Surprise! They’re losing their home to 405 project New homeowners were not told of plans to expand the freeway through their neighborhood

Residents express library frustrations

By TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

Renton residents packed Tuesday night’s King County Library System Board of Trustees’ meeting respectfully, then forcefully laying out their frustrations with renovation plans for the downtown Renton library.

About 20 people, including Renton City Council member Marcie Palmer, who was representing herself, spoke out during the public comment period at the Newcastle Library.

When all had spoken, the meeting broke down and audience members demanded to know the trustees’ responses to the testimonials. Then KCLS staff and trustees broke meeting protocol to answer More about design some of the questions that Page 13 were being asked of them.

Some Renton residents are upset with the KCLS project team and the City of Renton for not acknowledging or representing what they feel the community wants in a renovated library over the Cedar River.

Those concerns have been voiced repeatedly by the citizens group, Save the Renton Library Again!, which staged a sign-carrying protest outside the meeting.

Among their biggest concerns are conceptual drawings that have been submitted to the City of Renton that show [ more library page 12 ]

SPEEA technical unit OKs contract years of 5 percent salary increase pools, with guaranteed minimum wage increases each year of the contract.

The decision to accept the contract averted a potential strike, because in February the technical unit voted to give negotiators the right to call a strike if they saw fit.

Boeing president Ray Conner said in a statement the company was pleased to hear the outcome of the vote.

“We’re pleased to have settled a contract that rewards SPEEArepresented employees for their contributions to the company’s success while maintaining a superior package of retirement and health care benefits,” Conner’s statement read.

Technical workers have been without a contract since Nov. 25. The new contract will remain in place through 2016.

By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

The Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace technical unit Monday overwhelmingly approved the latest contract offer from Boeing, ending months of negotiations between the union and the company.

When the votes were all tallied Monday evening at SPEEA Headquarters in Tukwila, the vote came to 4,244 to accept and 654 to reject, an approval rate of 86.6 percent.

The contract the unit approved was the same contract it rejected by a narrow margin last month. The union’s professional unit approved the contract during that vote, but the technical unit rejected it.

The major sticking point was the company’s move to place all new

hires into a 401K program instead of the company’s pension plan.

When negotiations picked up again between the two sides, Boeing put forth the same offer.

But the new contract extends the terms of the previous contract, including 5 percent annual salary increase pools, no increases to employees for medical coverage and an

increase to the retirement benefit.

By the end of the new agreement, SPEEA represented technical workers and engineers will have received eight straight

Taylor family talks about tragedy EDITOR’S NOTE: Sgt. Cindi West, public information officer for the King County Sheriff ’s Office, recently talked with Melanie Taylor, the daughter of Robert and Norma Taylor of Fairwood, and the mother of Michael Chadd Boysen, who is the suspect in their deaths on March 9.

The family has asked the media and public to respect their privacy during this difficult time but said there were some things she wanted to say about her son, her parents and the detectives involved in the investigation.

First, we talked about Chadd. She and her former husband adopted Chadd when he was a baby. Melanie said she “loved him from the minute he was put in my arm.” Chadd was a very loving boy that did not mind showing her affection when she dropped him at school. Because adoptions were “closed” at the time, she never had any medical history of his birth parents. Regardless of what that may have been she still would have loved him.

Chadd and his grandparents had a very special close bond. They were like “second parents” to Chadd.

When he was little his grandparents would pick him up from daycare and he would spend the afternoon with them until Melanie got off work. Bob and Norma loved Chadd “more than life.”

She said Chadd was a good student. He attended high school and did the Running Start program at a local college.

Melanie said as Chadd grew up his addictive behavior came out.

Everything he would do, would be to the extreme. She said Chadd started hanging out with “the wrong people” and “lied to her like addicts do, but he never threatened the family and the family never felt threatened by him.”

Melanie said she was the one that turned him in for a series of robberies after she found prescription bottles in her house that did not come from the pharmacy the family used. She said she “loved him, but he needed to obey the law.” Chadd was convicted of multiple robberies at 18-19 years of age and spent five years in prison.

During Chadd’s five years in prison, she and her parents visited him every other week. She said they also sent him letters of support and care packages. She said it was during these visits in prison that she could tell he was changing. He became

more “rough” which she felt he needed to do to survive in prison.

Toward the end of his five-year prison sentence she told him that he needed to “make changes and make wise choices when he was released.”

She also told him she would not visit him if he was imprisoned again.

Sometime after Chadd was released from prison he severely injured his back playing soccer. He had surgery to repair the back and had to have a second surgery when the first one didn’t take. Chadd ended up with a serious infection which required more hospitalization, another surgery which, of course, meant drugs. Soon his drug problems and the lying started again.

Chadd eventually had more runins with the police and eventually was arrested and imprisoned for burglarizing a home. He spent nine months in the Monroe prison before being released on Friday, March 8.

Melanie said it was very painful to have “tough love” and not visit Chadd in prison as she had earlier warned him. She said she wrote him and sent him care packages wanting “him to know she still loved him but did not agree with his choices.”

