Th e general-aviation businesses at Renton Municipal Airport generate about $17.4 million in economic activity in the local economy, mostly Renton.

Th at estimate of the airport’s economic impact on Renton’s economy comes from a draft report of a Washington state Department of Transportation study of

public airports in the state.Airport businesses either directly or in-

directly support about 270 jobs, according to the study, with a payroll of about $4.8 million in Renton.

But there’s another fi gure – in the bil-lions – in that draft report that really ex-plains the impact the Renton airport and its businesses, mainly Boeing and its 737 production, has on the regional economy.

The artist team of Chaim Bezalel and Yonnah Ben Levy use photographs and painting to create their works in the form of rice paper scrolls mounted on linen. SUBMITTED

The Renton Municipal Arts Com-mission is presenting a local artist team comprised of Chaim Bezalel and Yonnah Ben Levy who combine photog-raphy and painting in the form of rice paper scrolls mounted on linen.

The exhibit will be on display through Dec. 5 at Carco Theatre. The public can attend the artist reception on Saturday, Nov. 5, from 5 to 7 p.m., to view the art and meet the artist.

Shortly after meeting more than 20 years ago, the Bezalel-Levy collabora-tion began. In a staged process, the art-ists work with themes, subjects, compo-sitions, colors and techniques, with one leading the other at different times.

In the Bezalel-Levy relationship, the photographer submits to having his composition painted over, sometimes obscured, and the painter is content to paint the partner’s image. In many of the paintings, the underlying photo-

graph shows through in some areas, or the frame of the photograph is main-tained.

In the past several years Bezalel-Levy, as they jointly sign, have had their work selected for a dozen health care facilities including several in Washington state, New York City, Denver, and Houston. To view more of their work, visit www.stanwoodhouse.com.

Carco Theatre, adjacent to the Renton Community Center, is located at 1717 Maple Valley Highway at the intersection of I-405 and Maple Val-ley Highway. Theatre hours of opera-tion are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, with additional view-ing on show nights. Please contact the theatre for show times at 425-430-6706 or at rentonwa.gov.

Th e Renton Historical Society raised about $8,150 at its benefi t dinner and auction that will go to support the Renton History Mu-seum’s mission.

Th e event, emceed by TV per-sonality John Keister, was attended by 145 guests at the Renton Senior Activity Center on Oct. 26.

Th e museum’s mission includes

exhibits, classroom outreach, events and care of its collection of his-toric objects and photographs, said Elizabeth Stewart, the museum’s director.

“Funds raised primarily enable us to improve the quality of our exhibits, because we’re really work-ing hard right now to ensure that we change exhibits more frequently

and that we make them more inter-esting and educational,” she said.

Th e fi rst exhibit next year is “Two By Two: Students Reinter-pret Renton History,” which will showcase Renton High students’ thoughts on the museum’s collec-tion. “Th e students bring a fresh perspective on the city’s heritage, which will be exciting,” she said.

Stewart also sees this as a chance to get out word about the museum’s master plan, which is changing “what we do at the museum,” she said.

“We hope more people will con-tinue to invest their time, money, and support in working with us to preserve and educate about Renton’s history,” she said.

The following information was compiled from City of Renton police reports.

BY TRACEY COMPTON

[email protected]

A gun was mentioned in a domestic as-sault between siblings and an ex-boyfriend on Oct. 27.

This incident occurred around 12:30 p.m. in the 200 block of Jericho Avenue Northeast in Renton.

A 22-year-old Renton woman was in front of the residence with her ex-boyfriend, who came over to pick up their child. The woman’s mother, a 46-year-old woman, came outside when she heard a commotion and a mention of a gun.

The 21-year-old brother of the younger woman had stormed outside and reported-ly picked up his sister and threw her to the ground. He told police he confronted her because her ex-boyfriend was not supposed to be at the house. The man also said his sister tripped over an exposed tree root and fell. The brother said he was moving her out of the way because he did not want her blasted by a gun he saw on the passenger seat of the ex-boyfriend’s car.

Two witnesses said they did not see a gun.

The brother was arrested for investiga-tion of fourth-degree assault for picking his sister up by the collar of her vest and throwing her to the ground, causing her pain.

Coffee-stand worker citedA coffee-stand employee was issued a

citation for stealing more than $700 from the store till on Oct. 27.

An 18-year-old female employee of Safeway on South Third Street admitted to making fake refunds and pocketing $750 during the last three months that she was employed. She took the money because she said her father threatened to kick her out if she didn’t help with the rent. The girl said she was three months pregnant and did not want to be homeless. She also said $600 of the money she stole went to rent and the $150 went to pay for a new clutch for her father.

She was issued a criminal citation, re-leased and trespassed from the store.

Student has knife, drugsA middle-school student was taken into

custody for possession of a knife and drugs on Oct. 21.

Nelsen Middle School security found a knife and a plant-like substance consistent with hallucinogenic mushrooms in the locker of a 14-year-old male student.

Police arrived at the school at 2403 Jones Ave. S.E. around 3:30 p.m.

Another student said that the 14-year-old had approached them offering to sell them some marijuana. This prompted a search of the 14-year-old’s locker. The student said he just told the other student where he could purchase some marijuana. He claimed

the knife belonged to a friend and ac-knowledged it was in his backpack.

The student’s mother was called and she was on her way to the school as police transported the boy to the Renton Police Station. He was held there waiting to be transported to the King County Youth Center.

Knife pulled in disputeTwo Renton men got into a dispute and

one pulled a knife on Oct. 24.Around 12:20 p.m. in the 800 block of

Harrington Avenue Northeast, the two men got into an argument about a couch in a van and plans to use the vehicle. When one of the men didn’t like being told he couldn’t use the van, the other man tried to pull him out of the driver’s seat.

