Renton School District looking to increase minority hires

By TRACEy COMPTON

[email protected]

The Renton School Board approved the district’s five-year affirmative action plan at its March 12 meeting, which has been re-vised to reflect new labor market statistics, including the district’s increasing diversity.

A committee assembled to revise the plan found that the minority population in

King County has increased to 47 percent from 2000 to 2010, according to census data.

The committee compared the percentage of racial and ethnic minorities and women employed in the district to the percentage of minorities and women in the available employment pool.

They identified significant discrepancies

or under utilization and developed a plan to address it.

“We were pleased to see that the overall percentage of Renton’s minority hires had increased by 34.5 percent since 2006, and that our diversity data for all of our certificated positions (teachers and leader-ship team) exceeded the availability in the regional and state labor market pool,” wrote Sheryl Moore, assistant superintendent hu-man resources, in an email.

The report also found under utilization in the custodial staff, food service, bus driv-ers and maintenance staff.

The under utilization analysis does not result in hiring goals, but the district will seriously work to expand its diversity in the applicant pool and in hiring, Moore said.

Currently, there are openings in the cus-todial area and there will be three position openings in the other areas later this spring.

From 2006 to 2013 women employees have grown from 1,265 to 1,435 and minor-ity employees have increased from 307 to 413. The total staff increase for that same period has gone from 1,672 employees to

District has made progress but still working to match growing diversity of students and residents

City closer to finalizing rules for pot businessesBy BRiAN BECklEy

[email protected]

The City of Renton is one step closer to finalizing its rules on recreational marijuana businesses this week but plans to extend its moratorium on medical marijuana businesses for an additional six months to further study the issue.

The City Council on Monday moved to final reading of an ordinance laying out the city’s rules for recreational marijuana businesses, based on recommendations from staff and the Planning Commission, who have been studying the issue dur-ing the present six-month moratorium, which expires April 4.

Under the new rules, marijuana producers and processors will be allowed in the city’s “industrial heavy” zones, while retail stores will be treated in the code like taverns and allowed in a limited number of retail zones.

Senior Planner Angie Mathias pre-sented the recommendations to the city’s planning and development committee on March 13. She said the Planning Commission worked hard on the issue, finalizing its recommendation in 4-3

Vino at The Landing will host a fundraiser March 24 for the victim of a robbery and hit-and-run acci-dent that happened to an employee of their neighboring restaurant, Gyros House.

The event, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., is to help offset the medical expenses of Saif Alazzawi, who is a cook at Gyros House. There will be wine-tasting and an appetizer buffet. The cost is $25 a person and 15 percent of additional food and bottle sales Vino will donate to the cause. Landing merchants have collected raffle prizes, including VIP tickets to Richard Sherman’s Celebrity Softball Game, merchant gift baskets, two Coca-Cola bicycles and other branded merchandise to name a few items.

On Jan. 23, Gyros House was robbed for the second time of its tip jar. Restaurant staff Allyssa Adams pursued the suspect, a woman, outside of Gyros House and was followed by Alazzawi, who heard Adams screaming. Alazzawi con-fronted the suspect but ultimately let her go with the money, as he was instructed to do by other Gyros House staff. The woman retreated into a get-away car and as Alazzawi stepped in front of the car to get the license-plate number, the driver eventually ran over Alazzawi with the car.

Gyros House staff said that a crowd of people watched and tried to interfere as Alazzawi was then dragged underneath the car for about 15 to 20 feet.

The driver, Ronald Bramlett, was arrested for felony assault and but got out on bail and has not made any of the scheduled court appearances, according to Moussa Elmoussa, Gyros House owner.

After surgery and almost a week’s

stay at Harborview, Alazzawi is recovering at home in Kent. He had broken ribs, a large baseball-sized cut on his thigh and lost about 60 percent of his skin, as a result of injuries he suffered during the incident, Elmoussa said.

“I feel terrible,” said Adams about her co-worker. “He was just trying to go out there to protect me. I feel like it’s my fault, but he was just trying to protect me. He’s a good friend.”

Alazzawi had been a cook at Gy-ros House for about two years and is described by his boss, Elmoussa, as a great employee.

“He always looked for something to do during a slow time or when we don’t have any orders,” Elmous-sa said. “He would go help in the kitchen; he would help everybody and everybody likes him here.”

Elmoussa is in contact with Alaz-zawi often and other staff from the

restaurant check on him from time to time. His recovery is expected

to take between six and nine months.

The res-taurant has hosted one fundraising event for Alazzawi and collect-ed $3,000

for his medical expenses which are upwards of $35,000. Because the incident occurred outside of Gyros House, Alazzawi’s insurance did not cover his expenses.

