5-year-olds put on wrong bus; district works on new system BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
King Parker has two offices, this one on the seventh floor of City Hall, not far from the City Council chambers where he has served for 12 years. It’s not unusual to talk with constituents at his other office, the one at King and Bunny’s. The view is a constant reminder of the city he serves. DEAN A. RADFORD, Renton Reporter
King hangs up political crown BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
Where Renton stands today is in large part the work of King Parker, whose marketing skills are legendary and love for Renton unquestioned. Now, he carefully explains the next stage in his life of service to his community. “I am hanging up my political shoes,” he says. But make no mistake he’s not retiring from King and Bunny’s, the appliance store in the Highlands where he will
now have more time to spend. “I am looking forward to coming back and working full time right here at King and Bunny’s,” he says. “You can say that loud and clear.” Health played no role in his decision to retire from the council, he said. “I am certain that has always been a topic of conversation,” he said. He works seven days a week, morning to night. “I do that because I enjoy it. It’s not because I have to,” he said. Parker announced before filing began for the 2011 primary election that he would not seek a fourth term on the Renton City Council. That created a rare open seat on the council – and a chance for new candidates to make their political case for election. That’s exactly what Parker wants to happen. “I think I have had a real impact on the

King Parker, three-term City Council member, to spend more time at his store and work on favorite endeavors.
The Renton School District is developing a system-wide plan to make sure students get on the right school bus after the school day. The effort comes after two Benson Hill Elementary kindergarteners were put on the wrong bus and dropped off about a mile and a half from their intended stop on Friday afternoon, Sept. 16. “This was a failure on the part of the adults in the process both at the school and on the bus,” said Randy Matheson, Renton School District spokesperson. The students, a 5-year-old boy and girl, were put on the wrong school bus by Benson Hill staff and then let off the bus about a mile and a half from the daycare they attend, Matheson said. Spring Glen Daycare staff alerted the school when the children did not get off the bus. The school then called the transportation office, classmates of the students and alerted the police. After a day-care worker had left her shift, she spotted the children walking on the street and returned them to the daycare. The bus driver in the incident was a substitute, who drove for the district some last year. “It’s not an excuse that this person was a substitute,” said Matheson, who blamed all the adults involved and stated the bus driver would likely not be called for another assignment with the district. In response to the incident, the Benson Hill Elementary principal created a colorcoded system by Saturday afternoon for getting students on the right bus, Matheson said. Right now the district doesn’t have a system-wide plan to make sure children are placed on the right school bus, but officials hope to present a system-wide plan to bus drivers soon, he said. Superintendent Mary Alice Heuschel called the parents of the children Tuesday to assure them that they would put a plan in place.

Renton will resort to tried and true, old-school methods of communication to disseminate vital community resource information in times of a disaster. City of Renton officials, school district staff and Emergency Management members unveiled a new program as part of September’s National Preparedness Month to inform the public of disaster resources by using bulletin boards at local schools. At the unveiling Monday at Cascade Elementary School, Mayor Denis Law remarked it was odd to unveil a bulletin board. But, he said, “The reality is if we had a major event, every one of our communications systems could be down.” Law pointed to the 2006 windstorm that knocked out power around the area and made communication difficult as an example of just the type of situation this program seeks to overcome. Called “Ready in Renton,” the program introduces neighborhood centers that have been established at area schools with the help of the Renton School District. When disaster conditions arise and normal communications are disrupted, information concerning shelter locations, food and water distribution points or evacuation routes will be posted at the centers by trained volunteers. During normal conditions, the bulletin boards will still contain important information pertinent to the corresponding school and community to get parents in the habit of referring to the boards, said school Superintendent Mary Alice Heuschel. There are 17 established neighborhood centers at public schools in the city limits. Residents are encouraged to look for information at the main entrance of the schools. More than 40 volunteers have been trained to get the information to the centers in times of crisis. The program also uses multiple languages to get the message out. “So in an emergency we aren’t trying to translate to many, many different languages, which increases the chance of errors,” said Deborah Needham, Emergency Management director. “So we pre-printed the poster to say, ‘Your nearest shelter is, or your nearest food distribution point is,’ in that language.” All the volunteers have to do is write in the correct address for those resources. “If we can’t get messages out through CodeRED or we can’t get messages out on television and radio because people can’t access their television, radio or internet, then we can turn to this method as a back up for all those other systems,” Needham said. CodeRED is an emergency notification system that calls telephones during some emergencies. Also new this year, the city’s Emergency Management Division will be using its Facebook and Twitter accounts.

