Most Renton students choose to not ‘opt out’ of state testsBY TRACEY COMPTON
Testing for the Common Core State Standards is under way in the Renton School District and of-ficials report that so far the num-ber of students that have opted out of taking the tests is low.
Students in grades 3 to 8 and 11 are taking the Smarter Balanced Assessments this spring. More than 90 percent of elementary
students took or are scheduled to take the tests, according to Randy Matheson, district spokesperson.
“Some high school parents signed refusal forms citing their student’s need to focus on other testing such as Advanced Place-ment tests, which will be admin-istered soon,” Matheson said, via email.
The Renton School District continues to identify parents who signed refusal forms to not allow
their student to test, he said. Principals had conversations
with parents about how the assessments would be used by classroom teachers and to ensure they had facts about the state’s Common Core Learning Stan-dards and Smarter Balanced As-sessments, prior to providing the refusal forms, Matheson said.
Currently, all third-graders have completed the English Language Arts portion of the tests
and all 11th-graders have taken the math portions. In the district, every school has developed their own schedule to meet each building’s needs. Testing will be complete by the end of May.
So far, testing in classrooms has been going well, Matheson said. The district was able to detect and rectify computer-related issues in the weeks leading up to the start of testing. That work involved making sure there were the cor-
rect amount of computers, Wi-Fi and routing capacity to allow large numbers of students to simultane-ously take the tests online.
The district is tracking any soft-ware glitches related to the tests, either initiated within the district or from the state’s online testing contractor. The spokesperson said any issues will be reported to the state’s education office.

Cost of cleaning up donated house tops $25,000BY BRIAN BECKLEY
So far the city has spent more than $25,000 cleaning the house that was donat-ed to the city as part of the Kenyon-Dobson property, but city officials are excited that it appears to be in good condition and will not have to be demolished.
“If we can save this house … we get a whole interpretive center,” Community Services Department Administrator Terry Higashiyama said Monday during a meet-ing of the City Council’s Finance Commit-tee. “It’s going to be such a wonderful asset for our community.”
But before it can be opened to the public, the house - which became the city’s as part of the gift left to the city in the will of Ar-thur Kenyon - has to be fully cleaned and the roof will have to be replaced.
So far the city has spent about $26,000 in two rounds of cleaning, according to Higashiyama, including the removal of tons of garbage and cleaning and disinfecting of the entire house, as well as the removal of mold.
The basement, for example, was appar-ently filled nearly to the top of the steps
Renton celebrates Indian Education ProgramBY TRACEY COMPTON
Renton High School hosted the Indian Education Pro-gram’s Culture Night April 30, complete with songs,
dancing, storytelling, information booths and fry bread. The evening was an opportunity for students and families to
get in touch with their Native American roots and to meet the new program liaison, Tommy Segundo.
Segundo is a 2001 graduate of Renton High and the Indian Education Program, which has existed in the district since 1974. The federal program provides supplemental assistance to Native American students through Title VII funding, with one-on-one counseling, home visits, culture nights, college and scholarship application assistance and in-court assistance regarding juvenile issues. The Indian Education Program supports students in grades kindergarten through 12th grade and this year’s popula-

Police arrest four related to burglaries
Two adults and two teens have been arrested for the burglary of an occupied home and police believe there may be a connection to a series of similar burglar-ies throughout the Newcastle and North Renton area.
The two adults are from Kent, while the juveniles are from Renton. All were arrested on suspicion of burglary and booked into jail.
Deputies were called to the 11400 block of Southeast 83rd Street at about 1:45 a.m. Sunday for a report of a suspicious car in a residential neighborhood occupied by four males. A search of the area led to the discovery of a burglary at a nearby home.
It was determined the males entered the house where a family was asleep inside through an open second floor window after removing a screen. The car was impounded where a search warrant will be served to recover and return the families stolen property. Newcastle sheriff detec-tives are working to see if others in the city.

Students at Dimmitt Middle School got a rare treat Friday as Gov. Jay Inslee and Seahawks Safety Earl Thomas III stopped by for a hands-on computer demonstration of coding.
The “Hour of Code” event was organized by Seattle-based company Code.org. The governor and Seahawks player talked about the impor-tance of computer science skills - like programming, or coding - that are needed in a variety of professions. Inslee’s office estimates that for every computer science degree graduate from Washington’s univer-sities, there are 27 open jobs available.
“This is about building confidence,” Inslee said. “We give these kids a little bit of confidence so they’re not intimidated to go into computer science. They come out with a computer science degree from Wash-ington State University or University of Washington;
they’ll work for Boeing or Microsoft and have a tremendous career.”
Inslee and Thomas crowded around a couple of computers in Dim-mitt’s computer lab, while students instructed them through the “Hour of Code” program. The room was abuzz with excite-ment as students and staff whipped out cell phones and cameras for photos.
“I’m super excited; I’m stoked,” said student Ne-vaeh Montgomery about having the two celebrities
in the classroom. “I’ve been excited all week; I’m really happy.”
She likes coding too, she
said, because she likes “fig-uring out how things work and controlling stuff.”
Thomas was amazed by
the students’ demonstra-tion and how advanced they are, he said.
“I have a young daugh-ter coming up and I want her to get all these benefits and see all these opportu-nities that I didn’t have,” Thomas said.
He attended the event on behalf of his organiza-tion The Earl Thomas III Guardian Angel Founda-tion, which will also be sponsoring a series of “Coding is Cool” summer camps this year.
It’s going to take time, computers and resources to provide students with the opportunities they need to advance in these fields, Inslee said.
“So we’re going to try in this legislative session in responding to the court’s McCleary decision, which is calling for billions of dollars invested in schools. It’s very flexible, so it can be used for this type of thing,” he said.
Renton Schools Super-intendent Merri Rieger called the special visit to Dimmitt “outstanding.”
It was a positive experi-ence for the students to see two high-profile people becoming active learners as they watched the other students demonstrate cod-ing, she said.

