At a meeting Tuesday night at Tiffany Park Ele-mentary School, a room full of disgruntled residents showed up to listen and offer their comments and questions concerning the Renton School District’s sale of 21.6 acres of land to Henly, USA, a group
that wants to develop single-family homes on the property. The City of Renton’s Senior Planner Rocale Timmons facilitated the meeting.

In the world of high school football, players come and go, coaches come and go, even stadi-ums come and go.
But in Renton, there has been one constant at every football game for the past 25 years: stadium announcer Greg Salcedo.
Salcedo, an IT analyst by day, is headed into his 26th season as the voice of Renton Memorial Stadium. The gig may not pay much but it gives Salcedo the opportunity to do what he loves: stay involved in youth sports.
“I believe in youth sports,” Salcedo said. “Some people play golf, I come here.”
Salcedo said he started in Renton in 1988. About 10 days before the start of that football season, he got a call from Renton’s then-athletic director asking if he’d take over in the booth.
“Their guy just decided he’d had enough,” Salcedo said.
He jumped at the chance. Plus, he said, it was finally an opportunity to put those broadcast journalism course he’d taken at the University of Washington to good use.
“It was nice, doing this, that my mother could see the tuition was good for something,” he said with a smile as he prepared for the season’s first home football game, Lake Washington at Hazen, Sept. 4.
Salcedo, 62, said he has always loved football and played in high school in Everett. He said he does not have time to be a coach, but calling the games allows him to stay involved in something he hopes makes a positive impact on the students.
He also hopes to give the kids their moment in the sun and takes great pains to learn how to pro-nounce all of their names, both for the students and for the parents sitting in the stands. After all, he said, for many players this might be the height of their football career and they deserve it.
“They should have their names said correctly,” he said. “They should be honored for what they do.”
Salcedo sees his role as important to the overall atmosphere and the game, but wants to make sure he does not take away from the kids or the game.
“I’m to be the host here,” he said. “We don’t do play-by-play here and we’re not homers.”
Salcedo makes all of the announcements at the stadium but also keeps his eye on the action on the field. After every play, Salcedo announces the ball carriers, the tacklers and gives a down and distance for those in the stadium, but said he views himself like the officials: they are at their best when the fans don’t even notice they are there.
“The competition is on the field,” he said.And in his years, Salcedo has seen some good
competition. Through all of the league changes and classification changes, Salcedo said he likes the current mix in the Seamount League.
“We see a lot of good teams,” he said.Asked about the Renton teams he sees every
week, Salcedo said Renton was known for speed, Lindbergh for its “toughness” and Hazen for “a little more sophistication” in its plays.
Though from his view in the press box he does
have some advice for the coaches: “The tight end slant is open. It’s been open for 15 years.”
As for the competition, Salcedo also has a favorite.
“I always love it when Kennedy comes. They come with an attitude, but it’s a winning attitude,” he said. “Kennedy and Renton, these are the speedburners. And if you want hitting? Renton and Kennedy.”
Salcedo and his crew in the box, Mike Baccus, Dave Huff and Jim Boyd, also give ESPN-style nicknames to some of the kids.
So what was his favorite name to say over his time in the box? There was Sam Bash (“What a football name!”) and former Hazen quarterback Dover Perry (prompting the rhyming “Dover Perry on the carry!”) and their all-time favorite Cam Callen of Lindbergh, whose name gave them ample opportunity for alliteration (“Callous Cam Callen with the ball!” “Cautious Cam Callen takes it in!”) and always seemed to come up big.
“He was kind of like ‘The Natural,’” Salcedo said. “If they needed 10 yards, he’d get 10 yards.”
He also said the Lindbergh squads of the past few years have been exciting to watch and an-nounce.
Along with the teams, Salcedo has also lived through a major renovation at Renton Memorial Stadium, one that moved the press box off the roof and into it current safer location.
“You didn’t want to be there in a light-ning storm,” he said of the old box.
Athletic Director Brian Kaelin cited a story from before the renovation as a testament to Salcedo and his team’s dedi-cation. Kaelin said before a playoff game several years ago, the door to the old press box, which was accessible from stairs on the exterior of the stands, was jammed
and Salcedo and his crew could not get in. Kaelin called for maintenance, but game time was fast approaching. Maintenance could not get the door unstick so simply removed it from the hinges, leaving the crew exposed to the elements.
“Greg and the guys got in just prior to kickoff and went about their business as usual,” Kaelin said. “This is just one example of how committed Greg is to his craft.”
Salcedo, who lives in Fairwood (“I have no skin in the game,” he jokes.), said he enjoys the oppor-tunity to call the games and has no plans of giving up his seat in the box.
“The stairs have gotten harder to climb over the years,” he admits, but adds “But it’s the best seat in the house.”

