The Renton City Council has approved the design concept for a 19,500-square-foot library over the Cedar River. King County Library System

By DEAN A. RADFORD

[email protected]

Ending months of debate, the Renton City Council voted Mon-day night to move forward with a 19,500-square-foot library over the Cedar River.

The schematic drawings the City Council accepted from the King County Library System also in-clude a new entrance at the library’s southeast corner, which will feature a small plaza.

The council asked KCLS to con-sider adding another doorway in the entryway that would more directly connect the library to Liberty Park via the pedestrian bridge over the river.

The budget for downtown library construction was set at $10.4 million. That’s about $1.5 million more than currently budgeted for the project, so the city will look at ways to raise that

additional money. Options include extending the debt year by one year to 2022 for the bonds used to build the library, or finding money within the existing city budget by changing priorities.

Those bonds also pay for the new library in the Highlands.

The City Council also decided to hire an independent auditor to review the preliminary project budget and audit construction costs,

The fourth annual Friends of Renton Schools breakfast raised more than $167,000 for the school district on Monday.

Breakfast donations totaled $28,000 and event sponsors previously contributed more than $139,000.

Pam Teal, chair of the nonprofit foundation, said this year’s total amount, raised four months into the year, already surpasses the same benchmark last year. From January to June last year, Friends of Renton Schools raised $11,000 in addition to breakfast-event funds at that point in the year. As of April 30 this year, the group has raised $11,500.

“While, of course, I’m disap-pointed that we didn’t make as much money as last year, I’m ec-static that we’re growing in many ways,” said Teal.

The city of Renton has ordered the own-ers and operators of the Tranquility Holistic Center to cease business operations due to the lack of a valid business license.

Tranquility Holistic Center is a private, members-only, medical marijuana facility

that opened in April on South Third Street downtown.

Jay Berneburg, attorney for Tranquility Ho-listic Center, said his clients have a business license and are appealing the decision.

“They have a business license,” he said in a phone interview last week. “The city’s wrong.”

City Attorney Larry Warren reiterated in an

interview that the Tranquility Holistic Center had no business license and said if the group received one, it was “no doubt” because they were not forthcoming and honest about what would be happening at the business.

Warren said city policy is to deny business licenses for any business that is in violation of

Renton seniors celebrat-ed National Pretzel Day at the Renton Senior Activity Center last week with a shuffle-board-like game of pretzel bingo and mounds of chocolate, almond, Heath Bar and M&M cov-ered pretzels.

The specially themed lunch hour was part of a new effort to draw seniors to the center’s nutrition program.

“I call them fun things,” said Terri Panajotoff of the special event.

She was the winner of the bingo contest to slide three pretzels across a table into a tic-tac-toe board. The activity had seniors lined-up through the din-ing room. When it became clear that Panajotoff was the winner, everyone cheered.

After bingo, the seniors snacked on pretzels at their tables before lunch. After lunch, they got to pick which kind of chocolate-covered pretzel they wished for dessert from a tray full of treats provided by Merrill Gardens.

“I think it’s great; I like pretzels,” said Irene Mar-row.

Marrow comes to the center every Wednesday and Friday to exercise and enjoy the company of other ladies there.

National Pretzel Day is just one of many special activity days the Renton

Senior Center is host-ing in an effort to engage residents in their nutrition program. Seattle-based Se-nior Services and the City of Renton have partnered to provide the hot-lunch program to senior citizens age 60 and older.

The purpose is “to keep them active, to keep them socializing and to get them a third of their nutri-tion requirement,” said Cherilyn Williams, Senior Services site coordinator. “We don’t want them to be isolated.”

Eligible seniors are asked to make a suggested dona-tion of $3 to pay for the meal but those unable to pay are not turned away.

Up next for the center, National Chocolate Ice

Cream Day on June 7.Lunch is served at the

Renton Senior Center at 11:30 a.m., Monday through Friday. For more information about the pro-gram, call 425-254-1128.

Nitsa Kalasountas, now 18, can barely remember a time before Susan Hopkins was in her life.

The two are not family, but ever since first grade, Hopkins has been mentoring Kalasountas as part of the Communities In Schools of Renton’s Mentor Program, and that has forged a bond between them that is just as strong.

“It’s a family within itself,” Nitsa said of the program.

There are presently about 100 mentors in the program, which has been active in Renton schools since 1995. The mentors agree to commit one hour per week for a year with students who are at the greatest risk of dropping out or having trouble in school.

“The idea is to give the ment-ees a stable, supportive person in their lives,” said program manager Mara Fiksdal. “Mentoring has been shown to really keep kids in school.”

It has worked for Nitsa, but back when she and Susan first met, Nitsa was going through some difficult times. Her father had just passed away and her mother had been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease.

A month later, Nitsa was in the program and met Susan.

