RTC names four finalists for college president Public forums scheduled for all four candidates next week

Fight at Salvation Army meal program prompts groups to review safety rules Following an incident in which the police were called to stop a fight between two homeless men at the Renton Salvation Army, the Renton Meal Coalition is re-evaluating its safety guidelines for each of its meal programs.

On March 9 the police were called to the Salvation Army building on Tobin Avenue South to respond to two males fighting in the street. According to police records and witness accounts, a 71-year-old man struck a 25-year-old man with his canes and then pulled a knife on the 25-year-old.

In the end, both men were banned by the Salvation Army from the meal program there for six months.

That decision sparked debate between Renton Ecumenical Association of Churches (REACH) and the Sanctuary for All Needing Equality and Respect (SANER) about the punishment that was meted out by the Salvation Army and the safety guidelines that exist around the groups’ meal programs. Members of REACH and SANER have both said in meetings that food should not be used as a punitive tool.

The Salvation Army and REACH make up the Renton Meal Coalition. SANER is a group of homeless individuals and volunteers, who meet at the Harambee Center during REACH’s Warm-up Breakfast program. All three organizations currently have their own set of guidelines for community conduct during the meals.

The relationship between the Salvation Army and REACH has been “fine,” according to Maggie Breen, REACH executive director, but there seems to be a need for more communication.

“We just want to make sure that the three programs are talking to each other as well as we possibly can,” she said.

“And I’m just concerned because we had this incident and the community was upset by it, that we do that as well as we possibly can.”

The 25-year-old who was involved in the fight has not been banned from any of REACH’s meal programs because, Breen said, the group has a different relationship with him than the Salvation Army. The older man in the incident has disappeared, but Breen said they would talk to him first if he were [ more MEALS page 4 ]

With more than 100 parents participating, there are classes in English, Spanish, Vietnamese and interpreters for American Sign Language and Romanian.

“I spent much time talking with parents before and after school before I began the PASA program and it became very clear that a lot of parents were greatly disconnected, mainly because they didn’t know when or how to communicate with their children’s teach-

The program allows her to relate and empower parents regarding their child’s education, Goodwin said.

For some parents, navigating their child’s school system may not be as straightforward as one might think. There may be language or cultural barriers that make it challenging, or young parents may simply just not know where to start.

In March, the Renton School District started its Parent Academy for Student Achievement (PASA), a parent-engagement program designed to help break down barriers to helping students succeed, starting with obstacles their parents might face.

It’s a nine-week program taught by parents and funded through the Race to the Top grant. A pilot program, PASA is just at Honey Dew and Highlands elementary schools.

“Giving others the benefit of learning from someone who has or is currently parenting a school-aged child saves time and energy, not to mention frustration,” said Dee Dee Bashaw, parent peer trainer.

Bashaw is one of the 21 parents hired by the YMCA, a partner, to teach other parents about how to navigate the school system, how to support student success in reading and math and achieve their child’s academic goals. She has two children in the district and has been involved in her kids’ preschool board, PTA and has been a parent class helper. Her network of connections have given her and her children “a sense of acceptance in an amazing, supportive community,” Bashaw said.

District administrators are hoping to foster that same type of network of parent-leaders with PASA and ultimately get students

information and what questions to ask to see if their child will graduate on time.

The questions and feedback that the parent peer trainers gather from parents is then shared with the school principals and teaching staff.

“So we’re really trying to build a two-way communication,” said Strey.

The administrator said the program is trying to build “cultural navigators,” or parents who know a culture or speak a particular language in their school communities and connect with them.

Parents teaching parents puts everyone on mutual ground, said Bashaw.

“I like guiding and sharing what I’ve learned, and I really love that I get all of that, and more, right back when others do the same for me,” she said.

● QUOTE OF NOTE:

“We just want to make sure that the three programs are talking to each other as well as we possibly can. And I’m just concerned because we had this incident and the community was upset by it, that we do that as well as we possibly can.“ Maggie Breen, REACH executive director

There’s little room for bargaining on state’s budget There was to be no pomp or ceremony this past week when Gov. Jay Inslee planned to sit down with the Democrat and Republican leaders of the House and Senate to talk budget.

Rather, the state’s chief executive and four caucus honchos tried to figure out what routes to take — and which to avoid — to reach agreement in the 18 days left before the Legislature is scheduled to adjourn.