In response the man pulled a knife on the other man and told him he was sick of him threatening him. The other man fled.

The man with the knife was about to be arrested for investigation of felony harass-ment, but the two men talked and one did not want to press charges or be the victim in the situation.

Police released the man and took his knife into evidence.

Suspicious fliers, graffitiSuspicious fliers and graffiti were found

in a Renton neighborhood on Oct. 24.

A resident reported to police that two fliers were taped in her neighborhood de-picting a person hanging from a rope and it read, “slope on a rope.”

It also stated that the community was angry and didn’t tolerate “pukes like you.”

The two signs were posted with duct tape and covered in a plastic sheet protector. One was on the “Welcome to Renton” city sign on Pierce Avenue Southeast. The other was taped to the community mailboxes in front of an address on 129th Place South-east.

The 48-year-old woman who reported the incident said that the previous week several houses in the area where hit with graffiti. The word “slope” had been spray painted on fences and some homes.

Police didn’t know if the word “slope” was a graffiti tag or a racial slur. They also didn’t know if the flier was directed as a racial slur or referring to the “tag” used by the suspect who spray painted the houses.

Suspicious circumstancesAn ex-boyfriend was suspected in suspi-

cious circumstances surrounding ex-girl-friend’s car in mid-October.

A man called to report the incident involving his girlfriend to police on Oct. 24.

The 41-year-old Renton man said an unknown person had loosened the valve stem on the left rear tire on his girlfriend’s vehicle sometime between Oct. 21 and Oct. 22.

He and his girlfriend, a 45-year-old Renton resident, suspected her ex-boy-friend may have done it out of jealousy.

Police Blotter


opened a state-of-the-art aviation center in July.

“We definitely see a future here,” said Diane Paholke, who owns and operates Pro-Flight Aviation. Husband Bernie is the company’s director of maintenance.

Pro-flight’s core busi-ness is to train pilots, fuel airplanes and keep them in good working order. It’s the only spot on the airport where general-aviation aircraft can buy fuel.

It’s also an economic engine that sends business to local hotels, restaurants, car-rental companies and caterers.

Despite the success, the airport’s largest fixed-base operator wanted to grow its business, making an investment during tough economic times to position itself for the future.

Pro-Flight opened at the airport in October 1994 and for the intervening years operated from two locations. But to grow, the company needed to consoli-date its business lines into one building, Diane Paholke said.

From just one hangar, it now has eight. “We were stepping on each other,” Paholke said. Two of the eight hangars are used for maintenance.

The space and design gives the company the ef-ficiency it needed.

Bernie Paholke designed the 28,000-square-foot building, featuring what they described as the “latest and greatest” for such an aviation center. It has drawn the interest of others in the aviation industry.

The company employs 16 workers or up to a half-dozen more, depending on the season. Those jobs range from flight instructors to mechanics to office workers.

Paholke draws customers locally and from out of the

area, including corporate jets and others who like the convenient access to Se-attle and the Eastside from Renton.

“We really are an economic engine,” said Paholke.

With her array of traveler services, Paholke can of-fer her customers a quick turnaround, not to mention a place to park the airplane and check it over.

“Time matters to these people,” she said.

Pro-Flight owned one of the two buildings from which it previously oper-ated. It subleased its office on the southwest corner of the airport and sold its maintenance shop to a private party who will use it for hangar space.

Pro-Flight is also the base for the King County Sheriff ’s Office’s Guardian 1 helicopter, which until earlier this summer was based at Boeing Field. The news helicopters for KOMO TV and KIRO TV also are based at Pro-Flight.

Pro-Flight and the 16 other businesses at the airport with storefronts – including Boeing – will con-tribute about $2.6 million this year in revenue through leases, leasehold excise taxes and other sources to support the airport. The city-owned airport is self-supporting.

Of that, Boeing will pay the most – about $1.5 mil-lion. The rest, about $1.1 million, will come from the other tenants.

Those tenants also mean jobs. The state draft report estimates that those busi-nesses provide about 200 direct jobs.

There are several private companies with aircraft based in Renton that don’t have a “storefront” on the airport, Zulauf said, but the aircraft is used to support businesses within Renton and the region.

Pro-Flight Aviation, owned and operated by Diane and Bernie Paholke, is the airport’s largest fixed-based operator. DEAN A. RADFORD, Renton Reporter

Mary Alice Heuschel has executive experience

Th e election for commissioner Public Hospital District No. 1 (Valley Medical Center) is under way. Th e strongest can-didate, who will protect the public status of the hospital and who will work hard to implement the new alliance with UW Medicine, is Mary Alice Heuschel. You may know her as the current superintendent of Renton schools, where she has received national recognition for her work.

Mary Alice provides experienced executive leadership – which is required on the hospital board – and she is the only candidate with experience managing large taxpayer budgets.

Mary Alice is the only candidate with an extensive list of endorsements, including the Kent and Renton fi refi ghters, the nurses of Valley Medical Center, the mayors of Renton, Kent, Covington and Newcastle, various organizations such as the Boeing Aerospace Machinists, and many doctors, and members of our communities. Th ese well-respected individuals and organiza-tions endorse Mary Alice because they know she is the perfect candidate for the job.

Please vote for Mary Alice Heuschel for hospital commissioner and mail in your ballot before Nov. 8. Th is election is too important to the health of our communities to not pick the best choice.Glenn GarrettRenton

Robin Jones knowshow to listen, solve

I am a professional project manager, working for Th e Boeing Co. in Seattle. I have had the pleasure of working with Robin Jones for the past two years. When I came on board, he mentored me to become productive very quickly. Now we have the opportunity to collaborate from time to time, which I enjoy because he is responsible and can be depended on to lead the way. Robin has always dealt honestly and reliably, with me and with his other teams. He has been entrusted with dif-fi cult, complex projects because he knows how to listen, solve problems and handle himself professionally at all times. I highly recommend Robin Jones for Renton City Council. He will serve with intelligence and integrity.Nola ColemanLynnwood

Don Persson worksfor a better Renton

We, your neighbors and fellow voters, urge your support for the re-election of Don Persson, City Council, Position 7.

