Ballots are headed to voters this week for the Nov. 5 general elec-tion and in Renton the candidates for City Council are going into the home stretch.

In the battle for the seat left open by Councilman Rich Zwicker’s decision not to run for re-election, local businessman Armondo Pavone and community activist Stuart Avery are squaring off to take his place on the dais.

Pavone, 51, lives in the Renton Hill neighborhood with his wife Angela and two boys, Roman, 5, and Dominic, 3. He is a Renton High School and Shoreline Com-munity College graduate and

restaurateur who is the past presi-dent of the Downtown Renton Association and current member of the Renton Hill Associa-tion, Renton Blue Ribbon Panel, Renton Rotary and Chamber of Commerce.

Avery, 52, lives in the Windsor Hills neighborhood with his wife Shannon and two sons, Forrest, 18, and Garrett, 13. Avery is a graduate of Lake Washington High School and studied creative writing at Bellevue Community College and mechanical drawing at Lake Washington Technical College. He is vice president of operations at MIE Corporation and is perhaps best known as a former leader of the group that led the petition drive to place a

vote on the downtown library lo-cation on the 2012 ballot. He also volunteers with Renton’s Commu-nity Supper and was recognized as New Life Church’s Volunteer of the Year 2012.

The Renton Reporter submit-

ted the same set of questions to each candidate. Their answers are printed here. Answers may be edited for space and style, but the content was not changed.

Avery’s answers are presented first because his name is first

The gateway to autumn

While in the past a police cruiser parked in a school may have been a sign of an emergency, changes in police procedure involving schools mean that may no longer be the case.

“If you see a lot of cop cars out at a school, don’t be alarmed,” said Commander Chad Karlewicz. “It’s by de-sign.”

The Renton Police Department this year has started an “adopt-a-school” program that encourages its officers to routinely stop at schools along their beats, going so far as to encourage them to sit in the lots while they handle paperwork.

“If they have downtime or are working on paperwork from other calls, we’re asking them to work on it at a school lot,” Karlewicz said.

The change is due to a loss in grant funding that resulted in the department losing money for its three school re-

Two Renton City Council seats are up for grabs in the Nov. 5 general election, including one with no incumbent.

Stuart Avery and Armondo Pavone are running for the seat held by Rich Zwicker, who decided not to seek re-election for Position 2.

Beth Asher is challenging incumbent Terri

Briere for Position 6. Briere was appointed to the council in 2000 and won election in 2002.

The Renton Reporter has asked each candidate to respond to questions about their races. Today, we’re publishing the responses from Avery and Pavone.

Ballots were mailed Wednesday and should arrive in Renton mailboxes this weekend, at the latest. Contact the King County Elections Division, 206-296-8683, if you don’t receive a ballot in the next few days.

I love Halloween.When I was a kid Halloween

was the only thing that made then end of summer and going back to school tolerable.

As the leaves were busy turning yellow, red and brown, my sister and I were raiding Mom’s closet and makeup drawer for inspira-tion.

A zombie punk rocker? A Mummy was a possibil-

ity. After all I did have that Ace bandage from when I sprained my ankle.

Halloween is the quintes-sential equal-izer: with a little creativity everyone can

play.I loved movie night at our

house, the anticipation of a Satur-day night, mid-month when one of the three main channels would feature the Charlie Brown Special, “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!”

My love of Halloween has not wavered.

Just the other day, I was nearly as giddy as my 3-year-old. He was busy hopping around the puddles at Carpinito Brothers pumpkin patch and I was still searching for the “most sincere pumpkin,” a chubby round guy with a two-inch stem and smooth sides. I’m a traditionalist when it comes to carving my pumpkin, triangle eyes, nose and a zigzagged grin-ning mouth.

Later that evening we carved our pumpkins, festooned our doorstep with spider webs and witches, then stripped kernels off Indian corn filling the house with popped corn smell coated in real butter as we watched, Roald Dahl’s “Witches.”

When I was a kid everyone

wore their costumes to school, guaranteeing that no real school work would be done. End-less rounds of Heads Up Seven Up, arts and crafts, a costume contest and – best of all – the Halloween party, when moms paraded in with two-liter bottles of 7Up, sherbet ice cream and Tupperware containing the most wondrous chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with perfectly dolloped orange frosting and dotted with bats and spiders.

After school we twiddled our thumbs by the window, waiting for that sweet reddish hued dusk on the horizon – the universal signal for Go Time!

Kids took to the streets in packs. I can still feel my gloriously stuffed pillowcase swung over my shoulder, feeling as free as a Depression-era hobo riding the rails, sweating despite the chilly fall air that’s always tinged with that slightly smoky smell.

My sister and I trolled the neighborhood leaving no stone unturned, our battle cry was the simple door bell ring and “trick or treat!”

These days I try to recreate this feeling of freedom for my kids, despite the fact that more often than not schools don’t let you wear costumes and some don’t even let you bring treats to school.

