ent Elementary School staff were recognized for encouraging students to be leaders and involving the community in the learning process.

Boeing representatives surprised staff during a meeting with the ninth annual John D. Warner Award for Excellence in Education. The award provides the school with a $25,000 unrestricted grant for demonstrating excellence in school leadership, parent involvement and student learning.

Boeing selected Kent Elementary because of its strong partnerships within the community and school leadership’s commitment to making improvements in the district, according to a Boeing spokesperson.

“This is a fantastic honor for Kent Elementary and Kent School District,” said Dr. Edward Lee Vargas, superintendent of the Kent School District. “This award represents the commitment of the staff and community of Kent Elementary to having a laser-like focus on student achievement.

Kent boy charged with East Hill rapes

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

King County prosecutors filed first-degree rape and kidnapping charges Nov. 10 against a 15-yearold Kent boy for allegedly raping a 17-year-old girl and 19-year-old woman on separate nights in late October on the East Hill.

King County CRIME Prosecutor Dan Satterberg said he will seek to have the Kentwood High School student tried as an adult, which could lead to a much longer sentence if the boy is convicted of the crimes.

“It is rare that someone this young is accused of serious crimes of predatory sexual violence,” Satterberg said in a King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office media release. “Because the [ more CHARGED page 5 ]

Tami Perdue, the city’s chief prosecutor, will oversee the investigation. A witness first reported the topped trees to Kent Police.

The trees were cut over the last few weeks reportedly in an effort by nearby property owners to improve views of the Green River Valley and Mount Rainier.

“About 34 trees were topped or

damaged on city property on a steep slope off to the west side of Reith Road,” Perdue said.

Perdue expects the investigation to wrap up by the end of this week with specifics about code violations or even criminal charges.

“It could be a number of different violations,” Perdue said.

“There also is the potential for criminal charges from malicious mischief to interfering with the property of another.”

Nearby property owners reportedly hired a tree-cutting service to do the work.

While women have traditionally played the role of caregiver, men account for nearly 40 percent of the caregiver population. The fact is that disease does not often show a gender preference when it comes to robbing individuals of their ability to take care of themselves. It then becomes the responsibility of the husband, son, or male significant other to face the challenge of providing support. For men in particular, there is often no template for them to follow as caregivers; however, that certainly does not mean that they cannot effectively take on the role. Like any caregiver, though, they themselves could use some help. If you know a caregiver (male or female), ask how you can be of assistance.

At PARKSIDE RETIREMENT COMMUNITY, we welcome senior men and women.

Male and female staff members are available to assist our residents.

THE KENTRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL CHATELAINES DANCE TEAM PERFORMANCE: 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 2

avid Kelley didn’t expect his Eagle Scout project to turn into something big.

The 13-year-old Kent Mountain View Academy seventh-grader was trying to find a project to earn himself an Eagle badge when he stumbled upon a flyer posted by the Pediatric Interim Care Center (PICC), a newborn center in Kent providing care for drug-exposed babies.

“I have friends that told me they came out of this clinic, so I really wanted to do all I could to help the business and the babies,” Kelley said. “The flyer mentioned the care center went through budget cuts and couldn’t afford supplies for the newborns, so I decided to try and get as many different supplies as I could.”

Kelley ended up collecting a few hundred items.

He delivered hand-made blankets, diapers and other

items to the care center Nov. 15.

“I feel happy that everything came together,” Kelley said. “I can’t believe I was able to get so many people to donate and to be able to give so many items.”

It took about a month for Kelley to get started on the Eagles’s leadership service project. His goal was to ask the community for as many items listed on PICC’s wish list as possible.

“At the beginning there was a lot of writing about what I wanted to do and describing it and going to PICC to see if they’d like the project,” Kelley said.

“After PICC approved it, I had to plan how I was going to collect everything.”

Kelley didn’t receive a warm response from people right away.

“I went to many manufacturers and some stores, but none of them wanted to participate,” Kelley said. “So I decided to take my idea to the community.”

1 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Saturday, Dec. 3

David Kelley, an Eagle Scout, collected more than 100 items from community members to give to the Pediatric Interim Care Center as a way to earn his Eagle badge. CHARLES CORTES, Kent Reporter He went to seven different church congregations and schools around the Kent area.

“I got such a warm response from those places and over 100 people to donate to the project,” Kelley said. “And most were donating more than one item,

which was so helpful.”

Kelley inspired several church members to get together and sew blankets for PICC. “I had collected a lot of fabric, people brought their own sewing machines and we just spent an afternoon making blankets,” he said.

Although Kelley earned his badge, his community service efforts aren’t over.

“It felt so good to help people and make a difference that I want to encourage other people to give,” he said. “I want to do all I can to make the community aware of PICC and all they do.”

Kent Police arrested a man for investigation of obstructing a law enforcement officer after six officers responded to a report of man threatening customers at about 11:23 p.m. Nov. 11

at the Pied Piper Tavern, 311 W. Meeker St. A customer called 911 to report a man being verbally abusive toward patrons, according to the police report.

When two officers arrived at the bar, they told the man to leave the property. The man stood across the street

from the bar with a couple of friends and yelled at the police.

