Renton City Clerk Bonnie Walton laughs when asked what she’s going to do when she retires on Oct. 1. She’s presently on a long vacation until that time and so far she’s been to the San Juan Islands, had a celebration at Salty’s on Alki and still has plans to go to Hawaii.
It’s all a long way from Renton City Hall, where Walton spent the past 18 years, including 12 as city clerk.
“I think I will do something,” she said in an interview at Gene Cou-lon Memorial Beach Park recently. “I feel happiest when I’ve helped somebody with something, some-thing either volunteer or parttime, I don’t know. I’ll do something to still contribute.”
Walton came to City Hall in 1993 as an office assistant hired by Marilyn Petersen, the city clerk at the time. She had worked for 14 years previously at a private school called the Thomas Academy in Au-burn. The job in city government just sort of fit her needs at the time, having recently been a stay-at-home-mom.
Walton left the city briefly for a year-and-a-half while her husband took a job, but she returned full-time in 1997.
“Then when I worked there and came back I had liked the job,” she said. “I liked the people, I liked the place; I liked the work.”
Walton has served the city under four mayors: Earl Clymer, Jesse Tanner, Kathy Keolker and Denis Law, the present mayor. During her employment the city’s popula-tion has grown from 43,470 in 1993 to 97,130 in 2014. She was
promoted to city clerk in 2002 and was excited by the opportunity for ongoing education and learning that went with the job.
“My goal was to make things bet-ter, make improvements…” Walton said. “Every time you go to a class or seminar you get pumped up.”
She thinks most people have no idea what the City Clerk’s Office does. She’s quick to remind that her office “links citizens to their government, serves as a neutral office in the political arena, serves council, administrative staff and
citizens equally and provides city-wide information and referral service, including oversight of the Lobby Information Desk Volunteer Program.”
She also has provided legislative support administering the Coun-cil meetings, providing citywide records management, voter regis-tration and election services and duties and other legal obligations as a function of her job.
“Helping people I think is the nutshell of it,” she said. “Trying to put people at ease, citizens with government and learning and referring them where they need to go. I think it was just being able to help and know that it mattered.”
City Council has had to deal with some controversial issues over the years and for Walton the issues that will stick most in her mind are around the Fairwood and West Hill annexation issues, which caused her office a lot of filing, but they were also exciting, she said.
“It’s exciting and then a lot of de-tail to make sure you do everything right,” Walton said. “Just kind of a lot of interesting and varied things.”
When she recalls her days with the city there’s not anything nega-tive that sticks out in her mind.
“I think overall they’re a great bunch of people and everybody’s doing their best and doing the best with what they have at the time,” Walton said.

New season opens Friday at Renton Civic Theatre
“Educating Rita” opens the 2014-2015 season his weekend at Renton Civic Theatre.

The student/teacher relationship gives Frank a new sense of self and Rita the knowledge she’s af-ter. “Educating Rita” originally became a hit with
Michael Caine and Julie Walters and was written by Willy Russell.

