U.S. Postal Service looks at closing center
KBAC looks ahead and toward the community BY DENNIS BOX

Community organizations often start, evolve, sometimes end and other times resurrect into a different form. The Kent Black Action Committee is a community organiTAKING zation that has roots reaching back more than a decade, and it is building into an organization emphasizing action. The committee has numerous founders and folks who have put time and energy into the first events, including Melvin Tate, a former Kent School District teacher, administrator and diversity expert; community leader Rev. Jimmie James; and Gwen Allen, a former Kent City Council candidate.
The U.S. Postal Service is considering closing its Kent Delivery and Distribution Center but no decision has been made yet. “Any decision on the facility would not be made until about next February or SAVING March,” said Ernie Swanson, spokesman in Seattle for the U.S. Postal Service, in a Tuesday email. The Postal Service announced Monday in Washington, D.C., that it plans to move forward with a proposal to change service standards and close distribution facilities in an effort to reduce revenue loss, according to a Postal Service media release. “The U.S. Postal Service must reduce its operating costs by $20

Youth learn about the ‘Game of Life’ BY SARAH KEHOE skehoe@kentreporter.com
Bailey Wheeler, 13, is no longer afraid to stand up for herself because of what she learned during one of many workshops at a youth conference in Kent. “The people taught us that if you don’t stick to what you believe in than you are just a follower,” Wheeler said. “Being a leader takes courage and a commitment to be true to yourself.” Wheeler, an eighth-grader at Cedar Heights Middle School, joined more than 200 teenagers who attended one of the two-day Game of Life conferences Dec. 6-7 at the Kent Commons recreational facility. Students discussed and learned about drugs,

leadership, the environment, traffic safety, pregnancy and other topics. “This conference made me think about the kind of life I want for myself and what I can do to get it,” Wheeler said. The Kent Police Youth Board, comprised of more than 20 students from high schools and middle schools, organized the 25th annual conference. They spoke to teens, talking about how to make educated choices about drugs, alcohol, nutrition, relationships and careers. “I think the coolest thing about this conference is that people are hearing this advice from people near or at their same age,” said Patrick Pham, executive board member. “They know we understand exactly what they are going through and that we are dealing with the same issues they are.” The conference hosts teams of middle and high school students from Kent, Renton, Auburn, Maple Valley, Enumclaw, Seattle and Gig Harbor.

The Golden Steer feast is a success BY SARAH KEHOE skehoe@kentreporter.com
Kent Urgent Care
The Golden Steer’s annual Thanksgiving feed served a record number of people this year. According to owner Jim Berrios, 500 people ate dinner at the Golden Steer that day, all of whom received vouchers from the Kent Food Bank, through a church or the Kent School District. It was by far a record for the Golden Steer, shattering the previous high of 400. “We had a mix of struggling families, homeless and some senior at the feast,� said Jim Berrios, Golden Steer owner. “The fun thing is that people that come tend to treat this as a formal affair,
so there were families all dressed up, little kids wearing suits and ties.� In total, 42 volunteers from around the community helped out Thursday, with 31 staying for a large dinner with the Berrios family after the room was cleared and tables and chairs were put away. “This has been our family’s Thanksgiving for many years and it’s always a great experience for us,� Berrios said. This was the 13th year the Golden Steer has hosted a Thanksgiving dinner. “As long as we continue to be blessed, we are going to keep doing this,� Berrios said.

Carolyn Nirk, left, Koang Chop, and Peter Manyand sort shoes Tuesday for export to raise funds for their upcoming Sudan trip with Kent Lutheran Church. CHARLES CORTES, Kent Reporter. This trip is just the first of many for the congregation. “This year we are bringing four filters for clean water and providing repatriation assistance to those in need,” said Jessica Ward, group leader for the church. “Next year we will help with sanitation, try to micro-enterprise and help build a community space and school.” The group wants to build Latrines to ensure health and protect surface water and establish jobs in the area, such as fishing, sewing, agriculture and construction tools, so the people can earn money. “We are going to an area that does not currently have tribal fights and is clear of boarder disputes,” Ward said. “The Sudanese that are coming on the trip have families on both sides of the boarder.” The group is going to Malual in South Sudan, right near the Ethiopian boarder. They said they decided to make the journey right after July 9, when Sudan became independent. “We were so excited when the referendum passed,” said Pastor Jane Prestbye. “We said, ‘let’s get our family together and go.’” Sudan has been engaged in a civil war for more than 50 years, with all the various ethnic and religious groups fighting amongst each other. The referendum was part of the 2005

