Helping babies, moms in crisis Valley Med drill simulates common birth emergencies By TRACEY COMPTON

This infant mannequin that breathes, changes color, cries and responds to delivery staff was used to train Valley Medical Birth Center employees. tracey compton, Renton Reporter

tcompton@rentonreporter.com

Doctors, nurses and staff in Valley Medical’s Birth Center Tuesday participated in simulation training

for emergencies a woman might face when delivering a baby. More than 60 hospital staff went through the drills facilitated by The Doctors Company, a Californiabased, medical-malpractice insurance company. The training simulated three frequently experienced obstetrical emergencies: shoulder dislocation, neonatal resuscitation and postpar-

tum hemorrhage. Expensive mannequins, with motorized parts, fake blood, and sound effects helped the staff learn. The baby mannequin’s chest inflates to simulate breathing; it also changes color and cries depending on what happens in the exercise. While some Valley staff did the [ more Drill page 11]

St. Anthony’s ‘Mrs. O’ is top teacher

St. Anthony School teacher Mary Ormiston, surrounded by her students at sixth-grade camp this week, won the ‘Best Teacher’ category in the Renton Reporter’s ‘Best Of’ contest. Ormiston was at the camp outside of Tacoma when she got the news. Stephen Bucheit

By TRACEY COMPTON tcomtpon@rentonreporter.com

Mary Ormiston, of St. Anthony School, was voted “Best Renton Teacher” in the Renton Reporter’s “Best Of Renton” contest this week. Ormiston has been a teacher with the school for all of her 39 years in the profession. She’s taught fourth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades. When she got the news earlier this week, she was camping with her sixth-graders outside of Tacoma. “How wonderful,” she said, in a phone interview. “It’s quite a surprise and a

nice honor.” Ormiston currently teaches science and social studies to all 59 sixth-graders at St. Anthony. She’s also in charge of student leadership. Ormiston is fondly called “Mrs. O” by students, according to staff. “We are all very excited for her as well,” said Karen Kranz, in an email. Kranz is St. Anthony’s development director. “She is a wonderful teacher and very special person and this acknowledgement is well deserved!” Ormiston has been taking students to sixth-grade camp for 20 years. There they do group-building exercises and challenge courses. Students recognize at

camp that they can do more than they think they can, she said. The students also find they have more things in common with each other than they thought, Ormiston added. “I’ve always, ever since I was little, have wanted to become a teacher; I don’t know why,” she said. “It’s always been my goal. It’s been a great 39 years.” Some days are more challenging than others for Ormiston, but she has her mantra to keep her motivated. “My mantra is ‘life is good,’ so I have to find something good in something negative,” she said. “So, I look for the good in everything and keep on moving.”

Back before it was part of the City of Renton, the Cascade Village shopping center served a geographic and commercial center for the Benson Hill neighborhood and a new plan from the city hopes to recreate that experience for the neighborhood. “People remember that, they know it and they want it to be that again,” said Senior Planner Erika Conkling. The new Benson Hill Community Plan, to be presented to the City Council Monday, calls for creating a community heart and focus in the neighborhood and because of its centralized location, “We’re focusing Cascade Village is a lot on Cascade at the middle of the Village because it’s discussion. traditionally been “We’re focusing a lot on Cascade Village that community heart.” Senior Planner because it’s traditionally been that commuErika Conkling nity heart,” Conkling said. Work on the Benson Hill Community Plan began more than a year ago and while it is taking longer than expected to complete, Conkling said that is because of an extensive outreach effort in the community, which has a high percentage of the population for whom English is not their native language.

The search for missing Renton dentist Mitch Hungate wasn’t expected to resume until late this week because another large avalanche occurred near the one that buried him on April 13, the King County Sheriff ’s Office indicated midweek. Hungate’s famDr. Mitch Hungate ily had hoped the search would resume Monday, with the improved weather in the Cascades. “We are hoping the warm weather melts much of the snow the next few days,” said Sgt. Cindi West, a spokeswoman for the Sheriff ’s Office, early in the week. Hungate, who has been a dentist in Renton for about 30 years, was lost in the avalanche on Granite Mountain. Two men with

him survived with minor injuries. Hungate, 61, who lives in the Lake Tapps area, has practiced in Renton for about 30 years and has served the community, including as president of the Renton Rotary Club. Dr. Derick Hahn has worked with him at their office on Southwest Grady Way for about five years. Hungate’s wife Marilyn will return to the Cascades when the search resumes. Hungate was hiking with two other men, both 31, when they were caught by surprise by an avalanche on Granite Mountain at about 12:40 p.m. April 13.

