School test scores show strong upswing

BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

Renton School District students have experienced new gains on state test scores, thanks to the support of the district and the community, said the superinten-

dent.

The district has seen improvement on 16 of the 19 state tests given annually to students in grades three through 10. They’ve also seen improvements in mathematics scores in every grade level, with nearly 70 percent of

elementary schools seeing gains between 20 and 40 percent.

“They’re phenomenal gains; we’ve had steady gains over the last several years,” said Superintendent Mary Alice Heuschel.

“This is not an anomaly. It’s very exciting.”

These results are a true reflection of a team effort, Heuschel said, giving credit to new math materials, outside consultants, grants, district staff and community support. [ more TESTS page 18 ]

A last-minute entry in the Renton FilmFrenzy IV, “The Disconnect,” captured top awards, including Best Picture, at the 2011 Curvee Awards Gala Tuesday night.

Its screenwriter, Mitch Shep-

herd of Renton, won The FilmSchool Outstanding Screenwriter Award. And lead actor, John Wu of Bellevue, who went to Kentridge High School with Shepherd, won the Best Actor Curvee.

In accepting the screenwriter award, Shepherd said filmmaking is about “telling a good story.” He already had an idea for his film

and ends up getting that advice from a stranger, only seen from behind playing a video game. The stranger is played by Shepherd.

A key line went something like “I thought you and Boeing were just a fling.”

The first FilmFrenzy Screening award, voted on by those who attended Monday night’s screening of all 17 films, went to “Shakespeare in the Parking Lot.” [ more CURVEE page 3 ]

Two unions representing hundreds of City of Renton employees have decided to stand by their endorsement of Ed Prince for the City Council.

The decision to stick with Prince followed a decision by the Renton Police Officers Guild to pull its endorsement of Prince this week.

The two unions, International Association of Firefighters Local 864, and Local 2170 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, talked with Prince before making their decisions.

Prince said he didn’t talk with the police guild before its deEd Prince cision to pull the endorsement.

The unions reconsidered their endorsements from earlier this year after receiving information from Rosemary Quesenberry, a campaign volunteer for Robin Jones, Prince’s opponent.

Using public disclosure requests, Quesenberry collected documents related to jobless benefits Prince is paying back, a default on his condominium mortgage and a bank debt.

Prince said Tuesday he’s happy with the union’s decisions.

They are born of fire and breaths of air.

They are the Curvee award and they were handed out Tuesday night to the top films competing in Renton FilmFrenzy IV. The Curvee is elegant in its simplicity. Each weighs about three pounds, about five pounds less than another well-known statue, the Oscar.

They’re made by Uptown Glassworks on Main Avenue at no charge.

Owner Paul Sullivan’s shop also does the glass-blown apples handed out to new teachers in the Renton School District.

The Curvee, Sullivan said, has “become the symbol of the FilmFrenzy.�

The curving glass sculpture evokes a piece of Renton’s history, the I-405 S-curves, not to mention the city’s slogan, “Ahead of the Curve.�

Uptown’s gaffers take the lead in creating each Curvee. Because they are handblown, they are not exactly alike.

Tom Anderson is one of those gaf-

Glass-blowing is very much teamoriented, said Anderson, who has been a glass-blower for 29 years. “We get to know each other’s movements and anticipate what’s needed

next,� he said.

A Curvee starts as a bubble at the end of a long hollow blow pipe. “It’s like gathering honey,� Anderson said.

Anderson will turn the pipe to create a shape out of the glass. Sprigg’s breaths expand the glass. “It’s a soft and steady slow blow,� he said.

At well-learned intervals, Anderson plunges the Curvee into the gas-fired oven and its roughly 2,300 degrees of heat that keeps the Curvee at a working consistency.

The technique is basic, Anderson said.

But, as Spriggs said, “Sometimes you get more with less.�

Each Curvee is sandblasted to give it a frosted look.

Hot glass is poured into a mold to create the Curvee base; its attached with a glue. The longest part of the process is a stay of between 18 and 20 hours that will allow the Curvee to cool slowly. If allowed to cool naturally, the Curvee would likely crack.

