Kent Police arrest East Hill rape suspect BY STEVE HUNTER
The Kent City Council will have two new members in January with Bill Boyce and Dana Ralph cruising to victories in Tuesday’s election. Boyce is easily beating incumbent Debbie Raplee with 58.6 percent of the vote for Position No. 5 through Tuesday night. Ralph leads Michael Sealfon with 62.1 percent of the vote for Position No. 7 to replace Ron Harmon, who decided against running for a third term. Incumbent Deborah Ranniger withstood challenger Bailey Stober as she had 66.8 percent of the vote for Position No. 1. Incumbent Les Thomas had 59.4 percent of the vote against challenger Nancy Skorupa for Position No. 3. Ranniger and Thomas each were reelected to their third, four-year terms. Boyce, a Boeing human resource analyst who has served 17 years on the Kent School Board, plans to resign from his school director position in early 2012.

Taking a personal approach to learning BY SARAH KEHOE skehoe@kentreporter.com
Guadalupe Martinez struggled in school until her principal and eighth-grade teacher visited her home. “It changed me,” Martinez said. “I felt bad that at school I didn’t do well. It made me want to do better.” Mill Creek Middle School Principal Antonio Morales started “home visits,” talking to students and parents at their places earlier this summer. The point of the visits are to get parents involved in their child’s education and discuss available learning opportunities at school, Morales

Kent Police arrested a 15-yearold boy Monday for investigation of two counts of first-degree rape and first-degree kidnapping in connection with attacks on a 17-year-old girl and 19-year-old woman Oct. 29-30 on the East Hill. Officers arrested the boy about noon Monday at Kentwood High School in Covington. The boy is a Kentwood student, according to probable cause documents. He was taken into custody without incident. In the first case, a 19-year-old woman was accosted at about 10 p.m. Oct. 29 in the 12900 block of Kent Kangley Road. The second incident occurred at around 7:30 p.m. Oct. 30 in the 26200 block of 116th Avenue Southeast, just north of the Kent Kangley Road. In each case, a boy approached [ more ARREST page 4 ]
“If the parents know what their child is studying and how well they are doing, they will be able to help them with homework and encourage them the right way,” Morales said. David Sanchez was skeptical when Morales knocked on his door. “It was scary,” said Sanchez, a seventh-grade student. “But it was good. I was so glad Mr. Morales was talking about all the school information to me because I had forgotten most of it from the first week.” Morales wants the home visits to inspire parents to volunteer at school. “I want to connect with our parents and show them what they can do to participate in our school, because we need their support,” he said. “The school belongs to the public; it’s not mine. So I want the parents and children to let us know what they need in order to learn.” In addition to student performance, Morales and [ more LEARNING page 11 ]

Kentridge musical teaches acceptance, love BY SARAH KEHOE skehoe@kentreporter.com
The fall musical at Kentridge High School is meant to do more than just entertain the audience. “This play more than any other play I’ve done in high school, sends a message to the audience,� said Elizabeth Rodland, senior.�It tells our school and our community that there is no such thing as normal; that we need to look for the best in ourselves and make the most of the life we are given.� “Side Show� uses a sad story to teach the importance of acceptance, humanity and love. It is the true account of the lives of Daisy and Violet Hilton, Siamese twins born in Eng-

land in 1908. The girls were sold by their mother to an enterprising woman who exploited the girls from birth. Considered “freaks� from the time they were born and exposed to abuse, the women not only survived, but pushed hard to make their dream of performing on stage come true. “The thing that really stuck out to me was how individual each woman was,� said Rodland, who plays Violet. “They were strong and had such big dreams, but it was hard for them to get what they wanted out of life because they were stuck together.� Director Jenny Grajewski selected “Side Show� because she felt it would
help students relate to each other better. In a survey conducted of students last spring, only 38 percent felt they were respected by their peers at school. “In talking to kids about this disturbing statistic, I found that they truly did not understand that being the diverse school we are becoming is a gift and that everyone has the potential for being a valuable member of our community,� Grajewski said. “Kids were judging each other on the color of their skin, financial status, the clothes they wear and a multitude of other things. I often hear kids talking about what is ‘normal;’well I ask that same question what is ‘normal?’�

While preparing for the show, the cast watched documentaries on American side shows and the different people that were part of that form of entertainment. The student actors also explored issues around the American Disabilities Act (ADA) and what it means to protect people who may be harmed in some way because of the way they were born. “We all have been wearing shirts that say, ‘who will love me as I am?’ This gets the point across to students in our high school that we are all unique and there is a little bit of a freak in everyone,� Rodland said. The serious subject of the play proved emotional for the cast at times. “During rehearsal, there was a scene I did with my siamese twin and we both just got really caught up in it and started crying,� Rodland said. “I think we all just really believe in the script and what it represents.� The cast of 25 students spent three hours on the weekdays at practice and up to 12 hours on the weekends. They made the hard work fun by doing warm up dances before rehearsal and going out to eat together after. “I’ve done theatre since my freshman year and the reason I’ve continued to do it is because your cast mates

James Manning wanted to offer some direction to young men at Kentwood High School. He wasn’t sure exactly how he was going to do it or which students he would work with, but, Manning was determined to find a way. What started out as a desire to be a mentor on Manning’s part has developed into a self-sustaining mentorship program for boys and girls at Kentwood known as CHOICES. “I’m kind of reflective,” Manning said. “I have five kids of my own. So, all these kids were coming into my house… I was wondering if any of those boys were like me. I was a boy who lost his father at 15.” As he transitioned from adolescence to manhood, Manning said, he didn’t have a strong male figure to offer direction “but I was lucky to have a strong mother.” As a 20 year veteran of the Seattle Police Department, Manning knows what happens to young men, especially young black men, who don’t have that kind of guidance in their lives. As a dad, he has a child who graduated from Kentwood and two who are
going to school there now. “I went up to Kentwood High School and I talked to one of the administrators there and asked if I could just come up there and just talk to (students),” Manning said. He was connected initially with students whose biggest worries were how a B might effect their high GPAs and Manning said he was looking for something different. Joe Potts, who was an assistant principal at Kentwood then and is now principal at Kentlake, pulled Manning aside. “He said, ‘James, I’ve got these 10 African American boys, they need some help.’ I said, when can I start?,” Manning said. “I wanted these boys to graduate on time and that was really important to Joe, too. I was looking at the kid that is going to be on the bubble, that possibly needed a push in the right direction and that’s exactly what (Potts) gave me.” As things began to fall into place, Manning said, he did some research and discovered that 40 percent of black boys graduate from high school and “more African American men are getting their diplomas or GEDs in prison.” What mattered most to
Kentwood students meet during a summer leadership camp for upperclassmen participating in the school’s CHOICES mentoring program. Photo courtesy of Clifford Crawford Manning in the beginning was consistency. “I didn’t want to just do it for one or two years,” he said. “My son was a sophomore, so, what I said is, ‘I’ll give you two more years after my youngest son graduates.’ I knew if I gave that commitment it would really start happening.” Shaun Martin, an assistant principal at Kentwood, met Manning last year. Martin, a native of Tennessee, moved to Washington state from Baltimore so he was quite familiar with what Manning was talking about. “After we talked we connected pretty quickly after my experiences in Baltimore,” Martin said. “James was coming every other week just to mentor these guys… giving them skills and strategies to improve not just their academics but
their social skills, how they communicated with their parents and their teachers.” A year ago Martin and Manning increased the number of students in the program from 10 to nearly 20. “We started brainstorming how to make this more effective rather than him coming in randomly on Friday mornings,” Martin said. “We came up with a protocol of him meeting with the kids, looking a their grades. After working with some of the guys we decided this could become a mentorship program where the guys who were becoming upperclassmen could turn around in mentoring incoming freshmen.” As the program grew, Manning worried he might be unable to keep up. So
the idea of taking older boys who had been in the program for a while and developing their skills as mentors made sense. “I said, ‘How about we do some kind of thing in the summer?’ and that’s how the three day leadership camp came together,” Manning said. “Watching these young men, these upperclassmen working with the freshmen, that’s been amazing this year. Both sides are learning.” Martin described the three-day camp as “a really cool event.” “We wanted to make this a leadership program so the guys who went through the mentorship with James, we wanted to build up their [ more CHOICES page 10 ]

