The Renton River Days parade began Saturday morn-ing with blaring police sirens and flashing lights. Police officers on motorcycles led the procession down Third Avenue as locals lined the street, sitting on blankets and fold out chairs.
A variety of groups followed ranging from fire fighters to veterans and pirates to clowns.
“I love it,” Marcus Lee Jones said of the parade. He attended the event for the first time this year to see his daughter perform during the parade with the Danger-ettes Drill Team. “I love seeing everybody’s community coming together and doing their thing.”
He particularly enjoyed the beginning of the parade with the police.
“I got law enforcement in my family,” Jones said.Crowd members screamed as the Seafair Pirates’ ship
float let out an explosive crack like a canon and shot smoke into the air.
“Everybody loves the pirates,” said Sean Levias, who has attended Renton River Days every year since 2003. “That big boom always scares the kids so we have to teach them when to hold their ears and everything, but it’s fun.”
Levias said he was enjoying the drill teams, the clowns and bands, with his favorite being the Seahawks Blue Thunder Drumline.
While the group performed, Levias clapped in time with the drums.
“I’ve been in drill team since I was a kid,” he said. “I
love bands. I used to be a drum major back in the day. It’s something I love and am passionate about.”
The festival portion of the event took place at Liberty Park with face painting, a petting zoo, live musical per-formances, a food court and several other activities.
The petting zoo attracted several children and adults who waited to take their turn at feeding and petting the animals.
Eight-year-old Cameren Brown asked if he could buy one of the goats as a grey and white goat ate feed from his palm. His mother, Taryn Lewis, said no, but bought him more treats to feed the goat with.
“This is what River Days is about,” Brown said.Lewis and Brown attend the event every year for the
zoo as well as the vendors and other activities.“There are a lot of things for him to do,” she said. “He
just enjoys coming down and doing all this stuff and eat-ing and seeing all the people.”
Peter Goss attended the Renton River Days with his wife and two children. They attended the event last year and decided to come again this year after reading about it in the newspaper.
“We love it,” he said. “It’s a lot of fun. The kids are old enough now that they really enjoy the kids activities and just hanging out and having fun.”
The Goss family also enjoyed the food court. While the kids went for the corndogs and ice cream, Goss said his favorite was the stir fry.
Overall, he said he would recommend the festival to others.
“It’s a great family event,” he said.Clowns riding a miniature firetruck zigzagged through the street, shooting water into the crowd. rochelle aDams, Renton Reporter
Most people in the U.S. can tell you what cheese enchiladas are or chile verde, but some might have a hard time identifying clado de bagre or feijoada.
The two are an Ecuadorian and Brazilian dish respectively and not found on most local latin restaurant menus.
Luis Argudo, saw an opportunity and jumped at the chance to introduce such fare to local residents with his restaurant Sabor Latino.
Arguodo is a self-taught chef, who came to the United States some 40 years ago from Ecuador.
Sabor Latino, which opened six months ago, is his second career act, as he is a re-tired welder from Seattle City Light.
Sabor Latino means Latin Flavor in Eng-lish and represents not an extensive menu but a culturally rich menu of flavors.
“We have food from Central Mexico, Central America and South America,” Argudo said. “That’s the reason we’re called Sabor Latino. We have all those different flavors from different countries.”
This idea is Argudo’s key selling point.“(I) want everybody to come and try dif-
ferent kinds of food; it’s not all Mexican,” he said. “It’s combined from all South Ameri-can dishes.”
The recipes are his and his business partner Samuel Athayde’s, who provides the Brazilian menu.
They are both helped with the cooking by Yara Garcia, who also provides input on the Mexican fare.
Argudo has been cooking and experi-menting since he was 12, he said.
Athayde learned from other chefs in London and Brazil, as a waiter and cook.
Argudo’s style is to cook by taste for a lot of his dishes.
“I was hungry and had to go in the kitchen and prepare for (myself) my own recipes,” Argudo said of his upbringing.
He can recreate recipes he sees on TV, adding his own bit of flare.
Cooking is his passion.Everybody he knows, he said, has a God-
given opportunity to explore and practice their talent, but most people don’t practice to become successful.
Argudo’s talent may be blooming late
professionally, but he continues to invent new dishes.
He rattles off at least a couple he is sure will please during the interview.
Amongst guests to Sabor Latino the Mexican Mole Poblano Rojo and the Ecua-dorian Caldo de Bagre are popular choices.
Mole is a well-known type of sauce from Central and Southern Mexico. At Sabor
Latino the mole is made with chicken and served with rice.
It’s rich, yet mild at the same time, but ul-timately enhances the flavor of the chicken.
The Ecuadorian Caldo de Bagre that Argudo serves is a catfish soup.
Not on the menu, but made for guests that know and appreciate it is Argudo’s version of Rabo Encendido or spicy ox tail
stew.The stew is again, rich but not as spicy as
one might expect. It is nicely flavored and marinated in Argudo’s special sauce.
He is secretive about what spices he uses to flavor and marinate the dish, but typically Rabo Encendido is Cuban with carrots, potatoes, and onions for starters.
From the Brazilian menu, the most tradi-tional dish is the feijoada.
According to the menu, feijoada was created almost 500 years ago on the farms of Brazil.
It is a tasty stew of black beans, Portu-guese sausage, pork and beef. At Sabor Latino it’s served with a rice, kale sautéed in garlic and butter and a dash of manioc, or ground yucca.
The feijoada, along with the churrasco or Brazilian barbecue, another bean dish called Feijao Tropeiro and a Brazilian seafood stew called Muqueca are served at Sabor Latino 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday.
The rest of the menu is offered 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday.
Business has been up and down since they opened, said Argudo.
He has received requests for private par-ties lately and will soon apply for a liquor license.
Right now, Sabor Latino serves beer and wine from local wineries and those in Chile and Argentina.
Argudo believes word is getting out about his restaurant.
“Customers started coming in, they tried it, they liked it, they come back,” he said.
He chose Renton as a place for his res-taurant and convenience store, Tienda Mi Familia at 216 Wells Ave. S, because he has lived in Renton for 20 years.
The store is just around the corner from the restaurant and gets a lot of retired customers, who prefer it to the long walk to Safeway, Argudo said.
He likes the downtown area and has moved closer downtown to be near his businesses.
When he came to California from Ecua-dor in 1970 he stayed there for about five years before deciding to move up to Seattle.
There was a lot of Spanish-speaking people in California and Argudo said he wanted to go somewhere he could learn English better.