Elmoussa created a flyer with information about Alazzawi and posted it in the restaurant. Regular customers and other Landing ven-dors inquire often about the cook’s recovery.

“It’s a small community,” said Rick McMaster, Vino’s owner in a press release. “When someone needs help, we open our hearts and wallets to support our family. And we consider our fellow merchants as family.”

Elmoussa and Gyros House staff did not expect the outpouring of support they’ve seen thus far from the community.

“We saw a lot of support and people were very generous and they came and reached out to us and they tried to help,” said Elmoussa. “That gives you another message. There’s bad people there, but there’s great people also, especially in Renton.”

A charity account has also been set up at Key Bank in Alazzawi’s name for the community to con-tribute donations to help with his medical expenses.

Mayor proclaims state of city is ‘strong’ at annual speechBy Brian Beckley

[email protected]

Mayor Denis Law this past week declared the state of our city is strong and said his goal for 2015 was “for Renton to become the best city in King County” during his annual speech at a Chamber of Commerce luncheon.

“If the past couple of months is any indi-cator, 2014 is going to be a great year,” Law declared as he opened his speech.

In a wide-ranging and optimistic speech that touched on the Seahawks Super Bowl victory, increased production at Boeing’s 737 plant, changes in police policy toward schools, environmental issues and eco-nomic development, Law highlighted some of the city’s successes and laid out some of the challenges for the next year.

Beginning on a high note, the mayor opened with the excitement that coursed through the city during the Seahawks championship run and once again pro-claimed Renton the “true home” of the

team.Law then talked briefly about the in-

creased production at Boeing, which this month has once again upped its output of airplanes at their Renton facility.

“We continually brag that every Boe-ing 737 flying around the world made its maiden flight from our airport,” he said. “It’s amazing that effective this month, their goal is to be producing 42 planes per month in Renton.”

Law also said the local economy contin-ues to improve but did warn of potential difficulties for the city in the future, despite continuing efforts to gain efficiencies in the way the city operates.

“Despite the gained efficiencies and cuts in personnel and budgets, we continue to face a financial deficit in future years,” the mayor said, adding that the cost of services is increasing at a rate that exceeds the city’s income.

Law proudly talked about the services the city provides each day from public safety to public works, from parks and trails to permits and events, all despite a 15

percent reduction in the city’s workforce.The mayor said staff has worked to find

new ways of doing business with less.“It became our goal over the past several

years to do everything possible to provide the highest quality service,” he said, talking about having to make cuts in staff while trying to create an environment where employees feel appreciated and inspired. “It was painful at times.”

Despite cuts, the mayor listed several accomplishments of the city, including the construction of the new inclusive play-ground near the Meadow Crest Learning

Center in the Highlands, which will open this spring, the REACH Center of Hope day shelter for women and children that opened in May 2013 and a change in police patrols at schools to an “Adopt-a-School” model following the loss of federal funding for the school resource officer program.

Law also cited the recent change in law to allow the city to revoke business licenses of establishments that receive an inordinate number of police calls as a public safety victory of the past year.

“One by one, we’re making progress in resolving these issues,” he said.

Law also talked about working with the diverse population of city residents and making Renton an “all-inclusive city,” something he said has been a goal since 2008.

Law talked about the city’s work through community liaisons and task forces to reach out to non-English- speaking communities to provide disaster preparedness kits and spur involvement in city events and fes-tivals and showed off the first-place City Diversity Award Renton was presented earlier in the week by the National League of Cities and the Na-

tional Black Caucus of Local Elected Officials.

“We are committed to continue our efforts of understanding and address-ing the needs of our diverse commu-nities,” he said.

The mayor closed his speech by talking about some of the develop-ment expected this year, including new businesses downtown and near Lake Washington.

City Council President Don Pers-son said after the speech that he shares the mayor’s optimism about the future of Renton.

“The future of Renton is bright,” he

said. “And there’s more in the pipe-line.”

Chamber of Commerce Execu-tive Director Lynn Wallace said she liked the “really positive” nature of the mayor’s speech and talked of the “incredible synergy” in the city.

“It’s nice to have that turnaround from a few years ago,” she said.

Councilwoman Marcie Palmer agreed.

“They found us!” she said. “The rest of the world knows how wonderful Renton is.”

Mayor highlights employees who go ‘extra mile’ at speechBy Brian Beckley

[email protected]

During his State of the City speech this past week, Mayor Denis Law highlighted the efforts of four city employees for going “the extra mile for our citizens.”

These are their stories:Officer Shawn Tierney in late 2013

responded to a strong-arm robbery at the Fred Meyer store in which an elderly woman’s purse was stolen from her shop-ping cart. The victim and her husband were very upset and instead of sim-ply taking the report and moving on, Tierney took a personal interest to help the couple.

