The new state budget may have been a long time coming, but for the city of Renton, it was well worth the wait.
Included in the 2013-2014 legislative budget is a $1.1 million line item that means the replace-ment of the old bridge at River-view Park.
The bridge, a 12-foot-wide, 120-foot span over the Cedar River along the Maple Valley Highway, was built in the 1990s and connects the parking lot on the north side of the river to the 11-acre park and trail system on the south side.
But the old bridge is supported by piles sunk into the river, as well as concrete abutments, which
makes it vulnerable to debris that routinely come down the river during high-water flood and seasonal melting events.
“It would get caught on that bridge,” said Renton Parks Plan-ning and natural Resources Direc-tor Leslie Betlach.
And in recent years, the num-ber and size of floods rushing

City officials are calling the fireworks show at Renton’s Fabulous Fourth was “very suc-cessful” but admit there will be a few things to look at for next year, including some smoke and debris that blew on shore during the show.
According to Community Relations and Events Coordi-nator Sonja Mejlaender, the city learned “lots” from its first land-launched fireworks show but was ultimately pleased with the results.
“We felt the show was more saturated and very impressive,” she said Friday.
This year, due to changes in regulations, the city was forced to launch its annual display from the water walk instead of a barge. That meant the fireworks were only 300 feet out, instead of

‘Sparkler bomb’ causes injury
King County Sheriff deputies and bomb disposal units responded to a post blast involving significant in-juries to a 26-year-old male in uniNcorporated King County, outside of Renton.
The subject was trans-ported to Harborview with significant fragmentation injuries to his lower left leg and left forearm and may require amputation.
At approximately 4:23 a.m. July 4, there was a party in the Villa Townhomes in the Fairwood area of unincorporated Renton. The subject was in the middle of the street in the 14700 block of SE 176 ST and lit the spar-kler bomb with a lighter.
The explosion was heard for several blocks.
This incident is still under investigation but it is a Class C Felony to convert fireworks into a bomb.

July 1 the baton was passed from interim Renton School District Superin-tendent Vera Risdon to incoming Superintendent Merri Rieger. Although Risdon was only the chief of Renton schools for a year, she leaves her mark on the district, retiring after 47 years serving Renton schools.
Risdon witnessed great change in the city and the schools during her ca-reer with the district. An Eastern Washington native, she was lured to Renton straight out of Washington State University in 1968 and hired to teach sixth grade at McKnight Middle School.
Throughout the years, Risdon would rise through the ranks. She would become a principal, an as-sistant superintendent for curriculum, instruction and technology and a part-time associate superintendent for elementary education, before becoming interim superintendent last year. She taught at five Renton schools from 1966 to 1982 and served as principal at two elementary schools.
“You might think that because I’ve been here for
47 years, I really don’t know because I haven’t been any-where else,” she said. “But, I have. As a consultant, I’ve worked in districts as far south as Auburn and as west as Vashon and north as Everett and Renton is special. It just is. It’s sized right to have the amenities of a big city, but it has the attributes of a small, close-knit town.”
Risdon has observed the school district and commu-nity in times of growth, so-cial turmoil and population decline. She was teaching at a time when there were no resources or support staff for teachers like counselors or assistant principals and no special education classes until 1976. She would look at the IQ tests of her students back then and see a range from genius to what was called mentally retarded in those days.
During her first years
at Hazelwood Elementary school, she had the gifted kids mixed in with the kids who had challenges to
overcome.Risdon also watched the
demographics of Renton change, as racial and cul-tural differences took center stage during her 10 years at Campbell Hill Elementary, from 1969-1979.
“(Those were) great years, really interesting years,” she
said. “Years during which social justice and civil strife were in the headlines everyday and where the demographics of that area were beginning to shift. It was a real period of growth and I enjoyed being there very much.”
When Risdon first got to Campbell Hill, the students were primarily Caucasian and Asian, with a fair representation of Native American students and a small number of African Americans, she said.
The number of African Americans increased, as there was a migration from Seattle, down Rainier into the Skyway area, Risdon said.
“It was unfamiliar terri-tory for them and for us as teachers,” Risdon said of the African Americans in the area. “And because of the social context in the coun-try at the time, it was easy
for people to be angry with one another. So we had to learn ways to work together and to collaborate in the interest of the students we served.”
She survived and even thrived in challenging times. In the early ‘70s Boeing had massive layoffs and as a result the student population in Renton dropped from some 1,600 to 1,100, Risdon said. By the mid-1990s, schools were being combined, with students and staff from Lakeridge and Bryn Mawr Elementary schools mov-ing into Dimmitt Middle School. Cascade Elemen-tary moved in with Honey Dew Elementary.
As assistant superinten-dent at the time, Risdon worked with funds from the district’s first passed bond measure to remodel schools and outfit the district with new technology. Phones showed up in every teach-er’s classroom for the first time and computers too.
“Those were major, major projects that were on my plate as well as being in charge of all of the cur-riculum instruction and assessment and being the chief academic officer to the elementary schools from 1992 to 2000.
Risdon tired to retire from the district several times, but kept being asked back by colleagues. If you ask her about the secret of her success over the years, she will tell you that she’s been very fortunate, wel-comed and supported by other people.

