The parents of 12-year-old Alajawan Brown are suing the state Department of Corrections, claiming the convicted felon who murdered him 4 1/2 years ago wasn’t properly supervised.

The lawsuit was filed Nov. 24 in King County Superior Court by Louis and Ayanna Brown of Skyway.

No damages were specified in the law-suit. The Brown family filed a tort claim against the corrections department in September, which asked for $5 million in damages

Alajawan was shot in the back on April 29, 2010, by Curtis John Walker, who mis-

took him for a gang member. Walker had just been involved in a gang shootout at an apartment complex near the 7-11 store on Martin Luther King Jr. Way where he gunned down Alajawan.

Walker was 36 when he was convicted of first-degree murder with a firearms en-hancement in February 2012 and sentenced on March 22, 2012, to 50 years in prison.

It was at the sentencing that the Browns, after following the investigation closely for two years and sitting through the three-week trial, learned the extent of Walker’s criminal background and that he had violated his supervision by selling drugs and possessing firearms, according to the lawsuit.

It was the first time they had reason to

believe the state correc-tions department “had missed an opportunity to arrest Walker and get him off the streets before he had a chance to kill their son,” according to the lawsuit.

“DOC failed miserably in its supervision of this dangerous offender,” the Browns’ attorney, Nathan P. Roberts, said in an interview Tuesday. “Had DOC done its job properly, he would have been in jail, and Alajawan would still be alive today.”

A spokeswoman for the state corrections department declined to discuss the case because of the lawsuit.

Ayanna Brown also declined to com-ment, referring questions to Roberts.

Finally recuperated from their stress, the Browns contacted an attorney in March 2014 to look into the possibility the state corrections department also bore respon-sibility for Alajawan’s murder, according to the lawsuit.

Transportation again tops city’s priority list2015 legislative wishes also include $3.6 million for Sunset Park constructionBY BRIAN BECKLEY

[email protected]

With 2014 already starting to slip into the rearview mirror, the focus is begin-ning to move to 2015 and before finishing for the year, the City Council adopted its priorities for the state legislature’s next session.

Included on the city’s list this year is not only the legislative changes and funding they’d like to see but also a request for $3.6 million for the construction of the Sunset Neighborhood Park.

Transportation issues once again lead the way for Renton, particularly the state Route 167/Interstate 405 interchange, which Communications Director Preeti Shridhar called “very very critical, very important.”

“We really really need the legislature to enact and update and adopt a compre-hensive transportation package,” she said, reiterating that the interchange is consid-ered the worst in the state for traffic. “We

You may not know Rick Moreno by name, but you’ve most likely seen his work. Moreno is the muralist responsible for the “I (Heart) Renton” painting downtown on Third Street and countless other window scenes displayed seasonally in Renton businesses.

“To me windows are a can-vas and so it’s just a really fun place to be creative,” said Moreno.

He has no formal art training, but studied architecture and civil engineering in school and has honed his mural skills over the years in a part-time profession. Moreno had seen oth-ers do window displays and was looking for some part-time work in 2000, when he decided to try his

hand at the art work. He was encouraged by family, friends and businesses and did his first mural for Com-mon Ground Coffee and Cupcakes in 2007.

“I painted the murals inside their store when they first opened and so as a result they’ve been a client of mine ever since and people started noticing,” said Moreno.

He’s not the only window muralist in town, but he paints regionally and pres-ently has seven window displays up in Renton. He’s careful to point out there is

a sort of code between the window artists to prevent them from infringing on each other’s turf. Once he sees art on a business by another artist, Moreno said he won’t approach that company about doing its window displays the next year, unless they contact him.

Window displays and wall murals aren’t the only type of art Moreno creates.

“There’s not a month that goes by that I don’t have some artwork on the side that I’m doing, whether it be in chalk board art,

whether it be a sporting event, a seasonal event, an anniversary of a restaurant, a special occasion,” he said.

