The vote by Machinists Wednesday on an historic contract with Boeing was arguably one of the most important elections in Renton’s history. Mayors and City Council members come and go, but Boeing, at least it’s hoped, is forever. That forever was a key part in the election, that the thousands of Machinists in the region would approve the new contract that commits Boeing to building the 737 MAX in Renton. The commitment secures thousands of aerospace jobs in Renton and beyond for years, if not decades to come. It’s a much-needed piece of positive news for the city’s economy. That the vote was all about

Tom Wroblewski, president of the Machinists District 751, speaks with Machinists Wednesday morning outside the union hall in Renton after casting his vote to ratify a contract extension with Boeing. DEAN A. RADFORD, Renton Reporter jobs was the point the president of Machinists District 751, Tom Wroblewski, made after casting his vote at the union hall in Renton Wednesday morning to ratify the contract between his union and Boeing. The hall on Burnett Avenue was an easy walk for the Machinists who work at the
737 plant. Like thousands of other Machinists, Wroblewski signed in, then walked back to cast his vote. “Good standing card goes here?” he asked. Yes. “The ballot goes here.” And he was done. “It’s a vote for jobs for the future here in Renton, here in
Puget Sound and Washington state as well,” Wroblewski said, calling his vote in Renton “symbolic.” “Good job, Tommie,” called out a Machinist. “Hey, thank you,” he said. The process was repeated Wednesday at union halls [ more VOTES page 16 ]
The City of Renton has delayed the vote on the West Hill annexation until November 2012 because of uncertainty surrounding a key source of state revenue needed to provide services there. The Renton City Council voted 6-1 Monday on a recommendation from the city’s Department of Community and Economic Development that the city change the election date from Feb. 14, 2012. Now, West Hill will vote on whether to annex to Renton in the Nov. 6, 2012, general election. The Renton City Council then will decide whether to approve the annexation. “As a former resident of the West Hill, I would very much like to see this area annex to the city,” said Denis Law Mayor Denis Law in a news release. “But, we are relying on the state tax credit to help make annexation of the West Hill possible. Even with the program, costs for the West Hill annexation still exceed what the area generates in tax revenues. Without the credit, I don’t see how we will ever find a way to cover the costs of serving this community,” Law said. The same uncertainty over the state’s willingness to share its sales tax in newly an[ more WEST HILL page 8 ]
Budget cuts threaten kindergarten, staffing tcompton@rentonreporter.com
Proposed state budget cuts to education could mean teacher layoffs, increased class sizes, staff benefit reductions among other cost-cutting measures in Renton School
District. The district is facing more budget cuts because Gov. Chris Gregoire has called for more than $2 billion in state spending cuts. Gregoire presented a supplemental budget plan to the state Legislature Nov. 21. Overall her proposal cuts more than $500
million from kindergarten-12 education programs and colleges and universities by another 13 to 17 percent. Gregoire has proposed increasing class sizes for fourth through 12th grade. Such a move would reduce the number of overall classes and therefore reduce the number of
teachers. In addition, low-income schools in the district would no longer be funded for full-day kindergarten. If parents want their children in full-day kindergarten, based on [ more BUDGET page 15 ]

the food bank. “There is an absolute need out there,� said Capt. Dan McDonald, who presented the $1,000 check outside the Fire Station 14 headquarters on Lind Avenue. The food drive was organized by Capt. Rick Marshall of Fire Station 12. “We want to do more,� said McDonald. “But this is a good start.� Each of the city’s fire stations has adopted a family for the holidays, providing food, clothing and gifts for each family. Accepting the check and the food was Salvation Army Capt. Chris Aird. He praised the efforts of the firefighters. “That’s big to me,� he said. And he made the point
that the Salvation Army doesn’t feed the hungry on its own but needs the help of the entire community during the holidays and year around. The food was unloaded by fire crews at the food bank; it was weighed in three batches. Food bank volunteer Sheila Carter added up the amounts. Renton’s senior firefighter, Al Koskovich, 60, drove the fire truck from Station 14 in south Renton to the food bank near Renton Municipal Airport. He was joined by Jarrod Olin, who has been with the force for just two weeks. Koskovich drove the fire truck as a volunteer for Fire District 40 in the early 1970s.

