The city of Kent will serve three West Hill property owners with a correction letter in connection with an illegal topping of more than two dozen large trees last fall on city property. Property owners were expected CITY OF to receive the letter by the end of the week, said Tami Perdue, city chief prosecuting attorney, in a phone interview Tuesday. The property is along a steep slope near Reith Road in the area of South 253rd Street and 42nd Avenue South. The correction letter is the first step in the city’s code enforcement process, said Perdue, who is overseeing the investigation. Property owners will have 30 days
Many educators in Kent say they can’t wait until 2018 to receive the funds they need to properly educate their students. “Our teachers are doing they best they can with the limited resources they are given, FUNDING but any more cuts schools will hurt our students’ education,” said Antonio Morales, Mill Creek Middle School principal. “We can’t sit back and say, ‘well this funding will come in 2018,’ we need to be proactive now.” This discussion follows a decision made Jan. 5 by the Washington State Supreme Court, who ruled in favor of a lower court’s finding that the government is failing to meet its constitutional [ more RULING page 16 ]

Homeless: A view from the streets BY DENNIS BOX dbox@kentreporter.com
H
omelessness – it is a word, a tragedy and an issue that reflects the complex problems facing our region, state and nation. Every school district, city and community has homeless adults and children living in a nearly invisible world of streets, parking lots, doorways, porches and cars.
Kent, as the sixth largest city in the state, has had a fast-growing population of homeless people since the Great Recession hit in 2008. There are government officials, religious and humanitarian groups trying to bring assistance to those who have fallen on tough times. This story is the first of a threepart series on homelessness and living on the streets in and around Kent.

The committee would work in the community with the homeless and help deal with complexities of the issue including health, personal care and getting a job. “There are so many things we could do as a group,” Schwartz said. “It’s about putting back into the community.” Schwartz said his estimate is the current population of homeless in Kent is more than 400 — and growing.

GUESS WHO MOVED IN BEFORE WINTER HIT?

On the morning of Jan. 2, Schwartz was standing in front of his salon talking with Orville Tate and a man who requested his name not be used, and he will be referred to as J.T. Tate and J. T. were picking up the clothes Schwartz had washed to pass out to others. Tate said he had been homeless since 2009. He is 51 years old, has been married three times and has a grown daughter and step-children. His last divorce was in 2005. “What got me into this was the job I was working at in Redmond, they closed the plant down,� Tate said. After he lost his job Tate began retraining for wastewater treatment employment, but the school ran out of funding before he could get certification. “I was on unemployment, but I was on extensions and everything was running out,� Tate said. He said he worked as a warehouseman for 25 years and served four years in the Navy as an enlisted serviceman. Tate first went to the Maple Valley Food Bank and Emergency Services for help and the Catholic Community Service. He lived in a shelter for a period of time.
Tate did not want to tell where he was staying now, but, said since April he has been out on the streets. “I’ve been fortunate where I’m staying at that it is dry and warm,â€? Tate said. “I have my sleeping bag and a couple of blankets and with Wade (Schwartz) helping out doing laundry for us‌. I stay warm at night.â€? J.T.’s story is different in many respects, but similar in others. He came from California for a job and the company went bankrupt after three months. “Every check he gave me bounced,â€? J.T. said. “That basically put me backwards and it took me awhile to find a replacement job, which I’ve got now. I’m back to work.â€? J.T. has a bachelor’s and master’s degrees and has been back to work for about a year. He has a home and spends much of his off hours assisting others who are homeless. J.T’s perspective on life in the streets is considerably different from many. “The biggest problem with the homeless is they have nothing to do,â€? J.T. said. “One of the problems is boredom. Boredom brings out problems.â€? Next week: A view from the streets

