In an intense meeting, King County Library System staff and consultants Tuesday night presented the Renton community with two options for the interior space planning of a new down-town library.
One option was presented for the library exterior.
A majority of those attending did not participate in KCLS’ small-group discus-sions, instead demanding the design team address the huge crowd’s concerns as a whole.
From the start, KCLS’ presentation was fraught with loud interruptions from the audience asking, then telling staff they want direct and open communication. The library’s public-address system failed, making it hard to hear the speakers.
The library system has been criti-cized at its recent public meetings for its proposed design, which would create a smaller library over the Cedar River and move the main entry from the pedestrian bridge to near the parking lot.
KCLS has also been accused by some community members of not includ-

The Renton City Council has requested a formal resolu-tion be brought before them calling for the city to de-annex from the King County Library System.
The council Monday night requested the measure as a means to be able to discuss the city’s options regarding the library.
Council President Randy Corman suggested the motion, saying the city needs to use all of the “levers” it can when dealing with KCLS regarding the rebuild of the Cedar River Library.
Speaking in front of a council chambers packed with members of the group Save the Cedar River Library...Again! and after an extended public comment period focused entirely on the first plans sent for review by KCLS, Corman said state law allows either side to begin the de-annexation after three years and called it “irresponsible” for the city not

The Renton Municipal Airport tower is one of 149 towers around the country that will close April 7 due to the federal budget sequester, unless the city can find the money to keep it staffed.
The airport will remain open, but the traffic-control tower will be empty unless Congress acts to end the federal sequester or the City of Renton finds money to keep it open.
Renton Municipal has op-erated with a control tower since 1943, according to Air-port Manager Ryan Zulauf.

Former Seattle Mayor Norm Rice will be the keynote speaker at an upcoming fundraiser for Renton schools.
The Friends of Renton Schools Foundation is hosting the annual “Be a Champion” fundraising breakfast at 7:30 a.m., April 29 at the Renton Pavilion Event Center, 233 Burnett Ave. S., Renton. Check-in is at 7 a.m.
Rice was chosen to address the breakfast gathering because he is a “dynamic man, local UW graduate and has 35 years of service to our community,” said Pam Teal, founda-tion representative and school board member.
This is the fourth year for the annual fundraising event and organizers hope for just as much, if not more donations. The past three years have netted more than $200,000, according to Teal.
“We have a data base of more than 500 names, but the last time I checked we have more than 90,000 residents who live in Renton,” she wrote in an email to the Renton Reporter. “My dream every night is that if at least half our residents gave Friends of Renton Schools a $20 donation, we could make over $900,000. That would be an amazing gift to the 15,500 students and the dedicated staff in the Renton School District.”
Funds go toward early literacy, math development, support for students transitioning from elementary and middle schools, mentoring programs, Advanced Placement support and before- and after-school academic support.

With new leadership, the Renton Technical College Foundation hopes to sup-port students with more resources.
Heather Winfrey will be the newest face on staff at the school’s upcoming dinner and silent auction in April. She is the new foundation director.
The “Garden Under the Stars” fundraising event is 6 to 8:30 p.m., April 12 at RTC, 3000 N.E. Fourth St., Renton.
Scott Bond, CEO of the Washington State Hospital Association, will be the featured speaker addressing RTC’s health-care pro-grams. Funds raised from the dinner will go toward scholarships for students at the college.
“This board is incredibly invested in the one thing that can’t be taken away from us, right: education,” said Winfrey in a recent interview.
She comes to RTC from, most recently, the Ap-prenticeship and Non-Tra-ditional Employment for Women non-profit, as their
executive director. Winfrey said she is interested in en-gaging donors throughout the community, long-time supporters and those unfa-miliar with RTC.
“We’ve got a really great opportunity here to connect back to donors and alumni and bring the community together to celebrate what the college is all about,” she said. “And that’s what this
dinner is all about.”The event will be held in
the college’s cafeteria and catered by RTC culinary students.
Angela Wingate, founda-tion president, reports that tuition for students has gone up 24 percent in the last two years.
“And right now we’re fac-ing a time when it may go up even more,” she said. “So
tuition keeps increasing, it’s getting harder and harder for people especially lower-income (people) to stay in school.”
Winfrey said she wants to look at ways the founda-tion can support students, departments and faculty, but also foster relationships and networking.
“So the college is a responsible place,” Winfrey said. “The board wants to ensure that we are helping students, who are looking at those high-demand op-portunity jobs, get to those jobs and make a permanent economic change in their lives.”
Tickets to the dinner are $50 general admission, $25 for RTC Advisory Com-mittee members, $2,000 for a premier table, $1,000 for a gold table and $400 for a dinner/auction table sponsor.