As the time drew closer for Chadd to get out of prison an aunt made arrangements for him to go into a six-month treatment program through the Salvation Army. His

grandparents said he was excited to get out and start the program.

The day he was released Bob and Norma picked him up and spent about six hours of the day, running errands with him to get him things he needed to start the rehab program.

Melanie said that same evening they had a dinner at her parents’ house to celebrate his release.

“Chadd was upbeat and talked about the wonderful day he had with his grandparents.” He never showed any signs of aggression that night.

Bob and Norma Melanie’s parents Robert (Bob) and Norma celebrated their 59th wedding anniversary on March 5. Her father wanted to dress in a suit and take Norma to his favorite restaurant, Red Lobster. However, Norma did not want to dress up, so they decided to take-out KFC and celebrate at home with their dog “Princess.”

Bob and Norma always opened their house up to friends and family.

Melanie said when she was a kid they would invite friends over and decorate the house for Halloween.

Her parents were always loving and giving.

Norma worked at a bank for 25 years and Bob was the co-owner of a cabinet business. She said her dad

had a woodshop behind the house and every Christmas they would do a craft project for friends and family. Last year her parents made wood cut-out snowmen. Family and friends each got one unfinished and would paint their own. This year Bob and Norma had been working on cut-out reindeers.

Norma lost her hearing about 30 years ago. Even though she couldn’t hear she would attend the grandchildren’s school program. It was something she really enjoyed.

Melanie said of her parents, “when it came to Chadd, they saw the good in him and were forgiving of his choices.”

Melanie said they were like “soldiers and gave their lives for him. If they were given a choice to die and save others they would.” She said her parents “valued Chadd” and she believes other lives were saved because of her parents deaths.

Melanie finished by saying it is “hard to lose them both,” but she is “glad they are together.” She said regardless of what “switched” in Chadd, “they still love him and I do too.” “They were warrior spirits fighting for a cause and that cause was Chadd.”

Melanie closed by talking about the investigation. She said “as stressed out as I am I have grand support from the police. The investigation has been orchestrated and played out as best as possible and done with professionalism and compassion.”

“Our family would like to express our humble gratitude for the outpouring of love, support AND prayers both locally AND nationally.

“Our parents requested in lieu of a service or flowers that donations be made to hearing impaired/deaf research or LDS (Mormon) missionary fund.”

The family also wanted to remind people that the effects of drugs and alcohol doesn’t only hurt the person taking the drugs but others that surround them.

Kevin McPherson, left, is helping Amelia Ossorio expand her art horizons in weekly lessons. Carolyn Ossorio success and recognition and something I’d like to bring to all Renton elementary schools,” Kevin said.

As the PTA Art Docent chairperson at Kennydale, Kevin oversees Kennydale Elementary School’s very successful volunteer art-docent program.

“What exactly does a volunteer art docent at Kennydale do?” I asked.

“Volunteers are assigned to classes where they introduce a well-known art print, facilitate a conversation with the students about the print and provide an art project associated with the print.

One art docent is needed for each teacher and the commitment is one to two hours each month.

Students learn art history, art appreciation and art concepts and

“My passion for kids and art comes from the artist in me. The early years of child development are critical for forming long-lasting skills in art and understanding the value of self-expression.

I believe that I can pass on my knowledge of art and make a difference in their lives. As for my persistent pursuit, the more kids I can reach the better because every kid deserves the chance to discover their talent!”

“See you next week Mr. McPherson!” Amelia said, holding on to her art portfolio.

“Mommy, I just love working with Mr. McPherson and doing art,” Amelia exclaimed, as we headed home. The smile on her face was a million miles long and full of promise.

We live in a city known for its amazing force of volunteers.

Given Kevin’s patience, talent and tenacity, I have no doubt one day soon all elementary school kids will have access to an artdocent program like Kennydale’s.

elements which help improve critical thinking, problem solving and social skills. High school students who take one or more years of art produce higher scores on the SAT,” Kevin said, as he turned his attention back to Amelia.

“You did a really great job today, Amelia,” Kevin said, as he began collating Amelia’s work.

Surrounded by the framed art of Kevin and his children, it wasn’t hard to see where Kevin’s passion for the art-docent program comes from.

Art’s effect on kids cannot be measured in widgets and quantitative data.

I can see its effects on my own kids and as a mom to four who has spent a lot of time volunteering in elementary schools I have seen its

effects on their peers and I can remember how art of all genres had a lasting effect on me as a kid.

I vividly remember the art I created in elementary school: ripping old newspapers into strips and slathering the strips with sticky goo onto a blown-up balloon and when it dried, we painted the “globe.” I didn’t know I was learning about geography – I was just having fun. Or gluing macaroni to a paper plate and spraying it with silver and gold spray paint. Having the freedom to create my own story on brightly colored construction paper. Art and creativity were the things I looked forward to in school.

