Renton Schools dealing with shortage of substitute teachers

BY TRACEY COMPTON

[email protected]

At the end of September the Renton School District had 35 unfilled teaching positions.

“That took 35 people out of the sub pool before anybody called in sick,” said Debra

Tito, executive director of human resources for the district. “Before we had any profes-sional development, we had to have a sub in those classes.”

Including surrounding school districts, the number jumps to 155 open teaching positions, an unheard of amount, according to Tito.

The openings are creating a substitute teacher shortage in the region that’s plagu-ing the Renton School District, hindering teachers’ opportunity for professional development and affecting students in the

classroom. Substitutes are needed to fill teaching positions when teachers call in sick, but also when teachers are pulled to participate in professional development outside the classroom.

On top of this, the district has had numerous unfilled teaching positions they must fill from their sub pool, which used to have 200 people in it. In recent years that number has dwindled making it a challenge to hire substitutes.

“A couple of things have happened; with the economic downturn, fewer people went

into education, which then provides us less supply of people who either are going to teach or would be in the sub pool if they didn’t get a teaching job that first year or two,” said Tito.

The district has also added full-day kin-dergarten and increased enrollment, which adds to the number of teachers that are needed. They’ve seen a decrease in the flow of subs into their sub pool and an increase in the flow of subs out of the sub pool as those teachers get hired for permanent

Problem is region-wide and stems from hundreds of unfilled teaching positions

Property owners downtown will have an opportunity to take advantage of a federal loan program next year, thanks to a change in how the City of Renton plans to use its Com-munity Development Block Grant Funds.

The grants will be used as part of the city’s new Down-town Commercial Rehabilitation and Facade Improvement Loan Program to help private land owners improve their properties in hopes of bringing more retail businesses to the

downtown core.“We hope that this will be one of the tools that generate

some interest downtown and will ultimately lead to new commerce,” said Community Development Block Grant Manager John Collum.

According to Collum, one of the issues the city is facing in trying to re-energize the downtown shopping district is the age and the look of the buildings. While Collum was quick to point out that there is not a whole lot of vacant space

The City Council on Monday night officially announced a City Council vacancy and opened up the application process to fill the seat, as prescribed by city policy.

The council set a deadline of noon on Dec. 1 for all letters of intent and qualifications to be filed with the City Clerk. The council will select a candi-date from the applicants.

The vacancy was created by the Nov. 9 death of Councilwoman Terri Briere. The chosen applicant will serve until the next general election in Novem-ber 2015. If elected at that time by the people, the new councilmember will serve the remainder of

A sure sign that the holi-days are right around the corner is the return of the Renton Hassle-free Holiday Bazaar.

This year’s event is expected to draw between 3,500 and 5,000 visitors a day to the Renton Commu-nity Center on Friday and Saturday and it will feature more than 100 vendors.

The event is from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days at the community center, 1715 Maple Valley Highway.

“It’s not just a little church bazaar that’s for sure,” said Jennifer Spencer, city recreation coordinator.

Many of the vendors are from all around the Puget Sound and some even come from out of state to the bazaar. It features all kinds of holiday gifts and crafts from jewelry, clothing, accessories, food speciali-ties, housewares, soaps and candles to yard art, books and other unique ideas.

New this year are metal and birdhouse artists and

Emerald City Cake Balls. “Those are delicious; if

you don’t come for anything else, come for the cake balls,” said Spencer.

She also recommends Cheryl Faull’s Triple Berry Jam, which she called very good.

A Renton resident of 40 years, Faull has been selling her jams and jellies at the Renton Holiday Bazaar for 16 years and calls the busi-ness she gets there “tremen-dous.”

“It’s like a community reunion, it really is,” said Faull. “So I have regu-lar customers that come through and I understand from the gals, who coordi-nate this bazaar that people call down to the City of Renton and ask if Cheryl’s Jams is going to be at the Holiday Hassle-Free Bazaar. That’s what they tell me.”

Faull looks forward to this time of year and spends September through December busily making and selling her products. Her best-seller is her wild huckleberry jam from the high altitude area around

Mount Adams. She orders up about 150 pounds of wild huckleberries in August and goes to get them to make her famous products. Some berries like the Cascade Blackberries she harvests from her own backyard. Faull gathers her fruits and berries all sum-mer long as they come into season and she prides her-self on the fact that they’re all “a Washington product from the berry to the jar.” She has 12 varieties of jams and jellies.

