Police seeking tips to find Kent woman’s killer BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com
Guy
More than a week after the murder of a Kent woman in West Seattle, Seattle Police are still seeking more tips to help solve the case. Detectives are investigating the killing of 51-year-old Greggette Renee
Guy whose body was found March 12 floating in the Puget Sound offshore of West Seattle. “We have received some tips and are following up on those,” said Mark Jamieson, Seattle Police spokesman, during a phone interview Monday. “We encourage anyone who has information to contact us.”
Guy’s death is an active homicide investigation. Jamieson would not comment about the cause of death of Guy. The King County Medical Examiner’s Office released the identification of Guy March 15 but said the cause of death is pending an investigation by the Seattle Police. At approximately 7:30 a.m. March 12,
a resident reported seeing a body floating in Puget Sound approximately 30 feet offshore of the 3800 block of Beach Drive Southwest. Detectives responded to the scene and determined two days later that the death was a homicide. Detectives believe Guy parked her 2010 Buick Lacrosse in the 4400 block [ more HOMICIDE page 4 ]

HAVEN FOR THE HOMELESS? Proposed downtown shelter draws opposition, concerns BY MARK KLAAS mklaas@kentreporter.com
A man of faith and compassion, Terry Pallas naturally extends a hand to help the homeless.
It is an obligation, a demanding role as shelter director for Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission. Pallas and his group, an association of churches committed to easing homelessness, say they have made an impact in affected communities. Recognizing a growing problem closer to home, Pallas wants to do something significant in Kent. The
Union Gospel Mission and its partners – notably the Kent Homelessness Partnership Effort (KentHOPE) and Valley Cities – wish to open a day center and overnight shelter in the downtown area. The group is interested in leasing and transforming the publicly [ more SHELTER page 5 ]
A dead bald eagle found this month in Kent likely died from a territorial dispute with another eagle. A Kent woman found the eagle March 8 near Panther Lake, not far from where two eagles had created a nest. The woman had a relative take the eagle to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Law Enforcement office in Redmond, according to an email from Doug Zimmer, spokesman for the state Department of Fish and Wildlife. “Examination revealed that the bird likely died from injuries received in a territorial dispute with another eagle,” Zimmer said in the email. “Territorial disputes are usually not fatal but it does happen.” The woman who found the eagle said she didn’t want to talk about the incident to avoid drawing attention to the nest location.

Zimmer elaborated about eagle fights during a phone interview. “They fight in the air and most of the time it results in driving off the other bird,” he said. “Sometimes, there is a double fatality. Twice in my 30 years (of work) both have crashed to the ground.” Zimmer said that the eagle’s death did not have any [ more EAGLE page 4 ]
District students get hooked on technology to learn BY TJ MARTINELL AND SARAH KEHOE tmartinell@maplevalleyreporter.com skehoe@kentreporter.com
New technology is not just for teachers. Students now have many tools at their disposal they didn’t
even have five years ago. While laptops, document cameras and PowerPoint presentations have replaced overhead projectors, Dry Erase Markers and transparencies for educators,
technology tools are replacing hard copies of text books, pen and paper for students. Ninth-graders in the Kent School District were issued laptops at the start of the school year. Tahoma
grade schoolers have been using Netbooks for two years while other bleeding edge technologies are finding their way into the hands of students. [ more TECHNOLOGY page 9 ]

Kent Police add more flashing signals for school zone safety
KENT
LOCAL
McKenna to make education a priority if elected governor
POLICE ACADEMY OFFERED The Kent Police Department invites residents to join officers for an informative series of classes about law enforcement. Classes start on Wednesday evening, March 28, and run for a six-week period. Registration and additional information about this class is available at www.kentwa.gov/ communitypoliceaccademy. Additional information or assistance can also be found by emailing ppetersen@kentWA. gov or by calling 253-856-5877.
In a continuing effort to keep local students safe during the school day, the Kent Police Department has partnered with the Washington State Traffic Safety Commission to purchase and install flashing signals for school zones located throughout the city. Funding for these high-visibility signals comes from Traffic Safety grants that pay for the flashing lights, lighting hardware and approved signs and markings. School zones are utilized to alert drivers, save lives, and prevent serious injuries. They are located in close proximity to elementary schools throughout the City and are intended to provide safe access routes for students. Reduced speed limits are one of the tools used to increase safety in school zones. These flashing signals augment the reduced speed limit by providing a visual cue that alert drivers to the presence of young students and the reduced speed limit.
SeaTac man sentenced to 15 years for sex trafficking; Kent Police initiated case BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com
A SeaTac man was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Seattle to 15 years in prison and 15 years of supervised release for sex trafficking through force, fraud and coercion. Ronnie Leon Tramble, 29, will also have to pay restitution to five women he forced to work as prostitutes, according to a media release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office. The amount of restitution will be determined at a later hearing. Tramble first came to the attention of law

The girl told police how Tramble beat and coerced her, and how he advertised her as a prostitute on Backpage.com. “So many of these victims were juveniles and vulnerable,” U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour said at the March 16 sentencing. U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan promised to keep going after criminals similar to Tramble. “Sex trafficking is a horrific crime, that often preys upon our most vulnerable citizens: young children and teens,” Durkan said. “We will continue to target people like Ronnie Tramble who victimize our youth. Our community is safer with this defendant off the streets.”

