Gov. Chris Gregoire received high praise Wednesday.
“That’s a good-looking hole,” said her classroom partner, Michael Bourgeois, who is training to become an aero-space assembly mechanic at Renton Technical College.
Bourgeois says he never ex-pected to be drilling holes with the governor of the state.
But, on Wednesday Gregoire wanted to see the produc-tion of an airplane from start to finish, beginning with an aerospace classroom at RTC, followed by a visit to the 737 production plant in Renton and finally time in a flight simulator.
“The whole day is about learn it, build it and fly it, and what the aerospace industry means to the state of Washing-ton” said Gregoire Wednesday morning before she headed out for the rest of her tour.
“Puget Sound has now been
ranked the No. 1 manufac-turing region in the country and in large part that’s due to aerospace,” she said.
The aerospace program at RTC is all about ensuring “Boeing continues to have the highest-skilled workers,” she said.
Gregoire started her day at about 8 a.m., sitting with the other students in front of instructor Howard Blinder, who went over the goals for the project. Each student had a partner; Bourgeois sat with her.
The students are learn-
ing how to assemble jetlin-ers. Their tools are drills and rivet guns, used to install the fasteners that keep an airplane together.
The students had already done preparation online; now was the time for the hands-on

Crack cocaine derailed the life of Wayne Harlan Whitehead for about four years before he discovered the ARISE Men’s Homeless Shelter and got back on his feet.
Prior to his transformation, Whitehead was involved with the drug and would get so depressed he didn’t venture outside except to buy beer.
Crack made him so paranoid that he finally turned himself in to a hospital’s mental-health ward where he started his “little comeback.”
Whitehead would eventually seek ref-uge at the ARISE program in Renton.
“The first night I was there and I slept on a mattress on the floor, it just felt like all the weight was lifted, it was safe,” Whitehead said.
He was one of three formerly home-less men honored for their accomplish-
ments at a June 5 celebration at Harambee Church in Renton.
Now Whitehead has permanent hous-ing, spends some of his time volunteering and is working on securing a job.
ARISE is an acronym for Area of Renton Interfaith Shelter Endeavor.
Although the program has existed since 2004 and helped many men find jobs, permanent housing or treatment, this was the first time it held a formal celebration

The vote on the annexation of West Hill to Renton will occur as planned on Nov. 6, de-spite ongoing concerns by the City of Renton about its ability to pay for services there.
The Renton City Council voted 4-3 Monday night to reject a motion to delay the an-nexation vote indefinitely and remove it from the November ballot.
West Hill residents and business leaders spoke in favor of letting the vote move forward. They’ve waited four years for the vote; the annexation petition setting the process in motion was certified in December 2008.
“There is a lot of economic potential up there,” said Steve Holman, who lives in Bryn Mawr. West Hill is a “diamond in the rough,” he said, before the council vote.
The City Council discussed the issues at length during its Committee of the Whole meeting prior to its regular meeting. Preserv-ing a sales-tax credit from the state, a criti-cal piece of the financing package, was a key consideration.
The vote came after council members

Chip Vincent is the new administrator for the City of Renton’s Community and Economic Development Depart-ment.
He replaces Alex Pietsch, who was appointed in March by Gov. Chris Gregoire to head the new Governor’s Aerospace Office.
Mayor Denis Law made the announcement last week. Vincent was interim administrator after Pietsch left.
Vincent will oversee economic development, land use planning and regulation, and services related to all aspects of the development process, while working with key stake-holders to enhance the economic prosperity, vitality, and livability of the community for Renton citizens.
He will serve on Law’s executive team and be responsible for providing vision, leadership, initiative, management, and coordination to implement the mayor and City Council’s goals for citywide commu-nity and economic development, accord-ing to a city news release.
The department also helps coordinate the city’s response to regional, state, and federal legislative issues that affect Renton.
“Chip is an exceptional addition to our team and comes to this position with rich experience and a great deal of enthusiasm,” said Law. “In a short period of time, he has
developed a positive working relationship with his staff and other administrators, and has earned the respect of our regional partners.”
“Renton is seen as a model in our region for economic development, a thriving business community, dedicated residents, and innovative leadership,” said Chip Vincent.
Vincent has served as the city’s planning director since 2008. In that role he supervised the work of the planning division, which included the application and enforcement of the city’s zoning, shoreline management, and environ-mental ordinances; review and processing of all land use and subdivision permit applications; representing the city on state, regional and county level growth and planning related boards and committees; and providing technical and professional support to the Planning Commission and City Council committees.

