Talbot Hill Elementary receives $5,000 grant for ‘green’ efforts School is the only organization in Washington state to receive Waste Management award BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

Renton’s Talbot Hill Elementary was awarded a $5,000 grant for the school’s “green” education efforts on Monday, June 15.

The school was the only entity in Washington state to win a 2015 Think Green Grant from Waste Management. The company awarded $300,000 in grants nationally to the nonprofit Keep America Beautiful. Talbot Hill

was one of the 39 Keep America Beautiful affiliates or partners to receive the grant. The money will be used to build a garden and greenhouse on the front lawn of the school. The grant is a big deal for students, who previously did all of their “green” education inside the classroom. Talbot Hill Principal Sheryl

Dunton accepted the award from Waste Management’s David Della. School MicroSociety Coordinator Sally Boni was also on hand, as was Renton Chamber of Commerce CEO Vicky Baxter. Baxter introduced Boni to the grant and Boni called getting the funding like “a dream come true.” “We are looking for donors and we are looking for connec-

No more teachers, no more books

tions to help us buy a greenhouse at cost or at least a discounted price,” said Boni. “Our $5,000 will go a long way to get us started, but we’ll most likely need $5,000 (to) $10,000 more before we are completely done.” The school is also looking for volunteers who have expertise in creating outdoor greenhouses and [ more TALBOT page 9 ]

Foster awards diploma to Alajawan Brown

Renton teen killed in 2010 would have graduated with the Class of 2015

BY TRACEY COMPTON AND BRIAN BECKLEY tcompton@rentonreporter.com

This past week Renton graduated more than 800 students in the Class of 2015. All three comprehensive high schools held their commencement ceremonies on June 12 at ShoWare Center in Kent. The Secondary Learning Center held its graduation on Monday, June 15, at the Renton IKEA Performing Arts Center. They were momentous occasions, full of reflection, pride, music, some tears, joy and lots of celebration. HAZEN Hazen High School started off the day with their ceremony last Friday. The school’s program listed 349 students [ more GRADUATION page 15 ]

This is the year that Alajawan Brown would have reached a teenager’s milestone – receiving a high school diploma – in front of adoring family and friends. Instead, his father Louis walked slowly across the Foster High School football field last Friday toward Mark Wahlstrom, Alajawan Brown president of the Tukwila School Board, who held an honorary diploma and a purple cap. Alajawan’s brother Louis Jr. walked beside him, his arm around their father’s shoulder. Alajawan’s sister Jasmine, a member of Foster’s Centennial Class of 2015, waited for them. “I am proud to present Mr. Louis Brown an honorary diploma for Alajawan from Foster High School. I know that Alajawan would have been a proud Bulldog,” said Foster Principal Pat Larson, as the graduates and those in the stadium rose in applause at Foster’s Centennial graduation.

‘Honor Flight’ takes vet back to D.C. BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

Louise George of Renton recently returned from a trip she almost didn’t make. The 97-year-old wasn’t sure, at first, if she wanted to take the Puget Sound Honor Flight’s tour of Washington, D.C., because she has bad knees and other aliments and didn’t want to be a burden. Puget Sound Honor Flight flies veterans to the nation’s capital for a tour of monuments built in their honor. Staff from the group visited residents of Merrill Gardens last year, where George resides, and after some urging from her sister, George decided to make the trip. In May she traveled with 54 other veterans from Washington state for “one last mission” on the Puget Sound Honor Flight. “I’m very happy I went because I was well-taken care of,” she said. World War II veterans and also those with a terminal illness are Puget Sound Honor Flight’s top priority. The organization estimates that the country loses approximately 1,000 World War II veterans per day. The trips are free to veterans and made possible through individual donations and corporate support. George was a secretary for the Marine Corps during World War II and has traveled back to D.C. since then but not on such an extensive tour, she said. This group had 50 guardians or chaperones that took care of the veterans’ every need. USO volunteers saw them off, wishing them

well and Vietnam veterans on motorcycles escorted their buses to the hotel, once they arrived in Baltimore. George said she was fascinated by how much Washington, D.C. has changed since she served there. “That’s where I was when I was in the Marine Corps in 1943, ‘44 and ‘45, but of course it’s changed tremendously, you know – crowded, apartments, hotels, office buildings – just packed,” she said. The group got up early every morning, boarded buses and hit the sites. George was particularly moved by the U.S. Marine Corps

She called the statue of the soldiers planting the flag at Iwo Jima “gorgeous.” “I just really loved that statue; it’s beautifully done because even the wrinkles in their clothes were there and then their shoes,” she said. “It was like you were actually looking at them, you know.” At the only major national memorial honoring women who serve, George got a special treat.

