State revokes license of Auburn man charged with raping senior 65-year-old woman at Renton facility is deaf, blind and disabled

BY BRIAN BECKLEY,

Tiffany Park appeal denied In 2014, a battle began over plans to build a 97-home development in the city’s Tiffany Park neighborhood on previously undeveloped 21.7-acre parcel of land owned by the school district that was used as green space by the community. Residents in the area formed the Tiffany Park Woods Advocacy Group and appealed the city’s determination of environmental non-significance in an attempt to halt the project. In January, the city’s hearing examiner rejected the group’s appeal on grounds that while the woods may have had recreational value, they are not subject to a

State Environmental Protection Act (SEPA) review and the developer does not have to maintain the woods or the view. TPWAG appealed the examiner’s decision before the City Council’s Planning and Development Committee, which found no substantial error in fact or law in the hearing examiner’s decision and recommended their findings to the full council in the regular council meeting later that evening. The decision ends the group’s ability to try and stop the project from going forward.

Kenyon-Dobson Property officially turned over to city After a seven-year wait and two years in the courts, a house and 2-acre parcel of land that was donated to the city as part of a bequest in 2008 was finally turned over to the city in February.

It’s hard to believe that another year has come and gone, but with 2016 upon us, it’s time to take a look into the rearview mirror at some of the stories that affected our readers this year. From the resignation of the Renton schools superintendent to the launch of a new line of 737s at the Boeing plant to the grand opening of the city’s new downtown library, 2015 had a little bit of everything. Here are some of the stories that we followed this year:

The state on Dec. 22 officially permanently revoked the credentials of an Auburn man charged with seconddegree rape of a disabled senior citizen in his care at a Renton facility. Samuel Kiranga Njuguna was charged in September with the rape of a 65-year-old woman in June. The woman is described in charging papers as deaf, blind and severely mentally disabled. Njuguna’s license was suspended following the charges. It has now been permanently revoked. According to charging documents, the victim suffered injuries consistent with rape that were discovered by another caregiver. An employee at the facility also found a condom wrapper in the trash, wrapped in latex gloves, that was turned over to detectives. DNA samples were collected from all of the male workers except Njuguna and all other workers were cleared by those results. Police located Njuguna in Portland and spoke to him by phone. He allegedly told police he would meet them in Renton, but never showed up. Further investigation revealed he had driven to Las Vegas where he attempted suicide and was admitted to a local hospital. Police contacted the hospital, but Njuguna had been released. However, police received a warrant for a DNA sample, which proved a match for the DNA on the condom found in the trash at the facility. Njuguna has no right to apply for reinstatement of his nursing assistant credential.

Looking for a cop? They’re right Nextdoor.com BY BRIAN BECKLEY, bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

The Renton Police Department is taking its crimefighting online in an attempt to better connect with residents through a new social media platform called Nextdoor. Designed as a private social network to allow people within specific areas to communicate with each other to help build stronger neighborhood connections, several of Renton’s neighborhoods have already become part of the service and are sharing information about crimes, resources and other local interests. Only members of certain groups - arranged by neighborhood - receive the shared information. But the company also allows agencies like police departments to join so they can get information out to residents easier, something the Renton Police Department has taken them up on beginning in December.

“It’s another avenue for us to get information out,” Commander David Leibman said last week. The department can also use the service to monitor crime trends, criminal activity, suspect and concerns of residents. Leibman said the police department also cannot see neighborhood posts, but their posts are visible across the entire city, not just a single neighborhood. Leibman said the department had already joined Facebook, but that is open to the public ,whereas Nextdoor gives them a tighter network to send and receive information. “This is a much more intimate website,” he said. “We have the ability to put out the relevant information to the people who really want to hear it.” So far, the department has shared a photo of an arson suspect, a notice of found property, car prowl prevention tips and news of a mail scam encountered by one of the officers, as well

as a photo of the police making a toy donation to the Salvation Army. Though only online for three weeks, Leibman said the response to the department’s page has been “enthusiastic” because of the immediate nature of the contact with the department. “It’s 2015, people expect to get instant information,” he said. “We want to have that immediacy.” The opening of the Nextdoor page is another step in increased public communication through social media and the department now has a dedicated social media person to handle Facebook, Twitter, Nextdoor and other online communication. “We want to be open,” Leibman said. “We’re a public entity.” For more information, visit www.nextdoor. com.