“Currently, there are just three of 14 elementary schools in the Renton School District with a volunteer art-docent program, creating a need to promote and implement the art-docent program throughout the district,” Kevin explained.

This past November, with a little help from an Allied Arts grant, Kevin submitted a proposal to the Renton School District detailing a plan of action to provide an artdocent curriculum for all the other 11 Renton elementary schools that currently don’t have an organized volunteer program. The proposal includes a request for funding to create a part-time position for Kevin to facilitate this process.

“I believe we need to create equal access to art education for all students and I am excited to spearhead this effort. I’ve enjoyed my time as a volunteer. But this position is bigger than a volunteer position. I want to grow it into what it really deserves, so all kids in Renton have access to art.

Kevin is still optimistically awaiting a response from the Renton School District to his proposal.

“Honestly, how do you keep the

“I’m looking anywhere — is there anyone out there to support my cause?” Kevin McPherson said recently. Though I didn’t know him well, he wore a determined expression tinged with mild bewilderment – a “does-not-compute” look.

Kevin’s urgent plea sounded desperate — but not without hope — like a distress call sent across the airwaves of a destroyed landscape in some dystopian movie featuring aliens or zombies.

Thankfully, Kevin and I were just talking about kids and art in Renton, something he is knowledgeable and passionate about.

And I was sitting comfortably on a couch watching my 9-yearold Amelia finishing up her weekly art lesson in Kevin’s art studio that also doubles as the family home.

I had come to know Kevin from a referral. I was looking for oneon-one art instruction for Amelia.

As it turns out, Kevin was a perfect match — talented artist meets PTA dad who understands and respects the importance of kids and art. The Kennydale home that he shares with his wife and three kids, Vivian, 11, Olivia, 9, and Wesley, 4, is a brightly colored space filled with light and warmth.

Amelia loved going there.

Kevin’s daughters Vivian and Olivia are both students at Kennydale Elementary School, an elementary school that was in the news recently for academic excellence, and Kevin has been a volunteer art docent at Kennydale for seven years.

“I believe the art program we have created at Kennydale has a lot to do with Kennydale Elementary’s

RapidRide line serving city delayed

tcompton@rentonreporter.com

A trial date may be in sight for the man who is charged with murdering 17-year-old Jessica Scholl last May. Jarod Lane is charged with first-degree murder and firstdegree arson in Scholl’s death.

Lane is the former boyfriend of the slain Lindbergh High School junior.

Earlier this month a continuance was requested by the attorneys for suspect Lane and granted. Lane was arraigned in June 2012 and a spokesman for the King County Prosecutor’s Office said a delay in a trial date is not unusual for cases like this. “(It’s) not unusual for those case settings to get continued several times,” Jarod Lane said Dan Donohoe, spokesman for the prosecutor’s office.

There have been several continuances since Lane’s June arraignment. The May 8 case-setting hearing is the next opportunity for a trial date to be set, although Donohoe has received feedback from Don Raz, the senior deputy prosecutor on the case, that Raz is unclear if a trial date will actually be set on May 8.

On the morning of May 25, 2012, prosecutors allege Lane, 19 at the time, murdered Scholl in her family home in Renton by injuring her head and neck multiple times and then he set fire to a couch in the residence. Emergency crews responded to a fire at the home and discovered Scholl’s body.

Lane went on the run after and was arrested 2,000 miles away in Oklahoma City on May 28. He is being held at the King County Jail in Seatlle.

and the technology is tested and working,” Desmond said. Rider amenities needed before launching the service include next bus arrival signs and ORCA card readers at stations, as well as coordinated traffic signals for buses.

“We learned clear lessons after the rocky launch for the C and D lines last year and are taking these steps so things go smoother for our customers with these lines,” Desmond said.

Both RapidRide E and F lines previously were scheduled to launch September 2013. Under the new schedule, RapidRide E will begin service in February 2014, replacing the existing Route 358 which carries nearly 12,000 weekday riders between Shoreline and downtown Seattle. RapidRide F now is slated to launch in June 2014, replacing Route 140 between Burien, Sea Tac, Tukwila and Renton. Route 140 carries about 3,500 weekday riders.

By revising the launch schedule, RapidRide service will better be able to provide the speed and reliability riders expect. The F Line is planned to travel on corridors where a handful of major street and regional transit projects are under way. Those projects are scheduled to wrap up in spring 2014. Waiting to launch RapidRide F Line until after that work is complete avoids reroutes that would have added time and delay to service. The E Line will face similar challenges with construction in Shoreline and Seattle along the Aurora Avenue corridor. However, that construction, while it will create some delays, will not result in alternate routing.

.com

King County Metro Transit has revised the scheduled launch dates for the RapidRide E and F lines, allowing time to complete needed construction on facility upgrades and features that will make future service more reliable.

Before launching service, construction is needed on over 100 bus stops and stations and upgraded transit signals at more than 60 intersections – which stretch across two corridors, 21 miles and six cities.

Metro reviewed and revised the construction timelines with cities to reflect the complexity of the work needed to launch service on these two lines, said Kevin Desmond, Metro Transit general manager.