The Renton School District is still in commu-nication with the non-profit organization, Teach for America, to staff hard-to-fill positions in the district.
Randy Matheson, the district’s spokesman, called the Renton Reporter midweek to clarify his earlier statements that the district was no longer discussing using graduates of the program to fill open district positions.
The ongoing discussions with Teach for America include the Renton Education Associa-tion and the University of Washington, which hosts the Teach for America program locally.
Currently, the Renton School District has about 75 positions it needs to fill for the next school year.
Originally, Matheson said the district took the question of using Teach for America off the table.
The district has yet to present the school board with a formal plan or contract for how its work with Teach for America might play out, Matheson said.
The district may not have to pay the $4,000 fee that comes with using each Teach for America teacher, he said.
The program works by allowing Teach for America participants, who have degrees but not teaching certificates, to work in a school district,
while they are pursuing their certification at a university.
In this case, Teach for Amer-ica participants are enrolled in the University of Washington’s Accelerated Certification for Teachers program.
It is a state-approved, alternative-route certification program.
“State law says that if a teacher is not certified in a position, then the only thing a school district can do is put a teacher in with a degree for 19 days only,” said Matheson.
Because the Teach for America participants are working on their certification, they are allowed to stay for the whole year.
The district’s decision to use Teach for America participants has nothing to do with Teach for America being a great program, Matheson said.
It has to do with the district always having some hard-to-fill positions such as in Special Education, English Language Learners, math, science and other specific content areas.
According to Matheson, the district has at least one or two of these positions a year.
The Renton Education Association is working with the district also to see if there are current teachers to fill those positions, opening up those not-hard-to-fill positions, Matheson said.
Renton School Superintendent Mary Alice
Heuschel issued a statement in a district press release last week.
“I am committed to remaining diligent and working with all teacher preparation and all alternative routes and certification programs to demand they are graduating and certifying high-quality candidates to teach in our schools,” Heuschel said. “I serve on two university educa-tion advisory boards to contribute to the on-going efforts to improve education preparation programs.”
Although this is the first time the district has worked with Teach for America, currently there are several principals and more than two dozen teachers, mostly in career and technical educa-tion fields, who have alternative teaching certifi-cations similar to Teach for America.
A release states that the district’s plan now is to continue to work with the teachers union leadership, teachers and the community to get to an understanding about the UW Accelerated Certification for Teachers and its relationship with Teach for America.
The district will do this before presenting an agreement with UW Accelerated Certification for Teachers program and Teach for America to the school board.
According to the district, should it move ahead with the process, Teach for America staff would have to apply and interview like other applicants to be selected for a job.

Teachers are tasked with perhaps one of the toughest jobs around, educating today’s youth amid so many other distractions students face.
Consider this assignment: instruct a room-ful of seventh-grade students in the ways of descriptive writing.
Does that sound challenging?Teacher Aaron Allen of Shaw Middle School
in the Spokane School District met the chal-lenge.
He engaged his students by introducing Oreo cookies to the class and asking students to explain how they taste to someone who’s never had an Oreo cookie.
In this clever exercise caught on video he explains how he gets students to elaborate better, showing instead of telling what they experience.
This is one of the many taped examples of effective instruction modeled in a professional development toolkit for leadership teams and teachers called Success at the Core.
The toolkit, a website, is the product of a collaboration between Paul G. Allen’s Vulcan
Productions and the Educa-tional Development Center of Massachusetts.
“The goal of the program is to transform teacher’s instruc-tion so that student perfor-mance is better,” said Corrie Freiwaldt.
She is a Success at the Core Fellow and instructional fa-
cilitator for the Renton School District.Freiwaldt is one of 10 fellows selected from
around the state to spread the word about the program’s benefits.
She has used the toolkit in her position at Tiffany Park Elementary School to facilitate trainings for teachers.
The online toolkit contains instruction ideas for teacher and leadership development.
There are embedded videos of teachers in action, their tasks, student work from the les-sons, instructional plans and teacher commen-tary as well as links to other resources.
It is marketed as a best practices instruction guide.
“There’s so many ways to use this program that as a coach, I use it to help my teachers see
examples,” Freiwaldt said. “Then we relate it to their classrooms.”
She is most excited about the resource because it is free to all users, unlike a lot of professional development tools available to educators.
“It’s teachers’ strategies on how to keep stu-dents engaged and motivated,” Freiwaldt said. “And how to check that they’re understanding what you’re teaching.”
As a Success at the Core Fellow, Freiwaldt will continue to educate other teachers and staff in the district about the resource and she hopes to venture out to neighboring districts too.
She and the other fellows will lay out a work plan on June 26.
They also plan to maintain a blog on how the fellows each use the toolkit in their districts.
Freiwaldt also plans to present at different district, state and national conferences on behalf of Success at the Core.
Anyone can register for access to the Success at the Core toolkit.

