In 1985, Louis Fote Jr. was a sixth grader at Lakeridge Elementary School and had nowhere to play. Playgrounds were too far from his north Renton home. His overprotective parents didn’t help. So he collected more than 100 student signatures, pleaded his case at a year’s worth of City Council and Parks Board meetings, (fighting ornery adults along the way) and got his playground built, at downtown Renton’s Jones Park, between the Cedar River and Wells and Main avenues.
You don’t have to be a Nobel Prize winner or a reformed mass murderer to write an autobiography. You can be an ordinary Renton resident who wants to share her life with family.

I was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska, and moved to Seattle, when I was a child. I am 19 years old. My long-term goal is to graduate from RTC’s Culinary Arts program and open up my own Mexican or Chinese restaurant. My goal is also to be certified by the American Culinary Federation and to become a Certified Master Chef is my goal. I am a third-quarter student and currently learning different methods of cooking in my studies doing my line-cook station at Renton Technical College. Some of my hobbies are spending time with friends and playing video games.

The last time we did this article we talked about the sequence of wine being as important as the matching of wine to the meal. That it was necessary to start with your lightest whites and end with your full-bodied reds. This can create a challenge when following the European tradition of putting the salad after the main meal. In most cases, a full-bodied red would not pair well with a salad, so what do you do now? The next phase of the sequence is residual sugar. (dryer to sweeter). This allows you to follow a red with a white. The wine choice we made would go well with the salad recipe whether you choose it alone or within the meal progression and would work if you chose to have the salad before or after the main meal. We recommend an off-dry Riesling, as the light sweetness will really complement the dressing, cheeses and nuts found in the salad, and, of course, the greens of the salad, but not be as sweet as the wine you would chose to pair with dessert. This wine varietal loves foods and pairs nicely with a spectrum of choices.