But really, at the end of the day, all you need is a costume story, “I’m a lumber jack (pause) ummm, who got bit by a zombie. I have two minutes before I turn.”

AND a good neighborhood. I forgot how important a part

your neighborhood plays in a successful Halloween when we moved out to east Renton. It’s wil-derness country compared to our old neighborhood, Renton Hill.

Our first Halloween at our new house I quickly realized how street lights (it was literally pitch black) and sidewalks (I nearly

broke my ankle in a ditch) are es-sential to the whole experience.

That and other kids, of course! Our new neighborhood had so few kids that one house visited hadn’t seen a trick-or-treater in more than 10 years. She was so excited she rushed back into her house, returning with handfuls of sunflower seeds that she dropped into the kids pillowcases.

I have to admit that Halloween was a dud.

Now, we just go back to our old neighborhood on Renton Hill and it’s like we never left: Same guy on the corner still giving out full-sized candy bars.

The other day I read a headline; it said something along the lines of, “Will you let your kids actually eat their Halloween candy?”

Can it actually be true that par-

ents are considering NOT letting their kids eat their candy?

What fresh nonsense is this?One of the best feelings for a

kid, or at least this one, was in spite of being dead dog tired, laying out my booty at the end of the night in an unbelievable circle on the living room floor, a kids version of being a millionaire for one night.

I’m not going to fib, that candy was sweet. And, after trading with my sis late into the night (she was partial to peanut butter cups and I adored Snickers), we savored those treats for weeks to come.

But even sweeter than a pile of Halloween candy were the memories created back then and in a different way today with my own kids; making memories to last a lifetime.

So, if you love Halloween as much as I do, add to my list! Share a story, or an awesome trick or treating neighborhood in Renton or a fun place to visit at www.rentonreporter.com and add to my list of fun things to do for families. I’d love to hear about it!

The Renton community lost one of its most prominent and involved citizens this past week when Suzanne Thomp-son died Oct. 9. She was 70 years old.

Thompson was a community mainstay who worked at McLendon’s Hardware for 40 years and enjoyed playing the Christmas elf during the holidays.

She was also heavily involved in Renton events.Thompson was very ac-

tive in the Renton commu-nity and served on Renton River Days board, the Chamber of Commerce, the Piazza and Farmers Market board, the Soroptimist Club and School District Advi-sory Committees. She was also proud to be nominated for Renton Citizen of the Year.

Suzanne Marie Sauve was born on Sept. 8, 1943, to Irvin J. Sauve and Wilma S. Geroux of Moxee, Wash. She was the second of six children and attended Holy Rosary Grade School, Cen-tral Catholic High School and Yakima Valley College.

She married David Thompson of Renton on Oct. 5, 1968, and the couple lived in Bellevue.

Thompson is survived by her devoted husband David

Thompson of Bellevue; her son, Joshua Thompson; two granddaughters Cyrenna and Morgan and their mother Dori; and five siblings, Joseph Sauve (Selma) of Sequim, Cheryl Kumma (Richard) of Kirkland, Janice Kelly (Rob-ert) of Bothell, Thomas Sauve (Melissa) of Yakima and Stephen Sauve (Nancy) of Yakima; 13 nieces and nephews and 13 great-nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents. Thompson loved to travel and experienced many won-

derful trips with her husband to Australia, New Zealand, China, Hawaii, Alaska, Mexico, the Caribbean and Europe. She also cherished the memory of her trip to the Vatican with her mother.

Friends remember Thompson’s home as a delightful gathering place for friends and family.

Her loss will also be felt through the city and especially at the events at which she volunteered.

“We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Su-zanne Thompson. Suzanne was a trailblazer whose positive influence impacted our community and whose capable, dignified leadership will never be forgotten,” said Renton Mayor Denis Law in a statement. “She was an incredibly caring and thoughtful woman who touched the lives of many.

“Suzanne has left a profound legacy for the city of Rent-on and far beyond. The impact of her life and achievements will live on in our memories,” he continued. “She will be truly missed, and her memory honored and cherished by all for many decades to come.”

Renton Reporter Publisher Ellen Morrison said city events would not be the same without Thompson’s pres-ence.

“She was always everywhere,” Morrison said. “It is hard for me to wrap my head around Suzanne

Thompson being anything but full of life,” she added. “She always looked like a burst of sunshine, with a smile on her face and a glow in her eyes. In fact I don’t think Suzanne needed a costume to look like Santa’s helper; that was just her, helping others while having rosy cheeks and a smile.”

The City Council also held a moment of silence in honor of her passing.

A celebration of Thompson’s life is scheduled for 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday at the Renton Pavilion Event Center, 233 Burnett Ave. S. Committal service will be in Holy Rosary Cemetery, Moxee, Wash.

Memorials may be sent to Soroptimist of Renton; Renton Clothing Bank, Renton Salvation Army, Friends of Renton School District, Overlake Hospital or a charity of your choice.

source officer positions. So this year, instead of desig-nated SROs being assigned to the beat, the department is simply telling patrol offi-cers to spend some of their day at a school.

