The ShoWare Center’s bottom line took its smallest hit last year since the arena opened in 2009. Kent’s city-owned arena still lost $370,874 in 2013. But that compared to a deficit of $707,541 in 2012 and losses of more than $400,000 in each of the first three years. “That’s our best year in five,” said Tim Higgins, ShoWare general manager, at a Jan. 30 meeting of the Public Facilities District board that helps oversee operations of the $84.5 million arena. The arena had expenses of $2.57 million and income of $2.20 million in 2013,
according to the ShoWare Center income statement. SMG, the company hired by the city to operate the facility, estimated losses of $495,000 for last year. “We budget for what we know and what historically has happened,” Higgins said about the higher loss projection. “As the year progresses through what we call hustling we’re able to find shows and make things happen.” The arena drew a record crowd of 7,129 for a Dec. 14 concert by the popular country duo Florida Georgia Line. It’s those type of concerts that pump up the bottom line. Despite the stronger year

Now that the school has made it to selection, Sefrioui plans to work on finding a building to house Excel. “We had a few on our list,” he said. “Ideally we want to open our school in an existing school because the classroom walls are already up.” One such site is the older Kent Elementary School on Fourth Avenue, across the street from City Hall. “It hasn’t been used by the school district for over a decade,” Sefrioui said. “It’s been rented out by the Calvary Church, and they just moved out so it’s vacant right now. It’s definitely our number one choice. If we don’t wind up

getting a site like that, we’d have to build that.” Sefrioui’s primary goal in a location is one that could be easily adapted for student needs, and so any facilities such as gyms and cafeterias not available would need to be constructed. Sefrioui says that the Excel board is considering other locations, including a portion of the Green River Community College extension at Kent Station or refitting one of the many warehouses that dot the Kent landscape. In addition to the new location, Sefrioui expects to begin the hiring process for the school soon. Eight professionals currently sit on the charter school board, and Sefrioui hopes to bring on an additional Kent resident. He says the board plans to hire a dean by August, who will then go through the hiring process for teachers and
staff. Sefrioui expects to have the school open for the 2015-2016 school year. The key components of Excel’s curriculum will be a rigorous academic schedule and heavy emphasis on STEM subjects, specifically computer science and biomedical subjects. Some educators have raised issues with Excel’s different methods – particularly its extended school days – but Sefrioui insists that the schools the Excel board of directors have used as models for Excel’s program are some of the best schools in the nation. “The only point I can give is to schools that are in different cities outside of Washington,” he said. Other schools accepted were First Place Scholars and Sierra in Seattle, Green Dot Charter, SOAR Academy and Olympus in Tacoma, and PRIDE Prep in Spokane.

LaPorte said bids for the asphalt overlay work should go out in March as the work needs to be done in warmer weather, which means no later than October. “We have some work to do before the workshop in February to pare about $900,000 off,” Councilman Dennis Higgins said. The more expensive projects not recommended by staff for repair at this time include asphalt overlays along South Central Avenue from the Green River to Willis Street ($4 million); East Valley Highway from S. 212th to 196th ($4 million); East Valley Highway from S. 196th to 188th ($4 million); 80th Avenue South from 196th to 188th ($1.5 million); South 212th Street from 84th Avenue South to State Route 167 ($1 million); and South 196th Street from the Green River to 72nd Avenue South ($4.5 million). Brubaker told the committee to keep the bigger picture in mind as well as the council decides which projects to fund. “We have come through some really rough years,” Brubaker said. “I think we have developed out of that a patch mentality to do the minimum. I want to urge you as we move forward to do complete projects and making the streets, trees and plantings and environment look right so people feel good about it when they come into town.”
City Council committee defers hiring consultant to fill job openings BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com
A three-member Kent City Council committee decided to let the full council decide whether to approve a staff request to hire a consultant for $60,000 to help fill two high-profile job openings. The city needs to hire a permanent chief administrative officer (CAO) and a finance director. Both jobs are filled by interim hires. The council’s Operations Committee on a 2-1 vote Tuesday forwarded the proposal to the March 4 regular council meeting. Council President Dana Ralph and Bill Boyce voted in favor of sending the motion to the council. Les Thomas voted against it. “We have new council members and I’d like to see it go forward to other business so other council members can have discussion on this, too,” Boyce said. Jim Berrios joined the council in January. The council will pick a replacement for Ken Sharp, who resigned in January, on Feb. 25, for its full seven-member body. [ more CONSULTANT page 4 ]