Richard M. Stredicke, a longtime former city councilman in Renton, died Aug. 13 in Los Angeles. He was 78.
Stredicke started in city politics in 1969 as a “term-limits” advocate. He stayed on the City Council for 26 years and is most remembered for his work in acquiring and building Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park.
His tenure in office is one of the longest for any regional city councilman. He retired in 1995 as ef-fects of Multiple Sclerosis decreased his mobility and moved to Los Ange-les where he eventually entered a rehabilitation center where he focused on his love of sports, politics, maple bars and a good game of chess or Scrabble, according to his brother Victor Stredicke.
Stredicke was an active advocate of council efforts to acquire land for what would become Gene Cou-lon Park, the construction of the Renton Library in the Highlands and he was an advocate of better commu-
nication with citizens. A former newspaperman,
Stredicke’s initial candidate brochure was a newspaper tabloid explaining the jobs of city officials and services offered City Council. He continued this “City of Renton Report” when in office until the city itself began a similar publication
Stredicke was also op-posed to metering of 405 freeway access because he felt it just transferred the state’s problems onto the streets of the city by back-ing up cars on the ramp and beyond. After he left the council, we got metered freeway entrances.
Councilmember Randy Corman, who served two years on the council with Stredicke, remembered the former councilman’s efforts on Monday as he lamented the traffic problems and blockages today stemming from the meters.
Corman also told a story about his first visit to the council, prior to his election when an issue in his neighborhood led him to a meeting. At that meeting, Corman said, Stredicke was so helpful that Corman and his wife sent a thank you note. He also called Stredicke “very independent-minded” and said he recalled Stredicke sometimes voting the op-posite of the council just so the minority voice would be considered for the record.
“I think the city’s a better
place for all the time he spent here,” Corman said.
Before entering politics he published The Renton Enterprise which he later sold to the competing newspaper. Stredicke was a Highline High School graduate and attended Seattle University but left early to become news editor of the Highline Times in Burien.
He also served in the U.S. Army, stationed at Schofield Army Base, Oahu, Hawaii.
While news editor of the Highline Times, he met Janet McKinney, whom he married in 1959. The couple had two children, Diane St-redicke of Rhinebeck, N.Y., and Richard Stredicke Jr. of Kent. He is also survived by brothers Victor Stredicke of Seatac and Al Stredicke of Covington.

A newly designed natural gas safety bro-chure is being sent out to more than 1.1 million PSE customers throughout September. In addition to lots of important infor-mation about what to do if there’s a suspected gas leak, there’s a scratch-and-sniff section that’s a reminder of the rotten egg odor associated with natural gas.
To help detect gas leaks more easily, PSE and other natural gas utilities add an odorant called mercaptan to the natural gas, which is naturally odorless and colorless. Everyone in a family needs to recognize the stench, and know what to do if they smell it.
What to do if you smell gas:
• If a natural gas odor is detected inside or outside a house or building, or if a leak is suspected, everyone should get out immediately.
• Do not switch any lights or appliances on or off.
• Do not use cell or landline phones inside the structure or near the smell.
• Do not use anything that might create a spark or has a flame, such light-ing a match or a cigarette.
• When far away from the area, call 911, or PSE’s 24-hour emergency ho-tline at 1-888-225-5773. PSE’s natural gas techni-cians will respond imme-diately from our service centers at no charge to
check out a problem.• A hissing sound,
blowing dirt or bubbles in a puddle may also in-dicate a possible natural gas leak.
In addition to deliver-ing a “rotten egg smell,” the pamphlet also reminds customers to call 811 to have under-ground utility lines lo-cated before having any work done to prevent

The Federal Aviation Administration is seeking a new office building in the Renton/Seattle area.
“The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will be consolidating its workforce in the Northwest Mountain Region in one facility to better deliver their mission to provide the safest, most efficient aerospace system in the world,” Stephanie Kenitzer, public affairs officer for the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), Northwest and Arctic Region wrote in an email.
“The consolidation will minimize redundant resourc-es and increase operational efficiency,” she said.
GSA and the FAA are requesting a new lease to sup-port approximately 1,600 employees. The FAA currently occupies about 360,000-square-feet in several different leased locations in Renton. The new requirements are for a maximum of 300,000 rentable square feet of office and related space.
“The FAA Regional Office campus in Renton cur-rently house approximately 1,400 staff in four different but adjacent buildings,” wrote Allen Kenitzer, FAA spokesperson in an email. “This staff represent the administrative and technical support to support the National Airspace System in both the Northwest Moun-tain Region and the Western Service area. For example, the buildings house airport planners and inspectors, aerospace engineers, aviation technicians who maintain aviation equipment such as radar, air traffic manage-ment and aircraft safety inspectors.”
The maximum approved amount of rent for the space is $35 per square foot and GSA is responsible for the lease payments on behalf of the FAA. Then the FAA is responsible for reimbursing GSA.
The initial offers were due Sept. 9 and the FAA hopes to occupy their new space by Aug. 1, 2017. The requests for final proposals are due Jan. 5 and due Jan. 26. The final proposal will be awarded March 30.
The City of Renton is one of the local municipalities putting together a proposal for the building.
In a report to the City Council this summer, Econom-ic development Director Cliff Long said the city wanted to keep the FAA in town and was “working to do so.”
“It’s a very competitive process,” he said.