“Because of funding is-sues, that program has gone away,” Karlewicz said of the resource officers.

The idea now is for police to be visible and be seen at school, even when there is nothing wrong. The officers are expected to meet and get to know the school ad-ministrators, that way when they have to respond to a call at a school, they will be on a first-name basis.

Karlewicz said during the SRO program, the three officers were assigned to the district’s three high schools, which meant the elemen-tary and middle schools weren’t seeing police unless something went wrong.

This year, while the pres-ence at the high schools has dropped, Karlewicz said the other buildings are seeing “infinitely more” service.

“We’re stopping in,” he said, adding that several of-

ficers are helping lockdown drills and other goings-on at the school. “It’s a conscious, concerted effort to spend more time at the schools.”

At St. Anthony’s in downtown Renton, the school hosted an assembly on Monday to introduce its officer to the students. Principal Michael Cantu said the new program is great from his perspective, because now his building has a police presence where before it did not.

“As a principal I love it and just his presence is calming,” Cantu said. “It’s a good feeling to have him coming by.”

Cantu said the kids also enjoy seeing the police.

“They responded real well to him,” Cantu said, adding that he has a “nice approach to kids.”

Karlewicz said the response to the program overall has been positive

from the schools.“It’s been met with great

joy,” he said.

for a full day’s pay.

ahead of forecasts, we have a long way to go before we are again fully funding public safety, transportation and community services without adding more taxes or fees. B.) Our current unsustainable appetite for annexing additional communities. Are we adding financial risk, while failing to sup-port existing economically depressed areas in our city?

PAVONE: Continued funding of vital city services and economic revitalization of the downtown core.

2. How will you work to solve them?AVERY: Budgeting is the toughest task, but

it can be done. Our family raised ourselves out of years of living in debt and credit dependency. We learned to live a life we could afford and not the one we thought we should afford. I will work hard to be a part of budgeting decisions that preserve health and human services, public safety and infrastructure. New revenues should not be dependent on additional taxes but rather more people and employers paying existing taxes. That means attracting more employ-ers, and more residents of all income levels who seek good homes and safe neighbor-hoods within our current boundaries. Expanding boundaries increases revenues, but not without similar high costs, leaving us weak in the face of eventual economic downturns.

PAVONE: In order to continue funding of vital city services, I believe we need to work closely with administration and council members to continue budget practices that

look toward the future. To revitalize down-town in an proactive and integrated man-ner, we will need to work with the Commu-nity Economic Development Department and the community at large to develop an integrated Downtown Redevelopment Plan that will serve as the “road map” for down-town revitalization efforts. This cooperative effort will address the need for a more vital downtown district through a combination of business development activities and physical improvements to maximize down-town’s unique assets. The key to the success of this plan will be to create classic public/private partnerships that continuously and systematically improve every aspect of the downtown from its land uses to its infrastructure to its image. The outcome would create an active pedestrian-friendly environment that includes a range of resi-dential, retail, service and dining options.

3. Why do you want to be on the council?AVERY: I want to be on the council

because Renton residents have asked me to run. Change is needed. Status quo isn’t working anymore. Renton needs a fresh breath of reason and humility on the coun-cil. To put it simply, we need more “Cow-bell.” Humor aside, I want to serve and be part of Renton’s future.

PAVONE: I have lived in the Renton community my entire life. My family has been here for generations and my father retired after a career with the Renton Police Department. I have owned and operated businesses in the downtown core for the past 30 years. Over the years, Renton has

been extremely good to my family and me. My wife and I are raising two young boys in this community and we have a vested interest in the future of our city. We have watched as Renton has evolved into a very desirable city that is safe, progres-sive and provides residents with quality parks, schools and other family amenities. I believe our community has a bright future and I look forward to representing the interests of our citizens as a member of the City Council.

4. What do you believe is the role of the City Council member (please share a little of your philosophy of governance)?

AVERY: The role is to represent Renton residents in policy decisions, taking into ac-count both the objectives of the city admin-istration and the needs and desires of the community when moving on any issues. Council members need to be engaged and seeking input. Listening is the key. Finding sensible common ground is the objective. I appreciate strong conflicting points of view. I enjoy an environment where ideas and perspectives can be challenged, respected and considered.

PAVONE: City Council members are

elected by the citizens of Renton. The coun-cil should be dedicated to protecting the interests of those citizens. The council is the legislative forum for the city. The council discusses and may adopt ordinances of all kind relating to municipal affairs. The council also has the authority over the city’s powers of taxation. I believe the most important duty of a council member is to represent the citizens of their community including city employees and local busi-nesses.