Anticavity Tip: Water consumption is the most effective way to slow cavity progression in children because of its natural ability to reduce intraoral acidity and cleanse the mouth. How much water is enough? As a general rule, the amount of water your child should consume (ounces) a day is equal to half their total body weight in pounds. Example: 28 pound child = 14 ounces or 2 cups; 46 pound child
= 23 ounces or 3 cups. For more information about how to keep your child’s mouth healthy, visit us online at www.akidsplacedentistry.com

The top three candidates for the next Renton Schools superinten-dent have been chosen.
The district announced the final-ists last week. The candidates will meet with district staff, parents, City Council members, business leaders and others in three separate public meetings. The top three finalists are Lester “Flip” Herndon Jr., superintendent of Bremerton
schools; Merri Rieger, chief student achievement officer, Kent schools and Crystalee Sweeting, assistant superintendent for instruction, learning, curriculum and assess-ment of Puyallup schools.
The three finalists will spend time, a day, in the district followed by a public meeting at one of the three elementary schools. The pub-lic is invited to attend the meetings, ask questions of the candidates and help guide the School Board in making the final decision.
Led by the Renton School Board, an advisory panel of community members, parents and district staff held the preliminary interviews of six candidates from a pool of 12 who applied for the position. Mary Alice Heuschel vacated the post when she was selected as Gov. Jay Inslee’s chief of staff.
Ten of the candidates were from Washington state, one was from Oregon and another from Hawaii.
The new Renton superintendent is expected to begin work July 1.

Michael Chadd Boysen paid for his flight from Fairwood with cash and jewelry he stole from his murdered grandparents, includ-ing his grandfather’s wedding ring he pawned in Kent, according to King County prosecutors.
Prosecutors and King County Sheriff ’s detectives spelled out their case against the 26-year-old Boysen in documents filed March 21, charging Boysen with aggra-vated first-degree murder in the deaths March 9 of his grandpar-ents, Robert and Norma Taylor.
Boysen was transferred by the state Department of Corrections to the King County Jail in Seattle, where he is being held without bail.
Boysen is accused of murder-ing his grandparents just hours after they picked him up at the state prison in Monroe. He was arrested on March 12 in Lincoln City, Ore., after a 10-hour standoff with police.
If he’s convicted, Boysen faces two sentences, life in prison or death, according to the prosecu-tor’s office.
Arraignment is scheduled for 9 a.m. April 4 at the Maleng Re-
gional Justice Center in Kent.Boysen would face two pos-
sible sentences, if convicted: life in prison without release or the death penalty, according to Dan Donohoe, a spokesman for King County Prosecutor Dan Satter-berg.
The law requires that the prosecutor review the case over
the next 30 days to determine whether to file written notice of a special sentencing proceeding to determine whether the death penalty
should be imposed, or whether sufficient mitigating circum-stances exist to merit leniency, according to Donohoe.
“This decision includes a careful examination of all the evidence. If additional time is needed, we may ask the court to grant more time to make that decision,” Donohoe said in a press release.
The charging documents offer many already-released details of how Robert, 82, and Norma, 80, welcomed home their grandson from prison on Friday, March 8,
including hosting a small party for the family. The party ended at about 9:30 p.m.
Initially, investigators didn’t release or didn’t know a motive for the slayings.
On March 10 a detective inter-viewed two inmates at the state prison in Monroe, who recounted how Boysen had spoke of his anger toward his grandparents and his desire to kill them. He said he planned to steal their cash and car.
Boysen’s mother, Melanie Tay-lor, the Taylors’ daughter, checked on her son and grandparents in the early evening of March 9, after another relative wasn’t able to contact the Taylors at noon as planned.
Using a key, Melanie Taylor went inside the house on 145th Avenue Southeast in Fairwood. She didn’t immediately see her adopted son or parents. She waited for a few minutes, then looked around. She found her parents dead in the closet of a spare bedroom, where her son was supposed to sleep. She called 911 at 6:15 p.m.
Boysen was gone, as was her parents’ red 2001 Chrysler 300.
Detectives with the King County Sheriff ’s Office couldn’t
find any signs the house was forc-ibly entered. There weren’t signs of a struggle.
The county medical exam-iner, in ruling the Taylors’ deaths homicides, indicated the couple had been strangled to death. Part of a bloody shoelace was found on Norma Taylor’s neck.
A jewelry armoire was found intact in the master bedroom and a second also was locked and ap-parently untouched.
A ledger showed regular depos-its of cash into two now-torn and empty envelopes. The last entry was March 8 for a total of $5,200 in cash saved during almost seven years. Norma Taylor was known to save cash at home.
Boysen paid cash for a 2002 Ford Taurus in Salem, Ore., not far from where his grandparents’ Chrysler was found in a Walmart parking lot, according to charging documents.
Robert Taylor’s American Ex-press Card was used at 7:07 a.m. March 9 at the Walmart in Cov-ington to buy $600 worth of mu-sic CDs, an iPad tablet computer and protective case and a 25-inch suitcase. About 90 minutes later, an $800 charge was made against Taylor’s Visa card at a Fred Meyer for a pre-paid cell phone and an
HP laptop computer.On March 14, detectives
searched the trunk of the Taurus. Inside were Robert Taylor’s wallet, the HP computer, a tool chest full of jewelry, a Lane cedar box containing men’s and women’s wrist watches, a Winchester rifle and several cans of kerosene and propane bottles.
On March 15, detectives learned from Melanie Taylor that a jewelry armoire had been opened, emptied of expensive jewelry and locked again. The couple’s sterling silver silverware was gone.
A sheriff ’s detective learned that on March 9 Boysen had sold bags of jewelry, silverware and coins to AC Coins in Kent; he had told a clerk he purchased items at an estate sale in Lebanon, Ore., according to charging documents. The documents note that Boysen’s father lives in Lebanon.
Among the jewelry recovered was Robert Taylor’s wedding ring, inscribed with the date he and Norma wed nearly 60 years earlier, March 5, 1954.
In an interview released through the Sheriff ’s Office, Melanie Taylor recounted how her parents loved Chadd “more than life itself.”

