Several downtown Renton intersections were dotted with teachers in red shirts May 28, all chanting and waving signs for support from passing vehicles.

Joined by Renton School District School Board members and administrators, the teachers were voicing their frustrations in a one-day, after school protest and rally.

One protester, teacher Kerri Dowd, called the list of frustra-tions a “hot mess” of problems teachers want solved by the state legislature. Everything was on the table including fully funding education according to the McCleary decision, cost-of-living raises, health care funding, an end to Common Core testing and smaller class sizes.

Boeing begins production of 737 MAXBY BRIAN BECKLEY

[email protected]

Boeing is about to take its Renton production facility to the MAX.

This week, workers started building the first 737 MAX air-craft, beginning with the wings.

Machine operators on May 29 loaded 737 MAX wing skin panels and stringers into the new panel

assembly line that uses automa-tion to drill holes and install fasteners in the upper and lower wing panels.

Mechanics also loaded the initial parts of the first 737 MAX spars— internal support struc-tures in wings—into automated spar assembly machines. The unfinished skins, stringers and spars were machined by Boe-

ing Fabrication Skin and Spar in Auburn and Fredrickson. When finished, the panels and spars will be transformed into completed wings.

The new 737 MAX wings are a little thicker than the current NG wings because they must handle larger engines.

Valley looks to ‘gold standard’ for assault exams

Renton teachers take it to the streets

BY DEAN A. RADFORD

[email protected]

Starting in early July, highly trained nurses will come to Valley Medical Center to administer sexual-assault exams that can provide the critical evidence needed to send a rapist to prison.

The exams, also known as “rape kits,” have always been available at Valley; but about a year ago Valley administrators reached out to UW Medicine after hospital nurses expressed concern about the exact-ing demands, both medical and legal, of their administration.

“They didn’t want a woman to suffer yet again because we had not been able to do it absolutely perfectly,” Theresa Braun-gardt, Valley’s chief nursing officer, said of the exam, which takes about three hours.

Valley’s registered nurses didn’t perform enough of the highly specialized exams to maintain their skills and to keep up with changing protocols, Braungardt said. Valley’s nurses met Public Health require-

When Long Tran was a kid, he thought filmmaking was for lucky people, people blessed to create films.

But now, with some recent film festival wins under his belt, the Renton High School senior is ready to take on the world of movie-mak-ing and pursue it as a career.

In May, Tran took home an Award of Excellence from the 2015 Northwest High School Film Festival for his film “Continuity.” It was one of the top films in the “satire, mockumentary and parody” category. Tran calls “Continuity” a spoof film and play on keeping things the same when shooting a movie.

“It’s a film about breaking rules basically, breaking the rules of film and making fun of filmmaking,” he said.

Tran, along with students from 20 to 25 other high schools, watched their entries play out on the big screen at the Cinerama in Seattle on May 19. Every year the film festival receives 200 to 300 entries, which are judged by a panel of film and video professionals. The students receive feedback on their productions and the chance to place in the awards ceremony. Some productions go on to take prizes at national and international festivals.

During the festival, Tran also re-ceived honorable mention for three more of his works: “Max,” a drama;

“Trapped,” a documentary on a transgender student and “Camera,” in which Tran starred as well as directed.

“It was cool to see my film on the big screen; it was huge,” he said.

Tran discovered filmmaking in Renton High teacher Susan John-

son’s video-production class. His curiosity took off from there and he began to learn the trade more outside of class.

“I’m really impressed with the speed at which he learned film,” said Johnson.

Johnson noticed Tran’s interest

in the moving image when he took her graphic design class. So she turned him on to a video program called After Effects and he liked it, she said.

“And so when he started, his videos were terrible; there was no story,” Johnson said. “But the amount of growth that he has had is just phenomenal.”

Johnson has her students submit entries to the Renton FilmFrenzy most years too. Tran has received second place in the student division of that festival as well. Johnson acts as a gate keeper to the Northwest High School Film Festival, only allowing the best of her students’ productions to be entered.

“There’s some really good work out there so I want to make sure we’re not wasting the judges time by looking at videos that aren’t very good,” she said.

Johnson is trying to plan a mini film festival at Renton High School to showcase all of the students’ films.

As for Tran, he has his sights set on a future in the industry.

“I didn’t know where my life was headed and really in high school I’ve found what I’m supposed to do for the rest of my life,” Tran said. “And I believe filmmaking is what I should do for the rest of my life.”

