Following an incident in which the police were called to stop a fight between two homeless men at the Renton Salva-tion Army, the Renton Meal Coalition is re-evaluating its safety guidelines for each of its meal programs.
On March 9 the police were called to the Salvation Army building on Tobin Avenue South to respond to two males fighting in the street. According to police records and witness accounts, a 71-year-old man struck a 25-year-old man with his canes and then pulled a knife on the 25-year-old.
In the end, both men were banned by the Salvation Army from the meal program there for six months.
That decision sparked debate between Renton Ecumeni-cal Association of Churches (REACH) and the Sanctuary for All Needing Equality and Respect (SANER) about the punishment that was meted out by the Salvation Army and the safety guidelines that exist around the groups’ meal pro-grams. Members of REACH and SANER have both said in meetings that food should not be used as a punitive tool.
The Salvation Army and REACH make up the Renton Meal Coalition. SANER is a group of homeless individuals and volunteers, who meet at the Harambee Center during REACH’s Warm-up Breakfast program. All three organiza-tions currently have their own set of guidelines for commu-nity conduct during the meals.
The relationship between the Salvation Army and REACH has been “fine,” according to Maggie Breen, REACH execu-tive director, but there seems to be a need for more commu-nication.
“We just want to make sure that the three programs are talking to each other as well as we possibly can,” she said. “And I’m just concerned because we had this incident and the community was upset by it, that we do that as well as we possibly can.”
The 25-year-old who was involved in the fight has not been banned from any of REACH’s meal programs because, Breen said, the group has a different relationship with him than the Salvation Army. The older man in the incident has disap-peared, but Breen said they would talk to him first if he were

around and then decide appropriate consequences for his actions.
“Bottom line, if some-one is acting in a way that makes the community un-safe, then they can’t come in,” said Breen. “But we’re not just going to drop people. We’re not going to say you can’t come in for three weeks and we never want to see you again.”
Breen said it’s about maintaining relationships with people and mak-ing sure they are getting referred to the proper resources. She doesn’t disagree with the Salva-tion Army’s decision, but maintains that REACH has a different relationship with one of the individuals involved.
Michael Lifer, a member of SANER, is formerly homeless and knows how hard it is to be on the streets day in and day out.
Lifer thinks that there is a philosophical difference in the way that the Salva-tion Army and SANER construct their community guidelines.
SANER’s guidelines were established by the homeless people they were to govern and the Salvation Army’s guide-lines were created by management, Lifer said. The reason why incidents don’t happen in the other meal program set-tings outside the Salvation Army is because the people there intervene themselves when others get unruly, he said.
At the Salvation Army, people wait for the staff to intervene because that’s how the rules have been
set up. “It doesn’t feel like it’s
their place; there’s no own-ership,” said Lifer.
He was absent from the last attempt to align the rules of all three organiza-tions because he didn’t like that the meeting was being held in a back room
of the Haram-bee Center and not in the main lobby amongst participants of the Warm-up Break-fast program.
“These are well-meaning people, it’s just that they’re trying to superimpose their values on us,”
Lifer said of the Salvation Army and REACH. “The Salvation Army is all about rules; REACH is all about nurture. You have to put them together.”
At the meeting, repre-sentatives of the other two groups agreed to keep the community-established guidelines that SANER de-
veloped, but use REACH’s guidelines as the over-arching rules for all of REACH’s meal programs, including the programs that SANER members attend.
“The recent confronta-tion that prompted this conversation happened at the Salvation Army Program,” said Breen. “We are interested in being good partners and offering our support where we can, but we are very happy with how things have been going at our programs. We take this work very seri-ously.”
According to Breen, there have been no “issues” at any of REACH’s meal programs.
Renton Salvation Army representatives did not attend the April 6 meeting with REACH and SANER on community guidelines. Requests for comment from the Salvation Army were not returned before deadline of this issue.

son, Ed Prince and Greg Taylor all coming to the end of their terms. Ruth Perez is required by law to run for the seat to which she was appointed earlier this year.
Law was first elected mayor in 2007, just before the national recession hit. In a phone call this week, Law said after spending two terms trying to man-age the city amidst falling revenues and other chal-lenges, he hopes to spend a
third term with an improv-ing economy to be able to “see through” some of the programs and projects that began under his watch.
Specifically, Law said he was excited that the Down-town Core is on the verge of a rejuvenation and that the Sunset Terrace project in the Highlands will mean good things for the city.
“It’s a great opportunity to complete these tasks,” he said.
Law also said he wants to continue working on
chang-ing the “culture” inside City Hall to a more customer service-based model, as well as work to bring parks and other resources to parts of the city where they are lacking. The mayor also said he plans to continue to make Renton an “inclusive city,” including mak-
ing sure the relationship between the citizens and the police department is strong.
“We’ve made steps forward and I want to continue to make sure it really becomes part of who we are,” he said.