Barbee trial date moves, burglary suspect caught BARBEE COURT CASE IN KENT FOR PROMOTING PROSTITUTION CONTINUED TO NOV. 14 BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com
The trial date has been continued until Nov. 14 for Shacon Fontane Barbee, the Seattle man arrested in Kent and charged with promoting prostitution, leading organized crime, promoting sexual abuse of a minor and other charges. Kent Police arrested Barbee, 32, Dec. 3 near a Kent hotel. Barbee’s trial had been scheduled to start Nov. 7. The initial trial date was Sept. 19. Attorneys from either side can ask the court for more time to prepare a case. Defendants also sometimes enter a plea shortly before the trial starts. Barbee allegedly made at least $192,000 as a pimp during one eight-month period, according to charging papers filed against Barbee in July by King County prosecutors. A then 19-year-old prostitute told detectives that she earned about $2,000 per week mainly from working along Pacific Highway

Initial reports identified the suspect as a light-skinned black male about 18 or 19 years old, about 5 feet 8 inches tall with a slender build. As the investigation moved forward, information about the 15 year old came to the attention of detectives from several sources and eventually led to the boy’s arrest. “We are extremely happy to have this suspect in custody,� said Kent Police Lt.

Kangley Road that showed the boy and the 19-yearold woman as they walked back behind the south end of the building and turned left out of camera view. A short while later, the video showed the two again as they walked back from where they came toward Kent Kangley Road. The boy was riding an orange BMX bicycle directly behind the woman. When officers interviewed the boy, he told them he was a Kentwood student but had been expelled the prior week for fighting. He told police he used to have an orange bike, but it had been stolen. The officer noted that the boy had a white bicycle that appeared reddish orange underneath the white paint. Police investigators will continue to sort through the physical evidence and statements collected during the past week. The boy is being held in the King County Juvenile Detention Center in Seattle. Charges are expected to be filed this week by the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office against
the boy. A King County Juvenile Court judge found probable cause Tuesday to detain the boy until next Monday, said Ian Goodhew, spokesman for the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, in an email. Prosecutors are expected to make a filing decision on charges by Thursday, Nov. 10. Because the boy is 15, charges will first be handled in Juvenile Court. Prosecutors can request the Juvenile Court to decline the case and send it to King County Superior Court to try an individual as an adult, but the decision is a discretionary one made by the court. Under Washington State law, an offender alleged to have committed a crime of rape is automatically in adult court if they are 16-17 years old, Goodhew said. The boy turns 16 in March.

Kent Police arrested a man for investigation of provoking assault and obstructing an officer after he fought another man along the street at about 4:54 p.m. Nov. 4 in the 6800 block of South 194th Place, just off the West Valley Highway. An officer fired a Taser and used pepper spray in order to detain one of the men after he refused to go to the ground, according to the police report. The incident reportedly started on a Metro bus ride from Seattle when one of the men was being loud and unruly toward other passengers in an effort to get into a fight with somebody. The two men are apparently casual acquaintances. When the two got off the bus along the West Valley Highway, the one man told the other one, “You’re gonna fight me. This is how we do it in the hood.” The two argued before the man who wanted to start a fight tackled the other man. The two fought each other and the man who was attacked told officers he landed about six or seven punches to the man’s face. A nearby witness saw the fight and stepped between the two men to stop it. When the first police officer arrived, she ordered the man who wanted to keep fighting to go to the ground, but he refused to cooperate. When the officer pulled out her Taser and told the man to get down to the ground, the man replied, “Go ahead, Tase me,” and took a step toward the officer. The officer shot him with two darts, one to the stomach and one to the chest. The darts failed to stop him. “Is that all you got?” he said to the officer. The officer then sprayed him in the face
with pepper spray. That caused the man to stumble back and grab his face. He leaned on the hood of the patrol car but refused to put his arms at his side as commanded by the officer, who then used her flashlight to strike the man in the arm. The man then gave up and a second officer arrived to help handcuff him. After checking the identities of both men, police arrested the second man for a state Department of Corrections warrant for violation of the uniform controlled substance act.

False report shuts down Kent-Meridian BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com
Kent School District officials locked down KentMeridian High School for about a half-hour at 10:15 a.m. Tuesday after a report of a man carrying a gun near French Field, the stadium next to the school. The incident turned out to be a false report. Kent Police searched near the school and French Field but did not find anyone with a gun, said Kent Police Lt. Pat Lowery.

Assault
Officers arrested a man for investigation of fourth-degree assault after he reportedly put his hands around his wife’s neck and forced her onto a couch at about 4:45 a.m. Nov. 2 at an apartment in the 11000 block of Southeast Kent Road. Officers saw the man grab the woman as they watched through an apartment window, according to the police report. Police responded to a call of a man and woman yelling at each other. The officers heard the argument as they arrived at the apartment. They tried to kick in the front door when they saw the man grabbing the woman, but were unable to break the door. When officers demanded that someone come to the door, the man ordered his wife to a back room and eventually came out of the apartment with his hands in the air and was taken into custody. The wife refused to give a statement to the officers other than “He makes all the money, I’m just a housewife.”
French Field, so the officials put the school in lockdown until officers checked the area. When police could not get an answer on the unregistered cellphone number that placed the 911 call, they concluded it was a false report, said Chris Loftis, Kent School District spokesman, in an email. “The lockdown was lifted and things returned to normal quite quickly,” Loftis said. School district officials sent out the following phone message by autodialer to Kent-Meridian homes after the incident: “Hello, student safety is our number one responsibility at the Kent School
District and we wanted to inform you of a false report that still caused alarm at our school today (Tuesday). Today we received reports of a man in the French Field area with a weapon. The school immediately went into lockdown and police were called. The police responded very quickly and after a thorough search, found no one suspicious and concluded the report was false. The lockdown was then lifted. At no point was any student, staff, or visitor in danger but as a courtesy to concerned family and community members we wanted to inform you of this event. The regular school schedule has not been effected.”

