The Friends of Renton Schools celebrated its third benefit break-fast Monday morning with the help of former NASA astronaut Bonnie Dunbar and raising close to $189,000 for Renton schools.
Dunbar was the keynote speaker for the fund-raising event and spoke to the crowded Renton Pavilion Event Center about her upbringing and the importance for young people to understand the paths open for
them.This year the breakfast raised
close to $189,000 and organiz-ers expected to reach $200,000 as donations were still coming in mid-week. Last year the event raised more than $180,000.
“We are so thrilled with the community support,” said Pam Teal, Renton school board member and chair of Friends of Renton Schools. “We have a very generous community that sup-ports education.”

Seattle International Film Festival
Renton gets something extra in opening filmSIFF: thE world of film rEturNs to rENtoN
By DEAN A. RADFORD
The producers were looking for a handsome older gentleman.
It didn’t take long for Don Bressler of Renton, the retired president of Renton Technical College and active in the commu-nity, to get the part in the film that will kick off the Seattle Interna-tional Film Festival in Renton, “Fat Kid Rules the World.”
Bressler plays a doctor in the film. He’s an extra, mostly in the background, adding to the realism of the shoot at a hospital.
Wife Susan had emailed in his photo to the casting website one Sunday evening and within 10 minutes, Bressler was offered the part. Initially, Bressler said no, facing two long days of shooting.
Then he changed his mind.“I thought it would be interest-
ing and fun,” he said. It was.Bressler hasn’t yet seen the
award-winning film, so maybe all his scenes ended up on the cut-ting-room floor. He wore khaki pants and a long-sleeved shirt. He didn’t have to learn any lines.
The shoot was last summer at an historic building in Des Moines that has served in many ways, including a retirement community. Bressler had no idea at the time that his “debut” would also be the opening-night film of the famed festival.
Renton has other connections, too.
About 100 Lindbergh students served as extras when the film-makers came to their school to shoot for three days last summer.
And the Bresslers’ good friend, Heather Nasarow, co-owner of Renton’s only winery, the Cedar River Cellars, played a nurse for the Des Moines shoot at the Landmark on the Sound over-looking Puget Sound.
She was was in lots of scenes walking up and down halls and in the background, adding to that realistic air, just like Bressler.
She had what she described as “a lot of shots of her lower ratio,” meaning her derriere, she said, laughing.
“I don’t know if I’ll see my head” she said.‘Fat Kid Rules the World,’ partly filmed in Renton, will kick off the Seattle
International Film Festival in Renton on May 18. Submitted

Bellevue College’s Parent Education Program will hold an open house for a class targeting toddlers and their parents May 10.
The class is from noon to 1 p.m. at May Valley Alliance Church located at 16431 SE Renton-Issaquah Rd. in Renton.
It is designed for parents to meet faculty, get more information about classes and learn how to enroll.
“In all of our classes, we offer active learning experiences for young children and their parents, plus training in tech-niques parents can use to improve their relationship with their children,” said Lisa Allen, the program’s director. “It’s fun be-cause parents and children play and learn together, which also makes our classes unique.”
Kids and parents attend the same class and each class focuses on several distinct age levels, ranging from infants through seven years of age.
The curriculum is designed specifically for each stage of development.
Classes are offered in Bellevue and the surrounding area.

The City of Renton and representatives from Johansen Excavating Inc. are hosting a Rainier Avenue Improve-ments Project Open House on May 15.

A temporary state program set up to help Green River Valley business owners find flood insur-ance coverage has ended, now that insurance is once more available.
“We’re confident that area busi-nesses seeking flood insurance are again able to find it,” said state Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler. “And as always, I contin-ue to urge anyone in a flood plain to strongly consider the National Flood Insurance Program or other flood coverage.”
In 2009, multiple businesses in the Green River Valley, in south King County, reported difficulty finding flood coverage due to concerns about slumping in an earthen abutment to the Howard Hanson Dam.
Kreidler pressed for legislation granting him additional author-
ity, if needed, to order insurers to sell flood coverage. As it turned out, insurers voluntarily agreed to form a “market assistance plan” and offer coverage to businesses if needed.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engi-neers tested and repaired the dam. In September 2011, the Corps announced that it was confident again operating the dam at its full flood storage capacity.
“The market assistance plan was always designed to be a temporary measure, and it served its purpose,” said Kreidler. “It was important to stabilize the insurance market so that this key industrial and distri-bution area was protected from catastrophic risk.”
Kreidler is dissolving the market assistance plan.
Flood insurance program ends