the usual 1,000 feet, and only went up about 300 feet, instead of the traditional 600 feet.
“It felt close,” she said of the changes. “It was exciting.
Acting Assistant Fire Marshal Ted Hickey agreed, calling the display “pretty spectacular,” but said his crews did notice the prevailing winds blowing off the lake forced some of the debris back toward where some of the crowds were watching.
Hickey said some people complained about cardboard from the fireworks or other debris hitting them and they treated one young boy who got a little ash in his eye, but “nothing that was on fire” fell any-where near the crowd.
“For the first time we tried doing the fireworks show this way … it worked out pretty good,” he said.
Hickey agreed the wind was a minor is-sue and said some adjustments may need to be made for next year. For example, while the fireworks were aimed over the lake, a steeper angle may be needed.
“We went into this expecting to have to make some adjustments next year,” Hickey said, adding that all changes would be
minor.Mejlaender agreed the angle may need to
be steeper next year, but praised the show put on by Western Display, the 11th year the company has handled Renton’s display.
“We were pleased to do the best we could,” she said.
The city collected feedback surveys at the park and Mejlaender said they heard a little about the smoke and debris but urged anyone who attended the park to fill out a city-sponsored survey on the day, available at the city’s website.
“The only way we’re going to get that feedback is if people head to rentonwa.gov and take a few minutes to take that survey, she said.
Mejlaender said her department is preparing a report for the administration and council on the event, the city’s biggest one-day event. This year, like years past, an estimated 20,000 people visited Gene Cou-lon Memorial Park through the day.
With feedback from the public and the council and administration, Mejlaender said adjustments could be made to next year’s show.
“The planning for next year starts right away,” she said.

The city of Renton on Monday officially accepted a donation that will allow the new Meadow Crest inclusive playground to start construction.
City attorney and Renton Community Foundation president Larry Warren and local businessman Harry Blencoe were at the City Council meeting Monday to present the Parks and Rec-reation Department with a $200,000 check from the Charles Custer Fund, which the foundation manages.
The check brings the total raised for the playground, to be built across city and school district property near Meadow Crest, to approxi-mately $700,000.
“This significant con-tribution helps ensure the success of this playground,” Parks Planning and Natural Resources Director Leslie Betlach said after accepting the check. “We’re on our way.”
The $200,000 donation is the largest received for the playground.
Blencoe, who was named executor of the
will of Charles Custer and adviser for the fund, spoke briefly at the meeting about Custer. According to Blen-coe, Custer, the only son of Renton pioneers George and Anna Custer, was a 1930 Renton High School graduate, who worked at the Renton Post Office and served as a postmaster in World War II.
Charles Custer never had children and inherited his parent’s estate, where he continued to live until he died in September 2000 and left his estate to charities, including money for Renton parks.
In the past, according to Warren, the Custer fund has given money for the renova-tions at Burnett Park and for lighting on Liberty Park ballfields.
“I think Charles wants me to remind people these donations are in memory of George and Anna Custer,” Blencoe said.
The Meadow Crest Play-ground is designed as an all-inclusive playground and each piece of play equip-ment is fully accessible, no matter the child’s physical or mental disability. It is designed to stimulate the
physical, mental and sense and promotes working and playing alongside people who are fully able-bodied.
The playground would be the first of its kind in Renton and the largest fully accessible playground in the South Sound.
Betlach said the Renton School District is taking the lead on the project and hopes to get permits this week with completion of the project scheduled for this fall.