“It was kind of weird at first,” she says now, adding that a complete stranger showed up to talk with her and take in interest in her. But relatively quickly, the two began to bond as Susan provided an ear for young Nitsa’s issues and a stable, non-family adult presence in her life.

“I really didn’t have much coun-seling,” Nitsa said. “I had her.”

Nitsa said over the years, she grew to really appreciate her meet-ings with Susan, who became “like an aunt” to her.

Susan said overall working with Nitsa has been “easy,” but admitted to being a little overwhelmed in the beginning, but connected with Nitsa early on.

“I just sort of felt drawn to a young child going through that particular experience of losing a father,” she said.

Drawing on the program’s train-ing, Susan often brought an activity to the meeting to “evoke conversa-tion” with young Nitsa.

“It worked,” Nitsa said with a

smile.“Each week we kind of grew into

each other,” Susan said. Susan said she got involved in

the program after retirement, as an opportunity to give back to a young person “when you can make a dif-ference.”

Susan said she tried many of the techniques provided in training to

draw her out and build a friendship, but admits “sometimes it was hit and miss” and said she wasn’t sure how to relate to Nitsa at first.

But in the end, Susan

learned the most important thing was simply showing up week after week.

“It’s being there that’s more im-portant than anything,” she said.

Relating to Nitsa became easier as the two grew together and Susan got a better handle on her role and Nitsa became more comfortable.

“For me, it was making certain I was listening to what she was say-

ing,” Susan said.Some weeks they would play

games or do homework, others they would just talk. Some weeks Susan would have to work to draw her out, some weeks Nitsa led.

The pair said the greatest chal-lenge to their relationship came when Nitsa made the transition to middle school and Susan said she had to change as Nitsa grew into a young woman, often meaning the two would spend their time talking, or in Susan’s case, listening.

“It’s not you, it’s about them,” she said of the mentees in the program. “It’s been so rewarding.”

Nitsa said having Susan around helped her deal with the stresses of school and home life and helped her learn how to handle those is-sues on her own.

“She’s like my bowling bumpers,” Nitsa said with a broad smile and a glance toward Susan. “She kind of keeps me between the lines.”

But Susan also learned some things from Nitsa during their meetings, things like popular cultures, as well as how to let rela-tionships evolve without having to constantly define them.

“When I think of Nitsa, it brings a smile to my face,” she said.

According to Finksdel, the pair-

ing of Susan and Nitsa is exactly what those who run the program hope for.

“This match is a successful match,” she said.

It has been so successful, in fact, that Nitsa has taken on a mentee of her own, a seventh-grader, though not through the official program.

Nitsa said she finds herself using techniques that Susan used in their relationship and is learning to listen to the problems of her student in the same way Susan did.

“The scary thing is I see a lot of me in her,” Nitsa told Susan with a laugh.

Finksdel said the program is al-ways trying to recruit new mentors and has a special need for African American men. Though it abso-lutely takes a time commitment and may take some work, Finksdel promised it would all be worth it in the end.

“Our mentors love this program,” she said.

Renton High School student journalists exhibited their school’s motto of “pride, tradition and excellence” this week receiv-ing top honors at a national journalism convention, according to their adviser, Derek Smith.

Six students and the school’s ARROW news magazine received top honors in San Francisco last weekend.

The student publication won third and fourth place in the Journalism Education Association and the National Scholastic Press Association “Best in Show” competi-tion, a school release stated. ARROW re-ceived third place in the literary magazine category and fourth place in the special edi-tion category. The staff chose to submit an issue that explored the topic “school lunch” for the special-edition category.

“I’m proud of the way the ARROW reporters approached the topic of “school lunch” from a variety of angles,” said Derek Smith via email. He is Renton’s ARROW adviser and a teacher. “The special edition contains an interview with a district food service manager, a humorous first-person point-of-view column about chocolate milk, a graphic comparing rates of free-and-reduced lunch across Washington state, and information about Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move!” fitness campaign, which lowered the number of allowable calories in school lunches.”

Smith was impressed by the amount of information his students gathered, dis-seminated and the great lengths to which they did it.

“They also collected bags of garbage from the cafeteria after lunch one day and analyzed the contents,” he said. “I thought that was creative.”

Six reporters earned individual awards at the conference:

• Alicia Quarles, Honorable Mention – Literary Magazine: Poetry

• Banyon McBrayer, Honorable Mention – News Editing / Headline Writing

• Ksenia Ivanova, Excellent – Computer Design: Art Illustration

• Mirjam Amstutz, Excellent – Computer Design: Advertising

• Vy Nguyen, Excellent – Commentary Writing

• Alex Kalinin, Superior – Editorial Cartooning

More than 4,000 high school journalists attended the convention.