Faull enlists help from her husband Don and other family members and enjoys being a vendor at the Renton Holiday Bazaar. It’s one of several shows she participates in.

“That show has devel-oped a wonderful reputa-tion and boy the customers they really come,” she said.

For more information on the Renton Holiday Bazaar, call the Renton Community Center at 425-430-6700.

downtown, the space that is available is “not attracting the pure retail” the city would hope because, he said, the spaces are just not what retailers are looking for.

The hope is that property owners will take advantage of the loan program to refresh the looks of their buildings, poten-tially as part of a larger project.

Collum said the loans feature “very fa-vorable terms” and are designed to be used on any project that will affect the build-ing’s facade, from painting and windows to signage, awnings and more.

“Anything that will be part of a project to improve the appearance of the building,” he said.

The loans can cover 50 percent of the total cost of the project, with a minimum loan amount of $10,000 (for a minimum project amount of $20,000). The loans are 0 percent interest loans. If the project is part of a larger rehabilitation, which is the hope,

the loan money must be used for facade improvement.

Using CDBG money for a facade Improvement program is something new for the city. Prior to the upcoming budget cycle, CDBG money was used in human services, primarily in housing assistance.

The city has compensated for the remov-al of the CDBG money by increasing the city’s general fund contribution to human services so there is no gap in the housing assistance programs.

“This is just a matter of moving money from one pot to another,” Council President Don Persson said during a recent council discussion on the topic, adding that the change was a “win-win situation” since the money going to human services was not being cut.

Collum said a handful of owners and several tenants have already expressed interest in the program.

Collum said the city has $245,000 avail-able through the program in 2015.

Briere’s term and will have to run for re-election in 2017.

The seat is open to all registered voters in the City of Renton who have resi-dency within the city limits for at least one year prior to consideration.

All interested and quali-fied persons are encouraged to submit a letter of interest to the City Clerk. Addi-tional materials outlining a candidate’s interests and

qualifications may also be submitted.

Once the Dec. 1 deadline for submissions passes, the Council will meet and review the applicants in an open session. The Coun-cil will have the choice of selecting a new member at the time or choose a slate of candidates to be inter-viewed at the following Committee of the Whole meeting.

Should the council elect to interview candidates,

each candidate will have a formal interview in which they will be asked to present their credentials and respond to a slate of pre-determined questions approved by the Council. Each candidate will have the same questions.

There will follow an in-formal question and answer period with the council.

The council will then vote on candidates until a nominee receives a majority of four votes.

Campbell, Joan10/16/1947 – 11/5/2014

Joan Ann Campbell passed away peacefully after a 4 ½ year battle with cancer on November 5, 2014, at Swedish Hospital in Seattle, surrounded, loved and supported by her family.

Joan was born on October 16, 1947 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, a daughter of Angus Campbell, Ph.D. and Jean (Winter) Campbell. She attended the College of Wooster and transferred to the University of Michigan, where she graduated with

a B.A. in psychology. She later obtained an M.A. in counselor education from Northwestern University and an M.A. in developmental psychology from the University of Michigan.

In 1978, Joan moved to Arlington, Texas as a therapist at the Parenting Guidance Center in Fort Worth. She left as Assistant Executive Director to become Executive Director of the Tarrant Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse.

On May 28, 1988, Joan married Timothy Avery Williams and moved to Issaquah, Washington. She joined Friends of Youth, now in Kirkland, Washington in 1989, where she was eventually promoted to President and CEO. She retired from Friends of Youth in 2011, after 22 years of exemplary service to youth. Her legacy is profound, and the positive impact of her commitment in the lives of young people will extend for generations. In addition to her impact on young people and their families served by Friends of Youth, Joan was a valued role model and mentor to countless colleagues and employees.

Joan is survived by her mother Jean Campbell of Ann Arbor, Michigan; her husband Tim Williams of Issaquah, Washington; her brother Bruce Campbell of St. George, Utah; her sister Carol (Campbell) Welsch of Northville, Michigan; her husband’s daughters Jennifer Williams and Emily Williams of Atlanta, Georgia; nieces Kirsten (Campbell) McCullough and Holly Williams; nephews Rob Campbell, Ian Welsch, and Michael Williams; and grand-children Nicole James and DeMarco Stephens.

