City selects streets for repairs from B&O tax revenue BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com
Drivers will find several Kent roads a bit smoother by this fall after crews put down layers of asphalt to repair streets paid for
with revenue from the city’s new business and occupation (B&O) tax. City officials released a street repair project list last week at the City Council’s Public Works Committee meeting. The tax is
expected to raise about $5 million per year to pay for new asphalt overlays. “We have 320 miles of road mapped out with a pavement rating,” said Public Works Director Tim LaPorte during a phone
interview. “The ones on the Valley floor are the worst because they have the most truck traffic and don’t drain as well.” All of the repairs for this year will be on streets in the Valley. Public Works employees deter-
mined which streets need to be fixed first. “We prioritized by how bad the streets were and whether there were other issues to fix,” LaPorte said. [ more B&O page 5 ]

District to build new sports facilities for two Kent high schools BY MICHELLE CONERLY mconerly@kentreporter.com
Kentridge and Kentwood high schools are scheduled to receive brand new tracks, synthetic foot-
ball fields and lights as outlined in the recently reallocated 2006 bond. The estimated cost to build new tracks and new fields with lights for Kentwood and Kentridge is
about $7.1 million, according to Kent School District documents. “We’re coming into the 21st Century, finally,” exclaimed school district athletic director David Lutes.
The school board approved at its Feb. 13 meeting the reallocation of a $15.9 million bond intended to partly fund the building of the new Covington Elementary School. Instead the bond was
broken up into 14 district-wide recommended projects. Two of those projects include new tracks, synthetic fields and lights for both [ more FIELDS page 4 ]

Police arrest 2 men after car chase BY STEVE HUNTER
shunter@kentreporter.com
Kent Police arrested two men early Wednesday morning in the Panther Lake area after about an eight-block car chase that included the driver hitting a police vehicle. The incident started at about 4:19 a.m. when a neighbor called 911 to report a suspicious vehicle in the 11800 block of Southeast 204th Street with the occupants of the car prowling mailboxes, according to
an email from Assistant Chief Pat Lowery. “Officers arrived within minutes and attempted to block the car into the cul-de-sac where the crime was occurring,� Lowery said. “The driver steered the unreported stolen car around the stopped police vehicle, sideswiped another patrol vehicle pulling in behind the primary car, then fled the area.� Both police vehicles turned and gave chase. Officers followed the car for about eight blocks when the
driver left the street for a private driveway, then abandoned the car when he reached the end of the driveway and fled on foot. “Both occupants tried to elude officers on foot, though the passenger was caught immediately,� Lowery said. “The driver ran into some nearby woods and was subsequently captured by a responding Kent Police canine unit.� There were no injuries as a result of the suspect vehicle striking the police car.
CITY PLANS PUBLIC MEETING ABOUT CONTAMINATED SITES APRIL 23 Kent’s Community and Economic Development Department will host an informational event Tuesday, April 23, where residents can learn about the city’s efforts to clean up contaminated land sites for reuse and revitalization. Residents are encouraged to attend to learn how they can become actively involved in the prioritization of reuse/ revitalization opportunities in the city and in specific neighborhoods, according to a city media release. The free event is from 5:30-6:30 p.m. in Council Chambers at City Hall, 220 Fourth Ave. S. A reuse/revitalization opportunity site is defined broadly by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as “abandoned, idled or under-used property, where the expansion or redevelopment may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant,� according to Josh Hall, city economic development specialist.