A plaque is attached to the base.

They were made by metal-work students at Lindbergh High School.

Greg Taylor corrects letter

Question of the week:

?

“Do you like the system of voting by mail?”

Vote online: www.rentonreporter.com Last week’s poll results: “Do endorsements help you decide which candidate to vote for?”

In response to the letter to the editor (These are my choices, Oct. 21, 2011) that was written in last week’s issue. I would like to respond to statements that were made claiming that I did not have one good thing to say about our present downtown library and that I thought our diverse community would be better served by a new smaller library located at the Big 5 site. I did not make those statements. The letter further went on to say that I voted against saving our library in a 6 to 1 vote which as you know is simply not the case! The council took a vote on June 20 to adopt Ordinance No. 5613 authorizing the issuance of up to $18 million in general obligation bonds to carryout the development of two new libraries in Renton. This was a 4 to 3 vote, 4 to approve and 3 not to approve the ordinance. As you know I was among those voting against the ordinance, seeking to get more input and direction from our residents to help guide us in making the best decision for Renton residents and the future site for the downtown library. I am clear and focused as to why I am on the Renton City Council and whose interest I represent and serve.

I have been a longtime resident of Renton and I vote in the City of Renton. Over the years, I have worked on a number of different campaigns. I am a Democrat and have been a member of the 11th District Democrats for years as well. I urge you to join me in voting for Robin Jones for Renton City Council. Robin is a true leader, not a follower. Robin Jones is thoughtful and intelligent. He will be a wonderful asset to the council and our community. Robin Jones’ character reflects a disciplined, devoted and unbiased man who will bring those qualities to the City Council. I know both candidates well and I have worked with them both in the 11th District. Although both candidates are Democrats in this nonpartisan race, Jones is the candidate who will best represent all the members of our community.

Robin has a long history of working on boards and committees in the city and has always been a positive force when serving. I am voting for Robin Jones.

Heuschel has the experience When you mark your ballots and mail them in before Nov. 8, please select Mary Alice Heuschel as Hospital Commissioner of Public Hospital District #1 (Valley Medical Center). Although this is a low-profile election, selecting the right hospital commissioner is crucial to healthcare in South King County. Mary Alice’s experience, endorsements, and lack of conflicts of interest make her the best candidate.

Mary Alice Heuschel is employed as the Superintendent of Renton Schools, a position she will obviously retain if elected to the Commission because the Hospital Commission is

part-time. In fact, former Superintendent Gary Kohlwes also served on the Hospital Commission while being a successful superintendent.

Mary Alice is the only candidate with experience managing millions of taxpayer dollars, and the only candidate who has stood up for taxpayers and patients at commission board meetings.

Just look at Mary Alice’s endorsements, the fact that these individuals and groups put their trust in her is a testament to her capabilities and qualifications: the nurses of Valley Medical Center, the Renton and Kent firefighters, local mayors, various doctors and public officials, groups such as the Boeing Aerospace Machinists, the King County Labor Council, the Women’s Political Caucus of Washington State, the Renton Chamber of Commerce, and many more groups, individuals and community leaders in Renton and Kent.

Mary Alice’s opponent is a doctor with a private clinic that is in competition with Valley Medical Center. It is not for me to say whether his private clinic will affect his ability to serve Valley patients, but a conflict of interest is a concern and should doctors oversee themselves?

Mary Alice Heuschel is knowledgeable about issues facing Valley Medical and she is an independent leader who is prepared to and will fight to protect public health services without conflicts. I’m urging you to join me in voting for her as Commissioner of Public Hospital District #1.

Breaking down cronyism I’m not sure where Robin is learning his campaign tactics .... just pick a key word (cronyism!) and get your supporters to keep repeating it regardless of how irrelevant or asinine it is. This kind of campaigning has no place in a Renton City Council race, and now that it’s become Robin’s campaign theme, allow me to remind Robin what a crony is, and is not.

“Cronyism is partiality to long-standing friends, especially by appointing them to positions of authority, regardless of their qualifications.”