5. What are your top budget priorities?AVERY: Our budget must be crafted to

overcome cyclical economic downturns, and become less dependent on state and federal grants to fully fund some criti-cal services. I want to see the police able to once again send officers back into our schools to mentor and build positive relationships with students. I want to see more of our decommissioned parks build-ings utilized for the communities good. These programs pay for themselves in the most valuable way, human success. I’m concerned about debt spending. I want to see a budget neither lean on public safety nor weak on maintaining infrastructure. Strong enough to assure the most vulner-able are not forsaken. Your tax dollars are hard-earned. They shouldn’t be spent with any less regard. Strong budgets come from sensible spending and sound stewardship.

PAVONE: Fire/police emergency services; infrastructure maintenance and essential services; parks and recreation

6. Perhaps the biggest issue the council has dealt with in the past two years has been the library annexation and rebuilds. What are your thoughts on this process and would you support de-annexa-tion if the issue arose?

AVERY: That’s a loaded question. The 76.4 percent vote for the Cedar River library location was an affirmation that all the sacrifices made by many were indeed merited. But the effort should never have been necessary, and had the administration and council done a better job, it wouldn’t have been. I would not consider de-annexation moving forward. KCLS brings a lot of good things to the table and to unwind it would lead to another avoidable disaster. I believe Renton lost as much as it gained from annexation. It was a poorly and hastily written deal, which left us holding the financial bag for far more than it ever should have. The eventual silver lining? We will have two beautiful new libraries at the best possible loca-tions and people in Renton are now paying attention to what’s happening at City Hall.

PAVONE: As a child I remember visiting the Cedar River Library and

have wonderful memories. My family frequents this library on a weekly basis and we are excited to have a wonderful new facility over the river. In terms of the process, I truly believe all city projects should be completely open and inclusive and I would not support de-annexation.

7. If money were no object, what would be at the top of your wish list for the city?

AVERY: I would like to see the Renton’s Arts and Cul-ture master plan expanded and fully funded. With that in mind, a significant rede-velopment of the down-town core into a walkable, working and living commu-nity for all ages, all income levels, and all cultures.

PAVONE: If money was no object, I would like to see the revitalization in three of Renton’s core neighborhoods: The Renton Highlands, downtown and Cascade.

8. You and your opponent both obviously care very much for the city. Why should voters choose you over your opponent?

AVERY: Yes, we both care very much about Renton. It’s really about leadership. We need council members on the ground engaged in action and involved. It’s not about who you are or

whom you know, it’s about what you’re doing and the efforts you’re willing to put into making a difference. I believe it takes a servant’s heart and a results-oriented mind to be a good leader. I have demonstrated both through my own, and my family’s involvements in Renton over the past years.

PAVONE: I have been involved and serving the community for the past 30 years. As a business owner, I have collaborated with management teams, created budgets and understand fiscal responsibility. I am a creative problem solver that looks for solutions, not blame.

9. Finally, what is the cur-rent council and administra-tion doing right?

AVERY: Renton is the best city bar none. That says a lot about past and cur-rent city leadership. There are far more right things happening than wrong. We have much to be thankful for and proud of because

of our past and present leaders. Renton is full of amazing people; many of them work for the city and serve the people of the city. I can only see it getting bet-ter and hope to be an active part of it.

PAVONE: The city has per-formed well during a very devastating economic time and still the city continues to provide quality service. I believe the council and ad-ministration have worked well together to protect the interests of Renton citizens.

Hours into the partial unplugging of federal government, HappyClam was anything but joy-ous about the feat of the nation’s elected leaders.

“Our government has become an embar-rassment,” the creatively named one wrote in an online comment on HeraldNet.com. “Just remember all the morons causing the problems so they can be removed from office swiftly.”

Such disgust has since become measurable throughout the country. In an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll conducted last week, six out of 10 people said they would vote to replace every member of Congress, including their own, if they could do so.

They can’t, and if history is any indication, they won’t when the opportunity arises in the

2014 elections.Right now, 375 of the 435

House of Representative seats up for election next year are rated as “safe” for one party or the other by political science professor Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia’s Center for the Study of Politics.

And only eight are tabbed as “toss up” by Sabato in his well-respected “Crystal Ball,” which tracks competition in federal contests.

While Americans dislike Congress and have a tradition of saying they want to “kick the bums out,” it never happens, said Kyle Kondik, manag-ing editor of Sabato’s Crystal Ball.

Most of the “bums” will get re-elected without much of a fight.

Washington is no exception. All 10 House seats are deemed safe for the incumbent and, as of today, none of the office-holders even faces an opponent.

Leaders of the state’s Republican and Demo-cratic parties insist there’s plenty of time to recruit candidates who can mount viable chal-lenges. They reflexively reject the suggestion their party is already conceding seats to the other’s incumbents.

“As soon as the election is finished Nov. 5, that’s when we survey the landscape,” said Susan Hutchison, the state GOP’s newly minted chair-woman. “Voters have a short attention span. They are not thinking about 2014 yet. Even the Democrats want to wait until the 2013 cycle is over.”