What should be apparent, though maybe not admitted in this particular gathering, is neither majority party enjoys much bargaining advantage at the outset of this year’s negotiations because the balance of power in each chamber is, well, pretty balanced.

In the House, Democrats only outnumber Republicans 51-47. That doesn’t give Speaker Frank Chopp, D-Seattle, much extra muscle with which to try to impose his will on the process.

In the Senate, Republicans operate with a 26-23 edge on Democrats. (The Republican Caucus has 25 adherents of the Grand Old Party and one centrist Democrat). That doesn’t provide Senate Majority Leader Mark Schoesler, R-Ritzville, much extra strength to force matters his way either.

Such numeric equality fuels optimism among Olympia’s political class — sort of like what Chicago Cub fans feel this time of the season — in the ability of the House and Senate to reach the hundreds of little compromises on spending that are the guts of the 500-page spending tome.

These are the $1 million, $5 million and $10 million decisions for budgets of state agencies and the provisos for studies, task forces and reports to the Legislature.

These same insiders’ aren’t quite so effervescent about lawmakers easily resolving conflicts between the chambers on modifying the initiative for smaller class sizes, increasing state worker pay and hiking taxes.

This is where they hope House Democrats and Senate Republicans are cognizant of the thin ice on which they’ve set their bargaining stakes.

Consider the House’s position. Democrats pushed through their two-year $38.8 billion spending plan on a party -ine vote but have not yet passed the $1.5 billion package of tax increases needed to pay for it all.

Democrat leaders insist the votes are there and brush off repeated challenges by Republican counterparts to prove it. Democrats contend if they did pass it and sent it to the Senate for consideration it would be ignored so why go through the exercise.

Senate budget negotiators will no doubt point out this shortcoming as they look to whittle down the size of the House Democrats plan.

In the meantime, Senate negotiators are operating on weaker ground in some areas themselves, after what happened in a marathon session that began the afternoon April 2 Jerry Cornfield

It is great to see that the mayor is concerned with the transportation issues facing our region and the important funding decisions being made in Olympia.

But we’d feel a whole lot better if Mayor Law and his staff would show leadership at the local level and accept responsibility for the forces within their own local control. I’m speaking specifically of the city’s decision to continue to approve new residential subdivisions that add hundreds of vehicle trips per day to the 156th Avenue Southeast / Southeast 154 Place intersection – an intersection that the city acknowledges to be “failing.”

Those who use the that corridor for their daily commute may share our frustration. Morning commute traffic stacks up in both directions on the Maple Valley Highway just to reach 154th Place Southeast. Evening traffic backs up on 156th Avenue Southeast, keeping long-time residents like ourselves trapped on our side streets, hoping for a long-awaited break in traffic.

State law (RCW 58.17) requires that the city do two important things as part of any preliminary plat approval. First, it requires that the city make an affirmative finding that appropriate provisions have been made for the public health, safety, and general welfare, including streets and roads. Secondly, the law requires the city to make an affirmative finding that the public use and interest will be served by approving a new subdivision.

We find it difficult to understand how adding new traffic to a failing intersection is in the public interest.

When the City of Renton Fire Department responds to a house fire, is it in the public interest for them to add gasoline to the blaze? When a storm water grate is plugged, is it in the public interest for our Street Department to rush to the scene with new leaves to add to the gutter – even one leaf? And when the sewer main is plugged, is it in the public interest for the Sewer Department to go door to door asking people to flush with abandon – or even once?

Why, then, does the city continue to find that it is in the public interest to approve subdivisions like “The Enclave at Bridle Ridge” and “Alpine Nursery,” which it acknowledges will add traffic to this failing intersection?

Instead of being willing to say “No” to the new traffic-generating subdivisions, which flow through the approval process faster than the traffic on I-405, the city keeps saying “Yes,” despite clear evidence that adding this new traffic is not in the public interest.

We are currently appealing the city’s compliance with RCW 58-17, but citizens of our city should not have to reply upon the courts to protect their public interest. That is the job of the mayor, his staff, and the City Council.

Sure, we’d like to see the Legislature do some good for our city this session, but wouldn’t it be nice to see Mayor Law and the City Council acknowledge the crisis in our community, and take the proactive action that is in their control?

Senate Republicans made it harder to amend their proposed $37.8 billion budget with a rule change requiring a supermajority vote of 60 percent to pass any amendment offered on the floor.

This meant passage required votes of at least 30 of the 49 senators.

