Church, city host frank discussion about race relations in RentonBY TRACEY COMPTON
Living Hope Christian Fellowship celebrated the life of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Monday with a frank community discussion on race relations in Renton.
A diverse audience of close to 50 people turned out to hear a panel of city government and local leaders address the theme of “Building Healthy Bridges Across Racial Divides.”
The panel included Renton representatives City Council President Ed Prince, Chief Administrator Jay Covington, Chief of Police Kevin Milosevich and Deputy Public Affairs Administrator Preeti Shridhar. Author and college professor Marcia Tate Arunga
was also on the panel as was Troy Landrum, youth pastor at the church and a YMCA outreach worker.
Associate Pastor George Houston and Lead Pastor Jess Champers moderated the talk that asked the panel what racial conflicts or challenges have they experienced in their positions and how did they resolve them.
Shridhar kicked off the discussion sharing the city’s first big wake-up call that officials couldn’t do things as before when dealing with Renton’s diverse community: It was the windstorm of 2006 and local residents were dying of carbon monoxide poisoning because they didn’t understand the warnings about bringing outdoor barbecues inside.

Suspect in robbery, throat-slashing held on $1 million bail
BY DEAN A. RADFORD
Kiersten M. Shideler is now at home, where she is continuing her recovery from an assault Jan. 14 in which her throat was slit by a robbery suspect at a downtown Renton store.
Darren L. Gayles, 44, was charged Jan. 16 with first-degree robbery and first-degree assault for the robbery and attack at about 11 a.m. at GameStop video store on South Second Street.
He slit Shideler’s throat after he ordered her to open the cash register; he stole about $150, according to charging documents.
Shideler’s family has kept the community informed about her recovery at an online gofundme.com fundraiser to help pay for her medical costs. Shideler, 23, had spent several days in the intensive-care unit at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
“We are overwhelmed by the love and support we have received from the community in dealing with

A re-pricing of parking spaces for Metro riders at the Transit Center parking garage has sparked a minor controversy between the city and the bus provider.
The city for 2015 renegotiated its lease with Metro, doubling the cost of each space in the garage reserved for the bus service, though, accord-ing to the city, the cost to Metro is still cheaper than comparable garages around the region.
In response, Metro reduced the number of spaces it is paying for from from 200 to 150, though there will still be a net gain to the city coffers.
Previously, Metro was paying the city $15 per space per month for 200 spaces at the downtown garage.
Under the new agreement they will pay $30 per space per month for 150 spaces.
Non-Metro users pay $42.50 per month to Diamond Parking, the company that manages the garage for the city. City studies show that on average, 86 percent of the city’s 200 spaces are used each day.
Renton Facilities Director Peter Renner said Metro initially “balked” at the price increase because they did not have the funding allocated in their budget. Initially, Metro wanted
to reduce the number of reserved spaces to 100, but a study by the city showed that Metro users take up an average of 170 spaces each day, prompting Metro to raise their num-ber of reserved spots to 150.
According to Renner, negotiations on the new contract began in 2013 and were signed in November, with Metro agreeing to pay the difference between the two rates dating to Janu-ary 2014.

The Renton School District recently part-nered with the Washington Department of Agriculture on a nutrition program for the district.
It’s called the Farm to School program and its goal is to increase the purchasing
of produce grown by local farmers to serve in schools. During the two year grant, the district’s Nutrition Services Department increased by nine fold the dollar amount spent on produce purchased from lo-cal farms, which also helped introduce students to new and different fruits and vegetables grown here in the Pacific North-west.

