City seeks voluntary compliance from sex offender group homes BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

Kent city officials have not yet sent out any notices of violation of city code to group homes housing sex offenders. Ten group home operators were notified by the city that they must

shut down because they are in violation of the city code for being too close to schools, child care facilities or other sex offender homes. City officials are working to get the operators to voluntarily comply before taking further steps. “The city has not sent out any notices of violation yet regarding this

Downtown apartments taking shape Complex to feature rooftop deck; opens September 2014 BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

The apartment complex under construction in downtown Kent is expected to feature a rooftop deck with a bar, barbecue pits

and a workout facility when it opens in September 2014. Construction started in June on The Platform Apartments at the corner of West Smith Street and Fourth Avenue North, site of the old unfinished parking garage. The complex will feature about 166 units with an average

square footage of 745 feet for the studio, one bedroom and two bedroom apartments, said Matt Parent, director of development for Goodman Real Estate of Seattle. The five-story project will include a rooftop deck. [ more COMPLEX page 4 ]

His name was Chase – fitting for a fun-loving, adventurous boy who enjoyed racing. Aboard a powerful, swift motorcycle, Chase Stancil was comfortable and competitive. He challenged many trails, honed his skills and eventually found his way to the local dirt track. He raced against kids his own age, even those older, more experienced behind the handlebars. Stancil was speeding down a straightaway during a practice run on the motocross track at Pacific Raceways on Aug. 7 when the 15-year-old Kent boy went over a small bump,

He was a good friend, student and an athlete who was looking forward to putting on the football pads to begin practice this month. His sudden loss stunned friends. “He was a really good guy, funny. He was always joking around with someone,” said Emmitt Medina, who rode dirt bikes with Stancil. “It’s so scary because it could have been me. … You never think it’s going to happen to someone you’re close with.” Grant Sattelberg, a senior-to-be at Kentridge,

He never argued with anyone,” Sattelberg said. “He always had your back, no matter what you were going through.

Sharp, Stober to face off in City Council race BY STEVE HUNTER

Bailey Stober declared victory over Barbara Phillips in their Kent City Council primary race for second place behind Ken Sharp and a spot in the Nov. 5 general election. The tally released Tuesday by King County Elections shows Sharp with 4,715 votes (41.2 percent); Stober with 3,386 votes (29.59 percent); and Phillips with 3,282 votes (28.68 percent). That gives Stober a lead of

KENT POLICE INVESTIGATE SEXUAL ASSAULT CASE Kent Police are investigating a sexual assault, which occurred about 1 p.m. Aug. 6, at an East Hill apartment complex. Patrol units arrived and met with a woman who reported that she was sexually assaulted in her residence by a stranger who entered the unit through an unlocked front door. She said the suspect pointed a knife at her, and directed her into one of the bedrooms. Once inside the room the suspect pushed her on the bed and forcibly kissed her. During the ordeal, the suspect was spooked by a noise whereupon he stopped what he was doing, and fled.

The race for the second remained too close to call after the first release of results on Aug. 6. “On election night we were three votes behind Barbara for second place,” Stober said in a media release last week to declare his win over Phillips. “I knew we would gain momentum in the later days because we had successfully executed a plan to reach late voters in Kent.

Kluzak, a five-year veteran with the department, responded to a 911 call early in the evening Jeff Kluzak July 29 for help involving a medical incident with a Kent woman, according to a Kent Police media release. Kluzak was the first emergency responder at the scene. He grabbed his Automated

External Defibrillator (AED) from his patrol vehicle. He went inside the home and determined the woman’s condition to be critical. She had no pulse, struggled to breathe and her skin color began to turn blue. The officer applied the AED to the patient and within seconds he was advised by the device to shock her. After the shock deployment, Kluzak began CPR efforts and successfully revived her. Kent Fire Department personnel then arrived and took over primary medical care. The patient’s condition stabilized and paramedics transported her to a nearby hospital for further treatment. After her release a week later from the hospital, the woman said, “The doctor’s told me I was dead, but that officer saved my life.” The AED automatically diagnoses potentially life threatening cardiac arrhythmias in a patient, and if necessary treats them through the application of electrical therapy.