Born July 2, 1919, on a wheat farm in Decatur County, Kansas, to Roy L. Lytle and H. Mildred Lytle (Dimmitt), Glee passed away after a short illness in Renton, Washington on August 14, 2014, at the age of 95 years. She will be lovingly remembered by her family, friends and former students.
She is survived by her daughter, Nancy Glee (Wolf) Osborn, grandsons, Kevin C. Osborn (Michelle) and Kendall C. Osborn (Lisa). She will be missed by her great-granddaughters, Kaitlyn Osborn and Quinn Osborn, step-great-grandchildren, Helena and Greyson McLeod and nephews, Richard and Roy Lytle and their families. She was preceded in death by her husband, E. Deane Wolf, her parents, her granddaughter, Kimberly C. Osborn, and her brother and sister-in-law, Meredith and Jeanne Lytle and their son, Tom.
Glee’s family moved to her grandfather’s homestead at Red Willow, near McCook, Nebraska when she was two years old. After graduating from Red Willow High School in 1936, she worked a year to earn money to attend Kearney State Teachers’ College. She received her one-year teaching certificate and began a long and successful 37 year teaching career in the rural schools of Red Willow County (11 years) and McCook School District, (26 years at East Ward). Taking night and summer classes, she received her B.A. in Education from Kearney State College in 1962. Glee retired in 1982, and she and Deane enjoyed traveling to all corners of the country, including Alaska and Hawaii. For several years they were “snow birds” in Arizona.
In August 2005, Glee moved to the Chateau at Valley Center, near her daughter in Renton, Washington. The community she enjoyed there for nine years became “almost” like home and she made many good friends. Her independent apartment was also near her beloved physician, Dr. Thomson. She enjoyed being part of her families’ mile-stone moments, attending Kaitlyn’s graduation from the University of Washington in June of this year.
Having struggled to get her own education while working and raising a family, Glee’s desire was to help others who wanted the opportunity to go to college. Memorial donations may be made to the charity of your choice or to the Wolf Family Scholarship Fund (McCook College Foundation, P.O. Box 195, McCook, NE, 69001).
A celebration of Glee’s life will be held at United Christian Church, (15509 116th Ave. S.E., Renton, WA 98058) on September 14th, 2014 at 4:00 P.M. Graveside services will be held at a later date, at the Danbury, Nebraska cemetery.
Some new faces can be seen at Renton’s Salvation Army. Major Kris and Ca-mie Potter have taken over from the previous captains, Chris and Lisa Aird.
The Potters come most recently from their five-year post in Salinas, Calif., which Kris Potter calls “the salad bowl of the world.”
The Potters have two adult children and grand-children.
Kris called their experi-ence in Salinas “incredible” in a recent interview and detailed what they were able to accomplish in Salinas.
“We revamped a senior program that was kind of slowing down,” Kris said. “We had excellent com-munity outreach programs to families, kids. We had a huge after-school program that was a real safety issue for Salinas was the hub of gang violence for several years.”
Kris explained how many of the kids there would be jumped into gangs and the after-school program pro-vided a safe environment for certain segments of town. There were between 100 to 125 kids in the Potter’s program from a variety of schools and backgrounds.
The Potters also provided a lot of homeless preven-tion services to the Salinas community through the Sal-vation Army when they ar-rived in 2009. That was right in the middle of a bunch of homes being repossessed there and property values changing.
“People were experienc-ing homelessness issues for
the very first time or at risk for being homeless,” he said. “We helped try and sustain (the) homeless. We estab-lished homeless prevention issues by helping people get permanent housing as soon as possible.”
“Yeah, it was really fun,” said Kris. “We had a great time and we were able to impact thousands of people.”
He and his wife, Camie, have been with the Salva-tion Army since 1993. Kris said they realized quickly that they don’t get to choose what they wear to work or where they work from year to year. They do choose their attitude, which he said is a positive one.
“Because the communi-ties we’re going to go serve in, they need us to be posi-tive and to come up with some solutions to problems,” Kris said.
There are no major plans or overhauls scheduled for the Renton Salvation Army under the Potter’s tenure. Kris thinks that Renton already has some phenom-enal programs in place. In July the Renton Rotary Salvation Army Food Bank supplied 1,995 people with food through its grocery assistance program. About
172 bags of food went to the homeless that month and 222 volunteers supplied 756 volunteer hours at the center.
Volunteers are key to the Salvation Army’s mission and Kris did say he and his wife would work to get all of the Christmas red kettle bell-ringers staffed by volunteers this year and not paid workers. That will be one of their first projects. The Salvation Army serves 900 to 1,000 families every year at Christmas. About 15 percent of the budget is the red kettle campaign.
“The bell-ringing effort as we move to an all volun-teer program, would really help us to put more of that money back into the com-munity as opposed to giving somebody a job, which is not our primary mission,” said Kris.
He described the vision of the Salvation Army as two-fold: volunteerism and community relationships.
“Volunteerism is what the Salvation Army has been about for its entire exis-tence and we have a great volunteer community here,”
said Kris. “The other side of that is our community relationships, whether its with other local churches or synagogues, or business groups…are a very impor-tant part of Renton.”
He hopes the Renton community will welcome he and his wife and share their individual stories about their experiences with the Salvation Army.
“We’re going to be en-deared to the community and we’re going to open our hearts and become part of Renton,” he said.

