County ruling allows city more revenue next year By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

Repairs begin on Upper Cedar River Trail By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
The Upper Cedar River Trail is getting a facelift. The section of the trail on the north side, or right bank, of the Cedar River between Williams Avenue North and the Renton Senior Activity Center
closed Monday and will remain closed through Dec. 13 to allow for repairs of the 35-year-old walkway. According to Parks Planning and Natural Resources Director Leslie Betlach, the closure is to allow for the repaid and replacement of the walkway, which has become “heaved” and “cracked” due to the roots of trees pushing up on it and is
potentially unsafe because of it. It is the first time the surface has been replaced since being installed in the late-1970s. “Everything has a lifespan,” Betlach said. “That’s a long time.” Betlach said the panels of trail along the river will be removed, along with the [ more TRAIL page 3 ]
A ruling earlier this year from King County will allow the City of Renton to collect more revenue in 2014 than previously expected. The change could mean about $16 more per year per tax bill on a $300,000 home. According to Administrative Services Administrator Iwen Wang, who gave a presentation to the City Council Monday on the midbiennial budget amendment, the budget was prepared assuming a levy of $3.10 per $1,000 assessed value maximum for 2013. Because the total valuation of the city dropped, the city hit the maximum tax rate and was required to collect less in revenue than in 2012. But the city raised a question to the county regarding the annexation into the King County Library System and the county agreed that because of the annexation, the city was not subject to the earlier limit, allowing them to raise the effective rate. “In that case, we shouldn’t be lowering our property tax collection in 2013,” Wang said Tuesday. Because state law limits revenue increase to 1 percent of the previous year’s total, the 2014 [ more budget page 5 ]
Renton educators weigh in on national Common Core standards The majority of Renton teachers, principals and staff expressed a positive view on new national reading, writing and math standards adopted by Washington state. The Common Core State Standards are academic benchmarks for reading and math that lay out what students should know and do at each grade level, as well as after high school. Currently, 45 states and the
Your Residential Specialists
District of Columbia have adopted the standards, while five other states created their own version. For those that have adopted the standards, they will be fully implemented by the 2014-15 school year, when new assessments aligned with the Common Core are published. “I definitely like the Common Core Standards,” said Laurie Parten, Math Department chair at McKnight Middle School. “The standards are evidencebased and developed using the most effective models [ more Standards page 10 ]

Local Filipino group collecting money for typhoon, earthquake victims The horrific destruction caused by 7.2 magnitude earthquake (Bohol province) and the typhoon Haiyan (Leyte province) in central Philippines, claimed thousands of lives and left hundreds of thousands totally displaced and desperately suffering from lack of shelter, food, water, medicine, clothing and other necessities. The Filipino American Com-
munity Of Renton And Vicinity (FILAMCOR) launched a campaign to provide relief and support to the suffering victims of these two disasters. FILAMCOR is a public charity, Washington non-profit corporation and an IRC Section 501 c (3) tax exempt entity. The funds that will be collected for these causes will be deposited to FILAMCOR’s bank
account and will be accounted as Earthquake and Typhoon Relief Fund. Donations to FILAMCOR are tax deductible. For more info on donations, please contact Sesinando Cantor at 425-271-3221/206-5508143, scantorcpa@aol.com or Violet Aesquivel at 425-6878478/206-832-7378, vca1216@ yahoo.com.

The path itself will be narrowed from the current size of 10 feet to 8 feet in width, but the paver bricks will be replaced with concrete that has been stamped to keep the same appearance. “It will look like pavers to match the rest of the trail system,” Betlach said. The cost of the replacement project is $120,980 and the money comes from the city’s Capital Improvement Fund. It should reopen this winter when the work is complete.

Guest speakers have included Sounders players, Seahawks players and a female body builder. “The teachers, parents and I can tell the kids about this message but they really listen when we bring in people they look up to and admire,” Palsha said. “It also inspires them to see people from their community being successful.” Palsha will join other Golden Apple Award winners at a ceremony at Seattle Repertory Theatre Jan. 17. The ceremony will air in primetime on KCTS 9 and other public television stations statewide in February 2014.

