A group of Amazing Grace Christian School students and their teacher will attend and present at this year’s SXSW edu Conference and Festival in Austin, Texas.

After a rigorous selection process, with an 80 per-cent submission rejection rate, the students’ projects were selected for the expo. Their presentations center on using technology in the classroom to enhance student learning through virtual learning and gam-ing concepts.

Student Scott Nguyen, a ninth-grader, will present a short talk on the business he started (Nguyen fixes computers with his dad), what makes learning rel-evant to his generation and how educators can better prepare students for success with virtual learning and video games.

“What I hope people take away is not so much that education is based on a bunch of check marks, it’s based on what you get out of it,” Nguyen said. “Like people can take tests and say that they learned some-thing, but unless you truly experience it - something

Some major changes are planned for the area right around Gene Coulon Park that will add approximately 600 hotel rooms and a new conven-tion center to the south end of Lake Washington, filling what is apparently a major need in the area.

Anchoring the area is the new Southport Hotel project, which is pres-ently under construction on the land just southwest of the park. The new hotel and convention center will bring 40,000-square-feet of meeting and convention space to the area, as well as about 325 hotel rooms on a 17.5-acre site right on the water.

It is designed to be a facility on par with anything Seattle has to offer, ac-cording to Renton Economic Develop-ment Director Cliff Long.

“It’s going to give Renton the ability to compete in a new market in ways we never have before,” Long said.

Every year a large group of Valley Medical Center’s staff goes on medical mis-sions abroad to volunteer their services and much-needed medical supplies to people in impoverished areas.

Jeremy Wyatt is one such Valley staffer, who’s volun-teered on several trips to Honduras and helped other Valley employees secure supplies for their medi-cal missions to places like Haiti, Ethiopia, Guatemala and other countries.

The work is extremely rewarding and humbling, according to Wyatt. He’s a manager in Valley’s Periop-erative Services, which is anything having to do with surgery. Wyatt manages the hospital’s anesthesia and ancillary support staff throughout Perioperative Services.

Medical staff typically use their vacation time and personal resources to fund their airfare and expenses for these types of trips. Staff members also partner with charitable organizations that organize the trips.

Wyatt went on his first medical mission about seven years ago, with the organization Healing the Children. The non-govern-mental, humanitarian agen-cy partners with American healthcare providers to help children around the world get urgently needed medi-cal care that is otherwise unobtainable.

Medical mission trips aren’t for the faint of heart, often taking volunteers to some harrowing locations, with limited resources and infrastructure.

On his first trip, it took Wyatt’s plane six attempts before it landed safely in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, at Toncontin Interna-

tional Airport. There was bad weather, but it’s also considered one of the most dangerous airports to fly into because of the moun-tainous region and its short runway, according to some travel websites.

Then it was a four-hour bus ride in a 1970s school bus to a city called Juticapla. From there, every morning, the medical team would walk the city’s dirt roads, about a mile, to Hospital San Francisco, where they would set up a clinic at 7 a.m. and receive patients. Armed guards stood outside the hospital, not because of conflict but just to keep order, Wyatt said.

“It’s a region where medi-cal attention is definitely needed and to have the opportunity to bring these medical specialities, not just supplies or equipment, but the ability to teach - it’s just phenomenal,” he said.

Wyatt’s able to collect medical supplies from Val-ley through a special and strict protocol the hospital has for supplies that will be

retired, are single-use, or have no value for the hos-pital anymore. Large items like beds or those with a value of $2,500 or more adhere to surplus guidelines and must have the Board of Trustees’ approval before the inventory is discharged from Valley. A lot of what Wyatt does falls under the no-value supply line, which could be old scrubs and sheets, which don’t have to have the approval of the Board of Trustees.

Before these volunteer medical teams leave, they brainstorm the types of

surgeries they will do and supplies they will need, based on the information the recipient hospital gives them.

