PACCAR building new distribution center on North Renton siteBY BRIAN BECKLEY

[email protected]

Work is finally under way on a long-planned project to build a new PACCAR parts-distribu-tion center in the North Renton neighborhood.

The site, located at Fourth Street North and Garden Avenue North, is approxi-mately 25 acres in size and will house a new 169,147-square-foot building when completed, according to the city.

As part of the project, an existing 28,500-square-foot building previously located on the site was demolished.

The site is also a Superfund site, contami-nated with heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic

hydrocarbons (PAHs), and polychlorinated bi-phenyls (PCBs), from waste dumping prior to 1964. Clean-up and remediation was complet-ed in 1996, according to state documents, but long-term groundwater monitoring is ongoing.

From the city standpoint, the only mitigation placed on the site is the retention of mature trees around the perimeter of the site on the inside of the fence along North Fourth Street and Garden Avenue North.

According to the city permit, the project is valued at $11,013,900. Permits have been issued and a timeframe for completion is unknown.

Valley Medical Center is expanding its Highlands Clinic on Duvall Avenue North-east to accommodate the growing demand for medical care.

The target date for opening the expanded clinic space is April 1. The project also will include improved parking.

“The purpose of expanding the High-lands Clinic is to meet the increasing patient access needs of the area,” said Valley spokesman Kelley Balcomb-Bartok.

“This is due both to a growing popula-tion and to a growing number of patients eligible for Medicaid who are now seeking primary-care services,” he said.

Valley Medical Center is anticipating that its service area will grow by about 21,000 residents within the next five years, Dr. Bob Thompson, Valley’s vice president of physician relations, told hospital trustees at a recent board meeting.

There’s a new chief in Skyway and his name is Joseph Clow.

King County Fire District 20 Board of Com-missioners unanimously approved the appoint-ment of Clow as the district’s next fire chief during a special meeting Aug. 27.

Clow is the former fire chief of King County Fire District 28 (Enumclaw), a district similar to District 20 with a combination of career and volunteer firefighters. The Enumclaw district responds to about 2,000 plus calls a year, serving a population of 18,000 and an annual budget of $2.8 million.

“Chief Clow’s experience not just with a com-bination department but his dedication to the community is a good fit for our fire district and its citizens,” board member Jeff Doppmann said.

According to district spokesman Dave Nelson, Skyway responded to more than 2,000 calls in 2014 and serves a population of 15,000 with a $3.6 million operating budget.

He also has experience as the fire chief of the City of Fond du Lac Fire and Rescue in Fond du Lac, Wisc., and Town of Bedford Fire Depart-ment in New Hampshire.

Clow began his fire service career in Bet-tendorf, Iowa, in 1980. He and his wife Sue and have two grown children, Anna and Paul.

“I liked the aspect that the fire chief would be involved in the community. Don’t be surprised if I show up on the engine to a call,” Clow said in a press release about taking the position. “I

had an opportunity to assist in the hiring of Chief Chubb and liked the similarities it had with other fire departments I have been involved with.”

The chief ’s salary is $128,000.Clow replaces former Fire Chief Mark Chubb

who took a position as chief safety officer of Alliance for Bangladesh Worker Safety based in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Interim Fire Chief Jon Parkinson returned to Eastside Fire and Rescue on Sept. 4.

“We wish Chief Parkinson the best as he returns to duty at Eastside Fire. He has been in-strumental during the search for a new chief and the transition to Chief Clow,” Doppmann said.

This August marked the 50th anniversary of the Renton Municipal Arts Commission and the city hosted a special event Aug. 27 at Carco Theater to celebrate and to honor the many volunteers who have served as commissioners over the years.

The group gathered to reminisce, discuss past accomplishments and talk about the cur-rent issues facing arts and culture in Renton.

Of special interest were the recent relocation, directed by the Renton Municipal Arts Commission, of the sculpture “Emerging” from near Carco Theater to a more visible loca-tion at Park Avenue North and Garden Avenue North; potential addition of new public art in downtown Renton; and an enlightening discussion of the sculpture located at Kiwanis Bicentennial Air Park, “Icosahedron.”

Gregory Parsons, a former arts commissioner and artist who designed “Icosahedron” in 1976, explained the significance of the subtle shadows created by the design. Also honored were organizations that further the arts in Renton, including Allied Arts of Renton, Arts Unlimited, and the 425 Theatre Project.