A Renton man was arrested after a domestic dispute in a moving vehicle on July 24.
A witness reported to police seeing a man and woman in an argument while driving in the area of 16th Street and Ab-erdeen Avenue Northeast around 6 p.m.
Apparently the 46-year-old man was try-ing to throw the woman’s purse out of the vehicle, an older model green pickup truck.
Police found the 46-year-old woman walking west on Northeast 12th Street from Aberdeen a short time later. The woman
looked as if she had been crying and had redness and swelling on her chest and back.
Eventually it was determined that the woman’s boyfriend, the 46-year-old man, had hit her repeatedly in a fight and she got out of the truck.
The woman did not want the man to get in trouble and did not want medical treat-ment for her visible injuries.
Police caught up with the man later and
arrested him for investigation of fourth degree assault.
Suspect won’t put sandwich down
A Seattle man was arrested in Renton for refusing to obey police orders and resisting arrest on July 25.
A witness reported that a 20-year-old man punched another man in the face dur-ing an argument in the 900 block of South Third Street at a little after 9 p.m.
The 20-year-old suspect was spotted by police at the Transit Center and was very uncooperative when approached.
Police asked the suspect to put down the large sandwich he was eating to which
the 20-year-old repeatedly replied, “Say please.”
He eventually put the sandwich down, but would not remove the strap of his lap-top bag from around his neck as ordered by police. Each time they asked the man said, “Say please.”
An officer even got out his taser and demanded the man comply, but the man kept repeating himself.
Finally, two officers wrestled with the man when he reached for his left pants’ pocket. Officers later found he was carry-ing a multi-tool with different knife blades.
The man who was supposedly assaulted by the 20-year-old did not want to press charges, but the suspect was arrested for obstructing a law enforcement officer.

In the last week there have been three shootings in the Renton area, two of which were fatal.
Two of the shootings occurred in Renton and the third on West Hill.
The victim of last Friday’s shooting and car fire was identified by the King County Examiner’s Office
Monday as 26-year-old Ramal Richardson. His cause of death was ruled a homicide due to multiple gun shot wounds.
A Las Vegas man was shot at Richardson’s candle-light vigil last Saturday night, but survived non-life-threatening wounds.
Wednesday morning a 19-year-old died apparently after being shot in the chest at an apartment complex in
Skyway or West Hill. The shootings occurred
in close proximity to one another, but police do not believe they are connected at this time.
Police are still investigat-ing last Friday’s shooting, pulling area surveillance video, calling lots of people, looking at phone records, case reports from other agencies and doing lab analysis, said Detective Robert Onishi, a spokesper-son for the Renton Police Department.
Police are trying to deter-mine “who would be upset enough with (Richardson) to want him dead and who from that is responsible for doing so,” Onishi said.
Officers are making every effort to talk with people who knew Richardson.
There is only some
eyewitness accounts of people fleeing the scene, but Onishi said possible suspect descriptions are very vague.
Even the shooting at the vigil was not directly re-
lated to Richardson’s death because it appeared to be a dispute between his friends that got out of hand, Onishi said.
The Sherrif ’s Office
was still investigating the 19-year-old’s death from early in the day by mid-afternoon Wednesday.
King County Sheriff Deputies responded to the scene in the 13400 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Way around 12:30 a.m.
There were at least four other adults in the apart-ment with the victim when deputies arrived and en-tered the apartment. Four children, ages 2 to 7-years-old, were also sleeping in the unit. Two additional people apparently ran from the apartment, but offi-cers don’t know if they are suspects or were just upset because of the incident, said Sgt. Cindy West, spokesper-son for the Sheriff ’s Office.

