Renton brothers charged in shooting BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
New seating areas by the floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the river proved a popular spot for readers of all ages to take a break and enjoy the new library during Saturday’s grand opening celebration.

New library draws big crowd, rave reviews
I
sbella Jones has been waiting a long time for the new, downtown Cedar River Library to open. Earlier this year, in fact, she was worried about possible delays in the opening and wanted to write a letter to express her concern. So when she finally got in and had a look around during this past Saturday’s grand opening and ribbon cutting event, what did she think? “Awesome,” said Jones, 10, adding that her favorite part is the new children’s section. “I think it’s awesome too,” said sister Jalana Jones, also 10. Her favorite part of the new library is the giant windows that overlook the river and she was excited to come back this fall and see the fish. The Jones sisters and their mother, Monique, were among the hundreds of residents who made their way to Liberty Park on Saturday for their first chance to get into the newly re-built library over the river. “Awesome” was the word of the day, among kids and adults as they finally got an opportunity to explore the city’s new library.

From the first person to check out a book, Marc Nordland, to the first person to use the self-check, Susan Chamberlain, “awesome” was on everyone’s lips. Born out of controversy over both site and scope, the new library, like the one before it, straddles the Cedar River and is adjacent to Liberty Park. The new building features floor-toceiling windows on the sides that face the river, offering views of the river below. “Florence, Venice and Renton,” said King County Library System Director Gary Wasdin during his brief remarks prior to the ribbon-cutting. Wasdin also said the Renton library would hold a special place in his heart as it is the first to open during his run as Director. Though Wasdin was hired by KCLS after most of the controversy had passed, the library director still addressed the matter, citing the community involvement as the reason the library was built in its current location. “We argue, we disagree and it isn’t always fun,” he said, “but it’s important.” Mayor Denis Law said the new library shows “how marvelous a library can truly be” by capturing the beauty of its surround[ more LIBRARY page 4 ]

An argument outside a grocery store in Skyway Aug. 12 led to the killing of a 21-year-old man who was shot at least eight times, according to King County prosecutors. A King County Sheriff ’s deputy applying pressure to his wounds asked Le-Maun Aubrey Lancaster Jr. who shot him. “It was Marque Fluker,” he answered, according to charging documents. Lancaster died at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle about three hours later. Two Renton brothers were charged Thursday in the shooting death of Lancaster at about 7:30 p.m. in the parking lot of Grocery Outlet, 11656 68th Ave. S. Their arraignment is Sept. 2 at the King County Jail in downtown Seattle. Marque Deandre Fluker, 23, was charged with second-degree murder. His brother, Jerry Allen Fluker, 27, was charged with first-degree rendering criminal assistance. [ more CHARGES page 4 ]

Though it was not the day or the ceremony she may have expected, Heather Airth’s wedding day was a special one in an unexpected way. The 19-year-old Kent resident and U.S. Coast Guardsman was scheduled to marry her high school sweetheart Zachary Hoydic on Sunday. But on Saturday, Airth was not feeling right and went to Valley Medical Center, where she was admitted. With Hoydic, a U.S. Marine headed back to the East Coast where he is stationed on Monday night, it looked like the couple’s wedding may have to be put on hold, which would have been a problem because Airth is pregnant and the couple would like the military to station them together in the future. “I was hoping I was just being little paranoid,” Airth said about going to Valley on Saturday. “But it didn’t turn out that way.” It turned out Airth had a kidney infection, which because of the pregnancy meant she was going to have to stay at Valley at least overnight. Which meant that plans to get married may have had to be scrubbed. But when Airth told the folks at Valley about the plans they had to cancel and asked if the chaplain could marry them, the hospital jumped into action. On Monday, when Airth was released and before Hoydic had to fly back to his base, she

Smith urges Salgado release U.S. Rep. Adam Smith on Friday released s statement calling for the release of Renton resident and naturalized U.S. citizen Nestora Salgado from the Mexican prison in which she is being held. “For two years, Nestora has been denied due process and justice by the Mexican government. It is entirely unacceptable that she remains imprisoned in conditions that threaten her life,” Smith said in a press release. Salgado was arrested in 2013 for her leadership in community police group in her hometown of Olinalá in the state of Guerrero, which has a long tradition of legally-recognized community self-defense groups. The Mexican government has also called for her release. Both Smith and Sen. Patty Murray have called on the U.S. State Department to bring attention to the case.