King County Sheriff ’s detectives are investigating a Sunday morning homicide that occurred just after 4 a.m. near South 126th Street and Renton Avenue South in Skyway. Detectives said a patrol officer was near the area and heard the shooting. The deputy drove to the scene and saw a red car partially in the roadway with the driver slumped over the wheel. Medics were called but were unable to resuscitate the man who appeared to have died from a gunshot wound. Witnesses told police two black men suspected to be the shooters were seen fleeing the area in a silver or gray Chevrolet Impala. No further description is available but will be released as police learn more information. Detectives are asking anyone that has information about this crime to call the King County Sheriff ’s Office at 206296-3311 or Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477).

The decision by Democratic state Rep. Hans Dunshee to seek a Snohomish County Council seat could help catapult Republicans into the majority in the House next fall. Dunshee’s selection is considered a slamdunk, even by others interested in the opening created when Dave Somers was elected county executive. It won’t happen immediately. Leaders of the county Democratic Party are stretching the appointment process to its calendar limits so Dunshee won’t be pressed into county service until after wrapping up his duties in Olympia in early March. His departure ensures the 44th Legislative District will be a key battleground in the fight for political control of the state House in 2016. Right now Democrats outnumber Republicans by the slimmest of margins, 50-48. Lose a seat and the two political parties will share power; two seats and the GOP will seize control for the first time since 1998. And Republicans like their chances in the 44th District. It is pretty evenly divided between Democratic and Republican voters and the GOP has won tough elections there. There was a battle royal in 2008 when Democratic Rep. Liz Loomis – who had been appointed to the seat earlier that year – lost to Republican challenger Mike Hope. That race, in which nearly $650,000 was spent by the two sides, ended with Hope winning by 118 votes. Republicans have held onto the seat with Rep. Mark Harmsworth of Mill Creek serving in it today. As of Wednesday, no Republican had announced their intention to run. Marysville Councilman Rob Toyer is a possible candidate. Toyer took on Dunshee in 2014 and lost, but not badly. He garnered 48.2 percent of the vote without conducting much of a campaign. He spent less than $10,000 while Dunshee shelled out nearly $170,000. Other possible candidates are Jim Kellett, a former county Republican Party leader who ran unsuccessfully for state Senate in 2014, and Chris Vallo, chairman of the 44th District Republicans who lost races for the County Council in 2013 and assessor in 2011. On the Democratic Party side, Dunshee’s decision opens the door for John Lovick to return to Olympia where he reigned with gavel in hand as Speaker Pro Tem. Lovick wants it. He started talking about it the same day he conceded the county executive’s race to Somers. And Lovick has been contacting precinct committee officers to seek their support for the appointment to Dunshee’s seat, once it’s vacant. Lovick’s selection would give the party a candidate that voters in the district know and have a history of supporting. Heck, a few might not even realize he ever left the LegisJerry Cornfield

● QUOTE OF NOTE:

Resolving to do resolution lists Resolutions are for people with goals, a plan and a purpose in life. Like the kid in the front row in third grade who always raised his hand because he knew the answer, and Mrs. Marsupial with her bride of Frankenstein mop would crack a scary smile and all the brats in the back would pretend to gag (not me of course — I never got in trouble). Resolutions are for the mature, the type of humanoids who are always on time and know how much money is in their checking accounts, and it’s not because the bank just sent a “you’re going to jail you bum” message. They make to-do lists and do things. My to-do list plan is to scribble a list with such poor penmanship that an hour later I will have no idea what any of the jobs and goals could possibly be. The only part of a to-do list that is important is making the list and bragging that you did it. I am sure the little dweeb in the front row, who is now a multigagillionaire with lots of dark socks, makes a New Year’s to-do resolution list at 6:35 a.m. Jan. 1 – a legible one.

Interchange funding When the dust settled from the extended session of the state legislature, the approved transportation package included to money to finally deliver $1.2 billion to widen the Interstate 405 corridor from Renton to Lynwood. Included in the project is the state Route 167/I-405 interchange, one of the busiest and most-clogged interchanges in the state. According to the WSDOT website, drivers in the area can experience congestion for up to eight hours each day. While the previous year’s budget included money to begin buying land around the planned project, it did not fund construction, which will build a new flyover ramp connecting the HOT lanes on SR167 to the carpool lanes on I-405. This year’s package included construction money.