“When judges announced us as win-ners in the literary magazine category, I almost cried. I was so happy to have won something, I started taking photos with the award,” said Vanessa Abenojar. She is the editor-in-chief. “But when they announced that we placed in the special edition cat-egory as well, I couldn’t breathe.”

She felt the judges liked the diversity of Renton High’s population and perspectives presented, she said.

“Our work is produced by individuals who care about their community,” Abeno-jar said. “We go outside of our circles of friends for stories and even outside our own school.”

The state started treating gypsy moth caterpillars Wednesday morning along Interurban Avenue South near Fort Dent Park in Tukwila.

The Washington State Department of Agriculture will treat about 10 1/2 acres from the ground with a biologi-cal agent sprayed on trees, shrubs and other foliage that may hide gypsy-moth caterpillars.

This summer, the state will spray a much larger area, about 180 acres, from the air with a chemical agent that disrupts adult European gypsy moths from mating.

The aerial spraying will include a small part of Renton.

Gypsy moths if left unchecked can defoliate entire forests. They are found mostly in 19 states in the eastern United States; the state agriculture de-partment keeps a watch for the moths by placing small green traps that catch adult moths.

Genetic testing shows that the moths found in Tukwila are related to those found in the eastern U.S. They likely arrived in the area on a vehicle or carried in someone’s personal belongings.

This is the only effort in the western states to eradicate gypsy moths this

year, said Jim Marra, acting pest pro-gram manager for the state agriculture department.

“We are a pretty hot state for gypsy moth,” he said.

The Tukwila infestation is centered on Interurban Avenue near 149th Avenue South.

The applications are done one to two weeks apart.

Eleven gypsy moth egg masses were discovered in fall 2012. Marra called the infestation “more severe than most. We think it has been brewing for a number of years,” he said.

Twenty-five adults were caught in the green traps.

Gypsy moth spraying starts


Finally, thanks to the Renton Way – talking things through openly and honestly and compromis-ing when necessary – the city has a plan for a beautiful new library over the Cedar River.

Let’s not forget that that equation included the dogged persistence of residents who fought for the best possible design for the Cedar library. And they wanted the right size. The King County Library System redesigned an original concept for 15,400 square feet over the Cedar River. But at an open house in March, residents made it clear that was too small.

KCLS then went back to the drawing board, coming up with a 19,500-square-foot library the Renton City Council approved Monday night.

That compromise comes with a cost.The city will have to find an additional $1.5 million to

pay for a library that size. But that’s OK. It’s what citizens want and there’s only one chance to get this right.

The library over the Cedar will continue to serve Renton families for decades to come, with the space to take advantage of tomorrow’s library, which undoubt-edly will have new ways to preserve and share informa-tion.

It seems to make sense to extend the life of the bonds to get that additional money, rather than adversely affect other city budgets. Again, this is an investment in the future.

KCLS has shown patience as the city and its resi-dents worked through the democratic process of settling on the broad-brush design of a new library. KCLS designed a library to fit the budget

given to it by the city; increase that budget and you get something bigger.

There’s still some disappointment that the entrance to the library has moved. But KCLS worked within budget to offer an appealing alternative entryway that accommodates the structural needs of the new building. That’s a logical compromise, too.

Monitoring construction costs with an independent auditor was a wise council decision and a recommenda-tion of the city administration.

Now KCLS can move forward. And there are still questions to ask. What happens to library services while the Cedar library is rebuilt? There’s potentially a cost associated with that.

Should there be political fallout from this lengthy debate, especially as council elections approach? We don’t think so. The city had agreed to build two new libraries. Council members wanted to honor the city’s obligations.

But the city and KCLS compromised and, again, KCLS showed patience.

And what’s most important, Renton is getting what it deserves and always deserved – a library over the Cedar River.

You said it!

There’s an old saying, “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.” Well, what happens in Seattle should stay in Seattle.

Seattle officials had a bad idea a couple of years ago, and now some state lawmakers want to ex-pand that bad idea statewide.

The bad idea is Seattle’s paid sick-leave policy that applies to any business with five or more employees, even if that business isn’t located in Seattle.

Approved in 2011, the controversial ordinance says that, if one or more of your employees spends more than 240 hours a year — or about 10 percent

of their time — in Seattle on business, you must pay them pro-rated benefits, even if your company is located in Everett, New York or Milan, Italy.

To ensure they comply with the law, employers must keep track of every minute their employees are within the city limits of Seattle, delivering

flowers, picking up packages, making sales calls or attending a conference or training seminar.

To comply, employers must follow a few simple rules:

• Employers must track the hours of “occasional basis” employees to determine if the employee meets the 240 hours and track the employee’s ac-crual and use of covered leave.

• “Occasional basis” employees, once covered by the ordinance, remain covered for the current and following calendar year.

• Covered leave may only be used in Seattle (or for time the employee is scheduled to perform work in Seattle).

