For three weeks the family of 12-year-old Alajawan Brown listened to the story in vivid detail of how their football-loving child had died, shot in the back on a warm evening in late April 2010. On Wednesday, whether 36-year-old Curtis Walker of Kent was the man who shot Alajawan was in the hands of a 12-person jury. Walker is charged with first-degree murder and illegal possession of a firearm; he’s a convicted felon. They had to sort out which testimony – and which witnesses – were the most credible. Throughout the trial, stories changed from what initially was told to investigators. In her closing arguments, senior deputy prosecuting attorney Kristin Richardson repeatedly turned to changes in the stories of Walker and his wife Shaleese. Most damning, in For updates on story Richardson’s view, was rentonreporter.com Walker’s admission that he switched cars near the 7-11 store where Alajawan was shot, thus placing him at the scene. He had told investigators he didn’t switch cars until farther away on Martin Luther King Jr. Way. Alajawan died in the 7-11 parking lot. Richardson described how Walker, legs apart in a shooting stance, raised a .38 revolver and fired two shots, but not before Alajawan looked at him. “Alajawan knew he was going to die, so he turned and ran,” Richardson said. But one of Walker’s attorney, Jerry Stimmel, again made the defense’s contention that it was actually Rodrigues Rabin, who had come to the nearby Cedar Village Apartments with Walker, who shot Alajawan. Walker, Rabun and Johnathan Jackson were at the apartments, where a gun battle erupted between members of the Bloods and Crips gangs. Jackson was shot. Sheriff Sue Rahr was at the closing arguments, sitting next to Alajawan’s mother, Ayanna. “I couldn’t have written a more heart-breaking story,” Rahr said. That April 29 was a “big day” for Alajawan, she said. He had saved up enough money for new football cleats; he was on his way home fromWalmart.

Mayor Denis Law speaks at the groundbreaking Tuesday of a project that will help create a new east-west corridor across south Renton and provide access to Sound Transit’s Sounder station. CHARLES CORTES, Renton Reporter
New east-west corridor in works Local, regional and state leaders broke ground Tuesday on a critical step toward creating a new east-west route across south Renton and a connection to an improved Sounder station. The project is the extension of Southwest 27th Street/Strander Boulevard under the Burlington Northern Santa Fe tracks. The new east-west route also will provide an alternate route to Interstate 405 between Interstate 5 and State Route 167. It’s also an effort to promote transit use by creating the connection to Sound Transit’s Sounder station in Tukwila. “We’re excited about what this enhanced access to transit will do to help spark fur-
ther development in the Valley, including here at Longacres,� said Mayor Denis Law. “Once the full build-out is completed, we will have a new corridor for freight, which is critical to so many businesses in the Green River Valley, the largest industrial area in Washington state.� Julia Patterson, Sound Transit Board vice chair and County Council member, said the “new connection between Renton and Tukwila will provide convenient commuter access to Sound Transit’s permanent Tukwila Sounder Station, which, when complete, will serve nearly 400 transit users a day-plus King County Metro’s RapidRide F line.�

Public to hear about library uses The community may soon get an answer to the future of the downtown Liberty Park Library building. Renton City Council voted to move the current library at Liberty Park to a new location on Third Avenue this past summer. A steering committee has been
working on coming up with a new use for the building since this fall. The committee and City of Renton staff will hold an open house for the public to share their ideas and comments on three possible uses for the building from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., Feb. 15.
The meeting will be held at the Renton Community Center, Room A, 1715 Southeast Maple Valley Highway in Renton. The Liberty Park Library Building could become an environmental interpretative center, arts/ cultural center or a “third place”
community gathering space. Members of the community are also being asked to respond to a short online survey to provide their feedback and opinions of the library building. The survey is available at www. rentonwa.gov from Feb. 10 to 21.

ANTICIPATING THE WORST According to a recent AARP poll, only 36% of Americans have a living will, a document that outlines certain procedures that a person does or does not want to have performed under certain circumstances. For instance, some people do not want feeding tubes or respirators used to prolong their lives. A living will makes such preferences known in the event a person cannot communicate his or her desires. Moreover, since living wills cannot anticipate every circumstance, every one is urged to give someone he or she trusts “durable power of attorney for health care.” Doing so gives that person, known as the health-care proxy, the right to make medical decisions on behalf of the incapacitated person who gave the authority. Thinking of things like durable power of attorney and living wills can be uncomfortable. But it’s also a vital part of planning for your future and the future wellbeing of your loved ones. I provide thoughtful and compassionate counsel for all aspects of estate planning, including writing living wills. Protect yourself and your loved ones today and call (425) 227-8700 to schedule an initial appointment at one of my offices, which are conveniently located in Renton and Kent.