Two men were arrested for burglary recently based on descriptions by the homeowner who was watching on his cell phone.

Police responded to the 1300 block of North-east 28th Street after a homeowner notified police of a burglary going on at his house. The homeowner witnessed the crime through a security system that alerted him and sent video

to his smart phone.The homeowner was able to provide a descrip-

tion of the suspects and responding officers quickly located two suspects who matched the descriptions within a short walking distance of the victim’s house.

When police tried to contact the suspect, they took off running.

One suspect ran to a nearby Park and Ride, where he entered a car but was taken into cus-tody before he could drive away. Other officers spotted the second suspect and chased him to the detached garage of another home. The sus-pect tried to kick in the door to gain entry, but was taken into custody before he could succeed.

The homeowner’s video alarm system was instrumental in getting the officers real time in-formation and was also able to record the event for investigators to use as evidence.

The 34- and 48-year-old suspects were booked into jail on burglary charges.

Renton School District interim superintendent Dr. Art Jarvis has announced that Damien Pattenaude, one of the district’s current area instructional chiefs, will be the new assistant superintendent of learning and teaching. Pat-tenaude will take over the position, pending school board approval, on July 1.

Pattenaude is a Renton resident, who attended Campbell Hill Elementary School, Nelsen Middle School and gradu-ated from Renton High School. In his current position he focuses on supporting principals, teachers and sup-port staff to improve student achievement, a district press release stated.

Pattenaude is known for his strong leadership, commit-ment to improving educational experiences for students, and his broad understanding of the instructional program in Renton and throughout the region.

“Damien is smart, dedicated and hard-working, and has the skill set to help guide the department of Learning and Teaching—and all district teachers and support staff—as we as we continue to provide the best education for all Renton School District students,” said Jarvis. “Beyond his

strong capabilities and qualifications, Damien’s connect and deep roots to this community provides us all with the stabil-ity to move forward and make Renton School District an even better school system.”

Pattenaude, who grew up in the West Hill/Skyway neighborhood of the district, graduated from Washington State Uni-versity (WSU) with a bachelor’s degree in

English (and endorsements in language arts, English and history) and a master’s degree in Educational Leadership, and is currently enrolled in the WSU doctoral program. He has served the Renton School District for the past 14 years as a teacher at Renton High School, assistant principal at Hazen High School, then returned to Renton High School where he served as principal for five years. Pattenaude has been an area instructional chief for the past two years. In 2013, he was appointed by Washington Gov. Jay Inslee to serve a four-year term on the state’s Professional Educator Standards Board.

Pattenaude will replace Dr. Tammy Campbell as the new assistant superintendent of learning and teaching, which oversees all of the district curriculum development, assess-ment of students, professional development for teachers and district staff. Campbell is moving on to become the new superintendent of Federal Way schools.

Damien Pattenaude

Pattenaude named assistant superintendent County hosts public meetings on wood-in-river projects

Learn more about projects planned by King County that involve plac-ing large wood in rivers or streams, at either of two meetings scheduled for June 9 on Mercer Island.

Meetings covering the same subject matter are scheduled for 3-5 p.m. and again from 6-8 p.m. at the Mercer Island Com-munity and Event Center, 8236 S.E. 24th St., Mercer Island.

Each meeting will include a presentation and open house session with project managers.

King County uses large wood in river projects to redirect flows away from erosion-prone river banks; as part of a levee repair or flood-risk reduction proj-ects; and to improve habi-tat for fish and wildlife.

Presentations will in-clude descriptions, sched-

ules and impacts of these seven projects currently in the design or planning stages that include placing or naturally recruiting large wood in rivers:

• Cedar River – Elliott Bridge Reach Off-Channel Habitat and Floodplain Reconnection;

• Snoqualmie River – Winkelman Revetment Reconstruction Project on the Snoqualmie River;

• Green River – Fenster-Wallace-Cook Large Wood Addition on the Green River; and

Trio of burglars hits Kennydale storage facilityBY DEAN A. RADFORD

[email protected]

Three thieves in the evening light of May 27 burglarized about 60 units at the Public Storage in north Kennydale.

In the aftermath of the initial police investigation, managers of the complex contacted customers with follow-up forms so they could report their losses to police.

But Renton Police officers re-sponded again on Sunday, May 31, to the sounds of a woman crying

and screaming at the business on Northeast 48th Street.