Wyatt served as an anes-thesia technician on his first trip to Honduras, which was a pediatric orthope-dic mission that attended to lots of fractures and clubbed feet. He has helped save lives in the U.S., but considers his experiences teaching people abroad how to do something as simple as properly bandage a wound to avoid infection, life-saving too.

Every morning a line would grow outside of the clinic and continue to grow into the hot and humid afternoon.

“There seemed to be easily over 100 families out there, primarily pediatric patients, and not once could you hear a child out screaming or families argu-ing or anything negative in that sense…,” said Wyatt. “They were all there and would immediately look up to you and just smile, just because they’re glad you’re there.”

Patients would be seen regardless of whether their ailments were past surgi-cal intervention and some would be turned away, but all were thankful for the attention, Wyatt said. They were grateful for the volun-teers at least taking the time to try to help, he said.

For Wyatt, the hardest part of medical missions is coming back to the states.

The team is hard pressed to get to all the people needing medical attention and it’s tough to leave them, he said. It also takes a day to refocus and not let the stark disparities get to you once back stateside, according to Wyatt.

“Individuals who go on these types of missions are just a different breed of individuals that are willing to sacrifice going to Dis-neyland or Disney World for a vacation, but to go to a potential Third World coun-try and share knowledge or your skills with somebody,” he said.

Wyatt is taking a break from medical missions cur-rently to further his educa-tional career to better serve patient populations locally and abroad. The extensive personal financial costs along with vacation time is a factor in his decision, but he plans to go on more medical missions next year.

Renton has a new school for children with special needs. It’s called the Children’s Institute for Learning Differences (CHILD) and it opened in October.

After renting a space on Mercer Island for 21 years, the accredited day school for children ages 5 to 17 moved to just off of Benson Road. CHILD is also a developmental therapy clinic for kids 3 to 18 years old and a training facil-ity for parents and teachers.

“Having raised a child who struggled mightily in school, it is an isolating experience,” said Carrie Fannin, executive director. “It’s very difficult to feel as if you have support, for one.”

Fannin found the support and resources she needed for her daughter at CHILD some years ago. The school is for children who need support beyond what their home district can offer in special education.

Disabilities served include sensory processing disorders, learning disabilities, attention deficit disorders, emotional-behavioral disabilities and autism.

CHILD is currently working with 20 school districts and has a capacity of about 50 to 60 students per year. Students only stay at the school between one to three years and then return to their home districts, having mastered new skills of self-regulation.

CHILD staff work collaboratively with school district staff, parents and the students on the child’s Individualized Education Plan, which are a set of goals that define the

child’s progress. The institute has an empathy-based ap-proach to care for kids who have previously been described as angry, defiant and oppositional.

“Make no mistake, this is an academic program,” said Fannin. “When children come here, they do receive an education, but I think that learning how to solve a prob-lem is the most important thing that we are teaching the children that are here.”

The institute is not diagnosis-driven, but diagnosis-informed, said Fannin.

Staff looks at the behaviors a child is emitting to tell them the story of what needs aren’t being met. They see their students as not missing skills, but having skills that are lagging.

“So the one to three years they’re here as we are normal-izing the school experience for these kids, really,” Fannin

said. “And teaching them how to solve problems and to adapt to the demands of the classroom. Then they’re re-turned to their home school in their home district.”

The school boasts a 90 percent graduation rate, once students return to their home school. One CHILD board member was once a student of the school and is now a lawyer.

CHILD has students that come as far away as Olympia and Camano Island. There are 53 staff members total, with seven lead teachers, 25 instructional assistants and a team of prevention specialists. Their instructional assistants dif-fer from para educators found in the public school setting because they could be social workers, speech therapists or mental health workers at the bachelor’s degree level.

CHILD does not have seclusion rooms, but instead it has prevention specialists, trained to diffuse escalating student behavior and they have quiet rooms. Students can choose for themselves whether or not they need to go to a quiet room.

“We’re very lucky to be involved in this work; there’s nothing better than working with children, who need to be understood,” said Fannin.

