Thanks to some time-saving tactics by the contractor, the construction for both the Downtown Renton Library and the Highlands Library are moving ahead of schedule.

Construction Enterprises & Contractors has been able to trim some days off the schedules of both libraries. The contractor has projected completion about 40 days earlier than the original contracted substantial completion date for the Downtown Library, said Peter Renner, facilities director for the City of Renton.

“However, both of the schedules are subject to change for a variety of reasons and the saved time might be lost later, or it might be improved upon,” Renner said. “It’s just too early to say. But we are very pleased with the way the contrac-tor has worked creatively with the subcontractors, the City inspectors, and the construction committee to keep things moving apace.”

Soon the Downtown Library will have the storefront

assemblies in place, which is the glass and the framing that holds the doors and windows in place. This will fully enclose the interior and much of the mechanical work is complete.

Design features have all been decided upon for the new downtown library location. They include a new floor to ceil-ing glazed curtainwall, to let in more natural light and create more views of the river.

There will be a new metal canopy at the entire perim-

Police searching for ex-boyfriend in assault on baristaBY BRIAN BECKLEY

[email protected]

Renton Police are asking the public’s help in apprehending a violent felon who viciously at-tacked his former girlfriend inside a North Renton espresso stand.

The victim was confronted by ex-boyfriend Shad A Johnson, 43, as she opened the espresso stand at about 4:30 a.m. Feb. 17. During the confrontation, Johnson allegedly forced his way inside the stand, and sexually assaulted the victim.

According to Renton Detec-tive Robert Onishi, Johnson was waiting in his truck, asleep, when the victim opened the coffee stand in the morning. Because he was parked in the drive-through lane, she knocked on his window and asked him to move.

The two then got into an argument and as the victim attempted to close the stand’s window, John-son slammed it open, breaking it, before reaching in and grabbing the victim.

“He actually leaned in and dragged her through the window of the coffee stand,” Onishi said.

A Renton man is alive today in part because of the training and quick action of average citizens who worked quickly to provide CPR before medics could arrive.

According to Renton Battalion Chief and Safety Officer John P. Lecoq, firefighters received a call on the night of Feb. 9 about a man on the ground near Kennydale Elementary School.

The man had been walking his dog when he suddenly had a heart attack. Fortunately, two concerned motorists, including an off-duty Seattle firefighter, stopped to see if they could help.

Ever since Maui-resident Janna Hoehn visited the Vietnam Veterans’ Memo-rial Wall in Washington DC six years ago, she’s been thinking about by the ulti-mate sacrifice the soldiers made for their country.

Even though she knew no one killed in the war, she choose a name on the wall, did a rubbing and decided to research that soldier. That single act of curios-ity has now turned into a lifelong pursuit to put a face to the name of soldiers on The Wall, part of national effort.

Since May 2013, Hoehn has collected more than 1,200 photos in support of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund’s “Faces Never Forgotten” project. It seeks to put a face with every name etched on The Wall.

Hoehn is currently looking for photos and any information about three Renton young men who died in Vietnam: John C. Browning, (1944-1969); Steve W. Kinghammer, (1946-1967) and Charles R. Petchnick, (1947-1967).

Hoehn’s mission started with trying to find any information for soldier Gregory John Crossman, who was listed as missing in action. With the help of her cousin, the family historian,

she was able to find a col-lege photo of Crossman and sent it in to the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial Fund.

This led to a “thank you” from Jan Scruggs, founder and president of the Viet-nam Wall, and an invitation to help find photos for 42 Maui County soldiers killed in the war.

“I told him it would be an honor,” said Hoehn, adding that she always hoped she could do something for the Vietnam veterans because of the way they were treated when they returned home.

She thought the Maui

search for soldiers would be easy because of the small island, but she was wrong. She pored through phone books, calling every name that was similar to one of the soldiers for whom she was searching. She found 10 names that way.

Next she went off to search archived yearbooks and obituary notices and found a few more that way. Then after the local paper, the Maui News, did a story about the effort, Hoehn started receiving calls and photos from all over the U.S.

After about six months of the paper publishing the names of the fallen soldiers, she had a photo for every soldier from Maui County.

“Once I had all the photos, I decided I did not want to keep this to myself,” Hoehn said. “I needed to share it with Maui County.”

She decided to make a display with her 42 soldiers and take it all over the island, giving presentations to high schools, libraries and civic groups with what she learned.

It’s been very well-re-ceived, Hoehn said.

Her efforts have inspired her to pursue more faces of soldiers in her hometown of Hemet and San Jacinto, California. The response has been “amazing,” she said.

Hoehn has moved to searching for all soldiers in California and her story has been published in newspa-pers throughout Hawaii, California, Washington, Oregon and Idaho.

“Putting a face with a name changes the whole dynamic of The Wall; it keeps our fallen heroes’ memories alive and will honor them, our heroes sto-ries and sacrifice will never be forgotten,” she said.

Now Hoehn’s search has turned to King County.

“If anyone is related, a friend or a classmate to any of the young men on the list I would very much appreciate hearing from you,” Hoehn said. “Even if you don’t have a photo, but know which school any of these young men attended, it would be so helpful.”

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall has the names of 58,300 etched on its face. To date, only 39,500 photos have been collected.

Those who have photos or information can contact Hoehn at [email protected]. She also is seeking a volunteer to “do some footwork” in the community if all the photos aren’t found.

King County Metro Transit rid-ers will pay a little bit more to ride the bus beginning March 1.

Transit fares will increase 25 cents for adults, youth, seniors, people with disabilities and busi-nesses offering “Business Choice” accounts to their employees.

Customers who have a Passport or U-Pass through their business or school will notice the change as contracts are renewed after March 1.

Fares for Access paratransit ser-vice will increase 50 cents to $1.75 per trip. The increase reflects the

much higher expense of operating Access service compared to regular bus service.

Metro reports that the fare increases will place the agency on a more stable financial footing and will help keep service on the road.