As a long-time Renton resident and city employee, Don is committed to making our city a better place to live. Don is always willing to volunteer his time and talent in

support of issues that bring value to our community.

Don is fi scally responsible, recognizing the need for a balanced budget while still providing the high level of service we desire and receive.

Vote for leadership, experience, and commitment – vote for Don Persson.David and Melody Kroeger Renton

Ed Prince willrepresent all of us

As someone who is committed to sustaining the environment while also sus-taining the economy, I look to the Conser-vation Voters to see who they support for Renton City Council. I note that Ed Prince was the only candidate in Renton endorsed by the Conservation Voters. I also see he was endorsed by the Renton Chamber of Commerce, and labor and the Realtors. He has also been endorsed by people who are known to be liberal and by people who are known to be conservative. What struck me as interesting about Ed Prince and his endorsements was how varied they are. He has actually earned the support of people and organizations in Renton and around the Puget Sound that don’t always agree. What a concept! Ed had my vote at the Conservation Voters, but I think what should earn him ours collectively is that his experience and his ability to work with people from varying viewpoints shows him to be a person who can work with people from both (or all) sides of an issue. Th is is exactly what the Renton City Council needs — there are conservatives and liberals on the council, environmentalists and business owners and people from all walks of life. Ed Prince won’t be representing one “type” of interest — he’ll be representing ours.Justin HartKennydale

Prince wants to dowhat’s best for city

I have lived in Renton for more than 10 years, and I am a local small business owner. Th is city’s future is important to me, and I know that Ed Prince has what it takes — the dedication, the knowledge, and the right attitude to do what’s right for Renton. Aft er watching the elections and the offi cials in this city for the last 10 years (and anywhere in the state or the country), it seems that you can learn a lot about what kind of elected offi cial someone will be by how they run their race. I would like to commend Ed Prince on spending the last eight or nine months talking to the voters about the issues in Renton, not smearing his opponent. I loved that he invited people out to meet him and talk about the issues — it tells me that he wants to know what is important to us, and that he cares about the people in Renton Ed Prince is taking this step because he actually wants to do

We thought the fi reworks would remain unlit for this

year’s general election. We were wrong.

The retirement of King Parker from the Renton City

Council left in its wake one of the most personally

charged elections in recent memory. The important issues of the day

got lost in the race between Robin Jones and Ed Prince to replace

Parker on the council.

The campaign went sideways when all perspective was lost in the

intense debate over Prince’s personal and fi nancial life. Prince was

branded by rhetoric that while based on fact didn’t refl ect the entire

story. That branding never should have happened.

We would argue that part of what voters must consider in choos-

ing their leaders is the relevancy of the information, good and bad,

that they hear during the campaign. Rosemary Quesenberry, one of

Jones’ campaign volunteers, dug deep in public records and found

information about Prince’s personal fi nances and a traffi c ticket. But

documents don’t tell the whole story.

We believe Prince’s explanations. He lost his home because of a job

loss; that has become a norm. Yes, he could have understood better

how to obtain jobless benefi ts, but he didn’t intend to commit fraud

and he relied on information from a state employee. He stuck up for

himself.

Prince would bring the types of personal and fi nancial challenges

that no one else on the council has faced. That’s an everyman’s

perspective.

But there was still room for doubt.

In our view the decision by the Renton Police Offi cers Guild to pull

its endorsement of Prince carried some weight. But that was more

than balanced out by the decision of two other unions representing

city employees to stick by their endorsement of Prince.

Someone on our website in the midst of an ongoing online debate

asked whether we would reconsider our endorsement of Jones. The

answer is no. Jones, as we argued, would bring a fresh perspective to

the City Council. That’s unquestioned.

So where does Jones stand in this controversy? He sidelined the

mortgage default issue quickly, but still pointed to what he saw

as a pattern in how Prince handled his family’s fi nances. Some say

Quesenberry was throwing mud at Prince; Jones could have done

more to wipe off some of that mud or at least help tone down the

rhetoric coming from his volunteer.

Two other council races are contested. They’ve been overshad-

owed by the Prince-Jones race but are equally important to

how the council votes on key city issues. The Renton Reporter

endorsed incumbents Don Persson and Greg Taylor in those

two races.

For the sake of the democratic process, we wish Denis Law would

have had an opponent in his race for a second term as mayor. Good,

honest – and clean – debate is the lifeblood of our democracy. A bye

obviously limits that debate.

But, frankly, Law is pretty much unbeatable, as his leadership has

brought the city through tough economic times. Those times aren’t

over yet, so his vision and stewardship are very much needed.

He has also taken a measured approach on the annexation of West

Hill, warning of its impacts on city fi nances and on Renton’s current

residents. But he also honors the process the City Council set in mo-

tion when it decided to place the annexation on the February ballot.

Life will go on after the fi nal vote is counted in Tuesday’s general

election. There will be at least one new face on the City Council. But

the election won’t change the diffi cult issues facing Renton. It could

change the council’s dynamics.

We would expect that the new City Council member would join his

fellow councilors in a spirit of cooperation to immediately get down

to the challenging business of running the city.

the best he can for the city he loves. He has the kind of civic resume you WANT in a City Council person. Ed has been working for Renton for years. I know Ed will do the work to support Renton’s businesses, create good local jobs, and keep our streets safe, because he’s already been doing it for years. He has my vote.Alex GillespieRenton

Prince has a call to duty for city

It’s funny how life works out. I have known Ed Prince since I was three years old. We were neigh-bors growing up on Beacon Hill, and now Ed and I both live in Renton, he with his wife and son and me with my wife and children. I have known Ed almost my entire life, and I have seen Ed blossom as a father and family man.