Two suspects in a Burien bur-glary remained at large midweek after an extensive search just south of Foster High School in Tukwila by a police tracking dog and officers from Tukwila and Renton.
The manhunt was preceded by a short high-speed chase from Rainier Avenue in Renton to Tukwila International Boulevard in Tukwila.
The pursuit, which started at 11:32 a.m. and lasted just a few minutes, followed all protocols of the Renton Police Department, according to a department spokes-woman.
Tukwila and Renton police of-ficers, along with state troopers, set up a wide perimeter to contain the suspects from Interstate 5 westward toward Tukwila International Bou-levard and from South 144th Street at Foster High to South 154th Street near the light-rail tracks.
The two burglary suspects, de-scribed as Hispanic males, 5-foot-8 and in their 20s, were spotted by a Renton Police sergeant on Rainier Avenue near McLendon Hardware.
Local police agencies had been alerted that the Burien burglary suspects were driving a green BMW that had been stolen in Kent.
The high-speed pursuit, which reached 70 mph at times, took Renton officers through the Fred Meyer parking lot on Rainier, then to Southwest Seventh Street, Oakes-dale Avenue, Grady Way and then to southbound Interstate 405.
They continued west in State Route 518, exiting onto Tukwila International Boulevard. They con-tinued east on South 154th Street, which later becomes Southcenter Boulevard. They fled after leaving
the BMW at an apartment complex.Mike Murphy, a spokesman for
the Tukwila Police Department, said Tukwila’s police cars halted their pursuit on South 154th, fol-lowing protocol. He indicated that Renton’s police cars also stopped their pursuit.
The Renton Police Department is handling the case because the incident involved eluding a Renton Police officer.
Terri Vickers, a spokeswoman for the Renton Police Department, said the department as a matter of
procedure reviews all high-speed pursuits. The department’s policy on such pursuits is five pages long, she said.
Officers have discretion to end a pursuit, based on such issues as traffic levels and the pursuit speeds. A sergeant monitors every pursuit, she said.
Inside the search perimeter, about 20 police units – most of the day shifts of the Renton and Tuk-wila police departments – searched for the suspects. They were assisted by the Washington state troopers.
Vickers said that other officers were still on the streets in Renton.
“We wouldn’t leave Renton unat-tended,” she said.
The search ended at around 1 p.m., after officers had followed tips from residents who came in contact with the suspects or saw them run-ning through back yards and on streets.
Thorndyke Elementary, Foster High School and Showalter Middle School in the Tukwila School Dis-trict were locked down about noon; the lockdown ended about 1 p.m.
High-speed chase leads to manhunt
Sikh parade iS Saturday
The fifth annual parade in celebration of Khalsa Day or
Visakhi, a Sikh religious festival, is at 11 a.m. Saturday.
The celebration is marked with a colorful procession that starts
at Gurdwara Singh Sabha of Washington, 5200 Talbot Road S.
in Renton, and marches toward South 200th Street.
The parade route then will proceed down 200th Street
toward 100th Avenue Southeast and end in front of Springbrook
Elementary School.There, there will be free food
available for attendees for two hours.
Then the parade will reverse direction and head back to the
temple where it will end at 5 p.m.Event organizers expect thousands
of participants and attendees. All are welcome to this event
hosted by the greater Seattle Sikh community.
Tukwila Police officers used a tracking dog in the early afternoon Tuesday near Foster High School in Tukwila to search for burglary suspects. A police perimeter was set up around a wide area to contain the suspects. DEAn A. RADFoRD, Renton Reporter

BUSINESSR E N T O N

With growing popularity and a bustling collection of businesses, Creative Work-space has become a concentrated version of the Renton Highlands community itself.
Creative Workspace at 401 Olympia Ave. N.E., provides flexible business and recreation space.
“We’ve got a very unique little commu-nity here and we’d like everyone to know about it,” said property manager Eleanor Mitchell.
The facility houses about 135 units of varying sizes. Since opening in 2006, it has stayed about 80 percent occupied. The units come as a blank slate; tenants can essential-ly do what they want to customize them.
“We keep the cost really low, because what they’re getting is a pretty simple space,” said part owner Jeff Silesky. “People can make the spaces very compelling. They can do whatever they want, within reason.”
With a month-to-month lease structure that keeps risk low, there are several posi-tives for small businesses. One is the net-working possibilities among other tenants.
Brian Kushin, owner of Seattle Gold and Prospecting, gets his taxes done a few doors down from his business. He buys his insur-ance from the company next door. If cus-tomers come in asking about gold-mining trips to Alaska, he sends them to the travel agent on the other side. Kushin also utilizes Vince’s Coffee for meetings. He gets a place to meet, while Vince’s gets customers.
Silesky said Vince’s is a critical piece of the facility, because it gives the tenants and customers a central place to hang out and meet.
“It’s a very important amenity in the building because people can bring clients in, sit down, have some coffee,” he said. “It’s something that makes it more comfortable for a startup business.”