He gets his painting ideas by following what’s relevant and trending in advertising. Moreno is always looking for what catches his eye. Sometimes he uses Hall-mark cards for inspiration.

“I don’t plagiarize any-thing; I just spin something I see from a concept,” he said.

One concept for Pot-belly Sandwiches involved a backdrop of the Swiss Alps and a St. Bernard with a bag

full of Potbelly sandwiches. It’s those type of subtle twists that make Moreno’s sketches distinctive.

He says his creations are addictive and he gets a rush from painting legal graffiti.

“Other people have their toys and their hobby that they do, this is my hobby; this is my toy,” he said. “It gives me a lot of pleasure on many levels. It gives me the sense that I’m meeting the needs of someone else. It gives me creative license and that satisfies something within me as well.”

The Cascade Vista Athletic Club was broken into over the weekend, with someone steal-ing lawn equipment, a generator and two pitching machines. It’s the second time in less than two months the youth baseball league has been targeted.

The first break-in occurred on late October when a riding lawn mower and push mower were taken.

“The club has installed heavier locks but now we are faced with a tough decision to raise the cost of baseball for families,” said Dave Nelson, spokesperson for the club, which plays under Pony Baseball/Softball (not Little League). “Insurance will cover some of the cost for replacement, but replacing equipment comes at an additional cost.”

Renton Police are investigating both break-ins. In the meantime, the CVAC is asking for community help to replace their stolen equipment.

“To keep the cost down we are asking for donations from the community to replace everything stolen,” said Nelson. “Whoever broke in cannot stop us from playing baseball and they cannot stop a kid about dreaming of playing baseball or softball.”

Those wishing to pledge donations are asked to email the club president Robert Ryan at [email protected]. Nelson said the club hopes to have a formal secure site in the coming days.

Burglars cut the lock, inset, and made off with a pair of pitching machines, a generator and more from CVAC. SUBMITTED

What is Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)?Seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, is a mood

disorder characterized by depression related to a certain season of the year – especially winter.

While the exact cause of SAD is still under investigation, it is widely believed that de-creased exposure to sunlight is one of the main culprits, es-pecially for the winter variety of the disorder.

Who is affected by Seasonal

Affective Disorder?According to the National Mental Health

Disorders Association, approximately 10 to 20 percent of the population suffers from mild winter SAD, with 5 percent suffering from a more severe form of the disorder. Anyone can

experience SAD, but onset typically occurs in the early-to-mid-20s and is more likely to affect women than men.

How do I know if I’m experiencing Seasonal

Affective Disorder, and what should I do?If you feel depressed, fatigued and irritable the

same time each year, and these feelings seem to be seasonal in nature, you may have a form of SAD. If you think you are experiencing a form of SAD, it is important to speak openly with your doctor about how you feel so that you and your healthcare provider can form an effective treat-ment plan.

How is Seasonal Affective Disorder treated?If it is determined that you are experiencing

SAD, your healthcare provider will work closely [ more SAD page 5 ]

‘Tis two days after session and all through the Dome,

Not a member is working since they all have gone home;

House members left first, making deals left and right,

Then voting out bills near the middle of the night;

Senators meanwhile had debates on the floor,

‘Till the chance came Tuesday to bolt out the door;

If Murray and Cantwell looked to be a bit dour,

That’s because very soon they’ll be losing some power;

They’re majority today, minority tomorrow,They’ve been in it before, still there’ll be

some sorrow; Murray will lead Dems on a key committee,On which Rs may take aim at the N-L-R-B;She’ll seek to rewrite No Child Left Behind,But getting it done will be quite a grind; Minimum wage is looming on the horizon,

If the panel gets there, brace for a collision;

Ds want it higher and will say Rs don’t care

Hey, doesn’t that sound like class warfare?

Where Cantwell is mov-ing should be lots of action,

It’s the same energy panel where once sat Scoop Jackson.