City seeks loop trail ideas REPORTER STAFF

The city of Kent’s parks department is still seeking public comment on its proposed link for the Green River and Interurban Trails. Trail users will have until Aug. 25 to take the online survey at kentwa.gov/KVLTSurvey/. When the survey concludes, city staff will put the updated information on the website. City staff hasn’t tallied the responses yet, but according to Parks Project Manager Brian Levenhagen, the city is looking to increase the safety and comfort of the trail, as well as improve the amenities and connect the trails to downtown and other parks. Nothing is certain yet because the proposal is still in the master planning process. The Valley Loop Trail was proposed earlier this summer after the parks department realized that it could easily connect the two trails into a single loop. It has yet to be determined where the trails will connect and the costs associated with either making the loop 10 or 12 miles.

certain procedures as outlined in city code,” Galazin said. City staff found out that many homes, initially set up to house recovering drug addicts and alcoholics, had over time transitioned to housing sex offenders. State and federal laws limit city’s regulations of the clean-and-sober homes but do not restrict locations of group homes for sex offenders. The group home op-

erators had until July 31 to comply with city code by having the sex offenders move out. The 10 homes have housed as many as 83 sex offenders at one time, according to city officials. If operators don’t comply, the city will send a notice of violation which is subject to a penalty of $500 per home for each violation issued and the city can issue the violations daily. The city also can fine the property owners.

There is a 14-day window for accused violators to contest or mitigate the ticket. Operators could go before the city hearing examiner to appeal the violation and then could appeal that decision to King County Superior Court. Eddie Weber, who operates six of the 10 homes found to be in violation of the city code, said he plans to continue to fight the city to keep his homes open for sex offenders.

COMMENTARY

“Does the Interurban Trail need improvements?”

Thom Stoddert

Question of the week:

Exploitation of elderly veterans is happening throughout the Puget Sound region, most frequently in elder care facilities. Unscrupulous business people, usually from the financial, legal or some other related field, will appear as an advocate by telling veterans and their widows of a little known Veterans Affairs (VA) benefit that can help with medical expenses. They present themselves as patriotic, valuable members of the community, even wrap themselves in the Bible. They want to help veterans and widows apply for the Department of Veterans Affairs Pension Program and/or Aid & Attendance. What does the VA really have? There is, among several programs administered by the VA, a pension program for veterans or widows of veterans who are too disabled to work and have military duty during a period of war. The veteran does not need to have been in combat. Since the pension benefit was never intended for every veteran, the minimal financial worth requirement must also be met. This is usually about less than $80,000, and this is where the “Pension Poachers,” as they are called in the other Washington, come in. Agents from very patriotic sounding organizations want to help a veteran or widow make a claim for this program. Several things can happen at this point. They will attempt to sell financial products so as to reposition-lower (or as the VA calls it “hiding”) the claimant’s real financial worth. They may even charge the claimant a fee for legal or financial services. Affidavits collected by legitimate veteran service officers document how a lawyer and a financial planner (poachers) tried to sell an elderly Seattle couple products, making them very suspicious. This was during the course of filing a claim to the VA. When that failed, they tried to charge the couple hundreds for legal costs. There are many other problems generated by these so-called advocates. The first is that they put the veteran or widow into jeopardy with the VA for falsely appearing impoverished and receiving federal money that was not intended for them. The VA can put a lien on all future benefits and/or demand repayment. Worse, after working with these businesses, the claimant will most likely need Medicare within the next five years. The poachers used a loophole in VA law in that it does not have a “look back” period. However, Medicare has a five-year look back time in which it assesses the vet’s financial worth.

The need for pro-homeowner City Councilmembers The current Kent City Council is loaded with probusiness/anti-homeowner members. Councilmembers Dana Ralph, Elizabeth Albertson, Les Thomas, Bill Boyce and Council President Dennis Higgins consistently vote in ways that favor businesses and burden homeowners. The major case in point is the hard-fought enactment of a business and occupation (B&O) tax to fund repairs to our badly damaged streets and roads. That damage is the direct result of Kent’s huge number of 16- and 18-wheelers that businesses use to distribute their wares. The Kent Valley is the fourth-largest small-industrial manufacturing center in the United States. Our streets and roads are punished daily by these huge trucks. The Chamber of Commerce lobbied the council to include many exemptions and loopholes into the B&O small print – reducing the amount of revenue the city needs to adequately repair city streets. The chamber also dictated to the council that B&O funds only be used for roads and streets on the valley floor. Then came the fight over improvement to the 256th street area, when home and property owners followed the council’s petition guidelines to overturn the local improvement district (LID) imposition

