What does the new Indiana Jones movie have to do with gas taxes? Answer: Nothing
This Yahoo layout confused me when I first looked at it. Why would a new movie cause Clinton and Obama to debate gas taxes…?
Burglars in Benson Hill beware… there is a new “Sheriff” in town; $1000′s recovered already
Benson Hill residents should be encouraged by this email we just received from Mayor Law. This was some really great police work!
__________________________________________________________
Dear Council Members,
Renton Police Officer Eric Gordon did some great police work for our new
residents in the Benson Hill/Cascade neighborhood. He responded to a residential
burglary yesterday where thousands of dollars in jewelry and other items were
taken. Several hours later, he made a routine traffic stop on a van and noticed
items that were described in the earlier burglary. The victim of the burglary
was able to positively identify the merchandise, resulting in the arrest of two
suspects. And a follow-up interview by Sgt. Todd Frazier helped to recover more
stolen items that had been taken from a neighboring home.
Another huge benefit for our new residents who are now receiving quality police
service!
Hope you have a nice weekend.

“You are riding aboard the New Mark Seven Monorail”
Fellow Disneyland-lovers may recall the familiar baritone voice that has welcomed monorail passengers with the words “You are riding aboard the NEW MARK FIVE Monorail” for over 20 years now.
So, I am glad to see that the old “New Mark V” is finally going to be updated.
Now, if Seattle Center could only find a way to replace its even-older monorail trains…
Bear in Kennydale
This was the scene on NE 16th Street in Upper Kennydale this morning, as firefighters and animal control officers tried to figure out how to wrangle a black bear that had meandered it’s way around the neighborhood.
My council colleague Marcie Palmer kindly provided the email stories, with the details, below.
Here is the bear that caused all the commotion; photo thanks to Robin Schoonmaker

Speed Cameras in School Zones
The speed cameras are going in near three schools this week.
Here is a shot of the camera being installed on Edmonds Ave NE, next to McKnight Middle school. We are also installing red-light cameras at three intersections.
The Renton Reporter published a story in today’s edition. Click HERE for the story.
When the cameras get activated, please be prepared for other drivers to act a little erratically. for a while. These cameras are great at eliminating T-Bone car crashes, and preventing kids from getting hit in school zones, but they can actually increase the number of rear-end fender-benders due to people driving unpredictably (hitting the break abruptly when they first thought they would run the light, or slowing down fast). So be careful until the speed-demons out there learn some new habits.