Murkowski is the leader and knows issues ‘round here

But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to fear;

Cantwell wants biofuels put ahead of oil,But the chair’s from Alaska, so expect a little

roil;This panel has created some great national

parks,Yet raising the subject may generate some

sparks; Congress acted swiftly in its final few days,Hard to keep track in so many ways;Buried at the end of those last-minute billsAre what some fear are poisonous pills; Like easing protections in ‘ole Dodd-FrankCould leave the markets ripe for a prank;And allowing the parties to haul in more

cashCould wind up inciting voter backlash; Yet tucked in the bills are bites of good newsRegardless of one’s political views;Like the sales tax deduction, it’s safe once

again,A rare cause that united our delegation; ‘Tis two days after session – yes Congress is

done,They’ll look back without fondness ‘cuz it

wasn’t fun;They’ll return in a few weeks, all full of good

cheer,Knowing they don’t face election next year.

Political reporter Jerry Cornfield’s blog, The Petri Dish, is at www.heraldnet.com. Con-tact him at [email protected].

It’s disturbing that gun charges plea-bargained

I find it disturbing that we vote for tougher gun laws and then drop the gun-related charges in a plea deal.

The King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, the same people that told you to vote for I-594 because you would be safer, dropped the firearms charges on Ja’Mari Alexander-Alan Jones. Jones was convicted of murder in the death of Ed (the Tuba Man) McMichael in 2009. Now, after being convicted of the 2012 murder of DeShawn Milliken in Bellevue Square, he is offered a plea bargain.

Do we want results from our stand on fire-arms or do we just want to feel good because we voted for a law that punishes law-abiding

citizens but not criminals?Jay Newton,

Renton

Congrats for open process to select council member

I want to express publicly my congratula-tions to the City Council for an outstanding job selecting a replacement for the recent council vacancy.

The process was efficient and transparent.The final choice was an outstanding candidate

out of a large field of applicants, all of whom were well qualified.

Congratulations to Ruth Perez and welcome to the council.

The new Renton Chamber of Com-merce CEO Vicky Baxter wants to see the city enjoy prosperity.

“I really think Renton is a perfect launch for wonderful things,” said Bax-ter five days into her new role. “I think that past management that’s been here at the chamber has been really good from Bill Taylor to Sabrina (Mirante) to Lynn (Wallace). They’ve done really well to position the chamber for some great things.”

Baxter has more than 20 years in economic development experience and is most recently from Santa Ana, Calif., where she was the executive di-rector of Downtown Ink, a group that’s mission was to facilitate the enhance-ment of downtown Santa Ana as a vi-brant shopping, dining, entertainment, business and cultural destination.

Some of her accomplishments there included creating a one stop planning department for business with the City of Santa Ana and creating a merchant council, resulting in new marketing opportunities and communication. She formed collaborations with multi-ple business and retail groups and even started a “Downtown Divas” group for successful women for networking and coordination efforts, among other projects.

“Within four years we were able to

get 60 new busi-nesses,” she said of Downtown Ink. “And right now the whole foodie phenomenon that’s going all over the United States has really hit Santa Ana. We were able to secure some very good restaurants and retail.”

Baxter left a thriving Santa Ana and hopes to work her magic here in Renton. She already likes what she sees in the city. The restaurants are well-represented here and there is much diversity among them, she said. She also likes the overall diversity of Renton, which was also true of South-ern California.

Prior to Downtown Ink, Baxter was the executive director of the Historic Old Sacramento Foundation, a 28 acre historic landmark district and state park.

“The claim to fame in old Sacramen-to is the Gold Rush and people come to see the re-enactors on the street from Lincoln to Civil War characters,” she said. “My position was bring-ing more prosperity, people into the downtown, making sure they support our businesses. I did a lot of events.”

While there, she oversaw four direct reports, more than 100 volunteers, 10 university interns and 45 re-enactors.