In recent months, teachers have expressed their frustrations with the lack of support for aligning curriculum with the new national reading, writing and math stan-dards adopted by the state.
In response, administrators an-nounced at a School Board study session Jan. 14 a plan to be more transparent with their work and updated the Renton School Board on their progress.
This past Friday, Jan. 16, the Renton School District began send-ing twice weekly updates to teach-ers about progress made with the implementation of standards-based instructional materials.
Administration is working with different obstacles and conditions in each of the school buildings and teacher frustrations are the result of a combination of things, Melanie Strey said. She is the director of standards-based instruction for the elementary schools.
“Which is why we’re moving to our update twice a week to all grade levels to let them know about this work,” she said. “We’re working on it and to give them kind of the short-term, here’s what we’re work-ing on now, but here’s where we want to go.”
In their presentation, administra-tors said that the “standards are the ends” and “the curriculum is the means” to this work. This means that the standards are what the students are expected to learn and the curriculum is the collection of resources used to help the students meet the standards.
When Washington formally adopted the Common Core State
Standards in July 2011, there were no funds designated for curriculum adoption and limited funds for professional learning. There was also no existing plan for transition to the new state standards.
These issues, along with the dis-trict’s inability to require teachers to attend district-provided profes-sional development, no account-ability for using district-adopted curriculum, a lack of district facili-tators to lead the work and separate and varied curriculum for special education students, created teacher frustrations at the outset, according to the district.
In 2011 only 47 percent of cours-es had course guides in place that aligned with the state standards at that time, not the new Common Core standards. The current reality is that just 30 percent of the cur-riculum is aligned to the Common Core State Standards.
“We’re going to have to get those percentages up,” said Dr. Tammy Campbell, assistant superintendent of learning and teaching.
The goal for her department is to get the percentages up in the 90s.
“We know we have room for
improvement,” she said.The district is currently working
out the power standards, which are the Common Core State Standards, which must be taught at every grade level from preschool to 12th grade. These standards must be taught and assessed so that students graduate on-time with choices, like pursuing a college degree.
There is a 125-member leader-ship team of teachers and admin-istrators working on the power standards.
“Where we’re struggling is that we went from just a couple years ago having this opportunity to pull all second-grade teachers to the dis-trict and provide them professional learning and hear their concerns and answer their questions,” said Strey. “We went from that model to now having the sub shortage, which means we can maybe only pull one teacher from the grade level, or one teacher from a school, or it’s after school and they (teachers) have commitments.”
Administrators are strategiz-ing and doing site visits to make teachers feel supported and to increase communication. The new
weekly updates on standards-based instructional materials are part of that strategy.
“So I think that strategy is going to help us and help our teachers really know that we are, on their behalf, wanting to serve them and support them,” said Strey.
The time horizon for aligning courses to the Common Core Stan-dards is three to four years to get up to 90 percent, Campbell said.
It can take up to a year and a half to adopt materials, but administra-tors said that they are committed to working with teachers to ensure the right materials are adopted.
Teachers are feeling stress and anxiety because of a “perfect storm” of issues and pressures they are experiencing, according to admin-istrators.
They’ve had to contend with the Common Core State Standards in 2011, new teacher and principal evaluations in 2013, as well as re-quirements for the Race to the Top in 2013 and now Smarter Balance Assessments in 2015, the Common Core assessments.
“I think the stress that the teach-ers are feeling is real, but it’s the why,” said Campbell citing all of these factors.
Teachers have also had to adjust to a number of new leaders at the district and school level.
“We know that they’re frustrated and we hear this,” said Strey.
The district has identified its short- and long-term plans for this year concerning pre-kindergarten through 12th grade English Learn-ing Arts and mathematics. Admin-istration will have to start thinking outside the box to figure out how to get teachers the professional development support they need, Strey said.
“We feel the urgency; we know that this is really important work,” she said.

[ SLASHING from page 1] this tragedy,” her family wrote in a statement while she was at Harborview.
They expressed gratitude for the Renton Police De-partment’s quick response and the information shared by “traditional and social media” that helped lead to the suspect’s arrest.
Gayles is being held in the King County Jail in downtown Seattle on $1 million bail. His arraign-ment is Jan. 29 at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. The county’s jail in Seattle houses inmates with serious mental health issues.
“The action of the defen-dant, in pulling the victim’s head back before he cut her throat with his knife, is clearly evidence of his intent to cause great bodily harm, if not death,” pros-ecutors wrote in charging
documents in requesting the bail.
Gayles has an extensive criminal history in Indiana, where there is an extradi-tion warrant for his return.
Another GameStop employee who had stopped by was talking with Shideler when she noticed Gay-les outside the store. He walked away. She left to go to Safeway as Gayles was walking back toward her, wearing something wrapped around his lower face. Something about him or the situation alarmed her, according to charging documents. She saw him walk into GameStop.
Shideler opened a locked case so Gayles could look at an accessory. As she turned, he grabbed her by the shoulders and held a knife to her throat, according to charging documents.
He pushed her toward the cash register, where he ordered her to give him the money inside. Following company policy, she didn’t resist. It’s estimated he stole about $150.
Gayles ordered her to the ground, following her down.
According to charging documents, once Shideler was on her hands and
knees, Gayles grabbed the back of her head with his left hand and cut her throat with the knife in his right hand.
She fell to the ground, holding her neck. Still con-cerned, the other GameStop employee returned. Gayles was standing at the register. He yelled out the store was closed and the employee backed away.
But Shideler, now wounded, retreated to a back room and was able to call 911 at 10:58 a.m. The other GameStop employee watched Gayles walk down South Second Street just as a Renton Police officer arrived.
Shideler had locked her-self in the back room. She was taken to Harborview Medical Center with what were described as signifi-cant injuries.
Images of Gayles taken on GameStop cameras and surveillance cameras at the Metro Transit Center near-by were sent to local news media, social media outlets and other police agencies. One camera showed him changing his clothes.
Gayles was arrested at about 5 p.m. at the Creston Point apartments on Martin Luther King Jr. Way, after a Renton Police officer spot-ted him wearing the same distinctive shirt he wore when he got on the Route 101 bus. A backpack Gayles apparently wore during the robbery was found outside the apartment complex, where he had stayed.
After shown photos, Gay-les admitted he robbed the store but he didn’t mean to hurt Shideler, according to charging documents.
Gayles then introduced “Rob,” who was at the store and told him to commit the crime, according to charging documents. When detectives asked him to describe “Rob,” he pointed to pictures of himself and said “him.”