Ask Your Lawyer by Dan Kellogg
BUYING A HOME? When purchasing a home, a real estate attorney may be as important to you as a real estate agent. Whether or not the state requires a lawyer to be part of the home buying process, an attorney may perform the invaluable service of overseeing the entire process, including checking for compliance with all the terms and conditions of the sales contract. Real estate attorneys may also perform a title search, explain the effect of any easements or use restrictions, negotiate or represent you in a contract dispute with the seller, and represent you at the closing. Other services include reviewing covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs); community interest development agreements; co-op proprietary leases; and new-home contracts drawn up by the developer. Clearly, there are many good reasons to get an experienced real estate attorney involved in your home purchase. That’s why, if you’re buying a home or just have questions, you should call my office at (425) 227-8700 to make an appointment today. I have more than 35 years of experience dealing with all aspects of real estate law and can make sure that the process goes smoothly, with no unpleasant surprises along the way.

As American seniors continue to redefine “old age,� they may also be casting “retirement� in a new light in the process. Many people don’t even want to retire. According to a recent survey, slightly more than one-third of those asked about their retirement plans indicated they like keeping busy and want to work, although some would take on “less responsibility.� Other American seniors’ retirement plans are guided by how much they have in the bank. According to three-quarters of those surveyed, the amount a person has saved, not his or her age, should guide retirement decisions. Only 20 percent believe that a person should simply pick an age and quit working no matter how much money he or she has.

connection to reports of a property owner possibly cutting trees near the nest on Kent’s East Hill. “The nest is in a relatively urban area with houses around it,� Zimmer said. “Several years ago we had a case with tree cutting by a landowner near the nest.� That case resulted in state wildlife officials telling the property owner what could legally be done near eagle nests. The landowner agreed to voluntarily replant trees that had been cut. The incident last month had to do with branches knocked down by the January storms as state wildlife officials again contacted the property owner after complaint calls.
“We made sure everyone understands the guidelines around an eagle nest,� Zimmer said. “There was no violation. Everyone was reminded to be responsible.� Eagles are protected by federal law under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act enacted in 1940 and amended several times since then, that prohibits anyone, without a permit issued by the Secretary of the Interior, from taking bald eagles, including their parts, nests, or eggs.

‘Wrong location’ Sandy Newby, owner and stylist for Rain & Co. Salon/ Spa, put it succinctly: “(It) is the right solution, wrong location.� Other business owners are reluctant to strike a deal. Others are willing to negotiate. “I want some guarantees,� said Alex Dittmar, owner of The Airways Brewing Beer & Bistro. “I would not agree to anything where the city enters an agreement and business owners don’t have a say into how this is affecting them. “To me, the only responsible way to do this is to have performance standards in writing that are first reviewed by business owners who could be impacted by this
shelter,� Dittmar said. “And second of all, (let’s) have review periods where business owners have a chance to comment and say, ‘You know what? This is not working. And if it’s not working, it needs to stop.’� Jim Berrios is doing whatever he can to run a East Hill restaurant and help the homeless. He does what he can, applauds police’s effort to ensure safety, but admits he cannot do it alone. “Somehow we need to come together to address this issue,� said Berrios, owner of Golden Steer Restaurant who serves on the Chamber board. “I’m willing to help out, but at the same time I cannot afford to lose customers.� A few business owners support the shelter proposal. Michael Manderville, who owns and operates Caring Hands Transportation, is one of them. Raised in Kent, he has seen former classmates, even neighbors fall into homelessness. “It’s here. What are we going to do about it?,� he said. “I want to do business in a city that takes care of the most vulnerable. “It’s common sense to me, in the short term, where people hanging out on the streets have a place to go. In the long term, teaching them the services and skills needed to find work will keep them off the streets.� With a population of 118,200, Kent is the sixthlargest city in the state. “We’re big time now,� Manderville said. “Maybe it’s time to start acting like a grown-up city and take care of the homeless like we

The most effective treatment for Alzheimer’s may be sitting on your cupboard shelf. Recently a medical doctor, Mary T. Newport, M.D., discovered the effectiveness of coconut oil in fighting neurodegeneration while researching a new drug. Dr. Newport’s husband, Steve, began to develop signs of Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Newport searched endlessly for ways to curb the progression of the disease. She discovered that the active ingredients in Ketasyn were medium chain triglycerides (MCTs)–which are derived from coconut oil. After putting her husband on coconut oil he began to get better. The progression of the Alzheimer’s stopped and his condition improved. How do the medium chain triglycerides in coconut oil fight Alzheimer’s disease? During digestion, MCTs are broken down into medium chain fatty acids, some of which are converted into ketones. Nerve tissue, including the brain, relies on glucose for energy, nerve cells can also convert ketones into energy. When food is restricted and adequate glucose is unavailable, the body converts fat into ketones, which supplies the brain with energy it needs to function properly. Ketones do not require the aid of insulin to pass through cell membranes. Therefore, they can supply brain cells with needed energy regardless of insulin status. Nerve compromised brain cells that are starving for nourishment can get the energy they need from ketones the body manufactures from coconut oil. Newport laments that had she known about MCTs, she could have begun treating her husband who suffers from Alzheimer’s, sooner. “Realistically speaking, I cannot expect him to fully recover.� She believes his mind would not have deteriorated to the state it is in today if she could have started him on the coconut oil when the symptoms first arose. In fact, he may have retained all of his mental capabilities.