If ever Renton had a shining star, it is its parks.Park engineers, like Jeff at my favorite park
– Heritage Park – daily oversee the safety, cleanliness and health of the parks not only for their short-term use but their longevity. Just like humans, a park is a living thing and needs nurturing to survive.
In return, parks nurture us by providing an outdoor meditation room, an exhilarating gym, an amphi-theater of music emanating from the mouths of children’s laughter and singing birds, aromatherapy from fragrant flowers and barbecues, a social outlet for humans and pets and fresh air to blow
away the fogginess of gloomier days.If it seems that the parks have something for
everyone, that’s because the Parks Department
makes sure citizens are included in the initial de-sign of a new park. A good example is Heritage Park on Union Avenue Northeast.
With the children’s play area so close to the entrance and street, it’s difficult for moms to drive by once the “little people” in the backseat see the big toys, rock walls and basketball court.
The picnic shelter is also close to the entrance so that the sound of laughter and smell of barbe-cue awakens your senses as you drive by, making you wish you were part of the life-changing events being celebrated there.
In contrast, the vast open grassy area behind the play area is where you can quietly fly a kite on a beautiful windy day or cheer as children and adults play soccer.
Finally, we come to the crown jewel of the park – the woods. The area farthest from the
Hello again, Renton!Six months ago I wrote my introductory
column as the new guy here at the Renton Reporter and I am very excited to be writing again today as the paper’s next editor.
It’s been a good, busy six months and I have learned a lot and I look forward to learning even more as we go.
Before anything else, I’d like to say thank you to Dean Radford, the paper’s previous editor. Not only is Dean a fine journalist with a lifetime of experience and a deep knowl-edge of Renton from his time at the helm of the Reporter, he is also an incredibly nice man, with a warm heart and nary a bad word to say about anyone.
Working with Dean these past six months and seeing his day-to-day commitment to the paper and the city has been a great learn-ing experience, one most new editors never get. It gave me a great running start and his steady hand allowed me to spin out for the
past few months, learning as much as I could.
Thankfully, Dean isn’t going too far. As the now full-time editor of the Tukwila Reporter, Dean and his experience and institutional knowledge of all things Renton will still be not only in our build-
ing but just across the room. He will also continue to be a regular contributor to the Renton Reporter.
That said, this is the beginning of some-thing of a new era for the Renton Reporter, a fresh start if you will.
I view it as a “re-boot,” to use the parlance of Hollywood.
Newspapers tell a city’s story. We are his-tory books written in real time, with all the characters, plot twists and settings that make a city interesting and unique.
Renton is no exception. The plan moving forward is simple: We are
going to try and bring you the best newspa-per we can, every week. We want to show you the best parts of our city, all while still making sure you get all the news and infor-mation you need to make decisions about its direction and future.
But like all re-boots, we will be trying some new things. This is a chance to almost re-invent what exactly this newspaper is and what it can be going forward.
And I am open to suggestion. What do you want to see in the paper?
While we are dedicated to bringing you the important news stories from around the city, we also want to bring you the fun and the exciting, the unique and the interesting. In essence, our goal is to try and show you what we love about Renton, what makes it a

Think environment, don’t sprayThe column in the June 28 Renton Reporter
regarding bees and beekeeper Brian Overman was great.
The FYI sidebar was very revealing – no wonder we are missing hummingbirds and bees. We are appalled by the apparent lack of concern among officials about these wonderful useful creatures.
Previous letters to the Renton Reporter by Paul Ouellette and Bruce Chase expressed con-cern regarding the lack of birds and humming-birds in particular.
The “coincidence” of this happening when wa-ter meters were installed was suspect. But, hey! people. Spraying insecticide to rid the area of mosquitoes is much more suspect in my mind.
I feel pretty sure that this spraying is the cause
of our sadness. Or at least a big part of it.People have become crazed about mosquitoes,
but what about the tremendous benefit from bees and hummingbirds whose presence has become a rare enjoyment?
May I suggest that the scare of West Nile Virus is no longer valid and spraying be stopped.
I have a woodlands adjacent to my house and cannot go outside without mosquito protection. But under no circumstance would I consider spraying to get rid of these “pests.”
Mosquitoes lay eggs on any water surface. This includes retention ponds. With all the wetlands that we are blessed with, this spraying situation is truly unreal.
PLEASE bring back a better environment for our bees and birds (and, oh yes, us too).Rhea SchmidtRenton

