One young Renton mom was treated to a break from the rigors of her kidney disease to attend the 15th annual Renal Teen Prom in Southern California
Chelsea Brazier, 22, was chosen to attend the special prom for young dialysis patients last weekend. Northwest Kidney Centers, where Brazier receives treatment, funded her trip.
It was a night of glamour and excitement put on by the Renal Support Network, based in Glendale, Calif. There were make-up and picture stations for prom attendees, dancing, food and celebrities.
Last year Jack Black and Kyle Gass of Tenacious D attended the prom. This year
actor Quinton Aaron of “The Blind Side” was among other stars at the event.
“The fun was getting dressed up and get-ting to feel like my kidney disease doesn’t stop me from having a good time,” said Brazier this week. “I should be able to have a life like this that is what this did. It showed me that I can have a life and be sick at the same time.”
With her cousin Leanna Davis in tow, Bra-zier mingled with other dialysis patients and celebrities and mugged for cameras.
Brazier was diagnosed with kidney disease five years ago and must receive dialysis treatments until she gets a kidney transplant. Brazier spends four hours every other day getting dialysis, so the trip to California was a fun, nice and a great experience, she said.

For 20 years students at Talbot Hill Elementary have been participating in their own mini adult world, called MicroSociety.
Started in 1993, the program has taught many kindergarten through fifth grade students life skills, creating a mini-society of student-run businesses, nonprofits and agencies. School staff is now assessing the influence of MicroSo-ciety on its many graduates in the hopes of increasing funding for the program.
Talbot’s MicroSociety is the only one in the state, although there have been others, according to staff. It is largely supported by private funds, with little district support.
“It’s not about did they
get higher scores on their test scores that one day that you take a test,” said Sally Boni, Talbot’s MicroSociety coordinator.
The data the school hopes to collect from graduates is more compre-hensive than just test scores, Boni explains.
“Everybody is successful in Micro,” she said. “That is the time of day when ev-erybody can figure out how to make it work for them - what job they should take on, how they can be involved.”
The program has changed in some areas over the years, with greater effort to hone-in on what students retain.
“I think one of the ways it’s evolved now is that we’ve really tried to make it not just about student empow-
erment, but very intentional that students understand how it’s connected to their learning.”
Students have their own Talbot Hill Board of Educa-tion, made up of fourth- and fifth-graders, who interview class representa-tives. The student repre-sentatives report on the academic standards they learned in MicroSociety, the lessons learned and how they used their knowledge.
Fifth-grader Nico Mc-Millan has been a crafter, small business employee, bank manager, senator, vice president and he’s now president of Talbot’s Micro-Society. He likes the lessons students learn in the class-room and get to use in their student-run businesses and agencies, he said.
“I’m very excited every single day to work on the technology that I do and teach the younger kids,” McMillan said.
Outside of his student body position, McMil-lan works as a technology manager in MicroSociety teaching students about Microsoft Office.
On Jan. 13, Talbot Hill students held their inaugu-ration for their new student government leaders, includ-ing McMillan, complete with an official swearing in of officers by Judge Robert McBeth. McBeth is a for-mer King County District Court judge, who has also been involved with the program since its inception. McBeth has helped students create their own court and trained them to be judges, prosecutors and police of-ficers for MicroSociety.
“I think it teaches kids how to function in real life so they learn that there are laws that govern their activities each day,” McBeth said.
Real-world applications
are incorporated into the curriculum and have trans-lated into higher academic achievement the school reports. In a spring 2002 as-sessment, 90 percent of the students surveyed said they understood demographic principals and used them in problem-solving. Of Talbot Hill students, who attend the school for three years or more, 80 percent said they used math or reading in their MicroSociety activities and 87 percent recognized the value of writing skills.
“In reality we shouldn’t be teaching anything that a kid’s not going to use some-day,” said Boni. “Who has time for that? Everything that we learn should have some sort of application in your life; so that’s what we’re doing.”
Boni and school staff hope that collecting more longitudinal data on the success of the program from graduates will help
secure more funding for the program, which is pricey. It costs between $40,000 to $50,000 to fund MicroSo-ciety a year, said Boni.
Members of the Talbot Hill Educational Trust Fund, a nonprofit, raise funds for the program. Donations come from businesses such as Boeing, the United Way and private donors. Funds cover ma-terials, field trips, supplies, staff development and one staffer, who does data track-ing and logistics.
Staff hopes MicroSociety receives more funding from the district in the future, as
the value of the program is realized. They also hope to tap into community resources, as fundraising is a constant effort.
Because MicroSociety requires teachers to create their own curriculum for lessons that are out-of-the-box and adapt it for multiple grade-levels, the program takes extra atten-tion as well as funds.
“I”m sure our staff would say it’d be much easier if we didn’t do (MicroSociety),” said Boni. “But our staff gets it, how important it is for the kids. And if you talk to the kids they get it.”

