Kent fails in bid to land FAA offices Des Moines to house regional facility

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

It turned out to be a bad news day on Wednesday for the city of Kent when Des Moines received the lease to land the new Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Northwest Mountain Region offices.

“Of course I’m disappointed,” Kent Mayor Suzette Cooke said in a prepared statement. “The opportunity to bring such a high-caliber, stable employer to our city would have been a game changer for our local economy.” The U.S. General Services Administration [ more FAA page 4 ]

College proposes program cuts BY HEIDI SANDERS hsanders@kentreporter.com

Facing at least a $1.8 million budget deficit next year, the Green River College Board of Trustees may eliminate four programs to save money. College officials cited low enrollment in the auto body technology and geographic information systems programs and the cost of running the parent-child education and carpentry programs as reasons for the potential cuts.

But members of the college’s faculty union, United Faculty, said they think the college is unfairly targeting the programs. Eight employees, including full-time and adjunct faculty, could lose their positions if the programs are cut, said Marshall Sampson, vice president of Human Resources and Legal Affairs for the college. Key figures in the faculty union head up three of the endangered programs. [ more COLLEGE page 13 ]

City parks facilities slowly falling apart Only so much money to go around to make repairs

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

Numerous amenities at Kent city parks are slowly but surely starting to fall apart. Without enough money in the Parks Department to make

all of the repairs, city staff compiled a list of potential facilities that could be closed this year. The city closed the boardwalk at Lake Fenwick Park in January after shutting down a small fishing dock at the park

last year. More closures are soon to come, from the Earthworks Park amphitheater to three tennis courts at Garrison Creek Park. [ more PARKS page 4 ]

The staggering numbers are in for the first year of Kent’s traffic camera program to catch speeders in school zones. Kent Police issued 8,417 citations worth fines of $1.47 million in 2014 from cameras at Sunrise and Neely-O’Brien elementary schools, according to city reports. The city collected $927,543 in revenue last year from those fines.

Tickets cost $124 for drivers 1 to 9 mph over the 20 mph limit and $248 for drivers 9 mph or more over. The cameras operate for 30 minutes in the morning before school and 30 minutes in the afternoon after school. [ more CAMERAS page 5 ]

Schoolteacher’s book helps children with a parent in prison BY HEIDI SANDERS hsanders@kentreporter.com

Mari Borrero and her husband, Aaron, are trying to make the best of a diffi-

cult situation while helping others in similar circumstances. Aaron Borrero is serving a 23-year prison sentence at Cedar Creek Correc-

tions Facility, southwest of Olympia, in connection with a 1997 kidnapping and attempted murder. Mari Borrero, a bilingual kindergarten teacher

at Kent’s Carriage Crest Elementary School, recently wrote a book to help children who have a parent in prison. “After encountering a situation where a student’s

parent was incarcerated and she didn’t understand why, I shared that with my husband and I expressed the lack of books on this topic in order to help her. He told me, ‘Well, do something about it,’ ‌ and it was there in that moment I knew we could do this together,â€? Mari Borrero said. The book, “Daddy Has a New Home, not a New Heartâ€? (Tate Publishing & Enterprises, LLC), chronicles a young boy named Alex who does not understand why his father is not ready for his Saturday baseball game. Because his dad’s absence is unusual, Alex sets out to find out where he is. As he looks for his dad, he finds his grandma instead. What follows is an intense conversation with his grandmother about his father, the choices and actions his father has made, and their family’s situation. Borrero said the book does not say that Alex’s father is in prison. She said she wanted to leave it vague so that the book could be applied to other situations where one parent is not in the picture, such as separation or divorce. “Parents make choices every day that affect the

family team,â€? Borrero said. “Sometimes those are bad choices but you are not defined by that. ‌ I didn’t want (the book) to be just about prison. The lesson is that we need to teach kids that every choice they make, the smallest ones and the biggest ones, all have consequences.â€? Borrero is working on a second book, which is about Alex preparing to visit his father in prison. She also hopes to write a third book to address reintegration and reconciliation after the parent is released from prison. As a parent with an incarcerated spouse, Borrero [ more BOOK page 3 ]