“Our customers will agree that it’s better for us to reschedule the launch of service until everything is complete

● QUOTE OF NOTE:

“Our life has been totally shaken up, stirred and mixed around.“ Richard Randquist Chung, on losing his Renton home to the I-405 project

Bus pass will help those in need traverse ‘food desert’ As I was growing up, there seemed to be a million movies that involved characters getting lost in the desert, roaming about, trying desperately to find food and water. Some of the movies were comedies – some were adventure films. But they were all just movies and not real life.

In today’s world, however, something similar exists for real all across this country. They are called “food deserts.” Food deserts are large geographic areas where people don’t have access to stores with fresh and affordable food. This isn’t a problem for most of us with cars. But for the disadvantaged among us, it’s a real problem.

Imagine for a moment that you needed formula for your baby, but the closest store was more than two miles away.

Now imagine that you don’t have transportation. How would you get there? Perhaps you have a bus line close by.

Would it drop you (and the baby) off at the front door? Or would you have to take two or three buses to get there?

Would you have to pay a taxi? Ask a friend?

Walk?

Let’s take it a step further. Maybe you have a doctor’s appointment for a chronic health problem. Or a job interview. What if you had been unemployed for six months and finally landed a job, but didn’t have transportation to get there?

How long do you think you’d keep that job?

Last year, the Renton Community Foundation held a series of community roundtables to assess the need for human services in the greater Renton area. A common theme we heard was the “lack” of transportation. It crosses all boundaries: the hungry, the homeless, at-risk kids.

You might ask, “What’s wrong with this picture?” How can we get people back to work in this country if they don’t have a way to get there?

How can we guarantee that kids go to school with a full stomach if their parents can’t get to the store to buy food? How can we expect struggling kids to get off the streets if they can’t get to For good, for ever

their counseling appointments?

Here is one simple solution. We’re calling it the Car Tab – Bus Pass Program.

For the next 18 months, King County Metro is promoting riding the bus. They will send you eight free bus passes when you renew your car tabs, hoping you will use the passes to actually ride the bus. But you must request them first (one set per household). Tucked in the envelope with your new car tabs will be a yellow notice.

You can have the bus passes sent directly to you, OR you can donate them to a “pool” for regional nonprofits. To access this pool, however, the nonprofits have to pay 20 percent of the cost.

A better soluFoundation online tion is to have http://www.rentonfoundation.org/ the bus passes sent directly to you. Then, if you don’t plan to use them, you can do one of two things. 1) Give them directly to a local nonprofit, OR 2) send them to the Renton Community Foundation. We will immediately distribute them to local organizations that will put them to good use.

Take action! Help us get people out of the “food” desert – or any other kind of desert - and to where they need to go. Give them a bus pass.

If you do, you’ll be giving the gift of transportation to someone who may desperately need it.

Lynn Bohart is executive director of the Renton Community Foundation. She can be reached via email at lbohart@rentonfoundation.org.

Hope this doesn’t happen to you | Our view

R

arely do you see an injustice hit so close to home – literally.

But think about Richard and Lori Randquist Chung. They found the home of their dreams, at a price they could afford, for themselves and their three kids, Christian, Ariana, Moriah, on Talbot Hill.

They saw the closeness of Interstate 405

as an advantage.

Now I-405 is what’s going to force them from their home. The state is building a new interchange, with a flyover, at that awful meeting of 405 and State Route 167. The plan has been studied for years. Now it’s a reality and it’s a shame that the Randquist Chung family wasn’t at least given a heads-

up that a freeway was headed their way.

They have little recourse now, other than to find a new home. But those who had a hand in the planning, permitting, building and selling of their home and at least one other in the new development need to think long and hard about what they should have done differently to protect them from such

an outcome.

Certainly we need to improve our freeways in the region. And those improvements are going to impact people and their homes and businesses and their fortunes.

The sad story of Richard and Lori and their kids is a reminder we need to move openly as we develop our region.

Skyway to get new supermarket West Hill residents will finally have their own supermarket again, starting this week.

A Grocery Outlet store is opening at the Skyway Park Shopping Center at 11656 68th Ave. S., at the corner of Renton Avenue South.

A ribbon cutting was Wednesday. A pallet of groceries was donated to Seattle’s Miracles Food Bank and Outreach and St. Stephens the Martyr Catholic Church in Renton.

A free grand opening celebration is 8 a.m.-3 p.m., Saturday, March 23, and will include prize giveaways. Additional festivities include family activities, free morning coffee and treats, and a $1 hot dog and beverage sale, with proceeds benefiting VFW Skyway Post 9430.

Erin and Jeff McNeil, the owners and operators of the new store, also own a Grocery Outlet

in the Renton Highlands.

“For more than five years, Skyway residents have not had the luxury and convenience of a local supermarket,” said Jeff McNeil. “With the opening of our new Grocery Outlet in Skyway, no longer do these residents need to travel miles away to get fresh produce, organic goods, USDA-certified meats and everyday essentials, all at a bargain price. ” Grocery Outlet stores offer with prices up to 50 percent less than conventional supermarkets and retailers, according to the company.

