Fabulous Fourth!New management spruces up Carco

Theatre, adds donated organ and pianoBY TRACEY COMPTON

[email protected]

It’s been a little more than two years since Puget Sound Access moved into Carco Theatre and the facility has been a buzz of activity. There’s been all sorts of events as well as renovations, new management and a few dona-tions, creating a more hospitable space for artists and guests.

Puget Sound Access is the provider

of public education and government cable channels to South King County residents and offers arts entertainment videography through Puget Produc-tions. It’s the company’s present mis-sion to bring in more multicultural events through outreach to diverse communities, build on its productions for and by children and host events for Renton’s film community.

“We have our hands full, but we’re

also really jazzed about what we’re do-ing here,” said Jeff McCord, executive director.

He came on board around the be-ginning of the year and so did Theatre Manager Cassie Welliver and Jona-thon Crick, office manager.

The theatre recently wrapped up renovations, creating a green room and working offices downstairs in

Transportation bill includes money for interchange

BY BRIAN BECKLEY

[email protected]

Though the Legislature was able to pass a state budget before the Tuesday night deadline that would have shut down parts of state government, the final vote on a transportation package that could finally mean relief for Renton-area drivers was stalled as of Wednesday.

Approved by the state Senate on Monday, the transportation package, if approved, would deliver $1.2 billion to widen the Interstate 405 corridor from Renton to Lynwood.

Included in the in the project is the state Route 167 – I-405 interchange, one of the busiest and most-clogged interchanges in the state. According to the WSDOT website, drivers in the area can experience congestion for up to eight hours each day.

“It’s very good news for us,” said Renton Deputy Public Affairs Administrator Preeti Shridhar.

Just days after school let out for summer, about 100 Renton students participat-ed in the Career and Tech-nical Education’s Summer STEM Robotics Camp.

The camp is in its second year and was held at Lindbergh and Hazen high schools, June 22-July 1. Sponsored by the Career and Technical Educa-tion Department and the Friends of Renton Schools, the camp was free to any Renton student who wanted to attend.

Fifteen-year-old Kane Anderson came to get a jump on robotics for next year at Lindbergh High School. Monday was com-petition day and his team’s robot “Beast Mode” was fairing well in the tourna-ment.

“It’s been really fun,” Anderson said. “I’ve been learning a whole lot more than I have been last year. So I’ve felt like I’ve been more of a help (on the team).”

At the science, technol-ogy, engineering and math or STEM camp, students got to learn computer programming, Sketchup design, 3-D printing, shop skills, game strategy and they even created engineer-ing notebooks. Students put together all of these skills in just seven days, culminat-ing in the creation of their robots and match day.

“I’m very impressed with how the kids have been able to, in a very short period of time, make a robot that can

actually move on the field,” said Dave Goldy.

Goldy is a retired Boeing software developer and camp mentor. During the school year he helps out with the robotics programs at Hazen and Lindbergh high schools.

“I mean these kids just come up with ideas that I’d never even dream of on how to build a robot that will pick up these balls and move around,” Goldy said. “They’re very creative kids and I’m so proud of them for how creative they are.”

The program is based on a FIRST Robotics game. FIRST stands for “For In-spiration and Recognition of Science and Technology” and the organization hosts camps and competitions for young people nation-ally. A local FIRST chapter donated the use of a lot of the competition materials and devices.

The students actually made some of the wooden parts to their robots during their shop skills sessions.

“All teams are made up with as many different kinds of kids as possible,” said Kim Sweet, CTE instructional facilitator. “So they’re from six different schools and they have a wide variety of ages, so we’re all one big Renton School District team.”

Thirteen-year-old Aman-da Smith was kind of disap-pointed that the camp was ending this week. She really had fun learning about pro-gramming and fabrication, she said. She was familiar with robots, having worked on her school’s robotics

team at McKnight Middle School.

“I wish it would go on longer; if there’s one next year, I would go to it,” Smith said.

That seems likely as the Friends of Renton Schools just granted the Renton School District $150,000 for STEM programs. They also granted the district $10,000 for music programs and $5,000 for the arts recently.

