    In a tough economy, spend close to home
    By Dean Radford • December 1, 2008 7:11 pm

    Each day seems to bring another grim report about the nation’s economy and Main Street’s ability to cope with the greatest financial upheaval since the Great Depression.

    I would like to thank the community for their support of my campaign for the State Senate in the 41st District. It has been my honor to serve our community for the past eight years and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to go back to Olympia for four more years.

    Today, I am hopeful. The day is bright, despite the gray weather. I have nothing to fear from my national leader.
    Barack Obama is our new president.
    I witnessed the Obama experience a couple years ago when I covered his appearance at Bellevue Community College for the King County Journal.

    It’s all over but the counting.
    Yup, it has been a long few months, wading through the pleas of political candidates and the attack ads that more often than not obscured any hope of making an informed decision.
    But it’s our system and you gotta love it, I suppose.

    Lawmakers need to know how to set priorities
    By Dean Radford • October 27, 2008 10:22 pm

    Renton has a lot of firepower in the state Legislature, as measured by the number – 5 – of legislative districts that include a piece of the city or its environs within their borders.

    Not classy enough for theaters?
    October 23, 2008 7:48 pm

    Oh my goodness. Alaina St. Clair from Renton considers the city’s theaters “kind of nasty.” She goes downtown for movies, except for the new Regal Cinemas at The Landing. I guess that makes the rest of us who enjoy the Renton theaters, including the new one of course, not quite classy enough since we consider the rest of the theaters nice. We’re not snobby enough, huh?

    Maxwell has hand in schools
    October 23, 2008 7:48 pm

    Elections are the time to speak our truths individually, with no concern of repercussions or consequences. We don’t have to agree or disagree with anyone, just our own conscience. There was a letter in the Renton Reporter recently that said someone should investigate the Renton School District. Since Marcie Maxwell is running as a legislative representative and is a member of the Renton School Board, that might not be a bad idea.

    Girls and boys like me are considered victims and in the papers we’re called victims but a great percent of us are not victims. … But I choose not to take the title “victim” because I will NOT sit around feeling bad for myself because this happened to me. I choose to be the victor because I survived.” – Katrina

    We in a quiet way on several occasions have talked up Marcie Maxwell in her race for an open seat in the state House of Representative, representing the 41st District. Now, after talking with her opponent, Steve Litzow of Mercer Island, we can whole-heartedly give our endorsement to Maxwell.

    As a school nurse for 14 years, I’ve had the great fortune to work in schools with the Communities In Schools of Renton’s Family Liaison program ever since it began in 1994. I still remember what it was like before family liaisons began working in the district. Food bank referrals, clothing bank referrals, housing referrals, transportation referrals and holiday assistance requests generally came to the school nurse.