[ BOOK from page 2 ] saw firsthand the lack of resources available to help school-age children and preteens in this situation. She said Sesame Street has created material for younger children with a parent in prison. Borrero and her husband have six children between them. Her youngest children are 7 and 8. Borrero’s children played a big role in shaping the book. “It is predominately what he (Borrero’s 8-year-old son) has gone through and what we are still teaching him,” she said. Borrero said she is working with the Department of Corrections to get the

books in the visiting areas of corrections facilities. The book can be purchased from Borrero’s website, www.aaronandmari. com, and buyers have the option to donate a copy of the book to a corrections facility. Borrero has set up an account, www.gofundme.com/ borrero, to raise money to translate the book to Spanish and other languages. Mari Borrero, who served in the U.S. Marines and Army, began writing Aaron Borrero in prison while she was living in Texas. She visited him in prison, and the couple was married in 2012. Mari Borrero moved to Kent last June to be closer to her

husband and to work to get him released from prison. Aaron Borrero, a Kentridge High School graduate, has been in prison more than 17 years and is set to be released in June 2017, although Mari

City leaders decided it’s time to form a volunteer task force to help figure out how to keep Kent financially sustainable. People interested in serving on the 15-member Financial Sustainability Task Force can apply to the city by 5 p.m. on Friday, May 15 at KentWA.gov/FSTF. The City Council on April 21 approved the formation of the group to provide detailed recommendations to the mayor and council about the city’s needs and the community’s priorities as far as what services should be funded and how to pay for them. “I want to say how important this effort is,” Councilman Dennis Higgins said at the council meeting. “As we alluded to in the discussion about (revenue from) the B&O tax, we’ve made a great deal of progress. And we’ve made tremendous progress on the debt payments from where we were three or four years ago. “But we’re not there yet. You can see that as you go to our parks, different facilities in the city and the police station. We have work yet to do. We need more ideas not less. I am excited about this task force.” Mayor Suzette Cooke says the city’s service-delivery model dates back to the 1960s and ’70s when the American economy was booming, state sales-tax laws favored warehousing communities like Kent and property tax-limiting initiatives were a couple decades away. “All three of these factors have changed but the city’s service-delivery model has not – this means there’s a new budget shortfall every

Borrero said she hopes he will get out sooner. In 2009, Aaron Borrero was given a unanimous recommendation for clemency but was later denied by then-Gov. Christine Gregoire. He was granted a second unani-

year,” Cooke says. “The city’s share of property tax collections – our largest revenue source – is limited to growth of 1 percent per year. Inflation is 3 percent. This means we could have a status quo budget every year, with no new programs, no new police officers, and still be under water. This is where the structural problem lies. We need the community to weigh in solving this challenge.” Cooke, with consultation by Council President Dana Ralph and two other council members, will pick the task force to include people who will represent the diversity of Kent’s residents and businesses in opinions, cultures and economic status. The membership could include civic leaders, business owners, property owners, financial experts, residents and youth, Cooke says. The task force will evaluate services and revenues in Kent compared to other cities. Other duties include: • Determining the cost to live and operate a business in Kent • Assessing the city’s needs and community’s priorities within available revenue • Determining what the community’s priorities are for elimination of functions and services • Identifying the community’s priorities for new revenue and preferred sources The council discussed the idea of forming the task force at a recent retreat and raised the idea last year during budget deliberations. The council will confirm the appointments of committee members in June. The task force must prepare a draft report by May 1, 2016 for public review and comment.

Something still needs to be done. “We’ve gotten back to the point where we are starting to make headway in a lot of areas but we still haven’t addressed this very fundamental issue of reinvesting in our parks system and making sure it’s going to be there for the next generation like it was for us and our kids,” Higgins said.

School board approves new superintendent’s contract hsanders@kentreporter.com

Calvin J. Watts will start his job as Kent School District superintendent on July 1 and will make $250,000 a year. The Kent School Board unanimously approved the three-year contract at its April 22 meeting. The board agreed in March to hire Watts, who is an assistant superintendent for Gwinnett County Public Schools in Suwanee, Ga., but needed to negotiate a start date and contract. Board president Debbie Straus said she was pleased with the outcome of the negotiations.

“He is absolutely, extremely excited to be here, to work with us, and so it was a very good process,� she said. Watts will also receive up to Watts $20,000 to cover relocation expenses. He is required to live within the Kent School District boundaries as stipulated by the contract. In addition to his salary, Watts will get $850 per month to “defray costs incurred in using his automobile for official travel in-district and within 50 miles (one way) of the administration building.�

[ CAMERAS from page 1 ] Last week, the City Council approved expanding the program to Meridian and Millennium elementary schools starting in the fall.