Ex-Councilman Clark joins growing list of Kent City Council applicants shunter@kentreporter.com
Tim Clark, a former Kent City councilman and a 2013 mayoral candidate, has added his name to the growing list of applicants for the vacant Kent City Council position. Seventeen people have submitted their names so far, according to a Tuesday email from City Clerk Ronald Moore. The deadline for applicants is Friday, Feb. 7.

The latest applicants included Clark, Ted Schwarz, Jeff Piecewicz, Dan Cox, Ross Hardy, Richard Herrick, Tom Hough, Marina Peck, James Meeker, Wade Clark Schwartz and Jack Ottini. Clark served 16 years on the council before serving the past four years on the Kent School Board. He ran unsuccessfully against incumbent Suzette Cooke for mayor in November. The earlier applicants included Dean Carlson, Elliot Heifetz, Richard L. Mauser, Michael Sealfon, Lauren Stephan and Cheri Stewart. The position became vacant when Ken Sharp resigned Jan. 16 after only two weeks in office because of pending first-degree theft charges. His resignation left the seven-member council one person short. People who have lived in the city limits for at least one year and are registered

“I’d like to see it go to the full council,” Ralph said. “I’m more comfortable with the finance director position than I am with the CAO position in that we haven’t made any attempts on that position. And if we are not getting any (consultant fee) discount because we’re running through two, I’d be more comfortable looking at them separately.” The council decided in September to delay indefinitely a vote on a city staff proposal to spend $26,280 on a consulting firm to help find a new finance director through a nationwide search.

years on the job. Council members voiced concerns about spending that much money on an outside firm rather than using city staff. They also didn’t want to move too fast on a high-profile hire prior to the outcome of the mayoral election Nov. 5 between incumbent Suzette Cooke and challenger Tim Clark. Cooke won reelection and has said she supports hiring a consultant to fill the two positions. “I have a hard time, I’ll be real honest here,” Thomas said about the need for an consultant. “We took it to the full council and voted it down for different reasons and I don’t see that much as changed.” Lorraine Patterson, city human resources director, proposed to the
committee to hire Olympia-based Karras Consulting to conduct national searches for the two positions. She said the city received only 22 applicants for the finance director position by advertising locally and in national publications and only 10 met the minimum qualifications. She said none had experience as a finance director in a comparable city. “We are just unable to reach the right type of candidates, happily employed high performers, because they are not actively in the job market,” Patterson said in her memo to the committee. Patterson noted that Mayor Cooke wants to conduct a national search for a CAO as well so that highly qualified candidates can be contacted
about the opening in Kent. The pay range for a new CAO in Kent is $121,200 to $169,668 per year in salary, according to the city of Kent 2014 pay rate list. The range for a finance director is $106,776 to $149,496. Tom Brubaker is serving at the interim CAO after switching from city attorney. Deputy City Attorney Pat Fitzpatrick is the acting city attorney. Those moves were made after John Hodgson retired in May. Assistant finance director Paula Barry has been named interim finance director to replace Nachlinger during the search for a replacement. The city has not yet advertised the CAO position.