Renton Technical Col-lege has slowly but steadily established and built out a student government since 2011 and is adding student clubs to the mix for the first time this year.
Establishing a student government and resources for student activities is so important that students voted to increase their services and activities fees last year. Fees went from $60 per quarter for full-time students to $155 per
quarter and creates a pool of money designated for student body use.
The funds have been used this year to support a student-run tutoring cen-ter and to support veterans’ outreach on campus.
“This is giving them a good opportunity to create something that is impor-tant to them and empower them and give them a budget that they can work with,” said Abigail Vidals about the fee increase.
She is the student vice president of student suc-cess, part of the school’s
associated student govern-ment. When she started at RTC, Vidals said she felt lost without a student government and clubs, disconnected from student life.
“I was like sure you got administration, where you can register. But where’s the kind of extracurricular activities that you like to see?” she said.
A student government was formed at Renton Technical College in 2011 at the request of Steve Hanson, the college’s president. The school is the last of the 34 technical and community colleges in the state to have a student government.
“An active and commit-ted student government makes an enormous con-
tribution to the vitality of the campus,” said Hanson, in an email. “It provides numerous opportunities to engage in leadership activi-
ties, cultural experiences, and social events that en-rich the lives of students at Renton Technical College.”
RTC’s current student executive officers are as diverse as the students on campus. The youngest of-ficer is 20 and the eldest 53.
“I wanted to become
involved and educate other students around here that this is their money to use to further their own educa-tion,” said Robert Taylor, 53.
He is the current student government president. Taylor’s working on a career in the culinary field and was encouraged to become a student govern-ment leader by a friend. He started attending meet-ing and was motivated to get involved after he heard about the potential resources students could have with the services and activities fees.
In addition to that re-source, students have also voted to allocate money to a textbook access program
and to the emergency fund to help students in finan-cial crisis.
“It’s another support,” said Phuc Pham about adding the student govern-ment layer to campus.
He is a student senator and club specialist. He calls his fellow officers like a family and a motivation for coming to school beyond just wanting to go to class and get the homework.
“It’s someone you can talk to when you’re having problems,” he said. “It’s just another life support when you think about it.”

“An active and committed student government makes an enormous contribution to the vitality of the campus.” Steve Hanson
Occupancy at The Landing is presently at more than 90 percent.
Renton Administrative Services Administrator Iwen Wang said the Excise tax money headed for the city can only be used for capital projects or debt service under state law, but the money will certainly help.
“We budgeted for $2.1 million so this definitely is a healthy increase to our budget,” she said.
Wang also said the city believes the new buyer, known for buying and maintaining quality shopping center prop-erties throughout the country, will be a good thing for the city.
“We think it will be positive to the whole Landing area,” she said.

On Jan. 11, a 71-year-old Renton man drove to the downtown library span-ning the Cedar River. But he arrived about a half hour before the library was to open.
So he decided to walk back to his car. He didn’t get far.
Approaching him was man in his late teens, with a goatee and a flat-top haircut. He was wearing camouflaged pants.
He demanded the elderly man’s Seahawks shirt emblazoned with the name Hasselbeck. But the 71-year-old wasn’t going to be a victim this day. He punched and kicked as the heavy-set man tried to strip the shirt off him.
But the assault contin-ued. The elderly man swung his cane but missed his attacker, who grabbed him by the shoulders and threw him to the ground.
He scraped his left elbow and knee in the fall, causing him pain.
His attacker fled from the library and into Liberty Park. The elderly man went home and called Renton Police to make his report.
He was still wearing his Seahawks jersey.
71-year-old Seahawks fan fights off attack, hangs on to jersey
All Renton, all the time.

