NBA star helps refurbish Liberty courts Renton dedicated the refurbished basketball courts at Liberty Park Saturday, recognizing the contribution of NBA star Jamal Crawford that helped make the work possible. Crawford, who spent his early childhood and youth in Renton, spent countless hours at the Liberty Park court, developing his basketball skills.

FISHING DERBY TO BENEFIT SMILES FOREVER The Springbrook Trout Farm will hold a fishing derby on Saturday, Oct. 1. The derby is 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the trout farm at 19225 Talbot Road S. in Renton. The entry fee for the derby is $10 per person and participants will receive one free raffle ticket, a hot dog and soda. Also they will get two for one small and medium fish and a large fish for 75 cents per inch. All the proceeds from the derby will benefit Smiles Forever, a non-profit program that created a dental hygiene school in Cochabamba, Bolivia, 11 years ago.
Arlene Roberts, an 80-year-old widow, was found dead more than 30 years ago in her trailer at the Lakeshore Manor Mobile Home Park on Lake Washington. Last week, a 50-year-old man was charged in her homicide after his arrest in Reno, Nevada, by cold-case detectives with the King County Sheriff ’s Department. Ronald Wayne MacDonald is being held in a Reno jail on $2 million bail. An extradition hearing is planned; his first Ronald MacDonald court apperance in King County is Oct. 6, unless he fights extradition. MacDonald is in jail because of advances in fingerprint analysis. “DNA gets all the attention,� said Sheriff Sue Rahr. “But other advances, including fingerprint identification via AFIS, solve crimes as well. It is very gratifying to finally solve the murder of an 80 year-old woman, thanks to AFIS and great detective work. Roberts was found dead on Oct. 28, 1978, in her trailer at the mobile home park at 11448 Rainier Ave S. in Bryn Mawr, where she lived

alone. No one had seen her for several days, so neighbors checked on her, according to Sgt. John Urquhart, a spokesman for the Sheriff ’s Office, who outlined the case in a news release Friday. Roberts’ hands and feet were tied with nylon stockings and there was a gag in her mouth. A hair net was tightened around her neck. The trailer was ransacked. A King County Police spokesman said at the time there was little hard evidence in the case, although detectives thought robbery was a motive, according to a short story in the Nov. 1, 1978, Renton Record Chronicle. An autopsy determined she was
strangled to death. With little evidence to go on, the case went cold and was never solved. But in 2010 detectives from the Sheriff ’s Office Cold Case Unit looked at what evidence had been collected, including fingerprints from the crime scene. Because of advances in Automated Fingerprint Identification System or AFIS technology, prints could be entered into the system that previously may have not met the criteria for quality or detail, according to Urquhart. AFIS technicians found matches to MacDonald on three items from the crime scene, including a bank statement and a Traveler’s Cheque, according to Urquhart. In checking MacDonald’s background, detectives discovered he lived seven blocks north of Roberts on Rainier Avenue. MacDonald also was booked into jail twice in 1978 on burglary charges. By 1979 he had moved to Florida and was arrested for burglary in 1979 and 1980. He served prison time in Florida and Washington. MacDonald was arrested in Nevada in 1992 and in 2001. He lives in Reno, where he was interviewed by Sheriff ’s Office detectives last June.
Sustainable Renton, a nonprofit service organization established in fall 2010, is hosting a series called “Sustainable Talks� in October. The series kicks off at 7 p.m., Oct. 6th at the downtown Renton Library, 100 Mill Ave. S. The guest speaker will be Nikola Davidson of EarthSystemsNW, who will talk about rainwater harvesting and cisterns, which are tanks for storing water. Davidson will speak on how to harvest rainwater from your roof to use in the garden or house. According to the group cisterns save money, conserve water, prevent storm water pollution and can remedy drainage issues. The workshop will cover the basics and benefits of cisterns, the components of a cistern, how they work, how to customize a system for your landscape and what to do to start collecting rain. The group is currently working to find ways to support the South Renton Neighborhood Association and their goal of developing a new garden in South Renton.

Two local brewers will be on hand to talk about their beers and offer tastings.

It is a family-friendly event and those 21-yearsold and up will be given a wristband at the door, Mertes said. Brawts, pretzels with fancy mustards, German potato salad and spaetzle (like German pasta), will be served in addition to the regular Luther’s Table menu.