When he and Meegan adopted their son Alex, becoming a parent changed him, as it changes everyone. Ed has always had a sort of global sense of responsibil-ity to his community, an expectation of himself to serve. But when he became a Dad, that commitment to be a decent steward of our world both intensified outwardly, and truly came home inwardly. Ed puts his family first in every way, and for him that includes doing the right thing in his community. It includes everything from being environmentally sensible to working on public safety issues to being there for people who hit hard times, because the world he’s help-ing to shape is the world he’s giving to his son. Ed’s outlook on community service and on taking care of his family are one and the same — it is a truly sat-isfying call to duty that he approaches with love and enjoyment and dedication to doing the best he can. That’s the kind of man I want on our City Council.Lawrence L. CorpuzRenton

Prince a man of character

By now I hope the voters know that I fully endorse Ed Prince for the City Council. I have shared with you my belief that he is a man of character and brings

a great skill set and experi-ence to our city. But now, more than ever, we need a council member who can work as a member of a team, focus on the issues and help lead the city into the future.

I found Robin Jones’ comment at the Leisure Es-tates candidate forum that “Boeing doesn’t hire dum-mies anymore” in appall-ingly poor taste. The people of Boeing have been shap-ing Renton for decades, and we owe them a great debt for their work. In the next few months, Boeing will make its decision on where to build the 737 Max. This is one of the most crucial is-sues facing Renton in many, many, years. And Renton’s council and administra-tion will need to work hard locally and regionally to make sure that Renton is in contention to build this new and exciting jet.

Ed Prince will be a vital part of that team. Ed will bring his experience and statewide connections to the city’s efforts. He will be able to hit the ground running and help the city deliver the right message. And as his campaign has shown, Ed will bring a positive attitude and the forward-thinking vision the city needs right now. This is not a time to get side-tracked; it’s time for us to stay ahead of the curve and

secure Renton’s future for decades to come. Impor-tant challenges face us, but Renton’s future is bright and Ed Prince can and will help us make it even brighter.

I urge you to vote for Ed Prince.King ParkerRenton City Council

Jones showed work experience

Respectfully, King Parker did not attend the Leisure Estates candidate forum; I assume that he is receiv-ing the story second hand without understanding the context and intent that the comment was made. The comment came during a period when the candidates were asked to present their background. The intent was to highlight my strong work experience, through my work at Boeing. I realize that my meaning may not have been clear and I apolo-gize for any misunder-standing of my comment. Boeing is a very important part of my personal life, and of course our com-munity. Mary and I work for Boeing, and I am proud of my endorsement by the IAM 751. Keeping Boe-ing in Renton is one of my highest priorities and I’m looking forward to working in unison with the mayor and City Council toward

ensuring that result. It’s a privilege to work with such a talented group of people every day. Thank you.Robin JonesRenton

Prince works for community

I met Ed Prince at the Cascade Neighborhood pic-nic this past summer and was immediately impressed by him. I am currently serving as the president of my homeowners associa-tion, and when Ed realized he had not been in my neighborhood he asked if I would accompany him on a walking tour of our neighborhood so he could fully understand the issues our neighborhood is facing. During the tour Ed met several of our neighbors and also patiently listened to an issue our neighbor-hood was trying to clarify with the City of Renton. After the tour, Ed did some research on his own and passed along useful infor-mation to help us resolve the issue.

Ed has an impressive community-based resume which is validated by an equally impressive list of endorsements. Therefore, I was quite dismayed by the choice of his opponent’s campaign to go negative and try to discredit Ed, based on some personal issues Ed has faced in his life (really, non-issues in this campaign). I found the issues to be similar to paths many of us have walked

down in life. It’s how we face and address the issues life deals us that make us stronger, wiser and experi-enced as we make decisions in the future.

Ed Prince will make an excellent Renton City Council member. He is attentive, thoughtful, and intelligent. I and many, many others have found him to be extremely knowl-edgeable about Renton and its people, issues and needs. Ed is dedicated to our city. Dean ZinckRenton

No skeletons in their closets

I believe that when a person wants to serve on our Renton City Council they should be exemplary individuals. They should be pillars of our community, their backgrounds should be impeccable. They should be a cut above the rest and an example to the people they represent. There should be no skeletons in their closet.

I have served over 37 years as a police officer and I am a Vietnam veteran. I have lived in Renton for over 30 years. I support the decision of the Renton Police Officers Guild to pull their endorsement of Mr. Prince.

The guild made their decision based on careful review of recorded court documents, not allegations. Mr. Prince’s values do NOT reflect the values of our community.

Robin Jones has that impeccable background that will serve our commu-nity well. Robin Jones is a deputy commander of over 1,600 men and women in our military. That position would not have ever been achieved if his background was in question.

I already voted for Robin and I ask you to join me. Robin is endorsed by the King County Democrats and the 11th District Democrats.Sgt. Eddie RiveraRenton

Don Persson quality councilor

I have known Don Persson through his work with Rotary and his years on the city council, and I cannot say enough about him. Don always does his homework and is extremely knowledgeable, but is also a great listener, and is not afraid to change his mind based on the merits of an issue. He is kind, thought-ful and generous to a fault. His experience working in the city brings an expertise and background that offers a great balance to the coun-cil. He is a highly ethical person, and quite simply, an extraordinary asset to our council and our city. Don Persson deserves our vote for another term on the city council, but more impor-tantly, Renton deserves the quality councilman that Don Persson is.Terri BriereRenton

When opportunity didn’t pres-ent itself to Richard Youngblood, he created a way for himself and others with his first business venture, R & D Thrift Store and Consignment Gallery in Renton.