I should probably start this column by clear-ing the decks in the form of full disclosure: As an import to the Pacific Northwest, I am not a true, dyed-in-the-wool Seahawks fan.
It’s true. My sports affiliations lie with the City of Brotherly Love, as Philadelphia was my home when those connections were made, sitting with my grandfather and watching the Phillies all summer and the Eagles in the fall.
There was a time in the 1980s, however, when the Eagles were just terrible and no fun to root for among the sea of Giants fans in which I lived (it was the Bill Parcels, Phil Simms years and the G-Men were every bit as good as the Eagles weren’t).
At that time, I started rooting for the Seahawks, who under Chuck Knox were the single most fun team to watch on Sundays. I distinctly remember that team faking field goals and punts, running trick plays like the hook and ladders or Statue of Liberty.
Though the Iggles remained my main team.That said, I am 100 percent rooting for the
Seahawks this year. Holy cow, what an excit-ing team. I have been out here for more than 10 years now and while most Seattle fans are fairweather at best, Seahawks fans have been dedicated and LOUD every year, good, bad or indiffer-ent.
This area loves its football team, especially this team, this year. And how could you not? I got on this bandwagon back in August and though I would never consider myself a “12th Man,” I have been loudly and proudly touting this team to all of my East Coast friends. And, like you, I spent Sunday afternoon pacing around my living room fever-ishly rubbing my hands together and yelling at my television when it was necessary.
Also like you, when Richard Sherman tipped the ball away from Michael Crabtree and into the waiting hands of Malcolm Smith (just like they drew it up!), I yelled in relief and jumped up and down in celebration.
I love Richard Sherman. He’s the best in his position and not only did San Francisco know it (they didn’t throw in his direction all day), he proved it when on the only pass going his way, he launched himself into the air and made a game-saving tip, punching the 12th Man’s ticket to football’s promised land.
Or, at least in this case, New Jersey.Then came the now world-famous Sherman
“rant” with sideline “reporter” Erin Andrews in which Sherman proclaimed himself the best and the receiver he just beat “mediocre,” adding “Don’t talk about me!”
Again, I love that guy. I loved the interview. I love the energy. I loved that it wasn’t the stan-dard cliches.
But then I was also not surprised when a whole bunch of people freaked out.
However, the vitriol aimed at Sherman this week has been ridiculous and stupid. The man had literally just made a play that sent his team to the pinnacle of their sport, besting a receiver with whom he has had issues in the past.
THEN, and this is what they didn’t show
We live in a country rich in the spirit of generosity. From our churches to our charities, Americans work hard to make life better for those in need.
I see it every day in the Renton area. From the multitude of people who volunteer their time, to those who make cash contributions, to those who choose careers in a helping profession and provide frontline services.
Because of them, people in need can pick up fresh food in our food banks, receive life-saving prescriptions from a free clinic, get clean clothes for school, find safe housing, receive necessary training to get a job, access drug and alcohol treatment, enjoy the arts, learn to be indepen-dent, graduate high school, go to college, get counseling, and so much more.
As the executive director of the Renton Com-munity Foundation, I work closely with the philan-thropic community. What I see is both inspiring and heartening.
We have organizations working to support almost every aspect of humanity. From the Salvation Army
and St. Vincent de Paul that help people put food on the table, to the Way Back Inn and Vision House that help transition the home-less to safe places to live, to emerging groups like Birthday Dreams that provide birthdays for children who would otherwise watch that special day pass by without recognition.
It is said that to be truly generous, a person must give regardless of what they get in return. I can attest to the fact that people didn’t choose to work in the nonprofit hoping to make money – quite the contrary. Their passion is to help someone in need, and that passion is palpable; you have but to talk with them to catch the “buzz.”
But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t big benefits for working in the field of philanthropy, because even simple acts of generosity are good
for you. They build up a person’s confidence, instill a positive attitude, deepen relationships, and generally make you feel good.
Yes, it feels good when you help a woman get off food stamps or find the transportation she needs to get to a job interview. It feels good to give a struggling child the tools he needs to stay in school and graduate. It feels good to know that because of your efforts, a family will sleep safe and dry for one more night. It even feels good to help a senior living on a fixed income pay for the emergency pet care needed to save the only companion he or she might have in the world.
The depth and breadth of the philanthropic efforts in Renton are extensive, and the spirit of generosity is strong. We are people who care – and care a lot.
We may joke about the lack of sunshine here in the Northwest, but the sun shines nonethe-less on our philanthropic community. And on Wednesday, Jan. 29, the Renton Community Foundation hopes to shine a spotlight on it.
The foundation will celebrate its “14th An-nual Circle of Giving Awards Ceremony” at the Renton Senior Activity Center. The event is free and open to the public and festivities begin at 5 p.m.
The theme this year is, “How Sweet to Give.” More than $35,000 in grants will be awarded to support a variety of causes, and we’ll celebrate the great work done by so many of our non-profit organizations.
The Dalai Lama said that, “Generosity is the most natural outward expression of an inner attitude of compassion and loving-kindness.”
Please join us as we celebrate the compassion and loving-kindness that is alive and well in Renton.
Lynn Bohart is the executive director of the Renton Community Foundation that oversees a number of funds that provide support to those in need in Renton. She can be reached at [email protected].

on television, he patted the receiver on the butt and stuck out his hand, saying “Good game.”
That’s when Michael Crabtree pushed Richard Sherman right in the facemask. You can watch it. There’s gifs of it, there’s video, there’s photos. Google it. It’s a fact.
At that point, by Sherman’s own admis-sion, he “went off ” and threw a “choke” sig-nal at the San Francisco quarterback, who, let’s be honest, choked, and was promptly hit with a taunting penalty.
Thirty seconds later, he was talking to Erin Andrews and the instant punditry of Twitter and Facebook lit up with the n-word and, as captured so perfectly in that headphones commercial they played dur-ing the game, the word “thug.”
And I laughed and laughed and laughed.
See, I had a chance to meet Richard Sherman earlier this year at an event at Foster High School in Tukwila. Sherman was a surprise guest at the school’s home-coming pep rally and arrived bearing brand new cleats for
every member of the relatively poor high school’s football team.
He talked to the kids, judged a dance contest, and then headed over to a second event at the school, put on by his Blanket Coverage Foundation.
At the event, Sherman and his founda-tion provided about 100 kids with back-packs filled with school supplies and other things, like socks. But Sherman, who grew up in poverty in Compton, was quick to
say it was not “charity” but an “investment” in the kids, all of whom he made sign a contract to get a backpack.
The contract states that every kid who got a backpack has to keep their grades up and stay out of trouble. If they do, they get another pack full of supplies next year.
In between events, I had an opportu-nity to talk to Sherman. I found him to be friendly, intelligent, well-spoken and truly dedicated to helping kids get out of poverty.
Richard Sherman was his high school salutatorian and went on the graduate from
Stanford with a degree in communications. The man is very smart, very driven and very personable.
Like a lot of people, I had a preconceived notion of Sherman based on his antics on the field and around game time. But I have to say, I was instantly made a fan and I real-ized that the persona of Richard Sherman on the field and the actual person Richard Sherman off the field were somewhat dif-ferent guys.
The country will realize that this week too. Richard Sherman is great for Seattle and great for the game of football.
If he wants to go on TV and proclaim himself better than some other dude after making a play that kind of proves it, I am all for it.
And I can’t wait to watch him prove it again against Peyton Manning.
Go Hawks.

