Grad finds her ‘potential’ By TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

Lindbergh senior Kendra Duncan chats with teacher Kari Hollandsworth about being able to walk with the Class of 2013. Tracey Compton, Renton Reporter

Not every student is prepared to deal with the challenges of high school life. A district program is helping those that fail early on to graduate. Lindbergh senior Kendra Duncan was one such student. She held on her freshman year, but life’s circumstances allowed her to pass only one

of her classes sophomore year. With a credit-retrieval program, Kendra left Lindbergh, enrolled in the district’s non-traditional school and was able to earn credits and salvage her grade point average enough to prepare for graduation. She returned to Lindbergh High School this year as a senior in time to walk with her 2013 graduating class. “I always heard, ‘You have so much potential,’”Kendra said. “I was tired

of hearing that, ‘potential.’ I wanted to reach that potential; I wanted to see what my teachers see and I wanted to be that.” Kendra had definite unlocked potential, but a rocky family life and approach to school that made it difficult for her to maintain her grades in high school. Previous to Lindbergh, Duncan’s mom, who was a single parent, had a two-year bout with [ more Duncan page 15 ]

The Renton City Council on Monday approved the preliminary plans and budget of up to $10 million for the Renton Highlands Library project. The vote was 5-1 with councilmember Marcie Palmer voting against and councilmember Terri Briere absent from the meeting. The council received an update on the project during its Committee of The Whole meeting, including updates on the library and the Sunset Terrace redevelopment project of which it is an anchor. The library project calls for a 15,000-squarefoot library to be built at Sunset Avenue and [ more IPSUM page 4 ]

Uptown Glass moving to Seattle dradford@rentonreporter.com

Uptown Glassworks, which has helped define and create the arts and culture scene in downtown Renton, is moving to Seattle. The building, where Uptown Glassworks has created works of art for nearly 20 years, is owned by Charles Divelbiss, who also owns the St. Charles Place Antiques on Wells Avenue.

Uptown’s studio manager is Divelbiss’ son David, who has been a presence at the shop since his father and glassblower Dennis Mullen opened it as an antique shop with a hot shop in 1994. David Divelbiss said he will miss the “sense of community” that Uptown Glassworks has established with the local businesses – and “the essential decency of all the other business owners.” [ more Glass page 14 ]

Police issue warrant in park shooting A warrant for felony murder has been issued for Jerome “CJ” Linzy Hopkins, who has been identified as associated with the May 22 homicide of Lonnie L. Reynolds, according to the Renton Police Department. Renton investigators are working with a number of police agencies to find Hopkins of Kent, but as of mid-week he had not

been located, according to Detective Robert Onishi, a spokesman for the police department. Reynolds, 20, of Seattle was shot in the torso at Liberty Park in Renton the evening of May 22 and died the next morning at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Her death was ruled a homicide by the King County medical examiner.

Robots take over Lindbergh gymnasium! By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

Like your average sporting event, the gym at Lindbergh High School was packed with competitors and spectators May 30 to watch the combatants square off against each other in an action-packed battle of speed, guile and strength. But unlike the average sporting event at the gym, the combatants in question were not student athletes or teachers. Shoot, they weren’t even human; they were robots. “The game is tic tac toe and there’s a little bit of a twist,” said Matt Randall, Lindbergh physics teacher and “head honcho” of the school’s FIRST robotics club. This was the 20th year Lindbergh has hosted the Northwest Regional Robotics Competition and 45 teams of teenagers from five schools from around the area made the trek to Renton for the event. The idea is simple: build a machine that can place wooden blocks into a tic tac toe board. Teams have 60 seconds and score points based on how many blocks they place, how high they place the blocks and if they make any tic tac toe rows. Teams could also knock another team’s blocks out of the board or they could work together, using a special block, and each team could score points. Randall said the competitors are simply presented with a problem – in this case tic tac toe – and given a box of parts to work with. Every team gets the same parts and Randall said the teachers don’t even know the best solution. “They come up with their own designs,” Randall said of the teams. “Anyway they can make that work.” The teams work on designing and engineering their robots, figuring out gear ratios, torque and then building the robots. Team members are required to take physics in order to join the robotics class. There is no programming involved though, making it more of a mechani-

cal engineering competition than actual Asimov- or even Roomba-style robots. The teams used a variety of strategies to play the game, from scoops to pulleys to clamps. Lindbergh team No. 6, “Los Bandoleros,” made up of senior Josh Kennedy, sophomore Miguel Mayorga and senior Miguel Sanchez, was the highest-scoring team of the day and finished in second place over all, falling – literally – to a team from Squalicum. “The final match was epic, and ended when the robot from team from Lindbergh fell over backward after colliding with the tic-tac-toe scoring area,” Randall said in an email. Los Bandoleros used a wide-scoop strategy for their robot. They would pick up three blocks at a time, lift them into place and slide them as a single row into the game board. “The clamp os one-at-a-time and the goal is as many as possible,” explained Mayorga.