to pursue all of its options – in-cluding de-annexation – in order to ensure the city gets the library citizens want.
“Their timeframe is up,” he said, citing complaints in dealing with KCLS regarding the Renton library. “They had three years.”
Voters of Renton approved an-nexation in February 2010 by a small margin.
Corman compared the service from the library to other service providers who are not living up to customer expectations.
“It’s like my phone company,” he said. “If I wasn’t getting good recep-tion, I’d drop them.”
Councilman Don Persson said he would like to know the ramifica-tions to the city if they do attempt to de-annex, even if it was just to be used as a “hammer” in negotiations.
“Whenever I think I have the hammer on somebody and I put it down, it sometimes costs me more money than if I worked through the problem,” he said.
Councilman Rich Zwicker said while he is “optimistic” the negotia-tions would continue and end up in Renton’s favor, he warned against using de-annexation as a threat and said it is his belief that without KCLS, the city might end up with
no library at this point.He then said he thought this
was something the whole council should discuss and moved for a for-mal resolution regarding de-annex-ation that could then be discussed at a future committee of the whole meeting, which was promptly sec-onded and approved.
After the meeting David Keyes, speaking for the Save the Cedar River LIbrary ... Again! said he was encouraged to hear the discus-sion by the council and though he disagreed with Zwicker that losing KCLS would mean no library, he said it was important to discuss the alternatives.
“We don’t trust KCLS at all,” he said.
No date was given for the Com-mittee of the Whole discussion.
Also at the meeting, members of the Cedar River group urged the council and the city to for-mally reject the plans put forth by KCLS prior to what they said was a deadline of Thursday or it would be considered approved.
The council and administration said they had already formally re-jected the plans and had told KCLS that they would not approve any-thing until at least after Tuesday’s open house at the Library, when the public had a chance to comment on the plans.