Nancy Lynn Woodley Hoben, longtime resident of Renton and Auburn, and retired school teacher, passed away Saturday, January 11, 2014 at Auburn Regional Medical Center of complications following cardiac arrest. Nancy was 77 years old.
Born April 1, 1936 in El Paso, Texas to Arthur Hal Woodley and Dorothy Plumbley Woodley, Nancy was one of five children and the eldest of three daughters. Nancy grew up in the El Paso area, graduating from Ysleta High School in 1954.
In the spring of 1956, Nancy met Ken Hoben, a young soldier stationed at nearby Fort Bliss, beginning a love affair that would last throughout their lifetimes. The two were married later that year, and together they pursued both education and adventure throughout the United States. Nancy graduated from Texas Western College (now the University of Texas - El Paso) in 1957, and received her Master of Education degree from UTEP in 1965. The couple lived in El Paso; Wellesley, Massachusetts; Las Cruces, New Mexico; and Eugene, Oregon, before settling in the Puget Sound region in 1972.
Nancy began teaching public school in El Paso, and also taught in Wellesley and Las Cruces, before taking a position with the Kent School District in 1973. Throughout her career she primarily taught first grade, with teaching assignments at Park Orchard Elementary, Spring Glen Elementary, and Ridgewood Elementary schools, receiving both an Outstanding Service Award from the Kent PTA Council, and the Teacher of the Year Award from the Kent School District. She retired in 1996, having taught more than 1,000 children to read during the course of her teaching career.
Throughout her life, Nancy was actively involved in
organizations focused on enhancing the quality of her community. The Boy Scouts of America awarded Nancy the Silver Beaver Award in 1981 for outstanding volunteer service. Nancy was active in Allied Arts of Renton, the Renton Annual Art Show, Piazza Renton, and the Renton Farmers Market. She received Renton’s Outstanding Citizen recognition in 2002 for service to the community, and was awarded the Renton Municipal Arts Commission Bravo Award in 2006 for her support of the arts in Renton.
As a committed follower of Christ, Nancy was active in church communities throughout her lifetime, most recently at Fairwood United Methodist Church in Renton, Renton First United Methodist Church, and Auburn First United Methodist Church.
Nancy enjoyed reading, cooking, traveling, and listening to Dixieland Jazz, and treasured the company of her family and friends.
Nancy is survived by her loving husband of 57 years, Ken Hoben; her sister, Sally Jones of Bryan, Texas; her son and daughter-in-law, Mark and MaryAnne Hoben of Maple Valley, Washington; her daughter and son-in-law, Jennifer and Charles Russo of Auburn, Washington; her three dear grandchildren, Austin, Jack and Tyler; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
Memorial services will be held February 8, 2014 at 1 pm at Auburn First United Methodist Church, 100 N St. SE, Auburn, Washington. In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to Wesley Homes Foundation, Lea Hill Capital Fund, in support of a health clinic being built to support residents and the neighboring community. Remembrances can also be made to the charity of your choice.

Through foundation, Sherman helping local kids succeed
Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman is surrounded by Foster High School students in Tukwila at a pep rally in October before the school’s homecoming game. Afterward, Sherman met with students to give them backpacks filled with school supplies, which he told them was an investment in them. BriAn Beckley, Renton Reporter