Let me break this down: first, an election is not an appointment by incumbents, and an

endorsement of a candidate is not an appointment. It is an announcement to the voting public that they believe that THIS candidate, Ed Prince, is the superior candidate to serve Renton. The elected officials and organizations that have endorsed Ed Prince have done so because Ed has spent YEARS working for Renton. They have seen Ed’s dedication to the people in this community. They have seen his commitment to learning the issues, hearing from the people, and making intelligent decisions.

Second, cronyism is favoritism “regardless of their qualifications.” If Ed was unqualified and still had so much more support than Robin Jones, Robin might have something to complain about. But Ed has significantly broader experience than Robin in Renton organizations, and has spent his entire career engaged in local, neighborhood efforts to improve communities.

From serving on the City of Renton Planning Commission to serving as a City of Renton Community Budget Adviser, it’s pretty clear who has actually done work in and for Renton, and who is just shouting Crony! Crony! Crony! for lack of anything substantive to offer. Ed has earned the respect of people all around this community for all manner of reasons, including running a clean, positive campaign. I’ll be voting for Ed Prince.

We lose in negative campaigns After attending the candidate forum at Leisure Estates this past Tuesday evening, I was reminded of all that is good about politics in Renton.

We are more concerned and focused on the needs and wants of the entire community today than on our past mistakes or clouded vision. We know that we all need to work together, to listen to one another, to continue learning how to do things more effectively, more efficiently and more inclusively.

Campaigns that focus on the shortcomings of an opponent or group of supporters shift our focus away from what matters most, the city of Renton and all of its citizens. For the most part, [ more LETTERS page 5 ]

Letters to the editor [ LETTERS from page 4] campaigns in our fair city model the behaviors that are necessary for a vibrant city where every citizen is respected and has value. When campaigns resort to focusing on past acts or incomplete, erroneous information in attempts to move the voters’ attention from their needs, their concerns, their issues and how we need to work together to make our city the best it can be for all of us, we all lose. We have too much at stake, too much to do, too many relying upon all of us to let that kind of campaigning happen in our city.

In the final weeks of this campaign, it is my hope that our focus is on Renton and all of her citizens. That the candidates seeking our support remember that what we are looking for are people who can and will support us, all of us, and not the other way around.

Our past paves the way for our future; that includes the bumps in the road, the occasional pothole and scenic detours. All those things provide us with the knowledge and experience to know what we need to do in the future, to make life better here in Renton for all of us.

Don Persson key to making city safer I enthusiastically encourage voters to keep Don Persson on the Renton City Council. I’ve worked with Don for 12 years on council and earlier when he was deputy police chief. Don is a tireless advocate for public safety who has never taken a break from crime fighting. After he retired his badge and gun, he began applying his extraordinary insight about gangs and crime to implement the programs that make our city safer.

Don is also a respected regional representative for Renton transportation, who has played a key role in getting road funding from county, state, and federal governments. He strongly supports our neighborhoods with his policy decisions and his volunteer work. He was a founder of Renton River Days and a Renton Citizen of the Year.

My council colleagues and I have elected Don to council president three times, and all of us have endorsed his reelection campaign.

Randy Corman Renton

Taylor spoke up about library issue Judith Tabak’s letter to the editor Oct. 21 expressed views about Councilman Greg Taylor which I found hard to believe, based on my own conversations with Councilman Taylor about the downtown library issue. Yet, not only did I speak with Mr. Taylor a number of times but was at the council meeting when the vote was made to approve the library bond issue. He

was not only one of the three dissenting votes on the council, but he was the ONLY one who spoke up against the bond issue being approved as it was, without further chance for input and decision on the part of the public.

He clearly was against closure of the Cedar River library location without allowing the public more voice and say-so in the matter, especially with so many stepping forward against the council’s direction.

It is difficult for me to write this letter since Ms. Tabak, as I along with others, stands in agreement that the Cedar River location should continue to be Renton’s downtown library.

Sadly, the new location decided on is less conducive to safety and parking needs and the building plan for what will replace the current library hasn’t the facility to continue programs for children, which the Cedar River building now accommodates.