Just moments earlier Larson explained why Alajawan wasn’t there, a member of the Class of 2015, perhaps even Foster’s. “His life was cut short when he was killed in a random act of violence,” she said. And, then, assistant Principal Laurie Clark asked the graduates to take hold of their tassles and move them from right to left “and keep Foster in your heart forever.” Louis Brown moved his tassle to the side. He didn’t know that his wife Ayanna had arranged for the honorary diploma. “I felt it would be good to aid in our healing process,” she said. Alajawan’s mother knew that his graduation would be a major event in his life that they would miss. “I didn’t want this to be something else that Curtis was successful in taking away from us,” said Ayanna of Curtis John Walker, who in March 2012 was sentenced to 50 years in prison for murdering Alajawan on April 29, 2010. Alajawan’s 18th birthday is in July. Alajawan was about a month away from his 13th birthday when he was shot in the back and killed by Walker in the parking lot of the 7-11 store on Martin Luther King Jr. Way on Renton’s West Hill. He was walking home from the bus stop after buying football cleats at Walmart in downtown Renton. Walker of Kent was involved in a violent dispute nearby between two gangs. Walker thought the 12-year-old Alajawan was a rival gang member. The Sheriff Office’s Skyway storefront precinct is named in Alajawan’s honor. Ayanna Brown is an employee of the Tukwila School District, which allows employees who live outside the district to enroll their children in Tukwila’s schools. She had “shared her heart” with Larson about why she wanted Louis to receive the honorary diploma. She wanted him to “have that moment.”

For news and political junkies – even recovering ones like myself – this time of year can get pretty exciting. No, it’s not the ramping up of next year’s presidential race – which is already shaping up to take a run at “The Amazing Race” for next year’s reality-show Emmy – or even time running out on the state Legislature still-budgetless special session. In the next few weeks, we should get the remainder of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decisions for this term and whether we agree with them, this is where the rubber meets the road. This is where the real Deciders (sorry President Bush) get to weigh in. Coming up in the next week or so will be many decisions, but the high-profile ones we are all still waiting on include decision on the Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”), a weird case about making threats-that-might-be-raplyrics-but-seem-more-likestraight-threats toward an ex on Facebook and a case about whether homosexuals have the same right to marry as straight couples. A few weeks back, our question of the week was “Should the U.S. Supreme Court allow gay marriage?” I have to admit, I was a little surprised to see that 52 percent of respondents to the poll said “no.” Our polls, of course, are in no way scientific and should not be used as a gauge of the community as a whole, since we have no way of knowing what the sample of respondents looks like. But it still surprised me a bit. We asked because of this term’s Supreme Court case, but as I typed the question into our website a few days after the print edition went to press, I realized we actually asked it wrong and the answers we received may have been influenced by the way we asked. What we should have asked was not “should they allow” but “Should the U.S. Supreme Court allow state governments to outlaw gay marriage?” Because the simple fact is that if it is not expressly illegal, then it’s legal in America. (Remember a few years back when there was that bestiality incident in Enumclaw, but since there was no law against it at the time, no one could be prosecuted?) So the Supreme Court does not have to “allow” gay marriage but decide if it will “allow” governments to prevent it. And asking “should the government be allowed to prevent” is going to get you different answers, especially from folks on the right. Personally, I have never understood conservative opposition to allowing gays to marry. First, who cares? Why is it your business? Or the government’s? It’s always been my understanding that conservatives want a small unobtrusive government that does not affect the personal liberties of individuals. And there is no way you can be for that and against allowing someone the [ more BECKLEY page 7 ]