Looking for budget solutions How would you overcome our state’s budget challenges? Washington, like nearly every other state in the country, is still feeling the economic drag that’s resulted from the worst recession our nation has seen since the 1930’s. Heading into the 2011 session last January, the legislature faced a $5.1 billion budget hole for 2011-13 biennium. Before we adjourned, we passed a bipartisan budget that not only filled that gap but also spent nearly $750 million less that the experts predicted we would collect in revenue during the next two years. But, against the expectations of the state’s revenue forecast council, our state has still not turned the corner toward a full recovery and we are once again facing a significant budget shortfall. Governor Gregoire has called a special session of the legislature for November 28 in order to address this problem. We are already working on options for filling the hole as budget leaders from both parties, including myself, go through the two-year budget again, line-
everywhere. It is within us all. From what I can tell, the U.S. government is not looking closely at the allegations of election fraud in Nicaragua. I understand the federal government has many hot spots to deal with in the world. I plan to try and look into allegations of election fraud and the threats to the best of my ability. It may not seem to matter to our region. Nicaragua is a far from the Puget Sound, but constitutional freedom is hard to win and very easy to lose. It only takes inattention and a willingness to accept the easy way.

The process is going to be tough and painful because, after three straight years of deep cuts in vital services including public schools, higher education, nursing homes, and public safety, we don’t have a lot of options left. Here are just a handful of the major cuts we took earlier this year: $1.2 billion for I-728 and I-732, the classroom size and teacher pay initiatives $535 million for higher education institutions (offset partly with increased tuition revenue) $344 million in pension reductions $215 million from elimination of K-4 class size enhancement $179 million in K-12 employee salaries $177 million in state employee salaries $129 million from changes to Basic Health Plan $116 million from eliminating Disability Lifeline cash grants $97 million from long term care and developmentally disabled services Every one of those cuts hurt people in communities all across the state. But, unlike Washington DC, here in this Washington we have to balance our budget every year. While Congress fights and fusses over the debt limit, further eroding already lack-luster consumer confidence, in this Washing-
ton we don’t borrow money to pay our operating expenses. So we are going to have to find even more cuts – close to $2 billion more. So, I want to know what you think. What services do you think the state should continue to provide? What should simply be eliminated? The legislature passed millions of dollars in government reforms last session, including revamping worker’s compensation, consolidating agencies, and implementing pension changes. What additional reforms would you suggest? Should new revenue, possibly by closing existing tax loopholes, be part of the solution? I am holding a district-wide teletown hall meeting at 6 p.m. next Wednesday, Nov. 16. We are calling households directly, offering you the option to join the conversation. However, if you don’t get called for some reason, please call us at 1-877-2298493 and enter 18646. You can also send me your suggestions at Sullivan.pat@leg.wa.gov, or call my office at 360-7867858. Rebalancing our budget and reigniting our economy is a huge challenge and it’s vitally important that we are respectful of all ideas, no matter where they come from. It’s going to take the best efforts of the whole state, pulling together, to reach a responsible, balanced solution to the current budget crisis and to emerge from this economic crisis with the kind of Washington we want to live in. I look forward to hearing from you.

the information presented to me about the election fraud and persecution of opposition forces in Nicaragua. This is a difficult story for me. Corroboration is very challenging. There are complex issues involved and I am not familiar with many of the inside details. I am not in a position to go to Nicaragua and work on a story like I would do in this country. But I believe all of us as Americans should be concerned about a story like this. It is critically important because the potential for tyranny exists

Question of the week:
America once again went to the polls Tuesday and participated in one of the most sacred rights of a democracy. Voting for the candidates without fear of threats or violence from those in power. The last few days I learned about a different election story. Daniel Ortega was re-elected Sunday as president of Nicaragua. According to the news reports he won by more than 60 percent for his second term. Nicaraguan government sources reported the election was transparent and free from intimidation. My source, who I must keep unidentified because of fears for safety, described a much different story from connections in Nicaragua. I was shown pictures of ballots being destroyed. My source, who has connections to the Puget Sound region, brought forward detailed information of election fraud by the Sandinistas. That was just the beginning. There have been threats sent to my source. The source has reported pro-democracy Nicaraguans have been killed. This is serious stuff and it is only the surface of

Occupy protests have a purpose I was very surprised and disappointed to see the editorial drawing that appeared in your October 21 issue. It depicts the Occupy
Wall Street protesters as blaming everyone but themselves for their grievances. The piece seems to intentionally miss the real point and appears to be designed to mislead rather than enlighten your readers on what the movement is about. At its core, and in contrast to
your portrayal of the issues behind the movement, it’s about the unfairness now inherent in our political and financial systems which have been hijacked by corporations and the very wealthy. Corporations are legal constructs, not people. If you doubt this, when was the last time
a corporation went to jail for any crime it’s committed? It’s come to the point that if a person robs a store he or she goes to jail, but if a corporation robs the whole country, it gets a bailout. [ more LETTER page 7 ]