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. Deadline for letters to be considered for publication is 2 p.m. Tuesday. of over $2 million dollars in assessments. In spite of the successful petition, members of the council (led by business owner Ralph, Albertson and Higgins) suggested to the rest of the council that they overlook the petition and impose another LID on these home and property owners, requiring them to submit a petition (for the third time), to protest this assessment. To their credit, Councilmembers Perry and Ranniger objected to overturning this second duly-submitted petition and imposing a new LID. Pro-business members would rather burden homeowners than increase the B&O and collect increased revenue from the offending businesses that tear up our roads. The current City Council consists of too many pro-business members. We need prodemocracy candidates who will uphold their oath to represent the interest of all Kent

citizens – not just business owners. The current members are far too cozy with business interests led by the powerful Chamber of Commerce. The B&O tax can provide substantial revenue to keep our roads and streets repaired. All the council needs to do is increase the rate assessed from business owners, eliminate most of the loopholes, and reduce the number of big businesses which have been exempted from taxation. The council has become too fond of turning to homeowning taxpayers for every city need. The businesses who ravage our streets need to be responsible for repairing them. Kent taxpayers are sick of the city burdening us with taxation without fair representation. I encourage young, informed, educated men and women to run for a seat on our city government. We need your vigorous advocacy to provide fair and just governance instead of us suffering under a governing body that increasingly serves the interests of rich, influential business interests in the city. – Sandra Gill

[ LETTERS from page 5 ] The two things that are impacting me now both have to do with smells and smoke: cigarettes and charcoal barbecues. A bunch of chain smokers moved into the apartment under me and when they smoke, my living room turns into an ash tray. Likewise, one buffoon dousing his barbecue with too much lighter fluid turns the enter patio area for many people into a smelly gas chamber. I think it’s high time someone in our state Legislature extends the bans on smoking in public places to multifamily housing units. It

should not be OK to smoke anywhere near people (and small children) who don’t smoke. And if you want to barbecue at an apartment, get a clean gas grill. If someone wants to foul their nest, then do so. … but buy a house with a lot of land first. Other people should not have to be impacted by your addictions and vices, And a final warning to landlords. In California, a secondhand smoke case was decided … in favor of the non-smokers who were awarded $15,000. Do you want to start handing out a year’s worth of free rent? Then clean up your acts and ban the smokers. – John Bailo

Kentwood computer science game project attracts national attention BY ROSS COYLE rcoyle@kentreporter.com

Two Kentwood High School student’s computer science projects landed national attention when Microsoft selected them centerpieces at its Worldwide Partner Conference in Houston. Zachary Nawar, 18 and Evan Brossard, 17, and their teacher, Shannon Henderson, were invited to participate in the July event, which works as a networking platform for Microsoft’s global business partners and sees more than 14,000 attendees. Nawar and Brossard’s game took center stage at the public sector display, which showcases the software giant’s contributions to nonprofits, education and other public sector entities. The game, Defend Your City, was developed using Microsoft’s XNA development tools that the company provided to Kentwood’s computer science program. Defend Your City plays similar to missile command of the 1980s. Players

cooperate to defend three cities from falling meteors, with modernized graphics and upgrades available for destroying certain asteroids. It got on Microsoft’s radar after winning the Best in Show award at Kent School District’s VisFest. Originally, game design wasn’t even in Nawar’s future, and he had considered joining the Marine Corps out of high school. “Every kid wants to grow up to make video games,” said the 18-year-old, “and this is just some closet fantasy that I had.” Now Nawar will be attending the Digipen Institute of Technology in Redmond to focus exclusively on game design. He’s looking forward to attending the small, private institution. “I’m looking forward to meeting people who are like me, who like video games and like creating them, who have a passion for them and motivation and enthusiasm,” Nawar said. He got his start in programming by working on custom scenario maps for the strategy game, Warcraft

3, by Blizzard software. He moved from programing to coding, and says that the best way to learn is to simply jump in and see what you can do. “When someone asks me to teach them how to program, I say, ‘No, I can’t teach you, you have to teach yourself,’ ” Nawar added. “It’s not something you can learn and take a test for. You have to want to learn how to program.” While Nawar began in video games and moved to the classroom, Brossard started by reading up on Java coding from University of Washington class lecture notes. He’s currently studying at a summer workshop at Digipen, which he was awarded a scholarship to. He hopes to go to the school in the future, but his parents are more interested in the UW. He feels he would do better specifically with Digipen’s smaller class size. “I feel like the environment is better there,” he said. “(Students are)more like a family there instead of UW, where it’s so large

and you’re not as close to everybody.” Henderson, Kentwood’s business teacher, took up teaching computer science seven years ago after the former teacher was laid off. She believes that computer literacy is one of the most essential skills students can learn today to prepare them for the future. “It’s around kids on a daily basis,” she says. “Every part of their life right now is affected by technology.” Kids today update on Facebook, Twitter or Wordpress or program games to be played on Xbox’s arcade or upload to the popular digital distribution service Steam. Henderson teaches three different computer science classes at Kentwood, an in-

offers an advanced class for students to work on their own projects, putting the skills they have to practical use.

