City Council raises concerns about coal trains BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com
If as many as 18 or more coal trains per day start rolling through Kent, city officials
want to try to reduce the impact to residents, businesses and the environment. The City Council knows any chance to halt the proposed Gateway Pacific terminal near
Bellingham to ship coal to China could meet similar results as trying to stop a runaway train. But the council agreed it must try to do something to mitigate the impact on Kent if trains run
from Wyoming and Montana to Spokane through the Columbia River Gorge and up north through Kent on the way to Bellingham. The seven-member council and Mayor Suzette Cooke
signed an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) scoping letter Tuesday night in an effort to get the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers [ more TRAINS page 4 ]

MORE STUDENTS MAKING THE GRADE AT IGRAD BY MICHELLE CONERLY mconerly@kentreporter.com
“Welcome! Are you here for class today?” One by one, each student checks in at the front desk, takes a seat in front of a laptop and begins learning. For students completing the Kent School District diploma track through the new iGrad program, this is what their classroom looks like. The iGrad academy is a district program funded by the state in partnership with the Kent School District and Green River Community College (GRCC) that offers students 16-21 years old the ability to earn credits toward one of three program tracks. Students also may choose to earn a Washington state diploma or a GED certificate. This individualized learning model is structured to cater to the students’ unique needs. “At the iGrad site each student is taking the subjects they need to [ more IGRAD page 2 ]

Assault charges were expected to be filed this week against a 23-year-old Renton man in connection with a fight Monday with a detective and attorney outside a courtroom at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. Kent Police arrested the man for fourth-degree assault and third-degree assault, according to probable cause documents filed with the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. Prosecutors had until Thursday (after the Kent Reporter deadline) to file charges. The man was booked Monday into the city jail and released Tuesday. Bail was set at $20,000.

Fashion designer gets shot to compete on ‘Project Runway’ BY MARK KLAAS mklaas@kentreporter.com
Cindy Marlatt, an emerging local fashion designer, is sizing up the national competition. The Kent woman – who has realized her dreams by pursuing her passion in apparel – was one of 16 clothing designers from throughout the country chosen to vie for top honors and prizes in Season 11 of “Project Runway”, a reality TV series that premieres at 9 p.m. next Thursday on Lifetime. “It was fabulous. It was a (full range) of emotions every day,” Marlatt said of the experience. “I’d do it again 100 times. It was a
wonderful experience. It was such a thrill to be included in that group of people.” Marlatt, 60, and other designers used the spotlight of New York City as inspiration to create garments during the first episode, but Marlatt quickly discovered working in teams for the season challenged their patience and creativity. The series was filmed entirely in the Big Apple. Marlatt said filming recently wrapped up but could not divulge the
show’s outcome. “It was more intense than I could ever imagine,” Marlatt said. “People have no idea of how hard it is to be creative under those circumstances. Everything is so fast.” In “Project Runway”, contestants compete with each other to create the best clothes and are restricted in time, materials and theme. Their designs are judged, and one or more designers are eliminated each week. For Marlatt and the other designers, it was fierce. Contestants had to watch their backs while keeping their eyes on the prize [ more MARLATT page 4 ]

land for a one-on-one session to address the student’s educational needs and goals. Then, the choice is his or hers as to which track would satisfy those needs. For the students who choose the GED track, professors come to the iGrad site in a Kent strip mall at 25668 104th Ave. S.E., and students are expected to attend class four days a week in order to prepare for the GED test. For the students who choose to earn a Kent School District diploma,

At of the beginning of January, around 460 students were enrolled in the iGrad program, but according to Principal Carol Cleveland, 12 to 14 students are added daily, making the actual number of students much higher. Before enrolling, every