In the words of American poet Maya Angelou, “…people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” No-one exemplified those words more than Joan Campbell. A celebration of her life will take place at Seattle First Baptist Church, 1111 Harvard Ave., Seattle WA 98122 at 2 p.m. on Saturday, January 10, 2015.

In lieu of flowers, Joan and her family request that donations be made to Friends of Youth in Kirkland, Washington (www.friendsofyouth.org); the Center for the Education of Women at the University of Michigan (www.cew.umich.edu); or the Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer Research in Seattle,

jobs.“So that supply and demand is really what’s contributing

to the sub shortage and not just in Renton,” Tito said. “This is a regional problem for the Puget Sound Area.”

In the classroomFor Lakeridge Elementary Principal Jessica Calabrese

the problem looks like this: When there’s no substitutes, she has to pull in a patchwork of building staff - such as the librarian, P.E. teacher and sometimes herself - to guest teach in one classroom throughout the day.

“So we piece together a day for them (students), but to them that’s very disconcerting,” Calabrese said. “They’re used to that constant person all day. You have to go in and renew relationships with the kids for a few minutes. It takes up a lot of the instructional time.”

Colin Falk, Nelsen Middle School principal, has often had to combine classes such as P.E. or special education to cover sub shortages. When this happens sometimes teach-

ers don’t get their planning hour because they have to go teach a class.

Sometimes the classes that students are put in don’t match where they are in their regular class in terms of studies.

“They’re not getting the same level of instruction that they would from their regular teacher and if it’s different teachers all day, they’re getting different levels of instruc-tion all day,” said Falk.

Remedies to shortage“We really don’t think that there’s an immediate solu-

tion,” said Tito. She hopes getting the word out will encourage more

people to apply to be substitutes. The district has also made some changes like decrease

the amount of professional development that’s required of teachers. Even this isn’t a true solution though, as teachers might have to stay after school or come in during off hours to get their professional development.

“Given the shortage - all the way around - and trying to have quality systemic professional development for all levels in a consistent way, we really do have to look at different funding models and different structures,” said Sheryl Moore, assistant superintendent for district human resources.

Those different structures include looking at different calendar models for professional development and funding to pay teachers to stay above their base contract.

But these are long-term solutions, she said. For information on jobs in the Renton School District,

Dog & Pony gets ‘Restaurant: Impossible’ makeover

The Food Network is coming to Renton this weekend to help out the Dog & Pony Alehouse and Grill.

Producers, crew and host, Chef Robert Irvine, of the show “Restaurant: Impossible,” will be in Renton today, Friday, Nov. 21 through Sunday, Nov. 23 to transform the restaurant

into hopefully a profitable, sought-after eatery.

The purpose of the show is to makeover a failing restaurant in two days with $10,000 in hopes of catapulting that restaurant to success.

The Food Network is taping the episode on Nov. 22 to 23 and will be work-ing with a slew of local volunters to help with the renovation of the Dog & Pony Alehouse during that time.

Following the renova-tions, there will be a grand re-opening of the Dog &

Pony Alehouse and Grill at 7 p.m., Nov. 23.

The public can make res-ervations for Sunday night by calling the restaurant at

425-254-8080. The Dog & Pony Alehouse is located at 351 Park Ave. N., Renton.

Charles Dickens said, “No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.”

He was speaking of philanthropy - that long and complicated word that is as difficult for some to say as it is to spell.

Merriam-Webster defines philanthropy this way: Philanthropy is the practice of giv-ing money and time to help make life better for other people.

For some of us, philanthropy is a family tradition. For others, it is an obligation. And yet for a very few, it is an inborn need to give back to their community. It exists some-where in their DNA.

Although practiced widely here in the United States, philanthropy is not a universal concept.

So where did the concept initially come from?

According to the National Philanthropic Trust, the formal concept of philanthropy may have originated when Plato died in 347 B.C. and left his farm to his nephew. In his will, Plato gave instructions to give the

proceeds of the farm to the educational academy he founded.

But the concept of acting for the common good has its very roots in survival. As we all know, early Americans banded together to form towns, cities and finally states.

This “crowd sourcing” forced people to com-mit selfless acts and form strong coalitions in an effort to create a better way of life.