Kent’s Allegro dancers earn national awards REPORTER STAFF

Kent’s Allegro Performing Arts Academy racked up a number of awards this summer at competitions. Allegro won the Best Musical Theater performance for 2013 at the KAR Dance Awards in July at the MGM in Las Vegas for the “Too Darn Hot” piece, choreographed by Eddie Strachan.

“We are ecstatic that our dancers are having such amazing opportunities and we are excited for what is to come,” said Tonya Goodwillie, owner of Allegro. The academy’s dancers won several national awards starting with Effie Tutko, 14, who won the dancer of the year title from Hollywood Vibe Competition in Orlando, Fla. Adam Vesperman, 15,

won the Elite teen male dancer title from West Coast Dance Explosion in Las Vegas. Vesperman won the junior title a few years ago just before he left to go perform “Billy Elliot” in London for 18 months. Dancer Kristina Doucette, 12, secured Miss JR National Spotlight at the Seaside (Ore.) Nationals. All thee national title winners needed to qualify

at regionals before going through an audition process as well as compete in solo competition to be considered for a national title. The end of July brought two more very prestigious titles back home to Kent. Allegro dancers Trinity Inay, 12, and Connor Gormley, 15, competed against more than 120 dancers for 12 slots in the Pulse’s Elite Protégé program.

August 16, 2013 [9] Inay also is one of 12 featured dancers that are dancing hard for $100,000 grand prize and a Joffrey Ballet Scholarship. She will perform on “Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition Season 2” that airs on Sept. 3 on the Lifetime channel. It’s similar to a “So You

Chris Horel stands on top of a cliff with a strand of webbing as the only thing keeping him from an 80foot plunge. He’s been climbing the cliffs at the Deception Crags for more than seven hours and is working to “clean” (remove the gear from) the last climb of the day. Clouds moved in overhead, raindrops hit the ground, and rolling thunder chased lightning bolts across the alpine forests of North Bend. While anchored to the rock, Horel moves quickly but precisely to untie himself from the rope, run it through a set of chains and tie himself back in. This is his first time cleaning a route, and if his hands slip and drop the rope, he’ll be in serious trouble. But he clears the gear off of the anchors, runs the rope through without dropping it, and signals his belayer that he’s ready to be lowered off the wall. Later, while talking over some post-climb beers, his only summary of the experience is that he “can’t wait to do it again.” It was Horel’s first day climbing outdoors, but he’s fallen in love with the sport since he got involved in it a year ago. He started climbing in rock gyms and after meeting several co-workers who climbed, he got his first taste of outdoor rock Aug. 12. Climbing is a sport that can be done at any time, outdoors during the summer and inside at a rock gym in the winter months. It’s accessible to almost anyone; whether you’re 80 pounds or 280 pounds, you can get into rock climbing. People climb for many reasons; some for the adrenaline rush, some do it to challenge themselves, and some do it to prepare for more intense expeditions. But every reason has the persistent theme of the

“We take the time to care for both our Owners and Tenants”

Chris Horel pauses and searches for a handhold while climbing at the Deception Crags off Interstate 90 near North Bend. Horel says that he’ll have a hard time going back to gym climbing after being in the outdoors. ROSS COYLE, Kent Reporter activity’s immersion. Brandon Blackford, a U.S. Navy officer at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, says that there are few extreme sports that get you as close in touch with nature as climbing does. He says that while sports like skydiving or scuba diving are edgy and fun, they don’t rely on the terrain like climbing does. Other climbers, such as Saeto Beaucher, who works at the Stone Gardens gym in Bellevue and has been climbing for two years, says that climbing is a mental exercise. To him, climbing is about how to use his arms and legs to climb a surface. “Figuring out how I can use my body to solve these puzzles, it’s awesome,” he says. Rock climbing is generally divided into two types: indoor gym and rock walls or outdoor climbing at parks or whatever can be found to climb on. While many climbers like to start in gyms, as soon as they move to “real rock,” they find it hard to go back