The officers called for more police in fear that the incident might escalate.

Police called for a taxi to take the man and his friends home. When the taxi arrived, none of them entered it. They all walked away.

Officers stayed at the scene because they feared the man would return to the bar.

The man later approached the bar and took photos of a patrol car in the parking lot. He also took a photo of the bar’s front door when officers decided to arrest him for investigation of obstructing because six officers had spent nearly 50 minutes on the call and were unable to respond to any other calls.

Officers noted that the man was highly intoxicated, belligerent and uncooperative. Police took him into custody without incident.

Police had staked out the man’s motel room after a tip that the man was at the motel. Officers saw the man exit the room and start to walk down Pacific Highway.

Officers exited their patrol car with guns drawn and ordered the man to the ground. He complied with the order and officers handcuffed him. They searched the man and found a pistol in his waistband. The man had a state Department of Corrections warrant for second-degree escape and an Auburn theft warrant.

Officers also discovered the gun in his possession had been reported stolen during a 2004 Renton burglary.

Police responded to an ad on the website backpage. com to set up an undercover prostitution sting that eventually led officers to the man in the motel.

ASSAULT

THEFT

Officers arrested a man for investigation of fourthdegree assault after he reportedly pushed and punched a roommate over a dispute about cups at about 2:30 p.m. Nov. 9 at a home in the 12000 block of Southeast 204th Street.

The two men allegedly started to fight after one man told the other man to move cups from the top of the refrigerator to the pantry, according to the police report.

The man who asked for the cups to be moved decided to take the cups himself to the pantry. The other man then grabbed the cups from the pantry and put them back on top of the fridge.

When the first man went to move the cups back to the pantry, the second man shoved him and the two started to fight on the ground. After they broke free, the first man went upstairs to get a shotgun because he thought the other man went into the kitchen to get a knife.

When police arrived, both men were initially placed in handcuffs. Several children also were home during the dispute.

Police cited and released two women for investigation of third-degree theft after an incident at about 4:27 p.m.

Nov. 8 at a store in the 26300 block of 104th Avenue Southeast.

The two entered the store, grabbed a cart and started to place items in the cart and remove tags, according to the police report.

They left the store with no attempt to pay for any of the items. Store security stopped the two after they exited the store and escorted them back inside.

One woman told officers she did not mean to take any items. She said she went outside to get more money from her mother, who was waiting in a vehicle. She said she had about $40 on her. The items taken were worth $200.

After citing and releasing the women, the officer watched the pair get into a van. They were the only occupants of the vehicle.

The officer noted it “appears they lied about their mother being in the van with extra money.”

Police banned the two women from the store for one year.

Barbee’s Kent trial date moved to February

Seattle man faces promoting prostitution charge next year, after trial was originally scheduled for Nov. 14 The trial date has been continued to Feb. 20 for a Seattle man arrested in Kent and charged with promoting prostitution, leading organized crime, promoting sexual abuse of a minor and other charges.

Shacon Fontane Barbee, 32, allegedly made at least $192,000 as a pimp during one eight-month period, according to charging papers filed against Barbee in July by King County prosecutors.

Barbee had been scheduled to go to trial Nov. 14, but the case was continued because he now has a new defense attorney, according to a Nov. 14 email from Dan Donohoe, spokesman for the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s

[ CHARGED from page 1] defendant is a few months shy of 16, we will proceed with a hearing to convince the Juvenile Court to relinquish jurisdiction. I believe a case this serious belongs in adult court.�

Prosecutors charged the boy with two counts of firstdegree rape and two counts of first-degree kidnapping with sexual motivation.

Because the boy is 15, the King County Juvenile Court will first handle the charges.

A Juvenile Court judge must order adult prosecution for the boy and decline the case, which would send it to King County Superior Court.

If convicted in Juvenile Court, the boy could face incarceration up to his 21st birthday, according to the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. If convicted in adult court, the sentence range is 28 to nearly 36 years in prison with a potential maximum sentence of life in prison.

Under Washington state law, an offender who com-

mits a serious violent offense is automatically charged in adult court if they are 16 or 17 years old. The boy turns 16 in March.

A hearing to determine whether he is tried as an adult is expected to be scheduled for early 2012.

In each incident, the boy approached the woman and the girl after they had exited a bus. In each attack, the defendant allegedly told the victims he had a gun and threatened to shoot them if they did not cooperate and go with him to a secluded spot. He reportedly raped both women while continuing to threaten them with what he said was a gun.

Kent Police arrested the boy Monday at Kentwood.

The boy initially talked to a detective after he was advised of his rights. “It wasn’t like I wanted to do it or anything,� the boy said, according to charging papers.

he didn’t commit the rapes.

He admitted to the detective there were two victims.

In the first alleged rape of a 19-year-old woman at about 10 p.m. Oct. 29 in the 12900 block of Kent Kangley Road, the boy admitted he threatened to hurt the woman and implied he had a weapon, but denied actually having a weapon. He admitted he told her if she didn’t go with him he would hurt her.

When the detective started to talk to the boy about the second rape, he stopped talking and said he wanted to talk to a lawyer.

The second incident occurred at around 7:30 p.m.