Understanding the earthquake puzzle
LOCAL
An earthquake isn’t an equal-opportunity shaker. So to determine how a quake’s power differs across the Puget Sound region, scientists are setting up sensitive monitoring equipment in someplace solid, such as a house basement, to track that power as part of the NetQuakes project. A handful of seismographs have been installed in Renton and Kent, where soils, topography and the ground rupture itself all play a role in how a quake affects buildings. “We discovered in the Nisqually quake and other quakes around the world that ground motion can vary pretty dramatically from neighborhood to neighborhood,� said Bill Steele, Seismology Lab coordinator for the Pacific Northwest Seismograph Network. Monitoring of the State Route 167 corridor has been emphasized, because of a lack of monitoring stations to track ground motion, he said. There were some groundmotion stations in 2001 that monitored the Nisqually quake, but not in Renton and Kent, he said. In that quake, a production building at the Boeing plant in Renton was red-tagged, he said. But scientists didn’t have a direct measurement of the ground motion there. “We want to begin filling in so that doesn’t happen again,� he said. The network, run out of the UW Seismology Lab, is looking for volunteers in the Auburn area, where there are currently no NetQuakes seismographs. The equipment uses a wireless router to send the measurements to a U.S.
BEFORE AN EARTHQUAKE
About 100 monitoring sites take measurements of ground motion throughout the Puget Sound region. Courtesy graphic Geological Survey facility in California, then almost immediately to the UW lab in Seattle. The USGS oversees the NetQuakes program nationally and provides the equipment. Ideally, scientists would like one of the strongmotion monitors every kilometer or roughly every two-thirds of a mile in the urban Puget Sound region. A national plan calls for 600 strong-motion monitors in then Puget Sound region; right now there are about 100. “We have a long ways to go,� Steele said. Each year the network is allocated a certain number of seismographs. NetQuakes continues to look for volunteers to host the small monitoring equipment, which is anchored to something solid in a house or business. “The idea is to involve citizens in the science,� he said. Interest in the science is what drew Sarah Markham of Renton to volunteer to host one of a seismograph in the basement of her north Renton home. “I could do that,� she said, after learning about
the program. Her home is not far from Lake Washington and Boeing’s Renton production plant. Her location helps fill in the gap that Steele mentioned near the Boeing plant. The wireless router that sends data to the USGS sits in her living room. The blue seismograph is anchored to the basement floor next to the furnace in her home, built in 1920. Markham is a fairly recent resident of Renton. Her family has deep roots in Illwaco, on the Washington coast. There the concern was a tsunami from the Pacific. She has never experienced an earthquake. In 1986, her family fled to higher ground after an Alaska quake triggered a tsunami warning across the Pacific. Several factors are considered in locating a seismograph. Ideally, it’s a single-family dwelling with a concrete slab lying directly on the ground and not a deep basement. The geographic location is important, including the floor of a valley or a ridge, so scientists can understand the impact of a quake on