is located in the heart of the aerospace industry. This is not a pattern that one would suggest for the prosperity of South Puget Sound, and it should be mentioned that surrounding school districts aren’t doing any better. Employers looking for promising new hires from our school systems learn that they can’t be found in most cases. OK, what should we do? Notice that it is “we,” not someone else. A look at attendance at local school board meetings would suggest that there isn’t a “we!” This is our major problem, lack of adult concern about what is happening in our schools. Part of this problem rests with our school boards. They don’t seem to want to engage in any two-way discussions about education, certainly if the discussion has any connotations that improvements are needed. Visiting school districts that have higher achievement levels than those of South Puget Sound, one tends to find that the adults in those communities are far more interested in improving the education of their community’s children. Perhaps this is the case because many of these school boards hold candid discussions with their constituents. What I tend to find as I attend school board meetings in South Puget Sound is a “PR” event where, as I put it, they “Pour Maple Syrup on Lutefisk.” They cite accomplishments of a very few, while neglecting to even discuss what material steps they could take to increase the accomplishment of the majority. Improving our schools, and therefore our communities, is going to take the involvement of far more people and a tolerance for critical discussions about educating children. There are places in this world where education has a much higher priority than in South Puget Sound. The results of this should alarm even those who are sitting in front of their flat screens. CHARLES HOFF
COMMENTARY
This past week the National Assessment of Educational Progress put out its annual report on the achievement levels of fourth and eighth graders in this nation. This assessment is done by taking a random sample of students from each state; local school districts have been involved in the past, comparing them to previous year’s achievement. The news this year isn’t much different than in past years. They figure about 35 percent of kids are “proficient” in mathematics. When we compare our nation’s students to students in other countries, we tend to be, depending upon what measurement, somewhere in the 20 to 30th place when compared to the rest of the developed world. I believe that there three possible reasons for this. Is it the genetics? If so I don’t think there is much hope. Is it the water? There are school districts in this country that seem to do quite well on most assessments. Perhaps we could get a truckload of water every week from them. Or is it the will? As a former school board member in South Puget Sound, I would have to suggest that “will” was hard to find. One superintendent, when discussing possible measures to change achievement levels, stated, “Our community isn’t ready for this.” Sadly the rest of the world seems to be “ready” for much of what probably needs to happen to prepare our children for the 21st Century. A look at the minutes of local school board meetings would tend to confirm that it is “business as usual,” with the usual complaints and blame upon either Olympia or the feds for lack of funding, while the districts continue to spend vast sums on distractions, entertainment and disruptions that our international rivals consider to be absurdities. Attempts to change the system, which most agree isn’t working, are not mentioned very often in the school board minutes. In fact I have now seen two documentaries in Europe on the American high school, which they consider as fascinating as we might see the raising of lesser bandicoots While there is general agreement that education, beyond high school, is almost mandatory for success, this state is 42nd in the nation in high school completion. The Kent School District is below the state average for high school completion and

November 11, 2011 [ COUNCIL from page 1] excited. I love this place
“I was kind of shocked,� Boyce said in a phone interview Wednesday about his large lead over Raplee. “We worked really, really hard and felt we had a good chance of winning. But the numbers were bigger than we thought.� Boyce credited his years of service on the school board, 10 years as a Little League coach and other roles in the community for his victory. “I have a lot of community service and time I have put in and people responded to the work I’ve done,� Boyce said. Boyce said he wants to provide leadership to the council and work with the Kent Chamber of Commerce and business community. “We need to figure out what’s best for the city of Kent,� Boyce said. “I’m very
and am looking forward to serve the city. We need to find a way to get more business and revenue for the city.� Raplee and Boyce waged an amicable campaign. Raplee, a Boeing staff analyst, has served eight years on the council. “I want to thank Debbie Raplee for her eight years of service to the city,� Boyce said. Ralph, who has run a medical billing service in Kent for 16 years, defeated Sealfon, a retired U.S. Army colonel and a Vietnam veteran. “I was really excited and relieved,� Ralph said. “I’m ready to get to work.� Ralph has served eight years on the city’s Land Use and Planning Board and seven years on the Kent Arts Commission. She is currently chairwoman of
the land use board and the arts commission. “I think it was the hard work, the door belling and talking to as many people as possible and gathering community support,� Ralph said about the keys to her victory. Ranniger, the executive director of resource development at Clover Park Technical College in Lakewood, overcame attack ads and comments from Stober, a retail store loss prevention manager, to hold on to her seat. She had received the most votes of any council candidate through Tuesday. Thomas, a retired gemologist, held off Skorupa, owner of Renaissance Yarns in Kent. The council has seven members who are elected to four-year terms and paid $13,752 per year for their part-time positions. The terms of council members
Jamie Perry, Dennis Higgins and Elizabeth Albertson expire at the end of 2013. King County Elections tabulated 279,744 ballots through Tuesday. Election officials estimate a total return of about 560,000 ballots, or 52 percent of registered voters. In other election results, the race for Valley Medical Center commissioner has Paul Joos winning with 58 percent of the vote over Mary Alice Heuschel. The statewide measures on the ballot showed the liquor initiative leading and the transportation initiative losing.

Kent needs your volunteer efforts dialog of our differences is a cornerstone and this communication is vital. The chamber and the city of Kent work closely together to create an atmosphere where businesses thrive and the community as a whole prospers. In matters concerning or affecting local business, the city requests input from the chamber and takes that information into consideration when making decisions. While the chamber and the city don’t always agree, we applaud the city of Kent and council for continuing to work with the Kent chamber, organizations and individuals as we amalgamate our visions for the good of our community. Kent has a plethora of choices of organizations that need your leadership and volunteer efforts. There are associations for nearly

LIVING BETTER THAN EVER
skills and competency so they could mentor freshmen,â€? Martin said. “We invited community members to come in and work with the guys. They came in and sat in small groups with the guys and shared their experiences and had it focused so they would talk not only about leadership but their career paths and barriers along the way.â€? camp culminated in the development and presentation of leadership platforms by the juniors and seniors who participated with those platforms focused on the program’s core values. “That’s one of the goals of the program, to facilitate that, to put guys in positions where they feel confident but they also are leaders,â€? Martin said. “We want this to become student driven.â€? With the success of the program with boys, assistant principal Deborah Rumbaugh has been working on a program for girls at Kentwood, with the idea to help girls deal with particularly challenging social and emotional issues such as bullying. There are 15 students who have been invited by counselors and administrators to participate, Rumbaugh said, though the girls program is still in its early stages. “We focus on grades, getting to graduation and we provide a good role model of what girls can be in their communities if they choose to,â€? Rumbaugh said. “We have a threefold program, the first is the personal and social development, the second is collaborative enrichment, which is connecting with the community and volunteering, and the third one is academic achievement. Those are pretty lofty goals. We want to see girls really reaching their potential academically, socially and in their communities.â€? Like the boys, mentors such as Rumbaugh, King County Prosecutor Stephanie Webb and Kentwood graduate Samantha Thompson (who is Manning’s daughter), will meet weekly with the girls. “Outside of meeting individually with the girls on a weekly basis, our first activity is to coordinate with a local school district to watch the documentary called ‘Finding Kind’ which focuses on capitalizing on the positive nature of girls in treating each other with kindness and respect,â€? Rumbaugh said. “The other project that we’re going to be doing is some type of community Christmas project, something like a giving tree, something along those lines. So, we’re always seeking opportunities from the community as well.â€? Rumbaugh said one challenge the girls program is facing right now is finding mentors that can make a weekly commitment for the entire school year. Consistency is important, Manning said, because both boys and girls need to know that mentor is someone they can trust, someone they can count on. “These kids, these freshmen, they don’t know if I’m going to show up every week,â€? Manning said. “The older kids know I will and that’s important.â€? And he is thrilled the program is now offered to girls. “That’s so huge,â€? Manning said. “What I see at the high school, I see girls with very low self esteem, and that’s acted out in the way they dress and the way they act. It’s something that’s important to have someone they can talk to‌ for these women to come in and have conversations with these girls. This program for the girls is going to be huge and I’m excited for it. There’s different needs (than for the boys) but the end result is going to be the same.â€? As the program continues to grow at Kentwood, Manning has a broader goal: he
wants to see it offered at all four of the Kent School District’s traditional high schools. “I want people who live in these communities to help out at the high school that’s around the corner from them,â€? he said. He knows it’s working at Kentwood so it could have an impact at other schools, as well. “When you start hearing the sayings that you give to the kids and it starts coming back to you and they make fun of you with it‌ that’s when you know they’re getting it,â€? Manning said. “One of my favorite things I say is, ‘A closed mouth doesn’t get fed.’ Or, ‘Bad news travels fast.’â€? One moment really hit Manning and made him realize he was having an impact. “I was talking to a kid one day trying to get him to talk, something was going on with him,â€? he said. “One of the seniors was there talking to him, but, we couldn’t get it out of him. The senior said, ‘Look, you can trust Mr. Manning. A couple years ago he and I talked about some issues I had and he is like a second father to me.’ I was like, ‘Wow!’ You hear that and it just kind of hits. That was kind of a ‘wow’ moment for me.â€? Martin has seen the impact on his students, as well. “One junior who has consistently met with Manning on a regular basis since the program’s inception asserts, ‘this is everything to me,’â€? Martin said. “When asked to say more about his experience, the student says that Manning’s mentorship and friendship has given him strategies for making positive choices. He said, ‘I was bad my freshman year and didn’t have it together, but Officer Manning has helped me with that. He’s been there for me when I need him.’â€? Specifically, Martin said, the student pointed out that Manning’s continued guidance and presence has helped him avoid as well as resolve conflicts with students and adults. “In one class, the student improved his communication with the teacher and his grade jumped from an F to a B,â€? Martin said. “Another student who was receiving poor grades received mentorship and guidance from Manning, which allowed him to confidently speak to his mother about the matter. She gave him a consequence for the poor effort, but the student reported that the conversation went well, and he liked the tone of the conversation more than the alternative. One sophomore expressed interest in medicine, particularly cardiothoracic surgery, during the leadership camp. One of our mentors connected with a surgeon in Seattle and coordinated a meeting between the doctor and the student.â€? There are a number of other examples but those are just some highlights, Martin said. Martin has also been documenting progress of students, both anecdotally and quantitatively by talking to students, as well as evaluating SAT scores and grades. “It’s by far one of the most powerful things I’ve been a part of, easily,â€? Martin said. “It’s impacting a lot of kids and impacting the culture of the school.â€? Manning couldn’t be happier about the direction of the program. “I really believe that you have to give back in some way,â€? he said. “That’s the only way this world is going to get better. The one thing all of us were missing at that time was a little love, someone to say that you’re good enough, that you can do it. When you teach with a lot of love, it really works.â€?

