Most corn stalks reach seven or eight feet tall. In Wyman Dobson’s Renton garden, the metal rods that hold up his corn are eight feet. At 14 feet, his corn stalks are nearly twice that height. Each cob splits into three big pieces for corn on the cob.
The Wine Alley, owned and operated by Scott and Allison Helfen in the Fairwood Shopping Center, was voted “Best Wine Shop” in Evening Magazine’s “Best of Western Washington” contest.

TO OUR READERS
The Renton Reporter continues the presentation of recipes from the culinary program students and staff at Renton Technical College. Each dish is paired with wines in various price ranges, as suggested by local wine experts.
Often when people ask me what to pair with what they are having for dinner, they name the main meat of the meal – and not how it is prepared or what spices or sauces may be used. Pairing a wine with a meat can be quite simple; pairing it to a recipe can be a bit more difficult. Chicken would have a list of wines that can go with it, but add a spicy recipe to the mix and you have a whole different list of wines. I would normally pair Riesling with spicy Asian foods, sauvignon blanc with spicy Mexican foods. But spicy chicken? That took some thought. In the end I felt that this meal required a lighter white, but not as light as the ones above, to hold up the chicken dish, and found Viognier to be a fantastic match!

Corey Colwell-Lipson and her mother Lynn Colwell have spent the past two years greening Halloween. Now they’re ready for other holidays. That’s where their new book comes in. The book is called “Celebrate Green! Creating Eco-Savvy Holidays, Celebrations and Traditions for the Whole Family.”
Corey Colwell-Lipson knew Halloween would turn green. She just didn’t expect the holiday to change colors so quickly.

Alaina St. Clair lives in Renton. But she doesn’t go to movies in Renton. She calls the city’s theaters old and “kind of nasty.” She and her daughter Chanel, 4, made an exception Wednesday. Instead of catching a movie at their usual spot, downtown Seattle’s ritzy Pacific Place shopping mall, the pair headed to the new Regal Cinemas at The Landing, officially called Regal Cinemas The Landing Stadium 14.
I moved to the Renton area from El Paso, Texas, two years ago. I’ve always had a passion for great cooking; and after I found out that Renton Technical College had a great Culinary Arts program, I pretty much jumped for the opportunity. This is my second quarter and I love it. My goals after graduation are to become a certified culinarian from the American Culinary Federation and, long-term, own my own restaurant.