If there is to be a battleground, it would most likely be in Washington’s 1st Congressional Dis-trict, which stretches south from the Canadian border to Kirkland. It encompasses communities and farms in Snohomish, Whatcom, Skagit and King counties.

The state’s Redistricting Commission designed it to include as equal a number of Republican and Democratic voters as possible. Commission-ers envisioned this district, more than any other, to be where the two parties could send their best gladiators to duel every two years.

But rookie Democratic Congresswoman Su-zan DelBene of Medina looks as comfortable an incumbent in that seat today as Democrat Rep. Jim McDermott in Seattle and Republican Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers in Spokane.

Hutchison said she’s talking with a “couple very strong candidates” who

won’t decide until after the November election.Meanwhile, DelBene is solidifying her posi-

tion.She’s raised several hundred thousand dollars

and is presumed able to self-finance in a pinch, if needed; she did en route to winning the seat in 2012.

Her voting record may not be much of a target. In the shutdown, she’s voted with the Re-publican majority in the House to reopen federal agencies, sealing off one potential line of attack. Her high-level involvement in writing a new federal farm bill is a resume booster, too.

And one other sign of her strength — the National Republican Congressional Committee

isn’t devoting much attention to her.“National Republicans last cycle never felt like

it was a good district for them,” Kondik said. “If that’s the way they felt about it last time, why would they feel any differently (now).”

If there isn’t a good tussle in this district in 2014, there’s unlikely to be any worth noting elsewhere in the state.

That probably won’t put HappyClam, and a whole lot of others, in a mood to smile.

Asher, Avery to provide city with fresh ideas

Renton has two new candidates seeking City Council positions: Beth Asher and Stuart Avery. Both will bring innovative perspectives to council if elected Nov. 5.

Renton has experienced significant eco-nomic and demographical growth in recent years. We’ve emerged as one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the region, with a population of 51 percent people of color, and a poverty rate increase of 89 percent within the last decade. We have complex and differ-ent challenges today that require fresh ideas, new solutions and a creative approach.

Toward achieving this aim we need leader-ship and a public process that’s open, trans-parent, that promotes community involve-ment which fosters trust and rapport among its members as we build a thriving commu-nity with shared prosperity and equity for all Renton residents.

Beth and Stuart “understand this!” They’ve successfully demonstrated leadership and

commitment to the community as volunteers with others to keep the Cedar River Library at its current location.

Beth is a smart, passionate, creative, ener-getic leader who’s exceptional at researching, organizing and working collaboratively with others. She is a wonderful listener and learner. With integrity, Beth keeps the best interest of Renton residents at heart. She’s a courageous advocate who will stand up during difficult times for what’s right for Renton residents.

Stuart’s at his best when looking out for the needs and interest of others. I’ve known Stuart as a father, husband, friend and community advocate. I can attest that he is true to them all. He does what he believes is right with tact, professionalism and diplomacy.

Renton needs Both Beth and Stuart on City Council because they understand the impor-tance of shaping our city’s future by engag-ing the community in the decision-making process, to inform our collective and shared prosperity. I enthusiastically support Beth Asher and Stuart Avery!

Local arts organization, Allied Arts, is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a special performance by the Seattle Philharmonic at the IKEA Performing Arts Center, in Renton.

The Allied Arts Annual Fall Family Concert is 2 p.m., Oct. 20 at IPAC, 400 S. Second St., Renton.

“It’s wonderful being part of this group of dedicated people, who truly care

about supporting culture and the arts in our com-munity,” said Jaris English via email.

He’s been the Allied Arts’ president since May 2012.

“We are proud to provide financial grants to help sup-port local groups and indi-viduals, who are involved in the arts,” English said.

The annual fall concert is just one of the events the arts group is responsible for throughout the year. Allied

Arts also hosts the Chalk Walk at Renton River Days, the Renton Annual Arts Show, at both the spring and fall arts equinox, and at Renton Municipal Arts Commission events.

“One of my proudest ac-complishments, as presi-dent of Allied Arts in 1999, was to facilitate the upgrad-ing of the theater being planned in the Renton High School remodel from a mere theater to a Perform-

ing Arts Center,” said Char Baker, via email, about her work with Allied Arts.

“I served as chairman of the committee that raised the additional 1.5 million dollars needed to upgrade the facility. The support that came from the community for this vision was incred-ible,” she said.

Allied Arts is starting a youth scholarship program for young artists, musicians and dancers, to commemo-

rate the organization’s 50th year.

Tickets for the fall concert are $3 for students and those 18 and under, $5 for seniors and $8 for adults. Tickets are available for purchase at King and Bunny’s Appliances and L.A. Frames.

For more information, contact Char Baker at 425-255-5145 or Deloris Dew-ing at 206-772-6528.

The Hazen volleyball team moved to 7-5 this week with a 3-0 win Tues-day night over Highline at

Hazen High School.Hazen stayed in control

most of the match, slowed only by an extended delay in the first set as referees checked rotation charts and substitutions. But after

the delay, Hazen still came out ahead with the score changing in their favor due to confusion on the High-line side of the net.