Renton residents approved annexation by small marginBy BriAN BEcklEy
The energy put out by the city’s radio-read water meters, commonly referred to as “smart meters,” is about four million times less than that put out by a cell phone, according to a presentation at Monday’s City Council Committee of the Whole meeting.
“If you walk through the radio beam at the grocery store, you get more exposure,” said city Water Engineer Supervi-sor Abdoul Gafour during his presentation.
The council called for the briefing following concerns from some residents that the installation of the radio-read meters has caused birds to disappear from their neighbor-hoods.
The city began installing the radio-read meters in 2008, due in part to a high percentage of unaccounted-for water. The meters send out a signal every four hours to one of three data collectors positioned on water towers in the city. The idea is that leaks can be detected and dealt with much more quickly, as well as the budget savings to the city in sending staff to read meters in person.
When completely rolled out, the city will install 17,400 of the
meters at a cost of $4.6 million. The receivers are placed on water towers in Rolling Hills, on West Hill and in the High-lands. The signal sent out by the meters is picked up by one, two, or all three of the receivers.
“The signal is omni- directional,” Gafour said.
Gafour also said the city’s meters are not “smart meters,”
however, because they are a one-way instru-ment. “Smart meters” are two-way
devices that allow for more control from the utility’s end.
City officials have insisted the meters are well within government health and safety guidelines and are safe to both humans and the environment.
According to Gafour, the exposure levels at three feet away from Renton’s meters are 1/14,000,000th of the FCC limit and at 10 feet from the meter, that level drops to 1/160,000,000th of the limit.
Cellphones produce four million times the amount of radiation than the city’s meters, Gafour said.
“We don’t believe these
meters are the cause of the concerns of the residents,” City Administrator Jay Covington said.
During his presentation, Gafour said not enough was known about non-thermal ef-fects and that he could not find studies on bird migration and feeding in regard to the meters.
Council President Randy Corman said the numbers seemed “reasonable” and was interested to see that cell phones put out four million times the energy.
“I suspect it’s safe. I have a cell phone,” he said, but added “the jury is still out on RF (ra-dio frequency) radiation.”
Paul Ouellette, who first brought the missing-bird issue to the city council after noticing the feeders at his house in the Rolling Hills neighborhood were not being used after the meters were installed, said he appreciated the presentation but still had issues with their use.
“If you’re not close to one of these receivers, you have birds,” he said.
Oulette presented the council with a petition signed by more than 70 residents asking for a moratorium on the deployment of the radio-read meters.
The council did not take any action on the use of the meters.

public feedback on the design and with-holding information. Some are upset because there have been many on-going meetings to collect that information from the community.
Library Director Bill Ptacek opened the presentation, but was interrupted by Renton resident Chris Clifford and others, who announced they wanted a different format for the open house. Clifford told the crowd to stay in its seats and not break into groups to hear KCLS’ design rationale. The attendees filled one wing of the library and
spilled into standing-room-only areas.Ptacek and Ruth Baleiko, of architectural
firm Miller Hull, continued their address to the group. They pinned their design decisions to the standard put forth in the interlocal agreement with the City of Renton and the constraints of an $8.9 mil-lion budget. Baleiko presented two options for interior space planning for the audience to comment on later.
Baleiko gave a summary of the budget breakdown for the intended renovation. Building envelope upgrades are estimated to take up 29 percent of the budget; plumb-ing, 4 percent; mechanical, 25 percent;
seismic upgrades, 23 percent, and 19 per-cent for finishes. The latter does not include books or furniture, which will come from a separate KCLS fund.
When the project team finished its explanation and approach to operational issues, Ptacek called for the crowd to break
up and attend smaller stations to have their questions answered and give feedback. His request was loudly refuted by audience members. The majority refused to budge from their seats.
Some members of a large crowd at an open house at the downtown Renton library visited stations set up Tuesday night to review architect renderings and other aspects of the library rebuild. BRian Beckley, Renton Reporter

Barbara Halverson Barbara Halverson died March 2, 2013
at home in Renton, Washington. She was 91 years old. An avid reader, traveler, volunteer and watercolor artist, Barbara lived life to the fullest.
Born November 17, 1921 in Big Bay, Michigan, the first child of Rhea and Howell Deaver. Barbara was soon followed by her sister, Betty. In 1933, due to black lung, Mr. Deaver quit coal mining and moved the family from Colorado to Anchorage, Alaska. In 1939, Barbara graduated Salutatorian from Anchorage High School. However, even with a scholarship to the University of Alaska, her family could not afford the room and board, so she went to work for National Bank of Alaska. In 1941, she married Vance A. Halverson (d. 1982) and they started Spenard Service Station, which they operated for many years. By 1951, they had added four children to their family.
In 1971, she earned her A.A. degree from Anchorage Community College and, much to her family’s pride, passed her CPA exam on the first try. A few years later, Barbara moved to Portland, Oregon and completed her Bachelor’s in Accounting, graduating Magna Cum Laude, from Portland State University. In 1991, she moved to Renton, Washington to be near her family.
Barbara had many interests and hobbies: she loved watercolors, gifting her loved ones with original artwork on birthdays and holidays; she was an avid traveler, visiting Europe, South America, Japan, and traveling all over Canada and the United States; and she was active all her life, especially enjoying hiking and cross country skiing. She loved to keep her mind active with reading, foreign language classes and travel. Barbara was an incredibly generous and inspirational mother and grandmother. She will be dearly missed.
She is survived by her children, Eileen Halverson of Greenwater, WA, Connie Halverson Osbon of Portland, OR, Kay Donald (Bill) of Renton, WA., and Clarke Halverson of Renton, WA; grandchildren, Allison Donald, Mary Donald and John Donald of Renton, WA, and Janine Donald of Salt Lake City, UT; and two great-grandchildren, Rio and Riley Donald. She was predeceased by her grandson, Todd Osbon, in 1986.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, April 13, at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, 2:00 P.M., 99 Wells Ave S., Renton. Memorials are suggested to the Salvation Army, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church or Mazamas Mountain Climbing Club of
Portland, OR. 757277

