Homeless man pleads not guilty in Skyway rape

New principal helps Lakeridge Elementary make big turnaroundBY TRACEY COMPTON

[email protected]

Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn announced that Renton school Lakeridge Elementary has dramatically improved student test scores in math and reading, taking the school off a list of the state’s chronically lowest performing.

The announcement was made March 11 dur-ing a surprise visit to the school by Dorn. He gave an update of school districts in the state known as Required Action Districts, or those that received money and assistance to help schools improve.

Lakeridge in Skyway was identified in 2011, based on a three-year trend in the previous years of low performance, with the School Improvement Grant (SIG) Designation. At that time, the school was among the lowest 5 percent for performance of state schools.

RTC named to top 10Renton Technical College this week was

named a finalist for the Aspen Prize and recognized as one of the top 10 commu-nity colleges in the nation.

RTC received the nod for its graduation/transfer rate of 66 percent, well above the national average of 40 percent, a 66 percent retention rate (national average is 44 percent) and because one in four stu-dents taking Adult Basic Education classes transitions to college-level courses.

According to a press release, the school also serves an “unusually large contingent of non-traditional students,” including those older than 25 and was praised for expanding job opportunity programs and a highly diverse student population.

This year’s Aspen Prize recognizing the top community college in the nation went to Florida’s Santa Fe College.

With time running out, Renton resident Emmett Smith and his wife Es-ther knew they had to get creative in their search to replace one of Emmett’s kidneys and they found their answer in a self-fund-ed, call-to-action bus ad campaign.

Two years ago, Smith found himself in a dire situ-ation. He had been feeling really sick for about six months and when he finally wound up in the hospital, he was given emergency dialysis and diagnosed with IgA nephropathy, a chronic kidney disease.

“And then after about a two-week stay in the hospital, they basically told me that my kidneys weren’t functioning at all and that I was going to need a kidney transplant,” said the 27-year-old.

For the past two years, Smith has been on dialysis three times a week, waiting for a kidney. It’s a wait that could take up to five years because that’s the wait list time for a new kidney.

Smith and his wife Esther called upon friends and family and used social media to find potential donors, but haven’t had any luck. Then Esther got some encouragement and inspiration from a North-west Kidney Center class. The class urged patients and their families to be creative and not to be ashamed of asking the public for a kidney.

“I was trying to find a way to reach the most amount of people and I was trying to be creative in doing that and a bus ad just popped into my mind,” said Esther.

So she called up Metro

and was eventually put in touch with advertising firm Titan Seattle. The request was a first for the company, but it was not out of line with its corporate ethics policies, a release said. With the help of an anonymous donor, the Smiths were able to purchase bus ads for five buses and Titan Cares, the charitable arm of Titan Se-attle, donated 15 additional buses with ads.

Soon, the “My-daddy-needs-a-kidney”-campaign emerged, with 9-month-old daughter Arianna, pictured in Smith’s arms.

“Emmett’s campaign was especially moving for us, so we wanted to amplify the voice of the family and

encourage the Seattle com-munity to step up to help,” said Pamela Quadros, vice president and general man-ager of Titan Seattle.

The bus ads are now run-ning throughout Seattle and the Eastside.

“Ever since we started the bus ad campaign, there have been a lot of news sto-ries that have been popping up out of that,” said Emmett Smith.

The Smiths have received attention to Emmett’s need from local and national television stations and a local radio show. The publicity has generated lots of contacts seeking more information about how to donate.

“For all that, so far we’ve just had email on top of email and Esther’s trying to respond to all these people,” said Smith. “It’s almost hard for her to respond as quickly as they’re coming in.”

Not only have they received interest from those who would like to donate, but they’ve also received words of encouragement from others who’ve been through similar ordeals. Esther Smith calls the out-pouring of support “touch-ing” and Emmett said he feels, “really good” about the effort.

“I mean, just the fact that people want to help still, it restores your faith in humanity, you know,” he said. “There’s a lot of good people out there, so it makes you feel really good.”

The advertisement features the Smiths’ website address, Donate4Emmett.org as well as an informa-tional hotline phone num-ber for people interested in testing for donation.

The UW Medicine’s Transplant Services oper-ates the service that screens potential donors for a variety of health factors, in-cluding blood type match. Smith is type “O” blood type, which is also the lon-gest wait time for a cadaver kidney transplant.

