With the Next Generation 737 fl ightline as his backdrop, county Executive Dow Constantine Wednesday brought together leaders of all stripes who will work to keep production of the 737 in King County.

Building airplanes “is in our DNA,” Constantine told a news conference overlooking the Renton Municipal Airport.

Th e 16 leaders from busi-ness, labor, education and local government are now part of the King County Aerospace Alliance, a regional eff ort to strengthen an already strong aerospace industry

that’s a key to the region’s eco-nomic vitality and recovery.

A driving force behind the alliance’s creation is the competi-tion the Renton 737 production plant will face to build the newest member of Boeing’s 737 family, the 737 MAX.

Boeing is expected to make its decision next year about where to produce the modifi ed 737 which will have a highly fuel-effi cient new engine. Boeing has made it clear it’s keeping its options open.

Renton Mayor Denis Law said the city believes there is plenty of room at the Renton production

plant to build the 737 MAX.“We must work together to

support Boeing, its suppliers and the aerospace industry as a whole, and continue to demonstrate that this is the best place in the world to build the 737 MAX,” he said.

To prepare for the competition

with other states, Constantine has asked the King County Council for $100,000 to produce a com-petitiveness study within 90 days that will assess the current state of the aerospace industry in the county.

Th e study will include actions

that alliance members can take to support and grow the aerospace industry in the county.

“Th e factories are here. Th e workforce is here. Th e ability to move goods is here. Now we must act to secure our future as the leader in this vital and still-grow-

ing sector,” Constantine said.“No one in the world can match

what we have here,” he said.Julia Patterson of Seatac, who

chairs the County Council’s bud-get committee, pledged to work

Th e fi rst steps toward a major revitaliza-tion of the Sunset area of the Highlands was taken Monday with the groundbreaking for eight, four-bedroom townhomes.

Th e Glennwood Townhomes on Glen-nwood Avenue off Sunset Boulevard Northeast in Renton are just the beginning

of the Renton Housing Authorty’s 10-year eff ort to replace Sunset Terrace public hous-ing project that has stood for more than 60 years.

Th e redevelopment will include replacing all of Sunset Terrace’s 100 units in a new mixed-use neighborhood that will have as one of its anchors the new Highlands branch of the King County Library System.

Th e groundbreaking was attended by

Renton, King County and Renton Housing Authority offi cials, as well as representa-tives of the development company, Colpitts Development.

Work will start on the new townhomes in the next couple weeks, said Mark Gropper, the housing authority’s executive direc-tor, who said it took “literally hundreds of people” to bring the project together.

Th e redevelopment will provide quality housing for all, he said. No longer will it be possible to diff erentiate the housing of those with money and those without, he said.

“Th ose days are long behind us,” he said.Residents will move into the new town-

homes next fall, setting the stage for work to begin on the new library.

Gariye and Sadomosamed Jofey and their four children, who have lived in Sunset Ter-

race for six years, will be among the fi rst to move to the new townhomes.

“We are grateful,” said Gariye Jofey, a na-tive of Somalia, who gave brief comments at the groundbreaking. He and his wife have six children in all, including two whom they’ve sent to college.

Mayor Denis Law also spoke, saying the redevelopment will help create a vibrant and attractive neighborhood that the city hopes will stimulate other public and pri-vate development.

Major funding for the project, nearly $2 million, came from the King County HOME funds. Th e Washington Commu-nity Reinvestment Association contributed $750,000. Th e housing authority has do-nated the land and Renton has contributed funds and waived fees.

Th irteen Renton School District students returned last Saturday from an experience “that will last a lifetime,” says one of the principals.

Th e students from McKnight, Nelsen and Dimmitt middle schools spent nine days on an ex-change program trip to Nishiwaki, Japan, one of Renton’s sister cities..

Th e exchange has been a tradi-tion in the school district since 1988 and despite initial fears about the aft ermath of last spring’s earthquake and tsunami in Japan, it continued this year. Nishiwaki is in central Japan and is miles away from the earthquake- and tsunami-damaged area.

Nobody talked about the incident, said TJ Mallos, an eighth grader from Nelsen Middle School, who added that if anyone was aff ected, they didn’t show it.

Since the trip, he’s decided that he will defi nitely visit Japan again.

He was fascinated by the tech-

nology he encountered every-where.

When asked about what he saw that impressed him the most, he hesitantly remarked on the “fancy bathrooms.”

“Th ey had those toilets with all the fancy buttons that do crazy

things,” Mallos said.He was asked most oft en by

Japanese students in their English class conversations whether he had a girlfriend. Mallos noticed they eat a number of their dishes cold and the Japanese like eating with family.

“Well, it also taught me that the American perception of life isn’t the only one,” he said. “Because, life is very diff erent over in Japan.”

During the trip the delega-tion met Nishiwaki Mayor Juichi Kishi and other representatives from the city. Th ey toured Hyogo Prefectural Flower Center, Himeji Castle, Miyuki Street shopping mall, two elementary schools and their host student’s junior high schools.