For students choosing the Washington state diploma track, they are able to attend GRCC classes on campus. Students are also able to earn college credit while still earning high school credits. “We consider iGrad students Green River Community College students,� Cantrell said. “We encour-
age them to be a part of the college. The whole benefit of iGrad is that students can transition to college.� To the couple thousand students in the Kent School District that were eligible to participate, a team of administrators sent out postcards informing them of their eligibility. For every postcard that was sent back expressing interest, the administrators called every student to meet with Cleveland and to begin the process of enrollment. Many of the students

who choose to participate in the iGrad program have dropped out of school or never re-enrolled in school for many reasons. Part of Cleveland’s job is to address those issues and make learning as accessible as possible for the students in this program. “I try to remove all the barriers I can,� Cleveland said. “My day is filled with figuring out what they need.� From bus passes and reduced childcare services to paying for their first two years of at GRCC, Cleveland has set up funds that allow her to be a “barrier remover� for the students in the iGrad program that qualify for these options. Students do not have to live within the boundaries of the Kent School District to enroll in the iGrad program, yet if they choose to participate, they must abide by the school district rules. The interest in the program has grown so much that Cleveland has received calls from other districts and even other states as to how this model of education is working out for the students. Not all the kinks are
worked out yet, though. With only five teachers and two counselors, the minimal staffing makes it difficult at times for Cleveland. She is looking to hire an assistant principal to help organize and supervise the program. For the students who choose to earn a Kent School District diploma, there is little to no social aspect of the program. For some students, the lack of socializing is welcomed, but for others, they miss the traditional classroom setting. At any time, students can choose to leave the program or return to the program. For the older students who enroll, they must finish one of the three tracks before exceeding the age requirement. Although in some cases, Cleveland must turn potential students away for lack of eligibility reasons, she strives to accommodate as many students as she can and enable them to reach their goals. “I’m on a get your skills, get it done system,� said Cleveland. “It’s tough, (but) this is the dream job. Exciting and challenging.�

Police looking for father of girl returned after Amber Alert REPORTER STAFF
Kent Police detectives on Wednesday continued their investigation into the disappearance and eventual return of an 8-yearold Kent girl last week. The disappearance triggered Kent Police officials to issue an
Amber Alert after family members were unable to locate the girl or her father for an extended period of time. Family and police concerns for the safety of the girl were heightened when it was learned that several acts of family violence had preceded her disappear-
ance, according to a Kent Police media release. Police spokesman Pat Lowery said police took the unusual step of issuing the Amber Alert after their efforts to locate and interview the child’s father went without success. Several hours after the alert was issued, the young girl was returned
City seeks to retain stateshared revenue BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com
The city of Kent plans to lobby hard to keep the Legislature from taking away state-shared revenue despite the state’s budget struggles. Kent wants to protect nearly $4.9 million per year it gets in Streamlined Sales Tax mitigation payments as well as another $3.7 million per year it receives in sales tax credits for annexing the Panther Lake area in 2010. Legislators opened the 2013 session on Monday in Olympia. Kent Mayor

Suzette Cooke, Councilwoman Dana Ralph and Michelle Wilmot, city community and public affairs manager, met with legislators Monday who represent portions of Kent to present the city’s agenda. “The biggest ones are the retention of state-shared revenues,� said Wilmot, who works closely with city contract lobbyist Doug Levy. “With the state budget problems, we’ve been fearful the Legislature will look to find cuts to help solve the budget issues.� City officials also want to protect state liquor taxes that provide about another $1.7 million to the city for public safety and human service needs.
The Renton man and another man started to yell at each other. The detective said he put a hand on the Renton man’s chest to encourage him to leave but the man pushed his hand away. He identified himself as a police officer and again put his hand on the man’s chest. When the man started to reach for his back pocket,

The state faces a $900 million budget shortfall through the end of June 2015, according to the September report by the Economic and Revenue Forecast Council. Legislators also must spent $1 billion or more to meet its obligation to fully fund basic education as ordered by the state Supreme Court. “We know they are looking at cuts again,� Wilmot said.

“It’d be a whole different ballgame if there is a $10 million cut from the state,� Wilmot said. Kent receives Streamlined Sales Tax mitigation funds to help replace lost sales tax revenue when the 2007 Legislature changed how taxes were collected. As a distribution center, Kent initially lost out on revenue because the sales tax is collected in the location where products end up rather than where the products originated. The annexation sales tax credit is scheduled to last for 10 years to the help the city cover the capital infrastructure costs of annexing 24,000 people in the Panther Lake area.