Generally mild weather this fall has extended the algae-growing season on lakes across King County and toxic cyanobacteria (also known as blue-green algae) are currently bloom-ing along some shorelines on Lake Washington, including Gene Coulon Memorial Park in Renton.
Some cyanobacteria present are toxic; avoid all contact to be safe.
The King County Environmental Labora-tory found concentrations above the state recreational
guideline that are poten-tially dangerous for human health. “Scums” or ac-cumulation of toxic algae were found at Gene Coulon Park, Arrowhead Point in Kenmore, Mercer Island and Magnuson Park, but they may be found in other areas because the blooms float and are moved easily by the wind.
People and dogs should
not swim, wade, or play in lake if a blue-green algae or scum is present.
Toxic blue-green algae can affect humans and make animals very ill, even proving fatal to dogs if ingested in large quantities. If swallowed, the mycrocys-tin algae toxin may cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, and in some cases, severe liver toxicity.
Some people or dogs may be sensitive to touching the toxins and have mouth or nose irritation and skin rash.
Dog owners should not allow their dogs to have any contact with the water if there is an algae bloom or scum nearby.
Local and state staff will continue to sample for tox-icity until the bloom ends.
Potentially toxic algae found at CoulonRenner said the city felt
it was not “the equivalent amount of respect for our costs to run the garage … versus the investment Metro and Sound Transit have made elsewhere.” Renner and other city officials characterized the relationship as the city “subsidizing” the parking spaces of Metro riders.
The $8.5 million garage was opened in 2003 and was funded and built entirely by the city of Renton.
Renner said the city wanted to analyze other garage deals, which he said was “very difficult” when trying to get the numbers. In the end, the city used the Northgate Mall Partnership and the Northgate South Com-mons garages for com-parison purposes.
According to figures presented to the City Council by Renner, the city calculates that when the amount Metro contributed to the garage construction is factored in, the bus service pays well over $30 per space for month for each of those garages.
During a Jan. 12 discus-sion at the Committee of the Whole, council-members Don Persson and Randy Corman each
spoke about how that garage was originally intended for residents headed downtown to shop, not necessarily for transit users, though it should be available for city resident using the transit center.