In August, 14 students from Nishiwaki traveled to Renton to spend 10 days with Renton stu-dents and their families.

“At fi rst, these 27 students were shy with one another, but when the Nishiwaki students boarded the plane to return home, you could see that friendships were beginning to develop,” said Nanci Davis, Sierra Heights Elementary School principal.

Davis, along with Karli Timm, a teacher from Nelson, led the Renton students’ trip to Japan.

Davis said in the two months proceeding their trip, all the stu-

dents involved kept their friend-ships alive through emails.

“Both groups experienced cultures so diff erent from one an-other...from homes, to schools, to food,” she said. “We are living in a global world and in order for us to live together in a positive way, we need to know how others live in other areas of the world.”

Students had to go through a selection process to participate in the exchange.

Th e program remains special to administrators and parents that see its importance even as parents have had to be more responsible for the fi nances.

At one time the entire experi-ence was paid for by the district; today parents bare more of the burden.

“I do not want to see the program eliminated, but I do understand the district’s budget-ary constraints,” said Davis. “Th e fi nancial outlay for the families is large and therefore it eliminates the opportunity for many students to participate.”

Renton Stadium renovations are fi nished. The home grandstands are equiped with new press boxes and seating as well as many other amenities. CHARLES

CORTES, Renton Reporter

Come see the renovated Renton StadiumThe Renton School

District is inviting the community to come check out the newly renovated Renton Memorial Sta-dium at an open house Saturday.

The event runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. with a brief presentation at noon, and

is free to everyone. There will be performances by the Seattle Seahawks Blue Thunder drumline and from high school drill and dance teams.

Voters passed a school construction bond mea-sure in May 2008 that paid for the estimated $7

million stadium work.Work includes seating,

plumbing and electri-cal repairs. As well as improvements to the concession stand, lighting, locker rooms, restrooms and fire protection.

The reader board and public address systems

were replaced, and perim-eter security was im-proved. The roof was also replaced and the walls were reinforced.

The home section of the renovation is complete and the visitor side is scheduled to be renovated in summer of 2012.

Joos has run his own business as an eye surgeon for more than three decades. Heu-schel has managed a multi-million budget for the Renton School District, mostly fueled by public tax dollars, as its superin-tendent.

Both want to ensure the new strategic alliance between Valley Medical Center and UW Medicine serves the community well and the public’s interests in the hospital district are protected.

“We need to make sure we have access to aff ordable health care,” said Joos.

Joos and Heuschel met recently with the Renton Reporter’s Editorial Board for an in-depth conversation leading up to the Renton Reporter’s endorsement.

As an educator, Heuschel sees how poor health aff ects a child’s education.

“Th e connection between education and health care is absolute and clear,” she said.

Her experience with taxpayer dollars “sets me apart in a diff erent way,” she said,

in discussing how she dif-fers from Joos.

She said she “learned a lot” serving on the President’s Advisory Council that helped shape the new strategic alliance. Heuschel was the state Superintendent of the Year in 2010 and was one

of four fi nalists for the national honor.“I decided to step forward and bring

some leadership to the board,” she said.Joos has done thousands of eye surgeries

during his long career. He has also pro-vided eye care to those in need locally and in foreign countries. He sees his election to the hospital commission as another way to serve his community.

He’s concerned that “unelected bureau-crats” are setting the tone and direction for the hosital.

“Th e board needs better leadership. Th ey need better intelligence. Th ey need to show more initiative,” he said.

Joos said he and Heu-schel are probably the best candidates to run for the hospital commission in the last 10 years.

“Either of us would be a positive change to the board,” he said. What he hopes to see is a continued change in the direction of

the commission.He calls himself a reformer.What diff erentiates Joos and Heuschel

the most is their reaction to something that happened in the past. Th eir race has a third “candidate,” Rich Roodman, the longtime CEO of Valley Medical Center, who now manages the strategic alliance between Val-ley Medical and UW Medicine.

Roodman’s name isn’t on the ballot, of course, but it oft en is raised either directly or obliquely as Joos makes his case to replace Don Jacobson on the fi ve-member hospital district board.

One of Joos’s main priorities is the

removal of Roodman from his job. As rea-sons, he cites the $120,000 fi ne the Public Disclosure Commission levied against Roodman for campaign violations in a failed hospital annexation in 2006.

Heuschel is aware of that history and had she been sitting on the hospital board at the time would have considered discuss-ing Roodman’s future. But she wouldn’t go deeper into the issue of Roodman’s fate because she wasn’t privy to all the informa-tion available to commissioners six years ago.

Roodman also received a $1.7 million retirement payment in early 2009, which was part of his compensation package. Roodman continues to work; Joos wants to see executive pay reduced and the savings used to hire more nurses.

Joos’s position on Roodman most closely aligns him with two other commissioners, fellow doctor, Aaron Heide, and Anthony Hemstad. Both were elected as reform commissioners.