BY DEAN A. RADFORD
dradford@rentonreporter.com
Gov. Chris Gregoire pumped up the state’s aerospace industry last week, promising to tailor worker training to its needs and asking for its help to maintain Washington as the “center of aerospace� in the world. There are plenty of aerospace companies, states and even whole countries that would like to strip Washington of that title, she said. One prize for which the state is competing is the location of a new plant to build the 737 MAX, a variant of the world’s best-selling airplane that’s built in Renton. Boeing is expected to make that decision in about six months. The Renton plant is in the running, but as Gregoire said, “We take nothing for granted.� Boeing got the contract to build new refueling planes for the U.S. Air Force in part because of a strong community partnership that lobbied for a Washington-built plane, she said. A new 737 variant will feature a highly fuel-efficient engine that requires some redesign of the airplane. The effort to keep the 737 plant
in Washington – Project Pegasus – is already under way. It will include a “candid assessment� of the strengths and weaknesses of the state’s aerospace industry. “Where are we competitive? Where are we not?� are the questions the assessment will answer, Gregoire said. One of the top priorities is workforce training, she said. “That workforce is so important to the aerospace industry,� she said. Gregoire gave the keynote address to the Sixth Annual Governor’s Aerospace Summit, presented by the Aerospace Futures Alliance of Washington at ShoWare Center in Kent. The Boeing Co. was named “Aerospace Company of the Year� at the summit. Gregoire’s speech came just hours after the release of the latest state revenue forecast, which shows a $1.4 billion revenue shortfall. Gregoire said it wasn’t the best day of her life. “It ain’t going to be easy, but we will get through this,� she said. Gregoire was a little late for her speech at the summit, attended by owners, employees and other representatives of some of the
force,� she said. The state is already coordinating between the aerospace industry and the state’s colleges and universities to ensure that the skills being taught are the ones the companies need in their workers, she said. She also pointed out that about 30 percent of the machinists in the state, about 7,500 workers, are eligible to retire. “We need to be on the top of our game to fill those jobs,� she said. Gregoire also spoke about some of the legislative accomplishments that have helped Washington’s business community. Last year, the Legislature approved the first-ever reform of the state’s unemployment compensation system, a priority for The Boeing Co. That reform saved businesses about $300 million, she said. In the upcoming legislative session, Gregoire will propose a simplification of the state’s business and occupation tax, which will help businesses who operate in a number of government jurisdictions. Cities have already expressed concern about the idea, she said, because local governments also rely on the B and O tax for revenue.
Gov. Chris Gregoire addresses the Sixth Annual Governor’s Aerospace Summit last week. CHARLES CORTES, Renton Reporter roughly 650 aerospace companies in the state. The City of Renton was a summit sponsor. Gregoire repeatedly returned to worker training as a key factor in keeping the state’s aerospace industry competitive. Washington is home to about 84,000 aerospace workers. “No one can compete with Washington state’s talented work-
Chamber endorses candidates in council, hospital races BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

In an unusual move, the Renton Chamber of Commerce has endorsed candidates in the three contested City Council races and the race for hospital commissioner.

An on-going feud between two Boeing workers turned physical on Aug. 24. The two men work at the 737 production plant on Logan Avenue. At about 1 p.m., they got into a physical altercation when one of the CRIME ALERT men walked by the other This week’s‌ one and hit him with his fist and elbow. The victim told police that five or six years ago, he had been falsely accused of turning in another employee for harassing union employees. The harassment involved the other employee threatening to kill the man, which the man reported to the union, but he said the union did nothing. The man then got a court order to keep the other man from harassing him at work. The order expired two years ago and according to the victim, the assailant has gone out of his way since then to make rude and
A Renton couple harassed a doctor at a local dermatology clinic on Aug. 19. The couple came to the clinic on Southwest 43rd Street, so that the wife could be seen for a skin condition. They both became upset during the examination finding fault with the doctor’s suggested treatment, which according to them involved steroids. The couple sent multiple faxes, an email and left a voicemail for the doctor, using profane language and threatening not to pay for services rendered. Police contacted the couple and they said they contacted the doctor multiple times to make sure their concerns were heard. Police trespassed them from the clinic for a year and referred them to the Police Department to make their own statement if they wished. Later that day, the same couple was trespassed from a bank on South Third Street for a year for being a nuisance and harassment by telephone of bank staff.
13-year-old shoots himself A 13-year-old accidentally shot himself in the leg while handling a pistol on Aug. 21. The boy was trying to put a scope on a Smith & Wesson Model 22S pistol when he told police he fingered the trigger and shot the firearm. He was transported to Valley Medical Center by a private vehicle. Police questioned the boy’s mother and her boyfriend about the incident. Both their stories and the boy’s matched, so officers determined the incident was an accident.