Campbell Hill Elementary School Principal Zakariya Palsha won the 2013 Golden Apple Excellence in Education Award, which celebrates educators, programs and schools making a positive difference in Washington state education. Hundreds of nominations for the 22nd annual Golden Apple Awards were submitted by students, parents, teachers and community members from across the state. A panel of education leaders and past award winners evaluated the nominees and selected this year’s winners. “This award represents the hard work and dedication of the Campbell Hill Elementary family of
teachers, staff, parents, students and community,” Palsha said. “We work together toward the same goal: to educate and prepare our students for a successful future.” Palsha and his staff work as “a close-knit family” and try to involve the greater community in the education process. The school has formed partnerships with local organizations and businesses and is known for an environment that brings out the best in teachers and support staff. In the past two years at Campbell, Palsha helped staff members improve classroom instruction by creating professional development around culturally responsive teaching strategies.

revenue projections were down some. But with the adjusted 2013 baseline, the city’s 1 percent projections were raised. Wang said the effect on the budget is a proposed increase in the tax rate from $3.10 to $3.15 per $1,000 assessed value. However, the city did see an increase of 7.6 percent in total valuation for 2014, which Wang said was “consistent” with surrounding jurisdictions. While an increase in valuation often means individual taxpayers pay a lower amount of the overall levy total, Wang said residents should not necessarily expect that in next year’s bill because the overall tax rate is up due to voter-approved parks and EMS levies. Wang said only 23 percent of a resident’s tax bill goes to the city, so the overall tax rate is largely outside of the city’s control. Much of the changes to the budget in this year’s mid-biennium adjustment come to the revenue side,

As Halloween fades farther into the rearview mirror and the year makes the final turn into the home stretch, many of us stop and take the opportunity to take stock of our lives. This month, especially, when we take a full day to look back and give thanks for all of the things we have, many of us also think of those who don’t have as much as we do. With temperatures dropping and the rains moving in, the need at local shelters and food banks also increases and in the spirit of giving, many fine groups and organizations around the city begin their annual charity drives, collecting food, toys and coats and such for those among us who may be in need this season. Here at the Renton Reporter we, too, are looking to get involved and give a little back to the community we love. But at the same time, we don’t want to cut into the fine work that other groups do, or get in their way for that matter. This year, we’re partnering with Art2D2 Tattoo and Piercing in Renton to collect toiletries for RAYS, Renton Area Youth and Family Services, a group that provides mental-health counseling to students in the Renton and Tukwila school districts. Art2D2’s shop at 430 Sunset Blvd. N.E. will be the main drop point for donations, though there will also be a box at our office at 19426 68th Ave. S. in Kent. Our hope is that when you are grabbing that extra can of food or searching your closet for an old coat, you also take a moment to grab a tube of toothpaste or a bottle of shampoo and some soap, things that many of us simply take for granted until we find ourselves without them. And RAYS is an excellent local organization with whom we are proud to partner. Founded in 1970 and located in Renton, RAYS is referred students from the Renton and Tukwila school districts who have experienced trauma or abuse and then provide ongoing treatment. Most of the kids they work with are lowincome and their sessions are paid for by Medicare. The group serves about 1,000 children from right here in our area each year. This winter, they are also collecting the following items: shampoo, soap, deodorant, lotion, toothpaste, feminine products, toilet paper, laundry detergent and reusable bags. Grocery store gift cards in $10 and $20 amounts are also requested. Rays Director of Development and Community Relations Jolene Bernhard said a toiletry drive was necessary because often they are items those in need sacrifice in favor of other necessities. “Why is a toiletry drive important?” she asked. “I keep thinking of a single mom who [ more beckley page 7 ]
Remembering Alan Mulally’s mantra, ‘working together’ The current stalemate between The Boeing Co. and the IAM over the proposed union contract for the new 777X reminded me of the jacket in my closet. It’s teal green and white, with the words “777 Working Together” embroidered on it. I received that jacket back in the early ‘90’s when the original 777 program was launched. Those of us lucky to be on the new program all gathered in the Boeing Renton cafeteria for the kickoff. On stage was our new leader. His energy and excitement permeated the crowd. With all of his charm, enthusiasm and positive words, what I remember most was his youthful smile. His name was Alan Mulally and he had only one message – “work together!” “Working Together” became his mantra for the new program and he assured us if we embraced that concept, we would be successful. It was an exciting and fun time. But the euphoria would soon fade as the reality of the hard work began – to design, manufacture and deliver Boeing’s newest innovative aircraft. Over the years, developing an entirely new airplane from scratch often hit a snag or seemed overwhelming. Alan continually reminded us that by working together we could resolve any and all problems. He reiterated that mantra over and over in so many different ways, that we believed him. To make it more fun, special gifts were given to those who came up with innovative ideas, or effort above and beyond. Which brings me back to the jacket – the most coveted of all the gifts. If you earned it, you wore it with great pride. Tish Gregory