should.â€? Lake City businessman Joseph Simmons, who owns property in Kent and has been a member of the Kent Downtown Partnership for many years, has witnessed an increase in homelessness since a Union Gospel Mission-backed shelter was established in Lake City last November. “If you think this shelter will get the homeless off the streets of Kent, you are mistaken,â€? Simmons said. “You will find, like in Lake City, where we had 20 homeless people, we are now serving 50. “By having this shelter, you will create a ripple or wave effect of individuals who will just use the day services, but not be able to want to sleep there.â€? Shelter proponents say they will operate a safe and supervised environment, replete with necessary treatment and counseling services. Despite volunteers efforts and support groups who provide community dinners, downtown lunches and other services, there is a critical need for a shelter in Kent, according to Pat Gray, of the Kent United Methodist Church, who supports the shelter. “If you had the choice to walk the streets of Kent and sleep outside or be in a day center and shelter, what would you chose?â€? she said. “None of us is happy with the way things are now. We have real issues to deal with in Kent. ‌ Hopefully, we can come together and

owned and former city of Kent Resource Center – a two-story, 5,700-squarefoot building at 315 E. Meeker St. – into a multiservice homeless shelter. KentHOPE and the Union Gospel Mission indicated they would finance the shelter through fundraising efforts by tapping into its network of donors, churches and foundations. They vow to completely cover operational costs. Approached by the group, city officials are far from making a decision, let alone entertaining a proposal. A city committee is in the outreach phase of gathering feedback through focus groups of business people, neighborhood associations and faith communities. Pallas, who lives a couple of blocks from the proposed shelter, says it is time to effectively deal with what he sees is a growing homelessness problem in Kent. He made that clear at a business community forum March 14 at the ShoWare Center. The Kent Chamber of Commerce and Kent Downtown Partnership presented the forum. “This is an issue, a problem that is not going to leave Kent anytime soon,â€? Pallas told civic leaders, business owners and concerned residents. “As a matter of fact, if anything ‌ we’ve been able to project that it is just going to get worse. “We would like to come alongside the Kent neighborhood,â€? he said. “Let’s partner in this together.â€?
Not everyone is convinced that a downtown shelter is a good idea. Many business owners – those with stores and shops long established or recently opened, large or small – are worried that a shelter would bring more problems to a district struggling to regain its financial footing amid a sour economy. “(It) could have consequences in the future ‌ it is not in the best interest of the downtown,â€? summed up John Hinds, general manager of the Kent Station shopping mall. Hinds and proprietors say they are sympathetic to the plight of the homeless, yet question the location of a potential shelter. Business owners say they are willing to find solutions for the homeless, but not at the expense of potentially losing business.

Spent Sunday watching a Book TV show I recorded on my DVR. I liked the show because I could listen to it while I made some brown and green food even God wouldn’t eat. Thanks to my friendly doctor, that is what my life has devolved into – Sundays spent making food without names or other features you can identify. The Book TV show peaked the fun meter, however. Jeffery Rosen, Harvard Law professor and an editor with The New Republic, was talked about the clash of the privacy, search and seizure and other Constitutional issues in the current world of Google, Facebook and other social media. The program will be broadcast again Saturday on C-SPAN. I think it is worth listening to and considering. Will our Constitution address the Internet world of social media? Does the power of Google and the company’s decisions on what hits the top of search sites trouble us? The collection of information by Facebook and other sites brings up a myriad of privacy problems and the questions once again point back to our Constitution. Rosen posed an intriguing problem, the Constitution protects us from government search and seizure and invasions of our privacy, but when it comes to social media and Internet sites things get cloudy. So a potential employer can demand to see an applicant’s personal Facebook page, which opens up a privacy can of worms. If some company wanted to look into my life through Facebook for a job, I can see how the interview would go. “We’re not going to hire you. You eat like a crazy person and blow things up in microwaves.” “Only occasionally.” “You eat like a bunny and we are pretty sure you are weird and boring. You are fired before you are hired.” Our future threat to liberty and the pursuit of happiness may be far less a problem with a government, and more likely to come

Wrong place for a homeless shelter A proposed homeless shelter on East Meeker is the wrong use for that site. It is located within the downtown zone. Even though we are the sixth largest city in the state, our downtown is very fragile. I trust that the City Council knows this and will treat our downtown with care. Drive down West Meeker and note all of the empty storefronts. Those few merchants who are doing business are struggling daily to meet their expenses. Our focus on downtown Kent needs to be that we do everything we can do to attract and keep retail business, so the downtown can thrive. Kent Station can complement the downtown, and the downtown can in turn complement Kent Station. To allow a homeless shelter within this area will delay and perhaps inhibit the population growth that we need to support the retail business that we so badly need.
Letters policy The Kent Reporter welcomes letters to the editor on any subject. Letters must include a name, address and daytime phone number for verification purposes. Letters may be edited for length. Letters should be no more than 250 words in length. Submissions may be printed both in the paper and electronically. I will also note that directly across the street from the proposed shelter is the Hong Kong Market. The owners invested a lot of money to bring their market to Kent. It appears to be very successful as the parking areas are always full. This market also provides the city with tax revenue. If the city does not want to use the building for services or even storage, then let’s sell it and let private business use it as they wish. This would put the property on the tax rolls,

