Some Renton food pantry shelves are barely covered and the need for food is still great; that’s the report from area food banks this holiday season.

The Renton Reporter talked to a few food bank managers to see

how supplies are stacking up and got an earful. Most reported the same if not growing numbers of families signed up for their food programs this holiday season, as influenced still by a lack of government support due to cuts in assistance programs.

And all of the local food banks are in need of donations this year.

Renton Salvation ArmyThe Renton Salvation Army

has just one turkey so far for their Thanksgiving drive and 500 are needed for the families who have

already signed up to receive food baskets. They didn’t quite get the number of turkeys they needed last year and had to resort to small chickens and other meats to feed large families and are hoping that will not be the case again.

A lot of the managers blamed the cut in Supplemental Nutri-tion Assistance Program or SNAP benefits and food stamps for the rise in need in the community. It was the same situation last year, when an inventory was done of local food shelves.

“So they’re going to feel it, of

course, during the two holiday months,” said Beverly Storey, director of social services for the Salvation Army, Renton. “So, we’re anticipating that our num-bers will be up in November and December just because they’re cutting back on food stamps for those two months. It’s a budget issue.”

There are about 630 families signed up for the Renton Salva-tion Army’s Christmas baskets.

Not only are food donations low, the Salvation Army still needs 111 volunteers a day starting Nov.

17-Dec. 24 to man its red kettles for their bell-ringing fundraising campaign.

“Everything is tied in,” said Martha Barrett, Salvation Army community liaison. “The more volunteers we have, the less mon-ey we have to pay out. The more money we keep, the more turkeys we’re able to provide and the more people we’re able to provide for.”

Since the red kettle campaign is the organization’s big fundraiser, staff tries not to have to hire paid bell-ringers, so as to provide more

Shelves are bare as food banks prep for holiday seasonThe need is expected to be up this year due to cuts in federal aid

Supreme Court denies review of UW-Valley alliance

BY DEAN A. RADFORD

[email protected]

The strategic alliance between Val-ley Medical Center and UW Medicine is legal, determined at a cost so far of nearly $450,000 in taxpayer dollars.

The Washington Supreme Court decid-ed it will not review the lawsuit challeng-ing the strategic alliance between Valley Medical Center and UW Medicine, Valley Medical announced last week.

The decision comes after the state Court of Appeals in June affirmed the legality of the alliance, which began in July 2011 after months of legal review and community meetings and is designed to improve the public’s health.

The Supreme Court’s decision means the lower court’s ruling is final, according to a Valley Medical press release.

“For over three years now, our health care professionals have been working very well together to improve quality and safety

Why Choose Invisalign?Until recently, if you had crooked and misaligned teeth the only solution was traditional dental braces. A new technology in dentistry has been developed for people wanting a straighter smile without traditional braces. This dental breakthrough is the Invisalign system, and is a much more discreet and painless way to achieve a perfect smile.

It’s old faces in new roles at Renton’s casinos as Fred-die’s Club of Renton and Diamond Lil’s Casino are both under new manage-ment. Club Monaco bought out GSG Corporation and owns both entities.

But the new manage-ment isn’t exactly new to the scene. Club Monaco is a partnership between Cory Thompson and David Hill, both former employees of Freddie’s Club.

Both Thompson and Hill grew up in the Pacific Northwest and have gam-ing backgrounds that took them from here to Las Vegas.

Thompson started out as a casino manager with Freddie’s Club when it opened in Renton on 1997, after graduating from the University of Portland with a bachelor’s degree in busi-

ness. “Yeah, I always wanted

to own my own business,” said Thompson. “This is the business I ended up learn-ing about. I’d like to take a successful business and use the profits for philanthropy around the world.”

Hill has a philosophy degree from the University

of Washington and owned a successful gaming busi-ness in Las Vegas before he got his masters in busi-ness administration from the University of Chicago Graduate School of Busi-ness. Hill spent some time on Wall Street before he returned to Washington and joined Freddie’s Club

and Diamond Lil’s in July 2013.

Hill hadn’t thought about purchasing a casino until three years ago and eventu-ally decided on a partner-ship with Thompson.

“We looked at several places and ended up settling here because we thought we just had a great location and a great history,” said Hill. “So we thought this was the best opportunity.”

The two have more than 200 employees and the properties are busiest on Fridays and Saturdays. With the new management will come upgrades such as new carpets, wallpaper and some other physical chang-es. With food and beverage making up about 25 percent of their revenues, down from 40 percent, they have shifted the business to focus more on the gaming side of things.