73 found homeless during annual count BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
The annual One Night Count in the early morning hours of Jan. 27 found 73 homeless individuals in Renton, almost identical to last year’s number. The 73 included 15 men and 2 women, while the gender of the rest wasn’t known. The volunteers were not to disturb the individuals, just observe. No children under 18 were found; last year, one child was counted. Last year 71 homeless individuals were counted. Countywide, 2,594 homeless were counted, a 6 percent increase over last year that also includes new areas
added to the count. In Seattle 1,898 homeless individuals were counted. Kent had the largest number of homeless – 104 – of the four South King County cities in the count. This is the 32nd year for the countywide count. It’s coordinated by the Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness. The idea is to document how many lack basic shelter, according to the coalition. “There’s another reason for the count,� said Alison Eisinger, count organizer and coalition executive director, in a news release. “When hundreds of people see their
neighbors sleeping on cardboard or riding buses to keep warm, they are shocked and saddened. We want them to be inspired to urge their local and state officials to address these needs with resources.� Most of the homeless found in Renton – 55 – were observed living in cars and trucks. Others were found in much lesser numbers in structures, under roadways, doorways, alleys, parks and even in the bushes. Three people were simply walking around. Organizers point out the number of people living without shelter is undercounted, because only a portion of the county is included and many homeless
live in hard-to-reach areas. “The street count is only a snapshot, which can be influenced by anumber of factors,� said Bill Block, director of the Committee to End Homeless, which implements the Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness in King County. “We know without our prevention and housing programs, thousands more people would be on the streets. Even in the face of the recession, we know that our investments can reduce the number of people who are homeless - that happened last year and the year before,� he said. The count was conducted in 13 cities by about 800 volunteers.
$13.1 million available to provide housing More than 500 low-income, homeless households will move into stable housing or receive the services to maintain their housing with the help of $13.1 million in funding announced by King County. The money is the result of a coordinated effort by King County, the City
of Seattle, United Way of King County, the Seattle Housing Authority and Building Changes. “These funds will put a roof over the heads of chronically homeless individuals and families with long histories of homelessness, and help end the cycle of homelessness for hundreds of
households every year,� said King County Executive Dow Constantine in announcing the awards. Constantine serves as co-chair of the Committee to End Homelessness in King County Governing Board. The awards include countywide and in South King County:

Renton man jumped, beaten CRIME
This week’s‌
ALERT
Police Blotter
BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
A Renton man was jumped and beaten in the Renton Highlands on Jan. 13. Police caught up with the 23-year-old victim at about 7 p.m. at a residence in the 600 block of Shattuck Avenue South. The man was at a friend’s house in the Highlands when he got into an argument with three men. The man tried to leave the apartment and was jumped by the three men. They struck him in the face, head and nose, but he was eventually able to get away. He walked to The Landing shopping center and called his girlfriend to come pick him up. He arrived at home and the police were called. They observed the odor of intoxicants on the man’s breath and he appeared disoriented. The Renton Fire Department arrived and treated the man. Photos were taken of him for evidence. The man could not remember much of what happened to him.
Hit-run driver eludes police A hit and run driver eluded police on a high speed chase on Jan. 14. The hit and run occurred on State Route 167 at about 5 p.m. The victim was in pursuit of the suspect vehicle for a distance. Police caught up to the suspect at the intersection of Seventh Street. Police had to do a u-turn to follow the vehicle. Even though police were clearly following in marked cars with sirens blaring, the suspect continued to drive at speeds over 60 mph in a 40 mph zone. Eventually, the yellow Penske truck lost police by driving over a median and raised curb.
Would-be girl tries to extort man A person claiming to be a 15-year-old girl tried to extort money from a Renton man on Jan. 13. The 23-year-old man met the supposed girl, who claimed to be in New York, in a chat room. He then gave her his Facebook account name so she could “friend� him. Later that evening they corresponded and the girl said she was not really a 15-year-old girl. She instead demanded $200 to be paid to her via a Paypal account or she was going to expose the man for being a pedophile. The man was concerned about his personal information listed on his Facebook account. The woman sent the man a mock email she planned to send announcing his pedophile behavior. There was also another graphic description of the man writing about his sexual fantasy on his Facebook page. Out of fear the man said he sent the money to the person requesting it. He thought better of it several hours later and canceled his transaction and called the police. Police discovered the suspect was operating out of Europe with bank accounts originating from Ireland, England and Germany.