If only silence in Olympia came with a $ If silence is golden, a lot of wealth is stockpiled in the state Capitol, where lawmakers and the governor are mum on progress in reaching a deal on a new state budget. Thursday was the 51st day the Legislature is in special session – that’s one-and-two-thirds extra sessions – and only 12 days remain to reach agreement to avert the first-ever state government shutdown. This is all reminiscent of 2013, when a clash between House Democrats and Senate Republicans pushed the Legislature through one-and-ahalf special sessions – and state government to the same brink. It took lawmakers until June 27 to get a deal. They approved the budget the next day, and Inslee signed it June 30. A similar scenario is shaping up this year. Democrats still rule the House and Republicans the Senate, and they are once again unable to bridge their financial and philosophical differences. They are wrangling over how much money to spend in the next budget – the Rs say $37.9 billion, and the Ds counter with $38.4 billion – as well as where the money will come from. House Democrats insist additional revenue is needed to pay all the bills, and Senate Republicans disagree. If any of the negotiators talked publicly, they’d express frustration, not panic. While it’s long past time for a deal, it’s not too late to get it done, they’d say. They are assembling the hundreds of small pieces of an agreement as they go. Once they settle the big disputes, such as how large a pay hike to give teachers and how deep to cut college tuition, budget writers and their staff will pull an all-nighter to compile everything into legislation, get it proofread and voted on. Any accord would likely ban amendments by individual lawmakers, as was the case in 2013. Before the cone of golden silence came down Jerry Cornfield

EDITOR’S NOTE

OPINION

[6] June 19, 2015

on the proceedings, House Minority Leader Dan Kristiansen, R-Snohomish, offered his survey of the landscape. Noting that the Legislature is made up of 147 free agents, he said the challenge each budget cycle is figuring out how to help every member feel they got something out of the process. Two years ago, it wasn’t easy. The budget was more constrained, and the politics more inflamed, with the rise of the Republican-controlled Majority Coalition Caucus. The delay was predictable. Kristiansen didn’t expect it would wind up as contentious this year and had predicted adjournment on time in April. But even though the economy is rebounding and Democrats and Republicans share similar priorities for where to spend the money, they still can’t agree on how much spending is enough. Kristiansen said that when he’s met with majority leaders in each chamber, he asks them to “set aside the (lawmaker) names, set aside the party labels and talk about the wins we’re going to get this year.” There will be a historic increase in funding for public schools, as well as a sizable boost in money for mental health services and early learning. State workers and teachers will get their first state-funded pay hike in years. An unprecedented reduction in college tuition is likely, he said. “I look at them and say there’s a whole bunch of winners here, and you’re still fighting for more,” Kristiansen said. “Let’s just call ‘uncle,’ both of you.” That would require them to lift the cone of silence. Given the weight of gold, it might take a few more days to muster the muscle. Political reporter Jerry Cornfield’s blog, The Petri Dish, is at www.heraldnet.com.

Free summer lunch program begins Monday at 19 sites This summer the City of Renton and Renton School District have partnered to offer free lunches to children ages 1 through 18. Starting Monday, June 22, any child can get a free

lunch, regardless of where they live and their family’s income level. Registration is not required and proof of residency or income level is not needed. Lunches must be eaten on site. Lunches will be served from June 22 to Aug. 14, Monday through Friday, unless otherwise noted, but no lunches will be served July 2 and 3.

[ BECKLEY from page 6] liberty to live their life as they please. Besides – and this is always my key argument – marriage, in the eyes of the government, is simply a contract that must be enforced. Marriage is a matter of contract law. Period. Sure, there are religious overtones and marriages factor in very heavily to many religions and their beliefs; but to the government it is simply a contract. I know that first-hand as I have signed the document as an officiant, a witness (best man) and as a spouse. It is a legal document that must be filed with the county. Because it is an enforceable contract and that is it. And if you disagree, I encourage you to try and get OUT of a marriage with just your religious leaders and not a lawyer... (And for the record if anyone else’s marriage – gay or straight – is a threat to your marriage or your beliefs or your religion, you are probably doing it wrong.) The case in front of the Court this term will decide just this very question: Can states prevent homosexuals from marrying? In other words, is there a Constitutional right for gays to marry? I say if not a “constitutional right,” it sure seems something the government should be out of. What does it matter who signs what contracts? Let any two legal adults sign whatever contracts they see fit. The government’s job is not to judge the contract but to enforce it. So while I am pretty sure I know exactly how this SHOULD go, the real question for me is how will it go? And I know that Justice Kennedy is considered the “swing vote” on this one, but to me, the most interesting opinion will (as always) be Justice Antonin Scalia’s. Scalia is a self-proclaimed “originalist” and a conservative. But he is also a Republican, which is a completely different thing. And while “conservatives” shouldn’t care what someone else does with their life, Republicans tend to care a lot. So I look forward to seeing the knots that Justice Scalia ties