“We’re always looking to have the games that the

players want to have,” said Thompson. “So if there’s something that comes down the line that’s really popular with the players, we’ll certainly have it.”

Both Hill and Thompson want to restore the casinos to the dominance in the area that they once had.

“I think we’re already on the path to restoring them to the presence they once were,” said Hill. “Diamond Lil’s was always the domi-nant non-tribal cardroom in the state of Washington and we will be there again.”

City leaders echo those same sentiments, looking back on a successful gaming past in Renton.

“Having operated suc-cessfully in Renton for many years, Freddie’s Club and Diamond Lil’s have made positive contribu-tions to our area economy,” said Cliff Long, via email, city economic development director.

Councilwoman Terri Briere dies after battle with illnessBY BRIAN BECKLEY

[email protected]

Councilmember Terri Briere, who served on the Renton City Council since 2000, died Nov. 9 in her home in Renton, following an extended illness. Briere’s fam-ily members informed officials of her passing.

Briere, 63, was first appointed to the council in 2000 and re-elected in 2002. Her current term was set to expire in 2017.

She served as the current chair of the Finance Committee and a member of the Planning and Development Committees and the Public Safety Committee.

Mayor Denis Law ordered all flags at city facilities to be low-ered to half-staff.

“Our city mourns the loss of Councilmember Terri Briere, a dedicated public servant with deep roots in this community. We owe Renton’s progress and success to the tireless work and dedication of Councilmem-ber Briere,” Law said in a press release. “She was a strong sup-porter of the Renton community and worked tirelessly on the city’s comprehensive plan. Council-member Briere will be deeply missed by her city council col-leagues, and our city’s residents,

business owners, key stakehold-ers and staff.”

Law called Briere’s death a “huge loss to the city” and called her a “tremendous leader,” prais-ing her “collaborative style” and citing her work in bringing The Landing, Seahawks, Federal Reserve Bank and other major investments to Renton.

“Terri led by example, vol-unteering her time and talents to many local organizations. She was very proud of her alma mater Renton High, and never missed an opportunity to pro-mote her school,” Law said. “Our hearts and prayers go out to the Briere family, who has suffered tremendous losses these past few months, including the death of

Terri’s husband Bill. “Terri was taken from all of us

far too soon,” he said.Briere was born and raised in

Renton. She and her husband Bill owned Briere and Associates Inc., a general contracting firm in Renton. She loved Renton’s ame-nities and its wonderful people.

Always an avid volunteer, she was active through the years with the Greater Renton Chamber of

Commerce, Friends of Renton High School, Renton Rotary, Renton Historical Society, PTA, and Children’s Home Society of Washington.

For these and other efforts, Briere was named an Outstand-ing Renton Citizen for 2003. She was also named Woman of the Year in 2011 by Renton Busi-ness and Professional Women’s Foundation.

“I have served with Terri for the past 14 years, and she was a trusted colleague and friend. Her passion for Renton and our citizens never diminished,” said Council President Don Persson.

Briere is survived by her children Bill Jr., William Scott (Billy) and Maureen and two grandchildren, Cole and Alison.

Services were pending mid-week.

Council will appoint replacement after application period

With news of Councilwoman Terri Briere’s death on Sunday, one of the questions that has arisen is how her replacement on the City Council will be chosen.

Under city policy, the council will select and appoint a new member by majority vote, based on applicants to the council of interested candidates.

Potential candidates for a council vacancy must be a regis-tered voter in the City of Renton and have residency within the city limits for at least one year prior to consideration.

The City Council on Monday, Nov. 17, will officially announce

the vacancy and request and encourage all interested and qualified persons to submit a letter of interest to the city clerk. Additional materials outlining a candidate’s interests and qualifi-cations may also be submitted.

A deadline for applicants will be determined by the Council and the position will be adver-tised.

Once the deadline for submis-sions passes, the council will meet and review the applicants in an open session. The council will have the choice of selecting a new member at the time or choose a slate of candidates to be inter-viewed at the following Commit-tee of the Whole meeting.

Should the council elect to interview candidates, each candi-date will have a formal interview

of up to 30 minutes in which they will be asked to present their credentials and respond to a slate of pre-determined questions approved by the council. Each candidate will have the same questions.

There will follow an informal question and answer period with the council.