Woman reports her ex-boyfriend A Renton woman reported her violent ex-boyfriend to police on Jan. 14. The 29-year-old woman called police around 10:30 p.m. after her ex-boyfriend sent her a text message and turned up at her door. She lives on Union Avenue Northeast. She was visibly upset when police arrived. The woman said the man came to her door, rang the doorbell repeatedly and left. She said she had reason to fear him because he threatened to kill her in the past and killed her kitten in November. According to the woman, he also once took her key and phone, and wouldn’t let her leave after he choked then drug her across the floor by her hair. The Kent man had sent her seven to 10 text messages in the last two months making disparaging remarks about her. Because the text he sent her that night did not contain a threat, police filed the report for information purposes only.

Voting is under way for key school measures
T
he countywide turnout for this February’s Special Election is estimated at about 38 percent. That’s not bad, but we would sure like to see many more voters sending back their ballots to show resounding support for Renton’s schools. There are three measures, including two levies that replace existing ones. The all-important levy to pay for maintenance and and operations is before voters for the first time in four years. It’s critical that the district continues to receive these dollars to pay for everyday expenses. And the bond measure will pay for a much-needed new middle school that will ease overcrowding in the existing three middle schools. You should have received your mail ballots by now; if not get ahold of the elections office. And, to no surprise, we respectfully ask that you vote yes on the school measures.

Don’t balance the budget on backs of tribal culture I’m starting to wonder if the state’s budget problems mean it will no longer be able to co-manage natural resources with the treaty tribes. Even President Obama has said recently that the state’s budget crisis is a “huge problem.” Like most of state government, natural resources agencies are likely going to see a huge hit during this upcoming legislative session as the state seeks to fill its $2 billion budget gap. It’s sad to see state government backing away from the basic work of natural resources management, but there’s been at least one bright spot. The governor has wisely proposed a one-time transfer of $1.5 million from the state Department of Fish and Wildlife’s wildlife fund to protect salmon production at several hatcheries. We hope the Legislature will support her plan. Sport, commercial and tribal fishermen from the ocean to deep south Sound would all feel the effects of the lost hatchery production. Some say the transfer would be wrong because the funds come from hunting and recreational fishing license fees, but will be used to maintain production at hatcheries that also support commercial and tribal fisheries. I would remind those people that in 2010, treaty tribes in western Washington produced more than 30 million salmon and steelhead at their hatcheries. Those fish will be harvested by everyone, Indian and non-Indian. That’s because all hatcheries support all fisheries to some extent. That’s the way it should be, because the salmon is for everyone. Don’t ever let anyone tell you it’s not. Salmon production at state hatcheries in Billy Frank Jr.

COMMENTARY
Question of the week:
e would like to highlight an important open house in Renton on Feb. 15. That’s when the public will have a second chance to offer its ideas about possible uses for the former city library over the Cedar River. It’s now known as the Liberty Park Library Building. Everyone knows the history here. The library is now operated by the King County Library System, which along with the city is building a new library next to the downtown transit center. The current library is owned by the City of Renton and will continue to use it in some fashion. That’s where you come in. The open house 5 p.m.-7 p.m. at the Renton Community Center, 1715 Maple Valley Highway, is the perfect opportunity to help shape the future of the library. Three ideas seem to have risen to the top: t BO FOWJSPONFOUBM JOUFSQSFUJWF DFOUFS t BO BSUT BOE DVMUVSBM DFOUFS t B DPNNVOJUZ HBUIFSJOH TQBDF All those are people-driven uses and without a doubt would help connect the residents of Renton, just like a good book does or a well-told children’s story. What made the library iconic – its location over the river and a beloved gathering place for Renton – remain, even if its use no long contains shelves of books.
western Washington already has dropped sharply in the past decade from a high in 2001 of nearly 90 million fish. That figure could dip to less than 50 million if projected cuts become reality. Most hatcheries were built to make up for lost natural salmon production caused by lost and damaged habitat. If production at those hatcheries is reduced or eliminated, we all pay twice: once for the lost natural production and again for the lost hatchery production. It is important to remember that tribal and state co-management is not optional. It is required under U.S. v. Washington, (the Boldt Decision) and is key to international processes such as the U.S./Canada Pacific Salmon Treaty. Co-management also is required for implementation of agreements such as the Puget Sound Salmon Management Plan and the Hoh v. Baldrige Framework Management Plan, which form the basis of salmon management in western Washington. The state’s budget problems, combined with the ongoing loss of salmon habitat and the state’s inability to stop that trend, put tribal cultures and treaty-reserved rights at risk. The decline of wild salmon and degradation of their habitat already has restricted the ability of the tribes to exercise their treaty-reserved fishing rights. More cuts in hatchery production and state participation in co-management would further threaten those rights. The treaty tribes are committed to comanagement. We know that difficult decisions must be made during these tough economic times, but they should not come at the further expense of tribal cultures and treaty rights or the fish production that we all, both Indian and non-Indian, rely on.