The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.
By DEAN A. RADFORD
A Renton woman needed the help of the Port of Seattle bomb squad to go through her grandfather’s memorabilia.
She called Renton Police on Jan. 15 after finding a grenade while cleaning out her grandfather’s apartment in the Houser Ter-race apartments. The grenade was in a box; its pin was still in place. The question: Was it live?
After looking at the grenade, the responding officer decided to call in the bomb squad, which determined the gre-nade was no longer live and removed it.
Her grandfather served during World War II.
Robbery suspect turns self inA robbery suspect called police to turn
himself in Jan. 12 even before his attempt to rob Walgreens on Rainier Avenue South was reported.
A responding officer asked dispatchers to call Walgreens to confirm a robbery had occurred.
The suspect, a 46-year-old Renton man, demanded money from a store clerk, who refused, thinking that maybe the request
was a joke.The suspect then
pulled something out of his pocket, which was black and square, which the suspect said looked like the butt of an officer’s gun.
The suspect de-manded money again,
but looking upset, walked from the store. The clerk reported the robbery attempt
to his manager, who hadn’t yet called 911 because she was trying to locate video of the robbery attempt.
Officers arrested the suspect at a nearby motel on Rainier Avenue. He was booked into the King County Jail in Seattle for investigation of felony robbery.
The police report didn’t give a reason why the man surrendered on his own.
The black object he implied was a weapon was his cell-phone charger.
Stolen purse has RugerA purse containing a Ruger 9mm semi-
automatic handgun was stolen from a van Jan. 15 while the owner was at her yoga workout on Carr Road.
The Renton woman had left her Coach purse on the front seat. Inside the purse were the gun, a Gucci wallet, a cell phone, debit and credit cards and her drivers license.
She found inside her minivan a green and brown cloth handbag that didn’t belong to her but had been reported stolen just shortly before in a car prowl in the same parking lot.
The loss was estimated at about $1,100.The thieves broke the front-door glass to
get inside the minivan.
No mistaking the odorThe odor of beer emanating from a
52-year-old Seattle man’s clothing was overwhelming Jan. 13 as he sat directly be-hind the driver’s seat of a Metro bus parked at the Metro Transit Station downtown.
The man had changed his clothes on the bus and was asleep. Officers saw the man pull up his pants; he wasn’t wearing any shoes.
Officers told him the bus driver didn’t want him on the bus any longer and he agreed to leave once he was fully clothed. He showed officers his identification. He got off the bus and sat down on a bay bench. Waiting customers got on the bus.
About 15 minutes later, the man stood up, unzipped his pants and urinated at the bus stop in full view. He then waved at the officer, who had been watching him from about 10 feet away in his cruiser.
He was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of breach of peace.
Internet gun deal fraudulentA Renton man trying to buy a gun over
the Internet lost $1,273 in the deal.The man found the gun, an FN 5.7 semi-
automatic pistol, on the website, armslist.com.
Over the course of several emails, he agreed to buy the gun with a bank check from a woman in Skiatook, Okla. The check was cashed but he didn’t receive the gun.
Detectives in Skiatook interviewed the woman, who admitted she cashed the check. Armslist.com also told him via email that the ad was fraudulent.
She needed money for sonA 41-year-old Graham woman told
officers she took more than $600 worth of merchandise from Fred Meyer Jan. 7 be-cause she’s unemployed and her son needed
clothes.She was detained by store security after
she pushed a shopping cart filled with the merchandise out the door without paying for it.
While searching her, a police officer found a small metal tin in her pocket. In-side were small baggies, some of which had trace amounts of what tested to be meth-amphetamine. She also had meth concealed on her body.
She also had credit cards and other personal documents belonging to other people.
She was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of drug possession.
Deaf man robbed of cellA 39-year-old deaf man was robbed of
his iPhone the afternoon of Jan. 8 as he walked along Lake Avenue South.
The Renton man told officers a man got out of a sedan and took the phone. He wasn’t threatened and no weapons were seen or implied.
The man and officer communicated by pen and paper. He gave the officer a brief description of the robber.
Teen’s phone stolenA male in his late teens or early 20s
grabbed a teenage boy from behind and stole his cell phone Jan. 10 as he was walk-ing home.
The 14-year-old was texting when he was grabbed around his neck. The robber took the phone with his other hand.
The teen ran for about 75 yards before looking back; the suspect was gone. But during the robbery he got a quick glance at the robber.
Counterfeit money in yardA Renton woman on Jan. 9 found a sheet
of counterfeit money in her front yard on Southeast 167th Street.
On the sheet were half-printed $20 and $10 bills.
She turned over the sheet to an officer.
Victim to keep mumAn 18-year-old Seattle man was robbed
of his wallet with $100 inside the evening of Jan. 9 while standing near Renton High School.
The victim told officers he was standing next to a friend’s car when a Crown Victo-ria pulled up with three men inside.
One of the men grabbed him by the neck and pulled him the ground. Someone then stole his wallet.
The victim gave a brief description, but refused to cooperate with officers further, including refusing to testify in court against anyone. He declined to write a statement.
His friend said he might be able to iden-tify the suspects but changed his mind after talking with the victim. He didn’t want to write a statement either.

...Go Seahawks
By John Boyle
When Seattle Seahawks tight end Zach Miller got a phone call from a friend and former college teammate, he didn’t think much about
the simple act of signing a football and some Seahawks merchandise and sticking them in the mail.
The call came from Cincinnati Bengals guard Mike Pol-lak, who played with Miller at Arizona State. Pollak had heard from his wife about Dave and Kristina Quick, Sea-hawks fans in Brier with newborn twins, one of whom was at Seattle Children’s Hospital following multiple surgeries.
Kristi Pollak and Kristina Quick had attended physical therapy school together. So, in one of those small-world moments, Mrs. Pollak suggested to her husband that they reach out to Miller, whose wife, Ashley, had recently given birth to twins. Like the Quicks, the Millers’ 10-month old twin girls had spent some time in the hospital after birth and the Seahawks couple knew the angst burdening the Quicks.
So, Miller and his wife didn’t hesitate showing their com-passion, didn’t think twice about packaging up a card and some items signed by Seahawks players and sending them to a family they had never met.
On the other end of that gesture, Dave Quick came home from a two-day stint at the hospital where his son Franklin had recently undergone open-heart surgery, opened a mys-terious package on his front porch and shed a few tears.
“I wish I would have had a camera on my face,” he said. “It was just disbelief, like, ‘Where did this come from? How did this happen? Why?’ All of those questions. Then every-thing kind of hit me, I cried a little bit. It’s just the coolest thing that these guys would take a few minutes out of their day to sign stuff, send it with a card.
“I still have trouble putting into words the feeling that I had. Our life was the hospital, every day, all day. Any sort of normalcy was out the window, so to have somebody do something like that to cheer us up for a few minutes was incredible.”
The best part about this story – and the reason Dave Quick felt compelled to reach out to a reporter to tell it – is that the kindness and caring shown the Quicks is not all that unusual. The Quicks’ tale is the story of so many sports fans who have been touched by the generosity of athletes who use their fame and/or their fortune to help make a dif-ference in people’s lives.
“I can definitely relate to anyone who has twins or premature babies,” said Miller, whose twin girls were born seven weeks early and spent three weeks in the NICU at
Evergreen Hospital. “They need that extra attention.” Not long before Miller sent that surprise package of
signed memorabilia to the Quicks, the couple and their in-fant twins, Franklin and Harrison, got a hospital visit from Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson and his wife Ashton, who stop by Seattle Children’s every Tuesday.
Wilson gets a lot of attention – and rightly so – for those visits, but he’s just one of many in Seattle’s locker room making a difference out in the community. Whether it’s Miller sending a gift to a family he never met; or Richard Sherman starting a foundation to help underprivileged kids; or Doug Baldwin trading autographs for donations to a local food bank, the Seahawks roster is full of people who understand they can make a much bigger impact off the field than on it.
Are there some bad seeds in any NFL locker room? Sure, but that’s true of any workplace, especially one that employs 61 men, many of whom are in their early 20s. (Seriously, how good of decisions would you have made given a bunch of money and fame at the age of 22?).
In the case of athletes, a lot more good goes unnoticed while the bad things become big news. So it’s worth point-ing out, from time to time, the positive impact athletes have on their communities.
“Look at what these people do,” Dave Quick said. “They don’t know us. If they didn’t send anything, we would have never known. So much is focused on DUIs, Adderall, weed, what have you, but there’s a lot of good people on this (Sea-hawks) team. Zach Miller’s a testament to that. These guys care about their fans, about the community. You can’t say enough about that.”
While the Quicks were at Children’s, doctors and nurses started joking that they never saw Dave smile. Kristina Quick noticed that as her husband spent days on end with Franklin while she was at home taking care of Harrison. So when Russell and Ashton Wilson included Franklin’s room on one of their weekly visits, it made a real impact.
“After that, he smiled, he was so happy,” Kristina Quick said. “And after we got the box from Zach, he was really emotional. They don’t know us, we’re not anybody. We’re just some people from Brier, Washington, who like watch-ing the Hawks play. For them to ... they have so many other things going on in their lives, and to kind of feel singled out as someone fortunate to interact with them or get some-thing nice from them, it blows me away. They probably don’t think it’s that big of a deal, but it’s a huge deal for people like us.
“There’s nothing exciting going on in our lives, this is it,” she continued, nodding to the one baby she was feeding, then to the other one drinking from a bottle in her hus-band’s arms. “It was a welcome distraction from everything. This is our reality, but we got a break.”
Providing that break is something Wilson has done since college, when he started visiting sick children in hospitals while he was the quarterback at North Carolina State, then Wisconsin. Wilson, whose father Harrison died in 2010 due to complications from diabetes, knew more than most people his age what it was like to spend countless hours at the hospital with a loved one. So when he saw a chance to bring a little joy to sick children and their families, he jumped at the chance to do it, and has since made visits to
Seahawks players care for even the littlest fans