Maxwell, elected to three terms in the House, has been a leader in educa-tion issues in the state and in the Legislature. In the just-concluded legislative session, she was the deputy majority leader for educa-tion and opportunity.
“I’ve been honored to serve the people of the 41st District in South and East King County
and believe that my new position in the Governor’s Office will continue my work on their priorities for our state,” Maxwell said in a press release.
The Washington State Democratic Party will submit the names of three candidates to replace Max-
well to the King County Council, which will select a replacement to complete her third, two-year term which began this year. Maxwell’s House seat will be up for election in the 2014 general election.
In her new job Maxwell will focus on K-12, early learning and higher educa-tion policy in the state.
Maxwell, who was named Renton’s Citizen of the Year in 2004 and served eight years on the Renton School Board. She has held a number of leadership positions in the Renton community.

Joan B. (Newark) AtkinsonJoan was born in Grand Forks, ND
on April 6, 1929. She had very fond memories of her time spent in Grand Forks but the need for work prompted her father to move the family to Washington State to work for The Boeing Company when she was about 15 years old. She attended Renton High School where soon after graduating met and married Duane Atkinson. They settled down in
the Renton area and promptly started their family of 6 children.The youngest of 9 children, Joan had a calling to nurse and
care for others. She was calm, kind and caring. She enjoyed sewing, gardening, fishing, boating and had a love for interior design. She loved to laugh, loved a good joke and particularly loved the Sunday comics. But none of those things compared to her love of politics.
Joan was an active member of her church while her children attended St. Anthony’s School and she also volunteered her time at Hillcrest Elementary School.
She is preceded in death by her loving husband Duane Atkinson of Renton and her sons John, Mark and Donald.
She is survived by her daughters Karen Aron of Issaquah, Barbara Ferguson (Ken) of Puyallup and her youngest son Paul Atkinson (Michelle) of Renton.
She was blessed with 8 beautiful grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren.
She was a wonderful and devoted daughter, wife, mother, sister and friend. She will be missed by us all.
Mass and Celebration of Joan’s life was held on Wednesday, July 10th, at St. Anthony’s Church, Renton. A graveside service followed directly after mass at Greenwood Memorial Park,

street was left natural with the exception of a man-made trail snaking through the tall trees. Other parts of the park are meant to provide physical activity and stimulation; but the woods with its shade and quiet was designed to feed the soul.
Truly Heritage Park is a paradise situated in the middle of suburbia. But as they say, “There is trouble in paradise.”
Before this private piece of land was first open to the public six years ago, the secluded wooded area was rich in foliage, ferns, tall trees of maple and fir, and young saplings.
But once the forest became public and humans began to walk the earth, it began to change. Sinister young people have chosen to destroy that which they so desire – ob-scurity.
Low-growing foliage has been beaten down and trampled, young saplings have been bent in half with no chance of survival, trees have been debarked causing
their death, and innocuous messages have been spray-painted on their trunks.
I witnessed two young boys, with sticks in their hands, thrash away at the trees and the ferns. When I asked them if they liked the forest, with great delight, they said “Oh, yes!” “Then why are you destroying it?” I asked. With a blank look on their face, they walked away.
I wish this behavior surprised me, but it doesn’t. The minds of young people today have been saturated with destruction, thanks to 12 years of war, and movies and video games rewarding them to bomb, shoot and destroy someone, or something, just because its there.
The good news is that these two young boys found joy in the forest. The sad news is that it also became a target of their ag-gression.
But thanks to the daily nurturing by Jeff and the Renton Parks Department team, paradise will not be lost to insensitive humans, thus ensuring that every time we drive by or walk in a park, we will always feel its heart beating.Tish Gregory is a free-lance writer.