30 percent of the trees in the area. The sale of land is going through
the City of Renton’s public process and Tuesday’s meeting was one of the first times any of the parties came together to address any of the issues raised in the 70 comments submitted to the city by the community.
“I believe the City of Renton is not paying attention to the needs in the Tiffany Park and the Cascade neighborhoods,” said resident Marina Higgins. “I have seen the development of the Highlands and think the city is paying disproportionately more atten-tion and spending more city resources there.”
Higgins was one of a number of people who spoke up about their con-cerns with the new development. She also attended a meeting of the Renton School Board before the sale of the property and expressed her concerns there. She said she felt slighted at that meeting too, as if the decision had
already been made to sell the land without much community input.
School Board Director Lynn Des-marais was at Tuesday’s meeting in her official capacity and as a Tiffany Park resident.
“I thought the city staff did a good job of keeping the meeting focused on its purpose, which is their process going forward, while responding to many of the related questions,” she said. “I attended the meeting last night as a school board director, but also as a longtime resident of the neighbor-hood as it has been my home for 33 years, so I do understand and care about the concerns of the community.
“I also care about the Renton School District as a whole, and the decision to sell the property was based on the long-term interests of the district as it is growing and changing,” she continued.
Many of the concerns that have been brought up have to do with traffic, environmental impact, and
drainage issues residents have with the client’s proposal.
“The city now has an opportunity to listen to us and to limit the variances they grant for this proposed develop-ment,” said Higgins. “This land is rich with bird habitat and wetlands and it would be good if the city preserved these characteristics.”
The next step is the issuance of the State Environmental Protection Act threshold determination or SEPA, which is set for Sept. 26. That will de-termine whether the project meets the state’s environmental regulations.
“The city held [Tuesday’s] com-munity meeting in an effort to assists in channeling people’s questions and concerns into the public process so they are heard by the decision mak-ers,” said Timmons.
Timmons would not speculate on whether Henly, USA, would be able to satisfy all the concerns that were raised about the project.

“We’re just kind of out here hanging in the wind,” Prince said at a committee meeting Sept. 4.
Initially, the committee discussed an outright ban on medical marijuana, but members of the council and administration were concerned the city would be going against voters, who approved medical marijuana.
Instead, the moratorium
will be extended in hopes the legislature addresses the issue, which means that things will stay the same for patients and providers currently in the city.
“We don’t want to sub-vert the will of the voters,” Prince said Monday. “We’re extending the moratorium to continue the status quo.”
At Monday’s council meeting, nine people either spoke or said they agreed with another speaker, asking the city not to ban
medical marijuana. A ban would have put at least two collective gardens presently operating in Renton out of business and owners and patients of both gardens made their case for keeping the gardens open.
During discussion of the extension, Mayor Denis Law said the city was in a difficult position and was not at all weighing in on the merits of medical mari-
juana, but because the legis-lature has not dealt with the issue, it is still illegal for the city to address the issue for licensing and zoning purposes.
“The public clearly has voted that they want the dispensaries,” Law said. “The state needs to get off dead center and figure out how they’re going to regu-late it, because we do not have the authority to do it.”

The battle for state legislative seats this fall will be fought in part with hundreds of thou-sands of dollars in donations recycled from the campaigns of incumbent lawmakers.
Since May, nearly $2.8 million has been collected by the Democratic and Republican caucuses in the state House and Senate from members up for election this year.
That money comes out of surplus accounts where lawmakers stash excess contributions, funds they do not need to spend because they face little or no opposition but want to use to help elect others of their party.
Not surprisingly, caucus leaders are among those recycling the largest sums. They hold positions of power, and in politics nothing attracts money quite like the scent of power.
On the Democratic side, House Speaker Frank Chopp, D-Seattle, has provided $80,000 to the House Democratic Campaign Committee, and Senate Minority Leader Sharon Nelson, D-Maury Island, has turned
in $87,000 to the political operation of her caucus.
Among Republicans, House Minority Leader Dan Kristiansen, R-Snohomish, and Sen. Jim Honeyford, R-Sunnyside, have each given $135,000 to their respective
caucuses since spring. Both lawmakers are unopposed in November.
Giving back in this manner is an expecta-tion in each of the four caucuses and has reached the point where members feel a sort of peer pressure to give.
It’s also an election ritual which experi-enced donors understand offers another way of participating in campaigns. They realize when they give to an incumbent who doesn’t need the money, their dollars could wind up assisting other candidates, and it’s all kosher.
Kristiansen’s experience is instructive on how this all works.
Until this year, he had never raised $150,000 for a campaign. He’s already topped $180,000 — a gain he says is no doubt due in part to his “new capacity” as House Minority Leader.
Kristiansen’s been assured of re-election since May, when no one filed to run against him. Yet contributions, many unsolicited, flowed into his campaign coffer through the August primary as if he was fighting for his political life. Many donors gave him the maximum $1,900 for the primary and gen-eral elections combined.
Donations from locals will be kept in his surplus account for future campaigns, he said. Money received from outside the area is what he’s transferred to the House Republican Organizational Committee to aid GOP candidates in Snohomish County and around the state, he said. So far that’s added up to $135,000.
Kristiansen’s experience is typical of mem-bers in all four caucuses in the House and Senate. The House Democratic Campaign Committee leads all with $1.1 million in
City of Renton doing plenty to help the city’s homeless
In the past, I have been very critical of how the City of Renton government has handled crime and human services issues. I live on Burnett and I have never had a problem with the people going and coming from the Renton Salvation Army Church for the Renton Com-munity Supper.
I have also attended the supper, and the people there are families, seniors, veterans, people out of work, people who I see every day in the community. I did not meet dealers and ne’er-do-wells. It is also unlikely that a home-less person elsewhere in King County is going to spend bus fare or gas just to come to Renton for a free dinner.
I would challenge the notion that the city takes a “hands-off approach to homelessness.” The city supported the construction of the Compass Center veterans housing on South Second Street and Whitworth Avenue, a num-ber of the City Council members and Chief Milosevich are on or have been on the board of the Salvation Army; multiple other mem-bers of the city government and staff are also actively involved.
The city has also supported the ARISE program, which is a rotating, interfaith men’s shelter, administered by Catholic Community Services in partnership with REACH (Renton
Ecumenical Association of Churches). REACH also established the REACH Center of Hope at Renton City Hall where the Renton jail used to be. The Center of Hope is a drop-in day shelter for women and children; overnight shelter locations rotate in a similar model to ARISE.
We can see that the City of Renton govern-ment is actively engaged with community-based organizations and has a hands-on approach to homelessness in our community. The city also collaborates with the Renton Housing Authority, a partnership that is key in the revitalization of the Sunset Neighborhood, a project that aims to provide mixed housing and better access to services.
We know that when people are more active in communities that crime goes down. The solution isn’t police watching the trail; the so-lution has to be a community-based approach that can be sustained.
When people know their neighbors and use parks and trails, it reduces crime. I walk in the community every day, I use the Cedar River Trail almost every day and I have not seen an increase in sketchy activity, criminals or drug paraphernalia. The Renton Senior Center, the community garden and Jones Park all present opportunities for a more collaborative, interac-tive community.