peace agreement to stop Sudan’s civil war. “This was the best day ever for me,” said Jacob Jack, a refugee. “Now we have a new nation and no longer have to live in fear, but there is still no resources.” Jack travelled to America in 1994 with his wife and two children. He works at any temporary jobs he can find in order to be able to send money back to his family still living in Sudan. “I want to save my family; I want a brand new country fresh from disease and death,” he said. Chop has a wife and three children to support here and four brothers still living in Sudan he sends money to. “I want to stop them from dying,” he said. The men are grateful to the Kent Lutheran Church for accepting them and helping them reach their goal of helping Sudanese people. “These people at church were so loving, so friendly and have saved us in many ways,” Manyand said. It was one year ago the Sudanese people entered Kent Lutheran Church on a Sunday, quietly joining the congregation in worship. Around 50 percent were United States citizens and the rest were refugees. “We asked them why they kept coming back and they said to us, ‘It’s simple. You love us and

oang Chop and Peter Manyand remember fleeing their village during the second Sudanese Civil War, walking in fear for miles and miles. “We didn’t want to leave our home, but had no other choice,” Manyand said. “What kept us going was the thought that we must survive.” They were among 2,000 boys of Nuer and Dinka called the Lost Boys of Sudan. They traveled by foot for years in search of safe refuge, on a journey that carried them over a thousand miles across three countries to refugee camps where they resided in Ethiopia. Chop lost his father and Manyand lost his mother to diseases and they lived in fear of government troops and government-sponsored militias that were systematically attacking villages in southern Sudan, killing many of the inhabitants. “There is nothing in Sudan,” Chop said. “No education, no medication, no water, no food – everyone around us was getting sick or dying from dehydration and starvation.” In 2001, as part of a program established by the United States government and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the Lost Boys were allowed to settle in the United States. Chop and Manyand arrived in Washington in 2006 and are now United States citizens. “I am so thankful to be in the United States where there is opportunity and there is a way for everyone to make a living,” Chop said. “In Sudan, if your father is poor, you will be poor and your children will be poor. You cannot break the cycle.” The men return to their home in February accompanied by 14 members from their church, the Kent Lutheran Church. The group hopes to make a difference in South Sudan by establishing safe drinking water sources, handing out education resources and identifying the needs within the community to report back. “I am so happy to go back to Sudan with American people,” said Jacob Wur, a Sudanese refugee. “I hope so much that the American people will come and see our needs and go back and spread the word so our country will be saved.” Wur came to the United States in 1995. He went back to South Sudan to visit his family in 2009 and was devastated to find it in the same state he’d left it. “There was still nothing there,” he said, shaking his head. “Everyone was sick, everyone was dying and there was no care available. But this time, it will be different because we are bringing the mission and they are bringing resources.”

cash to him. Prosecutors charged Walter E. Woods on Nov. 28 after undercover officers set up a prostitution sting operation at the Crossland Studios hotel, 25104 Pacific Highway S., according to charging papers. Woods is scheduled to be arraigned Dec. 12 at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. Woods
remained in custody, as of Dec. 6, at the county jail at the Regional Justice Center. Bail was set at $75,000. Woods reportedly placed ads on the website backpage.com that featured photos of the woman, a Seattle high school student. He would drive her to locations to perform sex acts and then take the money the woman received.
Kent Police arrested Woods for investigation of promoting prostitution on Thanksgiving Day outside of the Crossland Studios hotel. The woman told police that she had worked as a prostitute for Woods for about a week. She said Woods was going to take her out to eat with his family for Thanksgiving but he wanted her to make some
money first. Kent Police set up a sting as part of an ongoing operation to identify and recover females involved in sex trafficking and exploited on backpage.com. An undercover officer called the phone number on the ad and set up a meeting at his hotel room with the woman in the ad. The woman [ more CHARGE page 5 ]

After she asked for money, the undercover officer gave a predetermined arrest signal and the woman was detained by police. Officers also detained Woods in a vehicle outside the hotel after they spotted him dropping off the woman and then waiting in his car. Woods declined to talk to police about the incident. The woman told detectives she met Woods a few weeks ago at the Westlake Mall in Seattle where Woods works as an airbrush artist painting T-shirts. He told her he had several girls who worked for him in the past but now they were with a
different pimp. Detectives searched the apartment of Woods and found a fur coat and black high-heel shoes that matched the coat and shoes the woman wore in the photo in the backpage.com ad. They also found a computer that had a photo of the woman in the fur coat saved on the desktop.