“I am not going to the stations,” said Elizabeth Stevens of Renton. “We’re staying here along with the majority of people because we want to provide input to the speakers as a group.”
As a frequent patron of the Cedar River library, Stevens emphatically expressed, as many did, how “critical” the situation is now.
“I think that the critical thing here is that the citizens of Renton have participated in months and months of public input meetings for what’s important to the people of Renton and that has been for naught,” she said.
Jasper Kinnay of Renton was one of the people who ven-tured to the stations. He actively questioned Ptacek about library usage in the area and services. After he received his answer, Kinnay told the Renton Reporter he did not feel the dialogue with KCLS has been very effective.
The leadership is not communicating ideas well to the public, he said.
“Even with the best intentions, the communication is not going well,” Kinnay said.
Howard McOmber, of Renton, left his comment at a design station and was heard telling design team staff about the “disconnect” he felt between KCLS and the com-munity.
“They haven’t come back with anything that shows that they’ve given serious consideration to the suggestions we’ve given,” he said.
Eventually, Ptacek reconvened the meeting of the large group in one area for a question-and-answer session and recording of people’s concerns. The audience spoke up, calling for the current design to stay intact, requesting alternative design options and cost figures and even plead-ing for a new design competition to request ideas from the world at large, among other comments.
Community activist Stuart Avery asked KCLS to allow
the City of Renton to deliberate on adding additional funding to the project before KCLS moves forward.
“We need other options,” Avery said.Baleiko of Miller Hull told the crowd she was doing her
best to address their concerns. She is a project manager on the team. Again and again, she broke down figures for estimated construction costs and the current budget. She asked the audience to keep in mind costs reserved for permitting fees, inspections and the like.
“We need to hold money for those pieces that come out of the same wallet,” she said.
In the end, Ptacek stressed that no construction bids have been done for the project because that requires a complete set of drawings and the team isn’t at that stage yet. He also reiterated technical details about the require-ments of the building, such as weight-bearing issues or load requirements.
After the meeting, Ptacek had this to say: “We had lots of comment; we had lots of participation. We had a lot of people, a big turnout. And we got a lot of comments, so that will be really helpful.”
He said staff planned to take the feedback, respond to it and put together another presentation for the April 15 Renton City Council meeting.
Five minutes before closing at 9 p.m., the library over the Cedar River still had a full house of people congregat-ing and talking about it.