A 16-year-old Renton boy has pleaded guilty as an adult in the assault and robbery of a man at the Metro Transit Center in downtown Renton May 5. Solinuu Leae, 16, was charged with first-degree robbery and second-degree assault. King County Superior Court Judge Barbara Mack will sentence Leae Sept. 30 at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. The sentence range is 51 to 68 months in prison. Until he’s 18 years old, Leae would serve his time at a juvenile facility run by the Juvenile Rehabilitation Administration and not the state Department of Corrections, mostly likely the maximum-security Green Hill facility in Chehalis, said Ian Goodhew, a spokesman for the King County Prosecutor’s Office. At 18 he would be sent to a state prison, he said. Leae’s brother Troy Leae and Francisco Rondon, both 20, are charged with first-degree robbery for their alleged role in the May 5 attack on the 36-year-old man.
Corps to run Hanson dam at full capacity this winter A once-weakened Howard Hanson Dam should operate at full capacity this winter. So says a confident Col. Bruce Estok, commander of the Seattle District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Estok said the Corps can operate the dam to its full flood storage capacity as designed, now that important risk reduction measures are nearing completion. Seattle District engineers and scientists have concluded that the Corps can operate the dam this season to hold its design full pool – an elevation of 1,206 feet above sea level – with low risk to the dam. “All indications are that the new measures will perform as intended to full flood storage capacity,� Estok said on Friday. “However, until the dam experiences a flood above summer pool level (1,167 feet), there isn’t 100-percent certainty of how the new measures will perform.� The Corps will continue to monitor the dam to ensure effectiveness of the corrective measures, especially during high-flow events. Local officials welcomed the good news. “We are pleased that the Corps has been able to restore the original flood protection of the Howard Hanson Dam far ahead of the original time schedule,� said Sarah Miller, emer-

gency preparedness manager for the City of Auburn. “Obviously there is still, and always will be, flood risk in the Green River Valley. But with the dam functioning within its design parameters, we are much more comfortable going into the upcoming winter season.� Drainage improvement work is on schedule and is expected to be complete by the end of October, the Corps said. The Corps said it has already treated and tested drains through the area of highest concern, known as the short path seepage area. The reservoir at Howard Hanson Dam reached a summer elevation of 1,167 feet above sea level in June, allowing engineers, geologists and other scientists to run a battery of tests to gather more data on the right abutment drainage improvements that are completed and underway. The Corps constructed a seepage barrier (grout curtain) in November 2009 to reduce seepage and improved the drainage collection system of the right abutment by installing drains that more effectively direct seepage into the drainage tunnel. Last flood season, the Corps said it had confidence that it could safely store water to at least elevation 1,170 feet. Testing showed that the work was successful; however, the 2009 grout curtain is not considered a permanent repair.

t really is important to listen to those undertones because they can easily and intentionally be drowned out by political rhetoric designed to put together a winning majority – under false pretenses. Don’t get us wrong. We’re not naive. We know that we all bring to political judgment some political ideology. But what if you are looking for someone who will govern from the middle, who’s willing to listen to all sides, most assuredly compromise and then work to make sure the solution works? A politician in that apolitical world could take some lessons from King Parker. He is gracious, but there’s an edge to Parker’s political persona when it’s needed. But without a doubt, he cares about Renton – all of Renton. For 12 years his views have helped guide Renton through difficult financial times, heady times when the city was prospering and when tearful decisions had to be made. A good example of the last one is the downtown library. Parker did his homework, put his businessman’s pencil to paper, listened, and then concluded that the city couldn’t afford to maintain its library system. The conclusion left him in tears, but what was best for the entire city was how to give residents a vibrant library system. The answer was the King County Library System. As a city leader, Parker will be remembered as someone who used his marketing savvy to promote Renton, listened to the right people in deciding to preserve the Black River Riparian Forest and supported the city’s vibrant Neighborhood Program. There are others, but these are perfect examples of a politician who put others above self.
Navigating the world of online comments I managed to get myself into hot water with some of the folks who regularly comment on our website, Rentonreporter.com. It’s now obvious (at least to me) that trying to merge two cultures, one – print journalism – and the other – the internet – demands honoring the traditions of both. Last week I printed a sampling of the posts related to the downtown library issue. The general tone is a dismay that the city is losing its downtown library over the Cedar River. I edited one, RentonBen’s, for length. He made a supposition about downtown landowers, then followed it up with four “howevers.” Those “howevers” provide some good context that weren’t included. Ben is well-known for expressing his viewpoints online and in the public eye. So he understands how this all works. He was rightly angry (my word) that the “howevers” were edited out in print. He didn’t give me permission to edit his online comments. So here is Renton Ben’s entire post to a Renton Reporter editorial urging residents to speak out about the downtown library. It’s in response to another poster’s (StuartA) comment that someone must be making money off the move of the downtown library. Dean A. Radford