While Joos and Heuschel support the alliance between UW Medicine and Valley Medical, they disagree on the underlying reason for its creation.

The hospital administration pushed for the alliance and a larger board because it feared it would lose control of the elected commission, Joos said. Heuschel said that’s not the case.

“I believe that was an honest process with the community,” she said of the development of the strategic alliance

Joos wouldn’t come to board with an agenda, he said, but he wants to make changes. “I think the administration needs to be changed,” he said. He wants to see administrative and marketing costs decreased, with the savings go-ing to hire nurses and provide better patient care.

“I want to put more substance be-hind the marketing claims,” he said.

Heuschel’s first priority, she said, “would be to maintain safety and qual-ity of care,” what she called the prime responsibility of any board member. That’s not an agenda for change, she said, and the focus needs to remain.

Her agenda is to ensure the alliance with UW Medicine is implemented effectively in a way that benefits the community.

Questions have been raised about both candidates whether they have

conflicts of interest.For his part, Joos said he would

recuse himself from any vote involving eye care provided by Valley Medical Center. His clinic is in a private office building on the hospital campus. Like other physicians with offices there, he owns a small percentage of the build-ing. He said he would recuse himself from any board decisions related to the 4011 Talbot Professional Building.

In Heuschel’s case, some have pointed out that Valley Medical Center has given money to the Renton School District. The hospital has been a finan-cial supporter of the Friends of Renton Schools, which is a nonprofit organiza-tion dedicated to improvement student achieve in Renton schools. But it’s not part of the school district. However, she said she would recuse herself if a situation did arise affecting directly the school district.

Joos and Heuschel agree that the discord on the elected commission has cast the hospital in a negative light.

Heuschel has raised the most in cam-paign contributions, $83,237, and spent the most, $70,236, as reported to the state Public Disclosure Commission on Wednesday.

Joos has raised $66,770 and spent $46,221.

Bernadene “Bernie” Dochnahl of Renton has been appointed to Valley Medical Center’s new Board of Trustees by UW Medi-cine.

Dochnahl will serve as a com-munity trustee appointed from within the medical center’s service area. Her six-year term began Monday. Previously, she served as

a commissioner for Valley Medi-cal Center from 1991 to 1993.

UW Medicine formed a new board of trustees to provide over-sight for Valley Medical Center and its clinics as

part of a strategic alliance formed between UW Medicine and Valley Medical Center on July 1.

Dochnahl joins three other trustees appointed so far by UW Medicine, chair Lisa Jensen, vice chair Peter Evans and Johnese Spisso, Chief Health System Of-ficer for UW Medicine Health System.

Jones a superb leaderRobin Jones will bring superb leadership

skills to the City Council. Having worked with him on my homeowners’ association board, of which he is president, I admire his ability to stay focused on the agenda, make sure everyone is heard, foster consensus and solve problems. Th ese are all great qualities for a council mem-ber. I am happy to be voting for Robin Jones for City Council.Kay PennerRenton

Heuschel advocate for kidsIn the upcoming election, voters in the

greater Renton area are voting for a commis-sioner for Public Hospital District No. 1 (Valley Medical Center). Th e strongest candidate, who will protect the public status of the hospital and who will work to implement the new alliance with UW Medicine, is Mary Alice Heuschel.

Mary Alice is an experienced executive, which is a necessary skill for the hospital board. She eff ectively works with large budgets, cost control, labor issues and a variety of community and government partnerships. Th e hospital board is the citizen organization that oversees the management of the hospital. Mary Alice is the only candidate with no confl ict of interest regarding Valley Medical Center services. Mary Alice has extensive experience in responsibly managing taxpayer dollars.

Service as a hospital commissioner is no dif-ferent than service on other boards. As superin-tendent, Mary Alice has served with distinction, on the Washington STEM (Science, Technol-ogy, Engineering and Technology) Center and Education Northwest boards, and advisory boards for Seattle University and Seattle Pacifi c University. Also, it should be noted that former superintendent Gary Kohlwes was elected and served on the hospital board while he was Renton Schools superintendent.

Vote for Mary Alice Heuschel, commissioner for Public Hospital District 1. She will be an in-dependent advocate for all families & children. She is the most qualifi ed for this position, and she will not let you down.Joy Poff Renton

Three who can do the jobEXPERIENCE, KNOWLEDGE, AND CARE

FOR RENTONTh e above words show what is needed by

the Renton City Council for leadership into the future for Renton. Th ere are three people who can fulfi ll those requirements; they are the best opportunity to fi ll the needs on the Renton City council.