But, according to Northwest Kidney Centers, where he goes for dialysis, the greater Seattle area is a good place for people need-

ing kidney transplants.“In 2014, Northwest Kid-

ney Centers saw a 14 per-cent increase in the number of its patients receiving kidney transplants, while the number of transplants nationwide decreased by 16 percent,” reports Linda Sellers, spokesperson for the center.

She said it is hard to speculate why, but cited three “excellent” transplant centers in the area, the volume of clients the center handles and the fact that Northwest Kidney Centers actively promotes trans-plants for their patients and then aides them with get-ting on wait lists as reasons for the high percentage.

The evaluation to see if donors are a potential match could take up to several months.The Smiths don’t know if anyone is in the testing process for the donation and won’t know if they have a donor until the surgery is scheduled. The donor and the recipient are kept completely separate.

“This isn’t just a fight for me, there’s 80,000 other people out there waiting for a kidney,” said Emmett. “If you know one of them or someone else out there knows a person, who needs an organ donated and they have the power to donate that organ, they should do it.”

If interested in donating, call 206-598-3627 for more information.

HAZEN STUDENT NAMED NATIONAL

MERIT SCHOLAR Hazen High School senior Tudi Le has been named a National Merit Scholar, representing less than 1

percent of U.S. high school seniors, with one of the

highest scores in the nation on the annual Preliminary

SAT National Merit Qualifying Test (PSAT).

Le took the test in her junior year and was selected

based on her academic records, test scores, written recommendations, essays,

participation in activities and leadership roles at Hazen

and in her community. The status could potentially net

Le thousands of dollars in scholarships and selection

for additional corporate- or college-sponsored merit

awards. After graduation, she plans to attend Stanford

University, in California, and eventually go to their

medical school in the hopes of becoming a surgeon.

The city’s hearing examiner has already issued his final decision on the Reserve at Tiffany Park, concluding that the planned 96-lot subdivision will not have any adverse impacts to wetlands in the area, but a group of concerned residents plan to take their case to Renton City Council on appeal.

City of Renton Hearing Examiner Phil Olbrechts received two requests for reconsid-eration from the developer, Henley USA, LLC, and from the Tiffany Park Woods Advocacy Group (TPWAG) in January. Olbrechts has updated his final decision, issued Jan. 8, with no significant changes.

The hearing examiner still finds that even though the Tiffany Park community has enjoyed recreational use of the undeveloped wooded property, the fact that they will no longer have that access due to the planned development does not justify the imposition of any State Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) requirements.

The hearing examiner went on to state that the developer does not have to offer the same type of arboreal view just because the Tiffany Park neighbors chose to retain the trees on the land previously.

“For this reason, there is no legal basis for imposing any further environmental review or

mitigation to address aesthetic impacts,” said Olbrechts in his decision.

The only exception to his decision was the width of the retaining walls in the proposed development. Henley proposed retaining walls that would reach heights of up to 21 feet. How-ever, Olbrechts notes that retaining walls of this height are not present in the area nor are they similar to the aesthetics of neighboring properties. Therefore, the Mitigated Determi-nation of Non-significance (MDNS) mitigation measures will require a 10-foot-wide perimeter landscaping to buffer the walls, he wrote in his decision.

TPWAG also alleged that there could be hazardous waste on the property as the U.S. Department of Defense once owned the land. It was noted that the applicant, Henley, did a

Phase I hazardous waste environmental review of the property when it was purchased, but Henley never offered the review into evidence.

Because of this, the hearing examiner is re-quiring that the Phase I review be submitted to staff prior to development, “to verify that there is no hazardous waste issue with the site.”

Henley’s SEPA appeal was limited and only challenged three of the City of Renton’s MDNS conditions. Henley agreed to revised language for two of the conditions and the only contest-ed issue was the required landscaping buffer.

The city required a 15-foot buffer around the entire property perimeter, but the decision found that only a 10-foot buffer is necessary, “limited to areas adjoining proposed retaining walls to conceal the walls from neighboring view.”

Renate Beedon, of TPWAG, said that the group is not satisfied with the hearing exam-iner’s decisions.

“TPWAG will appeal to the Renton City Council,” said she in an email.