...Go SeahawksThe Daily Herald Saturday, 12.21.2013 C3
What makes Russell so good?Despite boasting an impressive
college resume, Russell Wilson watched NFL teams pick 74 players ahead of him in the 2012 draft, including a punter. The snub was not based on Wilson’s skills or
productivity, but on something beyond his control — his height.
Yet where most teams saw 5-foot-10 5/8 as an insurmountable hurdle for an NFL quarterback, the Seahawks saw a player
with enough going for him to overcome his lack of height. Here’s what has allowed Wilson to transcend his diminutive — by NFL quarterback standards, at least — stature:
Story by John Boyle l Photo by Jennifer Buchanan l The herald
HEADWilson’s work ethic is legendary. He will out-work, out-
study and out-prepare just about any opponent, and has the intelligence not just to be prepared for a game, but
also to know how to keep himself safe on the run, a key element for a mobile quarterback.
LEGSWilson’s weekly Houdini acts don’t just keep him
out of harm’s way, they set up some of the Seahawks’ biggest plays. Wilson could
thrive as a pocket passer, but his elusiveness and running ability only make Seattle’s offense that much more
difficult to defend. Heading into Sunday’s game against Arizona, he ranks second on the team in rushing
yards with 508.
WILSON’S 2013 NUMBERS
Height ................5-10 5⁄8
Weight .................... 206Age ............................25Experience ........2nd yearGames ........................14Attempts ................. 357 Completions ............ 231Passing Yards ........ 3,077Touchdowns ...............24Interceptions ................8QB rating .............. 105.0
FEETWilson’s arm strength helps him make those impressive throws on the run,
but so too does his ability to get his feet in proper position even while evading pressure. Proper footwork within the pocket is essential for any
quarterback, but especially for an undersized one who needs to be in the right place to find the right passing lanes.
EYESPlenty of quarterbacks
can buy time with their legs; few are as adept at keeping their eyes downfield as they move, leading to huge plays when the cover-
age breaks down. Vision is also key for shorter quarterbacks who need to be able to find passing lanes
through taller linemen.
HANDSWilson may be undersized for a quarterback, but he actu-
ally had the biggest hands of any quarterback at last year’s NFL Scouting Combine. That’s imperative for ball security, es-pecially for a quarterback who
plays in a soggy climate.
ARMOften times undersized quarterback
means undersized arm, but that’s not the case with Wilson, who has a powertful
arm, even by NFL standards. And, perhaps just as important, that arm is extremely accurate.
HEARTNo matter how physically talented or intel-ligent Wilson is, he still had to overcome a lifetime of people telling him he was too
small, that he should stick with baseball or move to safety or wide receiver. Wilson’s
unwavering belief in his ability to be great is a big reason why he’s become one of
the NFL’s best quarterbacks.
Seattle Children’s Hospital part of his weekly routine. “It’s just a special thing for me, and it’s one of those things
where they don’t realize how much they give to me,” Wilson said. “I go through the week, there’s a lot of things going on, a lot of people talking good about you, bad about you, and
at the same time you’re getting ready for a game, and you sometimes don’t realize how important just life is in general. Just being able to walk, just being able to breathe.
“It gives you a tremen-dous amount of perspec-tive because it’s one of those things where, we’re professional athletes, a lot of people look up to us and all of that. But
at the same time, it’s one of those things when you have a kid who’s 8 years old who wants to be able to play football, but he can’t because he has a bone problem or a brain tumor or something like that. It’s unfortunate. You just want to give them hope and let them know you’re praying for them.”
Wilson and so many Seahawks understand that they can be more to fans than just Sunday entertainment. The Quicks, those “people from Brier, Washington, who like watching the Hawks play,” are just one of many families who have experienced the difference athletes can make.
“That’s the thing we’ve been talking about as players, try-ing to be involved as much as possible,” Wilson said. “You only get this opportunity to play for two, three years, some-times, eight, sometimes 10 or 15 – hopefully I’m on the 15-to-20 side. But it’s one of those things where you know you might not get those moments for too long and you want to be able to share with other people and share your experi-ences, so that’s what we’re trying to do here.”