Tierney personally called the couple’s finan-cial institutions and ad-vised them of the theft of the victims’ credit cards. Then, upon realizing the couple’s house keys were also stolen, Tierney was concerned they could become burglary victims and accompanied the couple to their home where he removed the home’s locks, took them to the hardware store to purchase new keys and locks and person-ally installed them at the house.

“This is a great example of going that extra mile to serve the public,” Law said. “For his efforts, Tierney was recently voted by his peers as ‘officer of the year.’”

Bonnie Rerecich has been with the city’s recreation department since 1972. During her time with the city, she has been instrumental in several programs, such as the Specialized Recreation Social program, the Special Olympics, indoor playground, preschool programs, athletic programs, the volunteer program, the celebration trailer and the city’s special events.

But each year during the One Night Count program in Janu-ary in which volunteers fan out across the region to establish a number of the homeless population in a given area, Rerecich comes in at midnight to cook for the volunteers doing the counting. She also helps connect the homeless with social service organizations.

Public Works employ-ees George Stahl and Dan Grant also received

recognition for their efforts to locate and fix a water leak.

According to the mayor, a resident in the Highlands had a water-pipe break in their front yard just before a scheduled family reunion.

“They were in a panic,” Law said of the residents, who could not get a plumber to the house in time to save the event.

Stahl and Grant were able to find the leak and devise a temporary fix that would

allow the reunion to proceed until a plumber could get to the site.

Law thanked the employees for their work and said they were just examples of the fine staff employed by the city.

“It’s gratifying to receive comments, letters and emails or praise for employ-ees who are going the extra mile for our citizens,” he said.

All Renton, all the time | www.rentonreporter.com


No one could be happier to see state law-makers wrap up and head home than Gov. Jay Inslee.

They departed a week ago and won’t return until January 2015.

That gives the rookie Democratic governor nine-plus months to get some work done without interruption or interference from those who’ve foiled him repeatedly since he arrived in Olympia.

Inslee is still getting the hang of the give-and-take of the legislative process after two sessions. And it’s a challenge no amount of travel on the Olympia learning curve may help him overcome.

Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate are beginning to accept the congressman-turned-governor is a product of his past political life in Washington, D.C. They’ve come to expect he’ll rail on Republi-cans when he considers them obstructing his path and cast no unkind words at Democrats when they thwart his wishes.

As a result, his influence this session seemed muted on the most talked-about policy disputes like transportation, medical marijuana and revising the teacher evaluation

system to secure a federal education waiver.

Several lawmakers wrangling on the waiver matter shrugged at learn-ing two days before the end of the legislative session, Inslee traveled to Snohom-ish County to conduct his own closed-door talks on

education — with second-graders.They didn’t know he wasn’t in town and

didn’t seem to think it would have made a difference.

Such an attitude underscores why Inslee is looking forward to not having lawmakers around for a few months. Ditto for his advis-ers who hope to capitalize on this opportunity to advance a mostly stalled political agenda and leave his imprint on the state.

To accomplish this, there is an expectation Inslee will rely on every available instrument of power and exercise every available ounce of authority allotted governors through the state constitution.

He demonstrated a willingness to push the bounds in February when he declared a moratorium on use of the death penalty in Washington, putting an end to executions for at least as long as he holds office.

In the coming months, it is anticipated he will issue a variety of executive orders to un-dertake new policies, practices and initiatives outside the reach of legislators.

Already this year he’s signed noncontro-versial ones creating a task force to boost the outdoor recreation industry and increasing the number of state employees working flex-ible hours and telecommuting.

Inslee will need nine months

I rescue dogs. I don’t mean that I stop along the road, jump out and chase them down. I mean I am a foster parent for dogs rescued from high-kill shelters – mostly in Southern Califor-nia.

According to the Humane Society, approxi-mately 2.7 million pets are euthanized in this country every year. Another source says it’s 4 million. The vast majority of these animals would have made loving companions, if only

someone had stepped in and adopted them. Seattle is home to several canine rescue orga-nizations. Some specialize in specific breeds. Others focus on senior dogs, while some, like 6Dogrees Rescue, focus on rescuing from high-kill shelters.

Karleen Brigham, who operates 6Dogrees Rescue, used her bonus check from work to start her organization, while still maintaining her full-time job.

“I had volunteered with other rescue organiza-tions and decided to see how far I could go on my own,” says Brigham.

Many rescue organizations, like 6Dogrees Rescue, are nonprofits. And while adoption fees may seem high, the money pays to have the dogs spayed/neutered, vet checked, and micro-chipped. It also pays for needed surgery or medical treatment.