Two years after their money helped make charter schools possible, the Ballmers, the Gateses and the Nick Hanauers are using some of their loose millions to try to tighten gun laws in Washington.
They’ve made six- and seven-digit contri-butions to the campaign for Initiative 594, the measure on the November ballot which would expand the state’s background check law to cover most gun sales conducted at gun shows and online.
Their checks went to the Washington Alli-ance for Gun Responsibility whose strategists will, sometime after Labor Day, start spend-ing the dough on television commercials claiming wider use of background checks will bolster public safety without infringing on anyone’s Second Amendment rights.
The alliance can afford to wait because it is already getting a boost from a million-dollar ad campaign paid for by its nonprofit alter ego, the Center for Gun Responsibility.
Since Aug. 8, the center has been running dozens of 30-second commercials as part of an “education” campaign dubbed “Back-ground Checks Make A Difference.” The effort is set to end Sept. 5.
The ads stress the value of background checks for enhancing public safety but never mention the ballot measure that its political self is promoting. What’s nice about this campaign finance nuance is it also allows the Center for Gun Responsibility to keep secret the source of its money.
Center spokeswoman Molly Boyajian noted in an email that the nonprofit has received “gifts from local individuals, partner organizations, foundations, and our national partners.”
One of those partners is Everytown for Gun Safety, founded by Michael Bloomberg, the super-rich, ex-mayor of New York. He’s pledged to spend boatloads of money in every corner of the country to help enact tougher gun control laws and elect pro-gun control lawmakers. I-594 fits his investment profile perfectly.
While billionaires soak up attention for their prodigious checks, where is the Na-tional Rifle Association in all of this?
Is it possible the NRA, the established pulpit of the gun-rights movement, will keep its money to itself in this fight?
The NRA does have a political action committee to oppose I-594. But its coffers are pretty much empty. A significant infusion would be needed if the venerable organiza-tion intends to deliver a serious counter-punch.
The NRA did contribute $25,000 to its PAC in July, then spent most of it on staff, probably to have them survey the landscape. They couldn’t have liked what they discov-ered.
An Elway Poll in July found 70 percent of voters – many of them in the vote-rich Pugetopolis – “inclined” to back Initiative
Ode to the Seahawks Football Night
The Time clock is ticking downI grit my teeth with all my mightSomething big is about to happenIt’s Seahawk Football Night!
Pull out those smelly jerseysAir them out and put them onThey say it’s like a “religion”They are worn from dusk to dawn
Soon the town will be transformedInto shades of blue and greenThe seismic sounds of the 12th ManHave now become their “Signature Theme”
The Seahawks and the 12th ManAre matched up like an epic taleYou’ve got the good, the bad and the uglyIt reads like the “Holy Grail”
The Hawks are No. 1 in my playbookA cricle that has no endMay the unity of this Football TeamBring us the same results again!

An open letter regarding construction noise
This is my third attempt at contacting Char-lie Conner, president of Conner Homes, re-garding issues with the Cimmaron townhome project, therefore I am resorting to having to send this to you via the Renton Reporter.
Regarding the Cimmaron townhome project in the Renton Highlands: I live adjacent to this construction site in a residential area and would like to request that the loud music be turned down or preferably not played at all before, during or after normal construction hours. I have called some of your employees to no avail. The music is played so loud that I can hear the “rancheras” inside my home with all doors and windows closed.
Additionally, I have found long nails in my backyard, apparently tossed there by con-struction workers because they were bent and unusable. Please ask the site manager to speak to them and remind them they are in a residential neighborhood and reasonable noise levels and respect for adjacent properties must be observed.
In addition to several townhomes in my community being flooded last summer by your site, this is the second summer in a row we are suffering from Cimmaron’s “Desert Storm” ef-

?Question of the week:“Do you think the Seahawks will be able to repeat as Super Bowl champions?”
Vote online:www.rentonreporter.com
Last week’s poll results:“Do you think the city should ban medical marijuana dispensaries”
594. Three months earlier, in April, an Elway Poll found the level of support at 72 percent.
Things could turn quickly. They did in 1995 when voters initially embraced a gun control-type measure then rejected it. Of late the state’s electorate has been in the mood for reshaping society in ways the government won’t. They’ve privatized liquor and legalized marijuana, charter schools and gay marriage.
Last year, voters seemed primed to pass a food-labeling initiative until opponents shelled out $22 million to successfully defeat it.
The NRA can’t fork out that kind of money nor must it. Neither can it hope to succeed on its reputation alone.
NRA leaders must decide whether it is worth trying to convince voters in one state in the far corner of the country to
defeat an initiative, or focus on keeping members of Congress from changing the background check law for the nation. The next few days will be very tell-ing.