Oktoberfest is coming to Renton. Coinciding with Luther’s Table’s sixth-month anniversary, an Oktoberfest is planned to kick off the fall season from 4 p.m. to midnight, Saturday, Oct. 1. Gretchen Mertes, Luther Table’s mission developer, thought it was a great idea, considering it is a traditionally German celebration and Martin Luther, the namesake of the restaurant and pub, was also German. Originally Mertes tried to get an “oompa� band with a tuba and squeeze box, but she couldn’t find any locally, because “apparently Leavenworth has all of them for

To those who don’t understand the concept of having a church mission and a pub in the same place, Mertes says, it’s about modeling moderation. “This place is not about coming in and getting wasted and getting your party on and being irresponsible and all those things,� she said. “This is a place to gather with your family and friends and celebrate life together and have conversations.� Luther’s Table is located at 419 S.

Weekend 405 closure set The state Department of Transportation will try again this weekend to close Interstate 405 through Bellevue to connect new ramps to the freeway. On Friday state crews will close northbound Interstate 405 for 53 hours. When crews reopen the road Monday morning, drivers headed to Redmond, Seattle and Kirkland will use new ramps to get to I-405 and State Route 520. This is the Washington State Department of Transportation’s second attempt at the weekend closure. Last week, Atkinson Construction, the contractor for the I-405 Bellevue Braids project, called the weekend closure off due to the forecasted heavy rain. This weekend, if heavy rain is expected, the closure could be postponed again. “We need dry weather this weekend to make sure the construction is finished by Monday morning,� said Seema Javeri, WSDOT project engineer. “The work is very challenging and compressed into a tight time frame, and we need to ensure we’ve got a long enough weather window to complete the work.� Atkinson Construction
will decide Friday morning if the weekend work will go forward based on the forecast. If sufficient rain is predicted, they plan to call off the closure.
During the weekend closure, drivers should plan extra time into their schedules and expect delays on detour routes around Bellevue.

Visit a Starbucks, help local students Providing quality education to our children is critical to the continued economic development of our city and the future of our community. With the new school year already under way, teachers need our help. From African-American history books for elementary students, to wickless alcohol burners to teach middle school students about science, to requests for guitar kits to help high school students who love music, there is no end to the needs of a classroom. And to meet these needs we must all be committed and support our teachers and students. I am pleased to share an opportunity that will soon be available in Renton that will help secure funding for supplies and projects for our teachers and classrooms. On Oct. 5, anyone visiting a neighborhood Starbucks can help Renton teachers and students for free. All you have to do is pick up a free $10 gift card from any Starbucks in King County, log onto www.donorschoose.org/kingcounty2011, and use the cards to help fund the needs of our teachers. Local public school teachers have posted their requests for needed classroom materials or student projects on DonorsChoose.org and all you have to do is simply select a project that speaks to you. After the project is completed, you will receive photographs and thank-you letters from the classroom you selected. In each case, the teachers will explain how your donation helped their students learn and grow. You also have the option of donating more to Mayor Denis Law