Firefighters to get new breathing units BY DEAN A. RADFORD
dradford@rentonreporter.com
It takes just 12 seconds for all the air in a Renton firefighter’s oxygen tank to discharge in an equipment failure. Seven times, that scenario has played out, six times in live-fire training exercises and once battling a car fire. Now, the city’s firefighters will get new self-contained breathing apparatus, after those failures put their lives at risk, says a deputy fire chief. The Renton City Council Monday night approved spending $402,000 for the new breathing equipment for the city’s 150 firefighters. The vote came without comment from council members, who had received demonstrations from Deputy Fire Chief Erik Wallgren describing how the failures occurred and the threats to firefighters they pose. The Northwest factory representative for the manufacturer, Mine Safety Appliance (MSA), based in Pennsylvania, spoke during audience comment before the vote. The representative, Brian Beyer, said “first and foremost� the safety of Renton’s firefighters is the company’s biggest concern. “We take it extremely serious,� he said of the concerns. “I also firmly believe that we have a very safe and reliable sys-

The first failure occurred in November 2008, the year the City of Renton purchased the selfcontained breathing equipment. In the intervening four years, the city worked with the manufacturer on solutions as the failures mounted. The city most recently tested a fix suggested by MSA using recruits at the Fire Training Academy in North Bend. There were three equipment failures, Wallgren said. “At that point, we said, ‘enough is

The breathing apparatus is a firefighter’s most important piece of safety equipment, said Wallgren, who oversees safety and support services for Renton Fire and Emergency Services Department. Wallgren said MSA told the city that the failures occurred because of operator error.

enough’,� said Wallgren. Wallgren described the incidents as “catastrophic failures� of the O ring between the high-pressure hose and the air cylinder. Beyer, the MSA representative, called such failures “very rare.� An evaluation was done of the different breathing equipment available; the city has opted to buy SCOTT Safety air packs, which are becoming the standard equipment for firefighters in South King County, Wallgren said. The city will buy 75 complete units, plus an additional 150 air cylinders and 150 face pieces, which are specifically fitted to a firefighter, for $402,000. The total cost is about $590,000, but SCOTT and Municipal Emergency Services Inc. offered the city a trade-in for the MSA apparatus worth about $188,000. The city has the money budgeted for the purchase, including about $200,000 that would have gone toward routine replacement of the MSA apparatus, Wallgren said. “Thank goodness I didn’t purchase that,� he said. The city now is preparing the specifications for the purchase and answering other questions. The order should be placed by the end of January, with delivery in February or March. “Even if we wanted them tomorrow, we couldn’t get them,� Wallgren said of the process to buy the new equipment.

Kudos to Ed Prince Kudos to Ed Prince for his endurance and triumph in the race for Renton City Council after being dropped by both the Police Guild and the Renton Reporter. The transgressions attributed to Ed Prince by the Police Guild were not greater than those of the police who also serve in a public capacity, even though they claim, “We are not trying to pass judgment on anyone.� The flip-flopping of the Renton Reporter in their support for Ed Prince in the election was optional, but they are duty bound to report fair and balanced news. Thus, the Renton Reporter’s failure to report Gov. Chris Gregoire’s appointment of Edward O. Prince as the Executive Director of the Commission on African American Affairs was blatantly unfair and unbalanced. The commission covers the entire state of Washington and supports a variety of issues relevant to people of any race and ethnicity, which by itself is newsworthy. That, coupled with the fact that Ed Prince was the front runner in the race for Renton City Council (which he won), and a resident should have sparked sufficient pride for front page, headline coverage by the Renton Reporter.
Beatrice Clark, Renton
State’s budget is a moral document that needs to meet our human needs Our governor and state legislators are faced with the difficult task of preparing a balanced budget and are calling for extreme cuts in government services to match the income shortfall created by these tough economic times. There are some services, like public safety, that our tax dollars must support. Services to victims of sexual assault and domestic violence are part of our public safety network and benefit all of us. Community organizations which help sexual assault victims, such as King County Sexual Assault Resource Center (KCSARC) have a long history of providing services that increase public safety and save lives. Yet, the governor’s budget proposes a 20 percent reduction to state funding for sexual assault and domestic violence programs. Do we want to live in a community, a state, which fails to meet these critical safety needs of our citizens? What does this say about our care and concern for our neighbors; if therapy and legal advocacy services for these victims of crime are not available? What if they were not available for your loved one? Sixty-three percent of the victims of sexual assault and abuse KCSARC helps are under the age 18. There has never been a greater need for services, and even with current funding, KCSARC cannot assist all those who need help. Criminal sexual assault cases in King County now take 18-24 months to be resolved (up from previously 12-18 months). This greatly increases the strain on victims and families. Sexual assault and domestic violence services are a critical element in public safety. Mary Ellen Stone, executive director of KCSARC observes, “Without a legal advocacy services, victims are Marvin Eckfeldt