[ COOKE from page 1 ] year,” Cooke said. The City Council is considering whether to sell the par 3 course to a developer because proceeds could cover Riverbend’s $2.3 million debt, its capital investment needs of about $400,000 per year and its annual operating losses. The complex also includes an 18-hole course, driving range and merchandise shop. “It’s not the money loser by itself but the whole golf course program has been very expensive,” Cooke said. “We have to look at where do we cut our losses and how can we best reinvest what we have and yet not cut out the older people that like to use the par 3 or the youth. There’s a lot of emotional ties to that and the City Council has a great challenge ahead of it as it works with our parks team and the public to find a solution. “But I’m very optimistic because I see folks wanting to keep the value of that recreational and educational side of our provision but knowing we can’t keep maintaining lands where we don’t have the money to maintain them.” Cooke, serving her third and what she says is her final four-year term after being reelected in November, highlighted the recent
$5 million state grant to help the city build a 1.8mile extension of South 224th Street over Highway 167 and up the East Hill to Benson Road. “Some have said that’s a street to nowhere,” Cooke said. “I will beg to differ. How many here think you are going to stop the coal trains from running through the Burlington Northern tracks? We have two optimists over here. When those coal trains come in another decade or so no matter how hard we try railroads own this country and they built this country and the country built around them. “You will see so much congestion at grade crossings that you will want to find another way where you will not be sitting there for 20 minutes for a one-mile train to go by. You will therefore see our 224th and 228th connection much busier because people will choose that route instead of having to go over the tracks.” The cost to build more street-railroad grade separations is too expensive and the city doesn’t have the money for those at this time and won’t have it without federal or state grants, Cooke said. “But thanks to the state for the grant to get over the freeway to make that route more accessible for folks,”

she said. The city expects to take bids on the 224th Street extension in the fall. As far as a YMCA in Kent, Cooke introduced Nathan Phillips, recently named regional executive for South King County of the YMCA of Greater Seattle. Phillips will lead efforts to expand the YMCA in the south county area. “Some folks in the Kent community have approached the YMCA about the possibility of building a location in Kent,” Phillips said. “Right now we are in a listening phase and talking to folks about why they think it might work here.” Cooke asked the crowd what they thought of the idea of a YMCA in town and received a round of applause. “We were skipped over by the Y’s, the YM, YW and the boys and girls clubs because the city used to provide it all,” Cooke said. “That’s not in our future. The city cannot be the provider of all the services. But we can help connect those that do provide the services, privately and nonprofits with the community and help the community embrace them.” Near the end of her address, the mayor said she plans to ask the City Council to establish a Cultural Communities Communication Council to reach out

Support our children, vote yes on school levy I remember growing up in a low-income, single-parent household. My mom would work long days and weekends to be able to make ends meet and put food on our table. There were many things we would go without. I remember the feeling of embarrassment when I would show up to school with holes in my pants or shoes. I remember how unstable my home life felt. But there was one place in my world that I could just be a kid and that was at school. When I showed up at school my teachers treated me with compassion and love. I wasn’t judged for what I was wearing or wasn’t wearing – finally a place I felt comfortable. My teachers inspired me to dream big, set goals and focus on what steps I needed to take to achieve those goals. Those same teachers struggled

GUEST EDITORIAL
Let’s be clear about who is educating children Generally all human cultures, regardless of how primitive or advanced, have five basic institutions – political, economic, spiritual, social and educational institutions serving human needs. As much as we value and talk
about the myriad of diversity among us, at the core of human existence there is comparatively little variation. Educating the young is only natural for communities and a “paramount duty” not only for the state. In the area of education humankind is similar to many

“Will the Seahawks repeat as Super Bowl champions?”
Dennis Box
?
Question of the week:
The Seahawks’ Super Bowl win Sunday spurred a few thoughts in my mass of cobwebs. One was that I remember every Super Bowl, from Super Bowl I to Super Bowl XLVIII. That darn time keeps moving, in Roman numerals. I watched the first one with my dad when Vince Lombardi’s Green Bay Packers steamrolled the Kansas City Chiefs, 35-10. Sunday, I watched the Seahawks steamroll the Denver Broncos with my son. It was a good day. It was fitting that Broadway Joe Namath flipped the coin at the opening of the game. I remember Namath beating the Colts and how torn I was to see a young, curly-haired quarterback take apart a team quarterbacked by Earl Morrall with Johnny Unitas on the bench due to an injury. As a kid I was a big Johnny U fan, but I knew the Jets’ coach Weeb Ewbank had the Colts and coach Don Shula figured out. Ewbank had one other ace – youth. A young Namath with a gun for an arm who was ready to unseat the champion. Namath knew when you are in the ring you can’t tie the champion, you knock him out. The Seahawks proved again that football is a young man’s game. Peyton Manning’s Roman numeral age showed and Russell Wilson’s youth did as well. Young legs and arms often spell victory, just as it did in 1969. The Seahawks captivated the young people around me in the office. The young women get all fan nuts over Russell Wilson. I think it is because he has curly hair just like Broadway Joe. I understand that some men are a bit delusional about their hair, or more directly, lack of hair. I try to be extra sensitive about this subject because I am known as Mr. Sweet and Sensitive. Many men are a little jealous of my mop of curly filament (it takes a lot of product for me to keep it under control).

