Michael Chadd Boysen will face life in prison without possibility of parole when he’s sentenced Oct. 18 for murdering his grand-parents in March.

Boysen, 27, pleaded guilty Oct. 4 to two counts of aggravated first-degree murder in the slayings of his grandparents, Norma and Robert Taylor, at their Fairwood home.

He had pleaded not guilty to the charges in April. In August King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg decided he wouldn’t seek the death penalty if Boysen was convicted.

Boysen was released March 8 from prison on a burglary conviction; his grandparents picked him up and then hosted a welcome-home party for him the night they were killed. Their bodies were discovered by Boy-sen’s adoptive mother, the daughter of the slain couple, who were in their early 80s.

After killing his grandparents, Boysen fled in their car to Oregon, where he was arrested March 12 after a 10-hour standoff with police at a Lincoln City motel.

County making push to sign up people for healthcare coverage

By BRiAN BECklEy

[email protected]

Despite the battle over its future that has the federal government in shutdown, the Affordable Healthcare Act exchanges opened this past week and efforts are under way in King County to register the nearly 30 percent of county residents who are presently uninsured.

“Here in King County we’re looking at over 180,000 currently uninsured individu-als who are going to have access to coverage because of the changes,” said Jennifer DeYoung, health reform policy analyst for Public Health - Seattle and King County.

In Renton alone, an estimated 12,493 people – about one in five residents of the city - do not have healthcare. Of those

people, an estimated 3,783 will be eligible for Medicaid through the expansion of the program, while an additional 6,850 will be eligible for subsidies and credits through the Health Benefit Exchange.

The county is making a push this month to contact those eligible for the new exchanges to help them sign up for the program and Maria Wood, Board of Health administrator, was at the Renton City Council’s Committee of the Whole meeting Monday.

Under the new law, commonly referred to as “Obamacare,” most individuals will be required by law to have health coverage

beginning Jan. 1. To help meet that require-ment, the state of Washington has rolled out two new coverage options.

First, Medicaid coverage, formerly known as Apple Health, will be expanded to individuals with incomes up to 138 per-cent of the poverty line, or $15,864 for an individual or $26,952 for a family of three.

In addition, the state has launched its Health Benefit Exchange with subsidized premiums and tax credits available for individuals with incomes from 139 percent to 400 percent of the poverty line, or up to $45,960 for an individual and $78,120 for a

Officials estimate one in five Renton residents is presently without health insurance; county partners with community groups to reach non-English-speaking populations

N Renton honors Jim Sullivan as Citizen of the Year

The City of Renton, Renton Chamber of Commerce and Rotary Club of Renton honored Jim Sullivan as the 2013 Citizen of the Year and Maggie Breen and Marlene Winter as Outstanding Citizens.

These awards recognize their un-wavering dedication and far-reach-ing contributions to the Renton community.

The annual Citizen of the Year Banquet is scheduled for Oct. 16 at the Renton Senior Activity Center.

Numerous organizations and thousands of individuals benefited from the combined volunteer efforts of Sullivan, Breen and Win-ter. Their volunteer service focuses on a variety of areas, including health and human services, com-munity involvement, building partnerships and education.

“It is my honor and privi-lege to recognize Jim Sullivan as the 2013 Citizen of the year and Maggie Breen and Marlene Winter as Outstanding Citizens,” said Renton Mayor Denis Law in a press release. “I am pleased to recognize their dedication and passion for this city and our community. These awards are just one small way to say ‘thank you’ to individuals who dedicate their lives to making a difference, and help make our city a better place to live, work, and grow.”

2013 Citizen of the Year Jim Sullivan has contributed to the Renton community since his arrival in Renton 40 years ago. Sullivan has been the president of

SHAG (Senior Housing Assistance Group) for the last 19 years, an organization that currently serves approximately 5,000 people in more than 28 communities in the region by providing affordable rental apartments for low-income seniors.

Sullivan has also been an active and financial supporter of many community causes, including Friends of Renton Schools and King County Sexual Assault Re-source Center.

He was also instrumental in es-tablishing RotaCare, a free health clinic for people with no other access to health care. The clinic meets every Saturday morning at the Renton Rotary Salvation Army Food Bank and has part-nered with Valley Medical Center, which provides not only monetary support but physician and medical personnel as well. Sullivan is there nearly every week and his caring demeanor is appreciated by all who come to the clinic.