County extends lease of KCSO office in Fairwood

The King County Council on Monday unanimously approved a lease extension for the Sheriff ’s Fairwood community storefront office. The contract extends the lease by three years, with three additional one-year options.

The Fairwood office is used by sheriff ’s deputies to conduct a variety of routine busi-ness, such as completing reports, without the

need to return to the main precinct office in Maple Valley.

Keeping officers in the Fairwood community helps provide quicker response times and more opportunities for officers to interact with local residents and businesses.

“Maintaining a storefront office in the Fairwood community is a true benefit to the residents and helps the Sheriff to serve the community more effectively,” Council member Reagan Dunn, who represents the Fairwood

area on the council, said in a press release. “For 50 years, the Sheriff ’s Office has been

proud to partner with the residents of Fair-wood to keep the community safe,” said Sheriff John Urquhart. “Keeping and maintaining a storefront office in Fairwood signals our inten-tion to partner with the community for years to come.”

The Fairwood storefront office, located at 17620 140th Ave. S., #C-10, has been open since 2005.

A Personal Call to ActionIn 1980, an African Amer-

ican woman sat on an old dilapidated couch, shaking, as tears flooded her eyes. Legs covered with bruises, terrified, she held her infant daughter, trying to comfort her. Nearby, her four year old was curled in a fetal po-sition, moaning softly. The floor was littered with a bro-ken lamp, patches of hair, torn clothing, and crushed cereal. All grim reminders of her husband’s violence a few minutes ago. He was a 7 ft. 2” tall minister.

She remembered him put-ting his face close, his fists tight, as he knocked her to the ground. Her belly tight-ened with pain, fear, and dread for what he would do next. He yelled, “You little whore! Don’t you know I’m head of the house, and you have to do what I tell you! If you ever try to leave me again, I’ll kill us all!”

Sometime later, she heard the sound of the front door slamming. Temporarily alone, she called a 24-hour Domestic Violence Hotline, and found connections to a network of advocates who provided the tools and re-sources she needed to be-come a survivor. Three very strong and brave African American senior women of faith were also always there to encourage and support her. The great combination of helpers was a key ingredi-ent in rediscovering her own voice, and learning that she deserved to be treated right.

I was that woman, and you too can make a difference in your own life, as well as others. We all have a respon-sibility to take action to end violence, so that no one has to suffer the pain of abuse ever again.

If you or someone you know needs help, find the domestic violence program in your community by visit-ing wscadv.org or calling the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or 1-800-787-3224 (TTY).

You can also make a differ-ence by raising money and awareness for domestic vio-lence prevention by register-ing for the Goodwill Refuse To Abuse® 5K at Safeco Field at refusetoabuse5k.org.

what used to be just a stor-age basement. McCord is excited because now staff and freelancers have the space to work on editing projects. Previously, most of staff and freelancers worked remotely, telecommuting.

Carco also received sound, lighting and audio visual upgrades, including a Sony 4,000 lumen laser projector for film events. McCord hopes to embrace the Renton film community with the projector addition, as the theatre has hosted Renton Crash Cinema in the past and will host Renton FilmFrenzy this fall. The arts entertainment arm, Puget Productions, has been shooting video for the “Nights at the Neptune” series at Seattle’s Neptune Theatre.

Back in Renton, Carco is the backdrop for many kids’ theatre camps this summer as well as theatre groups that rent the space. Actors and musicians are enjoying the benefits of the upgrades, including an organ and a 1910 saloon piano that ar-rived as a donation from a Renton family.

Ken Mills, 92, with the assistance of his daughter, Sue Dietz, arranged to have their family organ and saloon piano donated to the theatre. The piano was built for Mills’ father, who had it in his bar during the 1920s in Toledo, Wash.

“We had gone as a family to several events to Carco in the ‘90s, so we were familiar

with the theatre and we really support theatre,” said Dietz. “It was a perfect fit.”

The saloon piano, which is in the green room, is now a warm-up piano for artists waiting to go on stage. The organ is available for any organ players in the com-munity for liturgical activi-ties or other events.