The store held a ribbon-cutting last month and has been open since July.

The 62-year-old was frustrated he couldn’t find a job in April.

Youngblood had previously worked in retail for Sears for 12 years, working his way into man-agement. He went from Sears to Wal-Mart, becoming an assistant manager, training employees and setting up new stores.

Then he found himself out of work in 2010 and said he had “way too much talent to sit home and do nothing.”

The decision to act came after he was watching CNN and saw a news report. The broadcast was about how dollar stores were out-performing Wal-Mart.

Youngblood remembers the re-porter saying, “The greatest thing you could do right now if you’re looking for a venture is to open a thrift store.”

The economy had produced a population hungry for money-saving deals and Youngblood

seized the opportunity, opening up R & D Thrift Store at 226 Wells Ave. S.

Scouring estate and garage sales, he looks for his inventory going to about two to three estate sales and seven to 10 garage sales a week.

But, the job is more than just a means to a paycheck for Young-blood. It’s a way to help people going through hard times and a chance to help the community.

“This way here you can help people, you can help others,” he said. “You can do so many good

things and it’s all about pricing this merchandise.”

Youngblood buys his merchan-dise and sets prices so that he can pass value on to his customers. It involves some haggling and if people aren’t interested in his mission, he’s been known to walk away from sellers.

His store has everything from clothing, art work, decorative arts, shoes and jewelry to appliances.

But, he often becomes friends with the vendors at the estate and garage sales he frequents.

“I tell people the one thing in

life that you can never go wrong on: being honest and treating people like you want to be treated yourself,” said Youngblood. “If you keep that in mind and just go on and live that everyday, it’s going to come around.”

Paying it forward, he talks to friends and family about, “what can we do to help people in this city.”

He has donated items to different community organiza-tions, such as the Lions Club, the Renton Clothing Bank and to an organization that helps troubled teens.

Youngblood has also outfitted homeless people walking past his shop with clothes from inside.

It’s his passion and something he’s motivated to do, he says, hav-ing come from a difficult child-hood.

He doesn’t think people have quite discovered his store yet, but the people that do come in remark on its cleanliness and the deals.

Youngblood runs the store with his wife Donna and their neigh-bor, Pam Sherry.

“We’re good neighbors and we just get along really well and we work well together,” said Sherry.

She hadn’t worked in years, so it was a welcome opportunity to help the Youngbloods out.

Donna Youngblood’s father is the late Jesse Tanner, former Renton mayor and City Council member, and her family dates back to the late 1800s in the city.

When it came time to choose a location for their store, Young-blood said, “There was no other place I would have opened a busi-ness other than here.”

The city has been good to them since they opened, Youngblood said.

“They’ve gone out of their way to help make this an easy transi-tion for me to adjust to it,” he said.

It will take him some time to get the right mix of merchandise in the store, but Youngblood said he’s committed to it.

“It’s fun to see people come in, the glare and passion in their eyes,” he said of bargain and trea-sure shoppers.

A teacher-led education reform group is proposing changes in the evaluation system of teachers and principals that doesn’t just weed out incompetent staff.

Julianna Dauble, Renton teacher and co-author of the report, believes teacher-peer collabora-tion should be part of the process providing educators with more constructive feedback.

Less emphasis should be placed on standardized tests, she said.

Dauble has taught in Renton for eight years, currently at Sierra Heights Elementary and is a mem-ber of the New Millennium Initia-tive. The focus group is made up of “teacher leaders” who advocate for teaching policy reforms to benefit all students.

In response to teacher evalua-tion law, formerly Senate Bill 6696, which passed in 2010, the group has come up with a set of recom-mendations for the new process.

Schools districts in the state have two more years to pilot teacher and principal evaluation programs before they have to implement the new law by school year 2013-2014.

Previously teachers in the state were evaluated on a satisfactory/not satisfactory system that’s now being phased out. It was a yearly evalu-ation, which encompassed two, 45-minute classroom observations.

The new evaluation includes principals in the same format and looks at performance on a four-

tiered system. It takes into account planning and preparation, instruc-tion, environment, leadership and responsibilities.

“So the new law values the fact that teachers do much much more than just standing in front of a class and teaching,” Dauble said.

They spend time planning with colleagues, working on schoolwide improvement plans, reaching out to the community and communicat-ing with families, she said.

What the New Millennium Initiative is proposing also includes teachers evaluating teachers and giving feedback and collecting observations from parents and students on teacher performance. Additionally, it calls for recognizing teachers that have taken on leader-ship positions.

The New Millennium group wants student assessment to be a part of teacher’s final evaluation,

but not just standardized state tests. They want teacher created assess-

ments and “collaboratively designed school-based assessments.”

The state, because of efficiency and lack of funds, is struggling with whether to keep the model of local districts bargaining and creating their own evaluation that has buyin from staff and is understood versus the state having a one-size-fits-all evaluation for everybody, Dauble said.

A representative on the issue from the state Office of the Super-intendent of Public Instruction agrees that a combination is needed but said there should be an agreed-upon definition of what effective teaching and leading looks like across the state.

“A 2 or a 3 (level teacher or prin-cipal) in North Shore should look similar in Nooksack,” said Michaela Miller. She is OSPI’s teacher-princi-

pal evaluation project manager. Districts are tied to the state

legislative requirements and to state Superintendent Randy Dorn’s final recommendations, which will be released in 2012, Miller said.

Last year pilot programs were developed and put into place this year. Also, 65 districts received a grant to move forward with major components that will be in the new evaluation model, Miller said.