IKEA RENTON RIVER DAYS PRESENTS :
Duck Hunt IIIA Case of Fowl Play
Itʼs time to round
up the usual duckspects!
Sherflock Holmesʼs friend Doctor Ducky has been ducknapped by a real bad egg!The fowl ducknapper left a ransom note – but not in one piece. Sherflock has found out that 30 duckspects in 30 different locations in Renton each have part of the ransom note to prove their alibi – in the form of a stamp. When you find a duck, you will stamp your Duck Hunt sheet by the name of the duck you found. Finding all the ducks will give you the ransom note – undoubtedly in the form of a final clue. Figure out what the ducknapper wants and bring the ransom to Sherflockʼs helpers at IKEA Renton River Days to save Doctor Ducky.

Even if you donʼt find all the duckspects, bring your Duck Hunt sheet to the booth. The more duckspects you find, the more chances you have to win prizes when you bring your form to the Duck Hunt booth during Renton River Days. (If you bring the ransom, you will get an even bigger chance to win.) Sherflock welcomes all help, so each member of a family
can have his or her own form.
Donʼt worry, the mysterious ducknapper likes to play games. He plans on giving clues to the suspects locations – a few at a time. So go to www.facebook.com/RentonRiverDays to find clues to where the duckspects are hiding. The ducknapper will keep giving out clues throughout the month leading up to Renton River Days. Also check out the Renton Reporter for information on the hunt.

Getting people up and working again in a down economy remains King County’s top priority.
Such was King County Executive Dow Constantine’s message to the Auburn-Area Chamber of Commerce Luncheon on Monday at Emerald Downs.
Now there is a bright spot, Constantine said, because things in the Seattle Metropolitan area, which includes Auburn, Kent and Renton, are starting to perk up.
Quoting numbers compiled by the National Bureau of Labor Statistics, Constantine said that the three-county metropolitan area in 2011 showed the ninth-highest job gains of the 100th largest metropolitan areas in the nation. Collectively, Dow said, the largest metropolitan areas in the nation added about one million jobs last year.
Constantine went on to cite a recent study of 366 metropolitan areas throughout the nation that gave the Seattle metropolitan area a third-place ranking as the strongest local economy based on sustained growth over the past 20 years.
The Puget Sound region, Constantine said, has led the revival, especially in the manufacturing sector.
Indeed, he said, over the past year this region has led the nation in manufacturing job creation, showing an increase of 7.3 percent, or 12,600 jobs.
Accounting for “fully half of that growth,” Constantine said, and led by the Boeing company, was the manufac-turing sector.
Constantine praised the work of the King County Aerospace Alliance, a broad-based partnership of local groups, for working to expand and prosper the aerospace industry in the Puget Sound Region.
County priority is get people to work

More than likely you know of at least one person who is graduating this month from eighth grade, high school or college. A con-gratulations to all of you as a new phase of a young life begins! Nothing could be more gratifying and exciting.
Not just for the grads, but also for the long list of people who are sharing in the pride of the day – parents, grandparents, rela-tives, friends, mentors, teachers and profes-
sors. If you look hard enough, you will see them standing invisibly behind the graduate resting their hands on their shoulders, as they receive their diploma, and feeling that same pride and sense of ac-complishment.
The graduate will probably think it was all their doing and it is their day. Indeed, no one would want to imply it isn’t. But the truth is, no one makes the journey alone. Even though each of their stories is different, they all relied on the wisdom, encouragement and support of others to see them through.
I always wanted to give a commencement address, so I thought I would use my column this month to address all graduates:
“You probably feel pretty confident you are ready to take on the next phase of your life, as you have learned much. But you have not lived long, so you don’t understand much. That comes next.
“Outside the classroom is where you meet life head on – where you put the theory, ba-sics and foundations you learned to the test.
“And the only way to pass that test is to study the meaning of one word that enters into all aspects of your life. That word is ‘respect’.
• Respect yourself – and demand respect from others.
• Respect others, especially the vulnerable
– they’re depending on you.• Respect your family and friends – they
are your anchor.• Respect your enemies – they strengthen
your courage.• Respect your body – it is your lifelong
friend.• Respect the Earth – it is your only home.• Respect animals and nature – they have
no one to speak for them.• Respect work – it provides dignity.• Respect money – earn it and share it.• Respect hard times – it builds character.• Respect good times – it heals the hard