A cougar headed down the side of Kennydale Hill toward Lake Washington on Monday put people on alert, but it wasn’t reported sighted again as of mid-week.
The cougar was spotted by a Renton Police officer late Monday morning in the 2100 block of Lake Washington Boulevard, not far from Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park.
The cougar didn’t appear to be aggressive and ran back up into the woods, according to Commander David Leib-man, a spokesman for the Renton Police Department.
The management of a nearby apartment complex was notified.
A Renton animal-control officer searched for the big cat without success. The state Department of Fish and Wildlife was notified and an investigation was continuing during the week.
Such cougar sightings occur in Renton every couple years or so, according to Leibman. The Kennydale area also has hosted roaming black bears over the years.

Cougar spotted in Kennydale area
The cougar, shown here in a Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife photo, has a wide range across the state.
BY BRIAN BECKLEY
With candidate filing week officially opening on Monday, City Coun-cilmember Marcie Palmer has announced her plans to run for a fourth term.
Palmer, 57, said she is proud of her time on the council and is looking forward to the opportunity to complete some of the projects she has started if
re-elect-ed.
“Rent-on has changed a lot in the 12 years I’ve been here,” she said. “And
I think in the most part it’s changed for the better.”
Palmer said she and her husband have lived in Renton for 32 years, 30 of them in Kennydale. The couple have two children, one at college and the other a junior in high school.
Though her background is in public relations and
marketing, Palmer said after she had children she became a “stay-at-home- mom who never stayed home.”
Palmer currently serves as the chair of the council’s Transportation/Aviation Committee, a position she has held for 10 years, as well as vice-chair of the Community Ser-vices Committee and as a member of the Planning
and Development Com-mittee. She is also a former council president and previously served as chair of the Community Services Committee.
Palmer said she is espe-cially proud of her work with the Renton Municipal Airport, which was one of the issues that prompted her to first run for the council.
She also cited her work on the regional transporta-tion boards and her early and vocal support for the F Line Rapid Transit bus, in particular, working to get it extended from the Transit Center downtown to The Landing so it could get workers closer to the Boeing plant, as well as the businesses in that section of town.
Palmer said she would like to be re-elected to continue working on the city’s Comprehensive Plan update, as well as the potential transition to a
Regional Fire Authority, expected to go to voters in the next year or so.
On the Comprehensive Plan, she said while it was important to allow for con-tinued growth, it was also important to respect the wishes of current residents and business as far as their neighborhoods and how they will look in the future, which she said she can help bring to the table.
Palmer is also a member of the committee working on the RFA and said the decision on how to provide fire service is an important one she is happy will go to the voters.
Palmer’s is one of five council seats up for election this year. Ruth Perez, Don Persson and Ed Prince have all declared their intentions to run for re-election. Greg Taylor’s plans are unknown.
Candidate filing period is May 11-15.
Marcie Palmer
Palmer to run for fourth term on councilFirst council challenger emerges
There will be at least one contested City Council race this year as a chal-lenger has emerged to take on Marcie Palmer for her seat in this fall’s elections.
Carol Ann Witschi, who was one of 13 candidates to be interviewed by the city in December to fill an open council seat, has officially announced her campaign. Witschi said she plans to file to run for Position 3, currently held by Palmer.
Though she said she has nothing against Palmer or her work on the council but had to pick a seat. But she did say that after Palmer’s 12 years on the council, she thought she could bring a new perspective to the position.
Witschi, 47, is originally from New York and has lived in the Renton High-lands for about five years. She is married and has two young children.
Though she said the Highlands is an underrepresented region of the city, she said her interest was in the “entire city.”
Witschi said she works as a human resources consultant to help small busi-
nesses stay complaint with the law. She has also been involved in several local organizations, from her homeowners as-sociation to the board at the Next Curve, a philanthropic organi-zation aimed at getting younger professionals to donate time and money.
With a background in economics and busi-ness, Witschi said she was particularly interested in downtown revitalization, including residential expansion, as well as business. Witschi said it was important to keep people downtown in evenings and weekends, both as a boost for the businesses and because it discourages crime.
Witschi also stressed a need for “resp-sonsible” economic growth that allows the city to build and develop, but makes sure to protect the infrastructure and environment that support it.
Witschi said she considers herself a “natural-born problem solver” and promised to keep the “greater good” in mind if elected.