and availability. According to Lutes, when the new fields and tracks are built, the agreement will stand in reference to the new facilities as well. “The best use of money is when the city and school district work together,” Lutes said. In 2009, city officials considered converting Kent Meridian and possibly Kentridge’s fields to synthetic turf in an effort to replace the Commons Playfields that closed to build the ShoWare Center. But due to lack of funds, the city formulated short-term and a long-term strategies to offset the loss of Commons Playfields. Jeff Watling, city director of parks, recreation and community services, said the short-term strategy for replacing the fields was to maximize existing spaces
through partnerships and scheduling, relying, in part, on the reciprocal agreement with the school district. The long-term strategy included creating multi-use synthetic turf facilities, like redeveloping Kent Meridian’s fields, when funds become available. When asked whether or not the city will directly replace the 11-acre Commons Playfields, Watling said, “that would not be our first approach” for financial reasons. Voters rejected a six-year property tax levy proposed by the city in November that would have helped fund repairs and renovations to city streets and parks. Although the city promised to replace the Commons Playfields, no timeline has been set and no new projects have been proposed in this year’s budget.
Cecelia Gregson. “Undoubtedly, she suffered unimaginable pain and discomfort prior to the infliction of her fatal injuries.” The case began when Kent Police responded to a Nov. 28 call to a West Hill apartment about a 10-month-old girl who was not breathing, according to charging papers. Upon arrival by officers, the baby was pronounced dead. Both parents were present. Detectives and the King County Medical Examiner’s Office investigated the death. An autopsy determined several pre-existing serious injuries, including three broken ribs in various stages of healing; a fractured upper left tibia; and a fractured and displaced left femur with the left thigh appearing larger than the right. The Medical Examiner’s Office determined the cause of death to be certified homicide from a subdural hematoma (a collection of blood on the surface of the brain) to the right side of the head. Both parents told detectives that they had no knowledge of previous injuries, according to charging papers. Both said they noticed their daughter favoring her left leg. The parents said the baby was in their care 95 to 98 percent of the time and that they rarely used babysitters other than to go to the grocery store. Leonard occasionally worked an evening job while Palmer did not work outside the home. A family relative observed the leg injury on Nov. 18 and recommended to Leonard and Palmer that they take the girl to the hospital. But the parents decided to keep her
at home. Investigators in December sent all of the preliminary autopsy information to child abuse specialists at Seattle Children’s hospital. A doctor from the Suspected Child Abuse and Neglect team reviewed the case and issued a report that the leg fracture is consistent with inflicted trauma, either from, “a direct blow to the leg or from the leg being forcefully yanked or manipulated.” The doctor reported that the leg injury was most likely greater than three weeks old based on the amount of healing. Detectives in February obtained a completed autopsy report from the Medical Examiner’s Office that also was reviewed by a doctor from Seattle Children’s hospital. The doctor then issued this report: “The evidence of multiple injuries of different ages, all of which are seen individually in inflicted trauma, is highly indicative of child abuse,” according to charging papers. “This pattern is consistent with repeated child abuse but only the femur fracture may have been noticed by another care provider. But, this would have been as obvious in an infant as a prolonged fever to 104. A normal care provider would know to be alarmed and seek care.” The couple has two other children. Those children were removed from the home after the death of their baby sister. Prosecutors requested the court not allow any contact between the parents and the children. The state Dependency Court had authorized supervised visitation.

[ B&O from page 1] For example, South Central Avenue needs new asphalt but the city kept that road off the list because a waterline along the street also needs replacing and right now the city doesn’t have the funds for the waterline. LaPorte said the goal is to coordinate utility projects in order to not dig up a repaired street in a few years for a waterline or other utility project. Crews are expected to start work in June on the first projects, a $500,000 list that includes portions of West Meeker Street, West James Street, Fourth Avenue North and 64th, 72nd, 76th, 80th and 81st Avenue South. “James and Meeker will only be the outer lanes because the middle lanes do not need it,� LaPorte said. “The 64th Avenue project is full width, an entire street overlay.� The West James Street asphalt project stretches from about 64th Avenue South to 76th Avenue South. The West Meeker Street repairs go from 64th Avenue South to Russell Road. The 64th