transfers from lawmakers since June. Eight members, including Chopp, gave at least $50,000.
Voters probably didn’t antici-pate such behavior when they approved Initiative 134 in 1992 to reform the state’s campaign finance system.
That measure did permit lawmakers to make transfers from their surplus accounts
to caucus committees. But the newly formed Public Disclosure Commission determined that the initiative limited the amount to the maximum for a contribu-tion to a candidate.
In other words, a lawmaker would be allowed to give no more to the caucus than they could someone running for office — which today would be
$1,900.The Legislature amended the
law in 1995 to scrub the limit, and lawmakers have been active recyclers ever since.Political reporter Jerry Corn-field’s blog, The Petri Dish, is at www.heraldnet.com. Contact him at 360-352-8623; [email protected] and on Twitter at @dospueblos.

the custody of his mother so he could re-turn to school. He was arrested Sunday.
Andrew’s family, asking for privacy, is-sued a statement Tuesday through Harbor-view Medical Center.
“It is with a heavy heart that we share the death of our beloved Andrew. His amazing character and energy will be greatly missed. Our prayers go out to the family of the driver – this was a tragic accident affecting many. We respectfully and firmly request privacy at this very difficult time.”
Finnell was a senior at the Renton School District’s Secondary Learning Center.
“The school has additional counsel-ors available to speak with and console students and staff,” said district spokesman Randy Matheson.
The district is also working with Owen’s family “to decide on an appropriate educa-tional setting,” he said.
Andrew’s family and friends helped officers locate Owens by looking at his Facebook page.
It was about 5:40 p.m. on Sunday when Andrew, riding his skateboard on Northeast First Place, saw a white Dodge Magnum approach him from behind, ac-cording to court documents. He put up his arm behind him, his palm up, to signal the
driver to slow down or back away.But the driver continued, striking An-
drew and causing life-threatening injuries.Andrew’s brother Spencer Finnell and
Rhyan Demile were nearby. As the Mag-num approached him, Spencer slammed his hands on the car and asked the driver, “Why did you hit my brother?” The driver asked him why his brother was on the street. Spencer didn’t answer but again
asked him why he hit his brother.Spencer turned to help his brother,
thinking the driver would stay. But the driver left, without providing information, checking Andrew for injuries or calling for aid, according to court documents.
Rhyan thought he recognized the driver as a current or former Hazen High School student.
Andrew was treated and taken to Har-borview.
Neighbors directed investigators to a house on nearby Whitman Place Northeast, where a white Magnum has parked.
The Magnum was parked in the garage, close to a porch that leads into the home. An officer noticed some damage, but a resident told the officer she has no high-
school-age children, according to court documents.
By now Andrew’s brother and friends had come up with the name of a possible suspect. Rhyan Demile confirmed the suspect was the driver when he looked at Owens’ Facebook page.
Investigators were notified and went to address associated with Owens’ name. They were told the white Magnum belonged to Owens’ mother, who officers had contacted earlier on Whitman Place.
As officers stood by, the garage door opened and the Magnum was inside. Hu-man flesh was noticed on the car.
Inside the home, Owens admitted to of-ficers he had hit Andrew while driving the Magnum and then fled.