Vince’s a hub for facility[ CReaTIVe from page 4 ]
Expansion for businesses in the building is common.
“As they grow, they can progressively go up in size,” Mitchell said.
Highlands Naturopathic Physician, LLC, started with one unit and has expanded to six as the company has grown. It’s that flexibility and low risk that Silesky and Mitchell say makes Creative Workspace special.
“It’s not a huge commitment to get in and get going,” Mitchell said. “They can take the chance because they’re not losing a lot if it doesn’t work.”
The month-to-month approach also helps if there is a problem with a new tenant.
“We’re really sensitive as to how they will affect the other tenants, whether it’s noise or smells, or anything,” Silesky said. “It’s rare, but at times we have to ask people to leave because it didn’t work out.”
Moving to a different unit is also an option sometimes.
Silesky and his partners bought Renton Highland Self Storage, next to Creative Workspace, in the mid 90s. They bought the land that Creative Workspace stands on later, originally intending to expand with more storage. But with several storage facilities already in the area, they decided there wasn’t enough demand.
They first got the idea for Creative Work-space from Activspace in Seattle. Activspace offered small affordable office spaces.
“That was an interesting niche,” Silesky said. “Being in the storage business, this is kind of like people storage, only it’s more compli-cated.”
They soon discovered that most of their tenants were not people using the offices for crafts and hobbies as in Activspace, but small businesses.
“People are looking for more affordabil-ity and more people are starting their own business,” he said. “So it really serves a need to give people an opportunity to do that and customize their space how they want.”

For 23 years I have been privileged to represent – at three levels of government – the interests of South King County. As someone who has spent her entire life in South King County, I have wit-nessed first-hand the significant change socially, culturally, and economically. Twenty years ago, the population in South King County was ap-proximately 448, 500. Since then, our population has soared to over 660,000 people –a third of King County’s 2 million total population. What is astounding about this growth is that people of color in South King County increased from roughly 13 percent in 1990 to 48 percent in 2010
– 55 percent of which are children of color. This drastic shift in our demographics compels us to apply a more comprehensive approach to policy development, at all levels of government, especially in areas as diverse as South King County. If you look at major social indica-
tors such as poverty and high school drop-out rates, two conclusions are evident:
1.) There is a substantial gap between services and need.
2.) Limited opportunities exist for a majority of South County residents.
If you live in South King County you are more likely to be living below the poverty line and have children attending schools with high drop-out rates. More than 42 percent of South King County residents are below the poverty line. And the drop-out rate in South County is around 23 percent, which is twice as high as East King County.
I share these statistics not to diminish hope, but rather to spur people to action. I believe when there is a need, opportunity presents itself – and I hope that our collective action results in the opportunity being created for all families and children to thrive. It really boils down to this: “Our problems, some of which I identified above, can’t be solved unless those of us that live in the community choose to solve them.”
In King County government, we are leading with our Social Justice and Equity Initiative. This initiative ensures that the principles of justice and equity are incorporated into all of our work. It directly addresses equity in our community. It removes the barriers that deny access to econom-ic success and physical well-being by advocating the belief that everyone be given the opportunity to reach their full potential. For example, in Public Health, the application of this initiative improved access for underrepresented commu-nities by expanding the translation services for over 20 languages spoken in King County. And in the Department of Transportation the initia-tive spurred investments in sidewalks and safer streets in our communities, thereby improving access to bus service and connections to shop-ping and employment centers.
These are just two examples of King County government’s effort to address disparities in South King County. The goal is to expand op-portunity for all, which will allow people to lead a healthier life and feel safe in our community. That kind of success will be incremental and take time. It will require more advocates, more vol-unteers, and more of us South County residents to stand up and say “we can do better.” By doing so, we are embracing our community values to provide a safe place for all to live, work and play and opportunity for our children to flourish. To-gether we can make South King County thrive – empowered by a diverse and growing community helping shape our neighborhoods for a healthier, brighter future.

There was another sign this week of just how much Renton residents and its business com-munity support Renton’s schools and students.
Nearly $190,000 was raised in this year’s annual Friends of Renton Schools benefit breakfast and the fundraising leading up to it.
Thanks at the breakfast appropriately went to Bob Bridge, who was called Renton schools’ “best friend.” That is without doubt. But he’s always ready to heap praise on others, including his competition, Renton’s other community-spirited car dealers.
Besides raising money for Renton’s schools, the breakfast itself is becoming a learning experience. Bill Gates Sr. spoke at the first breakfast and last year, it was Sally Jewell, president and CEO of REI.
This year’s crowd of 300-plus listened to former NASA astronaut Bonnie Dunbar, who flew in space five times and was the director of the Museum of Flight. She now works as director of Higher Education and STEM for the Boeing Co.
That Boeing position gives her a pulpit to talk about the importance of getting a strong science and math background in school. It’s a message that’s so important to Renton, as Boeing turns to Renton Technical College and other colleges for the next generation of engineers and technical workers.
And, yes, the background includes algebra. And, yes, that future includes our daughters who are learning to become engineers, technicians and even astronauts. It never
occurred to Dunbar that being a woman was an impediment to her dream of flying in space.
But, of course, the battle to fully fund our schools never ends. The Friends of Renton Schools will con-tinue to raise money in the future and those efforts deserve our support.
Those efforts are already paying off. Once-strug-gling students and schools are showing achievement in critical areas such as reading and math, with the help of support programs funded by Friends of Renton Schools.
So when thanks are to be given, the list should include all the VOLUNTEERS who make up the Friends of Renton Schools, including School Board member Pam Teal.
They exemplify what can happen when problems are attacked positively, rather than pointing fingers of blame at the system.