leaders. I am here because of those teachers and schools in Kent that never gave up on me. They constantly pushed me harder and harder until I knew in my heart that I could achieve greatness. Now I fear for those students that come behind me – our schools don’t have the resources to give them the best education possible. I fear that students who have backgrounds like mine will fall through the cracks and chose a lifestyle that will also end up in the paper but for different reasons. We have the opportunity in Kent to show our kids, all of our kids, that they are worth it. I don’t have kids of my own but I know the kids in our community are worth the investment, and I am willing to pay a little bit more to ensure their successful future. Please join me in voting yes on the Kent School District levy. We tell our kids they can be [ more LETTERS page 7 ]

Your taxes will be much higher as there are very few $250,000 homes as used in their example. The school administration seems to think we have endless money. Why aren't these levies out on the Kent election four months ago? It cost millions of dollars to run separate votes. Schools say it doesn't, but I would have to see the figures. Who counts the vote?

[ TATE from page 6 ] further deems educating the young it’s “paramount duty.” The courts have confirmed that state government isn’t living up to its self-declared paramount duty, as evidenced by insufficient funding, class size and other shortcomings. This doesn’t mean that Gov. Jay Inslee, State Superintendent Randy Dorn, other politicians, educators and communities aren’t working to make the vision a reality. Meanwhile, many local districts rely on levies to some extent to finance preparing children for success in life.
School levies Regardless of what the state may or may not do, local communities are driven by their instincts and their intellect to see that their young well prepared for life. As John Dewey puts it, “What the best and wisest parent wants for his own
raphy blocked? What is done about the missing computers? When the last levy passed they said teachers would update the computer systems, and no additional staff would be needed. Did that happen? Kids nowadays are just as smart as past generations but are not taught to think. Instead, just punch a button. Why do you think many cannot fill out a job application if computers are not present? Lower grades do not need computers. The 10th, 11th and 12th grade classes could have computer classes furnished as a regular class. In short, many of us are taxed to the hilt.

child, that must the community want for all of its children. Any other ideal for our schools is narrow and unlovely; acted upon, it destroys our democracy …” Much of the work around levies is lead by local community leaders. Passing levies is also one of those times when we see management, unions, educators, business, politicians, community organizations, realtors, churches and many others unite for the common good. The Kent School District, for example, is one among many districts with outstanding leadership working to prepare all children for success in life. About five years ago Bill Boyce and then Jim Berrios, serving as board presidents, respectively, led the effort to find a superintendent to address the needs of one of the most diverse districts in the state. That board also included Debbie Straus, Chris Davies and Sandy Collins.
[ BOX from page 6 ] There comes a time when we have to accept who we are, that age gives way to youth and some of us are blessed with manes and some are not; we simply have to accept reality and not be delusional.
It’s no easy achievement for a community’s paradigm to evolve to a point where they can elect a board that’s unified on solutions to realities presented by the district’s magnitude of diversity and equity issues. They brought in Edward Lee Vargas for the job. Subsequently board members Tim Clark, Karen DeBruler, Russ Hanscom and Agda Burchard joined Debbie Straus in retaining the right administrative leadership for the community’s children. This is not the time to elaborate upon Dr. Vargas’ successful work in the district, but one example is the creation of iGrad. Considering the direct correlation between the level of education and success in life, the district rounded up hundreds of young people in the community who had dropped out or were no longer enrolled in education institutions. The district partnered with the community college and

