Number of homeless counted in Renton doubles

This year’s One Night Count recorded double the amount of unsheltered indi-viduals in Renton, a jump from 79 to 160 individuals.

The count, conducted by Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness and All Home last week, resulted in a pre-liminary estimation of 4,505 unsheltered

individuals throughout Kind County – a 19 percent increase from 2015.

Of the 160 counted in Renton, 75 individuals were found in cars/trucks, 18 individuals in or around structures, 16 individuals in alleys and 14 individuals in roadways.

“We look for folks sleeping in public places not meant to be regular sleeping accommodation for human beings,” said Cara Custer, clinical service manager at

Valley Cities Counseling and Consulta-tion and one of the lead organizers for the Renton count. “This may include park benches, under bushes, in doorways, under bridges, etc. We count each person we encounter and if it appears someone is living in a structure or vehicle (fogged or covered window, etc.) we assume two people per vehicle, tent or structure.”

According to Custer, it is hard to deter-

Two dead from carbon monoxide poisoningBY DEAN A. RADFORD

Two men and a dog died Monday afternoon when they were overcome by carbon monoxide from a car left running in a closed garage to charge its battery, ac-cording to the Renton Police Department.

The bodies of two men, the 66-year-old resident of the house and a 28-year-old visitor, were discovered at about 3 p.m. by relatives visiting the house in the 500 block of Seneca Avenue Northwest.

Investigators determined the resident was running his car in the garage with the garage door down in order to charge the battery, according to Renton Police Com-mander David Leibman.

Joos out as head of hospital commission

In a 3-2 vote by fellow commissioners, Dr. Paul Joos was replaced Monday night by Dr. Tamara Sleeter as president of the Public Hospital District No. 1 commission.

It didn’t become publicly clear until later in the meeting why three commissioners wanted to hold new elections – Joos was elected the 2016 president just a month earlier.

After 26 years with Waste Management, the administration is recommending a change to the city’s solid-waste contract that could see a new set of trucks picking up trash, recyclables and compost in the city for the next decade.

Based on a series of metrics including cost and “qualitative scores” for issues like customer service and the ability to transi-tion to a contractor billing model, the administration is recom-mending a change to Republic Services, despite the lowest bid coming from the current provider.

“Price isn’t the only thing the city is interested in,” Solid Waste

Coordinator Linda Knight told the City Council during a presen-tation at Monday’s Committee of the Whole meeting.

According to Knight and Public Works Director Gregg Zim-merman, the city decided to send out a Request For Proposals (RFP) for this year’s solid waste contract in an attempt to get a better price, add services and make a change from a city-billed system to when in which the contractor handles bills and pay-ments.

As part of the process, the city did a “pre-release,” according to Knight, including a draft RFP that was designed to allow provid-ers to prepare, followed by the official RFP. After reviewing those, the city altered some of the requirements and asked for “Best and

NRenton’s Heart Month campaign is an annual ef-

fort throughout the month of February to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. The 2016 campaign promotes healthy lives free of heart disease throughout the community, and especially in schools.

In its 11th year, the campaign aims to reduce the rate of uncontrolled high blood pressure, coronary disease, and stroke by 25 percent, and eliminate the growth of obesity and diabetes.

In partnership with the Renton School District, emergency medical technicians will visit all Renton schools to provide health screenings and talk about steps people can take to improve health. The month-long effort will reach more students than before.

“We plan to hit every school, giving more than 3,000 kids direct contact with the fire department,” Fire Chief Mark Peterson said in a press release. “We can have the biggest impact on youth because they have the longest life ahead of them.”

In addition, the city has partnered with Valley Medi-cal Center on a media campaign and formed partner-ships with several national organizations, including the regional chapter of the American Heart Associa-tion, the Hope Heart Institute and the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health. Since the campaign’s inception, more than 58,000 people have had blood pressure and blood sugar levels screened, with more than 10,000 citizens receiving alerts for elevated results.

“I encourage residents to help reduce the risks of heart disease by taking advantage of the free screen-ings that are being made available as part of our month-long promotion,” said Peterson. “The screen-ings only take a couple of minutes, but those minutes could save your life.”

Fire officials will visit every school during Heart Month

Some people say; while other people do. On Feb. 11, the Renton Community Foun-

dation will once again honor the people in the community who “do” when they induct the next class of awardees into the League of Extraordinary Givers at the second “CELE-BRATE! The Love of Community” event at the Renton Pavilion Event Center.