www.kentreporter.com teachers talk to parents and students about school statistics, clubs and other opportunities available at the school. “We just started Saturday tutoring sessions, before school physical education opportunities and we’ve issues laptops to all ours students,” Morales said. “It’s importune for parents to be aware of our new programs and learn how to help their child use their laptops.” Mill Creek is the largest middle school in the Kent School District. They have around 900 students, 40 countries and 32 languages represented. “It’s great that I can speak Spanish because then I can communicate with our families who speak Spanish as their first language,” Morales said. “It shows I can relate to them and I am able to explain what is going on at school.”

are talking to them about what their ambitions are,” Torres said. “Our goal is to give them the mindset that they are working toward their futures.” Torres noticed the kids she’d visited during a weekend in October come in the next week early to get caught up in class. “It was great because they wanted to learn and were asking me about Saturday school,” Torres said.”Staff at Mill Creek really want to get back to the idea that it takes a village to raise a child. We want the education of our students to be a community effort so we can help each other raise our kids to be the best they can be.”

The purpose of the meeting is to address community crime concerns and introduce the resources the Kent Police can provide to assist community members in making their neighborhoods safer and more secure. Police administrators will answer questions about department operations. Members of the department’s Neighborhood Response Team and Crime Prevention unit members are also available to take input regarding specific issues within the city.
Community members are invited to learn more about their police this month.

The school started math, reading and writing tutoring sessions on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to noon, with recreational opportunities in the gymnasium from noon to 1:30 p.m. A robotics program, community service club and college bound scholarship opportunities were also added to the school this year. “It’s great to be able to sit down with parents and students to explain these new programs and experiences we offer at Mill Creek,” Terris said. “They might hear about something going on or a club opening up, but they won’t try to get involved if they don’t know what it is.” Math teacher Katherine Torres is surprised at the positive changes she’s seen in her students after the visits, both behaviorally and academically. “You get a sense that the kids just feel in control of their futures, because we

Kent-based Sleep Country USA will expand by 14 stores with the acquisition of Mattress Outlet stores in Eastern Washington and Western Idaho. Sleep Country, in its 20th year, will open stores in Ellensburg, Spokane, Yakima, Wenatchee, Richland, Kennewick, Moses Lake, Lewiston, and Coeur d’Alene.

ShoWare Center loses $277,000 in third quarter After keeping deficits under $30,000 the first six months of 2011, Kent’s ShoWare Center lost $277,376 in the third quarter. The city-owned arena has now lost $306,410 in the first nine months with expenses of $1.85 million and revenues of $1.53 million, according to the center’s income statement. Patrick McCluskey, ShoWare finance director, blamed smaller than expected circus crowds, a high water and sewer bill not included in the initial budget and higher maintenance and repairs costs for the larger than anticipated nine-month deficit.
McCluskey revealed the budget numbers in a presentation Oct. 27 to the Public Facilities District board, which oversees operations of the $84.5 million arena. The facility opened in January 2009 and has lost money for two consecutive years. The arena had expenses of $608,158 and receipts of $330,782 for July through September for a deficit of $277,376, according to the income statement provided by SMG, the operator of the arena. “There are three variances that are throwing us off a little bit from the budget,” McCluskey said. “The circus didn’t come in like we thought. We anticipated a three-ring
circus and it came only as a one-ring circus so ticket sales were down as far as revenue for that event.” The Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey circus brought a smaller (onering) show to town in September as opposed to a larger (three-ring) event that came in 2009 to Kent. “That one-ring circus cuts down the house (attendance per night) from about 4,000 to about 2,800,” said Tim Higgins, ShoWare general manager, at the board meeting. A larger circus includes more animals and a bigger show and arrives by train. The smaller circus uses trucks and other vehicles and costs the Ringling Bros. less money to bring

tract is scheduled to go before the council’s Operations Committee Nov. 15 for approval. Wolters also said the city reached a tentative agreement to amend the 30-year lease with the Seattle Thunderbirds hockey team about lowering prices for suites and club seats as well as allowing SMG and the city to market the suites along with the T-Birds. “The upshot of both agreements is to put the building on more solid financial footing,” Wolters said. The T-Birds currently sell suites for hockey and non-hockey events. The new agreement will allow SMG to sell suites and club seats for non-hockey events. City officials set aside money each year in the city’s annual capital budget fund to cover the anticipated losses at the arena. If not needed for the arena, that money could be used to help pay for improvements to city streets, facilities and other capital projects. The arena lost $398,000 in 2010 and $451,000 in 2009.