Before Sacramento, Baxter was head of the Yountville Chamber of Com-merce in Yountville, Calif. There, she coordinated major events bringing thousands of tourists into town and worked with celebrities, who were the owners and operators of wineries, restaurants and resorts. Her accom-plishments there include organizing a Veteran’s Day luncheon with the famous chefs of Yountville, resulting in local and national media attention.

One idea she’d like to bring to Renton is organizing a Fourth of July boat parade. She sees lots of potential in Renton and wants it to be a destina-tion city not just in the summer time, but year round.

“So, I’d like to see the downtown enjoy prosperity,” she said. “I think there’s wonderful things happening in the downtown already. Many people in California knew about Renton because of the antique stores. They thought it was a very quaint downtown.”

Baxter took the job because she has an ailing mother who lives up here, more family and the circumstances turned out just right.

“The reason why, to be honest, is we have a daughter who lives in Lake Stevens and we have family up here,” she said. “And we said that if there ever was a position in Renton and this area of Washington, we would love to live up here.”

The Community Advisory Group working on Puget Sound Energy’s Energize Eastside transmission line up-grade project has made its final route recommendation.

The panel – comprised of neighborhood, business and civic leaders – selected routes Oak and Willow at their final meeting Wednesday night. The final recommenda-tion by the advisory group is based on its work over the last year, including discussion of community feedback collected throughout 2014.

Of the 20 advisory group members and residential alternates present at the meeting, 17 supported the final recommendation. Of those 17, eight expressed preference for the Oak route and rive expressed preference for the Willow route, while four supported either route.

Three advisory group members had a dissenting opin-ion and supported none of the routes.

These are the final recommended routes that now move on to PSE for an even more thorough review:

• Oak (Segments A-C-E-G2-I-K2-M-N)• Willow (Segments A-C-E-J-M-N)

Visit the interactive map on the Energize Eastside proj-ect website to view these routes and the others that have been evaluated.

PSE will ultimately make an announcement about rout-ing after reviewing the Community Advisory Group’s rec-ommendation, larger public feedback, and opportunities and constraints surrounding the project. That decision is expected in early 2015.

Also during the coming months, PSE will work directly with property owners and tenants to begin detailed fieldwork to inform the route alignment, project design, the environmental review process, and permit applica-tions; ask for community input on project design, which may include pole location, height, finish and other design considerations; and work with the City of Bellevue and other affected jurisdictions and agencies on the project’s

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process.PSE initially identified 18 potential route options for

the new, higher-capacity electric transmission lines that will stretch 18 miles between Redmond and Renton, along with the construction of a new substation.

Group finalizes ‘Energize’ route recommendation

Gardeners are easy to gift, even at the last minute. You don’t need to search for a parking space in a crowded mall, log onto Amazon or bother UPS and pay for shipping.

Visit a nursery, garden center or go online for these thoughtful green and reasonably priced gifts – with the exception of the final gift suggestion which is a luxury splurge: A trip to visit sunny Portugal next November.

Tickets to the Northwest Flower and Garden Show (www.gardenshow.com)

The show runs Feb. 11-14 this year so tickets could double as a gift for Valentine’s Day. When you buy early, you save money; and if you don’t want to go online to the website at www.gar-denshow.com you may be able to buy tickets from your local nursery.

If you haven’t been to this spec-tacular show, make this the year you enjoy the fragrance of flowers and inspiration of beauty even if

you are not a gardener. Turn your visit into a mini vacation by booking a hotel

room in Seattle and visiting the show for two or more days. You’ll want plenty of time to hear the speakers (I’ll be on stage Wednesday of opening night – speaking on “Renovation of the Garden and the Rejuvenation of the Gardener”. )

If you want to really enjoy an impressive gift, you can purchase preview tickets to the premiere on Tuesday evening, Feb. 10 to dine, sip and enjoy the show gardens without the crowds. The show website offers tickets to pre-view night with all proceeds going to support the Wash-ington Park Arboretum – now how green is that?