Renton Civic Theatre opens its fall season Sept. 18 with a production of “Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street.”

Based on an infamous English urban legend of an unjustly exiled barber who returns to 19th century London seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife, “Sweeney Todd” has simultaneously shocked, awed, and delighted audiences across the world.

The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett’s luck sharply shifts when Todd’s thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up.

With a book by Hugh Wheeler and music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, “Sweeney Todd” is the winner of eight Tony awards including Best Musical of 1979.

The play will run from Sept. 18 to Oct. 3, with shows on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for students and seniors and available at the box office or on the website at www.rentoncivitheatre.com

Renton Civic opens fall season with ‘Sweeney Todd’

He told trustees that fewer primary-care doc-tors are setting up private practices, while hospital employment is increasing.

In fiscal years 2014 and 2015 Valley Medical added 32 physicians and 22 mid-level positions. Valley will need 77 new providers and approxi-mately 90,000 to 125,000 additional square feet of medical office space into 2019.

Some of this space could be on or near the main hospital campus and some could be within Valley’s service area.

Reach Dean A. Radford at 425-255-3484 ext. 5150.

A traffic plan for any potential traffic impacts from the project will be put in place when right-of-way permits are approved for work along streets.

Representatives from PACCAR declined to comment on the project, siting corporate policy not to discuss building projects.

Renton Remodel

$289,900

Fall is like a second spring in Western Washington; so just like in March or April, this is a good month to fertil-ize and reseed the lawn, divide and multiply perennials, add new trees and shrubs and fill container gardens with fresh color.

The big advantage of doing these chores in the fall rather than spring is that the soil is already warm and ready to encourage new root growth and after such a dry summer the slug and snail population should be less damaging to tender young transplants.

Dirt-cheap gardeners will appre-ciate all the clearance and end-of- season sales at garden centers and

nurseries and outdoor work is usually more pleasant in the fall with a nip rather than a shower in the air.

This fall local gardeners are asking questions about how to handle their landscapes after the summer drought:

Q. Like everyone else in my neighborhood I let my lawn “go golden” or brown this summer. I

know the winter rains will green it up but when should I fertilize? R.T., Tacoma

A. Your lawn will let you know when it is ready for a meal by going from golden to green as it

awakens from the summer slumber. Do not fertilize if the grass is still brown or golden.

Once you see signs of green, use a fall and winter lawn food with slow-release nitrogen not fast-acting nitrogen (the label on the fertilizer bag will tell you if the nitrogen is slow release).

In Western Washington if you only fertilize once a year, the fall feeding is the most important. This is be-cause a slow-release lawn food holds nitrogen in the root zone all winter where it will be available in the spring to jump start new growth. Grasses will crowd out spring weeds if fed in the fall with slow-release fertilizer.

Q. I heard you talk about lawn renovation and now I want to try the tips you mentioned be-

cause my neighbor has a lawn that stayed much greener than everyone else on the block after adding soil and reseeding. What are the steps to having a more drought- resistant lawn?

A. It is a simple grass-roots movement if you want a greener lawn and less watering.

First, mow low and aerate your soil. Next, spread one to two inches of compost on top of the lawn and rake evenly across the lawn surface filling in the low spots. (Tip: You can order compost to be delivered that has been professionally made and is free of most weed seeds.)

Next, reseed using one of the new drought resis-tant lawn seed mixes now on the market. You will pay more for these superior grass seeds but they really do stay green longer during droughts. Follow the planting instructions on the seed bag. This means you will need to keep the new seed moist if it does not rain.

Next summer your new lawn will stay green with less water, thanks to the water-holding ability of the compost and the deep reaching roots of the drought resistant grass seed.

Q. I have a complaint and was offended in a previ-ous column when you called the perennial “La-

dy’s Mantle” a tramp because she often hops into other beds. Would you talk that way about a man? B.G., email

A. My apologies to any offended ladies and gentlemen. I was thinking of the Disney movie

“Lady and the Tramp” when I described Lady’s mantle and of course Walt would never disrespect tramps or ladies. He gave the “tramp” star billing.

Lady’s Mantle could very well be a male not a female as we all accept transgender plants in the very accepting world of horticulture. (Just like the Olympics, horti-culturists also give out gold medals for superior plant performance.)