The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.
A 33-year-old Renton man was robbed at gunpoint Aug. 28 outside his home of about $400, including his winnings at a casino in downtown Renton.
Investigating officers suspected the robbery by four men, including one armed with a pistol, wasn’t random because he had just left the casino and may have been followed.
Security footage at the casino showed a man particularly interested in the victim and his winnings and when the victim left, he texted someone.
However, the 24-year-old man became defensive and said he wasn’t in the casino at the time the victim gambled but the time-dated video indicated otherwise.
He refused to show the officer his phone to determine whether he had texted and ended the interview.
The four men pushed the victim to the ground after he had just moved a garbage can from the street to the side of the house. They had heavy accents and scarves obscured their faces.
He gave one of them his car keys and wallet. They stole a wallet full of gift cards from the car. A neighbor saw them drive off in a dark sedan.
Records showed that someone began using his credit cards almost immediately.
A BELLIGERENT MAN: A 37-year-old Renton man got in-creasingly belligerent with officers Aug. 29 when they tried to question him about a harassment report.
The man was already yelling and swearing into his cell phone when an officer approached him at about 8:15 p.m. He got out a device to record the interview, which he said was his right. The officer also recorded the interview.
The suspect wouldn’t get off the phone.“I don’t want to get killed here,” said the man, who is
white. The officer asked who was going to kill him.“You guys are the threat. Just like Missouri,” referring to
the police-involved shooting of a black teenager in Fergu-son, Mo.
The officer told him there was no reason to hurt him.
“You will,” the man responded.The officer could smell alcohol on the man’s breath. The
officer placed him in handcuffs after he acted like he was getting ready to fight.
A crowd of about 15 people gathered, drawn by the suspect’s yelling, cussing and screaming. He was positively identified by the woman who told officers he had threat-ened her.
He was arrested for investigation of breach of peace. He threatened to murder the officer and family; a spit sock was placed over his head. The officer amended the possible charge to disorderly conduct.
On the way to the SCORE regional jail, the suspect described in detail how he intended to kill police officers, mainly the officer transporting him.
HE NEEDS TO BACK OFF: A 59-year-old Seattle man who inserted himself into an interview a police officer was con-ducting Aug. 29 outside Wal-Mart just couldn’t leave well enough alone.
Clearly, the man had no connection to the interview, but became defensive and argumentative when asked to step away. He called the officer a retard and swore at him.
He walked off, then returned less than a minute later. He finally left but returned, circling back toward them on his bike. He rode directly in front of another officer’s cruiser, which stopped abruptly.
He took a fighting stance but was handcuffed by the two officers.
The suspect, who is white, called the officers racist and ranted about the police shooting in Ferguson, Mo.
He claimed he was being raped while he was searched. His breath smelled strongly of beer.
He was booked into the SCORE regional jail for fourth-degree assault.
SHOPLIFTER CAUGHT AFTER CHASE: Officers were already in the parking lot of Fred Meyer downtown Aug. 30 arresting a burglary suspect when they heard screams the store had been robbed and the suspects were running.
Officers caught up with one of the runners at an apart-ment complex on Maple Avenue Southwest, just as another suspect approached carrying Fred Meyer merchandise in bags. He turned and ran after ignoring an officer’s com-mands to get on the ground.
Two officers pursued the 23-year-old Seattle man on foot. One officer was hurt when he threw the bags at her, hitting her in the face. She told the other officer to continue the foot pursuit. She was later treated at Valley Medical Center.
The suspect’s loosely fitting pants fell to his mid thighs as he ran The injured officer had caught up by now and as-sisted in taking the suspect into custody after she hit him in the back of the head to get him to relax.
Stuffed down the legs of his pants were packages of un-derwear, a new pair of jeans and a pair of new tennis shoes.
Then there was the merchandise in his two bags.He was apologetic. He told officers he was homeless
and had bought the clothes on the street from a “booster,” admitting the clothes has probably been stolen.
The recovered items were returned to Fred Meyer. The Seattle man was booked into the SCORE regional jail for obstructing officers.
BOTH FIGHTERS CITED: Two men were cited for fourth-degree assault Aug. 29 in Kennydale after they fought over payment for the construction work one was doing for the other.
The subcontractor from Renton claims he’s owed $3,000 for the work, but the other man, who lives in Seattle, says payment isn’t due until the work is finished.
The subcontractor says he was called a racial epithet, which the other man denied. Blows were exchanged. Both men were cited and charges were referred to a prosecutor.
SHE INGESTED HEROIN: A 25-year-old Des Moines woman swayed, felt very hot and became nauseated after she was arrested Aug. 19 at Wal-Mart downtown for possessing heroin.
She needed to see a doctor. A doctor would check her at the SCORE regional jail. But she didn’t want to wait. Just before her arrest, she swallowed heroin and several methodone pills.
The officer drove her to Valley Medical Center, where she was X rayed. Inside her stomach was a large piece of metal – the clip used to secure the bag of heroin.
Surgeons operated immediately.The woman had been stopped for shoplifting; a records
check showed a felony warrant for drug possession.In a search, officers found a small amount of a brown-
liquid substance or heroin. A small purse contained capped and uncapped needles, two of which contained heroin.
She hadn’t shot up yet because she was interrupted after she went into the Wal-Mart restroom.
Officers also found a drivers license belonging to another woman. She was released pending the filing of charges.
SHOPLIFTER MAKES CLEAN GETAWAY: A security officer at Fred Meyer on the Benson Highway arriving at the start of his day Aug. 26 spotted a known shoplifter in the parking lot.
He followed as the man walked in, grabbed a shopping cart and walked to the vacuum cleaners. The suspect put two Shark Rocket vacuums, valued at $200 each, into the cart and removed the alarms.
He then pushed the cart out of the store without paying. He drove off in a late-model, mint-green Honda Civic. The security officer took down a license plate number.
The suspect is described as a white male, mid 30s, about 6-foot-2 and weighing 215 pounds who looks like a foot-ball player. His sandy-colored hair is cut in a short crew cut.
Investigators have security video of the theft.

