Students charged in incident at Kentlake

BD council authorizes suit against YarrowBay

A pair of Kentlake High School students who allegedly brought a gun to school on April 3 were charged by the King County Prosecutor’s Office on April 6 with unlawful possession of a firearm in the second degree as well as unlawful possession of a deadly firearm at school.

According to the probable cause documents provided by the prosecutor’s office, Kentlake administrators learned around 10 a.m. that a student was suspected of bringing a gun to school.

Because both boys are minors the Reporter is not identifying them.

According to Dan Donahoe, spokesman for the prosecutor’s office, the sentence range for the two charges is up to 60 days in Juvenile Detention, or up to 30 days per count.

School security officers briefed a deputy on what they knew then Kentlake Principal Joe Potts provided additional information shortly after that.

Deputies removed one boy from his classroom.

It must be high noon in Black Diamond because the lawsuits appear to be in the holsters and ready to be drawn.

The Black Diamond City Council approved a resolution Thursday, April 5, authorizing Mayor Rebecca Olness to file a lawsuit against YarrowBay. The text stated the resolution “authorizes the mayor to file a lawsuit for a preparatory judgement and other appropriate relief seeking an initial determination that MPD (master planned development) application PLD-110020 and PLD-11-0021 are invalid or should otherwise be rejected.”

The resolution passed unanimously.

The proposed lawsuit involves duplicate master planned development applications for The Villages and Lawson Hills filed by YarrowBay at the end of 2011 that were accepted as complete by the city staff.

The first MPD permits for The Villages and Lawson Hills were approved unanimously by the City Council in September 2010.

Fishing derby goes beyond the catch on the end of the line

BY KRIS HILL khill@maplevalleyreporter.com

N

early a decade ago Sue VanRuff had some concerns about planning the fishing derby.

“We had just invaded Iraq in March of 2003,” VanRuff said. “We were a little hesitant. Should we do this?”

VanRuff, executive director of the Greater Maple Valley-Black Diamond Chamber of Commerce, said that first year coordinating

the event brought many challenges among which was timing.

Yet, the chamber members found it was perfect timing, VanRuff said.

“We discovered at that time the value of a simple community event that everybody can enjoy,” she said. “What was true then is still true now.”

As this year’s Hooked on Fishing opening day trout derby, as it’s officially known, approaches Van-

Ruff said the lessons the chamber learned in its first year organizing the event have informed its planning since.

“We silk screened some special T-shirts this year so the logo is a little bit different to celebrate those 10 years,” VanRuff said.

“Other than that, everything is staying the same. We build on that success. We’re not changing the formula.”

There are a few minor tweaks, however, to the event which happens April 27-28 at Lake Wilderness Park in Maple Valley.

For example, campers can set up tents in the park at 4 p.m., an [ more DERBY page 7 ]

5XP XPSMET collide JO ,FOUMBLF NVTJDBM “Beauty and the Beast� brings together actors and ballet dancers on one stage

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@covingtonreporter.com

The story told in “Beauty and the Beast� is one of two worlds colliding, yet somehow finding harmony in the end.

In the same way, Kentlake’s production of the 1991 Disney film and Broadway musical is a joint effort between two separate realms within the performing arts world, drama and ballet, with the Maple Valley School of Ballet stepping in to lend its talent to Kentlake’s drama department.

In a similar manner, many of the cast members come with vastly different backgrounds, ranging from those relatively new to the world of theater to ballet dancers who have been in slippers since they were old enough to walk.

FROM THE BATTER’S BOX TO THE STAGE For junior Daniel DiLeonardo baseball was practically a religion in his family. Having played since he was young, he spent his youth participating in club leagues and on select teams.

This continued when he arrived at Kentlake, where he played catcher for the Falcons, in addition to basketball during the winter.

Yet, privately, DiLeonardo was slowly losing interest in the sport. “I felt like I was playing for my friends, for my parents, so it wasn’t as fun,� he said.

At the same time, he discovered he had an interest in performing after acting as the master of ceremonies for the Mr. Kentlake contest. It was then that he started to think of participating in a drama production, but felt too selfconscious. “I’ve always played sports,� he said. “I was always afraid I’d get made fun of.�

During the winter, he stepped away from basketball in order to focus more on his studies, which included required arts class.

Seeing it as a the perfect opportunity to explore his interest in theater he enrolled in drama class. “It was the first time I had ever been on this side of the school before,� he joked.

At that time Drama Director Pam Cressey was working on the school’s production of “The Pajama Games� and encouraged him to audition. His audition eventually landed him the role of Prez and his first theatrical production.

Daniel DiLeonard, right, plays Lumiere in Kentlake’s spring production of “Beauty and the Beast.� To his right is senior Cait Callahan who is playing Babette. TJ MARTINELL, The Reporter Although he had wanted first time I had to sing I was to perform for years, like, ‘Everyone has to leave DiLeonardo said, there the room.

The board ruled the MPDs should have gone through a legislative rather than quasi-judicial process for approval and remanded them back to the city.

The state appeals court

XXX DPWJOHUPOSFQPSUFS DPN t XXX NBQMFWBMMFZSFQPSUFS DPN unanimously overturned the board’s decision.