“It costs me $400 to $500 just to rescue a healthy dog,” says Brigham.

Most rescue organizations are limited by money and volunteers in the number of dogs they can take. For instance, 6Dogrees Rescue

works mostly with small dogs and takes no more than 12 to 15 dogs at a time.

The rescue process can be frustrating and complicated, but there is an entire network of people who work together to get these dogs into loving homes. And it’s a good thing. Many of these animals may be only days, or even hours, away from being euthanized.

First, someone finds a dog in a shelter and promotes it through Facebook, getting financial pledges for a stay of execution. A rescue orga-nization steps in when it has an available foster home and asks a qualified “puller” to pull the dog and put it into boarding. There, the dog is vetted and evaluated for behavioral problems.

establishes the 23-member Interagency Coordinat-ing Council for Infants and Toddlers with Dis-abilities and Their Families. Inslee will appoint all the members, who in turn will advise the Department of Early Learning in devel-oping early intervention services statewide.

His critics are nervous the governor might use the powers of his office to do something on much bigger issues like raise the minimum wage for workers paid under state contracts or require state agencies to only purchase fuel with less carbon in it.

Whether Inslee could make such moves or do anything close isn’t clear.

He’s got nine-and-a-half months to explore the pos-sibilities and many of his political opponents couldn’t be less happy about it.

split-vote at the end of a two-hour meeting.

“They really did consider a lot of different things,” Mathias said, calling it an “interesting conver-sation.”

Mathias said much of the discussion focused on buffer zones around sensitive uses and the possibility of adding new uses to the buffers recommended by the state Liquor Control Board, which include parks and schools.

The Planning Commission also considered buffers around sub-stance-abuse treatment facilities and increased distances between the businesses and residential neighborhoods.

However, because no other uses in the city have such buffers, including bars and liquor stores, the commission decided not to add any new constraints. There was also concern about equity between buffers from single-fam-ily and multi-family homes.

The decision to classify retail shops in the same way as taverns is based on the “strong com-parisons” between the two uses, according to Mathias, including age restrictions and the need for a special license from the Liquor Control Board. A difference, however, is that no consumption

will be allowed at marijuana retail stores.

Mathias said some members of the Planning Commission were not particularly comfortable with the hours allowed by the classification, which could keep marijuana stores open much later than traditional retailers.

But classifying the businesses in a similar way as taverns limits the number of retail zones in which such businesses may open. According to Mathias, general re-tail sales are allowed in 13 of the city’s zones while taverns (and retail marijuana businesses) are only allowed in six zones, which she described as “more intensive commercial” areas.

For production and processing, the city is placing the business in its industrial heavy zoning and will require all production be done indoors. Mathias called the zone the “most realistic” for the businesses and said the valley will be the most likely location in Renton for the industries.

Planning Director Chip Vincent said it was clear that some members of the Planning Commission wanted to consider banning the businesses outright, as some cities propose, but the commission was told that was not an option because the mayor and council have repeatedly said

that they will follow the will of the voters.

Renton is slated for three mari-juana retail stores.

As for medical marijuana, the city is proposing to extend its moratorium for an additional six months.

Vincent on Monday told the City Council that the Legisla-ture was expected to take up the issue of combining the medical marijuana initiative with the recreational marijuana initiative, but did not get to it.

While recreational marijuana is regulated and taxed, medical marijuana facilities are not and there is presently no “clear au-thority” on how to proceed with medical marijuana.

“We’re struggling because of the ambiguity in the current law,” said City Administrator Jay Covington.

Choosing a childcare is always a sensitive issue, especially for a fi rst time mom. I love this child more than anything, and to fi nd a place so comforting, and positive, and secure all in the same package is a rare gem, indeed. I don’t know what I would do without the supportive community at Family Circle taking on the responsibility of being a second family during the hours we can’t be there for him. � e personal touches they provide help to bring a little bit of that time you are missing with your child back to you whether it’s in the form of a craft they made for you with quotes from your child, or a story that your child comes home and shares with you, to the special concerts and plays that we get to enjoy in the older classrooms. I feel fortunate for myself, and for my son, that we haven’t had to move him from center to center to fi nd the right fi t for him. He has grown in leaps and bounds, and continues to fl ourish at Family Circle and I know he treasures the friendships he has made there, as do I! He can hardly wait until school is out to take part in all of the fun activities and special fi eld trips that the school age group gets to enjoy in the summer. I appreciate the e� ort that the sta� makes to keep the children active and interested during the summer months, and all year round. � e games and activities in the school agers room are endless and always entertaining. � e special parties they get to have for several occasions allow the kids to take part in the preparation and really be part of the fun! I wish I had had a Miss Lynnette when I was growing up!! She makes every day fun for the kids and really take a special pride in her classroom!!