I am also sure that Mother Nature has a wonderful sense of humor – why else would we have such funny- looking animals such as camels and hippos and silly looking plants like contorted filberts and curly willow?

I sense a move afoot to make me appear grouchy and less than Mr. Cool and up with the times.

How ridiculous is that? Me: Mr. I.M. Sun-shine.

Let me present the complaint without distor-tion or twisting any facts.

I have been using the texting feature on my magic talk box more often lately because of certain young women in my of-fice who shall go unnamed. We will refer to them as Sarah and Rebecca, and my daughter, who shall not go unnamed, Katy, and her little Yorkie from the underworld (apparently Katy’s demon

Yorkie can use the stupid text thing better than me).

Complaint No. 1I forget to check my text messages. Like I’m

supposed to do this more than yearly. Katy said I had to set up some ear-throbbing

sounds to tell me when to do what. OK, fine, I did as directed. The next day I

forgot what I did and suddenly got all befuddled when foreign sounds starting pouring unan-nounced from my pocket. I thought I was Agent 86 and I tried to answer my shoe. (Keep this information to yourself, please.)

Complaint No. 2This is from me. How am I supposed to know

about all those special weird unknowable things Sarah, Rebecca and Katy know and no one ever tells me?

I spend all sorts of time studying indecipher-able old things like Greek, but I have no idea what a ‘:)’ means or a ‘:P’ or the million other

things they use to talk. Where did this language come from and why do they get to know and I don’t? Maybe they find out in some secret class-room where you have to know the handshake and everyone wears funny hats and sits in tall wooden chairs with no cushions.

Complaint No. 3 This is also me . . . not that I’m whining. How come they can punch things into their

phone like lightning and it takes me 20 minutes to figure out how to write barf. It is so annoy-ing. I feel like when I text I have to lock myself in a closet. I have even practiced speed thumb things and all I do is end up writing a string of bad words.

RemedyIt’s not likely I can return to my cranky wall

phone (I still have the one we had on the farm) and it is probable that essential information will continue to be withheld from me because of a conspiratorial plan to make me appear grouchy and as out of date as my lumpy buttermilk. Well, my lumpy buttermilk is the secret remedy. The magic potion for Mr. Sunshine is a glass of buttermilk, texturally lumpy, every day. It is the elixir of life the young do not know and have not discovered with all their fancy, speedy texty things – whatever they are.

Someday Sarah, Rebecca and Katy will want to know the secret sign to text – lumpy buttermilk, come and get it – but they will have to come to me for the answer.

Hee, hee.

Try as it might, Washington just can’t get this charter school thing down right.

For years, backers of this privately run, publicly funded model of educating endured rejection by voters worried that diverting public dimes in this manner might sink the state’s school system.

The mood turned in 2012 when billionaire believers of this education alternative put serious amounts of their money into helping pass Initiative 1240. An alliance of national experts hailed the measure as one of the best-written, charter-school laws in the nation.

Until Friday.That’s when the state Supreme Court, in a

6-3 decision, struck down the law as uncon-stitutional and began the countdown to the legal extermination of nine charter schools serving 1,200 students.

So now what?The Washington Charter School Com-

mission held a special meeting Wednesday for commissioners to ponder the path of what-ifs ahead of them.

“We need to remain fo-cused,” executive director Joshua Halsey said before the meeting. “These are real schools. These are real

kids that are being impacted by the decisions made by adults.”

Conversations are already occurring on how to keep schools open and fix the law.

But first, the Attorney General’s Office and lawyers for initiative backers will try to convince the Supreme Court – or at least a majority — to reconsider and retreat from its original decision. That motion must be filed within 20 days of the ruling.

Because it’s highly probable the court won’t change its mind, the state’s attorneys also will ask justices to provide enough time for the commission to extricate the public’s fingers from these operations.

That also will give founders of the schools a chance to take their next step, which pre-sumably will be to become private schools for the foreseeable future.

On that point, the Washington State Char-ter School Association, a private group which raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to assist the schools, is making sure money won’t be an issue. Its leaders vow to drum up the estimated $14 million needed to keep every school open through June.

Meanwhile, figuring out how to legitimize charter schools will be much harder as it will require action by lawmakers.