MultiCare Health System, a regional, nonprofit integrated health system headquartered in Tacoma, has announced plans to purchase the hospital and clinic assets of Auburn Regional Medical Center from Universal Health Services Inc., a corpora-tion based in King of Prussia, Pa.
The sale is subject to regula-tory review, which is expected
to take place by late sum-mer.
“We are very excited to welcome Auburn Regional Medical Center into the Mul-tiCare network,” said Di-
ane Cecchettini, RN, president and CEO of MultiCare. “This is great news for patients, physi-cians and employees. For nearly two decades, MultiCare has served South King County resi-dents through our outpatient
clinics. We will now be able to offer hospital services as well, providing a complete system of care for our patients.”
Auburn Regional Medical Center, a 213-bed hospital with 861 employees, has served the
community since 1921.Auburn Medical will become
part of MultiCare’s integrated nonprofit health care sys-tem, which includes Tacoma General Hospital, Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital & Health
Center, Allenmore Hospital, Good Samaritan Hospital and numerous outpatient clinics and specialty centers.
“(Auburn Regional Medi-cal Center) has served the community for more than 90 years and we are pleased that this transaction will allow the community to be served by a fully-integrated health system such as MultiCare,” said Larry Coomes, CEO of Auburn Re-gional Medical Center. “We will work closely with MultiCare to ensure a smooth transition for our patients, our employees and our medical staff partners. We expect the transition of owner-ship to be completed by the end of the summer.”
In South King County, MultiCare operates a network of primary care, specialty care and urgent care clinics in Auburn, Kent, Covington and Maple Valley, as well as the new Emergency Department that opened in April at the Multi-Care Covington Medical Cen-ter. MultiCare also has plans to build a hospital in Covington.
MultiCare has more than 9,000 employees in the South Puget Sound.

International healthcare technology and services company Global Health-care Exchange (GHX) has awarded Valley Medical Center the GHXcellence Award for U.S. Provider of the Year: Small to Mid-size Facility.
VMC earned the award for leverag-ing opportunities in the supply chain to cut costs, reduce waste and improve business performance while improv-ing patient care, according to a press release.
GHXellence Awards are based on specific metrics related to automating supply chain processes and creating efficiencies.
“One of the most significant contri-butions the supply chain can make to a hospital is offering new ways to reduce the costs associated with providing healthcare. Negotiating lower prices is no longer enough,” said Lindy Dilling-ham, Director, Materials Management, Valley Medical Center.
Valley Medical Center will be rec-ognized next month at the GHX 2012 Healthcare Supply Chain Summit.

The following information was compiled based on City of Renton Police reports.
By TRACEy COMPTON
A Renton woman was involved in a road-rage incident in downtown Renton on April 22.
The 32-year-old woman told police that she tried to pass a grey Dodge Charger on State Route 167 sometime after midnight.
The woman believed that the Charger wanted to race and it sped off.
Then both vehicles arrived at the stop-light on Rainier Avenue South at South Grady Way.
A female driver of the Charger began to shout and threaten the woman.
A male passenger came out of the Charger, threw a container of yogurt on the woman’s vehicle and at her.
Then the male threatened to shoot the woman, displaying a black handgun.
He got back into the Charger and the two suspects drove away.
They are both described as Samoan or Hawaiian, with the woman in her 20s to early 30s. She wore an orange and white shirt.
The man had long black hair pulled in a pony tail and was described as in his mid-to-late 20s.
The vehicle was a gray Dodge Charger.
Renton woman receives text threats
A Renton woman received text threats from a Portland man on April 21.
Police were sent to the 2100 block of Ed-monds Avenue Northeast to the residence of a 38-year-old woman.
She notified police that a 29-year-old
man, who lives in Port-land and she has a child with, had threatened
her via text message.The two were communicating via text on
April 20 about a relationship the woman has with one of the man’s childhood friends.
The man wrote the woman, “I’m telling you somebody going to die before I let this go.”
The woman was interested in seeking a restraining order because she knows the man carries guns and was worried about her safety.
Since the text did not threaten one par-ticular person and the man lives in Oregon, police were not sure if he was capable of committing a crime against the woman.
Covington man assaulted after cashing work check
A Covington man was assaulted by two women in a Money Tree store in Renton on April 23.
The 29-year-old man supposedly met the women at a hotel in Seatac and allowed them to stay with him overnight in his hotel room because they didn’t have a place to stay.
The man did not know their names.In the morning they offered to drive
him to a Money Tree store to cash his work check.
One of the females went into the store with him.
When they came out, the women demanded that the man pay them $40 to $50 in gas money and he said he would pay only $20.
They got mad and demanded more money and the man ran back into the store to escape them.
He passed the teller his cash and the women proceeded to punch, slap and kick him.
He asked the clerk to call the police and the suspects continued to fight with him and took his wallet.
When police arrived at the store on Rainier Avenue South, the man would not give clear details about how he met the women.
His Social Security card, green card and $20 was taken.
Renton man cited for runing over toy car
A Renton man put an end to a noisy remote-control car and got cited on April 23.
Police were dispatched to the 2100 block of Edmonds Avenue Northeast where a 70-year-old man was standing outside at about 10:20 p.m.
The man told police that after about a half hour of listening to a noisy remote control car in his neighborhood, he decided to do something about it.
The man got in his vehicle and started down the street.
He said he could see people standing on the corner.
The man said he purposely drove toward the remote-control car and tried to run over it.
The man successfully ran over the toy and he told police that he thought that was the right thing to do.
Police told him that he had committed the crime of malicious mischief and he had a hard time believing them.
The man was cited and the case was
forwarded to the King County Prosecutor’s Office for review.
Renton man arrested after screaming at traffic
A Renton man was detained after screaming at traffic and harassing several people on April 13.
Police were called to the intersection of Northeast Ninth Street and Edmonds Avenue Northeast at about 7:18 a.m.
A man approached police there and complained of another man screaming at him and threatening to beat him up.
Then the suspect appeared and started yelling at the 73-year-old man and threat-ening him.
Police ordered the man away for his safety.
Then another man, 54, came and told police the suspect screamed at his house, waking up he and his wife.
Police arrested the 43-year-old suspect for harassment.
Woman’s name used to file income taxes
Someone fraudulently used a woman’s identity to file taxes in her name, a woman reported to police April 13.
The 53-year-old woman told police that she tried to file her taxes but was denied be-cause the Internal Revenue Service claimed someone had already done so using her name and social security number.
The woman said she did not authorize anyone to file her taxes and was unsure how they got her information.
The woman’s name, date of birth and social security number were used, but there was an unknown address on the form.