The City Council, rightly so, agonized Monday night over whether to move forward with letting West Hill vote on annexing to Renton.
For four years, annexation has not been a slam-dunk financially and the recession has dulled the pencils of those trying to figure out how to make it work.
But the city has time to make West Hill work, based on the word “shall.” State law doesn’t set a deadline to make an annexation effective, but it shall happen someday.
So that gives the city time to sharpen its pencils, preserve what revenue sources it has locked up now, including an important sales-tax credit, and hope that the recession’s bite eases.
All that is a tall order. The council’s 4-3 vote Monday night was, as council President Rich Zwicker described it, a leap of faith.
Renton has an obligation to let West Hill decide its future; it’s one of the city’s potential annexation areas. It is, as council member Greg Taylor said, “indigenous” to the city. And West Hill residents spend money (including sales tax) in Renton without getting any service benefit in return.
But the City Council also has an obligation to its constituents to-day to not do anything without great thought that might diminish their services. Three council members, Don Persson, Randy Corman and Marcie Palmer, wanted to give this more thought.
It’s one of those issues voters should remember at election time.We’ve long spoken out about first letting West Hill vote on an-
nexation and then moving forward with the process to make that work financially and operationally.
Now that sounds more practical, with it clear the city isn’t under a deadline to make annexation effective.
We would encourage West Hill to approve annexation, which seems a very strong likelihood. And we would also suggest that the vote is just the first step. These are not flush times for govern-ment. If they were, West Hill would not need millions of dollars in public improvements.
It’s asking too much of Renton residents to pick up that tab. So be patient, West Hill, as you have been for four years. It’s obvious through the efforts of such groups as Skyway Solutions and the West Hill Business Association that West Hill is already tending to its neighborhoods and its public spaces. That’s going to have to continue if annexation is to succeed.

The following incidents were compiled based on City of Renton police reports.By TRACEy COMPTON
Two men were robbed at gunpoint in Renton on June 1 after answering a Craigslist.com ad.
The 27-year-old man told police he went to an address on Maple Avenue Southwest to purchase an iPad and was robbed of $1,200, his cell phone and vehicle keys.
The incident happened at about 6:40 p.m.The man told police as soon as he reached the address,
two men approached the vehicle with semi-automatic firearms.
One of them demanded everything out of the Tacoma man’s and his brother-in-law’s pockets.
Police believe there is reason to arrest the suspects for first-degree robbery.
Car broken into at dealershipA Renton man’s car was broken into while at a dealership
for service on June 13, but the dealership picked up the cost.
The 38-year-old man took his vehicle to Renton Walkers Mazda, 200 S. Grady Way S., for service.
Sometime during the night the car’s stereo and speakers were stolen.
The man told police in his report that the dealership staff called to tell him about the incident at 11:45 a.m.
But, apparently they told the man not to worry because the dealership was going to pay for the damages.
Business taggedA Renton business was tagged with spray paint on
June 11.A Renton man reported that a work vehicle and building
belonging to Renton Coil and Spring Co., at 425 S. Seventh
St., had spray paint on them.
Two suspects were seen on a video of the area at about 2 a.m.
Police discovered tagging on the bay door to the busi-
ness, a business vehicle, and a power box.Police collected evidence from the incident and a copy of
the surveillance tape.
Imposter steals from McLendonSomeone impersonated a former employee of a business
to steal merchandise from hardware stores on May 14.The incident took place at the Renton and Kent McLen-
don Hardware but was reported on June 12 when a store manager discovered they had been robbed.
A man claiming to be an employee of a local funeral home came into the hardware store in Renton at 12:18 on May 14 and purchased items.
He then returned and made two more purchases with a different employee with the same account at about 4 p.m.
Earlier that day, the man apparently went to the Kent store and made purchases at 1:29 p.m. and 1:31 p.m.
His purchases totaled $2,041.57 and each time he gave someone else’s name from a business account with the store.
A McLendon employee contacted the funeral home to verify the man was who he stated.
The funeral director said the name given was of a former employee, but that employee moved to North Carolina.
After reviewing a video of the purchases, the funeral di-rector said he was 90 percent sure that the person making the purchases was not his former employee.
Man stabbed downtownA Renton man was stabbed while walking downtown in
the city on June 2.
The man was walking in the area of 200 Wells Avenue S. at about 10 p.m., when he encountered a group of men standing on the sidewalk.
The 53-year-old man told them, “Excuse me,” and tried to pass.
One of the males exchanged angry words with the man.Then a different man in the group stabbed him and the
group of four or five males got in a tan newer-model Lexus.The 53-year-old describes the suspect as a black male in
his 20s, with a bald head, about 5-foot-10 and 175 to 180 pounds.
The suspect was wearing dark clothing at the time.Police took the man’s report at Valley Medical Center,
where he was treated the next day.
Woman harassed by ex-roommateA Renton woman reported harassment from a former
roommate on May 1.The two 22-year-olds were roommates for about a year
in Issaquah, until they recently had a falling out.Since they separated, the reporting party has received
several harassing messages from her former roommate stating that she will have her arrested.
Police could not reach the woman that is apparently do-ing the harassing, but left her a message.