“Do you worry about your kids getting to and from school on a school bus?”
he Renton Reporter endorses Robin Jones in his race to replace retiring City Council member King Parker for council Position 5. Jones brings a maturity in his viewpoints and in the way that he presents those views that his opponent, Ed Prince, is still developing. As a Boeing project manager, Jones has had to look at the big picture, which is important when making decisions affecting everyone in a city of about 93,000 people. Jones is a deputy commander of a U.S. Army Reserve brigade and he has served as a member and chairman of the Renton Human Services Committee. Combined, that experience in leadership and in making a group work shows he is someone who can get the job done.
community, as a police officer and later deputy police chief, as a founder of the Renton River Days and as an active member and supporter of numerous organizations and causes. That experience and his 12 years already on the City Council make Persson one of the most valuable members of the council. His institutional knowledge is deep. His boss is the community, he says. His top priority is the city’s financial stability. That’s most apparent when he warns of the negative financial impact annexing West Hill could have on current Renton residents. Persson hasn’t had a challenger in his last two council elections. He beat Dan Clawson for the open council seat in 1999. Now, Phyllis Forister has stepped up to run against Persson. Forister is well-spoken and has done her research on important issues facing Renton. But, despite her statements otherwise, the Editorial Board couldn’t shake its belief that Forister is a one-issue candidate. That issue is the location of the downtown Renton library, which the City Council has already decided. Now, Forister supports an initiative to overturn the City Council’s approval of its agreement with the King County Library System. That’s counterproductive and signals a potential unwillingness to accept votes that don’t go her way. Forister simply hasn’t made the case that she should replace Persson. In reality, as an Editorial Board member said, it would take a “rock star” to unseat Persson. He has yet to face such an opponent.
COMMENTARY
Question of the week:
The Editorial Board in August did not recommend that Jones advance to the general election. The intent then was to offer our counsel in what essentially was the nominating process. We recommended Prince and Mark Martinez; Prince won the primary with about 41 percent of the vote, while Martinez and Jones roughly split the other 60 percent. The three generally agreed on the issues the Editorial Board raised in the primary election interviews. We still applaud Prince for his hard work to learn how Renton works. He is a leader for the future. But we saw a different side of the two candidates during the second interview, when they were questioned more in depth and had a greater chance to interact with each other. Right now there’s a need to elect a City Council member who will bring a fresh perspective in dealing with the difficult issues the city is facing. That’s better provided by Jones. Jones would need to listen, too, to fellow council members, realizing that governing is about compromise. But his experience and voice are needed on the City Council.

BLOTTER: Homeless man arrested The following information was compiled from City of Renton police reports.
A little past noon, the 51-year-old woman at a cleaners on Southwest Seventh Street said that a man came into the shop pointing a gun at her. The man was described as a black male, mid 30s, 6-foot-2 to 6-foot-6-inches, wearing a dark grey, almost black track suit and a baseball cap that was white, gray and black. He was also wearing black gloves. The suspect did not speak but grabbed all the cash from the register that the shopkeeper gave him. The suspect left the woman sitting on a chair and told her not to call the police. She waited 20 minutes then called 911.

A homeless man was arrested after leading police on a chase after a theft Sept. 14. A 20-year-old said he stole a t-shirt from the Save Smoke Shop, 17170 116th Ave. S.E., because he is homeless and has been wearing the same clothes for weeks. The teen led an officer on a car and foot chase through Renton at around 10 a.m.

dishing a handgun in a car on Sept. 9. A witness driving in a car with two children was stopped at the stop sign on Southeast 160th Street. A vehicle, described as a maroon, 1990’s four-door sedan, with two black males passed by. The witness said
that the passenger, for no apparent reason, pointed a black handgun out the window toward her vehicle.
Knives at school Two Lindbergh High School students were reprimanded for bringing knives and fireworks to school on
Sept. 6. The mother of one student came to the school to report the two students had made threats against her son. School staff searched the two students in question and found two folding pocket knives and il-
legal firecrackers in their backpacks. Both students said they left them in their backpacks from a camping trip over the weekend and forgot they were there. The victim had received threatening text messages from the two students concerning meeting up to fight.

