If the malls are nearly empty of teens and the Henry Moses Aquatic Center is lacking the younger crowd then it must be Tuesday, September 4. That is the official date students in the Renton School District will return to classes. There will be an estimated 14,699 students filling the back to halls and classrooms in the district this year. That is a 272 student increase from the previous year. “The increase in students is across all grade levels; so, they will be absorbed at all schools and in various grade levels,” said Randy Matheson, district spokesperson. “Last year the increase in students was 194 students.” The opening of Honey Dew Elementary School with 460 students and the new Secondary Learning Center with 360 students total will help accommodate the increase in students this year, he said.

Cedar River library, legislative races, more election results By Dean A. Radford and Tracey Compton

From the first results, the Cedar River library was the clear choice of Renton’s voters for the location of the downtown library. The percentage has changed little since Aug. 7. As of Wednesday, the last tally available before the Renton Reporter’s print deadline, the Cedar River library location was favored 76 percent to 23 percent for a new library just west of the Piazza. The King County Elections Division will release the final vote

tally on Tuesday. Voters countywide approved a property tax increase to build a new Children and Family Justice Center in Seattle. Besides the important library measure in Renton, there are several legislative races in Renton. The top-two vote-getters, regardless of party affiliation, will advance to the general election in November. Half the state Senate seats and all of the state House of Representative seats are up for election. Here are the midweek tallies in Renton’s legislative district races:

Renton’s happy delusions to close doors a birthday gift for her friend, Amira. Checking out at Mary’s register is always a time to catch up. Sometimes, when I can’t make heads or tales of things going on in the community I look to Mary as an outpost for information I can trust. “What’s up?” I asked Mary. “Well, I think I might have a story for you,” Mary said. “Do tell,” I replied. “Let me get through the art walk stuff,” Mary had said. “Then we can sit down and talk.” Amelia and I left happy delusions intrigued, pondering possibilities as well Carolyn Ossorio

LIFE IN THE CITY

“Hey, Lady!” Mary called out her familiar greeting when we walked into happy delusions the other day. Her warm smile appeared, which I’ve come to know is as much a part of her outfit as her honey colored glasses, dangly earrings, and warm demeanor. Mary Clymer’s fun. Whenever we go into her shop, we experience the big smile, fun music, and the sense that my business is important. That is the bread and butter of any successful small business. I believe the theme song from Cheers says it best: “You wanna go where everybody knows your name and they're always glad you came.” And Amelia, my daughter, and I are always happy we came to happy delusions! We were there the other day to pick out

as the beautiful handcrafted earrings and necklace that Mary had custom wrapped with pom-poms made out of yarn balls. Could she be opening a second store? Could she be hosting a new artist? Could she be partnering with someone on a new venture in the DTR, downtown Renton? When I popped into happy delusions a week later during Renton River Days I never dreamed that Mary’s “scoop” was the demise of happy delusions. Yet there I was staring at an invitation card with the words: Celebrating 5 years of craft and community happy delusions Anniversary and Closing Party Friday Sept. 7th 5-9 p.m. Why was I so shocked? Small businesses, especially in the DTR, seem to close down all too often. But somehow I thought this wonderful, little Renton treasure would be immune. “When I first opened the store five years ago I supplemented my business by working for the first three years at Armondo’s restaurant,” said Mary. “He was a great mentor,” she added of Armondo Pavone. “After three years, I left Armondo’s to see if I could make it. I lasted six months and it was depressing.” Mary went to work at D.C.’s Bar and Grill, now named The Local 907. “At the three year mark, I figured with the economy I would give it five years," Mary said. "And so this September it will be five years. It’s time.” Mary has a business proposal if anyone is interested in buying the business. “The store can sustain itself beautifully, just nothing for me to live on," Mary said. "I’m ready for my next adventure.” Mary has deep roots in the community. Mary’s mom is a retired Renton school

Homeless students on the rise in Renton schools

programs offered. When transported students get to school they are often a “mess” or bewildered because of all that they’ve had to endure, said Fulmer. It’s the family liaison’s job to check in on them and see how they’re doing, she said. First the liaisons will try to help the families secure housing, then they also get them the other services they need by connecting them to local resources. “Resources are dwindling,” said Paro. “There are fewer non-profits and the existing non-profits have fewer resources and money to provide services.” So, the responsibilities of the family liaisons is twofold, she said. They assess needs and provide school supplies, coats, connection to community resources and family education among other things to the whole school. Family liaisons also provide individual students with basic needs, such as food, clothing, a feasible living situation. In doing their work, they provide social and emotional support and access to programs like mentoring and a weekend backpack food program, to name a few. “We’re networkers; we’re an emotional support to people, in some instances we’re able to provide items or gift cards to the family,” said Fulmer. “It’s just who I am,” she added about why she enjoys her job. “It just comes from the heart, what we do.”