EDITOR’S NOTE
RENTON
OPINION
[6] November 22, 2013
Alan left Boeing to become the CEO and president of the Ford Motor Co. in 2006. With him went that infectious spirit that inspired both management and the workforce – a unique style of leadership that Boeing has not seen since. I’m from that earlier era when employees mattered. We were considered an essential part of the team and we responded by building one of Boeing’s best jets ever. How ironic that the derivative to the 777, the 777X, will be built under the cloud of deep division, rather than the collaborative philosophy of a winning program. It’s now all about the bottom line. And that line has now been drawn in the sand, as the IAM recently rejected a sudden mid-contract “take it or leave it” proposal from Boeing that would ensure it would be built in the Puget Sound area. Without a blink, Boeing is out looking to other “wanna be” sites, states and workforce to fill a need that can be satisfied right under their nose by talented and dedicated employees. It’s anyone’s guess when this deep chasm separating the company and its IAM members will close, or if it will. If it doesn’t, the cost will be painful to the company, its workforce and its customers. Maybe what we need is a “wanna be” Alan Mulally – someone who can step in and sell the idea to both management and the IAM on how much can be accomplished if you are willing to work together. I still cherish my jacket after all these years. It remains in the closet needing a new liner for all its wear and tear. It’s also much smaller than I ever remember being!

they were completely soft. Then, using an electric mixer he blended the sweet mash with the rest of the ingredients: cream, egg, white sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. “Whatever it takes, that’s what I do. If you be true to yourself-,” Ezell paused, and, for the first time he looked sad. “That’s what people have a problem with today; they don’t even know themselves.” Ezell poured the sweet potato pie mixture into a dough crusted tin. And we let it bake. “But, it’s like exercising a muscle, you got to keep it Godly,” which to him means keep trying your best. Ezell cut me my first ever slice of sweet potato pie. It was rich, spicy and sweet with a depth of flavor I had not expected. Ezell taught me how to make an amazing sweet potato pie for Thanksgiving and for that I’m grateful. But more importantly, he reminded me that Thanksgiving isn’t just about being thankful on one day, but being thankful and trying your best on every day. “Mmmmhmmm.”

comes from the Earth.” “Mmmhmmm,” I nodded. According to Ezell you need about 5 mediumsized sweet potatoes for a pie, “Don’t get the big ones,” he warned, “‘cause they’re too stringy and the little ones don’t have enough flavor.” I watched him quarter the sweet potatoes as he reminisced about life lessons he’d learned as a boy growing up in a small town in Texas. As a young child he was one of seven kids and for a time lived in a one room, dirt floor, tin topped house without electricity or inside plumbing. But the place was surrounded by woods and acres of land. And this is where Ezell learned about farming, cooking southern food like his mother’s sweet potato pie and the power of always trying your best. “Whatever I do it has to be the best, just like my mama taught me. On the farm, we grew and cooked everything. Raised chickens and pigs, ground our own sausage. Grew butter beans, squash and every vegetable imaginable. That’s where I learned about entrepreneurship walking through the neighborhood with a cart load of vegetables going door to door, asking, ‘you want to buy some squash, some beans, some sweet potatoes?’” Ezell first learned how to fry chicken at the tender age of 16, after he dropped out of high school and his mama made him go work at the chicken house. Four years in the Navy brought Ezell to Seattle and he’s been cooking chicken ever since, first with Ezell’s and now at Heaven Sent. “You know my split with Ezell’s,” Ezell said referring to a recent legal battle between his ex-wife and brother-inlaw that led to his opening Heaven Sent eateries (it’s Ezell’s famous recipe, but he can no longer use the name “Ezell’s”). “It was like the Challenger taking off, you know how it has those tanks on the side at first? After a while those tanks on the side can only get you so far and then, at a certain point you gotta just let ‘em go ‘cause they can’t take you no further,” he paused to smile, “And I’m headed for the moon.” “Mmmhmmm,” I nodded. Ezell cooked those sweet potatoes on a low boil until