Arizona-based American Traffic Solutions (ATS), Inc., which has a five-year contract with the city to provide the camera services that include the equipment as well as mailing out tickets, performed a one-day study at five schools with potential to expand the cameras.

January last year, but February numbers are about the same as February last year. It’s too early to give a solid answer. We don’t have enough data.� The difference in the amount of revenue ($927,543 collected by the city in 2014 and the total worth of the citations ($1.47 million) has to do with when the city actually counts the citations as revenue. “We book revenue only when citations are paid and cash is received,� said City Finance Director Aaron BeMiller in an email. “Reasons for the difference between the amount of citations issued and revenue received include: individuals are allowed to present any mitigating circumstances to a (Kent Municipal Court) judge, which could have an impact on the amount collected, and others may simply choose to not pay the fine.� Berrios asked Thomas if the city’s police, law and municipal court can handle two more schools. “We met with all of the stakeholders and there is a lot of confidence that each one of the departments could take on two additional schools,� Thomas said.

“As I reviewed closer these numbers (in the ATS study) were from one specific day not over a month or weeks but one day which makes the numbers very significant,� Thomas said at the committee meeting. “If we multiply the numbers out to 20 school days per month that’s a lot of vehicles traveling fast through the school zones.� Thomas emphasized revenue wasn’t the reason the city began using cameras to catch speeders at the request of the Kent School District. “It’s important to note the purpose when we started this program was to improve the safety of our kids,� he said. Councilman Jim Berrios asked Thomas if he had numbers to show whether the cameras are getting the results to slow down drivers. But after just 15 months of the program, Thomas said there isn’t enough information to make accurate comparisons. “There has not been enough time for a legitimate study,� Thomas said. “We have wildly inconsistent numbers.

New leadership needed at college I’m calling attention to the questionable leadership and planning exhibited at Green River College and the taxpayer boondoggle going on there. They are building a beautiful new trades building across the street from the campus, state of the art for the five programs that have been operating since the college opened in the 1960s. It costs $28 million to build this building, and now the president, Eileen Ely, has decided on her own to shut down two of the programs (carpentry and auto body tech), even though the programs have full enrollments and people waiting to get in. Two paint booths worth $100,000 each are delivered and waiting to be installed, as well as new hydraulic lifts and body straightening machines. So less than three months

Bad timing? Legislators up for substantial pay raise State lawmakers are up for a raise in the next two years. It looks like it will be a lot larger than what they’re considering giving thousands of state workers and public school teachers. On May 13, the Washington Citizens’ Commission on Salaries

for Elected Officials is set to vote to give lawmakers an 11 percent raise. That would be more than double the percentage increase that those same legislators are considering for state workers and teachers. Teachers know this and are incensed about it. Some have written the commisJerry Cornfield

COMMENTARY

“Are you in favor of more traffic cameras in school zones?”

Stephan Kinholt

?

Question of the week:

Green River College is losing its focus on our community. The college recently removed “community” from its name. Faculty and staff learned of this decision over winter break from local television news. This past week, President Eileen Ely announced her proposal to eliminate carpentry, auto body, parent-child education and geographic information systems. The faculty responsible for these programs learned of the decision via a letter from Ely, attached to an email from the Office of Human Resources and Legal Affairs. Just like the decision to remove the “community” from the college’s name, this decision to eliminate traditional community college programs came as a complete surprise. And the cold method of delivery left faculty and staff speechless, and some in tears. Ely gave the faculty 30 days to defend their programs, as is required in their contract. The administration’s decision to change the name of the college is final. While I do understand the reasons behind that decision, I opposed it and still do. In an all-campus email this past January, Ely stated, “Although the name is changing, the mission of the college will remain the same.” But her latest decision to terminate traditional community college programs proves to me that she is not being transparent. One of the primary justifications for the name change was that Green River was adding new four-year applied degrees. Much of the momentum lately has been on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) programs. Believe me, I support these programs. As a mathematics teacher, I am the “M” in STEM. But not all students need or want STEM careers. Targeting carpentry, auto body, parent education and geographic information systems is targeting the heart of the community college. I should also mention that the administration

sion urging it to be less generous. And they made their feelings clear when Gov. Jay Inslee spoke at last Saturday’s rally of 5,000 educators and supporters on the steps of the state Capitol. Inslee acknowledged that it has been six years since the state provided a cost-of-living adjustment for teachers. When he pledged to fight to secure a “real COLA” of 4.8