For Kent Schools. Citizens for Kent Schools, as it turns out, is registered with the city of Kent as a nonprofit, tax exempt social welfare organization. Just who are these people? On our really nice oversized postcard, printed on glossy heavy paper stock, the Citizens stated their selling points. Your vote will: “Provide 1 in 5 teachers in our award winning classrooms.” Provide them with what? School districts, principals, teachers receive awards. An award-winning classroom? “Restore programs like 5th grade band and orchestra and middle school athletic programs.” Restore? In other words, if the levy doesn't pass, they will cut middle school athletics and two grade school programs. I’m going to assume that the language was approved at the highest administrative level and you just redlined. This is nothing short of bald faced extortion. To this I say, go pound some sand.

enrolled hundreds in the iGrad program to continue their education. The iGrad program potentially lifts hundreds out of the school to prison pipeline (where eventually we might have ended up paying the room and board for some to be incarnated after damaging the community). The iGrad numbers are growing. There are many other activities implemented by the leadership, which prepare young people for success in life, much of which is why Dr. Vargas was recently identified as Superintendent of the Year. But, as Dr. Vargas maintains, it certainly helps that the board is generally unified on what needs to be done and is supportive, as well as having a supportive certificated and classified staff. And, as we all say, thanks to a community that continues to support their children’s education by casting their yes votes for levies.

We, the people, the homeowner, the teachers and kids are entitled to an explanation. Why? The Kent School District can't fully function on a budget of $287,525,409, over a quarter of a billion dollars. Last year the Washington Supreme Court ruled that the Legislature must provide more money for basic education, at which time the Legislature coughed up an additional billion dollars for K-12 schools, of which the Kent School District got $20,000,000. Where did $20 million go? The bottom line is the vast majority of the public support a strong education system for their kids. However, it is long past due on financial accountability. – Dale Brantner

When the officer tried to pull the man over, the man sped up on his bicycle until the officer cornered him on a dead end street. The man jumped off the bicycle and held up his arms, but the officer saw two knives inside the man’s pants pockets so he decided to take the man to the ground with a move that included tripping the man’s legs.

Doctors’ Discovery Helps Diabetes PHILADELPHIA – A team of doctors has found that a formulation of exotic sounding herbs and spices gives diabetics new hope. The formula, called Cinnatrol™ promotes healthy blood sugar levels by effectively metabolizing glucose into energy. In a research study, all patients taking just one capful of the liquid (one ounce) daily, dramatically lowered their blood sugar levels compared to a placebo group. Another scientific study found that an ingredient in Cinnatrol™ made insulin 20 times more capable converting blood sugar to energy. While individual results vary, one patient in the study lowered his blood sugar from 220-245 to the 100-130 range in only
28 days, despite being instructed not to change his dietary habits or physical activity. Some patients, under their doctors care, have been able to reduce or eliminate their need for diabetic drugs. Scientists say that Cinnatrol™ actually helps diabetic drugs to work more efficiently. Additional information is available at www.cinnatrol.com. Cinnatrol™ is available without a prescription at pharmacies and nutrition stores or call 1-877-581-1502. Now at select Now at:

On Dec. 6, 2012, Capodanno shot two men who had broken into the garage of his Puyallup residence – killing both of them. In the garage loft was a marijuana grow with nearly 200 plants. When police officers arrived, they found Capodanno in possession of a Glock 17 pistol which he used to kill the two men. While searching Capodanno’s truck, police found additional marijuana as well as other weapons including a Bushmaster XM-15 assault rifle; an Intratec Tec-9 9 mm pistol; a Benelli 12-gauge shotgun; and a Professional Ordinance MDL Carbon 15.

Durkan gave the following statement about Capodanno. “This defendant knew the risks of drug dealing, and armed himself with multiple weapons to protect his business,” Durkan said. “He invited violence to his child’s home and his community. He acted as judge, jury and executioner for the two men who came to rip off his illegal operation.”
Writing to the court, prosecutors described how Capodanno left the house (with his minor son still inside), while he took his gun and circled around the side of the house and fired back into the house through a window likely killing one of the intruders. Capodanno is seen on the surveillance system he installed carefully aiming and shooting through the window. Evidence retrieved at the scene indicates he then went into the garage and continued to fire more than a dozen shots at the two men, killing both. Prosecutors wrote that Capodanno “is a long-time drug trafficker, selling large amounts of marijuana for over a decade.