KENT
OPINION
www.kentreporter.com
Irresponsible budgets hurt education. Two weeks ago we joined a bipartisan majority of state senators to present a long-term sustainable
budget that doesn’t spend more money than the state expects to collect. This proposal not only addresses the remaining 16 months left in the current two-year budget cycle, but also the next two-year budget cycle through mid-2015. Families and small businesses face serious consequences if they do not
live within their means and plan for the future; state government is no different. We represent our constituents with the shared belief that education is the single most important part of maintaining and improving our state. Since the initial Senate budget proposal, we have worked to
thus, providing more revenue for the city. I have property in downtown Kent that has been vacant for three years. The homeless have continually used my property to build their “nests.” They are very creative. They also leave trash behind, soiled clothing and defecate at will. As a result, I have had to hire someone to check daily for garbage and trash so when the property is shown to a prospective buyer, there is no evidence of homeless use. The homeless people who use my property will continue to do so as long as the property is vacant, even if the shelter is provided. There is a reason why these individuals choose to be separate from the general population. The question before you is whether the best use for the building is a $1 dollar per year lease from the city of Kent. I strongly encourage you to seek a better, more valuable solution. – Dee Moschel [ more LETTERS page 7 ]
restore not only all basic-education funding but other key services as well. One of the programs for which we have been able to restore funding is called Working Connections Child Care; it helps educate our youngest children while allowing their parents to pursue their own education or work goals putting them on a path to selfsufficiency.

Homeless shelter is just a bad idea Few in our city object to services for the homeless. I certainly do not. We know that our tax dollars are used for those services. We are OK with that. Many of us also donate and volunteer for that cause. Nearly all of us have a warm spot in our heart for the Union Gospel Mission. An issue like this quickly gets entangled in political correctness and warm fuzziness. In this economy, those are niceties we cannot afford. This decision needs to be by a process that is cleareyed and hard-headed. People’s livelihoods and Kent’s business vitality and resurgence depend on the city not botching this. We do not concede the high ground – that somehow the Union Gospel Mission and the other proponents of the shelter have an exclusive on the side of the angels. We are all warriors in the battle against homelessness.
I believe that the risks we businesses take and the investments and sacrifices we make for our businesses are every bit as honorable, virtuous and praiseworthy as what our allies like the Union Gospel Mission are doing on the other end of the front line in this battle. I challenge any implication that we are somehow being less compassionate as we take a position to protect the businesses in our city. I am a longtime Kent resident and business owner. For several years, I have had a special interest in the vitality of our downtown. My business is located a couple of miles from the proposed shelter site, so we are not physically impacted by the shelter. My business depends in substantial part, however, on the vitality of our fellow Kent businesses, so we do consider ourselves a stakeholder in this process. The city, the Kent Downtown Partnership and Chamber of Commerce have made real progress over the past several years in revitalizing the retail business district in downtown Kent. It has been very
difficult, and the successes we have had are incremental and precarious. Even under the best of circumstances, it would not take much to tip the balance back the other way, and we could find ourselves once again facing increased vacancies, derelict buildings, blight and the homelessness that goes along with that. At the meeting sponsored by the KDP and the Chamber last Wednesday, representatives of several of the city’s retail success stories (grocers, restaurants,
professional offices, salons, Kent Station) were nearly unanimous in the view that a shelter in that location would harm the successes they’ve achieved at the expense of their blood, sweat, tears and financial commitment in our city. This location may not even be the most beneficial to the city’s efforts to deal with homelessness. Please consider putting the same money and effort to the benefit of our many existing services who already make a valiant commitment to
deal with the homeless in Kent. Resources may be far better spent helping them in their mission than in bringing in a new player. If the Union Gospel Mission comes, and if it has the negative effects many of us believe are inevitable, it will put a stigma on all such agencies and efforts, damaging them all in their mission. I urge the city to return to the drawing board on this one. Your hearts are in the right place, but this is just a bad idea. – Mike Hanis