great place to live and work.My philosophy is simple: We are going to be the biggest
champions and cheerleaders for the city of Renton, while maintaining our vital function as watchdogs for the people.
A city of 94,000 people is a big city. Anywhere except in the shadow of two major metropolitan areas like Seattle and Bellevue, a city the size of Renton would be considered a large city. We will treat it as such.
We will have city government and crime issues to cover, along with business and school news, of course, but we also want to “localize” larger national, state and county stories by finding ways those issues relate to our everyday lives. Plus, we can’t ignore the arts, culture, sports, neighbor-hoods and communities that give Renton its character, its personality.
To that end, I plan on introducing several new features in the upcoming weeks, as well as lots of little, more subtle
changes to the paper.As you may have noticed, there are two new features in
this week’s edition that we hope to make permanent. First, on page two is the new “At a glance” page. The idea for the page is simple: I want to provide a graphics-heavy page filled with just top-level information, so that with a single glance you can get a sense of what’s going on this week in Renton.
We are still working on the final formula for exactly what will go on that page every week – and we hope to hear from you about what you’d like to see there, from gas prices to puzzles, to photos to drawings from kids; you let us
know and we will see what we can do.
The other new addition this week is our “Week-end” page. Reporter Tracey Compton and I were dis-cussing ways to add a little more immediacy to the paper, a reason for folks to
pick it up right away when they get home Friday night. This new page is what we came up with. Again, the idea
is pretty simple: Our paper comes out on Fridays, let’s tell our readers what is going on around the city this weekend.
Tracey has developed a series of ideas for this page and while once again, we are still working on the final mix, we hope it will become a trusted resource and go-to guide for all of the interesting and fun events for residents to get out and do, including a “cheap date” and “family date” sec-tions.
We are open to suggestions. What do you want to see on that page?
And like all re-boots, everything is back on the table. If we have covered a story in the past – or turned down doing a story in the past – now is an opportunity to revisit
it. I can’t promise we will get to every suggestion, but I can promise we will consider it.
Like I said, we want to hear from you, the readers. We want your voice to come through. We want to see your families, your life in Renton.
Tell us why you love it here and what you want other people to love about your city. Write us letters to the editor, send us story ideas, email in photos of what you and your family do in Renton.
Though my wife and I live here in North Renton, we have only been residents for about 18 months and are still discovering the cool shops, bars, restaurants and parks scattered throughout the city.
And we would love some suggestions. Tell me your favorites and let’s share those hidden gems with the rest of the city.
We are also making a new push online at www.renton-reporter.com. Where I’m from, a city this size would have a daily paper. Our website is where we can provide those daily updates and breaking stories, so be sure to aim your internet machine in our direction to catch up on the latest local news.
We have also been more active on our official Facebook page (facebook.com/rentonreporter), putting up photo albums, sharing stories and providing a place for you to give a little feedback. In fact, one of the new parts of the “At a Glance” page is the “You said it!” box, which will feature a Facebook or website comment from a reader, so share your thoughts.
And please feel free to call or email me anytime; my door is always open. I am dedicated to telling Renton’s story the best we can and the more we hear from you, the better we can do that.
We are, after all, a small staff and cannot be everywhere, but we do want to know about whatever you have going on. So do not hesitate to pick up the phone – my number is 425-255-3484 ext. 5050 – or drop me an email at [email protected].
We have a bright future ahead of us Renton, and I very much look forward to sharing it all with you.To comment on this story view it online at www.rentonreporter.com. Reach Editor Brian Beckley at 425-255-3484, ext. 5050.