By the time Seahawks’ quarterback Russell Wilson threw his fourth interception of the game, the 12th Man jersey had been in a heap on the floor for at least 10 minutes.
On one end of the couch sat my 17-year-old son, Conner, eyes fastened to the screen, arms crossed, looking for all the world like he’d just lost his best friend.
I suppose in a way it looked to him like that was about to happen.
On the screen, the score-board was telling an ugly tale, plunging daggers deep into the hearts of the Seahawk faithful.
Green Bay 19, Seattle 7. It appeared that Seattle’s magic had run out, just shy of Super Bowl XLIX in the National
Football Conference, and Conner was feeling deflated at the prospect of the defending champs’ season ending anywhere short of another title. I was as well.
For the Skager clan, football, and more specifi-cally, the Seahawks, are more than just a game, they are a passion.
For Conner, the emotions tied into this team run deep, encompassing his entire life. From the frustration of the late 1990s and early 2000s to the “we’re almost there” glory days of the Mike Holmgren era and into the present halcyon days of the franchise, we lived and died by the yearly fate of the team. In fact, the thread runs so deep that while my father was fighting esophageal cancer – which took his life on May 13, 2011 – it seemed the only good days during his several rounds of chemotherapy and radiation treatment
were Sundays, when we’d gather to watch the Hawks. My dad was there when we watched the infamous “Beast-Quake” run during the team’s 41-36 Wild Card playoff win against the defend-ing champion New Orleans Saints.
With all that weight occupying space in our family’s emotional consciousness, alongside our love for the Hawks, it’s no wonder Conner was feeling so down. To tell the truth, I was, too.
I must confess that I have not always been the most shining example of sports-watching eti-quette to my son. I’m a wear-my-emotions-on-my-sleeve kind of guy. When I’m happy or upset, people around me usually know about it. Not much seething under the surface emotionally, it’s usually all right out there in the air.
In fact, when the Seahawks lost 27-33 in overtime to the Packers in the 2003 Wild Card Playoffs (the game where then-Hawk-quarter-back Matt Hasselbeck opened his big mouth, promising the team would score on the first OT possession), my beloved Cortez Kennedy jersey ended up swinging from my living room chan-delier where I’d tossed it in disgust.
Apparently, that’s a trait I passed on to my son.The aforementioned jersey lying on the floor
in a heap was his. He had deposited it there in a fit of rage after a Seahawk offensive miscue. With things looking to keep going south for the team, I anticipated more histrionics from the boy. The thought of dealing with an emotionally wrecked teenager, distraught at watching his team’s season come to an end, and of coping with my own frayed emotions tied in with the team had me dreading the next few minutes, and trying to muscle down a growing anxiety inside.
I’d like to commend the Renton Reporter for its series of articles on “Can Ferguson Happen Here?” This is a very important and serious issue, not only for the nation but for our city and community. And specifically for the Renton Police Department.
Last week the Renton Reporter inter-viewed Officer Mark Coleman, former Police Guild president, who offered his perspective and that of the Police Guild on the issue. I would like to respectfully state that I do not agree with all of Officer Coleman’s com-ments.
As Renton’s police chief, representing over 150 officers in the Renton Police Department and the nearly 100,000 residents of Renton, I would like to take this opportunity to share my viewpoint and that of the Mayor’s Office.
Officer Coleman’s description of the department as a “close-knit organization of comrades” could lead the reader to the misconception that law enforcement is more concerned about their own people than with taking care of the needs of the community.
The fact is that the most important duty of police is to protect our commu-nity and the rights of the people in our community.
And with regard to diversity and race — I do not want my officers to be color blind! Race
and equity matter. Officers should take into consideration the facts and circumstances including the race and ethnicity of those involved when it comes to decision making.
I also believe that it is very important for our police force to reflect the diversity in our community. Currently we do not.
We cannot ignore the existence of his-torical and institutional racial injustice that affects our community today. It is very im-portant for us in the police department, who have been entrusted with the responsibility to protect our community, to create aware-ness and understanding, revisit our policies and procedures, provide training, and take steps to ensure that we address issues related to race, equity and inclusion in our com-munity.
We have taken some proactive steps both internally and externally to address these is-sues. The City of Renton has provided man-datory training to all employees on diversity and inclusion, and specifically addressed issues related to race.
The police department was the first to ensure that everyone in the department completed the training. We have reviewed and revised several policies that impact how officers use force and make decisions.
Citywide, we are in the process of estab-lishing an equity lens to evaluate various systems, programs and procedures. And employment is one our key focus areas — we are looking at several different ways to make our hiring practices and policies more
Race, equity, inclusion matter to Renton Police

The end of January and beginning of February means it is time to dig in and start planning and planting.
Five things you can do this winter for your garden:
1. Buy and plant bare root roses.
Area nurseries have a great price on roses during the winter because they are sold “bare root” or without a pot and soil. This means they usually
have their roots encased in a plastic bag with damp sawdust keeping the bare roots damp.
Bare root roses this time of year are still dormant so this also makes them easier to plant as they won’t suffer as much from the
shock of transplanting. Bare root roses are much easier to load into the car and carry about the garden.
This is the best time of year to find named varieties of hybrid tea roses like the disease resistance Peace rose, climbing roses like the classic New Dawn pink rose and hardy shrub, landscape and species roses such as the thorny but tough Rosa Rugosa.
Planting Tip: Soak the bare roots over-night in a bucket of water and if you buy a boxed bare root rose, do not plant the card-board box with the rose no matter what the package recommends. Our mild winter climate means the rose roots do not need the added protection of cardboard.
2. Buy and plant bare root fruit trees and berries.
Once again winter is the best time to add
Now is the time to start planning for spring planting

