Committee provides solutions for roads Members recommend voter bond and car tab fees for improvements

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

Principal Wade Barringer expects the new Kent-Meridian High School gym to “be one of the best gym complexes in the state.”

Crews did not quite get the new gym ready for the start of school Sept.

Figuring out the transportation puzzle in Kent is a long, winding road and very expensive.

A seven-member Transportation Master CITY OF Plan Committee has tackled the problem and come up with some potential solutions, including prioritizing projects and funding through a bond and car tabs.

The committee’s recommendations for coming up with $103 million for the six-year transportation improvement plan is a 20-year voter approved bond

Lopez center seeks community help

BY STEVE HUNTER

shunter@kentreporter.com

The financial challenges continue for the Lucy Lopez Community Center in Kent.

Roberto Gonzalez and Raul Ramos, co-founders of the center, hope to get help from the community at a fund-raising dinner from 5-9 p.m. Friday, Sept.

16 at the ShoWare Center. Tickets are $50 for the dinner that will be provided by the arena’s food and beverage service.

Ramos said Sept. 16 was picked for the dinner because it’s Mexican Independence Day, when Mexico

celebrates its freedom from Spanish rule.

“It’s a way to give us additional operating funds,” Ramos said about the dinner. “It’s one of our many efforts to raise funds.”

The center opened in 2008 in a converted home at the southwest corner of Washington Avenue and James Street. The center is a nonprofit cultural and education facility set up to serve a growing Hispanic population as well others in the city through English classes, citizenship classes and other services.

But officials closed the center in June because of a lack of funds. The center plans to reopen Sept. 19.

Ramos and other volunteers are working to redo the center’s floors, heating system and Internet. They also plan to paint the outside of the facility.

“We are mounting fundraisers through corporate sponsorships and trying to seek grants,” said Ramos, who has talked to several companies about helping to fund the center.

Teens and Technology

A NEW VIRTUAL REALITY

BY KRIS HILL khill@covingtonreporter.com

Editor’s Note: This is the second part of a three part series examining the impact of technology ranging from cell phones to Facebook and Twitter to laptops in schools on today’s teenagers.

M

uch like the playground bully that generation after generation of children have endured, young people today endure cyberbullying in silence, not knowing how to deal with it or what to do when they see someone else victimized.

Kids and parents alike need to understand how to use cell phones, instant messaging, social media sites and other technology tools as well as understand the power of words on a screen.

There are many things adults and teens can do to prevent online bullying.

There are also appropriate

ways to deal with cyberbullying when it happens.

Young people also need to understand the impact of what they post, how to interact with each other as well as the adults they’re friends with or follow.

It’s a new reality in cyberspace.

MORE THAN WORDS ON A SCREEN Kentwood High senior Madison Belmondo is not one to stand by and watch online drama.

Belmondo has seen her friends on Facebook post things about other people that she thought was out of line.

She’s seen other people post comments that were wrong.

“A friend of mine posted something about another one of my friends that was extremely rude,” Belmondo said. “It was just over the top. I didn’t say anything.

But, I was appalled.”

In her time on Facebook

she’s seen a number of concept that the kids have things she wanted to report of not narcing each other but didn’t. out that has gotten to the Still, there have been point where kids won’t even times where it was intoleracknowledge to their parable. ents or family they’re being “It’s really hard because bullied or people are postyou’re scared people are ing rude and crude things going to find out it’s you, about them,” Kush said. but, on Facebook there’s a “They’re going through link you can click that says the emotional trauma that ‘Report Spam,’” she said. creates. A lot of parents are “I’ve done that twice and it ambivalent about what’s was so nerve wracking. I’ve going on. Sometimes to seen it 20 times where I’ve them the silver bullet is I’m wanted to do it.

Cyberbullying and a lack of virtual etiquette are challenges for youth another family member, a coach, someone.

“Isolation is the tool that bullies and stalkers depend on,” Kush said. “If there is anything we can do to get the message across that this is a common thing and isolation is something bullies and predators and stalkers try to use against you, so, don’t let them have that victory. Seek out an adult you can trust.”

Jason and Kelli Krafsky, a Maple Valley couple who are experts on social media and relationships, wrote in an email interview “if your kid is on Facebook, you’re on Facebook.”

“The number one question people asked when the news stories hit about the kids cyber bullying other kids was ‘Where were the parents?,’” Jason Krafsky wrote. “Just because Facebook seems too confusing or takes too much time, you are your child’s first line of defense to protect them from outsiders, and in some cases, from themselves.

We’ve heard some parents

say, ‘I don’t have time for Facebook.’ If your teen is on Facebook, you don’t have time not to be on Facebook.

Believe us, the kids whose parents are not on Facebook is very apparent by what they are posting.”

Additionally, Jason Krafsky wrote, parents must have full access to their kids profile as well as have login and password information for their child’s profile.

“This is not for spying purposes,” he wrote. “It is so you can periodically login to their account and view the private messaging and make sure bad things aren’t happening in private.”

Parents should also have regular conversations with their kids about what’s happening on Facebook and off on topics ranging from the latest virus spreading on the social media site to discussing a post made by a friend you have in common.

September 16, 2011 match to Kentlake because [ GYM from page 1]

www.kentreporter.com

The $8.8 million project, approved by voters as part of a Kent School District construction bond levy in 2006, features a renovated main gym, locker rooms, lobby and wrestling room. A new gymnastics room is expected to be ready for the winter season. The original main gym was built in 1951.

School officials had to move a scheduled Tuesday Kent-Meridian volleyball

the gym still wasn’t ready for occupation. Kent-Meridian was scheduled to host Kentwood in a match Thursday at the gym.

Because of construction, Kent-Meridian played volleyball and basketball games last year at Mill Creek Middle School.

Barringer said the school is waiting for the final electrical wiring by the contractor and inspections by the Kent Fire Department before the

gym can be used by physical education classes. Exceptions were made for the Thursday volleyball match and grand opening on Wednesday because the school had a firefighter on call at the events.

“We expect to have full occupancy by Monday (Sept.

19),” Barringer said.

The new lobby features 30-foot high floor to ceiling windows as well as large trophy cases and a built-in concession stand.