Renton’s first recreational pot shop Superintendent resignation opens, medical to close In a surprise move at a school board The city of Renton’s first and second recreational marijuana shops opened this year. First to open their doors was the Evergreen Market on Rainer Avenue South in April, followed by Emerald Haze of Northeast Sunset Boulevard. Rapper Snoop Dogg was on hand for the opening of Emerald Haze and then returned in November for a public event. But while the recreational shops have opened with little or no trouble, the state legislature’s passage of a law designed to combine the medical and recreational industries prompted the city to urge medical dispensaries to apply for new state recreational licenses or eventually shut down. In October, the City Council responded to state plans to lift the limit on recreational stores within a municipality by limiting to five the number of stores allowed in the city, previously capped at three. The state began accepting applications for new retail stores in October. Several dispensaries in the area said they planned to try and get a new medical license to allow them to stay in business.

The courts disagreed and in February, the courts again ruled with the city and eviction proceedings were started.

The opening was nearly three years to the day of a 2012 special election in which resident overwhelmingly voted to keep the library in its iconic location over the Cedar River.

And spending time in the kitchen is also a stress reliever for some people. Make a fresh start – the beginning of a new year is the perfect time to make positive changes to how you schedule and organize your time.

• Documenting your day not only keeps you organized, but also provides you with an opportunity to look back and reflect on your life’s accomplishments, memories and milestones from the year.

(StatePoint) Is your life in balance? The new year is a great time to take stock of your routine and make improvements where necessary. Here are some thoughtful habits to consider incorporating into your day in the coming year. Find Time to Decompress • If you’re a morning person, get out of bed 30 minutes earlier than normal to wake up with your favorite coffee or tea and think about what you need to accomplish for the day. • More of a night owl? Spend at least 30 minutes before going to sleep to unplug from technology and relax with a new book. • Schedule time for exercise to reduce stress and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Planning workouts ahead of time will make you more likely to stick to them. Write Everything Down • Handwritten notes and to-do lists will reinforce your memory of the tasks you need to conquer. They also give you the option to look at what you need to do for the day and prioritize the list. Consider a personal planner, such as those from the popular ATA-GLANCE collection.

Fire up your New Year with Honey Bourbon Chicken Strips

Carolyn Ossorio

Hot From the Oven

he holiday season is great time to try new recipes and meet new friends. I met Steve McKenna this month while hosting the tree lighting event at the Piazza in downtown Renton and we had the chance to talk about Steve’s two favorite subjects: food and spirits. With New Year’s Eve on the horizon, I thought it would be fun to invite over a pro to learn how to cook a tasty New Year’s Eve finger food and an inspired cocktail with flare. And there’s probably no one better qualified to teach cooking with alcohol than Steve McKenna, a New York transplant and now Renton resident who made his television debut on “Three Sheets,” a show about going around the country and world getting to know the locals and the best sights to see by having a drink with people. Actually many drinks, which earned him thousands of Facebook followers at Iamstevemckennad and the dubious honor of having his name, “Mckenna’d,” recorded in

the urban dictionary and loosely translated means “to get drunk and do stupid stuff.” Steve is best known as co-host of the “Drinking Made Easy” television show. But don’t let the signature dark shades and “professional drinking jacket” fool you (apparently it’s a custom piece with a lip in the front to hold your glasses, a front pocket with the circumference to hold a can of beer and sleeve holders with traction for a batter grip on said beer), Steve’s also an accomplished Shakespearean actor and chef. His new web series, currently in production and called “Boozy Kitchen” will feature recipes like the Honey Bourbon Chicken Tenders we were making in my kitchen. “Kentucky is the birthplace of bourbon,” McKenna commented as I leaned into my kitchen counter to watch him dredge raw chicken tenders through an egg wash and then flour. I watched him do it again, with the egg wash and then flour before he moved into the panko flake finish. I sipped the bourbon cocktail Steve had served, a medley with a honeyed, thyme infused simple syrup he calls “Perfection takes Thyme.” I don’t know much about bourbon, but I