A convicted felon who trafficked in multiple high-pow-ered firearms in the Renton area has pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Seattle to conspiracy to unlawfully deal in firearms and being a felon in possession of a firearm, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Joshua Dawson, 20, is one of six Seattle-area men indicted in April 2012 following a firearms trafficking investigation. The men sold guns to a person working with law enforcement in the Renton area. Under the terms of the plea agreement, both sides will recommend a prison sentence between five and eight years in prison.
U.S. District Judge Richard A. Jones can impose any sentence up to 10 years at sentencing on Sept. 28.
In the plea agreement, Dawson admitted that when officers went to arrest him on April 17 on Northeast Third
Street and Sunset Boulevard in Renton, he fled in his car, crashing into other vehicles.
When he was taken into custody, officers found a loaded Kel-Tec model PF-9, 9mm pistol, in the glove compart-ment of his car.
Dawson was indicted following an undercover investiga-tion involving the Seattle Police Department Gang Unit, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (ATF).
In his plea agreement, Dawson admitted to selling eight guns between January and March: a Smith and Wesson .38 caliber revolver; a Mac 11 9mm pistol; an SKS 7.62 assault rifle; a Romarm/Cugir, 7.62 x 39mm caliber rifle; a DPMS, 223/5.56mm caliber rifle; an Olympic Arms, multi rifle with a silencer; a Weatherby, 7mm caliber rifle; and a
Maadi, 7.62 x 39mm caliber rifle.In all in this operation, 25 guns were taken off the street,
many of which were previously reported stolen, according to the federal press release.
Five others are being prosecuted as part of the case: Andre M. Conerly, 25, James L. Henderson, 22, Daunte R. Williams, 29, Alexander J. Olivio-Altheimer, 21, all of Seattle, and Djuan O. Gardner, 28, of Federal Way.
Four of the defendants, including Dawson, are charged with being a felon in possession of firearms. Dawson has prior convictions for robbery and theft.
The case was jointly investigated by the FBI, the Seattle Police Department Gang Unit, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (ATF).

A Seattle man convicted of murder and his wife pleaded not guilty Mon-day to charges of second-degree assault involving an attack on an off-duty Renton police officer June 1.
Tony Lee Combs, 33, re-mains in the King County Jail in Kent on $175,000 bail. Nancy Walton Dra-hold, 31, was released on her personal recognizance after Monday’s arraign-ment at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent.
Their next court appear-ance is July 2.
They were charged in the assault of 37-year-old police officer, Randy Jensen, a 10-year veteran of the Renton force, who was trying to defuse a road-rage incident at the interchange of State Route 167 and Interstate 405 at about 1:30 p.m.
Jensen, northbound in his private vehicle on SR 167, witnessed a dispute after a white Mercedes merging onto SR 167 al-most hit a Toyota Corolla on the road, according to charging documents.
The Mercedes, driven by Combs, stopped, block-ing all traffic turning east onto Grady Way, including the Toyota. Combs and Drahold got out of their car and walked toward the Toyota. At the same time, Jensen got out of his car, displayed his badge and identified himself as a police officer.
According to charging documents, Jensen was assaulted by Combs and Drahold.
Jensen suffered facial lacerations, sore ribs and multiple contusions; he was treated at Valley Medi-cal Center and released.

learned the city does not have a deadline to actually implement the annexation if it’s approved, giving it time to identify new revenue sources and hopefully see an increase in revenue from sales and property taxes hit hard by the recession.
That helped ease “a bit” some of the concerns Mayor Denis Law has expressed that paying for services on West Hill could mean a lower level of services for residents elsewhere in the city.
How much time the city has to annex West Hill isn’t spelled out, but Law said there is no tool that could force the city to annex before it’s ready.
The city has spent the last two years trying to figure out how to pay for services
to West Hill, using city, county, state and federal sources.
Under the current analysis, the city would fall about $1.3 million short of what’s necessary to provide daily services in 2013. That shortfall could increase to $4.5 million in 2023 because of the expiration of the sales-tax credit.
There are also $4.5 million in one-time transition costs for such purchases as ve-hicles and equipment. Capital projects for parks, surface water and streets add about $4.5 million a year.
The City of Renton is facing its own revenue shortfalls, too.
Council members talked about phasing in some city services after the annexation is effective, such as park and street main-tenance. However, police services would
begin immediately.Council members also received clarifica-
tion that the vote by West Hill residents is final and the council does not have the authority at that point to reject annexa-tion. The council could have stopped the annexation process by not placing the issue on the ballot or on Monday, when it could have removed the measure from the ballot.
The council had to act by the end of June to remove the annexation measure from this year’s general election ballot.
The council originally voted 5-2 in Au-gust 2010 to put the annexation measure on the Feb. 14, 2012, ballot, but last December postponed that vote to Nov. 6 because of the financial concerns.
Voting Monday night to in essence move forward with the election were council
members Rich Zwicker, Terri Briere, Ed Prince and Greg Taylor.
Voting to delay the vote were council members Don Persson, Marcie Palmer and Randy Corman.
Zwicker, the council president, said the council is taking “a leap of faith,” but the city now has the time to find the money to make annexation pencil out financially.
Persson and Palmer were the two council members who in August 2010 voted against placing the annexation measure on the ballot. They continue to express strong res-ervations about the impact the annexation will have on services to current residents.
Corman voted in August 2010 to place the measure on the ballot. But he said Monday night he’s “a lot more nervous” about how to finance West Hill services.