Toward Responsible Development filed a petition for review with the state Supreme Court and a decision whether the court will accept the petition is expected April 24, according to the YarrowBay letter.

The Supreme Court is not required to render a decision on that date.

According to earlier statements, YarrowBay filed the second applications in case the court decisions

Finally DiLeonardo told his parents that he decided to give up baseball. Their reaction, he said, was much more positive than he had feared. “My parents were kind of skeptical,� he said. “But they grew to love it as much as I have.�

DiLeonardo audition for the part of Gaston in the production, but was ultimately cast as Lumière, the French maĂŽtre d’hĂ´tel/candelabra, whom he said he actually wanted to play most. “He’s really energetic and a ladies man,â€? he said. “’Be Our Guest’ is my favorite song in the show.â€?

To prepare for the role of Lumière, DiLeonardo said, he has watched both the previous school’s production as well as the animated film to properly capture the character’s strong accent. “I think it’s pretty good right now but obviously it could use some improvement,â€? he said.

With one more year left at Kentlake, DiLeonardo said, he plans to participate in next year’s drama productions.

At the Thursday meeting, following an executive session and prior to passing the resolution, Councilman Craig Goodwin read a letter from Brian Ross, YarrowBay’s chief executive officer.

That letter, dated April 4, had been sent to the council and mayor and dealt with the potential of the city filing the lawsuit.

The letter questioned why the city would decide to file a suit and noted the MPDs are approved and,

“YarrowBay will be moving forward.�

The letter stated, “YarrowBay is ready to aggressively use the Court system to enforce its property rights. Instead, litigation will only prevent the City from having meaningful input on behalf of its constituents on elements of the development.�

Ross wrote in the letter that YarrowBay will “not only defend this case, but will pursue all available counterclaims. We have not

like senior Madeleine Sutton, who has been dancing since she was 4 years old.

Unlike DiLeonardo, though, her entrance into performing arts was initiated by her parents. “I was a really awkward child,� she said. “My mom decided to do something to make me less awkward.�

Like DiLeonardo, however, Sutton has a natural passion for dancing that has kept her involved over the years.

She also plans to continue taking dance classes at Seattle University in the fall. “It just feels good to dance,� she said. “You don’t need anything else. You can dance without any props or singing.�

Sutton, who plays the part of the enchantress and a napkin, is a member of the Maple Valley School of Ballet. She also does Running Start through Green River Community College.

To prepare, the dancers began working on the choreography in January before they joined the rest of the cast in February, when auditions had just completed for the actors.

Incorporating ballet into a musical was a new experience, Sutton said. While in January they had the ballet school’s dance studio to practice in, with mirrors to help study and improve their movements, the Kentlake performing arts stage isn’t designed for ballet.

They also had to adjust to the world of Broadway musicals which approaches dancing from a very different

yet brought our claims for a variety of violations of the Open Public Meetings Act, but a lawsuit from the City will force our hand.�

The letter also stated YarrowBay could pursue damages for “intentionally delaying processing of the implementing permits for the MPD build-out.�

After Goodwin read the letter, Councilman Ron Taylor said, “We as a council have been wondering how we handle the duplicate MPD applica-

tions. It is certainly not the intention on my part to sue YarrowBay for damages or monetary relief or anything like that. We’d like to get an idea who is right. Are these second MPD applications right?�

Taylor said he thought the letter was “pretty bold.

I guess I call it blackmail.

Unless we play ball we get both barrels.�

Goodwin said the issue had nothing to do with the [ more SUIT page 6 ]

perspective.

Ballet choreography, Sutton said, tends to be more artistic and technical, while musicals emphasize showmanship and a particular emotion or attitude. “It’s (Beauty and the Beast) a little more sassy than regular ballet,� Sutton said of the production.

Additionally dancing, which encompasses the whole aspect of a ballet performance, is only one aspect of a musical. “It’s a shorter time (in a musical) and there’s a lot more going on at the same time (on stage),� Sutton said. “So you have to work hard to keep the attention on you.�

Though much of the drama cast had to learn the dance numbers, dancers like Sutton did not have any singing parts or significant amount of dialogue. “I dance for a reason,� she said with a laugh. “I don’t have a good singing voice and I’ve come to terms with it.�

Due to the extensive practices beforehand, Sutton said, they came prepared to handle their aspect of the production, while the drama cast has had to learn both their lines as well as the dance routine. “I try to help people, because we know who is doing what,� Sutton said. “So we try to help people know where we’re going to be (on the stage). It’s harder (to learn) for them because it’s harder to understand how your body moves.�

QFC Supports The Nature Conservancy’s Efforts to Protect Our Heritage Each month QFC is proud to support an organization that is making a positive impact on our community and our world.

In April, we are pleased to continue our association with The Nature Conservancy as our Charity of the Month. This is a partnership that goes back over 20 years. The Nature Conservancy is doing important work to preserve plant and animal biodiversity in every state in the U.S. and over 30 countries around the world.

For over a decade, The Nature Conservancy has been using a collaborative, sciencebased approach combined with key analytical methods to decide where to work and what to conserve. This approach is called Conservation by Design. The concepts of Conservation by Design include: setting goals and priorities, developing strategies, taking action and measuring results. Using these concepts, The Conservancy focuses on finding the highest priority solutions in places where they can have the greatest impact.