Join me in supporting and voting Don Pers-son, Ed Prince and Greg Taylor for Renton City Council.David L McCammonRenton

Prince rolls up his sleevesI take real exception to Robin Jones call-

ing Ed Prince the product of “cronyism.” Th e fact is that Renton will support anyone who is willing to roll up their sleeves and work for the community. If Robin had wanted to do the same kind of work that Ed has been doing for all these years, he could have, and in doing so, he’d have earned the same level of respect that

Ed has earned from us “cronies.” Ed’s many endorsements are because this community recognizes what Ed Prince has already done for Renton and what he will continue to do as an elected councilor. Is Robin actually imply-ing that Ed’s endorsements from the police, fi refi ghters, Chamber of Commerce, City Em-ployees and 37 elected offi cials and dignitaries are all based on some conspiracy of disingenu-ous self interest? Robin Jones’ campaign, with no traction on the important issues facing our community, has been reduced instead to unsubstantiated allegations, innuendo, and personal attack. Th is is not in line with Renton ’s values. Please join me in voting for Ed Prince, the candidate to lead our community with the ideas, values, passion, and energy we deserve. Brent BedenRenton

Joos is best candidateAs a long-time member of the hospital

district and patient of Paul Joos, M.D., I am convinced he is the best candidate for commis-sioner on the Valley Medical Center Board. Dr. Joos is highly experienced in the operation of the hospital, delivers excellent patient care, is an independent voice, and will be prudent with taxpayer’s dollars. He has already stated he will recuse himself if a confl ict arises between his business and that of the medical center. His many votes in the primary demonstrate that the people support him. I hope many are not swayed to other candidates because of the en-dorsements of some in political offi ces. Th is is a non-partisan position and Dr. Joos’ indepen-dence will give him the freedom to make the best decision for us, the citizens of the hospital district, without pressure from political parties. Join me in casting your vote for Dr. Paul Joos for VMC commission.Jeanette M. MillmannRenton

Renton council candidates and their stances. Here is who I am voting for and why: Phyllis Forister, Robin Jones, and Sarah Sanoy-Wright. Phyllis Forister, because she has tried in every way possible to save our Renton Cedar River Library – from speaking so knowledgeably at City Council meetings (and when most on the council were willing to destroy the most unique and beloved institution and edifi ce in all of Renton – our Cedar River Library) – to making a run to replace Don Persson, who voted 2 times to destroy our lilbrary. True, the library issue is not the ONLY issue, but it is a defi ning issue. I trust Phyllis to make the decisions most of us can agree with. Robin Jones – he shines as compared to Ed Prince, who is the puppet that the good-ole-boys can control. Sarah Sanoy-Wright and not Greg Taylor – it is not true that they both opposed the library move. I had two conversations with Greg before any votes had taken place and he didn’t have ONE GOOD THING to say about our present river library. He told me the the new diverse community could be better served in a new smaller library at the Big 5 site. I asked what could be done better there than at our present library. He said “Oh you’ll see.” Why, if Greg so truly valued our library did he vote against it in a 6-1 vote. Marcie Palmer valiantly voting alone voting to save our library. Vote Sarah not Greg. We will be taxed for these two new libraries and hand them over to KCLS for ownership. Like that deal? FORISTER, JONES, SANOY-WRIGHT for council!. Judith J. TabakRenton

An Ordinary CitizenSince I write an occasional commentary for the

Renton Reporter, my editor, Dean Radford, asked if I would like to be part of the Editorial Board to interview candidates and make fi nal recommen-dations to the public for the upcoming November elections.

I’m sure they were looking for a Renton citizen outside the establishment with an open mind in search of the truth. Th e reality is, I view myself as an ordinary citizen who sometimes falls short of those loft y attributes. So, although fl attered, I declined.

Ordinary citizens are a politician’s “favorite candidate” as they know we won’t dig too deep to fi nd the truth. Our airways and our mail boxes are polluted with political quick short media bites that are irrelevant or are meant to shock and awe. But with little time to research details or substance, they get my attention.

Even though candidates, and their supporters, oft en distort the opponent’s credentials or posi-tions, they’re hoping the ordinary citizen will take what is said at face value. Don’t confuse us with substance or truth, we probably can’t handle it.

I should care about the atro-cious spending and question-able agendas behind campaign donations. But, as long as I don’t have to contribute, I’m good.

Th ankfully there are very few, if any, open forums to meet candidates and hear their views on things, because who has time

to attend? Instead, I’ll rely on the recommenda-tions of the Renton Reporter Editorial Board, the Chamber of Commerce, the League of Women Voters and the Police and Firefi ghter unions who took time to research candidates and their posi-tions. I’m sure they know what is best for me and the community.

Campaign signs, placed liked post-it notes along the roadways every 10 feet, insinuate that we are distracted voters with very short memories.

Perhaps over the years we voted into law that “he who has the most signs, not votes, wins the election.” I really can’t remember.

Likewise, somewhere along the way, we must have approved that when voting on initiatives or referendums “yes” will now mean “no,” and “no” will mean “yes.” But if we approved it, does that mean we didn’t want it? I’m totally confused.

Pulling out all those glossy campaign fl yers from my mailbox every day, is also annoying. Surely candidates don’t think I actually have time to read them on my way to the recycle bin, do they?