If the group appeals, no new evidence or testimony will be accepted by the council and the burden of proof will rest on TPWAG. If the council determines that a substantial error in fact or law exists in the record, council may modify or reverse the decision of the hearing examiner accordingly.

Whether the council approves, modifies or rejects the hearing examiner’s decision, the council’s action is the final decision in the case.

home-invasion robbery, according to documents. He was convicted in 2004 of assaulting two boys, ages 9 and 13, in a bathroom.

Canadian officials decided not to extradite Stanley from Washington state.

If convicted, Stanley, classified as a Level 3 sex offender in Washington, faces a minimum prison term of 15 to 20 years and possibly life in prison.

The 69-year-old victim was familiar with Stanley because he did yard work for her last summer. He showed up at her home on South 115th Street at about 10 p.m. Fri-day, Sept. 27, to ask her whether she had more work for him, according to charging documents.

She allowed him to use her bathroom. He left the house but later returned.

They fought in the bathroom. He covered her face and mouth with her hand, interfering with her breathing.

According to charging documents, she decided it was better to be raped than killed.

Squealing Brakes…Q. My car has recently started making a squeal noise while driving that actually goes away when I apply the brakes. What could be wrong?

A. Most likely your brake pads are worn su� ciently enough to allow their “wear indicators” or “sensor” to touch the disc brake rotor. When this occurs the “sensor” emits that high pitch noise designed to warn you that your brakes need immediate attention. Have them checked promptly by a certi� ed brake system specialist and have the brakes serviced before expensive damage or loss of brakes occurs. Stop by East Hill Auto Service and get a courtesy inspection today. 1229478

A 42-year-old man charged with raping a north Renton barista on Feb. 17 was returned from Idaho Tuesday and booked into the King County Jail in Kent.

Shad Alan Johnson was charged Feb. 23 with first-degree rape, domestic violence and second-degree assault, domes-tic violence.

He’s being held on $300,000 bail. An arraignment date hasn’t yet been set.

Johnson, a felon, surrendered March 7 to police in north-ern Idaho, where he had fled and once lived.

The victim was confronted by Johnson as she opened the espresso stand on Park Avenue North at about 4:30 a.m. Feb. 17. During the confrontation, Johnson allegedly forced his way inside the stand, and sexually assaulted the victim, according to charging documents.

“This was a vicious rape, burglary and assault, caught en-tirely on video,” prosecutors write in charging documents.”

The victim was strangled twice and was prevented from pressing the panic button at the stand.

Johnson was sentenced to five years in prison in 2011 on a federal conviction of intending to sell crystal metham-phetamine. He was still on parole.

Arts Unlimited of Renton is calling all quick draw artists to its “Sketchy Artists Wanted” event.

The evening of live sketch sessions is 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., March 29, at Delancey’s on Third, 810 S. Third St., Renton.

The organization wanted to do a new take on the nude or partially clothed live sketch session idea and came up with this Western-themed event.

“Arts Unlimited wanted to create a differ-ent type of sketch event that could be fun for all ages,” said Paul Hebron, Arts Unlimited president, in an email. “We came up with the idea to use actors in costume.”

For their first event, the organization has partnered with the 425 Theatre Project to present the three actors and sketch subjects,

all dressed in Western attire. Attendees are invited to come with their own sketch ma-terials to draw the improv actors, who will perform skits representing that genre.

Delancey’s on Third will provide the food and drinks for purchase. Daniel Smith Artists Materials will provide prizes for participants.

Arts Unlimited received grants from 4 Culture and the City of Renton Municipal Arts Commission for the event and organiz-ers plan to throw similar quick-sketch events with different themes in the future.

“Imagine the fun with live sketch events themed with actors in costumes perform-ing and representing these genres Western, Steampunk, SciFi, and Murder Mystery, etc.,” said Hebron. “We’re all super excited to make this happen.”

Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for students with identification.

Page 6: Renton Reporter, March 20, 2015

March 20, 2015[6] www.rentonreporter.com

In the next six weeks, we will learn whether our Washington State Legislature chooses to act — or dissolves into inaction — on the growing traffic congestion and gridlock that is paralyzing our highways and freeways and jeopardizing our state’s economy and our quality of life. We are urging action.

One senator who spoke on the Senate floor a couple of weeks ago translated the transporta-tion issue into terms we can easily relate to here in Renton: “Traffic sucks.”