experience.It’s precise work and noisy. Most every-
one wore earplugs and safety glasses. Boe-ing has donated thousands of dollars work of tools to the program.
Gregoire was intense, listening closely to directions from Blinder and following Bourgeois’s lead.
She drilled a pilot hole.“What took me so long,” she asked.Bourgeois told her the material was
thicker.RTC President Steve Hanson took tool in
hand, too, to get a feel for the job.Gregoire took a few minutes to visit with
the students.Blinder told Gregoire that the skills the
students are learning at RTC put them at the front of the line for a job interview. Job placement continues to increase, he told her.
At the end of her stay in the class, Blinder presented her with a certificate. Gregoire laughed; she got a O for class credit.
Outside the classroom, Gregoire said she was a little nervous about working with the tools.
“That’s not my thing,” she said. “I push papers.”
She “loved” the work, calling it exciting and hard.
“No one should go in there believing it’s easy,” she said, pointing out the work is precise.
Is it a job for women?“I did it,” she said, calling out the iconic
Rosie the Riveter who helped build air-planes at the Boeing plant in Renton during World War II.
A poster of Rosie hangs over the class-room.

By ROBERT WHALE
For 27 years the remains, the 16th set tied to Green River Killer Gary Ridgway, were known to the King County Sheriff 's Office as "Bones 16."
But on Monday King County Sheriff 's Cold Case Detec-tives announced they had positively identified the bones as those of 20-year-old Sandra Denise Major.
Ridgway worked as a painter at the Kenworth truck plant in Renton for decades.
The remains were found near Mountainview Cemetery in Auburn on Dec. 30, 1985 near those of murder victim Kimi Pitsor and another unidentified Green River victim.
DNA samples obtained from family members led to the identification.
The Major family thanked authorities for their work in a statement: "We would like to thank the detectives from the King County Sheriff ’s Office who diligently worked this case. We are grateful to finally know what happened to Sandra after all these years."
A friend had reported Major missing after seeing her get into a truck on Aurora Avenue North on Dec. 24, 1982.
In late April 2012 the victim's cousin, who lives in Rochester, N.Y., contacted the Sheriff 's Office after watch-ing a made-for-television movie about the Green River murders. Family members suspected that a missing family member may have been one of Ridgway's victims.
The Rochester Police Missing Persons Unit helped by obtaining DNA samples from family members.
The University of North Texas, Center for Human Iden-
tification agreed to speed up work on the family reference samples and provided scientific evidence that resulted in the King County Medical Examiner's Office positive identification.
Bode Technology performed DNA work on the remains in 2011 and 2012 and obtained the DNA profiles of the unidentified remains that allowed the identification.
Detectives said that family members' willingness to come forward and advances in technology were key to the identification.

for clients.Just last year, ARISE
served 121 homeless men and placed 32 of them in housing outside of the shelter.
The program was started by the Renton Ecumenical Association of Churches or REACH but is currently a program of Catholic Com-munity Services.
ARISE provides up to six months of emergency nighttime shelter, food and case management for homeless men in Renton.
The goal of the program is to move the men from the streets to permanent housing.
Different Renton-area churches volunteer to host the shelter as it rotates among them, with the men staying there for a month at a time.
It is hard to track the men who go through the program, so founder Bob Bliesner estimates they have a placement rate of about 26 percent, based on their 2011 results.
“In fact we didn’t have this success rate of placing people in the early years, when we first started,” said Bliesner. “CCS (Catholic Community Services) has beefed up the case-man-agement support and that’s what’s made the difference on that. We’re able to get these men the services they