FAMILY LAW
BY TRACEY COMPTON
For some parents, navigating their child’s school system may not be as straightforward as one might think. There may be language or cultural barri-ers that make it challeng-ing, or young parents may simply just not know where to start.
In March, the Renton School District started its Parent Academy for Stu-dent Achievement (PASA), a parent-engagement program designed to help break down barriers to helping students succeed, starting with obstacles their parents might face.
It’s a nine-week program taught by parents and funded through the Race to the Top grant. A pilot program, PASA is just at Honey Dew and Highlands elementary schools.
“Giving others the benefit of learning from someone who has or is currently parenting a school-aged child saves time and energy, not to mention frustration,” said Dee Dee Bashaw, par-ent peer trainer.
Bashaw is one of the 21 parents hired by the YMCA, a partner, to teach other parents about how to navigate the school system, how to support student suc-cess in reading and math and achieve their child’s academic goals. She has two children in the district and has been involved in her kids’ preschool board, PTA and has been a parent class helper. Her network of connections have given her and her children “a sense of acceptance in an amazing, supportive community,” Bashaw said.
District administrators are hoping to foster that same type of network of parent-leaders with PASA and ultimately get students
to graduate on time.“A lot of times schools
will have programs for parents, but it might be a teacher, teachers teaching the parents,” said Melanie Strey, district director of elementary standards-based instruction and profes-sional learning. “And this one really grows a body of parent-leaders within that school community to have this knowledge about their child’s school to be able to share it within their com-munity.”
With more than 100 par-ents participating, there are classes in English, Spanish, Vietnamese and interpret-ers for American Sign Language and Romanian.
“I spent much time talk-ing with parents before and after school before I began the PASA program and it became very clear that a lot of parents were greatly dis-connected, mainly because they didn’t know when or how to communicate with their children’s teach-
ers outside of the parent teacher conferences,” said Chandra Goodwin, parent-peer trainer. “Some didn’t know that they could.”
The program allows her to relate and empower par-ents regarding their child’s education, Goodwin said.
PASA can also help breakdown the intimida-tion parents might feel around the school system and prepare them to be more committed to school committees and councils, said Kim Von Wald.
She is the YMCA senior program director of early learning and family pro-grams.
Parents most want to know about Common Core State Standards, Smarter Balanced Assessments, figuring out how to get
information and what ques-tions to ask to see if their child will graduate on time. The questions and feedback that the parent peer train-ers gather from parents is then shared with the school principals and teaching staff.
“So we’re really trying to build a two-way communi-cation,” said Strey.
The administrator said the program is trying to build “cultural navigators,” or parents who know a culture or speak a particu-lar language in their school communities and connect with them.
Parents teaching parents puts everyone on mutual ground, said Bashaw.
“I like guiding and shar-ing what I’ve learned, and I really love that I get all of that, and more, right back when others do the same for me,” she said.
PASA helps parents to break down barriers
Parents at a recent Parent Academy for Student Achievement night learn from each other’s experience. COURTESY RENTON SCHOOL DISTRICT
April 10, 2015[6] www.rentonreporter.com
There was to be no pomp or ceremony this past week when Gov. Jay Inslee planned to sit down with the Democrat and Republi-can leaders of the House and Senate to talk budget.
Rather, the state’s chief executive and four caucus honchos tried to figure out what routes to take — and which to avoid — to reach agreement in the 18 days left before the Legislature is scheduled to adjourn.
What should be apparent, though maybe not admitted in this particular gathering, is neither majority party enjoys much bargain-ing advantage at the outset of this year’s negotiations because the balance of power in each chamber is, well, pretty balanced.
In the House, Democrats only outnumber Republicans 51-47. That doesn’t give Speaker Frank Chopp, D-Seattle, much extra muscle with which to try to impose his will on the process.
In the Senate, Republicans operate with a 26-23 edge on Democrats. (The Republican Caucus has 25 adherents of the Grand Old
Party and one centrist Democrat). That doesn’t provide Senate Majority Leader Mark Schoesler, R-Ritzville, much extra strength to force matters his way either.
Such numeric equality fuels optimism among Olympia’s political class
— sort of like what Chicago Cub fans feel this time of the season — in the ability of the House and Senate to reach the hundreds of little compromises on spending that are the guts of the 500-page spending tome.
These are the $1 million, $5 million and $10 million decisions for budgets of state agencies and the provisos for studies, task forces and reports to the Legislature.
These same insiders’ aren’t quite so ef-fervescent about lawmakers easily resolving conflicts between the chambers on modi-fying the initiative for smaller class sizes, increasing state worker pay and hiking taxes.
This is where they hope House Democrats and Senate Republicans are cognizant of the thin ice on which they’ve set their bargaining stakes.
Consider the House’s position. Democrats pushed through their two-year $38.8 billion spending plan on a party -ine vote but have not yet passed the $1.5 billion package of tax increases needed to pay for it all.
Democrat leaders insist the votes are there and brush off repeated challenges by Repub-lican counterparts to prove it. Democrats contend if they did pass it and sent it to the Senate for consideration it would be ignored so why go through the exercise.
Senate budget negotiators will no doubt point out this shortcoming as they look to whittle down the size of the House Demo-crats plan.
In the meantime, Senate negotiators are operating on weaker ground in some areas themselves, after what happened in a mara-thon session that began the afternoon April 2