CHILD is a non-public agency that is approved by the Washington State Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to contract with public school districts. All of CHILD’s revenue comes from tuition and fees for students placed by parents or in partnership with the up to 20 school districts that reside in King, Pierce, Snohomish and Kitsap counties. Its clinical services division serves children in the community and those students enrolled in CHILD. Additional financial support is received from grants and fundraising efforts of the agency.

CHILD will host their annual fundraising luncheon, “Dare to Dream,” at noon on Feb. 26, at the Renton Pavilion Event Center, 233 Burnett Ave. S., Renton. For more information, visit www.CHILDnow.org/heart.

SECO development, is currently in the process of getting all of its permits, though ground was broken on the 12-story hotel in October.

Long said he expects the building’s crane to go up in the next week or so. It is sched-uled for completion in January 2017.

In addition to the Southport project, two more hotels are slated for the area for the area across the street from the entrance to

the park, a Residence Inn by Marriott and a Hampton Inn.

The Residence Inn is set to be built on the property presently occupied by the Cowgirls Espresso stand. It is slated to have approximately 140 rooms.

The Hampton Inn is scheduled to go on the parcel just to the north of the Residence Inn. It will have approximately 110 rooms.

Both projects are dealing with steep slope issues during construction and will each also have covered, structure parking. Both

hotels are in the pre-application process.According to Long, the new hotels will

go a long way toward filling a need that ex-ists throughout the region.

“Demand has been high for lodging property,” he said.

Long said his contacts in the lodging industry say that Renton hotels were at 90 percent capacity throughout last summer. In addition, 2014 lodging tax collections in the city set a new record, besting the previ-

ous record set in 2008, the year before the recession sunk its teeth in.

Along with the buildings, improvements to the tiny intersection at the entrance to Coulon Park is also being rebuilt. It is presently being widened for the Southport project and additional work is planned as the new hotels are built.

that virtual reality can help with - it adds to learning.”

Instructor Michelle Zimmerman and eighth-graders Jasmine Fernandez and Jennifer Fernandez will present a workshop at SXSWedu on learning design by kids, using Portal 2, a video game, in the classroom. The workshop is based on a three-year research project at Amazing Grace.

The group has presented their findings in the past at Emerald City Comicon, the Northwest Council for Computer Education and the International Society of Technology.

“One of my goals is to get students to be able to articulate their understand-ing and advocate for their own learning,” said Zim-merman. “When education is different from the norm, it is essential for people to understand not only how it is different, but what kind of learning outcomes emerge because of those differences.”

Amazing Grace is a somewhat out-of-the-box private school in the Sky-way neighborhood that has a curriculum that is highly immersed in technology.

“What I love about hav-ing freedom to structure learning in this way is that we are still covering es-sential content, but it is not only relevant to the lives of young people, it is also pro-duced to a level of quality that allows them to clearly communicate their ideas to a broader audience,” Zim-merman said.

Jasmine and Jennifer aren’t as nervous as they have been in the past because they’ve presented their workshop before at a

high-profile conference.“I hope that they learn

you don’t just need a textbook to learn a specific subject,” said Jasmine Fer-nandez. “A lot of people wouldn’t typically think you could take a video game and apply it to schools and it could help students learn.”

Jennifer Fernandez said that the project has helped her in other ways too.

“I guess it helps a lot with talking about it in the real world because you can know a bunch of stuff and that’s good and fine, but you need to be able to share it with other people.”

If you’ve lived an active lifestyle and your hips or knees simply can’t keep up anymore, it may be time for a change.

Renton news, updated daily.www.rentonreporter.com


It is Washington’s quadrennial quandary.Every four years, the conversation starts

anew on how to make this state’s presidential primary meaningful in the process of elect-ing the nation’s next leader.

And should an election even be held if it can’t be done? Conducting a primary in 2016 will cost taxpayers an estimated $11.5 million.

The predicament is that voters desire one thing and the Democratic and Republican parties want something else, leaving the state’s chief election officer to bring the op-posing forces together.

Republican Secretary of State Kim Wyman thinks she can pull it off for 2016, though she needs support of the Legislature and agree-ment from the Democratic Party.