On July 2, a Renton resi-dent who had parked his pickup truck at the Henry
Moses Aquatic Center discov-ered that it had been stolen. He con-
tacted the Renton police,
and an officer responded and took a report of the theft. This kind of personal violation happens through-out King County every year, and as the Renton Police Detective handling auto thefts, I see how traumatic it is to these victims.
Fortunately, the City of Renton has taken proactive measures to help deter auto thefts and other crimes, and to help catch criminals who victimize the public. I had a new tool to work with in this case — integrated video systems and high-end cameras that the city has installed in public facili-ties such as Renton Transit Center and the Henry Moses Aquatic Center parking lot.
The cameras at the Henry
Moses Aquatic Center not only captured the actual theft but did so with such fidelity that I could read the license plate of the car that the two suspects drove to the scene. That car turned out to be another stolen vehicle that had been taken earlier in the day.
The image from the cam-era was so clear that when I distributed the photos, the thieves were immediately recognized by other auto- theft investigators. Both suspects, a 38-year-old Se-attle man and a 32-year-old women whose last known address was in Cle Elum, were arrested and have been charged with the theft of the truck and the posses-sion of the stolen car.
In addition to this recent
auto theft case, there are other instances where the city’s cameras and video surveillance systems have been effective. Recently, the cameras at Renton Transit Center helped document the events leading up to a stabbing. When a young woman was shot last year at Liberty Park, the city’s video-monitoring sys-tem provided important information on the actions leading to the tragedy.
The systems installed by the City of Renton are very sophisticated, with high-resolution digital images that make it easier to identify offenders. The video feeds are accessible from the computers in police patrol cars, allowing
City’s cameras help police keep us safe

officers a better view of dangerous situations as they evolve. Renton continues to upgrade older cameras and components to enhance the value of these systems.
Again, these video sys-tems are limited to City of Renton public facilities.
I believe these surveil-lance systems, along with our in-car recording capabilities, help us deter criminal activity, solve crimes, document police actions, and aid in the arrest and prosecution of criminals. They are only one tool, though, in the face of rising challenges.
In the past year, we have seen a significant increase in auto thefts in our region. While rates are up by a significant amount throughout King County, Renton auto thefts year to date are almost 44 percent higher than during the same period last year.
Older vehicles still comprise the bulk of our thefts. Many of the cars that we see stolen were manufactured in the 1980s and 1990s, before the de-velopment of sophisticated anti-theft systems.
Other newer types of vehicles, such as com-mercial vans and many pickup trucks, are targeted because manufactures have only recently started put-ting anti-theft systems into them, and because such “working vehicles” often contain tools or salvage-able metals.
While in the truck case, thanks to the cameras, we were able to arrest and charge the offenders, I’d like to stress that we’re all better off if these crimes never take place at all.
A number of auto thefts occur when a car is left running and unattended, or when a spare key is left inside the vehicle. Thieves can see the exhaust from an idling car from blocks away; they even have a slang term for such targets: “steamers.”
Even if you’re just run-ning inside a building for a minute, it takes a thief just a few seconds to take your car. If you leave a spare key in the car, even if it is
hidden, a thief breaking into your car to rum-mage for loose change can find the key and steal the entire car. And a simple auto theft can quickly turn deadly. Many thieves are under the influence of drugs, and once a car gets into the hands of a thief, it can become a 3,500-pound projectile in an instant.
Through innovations such as our video moni-toring of public facilities, the City of Renton will continue to work to better protect the public. Ulti-mately, it’s the actions of citizens working with us to protect what’s theirs and to look out for each other that will help keep all of us safe.