“These are the people who don’t know how to say no when asked,” Lynn Bohart, founda-tion executive director, said in a press release. “They lead and they inspire others to take up the call.”

Winners this year include: Don and Pearl Jacobson; Jim and Char Baker; Judy Schroeder (Lifetime of Giving Award); Dr. Linda Smith

(Patron of the Year Award); Kevin Poole (Ris-ing Star Award); and Chris Spahn and Shan-non Avery (Public Spirit Award).

Through their combined efforts, 10s of thou-sands of dollars have been raised for a variety of nonprofit organizations, disadvantaged chil-dren have been given their very own dictionar-ies and warm coats, women have found shelter and help getting back on their feet, homeless kids have been given birthday parties, orga-nizations like the Girl Scouts and churches have received support, struggling children and families have been given advocates, and people have been inspired through the arts. The list goes on and on.

In addition to the League of Extraordinary Givers, the Foundation will hand out more than $200,000 in community grants that night to help the homeless, veterans, kids, health-care, local culture, seniors, the environment,

and the arts. “We touch a lot of lives,” Foundation Presi-

dent Mark Gropper said. “It’s very gratifying to see the diversity of need in that room and the impact our grants make.”

In addition, guests that night will be given the opportunity to vote on how to split up $10,000 from the Paul Padgett Fund to award to five organizations in need of transportation money for their clients to get to doctor’s ap-pointments, the food bank, or job interviews.

“There is a lack of resources all over this country” said Bohart. “This event is meant to celebrate all the good that we do and to elevate the conversation around philanthropy so that more people might choose to get involved.”

For information on the celebration, you can go to the foundation’s website at www.rentonfoundation.org or call the Foundation at 425-282-5199.

First 737 MAX ’Spirit of Renton’ takes off from RentonThe Boeing 737 MAX 8 took to the skies

for the first time this past week. Dubbed “the Spirit of Renton,” the plane lifted off from the Renton Airport on Friday.

The 737 MAX program achieved the milestone on schedule which begins a comprehensive flight-test program leading to certification and delivery.

With the latest technology LEAP-1B en-gines from CFM International and Boeing-designed Advanced Technology winglets, the first member of the efficient 737 MAX family completed a two-hour, 47-minute flight, taking off from Renton Field at 9:46 a.m. local time and landing at 12:33 p.m. at Seattle’s Boeing Field.

Traditionally, the first flight of all 737 planes begins in Renton, where they are assembled.

“Today’s first flight of the 737 MAX car-ries us across the threshold of a new centu-ry of innovation – one driven by the same passion and ingenuity that have made this company great for 100 years,” Boe-ing Commercial Airplanes President and Chief Executive Officer Ray Conner said in a press release. “We are tremendously proud to begin testing an airplane that will deliver unprecedented fuel efficiency in the single-aisle market for our customers.”

During the flight, 737 MAX Chief Pilot

Ed Wilson and Boeing Chief Test Pilot and Vice President of Flight Operations Craig Bomben departed to the north, reaching a maximum altitude of 25,000 feet (7,620 meters) and an airspeed of 250 knots, or about 288 miles (463 kilometers) per hour

typical of a first flight sequence. While Capts. Wilson and Bomben tested the airplane’s systems and structures, onboard equipment transmitted real-time data to a flight-test team on the ground in Seattle.

“The flight was a success,” said Wilson.

“The 737 MAX just felt right in flight giving us complete confidence that this airplane will meet our customers’ expecta-tions.”

With the other three members of the 737 MAX 8 flight-test fleet currently in different stages of final assembly, the 737 MAX remains on track for first delivery to Southwest Airlines in the third quarter of 2017.

The new 737 MAX 8 will deliver the highest efficiency, reliability and passenger comfort in the single-aisle market with 20 percent lower fuel use than the first Next-Generation 737s – and 8 percent per seat lower operating costs than the A320neo. The 737 MAX 8 is the first member in Boe-ing’s new family of single-aisle airplanes – the 737 MAX 7, MAX 8, MAX 200 and MAX 9 – to begin flight testing. The 737 MAX will extend the Next-Generation 737 range advantage with the capability to fly more than 3,500 nautical miles (6,510 km), an increase of 340 - 570 nmi (629-1,055 km) over the Next-Generation 737.

The 737 MAX family has 3,072 orders from 62 customers worldwide.