His active participation in all these organizations has made a difference in the Renton com-munity.

“Jim’s dedication to helping those without access to medical care through our local RotaCare Clinic is just the latest example of his service through Rotary,” said Renton Rotary President John Bauman. “I join with other mem-bers of Renton Rotary in con-gratulating Jim on his selection as Renton Citizen of the Year. We also offer our congratulations to Maggie Breen and Marlene Winter

on their selection as Outstanding Citizens.”

2013 Outstanding Citizen Mag-gie Breen is an excellent example of a Renton resident who has impacted Renton in an extraordi-nary way, demonstrating strong character and leadership. Breen presently serves as the Executive Director of REACH (Renton Ecu-menical Association of Churches), a faith-based collection of organi-zations whose slogan is “Commu-nity for the Sake of the World.”

During her three-year tenure with REACH, the number of or-ganizations involved has increased by 50 percent. Breen has expanded REACH’s partnerships beyond the faith-based community to include the Renton School District, the City of Renton and local busi-nesses and individuals.

Breen was instrumental in start-ing the REACH Center of Hope Women’s Shelter with Dr. Linda Smith and she is currently work-ing to develop the Meal Coalition and “Safe Parking” designated locations in Renton for homeless to park overnight.

2013 Outstanding Citizen Marlene Winter is a member of the City of Renton’s Parks Com-mission, the Renton Community Foundation, the Kennydale Neigh-borhood Association, a found-ing member of RUFF (Renton’s Unleashed Furry Friends), and the

volunteer manager of the Cedar River Dog Park.

For the past 10 years, Winter and her husband Roger have picked up litter on Lake Washing-ton Boulevard. She donates her time as a reading tutor at Camp-bell Hill Elementary School. She was instrumental in starting the bus pass donation program for the Renton Community Foundation and donates both time and money to support the needs of our com-munity.

“Citizen of the Year is a wonderful program to recognize the hard-working volunteers in our community who help make Renton a great community,” said Lynn Wallace, President/CEO, Renton Chamber of Commerce.

The 2013 Citizen of the Year banquet is scheduled for 5 p.m. Oct. 16 at the Senior Activity Cen-ter. Tickets are $35 per person and include a salmon dinner. For more information, visit www.gorenton.com.

Anthony Hemstad has resigned from the Public Hospital District No. 1 Board of Commissioners, now that his Kent home has sold and he’s no longer living in the district.

Hemstad tendered his resignation in an email

Sept. 22 to Dr. Paul Joos, the commission president.

Joos informed the commission of Hemstad’s resignation in a letter Oct. 3 after he returned from a vacation.

Earlier, Hemstad had resigned as a trustee on the Board of Trustees that oversees the operations of Valley Medical Center

under a strategic alliance with UW Medicine. All five district commission-ers serve as trustees.

The Public Hospital District still owns the medical center and elected commissioners oversee the district’s taxes and some other non-medical-related functions.

Hemstad is three

months shy of serving his full six-year term.

Two Kent residents, Barbara Drennen and Albert P. Haylor, are running in the

Nov. 5 general election to replace Hemstad on the commission.

In his letter Joos told commissioners he plans to swear in the certified winner of the November election. That process is outlined in state law.

The next commission meeting is Nov. 4; the commission last met in

August.Hemstad was elected to

the commission in 2007, beating incumbent Carole A. Anderson by 108 votes. He ran as a reform candi-date.

“It has been an honor to represent and work for the best interests of the taxpayers and residents of King County Public Hospital District No. 1,” Hemstad wrote in his email to Joos.

“I am glad that some ba-sic reforms were able to be put in place in recent years but regret that more of the fundamental and wide-reaching changes that are desperately needed at the institution did not take place,” he wrote.

Initially, investigators didn’t release or didn’t know a mo-tive for the slayings.

On March 10 a detective interviewed two inmates at the state prison in Monroe, who recounted how Boysen had spoke of his anger toward his grandparents and his desire

to kill them. He said he planned to steal their cash and car.In an interview in March released through the King

County Sheriff ’s Office, Melanie Taylor recounted how her parents loved Boysen “more than life itself.”

Boysen’s sentencing is scheduled for 9 a.m. Oct. 18 before King County Superior Court Judge Douglass North in courtroom W-764 of the King County Courthouse in downtown Seattle.