She will take office in Renton on July 1. The selection follows last week’s interviews with Rieger, Bremerton Superintendent Lester Herndon and Puyallup schools’ Assistant Superintendent Crystalee Sweeting. “We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Merri Rieger as our new superintendent,� said School Board President Lynn Desmarais, in a district release. “Merri has the depth of experience and sense of vision that make her a perfect fit for the Renton School District.� Rieger has served as the assistant superintendent for learning and improvement in Kent, high school principal in the Bremerton school district and dean of students and high school teacher in the Auburn School District.
Avenue project is between South 228th and 226th streets. The first $300,000 of the tax pays for two new auditors in the Finance Department to oversee the B&O tax. The $4.7 million goes to street repairs. The council approved the new tax in October with a 6-1 vote. Councilmembers had hoped the new tax might help persuade voters to approve a six-year property tax levy last November to pay for street and park repairs, but voters rejected the measure. LaPorte said asphalt overlays last for about 12 years on Valley roads used heavily by trucks to access the large warehouse district. Residential streets can last 15 to 20 years before needing repairs. A major $2.5 million paving project along Central Avenue North between South 228th Street and Smith Street also is scheduled for this year, although that work might get pushed out to 2014. “What’s stopping it is this is a new fund and we’re not sure how much income we will have by June when
bids would need to go out,� LaPorte said. “It’s quite probable we will not have enough (funds) until fall and will have to wait until the following year. We will be ready to do it if the funds are there.� Revenue from the B&O tax is received quarterly, so the first payments come in this month. City officials will have a better idea after 2013 how much revenue the tax brings in each year. Weather plays into the repairs as well. LaPorte said asphalt overlay projects need to be done between June and September when temperatures are warmer and the weather drier. Projects on the asphalt list for 2014 include $1 million for the intersection of South 212th Street and 72nd Avenue South and another $1 million for South 212th Street between 84th Avenue South and Highway 167. “I expect that we will add more to the 2014 list as we get a better idea of what the income level will be,� LaPorte said. “This list is closely tied with the cost of each roadwork element versus the probable income.�
Located in the heart of Kent at Center Point Corporate Park, the new lending center will be managed by David Parr, vice president and regional team manager for the bank’s commercial lending activities.

Parr will lead a staff of three commercial loan officers and an underwriter, including: Tom Leander, vice president and relationship manager; Doug Thatcher, vice president and relationship manager; Wallace Ho, vice president and relationship manager; and Kim Richmond, assistant vice president and underwriter.

She received her bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate degrees from Washington State University. When interviewed by phone Tuesday morning, Rieger said she was very excited about the opportunity. “I’m honored to have this opportunity,� she said. “I’m really excited about being a part of the Renton School District team and being a part and the community.� Rieger currently lives not too far from the district, but said she had plans to move within the Renton School District. Already she has a plan for her first steps in the position. “First thing I’m going to do is get a real good sense of what is in Renton, listen and learn about the good things that are happening and work with the team and create some plans as needed,� Rieger said.
Renton’s previous superintendent, Mary Alice Heuschel, left office in January to become Gov. Jay Inslee’s chief of staff. A former assistant superintendent, Vera Risdon, is the interim superintendent until Rieger steps into her new role in July. “Renton’s reputation attracted a strong field of candidates due in part to the tremendous community support we receive,� said Desmarais. “And with the community’s help in assessing leadership potential, Dr. Rieger rose to the top. Nearly forty people committed to spending several evenings with us, listening to interviews and offering comments to guide us in selecting our finalists, and many participated in the three day-long final selection process.

The Alvord T. Bridge – one of the most deficient bridges in the state of Washington – will be permanently closed to traffic on June 28. The bridge, originally built in 1914, spans the Green River on 78th Avenue South at the southern city limits of Kent. The bridge serves an industrial and agricultural area, carries about 2,500 vehicles a day and has long been one of the county’s most deficient and seismically vulnerable structures. Despite ongoing care

and maintenance, the bridge has steadily deteriorated over the years. The structure has low overhead clearance, narrow driving lanes, rotting timber approach supports and poor sight distance. In 1996 the county performed extensive repairs knowing that full replacement or closure would become necessary in future years. More recent studies have confirmed continued deterioration and severely rusted supports. The structure is also prone to fractures triggering weigh limits that prohibit heavy vehicle loads from crossing the bridge. Learn more at www. kingcounty.gov/AlvordTBridge.