Last Saturday the Skyway community turned out to celebrate an unsung hero of 18 years at Renton Area Youth Services family center.
Her name is Cynthia Green and to many in that com-munity she means a great deal. She has been the front desk program assistant for RAYS, but one of her supervisors, Morgan Wells, will tell you that her title never really cap-tured what Green did.
“Cynthia was a really exceptional person,” said Wells. “She touched a lot of people here and I think her impact is felt far beyond these walls. And it was just a great oppor-tunity to stop and celebrate her and, like I said, mark her legacy going forward.
RAYS renamed their family center the Cynthia A. Green Family Center, set up an emergency basic needs fund in her name and King County proclaimed Sept. 6 “Cynthia Green Day.”
Green manned the front desk for RAYS at their Skyway location, but more than that she listened to peoples’ stories and helped them access resources for years.
“If we didn’t know where the resource was, she would make phone calls until she found something to help,” said Wells.
Green is also responsible for RAYS (Kinship Caregivers
Support Group.) It’s basically a network of relatives helping relatives keeping kids out of foster care. Wells reports that there are 35 families in their present network, but hun-dreds more that they don’t know about. It is the biggest and most successful kinship network in the county. Green was awarded, also on Saturday, a PhD Award for Persistence, Hope and Determination by the Kinship Network of King County.
“My mother’s work with RAYs continues to reverber-ate across the Skyway/West Hill Community via the many lives she touched during her time at the center,” said her son Marcus, in an email. “She is, and remains, a matriarch to the community and the dedication of the building pays testimony to that.”
Many dignitaries and officials turned out for the dedica-tion on Saturday, including RAYS Board of Directors, Carolyn Parnell; Richard Brooks, executive director, and Ricky Robinson, the first RAYS director, who hired Green.
Cynthia Green could not be reached for comment.

Pete Carroll is the optimistic type — to say the least — but even he has to admit that the development of Russell Wilson in 2014 has been something of a pleasant surprise.
This summer in training camp, Carroll talked about his quarterback’s control and command of the offense, and said that while Wilson is already a very good quarterback, “he’s got a couple more years, maybe three or four more years of continuing before he really reaches it.”
Three preseason games and a 1-0 start later, Carroll might have to re-evaluate his timetable for Wilson reaching his pinnacle. Either that or the rest of the league might as well concede another Super Bowl or two to the Seahawks in three or four more years if Wilson is still that far from his peak.
Since that first preseason game when Wilson played behind a patchwork offensive line that was missing three starters, he has been nearly perfect. Overall this preseason, Wilson led the Seahawks to nine touchdowns and two field goals in 13 possessions. The Seahawks punted on their first possession the preseason, missed one field goal, and scored every other time Wilson was on the field.
Yes, those were only preseason games, but by all ac-counts Wilson looks ready to take a big leap in Year 3, which is saying something considering how good he has been in each of his first two seasons.
In the season opening win against Green Bay, Wilson went 19-for-28 for 191 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions. He also rushed seven times for a total of 29 yards.
“I’m thrilled about what we are seeing,” Carroll said. “I didn’t know how much farther he would go from last year to this year. It seems like he is really, really in control of what’s happening. ... I hate to tell him that I’m a little sur-prised at him doing well, but maybe that’s the case.”
And maybe by now we shouldn’t be surprised by any-thing Wilson does in his career. He was an overlooked third-round pick. He was said to be too short to win in the NFL. Yet from winning the starting job as a rookie to lead-ing the Seahawks to the playoffs that year to winning a title in Year 2, Wilson has made a habit of exceeding expecta-tions. So what in the world will he do for an encore?
Moments after a heartbreak-ing loss in Atlanta two seasons ago, Wilson told Carroll that the Seahawks were going to the Super Bowl the next season, and they did. Now, Wilson talks about wanting to be legendary, about wanting to win multiple titles. Are you going to doubt him, especially after seeing him play this preseason?
Cornerback Richard Sherman, who faces Wilson in practice on a regular basis, says he has seen the young quarterback coming into his own, says he’s more de-cisive this year, while safety Earl Thomas says Wilson and the offense are now just as good as the Seahawks’ defense. And receiver Percy Harvin says of Wilson, “The sky is the limit for that guy.”
If last year’s Super Bowl title was a one-time deal for the Seahawks, that 2013 team will be remembered as one that won it all on the strength of a historically good defense. If the Seahawks can repeat this year, or win three or four titles over a five- or six-year stretch, that dynasty not only will be remembered for Carroll and John Schneider, who built the team, but also for Wilson, the would-be face of a dynasty.
And that is what’s really at stake for Wilson, beginning today and this season. He already has proven he can be a very good NFL quarterback and that he can win. But now he’s on the precipice of greatness. If he really does take another step forward, he’ll bury the silly notion once and for all that he’s a “game manager” and put himself among