The next time your grandchild sits down to playa computer game, ask if you can play too. In addition to enjoying some quality playtime with your grandchild, you might also be doing yourself a favor by playing computer games. The fact is that computer games challenge the brain in ways that help develop new neural pathways. As a result, senior gamers may find that they preserve their brain power and stave off memory loss at the same time. There are brain fitness programs that can be played on computers that actually have been proven to improve seniors’ memory and language skills. Just like a muscle, the more you use your brain, the stronger it gets. Games played on the computer and with others stimulate the mind, and help keep it active. At PARKSIDE RETIREMENT COMMUNITY, we encourage our seniors to participate in games, and we offer a wide variety to appeal to all levels and interests. Learn more by contacting us today at (253) 9391332. We will arrange an initial meeting and tour of our unique senior community, conveniently located at 2902 J Street N.E.

each (of Kent’s eight) crossings and block traffic from South 259th Street to James Street simultaneously which means nobody moves.” Each coal train take up to five locomotives to pull up to 150 cars, Mullen said. He added research has shown trains with the uncovered cars can lose up to 2,000 pounds of coal dust during a trip from Montana to Cherry Point. Courtney Wallace, Seattlebased BNSF Railway regional director of public affairs, said BNSF has taken operating steps to greatly reduce the loss of coal dust and that the issue is no longer a problem because of a new rule passed two years ago. “Coal dust posed a serious threat to the stability of the track structure operational integrity of BNSF’s rail lines in the Powder River Basin (Montana and Wyoming),” Wallace said in an email.
“Railcars properly loaded at origin effectively address coal dust. BNSF implemented an operating rule in 2011 requiring our customers to properly load and treat coal carloads with a surface crusting agent to prevent dust. We believe that our operating rule effectively addresses coal dust.” Wallace said about 50 trains of all types go through Kent daily. She said grain trains average about 110 cars. She declined to reveal how many coal trains go through town now or the destinations of those trains. Mullen said one or two coal trains go through Kent daily. He said the trains go to British Columbia terminals for the coal to be shipped to China. BNSF confirmed that as many as 18 coal trains per day could be added to the Kent route. “The Gateway Pacific
Terminal is being permitted to handle one to nine loaded trains per day,” Wallace said. “At maximum capacity, the terminal could handle nine loaded trains a day and nine empty trains a day. BNSF has three major east-west routes through Washington and exact routing would depend on several factors, such as customer needs, weather and freight volumes.” The other routes are through Stevens Pass or Stampede Pass. Mullen said, however, that the Columbia River Gorge looms as the anticipated route because Stevens Pass already has a lot of train traffic while it’s doubtful Stampede Pass can handle loaded coal trains but might carry empty trains.

Garcia and featured judge Zac Posen and guest judge, Season 4 “Project Runway” winner Christian Siriano. “The judges were tough
but fair,” Marlatt said. Working with other creative minds proved even tougher for Marlatt. “That was a nightmare,”
she said. “I’m stubborn … you learn to work with others … but working in groups is difficult.” Especially with so much creativity in play and with so much on the line. The season’s victorious designer received $100,000 from L’Oréal Paris to start his or her own apparel line, in addition to a fashion spread in Marie Claire magazine, a 2013 Lexus GS 350, a $50,000 technology suite by HP and Intel to create and run a business and the opportunity to design and sell an exclusive collection at Lord & Taylor. For Marlatt, the opportunity to shine on national TV turned out to be a great opportunity. She is determined to give her fashion design work a full-time go – her third career, sort of speak. She drove a UPS truck as a single mom during the 1980s, then met and joined her husband in owning and operating a funeral home
in Kent. She raised three kids of her own, and helped raise two more inherited from her husband. Marlatt earned a degree in fashion design at the Art Institute of Seattle, where she presented nine of her designs at the school’s fashion show last March. She went to New York City to do a three-month internship at Ann Taylor in Times Square. Marlatt, who began designing clothes for her family when she was a little girl, hopes to open her own clothing line, providing apparel to Nordstrom and local boutiques. She produces high-end products “because I love the beautiful fabric like silk and wool.” Her design’s primary focus is on movement and comfort, producing the right look for professional women, ages 35-50. Marlatt is enjoying the ride. “It’s what I love to do,” she said.