City and staff receive multiple state awards The City of Renton on Monday was recognized with awards from two statewide organizations in four separate categories. Both the Washington Recreation and Park Association (WRPA) and Washington State Association of Senior Centers (WSASC) recognized the city this week for their efforts. The City of Renton received two organizational awards from WRPA: the 2015 Cultural Competency/In-

I had some lovely leafy Swiss Chard growing in my garden and was harvesting a few leaves at a time. Then a few weeks ago all my Swiss Chard plants grew very tall and started to bloom and now the leaves do not taste the same. What happened? L.P., Olympia Leafy vegetables such as lettuce, kale and chard will bolt or go to seed when the weather turns warm or if they are fed with a rose and flower type food that is high in potassium and phosphorous. Most vegetables prefer a fertilizer that is higher in nitrogen. Fertilizers made for flowers and roses have less nitrogen. You can replant your leaf crops in early fall when the nights begin to grow cool and enjoy a second harvest or grow Swiss chard in a cool and partly shaded location as part of your landscape either in the center of mixed containers or as a border next to the lawn. We have a rose plant with lovely yellow blooms but a new shoot has appeared that is longer and stronger than the other branches. I think our rose plant is trying to change into a climbing rose and I would like to let this shoot continue to grow and train it over a trellis. My wife insists I cut it out. We would like your opinion. B.N., Email Cut it out. Your yellow rose is experiencing a hostile takeover by a runner or sucker that is originating from the root stock. All hybrid roses are grafted to hardy roots from a wild rose to make them more cold hardy and it is this wild rose from below that is making its move to dominate the yellow rose top graft. To keep this wild branch from coming back dig down until you see where the sucker meets the root stalks and pull or tear it away so that you remove more of the eye or

point of growth. When and how do I prune lavender? S., email

Q. A.

Pruning after blooming is the general rule of green thumb and so when your lavender plants have finished flowering you can use scissors or clippers to shape the soft new growth into tidy mounds. Using scissors will help prevent cutting into woody old growth on the plants. Pruning lavender is a lovely, fragrant experience and because the scent of lavender is calming to the human brain be warned that you may find yourself taking nap in the garden halfway through the job. When you wake up, collect the pruning crumbs, stuff them into a cloth bag and place with your sheets and pillowcases.

Bonnie Rerecich, retired manager of the Neighborhoods, Resources and Events Division, was recognized individually by WRPA with their Distinguished Service Award, which honors retired professionals for outstanding service in the field of parks

and recreation. Rerecich was with the City of Renton for 40 years and retired in 2014. Washington Recreation & Park Association (WRPA) celebrates people, parks and programs for their contributions to the field of parks and recreation in Washington state. This is the sixth time in 10 years that Renton has been recognized by this organization. Renton Senior Center Recreation Coordinator Debbie Little was named Professional of the Year by WSASC. Little has been with the City of Renton for 35 years and at the Renton Senior Center for 27 years.

THE COMPLEAT HOME GARDENER

Marianne Binetti

The third week of June is the start of the summer season and if your landscape is looking a bit dull with the end of the spring rhododendron and azalea show, it may be time to add more flash and foliage to the garden. Summer-long color from fancy foliage is an easy way to add more drama without more drinking. Barberries, Sambucus and golden tipped evergreen shrubs are just a few of the choice plants that are anything but green. Scan the local nurseries for other trees and shrubs with dramatic and different foliage. In the vegetable garden be sure to provide plant supports for climbing and vining plants before they need it. You can make a sturdy tee pee from long lengths of rebar that can provide growing room for tall beans and peas. After rhododendrons bloom must I remove all the faded flowers? J. Email No. it will not harm a rhododendron to let it go natural and leave the blooms. Snapping off the faded and often sticky blooms will tidy up the shrub and if you break off the new growth candles or leaf shoots that pop up on the sides of the spent flower trusses, you will be pruning at the same time and creating a more compact and shrubby rhododendron. Removing spent flowers will force the rhodies to put more energy into root and leaf production so many gardeners pamper their rhododendrons by deadheading when they are young and the flowers are easily reached. A light bamboo rake can be used to claw off the highest blooms and new growth candles from taller shrubs.