State PTA likes Inslee’s efforts
Letters policy
Washington State PTA would like to thank Gov. Inslee for advancing the budget conversation. We like some of his ideas around targeted investment and look forward to engaging with the Senate and House appropriation committees about funding levels for K-12 education.

GUEST EDITORIAL
Momentum growing for immigration reform The powers in the other Washington appear to be aligning to reform our country’s immigration laws. It has taken awhile, but it is now time to make the necessary changes. There are an estimated 12 million undocumented workers in our country. While people may disagree on the ultimate
solution, many concede that it’s not practical to deport them and not fair to leave them in limbo. Immigrants have been part of our history since our nation’s founding. To this day, the freedoms and promise of America continue to attract people in search of a better life. For more than 200 years,

EDITOR’S NOTE
“Should the city do more to replace the Commons Playfields?”
Mark Klaas
?
Question of the week:
Richard Thomas, the football player, is no stranger to the sting of battle. The former Kentwood High, University of Washington and NFL fullback often delivered the nasty blow, whether it meant picking up a crucial yard or removing a blitzing linebacker. He paid the price, made the sacrifice for others on the field. But Thomas, the husband and father of three, is facing a different kind of challenge these days. And it brings on a different kind of pain. His wife, Christie, is slowly recovering from a traumatic brain injury. She continues to fight for her life. “To go through this, it definitely reveals your character … your faults and what you are capable of as far as compassion and kindness,” Thomas said of the emotional family ordeal. “We try to keep it extremely upbeat, keep the environment positive, full of faith and hope, mostly love. That’s what seems to make a big difference for us in the journey so far.” The journey has had many ups and downs. It began last July when the 39-year-old woman suffered a brain aneurysm and underwent major surgery. “Paramedics and doctors at Harborview (Medical Center in Seattle) thought it was a miracle that she even survived the trip,” Richard said. After showing signs of recovery, Christie agonized through a second brain hemorrhage that led to emergency surgery. Today, Christie is on the mend again, recovering at a long-term care facility in Federal Way. She’s unable to communicate verbally but able to breathe on her own. She is showing emotion, making progress and
wave after wave of immigrants have come to our shores, started at the bottom, worked hard and moved up the economic ladder. With the exception of Native Americans, all of our ancestors were immigrants. In Washington, new immigrants continue to play a major role in our economy, particularly in agriculture, where they often take jobs
development for staff. And the need keeps growing. A school’s ability to teach its students should not hinge on whether a local excess levy passes, or the amount of fundraising a community can sustain. For years, our schools have been severely underfunded, from gaps in allocations for transportation, maintenance and supplies, to gaps in operating costs. The state pays for about three out of four teachers and only partially covers a basic middle and high school day. Textbooks are on an 18-year funding cycle. The governor’s plan addresses some of those gaps, while also keeping an eye on overall revenue needs. We like his investments in early learning and the additional instructional hours for middle and high school. – Novella Fraser, Washington State PTA president
citizens won’t. For example, even though 300,000 people in our state are unemployed, Central Washington growers could not find enough workers last year to harvest their crops. With no one to bring in the harvest, fruits and vegetables were left to rot in the fields. Historically, Washington has played a central role in immigration reform. In the 1980s, Washington Republican Congressman Sid Morrison, an orchardist from the Yakima Valley, teamed with then-California [ more BRUNELL page 7 ]

Congressman Leon Panetta to propose a “guest worker” program. That program permitted U.S. employers to sponsor non-U.S. citizens as laborers for approximately three years, after which the workers had to return to their native country if they had not yet obtained a green card. While the proposal passed the House in 1984, it died in the U.S. Senate. Subsequent efforts in 1986 and 2004 also went nowhere. The stumbling blocks to meaningful reform have been over priorities. Some argue that we first need to secure our nation’s border to stem illegal crossings before developing a path to citizenship for undocumented workers. Others say the path to citizenship should come first. Recently, former Republican Florida Gov. Jeb Bush suggested the solution may be developing a path toward legal status for undocumented immigrants who could then apply for citizenship. Ultimately, President Obama and Congress need to decide those questions, but they need to buckle down and act this year. The pressure for reform is building across the nation. State leaders from business, politics, churches, civic groups, law enforce-
ment and agriculture have come together in Washington, Utah, Iowa, Indiana, Colorado and Texas to sign compacts laying out key elements for reform. Further evidence that momentum for reform is growing came in a joint statement of shared principles signed last month by business and labor leaders. In the statement, U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue and AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka agreed that American workers should have first crack at available jobs, employers need help filling jobs, and we need a transparent system to identify future labor shortages. When two classic protagonists such as the Chamber and AFL-CIO can reach agreement, it is time for Congress to act.