There are four priority targets in Washington which the Conservancy has been working on. These targets are: clean up Puget Sound, restore Washington Coast salmon

runs, restore forest lands in Eastern Washington and preserve Washington State sagelands.

The Nature Conservancy notes that “Puget Sound is slowly dying from toxic runoff, changes in the quality and quantity of fresh water, continued loss of natural shorelines and the effects of rising sea levels.� To clean up and protect the Sound, the Conservancy is working to reduce toxic runoff and to make conservation more profitable for for farmers, timber managers and shellfish growers, and the lands and waters they manage. It is working to protect and restore important rivers and shorelines to safeguard the clean water and habitat they provide.

The numbers of wild salmon on the Washington coast have plummeted over the last few decades. Salmon need the clear, cold waters of Northwest rivers in order to spawn and survive. Protecting salmon on the coast becomes possible by restoring and protecting the rivers where they spawn. Recently, the Conservancy purchased 3,088 acres in a corridor along the Clearwater River and plans to restore the forests along the river. This restoration work will provide jobs and create an

environment that will help in salmon recovery.

Restoring forests in eastern Washington is also one of the Conservancy’s priorities.

Large-scale restoration projects will help protect habitat for wildlife and strengthen the overall ecosystem to protect against mega-fires and insect outbreaks. The Conservancy works with local communities and with public and private managers across ownership boundaries to pursue beneficial forest management practices.

Washington’s sagelands contain hundreds of unique plant and animal species.

Unfortunately, two-thirds of these natural environments in Washington are gone due to ranching, agriculture or other development.

The Conservancy is working with farmers and ranchers to restore sagelands and to provide a place for wildlife to roam free.

The Nature Conservancy is working to preserve and protect our natural heritage for future generations. If you would like to contribute to their efforts you can do so at your local QFC during the month of April.

� Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K : To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them. — Richard Henry Lee, 1788

Guns tough talk for parents Every time I hear about a gun-related incident I sit back and try to understand the logic which led to the situation.

The recent one at Kentlake was no different.

While I was interviewing Kent School District spokesperson Chris Loftis, he made a good point. The incident was not a reflection of the school or the rest of the students.

At the same time I never quite know what to think when I learn another kid got caught with a gun at school. The worst thing I ever brought with me to school was candy.

It’s sort of like bringing a bottle of bourbon whiskey into a Baptist church and showing it around to everyone. There’s a time and place for everything, but, there’s also a time and place to not do it.

And some of them are kind of obvious.

Not bringing a gun onto school property like it’s for show and tell should also be a given — especially after Columbine.

What makes it worse is that Kentlake is in a more rural area, with a King County Sheriff ’s precinct station a few miles away that recently held a training lockdown at Tahoma Junior High in the event of a shooting, SWAT and all.

It was also the day after a shooting at a California college and the same day a Bremerton first grader was released from the hospital after being accidentally shot by a gun her classmate had brought to school in his backpack.

It just goes to show how things could have gone very badly if any information had been miscommunicated accidentally.

Maybe it’s hard for me to understand because from an early age it’s just instinctive, like breathing.

Or maybe it was my upbringing. My dad had a way of getting his point across when I was a kid so that he wasn’t misunderstood.

When I was 4, my parents bought me a pair of aluminum cap-gun revolvers as part of my TJ Martinell Staff Writer

OPINION

XXX DPWJOHUPOSFQPSUFS DPN t XXX NBQMFWBMMFZSFQPSUFS DPN

“Cowboy Bob� phase, even though I had no idea who Cowboy Bob was.

One day I jokingly pointed one of the revolvers at my mom. She promptly took them away and kept them until my dad got home. After explaining what I had done, my dad took me out to our backyard, put my revolvers on the patio then smashed them to bits with his sledge hammer while I watched in horror.

Little did I know that I was partaking in a Middle Americana initiation ceremony for what I like to call the “gun talk.�

The gun talk is sort of like the “birds and the bees talk� without the extreme awkwardness and Freudian euphemisms.

But the intent is still the same: to scare you out of your wits so badly that by the time the effects begin to wear off it’s no longer your parents’ problem.

Essentially, the gun talk is when a parent tells their child what guns are for, what they’re designed to do and what happens if his child ever does anything stupid with one.

During my “gun talk,� my dad spoke like George C. Scott from “Patton� as he explained to me that if I ever found a gun I was to never touch it, but find an adult and let them deal with

it. I was also never to point a gun — not even a toy — at anyone under any circumstances.

Being the little first-year law student that I was, I asked him whether this rule applied to super soakers, hoses, Nerf guns and pop-guns.

He took the bait for about five minutes, then got off that tangent in order to tell me in graphic terms what happens when a person is shot by a hollow-tipped round.

Think of Nicholas Cage in “The Rock� explaining to Sean Connery the effects of VX gas on the human body.

At the same time, even without the traumatic demonstration, I would have known better not to point a real gun at anyone but it was a nice reminder of where my parents stood on the issue.

It also explained why they reacted like every adult from a Christmas Story when I asked for an air rifle for Christmas or my birthday, and why they had no qualms buying several for my kid brother, in addition to whatever else he asked for.

Yeah, the middle child doesn’t hold any grudges at all.