Robert and Norma Taylor were killed in early March by their grandson, Michael Chadd Boysen. Family photo

Twelve Democratic and Republican state lawmakers will gather Friday morning in Seattle to continue formulating a strategy for convincing the Boeing Co. to assemble the 777X in Wash-ington.

This will be their second sit down in two weeks and will take place behind closed doors in an unannounced location. (I hear if you hang out near the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce building around 9:30 a.m. you might catch sight of them.)

And if it’s like the inaugural meeting in Everett last week, materials handed out will be collected before anyone leaves the room. This dozen, along with representatives of the Machinists, aerospace

engineers, Washington State Labor Council and Aerospace Futures Alliance, are trying to craft a secret sauce to sway company executives and don’t want its ingredients known prematurely.

They are under some pressure. Gov. Jay Inslee,

who cooked up the idea of the task force, wants something tangible before the international air show in Dubai begins Nov. 17. That’s when Boeing is expected to formally launch the 777X program and maybe hint where it will build the next generation of its popular jetliner.

There’s good precedent for such an exercise.A decade ago, a select group of lawmakers

drew up significant changes in Washington laws on such things as taxes, workers compensation and unemployment then got them approved by their colleagues. The result: Boeing chose Everett for its 7E7 — now 787 — program.

This time around is different in two major respects.

Then, the Boeing Co. laid out pretty clearly what it wanted and conducted a formal process to solicit proposals from communities and states. This time around, the company isn’t saying any-thing about its desires for the 777X.

“The whole genesis is different,” said Rep. Jeff Morris, D-Mount Vernon, who chaired the 2003 task force and is on this new panel. “We really don’t know what we’re responding to.”

The political climate is different, too.Then, the governor was Gary Locke, a moder-

ate Democrat. Faced with a Republican-run Sen-ate, he found common ground with moderates in the GOP and his own party in order to push through sweeping policy reforms which helped land the groundbreaking Boeing program.

Now, the governor is Inslee, a progressive Democrat. He, too, faces a Senate controlled by Republicans. And, like in 2003, there are divisive issues such as transportation funding, workers compensation and fish consumption which may need tending to in bipartisan fashion to sway Boeing.

Unlike Locke, Inslee’s shown a mostly take-no-Republican-prisoners attitude in his dealings with the Legislature in his first year. For some task force members, it’s tempered their optimism on what will be accomplished in the next few weeks.

For example, Inslee will likely need to press

It seems every three months or so an article or editorial appears in the Renton Reporter in support of building coal-export terminals in Washington and allowing the associated 18 trains a day (each a mile or so long) to pass through our communities.

The author tends to be someone with an impressive sounding business title who is pro-moting the proposed project as being good for the economy and thereby the public as a whole. They tend to play up the supposed benefits while playing down or saying nothing about the costs.

And while they may appear to be random stand-alone articles, they’re more likely a planned component of big coal and other busi-ness interests’ overall strategy to ram this thing through by making it sound reasonable or at least acceptable.

I think the public knows otherwise. These pro-coal articles are designed to slowly wear away at peoples’ gut instincts and thereby grow support for, or at least reduce opposition to, the project. It’s important that we not allow ourselves to be fooled here.

This is all about a minority (big business and big money) seeking great financial benefits while passing the costs off on the majority.

In a nutshell, the project’s proponents are asking us to support or allow massive amounts of Montana and Wyoming coal to be dug up

and transported through our state to Asia, where it would be burned and contribute to cli-mate change, which affects us all. And though this is an energy proposal, it’s even questionable how much energy sense it even makes.

Consider, for example, the energy consumed in mining, loading, and transporting the coal. And regarding the trains, we are all expected to bear the daily costs of the gas and time we burn while waiting for them to pass. When these en-ergy costs are factored in, it’s unclear how much net energy the proposal would even produce.

As a teaser, proponents point to the jobs the project would produce. However, relatively few would be permanent, they won’t be in South King County, and on the whole would amount to a mere drop in the bucket regionally. And the upshot – the project would make it harder for those who already have jobs to get to them on time.

While a few would benefit from the jobs produced, we are all being asked to foot a huge bill for them.

This is not the kind of economic activity we should be creating. We could, for example, mine the Washington Monument or State Capi-tol for marble. This would create jobs but not ones that make us better off.

Let’s reject this proposal as the opportunistic, selfish money grab it is.

Every year, 11,000 victims of domestic violence in King County turn to the legal system for help, according to Dan Satter-berg.