Ha� yNew Year!Looking forward to working with
you in 2015!
20142014
Normally, my dad was the voice of reason in these circumstances, lending a calming influence to counterbalance both of our emotional outbursts dur-ing games. Since his death we’ve been pretty lucky because the Seahawks have seen such success we haven’t had to deal with a soul-crushing loss like the one we were sure we were witness-ing on Sunday.
Help with fending off the potential outburst, however, came not from my dad this time, instead it came from the very team struggling to come back on our TV screen.
Watching Russell Wilson calmly lead the team to a seven-play, 69-yard scoring drive with less than three
minutes left in the game was just the ticket for me.
Watching the Hawks come up with an onside kick and capitalize on it with a 24-yard TD run by Lynch had the effect of pouring water on the anxiety conflagration burning in my soul.
Although the team was playing with passion and emotion, there wasn’t a lot of anxiety to the way they were going about their business, despite facing an uphill climb to victory.
Soon, I found my anxiety loosening up, replaced with a confident assur-ance that everything was going to be all right.
And with this newfound calmness filling me, I was able to provide a bet-ter example to my son, whose attitude
swiftly changed once Wilson found Luke Willson in the end zone for a two-point conversion.
By the time the teams met at the 50-yard line for the overtime coin toss, every negative emotion tied into this game for me was replaced with a calmness that spread from me to Conner.
It’s nice to see that, even at my ad-vanced age of 45, I’m still able to glean a lesson or two from sports. Guess you can teach an old dog new tricks.
Now I’ve just got to keep it together for one more game this season.
Go Hawks!

inclusive.In his column Brian Beckley mentioned that it is very
important for police to connect with the community and build trust. I whole-heartedly agree and we have been exploring ways that we can create those connections and relationships.
Recently, I met with police chiefs from this region, along with Ed Prince, executive director of the Washington State Commission on African American Affairs (and Renton City Council president), to see how we can better collabo-rate with members of the African-American community.
On Martin Luther King Day, I participated in a com-munity conversation sponsored by Living Hope Christian Fellowship (see Page 1). The goal of the event was to “build healthy bridges across the racial divide” and to foster and celebrate understanding and cooperation. I am working on an effort to set up my command staff as liaisons to work closely with the diverse community groups in Renton. We will build on and continue these and other efforts to build connections with our community.
Race, equity and inclusion – we take this very seriously. Not because it is in the national news but because it is the right thing to do.

[ MILOSEVICH from page 6] bare root fruit trees because they are under the anesthetic of winter and won’t suffer from the transplant operation.
If your New Year’s Resolution is to become more self-sufficient by growing more food, make this the week you add a mini orchard to your property.
Apple trees come in dwarf and semi-dwarf root stocks and there is also a “Columnar” apple tree that bears fruit on the trunk or short spurs. This tree does not branch out. The “Columnar” apple tree needs just 2 feet of room and can be grown in a half whiskey barrel.
Raintree nursery of Morton Washington sells this super compact apple tree for under $30 and will ship it to your door. Go to www.raintreenursery.com
3. Buy and plant bare root flowering shrubs.Old-fashioned favorites such as lilac, spiraea, forsythia
and quince can be purchased bare root and a dozen of these blooming shrubs will take up less space in your car than a week’s worth of groceries.
Use a mix of inexpensive bare root shrubs and a few evergreens to design a border of plant material along a property line or in front of a fence line to create a tapestry of bloom. A mix of blooming bushes can replace the ever-green and ever boring line of pyramidalis arborvitae lined up like green soldiers.
The more diverse the plants in your landscape the bet-ter it is for local birds, bees, insects and wild life.
4. Order seeds from catalogs now or buy seeds from local nurseries offered by local seed companies.
Those of us that live in Western Washington are lucky to have Ed Hume Seed Company based in Puyallup with Ed Hume himself still recommending the best seed varieties and planting tips from his 50 plus years of local gardening experience. You can find Ed Hume seeds at many home centers, grocery stores and nurseries or order online at EdHumeSeeds.com.
It is still too early to start many seeds either indoors or out, but purchasing seeds now ensures that the varieties you want will be in stock and you can use the information on the package to plot out when and where to plant the seed.
Tip: Displaying colorful seed packs in a basket or bowl is a great spring tonic. You can also string a piece of twine across a window or mantel. Then use clothes pins to clip the seed packages to the twine for an inspirational banner of summer bounty to come.
Sign up for a class at nursery, check out some gardening books from the library or buy early bird discount tickets to the Northwest Flower and Garden Show. (www.gardenshow.com) There is a lot winter inspiration available now to heat up your spring fever!