Gymnast Ellie Hoekman stands in a corner of the room and abruptly breaks into a run, leaping, vaulting, somersaulting and spinning through the air to finish her floor routine with a salute and victorious smile. Hoekman, a senior at Kentridge High School, has spent the last several weeks preparing for the sub-district meet and is eyeing a possible South Puget Sound League title in her last year as a gymnast. Hoekman has spent much of her
life in sports. She’s been a gymnast since she was 3, but she says that her love of the sports doesn’t come from the competition but from her teammates. While she calls herself a social butterfly, Hoekman says that her true friendships come from the sports and activities she’s a part of. “I think where my friendship is in my team. Those teams are where my true friends are,” she said. “They’re the reason I stay in the sport. The sport is great but I wouldn’t love it at all if it weren’t for the relationships I get from the sport.” Despite her multi-sport background, Hoekman says she’s not planning on pursuing diving, track or gymnastics in college. She’d rather perform for an audience. “I don’t have to smile during a

Kentridge isn’t the only Kent high school with representatives in state wrestling rankings. Kent-Meridian also holds top slots in state rankings. Logan Jefferson currently is 10th in the 182-pound class and Amos Daigbe holds fourth place in the 170-pound division. “It’s cool seeing my name up there,” said Jefferson, who sees his
state placement as proper validation of his hard work. But he says that it hasn’t been easy to come to where he is. “I come into the wrestling season with certain morals and ethics and motivations, and then leave with goals and accomplishments.” A seasoned veteran on the team, Jefferson has been wrestling for more than seven years. The most important part of training for him is making sure he has adequate time to recover from his
matches. One of the key parts of this is making sure he takes care of work ahead of time in school so he has adequate time to rest and recover during the evening. His preferred method? Swimming. Over the next few weeks, he says the most challenging part of training will be straddling the line between pushing himself personally without overworking or hurting himself. “I’m going to go full force into my training, but I’m not going to
pole vault, and I like that, I like performances. I don’t get that with track or diving.” She enjoys the performance aspect of gymnastics the most, similar to her theater work. “The funnest part for me is performing for an audience,” she said. With this in mind, Hoekman is considering joining the cheer squad at Washington State University, which would combine her gymnastic talents as well as allowing her to perform in front of a crowd. She’s considering a medical major at the school, but has yet to seriously make up her mind. But with her athletic and theatrical talents and friendly personality, she’ll have many options in the next four years.

After a loss to Kentridge’s Zach Seibel during a match, Daigbe’s confidence was shaken, but he’s still proud of his work in the last two years. The wrestler put in many hours of extra time after practice to get to where he is now. “When I started the season and I started winning and stuff, people be like ‘this guy just does it, it’s easy.’ But it’s really not easy,” said Daigbe.

He said that the signing left him relieved and excited. “I worked hard all four years at school and it paid off,” Carter added. Carter visited the school on the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend and enjoyed the experience. He also believes that the Wildcats new head coach, Ian Shoemaker, has a good plan for the team. “They’re not just a team,” Carter said, “they’re a brotherhood.” Carter plans to major in psychology at school and hopes to go into sports psychology, ideally for an NFL team. “I want to put the guys back together after they’re hurt,” he said. ing many hours of post practice workouts. “I’d just try to build my muscles up,” he said. “Do push-ups, work on my core, ’cause if you don’t have a strong core you’re not gonna be strong or do anything. Work on my explosive. Work on my shot. Do sprint, just stay in conditioning.” For Daigbe, the hardest moments in training come from getting back into a competitive attitude after a tournament, and maintaining victor’s mindset. “When you come back it’s gonna hurt, and you have to push through that pain,” he said.

The campaign, launched weeks after Alyssa’s diagnosis on Aug. 26, remains very active these days. The fifth-grade class began a fundraiser, selling $20 T-shirts and $30 hooded sweatshirts – emblazoned with the campaign’s motto – with the proceeds helping to defray medical costs for the SeaTac family.