The City of Renton will host a going away party for crime as part of their National Night Out festivities on Aug. 7.
The event will be part of the nation-wide crime and drug prevention cam-paign for the 29th annual National Night Out (NNO) event.
This year the city will offer food, safety games and party hoppers for kids from 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., at Heri-tage Park, 233 Union Ave. NE.
“This is a night for America to stand together to promote awareness, safety and neighborhood unity,” said Matt Peskin, national project coor-dinator in a press release. “National Night Out showcases the vital impor-tance of police-community partner-ships and citizen involvement in our
fight to build a safer nation. On NNO, we invite neighborhoods nationwide to join us in Giving Crime & Drugs a Going Away Party.”
Renton police will be on hand at the event for community-building purposes.
“National Night Out is an excel-lent opportunity for the community to get to know our officers, and our officers to get to know the commu-nity,” said Renton Police Chief Kevin Milosevich. “The personal interac-tions we have during this event go a long way towards building trust between our department and the people who live and work in Renton. We encourage everybody to come out and join us for this event.”
NNO is sponsored by the National
Association of Town Watch and co-sponsored locally by the Renton Police Department.
More than 15,325 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities and military bases around the world will take part in the event.
Locally, Renton residents are asked to lock their doors, turn on their out-side lights and spend the evening with neighbors and police from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., Aug. 7. NNO is designed to raise awareness about crime and drug prevention, generate support for and participation in local anticrime efforts.

N● Q U O T e O F N O T e : “Everybody loves the pirates,” said Sean Levias,
who has attended River Days every year since 2003.
?Question of the week:“Did you (or will you) vote in the Aug. 7 primary?”
Vote online:www.rentonreporter.com
Last week’s poll results:“Do you use the downtown public library?”
Scan this code and start receiving local news on your mobile device today
Time is running out to vote in one of the most important elections in Renton in recent times - swhere to locate the downtown library.
We’ve expressed before the importance of strong turn-outs to decide the issues of the day, to give the decision validity from a policy standpoint. Of course, the will of the people is always valid; but if that will is only made known by a relatively small percentage of voters, then its actual expression of that will is suspect.
That’s why every vote counts, especially if the true will of the citizens of Renton is to keep their beloved library over the river. A strong expression of public support would show that a big majority of Renton’s citizens are behind a solution that keeps the Cedar library and would send a strong message to the King County Library System that their customers, the citizens of Renton, don’t want to move their library.
The argument is the same for the new library west of the Pi-azza, a show of faith that it’s time to move on. We argue that it’s the most economical way to provide Renton with a state-of-the-art library downtown. That outcome would validate what the Renton City Council has already decided through the purchase of the Big 5 site and subsequent agreements with KCLS.
All we’re asking is please vote. Either way, send a message loud and clear. If the vote is close, then the losing side needs to accept the results.
Ballots must be postmarked no later than Tuesday, Aug. 7.
Are you a party person? That is, a Demo-crat or Republican? I find relative worth in both platforms, so my answer would be “Yes.”
My views of both parties are not those of a political scientist but my own experiences over six decades of studying history, reading, news and voting.
Republicans base their beliefs on the strength of the individual. They promote just enough government and taxes to handle the larger picture – law and order – both at home and abroad. They keep all 50 states aligned by passing and upholding laws that support our common rights under the Constitution, yet give states the freedom to enact laws unique to its citizens and territory.
Their basic premise is if you work hard and sacrifice enough, you will not need, nor have the right to expect, any significant help
from the government. For them, free enterprise, initiative and personal accountability are all the individual needs to make right choices and do well by them, with very little reliance on others or institutions.
The Democrats base their beliefs on the strength of the common good. They believe everyone is best served by going beyond the law and order criteria and extending a help-ing hand to those less fortunate – financially, physically and socially. State’s rights are often subjected to national laws promoting larger government and taxes.
The Preamble to the Declaration of Inde-pendence states “all men are created equal.” It does not say “all men are born equal.” Therein lies the rub and distinguishes the difference between the two parties.
It would be wonderful and fair if we all stood at the birth line with equal abilities – love from family, healthy, intelligent and financially stable. We would expect no less than the Republican view of the world that we are “all created equal.” But, as admirable
as that view is, it does not reflect our complex society.
The reality cannot be ignored. Many who stand at the birth line already carry a heavy burden – so much so they cannot compete equally in the race. Genetics and location play an important role in one’s intelligence and health. Additionally, children are born to troubled parents who don’t love or can’t finan-cially support them; or live in areas with high poverty rates and poor education systems.
But in order to even the odds, just how much support is enough before becoming an “enabler?” How much government and taxes can we throw at these issues before we destroy our country and future generations? As admirable as the Democratic view might be – that we should “all be born equal” - it is not sustainable and further can lead to a crip-pling society.
I believe that extreme positions never solve anything. They are a cancer eating up time, energy and money. Trying to adopt policies that should “fit all” is trying to govern a soci-ety that doesn’t exist.
As we approach the upcoming elections we should be wary of the extreme positions some political parties take. Our current two-party system, along with the Tea Party, is totally inept at addressing issues that confront our complex society.
It’s time citizens make political parties take the blinders off and see society as it really is, not what we wish it was. We should not thoughtlessly hand over our vote and financial support to those who want to represent us, just because we always have voted along party lines.
Our only allegiance should be to those who promote realistic platforms with brave and energetic leaders who think for themselves and are willing to negotiate through opposite ideologies to a fair and just resolution regard-less of party affiliation.