Changing the myth of scary dentistry,one smile at a time...
Emergency Dental Tip:In general, baby teeth that get dislodged are not re-implanted due to the risk of compromising the forming adult tooth. For dislodged permanent teeth, do the following: –locate all of the pieces or whole tooth, hold tooth by the crown not the root and rinse gently with warm water if dirty. Never transport the tooth in water or scrub the root. Place the tooth in either milk or saline solution. The tooth has the best chance of survival if replaced within 30 minutes. Follow up with dentist as soon as possible. For more information about how to keep your child’s mouth healthy, visit us online at www.akidsplacedentistry.com

Dunbar has completed five space mis-sions and spent some 50 days in space in her career. Dunbar, a University of Wash-ington graduate, is the director of Higher Education and STEM for the Boeing Co.
As a second-generation American with family origins in Scotland, Dunbar explained how she was drawn to the stars as a child.
They were the wonder of her imagination growing up on a rural farm in Outlook in Eastern Washington with no city lights to obscure her view.
Dunbar talked about her parents, teach-
ers and pieces of history that shaped her pursuit of becoming an engineer with the intent to become an astronaut.
The oldest of four children, Dunbar loved to read.
“I went all over the world in those books,” she said of geography and other reading she encountered as a child.
“We need to invest in our youth today,” she said.
Dunbar stressed the importance of math and science as a language that students today need to learn.
Youth today should be enabled to realize

their dreams for the betterment of society, she said.
About 300 people attended the fund-raising breakfast, filling more than 30 tables.
Bob Bridge, retired owner of Bob Bridge Toyota, was in awe of the amount of community support.
“The thing that was overwhelming to me was what a celebration for the city of Renton,” Bridge said.
He was amazed and the representation from elected officials and key business leaders to lead-ers from the education and religious community as well.
From Seattle Seahawks representatives on down to staff from the Federal Reserve, the turn-
out is a testament to the city of Renton, he said.The event was put on by the organization,
Friends of Renton Schools, which started in 2009. The group was started by educators, business owners, civic leaders and community volunteers. Recently they hired a grant writer, the only paid staff to support fund-raising efforts.
The aim is to address the ongoing problems arising from state and federal education budget deficits and the impact they have on the quality of public education in the Renton School District.
Since 2006 the district has raised the gradua-tion rate from 74 percent to 94 percent.
The Renton School District is coming off of a victory, passing a $97 million school-improve-ment bond measure, which was validated on Friday. The measure received a 65.57 approval; in numbers that’s a 95-vote margin of approval.

A Seattle-area pastor who defrauded two dozen victims, some of them his own parishioners, out of more than $1.8 million was sentenced Friday in U.S. District Court in Seattle to 40 months in prison, according to a federal press release.
The sentence includes three years of supervised release and $1,843,932 in restitution for wire fraud and money laundering.
Anthony C. Morris, 48, the pastor of New Covenant Christian Center, pleaded guilty in January, admit-ting that his fraud was a ‘Ponzi’ scheme where early investors were paid off from the money taken from later investors, according to the
press release.The congregation met in
Renton and more recently in Tukwila.
At sentencing U.S. Dis-trict Judge Richard A. Jones said the defendant “did not resist temptation and left a trail of victims.”
According to the plea agreement and charges filed in the case, between
2003 and April 2011, Morris convinced various investors to provide him money based on false and fraudulent representations. Morris told various inves-tors that their money would be placed in an overseas trading program, or used to invest in property for his church. Morris represented that the investments would
provide a high rate of return in a short period of time. Morris promised to return investor money in as little as a few days or a few weeks, with returns of as much as 400 percent. All these representations were false, and in fact Morris simply used the funds from later investors to pay off earlier investors.