“Are you no longer concerned that the Howard Hanson Dam is going to partially fail and flood the Green River Valley?”
EDITOR’S NOTE
Question of the week:
his week we began our interviews for the contested City Council and Valley Medical commissioner races on the November ballot. We should focus year around on the job our elected leaders are doing. The difference is that now we can actually do something about them: we can fire them for failing to do the job or we can send them back for another term with our thanks. The challenge, of course, is to figure how to judge their job performance. By the very definition of the American experience, we do not pigeon-hole our politicians into one narrowly defined political belief. So, presumably, a candidate was elected in the first place because he or she found enough like-minded people to vote for them. The Editorial Board is meeting that challenge through our endorsement process and we hope our efforts will offer guidance to voters in the general election. Majority rules on the five-member editorial board, just as it does at the ballot box. The candidates we and you are interviewing are running for non-partisan positions, which supposedly frees them to govern without adhering to a constrictive political dogma. Still, if we listen carefully, we can hear the underlying political beliefs and world views that guide their decisions.
About the only way that I can see to make money on the library fiasco is to be a land owner next to the new (smaller) library. I’ve checked property tax records and followed the shell companies up to their owners - and I do see where people who stood to benefit from the new library have pushed for the KCLS annexation. However #1 - the people that stand to benefit are also “Renton boosters.” Their political involvement in this issue isn’t out of the ordinary. However #2, buying land and holding onto it through several Renton administrations and hoping for KCLS to buy something it’s a stupid
way to try to make money: An increase in property values will be quite tiny (I helped appraise property in a past life) and the site selection was entirely dependent on so many tenuous decisions that the outcome was by no means sure. However #3 I also know one of the pro-KCLS council members, and while he’s a stupid idiot on this issue, he is also scrupulously honest and would be the first to talk if he saw anybody behaving badly. I “know” another by reputation and he would be the same. However #4 The people who stand to make a little money are the same people that donate a lot of money and time to Renton - they’re not especially greedy people. My rough calculations indicate that they spend more money on Renton charities than they would ever recuperate in property values. So... yes... let’s investigate and make sure that nothing bad is going on, but for me , I won’t ascribe to malice things that can easily be ascribed to stupidity. PS: StuartA - you kick butt, and I’m looking forward to helping out when I have time! I didn’t edit Ben’s comments here. Nor do I edit comments that are posted online. But I will edit printed letters to the editor. That’s part of the difference in culture. Newspapers will edit letters for length, clarity and style, as explained in our our print policy below. If there are problems (grievous errors, libel, or at election time a letter that raises an issue too late to allow for a response), an editor, including myself, won’t run the letter or will ask the letter writer to make changes. We have a policy for managing online post, which basically asks that posters remain civil, don’t use foul language and stick to the topic. We don’t edit online posts. But we will remove a post if it violates our policy. But the main difference in the tradition is that in print we ask that those who express an opinion also must include their name. Online, anonymity, if that’s the poster’s preference, is the tradition.