So, I hope that people here will take what we say seriously, follow the message and encourage each other to lead better lives.� In a way, the conference

Students will develop projects to present at their own schools early next year, based on what they learned at the workshops. “We get to go to the schools and help them develop their projects,� Pham said. “This is great because this means it won’t be so easy for them to just walk away and not think about what we said.� Kentwood High seniors, members of the Kent Police Youth Board, helped select the topics and presenters at the conference. The board

A local view of Occupy protests On Sept. 21, I participated in a rally at Occupy Seattle. I did so to support the movement and specifically in protest of our country’s overreliance on a carbon-based economy and the mega corporations that profit extravagantly from its continuance to the detriment of our environment. Since then I’ve noticed numerous instances of individuals and media pointing to outliers, whether they be people or issues associated with the movement, in an attempt to discredit, mislabel, or otherwise undermine it. For years polls have shown that most Americans feel the country is headed in the wrong direction. Whether it is unemployment, declining personal income, out of control personal and/ or public debt, upside down mortgages, medical insurance that is too expensive to afford, a historically unequal division of the economic pie, or environmental degradation, people feel
in the car, or probably a couple of them, and headed for Tacoma to take him to train. I don’t remember why he left on the train. I do remember I was hoping someone would feel sympathy for me and buy me large amounts of ice cream. What I remember next I have never forgotten. My brother got on the train, mom was crying and my grandma had this look on her face I had never seen. As the train pulled away she started talking
to my mom, calling her sister. They called mom that when she was a little girl. And then grandma said something about Elmer was waiting. …waiting at the train. That we needed to go back. She kept saying we needed to go back. My dad stood with her for a while, then walked her to the car and helped her in. After a while, grandma had my dad stop and she bought me ice cream. We never talked about that day again.
a need for changes that will get us back on track. Fortunately, it’s not too hard to understand how we lost our balance. Beginning in the early 1980s, the country veered sharply toward economic deregulation. The trend continued throughout the Clinton Administration and went hard core during the Bush years. On a related track, the 1990s saw a strong move toward economic globalization with the passage of free trade measures such as NAFTA and agreements greatly strengthening and entrenching the work of the World Trade Organization. The result has been an increasing disenfranchisement of workers and thereby families as they’ve watched their jobs shipped overseas. Over the same time frame a significant realignment of power has occurred, shifting from a government and economy that benefit as many citizens as possible to ones that serve primarily the interests of corporations and the very well to do. Whether or not they made or inherited their money, the system has been skewed to greatly enhance their advantages both financially and politically. Most egregiously, the U.S. Supreme Court recently adorned corporations with personhood.
Among other things, this has been interpreted to allow them to inject unlimited amounts of money into our political system. We essentially now have a government bought and paid for by corporate and other big-moneyed interests such that the majority of citizens’ concerns are essentially pushed out of the conversation. The Occupy Wall Street movement, or whatever else we want to call it, is a reaction to the consequences of all the above. While its early stages may appear disorganized and its messages numerous, at its core it’s easy to understand – that is unless one’s real goal is to intentionally misinterpret it for political reasons. Ultimately, we’ve reaped what we’ve sown. As a whole, the American people, via their vote or lack thereof, have put people in office who’ve brought us to where we are now. The upshot is that the solution is clear – it’s our vote! It’s what got us into this mess and what can get us out of it. We can recover, but only if enough people choose to become more informed and then vote accordingly. The “think globally, act locally” slogan truly applies here.

Do you believe the state Legislature is fulfilling the Constitutional obligation of funding education?
Dennis Box Editor
Question of the week:
My column this week was going to be about a political issue until I noticed the date Wednesday morning. My calendar lists Dec. 7 as “Remember Pearl Harbor” day. I have a number of memories about my grandmother and the effects of World War II on her and my mother. Grandma’s son, Elmer Johnson, my mom’s bother, was killed in action during the war. He was tail gunner on the B-17, Idiot’s Delight, and was shot down over Germany during a daylight raid. He was 19. I remember grandma telling me how excited Elmer was when he heard the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. A 16-year-old boy saw danger, adventure and life out of Enumclaw. Grandpa told my grandma there would be no way to stop the boy. He would find a way to go, no matter what they did. For some reason Wednesday morning the memory that came to me when I read the words about remembering Pearl Harbor was a scene from when I was about 7 years old. My brother David had joined the Air Force. It was about 1961. He was the first of us to leave the farm. He had gone through basic training and radar school. He had probably been in the service about two years of a four-year hitch. He received orders to go to Germany. The day he was to leave we were all loaded