Kent man arrested after kicking his wife glass and empty beer cans and a telephone cord had been torn out of the wall.
BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com
Kent Police arrested a man for investigation of fourthdegree assault after he allegedly kicked and punched his wife in the face during a dispute over another woman at about 10 a.m. Jan. 3 at the Days Inn motel, 1711 W. Meeker St. The husband and wife are transients who were staying at the motel and have been married for about one year, according to the police report. A cleaning lady saw the wife crying in a room and the woman asked her to call the police. When two officers and a motel employee knocked on the door to the room, nobody answered. The employee opened the door with a key and the husband reportedly charged the door and started to yell at police. Officers called for a backup unit because of the man’s aggressive behavior. The wife told officers she and her husband argued because he reportedly had sexual relations with another woman in the room the night before. She said her husband became upset and kicked and hit her in the face. Police noted the woman had bruises on her face and lips. The husband told officers he had a relationship with another woman and his wife found out. He claimed the other woman hit his wife. Officers noted that the room was covered with broken
BURGLARY Officers arrested a man for investigation of burglary, fourth-degree assault, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia after he allegedly kicked in the door at his former girlfriend’s apartment Jan. 3 in the 11500 block of Southeast 223rd Street. The couple had not lived together since breaking up in September, according to the police report. The woman told officers the ex-boyfriend kicked in her door and accused her of being with another man. He then took her phone and started to call people and accuse them of being with his ex-girlfriend the night before. The boyfriend denied that he kicked in the door or even stopped by the apartment. He said the woman had a history of calling 911 and making false claims. The boyfriend had a no contact order to protect him from the woman.
THEFT Police arrested a man for investigation of third-degree theft after he reportedly took items at about 3:30 p.m. Jan. 4 from the Fred Meyer store, 25250 Pacific Highway S. Store security stopped the man in the parking lot after he placed items in a shoulder bag and walked out of the store with no attempt to pay for the items, according to the police report.
The man told security that he had no money and was hungry. Store security recognized the man who had taken beer and catfish previously from the store. Officers also arrested the man for a DUI warrant out of Kent.
ASSAULT Officers arrested a man for investigation of fourthdegree assault after he allegedly slapped a former girlfriend as they walked along a sidewalk at about 5:15 p.m. Jan. 5 in the 400 block of First Avenue N. A witness called 911 to report that a man had slapped or punched a woman near the bus transfer station, according to the police report. When officers located the woman, she told them she had met her former boyfriend after his court date and they argued about her decision to end their relationship. He allegedly grabbed her by the hair and slapped her in the face. The man told police they argued about money. He said he had raised his hand and yelled at the woman, but did not slap her. When asked by an officer why witnesses would make up a story about him hitting the woman, he replied he had no idea why they would lie about that.

Fight breaks out at Kent’s ShoWare A fight broke out between two men inside of Kent’s ShoWare Center after the women’s Lingerie Football League game Friday night. Two officers working security at the game between the Seattle Mist and the Minnesota Valkyrie were on an upper floor landing when they spotted a fight erupt on the main floor in the lobby area after the game, according to an email from Kent Police Cmdr. Pat Lowery. The officers moved toward the disturbance, waded through a large crowd and determined the two involved in the fight were fleeing toward exterior doors. Other officers in the arena located and detained the two, a 27-year-old Woodinville man and a 29-year-old Monroe man. After further investigation by police, a primary or initial

aggressor could not be determined. Neither man was injured and neither one would cooperate with the investigation beyond apologizing for the disturbance, Lowery said. Officers were unable to determine what or who started the fight. Officers escorted both men from the arena and released them. No arrests were made. A sellout crowd attended the game. The Mist won 32-14. This marked at least the second fight in two years following a Lingerie Football League game in Kent. Extra police officers were called to help break up a fight during an Oct. 8, 2010 game at the ShoWare Center. No arrests were made after that incident that involved several fans after a man reportedly yelled a racial slur at another fan. The ShoWare Center is the home field for the Mist. The league features scantily clad women playing seven-onseven tackle football. This is the third year the league has played at the arena with two home games per season.

Jack Palmer Olson 1922 -2011
Jack P. Olson was born June 13, 1922 and passed away December 30, 2011 at his home in Centralia, WA at the age of 89. He was born in Seattle, WA to Martha Fay (Palmer) and Albert Olson. Jack’s family moved to the Kent valley in the mid 1920’s where he attended the Thomas School and graduated from Kent High School in 1941. After graduation he worked for the the Dept. of Fisheries, and in the fall of 1942 Jack enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard where he served until 1946. After his service, he worked with his brother and brothers-in law commercial fishing in Alaska. He then worked for City Transfer in Kent, then had a dairy farm in Enumclaw, Auburn and Ellensburg. He returned to Kent in 1958 and began working for Pozzi Brothers. He remained in Kent until moving to Centralia in 1997. He and Pat, his wife of 55 years, spent many years hunting, fishing, clam digging and traveling. Those activities took them to Alaska several times, and on many trips to Mexico, to Europe and all around the United States. Many of these trips were taken with good friends and with family members. Family was very important to Jack and since he came from such a large family their trips always included stops at the homes of siblings, cousins, and nieces and nephews homes along their way. On March 13, 1948 Jack married Patricia Speece in Kent, WA. They were separated by her passing in 2003. Jack is survived by his daughters Susan Bailey, Christine Morris, daughter and son-in-law Nancy and Don Gates, 2 grandsons Trever and Kale Gray, and 23 nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by 9 siblings; Albert Olson, Alice Flaherty, Diane Lynch, Robert Olson, Marjorie Hussey, John Ziltener, Jean McCutchen, Mary Sutter and Patrick Ziltener. And also by niece Doreen Bowington, nephews John Olson and Mike Ziltener. Jack and his wife Pat’s ashes will be interned at Tahoma National Cemetery, Kent, WA on Friday, January 20th at 12:30 pm. A reception luncheon to celebrate Jack’s life will be held at the Kent Senior Center at 1:30 pm. In lieu of flowers a memorial donation to Visiting Nurses Foundation (Hospice) is suggested.