Also on March 1, the newly

created ORCA LIFT reduced fare program makes its debut. It is the outcome of an intensive two-year push by King County Executive Dow Constantine and the County Council to make riding the bus more affordable for people strug-gling to make ends meet.

“There are only two seasons - winter and Baseball.” - Bill Veeck

Ok then, now that the whole “football” di-version is done for the year, we can get back to something important: Baseball!

Don’t get me wrong, I love me some football and I spend every Sunday in the fall glued to my couch watching any game that’s on, but football is just a game.

Baseball is Life.Every spring, as the days start to get longer

and the promise of spring begins to get closer and closer, the seeds are planted. The season begins, in earnest, usually with some snow still on the ground somewhere, with every team (basically) still in the hunt. Except the Astros, obviously.

Once the season begins, it’s a daily slog of 162 games that takes us through the spring, into the summer, through August and into the fall. Baseball players play nearly every day. The season is filled with ups and downs

- every team will win 60, every team will lose 60; what matters is what you do with the other 40 games - surprises and streaks. And sometimes it rains and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Just like life. Only with more hot dogs.

And also, just like life, it’s a game in which you keep individual stats and make your own way in the world, but you can’t win without a team behind you.

Then, in the fall, hopefully you reap the harvest of wins and as the days begin to shorten again the best teams battle it out to see who will be the last one standing.

Then we pack it up and wait out the winter.

“People ask me what I do in winter when there’s no baseball. I’ll tell you what I do: I stare out the window and wait for spring.” - Rogers Hornsby

This week marked the beginning of Spring Training for all 30 major league teams. The Mariners opened their camp in Arizona while my Philadelphia Phillies got underway in Clearwater, Florida.

And once again, hope springs eternal.Well, kind of. At least it does for the Mari-

ners anyway. For the Phils? Not so much.It’s a rough time to be a Phillies fan, a

time that Mariners fans know all too well, unfortunately.

It doesn’t seem that long ago that I was su-per excited about the start of spring training. My team was among the best in the league. In 2007, we started a run of five consecutive division championships. In 2008, we won the World Series.

It was a great year and a great parade, attended by me and about three million of my closest friends. Then, though we didn’t know it at the time, things started to go south when the general manager, Pat Gillick, who had previously worked with the Mariners during their 2000-2001 record setting hey-

Our goal at the community foundation is to elevate the conversation around philanthropy and to get more people involved.

This got me to thinking about a boss I once had. He used to say that language controls the culture - words matter. We know that from ad-

vertising and politics, where slogans and catch phrases can actually influence the way we think.

Unfortunately, there are a number of prevailing memes in our country that aren’t helpful to the not-for-profit world. One of them is “the

makers vs the takers.” This is the idea that those of us who make a living pay for those who don’t. While true, the statement implies that those who are less fortunate are lazy and have chosen to be where they are.

I just read an article that reinforces that mis-conception. It talked about wealthy people who believe that being poor is ‘easy,’ because people on welfare get paid for doing nothing.

Really?Do they think that fathers and mothers wake

up one day and say, “I think it would be easier if I just quit my job and we all lived on food stamps?”

Memes like ‘makers vs the takers’ and being poor is ‘easy’ are degrading and demoralizing. And they prevent more people from getting involved in solving the problem. After all, why should you help someone who won’t help them-selves?

So if language controls the culture, perhaps we need to change the language.

Instead of calling people on welfare the tak-

ers, we might think of them as the ‘providers,’ because they provide the rest of us with an op-portunity to give back. Instead of thinking that living on government assistance is easy, maybe we need to think of it as ‘temporary,’ because temporary means at some point the family won’t require our help anymore. Instead of thinking of giving back to your community as an obligation, think of it as a ‘privilege.’

Because, after all, having privilege makes you feel good.

I had a friend once who used to do some work for me around the house. He was a kind and generous soul who was a hard worker. He also happened to be an alcoholic and would disap-pear for months at a time, living on the streets. Eventually, his disease killed him.

I often wonder what gave me the ability to rise above the hardships in my life and not him. Did I have better parenting or a stronger support structure? I knew both his sister and his mother, and he came from a good family. And yet, some-how he was unable to make his life work.

Some folks might say he was just weak. Or that he made bad decisions. Or that he chose to live on the streets when all he had to do was get a job and stay sober. Their words would dismiss him. They would make it sound so easy.

Ah, there’s that word again.If we assume that people on welfare are weak,

lazy or just want to take advantage of the system, then we exacerbate the problem. And we’re not seeing the whole person.

Remember the saying “There but for the grace of God go I.”

But for one bad decision, one catastrophic

day, retired and they handed the keys over to his assistant, Ruben Amaro, Jr.

The move worked about as well as when the Mariners went from Gillick to Bill Bavasi. Every season since 2008, the team has regressed.

Though I have been a fan my entire life, I have to admit, this year it is difficult to be excited. I have not worn a single shred of Phillies gear since they traded shortstop (and all-time Phillies hits leader) Jimmy Rollins in December.

The move was just such a thumb-in-the-eye to fans and didn’t address ANY of the problems that caused the team to fall to the cellar last season.

That’s right, from highly-feared champs to laughing stock in just five short years!

I love the Phillies and will be rooting for the team, but I can’t support the organization or the management right now.

I just refuse to suffer fools.That’s why this spring you may have seen me running

around in a Mariners cap, as the Phils and Mariners are going in opposite directions.

After finally ditching Bavasi - who did to the M’s what Amaro did to the Phils - after the 2008 season, Seattle has made some moves, developed some talent and then went

big in the free agent market.Because of that, the M’s are on the verge of taking it to

the next level. It’s taken five years to dig out of the hole Bavasi put them in, but it looks like this may finally be the year Seattle gets back to the playoffs.

Here’s hoping. There’s nothing more fun than a winning baseball team. It’s even more fun than a winning football team, because of the daily nature of the game.