Treat MOMfor Mother’s Day!
When I was young, I often played with my mother’s
Dutch Girl and Boy quilting squares. Interestingly, she didn’t make quilts, so I didn’t know where they came from.
After she passed, I ended up with these quilting squares and they sat in a drawer ignored until last year. Although my mother didn’t sew, her sister LaVaughn was known for her
creative sewing and beautiful quilts so I decided to send these squares to her daughter, my cousin Betty.
Although there weren’t enough of them for a quilt, she decided to have
someone make a wall hanging. She asked me if I knew their origin so it could be written on the back.
I questioned my sister who told me it was our mother’s mother, Luella Benge Clary who made these back in the 1920s. She used flour sacks cut into squares and then sewed on the colorfully dressed boys and girls in bonnets with various scraps of fabric.
Her six daughters helped her, al-though my mother, who hated to sew, did very little. Her sister, LaVaughn loved helping, so it is perfect that Betty has these now.
I started thinking about quilting as an art form and decided to visit the sewing store here in Renton.
The business has been on Main Street since 1942. They are a sewing machine dealership and repair place that brings customers from far away. They also have sewing and quilting classes. The colorful machines looked so modern compared to the ones I remembered.
I have hated sewing since I kept fighting those bobbins on the old black machines and suffering the wrath of my strict eighth-grade sew-ing teacher!
I talked to Cevin Waffle who owns the business with his wife, Shelly. He
told me, “Today, quilters have the freedom to create anything they can imagine. The old rules are gone, so there are no limits to the creative pro-cess. Also, the technological advance-ments in the machinery with new software has expanded the opportuni-ties for an amazing range of artistry.
“Modern sewing machines cannot only produce high-quality stitching, but they have features that provide the versatility and options for embroidery and three-dimensional designs,” he continued. “It’s only limited by the quilter’s imagination.”
Cevin started working there in the early seventies when he was in Renton High School. His wife Shelly was also employed by the company when she got out of school. They purchased the company in 1998 and have watched the industry grow and change since.
“Quilting has grown as an art field in the last 20 years,” he said. “Differ-ent quilting guilds are experimenting with unique ways to make the blocks, and there are lots of fresh ideas about fabrics and designs.”
I then met Sharon Clark who teaches quilting and told me, “Quilt-ing to me is an expression of both beauty and intelligence.”
I told them about passing on my grandmother’s quilt squares after almost a hundred years. And although the creativity of fabric art skipped two generations in my case, my daughter creates lovely works of art through her crocheting and knitting.
And now, I too have a new appre-ciation for the art of quilt making, which includes a blend of tradition with modern technology.
I talked to my older sister again, and she said, “I think it’s sad, that all that work that they used to do by hand, is now done by machines.”
But I disagree and explained that I believe the creative part of quilting is still there — and growing even more because of the machines that can do the tedious work.
In fact, in spite of my experiences in eighth grade, maybe even I will sign up for one of those quilting classes!
The art of quilting is alive and wellTh

Get thee to a nursery this second week of May be-cause you now have the green light to fill window boxes, plant up porch pots and turn your patio into a blooming wonderland of color.
Combining colors in a container garden is a lot like painting a picture and many of our most famous artists have been gardeners as well. I’ll be speaking this week in Sumner about Art and Artists in the garden (check my website at www.binettigarden.com for details) but
these three types of petunias will help you paint your own summer color with success:
Superbells Calibrachoa hy-brids – more compact for small spaces
These bright bloomers look like mini petunias only they are much better behaved. In our climate the Superbells resist rain
and wind damage and fill up a container with compact and tidy blooms in enticing bicolor combinations. Mix the Superbells with spiky plants and trailing plants or pot up a bunch together for a massive display. If you have a small space these make a big impression.
Coralberry Punch Calibrachoa A bi-color that blooms orange with a dark eye and
looks great in a terra cotta pot or next to a brick wall or walkway. You don’t need to remove the spent blossoms – just feed and water for repeating blooms. Plant with orange and lime green coleus and purple Sweet potato vine for a trio with a tropical punch.
Supertunia Petunia Hybrids – mid size blooms and medium size plants
Bicolor blooms make the Supertunia hybrids perfect for combining with foliage plants or using as specimens. The show stopper that started the sensation was a purple and lime green petunia called “Pretty Much Picasso” and this year you can find the Supertunia “Picasso in Pink” with the same lime green edging around the petals but with a bright pink center.
The vivid colors mean you can turn up the color volume by adding these around an evergreen shrub or