A POCKETFUL FULL OF PENS - OR NOT I have one more Christmas note before I wrap up the yuletide season of 2011. I ran into a Christmas fashion crises shortly after the dawn of the new year. I realize the word fashion probably isn’t necessarily the first thing associated with me, but let me continue. My daughter, Katy, decided her dad not only knows nothing, but can no longer dress himself.
Significance of a black councilman I was asked by community residents to write about the historical significance of Bill Boyce, a black man, having been elected to the Kent City Council. Jack Becvar, of the Greater Kent Historical Society, confirmed that Bill Boyce was the first black man to be elected to the Kent council. For many, who would prefer to try remaining colorblind, race, ethnicity, color, and all other physical characteristics shouldn’t matter; a person should be judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin. Judging people on the content of their character is a dream that is hopefully
ous problem. The shirt had no pocket. I couldn’t believe it – not even one. I thought only shirts designed for John Travolta came without pockets – at least one – the more the better. This one had none. I have things to put in my shirt pockets, like my dumb phone, pens, torn up pieces of paper with nothing on them. I called Katy and immediately started whining. I was informed she and her friend Tiffany decided this was the shirt I should wear and to stop being a baby. I was a mess all day, but somehow I survived. I walked around constantly trying to put my pen in my pocket and all it would do is fall to the floor. Finally, I decided to live through it. The next day I got up, put on another of the Christmas shirts… and sure enough no pocket. One was bad enough, here I am stuck with two useless shirts. I called Katy and asked if I could staple a pocket on the shirts. She was not what I call fashion supportive. I was sitting at the Covington City Council meeting Tuesday night taking a poll and all the men I saw had pockets, except me. And I am getting very little sympathy at the office for my plight. Apparently, I will be living a new life for 2012 as pocketless near Seattle.
shared by all, but electing a black man to the Kent City Council doesn’t mean the dream has become a reality. However, one reason the election of Bill Boyce is very significant, and a milestone in the city of Kent is because he was voted in by a predominance of white voters, like many other elections of people of color. Such elections makes a clear statement about how far we, that is the American people and the citizens of Kent, have come in terms of acknowledging and successfully working through some of our racial issues that continue to haunt us from the past. Many people want to forget the past because the past may bring back bad memories in our personal lives and in the life of our country. Even if we are successful in not knowing the past or not bringing up the past, the past is a living and vital part of who we are today. Only by knowing the past can we truly understand and appreciate our
present life circumstances as individuals and as a people on the North American continent; and we have a greater chance of influencing a more positive future for us all. With knowledge of the past we can more fully appreciate events like the election of Bill Boyce. All this sounds like something a student of history and teacher of history would say, but it’s also true. Let’s spare readers a detailed history lesson. Suffice it to say that in the context of the history of the United States of America, only a short time ago, a person the color of Bill Boyce could have been shot if he tried to vote, not to mention if he tried to run for city council. A lot of things have changed since those days. The election of Bill Boyce says that the people of Kent selected him, even against the maneuvers of others who tried to control election outcomes with propaganda, money, and the