The strategy worked brilliantly in the opening rounds. “We’ve been scoring like no other,” said Kennedy, who also competed last year when the game was placing rings on pegs. Team Fat Puppies, consisting of senior Mitchell Hughey, junior Colton Maddy and senior Evan Lamb, went with a clamp concept for their robot. Hughey said the team felt it would be easier to place the blocks in the board if they did not have a scoop, but the team did take a chance to admire the other robots in the competition. “There’s a lot of interesting designs,” Lamb said. Team Fat Puppies ultimately finished 13th overall. A team with a robot by the name of “Termi Jr.” (like “Terminator,” the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie franchise about robots that become sentient and wage war with the humans) also went with a clamping design. Seniors Meghan Hansen, Brianna Mor-

gan and Elise Aylward said they spent a lot of time on strategy for their contests, but sacrificed being able to place blocks in the top row in favor of speed. The girls said it was fun taking part in the competition, especially with robotics being a field that most people think of as male-dominated. “Everybody talks trash to us,” Morgan said. “But it makes it that much better when we succeed,” Alyward added with a laugh. In the end, Termi Jr. landed the girls an eighth-place finish. Other top Lindbergh teams were: • Fifth Place: Dre Montgomery, Samantha Peltier, Jasmine Rau; • 10th: Maria Cornell, Derrick Holt, Zane Vakerics; and • 16th: Jessy Bickford, John Paul Garcia, Josh Jordan.

Renton police nab motorcycle thief after crash, foot chase A routine traffic stop Tuesday afternoon in south Renton turned into a chase witnessed by hundreds of commuters and the recovery of a stolen motorcycle. A Renton police officer attempted to stop a motorcycle near the intersection of East Valley Road and South 43rd Street at about 4 p.m. The motorcyclist sped off, but wrecked the motorcycle on a curb and fled on foot, according to Renton Police Sgt. Jeff Eddy. About eight Renton Police units responded, setting up a perimeter in the immediate area. A K-9 unit was called in to track the suspect, a 37-year-old Graham man.

Witnesses who saw the man running through the business complex called 911, letting officers know his location, according to Eddy. The man was taken into custody just outside a technology business across Lind Avenue from IKEA. He had gone inside, apparently to call someone to come pick him up, according to Eddy. The K-9 unit had tracked the suspect to the door of the business but lost the scent. That meant either the suspect was inside or had been picked up, Eddy said. The man was taken to SCORE jail and booked for investigation of possession of stolen property. The motorcycle was stolen in Seattle. There were no injuries in the incident, which lasted about 20 minutes.

Teen with gunshot wound flees hospital The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department incident reports: By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

An officer was called to the emergency room to investigate a teen who appeared to have a stab wound. The teen was vague in explaining where he had been wounded, using such descriptions as “over there” or “right here.” But he insisted he had been cut; the officer thought it appeared

to be a gunshot. The officer left the room to talk with a nurse. The boy, fully dressed, ran from the room and the officer ordered him to stop. But he fled, yelling “No. I just got shot and you guys aren’t doing anything about it.” The nurse gave chase, but he was out of sight when she got to the lobby. The officer couldn’t find him in

ONLINE CONCERNS: A Renton man contacted police in May after he became concerned about the content of an email exchange he was having with another man.

A Renton man will be sentenced June 14 after a jury found him guilt in May of shooting to death a man and wounding three others at a Seattle bus stop in September 2011. Say Keodara, 19, was charged with first-degree murder and first-degree assault when he tried to rob three homeless men at the bus shelter and became angry when they didn’t have any valuables or cash, according to King County prosecutors. A woman who had been waiting for a bus was also wounded in the shooting. All four charges include firearm sentencing enhancements. He was also convicted of unlawful possession of a firearm. Keodara will face a sentence range of 78 to 98 years in prison, which includes the firearm enhancements. Sentencing is scheduled for 10 a.m. June 14 before Judge Laura Middaugh at the King County Courthouse.