Ask AnExpert....Fleas - A common parasite, � eas are found in almost every area of the world and can be found on dogs, cats, and many other mammals. They survive year to year even in cold climates because they live on pets, in buildings, and on wild animals.
There are four stages to the � ea life cycle. Eggs are laid by an adult female � ea which is on a host. The eggs roll off into the environment and after a few days they mature into larvae. Larvae survive by eating � ea feces, � ea egg shells, organic debris, and other � ea larvae. They can crawl and move as far as six inches per day. After a few days, and once conditions are conducive, larvae mature into pupae. Pupae have very thick shells and are very resistant to environmental conditions. After a few days, and once the pupae detect a host is present, they mature into adult � eas that hop on another host.
There are many types of � ea treatments. Unfortunately, there is no one drug or chemical that can kill all four stages of the � ea. There are several types of good products to kill adult � eas: Frontline, Advantage, Comfortis, Capstar, and Revolution. Older products of various formulations of synthetic pyrethrins are also available, some of which are highly toxic to cats. Lufenuron and methoprene are chemicals that work on immature stages of the � ea, although there is no chemical that will kill the pupal stage,
Fleas are the number one allergen of dogs and cats and can cause severe skin disease and itching. Another reason � eas should be treated is due to the fact that they can carry and spread several serious diseases, such as tapeworms, Cat scratch disease (Bartonella), murine typhus, and the bubonic plague.
Your veterinarian can help you with a � ea control program depending on what kind of pets you have and the level of � ea infestation. Control may involve treating the environment as well as the pets. Contact your veterinarian today for more information about the treatment options available for your pet!

The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.
By DEAN A. RADFORD
Despite attempts to hide his true identity, a 46-year-old Renton man was arrested June 22 by a persistent Renton Police of-ficer on a state felony warrant for escape.
As he was placed in the patrol car, he told his 36-year-old girlfriend from Renton, “Love you, baby. The DOC got me.” She was arrested on a Kent warrant for criminal trespass.
An officer spotted the suspect putting gas in a white van on 116th Avenue Southeast, an area of numerous gas thefts. He matched the description of one of the suspects.
He didn’t have any identification, other than a business card that wasn’t his. A name he gave the officer didn’t turn up in an initial records check, but it was an alias he had used. That alias led to his real name.
A check using his real name turned up the state Department of Corrections escape warrant and one for fourth-degree assault. He was booked on the warrant and for investigation of new charges, obstructing an officer and making a false statement to a public servant.
Cart full of liquorTwo men didn’t get very far into the
parking lot of Safeway in the Highlands when they were stopped pushing a shop-ping cart full of liquor.
A store se-curity officer had reported to Renton Police that two men had
loaded the cart inside the store with the liquor and merchandise and feared they would attempt to leave without paying for it.
The officer was walking toward the entrance as the two men were walking out. The security officer yelled, “That’s him.”
The 19-year-old suspect from Renton let go of the cart in the parking lot and said, “I don’t have anything.” He walked away; the officer put him in handcuffs.
The second suspect, 18, of Kent was de-tained walking out the Safeway entrance.
The two men were released; citations for third-degree theft were to be sent to Renton prosecutors.
The liquor totaled about $340; the mer-chandise totaled about $200.
Drinking at PiazzaHe was drinking beer, a 52-year-old tran-
sient admitted to a bike officer at the Piazza Park in downtown Renton.
The man, who is known to officers, was sitting in what’s referred to as the Circle Park because of the circular concrete seat-ing.
As the officer approached, he could see an open can. The man dropped his head and told he officer he knows he shouldn’t
drink in the park.The man poured out the fortified beer in
the beauty bark. It was golden brown and foamed and the officer recognized the smell of beer. The officer told the man to keep an eye out for a citation in his post office box.
Shot in legA 27-year-old Renton man shot himself
in the thigh while showing a friend his .45 caliber, semi-automatic handgun June 21 in the 2100 block of Northeast Ninth Place.
Several officers were dispatched to the call for an accidental gunshot wound.
The wounded man’s friend, a 24-year-old Renton man, told officers he used his belt on the man’s leg as a tourniquet. He put the handgun in a safe in a closet.
In investigating officers saw several rifles in the closet.
The two men insisted there was no dispute between them and the shooting was accidental. Officers found no reason to remove the weapons from the home.
Lewd conductA 54-year-old Seattle man told an officer
he was waiting for a bus to Seattle in the Highlands, not urinating in public outside a grocery store as reported by a witness.
The witness, a Bellevue woman, saw the man with his pants down, his belt undone and urinating near the entrance to the store. She honked at him; he continued to urinate.
The man had “no shame,” she told an officer.
He was released, although he was told not to return to the store.