While football is played only once a week, baseball, like life, is played every night, you know, in case you need it.

And those nights should certainly be more fun here than in Philly.

But that’s life, right? Sometimes bad decisions take time to crawl out from under, but all it takes is some time, some effort and the knowledge that tomorrow is another game and we can always get ‘em next year.

Welcome back, baseball. PLAY BALL!

“Nobody ever said, ‘Work ball!’ They say, ‘Play ball!’ To me, that means having fun.” –Willie Stargell

illness, one home invasion or house fire, you, too, could be on the street, living the easy life.

And then you’d have to rely on the help of strang-ers, just like so many others.

So, let’s change the lan-guage. Let’s build people up instead of tearing them down. Let’s make helping others something we want to do, rather than something we have to do.

Let’s start a movement.

Snowdrops, crocus and daffodils can be spotted in bloom this week. These early flowering bulbs may be small but they are welcome signs of spring and easy to grow in most landscapes.

These bulbs are usually planted in the fall as they need a few months of winter chill to get them in the

blooming mood. The good news for Western Washington gardeners is that our climate allows color-seeking gardeners to buy potted, blooming bulbs from the nurs-ery now to add to the garden for instant gratification and years of perennial color.

Local nurseries and garden centers now offer pots of spring

bulbs in plastic pots much like they do summer annuals. Bring them home, slide the bulbs, soil and roots out of the pot and plant the blooming color into any well drained site in the garden.

You can even leave the potted bulbs in their containers, bury them a bit into the potting soil of your empty porch or patio pots and enjoy container gardens that bloom with early spring color. Once the spring flowers fade, simply transfer the bulbs from the pots into the landscape for years of more spring bloom.

Do you think you don’t have room for early bloomers in your garden? Think about our pollina-tors and think again.

Pollinators include birds, bees, butterflies and moths that all need the nectar of flowers this time of year for the energy it takes to polli-nate the plants and keep us humans alive. Hummingbirds may be the

divas of the pollinator crowd but native bees and night flying moths are also mixing up the pollen and doing their part to create new life.

Loss of native habitat has meant the loss of pollinators so it is up to gardeners to save the world and plant more early bloomers.

Here are some great plants to add to your landscape that attract and feed pollinators:

Lungwart or Pulmonaria: Ugly name, pretty plant. This early blooming perennial likes shade but will adapt to sun. The blue gray foliage is spotted and attractive. In early spring the small bell-shaped blooms appear in shades of blue fading to pink with some varieties flowering white or salmon.

Humming birds and bees dip into the blossoms with gusto so adding just a few pulmonaria to your garden will create a hum from all the pollinators in the neighbor-

hood.

Ribes, Currant or Gooseberry: All are members of the same family and some ribes are native shrubs in Western Washington. These plants flower with lovely, dangling clusters that put a rumble in a bumble bee and put the hum into humming-birds.

Many birds love the summer berries but it is the humming birds that benefit the most when you add a pink or red blooming currant shrub to your landscape. You won’t need to keep your artificial feeder filler to get the hummers fighting over a food supply and putting on a show.

If you add native huckleberries to the mix you might just entice the hummingbirds to collect some moss and spider webs and con-struct a tiny nest to dangle from the branches of these underused

Like us on !

On a recent morning I was tying one on at The Berliner Gastropub (my Pippimamma apron that is) and continuing a heated conversation with the husband and wife dynamic duo of Dennis and Lydia Mascarinas, proprietors of the Berliner Pub in Downtown Renton.

Dennis and Lydia have an easy way of chatting with people in the restaurant business, small talk is a breeze. And then there’s Lydia’s Australian accent… She could say “composting” (something she’s passionate about) and it sounds interesting.

But back to our conversation.Our foodie dialogue had started a week earlier with

something that most people can relate to: what to cook for dinner?

Only, we were wondering what Ger-man dish they would teach me to cook for this Pippimamma: Hot from the Oven series. The Berliner offers a blend of German and American food and something for all tastes.

Many of the dishes offered at the Berliner are Lydia’s Austrian mother’s authentic German recipes and there are

many choices! First, we talked about making Berliner’s own recipe of

all-natural, foot-long beer bratwurst. I’ve always wanted to try to use a meat grinder and fill the casings, but have been too intimidated to try it at home.

“Too boring,” they said. OK...Perhaps skewering a feast of local sausages served up

plump, piping hot and sourced from the famous Pike Place Market Bavarian Meats butchers and smothered in mustard sauce?

What about the traditional Schweinshaxe, a new menu item, featuring mini pork shanks glazed with rum, black-berry and horseradish with a side of spätzle, a type of egg noodle that is the staple of Germany.

I was also keen on the Bratzel, a pretzel the size of Andre the Giant’s open palm, doughy and soft as Temperpedic

foam, served up warm and sprinkled with salt, two differ-ent mustards and a cream-cheese-and-syrup combo that satisfies the sweet and savory parts of the palate and when combined with a nice cold Maisel’s Original Weisse, an unpasteurized wheat beer is a hallelujah of a carb bender one won’t soon forget!

What about the corn dogs?Fuhgeddaboudit, as my New Yorker cousins say, these

babies aren’t the frozen variety. These wieners are authentic German Wieners, hand dipped in a Berliner secret batter and deep fried to a golden goodness. Knowing the secret

recipe for those dogs would be too dangerous! “Let’s make a Weiner Schnitzel (breaded and fried thinly

sliced pork) paired Kartoffelsalat or Hot German Potato Salad that is not like your grandma’s potato salad,” Dennis promised.

It’s a dish Lydia grew up eating often, and they still use Lydia’s mother’s recipe at The Berliner.

Lydia’s mother is from Austria and emigrated to Aus-tralia. Lydia grew up in Australia and 17 years ago while traveling the world, she made a pit stop in the U.S. She wandered into a bar after a salsa class where she met a charming bartender named Dennis who had lived in Ger-many and spoke German as does Lydia. For these two the language of love was less “Parlez-vous, francais?” and more, “Sprechen Sie Deutsch?”