The McNeils, who have more than 50 years of combined experience in grocery retail, will customize the store’s décor to reflect the local community’s history. The retro, musically themed design and décor will fully debut in mid-April.

Boeing rolls out first 737 from increased production line

Ryanair orders $15.6 billion in Airplanes

Boeing on Tuesday announced that Ryanair has committed to order 175 Next-Generation 737-800s for the airline’s fleet expansion.

When finalized, the agreement will be worth $15.6 billion at list prices and will be posted to the Boeing Orders & Deliveries website as a firm order.

“This agreement is an amazing testament to the value that the NextGeneration 737 brings to Ryanair,” said Boeing Commercial Airplanes President & CEO Ray Conner.

“We are pleased that the Next-Generation 737, as the most efficient, most reliable large single-aisle airplane flying today, has been and will continue to be the cornerstone of the Ryanair fleet. Our partnership with this great European lowcost carrier is of the utmost importance to everyone at The Boeing Company and I could not be more proud to see it extended for years to come.”

Ryanair is Europe’s leading low-cost airline and is based in Ireland.

Boeing on Monday rolled out the first NextGeneration 737 built at the new production rate of 38 airplanes a month.

Panamanian customer Copa Airlines will take delivery of the 737-800 in early April.

The airplane will now undergo functional, systems and flight testing over the next three weeks before being delivered.

Boeing is in the process of increasing the production rate on its 737 program from 35 to 38 airplanes per month because of market

The McNeils are involved in the West Hill Business Association, the West Hill Community Association, and the Renton Chamber of Commerce.

At approximately 15,500 square feet, the new Grocery Outlet will feature an expanded natural, organic, specialty and healthy (NOSH) section, as well as fully-stocked produce, milk, meat, specialty cheeses, wine and vitamin departments.

“In addition to offering our customers deeply discounted prices and quality products, we strive to create a very personal, comfortable, neighborhood shopping experience for our customers, atypical from the usual discount atmosphere,” said McNeil.

Surviving The Crucible awaits, a 700-feet peak in Camp Pendleton, a Marine base 49 miles north of San Diego.

At the top waits the ultimate prize — the Marine Corps emblem, the Eagle, Globe and Anchor. It is bestowed in a ceremony that marks the completion of The Crucible and the first time the recruit is officially called a Marine.

“When I reached the very top my senior drill instructor told me to control my emotions,” said David Gubarik, a Marine from Auburn. “I kept a straight face but inside I had tears of joy in my heart. It was an incredible feeling like nothing I’ve ever felt before.”

T

hey call it The Crucible.

For a Marine Corps recruit, it is the final test, the last chance to prove he has the physical and mental toughness to become a United States Marine.

For 54 hours, recruits make their way through The Crucible. Operating on just four hours of sleep a night and three meals, they will march more than 40 miles to confront physical and mental tasks conceived to simulate the rigors of combat.

“This is it, this is everything they have learned, and they are tested on it,” said Col. Robert W. Gates, Chief of Staff for Marine Corps Recruit Training San Diego. “It all goes toward determining if the recruit has the mental toughness to become a Marine.”

lthough every male Marine recruit west of the Mississippi begins his training at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD) San Diego – females and males from the east go to MCRD Parris Island in South Carolina – the actual journey begins when they sign their enlistment papers at the local recruiting office.

Because of the small size of the Corps, just over 200,000 active duty Marines currently serving, that means most join on a deferred basis.

For Shane Rogers, a recruit from Enumclaw, that meant several months between his enlistment and his actual reporting day in January to prepare for the mental and physical requirements of Marine training.

recruiting office in Covington, Rogers used his time wisely.

“They got me pretty physically fit and taught me all my general orders and rank structure before I left,” Rogers said. “They prepared me pretty well.”

In January, Rogers caught a plane from SeaTac Airport bound for MCRD San Diego.

Soon the new recruits were on the road, heading for MCRD and the yellow footprints, the starting place for every Marine who joins the Corps.

“We got on the bus and had to sit with our heads between our legs,” Rogers said. “Then we got there, got yelled at and got lined up on the yellow footprints. Then we took off our regular clothes, put on camo bottoms and PT tops. We got our heads shaved and started all looking the same and split up into different platoons.”

oon the shock of being a recruit wears off and the real business of training begins.

By the time recruits become Marines after 13 weeks of boot camp, they are honed to a fine edge physically, able to sprint 880 yards wearing boots in less than 3 minutes and 48 seconds. They are able to lift a 30-pound ammo can from the chest over the head 45 times in 2 minutes. They can perform the maneuver-under-fire event – a 300yard shuttle run where recruits carry two 30-pound ammo cans for more than 100 yards and simulate a rescue of a wounded comrade all while zig-zagging and crawling through a marked course – in under 3:29.

They will have spent hours training in the Marine Martial Arts Program and become proficient in unarmed combat.