Experience Northwest Trek (www.nwtrek.org)Every family needs to visit this wild-animal park at least

once just to appreciate our local wildlife but adrenaline

junkies will love the zip lines while garden lovers will ap-preciate the well-marked names on the native plants.

Northwest Trek is open all year long and this huge park near Eatonville offers tram rides to take you up close to free roaming bison, deer and elk. There are also enclosed areas that showcase bear, eagles and other mammals that share our home state of Washington. Lots to see and do with a café

Before you think about showering a kid with more toys or video games, consider a walk on the wild side instead. You can purchase a membership for $50 or upgrade to a special experience with the animal keepers or an active adventure package.

Weeders and ReadersGift subscription to GreenPrints magazine: The Weed-

ers Digest. www.greenprints.comThis is not a glossy garden magazine with photos.

Instead, it is a collection of bimonthly essays on the soul of gardening that will make you laugh, cry or often just think about gardening from a fresh perspective.

If you know of someone who can no longer garden or

suffers gardening withdrawal during the winter months, this will be the read that fills the void. Gift subscriptions are $19.95 with some holiday options on the website.

Sunshine in November 2015 – join us on a trip to Portugal

We experience more than just gardens on our group tours and our trip to sunny Portugal will be Nov. 8-17, 2015. We’ll enjoy a cooking demonstration, Fado dinner show, winery tour and more.

The early booking price of $3,204 includes the airfare. Visit my website at www.binettigarden.com for more trip details and a link to sign up.

community supervision.Currently, 16,563 offend-

ers statewide are actively supervised by the Depart-ment of Corrections; nearly two-thirds of those offend-ers are assessed as higher risk to reoffend, according to West.

The state currently actively supervises 2,843 offenders in King County, she said. According to the lawsuit, the corrections de-partment classified Walker at the highest risk level be-cause of drugs, violence and gang activity. He was being supervised for unlawful possession of a firearm and possession of a controlled substance.

Typically, higher-risk of-fenders receive a minimum of three or four contacts per month, in field offices and at home as well as at work or school, according to West. Some have court-ordered requirements for substance abuse, mental health or domestic violence treatment.

“We hold offenders ac-countable, and when they violate their court-ordered or DOC-ordered supervi-sion conditions, they will spend up to three days in jail for low-level violations (positive drug tests, failing to comply with treatment) and up to 30 days for high-level violations (absconding from supervision, more than five low-level viola-tions, etc.),” she wrote in an email.

Roberts, the Brown’s at-torney, said statistics show that “good supervision is highly effective at prevent-ing future crime; but when supervision is weak, of-fenders invariably return to

their old ways and crimes are committed.”

While most corrections officers do a “good job” managing caseloads, “when the system breaks down there needs to be account-ability,” he said.

According to the law-suit, a concerned citizen

reported on April 17, 2010, that Walker may have threatened his girlfriend with a weapon. Had correc-tions officers, with police backup, gone to Walker’s house, they would have found drugs and weapons, a violation of his probation, according to the lawsuit.

He then would have been in jail and not at the gang battle that led to Alajawan’s murder, according to the lawsuit.

The Browns’ lawsuit maintains the state didn’t make the required contacts with Walker and he only

received a “slap on the wrist” when urinalysis tests showed the presence of drugs, including cocaine.

“Because Defendant DOC was not doing its job and was not supervising Curtis Walker in a mean-ingful way, he was free to carry on in his ‘gangster’ lifestyle, which involved selling drugs and carrying weapons, and which posed an extremely high risk of deadly violence to the com-munity,” according to the lawsuit.

Roberts will now prepare

the case for trial. The Brown family will present its claims to a King County jury on Dec. 21, 2015, if the case goes forward, he said.

The jury would be asked to award monetary dam-ages to the Browns for the loss of their son, and to Ala-jawan’s estate for economic damages and pre-death terror, pain, and suffering, according to Roberts.