Where is Jimi Hendrix buried? Just ask Chamber of Commerce
The Renton Chamber of Commerce faced Rainier Avenue when it was built in 1960. Another major change occurred when a deck was removed from the side of the building that faced Renton Municipal Airport. Renton Chamber of Commer
Beacon of the Renton business community, dispenser of everything to know about Renton – and witness to aviation history – is going to move.
BY DEAN A. RADFORD
dradford@rentonreporter.com
ABOUT THE SECTION We always enjoy learning about the history of Renton through this special section, Renton Then and Now. We hope it helps you get in touch with the past, too. A great resource for Renton’s history, of course, is the Renton History Museum itself and its website. Ellen Morrison, publisher Dean A. Radford, editor
INSIDE Chamber on the move/9 The Great Flood of 2011/10 Renton on track/12 Coins, silver, gold/14
In the 1950s and early 60s, the freeways serving Renton and the rest of the region were still on the drawing boards or maybe a really big unpaved ditch in the case of I-5. Anyone headed north to Seattle got on Rainier Avenue or Empire Way. They were the thoroughfares of a much simpler time, when traffic wasn’t as bad as it is today and those semis seemed smaller. The long path of Rainier was a prime spot for businesses looking for exposure to all that traffic. So it made sense that the beacon of the Renton business community, the Renton Chamber of Commerce, should find a home there, too. It didn’t hurt that the location for the new chamber building overlooked the Renton Municipal Airport, one of the birth places of modern commercial aviation. Every 737 built has taken off in front of the chamber office. It’s parking lot is a tourist attraction. But those days are coming to an end. Fifty years have gone by quickly. The chamber’s lease with the City of Renton, which owns the airport that includes the land under the chamber, expired at the end of 2010. It was signed in 1960. Now the chamber has a month-to-month lease, paying about $3,400 a month to the city while it looks for a new home. What exactly will follow on the chamber’s perch isn’t known, but it will have some tie to the aviation industry. And Renton’s thousands of visitors will have to find Lucille Crozier and the rest of the helpful folks at a new chamber office. Lucille Crozier is the chamber’s receptionist. But more to the point she’s Renton’s unofficial hostess. Can’t find Jimi Hendrix’s grave? Ask her. Where is the rocker buried is the question she’s asked most often. If someone’s in the office, she hands them a map from a stack on her desk. (In case you didn’t know, he’s buried at Greenwood Memorial Park in the Highlands.) She’s also asked frequently about Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain and martial arts star Bruce Lee, but it’s hard to figure out their connection to Renton. Lucy, as she’s more frequently called, has worked for the chamber for 20 years, after a 47-year career in banking. She’s 83. She loves her job. “We are going to miss this place,”
Lucille Crozier answers questions from her receptionist’s desk at the Renton Chamber of Commerce and greets visitors. DEAN A. RADFORD, Renton Reporter
she says. It’s safe to say others at the chamber office feel the same way. They’ll miss their view to history, from those huge picture windows that provide an expansive view of the airport and those 737s still dressed in green. Crozier once saw a 747 land at the airport. Crozier has been to busy to watch all those 737s – thousands of them – take their maiden voyage. She’s greeting either in person or on the phone and handling myriad details for the chamber staff. She’s often the first face seen by congressmen, governors and state legislators who walk through the chamber’s doors. She’s kept track of the chamber’s history. The chamber had about 350 members when she came to work in 1991; now it’s roughly 650 members. She’s worked for four chamber CEOs. The chamber’s front door once faced Rainier Avenue; now the entry is off the parking lot. Crozier’s current boss, Bill Taylor, is now deep in the search for a new home for the Chamber of Commerce. The search is concentrated in downtown Renton, for many reasons. As a visitors center, the chamber needs to be downtown, he says But where the chamber locates also
sends an important message to the community, he said “We see a lot of value in being in downtown Renton and feel our presence there will make a statement to businesses and the community that we have confidence in the downtown core and belong there,” Taylor said. The chamber needs about 2,500 square feet; it wants to buy, rather than lease. “We have looked at literally everything that’s out there,” he said. “There is nothing that is exactly right.” He would like to locate at the historic train depot on Burnett Avenue, but at about 6,000 square feet, the building is too big, he said. A possibility is that owner Burlington Northern Sante Fe Railway would “split off a piece” of the building, he said. “The good news is that I think we have the advantage of time,” he said. There isn’t a for-sale sign on the depot, he said. The Chamber of Commerce was incorporated in 1924, but in 1909, businessmen met at the Melrose Hotel (now the Melrose Grill) to form a chamber “to advance the community’s interest,” according to a chamber history. At one point it was called the Renton Commercial Club. Fast forward to the late 1950s,
when business and community leaders mounted a fundraising campaign to build a new office for the chamber. Their names are memorialized on a large plaque in the chamber conference room. Taylor couldn’t pinpoint the amount raised. What’s historically significant with the building is apparent almost daily, when a new Boeing jet flies off within ear shot, he says. The business leaders agreed to turn over the building to the City of Renton after 50 years. There was a 20-year extension and then a 10-year extension that brought the termination date to Dec. 31, 2010. During the early years, the chamber paid $1 a year for its lease. Owning its own building will help give the chamber some financial predictability, which a manageable mortgage would provide, he said. He doesn’t want to the chamber to face again the possibility of a move. Denis Law, then a newspaper publisher, was on the chamber board when a 10-year lease extension with the city was signed. Now, as mayor, he hopes that famed perch to watch the 737 would somehow remain. “People have watched an awful lot happen from that perch on the hillside,” he said.