Once the dog is safe, the rescue organization works with “transporters” to bring the dog up to the Puget Sound area. This can some-times take weeks to sched-ule, and the transporters are often picking up dogs along the way and bringing them to multiple organizations.

If this sounds like or-ganized chaos, think of it from the dog’s perspective.

Many of them have been caught off the street or come from abusive situ-ations. Some are “owner surrendered” and pine for the family that aban-doned them. They’ve lived in a noisy, barren shelter environment for weeks, sometimes months. They’ve been poked and prodded by strangers and then trans-ported for some 30 hours with 30 or 40 other dogs, only to be handed off to

more strangers. They arrive tired, scared and confused.

Foster homes give them stability, so that when a potential family comes to meet them, the dog has a real chance at finding a new forever home.

“It’s always about the dogs,” Brigham says. “I once spent $2,300 on a dog. But her life was worth it.”

Here are a few takeaways: 1.) Never advertise an ani-mal for free on Craigslist or

anywhere else. These dogs are often sold as “bait” to dog-fighting rings or for re-search. 2.) Make sure your own pet has been spayed or neutered. 3.) Adopt from a shelter or rescue organization, rather than buying from a pet store. 4.) Consider becoming a foster parent. Take it from me. It is a heartwarming and rewarding experience.

If you’d like more information on adopting your next pet, go online to Petfinder.com or Adopt-a-pet.com, or contact one of the local rescues organiza-tions in our area. Then, consider volunteering your time or making a financial contribution to help rescue more dogs.

We’ll never get the number of euthanized pets to zero, but perhaps we can get the number under 4 million.

What to do to save animals from harm or worse[ bohart from page 6]

The City of Renton is offering CERT training in April and May to individuals to help them respond to a disaster at home and in their neighborhoods.

CERT stands for Community Emergency Response Team. The training prepares individuals to provide an initial response to a disaster before emergency crews arrive.

They’ll learn how to extinguish small fires, conduct light search and rescue, triage, how to organize neigh-borhoods following a disaster and more.

The “hands on” training is 6-9 p.m. on Tuesdays, April 15-May 27, at Renton Fire Station 14 on Lind Avenue Southwest, with a final drill and graduation on Saturday, May 31.

More information and registration is available online at http://www.rentonwa.gov/cert.

Cost is $25 for Renton residents and $30 for non-residents. The minimum age to participate is 18 years old.

A Lindbergh High senior has been named a finalist in the 2014 Gates Mil-lennium Scholar program.

Thanh Dinh will be one of only 1,000 high school and college students world-wide to win the award. She, along with other high school students across the country and students at Harvard, Yale, Cornell and other universities, will par-ticipate in a competitive process of eight essays and three selection rounds, with interviews.

Finalists for the award are selected

from 21,000 college and high school applicants worldwide who are evaluated on academic achievement, community service and leadership potential.

If Dinh is selected, she will be awarded a full-ride college and graduate school scholarship to use at any college or uni-versity of her choice, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

“My teachers and counselors at Lind-bergh High have helped me a lot,” said Dinh in a press release. “Beyond what they teach in the classroom, they share

their knowledge and experiences, which has really helped me learn a new language, culture and behaviors. I really love all of the teachers and staff at Lindbergh High.”

Dinh said the higher-level classes offered at Lindbergh High challenged her and made her successful. She’s taken Advanced Placement calculus, psychology, anatomy

and physiology. Dinh also earned a research internship at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center through a pro-gram at Lindbergh.

She has a goal of becoming an anatom-ical pathologist or surgeon and wants to major in biochemistry at the University of Washington, before going to medical school.

Past Gates Millennium Scholar win-ners include Renton High School seniors Rakib Mirza in 2011 and Lindsay Dacuan in 2010.

Just over one week remains in the first-ever opportunity to buy health insurance with deep federal subsidies. Anyone who is currently uninsured can get financial and health security by enrolling at the Washington Healthplan-finder website.

Individuals must sign up by March 31.

And for individuals who are having trouble accessing the website, help is available via telephone hotline or in-person enrollment events.

Find out what it would cost:

You can learn quickly (and anonymously) if you qualify for a discounted plan by entering some basic information at the Wash-ington Healthplanfinder website – just choose “find and compare plans.” How-ever, experts caution not to wait until the last minute, because choosing which insurance plan is best for you can take some time.

Open enrollment applies to those who are eligible for reduced cost insur-ance, with incomes from 139-400 percent of federal poverty level. Another open enrollment period comes next fall. And for those at lower incomes, enrollment continues all year in Wash-

ington Apple Health.Most people have suc-

cessfully enrolled online, with minimal assistance.

