Teachers grow more unhappy with Common Core changes
45 years of warmth and giving from the Mitten Tree BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
School board hears complaints about lack of teacher voice in decisions that affect their jobs

or the 45th year Renton’s First Savings Bank Northwest donated a tree full of knitted mittens, gloves, scarves and booties to the Salvation Army. “Forty-five years is a long time…this is something that’s deeply rooted in Renton as First Savings Bank is,” said Carol Janssen, marketing vice president. “We’re 91 years old and just being a part of the community for that long and giving back to the community is important.” The tradition started in 1969 when Tom Ross, a lending officer, suggested the giving, family themed tree to H.A. Blencoe, the CEO at the time. Every year since the company has placed a large tree in its lobby and watched as donations came from all over the community and country to fill its boughs from customers and non-customers alike. “This is like nothing I’ve ever seen before,” said Major Kris Potter of the Salvation Army. “This is an incredible work of labor and love and effort from a whole assortment of people.” Potter was amazed at the amount of color, shapes and sizes packed on the tree. “It’s a work of love,” he said. “They call it a Knitten-Mitten Tree, but it’s really a tree of love is what it is.”

Teachers and staff in the Renton School District are expressing their frustrations about a lack of support for aligning curriculum with the new national reading, writing and math standards adopted by Washington state. At a recent school board meeting on Dec. 10, four teachers spoke during the comment period, one near tears, addressing problems with the implementation of the Common Core State Standards. The standards are academic benchmarks for reading and math that lay out what students should know and do at each grade level and after high school. Fighting back tears, Katie Thorleifson, a teacher at Campbell Hill Elementary, reported that 11 out of 14 teachers informally surveyed at her school said they have thought about quitting.

A break-in at their food bank on Dec. 11 left the folks at Vision House wondering how they were going to make ends meet for their clients during the holidays. But then, when word began to spread of the crime and the need, the donations began to flow from everywhere and all of sudden the talk began to change into that most elusive of all holiday plot twists: the Christmas Miracle. “Yes, we’ve been tossing that word around,” said
Vision House Development Manager Venetia Vango last week. Vision House is a nonprofit organization that provides transitional housing to homeless women and families. Most stay at the facility and supplement their incomes through a small food and clothing bank, known as the “resident store,” located on the property. Presently, 23 families live at the Renton facility. On the morning of Dec. 11, Vango and her staff arrived to find that someone had stripped the shelves

‘Medical Detectives’ get hands-on experience
McKnight Middle School students Luca He, Sahn Kim and Max Afanasyev explore sheep’s brains in the new Medical Detectives module. COURTESY RENTON SCHOOL DISTRICT
BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
Some McKnight Middle School students got a hands-on introduction to animal brains in an attempt to better understand how their own brains function in teacher Dave Huff ’s technology education classes. The assignment to dissect sheep brains is part of the new Medical Detectives module students are studying at the school. It is hands-on laboratory practice to gain knowledge of the parts of the brain and how the brain works. Students said things like “It wasn’t as gross as I thought it would be” and “I learned so much in this unit.” Medical Detectives is a one-semester course that is part of the Gateway to Technology curriculum, provided by Project Lead the Way, a U.S. non-profit organization that develops STEM curricula for use by elementary, middle and high schools.
Medical Detectives is very similar to traditional science classes. Emily Seaman, former PLTW teacher and current sixth-grade science teacher at McKnight, was quoted as saying, “Traditional science classes are lab-based similar to Medial
Detectives, although the content in MD appears to be more challenging.” Students get to do genetic testing for hereditary diseases and DNA crime-scene analysis, making them real-life medical detectives. There are many hands-on projects and labs that explore the biomedical sciences and allow students to solve a variety of medical mysteries. “Students investigate medical careers, vital signs, diagnosis and treatment of diseases as well as human body systems such as the nervous system,” said Huff in a email. The course is being provided at all district middle schools and is an in-depth approach to learning that provides students a fun and unique way to use math and science skills, a district release stated.
Denis Law. Smith said she saw a Waste Management truck on her way into work and said she has a new respect for the company, calling the blankets life-giving and much-needed for the city’s needy. “This is really amazing, we are so thankful for this partnership,” she said. Waste Management serves more than 20 million customers in the U.S. and Canada and has about 30 to 50 drivers in Renton.

The REACH Center of Hope and the city’s cold weather shelter got the gift of 100 blanket from Waste Management Dec. 18. The effort was started by employee David Della and Waste Management’s Operations Team, who organized quickly to round up all 100 blankets for the city’s two shelters. Lead Renton drivers Jason Lange and Russell Ruhle organized their fellow drivers to donate the blankets. There were also cash donations to purchase blankets from other drivers in the region. The company supports a nationwide campaign called “Blankets Across America” at the corporate level. “It’s important because we’re part of this community,” said Alan York, senior district manager, about the donations. “We need the community to succeed and we have to give back to the community that we live in, that we work in and that’s what we’re doing today.” The donations were presented to Center of Hope Director Dr. Linda Smith and Mayor

A gift of gardening never grows old After more than 30 years of writing a garden column, this is still my most-requested encore column for reprints. So as a gift to readers, you can visit my website at www.binettigarden. com and download this Christmas poem for newsletters or other use with my copyright permission. T’was the week before Christmas, and all through the yard, not a gift was given, not even a card. The tools were all hung, in the carport with care, with hopes that St. Nicholas soon would repair, The shovel with blade all rusty and cracked, the pitchfork still shiny, but handle it lacked.

Parking garage sits there empty I am a Renton resident who makes the dreaded commute to Bellevue in rush hour. I’d love to work closer to home or travel on off-peak hours, but this is not an option for me. I was greatly concerned to read that the commuter parking spaces at the Renton City Center parking garage will be reduced from 200 to 150 stalls. This will not provide enough parking spaces. Residents of Renton will have to drive past an empty parking garage because two publicly funded organizations are not working together for the good of the people. There aren’t other parking options. Ideally I’d park at the South Renton Park and Ride, as it is closer to my home. The information provided by King County Metro states that this parking facility is “usually full by 9 a.m.”; however I can confirm that the South Renton Park and Ride is usually full by 7:10 a.m. I have driven around it many times, just to have to continue on my way to the Renton City Center parking garage. Once downtown I drive up four nearly empty floors to get to the commuter parking area. I’m there by 7:22 a.m. and the only spots available are only the very top floor. There is not a surplus of 50 commuter

stalls. From my understanding Renton City Center parking garage is owned by the city and managed by Diamond Parking Services. There is no additional revenue to be collected by reducing the number of spots available to commuters. I’m sure that the garage gets additional use during the day that I don’t see, but I’m highly doubtful that there is full use of the over 300 (soon to be 350 plus) spots that are off-limits to commuters. I know that the City of Renton needs to collect money from the garage, but pushing out commuters is not the solution. The result of this action will be that the bottom floors of the parking garage will be even emptier than before and there will be less public commuters. Nobody wins.
I’m hoping that the City of Renton and King County Metro will be able to work together on a creative solution. Please find a resolution that will allow the taxpayers of Renton to use a public facility instead of it sitting there empty. Leshell Bergan, Renton

Boeing and Puget Sound Energy this past week announced an agreement that will see the Renton 737 facility powered entirely by renewable energy. The site will now be powered by 50 percent hydroelectric power and 50 percent wind power from the Wild Horse Wind and Solar Facility and Renewable Energy Center near Ellensburg. “I’m proud to say we are using clean, renewable energy to power our facility, said Barbara Wyse, vice president and general manager of the 737 program. Previously, the Renton facility was powered through a combination of sources, including hydroelectric, coal, natural gas and wind. Under the new agreement, Boeing’s Next-Generation of 737 aircrafts will represent a reduced environmental footprint than the current crop. Boeing presently builds 42 planes per month in Renton and plans to ramp up to 47 per month in 2017 and then 52 per month in 2018. Though officials said the renewable power will cost the

The teachers spoke of a lack of curriculum for the Common Core Standards, changing leadership at their schools, low morale, a lack of training on the standards, increasing teacher/student ratios, problems with technology and a lack of the teachers’ voice in major decisions. “They are at the tipping point; there’s so much piled on them that they are at their last straw,” said Cami Kiel in an interview Dec. 16. She is the president of the teacher’s union, the Renton Education Association. Kiel also offered her testimony at the school board of what she’s hearing from teachers. Teachers have expressed concern about their colleagues and there’s minimal and very limited tools to align the Common Core Standards, she said. “When we finally do adopt the curriculum, there’s no time for teachers to sit down and learn it,” said Kiel. A substitute teacher shortage is also contributing to these issues as teachers can’t break away from their classrooms to get the training they need on the new standards. However, the district administration is aware of the problems and interested in listening to the concerns, Kiel said. “They are really interested in problem-solving, but there are so many problems where do we begin,” she said. The district has been working with teams of teachers for many months to adjust Renton’s curriculum and to provide updated classroom learning materials to align the Common Core Standards and the Smarter Balance test that measure the standards. “The work to adopt new curriculum and learning materials is a lengthy process that requires the groups of teachers and district staff to be careful and thorough in choosing what we provide our teachers to present to students in classrooms,” said Randy Matheson, district spokesperson. The work is daunting. One recent group of educators and staff were working to adopt elementary-school reading curriculum and after their review, they didn’t think the materials were good enough for their classrooms. So they started the process over with new materials.

Last year, teachers, principals and staff were expressing a positive and optimistic view of the new national standards. Now, the mood seems to have soured as the process to align the standards to curriculum and do the required assessments clunks along. “Most of all teachers are tired,” said Becca Ritchie, a sixth-grade computer teacher at Nelsen Middle School. “Many comments were made by my colleagues that October felt like May. Their workloads keeps them busy and along with that, now they have to prove they are good teachers. They do not have the energy to show up at a school board meeting or write an op ed piece. They can’t fit in one more meeting and because they are not there, neither are their voices.” Ritchie has taught for 24 years at Nelsen and said that in recent years the school has been losing teachers in the double digits every year. “I have experienced meetings where we are told ‘teacher voice’ is wanted,” Ritchie said. “I attended to find that all of the key decisions have already been made and basically the meeting is to rubber stamp those decisions and to be able to say ‘we had teacher voice.’ But it wasn’t authentic, true teacher voice. This is disheartening.” Kiel called the district’s response to the disconnect in teaching materials a “crash course.” “The district understands they need teachers’ voice, but how loud can a teacher’s voice be? I think there’s a legitimate rush to get things on the table, to get things done,” she said. “It’s a crash course rush instead of being really thoughtful and having the teachers’ voice that’s necessary.” District administration maintains that they are committed to doing better and providing teachers with the curriculum and teaching materials they need to continue to improve student learning. “Our teachers are hard-working, caring, committed professionals who demand a high level of service from the district so that they can do their best in classrooms,” said Matheson. “We are committed to providing them with those materials and the support they deserve.” approached, their cupboards were now bare. So the staff sent out an email to her staff and donors to let them know what had happened and the response was swift. “Honestly, this is one of those years where financial

The group had received the email and wanted to respond. Now, Vision House’s shelves are full again (and a new security system has been installed) and it looks like there will be a merry Christmas at Vision House indeed. “A bad thing happened, but God meant it for good,” Vango said.

Bomb squad called in to deal with backpack offered to God BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
The homeless man wanted a fresh start, so he walked into the New Life Church Nov. 30 and placed his backpack with all his worldly possessions inside on the stage. About six hours later, after the Port of Seattle bomb squad detonated the backpack, he was free to go with his possessions, including a Civil War-era knife. The church provided him with hot meals and put him up in a motel for two nights. The 34-year-old man walked in to the church on the Renton Maple Valley Highway at about 1:20 p.m., and placed his backpack on the stage. He told a security officer it was for the pastor. The church was evacuated. The man left but then returned. He was talking with Pastor Ricardo Quintana and security guards when Renton Police officers
arrived. “Everything I own,” he answered, when asked what was inside the backpack. He was offering his belongings to God, so he could start over, get a fresh start. Officers asked whether he had anything inside the backpack that could harm anyone. There was the Civil War knife and the rest of his belongings. He didn’t feel suicidal, but he needed some help. He was talking and acting strangely, according to the Renton Police Department case report. “There was enough lack of clarity of why he was doing it that we felt protocol needed to go to the next level,” said Quintana in an interview. He had several conversations with the man during the day. The Port of Seattle bomb squad was called in. Although he was free to leave, the man stayed. A technician spent about 40 minutes

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity 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 delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled 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.

Some commuter and school-oriented routes do not operate, and other routes have individual trips canceled. Also, some trips and routes serving the University of Washington are canceled when the university is not in session. Sunday schedules will be in effect on the following holidays: • Thursday, Dec. 25 – Christmas; and • Thursday, Jan. 1 – New Year’s Day. The reduced weekday schedule and no UW will be in effect on: • Wednesday, Dec. 24 – Christmas Eve; • Friday and Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Dec. 26, 29, 30, 31 – winter holiday period, weekdays only

Q. What constitutes a pet emergency? 1. Almost any problem involving the eye should be seen right away. Glaucoma, corneal ulcers, and foreign bodies beneath the eyelids are very serious and may lead to permanent blindness. 2. Profuse vomiting is another sign that needs immediate attention. It does not take very long for a pet, particularly a small one to become dangerously dehydrated. 3. Difficulty breathing is also a problem that should not wait. Difficulty breathing may be a severe cough, but more commonly it is exaggerated effort in breathing, with pets often using their abdominal muscles to help them breathe. 4. If there is active hemorrhage, of course, the pet needs to be seen by a veterinarian right away. If there are just a few drops of blood from a minor wound, it is probably OK to wait for your regular veterinarian. 5. If your pet has its first seizure, particularly if it lasts more that a couple of minutes, should be examined immediately. 6. If your pet ingests a toxin, particularly antifreeze, they should be taken to the emergency hospital as soon as possible. The doctor may induce vomiting to try to eliminate the absorption of the toxin, so time is important. 7. If your pet is pregnant, and is having difficulty having the babies, it should see the emergency veterinarian. If sever, this problem may require an emergency caesarean section. Of course, there are many other problems that pets can have. If you need advice on whether your pet’s symptoms should have immediate attention, call your Veterinarian or the local Emergency Hospital for advice. They will be happy to discuss your pet and their problem. 1188813

The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports. BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
Officers found them asleep in the front seat of the sedan at about 8:30 a.m. on Northeast 16th Street, a glass pipe on her lap and aluminum foil covered with burn marks on his lap. The officers stood there for several minutes; the car was idling in park. The glass pipe is typically used to smoke narcotics. There were plastic bags inside a pouch on
his lap. There were a Stihl blower and a Stihl trimmer in the back seat. They startled awake when an officer tapped on the window. The man started to cry when he was arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia. The drugs weren’t his. The woman tried to push the drug paraphernalia off her lap. She was arrested; the officer found what appeared to be heroin. But she told the officer it was brown sugar made to look like heroin. A girl had given her the fake heroin (bunk) to sell if she needed money. [ more BLOTTER page 12 ]

253-854-WOOF www.familydogonline.com Oxygen Is Often Overlooked Oxygen is the most abundant and most important nutrient in the body and is the most needed nutrient for cells to function. Oxygen is used by each cell to produce the energy molecule of every cell (ATP), which then drives the normal processes or metabolism of cells. Cells which are deprived of oxygen may lie dormant and eventually die. Oxygen deficiency is often overlooked, and therefore, it is not seen as a cause for many symptoms. Some of the symptoms of oxygen deficiency are listed below but not limited to the following: Premature aging Depression, anger, or sadness Memory loss and forgetfulness Sleeping disorders, drowsiness, or exhaustion Digestive disorders or acid stomach Excessive colds or infections Inflamed, swollen, or aching joints Muscle or tendon aches Headaches Fatigue Mild Hyperbarics is a safe and incredible source of increased oxygen The body normally transports oxygen via the red blood cells, by using the hyperbaric chamber, we greatly increase the partial pressure of oxygen, which then dissolves it into the plasma and other waterborne fluids of the body. Since the body is approximately 70% water and every cell literally bathes in water, we use the hyperbaric chamber to deliver oxygen to every tissue in the body. Oxygen is Our Greatest Energy Source A vital ingredient to health, vitality, physical stamina, and endurance is maintaining proper oxygen levels in the body. Oxygen is our primary
source of energy. It is the fuel required for the proper operation of all body systems. Oxygen is our Life Force. We can only live a few precious moments without oxygen. Ninety percent of our energy is produced using oxygen… only 10% comes from food alone. At mHyperbarics our mission and commitment to you is simple: 1. Provide you with extraordinary care in a comfortable environment for hyperbaric therapy, 2. Provide you with hyperbaric therapy that is finally affordable! We use the best and most trusted mild hyperbaric equipment. Our low-pressure hyperbaric chambers compress normal room air to 1.3 ATA, to achieve a tissue fluid Oxygen saturation of approximately 33 to 50 % increase. With these breakthroughs in portable, soft chamber technologies over the past decade, professional athletes have been taking advantage of the incredible healing power of non-hormonal and non-toxic, un-adulterated oxygen, for everything from joint inflammation, muscle fatigue, pre and post surgery, post concussion syndrome and just to gain that competitive advantage. The barrier for the rest of us has been the high price of a chamber, $15K to $25K, or treatment, $80 to $150 per one session. We decided to start mHyperbarics when we could commit to making hyperbaric treatment affordable. We are very excited, and have received extremely encouraging client feedback on the pricing we offer. Our single sessions start at $50 per one hour session and go as low as $30 with the purchase of multiple sessions. Please come visit us and …Begin Your Journey to Wellness

They had already smoked all the real heroin. Then there were the blower and trimmer in the back seat. She had driven the man and two others to an apartment complex on Maple Valley Highway, where the tools and other garden tools were stolen. The officer called dispatch; the apartment manager was calling 911 to report the stolen tools which all had ownership markings.
The two Renton residents were allowed to leave; the vehicle was seized as evidence. Both are known from prior contact with officers. THIS IS NOT THE DRIVE IN: A silver Toyota Camry caught the attention of a resident on South Tobin Street Dec. 1 at about 9:30 p.m. after it hadn’t moved for about two hours. She called police. An officer found a man and woman inside, watching a movie on a cellphone.
The officer checked for warrants, disMORE BLOTTER covering the man was wanted on one in Pierce County. A meet was arranged to turn over the 28-year-old Renton man to a Washington State Patrol trooper.