In addition to being passionate about everything Ger-man, Dennis and Lydia had practical reasons for opening the PNW hot spot for everything German—they wanted a place to bring their kids, and enjoy a great beer! Kids are allowed in the pub until 10 p.m.

“Why Renton?” I asked, trailing behind Dennisas he made his way to the walk-in refrigerator filled with kegs that support 20 German beers on tap. “Being from Seattle, what made you want to open the Berliner, here?”

“Well, I cheated,” Dennis said with a smile, “I was a de-mographics student at the University of Washington. Based on demographics and what was going on I knew Renton was the place to be!”

All their tap beer is brewed in Germany and shipped over in kegs through the Panama Canal and up the West Coast of America. They work closely with importers who travel to Germany to find new and unique beers to bring over, often from smaller breweries. Sometimes they have beer on tap that isn’t available anywhere else in the States.

Back in the kitchen, Dennis was ready to cook.After frying the bacon for the potato salad and add-

ing apple cider vinegar, potatoes and a few other simple ingredients we set the potato salad aside and moved on to breading pork into thin cutlets.

Dennis wore a custom black t-shirt with the Berliner’s familiar bear logo and the phrase, “Ich bin ein Berliner” or “I am a Berliner.”

“I thought it would make a cool t-shirt,” Dennis said, in homage to the famous JFK speech. “We called our estab-lishment Berliner because it is the capital of Germany and is an amazing city. We thought it would be a recognizable name for the American public so they would know straight away that we have a German place.”

The Weiner Schnitzel and Hot German Potato salad is served steaming hot, sweet, sour and spicy…the combo represents the Americana comfort food version of “pot roast and mashed potatoes” of the German world and is served up fresh daily in DTR with Rotkohl or sauerkraut-i-fied red cabbage.

“Since opening business has been great,” Lydia added,

My artist friend, Helga Jaques, and I had come to visit her friend Louis Anderson at his hundred year old cabin. Louis has lived here since he bought it with his father in 1963, with a mortgage of $75 a month!

Louis, an artist re-nowned in the North-west, greeted us at the door. A deck in the front yard overlooks Lake Washington. We were in the hills close to Dead Horse Canyon and on the border of the south

end of Seattle and Renton. Originally a 163 acre homestead, it is near the old road into Renton, and there is a lot of history here. You can find the remains of an old barn and buried farm implements.

We passed through his studio, filled with his brightly colorful watercolors, and into his cozy living room.

He told me he was born in Kentucky, but moved to Renton with his family when he was 17, though he doesn’t like to talk about the not-so pleasant memories of his youth in Kentucky.

Struck by polio when he was only a few weeks old, he spent many years off and on

having surgeries at the children’s hospital in Louisville. They lived in a coal mining company town, where his father worked in the mines. Although he had an older brother and two older sisters, Louis was often lonely. He shared with me that the lo-cal families wouldn’t let their children play with him because of his disabilities.

After his dad returned from fighting in World War II, he didn’t want to face the dangers of coal mining anymore so they relocated to Michigan, where he worked for a small division of Boeing.

Then in 1954, he was transferred to the Boeing here in Renton – coincidently a mining town as well! The family rented a house on Williams, and he attended Renton High School.

“Renton has been the center of my activi-ties most of my life.” Louis said.

But it was at the University of Washing-ton where he discovered his greatest calling in life. He took a drawing class and fell in love with all of the arts.

After attaining a graduate degree in art at an academy on the East Coast, he came back to Renton. From 1960 to 1968, he worked in the art department at Boeing which helped him to pay off his student

loans. “This was long before computer design,”

Louis said. “I created renderings of airplane parts on a drafting table - often having to start from scratch with changing specifica-tions. Then, after the presentations, these works of art would just disappear!”

Later, he worked as an art teacher at Garfield High in Seattle.

“It was a bad area with lots of riots, Louis explained. “But we were trying to develop an art academy with twenty-five art teach-ers – until the money ran out. I really wanted to have more time for painting, and teaching was not allowing me to do that.”

Finally able to pursue his dream, he painted in oils until discovering he was al-lergic to turpentine. Switching to water-

colors has brought him great success. His paintings can be found in several public buildings and private homes, both here in Renton and throughout the Northwest.

He was inspired by Jackson Pollock and is a prolific artist who paints quickly and from the heart.

“My paintings keep getting better,” Louis says, “My best have been in the last five years. An idea has to start somewhere inside of you. Sometimes I have to charge my batteries for a while between paintings. I have a process where I display my latest painting nearby. I stare at it and I really like it for a few days, but when I start finding fault with it, it’s time to paint again,” he

The Tukwila Sounder Station dedicated on Feb. 18 pro-vides Renton residents with their closest access to Sound Transit commuter rail and connections to Link light rail

The Tukwila Station on Longacres Way in Tukwila is a major regional transportation hub for Sound Transit, King County Metro Transit and Amtrak.

“Renton is one of the few cities that has no access to Sound Transit and nothing planned in the near future,” said Preeti Shridhar, Renton’s deputy public affairs admin-istrator.

“All other South King County cities have direct access,” she said.

The new station replaces a temporary station with wooden platforms that opened in February 2001 and was accessible by a dirt road.

Ground was broken on the $46 million Sounder station in June 2013, by local, state and federal officials. U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, who played a key role in obtaining federal funding for the project, spoke at the dedication, along with U.S. Rep. Adam Smith.

Representing Renton were Marcie Palmer, chair of the City Council’s Transportation Committee, and Gregg Zim-merman, public works director, and members of his staff. Palmer participated in the ribbon cutting.

Shridhar pointed out that license-plate surveys by Sound Transit several years ago showed that more commuters using the station came from the east – Renton and other areas to the east – than from the west.