require, plus there’s more housing available today thanks to the 10-year plan.”
He was referring to a countywide effort to end homelessness in 10 years.
REACH members decided to let CCS take over the program complete-ly three years ago, although REACH still provides the volunteer support.
Mayor Denis Law thinks the ARISE program is “outstanding” and that Renton could stand to have more programs like it.
Law attended the June 5 celebra-tion.
He remarked on how 73 people were counted in this year’s One Night Count of the Homeless in Renton, which he said was just scratching the surface.
The city is seeing a lot of families and people living in cars and people who’ve lost homes to foreclosure, Law said.
“People who have been secure and had all of those things at one point in time find themselves with nothing,” he said. “It’s hard for us to fathom that; they’re all around us. It’s kind of heart warming when you see a community come together and try to meet some of those needs. That’s what’s great about Renton. People really step up.”
Pat Wyre is one of those people who have stepped up as a volunteer from Nativity Lutheran Church.
She calls her volunteer work with the ARISE program her passion.
“It’s because we get to feed the men and see them and talk with them,” Wyre said. “It’s just been my passion since I’ve been (at the church).”
Bliesner calls the ARISE program a passion program.
“We find that almost every church that we’ve got has an emotional leader that is interested in helping out the homeless,” he said.
In 2011 some 2,000 volunteers in the program provided 7,686 bed-nights for homeless men.
Volunteers also contributed more than 7,200 hours while serving slightly more than 8,000 hot meals, according to Bliesner.
“Our goal is to go out of business,” he said. “We’d like to not have enough people on the street to support our program. That’s where we’re headed we hope.”

One Night Count of 73 homeless just scratching the surface
A women’s shelter is in the works for Renton. The City of Renton, Renton Ecumenical As-sociation of Churches and a group of volunteers have been coordinating their efforts to see this endeavor take shape.“We don’t have a lot of details yet, but we know that there are a lot of women with children who are sleeping in cars and who are homeless throughout the community,” said Mayor Denis Law. “We’re trying to figure out if we can find a site and coordinate a program with Catholic Community Services where we can provide housing similar to the ARISE program.”Rev. Linda Smith of REACH and SKY Center is the lead coordinator on the project. She saw a need for a women’s shelter based on her communication with the city’s human ser-vices staff and the many inquiries and calls she encountered for housing.
“The number of women and children who are homeless are increasing at an alarming rate,” wrote Smith in an email. “There is no place for our most vulnerable, women and children during the day to find a hot meal, wash their clothes or make the necessary calls to even find housing.”According Preeti Shridhar, communications director for the city, there are two projects in the works: a day shelter and an overnight shelter in churches. The former jail at City Hall has been identified as a possible site of one shelter. It would have to be made to not feel like a jail and be compatible with space that is also being used for evidence storage, Law said.The former jail might be suitable because it is safe, clean, it has a kitchen and showers and some areas could be converted into kids’s play areas, Law said.

More children are alive and well in King County today because of a dramatic drop in injury deaths such as traffic crashes, drowning, falls and burns, according to King County.
From 2000 to 2009, the rate of death from injuries for children 19 and younger declined by 62 percent. The reduction reflects a decade of innovative public health research, policies, law enforcement, and education of parents.
“There is nothing more valuable than saving a child’s life,” said King County Executive Dow Constantine. “Thanks to safety programs and safer practices, we’ve taken a tremendous step forward in making King County a healthier place to live.”
In King County, 22 children died from injuries in 2009, down from 55 in 2000. Public Health – Seattle & King County esti-mates that 193 children are alive today who wouldn’t be if injury death rates hadn’t declined.
The improvements in King County surpassed a national trend of fewer child injury deaths. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently reported that child deaths from injuries declined 29 percent from 2000 to 2009.
In King County, traffic-related child deaths declined from 35 in 2000 to 11 in 2009.
“Safer cars play a huge role in reducing the number of traffic-related deaths,” said Dr. David Fleming, Director & Health Officer for Public Health.
The number of children who drowned in King County also has been steadily declining; five chil-dren drowned in 2000 and only one in 2009.
Despite efforts to make our community safer for all children, injuries remain a leading cause of death locally and nationally, and new challenges persist. Ac-cidental poisonings, includ-ing teenagers overdosing prescription drugs, are a growing concern.
King County sees drop in child deaths due to injuries