Quick facts:• 115,100 newly enrolled

in King County since Oct. 1, 2013

• 406,263 newly enrolled in Washington state

• 110 enrollment assis-tance events listed on King County’s website

Getting Assistance:

• In-person assistance will be available from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Tuesday at teh Renton Community Serivce Office, 500 S.W. 7th St., Suite B.

• By phone, 1-855-923-4633 is the state’s toll-free help-line

• Online tips for solving enrollment obstacles – at a special enrollment website, www.kingcounty.gov/cov-erage.

“You’ve tried the rest,now try the Best!”

Walker’s Renton Subaru donates more than $24,000 to Friends of Renton Schools

Walker’s Renton Subaru and Subaru of America donated $24,000 to the Friends of Renton Schools on March 18 to provide funding for science, technology, engineering and math-ematics (STEM) programs for students in the district.

The donation was a part of Subaru’s “Share the Love” event, where Subaru customers, who purchased or leased a new vehicle between Nov. 21 to Jan. 2, contributed a $250 donation to any of five national charities or make a local donation to Friends of Renton Schools founda-tion.

“Providing these funds to our local schools is something that I and my team here at Walker’s Renton Subaru believe in,” said owner Dale Walker in a press release. “A high-qual-ity school system benefits our entire community.”

Walker’s Renton Subaru staff sold or leased enough cars during the event to be the No. 1 selling dealer in the Northwest zone and third in the U.S. among 641 dealers nationwide.

Subaru of America has donated $35 million to charitable partners during the annual “Share the Love” event.

Children lead the way to the future of arts in RentonSince I’ve lived in Renton, I have

been surprised by how many kids are involved in the arts and how

talented they are. When we think about young people and

art, we may think of wonder children and prodigies such as 15-year-old pianist, McK-enzie Fysh. She was the recipient of last years’ first Arts Alive for Youth scholarship, which was started to celebrate the 50th year of the Allied Arts of Renton organization.

She played beauti-fully last year at the Fall Arts Equinox, and also at Renton Commu-nity Foundation’s annual Circle of Giving Awards.

When I was a child, I couldn’t decide whether to be an artist or a writer. On my seventh Christ-

mas, my father made me an artist’s easel. My first painting was of the mountains west of the Santa Clara Valley. My parents encouraged my artistic efforts. I still have the poetry I started writing when I was 9.

The last day of this month, I will turn 69, and I still haven’t decided what I want to be when I grow up.

Creative arts play a part in the lives of the children of Renton in many ways.

A few months ago my 9-year-old grandson Cole and his neighbor friend Amelia decided to collect rocks. When they brought a whole box in the house, I wondered why. They cleaned them up and painted them with images and words. Then waving goodbye, they went up and down our street selling them to neighbors and random passing cars.

We live on a narrow, rarely travelled

county road, so there weren’t a lot of avail-able customers, but apparently the neigh-bors either loved their artistic endeavors, or took pity on them, because they both came back with fists-full of money.

The embarrassing part was when we found out they told everyone we needed money to pay for damages caused by a leaky roof! But I still admired their artistry and entrepreneurial spirit!

These two also started making videos with a smart phone, casting my grandson’s gecko as the lead as they posed him in various places in the house, creating drama with our cats as willing supporting actors.

One of our gifted young residents is Nat-alie Gress, a student at Liberty High School, who is a performing actor, an award winner in a recent FilmFrenzy event in Renton and

is the youth board member of the Renton Municipal Arts Commission.

During Renton River Days, the Allied Arts of Renton organization sponsors a judged chalk art contest on the tennis courts at Liberty Park. I see these kids of all ages, hands covered with colorful chalk, happily creating very temporary, but awesomely creative masterpieces on the concrete.

Our local youth are also encouraged to develop their creativity through the Wash-ington State PTA cultural-arts competition called Reflections. I was a judge at one of Renton’s elementary schools for the pho-tography and creative writing competition. The purpose of the program is to provide an opportunity for students to use their creative talents by expressing themselves through their own original works.

I also love the annual art show held at the Carco Theatre during Renton River Days. There are awards given for artists of all ages.

The year before last, I photographed

local artist Doug Kyes, proudly standing by one of his two granddaughters who both received awards. Doug is a local artist who has many amazing art pieces on public dis-play in Renton. There must be something about Renton that creates multi-genera-tional artists!

If we were to look at nearly every child in Renton, we would find budding artists and creative souls, each finding their own means of expression. Whether they are painting rocks, putting on plays, mold-ing with play-dough or pasting glitter and macaroni onto construction paper, they are each expressing their vision of the world through art.