The Great Flood of 1911 left a big mess BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
Renton has always had an uneasy relationship with the Cedar River, even after its wrath was controlled by the dam built by the City of Seattle above Landsburg. But there was one Great Flood, when the Cedar, the Black and the Duwamish rivers joined forces to wreak havoc on Renton and up toward Kent. It was a Sunday morning, nearly 100 years ago, on Nov. 11, 1911. Church bells tolled at about 8:30 a.m., nothing unusual for a Sunday. But as Tom Monahan writes in his essay for the Renton Historical Society and Museum Quarterly, “A River Ran Through Logs and debris piled up against the Williams Avenue bridge over the Cedar River during the It: The Great Flood of 1911,� major storm of January 2009. DEAN A. RADFORD, Renton Reporter file photo those bells weren’t a call to Sunday worship. “Instead, the bells heralded a potentially lethal situation – announcing a day of terror for Rentonians living in the lower parts of the city,� wrote Monahan, who was a museum researcher. The weather that day wasn’t anything unusual for a turbulent fall. Rain in the lowlands, heavy snow in the mountains and a warm wind, Monahan explains. All that water was headed down those three rivers, to the bottom of the basin – Renton. The dam on the Cedar hadn’t
failed Renton yet. But the city was gripped in fear. Sentries were posted, with binoculars trained on the river. A system of signals was set up for the Denny-Renton brick plant siren. One was an all clear; the other would signal a dam failure – a constant 30-minute blast. The dam held, but false alarms had already created a panic and rightly so. Water still rushed toward Renton, bringing with it logs and debris, which piled up against the bridges in the city. Even after 100 years, that scenario still plays out in Renton during major floods on the Cedar. The raging water spread across Renton, forcing residents to flee to higher ground. Eventually, the waters receded and clean up began. Mud and debris filled basements and every street in town. No one died, Monahan reports, and the injuries were mostly minor. But the Cedar River wasn’t finished with Renton. As public works director, Gregg Zimmerman is responsible for much of the city’s flood control and response today. He, like almost everyone else alive today, wasn’t around for the 1911 flood. But he worked for the city in 1990, when the Cedar River struck a major blow to Renton. Many of the apochrophal stories about flooding of the Cedar in Renton stem from that November storm. The National Weather Service ranks it as No. 10 in its top 10 list of the state’s major weather events in the 1900s. That year, sandbags were stacked to prevent flooding of what was then the Renton City Hall next to Liberty Park. The Cedar nearly overtopped the sandbags. Prisoners in the city jail in the basement were evacuated because water was flowing up through the floor drains. City officials feared the Houser Way bridge would give way from the force of logs and [ more 1911 FLOOD page 11 ]

Even today, logs, other debris stack up against bridges [1911 flood from page 10]
debris stacked up against it. The Renton airport and golf course suffered significant flooding. Boeing aircraft stored at the airport suffered some damage. “After this flood event, we knew that steps needed to be taken to better protect the city from flooding of the Cedar River,” Zimmerman said. Part of that effort was to work with Seattle Public Utilities to change the procedures for operating the Seattle-owned Masonry Dam on the Cedar to “more closely accommodate watershed conditions,” he said. The Masonry Dam created the Chester Morse Reservoir, which supplies water to Seattle and the city’s water customers. “These improved operating procedures at the Masonry Dam were one of the largest contributing factors to reduced flooding in Renton,” he said. Renton has taken a number of others steps, too, (see the breakout box) that together have “dramatically decreased” flooding along the river in Renton, he said. “Cedar River flooding is much less severe in Renton and causes far less damage than was the case in 1990,” he said. The airport no longer floods and a berm has reduced the severity of flooding on the golf course. Flooding of the Cedar may not create vivid new memories, but old memories still make for dramatic stories. Karen Curtis Knudsen lives in downtown Renton. She has lived through the the major floods in the city and heard family stories of earlier ones. Interestingly, she once heard a story from a friend about the flood of 1911, but she didn’t write it down
because she thought it was the product of the woman’s illness. She suggests checking out some of the homes in North Renton, on Park, Pelly or Wells. Look for homes with four or five steps to the porch. They were trying to get to “high ground.” Parts of Renton also were flooded by the Green River. As a child in the late 1940s, Knudsen lived on a hill on what is now Valley Medical Center, so was above the flooding. But she watched as neighbors rowed to work. The rowers would tie up their boats to a telephone pole, then take another one to dry land. “They would do this day after day until the river receded,” she said. There was one rule she learned in listening to the stories. Don’t tie up your boat without a slipnot. If not, as occasionally happened, a boat tied firmly would end up dangling from the pole. “The boat and telephone were right across the street from the local tavern, so the men at the tavern had a good laugh at newcomer’s expense,” she says. Today, the Cedar River is still not completely tamed, which many argue is OK. The Masonry Dam still holds back millions of gallons of water, but there’s no way to stop the flow into the Cedar River from streams below the dam or from runoff. Logs and debris still pile up against the city’s bridges during high water, resulting in expensive efforts to remove them. The City of Renton and King County are working together to limit how often that happens. But in 100 years man has made the Cedar a much better neighbor.