The council will then vote on candidates until a nominee receives a majority of four votes.

The chosen candidate will begin serving at the next meeting and will serve on the council until the next general election, November 2015. If elected by the people at that time, the council-member will serve the remainder of Briere’s term and will have to run for re-election in 2017.

funds for the Salvation Army.

Emergency Feeding ProgramAt the Emergency Feeding Program donations are

also down. The program moved recently to The Land-ing and seasonal dips in resources aren’t that common. The program’s peak months are between February and April, when deliveries average 2,000 per month. Staff does experience occasional food shortages on specific items they use in multiple bags of their 15 different versions of food packs.

“My opinion is that the level of food insecurity has reached a level that has scared our local and national politicians which in turn moves them away from the issue,” said Glenn Turner, executive director of the program, via email. “Over the past year, government funds (SNAP) had been reduced to levels that will make for those affected by it very difficult to sustain their families, and it seems that businesses and large corporations (are) following suit. The gap continues to increase!”

St. Vincent de Paul at St. AnthonyStaff at the St. Vincent de Paul food bank at St.

Anthony echo the same sentiments. The center usually supplies about 65 bags of food a month, but in Octo-ber staff handed out 92 bags.

Right now, their shelves are pretty bare.“You know we have given more food out to families

for emergencies than we ever have,” said Lani Cavit, food bank manager.

For Thanksgiving, there is no special food program, just handing out food bags as usual. But, plans are already under way for their food and gift baskets. St. Vincent de Paul at St. Anthony already has a list of 100 families they have to supply with food and gifts. Last year they had 140 families in the end who received assistance.

“Last year there was an exceptional need and we had enough stuff,” said Cavit.

Donations come from food drives students at St. Anthony School supply and from parishioners of the church. Now staff at the food bank are seeing a lot of working poor come in for food as-sistance, said Cavit. These are people she guesses

got laid off last year, found new jobs, but aren’t able to fully support their families with their new jobs.

“I think the people in Renton are being served, but unfortunately there’s getting to be more and more of them,” said Cavit.

The King County Library System continues its search for its next director but has narrowed the field to three final candi-dates.

It was announced Monday in a press release that Nicolle Davies, Pam Sandlian Smith and Gary Wasdin all made it to the final round of interviews for KCLS director. The position opened in January for the second time in more than 50 years, when 25-year Director Bill Ptacek left to head a library in Al-berta, Canada.

The library system has been conducting a search since Febru-ary, with public meetings, focus groups and an online survey to gather public input about the key characteristics most important for the new director. The search has been nationwide and con-ducted by The Hawkins Company and June Garcia LLC.

The three candidates had these comments to make about their approach:

“Staff and library lovers know public libraries are essential in developing life-long learners and that our spaces are ideal for community to gather,” said Davies in the release. “The future for public libraries requires progressive thought regarding technol-ogy, space, collections and community partnerships.”

Davies is the executive director of the Arapahoe Library Dis-trict in Englewood, Colo.

“Learning is at the heart of our mission,” said Sandlian Smith. “Libraries have always been learning places. Now more than ever, they are becoming a place to interact with information, a place to fulfill one’s dreams and sense of curiosity.”

Sandlian Smith is the director of the Anythink Libraries in the Rangeview Library District of Thornton, Colo.

“At Omaha Public Library my priorities have been focused externally, building stronger relationships with elected officials, community and business leaders, and philanthropic founda-tions,” said Wasdin. “These relationships have enabled us to develop a vision and strategy that is intrinsically tied to our city and county.”

Wasdin is the executive director of the Omaha Public Library in Omaha, Neb.

A reception was being held on Thursday at the KCLS Service Center in Issaquah where the community had the chance to meet the candidates in an informal setting and provide written comments to the Board of Trustees for consider-ation.

KCLS narrows director replacement search to three candidates


Looks like the Grand Old Party got its groove back.

After this election, Republicans will hold a majority of seats in the state Senate for the first time since 2004 and boast their largest contingent in the state House in more than a decade.

“It was a good year to be a Republican,” understated Rep. J.T. Wilcox, R-Yelm.

The most stirring change is in the House, where the GOP is poised to pick up four seats and shrink Democrats’ numeric advan-tage to 51-47, its smallest margin since 2002.

Republican challengers are toppling four incumbent Democrats this cycle, three of whom are chairmen of House committees dealing with higher education and the fund-ing of public schools and social services.