The 27-year-old homeless woman living in her car had just discovered her storage unit ransacked and $1,000 in antique jewelry and a $500 silver hair and mirror set gone. Also taken were her wallet with her drivers license and EBT card inside.

Surveillance cameras captured some of the movement on May 27 of the three burglars – two men and a woman dressed in dark clothing. The brazen trio were

there sometime after about 7:30 p.m., when it’s common for cus-tomers to come to their units.

A Renton Police officer walk-ing the perimeter determined the three cut a hole in a cyclone fence to get in, then walked down a small trail to another fence, where they cut another hole, according to a Renton Police report.

A gate was forced open and one of the buildings entered, where the three forced open several units. Several doors showed pry marks but weren’t open, probably indicat-

ing a failed attempt.It’s not certain how many units

were actually entered.At about 8:40 p.m., surveillance

footage shows a white or light-col-ored Chevrolet Astro van arrive, which blocked the movements of the three burglars. But officers believe the three used the van as their getaway vehicle. It’s license plate wasn’t visible.

A white Chevrolet van is as-sociated with other burglaries at the Public Storage. Police have its license plate number.

.comfuture of what this facility will become,” Keith Leverkuhn, vice president and general manager, 737 MAX, said Tues-day during a press tour of the facility. Leverkuhn added that the original schedule called for the spars to be loaded May 29, the exact day they were brought in.

“Employees in Renton are the best in the world at building single-aisle airplanes and now this world-class team is building the future with the first 737 MAX,” he said in a press release. “Achieving this milestone on schedule is a testament to the success of the 737 and our integrated design and build team.”

The wings will be attached to the first 737 MAX fuse-lage on the new central line in Renton Final Assembly in September.

The new production line will allow the team to isolate the first 737 MAX build from the rest of production in or-der to learn and perfect the build process at a slower rate while the Renton factory continues to turn out airplanes at a rate of 42 per month.

The company also plans to continue ramping up pro-duction at the Renton plant, jumping to 47 planes in 2017 and then up to 52 planes per month in 2018.

Much of the increase in production comes from new Panel Assembly Line machines that replace the current lines, which have been in use since the 1960s.

According to officials, the machines will lead to a 33 percent improvement in the flow through the facility. Currently there are four of the machines in operation, with a total of nine eventually being used.

According to officials, the process is currently 70 per-cent automated and will increase to 90 percent when all of the machines are in place.

Even with the additional automation at the facility, Boeing officials do not expect that any jobs will be af-fected. In fact, they think more may be created to help

meet the demand. More than 10,000 employees presently work at the Renton facility.

“It’s really exciting to be starting something that you know is going to be in the future and that you are going to be building,” said David Dowell, 737 mechanic. “I’m looking forward to it and future growth.”

Beginning in 2017, the new single-aisle 737 MAX will deliver 20 percent lower fuel use than the first Next-Gen-eration 737s and the lowest operating costs in its class—8 percent per seat less than its nearest competitor.

To date, the 737 MAX has 2,720 orders from 57 cus-tomers worldwide. The program is scheduled to enter service in 2017.

[ 737 from page 1]


Ask any salesperson what they need to sell a product and they’ll say two things.

First, there must be a need for the product being sold.

Second, there has to be rapport between the company and the consumer.

The news industry is no different than a business in this sense. Information is a valu-able commodity that will never depreciate, so the need for TV news stations and newspapers remains strong.

What the news industry doesn’t have is rapport. For many reasons, the public finds it hard to trust us.

According to a 2013 Gal-lup poll, only 21 percent of Americans rated newspaper reporters as highly honest and ethical.

That’s just above lawyers and TV reporters (20 percent), cars salespeople (9 percent) and members of Congress (8 percent), and right below business executives (22 percent) and local officeholders (23 percent).

I’m no statistician, but those numbers don’t look too friendly for us, and it only gets worse.

According to the Pew Research Center, 66

percent of Americans said news stories are inac-curate.

(Note that these numbers refer to the news industry in general. When people were asked about their local or favorite news sources, 62 percent of Americans said news stories are ac-curate.)

Additionally, 77 percent of Americans said the news sources are politically biased, and 80 per-cent said the news is often influenced by people and organizations with deep pockets.

In short, these numbers make for a tough sell. Much of the public doesn’t trust the news in-dustry, because they think our information isn’t accurate, it’s forwarding a political agenda or it’s censored and controlled.