Make a Charitable Gift at Death with an I.R.A.
Now through May 2nd
An I.R.A. is an excellent way to make a charitable contribution at death. The charity is designated as beneficiary and receives the proceeds at death. The charity is exempt from income taxation and receives the proceeds free of income tax. The charity uses the entire amount for its purposes. If the estate is taxable for estate tax purposes, the gift of the I.R.A. also gains a charitable deduction for estate tax purposes. If you intend to leave a portion of your estate to charity, make the charity the beneficiary of your I.R.A.

Got sun? No drinking problems here: Barberry – these plants makes a point about not drinking too much. They are also covered with barbs and this makes barberries a great shrub to use near low windows as a security planting to keep the burglars out – or the kids in. New barberry varieties come in cute little dwarf forms, (Crimson Ruby) bold blondes with golden foliage (Golden Nugget is a
Marianne Binetti
The second week of April is a great time to upgrade the landscape with “Unbeatable Plants.� Why put up with problem plants when there are so many wellbehaved trees, shrubs and flowers that love to grow here and never complain? These plants never have a drinking problem, love our climate and adjust to a range of soil and sunlight situations. Our climate has wet springs, windy winters and a dry summers. These plants can’t be beat when it comes to surviving. April is the month to find them at local nurseries.
THE GARDENER
Make way for ‘Unbeatable Plants’ dwarf blonde) and my new favorite, a tall, skinny red-leafed barberry that looks like a rocket ready to blast off (Helmond Pillar Barberry) Spiraea – The golden spiraeas will thrive in dry soil but like all shrubs, they will need extra water the first summer after planting. Then their roots will be established and they can handle life without your help. Spiraeas are rounded shrubs, happy to share a sunny bed with the barberry brothers as the two plants have foliage colors that combine well. Goldflame Spiraea has bronzy new growth and hot pink blooms, Limemound spiraea is more yellow-green in summer and bronze in the fall and the “Magic Carpet� spiraea dazzles with gold, red and pink color shades on the leaves. You can control the size of these spiraeas by
shearing them back just about any time of year. Get creative and plant a sunny bank with a serpentine line of spiraea. Then add accents of purple barberry and you’ll have a droughtresistant display of gold and purple foliage. Sedum – My favorite perennial is Sedum “Autumn Joy� with an upright form, rounded leaves and rusty panicles of bloom – but wait, I also love Sedum “Frosty Morn� with green leaves edged in pure white and pale white flowers in the fall and then there are all the lower growing sedums that carpet the ground to block out weeds such as the stonecrop, sedum Angelina and the ever-expanding varieties of Sempervirens or Hen’s and Chicks. Sedums do especially well in containers with good drainage making them perfect plants for gardeners that go on vacation or ignore their potted plants for weeks at a time. Purple Smoke Tree – (Cotinus Coggygria) one of the few trees that can also be cut back every spring to ground level and
grown as a shrub and that will thrive in rocky soil, dry soil or regular soil. The rich, royal purple foliage makes a lovely companion for bold and burgundy spiraeas or barberry plants and adding boulders rather than bushes around a smoke tree is a rock solid design idea. Yucca – Bright, bold and graphic, you can give any landscape a contemporary edge by adding yucca to the landscape. I use yucca in urns that are located far away from the hose. The foliage of yucca plants looks like symmetrical swords radiating out from a center stem so no deer, elk or slug has ever bothered a yucca plant. New varieties come with gold and pink stripes on the barb-tipped leaves. Make it a point to be careful when working around yucca plants – they can be prickly.

