Renton woman set husband on fire because shooting would be ‘too nice’ BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

Fire investigators search through the rubble at Regency Woods on Monday looking for a cause of Saturday’s fire. Multiple buildings were burned for a total of $3 million in damage. TRACEY COMPTON, Renton Reporter Below, a firefighter sprays water on the blaze. PHOTO COURTESY DENIS LAW

Damage to the Regency Woods apartment complex from Saturday’s four-alarm fire has been estimated at $3 million, according to Renton Deputy Fire Chief Erik Wallgren. Midweek, the fire investigation was continuing, including to determine its cause. The investigation is complicated by the size of the fire and the number of interviews investigators must do, Wallgren said. Thirty-nine residents were displaced from their homes but nearly all found temporary housing immediately with friends or family. No injuries were reported in the wind-whipped fire that was reported at 1:46 p.m. At the peak approximately 140 fire

Off-duty firefighters backfilled Renton’s fire stations to ensure the entire city had fire coverage, Wallgren said. Winds, estimated at 20 to 30 mph, were a “major contributing factor” in fighting the fire, Wallgren said. Such winds are unusual for this time of year, he said. There was “significant potential”

A 40-year-old Renton woman told investigators she poured gasoline on her husband and lit him on fire because shooting him would be too nice, according to court documents. Tatanysha Marie Hedman of Renton was charged Tuesday with first-degree assault for the alleged assault on Vincent E. Phillips, 52, on July 16. She’s being held in the King County Jail in downtown Seattle on $500,000 bail. Her arraignment is Aug. 5 at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. According to charging docuTatanysha Hedman ments, Hedman poured gasoline on Phillips, including his head and upper chest, while he was in bed. She then lit him on fire. He screamed and Hedman fled the bedroom and out of the apartment. Phillips followed her, his head on fire. A friend staying at the apartment likened the scene to one from the movie “Ghostriders,” where an actor’s head was on fire. Phillips fell to the couch, melting the fabric. The visitor threw a blanket over him to put out the flames. Phillips screamed, but didn’t say anything. He put on some clothes and left the apartment at 2101 S.W. Sunset Boulevard. He drove a Saturn registered to Hedman to the 7-11 store at 12848 Martin Luther King Jr. Way, where he asked a clerk to call for medical help. According to

‘Shake, Waddle and Roll’ your way to River Days BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

It’s time again for Renton’s big celebration; Renton River Days is back. The 29th annual multiday family festival kicks off Friday, July 25 in Liberty Park. “Our teams are ready and we’re excited for this weekend!” said Sonja Mejlaender, Community Relations and Events coordinator with the City of Renton. This year’s theme is “Shake, Waddle and Roll!” The community festival features events for kids, arts and crafts, recreation, food and stage entertainment in Liberty and Cedar River Park. There will be community information booths and the Nibble of Renton, featuring local restaurants. And though there is presently construction going on at the downtown library, contractors have agreed to re-open the library’s pedestrian bridge for the festival weekend, allowing visitors to park in the 200 Mill Avenue lot and cross at the library to get to the park. Things got started already this week with a golf tournament and the annual Senior Day on Thursday - and of course the “specquackular” window displays downtown, but the full festival really gets rolling today when the gates open. Even before the main fes-

FILE PHOTO tival, the annual Renton Art Show opens its doors at 10 a.m. Friday at the Renton Community Center. There will be a live and juried art show with works available for sale. The show runs through the weekend. At 11 a.m. River Days officially begins as the Art Market at Gianini Stadium at Liberty Park opens with about 80 booths, as does the Nibble of Renton, with foods from local restaurants and caterers. According to Mejlaender, this year’s lineup of 12 food vendors is the most ever for the festival. “There’s lots of variety for folks to come down to the park and enjoy,” she said.

Mejlaender also said this year’s stage lineup is “the most diverse lineup ever” with more than 400 performers in about 50 groups gracing the festival’s two stages. The Wenatchee Youth Circus also returns this year with a pair of shows on Friday at 1:30 and 6 p.m. at Cedar River Park, over by the Henry Moses Aquatic Center. The circus will also perform at 1:30 p.m. Saturday. Tickets to the performance are $2 for adults and $1 for kids under 18.

Sunday brings a display of plug-in and electric vehicles from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and a gathering of BMW’s at Cedar River Park. And, of course, it all culminates in the Rubber Ducky Derby, scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Sunday at the Houser Street Bridge. Thousand of little yellow quackers will race down the river for valuable prizes. This event is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Renton. Throughout the festival, there will be a non-stop shuttle running from Renton Memorial Stadium on Logan Avenue to the park. The shuttle will be free. Renton River Days also hosts tennis and golf tournaments and free fun for kids, all paid for by sponsors. For more information, visit www.rentonriverdays.org. Additional reporting by Brian Beckley.

The replacement span will be built next summer. In 2011, a structural review rated the Riverview Park Bridge’s substructure in “poor condition.” The city in 2013 received a direct appropriation of $1,067,000 from the state Legislature to replace the bridge. During construction, the parking lot will be closed. The restroom at Riverview Park will be closed until the new bridge is constructed. Access to the park will be available via the Cedar River Trail from Maplewood Roadside Park as well as the NARCO property. The bridge, a 12-footwide, 120-foot span over the Cedar River along the Maple Valley Highway, was

The Riverview Park Bridge over the Cedar River will be replaced in the next year with a single-span metal bridge that will not have pilings in the water. BRIAN BECKLEY, Renton Reporter acquired in the 1970s and connects the parking lot on the north side of the river to the 11-acre park and trail system on the south side. Additional work was done to the bridge in 1993 to add handrails and signage and then in 2005 the piles were reinforced and the decking was replaced with concrete. But the old bridge is supported by piles sunk into the river, as well as concrete abutments,

which makes it vulnerable to debris that routinely comes down the river during high-water flood and seasonal melting events. The replacement bridge will be single span and have a grated surface to allow for better sunlight penetration to the water below. It will be made of steel and there will be no piles in the water. In addition, some habitat restoration will take place, removing some invasive species along the

river bank and replacing them with native plants that will further encourage insects, a key food of the salmon that run up the river each fall. Construction for the new bridge is scheduled during July and August in 2015. To comment on this story view it online at www. rentonreporter.com.

Salvation Army low on supplies, will be collecting food at River Days booth BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

The Salvation Army is asking the community for support yet again during Renton River Days. Its food bank is once again low on supplies and representatives will be collecting canned food at the IKEA Renton River Days Art Market throughout the festival. “This year it’s been a little less,” said Beverly Storey, of the Salvation Army, about supplies and donations. “Since they’ve cut the SNAP program, which was supplemental to the food stamps, since then our numbers have just increased a little bit, but our donations haven’t increased.” Those that the Salvation Army serves are noticing they are not getting as much in food stamps or from the government’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program anymore, she said. “Those who may not have needed to use the food bank before find themselves needing to because the food stamps have been cut,” said Storey. It amounts to about $60 to $70 additional for groceries every month, she said. The Salvation Army is also getting less donations from area grocery stores because of higher food prices and the economy. Local grocery stores usually take good care of the Salvation Army with donations, but those two factors, Storey said, are weighing on their supply of donations to them. “So the grocery stores aren’t ordering as much, so there’s not as much left over to give programs like ours,” she said. “So because the grocery stores have taken a hit, we have too.” The Salvation Army does appreciate all the help and support it gets from the community each time it’s asked, said Storey. The canned food will be used at River Days to create

● QUOTE OF NOTE:

“Everything that I really care about is still here.“ Eric Warner, on how he and his wife Whitney lost all their worldly possessions in an apartment fire

We need to listen to what our planet is trying to tell us Being Frank is the monthly opinion column that was written for many years by the late Billy Frank Jr., Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission chairman. To honor him, the treaty Indian tribes in Western Washington will continue to share their perspectives on natural resources management through this column. This month’s writer is Ed Johnstone, treasurer of the NWIFC and Natural Resources Policy Spokesperson for the Quinault Indian Nation. Our planet is talking to us, and we better pay attention. It’s telling us that our climate and oceans are changing for the worse and that every living thing will be affected. The signs are everywhere. The only solution is for all of us to work together harder to meet these challenges. We are seeing many signs of climate change. Our polar ice caps and glaciers are melting and sea levels are rising. Winter storms are becoming more frequent and fierce, threatening our homes and lives. It is believed that we are witnessing a fundamental change in ocean and wind circulation patterns. In the past, cold water full of nutrients would upwell from deep in the ocean, mix with oxygen-rich water near the surface, and aid the growth of phytoplankton that provides the foundation for a for a strong marine food chain that includes all of us. The change in wind and ocean patterns is causing huge amounts of marine plants to die and decompose, rapidly using up available oxygen in the water. The result is a massive low oxygen dead zone of warmer waters off the coasts of Washington and Oregon that is steadily growing bigger, researchers say. Large fish kills caused by low oxygen levels are becoming common, at times leaving thousands of dead fish, crab and other forms of sea life lining our beaches. Low oxygen levels and higher water temperatures are also contributing to a massive outbreak of sea star wasting syndrome all along the West Coast. It starts with white sores and ultimately causes the star fish to disintegrate. While outbreaks have been documented in the past, nothing on the scale we are seeing now has ever been recorded. We are also seeing basic changes in the chemistry of our oceans. Our atmosphere has been steadily polluted with carbon dioxide for hundreds of years. When that carbon dioxide is absorbed by the ocean, those waters become more acidic and inhospitable to marine life. Young oysters, for example, are dying because the increasingly acidic water prevents them from growing shells. Researchers say that ocean acidification could also amplify the effects of climate change. Because we live so closely with our natural world, indigenous people are on the front line of climate change and ocean acidification. That is part of the reason that native people from throughout the Pacific region were to gather in Washington, D.C., in July for our second First Stewards Symposium. Tribal leaders, scientists and others will examine how native people and their cultures have adapted to climate change Ed Johnstone

The officer asked whether the 17-yearold really wanted to do that, considering he was being contacted about the explosion of an illegal M-80 on July 4. “Yes,” he said. His girlfriend snapped the photo and agreed to email it to the officer’s work email. The “selfie” is in evidence and was used to compare the teen to the suspect caught on a security camera just before the flash of the M-80 exploding in a garage on Southeast Second Place.

Twenty-two Rainier Youth Choir singers, six parent chaperones and RYC Artistic Director and Founder Leora Schwitters all took in the sights and sounds of the French Quarter attending the Crescent City Choral Festival, hosted by the New Orleans Children’s Chorus, June 26 to July 1. All the choirs involved were chosen by audition to participate in the festival. As part of the festival, singers enjoyed a night with dinner, dancing and bowling at Fulton Alley, a release stated. The festival culminated with a fabulous concert in St. Louis Cathedral, the oldest United States Catholic cathedral in continual use, and a two-hour dinner cruise of the mighty Mississippi River aboard the historic Steamboat Natchez. Hearing the combined choirs was glorious in the incredible acoustics of St. Louis Cathedral. Russell Johnson, a 16 year-old RYC singer from Kent, shared that one of his favorite parts was listening to the various jazz bands jamming on the streets. “The trip was amazing with so much history and culture packed in. The best part was how nice everyone was everywhere we went,” said Tyson Powell, also from Kent. While in New Orleans, RYC members toured the historic French Quarter, from Royal Street to Jackson Square and the French Market. Members visited the Presbytere, which houses a compelling Hurricane Katrina Exhibit, and a historical Mardi Gras exhibit. A highlight of the trip was a visit to the New Orleans School of Cooking that combined Louisiana history with cooking lessons and a delicious meal of local cuisine. Other high points include street musicians performing in front of the Presbytere, and a ghost tour of the French Quarter at dusk. Before returning home, RYC members enjoyed a swamp tour, complete with alligator sightings, in the Jean Lafitte National Historic Park and Nature Preserve. Joel Sigrist, 16 year-old RYC singer from Renton, said, “Everyone in New Orleans was approachable and friendly and they were really interested in us as a choir. We talked with an art gallery owner for a while and he asked us to sing for him and so we did. It was really cool.”