Katy decided she would take it upon herself to buy me clothes that “fit.” God save me. I tried to convince her I prefer everything I wear to have air space for safety reasons. Lots of air space. According to “Little Miss Know Everything” I am supposed to wear things that fit according to her. OK. I put up with her theory, which I never really listened to because I was secretly planning to wear whatever I wanted once she went back to college. The first crises came on Christmas Day when she tried to toss out all my old clothes. I nearly had a stroke. These are shirts and pants I broke in years ago. They had all the air spaces in the right places. As a bargaining chip I agreed to wear her shirts right after New Year’s Day. I was reminded I violated the father oath when she was about 4 or 5. She wanted to watch Mary Poppins on tape (for the 10,000th time). I told her a slightly altered version of reality. I said the tape was just not working, sorry honey, we will just have to watch the darn Super Bowl. Some nefarious do-gooder told her the truth and it has been used against me ever since. OK, back to the clothes. Because I didn’t want to be accused of oath breaking again, the first day after the holidays I put on the shirt she got me. It took me a while to realize there was a seri-

Question of the week:
ome of us know how to take it easy. Ron Harmon, who retired from the Kent City Council after two terms, is less visible these days, but he has not exactly put the engine in neutral. On Christmas morning at about 5 a.m. he could’ve been seen slipping into the Kent Police Station with a Santa bag full of with blueberry muffins. Every Christmas for the past seven years Harmon has made it a tradition to bake eight or nine dozen batches of blueberry muffins on Christmas Eve and deliver them to the police officers around the change of shift. Harmon starts cooking early the morning of Christmas Eve. “I’ve inherited some large muffin pans and it takes me about three hours in the kitchen,” Harmon said. “It’s a labor of love.” He makes a couple of dozen at a time using the Krusteaz blueberry muffin mix, which he said was his favorite. The next step is delivering the muffins to the station to outgoing shift and incoming officers. “They’re working on Christmas Day so I try to bring them a little bit of sunshine,” Harmon said. In his off time now that he has left the council dais, Harmon spends more time enjoying his three grandchildren, Matthew, 6, Hayden, 5 and Isabella, 3. “I’m trying to stay out of the influence business,” Harmon said. “I only speak when asked. I am reacquainting myself with flying.” He flies a 1947 Cessna 120. “It’s not as old as I am,” he said. The life of leisure according to Ron Harmon – sounds pretty good.