Classrooms today rarely like those ‘in my day’ “In my day” if you talked in class, it resulted in a slap on the hand with a ruler. Throwing a snowball at someone in anger at recess usually resulted in making 100 snowballs with your bare hands after school. With the exception of a few holidays, you went to school for a full nine months. And, we weren’t asked to “turn off ” anything, just “tune in.” Admittedly, today’s level and advancement in education is far superior than anything I experienced. But the challenges for today’s teachers are equally far superior than in the past. Providing instruction to a diverse, impatient and energized group of children who have been enabled, have a long list of “rights,” and are used to the instant gratification that technology provides, can challenge even the most dedicated of teachers. Basically we still expect teachers to do their job – impart knowledge or skill to an ever-expanding classroom of children with different ethnicity, learning and behavior abilities. But, in these times, we have come to expect more from teachers with additional responsibilities resembling that of many other professions. Teachers are expected to provide safety in the classroom and playground so that conflicts, bullying and threat of harm will be dealt with swiftly and fairly – like a policeman. Teachers are expected to recognize and deal with unique health and mental problems in children by finding ways to help them – like a counselor. Teachers are expected to be knowledgeable of, and timely in executing, all local and state requirements so that our children can pass tests and graduate – like an administrator. Teachers are expected to provide some levity and interesting ways to engage children’s interest – like an entertainer or a computer game. Teachers are expected to provide support and encouragement to children who lack that in their personal life – like a mentor or confidant. Teachers are expected to be continually learning in order to keep up with an ever changing world – like a student. “In my day” it took my parents to the next report card to find out I was flunking a subject or misbehaving in class. Today, teachers are required to input student behavior and progress online for access by parents at any time, including e-mailing and texting parents when there are issues. “In my day” our school year was nine months long with the occasional holiday – that’s “day,” not weeks. The current stop-n-go schedule of the average school district, with all of its half-days, teacher workshops, snow days, holidays and week-long breaks, makes [ more gregory page 7 ]

Teachers not baby-sitters

Renton

[ GREGORY from page 6] it impossible to obtain any instruction consistency without constant repetition of what was just learned. “In my day” we wore uniforms. Teachers weren’t distracted by what we wore because from the neck down, we all looked alike. This allowed them to focus on us – our individuality, our faces, expressions, thoughts and words. Today it is hard for teachers to concentrate on children’s minds, when sometimes all they see are body parts hanging out of their clothes. As you can see, there is more to teachers than data and “show me how” skills. Contrary to what many might believe, they are not high-priced baby sitters but professional educators. To truly understand the multiple aspects of a teacher’s job, I encourage you to visit a classroom, chaperone a field trip, and attend school events or sports activities. I think you will be amazed at the tremendous things happening in the classroom, co-existing with tremendous challenges. The ones holding it all together are teachers. May 7 is National Teacher Appreciation Day – a perfect day to say “thanks” for their dedication and inspiration.

Letters to the editor Donate organ, save a life for Donate Life Month The month of April rings in Donate Life Month across the nation, a time for each of us to give a few extra moments to consider organ donation. Consider those who are waiting (more than 110,000 people nationwide); those who have received this precious gift; and especially those who gave others a second chance at life. My husband, Johnathan, didn’t have to think twice when he was first asked about organ donation at the DOL. He was enthusiastic about doing his part to do something good for others as was his nature and character. We had talked about this as a couple and we both felt strongly that it was the most practical and giving thing to do. Never did I imagine that our family would come face to face with this reality so early in life. Johnathan suffered massive strokes at the young age of 33. His final gifts saved 4 lives through the donation of his heart, liver, and kidneys. Our family was in a state of shock when we were asked about organ and tissue donation. I didn’t have the capacity to think of others – all I could think about were our small children and how they would never see their dad again. But almost 8 years later, I’m thankful that we honored his last wishes. His absence is less painful knowing that his legacy continues in the lives of those he’s saved. For me, donation was the right choice.

It is also the right choice for 1,600 of our Northwest neighbors who wait for a second chance at life. The wait for a lifesaving transplant continues to grow. One person is added to the list every 13 minutes, and, tragically, 18 people die every day waiting for a transplant. Consider is a verb, or an action word, meaning to think carefully about (something), typically before making a decision. In this month of reflection, I urge you to take the action needed to designate your wishes as an organ donor. Register today at www.lcnw.org.