Republicans in the House and Senate want to move swiftly to carve out a spot in state law for charter schools and spell out where funding for them will come from. Seattle Rep. Eric Pettigrew wants to act quickly along those lines as well.

They want Gov. Jay Inslee to call a special

session for that purpose but as of Wednesday morning he had not indicated what he wants to do. Democratic leaders in the two chambers have been silent on the situation too. Without their buy-in, it’s a cinch this will be a debate left for the 2016 legislative session.

Jim Spady, a charter school supporter who has been on the front lines of this civic war since 1994, vowed the court action won’t be the last word.

“We are going to do whatever it takes,” declared Spady, an executive of Dick’s Drive-in. “We are having charter schools in Washington state. They are here. They are work-ing. We haven’t come this far to be sidetracked.”

National Day of Service comes to Renton Saturday

For the sixth year, and in honor of the 13th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the City of Renton is partnering with local agen-cies for the National Day of Service to provide volunteer opportunities in the Renton area.

This year’s Day of Service will be held from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Sept. 12, followed by a “Celebration of Service” picnic at Liberty Park from noon to 1:30 p.m. with entertainment provided by Ian Dobson.

There are hundreds of volunteer positions available for this special day of service created to bring the com-munity together for charitable causes; the same way many brave citizens did during and following Sept. 11.

There are a variety of important projects for interested volunteer:

• Cleaning and maintenance of Harambee Church;

• Removal of invasive plants at vari-ous King County and City of Renton Parks; or

• Helping out at the garage sale for Birthday Dreams.

In 2009, Congress officially des-ignated Sept. 11 as National Day of Service and Remembrance, and Presi-dent Obama called for all Americans to participate in our Nation’s recovery and renewal efforts by serving their community, and showing our Nations’ true strength in coming together in times of uncertainty to help others;

the way many brave citizens did dur-ing and following Sept. 11. According to the Corporation for National and Community Service, it is projected that over one million citizens across the U.S. will participate in the Na-tional Day of Service and answer the President’s call to serve and honor all those impacted by the attacks.

To register as a volunteer go to JustServe.org and select a Renton Day of Service Project.

Sept. 19 named ‘Day of Concern for the Hungry’

Mayor Law has joined other mayors throughout King County declaring Sept. 19 as the 23nd Annual Mayors Day of Concern for the Hungry. Food donated on this day will substantially reduce the growing crisis of hunger in our community.

Volunteers will be at the following Renton stores from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sept. 19:

• Fred Meyer, Benson Center, 17801 108th Ave. S.E.;

• Fred Meyer, Renton Center, 365 Renton Center Way S.W.;

• Safeway, Downtown Renton, 200 S. 3rd St.;

• Safeway, Renton Highlands East, 4300 N.E. Fourth St.; and

• Safeway, Renton Highlands, 2725 N.E. Sunset Blvd.

Please plan to shop at one of the participating stores Sept. 19 and make a donation. Donations will go to the Emergency Feeding program and

Salvation Army Renton Rotary Food Bank.

Volunteers will be available at participating stores with the list of the most needed food items. Cash dona-tions are also accepted.

Volunteers are also needed to pass out flyers and collect donated food. If you have two to three hours to help out, please contact either Marlene Poland at 206-329-0300, email [email protected] or the Salvation Army Renton Rotary Food Bank at [email protected], or to sign up.

City seeking CERT volunteers

As part of Ready in Renton, the city is actively recruiting volunteers to be part of the city’s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program. CERT is a nationwide all-hazards disaster preparedness program created by the FEMA.

CERT volunteers are trained to take on leadership roles in their neighborhoods following a disaster. CERT classes begin at 6 p.m. Sept. 22 and continue each Tuesday evening through Nov. 3. Participants receive 24 hours of training in fire suppres-sion, search and rescue, first aid, disaster psychology and team orga-nization, and participate in a disaster simulation on Nov. 7.

The cost is $25 for Renton residents and $30 for non-residents. For more information visit rentonwa.gov/CERT or call 425-430-7041.

The following was compiled from Renton Police Depart-ment case reports.

BY DEAN A. RADFORD

[email protected]

Renton Police officers discovered a small notebook Aug. 3 that contained names and numbers and descriptions of criminal activity after arresting a 29-year-old Edgewood man for smoking heroin.

Officers found the man inside a silver sedan in a parking lot on the Benson Highway at about 3:45 p.m. One noticed a black tarry substance inside a plastic baggie, probably black-tar heroin.