Oct. 30 in the 26200 block of 116th Avenue Southeast, just north of Kent Kangley Road.

Detectives interviewed the family friend the boy referred to. The man denied any involvement and told detectives the boy told him he did both of the rapes.

Detectives matched DNA collected from the boy with evidence collected from the woman and the girl.

Serving King County for over 16 years!

...holiday entertaining Using scent, sight and sound to stimulate holiday spirits (ARA) - From baking cookies with loved ones to caroling through the neighborhood or celebrating with family and friends, fond memories of holiday traditions abound.

Each year, scents, sights and sounds promote the season’s spirit - continuing long-standing traditions and creating new memories.

Here are some ideas for stimulating your senses and evoking the warmth of the holidays in your home: Savoring seasonal scents Home fragrances create a warm, inviting environment during the holidays and all year-round. A whiff of a familiar scent often calls to mind memories of holidays past.

The scent of cinnamon and vanilla conjures thoughts of freshly baked cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning, while a blend of

evergreens, cedar, and musk reminds many of Christmas tree hunting in the woods.

One of the safest ways to recreate holiday memories is with scented, wickless candles.

With no wick and no flame, there’s no worry or mess. After selecting a favorite seasonal fragrance, it’s easy to place a cube or two of the scented wax into a decorative, ceramic candle warmer. Just one whiff and you are on your way down memory lane. “A festive, welcoming atmosphere stimulates our senses and reminds us of holidays past as we celebrate with our family and friends,� says Heidi Thompson, president and co-owner of Scentsy, a leader in home fragrance. “A home filled with classic holiday scents not only evokes memories but inspires new seasonal traditions for young families.�

Behold the sights Twinkling lights fill the indoor and outdoor landscape during the holidays. To capture the spirit of the season and add a shimmering glow to any room, consider a simple string or two of miniature lights strung along a mantel or displaying a holidaythemed wickless candle. From snowmen to Santa, there are festive designs in all shapes and sizes to complement any decor.

Sounds of the season The sounds of the season create happy holiday memories. Adding traditional tunes from Bing Crosby or modern interpretations from Harry Connick, Jr. can set the mood as you decorate your home, entertain dinner guests or simply escape the hustle and bustle of the season. Music creates a cheerful atmosphere and often encourages listeners to sing along.

Enjoying the scents, sights and sounds of the season is simple. To learn more about how to fill your home with festive fragrances and decorate with wickless candles, visit www.Scentsy.net.

● QUOTE OF NOTE: “Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.“ - Robert Frost

Education takes a family

I could be a great critic of school systems, especially in the light of all the battles we have fought during the past 20 years to dismantle the structures in the system that foster disproportionality and a number of disparities affecting impoverished students of all colors. However, educators are not the only ones responsible for educating students in a given community.

The community and the families of students have a more important role; that is to be sure their students get the best education possible Melvin Tate

As a career educator with 13 years in the classroom, and 13 years as an administrator both in the buildings and in the central office, I never met a single teacher or other persons in schools, including custodians and secretaries, who didn’t want every child to learn as much as possible.

Even educators who were ineffective, several of whom I processed/counseled out of education, wanted the best for students.

There have been times in the Kent School District when the entire district was geared up and led the way to address a variety of diversity, equity, and justice issues.

And, we made significant changes, several of which are now institutionalized in the district.

Yet we still have some of the major issues that first caught our attention decades ago; things that we said must change.

Included among those issues is what people now call the “achievement gap” and now also called the “opportunity gap.” Disproportionality in discipline and in other areas continues to exist as well.

When public education first came into existence what students had to learn in school was basic reading writing and arithmetic, and there were far fewer distractions.

However, the universe of what students now need to learn and the phenomenal number of distractions, have become so numerous and so competitive that educators can’t do it alone any more. Under the current systems educators can’t prepare students for the 21st century without a great deal of support from families and community.

Reformers point the finger at educators to find a new way. And, we talk about the success of charter schools.

Even some charter school successes can be attributed to siphoning from poor white communities and communities of color some of the most highly motivated families and the most highly motivated students.

A number of charter schools also require a certain level of family involvement as well.

Parents sign documents indicating a level of commitment.

Failure of the parent to support the student’s academic work at home, or if a student has discipline problems in some charter schools, that student can land back in the regular public school.

A basic responsibility of the families in any school is to be sure the student shows up for school, and to be sure the student comes to school with a mindset that is prepared to learn.

FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES MUST HELP For many years the research has existed indicating what families do at home is the strongest indicator of how well a student will perform in school.

As an example, if a student is assigned two hours of homework each night to learn things and practice things that the teacher doesn’t have time for in class, the family has a responsibility to make sure the student completes that work.

Family members can’t be expected to know everything in the book, but they should be able to provide a space and time for students to do the work, and make sure the student does the work. However, if the parent can’t be expected to know the subject matter then who will be available evenings to answer the questions the student has about the homework?

On average students are in classrooms only about 6 hours a day. The other 18 hours are spent outside of school; that is, in activities, in the family, and in the community. Let’s give the average student eight hours of sleep.

There are 10 hours left in that 24 hour period. The research shows that black and brown students spend up to 4 hours a day watching TV. Now you have 6 hours left in the day.