Moving the instruments would have cost hundreds of dollars, had it not been for the donated services of Rick Block of Prosser Piano and Organ in Tacoma. Block has known Mills for a number of years and felt compelled to make the do-nation to Carco happen.

“It’s wonderful; it’s very nice to hear that the family decided to let the theatre have those amenities, both the piano and the organ,” said McCord.

Other new theatre ame-nities include a concessions booth for theatre guests.

“The audiences really like having that service,” said Welliver.

This summer Puget Sound Access plans to host trivia, gamers’ and karaoke nights at Carco to get non-theatre-goers inside the building.

“We’re really wanting to just make the place func-tional and welcoming for everyone to come to,” said the theatre manager.

So far, staff have received feedback from guests saying the space feels more vibrant and alive. The latest up-grades were completed with funds from Puget Sound Access’ budget not City of

Renton money. “We wanted to invest

our own time, money and energy into making this better for the city of Renton and that’s really important for us,” said McCord.

The public is invited down to the theatre to check out the new ameni-ties, during administrative public hours, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., on non-event days.

Carco Theatre is located at 1717 S.E. Maple Valley Highway, Renton.

School district wins Patriot Award

The Renton School District was awarded the Service Member Patriot Award June 24 for its ex-ceptional support of district staff member and military reservist Eric Riddle, who has been called up to active duty in the military.

Tom Howley, from the district’s Technology Ser-vices Department, where Riddle works as a network engineer, accepted the award. The Service Patriot Award recognizes organiza-tions that support military reservists and their families as they are called to active duty.

Riddle is a captain in the Army Reserves and will be

deployed to the Middle East for about a year. During his deployment, Technology Services Department team members will take on all of

Riddle’s duties and respon-sibilities and the district will hold his job for him until he returns, a district release stated.

City not doing enough to address downtown issues

I saw the following line in the story about the Downtown Partnership in last week’s issue: “I would like to, as everybody else, see it revitalized into businesses that could complete the consum-er circle rather than just the antique stores and the pawn stores,” Ragland said.

We only have three antique stores left and they are drawing business into downtown Renton. We need these kinds of businesses that support the economy of downtown. Ben’s Pawn shop does lots of business. We have lost many responsible downtown businesses due to indecisiveness of the city to create a safe and clean environment. What we don’t need more of is bars!

A major downtown problem is the location of the Transportation Center (TC). It should have been placed on Grady where it would have been as convenient but not in the downtown center where it is creating so many problems. The loca-tion of the TC was not well researched or the research was ignored. But it’s here now, so police it 24/7.

No businesses rent the spaces provided around the bus terminal. A major business located next to the TC moved because of the criminal and loitering problems. Their cus-tomers had plenty of parking available at the multi-storied parking garage so that wasn’t the problem. (Actually, I’m still trying to figure out what the multi-storied parking garage is for.)

Another very obvious problem is the large homeless population in Renton. It appears that the city doesn’t have an office that deals with this situation besides the Police Department. There isn’t one organization that serves the homeless on a daily basis. The sleeping accommodations are under the overpasses and under bridges, il-legal camping and public libraries.

The public restrooms in the parks are closed on a regular basis which presents problems. It is unreasonable to simply close “public restrooms” because of vandalism. Fix them and hose them down but don’t close them.

A couple of our government leaders are saying how proud they are of the progress being made in downtown Renton. I live in downtown Rent-

Editor’s Note: Last year, we started a new tradition of publishing the full text of Dec-laration of Independence on Fourth of July weekend. While it’s a little longer than a usual column, the document is not only a great read, but an excellent reminder of the philosophy on which this country was founded. While the Constitution is a working document designed to create and maintain an operational gov-ernment, the Declaration is a philosophical treatise on human rights and government, as well as a point-by-point breakdown of exactly why and how King George was violating those rights

Please take the time today to read these words. They are what unite us, what we as a nation are supposed to stand for and why most of us have a day off to celebrate our freedom.

Happy Fourth of July, everyone. - Brian Beckley

W hen in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the politi-

cal bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organiz-ing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suf-fer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invari-ably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Gov-ernment. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the pub-lic good.

on and I’d like to take a short walk with them so they can show me what exactly they are proud of doing.