That’s no revelation to any of us who attempt to navigate the virtual parking lot of 405 in the mornings, or evenings, or just about any time of the day. What’s most sobering is that in its 2014 “Congestion Report,” the Washington State De-partment of Transportation

released data showing us that the gridlock and brake-tapping we’ve been stewing in for years has gotten significantly worse.

In 2011, if you wanted to ensure your 13-mile, I-405 trip from Tukwila through Renton and into Bellevue was “reliably” on time, you needed to give yourself 40 minutes. If that sounds far too long, brace yourself: that same “reliable” trip measurement in 2014 was 50 minutes.

What’s worse, the same report indicated that because of congestion there is a 58 percent reduction in the flow of traffic on 405 through Renton, and these congestion points and delays could extend up to 12.5 miles. That’s a frustrat-ing mix of lost productivity, lost family time,

increased air pollution and increased stress.It is time for all of us to rise up and say,

“Enough!” While we can’t wave a magic wand and make traffic go away, we can and must invest in transportation infrastructure that enhances mobility and safety, protects our economy and our job base, and preserves the quality of life we cherish.

In Olympia, the Washington State Senate has approved a 2015 transportation revenue-and-reform package that makes some critical down-payments on the worst of our transportation problems here in Renton and throughout King County and the State of Washington.

The Senate’s package would invest $1.24 bil-lion to allow the WSDOT to rebuild the state’s most congested interchange (Interstate 405/State Route 167) and to add a lane each direc-tion to the state’s most congested freeway seg-ment (405 between Renton and Bellevue).

The Senate’s package also provides direct funding, grant funding, and local financing options for cities and counties to attack the mobility and maintenance backlogs on our local roadways.

There’s still a long way to go to make this 2015 transportation package a reality. The House of Representatives needs to consider the pack-age and put its own stamp on it, and while we believe the Senate’s work represents a great start, we still want to ensure that the 405 investments, in the final package, are as front-loaded as pos-sible to enable us to “finish the worst first.”

But at this point, we can’t afford any more delay — we already get plenty of that on our

March is National Kidney Month, a time to think about two amazing organs that could fit into the palm of each hand.

Kidneys keep our bodies in balance. They constantly filter wastes from our blood, remove excess fluid via urine, and produce hormones that keep hearts healthy, bones strong and blood full of oxygen-carrying red cells.

More than 10 percent of American adults have chronic kidney disease, and many of them would be surprised to know it. That’s because kidney disease usually does damage without symptoms until the consequences become severe and impossible to reverse.

But knowledge is power. Finding out early that you have kidney disease means that you can change your lifestyle and get medications that will slow or stop the damage.

Talk with your doctor and get tested if you are at risk. That would be true if: you have diabetes or high blood pressure, the leading causes of kidney disease; you have a relative with kidney disease; you are overweight; you’re over age 60; you are of African, Asian, Pacific Islander, Na-tive American or Hispanic

descent.The tests are simple and inexpensive: a blood

test, urinalysis and blood pressure measure-ment.

Here are some ways to be kind to your kid-neys and keep them healthy:

1. If you are at risk for kidney disease, talk with your doctor and get tested.

2. Monitor your blood pressure. If it’s higher than 140/90, talk with your doctor about how to treat it.

3. Watch your blood sugar. About half of diabetes patients end up with kidney disease. Also manage your cholesterol.

4. Improve your diet. In particular, cut back on processed and restaurant foods. They are full of salt, an enemy of healthy kidneys. Find great recipes at http://www.nwkidney.org.

5. Be cautious with over-the-counter pain medications such as ibuprofen. Large doses over a long time can damage the kidneys.

6. Keep active to stay fit and manage your weight. Lifestyle changes can keep you healthy and, if you have kidney damage, good health habits can keep it from getting worse.

For people whose kidney disease has progressed to total kidney failure, Northwest Kidney Centers provides dialysis and paves the way for kidney transplants.

But we would much prefer to help people avoid the need for our services.

Find more information about kidney disease prevention and treatment at www.nwkidney.org.

Joyce F. Jackson is president and CEO of Northwest Kidney Centers, a regional, not-for-profit, locally run provider of kidney dialysis, public health education and research into the causes and treatments of chronic kidney disease. Northwest Kidney Centers runs 15 dialysis clin-ics, including one in Renton.

square feet and there are provi-sions in the lease for expansion to the second and third floors. The city values the lease at $705,729.36 over the full five-year term.