Ruthie Severance, whose three children were busy trying out all of the new seating areas, said her family has also been waiting for the opening and was glad the library remained at its unique location, especially now with larger windows. “We really love it,” she said. “I love how they opened up the windows so you can see the river.” Severance also said she liked how the new, more open interior plan allowed her to look across the room and find her kids easier. Monique Jones, mother of Isbella and Jalana, also said the more open interior was better for finding her girls and though she admitted the outside “is kind of strange-looking” she said the interior colors were nice and that she and the girls “love it.” “We’re going to start coming back now that it’s open,” she said.

The three did some shopping, then approached Lancaster and his friends. They talked for about five minutes until Lancaster and the third man in the Impala argued then fought. Marque Fluker and others tried to intervene, including Jerry Fluker, whom Lancaster punched. Marque Fluker immediately pulled a handgun from the back of his pants and repeatedly shot Lancaster from approximately five feet away, according to charging documents. After a short discussion outside the Impala, the Flukers and the third man got back inside the car and fled the scene with Jerry Fluker driving. During the autopsy, a medical examiner found 16 wounds in Lancaster’s hand, arm, legs, chest, torso and back. Based on the nature of the injuries, it appears he was shot at least eight times, according to prosecutors. Contact Dean A. Radford at 425-255-3484 ext. 5150.

We came by the opportunity to pick our fill of apples from the “Buy Nothing Renton Highlands” Facebook group. The group’s philosophy is about giving, sharing and community. Essentially, if you have something you no longer need and want to freely give to a neighbor in the community, you make a posting and people who want your free stuff respond (in our case we wanted the apples). The owners of the fruit trees couldn’t bear the idea of all the fruit falling to the ground and going to waste and invited a few neighbors onto their property, asking in return for a few jars of apple sauce or whatever was made with the apples and plums. This past Sunday we showed up at our neighbor’s house bearing four Mason jars filled with jam and the kids and I walked away with five bags of apples and a wonderful experience of picking and climbing the trees together.

Whenever I have gone on a diet, I have failed. Not a miserable failure mind you, but there was just one problem, and admittedly it was a biggun: I was unable to sustain, ummm, not eating. Besides, cooking and breaking bread with family and friends is one of the joys of my life. So not eating or cooking for my family feels a bit like the antithesis of living life to its fullest. If it were up to me the word “diet” should be eradicated from the planet. Diet to me usually means you have to give up eating the foods that made you squishy to begin with: no more cupcakes, spaghetti Bolognese, peanut butter cookies or fudgey chocolate cake. Which is why I prefer to call what I’ve been doing for the past four months my “healthy eating life plan.” It connotes focusing on habits and foods that are better for your body and soul and on not giving up anything. Diets always remind me of fads, anyway. And, with a few exceptions (like the Rubik’s Cube), generally, no good can come from fads. Which is why I have stayed away from quinoa. Obviously. Of course no one ever thinks that fads are annoying in the “hey day” of the fad, you just continue munching on that Kale-quinoa-turkey ball and say, “I’m Gluten Free.” It’s only afterward, when the fad becomes ridiculous and ironic that you realize the error of your ways. Besides, no one likes the person who suddenly changes their eating and exercise habits and then lords it over everyone else. Which is why if asked, I simply say, “healthy eating life plan” or to my foodie friends: “I was tired of feeling like a deep fried Twinkie and wishing to be a Petit fours.” These days I’m going for balance. Which means this time of year I still make my family’s favorite Back-to-School snacks like granola, chunky apple sauce and homemade honey’d peanut butter. Getting ready for school is always hectic as kids are both excited and nervous about their classes. For all of us, it feels like an opportunity for a fresh start AND it is literally the most organized I will feel all year. So between the mad dash of cleaning, school shopping and getting paperwork in order at school (I have one kid with asthma and tree nut allergy), the family took some time out to grab some free apples to stock up the pantry with my delicious Chunky Pippimamma Apple Sauce and Apple Butter.