Wanted man can’t hide identityCRIME
alERtThis week’s…Police Blotter
Police have asked for the public’s help in identifying a man involved in the burglary of an occupied apartment the morning of July 3.
As of mid-week, the suspect was still at large and police had not received any tips, said Terri Vickers, a spokeswoman for the Renton Police Department.
According to police, at around 4 a.m., a young woman asleep on her couch at the Springtree Condominiums in the 4300 block of Sunset Boulevard awoke
to an unknown male suspect next to her.
When the woman woke up and looked at the suspect, he fled.
He gained entry into the residence through a ground-level window.
The man is a white male, between 22 and
25 years old. He is about 5-foot-7-inches tall, with a medium build and olive skin. He has brown, curly, “matted-down” hair that is “grungy” in appearance. He has fuzzy eyebrows and “smallish” black eyes and was wearing a navy blue zip-up hoodie and jeans.
Anyone with information about the suspect is urged to contact Detective Pete Kordel of the Renton Police Depart-ment at 425-430-7647 or [email protected].

“People work together in special ways and the school district has a very special relationship with the community and that goes back to Gary Kohlwes,” Risdon said. “I think he was superintendent for 23 years, which is unheard of these days.”
Risdon describes the school board of the early 1990s as “a fractured group at odds with the superintendent and with each other… to the degree that Gary Kohlwes actually sued them and won.”
That development changed the culture of the school district, giving the superintendent the right to manage the school system and reaffirmed the school board’s role in setting policy. In the years since Kohlwes, Superintendents Dolores Gibbons and Mary Alice Heuschel built on Kohl-wes’s legacy, Risdon said.
She calls them all “remarkable people.”“I think that I try hard to model treating people with
respect and giving them the room to be themselves and encouraging and supporting their efforts to become more,” she said. “That’s the heart; the technology side is being a person who thinks strategically about processes and sys-tems that support the work I just described.”
Risdon said that over time she’s developed a knack for putting the right people together to creatively generate solutions to problems.
Now she plans to travel starting this month to Scandi-navia, next March to the South Pacific and a year from September she’ll be in Spain and Portugal.
A lifelong musician, Risdon is excited to focus more attention on playing her oboe. She plays in an orchestra, a Renton community band and a quintet.
When asked what’s next and if she’ll really retire, Risdon said, “I don’t know quite yet.”
“I know I’m not done learning, that’s for sure,” she said. “I’m not done growing.”

under the bridge have increased, bringing more debris with them.
“We’ve had series of 100-year flood events over the past several years and it’s taken its toll on that bridge, significantly,” Betlach said.
Betlach said after each flooding event, the city has had engineers look at the bridge to make sure it was still sound and the last review said it was getting close to its life expectancy and would need to be replaced.
In 2012 the city applied for two grants to rebuild the bridge, but it did not receive either and had a decision to make.
“We didn’t want to close the bridge so we took it to the legislature,” Betlach said.
Because of its location and the connec-tions it makes as part of the Cedar River Greenway and trail system, Betlach said the bridge provides “major access” to the larger system and is of regional importance.
The legislature agreed, and even in a tight budget year officials on behalf of the city were able to secure $1.1 million – more than the $1 million initially requested – to ensure the safety and continued viability of the bridge.
Now, the old wooden bridge will be re-placed with steel; but, according to Betlach, that is not the most important part of this “amazing project.”
“The piles come out of the river,” she said. “That’s really important.”
The city is also proposing the new bridge will be slightly narrower and made to allow
light to pass through, which is important for the ecosystem below.
“That’s important for the salmon,” Bet-lach said, adding that shaded areas make it easier for predators.
In addition, some habitat restoration will take place, removing some invasive species along the riverbank and replacing them with native plants that will further encour-age insects, a key food of the salmon.
Betlach said timing of the project was de-pendent on permits, though she said there was no possibility of the project being com-pleted this year. Betlach said the construc-tion will also be confined to a narrow “fish window” in August, most likely of next year, that should allow access to the river without disrupting migration patterns.
“It really is an important point of access,” Betlach said. “We are very appreciative.”