‘It’s been my honor’ Kingsley ‘King’ Parker, on retiring from the Renton City Council
[ PARKER from page 1]
tential for a new generation of leaders to emerge. His council retirement allows one of those new leaders to gain important on-thejob experience to run the city. But more change is potentially on the horizon. Parker is not making predictions, but an open mayor’s seat in four years could draw candidates from the City Council and it’s possible other council members could retire. A new council member now would provide stability for the future, he said. Arguably, Parker has been a stabilizing force on Renton’s civic life for nearly two decades. His contributions have not just come from the City Council dais. His list of community involvement is long and represents leadership roles on committees and with organizations that have made a difference in the lives of people and businesses in Renton.
The prototype
Renton is a city known for its strong sense of community, with very generous people who give of their personal time and financial support to make our city a special place. Nobody fits this mold better than King Parker. Through his years of service on the city council and involvement on more boards and committees than I can count, King has played a major role in transforming our city into a community where people desire to live, learn, work and play. Mayor Denis Law
Selfless to core
Still involved He’s stepping back from much of that community work, too. Just not all. He’s remaining active in the Renton Rotary Club. He wants to remain on the advisory board for the Communities in Schools of Renton, which he describes as a “great organization.” A former president of the Renton Community Foundation, he says he’s “in touch” with the organization that has helped raise millions of dollars for charitable groups in Renton and supported them in other ways. He wants to become more involved in the Renton Chamber of Commerce. That’s good news to Bill Taylor’s ears. In his tribute to Parker, the CEO and president of the Renton Chamber of Commerce wrote he intends to tap Parker for his “brand of sage advice that I value so highly.” On a personal level, the former submarine sailor wants to get involved with an organization of submarine veterans. But politics is out. “I have absolutely zero political aspirations,” he said. He still yens for the political job that eluded him, the Mayor’s Office. “Quite frankly, I would still love to be mayor,” he said. But, he said, “we have a fine mayor” in Denis Law. Parker’s first foray into politics was in the early 1970s, when part of Renton’s East Hill and part of what is now Newcastle considered annexing. He ran for a three-member community council that would have veto power over land-use decisions, rather than the City Council. But the annexation went down in “glorious defeat,” as he put it. He was president of the Sierra Heights PTA when his children were young. He was up against Don Jacobson for an appointment to the Renton School Board in the mid1970s; Jacobson got the nod instead. Then in the 1990s Parker decided to run for the City Council. He was “shocked” to spend about $7,000 on the election. He ran against Gerry Marsh and Jim Brundage in the primary, beating Brundage in the 1995 general election. He calls both men “quality guys” and felt fortunate to win. Even then, a hot topic for the City of Renton was improving the city’s business climate and revitalizing downtown. Parker is a founding member of the Blue Ribbon Committee that was formed after it
TRIBUTES
King Parker has served three terms on the Renton City Council, sitting on every council committee as either its chair or as a member. He will retire from the council at year’s end. DEAN A. RADFORD, Renton Reporter become apparent Renton needed to make itself a friendlier place to do business. One result was a streamlined permitting process and innovative ideas that ultimately helped lead to significant growth in residential construction, Parker said. The committee was a prelude to the Community Marketing Campaign Committee, which brought together the City of Renton, Valley Medical Center, the Renton School District, Renton Technical College and the Renton Chamber of Commerce to advance the interests of Renton and its business community. It was during that era that the city’s Ahead of the Curve program was developed in a conference room at the Holiday Inn Select, led by Parker, fellow City Council member Tim Schlitzer and other community and business leaders.
‘Major accomplishment’ “I consider that to be one of my major accommplishments,” Parker said of the Ahead of the Curve campaign. The Saunderson Marketing Group (then known as Hamilton/Saunderson) was hired in 1998 and continues today to promote Renton, including the Renton FilmFrenzy. “He has been an incredibly tireless and passionate supporter of keeping Renton ahead of the curve,” said Ken Saunderson, president of the Saunderson Marketing Group. Parker ran unopposed in 1999 for his second term. He missed the campaigning, the chance to shake hands, he said. “I think scrutiny is good,” he said. Four years later, with eight years on the City Council, he decided to run for mayor. He was ready. It was an open seat. His opponent was fellow City Council member, Kathy Keolker-Wheeler.” “Initially, when I ran for office, that was the furthest thing from my mind,” he said of a mayoral race. He had this “thirst for knowledge” about municipal government; he sat on every council committee so he could learn the inner workings of the city.
“I thought I really had something to offer back to the community,” he said. “To tell you the truth, I thought it would be really fun.” Keolker-Wheeler won, 55 percent to 45 percent. Parker had given up his council seat to run, so his political career was sidelined. But he intended to run again. During those four years, “I still kept very involved with the community and felt that I still had something to offer.” He vowed to never give up his seat again. But, as he retires, he points out that with age comes wisdom. “What’s best for the city is exactly what I am doing,” he said. In that final election for City Council in 2007, he beat Cheryl Haskins, with nearly 60 percent of the vote. Haskins raised about $58,000 to unseat Parker, whose warchest was about $13,600. His political star power hadn’t diminished. And in that same election Denis Law unseated Keolker-Wheeler, with 53 percent of the vote. Known for his marketing prowess for King and Bunny’s, Parker mused on how well he has marketed himself politically. “Not very good for the mayor’s race, but pretty good for the other two,” he said. “Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.”
Listens, respects Parker used his verbal skills as a salesman to debate the issues at City Council meetings. He also listened and he compromised. Once a decision was made, he was ready to move forward. “King works to find the best in all people, but most of all he has earned the respect of the entire council as he is willing to ‘agree to disagree’ on the issues, while not taking the debate personal,” said fellow longtime council member Don Persson. It’s clear Parker’s concern is for Renton and its citizens. Ask about his legacy as a government leader and he demures. “I am just glad I had a chance to be able to serve the city. There you go. It’s been my honor.”
I have been wondering for quite some time how I or anyone could express how incredibly unique King is and what a treasure he has been and will continue to be to our community. Frankly the feeling is here and deep-set but the words just won’t come out in a form that does justice to the feeling. How does one compare something that is incomparable? I’ve lived in Renton four different times, lived in 22 cities, in seven states and four countries and I have never encountered an individual so dedicated to a community and the vision held for that community as is King. Sure he may make some “Whammer Deals” as a result of that involvement but that isn’t why he does it, because in a word, he is selfless to the core (give or take a refrigerator or a washer). There is only one of him and I fully intend to intrude on his now plentiful spare time for the King brand of sage advice that I value so highly. Bill Taylor President and CEO Renton Chamber of Commerce
Finding the best King is one of the most loved and respected people I know, he has earned this honor by being open to all people and all suggestions. He then relates them into how can the council make the best decision for the “entire” community, with this openness he has been able to shape city policy. King works to find the best in all people, but most of all he has earned the respect of the entire council as he is willing to “agree to disagree” on the issues, while not taking the debate personal. He is a very professional and caring person. Don Persson, Renton City Council
Heart of passion King Parker has spent years contributing time, talent, and resources in helping the Renton Community Foundation (RCF) grow and prosper King served three continuous terms on the board of directors including two years as board chairperson. During King’s tenure as board chair, more than 10 funds were added and total assets under management grew by more than $2 million. In addition, King served continuously on the foundation’s finance committee. For the past seven years, King has chaired the foundation’s Circle of Giving Program, raising well over $150,000 that went back into the community. King has a “from the heart passion” to support the foundation’s mission which is to strengthen and expand philanthropy as a way to improve the quality of life in the greater Renton area. The RCF and the greater Renton area are so much better off now and in the future through the tireless efforts of King Parker. THANK YOU KING. James V.