A 54-year-old man was taken to Harborview Medi-cal Center Tuesday morn-ing with life-threatening in-juries after he was possibly hit by a vehicle on Sunset Boulevard Northeast, according to the Renton Police Department.
Mid-week his injuries were still considered life threatening.
Multiple passersby called 911 to report the man lay-ing on Sunset near Ho-quiam Avenue Northeast at about 5:50 a.m. Tuesday.
The Police Department is investigating the injury as a possible hit-and-run ac-
cident, based on the man’s “significant injuries,” said Detective Robert Onishi, a police spokesman.
However, he said, “we don’t know that for certain.”
That’s why investigators are asking that anyone who saw a hit-and-run acci-dent or the man prior to police arrival call the Police Department at 425-430-7500 and refer to case No. 12-4424.
The intersection of Sun-set and Hoquiam is just east of the Sunset commercial area in the east Highlands, out of view of most houses.

ClearChoice team of specialists brings you a dental implant solution that fi ts your budget ... in just one day!*
A LEADER IN DENTAL IMPLANT TREATMENT

Girls, girls and a few brave boys. These are play-ers of Hazen High School’s spring play, “It Happens Every Summer,” by David Rogers.
The show runs at 7 p.m., May 3, 4, 5, 11 and 12 in Hazen High School Audito-rium, 1101 Hoquiam Ave., NE in Renton.
Tickets are $6 for students with ASB, school district staff, seniors 55 and up, veterans and children under 12. Tickets are $8 for all other students and adults.
Brett Crueger, the school’s social studies teacher and theater director, chose the play to accommo-date his numerous strong female actors in the drama program.
“It Happens Every Sum-mer” is the tale of a group of college ladies working as guest editors for the July issue of “Debutante,” a New York fashion magazine.
The women are all prize winners of a contest from colleges around the country.
The show is upbeat, full
of funny situations and punctuated by witty lines.
This year’s crop of win-ners features wacky and wonderful personalities including that of Jennifer, played by senior Jessica Dinkins.
This is Dinkins’ fifth show at Hazen and, she said, “Usually the character I play is a lot like me and
this time I had to adapt to a new personality style.”
Although she would summarize her character as being sensible, hard-working and dedicated as she is, Dinkins said she’s more outgoing than the role she plays.
Junior Samantha Barber’s character, Flippy Wonder, provides the comic relief
with her made-up words such as “luxury-ish” and “romancible.”
Barber gets a lot out of performing, “just making friends and it’s a lot of fun to wear the costumes and pretend to be somebody you’re not,” she said.
Seventy-seven different costumes depicting the styles of the late ‘50s and early ‘60s were rented for the performances from a company called Norcostco.
There are about six ward-robe changes.
There are 30 students in the play, with about 18 named parts.
“Most drama programs have a lot more females,” said Crueger. “It’s usually two females for every male who tries out. So what
I’ve usually done is I have strong female actors, who’ve been with me for multiple years, so I pick strong fe-male cast shows.”
Senior Shane Thompson said it’s a little different one of few guys in the drama program, but it does have it’s perks.
“I’m pretty sure most of the guys in this one have a date except for the body-guard, so it’s kind of cool to have that,” he said.

Because it is time-consuming and relatively costly, many people adopt various strategies to avoid probate (the legal process by which the estate of a deceased person is settled). One such vehicle, called the “living trust,” is so named because it is created when a person is alive. Holding property in trust poses no legal consequences while the creator of the living trust is alive. The property held in the trust transfers to the family and friends to whom it is left after death. The terms of the trust document, which is similar to a will, authorize the trustee to conduct this transfer, and probate courts have limited legal authority over property held in trust.
Disbursing your estate is a complicated matter, whether you do it through a will or a living trust. You need sound legal advice before you make any decisions. I have more than three decades of experience dealing with all aspects of estate planning, including wills, trusts, and probate, as well as elder law and Medicaid planning. If you have any questions, call 425-227-8700 to make an appointment. I have offices conveniently located in Renton and Kent.