Assembled in Renton, Boeing’s first 737 MAX aircraft lifts off from the Renton Municipal Airport Friday on its inaugural flight. COURTESY BOEING

mine the reason behind the spike in numbers.

“There are so many reasons folks are homeless and living on the street,” said Custer.

Volunteers are broken into teams and tasked to count in publicly acces-sible areas such as streets, alleys, parks, parking lots, etc. This year, 56 volunteers swept through 12 designat-ed count areas in greater

Renton.“All involved in the

count were shocked and saddened by the large increase in the number of folks counted this year,” said Custer. “It is brutal reality that we have a long way to go to end homeless-ness.”

The count ran from 2 to 5 a.m. in parts of Auburn, Bellevue, Bothell, Burien, Des Moines, Federal Way, Kent, Kenmore, Kirkland, Redmond Renton, Seattle,

Shoreline, Vashon Island, White Center and Wood-ineville.

According to All Home statistics, homelessness increases by 15 percent in urban areas and 39 percent in rural and suburban area when the average apart-ment rent increases by $100 per month. In King County, the average apart-ment rent has increased by 115 per month in the last year.

According to a press

release, All Home – for-merly the Committee to End Homelessness – will be building on their cur-rent data and findings to estimate the number of veterans, chronically homeless individuals and people living in shelter and transitional housing, and form a more comprehen-sive picture of homeless-ness in King County.

“We are committed to finding solutions to the crisis of homelessness,” said Mark Putnam, direc-tor of All Home in a press release. “Though the need is great, homelessness is solvable, and by coming to-gether as a community we can ensure that all people have a home.”

“The car was seldom used and the victim was known to routinely charge the battery by running the car with the garage closed,” he said.

When fire crews and police officers arrived, they detected an extremely high level of carbon monoxide in the house, said Leibman. Police initially reported that C02 or carbon dioxide was detected in the house.

Investigators found the victim’s car in the garage. The key was in the igni-tion in the “run” position, but the car was no longer running and the battery was dead.

At this point it appears that the car had run out of gas and shut down, said Leibman.

The King County Medi-cal Examiner’s Office is investigating to determine the time and cause of death. The office hadn’t released the victims’ name before the Renton

Reporter’s print deadline Wednesday.

“Detectives and the Medical Examiner’s Office saw nothing to suggest that

this was anything other than an accident,” Leibman said.

At the crux of the matter is the strategic alliance between UW Medicine and the hospital district that oversees the operations of Valley Medical Center. For years, the alli-ance has sharply divided the commission.

Joos testified on Jan. 18 in Olympia before a Senate committee chaired by Sen. Pam Roach in support of three bills related to the governance of the hospital district and the strategic alliance.

To Sleeter and commissioners Barbara Drennen and Lawton Montgomery, Joos wasn’t clear in his comments whether he was testifying on behalf of himself or the entire commission.

Joos introduced himself as an oph-thalmologist and eye surgeon and later explained that he had served as commission president for three years starting in 2012 and was elected again in January.

“It implied that you were there represent-ing the board, although it didn’t flat out say that you were or weren’t,” Sleeter said. “I think that is probably the point that irritated people.”

“You would have been much better if you had said, ‘I am not representing the board’,” she said.

Joos told commissioners he was the only one who “bothered” to testify on the bills. He said he wasn’t representing the entire commission in his testimony.

Joos was also questioned about his testimony in Olympia at a recent Board of Trustees meeting.

Testifying alongside Joos was Anthony Hemstad, who was one of two sitting com-missioners who voted against the strategic alliance in May 2011. Former commissioner Dr. Aaron Heide also voted against the al-liance.

Sleeter and Drennen, who weren’t on the board when the alliance was approved, both expressed support for the alliance. Sleeter practiced obstetrics in Renton for decades before retiring and Drennen is a co-founder of the Pediatric Interim Care Center.

Montgomery, a fire captain who won election to replace Heide on commission,

said commissioners should concentrate on their elected roles and not lobby in Olym-pia. He spoke in favor of writing a letter to the Senate committee explaining the board’s position, whether or not it was misrepre-sented.

“This board is neutral on it and we have no bearing on it. Let that process just con-tinue on its own down there,” he said. “Let us set the record straight that we are not there to campaign.”

The board later decided to write a letter.Drennen called for a new election at the

beginning of the meeting but first wanted each commissioner to voice a short biogra-phy. But Joos ruled her out of order, saying that the bylaws call for an election of officers in January, unless there’s a resignation. He told the board he wasn’t resigning.