On the other hand, not having to stand in line at the polls to vote has saved me some time. But now I have to stand in another line at the post offi ce to buy a stamp to mail in my ballot. And, when I’m running a little late mailing it in by the deadline, the post offi ce is closed. All that work for nothing!

And when the election is over, I’m always sur-prised at which candidate won or which initiative passed. It seems no matter what I think or want, they’re going to do what they want anyway.

But that’s what I love about America. Every year we get to have a say in our destiny.

Elections and the voting processes are the core of our democracy, no matter how time consum-ing and absurd they may seem at times. Without them, you have a dictatorship. Th ere’s more than one way to kill a democracy. Unfortunately, or-dinary citizens like myself, who can’t fi nd time to be an informed citizen, is one. Someday we will share responsibility for its slow demise. Tish Gregory is a free lance writer. She can be contacted at [email protected].

The Nov. 8 general election got under way this week with the arrival of nearly 1.1 million ballots in the mail of county voters.

The the U.S. Postal Ser-vice delivered the mail-in ballots on Wednesday. Vot-ers pamphlets are also were mailed this week.

More than 12,000 ballots were already sent to voters living overseas or out of state and those serving in the military to allow extra transit time for delivery.

“King County voters can avoid the Election Day rush and stress by voting and returning ballots early,” said Sherril Huff, director of the King County Elections Division. “It also saves time and processing costs when voters remember to use a black ink pen to vote and sign the back of the return envelope.”

King County voters will begin receiving their two voters’ pamphlets this week — one from King County Elections, with city and county voting information, and one from the Secretary of State, with state infor-mation. Voters’ pamphlets are also available online, at

King County libraries or at the elections office, 919 S.W. Grady Way, Renton.

Voters can return their ballots right away by mail, which requires a first-class stamp. There are 11 ballot drop boxes open for return-ing a ballot in person.

Ballots must be post-marked by Nov. 8 or returned to a ballot drop box by 8 p.m. on that day.

Ballots can also be returned to accessible voting centers during their business hours.

Voters can confirm that their ballot was mailed and watch its progress online using the ballot tracker on the elections website.

To ensure that voters with disabilities are able to

cast a private and inde-pendent ballot, the county offers accessible voting centers. The accessible vot-ing center at King County Elections opens on Friday, Oct. 21; other locations will open Nov. 7.

King County residents not currently registered to

vote in Washington can register in person at the King County Elections office or the Voter Registra-tion Annex through 4:30 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 31.

Information is available at http://kingcounty.gov/elections.aspx or call 206-296-VOTE (8683).

As the nation recognized National School Lunch Week Oct. 10-14, five King County school districts, including Renton, have started on the road to im-proving school nutrition.

Implementing programs this year, the Renton, Auburn, Highline, Kent and Seattle school districts have all taken steps to present healthy choices for students, working to fight childhood obesity and other ailments.

In Renton new digital menu boards have been placed in all the high schools and middle schools and healthy choices will be noted with a student-designed icon. The digital menu boards will provide

calorie information as well.The icon, an apple, was

created by a student nutri-tion council, a 30-member group of students from all three Renton high schools, who started meeting last year. They are led by dis-trict nutrition specialists.

In the future, the icon will appear on floor-length signs, point-of-sale signs and right on the entrees themselves to identify healthy choices among the other options that exist in school lunchrooms.

“We’re not taking away the pizza, we’re not taking away the cheeseburgers or anything,” said Kira Acker, nutrition services and warehouse manager for the district. “We’re just show-ing them what is a healthy choice and teaching them that they can make healthy

choices everyday.”Vending machines will

also have nutrition labeling with calorie information.

The district has also

switched to using whole grain breads and lowering sodium in foods.

The push to better edu-cating children on nutri-

tion has been in the works for awhile in the district, but these new measures have been funded after the district applied for and received a Communi-ties Putting Prevention to Work grant. It is a federally funded campaign to fight obesity and tobacco use through Seattle & King County Public Health.

According to a release from Public Health, about one in five school-age children in King County are overweight or obese, which increases their risk of health problems includ-ing Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

They also note that since 1980, the rate of overweight children nationwide has doubled, and the rate of overweight teens has

tripled.The Renton School Dis-

trict is using peer influence to help shape children’s food choices.

The peer council has ad-opted the slogan “Healthy is Happy,” and they take pictures of their friends caught eating something healthy, which they will incorporate into the menu boards.

This, along with involv-ing kids in public service announcements on healthy habits and cooking dem-onstrations from culinary students, is designed to prepare students for mak-ing better decisions when they reach the “real world,” said Acker.

“I feel like I’m making connections with kids and they’re giving me honest feedback,” she said. “We’ve tried to do surveys, we’ve tried to ask kids, you know, and you just don’t get con-structive feedback.”

The most common responses Acker used to get were, “That’s gross” and “We don’t like that.”