Hospital commissioners are not serving us I’m not surprised at Anthony Hemstad’s resignation from the UW Board of Trustees. He and two fellow Valley Medical commissioners Paul Joos and Aaron Heide have been trying to sabotage the alliance with UW Medicine from day one – an outcome that would be very detrimental to us local residents. Given the state of our health care industry today, this alliance was an excellent move by the past Valley Medical Center Board for several reasons. It’s very unfortunate that these commissioners are behaving as they are. It’s clearly not in our best interest.

Neighbor foils home burglary An alert neighbor foiled two burglary suspects Monday when he called police after seeing one of the suspects walk out of a neighbor’s house with loot, according to the King County Sheriff ’s Office. The incident started Monday at around 11:30 p.m. in the 18800 block of 129 Place Southeast.The neighbor was in his front yard gardening when he saw a man walk up to his neighbor’s house, knock on the door and look into the windows, according to Sgt. Cindi West, a spokeswoman for the King County Sheriff ’s Office. The neighor knew that the homeowners were not home. The man who knocked on the door then walked around toward the back of the house. The neighbor immediately called 911. Within a few minutes the suspect exited the front door carrying items stolen from the house. The suspect walked down the street and got into a black Monte Carlo. Police arrived quickly and spotted the Monte Carlo leaving the area. A 23-year-old Kent man and a 30-year-old Auburn man were in the vehicle along with items stolen from the house. Both men were arrested and booked into the King County Jail.

King County Sexual Assault Resource Center exceeded its fundraising goal at a breakfast last week to raise money for therapy, legal advocacy and prevention programs. About 160 people attended the BE LOUD for Safe Communities breakfast at the Renton Pavilion Event Center on April 18. “We are very pleased; I think it went quite well,” said Alix Compton. She is the development operations manager for KCSARC. The event raised $30,500, but the goal was $30,000, which was a bit of a stretch, said Compton. Sonja Mejlaender was the emcee. Renton pediatrician Eric Chasley gave the audience advice as caregivers on how to talk about healthy sexuality and relationships with the goal of sexual-assault prevention. The audience participated in a live polling activity, texting in answers to questions posed by KCSARC in an onscreen presentation. As they answered questions, bars next to the answer choices got longer as votes came in.

Dr. Eric Chesley, of Group Health Cooperative, gives advice to attendees at the King County Sexual Assault Resource Center’s April 18 breakfast. Jennifer Richarde “People responded really positively to that because it was a way to participate in what was happening,” Compton said. All of the funds collected will go to ongoing support of the organizations’ programs. KCSARC has stayed pretty stable financially, said Compton. “Haven’t done an event in Renton for a year and a half, so it’s a good chance to reconnect with the community,” she said.

Anthony Hemstad has resigned as a member of the Board of Trustees that oversees the strategic alliance between Valley Medical Center and UW Medicine. Hemstad sat on the trustee board as a Public Hospital District No. 1 commissioner. He’s the second hospital district commissioner to resign as a trustee; Dr. Aaron Heide resigned last year. The trustees oversee the medical side of Valley Medical Center, while the elected commissioners oversee the hospital district’s assets, including the buildings themselves. The 13-member trustee board was structured to include all five hospital district commissioners. Commissioners still serving as trustees are Dr. Paul Joos, Carolyn Parnell and Sue Bowman. Hemstad couldn’t be reached for comment. He notified Joos and Lisa Jensen, who Anthony Hemstad chairs the board of trustees, on April 15 of his decision to resign. His email to them read: “As I’ve discussed with Paul over the past few months, I am now making my resignation from the Board of Trustees official. This resignation is effective immediately. “I am of course not resigning from my position as an elected Commissioner and will continue to be a very active member of the Board of Commissioners.” Jensen said there is no process for replacing elected commissioners who resign as trustees as this situation was not anticipated in the strategic alliance agreement. Hemstad voted against creation of the strategic alliance and along with Joos and Heide voted to take a legal challenge to the alliance to the state Supreme Court. Jensen said she’s disappointed that two of the elected commissioners have chosen to resign from the Valley Board of Trustees. “All five commissioners have a right to serve on that board so they can represent their constituents,” she said. “While Mr. Hemstad and Dr. Heide may not agree with the strategic alliance agreement with UW Medicine, it is the legal framework for operations.”