Talk to kids about sexual assault, urges Renton agency BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
As schedules change and children head back to school and sports programs, now is the time to talk with them about sexual assault prevention, urges a local resource group. “From my standpoint everyday is a good day to talk about safety,� said Lindsay Palmer, director of education and prevention at the King County Sexual Assault
Resource Center (KCSARC). “But I can also understand why it’s not necessarily the topic at the dinner table that you want to bring up everyday.� Some parents may find broaching the subject of sexual assault daunting or uncomfortable. But, the group has found there are ways to work the topic into conversations with youth in an appropriate way. Taking cues from KCSARC, Kim, a Renton mother of two, has done just that with her elementary and high school-age
Drawings by clients of the King County Sexual Assault Resource Center are sometimes used as a vehicle for clients to ‘talk’ about self. They are also just given as gifts to therapists from clients or added to the wall at the agency’s Renton office because of a client request. TRACEY COMPTON, Renton Reporter children. A victim of sexual assault, she asked only to be known by her first name. Kim started talking to her children about safety when they were toddlers. Just last year, when her daughter was 9 and her son 13, she revealed to them the abuse she suffered when she was a child. “I was very young when a pedophile victimized our family,� she said. “It has been very powerful for me and for our family to share an appropriate level of detail.� Kim started preparing her children by talking to them first about protecting the area of their body covered by their bathing suits. Then the conversation evolved as they got older to things like using the buddy system and never getting into a car with a stranger. She also looked to the media for ways to open the conversation with her children about inappropriate relationships and abuse. Kim has sat down with her children and asked them what they thought of a particular news story, how they would have protected themselves and asked whether they would have told her about the incident. Palmer agrees with Kim’s tactics and said

talking with children about sexual assault should be an on-going conversation. The national statistics for child sexual abuse have gone down, Palmer said, and can be attributed to several factors. The media and parents talking to other parents have raised awareness on the issue. The “pretty horrific� situations brought in the news “raise the awareness for parents and also organizations that work with youth to say, ‘Do we have policies in place, have I talked with my kids about safety’,� Palmer said. Parents encouraging their friends or other family members to talk with their kids about safety has helped too. It is easier to converse with other parents on the issue when kids are younger, Kim said. “When the children were more in the pre-school times, I think there were more opportunities for parents to have conversations and bring up these issues,� she said. “But as your children age, parenting becomes more of an isolating thing.� This is where having an ongoing open [ more KCSARC page 11 ]

Trusting adults needed for children to grow up healthy [ KCSARC from page 10 ] dialogue with your children about their day and their life in general becomes key. Having this sort of dynamic, Palmer said, will keep parents aware of who is new in their child’s life or who is taking a different role in their life. Sexual assault remains to be the biggest threat from people that the child or family knows. “When we look at the statistics, we are looking at approximately two-thirds of people who offend youth are known to either that youth or the family in some way or another,� said Palmer. Parents need to keep in mind that trusting adults are needed in order for children to grow up strong, healthy and thriving, Kim said. The conversation around safety and sexual abuse should not cause anxiety and keep children from feeling they can’t rely on adults in their lives, she said. “You can do it in a way

Long time Renton area resident and Fairwood G&CC charter member Richard “Dick� Ray passed away quietly in his sleep on Friday, September 9, 2011. He was 29 days short of his 94th birthday. Dick spent most of his adult life working in the aerospace industry. He had the opportunity to know Howard Hughes and Jimmy Stewart while working at the Hughes Aircraft Company in the 1930s. At Lockheed he was a mechanic on Amelia Earhart’s Model 10 Electra. And during his 40 years at Boeing he worked on B-17s, B-29s, 707s, 727s, 737s, 747s and 757s. His Boeing career included overseas assignments in Iraq and Ireland, which gave him and his wife of 50 years, Ruthe, the opportunity to travel the world with stops in Europe, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and the Far East. During his younger days he enjoyed fishing, hunting, snow skiing, water skiing, travel, house boating, Husky football, camping, and golf. Dick was predeceased by Ruthe. Daughter Pamela Schoenle and her husband Mike of Snoqualmie, daughter Sheryl Frost and her husband Jim of Bellevue, and son Greg Ray and his wife Vicki of Renton survive him. He had four grandchildren and four greatgrandchildren. 527184