www.kentreporter.com [ TECHNOLOGY from page 1 ] FROM THE PENCIL TO THE IPAD
Through the use of funds generated by the 2010 technology levy, Tahoma students have access to a wide variety of software programs and digital equipment. One department where technology has made huge inroads has been special education in the Tahoma School District. Carol Banks, special services coordinator, says the new software and equipment have opened new opportunities for students who either suffer from physical or academic disabilities. Apple iPads, with their accessible and normal aesthetic appearance, have been among the more popular devices among those students. “They’re very interactive for our kids,” she said. “Our kids are really engaged.” Along with the iPad are a myriad of software programs, which are available to students. Freshmen at Kent-Meridian High — like those across the district in its one-to-one program — were issued laptops at the start of the school year. Students work with Adobe Photoshop, create and edit videos and use Moodle, a place for kids to turn in assignments, view grades and receive assignments from teachers. Other technology in the KentMeridian classrooms include SMART boards and digital cameras. “Having a laptop really helps me learn,” said Anya Cheban, a Kent-Meridian freshman. “This will benefit me a lot because most jobs now deal with technology, so it’s good to learn now.” Teens at K-M say their laptops make them better students. “It makes me more interested in the stuff being taught in class and it makes me more organized,” said freshman Vinnie Malietufa. “When the time comes for a test or something, I don’t have to try and dig for my notes in my locker or bag because they’re in a folder on my computer.” Sophomore Taniel Mathia says the laptops have helped him boost his grades. “I’m a visual learner and so the computers have really helped me because I can look at what the teacher is talking about on my
Kent-Meridian High School sophomores Renata Chebotarera, left, and Izabella Zayshlyy study on their laptops during class. Students are using new technology in the classroom to complete their assignments. SARAH KEHOE, Kent Reporter screen,” he said. Some students described the laptops as a second instructor. “Before the laptops came, we only got information and help from our teacher,” said Ruby Virk, a sophomore. “Now we have extra resources online to help us soak up a concept. We can use Google to look up something we don’t understand.” The laptops also have enabled students to access textbooks on their computers instead of turning the pages in hard copy textbooks. “It’s so much nicer to have the textbook online,” Virk said. “Then we don’t have to haul around these heavy books in our backpacks.” The students admitted they sometimes do get distracted by their laptops in the classroom. “I’ve noticed many students playing games instead of listening or taking notes during a class, but only if the teacher is talking on and on or we are watching a boring video,” said freshman Peyton Hatlen. Hatlen pointed out teachers have access to each students’ computer and can stop a student who is misusing it. Administration has blocked student access to social media sites, including Facebook
and Tumblr. “If a teacher catches you using you computer for a bad reason, they can send you a message that will say, ‘big brother is watching you,’ which creeps us out so we usually stop,” Hatlen said. The students are interested in getting more technology in the classroom. They mentioned they’d be interested in an iPad, sleeker laptops and Xbox Kinect. “Using technology to learn really captures our attention. It makes boring things more interesting and it inspires us to do our work,” Hatlen said. Students also can share their work through the use of Google Docs, which allows all of them to access and edit the same file online.
USING TECHNOLOGY TO ENGAGE
While many students say Netbooks and Internet access have made much of their classwork easier, those in the special services department seem to have been impacted most. Banks explained that students can have learning impairments due to a variety of issues. For some, reading is problematic, while others have no problem reading, but struggle trying to
understand and process the information. Even then, there are students who can read and write just fine, but suffer from extreme timidity that prevents them from speaking up in class when they don’t understand a topic. Banks says with programs like Active Votes, students who once went through the day without understanding the concepts taught, can inform the teacher without revealing their identity. Furthermore, new equipment allows students more of an opportunity to interact, rather than passively listen during class. It also has helped individualize their learning pace, according to Kelli Sepanen-Proctor, who teaches Spanish at Kentwood. Through the use of online audio lessons that come free with the class textbook, her freshman students are able to listen to the lessons for as long, or little, as they desire. “It allows them to work at their own pace,” Proctor said. “If they need to listen to it five times, then they can. Others buzz through it. If students are absent they have access to it if they are gone.”

Not all students have embraced the technological changes. Those

who are more traditionally minded when it comes to classwork have had difficulty adapting to the new system, such as Derek Welch, a freshman at Kentlake. “The computer is good, but I’d rather have a textbook,” he said. “I don’t know why. I just like having a textbook. I think it’s better to flip through pages than to scroll up and down a screen.” Fellow Kentlake freshman Xena Aguayo expressed a similar sentiment. “I’m more hands on of a person,” she said. “It’s more difficult (for her).” Welch and Aguayo said that while the district-issued laptops for ninth-graders allow his peers to easily identify each other in the halls and in classes, he doesn’t believe the laptops are as beneficial to students as it seems. “I don’t like carrying it around,” Welch said. “The main thing (benefit) is the kids know how to use computers.” With a textbook, he stated, students don’t have to worry about accidentally dropping it or having it easily damaged. Additionally, if they forget one textbook, it doesn’t include every other textbook, which is what happens when a student forgets his or her laptop. In some schools, he said, a student can receive detention for forgetting their laptop or its charger.

Officers ended up chasing a man across a field and over a fence before using a Taser on him after he allegedly took several items from a pharmacy at about 6 p.m. March 14 in the 20500 block of 108th Avenue Southeast. Officers arrested the man for investigation of third-degree theft, obstructing an officer and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to the police report. A store security officer called police
to report a shoplifter. When an officer arrived, he saw a man outside the store who fled on foot. A second officer joined the pursuit after he spotted the man running through a nearby apartment complex. He yelled at the man to stop, but the man kept running and hopped over a fence. The officer also climbed over the fence, caught up to the man and used a foot in the man’s chest to push him to the ground. The man tried to get up off the ground, so the officer kicked him in the ribs and told him to stay on the ground or he would use his Taser. When the man again tried to stand up, the officer fired his Taser and hit the man in the back with two darts. The man again tried to get up and was shot once more with a Taser before other officers showed up and helped to handcuff the man. Store security reported that the man allegedly took three bottles of vitamin supplements worth about $200 and a box of white strips worth $61. The man also carried a box that had three metal spoons with drug residue, 15 syringes and a hollow ink pen.
Assault Police arrested a man for investigation of fourth-degree assault after he allegedly grabbed his wife by her arms and tightly squeezed her during a dispute at about 8:30 p.m. March 13 at a home in the 12500 block of Southeast 212th Place. The wife told officers her husband became upset because she has a darts partner who is a man, according to the police report. She said he grabbed her arms and squeezed her so very hard that it hurt. Officers noted that the woman had fingernail indentations on her arms and both arms were red.