But, as the King County prosecutor said last Friday on the sunny steps of Kent’s Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center, he can only wonder how many more people are too afraid to call or come forward.

Especially given that one of every three murders committed in King County every year is a domestic violence crime.

“We know that domestic violence is a vastly underreported crime,” Satterberg said. “The reality is that many many more people live every day under the threat of harm, and under the threat of death.”

Police officers from the King County Sheriff ’s Office, Auburn, Kent, Federal Way and other South King County agencies, domestic violence advocates, treatment providers, survivors, attorneys from the King County Prosecutor’s Office and municipal prosecutor’s of-fices, attended the rally against domestic violence sponsored by the Auburn Domestic Violence Task Force.

Parked on the large sidewalk in front of the RJC entrance was a line of patrol cars from other South King County agencies. All of the officers who came displayed the purple ribbon in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

In Renton, Mayor Denis Law on Mon-

day read a proclamation declaring October Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Silhouettes of Renton victims, including their stories, have been set up at City Hall and purple lights were strung around trees

at City Hall in honor of victims and survivors.

Satterberg addressed the ef-forts of law enforcement, legisla-tors and community response to the growing problem of human trafficking and its proliferation through domestic violence.

“The reality of domestic vio-lence is that the greatest predic-tor of lethality is a prior act of violence,” Satterberg said. “Other risk factors out there … include

chronic unemployment and access to firearms. But the greatest predictor of do-mestic violence is a prior act of any sort of violence. And that’s why we take any sort of violence so seriously. We can’t predict which of today’s misdemeanors is tomor-row’s homicide, but we know that that is a common denominator of all homicides.”

The Domestic Violence Unit of the King County Prosecutor’s Office also presented the 15th annual Norm Maleng Law En-forcement Award to King County Sheriff ’s Marshall Danielle Bentley and Detective Don Wittmer in recognition of their efforts to fight domestic violence.

“Domestic violence is only going to be able to be illuminated and eradicated with our whole team,” Satterberg said. “But we especially honor you today, first respond-

ers, who have to come out every time one of those 11,000 calls per year is made. We’re counting on you in the first instance to bring peace to the community and to bring victim safety to victims.”

Residents who choose to opt out of carrying health insurance will be required to pay a penalty of either 1 percent of their in-come or $95 in 2014, increasing to 2.5 percent and $695 in 2015.

DeYoung said the county is

partnering with community organizations and leaders in an attempt to reach the county’s diverse populations that do not speak English and may not know about the program or how to sign up.

So far, a partner network of 23 organizations speaking 34 languages has been created.

“Not being able to read a piece of paper is not a barrier,” DeY-oung said.

More than 500 “in-person

assisters” have been trained so far to help sign people up for the healthcare exchanges. In addition to the online signups, the county is hosting more than 200 live events that will feature in-person walk-throughs and aid, including several in Renton.

Ask AnExpert....Q. Pet Internet Pharmacies…What you need to know

Not all internet pharmacies are created equally. Illegal online pharmacies may sell medications that are counter� t, outdated, mislabeled, incorrectly formulated, or improperly made or stored potentially putting your pet in harms way.

When prescribing medication, your veterinarian has an established relationship with you and your pet and has your pet’s best interest in mind. On the contrary, an internet pharmacy has no relationship with you or your pet and is strictly � nancially motivated to sell you medication and products.

Unfortunately, without exhaustive research, there is no way of quickly telling a reputable from a non reputable online pharmacy. This is why your veterinary hospital and their website supported online pharmacy is the best choice for purchasing medication for your pet. Your veterinarian can provide the following advantages over internet pharmacies: faster service, manufacturer rebates, often cheaper pricing, instant insurance approval, pharmaceutical manufacturers guarantee, inspection and approval by the FDA, education on the medication being prescribed and can not only answer medical questions but also provide emergency care for your pet.

Why put your pet’s life in jeopardy for a “blue light special” when you have a caring and highly trained veterinary professional that provides your pet with medications and products that are proven to be safe and effective?

tion process. At the county’s first major event, Oct. 5 at the Garfield

Community Center in Seattle, more than 150 people were enrolled in the program.

In Renton, there are events scheduled at WorkSource Renton, the downtown and Highlands libraries, the Renton Housing Authority, St. Anthony’s Catholic Parish, the Sal-vation Army and Healthpoint Renton, which is specifically adverting that assisters fluent in English, Spanish and other languages will be available.