higher education, and the bulk of it goes to turning out more white-collar workers. How much goes to helping people learn marketable skills who aren’t interested in working in an office? Is it too much to ask for a few programs for normal, hard-working people that want a decent life? Several of the students are trying to find a skill set and occupation that will welcome people with a strike or two against them. Should society go out of its way to encourage this kind of effort? Finally, what say are the politicians in Auburn, Kent, Enumclaw and Federal Way having in this decision or the process that made it? They talk endlessly about income inequality, the need to raise wages, and here is a place where the normal person can improve their lot in life by learning hard, incomeearning skills. [ more LETTERS page 7 ]

percent in the next budget, he was briefly drowned out by a chant of “12 percent, 12 percent” – a slightly off reference to the pending doubledigit pay hike for lawmakers. Inslee, by the way, stands to get a 4-percent raise. To be fair, lawmakers aren’t involved in the process of setting their own pay. That’s the role of the commission, an independent panel expected to operate free of political encumbrances. Its members aren’t supposed to be swayed by the salary woes faced [ more CORNFIELD page 7 ]

King County voters approve new emergency radio network King County Executive Dow Constantine thanked King County voters for their 65-percent approval of funding for a new emergency radio network for first responders. “A reliable emergency radio network is the lifeline that keeps all of our communities safe, used thousands of times a day by police, firefighters and medics in every corner of our county,” Constantine said in a county media release about the Tuesday vote. “I want to thank the voters of King County

[ CORNFIELD from page 6 ] by teachers. Nor are they to be affected by knowing the 147 men and women in the Legislature have been held in contempt by the state Supreme Court for violating constitutional dictates for school funding. Commissioners derived their recommendations from a consultant’s analysis using something called the Willis System that tries to put a value to various duties associated with a particular job. In this instance, the consultant calibrated lawmakers’ responsibilities and earnings against those of nonunion state administrators and their wages and concluded lawmakers are underpaid. Their last raise came in 2008. Commissioners in January proposed an 8 percent increase starting Sept. 1 and

for acknowledging the need to replace a dangerously outdated system and ensuring that our first responders have the tools they need to communicate during life-threatening emergencies.” The count on Tuesday showed 162,458 voters in favor of the measure and 87,527 against, according to King County Elections The nine-year, $273 million property tax levy lid lift will raise revenue needed to replace the county’s aging emergency radio system. The levy lid lift will be at a rate of not more than 7 cents per $1,000 of assessed value. The cost would be about $21 per year on a $300,000 home.

another 3 percent on Sept. 1, 2016. This would push pay for 143 lawmakers from $42,106 to $46,839. Leaders of the four caucuses have higher salaries. The Speaker of the House and Senate Majority Leader would make $55,738 while the House and Senate minority leaders would earn $51,288. Lawmakers aren’t the only ones in line for higher salaries. Commissioners are suggesting 4 percent increases for the governor, eight other statewide elected office-holders and every judge from district court up to the Supreme Court. For some jobs, the panel wants to add in a little more such as an extra 8 percent for the state treasurer and 3.5 percent for the chief justice of the Supreme Court. Under the proposal, Inslee would make $173,617 in 2016,

up from $166,891 today, and Chief Justice Barbara Madsen’s earnings would climb from $172,531 to $185,661. All these raises are not set in stone. On May 13, commissioners will hold a final public hearing before adopting a new wage chart for the legislative, executive and judicial branches. It must be filed with the Secretary of State by June 1, and the new salaries would go up Sept. 1. But they can be blocked by referendum. One would need to collect and turn in at least 123,186 valid signatures of registered voters before Sept. 1. If successful, the issue could be on the ballot this fall.