Certainly, the party benefitted from the political wave which defined the midterms nationally. But success is also a product of an evolving political operation that’s helped the caucus add 10 seats since 2010 and move from the perch of irrelevance to the precipice of a majority.

“We’re the only Republican House in the country to gain seats in the last four election cycles,” said House Minority Leader Dan Kristiansen, R-Snohomish.

The caucus has done it by embracing a more disciplined and decentral-ized approach to election-eering since Kristiansen became the leader in early 2013.

As the year began, the political leadership of the

House Republican Organizational Commit-tee honed in on eight battleground races.

Two involved defending Republican seats — the one in Snohomish County’s 44th District that Republican Mike Hope vacated and the other in the 26th District, where appointed Rep. Jesse Young, R-Gig Harbor, sought to win a full term. The other six were held by Democrats in districts where Repub-licans have won in the past

GOP leaders recruited candidates, com-mitted resources to those campaigns and decided to not heavily fund Republicans in many other contests. In the past, the caucus spread its money into so many contests it wound up without enough resources to influence close ones late in an election.

On Nov. 4, the GOP held two seats, won four of the six it targeted and came within a percentage point of getting a fifth. Women accounted for three of the victories.

“I don’t think there was anything real smart in this. We played big where we could play,” Wilcox said.

Our retirement goneDear Mayor LawMy name is Roy Boyer. Bill Spiry, I and our

wives are new residents of the city of Renton and were part of the Alpine Nursery annexation this year. We have lived on our properties for over 70 combined years and have nurtured most of the trees that have grown there.

We have lived and worked in this area for all these years and now have reached a time of retirement. Unfortunately, we do not have a retirement nest egg or pension as some in the government do. The nursery and our property were to be our retirement funds. In fact Bill just closed the nursery expecting to have sold our properties. We were active in getting this an-nexed to the city this year and quite frankly with many regrets now.

We have now gone through our third builder, all three backing out of our original contracts, mainly due to the unanticipated costs associated with the changing city requirements for develop-ment.

The last builder, Quadrant Homes, just backed out because of a new shared driveway ordinance and the prospect of a change in the square foot per lot. These builders all spent thousands and thousands of dollars on feasibility studies.

And now even more constraining require-ments are being proposed. R4 (zoning) is cur-rently 8,000 square feet (minimum lot size). Our combined properties proposed to the city for development is 9.2 acres. A layman would think that 4 X 9.2 = 36 lots.

The reality is that after storm pond area, internal roads, tree retention, retaining walls, curbs and easements, Quadrant estimates only 23 lots now with other work at an expense that is prohibitive. Before all these new regulations, they were proposing 30, with the possibility of building homes to cover all the expenses.

And to be quite frank again, I can’t under-stand as a private property owner why I am pay-ing and have paid over these years, thousands of dollars in property taxes to pay salaries and fund pensions, and most of my freedoms and liberties

are gone to develop the property with a builder stripping away our retirement.Roy Boyer, Kim Boyer, Bill Spiry, Marilyn Spiry, Renton

Fight for wider I-405I just read Mayor Denis Law’s column in the

Renton Reporter and I wanted to make a few points that I hope you will agree, and most of all pressure our local legislators to act.

As you said in your column, traffic in Renton is terrible, it is so bad that Renton is “Behind the Curve” when it comes to traffic. I live in Ken-nydale and people cut though our neighborhood to avoid I-405.

On a daily basis the streets are full of cars on Lake Washington Boulevard. The best and only solution to this mess is to stick with the 2001 master plan, which states that I-405 from Renton to Bellevue should be widened by two lanes in each direction.

Even the 2008 EIS has already been complet-ed, which has two lanes added in each direc-tion. Only problem, is our legislators getting a transportation plan passed. The last proposed plan (last year) only had 1 toll/HOV lane being added in each direction. That is not acceptable, as that will force even more cars into our neigh-borhoods.

Our legislators are going to meet again this month and they will again attempt a transporta-tion package. I and others in my neighborhood have been calling them trying to put pressure for action.

You as the mayor need to stand up about this and tell our local legislators that we want two lanes each way added due to horrible traffic that is effecting our quality of life. Other mayors in Lacey, Lakewood and in JBLM are trying to lobby their local legislators for two lanes each way on I-5. (and they will probably get it) as they have had emergency meetings on their transpor-tation issues.