In the end, Hazen won the first set 25-18, the second set 25-11 and the third set 25-14.

Shelby Sturman had eight aces and eight kills for the Highlanders while Marcela Macias had 20 digs and three aces in the win. Kelsey Allen added seven kills and two aces and Sarah Sherrod had 15 assists and four aces.

The Highlanders played at Foster in Thursday and will take on Lindbergh Tuesday at Hazen High School.

renton’s comer headed for coaches Hall of FameBy Brian Beckley

[email protected]

With nearly 400 wins and 10 league championships under his belt, Renton High School basketball coach Rick Comer can now add one honor to his resume: Wash-ington Interscholastic Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Famer.

Earlier this month Comer was selected as one of Hall of Fame’s Class of 2014.

“In Rick’s case it was unanimous,” said Dave Dickson, WIBCA Ban-quet Chair.

Dickson said it was not just Comer’s impressive stat sheet that led to his induction, but also be-cause he is a “quality individual.”

“People that know Rick know he’s

done it the right way,” Dickson said. “He cares about the kids, he doesn’t just care about winning.”

Maybe not, but win-ning is what Comer has done.

In 22 seasons at Renton High School, Comer has racked up a record of 395-168. He has coached two 10 league championship teams, two district championships, had eight teams qualify for the state tournament, including last season when the Indians finished fifth, and was named Seattle Times Coach of the Year in 2002 and 2006.

“Rick has had a long and distin-guished career here,” said Renton

High School Athletic Director Wendell Ellis. “There really isn’t a lot he hasn’t seen.”

Dickson cited Comer’s longevity with a single school and his win-loss record as major factors. Comer is expected to cross the 400 win plateau this season, which Dick-son said puts in a “pretty elite group.”

But beyond the play on the court, Dickson, who said he has known Comer through a friend for 20 years, called the coach a “quality individual” who brings a “positive energy when he walks into a room.”

Ellis agreed and said Comer has

been a “staple” at Renton High, where he also teaches.

“He’s able to share that with stu-dents and players and get the best out of them,” Ellis said, citing the breadth of Comer’s career.

Ellis said when he told Comer of the news, the coach’s response was that it would be great for the school instead of thinking about what it would mean for himself.

“He encompasses what you want in a stellar coach and a stellar teacher,” Ellis said.

The WIBCA Hall of Fame Banquet is set for July 23, 2014, in Tacoma.

The Lindbergh Eagles football team remained unbeaten this week with a 24-13 win over Renton at Renton Memorial Stadium.

Renton scored first, with a 27-yard field goal from Zach Hasson and took their 3-0 lead into the second quarter.

In the second, Lindbergh quarterback Devon Jackson kept the ball himself for a 1-yard touchdown run to give the Eagles a 7-3 advantage over the Indians at the half.

Renton opened the scoring n the second half as well, with Ernie Davis taking the ball in from the 1-yard line to make the score 10-7.

But Lindbergh answered quickly with Daniel Wiitanan return-ing the ensuing kickoff 80 yards for a touchdown of his own. The point-after attempt was blocked, but the third quarter ended with the Eagles up 13-10.

Renton tied up the game in the fourth, on a 36-yard field goal from Hasson.

After a slow start to the season, the Hazen Highlanders soccer team seem to be hitting their stride, beat-ing their opponents this week by a combined score of 13-0.

The Highlanders used their Oct. 10 matchup against Evergreen as a tune up in advance of their match against Renton this past Tuesday, beating Ev-ergreen 8-0. Then, on Tuesday Hazen bested the surprising Renton Indians by a score of 5-0.

Evergreen is enjoying their best season in four years, but the High-landers were on their game and it showed on the scoreboard.

Sophomore forward Erin Zetter-berg had two goals and two assists, senior captain and defender Gabby Brower had a goal and two assists,

and Brianne Sherin had two goals to lead Hazen in points.

Junior forwards Brook Swen-son and Emma Lorrigan also had goals and Senior midfielders Cindy Hanson and Korbyn Walls had as-sists. Two players called up from the JV also combined on a goal when sophomore mid Sarah Hart scored off an assist by Freshmen Forward Allison Sargent.

“It was nice to be able to ease into the league tonight.” said coach Ken Matthews in a press release.

On Tuesday, the Highlanders faced off against the Indians, who were 7-2 coming into the matchup having outscored their opponents 46-13.

But Hazen dominated play, out-shooting Renton 24-2 in a 5-0 victory at Renton Memorial Stadium.

But Lindbergh took over from there, with Ryan Hoover connecting with Khalil Burton for 22-yard touchdown pass and then Jackson running in his sec-ond of the game, to ensure the 25-13 win.

The win moves the 6-0 Eagles to third on the Max Preps ranking of Class 2A football programs in the state. They are scheduled to play at Highline on Friday.