Renton’s commuters, who park at the station or ride a bus there, use commuter rail to travel north and south, just as many workers use commuter rail to get to their jobs in Renton, she said.

The Sounder Station and the connecting route on South-west 27th Street is important to developers, she said.

Like Tukwila, Renton didn’t provide funding for the

construction of the Sounder station but it worked with Tukwila on planning.

However, Renton provided major funding for the South-west 27th Street/Strander Boulevard project from Oakes-dale Avenue to the station’s southern entrance driveway, according to Shridhar.

The cost of the two-phase project was $31.3 million. Renton’s share was $8.5 million, including local funds and paying off bonds.

The City of Tukwila is now seeking state and federal grants to extend Strander Boulevard all the way to West Valley Highway within its borders.

“This link will provide a major new east/west trans-val-ley arterial running from State Route 167 to I-5,” Shridhar said.

The City of Renton has only one other road project in the Renton Valley in its six-year Transportation Improve-ment Plan. That $4.4 million project, scheduled to be built in 2020, would widen Lind Avenue Southwest from South-west 16th Street to Southwest 43rd Street to five lanes, where required, she said.

New Tukwila Sounder Station provides closest access for Renton commuters

“The people of Renton particularly have been very sup-portive as have others from further afield. We have people coming to us from Tacoma, Olympia, Issaquah, Seattle and everywhere in-between. Our guests are what makes Berliner what it is today! We are hoping to open Tacoma in April of this year. The construction is now moving ahead rapidly and, barring any hiccups, will be complete by April. Keep your fingers crossed!”

When you go into the Berliner for dinner, whether you’ve lived in Renton your whole life, new to the area or just visiting, the atmosphere feels eclectic. There’s dim lighting and a cozy atmosphere with a fire in the middle of the room; Think “Vikings” on AMC the great hearth and long table bench seating, steins of deep amber and dark colored beer.

And the crowd is as diverse as Renton itself.If you’re there on a Saturday night as I was later that

evening there was yodeling in the background and dueling trumpets from the local father and sons German group, the Happy Hans band.

They also offer trivia night, karaoke, an amazing beer garden and best of all I enjoyed the live music of local Ger-man Band, the Happy Hans!

Oy, Oy, Oy an Octoberfest cheer, followed by a Prost! A German toast that means bottoms up!

“Kids Design an Ad” is a new feature that we added to the Renton Reporter last spring and it returns in today’s paper.

Like last year, we asked students at one of our local schools to design ads for businesses in Renton.

The goal of this project is very simple. We present the students with a blank box and the busi-nesses’ logo and address and the kids use their artistic abilities to create an original advertisement

for the business.This year, we worked with Amazing Grace Christian School students and

their teachers, lead by Principal Dr. David-Paul Zimmerman. It was fun for us to get a chance to go into the classes and talk to the kids about reading a news-paper and what goes into creating a good, effective advertisement.

There were a total of 150 ads that were designed by the students and all of them went up on our website, which was so exciting for the kids.

Now it’s your turn to get involved by voting for your favorite ad! Go to www.rentonreporter.com and click on the “vote now” graphic box on the top, right side of the page and select your favorite. Voting is open now and will run

through March 5. Vote carefully, the winning ad’s creator will receive a pizza and frozen yogurt party for their

entire class!The kids are excited to see their ads in the paper this week and we’re excited to show them to

you. We hope you enjoy them.Thanks again to Amazing Grace Christian School, who made it possible for their students to

participate.

The suspect in the beating of a local comedian has been found competent for trial. Steven Joseph Baldwin, 48, has been charged with first-degree assault in the beating of Dylan Avila-Petitt on Jan. 5 at the Local 907 pub in Renton. Baldwin’s defense attorney is contesting

his competency and a contested competency hearing is set for 9 a.m., March 30 at the Regional Justice Center in Kent. TRACEY COMPTON, Renton Reporter

Suspect declared competent

The following was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.

BY DEAN A. RADFORD

[email protected]

The 20-year-old Renton woman stuck a syringe filled with a dark-brown liquid into her left forearm and pushed the plunger

downward but pulled it out when she noticed the Renton Police officer standing behind her.

The officer was fol-lowing leads Feb. 1 in a recent purse snatch at a fast-food restaurant on the Benson Road, based on years of responding to

criminal activity in the parking lot and in stores at the shopping center.

The woman must have heard his police radio or saw his reflection while she was sitting in the car; she immediately put the syringe in the glove box.

A friend who works at a nearby store owns the Honda compact car. In fact, he was working that day. He told the officer that he knows his friend was using heroin inside his car but that’s OK because he cares for her.

He was even willing to lose his job and car, he cares so much. He told the officer he just didn’t understand.

But the officer told the 32-year-old Rent-on man he does understand. He responds to crime constantly in that parking lot and even some of the shoppers where the man works are the victims.

The woman was trespassed from the store and should expect to receive a cita-tion in the mail for possession of drug paraphernalia. The store told the officer it would address the issue of its employee.

AIRSOFT PISTOL: The Renton Police officer was familiar with the Kent man walking on a secluded part of North River-side Drive from contacts for thefts, robber-ies, fights and assaults.

The 900 block of Riverside is known for narcotic sales and vehicle prowls. Someone walking in the area at 3 a.m. on Jan. 27 needed to be contacted, especially since he seemed to hide something.

The Kent man was cooperative but he smelled of alcohol. The officer searched

the area from which the man emerged and found a black handgun under some leaves. The officer left it there for now.

As the officer tried to handcuff him, the man tensed up and pulled away, possibly in attempt to reach a weapon. The officer was able to get him to the ground in a sitting position.

The weapon hidden under the leaves was an airsoft pistol, although it looked and felt like a real handgun. The Kent man was released.

DISORDERLY MAN: A 23-year-old Renton man faced a citation for disorderly conduct Jan. 31 after he stood in dark clothing in a poorly lit stretch of Northeast Sunset Boulevard in an attempt to commit suicide.