I wish I could say the public’s doubt in the news industry isn’t well founded, but as a news consumer myself, I feel the same confusion and distrust many other people feel toward the in-dustry. Every time a journalist makes up sources for a story or a news anchor is caught lying on TV, the entire industry’s credibility takes a hit.

But even though the industry is up against the ropes, there is still time to come back. All we need to do is earn back that public trust.

There’s nothing quite like the threat of a government shutdown July 1 to infuse urgency into negotiations on a new state budget.

Party leaders in the House and Senate and Gov. Jay Inslee have met every morn-ing since Monday to assess progress on reaching agreement in time to prevent an unprecedented halt to services throughout Washington.

On Tuesday, Senate Republican leaders said talks are on a “trajectory” to achieve a breakthrough this week.

And Tuesday night, the lead Democrat and Republican budget writers in the House announced they were having productive and “meaningful discussions that we believe will get us to a budget deal soon.”

So if you channel lawmakers’ optimism, it would seem a deal could be struck at literally any moment, though probably not before House Democrats drop their call for a capital gains tax.

But even if lawmakers avert a shutdown with passage of a new two-year spending plan, they might be unable to avoid pun-ishment from the state Supreme Court over the budget’s contents.

Remember, the justices found that the 147 members of the Legisla-ture were in contempt last September for not turning in a written plan of how they would ensure public elementary and secondary schools will receive ample state funding by a 2018 deadline.

The court requested the plan more than a year ago because it wanted to know specifi-cally what legislators were intending to do and when they were going to do it.

There’s no sign yet such a manuscript is getting drafted. Lawmakers are still wran-gling with the toughest elements in the court’s so-called McCleary mandate.

One part is pretty much done. The House and Senate are generally in accord on spend-ing roughly $1.4 billion in the next budget to pay for all-day kindergarten, smaller classes in grades K-3 and student transportation and an increased portion of materials, sup-plies and operating costs of schools.

That’s only a third of the challenge, how-ever.

Lawmakers also need to find a way to end school districts’ use of local property tax levies to help pay teachers, staff and admin-istrators by having the state pick up the full tab. Accomplishing this will take time and money – how long and how much isn’t clear, and require school districts to trust they won’t be shortchanged in the process.

A handful of House and Senate members are persevering to craft a scheme that is financially feasible, politically palatable and legally acceptable with justices.

The third large piece is to figure out what

to do about the voter mandate in Initiative 1351, which called for a reduction in the size of classes in all grades. Both chambers only endorse smaller classes through third grade and want to suspend the requirements for the remaining grades.

Senate Republicans want to ask voters this fall to embrace this approach. House Democrats say that’s too risky, because if voters say no, the price for shrinking class sizes in the upper grades is $2 billion.

House Democrats prefer that the Legislature suspend the measure, a move which requires sup-port from at least a two-thirds majority in both chambers. And Democrats would create a panel

to find the answer to how long it would take to carry out the initiative.

“This is a puzzle that is hard to put together,” said Rep. Ross Hunter of Medina, the Democrats’ chief budget writer. “If we make people unhappy on that vote, they’re not voting for the budget.” That’s where the prospect of a shutdown might inspire pragmatic acts over principled stands.

Neither political party nor the governor wants to be blamed for what would be the first-ever, state-government stoppage in Washington.

“Mom, I love it when Mr. Lee makes my drinks,” Sophie said, scanning the receipt, “He always gives me extra balls and doesn’t even charge me!”

My daughter, Sophie, had recently discovered bubble tea. As a result, we were quickly developing an afternoon routine of driving over to Fortune Noodle House in the Renton Highlands where I waited in the car as she rushed inside.

Four minutes later, she would return with a huge smile and some new bubble-tea flavor combination.

I didn’t get this new obsession. Hadn’t bubble tea been around forever? I had tried it once and assumed that the “bubble” part of the tea was effervescent, not

chewy balls, a nearly fatal mistake.OK, I’m being dramatic. But I never went

back for bubble tea. There was something about drinking and chewing that didn’t feel right.

Besides, I’m a coffee drinker, and if I’m honest, a snobby one. There is nothing like a great cup of Joe in the morning!

“Mom, I love swirling the tapioca balls on the bottom with the straw. It’s best when the tapioca is really soft and squishy,” my daughter said. “You have to taste this be-cause the balls are perfectly soft today!