The face of homelessness is shifting and one place that is evident is the among families in the Renton School District, according to officials with Communities in Schools of Renton (CISR). The non-profit estimates that there has been a 20 percent increase in homeless children at the eight elementary schools CISR serves in the district between 2009 and 2011. In their analysis of homelessness in the state, SchoolHouse Washington, released information showing there were 314 homeless students in the Renton School District last year. That is about 2 percent of last year’s population of 14,429 students. CISR staff are seeing more middle-class families who don’t know how to access social services, said Sue Paro, CISR executive director. “We are seeing a greater and deeper need than before,” she said. “We are also seeing more domestic violence and situations where safety is an issue.” The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act outlines the rights of homeless students and allows them to maintain continuity in their educational experiences and to receive specific services. Due to this act, there are liaisons in each of the schools that help facilitate homeless students and their families get access to the services they need. The CISR family liaisons are hired by the district, but paid for by the organization. There are four full-time family liaisons and one who is part-time who all act as homeless advocates at eight elementary schools in the district. Other staff, such as the attendance contact or counselor takes on that same responsibility in the remaining schools. “Without the family liaisons (homeless) people are pretty much invisible in the school system,” said Paro. Identifying homeless students isn’t that easy, according to CISR staff. And, by the time families reach out for support they are in desperate need. Because CISR family liaisons work in the school, they are aware of students on free and reduced lunch, who may need other support services. They also get insight from teachers, counselors, nurses, para-educators and even custodial staff. “You have to have a special energy and we’re emotional support,” said Ginny Fulmer, CISR family liaison. “You have to have a sense that when they’re contacting us about food, the odds are there’s a lot of other things that are lacking too.” Fulmer remembers one middle class family who contacted her last year. Both parents had well-paying jobs as medical assistants, but one parent was laid off. That job

loss sent the family into a tailspin. It resulted in them eventually losing their transportation, because they couldn’t afford the maintenance, and then they lost their home. This family, as is the case with many, had exhausted all of their resources by the time they reached out to Fulmer because they had no food. Ginny Fulmer The families that Fulmer and other family liaisons have encountered arrive at homelessness sometimes due to a job loss, a death in the family, an illness, a divorce or even domestic violence as a result of fleeing. Sometimes school staff are able to identify students in need because they are hoarding food, they have difficulty letting go of things or they aren’t doing homework. Under the McKinney-Vento Act, one of the biggest issues the district supports is transportation for homeless students to school regardless of where they stay. “We spent in excess of $500,000 last year on transporting homeless students to their school of origin or neighborhood school,” said Vickie Damon, district director of categorical programs via email. The McKinney-Vento Act is an unfunded Federal mandate and the district sets aside some funds from Title I funding to support the academic success of homeless students, she said. That amount, about $20,000 annually, is used to pay for things like special class or camp materials and band fees so that homeless students can participate in all

Police Blotter

By ADAM McFADDEN amcfadden@rentonreporter.com

A Seattle man was arrested for obstructing a public servant Aug. 2 for making threats. Witnesses called police to Safeway to report a man taunting and yelling profanities at customers in the parking lot. Police found the man inside the store walking towards the beer cooler and recognized him from a call earlier that evening when he became agitated and urinated on a Burger King. The suspect became upset, balled his hands into fists and began using profanity against the police officers, but eventually went outside. Once outside, the suspect attempted to assault a police officer. The officer took him down and handcuffed him. The suspect moved his handcuffs from back to front several times during transport,

Covington woman finds grenade Renton police responded to a call at the Renton Fred Meyer that a Covington woman had found a grenade Aug. 3. The woman had found the grenade while cleaning out her father’s house and wasn’t sure what to do with it. She and her family had passed it among themselves for several days before contacting the police. She asked the officer if he would like to handle the grenade to inspect it. The officer declined.

Officers cordoned off the parking lot and the Port of Seattle Police Department’s ordinance disposal unit took custody of the grenade.

The customer was bending over to pick up a case of water when the suspect grabbed the man’s necklace from behind and ripped it off, then ran out of the store. The customer told police the necklace was 24K gold and worth $2,800. On video surveillance footage, the suspect is watching the customer while he shopped for a time before slowly closing in when he found an opportune moment to grab it. Additional footage showed two more suspects that left the store just before the robbery and got a vehicle to wait for the third suspect.