GOLD SCORES FOUR TIMES TO HELP RENTON TAKE OUT LINDBERGH Renton topped Lindbergh with a wild, 43-40 win Friday night. The Indians (1-2 overall, 1-0 Seamount) got four touchdowns from senior Anthony Gold. The Eagles (1-2, 0-1) got six touchdowns from Cam Callen, but it wasn't quite enough. more story online… RentonReporter.com
Losing a three-time state champion and welcoming a third head coach in three years would mean most programs are on the way down. Not this one. New Hazen girls swim coach Rick Wertman thinks the Highlanders have what it takes to keep moving on – and even get better. “I think we have all the pieces together to be one of the state’s top programs,” Wertman said. “We have a deep team, a talented team.” Hazen had a strong season last year. The Highlanders won the Seamount League meet, took second at districts and finished 10th at state. The team did lose two strong swimmers in Kaela Nurmi and Lauren Kaufman, a three-time state champion who is now swimming at Texas Christian University. “We lost a lot, but I think we’re ready to fill those gaps with numbers, if not top-end talent,” Wertman said. With 61 swimmers, Hazen again has plenty of numbers to throw around. The Highlanders welcome back six returning state competitors. Senior Sarah McCormick finished eighth at the state meet in the one-meter dive competition. Sophomore Kala DiMicco also made the state meet last year in the 200 medley relay, 200 individual medley, dive and 400 free relay. She made the finals in the

Before the season even began, the Renton girls swim team was dealing with a tough loss. Junior Tala Hild suffered a shoulder injury and will miss much of the season, if not the whole season. Hild was part of a core of Indian swimmers turning the program around. Two years ago, Hild and junior Eloisa Bautista were the first Renton swimmers to make state in 11 years. Last year, she was a key part of three Renton state relays. Now, the team must adjust. “It makes it awfully difficult for the relays to get to state,” said Renton coach Diane Pavelin. “One or two new girls could be fast, but maybe not as fast as Tala. Hopefully the other girls on the relay get faster and offset that loss.” But it’s not all bad news. Bautista returns after swimming in four events at state.
200 medley (placed ninth) and 400 free (placed third) relays. Junior Amy LeBar made state SEASON in the 200 free and 200 free relay. Junior Taylor Gale made state in the 200 free relay and junior Mikayla Muratore made state in the 400 free relay. Junior Leah Maier made state in the 200 medley relay. Other key returners are seniors Megan Downs, Aileen Isakharov and Emma Rehrl, as well as juniors Kristal Kozai and Kara Bradford, plus sophomore Talisa Wibmer. New swimmers to watch are freshmen Nadine Berg, Anna Collons, A.J. DiMicco and Kourtney Brunings. Wertman himself comes to Hazen with quite a resume. Among other jobs, he coached the boys swim team at Mount Rainier High School from 1989 to 2005. During that time his teams placed in the top four at state 15 years in a row and won six state titles. His teams were also national champions in 2001 and 2004. Wertman also won the 2007 Washington State High School Swim Coaches Hall of Fame award. “I’ve had an opportunity to be very successful in this state,” Wertman said. “I’m hoping to do similar things Hazen’s Sarah at Hazen. I think we have an opMcCormick dives at the 3A state meet last portunity to do something very spring. CHAD COLEMAN, special.” Reporter Newspapers

She made the finals SEASON in the 100 breastroke and placed 15th. “Her goal is to get back to state again because that’s how she ended last year,” Pavelin said. Health could also play a big role in Bautista’s season. Pavelin said she’s in better health than the previous two years, when various shoulder, elbow, knee and hip injuries have slowed her down. Seniors Lynhda Vuong and Tonie Canlas also return after swimming in Renton’s three relays at state. Pavelin said Vuong in particular is looking to go out with a bang after she was disappointed with her junior season. “She did not have a good junior year compared to her sophomore year,” Pavelin said. “That’s huge motivation as a senior, to end on a

Mattheisen attends Forest Ridge School of the Sacred Heart in Bellevue, and while she’s new to the Renton team, she swims for a club team. Her experience will help the Indians. Renton also added four freshmen this year. Pavelin expects to have 13-14 swimmers this season, similar to last year. Renton’s biggest goal at the [ more RENTON page 14 ]

Eagles: Seven back from 2A state meet [ EAGLES from page 13 ] facing Archbishop Murphy, Ellensburg, Enumclaw and Tahoma in nonleague meets. Junior Jacqui Flaherty, senior Lauren Miller, junior Kaitlin Zinsli and senior Brenna Healy all return after swimming in multiple events at state. Flaherty competed in the 200 medley relay and the 100 back. Miller
swam in the 200 medley relay and 200 free relay. Zinsli and Healy each swam in the 200 and 400 free relays. Miron said the downside of having such a young team last year is that most of the teams at state were young, too, meaning the Eagles won’t have quite as much of an advantage from the experience as they might in other seasons. Senior Amanda Miller finished
seventh in the dive competition at state, while junior Bailey Faull (400 free relay) and sophomore Erica Garl (400 free relay) each competed at state as well. This will be the team’s second year at 2A, after dropping from 3A, which changed the postseason qualifying times. For now, the swimmers’ first goal is to make district qualifying times. Then it’s to make state qualifying times. From that point, Miron said the team will just see what happens.
State main goal for Indians [ RENTON from page 13 ] moment is figuring out how to reform the relays to get back to state without Hild. “It was really tough just knowing she’s out for the season,� Bautista said. “It just makes us think that we have to train harder and be better.� Renton comes into this
season more experienced at the 2A level, something that changed the mindset of the program last year, from underdogs to competitors. “It was intense,� Vuong said. “We were motivated. At 3A we were always just nervous.� Renton takes on Evergreen and Tyee at Hazen Sept. 29.