• Employers must provide to “occasional basis” employees conspicuous and accessible physical or electronic notice of the entitlement to paid sick/safe time, the amount and terms of use, the prohibition of retaliation against employees who request or use paid sick/safe time, and each employee’s right to file a complaint if paid sick/safe time is denied or if the employee is retaliated against.

• Employers must retain records of employee time in Seattle, accrued paid sick/safe days, and used sick/safe days for a minimum period of two years.

Just reading the rules is confusing enough. Imagine trying to comply with them.

One wonders why, if this was such a good idea, the Seattle ordinance allows labor unions to request waivers to exempt their employees?

To determine if a policy makes sense, try this simple exercise: transplant the policy to another environment. What if your landlord charged you a different amount of rent each month based on how much time you, your spouse and your kids spent in each room of your house?

Chances are you’d think your landlord had a screw loose.

Seattle officials see nothing wrong with their policy, but one wonders how they’d feel if another city turned the tables. Imagine their reaction if a neighboring city passed an ordinance exempting Seattle companies from their paid leave obliga-tions while their employees were working in that neighboring city.

Seattle officials would likely see such a policy as an outrageous intrusion. Exactly.

Fortunately, the legislation to expand Seattle’s overreaching paid sick leave policy statewide didn’t make it to a vote.

However, a bill to restrict such policies passed the state Senate. Senate Bill 5726, known as the “city limits” bill, would prevent cities or counties from applying paid sick leave policies unless the employer is physically located in the jurisdiction and covered employees work there at least 85 percent of the time.

The measure passed the Senate March 22 but didn’t survive the cutoff in the House.

Lawmakers should take up this common sense limitation again next year or, better yet, reconsider it in the upcoming special session. After all, what happens in Seattle should stay in Seattle.

requests from the citizens group, Save the Cedar River Library . . . Again.

The City Council’s decision allows KCLS to move for-ward with design work.

“The schematic is the design intent of the project,” said Bill Ptacek, the KCLS director, which the council had in hand to review before making its decision.

“There’s a lot more work to be done and blanks to be filled in,” Ptacek said in an interview. But now KCLS and its architect can move to the design development phase which will lead to the documents necessary to apply for building

permits, he said.Ptacek said he’s comfortable with an audit of the project,

which he said has been done in other cities.He pointed out that the KCLS process follows pub-

lic works rules and regulations established by the state of Washington, including contingencies, the amount of money allocated for budget line items, contracts and how consultants are reimbursed.

The council’s voice vote came after a lengthy public comment period for the large audience that allowed for some interaction with council members. Council President Randy Corman wanted to give everyone a chance to speak

before a vote was taken.Councilmember Greg Taylor voted against the schematic

drawing, indicating he wanted more time to review all the documents that were emailed to council members last Friday.

Audience members questioned whether the schematic drawings met the requirement for completeness that’s in an interlocal agreement between the City of Renton and KCLS. Jay Covington, the city’s chief administrative officer, told the council the administration is sure the drawings meet the requirement.

The council, however, wanted to hear from the city at-torney about whether the obligation was met. The coun-cil voted for the schematic drawings after the executive session. The council met in executive session, rather than in open session as suggested by Corman, because of the possibility for litigation.

A 19,500-square-foot library generally met with the ap-proval of the members of the citizens group. There was still some disappointment in the new design for the entryway.

“You did not guarantee that that entrance will be saved,” said Richard Bray, a group member.

He said the community didn’t get the worst-case scenario, but he doesn’t think the city got “the best-case scenario, either.”

For whatever reason a parent might have in mind to disinherit a child, he or she should be cautioned that children who are omitted from wills are likely to sue for their inheritances. They are not likely to win their lawsuits, but their legal actions may well prove so costly to the other children that they find it less burdensome to settle with the disinherited sibling. With this in mind, parents who entertain thoughts of omitting children from their inheritance plans may want to think instead about putting the child’s share of the estate in trust. Then, the parents can spell out when and how their estranged child can get any money or income from the trust.

Despite some chilly temperatures and rain in the early part of the week, this weekend is shaping up to be a beautiful one in the Renton area.

The sun is expected to shine all weekend long, with highs reaching into the low 70s by Friday and even higher this weekend.

According to the National Weather Service, Saturday should bring sunny skies

with a high of about 75 and a north wind of up to 8 mph and overnight lows around 50.

Sunday is even nicer, with continued sunny skies and temperatures nearing 80, dropping into the 50s overnight.

It should stay clear and dry for Monday’s commute, with highs on Monday expected to get near 80 again.

Warm weekend ahead

Neighbors of a potential transfer station that King County may build one day just off West Valley Highway in northwest Auburn expressed a resounding “no” to the idea at Auburn City Hall on Monday evening.Th e standing-room-only audience that overfl owed the council chambers and boiled into the hall was eager to lay it on the line for City leaders.