Health benefits from indoor plants Dracaena is another houseplant with thin, elegant foliage and a contemporary vibe. This hard-to-kill indoor plant comes in many forms including the colorful Red Edge and compact Janet Craig.
Who would suspect the common mum of being such a hard worker when it comes to cleaning up the air quality? Of all the plants tested by NASA, it was the chrysanthemum that removed all three of the most common indoor pollutants. The next time you’ll feeling ill, bring home a potted mum as well as medications for your treatment.
CLEAN AIR
NOW FOR THE GOSSIP
Grow these jungle plants with bold, broad leaves Just give peace lily a chance if you’ve failed with houseplants in the past. This upright houseplant or Spathiphyllum waves a hanky-shaped white bloom when it is given a lot of light but even if your home or office is dark and dreary this survivor will continue to thrive. The peace lily will even forgive you for irregular watering, unlike the more finicky tree-like houseplant the weeping fig. Ficus or weeping fig is often sold as large, potted indoor trees and once established and adapted to your home a ficus can live for many years with few problems; the key here is getting a new weeping fig tree to adapt to a new location. Leaves turn yellow and fall off every time this plant is moved or experiences a change in environment. If you are lacking floor space for your indoor jungle use hanging plants like golden pathos or heart-leaved philodendrons. These plants can also be grouped at the base of a ficus tree to cover the pot and convert a reading corner into an area free of indoor pollutants.
Gerber daisies are the new darlings of wedding shows and interior designers because the bold, bright colors are hard to miss. But I must pass along that Gerber daisy are difficult to grow both indoors and out and sometimes those remarkable color tones are enhanced by paint, dyes and even glitter. Buy a potted Gerber daisy if you must, but I have killed too many of these divas to have any warm and friendly feelings towards them. Yes, mean-spirited indeed.
MID-CENTURY MODERN AND POLITICALLY INCORRECT: SANSEVERIA OR MOTHER-IN-LAW’S TONGUE This is a sleek, slender houseplant that sends lance-like green and yellow leaves straight to the sky. Out of respect for kind mother-in-laws everywhere, the new common name for this contemporary-looking houseplant is now the snake plant. All Sanseverias will thrive even in low light as long as you don’t over water. Place a snake plant inside a sleek, metallic pot, display it on a pedestal and you have living modern art.
Musicians to perform in Kent COWBOYS MAKE THEIR WAY TO KENT Jeffery Broussard and the Creole Cowboys will perform at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 20 at the Kent-Meridian Performing Arts Center, 10020 S.E. 256th St. Broussard has gained the reputation as one of the greatest accordion players and vocalists to come out of the Creole culture, according to a city of Kent Spotlight Series media release. Broussard’s musical career spans 40 years (he started playing drums in his father’s renowned band at the age of 8). He sings with emotion and soul, and his instrumental prowess includes range seldom seen in Zydeco – from traditional songs from the old masters to originals, single note and triple note accordion to fiddle. The New York Times lauded the Creole Cowboys as “fabulous: You start moving in your seat as soon as their rhythmic, rich melodies, both joyous and mournful, flood the theater.�

Obituary
The Compleat Home Gardener
The second week of January has seen the Christmas decorations finally packed away so there is room to improve your indoor space. Speaking of space, it was NASA that confirmed what gardeners have suspected all along – indoor plants are good for your health. Certain houseplants actually clean and purify polluted indoor air. Some houseplants do this better than others. To really make a dent in the volatile organic compounds of benzene, formaldehyde and trichloroethylene, NASA recommends 14 to 16 houseplants in at least 6-inch pots for the average-sized home. So if you have a few larger houseplants you can get away with a fewer number. The good news is the houseplants that do best indoors all year long are also the ones most efficient at grabbing and filtering bad indoor air.

The main focus of the event will be a two-part silent auction and a live auction. For more information, contact Lois Maier, Events Manager at 253-854-5660 or lois@dynamicpartners.org.
The total cost of the projects on the list is $159 million, a reduction of nearly $463 million compared to last year. The list includes 35 projects and programs ranging from street, bicycle, pedestrian, traffic signal and transit improvements to street maintenance and preservation projects. According to Councilmember Debbie Raplee, the TIP incorporates recommendations by the Citizen Advisory Committee. Raplee, who serves as Chair of the Public Works Committee said the group met 11 times during a four-month period last summer and fall. “I appreciate the Citizen Advisory Committee working with staff to identify key priorities, as well as projects that can be deferred,� Raplee said. “The revised list is very much in line with today’s economic reality.� Composed of volunteers from the business community, the Citizen Advisory Committee will continue to review transportation issues as funding becomes available and projects move forward.

CHILDREN’S THERAPY HOSTS AUCTION
The Kent City Council adopted the city’s sixyear Transportation Improvement Program for 2012 to 2017 for a variety of proposed projects. The TIP is a state-mandated transportation planning document that lists Kent’s needed transportation projects and the expected revenue sources to pay for them, as well as those projects without complete funding, slated for as far out as six years, according to a Dec. 14 city media release. Steve Mullen, city transportation engineering manager, said for projects to receive state and federal money they must first be adopted in the six-year plan. Therefore, projects selected for the TIP must straddle a line of local need and the project’s ability to attract other money. “What we do is look at projects and we try to choose the high priorities but also projects that are good grant funding candidates,� Mullen said. “It’s more important than ever to look for grants given the decline in funding sources for transportation projects.� Projects on the six-year program are generated from a larger list that was developed for the city’s Transportation Master Plan. Mullen said the transportation plan is supposed to be an annual reality check when the city reconciles its current transportation needs with the available funding.