Since I moved to Renton in early 2012, no issue has dominated the landscape like that of the Cedar River Library. I was not working for the Renton Reporter at that time and had no idea that within 18 months I would be editor of the paper (my wife, then-fiancee, and I were looking for a nice place to live with some urban amenities, close to the highways and didn’t make our commutes impossible; Renton was by far the best choice), but I, of course, read about the controversy and remember multiple groups knocking on my door that summer to discuss the upcoming location vote. I will be honest with you, I did not vote on the matter that August. I did not fully understand the issue - only the emotion on either side - and decided to simply stay out of the fray. What had happened was that the people had voted to turn control of the Renton Library over to the King County Library System and promised to build two replacement libraries in the process. Following that vote, the administration, the City Council and KCLS all began work on building a new building. As work progressed and word got out that the new library would be built downtown near the Piazza, voters who may not have understood exactly what they were approving became upset that their nearly one-of-a-kind building over the Cedar River would no longer be the library. The City Council responded to the outcry and agreed to place the issue on the ballot that August. The election was a landslide (76 percent), and a relatively unsurprising one in retrospect: The people wanted their iconic library over the river to remain an iconic library over the river. Period. It would cost a bit more than originally planned, but it simply did not matter. Renton’s library straddled the river and the people wanted it to stay that way. Thanks to them - the Save the Cedar River Library group in particular - it did. And we, as a city, owe those outspoken and dedicated people a debt of gratitude. I have remained silent on the specifics of the votes and tried to stay off-record on the opinion questions, but now that all is said and done, let’s go on record saying THANK YOU to the people who would not let the issue go in 2012. Not only did we get the brand, new 21st century library we so badly needed, but we were able to keep it right where it should be: in an iconic, one-of-a-kind location that we’d never get approval to build on these days. This library is a gift from those groups to people like me, my wife, our future children [ more EDITOR page 7 ]
Take time to prepare for the Big One I’ve often said that when it comes to disasters, “Renton is in a sweet spot.” Whenever we’ve had big storms, we have done well. Our Public Works Department does a great job keeping our main roads clear during the winter, the Cedar River hasn’t had major flooding in years, and the last moderate earthquake in recent memory was the Nisqually quake in 2001. I feel pretty lucky to live here in Renton. So if, like me, you read “The Really Big One” article in the New Yorker back in July, you may have been jolted by that graphic description of our mega-earthquake risk.

Safe When the Big One Comes.” I’d rather know what I can do about a risk than simply read the scary details of how bad it’s going to be. What came through loud and clear in those two articles was that the consequences of a major earthquake are too significant to leave preparedness to chance. For years now the City of Renton has been working on that and preparing for “The Big One.” A big regional earthquake exercise in June next year, “Cascadia Rising,” will put all that planning to the test. Government preparation alone is not enough, though. Every September, in conjunction with National Preparedness Month, the city’s Ready in Renton campaign emphasizes a basic emergency preparedness message: make a plan, build [ more READY page 7]

Miller Hall Architects, with the assistance of KCLS, has raped the citizens of Renton at the expense of $5 million a year in taxes, all for a compromised library renovation/rebuild over the Cedar River, which Nicola Robinson of Renton bravely and accurately described in the July 31 edition of the Renton Reporter as (in summation of her remarks) an architectural disaster. A friend of mine said it looked like a giant toaster. He was more generous in his remarks than I. A mausoleum
would have been more inviting a structure. In fact, the library’s dull, stainless steel exterior slabs remind me of public outhouse buildings that can be found in some state parks and roadside rest areas. It’s “potty” architecture is nothing but a vulgar expletive of a building directed at the citizens of Renton for fighting to keep their beloved library over the river. Its utilitarian artlessness and lifelessness is more a reflection of Stalinist Russian than the vibrant community of Renton. I am not looking forward to seeing more of this disaster when the interior will be dis-
played for all to see on the day of its opening. The mayor has funded a barbecue for its public inauguration. But then, meals are also appropriate at funerals. Additionally, Moms, the safety cables of the railing along the walk-bridge, which is the likes of a gunboat gunwale, can be easily stretched to create enough space for a child to squeeze through, never mind the pavement sloping downward to the middle of the walkway...good for sailing toy boats or braking a hip over when the weather permits.