and state Department of Ecology (DOE) to look at impacts on Kent as part of the EIS. “I’m not sure what we ask for would mitigate the impact but we have to at least try,” said Councilwoman Elizabeth Albertson during a Public Works Committee meeting about coal trains. Albertson said the city wants steps such as to cover and secure the coal in the train cars; money for construction of overpasses or underpasses so streets do not turn into gridlock; ways to lessen the noise impact; and control of air emissions from the trains. “It’s very important to weigh in,” Councilwoman Dana Ralph said. “We might not have much control whether this happens or not happens but my main concern as we go along is to mitigate the im-
pacts to our residents and businesses and this is the first step in that process.” Seattle-based SSA Marine Inc., has submitted applications to develop the largest coal export facility in North America at Cherry Point, said Steve Mullen, city transportation engineering manager, in a report to the Public Works Committee. Coal mined from the Powder River Basin in Montana and Wyoming would be hauled by trains along Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) rail lines. As many as 18 trains (nine full, nine empty on return) would cause crossing gates to go down for additional one hour in Kent. Gates go down about 2½ hours per day now. “We have concerns about additional delays downtown,” Mullen said. “The 1.5-mile long trains would add 51 seconds of delay at

TATE’S NOTES
“Are you concerned about coal trains passing through Kent?”
Melvin Tate
?
Question of the week:
There is a lot of talk and activism around school discipline these days and I happen to be serving on the Kent School District (KSD) committee to review its discipline policies. The committee is made up largely of school administrators, but also includes representation for teachers and community members which includes parents. It’s always tough to talk about discipline issues because there are so many different perspectives and positions. However, the current committee members show extraordinary commitment by agreeing to continue the discussion beyond the originally scheduled meeting dates. Furthermore, it is quite evident that these committee members care about the community’s children. As a school administrator in the past I suspended many, many students. Among the concerns that teachers had about student discipline was that the response to a school violation provided consequences that were fair to all parties concerned. Most parents and students felt likewise. Among other discipline-related issues, obviously safety would be a major concern for teachers, other staff and students during any discussions around student discipline. There are many discipline situations wherein if a student was not removed from the classroom or the school, it would create an unsafe environment and students and staff could become very concerned about the ability of the school leaders to maintain order. Some suspensions are necessary. On the other hand, parents certainly don’t want students suspended from school while they are at work. That point came through so loud and clear that as an administrator I pulled together a team of community organizations to work with and supervise some students who were suspended during their days on out of school suspension. Although this is not the time or place to discuss the details of that program, it was apparent that the program also served many more students whose parents never complained about the length of their child’s suspension.
For many, schools are home I could tell you stories about home life for many students that would be chilling. But suffice it to say, that for an enormous number of students, schools are the only safe haven, the only place where they have structure, the only place they encounter positive role models in their young lives. The proper socialization process that takes place at school is absolutely critical to their success in life because too many don’t receive that from home. A school administrator is often caught in [ more TATE page 6 ]

Let’s clarify: we do our fair share In response to Sandra Gill’s numerous, and unanswered, letters to the Kent Reporter, I feel it is finally time for a response. Ms. Gill, to be blunt, is misinformed on what businesses are required to pay. She continually has stated that businesses need to pay their “fair share” (a politically charged “buzz term” from our last election). It is also a term that has been used to segregate large segments of our population. Here it is being used to entice a form of class warfare in our community by pitting a conflict between the regular (homeowner) citizenry against its business community. Well, Ms. Gill, since you appear to be so completely misinformed, let me enlighten you, and any followers you have, of what one locally owned, small business, among many, is required to pay. First, there is our new B&O tax. It will cost in 2013, over $5,700 per year, and this amount is not the “next to zero” figure your letter, dated Nov. 30, stated regarding business’ expenses. And in case you weren’t up on this fact, businesses did not get the option to vote on this new 8&0 tax, nor do residents have to pay it. Residents at least got to vote on Proposition 1. And should we note that Prop 1