Having a gun talk with a child is no fun.

But part of the problem maybe is that they don’t occur when they should.

sequential federal actions in our region’s history.

Did our federal government act wisely? Even three and a half years later, citizens have too little information to know.

Federal regulators issued a short press release and then hid their remaining information about WaMu behind a heavy curtain of secrecy. The FDIC responded to public records requests by releasing hundreds of documents that were almost entirely blacked out.

The public’s inability to evaluate their government’s action underscores the constant threat to one of our nation’s grandest ideas, the concept of open government.

For more than 200 years Americans have been part of a great experiment in self-rule based on laws. It’s an ambitious civic model that’s idealistic and hopeful and at odds with much of human history. But it works.

It doesn’t work well, however, if a key ingredient is missing: informed citizens. They need to know what their government is doing. They need to know whether it is operating efficiently, fairly and in their best interest.

A few days from now, South King County residents can participate in a free public forum about open government.

The League of Women Voters of Seattle/King County and the Washington Coalition for Open Government (WCOG) are co-sponsors of a two-hour forum, which begins at 6:30 p.m. April 18 in Room 9 of the Kent Senior Activity Center, 600 E. Smith St., Kent.

The centerpiece of the forum is a panel discussion that will be introduced by Mike Reitz, general counsel of The Freedom Foundation, and moderated by Sam Pace, a Kent resident and WCOG treasurer.

The diversity of the panelists reflects the inclusiveness of the coalition.

Open government advocates are united by a powerful idea: that civic life matters, and that government should be transparent and accountable to its citizens.

The future of our bold experiment in self rule depends on it.

Late that afternoon, officials with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and the former Office of Thrift Supervision strode through the lobby of the Seattle headquarters of Washington Mutual and entered an elevator.

On the 32nd floor they walked into the boardroom, where they presented the bank’s directors with legal papers that said the federal government had seized and sold WaMu’s banking subsidiaries. As a result, thousands of people lost their jobs, investors lost billions of dollars and greater Seattle lost a corporate citizen that helped finance the rebuilding of the city after the great fire of 1889.

Cats Have Teeth Too! Dental disease is one of the most commonly overlooked and under-treated medical problems in our cats. This is most likely due to cats’ ability to hide discomfort or pain.

Most cats with dental disease will still eat dry food and act perfectly normal at home. According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, 70% of cats show signs of dental disease by age three. Symptoms include brown tartar build-up along the gum line, red or swollen gums, or bad breath.

Dental disease develops when bacteria combines with saliva and food debris to form plaque on the teeth. Our pets are more prone to plaque formation because the pH of their saliva is more basic than human saliva, thus it has less antibacterial properties. If plaque isn’t removed from the teeth by brushing, the plaque will turn into tartar. Bacteria within the tartar causes inflammation along the gum line, and gum tissue will begin to loosen from the teeth, creating a space for more bacteria to accumulate. This space can widen, causing loose and/or infected teeth. Eventually, these teeth may be lost.

Aside from tartar accumulation on the teeth, one of the most common dental problems in cats is resorptive lesions. These lesions are painful defects in the teeth, most commonly the lower premolars, which are similar to cavities in humans. Unlike humans, whose cavities are the result of bacterial enzymes and acids digesting the teeth, the cause of resorptive lesions in

cats is largely unknown. Studies show that more than fifty percent of cats over 6 years of age will develop one of these painful lesions. Many cats will develop several.

Because cats retain their survival instinct to hide pain, dental disease is often missed by owners at home.

Bad breath in our pets is common and often mistaken as normal, instead of a sign of dental disease.

Less often, cats with dental disease will drool excessively or paw at the mouth.

It is very rare for a cat with dental disease, even in the most severe cases, to have difficulty eating. Their desire to eat will only wane when they are in severe pain or bacterial infection in the mouth has spread to other organs in the body, causing systemic disease.

Dental disease is a common problem in cats, but is very easily treatable in most cases. General anesthesia is required for an appropriate dental cleaning – most pets will not tolerate the probing and polishing that is done during a dental exam. X-rays of all diseased teeth is also essential to fully diagnose all potential problems your pet may have. You may not notice a big change in personality once your cat’s teeth are cleaned and diseased teeth are cared for, but they will feel much better once the chronic sources of pain are removed.

So the next time Fluffy is sitting on your lap, lift up her gums and have a peek at her teeth. If you see anything suspicious, see your veterinarian for a complete dental check-up.

XXX DPWJOHUPOSFQPSUFS DPN t XXX NBQMFWBMMFZSFQPSUFS DPN [ DERBY from page 1] hour earlier than in years past. It is the only time camping is allowed in the park which is owned and operated by the city. Those who plan to camp must also plan to participate in derbyrelated events.

And this year, to build on the long-term partnership the chamber has had with Fred Meyer as well as celebrate the impending opening of the Maple Valley store, employees of the retailer will offer kids games Friday night.

VanRuff said Eric Georgia, the director of the new Maple Valley Fred Meyer which is set to open in late May, is excited to get out to the park and play games with kids from the community. “That’s what we’d like to see on Friday night when you walk around the camp ground, grandmas and grandpas and moms and dads and kids playing,�

VanRuff said. “What an opportunity to get away‌ turn off, find joy in a very simple, basic event of just camping and fishing.