To prep the 200 Mill building for the school, the city had to make a series of tenant improve-ments, including the removal of asbestos tiles that were installed when the building was built. A bathroom was also added and the fire alarm system will be upgrad-ed. The air conditioning was also have to be improved because of the increase in occupancy.

In addition, electrical docking stations and additional outlets have been added to the space, as every child at Amazing Grace uses a laptop as part of their studies.

There were also a handful of other standard improvements like

painting. Inside school, the walls are bright and colorful, designed, according to Dr. Zimmerman, to represent the various colors of the world and its people. There are a handful of classrooms, several work rooms and a large common room with windows that look out over the Cedar River, across to Liberty Park and provide an excellent view of the still-under-construction library.

During a short ceremony following the ribbon cutting, Dr. Zimmerman introduced members of the team that made the construction possible and thanked each of them for their work.

“A school doesn’t just happen,” he said.

Also on hand was Council-man Armondo Pavone, who has children who attend the school. Pavone said the school was a good fit for the building because they share the city’s goals of integra-

tion, a strong public/private part-nership and downtown revival.

Students through grade five were on hand for the ceremony, joining their older classmates in song to celebrate, but soon after returned to the school’s main location in the South Seattle/Sky-way area.

According to the school, Amaz-ing Grace and the new Renton Prep are Christian-based schools that serve children from 26 ethnic background and 12 faith tradi-tions. Forty percent of the student population is from Renton. Tuition is approximately $6,000 a year.

The high school will emphasize Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) curriculums, but will also teach classic liberal arts and culture.

Zimmerman said sign-ups for next year are high and he expects an additional 80-100 students to

enroll by fall.“It’s really humbling,” he

said.And while that may be

the case, the excitement was still palpable, with one young man perhaps sum-ming up the feeling in the room better than just about anyone else.

“This is epic!” he said.Reach Editor Brian

The Seattle Fashion Incubator (SFI), located in downtown Renton, recently acquired eight industrial sewing machines from Fil-son’s Seattle manufacturing facility as part of support of the incubator’s produc-tion training program for veterans.

Conversations between Filson and the Seattle Fashion Incubator began shortly after May 2014, when the Renton facil-ity was receiving media attention for its plans to teach veterans to be apparel production workers. Since

then, the company has been rallying support for its endeavors with econom-ic development agencies at the county level and with the City of Renton as well as the regions apparel in-dustry, which is the fourth largest in the country, reports SFI.

“The Seattle Fashion Incubator is a valuable resource for the fashion and apparel industry in the region,” said Suzanne Dale Estey, in a press release. She is the president and CEO of the Economic Develop-ment Council of Seattle &

King County. “This generous donation

from Filson will increase the incubator’s capacity for training and support, which will help grow jobs and support emerging companies in this impor-tant industry cluster. Hats off to all involved,” she said.

The donation follows another move to be closer to veterans. In October of 2014, the incubator moved into a 3,600-square-foot space next door to the Compass Veterans Center in Renton. The two entities have started to identify

veterans to participate in the training program.

“The Renton Compass Veterans Center is very excited to be partnering with Seattle Fashion Incu-bator,” said Roger Shands, program manager at the Renton Veterans Center, Compass Housing Alliance. “Our veterans are thankful to be presented this won-derful opportunity to get back into the workforce.”

Mid March means it is time to plant. Pea seeds can go

directly into the ground along with cool season crops such as lettuce, kale, Swiss Chard, beets, radishes and spinach. Don’t even think of planting warmth-loving

tomatoes, squash or eggplants yet and it is still too early to start tomato seeds indoors – they’ll grow leggy before the weather warms up enough to set them outdoors.

You can add instant color to the land-scape by planting flowering shrubs such as azaleas, rhodies, viburnums and daphne. Pink, lavender and white heathers and the heavenly and hugely popular hellebores are also available at area nurseries now for

filling in empty pots, adding to window boxes or just flinging them about the gar-den wherever you need a shot of color.

Here’s the most asked questions from beginning vegetable gardeners – read them and reap.

Q. I just bought some vegetable seeds. The directions say to

plant the lettuce seeds in early to mid spring. Can you give me an actual plant-ing date?