Where are the children during that 6 hours?

And, what are they doing on school nights?

Better still, what are the parents doing?

Research also show that some white and Asian students use more of their time outside of school for studying, and much less of their time watching TV than black and brown students in general.

Obviously the studious discipline of some white and Asian students is contributing to the causes of the achievement gap. What kinds of inferences could one draw from these facts?

And, why isn’t more reform efforts focused on these facts? Is it much easier to attack the system than to help families support students and inspire students? Should families, students,

and communities also be held accountable for student learning during that 18 hours students are not in school?

It is certainly fair to hold educators accountable, but until individual students, families, and communities assume their responsibility for education it is likely the achievement gap will generally continue to exist between those who do assume the responsibility and those who don’t Any family who doesn’t know what to do at home can be perceived as a victim of the system, but there is help.

Are any of the advocates and reformers in the neighborhood who attack the education system actually coming around to show the victims what they can do at home to help improve student performance in school?

One reason this discussion is important is because for each student who performs poorly on third grade reading tests, some states set aside money for a jail cell with that student’s number on it about 12 years later.

A jail cell is also prepared for those who don’t graduate. The problem also affects society in general because it costs more to house people in jail than it does to educate them.

Black and brown students are already overrepresented in the prison populations.

If there is no one in the community to help, then call the teacher or the principal and ask for help learning what to do at home to help your student perform better in school. Don’t be shy; a child’s future doesn’t depend on a parent knowing everything.

The education system is there to teach much of what parents don’t know. However, a child’s future may depend on a parent asking for help when they don’t know what to do. Attendance is one of the problems in many schools.

Parents can begin by making sure the student is at school every school day, and make sure the student arrives at school with an attitude that is prepared to learn.

recognizing high quality teaching. The students were quiet, respectful, and for the most part there to learn.

The building was clean and well maintained. All in all, the learning environment there was outstanding. I have friends that question our decision. I have to explain to them that they are making assumptions, “judging a book by the cover�, and not basing their opinions on facts.

I had the opportunity to attend a meeting on Stan-

vision to create a “fair� and accurate grading system.

After visiting three high schools, our son chose Kent-Meridian and we couldn’t be happier with his decision. I recently spent the day there for the Bring Your Parent to School Day which affirmed our decision and gave us peace. The class sizes were reasonable, surprising given the budget situation in public schools.

The teaching was impressive, and having been a teacher I feel capable of

During my visit I was impressed with how well the teachers were communicating to the stu-

KENT-MERIDIAN DRAMA TAKES ON THE LIVING DEAD The Kent-Meridian High School drama students are taking on a scary theme for their latest play.

The Night of the Living Dead is adapted from the famous 1968 George Ramero film, which tells the story of a group of people seeking shelter in an old farm house from an onslaught of zombies. The occupants not only have to fight the zombies, but they also have to overcome the differences they have with each other.

The final show is at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 18 at the Kent-Meridian Performing Arts Center. Tickets are available at the door and are $6 for students with ASB cards and $8 for adults.

viation High School junior Jacob Wagner already had a dream come true.

He got to fly an airplane solo for the first time.

“It was the best experience I’ve ever had,” Wagner said, beaming. “I was just giggling the whole time. It felt so good to be up in the air; I felt so free.”

This experience was possible because of a discount Wagner received through his enrollment at Aviation High School. The school, which opened in 2004, focuses on preparing students for college and a high-technological workplace.

“It is our goal to become the premier school of choice for science, technology, engineering and math in the Pacific Northwest,” said principal Reba Gilman.

Plans are underway to construct a permanent school on property offered

learning so we believe the move to the new facility will help us better reach our mission,” Gilman said.

“The work of school can be like the work outside the classroom and still be academically rigorous, and that with the right instructional approach it is possible for all students to be prepared for higher education and work in a knowledge-based, global economy.”

For the first three years, the school was located on the Duwamish campus of South Seattle Community College, close to Boeing Field, The Museum of Flight and other aviationrelated enterprises. The school relocated a few years ago to what was originally Olympic Middle School in Des Moines because of student growth.

“The school is now at capacity of 400 students in grades 9-12,” Gilman said. “The demand for this school is increasing each year.”

Students must apply to get into the school. Gilman said this year, about 50 percent were local students and the rest commuted from surrounding districts, some as far away as Olympia, Everett and Bremerton.

“I came here for the college prep aspect and because I knew it’d be an environment where the students were career oriented,” said senior Jenny Gao. Gao was able to partici-

pate in several job shadow and internship programs throughout her four years at the school. The places included Sea-Tac Airport, Port of Seattle, and a business in London when Gao spent a summer abroad.

“I’ve had a great multitude of experience here and feel really ready for my future,” she said.

Gao hopes to get a degree in engineering, chemical and aerospace systems. She has already received several scholarships.

Freshman Emory Eng said it is great to be at a school with people sharing similar interests.

“We are all interested in technology, science and math and like to talk about it,” Eng said. “We all fit in together.”

Eng said most students can’t wait for the new facility.

“There is such an excitement for it,” he said.”We will be so close to the airplanes we will be able to see them right outside our classes. We will also be able to go to the Museum of Flight’s large library to research.”