People gave reasons for oppos-ing the proposal: it’d be ecologi-cally unwise, it’ll reek, it’s poorly thought out, it’s crazy, West Valley Highway won’t bear it.Kathleen Cummings, a resi-dent of the Meredith Hill area of West Hill, delivered a tidy sum-mation of the arguments.“It just makes no sense to anybody who has been around that area – traffi c congestion, children, habitat, wetlands,” she said.

NEWSLINE: 425.255.3484City considers lawsuit over

tower closure at airport

BY DEAN A. [email protected] e City of Renton is considering legal action over the planned closure this

month of the control tower at Renton Municipal Airport by the FAA."We do anticipate taking some legal

action by the end of this week," Mayor Denis Law said earlier this week.He didn't know yet whether the city

would join another lawsuit against the FAA or fi le one of its own. Spokane Airports fi led a lawsuit against the FAA

last week over the closure of the tower at Felts Field, which is separate from Spokane International Airport.Th e purpose of a lawsuit would be

to stop the FAA from closing the tower until federal offi cials can resolve their budget issues, he said.Closure of the tower, he said, is "pri-

marily a public safety concern."Beginning at 8 p.m. Sunday, April 21, there will be no traffi c controllers in the Renton tower. Renton Airport would remain open,

but all airplanes, including the 737 built at Boeing's Renton production plant at the airport, would need to maintain

visual contact with other craft landing or taking off from the airport and on the ground as well.Th e airport is the sixth-busiest in the

state, measured in takeoff s and landings.Th e city doesn't have the money to

operate the control tower on its own, Law said. It's estimated it would cost $400,000 to $450,000 a year to maintain the operations of the tower at its current levels.

Th e tower is one of 149 the FAA plans to close to help balance its budget that was cut because of the federal sequester.

BY ROBERT WHALE [email protected] King County prosecutors on Wednesday

charged a 28-year-old Renton man, whom police call a person of interest in Sunday morning’s deadly shootings outside the Sports Page Tavern in Auburn, with one count of unlawful possession of a fi rearm.

As a convicted felon, Troy L. Neal is not

allowed to have a gun.Auburn police had originally arrested Neal for investigation of reckless endanger-ment. Dan Donohoe, a spokesman for the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Offi ce, said the investigation into that potential off ense continues.Wednesday marked the 72-hour dead-

line for prosecutors to offi cially charge Neal with a crime or release him.“Th e defendant’s actions are extremely

concerning,” prosecutor Greta M. Jibben-smith wrote in charging papers. “He is a convicted felon in possession of a fi rearm. He admitted to fi ring off three or four rounds in the crowded parking lot of the Sports Page Tavern during the middle of a

brawl.“Th ree people are dead, and one person

is injured. Th e defendant’s actions en-dangered the lives of all that were pres-ent. Th ere is an ongoing investigation to determine the full extent of the defendant’s involvement with the brawl,” Jibbensmith wrote.

Arraignment is April 15 at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent.

According to the King County Medi-cal Examiner, two of the victims, Lorenzo Duncan, 23, and Antaun Greer, 21, died of multiple gunshot wounds. Th e third, Nicholas Lindsay, 26, died of a single gun-

Challeneged to read a total of 100,000 minutes, the students at Tiff any Park Elementary School read more than 215,000 minutes over a two-week period, earning a glow-in-the-dark, “Readioactive” bowling party for the entire school. The event was set up in the gym and classes were brought in throughout the day to take a shot at the black-lit alleys as a reward for meeting the reading challenge. The kids wore glowing necklaces and other light-up garb and took turns trying for strikes. The school’s top readers were fi fth-grader Rachel Knittle and fi rst-grader April Hall. Above, Andrew Baldwin takes aim at the pins. Right, Raeayn Gilbert, Lillia Agadjanyan, and Giselle Angulo-Garcia watch in anticipation as their lane-mate’s ball strikes the pins.

Last year the event raised more than $190,000.

Teal indicated the foundation’s year-round funding efforts are the reason for this year’s successful fundraising. The group has grown in the last three years from holding just one fundraiser to becoming a foundation, she said.

“It’s exciting; I’m excited,” Teal said. “I really think we’re working as a foundation and I’m pleased with that.”

The nonprofit emphasized the partner-ships with businesses and community groups that have been forged this year at the breakfast. Contributions have come from The Landing, restaurant Wild Fin, the Seattle Seahawks and Union Bank, to name just a few of those listed in the breakfast program.

Also new this year was a program in which Renton School District staff could elect to contribute portions of their pay-back back to the foundation.

“The breakfast was a great celebration of our partners,” said Teal.

She sees it continuing to be that way in the future.