Elected VMC board seeks outside counsel BY DENNIS BOX dbox@kentreporter.com
The Valley Medical Center Board of Commissioners met for the first time in 2012 on Jan. 16 and there were some clear changes and some things looked very similar. Dr. Paul Joos, elected in November after defeating Mary Alice Heuschel, was chosen as the president of the board. Commissioner Anthony Hemstad will be the vice president and Commissioner Sue Bowman will serve as secretary. Once the officers were selected, the board then approved hiring the Issaquah law firm Kenyon Disend to represent the commission. The resolution passed on a 3-2 vote with Hemstad, Dr. Aaron Heide and Joos voting yes while Bowman and Carolyn Parnell were in dissent. A second resolution was presented to hire Michael Mathias as an interim hospital superintendent. Currently the position is filled by Jeannine Grinnell. The board bylaws state it takes two meetings to pass the resolution to hire Mathias. “This is no aspersion whatsoever on Jeannine Grinnell, who is very professional and has done an excellent job on finances,”
King County’s Water and Land Resources Division (WLRD) is releasing the results of a new customer survey that explores the opinions of King County residents about rivers, how rivers are used and how they are managed. The survey results will be used to improve education about flood risk reduction projects, river hazards and river safety. The survey report is available at www. kingcounty.gov/rivers. King County used a local research firm last fall to conduct the 2011 River Management Telephone Survey, with a goal of using the feedback to improve river management and communication practices. The telephone survey is a representative sample of 703 residents, and results have a margin of error of 3.7 percent. An online survey was also done and collected 728 responses. For information about flooding in King County, visit www.kingcounty. gov/flood; for information about river safety in King County, visit www.kingcounty.gov/riversafety.
of the bonus program for instance, which potentially could influence the type of advice we get.” Parnell said she agreed with Bowman. “We have legal counsel. He’s cheap, his interests are not only of the hospital but the public and he has served us well. Any questions have been answered. As far as I’m concerned he is just fine. He’s here, he knows all about the hospital and how it runs.” Heide stated he was supporting the resolution. “I was threatened with a lawsuit if I were to continue speaking out about my beliefs for how this place should be run. . . . I approached David Smith with the issue and he said, ‘Because of my bias I cannot discuss this with you,’ and he handed it off to a different attorney. … I think we need independent counsel … based on this one example. He cannot represent us on an external lawsuit. We really truly need independent counsel.” Bowman questioned how the firm would be paid, since it was not added to the 2012 budget. “Where are you going to get the money to pay for legal counsel?” Bowman asked. Hemstad said, “We are an elected body and we have statutory ability. We can easily amend our budget.”
Bowman stated, “Any extra money has to come from the approval of the alliance board. ... We can’t approve this tonight.” Hemstad countered, “Of course we can approve this tonight. We are an elected body and we are not dictated to by any other group that is unelected.” Bowman said during a phone interview Tuesday she did not know prior to the meeting about the resolution to hire Kenyon Disend as the legal counsel for the board. She stated she supported the alliance between Valley and University of Washington Medicine. “I am hopeful we can all work together soon,” Bowman said. Hemstad said when reached by phone Tuesday, “All the steps we took at the last meeting were to re-establish the authority of the elected board. We have statutory oversight and responsibility and we should not have abdicated that.” Hemstad said the payment of the firm, which could be either hourly or by retainer, will be considered at the next meetings. The commissioner also stated changes to the bylaws will likely be presented at the next meetings.