As Valley Medical Center has reached the one-year anniversary of our Strategic Alliance with UW Medicine, I am pleased to report that we have already increased the availability of quality health-care in our community.
In the July 2011 to July 2012 period, we have in-creased the clinical expertise and services available to our residents by expanding coverage at Valley in neurological surgery and thoracic surgery, expand-
ing education and training through the UW emergency medicine residency, standardiz-ing reporting for patient safety and quality, implementing a rapid process improvement program to reduce the costs of care and creating additional ac-cess to primary care, secondary care and highly specialized care
when needed. The coming year should bring expansion to on-
cology services, cardiology, urology, ophthalmol-ogy and several other clinical areas.

On Friday, July 13th my wife and I were on our way to Eastern Washington to go camping. We were driving my Ford F250 with our camper and boat in tow for a week of fun. We left Renton onto I-90 when suddenly we felt like we hit some-thing and our steering wheel veered to the right. We pulled off onto Preston/Fall City Road (no, we didn’t get far) and discov-ered that a main bolt in the front end was gone! We called the Renton Highlands Les Schwab and talked to Matt Cyr and Jeff Coville. They were more than willing to help and within 45 minutes Ryan Lewis showed up. Ryan worked extremely hard and had us back on the road within an hour. We would like to thank everyone at the Renton Highlands Les Schwab for their professionalism and GREAT CUS-TOMER SERVICE! They went above and beyond.Larry Martin,Renton
Downtown location doesn’t work
The clear choice for our family on August 7th is the Cedar River library. Let’s keep an icon that makes Renton special. Here are some thoughts to consider:
• Those who say we should have known the vote to annex to KCLS meant a new library in a new location are misinformed. The Renton City Council was continuing to discuss keeping the current location as a viable option 15 months after the KCLS annexation election.
• Don't give weight to BUSINESS-MAN King Parker's relentless focus on commerce. We’re not there to take our children shopping after story time is over, no matter where the library is located.
• The downtown farmer's market may be lovely. But proximity to an event held
one weeknight just a few months a year is not a reason to relocate our library.
• Smaller isn't better. Story times are already crowded, packed full of kids and parents. The children's play area inside the library could actually benefit from more space.
• Don't listen to claims that the Cedar River is the more expensive option. Con-sider that the Big 5 site can be sold. But if the Piazza is chosen, you'll be paying millions more to renovate and operate a so-called environmental center. Without an exact figure of what this will cost, we remain uninformed. Based on that alone, we cannot choose the Piazza location.
• Street parking and parking garages don’t work for families. Not when we can park in an onsite lot where there is always a space and no worries about exposing our children to traffic.
KCLS doesn't know what makes Renton special. We do. Don't let an outside force take away something that makes our city unique. Yes, decisions have been made – as the Renton Reporter points out ad nauseum. But the basis for this paper’s editorials and endorsements is flawed. Citizens can speak up, facts can be learned, opinions can evolve. Vote for the Cedar River Library.Jim and Christina Condelles,Renton
Cedar River location teaches a lesson
The oldest book the library over the Cedar River has is nature itself; the Cedar River is a living media. The Cedar River teaches us a lesson every time we go to the library weather it’s the trees around, the clarity of the water, and the cycle of life of the salmon among numerous other realizations and lessons. The state of our natural environment is important to everybody and the Cedar River, as a live media is an example. KCLS can provide state of the art technology in the library systems. In our world we need both work-
ing together. As part of Renton’s down-town library, keep the inherent living me-dia the Cedar River provides as a natural environmental message to everybody that goes to the library located over the Cedar River.Rhoda Green,Renton
Supporters of Cedar River location don’t have true picture
I don’t think the supporters of the “Over-The-River” library have a true picture of what’s going to be involved in rebuilding that structure to bring it up to the standards of a state-of-the-art library required by KCLS.
These are facts (compiled from the Renton Library at Liberty Park Rehabili-tation Feasibility Study – June 2012):
This is a migratory salmon river which is prone to flooding. Therefore, the following agencies may have to grant permits before any significant modifica-tions can be made to the current library structure. The WA Dept. of Fish & Wild-life has hydraulic project approval. The National Marine Fisheries & FEMA may be involved, depending on whether the banks or streambed are disturbed. The Army Corps of Engineers involvement triggers a “nationwide permit” process which allows any Federal Agency to participate.
The City of Renton must conduct a SEPA review & obtain a Shoreline Sub-stantial Development Permit (Dept. of Ecology). Other local agencies, includ-ing King County and Muckleshoot Tribal Fisheries may also be required to sign off on a rebuild.
The important thing to remember is that anytime the basic footprint of that building changes, or the bridge portion (what the building sits on) is altered it may very well trigger significant permit-ting processes which can be both time consuming and costly.
I feel safe in saying that rebuilding won’t be a stroll in the park. It’s likely to be a long drawn out process that has the potential to be short circuited at numer-ous points. The majority of these permits would not be required if the building is repurposed for another public use, reno-vation would not be significant enough to trigger the permitting processes.
I understand the emotions people attach to the current library, but it’s not cost effective to upgrade it to the standard required of a modern library.
Voting for the “Piazza” library gets the City of Renton 3 buildings – 2 brand new libraries; one in the Highlands and one at the Piazza. Plus – the City gets to keep the old library and repurpose it to another public use. Put your sentiment aside and do what’s right for the City of Renton – vote in favor of the Piazza Library.Brent Beden,Renton