Harrington Avenue Northeast. The project also features a one-story underground garage, located directly beneath the new building. Voters approved the project in 2010 as part of annexation into the King County Library District. Planning Director Chip Vincent called the library the “cornerstone” of the whole project, which includes housing and a park among other things. Vincent said the library will be a “third place” for residents to visit, as well as a meeting place for the community. “This is one of the big dominoes that gets a lot of other dominoes to fall with it,” he said. The project as presented was essentially the same one the council saw last year, with a few minor revisions, the main one being the parking garage. Originally designed as a two-story garage, the cost has prompted a revision. Palmer was concerned about the size of the garage, compared to the size of the facility and questioned why there would be only 48 spaces when the library’s meeting room could hold at least 72. “This seems very inadequate,” she said, adding that she has been to the Newcastle Library several times and has yet to be able to park in the garage there. Jane Barker of THA Architecture in Portland, the firm designing the new building, said the building’s footprint and budget are what they are and they fit as many parking spaces as possible in the garage. KCLS Facilities Director Greg Smith said there would also be on-street parking available and developers were working on agreements to possibly use space in an adjacent parking garage for the housing development co-locat-

“Has your father (or dad) met your expectations?”

“I’ m so glad that I went; I’ve changed so much.“ Lindbergh senior Kendra Duncan on her experience at the Secondary Learning Center

Should we honor our fathers? What about our ‘dads’? I’m dedicating my column this month to men, since June is the month we honor fathers. But, should we? Webster’s dictionary defines a father as an “originator, a begetter.’ An act, that takes a few seconds of pleasure, sometimes results in a creation that lasts a lifetime. Many fathers fail to “man up” and choose to run from this lifetime commitment – physically, emotionally or financially. But those who stay and try their best are called “dads” and Webster defines them as “buddy, pal.” Dads love to share their passions by teaching us what they know and love. My dad loved sports, and being a girl was no excuse for not learning how to play hockey, baseball and shoot pool. These experiences taught me how to compete and interact with the opposite sex. Working hard and living up to your responsibilities was his foundation, which provided me with a foundation. His simple Sunday drives instilled a desire to look beyond our boundaries and explore. Most importantly, he shared his faith and it was evident that is what carried him through the dark times. But dads aren’t perfect. I often resented his strictness and discipline. Upon reflection, I realize all he wanted to accomplish was to share his values and hope they would become ours. He was just a man, trying to be a good parent by drawing on his upbringing and the norm at the time. Unfortunately, not everyone is blessed to have someone who cares enough to discipline, teach them the skills to survive on their own and how to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Maybe that’s because it’s a full-time job and Tish Gregory

● QUOTE OF NOTE:

COMMENTARY

RENTON

OPINION

www.rentonreporter.com

you have to be present in mind and body. Just providing a home is not enough if you are spending most of your free time with your friends, hobbies, video games and sports. Boys look to their dad’s example to learn the basic three “C’s” every boy needs – competing, courage and commitment. They see how men handle family responsibilities – from working to support a family to fixing things around the house. Girls look to their dads to feel loved and protected and to know that, at least to one man, they will always be a princess. The most valued lesson children learn is how men and women interact and respect one another in a loving relationship with all of life’s ups and downs. Without this positive male influence in the life of a child, they have low self-esteem and will always wonder how the begetter can forget them. The hole in their heart is deep, never fills and their anger often remains hidden or explodes into reckless behavior. In short, the overall well-being of a child is in-

fluenced by whether they have a dad or a father. These complicated relationships either mold or break us. Dads, thank you for sharing your passions, uniqueness and values with your children. It may seem at times your efforts go unnoticed, but be assured your dedication and example is the foundation for future generations. Fathers – your lack of effort is noticed. But, it’s never too late to recommit your time, talent, energy and resources to your children, no matter where they live. For those who are neither, remember being a dad isn’t for everyone. And, that’s OK. By knowing this, you can take the necessary precautions to avoid becoming a father. We have lots of fathers. What we need are more dads. So let’s rephrase this holiday in June from Happy Father’s Day to Happy Dad’s Day and put the honor and thanks where it really belongs.

Letter to the editor Don’t worry, hummingbirds are safe Don’t give up hope on the hummingbirds (“Hummingbirds still missing,” Renton Reporter letter to the editor, May 31.) Mr. Oulette and Ms. Naversen each wrote letters expressing concern for their missing hummingbirds. Don’t worry. The birds are safe and sound, dining at our East Highlands backyard feeder. Normally we get one or two hummingbirds throughout the year, but this season we’ve been inundated! This has been going on since early April. It is common to see two dine at the same time, and more often they take turns, waiting and watching from the trees and bushes. Surely they’ll tire of my recipe soon and when they do, I imagine they’ll disperse throughout the neighborhoods, so keep your feeders full.