They also learned the assault had occurred a short distance away. According to court documents, entering Renton officers could smell a strong odor of gasoline in a Renton apartment on Martin Luther King Way. There were burn marks on the couch in the living room and they found a gasoline can. Phillips was transported to Harborview Medical Center, where he was in critical but stable condition. He may require surgery to repair his damaged skin. Large chunks of skin were peeling down his face and upper chest when officers arrived at the store. Renton Police asked for the public’s help locating Hedman. She was arrested by members of Renton Police Department special-operations officers the night of July 17. Hedman admitted to buying gasoline because she intended to set her husband on fire. Shooting him, she told investigators, would be too nice. According to court documents, she intended to light Phillips on fire because she claims he had molested a relative.

to be built for the long haul. On top of that, no one at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center, the Renton facility the Seahawks call home, is slacking. “Right now I definitely believe we’re further ahead (than last year),” quarterback Russell Wilson said during this year’s minicamp in June. “It’s exciting. You have an itch because you know how to do it at a very high level and the best part about it is we can continue to do it better.”

e in the Pacific Northwest knew it from the beginning, but as the Seattle Seahawks and their top-ranked defense made their way through the NFL last year like a hot knife through butter, the buzz surrounding the team seemed to stay low. All through the season and the playoffs, the Seahawks were downplayed and ignored by popular media and national talking heads. That is until the “underdog” Hawks scored 12 seconds into Super Bowl XLVII and never looked back, blasting the favored Denver Broncos 43-8 and bringing the Vince Lombardi Trophy to Seattle for the first time in the franchise’s history. This season, however, the cat is out of the bag and no one is overlooking the Seahawks. This year, the team has a target on their back as they attempt to repeat as NFL champions. But don’t worry, last year’s Super Bowl champs were the youngest team ever to win a title. At an average of 26 years and 162 days old at the time of the game, the Hawks appear

Supplement to Renton Reporter • July 25, 2014

Despite beginning just his third year in the pros, Wilson has emerged as the team’s leader on the offensive side of the ball. Already, the young quarterback is breaking records and the sky appears to be the limit for him and the Seahawks. At just 25 years and 65 days old, Wilson became the third-youngest starter ever to win a Super Bowl and his 28 total victories are the most in NFL history to begin a career. In the postseason, Wilson also shines. His 4-1 record and quarterback rating of 102 during the postseason ranks him second in history among quarterbacks in their first [ more AGAIN page S2 ]

five postseason starts. And if things get a little hairy off the bat? No problem for Wilson, who is already building a reputation as a comeback kid, thanks to four - count them FOUR - fourth-quarter comebacks last season, including two on the road. In just two seasons as the Seahawks starting quarterback, Wilson has led 10 fourth-quarter comebacks, ranking second-most ever for a quarterback in their his two seasons. But it’s not just Wilson that opposing defenses will need to worry about. Taking the ball from Wilson this season will once again be Marshawn “Beast Mode” Lynch, who set a career-high in 2013 with 14 total touchdowns. Lynch is the only player in the NFL to score 10 rushing touchdowns and rack up more than 1,000 yards in each of the past three seasons. Lynch also leads the NFL with 19 100yard games since 2011 and in that time he also leads the league with 39 total touchdowns (35 rushing, four receiving). But like last year, the Seattle Seahawks look to be led by their top-ranked defense and the world-famous Legion of Boom secondary corps, headed by all-pro Richard Sherman. Sherman, whose last-second tip in the NFC Championship game put the Seahawks in the Super Bowl, is looking to improve on his league-leading eight interceptions, four of which came in his last three games. Sherman also led the team with 19 passes defensed. His 20 interceptions and 60 passes defensed since 2011 lead the NFL and earned Sherman a big, new long-term contract in Seattle during the offseason. Sherman wasn’t the only member of the Legion to re-sign in the offseason. Safety

Earl Thomas, another Pro-Bowler who had a career-high tying five picks in 2013 and a career-high 100 tackles, also signed a new, four-year contract and continues to patrol the backfield at CenturyLink Field for the foreseeable future. The Legion’s other two members are also locked up for at least this year. Safety Kam Chancellor, described as “the hardest hitting safety in the NFL at 6’3” and 232 pounds,” signed a four-year extension in 2013. He had nine tackles and an interception in last year’s Super Bowl. The fourth member of the Legion, Byron Maxwell, is headed into his fourth professional season and second as a starter. Maxwell forced a fumble in the third quarter of the Super Bowl, recovered by Super Bowl MVP Malcolm Smith, effectively ending the Broncos chances of coming back. Smith, also entering his fourth season as

a linebacker with the Seahawks, is also back for more this year. All together, the Legion of Boom was the NFL’s top-ranked passing defense last year as they allowed only 172 yards per game and led the Seahawks to an NFL-best 28 interceptions last year. In total, the Seahawks defense dominated the NFL last season and gave up 231 points all of last season, an average of 14.4 per game, to lead the NFL. The Seahawks also led the league with a +20 turnover differential as the defense forced a leagueleading 39 turnovers while the offense only coughed it up 19 times. On the defensive line, Michael Bennett and Cliff Avril led the team in sacks, 8.5 and 8, respectively, adding to the Seahawks overall total off 44, good enough for eighthbest in the NFL. But beyond the players on the field,

the Seahawks secret weapon is, of course, the 12th Man, the fans who last year set multiple records for crowd noise and whose support means that every game at CenturyLink Field this season is already sold out. Thanks in part to the fans, Seattle won all but one game last year after going undefeated the year before at the CLink. In the past two seasons, Seattle’s point differential at home is +271 with a +25 turnover margin. In addition, since 2005, the Seattle Seahawks lead the league in opponent false start penalties with 132 in 72 games. All together, the team and fans had a great ride last season, from training camp in Renton through an opening day win in Carolina to Sherman’s NFC Championshipsaving deflection to the amazing victory parade in February. And boy does that trophy look good here in Seattle. Let’s do it again.

Plenty of superlatives for the Hawks after a good minicamp BY EVERETT HERALD STAFF

As the dust settles on the offseason and teams get ready for the start of the 2014 campaign, the Seattle Seahawks are among the teams sizing up their new personnel headed into the season. With the conclusion of last month’s three-day minicamp, the Seahawks wrapped up a month of offseason workouts that kicked off preparation for what they hope will be a successful Super Bowl title defense. Players then scattered around the country and were on their own for five weeks, but as they all reconvene in Renton for the start of training camp, let’s look back at the past month of organized team activities and minicamps. Call it our offseason superlatives. One disclaimer before we dive into this. I focused almost entirely on young, up-and-coming players for this column. You don’t need me telling you that Earl Thomas, one of the best defensive players in the NFL, looked good in minicamp. Nor is it worth worrying about the multiple interceptions Russell Wilson threw in the last couple days of workouts — he’ll be fine. Instead, let’s look at the players who made an impression during the past month. Most impressive rookie — WR Kevin Norwood. Paul Richardson, the receiver Seattle picked two rounds ahead of Norwood, has the wow factor; defensive end Cassius Marsh was incredibly impressive in limited action; and tackle Justin Britt has arguably the best shot of earning a starting job as a rookie, but Norwood is my choice here because he was the most consistent performer. Receiver is one of the tougher positions for a rookie to adjust to, and when you factor in Seattle’s secondary, excelling in practice

Quarterback Russell Wilson prepares to lead the offense through a drill under the watchful eye of Head Coach Pete Carroll during the team’s minicamp in June at the VMAC. BRIAN BECKLEY, Renton Reporter becomes that much more difficult. However, day in and day out, Norwood was coming up with difficult catches and looked nothing like a rookie. Seattle has missed on receivers in the fourth round twice before — Kris Durham and Chris Harper — but Norwood looks like a player ready to make an immediate impact. Most impressive redshirt — CB Tharold Simon. Pete Carroll and his coaching staff like to refer to the group of second and third-year players who missed last season with

injuries as their redshirt class, and those players are a big reason Carroll thinks his 2014 team can be every bit as good as the Super Bowl champion squad despite losing a number of key players. There are several good choices for this one, from linebacker Korey Toomer to defensive linemen Jesse Williams, Jordan Hill and Greg Scruggs. But the player who might have made the best impression out of the “redshirt class” was cornerback Tharold Simon, who came into this offseason as a complete unknown. Simon barely took the field in rookie minicamp last year before a foot injury sidelined him, and he never practiced again with the Seahawks in 2013. Yet throughout OTAs and minicamp, the 6-foot-3 Simon looked every bit like a player who fits right in with the rest of Seattle’s talented, rangy defensive backs. In particular, Simon, a fifth-round pick last year, was the star of an OTA session in which Richard Sherman took a day off, coming up with two interceptions while playing with the first-team defense. While passing Bryon Maxwell on the depth chart for a starting job seems unlikely, Simon looks like a very strong option as a backup to Sherman and Maxwell, and a viable starting option down the road (Maxwell is a free [ more SUPERLATIVES page S7 ]

The road to repeat Seattle SeahAwks 2014 schedule

Week 1, Sept. 4 (Thursday) Green Bay Packers (2013 Record: 8-7-1; first place NFC North)

Week 12, Nov. 23 Arizona Cardinals (2013 Record: 10-6; third place NFC West)

The Green Bay Packers return to CenturyLink Field for the first time since the Seahawks defeated the Pack 14-12 in a controversial Monday Night Game during the 2012 season in which Russell Wilson threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Golden Tate on the final play of the game. Last year the Packers saw their season come to an end with an NFC Wild Card game loss to San Francisco.

The Cardinals may have a 16-14 series advantage with the Seahawks, but Seattle has a 9-7 edge on games played in Seattle, including an 8-4 record at the stadium now known as CenturyLink Field. Wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald will lead Arizona against Richard Sherman and the Seahawks. Sherman has six interceptions in five starts against Fitzgerald.

Week 2, Sept. 14 at San Diego Chargers (2013 Record: 9-7; third place AFC West) The Seahawks beat the Chargers 27-20 in Seattle during their last meeting in 2010. In that game, Leon Washington set a Seahawks record by returning kickoffs 101 and 99 yards. The Seahawks have won 11 of 14 meetings against San Diego.

Week 3, Sept. 21 Denver Broncos (2013 Record: 13-3; first place AFC West) The Seahawks welcome the Denver Broncos to CenturyLink Field in a muchanticipated rematch of Super Bowl XXVIII, which Seattle won 43-8. The Broncos are led by Peyton Manning who set an NFL record last year for touchdowns. During the offseason the Broncos solidified their defense.