“We’re just one more organization out there, targeting money for successful pro-grams into the classroom,” she said.

About 230 people attended Monday’s breakfast, at which former Seattle Mayor Norm Rice was the keynote speaker. Rice spoke on behalf of the The Seattle Founda-tion, of which he is the president and CEO.

His group funded a million dollars to an academic liaison project in the Renton School District. The project is run through

“The Seattle Foundation covers all of King County,” Rice said before his speech. “So we really care about education and everybody in King County and how well they can achieve their dreams.”

Rice shared brief snapshots of his educa-tion experience growing up that took him from Denver to Seattle. His path to eventu-ally become mayor of Seattle wasn’t as easy as people might assume from his public image, he said.

He told the audience about being enter-tained by a bookmobile service as a child, while he was quarantined because of a polio outbreak. His parents took in board-ers at the time and one came down with the disease. Rice talked about former teachers who inspired and pushed him to succeed.

He called himself a decent student, not great. Rice explained how he dropped out of college for a while “with style.” He had a rough collegiate start after he learned his intended roommate did not want to move in with a black student.

Rice was motivated to return to college after performing in the play “A Raisin in the Sun” on the day Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. He acted on the side throughout school and was changed by that moment.

“I decided I wasn’t going to dream any-more; I was going to make dreams come true,” Rice said.

Eventually, he found his way back to school at the University of Washington and graduated. Rice has served the community

in many capacities, including working with former Renton schools superintendent, Mary Alice Heuschel. They both served on the board of the state’s science, technology, engineering and mathematics or STEM initiatives.

“Schools can’t do it alone; they need community,” Rice said.

Breakfast attendees chatted with student table captains while they ate. Attila Szabo, head of new Renton restaurant Wild Fin, chatted with a Lindbergh High junior, Aleisha Simpson. Szabo’s restaurant do-nated more than $4,100 to the Friends of Renton Schools this year.

“Well, it’s important to us at Wild Fin

to be a part of the community and as we looked at the community of Renton, some-thing that made a lot of sense to us was to support the school system,” he said.

Attendee Michelle Lee was motivated to bid $700 for a visit to the governor’s office in Olympia and a special lunch and tour with Heuschel, who is now Inslee’s chief of staff.

The audience also witnessed how funds from the foundation are being used to help teachers in the classroom from a video. Lakeridge Elementary teacher Theresa Tse demonstrated how her 6-year-old students are articulating math concepts, thanks to resources funded by the foundation.

“Thank you so much; I’m so proud of my kids,” Tse said to the audience.

The Hazen Highlander baseball team are the 2013 Seamount League Cham-pions.

The team sealed the deal Friday with an 10-0 win over visiting Tyee.

Coach Mike Brundage got a traditional dunk from the water cooler at the game’s end.

“It’s awesome,” Brundage said after the game. “What an eventful season.”

The Highlanders lost Sat-urday at Bonney Lake, 8-3.

They finish the year with a 14-4 overall record and a 13-1 record in the Sea-

mount League.Hazen opened 2013 sub-

district tournament against Peninsula Wednesday at Auburn-Mountainview High School. The game was too late for this edition of the paper. Hazen will then play Thursday as well. Be-

cause of their high seed, the Highlanders are guaranteed to make it to the next round of play.

Hazen soccer wins Seamount title, top seed

The Hazen boys soccer team wrapped up a second consecutive Seamount Champion-ship and No. 1 seed in the playoffs Friday with a 1-0 win over Kennedy Catholic at Renton Memorial Stadium.

Then, on Tuesday the team survived a scare from upstart Tyee, but walked away with a 2-2 draw to remain unbeaten this year in league play.

“I know every coach probably says this; but we do have a special group of guys in our program this year. You see it at practice and during games,” Matthews said in an email after the Kennedy game.

In the 79th minute senior midfielder Devin Sando connected on a corner kick from freshmen Reyes Garcia for the goal that gave Hazen the championship.

Senior captain and forward Sam Bunnell scored both goals on Tuesday for the High-landers on assists from senior Angad Singh and forward Marcelo Castro.

Hazen finished the year 11-0-3 in the Seamount League and 11-1-4 overall, with the only loss coming on the first game of the year.

The Highlanders are idle until May 8 when they will host a playoff game against the second seed from the South Puget Sound League at 7 p.m. at Renton Stadium.

The Lindbergh High School softball team kept their postseason hopes alive with a pair of wind this week, including a 10-2 victory Friday over the intradistrict rival Hazen Highlanders.

Lindbergh then beat Ort-ing 11-5 on Monday.

In Friday’s matchup, Danielle Danao picked up the win for the Eagles, throwing all seven innings

and striking out one while walking one.

Danao also helped her-self at the plate, going 4-5 with three runs and an RBI.