By winter break, the district hopes to have the results from the data collection on fruits and vegetable consumption and the influence of the digital menu boards that they have been tracking with the Uni-versity of Washington.

Brotherton Cadillac Buick GMC has completed a fi ve-month-long renovation and will celebrate with a grand reopening event on Tuesday. Submitted

Brotherton Cadillac Buick GMC in Renton will celebrate its grand reopening Tuesday (Oct. 25).

Th e celebration from 5 p.m.-9 p.m. at the dealership, 215 S.W. 12th St., follows fi ve months of extensive remodeling that gives the facility a dedicated delivery area, private cus-tomer interview spaces, more com-fortable waiting areas, an expanded parts department and a new service drive design.

Brotherton President Brad Broth-erton said now was a “great time to invest in our business.” Th e project was done by Seattle builder, Lease Crutcher Lewis.

“We felt that Lease Crutcher Lewis

came to the table with a great plan and understood that we wanted a facility that would exceed the needs of our employees and customers for years to come,” he said.

Th e evening will include wine tasting from Ash Hollow Winery of Walla Walla and Goose Ridge Winery of Tri-Cities. Th ere will be door prizes, special guests, music and light appetizers served by local Renton restaurants, including the Red House Wine shop.

with the County Council on Monday to get the money to do the study and for $30,000 the county will pay to support the Project Pegasus, a statewide aerospace partnership.

Aerospace jobs have supported the county’s middle-class families for decades and Constantine wants to make sure that

continues.A 737 engine run-

up and a helicopter drowned out some speakers, but they helped make Constan-tine’s point.

“That’s the sound of family wage jobs,”

he said.Constantine also recognized the need to

train a new generation of Boeing workers who will replace the thousands who will re-tire in the the coming decades. The average age of an aerospace worker is 48.

Among those attending the event was Steve Hanson, president of Renton Techni-cal College, which recently announced it had received a $2.1 million grant from the Department of Labor to go toward training aerospace workers at the college.

Representing labor in the alliance is Dave

Freiboth, executive secretary of the Martin Luther King County Labor Council. He pledged labor’s support for the alliance and its efforts to keep middle-class jobs in the county.Dean A. Radford can be reached at 425-255-3484, ext. 5050.

at Renton airport

Boeing has begun producing the first Next-Generation 737 at the program’s new production rate of 35 airplanes a month.

The rate is increasing from 31.5 air-planes a month to meet worldwide market demand for the best-selling, single-aisle

airplane.Tuesday employees loaded chords and

webs manufactured by the Boeing Fabrica-tion division into the company’s newest au-tomated spar assembly tool, the first visible step in the final assembly of the airplane.

The parts were then joined to make a spar, the main support structure for the wings, according to a company press release.

Boeing has taken a three-fold approach to prepare for the rate increases on the 737 program. The company is making produc-tion processes more efficient by working with employee process improvement teams, increasing the production capacity with capital investments such as a new wings

system installation line in the Renton fac-tory and making the site footprint more efficient by moving some production areas, expanding others and decommissioning outdated equipment, according to the press release.

The 737 production rate will increase to 38 airplanes a month in the second quarter of 2013 and to 42 airplanes a month in the first half of 2014.

737 production now stands at 35

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

BY TRACEY COMPTON

[email protected]

Police responded to the threat of an assault involv-ing a handgun and Nelsen Middle School students on Oct. 5.

Apparently, one juvenile

challenged another to a fight after school, but he refused.

The aggressor challenged the other teen again while on school property at the end of the day.

A little after 3 p.m., there were reports of adults yelling at some juveniles adjacent to the school, but police were unable to locate anyone.

The student who was being challenged was picked up from school by his mother and they went looking for the other student.

When they met up with him, words were exchanged and the student reached to the small of his back and grasped what they thought was a handgun.

On Oct. 6, police and the principal of the school made an attempt to meet with the boy’s mother at school and she refused.

Disorderly at hospital

A disorderly patient at

Valley Medical Center tried to enter the maternity ward on Oct. 3.

A patient being treated at the center, 400 S. 43rd St., became combative with medical staff and security just after 7:30 p.m.

The patient, a 47-year-old woman, was heard yelling and swearing at emergency room staff, then she removed an “IV” from her arm and threw the needle to the ground.

Because of her behavior, security attempted to escort her out of the hospital and she began to call the officer names. Instead of leaving, she attempted to enter the maternity ward on the second floor.

Even though she was told not to enter the ward, she kept trying to open the doors.

Security escorted her to the ground, according to the report, and placed her in handcuffs.

Argument over eight-week-old

A Renton couple got into an argument involving their eight-week-old baby on Oct. 2.

The incident occurred at a residence on Monroe Avenue Northeast at about 10:30 a.m.

The couple was sitting on the edge of their bed dis-cussing child-care issues, while the wife was feeding their daughter.