It is her understanding that the state Legislature is looking for a real system and culture change, as the current evaluation system has been in place for 25 years.

It would require a change in law for the New Millennium recom-mendations to be implemented. Right now, the law states that the principal or an administrator is still the observer.

Dauble believes there are ways to get around the law and have less isolation by having teachers still observe other teachers and give feedback as part of the evaluation process.

The Renton School District has a protocol called the “Vision of Instruction” that “includes prin-cipals observations of teachers in classrooms and personal reflections provided by teachers,” said Randy Matheson, district spokesperson.

Dauble still has hope that her group’s changes could be imple-mented.

She calls the relationship betweenthe Renton School District and the teacher’s union, of which she is a member, one of the most positive and productive in the area.

“We are really fortunate to have leaders at the district who under-stand that the union is all about student learning,” she said.

Because of that she is hopeful and says that Renton is further along in implementing a new evaluation system because of that positive relationship.

Liberty High School presents Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet this November. The Capulets (Paige Fallon and Ari Kohrn, left) face off against the Montagues (Michael Reddy and Paige Smith, right). SUBMITTED

Th e Liberty High School Patriot Players will present William Shakespeare’s “Ro-meo and Juliet” in their auditorium for the fi rst time this fall.

Th e show runs at 7:30 p.m., Nov. 11, 12, 17 and 18. It also runs at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 19.

Th e Liberty auditorium is located at 16655 S.E. 136th St., in Renton. Tickets are available at the door for adults, $8; seniors, those under 12 or with a Liberty ASB card, $6.

Th e cast of nearly 30 students has been working on the production for two months learning free verse, Renaissance dance and sword play.

“(Students) scan (fi gure out the correct rhythm and stresses) and translate every line into their own words before we begin staging,” said Katherine Klekas, director.

“Th e stage manager types up the trans-lated text and the students improvise the action while speaking their own words, just to be sure that they understand and own the dynamics of the scene.”

Students in the production fi nd the characters that they portray to be very relatable and challenging.

“All of Shakespeare’s characters are so easy to relate to, especially for modern day teenagers in this specifi c show,” said Lib-erty senior Sierra Hunt, who plays Tybalt.

Students found that learning the rhythm and understanding the lines make it easier to memorize them.

“Th is is a hard-working, committed, brave group of young actors,” said Klekas. “Th ey will do the story justice, and the audience is in for a truly moving experi-ence.”

Renton couldn’t snap out of a late-season funk and fell to Port Angeles 23-6 in a sub-district playoff game Tuesday night at Renton Memorial Stadium.

Th e Indians (4-6 overall, 3-3 Seamount) fi nished the year winless in their fi nal three games aft er starting 4-3.

“We’ve been on this downward skid starting with Foster,” said Renton coach Donald Ponds. “I’m not sure what happened, but we defi nitely, defi nitely didn’t execute down the stretch.”

Against the Roughrid-ers Tuesday night, Renton moved the ball well at times, but oft en seemed to make a mistake at the worst time.

Th e Indians lost 28 yards on a high snap on their fi rst drive, then

Success (plus).Th at’s how Lindbergh

girls soccer coach James Valles described the Eagles’ approach to the postseason. Having already locked up the fi rst Seamount champi-onship anyone at the school can remember, and a big win over rival Kennedy Catholic, anything beyond this is icing on the cake.

“It’s been a successful season,” Valles said. “It can be an even more successful season. It’s success, plus.”

Even with the accom-plishments already in hand, Lindbergh (11-5) is hungry to make a dent as the playoff s get under way. Th e Eagles took on Franklin Pierce (3-5-1) in a sub-district playoff game Wednesday night. If they won, they play North Kitsap (9-1-5) at North Kitsap High School Saturday at 1 p.m. in a winner-to-state, loser-out game.

“Th ey’re really excited,” Valles said. “If we don’t go all the way, at least we can say we’re Seamount cham-pions, which is a pretty big deal.”

Th e team’s season is even more impressive consider-ing the Eagles are on their

third head coach in four years and don’t have enough players for a JV team. Still, the team has been growing, and obvi-

ously it’s making positive strides.

“I’m glad to see the program has grown,” said senior Jordyn McLuen. “It was pretty sad having only 16 girls show up. But it’s defi nitely gotten better.”

McLuen, a senior for-ward, has nine goals and seven assists for the Eagles this season. Her nine goals are second only to senior

Whitney Hilde, who has 10.Hilde is an attacking

midfi elder and one of three senior Eagles, along with McLuen and defender Kimi Girmus, who made the all-league fi rst team last year.

Th e program’s growth is a welcome to surprise to the three.

“I would’ve never thought we would be here,” Hilde said. “Honestly I just came out ready to play, we worked hard and it came to us.”

Girmus echoed Hilde’s assessment.

Hazen’s Kayla DiMicco is anomaly. Th e sophomore has qualifi ed for the 3A state meet in four swimming events, and diving, putting her in rare air.

“I’m confi dent there’s no one in state who’s qualifi ed for diving and an individual event one time,” said Hazen coach Rick Wertman. “To do it four times, it shows the quality of athlete she is.”

DiMicco got the post-season off to a great start, helping Hazen win a second straight Sea-mount League meet by taking two individual wins (100 fl y and 200 free).

“It was su-per exciting,” DiMicco said. “To help the team take fi rst for the second year in a row was great.”

Aft er not diving at the league meet, she is excited to get back at it in districts

Friday and Saturday. She will also dive at the state meet Nov. 10-12.

In addition to her competitors at state, DiMicco has the extra logistical challenges of being a swimmer and diver at the state meet. Wertman said the meet is not set up to help athletes to do both, with race and event times very close together.

“If the two were totally diff erent and unrelated I could understand,” he said. “But they’re the same sport. So it doesn’t pay off to be the anomaly here.”