Week 5, Oct. 6 (Monday) at Washington Redskins (2013 Record: 3-13; fourth place NFC East) After a disappointing 2013 campaign, the Redskins are looking to rebound this season. Washington has won the last six regular season games against the Seahawks, but Seattle has a three-game winning streak in the post-season, including a 24-14 victory in 2012.

Week 6, Oct. 12 Dallas Cowboys (2013 Record: 8-8; second place NFC East) In their last meeting, during week 2 of the 2012 season, the Seahawks beat the Cowboys 27-7 at CenturyLink Field. The Cowboys this season are again led by Tony Romo, who has a dismal record at the CLink, including a 2006 playoff loss in which Romo fumbled the snap on a potential game-winning field goal.

Week 7, Oct. 19 at St. Louis Rams (2013 Record: 7-9; fourth place NFC West) The Seahawks are 8-7 at St. Louis, but during week 8 of last season the Rams gave the Hawks quite a scare. Seattle was able to escape with a 14-9 win after cornerback Brandon Browner tipped a fourth-down pass incomplete in the end zone on the last play of the game.

The road back to the Super Bowl will not be an easy one for the defending champs. This season, the Seahawks face the sixth most-difficult schedule of all teams in football. Seahawks opponents posted a .561 winning percentage in 2013. The season gets under way Sept. 4 at home with the ultimate goal of playing in Super Bowl XLIX on Feb. 1, 2015 at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.

Week 8, Oct. 26 at Carolina Panthers (2013 Record: 12-4; first place NFC South) The Seahawks return to the site of their 2013 opening day victory, a 12-7 win over the eventual NFC South Champs. Carolina lost in the Divisional Playoff round to the 49ers. Last season, the Panthers held opponents to just 15.1 points, second behind the Seahawks.

Week 9, Nov. 2 Oakland Raiders (2013 Record: 4-12; fourth place AFC West) The Seahawks have not played their old AFC West rivals since 2010, when the Raiders ran for 239 yards in a 33-3 win over Seattle in Oakland. Since playing in the 2002 Super Bowl, the Raiders have not had a winning season and have started 16 different quarterbacks.

Week 10, Nov. 9 New York Giants (2013 Record: 7-9; third place NFC East) The Giants will be looking to avenge an embarrassing 23-0 loss at home to the Seahawks in week 15. Last season, the Legion of Boom had Quarterback Eli Manningâ€™s number, picking him off five times in that game. The 12th Man will also be looking to repeat their 2005 performance in which the Giants were penalized 11 times for false starts.

Week 11, Nov. 16 Kansas City Chiefs (2013 Record: 11-5; second place AFC West) Under new Head Coach Andy Reid, the Chiefs went out to the hottest start in football last season before struggling through the second half. The last time the Seahawks played the Chiefs, back in 2010, Kansas City played to a 42-24 victory. Leading rusher Jamaal Charles led the NFL last season with 19 touchdowns.

Week 13, Nov. 27 (Thursday) at San Francisco 49ers (2013 Record: 12-4; second place NFC West) The Seahawks head to Leviâ€™s Stadium for the first of two games in three weeks against their division rivals. The Niners handed the Seahawks a 19-17 loss during a week 14 visit to San Francisco last year. With both teams among the favorites to make the Super Bowl this season, this will be a game to watch and a true test for Seattle.

Week 14, Dec. 7 Philadelphia Eagles (2013 Record: 10-6; first place NFC East) The Philadelphia Eagles finished the year atop the NFC East, but lost to the New Orleans Saints in the Wild Card round of the playoffs. In their last meeting, the Seahawks beat the Eagles 31-14 during a 2011 game in Seattle. The Eagles are led by second-year quarterback Nick Foles and NFL-leading rusher LeSean McCoy.

Week 15, Dec. 14 San Francisco 49ers (2013 Record: 12-4; second place NFC West) In what has become one of the premiere matchups in the NFL, the 49ers return to CenturyLink field for the first time since losing the NFC Championship game on a last-second knockdown in the end zone by Richard Sherman. Though the series is tied at 15-15, the Seahawks have a 9-7 advantage in Seattle.

Week 16, Dec. 21 at Arizona Cardinals (2013 Record: 10-6; third place NFC West) The Seahawks travel to Arizona, where the Cardinals have a 9-5 edge in the series. The last time the teams played in Arizona, week 7 last year, the Seahawks sacked Arizona quarterback Carson Palmer seven times and picked him off twice on their way to a 34-22 win.

Week 17, Dec. 28 St. Louis Rams (2013 Record: 7-9; fourth place NFC West) The Seahawks end their 2014 campaign at home against the division-rival Rams. The Seahawks lead the series 20-11 and are 12-4 in Seattle, including an 11-1 record at their current stadium. Seattle beat the Rams 27-9 in the final week of the season last year to secure home field advantage in the postseason.

agent after this season). Most impressive position group — Linebacker. OK, so the secondary might have been the best group throughout camp (big surprise), but that’s also way too easy of a choice. Instead, we’ll go with linebacker, the overlooked position of the defense last season, and a group that looks poised to make a name for itself in 2014. Seemingly day after day, linebackers were making plays, even with Bruce Irvin and Malcolm Smith sidelined by surgeries. And it wasn’t just the usual suspects like K.J. Wright and Bobby Wagner. Korey Toomer looks like a big-time playmaker if he can only find a way to get on the field. Mike Morgan more than held his own working as the first-team strongside linebacker. Rookie Kevin Pierre-Louis is as athletic as advertised. This is potentially the deepest position group on the roster. “Us as linebackers, we’re really trying to stand out,” Wagner said. “I love the D-line, and the secondary gets a lot of talk, but you will talk about the linebackers this year.” Position group that was a pleasant surprise — Wide Receiver. With Golden Tate leaving in free agency and Sidney Rice recovering from knee surgery, the Seahawks came into offseason workouts with few proven pass catchers beyond Doug Baldwin,