Effects of climate change and the ongoing loss of salmon habitat came home to roost at this year’s tribal and state salmon fishing season setting process. The result was some of the most restrictive salmon fisheries ever seen in some areas.
A record low snowpack, low stream flows and increasing water temperatures, combined with the results of ongoing habitat loss and declin-ing marine survival, forced the co-managers to sharply cut harvest this year to protect both hatchery and naturally spawning chinook stocks.
The co-managers set seasons based on the need to conserve the weakest salmon stocks. The goal is to protect the weakest stocks while also providing limited harvest on healthy stocks which are mostly hatchery fish.
Last year’s salmon runs throughout Puget Sound returned far below expec-tations. Those fish that returned faced low stream flows that led to water temperatures soaring to 75 degrees or more in some places. Water temperatures
70 degrees or higher can be lethal to salmon. Last year many adult salmon – both hatchery and wild – died before they could spawn or reach a hatchery.
This year’s returns of hatchery and wild salmon are expected to be about 30 percent lower across the board than last year’s poor returns. Lake Washington chinook provide a good example of why this year’s fishing seasons needed to be more restrictive.
Hatchery and wild salmon returning to Lake Washington must pass through the most urban-ized parts of Western Washington where they are confronted by polluted stormwater runoff, barriers and low stream flows. When combined with the effects of elevated stream temperatures,
the results can be deadly for salmon. The Muckleshoot Tribe, which tracks salmon
migration into the lake through the Ballard Locks, quickly realized the extent of last year’s low returns and took action to protect the remaining fish. The tribe sharply reduced or eliminated planned harvests, including cultur-ally important ceremonial and subsistence fisheries. But by then most of the damage had already been done. Despite tribal sacrifices, Lake Washington wild chinook populations were further diminished and hatchery egg-take goals were unmet.
Given last year’s poor returns and the in-creased effects of climate change and habitat loss, the tribes were stunned when the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife – apparently at the prodding of sport fishermen – proposed even higher chinook sport harvest this year. Their proposal included a mid-Puget Sound fish-ery targeting chinook in an area where the weak Lake Washington run congregates. But the tribes rejected the proposed harvest increases and the fisheries were withdrawn, leading to howls of protest from some anglers.
The package of fisheries developed by the co-managers for 2015 reflects the reality of lower abundance and reduced fishing opportunity for everyone. Good salmon management requires us to balance the needs of the resource against the desire by some to catch more fish every year. That is why we must have strong leadership to make the tough decisions needed to protect the resource.
The treaty tribes believe that salmon must be managed in the best interest of those who will follow seven generations from now. We will not allow tomorrow’s salmon to be sacrificed for today’s harvest.

It took 207 days of campaigning through two elections in 2012 for Troy Xavier Kelley to secure the job as Washington’s state audi-tor.
It required only a few minutes Monday to erase nearly every scratch of evidence he is still in office.
At 1 p.m. that day, the Tacoma Democrat began an unpaid leave to fight the batch of federal criminal charges on which he was indicted last month.
Moments later, Kelley’s government email account was disabled and his mug shot and biography disappeared from the agency web-site. His name no longer adorns the twice-a-week emails distributing the latest crop of local government audits.
As his digital footprints got deleted, Kel-ley’s least-visible employee was scrubbed away, too, with the firing of a part-time staffer living out of state who is a personal friend, political supporter and professional confidante of Kelley’s.
Jan Jutte, the respected veteran bureau-crat entrusted with the keys and codes to the operation in Kelley’s absence, ordered
the expunging that has effectively erased her boss from the political landscape.
She so thoroughly purged his presence that it’s made him seem like the answer to a “Jeop-ardy!” answer: “He is the
only indicted elected official in Washington to ever abandon but not resign a post.”
Even though he’s gone, Kelley might still get a raise and retain his spot in the line of succession for governor.
The Washington Citizens Commission on Salaries for Elected Officials wants to give the state auditor a 4 percent pay hike over the next two years.
At least commissioners did in January, when they approved a recommendation to boost Kelley’s annual salary from $116,950 to $121,628 on Sept. 1 and to $124,061 the following September.
They acted before Kelley’s indictment on federal charges, which include tax evasion and lying to investigators, and before his denial of wrongdoing and departure on an indefinite leave of absence.
Commissioners will have those facts in front of them when they sit down to take final action on the pay hike May 13 in Olym-pia.
Meanwhile, Kelley’s status as the legally elected state auditor might preserve his spot as the fourth in line to serve as governor.
Article 1, Section 10 of the state Constitu-tion lays out who’s in charge if Gov. Jay Inslee is unable to do the job. Lt. Gov. Brad Owen is first up. If he can’t do it, the reins go to Secre-tary of State Kim Wyman, then Treasurer Jim McIntire and then the auditor Kelley.
There’s never been a serious enough disruption of leadership to put the auditor in

charge. It wasn’t clear this week what would happen if it did occur with Kelley in office but on leave. (It’s a question the attorney general hasn’t been formally asked to consider.)
Since everyone ahead of Kelley in the or-der of succession wants him to immediately resign, they will no doubt be sure to not be out of state all at the same time to avoid any
chance Kelley could be called to serve as governor — even for a few minutes.
As he learned this week, it doesn’t take long to liquidate a legacy.