A witness pulled the man from the road-way before officers arrived. The suspect told the good samaritan and another witness that he was in the road because he wanted to die.

He was hit by a vehicle at about 6 p.m. that didn’t have time to avoid him. He suffered a broken leg and was taken to Val-ley Medical Center and was involuntarily committed.

STOLEN IPAD: A $250 iPad was stolen from the GameStop on South Second Street Jan. 31.

The suspect asked about trading games but ended up just looking around the store. While a second man asked the clerk ques-tions, the suspect walked behind the coun-ter and stole the iPad. They then walked from the store.

The suspect provided his phone number while he talked with the clerk about trading games.

FACE PUNCH: A 16-year-old Renton girl was punched in the face in an unpro-voked attack Jan. 28 as she walked from the Walgreen’s on Rainier Avenue South.

Renton Police officers located the sus-pect, about three blocks way on Rainier. The victim was brought to the scene and identified him.

The 33-year-old man, admitted he punched a girl outside Walgreen’s but he told an officer, “I don’t know why.”

He was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of fourth-degree as-sault.

Renton police officer confronts heroin user in lot

As 911 was called, the firefighter began CPR.Renton firefighters arrived within six minutes and took over for the citizen. An aid

crew administered a single shock with a defibriliator, which brought the man’s heart back to a stable rhythm.

Medics arrived soon after to stabilize the patient, who was then transported to Valley Medical Center, where he was treated in the emergency room and coronary care facility before being released.

Lecoq said that things could have been very different with-out the intervention of the citizens who saw the man on the ground.

“Without a caring community, a life would have been lost,” he said in an email. “That’s the first tier of the system.”

The incident also highlights the importance of Renton’s “Heart Month” program, which ran through the month Febru-

ary. This year marked the 10th anniversary of the program, designed to help reduce the incidents of coronary vascular disease in the community. Since the program began, Renton Firefighters have screened more than 50,000 people for blood pressure and blood sugar, with 7,000 receiving high blood pressure alerts and another 2,220 with high sugar.

Renton Firefighters this month not only provided the checks at multiple locations around the city, they also visited all 22 Renton schools.

Cardiac events are the top cause of death in the United States and strokes are the top cause of disability.

But Renton, thanks to efforts like Heart Month and the vigilance of average citizens, has the highest save rate in the world when it comes to cardiac events.

NOTICE OF ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW COMMITTEE

RENTON, WASHINGTON The Environmental Review Committee has issued a Determi- nation of Non-Significance Miti- gated (DNS-M) for the following project under the authority of the Renton municipal code. Maplewood Creek Stormwater Outfall Improvements Project LUA15-000033 Location: 4515 SE 2nd St. City of Renton requests SEPA Re- view and a Critical Areas Ex- emption to re-route two stormwater outfalls that discharge at the top of a hillside to be routed in the right-of-way subsurface to the intersection of Chelan Ave SE and SE 2nd Place where a new outfall will be constructed in the southwest corner of private property 4515 SE 2nd St. Storm- water would be piped from the outfall to the bottom of the hillside, just west of the Maplewood

Creek Class 3 stream and nearby Category 3 wetland. Approxi- mate areas of work are 3,200 sf of public ROW and 1,300 sf of private property, within the Resi- dential? 8 zone. The outfalls near SE 4th Plwould be capped and abandoned. Stormwater flow would be re-routed to the north within the Chelan street ROW through 700 feet of new 12-to 18-inch diameter subsurface pipe to the catch basin at Chelan Ave SE and SE 2nd Place, then directed 32 feet in length of new 24-inch diameter pipe onto private property to the northeast and the top of the hillside, where the pipe would be reduced to 16? inch diameter and daylighted and extended approximately 47 feet overland down the slope to a new 48-inch dissipater manhole structure.

Sarcococca or Sweet Box: A winter flowering evergreen shrub that comes in several sizes from a petite dwarf under two feet tall (Sarcococca humilis) to a more robust version (Sarcococca ruscifolia) that can be used as a hedge.

The big news here is that Sweet Box thrives in the deepest, darkest shade so it can provide tidy evergreen structure on the north side of a house where moisture collects and moss likes to grow.

Plant vanilla scented Sarcococca and you may never notice the tiny white blossoms that appear in February but you will never forget the strong, sweet fragrance and the many thanks from the grateful pollinating bees and moths.

Forsythia: The bright yellow blooms on this upright woody shrub will never be called subtle as the flowers appear before the foliage creating a mass of sunshine color that alerts the pollinators from miles around.

You can buy forsythia shrubs dirt cheap as bare root plants but don’t invest in a large specimen. Any forsythia will become a large specimen in just a few years if left unpruned.

The smart location for this winter bloomer is someplace in the back-ground where it can grow wild and free and never need pruning. A loca-tion where it gets at least half a day of sun will force it into flower but the garden gossip on forsythia is that she does not age gracefully.

Once the bloom of spring has sprung this long-lived shrub will spend the summer looking dowdy and a bit unkempt. Keep this in mind when choosing a location.

Talbot Hill Elementary School’s Parent-Teacher Organization will partner with Clothes for the Cause, a fundraising company that collects clothes in exchange for cash, for an event to raise money for staff appreciation, art docent programs and granting teacher classroom wishes.

The event is 8 to 10:30 a.m., Saturday, Feb. 28, at the school, 2300 Talbot Road S.

The donations will benefit Talbot Hill Elemen-tary. Following the clothing drive, Clothes for the Cause will pick up the donations and provide Talbot Hill Elementary School PTO with the total of their fundraising effort, measured in dollars per pound.

“We are thrilled to be able to work with Talbot Hill Elementary PTO,” said Joyce Showatler, of Clothes for the Cause. “Clothes for the Cause and Talbot Hill Elementary PTO make it easy for ev-eryone in our community to contribute by collect-ing things, free of charge, that our friends, family and neighbors already have in their houses.”