The artwork on the Renton Municipal Airport’s new blast fence was recently completed. Portraying the images of a B-1 seaplane, a 737 and a 707, three planes built in Renton, the art is designed to evoke the past, present and future of the aviation industry. According to airport officials, Renton’s blast fence is the longest multi-dimension curved blast fence in the world. BRIAN BECKLEY, Renton Reporter

a kit, help each other. When everyone does what they can to prepare, it reduces the risk of injury and loss for individuals while also lessening the load on emergency responders when disaster strikes. Maybe you’re one of those people who has taken all the right steps. You have tested a communication plan with your household members, you know where to get emergency information, you have collected some emergency supplies in case you need to hunker down or evacuate, and you are prepared to help your neighbors, too. Great! So spread the word! Tell them about the Community Emergency Response Team training (http://rentonwa.gov/cert) starting on Sept. 22 so they can learn how to help their neighbors in an emergency. Do a show-and-tell with your emergency supplies. Get them talking about how they plan to deal with an emergency. If you haven’t begun to prepare yet, I get it. I really do. It is natural to procrastinate and it’s hard to prioritize something that may or may not happen tomorrow, especially when you don’t see bad things happening on a regular basis. But it is just a matter of time before our community deals with some kind of major emergency of our own. What you do today to prepare will increase your safety and well-being, and that of your loved ones – pets included. You don’t have to go big all at once. Start this weekend by doing just three small things: 1) Go to http://makeitthrough.org/earthquake/ or leave a message at 425-4307054 to get more information about earthquakes and general emergency preparedness; 2) Set aside several gallons of water in clean, unbreakable containers along with some nonperishable snacks for the start of your emergency stash; 3) Talk to your loved ones about how you will communicate and share emergency information if phones aren’t working. Then give yourself a pat on the back. It’s a start. Often the hardest part is just getting started. And when enough of us do it, when everyone does even a little bit, it goes a long way in helping us all get through The Big One together.
[ EDITOR from page 6] and everyone who moves to this city in the future. There was a second fight, however, following the August 2012 location vote. A group of citizens taking up a similar moniker made it their mission to try and save the original building, modern necessities and conveniences be darned. Those people, I have to say, were 100 percent wrong. The original building was a barn. It was ugly. It was boring. It was bland. It was inefficient and did not have the power and HVAC necessary for the needs of modern library patrons. And did I mention it was ugly? (Yes, that’s just an opinion, but I live here too.) The new building is gorgeous, despite what you may have read in our letters section. Though a slightly smaller footprint than the original building, the inside feels more open due to a different floor plan, higher ceilings and less behind-the-scenes equipment and offices. There are also fewer shelves and books housed in the building than in the previous library, a valid criticism of the new building, but access to the larger KCLS system means they are probably available, just not immediately. Yes, the ceiling has exposed wiring and pipes, but I don’t mind, In fact, to me, it has a much more modern sensibility. I like the exposed aesthetic and seeing some of the industrial bits - as long as they are out of the way, of course. And the windows! Oh, the windows!

Along the both of the sides that face the river, the new building has floor-to-ceiling glass windows that let in a tremendous amount of natural light as well as provide amazing view of both the river below and the overall cool setting and location of the library. I know people were upset to see the old building go, but there is not a doubt in my mind it was the right thing, especially after attending the opening on Saturday and seeing all of the people - especially the kids - press themselves up against the new windows to enjoy the view. This really is the best of both worlds: We got a brand, new beautiful library (which we desperately needed) and yet managed to keep it in the location that made it iconic. That’s a win-win. So Kudos to those who fought to keep the library where it is and kudos to the engineers and designers who brought us this modern beauty. And judging by the smiles I saw on the kids on Saturday, Renton’s future thanks you as well.