Important design work done I read Tracey Compton’s March 21 article about
library design (“KCLS Details Reasons Behind Moving Library Entrance.)
The article states “Now KCLS officials are urging caution when talking about the design ele-ments of the downtown library because they say it’s too early in the process.” It is nonsense to urge such caution. In fact, it’s misleading. Right now is the time to be very concerned about KCLS’s inten-tion. The schematic design – the design presented to the public on March 26 – is extremely impor-tant and deserves the full attention and critique of the citizenry.
As I understand it from talking to an architect, if the city approves this schematic design, then whatever is in it becomes official and is the basis for further detailed design (walls, rooms, interior components, etc.). That will give KCLS the green light to develop their idea of demolishing part of the foundation slab and separating the building from the pedestrian bridge. That means that the time for concern about design is right now, not later. In addition, such demolition will trigger extensive environmental reviews that will take time and waste money. I have the feeling that KCLS management knows this and is deliberately pursuing a disastrous plan.
Julie Brand’s statement that “we’re nowhere near the design phase” must refer to the phase of design that follows approval of the schematic de-sign. I got the impression from her quotes that she thinks the schematic design is a trivial matter and that people should be saving their concerns about design for later. To be diplomatic, I will assume that she is misinformed about the seriousness of the schematic design.
The article paraphrases Mr. Ptacek as saying “The internal operations and factors such as utili-ties forced the project team to relocate the main entry next to the parking lot.” Sadly, KCLS has not shown why internal operations (whatever that means) are so important that they take precedence over the key issues of library design repeatedly expressed by concerned Renton residents.
And what is it about the utilities that makes it necessary to move the entrance? I haven’t seen heating ducts or electrical conduits entering the building through the entrance. Nor have I seen bathroom plumbing anywhere near the entrance. Where is the analysis to prove that keeping the
entrance in place would be unfeasible for the utili-ties or too expensive? This “utilities issue” sounds like another empty argument designed to deflect serious discussion. Dave Beedon, Renton
Shared view for school chiefThe South King County Communities of Color
Advocacy Group would like to extend a warm thank you to the Renton School District Board of Directors for inviting us to participate on the advisory panel that was part of the RSD Superin-tendent selection process. We are appreciative of the opportunity to serve and provide input. As an advocacy group, one of our core objectives is to provide a representative voice for communi-ties of color around equity in education. We were very impressed by the extent in which the district acknowledged the importance of community involvement in the process and the need to hear these voices. This shows that the Board of Direc-tors is indeed living the District Improvement Plan.
Some of our desired qualities in an ideal candi-date are as follows:
• A proven track record and passion for elimi-nating the achievement/ opportunity gap;
• The ability to create innovative pathways for educational success;
• Feels community involvement is important to help achieve student success;
• Encourage participation for students of color, low income, and Special Education students in AP, science, and math courses; and
• Experience with improving graduation rates for all populations and reducing dropout rates
As evidenced by the questions to the candidates from the board, it was obvious that we shared a similar vision which is the success of all students. Focusing on closing the achievement/opportunity gap, discipline equity, and adjusting to the chang-ing demographics of the RSD are crucial elements to student success.
Now it’s our turn; the community has an oppor-tunity to give input at three upcoming community meetings and hear directly from the candidates. (Editor’s note: See page 3 for list of meetings.)
We will be wearing our name tags. We look forward to connecting with you at one of the upcoming meetings. Andaiye Qaasim, Minister Ken Curl, Renton
It probably should come as no surprise that an open house presented by the King County Library System was filled with rancor, frustra-tion and shouting.
And, some pretty important information.For three years the fate of Renton’s two
libraries, including the beloved one over the Cedar River, has ripped at the hearts of resi-dents and divided the city’s leadership. That’s plenty of time for nerves to fray, especially since there’s no clear way forward after all these years.
Tuesday night at the downtown library a huge crowd heard KCLS Director Bill Ptacek and his staff and consultants explain the work-ing concept for the new downtown library. I could have written the word “plan,” too, because I believe that a smaller library and moving the library’s entrance are a key part of that working concept. Residents are right to speak loudly about those two key concepts, which really feel like decisions.
Tuesday’s meeting was an exercise in democracy, a contentious discussion that left some people un-comfortable and dismayed by some uncivil behavior and others informed by compelling facts about the real costs of preserving the Cedar River library.
So, now how to move forward. This was one of KCLS’s typical open houses about early design decisions. A similar one was held for the Piazza library, rejected overwhelmingly by voters.
First, KCLS officials need to work at learning how to listen to Renton residents. “Divde and conquer” perhaps is too strong to describe KCLS’s intent for the small group discussions; but it should have been clear to KCLS that many in Renton don’t like that format, even if it’s effective.
Mayor Denis Law and the City Council have what is perhaps the greatest political and pol-icy controversy to face the city’s leadership in recent times. They have to follow agreements with KCLS, but not forget that many residents are giving them real-time direction.
The City Council is right to at least put de-annexation from KCLS on the table. But that has to be only so the council and citizens can fully debate all issues before them. The city can’t go back now, without a huge expense, on ensuring library services for its citizens.
And let’s not forget that there’s a second new library, too, the one in the Highlands that is a cornerstone of the redevelopment of the Sunset area. Renton’s users of that library deserve equal say and consideration in this debate.
KCLS needs to learn to listen – or make it clear it is listening through actions – and Renton’s leaders need to heed the advice of those they serve.
But listening and heeding are only part of this.
Financial reality and political necessity may mean a bright new library straddles the Cedar River. That’s certainly acceptable if we re-member that what happens inside that library, including new family traditions, are what’s worthwhile.
Library controversy will take leadership
to finally resolve