As their caregivers and friends, we are each given an opportunity to recognize and nurture their gifts. Who knows where those skills may take them in the future?

I know there are many more creative kids in Renton that I have yet to meet. I hope they all pursue their dreams and that we, as a community, do everything we can to support them.

As for what I want to be when I grow up, there’s still time to decide, right?

The following was compiled from Renton Police Depart-ment case reports.

By DEAN A. RADFORD

[email protected]

Over the course of an hour early March 10, a man cut open the fence behind McLendon’s on Rainier Avenue and stole about $1,500 worth of tools employees use to do their jobs at the store.

The man is caught on video cutting a 5-foot vertical slit in the back fence on Shattuck Avenue at about 3:30 a.m. He then breaks into an area where employees keep their personal tools.

He didn’t enter the store. Apparently, he didn’t arrive or leave in a vehicle.

He appears to be 24 to 34 years old, 5-foot-10 and weigh-ing 165 to 180 pounds. He’s wearing camouflage pants and a black rain jacket, with the hood wrapped tightly around his face. What looks like a fur-fringed hat is on his head.

Walking or running, he made several trips carrying the 12 tools, including staplers, nailers, routers and a radio, back to the fence.

At about 4 a.m., he leaves on foot and walks toward the railway trestle on Shattuck. About half-hour later he returns and finishes hauling the tools stashed by the fence to the trestle.

Later in the morning, an officer walked eastbound on the tracks, where he knew a derelict storage unit is abandoned about 100 yards east of Shattuck.

Inside the storage unit were such things as mattresses, lighters and beer bottles, but no transients and no stolen tools.

The serial numbers for the tools were entered into a crime database.

Traffic stop nets wanted manA 46-year-old Renton man was booked into SCORE re-

gional jail after a routine check during a traffic stop showed he had a $5,000 felony warrant for his arrest.

He was stopped at about 3 a.m. on March 11 on Union Avenue Southeast while driving a car belonging to a friend, who was drunk and sitting next to him. The friend has a suspended license.

He admitted his license was suspended, too, but he was only driving to get his friend home.

The King County Sheriff ’s Office issued the felony warrant for possessing a controlled substance without a prescription.

The man’s friend told officers he would get someone who was sober and had a valid license to retrieve his car.

Suspicious device was smoke bombThe Port of Seattle bomb squad was called March 11

after a canister containing what looked like a hand grenade was found among donated items at the Goodwill store on Northeast Sunset Boulevard.

The bomb squad determined the device was a military smoke bomb.

There’s no record of who donated the device.

Fedor gets his man againFedor, a Renton Police canine officer, played a key role

March 11 in apprehending an armed-robbery suspect in Federal Way.

Fedor and his handler, Officer Cassidy Steed, assisted a SWAT team searching for the suspect in a Federal Way apartment complex.

Fedor located the man lying on the floor of an apartment’s master bedroom. Fedor lost the bit on the man’s left leg but kept ahold of his pants. The suspect still struggled.

Fedor dragged the man by the pant leg to the open door leading to the hallway. The suspect braced his right leg against

the wall, but Fedor kept pulling. The man followed an of-ficer’s order to drop his leg.

The 29-year-old man, who is an escaped sex offender, kept reaching for the waist of his pants; the officer wasn’t sure whether he was reaching for a gun or just trying to keep his pants up.

He was taken into custody and treated for a minor bite to his leg.

Scrap hauled off in middle of nightA Toyota pickup truck with a canopy used its bumper as

a battering ram on March 7 to break open a secured gate at a business in southwest Renton to steal scrap.

Minutes earlier the driver had inspected the gate, then drove off.

The driver backed up to a scrap-metal bin after smash-ing the gate and three individuals filled up the Toyota with metal.

The chain and padlock were stolen, too.The theft was caught on tape by the business’ security

cameras.

No pizza or beer, just trip to jailThe 49-year-old Renton man paid for the frozen pizza

March 10 at Safeway but not the three cans of Budweiser he concealed in his backpack.

He was stopped by store security and a police officer asked him why he didn’t pay for the beer. His Washington EBT card won’t pay for alcohol. The officer didn’t ask any more questions.

The man was booked into the SCORE regional jail and told not to return to Safeway on South Third Street for a year.

The beer would have cost him $7.17.

Woman ‘knifed’ during fightA 40-year-old woman slammed down her arms so hard

to stop a fight that a knife used to cut pizza popped up from the kitchen counter and stabbed her in the forearm.

The call came in at about 10 p.m. March 9 as a stab-bing. The woman was bleeding profusely from her arm, screaming “I am going to die.” An officer helped her apply pressure to the wound.