“Does the state have a paramount financial obligation to provide social services?�
COMMENTARY
Question of the week:
ities are creatures of the state. Renton and others must do the state’s bidding. They have no choice, even if it costs them a lot of money. The state for decades has told cities to annex urban areas on their borders, the theory being that cities are best equipped to serve lots of people. That helps keep rural areas rural and eases the need for far-flung government services. Those are all worthwhile goals; all levels of government share the responsibility to meet them. This partnership has worked, as long as the state was willing to help pay to put its growth-management laws into practice. That has changed, and for some cities it could feel like a betrayal. The Growth Management Act is, perhaps, the largest unfunded mandate of them all. To help balance her hemorrhaging budget, Gov. Chris Gregoire is proposing to drastically change how the state helps pay for the transition costs of newly annexed areas. It could cost Renton millions of dollars the city never thought it would have to replace. Loss of those funds could threaten the city’s ability to annex West Hill, an area much deserving of a more benevolent government. Benson Hill/Cascade residents are already benefitting from improved services. Ask them. But those services could degrade in that area, along with the rest of the city. That left the Renton City Council scurrying to change the date of the West Hill annexation vote by almost a year. The legislature must honor the state’s commitment, especially when at stake is the most efficient way to provide government services to large urban areas. This is a smart use of our tax dollars, not another special interest protecting its ox.
less likely to participate in the criminal justice system and offenders are less likely to face prosecution.â€? We know that untreated victims face huge hurdles in their future. A recent Washington state survey reported that 100 percent of women who had multiple sexual assaults as adults had been victimized as children. Problems with school performance, drug and alcohol abuse, depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and suicide are often results of untreated sexual assault. Treatment and healing are critical. Who will be there for victims if our agencies are starved for funding? I have lived and worked in South King County for 44 years. King County Sexual Assault Resource Center has delivered quality services to victims of sexual assault for 35 of those years. Their record is outstanding and nationally recognized. Yet their service is in jeopardy and under threat. Here are some things you can do: t $BMM XSJUF ZPVS 0MZNQJB FMFDUFE PÄ?

Teen stabbed, keeps mum This week’s‌
ALERT
Police Blotter
BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
A 17-year-old Renton boy was stabbed on Nov. 18. Police found the victim sitting on the curb outside of a convenience store in the 17600 block of 108th Avenue Southeast in Renton. He had a stab wound to his left cheek and blood was streaming down his left arm and neck. His jacket was also soaked with blood. When officers asked him who stabbed him, the boy replied, “The devil.� He was completely uncooperative and would not give any details regarding the incident or who stabbed him. Police asked a pan-handler if he witnessed anything and he said that the boy approached him from the east and was already bleeding. Renton Fire transported the boy to Valley Medical Center for treatment. While checking the area, police were contacted by an anonymous person who claimed there was a fight on Southeast Carr Road. The victim who was getting assaulted ran east and entered a silver car, the person said. That car was parked in front of the officers and they went to investigate. They found a passenger inside who appeared to have been in a fight. Officers were unsure if the incident was in retaliation for the previous fight. Police contacted the victim in the hospital, but he was still unwilling to give a positive identification.
Wig-stealing thief attacks worker A wig-stealing woman attacked a
beauty store worker on Nov. 19. The woman came into the Park Ave Beauty Supply store, 314 Park Ave. N., around 1 p.m. and placed a wig in her jacket. When a store worker requested the merchandise back, the woman refused and began pushing and hitting the man. This caused the 50-year-old man abrasions and scratches on his face. A witness tried to help the store employee. They were able to get the wig back from the suspect, but she fled on foot, headed west on North Fourth Street. The suspect is described as a black female, 23-24 years old, approximately 5-foot-3-inches tall, weighing 150 to 160 pounds. She was wearing a black puffy jacket over a red hooded sweatshirt, jeans and tennis shoes. She also had her hair in braids. The 50-year-old man was treated at the scene for his minor injuries.
Two men hurt in brawl at house Two men are treated and released from the hospital after a brawl broke out at a house party on Nov. 19. Police talked with about 16 people at a residence in 5300 block of Northeast Second Street where the incident occurred about 11 p.m. When police arrived nearly 35 people exited the house and were ordered to sit down on the sidewalk, while officers sorted out
what happened. A sweep of the house revealed blood splatter on walls and the carpet. There was a broken vase on the ground with shards of glass. Two men had head lacerations. The fight with multiple people erupted apparently after a verbal argument and someone trying to shake someone else’s hand. Both groups of people involved blamed the other and police were not able to determine who threw the first punch. The two men who were transported to Valley Medical Center, were given stitches and their injuries were not life-threatening.
Wife pushes husband from residence Police witnessed a domestic violence dispute on Nov. 21. When police arrived at a residence in the 400 block of Taylor Avenue Northwest, they observed a 31-year-old male being pushed out of the residence by his wife. The incident took place at 1:17 a.m. The man had a large kitchen knife in one of his hands that he quickly threw in the bushes upon seeing police. When questioned he explained he had been in an argument with his wife over infidelity issues and asked to take the knife from her because she was using it in the kitchen. At some point the argument turned physical and the 36-yearold woman scratched, slapped and pushed her husband. Police arrested the woman for investigation of fourth degree assault.