Renton needs to make is voice heard and do the same in regard to this matter. Enough is enough; widen our freeway!!Jeff Lykken, Renton

The Renton Highlands Library will host a “Mockingjay Movie Release Party” next Friday in anticipation of the second-to-last movie in the “Hunger Games” series.

The event is at 3:30 p.m., Nov. 21, at the High-lands Library, 2909 N.E. 12th St., Renton.

The “Hunger Games” book series is very popular with teens and the event is expected to

be well attended, according to Jennifer Wooten, teen services librarian.

“I think this series has been popular with teens because it hits many of the components that teens are generally looking for in a book: adventure, sur-vival, family drama, and romance,” said Wooten via email.

She called the pacing good, which gets right to the action, and is at-tractive to teens.

“I also think the fact that these books don’t sugarcoat death is a draw to a lot of teens who are very familiar with violence because of video

games, movies and TV,” Wooten said. “Many teen books do not go into the level of detail that these books do.”

The party will feature a trivia game that those who are up on the books will discover whether they are experts or not. Attendees will also play the game “Eat it! Avoid it,” which challenges them to identify plants and berries to see if they would starve, poison or nourish themselves with certain foliage. There is also a survival quiz of 10 questions designed to test your survival knowl-edge.

There will be crafts to make “Hunger Games” magnets, district banners and a “Hunger Games Generator” to find out attendees’ true names and districts. And finally, there will be face paint-ing to reflect Team Katniss, Team Gale or Team Peeta.

Prizes include gifts from Potbelly and Top Pot Donuts, books and pins from the “Hunger Games” series and movie tickets all donated from merchants, King County Library System staff and Friends of Renton Libraries.

Costumes are encouraged. For more informa-tion, call 425-277-1831.

Restructuring the political operation also contributed.While Kristiansen leads the caucus, he did not run

HROC. Rather, in this cycle, Wilcox and two veteran members, Reps. Bruce Chandler of Granger and Cary Condotta of East Wenatchee, divided the duties and shared the decision-making while staying in constant contact with Kristiansen.

And this go-round HROC did not exercise as much control in the way candidates ran campaigns.

In the past, the caucus political operatives hired consul-tants to manage several campaigns. This year candidates in battleground races chose their own consultants, who in turn interacted with HROC as desired.

Such changes increased trust among caucus members and with candidates and donors, Kristiansen said.

Wilcox had high praise for Kristiansen’s role in the cau-cus’ good fortunes.

“His biggest talent is he wants people to succeed,” Wilcox said. “We’re making progress. We are not the least bit satis-fied being a close minority.”

House Republicans are even thinking that in an election or two, they could hold a House majority again.

They haven’t been grooving like that since 1998.

County ‘Veterans Court’ exceeding expectations

King County Executive Dow Con-stantine congratulated King County District Court on the success of its Regional Veterans Court, which has far exceeded initial projections by serving 54 veterans after its first two years of operation.

“The best way we can honor the men and women who have served our

country is to ensure they have the op-portunity to succeed when they come home,” said Constantine in a press release. “I’m proud of our combined effort to provide military veterans with the individualized treatment they need to reestablish their civilian lives.”

Regional Veterans Court is a specialized track within King County District Court that connects veterans in the justice system to health and behavioral health treatment, housing, and other services they may need to re-stabilize their lives. The court helps

vets stay out of further involvement in the justice system, and reduces the use of jails and emergency services by veterans.

A team-based approach identifies the underlying issues that led to a veteran’s involvement in the justice system, and develops a personalized treatment plan. Participants receive behavioral health care and social services from the federal and state de-partments of Veteran Affairs, the King County Veterans Program, and other local providers of veterans services.

...Go Seahawks

BY JOHN BOYLE

[email protected]

As Marshawn Lynch approached the corner of the end zone,

just a couple yards from a score that would help cement an eventual blow-out victory, Giants cornerback Zack Bowman made what could politely be described as an unenthusiastic effort to keep the running back out of the end zone.

Bowman could have hit Lynch, though it’s highly unlikely that he would have done anything to prevent the 16-yard touchdown that was Lynch’s fourth score in Seattle’s 38-17 win.

Lynch’s friend and former teammate Michael Robinson wrote on Twit-ter that Bowman “Made a business decision,” and it was a decision we’ve seen plenty of defensive backs make over the years when it comes to get-ting between Lynch and his desired destination.