Participating in the musical, “Legally Blonde” has taught a few Kentridge High School students about themselves.
Junior Caelan Creaser said playing the main char-acter Elle Woods showed her not to be afraid to express herself.
“What I love most about playing Elle is how honest and genuine she is,” Creaser said. “Playing this character has taught me to be more true to myself and stay strong.”
Senior Josh Baccetti learned to enjoy the mo-ment more.
“The message of this play is simple; live life as it comes at you and don’t sweat the little things,” he said.”There are always going to be ob-stacles in life that knock us down but we have to learn to get right back up. In this show, Elle encounters many obstacles and tries her best to learn from her mistakes and keep moving forward.”
“Legally Blonde” is play-ing at the high school the-ater May 2-5 and May 9-12. Evening shows are 7 p.m.,
with Saturday matinees at 2 p.m.
The musical is based on the novel “Legally Blonde” by Amanda Brown and the 2001 film of the same name. It tells the story of Elle Woods, a sorority girl who enrolls at Harvard Law School to win back her ex-
boyfriend Warner.Elle discovers how her
knowledge of the law can help others and success-fully defends a woman in a murder trial.
“Although the play with-holds many of the same elements as the movie, this show gives the audience a
more in depth look at the characters of the story,” Baccetti said. “You really get to see the true colors of Elle, Emmett, Warner, Vivienne, Paulette and so many oth-ers that are represented in this production. Also, the energy that our show is ca-pable of exerting really pulls
the audience in and keeps them interested.”
Baccetti said he had fun playing Warner in the show.
“Playing this character gives me a chance to get into the mind of a character so different from my own,” he said. “Also, there are traits about Warner that I can relate with. For me, it’s his sarcasm.”
Creaser tried out for the play because she loves acting.
“I wanted to be a part of this play because musical theatre is my passion; I plan on going to college to major in it,” she said. “And I also love the director and group of kids here that put on these amazing shows.”
Baccetti also has been a lifelong fan of musical theater.
“Theater has always been a passion of mine and it is one that I hope to continue throughout my post high school education,” he said. “When I found out Ken-tridge was doing ‘Legally Blonde: The Musical’ I was so excited because I knew we were one of the first schools in the state to do it and that we were going to go all out on making it
amazing.”Creaser has enjoyed par-
ticipating in the play.“I love being able to loose
myself completely in a new character,” she said. “Elle is really different from me but by getting the chance to play her, I have learned a lot on how to become a better person. I also love being able to sing with other kids who have the same passion as me.”
Baccetti can’t wait for the play to open.
“My favorite thing about being on stage is know-ing that you’re telling the audience a story,” he said. “There’s no stopping or re-doing. You get out there and you tell that story to the best of your ability. If you mess up, you make it work with the scene and keep going. This is such a rewarding feeling once you’ve com-pleted a scene correctly.”
Tickets for Legally Blonde are $10. For more informa-tion, visit www.kent.k12.wa.us/KR or call 253-373-7345.

Sometimes sibling rivalries aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. Brothers Zac and Jake Kolterman last faced each other in a game during an All-Star game scrimmage about six years ago.
“They wanted to face each other really badly,” said Scott Kolterman, their father. “Once they did, I don’t think they enjoyed it as much as they thought they would.”
Since then Zac, a senior, and Jake, a sophomore, have decided it’s better to work to-gether. Now both are terrorizing the opposition for the Hazen baseball team.
The two grew up playing baseball near their house at Laurelwood Park in Federal Way.
“We basically grew up playing baseball,” Zac said. “We have a good relationship. He’ll notice some things out there, I’ll no-tice others. It definitely works well.”

When the Lindbergh baseball team walked off the field after beat-ing Kennedy Catholic 9-1 Tuesday night to finish a perfect regular season, it meant something.
The Eagles had their first Sea-mount title in 13 years wrapped up for some time, but going unde-feated meant something. Beating Kennedy Catholic on the regular season’s final day meant something, too.
“I think that was the statement the kids wanted to make,” said Lindbergh coach Benny Benavides. “Staying undefeated, that was big for them. That was priority one. We hadn’t celebrated the league title or anything until we ended that game against Kennedy.”
Last year Lindbergh lost a double header to Kennedy on the final day of the regular season, which cost them the Seamount title. This year they easily avoided a repeat.
And Lindbergh didn’t just go undefeated this year. It dismantled the Seamount, outscoring oppo-nents 218-32. Lindbergh’s 218 runs scored were 40 more than any other team and its 32 runs allowed were 34 fewer than any other team.
The Eagles last won a league title
the season before Benavides started as head coach. It’s something he’s fought for every one of his 12 years at Lindbergh, and losing it on the final day of the season last year was tough.
“Every year we talk about it,” he said. “It all fell together with that win. There was something about that win. We were finally able to
move on.”The biggest key to another suc-
cessful year was at the plate.“Our key has been our quick
starts,” Benavides said. “They have done a very good job of working hard hitting-wise.”
Tyler Gould (.619), Billy Hernan-dez (.574), Matt Stuart (.488), Craig Yamaguchi (.465), Ryan White (.431) and Derrick Holt (.425) all hit over .400 for the season. Stuart finished with five home runs and 28 RBI. Gould hit four home runs with 25 RBI. Hernandez had 22 RBI and White had 21. Yamaguchi led the team with 31 runs scored and 11 steals.
And that’s not to say the pitch-ing lagged behind. Stuart and Love each finished with four wins on the