was defeated by the residents, which outnumber the business owners by a great majority. And should we also note that if it had passed, that business owners would have had to pay their “fair share” of Proposition 1 (in addition), just like the residents. Second, there is the Regional Fire Authority (RFA) and Fire Benefit Charge (FBC). A home valued at $300,000 will pay $300 per year for the RFA, and a 2,700-square-foot home will be charged approximately $234.47 per year for the FBC. Our business will pay $3,946.40 for the RFA and $5,285.81 for the FBC. Doesn’t that demonstrate that businesses are paying their “fair share,” and at a rate much higher than the average homeowner? Thirdly, just to further enlighten you, there is the portion of our property taxes that are paid to the city. The average
homeowner in Kent will pay $411.88 per year to the city of Kent from their property taxes. Our business will pay $6,188.53 to the city this year. I believe that further demonstrates our proportion of “fair share” for the city’s infrastructure, proving again that businesses payout much more than the average homeowner. By the way, this is on top of the B&O tax for road repairs. And while we are speaking of road taxes, our small business has nothing to do with the 18-wheeler semi-trucks that you say are responsible for all the damaged roads. We have little problem with paying our “fair share” for the road repairs, but how much do homeowner’s pay for the road repairs that they drive on every day? Eighteen-wheelers only travel on a few of the roads in this community, and usually roads that are co-shared and maintained by either the county or the state. Lastly, if we haven’t already made our point, there is the storm drainage charge. Residents pay a monthly storm drainage fee of $10.56. This equals $126.72 per year. Our business pays over $750 per month for storm drainage. This totals up to over $9,300 per year. This rate will increase by 5 percent in 2013, a 53-cent increase per month for residents, but a $39.16 increase per month for us. So Ms. Gill, businesses are paying their “fair share” – and more – for maintaining this [ more LETTERS page 6 ]

So what’s the answer? Some parents can’t, won’t or don’t do enough to support their children’s education. In some such instances, the community must do so. That’s a major reason
www.kentreporter.com why education is compulsory; a good education also can help level the playing field for a child’s success in life regardless of the parents contribution. And, in addition to our need for human compassion, a democratic society needs an educated populace to thrive. In the words of John Dewey, “... What the best and wisest parent wants for his own child, that must the
...obituaries Richard Pohl Richard Pohl, 95, of Olympia, passed away peacefully at Swedish Hospital in Seattle on January 8, 2013, with his family by his side. Richard was born August 11, 1917, in Seattle, WA. His parents and five siblings moved to Kent when he was a young boy. He graduated from Kent High School in 1935. Richard and his brother, Irving, owned and operated a fur farming business in the Kent Valley for 32 years. Richard and his wife, Helen, moved from Kent to Seabeck, on the Hood Canal, in 1980. The Pohls moved to Lacey in 2005. Richard was a life-time member of the First Baptist Church in Kent, WA. In recent years, Richard was an active member of the Lacey Senior Center, and enjoyed the time he spent there with friends. He is survived by his wife Helen of Lacey; daughters Sharon Genzlinger and Marilyn (Bob) Greenway; grand-daughter Stacey Genzlinger, all of Olympia; and brother, Harold Pohl of Garden Grove, CA. A celebration of life will be held in the spring at a date to be determined.

community want for all of its children. Any other ideal for our schools is narrow and unlovely; acted upon, it destroys our democracy ...” The answer is clear, the education of children is not just a parent and school concern, it’s the concern of a caring community and society as well. We must find ways to support students, educators and parents. That means finding ways to reduce the number of suspensions while keeping students and staff in a safe learning environment. And when it becomes necessary to remove a student from school, provide their families with options for students to be placed in
another educational setting. There is a large amount of research and best practice information with proven strategies for to accomplish those ends. The KSD published a document indicating the numbers of students suspended from the KSD in each of the years from 2007 through 2011. Of the students suspended or expelled anywhere from one day to more than 21 days in the 2011 school year 30 were American/ Alaskan native, 134 Asian, 757 black, 74 Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, 515 Hispanic/ Latino, 191 multiracial, 81 information not provided, and 885 white students for
a total of 2,586 suspended students. Think about how many of these students were out on the streets being recruited by gang members, making babies, entering homes, shoplifting or just sitting at home watching TV and wasting time, all while many parents are at work. The research says for many students suspension from school is their first step toward jail and the beginning of many other negative effects on the student, family and community, yet there is little evidence to indicate that suspensions changes the suspended students’ behavior.