DiMicco takes the challenge of essentially practicing twice for two sports at once in stride.

“It defi nitely can be diffi cult,” she said. “But I have great coaches, which helps a lot.”

If forced to pick one, DiMicco would side with swimming, which she does year-round for the Issaquah Swim Team.

“I’ve dedicated a lot more time to swim-ming since I do it year-round,” she said. “Plus it keeps me in shape.”

Wertman said the great thing about DiMicco, who her fellow Hazen cheerleaders have dubbed “Sweetheart,” is her attitude.

“She’s the sweetest girl you’d ever want to meet,” he said. “She’s achieves what she does with intellect and toughness. She’s a student of the game … if she can wrap her mind around it, she’ll fi nd a way to get there.”

If Lindbergh swim and dive coach Roger Miron could pick the model athlete to join his team, he might just go with someone like junior Kaitlin Zinsli.

“It’s almost like she only has one speed,” Miron said. “She’s just an amazing athlete.”

Zinsli joined the team as a freshman with minimal experience. Miron said she could make it down the lane safely, and that was about it. But she caught on quickly.

“Depending on the event, we tell her how to swim it and she does it,” Miron said. “She listens to everything we say and has an amaz-ing work ethic.”

Th at work came to fruition Oct. 11 against Archbishop Murphy when Zinsli qualifi ed for the 2A state meet in the 50-yard freestyle.

“Th at was pretty much my goal for the year,” she said. “I was really surprised, I didn’t really expect it. I’m defi nitely happy that it happened though.”

Miron said he told Zinsli to simply keep up with an Archbishop Murphy swimmer he knew was swimming at the state time.

“It’s a really big feeling of accomplishment that I came from not being able to swim very well to this,” she said. “But if I could drop more time, I’d be happy.”

Zinsli has qualifi ed for districts in four events and hopes to also make state in the 100 free.

“For a girl to do that with no year-round experience is a big testament to her character and her work ethic,” Miron said.


Th e Hazen swim and dive team took home the Seamount title last weekend.

Th e Highlanders scored 405 points at the league meet to top second-place Kennedy Catholic with 301. Lindbergh followed in third with 232, and Renton in fourth with 138.

Hazen won the 200-yard medley relay. Th e Highlanders relay was made up of Talisa Wibmer, Kourtney Brunings, Kayla DiMicco and Taylor Gale.

DiMicco went on to also win the 200 free and 100 fl y. Wimber won the 200 IM and the 100 free. Hazen freshman Anna Col-lons won the 100 back. Brunings won the 100 breast.

Hazen’s 400 free relay team (Amy LeBar, Brunings, Wibmer and DiMicco) also won.

Lindbergh highlights:Th e Eagles’ 200 medley relay (Sarah

Batschi, Chelsey Guhlke, Lauren Miller and

Kaitlin Zinsli) placed sec-ond and swam a district-qualifying time.

Miller and Guhlke both swam district times

in the 200 IM. Zinsli swam a district time in the

50 free and 100 free, and placed second in the 50.

Lindbergh’s team of Guhlke, Brenna Healy, Miller and Zinsli swam a district time in the 200 free relay.

Renton highlights:Junior Eloisa Bautista placed third in the

200 IM and swam a district time.Jordan Mattheisen and Lynhda Vuong

both swam district times in the 100 free. Vuong placed second.

Renton’s team of Mattheisen, Angela Vu, Bautista and Vuong placed third and swam a district time.

“It’s been amazing,” she said. “We played a whole lot better than I could’ve expected, or even hoped for.”

While the Seamount title is nice, it’s ap-parent the Eagles’ Sept. 27 win against Ken-nedy Catholic is a huge deal to the team. Lindbergh fell behind 1-0 in that game, but McLuen scored in the 60th minute on an assist by Hilde. Th en Hilde scored on a penalty kick two minutes later. Girmus and the defense held to maintain the win.

Th e group of seniors couldn’t remember

ever scoring on Kennedy, much less beating the Lancers.

“It’s a great way to spend a senior year,” Girmus said. “Captains, Seamount cham-pions, and the biggest thing was beating Kennedy.”

Th e Eagles took time to celebrate their regular-season accomplishments, but now it’s time to look ahead.

Lindbergh has made the state tourna-ment each of the past two seasons, but bowed out in the fi rst round both times. Th ey’re determined to get farther this year.

“We need to be more consistent in the playoff s,” McLuen said. “We don’t want to say, ‘We could’ve won if we would have done this.’ We don’t want any of those maybes.”

up about a yard short on a fourth-down attempt in Roughrider territory. Th en, aft er another defensive stop, Renton muff ed the ensuing punt,

which gave Port Angeles excellent fi eld position at Renton’s 20-yard line.

Th e Indian defense stiff ened again, forcing Port Angeles to turn the ball over on downs at Renton’s fi ve-yard line. But Renton had trouble with the snap again on the next play, leading to a safety.

“We didn’t catch the ball when we

needed to, we didn’t snap the ball we needed to,” Ponds said. “Th ose are the small things we have to get done.”

Ponds said a big part of the mis-takes is the team’s size.

The Hazen football team started a new homecoming tradition this year to help acknowledge staff members. Head coach Drew Oliver

came up with the idea for all 40 football players to select a Hazen teacher or staff member who has made an impact on their life. The staff members then wore the players’ jerseys all day before Hazen’s homecoming game Oct. 28. SUBMITTED

until his official retirement on Feb. 29, 2012.

A hearing of the Renton Civil Service Commission was sched-uled to begin on Tuesday to hear Marsalisi’s appeal of his demotion from deputy police chief to sergeant in July. But that hearing was canceled after Marsalisi and the City of Renton reached a separation agreement Oct. 28, said Preeti Shridhar, a city spokes-woman.