Hours will be spent on a rifle range, learning how to fire the M16A4 service rifle accurately out to 500 yards.

learn how to think like a Marine and gain a self-confidence cultured by drill instructors over the past 10 weeks.

“I don’t wake up thinking I want to go home,” Rogers said. “I just wake up thinking about what’s next.”

After The Crucible, the newly minted Marines will graduate with the rest of their recruit company. They will march at the central parade grounds in dress uniform for the first time. After retiring the platoon guidons, the flags they have carried for the past 13 weeks, the Marines will be dismissed.

After a 10-day leave to return to home and visit family and friends, it’s off to Marine Combat Training at Camp Pendleton where they become a combat ready infantryman.

Then they will attend a school to learn their job in the military and be assigned a duty station where they will serve as an active-duty Marine for the next four years.

After that, it’s four years as a reservist.

For many, the Marines are an opportunity to serve their country while bettering themselves.

That holds true for Stormy Starkey, a recruit from Kent.

“I’m grateful for the opportunity,” Starkey said. “I don’t regret it at all. You don’t really see any kids here who do. It’s a life-changing experience. I can already feel myself changing for the better as far as growing and becoming disciplined. I’m definitely changing as a person.”

Crash Cinema demystifies filmmaking The Seattle International Film Festival is looking for a few filmmakers, experienced or not, who want to learn how to strip away the “mystery” of making a film.

The famed festival, which for the third year is showing about two dozen films in Renton in May, is now bringing its Crash Cinema to Renton on Saturday, March 30.

The basic concept is that the filmmakers will take a three-minute film from concept to screening at the Renton Civic Theatre – all in one day.

“The Crash Cinema is for everyone, that means sometimes professional filmmakers show up with all their gear or someone shows up who has no idea where to begin and that is how we like it,” said Arianne Garden Vazquez, the SIFF Film Center education coordinator.

Earlier this week there were five confirmed participants, including one who competed in the Renton FilmFrenzy.

“Since there is no fee and deadline to participate, at least twice that number is expected,” said Preeti Shridhar, a spokeswoman for the City of Renton.

The city has mailed information to previous FilmFrenzy participants and the Renton School District is promoting the event through the film and video program.

The filmmakers provide their own equipment. Individuals and teams can sign up.

Teams will assemble at 9 a.m. March 30 at the Renton History Museum, 235 Mill Ave. S., where the five Crash elements will be chosen randomly. Crash elements must be incorporated into the films and all teams will have the same elements.

The biggest challenge is time management, said Vazquez.

“To avoid time crunches, we offer a schedule to teams at the start of the event,” she said.

At 5 p.m., after a day of filming, each Crash film will be turned in on a flash drive to event coordinators at the Renton Civic Theatre, 507 S. Third St., where a Crash Cinema Wrap Party and Screening will take place until 7 p.m.

Vazquez says her interest as the SIFF education coordinator “is rooted in democratizing the creative process and building a community of cinema lovers. We want to engage

Hazen picks up two wins

The King County Library System has completed schematic drawings of a new downtown library that show a smaller space and a new entryway. KCLS responds to its customers; will you listen to us?”

Trustee President Lucy Krakowiak and Trustees Robin McClelland, Jessica Bonebright, Rob Spitzer and Library Director Bill Ptacek were present. Some took notes during the public comments.

Palmer, the Renton City Council member, shook her head in agreement as residents made their case.

“Welcome to my world; this is what we get every Monday night,” Palmer said about council meetings, when she took the floor.

She described the unhappy marriage that has existed with KCLS and the community since Renton annexed into the system in 2010 in a narrow election. Palmer also relayed that citizens are pursuing a process to de-annex from KCLS, which was announced at a City Council meeting.

“I don’t think it has ever happened, but I don’t think you know Renton,” Palmer said. “This is too important to our community.”

David Keyes and Beth Asher, members of a citizens group reviewing the library project, accused the KCLS project team of deceptive behavior and asked the trustees to step in and provide oversight.

KCLS explains reasons behind entry move A proposed new entryway and smaller size for the downtown library over the Cedar River are angering community residents.

The conceptual plans for the downtown library have been presented by the King County Library System, which include moving the main entry from the pedestrian bridge to near the parking lot.

The bridge would remain, but it would be suspended away from the library build-

The KCLS project team will give a design presentation Tuesday, March 26, at

the downtown library.

In a conference call with the Renton Reporter, KCLS staff responded to the community’s concerns about certain design elements.

Now KCLS officials are urging caution when talking about the design elements of the downtown library because they say it’s too early in the process. The project team is now in the schematic design phase, which means they actually have sketches of ideas.

Those sketches reveal some drastic changes to the present design.

“When we say the design, we mean the schematic design of the library,” Julie Brand said. She is KCLS’ community relations and marketing director. “People keep using this word ‘design’ and we’re nowhere near the design phase.”

KCLS Library Director Bill Ptacek expressed eagerness to get feedback from the community and see how the project team might accommodate individuals’ concerns.