In addition to the expansion of clinical services, we are working to reduce the overall cost of healthcare and to trans-form healthcare delivery. The recent Supreme Court decision on healthcare reform validates the concept of inte-grated delivery systems; a key component is readily available primary care. The combination of VMC’s clinics and UW Medicine’s Neighborhood Clinics has increased access to care in your neighbor-hoods and access to world class specialists when needed.
Valley Medical Center is committed to continuing the progress we have achieved in the first year of the Strategic Alliance. The shared mission to improve the health of the public has allowed VMC and the rest of UW Medicine to focus on expan-sion of services and alignment of best practices as we prepare for healthcare reform and the growing needs of our population.
The focus of the Board of Trustees, with eleven trustees living in the service area, is to provide oversight to the delivery of healthcare in our community. We will continue to provide progress reports to let you know when new services are added. Thank you for relying on Valley Medical Center for your healthcare.
Lisa Jensen is chair of the Valley Medi-cal Center Board of Trustees.
said, “Like most campaigns there are also people in the community going about spreading the word completely on their own without direction from our commit-tee.”
He was encouraged by the number of people who visited the group’s booth at Renton River Days last weekend and said he got a lot of positive responses and good questions from people.
Avery turns his concern now to just getting people to vote in the upcoming primary election.
With a lot of unknown or new candi-dates on the ballot he was concerned about Renton residents just not voting and miss-ing the spending measures, including the library site selection vote.
“We’re focusing a lot of energy right now on making sure people send in their bal-lots,” Avery said. “We’re trying to educate people that they need to get these in.”
People for the Piazza Park Library also had a booth at Renton River Days. They also experienced a lot of curious people interested in the library site selection.
“We had some people that had already voted and a larger number of people still trying to get the facts,” said Laurie Beden, co-chair of the group. “There has been a lot of misinformation given out, much confu-sion on the issue itself and they were very glad to get a clearer picture of how this all came about and the pros and cons to the two locations.”
People for the Piazza Park Library will also be out campaigning over the weekend and in the waning hours up until the elec-tion. Members plan to go “door bell with literature that will help people make the clear choice to choose to site the library west of the Piazza,” said Beden.
Whether voting for the Cedar River location or the west of the Piazza site, all ballots have to be postmarked by 8 p.m., Aug. 7.
It has been a tumultuous road for Renton libraries since the 2010 election that resulted in the annexation to the King County Library System.
In 2010, the vote was close with a differ-
ence of only 53 votes between annexation and staying separate from KCLS.
With the Cedar River grassroots effort essentially vocal and visible all year in their campaigning to preserve the Cedar River site, that location could be tough to beat in this election.
Meanwhile, the state Public Disclosure Commission still has nothing to report on complaints filed against KCLS. A number of Renton residents cried foul when the system sent out a letter early July explain-ing the different costs of the two locations.
The PDC is expected to decide whether to move forward with a formal investiga-tion in another week or so.

The Renton River Days Duck Hunt concluded swimmingly at the end of the three-day festival last weekend.
Several hundred people participated in the month-long hunt to find the duck-napped Dr. Ducky and a thousand more people participated in a scaven-ger hunt on the grounds of Renton River Days at Liberty Park.
“The great thing about the event is that it’s just a lot of fun to do period,” said Evon Fuerst, Duck Hunt coordinator from Lone-shark Games.
This year 30 ducks were spread all over Renton at businesses from Fairwood to the Highlands and vari-ous spots in-between.
Players had to collect parts of a ransom note at the different locations to find Dr. Ducky and once they got all of the clues,
they were given a second puzzle.
Duck Sherflock Holmes aided participants in their quest with online clues given weekly.
Eventually the clues led people to bring canned food to the food drive host-ed at Renton River Days. A can of food got Duck Hunt participants entry into a drawing for prizes.
Multiple businesses do-nated prizes for the contest with the most sought after prize was a brand new Kindle Fire.
“I’ve had a number of people tell me they do it for the fun and not the prizes,” said Fuerst. “There are a lot of families that do it.”
Three days after River Days and Duck Hunt organizers were recouping and still drawing names of winners as of press time Wednesday.
Organizers are already looking for businesses to host the ducks next year.

As increasing numbers of homeowners attempt to sell their homes without broker involvement, it is even more important to enlist a lawyer’s help with the real estate contract. At the very least, a real estate contract will include identification of the parties, a description of the property, clear terms of payment, some consideration (a deposit), and an offer and an acceptance. Most likely, both the buyer and seller will want other terms and contingencies. Usually, the buyer will want the sale contingent upon receiving a clear title insurance policy, and the seller will want an earnest money deposit to bind the deal. The terms of the transaction should be spelled out in as much detail as possible.
Whether you are selling your home without a broker or contemplating some larger real estate deal, you need an experienced lawyer to help you navigate the sometimes complex world of real estate law. I have years of experience dealing in all aspects of real estate law and can make certain that you don’t get any unpleasant surprises along the way. Please call 425-227-8700 to schedule an initial appointment to discuss the merits of your case. My offices are conveniently located in Renton and Kent.