His friend was inside the Fred Meyer “probably stealing things.” The suspect gave officers permission to search the car, while he sat on the curb in handcuffs. Located were 19 new baggies, tinfoil with burned residue, baggies of white

substances, which tested as methamphetamine.Inside a gym bag on the backseat were two pill bottles,

one containing a brown residue. The small spiral-bound notebook was inside the bag. One page referred to “white,” which is white heroin. Another page contained names and dollar amounts which may be related to drug sales.

The suspect was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of drug possession.

SECURITY OFFICER ASSAULTED: A store security officer was assaulted Aug. 10 at Walmart on Rainier Avenue by a man and woman who had just shoplifted t-shirts worth $8.44.

The security officer stopped the two suspects after they left the store. Each was wearing a stolen t-shirt and a third was stuffed down the man’s pants.

One suspect wrapped his arms around the security officer and punched her from behind. The woman grabbed her by the hair and dragged her to the ground.

Another security officer came to help her, but the assault had stopped and the two suspects had fled. A juvenile with the two suspects ran off with the security officer’s cell phone.

The suspects were detained a short distance away; the man was hiding inside a store. He was also wanted on a state warrant for escape.

They were booked into the SCORE region-al jail for investigation of second-degree robbery. On the way to the jail, the male suspect aggressively shuffled in the rear seat. The officer stopped the patrol car and discovered a potential illegal drug hidden in the crack of his rear end. The officer couldn’t obtain enough to test because the sub-stance had been heavily ground into the car’s rubber mat.

The security officer was treated and released.Eventually the man was charged with violating a no-

contact order involving the woman, as well as fourth-degree assault and third-degree theft. The woman was to be cited for fourth-degree assault and third-degree theft in Renton.

IN A HEADLOCK: A 32-year-old Seattle woman was put in a headlock and pulled to the ground Aug. 21 at a store on Rainier Avenue by a customer at the store.

The two had confronted each other after she had asked an employee, who was talking with the suspect, to let her pay

for her items.The suspect went outside, then returned. The victim put a

soda bottle between them because “he was in her face.” Others came to her defense when he took her to the

ground. The 59-year-old suspect told her to call 911, then left in his truck.

He was later stopped. He told officers he had just been assaulted at the store by the victim. He had a small scratch under his left eye. He was released but would be cited for fourth-degree assault and driving with a suspended license.

NOT AN UPGRADE: An employee of a deli on Wells Avenue was informed in a phone call Aug. 14 that the store’s com-puter needed three upgrades.

The employee asked her to call back when the manager returned, but the caller insisted the upgrades were urgent and the computer system could crash without them.

The caller then guided the employee through the up-grades, completing the three transactions.

The manager discovered three money transfers originat-ing from a different time zone but no upgrades.

Two transactions, for about $3,400, went through, but the manager stopped the third transfer.

DRUG ARREST: Random people getting in an out of a Dodge minivan to beg for money in a parking lot on Sunset Boule-vard North at about noon Aug. 13 caught the attention of an employee of a nearby business.

An officer found a woman asleep in the passenger seat; a man was bent over in his seat, a rubber band tied around his left arm and a needle penetrating the skin.

The needle was loaded with a brownish liquid, which later tested positive for heroin.

The 27-year-old Renton man startled when the officer asked him to put the needle on the dash. As the officer wrote, the man was “kind enough” to cap the needle. He’s been addicted to heroin for three years.

He’s also wanted on state felony warrant for escape and a DUI misdemeanor warrant.

He said he would talk to a detective about where he pur-chased the heroin but not in the van. A relative in the car gave officers a drug kit the man had in the driver’s seat.

He was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investi-gation of drug possession. Detectives were to follow up.

Swedish Hospital this summer cut the ribbon on a new primary-care facil-ity at The Landing.

Known as the Swedish Renton Clinic at The Landing, the facility is de-signed to offer same-day and walk-in appointments, as well as scheduled visits.

The primary-care facility is also set to feature a new technology system to help speed a patient’s information through the system to cut down on wait times prior to treatment.

Five doctors are on hand at the new clinic. There is an on-site lab and x-ray machine.

The primary-care clinic joins a nonsurgical musculoskeletal medicine and rehabilitation clinic for sports medicine, pain management and physical therapy and a professional clinic that includes specialists in cardiology, obstet-rics, gynecology, nephrology and digestive health.