He recognizes the uniqueness of the original design of the library over the river.

“Our goal is to make this library function so future

Asher said her group has been given partial information, no information and at times outdated information by KCLS. She said she has evidence KCLS has overcharged the City of Renton for work done on the previous downtown library location, the former Big 5 site.

Asher also stated that different plans were presented to City Council members at a February council retreat than plans that have been proposed for the actual demolition of the library over the Cedar River. Asher said there are discrepancies in what the project team is planning and what they are presenting to people.

The meeting room at the Newcastle Library was filled to overflowing as Renton residents tried to convince KCLS trustees to not make any changes to the downtown library entry. Brian Beckley, Renton Reporter generations can say the same thing,” Ptacek said about community attachment to the building. “I don’t know that there will be another library built over a river in the U.S. We’ve got to get it as right as we can with the construction constraints that we’re dealing with.”

Those constraints have dictated some design decisions the project team has had to make, Ptacek said.

“We had no idea where the entrance was going to be, but we do know there are such things as ADA (American with Disabilities Act) requirements, operations issues and on top of

When asked by audience members to respond, Ptacek said all the concerns would be addressed at a public meeting on March 26. Greg Smith, KCLS facilities director, also tried to quell the audience, saying “You don’t know all the facts.”

After Ptacek tried to step in, the audience directed its questions to the trustees instead for a response. People requested a delay of the March 26 presentation by KCLS and asked the trustees to carefully consider Tuesday night’s testimonies.

Krakowiak attempted to reel back in the audience, saying she would attend the meeting next week. Trustee Spitzer also acknowledged the group, saying he is not informed about all of this and would think it through. McClelland

that how do we do it in such a way that maximizes the space,” said Ptacek. “Where do the utilities come into the building? That dictates where the staff elements come into the building.”

The smaller building footprint is the result of issues with the current columns and crossbars.

After the exchange and outside of the meeting, Palmer expressed some satisfaction for how things transpired.

She said she is feeling more positive that trustee members are going to show up next week.

“Because my initial reaction was let’s just not come,” Palmer said. “Because if they’re just going to get up and tell us what they’re going to do, which is all they’ve done in the past, why waste our time. I will go because it sounds like the trustees are open to give and take and that’s what we need to have.”

How much water is enough? As a general rule, the amount of water your child should consume (ounces) a day is equal to half their total body weight in pounds.

and factors such as utilities forced the project team to relocate the main entry next to the parking lot, he said.

“In a sense we really don’t have a choice,” said Ptacek.

The proposed design has ignited a new debate between residents, who have been closely following the project’s progress and the project team.

Members of the citizens group Save the Renton Library Again! have regularly attended the library briefings and are reviewing project documents and work through requests for information.

They are skeptical KCLS and the City of Renton will build the library that citizens have asked for at the present location, they say. The group has about 25 members.

“I just think if people knew that they have not kept faith with us, they would be furious,” said Beth Asher, member of the citizens group.

Asher and other members are seeking multiple avenues to address their concerns.

The group believes the community wants a redesigned library with at least the same square footage and the

entrance where it’s presently located.

At the last library briefing in February, tension spilled over. Members of the public expressed frustration at the preliminary direction of certain design elements as they understood them.

Although some design elements are a given that the project team can’t do much about, there are still decisions to make about space planning, Ptacek said.

He said that in the past KCLS has received feedback from the community that’s caused them to go back to the architects to revise plans.

“We’re excited about it,” Ptacek said about moving forward. “We think that this has the chance of being that library for the next couple of generations.”

He did say that now they are a little over budget, but he thinks they can work with it. Ptacek wants to get the project to bid as soon as possible because construction costs are going up.

Ptacek said there is no formal document the design team has crafted yet, because the team is just now starting to conceptualize what the new downtown library will look like.

ect engineer and lead designer on the project.

To correct the problem of freeway traffic merging with local traffic throughout the confusing clover leaf of an exit, the state made plans to completely revamp the entire interchange, including the addition of a direct connector between 167 and 405, to make it easier for the large number of cars that use that stretch of roadway every day.

The new flyover would require some expansion of the freeway and would have to cut into the Talbot Hill neighborhood, but the location of the road and retaining wall would have only cut through what was then a single large parcel of land with a single owner.

But because the entire corridor project was so expensive – about $1.5 billion – the project was divided into “logical constructible WSDOT plans to rebuild the entire SR167-I405 interchange, seen here in an artist’s rendering provided by the pieces” with plans to work state.

original property owner, Louis Malesis. According to Richard, he sat at their kitchen table and explained that he had known of the project, but since there was no funding, he did not worry about it. He offered the Randquist Chungs another lot at a reduced price, but the family is not interested.

They simply kept asking how this had happened.

“I felt anger because I didn’t think we should’ve have been able to purchase this house,” Lori said.

Real estate agent Kim Mazzuca, who is handling the homes in the neighborhood for John L. Scott Realty of Renton, was also surprised to find out about the highway.