Rollover accident wrecks Tuesday morning commute

Traffic was snarled during the Tuesday morning commute when a tractortrailer loaded with bread overturned on southbound Interstate 405 just south of State Route 167. Southbound 405 was closed for about three hours, causing mileslong backups on I-405 and SR 167 and sending motorists into downtown Renton on Grady Way and Rainier Avenue looking for detours. No one was injured, according to the Washington State Patrol. The accident occurred at about 7:15 a.m. when three southbound vehicles were slowing to a stop, according to the Washington State Patrol. The tractor-trailer collided with a 2009 Honda Pilot driven by a 40-yearold Renton man, which

Courtesy WSDOT then collided with a 2008 Ford Fusion driven by a 48-year-old Sammamish man, according to the state patrol. The tractor-trailer overcorrected back onto I-405 and collided with a 2012 Hyundai Accent driven by a 57-year-old Renton man. The tractor-trailer then

rolled on its side, blocking all southbound lanes. Tow trucks righted the tractortrailer and lanes were reopened at about 10:15 a.m. The driver of the tractortrailer, a 29-year-old Olympia man, is under investigation for possible second-degree negligent driving.

Children as Beneficiaries of a Qualified Plan

Parents of minor children may be tempted to name the children as beneficiary of a qualified plan like an I.R.A. or a 401k plan. But until the children attain age 18, the account will be held in a guardianship making it difficult to provide for their needs. It is best to designate as beneficiary a trust for the benefit of the children as established in the parents’ Will. For children of legal age, the children can be designated as beneficiary so they can “roll-over” to a “stretch I.R.A.” and be able to recognize the income tax over their life expectancy. Check the designated beneficiaries on your qualified plans to be certain that your intentions will be fulfilled. I have more than 39 years of experience providing thoughtful and comprehensive counsel for clients. Please call 425-227-8700 to make an appointment. Committed to you and the community.

But his hope, he said, is that other businesses, such as Arts-n-Carafes on South Third Street, “will continue this legacy.” Uptown Glassworks has not only sold the colorful glass objects but also through its classes taught students how to create their own. Uptown created the stylish Curvee award for the Renton FilmFrenzy. Divelbiss expects Uptown will continue the lessons and outreach at its new location in SODO – south of downtown Seattle on Airport Way in Georgetown. It will do so under a new name, SODO Glass Studio. The studio will occupy the lower floor of the Rainier/Tully’s building visible from Interstate 5. The upper floors house the urban arts lofts. Divelbiss is helping to oversee the final sale through mid-July and move with Uptown owners Ryan Blythe and Bob Tollenaar. They’re hoping that their customers and community will stop by to say goodbye. Business has been good at Uptown, especially during the holiday season, says Divelbiss. The shop has a core of about 65 artists who regularly display their works for sale at the shop on Main Avenue South. But father Charles received an offer that was too good to turn down. GHY Bike Shop just around the corner on South Third Street was looking for room to expand. GHY

would pay double the rent that Uptown is paying, a deal Uptown couldn’t match, David Divelbiss said. “In this business climate, when you get an offer like that from someone who says they want to be here long-term, you really have to take it,” Divelbiss said. GHY opened in June 2005. It has four full-time employees and two parttimers – and the need to properly display all its bikes and other products, says owner A.J. Johnson. The roughly 3,000 square feet on Main Avenue “screams bike shop,” said Johnson. He plans to open in the new location on Aug. 1, after Uptown completes its move to SODO. Uptown Glassworks is in the midst of a final sale, with July 14 its final day of operation. It will take about two weeks to move and to make sure all the furnaces are working, Divelbiss said. It plans to open as SODO Glass Studio by July 29. Because the square footage in Seattle is similar to the space in Renton, SODO Glass Studio will continue the same operation, he said, including blow-your-own glass classes – and add more intensive glasses. The shop also will expand its wholesale and customorder glass lines and work on larger glass installations, Divelbiss said. For more information visit www.uptownglassworks.com.

‘Class clown’ gets serious [ Duncan from page 1] drugs. Kendra’s dad was in and out of her life. She had been in at least eight schools before coming to the Renton School District in eighth grade. Prior, Kendra and her brothers, moved with her mom to a rehabilitation center so her mom could get help.