The new building’s design is reminiscent of a plane’s fuselage with areas to display aviation-themed projects and artifacts.

The building will feature sustainable strategies qualifying the school for Washington Sustainable Schools Protocol certification, which includes energy-use reduction, air

quality maintenance, water conservation and heat exchangers that recover 90 percent of the building’s energy.

“This is not going to be your traditional high school,” Gilman said.

Instead of having a gymnasium, the school will feature project labs to display robots, rockets, model and real airplanes.

Rather than a library, the school is providing classroom libraries with resources pertaining to each subject and each student will have his/her own computer.

The three-story building will accommodate up to 400 students. Construction and design are expected to cost around $43.5 million.

“This new building means our school will finally have a permanent home with learning spaces that accommodate project-based learning and are easily accessible by public transportation,” Gilman said. “I believe this will help us inspire young people and provide a pipeline of future employees to fill the gaps within the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) workforce.”

House plants that thrive during the winter cent bulbs. Yes, that means they’ll bloom in your office cubicle under a desk lamp.

But there is a catch – the light source must be less than 12 inches away from the top of the violet.

Of course if you happen to have an east- or north-facing window you can enjoy reblooming African violets without a fluorescent bulbs.

Moist soil: Don’t let your African violets dry out but don’t let their roots sit in

water either. They love humidity so place the plastic pot inside a larger, more decorative container sitting atop pebbles, wine corks or marbles. This way the drainage water will evaporate to add humidity without rotting the plant roots.

A boiled egg: This old husband’s tale really does work. If you have an African violet that is refusing to rebloom, boil an egg and water the plant with the cooking water. Do not add salt to the water

and allow the water to cool completely before you water your violets. It is the calcium from the egg shell that leaches into the water and puts African violets in a blooming good mood.

A proper stage: Put your plants on a pedestal and show off those winter blooms by staging your violets with these ideas: t 6TF B TPVQ UVSFFO crystal bowl or elegant art glass to hold a grouping of blooming violets and other houseplants.

Why anxiety disorders are on the rise future.

More than 40 million people suffer from anxiety disorders in this country, estimates the Anxiety Disorders Association of America (ADAA) based on prescription drug sales.

Younger generations seem to be most affected. “It used to be that if you got a good education, you would get a good job. But today, young people are uncertain about finding a job, they have a lot more debt, they are working

while studying, finishing later, more fatigued and some are starting families while still in school, and juggling all of this causes a great deal of stress,� said Dr. Katy Kamkar, a clinical psychologist at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto, Canada.

So, are our times more stressful and anxietyridden than, let’s say, the Great Depression era in the 1930s? In a way yes, according to Dr. Jean Twenge, a professor at San Diego State University and author of “Generation Me.� “Anxiety rates have risen steadily over the past

COMMENTARY

It’s getting harder to feel good about life in America.

According to data collected by the Census Bureau, the average income of Americans has fallen by almost 10 percent since the beginning of the recession of 2008. Some experts say the financial crisis has been as traumatic and anxiety-producing for millions of Americans as the events of Sept. 11, 2001. While people back then were fearful of another terrorist attack, they are now experiencing profound existential angst about their

seven decades, during good economic times and bad,� she said.

Dr. Twenge sees at least some of the reasons in the deep cultural shifts we as a society have undergone since the 1960s. “Recent generations have been told over and over again: You can be anything you want to be, you can have the big job title, you can have the big bank account, and in the case of women, you can have the perfect body. That puts a lot on a person’s shoulder – and it is also not really true.

That disconnect creates a lot of anxiety about how

hard you need to work [‌] and a deep fear of failure.�

And it’s not only that people have impossibly high expectations that are bound to be frustrated at some point in their lives.

The world keeps changing so fast that many feel left behind even at a relatively young age.

Reconsidering one’s values and making changes to one’s lifestyle is not easy.

It’s hard if not impossible to get off the train once you’re on it. “People feel they should always be on, and that they could be called upon at any moment to do something,�

It’s an emotional reaction that helps us recognize actual threats or problems and deal with them. If kept at a healthy level, anxiety can help us to be more focused and perform better.

However, if it grows out of proportion, it can become quickly counter-productive and, in extreme cases, even debilitating. “Generally, we say anxiety is not normal when it lasts days beyond a specific stressful event, or when it interferes with a person’s life,� said Dr. Terri Moffit, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke University in North Carolina.

The term “anxiety disorder� refers to anxiety as a chronic condition. It can take on different forms.

There is generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), social anxiety disorder (a.k.a. social phobia) and specific phobias.

Anxiety and fear are often used interchangeably.

But in clinical usage, they have clearly distinct meanings. Anxiety is defined as a negative emotional state for which the cause is either not identified or perceived to be beyond a person’s control.

Fear, on the other hand, is an emotional and physiological response to a concrete external threat. Phobias, which are responses of fear or discomfort triggered by specific stimuli or situations, are also considered to be anxiety disorders.

Anxiety often goes hand in hand with clinical depression and other mental disorders. It is estimated that about 60 percent of people suffering from chronic depression experience regular bouts of anxiety as well.