There’s nothing else going on other than some good food and some family games. We don’t need all that other stuff to have a good time and bring families together. There aren’t many activities that every generation can come and enjoy together.�

Maple Valley Rotary members will server burgers and hot dogs from 6-9 p.m. and the fisherman’s breakfast starts at midnight

[ CHARGED from page 1] were witnesses that saw him with the gun and of the urgency to remove it before anyone gets hurt,� according to the probably cause documents.

The boy told the officer he put it in another student’s backpack and the deputy re-entered the room immediately then told all the students to put their hands on their desks.

A second boy in the classroom was identified by officers, though it isn’t clear in the charging papers if it was a school security officer or a deputy, and an officer grabbed his backpack while another officer asked to talk to the boy.

Initially the second boy told an officer he knew the gun was in his backpack.

He was escorted from the classroom while another deputy remained in the room to inform students what happened.

The boys were separated

as does the fishing.

This event takes more than 100 volunteers from the chamber as well as throughout the community to organize it and pull it off successfully, VanRuff said.

Sometimes when new volunteers join the effort, VanRuff said, she has to explain why the chamber coordinates the fishing derby. People will ask why they’re doing and what does fishing have to do with the chamber. “It goes back to collaborating in the community and providing a broader community event and that’s part of the mission of the chamber,� VanRuff said. “But we have to remember to tell people why we’re doing it, to tell the story. This is what unites people in the community, that shared experience.�

In 2003 when the chamber first put on the event, VanRuff recalled, Steve Murray’s son Cameron caught the largest fish.

What Murray, who is pastor of Real Life Church, said to her is something she won’t ever forget. “What Steve said was, ‘Sue, I’ve been trying to figure this out for years.

How do we bring grandmas and grandpas and kids and moms together? Who knew it was fishing,’� VanRuff said. “It’s a gathering place, it’s this opportunity to come together, to have a common experience and talk about it for generations.�

Real Life remains involved in the derby, offering sponsorship support, but

Murray also goes to the park every year whether he plans to fish or not. “Bottom line is there are fewer and fewer opportunities for communities to gather together with the entire family,â€? Murray said. “Maple Valley Days, the fishing derby, parades, things like that are events where Grandma and grandchild can come together and experience it. here’s something healthy when old and young can join together‌ there’s something about these kinds of events that unifies families but it also unifies the community.â€?

Events like this, Murray said, are not just good for families and the community as a whole — they’re good for the spirit, as well. “That is an experience that is super healthy for people’s, well, I would describe it as their soul,� he said.�Your soul is healthy when you interact with people who are different than you. Your soul is also healthy when you interact with your family. The problem today is we’re too busy, we’re not taking enough time to get away from cell phones and technology, we need to get outside, we need to get on a boat and we need to have the experience of putting a worm on a hook together and even if we don’t catch a fish we were united.�

In that brief moment in history, Murray said, people find something they search for their whole lives: peace.

Sometimes people look

in the wrong places or buy things in search of that moment of peace.

Instead, they should go to the fishing derby and find peace in creating memories with their families, Murray said.

Plus, in this tough economy, the cost of the event is just a few bucks per person something that also bring a little peace of mind to cash-strapped families while still allowing them to have fun. “The other interesting thing is that people I think

have forgotten how beautiful it is when a community works together to put on an event like this,� he said. “Some businesses sponsor these kinds of events so they can advertise. Other businesses sponsor this kind of event because they believe it’s the right thing to do. The sponsorship for most of these businesses, you can tell by the way that they talk, they don’t even ask where you’re going to put their name they just give you the money. That spirit is what you see at the

statement he saw the first boy showing the gun to other students in his weight lifting class and told the teacher.

The handgun was reported stolen by its owner in Eastern Washington on April 4 after she realized it was missing.

The boy whose backpack the gun was allegedly stashed in was released to his parents last week while the older boy remained in custody because he was considered a threat and flight risk, according to Donahoe.

According to Kent School District spokesman Chris Loftis, the school is required by state law expel students who are found to be in possession of a deadly weapon on campus on an emergency basis for 12 months.

The students can request the district to override the emergency expulsion through a direct act of the school superintendent.

and deputies recovered the handgun.

One officer informed the second boy of his Miranda rights which the teen waived. At that point the boy said he didn’t know there was a gun in his backpack.

When asked why he changed his story, the second boy said the other boy “asked to borrow an eraser and saw him put something in his backpack but didn’t know what it was,� according to the charging papers.

The second boy said he hadn’t been threatened by the other boy.

Initially the first boy said he stole the gun from his aunt and “brought it to school for protection� then put it in the other boy’s backpack.

Later, when he was interviewed by a detective and been informed of his Miranda rights, the boy said he stole the gun from a family friend in Oregon.

And Murray will be there even though he doesn’t particularly like fishing.

That community spirit which embodies the fishing derby will bring him to Lake Wilderness. “Sometimes we don’t even fish, sometimes we just eat,� he said. “We love the environment. It’s not just about fishing, it’s about community.�

How to make your garden dog friendly

1.

Beware of using fertilizer, moss killer or even lime on your lawn if you have pets.

Some pets lick the pads of their feet if they become irritated from soil amendments and ingest the product.