Four martial-arts schools in the Renton area have collected $15,319 for Communities in Schools of Renton.
The schools are Kim’s Tae Kwon Do, Exceed Martial Arts, Ms. Mari’s Martial Arts Club and Lee’s Martial Arts Renton/Maple Valley.
Receiving the donation last week was CISR executive director, Sue Paro.
Last Friday students from all four schools broke boards at the IKEA Renton River Days’ Kids Fair in Liberty Park. This was the fourth
year that the students, dressed in bright orange shirts, and marched to Liberty Park to break boards with their martial arts kicks and strikes.
This is the biggest fundraiser for the schools: all the money goes to keeping Renton’s youth in school.
This year, students made a small detour and march past the Salvation Army’s booth to drop off their canned food donations for the “Feed the People, not the Ducks” campaign.

the Department of Labor to support the expansion of the new center. Increasing the capacity to train workers is a key priority of the grant, he said.
Renton led the lobbying efforts to obtain the $2.5 mil-lion from the state’s capital budget, in partnership with RTC and The Boeing Co., to develop the center, said Suzanne Dale Estey, the city’s economic development director.
“We want to make sure this is a legacy project for the aerospace industry and the
community,” said Dale Estey, who added the city’s sense is that the aerospace industry is in Renton for decades to come.
Boeing is already produc-ing its 737 at the Renton plant at record levels and that rate will continue to increase, to 42 planes, if not higher. At the same time Boeing is anticipating an increase in retirees, so it will need to replace them with new trained workers.
The goal is to complete the design in six months, then begin construction early next year, with the build-ing ready to accept its first
students in 2014, Dale Estey said.
The training center is part of a plan Dale Estey drafted in June 2011 to help develop and support the existing aerospace industry, includ-ing suppliers, in Renton and to attract new companies.
“It’s a very holistic ap-proach to try to make sure this isn’t just a cyclical phase but a long-term opportunity for this community,” she said.
The city is also capital-izing on the momentum generated in the state to keep production of the new 737 MAX in Renton; other air-plane manufacturing centers tried to lure the 737 MAX.
Alex Pietsch, the director of the Governor’s Office of Aerospace, said access to a
trained workforce is key to the expansion of the state’s aerospace industry.
“Given the huge demand for new airplanes over the next 20 years and with the large percentage of Boeing’s existing employees at or approaching retirement age, we need to be training as many workers as possible to fill the jobs that are available now and those that we know will be there in the future,” he said, pointing out that Boeing estimates there is a demand for 34,000 airplanes during the next 20 years.
“That’s why the Legislature felt it was so important to establish additional train-ing centers around the state. Given Renton’s prominence in the industry, home to the 737 final assembly line, it
was a natural location,” he said.
Before taking the job in Olympia, Pietsch was the administrator of the City of Renton Community and Economic Development Department.
The property overlooking the Renton Municipal Air-port is intended to have an aviation use, under the city’s plan for the airport, which totals 167 acres.
The building is currently about 3,200 square feet in size, but it’s anticipated the training center will need about 4,000 square feet. The building would remain on the existing footprint be-cause RTC wants to preserve parking for students and staff at the center, Dale Estey said.

A major closure of State Route 167 is planned for Aug. 10 due to an improve-ment project.
The 58-hour closure runs from 7:30 p.m. Aug. 10 to 5 a.m. on Aug. 13.
An estimated 265,000 vehicles will be diverted because the Washington Depart-ment of Transportation and its’ contractor, Scarsella Bros., will install a new fish-friendly culvert on Panther creek where it passes under SR 167 in Renton.
The work is part of a larger project for
future SR 167 improvements and will help reduce seasonal flooding to properties along the west side of 167, according to a WSDOT press release.
Crews will remove and replace 65-feet of highway to install the 19-feet wide fish-friendly culvert. They will also work on several other maintenance projects in the work zone to reduce the need for future closures.

Thank you, Renton –
For opening your doors and homes to me during the last 7 months as I’ve campaigned to represent our commu-nity in the State Legislature.
I’ve personally visited more than 4,000 homes, and in every neighborhood, you’ve shared with me your stories – about job loss and foreclosure; your concerns about the state of our schools and public safety; your challenges
in getting adequate health care coverage. You’ve also shared your hopes – about getting a degree at Renton Technical or a position at Boeing; about your child’s aspirations for college and your dream of starting your
own business.
I’ve taken every one of these conversations to heart.
I believe the title “Representative” is also the job description: the paramount duty is to represent you in our state’s Capitol on all these issues and more.
With my 17 years of experience in the private, public and non-profit sectors, I believe I am well-prepared for this job. I hope you agree, and if so, I humbly ask for your support and vote in the August 7th primary.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Bowman