As America grew, so did the wealthy.Andrew Carnegie was one of the richest

men in America in the early 20th century. He believed the wealthy had “won” the com-petition of the fittest. But he also believed that with that wealth came an obligation to help others – to improve the civilized world. Therefore, he donated more than $350 mil-lion (considered billions in today’s dollars) to build libraries, concert halls and organiza-tions that would provide the tools necessary for the common man to compete equally, and therefore improve his lot.

Andrew Carnegie is quoted to have said, “The man who dies thus rich dies disgraced.”

Others, like John D. Rockefeller Sr., followed his example, but it wasn’t until Congress finally passed legislation in 1921, giving a tax break to individual donors, that the modern concept of philanthropy really took off.

Today, as the need for charity continues to increase, philanthropy has become an entire industry. There are thousands of nonprofit service providers across the country, working to support the arts, healthcare, education, children and families, the homeless, disabled, seniors and more. There is no shortage of ways an individual can give back to his/her community.

Great news challenge to alliance is finally over

It was great news for local taxpayers to hear that the Washington State Supreme Court denied review of a lawsuit brought on by Valley Medical Commissioner Paul Joos, continuing his challenge of the alliance that was formed in 2011 between Valley Medical and UW Medi-cine. Dr. Joos has continued to challenge earlier court rulings up to the Court of Appeals that ruled in favor of the alliance.

Of course Dr. Joos was able to continue his personal mission to try and unravel the relation-ship with UW Medicine using our tax dollars and patient revenues. The legal fees have been very expensive and have not improved our com-munity one bit.

The goal of the alliance has always been to improve the health of South King County, not to feed egos of the elected officials. It’s no secret that he has been on a mission since being elected to the commission to serve his personal, negative agenda against management.

His efforts have failed and despite his mis-guided agenda, healthcare services available to the public at Valley Medical Center have never been better.

The Valley Medical Center/UW Medicine strategic alliance has proven to be a tremendous asset to this community by improving access to quality services at a reduced cost. It’s great news for our community that this debate fueled by a couple of disgruntled commissioners is finally over.

And now maybe Dr. Joos can devote some time as a commissioner to try and contribute something positive to the operation and future of Valley Medical Center and the community. If not, hopefully he’ll resign from the board and let someone else step in who is more interested in healthcare for south county residents than personal agendas.

Denny Dochnahl,Renton

Election would have put electeds in charge of VMC

The public hospital law says Valley Medi-cal Center elected commissioners may sign contracts, which is the basis for the alliance with UW Medicine.

I attended the first community meeting held for information about the proposed alliance. Coming out of that meeting, I believed the com-missioners would be in charge of running VMC and the Board of Trustees would be in charge of health-care items. That sounded logical to me.

Minutes of an early trustees meeting indicated that the board was discussing VMC employee retirement. I wondered, “What does that have to do with health care?” Since then, the Board of Trustees has made every decision regard-ing VMC with the exception of tax levies. That leaves the Board of Commissioners nothing to do, as you can see by their meeting minutes posted on Valley’s website. The trustees even OK’d the million-dollar salary for CEO Rich Roodman. He no longer attends the Board of Commissioners meetings, so that tells us where the power is.

Although the commissioners are part of the 13 members of the Board of Trustees, they have no clout with the 8 to 5 ratio ... in reality more like 8 to 2 with the way the current commission-ers vote.

Perhaps if the alliance had been put to a vote by hospital tax-paying residents, the elected of-ficials would really be in charge of the hospital.

Elizabeth Cooper,Renton

(Editor’s note: For clarification purposes only, the Board of Commissioners or commissioners refers to the governing board of Public Hospi-tal District No. 1, elected by district residents. The Board of Trustees, or trustees, refers to the governing board of the Strategic Alliance un-der which Valley Medical Center is operated.)

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

[ more LETTERS page 7 ]


So, is there a reward for those of us who step up and do good deeds for our fellow man?

In the now classic movie “It’s a Wonderful Life,” George Bailey’s daughter says, “Look, daddy, teacher says every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings.”

Wings you say?Probably not here on earth. But I like to believe that

somewhere in the universe there is a meter that registers good deeds. If so, I imagine it dings every time someone holds out their hand to someone less fortunate, gives one hour of their time to build a museum, tutors one student struggling in math, or reaches into their pocket to hand a dollar to a homeless person on the street corner.