A. How about today. In Western Washington early spring is

usually March 1 until mid April. Seeds are not that particular on the date, it is the warmth and moisture in the soil that counts. Raised beds drain sooner so they can be planted in early March.

Q. I want to grow vegetables on my balcony. It gets lots of afternoon

sun. I did well with tomatoes last summer. What else should I try?

A. Grow yourself a summer din-ner by adding basil, spaghetti

squash, cucumbers, oregano and more tomatoes. Look for compact or bush vari-eties that won’t take up much room and be sure all your containers have good drain-age and that you are using a lightweight potting soil.

In a small garden grow what you are most likely to eat. In hot spots with little room grow Mediterranean herbs that can handle the heat reflected off of the build-ing.

Q. I want to remove some of my front grass and grow food – but

I certainly don’t want the neighbors to complain. What are the most attractive vegetables?

A. According to garden legend Ed Hume, the best way to create an

attractive vegetable garden is to combine

fine, medium and bold leaf textures. Use the fine texture of carrots, onions

and several herbs in the front with beets, lettuce and spinach behind them and backed up with the bold foliage of cab-bage, kale, rhubarb and the tall drama of artichoke plants to give a vertical element.

Now keep your edibles weeded, mix in some flowers (this helps bring in pol-linators) and share your bounty with the neighbors. You’ll be cheered not jeered for shrinking that lawn.

Q. I want to plant some vegetables but my soil is full of rocks and

light in color. Should I add manure? Fer-tilizer? Topsoil? Please help.

A. Start small your first year and invest in some bags of compost.

Visit a local nursery for advice on which bagged compost is best for your soil type.

A raised bed of at least six inches of compost surrounded by bricks, rocks or even logs will help contain the compost that you layer on top of your sad soil and then mix in with a hoe or shovel. Sign up for classes, subscribe to blogs, read books and slowly grow yourself some knowledge on the art of edible gardening.

Your local Master Gardeners are full of free advice and also have demonstration gardens for you to visit. My vote is to start with leafy greens that you grow from seed. Spinach, lettuce and kale can be planted now. In June plant beans, and squash.

DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE

Black River Pump Station Forebay Sediment Removal

King County plans to remove about 2,900 cubic yards of sedi- ment that has accumulated on the concrete forebay apron located immediately upstream of the Black River Pump Station. Sedi- ment that has accumulated up- stream of the pump station since its construction in the 1970s is now an operational concern for the facility. Sediment will be re- moved by dewatering the work area and excavating directly from the riverbed. Excavated materi- al will be decanted in a tempo- rary, water-tight facility on the south river bank. Decanted water will meet water quality standards before being discharged back into the Black River. Excavated sediment will be disposed of at an approved disposal facility. The project site is located at 550 Monster Road SW in the City of Renton. The property is

located in the SW 1/4 of Section 13, Township 23N, and Range 4E W.M. Comments on this project must be received no later than March 24, 2015. For additional informa- tion, please contact Kerry Bau- man, Project Manager, at (206) 477-4637, or write to: Kerry Bauman, Dept. of Natural Resources and Parks, 201 S.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

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

ton School of Education.The school was given three years and funding to turn test

scores around and they did it, showing dramatic gains even in the first year of the program.

“It’s kind of funny because we knew our scores, but to hear it said back, it was just such great recognition for the staff and their hard work,” said Calabrese.

Lakeridge is now recognized as being in the top 50 per-cent of all elementary schools statewide. Nearly 80 percent of its third-graders last year passed the state reading exams, exceeding state and district averages. Also, nearly 70 per-cent of Lakeridge fourth-graders and 80 percent of its fifth-graders passed state mathematics exams, again exceeding state and district averages.

“This is great news,” said Dorn in a press release. “It shows that with intentional assistance and focus, struggling schools can become successful schools. We can turn around schools only when we demand the same for all students that we demand for our own children.”

So what did it take to turn around Lakeridge, a school where 88.2 percent of students receive free or reduced-price meals?

The district and school staff adhered to the requirements of the grant and flourished with the added funding and intense focus. A school improvement plan was created, the

school day was extended, the year was extended by five days, a new student behavior plan was instituted and a de-termined effort to improve math instruction was launched.

The biggest challenges, according to Calabrese, was time and staffing qualified teachers from an increasingly shrinking pool of candidates. With the need to collaborate and do teacher professional development and the school

day extended by 30 minutes, it was also a challenge to pack everything they needed to get done into every day.