[ SUDAN from page 3] we love you,’” Prestbye said. “We were more than happy to have them join us and decided to become a church together. It’s been a fun learning adventure.” Kent Lutheran integrated their worship services, making a third service in the Neur language every third Sunday. This was more than appreciated by a group of homesick Sudanese people. “I miss so much about Sudan,” Chop said, closing his eyes. “I miss my brothers
and my sisters more than anything else.” More than visiting Sudan, Chop can’t wait to return from the trip. “The only thing that will create change for Sudan is for the American people to see the problem,” he said. “If the United States churches and groups don’t speak out, our country has no hope.” To donate to Kent Lutheran Church’s Sudan group or for more information, call 253-350-5427 or visit www.klcsouthsudan. blogspot.com.

ent-Technology Academy students at Kent-Meridian High School and Mill Creek Middle School learned about the relationship between their studies of science, technology, engineering, and math and work the Microsoft researchers are conducting last Friday. “I think this is such a great opportunity for our students to ask questions and get information from real people in the workplace,” said Brandi Egbert, ninth grade science teacher. “This event gives the kids the chance to make a connection from what they are learning in school to the professional career world.” The Kent-Technology Academy is an academic community that helps the students focus on problem solving, inventive thinking and collaboration. An intentional small-learning community, the teachers support students with project-based learning that focuses on science, technology, engineering and math. “We want our students to think beyond the classroom,” Egbert said. “This will help them be successful in life.” Kent School District partnered with Microsoft Research Connections Group as part of the software company’s Day of Caring and their work to support Computer Science Education Week. The purpose of this initial visit was to introduce employees and students to each other in preparation for the seventh and ninth grade students’

CHARLES CORTES, Kent Reporter visit to Microsoft Research Connections labs on the Microsoft campus this spring. “This partnership with Microsoft connects students to real world applications of the critical thinking, technology, and content that they learn. They will have an opportunity to work with a number of successful adults with curious, creative minds and strong work ethics and they will see more and more extraordinary possibilities within themselves,” said Susan Charrier, school district staff member. Throughout the year various researchers across Microsoft Research will do virtual presentations to these students to help them better understand careers in research and technology. Additionally, eighth-grade students will work on using TouchDevelop to create applications for
the Windows7 phone. Seventh-graders will learn about game programming and a visual object oriented programming tool called Kodu. Microsoft employees participating in the Day of Caring included a researcher focused on interaction, media, and visualization browsing, a former NASA employee and earth systems scientist, a software engineer, a mechanical engineer and an author of books about quantum mechanics and relativity. “We are pleased to help KMTA and KTA by talking about how technology can make the impossible possible and how they can be the generation that solves the biggest challenges in the world through becoming computer scientists,” said Rane Johnson, principal research director of Microsoft Research Connections.

Through an online survey, residents can let city officials know if they would like to walk or bike more around the city. With a grant from King County, preliminary planning is underway to make pedestrian and cycling improvements in Kent. On the survey, residents can take a few minutes and tell the city about their walking and biking habits — where you go, where you’d like to go, and what keeps you from getting where you’d like to go.

I use composted dairy manure from an organic dairy farm in Enumclaw because I know it will be weed- and pesticide-free. I’ve had problems with weeds in mulch before. (Wonder how you got horsetail?

GIVE AN EXTRAVAGANT, EXOTIC EXPERIENCE:
This summer, you can join us as we cruise the Balkans and enjoy gardens in the land of the midnight sun. From July 14-26, we’ll visit gardens and cities in Sweden, Denmark, Estonia, Germany and St. Petersburg, Russia. I think Peter the Great should be called Peter the Really Great Gardener as his personal estate of Peterhof rivals Versailles as the most awe-inspiring water garden in the world. After our 10-day cruise with private shore excursions, our group will spend a few days in Copenhagen to explore Tivoli gardens. If you are interested in Northern European culture, Russia and beautiful gardens at a relaxed pace, this could be the stocking stuffer that tops a lifetime of mundane Christmas gifts – and will really give a winter-weary gardener something to look forward to. The trip is priced at about $3,580 per person. Visit www.binettigarden.com or contact