DeYoung said while it is true the program’s website expe-rienced difficulties during the first week of sign-ups, there are paper forms available and the glitches had no effect on the in-person events.

“It didn’t stop us from getting anyone enrolled,” she said.

DeYoung also said the county is hoping that leaders within the non-English speaking communities of King County will become “carriers of the message” and help spread the word about the exchanges and the value of hav-ing health insurance.

Valley Medical center is also involved in getting people signed up with the program. Patients can schedule an appointment with a certified in-person assister or finan-cial advocate by calling 425-656-5599. Valley Medical’s primary-care clinics offer phones pre-programmed to call the Washington Healthcare Exchange Customer Service Call Center.

“Too many people in our area are living without health insurance, which puts their health and their finances at se-rious risk,” Rich Roodman, CEO of Valley Medical Center, said in a press release.

“We have been working in the community to help raise people’s awareness of the new coverage options, and we’ve also been working with staff to help hospital visitors get more information and get enrolled,” he said.

DeYoung said the goal is “full enrollment” in health insurance for everyone in the county and said the key demographic to get involved in order to bring down costs are young, healthy people, many of whom do not currently carry health insurance. “This is an opportunity for folks to get healthcare insurance.”

“The main population group this is really going to im-pact is childless adults,” she said.

Residents must apply by Dec. 15 to be eligible for cover-age beginning Jan. 1.

Knights collect for Special olympics

The Knights of Colum-bus will host their annual Tootsie Roll giveaway and Special Olympics fundraiser this weekend at the Fred Meyer on Rainier Avenue.

Knights’ volunteers will be wearing their bright yellow aprons at each location. Last year approximtely $100,000 was raised through partici-pating Knights of Columbus councils across Washington state.

“There is no obligation to get a Tootsie Roll,” says Richard Bray, a member of the Knights of Columbus in Renton, “but if you do donate, you will get a great feeling knowing a disabled

person will be helped through Special Olympics.”

The vision of Special Olympics is to help bring all persons with intellectual dis-abilities into the larger so-ciety under conditions that they are accepted, respected and given the chance to become useful and produc-tive citizens.

Volunteers from the Knights of Columbus at St. Anthony Catholic Church in Renton will be handing out Tootsie Rolls and collecting donations.

Nationally, the Knights of Columbus Campaign for People with Disabilities has been in existence since 1970, with 47 states participating. In Washington, the program is operated by the Knights under “Columbus Charities,” a 501(c) (3) corporation.

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.

Fall is here and in the Pacific Northwest that means the return of cooler temperatures, rain clouds and, of course, salmon.

Thousands of fish are presently making their way up the region’s rivers, including the Cedar River through downtown Renton.

Throughout October, volunteers from the Friends of the Cedar River Watershed will be present at five sites along the river to teach resi-dents about the epic journey that takes place each year as the salmon swim from the ocean, through the Ballard Locks and Lake Washington and up the Cedar River to spawn.

Volunteers will be set up at the Cedar River Library downtown, where viewers have an op-portunity to stand directly over the river, as well as see the many changes humans have made to the river through the years.

Next down the line is Cedar River Park, where you can see how some salmon are removed to be taken to a hatchery upstream.

At Riverview Park, naturalists share the human history of the area, while further up the Maple Valley Highway at Cavanaugh Park, residents can take a 30-minute tour past wildlife viewing areas and habitat restoration projects. Finally, at Lands-berg Park in Maple Valley, learn about the greater Seattle area’s water supply and how some salmon are allowed to pass into the closed boundaries of the municipal watershed.

All sites except Cavanaugh Pond are ADA ac-cessible, but parking is limited.

The events take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. each Saturday and Sunday throughout October.

For more information on the program or directions to the volunteer sites, visit www.cedarriver.org.

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

By DEAN A. RADFORD

Two pilots from China who were in Renton to fly a Boeing jet back to their country were robbed at gunpoint Sept. 26 on East Valley Road.

The two were walking back to their hotel at about 2 a.m. from the Silver Dollar casino when three men in their teens asked them for a cigarette and then demanded money.

One victim fled and called 911 from the hotel. But the three caught up with the other pilot and knocked him to the ground, hitting him in the head with a handgun. His wallet containing two $100 bills was stolen, but his passport was thrown to the ground.