There is more to the practice of law than television’s depictions of high courtroom drama and criminal behavior. In fact, most people need the services of attorneys when preparing wills or trusts, or for a divorce. Lawyers are also experts in the matters of drawing up and reviewing contracts as well as setting up corporations and other business entities. Attorneys may be called upon to initiate or defend civil suits that involve a range of wrongdoing, including personal injury. In future columns, we will show you how to put yourself on the right side of the law. I would like to welcome you to my weekly legal column. I hope you find upcoming installments to be both useful and informative. I provide personal service and experienced advice in estate planning and elder law, as well as real estate and probate issues. I have more than 38 years experience and will handle your case personally. Please call 425-227-8700 to schedule an initial appointment at one of our offices conveniently located in Renton and Kent.

Clearly the experts, who often get paid for their opinions, don’t really know who “the right people� are in Kent. For the record, in the city of Kent, as well as in the nation, “the right people� are the voters of all colors and backgrounds, not some expert’s opinion of who the right people are.

else could it be? A rising tide of justice lifts all boats. That’s universal law. As some would say, that’s God’s law. It’s the times in which we live Although it is the times we live in that has given rise to individual achievement such as the achievement of Bill Boyce becoming a Kent city council member, we must also acknowledge that it takes certain kinds of individuals to step up and take advantage of what the times has to offer.
January 13, 2012 People learned a lot about Bill Boyce during the election and before, so there is no need to repeat his credentials here except to say; he is a well prepared leader, with a strong and simultaneously cordial personality; he has a great sense of humor; and a flawless character. Plus, he understands how to work with the city’s leadership, both political and bureaucratic leadership, to represent all citizens of Kent. After talking with Bill Boyce this morning he
seems excited about his appointments as chair of the Public Safety Committee, an area where he feels a great deal of passion; the Economic Development Committee; and his representation on the Regional Fire Authority. Bill Boyce is a great addition to the city of Kent’s leadership team. Like in other parts of the region and the country, his election is a wonderful sign of our times, of which we all should be proud to be American.

Kent-Meridian caps off week of surprises with big win BY KRIS HILL
khill@covingtonreporter.com
KENTWOOD GRADUATE EARNS VOLLEYBALL HONORS Northern Arizona University volleyball junior outside hitter Lauren Campbell has been named to the 2011 Capital One Academic AllAmerica Division I Volleyball third team, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America. Campell graduated from Kentwood High.
In the tough South Puget Sound League North division, anyone can beat anyone in boys basketball, and last week was a prime example. Kent-Meridian continued the trend on Tuesday when it avenged an early season loss to Mount Rainier with a 75-73 win over the division leaders. The Royals, led by Mike Banks with 21 points, took sole possession of first place in the SPSL North with the victory over the Rams. A trio of K-M players — Gary Bailey, Abu Kamara and Martel Taylor-Barone — offered the kind of offensive balance the team needed as they each chipped in a dozen points. Kentridge set the stage on Jan. 6 and did what Kentwood nearly pulled off a few days earlier: an upset of highly-touted Mount Rainier, winning 80-72, thanks to Jawan Stepney’s game-high of 26 points. The Chargers sophomores led the way against the Rams, with Danny Torlai adding 19 to Stepney’s output, along with junior John Okot-Okidi chipping in 17 points. It was a back and forth first half between Kentridge and Mount Rainier. The Rams took a one point lead into halftime and the Chargers kept it close through the third quarter. Then Kentridge broke out in the final period, outscoring Mount Rainier 27-19. That win opened the door for Kent-Meridian to challenge for the
division as it stood at 6-2 in league play, the same mark Mount Rainier was at following the loss to Kentridge, but the Royals lost early in the season to the Rams. Kent-Meridian won the rematch Tuesday to move into sole possession of first place with a 7-2 record. Mount Rainier is 6-3. Meanwhile, Kentwood very nearly pulled off an upset of highly-touted Mount Rainier on Jan. 4, but squandered at 12 point third-quarter lead, as the Rams beat the Conks 64-62 at Kentwood. With four minutes, 21 seconds left in the third quarter, the Conks had the double digit lead thanks to a Taylor Jones layin but the Rams chipped away at the lead the rest of the period. In the fourth quarter, Kentwood went cold, going nearly four minutes between buckets while Mount Rainier went on a 10-3 run. Jeremy Smith drained a three pointer with 6.7 seconds left to cut the Mount Rainier lead to one point, 62-61, but Kentwood just couldn’t get the game tied up or take back the lead. Jones and Austin Benson were the leading scorers for the Conks with 18 points each. Adrian Davis led the Rams with 20. Kent-Meridian’s win over Mount Rainier is all the sweeter after a surprise loss to Tahoma, the Royals only game last week. [ more SURPRISES page 15 ]