The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.
An Everett man was having a bad day at work Aug. 23 when he backed up toward a Renton Police officer’s cruiser about 15 feet away at the Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park boat launch.
Now he was going to wrong way but he stopped short of the cruiser. He
continued to drive the wrong way through the parking lot.
By now he had committed three traffic infractions, so the officer turned around to make a traffic stop. The Everett man sped up at “an alarming rate,” perhaps in an effort to elude the officer.
The officer caught up to him at the park’s entrance. The heavy-set driver jumped out of the driver’s seat, his face flushed and his mouth and hands clenched.
Traffic violations and ‘anger problem’ equal jail time

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 inconsistent 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.

into jail for investigation of attempted first-degree trafficking in stolen property. Charges are pending in Pierce County.
The Renton Reporter is not naming the three people because they have yet to be charged.
The Renton woman was the couple’s “fence,” according to Vickers. A can of the Similac for-mula costs about $30; the Renton woman paid the couple $15 for a can.
The woman told the couple exactly what she wanted them to steal. “Basically, she put in an order,” Vickers said.
Undercover officers developed a relation-ship with the couple, known to have engaged in organized retail theft, who stole thousands of dollars of formula during the investigation. That relationship led investigators to the Renton woman, who had previously purchased the couple’s stolen goods, according to Vickers.
During five months this year, the Renton woman purchased from investigators more than $26,000 in what she believed to be stolen mer-chandise. She told investigators she shipped the stolen baby formula to “her sister in Vietnam.”
The Renton woman was convicted in 2009 in federal court for Use of a Communication Facil-ity in Aid of Racketeering in a federal investiga-tion of brothels disguised as tanning salons and spas, according to Vickers.
“Organized retail crime is a growing issue for retailers and for law enforcement. We appreci-ate the opportunity to partner with Safeway and QFC; without their assistance this case would not have come to fruition,” said Renton Police Chief Kevin Milosevich.
[ FORMULA from page 1] Instead of getting back in
his truck, he took another step toward the officer. This is how someone acts when they’re get-ting ready to fight.
The two men struggled; an off-duty firefighter, described in the report as a Good Samari-tan, offered to help the officer. “Dude, just calm down, relax and let this officer handcuff you so he can talk to you,” the fire-fighter said. More struggling en-sued but eventually the 44-year-old man was handcuffed.
Two officers arrived to help, but even then the man contin-ued to resist efforts to control him. He ended up on the ground again.
He finally talked. It was about 6 p.m.
He was on his lunch break. He saw the officer behind him when he backed up, but figuring he was already caught, he just kept driving the wrong way. He ad-mitted he has an anger problem.
The suspect was booked into SCORE jail for resisting arrest.
Gas station robbed at gunpoint
The Chevron station on South
Grady Way was robbed at gun-point of about $450 late Aug. 18.
The suspect, possibly Asian or white, pointed a black semi-automatic handgun in his right hand at the clerk and covered his face with his left arm.
He told the clerk to open the register, then ordered him to get on the floor. The suspect told him to scoot back.
The suspect removed a small cash box from a cabinet. The clerk stayed on the floor until he heard the door chime.
A K9 unit searched for the suspect, who was described as 5-foot-6 and wearing a dark gray hooded sweatshirt and dark sunglasses.
Hidden bike stolenA well-hidden specialized
mountain bike was stolen Aug. 21 from a yard on Lake Wash-ington Boulevard.
The thief must have known where he kept it or maybe spent a long time in the yard looking for valuables.
The mountain bike is red, with a rack and pack on the back. A tire pump is attached to the frame.Dean A. Radford can be reached at 425-255-3484.w