Renton is now 3-3 on the year. The Indians welcome Kennedy Catholic to Renton Memorial Stadium Friday in the high school’s Homecoming game.


but this isn’t that team anymore,” Matthews said in a press release.

Eight minutes into the game senior midfielder Cindy Hanson put Hazen on the board, scoring off an assist from Sherin.

It wasn’t until sixteen minutes later that Brower scored unassisted. The first half ended at 2-0.

Matthews said, “We’ve struggled with our scoring so we tried a little variation on our formation. At the half we changed back and we got our game back a little.”

Sherin picked up a goal of her own 20 minutes into the second half after a cross by senior mid Kristina Holm. Hanson got her second of the night off a neat volley during a corner from

Brower at the 67th minute mark. Ju-nior Attacker Brook Swensen added the final goal off Brower’s second assist at 77:00 minutes.

“This season has kind of been the good news bad news deal,” said Matthews. “These last two games we’ve seen several players with great performances at keys places and times. But there are still some posi-tions where we aren’t getting what we need.”

Matthews said he believes the Highlanders, who started the season with a handful of losses, haven’t even come close to their best game, but they have a great opportunity to do that Thursday as they travel to Highline.

“Two out of the three 3A teams are going to the playoffs. A win Thursday against Highline is a good chance for us to secure one of those two spots,” he said.

Five different players scored six touchdowns for the Hazen High School football program this past week as the Highlanders picked up their second win of the season with a 41-26 victory at Evergreen.

Four of the touchdowns came on passes from quarterback Nolan Hoover.

Hazen jumped out to a quick lead

on a 57-yard touchdown run by Ryan Wong, who added the extra point himself.

Next, Hoover picked up his first TD of the day with a 30-yard pass play to Marquise Lee to give the Highlanders a 14-0 lead.

But Evergreen answered back with a 7-yard touchdown pass of their own to pull it to 14-7. But that would be as close as they’d get all day.

Hoover responded with a 36-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Davis to give the Highlanders a 21-7 lead after the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Hazen kept rolling with Khali Ali catching a 21-yard touchdown pass from Hoover

and Joe Glaefke taking the ball into the end zone on a 2-yard run play to make it 34-7 at the midpoint.

Evergreen scored first in the second half on a 1-yard touchdown run to cut the lead to 20, but Hoover again found Davis, this time for a 6-yard touch-down pass.

Evergreen rallied in the fourth, scoring 12 points on a 15-yard run and a 70-yard pass, but the Highland-ers were able to hold on for a 41-26 victory.

Hazen, 2-4, travel to Bainbridge Friday.

A 24-year-old Renton woman got her wish when she tried to rob a bank of $1 and was taken back to jail.

Unarmed, the woman walked into the Wells Fargo bank on South Grady Way and stood in line on Oct. 3. She walked up to the teller and asked for some money. The teller told her to swipe her card.

The teller wasn’t sure she was serious when she said she was robbing the bank. But she was and the teller activated the bank’s alarm.

The teller and a supervi-sor discussed the situation crouched behind the coun-ter. The teller stood up and the woman told him she does this all the time and has gotten $1,700.

She just needed the dollar to give to officers when they arrived.

An officer recognized her from a bank robbery about a year earlier.

Another employee asked if he could help her. She said, “Yes, I’m robbing your bank and you should cooperate and give me the money. You should at least give me a dollar.”

The employee didn’t have a key to the money drawer, so she turned to leave the

bank, after first trying to steal a woman’s purse.

She was arrested outside. She had just been released from jail and wanted to go back, but first she needed to rob a bank so she could get arrested.

She was booked into the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent for investi-gation of robbery.

Officers call for help; fight looms

Officers called for backup Oct. 2 when a patron who a bar wanted trespassed ap-peared ready to fight them in the parking lot on North-east 44th Street.

A bar employee told officers the 31-year-old Renton man was harassing other patrons and acting strangely. Two officers asked him to step outside so they could talk.

The officers took a tacti-cal stance and the suspect moved aggressively toward an officer. He refused to sit down and appeared ready to fight the officers. He told an officer to taze him.

He told the officers to call him the devil, which the officer wouldn’t do. He continued to yell and spoke nonsensically.

The two officers called for

backup when it appeared they were going to have to fight the man. With strength in numbers the officers took the man into custody.

He was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of second-degree criminal trespass.

Man kicked in road rage

A 37-year-year-old Sequim man was kicked multiple times, including in the groin, Oct. 2, the result of road rage on northbound State Route 167.

He told officers a red Dodge Dakota cut him off in the HOT lane and “brake-checked” him. The Dakota, with three men in-side, slowed and the victim pulled around it.

At the red light at Grady Way, the Dakota driver got out and approached the

victim and seemed to indi-cate he was going to grab a tool or weapon. The light turned green and the victim pulled into a gas station, the Dakota right behind him.

The Dakota driver yelled at the victim for cutting him off and hit him in the chest. The victim stepped back and the Dakota driver kicked him in the shins, butt, groin and legs.