I hope some of them will start asking a few questions about how this decision was made and what needs to be done to reverse it. – Dana Holgate

City needs to lower costs Mayor Suzette Cooke’s statement (“Kent seeks applicants for city’s new Financial Sustainability Task Force”, Kent Reporter website) that a limit on property tax increases of 1 percent per year is the underlying structural problem in the budget process is factually incorrect. Increases in budgetary

payers have more to do with decisions on how to spend tax revenue than actual costs. Which services are offered, and the amounts a city is willing to pay for them can and should be negotiated, based on their worth to the entire community. However, too often “city services” wind up benefiting an elected official’s political career more than the majority of residents. The cost of citysubsidized mass transit is a prime example. Most tax-paying Kent residents travel to their destinations by car. However, not only do they have to subsidize the cost of buses and trains that disrupt their

The programs that are being proposed for elimination are truly community programs. Many of the students who graduate from these programs are hired by

ness and community leaders serve on advisory committees that inform the programs, making sure the curriculum is current and meets local needs. At the very least, the community and these advisory committees should have been consulted before a decision was made to eliminate them. With the 30-day

May 1, 2015 [7] daily lives, they also have to put up with unpainted roads and pray that a piece of a bridge doesn’t fall down. The answer to revenue shortfalls isn’t to increase tax rates on hardworking taxpayers; it’s to find ways to lower costs with better decision-making. In this regard, limits on property tax increases should motivate decision makers not to throw money at projects and purposes that benefit the few at the expense of the many. If the mayor and the City Council can find ways to decrease property taxes, even by just a percent or two, they deserve to be re-elected. They might even deserve a raise. – Lynda Accisano clock ticking, the community is now left with very little time to react. I hope it is not too late.

Man runs into women’s restroom Officers arrested a man for investigation of harassment after he reportedly held a stick in a city parks employee’s face during an incident at about 8:13 p.m. on April 18 at Lake Meridian Park, 14800 S.E. Kent Kangley Road. The employee saw the man enter the women’s restroom at the park and told the man to get out of it, according to the police report. The man then walked toward Kent Kangley Road and threw rocks at about four vehicles, but didn’t hit any of them. As the employee told the man to leave the area, the man picked up a stick and held it in the employee’s face before officers arrived to take the man into custody.

Woman slaps female roommate Police arrested a woman for investigation of fourthdegree assault after she allegedly slapped a female roommate in the face during a dispute at about 11:02 a.m. on April 17 at a house in the 10300 block of Southeast 208th Street. The woman who was slapped reportedly threw the dentures of the other woman across the room as they argued so the woman responded by slapping her in the face, according to the police report. The woman victim said she rents a room in the house occupied by her ex-husband and his adult daughter, who was involved in the dispute. The ex-husband broke up the fight but told police he didn’t know what the two women were arguing about. While talking to officers, the woman said she regretted slapping the other woman. She added she’s been frustrated with the ongoing problems in the house.

Man spits at officers Police arrested a man for investigation of fourthdegree assault after he allegedly spit at two officers during an incident at about 11:26 p.m. on April 17 in the parking lot of an apartment complex in the 10100 block of Southeast 235th Place. A passerby reported seeing a man laying on the ground next to a vehicle, according to the police report. An officer responded to the call and saw the man on the ground. The officer tried to wake him up. The man started to swear at the officer. Police noted the man seemed to be intoxicated or under the influence of drugs. Because of his hostile behavior, officers handcuffed the man. The man then spit at the officers, hitting one of them with spray. Police then put a spit sock on the man before taking him to jail.

Kentridge High senior Jessica Lam’s patience and ability to lob the ball on the tennis court have earned her a reputation in the South Puget Sound League North Division. “She’s feared by opponents,” said coach Vince Howard. “She’s gonna get the ball back. She rarely misses.” Lam recounted a teammate’s story about a tournament Lam was unable to attend. An opponent mistook one of Lam’s teammates for Lam. “She (the opponent) never came to the net, because she knew I was going to lob it over there,” Lam said. Lam, a two-time district qualifier, started playing tennis in seventh grade. “My mom said, ‘You need to exercise. I’m going to put you in this program,’” Lam said. Lam wasn’t very good when she started playing tennis, often hitting the ball outside of the fence, but she was determined to get better.

Bainter highly recommended Bush for the job. “We are very excited to have Mike lead Kentwood now and into the future,” she said. Bush replaces Rex Norris, who compiled a record of 87-30 in 11 years at Kentwood. Norris to take a full-time job with Seattlebased Serevi Rugby.