But Drennen wanted to hear first from the board’s attorney, Matthew Harrington, whether Joos’ analysis was correct.

Harrington said he reviewed statutes gov-erning hospital commission elections and the commission’s own bylaws. And he had talked with Joos about the matter.

The statutes provide for two things: a commission is to elect officers and all decisions by the commission are made by majority vote, he said.

“That is the extent to which the law tells us what this board can or cannot do on this subject,” he said.

In his view, the board has the power to remove a president, he said. “I think the power to appoint contemplates the power to remove,” he said.

The commissioners then spoke about their individual backgrounds.

Montgomery then nominated Sleeter for president, seconded by Drennen. No one else was nominated. The vote was 3-2, with Joos and Monson voting no.

Montgomery was the sole nominee for vice president. Drennen was elected secre-tary, after Monson declined the nomination by Drennen.

Joos then read a statement. For the first time in months, the meeting was being recorded. He called on the commission to adopt a resolution supporting the three bills

in Roach’s committee, including one that requires that voters in the hospital district ratify the strategic alliance

The deadline for the three bills to leave Roach’s committee is today (Friday).

Joos pointed out that three commission-ers – Sleeter, Montgomery and Monson – all ran on platforms that if elected, they would return control of the hospital district to the elected board of commissioners. Under the strategic alliance, a 13-member Board of Trustees, comprised of the five commission-ers and eight appointed trustees, oversees hospital operations.

All three easily won their elections; Mon-son beat long-time commissioner Carolyn Parnell in 2015.

Joos indicated in his election in 2011 that he didn’t make that promise, but he had concerns about the implementation of the strategic alliance. He said he supports the bills in the state Legislature because that “is clearly the will of the people.”

“Clearly the people of the district oppose the governance structure of the UW/Valley alliance and they voted for challengers who said they would fight to return control to

the elected commissioners,” he said, saying the three “have a moral and ethical obliga-tion” to support such legislation.

Turnout in hospital elections in Novem-ber was the lowest in recent years.

In 2015, 30.37 percent or 47,359 voters of the district’s 155,959 registered voters cast a ballot. Based on total number of registered voters, 15.7 percent voted for Monson and 13.2 percent voted for Montgomery.

Montgomery made his comment about commissioners doing their elected jobs and not lobbying in Olympia. And Monson said he’s “happy” to be associated with the UW but he doesn’t think it’s “appropriate” for appointed trustees to overrule elected com-missioners.

Sleeter spoke of what she’s learned about the alliance since her election. “To undo everything that’s been done for this hospital would be disastrous,” she said.

“It’s time to move on,” she said.She pointed out in an interview that the

hospital district and UW Medicine spent about half-million dollars for the courts to decide that the strategic alliance is legal.

Why this Hawksfan is rooting

for the Panthers


As Super Bowl 50 looms in the distance, we Seahawks fans are reminded of what hap-pened in the previous two Super Bowls.

Two years ago today (I sit here writing this column on Tuesday, Feb. 2), 12’s everywhere went crazy when we crushed the Denver Broncos 43-8.

But a year ago yesterday is a whole other story.

We are reminded of the decision to pass the ball to Ricardo Lockette from the 1-yard line instead of giving the ball to Beast Mode on second and goal with one timeout and 30 seconds remaining in the game.

The interception at the goal line by Malcolm Butler may very well haunt Seahawks and their fans for many years to come.

And this year, the Hawks, as much as they stressed us fans out in the beginning of the season and throughout many of their close games, made their way back to the playoffs. But this year the Seahawks did not have the

home-field advantage they are so used to having.

No one can fault the Hawks for not making it back to the Super Bowl for the third consecutive year; the Patriots didn’t return to defend their title either.

But with that said, who should we as Seahawks fans root for on Sun-day?

And that is what brings me to the main point of this column: I am rooting for the Carolina Panthers to win Super Bowl 50.

Now, wait: Before everyone gets angry with me and my decision, let me explain.

All season, I have liked the Panthers.I was excited for them to go undefeated,

which they fell short by one game when they lost to the Atlanta Falcons in their second-to-last regular season game.

When the Hawks traveled to Carolina to face the Panthers in the postseason, the game was out of control.

The Hawks played an awful first half but came back after halftime.

The Panthers didn’t help themselves by go-ing scoreless in the second half, almost giving up their lead.

But with time ticking down, the Hawks didn’t have enough to win.