Kentlake’s Emily Tanasse swims to a fifth-place finish in the 100-yard butterfly at the 4A state girls swim and dive championships on Saturday at the King County Aquatic Center to help the Falcons take third, their highest finish in school history. CHARLES CORTES, Kent Reporter

K

entlake’s third-place finish at the 4A state swim and dive championship meet at the King County Aquatic Center Nov. 11-12 was no small feat.

First, the team did it without a diver, and second they did it swimming against Skyline, which won its third straight team championship in the pool thanks to a pair of individual titles from standout Katie Kinnear and a pair of first place finishes in relays.

And to top it all off, it was the best finish for the Falcons at the state swim meet since Kentlake opened in 1997.

“This means a lot to the team, the girls worked very hard this year and everyone contributed something to the team’s success,” wrote Kentlake coach Seth Dawson

in an email. “I think the key to winning the butterfly while Tanasse placed fourth in the trophy was perseverance. The kids never gave 100 backstroke and a fifth place finish in the up, they kept swimming hard and all of our 100 fly. relay’s really stepped up, we had some really Meanwhile, Joanna Wu of Kent-Meridian great swims and scored points in all three finished her career for the Royals with a third relays.

Conquerors put together best postseason run since 1986, Kent-Meridian stuns KingCo champ Woodinville

BY KRIS HILL khill@covingtonreporter.com

Kentwood was within a few points of a 4A state volleyball title but fell just short Nov. 12 against Olympia at Saint Martin’s University.

The Conks lost 3-2 (25-23, 18-25, 25-14, 25-6, 13-15) to the Bears after beating Kamiak 3-1 in the first round, sweeping South Puget Sound League North division rival Kent-Meridian in the second game, the beat Curtis of the SPSL South in the semi-final.

A week ago Kentwood lost to Olympia in the West Central District semi-final, so, the Conks knew what they were up against.

Kentwood coach Cindy Seims said via email it was tough for the team to have to settle for second place. “The girls were disappointed to be so close and not get that coveted state title,� Seims wrote. “We were up in game five and just couldn’t get it done.

Though it was Kentwood’s eighth straight appearance and seventh trophy in that run, it was the school’s best finish since winning the state crown in 1986. “We had an amazing season,� Seims wrote. “Our key all along was to have

fun. Our girls play great when they are relaxed and savoring the moment.�

Senior setter Kacie Seims -- who was voted the SPSL North MVP -- and senior outside hitter Mikaela Ballou made the all tournament team. Ballou tallied 27 kills in the title match while Kacie Seims had 40 assists.

Meanwhile the other SPSL North teams in the tournament, Tahoma and Kent-Meridian, both missed out on a shot at a trophy.

Tahoma was eliminated in two games, finishing the season 11-10 overall and 6-2 in conference, losing 3-2 to perennial volleyball powerhouse Mead which has placed every year but this one since 1998. Newport then bounced Tahoma in the second round.

Kent-Meridian provided the stunner of the first day of the tournament when it beat KingCo champion Woodinville 3-2 in the first round but it couldn’t carry the momentum forward, losing to Kentwood then Skyline, finishing the season 9-9 overall after going 5-3 in the North.

Kenneth (Ken) Leland Wright Kenneth (Ken) Leland Wright, 66, passed away unexpectedly at home in Kent, Washington Wednesday morning, November 9, 2011, from a heart attack.

A devoted family man, loyal friend and committed follower of Christ, Ken touched the lives of many and is remembered as a man who put others first.

Ken was born in Miles City, Montana, but with his father, Sam, in the Air Force, the family lived in many places around the world. When Ken graduated from high school in Del Rio,Texas, he moved back to Montana to attend Montana State University in Bozeman, MT. Upon graduation from MSU in 1967, Ken followed his father into the United States Air Force and was assigned to Shaw Air Force Base in Sumter, South Carolina. Ken’s service career spanned nearly 25 years as both an active-duty officer and reservist; he retired as a Lieutenant Colonel.

In 1969, Ken married Ellen Traub of Broadus, Montana.

Ken and Ellen had a son, Jeffry (Sumter, SC), and a daughter, Stephanie (Landstuhl, Germany).

After retiring from active duty in 1979, Ken moved the family to Seattle, Washington where he began a 25-year career at The Boeing Company. Ken worked in Business Management on a variety of military projects and contracts.

Upon his retirement in August of 2004, Ken pursued a number of his passions full time. He and Ellen spent considerable time with their grandchildren; they traveled to places like Italy, Greece, China, Hawaii and the Bahamas; and were very active parishioners at St. Anthony’s Church in Renton, Washington. Ken was also the Treasurer of the Rhododendron Species Foundation; was a volunteer tax aide with AARP; and attended countless Mariners games with friends and family.

Ken is survived by many, but most indelibly by his wife of 42 years, Ellen, their son Jeffry, and daughter Stephanie (Jeffrey) Richards; two grandchildren, Ethan and Riley Wright and their mother Heather Wright.

Services were held at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church in Renton, WA on Wednesday, November 16th, 2011 at 2:00 p.m.