Zulauf said the closing of the tower could “compromise” safety in and around the airport.
“We’ve never operated without a tower,” Zulauf said. “We have a complex airspace.”
Seattle control will still maintain the airspace, but due to Renton Municipal’s location in a valley, the Seattle radar does not have a view of the Renton runways.
Though not required by law, pilots will be expected to self-report on take-offs and landings beginning April 7 and will have to keep an eye out for fellow aircraft over the airport.
“We heard from communities across the country about the importance of their towers and these were very tough decisions,” said Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood in a press release. “Unfortunately we are faced with a series of difficult choices that we have to make to reach the required cuts under sequestration.”
“We will work with the airports and the operators to en-
sure the procedures are in place to maintain the high level of safety at non-towered airports,” said FAA Administrator Michael Huerta.
In early March, FAA proposed to close 189 contract air traffic control towers as part of its plan to meet the $637 million in cuts required under budget sequestration and announced that it would consider keeping open any of these towers if doing so would be in the national interest. Twenty-four of the towers initially proposed for closure will remain open due to national interests.
Renton Mayor Denis Law said Monday the FAA rejected Renton’s request to keep the airport tower open.
Some communities will elect to participate in FAA’s non-federal tower program and assume the cost of continued, on-site air traffic control services at their airport. The FAA said it is committed to facilitating the transition.
Zulauf said Renton officials were “still trying to sort this all out” after just getting news of the pending closure, but after the announcement last week, plans were to shut down
the tower.“What happens next is the tower closes on April 7 un-
less we can figure out how to fund it with dollars found through the airport,” Zulauf said. “Currently we don’t have the dollars to operate the tower.”

Fire damages Skyway church
A commercial fire late Tuesday afternoon caused about $45,000 damage to two buildings, including the Greater Gospel Temple Church, in Skyway, accord-ing to King County Fire District 20.
Renton firefighters also responded to the fire.
A passing King County Sheriff ’s deputy alerted Sky-way Fire to the blaze behind the church in the 12600 block of Renton Avenue South just after 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, two buildings out of the fire station.
Fire damage was limited to the exterior of the main building and an adjunct building, according to Dave Nelson, a fire district spokesman. Minor smoke and water damage was reported inside the Gospel Temple.

The following information is compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.
By DEAN A. RADFORD
A 19-year-old Renton man was given a verbal warning for smoking marijuana in his pickup truck Feb. 27 in the Highlands.
Someone reported to police that they thought a drug deal was happening in the 5300 block of Northeast Fourth Street. The officer saw the man rolling a “blunt,” or an
empty cigar casing filled with a “flowery substance” the officer recognized as marijuana.
The man apologized to the officer. He admitted he pur-
chased the marijuana but he has a valid license to smoke marijuana for medical reasons.
The officer pointed out the legalized marijuana law ap-plies to those 21 and older. Nor can he buy marijuana from someone in a parking lot. But the man told the officer it’s too far to drive to a legal dispensary.
The man told the officer his friend who solid him the marijuana has a license, too, but he declined to disclose his name. In giving the man a warning the officer told the man to buy his marijuana from a dispensary and to smoke it in the privacy of his him and not in public.
The officer seized the man’s 7.93 grams of marijuana. No criminal charges were pursued.
Brother, sister fight over RufflesA brother and sister got into a bloody fight over who
would get a bag of Ruffle’s potato chips on Feb. 26.The argument then involved the siblings’ mother, who is
eight months pregnant. The mother was kicked about 10 times in the stomach by her daughter; the mother was to be taken to the Valley Medical Center emergency room.
The daughter was taken to the youth detention center in Seattle for investigation of fourth-degree assault for injur-ing her mother and brother.
Bomb squad checks store grenadeBomb technicians from the Port of Seattle determined
that a military hand grenade included in donations to the Goodwill store on Northeast Sunset Boulevard was inert.
An officer and store security took the grenade to the back of the store, outside. The area was secured. The store couldn’t determine who donated the grenade.
Nurse helps officer by translatingA Valley Medical Hospital nurse who speaks Russian
helped a Renton police officer with translation as the of-ficer arrested a man who spent nearly all day in the hospital lobby Feb. 14.
Hospital security staff repeatedly asked the 61-year-old Seattle man to leave, but he refused. He didn’t need medical attention. The officer had contacted him the day before for extreme intoxication elsewhere.
The officer twice asked the nurse to tell the man he needed to leave or face arrest. He cursed at the officer in Russian, which the nurse translated.
The officer then took the man’s arm, but the man jerked away and said in English, “Don’t touch me.” After a struggle with two officers, the man was placed in handcuffs and taken to the SCORE jail, where he was booked for investi-gation of first-degree criminal trespass.
Man looking for dog robbed of cellA 30-year-old Seattle man out looking for his friend’s
dog just after midnight Feb. 15 was robbed of his cell phone.
The man had stopped at the side of Southeast Fifth Street to answer a cell call when a man walked up to the side of his car. The man asked if the victim was looking for some-thing and victim answered, his dog.
The suspect responded, “I won, give me your phone.” He leaned into the car and grabbed the phone. The victim grabbed for the phone and the suspect hit him in the cheekbone.
The victim drove off and called 911. The suspect is de-scribed as an Hispanic male in his mid 30s.Dean A. Radford can be reached at 425-255-3484, ext. 5050