“I like to take a sip of the creamy, sweet milk tea and then crush the tapioca be-tween my teeth, like this,” she said as she showed me how to macerate these sticky looking black balls between her teeth.

I’ll admit, as a food writer, the experience of watching her suck those balls through the oversized straw and then describe the experience in minute pleasurable detail was a little surreal: like watching someone else eat the most incredible meal you are sup-posed to be reviewing!

It was a hot day and as I looked from my watery-looking iced Americano to Sophie’s beaming face, I realized I was in a bit of a rut when it came to summer drinks. I’ve cut down on my dairy consumption, so these days the most exciting nonalcoholic beverage in the summertime is transition-ing from my morning hot Americano to an iced Americano.

Suddenly, the idea of attaining a thimble full of Sophie’s new-found Nirvana over this iced tea beverage made me want to give it another go.

Fortunately, Mr. Lee (the generous bub-ble giver) from the Fortune Noodle House was happy to have his longtime employee, Mi Tran, show us.

According to Mi Tran, the Bubble Tea aficionado, bubble tea was originally a Tai-wanese drink with soft, sweetened chewy black tapioca pearls or (boba).

Sophie and I watched as Mi compose a traditional bubble tea: In the familiar large plastic domed cup, start off spoon-ing roughly four tablespoons of the “black balls” (an instant type of tapioca cooked in boiling water for five minutes). Once chewy, but not mushy, the “boba” is mixed with a prepared simple syrup mixture (equal parts brown or white sugar and boil-ing water) for a slightly sweet flavoring.

Add a few spoonfuls of condensed milk, along with regular milk, pour in a concen-trated cold black tea and fill with ice. The last bit of fun is popping in one of those fat straws and you’re good to go!

Over the years, sweetened black milk tea has given way to all different types of flavors and additives of fresh fruit and blended, tea-like frozen drinks.

Mi Tran also prepared for us a fresh mango-blended slushy tea with a splash of lemonade, as well as a sweetened taro root flavored slushy with a mix of “boba” and a jellied lychee fruit — a spiny red tree fruit native to China with a delicate, white, kiwi-textured fruit on the inside.

Different bubble tea shops around town have different recipes and options.

And if you want to immerse yourself in the bubble-tea experience, as Sophie and I did, check out a little nook inside the Renton Village Uwajimaya called Oasis. Here’s the website http://oasisteazone.com/bubbletea.html

According to I-Miun Liu, owner of Oasis, what started off three years ago as a weekend stand at the Renton Uwajimaya quickly morphed into a seven-days-per-week operation.

Oasis is family owned and includes the original 3,000-square-foot, full restaurant

location in Seattle’s International District, a University Village location, a kiosk at the Bellevue Uwajimaya as well as a halfway completed build-out on Capitol Hill.

“Our family has a history of owning small businesses. Almost 15 years ago we opened our first bubble tea shop in China Town when bubble tea in the Pacific North-west was just starting off,” Liu said.

Over the past five years Oasis has expe-rienced its fastest growth. This summer we can look forward to an expansion at the Renton Uwajimaya location, with outside seating, extended business hours, as well as

some specialty foods items like traditional popcorn chicken and of course, bubble tea!

“We’ve been really successful in this diverse region because people are willing to try something new,” Liu said.

The original Oasis shop had late hours, a high energy and appealed to all ages and ethnicities.

“That’s what I love most about bubble tea, it’s not a serious type of drink. It’s a fun drink. We’ve jazzed up the original to include recipes that appeal to diverse cul-tures: tourists, age ranges, ethnicities, and families. Each store has its own energy and menu item favorites,” Liu said.

There are many options in bubble tea which is a little intimidating at first order, which is why Oasis has a great tutorial about options. There are choices for vegans, lactose intolerant, caffeine free and even without the “boba.”

Which is why I simply deferred and ordered the most popular non-dairy drink. And for someone who hadn’t had a milk-shake in a while, it was a delicious, refresh-ing and fun choice that had both a creamy and slushy texture.

“You were right, Sophie,” I said, slurping up a few tapioca balls and gnashing them between my teeth for effect.

But Sophie was already off, grabbing a shopping cart and cruising down the aisle at Uwajimaya, hopping with excitement on our next adventure: procuring ingredients to make bubble tea at home.

My first love will always be coffee, but having another option this summer on those hot days when you’re looking for a little treat, something refreshing and definitely fun.