A video of Cam Newton grabbing and throwing a 12 flag from a fan was seen by many Hawks fans, and a petition was even started to ban Newton from returning to Cen-tury Link Field.

That may not have been the best decision by him, but I don’t think we should hold it against him.

Newton is a good quarterback and has led his team to the Super Bowl and a nearly perfect season.

Even Richard Sherman has come to New-ton’s defense in an interview with 710 ESPN saying that the criticism of Newton is “unfor-tunate.”

An article on MyNorthwest said, “Sherman believes the criticism against Newton is un-founded considering he ‘hasn’t done anything

Electeds need to make 405 opposition known

Open letter to Washington State Gov. Jay Inslee, Secretary of Transportation Lynn Peterson, Mayor of Renton, Denis Law, and Renton residents:

I attended the recent Kennydale meeting where WSDOT’s representatives presented their plans for the I-405 interchange with SR 167 and the I-405 to Bellevue expansion.

Once again Renton and especially the Kenny-dale-area residents are being disregarded in the plans. An area WSDOT itself lists as the number one worst commute in the state.

WSDOT original design plans for this section of I-405 provided four new traffic general-use lanes, two in each direction. The present plans for additional traffic lanes are for one each direc-tion. These two lanes will be toll lanes, while increasing the carpool requirement to three. This adds zero to the general-use lanes. The general-use lanes are congested with truck traffic. It appears to me that WSDOT is more interested in generating revenue than reducing traffic conges-tion.

The recent introduction of the I-405 toll lanes

has driven much of the traffic off of I-405 onto city surface streets. To add to this unacceptable result, it’s my understanding that the 30th Street overpass will not be replaced with a centerline overpass which means any one including transit will have to weave to the congested outer lane to exit, making this exit worse than it already is. This will ensure major increased congestion and accidents.

The City of Renton purchased land for a new fire station located on 30th near this exit; it would make no sense to build a new station there if they don’t have easy access to I-405.

I strongly urge the Renton mayor, City Coun-cil and all area residents to make their disap-pointment with the WSDOTS expansion plans for the I-405 expansion known. Otherwise you’ll get more gridlock, not less.

I would prefer no expansion over the pres-ent purposed wasteful and disjointed WSDOT proposal.

This section of I-405 needs to be expanded to handle not only todays general use traffic, but also the futures without further interrup-tions and costs five to 10 years down the same congested road.

wrong to anyone.’ He hasn’t done anything (bad) off the field or hurt anyone or committed a crime or done anything. He plays the game like a young kid, like a kid’s supposed to play it.”

Aside from the Panthers being the National Football Conference champions representing our division, there are some other reasons that make them deserving of the title come Sunday.

Linebacker Thomas Davis is in his 11th season in the NFL and has suffered a number of injuries during his career. He injured his knee in 2010 and in 2011, he tore his ACL for the third time in three years. And not to mention, he broke his arm in the NFC championship game and returned to the practice field Monday after hav-ing surgery.

Timberline High School and University of Oregon graduate Jonathan Stewart is another reason I think the Panthers deserve the W. Stew-art has played all of his eight NFL seasons with the Panthers as a running back. He also returned to practice Monday after sitting out last week with an ankle injury.

And finally, another player I see on the Pan-thers that makes them deserving of the Super Bowl ring is Shaq Thompson. Now, just like Newton, I know there will be Seahawks fans hating me for this opinion, but I am a die-hard Husky fan and I think an ex-Dawg and rookie like Thompson is deserving of the ring.

Many Hawks fans know Mr. Thompson post-ed a video to Snapchat following the Panthers win over Seattle saying “Seahawks fans, I’ve got a message… (bad word), the Seahawks.”

Regardless of this video, I see Thompson as the stud who played both offense and defense for the Huskies in his final year at the U and I think he, too, is deserving of the Super Bowl title.

So despite how you personally feel about the players or the team, I am still rooting for the Panthers on Sunday and I have a strong feeling they are going to be the new world champions.

The beginning of February is when nurs-eries begin to stock bare-root roses, fruit trees, shrubs and berry bushes. You can plant strawberry, raspberry, roses and trees now as soon as you see them for sale. Bare

root means these plants will be sold in their dormant state with no soil around the roots.