Talbot Hill Elementary PTO is a non profit organization consisting of volunteer parents work-

ing together with the teachers for the benefit of the school and the Talbot Hill students. Through events, Clothes for the Cause gives community groups – churches, sports teams, school bands, and others – the opportunity to turn their friends and families’ unwanted clothes into cash, while promoting sustainability and charitable acts in their community.

In addition to garments, Clothes for the Cause accepts pairs of shoes, hats, gloves, towels, sheets, blankets, quilts, drapery, purses, belts, rugs and stuffed animals.

Unlike the quintessential fundraiser that asks people to buy candy bars, flower bulbs or candles, Clothes for the Cause assists community groups and youth and makes a positive impact on the environment and in-need communities, without charging event participants a cent. Instead of decaying in landfills, donated items are re-worn, reused or ethically recycled both in the United States and abroad, based on best use.

The West District 3A Champion Hazen Swim Team finished in fourth place out of 40 teams at this past weekend’s state meet and several individual team members also brought home medals.

The Highlanders’ top finisher was Conner Broughton, who took second place in the 500-yard freestyle and sixth place in the 200-yard individual medley. Last week, Broughton was named WIAA Athlete of the Week in swimming for his role in helping Hazen win the regional meet.

But Broughton wasn’t the only Hazen swimmer to make waves this weekend.

Sergio Licea placed third in the 100-yard butterfly and eighth in the 200-yard freestyle.

Derek Wei finished fifth in the 100-yard butterfly.Finally, the 200-yard medley relay team of Nolan

Hoover, Broughton, Wei and Licea finished fourth, setting a new school record in the process. The same four swimmers also finished fifth in the 400-yard freestyle relay.

Several local wrestlers found their way to the podium this weekend at the Mat Classic state championships in Tacoma.

Renton’s Volodymyr Kalinin, who won his weight class last week in regionals, fin-ished the highest, earning a second-place finish in the 2A 160-pound weight class. Ka-

linin’s finals match was very close with him coming up just short 5-4.

Lindbergh’s James Garcia fin-ished fifth in the 2A 285-pound class.

In the 3A meet, Hazen’s Nik Var-gas placed eighth in the 132-pound weight class.

Hazen female wrestler Raven Svensen finished in fifth place in the girls 155-pound weight class. It is the best finish ever of any female wrestler in the Renton School Dis-trict, improving on Sevensen’s own seventh-place finish from last year.

The Sammamish Totems on Thursday fended off a third-quarter rally from the Lindbergh boys basketball team and then hung on to end the Eagles season 66-52 in a district tournament game at Curtis High School.

Sammamish jumped out to a 17-10 lead in the first quarter and then extended their advantage to 37-23 at the half.

But the Eagles responded with a 21-10 third quar-ter and the teams headed to the final frame with Sammamish up only 47-44. However the Totems dominated the fourth, scoring 19 points to Lind-bergh’s 8 and securing a win.

Lindbergh’s Anthony Hill led all scorers with 18. Devon Jackson added 12 points as well in the loss.

Lindbergh finishes the season with a 12-10 overall record.

eter of the building and it will provide solar protection. A new large meeting and multipurpose room is planned, with natural light, sliding panel doors, blackout shades and storage space.

Additionally, there will be three smaller meeting or study rooms planned. There have also been sig-nificant structural, mechanical and thermal conservation features and upgrades included in the design to meet current building codes and for better energy efficiency.

The library’s total budget is $10.4

million and the project reduces the size of the library from 22,00 square feet to 19,680 square feet. The beloved pedestrian bridge will remain in place and is still closed during construction.

The Highlands Library’s parking level and floor of the library are com-plete and the exterior concrete walls were poured last week. Next the steel structure will go into place. The work is now high enough out of the ground to be visible from Sunset Boulevard.

The Highlands Library calls for a 15,000-square-foot-library to be built at Sunset Avenue and Harrington

Avenue Northeast. It will also feature a one-story underground garage, located directly underneath the new building. The Highlands Library project is part of the Sunset Terrace redevelopment project, of which it is an anchor. The budget for the High-lands Library is up to $10 million.

It is still too early for specifics, said Renner, but the Downtown Library is projected to open late this summer and the Highlands Library in late fall.

Lindbergh’s ‘iron man’ swimmer is now a state champion.

After falling 0.8 sec-onds short of the win at Regionals last weekend, Lindbergh sophomore James Buchanan returned to form just in time to win the 100 backstroke this past weekend at the state meet in Federal Way.

Buchanan, who quali-fied to swim in every in-

dividual event at the meet, also set a school record in the process with his time of 42.32 seconds, and beat his nearest opponent by

more than a second.Buchanan also finished

third in the 200-yard individual medley.

Teammate Derek Anderson, who this month set a school diving record, finished fifth in the 1-meter diving competition.

It’s Flea SeasonAs a loving pet owner, you’d do anything to prevent

your cat or dog from suffering. After all, they’re part of the family. Yet every year when � ea season begins, the suffering sets in. It’s like an old broken record. Fleas bite, and the scratching and chewing starts again. It’s a painful and irritating routine for you and your pet. But that’s just the beginning. Adult � eas jump on your cat or dog. They bite them to feed on the blood. Then the � eas produce eggs. Eggs drop from your pet to the ground or carpet. The eggs develop over time into adult � eas. And the cycle starts all over again.

An Invisible ThreatThe adult � eas on your pet can actually cause serious

medical problems -- like � ea allergy dermatitis or tapeworms, and in some extreme cases, anemia. Flea-related diseases account for more than 50 percent of dermatologic cases presented to veterinarians and more then 35 percent of the total small animal veterinary effort.

When to Start Treating?Ideally, � ea control should begin as � ea prevention

-- before � ea season starts. Depending on which part of the country you live in, your � ea season can last for four months or it can be a year-long problem.