loss of 4,400 manufacturing jobs since 2000. Your negative diatribe about Kent businesses and their failure to meet their “fair share” of responsibilities to the city (and particularly you, a resident) couldn’t be further from the truth. The Kent business community is, and has always been a responsible contributor to the infrastructure, funding for all aspects of this city, and to a greater degree than homeowners. Residents utilize the same roads, parks, water, sewer and storm drainage system as the busi-
nesses. They utilize them probably a lot more, yet pay far less than the business community. So why don’t we just stop here. All of us within this city have a “fair share” responsibility to make our city’s infrastructure work. We don’t need “class warfare” – Kent residents vs. Kent businesses tearing this city apart. The real problem here is that our fair city made the decision years ago to go into commercial business … the Riverbend Golf course and the 5hoWare Center. They have become anchors. Take them out of the equation and Kent will be just fine, without all the extra taxes and fees. But I cannot comment here how to fix that problem. But I do know … it will take all of us … working together and living together in this community. – Nadia Ahmed
city’s infrastructure, and making your roads safer. But businesses are dealing with the same struggling economy that homeowners are. Remarks you make about Kent businesses are very disparaging. In the last month, two businesses on our street closed down. Gone, out of business. If more businesses close because they can’t make ends meet, possibly due to the new B&O, higher utility rates, etc., what will happen to Kent’s economy and work force? Kent has seen a

Pure. Relaxation.
Janice Marie (Zaborac) Tegtmeyer, 66, passed away at her home in Kent on January 10, 2013 surrounded by family members and her cats. She suffered from serious lung issues for over 20 years. Born on July 5, 1946 in Illinois, Janice lived almost all her life in Seattle and Kent. She went to Holy Rosary Grade School, Holy Family Grade School, Holy Rosary High School, and West Seattle High School. Most of her work years were in the service industry including working at King’s Beef Broiler, Clark’s Round the Clock, American Legion, Kent Bowl and lastly as a parking garage attendant at SeaTac Airport. Janice was a very kind person. She would give you her last dime and oftentimes did. She made friends with everyone. She was funny, even outrageous at times. She had a child-like perception of the world, finding humor in situations where others may have been stressed out. She loved her family and her cats. Janice was a key person in our family and will be sorely missed. Our loss is Heaven’s gain. She is survived by her parents Zab Zaborac and Rosella; son Robert Tegtmeyer; granddaughter Jessica Tegtmeyer; siblings Sharon Dalrymple (Al), Dennis Zaborac (Mirei), Larry Zaborac (Cathie), and Monica Zaborac; niece and nephews David and Steven (Sarah) Dalrymple and Nathaniel and Andrea Zaborac; grandnephew Austin Dalrymple; grandniece Allison Dalrymple; and her four cats Sylvia, Socks, Tiger and Whiskey.

Youth Board is exemplary I’m writing to share my experiences with Congressman Dave Reichert’s Youth Board. As a student interested in policymaking, I didn’t hesitate to apply. Throughout the year, we discussed public policy issues with the Congressman in locations ranging from Issaquah to Enumclaw. By participating in these discussions and visiting different places, I feel we’ve come to understand better the opinions on both sides. But most importantly, this board is a channel for youth voices to be heard. I applaud Congressman Reichert for creating this model board and encourage any high school student in the Eighth Congressional District to join. – Johnny Xu

Another way to view it is, we care now or we pay later. Let’s care now by changing the conversation from one of how many days does a student get suspended to having conversations first about what is our guiding principles around discipline of the community’s children? How do we responsibly reduce the numbers of suspensions? What alternatives can we provide to the numbers of unsupervised suspension? And where do we get the resources to implement proven strategies to meet those ends?

Officers bust mother-daughter shoplifting duo BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com
Kent Police busted a mother-daughter shoplifting duo who allegedly worked together to take items from WinCo Foods, 21100 91st Place S. A store loss prevention officer called police to report he had a mother and her 15-year-old daughter in custody for removing items from shelves and not paying for them before leaving the store at about 6:05 p.m. Dec. 30, according to the police report. The pair reportedly took double of multiple items and placed some of the items in the top portion of the cart and some items on the bottom part of the cart next to a reusable bag. They then moved into the next aisle where the mother tried to block any view of her daughter as the girl placed items into the bag. When the two left, they

this marked the first time she had reported a case to police. They have known each other for about eight years and have a child together. The boyfriend had left the apartment before officers arrived.