Many moss killers contain iron and when this gets tracked indoors on the feet of your pets it will leave rust stains on carpet and furniture.

Either water in any application of fertilizer, pesticide or lime or wait at least 48 hours so the product can dissolve in the rain if you are concerned about what your pet is walking on.

Place borders around beds to keep out the dogs.

Raised beds made from stacking stone or timbers not only look good but also make it less likely that your pets will trample your plants.

You can take supple tree limbs from spring pruning and bend these whips into “U� shaped forms by sticking both ends into the soil so you’re framing the beds with a

THE GARDEN FRIENDLY DOG One of the most important things you can do for your pets is to train them to use one area of the yard to do their business.

Pick a spot out of site and cover a 4-foot by 4-foot zone with drainage gravel. Have a covered waste can nearby or sink a garbage can deep into the ground so that only the lid is showing. You can even find waste cans that will open by stepping on an above-ground foot pedal.

Always line the waste can with a plastic bag. Have a “pooper-scooper� handy and use it. Animal feces can contain parasites so it is best for the environment and your health if you scoop the poop and deposit it into a garbage can for disposal wrapped in plastic. Never compost pet deposits. Indoor dogs can be trained to make their deposits on special mats.

Maple Valley’s Public Works Department will host a free Healthy Soil Practices workshop on at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 24 at the Lake Wilderness Lodge.

Don’t encourage your dog to “mark� his territory by peeing on someone’s tree, shrub or the neighbor’s lawn. Dog urine is high in nitrogen and can burn and damage plants.

Responsible dog owners will have their dogs do their business on their own property. You can provide a metal fence post in the gravel potty area to entice your dog to mark the area. Cap the post with a birdhouse or other garden accent. After your pet does his business you can offer the positive reinforcement of a walk in the neighborhood or trip to a dog park.

Dogs that dig are trying to help you. They either smell a rodent intruder or saw you flinging earth about as you were planting. Some breeds just need to dig.

Choose a spot in the yard for doggy digging and train Fido to dig up toys and treats in this area only. Bury a toy or treat to give them the idea. Even old dogs can be taught new tricks if you practice persistence and positive reinforcement.

Enjoy working in the garden with your pets nearby by rewarding them with attention for calm behavior. Plant some catnip for your kitty to keep him drunk with happiness. Pets, people and gardens were made to be enjoyed together.

twiggy fence. For puppies and big dogs you may need to install temporary wire fencing around beds while your pets establish roaming habits.

After seeding or planting an area with new plants lay thorny branches (got roses that need pruning?) on top of the soil.

You can also try sprinkling the soil with red pepper flakes to teach your pets not to dig.

Use a thorny hedge of barberry or roses to discourage or redirect pets from entering an area or taking a shortcut into a garden bed. Landscape designers use this trick with humans as well.

If you can’t beat them or retrain them, then provide a pathway of paw-cushioning cedar shavings in the area where your pet has beaten down the grass or destroyed the plants.

Cedar not only repels fleas but lasts for years when spread on top of a weed-blocking layer of newspaper or cardboard. Border the new cedar chip pathway with rocks or tree limbs and you’ll have a natural woodland look in the garden instead of a path worn down to mud.

The Compleat Home Gardener

The second week of April is a great time to add trees, shrubs and perennials to the garden. Rhododendrons, azaleas and flowering trees are also in bloom this week and easy to find at local nurseries.

If you notice a lovely plant growing in someone else’s garden but both you and the neighbor are unsure of the name, just snip off a small piece and carry it to a nursery or Master Gardener clinic for identification.

The April showers and warmer weather makes this a good time to be adding trees, shrubs and perennials.

You won’t be barking up the wrong tree is you’ve noticed a lot more dogs being walked in the neighborhood.

Americans love their pets but as the size of the average back yard shrinks, the size of the family dog and number of family pets seems to grow.

Planning a dog-friendly landscape goes together with training a garden friendly dog.

UPDATE

Hearing continues for teen charged in rapes

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

A hearing scheduled in King County Juvenile Court in Seattle to determine whether a 16-year-old Kent boy charged with rape should be prosecuted as an adult has been rescheduled

to April 23.

The hearing had been scheduled for March 26.

This is the second time the hearing has been postponed. A judge agreed in February to reschedule the hearing after the defense requested more time to gather information. The

defense again received a rescheduled date in order to have more time to prepare, said Dan Donohoe, spokesman for the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.

Prosecutors charged the boy Nov. 10 with two counts of first-degree rape and two counts of first-degree kidnapping with sexual motivation in connection with attacks on a 17-yearold girl and a 19-year-old woman on separate nights in late October on the East Hill along Kent-Kangley

Road.

Prosecutors will request that the boy be tried as an adult. The boy attended Kentwood High School in Covington, where Kent Police arrested him Nov. 7.

If convicted in Juvenile Court, the boy would be incarcerated up to his 21st birthday, according to prosecutors.

The minimum sentence in adult court is 28 to 36 years in prison with a potential maximum sentence of up to life in prison.

with life-threatening injuries to the local trauma center via Airlift Northwest.

The plane landed upside-down in between some trees about 15 yards in front of a home. The plane avoided hitting any homes, cars, or people in the crash.