While I’m glad that there is a public gathering to discuss what to do about downtown Renton, I just hope that it doesn’t turn into yet another group that doesn’t think downtown building owners don’t have a responsibility or that the city isn’t responsible for fixing downtown Renton’s problems. No drug store or grocery store or company will come to downtown Renton until they see actual improve-ment in safety and appearance.

for the transportation package.Last year’s budget included money to begin buying land

around the project but did not fund construction, which will build a new flyover ramp connecting the HOT lanes on SR167 to the carpool lanes on I-405, as well as some money to widen the I-405 corridor.

Shridhar also said the money for the project appears to be “front-loaded,” meaning most of it will be released by the legislature by 2017, which would allow work to begin on the project relatively quickly.

Shridhar said while the construction money is the big-gest gain from the bill, other aspects of the transportation package would also benefit Renton. For example, though not Renton-specific funding, money put into the Transpor-tation Improvement Board, funding for the Freight Mobil-ity Board and the Complete Streets Grant program could also benefit city projects.

“Keeping these funds available is good news for us,” Shridhar said.

Shridhar also said it is the city’s understanding that the distribution of the gas tax as provided in the new bill could benefit Renton as well as the Senate provided $375 million to be distributed 50/50 between cities and counties.

Mayor Denis Law has been contacting legislators to urge them to vote for the package. Law said it was important to finally get the interchange project under way.

“We’re very excited about seeing that project move for-ward,” he said.

As of press time, the House of Representatives had yet to vote on the bill.

Probate is the legal process that determines how a deceased person’s assets will be distributed. The Superior Court has jurisdiction to approve the decedent’s Will, and to appoint the person who has the responsibility to administer the estate.

In the process, the rights of the estate’s beneficiaries, as well as the decedent’s creditors and taxing authorities are protected. The financial aspects of the decedent’s life are “wrapped up” and the assets are distributed in accordance with the decedent’s wishes.

Protect your right to distribute your estate as you intend in a cost-effective manner.

I have more than 40 years of experience in estate planning and will handle your case personally. Please call 425-227-8700 to schedule an initial appointment.

salaries.He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent

hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a juris-diction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punish-ment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial

by Jury:For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pre-

tended offencesFor abolishing the free System of English Laws in a

neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing

the same absolute rule into these Colonies:For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most

valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circum-stances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated

Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrant-able jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspon-dence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appeal-ing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created

equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain

unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the

pursuit of Happiness.

[ DECLARATION from page 6]

July is the month to put your mettle to the petal and commit to caring for your blooming baskets

and con-tainer gar-dens. You must water more often when the weather warms up and roots fill the

soil and demand more to eat and drink.

Water until you see drainage

seeping from the hole at the bot-tom of the pot. Fertilize at least once every two weeks to keep petunia and fuchsia baskets in full bloom.

July is also a good time to pinch back petunias by about one-third for bushier plants. Use your prun-ing crumbs as cut flowers as petu-nias can be surprisingly fragrant and long lasting in a vase.

Q. Is it too late to plant vegetables? I see some

nurseries have tomato plants left but I also want to grow some

beans and peas from seed. T.B., Enumclaw

A. Get growing as there is still time this summer

for a harvest of beans, broccoli, spinach and beets this fall if you plant seeds now.

All I am saying is don’t give peas a chance. Peas are a cool season crop and will not do well when planted this late in the sea-son. Your pea seeds may sprout but the warm nights mean they will suffer from blights and other fungus among us.

Tomato plants will do great

if you find them growing in containers and transplant them either into your soil or a larger pot picking the hottest spot on your property. Up against a south or west facing wall and protected from the rain is best for tomato growing in Western Washington.

Bush beans will give a quicker harvest than pole beans and you won’t need to provide tall sup-ports but the taller bean varieties provide more beans to harvest in less space. Pole beans keep producing as long as you keep the new beans picked.

Starts of squash, pepper and eggplants will also do well when planted into the garden this month.