mound. Stuart had a 2.23 ERA and 23 strikeouts in 22 innings. Love had a 0.44 ERA.
Lindbergh played most of the season without leader Cam Callen, who missed all but two games with a shoulder injury. Callen was excellent at the plate, on the base paths, on defense and closing games for the Eagles last year.
“Everybody knows what kind of impact he has on the team and what he brings,” Benavides said. “We’re missing the hits, the running, the defense and him coming in and closing games.”
Benavides said Callen has still been a big asset in the dugout.
Lindbergh returns to the fairgrounds in Silverdale, a place with fond memories
from last year. The Eagles played there five straight days and won the district title. Benavides said that by the end of the tournament last year the grounds crew and staff were all rooting for Lindbergh. They take on North Kitsap Friday night at 7 p.m.
“We’re just starting,” Benavides said. “The next goal is a district champion-ship again. We were a step away from going to Yakima last year and we want to complete that next step.”
Lindbergh beat Centralia 2-1 in the first round of the 2A state tournament last year and fell to Burlington-Edison 10-1 in the quarter-finals. The semifinals and finals of the state tourna-ment are played at County Stadium in Yakima May 25-26.
Jake was usually good enough to play up a team, so the two have played together on club teams for the past 12 years.
“Zac definitely coaches his brother throughout the game,” said Hazen coach Mike Brundage. “They work re-ally well together. It’s fun to watch.”
Off the field, the two are very dif-ferent. People gravitate toward Zac, who stands 6-foot-6. Jake, 6-foot-1, is pretty quiet and very funny, Scott said.
“He’s quiet, but quick to laugh until you get to know him,” he said.
Zac has been a leader for Hazen pitching and hitting this year. He led the team with three home runs, 18 RBI and a .426 batting average. He also no-hit Renton April 9 while strik-ing out eight batters.
Jake pitched a perfect game against Foster, striking out 12 of the 15 batters he faced. He also came within an out of no-hitting Kennedy Catholic earlier in the year. He settled for a shutout with 12 strikeouts.
“It feels like it’s me and the catcher
playing catch,” Jake said. “I just block out everything else and try to focus.”
During those games, Zac takes on the job of keeping Jake’s head in the right place.
“I’ll try to calm him down,” Zac said. “He gets worked up quite a bit when he’s pitching. He puts all of his emotion into it.”
Scott said Zac’s experience has been a big advantage for Jake. After dealing with elite camps and pitching for scouts, Zac has an understand-ing of what it takes to play at the next level. He leads Jake in workouts after practice every day.
Zac has signed a Letter of Intent to play for Lewis and Clark State College next year.
“It’s going to be terrible,” Scott said. “Jake is definitely going to miss that influence. Not just on the field, but off the field too.”
For now, they’re enjoying the time playing together. One of Scott’s favor-ite moments of the season was when Zac hit a walk-off home run against Kennedy Catholic April 14.
“That moment when Zac hit the walkoff,” Scott said. “Watching Jake run out onto the field to jump on his brother’s back. I get excited to see little things like that.”
The Highlanders finished the regu-lar season 13-5 and in second place in the Seamount. The team had a turn-ing point in the second game of the season against Lindbergh. Hazen was trailing 6-5 until Lindbergh scored 18 runs in the top of the seventh.
“It was a bit of a rocky start to the season,” Brundage said. “We made some adjustments and moved on.”
Beyond the Kolterman brothers, Hazen has a third ace in senior Jimmy Schmidt, who led the team with four wins. He walked just three batters all season (out of 124 that he faced). Schmidt also led the team in runs and steals.
Alex Gayte also threw a no-hitter, giving the Highlanders three on the season. Jake led the team in strikeouts with 43. Zac had 36. Jake’s ERA was 0.85, Zac’s was 3.88. Schmidt finished with an ERA of 1.77.
The Lindbergh tennis team won the Seamount League championship with a 12-1 record. It is the school's first coed league championship since 1994 and second overall.
Joe Kwiatkowski was undefeated on the season and voted the overall
Seamount League Boys MVP. Quinn Osborn was undefeated all league season and was voted the overall Seamount League Girls MVP.
Lindbergh's top boys doubles team, Adrian Villenueva and Sam Bayna, were also undefeated. The
top girls doubles team, Kelly Saivong and Jeannie Joy Walters, went unde-feated together all league season.
Freshman Alan Kwiatkowski is the No. 2 seed in boys singles for the league tournament.

She got to walk by actor Johnny Depp about 15 times – “every girl’s dream.”

HOW A FAMILY-OWNED FERRY SERVICE IS
GOING THE DISTANCE FOR LOCAL RESIDENTS — AND THE SEATTLE ECONOMY.
To learn more about what we’re doing to help strengthen the local economy, visit bankofamerica.com/Seattle
For more than 25 years, the iconic red-and-blue Clipper � eet has been ferrying commuters and vacationers alike between Seattle, Victoria, B.C. and the spectacular San Juan Islands. To keep the � eet as modern and comfortable as possible for passengers, Clipper Vacations began working with Bank of America in 2007. We initially helped by restructuring loans that enabled engine upgrades, allowing the � eet to reach speeds of up to 30 knots. More recently, we provided � nancing to modernize the � eet’s interior cabins. It’s a relationship that’s not only helping to get Seattle residents where they need to go — it’s also helping to generate local economic growth: the family-owned � eet employs 150 people. Clipper is another example of how we’re working to help locally based businesses grow and hire in the Puget Sound — and across the country. In 2011, we provided $222 million in new credit to small businessesin Washington — an increase of 28% from 2010.