for a 4-0 victory Tuesday on the road at Foster.
After spotting Highline an early goal in Friday’s game, junior midfielder Luis Puga
picked up the game’s only goal in the 35th minute off an assist
by senior Forward Sam Bunnell.
Tuesday against Foster, Brunell picked up the team’s first goal
in the 12th minute off an assist from Reyes Garcia to give the
Highlanders a 1-0 lead, which held going into the half.
In the second half, Hazen took charge. Garcia scored first, off an assist from Marcelo Castro, then Isiah Blount picked up a
goal off an assist from Jorman Gonzalez before Castro and Brunell teamed up for their second of the night to give
Hazen the 4-0 win.Sophomore keeper Jaime
“Chino” Martinez picked up his second shutout.

After four years and two Seamount League championships, Lindbergh High School football coach Pat O’Grady announced Tuesday that he is stepping down to be able to spend more time with his son.
O’Grady has been with the Eagles for seven years, three as an assistant and the past four as head coach, where he racked up a record of 32-9.
Grady was twice named Seamount League Coach of the Year, in 2009 and 2012.
According to an email from Lindbergh athletic director Keith Henning, O’Grady is stepping down as coach to be able to watch his son play football at Auburn High School on Friday nights.
In his short time at the helm of the Lindbergh Eagle football program, O’Grady has racked up some impressive notables:
• 2008 Seamount League Assistant Coach of the Year;
• 2009 Seamount League Champion;• 2009 3A State quarter finals;• 2009 & 2012 Seamount League Coach of the
Year;• 2009 Seattle Seahawks Coach of the Week;• 2009 Seattle Times All-Area Coach of the
Year; and• 2010, 2011, 2012 2A (champ) No. 1 seed.The position of head football coach has been

The renton indians baseball team picked up their first win of the season Tuesday
night with a commanding 13-1 victory over the Evergreen Wolverines in the first game of what could be a very busy week for the
Renton nine. The win gives the Indians a 1-4 record so far this season. Above, the
Evergreen catcher can’t hold on to the ball as another Renton run scores. This past
weekend, Renton traveled to Bellingham for a pair of games on Saturday. In the
opener, the Indians fell to Bellingham 28-0 and then dropped the second game 19-0
to Meridian. The Indians were scheduled to play Wednesday at Highline, Thursday at
Washington and Friday at Foster, weather permitting. BRIAn BECkLEY, Renton Reporter

The defending Seamount League champion Lind-bergh Eagles baseball team is hoping for a repeat of last year’s undefeated season.
Returning from the team that last year led the league in nearly offensive category are several first team All-League players. Catcher and league batting champion Tyler Gould and his incred-ible .619 batting average are back on the field, along with first basemen/pitcher Matt Stuart and outfielder Craig Yamaguchi.
According to coach Benny Benavides, Gould is injured to start the season, and team “workhorse” Derrick Holt will be doing
the catching until Gould recovers.
Also returning after missing all but two games last year is Cameron Callen who will be at shortstop and pitching.
Other key players to watch this year will be Matt Hernandez who will be pitching and playing outfield, Taylor Scarvie who will be pitching and playing first base, and second-basemen/pitcher Enrique Martinez.
According to Bena-vides, the team expects to compete hard every day and play sound, fundamen-tal baseball through the season.
The Eagles began the sea-son 3-1, with a 2-1 confer-ence record.