Q. I want to add summer color – I see dahlias

for sale at the garden center but they are shorter than the dahlias I remember my mother growing. In her garden the dahlias would return year after year and get six feet tall. I would prefer these dwarf dahlias but want plants that will return each summer. R.P. , Tacoma

Kent Cornucopia DAYS

44th

Annual

A. The darling dwarf dahlias you see now at the nurseries will bloom

all summer and into the fall on compact plants but most of the short dahlias are annuals which mean they only flower one year and must be replaced annually.

The tall dahlias that grow from a bulb-like root are called tuberous dahlias and this is the type that may overwinter in well-drained soil or you can dig and store the roots in the fall and replant each spring.

A new type of dahlia is now available that is a compact tuberous dahlias that does not need staking but will overwinter like their taller cousins.

All dahlias will continue to bloom if you

keep on picking the flowers so pick out blooming plants now and you’ll still have months of color to enjoy. Dahlias need at a least a half a day of sun and loosen the soil all around the root zone adding some slow-release plant food and compost into the planting area.

Now the good news – compared to most summer blooming plants dahlias do well with less water and less fertilizer making them a great choice for busy gardeners. Just keep picking those blooms.

Q. My lawn is turning brown. How much water and how much fertil-

izer does my lawn need to stay green? I am considering putting in a sprinkler system. T., Olympia

A. This is a hard question with no easy answer. It is natural for

grasses to go brown or dormant in the summer and how much to water depends on your soil, sun and type of lawn seed you have planted.

The general rule of green thumb is one inch of water per week. It is more practical in our region to set an oscillating sprinkler onto your lawn and run it once or twice a week until an empty tuna can or rain gauge shows that the sprinkler has delivered one inch of water. Aerating the lawn in the spring, adding organic matter and reseed-ing with a new drought resistant grass seed next spring or this fall are all ways to keep your lawn green without wasting water.

When it comes to fertilizer the typical

lawn needs one-half to 1 pound of actual nitrogen for every 1,000 square feet. The best time to fertilize lawns in Western Washington is in the spring or fall.

One more tip – just say no to the low mow. Lawns allowed to grow three inches tall and then cut down to two inches will stay green longer and shade out many weeds. Use a mulching mower and leave the clippings on the lawn to return nitrogen to the soil.

Sprinkler systems that come on every day will keep a lawn green but they are a huge waste of water as frequent watering keeps the grass roots near the surface of the soil. Watering a lawn too often will also encourage fungal infections.

NOfficials from Group

Health Cooperative, Ryan Companies US, Inc., and the city of Renton on Mon-day broke ground for their new operations facility in Renton.

The new, 240,000-square-foot, two-building project is expected to house about 1,000 employees when completed.

Renton Mayor Denis Law joined Group Health Presi-dent and CEO Scott Arm-strong and Ryan Companies US President and CEO Pat Ryan to mark the beginning of the construction project.

“Group Health is thrilled to partner with the city of Renton and Ryan Compa-nies to build our newest facility on this historic piece of ground,” Scott Arm-strong, president and CEO, Group Health said in a press release. “The work that will be done in this state-of-the-art building will help support all our members

statewide and will help Group Health remain at the forefront of quality, afford-able health care.”

With officials digging the first shovelful this morn-ing, construction began on the project on the former Longacres site at Southwest 27th Street and Naches Avenue Southwest, just east of the new Sounder Rail Station. The two buildings will provide space for ad-ministrative, lab, pharmacy fulfillment and warehouse operations. Completion is scheduled for late 2016.

The 12-acre site is adja-cent to public transporta-tion and major freeway systems, providing easy access for employees and delivery.

Ryan Companies US, Inc. will serve as developer and general contractor, working with CBRE on design and construction. Collins Woer-man is the project architect.

The new buildings will

house approximately 1,000 employees. These employ-ees will relocate from a nearby Tukwila building. That building, which Group

Health has occupied since 1995, no longer best serves the needs of Group Health members and staff. Group Health will continue to

have administrative staff operate out of their other leased buildings in Tukwila, Seattle, and throughout the state.