The month of September is a good time for lawn renova-tion. The hot, dry summer was a good indicator of the problem spots in your lawn as dry brown grass turns up where soil is compacted or full of boulders. Dig down into your brown areas to remove any clay soil, boulders or gravel under the surface of your lawn. Replace clay sections
and fill in the space left from boul-ders with topsoil. Rake level then reseed or resod the area.
Another way to improve a struggling lawn is to fertilize now with a winter lawn food. The most important time to feed a lawn in Western Washington is September and October. You can also fertilize in the spring but a fall feeding will ensure our lawn wakes up early in
the spring to crowd out weeds.
Q. Can saffron crocus be grown in our area? I love to cook with saffron but it is a very expensive
spice! Anon, email
A. Yes! Saffron crocus or crocus sativus is an underused herb and easy to grow in our area.
You will need to order the bulbs online as I have not seen them for sale at local nurseries and you want to make sure you get the crocus for culinary use. Find them at www.dutchgrown.crocus-saffron.html and plant the bulbs as soon as they arrive so you can harvest the saffron this fall. These beautiful purple crocus bloom in the fall but should not be confused with the autumn blooming crocus (crocus colchicums) which are not edible. I suggest you plant and mark the location of the bulbs because after the autumn blooming the leaves will disappear. You will need at least 20 bulbs for a first year harvest but if not all the bulbs bloom this fall just wait until next autumn for an increased supply. To harvest saffron visit the bulbs on a sunny morning when the petals are wide open and pull the long red filaments or stigmas off with your fingers. Dry the threads indoors and store in an airtight container. Add these to a cup of hot broth or milk and let steep for 20 minutes. Now you have golden saffron for paella and Indian food or add this golden broth to mashed potatoes for a Midas touch on the
holidays. Saffron is the world’s most expensive spice but not because it is hard to grow – it is the hand harvesting of the thread-like filaments that makes it pricey. Even if you don’t intend to cook with saffron, add some crocus sativus to your garden for fall blooms in a rock garden or other sunny spot that has well-drained soil.
Q. I have a huge clump of phlox in my garden that grows about five feet tall and blooms each sum-
mer with clumps of white flowers. They smell wonderful at night. Over the years I notice I am getting fewer blooms. Do garden phlox need to be divided? Is so when. Thank you. L.S., Renton
A. Sounds like you are the proud owner of Phlox paniculata and the variety ‘David’ is a mildew
resistant white flowering phlox that blooms at the end of summer. This perennial needs to be divided every few years or it will become old and cranky. Fall is the perfect time to divide phlox and other perennials. Dig the clump from the spoil, cut off side sections into clumps the size of your fist and replant into soil that has been improved with compost. Be sure to retire the old center of the clump to your compost pile. Phlox can suffer from mildew on the foliage so give it a spot in a mostly sunny site with plenty of space to ensure good air circulation. A mulch on top of the soil each summer will keep the roots cool and the tops producing those fragrant, white domes of bloom.
Q. There is a vine that looks like a clematis that is huge and covering a shed in our neighborhood.
It is very fragrant and nobody prunes, waters or feeds this monster of a plant. I would love to grow it as a screening vine along a fence. Do you have any idea what it could be? M.P., Puyallup
A. Sounds like you have met the Sweet Autumn Clematis or Clematis terniflora. This rapidly
growing vine becomes covered with small but fragrant white blooms at the end of summer and into fall. It is happiest when given lots of room to sprawl and like all clematis does best in rich, moist soil with its top in the sun but the roots shaded – growing a clematis on the north or shaded side of a stump or shed is the perfect location as the top will head for the sunshine. Fall is a good time to add clematis vines to the garden and using this aggressive grower as a screen is fine if you don’t mind that it will lose most of it’s leaves each winter and dead brown foliage often clings to the stems. Don’t prune clematis now, wait until the vines go dormant in late winter or early spring. Spring blooming clematis should be prune just after they flower – and if clematis pruning has you confused just remember that all clematis grow best if they are never pruned at all – so give them room.