The main gym features a

new, much-larger K-M logo in the middle of the court, a new scoreboard and public address system as well as new graphics on the ends of the court that read “Home of the Kent-Meridian Royals.”

A mural of a large Lions head, painted by Meridian Middle School art teacher Tom Bogle, to represent the mascot of the Royals will decorate a gym wall. Bogle also did the mural on the front of the school.

The main gym will seat

more than 2,000, the same size as the old gym. Crews replaced the bleachers on the main floor while the upper bleachers were still in good shape and remain. The gym will feature a new scoreboard.

Locker rooms were totally gutted and replaced and are larger with more room for students and coaches.

Crews increased the size of the wrestling room and raised the ceiling. A new gymnastics room will give

gymnasts their own place to practice.

Jones and Roberts Co. of Olympia constructed the new complex.

Kent-Meridian could end up hosting more South Puget Sound League and West Central District tournaments because of the improvements, Barringer said.

Community members took tours at the grand opening to check out the new gym complex.

[ ROADS from page 1]

noted the current method of funding with transportation impact fees is inadequate.

The impact fees would be eliminated if the bond passes.

The recommendation is for the bond and car tab fee to be placed on the ballot in the spring of 2012.

Councilwoman Debbie Raplee, chair of the Public Works Committee, said she put out a call for citizens to

join a committee to “look at tions to the Public Works the entire (transportation) Committee Sept. 6. package” for the city.

Miller said the goal of The group memthe group was to “come bers included Mike up with a realistic Miller, Tom Sharp, transportation plan ROAD AND Ken Sharp, Doug taking into account Sharnhorst, Morgan the constraints of the Llewellyn, Brad Bell economy and federal and Gwen Allen. They and state funding.” worked from June to The members reviewed September and presented the the transportation master findings and recommendaplan for the city, the six-year

transportation improvement projects, prioritized projects and reviewed funding options.

“This turned out to be darn good committee,” Raplee said. “Sometimes a fresh pair of eyes really helps.”

Miller said one of the issues they found was three railroad grade crossing projects were very expensive.

The transportation committee recommended using the city’s resources to pay for numerous intersection improvements and roadwidening projects inside the city.

Raplee said the recommendations make sense because 10 to 15 years ago the issue for the area was moving freight, but now the top concern is moving traffic.

The group emphasized projects that would benefit the city rather than the region.

Some of the recommendations include lane improvements on West Smith Street and Central Avenue North, adding dual turn lanes to Southeast 208th Street and state Route 515, dual turn lanes on Kent Kangley Road and Southeast 132nd Street.

Raplee said the next step is for the Public Works Committee to consider the recommendations before it is presented to the full council.

[ TEENS from page 3]

Diane Fox, assistant principal at Tahoma High, has plenty of advice for her students when it comes to Facebook.

She urges them to avoid using obscenities on Facebook and with her own kids they must be friends with her on the social media site because it’s “non-negotiable.”

“I have cautioned students to put your Facebook under complete lockdown, hide your friends list and allow your parents to be your friend,” Fox said. “Kids don’t like that which means you have something to hide. That’s an important rule so when you have inappropriate activity you can go, ‘Hey my mom is my friend.’ It kind of establishes a boundary.”

Fox also encourages teens to “defriend, defriend, defriend.”

“If someone is mean to you, they shouldn’t have the privilege of seeing your life in cyberspace,” she said.

“And most important, if you see it, say it, call it out, report. If it feels ugly it is. If it seems mean, it is.”

and a $20 car tab fee approved by voters. The $103 million would lead to $26 million in matching grants for a total of $129 million in projects.

The bond would levy 50 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation and would cost a resident with a $300,000 home about $170 per year.

bad happens, it is already a natural topic you talk about,” Jason Krafsky wrote.

Kelli Krafsky added kids don’t need to have 800 friends on Facebook but for many there is status enhancement as a result of the number of friends one has and it becomes an unofficial competition.

“The first thing kids can do to avoid cyber bullying is make sure their Facebook friends are really friends or associations they can trust,” Kelli Krafsky wrote.

“Friending the ‘popular kids’ or the ‘in crowd’ or everyone at school only makes a kid more susceptible for online and real time teasing or worse.”

Finally, she wrote, kids need to be comfortable talking to their parents offline about online issues.

“If a teen suspects any kind of threat or intimidation or bullying, even teasing that makes them uncomfortable, they should share it with a parent,” Kelli Krafsky wrote. “Things can happen quickly on Facebook. The sooner a parent knows what is occurring, the sooner it can be nipped from escalating out of control.”

Man arrested after he rips phone from wall at Kent Police Station shunter@kentreporter.com

Police arrested a man for investigation of thirddegree malicious mischief after he reportedly ripped a phone out of the wall at the Kent Police Station, 220 Fourth Ave. S. The man showed up at the police station at about 12:20 p.m. Sept. 4 to complain about marijuana and smoking devices he claimed officers took from him earlier in the day, according to the police report.

He reportedly started to harass police records clerks and would not leave the lobby. An officer came out to talk to the man. The man told the officer he wanted to use the phone on the lobby wall and had that right as a taxpayer. The officer asked him to leave the lobby because he was creating a disturbance. The man then left.

But about 30 minutes later, the man returned to the lobby and ripped a phone off the wall before running out of the station.

An officer chased him on foot. The man ran across a parking lot and tried to open the outside door at the city’s Centennial Building, but found the door locked because it was a Sunday.

Two officers ordered the man to the ground. He complied and officers handcuffed him and took him to the city jail.

Malicious mischief

Police arrested a man for investigation of thirddegree malicious mischief after he allegedly broke a table while dancing on it at about 9:54 p.m. Sept. 4 at a restaurant in the 1200 block of Central Avenue North.

A witness told officers that the man walked into the restaurant, jumped on

Community briefs NATIONAL NIGHT OUT DREW THOUSANDS IN KENT A total of 106 events in Kent were part of the city’s 28th annual National Night Out. An estimated 18,000 people participated in the Aug. 2 event.

The night included 27 events on the East Hill, 25 in the Valley, 21 on the West Hill and 33 in the Panther Lake area, according to stats recently released by city officials. Panther Lake nearly doubled the 16 events it had in 2010, just a month after the area annexed.

a table and started singing “standing on a table,� according to the police report.