Museum wins heritage award The Renton History Museum received a Heritage Education Award from the Association of King County Heritage Organizations (AKCHO) for its 2012 exhibit, “Two By Two: Students Reinterpret Renton History.” The AKCHO awards ceremony was held at the Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI) in Seattle, where Museum Collection Manager Sarah Samson accepted the award for the Museum. Also attending were Derek Smith and three of the students who participated in the exhibit, Kanishk Shukla, TaiJae Davis, and Hang Bui. To give attendees a taste of the exhibit, Hang Bui read her moving essay comparing children in Renton with her childhood memories of Vietnam.

More than 50 Renton High School students participated in creating the exhibit. “Two by Two” was the museum’s second collaborative exhibit with Renton High School teacher Derek Smith and his students. The exhibit used historic objects, students’ special mementos, and student essays to explore Renton’s history from the perspective of Renton High’s diverse student body. To prepare for the exhibit, students spent three class periods in the museum, studying Renton history, learning skills of critical analysis, and learning about writing for a realworld situation. The museum’s third student-curated exhibit, “I Am Here: Students Find Themselves in Renton,” is currently

on display at the Museum. The Renton History Museum is a joint project of the Renton Historical Society, a nonprofit organization, and the City of Renton; it is Renton’s only heritage organization and its mission is to document, preserve, and educate about Renton’s history in ways that engage diverse people of all ages. The awards were presented by King County Executive Dow Constantine. Since 1977 AKCHO has been the leading proponent and forum for addressing heritage issues at the local and King County level.

Notice of upcoming work in the Renton area Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) plans to do vegetation management work on its power line rights of way in the Renton area beginning the week of April 22, 2013. The lines involved are BPA’s Covington – Creston No. 1 and Covington – Duwamish No. 1. When this work starts, you may see and hear trucks, crews and power equipment during the day along our power lines near your neighborhood. BPA operates over 15,000 miles of high voltage transmission in the Pacific Northwest. This work is needed because trees and high-growing brush under and near transmission lines create a threat to public safety and can damage BPA’s equipment. One hazardous encounter with an overgrown tree or plant could cause a power outage, leaving thousands of residents in the dark. The project would include: ■ Cutting and removing trees that could reach their maximum height within 25 feet of the transmission line ■ Removing cut trees, limbs and branches from the area ■ Spraying herbicide on the stump of cut trees to prevent future re-growth ■ Repairing any damage on the right of way caused by vehicles and equipment BPA works hard to keep at least 25 feet of clearance between our high voltage lines and the nearest trees or high growing shrubs. For our power lines areas west of the Cascade Mountains, we carefully monitor vegetation on a threeyear cycle because: ■ Transmission lines can sag up to 20 feet on a hot day ■ High voltage electricity can cross gaps of up to 15 feet – trees don’t have to touch the power line to be dangerous ■ Trees, bushes and shrubs can conduct electricity ■ People and pets near electrified vegetation are at risk of serious injury or even death BPA values and depends on the support and cooperation of landowners and residents. Our project staff would like to hear from you if you have ideas or concerns about the upcoming work. To share feedback, please contact the project manager, Jake Grinolds, at 360- 563- 3642, or email him at jdgrinolds@bpa.gov. You may also submit comments online at www.bpa.gov/comment, fax comments to 503- 230- 4019 or phone comments to us toll free at 800- 622- 4519.

Patrick Ossorio, left, is all smiles as he learns to swim with instructor Bobby Landig. Carolyn ossorio parents who have come up to us and thanked us for saving their kids because when they were swimming and were in a situation when they could have drown they stayed calm and focused on what they had learned at Kinder Swimmer,” Leona said. Carrie and Leona are local moms with a great story. They met each other for the first time nearly 17 years ago at a local public pool where they had both signed their babies up for a swimming class. “We had just met each other and were both in the pool holding our 12-month- olds. We were supposed to be blowing bubbles. But the water was so cold my kid was crying and Leona’s kid’s lips were turning blue,” Carrie said. “By our fourth lesson we looked at each other and agreed that we would be doing this for a long time…and that we could do better!”