The husband became an-gry with his wife and threw the eight-week-old onto the bed. Then he walked around the bed shouting and threw his shoulder into his wife’s shoulder.

She called the police.She told police that this

wasn’t the first time that she had been abused by her husband and relayed previ-ous incidents.

The man denied assault-ing her and said that he was being “psychologically abused” by his wife.

The wife was transported to the hospital for check-up as a precaution and the husband was arrested for investigation of fourth-degree domestic violence assault.

Police could not deter-mine that he intention-ally assaulted his infant daughter.

Dispute over messy property

A tenant and landlord got into a dispute over a messy property on Oct. 3.

The tenant of a residence on Park Avenue North called police around noon to report a dispute with her landlord.

She moved into the resi-dence in August and said that it became clear that it was infested with rodents and insects. She also said her landlord’s behavior was odd. According to her, he would drive by the property on a regular basis and stand on the property unannounced.

Police contacted the landlord and he denied showing up at the property unannounced. He said he placed a For Sale sign on the property, which the resident took down. He emailed a picture of himself to her putting it back up.

Both the tenant and the landlord agreed they would probably be in court set-tling issues over the rent.

Doris Brunner On October 9, 2011 Doris Brunner of Renton, WA went

home to be with the Lord. Born in 1932 Doris grew up in Kansas. In 1953 Doris married Junior Brunner. Together they had four children, Kathrine Alvord, Jacob Brunner, Donald Brunner, and Virginia Brunner.

Doris lived her life by her faith in Christ. She devoted her life to her family, church, and friends. This was evident in Doris’ character. Doris was selfless helping others whenever possible. She was caring, loving, always ready with a hug. She loved children devoting countless hours in the church’s nursery.

Doris is survived by her four children, four grandchildren, and three great grandchildren. Doris lived a full life. She persevered through challenges and rejoiced in the good times. Memorials may be sent to Highlands Community Church, Vision House.org or the ALS Foundation. We celebrate the life

she led on earth. 535893

BY ADAM MCFADDEN

Watch Lindbergh’s Matt Stuart, Cam Callen and Derrick Holt on the football fi eld and the connection is obvious.

Stuart is the league’s lead-ing passer, Callen and Holt are the league’s two leading receivers, and the Eagles are looking to cruise to the state playoff s for the fourth straight season.

Th ere’s no denying that this is a good time for Lindbergh football, and the trio of juniors has its fi ngerprints all over the transformation.

“Knowing the guys for so long, you’ve got that con-nection,” Stuart said. “Like with Cam I know where he’s going to be no matter what. Derrick’s a great route runner, so he’s always in the right spot.”

Callen leads the Sea-mount with 31 receptions for 430 yards and fi ve touchdowns. Holt is second with 18 receptions for 323 yards and four touchdowns. No other receiver in the league has more than 13 catches. Stuart leads the Seamount in passing touch-downs, passing yards and completions. Holt leads the league in kick scoring and fi eld goals made.

Th eir combined eff ect on the off ense has been stunning. Except for three defensive touchdowns in the Eagles’ opener against Marysville Getchell, Stuart, Callen or Holt have had a

hand in every single point Lindbergh has scored this season. Whether it be from Stuart’s passing; Callen’s rushing, receiving and passing; or Holt’s receiving or kicking, these three have made the plays that count for Lindbergh’s off ense.

Stuart, who stands 6-foot-5, took over as a freshman in 2009. He started at quarterback the second game of Lindbergh’s season (having never played junior football because he was too big) and never looked back.

“It was a lot on my shoul-ders at fi rst,” Stuart said. “I was there in the huddle, but the team still belonged to

the seniors that year. Last year I started to step into a leadership role more, now this year I feel like I am defi nitely one of the leaders of the team.”

Stuart passed for 24 touchdowns and made the second team all-Seamount that year as a freshman. He’s interested in playing both football and baseball at the college level. It just depends on the off ers he gets in the next year or so.

Holt remembers when he would play kickball with Callen in fi rst grade.

“We can rely on each other so much because we’ve been playing sports with each other since we

were little,” he said.Holt was the team’s

kicker from the beginning of the season his freshman year. He’s made four of six attempts this year, with a long kick of 30, and even aft er so many kicks, he still gets the familiar nervous-ness.

“My fi rst game I remem-ber I missed my very fi rst extra point,” Holt said. “Now I make sure to lock in. My heart starts pound-ing, but I’m just locked in on that football.”

Holt, who’s made a 58-yard fi eld goal in practice, hopes to pursue football as far as he can take it,

whether it be as a kicker or some other position.

For Callen, who’s scored rushing, receiving, passing and defensive touchdowns this season, it’s all about versatility.

“I try to be the best at ev-erything I possibly can,” he said. “I work on everything I can, that’s my mindset. Whatever helps the team, I’ll do it.”