A K-9 track was conducted but didn’t find the suspects. The victim returned later and found his wallet and the cash missing.

Officers found the tip of an airsoft or pel-let gun pistol used in the assault.

Police pursuit on I-405 reaches 140 mph

A Renton Police officer pursued a stolen car at about 11:30 p.m. Sept. 18 from the Highlands and onto southbound Interstate 405 at speeds reaching 140 mph.

The fleeing car, a green Ford Mustang, had been reported stolen the day before by

a Redmond man.The pursuit began after the Mustang

approached a four-way stop at North-east Fourth Street and Edmonds Avenue Northeast, where the officer was waiting to

proceed.Given

the Ford’s speed, the officer knew it couldn’t stop. The Ford didn’t stop and the officer did a U-turn in order to issue the driver a citation. A records check showed the Mustang was

stolen.The officer pursued the Ford through

Brighton Ridge apartment complex and eventually west down the hill on Northeast Third Street at about 85 mph.

The roadways were bare and the traffic was light.

The driver entered the freeway from Sunset Boulevard North.

Traffic was light and the chase reached speeds of about 125 mph. To keep sight of the Mustang, the officer accelerated to about 140 mph.

The officer ended the pursuit when the Mustang reached a more congested stretch of I-405.

The pursuit lasted 2 minutes, 4 seconds, and covered about 3.2 miles.

Man pushes woman to ground, hits her

A 26-year-old Renton woman told an officer she was walking on the sidewalk on Southeast 175th Street Sept. 17 when a man told her to get off his property.

Friends with her walked off and she con-tinued walking to a convenience store. The man struck her from behind, knocked her down and got on top of her, striking her in the face. He then walked off.

The woman had stitches when she re-ported the incident the next day.

Officers tried to determine the assailant’s identity.

Renton woman changes tags, cited for shoplifting

A 66-year-old Renton woman was cited

for shoplifting at the Goodwill store on Sunset Boulevard after she concealed items in bags and switched price tags.

She paid for the items with switched sales tags but not the concealed items. She was detained outside the store.

She admitted to a police officer she had shoplifted at the store previously. She was barred from the store for a year.

Graffiti sprayed on Cedar fish ladder

About a half-dozen teenage boys spray-painted graffiti on a concrete fish ladder on the Cedar River near Shelton Avenue Southeast.

They then fled back across the river and up a steep hill toward the Royal Hills neighborhood, which was searched.

Despite a quick Renton goal in the first minute of play, the Lindbergh Eagles girls soccer team rallied back to beat the Renton Indians 4-2 Oct. 3 at Renton Memorial Stadium in a matchup of two of the top teams in the Seamount League.

Renton opened the scor-ing on a quick goal from Asia Brisco, unassisted, in the first minute of play to take a 1-0 lead.

The scored stayed that way until deep into the first half when Lindbergh’s Robin McLuen tied the game for Lindbergh with an unassisted goal in the 36th minute. Soon after, in stop-page time, McLuen made a pass to Allison Fernald who put it in the net for a 2-1 Lindbergh lead at the half.

After the intermission, Lindbergh continued to roll, picking up a goal in the 42nd minute from Lindsey Pfluger on an assist from Justine Yarington. Yarington drew Renton goalie Taylor Farris out of the net and made a quick pass to Pfluger, who put it in the back of the net for a 3-1 lead.

In the 58th minute, Yarington got a goal of her own, off an assist from LeAnna Sauceda.

Brisco picked up her sec-ond unassisted goal of the game in the 74th minute to make it 4-2, but Renton was unable to get any closer be-fore the final whistle blew.

Both teams are now 5-2 overall.

Renton played Ken-nedy Catholic Tuesday at Renton Memorial Stadium while Lindbergh traveled to Highline. As of Wednesday,

scores were not available for either game.

Renton took on Tyee at home Thursday while Lind-bergh traveled to Foster.

Led by another three touchdown effort from Ernie Davis, the Renton Indians rolled over High-line 45-8 Oct. 3 to move to 3-2 on the year.

Davis scored all three of his touchdowns in the

first quarter of the game on a 4-yard run, a 71-yard run and a 37-yard run, all backed by Zach Hasson kicks to give the Indians a 21-0 lead after the first 15 minutes.

But Renton didn’t slow down in the second, scoring twice more. First Thomas Dejohnette took the ball 4 yards to the endzone, followed by a 10-yard pass from Elijah Clayton to Tahj Bailey to give the Indians a 35-0 lead at the midpoint.