Each person can make decisions about their own health care. A person can also indicate whether they want artificial life support to prolong life after the point of natural death by signing a Health Care Directive. The earlier version was called a Directive to Physicians. These documents are often erroneously referred to as a living will.
A Health Care Directive can express decisions about end-of-life health care that may be deemed futile.

“For American adults, the incidence of kidney disease is 1 in 7 people,” said Linda Sellers in an email.
Sellers is a spokesperson for Northwest Kidney Centers, which has a location in Renton.
“Many of them don’t know it because kidney disease may not have obvious symptoms until the damage is severe and permanent,” Sellers said.
Brazier suffered kidney failure three years ago when she was pregnant with her daughter Tatum. She did make it to her own freshmen and junior prom in high school, but wanted to attend this prom because it sounded incredible, she said.
Many of the teens attending the event miss out on events like prom because of their treatment regimen.
“I got to meet new people and realize that there are other people who are going through the same thing I’m going through,” Brazier said.
The Renal Support Network is a partner with Northwest Kidney Centers. The center has sponsored a patient to at-tend the prom three times in the past five years.
“It’s an opportunity to support a partner organization and shed some public light on the epidemic of chronic kidney disease, up 30 percent in the last 10 years,” said Sell-ers. “People whose kidney disease has advanced to kidney failure—as Chelsea’s disease did—have a very limited life expectancy unless they get dialysis treatments or a kidney transplant. With one of those treatments, life expectancy for a person with kidney failure can be many many more years.”
The Renal Teen Prom is held every year for those age 14 to 24, who have kidney disease.

Renton police are investigating a shooting that left one man with non-life-threatening injuries Monday night.
Just after 9 p.m., police found the 22-year-old Renton resident with a gunshot wound, inside an apartment building near Hardie Avenue Southwest and Renton Avenue extension. The man was transported to Harborview Medical Center, where he was treated and released.
Evidence at the scene indicates that shots were fired from outside the apartment into the victim’s apartment, through a window, police report.
“We don’t know the motive for this shooting, nor the type of gun, other than the fact that it was a handgun,” said Detective Robert Oni-shi, a spokesman for the Renton Police Department.
Onishi said officers have been called to the apartment complex be-fore, but not more frequently than similar-sized buildings.
Police are asking that anyone who may have seen or heard anything related to the crime contact Detective Kordel at 425-430-7500 and refer to case number 14-805.
renton police investigate monday night shooting
By DEAN A. rADForD
A light-blue Crown Victoria pulled up behind a Chrysler sedan on Aberdeen Avenue Northeast late in the afternoon on Jan. 12.
Someone in the Crown Vic (the type often driven by police officers) pointed a gun at those inside the sedan, all in view of a resident of a nearby apartment complex, and both cars then left.
But they returned a short time later and someone got out of the Ford and approached the sedan while pointing a gun at those inside. The resident called 911.
All the players were still on the street when Renton Police officers arrived to a call, “threats with a weapon.” Officers ordered the five men to the ground, with their hands up in the high-risk stop.
K9 Boss was on scene in case someone tried to flee.
The one holding the gun, a 24-year-old Des Moines man wearing a gun belt, was read his rights.
It was an air soft gun.He agreed to talk.He and his friends were in Renton to film a rap
video. He’s the director, who does music videos for local rap artists. Today, he was playing a police officer, a role which required him to get out of the Crown Victoria and contact the people inside the sedan.
He was just using a fake firearm.But what officers were about to find wasn’t fake.The driver of the Crown Victoria gave officers
written permission to search the car, including its trunk, for firearms and other contraband. The car had a temporary license plate on the back window.
Inside the trunk was an open shoulder bag. Of-ficers could see a silver .45-caliber Ruger, a large jar containing 21.82 grams of marijuana and a scale. No one claimed ownership of the shoulder bag; the driver had no idea what was in the trunk of the car, which belonged to a friend’s fiance. Officers did determine the identity of the gun’s registered owner.
The Renton Police report indicated that all the “ac-tors” were cooperative. No one was arrested, but the case was referred to the Renton Prosecutor’s Office because a firearm was involved.