Fairwood sees the design of library update BY TRACEY COMPTON traceycompton@rentonreporter.com
King County Library System staff and Schacht Aslani Architects introduced community members to their vision for the expansion of Fairwood Library, at a forum last week. Attendees got to view the architectural team’s concepts for what it hopes will be a more functional space that is adaptable over the long term. The plan is to expand the 15,000-square-foot library, built in the 1980s, to 20,000 square feet. Construction is anticipated to begin in early spring 2013. Schacht Aslani Architects is in the schematic design phase of the process, putting the ideas they have collected and researched to actual renderings and plans. A key aspect of their design features include an automated book drop operation in the space of the current large meeting room at the entrance of the library. That meeting room would be incorporated elsewhere in the library and used as a multi-functional space. The design also features sustainable aspects, additional windows, new landscaping, new roofing, a new entry plaza,
Schact Aslani Architects’ conceptual design for the new Fairwood Library expansion that will add 5,000 square feet to the current space. Construction is scheduled to begin in spring of 2013. SUBMITTED expanded children’s area, dedicated study rooms, increased window areas and an improved teen area. A good-sized crowd filled half the meeting room for the presentation. Reactions from those in attendance to the concepts presented were mostly positive, with some mixed reviews on the areas designated for certain functions like the teen area versus the computer area. A point raised by an audience member noted the noise level generated from the teen area would disrupt the com-

puter area in one of the designs. Another person pointed out that locating the children’s section to a far corner would create noise as children passed through the rest of the library to get there. Some joked repeatedly that the architects should locate the kids’ sections outside and across the street, which drew laughs from the adult crowd. Angelina Benedetti, KCLS staff, thought these comments were humorous but reflective of Fairwood Library’s unique situation. She used the library as a teenager and currently experiences it as the library cluster manager. “It’s true then and it’s true now that one of the biggest uses of this library is by students,” Benedetti said. She described the weeknights in Fairwood Library as “a mob scene of kids.” Fairwood is one of the busiest tutoring libraries for KCLS’ Study Zone Program. The library is also one of the busiest in the system. “We need the space,” said Benedetti. “You know it was funny when they were talking about, you know, put the kids outside. Well, they need a place to come and this is where they come.” Library user Kelly Luebstorf took issue with the amount of space dedicated to programming areas in the presented designs. He thought the architects did a “fairly decent” study of the current library, but there is room for changes. He directed questions at Bill Ptacek, KCLS director, and later said, “I feel that we might be losing sight of what a library is for is to have circulation available to the public here.” Luebstorf was somewhat satisfied but put off by Ptacek’s explanation that a lot of books are no longer in print and not as much space is needed for actual books. Ptacek explained the growing trend of e-Books and the effects they have on the library’s physical book collection. “We’re pretty confident that the array of space allocation that we have should work pretty well,” Ptacek said.

Renton faces ‘significant change’ in how it pays for services [ WEST HILL from page 1] nexed areas also hangs over the Benson Hill/Cascade area, which annexed in 2008. The council’s vote came after public comment and a discussion by council members about the financial pitfalls of annexing West Hill. Cheryl Scheuerman has lived in Renton for 26 years; she has been the general manager of the Skyway Water and Sewer District for 17 years and is involved in West Hill community affairs. The West Hill business community supports the annexation, she said. “I would ask you that in your reconsideration of the matter delay the vote if you must, but please don’t kill it,� she said, adding that as a resident of Renton, she believes that West Hill belongs in the city. She also asked that the city reaf-
firm its commitment to work with the state, the county and others to close the gaps in funding so that Renton can provide services to West Hill. Council member Greg Taylor cast the lone no vote. He wanted to still give residents a chance to make their wishes known about annexing to Renton. But others cautioned that without resolution of the sales-tax issue, West Hill residents don’t have a key piece of information they need to vote. Jay Covington, the city’s chief administrative officer, said the potential loss of the sales-tax credit is a “significant change� that would affect how the city pays for services on West Hill. And, potentially, the city could have to backfill the state money used to help pay for services on Benson Hill. Gregoire considered eliminating the sales-tax credit entirely in
an initial version of her supplemental budget, starting on Feb. 1. That would have saved about $17.8 million statewide. But that idea was dropped. In Renton eliminating the credit entirely would have meant an additional budget gap of $1.4 million for 2012 and $2.1 million per year starting in 2013 for the Benson Hill annexation alone. Gregoire is looking at two ways to reduce the state’s loss of sales tax that now goes to cities to help fill a $2 billion hole in the state’s budget. One way is to eliminate the sales-tax credit for future annexations, such as West Hill. The second way is to reduce the sales-tax credit for already-annexed areas, such as Benson Hill. The state had committed to providing the credit for 10 years after an area annexes. In the case of West Hill, the sales-tax credit amounts to more
than $2 million year a year. Without that credit, the estimated operating deficit in West Hill grows to more than $4 million. In the case of Benson Hill, the city would lose $95,000 in 2012 (the reduction would go into effect on July 1) and $190,000 a year for the rest of the 10 years. City officials have spent the last several months trying to figure out how to pay for a West Hill annexation from numerous local, state and federal sources. “The city’s most recent financial analysis of the area indicates that it will cost much more to provide services to the West Hill area than revenues from the area will generate,� Alex Pietsch, the administrator of the city’s Department of Community and Economic Development, wrote in a staff report to the City Council. The sales-tax credit has been critical to helping Renton and
other suburban cities pay for services in newly annexed areas. All would need to figure out how to replace any loss of state revenue, which could affect services elsewhere in a city. Pietsch indicated in his staff report that city officials have received assurances from the city’s legislative delegation and others in the Legislature that they would work to restore the funding. But it’s uncertain whether those efforts would prove successful before the Feb. 14 vote, he wrote. The King County Council had yet to formally place the annexation issue on the Feb. 14 ballot. The Renton City Council had until Thursday to let the County Council know it had changed its mind before the next County Council meeting on Monday.