Neither team score in the third, but Clayton scampered 4 yards for a rushing touchdown of his on in the fourth for a 42-0 lead.

Highline was able to put some points on the board in the fourth with a 73-yard pass play and 2-point conversion, but Renton answered again with a 38-yard field goal

from Hasson.Renton is the away team

this Friday in a matchup with Lindbergh at Renton Memorial Stadium.

A 35-year-old Auburn man has been charged with assault for allegedly shoot-ing at a vehicle near Lak-eridge Elementary School on West Hill near Renton after he wasn’t paid for a half-pound of marijuana.

Numerous 911 calls were

made the night of March 29, reporting the sounds of gunfire. The driver was shot in the back while he sat in the driver’s seat.

Justin Wayne Ice was charged Sept. 23 with one count of first-degree assault and one count of second-degree assault.

He pleaded not guilty at an arraignment on Oct. 7. He was arrested on Sept. 19 and released the next day.

Ice told investigators he is a licensed medical-marijua-na seller; a quarter-pound of marijuana sells for $700

he told them, according to charging documents.

The transaction was arranged for near Lak-eridge Elementary School at about 11 p.m. on March 29 for a quarter-pound of marijuana. At the meet, the buyer wanted an additional quarter-pound of the drug.

But Ice needed more bags to package the marijuana, so they drove to the Safeway store on Henderson Street to buy baggies, according to charg-ing documents. The buyer had arrived in a Chevrolet

Tahoe, which had remained behind.

Ice told investigators that as they packaged the marijuana, the buyer threw down several counterfeit $100 bills, grabbed the marijuana and ran to the Tahoe, according the charg-ing documents.

Ice tried to follow the Tahoe in his own car; he told investigators he lost sight of the SUV and didn’t fire his gun. But detectives contacted a shooting victim at Harborview Medical Center, who was the driver

of the Tahoe.Investigators tied the

bullet found in the victim’s back and one from his Tahoe to a gun Ice had in his possession when he was detained in a confrontation with the man to whom he had sold the marijuana.

According to charging documents, Ice had circled back, confronting the buyer who was walking along 78th Avenue South. Nearby residents called 911 to report a disturbance involv-ing a gun.

Renton’s all-volunteer Emergency Communication Service organization was recognized this past week by King County Executive Dow Constantine for its com-mitment to emergency preparedness and response.

“Whenever the ground shakes or the weather turns foul, the volunteers of Renton Emergency Communication Service are the community’s eyes and ears – gathering critical safety information and getting it out to the public,” said Constantine in a press release. “Every one of their members is trained to staff the city’s emergency opera-tions center as the need arises. I’m pleased to present them with the 2013 Executive’s Award for Community Preparedness.”

This is the third annual Executive’s Award for Community Preparedness, given each fall in recognition of outstanding ef-forts made by communities to prepare for and respond to emergencies. The award is also intended to promote safer communi-ties, strengthening King County as a whole.

The ceremony, held at Renton City Hall, was hosted by Renton Mayor Denis Law.

Renton Emergency Communication Service (RECS) was chosen for a record of service that stretches back long before their formal incorporation in 2008 by two groups of amateur radio operators. Over time, RECS volunteers have evolved to become a key asset to Renton’s Fire and Emergency Services Department, especially during disasters.

Each RECS member is trained to staff the Renton Emergency Operations Center and carry out communication responsibilities.

“Our emergency radio communication volunteers are a vital part of our emergency preparedness program in Renton,” said Law. “These volunteers have already shown their value to this city through the assistance they provided during past storm events that

crippled this area. We are very fortunate to have this dedicated group of people in our community.”

During the snow and ice storm of Janu-ary 2012, RECS performed critical func-tions, including call-taking, managing radio and social media, and providing real-time weather and road information gathered from around the City of Renton. When power was lost to hundreds of homes, RECS members were deployed to Renton’s network of Neighborhood Information Centers, where they posted information on shelter and food distribution locations.

“The dedication and commitment shown by the RECS volunteers is making a real difference in our ability to better serve our community,” said Renton Fire Chief Mark Peterson. “They provide timely and critical communications and information before it is needed.”

The volunteer group also developed a Mobile Communications Response Unit, which stands ready as a mobile incident command post or alternative Emergency Operation Center, as needed.