Dominic Smith and Coleman Wooten led Tahoma with 9 points each. Finally, Kentlake put together a pair of key victories last week against league rivals Kentridge and Thomas Jefferson. Kentlake found a way to win after being down early at home to Kentridge, putting together a strong second half for the 64-59 victory. At the end of the first quarter, the Falcons were down 22-11 to the Chargers, as they struggled to get points in the paint. At the 5:23 mark in the

his work ethic and leadership and is a great addition for us at this time.” Wagner, a 20-year-old from Duffield, Alberta, was previously with the Portland Winterhawks. He appeared in 17 games with the Winterhawks this season and had seven points on three goals and four assists.

local levies to keep us going, since eventually our taxpayers will get sick of it.” Many principals and teachers stated any amount of cuts will have negative impacts on their schools. “I do not know what the impact on the cuts will have on our school at this time, but any cuts to education hurt children and our future,” said Sherilyn Ulland, Kent Elementary principal. Some educators feel their schools are operating well despite cuts and the long wait for education support. “In a perfect world,us educators would get all we believe we need; but times are tough, not just for educators, but all around the state,” said Kentwood High School’s principal Doug Hostetter. “So I believe that when the economy picks up, tax revenues will pick up and schools will start receiving the money they need.” Hostetter used the current state SAT scores to demonstrate the success of students despite cuts. Last year, Washington state Kindergarten through 12th grade students received an average score of 524 for reading, 532 for math, 508 for writing and 23 for composite, according to the OSPI website. “I think that education is a large system and in any large system there are inefficiencies,” Hostetter said. “The success of our students academically is due to this lack of funding because it’s created opportunities for educators to think of different ways to provide services to our students. I believe our public schools are doing more with less.” Hostetter stated he hoped there were no more education cuts and wishes the state could provide more money to schools.

duty to fully fund basic education for all the state’s children. The justices said they could monitor the Legislature to help facilitate progress toward full funding, but the ruling did not require lawmakers to take specific or immediate action. Instead, the court deferred to legislation already on the books from as late as the 1978 to as current as 2007, which gives the state until 2018 to provide enough funding to meet its own definition of “basic education.” “I find it interesting how long this conversation has been in our court system and we’ve continued to see increased cuts in our funding every year,” said Kathy Torres, math teacher at Mill Creek. “One of the main reasons we can’t wait until 2018 to get proper funding for education is that we need to consider the students we have now. They will be graduated from high school in 2015 and they will be 21 years old in 2018. What about their education?” Torres said many teachers feel they don’t have the necessary items they need in the classroom. “We are continuously being asked to do more with less funds and then allocate those funds to specific areas,” She said. “Most teachers, not just in Washington sate, but across the country just don’t have the educational resources we need to keep up with the changing times.” Torres pointed out the school has to rely on local levies to keep their technology up-to-date. “We are blessed to be able to provide each of our students with their own personal laptops that help them succeed academically,” Morales interjected. “But, we can’t rely on those