With three meets left to go this season, Lindbergh senior Andrew Franco-Munoz is poised to do
something only one other Eagles swimmer has done in the past 20 years: he’s about to qualify for every single individual event at this year’s state meet.
Known in swimming as the “iron man,” qualifying for every stroke and every distance is a feat that coach Roger Miron said shows a versatility that most swimmers just can’t muster.
“It’s a difficult feat,” Miron said Tuesday.At Tuesday’s meet, Franco-Munoz, who is
primarily a 100-yard butterfly and 50-yard freestyle sprinter, won the 500-yard freestyle event with a good enough time to qualify for the state meet.
Now all that’s left is the 100-yard breast stroke and both coach and swimmer are convinced he can get the qualifying time before the end of the season to complete the iron man.
Franco-Munoz, 18, has been swimming since he was 8 years old, first with the Chinook club and then with King County Aquatics. He has been a standout for Lindbergh since first hitting the water for the Eagles as a freshman.
But this year, he says he is even “surprising myself.”
“I’ve been dropping so much time this year,” he said.
Franco-Munoz attributes the change to pay-ing closer attention to what his coach is telling him during practices and making sure to give 100 percent.
“In practice I’ve been doing a lot better,” he
said, adding that some additional time in the weight room this off season helped him get stronger than he’s ever been.
“Andrew right now is swimming with a pur-pose,” Miron said of the two-time 50 freestyle and 100 butterfly district champion. “Being his senior year, he wants to go out with a bang.”
According to Miron, Franco-Munoz had
some eligibility issues that kept him from com-peting the postseason last year. The coach said he took responsibility, apologized to his team-mates and vowed to be better this season.
“He hasn’t disappointed one bit,” Miron said. “He’s swimming almost angry. His goal is to break records.”

ON lindbergh senior nears swimming’s ‘iron man’
andrew Franco-Munoz, 18, has been swimming since he was 8 years old. This season, the Lindbergh senior is on the verge of completing swimming’s ‘iron man.’ Brian BeckLey, Renton Reporter
By Brian Beckley
After dropping their first game of the season in late December, the Hazen boys basketball team has now reeled off six consecutive wins to earn a place at the top of the standings.
On Jan. 17, the Highland-ers improved their record to 13-1 overall and remained a perfect 8-0 in the Seamount League with an 80-39 victory over Tyee.
“I think we are continuing to improve as the year moves on which is encouraging as we approach this stretch run. In
the Tyee game, as a team we rebounded the ball very well,” said coach Ryan Thompson in an email.
Hazen out-rebounded Tyee 39-15 on Friday.
Dominic Green again led the Highlanders with 18 points on 9 of 10 shooting. Derrick DeMers had 12 points and 4 rebounds of his own while Connor O’Hearn added 12 points, 6 assists, and 7 steals in the win.
On Jan. 15, the Highlanders had little trouble with Ever-green, going into Evergreen High School and beating the Wolverines 66-29.
Dominic Green led the way
for the Highlanders, racking up 20 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists in the win. Andy Jolly added 8 points, 6 rebounds and 3 steals, while Isaiah Davis had 10 points and 9 rebounds and Connor O’Hearn added 12 points and 4 steals of his own.
Coach Thompson wrote in his email that his team played well and put in a much better defensive effort than they had in the previous game, a 68-57 win over Foster on Jan. 13 that saw Hazen turn the ball over 25 times, a season-high.
Thompson said Green had

Junior Olivia Jollimore finished first in the 170-pound weight class at the Lady Lions Tour-nament of Champions. Senior Abby Chufar fin-ished second in the 124-pound class and junior Cindy Huynh finished third at the 118-pound class.
On the boys side of the Tournament of Champions, the Eagles had six boys place in the top three. Trevonn Russell placed highest for Lindbergh, winning the 195-pound division. Colton Maddy finished second in the 126-pound

Miron said Franco-Munoz came into the season in great shape and has shown great determination in practices and meets.
Franco-Munoz, who said he does not plan to swim at college where he plans to go pre-law, credits his coach with helping him drop time and offers simple advice to his younger teammates on how to improve their times.
“Listen to Roger,” he said. “He knows what he’s doing.”
With three meets left, Miron said he fully expects Franco-Munoz to qualify in the breaststroke as well, but the swimmer himself already has his sites set on bigger goals.
“I’m just really looking forward to states,” he said.

20 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists against Foster, but it was Davis, who had 19 points and 10 rebounds, that “brought a lot of energy we were lacking” to spur on the Highlanders.
On Jan. 10, the Highlanders welcomed Kennedy Catholic to Hazen High School, crushing the Lancers 84-52. Thompson said his team “played as good as we have ever played in my time here” and credited the “great home crowd” with helping the team get out to a 30-12 lead in the first quarter alone. Green had a career-high 31 points against Kennedy, going 12-of-18 shooting on the night, including 5 of 6 from 3-point range. He also had 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Anthony Phillips added 18 points and 16
rebounds of his own in the victory.On Jan. 8, the Highlanders faced in-
tradistrict rivals the Lindbergh Eagles at Lindbergh, taking the game 71-54. In his first game against Lindbergh, the school from which he transferred to Hazen this season, O’Hearn led the Highlanders to the win with 17 points, 8 assists, 2 steals and 3 rebounds on a 6-for-10 shooting day. Phil-lips added 18 points and 10 rebounds of his own in the win.
Hazen played Highline at home on Wednesday and travels to Renton on Friday for a matchup with the 6-7 Indians.