ANXIOUS? NERVOUS? APPREHENSIVE?
The Ram Restaurant and Brewery is located in downtown Kent and it is a one of a kind spot to dine or drink special beers brewed by the restaurant. The restaurant is family owned and operated and was founded in 1971 by Jeff Iverson, Sr. and Cal Chandler. The two played football at the University of Washington and worked at Shakey’s Pizza Parlor. In 1971 the two joined forces and opened the first restaurant in Lakewood. It was known as a “Deluxe Tavern� with innovative ideas like cook-your-own burgers. Eventually the restaurant developed into full-service family restaurant of today, but the founders’ ideas of serving good food and beverages with excellent service have continued. Today the restaurant is operated by the second generation, Jeff Iverson, Jr. and Dave Iverson. Along with the tradition of the restaurant, the owners launched the Big Horn Brewing Company, which means The Ram offers high quality, hand crafted ales and lagers. The brewery’s Big Horn Blonde took the gold medal in the Golden or Blonde Ale category at the 30th annual Great American Beer Festival in October. The Ram Restaurant and Brewery is found in six states. In Kent it is located at 512 Ramsay Way and the telephone is 253-520-3881. The website address is http://www.theram.com.

LA Fitness buys, closes the Kent Bally club BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com
LA Fitness closed the Kent Bally Fitness Club Thursday and transferred members to the LA Fitness club just one-half mile away. Officials from LA Fitness have declined to discuss specific plans for the Kent club and referred a media request for information to the LA Fitness website. The website does not list plans for specific clubs. But the Kent club, 1340
W. Smith St., closed Thursday and members were able to use the LA Fitness at 520 Washington Ave. S., according to a woman who answered the Kent Bally phone on Dec. 2. Bally Total Fitness sold its Kent club Nov. 30 to the LA Fitness chain as part of a nationwide sale of 171 clubs for an estimated $153 million. Chicago-based Bally also will sell its other Washington locations in Federal Way, Bellevue, Puyallup, Tacoma, Olympia and Lyn-
nwood. LA Fitness posted the following update on its website, including information that all Bally employees will be laid off but can apply for new positions: “We’re pleased to announce that Fitness International, LLC, an affiliate of LA Fitness International, LLC, has completed the acquisition of 171 former Bally Total Fitness locations. You can find the acquired clubs now in our list of club locations. Our objective in general
is to make this transition as easy as possible for both the members and employees. We will be servicing all of the membership agreements that were acquired from Bally. The majority of the acquired clubs will remain open, but some will be closing before the end of the year. If we close a facility, we will transfer those members’ agreements to a nearby facility, either an acquired Bally or an LA Fitness. We plan to add new equipment to many of the clubs, and we also have
plans to remodel, expand or relocate a number of the clubs to larger and newer facilities. The employees at the clubs we acquired will no longer be employed by Bally, but we hope that they will apply for positions with us.“ Bally sent an email to club members to announce the sale: “Bally Total Fitness has made the decision to focus our portfolio of fitness centers in certain key markets,” according to the
email. “As a result, we will be transitioning ownership of a number of our clubs, including your home club, to Fitness International, LLC, an affiliate of LA Fitness International, LLC. “LA Fitness will take over the clubs it is acquiring and assume your membership agreement effective Dec. 1, 2011. As a result your payments will be collected by LA Fitness going forward using the same account as did BallySM. You can find more details on our website and at www.lafitness.com.”

Swim teams streamlining while Kentwood’s Denert aims higher
With new coach Michael Dobner, Kentridge had reason to enter the boys swim season with an optimistic mood. After placing seventh at state last year, the Chargers recently competed its first season meet Nov. 29 against Thomas Jefferson. “The team performed excellent to start the season,” Dobner wrote in an email interview. In his second year with Kentridge, Dober was an assistant coach last year before replacing Erin Schulze this season. Dober wrote that he intends to continue the success from last year and build upon the strong base. “Our team performed outstanding last year,” he said. “The season was a huge success. Overall, our team had great teamwork in our practice and at meets. I love their attitude and motivation to figure out and pick up any skill that they want to add to their stroke to improve their time.” With 21 new swimmers out of 36 total, Dobner has had to teach his athletes more than swimming. He initially had to use an interpreter to effectively communicate with the swimmers as the assistant coach because he is deaf. “I have loved coaching since seventh grade,” Dobner wrote. “It takes a lot to learn how to communicate. When I am with a new team, it will take a while to learn the communication between the team and I.” Dobner wrote the team has not had any difficulty learning sign language. “Luckily, I was assistant
coach last year and the head coach helped me if I did not understand the swimmers,” he wrote. “It takes time to learn how they speak, and later on they will know how to communicate with me better.” Dobner also writes most of the workout sets on paper so the swimmers can read it before practice. “It’s a lot of the foundation that I put myself together in my coaching skills in order to be a successful coach,” he said. Despite the influx of new swimmers, Dobner wrote he expects the team to improve. “My expectations for this team is for them to show their commitment, communication and support,” he wrote. “I am pretty excited about this year and there will be lots of fun competition. We have been undefeated for six seasons. I am sure that we will not have a problem in continuing another undefeated season.” Several returners include sophomore Chase Bulitz, who placed second in state in the 50 and 100 yard freestyle. Dober is convinced he will break the school records in the 50 and 100 freestyle, as well as the 100 fly, which are currently held by Greg Hulse, one of the assistant coaches. “I don’t think I have ever seen a freshman, who is so young and incredibly fast… before in my coaching career,” Dobner wrote. “I am eying several swimmers who will have a breakout during this season, but we will see how that goes.”

