynamic venue, something that people will be excited about going to, not just a bunch of staid exhibits,” Blake said.

He sees kids’ exhibits where they can demonstrate their skill at a sport or pretend to be sportscasters. Blake is also an avid collector of sports and historical memorabilia. He’s

hoping that once momentum behind the idea builds, oth-ers will step forward and want to donate pieces of the state’s sports history. High profile items like the Lombardi Trophy, he’d like to see on loan for periods of time at the complex.

As of Tuesday, Blake’s online petition had just 36 signa-tures after being live for a couple of weeks.

Blake’s next steps are to seek legal advice for the plan he’s already crafted for the center. He wants the project to be the undertaking of a steering committee and not just the vision of one person. He’s launched similar petitions in his home state of New Jersey, so is confident the public display of interest will start the ball rolling. Blake’s encountered a lot of people who’ve heard of his idea or read about it in his recent Seattle Times’ editorial, but not many people who follow through and sign the petition.

“It’d be awesome,” Blake said. “There’d be nothing like it, totally unique.”

Parents of minor children may be tempted to name the children as beneficiary of a qualified plan like an I.R.A. or a 401k plan. But until the children attain age 18, the account will be held in a guardianship making it difficult to provide for their needs. It is best to designate as beneficiary a trust for the benefit of the children as established in the parents’ Will.

For children of legal age, the children can be designated as beneficiary so they can “roll-over” to a “stretch I.R.A.” and be able to recognize the income tax over their life expectancy.

Check the designated beneficiaries on your qualified plans to be certain that your intentions will be fulfilled.

in Renton’s Skyway neighborhood since 1972. If plans go through for the ad-ditional space at 200 Mill, a maximum of 20 students would be added and the school would occupy the space starting Aug. 1, opening September 2014.

Whether or not the school completely vacates the space will also depend on another interested party in their current location. School administration has been approached by a California company interested in leasing their present lo-cation for a new charter high school. A real estate broker visited Amazing Grace a few weeks ago and they were given a three week time period to decide.

Forty percent of Amazing Grace’s student population comes from Renton and Zimmerman said the school is not what you’d expect of a private Christian academy.

“One of the things that sets us a part, as you can see, it’s a pretty diverse school,” he said. “This is not a middle-class, Caucasian school of wealthy families, which I have nothing against.”

Tuition is close to $6,000 a year and a good portion of the children are said to come from first and second generation immigrants living in the community.

“It’s very exciting…how they educate the kids and the success that they have is pretty remarkable,” said Peter Renner, City of Renton facilities director.

There has been flurries of potential activity with different groups coming and going, looking at floors in 200 Mill. Presently two-thirds of the building is vacant.

Communities in Schools of Renton, the King County Sexual Assault Resource Center, the Renton Police Department, the City of Renton Attorney’s Office and First Rate Mortgage all occupy space in the building.

Based on local reports, Renner said, the vacancy rate for Class B office space hasn’t been going down very fast and it might be optimistic to think that the building will fill up anytime soon. There should be improvements overall in the market based on those same reports, he said.

“The city positions itself where we’re making sure all of our leases are market rate for two reasons,” Renner said.

The reasons are so the public knows they’re getting the best return and the city doesn’t want to undercut the commercial real estate rate, he said.

Zimmerman met with Renner and other officials about a week ago to discuss issues like the temporary location of the downtown library at the site and the potential to expand the school within the building.

“In many ways it is an ideal setting and opens our school to a huge population of students that we cannot serve at our present site,” said Zimmerman.

to try and ban the businesses - a decision recently support-ed by a state Attorney General decision - councilmembers in Renton have decided that the voters have spoken and to move forward on implemen-tation.

The current crop of pro-posed regulations are pres-ently being developed by the city’s Planning Commission and will be presented to the full council for approval this spring. But this past week, Senior Planner Angie Mathias gave the council’s planning committee a look at the work thus far.

The first recommendation is to permit marijuana pro-ducers and processors in the Heavy Industrial zone, which is designed for processing raw material that have externali-ties, such as odor and noise that pose potential hazards to public safety or health.

Mathias said it was “reason-able” to assume that the same party might get a producer and processor license as a way

to get around a 25 percent tax on sale between the two. Mathias also said because the processing of marijuana often involves solvents and gases that typically produce an odor, the businesses are “most similar to an industrial

or manufacturing use.”The city will also require

producers be indoors.The other major change

to code will be to consider marijuana uses to be similar to taverns and allowed in the same zones.

Mathias said there are “strong comparisons” be-tween the two, such as having to be 21 or older to enter and that they must register with the state Liquor Control Board. The main difference, however, is that no consump-tion is allowed on site of

marijuana retailers.“When we have a new land

use that we have not classified before, we try to find some-thing that it closely matches and then use that as a guide,” Mathias said in a follow-up email. “That is what we have done with taverns and mari-juana retail.”

The effect of the classifica-tion of marijuana retail as similar to taverns will reduce the number of zones available to marijuana shops from 13 to six within the city.

Mathias said the main concerns from the Planning Commission revolve around protecting neighborhoods.

“This isn’t a land use we have any experience with,” Mathias told the committee.

The Planning Commis-sion will continue to move forward on their rules with the goal of bringing them final recommendations to the council this month, prior to the ending of the city’s moratorium.