Alyssa, who just spent some time meeting a touring clown, later asked Newby if she wanted a delicious brownie. “Why, sure,” Newby replied.
Alyssa then carefully held out her concealed hand and gently placed a brown letter “E” in Newby’s palm. Alyssa then giggled. “She’s so positive, so silly,” Newby said. “She’s teaching everyone about courage and tenacity. She doesn’t give up. She’s a very loving, kind-hearted kid. She’s remarkable and fierce.” Support from the school and the community has been humbling, touching for the Zolls. “It’s been absolutely overwhelming, all the people who have come forward,” Michella said. “We definitely realize how blessed
we are. Our community has blessed us. We have a coffee shop in our neighborhood that has done fundraisers for us. “The school is constantly checking on Alyssa and seeing if she’s OK. They send little notes on a weekly basis from school. Her friends do,” she said. “When we visit school, they are so overwhelmingly excited to see her. They bring her right in. They always have little presents for her. They’ve been amazing. Her classmates are just awesome.”

Genealogy center now open in Kent BY MARK KLAAS
Genealogists enjoy a good history puzzle and welcome the research necessary to help uncover the past. They like the challenge, the pursuit to solve a mystery about family ancestry. “Genealogy to me was rediscovering the roots that I know nothing about,” said Kent’s Winona Laird, a professional genealogist who has been interested in the study of family history for more than 60 years. “Genealogy is important to us, and it’s been a dream for both of ours for a long time.” Laird and Janet Camarata founded and recently opened the Genealogy Training Center LLC in Kent, offering classes with the support of a computer lab. Both specialize in teaching and lecturing on the subject to students, young and old.
RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES
Now open: Janet Camarata, left, and Winona Laird operate a genealogy center in the local chapter of IBEW. MARK KLAAS,
We’re open
mklaas@kentreporter.com
• Business: Genealogy Training Center LLC • Location: IBEW Local #46, 19802 62nd Ave. S., Kent. The union sponsors and donates the computer lab. • Center: Open for classes and lectures. Students are given the skills, tools, methods and hands-on practice to more confidently research their family’s • Information: Call 253-631-3252 or visit www. genealogyintodaysworld.com
Genealogists use oral interviews, historical records, genetic analysis and other records to obtain information about a family and to demonstrate kinship and pedigrees of its members. The results are often displayed in charts or written as narratives.

Kent Reporter
So far, the results have been good as more Kent valley residents tap into the resources, particularly those available online, to trace and document their family’s footsteps. The center combines today’s technology with tomorrow’s knowledge to develop and build a family tree. “I realized very quickly that if I wanted to interest (the future generation) in genealogy, I
needed to do it with a technical bent,” said Camarata, who has researched her family history for more than 25 years. “I’m trying to get the next generation interested by showing the seniors how to build their family stories using technology. “My objective is to teach people how to do digital stories, to use pictures and music and tell the story orally.”
Genealogists are better equipped today to capture family stories, making them technically available while asking those to research, cite sources and document the proof. As Laird and Camarata explain, the purpose of the center is to raise money to open a research library in the Kent Valley. A percentage of the proceeds will go into an account for the library.
PEARSON CHIROPRACTIC hosts a Patient Appreciation Day on Feb. 17. The clinic will give free adjustments to current patients and welcomes new patients.

Airways Brewing Company last week announced expansion and remodel plans for their Beer & Bistro in downtown Kent, 320 W. Harrison St. The second location for Airways Brewing opened on Nov. 1, 2011, and continues to draw craft beer lovers, earning the Best Economic Engine Award from the Kent Downtown Partnership in 2013. “The bistro was something different for us and we didn’t know quite know what to expect,” said Alex Dittmar, founder and head brewer at Airways Brewing Company. “We took our already strong brand and built a solid reputation for quality. Thanks to our fantastic customers, we’ve decided to grow in downtown Kent and I think people are going to love what we have planned.” The expanded restaurant will bring seating capacity from 35 to 150 seats. The additional space will include a family friendly seating area, while the space will be remodeled and remain 21 and over. A 3,000-square-foot patio
will be transformed into a gated garden space for outdoor music and entertainment, and year-round use thanks to fire pit tables and retractable awnings. A dilapidated kiosk out front will be stripped and rebuilt to house a grill and smoker as well as potential bar seating. “We’re very excited about what these changes mean for our company, and the team that has helped build it,” said co-owner Dione Dittmar. “We also feel that our expansion fits in well with the City of Kent’s longterm plans for the area, as well as demand from Kent residents for more restaurants and retail in the heart of downtown.” Construction is planned in two phases, starting in the next few weeks to make sure the outdoor area is ready for summer. The indoor construction is planned to start this summer. Airways Brewing Company is working with Raven Commercial Real Estate as the developer of this property.