Bully to ‘saved’ Kendra Duncan Hollandsworth couldn’t grade Kendra’s rap and she failed all of her classes at Lindbergh sophomore year, but one: journalism.

A fresh start Kendra’s mom, her main supporter, pushed her to try the credit-retrieval program at Sartori, one of the district’s non-traditional schools at the time. Kendra didn’t want to go, saying she thought that’s “where the bad kids go.” The first month she didn’t like it, but then discovered the staff was supportive, “like a family,” with teachers who invested extra time in students. With new found success, Kendra passed all of her classes junior year, making up additional

This year, the credit retrieval program at Renton’s Secondary Learning Center has served 420 students. Principal Ron Mahan estimates that 40 students will graduate from the center and about six students have returned to their former high schools to graduate. About 90 percent of students at the non-traditional school come with credit retrieval needs. The district had pre-existing strategies at Black River High School and Sartori, before the Secondary Learning Center opened last fall. This is the program’s first year at the center, but Mahan said that it is successful. Aside from this program, students, who are just one to five classes behind, can retrieve credits at the three comprehensive high schools: Renton, Lindbergh and Hazen. Other options for getting on track after a bad year of high school include completing high school credits at a community college or getting a general equivalency degree (GED). Also Mahan said that several community agencies offer low to no cost options that help students with both education and “wrap” services for social and emotional assistance.

Seeking support Kendra advises other students to not deny their challenges and barriers to success. “If you’re in a struggle, let somebody know,” she said. “Don’t say, ‘I’m in a struggle, but I don’t want to tell nobody because I don’t want to look like I’m in the struggle that I’m in. Tell somebody if you’re in a struggle because you never know what help you can get if you don’t ask for it.” Recently at Lindbergh, Kendra returned to former teacher Hollandsworth’s

The teacher, on the verge of tears, beamed a big smile and chatted with Kendra about her transformation. “It wasn’t her genre, at all,” said Hollandsworth, noting the all-business, sometimes boring diligence needed for the credit-retrieval program. “It didn’t play to any of your strengths, at all,” the teacher said, recognizing again Kendra’s creativity. “And yet, she decided she could get that hard part done, so she could come back and graduate. And I’m so proud of you.” Looking back on the credit retrieval program and Sartori and then the Secondary Learning Center, Kendra said, “I’m so glad that I went; I’ve changed so much.” Kendra Duncan will be one of the many seniors graduating in the Renton School District’s commencement exercises June 13 at ShoWare Center in Kent.

For Kendra, it was embarrassing to go from the rehab center to school every day. She didn’t invite friends over to hang out or share where she lived. During this turmoil, Kendra developed a bad attitude, becaming a bully and class clown, cussing often, she said. This was the result of the uneasiness she felt about her family life and her weight, which she was teased about. Such was Kendra’s elementary and middle school life. She was mean to people and would steal sometimes, she said. By the end of Kendra’s fifth-grade year, her mother freed herself from her addictions. But Kendra’s repressed and ignored emotions around the family’s upheaval would later haunt her in high school. When Kendra arrived in Renton in eighth grade, she decided to make a change, starting with something simple. She decided to stop cussing. “I feel like God delivered me from cussing,” Kendra said. After becoming “saved” at church, Kendra decided to seek a different path. The change proved to be a good one, but not enough to focus her on her studies. Freshman year, Kendra was still a class clown. “Humor was how I got out of my life,” she said. Teachers recognized Kendra’s potential and creativity, but did not see those attributes reflected in her grades. Kari Hollandsworth was Kendra’s science teacher at Lindbergh. Hollandsworth called Kendra “very spirited and independent” and remembers her most for making up a rap about photosynthesis, which Kendra performed, in class, on the spot, after the lesson. “So she could engage with the material, knew the material, wanted to entertain, but unfortunately in school you have to have a product,” Hollandsworth said.

On Tuesday, June 11, an aquatic herbicide will be applied to the waters of the swim beach and boat harbor at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park and at Kennydale Beach Park for the treatment of milfoil, an aquatic non-native weed that flourishes in Washington. An additional treatment will occur on June 12, if it cannot be completed on June 11. The product used for this application is safe for humans and animals and is authorized by the Washington State Department of Ecology. Milfoil is a feathery weed that can tangle up people, boat propellers, and fishing lines. It chokes out native plants, spreads rapidly to new areas and has few natural controls. Once established, it is very difficult to remove through mechanical removal efforts since any piece of it can grow into a full-sized plant making aquatic treatment the most effective solution.