Life in the City
The façade of the Heaven Sent restaurant in downtown Renton is misleading. It does no justice to the southern-fried magic going on inside. Apparently, the Heaven Sent signage was recently mowed half off by the back end of a wayward truck and now hangs ragged like a broken arm. Inside, a handful of non-descript table and chair sets await the hungry diner. Pleasant jazz tinkles in the background as the eye takes in the sights, scents and tasty bites of real peppered mashed potatoes, velvety brown chicken gravy, buttery corn and of course the star of the show, perfectly crispified southern fried chicken. I was at Heaven Sent to try the famous chicken for the first time and also to learn how to make sweet potato pie this Thanksgiving for my family. I will tell you there is something of a showman in the owner of Heaven Sent, Ezell Stephens. At a table happily dunking my chicken into tangy barbecue sauce, I watched as Ezell posed for pictures with customers. “Make sure to get Oprah in there,” Ezell said with an easy smile and a good-natured chuckle as he stood in front of a poster size photo of Ezell and Oprah. A ways back, Oprah tasted and loved Ezell’s fried chicken on a trip to Seattle, it has forever more been dubbed: “Oprah’s Chicken.” But it was in the kitchen that I really got to know Ezell. “Every day is Thanksgiving for me,” he said with feeling. And looking around it was true. A row of deep fryers loaded up with sizzling chicken inside a halo of flour and spices, sweet buns bloomed and macaroni and cheese bubbled and browned in the hot oven. “Pumpkin pie has always been my first love,” I say. And it’s true, when it comes to pie and Thanksgiving, pumpkin’s the only one on my dance card. But lately I’ve been retracing food missteps, going back to foods that I have an aversion to for absolutely no good reason, like sweet potatoes. “Don’t even get me going about the pumpkin,” Ezell said, delicately palming a sweet potato. He’d peeled away the dingy brown, revealing a surprisingly vibrant orange within. “God is Good All the Time” was the logo on Ezell’s black t-shirt. A shiny gold cross linked with a gilt Superman shield hung around his neck. He wore the signature black suede leather hat I’d seen on billboards. But up close there were tassels in the back and up front a pin had been placed in the center honoring veterans, tinted glasses, a mouthful of gold, and a Bluetooth that appeared permanently infused to his ear, presumably, so he could be free to conduct business, make fried chicken and preach the Lord’s blessings all at once. “A pumpkin is grown above ground,” he said, in a lilting cadence with a Southern accent that reminds me of peaches, sweet teas and preachers; a voice that naturally takes you in and soon you find yourself nodding your head and saying, “Mmmhmmm.” Ezell continued, “Pumpkins are hollow inside. But a sweet potato, a sweet potato grows in the ground, protected from the elements in the soil with iron and minerals—it