The Metropolitan King County Council recently honored Brittney Henry, Miss Washington 2011, for her work with low-income school children. “I am very proud to present Miss Britney Henry with this recognition, not only for her pageantry talents, but also for her work as an advocate for low income children,� said council member Julia Patterson of Seatac, the sponsor of the recognition. “It’s not every day you see such a young individual working so hard to break the cycle of poverty and advocating for the success of Washington children.� The Miss Washington pageant is held in Renton. Brotherton Cadillac Buick GMC, a Renton car dealership, is the primary sponsor. Raised by a single mother, Henry of Puyallup was one the first members of her family to attend college. She began competing in pageants four years ago as a way to help her pay for tuition, and since then, has been awarded over $25,000 in scholarship assistance and multiple pageant titles, according to a King County news release. Henry was crowned Miss Washington at the 2011 Miss Washington Ceremony on July 2 at Lindbergh High School. Her talent in the pageant was the fiddle, which she had been using to help raise money for her college tuition by playing it at the Pike Place Market after graduating high school. Since she understands the challenges facing low-income children, Henry’s pageant platform was “Promoting Higher Education for Low Income Families.� Henry is an active volunteer for various Washington State nonprofit organizations, including her work as an adviser, motivational speaker and fundraiser for the Northwest Learning and Achievement Group. The Northwest Learning and Achievement Group is a Washington State non-profit focused on helping underrepresented students obtain higher education. Henry thanked the County Council for the recognition and said the challenges she faced growing up are no different than the challenges that “40,000 low-income children in Washington State are facing today.� “We need to continue to support low-income students, so they will realize that they can obtain higher education,� said Henry.

Volunteers talked up the imminent entrance of Santa’s grand fire truck, which came with the help of Lt. Rick Lacock, Zach Hart and Christian Mack. Kayla Baldwin, 12, enjoyed dancing to the music of the Harambee band. She said she attended because she really loves Christmas. Tim Williams, recreation director for the City of Renton, was also on hand. This was his second year supervising the tree lighting and he noted that the event is “always so well organized.� The $7,000 budget allowed every tree in the front of the Piazza to be lit.

Honey Dew Elementary to reopen for K-5 grades BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
The Renton School Board voted last week to move forward with plans to open Honey Dew Elementary next year as a full kindergarten through fifth grade school. The unanimous decision will alleviate crowded schools that are at or over capacity, but School Board members and the district superintendent felt overcrowding wasn’t entirely addressed.
“But, some of our schools are at capacity and we have to have kids transported to a school that’s close,” said Mary Alice Heuschel, Renton superintendent. “We’re not such a huge district, but it’s still not their neighborhood school, just because of capacity. And so this will alleviate some of that, but again not fix all of the issues because we have some real crowded areas of our population.” Heuschel was excited the School Board decided to move forward. The school
district has planned the reopening of Honey Dew for five years, but until now it didn’t make sense financially to open it. Opening the school has hinged on enrollment numbers. Susan Mather, the district’s chief academic officer, presented the five-year growth plan for Renton’s elementary schools to the board. She noted that elementary schools are projected to grow by 120 students across the district next year. Many of the elementary schools are over their 100 percent ideal capacity, she said. “Ideally you want capacity of buildings at about 90 percent because when kids move in, you want them to be able to go to their home school,” Heuschel said later. The average growth in the district is 157 students a year. Even with the proposed boundary changes that would come with opening Honey Dew, there’s not going to be a lot of empty space across the district, Mather said.
Board member Pam Teal pointed out it is definitely time to open Honey Dew, but the capacity issue isn’t fixed. Board member Todd Franceschina asked how opening Honey Dew would affect the budget. Heuschel said enrollment generates the dollars for opening the school. Even with Gov. Chris Gregoire’s proposed budget cuts to K-12 education, the opening is still feasible, Heuschel explained. “So regardless of what the cuts are, there’s an allocation formula from the state based on the number of students that you have,” she said. “And the opening of the school is strictly based on enrollment and space.” The district has a huge “bubble” in first grade and kindergarten in the Highlands. Currently Honey Dew has all the kindergarten classes from Highlands Elementary and the first graders fill the remaining classrooms at Highlands. As the board moves forward, there will be fairly minor changes to the boundary plans, Heuschel said.