Jermaine Kearse and Percy Harvin, and Harvin was injured for almost all of last season. But with Harvin healthy and once again running past everyone, and with rookies Norwood and Richardson showing plenty of potential, this group, despite the loss of last year’s leading receiver, suddenly looks very deep and promising. Or as Baldwin might put it, there is nothing pedestrian about this group. It’s particularly fun to imagine Harvin and Richardson on the field together at the same time with their blazing speed. “It is a really fast group,” Carroll said. “It’s really exciting to see the guys catch the ball well, too … There’s nothing like being fast, that kind of speed, so we’re really excited about it.” However, all of this excitement about the rookie receivers needs to come with one caveat — after quarterback, receiver might be the hardest position for rookies to make the leap from college to the NFL. You could easily find as many if not more glowing reports on Golden Tate in 2010 as there have been about Norwood and Richardson this summer, yet Tate struggled to even get on the field as a rookie. Player who helped himself the most — G James Carpenter. Carpenter couldn’t hold down a starting job last season, splitting

time with Paul McQuistan all year, then the Seahawks decided not to pick up the fifthyear option on the former first-round pick this offseason. So to say Carpenter has a lot to prove in 2014 is something of an understatement, and so far he’s off to a good start. While most were expecting Carpenter to be fighting somebody for a starting spot, offensive line coach Tom Cable has made it pretty clear that the left guard job is Carpenter’s. That likely has a lot to do with Carpenter coming into offseason workouts in the best shape he has been in since Seattle took him with the 25th pick in the 2011 draft. Carpenter still has a long ways to go to live up to that draft status, but if he can build off this encouraging offseason, a position that was a big question mark last year could turn into a strength for Seattle without adding a player. Nice to see you out there — WR Percy Harvin. We knew Harvin got through the Super Bowl healthy, so it was expected that he would be available for offseason workouts. But even if it was expected, Harvin’s presence on the practice field is a very welcome sight for the Seahawks. When Seattle acquired Harvin in 2013, he was something of a luxury acquisition, which was evident in the fact that they got to the Super Bowl with almost no contributions from him because of a hip injury. But with Tate in

Detroit and Rice a question mark because of his knee, the Seahawks offense will need to get a lot more out of Harvin in 2014. Still have work left to do — QB Terrelle Pryor and S/CB Eric Pinkins. It’s wildly premature to say anyone is struggling or a bust before training camp has even started, especially players new to the team. However, Pryor and Pinkins are two players who at first glance have some work to do in order to make the 53-man roster. Pryor, a parttime starter in Oakland, has undeniable ability, and he showed considerable growth from the first session of OTAs to last week’s minicamp, but he still has progress to make if he’s going to beat Tavaris Jackson for the backup job or convince the Seahawks that it’s worth keeping three quarterbacks on the roster. Pinkins, a sixth-round pick out of San Diego State, was a safety in college, but the Seahawks said when they picked him that they saw him as a cornerback. It didn’t take long for the Seahawks to move Pinkins back to safety — he was done playing cornerback by the third day of rookie minicamp. As a safety, he was struggling to get reps with the second-team defense. Pinkins has plenty of time to either show he can adjust to cornerback or improve his status on the depth chart at safety, but like Pryor, he will have work to do in camp to earn a roster spot.

End of July is time to check on your fading hanging baskets THE COMPLEAT HOME GARDENER

Marianne Binetti

Near the end of July you may notice your hanging baskets and container gardens fading a bit. This could be because the roots have filled up all the space in the container so the pots now need a lot more water. Most hanging baskets will need water every day by mid-summer, sometimes twice a day if the weather is very warm. You should also dead head and remove all the faded blooms and if you have not been fertilizing every few weeks, now is the time to mix up a water soluble plant food and give your bloomers a shot of nutrients.

I love your show Dig In Seattle on TV. You showed a really interesting plant with long strands of red flowers and it had a very unusual name that I have somehow forgotten. Do you know what plant I am asking about? L.M., Enumclaw First, thanks for watching the show. That plant was the romantically inspired “Love Lies Bleed-

I know I am supposed to dead head or remove the faded blooms from my hanging basket but what about the tiny flowers from plants like lobelia? Do I really have to cut off all those spent flowers? J.P., Buckley No worries, most plants with small blooms will be self-cleaning and the faded petals will fall on their own. Fuchsias are an example of a plant that will produce more blooms if you remove the flower and the fat green seed pot just behind the bloom. If you leave these pods on the plant they will darken as they begin to ripen the seed inside and this saps the energy of the plant so that flower production slows down. Fuchsias

prefer a balanced plant food with the numbers 20-20-20 on the label to keep pumping out maximum flowers.

Is it true that you should never fertilize a plant with dry soil? I am supposed to water the plants for my neighbors while they are on vacation. W.H., Enumclaw Drink before food is the general rule of green thumb because a plant suffering from drought and looking a bit wilted can suck in the fertilizer water so fast that the tips of the leaves can turn brown or burn. To really pamper your potted plants give them just a tiny pinch of plant food mixed into a watering can every time you water. The easy way to keep nutrient levels constant for potted plants is to use a slow-release plant food.

ing” because those unusual flower clusters drip down from the center of the plant. It is also called the “chenille plant” because of the fuzzy texture and “summer poinsettia” due to the deep red color. Some plants have many different common names so this is why you should look for the seeds by using the Latin name Amaranthus. Follow the instructions on the seed pack and you’ll be able to grow this ancient edible plant in your own garden with little problems.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. 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 delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g 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.