The suspect in the shooting that seriously wounded two men outside the Muckleshoot Casino late Saturday night made his first court appearance at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent on Monday afternoon on suspicion of two counts of first-degree assault. Because prosecutors have not formally charged the man, a 63-year-old Renton resident, with a crime, the Reporter is not disclosing his name. The court set bail at $500,000 bail. The suspect’s second court appearance was Tuesday. The two victims remain in serious condition at an area hospital. According to the determination for certification of probable cause filed by Auburn Police — an account largely based on what the suspect told police — the suspect had been driving with his wife without incident through the parking garage of the casino shortly
before 8:45 p.m. when two men who had been walking near his car, Brian Beasley and Daniel Mora, confronted him. According to the police account, Mora walked over to the driver’s door and began swearing at the suspect. When the suspect removed his Smith and Wesson 9mm handgun from under his seat, according to the account, Mora began taunting him, telling him to shoot. According to the account, the suspect started to drive slowly down the ramp but stopped at the exit when he noticed that Beasley and Mora were still following him. According to the police account, Mora then walked up, kicked the man’s car and tried to open the driver door, which the suspect knew was locked. The suspect, according to the account, then fired one shot at Mora, who ran off toward the casino, with the suspect in foot pursuit. According to the account, “Beasley fell down and crawled toward a
bush, crouched down.” The suspect then stopped at the bush and, from less than 3 feet away, according to the account, fired into Beasley’s upper back one shot, which exited at the front of his throat. According to the account, Beasley then got up and ran off with the suspect in pursuit. About 30 feet on, according to the account, the suspect found Mora hiding in some bushes. The suspect fired at least one shot into Mora’s chest, which collapsed his lung. As Mora ran off, according to the account, the suspect kept shooting at him. According to the police account, the suspect later admitted to police that he’d been upset with Mora and Beasley for their comments and for kicking his car. According to the account, he admitted he had not been in fear for his or his wife’s safety as he chased the men. He also acknowledged, according to the police account, that neither Beasley nor Mora had any weapons in their hands.
Toiletries are especially in demand [BECKLEY from page 6] has been coming to RAYS for the past few years. The family has clawed its way back to stability after the recession – mom now has a job after a long search and they have a steady roof over their heads. “But after paying for rent and food, there’s no money left for the essentials, the toiletries that keep you employable and feeling like a human being,” she continued. “That’s why soap makes a difference.” “I thought that collecting toiletries was a great idea, as you can’t purchase toiletries with food stamps,” said Renton Reporter Publisher Ellen Morrison. “There’s places to go for food, clothing and health but nothing for a bar of soap or some toilet paper.” Morrison said she planned to donate toothbrushes received during regular dentist check-ups and suggested donating the small (unused) shampoo or conditioners brought home from a hotel.

“Those of you who have these small items, that are taking up valuable space in the bathroom drawer, can be assured they are going to someone who appreciates them,” she said. We know there are a lot of folks asking for your help this holiday season, but we hope you will include the fine people at RAYS in your giving and pick up a few extra of the items above while you are at the store. The extra couple of bucks on a box of toothpaste may not mean all that much to some of us, but to others, it could mean a world of difference. Together, Renton, we can make this a happy and healthy holiday season for all the members of our community.

from states across the country and countries around the world. For the first time, teachers and parents have a common understanding of what students are expected to learn.” Common Core Standards are designed to better prepare students for college and career by raising expectations for what students should know by the end of each grade level and delve deeper into fewer topics so students better understand the content. “The standards are clear, explicit, and rigorous without dictating specific instructional strategies,” said Laurie Wasson, instructional facilitator at Lakeridge Elementary School. “They will help us raise the quality of instruction by emphasizing student thinking and understanding of processes, together with opportunities for student discourse.” Under these new standards, educators across the country will work under the same guidelines for student learning and expectations, while applying their own content. This way, if a student moves from one district or state to another, they will learn at the same level they were at in their previous school. “I believe the standards are a clear roadmap for what we need our children to learn in order to be successful in school and in life,” said Lynne Morgan, kindergarten teacher at Highlands Elementary School. “They are easier to read and understand than our previous standards, but still take time to process.” Morgan said the kindergarten team at Highlands has multiple conversations about what it means to “meet standard.” “This has forced us to have these ongoing conversations about what meeting standards look like and what we need to do to ensure that they achieve those standards,” Morgan said. “The standards are no longer just a list of activities that students need to learn, instead they are a logical sequence of skills that lead to broad understandings that all critical for students to be prepared for the demands that will face in the future. This means that our teaching must be focused.” Morgan stated one result from the new