“The primary purpose of the lawsuit is to shed light on DOC’s failures so that the mistakes in this case are not repeated,” Roberts said.

“Beneficiary Deeds” (or “Transfer on Death Deeds”) will soon be available. They will be helpful to clients with small estates that hold real estate as the only asset that will require probate. With a Beneficiary Deed, the parent can deed real estate to their children (or other beneficiary) during their lifetime. The deed can be revoked until the death of the parent. If not revoked, the deed becomes effective at the death of the parent to vest ownership in the children - - - thus avoiding the need for probate for the real estate. Please contact our office to check out this new strategy.

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

The following was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.

BY DEAN A. RADFORD

[email protected]

Two men, one described as paranoid and a meth user, argued and fought in a home-less camp Nov. 17 in a wooded area in the 10400 block Carr Road Southeast.

The 27-year-old man who reported the fight told officers he lives with a woman in a tent in the woods, which they share with

another woman. When they returned to the tent, they found the 37-year-old man sleeping there.

The 37-year-old refused to leave and the two men got into a fight. The 27-year-old pulled out the blade of a multi-tool to defend himself and his friend. The man still wouldn’t leave, so the 27-year-old left to call police.

While he was gone, the other man left. It’s unknown whether he was injured, but nearby Valley Medical Center indicated it would notify police if a wounded man

showed up.The 27-year-old told officers that if they

needed to contact him, he’s near the camp-site most days.

The police report included addresses for all those involved.

Hands offA 56-year-old woman wants a fellow ten-

ant prosecuted for assault with a laundry basket after two argued Nov. 12 over their laundry.

The woman found the other tenant’s clothing were done washing in the laundry.

She moved them to a dryer.

Their owner walked in, ready to put them in the dryer herself. She took issue with the other woman putting her hands on her clean clothes. She admitted to mak-ing contact with her basket but without any force.

The officer couldn’t determine that an assault occurred.

do need to have the worst fixed first.”

The city is also once again asking the legislature to provide direct distribu-tion of gas tax and other local transportation fund-ing revenue to the cities, which would allow them larger local control and more options.

That coincides nicely with the city’s second pri-ority as well: fiscal stability.

The city, through its lobbyists, is urging the legislature to protect “state-shared” revenues and to avoid funding cuts for things like transporta-tion and public safety. In particular, the city would like to see full restoration of liquor tax excise distri-butions and a percentage growth in liquor profits as a way to help the cities deal with the increased law enforcement and other issues that have come with privatization.

“We need to protect … our share of the revenue,” Shridhar said. “The impact is direct on public safety.”

The city would also like the legislature to address what it calls “sustain-able revenue options” by “encouraging a fix” to the law, approved by voters through a 2002 initiative, that limits annual property

tax growth to 1 percent despite a similar artificial control on costs.

“We’ve seen year after year our costs increase at the rate of inflation while our revenue sources are curtailed,” Shridhar said.

In the public safety arena, the city’s top priority is the funding of “criti-cal public safety needs” through the sharing of marijuana excise tax rev-enues. There is also hope that the legislature will finally reconcile the regula-tions and laws surrounding medical marijuana usage.

They are also urging the legislature to continue providing money for grant programs, such as “Alive and Free,” a gang inter-vention program through

which the city receives some funding.

The biggest ask in the city’s legislative package this year, however, is a $3.6 million capital budget request to construct Phase I of the 3.1-acre Sunset Neighborhood Park.

Shridhar called the proj-ect “extremely important to Renton” and said though this is a “strong ask” of the legislature, the money would help meet multiple goals, including safety en-hancements for the region and simply improving the quality of life for residents of the area.

“This just ties in the en-tire investment of the Sun-set Area,” she said, adding that state funding would be matched by a city invest-ment of $5.26 million.

In addition, the city

would at that time have completed $48 million worth of infrastructure improvements in the area.