Both Carrie and Leona live on the Cedar River so they felt it was a necessity to teach their kids how to swim. Carrie and Leona saw an opportunity for a small business they could build together and still stay at home with their kids. And that’s exactly what they did. Leona now has three kids and Carrie four. Their business plan included Carrie and Leona watching each others kids while the other taught Kinder Swimmer lessons. “I remember coming home after teaching my first swimming lesson and I felt really good about what I was doing. I had the feeling that I could do this for a long time,” Carrie said. Carrie and Leona first started offering lessons twice a week at the now defunct Aqua Barn in Renton. Through word of mouth and pounding the pavement with flyers it didn’t take long for their Kinder Swimmer business to grow. After only a year parents were lining up to join. Eventually, they built a pool at Leona’s house, Swimming secured another home online pool in the Renton Kinder Swimmer Highlands and seven http://www.kinderswimmer.com/ years ago purchased a home together with Henry Moses Aquatic Center a fabulous pool in http://rentonwa.gov/living/default. Spanaway. Business is aspx?id=190 booming. “Our classes are Hazen Pool small—no more than http://www.rentonschools.us/Departfive. We provide strucments/Pool_-_Hazen_High_School tured classes that help children to swim three Lindbergh Pool times faster. All of our http://www.rentonschools.us/Departfacilities are located ments/Pool_-_Lindbergh_High_School at home-based pools where our pools are 92-degree salt water and our float-belt system makes our program unique,” Leona explained. “Fearful swimmers are one of our specialties,” Leona added. As if on cue, I heard Bobby’s voice. “Patrick, Jump!” Part of the Kinder Swimmer curriculum is for all swimmers to take a turn jumping into the pool, something Patrick (and I) dread each week. I look away from Carrie and Leona for a moment to watch my son take his turn. I recognize the fear in his eyes and his little legs are shaking. But I also see something else: the desire to jump. The other parents sitting beside me begin cheering. “Go Patrick! Go Patrick!” At long last, my boy jumps into the deep blue water. He comes up gripping Bobby and shouting, “Mommy! Did you see me!” “Yes, Patrick,” I shout back. “I see you!”

FYI

LIFE IN THE CITY

“Come on Patrick!” Coach Bobby’s voice booms across Kinder Swimmer’s Renton Highlands pool. “One arm! Two arm! Eyes and bubbles.” Bobby continues on with Patrick’s weekly swim lesson. It’s that time of year again, the rain has stopped (knock on wood) the trees are blooming and summer is heading fast toward the Pacific Northwest. I love this time of year when you drive by the Henry Moses Aquatic Center you hear the laughter and squeals of delight of kids having a good time. A time when Coulon Beach will be swarming with kids ready to take the plunge . . . or at least most kids. For the past few years it’s been painful watching my 5-year-old Patrick troll around large bodies of water during the summer time. I can always find him on the sidelines, life jacket strapped on tight as he watches his siblings, cousin, neighbors and friends blissfully swim the day away. He is so desperate to be part of the fun and yet always literally on the edge of it because he’s afraid to learn how to swim. Fortunately, this year I discovered Kinder Swimmer in the Renton Highlands. Kinder Swimmer specializes in warm waters, low chemicals and amazing teachers like Bobby Landig. Coach Bobby has been a Kinder Swimmer teacher for about a year now. He is also a local lacrosse coach for eight years. Recently, he left corporate America to pursue a master’s degree in education. “I was tired of the bureaucratic process and politics of corporate America. I’ve always had a passion for teaching, so I decided to let it all go and just go for it! I love my job,” Bobby said. Watching Bobby each week at Patrick’s swim lessons it is obvious that he genuinely enjoys working with kids. And though Patrick is fearful of water, he pretty much trusted Bobby instantly. I remind myself that Bobby’s the best thing since sliced bread every time I hear Patrick cry out, “Bobby, hold me!” as I sit beside the other parents at the edge of the pool. I know tears aren’t too far behind and all I want to do is run over and comfort his anxiety. But my “saving” him will not teach him how to swim. And every Friday night at Kinder Swimmer I am constantly reminded just how important the role teacher’s play in kids’ lives—even saving their lives. I had a chance to chat with the owners, Carrie McCarthy and Leona Day, of Kinder Swimmer poolside at their Renton location this past Friday while Patrick was working with Bobby and we talked about just that. “It is so gratifying to see former students and their

Do baby teeth really matter?