‘The Wedding Singer’ summer teen musical opens Aug. 1 at Renton Civic BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

If it wasn’t for the Renton Civic Theatre’s Summer Teen Musical, 15-year-old Audrey Montague would not have an outlet for her acting pursuits. “I just love the environment of working with teens and stuff because I go to an online high school, so I don’t have a lot of socializing with friends,” she said. Montague is one of 20 students in this summer’s production of “The Wedding Singer,” and plays one of the main character’s, Julia. The production opens August 1 and runs through August 10 at Renton Civic Theatre. It tells the tale of Robbie Hart, New Jersey’s favorite wedding singer, who is left at the alter by his fiancee. He later falls for the “winsome” Julia, who is about to get married to a Wall Street shark — unless Robbie can do something about it. “My favorite way to describe Julia is a goofball,” said Montague. “She’s just so, like, all over the place and she loves everything. She’s just so much fun.” Nineteen-year-old Kiera Stevens plays some minor parts in “The Wedding Singer” and Julia’s mom. This is her sixth and final summer with the program. She calls the Summer Teen Musical program her “family” and “home.” “A program can change a lot throughout a long time,” said Stevens. “There’s been a lot of bad stuff with a lot of the shows and a lot of really good stuff with the shows. No two shows have been the same even with the same director. It changes a lot depending on the dynamic of the directors.” Stevens wants to join the staff of the program after she graduates from it, but for now she’s pursuing a double major in psychology and theatre at Pacific Lutheran University. “One of the great things about this program is that we get to hire professional theatre people to work with the kids,” said Vincent Orduna, director. “The tragedy about that is their professional life interrupts.” “The Wedding Singer” was chosen this year by professional actor Matthew

Posner, but he got called away to San Diego to do “Les Miserables.” Orduna, who’s been with the program for 16 years doing artistic oversight, stepped in about a month-and-ahalf ago. “For the kids as well as getting their own educational component, they get to work with people

who can actually talk to them about what it’s like to be a working performer,” Orduna said. “And I think that’s one of the unique things about our program.” Orduna has never seen the movie made famous by Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, but said he fell in love with the script and the kids are having a blast

performing it. About half of the student actors are local; a lot coming from Fairwood and Renton and others from Newcastle and Bellevue. “The Wedding Singer” opens Aug. 1 and runs through Aug. 10. For show times and ticket information visit www.rentoncivictheatre.org

Renton real estate agent faces charges in boating death The seven passengers aboard a sailboat going 1 or 2 knots on a windless Lake Washington yelled and waved their arms as a 25-foot powerboat bore down on them. Richard Anthony Hicks, 46, of Renton didn’t hear the yelling or see the sailboat until he was too close to avoid a collision at about 10:30 p.m. July 16, county prosecutors write in charging documents. Just before impact, he swerved to the left and yelled “no lights,” his fiancee and mother who were onboard told investigators. The powerboat went over the starboard rear corner of the sailboat, tossing Seattle school teacher Melissa Protz into the lake. She died of massive injuries to her head and body, according to the King County Medical Examiner’s Office. Hicks, a real-estate agent, was charged Monday with homicide by watercraft and assault by watercraft. Two other passengers on the sailboat, including its operator, were injured. Bail was originally set at $500,000 but was reduced to $250,000 after one of the passengers was transferred from the intensive-care unit at Harborview Medical Center and the other one released from the hospital. Hicks was released Tuesday night from the King County Jail in Seattle after posting bail. Arraignment is 8:30 a.m. Aug. 4 in courtroom 1201 of the King County Courthouse in Seattle. According to court documents, Seattle Police investigators determined that Hicks was driving at a reckless speed and under the influence of alcohol. He should have known not to operate a motorboat at a high rate of speed because of the likelihood of sailboats and other boats on the water, according to documents. July 16 was a hot sunny day on Lake Washington. Hicks and his three passengers spent the day on the lake, boating and swimming. They ate dinner at about 7:30 p.m. at Chandler’s restaurant in Seattle. Hick’s fiancee told investigators she and Hicks each had one drink while boating and one at the restaurant, according to charging documents. After dinner, they headed for the boat launch at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park in Renton. At first, the boat’s speed

was “fairly slow.” Then Hicks sped up so his boat was planing; another boater estimated his speed at 45 mph. Not far away, about 1,000 feet off Seattle’s Leschi neighborhood, the sailboat was slowly making its way to a dock, powered only by an electric trolling motor. It, too, had been on the lake all day; but now the wind was gone. The sailboat did not have working lights or navigation lights, according to charging documents. At a speed of 1 or 2 knots, it would take about an hour to get to shore. At about 10:36 p.m., Shreedhar Madhavapeddi, who was operating the 22 1/2-foot sailboat and was severely injured in the collision, and his passengers spotted the motorboat. They yelled but those on the motorboat didn’t hear or see them. After the collision, another boater towed the sailboat to the Leschi fishing pier on Lake Washington Boulevard. The motorboat was towed to shore by a Seattle Police Department Harbor Unit craft. Hicks denied drinking any alcohol; an officer could smell the odor of alcohol coming from a patrol car and on Hicks’ breath, according to charging documents. His eyes were watery and his speech was slurred. Hicks wouldn’t submit to field sobriety tests. He was arrested; a warrant was obtained to test his blood-alcohol level. Midweek, investigators were waiting for the results of the tests. According to charging documents, Hicks is a “repeat driving under the influence (DUI) offender.” Prosecutors list his criminal and traffic history: 1989 negligent driving; 1990 DUI amended to negligent driving; 1991 DUI given a deferred sentence, completed conditions and it was dismissed; 2002 DUI amended to reckless driving; 2011, speeding with two open containers was deferred dismissed, and 2013, speeding amended to inattentive driving. He also has three driving with license suspended convictions and three failure to appear. Melissa Ann Protz taught sixth- and seventh-grade biology at Assumption-St. Bridget School in Seattle. Whether she was taking sea water from the ocean or keeping tomorrow’s experiment in the staff refrigerator, her main goal was bringing science to her students, according to her obituary. Her funeral was Wednesday in her hometown of Manitowoc, Wisc.