Because of allegations made, and timing of the ballot mailing with your printing Ms Tabak’s letter, I felt a rebuttal was immediately necessary, as Ms. Tabak’s claims unfairly cast aspersions on Mr. Taylor who has our city’s well-being at heart and the willingness and determination to be representative of the people living here.

Persson has the experience The ballots have arrived and once again, it’s time to think seriously about our city and the way it runs.

Sometimes, because local issues and politics lack the glamour and publicity of state or national politics, we fail to appreciate their importance. It’s important to evaluate our candidates and their impact on Renton. Saying this, it’s pretty obvious who is the best choice for council at Position No. 7.

Councilman Don Persson has the experience and knowledge to serve his community thoughtfully and well and his record is clear on this point. He has a prudent and sensible outlook, and carefully evaluates not only the short-term, but also the long-term consequences of proposed changes.

Don is a generous contributor of his time and expertise whenever called upon. Many organizations call on Don for help with planning large scale fundraisers, celebrations, and other events. He is always glad to be of service.

Please join me in voting for Don Persson for Council Position No. 7.

FYI

The Renton Reporter is devoting extra space to Letters to the Editor today because of the large number of letters. This is the last Friday that we will run any letters that raise new issues to which a candidate deserves a chance to respond before the Nov. 8 general election. We will run letters next Friday, too, but only those that continue to express support for a particular candidate. The letters also appear at rentonreporter.com. Ed Prince has authored an open letter to the community to respond to issues that have been raised about his personal finances. Because of its length, it’s only appearing online. His opponent, Robin Jones, has been offered the opportunity to also comment on those issues.

Ed’s been a close friend of mine for several years, but I’ve only recently talked with him about the struggles he’s experienced in life. As a result of those conversations, I now have even more respect for the man he is today. Ed had a very different childhood than my own, to say the least.

Growing up, I never once experienced economic insecurity, and I always had my parents to rely on for emotional and financial support.

Ed had the opposite experience.

Every success he’s had in life is the result of the positive choices he made as a teen and as an adult. In my 20s, I racked up an enormous amount of debt on frivolous things, and ultimately paid the price for my irresponsibility. Ed, on the other hand, was busy paying off student loans and saving up for his first home in his 20s.

Despite his frugality, his family faced a financial crisis when he lost his job a couple years ago. But the tough times are now behind them, and the experience made Ed even more attuned to the harsh realities of our current economic climate. Isn’t that the type of person we want on our City Council?

Someone who understands the true implications of budget cuts, city fees, service reductions, and new taxes on working families, young adults, and seniors on fixed incomes? And more than that, Ed is an honorable person, someone who refuses to sacrifice his values just for the sake of winning an election.

Ed Prince has plenty of integrity I was already prepared for the slander and mud-slinging for 2012, but I didn’t think we’d see it this year in Renton. I am tired of hearing Robin Jones’ attacks on Ed Prince. I know Ed Prince. Ed is an amazing, decent family man who overcame extremely difficult family challenges to become the excellent public servant he is today.

He and his wife have hunkered down against Robin’s slanderous attacks and were prepared to weather the storm and stick to the issues, but I have [ more LETTERS page 6]

Greg Taylor one of council’s stars I am writing to comment of the posted letter from Judith Tabak published in the Oct. 21 Reporter.

Judith has completely misrepresented Greg Taylor with respect to the library. Greg is one of a few council members who boldly voted against approving the interlocal agreement on June 22 that set the course for moving forward on the library move. Judith was at that June 22 council meeting when that vote occurred and knows full well that Mr. Taylor stuck his neck out in favor of waiting until the city could better gauge the response and

desires of voters when it came to the downtown library. I sat next to her!

Earlier at the council of the whole meeting Mr. Taylor was very vocal about his reservations on the course the city was taking on this issue. Judith’s comments are simply wrong, and are nothing more than hearsay. Your newspaper reporter was also at those meetings and can confirm Mr. Taylor’s actions on the issue. Greg is one of the hardest working council members whom has been as much or more engaged with the public than many others on the council, and consistently makes an effort to properly represent his constituents.

Greg Taylor is one of the stars on our City Council and deserves a published rebuttal on Judith Tabak’s letter.