do know enough about life to enjoy it while watching someone else getting their hands dirty in my kitchen. “You can wear gloves if you don’t want to get your hands all dirty ’cause by the end of it they’re gonna be like big balls,” Steve said, holding up his hands to emphasize that after only two rounds of dredging, his fingers themselves were breaded think enough that I was worried for them being so close to the fryer. “But I like getting my hands dirty. The best trick with breading anything is to get that egg wash and flour dredging into every single nook and cranny and build up that breading! Repeat in the egg wash and flour at least two times!” he said. Steve’s dredging technique was devel-

oped as a line cook in his home town of Essex, New York, at the Old Dock House (a waterfront restaurant his Dad bought in 2006) where he perfected the art of deep frying. According to Steve, the restaurant’s best seller was The Shore Platter, featuring three deep fried shrimp, three cod and three oysters. After a summer frying up a gazillion Shore Platters he earned the nom de plume “Stevie Shore.” Here’s a couple of cooking tips I learned from watching the deep fry maestro: Let your pan get hot before you put the oil in. Pound the chicken tender out a bit so it’s not so thick with the breading and doesn’t become “sushi chicken” and no one gets [ more CHICKEN page 12 ]

Soon you will look just like me.” When I hear a political leader use the term, “We’re just going to move forward”, I resolve not to become a third grader and fall down on the floor giggling. I promise to take those statements as seriously as I do the sultry voice whispering from the grocery store check-out machine, “Welcome valued customer.” Now for a late breaking special report. I found some two pocket stripy shirts Sunday, which I am certain is an omen similar to a bucket of rocks falling out of

the sky whacking me on the brainpan. Allow me to leak a little secret, I won’t be the only one wearing stripy two pockets in 2016. It’s going to be a fashion trend. Let’s try to keep a lid on the fad excitement for now. When New Year’s Day arrives let’s raise our glasses and toast the town with a few guzzles of out-of-date buttermilk. That will lift the fun ball as high as it goes. Happy New Year to all. Dennis Box is the editor of the CourierHerald.-

Drunk man makes threats to get service An unemployed 45-year-old Renton man walked into the Work Source office on Southwest Seventh Street, asking whether he was going to have to shoot up the place before he got some help. Police were called and officers smelled a heavy odor of alcohol. He’s frustrated with the process to find a job and didn’t really intend to shoot anyone. He doesn’t have access to guns. He was trespassed from the building and booked into the SCORE regional jail on a DUI warrant. He’s homeless and a large bag of clothing was taken into custody for safekeeping. -Dean A. Radford

salmonella. And of course, Steve’s chicken tenders were super crispy and a perfect golden brown color! But what was really fun was watching him infuse the honey barbecue dipping sauce with bourbon. I think most home cooks, including this one, have a fascination with flambé, a cooking procedure in which alcohol is added to a hot pan to create a burst of flames. From flambéing to deglazing to braising cooking with alcohol doesn’t take a chemistry degree, but it is a real skill to understand the connection between pairing the right flavors to add depth and dimension and, you know, not burn your house down in the process. For my part, I was a believer, the Honey Bourbon Barbecue Sauce was sweet, rich and the bourbon added an unctuous quality to it that paired wonderfully with the cool and refreshingly sweet and herbaceous Perfection takes Thyme cocktail. Steve’s new show, “Boozy Kitchen” is a perfect venue to teach home cooks his passion for food as a trained chef and the fact that he’s become an accidental expert on all things alcohol. There’s twists on Beef Bourgeon (his recipe features both wine and bourbon), a French toast in a peach brandy sauce, a killer beer batter and a shrimp scampi to die for with wine and butter in it all day long. Everyone is always looking for a great holiday recipe and Steve’s Honey Bourbon breaded chicken tenders are a smart alternative to barbecue wings at a party. Served with the sauce on the side and a vibrant honey and thyme-infused cocktail at your New Year’s Eve gathering, they are sure to be a hit!

Perfection Takes Thyme Cocktail Ingredients 2 oz Bourbon 2 oz water Martinelli’s Sparkling Cider (to taste) 1 oz honey-thyme simple syrup 1/2 cup honey 1/2 cup water 5 or 6 thyme sprigs Honey Thyme Simple Syrup: Combine the honey and water in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Add the thyme sprigs and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool. Remove the thyme sprigs and pour into a jar. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Instructions • Fill a cocktail glass with crushed ice. • Combine the bourbon, honey-thyme simple syrup and Sparkling Cider, in a shaker filled with ice. • Stir until thoroughly combined. • Strain into prepared cocktail glass, garnish with a thyme sprig, and serve.