“I was really upset,” she said.

Mazzuca was about to close on another home in the neighborhood when the news came from the builder.

Since then, not only has she had to tell the Randquist Chungs the news about their house, the deal on the next home up the hill fell through when the buyers learned about the freeway project.

Mazzuca said she had asked the seller and developer about the freeway and was told that WSDOT had decided against the expansion and the homes could be sold without a problem.

Mazzuca said calling

Richard and Lori was “one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do” and said she was also shocked and embarrassed by the news.

“I would have never been up there selling those houses if I thought this was going to happen,” she said.

“I’ve been doing this for 25 years. This has never happened.”

But what struck Richard and Lori, as well as Mazzuca, most was the surprise of it. How was it no one had mentioned the freeway expansion?

“Just tell me I’m buying a house that potentially going to be acquired,” Richard said.

But in reality, the Randquists Chungs were caught in something of a legal gray area.

City’s hands tied For the City of Renton, the I-405 reconstruction project has been a longtime coming. Despite some impacts to the city — like when the famous “S Curves” were rebuilt in the 1990s, impacting Renton Hill — the project is vital to the city’s interests to keep commerce moving in and around the area.

“It’s been a high priority for the city for decades now because of the fact that the most-congested interchange in the state is 167-405,” said [ more I-405 page 15 ]

March 22, 2013 [15]

www.rentonreporter.com [ I-405 from page 14] Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman.

But even though the city knew of and supported the project, with no funding, technically the $335 million connector project was still not happening. It may have been on the books for “years and years and years,” but without funding, the city was not in a position to tell the landowners to not use their land.

“We legally can’t stop people from exercising their right to use their property,” Zimmerman said. “By law we are constrained.”

In 2007, prior to the approval of the WSDOT environmental document but after the work was completed and submitted, the city received, processed and approved the Lake View Short Plat, as the Talbot Hill neighborhood is officially known.

Even after the environmental document was approved in 2008, the city still could not tell people not to build on their land, as without funding it literally could have been decades before WSDOT got around to the project.

There was extensive outreach in the early part of the decade, as well as right around the environmental project’s approval, but then “everything goes quiet for a couple of years” while the state waits for funding, Zimmerman said.

“There’s this period of time between 2008 and now where we, as government agencies, have to be very quiet about things,” Zimmerman said, adding again that the city was legally prohibited from talking about potential projects. “Even as we speak, WSDOT doesn’t have money for that project.”

It was in that time period that the plat was approved and the homes began to be built.

“If we denied the property owner the right to subdivide or to build houses, we are basically denying use of that property,” he said, adding “I really feel bad for those people.”

Relocation and recourse It’s only been a few weeks, but the Randquist Chungs have accepted that they will have to move. The funding released last summer allows the state to begin purchasing right-of-way and that means it will soon be moving day again for the family of five.

“We’ve written off the house,” Richard said.

The next step, according to everyone involved, is

I-405 can be seen beyond the house where construction has been halted in the Lake View Short Plat. Brian Beckley, Renton Reporter working with WSDOT’s relocation team to agree on “fair market value” for their home and to work to find the Randquist Chungs a “comparable house.”

For Richard, the focus now is finding a new home, one that he knows will probably not be as nice as the one they found, or at the price they found it.

“I found a diamond in the rough,” he said.

Along with the close proximity to work – which keeps gas money low for the couple who take multiple trips to and from the business each day in order to check on and spend time with their kids — Richard said every “comparable house” they have looked at — four-bedroom, three-and-a-half baths, three-car garage, fireplace, “bonus room,” triple-paned windows, wood trim — are all coming in at least $250,000 more than they paid for their home

and none of them are anywhere near work.

“Am I going to have a lesser quality of life for my children just because of a 405 expansion that I should have been told about?” Richard asked.

While WSDOT officials have been “cordial” and “responsive,” the couple are still worried they are not going to be able to replace the house they expected to be their home. Their two oldest children cried when they heard they were going to have to move.

“It’s not the house that’s the matter, it’s the home we’re building here,” Richard said.

The Randquist Chungs have requested to be moved before the beginning of the next school year, so as to cause as little disruption as possible to the kids.

The officials at WSDOT feel their pain.

Cieri said WSDOT will follow the federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Property Acquisitions Policies Act and the Randquist Chungs will get a fair value for their home, though she realizes that is not the only concern.

“I totally get that it took them three years to find that house and they’re not going to find it again,” Cieri said.

“We’ll do the very best we can.”

The Randquist Chungs are also looking into their legal options and questioning who should have told them what and when regarding their home, though Richard said again the couple is caught in a strange limbo, since technically speaking, nothing has happened yet.

The Renton Reporter made attempts to contact Malesis, but he did not respond in time for this story.

For now, the Randquist Chungs are going on with their lives and spending their time searching for a new home and this time they have some advice for themselves and anyone else in the market for a house: search the internet for upcoming projects in the area, and if all else fails: “Don’t move close to the highway,” Lori said.