Letter to the editor Vote or keep silent To me, it is sad to note that only 20 percent of the registered voters (9, 000 voted vs. 44,500 registered voters) within the City of Renton bothered to vote in this past election - especially with the emotionally charged library issue on the ballot! I, personally, would be much more willing to pay more in taxes to refurbish the Cedar River Library if the percentage of voters having a say would have been larger. The voting process has been made so easy for us - sit at our kitchen table and fill out the ballot - take a week to do that if you want! Sure beats the days of rushing from work to the voting venue or being late to work because we stopped in the morning on our way! For several years now, when anyone bellyaches to me about government issues and the way things are run, my first question is, “Did you vote?” If their answer is in the negative, I ask them to keep their opinions to themselves until they can start taking their duties of citizenship seriously!

Key to salmon survival Give fish a ride, rather is protecting habitat than tear down dam For many years we have said that enforcing existing state and federal pollution laws is one of the most effective actions we can take to recover salmon in western Washington and protect tribal treaty rights. It sounds like maybe we are finally being heard. The owner of a Pierce County construction company pled guilty recently to the first criminal charges for stormwater pollution ever filed in western Washington. Under a plea bargain, the owner agreed to pay $750,000 in fines and other costs for violating the federal Clean Water Act under charges brought by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Between 2007 and 2011 the construction company ignored state and federal environmental protection laws and seriously damaged salmon habitat at a project site near Sumner, said Tyler Amon of the EPA Criminal Investigations Division. “This rogue developer knowingly, and repeatedly, chose profit over protection,” he said. “This plea serves as notice to our regional developers ... these are serious environmental crimes that will be vigorously pursued.” Polluted stormwater runoff is one of the biggest obstacles to salmon recovery and the cleanup of Puget Sound. Runoff from parking lots, construction sites, roads and other sources flushes many pollutants into wetlands, streams and rivers that feed Puget Sound, the second largest estuary in the United States. We are losing salmon habitat throughout western Washington faster than we can restore it. Protecting existing habitat is much less costly than paying to restore it after the damage is done. Habitat protection is the most important action needed in the short term, according to the Puget Sound Chinook Salmon Recovery Plan developed by the state and tribal salmon co-managers and adopted by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). However, NMFS’ 2010 review of the recovery plan found that habitat is still declining and protection efforts need improvement. We have reached similar conclusions through the 2012 State of Our Watersheds report that will be released next month. Almost three years in the making, it is the most comprehensive report to date on the status of salmon habitat in the region.

Protecting the salmon

Some activists believe there is no such thing as a good dam, that we should destroy all dams to restore fish runs, no questions asked. A more balanced approach would be identifying dams we can live with, and dams we can live without. When the Elwha Dam was completed in 1913, people cared more about electrifying the Olympic Peninsula than protecting migrating salmon. After all, salmon were plentiful and electricity was the force driving economic growth. But the dam denied salmon and steelhead access to their traditional spawning grounds about 50 miles upriver. Last year all that began to change. Both the Elwha and Glines Canyon dams were demolished with the hope that the fish will return. A similar story unfolded last year when the Condit Dam was breached, opening miles of old spawning streams on the upper White Salmon River in the Columbia River Gorge. While dam busting has its place, it is only one option. For example, the Condit Dam was owned by PacifiCorp, as are the Merwin, Yale and Swift dams on the north fork of the Lewis River. Even though they are owned and operated by the same company, their situations are very different. The Lewis River dams were constructed between 1931 and 1958 with no fish passages. As part of the new 50-year operating license, PacifiCorp agreed to spend a $120 million to return fish runs above the Swift, the upper most of the trio. This is how it works: adult salmon and steelhead heading up the river to spawn are collected below Merwin, the first dam, and trucked to Swift Reservoir where they are released to continue their spawning swim. The downstream migration is a little trickier. Juveniles, which are more elusive, are collected at the head of Swift Dam and trucked down river to the release point below Merwin. On the Columbia and the Lower Snake rivers, adult salmon and steelhead use fish ladders to bypass the concrete barriers. But for fish heading out to sea, one of the best options has been to collect and barge the fish around the dams. Even though barging young fish has been around since 1955, some feel it is unnatural. Others say fish released from a barge or truck lose their homing instinct and are confused when they return from the ocean to spawn. Over the years, transporting fish has improved greatly.