The only significant damage to the homeowner’s property was to a few trees in the front yard.

The plane, however, was substantially damaged because of the crash.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) arrived on scene to start the investigation and moved the plane into a local hanger for further investigation, Perciful said in the release. when the alleged rapes occurred, the Juvenile Court first handled 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.

Under Washington state law, an offender who commits a serious violent offense is automatically charged in adult court if they are 16 or 17 years old when the alleged crime occurred. The boy turned 16 March 21.

In each incident, the boy approached the woman and the girl after they had exited a bus, according to charging papers.

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.

Detectives said state crime lab investigators matched DNA from the boy with evidence collected from each rape victim.

READY TO CONQUER THE COURT Kentwood senior Tess Manthou looks to make the most of her last season of high school tennis

BY SARAH KEHOE skehoe@kentreporter.com

T-BIRD NAMED TO CANADA’S U-18 TEAM Right wing Branden Troock of the Seattle Thunderbirds hockey team has been named to Team Canada for the Under-18 World Championships April 12-22 in Brno and Znojmo, Czech Republic.

Troock, from Edmonton, Alberta, just finished his first season with the T-Birds in the Western Hockey League. He appeared in 58 games and had 14 goals and 12 assists for 26 points with 89 penalty minutes.

Kentwood senior Tess Manthou is heading into her final season of high school tennis for the Conquerors. She made it to the state doubles championship match a year ago. SARAH KEHOE, The Reporter

Tess Manthou’s father inspired her to take up pick up a tennis racket when she was a child. “My dad started me and my brother in tennis lessons when we were young to stay active and I started to really love it,�

Manthou said. “I took lessons for a few years and then started playing competitive tournaments when I was about 9.�

She is now a senior at Kentwood High and playing her final year for the Conquerors. Last year, she finished second at state in doubles with Eliana Spero, who graduated a year ago, and the year before Manthou took third in doubles. “Individually, I don’t know about playing singles or doubles yet but I’m focusing on my own game and getting better at every practice,� Manthou said. “I’m looking to have fun and enjoy my

last year.�

Manthou has been playing tennis competitively for years, participating in USTA tournaments until she was 15 years old. She stopped playing tennis year round so she could play club volleyball.

Manthou played club volleyball for six years and all four years on Kentwood’s team. She was a libero, a defensive specialist, and helped the Conks to a second place finish at the 4A state tournament in November. “Tennis has kept me very active and taught me many skills beyond the court like how to be competitive, how to have determination, and how to fight for what I want,� she said. “I also saw many skills from tennis transfer into volleyball like how to stay composed and how to perform under pressure.

As teams in the South Puget Sound League North approached the midway point in the league schedule, Kentwood continued to roll, Kentlake split its games for the week and Kentridge struggled while Tahoma bounced back from a threegame losing streak.

CONQUERORS OF THE NORTH DIVISION Kentwood picked apart Kentlake in a 12-0 victory on the road April 4.

Skyler Genger got the complete game win on the mound allowing three hits.

He also finished the game 1-for-3 at the plate with an RBI. The Conquerors jumped on the Falcons pitching in the top of the second, scoring six runs, and never looked back.

It started with a Kade Kryzso single, then another single by Jarrett Retz with Cash McGuire following that up with a bunt single.

Genger then singled to center field and drove in a run. Reese McGuire stepped up to the plate next and hammered a double to the right center field gap.

Lucas Gately then got a double of his own when he ripped it to center field.

Gately finished the game 2-for-4 with a pair of RBIs.

Kryzsko went 1-for-3, Cash McGuire was 2-for-4 with an RBI, Taylor Jones was 2-for-5 with a double and two RBIs, Dalton Cryderman was 1-for-1 with a double while Reese McGuire was 2-for-5 with four RBIs and a pair of two-baggers, Retz finished 1-for-3 at the plate and Kyler Kenney made the most of his plate appearance by smacking a double late in the game.

The Conks followed that up with a 12-2 defeat of the Rams from Mount Rainier at home on April 6.

Kentwood broke the game wide open with an eight-run inning in the bottom of the fourth to win the game in five innings.

Gately finished the game 2-for-3 at the plate while McCord was 1-for-2 with two RBIs, Cash McGuire was 2-for-2 with a double and an RBI, Kryzsko was 1-for-3 with an RBI, Genger was 2-for-3 with a double and two RBIs, Reese McGuire was 3-for-4 with two RBIs and Tanner Wessling was 2-for-3 with a double and two RBIs. Michael Parrott got the win on the mound for the Conks throwing a complete game scattering three hits, allowing two runs and striking out three while not allowing a walk. He improved to 3-0 on the season.

[ COURT from page 12] tennis, I have met many lifelong friends from around the Pacific Northwest that I otherwise wouldn’t have encountered from tournaments and I also met many wonderful girls from the high school seasons as well.�

Manthou says she has overcome many challenges in tennis. “Tennis is such a complete game, it’s challenging to put

FALCONS FIND OFFENSE Kentlake recovered from the tough loss to Kentwood with a 10-2 victory on April 6 over Kent-Meridian.

The Falcons scored four runs in the first three innings then put the Royals away with a five-run fifth.

Kentlake followed that up with a 4-2 victory over Mount Rainier on April 7.