Hemstad said. “The idea is we may need a wider array of staff support in the interim period on a wide variety of non-financial issues.” Mathias is an economist and served as the Maple Valley assistant city manager in 2007 when Hemstad was city manager. Prior to the vote hiring the Kenyon Disend law firm Hemstad stated, “for a long time we’ve needed legal counsel that reports directly to the board of commissioners, not through other staff. That gives us independent counsel.” Dr. Paul Joos Hemstad described Kenyon Disend as the “best municipal law firm in Washington state. They provide counsel to many different public institutions.” Bowman questioned the reason for hiring an attorney to represent the board stating, “We have legal counsel – Mr. (David) Smith.” Hemstad countered stating, “Yes and he reports through the CEO (Rich Roodman).

Alternative to ER opens in Kent BY SARAH KEHOE skehoe@kentreporter.com
A business hoping to redefine the urgent-care experience for patients and physicians opened in Kent Jan. 28. Doctors Express caters to patients who can’t be seen by their own physicians or don’t want to go to the emergency room. The goal of the business is to offer affordable, non-emergency treatment to anyone in need, thereby eliminating long waits associated with doctor’s office or emergency room visits. “What’s attractive about this place is that it’s a one-stop shop,� said Dr. David Platt. “People can come in here and get evaluated by
certified doctors, get X-rays and get their prescriptions.� This is the second location of Doctors Express in Washington state. Doctors Express was founded in Baltimore in 2005 by an emergency room physician and two business executives in Towson, Md, seeking a more efficient, affordable and personable system for urgent-care patients. Each franchise is independently owned and operated. “The plan is to keep opening more of these around the country,� said Dr. Marilyn Gibb, medical director. “The idea is for Doctors Express to become a nationally recognized franchise, so if you [ more DOCTORS page 10 ]

Gibbs: Express an efficient, low-cost solution [ DOCTORS from page 9 ] saw one in a different state, you’d know what it is and what service to expect.� The office in Kent is located at South 180th Street on West Valley Highway. Doctors Express features a main office, four treatment rooms and is equipped to treat about 60 patients each day. “Urgent care fills a void in the medical system, treating those cases, which do not require the resources and expense of a hospital emergency room,� Gibbs said. “Patients want
to be treated by experienced physicians without sitting around all day in a waiting room. We believe Doctors Express is an efficient, low-cost healthcare solution that will improve access to quality medical care. Every aspect of our business will center on patient/customer satisfaction.� There are two certified physicians and four medical assistants in the office. Gibbs has 25 years experience as an emergency-room physician, working at the emergency room at Valley Medical Center, while Platt was an internist for 10 years.
Valley Medical Center also offers urgentcare locations. “I wanted to come here because I believe Doctors Express has a great emphasis on compassion and service,� Platt said. “This means we are listening to our patients and taking the time to address their concerns. I think a lot of times patients feel doctors are just rushing through their times with them, but they won’t feel like that here.� Gibbs thought this opportunity would be a great transition from her hectic schedule at the hospital. “I love that I will have the chance to slow down and really take time with each patient,� she said. “I love being a doctor because it’s so satisfying to help others and there is a new challenge every day. You never know who might walk through the door and what help they need.�
Gibbs said the best part of having a Doctors Express is that emergency and hospital rooms won’t be as busy. “I would say that about 70 percent of the people that walked through the emergency room at Valley Medical Center didn’t need to be there,� she said. “Their injuries or conditions could have been easily treated at doctor’s offices. Many came because they didn’t have a doctor to go to or insurance coverage.� Doctors Express accepts most major insurance companies and treats lacerations repairs, fractures and sprains.They encourage patients with serious medical conditions such as stroke symptoms, passing out and crushing chest pain, to go to the emergency room. Doctors Express is a collaborative effort with other doctors and offices in the area. They will take on patients who can’t see their family doctors, then encourage them to follow up with their physician. “We don’t want to take any patients from their doctors,� Platt said. “We are simply here to fill a void for them.�

Another chance to get rid of debris King County residents, including many in Renton, have done a lot of cleaning up of trees and branches after the snow and ice storm. A total of 1,006 vehicles came to a free wood debris recycling event Jan. 28-29 at Russell Road Park, 24400 Russell Road in Kent, according to Kent officials. King County will host the recycling event again from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 4-5. The event is exclusively for wood debris from the recent storms. Stumps, logs and limbs no longer than 6 feet are allowed – no brush, leaves, grass clippings, sod or soil can be accepted. The event is open to all King County residents. People bringing wood debris are reminded to secure their loads. To help speed up the unloading process,

those hauling debris are asked to lay a tarp or plastic sheet under the material for easy removal. Waits were long at times last weekend. King County Solid Waste Division Director Kevin Kiernan said residents have several additional storm debris disposal options available, including curbside recycling (yard waste cart) and commercial recycling companies that charge a fee for their service, but may prove to be more convenient for some residents. The local commercial recycling companies include Rainier Wood Recycling in Covington and Cedar Grove Composing in Maple Valley Storm debris disposal information is available online at your.kingcounty.gov/ solidwaste/, or by calling the recycling hotline at 206-296-4466.

Supporters busy pushing for school measures BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
Efforts are in full gear to get the word out about the bond and levy measures for the Renton School District in the Feb. 14 special election. The district did not do a voter’s pamphlet this year or in 2008 because of the costly expense of sending it out to some 60,000 residences. Instead, the district has relied on the media, the Citizens for Renton Schools Committee and mailings to educate voters, said Randy Matheson, district spokesperson.
Matheson was at a Kennydale Neighborhood Association meeting Tuesday night to explain the measures. School district representatives have been present at meetings, large and small, since this past fall. The citizens campaign is still going on as it works to call a list of about 15,000 voters, Matheson said. The group is also doing election signs and Bob Bridge of Bob Bridge Toyota has committed to doing TV ads. The issue people are finding most interesting is the new middle school, said Matheson. Currently, there are 14 elementary schools in the district that funnel into three middle schools, creating overcrowd-

The new middle school will be built on the property of the old Hazelwood Elementary site in the Newcastle area, if the $97 million Building for a Lifetime of Learning School Construction Bond measure passes. “It seems like most people understand that the new levies are replacement levies,� said Matheson. The Education Maintenance and Operations Replacement Levy and the Technology Levy expire at the end of this year. Matheson is optimistic that the measures will be approved by voters. There hasn’t been a levy failure in a couple of decades, he said. The district and the citizens committee will continue to campaign through Feb. 13.
County expecting 38% turnout King County Elections has sent 186,500 ballots to voters in six districts participating in the Feb. 14 Special Election. The department expects voters to return nearly 71,000 of those ballots. “We project a turnout of 38 percent for this election,� said Elections Director Sherril Huff. “Special elections typically have a smaller turnout; however, the decisions being made address important issues in communities. We encourage voters to take the time to vote.� About 18,000 voters returned ballots in the first week of voting. Voters can return their ballots without postage to one of five ballot drop boxes located throughout the county until 8 p.m. on Election Day, Feb. 14. Or, they can return their ballots by mail using a 45-cent stamp. Mailed ballots must be postmarked by Feb. 14 at the latest. If you are a registered voter in a participating district and have not received your ballot by the end of the week, request a replacement ballot online or call Elections at 206296-VOTE (8683).

Dustin Ducuan wins Wilson fellowship One of Renton’s own has won a prestigious Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship for teaching. Dustin Dacuan is one of the 25 fellows in the Woodrow Wilson-Rockefeller Brothers Fund for Aspiring Teachers of Color for 2012. The fellows were chosen through a competitive national selection process. They will receive a $30,000 stipend to complete a master’s degree in education, preparation to teach in a high-need public school, support throughout a three-year teaching commitment and guidance toward teaching certification. Dacuan is a senior international studies major at the University of Washington. He is a researcher on immigration and education, a volunteer with the literacy project with the Paschal Sherman Indian School and a mentor and leader with the UW’s Dream Project. The Dream Project helps first-generation and low-income students navigate the college admissions process. Dacuan graduated from Renton High School in 2008. “The Foundation is pleased to add this impressive group of young and promising teachers to its national network of outstanding teachers and scholars,� said Bill Dandridge, program officer and director of the WW-RBF Fellowships for Aspiring Teachers of Color in a release.