Forty-nine Renton Christian School students will take to Renton Civic Theatre’s stage to put on J.M. Barrie’s “Peter Pan,” May 14 to 16.
It is the 20th production for the school’s drama director and musical program teacher, Laura McGinnis.
“I like doing the classic tale of “Peter Pan,” but we try to add a lot of quirkiness and quirky characters and make it fun and funny for the audience,” she said.
McGinnis chooses musicals based on the talent she sees in her class. Everyone in the class is guaranteed a part, but students do get the audition experience preparing a song
and monologue for the role they want.For this “Peter Pan” the cast of main characters includes seventh-grader Regan Joy Ben-
nett as Peter, eighth-grader Jaydon Beleford as Hook and seventh-grader Maddie Welch as Wendy.
For Bennett the role is a dream fulfilled as she’s always wanted to be a main character.“I’ve been doing drama with Mrs. McGinnis for, geez, as long as I can remember,” she
said. “I’ve always wanted to be a main; that’s been my dream.”Beleford likes playing a villain in Capt. Hook because those types of characters have
more depth than other roles, he said. “In my opinion, they’re the best parts in most of the plays I’ve seen, musicals or movies,”
he said.Beleford wants to pursue acting as a career, go to The Juilliard School and dreams of
making it on Broadway.Seventh-grader Welch also has dreams of acting in the future and her rendition of
Wendy is a new, fun challenge for her.“I think it’s just a really fun character for me because the last few plays I’ve been playing
somebody pretty quirky,” she said. “So I like that I get to be kind of like a mother and still a child at the same time.”
McGinnis calls Renton Christian School’s musical theater program a safer introduc-tion to drama than most schools because all the students get to play a role and the school encourages participation in the arts.
Tickets are $10 at Renton Civic Theatre, 507 S. Third St., Renton. For more information, visit rentoncivictheatre.org.

The following was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.
BY DEAN A. RADFORD
A Walmart worker waiting to start her shift at about 5 a.m. April 7 rolled down her car window just two inches – far enough for a man to stick a gun through the win-dow.
The man had asked for a lighter, but she doesn’t smoke. Then he asked her to call his mother to come pick him up. As she looked down to make the call, the man shoved the gun at her and ordered her to unlock the door.
He pulled the 50-year-old Lakewood woman from the car and got into the driver’s seat. Another man with him jumped into the passenger seat and they drove off in her 2014 Buick Verano.
She wasn’t injured and was picked up by her husband. The entire inci-dent was captured by a Walmart security camera.
The car is equipped with OnStar, which allowed police to track it to an apartment complex in the 7000 block of South 133rd Street. There was blood on the gear shift and seat.
A short time earlier, the sheriff ’s deputies had recovered another carjacked vehicle at the same complex and were responding to help Renton officers. Three suspects fled when they saw police arrive.
It’s likely the two carjackings were related to each other and to an assault at about 4:40 a.m. in which a man walking along Southwest Sunset Boulevard was robbed at gunpoint, then struck in the head with the gun.
ROBBED AT GUNPOINT: A 26-year-old man who had just moved to Renton was robbed at gunpoint April 13 of his 2014 Ford Fusion.
The victim arrived home at about 11:30
p.m. at his apartment on Terrace Avenue Southeast with movies he had just rented.
Two men approached him, looking for another apartment complex. He offered to check on his iPhone, since he was new to the area. One of the suspects pulled a hand-gun and pointed it at the victim’s face.
The suspect took his car keys from his pants and left in the victim’s car with another man. Officers searched unsuccess-fully for the stolen car.
SHOT IN THIGH: A Renton man, who went for a walk on East Valley Road early on April 15 after arguing with his girl-friend, was shot in the thigh by an un-known assailant.
Police officer investigating reports of gunfire at about 3:30 a.m. had stopped to ask the man whether he had heard gunshots. He had, and he seemed nervous talking with officers.
An officer talking with the 33-year-old victim noticed a hole in the man’s upper jeans and blood coming through the fabric.
The victim told officers he struggled with the assailant to avoid a mugging at gunpoint and managed to take the gun. Officers couldn’t find any signs of a struggle where the spent shells were found.
Officers found the gun in the victim’s backpack; there were two live rounds in the magazine.
The handgun was reported stolen in Kent. The wounded man was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for treatment of injuries to his thigh and groin area.
CHILD FOUND SAFE: A 2-year-boy, the subject of an Amber alert in Des Moines April 15 and apparently the victim of a kidnapping, was found in Renton.
A Renton couple had been asked to babysit the child by a relative, who is the girlfriend of the boy’s father. She left only a baby bottle and no diapers.
The next morning, becoming concerned with not being able to reach the relative, the Renton couple checked Facebook and the news and realized the child was the subject of an Amber alert. They called 911 and Des Moines detectives picked up the child.
The apparent kidnapping started when the child’s mother was subdued with a stun gun and tied with zip ties. The child, along with the mother, were taken to a home in Fife by the father, the girlfriend and the child’s grandmother.
The child was then taken to Renton; the
mother escaped and called relatives for help.
Des Moines detectives are doing the primary investigation and the three people who took the child were apprehended, ac-cording to Renton Police, who assisted the Des Moines department.
SHOPLIFTER TAKES SAWS: A known shoplift suspect on April 10 stole two saws worth $378 from Lowe’s home improve-ment store on Garden Avenue.
The 44-year-old Seattle woman placed a Dewalt circular saw and a Skil worm saw into her cart and walked out the store and to her waiting minivan.
She’s the suspect in two previous Renton cases; the Federal Way Lowe’s provided her identity to the Renton store.
A citation for third-degree theft was sent to Renton prosecutors for review.
LIQUOR SHOPLIFTER STOPPED: Two Safeway security officers on April 7 held down a shoplift suspect in the liquor aisle until Renton Police officers arrived at the store on Northeast Sunset Boulevard.
The 18-year-old’s accomplice managed to escape – with the liquor in a backpack.
The suspect took a swing at one of the security officers, who placed the man in a headlock. Another security officer joined the original one on top of the suspect to hold him down until Renton officers ar-rived.
After the suspect’s arrest officers found 1.84 grams of cocaine in his sweatpants.
He was booked for investigation of second-degree theft and possession of a controlled substance. His state Depart-ment of Corrections probation officer was notified.
VAPORIZER STOLEN: A man walking along Southeast Petrovitsky Road at about 5 a.m. April 15 was robbed at gunpoint of his wallet and his vapor smoking device.
The 22-year-old Renton man was walk-ing with a Kent woman when they were approached by a tall slender man in his 20s near a bus stop. He racked the slide on his handgun and demanded the man’s wallet and vaporizer.
The suspect then fled eastbound on Petrovitsky and down a flight of stairs at a nearby apartment complex.
A K9 unit searched unsuccessfully for the suspect.