Interment was Thursday, November 17th, 2011 at 11:15 a.m. at Tahoma National Cemetery in Kent, WA. Memorials may be made to the Rhododendron Species Foundation (www.rhodygarden.org or PO Box 3789, Federal Way, WA 98063) 546438

state football playoffs by Skyview, Union

BY KRIS HILL khill@covingtonreporter.com

A pair of football teams from southwestern Washington that are just 15 miles apart ended the seasons of Kentwood and Kentlake -- which are located seven miles from each other -- on Nov. 11.

Kentwood lost 34-7 to Skyview on the road in Vancouver, Wash., while Union traveled to French Field to defeat Kentlake 31-7.

It was a tough night at French Field for the Falcons.

Kentlake Head Coach Chris Paulson, in his second year at the helm, said Union came ready to stop his team. “Union did a much better job of blocking and tackling than we did,�

Paulson wrote in an email interview. “They controlled the line of scrimmage and were able to put time

consuming drives together to keep the ball away from our offense. They are a very good, physical football team.

When you turn the ball over and don’t take advantage of opportunities when you have them, it’s very difficult to win in the playoffs.�

Union had a 10-0 lead in the first half and on two Kentlake drives that looked like the Falcons were about to score, the Titans picked off the Falcons quarterbacks, ending both drives.

Kentlake struggled to answer and couldn’t contain Union’s Gabe Rego or Brandon Brody-Heim, as each racked up more than 100 yards on the ground.

Still, Paulson said, the Falcons should be proud of what they accomplished in their best season since losing to Kentwood in the first round of state in 2000. “Overall, we had a great season,�

Paulson wrote. “It obviously didn’t end the way we would have liked, but I am very proud of our players. They finished 10-1 and are SPSL North champions. While we had higher expectations, that is nothing to be ashamed of. This was a special group of players and I am proud of the way they played and carried themselves throughout the season.�

Kentwood’s loss to Skyview was similar in that it was close in the first half but the Conquerors struggled to find its rhythm offensively.

Skyview led 14-0 in the second quarter when Jackson Huerta scored Kentwood’s lone touchdown on a 43yard fumble return.

After that, though, Skyview’s offense scored two more touchdowns and it locked down Kentwood’s offensive efforts, including a 47-yard interception return for a touchdown in the final period.

Tahoma moves on to semis, Kentwood knocked out

BY KRIS HILL

khill@maplevalleyreporter.com

The road to the state 4A girls soccer title game leads through the Sammamish Plateau.

Again.

A year ago Tahoma beat Skyline, then the topranked team in the country, to get to the state title contest.

Tahoma gets back to the semi-final again this year thanks to a 2-1 overtime win over Central Valley at home on Saturday night, with both goals coming off the boot of senior Becca Velasco, who scored her first goal with 18 minutes, 30 seconds left in the first half. She put in the decisive goal in overtime.

Velasco also led the charge for Tahoma in its first-round win against Gonzaga Prep.

“I feel like we’re not playing to our potential yet but we’re super close,” she said after that game. “Hopefully we can connect more in the next game.”

She got her wish as Tahoma played an aggressive first half and dominated offensively.

This year the Bears will square off against the Spartans in the state tournament for the third season in a row, the second straight semi-final match up between the two, except this year it won’t be Kentwood waiting for the winner.

For the Conquerors, it balanced out.” the defending champions, Kentwood finishes the the road to the title game season 17-2-1. ended on the Sammamish “I feel good about the Plateau in a 1-0 loss against way we played this year,” the Spartans on Saturday Radford said. “We didn’t evening. achieve all of our goals, but “It was a good game,” it is actually rare to meet wrote Kentwood head them all, every year. I think coach Aaaron Radford in we had a team that was caan email interview. “We pable of playing in the Final had some good chances Four again, but it wasn’t overall, but just couldn’t meant to be.

The weather motivation into our games was tough to deal with, but and that’s why we’ve been both teams had to do it, so so focused.”

Senior co-captain Maggie Hanson said Tahoma has Kentwood to thank for its attitude in the playoffs.

“I think that losing to Kentwood, it got us in the mood to want to win,” Hanson said. “And after winning our first playoff game that really gave us the momentum. We had a rough patch... but we learned from those games and know we know what it takes to get there.”

In the first round of state, the Bears had to travel to Spokane on Nov. 9 to play the Bullpups of Gonzaga

Prep, having left at 8;30 a.m. to play at 6 p.m. After winning that game 2-1 in a shootout, Tahoma got back on the bus and headed home, getting home shortly after 2 a.m. on Nov. 10.

The key, Velasco said, was “our drive just to win.

We didn’t drive all the way down there just to lose.”

With the win over Central Valley, Tahoma improved to 14-3-2. The Bears finished third in the South Puget Sound League North Division. A year ago, the Conks finished third in the division and won the

state title.

No matter what happens next, Hanson said, Tahoma has put together a great year.

“We should be proud of our season because we learned what it’s like to lose and what it’s like to win and how to come up for a loss,” she said.

Velasco described her senior season as “amazing.”

“Honestly, this team, it’s the best I’ve ever been on,” she said. “We’re just one huge family and I’m going to miss it.”

SOCCER

New coaches hired for boys soccer, fastpitch at Kentlake

Kentlake High Athletic Director Bruce Rick has hired a new fastpitch coach and a new boys soccer coach. Both are spring sports.