Group Health breaks ground on Renton facility

Several months ago I remember sitting in a meeting with Liz Nolan, the Marketing Guru at UW Medicine/Valley Medical Center, discussing the “it” factor in Renton and how to

showcase it.

The “it” fac-tor is the pride and spirit of com-munity as in kin-

ship, unity and coopera-tion. How does the Renton Chamber working in partnership with the City of Renton convey that “community” to potential developers, entrepreneurs and businesses in a wait and see market?

The answer came in a call from Chamber Board Chair

Brent Camann (SECO Development). He told me about Gyros House Medi-terranean Grill.

Last week Gyro’s moved into a larger location across the street from their present location at The Landing. In the midst of getting ready for opening day, they were delayed by the sheer mag-nitude of moving furniture, getting art work up, mop-ping floors and all that it takes to move a restaurant.

Several Boeing employ-ees (about 40) consisting of

pilots, engineers, material handlers and assembly line workers showed up ready to dine on souvlaki, falafels and all things Greek. Seeing that Moussa, the owner, could use some of their elbow grease, they proceed-ed to hang art work, mop floors and get the place ready to open.

Interesting enough when writing this article I noticed on their website that Gyros House says they understand the importance of family and community. Oh and

yes, Moussa rewarded their efforts with fine Greek

cuisine. Moussa also asked

Renton’s ‘it’ factor helps a business move locations

BY TRACEY COMPTON

As of this spring, the Renton School District has begun buying property in North Renton around the former Sar-tori Education Center for the creation of a new elementary school.

The homes and businesses on the site are being pur-chased with funds from a past bond measure. The district intends to build two new elementary schools and complete other school improvement projects around the district with another proposed bond measure, if it is placed on the Feb. 9, 2016, ballot.

The bond measure has yet to be approved by the Renton School Board of Directors, but that approval is expected later this fall.

Recently district spokesperson Randy Matheson was asked to speak at a North Renton Neighborhood Associa-tion meeting to explain the district’s intentions and time-line. A timeline has not been set yet, but it is the district’s hope to have the North Renton elementary school built as soon as possible after a successful bond measure.

The process has involved looking at existing district-owned property, expanding current sites by purchasing houses or businesses immediately adjacent to district property and looking for land to purchase that could be developed into a school site.

According to a September press release, building on existing land, and even purchasing adjacent property to expand a district-owned site, is much more cost effective than buying new land and developing it into a school site.

Another elementary school is proposed for the Ever-green Floral site located adjacent to the Secondary Learn-ing Center in the Skyway neighborhood.

“Elementary schools are full, but not over capacity,” Matheson said in an email. “The two elementary schools are needed to help accommodate current students and the growth that is projected over the next 10 years.”

That district reports that the student population has been growing by 200 students consistently for the past five years.

In North Renton, there are 11 homes and one small grocery store in the block surrounding the former Sartori Education Center.The site is just over three acres and is centrally located in an area of growth, according to the district.

In May, Assistant Superintendent John Knutson present-ed two purchase and sale agreements for the grocery store and office buildings adjacent to the district transportation

center. The school board approved both agreements, 5 to 0.According to Matheson, so far, the buying of property in

the neighborhood has been “very good.” The Renton Reporter reached out to the North Renton

Neighborhood Association for comment, but received none at press time.

that I mention many customers left their phone numbers offering their help in the move.

So there “it” is: Digging in and getting things done for others.

Viet Wah Asian Food Market is moving across the street in a few months. Just saying...

My good friend and mentor Bill has advised me to keep quiet about being new in town and instead just try to “fit in.” The problem is I give myself away every time I mispro-nounce Puyallup, Sammamish, Suquamish, and Tulalip just to name a few.

We just finished the business directory and that made me think about Renton business names. Some make perfect sense: Mighty-and-Tidy, office cleaners; Naan n’ Curry Restaurant, Indian cuisine; The Berliner Pub, German gas-tropub; Renton Coil Spring, titanium springs for aerospace applications. McLendons, complete hardware; and Fred Meyer, supermarket (and they’re not kidding).