the tests by grade level to ensure we are allowing ample time for all students to test, including those who need special testing accom-modations,” Matheson said.
There has been criticism that the tests don’t take into account the number of students who don’t have computers at home. To that, Matheson said students use computers in schools every day and have been practic-ing their computer typing skills recently, including
accessing the practice tests and assessment blocks.
The Smarter Balanced Assessments have also been criticized because they are entirely in English and English Language Learners, or ELL students, are also expected to take them.
Test directions and glos-saries have been provided in 17 different languages to support students who speak another language. Washington state uses 11 of these glossaries in Spanish,
Vietnamese, Arabic, Taga-log, Ilokano, Cantonese, Mandarin, Korean, Punjabi, Russian, and Ukrainian.
Critics have argued that the glossaries don’t accom-modate all students from different backgrounds not reflected in the language glossaries.
The accommodations are a part of the state’s Desig-nated Supports for the tests. Any student who uses the translated glossary can also click on the word to hear it identified in their language, according to Matheson.

cascading from a mixed basket. Supertunias are super easy to grow in sun or semi shade.
Wave Petunias – oceans of color from ground cover petunias that will swamp the garden with a sea of blooms.
If you have a large space to fill, look for the Wave petunias that will spread out to three feet wide and one foot tall. The Wave pe-
tunias come in solid shades of white, pink and purple and you can mix and match to make stripes or drifts of color.
Like all petunias the Wave petunias do best in full sun in soil that drains well but can be kept moist during the dry months of August and September. You don’t need to deadhead or prune back these spreading petunias but you do need to give them room to grow.
Tips for growing pe-
tunias: These are annual plants which mean they live for just one summer but will bloom until the first hard frost, usually until October.
Petunias are heat lovers and love full sun but will adapt to half day of sun with less blooms.
Like most annuals petu-nias need plenty of fertilizer to keep pumping out the flowers and the soil should be kept just barely moist. Work some slow release plant food into the soil at planting time and then feed every two to three weeks with a liquid plant food as well.
If your petunias grow too long and leggy you can cut them back to just a few pair of leaves and fertilize with a liquid plant food. In a couple of weeks they’ll be covered with more blooms on a more compact plant. In general, the bigger the bloom the larger the plant and the more space the petunia will need.
The double flowering petunia varieties look great in the greenhouse but they do not hold up well in rainy weather.

Wilma Scott, riding on her new electric wheelchair, helped the Renton CROP Hunger Walk reach its $32,000 goal for the annual walk.
The 90-year-old Renton resident is a veteran of all 32 of Renton’s CROP walks that have raised about $606,000 to help fight hunger locally and worldwide.
Scott, who walked with her daughter-in-law Amelia Clark, wasn’t the only participant sporting wheels. There were strollers and wagons – the youngest walker was 3 years old.
In all about 250 people walked along the Cedar River Trail Sunday, starting at Liberty Park, on a beautiful sunny day. Dogs wore CROP ribbons, and the canines were some of the big-gest fundraisers, according to Sharon Kenyon, CROP Walk organizer.
“Our six-mile walk along the Cedar River is very meaningful, because many in the world have to walk six miles a day just to get water,” said Kenyon.
Twenty-five percent of the proceeds
go to help fight hunger locally at the Salvation Army Renton Rotary Food Bank, the Margie Williams Helping Hands, the Center of Hope day center at Renton City Hall, ARISE (Area of Renton Interfaith Shelter Endeavor) and the St. Vincent de Paul Food
Bank.The other 75 percent helps fight
hunger globally.Last year for the sixth time, Renton
was in the top 100 walks nationwide – out of more than 2,000 communities that participate.