Kaylee Powell, a Kentlake graduate, will take over as fastpitch coach. She is filling a spot vacated by Greg Kaas. She played three years on the Falcons fastpitch team and earned a scholarship to play at West Texas A&M University. She also coached for two seasons under Kaas at Cedar Heights.

Michael Fuller, a Kentwood High graduate, takes over the boys soccer program. He has coached in the Kent area under KYSA at the mod, select and club levels as both an assistant and head coach during the past five years. Fuller also has a USSF National “D” Coaching License.

The mall, along with more than 130 retailers, will open at midnight Black Friday, Nov. 25, according to a mall media release.

[GUSTAFSON from page 10] are quite common among men and women with anxiety disorders, although it cannot always be determined whether anxiety causes the dysfunction or whether they both result from a common cause.

Treatment options for anxiety disorders include psychotherapy (e.g. cognitive-behavioral therapy),

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF WASHINGTON FOR SPOKANE COUNTY In the matter of the Estate of: KENNETH M. KLEIST, Deceased.

The claim must be presented within the later of: (1) thirty days after the Personal Representative served or mailed the notice to the creditor as provided under RCW 11.40.020(3); or (2) four months after the date of first publication of the notice.

CITY OF KENT PUBLIC NOTICE TO CONSULTANTS REQUEST FOR STATEMENTS OF QUALIFICATIONS (SOQ) Pursuant to Chapter 39.80 RCW, the City of Kent solicits the interest of qualified Architects, Engineers and Professional Consultants to provide services during the 2012 calendar year for projects involving the following

The extended hours will feature on-site promotions and sweepstakes, including the ultimate Black Friday VIP Shopping Experience for one lucky shopper and eight friends.

medication and lifestyle changes.

Exercise has been shown to help with stress management and can have positive effects on anxiety reduction as well. So can dietary changes.

“Eating too much of the wrong kind of foods produces an inflammation effect that can cause disease in the brain,” said Dr. David

Heber, director of the Center for Human Nutrition at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA).

Sufferers from chronic anxiety have reported that cutting back on starchy foods and eating more fresh fruits and vegetables has made a significant difference not only for their physical- but also their emotional well-being.

As far as the sweepstakes, from now until Nov. 21 people can enter to win the ultimate Black Friday Midnight Party Package for one lucky shopper and eight friends.

Winners will be notified by email the morning of Monday, Nov. 21.

Controlling and, if necessary, reducing consumption of caffeine and alcohol is equally as important. Caffeine can increase anxiety and trigger panic attacks.

While alcohol may make you feel more relaxed for the moment, it can also contribute to depression.

Relaxation techniques, yoga, meditation, breathing exercises, massage and

Shoppers will have real-time access to highlights and updates throughout the day via Facebook at www.facebook. com/WestfieldSC.

other soothing treatments are all highly recommended to counterbalance anxiety. They may not always suffice, but they are always helpful. Just by being able to turn off the noise once in a while, both body and mind can relax, heal and rejuvenate.

Join a holiday scavenger hunt The Kent Downtown Partnership is planning a week-long Holiday Scavenger Hunt to bring people to downtown Kent to celebrate the holidays.

Meeker St. The community is invited to attend.

ent’s downtown carousel begins its sixth holiday season on Friday, Nov. 25.

The carousel will operate from 4-9 p.m. Nov. 25 at Town Square Plaza on the corner of Second Avenue and Harrison Street. The cost is a suggested $1 donation per ride.

After opening day, the hours are 4-8 p.m. Fridays, noon to 8 p.m. Saturdays, and 1-5 p.m. Sundays. “Bonus Days� will take advantage of the holiday school break with hours 4-8 p.m. Dec. 19-23, and noon to 8 p.m. Christmas Eve. Hours are subject to change during inclement weather.

Musical performances are planned to make the carousel both a destination and a continuing family tradition.

The classic Venetian-style carousel has 19 beautifully painted, carved horses and three special seats, designed by the famous Bertazzon Carousel Company of Italy. It is fully accessible.

In 2006, the Kent Parks Foundation invited the public to purchase the “naming rights� for individual carousel horses. These funds, along with donations from other sources, helped the foundation purchase the carousel, which was then given to the city of Kent.

The city of Kent is once again partnering with two non-profit organizations that will operate the carousel as a fundraiser. This season they are both from Kent-Meridian High School, the Filipino-American Club and the Volleyball Boosters Club. Proceeds raised from the suggested $1 donation per ride will support the two groups.

Pheobe Falzone, 5, rides the holiday carousel last year during the opening night. CHARLES CORTES, Kent Reporter The Filipino-American Club is a service and cultural club that also helps non-Filipino students learn about Filipino heritage and language. Club members serve meals to the less fortunate and send boxes of donated items to the people of the Philippines in the wake of natural disasters there. Members learn to perform ethnic dances and they cook and sell ethnic Filipino food at the high school.

The Volleyball Boosters Club supports and promotes the Kent-Meridian volleyball program by uniting students, parents, coaches, and the community in a way that enhances school spirit, boosts morale, and offers financial support through fundraising and donations.