YES – they matter a lot! Anticavity Tip: Water consumption is the most effective way to slow cavity progression in children because of its natural ability to reduce intraoral acidity and cleanse the mouth. 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. Example: 28 pound child = 14 ounces or 2 cups; 46 pound child = 23 ounces or 3 cups.

Obstetric teams are like pit crews who practice constantly hands-on drills in one Birth Center suite, another group of staff watched the action on monitors in another room. There were multiple sessions throughout the day. Valley staff received a didactic, or lecture covering the methodology of the simulation and extensive debrief sessions. “It’s to get us working more as a team, articulate what our goals are and actively facilitate good teamwork,” said Tami Allen, Birth Center manager. In 2012, Valley’s Birth Center had 4,300 deliveries. The renovated center

“If a baby’s not out in a five- to sevenminute framework, they can die.” Marion Constable, a nurse midwife and consultant with The Doctors Company

opened in 2005 and has since expanded into the Northwest Pavilion of the hospital. Allen did not know how many obstetrical emergencies the Birth Center had last year, but the types of emergencies the training simulated are common and some are on the rise, according to the training facilitators. A dislocated infant shoulder in delivery can be life-threatening and happens quite frequently, said Marion Constable. She is a nurse midwife and one of The Doctors Company consultants facilitating the simulations. “If the baby’s not out in a five- to seven-minute framework, they can die,”

she said. “It is a manageable emergency if you know the maneuvers to go through to get that shoulder unstuck under the pubic bone. It’s a skill; you’ve got to practice them.” Constable likens obstetric teams to pit crews, who practice constantly and become very clear about their roles and responsibilities. She calls it “choreographing the crisis.” “So they get ‘Dancing with the Stars’-perfect as far as their response to these emergencies,” Constable said. Post-partum hemorrhage, or the extensive loss of blood during vaginal delivery, is another obstetric emergency on the rise because of the prevalence of obese women and also more C-sections being performed today. “Obese women tend to have larger babies, which tends to increase your risk of shoulder dystocia (dislocation),” said Pamela Willis, a patient safety, risk manager for The Doctors Company. She was formerly a labor and delivery nurse and became an attorney in 2009. “And also having a larger baby stretches the uterus more and makes it harder for the uterus to contract back down after delivery,” Willis said. This in turn can cause hemorrhaging, she said. Women who’ve had a previous C-section also face the possibility of hemorrhaging. In a following pregnancy, the placenta can become implanted around the C-section scar. It can actually grow through the wall of the uterus, the vessels of the placenta, said Willis. Multiple C-section scars

and implantation of the placenta on the uterus can lead to surgery to remove the placenta if it doesn’t come out, or even a hysterectomy. “That’s one of the reasons (hemorrhaging) is on the rise because we have more C-sections now than we did 10 years ago,” she said. Simulations for these three emergencies were conducted because they often occur together. First the baby’s shoulder becomes dislocated, then because of stress it needs to be resuscitated and sometimes the situation progresses into

post-partum hemorrhage for the mom. “The team here at Valley Medical, it’s not unusual for them to be faced with this cascade of events,” Constable said. Simulation training is fairly new on-site at hospitals, involving the whole delivery team, training on its own equipment, the facilitators said. “Simulation has been around for years and used by the aviation industry and the Navy, but used in medicine only in perhaps the last decade,” Constable said. “The notion of bringing

it into the hospital is pretty darn unique,” she said. “It gives you the opportunity to really analyze opportunities for improvement.” After the training, Valley’s Birth Center staff plan to form an education committee and decide what to train on next and how often a year, said Allen. “It’s more and more the standard of training,” she said of simulation. “You’re learning hands-on and anybody will learn better with hands-on.”

Road Map forum draws parents, kids About 750 parents and hundreds of children attended the first Road Map Region Parent Forum on Saturday at Foster High School for a day of workshops, inspirational speakers and an interactive Resource Fair. This first-of-its-kind regional event was designed to give parents the information they need to help their children do well in school – from cradle to college and career. The Parent Forum was hosted by the Road Map Project, a communitywide effort to dramatically improve student achievement from cradle to college and career in South King County and South Seattle. Road Map Project partners, including nonprofit organizations, public health

A Road Map Parent Forum drew 750 parents and hundreds of children to Tukwila’s Foster High School Saturday for workshops. Road Map Project and housing agencies, school districts and parents, collaborated and co-designed the forum to address needs identified by parents. “Parents are a child’s first teacher. Parents are key to student success. Parents

want to be involved with the schools as a valued partner. We need to talk less and listen more to the people closest to the children,” said featured speaker Norman B. Rice, president and CEO of the Seattle