More on her plan in a moment. Here’s the history:

Washington is first, and forever, a caucus state. At those caucuses, the truly faithful

of the Democratic and Republican parties gather to choose the delegates to the national conventions, where each party officially nominates its candidate for the Oval Office.

In 1988 a few voters got it in their heads that

they wanted a say in the process. More than 200,000 people signed an initiative to the Legislature calling for a presidential primary to give voice to a far greater number of the state’s voters.

In theory, candidates would take note of this new primary and make sure the trail of their campaign passed through Washington.

It worked pretty well in 2000 when, with no incumbent in the race, the four lead-ing presidential candidates — Republicans George Bush and John McCain and Demo-crats Al Gore and Bill Bradley — campaigned in the state ahead of the primary. Bush and Gore won and went on to win their party’s nominations.

But for the most part it hasn’t turned out that well. The state canceled the primary in 2004 and 2012, and some wonder if it shouldn’t be stopped entirely.

That’s because the Democratic Party ignores the election results and chooses its delegates solely on voting in caucuses. At this point that’s what it will do in 2016.

The Republican Party, meanwhile, has al-lotted half its delegates based on the primary-election results, with caucus voting deciding the rest. That’s its intention in 2016.

Enter Wyman, the only Republican in statewide office, with a plan for dealing with the dilemma in 2016 when, as in 2000, there’s no incumbent running.

She’s pushing a bill to move up the date of Washington’s primary from May to March 8, putting it just one week after the Super Tuesday binge of contests.

Her proposal also requires the two major parties to assure her they will use the results in allocating a percentage delegates. It doesn’t tell them how big a percentage, just that they will. Republicans are on board, Democrats

In his State of the Union address, President Obama highlighted plunging gas prices. Ironic, since Obama has done everything in his power to curtail domestic oil production and drive up gas prices.

For example, the president wants to lock up untapped federal oil reserves surrounding the Trans-Alas-ka pipeline. If he succeeds, he will choke off future oil supplies to the pipeline, bleeding it dry and forcing it to shut down and be dis-mantled.

That will not only hurt Alaska, but Washington and the Pacific North-west as well. Refineries in our state process Alaska crude into the gasoline and diesel we use every day and provide thousands of family wage jobs with good benefits.

Put succinctly, since the 800 mile Trans-Alaska pipeline was constructed 40 years ago, it has been an economic boom to Alaska and the Pacific Northwest and an energy lifeline for our

country. The pipeline was built between 1974 and 1977

in response to the 1973 oil crisis, which caused a sharp rise in U.S. gas prices. It provided us with an important domestic oil supply and a way out of captivity from Middle East oil sheiks.

Washington benefitted directly from the proj-ect. Our seaports shipped much of the construc-tion materials and thousands of workers packed supplies and built parts for the pipeline.

Alaska has produced more than 17 billion barrels of oil since the first wells were tapped. In 1988, it accounted for 25 percent of domestic production. Now, production is declining at Prudhoe Bay and Kuparuk where oil was first discovered on the North Slope. However, there is great potential for new discoveries in the Arc-tic, both onshore and offshore.

A U.S. Department of Energy report estimates there are 22 billion barrels of recoverable oil reserves on the North Slope, including reserves from existing fields as well as undiscovered

are not, yet.An earlier primary could lure the Democratic

Party to sign on because that could give Wash-ington Democrats a bit more sway if there are multiple candidates.

“The nominating process and the date of the primary really influence whether presidential candidates come to our state to campaign to voters or merely come through to fund raise,” she said Tuesday.

If Democrats get on board, next year voters will pick-a-party and get a ballot with only that party’s candidates.

If not, all candidates of all parties will appear on the same ballot, turning the primary into little more than a beauty contest that costs $11.5 mil-lion. That could incite calls for the state to cancel the primary.

“I don’t think we’re there yet,” she said. “We need the results of the presidential primary to mean something. This election is too important.”

resources. Natural gas estimates reach as high as 124 trillion cubic feet.