When Hazen High School senior Denisha Shrestha heard her aunt yelling on the phone to her grandfather about an earth-quake in Nepal last month, she didn’t think much about it because the area is
prone to quakes, she said. Shrestha is originally from Kathmandu and called magintude-5.9 quakes normal. But then an app on her cell phone started notifying her repeatedly about earthquakes in Nepal and the panic set in.
“It started blowing up,” Shrestha said of her cell phone, which started alerting her of the growing magnitude from 6.8 to 7.9 and up. “So, I got scared.”
After learning that the 8.1 magnitude earthquake took more than 6,300 people’s lives and left mil-lions without food, shelter or medicine, Shrestha felt helpless.
Then she decided to act. She contacted a teacher at
Hazen and now intends to raise at least $1,000 to give to the Nepal Seattle Society for the relief effort. She’s organizing the fundraising through Hazen’s Key Club and with the help of teacher
Brad Zylstra. “Even though we are not
physically there, we can at least send something to people over there and help them go through it,” she said.
Shrestha has grand-parents and relatives in Nepal who live close to the epicenter. After the quake, her family and many in the community moved to government-provided tents because they didn’t feel safe in their houses with continuing aftershocks. Her family members are safe now and just recently returned to their homes May 1.
“At first I really felt help-less,” Shrestha said. “I didn’t know what to do because my grandmom and grand-dad are the only people there. I really felt scared after some time when they told me how the situa-tion was and I saw all the pictures: the monuments
falling, the people dying.”Shrestha surveyed the
damage via Facebook posts she saw from family and friends.
Since getting the word out, she feels encouraged when people donate, she said.
Last weekend she par-ticipated in a walk with the Nepal Seattle Society from the Space Needle to Century Link Field to raise awareness. On Thursday, her classmates were to participate in a “Miracle Minute” at school, in which students collect as much money as they can in one minute.
If you’d like to support the effort, checks made pay-able to Hazen High School (write, “Nepal Earthquake Relief ” in the note) can be mailed, care of Sarah Viles, to 1101 Hoquiam Ave. N.E., Renton, WA 98059.
The deadline for dona-tions is May 21.

with garbage, as were other rooms and a lean-to in the back.
Other rooms were also filled with gar-bage and there is damage to the electrical and plumbing at the house, but structurally, Higashiyama said it was still in “very good shape.”
The house and two-acre parcel of land, located on Lincoln Avenue Northeast at the Renton/Newcastle city lines was officially transferred to the city in February, after a seven-year wait that included two years in court.
Kenyon, who died in 2008, donated the land to the city with a handful of condi-tions, including that it be called “Kenyon-Dobson Park,” the trees be left standing and the land be minimally developed. He also included a section allowing Karen Dobson, his partner of 25 years and the will’s execu-tor, to live on the property for five years.
After the five years had passed, the city began to work on taking ownership of the property, but Dobson refused to sign over the deed or vacate the land, saying it was her duty as executor to make sure the land was accepted according to what she said were Kenyon’s wishes, which included stricter standards, despite what the will states.
In 2014, the city began the process of trying to “quiet the title” on the land, mean-ing that a court would rule on which of multiple claims is legal.
This past September, the city’s motion to quiet title was granted. Dobson, who was served notice of the order in August of that year, made no response and filed no op-position to the motion.
In February, Dobson and the city were back in court, with the ruling again coming in the city’s favor. Eviction proceedings were started and Dobson was forced to leave by Feb. 13.
The case did not end there, however, as it appears that Dobson, who acted as her own attorney, filed a motion to reconsider or revise sometime after the 10-day period granted for such a response. City attorneys said they are still waiting for the outcome on that motion.
City staff have been working on the property in the interim, including hiring ServPro to come in and clean the home in two separate four-day sessions.
The land and house have also been ap-praised. The home was valued at nothing, while the land was valued at $600,000.
The city plans to use the land as a park and possible trail head that links to the larger May Creek Corridor, an area of land protected through agreements between the City of Renton, King County and the City of Newcastle. The idea is to maintain the wildlife corridor around the creek so the Kenyon-Dobson property will be kept in a forested state. Original plans for the house included an interpretive center for the May Creek corridor.
In order to stay within the terms of the will to not develop the land, the city has even purchased a small parcel of land located next to the property to be used as a parking lot.
Higashiyama said there is still work to be done on the house and the property. A community meeting is being planned for later this summer.

ON Highlanders baseball team secures share of
Seamount championship with win over TyeeBY BRIAN BECKLEY
The Hazen Highlander baseball team secured a share of the Seamount League title on Monday with a 5-1 win over Tyee in the team's regular season finale.
Jacob Howell had 2 RBI and Ben Hoeper picked up the win for the Highlanders with seven innings of 6-hit ball. Hoeper struck out 6 and walked just 1.
Hazen got on the board first, plating a run in the bottom of the third inning, but Tyee rallied to tie it in the top of the fourth, but the Highlanders answered with two more in the bottom of the in-ning.
In the sixth, Hazen plated two more insurance runs.Earlier in the week, Hazen pitcher Drew Santana struck out 15
Highline batters in a 3-0 victory over the Pirates.Santana threw 7 innings of 2-hit ball, striking out 15 batters and
walking just 2 in the victory.Hazen also bested Renton on May 1 by a score of 20-0.The Highlanders finish the regular season with a 14-4 overall
record and a 13-1 record in the Seamount. Kennedy Catholic also finishes the year with a 13-1 Seamount League record.
Because of a pre-season number draw, Kennedy will be the No. 1 seed, despite the teams' tied records.
Hazen will next play in the West Central District Playoffs on Saturday, May 9, in Kelso. The 2015 Seamount League co-champion Hazen Highlander Baseball team poses for a photo