ficers with his other arm. An officer eventually used a chokehold to get the man to release the baby so they could enter the apartment to investigate a domestic dispute call, according to the police report. Police were dispatched to a call about a man trying to take his daughter from her mother at about 12:43 a.m. March 16 at an apartment in the 20600 block of 108th Avenue Southeast. Officers heard yelling as they arrived at the apartment. When the man answered the door, he refused to let officers come in. One officer tried holding a Taser to the man’s arm and later his leg and threatened to use it if he did not hand the baby to the woman in the unit. But the man reportedly refused to give up the baby or move away from the door, so an officer used what he called a “lateral vascular neck restraint� that caused the man to lose consciousness for what officers described as three to five seconds. Police then were able to get the baby, enter the unit and handcuffed the man.

www.kentreporter.com [ GUEST OP from page 6 ] Like many of you, we were concerned about the education-policy changes in the initial budget, but we also knew those concerns would be addressed before a final budget was approved. Despite the silence due to the lack of cooperation during negotiations, we have taken it upon ourselves to not waste time and instead used this past week to create solutions. On March 15, alongside many of our Senate col-
leagues, we released a new budget that addresses the concerns we had regarding support for education and programs that aid the most vulnerable. This updated Senate proposal is a viable approach that prioritizes long-term sustainability and restores all K-12 and higher education funding without making cuts to basic education or levyequalization payments, which keeps K-12 and higher education intact. The last thing our schools or colleges need is
a shortsighted approach that guarantees yet another budget deficit next year. The House proposes to invent a “13th month� for accounting purposes and shove all our problems there. If that plan were approved, we would be looking at a projected $2.1 billion shortfall next year. A deficit of this magnitude would pose a dangerous threat to basic education and devastate higher education. We are working together to shield the next generation from these attacks on their
future. We are dismayed with the gridlock in budget negotiations; that’s why we stepped forward with a willingness to listen and lead. The House’s refusal to consider our initial proposal has left us perplexed and disappointed. It is our hope that this new bipartisan plan will finally bring about a desire to work together. We are firmly committed to delivering a budget that protects education and allows our state to live within its means
now and in the future. We are confident that both chambers will work together to create a bipartisan plan a majority of lawmakers can support – a plan in which Washington residents can have confidence and one that still pursues the public’s core priorities, even during times of economic uncertainty. Sens. Joe Fain (R-Auburn, District 47), Andy Hill (R45), Steve Litzow (R-41) and Rodney Tom (D-48) serve on the Senate Early Learning and K-12 Education Committee.
THE CITY OF KENT has hired Lorraine Patterson as employee services director. Patterson replaces Sue Viseth, who retired in January after nearly 28 years with the city. Patterson assumes her new role April 5. Under the direction of Mayor Suzette Cooke, and as a member of the senior management team, Patterson will be responsible for providing executive leadership and direction for all human resources activities including recruitment, benefits, compensation analysis, labor negotiations, training and risk management.

Defending champions in the backyard Kentwood’s girls track and field team looks to pick up where it left off at the top of the state podium BY TJ MARTINELL

KENTLAKE TO HAVE TENNIS LEAGUE Kentlake High School offers a summer league for players ranging from beginners to upcoming state champions. Tyler Parsons, Kentlake boys coach and Todd Beamer girls coach, runs the program. To set up a lesson, call 206-799-114.
MIST PLANS PLAYER TRYOUTS The Kent-based Seattle Mist of the Lingerie Football League are looking for a few good women. Player tryouts are scheduled for 1 p.m. April 7 at the Wilson Playfields, 13028 SE 251t St., Kent. Registration starts at noon. Players are asked to bring a full-body picture of themselves as well as the registration paperwork found at www.lflus.com. Women should bring their own water. Turf shoes or cleats are recommended but not required.
peed and strength could likely be the scene on the oval as well as in the field this spring. Both defending 4A state boys and girls track and field champions are from the Kent School District, which means every team in the South Puget Sound League North division will be taking aim at Kentwood and Kent-Meridian, especially rivals Kentlake, Kentridge and Tahoma.
DEFENDING CONQUERORS
Last year, the Kentwood girls track team stood on top of the podium at the state championship, and the squad has every intention of doing it again this year. At the same time, head coach Steve Roach said he is not underestimating the competition. “With the girls, we hope to repeat, but it won’t be easy,� he said. “Our strengths are definitely in sprinting, but we have talent in other areas. At this point, you never know. You hope for the best.� “We have all the pieces,� senior Kacie Seims said. “I feel if those pieces come together we can do big things again.� Both teams benefit from a large number of returners in addition to strong pre-season training. After the Kent Jamboree on March 10, Roach, like other Kent track coaches, is reserved about drawing conclusions based on the results. “It’s tough, because we only had half the team eligible,� he said. “I was pleased with it. A lot of the kids are in shape, but they expected to go into the season as good as they were at the end of last year, and they’re not but that’s to be expected.�
Although the girls suffered a loss with the departure of sprinter Holly DeHart to graduation there are others stepping up to take her place. Senior Madelayne Varela, who took third at last year’s state meet in the 100 meters a tenth of a second behind DeHart, has been training since September with the intention of breaking DeHart’s time this year as well as the state record. “I’m hoping to go above and beyond,� she said. Whether or not she does ultimately, she also already proved herself to be an asset to the girls in another event, the long jump. During the Kent Jamboree, she flew 18 feet, one inch, which would have taken first at last year’s state meet. Varela said that prior to the jump, she had not practiced or jumped off the board since middle school. “We’re pretty excited about that,� Roach said. “It’s a new weapon, a new event she can be successful at.� As for the girls team, Varela says they are prepared to defend their title. “We’re just as strong and we’re ready to fight,� she said. Seims, who took 10th in the javelin, has been working with a former Olympian to improve her crossover. “It’s the essential part of the start,� she said. “It can set you up for success or failure.� On the boys side, senior Danny Lunder took an alternative route for pre-season training by joining the swim team along with other runners, which he said has strengthened their cardiovascular endurance without the heavy impact of running. “A couple of friends pushed me to do it,� he said. “I wouldn’t have done enough conditioning in the pre-season (otherwise). It’s a good