Man caught at Kent casino using counterfeit $100 bills BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com
Kent Police cited a man for investigation of using two counterfeit $100 bills while playing Spanish blackjack at the Great American Casino in Panther Lake. Officers returned to the casino at about 4:42 p.m. April 1 after a casino manager called to report a second counterfeit $100 bill being played at a card table in the past 24 hours, according to the police report. Four officers responded to the casino, 20500 108th Ave. S.E., because the manager noted that the man, a regular customer, had been previously involved in a high speed police chase and talked about being armed with a gun. Police found the man at one of the tables and asked him to step away. An officer then pulled the man’s arms back to detain him because he could be a possible flight risk based on the manager’s report. “Why would I pass bad money,” the man said as officers detained him. An officer noted they had not even said anything to the man about counterfeit money. The man initially told police he got the money from a friend but later said he didn’t know where the bills came from. He said if he knew they were fake he wouldn’t have used them. When officers searched the man, they discovered a prescription pill bottle from the Rite Aid drug store near the casino. An officer checked with the pharmacy and discovered it was a fake prescription. The casino turned over video surveillance to police that reportedly showed the man using the fake bills to place bets. The casino had noticed the first fake $100 bill when going through collections from earlier in the day. That caused the manager to notify police and send out a notice to dealers to be alert to potentially more counterfeit bills. A dealer later noticed a man trying to pay with a fake $100 bill.
apartment in the 200 block of East Gowe Street. The woman told officers an argument turned into a fight because she agreed to perform oral sex on the man if he paid her in meth but he never gave her the meth, according to the police report.

BLOTTER down the back. A witness called 911 to report the fight. Officers noted that the woman had red and watery eyes consistent with being hit with mace. The woman said she used to live with the man but they had been broken up for sometime. The man denied a romantic relationship with the woman. He told officers
he simply provided her a place to stay because she was homeless. The man said he had to defend himself with mace when the woman tried to break down his apartment door. Reports indicated the woman had been trespassed from the property because of previous incidents. Officers told the woman they didn’t arrest her for trespassing because of the alleged assault.

Assault Officers arrested a 23-yearold man for investigation of fourth-degree assault after he allegedly grabbed his mother by her hair and pulled her down a stairway at about 8:10 p.m. March 31 at a home in the 24200 block of 101st Place Southeast. The man said he was upset about his sister’s laziness as she slept on the couch and confronted his mother about it, according to the police report. He told officers he was home from college to pick up a few personal belongings and became angry about his family’s laziness while he was away at college. The man denied that he touched or pushed his mother.

The man told police he and his wife recently received their tax refund and he didn’t want his wife to know he was spending so much on the razors. She was shopping in the store with him so he said he hid the razors from her and then forgot to pay for them when they bought the other items in the cart. The man offered to pay for the razors but store personnel wanted to press charges because it looked to them on the security cameras that he tried to steal the razors. Police also arrested the man for warrants out of Kent for malicious mischief, theft and possession of stolen property.

Jurun seeks win at U.S. Adult Championships BY MICHELLE CONERLY
mconerly@kentreporter.com
SPSL BOYS SOCCER UPDATE Kentwood High’s boys soccer team has moved into second place behind Thomas Jefferson with a little more than half of the South Puget Sound League North division schedule behind it. Through play Monday, the Conquerors were 6-1-2, with a showdown set up Wednesday evening with the Raiders after the Reporter’s press deadline. Jefferson defeated Kentwood 3-1 in the first meeting March 15. The Raiders stand atop the North at 7-0-2 with 23 points. Kentwood finished Monday night’s contest against Kentridge with a 2-2 draw. The Chargers are currently in sixth place in the division behind Tahoma, which has a record of 4-4-2 with 14 points. Kentlake came back from a 2-1 deficit at halftime April 5 against Kent-Meridian to secure its second league win of the season but the Falcons have struggled this year after losing a number of players from the 2012 squad to graduation.
Elaine Jurun has never let fear stop her from reaching a goal. As a child, the blades of her ice skates scared her, but that fear wasn’t enough to deter Jurun from learning to spin like a top, jump high in the air and glide effortlessly across the smooth ice. Now, as an adult, the Auburn woman has set an even greater goal, and no possible fear is going to get between her and that prized gold medal. This weekend, Jurun will compete in the 2013 U.S. Adult Figure Skating Championships in Scottsdale, Ariz. Unlike before when she competed in pair skating, Jurun will be all alone on the ice representing the region. “Getting back into this as a single skater was tough,� Jurun said, “(And) I’m the only one in the entire competition from the Pacific Northwest.� But the pressure to com-