BY BRIAN BECKLEY
After coming off a game in which they scored eight
times, the Hazen High-lander soccer team could not find the net Friday at Renton Memorial Stadium and ended up on the wrong
side of a 2-0 shutout against league-leading Kennedy Catholic.
But the team rebounded Tuesday with a 4-2 win over Tyee to end the regular season on a positive note.
Hazen will finish the year in second place in the Seamount League and has qualified for the postseason for the fifth consecutive year.
Kennedy scored early, putting one through in the fifth minute. The score stayed that way until the 53rd minute, when Ken-nedy picked up an insur-ance goal.
On Tuesday, Jorman Gonzalez led the way for the Highlanders, scoring two goals and getting an assist. Reyes Garcia also added a goal in the victory, as did Robbie Schroeder.
Coach Ken Matthews called Tuesday’s game “one
of the most entertaining games” of the season and said he was pleased with how his team responded coming off the loss.
“We could have easily fallen apart after the Ken-nedy game,” he said in an email. “But, really, I couldn’t have dreamed up a better
game than tonight’s to get us ready for the second season.”
Hazen will be the No. 2 seed from the Seamount and will begin with a play-in game against the No. 2 seed from the Greater St. Helens League on May 12 in Vancouver.
Hazen soccer will start playoffs as No. 2 seedGarcia named WIAA soccer Athlete of the Week
Hazen junior soccer player and team captain Reyes Garcia was named a Washington Interscholastic Athletic Association Athlete of the Week for the week ending April 24 after a monster week on the pitch.
On April 21, Garcia scored both Hazen goals in a 2-0 victory over Foster and then added three more goals and an assist Friday against Highline.
Garcia also had two goals in Tuesday’s win against Renton.
In recognition of their accomplishment, each Athlete of the Week winner receives a congratulatory letter from WIAA Executive Director Mike Colbrese, a com-memorative WIAA State Athlete of the Week t-shirt, and a certificate
Renton track teams winThe Renton boys and girls track teams
easily dispatched Foster and Highline April 30 at Renton Memorial Stadium.
Officially, the dual meet pitted Renton against Foster and Foster against Highline, so the Indians only picked up a single mark in the win column but the Indians easily ran away with the meet. The boys topped Foster 106-39 while the girls won 91-37.
The Indian boys and girls also beat High-line 117-23 and 88-46, respectively.
Renton runners won nearly every event on Thursday. In the girls meet, the Lady In-
dians took the top spot in every race except the 300-meter hurdles and the 4x200-meter relay.
The Renton boys won every event except the 4x100 meter relay.
On the “field” side, Renton boys athletes won every event except the high jump, javelin and discus while Renton girls had a tougher time in the non-running events, only winning the long jump and triple jump.

tion numbers 281 students. The event was intended for the younger set, with singing
and dance performances by the Haida Heritage Foundation group. Sondra Segundo, Tommy’s sister and also a Renton High grad, read from her book “Killer Whale Eyes.” Parents and students also participated in the dancing.
Parent Diane Moses attended last Thursday’s event with her kindergartener, second-grader and two 10th-graders. She and her family are of the Nez Perce Tribe in Spokane.
“I like the program,” Moses said. “Coming here and be-ing able to have a place where these guys go and somebody to turn to, you know, that they can identify with, is really important. And that’s what this program does.”
This was the first of many cultural nights planned by Segundo, who is taking over the reigns from Earline Bala, who was the program liaison for 38 years. Bala was a men-tor to Segundo and coming back to Renton to work with Native students has been a career goal for him.
“She really helped me kind of learn things about myself that were culturally relevant,” Segundo said.
Bala took and interested in him and introduced him to the idea of attending college. Segundo took her advice,
eventually attended the University of Washington, pursued jobs in Indian affairs advocacy and recruiting for the university, before he returned to Renton High. Now he wants to help support and mentor Native students in the district the same way he was helped. Native American students face unique identity issues, Segundo said, that the program seeks to ad-dress to ultimately build self-confi-dence and increase graduation rates.
“They (students) don’t necessarily feel that they’re Native enough to represent it, or they don’t feel that they can represent it because they
don’t know their culture, or whatnot,” Segundo said. “So, I just want them to know that it is OK and it’s not their fault that they don’t know their culture.”
A lot of students may not be full Native Americans and not know about their culture, he said. Or, there are Native American students who do come from Native parents, but they don’t know their tribe’s language because of the legacy of boarding schools. The schools in the 1880s through the 1920s sought to assimilate Native Americans into the majority culture by replacing their traditional ways.
The movement left long term historical trauma that is still seen today, Segundo said. For example, he doesn’t know his Haida language because his grandparents were put in boarding schools.
“When you’re connected to your culture, it really does a lot of things for you,” he said. “You have a sense of pride; you have a sense of confidence in yourself. That’s again why I feel it’s important to keep that alive.”
His next cultural event will be a drum-making class for high school students. According to his predecessor Bala, families learn best through culture.
“I think the greatest thing about this program is to be able to see kids when they start very very young and they stay with the program and you get to hand them that diploma and say, ‘We are so proud of you to continue,’” said Bala.