The man then jumped to a second table, and the table broke.

When officers arrived, they saw the man, who was shirtless, walking along Central Avenue near the restaurant. The man told police he was bipolar. He told officers he would go back to the restaurant to apologize.

The man also told police he worked for the FBI and that he wanted to talk to a defense attorney. As officers took him to jail, he rapped in the patrol car about “hookers� and “dope.�

This week’s‌

Police Blotter argument over personal belongings Sept. 5 at a home in the 27200 block of 120th Avenue Southeast.

The wife had moved out of the home several months ago and returned to recover personal items, according to the police report.

The two argued about what belonged to whom.

Officers initially left the scene after the husband said he would wait at a neighbor’s house until his wife left.

But the wife called 911 about 30 minutes later to report she thought her nose had been broken.

A witness told officers the he saw the couple yelling at each other and that the woman slammed the car’s back hatch door on the

items from the grocery and health and beauty departments and failed to pay for them, according to the police report.

The women worked together and would reportedly place items in a cart and later remove some of the items and put them into their purses. They paid for items that were still in the cart but not for items placed in their purses. The items taken totaled about $155.

One woman told officers she had no intent to steal but realized she didn’t have enough money so she figured she would just take the items. Another woman said she recently lost her job and figured it was a big store and the store had enough money.

The three were cited and released. They also were trespassed from entering the store for the next 100 years.

The husband told police he went to the vehicle after he saw his wife place a lockbox in the back. He said he went to retrieve his birth certificate out of the box when she returned to the vehicle, started to yell and slammed the door on him.

Officers noted that the woman did not have any injury to her nose. She claimed her husband swung an elbow at her. She denied she slammed the car door on him and called her husband a “liar.�

Question of the week:

Every once in a while I get the crazy idea it would be fun to be a political consultant — until the political season starts and I see the frenzy on the faces of the candidates and their helpers.

At least in print you have an opportunity to defend yourself. A whisper campaign is dangerous and sometimes deadly.

They finally reconnected through her mother in Albany, with each calling upstate because it was easier than trying to get to each other in the city.

He also left me with the image that jumped out the most: As he and his wife, finally reunited, were on a train headed back to the Capital District (about three hours north of the city), he said everyone was transfixed on the city receding behind them and the giant plume of smoke rising out of Manhattan that could be seen well into the Catskills.

The next day, Wednesday, Sept. 12, I stopped over at the local newsstand/magainze shop at one of the strip malls to buy a couple of papers and discovered everyone had the exact same idea: They were completely sold out of everything, including the Investor’s Business Daily, which the clerk said they

never sold.

A truck with more NYC papers was expected within 20 minutes, however, and I asked to wait. As I was there, a line began to form behind me with everyone wanting copies of the newspapers of the day to commemorate the event.

I remember calling my ad rep back at the office and asking her to bring my notebook so I could do a story and I just walked down the line asking people why they wanted newspapers.

To a person, everyone told me that they wanted something they could pass down and that television video tapes don’t do justice to an event the way a newspaper could.

But the big local news of the day came over the police scanner when a gas station in the town just north of mine called to report two “Arab-looking guys� driving a Ryder truck and filling every container they could – soda bottles, gas cans, milk cartons – with diesel fuel and asking for directions to the city without taking the highways.

these guys and was there when they crossed into Clifton Park and what seemed like every cop in the county – sheriff, trooper and local – surrounded the vehicle, pulled the guys out at gun point and searched the vehicle.

I turned the story over to the daily reporter who chased them down from the north, but I got the photo credit that day. I remember it vividly — two guys on the ground with a dozen guns pointed at them.

As it turned out, they were a couple of Hispanic guys taking leftover supplies from the Saratoga Racetrack to Belmont Park into the city. They figured traffic would be bad, worse on the highways, and they should get some extra fuel.

So there it was, our little community paper ran three localized stories and a related news story that week.

The photo on the front was an AP image of New Yorkers fleeing the collapse in terror.

I vividly remember the picture to this day.

It is of one of the moments that even watching now, 10 years later, makes

it difficult for me. I can handle the explosions. I can handle the fires. I can even handle the collapse.

But the jumpers and especially seeing my fellow New Yorkers — my fellow Americans — screaming in horror and fear takes me from sadness to blinding rage every time.

It still amazes me how a full decade later, as I watched a minimal amount of the coverage and remembrances this weekend, how the same emotions still come flooding back.

I remember the fear and the anger, but next I remember the pride and the unity.

I remember the feeling that it was an attack on us all and that we rose up as one to pick up the pieces and move on with life.

It’s what we do, we’re Americans.

There are millions of stories like mine. And thousands that are worse, thousands where the people they love didn’t come home.

I don’t tell my stories often as it is painful, but I

think we must keep telling them, reminding ourselves exactly what it was like that day, reminding people who were too young to remember what life was like on Sept. 11, 2001, and how fast everything can change.

And to remind them and ourselves that life goes on, that America still stands for freedom and that yes, that Star-Spangled banner does yet wave. And that we cannot live in fear.

So stay safe out there, people. Safe, but not afraid.

ground for several years.

My neighbor has the same problem. What is going on?

D.M., Buckley Apparently not much is going on with the sex life of your mock orange. These old-fashioned shrubs bloom with fragrant flowers only when they are mature enough to handle seed production – and that can take many years. There is a mock orange native to western Washington that seems to bloom more reliably. It goes by the name Philadelphus lewisii, named after the Lewis and Clark explorers. Don’t prune a

mock orange or any springblooming shrub in the fall.

Pruning after blooming is the general rule of green thumb. You could try adding a slow release plant food like Osmocote around the base of your mock orange plant and waiting a few more years to see if it will stop with the mocking and start with the blooming.

Or give it one more year to mature then resort to the shovel solution and dig it out. Life is too short to put up with ugly or ungrateful plants.

My hydrangeas were beautiful this summer. How do I dry the blooms? When can I cut them and prune my hydrangea? This shrub is almost as tall as my house!

O.L., Tacoma

Congratulations on your mop heads.

Early autumn is the perfect time to cut big leaf hydrangea blooms for drying. Cut the stem and remove all foliage. Stand each stem into a bottle or shot glass with just one inch of water.