three times more likely to get it than men. It is a disease that affects the brain and spinal cord, resulting in loss of muscle control, vision, balance and sensation, ac-cording to webMD.
Brown has been in training for a year to prepare for the race and will ride 160 miles during the two-day period on the Perkins Coie Team.
“I’m very excited,” she said. “I just de-cided that this is going to be the year that I’m going to do it.”
It took her a little while to come to the reality that she has MS and embrace it, but now she said she’s taking it head on.
“I don’t have to be in a wheel-chair; I don’t have to look like a regular MS patient,” she said. “I can have this disease, but still live an active and healthy lifestyle.”
Brown is participating in the Bike MS event to support a friend, who was re-cently diagnosed. Brown realized some-thing wasn’t right when she started having minor symptoms like facial and body numbness and headaches. There were times when she was at a loss for words because her brain couldn’t think of what to say. She’s also had blurry eye-sight. Everyone’s symptoms look different with MS, she said.
Then she went to see a doctor, who confirmed it was multiple sclerosis.
“So, it was just the realization that, ‘OK, I have this disease,’” she said. “I have all the symptoms and there has to be a way where I can kind of take control of it and be healthy even though I have MS.”
Already an active person, Brown has incorporated more fitness into her routine and changed her diet. She now bikes, runs and lifts weights to stay healthy. Her doc-tor advised her to remove gluten from her diet and she has discovered an eating regi-men called the “paleo diet” that centers on fruits, vegetables and lean proteins. Brown has chosen to forego the typical MS meds.
“So, having a clean good diet and eat-ing whole foods, not processed foods, sugary foods – things like that – and also
incorporating fitness has really helped me maintain my symp-toms,” Brown said.
She feels more energized having taken gluten out of her diet and her symptoms have di-minished because of the actions she’s taken, she said.
And she enjoys what bicycling has added to her life.
“It’s a way that I can have me time,” Brown said. “Being a mom of three boys, you really don’t have time to your-self. Time to get out and just enjoy myself and get into the nice breeze and weather. I can think.”
Now she wants to be an inspiration to women, who are more likely to get the disease.
“I think having my voice heard is a lot better than silencing it, not saying things and kind of keeping it under wraps.”

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quan- tity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

What’s the one thing people who have had joint-replacement surgery say? “I wish I’d done it sooner.” That’s because it didn’t take long to get back to doing things they’d given up due to the pain.
If you’ve put part of your life on hold, then come to a free surgeon-led seminar at Swedish — where our surgeons do literally thousands of joint-replacement surgeries every year.

Despite the loss of five starters from last season’s girls soccer team, the Lindbergh Eagles are hoping last year’s leading goal scorer can return from an injury to lead them to the postseason.
Last year, the Eagles finished second in the Seamount League with an 11-3-1 record and narrowly missed making their second straight trip to the state tournament, falling 1-0 to Kingston in the district playoffs.
This year, Lindbergh will have to replace five starters from last year’s squad includ-ing First Team All-League selections Alicia Wasisco, Lindsey Pfluger and Liz Beltran.
“It provides a great opportunity for our returning players and newcomers to step up and fill those roles,” said Head Coach Ryan Johnson in an email, when asked about the departed seniors. “I’m excited about the
progress we have made this past week and can’t wait to see how this season unfolds.”
Despite these losses, the Eagles return their leading goal scorer from a year ago, senior captain Justine Yarington. After suf-fering a knee injury against Kingston, Yar-ington claims she’s ready for a new season with the Eagles.
“After I tore my ACL last season, I spent eight months rehabbing and was finally cleared to play a full game,” she said in an email from the coach. “This season I’m extremely excited to be able to play my first full 80-minute game in over eight months with such a wonderful and talented group of girls.”
As a junior, Yarington scored 18 goals and added nine assists.
The Eagles should also benefit from an
experienced midfield this season as they re-turn four starters from a year ago. Marcela Cardona, Mia Ramos, Zhane Spates and Morgan Earl combined for 48 starts dur-ing 2013. Junior captain Marcela Cardona expects the midfield to be dynamic this season.
“I feel like we will be really strong on the attack and defensively,” added Cardona.
Emmy Ayala, Kendall Goodman, and Veronica Hrenchir are also expected to contribute this season.
Led by senior Allison Fernald, Lind-
bergh’s back line will have some new faces in 2014. Robyn McLuen has moved from the midfield to help add depth while new-comers Valerie Yarington, Kiana De Jesus, and Smerh Reader will be called upon to fill the remaining two spots. Junior Elly Chambers will get her opportunity start at goalkeeper this season after backing up Liz Beltran and Audrey Cunningham the previ-ous two seasons.
Lindbergh opens the season Saturday, Sept. 6, at Kentlake.