“We are pleased that we came to an agreement and we both found ways to resolve our issues and move forward,” said Shridhar of the settlement, which becomes effective today (Friday).

Marsalisi and the city had been talking for about a week before the settlement was reached, she said. Such settlements are a part of the civil service process, she said.

Marsalisi couldn’t be reached for comment. The settlement document will become available next week.

Marsalisi was demoted from deputy police chief to sergeant in July as part of the Police Department’s investiga-tion of the circumstances surround-

ing who created nine parodies of the Renton Police Department and the new SCORE jail earlier this year.

Marsalisi, 53, filed his grievance with the Civil Service Commission on July 13, the standard procedure for non-union members. He has been with the Police Department for 18

1/2 years.Renton Po-

lice Chief Kevin Milosevich said in an earlier interview with the Renton Reporter that Marsalisi didn’t create the ini-tial video about the SCORE jail, but he withheld information

about who did. A Police Department investigation found that Bill Judd cre-ated the SCORE video late last year when he was a sergeant.

Judd was demoted to police of-ficer; the City of Renton denied his appeal. The executive committee of the Renton Police Officers Guild will meet in two weeks to consider

whether to represent Judd and two other Police Department employees in filing a grievance against the city.

Besides Judd, speaking before the executive committee and the guild attorney will be Sgt. Steve Ritchie and Officer Tom Smith. Ritchie and Smith were disciplined by the Police Department for their roles in the controversy, Smith when he was an acting sergeant.

“This is a First Amendment issue,” said Sgt. Craig Sjolin, guild president. The question becomes whether the discipline fit the situation, if creation of the videos was protected speech, he said.

“That is potentially what the guild will grieve,” he said.

The guild did not represent Marsalisi because he was not part of the bargaining unit when his viola-tion occurred. He is a member now, as a sergeant.

“I wish the best for Chuck for now and in the future,” said Sjolin, speak-ing for himself and the guild.

The creator of eight other videos went by the online name, MrFuddle-sticks. Judd has indicated to Sjolin that he is not MrFuddlesticks.

Renton Obituaries

Renton Technical College (RTC) students earned top honors at a national entrepreneurship conference last month.

RTC student Dale Adkison won third place in the entrepreneurship/small business program of the National Association of Community College Entrepreneurship conference for his Ergo Trekker, a custom-designed hiking pole.

The conference took place in Portland, Ore. and Adkison presented with fellow students Luis Martinez and Billy Ray.

“I was honored to be a part of this and having speakers come from all over the U.S.,” said student Luis Martinez of his experience. “We were encouraged to continue our dreams. It was really inspirational”.

His peer, Billy Ray added,”Dale put so much energy into this project, it became contagious.”

Their presentation included a business plan, analysis of expenses, revenues during a two-year period, marketing materials and a manufacturing plan. Now prototypes of the Ergo Trekker are being prepared for Backpackers and Seattle Backpackers magazine to review.

“It was nice to see hard work rewarded,” said Instructor Jim Drinkwine. “I am proud of the work the students did.”

Students also attended seminars and workshops during the conference. Fellow students Amber Brown, Monique Sheils, Sonia Copp and Michael Sias provided additional support on the project, but were unable to attend the conference.

After months of work in the Duwamish River on the foundation for a new South Park Bridge, a new phase is beginning that will be much more visible to passersby — construction of the two bridge approaches, bridge sup-ports, girders, and the new bridge deck and rails.

The bridge is important to Renton residents as First Avenue is an important alternative route into downown

Seattle and its industrial area.“One year after our coalition

secured funding for a new bridge, South Park residents can now see for themselves the work that’s well un-derway,” said King County Executive Dow Constantine. “As construction ramps up on both sides of the river, the community will have a front-row seat to witness a new bridge rise above the waters of the Duwamish.

“At the height of construction next fall, as many as 120 workers will be

on the job, bringing activity that will boost South Park businesses,” added the Executive.

Construction has been proceeding on schedule, and the addition of a second weekday shift and a day shift on Satur-days has brought more workers to South Park. More than 50 construction workers continue to perform excavation work for the placement of new piers. By next spring, the piers will have reached a depth of 70 to 100 feet below the riverbed – the equivalent of a seven to ten-story building.

The contractor has kept construction noise to a mini-mum by shrouding the equipment with barriers that contain the sound. Meanwhile, plans are being made for demolition of the remaining bridge structure and control tower in the second half of 2012.

The replacement South Park Bridge is expected to be completed and open to traffic in the fall of 2013.

Bridge work is now more visible

Senior advisory panel needs members

The election in Renton has been highlighted by three contested City Council races and the race to replace Don Jacobson on the Board of Commissioners for Public Hospital District No. 1.

Mayor Denis Law is running unopposed for a second term leading the city.

This weekend promises to be a busy one as the candidates make their final pleas for votes.

Once the voting is done, the public can watch the ballot-processing ac-tivities in person or on live stream-

ing video from three web cams set up at the elections office.

“Local voters and people from all over the world used our first web cam, which was put in place during last year’s General Election, to watch our ballot opening process,” said elections director Sherril Huff in a county press release.

The election cams display activities in the sorting, opening, and scanning areas of elections headquarters.

King County is the largest county in the U.S. to conduct elections entirely by mail, and the department predicts it will process more than

500,000 ballots this election.The election cams will provide

around-the-clock footage of bal-lot processing on the King County Elections website until the election is certified on Nov. 29. Go to www.kingcounty.gov/elections to access the web cams or for more informa-tion about elections.

The public can view the process in person from a viewing loop that circles the main work areas. The loop is open weekdays 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with extended hours on Elec-tion Days. For more information, call 206-296-VOTE (8683).