travel costs, Higgins said. ShoWare had a couple of unexpected costs. “The other two areas that we were off is we had a quarterly water and sewer maintenance bill that we never anticipated in the budget,” McCluskey said. “And we had a compressor that we had to fix, so our repair and maintenance expenses are up over budget.” McCluskey said the sixfigure water and sewer bill from King County didn’t show up until this year and had not been included in the budget. “The revenues are over budget (for the first nine months) but we anticipated them to be up more to offset repairs and maintenance,” McCluskey said. Meanwhile, Ben Wolters, city economic and community development director, announced at the board meeting that city staff will recommend the Kent City Council approve a new three-year contract with Philadelphia-based SMG to operate the facility. The existing three-year agreement expires the end of this year. SMG manages the day-to-day operations of the arena, including event booking, the budget, vendor selection, public relations and marketing, and event staffing. Wolters said the con-

Kentwood earns eighth straight state berth while Kent-Meridian makes first state volleyball appearance since 1998 BY KRIS HILL khill@covingtonreporter.com
A trio of South Puget Sound League North volleyball teams are headed to state out of the West Central District tournament held at Kentwood High Nov. 4-5. Kentwood won its first two matches of the tournament to punch its ticket on Nov. 4 while Kent-Meridian, the surprise state-bound team, bounced back after a tough loss to eventual district champion Bellarmine Prep in the first round. Tahoma went 1-1 on the first day, beating division rival Kentridge in four games before losing to Olympia, which earned the second seed out of the district. Tahoma bounced back after the loss on the first day. It put together a 3-0 sweep of Central Kitsap in a winner-to-state loser out match on Nov. 5 then beat Kent-Meridian in five games to earn the sixth seed out of the district while the Royals are the No. 7 seed to state. Kent-Meridian had a tough road but somewhere between the second and third games in a loser-out

match against Union it dug deep. Maybe it was Assistant Coach Raven Northrup who got the girls attention when she told them they looked like the match was lost, that the looks on their faces told her they had already given up. The Royals went out and proved their coach wrong. Led by junior outside hitter Chloe Watson and setter Deidrianna Laban, Kent-Meridian fought back, winning 3-2 including a 25-21 victory in the third game, a 25-14 victory in the fourth and 15-13 in the decisive fifth. Kent-Meridian was fired up when they took on Skyview the next day, winning 3-1 (25-19,16-25,2515,25-17) to punch its ticket to state, its first trip since 1998. The last time the Royals brought home hardware from the state volleyball tournament was in 1994 when they finished third. K-M gets Woodinville at 3:15 p.m. in the first round of state.

Kent-Meridian’s success. “Our team went and cheered them on in their game against Skyview,� Seims wrote in an email. “Gave me even more Kent pride to see our Conks cheer on the Royals. I am a Kentridge grad, so, I love Kent schools!� In the first match of the tournament, Kentwood had to beat perennial volleyball power Graham-Kapowsin, and it took five games to do it. It was a typical balanced offensive attack from the Conquerors with setter Kacie Seims (45 assists) spreading the ball out to Mikaela Ballou, who tallied 15 kills and four blocks, Mele Halahuni who racked up 12 kills, and Sarah Toeaina who finished with 10 kills and five blocks. Kentwood made it to the district semi-final match thanks to a sweep of Skyview, the team K-M beat to get to state, in which Kacie Seims tossed up 32 assists to Ballou who had 23 kills, Halahuni who had 13 kills, Lauren Hackett with eight kills. Libero Tess Manthou had 14 digs in that match while Emily Altobelli added 10. Kentwood lost to Puyallup in the third-fourth game and will be the No. 4 seed out of the district to state.

irls ruled on Nov. 5 in Pasco at the 4A cross country state championships. Tahoma won the girls team title while Kent-Meridian’s Alexia Martin was the highest local individual when she crossed the finish line in fourth place. “We’re pretty excited,� said Garry Conner, the Bears’ head coach. “It’s a big win for us.� Martin, a senior, completed the race in 18 minutes, 20 seconds. Martin also placed fourth at the league and district meets. It was the highest individual ranking of any boys or girls runner from Tahoma or Kent schools.
TAHOMA BRINGS HOME THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP After narrowly losing to Bellarmine Prep at the Westside Classic district meet the week prior, 77-79, Tahoma was able pull together and outrun them 88-99 at the Sun Willows Golf Course. Conner attributed several factors to the Bears victory. The girls came into the race all healthy after fighting several illnesses throughout the season. Additionally, they raced strategically in order to determine their competition during the district meet.

Kent-Meridian’s Martin posts highest placing for local cross country runners at state
But, in the end, he credited every single runner on the team for racing well. “It was a group effort,� Conner said. “At that state meet, you just can’t make any mistakes. If you do, you’re a six to 10 (place) team. If any one of those girls didn’t run well, we wouldn’t have won the state meet. It was really all the seven girls.� “It was an incredible experience,� junior Elizabeth Oosterhout said. “Our team will remember it our whole lives. Every girl pulled their own weight and then some.� Oosterhout placed 16th at 18:51, a vast improvement over last year’s 30th and 19:11. “I feel good about my improvement in my performance,� she said. She added, however, “I think I let my nerves take over me and I got really worried.� Next year she said she will try to break into the top 10. Freshman Abby Atchison led the Bears by placing eighth with a time of 18:40, a 23 second PR. “I was really thrilled with how the race turned out,� Atchison said. “I really just felt confident going into the race, and our coaches have been working hard to peak our whole team. It really helped me when the race started. It just really came together.� The rest of the Bears team included freshman Delaney Tiernan (21st,
19:02), senior Juliana Mock (44th, 19:29) sophomore Maddy Dennis (101st, 20:20) and freshman Katelyn Sherick (114th, 20:28). Having taken the title, Conner said they now have to defend it next year. “We’re going to try to make another run at it,� he said. “My coaching staff is excited. We’re just taking it all in.� The Royals placed 16th in their first appearance at the state meet in school history. Martin’s time of 18:20, a 22 second PR, was the fastest she had run in a race since her freshman year in 2009, when she took second at district with a time Alexia Martin of 18:42. Other Royals runners included sophomores Ruby Virk (106th, 20:24) Briann Funk (124th, 20:43), Sara Madden (132nd, 21:20) and Araceli Rios (138th, 21:55), senior Chelsea Watkins (136st, 21:50) and junior Christina Atkinson (146th, 24:24).