They may have the roots wrapped in plastic bags or as is the case for straw-

berries, raspberries and rhubarb plants found sitting in damp sawdust. As long as the ground is not frozen, you can dig in and start planting these hardy plants. Bare-root plants are a great bargain, light weight and

easier to haul home than potted plants.It is still too early to “work” or till the

soil for a vegetable garden. Our wet winters mean that the soil is still full of moisture and you risk damaging the structure or tilth when you disturb wet soil. Mowing the lawn may also compact the soil this early in the season so you have a great excuse to postpone cutting the grass until later in the spring.

This is a good month to pile compost on top of your vegetable garden area or around roses – just don’t work it into the soil.

Q. Do I need to remove the foliage from my blooming hellebores? I started adding these winter blooming plants to my land-scape a few years ago after I won a plant at one of your talks. They are doing well, but my neighbor insists I must cut back their

leaves to keep them healthy. R.P., PuyallupA. Early spring is a good time to snip

off the old foliage from around the stalks of flowering hellebores so you can better enjoy the blooms and to discourage any fungal diseases that thrive on the old foli-age. Laid back gardeners can get away with skipping this task for a year or two; but in our wet climate hellebores do best when the old leaves are removed. Removing the old leaves is especially important if you see black spots or dark areas on the leaves as this is a sign of a fungal infection that could

spread to the flowers and new leaves.To make quick work of this important

job grab a handful of hellebore leaves so that you can see where they join the main stalk and snip a cluster of leaf stems all at the same time removing the cut foliage from the garden immediately. On some hellebore varieties you can tug the base of the leaf stem downward and it will detach easily from the main stem. The blooms will be able to star in the spotlight once the op-pressive old leaves are gone.

Valentine’s Day is around the cor-ner, and while candy, flowers and cards are all great gifts, you’d like to give the special people in your life something of your own: a bag of homemade treats. Here are some recipes to consider.

Chocolate Kiss Cookies1 cup margarine, softened1/2 cup sugar1 tsp. vanilla1-3/4 cup all-purpose flour1 cup finely chopped walnuts1 6-oz. bag milk chocolate candy

kisses1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar

Cream margarine with sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Beat in

flour and walnuts. Cover and refrig-erate dough for 2 hours, or until firm enough to handle. Preheat oven to 375º F. Remove wrappers from choc-olate kisses. Shape approximately 1 tablespoon of dough around each chocolate kiss, making sure to cover chocolate completely. Place cook-ies on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. While cookies are still warm, roll them in confectioners’ sugar.

Love Letters2 cup all-purpose flour1/2 cup sugar1 tsp. salt1 cup butter2 tsp. lemon zest1 Tbsp. orange zest

1/2 cup sour cream1 cup candied cherries, chopped

Preheat oven to 475º F. Blend flour, sugar and salt. Cut in butter, lemon zest and orange zest until mixture resembles coarse meal. Blend in sour cream. Gather dough into ball and divide in half. Roll on well-floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut in 3x2-inch pieces. Fold ends to center to resemble an envelope, overlapping slightly. Seal with tiny piece of candied cherry. Place on ungreased baking sheet, brush tops with water and sprinkle with sugar. Bake 6 to 8 minutes.

Nutty Sweethearts2 cup crisp rice cereal1 cup semisweet chocolate chips1 cup miniature marshmallows1 cup red candied cherries, quar-

tered

1 cup chopped pecans12 oz. white chocolate2 tsp. shortening

Grease cookie sheet and insides of several heart-shaped cookie cutters. Place cutters on cookie sheet. Com-bine cereal, chocolate chips, marsh-mallows, cherries and pecans. Melt white chocolate and shortening over low heat until smooth. Cool slightly and pour over cereal mixture. Stir gently to coat and press into prepared cutters on cookie sheet. Refrigerate 30 minutes, or until firm. Run wide metal spatula under cut-ters to loosen from cookie sheet and gently push each sweetheart free.

Whip up one or all of these treats for the special people in your life this Valentine’s Day. They’ll appreci-ate your thoughtfulness with every bite.

Your news in your feed. | facebook.com/rentonreporterNo place for this guy to hide his heroin | Police blotterBY DEAN A. RADFORD

[email protected]

The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.

A 30-year-old Lynnwood man almost got away Jan. 16 with hiding his heroin, even inside his body at the SCORE regional jail.

He initially struggled with store security after he was stopped outside Target at The Landing for trying to steal a set of HD glasses in his coat and a home-security system in a shopping bag.

An arresting officer found wire cutters in his coat pocket. The man told the officer, “I made a bad mistake.” In the backpack, an officer found knives, bear spray and a purse full of unused aluminum foil.