So where are you on the Good-Deed-O-Meter?As we enter this season of giving and receiving, consider

committing a random act of kindness. Just one. Maybe two.You may not earn your wings just yet. But who knows?The higher number of “dings” you’ve rung up on the

Good-Deed-O-Meter when you step up to those pearly gates, the more likely you’ll be to swoop right past the gatekeeper, rather than having to stop to see if you’re even on the list.

Just sayin’.Lynn Bohart is the executive director of the Renton Community Foundation that oversees a number of indi-vidual charitable funds that provides support to those in need in the greater Renton area. She can be reached at [email protected].

[ BOHART from page 6]

Lawsuit took away from VMC focusI find myself in a unique position in that I am the only

remaining trustee on the UW Medicine/Valley Medical Center Board that approved the Strategic Alliance. I serve on the Valley Board of Commissioners. And I am on the UW Medicine Board.

I have from the very beginning been receptive to the concept of a Strategic Alliance between Valley Medical Center and UW Medicine. In my role as commissioner, I approved the due-diligence process. And after all the diffi-cult work by Valley Medical Center administrative staff, the support of the community and elected officials, it was clear that the alliance would be good for the hospital and the community in moving healthcare forward into the future. And I was right.

Unfortunately, the majority of the Board of Commis-sioners didn’t feel that the Strategic Alliance was legal and thus decided to file a lawsuit. Of course I opposed and expressed my reasons why.

One, UW Medicine was well known as one of the best facilities in the nation and two, proof was in the pudding so to speak, that they knew what they were doing legally. Three, it would be an awful waste of taxpayers funds when we could use that money for healthcare. Four, it was due to personal vendettas and, five, we needed to accept the alli-

ance and get on with hospital business.Forming the Strategic Alliance with UW Medicine has

allowed Valley Medical Center to provide better public access to its clinics, implementation of more sophisticated services, and reduced costs to name a few.

However, filing the lawsuit caused diversions from healthcare, and hundreds of thousands dollars of public funds spent that could have been used for patient care.

And all was for naught. After three courts decisions, the final one, the first week of November, from the Supreme Court validated that the Strategic Alliance was indeed legal.

Unfortunately I was right again. So how do I feel about the Supreme Court decision? I am elated and yet frustrat-ed. Frustrated because as I stated, it was a waste of taxpayer money on both sides, and it took away the main focus of what we are here for.

However, I am elated due to the fact that we can move forward with the Triple Aim: Improving the healthcare for individuals. Improving the health of populations and reducing the cost of healthcare, per capita. And also continue going moving toward an ACO (Accountable Care Organization).Carolyn V. Parnell,Renton

Alliance was already legitimateFollowing are my thoughts on the recent action by the

state Supreme Court to not hear the UW/Valley Medical alliance case:

Finally, the challenge to the alliance between Valley Medical Center and the UW has been settled (Supreme Court denies review of UW-Valley Alliance, Renton Re-porter, Nov. 14). This suit shouldn’t have been brought in the first place.

The alliance was recognized as legitimate from the start when we who were members of the President’s Advisory Committee participated in vetting the alliance. I think that we and many of the Valley Medical staff knew that this alli-ance was a win-win for the folks in Hospital District No. 1: better access and expanded health-care opportunities.

The challenge, I feel, was a thinly disguised plan by the majority of the hospital district board to regain control of

[ LETTERS from page 6]

[ more LETTERS page 8 ]


Valley Medical in order to dump the CEO. The alliance didn’t change the major

mission of the district to regulate and tax the district, it simply reduced some of the district’s say in the management of Valley Med. The alliance was a compromise that resulted in better and more timely access to expanded care for Valley patients.

Not a bad trade! So, the district commissioners squan-

dered almost a half million bucks that could have been used to improve the qual-ity and quantity of health care option for all of us. The only people who appear to have profited from this entire charade were those who represented both parties. We who pay taxes are the ultimate losers.

Perhaps the instigators of this folly

should reimburse the hospital district and UW Medical for the expenses incurred. I hope residents of the hospital district remember this travesty when we vote for the next board.Tom MalmoeRenton

Grant fights obesitySadly, 25 percent of the youth in South

King County are overweight or obese, which is a much higher rate than the rest of the county. I’m writing to express my joy in the fact that Renton, my hometown, was among one of the seven cities to receive a $100,000 King County Youth Sports Facilities Grant to provide outdoor fitness equipment in local parks.