The pair of wins lifts Lindbergh to an overall record of 11-5 with a 9-3 record in Seamount League play. The Eagles sit in third place in the league, behind Highline, who has a similar record of 9-3 in the League and 11-6 overall.

Lindbergh was scheduled to play at Renton Wednes-day and home against

Highline Friday.The loss drops Hazen to

7-7 overall and 7-6 in the Seamount League. They are in fourth place with a game scheduled for Wednesday at league-leading Ken-

nedy Catholic and a game against Tyee Friday at Home.

The top three finishers move on to the sub-district tournament May 10 in Enumclaw.

federal law.“We’re not in the position to issue a license to conduct an

illegal activity,” he said. “It’s still a federal crime.”Warren cited the federal Constitution’s “Supremacy

Clause,” which states that federal laws trump state laws as the “law of the land.”

According to the city’s licensing department, the busi-ness license number cited by Berneburg is an out-of-city license registered to a company in Kent, saying they are a management company that assists medical facilities.

However, an out-of-city license does not allow for a storefront or for anyone to conduct business within Renton city limits, making the Third Street location illegal.

According to the city, as of Wednesday Tranquility had not yet filed an application for a Renton business license.

Unlike many cities, the city of Renton presently has no moratorium against medical marijuana dispensaries. It is simply policy to deny licenses to businesses illegal under federal law.

“Why adopt a moratorium against something that’s il-legal?” Warren asked, adding that this is the first medical marijuana dispensary to open within the city.

According to a description posted on “Leafly.com,” a site that offers directories of medical marijuana facilities, Tran-quility Holistic Center is a “patient-to-patient collective garden,” as defined by RCW 69.51a.

The site also includes a menu which gives the prices for amounts of various trains of marijuana, such as “AK-48,” “Jack the Ripper” and “Original Amnesia,” as well as edible marijuana-laced foods and concentrates.

The storefront has no signage and clearly stated the facil-ity was a locked, members-only facility. A second sign on the storefront warned that city officials do not have consent to enter and that anyone in the facility will not answer questions about the activities on the premises.

Berneburg reiterated that Tranquility was a “manage-ment company” that as part of its business provides quali-fied patients with an opportunity to meet members of a

collective garden.“Tranquility facilitates that meeting,” he said, adding that

no marijuana is grown on site.Tranquility then accepts “contributions” in exchange for

the products to a common fund that keeps the garden open and viable.

“It’s not anything,” he said of Tranquility. “It’s an agree-ment between sick people to help each other with their medicine.

Ken Aab, an employee of Green Key Management, the Kent-based company that runs the garden and the entity that received the out-of-city business license, reiterated Wednesday that his group planned to appeal.

“We’re not a business,” he said. “We’re not selling any-thing.”

Aab again drew the distinction between a dispensary, which he said sells the medicine to all qualifying patients, and a collective garden, which he said is a members-only,

locked facility.“There’s a big difference between what we do and what

a lot of the dispensaries in Seattle do,” Aab said, adding, “we’re not trying to make a party spot.”

Aab also said in the short time the garden was open, he saw a definite need for a facility like this in Renton, with most of the potential members being older than 40.

Aab also said he was unsure why his group would need a different license since his business is a locked facility and not really a storefront.

According to Berneburg and Aab, Tranquility operates as a 10-member garden under state law. Qualified patients join up as members, receive their medicine, make their donation and then resign their membership, which allows another person to take their spot. The group keeps detailed records for this purpose, Berneburg said.

“Pick a time and I will show you we have less than 10 members,” he said.

According to Berneburg, the practice is “100 percent compliant with state law” under the Division III Court of Appeals case “State vs. Shupe.”

Berneburg said the city is “wrong” in choosing federal law over state law and said emphasized that the U.S. At-torney’s opinion that federal law is supreme in this matter was just an opinion.

Berneburg called states the “laboratories of social change” and said until the federal government sued the State of Washington for being out of compliance, the state and cities should follow state law until the courts decide.

In a rare case of agreement between Warren and Berneburg, Warren also said the city is caught in between the state and federal governments, making it confusing to navigate this issue. He too said he would like to see the two governmental entities get together and figure out how the state and cities should respond.

“Just tell us which way to go,” he said.

The red tag placed near the door of the Tranquility Holistic Center on South Third Street covers up a document stating that city officials do not have consent to enter and no one in the facility will answer questions about the activities on the premises. Brian BeCkley, Renton Reporter

Renton resident and jazz pianist Terry McCaw, known to many as Yogi McCaw, has found himself at the center of a new world music movement, with the success of The Yoginis In-dian Jazz Project, his band.

McCaw, who formed the band around 2003, plays Indian jazz fusion music with a diverse group of musicians in the states and in India. They make up The Yoginis. The band was invited to play at a concert in New Delhi in March by the popular Indian fusion band called Advaita.