But the president has vowed to ban energy exploration on 22 million acres of federal land, despite a law that specifically says he cannot do so without the consent of Congress. Rather than declare much of Alaska’s federal lands off limits, President Obama needs to allow environmentally safe exploration in three important areas.

First, west of Prudhoe Bay, the U.S. Geological Survey estimates there are 900 million barrels of oil and 17.5 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in the National Petro-leum Reserve-Alaska.

Second, in a very small portion of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge there are 10.4 billion barrels of recoverable oil using today’s technology.

Finally, the Alaska Outer Continental

Shelf constitutes one of the world’s largest untapped resources with as much as 27 billion barrels of oil and 132 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Interestingly, the Rus-sians are already producing oil from Arctic Ocean platforms.

Federal oil leases can bring in billions of dollars to support federal spending. In-stead of expanding those opportunities, the president is proposing $85 billion in new taxes on the oil and gas industries to help pay for his historic federal spending pro-grams. Those are costs that we ultimately pay in higher fuel and heating prices.

There is another way. Rather than putting proven reserves off limits to production, open them to exploration. Remember, in

Alaska oil field and pipeline construction is done in the winter using ice roads which disappear in the spring.

Alaska is an example of what oil revenue can provide. Currently, it accounts for more than 90 percent of Alaska’s general fund revenues and provides one-third of Alaska’s jobs. Developing our domestic energy supplies in Alaska and the lower 48 will bring similar economic benefits to the entire nation.

That makes better sense for America.

If you’ve paying attention to the news lately, vaccinations—and more specifically measles—have certainly been in the forefront of the discussion. Following a recent confirmed case of measles in King County, now is a

good time to share what we know about vaccina-tions, and why it is so important for everyone to receive them.

Why should people get vac-cinated?

Vaccinations protect you, your fam-ily and your community from serious diseases such as measles, whooping cough and hepatitis, to name a few. Avoiding vaccinations not only puts you at greater risk of disease, it puts the entire community at risk. For vac-cinations to work effectively, everyone needs to be vaccinated. When 90 to 95 percent of a community is protected, it is nearly impossible for a germ to cause an epidemic.

If you are a parent considering

delaying or skipping vaccinations for your children, know that this decision impacts not only your children, but your whole community. If more than 10 percent of parents in a community were to choose to “opt out” of vac-cines, the likelihood of an epidemic increases dramatically, potentially affecting everyone in the community.

Who should be vaccinated for measles?

Measles can be prevented through vaccination with the Measles Mumps Rubella (MMR) vaccine. Children should be vaccinated with two doses of the MMR vaccine—between 12 to 15 months of age and the second dose, between four to six years of age. Infants traveling outside the United States can be vaccinated earlier. In Washington state, all children are required to have the MMR for entry into a school or childcare center.

Adults should have at least one dose of measles vaccine. Two doses are rec-ommended for international travelers, healthcare workers and students in college, trade school and other schools after high school.

What are the symptoms of measles? Look for fever, rash, cough and red,

watery eyes. Symptoms arrive late—7 to 21 days after exposure. Pregnant women, infants under six months of age, the unvaccinated and those with weakened immune systems are at highest risk from exposure to measles.

How is measles spread? Very easily! The virus is in the mu-

cus in the nose or throat of a person with measles, spreading easily through the air when the person sneezes or coughs. Droplets can get into other people’s noses or throats when they breathe or from contact with objects that have been sneezed or coughed on. The virus can live in the air for up to 2 hours!

People can unknowingly spread measles before they have the measles rash. The contagious period is about four days before the rash appears through four days after the rash can be seen.

What do you do if you think you may have been exposed to measles?

Stay home, avoid public places and

What do you need to know about measles?

Saturday was a great day to be a High-lander swimmer as the Hazen boys swam away with the West District 3A title and several Highlanders brought home first-place individual finishes.

With Highlander swimmers finishing in the top six in almost every event, Hazen was able to take the top team spot away from Seamount champs and perennial

favorites Kennedy, scoring 206 points to the Lancers’ 203.