DIVING IN
December 9, 2011
KENTWOOD After competing in their first meet of the season Dec. 1 against Auburn Riverside, the Conks are optimistic about their upcoming season. Although they lost by a close margin, the team managed to achieve 77 personal records. “That’s incredible,” coach Sharon Wright said. “We did amazing.” Much of this improvement is due to last year, when the team consisted of 24 swimmers, 12 of whom were freshman who had little to no experience in swimming. “I did a lot of educating last year in the program,” she explained. “Last year was challenging. They didn’t know anything about high school swimming. Last year was not about the total score. It was about educating in high school sports, scoring and training.” With a strong foundation built by returners like Kevin Maloy, John lye Davis and Logan Stoick, Wright believes that the time invested in teaching the freshman from last year will yield a strong return this season. “I feel like we’ve improved a lot,” sophomore Brian Wright said. “When we’re seniors, we’re going to be really fast.” Leading them, however, is senior diver Jesse Denert, who set school-record performance at last years district meet of 333.5. At the league meet, he took first place with 328 points. He went on to place seventh at state. “He’s pretty phenomenal,” Wright said. “Just an amazing individual.” Denert took first place at the Dec. 1 meet with a

CHARLES CORTES, The Reporter total of 250 points of out six dives. “It’s not where I want to be at the end of the season,” Denert said. “But, it’s better than last year.” At last year’s state championship, Denert played the Star Spangled Banner on his violin before competing. “It was really fun,” he said. “I’ve never done improvising, but it was fun to
play around the pool. It has such a big sound.” Like Wright, Denert feels the team’s improvement is beginning to show. “Not knowing times, it seems that everyone’s working hard,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of depth.” “We’re a lot faster and a lot bigger,” sophomore

Kent cheer team wins first place BY SARAH KEHOE skehoe@kentreporter.com
The Kent Knights Cheerleaders flipped, twirled and tumbled their way to a first place championship trophy. “We all were in shock when they called our team name because we didn’t expect to win at all,� said Morgan Russell, 11. “We all were jumping up and down, hugging each other and just so excited.� The Kent Knights beat out 19 other teams Nov. 21 at the South Puget
Sound Junior Football League Cheer Championships. The competition consists of a 10-minute stunt, dance and cheer routine. “I told my girls that in my 18 years with Kent Knights, this year I believed our stunt and dance were the best I had ever seen,� said Michelle James, cheer director. “I also told them on our last practice that if they nail this routine, the trophy is ours. And they did.� There are 41 cheerleaders on the team, ages ranging from age 6-15. The

Dane Lalime said. “It’s a good thing because the team is still developing, which means we’re going to get better and better.�
After finishing fourth at last year’s South Puget Sound League and seventh at state, Kentlake is hoping to recover from losses due to graduation.

Kent Knights are a year-long nonprofit youth football and cheerleading league that lasts all year. The girls practiced three nights a week since Aug. 1st and cheered for the Kent Knight Football teams on the weekend. “We don’t mind all the hard work because we love cheerleading and practice is always so much fun,� said Adrianna Edwards, 13. “We all have gotten so close are happy to share in our victory together.�
Coach Seth Dawson said he has quite a few newcomers to the sport. “There are a lot of kids new to swimming in general,� Dawson said. “We lost a ton of seniors.� Compounding that is the much smaller team. Although they won their first meet Dec. 1 against Kent-Meridian, Dawson stated the team will need to regain its depth. “We’ve got a smaller team than we did last year,� Dawson said. “We’ve got a young team. It’s going to be challenging and a lot of work. It’s kind of one of those rebuilding years.� Returning swimmers include junior Eric Fulmer, who swam fifth in the 200 medley and seventh in the 100 backstroke. Dawson hopes they will be able to compete at state in several relays, though he added “it’s go-
ing to be tough.�
KENT-MERIDIAN The Royals started the season with a rough start, with only half of its swimmers able to compete at its first meet Dec. 1 against Kentlake. Coach Aaron Von stated only 11 out of 27 swimmers were able to compete due to their inability to pay the $100 necessary or grades, as the financial situation has hit students hard. “All of the KM families don’t have that sort of money,� he said. Fortunately, the team will benefit from Von’s experience. It is his 11th year coaching. Since 2000, he acted as assistant coach and just this year took over as head coach. Last year Kent-Meridian achieved its first win in seven season, and Von looks to add more this year with performances by seniors Matt Rolan