“We are pleased to welcome additional 737-800 airplanes into our fleet as we continue to expand our regional and in-ternational route network,” Piya Yodmani, Deputy CEO, Nok Air, said in a press re-lease. “Nok Air looks forward to introduc-ing Boeing’s new 737 MAX 8 in the next couple of years. The new 737 MAX will build on the high-standards of the existing Next-Generation models to deliver valuable savings in fuel efficiency.”

ON Renton football falls to Washington in first game

BY BRIAN BECKLEY

[email protected]

The Washington Patriots spoiled Renton football’s home opener this past week, riding a big second half to a 30-22 victory over the Indians in the first game of the year.

Despite of flurry of penalties on the opening drive that seemed to stall the Indians before they could get into a rhythm, Renton was able to work their way down the field to get on the board first behind the leg of Zach Hasson, who kicked a 25-yarder to put Renton up 3-0 at the end of the first quarter.

Washington responded in the second, breaking off a 50-yard touchdown run to go up 7-3, but the Indians battled back as quarterback Drew Olson punched in a 3-yard run to take a 10-7 lead into halftime.

Renton opened up the scoring in the second half as well, picking up a 1-yard run from Royal Dotson-Goode to put the Indians up 16-7.

But Washington would not go away and scored twice in the third on a 45-yard run and a 50-yard pass play, and then once in the early part of the fourth quarter on a 47-yard pass to take a 30-16 lead in the final frame.

Renton battled back, earning six more points on a 5-yard touchdown run from Dotson-Goode to make it 30-22, but time ran out before Renton could make up the difference.

Renton falls to 0-1 overall on the season. The Indians travel to Rainier Beach at noon on Saturday.

The football season got off to a tough start on Friday for the Hazen Highlanders, who traveled to Lake Wash-ington for their first game of the season and fell 35-7 to the Kangaroos.

Lake Washington scored first, a 1-yard touchdown run with 6:34 left in the first and never looked back, picking up a second TD before the quarter was out to take a 14-0 lead.

Things did not get better for the Highlanders in the second as Lake Washington put up a pair of passing TDs, a 48-yard strike and then a 7-yard touchdown toss as

time ran out to put Hazen into a 28-0 hole at the half.Halfway through the third, Lake Washington scored

again on a 7-yard run to take a 35-0 lead after three.But Hazen kept fighting, finally breaking through in

the fourth quarter on a 32-yard touchdown run by Aus-tin Buza to make it 35-7.

Hazen falls to 0-1 on the season. The Highlanders play their home opener against Liberty at 7 p.m. Friday at Renton Memorial Stadium.

Without a pool to call their own, it can be difficult for a swim team to really come together, but Renton Indians Coach Diane Pavelin said her team is keeping its head above water.

This year, the team, which has to travel to Hazen every day for practices, lost 10 girls from last year’s squad, but Pavelin said her team still has a few swimmers who might make some waves this year.

The Indians finished last season 4-5 overall with a 3-4 record in the Seamount. Top returners from that squad in-clude sophomore Kayla Honmyo, who finished 10th in the league as a freshman last year in the 100-yard freestyle and swam on the team’s state-qualifying relay; Harley Rose, a sophomore who finished fourth in both the 200- and 500-yard freestyle at leagues last season, and Hannah Tunis, a junior who missed leagues and districts last year due to ill-ness but placed in the top 12 as a freshman the year before.

Pavelin said club swimmer Naima Pal, a freshman, is also someone to watch this season.

With only 15 swimmers on the team, Pavelin is keep-

ing her expectations low, but she said the goal this year is to help her individuals place at leagues and districts and hopefully qualify for a relay or two at the state meet.

The Renton swim team opens its season Sept. 18 at the Seamount Jamboree at Hazen and then swims at Foster Sept. 24.

BY BRIAN BECKLEY

[email protected]

The Hazen girls soccer season got off to a bumpy start this weekend, dropping two games against top-ranked opponents, but coach Ken Matthews is not particularly wor-ried.

Last week, Hazen opened with a 6-2 loss to Eastside Catholic and then on Tuesday fell to Liberty 1-0 at home.

But according to the coach, the difficult start is all part of the plan.