As the water evaporates the hydrangea flower will dry naturally. Keep the dried blooms away from sunlight or they will fade. To prune hydrangeas cut out the old, dead wood and shorten the longest branches in early spring or fall. Most big leaf hydrangeas flower on 2-year-old wood so if you cut back all the branches by more than one third you will be cutting off next year’s flowers. The happiest hydrangeas are those left unpruned. Big leaf hydran-

situations where estimated values come into play.

Certified arborists are often asked to value trees that are involved in disputes, have been damaged by accidents or were intentionally cut or mutilated.

Two methods are used in valuing trees in a landscape situation: a replacement value or a “trunk formula�

method. Timber values may be used in a true forest environment.

If a landscape tree is of replaceable size, a value can be estimated by nurseries that specialize in obtaining and planting appropriate sized trees.

Conifers more than 25 feet tall have been successfully transplanted.

Trunk Formula Method When trees are too large to be replaced, arborists will use a “trunk formula� method whereby a tree’s value is based on its diameter, species, condition and location within a landscape.

To visualize the process, assume a tree in your yard is equivalent to a used car that is compared to a

...HEALTHY LIVING

Too much salt and too little potassium a deadly combo as much choice as they could,� Briss said.

The Dietary Guidelines by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommend a maximum sodium intake of 2,300 milligrams per day and 1,500 milligrams or less for people with known heart disease or hypertension. The participants in the CDC study with the highest sodium intake had about 5,000 milligrams per day; those at the low end had 2,176 milligrams. The USDA recommendation for potassium is 4,700 milligrams a day.

Those in the study who consumed the most had 4,069 milligrams; those who ate the least had about 1,800 milligrams.

Most health experts agree that Americans should cut back on salt, regardless of the amounts of potassium they get.

Potassium may neutralize some of the heartdamagingeffects of salt, but consistently high sodium intake still increases the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke, said. Kuklina. No one should go over the recommended limit of 2,300 milligrams, which roughly equals a teaspoon of salt.

But only one in 10 Americans meets that goal.

Exactly how salt and potassium interact with one another is not yet fully understood.

People should not think they are protected against the effects of high levels of sodium in their food simply by adding more fruits Timi Gustafson

“If sodium increases your blood pressure, potassium decreases it. If sodium retains water, potassium helps you get rid of it. We need to strive to do both – decrease sodium intake and increase potassium intake.� That is why the CDC researchers focused on the sodiumpotassium ratio, hoping to better understand the effects of both nutrients on one another and, subsequently, to shed more light on the causes of cardiovascular disease.

Not everyone agrees with their findings, though. Morton Satin, vice president of science and research for the Salt Institute, a trade association for salt companies, said the CDC report is “highly flawed and reveals more of this dogmatic anti-salt agenda.�

In his view, “the public should ignore this study and focus on eating more salads, vegetables and fruits. If people do that, the sodium will take care of itself.�

Not so, said Dr. Robert Briss, director of the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion at the CDC. He estimates that 90 percent of Americans consume more sodium than they should, which is detrimental for their blood pressure. “Most of that sodium is not related to the salt shaker but is in foods and especially processed and restaurant foods.

Consumers, even motivated ones, don’t have

COMMENTARY

Eating too much salt and too little potassium is not only bad for your health, it may significantly increase the risk of premature death, according to a study by the U.S. Centers for disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

For the study, researchers tracked the eating habits of more than 12,000 people for 15 years. The goal was to better understand the long-term health effects of sodium and potassium intake.

At the outset of the survey, none of the participants followed a low-sodium diet and no one had a history of heart problems or stroke.

By the end, 2,270 had died, including 1,268 from cardiovascular disease. Using death certificates, the research team looked at each cause of death.

Those who died from heart attack typically ate a diet high in sodium and low in potassium, according to Dr. Elena Kuklina, one of the lead scientists involved the study. “These people had a 50 percent increased risk of death from any cause, and about twice the risk of death – or a 200 percent increase – from heart attack,� Kuklina said.

These findings stand in sharp contrast to another recently published report that saw no evidence that reducing salt consumption lowers the risk of heart disease.

Kuklina agrees that eating less salt alone may not make all the difference, but that the amount of potassium in one’s diet also plays a role.

Potassium counteracts the effects of salt, she said.

[12] September 16, 2011 Police have new method for identifying criminals A common practice for a criminal when asked by the police for their name is to use a false one, according to the Washington State Patrol. But it just got easier for police to confirm a suspect’s real identity.

Previously, police officers had to rely on text descriptions of physical characteristics to make a positive identification. New computer capabilities now give police throughout Washington the ability to retrieve driver license photos, according to

a Washington State Patrol media release. Police can use their in-car computer to quickly and efficiently confirm the identity of the people they contact.

A $300,000 grant through the State, Regional and Federal Enterprise Retrieval System project and from the Washington Auto Theft Prevention Authority, also known as WATPA, has made it possible for police officers to quickly confirm an individual’s identity with a copy of a Department of Licensing photo. “The WATPA board members were convinced that providing this new technology to officers in the field

would aid in the preservation of public safety and in the apprehension of offenders including those who engage in auto theft,� said Don Pierce, WATPA chair. “We are extremely pleased with the results of this grant program.�

Lewis County Sheriff’s Office is the first agency in the state to have the ability to view DOL photos through the State Patrol’s A Central Computerized Enforcement Service System, also known as ACCESS. Most law enforcement agencies in Washington will have the capability to view driver license photos by November.

Bill Ptacek, director of the King County Library System, has loved libraries his entire life and helped establish KCLS as the busiest library system in the nation. CHAD GOLDEN, Bellevue Reporter

Passion for libraries

BY NAT LEVY nlevy@bellevuereporter.com

Bill Ptacek has always believed in the power of libraries.

Growing up in Chicago, the long-time director of the King County Library System wanted to make a difference, to disseminate knowledge. Unlike others, he looked past the education field and targeted libraries as a key piece of information sharing.

This passion and confidence in the potential of libraries took Ptacek all over the country, from Chicago to Idaho to Kentucky and finally to the Puget Sound area, where he has helped establish KCLS as the busiest library system in the nation.

"This area's support for libraries is incredible," he said. "People here get it."