He planned to use the foil to cover a security device, although it’s also used to take heroin.

He was arrested for investigation of third-degree theft and was searched a second time.

At the jail he was strip searched after an officer found drug paraphernalia in his clothes. He was stopped before he could insert inside his body what later tested as heroin. He was rebooked for drug posses-sion.

YOU’RE WHO? OH, ARRESTED: Once Renton officers straightened out his identity, they arrested 21-year-old Renton man Jan. 13 on a $50,000 King County warrant.

He was stopped after an officer noticed him riding his bicycle on Garden Avenue

without a helmet and no lights on his bike.

He initially gave his brother’s name. Officers confirmed his real identity with a portable finger-print machine, which revealed the warrant for felony violation of a no-contact order.

He was booked into the SCORE regional jail.

BAD PLACE FOR YOUR STASH: Renton officers found about 50 small plastic bags and a small kitchen scale Jan. 13 after a 33-year-old Renton woman was arrested on North 10th Street on a Federal Way warrant.

The bags and scale are typically used for drug distribution.

On the way to the police station at City Hall, she squirmed in the back seat, moving back and forth and digging her hands into the back of her pants.

She was uncomfortable but the officer searched and found a Crown Royal bag shoved under the front passenger seat. Inside were two bags of suspected meth-amphetamine and a bag of something not immediately identifiable. And there was something that smelled like marijuana.

Now she was being investigated for drug possession with intent to sell.

Final” offers from the companies to better evaluate.They received four bids, from Waste Management,

Republic, Recology and Pierce County-based Waste Con-nections.

Following the opening of the bids last fall, staff used a two-part evaluation process that awarded up to 80 points based on cost and an additional 20 points on the “qualita-tive” measures, which focused on where the proposals differed.

Republic scored the highest on the combined metrics, receiving 78 points in the cost score and 17 points on the qualitative side for a total of 95 out of 100. Waste Manage-ment received a perfect 80 on cost as their bid came in more than $20,000 lower than others but only received a

score of 7 on the qualitative side for a total of 87.The other two companies both came in with “Best and

Final” bids higher than the current contract, which city officials found prohibitive, instead focusing on Waste Man-agement and Republic for the majority of the discussion.

But city officials repeatedly pointed out that cost alone was not the only qualification.

A major concern for the city was the move from city- to contractor-billing. Because Republic has experience with that and Waste Management does not, the former company received better scores.

“We got a lot of input from other cities that have gone through it,” Zimmerman said.

Along with the move to contractor billing, the city added a few items to its service contract expectations includ-ing increased recycling, additional events and something the city called “premium commercial service,” that would eliminate additional fees for businesses if a gate had to be opened or a container had to be moved in order to be emptied.

The city also wanted extended customer service hours. Currently, call centers are available from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday. The city wanted the center open until 7 p.m. on week-nights, to allow for resident to get home from work and still have time to call if they needed, and extended hours on Saturday.

As part of the “Best and Final” proposals, the Knight said the city actually reduced some of the standards to allow for greater competition, but that Republic met every standard from the beginning and never once changed.

Customer service also played heavy into the decision, with Waste Management receiving relatively low scores. In a memo recommending Republic, staff noted a “significant decline in customer service responsiveness and accuracy in the past several years” by Waste Management as well as a “refusal to provide a local customer service center.”

As part of the review, the city also checked the compa-nies’ references with other cities and Knight reported that many of the complaints Renton has heard about Waste Management’s customer service was “confirmed by other cities,” according to Knight.

“Renton was not the only city having these issues,” she said.

The decision now moves to the council, which is ex-

pected to take up the matter during Monday’s City Council meeting. At that time, it is expected the council will choose a provider. Following that, the administration will negoti-ate a contract.

Councilmembers have reported being heavily lobbied by Waste Management officials and drivers since the agenda was released including the new contract and the company had more than three dozen employees in attendance at Monday’s council meeting, with several speaking about Renton feeling like family.

For residents, any change should be minimal. Since both bids came in well below the current Waste Manag-ment contract, residents will probably see a cost reduction, though final figures will still need to be negotiated.

But aside from that, things should remain the same. Garbage and recycling pick-up will still be every other week while compost and yard waste will continue on a weekly basis. Current bins should still be usable and any special events, such as a spring clean-up will continue to be covered.

Fourteen people were treated for ex-posure to pepper spray Monday morning after an assault in the Department of Social and Health Services office on Southwest Seventh Street in Renton.