Last year, the city received capital projects money to replace the Riv-erview Park bridge.

The scheduled 105-day session begins Jan. 12, 2015.

There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

N Eagles, Indians swimmers make early splashBY BRIAN BECKLEY

[email protected]

The Lindbergh Eagles swim team on Tuesday bounced back from an opening-match loss to beat Bishop Blanchet by a score of 109-66.

Last season’s 2A champion Eagles dropped their opening meet to Steilacoom 115-70 on Dec. 9.

James Buchanan, Ben Pogue and Andrew Pogue all had big days for Lindbergh. All three were in the opening 200-yard medley relay, along with Derek Anderson, which outpaced the second place team – also from Lindbergh – by

more than 17 seconds.Buchanan also won the 200-yard individual

medley and the 100-yard breaststroke. Ben Pogue finished first in the 100-yard butterfly and the 100-yard backstroke. Andrew Pogue placed first in the 50-yard freestyle and then finished second in the 100-yard freestyle.

The win takes Lindbergh to 1-1 on the year. The Eagles were home against Renton on Thurs-day.

Renton swimmers off to hot startThe upstart Renton swim team picked up

three wins at a single meet Tuesday as the Indians beat Clover Park, Franklin Pierce and Washington during a tri-meet at Hazen High School.

Individual results were not available.The wins give Renton a 3-0 record as the

season gets started. The Indians headed to Lind-bergh on Thursday to take on the Eagles.

Hazen opens its swim season Thursday at home against Kennedy.

Reach Editor Brian Beckley at 425-255-3484, ext. 5050.

The Hazen boys basket-ball team suffered its first loss on Saturday, but the team is still off to a hot start and with a 5-1 overall and 3-0 Seamount League re-cord, the Highlanders find themselves tied at the top of the standings in the early part of the season.

Prior to the 54-44 loss to Vashon Island, the Highlanders rattled off five wins to start the season, including a 90-48 blowout of the Foster Bulldogs on Dec. 12. Dominic Green scored 33 points and had 12 rebounds in that game to lead the way for Hazen. Connor O’Hearn picked up 24 points of his own in the win.

The Highlanders were never able to get their feet under them against Vashon, however, as the Pirates

jumped out to a 21-7 first quarter lead and never looked back. Green and O’Hearn again led the way for the Highlanders, scoring 40 of the team’s 44 points in the loss.

The Highlanders played at Highline Wednesday and take on Renton at home tonight, Friday.

Lindbergh wins one, loses one

The Lindbergh Eagles boys basketball team beat crosstown rivals Renton 64-53 on Dec. 10 but fell to Evergreen 70-69 in a game that went into overtime on Dec. 12 at Lindbergh High School.

Evergreen jumped out to a 16-11 first-quarter lead, but Lindbergh rallied to get ahead 32-26 headed into the half. But Evergreen

responded, leading 48-46 as the final frame began. Lindbergh again rallied to knot the game at 61 each as time ran out.

In overtime, Evergreen just edged the Eagles 9-8 to win the game.

Devon Jackson led the way for the Eagles with 24 points.

Lindbergh is now 2-2

overall and 1-2 in the Seamount. They played at Kennedy on Wednesday and take on Foster at home today, Friday.

Renton off to slow startThe Renton boys basket-

ball team is off to a rough start with just one win in its first five games.

This week, the Indians fell to Lindbergh 64-53 on Dec. 10 and then found

No. As a matter of fact, we call it a community center that’s dedicated to health. We call it a shopping mall for gifts that bring some much-needed cheer. We call it a school where you can learn about what ails you and how to avoid it in the first place. We call it a peaceful place for healing where the best minds in medicine come together as one. We call it a no-wait emergency room, a family-friendly primary-care clinic, an advanced lab and diagnostic imaging center, and a home to dozens of expert specialists. We call this place Swedish Issaquah. We think you’ll call it extraordinary.

You call this a hospital?