gardens. Donors have already committed to donate soil for the project. Talbot Hill Elementary is the site of MicroSociety, a mini-society of student-run businesses, nonprofits and agencies. One of the MicroSociety student leaders’ goals is to make the school a Level 2 “Green School” in energy conservation, as part of the King County Green Schools program. Students and building staff currently recycle, compost and reuse materials. They are trying hard to use such tactics as dimming the lights, using less water and turning down the thermostat.

This is the ninth year Waste Management and Keep America Beautiful have collaborated to offer the grants. The two organizations have awarded more than $1.3 million in grant money during that time. “Keeping our communities clean and beautiful is what our company, and Keep America Beautiful, are all about,” Barry Caldwell, Waste Management’s senior vice president of corporate affairs and the chief legal officer, said in a May press release. “The Think Green Grants program enable community organizations across the country to help improve their neighborhoods, towns and cities, and we gladly support that,” he said.

Ask Your Lawyer by Dan Kellogg

New Federal Estate Tax Law May Allow Simplification of Estate Plans The Federal Estate Tax exemption amount has now been increased to over $5.0 million per person. Some previous estate plans that included a Credit Shelter Trust to protect against Federal Estate Tax may now be simplified in order to be able to avoid probate on the death of the first spouse. However, the exemption amount for the State of Washington Estate Tax remains at $2.0 million per person. So if the total taxable estate value exceeds $2.0 million, simplification may not be appropriate. Everyone’s case is different. It pays to double check to be sure that your estate plan is up to date in light of your present circumstances. I have more than 40 years of experience in estate planning and will handle your case personally. Please call 425-227-8700 to schedule an initial appointment. Committed to you and the community.

City swimming areas open for season on Saturday

BY BRIAN BECKLEY

bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

Summer is here, let’s go swimming! This weekend marks the official beginning of swim season in the city as the Henry Moses Aquatic Center, Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park and Kennydale

Park all open their waters to the public tomorrow, Saturday. The city’s army of about 85 lifeguards spent the week training at HMAC and Coulon to get ready for the warm-weather crush of swimmers headed to our local shores to beat the heat. Lifeguards will be on

duty at Coulon and Kennydale from noon to 8 p.m. every day all summer long, as well as watching the slides, wave pool and other waters at Henry Moses, which is open for two sessions every day, from noon to 3:30 p.m. and from 4 to 7:30 p.m. According to Brandi

Burke, recreation coordinator in charge of aquatics, the city has expanded its swim-lesson programs this summer, adding two more weeknight classes as well as a Saturday session. This year, swim lessons will be available at HMAC four nights each week, split into two groups: Monday and Wednesday lesson and Tuesday and Thursday lessons. Each pair of sessions runs from 7:45 to 8:50 p.m. and can handle about 100 kids. The Saturday morning sessions will run from 8:05 to 11:30 a.m. and can handle about 384 kids. Registration is required. Group lessons are available for children up to age 13. In addition, the city is offering private swimming lessons, available in halfhour increments. There will also be free, lunchtime lessons from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays at Coulon park. Participants can register for those classes on the day of the event.

...obituaries Allen C. Raines Jr.