www.rentonreporter.com

Brunell [ brunell from page 6 ] more than 20 million fish travel by barge, dodging predators and deadly turbines. Barging appears to work best for steelhead and spring Chinook, which spend a year in the fresh waters before heading out to sea. That makes sense since they grow bigger and stronger before making the trek. The point is, 100 years makes a tremendous difference. If the dams on the Elwha and White Salmon

rivers were constructed today, they would have included fish passage systems. Because they did not, they came down. But not all dams have to come down. When fish passages are an option, it is worth the investment to enhance fish habitat while providing low-cost electricity for our growing economy. In 1910, there were just over 1.1 million people in our state, and our economy was just developing. Today, we have 6.7 million who depend upon low-cost electricity for our homes, businesses, hospitals, schools and factories — but

we also have much better science that enables us to make more precise and site — and species-specific decisions. So removing all of the dams — dams that provide electricity, irrigation, flood control and commercial water transportation — is not an option. But restoring

habitat and giving oceangoing fish a short ride to safety is.

Don Brunell is the president of the Association of Washington Business, the state’s oldest and largest statewide business association.

[ frank from page 6 ] habitat barriers to salmon recovery. We hope the EPA means what it says and that this is the beginning of a broader effort to finally truly enforce environmental laws to protect salmon habitat. That’s a key recommendation in our Treaty Rights at Risk initiative aimed at encouraging the federal government to lead a more effective and coordinated salmon recovery effort. You can learn more at our web site: www.treatyrightsatrisk.org. Salmon recovery begins and ends with habitat – good, plentiful habitat that can produce an abundance of fish for all of us. Our watersheds are living things, and we must stop their bleeding – the loss and damage of salmon habitat – if we ever hope to gain ground on salmon recovery. Aggressive enforcement of existing environmental laws to protect salmon is a good place to start.

“I only wish I would have talked to my papa more,” Mary said, referring to her grandfather, Earl Clymer, former Renton Mayor. I asked Mary what she would have asked of Papa Clymer. She gave the following response: “I just remember him being so positive and he always made time to talk to whoever wanted to talk. I would ask him how you maintain your politics and remain open and patient with everyone. But part of Papa Clymer’s legacy is that people automatically trust in you which is great. And happy delusions is an extension of that: people just naturally come to me as a go-between the city.” I understood exactly what Mary was saying. happy delusions is a shop but it’s also a place where Renton citizens gravitate toward to understand what’s going on in the community.

“People want to talk to someone about what’s going on," Mary said. "The council needs someone out and talking to the people.” “Is that person you?” I asked. “We’ll see.” Mary said. “I’ve put my resume with the city in the Parks Department and Economic Development. They know I love Renton, I’m very civic minded and believe in community service and economic development. I’m looking to stay in Renton and I would love to work for the city. But I’ve put my resume out all over the state.” “If you worked for the City of Renton, what would be your ideal job?” I asked. Mary paused. “I don’t want this to be political.” Mary said. “There are a lot of great things happening in DTR. Restaurants are happening. But then there’s always this question with everyone in DTR - what’s the problem?” I understood what she was saying.

Clymer hoping to work for city

Given the latest library controversy and the growing sense that the downtown is continually the ugly stepchild of Renton it might be tempting to blame or point fingers—especially when a beloved shop in DTR is going out of business, a fact that I know will affect people in the community. Mary’s response: “If Georgetown can make a scene, so should we. It’s time for boldness and change. I’d love to be a liaison between the community and the city. I’d love to have a position where I can put a calendar of events together that encompasses more than just city events. That showcase all that Renton culture has to offer. It’s not that things aren’t happening in Renton. People aren’t aware of the really amazing things out there. And I’d love to bring big events to Renton.” “Whatever I end up doing whether it’s here in Renton or elsewhere I will continue doing something with artists," Mary said. "I’m sad to leave happy delusions but I’m really excited to see where I’m going!” It may be too late to save happy delusions. But it’s not too late to keep this fantastic lady in our community working for our behalf at the City of Renton!

Pair with Renton roots provides pageantry for Longacres By TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

Toni Nelson, co-owner of the Renton Flower Shop, demonstrates how to create a blanket of flowers for the Longacres Mile horse race at Emerald Downs. She’s been making the blankets for the race for more than 30 years. tracey compton, Renton Reporter still involved in racing as owners and breeders, wanted to see the tradition of the Mile carried on. Hanson and Nelson followed suit and have outfitted the Mile, Triple Crown races and other occasions with their designs. “Because of Longacres being in Renton forever, Longacres has always been a part of us,” said Hanson. She remembers being about 25 years old when she started helping her mother with the project.