Advaita’s lead singer, Ujwal Nagar, originally

sang on The Yoginis’ first album and has gone on to superstar success with his Indian band.

“That band, in the inter-vening years, has become the singular best-selling In-dian fusion band in India,” said McCaw. “So people are like, ‘Oh, you’re using Ad-vaita’s singer’ and I’m like, ‘Well, he was in my band first,’” he says laughing.

McCaw doesn’t mind being associated with his friend’s Indian band. Ad-vaita received “Best Album” at the 2013 Jack Daniels

Rolling Stone (India) Rock Awards.

Now, McCaw is working on a full album of Indian jazz fusion. The Yoginis first album, “Terra Shivaiya” features six Indian jazz fusion songs from his band in India, including Nagar’s vocals, and six Latin jazz tunes from his U.S. band.

Eventually, he wants to bring both bands together to create one multicultural band.

McCaw is a trained jazz pianist, who’s dabbled in classical music over the years, but is also influenced by world music. Born in Massachusetts, McCaw lived in Seattle for a long time and moved to Renton in 2010. He played in rock-n-roll and rhythm and blues bands growing up in the ‘70s and discovered Indian classical music when he was young through meditation. His nickname, Yogi, comes from his Indian spiritual master.

McCaw calls his late father a “career soldier,” who advised him to ap-proach the world through a different path. Heeding his father’s advice, McCaw em-braced music and opened himself up to the world.

“People are like, ‘I see you with a hip hop band; I see you playing rhythm and blues,’” he said. “‘I see you with the Indian guys; I see you with the African guys. What the hell?’ For me, it’s just all one thing. It’s just music, you know, the universal language.”

McCaw has always been a fan of Indian classical mu-sic for its “sense of melody and improvisation,” he said.

He’s quick to point out it has rules and scales like

other types of music, but he likes the in-the-moment aspect of creating some-thing new.

McCaw is fascinated by India’s on-going population growth and what he sees taking place in that country.

“There’s a whole new wave of young people in India right now and they’re transforming everything,” he said. “They’re restruc-turing the society; they’re restructuring the music. It’s a very exciting time over there.”

The music of the West is coming together with the music of the East because young people in India are discovering American classics like Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix and creating something new with the music they grew up with, McCaw said.

He challenges anyone in the states to go out and find music that sounds similar to the new genre he plays in

with his Indian jazz fusion.Most recently his band

played at World Rhythm Festival at Seattle Center earlier in April.

video of a house party con-cert they performed April 14: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxR-8GP-FRfw

By DEAN A. RADFORD

[email protected]

Julia Patterson of SeaTac, who has represented parts of Renton and Tukwila on the Metropolitan King County Council for 12 years, will not run for a fourth term on the council.

Patterson’s political career goes back nearly a quarter century, when she was elected in 1989 to the first City Council of the newly incorporated City of

SeaTac.For nearly a decade she

served in the state Legisla-ture, representing the 33rd District.

Patterson last week wouldn’t rule out running for political office again someday, but she won’t run for county executive. Dow Constantine, a Democrat, finishes has first term as executive this year.

Patterson, 60, wants to “spoil her family” and enjoy

nature, which during her long career she has tried to protect.

“I am truly

making a passage,” she said. “I am truly moving on.”

There are many lenses to look at life, she said, and that’s what she plans to do.

Patterson will remain ac-tive in the community. She is serving as an appointed trustee on the board over-seeing the strategic alliance between Valley Medical Center and UW Medicine and is on the board of directors of the Highline YMCA.

“I will allow doors to open,” she said of future opportunities.

Patterson and her hus-band Pat have three grown

children and four grand-children.

“I will have time to spoil my family,” said Patterson who has been a “working mother and grandmother for many years.”

She’s wanted to spend “a great deal more time in nature. It revives me,” she said.

Patterson, a Democrat, was elected to the King County Council in 2001, beating Republican Pam

Roach with nearly 60 per-cent of the vote.

“Serving as a city, state, and county representative has been a great life experi-ence and honor,” said Pat-terson. “I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. And above all, I’ve enjoyed meeting so many wonderful people in our communities. I give thanks for their willingness to express their hopes and dreams; their beliefs and their fears. Most of all, I give thanks for their good-ness and desire to make this a better world.”

She has served in every major leadership role on the County Council, including as budget chair during the Great Recession.

She has also served in leadership roles on regional commissions and boards, including the Puget Sound Regional Council’s Trans-portation Policy Board, the Sound Transit Board of Directors, King County Board of Health and the King County Flood Control District.

In South King County she helped lead the success-ful decade-long develop-ment of the “Lakes to Sound Trail,” a 16.9-mile pedestrian and cycling trail. When complete, the trail will run from Renton through Tukwila, Burien, SeaTac, and eventually connect to the Des Moines Creek Trail.