needed for the Common Core Standards Assessments. Most of the assessments will be online. This will create many districts issues in that they will not have enough computers for all students to be assessed in a timely manner. Another common complaint is that the standards will lead to an increased value on standardized test performance. High stakes testing is already a trending issue and now that states will be able to accurately compare their performances against another, the stakes will only get higher. Renton teachers say they agree the new standards raise challenges, but feel the kids and educators are up to the task. “The level of thinking required by the common core standards is challenging, but students are rising to the occasion,” Erica Anderson, fifth-grade teacher at Highlands. “They enjoy having opportunities to express and debate their thinking, and to discuss interesting content. I’m sure that after a few years of experience with the standards, both teachers and students will display deeper thinking and knowledge.” Anderson says her teaching style has stayed the same, but the focus has shifted. “I am more aware of incorporating certain aspects of the standards into each school day, having students read and respond to non-fiction texts more often,” she said. “For example, I am integrating reading and writing skills into social studies and science instruction, and increasing the complexity of what students are reading.” A few Renton teachers expressed the burden of extra time it will take for teacher collaboration. “This additional time is increasingly difficult to find,” said Stephanie Latimer, third-grade teacher at Lakeridge. “In addition, like any change in education, the effectiveness of the Common Core Standards will take time to show results. It feels at this moment however, like we are moving in the right direction.” Rieger and several school district teachers said one of their focuses is on helping to educate the parents about Common Core. “Our students and parents are still learning about what Common Core is,” Rieger said. “We as a district are constantly doing our best to do things to get the word out.”

Police officer threatened The follow information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports. By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
A Renton Police officer was threatened with harm by a 52-year-old transient Nov. 1 found sleeping under an awning on South Third Place. The officer has had 30 to 40 contacts with the man over the years, but there have never been such threats of harm. The man’s speech was slurred, he smelled of alcohol and a bottle of what appeared to be urine was next to him. He was ordered to collect his belongings and leave and not return to that location. The suspect became belligerent and yelled at the officer, calling him a “young punk.” Twice he threatened to put a bullet in the officer’s brain. The officer arrested the man after learning of two warrants, one for unlawful transit conduct and one for
third-degree theft. The man refused to turn so the officer could handcuff him. The officer pulled the man to the ground and the suspect was handcuffed with the help of another officer. The force was necessary, the officer wrote, because of the warrants, the man was drunk and he had threatened the two officers several times. The suspect was booked into the SCORE regional jail.
‘John Doe’ arrested for smoking at shelter A “John Doe” was arrested Oct. 26 at the south Renton park and ride lot for smoking in the bus shelter. The man was lying on a metal bench, smoking, as the officer approached. Where is it posted he can’t smoke? the man asked the officer. The
officer pointed to the warning sign in front of him. The man offered his name but officers couldn’t confirm it because he had no picture identification. He was booked into SCORE regional jail for unlawful transit conduct. He refused to change into jail clothing and was placed in a padded cell.
Vehicles prowled near fitness club Two vehicles were broken into the night of Oct. 28 while their owners were working out at a fitness club at The Landing in North Renton. The men had worked out for about two hours. A 25-year-old Renton man’s iPad and backpack were stolen from his car after someone smashed the passenger side rear window on his car. A 45-year-old Renton man’s work laptop and leather case was stolen after someone also smashed the passenger side rear window.

Renton man going to prison for selling fake Chihuly glass A 35-year-old Renton man was sentenced Wednesday to five months in prison for fraud for advertising and selling glass artwork he claimed was made by artist Dale Chihuly, announced U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan. Besides the prison term, Michael Little was sentenced in U.S. District Court to three years of supervised release, including five months in a halfway house, and $75,389 in restitution. The deception was discovered after several purchasers asked an expert to examine the pieces, according to a federal press release. Little bought various pieces of generic glasswork and artwork over the internet and falsely claimed to buyers that it was authentic Dale Chihuly work, according to the release. He continued his sales scheme even after eBay removed some of the postings, and PayPal reversed one of the purchases after being alerted to the fraud, according to the release. Little posted and sold the art in person, online and through a Renton auction house. U.S. District Judge Robert S. Lasnik imposed the sentence. “This defendant was persistent and creative in his fraud that recycled ordinary glass into costly works of art,” said Durkan. “Fraud schemes like this one target all artists and damage confidence in the online marketplace.”