Foundation, during the forum’s opening assembly. Other speakers included Highline Public Schools parent Patricia Gonzalez, Tukwila Mayor Jim Haggerton and Tukwila School Board President Mark Wahlstrom. Efforts were made to remove barriers that would prevent parents from attending the forum – attendees had access to simultaneous translation, child care, transportation and food from different cultures. The event’s workshops spanned many topics, including the exploration of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) with Radio Disney, understanding the school system, understanding the importance of early learning, preparing for college and advocating

for children with special needs. Parents were also given the opportunity to connect with school district leadership in discussion sessions. Throughout the day, parents and children explored the Resource Fair, which gave parents access to practical resources, including dental screenings and job training, in addition to the opportunity to talk with incredible experts in many fields, such as brain development and robotics. Parents also had a chance to win prizes, such as a Microsoft Surface, Target gift cards, passes to family attractions, as well as iPad Minis from Radio Disney.

Liberty High School will stage Frank Baum’s classic, “The Wizard of Oz” this weekend and next at the school’s Performing Arts Center. The production runs at 7:30 p.m. on April 26 to 27 and May 2 to 3. Performances will also be on May 4 at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. The school’s new arts center is located at 16655 SE 136th Street, Renton. “The Wizard of Oz” is the first play on Liberty’s new main stage and the biggest show ever produced by the Patriot Players, the school’s drama department. The show features many “well-loved songs,” according to a release from the school. The musical follows the tale of Dorothy’s adventure “Over the Rainbow” from Great Plains Kansas to the Land of Oz. On her journey down the “Yellow Brick Road” she meets the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion.

On their way to meet the Wizard of Oz, they encounter the Wicked Witch of the West. Last year the Liberty drama department won the 5th Avenue High School

“Dorothy sees Kansas as colorless, joyless and boring. As she travels through Oz, Dorothy encounters vivid representations of all of the colors of the rainbow.” Katherine Klekas, director

Musical Award for “Best Overall Musical” for the school’s production of “Little Shop of Horrors.” With “The Wizard of Oz,” the creative team of directors and designers were challenged to make the production fit in their new space. According to designers

Pat Leo and Susan Canaga, both parents of LHS alumni, the cast will sing and dance its way through over a dozen scenic locations and one thousand costume pieces, which will be created in part by the large volunteer community of students, parents, and alumni. The story has regained popularity in recent years because of the reinterpretations of the story in the 2003 Tony-award-winning musical “Wicked” and Disney’s 2013 movie “Oz: The Great and Powerful.” “Dorothy sees Kansas as colorless, joyless, and boring,” said Katherine Klekas, director of the show. “As she travels through Oz, Dorothy encounters vivid representations of all of the colors of the rainbow.” Marcus Milyko, who plays the Wizard, explains that the panoply of colors helps Dorothy and the audience to see that “there really is ‘no place like home!’”

Cascade Village is at the heart of plans for the Benson Hill neighborhood as it has traditionally been a focal point of the neighborhood. Brian Beckley, Renton Reporter

Benson area has 22,000 people [ Benson from page 1] The Benson Hill neighborhood covered in the community plan, designed to try to fill in the local-level details on city-wide planning documents, includes more than four square miles of land on the south side of Renton. More than two-thirds of the area annexed into the city in 2007. It includes 12 recognized neighborhoods, seven schools and two major commercial centers. With more than 22,000 residents, the Benson Hill community makes up nearly a quarter of the city’s population. The area is extremely diverse and includes a large population of those born outside the United States. The community, however, lacks “focused activity” according to the report and is more of a collection of disjointed neigh-

fyi Benson Hill in a phrase Can you sum up the Benson Hill community in a single phrase? The City of Renton is hosting a contest to develop a new tagline for the Benson Hill Community. Those interested can head to bensonplan. org/site/tagline-contest/ and enter their “one unique, digestible, and visionary tagline” to be placed into the finalized version of the plan. The contest closes May 8.

borhoods at this point, lacking a “unified identity.” The area also has been identified in the city parks plan as needing a park and community center in the central or southern part of the area. The city began work on the community plan by holding multiple outreach events and going to neighborhood picnics to ask residents what they would change in their neighborhoods if they could. According to Conkling, residents would like to see economic development, increased parks and recreation and street improvements. All of those concerns have been worked into the draft plan currently available for review. The plan includes four major recommendations. The first is the creation of a community focus, which is where the Cascade Village may come in. Once a thriving commercial center, much of the plaza is empty today, with all of the major anchor stores empty, including a bowling alley.