This blunted the Democrats, while at the same time allowed moderate GOP members to vote for a Democrat-sponsored amendment on a controversial subject without fear it would pass or be used against them in a future campaign.

Great lawn, landscaping doesn’t require lots of water mulches that can pay dividends later in the summer with fewer weeds and lower water bills. Mulch is an investment that saves our liquid assets.

2. Learn how to grow a healthy lawn without chemicals.

By aerating your lawn in the spring, using lime to break up clay and keep down moss and not mowing the grass too short you can skip the expensive weed and feed products in favor of slow-release nitrogen lawn foods that will keep the grass thick enough to crowd out weeds.

The most important time to fertilize you lawn is in the fall and spring before summer weeds can take over. Mow your grass when the blades are three inches tall and remove just one-third of the blade so the lawn grasses are never shorter than two inches.

One more thing – leave the grass clippings on the lawn. They will decompose to add free nitrogen to the soil.

THE COMPLEAT HOME GARDENER

Marianne Binetti

Homeowners waste a lot of money trying to have a lovely landscape. The biggest waste could be the amount of water used to keep lawns green and plants healthy.

Local water districts have been offering free classes and garden seminars to educate their customers on how to use water most efficiently to keep their lawns and landscapes healthy. (I’ll be speaking at Point Defiance on April 21 about “The Un-Thirsty Landscape” as part of the Friendly Tacoma Yards Program.)

Here are 5 Dirt Cheap Garden Tips that you can bank on: 1. Mulch around your trees and shrubs now to seal in spring moisture.

A mulch is like a frosting that sits on top of the soil to keep out weeds and conserve water. Bark dust, wood chips, gravel and composted moo doo are all types of

sored amendments. Of those 10 received 25 or more votes, which is a majority in the chamber.

A key one dealt with pay hikes for state workers. The Senate budget contained raises of $1,000 per employee per year.

The amendment called for approving new contracts negotiated between the state employee unions and the governor’s office, putting it in line with the House budget.

Six Republicans joined the 23 minority Democrats to support the revision but, because of the rule, it failed 29-20. You can

and shrubs and watch them grow.

Young shrubs in one gallon pots are easier to transport, easier to transplant and will adjust more quickly to your soil. You’ll also have the joy of watching them grow up and out for years before you have to worry about them growing too large for their space.

4. Look to your kitchen cupboard for dirt cheap pest control.

Aphid and white fly can be sprayed with a soapy mix made from a mild dishwashing soap. Scale insects can be controlled by dipping a cotton swab into rubbing alcohol

and black spot on roses can be prevented using skim milk painted on the undersides of the foliage.

5. Recycle and Reuse – especially when it comes to containers.

Cardboard egg cartons make great seed starting cubbies and recycling galvanized buckets, garbage cans or even wooden packing pallets are all ways to grow more while buying less.

One of the best ways to recycle empty water bottles is to use them in the bottom one third of large pots as drainage material.

The empty plastic bottles not only keep the planter lightweight and draining freely but also mean you’ll need less potting soil to fill up your container.

50th ANNIVERSARY VIETNAM WAR COMMEMORATION LOCAL EVENTS APRIL 12-17

Seattle and Washington State have an unusual role in the Vietnam War Commemoration, a national initiative to thank Vietnam veterans a half century after the United States rapidly escalated its deployment of troops to South Vietnam following the Gulf of Tonkin incident. Many of the troops who returned home were met with disdain rather than with the thanks that veterans of other conflicts received.

Joe Galloway, the Vietnam correspondent who authored the book “We Were Soldiers Once... And Young” (adapted into the 2002 film “We Were Soldiers”), is in Seattle for a week of interviews with local Vietnam veterans. He will speak at Seattle Rotary’s noon luncheon April 15 and will be featured at a breakfast interview session at the Columbia Tower Club on April 17.

The Vietnam War Commemoration is aimed at spurring events and activities in states, cities and towns around the country to recognize Vietnam veterans and their families for their service and sacrifice.

The partners’ program is designed for state and local communities, veterans’ organizations and other nongovernmental organizations to assist in thanking and honoring Vietnam Veterans and their families.

Galloway has been going around the country doing three two-hour interviews a day with Vietnam veterans from across the services spectrum and by now has well over 75 two-hour interviews done, as he explained it, “beginning with Colin Powell and working outward.”