Callen comes in at quarterback occasionally in the team’s wildcat package, and Lindbergh coach Pat

O’Grady said he’s also prob-ably the league’s second-best kicker. He just hap-pens to play be-hind the league’s

best kicker.Callen is also interested

in both football and base-ball and hopes to play one at the college level.

“Whatever comes to me,” he said. “I love baseball, I love football, but I love baseball a little more.”

Th e Eagles are currently riding a three-year streak of state tournament ap-pearances, which accounts for three of the school’s four overall appearances. Lindbergh also won it’s only state game ever in 2009, 52-21 over Ferndale (the Eagles lost to Liberty 20-17 in triple overtime in the next round and the Patriots went on to the state title game).

Th e accomplishments have also come in league

EASTSIDE CATHOLIC HANDS HAZEN FIRST

LOSS OF SEASON

Eastside Catholic did what no other team has been

able to do this season: beat the Hazen girls soccer team.

The Crusaders beat the Highlanders 2-1 Oct. 15 in a

non-league contest.For Hazen (9-1-3 overall,

6-0-2) the game was a good test as the team rounds into

playoff form. The Highlanders still hold the top spot in the

Seamount over second place Lindbergh.

"We set several goals this year; one we didn't was to go undefeated," said

Hazen coach Ken Matthews. "Nobody likes a loss, but our

focus has always been on getting the highest seed we

can out of Seamount."Eastside took a 1-0 lead

12 minutes in, and Hazen tied the game six minutes later when Dee Dee Green

found Sarah Schoville for the goal. The Crusaders scored

the winning goal with four minutes left in the game.

The Eastside (5-5-3) game wraps up a stretch of three

non-league games for Hazen. The Highlanders beat

Newport (4-7-2) 2-1, beat White River (5-5-1) 5-0 in the

fi rst two games.Hazen takes on Highline Oct. 18, Kennedy Catholic Oct. 20 and Highline

against Oct. 27 to conclude the regular season.

What is Joint Tenancy?Joint tenancy is a form of ownership in which two or more persons own an asset jointly. Upon the death of one, the ownership of the asset is presumed to pass to the surviving joint owner(s) without probate.

Sometimes joint tenancy is useful. But it may be inconsis-tent with the provisions of the Will and create uncertainty or conflict after death.

In other cases, joint tenancy can disrupt a plan to minimize estate taxes.

play. Kennedy Catholic has dominated the Seamount in recent years. Before Lindbergh beat the Lancers in 2009, Kennedy owned a 274-69 scoring advantage in the fi ve previous match ups. Lindbergh went on to win the Seamount title in 2009, the fi rst time the school had won a league championship since taking the NPSL title in 1984.

Th e Eagles fi nished the 2010 season in the fi rst round of the state tourna-ment against Anacortes.

Th at Lindbergh team not only boasted Stuart, Callen and Holt, but seniors Bakari Davis (Seamount off en-sive back of the year) and Diondre Toms (Seamount defensive back of the year). It also held high expectations.

“We expected a lot out of that team,” Stuart said. “With that team we thought we could win it all. We fell apart at the wrong time.”

Walk by the Lindbergh football fi eld in the off season and you may just catch a glimpse of Stuart fl inging passes to Callen, Holt and receiver Craig Yamaguchi working to make sure they don’t get that feeling again. So far, the work is paying off .

Lindbergh won the boys, girls and JV Seamount cross-country titles Saturday at Evergreen High School.

"It's the Seamount League meet, so we want to run well," said Lindbergh coach Jef Rettmann. "We're trying to hit the peak for districts and state, so we're still training pretty hard through this week and next."

Th e Lindbergh boys, who are ranked fi rst among 2A cross-country teams in the state, placed fi ve runners in the top eight of the race, including the top three.

Luke Garcia edged Mohamud Abdi for the win. Garcia fi n-ished in 16 minutes, 49.32 seconds and

passed Abdi just feet before the fi nish line.

Abdi fi nished in 16:49.78. Mark Garcia took third in 17:02.38.

"Th at was according to plan," Abdi said. "We were really trying to get one, two, three in the race."

Lindbergh's Travis Downen (fi ft h), Ben Platt (eighth) and Nathan Haley (10th) also fi nished in the top 10.

Renton's Aslan DaVault took fourth, at 17:17.24. Hazen's Conner Hall

fi nished in seventh, while his teammate Lloyd Bryan took ninth. Runners in the top ten earned all-Seamount League fi rst team honors.

On the girls side, defending 2A state champion Sarah Reiter won the Sea-mount title. Reiter fi nished in 19:47.62.

Th e Lindbergh girls also took the top three spots. Anna Patti fi nished in second, Jasmine Fallgreen in third.

Th uong Nguyen (sixth) and Eliza-beth Hansen (eighth) fi nished in the top ten for Lindbergh.

"We're just all trying to improve all the time," Reiter said. "Get faster for each and every race."

Renton's Joy Barnes took fi ft h overall with a time of 21:43.13.

Hazen's Keturah Slaugh took seventh to lead the Highlanders.