Fire crews were sent to the office at about 10:50 a.m. for a person complaining of shortness of breath, according to Renton Fire and Life Safety.

A mass-casualty incident was declared after firefighters determined that there were multiple individuals who came in contact with the spray, which can cause temporary blindness when it touches the eyes.

Called in were medics, four fire trucks

and five ambulances.The Renton Police Department wasn’t

notified of the incident until mid-day on Tuesday and an officer was dispatched to take a report, according to Renton Police Commander David Leibman.

Details of the assault weren’t immediately available.

Three of the 14 patients were taken to a hospital for further evaluation, according to the fire department.

Here are some tips from the fire depart-ment for dealing with pepper spray:

• If you get pepper spray in your eyes, you will experience an extreme burning sensation. Immediately rinse your eyes with fresh cool water. If the burning persists or

gets worse, seek medical attention. Never rub your eyes.

• If you get pepper spray on your face or hands, wash with a mild soap. Pepper spray can be easily transferred. If you have pep-per spray on your hands, do not touch your face. Avoid touching your face for at least an hour after washing your hands. Lemon juice can help neutralize the pepper spray on your hands.

• If pepper spray is discharged inside or spilled from a leaky sprayer, you may notice burning eyes, scratchy throat, and runny nose. If this happens, open windows and doors to get fresh air circulating in the room. It may take a few hours for the air to completely clear.

It’s important for Jina Kim to think outside the box. After all, it’s not easy being a specialist for the City of Renton Solid Waste Program and trying to get residents excited about reducing their waste.

So when Kim came across the Meaningful Movies of Renton, a neighborhood film and discussion event that often focused on issues around social justice and advocacy, she knew she could use this forum as a way of informing the community about issues surrounding waste and environmental pollution.

The Meaningful Movies of Renton, a subset of the Meaningful Movies Project, was the brain-child of Lara Randolph, member of Sustainable Renton and local environmental advocate.

When Randolph and Kim got together, they came up with a perfect solution to promote environmental issues that impacted Renton in an informative and engaging way – an Eco Film Series.

“It was a really great fit for us because they [Sustainable Renton] had experience on film screenings for the community as well as starting a dialogue about socially relevant issues,” said Kim. “With the Eco Film Series, we are inform-ing the public about waste related environmental issues that are important in maintaining or im-

proving the quality of life as the City of Renton continues to grow.”

While shaping the series, Kim and Randolph decided to focus on issues that residents in Rent-on were facing as the population steadily grows: food waste, plastic waste and water pollution.

“Our movies have been focused on sustain-ability, not politics,” said Randolph. “Our goal is to educate the community and bring them together, rather than create more divides.”

The series screened its first film,”Just Eat It: A Food Waste Story.” According to Kim, the turn-out was surprising.

“We had about a 100 people come out…not only from Renton but also neighboring cities,” said Kim. “From attending the event, you could tell there was a lot of interest in the topic of food waste.”

However, a mere film series is not enough to transform a community to become environmen-tally conscious and responsible.

“We’re not expecting behavior change over-night,” said Kim. “Obviously it’s a long-term goal that we’re constantly working toward. It’s all about involvement and engagement with com-munity. This is something we’re committed to in the long run so as people become more exposed to these issues and learn more about it, we can impact some change.”

The second film in the series, “Bag It: Is Your Life too Plastic?” is an award-winning movie that chronicles the journey of a man who inves-tigates the environmental and health impacts of plastic bags and merchandise. Both Kim and Randolph speculate that the issue of plastic waste is one that isn’t as popular as food waste.

According to Kim, changing one’s lifestyle isn’t an easy step.

“For most people, they want to do the right thing,” said Kim. “It’s a matter of think-ing about these topics a little bit differently and trying to make small changes that are more manageable, rather than making a large change at once that some may find overwhelming.”

According to Randolph there are easy ways to reduce plastic dependency and change the momentum of a community, such as talking to local store owners about the positive impacts about using paper bags and compostable to-go containers.

“The real concern is that they’re more expen-sive,” said Randolph “That’s our real obstacle… we want to tread lightly, but forcefully.”

The free film is set to screen from 6:30 till 8:30 p.m. on Feb. 11 at Carco Theater. There will be a moderated discussion following the screening, and refreshments will be available.

The third and final film of the series, “Sound & Vision,” will focus on water pollution, and is set to screen on Mar. 10 at Carco Theater.EN