Kindergarten ‘key’ to later learning the proposal they might have to pay $300 a year like some currently pay in the Renton School District. Last year the district had to make the same cut in schools that aren’t low-income. Kindergarten is extremely important to have children ready for all the grades to come, said Randy Matheson, district spokesperson. He cites research that says kindergarten and pre-school programs better prepare young children for an education all the way through high school. “We would love to provide all-day kindergarten for every student at every school free of charge,� Matheson said, but it seems that isn’t possible anymore. Right now, the governor’s proposal has even fully funded kindergarten at low-income schools on the table for a possible cut. Gregoire has also proposed cutting the number of school days from 180 to funding only 176 days. Mattheson called that idea troubling because it reduces the amount of days kids are in the classroom. The Renton School District can continue offering 180 days, but it would have to find the money in its budget to do so. For example in the past, instead of taking the proposed teachers’ salary cuts, the district has found the funds by cutting administration and staff positions away from the classroom. It hasn’t filled retired staff ’s positions and has spread those responsibilities to other staff. There could also be a reduction in the health-care allocation the district gets from
the state with what’s been proposed. The district’s budget has been cut by $20 million for the last four years and the district has tried to keep the impact of those cuts away from students. In February, voters will get the chance to vote in support of Renton schools and their future endeavors. There are three measures on the Feb. 14 mail-in election ballot. The Education Maintenance and Operations Replacement Levy, the Technology Levy and the Building a Lifetime of Learning School Improvement Bond are all on the ballot. The district hopes to alleviate overcrowding in its junior high schools with the construction of a new middle school. McKnight Middle School is the biggest junior high in the state and Dimmitt and Nelson are also big, said Matheson. If the measure doesn’t pass, the district can’t build new schools. The district would have to fire a bunch of teachers and classrooms would double up if the maintenance and operations levy doesn’t pass, Matheson said. And the district would be unable to upgrade technology across schools if that levy also did not pass. The Renton School District hasn’t had a levy failure in 20 years. “We only go out to voters to ask for continued support because we’re doing good things and we want that to continue,� said Matheson. Thirty cents of every dollar the district spends comes from local tax payers, which is why the maintenance and operations levy on the February ballot is so important, he said.

Zena L. Cochran
Zena L. Cochran died peacefully on December 1, 2011 at Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland, WA. She was predeceased by her husband, Doyce E. Cochran, in 2000. Her brother Jim died in 1984. Zena is survived by her sister, Olympe “Babe� Toman, numerous nieces and nephews, and her goddaughter, Barbara Silverman. Zena was born on July 24, 1915. She lived all her life in Washington State except for 28 years in Alaska. She graduated with honors from Renton High School in 1933 and from Metropolitan Business College of Seattle in 1934. She loved sports, especially tennis and skiing. Zena dearly loved Alaska, and had many memorable experiences there.While working in Seattle in 1944, she was recruited as a civilian employee under the umbrella of the U.S. Air Force and assigned to Alaskan Air Command near Anchorage. After the war she moved to Anchorage. Shortly thereafter she was asked to join a small team of doctors and nurses to document a nutrition survey of Eskimo villages above the Arctic Circle.The survey was sponsored by the Territorial Department of Health and the New York Museum of Natural History. It was productive as it helped determine the cause of new medical problems amongst the Natives. On a trip to Seattle in November 1947 Zena was one of 17 survivors (9 were killed) in the first fatal airplane crash at the Seattle-Tacoma airport. In 1956, she met and married her beloved husband. They both survived the disastrous earthquake of 1964 which devastated so much of southcentral Alaska. In 1972 Doyce retired and they moved to Renton, WA to be close to Zena’s mother. Zena was an active member of the Renton High Old Timers Association and the Rose Turner Guild of Valley Medical Center. Private interment next to her husband will be at Tahoma National Cemetery.

not only is Boeing guaranteeing it will build the 737 MAX in Renton, but the P-8A Poseidon is staying and the company will continue to “build out� the Next Generation 737. “This is going to increase the footprint of aerospace work here in Washington state,� he said. Boeing has already made major capital improvements to the Renton plant to accommodate the rate increase for the Next Generation 737, he said, and with contract ratification, Boeing will start making capital improvements immediately to accommodate the 737 MAX. That could mean another production line, he said. The company’s goal is to increase production to build 60 of the world’s most-popular jetliner every month. Although members had asked questions and raised concerns, a Machinist spokesman said before the vote ratification was anticipated.