The last year of the program, the area substitute teacher shortage made it difficult for them to schedule their profes-sional development.

There was significant staff turnover at the beginning. Nine of the 30 teachers who were with the school pre-des-ignation are still with Lakeridge today.

There was normal attrition, Calabrese said, but also said some teachers left because they couldn’t meet the demands the grant required. The SIG designation also tied teacher evaluations to student growth. She said it was “healing” for those same nine teachers to hear that Lakeridge is no longer a failing school.

Now in their fourth year since the designation, the prin-cipal said that staff and students are on track to continued success. They now have a smaller SIG budget compared to grant years, but they have been able to move grant-funded staff to district-funded positions. They’ve also maintained their professional development in their math and literacy labs.

“It’s really important that we recognize that we built this and it is exactly what we make it,” said Calabrese. “As long as we keep doing it, we’ll keep getting these results, but we can’t lose our focus.”

Because of the school’s gains, the district is also being considered by OSPI for exiting the Required Action status.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

ANSWER TO LAST WEEK’S PUZZLE

STAFF WRITERSeattle Weekly is seeking a Sta� Writer to join its editorial team and help chronicle the fastest growing city in the U.S.

The Sta� Writer will be responsible for contributing high-quality news and feature stories with a focus on in-depth reporting and narrative storytelling. The right candidate will be somebody who feels more at home in the � eld rather than in front of a screen. In other words, if you think stringing tweets together can pass as a story, or prefer to conduct interviews over e-mail, this is not the job for you.

This Sta� Writer will be someone adept at, and perhaps addicted to, covering local politics and social-justice issues, but who can also sni� out the odd story about emergent trends in the tech sector or the city’s sports culture. She or he will come to every editorial sta� meeting with two or three new ideas for stories, and will walk away frustrated if the editor only bites on one.

Seattle Weekly is committed to delivering exceptional content to our readers each week, which means that the right candidate will know how to properly nurture a story, working closely with an editor on multiple rewrites to produce a piece that readers will enjoy, respect, and share, even if they disagree with it. He or she will be patient enough to let a story develop, but will also be capable of executing an unreasonably quick turnaround, and will be impeccable in observing deadlines. And the Sta� Writer will excel at crafting long-form features, though he or she will also be able to deliver impactful, thoroughly reported accounts in just 800 words.

Since Seattle is an unusually competitive market, the Sta� Writer will need to possess an ability to uncover stories that readers won’t � nd anywhere else. Second only to that is an insatiable desire to � nd a new angle on a well-trod story, revealing something new about a subject that other reporters might think is over and done with. She or he must be able to talk to people who don’t want to tell their story, or who maybe think they don’t have a story to tell. The right candidate will be smart enough to � nd the right sources and brave enough to ask the next, tougher question.

The Sta� Writer will also be a delight to work with—serious about the task at hand, but able to contribute to a convivial o� ce environment and to participate in group projects with consideration, honesty, and enthusiasm.

And, most important, the Sta� Writer must possess the ability to surprise her or his editor. If you are used to setting the bar high and then clearing it with ease, this could very well be the job for you.

Best of Renton 2014SPOTLIGHT

The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.

BY DEAN A. RADFORD

[email protected]

Multiple gunshots were fired into a house at about 7:30 p.m. March 1 on Northeast Second Street, including ones that struck in the laundry room where a resident was folding clothes.

Three young residents playing video

games got down on the floor after hearing the shots.

No one was hurt, although there was at least one near miss.

No one could provide a reason for the shooting; the family isn’t involved in any criminal activity or gangs, and there are no disputes.

Five .40-caliber shell casings were found in an alley. Bullets struck a van and a chest freezer.

Two rounds passed over the van, pen-

etrated a wall to the living room, crossed the living room and passed through a hollow-core door and into the laundry room.

SEAHAWK’S GUN STOLEN: A Se-ahawks player has reported that one of his handguns was stolen during his move last July from the East Coast to join the 2014 training camp.

The handgun was among his belongings packed into a moving van; he discovered

the missing gun when he unpacked. He didn’t report the missing gun imme-diately because he didn’t have its serial number with him.

When the season ended, he retrieved the serial number at home.

The handgun was reported into crime databases as stolen.