Our elected officials have come from the same pool – the same old clubs and committees. Renton has good citizens and active volunteers that are overlooked because they aren’t part of that pool. It’s time to improve Renton with fresh voices and leadership.

Robin Jones has been committed to Renton longer than his opponent – 15 years, not just six. He’s been on the Human Services Advisory Council (HSAC) since 2002, chairing for three years. I’ve served with Robin on HSAC dealing with emergency services needed by our most vulnerable citizens. Robin led us through difficult decisions on skyrocketing funding requests within a tight city budget. He listened, led with compassion and communicated effectively. On HSAC we are briefed on annexation and community development issues. Robin is prepared. Robin listens.

Robin’s background shows responsibility. He earned a master’s degree.

He is a program manager with Boeing, while also serving in the U.S. military for 25 years. He is a deputy commander leading 1,300 of our nation’s soldiers, managing a multi-million dollar budget.

Renton police and firefighters, here’s the guy who understands deployment and deserves your vote.

Robin owes no favors to major supporters or certain elected officials for arranging endorsements. His vote isn’t for sale.

Robin Jones is the fresh voice we need on City Council.

Library committee considers plan, vision

BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

The City of Renton has a vision for the downtown core and a steering committee to redevelop the library over the Cedar River should not be limited to the building’s current structural limitations to meet a new concept for that space.

That’s what the Renton Liberty Park Library Steering Committee members learned from presentations last week from various city departments on redevelopment plans for Renton and a site assessment of the current downtown library over the Cedar River.

The history of the city’s development was detailed starting with the 1993 City Campus Plan explained by Jay Covington, the city’s chief administrative officer.

He covered how the city once planned to create a municipal campus around the current downtown library. That vision changed when voters did not approve a levy to build a public safety building in the area and city hall moved from the 200 Mill building to its current location at 1055 Grady Way. Covington expressed that there is no current priority to create a symbiotic relationship between the 200 Mill building and the library building, but to have some concept that allows the public to have access in and around the space.

Leslie Betlach, parks director, gave an overview of the city’s park system and how

it would change with proposed widening and construction plans for Interstate 405.

In the summer of 2005, different state agencies and consultants got together for a design charrette to create a master plan for the areas encompassed in Liberty Park, the library, Cedar River Park and the Stoneway and Narco Properties that would be impacted by the widening of the highway.

Adopted in 2006, the Tri-Park Master Plan calls for big changes to the area. It creates new access to Liberty Park off of Garden Street. The skate and basketball areas would be moved to a more prominent location. The central area of Liberty Park becomes a passive meadow with the baseball fields removed and modernized at the Stoneway Property. Soccer fields would be added to where the Narco facilities are currently located. There is also a long-term goal to expand the Henry Moses Aquatics Center.

The Washington State Department of Transportation predicts the changes to I-405 wouldn’t happen until 2025. Ideas that came out of the public process that created the master plan were expanding the community center, developing a teen center and creating a space for multiple uses, although the steering committee is not bound to adopt those ideas for the library building.

Chip Vincent, the city’s planning director, added to the vision of Renton’s future with his presentation of the City Center Neighborhood Plan.

In 2009 that department started the public process. In 2010 goals were drafted, revisions made and a strategy developed.

On June 6, the City Council adopted the City Center Neighborhood Plan.

The plan called for many features the steering committee found appealing, including creating a connection between The Landing and the downtown core via Park Avenue with perhaps a trolley system like Portland’s.

Committee member Francine Siverts thought the city’s plans for redevelopment were excellent and well thought out for creating connectivity. “And as far as the library, by them presenting some visual changes that means we will have options to make the building a little prettier than what it is,� she said. “And also maybe make it so that it’s more futuristic and usable for many different types of projects.�

The committee was given the current downtown library’s structural limitations as presented by Greg Stroh, the city’s facility manager.

The building was constructed in 1966 and is 22,400 square-feet. The heating ventilation and air conditioning system, the electrical system and the floor bearing capacity would all require upgrades if the use is to be changed in order to bring it up to current building code.