“Really patience is the key,” she said. “If you get angry on the court you are going to miss shots.… If you play it out with a calm mindset you can win any game. You just have to be chill.” Lam tries to outlast her opponents on the court. “Her matches will often last twice as long,” Howard said. Howard recalled Lam’s sophomore year when she faced then-freshman Kathryn Araki of Kentwood in a subdistrict match. “They had a marathon match,” he said. “It just got to the point where Jessica was wearing her out. It was a landmark match for Jessica.” Both Lam and Howard would like to see Lam qualify for the Class 4A state tournament. Howard said Lam may be paired up with fellow senior Christine Ly as a doubles team for the state tournament. “They make an unusual challenge for their opponents,” Howard said. Where Lam excels in consistency, Ly is more of a power player. Lam, who is the team’s

co-captain, is someone her teammates can look up to, Howard said. “I’m just hoping everyone has fun and doesn’t regret doing the sport,” Lam said. Last, year the Chargers finished third in their division. Kentridge lost to Kentwood Monday, bringing the Chargers’ conference record to 4-2, second behind division-leading Kentwood, with a 6-1 record. Howard hopes the team’s success will carryover to next year, but it will take some rebuilding. There are six seniors who start on the Chargers varsity team. “We are losing a lot of good players,” said Howard, who added there are several good prospects on the junior varsity team. But Kentridge’s tennis program is about more than excelling on the court, the coach said. One graduating senior from each of the girls and boys teams who lettered in tennis is awarded a $500 Bob Armstrong Tennis Scholarship through the Kent Community Foundation each year.

Kentwood athlete wins WIAA award Kentwood High senior Bailey Paladin was named last week along with 11 others as the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) athlete of the week. According to the WIAA, Paladin had two first-place finishes and two second-place finishes at the Oregon relays. He won the 200 meters and the 4x400 meters relay and he finished second in the 100 and the 4x100 relay. As a winner of this award, Paladin will receive a letter of recognition, a WIAA athlete of the week shirt and a certificate.

www.kentreporter.com [ COLLEGE from page 1 ] The union has been in contract negotiations with college administration for more than a year, including mediation over the past few months, after having failed to come to an agreement, said Jaeney Hoene, vice president of United Faculty and English division chair. “There has been lots of tension between United Faculty and administration,� Hoene said. Mark Millbauer, head of the auto body technology program, is the president of United Faculty and one of three members of the negotiations team. Leslie Kessler is another member of the negotiations team and head of the parent-child education program. Glen Martin is carpentry program director and union treasurer. “We don’t find the explanation (for the program cuts) to be very congruent with reality,� Hoene said. “The possibility that these

are targeted seems a bit more likely to many of the faculty.� Allison Friedly, executive director of college relations, said the programs have not been targeted, and it is unfortunate that union leaders are the ones whose programs could be eliminated. “It is completely coincidental that their programs are both outrageously expensive and have low enrollment,� Friedly said. There are 18 full-time student equivalents enrolled in the auto body program, down from more than 30 in spring 2011. Geographic information systems has about 20 full-time student equivalents, down from 25 in 2011. Last spring, there were about 10 fulltime student equivalents. Typically, if the college considers eliminating a program, it goes through a review process, but that is not required in the current circumstances because of the col-

lege’s financial situation, Friedly said. College officials anticipate at least a $1.8 million budget shortfall, but it could be as much as $5.2 million owing to legislative action, including a proposed tuition freeze and changes in how funds are allocated, Friedly said. College enrollment is down, too, she said. “Enrollments are decreasing because the economy is getting better,� she said. Friedly said the college has made extensive cuts on the administrative side, so now instructional programs face reductions. “That is one area that hasn’t received any cutbacks,� she said. Hoene said cutting the carpentry and auto body programs doesn’t make sense when those are two of five programs set to move into a new trades building this fall.

May 1, 2015 [13] Friedly said if those programs are cut, the trades building could be reconfigured to house other programs. “We are not at the point where the interior is complete,� Friedly said.

Faculty can give suggestions Faculty received letters on April 20 outlining the proposed program cuts. Per faculty contract, any time positions could be eliminated, there is a 30-day comment period during which faculty may submit suggestions for saving the programs. College officials are hopeful that faculty can come up with viable suggestions. “We have not found that way on our own with the abilities we have‌â€? Sampson said. “A lot of times faculty members will know how costs can be saved.â€? Any decision to cut programs

would require action by the college’s Board of Trustees. “They are not easy decisions,� Sampson said. “They are not decisions we take lightly.� Board chair Pete Lewis did not want to comment on the issue since it is still going through the administrative process. He said, however, many colleges across the country face similar enrollment declines and financial shortfalls. Lewis referred calls to college President Eileen Ely, who did not respond by press time. “It is important to note that, at this time, no final decision has been made as to program closures,� college officials said in a memo on Monday. “The college is eager to review the proposals brought forward, in order to retain as many programs as possible. However, given the current [ more COLLEGE page 14 ]