We read with interest Mayor Law’s Op-Ed in the March 20 issue of the Renton Reporter. It is great to see that the mayor is concerned with the transportation issues facing our region and the important funding decisions being made in Olympia.
But we’d feel a whole lot better if Mayor Law and his staff would show leadership at the local level and accept responsibility for the forces within their own local control. I’m speaking specifically of the city’s decision to continue to approve new residential subdivisions that add hundreds of vehicle trips per day to the 156th Avenue Southeast / Southeast 154 Place intersec-tion – an intersection that the city acknowledges to be “failing.”
Those who use the that corridor for their daily commute may share our frustration. Morning commute traffic stacks up in both directions on the Maple Valley Highway just to reach 154th Place Southeast. Evening traffic backs up on 156th Avenue Southeast, keeping long-time resi-dents like ourselves trapped on our side streets, hoping for a long-awaited break in traffic.
State law (RCW 58.17) requires that the city do two important things as part of any prelimi-nary plat approval. First, it requires that the city make an affirmative finding that appropriate provisions have been made for the public health, safety, and general welfare, including streets and roads. Secondly, the law requires the city to make an affirmative finding that the public use and interest will be served by approving a new subdivision.
We find it difficult to understand how add-ing new traffic to a failing intersection is in the public interest.
When the City of Renton Fire Department responds to a house fire, is it in the public inter-est for them to add gasoline to the blaze? When a storm water grate is plugged, is it in the public interest for our Street Department to rush to the scene with new leaves to add to the gutter – even one leaf? And when the sewer main is plugged, is it in the public interest for the Sewer Depart-ment to go door to door asking people to flush with abandon – or even once?
Why, then, does the city continue to find that it is in the public interest to approve subdivisions like “The Enclave at Bridle Ridge” and “Alpine Nursery,” which it acknowledges will add traffic to this failing intersection?
Instead of being willing to say “No” to the new traffic-generating subdivisions, which flow through the approval process faster than the traf-fic on I-405, the city keeps saying “Yes,” despite clear evidence that adding this new traffic is not in the public interest.
We are currently appealing the city’s compli-ance with RCW 58-17, but citizens of our city should not have to reply upon the courts to protect their public interest. That is the job of the mayor, his staff, and the City Council.
Sure, we’d like to see the Legislature do some good for our city this session, but wouldn’t it be nice to see Mayor Law and the City Council ac-knowledge the crisis in our community, and take the proactive action that is in their control?