A new summer option bubbles up for this coffee drinkerHo

The beginning of June is filled with roses. You can purchase blooming roses in

containers this month from local nurseries so you’ll be able to see and smell the goods before you dig in and prepare a proper planting hole.

Here in the cool summer climate of Western Washington roses can suffer from black spot, mildew and other fungus among us. Choos-ing disease resistant roses is the easiest way to enjoy healthy rose plants.

A location in full sun with good air circulation around the plants also helps to keep rose foliage free of disease.

I’ll promise you a rose garden if you remember that these superstars of the flower garden demand plenty to eat and drink and if you read and heed the answers below from the most-asked, rose-growing questions.

Q. What is the best type of rose for our climate in Western

Washington?

A. If you want easy care, then invest in the newest group of roses on

the market called landscape roses. These varieties can be treated more like flowering shrubs than traditional rose plants.

They are shrubby roses with superior dis-ease resistance but they still need sun, good soil that drains well and fertilizing to keep them belting out the blooms all summer.

Look for The Flower Carpet roses, a low growing multi-flora available in a variety of colors including coral, pink, white and red, the Knock Out rose, blooming taller and with larger blooms in deep pink, or a line of roses called Easy Elegance with flowers that are similar in shape to the hybrid tea rose but with more blooms per stem.

The garden gossip on this class of rose is the blooms do not last long as cut flowers nor do they have long stems.

Q. I have heard you speak at differ-ent times and you have some rule

about choosing roses that will be more dis-ease resistant. I need to replace some of my hybrid tea roses and do not want the shrubby landscape rose because I want to grow roses for cut flowers to bring indoors. What do you recommend?

A. Think pink with no stink. This means roses in shades of pink

with little or no fragrance will be the most naturally disease resistant. This explains why the easy-care landscape roses are most often pink without much fragrance. An old-fashioned pink rose with clusters of small blooms called ‘The Fairy’ does especially well in Western Washington.

When it comes to hybrid tea roses with large blooms there are more color choices with disease resistance. The tall grandiflora Queen Elizabeth, the peach and yellow Peace rose and the Double Delight rose with cream blooms edged with deep pink are varieties that have done well in my own garden.

The joy of growing roses is in the diversity of the varieties so don’t deny yourself the joy of trying new colors, new forms and roses rich with fragrance. If a rose does not do well for you just dig it out–you do not owe any plant a lifetime commitment.

Q. Where can I learn more about how to properly prune my roses? I have

purchased a home with climbing roses and a separate more formal rose garden and I am new to the area.

A. Contact the local chapter of the Ameri-can Rose Society at ars.org for information and demonstrations and you’ll learn care from local experts. Their official website has free videos on planting, pruning and caring for roses and local chapters offer pruning demonstrations.

If you decide to officially join the Ameri-can Rose Society you will receive copies of their magazine, bulletins on the latest in rose varieties and care and discounts to visit gardens and to purchase roses from their partners.

Members of the ARS also earn free advice from a consulting rosarian that lives in their area.

“If you asked every person here, every-one would have a slightly different story to tell, but it comes back to we’re here for the kids,” Dowd said. “And we want to do the best job we can for America’s future and the legislature is not supporting us by fully funding education. They’re not support-ing us by tying teacher evaluations to test scores, even when some of us don’t teach the subjects that are being tested.”

David Schott, a music teacher in the district, felt compelled to protest because of the McCleary decision, the 2012 state Supreme Court ruling that found the leg-islature was not meeting its constitutional obligation to fully fund education. Schott is upset that the money allocated for educa-tion has been spent on everything else and that education gets pitted against other state needs.

“That seems like how I feel and how many other teachers feel that we’re last, when the McCleary decision means we’re first,” he said.

Still others were out to get attention for the passage of I-1351, the class-size reduc-tion measure.

“We’re out here today because the voters of the state of Washington did a very nice job of passing funding for smaller class sizes and the legislature decided to use those funds elsewhere,” said Nathan Mad-dox, a Hazen High School math teacher.

The teachers were joined by Renton administrators and school board members, who also waved signs and protested along-side teachers.

“As a school board member, we spend our fair share of time in Olympia meeting with legislators and hosting them, making sure they understand what the district’s all about,” said Lynn Desmarais. “We’re all on the same page on this issue.”