Since Ptacek was named the director of the system in 1989, KCLS has expanded from 30 libraries to 46, and the number of employees has quadrupled. In other states, Ptacek said, there is tenor of anti-intellectualism that can sometimes hold libraries back, financially.

In Washington, voters have agreed to tax raises, and annexations of cities into KCLS, an independent taxing district, a number of times. The most recent example occurred in 2010, when voters approved a levy lift for KCLS in the midst of the economic

downturn.

But Ptacek's time hasn't been free of controversy.

He's had run-ins with the library unions over the clustering of branches that forced employees to work at several different libraries. And he's recently been involved in a controversy over a decision to remove security cameras from the facilities over privacy issues when police wanted to use them to investigate a mugging outside a branch.

When Ptacek took over the system in 1989, KCLS had recently won an election for a large bond issue.

A rural system for much of its existence, KCLS now had to keep up with the growth of suburban cities in King County. With the increased popularity, it became difficult to move from place to place, and the need for superior local libraries became clear.

The success of the system has been largely predicated on the ability to look forward. When asked about what he's learned working in different areas of the country, Ptacek said it was so long ago that much of it isn't relevant anymore.

Libraries are ever-changing, evolving systems, he said.

Rather than simply trying to keep up, KCLS has attempted to stay on the cutting edge.

Ptacek said the library is no longer the be-all-end-all for research. So he adjusted to make the library a sort

of community center with a variety of services, including tax help and resources for job hunters.

"The nature of what we do, the kind of information we provide has changed."

Ptacek's work in the libraries fits with his personality, said Jeanne Thorsen, director of the KCLS Foundation. She points to his avid cycling habit as an example. A long-time bicyclist, Ptacek recently joined the Cascade Bicycle Club Board. This passion for whatever he is involved in has served Ptacek. Even now, 22 years in to his time with KCLS, Ptacek works at a library one night a week to get a hands-on feel of how things are going.

"Whenever Bill gets involved in something, he does so with full energy," Thorsen said.

5 THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT KCLS 1. KCLS has never used a card catalog.

2. 25 percent of items checked out by KCLS customers are sent from one of the branch libraries to another.

3. KCLS was one of the first library systems to provide internet access.

4. KCLS circulated 22.4 million items in 2010, enough to make it the busiest system in the country.

5. Last year KCLS received 31 million web hits, and 10,199,150 visits.

Should a landscape tree be cut?

Understanding that trees do have value, a homeowner may view a questionable tree from a different perspective.

Obviously, the answer

depends upon several factors other than its potential landscape value. Safety is a prime concern. Any tree that has a potential manmade target and is in good condition will generally be safe for several years.

A tree that has some defect such as multiple tops, a crook in the trunk or visible decay ideally

should be inspected by a professional. Certified arborists trained in hazard tree assessments are excellent sources for such evaluations.

Do note that it is important that a hazard tree assessment not be unduly influenced by someone who also is interested in selling tree removal services.

Aukeen Courthouse sold to city of Kent The King County-owned Aukeen Courthouse will be sold to the city of Kent for $5.6 million in a deal brokered by King County Executive Dow Constantine and approved unanimously Aug. 29 by the Metropolitan King County Council.

According to a release from the county, the sale allows the city to expand with the cost of remodeling, which was expected to cost about $7 million. “By working as a partner with the city, we found a common-sense solution

that saves taxpayer dollars,�

Constantine said. “Kent can continue to operate at one consolidated municipal justice campus without the need for an expensive expansion project, and King County can make more efficient use of the NormMaleng Regional Justice Center by consolidating court proceedings and improving service to the public at that location.�

Currently, King County owns the Aukeen District Courthouse and leases space to the city of Kent for

its municipal court – but in order for both jurisdictions to continue operations at the site, the city had planned to expand the building at a cost estimated at $7 million. By moving King County District Court’s South Division operations out of the Aukeen building and into the nearby Maleng Regional Justice Center (MRJC) and selling the facility to the city, the city can expand without the additional cost of remodeling. “This sale is a win-win,�

Trial date for Barbee postponed to November

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

The trial date was continued to Nov. 7 for Shacon Fontane Barbee, the Seattle man charged with promoting prostitution, leading organized crime, promoting sexual abuse of a minor and other charges.

Kent Police arrested Barbee, 32, Dec. 3 near a Kent hotel.

Barbee’s trial date was continued at the request of defense attorneys, according to a Sept. 9 email from Ian Goodhew, spokesman for the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.

A trial date had been set for Sept. 19.

Attorneys from either side can ask the court for more time to prepare a case.

Barbee allegedly made at least $192,000 as a pimp during one eight-month period, according to charging papers filed against Barbee in July KENT

by King County prosecutors.

A then 19-year-old prostitute told detectives that she earned about $2,000 per week mainly from working along Pacific Highway South in Kent and Denny Way in Seattle.

She gave all of that money to Barbee.

Barbee pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.

The charges include three counts of promoting commercial sexual abuse of a minor; first-degree promoting prostitution; second-degree promoting prostitution; and leading organized crime.

He also is charged with three counts of first-degree theft in connection with wrongfully obtaining money from the Social Security Administration and one count of tampering with a witness.

Barbee could face up to 15 years in prison if convicted as charged.

Barbee remains in the county jail at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. His bail was set at $500,000.

New technology allows detectives to use palm prints Reporter staff A new technology allows detectives throughout King County to match palm prints to suspects to help solve crimes.

King County’s new generation Automated Fingerprint Identification System, also known as AFIS, is now part of crime-scene investigations.

The new AFIS, a MorphoTrak product, can match suspects through fingerprints and palm prints and is already proving to be a success, according to a King County Sheriff ’s Office media release.

Examiners can now give detectives new suspect names in homicide, rape, and kidnapping cases, among others.

Some cases are from the 1980s and had grown cold for years, with no leads. Now it’s up to detectives to use that information to gather enough evidence so charges can be filed.

“Not every murder investigation contains the possibility of DNA technology” said veteran sheriff ’s office homicide detective Scott Tompkins. “The new Palm AFIS database has allowed us to develop leads in homicide cases that were at a dead end before.”

AFIS works by having a computer compare a fingerprint lifted at a crime scene to a database of over 690,000 sets of fingerprints in the local system. Once a match is made, an examiner manually confirms the “hit.”

But until now, the AFIS computer couldn’t do a search for palm prints left at a crime scene by a suspect. Only prints from the tips of fingers could be used.

So unless there was a known suspect where an examiner could manually compare the palm print to what was in the

Phillip’s court hearing continued for Frankel murder

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

A court hearing has been continued to Oct. 4 to determine a possible trial date for the Oregon man charged with the first-degree murder in May 2010 of Seth Frankel, a Kent city employee.

William L. Phillip Jr., 30, of Portland, is scheduled to return to court Oct. 4, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.

A trial date could be set at the hearing or the case could be continued again until a later date if attorneys want more time to prepare the case. Phillip had his previous hearing on Sept. 6 .

Phillip remains in custody at the county jail at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent

with bail set at $1 million.

He pleaded not guilty March 21 to a first-degree murder charge.

Frankel, 41, was stabbed to death May 21, 2010 in his Auburn home.

Frankel was a video-program coordinator for the city of Kent.

Prosecutors allege that Phillip, a former boyfriend of the woman Frankel dated, drove to Auburn to kill Frankel because he was angry that someone else was dating the woman.

Detectives connected Phillip to the murder through a bloodstained towel found at Frankel’s house as well as cellphone records that put Phillip near the home the night of Frankel’s death.

database, detectives were out of luck.

And suspects would go free.

Now, an examiner can take a fraction of a latent palm print, search it through the new AFIS, and perhaps get a hit on a known palm print. The examiner can now give the suspect name to the detective. And palm prints make up about 30 percent of the prints lifted at a crime scene.

The number of suspect identifications will continue to increase as more palm prints and fingerprints are added to the database. More crimes will be solved through the use

of this new technology, contributing to officer and public safety.

Under administration of the King County Sheriff ’s Office, the AFIS Program serves all law enforcement agencies within the county. The program’s criminal fingerprint technology and operations are funded by a property tax levy, renewed by the voters in 2006 and set to expire in 2012. A proposition to renew the levy will appear on the ballot in 2012.

At the heart of important improvements that nursing homes have made over the past two decades is a movement known as โ culture change.โ Promoted by a coalition of industry, government, and consumer groups known as Advancing Excellence in Americaโ s Nursing Homes, culture change encourages individual-based care over institutional regimentation. Even though many nursing homes have yet to fully adopt culturechange philosophy, its benchmarks can be used to evaluate care. For instance, culture-change nursing homes allow residents to set their own eating, bathing, sleeping, and activity schedules.

They also encourage relationships by assigning the same aides to the same residents. These and many other steps are taken in the belief that persondirected care delivers a higher quality of life.

At PARKSIDE RETIREMENT COMMUNITY, we treat our seniors like family members. We respect the uniqueness of each and every one of our residents, and treat them as individuals. To learn more about us, and how we earned our superior reputation, reach us today at (253) 939-1332. We invite you to visit our unique senior community, conveniently located at 2902 I Street, N.E. We have been locally owned and operated since 1972.

We look forward to meeting you!

P.S. The more a family member visits a loved one at a nursing home, the better able he or she is to assess and direct needed care.

the last 11 years in Kent, first at the South County Journal, which later became the King County Journal. When the Journal was bought out by the Kent Reporter’s parent company, Sound Publishing, and later closed in 2007, I spent four months freelancing for The Seattle Times, but still reporting primarily on South County sports. Shortly thereafter, I was hired by the Covington-Maple Valley Reporter and shifted to the Kent Reporter in 2009.

During those 11 years, I have been able to forge some tremendous relationships with coaches, athletic directors, parents and, most importantly, the kids. The kids have always been what has kept me hooked on this profession.

When I began in 1995, I dreamt of becoming a beat reporter who covered the Seattle Mariners.

During the Journal days, I reached that goal, when I spent many summer nights at Safeco Field.

Kentlake’s Church ‘on point’ in victory over Kentridge Falcons junior Steffin Church overcame the jitters to throw for 203 yards on 8-of-9 passing in the first half

BY ERICK WALKER ewalker@kentreporter.com

Steffin Church felt the jitters more than a day in advance of his varsity debut at quarterback.

Those jitters, however, quickly disappeared for the Kentlake High junior Sept.

9 at French Field.

Church, who was filling in for the ill Caleb Saulo, completed 8 of 9 passes for 203 yards and a touchdown — all in the first 18 minutes of play — sparking the Falcons past Kentridge 3022 in a South Puget Sound

League North Division game. “I always have my jitters,� admitted Church. “I was worrying about it all day long and last night (Thursday).�

Church got the start for Saulo, a second-team all-leaguer a year ago and one of the league’s topreturning quarterbacks.

Church dazzled well into the second quarter, when he was drilled in the ribs by a pair of Kentridge defenders en route to completing a 62-yard bomb to wide re-

ceiver Andre Marticio with 6:02 left in the half. The big completion led to a 30-yard field goal by kicker Mitchell Habryle, which gave the Falcons a 17-16 lead they would not relinquish.

Church’s night, however, was done. “I got hit from both sides,� said Church, who noted after the game that he was just fine. “It was a good hit. (But) I was begging to go back in.�

Saulo, who was sidelined with an illness, was forced into action when Church went down.

Kentlake’s air assault continued as Saulo completed 10 of 18 passes for 141 yards. Church had been rotating as Kentlake’s No. 2 quarterback with Breton Medina during the season’s first two weeks. Called into action, he didn’t disappoint, particularly with his pinpoint accuracy. “That’s what he does well,� said Kentlake coach Chris Paulson.

is more entertaining than the pros. Good or bad, kids are always up for an interview, ready to talk at the drop of a hat and, for the most part, haven’t been trained on what to say. I took that to heart, understanding that sometimes kids said things that didn’t belong in print. I was unable to use some of the most entertaining comments told to me because they undoubtedly would have gotten some young student-athlete in hot water with a teammate, coach or rival school.

During the last 16 years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with many of the finest people in the profession, many right here at the CovingtonMaple Valley and Kent Reporters. I can’t say as I have one single memory that stands out above all else, but I will give you a few locally.

At Kentwood, it’s impossible for me to overlook the memories of all the state championship teams and my many late-night conversations with football coach Rex Norris. Norris, athletic

PREPS ON DECK

Well gang, my time has come.

After 16 years in the journalism industry, a journey that began in La Grande Ore. in 1995, my days as a sports reporter have come to a close.

On Aug. 29, just two months after graduating from City University of Seattle with a Masters in Teaching Special Education degree, I accepted a position at Kent Mountain View Academy, where I will have the opportunity to make a positive impact on today’s youth on a daily basis.

This is an opportunity I have spent the past two years striving to achieve, but also one that has been in the back of my mind for nearly 20 years.

Now that it has finally arrived, I can’t help but leave the business with both excitement and sadness. The excitement stems from being given the opportunity to make a positive impact on today’s youth. The sadness, of course, comes from the fact that this is an end of an era for me. I’ve spent

director Jo Anne Daughtry and the rest of the coaching staff through the years always has gone the extra mile for me, which has been tremendously appreciated. Kentwood has been the dominant school for athletics since I arrived in Kent 11 years ago. I can’t count how many e-mails and phone calls I’ve received through the years from readers asking the same question, “Kentwood coverage? Again?

Did you graduate from Kentwood? Why not more coverage on (insert school here)?�

My answer to them always was simple. I was taught very early on not to miss a championship. Never. It’s one of the first laws of Sports Journalism 101. If a team wins a title, a story needs to be in the paper. Since I arrived in Kent in 2000, Kentwood has won 52 league championships and 12 state titles, which explains the coverage.

The championship, however, that stands out the most came in 2003, when wrestler Brandon Hunter won his second-straight state title. Hunter severely broke an ankle in a December tournament of that year that required several screws and a metal plate. Few believed he was going to be healthy enough to compete in the postseason. Meanwhile, Tahoma’s Michael Johnson burst onto the scene as a sophomore, and quickly became one of the best 145-pounders in the state, ripping through opponent after opponent with ease. In the postseason, Hunter finally was able to compete, but hardly was at full strength. He opted to forfeit against Johnson in the championship match of both the league and the district tournaments, causing a stir on Internet message boards that he was “dodging� his Tahoma counterpart.

Hunter outmuscled the younger Johnson — something no one else came close to doing that season — in the championship match, 16-9.

Many of my memories at Kentridge will surround basketball star Gary Bell, who is now playing at Gonzaga University. I haven’t seen a high school kid with a sweeter shot than Bell, but I think he stood out more for being a class act. Yet, my greatest memory of Kentridge came from 2002, when the Chargers won their first-and-only Class 4A state fastpitch title. Kentridge was coming off an 8-8 campaign from the year before, a season in which the Chargers failed to make the SPSL North playoffs. A year later, they went 25-2 and won the title. However, my greatest memory from that team came from ace Courtney Lacock, who earned the 2-1 championship victory. Lacock, who struck out 51 batters in 30 innings pitched at the state tournament, jumped so high off the ground after the final pitch that I am quite certain that she could have dunked a basketball with her feet.

Kentlake will always stand out in my mind for its three state volleyball crowns (2000, 2001 and 2002) led by Courtney Thompson and a group of stars who committed themselves in middle school to be the best. Thompson might be the finest prep female athlete I’ve seen in my life. Though she’s known most for her volleyball prowess, Thompson was just as good on the fastpitch diamond. During her junior season, she was a first-team all-league shortstop.

During a late-season game, I witnessed Thompson make a diving grab to her left and throwing out a runner from her knees. It was a throw that most of us could not have made standing up. Kentlake’s fastpitch will always be a strong memory for me. The consistency the program has built from coach Mike Larabee to Greg Kaas is unmatched and the number of players the program has advanced to play at college is mind boggling.

My greatest memory of Kent-Meridian came this past spring, when coach Ernie Ammons and the boys track team finally broke through in capturing the Class 4A state title, a moment the program had been building toward for many years. Kent-Meridian faces many challenges that the other three Kent School District schools do not. The ethnically diverse school is located in the middle of more than a dozen apartment complexes and includes a population that is more transient than any other in the district.

Furthermore, the East Hill school has fewer athletes in year-round select programs primarily due to finances.

With that in mind, it has been special watching each of the athletic teams grow by leaps and bounds the past five years, most notably the volleyball team, which coach Michael Christiansen has guided into traditional contenders in a strong league.

My memories of Tahoma will revolve around three coaches: Tony Davis (football), Chris Feist (wrestling) and Russ Hayden (baseball). Davis is a big man and a former NFL player. I always liked to ask him after not seeing him for a while, “Man, did you get bigger?� He always supplied a nice chuckle and responded, “No. I think you may have gotten smaller.� One of the most even-tempered, goodnatured people I have met in the business, Davis also has a fantastic sense of humor. Feist, a former wrestler himself, has the tough-guy look that comes with a tattoo of a star on his elbow. Something tells me the night that tattoo was placed was just a bit painful. Through the years, I was lucky enough to get to know Feist rather well, and I can honestly say there isn’t a coach around who wants to see his athletes excel in the classroom and life more than he does.

Our conversations often began with wrestling, but always turned to the human aspect of those he was imparting his wisdom. Meanwhile, Hayden is a baseball guy through and through, which suited me quite well. A true class act, he has helped turn Tahoma into a virtual baseball factory that churns out college-level talent on an annual basis. Hayden’s teams will do virtually anything for the longtime coach which shows on and off the field.

As for covering the Mariners, I got my shot, and that’s really all I could have ever asked for. I was lucky enough to hang out with Norm Charlton in the team locker room and discuss his comeback after an arm injury for more than two hours. Professionals rarely afford journalists that kind of time, but the well-spoken and well-educated Charlton candidly informed me, “I had nothing better to do.� Then there was the time Bret Boone declined the most basic of questions two consecutive days before finally relenting on the third day with “OK, I’ll answer your questions now.� I will remember Boone most for the space he took up in the locker room. He took up three locker stalls (one for him, another with a nameplate above that read “Boone’s friend� and a third with a nameplate that read “Boone’s friend’s friend� that was scattered with about 100 bats. As for Lou Piniella, I could go on and on about him. Most notably was my first day at Safeco Field, when I was not aware of the protocol as to when journalists were allowed to ask questions regarding feature stories. I made my attempt after a win in 2001 to discuss Charles Gipson, a little-used reserve who was the 25th man on the roster. Piniella, in his office under a cloud of cigarette smoke, responded, “Son, don’t you know? Those questions are meant for before the game.�

I apologized and returned the next day with the same questions, but at a better time.

No doubt, it has been a fun ride.

One I will never forget.

Kentwood Cheerleaders surprised students at Scenic Hill Elementary on Monday with drawstring backpacks filled with brand new schools supplies — there was a backpack on the desk of every student.

The Conqueror cheerleaders have adopted Scenic Hill Elementary for the 20112012 school year.

The cheerleaders participate in community service projects throughout the year and wanted an opportunity in which they could help children for this year’s project.

When the members of Kentwood’s cheer squads learned about the amazing staff and students at Scenic Hill, they quickly realized that their large team of 53 cheerleaders could make a difference.

Scenic Hill has a diverse population with more than 50 languages spoken in their homes. Many of the students are just entering the United States with their first opportunity for a formal education.

To assist these families who are struggling just to cover the basics of food and housing, the cheerleaders went to work to assure that every student would have a fresh start with new school supplies for the new school year.

Conqueror cheerleaders partnered with their little sister team at Mattson Middle

[ KENTLAKE from page 19] ever, weren’t the only ones airing it out on this night in a league that has long been known more for rushing than passing. Kentridge quarterback John Hamilton completed 16 of 29 passes for 160 yards before leaving with a shoulder injury late in the game. Kentridge backup Jahkari Singh filled in admirably, completing 4 of 4 passes for 51 yards in the final minutes, including an 8-yard touchdown strike to Reggie Collins that got the Chargers to within eight points.

Kentridge’s offense is an evolving process, coach Marty Osborn said. “We’re still in progress. We did a lot of good things,� said Osborn, who relinquished his offensive coordinating duties in the offseason to Jeff Shumake. “After two weeks, we have not perfected (the offense).�

Many of the good things happened early Friday night for the Chargers.

Kentlake took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter, when Church connected with star Austin Pernell down the left sideline for a 65yard touchdown. Church uncorked a 40-yard bolt to

Pernell, who cruised the final 25 yards to the end zone. “He came out on point,�

Pernell said of Church.

Pernell finished with six receptions for 153 yards, including the one touchdown.

He also had a 58-yard interception return for a touchdown with 11:10

THOMAS JEFFERSON 24, KENTWOOD 7: Thomas Jefferson proved things have changed in its football program with a 24-7 victory over perennial power Kentwood on Sept.

8 at Federal Way Memorial Stadium.

As far as anybody knows, it was Jefferson’s first-ever football victory over Kentwood. The two teams have been playing each other since Kentwood opened its doors in 1981. “From what I have heard, nobody can remember it ever happening before,� said TJ head coach Dean Peck.

After playing a scoreless second quarter, Jefferson’s senior quarterback, K.W. Williams, got TJ on the board with a 1-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter.

It was the first of three

School and both worked with their respective student bodies as well as local businesses to gather nearly10,000 items to benefit every one of the 604 children of Scenic Hill Elementary.

Scenic Hill had also gathered some donations from another source and the donations are still coming in to help aid the students in overcoming obstacles to have a successful year.

Kentwood cheerleaders were also busy during the summer break with other projects.

They volunteered at the Special Olympics as well as the Rock & Roll Marathon which benefits the American Cancer Society. Duties at the marathon included staffing the starting line, water stations and registration.

Proceeds earned from this event were used to purchase new drawstring backpacks for every student at Scenic Hill Elementary.

The cheerleaders will continue to work with Scenic Hill throughout the year by offering tutoring and homework help, supporting their math and literacy projects with flash card and book drives, adopting students during testing windows, offering teacher assistance and more.

The Kentwood cheerleaders, coached by Kim Kawachi and Tyler Janes, will also host their second annual Breast Cancer Awareness night at the varsity football game on Oct. 7 as the Kentwood Conquerors take on the Kentlake Falcons at French Field. Proceeds from this event will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation of Puget Sound.

touchdown runs by Williams during the game. He finished with 167 yards rushing and also had an interception on the defensive side of the ball for the Raiders. “K.W. is now a three-year starter, so experience means a lot,� Peck said. “He is an incredible athlete that finds ways to make things happen. Not only that, he is a great all-around person. He is vital to our success.�

The Jefferson defensive front, anchored by Jefferson Aumua, Tim Luafatasaga, Ian Tougher and Gunner Sonnenfeld, dominated the usually po-

tent Kentwood run game holding the Conks to 87 yards rushing and 3-of-17 passing.

The second half was all Jefferson and Williams.

Kicker McKay Owsley connected on a 37-yard field goal to put the Raiders up for good 10-7. Williams added two fourthquarter touchdown runs, including a 23-yarder.

Kaas steps down from Kentlake fastpitch

BY KRIS HILL khill@covingtonreporter.com

K

entlake High fastpitch has a motto: Tradition doesn’t graduate.

Nor does that winning tradition change when the team’s long time coach resigns.

Shortly before school started earlier this month Greg Kaas stepped down as head coach of the Kentlake fastpitch program.

“It’s bittersweet,” Kaas said in a phone interview Monday. “I don’t look at it as leaving here. I look at it as a chapter of my life.”

During his career Kaas has coached 34 seasons of fastpitch from seventh grade to varsity. He’s coached at both Cedar Heights and Mattson middle schools as well as Kentwood and Kentlake.

Though it was not an easy decision, Kaas said, he decided it was time to step away.

“I’ve been thinking about this for a year and a half,” he said. “I have high expectations of my kids, the coaches and myself.

“What he provided his kids was authentic,” Milligan said. “You would roll into Kentlake and you knew what to expect. You knew what was coming. You knew there was a lot of time invested on his part as a coach... whether it was at Cedar Heights or at Kentlake.”

Kaas has also had a number of players go on to play college ball.

He took over when the program’s first coach, Mike Larabee, left for a college coaching job at the end of the 2001 season.

And though he’s leaving, Kaas is confident the Falcons will continue to contend because at Kentlake, tradition doesn’t graduate, which isn’t just about what happens on the field but off it, as well.