Obesity is a huge problem in America and it saddens me such a large part of the county

where I grew up is struggling. According to Public Health, childhood obesity can lead to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and breathing and joint problems, among other serious conditions. It’s more likely that these children will grow up to become obese adults and be at an increased risk for serious health conditions.

I’m a student at Whitworth University in Spokane and I’m studying health science so I can recognize and appreciate this step toward prevention of childhood obesity. Hopefully this fitness equipment will en-courage children, teens, and parents towards living a healthy lifestyle, which includes physical activity.

My hope is that this preventive step doesn’t go unnoticed by our community and if this action proves even just a little bit successful in combating this issue, I would love to see it implemented in parks across America. I think every step toward making a healthier America, whether big or small, is a win in my book.Paige Berdan,Renton/Spokane

Something worth savingThank you for printing the Nov. 7 article

“Tiffany Park residents challenge school board at hearing.” Local coverage like this makes the Renton Reporter a great newspa-per in service of the community.

The 20 acres of woods are a natural jewel. Their destruction will be a big loss to the city. If other people in the Renton area knew about the woods, they would visit to enjoy the peace and tranquility. Of course, people need places to live, and there are economic benefits to the city from development. But this is the wrong place to develop, the costs outweigh the benefit.

The unique beauty of the woods is appar-ently no factor in the bureaucratic deci-sion. The city and school district have their “process,” and that’s it. However, the school district acknowledges they failed to post the notice for a past meeting, my understand-ing is in 2012. So they need to restart the process at the point before they slipped up.

Our neighborhood is really nice. But this will destroy about the best thing we have, for a short-term financial gain they will most likely squander. We get no consideration in return. We are already plagued with speeding and cut-through traffic on steep Southeast 16th, which we have repeat-edly complained about. Assuming TPW is developed, this will be worsened, especially during construction. Other neighborhoods (Renton Hill) can have a street totally blocked off (Beacon Way South) because city leaders live there. In contrast, the city refuses to consider helping us with traffic calming measures.

Concerning the city planners, at least they have had the honesty to state (in a public meeting) the ugly truth that they consider this a done deal, and that our citizen input will have little or no effect. But in essence, they are saying “We know better. Just pay your taxes. Don’t bother us.”

Maybe 30 years in the future, there might really be a GOOD alternative use for the woods. Why the rush for a short-term payoff? Why not give the city some future flexibility? The city has been handed a golden opportunity. Why not take a little time, instead of the headlong rush? School Board, Mr. Mayor, City Council, and city staff, please retain something wonderful by preserving this unique natural reserve.Daniel Goldman,Renton

Time to give thanks that we garden in Western WashingtonIt is the third week of November and if you have not

cut back and protected tender plants such as dahlias, cannas, bananas and glads then this is your last chance to save these summer bloomers before a deep freeze turns their roots to mush.

There are also some plants not to cut back at this late date. Do not chop hardy fuchsias, sage or salvias, hebes, roses or any other rather tender plant material now. Prun-ing always stimulates growth and this is the month you want your plants to go fast asleep.

The third week of November is also a time to give thanks. If you are lucky enough to live in Western Washington you probably realize we can grow a wide range of plant material in our mild, moist climate. What you may not realize is that we have a wide range of nurseries in our zone as well.

This week, consider what garden-ers in other parts of the country must deal with and take a moment to bow down to Washington:

Be Thankful You don’t Garden in TexasDrought, dust storms and intense summer heat means

you won’t find many fuchsias or ferns but you will find Texas rattlesnakes and horny toads. Besides that you’re expected to wear cowboy boots outdoors – not nearly as comfortable as the plastic garden clogs we get to slip on before weeding or watering.

Be Thankful you don’t Garden in New York CityPrices are higher and people move more quickly but

what would really drive a gardener mad is the price of any outdoor space in the Big Apple. The skyscrapers of any large city block sunlight from plant life and create wind tunnels that suck the life right out of tender flowering plants. The extra noise, crime and litter are signs that NYC could benefit from more gardens and less traffic but this big city is one place you won’t find a cheap source of moo doo – or even a moo.

Be Thankful You Don’t Garden in Los AngelesTalk is cheap but water is expensive in Tinsel Town.