The following was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.
BY DEAN A. RADFORD
Shots were fired early Jan. 4 after a resident discovered a young man in his backyard on South Tobin Street and sev-eral items missing.
The gunfire was reported by several residents in the area.
The resident’s wife handed him his pistol before he went outside to investigate. He found the suspect still in the backyard.
As they walked to the front of the house, the resident told the suspect to stay at the location while he called police. The resident’s gun was visible.
They struggled in the front yard and the suspect ran off, with the resident in pursuit on South Tobin Street. He caught up with the suspect in the parking lot of the Homerun Tavern, where they fought.
The resident fired his pistol after it appeared to him the suspect was reach-
ing into his waistband for a firearm. The suspect ran and the resident fired again for a total of four shots. He told officers he wasn’t aiming at the suspect. He wanted him to stop; he was described as coopera-tive with officers.
Officers were investigating whether the resident should be cited for reckless endangerment for firing four rounds at a fleeing suspect and into an unknown backdrop. The resident’s fear the suspect had a gun also could support a claim of self-defense.
Four shell casings were recovered; a possible bullet hole was found in the sid-ing of a residence on Tillicum Street. No one was hurt. The case was closed and no charges were filed.
SEXUAL ASSAULT: Two men tried to sexually assault a Seattle woman as she was walking home from a downtown Renton casino at about 1:30 a.m. Jan. 1.
She told Renton Police officers she de-cided to walk home because she had been drinking. An older, two-door Acura drove past her on Taylor Avenue Northwest, then slowed and pulled in front of her.
She thought the two men were of-fering a ride, but then they made lewd comments. One man threw her into the
bushes, held her down, tore her clothes and grabbed her. She fought back and screamed.
The other man looked around and then pulled the other man off the victim and said “We need to go.” The victim called 911 after walking all the way home.
The men were described as a white male in his late 20s to middle 30s and a black male about 25 years old.
POT IN BAG: After filling his large plastic bag with Wal-Mart merchandise and exchanging his old coat for a new one Dec. 19, the 18-year-old Renton man walked out without paying for any of it.
He was stopped and agreed to talk with the police officer about his motivation: He wanted an outfit that matched his shoes.
The officer found marijuana in the jacket at the bottom of his bag.
He was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of third-degree theft and possession of marijuana.His new outfit would have cost about $76.
NO IPHONE DEAL: A deal negotiated on Facebook to sell an iPhone 6 for $300 may have been a ruse to rob the buyer.
The 22-year-old victim agreed to meet the seller at an apartment complex park-ing lot on Southwest Sunset Boulevard. The seller was late because he had to wait for his mother to leave.
When the meetup finally happened, the price was now $350 and it was firm. The victim said no deal. A juvenile girl sprayed pepper spray in his face for about 30 seconds. The suspects then walked away.
Detectives are reviewing the case; in-vestigators know the suspect’s name.