He is one of the 500 UW students enrolled in the Dream Project course, Education 360, at the university. Many of the college mentors are pursuing degrees in education like Dacuan, but a lot of them also come from an array of majors. Although the Dream Project focuses on first generation, low-income, minority and sometimes English Language Learning students, it is not to be confused with the Dream Act. The latter is a proposal in Congress that would provide citizenship to those undocumented students who pursue higher education or military service. The Dream Project is currently at 16 high schools in Washington and the course exists at the UW Bothell campus and Colorado State University. And, it is successful. The project is changing the college-going population from 53 percent of their targeted group to 84 percent. This year will be a new challenge with Renton High School being the first to get assistance for the entire senior class. That decision to expand was a component of their saturation efforts with the Gates Foundation grant. “Programs are great, but really what makes this work is that it’s the people in it and the leadership within the University of Washington project that have been great,� said Damien Pattenaude, Renton’s principal. “And they’ve been critical to the success here and that was a big decision as to why we decided to expand.� Renton, along with Chief Sealth and Foster High schools, were originally picked by the Dream Project when it started. Schools were identified because they had a population with a higher percentage of underrepresented minority students and 50 percent with free or reduced school lunch. As part of the Gates grant, the project will be evalu-

Metro changes bus service The Metropolitan King County Council has adopted Metro Transit’s June 2012 transit service changes—the first service adjustments since the adoption of the county’s Transit Strategic Plan. The changes reflect the goals of the Strategic Plan by allocating service hours to higher-performing bus routes to address overcrowding, on-time performance, and adding service to underserved corridors with the goal of making the overall bus system more productive, according to a county press release. “These transit service reinvestments eliminate lesser-used transit routes in order to add service to highly used routes with unmet demand,� said Larry Phillips, chair of the council’s Transportation, Economy and Environment Committee. “King County leaders are working to make Metro as

“Adoption of these service changes upholds the council’s commitment to Metro’s regionally agreeable upon Strategic Plan,� said council member Patterson Julia Patterson. The adopted service changes reinvest more than 35,000 hours of service from lower-performing bus routes throughout the system, using those hours to bolster service on high ridership routes. This is the first step in the shifting of at least 100,000 service hours to address high priority needs in the transit system. This goal is part of the approach called for in the Strategic Plan for Public Transportation 2011-

For the second year in a row, Evergreen City Ballet is bringing the beloved children’s book “Fancy Nancy� to the stage. “Fancy Nancy: Bonjour Butterfly� opens at the theatre at Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue this month and at Evergreen City Ballet’s Black Box Theatre in Renton in March. Performances in Bellevue are 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Feb. 18 and 19. The Meydenbauer Center is located at 11100 N.E. Sixth St. in Bellevue. It will be at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., March 3 and 4 at ECB in Renton at 2230 Lind Ave. S.W., Suite 109. The ballet is based on the books created by author Jane O’Conner and illustrated by Robin Priess Glasser. Priess Glasser will be at the Meydenbauer performances meeting attendees. The Fancy Nancy enterprise has created 50 books in six years. There are toys, flap and sticker books, all kinds of incarnations. It’s like running an animation studio and working with other artists who come up with a lot of the images, said Priess Glasser. “It’s become a brand, but that being said we take extremely seriously the picture books that come out every year,� she said. The holy grail is the picture book, which Priess Glasser works on personally. She is a former ballerina, having danced with the Pennsylvania Ballet about 20 years ago. At that time, Priess Glasser danced with ECB Artistic Director Kevin Kaiser and Mary LeGere, choreographer of the “Fancy Nancy: Bonjour Butterfly� ballet. The first time Priess Glasser saw the ballet staged she cried through the whole thing because of her previous ballet work and said it was like seeing her experience come full circle. “I can’t wait to come back and maybe I’ll get to see some of the adorable girls that came last year,� she said. Attending a Fancy Nancy ballet is quite an event that brings out little girls as young as 3-years-old dressed in their mother’s pearls and gloves. The ballet features dancers age 5 and 6 to 24 and 25-yearold company dancers. Kaiser is deeply passionate about helping the youth of the community understand this art form and continue their education in arts, he said. The performance is about an hour long and also features “Dancing to Disney.� Last year the company had to add shows to the performances in Bellevue and Renton because is was so popular. Kaiser’s philosophy is to give his dancers the full curriculum, curriculum, learning about being in a theater and how to perform on stage. “The more opportunity (the students) have on stage the better they’ll become at a much faster pace,� he said. Tickets for the shows are $19 for adults and $12 for students, ages 2-18 with valid identification. For more information visit, http://www.evergreencityballet.org/perf-fancy.html.