her creativity when it comes to coaching as well. Some coaches will stick to a more conservative style. Not Jurun. She prides herself on having artistic choreography, not only in her students’ programs but also her own. So for the upcoming competition, Jurun used her artistic vision to create a program – music, moves and all – based on a dress that reminded her of the 1700s. “A lot of people find pretty music and just skate,� she said. “I always find a theme and stick to it the whole time. My music is from the Marie Antoinette movie.� With her hair poofed up and her pink renaissance inspired outfit, Jurun’s ready to compete against 13 other skaters in the Masters Junior/Senior Championship event. “I’m excited to do my program,� she said. “I really enjoy (skating), but I wouldn’t (compete) if I didn’t think I had a chance.�

single skater last June. And although she skates through her program at least twice a day, she’s not leaving any stone unturned this time
when it comes to the rules. At sectionals last month in Pasadena, Calif., Jurun was marked down for having too many of the same jump, leaving her in second place. This time around, she’s fixed her 3 minute, 40-second program, hoping the changes will make a difference. “I’ve got seven jumps, three of them combinations, three spins, and a footwork sequence,� she said. “(And) if I’m changing anything in my program, I’m reading that (rule) book.� Jurun explained that in an adult division, the pressure to move up to the next level isn’t there, allowing her to focus more on her love of skating as opposed to competition side of it. But she’s still proud that at her age, she’s able to land some pretty difficult moves. “I’m 31 and can still do a triple salchow,� Jurun said, a feat most adult skaters might find harder as they get older. Age also doesn’t stop Jurun from exploring the

Kentwood off to hot SPSL start
T-Birds fall in WHL first round REPORTER STAFF
The Kelowna Rockets defeated the Seattle Thunderbirds 3-2 in overtime of Game 7 in British Columbia to win the firstround Western Hockey League playoff series 4-3. The Kent-based Thunderbirds won the first three games of the series before being eliminated by losing four straight. Seattle earned a playoff berth for the first time in four years
BY KRIS HILL khill@covingtonreporter.com
The Kentwood High baseball team seems to have picked up right where it left off in 2012 starting out undefeated in league play through April 8 while Tahoma is breathing down the neck of its rival down the road and Kentlake is still in the hunt for a playoff berth at the midway point. With a 7-2 win over Auburn Tuesday, Kentwood improved to 8-0 in the SPSL North and 11-1 overall, with sole possession of first place in the North. Against the Trojans the Conquerors racked up 11 hits while giving up just two runs on eight hits. Michael Ciancio was 2-for-3 at the plate for Kentwood with a double and two runs scored while Reese McGuire was 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles as well as a triple to deep left center which drove in two runs in the bottom of the fifth. Kade Kryzko went 3-for-3 with a double and two RBIs while Jordan Jones got the win on the mound with five innings of scoreless pitching. Tahoma and Kentwood squared off April 3 in a South Puget Sound League
with the No. 7 seed. In Game 7 on April 3, Luke Lockhart scored for Seattle with seven seconds left in the third period to tie the game and send it to overtime. Lockhart got the puck in the low slot and beat Kelowna goalie Jordon Cooke high for the goal. Seth Swenson and Roberts Lipsbergs had the assists on the tying goal. Goalie Brandon Glover was on the bench for an extra attacker when the
goal was scored. Tyson Baillie won it for the Rockets at 5:10 of overtime. It was Baillie’s third goal of the game. It marked the fifth game of the series that went to overtime. The T-Birds won the first three games of the series in overtime. Kelowna won Game 6 in overtime. Kelowna advanced to the second round of the playoffs to face the Kamloops Blazers.