The victim managed into escape into the gas station, but was able to take photos of the Dakota and vehicle. Officers used that infor-mation to track down the Dakota driver, a 49-year-old Tacoma man. He wasn’t immediately located, but he was cited for fourth-degree assault.

Store employee pepper sprayed

An employee of the Safe-way on South Third Street was pepper sprayed after she told a female customer that she couldn’t make a particular transaction at the store.

The store has a voucher machine, but it doesn’t work for the type of transaction the suspect was trying to make.

The woman became upset and demanded the employe complete the the transaction. When told again it wasn’t possible, she pulled out a can of pep-per spray and sprayed the employee’s face. She and a companion then left the store in a hurry.

Officers were reviewing security-camera footage in an attempt to identify the suspect.

The employee was treated by medics.

Robber just needs $1 to go back to jailThe county is also mailing out two voters’ pamphlets for this elec-tion, a state edition and a King County local edition. They may not arrive on the same day as the ballots.

“Voters can mark and return their ballots starting the day they receive them,” said elections director Sherril Huff. “Getting bal-lots back early gives voters extra time in case there are any problems with their signatures. It also helps us save taxpayers money since processing is more efficient when ballots come in ahead of the elec-tion day deadline.”

For at least the fourth election in a row, Randy Corman is running unop-posed for Position 1. Cor-man is the longest-serving member of the current City Council.

Once again, Renton Municipal Court Judge Terry L. Jurado is running unopposed.

Two Renton School District school board members, Albert Talley Sr. and Pam Teal, are unop-posed.

There are two races for positions on the Public Hospital District 1 Board of Commissioners.

Commissioner Sue Bowman is challenged

by Dr. Tamara Sleeter for Position 5, which includes Renton. The second race is for the commission seat vacated by Anthony Hemstad and pits Barbara Drennen and Albert P. Haylor, both of Kent.

Countywide, county Ex-ecutive Dow Constantine is seeking his second term. He’s opposed by Alan E. Lobdell, who previously ran for county executive.

Voters will also decide whether to renew the Emergency Medical Ser-vices levy that pays for the countywide Medic One emergency medical servic-es system. The cost is 0.335 cents or less per $1,000 of assessed valuation.

Citizens can return ballots by mail with a first-class stamp, post-marked by Nov. 5, or by 8 p.m. Nov. 5 to any of 25 locations, including ballot drop off boxes, drop off vans, and Accessible Vot-ing Centers.

The Renton headquar-ters has a drive-by drop-off box.

Voters’ pamphlets are available online at www.kingcounty.gov/elections, at Seattle and King County libraries, and at the Elec-tions Office on Grady Way in Renton.

For more than 30 years, the Rainier Symphony has offered region some of the best music from a community orchestra in the nation.

In recent years Renton has heard the orchestra’s “large orchestral pieces,” as its music director describes the sound, at the Renton IKEA Performing Arts Center.

The symphony’s season kicks off Oct. 19 at the IPAC at 7:30 p.m. with Prokofiev’s “Romeo and Juliet Suite No. 2” and Rach-maninoff ’s “Symphony No. 2.”

Both those pieces take “a very large and very capable orchestra,” said music director David Waltman, and are not often heard, so the opportunity for South King County au-diences to hear that level of music at home “is pretty extraordinary.”

The Rainier Symphony’s home is in Tuk-wila, at the Foster High School Performing

Arts Center, where it performs during the season, too. The performance at Foster is Oct. 20.

The symphony also is bringing home its holiday concert, which it has performed at Benaroya Hall in Seattle for several years. This is a single concert, Dec. 13, at the Fos-ter PAC, and features Christmas favorites.

Tickets for the holiday concert go fast, said Waltman.

The Rainier Symphony is just one of many cultural opportunities available to Renton residents this fall and winter.

For example, the Renton Civic Theater is presenting Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None” and the romantic com-edy, “She Loves Me,” (think “You’ve Got Mail).

A website to bookmark for a compre-hensive calendar of cultural events in South King County,is sococulture.org. That’s the site of South King County Cultural Coali-tion, which represents more than 70 arts

and heritage organizations.Of course, there’s always Seattle and Ta-

coma for your cultural fix. And that brings us back to the Rainier Symphony.

For audiences, going to a Rainier Sym-phony concerts means they don’t have to go to Seattle to hear major musical works, said Waltman.

Waltman, who has directed the sympho-ny for 12 years, calls the Rainier Symphony one of the best community orchestras in the country. Its concertmaster, Ilkka Talvi, held the same position with the Seattle Symphony for 20 years.

Many musicians are career profession-als and many hold advanced degrees in their instruments. There are teachers, both public and private, and community members who perform with the symphony, all as volunteers. They come from all over the region.

Single tickets are available online at www.brownpapertickets.com. Season tickets are

available by calling 206-781-5618. More information is available online at www.rainiersymphony.org