After the sign-waving campaign, the protesters moved to the Renton Piazza for a rally. In the audience were teachers, par-ents, students and community members. They heard speeches from many there, in-cluding Washington Education Association President Stephen Miller, Acting Renton Superintendent Sheryl Moore, School Board President Pam Teal and Renton Education Association President Cami Kiel, among others.

“REA members are tired,” said Kiel.

“Teachers across the state are tired. We are tired of being 47th in the nation in class size. We are tired of being 42nd in the na-tion in per pupil spending. We haven’t had a COLA from the state in six years.”

“We have had no increase in health care funding in five years,” she said, listing off complaints.

Supporters took to the microphone one by one airing their frustrations. Even Hazen student Paul Charbonneau had something to say in support of the teachers: “How can the Renton School District be ahead of the curve, when our funding sets us up to be behind it.”

The rally ended with protesters and those gathered in the Piazza singing a song.

Athletes from the three Renton high schools did well this past weekend during the 2A and 3A state track meets at Mount Tahoma High School in Tacoma.

Renton’s Shelly Sauls came home from this week-end’s competition with three medals, including a second-place finish in the 2A 200 meters and fourth-place finish in the 100 meters (Shorecrest’s Wurrie Njadoe won both events). Sauls finished just 0.82 seconds behind in the 200.

Sauls third medal came in the 4x200 relay in which the Renton team of Raylan Aplo-nio, Sauls, Savannah Smith and Olivia Carter earned a second-place finish, finishing a scant 0.02 seconds behind the winners, Bellingham.

Hazen’s Alicia Nguyen also placed in two events in the 3A girls meet, finished 11th in the high jump and 13th

in the long jump.On the boys 2A side, Lindbergh’s Isiah Banfro and

D’Shaun Sims each brought home two individual med-als.

Banfro finished second in the 200 meters and third in the 100 meters, just 0.11 and 0.04 seconds back of the winner, respectively.

Sims finished fifth in the discus and 10th in the shot put.

Other 2A state finishers on the boys side include the Renton 4x100 relay team of Maurice Hunter, Josiah Stroy, Tony Vo and Taiwan Wash-ington finished seventh.

And in the pole vault, the Lindbergh trio of Robby Wiliams, Derek Anderson and Antonio Lim finished fifth, sixth and seventh, respectively.

In the 3A meet, Hazen’s Jesus Vargas finished eighth in the 800 meters while Parker Trewet finished eighth in the shot put.

On the girls side, Lindbergh’s Aajua Brooks finished third in the long jump while Lindbergh’s Feven Fessehatzion and Renton’s Tyra Beckman finished 13th and 16th in the 3200 meters and Lind-bergh’s Riley Hill finished 10th in the javelin.

At the 3A girls meet, Hazen’s Sarah Hart also finished 15th in the 1600 meters and Michele Lilly finished 15th in the triple jump.

Think about other public services we rely on; doctors, teachers, police officers. Besides working for the public good, they have one other thing in common.

They’re accredited. Vouched for. Li-censed. They’ve gone through rigorous study and testing to ensure they have the knowledge and skills necessary for serving the public.

(By the way, nurses, pharmacists, teachers and doctors top that Gallup list of most trusted professions. Coincidence?)

If the news industry is going to come back from this public relations nightmare, then we’ve got to earn that same level of credibility.

It should take more than a bachelors degree in liberal arts, a laminated press pass and a byline to be a journalist.

The industry needs to come together and create an independent, apolitical organiza-tion to oversee the development and ac-creditation of a new generation of educated, ethical and honest journalists.

Accrediting journalists would change the news industry in several ways.

First, a national organization can lead a coordinated effort to educate prospective journalists on media law, First Amendment rights and reporting ethics.

Passing an accreditation exam would be similar to a lawyer passing the bar exam, or a doctor’s medical exams. It’s a way to

keep track of journalists who have taken the time and effort to educate themselves on the ever-changing news world.

As more journalists become accredited, we will see a shift in the industry’s attitude toward news, replacing the notion that news should be reported first and fact-checked later with the belief that the news should be more accurate than fast, and more honest than political.

The American public is tired of rapid-fire news reporting, where facts are shot out of a cannon at readers and viewers without context or a knowledge base. They want accurate and honest reporting, even if that means getting their news a little slower.

Unfortunately, the heads of the news industry have gone in the opposite direc-tion.

In an attempt to staunch the slow but deadly bleeding of the industry, many report-ers and journalists have lost their jobs so newspapers and TV stations can stay finan-cially afloat.