A self-described ‘weirdo’ leaves mark on sports BY ADAM MCFADDEN amcfadden@rentonreporter.com
Renton’s Ken Storkson ran before running was cool. When he got out of the military in 1965, Storkson noticed he was starting to get heavy. The solution? Start running. “I started running way back in the 60s,� Storkson said. “Back then nobody ran, except weirdos.� It’s a good thing Storkson wasn’t afraid to be one “When I coached cross of those weirdos, because his footprints are all over country, we had a lot Renton’s running history. of fun, and did a lot of Storkson, 72, has coached cross country, track crazy stuff.� Ken Storkson and field, and soccer at Lindbergh, Hazen and Nelsen Middle School in the past 40-plus years.

Storkson started at Hazen in 1969, then moved on to Lindbergh in 1982. He stayed there, teaching English and coaching until 1999. Some of Storkson’s best teams at Lindbergh were in the early 90s. The girls cross-country team went undefeated against league competition for four seasons from 1991 to 1994. Overall, from 1989 through 1997, the girls team only lost to league opponents three times.

After time off coaching, Ken Storkson stepped back in as the track and field coach at Hazen last spring [ STORKSON from page 12 ] Lindbergh in 1999, when current coach Jef Rettmann took over. “It was old age more than anything,� Storkson said to his reasons for leaving. He coached soccer at Nelsen for a few years after Lindbergh, then returned to Hazen last spring. At all of his stops, he had one thing in common with the kids: fun. “When I coached cross country, we had a lot of fun, and did a lot of crazy stuff,� he said. One Seattle run sticks out as for fitting the “crazy� part. Storkson told his team to not hop the fence and run into Broadmoor. Broadmoor, an affluent Seattle neighbor-

hood, always had security guards on duty. After telling his team that, they, of course, went on to jump the fence and run into the neighborhood. What they didn’t realize at first is that they were running right through a bee hive. “They all got stung, and one kid was allergic so we had to rush him to the hospital,� he said. No major harm was done and everyone left with quite the story to tell. “When I see those kids now, they remember that to this day.� In the end Storkson remembers some of his disappointments (“Not everybody’s built to be a winner, there’s a lot more pressure to be a winner than a loser.�) but mostly his fun moments. The team’s trips to Lincoln Park in Seattle, learning from former Renton High coach Barry Savage, friendships with former Lindbergh coach
Arnie Young and Rettmann (who Storkson called “a good friend and a worthy successor.�). At this point there are just a few things he might change, like having the kids run even more. “We practiced six days a week, they would have to do a seventh day on their own,� he said. “On the seventh day God rested, so I can too. But good runners don’t.� Now that Storkson is back coaching at Hazen, he’s come full circle. He’s still getting to work with kids, and he still sees former students and athletes all of the time around Renton, greeting each one with a smile and a story. “I’m kind of a gregarious old rascal,� he said with a chuckle.