After spending 25 years running several differ-ent hospital foundations around Renton, Kent resi-dent Lynn Bohart decided to pursue a new career in writing.
“I took a ghost story writ-ing weekend class when I lived in Oregon a few years
ago and fell in love with writing,” Bohart said. “A few years later, the woman who taught the class decided to publish a book with the best stories from her ten years in writing the class and selected my story to be in the anthology.”
After that, Bohart was hooked.
“I started a paranormal mystery novel and had
a few short stories pub-lished in ‘Woman’s World,’” she said. “When eBooks became popular, I decided to take that route and first published ‘Your Worst Nightmare,’ an anthology of creepy short stories and mysteries. Then, in June, I published my first novel.”
She submitted her com-pleted novel to Grub Street Reads, an independent group that reviews books against a pretty stringent set of guidelines. They don’t endorse a book unless they feel it meets their quali-fications, which include characterization, pace and consistency.
“I was absolutely thrilled to get their endorsement,” Bohart said. “It’s taken me
a long time to get here. I’ve revised and rewritten the novel multiple times, each time correcting structural problems, voice problems and pacing until I felt it re-ally was ready.”
Grub Street Reads en-courages higher readership of indie authors by provid-ing a quality standard for independently published novels. The Grub Street Reads Endorsement is giv-en to those books that pass an evaluation process based on the fundamental quali-ties of good storytelling, including well-developed characters, strong pacing, a well-researched world and a powerful overall voice.
“Mass Murder” is a paranormal mystery novel set in Bohart’s hometown of Sierra Madre, Calif. Detective Giorgio Salvatori is called in when a woman is found dead, hanging by her bra strap in the supply closet of the Catholic mon-astery. As a former New York detective, he’s seen the worst humanity has to offer, but he doesn’t have a good feeling about this case. Soon, his suspicions are borne out when a second body is found buried in the garden, and days later,
one of the monks is found floating face down in the duck pond. To complicate matters, the specter of a young boy who committed murder and then suicide back in the 1940s, appears to be sending a message.
Bohart holds a mas-ter’s degree in theater and currently runs the Renton Community Foundation. She also did a short stint writing for Renton.Patch.com. She will teach a class titled, “Writing the Mystery Short Story” for Kent Parks and Recreation this fall, as well as through Green River Community College’s Con-tinuing Education program.
“Mass Murder” is avail-able for sale as an eBook on Amazon.com for only $2.99. Interested readers can learn more about the author by visiting the Grub Street Reads Endorsed Book library at www.grubstreetreads.com or by visiting the author’s website at www.bohartink.com.
Bohart is currently work-ing on her second mystery novel, “Grave Doubts.”
Her anthology of creepy and mysterious short sto-ries, “Your Worst Night-mare,” is also available on Amazon.com.

Brian Anderson, operations director for the Emergency Feeding Program, instructs a Mercer Island VOICE/SVP volunteers on how to prepare bags for the hungry. traCEy COMPtOn, Renton Reporter
A resource for the hungry will now be centered in South King County.
The Emergency Feeding Pro-gram of Seattle, King County is now operating their main ware-house out of the former Greenfresh Market building in Renton.
The non-profit provides 2,000 bags of food a month to the hungry countywide. The program is leasing the space for two years from St. Vincent de Paul, which purchased the building last October to expand their services in fall 2014.
The Emergency Feeding Pro-gram has been open a couple of weeks and continues to facilitate groups of volunteers to pack their bags of food.
This past Monday, youth from a City of Mercer Island volunteer program were donating their time to pack bags and organize.
They are just one of the many groups who routinely help the program with their efforts.
There is no direct client distribu-tion from the warehouse. It is an assembly, storage and distribution site to other agencies that provide food to clients.
Last year in Renton, 1,650 emer-gency food bags were delivered to partners at Aging and Disability Services, the Renton Department of Social and Health Services, St. Matthew’s Church, Haram-bee Church and Daystar Baptist Church. The program provided 513 bags of food to households in Auburn, and 1,408 to those in Kent through distribution partners in those cities.
“The need out there in the com-munity is pretty great and it doesn’t really go down ever,” said Brian Anderson, operations director. “It’s pretty much a constant need for folks to make sure there’s enough
food on the table for their families.”About 1 and 5 households in the
state are struggling in this situa-tion, said Anderson about the last estimate he recalls.
The program experienced a 56 percent increase in the number of people requesting food between 2007 and 2010, he said.
“Over the last couple of years, I got to tell you, it has been a struggle to keep up with those requests,” said Anderson.
The Emergency Feeding Pro-gram is different from a traditional food bank. The clients that are served through other agencies by the program, typically have other
assistance.These clients could be on food
stamps or going to a food bank on a regular basis. The Emergency Feeding Program satisfies an im-mediate need for food in a crisis situation.
And, the program is customized to meet the dietary and cultural needs of the clients.
There are 15 different versions of the bags they distribute. There are small, medium and large bags for different household sizes. There are diabetic, vegan/lactose-intolerant and all liquid diet bags. There are three different types of bags for people who don’t have access to
a kitchen. There are two kinds of infant bags. And finally, there is a Latino, Asian and East African bag to fit the cultural needs of those new to this country.
“The idea is that it’s really not good enough to just give somebody something to eat,” said Anderson. “You want to be thoughtful about it. You want to give them some-thing that suits their nutritional needs and takes into account their medical conditions and frankly their cultural preferences.”
The program was started in 1977 and based on a study by a Univer-sity of Washington nutritionist.
The study found that the quality
of food at food banks varied based on the affluence of the community where food banks were located. It also recognized the difficulty of a family to get nutritionally balanced food at a food bank in a single trip.
The Emergency Feeding Program started with just three different bag types and later moved to address different dietary and cultural needs.
They purchase roughly 70 per-cent of their food and get about 30 percent from donations.
They also get funds from the cities of Seattle, Renton, Kenmore, Bellevue, Federal Way and Tukwila. Money from the state’s Emergency Food Assistance Program, private donations, grants and support from faith communities rounds out the funding.
The program has one large truck, a van, a paid staff of four and two alternatively funded staff to carry out their mission. Volunteers help a great deal. Last year volunteers logged more than 2,300 hours in their warehouse.
Although they would like to have a permanent space or long-term lease agreement, their primary concern is feeding people right now, said Anderson.
Coming up in September the community can help the program and others like it to feed the hun-gry. The Mayor’s Day of Concern for the Hungry is Sept. 22.
It is a grocery-store based food drive for area food banks, pantries and organizations like the Emer-gency Feeding Program.
Last year the day brought in 26 and a half tons of food for the Emergency Feeding Program alone.