Gardens may get plenty of sunshine but gardeners must use plenty of sun block and also invest in multiple pairs of

sunglasses. If the heat doesn’t wilt your plants the spider mites will. The soil is sandy in LA and not naturally acid so gardeners struggle to grow a decent azalea, rhododendron or camellia. Yuccas grow great all over California – and yuccas come equipped with a pointy barb at the end of each leaf just waiting to inflict pain on unsuspecting gardeners.

Be Thankful You Don’t Garden in New Orleans, Florida, or Alabama…..

The Deep South may be rich with the scent of gar-denias but you won’t be welcoming spring with tulips and daffodils – unless you store these spring blooming bulbs in the refrigerator for a few months. Gardeners also battle June Beetles, spider mites, cinch bugs and snails that make l the pathways crunchy after a rain storm.

Be Thankful you Do Garden in Western Washing-ton

There is no place in the world that grows more beautiful rhododendrons, fuchsias, delphiniums, or ferns. We also enjoy fall color, winter wonderlands and spring flowering bulbs that will return year after year. Western Washington also grows the best tasting blueberries, raspberries and blackberries, we can harvest several crops of lettuce and spinach in a single summer and Swiss Chard will overwinter and act like a perennial.

This week give thanks if you have a yard, balcony or windowsill and can enjoy the wonder of plants.

The public hearing to address appeals brought concerning the proposed Reserve at Tiffany Park got underway Tuesday and are expected to continue Dec. 8.

Developer Henley USA is trying to build a 98-lot sub-division in the Tiffany Park area of Southeast 18th Street and 124th Place, Renton, on 21.66 acres. A group of residents calling themselves the Tiffany Park Woods Advocacy Group (TPWAG) have appealed the State Environmental Protection Act determination of non-significance mitigated.

On Tuesday, Hearing Ex-aminer Phil Olbrechts heard from Nancy Rogers, the attorney representing Henley USA and Daniel McMonagle, the attorney representing TPWAG. Both sides brought forth their subject experts including engineers, arborists

and a licensed geologist and hydrogeologist.

Up for dispute is the envi-ronmental impact Henley’s housing development poses on the existing community in Tiffany Park. Arguments are set to resume Dec. 8 at City Hall in Council Chambers on the seventh floor.

Tiffany Park hearing continued to Dec. 8

N Three area athletes take top league honors

BY BRIAN BECKLEY

[email protected]

Three Renton-area athletes and three local coaches received Athlete of the Year and Coach of the Year honors in the Fall 2014 Seamount League awards.

Renton’s Tyra Beckman was named Athlete of the Year in girls cross country while Renton’s Asia Brisco receives the top honors in girls soccer and Hazen’s Gregg Furumasu was named to the top spot in boys tennis.

Among coaches, Lind-bergh’s Matt Leamer was awarded the football Coach of the Year award, his sec-ond in as many years at the helm of the team. Lind-bergh boys cross country coach Jef Rettmann and Hazen boys tennis coach Gail Ellis were also named Coach of the Year in their sports.

In addition, Lindbergh senior Devon Jackson was

Lindbergh players also named to the all-league first team were defensive end Korey Solo, linebacker D’Shaun Sims, defen-sive back Khalil Burton, offensive guard Johsiah Serquina, who also earned a second-team spot as a defensive end, and run-ning back D’Angelo Faust.

Earning a spot on the

first team from the Hazen Highlanders were defensive tackle Paul Charbonneau and defensive back Marquis Lee, who also earned second-team honors as a running back.

From Renton, quar-terback Elijah Clayton and punter Zach Hasson received first-team honors. Clayton was also named to the second team as a linebacker.

Also named to the sec-ond team from Hazen was center Parker Trewet.

Hazen senior Dominic Green last week officially signed a letter of intent to play basketball at Arizona State University.

Green is the first High-lander boys basketball player to sign a Division I scholarship since Jason

Hamilton signed with San Diego State back in 1992.

He is excited to join the Sun Devils program and said in a press release that he looks forward to play-ing in the Pac 12.

“Their coaching staff is

known for player develop-ment and I really like their up-tempo style of play,” he said in the release.

Green plans to major in communications with an emphasis in broadcast journalism.

When asked what he’ll miss most about Hazen, he replied, “I will miss the friendly environment and all of my supportive friends.”

Coach Ryan Thompson spoke last week at a small event at the school in honor of Green’s signing and said this is only the beginning of the journey for Green.