I’m expecting good things out of Dominic for the next couple of years.�
TAHOMA The Bears have two main goals coming into this season, according to coach Katie Standford. One, to have 60 percent of the team make it to league. Two, to make compete in more than one event. So far, she said, they are well on their way to reaching those goals. “The team’s going well,� she said. “It’s a smaller team this year.� In fact, after a having a 63-member team last year, Standford said she was forced to cut for the first
time since she took over as coach in 2008. Last year, the team had a 5-3 league record, placed sixth at the league meet, and set a state record for 200-yard medley team. “The team did really well last year,� Standford said. “The boys worked really hard.� Returning swimmers include senior Josh Benson, juniors Mitch Halbert and Michael Cox as well as sophomore Tyler Rink. Halbert, who participated on the 200 medley relay team last year, hake it to state and set a record. “I’m anticipating the meet,� he said. “I can’t wait for state.� Benson said he’s concentrating on shortening his 200 yard time, as well as the team’s 400 medley relay time, 3:28.77, which broke the state record. “We’ll break it again,� Benson said.

STOLEN VEHICLE Officers arrested a woman and a man for investigation of possession of a stolen vehicle at about 7:28 p.m. Nov. 29 in the 26800 block of 108th Avenue Southeast after the woman reportedly took the vehicle from her uncle in Wapato without permission. The uncle reported his Ford Explorer as stolen to the Yakima County Sheriff ’s Office after his niece borrowed the vehicle to go visit her aunt in a nursing home near the uncle’s home and never returned.
A relative in Kent called 911 after the niece and two men had arrived at his house in the Ford Explorer and then left eastbound on Southeast 256th Street. Officers pulled over the vehicle and discovered that one of the men was driving the Ford. That man also was arrested for investigation of third-degree driving while license suspended. Police released the second man. The niece told police that her uncle had given her the vehicle as a reward for staying off drugs. She said she drove to Kent Nov. 26 from Wapato to visit friends and celebrate her birthday. Police also arrested the woman and driver for investigation of violation of the controlled substance act.
ASSAULT Police cited and release a woman for investigation of fourth-degree assault after she allegedly punched a former boyfriend in the face and scratched his face during a dispute Nov. 30 at a home in the 11300 block of Southeast 226th Street. The former boyfriend still lived with the woman and their two children, according to the police report. The ex-boyfriend told police he became upset when he saw photos of the woman with another man. He threw the picture frames to the floor and started to pack his things to leave. He said the woman then grabbed his neck, scratched him in the face and punched him in the face. Officers noted that the man
had scratches on his face. The woman told officers the man had yelled at her close to her face, so she pushed him away. The officers determined that the woman was the primary aggressor because the man did not assault her. They cited and released the woman because the man had left the home to go stay with his mother.
ILLEGAL LIGHTS Police cited and released a man for a traffic violation of an illegal tinted lens over his vehicle’s brake and taillights at about 9:34 a.m. Nov. 30 along 132nd Avenue Southeast. The officer saw the car drive by and noticed the brake lights were dimmer than normal, according to the police report. Under state law, the addition of a lamp, reflective device or other motor vehicle equipment must not impair the effectiveness of lighting equipment as required by law. When the officer walked up to the car, he noticed the smell of marijuana. The man agreed to take a field sobriety test and passed the test. The man also showed the officer a medical marijuana card from California. The officer did not cite the man for any type of drug violation.