Sunday’s 140-yard, four-touchdown game, which was part of a team-record 350 rushing yards, was just the latest impressive effort from Lynch, who at 28 is showing no signs of slow-ing down. If anything, Lynch showed again against the Giants that he might be playing the best football of his career at an age when most running backs are slowing down. And on a

day when quarterback Russell Wilson struggled, throwing two interceptions, Lynch also showed he is just as impor-tant to Seattle’s offense as ever.

“He’s our backbone, man,” said guard Alvin Bailey. “We know day in, day out that we can hand him the ball and each time he gets it, he’s only going to get better. He’s our backbone, man. I couldn’t imagine our offense without the way he runs the ball, because that’s our attitude. That’s what we all feed off of.”

Lynch was not available to com-ment after the game, having left the locker room before it opened to the media. But any teammate who was asked about him had the same opin-

ion of the running back who has been the driving force of Seattle’s offense since coming here in a 2010 trade: he’s as good if not better than ever, and he’s as valuable to the offense as ever.

“Each year he’s gotten better since I’ve been here, so that’s been pretty amazing to see,” said fellow running back Robert Turbin. “To me he’s the best running back in the NFL.”

Seahawks head coach Pete Car-roll has repeatedly said this year that Lynch looks the best he has since coming to Seattle. And left tackle Rus-sell Okung says even now that Lynch isn’t done improving: “There’s a lot more in him. I’m excited to see where

Marshawn Lynch not slowing down140-yard, four-touchdown game shows that Beast Mode is not showing his age

At age 28, Seahawks running back Marshawn Luynch shows no signs of slowing down. GENNA MARTIN, Everett Herald

Joe LambertMarch 18, 1920 – October 30, 2014

Joe was born in El Paso Texas to Aaron and Texana Lambert. He spent most of his youth there, attending Texas College of Mines and Metallurgy prior to departing for California in 1939 to work for Douglas Aircraft.

After a brief subsequent stint in the army he relocated with his new wife, Margaret Irene (Christensen), to Renton

to begin a 39 year career at Boeing where he worked as a � ight control engineer on all but one of Boeing’s commercial planes from the B-29 through the 777.

Both he and Irene lived in the house they built on Renton’s Benson Hill from 1950 until their passing (Irene in 2010).

He is survived by his three daughters, all in the Puget Sound area; Jeanette (Ralph) Teague, Sue Miller, and Cathy Lambert (Alan Nakano), and by his 5 grandsons, Larry Teague, Raif Moon, James Moon, Matt Miller, and Joe Miller and their families, including 6 great grandchildren.

The family wishes to express appreciation to the caregivers from With a Little Help who supported Joe’s successful e� orts to remain at home during his � nal years.

A celebration of Joe’s life will be held at noon on Sunday, December 7, at the Maplewood Golf Course.

we’re going to go in the future with him.”Even receivers, who in theory should want fewer handoffs

to Lynch and more passes thrown their way, know that the Se-ahawks are at their best when Lynch is involved and productive.

“Marshawn Lynch is our engine,” receiver Doug Baldwin said. “Everything runs through him.

“Man, he is unbelievable. Unbelievable, man. Any time he touches the ball, something magical happens, and he did it again today.”

There have been reports this season about a disconnect between Lynch and his coaches, and it has long been speculated that he may not see the final year of his contract for salary cap reasons. But Sunday’s game, and really the first nine games this season, both when Lynch has been heavily involved in the offense and just as significantly when he hasn’t, show that he is very much still the Seahawks’ present, regardless of what the future holds. Lynch’s uncertain future his no secret to him or his teammates — it was the main reason he held out at the start of training camp looking for more money this season, and his teammates openly talk about it.

“(Running back Christine Michael) and I understand the situation coming up at the end of the year — pretty sure you guys will be talking about that — it’ll be a huge deal, so we’re definitely continuing to work hard and take our opportunities in a game when they come to show (general manager John Schnei-der) and Pete (Carroll) that we can get it done too,” Turbin said.

But even though Lynch represents an $8.5 million salary cap hit, and even though he’ll be a 29-year-old running back with a ton of physical carries on his resume, and even though the Seahawks need to find money to pay some of their young play-ers headed towards second contracts, most notably Wilson, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to envision this offense without Lynch in 2015. Or at least to envision this offense functioning at a high level without him.

And it isn’t just that Lynch is so hard to tackle. Or that he’s deceptively fast and nimble. Or that he’s an underrated pass catcher that makes him so important to the Seahawks. It’s also the identity he helps bring to Seattle’s offense.