“I schedule these games because it’s a great way to see where we are,” Matthews said in an email. “As I told the girls, don’t worry about the score; play our game so we can improve moving forward.”

On Tuesday, the Highlanders welcomed Liberty to Hazen for an early match-up in front of a large boisterous crowd.

Liberty’s only goal came early in the first half. After that, senior captain and keeper Brittany Dinkins was a wall, stopping even a point-blank shot at the 6-minute mark.

But unfortunately, the Liberty defense proved too much for the Highlanders, who were unable to tie the game.

Despite the loss, Matthews saw growth from his team as they took on the favored Patriots.

“Last year we lost to Liberty 7-0. It was 5-0 at the half. We brought a lot more to this game and the result showed,” he said in an email.

The game was a lot closer than Hazen’s sea-son opener against Eastside Catholic, a game

in which the Highlanders were also hampered when senior captain and forward Taylor Len-ton missed wide on an early chance and then left the Eastside game with an injury.

“We had to scramble a little after that,” Mat-thews said.

Hazen kept it close for the first half as the teams stayed nil-nil until the 30th minute when the Crusaders picked up their first goal. The score stayed 1-0 as the teams went to the half.

Eastside scored three minutes into the second half to take a 2-0 lead, but the High-landers cut the lead in half on a tap-in goal by freshman forward Madison Taylor.

Seconds later, Hazen had what Matthews said appeared to be a second goal but the Eastside keeper made a great save and the Crusaders counter ended up in the Hazen net.

Hazen’s Clara Brodie picked up a goal to keep it a one-goal game, but because the team was pushing to score, Matthews said the defenders and the keeper were vulnerable and Eastside was able to take advantage for a 6-2 final score.

“When we play these tough opponents I’m worried about two things: I don’t want the girls to be discouraged and I hope we don’t have to reinvent the wheel,” Matthews said. “I think we’re going to be OK on both of those.”

Hazen plays Prairie at 2 p.m. Saturday at Hazen. Prairie defeated the Highlanders 3-0 last year in the opening round of the district playoffs, ending Hazen’s season.

Lindbergh football beats West Seattle 21-14The Lindbergh Eagles football tram opened its 2015 campaign with a 21-14 win

Friday in West Seattle.The teams battled through three scoreless periods before an eruption of scoring

in the final frame.No statistics were available from the game.Lindbergh is now 1-0 and will play their home opener against White River at 7

p.m. Thursday at Renton Memorial Stadium.-Brian Beckley

Lindbergh swimming staying realistic

Last year the Lindbergh swim team placed third at the Seamount meet and 12th in districts. Though coach Roger Miron is expecting to stay in the same place in the league standings, he is hop-ing for improvements to the team all around.

This year’s top returners for the Eagles are Rachel Andelin, Colette Garcia, Avery Knittle, Taylor Jordan and Victoria Yackel. Miron said key losses for the team are Chelsey Guhlke, Jazzlyn Pena and Simone Childs.

Knittle is the only returning swimmer who finished in the top 12 in districts last season, but Miron said he is hoping to add some more names to that list by season’s end.

The coach said his goal is to get as many swimmers as possible qualified for districts and then to focus on states. But as a team, he thinks third place is a realistic goal for the season.

“I think Kennedy and Hazen will be extremely difficult to beat,” he said in an email.

Season openerLindbergh opens its season at the

Seamount Jamboree on Saturday at Hazen and then opens their dual meet

season at Bishop Blanchet on Sept. 22.

Hazen volleyball expects big things

After a disappointing fourth-place finish last year in the Seamount League, the Hazen volleyball squad is looking to rebound this year.

And while the Highlanders lost seven seniors to graduation this season, coach Zach Orcutt still has high hopes for his team.

“While we turned over a significant portion of our roster and will be fairly young, the talent on this squad should allow us to challenge for the Seamount League title,” he said in an email.

This year, the Highlanders will be led by junior Taliah Coe and Sophomore Alicia Ngyuen, but Orcutt said Jordan Shively, Anna McCallum and Kassie Thyomazin were all players to keep an eye on. Orcutt also has high expecta-tions for his younger athletes.

“We are expecting big contributions from some freshmen and athletes who are getting their first opportunity on varsity,” he said.

Season openerHazen volleyball opened its season

Wednesday at home against For-est Ridge and will play Lindbergh on Tuesday.