Emergency Feeding Program now in Renton
As of mid-week, the garbage collection strike by Teamsters’ Local 117 and Lo-cal 174 continued to throw off service for Waste Management.
July 26 Waste Management gave the City of Renton a formal contingency plan for collection of garbage, recycling and yard waste for Renton residents impacted by the strike.
Even with delays, service for commercial and residential accounts continued Monday and Tuesday of this week, with substitute drivers now staffing the routes.
The strike does not affect residents served by Allied Waste/Republic Services nor does it impact the King County trans-fer stations.
Last week, the City of Renton said its Solid Waste Utility would not be issuing
refunds to customers during this initial period, as a collection contingency is in place similar to the city’s inclement weather policy.
Performance fees or fines may be applied for any missed collection beginning the week following a strike under the city’s con-tract with Waste Management. The City of Renton has said it will track collections and apply the fines should Waste Management fail to meet their contractual obligation, according to a city press release.
City solid waste customers are encour-aged to stay informed on the progress of the strike and service interruptions by visiting the Waste Management website at www.wmnorthwest.com/servicedelays. Questions or concerns should be directed to Waste Management at 1-800-592-9995.

The 13th annual Liberty Football Kids Camp ran July 16-19.
“The first year we had 13 kids, we had more coaches than kids,” Liberty football coach Steve Valach said. “Then we just kept doing it with the idea of lets keep getting kids in Liberty football t-shirts.”
About 80 kids registered for the camp this year. Valach said he’s happy with that total considering the construction at Liberty makes it difficult to access and park at the school.
The camp is for kids from 7-14, though Valach said he did bend the rules slightly so his five-year-old son, Elijah, could participate. Valach said the focus
is on having fun for younger kids, and improving skills for older kids. It also gives the older players a chance to be introduced to the coaching philosophies that they might see at Liberty in a couple of years.
“It’s good to be out in the community and make those connections,” Valach said.
Valach said he also has Liberty alumni come to the camp whenever possible. Defensive end Mkristo Bruce talked to the kids one day. Bruce was an All-Pac-10 selection at Washington State University, and went on to play in the NFL.

Derrell LakinDerrell Lakin was born in Wichita, Kansas on August 13,
1933 to Thelma and Henry Lakin. In 1938, they relocated to Bellingham and lived at Silver Beach. Derrell graduated from Bellingham High School in 1951.
In 1953, he joined the U.S. Army and served his active duty in Korea. In 1957, he began his career as a machinist at the Boeing Company. Derrell served on the apprenticeship board and worked on several interesting programs including: the Jetfoil, 707, 747, Minuteman, Lunar Orbiter, Lunar Rover, and the Saturn Apollo. He retired in July of 1994.
On August 23, 1958, he married Janice Jensen in Bellingham. They lived in Seattle until May 1961 when they moved to their present home in Renton where they raised their children, Tami and Scott.
Derrell enjoyed hiking, camping, skiing, elk hunting and fishing. He and Jan have gone on many trips, but his all- time favorite was their annual vacation to Kauai where many family and friends joined them over the past 28 years.
Derrell loved to keep busy and meet new people. He attended his grandkids sporting events, regularly walked at Lake Washington and flew the United States flag every day. He loved to garden, go to the VFW on Thursdays for hamburger night and hosted the annual neighborhood party.
Derrell was surrounded by family when he died on July 29, 2012 in Renton. He is survived by his wife, Janice of nearly 54 years, daughter Tami (Duane) Henkel, Maple Valley and son Scott Lakin, Spanaway. Papa Derrell will be dearly missed by his grandchildren Jeffrey and Alyse Henkel and Mac Lakin.
Funeral services will be on Monday, August 6th at 11:00 a.m. at the Greenwood Memorial Park 350 Monroe Ave. NE Renton.
A reception will follow at the Skyway VFW 7421 126th St. Seattle. 658303