[ COLLEGE from page 13 ]

Students upset

financial situation of the college, the proposals will have to result in a savings to the college in order to retain all programs. The college, first and foremost, must be fiscal stewards of state funds and do what will best serve students.� Hoene said the union is concerned that the college may act during the bargaining process. The faculty contract expired last June, but it remains in effect while negotiations for a new contract continue. Hoene said the only part of the contract changed by the expiration is that grievances raised by faculty can no longer go to arbitration. “We don’t have the option to go to arbitration,� she said, “which in this situation, does tip the balance.�

Friedly said she understands how stressful the situation is for students and faculty. “Green River is a campus that thrives on their very rich history,� she said. “When something like this hasn’t happened (in the past), it is very upsetting.� Students have not been officially notified of the potential program cuts, and, until a final decision is made, they won’t be, Friedly said. But many students have learned of the possible cuts through their instructors. Dozens of students, many enrolled in the programs facing elimination, picketed in front of the new trades building on Wednesday, hoping to garner support to save the programs.

Evan Allen, a carpentry student, said the college’s announcement “blindsided all of us students.� “As students, we were really looking forward to using this new building they built for us,� Allen said. Vern Reber, another carpentry student, said cutting the program would be a huge loss. “Everyone is invested in this,� Reber said. “We are here every day. We are participating, and we shouldn’t be snuffed out.� Sara Beth Radical, a student in the auto body program, selected Green River’s program because of the diversity of students and the unique handson opportunities provided to students, despite her daily commute from Bellevue. “To have this cut, is just not

something you can get somewhere else,� Radical said. If programs are eliminated, Green River would help students find ways to continue their education. For example, Friedly said, Green River could continue to offer geographic information systems courses until the students complete the program. If Green River isn’t able to offer the courses, it could find other colleges where students could complete the program, she said. If the programs are cut and the college’s situation changes down the road, the college could consider reinstating the programs. “There is always a possibility that programs could come back in the future,� Friedly said.

Answering your springtime questions Every spring many people ask the first two questions about tomatoes and slugs. The third question is a bit more unusual with a bit of a dark side.

Q.

When can I plant tomatoes? Do they grow better in pots or in the ground? J.T., email

A.

Marianne Binetti

THE GARDENER

Tomatoes are warm season, heatloving plants, which means they suffer if the night time temps are any lower than 45 degrees. This means waiting until June before allowing young tomatoes to suffer outdoors all night in the cold cruel world. You can cheat and set your plants out in early May if you have a warm and protected area such as up against the sunny side of a building and under the cover of a roof overhang or eaves. Growing tomatoes in black plastic pots (they absorb heat) gets them off to a better start in our cool summer climate than growing them in the cold ground but by the end of summer the tomato plants placed directly into the soil may produce a larger harvest as their roots will have more room to spread out and grow.

Q. What can I do about all the slugs in my garden? I also have snails and they eat new seedlings right after the sprout. R., email

A.

Take a three-prong approach to battling slugs and snails and grab a fork while you’re at it. A fork to stab and collect slugs after a rainfall or at night means you can drop them into a bucket of salt or soapy

water. You can also stomp on snails as you lift them from your plants while on nocturnal slug hunts. If you don’t want to go out at night, lay a piece of damp cardboard near seedlings and collect the slugs that gather under the cardboard in the morning. Next, use a pet-safe slug bait such as Worry Free or Sluggo that will cause the slugs to stop eating and slither under a rock to die. You won’t see the slimy mess but you will see the results. Finally, remove slug and snail habitats if possible. Rock piles and chunks of rotting wood and debris are where slugs and snails like to breed and lay eggs.

Q. I love the dramatic color of Black Mondo grass and would like to use more of it but it seems to have a high price tag at area nurseries. Is there a way to plant Black Mondo grass from seed? D.G., Puyallup

A.. Not really. Black Mondo grass or

a good week to perform the surgery. Either lift the clump from the ground and pull it apart or use a sharp spade to make new sections. If you do not divide Black Mondo grass, it will grow slowly but once you cut it apart the new clumps fatten up into fine specimens that you can replant in any partly shaded location.