This was welcome news to committee member Norm Abrahamson, who was under the impression that the library had

to be upgraded no matter what for a ton of money. “Now (Terry Higashiyama’s) groundruled in the fact that well, we’re not going to consider increasing the floor capacity as limitation on our thinking,� Abrahamson said. “And that’s good because to think of uses that wouldn’t change the floor loading that really limits you greatly.�

Gary Barber and Marvin Rosete were elected chair and vice chair of the steering committee respectively. Both thought questions about the floor loading capacity were irrelevant at this stage of the process. “In my profession I know the ways that you can get the structural capacity that you need, but like Marvin says, it depends,� said Barber. “It’s like how much is a bag of groceries, it depends on what’s in the bag,� he said, describing how the use would dictate the building’s load capacity.

Barber is an architect and Rosete has worked in non-profits and public administration, including work in building management and historic preservation for a number of years.

Barber was encouraged by the emphasis on development he saw in the city’s plans for the downtown core. “I mean, it’s really exciting and the fact that this is such a node in the connection of different parts of the city, I think it gives us some real opportunities to really highlight the building in a way that maybe a library use wouldn’t have highlighted,� he said.

Emancipation Suit put women on road to freedom The dream I’m following right now is a kids cooking television show. And somehow singing that song from the movie “Coal Miner’s Daughter” gives me courage when I’m doing laundry or washing dishes as the shoot date approaches and self doubt creeps as I’m scheduling the film crew with the Seattle Art Institute and devising intricate childcare options—I wonder do I have the chutzpa to do this dream?

Yes, with the help of Loretta Lynn and a new T-shirt for the occasion, I believe I can.

A couple of years ago I started wearing T-shirts in the same way Donald Trump Carolyn Ossorio

On Nov. 8 the kids and I will be filming a cooking show demo with celebrity chef, restaurateur, cookbook author and community activist Tom Douglas … umm no pressure.

There’s an old Loretta Lynn song I sing when I need a little courage infusion.

“I was born a coal-miners daughter . . .

We were poor but we had love…and that was something that Daddy made sure of.”

Now I wasn’t born a coal-miners daughter and we didn’t live in a house in Butcher Holler. But our mamma, (we’re not Southern either, but whenever you sing a Loretta Lynn song, you have to use a deep southern voice). Anyway, Momma always encouraged my sister and I to never take no for an answer and to always follow our dreams sans Loretta Lynn.

Her T-shirts adorned FilmFrenzy physical freedom for women. Emancipation from brutally tight corsets meant to shape women’s waists into unnaturally small forms. It is suggested that the reason women seemed so fragile, expected to faint at anytime, was because their corsets prohibited proper breathing.

Today’s T-shirts have evolved even further and with modern technology it is possible and affordable to use it as a medium for personal expression.

So if you’re looking to make a personal or creative statement there is no better place than Renton’s own Black Anchor Tshirts & Printing.

I would pass the wee little shop at 235

Main Ave. S. in downtown Renton. Just the name, Black Anchor, conjured the image of a swashbuckling pirate and the desire to say, Argh.

Gearing up for Christmas last year I was on the prowl for something special for Amelia. I was walking past Black Anchor T-Shirts and peered into the store window.

I saw a child’s bouncy and thought‌it’s custom t-shirt time.

I telephoned the proprietress of Black Anchor T-Shirts & Printing, Sarah Little. I told her about my daughter’s art. “Send it over!� she replied and I could hear her baby daughters voice in the background.

Sarah brings her daughter to work with her everyday. I asked her what was her motivation.

I asked Sarah what she loves most about her job. “I love it that people come to me with the craziest thing and they are so excited to talk to me about it. “Right now I’m working on a Free Phoenix Jones T-shirt.� Sarah said referring to the self-proclaimed superhero in the news this week that Seattle prosecutors might file charges against for allegedly using pepper spray to break up a fight.

I had no idea the history of T-shirts was so rich. And yet it seems very appropriate that wearing one emblazoned with Pippi Longstocking makes me feel a freedom from inhibition and convention—in other words emancipated. Look out Tom here we come.

This week’s‌ While the driver tries to deal with the naked female, the other female passenger exits the Hummer, removes her underwear, throws them back into the car and puts back on her pants.