NORTHWEST STEEL & RECYCLING

Nelson worked at and later managed Renton Flower Shop for 43 years until she sold it in 2001. She and Hanson opened up a shop again in downtown Renton last April. But, they continuously worked on projects for the Mile. Nelson said her involvement with Longacres started when the track and City of Renton worked together to promote the running of the Mile. “It had been going on for many years, but there wasn’t a lot of

DELEGATING POWER The document known as “power of attorney” provides a person of your choosing the power to represent you and act on your behalf, which is necessary when a third party is asked to rely on that authority. For instance, a financial power of attorney might be needed any time you want someone else to conduct business for you. This may be required when you need to conduct business long-distance, or you want your spouse or other family member to conduct business in your behalf if you were to become physically or mentally unable to act on your own. The person whom you choose as an agent for your power of attorney should be someone you can totally trust. Do you have any questions about the different sorts of powers of attorney?

She is responsible for the displays on each floor, the Widmer Brothers Club or Turf Club and on the owner’s tables. “Dramatic is what I do and that’s why it’s fun for me to do the Longacres Mile,” Hanson said. “I like to be part of it. And, it just make the Mile special when people walk in and there’s flowers. It just helps with the vibe.” She is also responsible for the flowers on Media Day, the day jockeys learn their post positions. Those floral designs are always in the colors of the silks of last year’s winning team. The 2011 Mile winner was Awesome Gem with jockey David Flores in black and gold silks. Hanson will use gold Dahlias with black ribbon trim for a small blanket to adorn a display as people arrive for Media Day. She’ll use yellow begonias and Boston ferns around the stage. In previous years, she’s used Pink Mink Protea, ginger, Birds of Paradise, assorted pods, orchids and even willows. “Coming up it has always been a time for me to be able to create,” said Hanson. “And it’s just fun to be able to do large arrangements. They give me full reign of what I want to do on the arrangements normally.”

This Sunday marks the 77th running of the Longacres Mile horse race, and for some 30 years a mother-daughter team has supplied the flowers that set off the occasion. It is the 17th running of the race at Emerald Downs. Part and parcel to any large horse-racing event is the pageantry. It’s in the arrangements that have adorned the facilities at the former Longacres racetrack in Renton and since 1996 at Emerald Downs in Auburn. It’s also in the traditional blanket of flowers that covers the winners of the top races. Responsible for creating those pieces are Roxanne Hanson and her mother Toni Nelson. The two started creating floral designs for Longacres in the late 1970s until it closed in 1992. Even when betting moved to the offtrack facilities in Tukwila when Longacres closed, Hanson and Nelson were still there to make it pretty, supplying flowers. When Emerald Downs opened in 1996, officials got permission from the Alhadeff family to continue the tradition of the Mile horse race. The Alhadeff family includes grandsons of Joe Gottstein, who started and owned Longacres until his death. Michael and Kenny Alhadeff, who are both

I was involved in the downtown celebrations.” Nelson got to know more of the people at the track and soon became involved in doing the flowers for the Mile. She used to hand-sew the flowers to the blanket pattern for the winners. It was a long and arduous task. Now as technology has come along, Nelson uses special glue. It still takes between two and half and three hours to complete the blankets. Approximately 500 carnations are used to create the blankets: 300 white and 200 red. Those are the colors chosen by Emerald Downs for the Mile. “We’ve tried several different types of flowers throughout the years and the carnations have just ended up being the most . . .” said Hanson. “. . . Favorable flower,” said Nelson. “It holds up the best.” Two dozen roses also go across the winning jockey’s lap and the owner receives an arm bouquet of red roses. The blankets used to be all red roses too before flowers got so expensive, said Hanson. The last year they did a blanket of red roses was 2005. This year Hanson is thinking of a green and white color scheme

Nobody knows the Mile like trainer Jim Penney. With a record five trips to the winner's circle in the Northwest's premier horse race, Penney is looking to add a sixth with four-year-old gelding Jebrica. The 77th running of the $200,000 Grade III Longacres Mile is Sunday at Emerald Downs. "I train horses always with that in the back of my mind, 'Hey, is this horse good enough to win the Mile?'" said the 78-year-old Penney, a local legend. "And you notice I just said the Mile. I don't have to say the Longacres Mile because you know. "The Mile has been a premiere showcase," he said. "It is the big race in the Northwest. But not only in the Northwest, it's also had national fame because it was the first race of any importance, a flat mile around two turns, which is its distinction."