Where to Turn?If you are in the midst of � ea season and still have

problems with � eas, do not despair. Your veterinarian is a � ea expert and can advise you on the latest new products that kill adult � eas, eggs, and larvae, and that take care of � eas in your environment. They will base their recommendation on your regional weather conditions (high humidity and heat means more � eas on the way), your pet’s health and level of � ea infestation.

Pampered Pets...

By Kathy LangFamily Dog Training Center

Seattle’s version of the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is coming up March 7-8, indoors at the CenturyLink

Field Event Center. If you love dogs, head to the show between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. both days. You’ll get a chance to see dogs from all over the country, including South King County, struttin’ their stuff.

Conformation: More than a beauty contest, this is where breeders and owner/handlers present their dogs for evaluation based on structure, movement and temperament. After earning enough wins over competition, dogs may achieve their American Kennel Club (AKC) breed championship title. Well over 100 different breeds of dogs, and more than 1,000 total dogs, are presented each year.

Agility: Like all performance events, agility is open to mixed breed dogs who have registered with the AKC. Cheer for your favorite dog and handler as they race through tunnels, jump over hurdles and weave through the poles. The fastest dog in each height category wins the blue ribbon, but every dog that qualifies takes one step closer to an agility title.

Obedience: From the entry-level classes

where dogs work on leash to the most advanced Utility competition, all dogs and handlers are judged on teamwork and accuracy. Heeling, hand signals, jumping, retrieving and out-of-sight stays are just a few of the exercises you’ll see assorted dogs perform.

Rally: Some folks think of rally as a cross between agility and obedience. Handlers are judged on both speed and accuracy as they navigate a course with stations that require the team to perform specific maneuvers.

Meet the Breeds: Many local breed clubs and breeders will be on hand, giving attendees a chance to meet their dogs and learn more about each breed.

Vendors: Dozens of pet-related vendors offer items for sale. Dog food, treats, artwork, clothing (for humans and dogs), fancy collars, leashes and hundreds of cool items only found at dog shows will be on display.

Entertainment: The demonstration and performance rings begin at 10:00 a.m. with a skit and dance routine featuring Family Dog Training Center from Kent. Ten dogs, along with Amy the Pig, will perform, followed by herding, nose work, police K9 units, and musical freestyle dancing demonstrations throughout the day.

For more info: Only dogs entered in the show are allowed to attend. Entry fees, parking information, free show tours and judging schedules (so you know exactly what time to be ringside to see your favorite breed) are available at seattledogshow.org.

Doin’ the Dog Show

Well-Mannered at the VetBy Kathy LangFamily Dog Training Center

If your dog gets a little stressed going to the vet, here are some things you can do to make the expe-rience more pleasant:

Many waiting rooms are relatively small, filled with anxiety and nervous energy. Your dog will take his lead from you and your demeanor, so be sure to remain calm. Calm body language includes deep breathing, slow speech patterns and movements. Make sure your dog sits at the door-way and you enter the clinic under control.

Use obedience com-mands to help your dog relax in the waiting room. After you check in with the receptionist, work on simple skills and tricks such as sit, down and shake. Tricks, treats and commands will keep your dog focused on you and help him relax knowing that you are in control of

what could otherwise be a scary situation.

If you have a very small dog, keep him on your lap, or in a car-rier, until it’s your turn to see the veterinarian. If you have a large or out-of-control dog, check in with the receptionist while your dog waits in the car until it’s his turn. If your dog becomes extremely fearful, do not attempt to soothe him by inadvertently prais-ing him for growling or shaking or hiding under

your chair. It’s better to change the subject – give him little jobs to do to earn treats.

If your vet occasionally needs to take your dog into the back room for more thorough testing, nail trimming or blood work, be calm as you hand the leash to the technician. Tell your dog to “Go with Sally” and act as though it’s no big deal. Fido will take his cue from you.

Some veterinarians allow – and even encour-

age -- their clients to stop by the clinic during quiet times of the day for a quick visit. Have your dog walk into the waiting room, step on the scale and sit to greet the re-ceptionist. Ask your dog to obey a few commands; reward with praise and treats. Say good-bye and return to the car. While it only takes a few minutes, this additional training time at the vet’s office can make every ap-pointment more relaxing for both of you.

said.At 78, Louis is fiercely

independent and doesn’t let his crutches slow him down a bit. He is quite active in spite of the crutches, and patronizes many of the local businesses in Renton. He also loves attending the ballet in Seattle.

Living comfortably alone, he avidly reads a variety of literary works. A book about Stalin sat by him on the couch.

“I was educated to be a country gentleman,” Louis said with a laugh. “But there isn’t much call for that these days.”

One of his admirers wrote, “Watching Louis paint, seeing his brush dance across the paper is like watching a ballet.” He loves to cook for his friends. A connoisseur of fine wines, he stores them in a cool wine cellar – the original basement in the

old cabin. Louis Anderson’s art

has been shown in many museums, galleries and art shows – including Renton’s Annual Art show. If you

want to see his work, you can contact me at [email protected] and I will forward your request.

Louis Anderson displays one of his paintings. Anderson switched to watercolors after retiring. JARIS ENGLISH, For the Renton Reporter

[ PAINTER from page 7]

The victim tried to flee, but eventually was chased back through the stand’s window. Johnson then came in through the door and assaulted the victim.

When a witness drove up, Johnson fled the stand in a red 2004 Ford F-150.

The victim suffered minor injuries, but was otherwise physically un-harmed.

Johnson formerly lived in Idaho, but mentioned fleeing to California after the assault.

Johnson is a white male, about 6 feet tall weighing 195 pounds.

He is also wanted on a Federal probation viola-tion, and should be con-sidered dangerous. If you

see Johnson, please call 911 immediately, do not attempt to confront him.

Anyone with informa-tion that can help locate Johnson can also call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), regard-

ing Renton Police case 15-2026. You will remain anonymous and are eligible to receive a cash reward of up to $1,000.00 if the information given leads to Johnson’s arrest and felony charges.