...Go SeahawksRussell Wilson, Seahawks look to make history in just his third season
Russell Wilson avoids the defense during Sunday’s 36-16 victory over the Green Bay Packers. KEVIN CLARK, Everett Herald
[ more WILSON page 13 ]
“I’m thrilled about what we are seeing. I didn’t know how much farther he would go from last year to this year. It seems like he’s really in control of what’s happening.” Head Coach Pete Carroll

the ranks of Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady.
Wilson is still rattles off the same clichés, from “championship mindset” to “100 yards is 100 yards” to “the separation is in the preparation” to “constant quest for knowledge.” However, beyond his go-to sayings, he also can sense that he’s ready
to do big things this season. Some of that has to do with the players around him, most notably a healthy Harvin, and the expanded playbook that comes with that, but Wilson knows some of that growth will be is own.
“(The playbook) definitely has grown a lot, in terms of all things that we can do,” Wilson said. “A lot of it is because of our personnel, but also because I’ve grown
a lot more in the checks that I can make and in learning the game. That’s my goal. I’m only going into Year 3. This is going to be the beginning of Year 3 for me, so I’m excited about continuing to get back on the field every opportunity I get whether it’s practice or a game.”
Wilson figures to be spectacular this season, especially after leading the Se-ahawks to a decisive 36-16 win over the
Packers, an early-season favorite.“It’s everything you can ask for on open-
ing night,” Carroll said.That’s true both for the Seahawks and
for Wilson, their quarterback who is ready to make a big leap in 2014.

The middle of September marks the start of the fall gardening season but you also need to keep spring blooms in mind. Rhododendrons and azaleas are mak-ing flower bud this month so keep them watered for maximum spring bloom. Hydrangeas are also making flowers for next summer so avoid cutting back your hydrangeas in the fall.
September is also the perfect time of year to dig and di-vide all types of iris. Don’t be afraid to lift the clumps right out of the ground and snip off the foliage leaving just a few inches of leaf.
Use a sharp knife to separate the rhizomes and toss out the oldest, middle section of the roots. Replant these iris roots but don’t bury the rhizomes too deep – they should be just below the surface of the soil.
Any iris plants that have failed to bloom will have a fresh outlook on life after divi-sion and will reward you with renewed vigor in the spring. Dividing in September is good for all types of iris, the bearded, the species and the Pacific Coast iris.
Here are the top three shrubs stopping traffic in local gardens – you can find them at local nurseries this month and
once planted they will give you years of color each autumn when the rest of your plants are growing faded and summer weary:
Rose of Sharon (Hardy Hibiscus)There are a bunch of new varieties of
this old fashioned shrub but the best behaved with eye-catching blooms in my garden is a reliable Rose of Sharon variety called ‘Helene’ with snow white blooms accented with a deep red eye. Drought and cold resistant this shrub gives a tropi-cal look to any garden and can be grown in a large pot as a patio plant.
The naked truth is that the Hibiscus syriacua varieties lose their foliage early in the fall and don’t grow new leaves until late spring. This means you are left with a leafless shrub at least six months of the year.
My solution is to use the woody frame as a support for spring flowering vines. Clematis makes a great partner for many shrubs but is an especially useful vine for draping through a naked hibiscus. Look for hardy hibiscus in shades of purple and lavender blue as well as hybrids with double and huge single blooms.
Don’t prune the Rose of Sharon hibis-cus shrub in the fall – it is a bit cold sensi-
tive and prefers never to be pruned. If you must shape it up just remove any awkward branches in late spring after all danger of frost has passed.
Smoke Trees (Cotinus coggygria)The ‘Royal Purple’ smoke tree is the
most common variety but the lime green foliage of the ‘Golden Spirit’ smoke tree will also add a pop of color to a sunny garden bed. The name smoke tree refers to the dry panicles or seed heads that arise from the plant in late summer and look a bit like puffs of smoke emerging from the leaves.
This is the perfect plant for dry soil, rocky soil or areas where you do not want to irrigate. If left unpruned the smoke tree will grow into a small but rather boxy looking tree. You can also keep this shrub compact by cutting it to the ground every spring.
In England the smoke tree is used in perennial borders as a back drop for sum-mer flowers especially in the back of the border where it might never get water.
Add more drama without more drink-ing to your smoke tree by underplanting it with silver foliage plants such as lamb’s ear, dusty miller or lavender. Another tidy option is to pile gray stones around the base of this sun loving plant as a weed block.
This magnificent vine is worth search-ing for at local nurseries as the eye-pop-ping color from the deep purple leaves be-gins in August and continues until frost. The small grapes themselves are not edible but the foliage and good manners of this vine makes up for the weak and random production of sour tasting fruit.
Train this vine to grow up the trunk of a white birch tree or to festoon an old stump or garden shed. The rich color comes when you most need it in the early autumn garden.
In my garden I grow the ornamental grape vine in a mostly shaded site but it really prefers full sun for the most intense leaf color. You can cut this vine almost to the ground in early spring or let it reach for the sky and scramble through your entire garden.
Ornamental purple leaf grape vines are breathtakingly beautiful when planted with purple asters and the dusky purple shades of ornamental cabbage and kale.