Two Renton teenagers were attacked by men wielding paintball guns near Lindbergh High School on Oct. 10.

The two girls were walking at about 6 p.m. when a fourdoor Honda vehicle pulled up beside them. One of the girls exchanged words with the driver. The passenger reached over toward them, holding what looked like a homemade paintball gun.

The passenger shot at them, hitting one girl several times on her right shoulder. The other girl was hit on her left side and left shoulder.

Both girls ran toward the school, while the vehicle took off at a high rate of speed headed south on 128th Avenue Southeast.

County Council OKs $130,000 for 737 The King County Council Monday approved $100,000 for a competitiveness study that will look at the current state of the aerospace industry in King County.

The council also approved $30,000 to help fund the statewide Project Pegasus, designed to ensure that Boeing 737 airplanes are always manufactured in Washington state, including the new Boeing 737 MAX. The competitive study is part of the King County Aerospace Alliance, which county Executive Dow Constantine announced last week at a press conference overlooking the 737 production plan in Renton. “This targeted funding will promote regional economic recovery and is proof that this government stands ready to support the creation of local, family wage jobs,� said Constantine. “I am thankful that the council has acted so quickly to demonstrate that our region, which has the factories, workforce and transportation infrastructure, is determined to compete in the aerospace industry on a global scale.�

A parent complained of a suspicious person stalking students around Nelsen Middle School on Oct. 10.

The principal relayed an email to police from a parent whose child was followed on the way home from school.

That child said a group of friends was followed by a white male in a red raggedy truck sometime after school had ended for the day.

The same thing happened near Renton High School, which sent out a warning to parents about a man approaching kids when they are leaving school.

The man is described as in his 30s, with a medium build, wearing a bright yellow construction jacket with an orange stripe on the back.

Trick ‘r Treat What is Probate?

Probate is the legal process that determines how a deceased person’s assets will be distributed. The Superior Court has jurisdiction to approve the decedent’s Will, and to appoint the person who has the responsibility to administer the estate.

In the process, the rights of the estate’s beneficiaries, as well as the decedent’s creditors and taxing authorities are protected. The financial aspects of the decedent’s life are “wrapped up� and the assets are distributed in accordance with the decedent’s wishes.

Unions represent hundreds of City of Renton employees “I feel that these attacks are not relevant to what I have done for the city or what I would bring to the city as a council member,� he said. “It’s time to get back to talking about the issues.�

Leadership of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, Local 2170, met Monday night and again Tuesday to discuss Prince’s endorsement.

Local 2170 has 292 members in every city department and division, with the exception of the Police Department.

Pat Miller, the Local 2170 president, said the local looked at when the incidents occurred and also considered that the election is near. The team “had a good discussion� with Prince. “He explained a little more about personal stuff,� Miller said. The team also reviewed the documents provided by Quesenberry, coming away satisfied with

what was learned, he said. “He’s a solid candidate,� Miller said.

Doug McDonald, president of the International Association of Firefighters Local 864, said Prince provided the local with information “that allows us to maintain our endorsement.�

Prince, he said, will provide “strong leadership as a Renton council member.�

Everyone is entitled to make mistakes and amends, he said, in relation to the issues raised by Quesenberry.

The local has never done background checks of a candidate before considering an endorsement, he said.

Sgt. Craig Sjolin, president of the Renton Police Officers Guild, said “We are turning back the clock,� based on information it has received since it endorsed Prince earlier this year.

Up until this week, Prince has received the endorsement of local labor groups representing most of the city’s rank-and-file

signed. He filed for benefits under that assumption. But the corporate office disputed the claim and won. Prince is now each month paying back the jobless benefits.

Sjolin said the guild based its decision on the jobless claim, a default on Prince’s condominium and his handling of a ticket for driving with his license suspended in 1998 in Whitman County.

Sjolin said the guild did its own “due diligence� before deciding to pull its endorsement.

The guild wouldn’t have endorsed Prince had it known about these issues, Sjolin said.

The issues, Sjolin said, “didn’t resonate well� with the membership.