I have been on the board of Allied Arts of Renton for four years, and am proud to be part of a new arts scholarship program for Renton area youths involved in all cul-tural arts fields.
Allied Arts was founded more than 50 years ago with the purpose of cultivating a
community that values all forms of art to enrich lives and to make art accessible to all. The scholarship was started last year to commemo-rate the 50th anniversary of Allied Arts and is designed to help talented young students to fur-
ther their training in their artistic field. The first recipient for 2013 was McK-
enzie Fysh, a young pianist who received her scholarship at the Renton Community Foundation’s Circle of Giving Awards ceremony. She is using it to further her musical career.
It was recently announced that the 2014 scholarship was awarded to Sophie Ossorio.
Sophie, 14, is the eldest of five children, and her love of music began in sixth grade with the clarinet. Six months later, Sophie picked up an oboe for the first time.
“The oboe just fit my personality, it’s a really happy instrument,” she says.
Sophie is now playing for the advanced band at Liberty High School and in the Wind Ensemble. She used her scholarship to find a new oboe, which she says is much better than the school instrument she had been using.
She has the prestigious honor of being accepted into the Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestra Program.
Sophie said, “Music is really fun and challenging...there’s always something dif-ferent and beautiful about each song. I want to continue to share that with others.”
On Jan. 11, I met with Sophie along with her mother Carolyn and Grandmother Sherry at Plum Delicious in Renton. We were joined by Allied Arts board member Char Baker, who manages the scholar-ship program, and by local author Barbara Nilson, who is a life-time member of Allied Arts.
Barbara generously donated matching funds to Sophie’s scholarship to help in the purchase of her new oboe.
What a wonderful time we had, sharing stories about our beloved community, and our passion for the arts.
Char has been a strong presence in Renton for many years, was the coordina-tor for the first Renton River Days, and was
instrumental in the creation of the IKEA Performing Arts Center.
Char says she believes, “Life is better when you have creative intention for your life.”
Barbara has incredible memories of the early days in this area. She has published a book about the history of Renton High School, another with the memoirs of local area World War II veterans and is now working on the history of Allied Arts.
Over pie and coffee, Sophie proudly showed us her new oboe.
“Music is really fun and challenging,” she told us. “There’s always something different
and beautiful about each song. I want to continue to share that with others.”
I looked around the table at this multi-generational group - from age 14 to 87. The past and present contributions to our community by these ladies and the creative aspirations of the youngest among us was inspirational.
I have no doubt that this young lady will continue to pursue her musical dreams and keep the creative spirit alive.

“In a sense, that unfortunate incident was around the time the city really stepped up and said, ‘We cannot do business as usual,’” said Shridhar. “’We need to see how we can expand our outreach and our efforts with the community.’”
It was then that the city began looking at its commu-nication efforts and the makeup of different city depart-ments and officials began reaching out to community members. Renton’s minority population grew by 169.9 percent between 2000 and 2010, according to the city. Seattle’s minority population grew by just 13.4 percent during the same time period.
Shridhar touted the city’s network of community liai-sons and the city’s mission statement, which is “building an inclusive city with opportunities for all.”
Covington recognized that Renton City Hall has a majority white workforce that doesn’t reflect the com-munity it serves. He sees that fact as a barrier to all of
Renton’s residents feeling the inclusiveness that the city is trying to adopt.
“I think probably the biggest challenge that I see is that there still are people in the community who don’t yet feel that,” he said. “So trusting is a huge issue that comes from everything from a routine traffic stop to contact with a munici-pal worker in the street to somebody on the phone or at the counter.”
Last year the City of Renton really started to look at its policies, systems and trainings and delved into topics such as institutional rac-ism and white privilege, he said.
Troy Landrum, who works with youth at the church and the YMCA, spoke to black youth’s fears of the police and their questions as to whether or not they will even get to graduate and have a future.
Marcia Tate Arunga’s take on what it means to be inclusive really resonated with the audience. She com-pared the idea to having a room with all your furniture and pictures in place and then inviting someone in to live there but not allowing them to contribute their own home decor or collaborate on anything.
“I would say as an educator that I have noticed over the years that our biggest issue, our challenge in front of us, has been the omission of facts and sets of knowledge that includes everyone in the picture,” she said.
Councilmember Prince spoke to a similar kind of oc-currence he’s observed in Olympia as head of Washing-ton’s Commission on African American Affairs.
“In my work in Olympia, I don’t really see racial
conflict, but I do occasionally see legislation that has not racial bias, but blinders to what should be done,” Prince said. “I don’t know if that is out of ignorance or just not knowing.”
Chief Milosevich spoke to what he said is the biggest issue facing police departments across the country and that is agencies’ relationships with the African American community. He said that Renton has been aware of that issue even before the incidents in Ferguson, Missouri.
“We’ve got to resolve this; it’s been bubbling under the surface for way too long,” Milosevich said of tensions. “We’ve got to figure out how to fix it. While its easy to kind of wait to see what happens in D.C. at the Depart-ment of Justice or in the Attorney General’s Office, see how it floats down through the region, locally we really don’t have time.”
Milosevich said that he’s been meeting with other police chiefs from across the region and Prince, in his role as executive director of Washington’s Commission on African American Affairs, to see how they can make a difference locally on racial issues.
“We’re in crisis mode in law enforcement,” Milosevich said. “This is a huge issue and we’ve got to get our arms around it.”
Reaction to the panel discussion was positive, al-though moderators and audience members alike said there was only so much time and to address so many issues.
“To me there was so much more that each of the speakers could say and the time format just really wouldn’t allow it,” said Houston. “But I thought it was enough what was said to make other people want to engage in the process, to draw someone back out.”
Some immigrants in the audience expressed an inter-est in having their concerns heard too, which some say presenters didn’t address.
“We are immigrants,” said Pastor Joel Mboya of Fire-flow International church. “We have issues that weren’t addressed over there, whereby we need such a kind of forum to be often, not only once like Martin Luther King time, but make more time.”
Pastor Champers hopes to do more work with the City of Renton and his church and said that there were some Russian community members in the audience and had hoped to get to cultural differences too. Living Hope Christian Fellowship has five different congregations that meet in its building: Kenyan, Russian, Cambodian, Canadian and Hispanic.
“I think this is just scratching the surface. Underneath all of the things that were said, there’s a lot more that we can understand from one another to kind of continue to help Renton be maybe even a pioneer with racial recon-ciliation and cultural stuff,” Champers said.
Church member Barbara Warner really liked the event because it at least started a dialogue.
“We need to start talking about these things even if its uncomfortable just to learn other people’s experiences, so we can better understand where they’re coming from, building those bridges,” she said.