“We are so proud that Dominic has

reached his goals and look forward to seeing him reach his potential as both a student and athlete at the collegiate level,” added Principal Kate O’Brien.

“Beneficiary Deeds” (or “Transfer on Death Deeds”) will soon be available. They will be helpful to clients with small estates that hold real estate as the only asset that will require probate. With a Beneficiary Deed, the parent can deed real estate to their children (or other beneficiary) during their lifetime. The deed can be revoked until the death of the parent. If not revoked, the deed becomes effective at the death of the parent to vest ownership in the children - - - thus avoiding the need for probate for the real estate. Please contact our office to check out this new strategy.

I have more than 40 years of experience providing thoughtful and comprehensive counsel for clients. Please call 425-227-8700 to make an appointment.Committed to you and the community.

The following was compiled from Renton Police Depart-ment case reports.

BY DEAN A. RADFORD

[email protected]

A 30-year-old Kent man arrested Oct. 27 after he tried to break into a car at Fry’s Electronics was caught trying to conceal heroin in the stolen car he was driving.

The man was spotted next to a black Acura by a Fry’s

security officer with what was described as a “punch key.” Without success, he drove off toward Lowe’s, where he was confronted by Renton police officers. He was wanted on a felony warrant for escape from community custody and had a suspended license for failing to pay traffic tickets.

Officers found nearly $600 in cash in his pockets, which he said was from the sale of a laptop and he also buys and sells used cell phones. The cell phones were

littered throughout the green Acura, along with a digital scale.

An officer saw him move away from the rear of the car and drop something on the driver’s seat. The black sub-stance was recognized as heroin.

He had paid $50 to someone named “Tim” so he could use the green Acura, which had been stolen in Puyallup on Oct. 24. He told officers he had nothing to do with the

Why Choose Invisalign?Until recently, if you had crooked and misaligned teeth the only solution was traditional dental braces. A new technology in dentistry has been developed for people wanting a straighter smile without traditional braces. This dental breakthrough is the Invisalign system, and is a much more discreet and painless way to achieve a perfect smile.

“stuff ” that was in the car’s trunk.The suspect was booked into the SCORE regional jail for

felony investigation of drug possession and possession of a stolen vehicle, along with his warrant.

Robbery suspect ID’d but releasedA 23-year-old Renton man was positively identified

Oct. 24 by an 18-year-old woman as the man armed with a handgun who robbed her of her wallet.

But the investigating officer started having doubts about the woman’s story because of the 30-minute delay in re-porting the incident and the fact she was on “restrictions” for smoking.

The woman was walking on Houser Way South from the Renton Transit Center when a man showed her a black handgun in his waistband and grabbed her wallet. He ran off and she stood frozen for a few moments before going home.

Officers, including a Tukwila K9 unit, searched without success for the stolen items. The suspect was found nearby; he matched the clothing description almost exactly but was cooperative and denied robbing anyone.

She identified the man. In giving a written statement, she indicated she delayed going home because she thought two girls were going to fight and she wanted to watch. At home she didn’t tell her mother about the robbery because of the restrictions, but she blurted out she had been robbed after they argued.

The Renton man was released because the woman’s story just didn’t add up. She was given a case number and the case was forwarded to detectives.

Man offers rides, scares school kidsA man driving near 161st Avenue Southeast and South-

east 144th Street at about 7:30 a.m. Oct. 31 asked children waiting at a bus stop whether they wanted a ride to school.

The children screamed and ran home to tell their mother.

The vehicle was described as a silver-colored van.

Four cars prowled at stadiumFour cars were prowled Oct. 28 in the parking lot at

Renton Memorial Stadium during the Hazen-Tyee girls soccer game.

One victim’s purse was stolen; a school backpack con-taining four school books was taken. Two other vehicles also suffered damage, but nothing apparently was taken.

Several hundred dollars worth of damage was done.

Man in mask tries to rob PopeyesA man wearing a skeleton mask jumped over the counter

at Popeyes Chicken on Southwest Seventh Street Oct. 31 and tried to open the cash register.

As he jumped the counter, the suspect pulled the fire-suppression cable. That caused the fryers to boil over and distract employees. He then tried but failed to open the cash register.

A Tukwila Police K9 unit searched the area but the sus-pect had fled. However, the suspect is possibly known.Dean A. Radford can be reached at 425-255-3484, ext. 5150.