This only makes it harder for remaining journalists to gather and report accurate information. Some newspa-pers and news stations may be in the financial black, but if responsibility could be recorded in a ledger, we’d be

deep in the red.The news industry shouldn’t be treated

like a business, and the bottom line shouldn’t be about money.

It should be about trust, ethics and hon-esty. Those are the ideas the public wants the news industry to adhere to.

If we as journalists hold ourselves to that standard on a national level, and find a way to make us more accountable and trustwor-thy, the public will start to believe in the fourth estate again.

[ COMMENTARY from page 6]

The Planning and Development Committee of the Renton City Council will decide whether a developer gets to continue on with a 96-lot subdivision planned for the Tiffany Park neighbor-hood at an appeal brought by a group of concerned residents on Monday.

The appeal is scheduled for 3 p.m., June 8, in Renton City Council Cham-bers, 1055 S. Grady Way, Renton.

The Tiffany Park Woods Advocacy Group (TPWAG) is appealing the final decision by City of Renton Hearing Ex-aminer Phil Olbrechts to allow developer Henley, USA, LLC to continue with their project on the property as planned.

It is not a public hearing and both sides get to argue their case. No new testimony will be allowed and both sides are limited to only the information that’s in the record. The burden of proof rests on TPWAG.

ments to administer the tests.Nurses in the emergency

room typically did three to five exams each month, out of the roughly 7,000 visits made to the ER, according to Braun-gardt.

During the last sev-eral months, Valley and UW Medicine have worked out an agreement in which Har-borview Medical Center will send a SANE-trained nurse to Valley to do an exam. SANE stands for Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner.

The registered nurse has received special training to pro-vide comprehensive care and to conduct the forensic exam. The SANE nurse also can provide expert testimony if the case goes to trial.

“This role was developed be-cause it is so specialized now,” said Braungardt, who likened the new protocol to sending any patient to Harborview for the expert care available there.

Northwest Hospital and UW Medical Center, which like Valley Medical are components of UW Medicine, have followed the same protocol for years.

In the interim, Valley has been sending patients to Harborview for the exams, after first performing a medical examination and providing crisis counseling.

“It’s really important that we

are really clear that before they leave our Emergency Depart-ment, they have a medical screening exam to make sure they are physically safe and no harm or injury has come to them during the course of their assault,” said Kayett Asuquo, director of Valley’s Emergency Department.

Counselors will help them arrange transportation to Harborview in Seattle, either privately or through a taxi ser-vice, she said. Often, a victim will come to the hospital with someone, who can provide much-needed support, she said.

The exams are free for the victim, which are paid for by the Crime Victims Compensa-tion Fund.

Bonnie Conley, director of social work at Harborview, called a SANE exam “the gold standard” for treating a patient. She expects the “significant amount of training” required and preparations to store evi-dence should be done by July 1.

With the addition of Valley, UW Medicine will be able to provide the same level of care throughout its system, she said. “This is a big deal,” she said. Also near Harborview is UW Medicine’s Sexual Assault and Traumatic Stress Center.

Conley said Harborview knows it’s “a hardship” for a patient to go to Seattle in the

interim but the trade-off is the higher level of care.

Asuquo, the Emergency Department director, agrees.

“We’ve always wanted to give our community the very best service. So for a period of time that very best service required that they go to Harborview for specialized care,” she said. But starting in early July, a victim will stay in their own commu-nity, “which is what they want.

Mary Frances Klug, a spokeswoman for the King County Sexual Assault Resource Center in Renton, stressed the importance of be-ing examined quickly, espe-cially if the victim was drugged, and collecting evidence in the proper way.

A hospital counselor will help a victim determine how best to move forward with her care, which could include the morning-after pill or a screen-ing for STDs, according to Asuquo.

In May, Gov. Jay Inslee signed a law that effective July 23 police agencies are required to request testing of a rape kit within 30 days after receiv-ing the kit, unless the victim doesn’t want the evidence used in an investigation.

Thousands of rape kits have gone untested across the na-tion, likely allowing rapists to escape prosecution, according to victim advocates.

Gail Ellis, Furumasu and Takami both battled through some aggravat-ing injuries to earn their medals. Both fought through tough three-

setters to win their third match before falling in their fourth. Bruno played exceptionally well and lost only to Zach Fleischman from Bellevue 6-4, 6-3, who finished in second place.