Allen C. Raines Jr., 77, passed away on Monday, May 4, 2015 at his home in Renton, Washington after a short, but courageous, battle with small cell lung cancer. He was born on April 17, 1938 in Toltec, Arkansas to Allen C & Lottie Raines. Allen Spent his childhood years in Arkansas. He was Senior Class President and graduated from Mabelvale H.S. in 1956, after which time he went to work for the railroad earning enough money to further his lifelong passion of learning and education. It was during those years that he met and married, Nancy Jo Parker, the love of his life. To this union three children were born. Allen began his career with Martin Marietta and shortly thereafter was hired with the Boeing company in Huntsville, Alabama. In 1971 Boeing transferred Allen and family to the Seattle, Washington area where he continued his Boeing career until retirement in 1999. It was here that both Allen and Nancy made a home where all were welcome. Their friend’s children and children’s friends have shared the stories of love, laughter and tenderness throughout the years in that Briarwood house where a bounty of cheese toast, oreos, and Coca Cola could be found on any given day. Allen attended Arkansas State Teachers College (UCA) in Conway, Arkansas until his graduation day August 12, 1962. He was a member of the Royal Roosters and Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternity. Allen was a Student Senate member and Student Body President. He was the Student Bookstore manager and Art Editor or The Scroll (yearbook). Allen was a member of Lord of Life Lutheran Church in Renton, Washington. He was an avid reader, loved woodworking, and ‘rehabilitating’ old furniture, most especially chairs. Allen is preceded in death by his wife Nancy, parents Allen C and Lottie Raines, mother and father in-law James L. and Callie (Bettis) Parker, sister-in-law Ruby F. (Pete) Raines, nephew Rusty Sparks, ‘Brother’ Charles Emerson, great nephew Christopher Runnels, and recently, Tammy Raines Dean. He is survived by his daughter Jamie (Raines) Pearson, Kirkland, WA, son Allen C (Trey) Raines III, Sammamish, WA, daughter Suzanne (Raines) White, Blair, NE. Grandchildren, Chloe Pearson, Eliot Raines, Will Raines, and Franklin White. Brother J.W.

[ GRADUATION from page 1] for receiving their diplomas and two students who were to receive their associate of arts degrees from Bellevue College. “Welcome to the last time we will be together as a class,” said Kyle Hanis, Hazen senior speaker. He remarked on not truly feeling the significance of the moment yet and how simple choices can add up to big differences in students’ lives. “Without Hazen you wouldn’t have had the friends that you do,” he said. Hanis encouraged his fellow graduates to savor the moment and reflected on their time together. Hazen Principal Kate O’Brien, a Hazen alumna, commended the students for their leadership, commitment to those in need and their humor. She hoped that they learned both the academic and practical skills they will need to navigate the world after graduation. The two greatest skills she learned at Hazen and wished for students to take with them were lessons in gratitude and resilience. No matter what they will face or suffer through in the future “the good news is everyone has resilience,” O’Brien said. Hazen students were the only class that day to toss their caps into the air after the official turning of the tassel and alma mater song, “Green, Gold and Blue.” RENTON Renton High School was next, graduating seniors at noon at ShoWare Center. Parents, friends and well-wishers reveled in the seniors accomplishments with very vocal shout-outs throughout the graduation ceremony. Students Jaqueline Arreola, Bruce Buenaventura and Breanna Rice performed an instrumental version of the very popular Wiz Khalifa song “See You Again,” made famous by the movie “Furious 7.” “This is not the end and we don’t stop going once we reach that achievement,” said Buenaventura, the senior speaker. In the speaker’s entertaining remarks, he talked about the many changes students have encountered since their time in school, from the evolution of social media, onward. Then he took a selfie from the stage with the students in the background. “Never forget what you represent,” said Buenaventura, calling on the school’s motto of pride, tradition and excellence. Renton Principal Giovanna San Martin congratulated the students for achieving a 90 percent graduation rate. The seniors represent the “essence and flavor” of Renton High School, she said. The students were to be commended for quietly working on equity for all students with compassion and empathy. Getting choked up, San Martin said she would always remember and admire the Class of 2015 for that. “We wish you everything that you richly deserve in your years ahead,” she told them. LINDBERGH The Lindbergh Eagles finished out the day at the ShoWare Center as 261 now former students picked up their diplomas in front of a cheering crowd of family and friends. Senior class president John Williamson began by urging his classmates to maintain what keeps them unique and to always be true to themselves, a message he highlighted by talking about how throughout his school career, his choice of footwear, while a minor thing, always helped him show his personality. He concluded by showing off a pair of cowboy boots, just like the ones he said he wore every day in the first grade. After a performance by the Ad Astra Choir, speakers thanked staff and parents and wished classmates luck in their endeavors. Then, following the handing out of diplomas, Jacqueline Martin and Williamson re-took the stage and rang the school’s bell before students flipped their tassels from one side to another.