RENTON — THEN AND NOW
Owner Steve Campau has had a love of coins since he was 5 [ COIN SHOP from page 14] The Renton Coin Shop is important to the community because it provides people with money and liquidity, he said. “We see more people from more walks of life and I think we’re seeing quite a few more middle class people than we were before that are looking for a little extra money to help pay the rent or to make their mortgage payments,� Campau said. People are digging up coins that their grandparents gave them and Campau said, “It’s a treasure hunt everyday.� The Renton Coin Shop has probably five to 10 million coins. On a typical day they will have as many as 100 or 125 customers. “And so the traffic has changed a lot,� said Campau. “A lot of people buying and a lot of people selling more gold, more silver.� It’s an extreme, he said, from the poorest customers buying $2 to $3 items to people that buy items worth tens of thousands of dollars. Over the years Campau has watched as the value of gold and silver has gone up and down, but what’s remained a constant is the community that’s formed around the shop. “We get an awful lot of referrals and word of mouth simply because this shop has been here treating people decently since 1964,� said Doug, a long-time shop worker. “And that makes a big difference.� Doug started helping the original owner, Tom McNeelan, in the late 1980s at the shop as a hobby but came to work full-time
Steve Campau, owner of Renton Coin Shop, displays a 1890s piggybank in the store. He occasionally puts out a few of the banks around the holidays. TRACEY COMPTON, Renton Reporter about 12 years ago when he retired from his regular job. He got an education from working and learning about coins in the shop and said, “I’ve met so many darned nice people over the years who have similar interests.�
Worship in Renton
The shop has remained for years a centerpiece of the community, but is also attracts people from as far away as Montana, Anchorage, British Columbia and Oregon. There used to be two workers serving the customers, but that has changed to five

people working the shop. The Bid Board, which Campau describes as an early eBay, still has 7,000 names of bidders and sellers on it. The shop has undergone a major remodel in which all of the old fixtures were removed. It took them one year and they are still re-organizing 45 years worth of items that have been stored in the shop all this time. Amongst their dusty treasure they’ve found pennies from the 1930s, 40s and 50s and rolls of nickels. Now when customers asks for a nickel from 1935, shop workers can ask which grade would they like and pull it from a tube and sell it to them. Some of Campau’s other rare treasures include a 1909, gold, $5, Indian coin that was one of the last minted in New Orleans and valued at $8,350. He also has a 1916, Standing Liberty Quarter valued at $8,500 and a 1802 1/2 cent piece valued at $10,000. Campau’s love for coins started at age 5 or 6, when his uncle gave him a Churchill Crown and some other British coins. Then he bought his first coin from the original owner of the shop, Tom McNeelan, when he was 7-years-old before McNeelan moved the shop to Renton. McNeelan sold coins from a booth in a Boulevard Park delicatessen before he bought the Renton Coin Shop in 1964. Campau played with McNeelan’s daughter, Mary Gladding, in the shop becoming a regular visitor. “Mother thinks the world of Steve, the new owner,� said Gladding recently about her mother Betty, who will be 83 in February. It makes her mother feel good she can still walk in and say hello, Gladding said. That’s exactly the kind of atmosphere Campau has worked to create through out the years. “And I want people to come in and have coffee and eat a donut and bring the kids in or bring their dog in and not have it be a big deal,� he said. Campau’s goal is to be the biggest little coin shop in the world with a neighborhood coin store appeal. With a recent customer driving from as far away as Spokane seeking fair deals at the Renton Coin Shop, it seems Campau is well on his way.

The Renton City Council has voted unanimously to oppose Initiative 1125, requires that toll revenues be treated like gas taxes and only be used for highway improvements and capital costs for the specific road project being tolled. Renton’s Councilmembers expressed their concern that if this initiative passes it could jeopardize some critical projects and cause more delays and traffic headaches for drivers. “We have an obligation to support our city’s transportation needs, as well as those projects identified throughout the rest of the state,� said Council President Terri Briere. “We must oppose I-1125 in order to ensure that there will be funding sources available to build, maintain and improve roads such as Interstate 405 and Highway 167 that directly benefit our residents and businesses.�

Eagles soaring Lindbergh girls experienced, talented, ready BY ADAM MCFADDEN amcfadden@rentonreporter.com
Lindbergh girls soccer coach James Valles was worried. Valles knew much of his team core was seniors, and as the team’s third head coach in four years, he had some thoughts the seniors would have trouble adjusting. “I was actually kind of worried,” Valles said. “I’m so glad they all stayed
because it’s made my job so much easier. They have a pretty complete team.” The team starts with seniors Kimi Girmus, Whitney Hilde and Jordyn McLuen. All three made the all-league first team last season and there’s little doubt the trio makes the Eagles one of the most talented teams in the Seamount. Valles said Hilde, an attacking midfielder, is a spectacular player.
“If she’s not one of the top SOCCER players in the Seamount, she’s got to be close,” Valles said. “She does everything for the team.” Hilde is tied for the team lead with two goals so far this season. Girmus, a defender, is one of the team’s best leaders. “She’s just one of those personalities that helps everyone feel welcome,” Valles said. “Whether it’s organizing practice, keeping everybody involved, she does it all.” McLuen is a forward with

Liberty’s Cassidy Nangle dribbles away from a Juanita player Sept. 27. ADAM MCFADDEN, Renton Reporter
Liberty continuing dominance of KingCo BY ADAM MCFADDEN amcfadden@rentonreporter.com
It’s all about star power for the Liberty girls soccer team. The Patriots have two SOCCER all-state players in Kimi Fry and Cassidy Nangle. “We have a group of really hard-working girls and they have one goal in mind, and that’s to win a state championship,” said Liberty coach Jamie Giger. “They come out every day looking to get better on the field.” Fry, who has committed to play for the University of San Diego, plays center midfield. Nangle, who has committed to play for Oklahoma, plays forward. The two together give Liberty one of the most talented duos in the state. “With those two captains we have very strong leadership,” Giger said. “They know how to get the young kids to do what they want them to do.” In her first year of coaching the team, Giger takes over

for friend Malia Arrant. She has the Patriots starting right where they left off last year: winning. “It was a pretty easy transition; our coaching philosophies are very similar,” Giger said. Liberty went undefeated in KingCo 3A/2A play last year on the way to a league title and a state berth. This season, the Patriots 6-1 overall and 5-0 in league play. Liberty’s only loss came was a 1-0 non-league contest to state-power Skyline, and the Patriots were missing two starters in that game. Other key players for the team are junior midfielder Kianna Hafferty and senior goalkeeper Macaire Ament. One newcomer to watch is forward Kali Youngdahl. “I could actually go on about players on this team
a team-leading three assists. “If I had 11 players like her I would be in seventh heaven,” Valles said. Lindbergh’s two other seniors, defender Selena Mullins and midfielder Kayse Angel, are also starters. Angel made the all-league second team, while Mullins earned all-league honorable mention last year. Other key players are junior goalkeeper Audrey Cunningham, junior midfielder Meghan Hansen, sophomore defender Alicia Wasisco and sophomore forward Lindsey Pfluger. The Eagles are currently 4-3 overall and 4-1 in Seamount play. That’s good enough for second place in the league, first among 2A teams. Lindbergh picked up a statement win Tuesday, topping Kennedy Catholic 2-1.

because we have so much talent,” Giger said. “It’s just
a solid lineup all the way through.”
Lindbergh nets comeback win against Kennedy
KEY GAME
Minutes after its 2-1 win against Kennedy Catholic Tuesday night, the Lindbergh girls soccer team was still screaming in the locker room. Needless to say, the Eagles were excited. “This group of seniors doesn’t even remember scoring on Kennedy, let alone beating them,” said Lindbergh coach James Valles. “So this is a really big deal, a really big deal.” The Lancers (4-4-1 overall, 3-1-1 Seamount) went up 1-0 on a penalty kick from Kirsten Olson late in the first half. Lindbergh (4-3, 4-1) tied the game in the 60th minute. Goalkeeper Audrey Cunningham kicked the ball out of goal, midfielder Whitney Hilde head butted the ball, and forward Jordyn McLuen knocked the ball in. “Just scoring one goal makes a huge difference in the game,” Valles said. Just over two minutes later Hilde made a penalty kick to give Lindbergh the lead. From that point, the Eagles just had to hold on. “That was the longest 20 minutes of my life,” Valles said. Valles said his team is coming together at the right time and this win will just build even more confidence. “Given this game and how we played, I think we’re a team to be reckoned with,” he said. “We’ve got some hard teams coming up. This isn’t the end of it, this is the beginning.” MORE PHOTOS ONLINE… Lindbergh will take on Foster Oct. 4. RentonReporter.com