www.kentreporter.com [ CHAMPIONS from page 16 ] State champions a year ago, the Royals boys team also took first at the jamboree, with the girls taking second. “We were very thin for the jamboree,” said head coach Shane Barto. “(But) we went into it and where we came out on top the kids were like ‘This is what K-M is.’ We had a lot of young kids, 10 girls and took second. That’s saying a lot about what we have.” After the departure of head coach Ernie Ammons, Barto has stepped in to help steer the team to another state victory, a potentially daunting task for his first year at the helm. “There’s a lot of pressure to succeed,” Barto said. “But it’s a good kind of pressure.” It won’t, however, be Barto’s first time coaching track or interacting with the students. He coached track at Newport in Bellevue for three years, and he is also K-M’s football coach, which has allowed
him to develop relationships with the athletes prior to the track season. “I know the kids,” he said. “It’s been really nice stepping in with those I already know. The team’s welcomed me. It’s a huge family. They have such great traditions. They’re accepting my structure and the changes. They have such talent it’s scary.” Another reason they are highly optimistic, Barto TRACK said, is their indomitable spirit. “The nice thing about the boys is the ‘want’ attitude,” he said. “They want to win state. I think we’re following in those (last year’s) footsteps. All I can say is that these kids have that position attitude that they know they’re going to do a good job.” They can also owe their confidence to returners such as Abu Kamara and Jarey Suiter. Kamara, who is also a standout on KentMeridian’s boys basketball team, racked up three second place fin-
PREVIEW
[ VOLLEYBALL from page 16 ] More than a decade ago Potter started a volleyball program for elementary school students in partnership with Tahoma Learning Communities. It’s offered every spring for six weeks. Synergy Volleyball was started in 2010 to build on the success of that elementary school program and offer local players the opportunity to train as well as play close to home. Synergy offered an opportunity for coaches and players to enjoy the sport while having the opportunity to play good teams but at the same time make it less expensive than other clubs, Potter said. “The club was started to make something local available for the girls in a cost-effective manner,” Potter said. “What we do is by using school district facilities and limiting the amount of travel outside the Puget Sound area, and we don’t pay our coaches a whole lot, so our fees are at least half what other clubs charge without offering a whole lot less.” Fees run between $1,100 and $1,300 for a seven month season.
Synergy volleyball
Parents can break up the cost in monthly payments if they choose. “We try to keep it as low as reasonable but we also want them to feel like they’re a part of something that’s real, that’s competitive,” Potter said. Thus far, this season, Synergy volleyball teams have done well, particularly the U12 squad which won the Silver Championship at the President’s Day tournament in February while the U13s are ranked fourth in the region. “For a small club that’s a big statement because we have some clubs (in the area) that have eight to 30 teams,” Potter said. “To be able to compete with those types of teams says something about the skill level out there.” Synergy’s teams continued to build on that success at tournaments this month. At a tournament March 17-18 the U12 and U13 teams entered the Dominos Invitational Volleyball Tournament in Tacoma, one of the largest youth tournaments in the region, Potter wrote in an email. Synergy U12 Purple won the morning pool and took third place in the Gold Division.
YOUTH SPORTS
Synergy is a nonprofit, and Potter has registered with Washington state as well as with Puget Sound Region-USA Volleyball. Tryouts, as outlined by the Washington Interscholastic Athletic Association, take place after the regular volleyball season ends in November. Synergy’s season runs from November to May.