www.kentreporter.com Other founders of the group include Barbara Phillips, Joseph Jones, Ray Lee, Willie Wright and Brenda Fincher. Tate described one of the tap roots of KBAC was his work in the school district involving diversity issues in the late 1980s and early 90s. After retiring from the district, he helped found the organization PAID, People Advocating Involvement in Democracy. “We were partnering with the school district,” Tate said. “Most were black, some whites including Leslie (Hamada). There was also an Alaskan Indian, 14 all together.” Tate said PAID first met in 1994-95 and reformed again in 2007. Out of that organization came the Kent School District Diversity
Task Force and the Alliance for Diversity and Equity, which is still in existence. After years working with PAID and other organization in the region, Tate said he decided it was time to back out of the frontline leadership role. As the group and founders looked for a direction and leadership, KBAC was born with many of the members from PAID and other organizations coming together during the early summer months. Allen said she became involved in July as the first group of founders gathered to discuss what KBAC should do as an organization. “Everyone talks about the disunity in Kent,” Allen said. “We needed to do something rather than gather at our churches. We
needed to come together as a group. Come together so people know there is a group and we can find out what everyone else is doing.” The first event occurred Oct. 22 at the Kent Senior Center. It lasted from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. with speakers, discussions and a call to action. The next gathering was Nov. 12 called an “Action up orientation” at the Kent Commons. Folks came together and formed committees and signed up for future events. James is an articulate speaker who gives voice to many of the KBAC issues at the meetings. During an interview, James said the initial steps for KBAC has been to “inform and inspire the community” to take action.
According to James, once people are inspired to take action, next will come the strategy of public service. He said, “What we have to do with the black community is meet the real need of the community.” James said he believes because of the rapid increase of population and diverse cultures in Kent, the city and community has not been able to keep up with the problems at times. Some of the issues he underlined for KBAC was finding black mentors for black youths. “Why is that a mother is not helping her son study at night,” James said. “There is a reason why. Let’s find out.” He also noted the high numbers of blacks, Latinos and Native Americans in prisons as another symptom of the community

Box 552 Ravensdale, WA 98051 Published in Kent Reporter on December 9, 16, 23, 30, 2011; January 6, 13, 2012. #554059.. The City of Kent, 220 4th Avenue South, is seeking coverage under the Washington State Department of Ecology’s Construction Stormwater NPDES and State Waste Discharge General Permit. The proposed project, Boeing Levee Improvement is located at 3 Friends Fishing Hole Park at South 200th Street and 58th Place South in Kent in King County. This project involves approximately 2.5 acres of soil disturbance for levee improvement related construction activities. The main purpose of the project is to construct a new secondary levee adjacent to the existing levee on the right (east) bank of the Green River in order to meet FEMA standards for the 100 year flood levee certification. Clean fill, meeting the geotech consultant’s recommendations, will be obtained from permitted excavation sites. Fill material includes sand and gravel, which will make up the majority of the berm. Topsoil will be placed over the berm in

locations of the undeveloped parcels, and asphalt pavement and associated road/trail improvements within the respective sections. The approximate amount of fill is 9,550 cubic yards. Best Management Practices will be planned, implemented and maintained to control erosion potential throughout the entire course of the project. The site will have a plan to manage stormwater and water quality sampling will be conducted which will help to ensure that environmental damage does not occur. Stormwater will be discharged to the Green River via the city’s municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4). The Green River is impaired for dissolved oxygen and temperature, however there will be no construction activity that will affect the river’s dissolved oxygen levels or temperature. Any persons desiring to present their views to the Washington State Department of Ecology regarding this application, or interested in Ecology’s action on this application, may notify Ecology in writing no later than 30 days of the last date of publication of this notice. Ecology reviews public comments and considers whether discharges from this project would cause a measurable change in receiving water quality, and, if so, whether the project is necessary and in the overriding public interest according to Tier II antidegradation requirements under WAC 173-201A-320. Comments can be submitted to: Department of Ecology Attn: Water Quality Program, Construction Stormwater P.O.

problem. “We love our kids like anyone else,” James said. “We have to build a sense of community in the black community.” James noted that blacks, whites and everyone in the community must understand racism. “Not just white people, (but) black people, we as people of color have to learn about racism,” James said. He describes it as cultural competency training, stating that, “90 percent of the problem isn’t personal racism, it’s institutional racism.” Tate said the key is connecting to the community. “You have to have community member support,” Tate said. “That is the key. Institutions will go back to serving itself if there is no one to maintain it.” While working on diversity issues for the school district, Tate said the majority of the problems involved helping the “community understand the school institution.”
[19]
He said it is important that the “institution and the people the institution are serving are working together and serving each other.” Tate also noted there is a need for groups like KBAC to form that are outside of institutions and “totally independent.” Over the next months or years KBAC will take form and define its identity with leaders like Allen, James and Tate “We are a voice in the south (King) county region,” Allen said. “We need to come together for ourselves.” For James the essence of the philosophy of KBAC is at every meeting to have action at the end. “This is the transformation of a community,” James said. “My view of God is to go address the people’s issues.” Reach Dennis Box at dbox@ kentreporter.com or 253872-6600 ext. 5050.