their proposed $37.8 billion budget with a rule change requiring a supermajority vote of 60 per-cent to pass any amendment offered on the floor. This meant passage required votes of at least 30 of the 49 senators.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
[7]April 10, 2015www.rentonreporter.com
Homeowners waste a lot of money try-ing to have a lovely landscape. The biggest waste could be the amount of water used to keep lawns green and plants healthy.
Local water districts have been offering free classes and garden seminars to educate their customers on how to use water most efficiently to keep their lawns and land-
scapes healthy. (I’ll be speaking at Point Defiance on April 21 about “The Un-Thirsty Landscape” as part of the Friendly Tacoma Yards Program.)
Here are 5 Dirt Cheap Garden Tips
that you can bank on:1. Mulch around your trees and shrubs
now to seal in spring moisture. A mulch is like a frosting that sits on top
of the soil to keep out weeds and con-serve water. Bark dust, wood chips, gravel and composted moo doo are all types of
mulches that can pay dividends later in the summer with fewer weeds and lower water bills. Mulch is an investment that saves our liquid assets.
2. Learn how to grow a healthy lawn without chemicals.
By aerating your lawn in the spring, using lime to break up clay and keep down moss and not mowing the grass too short you can skip the expensive weed and feed products in favor of slow-release nitrogen lawn foods that will keep the grass thick enough to crowd out weeds.
The most important time to fertilize you lawn is in the fall and spring before summer weeds can take over. Mow your grass when the blades are three inches tall and remove just one-third of the blade so the lawn grasses are never shorter than two inches.
One more thing – leave the grass clip-pings on the lawn. They will decompose to add free nitrogen to the soil.
3. Invest in smaller less expensive trees
and shrubs and watch them grow. Young shrubs in one gallon pots are
easier to transport, easier to transplant and will adjust more quickly to your soil. You’ll also have the joy of watching them grow up and out for years before you have to worry about them growing too large for their space.
4. Look to your kitchen cupboard for dirt cheap pest control.
Aphid and white fly can be sprayed with a soapy mix made from a mild dishwash-ing soap. Scale insects can be controlled by dipping a cotton swab into rubbing alcohol
and black spot on roses can be prevented using skim milk painted on the undersides of the foliage.
5. Recycle and Reuse – especially when it comes to containers.
Cardboard egg cartons make great seed starting cubbies and recycling galvanized buckets, garbage cans or even wooden packing pallets are all ways to grow more while buying less.
One of the best ways to recycle empty water bottles is to use them in the bottom one third of large pots as drainage material. The empty plastic bottles not only keep the planter lightweight and draining freely but also mean you’ll need less potting soil to fill up your container.
Great lawn, landscaping doesn’t require lots of water
You’ve built a great life doing things you love. Being with friends. Pursuing fun hobbies. Choosing the way you spend your days.

sored amendments. Of those 10 received 25 or more votes, which is a majority in the chamber.
A key one dealt with pay hikes for state workers. The Senate budget contained raises of $1,000 per employee per year. The amendment called for approving new contracts negotiated between the state employee unions and the governor’s office, putting it in line with the House budget.
Six Republicans joined the 23 minority Democrats to support the revision but, because of the rule, it failed 29-20. You can
bet House Democrats will remind their Senate counterparts of this philosophical majority on this critical matter.
Not to be forgotten in the coming days is the importance the minority parties in each caucus will play. Their members will be engaged in the shuttle diplomacy required to reach a bipartisan deal.

Joe Galloway, the Vietnam correspondent whose book “We Were Soldiers Once… and Young” and the movie “We Were Soldiers” that was produced from it, will be in Seattle doing a week of interviews with Vietnam veterans as a special project for the 50th Anniversary Com-memorative.
Galloway has been go-ing around the country doing three two-hour in-terviews a day with Viet-nam veterans from across the services spectrum and by now has well over 75 two-hour interviews done, as he explained it, “beginning with Colin Powell and working out-ward.”
Galloway was a Texas boy who became a cor-respondent for United Press International and, in the battle of Ia Drang that his book and its movie adaptation made famous, he was decorat-ed for heroism on the battle� eld, receiving the bronze star for rescuing two wounded soldiers while under � re. He was praised by the late Gen. Norman Schwartzkopf as “the soldiers’ reporter” because of his caring and regard for those whose battles he covered.

Seattle and Washington State have an unusual role in the Vietnam War Commemoration, a national initiative to thank Vietnam veterans a half century after the United States rapidly escalated its deployment of troops to South Vietnam following the Gulf of Tonkin incident. Many of the troops who returned home were met with disdain rather than with the thanks that veterans of other conflicts received.
Joe Galloway, the Vietnam correspondent who authored the book “We Were Soldiers Once... And Young” (adapted into the 2002 film “We Were Soldiers”), is in Seattle for a week of interviews with local Vietnam veterans. He will speak at Seattle Rotary’s noon luncheon April 15 and will be featured at a breakfast interview session at the Columbia Tower Club on April 17.
The Vietnam War Commemoration is aimed at spurring events and activities in states, cities and towns around the country to recognize Vietnam veterans and their families for their service and sacrifice.
The partners’ program is designed for state and local communities, veterans’ organizations and other nongovernmental organizations to assist in thanking and honoring Vietnam Veterans and their families.