Some harder to define Renton business names include: The JOINT, the chiropractic place; Poggi Bonsi, Italian influenced products; IKEA, acronym for Ingvar Kamprad (founder) Elmtaryd (family farm) Agunaryd (town in Swe-den); Stigmare Couture Marketing, “stigmare” is Latin for brand; and In Control, air quality products, for example.

Come by the chamber office at 625 S. Fourth St., and pick up the new Renton business directory to learn them all.

And of course there is the name Renton. Is it “Ren tonne” or is it “Ren tin”? Are residents, “Rentonians, Retonites or Rentors”? This one I have to ask the Renton Rotary Club, they know all things Renton.

The following information was com-piled from Renton Police Department case reports.

BY DEAN A. RADFORD

[email protected]

An assault at Gene Coulon Park at about 6:45 p.m. June 14 moved to Garden Avenue North, where an estimated three dozen teenaged girls got into a huge street fight.

After the initial fight, one combat-ant sent a Facebook message to the other girl, challenging her to “round 2.”

Apparently there’s been a lot of drama between the girls. Mace was sprayed during the fight on Garden Avenue near Lowe’s.

The teens began to disperse as officers arrived. One of them was extremely agitated, screaming at the officer, “stop talking to [her]” and “get out of [her] face.”

A crowd of between 30 and 50 young people had gathered, creating a “very chaotic and dynamic” scene.

Detectives were reviewing the case for possible charges, although the officer noted there was “mutual ag-gression.”

“The scene was one of more difficult to process due to the sheer lack of co-operation and initial hostility toward law enforcement,” an officer wrote.

WOMAN THREATENED WITH CHLOROFORM: A 19-year-old Au-burn woman was robbed of $20 June 4 by four men who threatened to disable her with chloroform and kidnap her if she didn’t turn over her money.

The strong-arm robbery happened at about 9:40 p.m. outside the Safeway store on South Third Street.

Officers detained the four men near Logan Avenue South. The victim iden-tified the one who took her $20.

The suspect denied taking anything and told officers he was at a nearby stop buying pizza, but none of the men had a pizza.

The 23-year-old suspect was ar-rested for investigation of second-degree robbery and booked into the King County Jail. An officer found a $20 bill in his pocket.

A $1,025 STEALING SPREE: A 35-year-old Renton woman picked out a suitcase at Walmart on Rainier Avenue, then walked to the sports department where she picked out a football, which she put in a plastic bag.

She picked out a drink, consumed part of it, then put the rest in her purse. She walked out of the store, where she was stopped by a store security officer who found 63 items worth nearly $745 inside a bag.

After she was arrested, a Renton

Police officer found IDs belonging to others and ad-ditional stolen items, for a total theft of $1,025.

Inside a hide-a-key box in the purse was a clear crystalline substance the officer recognized as methamphetamine that she said belonged to her nephew. She was now facing felony charges for drug possession and theft.

She was booked into the SCORE regional jail.

On June 16, she reported that someone had used a Visa card that belongs to her mother that had been confiscated by her arresting officer. She suspects the officer spent $417 at Nordstrom’s using the card and wants to file theft charges.

CAR PROWLED: A laptop and tote bag were stolen at about 5 p.m. June 14 from a vehicle parked at the Renton Community Center.

A rear passenger window was broken. The victim is a 72-year-old Ellensburg woman.

Street fight of about three dozen girls moves from Coulon to Garden Avenue

Early Sunday morning, the Renton Fire Department responded to a report of a vehicle crashed into a building near the corner of Petrovitsky Road and 173rd Avenue.

According to a post on the Renton Fire and Emer-gency Services Facebook page, the call came in at 2:36 a.m. Sunday. Upon arrival crews found a serious injury accident involving a vehicle fire, a second vehicle into a building with one critical patient unconscious along with four other patients.

Crews rapidly extricated the critical patient, extin-guished the vehicle fire and treated a total of five pa-tients. Four patients were transported to Valley Medical center by a Renton Fire aid unit and Tri-Med and one patient was transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

The cause of the accident is under investigation by the KCSO and the condition of the patients is unknown.