A teen reported that three older teens or men in their early 20s attacked and robbed him of his wallet during an incident at about 3:44 p.m. Dec. 31 at a field near East Hill Elementary School in the 9800 block of South 240th Street. The teen told officers that he and his brother went to play football at the park when three subjects walked up and asked if they could play, according to the police report.

www.kentreporter.com [ KMTA from page 8] Another concern is that students don’t get the socialization traditional classrooms provide. But Samorano assures that in and outside of a KMTA classroom, students learn the social skills needed to succeed in the real world. “Our kids are involved in electives with everyone else (at Kent-Meridian),� Samorano said. “A lot of them are officers of the clubs. They take on leadership positions even when we don’t force them because it’s
just natural.� Christiansen and Samorano see the role of technology as a positive element in their curriculum. And even though they might have their own concerns, they believe the Internet and technology in general should be embraced and not ignored. “One of my fears is that handwriting is going away,� Samorano said. “But I think (students’) thoughts will be more clear because they can edit faster. Kids are going to be learning things at a faster rate.�

Kentwood cheer chases state crown BY KATHERINE SMITH ksmith@covingtonreporter.com
Every detail counts for Kentwood High’s cheerleaders. The team is preparing for the Jan. 26 Cheerleading State Championships at Alaska Airlines Arena at Hec Edmundson Pavilion on the University of Washington campus, and the Conquerors have their eyes on taking home gold. Kentwood, which fields both tumbling and nontumbling cheer squads, qualified for the state meet earlier this year at a competition where they scored 241 and 264 points, respectively – it only takes 175 to qualify. Watching the team in the
gym, where they practice tumbling passes and stunts over and over again, it is clear that this is a team out to win. Every move must be sharp, every transition perfect – if not they do it again. Every bobble or missed count will cost the team precious points at the state competition. At state the teams will be judged on their effectiveness as crowd leaders and tumbling, jumps and motions as well as execution. One stunt that the tumbling squad has worked to perfect as the competition approaches is called a double up. “It’s an advanced move,� said Kentwood coach Kim Kawachi. “We’re the only high school, that I know of,

each week, Kawachi said. They lead cheering at foot [ more CHEER page 11 ]
The women’s Lingerie Football League is now the Legends Football League. The league includes the Kent-based Seattle Mist who play at the ShoWare Center. League officials announced the name change Jan. 9. “This is the next step in the maturation of our now global sport,� said Mitchell S. Mortaza, league founder and chairman, in a media release. “While the Lingerie Football League name has drawn great media attention allowing us to showcase the sport to millions, we have now reached a crossroad of gaining credibility as a sport or continuing to be viewed as a gimmick.�

Lose those mid-winter blues The third week of January is time to banish the mid-winter blues with colorful thoughts of spring. If dark days and cold weather has you winter-weary perk up your outlook with these tips for renewal: 1. Get yourself to a Home and Garden Show. The Tacoma Home and Garden Show runs Jan. 23-27 at the Tacoma Dome. This indoor show has hundreds of vendors but go to see and smell and touch the garden displays and you’ll reap the benefits of inhaling nature. I’ll be speaking next week every day at 2 p.m. (OK, an hour later at 3 on Saturday) at the show, and to stimulate your spring fever I’ll be giving away samples of some cool new plants. “Taming Your Garden” is the topic for Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, and Thursday and Saturday
I’ll be speaking on “Cool New Plants and Some Old Favorites.” 2. Grow fresh rosemary, basil or thyme in your kitchen window. A windowsill herb garden improves your inner health in three different ways. First, you reap the visual beauty of living plants that soften all the hard surfaces of a working kitchen. Second the smell and texture of these Mediterranean herbs relaxes the mind simply by evoking memories of well-seasoned meals. Then there is the third benefit, that of actually consuming herbs from their fresh, most nutritious state. Snip the tips of rosemary into stews and soups, layer basil leaves into sandwiches, salads and pesto sauces and trim your potted thyme plants and use these pruning crumbs