Sjolin revealed that Mark Martinez, who came in third in the primary election, was the guild’s first choice, but he “just needed a little more maturity,� he said.

The guild’s decision doesn’t mean that the membership wouldn’t endorse Prince in the future, Sjolin said. It’s just that the issues should have been disclosed, he said. “We are not trying to pass judgment on anyone,� he said.

Prince said he hopes to work with the guild in the future. “Honestly, I am a big supporter of law enforcement. And I am a big supporter of the police officers guild,� he said.

employees. Jones has received endorsements of district-level labor groups.

The police guild doesn’t plan to endorse Jones in Prince’s place.

Prince said he found out Monday morning that the police guild had pulled its endorsement. “My initial blush is that I am disappointed,� he said Monday.

The reasons mainly stem from how Prince has handled his personal finances, including receiving $14,000 in jobless benefits the state ultimately decided he didn’t deserve.

Prince received the jobless benefits after he resigned from his sales job for Greenwood Funeral Home in Renton, part of the national Service Corporation International.

Prince explained in an interview with the Renton Reporter that his job initially was salaried, then it was converted to commission-based. Keeping his job hinged on his ability to sell a certain number of funeral plans, he said. Faced with the possibility of being fired, he chose to resign. He said his employer indicated it was OK with them if he applied for jobless benefits under those conditions Prince said he was told by the Employment Security Division that he could file for unemployment benefits, even if he re-

School district has met goal of increasing number of students meeting standards in 3 subjects [TESTS from page 1] It’s taken a number of years starting six years ago with focused data, she said.

The district eliminated the excuses, faced hard facts and buckled down on what works, Heuschel said.

The biggest gap closed was between what they know from all their research and what the district was doing in practice, she said.

The district set out with the goal of decreasing the number of students who failed to meet state standards by 10 percent. They met that goal with substantial increases in the number of students meeting standards in elementary mathematics, elementary and middle school science, and high school writing.

There were targeted efforts to decrease the achievement gap between low-income and non-low income students, and the achievement gap between white and Asian students with Black and Hispanic students.

The district reported that low-income students met the established 10 percent goal with increases in elementary mathematics, writing and science; middle school writing and science; and high school reading and writing. They also reported that Black and Hispanic students met the goal in elementary mathematics, science and writing; middle school science; and high school writing.

Just because they’ve met some goals and experienced success, it doesn’t mean they are sitting back, they will continually improve, Heuschel said.

The district will continue to use the 10 percent reduction formula for the number of students not meeting their goals.

However, there are goals for 2014 that have already been met and the school board has to set a new number based on their success.

Test scores

FYI

Significant improvements resulted in doubledigit gains for many schools; examples of 20 percentage point gains or more include: BRYN MAWR, 4th grade writing, 20% CAMPBELL HILL, 4th grade reading, 20%; 4th grade math, 20% HAZELWOOD, 4th grade math, 40%; 5th grade science, 43% HIGHLANDS, 5th grade math, 20% KENNYDALE, 4th grade reading, 20%; 4th grade math, 44% LAKERIDGE, 4th grade reading, 36%; 4th grade math, 20%; 4th grade writing 27% MAPLEWOOD, 4th grade math, 22%; 5th grade math, 20%; 5th grade science 43% RENTON PARK, 4th grade math, 24% TIFFANY PARK, 4th grade math, 20%; 5th grade math, 26% They continue to work toward pre-kindergarten through 12th grade achievement as well as equity and access for all students.

They still have some high needs schools like Lakeridge Elementary, which receives federal support and additional plans, Heuschel said.

They have already met the federal goals for Lakeridge, where there is a high turnover rate and many languages are spoken there.

Lakeridge receives additional financial and research support, according to Heuschel.

“It’s a great feeling to know we’re on the right track, but there’s still tremendous needs in the district,” Heuschel said.

The district has also put into place some efforts to help educators as well.

In 2008, the district and the teachers’ union created “delayed start Fridays,” where teachers work together collaboratively for 1 1/2 hours at the start of most Fridays.

Between 2009 and 2010, based on Renton’s newly developed “Vision of Instruction” an instructional framework with meaningful initiatives to improve teaching and learning took shape.