“Our sense is that the contract extension will be ratified, based on what business representatives and stewards are reporting from the factories,� said the spokesman, Bryan Corliss. Those concerns are mostly about pay and benefits, including retirement, health and incentive pay, Corliss said. A Boeing spokesman, Tim Healy, said Tuesday the company was “cautiously optimistic� Machinists would approve the contract, based on “the good things� it was hearing from the union. “They know their members best,� he said. “They are feeling optimistic. That makes us feel optimistic.� Healy couldn’t give any specifics about what investments Boeing would make to prepare to build the next member of the 737 family and continue its production ramp-up. Boeing reached a milestone earlier this week when it reached 35 planes a month. Boeing will increase the 737 rate to 38 airplanes a month in the second quarter of 2013 and to 42 airplanes a month in the first half of 2014. The City of Renton has already approved Boeing’s ramp-up improvements and is ready to work with Boeing on what it needs to build the 737 MAX, say city officials who meet regularly with Boeing counterparts. Those talks include space needs, use of the Renton Municipal Airport and transportation issues. The Renton City Council Monday night adopted a resolution congratulating Boeing and the Machinists for agreeing to a tentative contract and expressing support for all efforts to strengthen the aerospace industry in Washington state. “The city confirms its commitment to surpassing the company’s needs and expectations in Renton,� the resolution states.

ANSWER TO LAST WEEK’S PUZZLE
CROSSWORD PUZZLE
Passengers heading in and out of Sea-Tac Airport this week may have noticed large gatherings of emergency vehicles underneath the Link light rail station and outside the exit to the main terminal garage. This is be part of annual emergency rescue training exercises for south Puget Sound firefighters. No traffic impacts are expected however, this will be a visual distraction for people heading into and out of the airport, according to the Port of Seattle. The port stresses that these exercises are drills, not real emergencies. The exercises 7 a.m.-1 p.m. conclude Friday, Dec. 9. Multiple emergency response vehicles from agencies throughout the area will be at the site each day.

Are you ready for some swimming? BY ADAM MCFADDEN
amcfadden@rentonreporter.com
LINDBERGH GYMNASTICS BEATS KENNEDY, EVERGREEN The Lindbergh gymnastics team took down Kennedy Catholic and Evergreen Tuesday. The Eagles scored 133.1 points, Kennedy 110.35 and Evergreen 94.1. Charlotte Dittmar, of Kennedy and also a Renton resident, won the all-around with a score of 31.9. Dittmar won the bars (6.5), beam (8.8) and floor (8.3), while placing third on the vault (8.3). Lindbergh’s Jenna Louie took second, at 29.55. Louie finished second in the vault (8.35), bars (6.5) and beam (7.5), plus third in the floor (7.2).

The Renton boys swim and dive team comes into this season with 23 swimmers, the school’s biggest team in 10 years. However, with 10 of those swimmers being seniors, Renton coach Diane Pavelin can’t help but look forward a little bit. “When you look at the fact that our senior class is scoring major points and is our most versatile group, too, it could be a long season next year,” Pavelin said. But before the Indians get to that SEASON point, Pavelin gets to enjoy her strong team this season. The Indians are riding momentum from last year’s fifth-place finish at districts and 12th-place finish at state. The group starts with senior Steve Sholdra, who’s committed to attend and swim for Fordham University next season. Sholdra achieved Ironman status last year by qualifying for state in every event, and his accomplishments went far beyond that. Sholdra won a 2A state title in the 500 freestyle. His time of four minutes, 35.66 seconds smashed the previous 2A state record (4:59.96) and earned him AllAmerican consideration. Sholdra also took fifth in the 100 breast. Other key returners for Renton include seniors Aslan DaVault,