trucks from other local agencies were used to fight the brush fires in remote areas where full-sized fire engines can’t go, he said, playing a “critical role” in fighting the fire. They are the size of a pickup truck and carry their own pumps. Already, Wallgren said, there have been five or six brush fires along the BPA powerline. Fire crews were called in Saturday night to watch for brush fires, he said. Firefighters were on the scene of the main fire on Sunday, too. The Regency Woods fire is similar to two other major Renton fires in recent years, one in downtown Renton and one at an unfinished condominium project on Harrington Avenue in the Highlands, that required an “extraordinary amount of resources to control and mitigate,” he said. The Regency Woods complex wasn’t equipped with sprinklers, which Wallgren said would have made a “significant difference” in the outcome of the fire. “Statistically, sprinklers save buildings,” he said. But sprinklers weren’t required when Regency Woods was built in 1968. Its 49 buildings underwent major remodeling starting in 2007 and completed in 2010, according to Greg Cerbana, a spokesman for Weidner Properties of Kirkland, which owns and manages the complex. Because of the size of the buildings, sprinklers weren’t required, Cerbana said. The fire destroyed a three-story, 12-unit building, which was then demolished, and heavily damaged two others. Sixteen of the 20 apartment units affected by the fire are a complete loss, Cerbana said. The fate of the other four remained to be seen as of midweek, he said. Residents were allowed inside one of the buildings, with an escort, to retrieve personal items, but that wasn’t the case for the other building, he said. Some apartments are available at Regency Woods for displaced tenants, he said. The American Red Cross was called in to help displaced residents, but it wasn’t necessary to open an emergency shelter because most residents found somewhere to stay, according to an American Red Cross spokesman. “Right now, we’re actively helping five families navigate the process,” spokesman Colin Downey said Monday.

Couple loses everything but what they ‘really care about’ BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

Whitney Warner was busy last Saturday, getting ready for her baby shower friends were putting on later in the day. As she stood in her kitchen fixing a salad, something just didn’t smell right. Something was wrong. The smell got worse. It was about 1:40 p.m. Eric, her husband, went outside to check. “When he didn’t come back inside to say that everything was OK, I knew something wasn’t quite right, so I came out and got hit by a wall of smoke,” Whitney Warner said. That “wall of smoke” was from a winddriven fire that was quickly engulfing three buildings of the Regency Woods apartment complex just off old Benson Road and would eventually displace 39 residents. When Eric stepped through the front door of his second-story apartment, dust blew into his face – at least he thought it was dust, blown by the wind. He walked down the stairs and out into the yard. A puff of black smoke furled around the corner of the building next to his. His step quickened. There were flames, about two feet tall. He looked at a fire extinguisher and then back again. The flames had doubled in size. “I realized I am not putting this thing out,” he said. He called 911. “At that moment I knew our place was going to be gone.” The roof of the three-story building was in flames in just six or seven minutes, he estimates. The first of numerous 911 calls was received at 1:46 p.m. The fire call was dispatched at 1:47 p.m. and a minute later crews from Renton’s

Eric and Whitney Warner stand in front of their second-story apartment that was destroyed by fire on Saturday. DEAN A. RADFORD, Renton Reporter Station 11 downtown and Station 13 on the Benson Highway were en route. Both stations are about equal distance away. At 1:54 p.m. Renton firefighters arrived at Regency Woods. They were soon joined by fire crews from a three-county area to fight the four-alarm fire – and keep it from spreading deeper into the 359-unit apartment complex. Already under way was a heart-pounding effort – sometimes heroic – to get residents and their pets to safety. Hit with the smoke, Whitney knew it was time to get everyone out of apartment, including parents and the couple’s two dogs, Bailey and Buster. There was no time to save anything else. “I never thought that would be the last

time I would be walking out of my house,” she said Monday. They headed straight for the parking lot but constantly moved to get away from the smoke that would come at them from different directions as the wind shifted. Eventually, they were forced across a field to another parking lot. “The heat coming off that fire was very intense,” Whitney said. Eric ran back up the stairs to the apartment to get the car cars. He moved vehicles and helped get people to safety. He could see his brother on the ground at the three-story building, catching a dog

that somebody was throwing out the second floor. The man then jumped out. “It was pretty intense,” Eric said. He saw a girl run from her apartment with a towel, wallet, phone and her underwear. That was a narrow escape, he said. Another resident told him he opened a window and saw black smoke. He ran out; all he had were the clothes he had been sleeping in. There was no time to grab his wallet or keys. “We were lucky. We had a minute or two more,” Eric said. The Warners, like others from the complex, are homeless, with nothing saved from inside their home. They went to the baby shower, “a great distraction,” Whitney said. But Sunday morning was “very emotional,” she said. “It had finally sunk in. This was not a sleepover.” They are staying with the friends who gave the baby shower. Liam, their first child, is due in September. The Warners are grateful for the support of family and friends – and strangers. And overwhelmed; Eric hasn’t had time to return all the phone calls. What they lost, Whitney said “were only items.” “We are living. We are breathing. I am in good health. Husband is in good health. Our dogs are in good health,” she said. “We all walked away.” Eric accumulated a lot of “toys” before his bachelorhood ended at 31. He lost them all and is starting over. But that’s OK. “Everything that I really care about is still here,” he said.