“Marshawn’s one of my favorite people of all time,” center Max Unger said. “Just the way he does it on the field. It’s amaz-ing. We want to just claw and fight for every yard he gets.

“Him pulling the pile and just fighting for yards every time he gets the ball, that’s huge. It’s really just amazing. He’s a freak. Beast mode.”

of care, control and reduce costs, and improve access to care for citizens of South King County,” said Paul Ramsey, CEO of UW Medicine in a statement to staff.

Dr. Paul Joos, the board’s presi-dent, and attorney Phil Talmadge, who was hired by the hospital district commission for its appeals to the Supreme Court, couldn’t be reached for comment.

The legal challenge to the strategic alliance began two years ago, when hospital commissioners sought to have a King County Superior Court judge invalidate the strategic alli-ance.

So far, the hospital district has spent $193,614.91 in legal costs to bring the lawsuit, according to Valley Medical Center. Those costs include:

• Talmadge Fitzpatrick, legal fees, $83,093.67

• Martin J. Durkan, lobbyist, $55,346.30

• Commissioner stipends, meet-ings involving the UW strategic alliance, $11,918

• Kenyon Disend, general counsel, $22,143

• Carney Badley Spellman, appeal consultation, $21,113.94.

So far, UW Medicine has spent $255,475 to defend against the lawsuit, which includes costs for meeting with clients, research, pre-paring legal briefs and court filings, according to Lori Oliver, director of Legal and Business Affairs for UW Medicine.

The costs do not include the staff time of UW employees.

Together the costs total $449,089.91.

The hospital district’s lawsuit was initially appealed to the state Supreme Court after a King County Superior Court judge in Decem-

ber 2012 said state law allows local governmental organizations to enter into such agreements as a strategic alliance.

Any disagreements about the laws, he said at the time, should be raised with the state Legislature. He alluded to the possibility of an appeal

The hospital district appealed the Superior Court ruling to the state’s highest court, which remanded the appeal to the state Court of Appeals. The lower court determined the alli-ance was legal.

In an interview with the Renton Reporter in June, Talmadge said he believes the courts did not fully understand the scope of the strategic alliance and its effect on the ability of the elected commissioners to run the district in a way that represents the will of the voters.

A 13-member Board of Trustees

– eight of whom are appointed – oversees the operations and budget of Valley Medical Center. The five elected hospital district commis-sioners are responsible for the public side of the medical center, such as levying taxes, but they also serve as trustees.

Hospital district commission-ers approved forming the strategic alliance with UW Medicine on a 3-2 vote in May 2011. When Joos was elected to the commission, the board majority and policy direction changed.

The new majority included Joos, Dr. Aaron Heide and Anthony Hemstad, who has since resigned as a commissioner.

The commission voted 3-2 Oct. 1, 2012, on a resolution that authorized commissioner Joos “to initiate litiga-tion, if necessary,” to determine the validity of the year-old alliance.

N Lindbergh’s Fessenhatzion earns spot on podiumBY BRIAN BECKLEY

[email protected]

Lindbergh sophomore Feven Fessenhatzion led all local runners with an eighth-place finish at this past weekend’s Cross-Country State Meet in Pasco.

Fessenhatzion finished the 3.1-mile course in a personal best 19 minutes, 22.48 seconds to earn a spot as the only Renton-area runner on the meet’s po-dium.

Both Lindbergh and Renton sent boys and girls teams to Saturday’s 2A state meet. The Lindbergh boys finished fifth and Renton placed 11th out of 16 teams in the competition. Lindbergh sophomore Daniel Langer was the top finisher for the Eagles at 20th. Hameed Maktoof finished in 26th as the highest-placing Indian runner.

On the girls side, Lindbergh came in 10th and Renton 14th out of 16 teams. Fessenhaven was the Eagles’ top finisher, while senior Tyra Beckman led the way for Renton with a 14th-place finish.

In 3A competition, Hazen sent its boys team, which finished 15th out of 16 teams. Dario Cirlincione was the top finisher for the Highlanders in 52nd place.

The Renton and Lindbergh football seasons both came to an end last weekend, as both teams lost their playoff games.

Lindbergh, the top 2A seed from the Seamount fell to Orting 17-14 Friday night at Renton Memorial Stadium on a fourth-quarter field goal. The Eagles finish the season 6-4 overall and 5-1 in the Seamount.