CHAD COLEMAN, Reporter Newspapers Adriel Paine and Tyler Pascual. All qualified for districts last season in individual events and swam at state in relays. A newcomer to watch is freshman Dan Pham. Pavelin is excited about his potential, though she’s not sure what to expect just yet. “Until we put him in a race, I have no idea how good he really is,” she said. The team’s biggest loss was Jeremy Odden. Odden placed 13th at state in the 100 back and also held down an important spot on the team’s 200-medley relay state team. “It really puts a crimp in the medley,” Pavelin said. “We just don’t have another backstroker to make up for that loss.”
Even so, Pavelin expects Renton to perform its best outside of dual meets, when the team’s heavy tilt of freestyle sprinters and lack of odd stroke swimmers won’t matter as much. Having Sholdra’s versatility will also help. “Steve can do anything and everything,” Pavelin said. After Sholdra and the seniors graduate, Pavelin is hoping she can bring up the next wave to lead the Indians. “The seniors, aside from Steve and Aslan, started off as freshmen with no experience,” she said. “So we’ve sort of homegrown them. If that trend holds true, then hopefully we can homegrown the next group.”
Lindbergh Lindbergh sophomores Andrew Franco-Munoz and A.J. Lim, are excited for another chance to prove what they can do. “The state meet we swam wasn’t exactly what we were looking for, so they’ve got a little redemption in the backs of their minds,” said Lindbergh swim and dive coach Roger Miron. The Eagles have 29 swimmers this season, the biggest Miron has ever had in his 17 years at the school. Lindbergh completed a huge turnaround last season, going from 1-6 two seasons ago to a 5-2 team that placed second at districts [ more SWIM & DIVE page 19 ]

the Patriots is senior Luke Duschl. Duschl finished sixth in the 100 back and eighth in the 200 IM at state. Senior captain Kevin Hays also played a key role in Liberty’s state relays.

last season. The team sent 10 swimmers to state, but Miron expects an even better performance at state this year. Franco-Munoz won a district title and broke the district meet record in the 50 freestyle. At state, he missed the finals by 0.11 seconds and finished 11th. He also placed 13th in the 100 free at state. Lim took 15th in the 100 fly and 17th in the 200 IM at state. “It’s an exciting time for them,� Miron said. “They saw a lot of potential last year. They know what they’re capable of doing and they know that they’ve got a lot of work ahead of them. We’re hoping to see good things.� Other swimmers to watch are senior Adrian Franco-Munoz, senior Connor Guhlke, junior Aaron Jacobsen, senior Sam Seid, sophomore Blake Tibbitts and junior diver Tanner Zornes. All competed in districts, while Adrian Franco-Munoz, Guhlke, Jacobsen and Seid swam at state. Miron said the Eagles should be competitive against traditional league power Kennedy Catholic this season, thanks to the larger numbers. “They have more top-end talent, but we’re hoping our depth will make it a lot closer than last year,� he said. “It’s kind of fun to have that kind of flexibility.� Placing second at districts last season earned the Eagles a trophy for the first time in Miron’s career at Lindbergh. He’s intent on not giving that up this year. “When you get a piece of hardware for the first time ever it’s pretty exciting,� he said. “We’re not looking to take a step back at the district level. If we’re solid enough and lucky enough to go after the number one team, then we’ll see.� Lindbergh beat Highline 124-52 Tuesday. The Eagles won nine events to Highline’s three.
Hazen In order to take the next step, it’s all about the relays for the Hazen swim and
dive team. “The formula to show well as a program is through development of pride and performance in relays,� said Hazen swim and dive coach Rick Wertman. “The big points are in relays. We want to have all the kids come around and want to win a spot on relays. That competition is the engine that drives the whole thing.� As a team, the Highlanders finished third at districts and 27th at state last season. Hazen’s 200-medley relay placed 23rd at state last year. The group returns seniors Blake Baxter and Andrew Le, but Wertman said incoming freshman Nolan Hoover should have a big impact as a backstroker. The Highlanders’ 200-free relay finished 20th at state and returns all four swimMORE mers with juniors Kyle Nelson, P.J. Warmenhoven and Chase Onstot, plus senior Alex Gayte. Hazen took 17th in the 400-free relay at state, with Onstot, Warmenhoven and sophomore Malcom Mitchell all returning. Onstot also made state in the 200 free, where he placed 11th, and the 500 free, where the took 10th. Nelson, Warmenhoven, Gayte, Mitchell, Baxter, Deven Crich, Chase Contrill, Ryder Ronk and Chris Foth also made districts in individual events. Wertman’s biggest challenge early in the season is logistics. As a new coach, it’s difficult to build a working relationship with 58 swimmers in a short period of time. However, having such a big team is a problem Wertman gladly takes on to have the depth needed for an elite program. “The broader the base, the higher the peak,� he said. “The challenge is to find those diamonds in the rough who will complement the club swimmers.� Wertman plans to mix and match with his relays liberally through the dual-meet season then work specifically on relay skills in the final weeks of the season. “You put your work in in the dual meets, in terms of learning how to compete,