Senior Connor Broughton won two events for Hazen and fellow senior Nolan Hoover and junior Derek Wei also each took home a first-place finish.

The tone was set early as Kennedy and Hazen raced into the finish of the 200-yard medley relay less than a second apart with the Highlander team of Hoover, Brough-ton, Wei and Sergio Licea-Montes just getting out-touched at the wall by less than 0.7 seconds by the Kennedy team.

It happened again in the next event as Licea-Montes finished just second in the 200-yard freestyle to a Kennedy swimmer.

But in the 200-yard individual medley, the Highlanders placed two boys on the podium as Connor Broughton easily won the race with a time of 1:29.16 and Kien Nguyen finished sixth at 2:16.70.

Hoover kept it going, finishing fifth in the 50-yard freestyle with a time a 22.82 and missing fourth place by just 0.02 seconds.

Hazen again placed two swimmers on the podium in the 100-yard butterfly with Licea-Montes and Wei finishing second and third, respectively.

Broughton earned his second first-place victory in the 500-yard freestyle, as the Highlanders again placed two on the

podium with Turner Englehart swimming his way to a fourth-place finish in the event.

Hoover earned his first-place finish in the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 55.97, beating his closest competitor by more than a second.

Wei then put Hazen back at the top of the podium in the meet’s final individual event, the 100-yard breaststroke, posting a 1:01.82 for a win of more than a second.

Finally, the 400-freestyle relay team of Broughton, Hoover, Wei and Licea-Montes finished a close second behind Kennedy to secure the overall meet win.

A total of 10 Hazen swimmers will be moving on to the state meet this weekend in Federal Way.

If you’ve been thinking about taking steps to improve your bite or smile, you’re not alone. Many people are checking out new options that are now available instead of bulky metal braces of the past. Regular metal braces are much smaller today. There are also clear braces and clear aligners, like Invisalign and ClearCorrect. At our office, we can even create a personalized hybrid approach, such as clear aligners on top teeth and braces on the bottom.

The important thing to remember is that you are unique, and orthodontic treatment is definitely not a “one size fits all.” Your diagnosis and recom-

mended treatment will be based on a study of your mouth and orthodontic records. We will work together to come up with an option that will give you the best results.

How will I benefit from braces?

Malocclusion--a bad bite--can cause premature and excessive wear of teeth, difficulty in chew-ing and speaking, traumatic stress on supporting roots and bones, and gum recession. Correcting these problems can provide an oral environment that promotes life-long healthy teeth, bones, gums and the benefits of a confi-dent smile.

How long will I have to wear

braces? If nearly every tooth needs

repositioning and aligning, the treatment time can range from 16 to 22 months; however, correcting a limited number of teeth can be achieved within 5 or 6 months.

Call our office for a compli-mentary exam. We can talk about options to achieve the results you desire.

Dr. Mike Hairfield DDS, MSD, received his specialty training in Orthodontics from the Univ. of Washington, holds advanced degrees in bioengineering and mathematics, and is a member of the American Association of Orthodontics.

The season came to an end this weekend for all three girls basketball teams as each team fell during the district tournaments.

RENTONThe Renton Indians

opened their playoff cam-paign Wednesday at home against Sammamish and the Totems proved too much for them, besting the home team 63-41.

Sammamish was in control from the jump, win-ning the first quarter 11-8 and then extending their lead with a 21-12 second quarter. Renton rallied a bit in the third, but an 18-point fourth quarter from the Totems put the game out of reach.

Renton bounced back Friday night with a 43-37 win over Port Angeles at Wilson High School in Tacoma to move on to keep

their postseason hopes alive.

No stats were available for the game.

But the season came to a close on Monday as the Indians dropped a one-point heartbreaker to North Kitsap 49-48.


Renton finishes the year with a 16-7 overall record.

LINDBERGHAfter winning a tie-break

to make it into the tourna-ment, the Lindbergh Eagles ran into trouble in the form of the Franklin Pierce Cardinals, who bested the Eagles 56-32 Wednesday night.