Orting jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, but Lindbergh battled back to close the gap to 14-7 headed into halftime.

In the third quarter, Lindbergh scored again to tie it up as the teams prepared for the final frame.

But a field goal early in the fourth proved to be the game winner for Orting, who advance to the state tournament.

D’Angelo Faust led the way for the Eagles with his third consecutive 200-yard game.

“Don’t know what to say about the season,” said Lindbergh coach Matt Leamer in an email. “We are proud that we were the 1 seed for the 6th straight year and that the city championship remained with us.”

Renton, who crushed Sammamish on Tuesday to earn a game on Sat-urday, fell to North Kitsap 21-6 at North Kitsap High School. The Indians finished the year 6-5 overall and 3-3 in the Seamount.

The Hazen Highlanders also played their final game of the season on Saturday, a non-playoff game against Franklin. The Highlanders cruised to a 56-0 victory to finish out their season at 4-6 overall and 3-3 in the Seamount League.

Renton, Lindbergh football both lose in opening round

BY BRIAN BECKLEY

[email protected]

The Renton Indians soccer team is moving on to the next round of the playoffs after beating cross-town rival Lindbergh 2-0 Saturday at Renton Memorial Stadium.

Renton, the 2A District 2/3 No. 6 seed, got two goals from junior midfielder Asia Brisco, one in each half, to earn the third spot coming out of the district tournament.

Brisco’s first goal came in the first half off an assist by Sydney Sept. Her second goal, in the second half, came off an assist by Olivia Carter.

Lindbergh’s season is now over. They finished the year 8-7-3 overall and 5-1-1 in the Seamount.

With the win, Renton improves to 11-6-0 overall and 4-3-0 in the Seamount and earns the right to keep playing.

Renton played Burlington-Edison Wednesday at Renton Memorial Stadium. The winner will move on to the state tournament quarterfinals. The game happened too late for this edition of the paper, but check www.rentonreporter.com for scores and highlights.

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

It all started at about 6:20 a.m. Oct. 25 as

a Renton man was getting ready to drive the 300 miles to Pullman to watch WSU play Arizona.

A shadowy figure grabbed a 19-inch TV from his car he had only left unattended for two minutes. His wife caught a brief glimpse of the thief.

The next night, at about 9:30 p.m., he flagged down a Renton Police officer to tell him his story of a visit to see his son in “college” at Washington State “University.”

He was planning on traveling to the bar-ren confines of Pullman on the same fateful day of WSU’s poor football team would lose yet again in an embarrassingly poor perfor-mance against the University of Arizona. The loss further illustrated the futile efforts

to establish any respect-ability whatsoever in the Pac 12 Conference.

He had tried to find the suspect before he left; however, much like WSU’s defense, the suspect was nowhere to be found.

The officer gave him a case number and asked him to call police if he finds out anything about the miss-ing television or the whereabouts of WSU football’s pride.

As with all Renton Police Department reports, this one ends with:

“I certify (declare) under the penalty of perjury under the laws of the state of Washington that the foregoing is true and correct.”

Shoplifter makes getaway: The male in his late teens dressed in a Seahawks jersey walked out of Target at The Landing Oct. 23, pushing a cart carrying a Philips speaker system he didn’t pay for.

It didn’t take too long before he returned, this time wearing a black windbreaker over

the Seahawks jersey.A store security officer recognized him as

the man who earlier shoplifted the speaker system, which was caught on security tape.

The officer kept an eye on him. He walked into a back storage room, where he grabbed a 50-inch TV and placed it in a shopping cart near the storage-room door.

He left the store without paying for the TV but was stopped by the security officer. He pushed the officer and ran to a waiting car.

No sales to minor: A store clerk is facing a citation because he refused to provide the identity of a minor who was asking people to buy him liquor inside the minimart on Oct. 28.

A Renton man who had refused to buy him liquor called 911; the minor ran as soon as an officer arrived at the mini-mart on Northeast Third Street.

The clerk told the officer the minor is a frequent customer. He knows his name but doesn’t want him trespassed because he buys things.

The officer told the clerk the store’s liquor license would be at jeopardy if he didn’t cooperate. He didn’t care because he didn’t want to get the minor in trouble.

An enforcement officer with the state Liquor Control Board is interested in the case. Anyone who handles or distributes liquor is held to higher standards and is re-quired to cooperate with law enforcement.

The case report was sent to Renton prosecutors.