Read on for some of the best moments of the past year in prep sports.
FallThe Lindbergh boys cross-country team maintained
an amazing run of success and won the 2A state title. The Eagles haven't lost a league meet since 2006 and have placed in the top eight at state every year since 2004.
Luke Garcia, Mark Garcia and Travis Downen led the way, finishing within nine seconds of each other in 18th, 19th and 21st. Nathan Haley, Mohamud Abdi, Ben Platt and Omelyan Strembitskyy rounded out the title-winning group.
The Lindbergh girls team placed sixth at state for the third straight year. Senior Sarah Reiter ended her excel-lent cross-country career with a sixth-place overall finish. Reiter won the 2A state title as a junior, and placed 14th at the 3A state meet as a sophomore.
Led by a senior trio of Whitney Hilde, Jordyn McLuen and Kimi Girmus, the Lindbergh soccer team won a first-ever outright Seamount title. The season was highlighted by a 2-1 win against Kennedy Catholic. None of the Eagles' seniors could remember even scoring against Kennedy, let alone beating the Lancers.
Liberty finished undefeated in KingCo play for the sec-ond straight year. The Patriots featured a number of stars, including Cassidy Nangle and Kimi Fry, and made it all the way to the 3A state title game before falling to Seattle Prep.
Hazen finished the year undefeated in Seamount play and took the league's top 3A seed into the playoffs, even
while dealing with difficult circumstances. The team lost Hazen custodian and long-time superfan Joe Dahl and Lora Michaud, long-time supporter and mother of a cur-rent Hazen player, during the season.
At the 3A swim and dive meet, Liberty took seventh and Hazen eighth. Liberty freshman Mackenna Briggs won a state title in the 100 back, while sophomore Talisa Wibmer had the fastest overall time in the event and finished ninth. Briggs became the first Liberty freshman to ever qualify for every event earlier in the season.
Transfer running back Anthony Gold got the Renton football team off to a quick start. Gold's playmaking ability confounded the rest of the Seamount and he finished the year as the league's Athlete of the Year and Offensive Back of the Year.
Behind a powerful rushing attack, Hazen made state for the first time since 1993 before falling against a tough Capital team. Tray Brown, the team's lead rusher, scored seven touchdowns in a single game against Highline early in the season.
Lindbergh ran into tough luck in the state playoffs when a matchup at Lakewood on a grass field and a rain storm coincided. That left for muddy, slow conditions that neu-tralized the Eagles' offensive stars.
WinterRenton senior Steve Sholdra won two titles at the 2A
state swim and dive meet. He broke his own 500 free state record in both the preliminary round and finals. He also earned automatic All-American status. He also won in the 200 free, setting a new state record in prelims, then break-ing it in the finals. He earned All-American consideration in the event.

Outstanding senior Jimmy Keum led the Lindbergh basketball team to fifth place at the 2A state basketball tournament. It was the team's first state appearance since 1991. Keum finished second in the Seamount in scoring at 19.3 points per game despite facing near-constant double teams from defenses.
The Lindbergh boys swim and dive team placed seventh at the 2A state meet. Andrew Franco-Munoz took second in the 100 fly, while Aaron Jacobsen finished fourth in the same event.
Seniors Airashay Rogers and Em-ily Graver wrapped up their basketball careers. Graver was the Seamount's MVP, while Rogers averaged 20.8 points, 10.1 re-bounds, 6.7 steals and 4.9 assists per game.
Meanwhile, the Renton girls basketball went undefeated in league play, won its first league title since 1987 and made state for the first time since 1987. The Indians de-fense harassed opposing teams into errors all season long.
The Lindbergh gymnastics team finished as Seamount co-champions and sent Jenna Louie and Makia Williams to the 2A state meet.
Liberty's Hamilton Noel placed sixth at the 3A state wrestling meet at 160 pounds.

Several other local track and field ath-letes excelled at state, like Hiron Redman and Adriel Paine IV in the 800, Travis Downen in the 3,200, Sarah Reiter in the 3,200, Tala Hild in the high jump, plus Janayla Scott in the triple jump.
Undaunted by an extremely tough sched-ule and several key injuries, the Liberty softball team returned to state after a three-year absence.
The Hazen boys soccer team made state for the first time since 2007 and won a Seamount title.
Jimmy Schmidt pitched a one-hit shutout against Enumclaw to get the Hazen baseball team to state for the first time since 2008. Schmidt, along with Zac and Jake Kolter-man gave the Highlanders a pitching trio few teams could match.

Dear Customer,
Republic Services (Allied Waste) recently negotiated a 5-year agreement with the Teamsters Local 117 that best serves our employees, our company and, most importantly, our customers. We approached these negotiations with the intentions of taking good care of our team and providing reliable service to our communities. On June 2, our union employees overwhelmingly approved our agreement.
You may have seen media coverage about a possible disruption in the collection of recyclables and waste. To be clear, this is due to negotiations between one of our competitors and Teamsters Local 117 and there is no reason to believe Republic’s customers will be impacted by this situation.
Republic is proud to have reached a mutually benefi cial agreement with Teamsters Local 117, one that ensures continued excellent service to all of our customers in Washington. We are pleased with the outcome of our recent negotiations and feel the process was respectful and collaborative, a true testament to the strength of our relationship.
We value our community partnerships and look forward to providing your recycle and waste solutions in the years ahead.
Regards,
Mike HuyckeNW Area PresidentRepublic Services