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quan- tity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

The Hazen Highlanders and Renton Indians kept rolling this week, each racking up two more wins this past week, including wins by both over the Lindbergh Eagles.
HazenOn Jan. 14, Hazen hosted Lindbergh, but showed their intra-dis-
trict rivals no mercy, running up a 71-57 victory over the Eagles.Hazen’s Dominc Green posted a double-double in the game,
dropping in 25 points and grabbing 17 rebounds in the win. Connor O’Hearn lead all scorers with 25 points and 6 rebounds of his own for Hazen.
Emmanuel Harvey led Lindbergh with 13 points.On Friday, Green posted his second double-double of the week,
this time scoring 30 points and grabbing 18 rebounds in Hazen’s 75-43 win over Evergreen at Hazen High School.
Matt Williams and Julian Christian each added 10 points for Hazen in the win.
Hazen remains in second place in the Seamount League with a 12-3 overall record and an 8-1 league record. They play at Foster on Wednesday.
RentonThe Renton Indians kept pace last week as well with a pair of victo-
ries of their own.On Jan. 14, Renton headed to Highline and beat the Pirates 57-
49. Krishan Coles had 16 for the Indians and Ben Comer added 14 points.
Then, on Friday, Renton traveled up the hill to Lindbergh and beat the host Eagles 61-55. No stats were available.
The wins move Renton to 6-7 overall and 5-3 in the Seamount, enough for third place right now. The Indians take on league-leading Kennedy on Wednesday at home and then travel to Tyee on Friday.
LindberghAfter losing to Hazen and Renton last week, Lindbergh is now 6-7
overall on the year and 3-6 in the league. They travel to Evergreen on Wednesday and host Kennedy Catholic on Friday.

two more wins to run their total to nine consecutive games without a loss.On Jan. 14, the Indians hosted Evergreen, the league’s third-place team, and
blew out the visitors 51-22. Renton kept the Wolverines to single digits in each quarter of play. In the
second quarter, the Indians held Evergreen to a single free throw.On Friday, the Lindbergh eagles came to Renton and the Indians dispatched
them easily 62-37. Renton is now 11-4 overall and 8-1 in the league. The girls travel to league-
leading Kennedy on Wednesday for a showdown with the Lancers and then host Tyee on Friday.
HazenThe Hazen Highlanders did just enough to stay ahead and then rode a strong
fourth-quarter to a 39-26 victory over Lindbergh on Jan. 11, but were unable to top Evergreen on Friday.
Hazen’s Sarah Sherrod had 11 points and Kaya Dumas added 9 in the win over Lindbergh. The two teams battled through the first two periods with Ha-zen taking a 17-14 lead into the half. In the third, the Highlanders doubled-up the Eagles 8-4 and then rode a strong 14-8 fourth quarter to the win.
Serena Simms had 9 for Lindbergh in the loss.On Friday, the Highlanders traveled to Evergreen, but the Wolverines proved
too much, beating the Highlanders 48-39. Individual stats were not available.Hazen is now 7-8 overall on the season and 5-4 in the Seamount. They take
on Foster on Wednesday and travel to Highline on Friday.LindberghAfter dropping both of their games this week to intra-district rivals Renton
and Hazen, the Lindebrgh Eagles are now 4-10 overall and 3-6 in the Sea-mount.
They welcome Evergreen to Lindbergh on Wednesday and travel to league-leading Kennedy on Friday.