Alani Sinclair led the Eagles with 11 points in the loss.

After the loss, Lindbergh found themselves in a win-or-go-home game Friday at Wilson High School in Tacoma.

Unfortunately, the Wash-

ington Patriots proved to be too much, besting Lind-bergh 50-42.

No stats were available.The Eagles end the

season with a 5-16 overall record.

HAZENThe Wilson Rams nearly

doubled-up the Hazen Highlanders on Wednesday night, winning 72-38 at Wilson.


The Highlanders responding to opening-round loss by picking up a one-point win Friday over Mount Tahoma at Franklin Pierce High School, 40-49.

Unfortunately, on Monday, the Highlanders season came to an end at the hands of Central Kitsap, who nearly doubled up the Highlanders 65-33.

No stats were available for either game.

Hazen finishes the year with an 11-12 record.

Lindbergh victory sets up Thursday match-up with SammamishBY BRIAN BECKLEY

[email protected]

The Lindbergh Eagles are still alive, but unfortunately the season has ended for both the Renton and Hazen basketball teams.

LINDBERGHLindbergh’s Devon Jackson and Anthony

Hill each scored 20 points to lead the Eagles to a 58-49 opening round win over the Sequim Huskies Feb. 12 at Lindbergh High School.

The Eagles opened the game by dou-bling up Sequim 14-7 in the first quarter and then extended their lead to 31-18 at the half. Sequim tried to rally with a 17-10 third quarter, but Lindbergh took back over in the fourth to secure the win.

Lindbergh moved on to face River Ridge on Saturday, but the Hawks proved too much, topping the Eagles 61-54 on the back of a strong fourth quarter.

River Ridge went out fast, doubling up Lindbergh 18-9 in the first quarter, but Lindbergh nearly returned the favor in the second as the teams headed to halftime with River Ridge ahead 27-25.

Lindbergh then won the third quarter and the Eagles headed into the final frame with a 45-43 lead. But in the fourth, River Ridge again came alive and again doubled-up the Eagles 18-9 for a final score of 51-54.

Jackson scored 21 points for the Eagles in the loss, followed by Darrien Sawyer-Lamb with 11.

Then, playing a loser-out game Tuesday night in Tacoma against Liberty, the Eagles boys basketball team kept their postseason hopes alive with a 44-41 victory over the Patriots.

No statistics were available.The win earns Lindbergh a date with

Sammamish at 6 p.m. Thursday at Cur-tis High School in Tacoma. Sammamish opened their tournament with a win over Foster but fell to White River before beat-ing North Kitsap.

The winner of Thursday’s game will earn a spot in the regional tournament and the loser’s season will be over.

RENTONThe Renton Indians opened their post-

season at home Feb. 12 with a 60-53 win over the Liberty Patriots.

The Indians took the opening quarter 11-9 and stayed hot through the second to take a 29-21 lead into half time. But the Patriots battled back, closing the gap to 37-31 at the end of three. The two teams then battled through a high-scoring fourth quarter, with Renton able to hold on for the win.

Ben Comer led the Indians with 14 points, followed by Vu Nguyen and Krishan Coles with 12 points each.

Liberty’s Noble Cooper led all scorers with 31.

In the second round, the Washington Patriots got the best of Renton, topping the Indians 83-68 and forcing Renton in to a loser-out game on Tuesday.

Renton went out strong against Wash-ington, winning the first quarter 25-19 and then holding on to a 41-37 lead as the two teams went to the locker room.

But Washington turned on the jets in the second half, outscoring the Indians 22-17 in the third quarter and 24-10 in the final frame to secure the win.

Jordan Quigtar led Renton with 21 points in the loss. Ben Comer added 12.

The season came to an end, however, with a 73-52 loss to Sequim Tuesday night.

The game started fast, with Sequim jumping out to a 25-20 lead after the first, and then settled into a more traditionally paced game and the teams headed to the locker room with Sequim up 32-30.