ishes at last year’s state championship as well as a gold medal in the 110 hurdles while Suiter took 15th in the 400 meters. Their 4x400 relay team also took third. “We started off the season really well,” Suiter said. “We have a lot of good people. We have confidence in our team that will keep us up there. That’s what led us to state.” “We’re going to be a threat,” Barto said. “That’s the easiest way to put it. Our guys have a lot of talent. The boys went to state and they don’t want to skip a beat.” Royals girls, however, also intend to get up there with the boys, junior Chloe Watson said, even though they have less numbers. “I see a lot of new kids making a big impact on our team,” she said. Martin said that, “I feel like we’re pretty strong and we’re pretty consistent with times.” Watson, who is also an outside hitter for the volleyball team at K-M, took eighth in the long jump at the state championship meet, but suffered the loss of her
jump and hurdles coach. Still she’s working at landing a spot on the podium. “I think I’ll be fine,” she said. Martin, who placed 10th in the two mile and 12th in the mile, said her performance at the March 10 jamboree was less than stellar, but didn’t plan on getting a new PR so early in the season. “I was just trying to get into how things work,” she said.
KENTRIDGE AIMS TO FLY HIGH AND RUN FAST The Chargers are all about two things this year, hurdles and relays, after strong performances in last year’s state meet on both the boys and girls team in those events. Additionally, boys head coach Al Water said they are looking to plug in the other events needed to preserve their fourth place finish. “We have good members, although we’re missing a few returners,” he said. “We’ve got some pretty good state competitors and
some new people who are going to be good as well.” Kaid Tipton, a hurdler and member of the 4x400 relay team, said in order to get back to state they will need to work on not only improving their personal performances, but figuring out where they need to strategically compete to gain points. The field events, for example, was where they had the biggest loss due to graduation. “We’re definitely getting better, though,” he said. THE PUGET SOUND FOOTBALL CAMP is scheduled for June 26-28 at French Field, located at KentMeridian High School. Camp is for athletes entering grades 4-9 and cost is $90. The non-contact camp runs each day from 9 a.m. to noon. For more information, contact Kentridge coach Marty Osborn at 253-891-2294 or Marty.Osborn@Kent. K12.wa.us.

The City of Kent is seeking coverage under the Washington State Department of Ecology’s Construction Stormwater NPDES and State Waste Discharge General Permit. The proposed project, Kentview Sewer Interceptor is located east of Frager Road between South 221st Place and South 216th Place in Kent in King County. The project consists of constructing approximately 2.483 lineal feet of 18” sanitary sewer gravity main, installation of 9 sewer manholes, including side sewer stubs. The project begins at the Kentview Pump Station and extends north to an existing sanitary sewer gravity system north of South 216th Street. The construction of the new 18” sanitary sewer main will allow the city to abandon and completely remove the Kentview Pump Station. The abandonment and removal of this pump station is part of the Sanitary Sewer Comprehensive Plan which will also free up the cost for maintenance and manpower to the city.
The project involves 2.5 acres of soil disturbance for sewer improvement related construction activities and is planned to be construction from July of 2012 – October of 2012. Stormwater will be discharged to the Green River. A stormwater pollution prevention plan and an erosion and sediment control plan will be designed for the site and site specific best management practices will be installed and maintained throughout the entire course of the project to protect water quality.

CITY OF KENT OFFICE OF THE HEARING EXAMINER NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING SR 516 TO S 231ST WAY LEVEE SMC-2012-2 KIVA #RPP3-2120176 NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Hearing Examiner for the City of Kent will hold a public hearing to consider a request submitted by the City of Kent Public Works Department for a Shoreline Conditional Use Permit to construct an earthen berm levee for flood protection in several segments along the right (east) bank of the Green River between State Route 516 and South 231st Way. The existing levee will remain. The top of the new, secondary levee will be 20 feet wide and will be between 1.5 and 3.5 feet higher than the existing levee, depending on location. The intersection of James Street and Russell Road will be shifted approximately 18 feet to the east to accommodate the new levee
berm. Near SR 516, the existing roadway of 62nd Avenue South will be raised to act as the new levee berm. Relocation of utilities will be necessary near the project area to accommodate the new levee and shifted roadway. This project is part of a larger effort to have the entire levee system within the city limits accredited by FEMA. Accreditation of this levee will remove areas behind the levee from FEMA flood maps which will reduce development restrictions and FEMA flood insurance requirements in the Kent Valley. Associated work includes removal and relocation of existing utilities within the new levee footprint, as well as removal of all trees and vegetation within the same footprint. Disturbed areas will be hydroseeded and offsite tree mitigation will occur upstream on the Green River at South 261st Street and 80th Avenue South. Construction of the first phase, relocation of the Russell Road/James Street intersection is anticipated to occur in the summer of 2012. Subsequent phases will be completed by December 2015. NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that the Hearing Examiner will hold the public hearing on April 4, 2012 at 10:00 AM in Chambers West, City Hall, 220 Fourth Avenue S., Kent, WA 98032.

That means under the shade of trees, on slopes, in low spots that stay wet or high spots that never get water. It is not to good to fight Mother Nature. Grow groundcovers like vinca and pachysandra in the shade, use boulders and alpine plants on slopes, and level out your bumps and dips.

5. CROWD OUT THE WEEDS
Dumping weed-killing chemicals on your lawn year after year is not good for our groundwater or your health. In our climate, the month of March is a good time to overseed old lawns. Aerate or poke holes into the lawn first, add an inch of topsoil then sprinkle fresh lawn seed.