Galloway was a Texas boy who became a correspondent for United Press International and, in the battle of Ia Drang that his book and its movie adaptation made famous, he was decorated for heroism on the battlefield, receiving the bronze star for rescuing two wounded soldiers while under fire. He was praised by the late Gen. Norman Schwartzkopf as “the soldiers’ reporter” because of his caring and regard for those whose battles he covered.

Hazen soccer tops Renton, but falls to Kennedy

BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

The Hazen boys soccer team bookended their weekend with a hardfought win over Renton on Friday and a tough loss to Kennedy Catholic on Monday.

Though Hazen controlled much of Friday’s game at Renton Memorial Stadium, the Indians put up a strong fight, forcing action on both sides of the field.

Reyes Garcia started the scoring for the Highlanders in the 17th minute, taking a pass from Robbie Schroeder and putting it in the net. At the 33-minute mark, Jorge Aguirre made it 2-0 off an assist from Ethan Kem. Renton scored five minutes into the second half to make it 2-1, but at 62 minutes, Drew Wilson notched an insurance goal off an assist from Zach Quesnel.

Things got interesting in stoppage time, however, when Renton was awarded a penalty kick and keeper Jaime Martinez had to make a stop to protect the two-goal lead.

“Renton surprised me; they’re better than their record,” coach Ken Matthews said in a press release.

Matthews also cited the defensive play of Cristhian Rios as key to the team’s win.

On Monday, the Highlanders traveled to Starfire Stadium for a match-up with Seamount powerhouse Kennedy.

Matthews said the match was mostly a “dead heat” with both teams getting good chances.

Five minutes into the second half, Kennedy pushed a goal through and then held on as Hazen had trouble getting its passing game going.

“We were out of sync tonight,” Matthews said. “If there’s a silver lining, we play Kennedy again and we’ll be better.”

Hazen played Tyee Wednesday at Renton Memorial Stadium.

Renton played at Foster.

The Hazen girls tennis team stayed undefeated in the Seamount league on Monday, but just barely, eking out a 4-3 win at home against Renton.

In the end, Hazen won all of the singles matches, while Renton won all three doubles matches.

“Most of the matches were really close and could have gone either way,” Coach Gail Ellis said in an email. “This is definitely one of the best Renton teams I’ve seen in a long time.”

In third doubles, the team of Yesena Cruz and Vivian Vo beat Constance La and Lilian Mai 6-2, 4-6, 6-1.

Hazen is now 3-1 on the season and 3-0 in the Seamount. They were scheduled to travel to Kennedy Tuesday.

Renton falls to 2-2 overall and in the league and was scheduled to host Evergreen Tuesday.

In third singles Kristy Huynh defeated Corisa Leon 6-2, 6-0 and in fourth singles Adress Chan beat Isabelle Saechao 6-0, 6-1.

Liberty fastpitch falls twice to Lake Washington

BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

The Liberty softball team suffered its first two losses of the season this week, falling to Lake Washington 5-0 on Monday and then 5-1 on Tuesday. The losses came after the team racked up its seventh win on Friday against Interlake.

The Patriots went to Interlake on April 3 and quickly fell behind as Interlake put up 2 runs in the first inning. But Liberty never backed down and plated a run in the fourth to cut the lead to 2-1, only to see Interlake score again in the

bottom of the inning.

But again, Liberty battled, scoring 4 runs in the top of the fifth and then adding a run in each the sixth and seventh inning to come away with a 7-4 victory.

Hannah McMullin and Sydney Hopper again led the way for Liberty. Hopper went 2-for-5 with 3 RBI while McMullin went 2-for-3 at the plate with a triple and an RBI. Jayme Shaw also added 2 RBI for the Patriots.

Hopper also picked up the win, striking out 10 and walking 2 in 7 innings of work. Only one of Interlake’s runs was earned as Liberty posted six errors in the game.

Things did not go as smoothly on Monday, as Lake Washington held Liberty to just 2 hits and no runs in a 5-0 loss.

On Tuesday, the two teams faced off again and, unfortunately for the Patriots, the results were very similar.

Liberty scored first, on a home run from Kendal Kauzlarich, but Lake Washington answered with two of their own in the bottom of the inning.

The score stayed 2-1 until the fifth when Lake Washington was able to plate three more runs and then hold on for the 5-1 win.

Hopper picked up the loss for the Patriots. She gave up 5 runs, all earned, on 8 hits with 5 strikeouts and 2 walks.

Liberty is now 7-2 on the season overall and was scheduled to play Bellevue today, Friday.