meal. I love heaping piles of pineapples naturally sweet as Jolly Rancher candy, Hierloom navels quartered, strawberries, and thinly sliced Pink Ladies alongside cheeses, dried fruit, and spreads. I love feeding family and friends good food. I love cooking with my kids and going on our “food experiments� to find ingredients for a recipe. So the image of the Renton food bank being near empty as I read in the Renton Reporter a few weeks ago got me going. Last spring our family hosted three garden beds in our yard for the Just Garden Project. I had
visions of donating truck loads of fresh produce to the Renton Food Bank. But the garden was a bust (except for the peas and zucchini). All I can say is the rain ate my homework. The kids and I are working on another project to help the hungry. A “Cooking with Kids Cookbook.� In fact, my Vegetable Beef soup recipe will be featured alongside recipes contributed by Chef Tom Douglas and Mario Batali with a portion of the proceeds to benefit the food bank. But a book takes time and the Renton Rotary Salvation Army Food Bank needs food now. I pondered ideas about what we could do to help as Amelia and I were in the kitchen making Jitter Juice.

A ‘small idea’ pays off for those in need FilmFrenzy deadline near [ CAROLYN from page 15] thing real. Something that would help another family make their own vegetable beef soup recipe. But what did I have to offer? With four kids like most people these days our family doesn’t have a lot of cans to spare. A lot of good ideas come when I walk or ride my bike. On one such walk I was inspired. And without thinking any more about “big” ideas, I wrote a very small idea to my neighbors.
Hi everyone, September is the national “Let’s Move” month to end childhood obesity. The kids and I will be walking around the neighborhood everyday. The Renton Food Bank is dismally low . . . we want to help. If you have any canned goods you’d like to add to our pile this week let me know and we’d be overjoyed to pick them up on one of our walks! Make one big donation, get some great exercise and help feed the hungry in our community. Thank you very much! Carolyn Ossorio
Like mashed potatoes and gravy, these two ideas were meant to go together and
judging by the response my neighbors agreed. The next day on my walk my ruddy cheeks lifted with satisfaction, hope soared as I saw a green grocery bag perched on a weathered rattan and metal garden chair like a beacon of hope in the afternoon light. My neighbor, Robin, had stuffed the bag with noodles, chicken broth, quinoa, green and garbanzo beans, coconut milk. In a flowing cursive on a lined, yellow note that said “For Carolyn and Crew.” “We’re going to take the food to the food bank!” Patrick proclaimed firmly, as we walked toward home. “Yes, Patrick.” I said. “We’re going to take the food to the food bank.” Cooking and food brings people together and is meant to be shared — whether it’s on the table or as a neighborhood working together to help feed people.
I love suggestions! If you know of people or places in Renton that surprise, delight and inspire the community, drop me a line at carolyn@pippimamma.com. Also follow Carolyn on her blog, www.pippimamma.com.
The registration deadline for the fourth annual Renton FilmFrenzy is fast approaching. For 50 hours, in just over a month, filmmakers will descend on Renton inside and out for the film-making competition. They’ll compete for $1,700 in prizes in two divisions – and a Curvee Award – Oct. 7-9. Registration for the filmmaking competition is now open. The deadline to register is 5 p.m. Oct. 1. “Thanks to our partnerships with SIFF, Reel Grrls, theFilmSchool, area filmmaking programs and the Renton Arts Commission, the Renton FilmFrenzy continues to expand and has become an integral part of the growing and strong Renton arts community,” said Renton Mayor Denis Law.

The top films will be screened. Also during the gala, theFilmSchool
will present the Frenzy Screenwriting Award. Reel Grrls will present the Woman Filmmaker Award. Then on Wednesday, Oct. 26, FilmFrenzy activities wrap-up with a chance to meet with the filmmakers during the Downtown Renton FilmTalk. The Renton Reporter again will host the online voting for the People’s Choice Award at rentonreporter.com. All films entered will be posted on the Renton Reporter website for viewing and voting after the Curvee Awards Gala. The winning film will receive a special “People’s Choice” Curvee award at a November Renton City Council meeting. The competition begins at 5 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 7, when the filmmakers receive their “CurveBall Challenges – a line of dialogue, a task or a shot at a specific location in Renton. Then, they have through 7 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 9, to write, shoot, edit and submit a short film. Filmmakers can use any genre for their four-minute film, which must be shot entirely in Renton – and be suitable for all ages. There are two divisions, Student Division for high school students and younger (entry fee, $25), and the Open Division (entry fee, $50).