The Hazen boys soccer team bookended their weekend with a hard-fought win over Renton on Friday and a tough loss to Kennedy Catholic on Monday.
Though Hazen controlled much of Friday’s game at Renton Memorial Stadium, the Indians put up a strong fight, forcing action on both sides of the field.
Reyes Garcia started the scoring for the Highlanders in the 17th minute, taking a pass from Robbie Schroeder and putting it in the net. At the 33-minute mark, Jorge Aguirre made it 2-0 off an assist from Ethan Kem.
Renton scored five minutes into the second half to make it 2-1, but at 62 minutes, Drew Wilson notched an insurance goal off an assist from Zach Quesnel.
Things got interesting in stoppage time, however, when Renton was awarded a penalty kick and keeper Jaime Martinez had to make a stop to protect the two-goal lead.
“Renton surprised me; they’re better than their record,” coach Ken Mat-thews said in a press release.
Matthews also cited the defensive play of Cristhian Rios as key to the team’s win.
On Monday, the Highlanders traveled to Starfire Stadium for a match-up with Seamount powerhouse Kennedy.
Matthews said the match was mostly a “dead heat” with both teams get-ting good chances.
Five minutes into the second half, Kennedy pushed a goal through and then held on as Hazen had trouble getting its passing game going.
“We were out of sync tonight,” Matthews said. “If there’s a silver lining, we play Kennedy again and we’ll be better.”

Hazen soccer tops Renton, but falls to Kennedy
BY BRIAN BECKLEY
The Hazen girls tennis team stayed undefeated in the Seamount league on Monday, but just barely, eking out a 4-3 win at home against Renton.
In the end, Hazen won all of the singles matches, while Renton won all three doubles matches.
“Most of the matches were really close and could have gone either way,” Coach Gail Ellis said in an email. “This is definitely one of the best Renton teams I’ve seen in a long time.”
In singles play, Hazen’s first singles
player Misa Takami had little trouble in her match against Kimy Hoang, winning 6-0, 6-0. But in second singles, Hazen’s Catherine Lin had some trouble with Renton’s Ana Santos, who played hard, though Lin ultimately won 6-4, 4-6, 6-4.
In third singles Kristy Huynh defeated Corisa Leon 6-2, 6-0 and in fourth singles Adress Chan beat Isabelle Saechao 6-0, 6-1.
But on the doubles courts, the Indians were able to turn the tables.
In first doubles, the Renton team of Hafely Heng and Yoon Manivann beat MinhThu Nguyen and Amy
Huynh 6-1, 7-6 (7-1). In second doubles, Renton’s Thoa Nguyen and Xiuhua Wu dropped the first set but rallied to beat Gabbie Solis and Kelly Lo 2-6, 6-2, 7-5.
In third doubles, the team of Yesena Cruz and Vivian Vo beat Constance La and Lilian Mai 6-2, 4-6, 6-1.
Hazen is now 3-1 on the season and 3-0 in the Seamount. They were scheduled to travel to Kennedy Tuesday.
Renton falls to 2-2 overall and in the league and was scheduled to host Evergreen Tuesday.

BY BRIAN BECKLEY
The Liberty softball team suffered its first two losses of the season this week, falling to Lake Washington 5-0 on Monday and then 5-1 on Tuesday. The losses came after the team racked up its seventh win on Friday against Interlake.
The Patriots went to Interlake on April 3 and quickly fell behind as Interlake put up 2 runs in the first inning. But Liberty never backed down and plated a run in the fourth to cut the lead to 2-1, only to see Interlake score again in the
bottom of the inning.But again, Liberty battled, scoring 4 runs in the top of the
fifth and then adding a run in each the sixth and seventh inning to come away with a 7-4 victory.
Hannah McMullin and Sydney Hopper again led the way for Liberty. Hopper went 2-for-5 with 3 RBI while McMul-lin went 2-for-3 at the plate with a triple and an RBI. Jayme Shaw also added 2 RBI for the Patriots.
Hopper also picked up the win, striking out 10 and walk-ing 2 in 7 innings of work. Only one of Interlake’s runs was earned as Liberty posted six errors in the game.
Things did not go as smoothly on Monday, as Lake Wash-ington held Liberty to just 2 hits and no runs in a 5-0 loss.
On Tuesday, the two teams faced off again and, unfortu-nately for the Patriots, the results were very similar.
Liberty scored first, on a home run from Kendal Kauzlar-ich, but Lake Washington answered with two of their own in the bottom of the inning.
The score stayed 2-1 until the fifth when Lake Washing-ton was able to plate three more runs and then hold on for the 5-1 win.
Hopper picked up the loss for the Patriots. She gave up 5 runs, all earned, on 8 hits with 5 strikeouts and 2 walks.
Liberty is now 7-2 on the season overall and was sched-uled to play Bellevue today, Friday.