ball and basketball games and volunteer at other sports’ competitions. Community service is also a big part of the team’s culture. Last fall the team organized and hosted a carnival at Covington Elementary where every student was given a backpack and school supplies. “They’re amazing students and good leaders,” Kawachi said. “They’ll go above and beyond for each other and the community.” The team hopes to advance to the national competition later this year in Orlando, Fla. Kentwood has placed as high as second at nationals and has finished in the top 10 the last six years. A year ago at the state competition, Kentwood Silver won the 4A coed title, edging out Stadium by four points with 249. Kentwood Black took second in the non-tumbling 4A category, with 218 points to Bothell’s
first-place showing of 234. Co-captains Riana Slyter and Brooke Chase agree that competing and serving their community is what they love most about cheerleading. For Chase one of the most memorable events the team participated in this year was the Seattle Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon last summer. “We were up at 4 a.m. and cheered on the runners,” Chase said. “We could see how appreciative they (the runners) were.” Another event the Kentwood cheerleaders organized in the fall was Conks for a Cure, which culminated in the pinkout football game against Kent-Meridian to help raise money for breast cancer charities. Through a number of means such as sales of pink merchandise and donation collections, the team raised $3,500. “There’s a sense of being a part of something greater,” Slyter said. “It’s such a great team.”

to flavor eggs, bread and chicken. Herbal renewal is just a potted plant and kitchen countertop away. 3. Force some forsythia. It is nice to fool Mother Nature when you simply cut leafless branches of early spring blooming shrubs like forsythia now and place the cut stems into a tall vase of warm water. In a few days the tight buds will plump up and then open to sprays of sunshinecolored blossoms. You can also try forcing cherry, quince, magnolias and camellias to bloom indoors. Low humidity inside the house may hinder the early forcing of some flowering shrubs but anyone can force forsythia. 4. Buy some seeds. Celebrate the coming spring by displaying the seed packets in a basket or use clothes pins to clip them onto a length of twine in a location where this visual promise of spring will greet you each day. Even
if you never get around to planting your seeds, the art work and planting instructions are enough to kick start a hibernating winter brain into waking up with energetic spring plans. 5. Buy some cool new berry plants. One of my favorites for spring 2013 are the easy-togrow but super healthy Lucium Goji berry, also called wolf berry. This year Proven Winners is introducing a new variety named “Lifeberry.” It was named for the highly nutrient rich berries that can be enjoyed dried or fresh with antioxidant and other health benefits. I am also sweet on “Raspberry Shortcake” a dwarf, thorn less, raspberry plant perfect for containers or small gardens. Winter is a good time to transplant or add berry plants to the garden.

BY:Ronald Moore, City Clerk Published in the Kent Reporter on January 18, 2013. #728550 NOTICE OF APPLICATION and Proposed Determination of Nonsignificance A project permit application was filed with City of Kent Planning Services. The City of Kent expects to issue a Determination of
Nonsignificance (DNS) for the proposal and the Optional DNS Process is being used. This may be the only opportunity to comment on the environmental impacts of the proposal and associated mitigation measures. The proposal may include mitigation measures under applicable codes, and the project review process may incorporate or require mitigation measures regardless of whether an EIS is prepared. A copy of the subsequent threshold determination for the specific proposal may be obtained upon request. Following is a description of the application and the process for review. The application and listed studies may be reviewed at the offices of Kent Planning Services, 400 W. Gowe Street, Kent, WA. APPLICATION NAME/ NUMBER: UPPER MILLCREEK DAM IMPROVEMENTS ENV-2013-1/ KIVA #RPSA-2130033 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The City of Kent Public Works Department proposes to upgrade the Upper Mill Creek Dam and the upstream diversion structure in order to increase the flood storage to accommodate a 500-year flood event. Proposed improvements to the dam include raising the dam by 5.5 feet and reconstruction of the primary and emergency spillways to reduce potential overtopping. The upstream diversion structure is not conducive to fish passage and does not have adequate capacity for diversion of large flood events. Accordingly, the diversion structure will be replaced. Other improvements include a concrete weir with a barrier to prevent adult fish from entering the diversion channel, three downstream box culverts and an instream adjustable notch weir. The property is zoned SR-1, Single Family Residential.

OPTIONAL DETERMINATION:As the Lead Agency, the City of Kent has determined that the proposed project, as regulated by the City’s development codes and standards, is unlikely to have a significant adverse impact on the environment. Therefore, as permitted under the RCW 43.21C.110, the City of Kent is using the Optional Determination of Nonsignificance process to give notice that a DNS is likely to be issued. Comment periods for the project and the proposed DNS are integrated into a single comment period. A 14-day appeal period will follow the issuance of the DNS. PROPOSED MITIGATION MEASURES: None PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: January 18, 2013 – February 1, 2013 All persons may comment on this application.