The city is considering using land in the plaza for things like a dog park or community garden, as short-term fixes, and potentially even looking into buying land for a community center of some sort. Secondly, the plan calls for more multimodal transportation, specifically walking, biking and transit routes. The primary recommendation calls for 116th Avenue Southeast to be made a “complete street” and central spine or “jewel pathway” of Benson Hill. “116th is really the only true north/south connector of the neighborhood,” Conkling said. The plan looks to add lanes, bike lanes, landscaping and transit pullouts for the extent of the roadway, which presently has inconsistencies due to developing in a piecemeal process. Conkling said the city also heard a lot about the area’s informal network of trails, which exist primarily through utility and other easements. The trails link many parts of the region, but lack connectors between them. Conkling said there is a planned expansion of of city trails as well as supporting the existing network. The plan’s third recommendation is to improve access and quality of parks in the area. While the city discourages private parks, Benson Hill was developed mostly in the county and there are several small, private and homeowners association parks, but no large centralized facility. Finally, focusing on quality of life, the plan recommends an emphasis on improving the sense of safety in the neighborhood through forging increased connections with police and continuing to try and link various community groups and organizations together. The plan is still considered an early draft and a public meeting is scheduled for Wednesday to gain further public input and to make sure the city is on the right path, according to resident concerns, said Conkling. “The public is going to have a chance to prioritize what’s most important to them,” Conkling said, adding, “Right now these are as rough draft as they get.” A second draft of the plan is expected this summer with adoption by the fall. Residents looking to read or comment on the plan can visit www.bensonplan.org or attend a public meeting from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Renton Park Elementary Cafeteria, 16828 128th Ave. SE.

Machinists win top spot in skills competition A team of flight-line mechanics, members of District 751 Machinists, who work at the Boeing Co. took top honors at a national skills competition. The team, which included two Machinists who work at Everett, won their category at the AMTSociety‘s sixth annual Maintenance Skills Competition in Las Vegas last month. One of the team members — John Donohue, who works on 777s in Everett — got the top score on the contest’s written exam, which earned his team an additional award. The victory “sends a message to all AMTs, not only at Boeing, but at airlines, airline customers and any passengers on Boeing planes,” said team captain Joe Fancella, who works at Boeing’s Everett Delivery Center. Along with Donohue and Fancella, the team was made up of Greg Steele and Michael Diamond from Renton field and Todd Warnstadt from Boeing flight test. The team members were selected by their fellow flight line workers from all across Boeing. The team that had the lowest combined time for all 14 events won. The contest attracted teams from Australia, Canada, China and the United States.

the No. 1 seed, which would ensure the Highlanders a trip to the second round, whether they win their first game or not. The second-seeded team plays a loser-out game. “We’ve been to the playoffs the last three years. Most of these guys have been there so it isn’t an ‘awe’ factor anymore,” Matthews said in an email. “But not having that pressure in the first playoff game would be good.” Hazen will have a chance to wrap up the top seed Friday against Kennedy Catholic, during the team’s Senior Night at Renton Memorial Stadium. The Lancers presently sit in second place, just four points behind the Highlanders on the Seamount League table. The teams played to a 1-1 draw earlier this season. Hazen finishes up their regular season Tuesday at Tyee. “We’ve played 12 league games and 14 overall. And now it comes down to a two game season,” Matthews said.

Down by three in the fourth inning, the Lindbergh Eagles softball team plated five runs in the bottom of the inning and then hung on to beat Mercer Island Monday, but fell to league-leading Kennedy Catholic on Tuesday. Lindbergh starting pitcher Paula Farrell had a little trouble with Mercer Island from inside the pitching circle, but her bat helped propel the Eagles to an 8-7 victory Monday at Lindbergh High School. Farrell went 3-for-3 with an RBI and a double. Reliever Danielle Danao picked up the win. Mercer Island picked up two runs in the top of the first to stake a lead, but Lindbergh rallied in the bottom of the inning with a run of their own and picked up another in the second to knot the score at 2-2. But Mercer Island responded again, scoring two more in the third and one in the fourth to take a 5-2 lead.