Harvest veggies, celebrate color THE COMPLEAT HOME GARDENER
Marianne Binetti
The last week in August is time to harvest squash, tomatoes and beans, cut back perennials such as daisies and daylilies that have past their prime and continue to water and fertilize potted plants and annuals in the garden. This is also the time to celebrate the shrubs that offer late summer color. Hardy Hibiscus or Rose of Sharon Hibiscus is an old fashioned favorite that is enjoying a new popularity due to the improvement in hardiness and the size of the blooms. August is when this heat tolerant shrub puts on a spectacular show of color just when the rest of the garden may be winding down for the season. Your grandmother probably called this
shrub the Rose of Sharon but nurseries now know it as Hibiscus moecheutos or perennial hibiscus. The compact Luna series grows just 3 feet tall with huge blooms that can be six inches wide. The Disco series of hardy hibiscus grows even more compact at two feet tall and is perfect for patio pots. These shrubby dwarf hibiscus plants will survive our winters in Western Washington. There is also a tall shrub form of hardy hibiscus or hibiscus mutabilis called the Confederate Rose in the south. This shrub can become a small tree and in my garden it has survived the wind and cold of Enumclaw for more than 20 years and has grown to 15 feet tall and 8 feet wide. I grow a purple clematis through the branches of this huge hibiscus so that the white and red hibiscus blooms can comingle with the violet blooms of the Etoile Violette clematis. The garden gossip about all the hardy hibiscus is how naked this plant can be for six months out of the year. It will

Japanese maples These small leaf maples from Japan are called Acer palmatum to describe the palm-shaped leaves with five separate lobes. Many choices in leaf color, growth habit and foliage texture make the Japanese Maple one of the most beloved plants to use in Western Washington landscapes. Near the end of August when many plants are looking tired and seedy, the Japanese maples will be starting to color up and put on their annual fall show. This is the month to search out the most attractive varieties and shapes for a new or newly improved landscape. If you plant a Japanese maple near ornamental grasses or sedum ‘Autumn Joy’ you’ll have a late summer display that will look great into the fall season even if you forget to water.

be the first of your shrubs to drop leaves in the fall and the last to sprout new foliage in the spring, sometimes waiting until May to show signs of life. Allowing a vine like clematis to use hibiscus as a lattice helps to clothe these bare branches in spring. Smooth Hydrangeas These are the hydrangeas native to the Eastern United States from north to New York and South to Florida. This means they can handle the cold and the heat better than the more traditional big leaf hydrangea macrophylla that have blue balls of bloom. The Smooth hydrangeas have smaller leaves that are a gray green color and some varieties like the creamy white ‘Incrediball’ and the ‘Annabelle’ hybrids have gigantic blooms that can be one foot wide and have held up better in hot weather than other hydrangeas, but you need to prune these shrubs in early spring to keep the stems short enough to support the super-size flowers. There is also a variety of smooth hydrangea that always flowers in the pink no matter how acid the soil. The Invicibelle Spirit II is an adaptable native shrub with blooms that

Tied up and robbed at gunpoint BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
An elderly woman visiting from Oregon Aug. 1 was tied up, held at gunpoint and robbed by four men in masks at a home of Stevens Avenue Southwest. The 69-year-old woman was grabbed by the men as she got out of her car at about 1:30 a.m. They tied her hands and ankles together, grabbed her from behind and held her mouth and pressed a handgun against her head.
They demanded her money and the keys to the residence. They then fled with about $600 and her drivers license. A K9 unit couldn’t locate the robbers. The victim was treated by medics. Small red tie straps were wrapped around her ankles. SHOT WITH BBS: A 25-yearold Renton man was shot multiple times in the back early on Aug. 2 with a BB gun, including by a man who refused repeatedly to get off the back of his car. The victim and a friend were sitting inside his car at a gas station on Northeast Sunset Boulevard. He asked the man sitting

on his car to get off; instead, the suspect asked him “why?” The victim answered: “I don’t want you sitting on my car. This isn’t a chill-out spot.” As he attempted to push the man off his car, the victim felt rapid fire shots hitting his back. The victim fled, but the gunfire continued, perhaps also from a second shooter. When the shooting stopped, the victim ran back to his car and the shooters ran west on Sunset. He recognized two of the men. The officer counted eight holes in the victim’s back at Fire Station 12, which he drove to get help. He was taken to Valley Medical
NO JOY IN THIS RIDE: A 21-year-old Seattle man was hit in the head twice by two men at about 10:30 p.m. July 31 as he climbed into his car and who then took his keys, two phones and his car. Two women got into the stolen car, which the victim then chased in car driven by a witness to the assault. The two suspects, along with two women, parked the car and fled on foot. One man waved the victim’s keys in front of him as they ran off. Fingerprints were taken from
the car, which was taken in the 1200 block of Bronson Way North. LOOK A GIFT CARD IN THE MOUTH: “Tee” wanted the cash, rather than the Nordstrom and Macy gift cards he received for his birthday, so he put them up for sale on offerup.com. A Renton woman met him at a business on South Grady Way on July 27, verified the cards and then withdrew $600 from her bank. Moments after the exchange, she got a call from Nordstrom, which indicated the gift card was being held because of a payment issue. She later found out the card wasn’t good at all. She called the seller, who at first declined to take the calls, then eventually said she had the wrong person.