[ BATTLE from page 15] great game for us,� Norris said. Hubbard, despite his illness, tallied 200 yards on 26 carries. On Hubbard’s highlight reel was a 27-yard touchdown run around the outside to put Kentwood up 10-3 with 3:26 left in the third quarter. Spectators would never have known Hubbard wasn’t feeling 100 percent, especially when he helped set up the winning touchdown by bringing it down to the 12 from the 25, in the second overtime. From there, it was Visa Thach, who carried the ball the final three times for Kentwood including punching it in from a yard out to put the Conquerors on top for good. It was not a pretty game for Kentwood. “We were the hardest on ourselves we’ve been all year,� Norris said. “We’ve got a young team but we’ve had quite a learning curve.� Norris said Kentwood came into the game respecting the talent of Gig Harbor quarterback Garrett Gallanger and had prepared the defense accordingly. Defense, Norris stated, was what kept the Conks in the game. They did their best to mix up their cover-
gain in these close games in Kent. I think we represented the SPSL North well.� Kentwood travels to Skyview on Friday for its first round state playoff game.
FALCONS FLY HIGH For the seventh time this season Kentlake scored more than 40 points in a game, beating Mariner 49-7 in a winner-to-state, loserout playoff game at French Field on Nov. 4. It didn’t start out looking like a rout for Kentlake, though, as the first kickoff was fumbled by the returner, recovered by Mariner and returned for a touchdown. Little did the Marauders know with 13 seconds off the game clock that would be all they would get in the game as the Falcons romped. Barely a minute of game time later, Kentlake responded to the special teams miscue with a drive down the field that included a long pass to Austin Pernell which put the Falcons on the Marauders 5-yardline, setting up a Tanner Lucas touchdown two plays later. With 8:08 left in the first quarter, Darryl Parker scored an 18-yard touchdown to make it 14-7, and from there Kentlake never
looked back. Lucas added two more touchdown runs in the second quarter, helping Kentlake to a 35-7 halftime lead. The Falcons scored their final TD with 9:39 left in the game. Kentlake will host Union at 6 p.m. French Field on Friday night.

That quarterback threw for 300 yards last week and we held him to 42 yards in the first half.� At halftime the score was tied 3-3. The Tides knotted the score at 10-10 when they blocked a Conquerors punt and recovered the ball in the end zone with 8:53 left in the game. That’s where the score stayed until overtime. Jerrod Dalton made sure Gig Harbor didn’t score again in regulation when he hauled in an interception on the four yard line. From there, the teams traded field goals, then Gig Harbor went up 16-13 to start the second overtime period. That’s when Hubbard and Thach put together a series of runs that put the Conks ahead for good. After Thach scored the go-ahead TD he was mobbed in the end zone by the entire squad as the fans who stuck around in the sub-40 degree weather cheered wildly. “We didn’t panic,� Norris said. “That’s because of the resolve we’ve been able to

We had a good meet.� “I thought we did pretty good,� said senior James Dagley. “We’re going to be even better next year. I’d say we’d probably make the podium next year.� Notable performances included sophomore Riley Campell who took 31st with 16:10, a PR and a minute and 20 second improvement over his time at last year’s state championship, where he placed 130th. “I felt pretty good,� Campell said. “I was hoping to get under 16 minutes, but I feel good about it.� “He had a really good run,� Conner said. Dagley placed 42nd with a time of 16:17, which was disappointing for him after coming in 29th last year. “Not very good,� Dagley said of his performance. “It wasn’t my best race. There’s been a lot of things this season I’ve been battling with.� He explained that he’s been dealing with several debilitating issues, such as a stress fracture, which hurt his preseason training in the summer. “I swam and biked, but, it wasn’t enough to stay in shape,� Dagley said. With the top four runners coming back next year, Conner is confident Tahoma will be able to build upon the strength of this year’s squad. “The (training for) state championship starts now,� he said. “We’ll give them a couple days off and then we’re up

Kentwood’s Catherine Li sets up at the practice tee. The sophomore has big dreams for her future in golf. SARAH KEHOE, Kent Reporter

“The first three years she had such up and down times with golf,� Jen said.�But I see how it has helped her grow and get more serious about her future and what she wants in her life. She works so hard and we are so proud of her.� Li is enrolled in several honors courses and received straight A’s last year. She is a member of the Future Business Leaders Association and the National Honors Society. “My goal is to get a scholarship in golf and play on a college team,� Li said. “I’m not sure where I want to go yet, but I was thinking it’d be cool to go to a university in California.� Havena can’t wait to see what Li will do. “Her future is wide open,� Havena said. “She’s a strong player and her game will get her far.� One thing Li knows for sure, is that she will always play golf. “I will probably do it until I die,� she said. “Through trial and error on courses I’ve learned to push myself and rely on myself; that’s something golf does to you.�
and rolling again.� The Kentwood boys took 13th, one place lower than last year. Head Coach Ken Paul, however, stated he was pleased with the performance after losing several top runners to graduation. “They did well,� he said. “Things were really, really close. We were hoping to be in the top 10, realistically we could have been 11th. If you look across the board, the competitors were really fast. It was a really fast race this year.� Senior Danny Lunder finished his final high school cross country race at 23rd with a time of 16:04. Even though that’s seconds away from breaking the 16 minute barrier he had hoped to achieve, he was still able to break his PR. “I felt pretty good,� he said. “I was pretty happy for my PR. I pushed my running to the max during the race because there’s no cross country after this. I knew that I had to give it my all because there’s nothing left. I’m going to look back on this and remember what it felt like so I decided to give it my all.� His coach was impressed with Lunder’s efforts. “Danny ran a great race,� Paul said. “He ran his best time on a hard course. That’s kind of a hard course to do it on. Danny, being the competitor and perfectionist he is, was probably disappointed, but he shouldn’t be.� Individual performances included Kentlake junior Alexander Martinez, who placed 47th with a time of 16:20, Kent-Meridian senior Teddy Teklu, who placed 70th with a time of 16:33 and Kentridge senior Talon Abernathy and junior Sterling Bath, who placed 88th with a time of 16:47 and 128th at 17:27 respectively.

Catherina Li, 15, is usually spotted after school with her golf bag on her back, making a 15-minute walk from the bus stop to the Meridian Valley Country Club. The Kentwood High School sophomore practices golf for at least two hours every day to improve her game. Her hard work paid off last week when she won her district match and shot a 64. “I had no idea when I first started playing golf that it would become such a large part of my life,� Li said. “I see golf not only as a passion, but as a ticket to college; a tool that will get me to where I want to go in life.� This year, Li was named an honorable mention Rolex Junior All-American by the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA), establishing herself among the top tier of current and former junior golfers from around the world. “Honestly, my favorite part of golfing is competition,� Li said. “I love the feeling of being under pressure and the adrenaline rush I get when I make that perfect shot.� Li earned Rolex Junior All-America honors for the first time in her career behind her first AJGA victory at the AJGA Junior at Centennial. Ranked No. 43 in the Polo Golf Rankings, she notched runner-up finishes at the AJGA Stonehenge Junior Open and the W. Duncan MacMillan Classic at Rush Creek. “She’s exceptional,� said Cheryl Havena, coach. “She’s a steady force to have on the team because she is so consistent.� Li has been playing for seven years. She says she didn’t always love the sport. “My dad made me come out and play with him and I would hit several bad shots and beg to leave,� she recalled. Zhenhai Li bribed his daughter with treats and time with friends to get her to play golf. When they got to the course he would teach Catherina drills and help her set goals for each practice. “For the first couple years I went out just to get my rewards and then I went out because I was finally playing well,� Catherina said. “I’m really thankful for my parents because they didn’t just teach me golf; they taught me discipline and perseverance.� Jen Li said she noticed a change in her daughter when Catherina started to take golf seriously.