After a tight third quarter, Sequim was

only up 47-42, but the Huskies turned it on in the final frame, outscoring the Indian 26-10 to secure the win.

Comer and Krishan Coles led the Indi-ans with 13 points each in the loss.

Renton finishes the year with an 11-11 record.

HAZENHazen opened their playoffs with a 72-60

triple overtime loss against Lincoln on Feb. 12.

On Saturday, the Highlanders ended Mount Tahoma’s season with a 75-63 win over the Thunderbirds and earned another game, this one against Auburn-Mountain-view on Tuesday.

But the Lions ended the Hazen boys season, besting the Highlanders 58-54 in a loser-out game at Rogers High School in Puyallup.

No statistics were available from any of the games.

The Highlanders finish the year with a 16-7 overall record.

coach Rory Magana, though he did not win, the standout performer on the day for the Highlanders was 106-pound wrestler Anthony Scott, who finished third. Magana said Scott battled a serious injury all week and then dropped his first match before battling his way through three opponents he had already lost to, including a second-round overtime vic-tory against a wrestler that beat him the week before.

Hazen will send Scott, Mowrey, Nik Vargas, Derek Nichols and Sevensen to the Classic.

The Lindbergh Swim team came in fourth during this past week-end’s 2A district meet, but two members of the team made their way to the top of the podium.

Sophomore James Buchanan, who qualified for every individual event at the state meet, won the 200 individual medley and diver Derek Anderson, who last week set a new school record, easily won the diving event.

With a score of 431.15 points, Anderson fell short of his record-setting 460 points the week before but still bested his closest opponent by nearly 96 points. Anderson also finished third in the 100-yard breaststroke.

In the 200-yard IM, Buchanan cruised into the wall in 2:02.54, nearly 3 seconds ahead of the second-place finisher. Buchanan also finished in second-place in the 100-yard backstroke, being out-touched at the finish by less than 0.8 seconds.

Several other Lindbergh swimmers made their way to the podium this past weekend as well.

The 200-yard medley relay team of Buchanan, Anderson, Andrew Pogue and Dirk Healy finished fourth.

In the 50-yard freestyle, Pogue tied with Liberty’s Russell Andrew for fourth place, each coming in at 23.82.

Pogue also finished fourth in the 100-yard free.In the 500-yard freestyle, Dupree Nugent earned a fifth-place finish,

finally getting on the podium after finishing just out of the medals at seventh-place in the 200 freestyle.

In the 200-free relay, the team of Pogue, Anderson, Nugent and Pogue made the finals but were disqualified.

Finally, the 400-yard freestyle relay team of Pogue, Anthony Vo-geler, Nugent and Buchanan finished sixth.

In total, 10 Lindbergh swimmers qualified for and will swim in this weekend’s state meet in Federal Way. For complete results, visit http://www.wiaa.com/subcontent.aspx?SecID=318

of the risk to other motorists. The Lancer was spotted by another officer turning into the Berkshire apartment complex, where it knocked down mail boxes and nearly hit a woman and other vehicles.

The three male juveniles inside fled. The engine was sputtering; loud music blared from inside. The of-ficer was overwhelmed with the smell of freshly burnt marijuana.

During all this, the manager of a pawn shop had called 911 to report the theft of a 14-karat gold neck-lace. He showed the young man the necklace only after he provided some identification. The man then fled with the necklace, leaving behind his New York identi-fication.

The Lancer was towed away because of the damage to it.

Joint tenancy is a form of ownership in which two or more persons own an asset jointly. Upon the death of one, the ownership of the asset is presumed to pass to the surviving joint owner(s) without probate.

Sometimes joint tenancy is useful. But it may be inconsistent with the provisions of the Will and create uncertainty or conflict after death.

In other cases, joint tenancy can disrupt a plan to minimize estate taxes.

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

I have more than 40 years of experience providing thoughtful and comprehensive counsel for clients. Please call 425-227-8700 to make an appointment.

Committed to you and the community.