She and the estranged father of their child had argued and they got into a fight when he tried to leave. She and the man’s nephew also argued. The two men then got into a fight.

There were conflicting stories as to how the woman was stabbed, but the officer determined that in any case it was accidental.

The uncle didn’t want to rat out his nephew, whom he claimed threatened him with a knife. But there wasn’t enough evidence to arrest the nephew.

The woman was treated at Valley Medical Center for a non-life-threatening injury.

Dying cat is euthanizedA cat in distress lying in a flower bed was rescued by a

Renton animal-control officer March 6, but it was so sick that it was euthanized.

The cat was emaciated and dehydrated but still strong enough to react like a feral cat.

The cat was taken to a veterinarian, who determined that keeping it alive any longer would be inhumane.

Ninfa GregorisNinfa “Nee” Gregoris passed away on March 6, 2014 at

the age of 99. She was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada on November 19, 1914 to parents Vinante and Victoria Pegoraro. She was a Renton High School graduate of the class of 1934 and lived in Renton for most of her 99 years. On September 28, 1940, she married Ermo Gregoris, and they enjoyed 63 years of marriage, until Ermo’s passing in 2003.

Nee enjoyed a life of caring for her family, exploring the northwest with her husband, and teaching her children and grandchildren her Italian cooking traditions of making our special family recipes for spaghetti sauce, antipasto, gnocchi, ravioli and biscotti. At 99, she still enjoyed walks in the neighborhood, hosting family dinners at her house, and rooting for the Seattle Mariners.

Ninfa was preceded in death by her beloved husband Ermo, brother Atteo Pegoraro and daughter-in-law Judy. She is survived by her son Raymond, daughter Diana Bartley, grandchildren Kim Tennican (Scott) and Glenn (Colleen McCarthy), sisters Wanda Capellaro (95) and Dolores Nielsen (81), numerous nieces and nephews and extended family. Nee had a smile, a kind word and a caring gesture for everyone. She will be missed by her family and many friends.

A funeral service will be held at 1:30 pm on Saturday, March 22nd at Greenwood Memorial Park, 350 Monroe Ave NE, Renton, with a reception immediately following.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Renton Historical Museum, 235 Mill Ave S, Renton, WA

The Hazen drill team won the West Central District Dance and Drill competition at Kentwood High School last weekend and advances to state this weekend in Yakima.

Last weekend the 27-member girl squad got the highest overall score of the 22 teams in attendance at the District 3 performances of 4A, 3A and 2A teams.

In the 3A Pom division, the girls competed against teams from Orting, Lakes, Kennedy, North Thurston and Deca-tur. In the 3A Military competition, they competed against Decatur, Highline and Shelton.

The win was a repeat from last year, when Hazen was the 3A Pom and Military champions. The Pom category re-quires the use of poms, while the Military category focuses on precision and no other props.

“Teams are judged on technique, team execution, con-tent and overall effect in all other categories,” wrote Kristin Sargent, Hazen drill adviser.

Other teams competing in the 3A Pom category included Kennedy, Decatur, Mercer Island, Bellevue, Shorewood, Shandle Park, Lakes, North Thurston and Mount Tahoma. Other 3A Military teams included Interlake, Bellevue, Decatur, Shorewood, Mercer Island, Liberty, Shelton and Highline.

the diversity at all levels, as we can clearly see the increasing diversity in the population demographics in our area,” Moore said.

As next steps, the committee proposed several mea-sures to address increasing the applicant pool of women and minorities, including through advertising, outreach to training and apprenticeships and through working with principals to encourage women and minorities in the school community to apply.

The newly revised affirmative action plan is required by the state and replaces the 2012-2019 plan.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

Best of Renton 2013Spotlight

Boeing kicked off a project Monday that will more than double the size of its 737 Commercial Delivery Center (CDC) at Boeing Field in Seattle.

The center is for 737 customers and groups supporting increased 737 deliveries.

“Our customers expect and deserve a first-class facility when they come to pick up their airplanes, and we think these improvements will take their experience to the next level,” said Beverly Wyse, 737 vice president and general manager, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. “A larger, more capable facility is essential as we continue to increase our rates and get ready for the introduction of the new 737 MAX.”

Production of the 737 at Boeing’s Renton plant is set to increase to 42 airplanes per month in April and to 47 air-planes per month in 2017, an increase in output of nearly 50 percent since 2010.

The expanded CDC will be more than 90,000 square feet and include a new three-story building, as well as new de-livery and departure areas with three covered jetways. The CDC expansion is the latest of many investments Boeing is making across the Puget Sound region and in the future of the 737 program, according to a Boeing news release.