Not the high priced, strongly-fragrant hyacinths but the more common, hard-working hyacinth sold for pennies and enjoyed for generations. Most common in the deep blue color and often used to create rivers of color in show gardens, you can also plant grape hyacinths under the shade of deciduous trees or mix them with windflowers and other minor bulbs under the skirts of rhododendrons and azaleas.

Their quick and easy planting makes them perfect for guerrilla gardening – adding flowers to public spaces without asking permission. I like to call it “Occupy Spring� and hope the protestors who use our public parks will use their time efficiently by planting bulbs and pulling a few weeds between protests.
The Compleat Home Gardener
During the second week of November there is still time to dig up and divide your overcrowded daylilies, hosta and iris and now is also the time to cut back the yellow foliage of lilies and peonies. In the vegetable garden you can leave carrots, cabbage and brussels sprouts in the ground where the cold weather will add a sweetness to the flavor. Keep checking on any green tomatoes you have stored indoors and toss out any that begin to rot before the danger spreads. If you think it is too late in the year to aerate, feed or mow the lawn you are wrong. Tackle these fall field goals now and you’ll score great yardage in the spring with less moss and weeds to worry about. Don’t mow the lawn if the ground is frozen solid or the soil so saturated with water that the mower would leave ruts in the ground. The middle of November is still a great time to add spring-blooming bulbs and here are some that do great in our climate and are small enough to tuck into any open spot of ground. In the horticultural world these are called “minor bulbs� but they can make a major impact for just a minor amount of work. Many will

be created; this bridge is just one example,� said protestor Vanessa Godfrey, on Oct. 31. County transportation employees say there are no funds for re-building at this time. A new structure would cost about $18 million to construct, while the estimated cost to close and demolish the bridge is $1.14 million, with federal share of the cost at approximately $920,000.

Several members from the organization, Working Washington, dressed up in costumes Halloween day to protest against the deteriorating state of the bridge. They wanted the bridge to be rebuilt to improve transportation in Kent, claiming the building process would mean new jobs for the unemployed. “There are places in our community where jobs can

King County plans to close and demolish the Alvord T Bridge in mid-2013 in Kent because it is deemed unsafe for drivers. The 97-year-old bridge crossing the Green River on 78th Avenue South has a sufficiency rating of 4.18 of 100, the lowest of bridges currently open to traffic
in the state. In 2008, the county applied for replacement funding from the federal Bridge Replacement Advisory Committee, but the grant application was denied due to the high construction cost, low traffic volumes and the existence of two alternate river crossings within one-half mile according to Rochelle Ogershok, spokesperson for the county department of transportation.

NOTICE OF APPLICATION and Proposed Determination of Nonsignificance An Environmental Checklist was filed with City of Kent Planning Services on November 1, 2011. The City of Kent expects to issue a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) for the proposal and the Optional DNS Process is being used. This may be the only opportunity to comment on the environmental impacts of the proposal and associated mitigation measures. The proposal may include mitigation measures under applicable codes, and the project review process may incorporate or require mitigation measures regardless of whether an EIS is prepared. A
copy of the subsequent threshold determination for the specific proposal may be obtained upon request. Following is a description of the application and the process for review. The application and listed studies may be reviewed at the offices of Kent Planning Services, 400 W. Gowe Street, Kent, WA.

Therefore, as permitted under the RCW 43.21C.110, the City of Kent is using the Optional Determination of Nonsignificance process to give notice that a DNS is likely to be issued. Comment periods for the project and the proposed DNS are integrated into a single comment period. A 14-day appeal period will follow the issuance of the DNS.

The county receives public finances for roads and bridges mostly through local property tax in the unincorporated areas outside of cities through a separate Roads Levy of $2.25 per thousand assessed value. Under the state Growth Management Act, the successful annexation of urban unincorporated areas into cities is leaving a dramatically reduced base of property tax revenues for county roads in the unincorporated areas. “This is a flaw in state law,� Ogershok said. “The source of funding authorized by the state for county roads can no longer keep pace with the success of the growth management and city annexations. Support for the county road fund has not been revisited in 25 years, and is no longer equitable or adequate. With fewer revenues, we must manage the most pressing problems that affect the most people with the resources we have.� The bridge is a timber trestle leading to a steel truss with a timber deck across the river. A study done in 1995 recommended the bridge to be shut down, but the county
agreed to go through with extensive repairs to keep the bridge open. Due to its condition, the Alvord T Bridge is monitored and inspected four times more often than other bridges. “Those inspections will continue so we can evaluate the rate of deterioration of the bridge and determine whether the recommended closure and demolition date in 2013 can be achieved,� Ogershok said. “However, there remains a strong possibility that the interim inspections will indicate that the bridge may need to close earlier if engineers determine the structure can no longer safely remain open.� The latest study showed the bridge is structurally deficient and prone to fractures, has load limits in effect due to its inability to carry standard vehicle loads, and the main bridge supports are severely rusted. It is also functionally obsolete; the road width is narrow, has low overhead clearance, substandard timber rails and poor sight distance at its north intersection with South 259th Street.
Online comment changes THE REPORTER EDITORIAL STAFF
There will be a change to The Reporter website beginning Nov. 17. Anonymous comments through the Disqus program will end. Sound Publishing, parent company of dozens of community papers in Western Washington including this one, has chosen to move to a new commenting system online. The Reporter websites will begin using Facebook as a source to identify people writing comments. Anyone writing comments will be required to have a Facebook profile to comment on a story, column or letter to the editor. Comments will be linked to the personal Facebook page of the person commenting. This is an attempt to bring to an end anonymous comments and the issues that arise when people can write without identifying who they are. Certain stories, including those involving
personal tragedy, will have the comment section turned off without exception. This change is an attempt to encourage thoughtful discussion, civil discourse among readers and editorial staff as well as discourage hostile attacks and purposefully misleading statements. In a letter to the editor, writers must identify themselves, and this change to the website is an attempt to raise the bar of discussion and identification. The Disqus program requires users provide an email address. That, however, does very little if someone wants to post a comment in obscurity and most of the time a surname will do. We hope this new system will allow readers to feel comfortable using the website as a community forum and to become more engaged with our content.