indoors. Climbers use ropes, harnesses and specialized shoes, among other tools for climbing, and to novice climbers, the startup costs can seem overwhelming. But while shoes, harnesses and rope are worthwhile investment, they aren’t necessary to get started in climbing. Instead of buying everything at once, most climbers recommend picking it up in pieces, starting with a solid pair of climbing shoes. While there are countless varieties of shoes, climber Bryan Pelach says to buy a cheaper shoe. “When you start out, you’re not gonna know the difference,” he says. Beaucher recommends buying something in the $75 price range. Shoes should fit your feet snugly, often sized down a half or full size from the climbers regular shoe size. Also, few climbers go to a wall without “chalk,” a magnesium carbonate powder that keeps the hands dry and improves grip, usually kept in a chalk bag. Now that you’ve got some basic gear, it’s time to find a place to climb. There are countless areas to climb in Washington, from gyms to outdoor sites. A good place to start, most climbers say, is in a gym that offers rock climbing. For about $120 to $150 new climbers can get a pair of shoes and a gym membership, and everything else is available to rent or use at the gym, including harnesses and ropes. The Seattle-area gyms with rock climbing include the Stone Gardens gyms in Ballard and Bellevue, Vertical World in Lawton Park and Redmond, and the Seattle Bouldering Project in the Atlantic district. For those closer to Tacoma, they can go to Climb Tacoma or Edgeworks.

Time to prune those raspberries THE GARDENER

that offers instant gratification and is used in horticultural therapy to calm and quiet the mind. Watering potted plants on a warm summer evening is another healthy sedative for the busy brain. No wonder some health care providers use gardening as the prescription for better sleep and improved health. Q. I heard you speak at a garden show and you said there were two months when every gardener should bait for slugs. Of course I have forgotten which two months. Could you please write about this in your column? P.L., Enumclaw Marianne Binetti

Got raspberry plants? This is a good week to prune the canes of your raspberries so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll avoid disease and produce more berries next summer. If your raspberries bear in June cut the canes that already gave you fruit all the way to the ground. For ever-bearing raspberry varieties cut back the canes only by one half. You can also snip and clip off dead and faded blooms from all your flowering plants. Deadheading spent blooms not only keeps the garden tidy but discourages insects and pests. Summer deadheading is a task

A. The answer is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aâ&#x20AC;? months of August and April. I heard this gardening tip for the first time early this spring and tried it. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have total slug control but if you only want to invest in slug bait twice a year, April and August are the months to be a slime buster. Q. What is the name of the tree that has needles like a fir tree but turns bright yellow in the fall? I am pretty sure all the needles fall from the tree in the winter. Also, when can I plant this tree if I find one at the nursery? S.S., Puyallup A. You must be thinking of the Western larch (Larix occidentalis) and nothing looks as spectacular

August 16, 2013 [11] in an open lawn as this majestic native tree in golden autumn splendor. The needles do fall from the tree in winter but they make a great mulch and do not need to be raked. You can find this tree at local nurseries. Potted larch trees can be added to the landscape any time of the year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as long as you remember to water after planting and for a few months until the tree roots are established. Q. I love the look of authentic clay flower pots. They do seem to dry out quickly, however. I have seen photos of your garden from your blog at lowes.com/LCI-Gardening and website and know you also use clay pots. How to do you keep them watered? C., Email A. We must be kindred spirits in our love of clay pots but I confess I only plant drought resistant succulents and geraniums in my clay pots

and never rent the space to heavy drinkers. Once a clay pot dries out the best way to save the wilting plant is to immerse the entire pot up to its rim in water so that the clay can absorb the moisture from the outside and the inside. Many of the large pots that I use may look like terra cotta but are actually light weight look-alikes that conserve water. Even the Queen of England has abandoned the tradition of real clay pots in some of her large country gardens. Fall is a good time of year to score great prices on garden pots.

about serving up good food for good company.She and her family have been doing it for 21 years in the heart of the Kent community. “We put our love into our cooking,” said Lee, owner and operator of Mary’s Fine Foods, a local favorite for classic and home-spun American cuisine. “Our customers really love it,” she said. “Whenever they come to our place, they feel like family. It’s like home to them.” Lee and her family – which includes her husband, Tae-Ho Kim, and two sons, Brandon and Justin – have proudly made it a successful business.They family officially celebrates 21 years on the Kent restaurant scene Sept. 20. Lee and her family are the third owners of Mary’s Fine Foods, 23641 104th Ave. After immigrating from South Korea in 1987, Kim decided to get into the restaurant business. Five years later, she bought the eatery, retaining the restaurant’s original 1974 name to honor and retain its loyal customer base. She hasn’t looked back since. “I’m so proud of our 21 years at the same spot, serving great food to our customers,” Lee said. “I would like to thank all of our customers for their support.” Mary’s Fine Foods offers excellent food and service. They serve only fresh ingredients, with a menu filled with a great variety of food to choose from. Like California Benedict, Joe’s Special, Montana Potatoes and many omelets.