Published in Kent, Covington/ Maple Valley/Black Diamond Reporter on April 12, 2013. #767546. The City of Kent, 220 4th Avenue South, is seeking coverage under the Washington State Department of Ecology’s Construction Stormwater NPDES and State Waste Discharge General Permit. The proposed project, BriscoeDesimone Levee Improvements, is located at four segments (“reaches”) along the east bank of the Green River, between South 200th Street and South 180th Street, in Kent, WA, in King County. This project involves 9 acres of
soil disturbance for the following construction activities: Construct and install a structural steel sheet pile wall at the back of the existing levee slope to act as a secondary levee to reduce flood risk to the cities of Kent, Tukwila and Renton. Sheet piles will be installed using vibratory equipment (but no impact hammers) and will be between 23 and 64 feet deep, depending on location. The above-ground portion of the wall will resemble concrete block and will range from 8 feet to 13 feet tall. To allow for re-vegetation and habitat restoration, benches will be constructed where feasible along the riverbank. These benches will entail excavation between the ordinary high water mark and the existing Green River trail to create a bench of up to 15 feet wide where native trees and shrubs will be planted. Approximately 6,000 cubic yards of fill material will be used to construct this project. An estimated 277 trees and 29 stumps will be removed, in addition to invasive or non-native vegetation. Approximately 330 trees and 3,500 shrubs will be planted as mitigation on the excavated benches. The existing asphalt trail will be removed and relocated further landward adjacent to the flood wall, with handrails placed on top of the wall. All existing public access points will be maintained and where necessary, stairways will be constructed. An ADA accessible ramp will be constructed at the west end of South 190th Street. Stormwater will be discharged to the ground via infiltration. Excess runoff will be routed through best management practices to ensure only clean water is discharged either directly to the Green River or to the city of Kent stormwater system, which in the area of construction will discharge to Lower Mill Creek or the Green River. Any persons desiring to present their views to the Washington State Department of Ecology regarding this application, or interested in Ecology’s action on this application, may notify Ecology in writing no later than 30 days of the last date of publication of this notice. Ecology reviews public comments and considers whether discharges from this project would cause a measurable change in receiving water quality, and, if so, whether the project is necessary and in the overriding public interest according to Tier II antidegradation requirements under WAC 173-201A-320. Comments can be submitted to: Department of Ecology Attn: Water Quality Program, Construction Stormwater P.O. Box 47696, Olympia, WA 98504-7696 Published in the Kent Reporter on April 12, 2013 and April 19, 2013. #766650.

CITY OF KENT OFFICE OF THE HEARING EXAMINER NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING BRISCOE-DESIMONE LEVEE IMPROVEMENTS SMC-2013-1 KIVA #RPP3-2130618 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 a structural steel sheet pile wall at the back of the existing levee slope to act as a secondary levee to reduce flood risk to the cities of Kent, Tukwila and
Renton. The proposed flood wall will provide a minimum of 3 feet of freeboard above the predicted 500-year flood event in order to meet FEMA accreditation requirements. The flood wall will be constructed in three segments along the east bank of the Green River, between South 200th Street and South 189th Street. The sheet piles will be installed using vibratory equipment (but no impact hammers) and will be between 23 and 64 feet deep, depending on location. The above-ground portion of the wall will range from 8 feet to 13 feet tall, when viewed from surrounding businesses. To allow for re-vegetation and habitat restoration, benches will be constructed where feasible along the riverbank. These benches will entail excavation between the ordinary high water mark and the existing Green River trail to create a bench of up to 15 feet wide where native trees and shrubs will be planted. Approximately 40,000 cubic yards of material will be removed to create the planting benches. An estimated 277 trees and 29 stumps will be removed, in addition to invasive or non-native vegetation.