It’s time to take in the show gardens, by Joe How to grow orchids
MB: What type of fertilizer do you use? Joe: Mostly anything I can get my hands on – but I dilute every fertilizer because you can harm an orchid plant by feeding it too much. I put 1/8 or Ÿ of a teaspoon of liquid plant
food into a gallon watering can to fertilize. MB: So growing orchids is your full time job? Joe: Yes, I love it. I also speak to garden clubs and other groups about orchid growing and encourage [ more BINETTI page 17 ]
THE GARDENER
MB: I know orchids are super easy for you to grow, but what type of orchid would you recommend for a beginning grower or to someone who has had no luck with houseplants? Joe: The phalaenopsis or butterfly orchid is the easiest to grow in our climate and they are really low maintenance plants. Just buy a phalaenopsis orchid plant with buds or just beginning to bloom and place it in filtered light. Water once a week and enjoy. MB: What if you want to try something more exotic? Are any unusual orchids easy to grow? Joe: I like to suggest the Brassia orchids to those that want really amazing colors like brown, orange or green flowers. This group of orchids are aggressive growers and heavy bloomers – and almost as easy to grow as the phalaenopsis. MB: What are the most common mistakes that beginners make when growing orchids? Joe: They water too much and put the plants in a sunny window. Orchids like filtered sunlight and they grow on the trunks of trees in the wild. They need perfect drainage and little water. MB: So do you recommend the ice cube trick? Placing two ice cubes on top of the orchid’s roots every Sunday? Joe: If portioning out the water supply by using ice cubes instead of a watering can works for you than use it. Orchids do like cooler night temps especially to get them to rebloom, but the tropical orchids we sell and display have never met an ice cube in their natural habitat – I just set my
potted orchids in the sink once a week, water, let them drain in the sink then place the plants back near filtered sunlight. I’ll give them more water in the summer or if they are really growing fast. Don’t let your orchid’s roots sit in drainage water.
Northwest Flower and Garden Show on Feb. 7-9, Washington State Convention Center, 800 Convention Place, Seattle. She will be available for free consultations at the Cascade Water Alliance booth from 2 to 4 p.m. Friday. You are welcome to bring photos of your yard for design advice.
Marianne Binetti
The first week of February may still be gray outdoors but inside at the Northwest Flower and Garden Show there is a rainbow of orchids offering tropical delights. This year the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle has acres of blooming display gardens that will jump start your spring fever with flowers, fragrance and artistic art forms of all types. But if you want to get up close and personal or take some macro-shots digital shots of incredible beauty featuring easy-to-grow houseplant – well don’t miss the walkthrough display garden, Fifty Shades of Orchid. The Northwest Orchid society and garden creators Joe Grienauer and Jeff Morgan have designed a giant painter’s palette showing off a rainbow of hues that feature the orchids that naturally flower indoors during the winter months. No wonder the popularity of growing orchids has bloomed over the last decade as new varieties and a much lower price point make this potted houseplant accessible to everyone. “Orchid growing was once the hobby of the very rich – but today anyone can pick out an orchid plant even at the super market and have success keeping that plant in flower for nine months or more,� says Joe Grienauer, co-owner of Emerald City Orchids and a show seminar speaker. If you can’t make it to the NWFG show this weekend or catch Greinauer’s orchid growing seminar at 11:15 a.m. Sunday, then why not eaves drop on the phone conversation I had with Joe about his favorite topic:
