Officers responded at about 6:59 p.m. Tuesday to the 20500 block of 108th Avenue Southeast and found the Seattle man on the ground in the parking lot outside of the Great American Casino.

The man was conscious and breathing when found. Kent Fire Department and medical personnel treated the man, who was sta-

A letter sent by four Kent City Council members has created quite a storm around City Hall and violated the state’s open public meetings act.

The letter to the editor was signed by Council President Jamie Perry, council members Elizabeth Albertson, Deborah Ranniger and Debbie Raplee and was written in response to a letter to the editor written by Jim Berrios published in The Kent Reporter Oct. 7 concerning a property-tax dispute that has been roiling through the city for the past months.

Speaker series kicks off at Kentlake

BY KRIS HILL khill@covingtonrepoter.com

E

ric Chudler hopped on one foot, talked to the audience and juggled simultaneously on the stage of the Kentlake High Performing Arts Center.

Chudler, a research associate professor in the bioengineering department at the University of Washington faculty, did that trick to demonstrate the power of the brain. He is the first speaker of a year-long series.

The series, sponsored in partnership by the Kent School District, the University of Washington and the Covington Rotary, came out of conversations Kentlake Principal Joe Potts had with representatives from the university, explained Assistant Principal Ian McFeat.

Jim Tanasse, a Kentlake parent and member of the Covington Rotary, said the speaker series was a result of brainstorming by the school’s administrators.

“Then that led to some conversations with the Covington Rotary, as well, so we just decided to create a lecture series to broaden the intellectual conversation at the school,” McFeat said.

Tanasse said the discussions he had with Potts were initially focused on the efforts to bring a greater range of UW courses to the high school.

“Joe and I had a dialogue about this whole notion of how we make UW happen at Kentlake, the whole notion of keeping students on campus,” Tanasse said. “A lot of the dialogue was… how are we going to make sure all the kids have access to that education process.”

That is where Covington Rotary stepped in to offer some financial as well as moral support. Tanasse found a double matching grant which took the club’s $3,000 and turned it into $9,000, allowing the club to underwrite the cost of UW in the High School courses for kids.

“The speaker series kind of came out of bringing the UW program to Kentlake,” Tanasse said. “The whole

notion is getting kids to see beyond just the learning in the classroom but the practical side of professionals… who are excited about what they do and connecting the dots. That was the big vision.”

The series is part of a broader effort, McFeat said, to raise the academic bar at Kentlake.

“A lot of the subjects and topics encourage students and community members to look at themselves and imagine possibilities and to stretch themselves in a way they hadn’t done before,” McFeat said. “The lectures are meant to inspire kids to think about issues in different ways.”

With that goal in mind, McFeat explained, school administrators looked at areas of cutting edge research happening at UW and “really, there’s some amazing things going on.”

“We were able to contact Dr. Eric Chudler, who has been doing some amazing brain research,” McFeat said. “He’s just gotten a grant for $18 million. He’s the founder and director of Neuroscience for Kids, which is pretty amazing.”

Chudler, who made the audience laugh through a series of interactive exercises to demonstrate how the brain functions, said it is important to give such lectures when asked.

“I feel that as a member of the community, even though I don’t live out here, and as a member of the University of Washington faculty, it’s my obligation to give back to the community,” he said after the lecture.

Chudler tackled a number of topics ranging from the ethics of neuroscience to the size as well as the anatomy and of the brain to myths such as humans only use 90 percent of the brain.

“We know a lot about the brain, but, there’s a lot we don’t know,” he said. “It’s a complete myth that you use only 10 percent of your brain.

You use 100 percent of your brain, just not all at the same time.”

While discussing the size of the human brain, he walked around

Eric Chudler, a research associate professor in bioengineering at the University of Washington, talks about the brain during a lecture at Kentlake. KRIS HILL, The Reporter with a model of an average brain in his hand, pointing to charts that plotted the ratio of the size of the brain compared to the size of the body it resides in.

And the idea that people act weirder during a full moon, Chudler said, is also a myth.

“There’s no correlation between the phase of the moon and abnormal behavior,” he said. “People who believe the full moon effect most are medical personnel and law enforcement... they saw bad things happen and one way they can reduce the stress is to blame it on the moon.”

Among the speakers are a genetic counselor who will talk about the work she does with patients, an oncologist at UW who will discuss the roles of women in medicine and the founders of Foldit, which McFeat said is “amazing that they agreed to come out for this…. that’s really huge.”

“In March we have Dr. Kevin King coming and he’s going to be talking about the adolescent brain and risks and abuse,” McFeat said.

“He’s a dynamic speaker.”

Speakers will offer presentations both at night and during the school day, McFeat said.

“It’s an opportunity to start having in-depth conversations about opportunities in academia and about the world that’s beyond high school and for students to start to see some connections to what they’re doing now,” McFeat said.

“That’s what education is really about, it’s about lifelong learning.

What we’ve put together is something that is going to enhance the rigor… it’s going to expand the types of opportunities students can envision for themselves.”

Tanasse said Covington Rotary is pleased to support such an endeavor.“I’m pumped up about it,” he said. “We’re just honored and happy that we can be part of the solution. This is something that will benefit the teachers and the students and the community, as well.”

Following his lecture, Chudler spent time speaking with students tackling questions about neurological disorders, model of a human brain in hand.

KENT STUDENTS FILL UP SCHOLARSHIP CONFERENCE The Kent School District had a record number of students and families attend a scholarship conference Oct. 15.

Nearly 400 people came to the College Bound event at Green River Community College in Auburn, according to a school district media release.

“The buzz about attending college filled both of the buildings we were using for the conference,” said Randy Nunez, college liaison for the school district. “The event was as much productive as it was inspiring for all.”

College Bound helps prepare public school students for college through tutoring, mentoring and scholarship programs. The conference was created as a vehicle to sign up qualifying middle school students for the program.

There was also a college planning component to the conference for middle and high school students. A parent and guardian panel provided information to parents and families about preparing their children for higher education.

Kent Police cited a woman for investigation of fourth-degree assault after she allegedly threw a juice bottle and a kiwi-sized rock that hit another woman during a dispute about use of a shared laundry room.

The incident happened at about 4:15 p.m. Oct. 18 at a house in the 27000 block of 124th Avenue Southeast.

The woman hit by the objects told officers that the bottle hit her in the forearm as she put her hands up to block her face and that the rock hit her in the chest and caused a small bruise, according to the police report.

The two women live in a house that is divided into separate living units. They share a laundry room. The women have been involved in several disputes, with the latest one over who could use the laundry room and when.

The two have dated for about three years but broke up the night before the alleged attack after having ongoing problems, according to the police report.

The girlfriend told police she returned to the apartment to get her belongings when her boyfriend yelled at her to leave the house, grabbed her elbow and later grabbed her wrist to remove her from the bedroom.

The boyfriend told officers he pays the rent and all of the bills at the apartment and told the woman to get out and go live with her new boyfriend. He said he only tried to escort her out of the bedroom by her elbow.

Prostitution

Police cited a woman for investigation of prostitution loitering after she returned to walking along Pacific Highway South at about 1:09 a.m. Oct. 21 after being told several days earlier by an officer not to return to

Kent.

An officer saw the woman walking across Pacific Highway South at South 260th Street after talking to her seven days earlier, according to the police report.

During the Oct. 14 incident, the officer said he saw a woman who was about 5 feet 8 and 250 pounds wearing a blond wig and walking up and down Pacific Highway South looking at cars as they passed. She made no attempt to enter any business or to use the bus routes.

The woman told the officer she was “working.” The officer thanked her for her honesty and advised her to leave the area.

When police saw the woman again on Oct. 21, she told the officer she thought she was in Federal Way and not Kent. But officers looked up the woman’s record and discovered she had been arrested for prostitution in Kent in June 2010.

City jail records indicated the woman also had been cited Oct. 7 for prostitution loitering.

● QUOTE OF NOTE: “Freedom of expression — in particular, freedom of the press - guarantees popular participation in the decisions and

actions of government, and popular participation is the essence of our democracy.” — Corazon Aquino

Initiatives and referendums Five measures are on the ballot this November, three initiatives and two referendums from the Legislature to the public. Here’s our take:

INITIATIVE 1125 TOLLS AND HIGHWAY TAXES

Craig Groshart Guest Column

OUR CORNER

KENT

OPINION

[6]

Nobody likes tolls and taxes, but if our state is going to have any hope of building highways and moving people it’s going to take both.

Tim Eyman’s initiative would make both nearly impossible. Vote “No” on I-1125.

Eyman wants only the Legislature to be able to set tolls. That sounds good – political accountability and all that – but in reality it would make financing our roads even more expensive. Bonding companies – and bonds are the only real way to build roads – find it overly risky to leave tollsetting to the whims of legislators. As a consequence, they rate such road bonds lower, which means the state has to pay a higher interest rate.

That makes the state have to pay more to finance the road projects. That means fewer roads.

Tolls are a user fee; only those who use such roads pay a toll. That’s the way it should be.

But don’t just take our word on this; transportation experts across the state oppose I-1125. So do business, labor and environmental leaders.

Vote “No” on I-1125.

INITIATIVE 1183 SALE OF BEER, WINE AND HARD LIQUOR There are lots of things a state should do.

Peddling beer, wine and hard liquor isn’t one of them. Vote “Yes” on this initiative.

What, you say, didn’t we already vote “no” on this last year? Yes, but the two measures we had before us last year had flaws. This one is far better.

The state would stop selling spirits and auction off its liquor stores. Additional private liquor stores could open, but only if they meet a size requirement (no, there won’t be liquor for sale at every neighborhood gas station).

Another point: while I-1183 gets the state

● LETTERS YOUR OPINION COUNTS:

Correction

out of the liquor selling business, it continues the state’s enforcement to keep booze out of the hands of our kids. In fact, the initiative doubles the fines for businesses selling alcohol to minors.

Vote “Yes” on I-1183.

INITIATIVE 1163 TRAINING, BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR LONGTERM HEALTH WORKERS This sounds good: shouldn’t long-term care workers have training to serve elderly and disabled people? And shouldn’t we know if they have a shady past? Sure, but the initiative is misleading.

In fact, such training already is required by the state. And background checks already are performed.

What’s really going on is an attempt by the Service Employees International Union to force the state to come up with an estimated $80 million for such programs while it already is facing another $2.8 billion deficit. There’s no reason to gut other programs or raise taxes for such a questionable measure.

Vote “No” on I-1163.

SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION 8205

This measure cleans up language in the state Constitution to make it clear that otherwise-eligible citizens of the United States can vote. here editor addressing my letter submitted to them Oct. 4th.

I would like to respond first by saying that it is a sad day in Kent for local politics. I would also question the legality of their letter as it was signed by four of the seven council members, representing a quorum. However, it was never covered in an open public meeting, in fact it wasn’t even covered with all seven of the council members prior to being sent out to not only the editor, but to all internal city email users.

Again, this was done without the knowledge of all of the City Council members. Could it be that the council members themselves are divided on this issue?

Their letter suggests that I have made false statements in my letter to the City Council. I would like to know specifically which state-

if they have resided in Washington, and in their county and precinct, for at least 30 days before the election.

There’s no organized opposition to the measure.

Vote “Yes” on SJR 8205

SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION 8206 This would require the Legislature to transfer additional moneys to its budget stabilization account in each fiscal biennium in which the state has received “extraordinary revenue growth,” as defined, with certain limitations.

If you’re scratching your head, here’s the bottom line. Remember when the state was booming and the Legislature was spending like there was no tomorrow? We all know that tomorrow eventually came.

SJR 8206 would mandate that some of the “extraordinary” revenue the state receives in good times would be saved, rather than spent. Isn’t that what we do with our household budgets?

The state should, too.

Vote “Yes” on SJR 8206.

The information that I have provided in my letter came from the number of meetings and conversations that I have personally had with the city administration, council members, fire chief and other fire department representatives. One important aspect of my letter was the video link that I had attached from the Sept. 21, 2010 City Council meeting, where council member Ron Harmon clearly addressed the concerns with the over collection of $4.94 million, which was confirmed by the city’s finance director, where he clearly indicated that Harmon’s information was accurate.

I find it interesting that in the letter from the four council members, there is no response to what was said at that meeting. In addition,

[ more LETTERS page 7 ]

In Jim Sullivan’s Letter to the Editor in the Oct. 14 edition titled “Heuschel has experience” the letter stated Mary Alice Heuschel was “named as the No. 11 School District Superintendent in Washington in 2011” and it should have stated she was named No. 1.

October 28, 2011

www.kentreporter.com [ LETTERS from page 6] there was no response or reference to the letter that the Kent City Chamber of Commerce had submitted to the council requesting that the city of Kent reduce all property tax in the city by reducing the city’s levee tax rate equal to the agreed upon $4.94 million. That letter also went on to state; “This effort by the city of Kent council will hopefully repair and restore trust in the governmental process, which has clearly been eroded by their decision in 2011 to sweep the additional revenue into the general fund instead of refunding it to the taxpayers of Kent.”

Why is it that the focus is only on what I had to say?

The letter was submitted to the council after the Chamber had polled its members in a survey where the majority requested to have the money not included in the future budgets. The letter from the four council members suggests that they “want to set the record straight.”

I would like to point out that as a citizen and a business owner in this community “setting the record straight” is exactly what I have been trying to accomplish. That is why I would like to suggest that since the ballots have already been mailed to the registered voters of Kent that the council should call for a public meeting before Nov. 8 to discuss the facts of this issue with its citizens. I would also recommend that we have channel 21 (the local television station) and the Kent Reporter cover this event. The city administration and members of the fire department, chief included, should be present and available for questions. I would recommend that the meeting should open by playing the Sept.

21, 2010 council meeting video, and asking the

question, “What did the city finance director mean when he confirmed that the information presented

by Councilman Harmon was correct?”

How is this for transparency?

Jim Berrios Kent

Questions and concerns However you slice it, the regional fire authority vote, passed by 72 percent of voters in April 2010, did result in a net gain in the city’s general fund. This was always the intention.

I supported the vote both for the future stability of the fire department, and for the benefit to the city’s recession-wracked budget.

On Feb. 16, 2010, the city council endorsed the RFA vote - unanimously.

During city budget discussions in late 2010, council member (Ron) Harmon repeatedly called attention to the additional revenues. Ultimately, the council voted to put these revenues to important uses such as increased street paving and fully staffing the police department. Almost half of the money was put into reserves. This was all done in open meetings with public hearings.

Jim Berrios, my friend with whom I have volunteered alongside at many community events, argues that more attention should have been given to the city budget during the campaign last spring. It is important to note that the issue was never concealed and nothing unethical occurred. Council member (Jamie) Perry stated at least twice on camera during council meetings that this measure would raise taxes.

In public and private conversations I had leading up to the vote, I alerted folks that the total property tax

burden would increase if the RFA passed.

Mr. Berrios has described several people, possibly including me, as telling him the situation was “unethical.” Let me be clear on this: elected officials and all of government must strive to be open, honest and accountable. If legitimate questions, such as Mr. Berrios and other raised this spring, result in denial and finger pointing, that is unacceptable and yes, unethical.

At this point, the question before the council is how we will meet the needs of our residents and businesses, while fairly evaluating the tax burden. I’d like people to understand that a cut of $4.9 million dollars is not possible without taking a hatchet to essential services. At the same time we are having this discussion, many people are contacting the city with concerns over streets, parks and public safety. Our streets are in serious disrepair - do we really want to reduce maintenance from already very low levels? The biggest line item by far in the general fund is the police department - an area I am personally unwilling to cut at this time. These are the issues we will have to decide in the next few weeks.

My door is open - I will always take the time to listen, to study, to prioritize, to look for efficiency, and to explain my thinking, in an effort to improve the city of Kent.

Vote no on Initiative 1183 Why do we need to get the state out of the liquor business? Why does Costco need to get into the business (other than profit)?

Whether this is increasing the number of liquor outlets or simply redistributing the licensing, why is this something that needs to be done?

It’s like selling white elephant repellent.

Apparently, I’m not supposed to be asking or expecting the answers to these questions. Or expecting answers from an unbiased source from either side of the issue. I should just flip the (thinking) off switch and vote yes. I don’t need white elephant repellent and I fail to see what is lost or gained by changing things. I see a yes vote as a vote of ignorance. Costco, you need revenue? Go fish.

I am writing in response to the full page attack ad that Kent City Council candidate Bailey Stober inserted into last Friday’s (Oct. 14) Kent Reporter.

Now of course I have no problem with the fact that the Reporter printed it. I applaud the valuable service that the Reporter provides our community and wish it all the best. But I do have a few thoughts on the ad itself that I would like to share.

First of all, I have been an area resident for quite a few years. I have gotten to know my neighbors, have participated in my neighborhood association, have made it a point to frequent downtown Kent businesses and have done what I can for local community and charity events. But I haven’t had the honor of being an actual resident of the city of Kent until the recent Panther Lake annexation, so I hope that you will forgive me if I haven’t been all that aware of the local political arena.

But this one negative ad that Bailey Stober posted got me interested. Any time a local candidate believes that it is a prudent and adult use of space, time and funding to print a picture of a toilet-paper roll made of money, I begin to smell a rat. And sure enough, with

a little digging I found that every single one of Bailey Stober’s assertions were either half-truths or outright fabrications.

Take the claim that his opponent bought the entire City Council new “I-Pads”.

Getting beyond the fact that the candidate apparently isn’t aware of the spelling of the word “iPad”, the claim is patently untrue. The incumbent did not at any time buy anyone an iPad. The City Council does not have or use iPads. To the best of what I’ve been able to ascertain just asking around, two iPads were purchased as part of a beta test to see if using iPads would cut costs to paper, printing and labor time.

Actually, I have discovered that it was part of a larger sustainability initiative directly related to council strategic goals regarding the environment and fiscal sustainability, and not related to any single council member, which I would hope most people would think of as a good thing.

Looking into Bailey more closely, I find that a great deal of his message seems to be directed negatively towards his opponent: but looking at his actual qualifications, I can kind of see why he needs to go so negative. In comparison, he predictably doesn’t seem to have all that much to offer.

Don’t take my word for it, please. Use Google. Talk to your neighbors. Ask questions. I only write to

the Renton School District has allowed me to work closely with Superintendent Heuschel on a variety of issues and see firsthand her leadership, passion and commitment to our communities. Heuschel understands the crucial link between healthy families and student success in school. In addition to her demonstrated financial integrity, Mary Alice is an award-winning leader, as evidenced by her selection as Superintendent of the Year for the state of Washington in 2011, and someone who will make a positive difference for our community serving on the Valley Medical board.

time. In fact, former superintendent Gary Kohlwes also served on the hospital commission while being a successful superintendent.

Mary Alice is the only candidate with experience managing millions of taxpayer dollars, and the only candidate who has stood up for taxpayers and patients at commission board meetings.

If you look at Mary Alice’s endorsements, and the individuals and groups that have put their trust in her is a testament to her capabilities and qualifications: the nurses of Valley Medical Center, the Renton and Kent Firefighters, local mayors, various doctors and public officials, groups such as the Boeing Aerospace Machinists, the King County Labor Council, the Women’s Political Caucus of Washington State, the Renton Chamber of Commerce, and many more groups, individuals and community leaders in Renton and Kent.

Mary Alice’s opponent is a doctor with a private clinic that is in competition with Valley Medical Center.

It is not for me to say whether his private clinic will affect his ability to serve Valley patients, but a conflict of interest is a concern and should doctors oversee themselves?

Aboltins stayed positive by writing. She created short stories and poems.

“I write whatever is in my heart,” Aboltins said.

Aboltins worked for her mother’s deli and at a culinary school. She met her husband, Reinholds Aboltins, in her early 20s and settled down.

“I wanted to go to college, but in those times, it wasn’t acceptable for women to do that,” Aboltins said.

Her peaceful life was disrupted when World War II began. The Aboltins and their daughter Maija were sent to Germany to stay in a refugee camp.

“We all tried to immerse ourselves in our Latvian heritage through dancing, choir and plays,” Atvars said. “I went to a school at the camp and my mother sang in the choir.”

When the war ended, the family moved to England and then Australia. They lived in a Latvian community in Australia where they practiced their traditions, such as folk dancing.

Aboltins missed Latvia.

“It was too hot,” she said, shaking her head.

Atvars finished college and went to Canada to work. The plan was to return to Australia to be with her family and move back to Latvia, but something changed Atvars’ mind.

Seattle.”

After retiring, Aboltins and her husband came to live in Seattle in 1967 so they could be with their grandchildren.

“I just wanted to see my grandchildren be born,” Aboltins said. “That’s all I needed.”

Aboltins didn’t expect to fall in love with the Pacific Northwest.

“The greenery, the trees and the weather reminded me of Latvia,” she said.

Following a period of being part of the Soviet Union after World War II, Latvia declared its independence in 1991. It was a happy time for Aboltins and her family, as her grandchildren also attended a Latvian school and cared about their heritage.

Reinholds Aboltins passed away from cancer a year later. Irene was married to him for 60 years.

“My mom has been saying for 20 years now that she won’t be alive for her next birthday,” Atvars said, laughing. “She is a great woman and we are all happy to have her with us.”

Aboltins still likes to write poetry for others and loves to be around family.

As a woman living through many struggles and in many countries, she has learned many things, but offers one piece of advice.

“Just work hard all your life,” she said.

Kentridge falls to Tahoma in shootout Bears down Chargers in SPSL game, 46-42, leaving Kentridge’s playoff hopes still up in the air with one game left

BY DENNIS BOX dbox@maplevalleyreporter.com

It was a football battle from the first kick to the final ticks on the clock at Maxwell Stadium Oct. 21 between Tahoma and Kentridge.

The Bears pulled ahead at the end for a 46-42 victory over the Chargers, securing a spot in the playoffs, and a shot at either second or third in the South Puget Sound League North.

If a game was ever a shoot out, this was it. High scoring and momentum swings from quarter to quarter and from one play to the next.

Kentridge stars Jimmie Davis and Caleb Smith gave Tahoma all it could handle, with both scoring touchdowns in the first quarter.

Tahoma kept within reach in the first half behind the running of Beau Riggs and Jason Smith along with the passing of Shane Nelson.

At the half Tahoma trailed 36-26.

It was the third quarter that turned the tide with Tahoma scoring 13 unanswered points. One touchdown to Smith on a

18-yard Nelson pass and another 53-yard pass play for six.

The Tahoma defense found the answer to containing Kentridge until late in the fourth when Kaid Tipton took it into the end zone from a John Hamilton pass.

Riggs had posted the final six for Tahoma on a 6-yard run and David Stroecker nailed the extra point that gave the Bears the margin of victory it needed.

Nelson was 13 of 21 for 179 yards and two touchdowns. Smith had another great game with 6 catches for 119 yards and two TD’s.

Riggs ran for 116 yards and 3 touchdowns on 23 carries.

On defense Smith and Denham Patricelli led the way with nine tackles. Justin Ross had eight tackles while Wil Anderson had two fumble recoveries.

Tahoma takes on Mount Rainier at 7 p.m. on Thursday at Highline Stadium.

Kentlake scored 37 points in the first half en route to a 58-26 victory Oct. 20 over South Puget Sound League South opponent Emerald Ridge.

The Falcons scored on interception returns, on a quarterback keeper, on passing and running plays.

Tanner Lucas put Kentlake on the board first with a 40yard touchdown run.

Caleb Mathena made it 14-0 with a 39-yard touchdown reception with 5:20 left in the first quarter.

Emerald Ridge’s Kris Durr took it to the Kentlake 4-yard-line on a third and 12 play which set up a Drew Livingston touchdown run with 16 seconds left in the first to make it 14-6 Kentlake.

That was about as close as the Jaguars got to the Falcons.

Mathena got his second touchdown of the night shortly thereafter on an interception return.

Ryan Archibald scored the next touchdown for Kentlake on a pick six.

Tanner Lucas took it up the middle to punch it in for the Falcons to make it 34-6 with 3:24 left in the first half.

Austin Pernell took a 32 yard dart from Church which set up a Mitchell Habryle field goal to make it 37-6 at halftime.

Caleb Saulo ran it in from three yards out for Kentlake’s first score of the second half, about three and a half minutes into the third quarter, to make it 44-6.

Emerald Ridge still had some fight in it, though, and two plays later Dylan Cruse broke out for a 69-yard touchdown run to make it 44-12.

Darryl Parker punched it in from three yards out on the

Tahoma had a great day at the South Puget Sound League sub-district cross country meet on Oct. 22 at Fort Steilacoom park.

The girls took home first place, while the boys placed second, which qualifies them to advance to the West Central District meet on Saturday.

Kent School District runners did well, too, with the fleet-footed pair of Alexia Martin and Ruby Virk from KentMeridian earning spots at the district Alexia Martin meet, as well as Megan Rogers of Kentlake, who finished 14th, and fellow Falcon Terra McGinnis, who finished right behind her teammate — a significant improvement over her showing a year ago when she finished 53rd. Meanwhile, Kentridge senior Talon Abernathy will also head to districts.

Bears Head Coach Gary Conner was pleased with the performance of both teams.

“They ran really well,” Conner said. “That’s the first time I really let them run.”

Top runners for the Tahoma girls included junior Elizabeth Oosterhout, who finished third with a time of 18 minutes, 52 seconds, and freshman Abby Atchison who came in fifth at 19:14.

“I felt really good,” Oosterhout said. “I had some really good competition. It was close to my best time, so it was exciting.”

Conner said he was equally pleased with her performance.

“She’s rocking,” he said.

“She’s the real deal.”

Atchison said she was pleased with her time, which is a personal record.

“I was really excited,” she said. “It was a lot faster than I had run before.”

Conner stated he expects Atchison to run under 19 minutes at the state championship meet.

On the Tahoma boy’s team, junior James Dagley came in third with a time of 16:10. Like Atchison, he also ran a PR at the subdistrict meet.

“It was where I was seeded to be,” he said. “So it was where I wanted to be.”

Dagley said that although he didn’t break 16 minutes at the meet, he will attempt to do so at the district or state meet.

Conner has no doubts about it.

“They’re going to run faster still,” he said. “It’s gonna come down to a few points and a few seconds.”

On the Kent-Meridian girls team, Martin, a junior, placed fourth at 19:01. She also placed fourth at last year’s subdistrict meet.

Virk, a freshman on the Royals squad, crossed the finish line in 10th at 20 minutes. On the boys varsity, senior Teddy Teklu finished 13th at 16:53.

Kentwood’s Danny Lunder didn’t quite perform as well as he had hoped.

He ended up finishing 23rd with a time of 17:06, compared to last year, when he placed seventh. Junior Dasan Telford was able to finish 18th at 16:58.

The top 20 runners and top eight teams advance to the West Central District meet, the Westside Classic, Saturday, at the American Lake Golf Course.

The winners will then advance to the state championship Nov. 5 in Pasco.

This is your chance to celebrate October by planning for spring.

What you do now will pay off all spring and into the summer. Dig out or mulch over weeds in your beds, replace ugly or struggling trees and shrubs with better behaved selections and don’t forget to feed the lawn at least once before December with a winter lawn food.

October is the month to check these things from your outdoor maintenance list: • Clean the gutters, add the gunk to your compost pile or pile it right on top of the weeds in your garden beds. Cover with an attractive mulch like Moo-Doo or bark chips and you won’t have to haul away those gutter-clogging leaves and needles.

• Dig up and divide your daylilies, shasta daises, astilbe and heucheras.

Replant in soil that has been well loosened and amended with compost.

Resist the Urge to Prune these plants Don’t prune hardy fuchsias, hebes, Rose of Sharon hibiscus or other tender shrubs now. Pruning always stimulates growth and these plants need to slip into dormancy before winter arrives.

Don’t prune roses now unless you have some very tall and hardy shrub roses that will be whipped about by the wind.

Collect fallen leaves, make some leaf mold Leaving big leaf maple or other heavy leaves on top of your lawn is risky business. The lack of sunlight will cause thinning and bald spots. Use those

leaves to create luscious leaf mold now. Fill a plastic garbage sack with fallen leaves, add a shovel full of soil, tie the bag closed and poke air holes all over the bag. In six months you can open the bag and add the decomposed leaves to planting beds, potting soil or to use as a weed-blocking mulch.

Auburn’s 46th AnnuAl

Do not fertilize newlyplanted or divided perennials in the fall. You want them to sleep, not grow.

• Transplant evergreens.

If you’ve been meaning to move a rhodie, camellia, juniper, cedar or other winter-hardy tree or shrub, now is the month to dig in. Make the planting hole wider than the old root ball and don‘t use your feet to firm the soil; stomping on the soil compacts all the air holes.

Instead, use your hands to firm the new soil around the roots.

• Buy bulbs now and plant later if you must.

Get the best varieties early then store your bulbs in a cool spot – but don’t forget they need planting before December. Better mark it on your calendar and note where you hid that bag of bulbs.

• Winterize your power equipment. Drain oil and gas from engines if recommended by the manual.

Serving Kent since 1981

Whatever a child can do for himself, he should be allowed to do.

— Maria Montessori

grade students interested in science. Walk into his room and you’ll find a science lab filled with skeletons, bugs, bats and other bits of nature.

“I wanted to give the students some simple and fun activities they could learn the scientific method through,” Heath said. “I wanted them to think science was cool and worth exploring.”

The idea came to Heath after he discovered his students didn’t know much about all science entails.

“I found that the kids didn’t think science was something to explore,” Heath said. “I want the kids to really learn what it is, learn what real scientists do and know it can be a career choice.”

Students outside of Heath’s class are also invited to take part in the lab. Some come in during break time to look around the room and ask questions.

“I just want to pique all the kids’ interest,” Heath said.

“These activities sound silly, and they are, but they really work. We had a bat day on Friday where we dressed in black and brown and learned

about bats by doing fun things.”

Heath doesn’t just incorporate his theme in science class. All subjects revolve around the science lab.

“I notice that when I do that, it piques the students’ interests more and their scores are higher than if we just read from the textbook,” Heath said. “For example, if I just wrote up some random math problems on the board with an explanation, half the kids would be falling asleep.

But, if I take those math word problems and turn them into bat scenarios with pictures, they are excited to learn.”

This isn’t the first theme Heath has come up with to promote learning. He incorporates a different theme in his room every month.

“I’ve worn around 15 different outfits so far,” Heath said, laughing. “It’s a lot of work but I love it.”

Heath isn’t sure yet what next month entails, but his fifth graders should be on the lookout for a Dr. Suess, Mario Brothers or a pirate theme.

CITY OF KENT PUBLIC NOTICE SEPA THRESHOLD DETERMINATION Pursuant to KCC 11.03, Environmental Policy, the City of Kent has issued a threshold determination for the following: Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) for: CITY OF KENT PUBLIC WORKS RIVERVIEW PARK ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION / NADEN FILL SITE #ENV-2011-12/#RPSA-2112793 The City of Kent Environmental Engineering Division proposes to create approximately 800 feet of off-channel habitat for Chinook salmon rearing and winter high flow refuge along the Green River. The project includes installation of native plants and placement of large woody debris.

A 3,125 square foot pre-fabricated pedestrian bridge will be constructed to provide access to the area being isolated by the new side channel. Excavation of the channel will require the removal of approximately 60,000 cubic yards of material, most of which will be placed in Riverview Park on the landward side east of the channel. Approximately 4,400 cubic yards of material will be exported to the Naden Fill Site which will be graded across the site. Construction is proposed to commence February 2012 and is expected to be completed during 2012 for both sites. As federal permits/

approvals/funding apply to this proposal, the US Army Corps of Engineers, as required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), prepared a Final Environmental Assessment dated May 2010 which states that a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) is appropriate. The Naden site was considered in 2007 as a possible location for the Kent Events Center, and was evaluated in the Kent Events Center Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) dated February 2007 and the Kent Events Center Final SEIS dated May 2007.

Riverview Park is located near River Mile 23.7, west of State Route 167 and south of Willis Street and at the end of Hawley Road. This site is identified as King County parcel numbers 2522049001 and 2422049108 and is zoned MA, Industrial Agriculture.

The Naden Fill site is located north of Willis Street, south of West Meeker Street, east of State Route 167 and west of the Interurban Trail. This site is identified as King County parcel numbers 2422049042, 2422049040, 2422049102, 2422049103, 2422049056, 6000000010, 6000000021, 6000000022, 6000000020, 6000000031, 6000000030, 6000000040, 6000000050, 6000000051, 6000000052, 6000000060, 6000000061 and 6000000070.

Zoning of this site is DCE, Downtown Commercial Enterprise The proposed project is subject to the City of Kent Shoreline Master Program, which designates the site as Urban Conservancy – Open Space.

Comments are due for the above project by 4:30 p.m., November 14, 2011, to City of Kent Planning Services.