It’s been a rough start to the 2014 season thus far for the Hazen Highlander girls soccer team.
The Highlanders, last year’s Seamount League champs, are now 0-2 on the young season, hav-ing dropped Tuesday’s match with Kennedy 7-0.
In their first game of the season this past weekend, Hazen traveled to Coeur d’Alene to
face 2-0 Lake City High School, but the trip did not go as hoped, with Hazen on the losing end of a 4-0 score.
In their first two games the Timberwolves out scored them 9-0 and 6-0.
“They’re very good. They dictated the pace of the game in the first half,” said Hazen Coach Ken Matthews in an email
In the second half, Hazen was able to get its
passing game going a little more. “Some of our player combinations were a
pleasant surprise. All and all - the game gave us the competitive level we needed,” said a pleased Matthews. “It was a great test and we’ll get better because of this game.”
Hazen was scheduled to play Auburn Moun-tainview on Thursday and will face Lindbergh Tuesday at Renton Memorial Stadium.
Despite a difficult practice schedule that requires swimmers to commute to a pool, the Renton Indians girls swim team is ready for another season in the water.
According to Coach Diane Pavelin, the Indians experienced no major losses over the past year and have several top swimmers returning to form this season.
Senior Angela Vu, a sprinter, will lead the team this year. Vu is coming off a season in which she was named to the All-Seamount second team and qualified for districts. Distance swimmer and fellow senior Samantha Honmoyo, who placed in the 200- and 500-yard freestyle at leagues and qualified for the 200 in districts ,will also guide the young team. Sophomore distance swimmer Hannah Tunis is also expected to make an impact this season.
Along with their top returners, Pavelin said freshman Harley Rose could place in a number of league events this fall in the distance events and freshman Kayla Honmoyo shows great promise in the sprints.
Pavelin is keeping her expectations for her team in range. After a 3-6 finish last season, she hopes her team, will have more swimmers place in leagues and district and hopes at least one of her swimmers qualifies for the state meet.
Renton opens its season against Auburn Sept. 16 at the Hazen pool.

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.

Despite the loss of five starters from last year’s Seamount Championship team, the Lindbergh Eagles football team picked up where it left off last season and began the 2014 campaign with a 30-0 win over Ingraham Friday at Renton Memorial Stadium.
The two squads battled back and forth through the first quarter of play, with neither team able to break through.
But early in the second, quarterback Devon Jackson hit receiver Derek Armstrong for a 40-yard touchdown strike. Armstrong then ran in the 2-point conversion for an 8-0 lead. After getting the ball back, the Eagles again drove the ball down the field before punching it in on a 1-yard run.
Lindbergh headed into halftime with a 14-0
lead.The Eagles continued the scoring in the third
quarter, with Jackson throwing a 48-yard touch-down strike, his second of the day.
D’Angelo Faust capped the scoring for Lind-bergh with a 34-yard touchdown run of his own, followed by catching a 2-point conversion pass to give the Eagles a 30-0 lead.
Lindbergh moves to 1-0 on the young season and travels to White River on Friday for a match-up with the Hornets.

Despite a strong opening first quarter that saw the Highlanders firmly in control, the Lake Washington Kangs rallied through the second half of the game and handed Hazen a 32-12 loss in new coach David Kil-patrick White’s first game with the team.
After receiving the opening kick-off, Hazen took its opening drive all the way down the field, scoring on a 15-yard touchdown pass from Nolan Hoover to Marquis Lee that
started with a muffed snap and a near fumble. Hoover recovered the ball, turned and flipped to Lee,
who broke a few tackles as he sprinted into the endzone for a 6-0 Hazen lead.
After missing the 2-point conversion attempt, Hazen
surprised Lake Washington with an onside kick that the Highlanders recovered, though they didn’t score.
The Hazen defense also looked good early, as they forced and recovered a fumble on a long pass reception. Later in the second, J. Conklin returned a fumble 98 yards for a touchdown and a 12-0 Hazen lead.
But Lake Washington would not be held down, with R. Simonson scoring a touchdown on a 5-yard run for a 12-7 halftime score.
Unfortunately for Hazen, the second half was all Kangs.
In the third, quarterback D. Mann had a pair of touchdown passes. The first was a 30-yard strike to S. Muller to make it 14-12 Lake Washington, which was followed by a 7-yard touchdown to B. Inslee and a 20-12 lead.
In the fourth, Lake Washington handed the ball to E. Phillips for a 10-yard touchdown run and then a 70-yard touchdown run to seal the 32-12 victory for the Kangs.
Hazen heads to Liberty on Sept. 12.