A long road to the senior center’s coffee bar BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
It’s a long way from her days as a real-life Rosie the Riveter, but for nearly 15 years, Grace Hanson has been managing the small coffee shop at the Renton Senior Center. “I enjoy it,” Hanson said this week from behind a counter piled with goodies. “I think it’s the people. The people are very friendly, very nice.” Hanson’s journey from Bismark, N.D., to barista in Renton has been a busy one, and Senior Center director Shawn Daley said Hanson has helped change the back room of the center from a little-used spot, even on busy days, to one that is often packed with people. “That room used to be a rarely-used room. We had a jigsaw puzzle in it,” Daly said. But that changed several years ago with the opening of the Center’s small coffee bar, and Hanson has been a major part of that transformation. “People love her, that’s the bottom line,” Daly said. “She just brings love to the building.” Hanson started her coffee career on a lark. She was just sitting at one of the center’s tables one day about 15 years ago when the gentleman who ran the counter before her asked if she could fill in while he went to a doctor’s appointment. “I didn’t know anything about it,” she said, but never one to be scared of new things, Hanson waded in by herself and figured it all out. Soon after, the man behind the counter began asking her to cover more and more often and before she knew it, the counter was hers to run. Along with coffee, the little shop also serves some goodies, usually donated from Panera Bread or Starbucks, an addition that Hanson said made a big difference because the coffee alone was a little “boring.” In fact, she said that when Panera offered, she just said “yes” without going
to the higher-ups at the center. “That went over really well,” Hanson said. Hearing her story, however, it is not surprising that Hanson knows a thing or two about selling. Her husband, Art, was a professional salesman and the couple used to own a shop in Wyoming and in North Dakota. Hanson’s tale began in Bismark, North Dakota, where she worked at the state captial. It was a desk job and she hated it, telling her mother at the time that was either going to have to start smoking or start drinking in order to deal with all the sitting around. Soon after, her brother, who had moved to Western Washington, invited her out and Hanson jumped at the chance, though there was not a whole lot of work at the time. “I ended up tagging Christmas trees,” she said with a laugh. Hanson went back to the Dakotas and found another job, but said she didn’t even work there a year because a friend had moved to Seattle and
told her about possible work with Boeing. “So, back to my brother again,” she said. For more than two years during World War II, Hanson worked as a riveter, just like the iconic symbol of 1940s feminism, Rosie. After the war, Hanson again returned home to North Dakota and took a job at Montgomery Ward, where she met Art, a salesman. The couple fell in love, got married and she quit her job. Soon after, Art was transferred to Montana and then later to Casper City, Wyo. In Casper, the couple decided to open their own business, so Art quit his job and the pair opened their own shop. But soon after, they packed up and moved back to North Dakota again, where they also ran their own store. When news came out that a highway was planned through their town, an investor showed up and the couple sold off the store and the inventory and moved back to the Seattle area. It was 1989. Somewhere around the year 2000, the couple found their way to the Renton Senior Activity Center and began coming regularly. Unfortunately, Art fell ill in the early part of this century and died in December 2005. Since then, Hanson has thrown her energy into the coffee shop. In the beginning, Daly worried he was using Hanson too much, but she wanted more responsibility and these days, she’s even at the center before he is to begin making the coffee and getting the goodies prepped. “Gracie is one-in-a-million,” he said. “She just sort of takes charge down there.” Daly said the center’s coffee shop, thanks in part to Hanson, has been a great success and provides a place for seniors, especially the men, to just gather and shoot the breeze. “And if we don’t have that smiling face and those welcoming people, they’re going to leave,” he said.