With those wins the Falcons improved to 6-3 in league play and moved into second place.

BEARS BOUNCE BACK For a moment early in the game against Kentlake on April 5, it looked like things weren’t going to go well for Tahoma after Bears starting pitcher Brandon Fokkema gave up a 2-run homerun to give Kentlake a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning.

Then Fokkema buckled down, striking out six over the complete game 3-2 victory for Tahoma, as he scattered eight hits while

walking two batters.

Tahoma answered in the bottom of the first, tying it up at 2-2, then got the go ahead run on a wild pitch in the bottom of the third.

From there it was a battle between the Bears and the Falcons but neither were able to generate any more runs.

Connor Cloyd, a senior captain for Tahoma, finished 3-for-4 at the plate with a run scored while Troy LaBrie went 2-for-4 with a run scored.

Tahoma improved to 5-3 in South Puget Sound League North play with the win.

It was the second close game Tahoma had in a week.

Tahoma beat Auburn Riverside 2-1 in 10 innings on April 4.

The Bears scored a run in the top of the first then the Ravens tied it up in the bottom of the fourth.

Tahoma scored the go ahead run in the top of the 10th and held off Auburn Riverside to hang onto the win.

In the victory over Riverside Cloyd led the Bears at the plate, going 3-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base.

Tahoma played at KentMeridian on Tuesday after the Reporter’s deadline.

CHARGERS STRUGGLE TO FIND THEIR RHYTHM

on Newport in a nonleague game but lost 5-2.

In the game against Newport Zach Beatty went 1-for-3 while Joe Wainhouse went 2-for-3 with a double and Sheldon Stober went 2-for-3 with a double.

Kentridge struggled on April 4 against Mount Rainier losing 13-9 after giving up seven runs in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Two days later Kentridge traveled to Bellevue to take

all the parts together sometimes as far as the physical and mental components,� she said. “I’m glad I stuck with it because playing tennis in high school has been amazing and some of my fondest memories have been from the various league, district and state tournaments.�

Kentwood’s tennis team lost to Tahoma in the first league match of the season, but was able to bounce back and defeat Kentridge the next week. “I think this showed a lot of determination from us,�

Manthou said.�My goal for the season as a team would be to play our best at every match and learn to keep mentally focused because of the crazy schedule sometimes, which is due to all the rain cancellations.�

An abnormal growth of cells in the body, also known as malignancy, is a typical characterization of cancer. There are various types of cancer (more than 100), including breast cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, skin cancer, and lymphoma. Because there are so many different kinds of cancer, symptoms can run the gamut. And causes of cancer are just as varied as the symptoms, including environmental toxins, excess sun, genetics, viruses, and obesity. Often, treatment of cancer includes chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. There are also complementary treatments for cancer. Before starting any holistic or alternative cancer treatment, be sure to check with your doctor to be sure that there are no negative interactions.

The cancer treatment options your doctor recommends depends on the type and stage of cancer, possible side effects, and your preferences and overall health. Cancer treatment often causes a variety of side effects. Talk with your doctor about which side effects are likely based on your specific treatment plan. It is important to talk with your health care team about the specific side effects you experience and the best ways to manage and treat them.

45 days.

As I was making a list of all the food I wanted to buy to bring to the anime convention so I was prepared for the kids’ drive-by eatings, I realized I also had to shop for Easter Sunday.

I laughed to myself about how funny it would be if my in-laws showed up at my house and I had forgotten about buying food for dinner. I’d be pulling out random things from the freezer to throw something together. So, I added Easter Sunday dinner items on my grocery list.

But, as I found out while shopping at Costco on Thursday, there are many things that did not make it on the list.

Part of the problem is I have a constant script running through my head of everything that needs to get done and it often derails my train of thought.

After I had left the produce section I remembered I needed potatoes. So, I headed back to get potatoes. On the way the script started running through my head and I forgot what I went back for. I wandered around the general area trying to remember and finally gave up, and continued shopping, hoping it would come to me again.

There was some weird sequence of events that triggered the reminder of potatoes in the first place — like I picked up frozen beans and thought about roasting beans and then remembered I needed potatoes. Although I couldn’t Gretchen Leigh

Lately, I have been more aware of how much I’m forgetting. I think it’s a mom’s prerogative to forget things — we are running other lives besides our own, so we have a right to forget a few things. But sometimes we get into situations where there are more things to forget than normal.

I have called the last 45 days my 45 days of Lent. Lent covers the days from Ash Wednesday leading up to Easter. In order to honor these days and the culmination of Easter many people choose to give up something, pray more, or make some sort of other sacrifice. I had so many things going on during Lent, I decided for me it was the ultimate sacrifice to make it through without forgetting anything.

In the last 45 days I’ve refinanced the house, fought with our homeowner’s insurance company, had a Japanese exchange student for two weeks, assisted in making two complicated costumes for the anime convention my children are attending, coordinate the Youth Living Stations of the Cross, set up two presentations for the Youth Living Stations of the cross, chaperone my children, plus two or maybe three extra children at the anime convention in Seattle and bring them home alive, and plan Easter Sunday for 10 people.

So, not forgetting things has been a challenge these last

remember what the sequence was so I could only hope that I would pick up things in the same order to trigger the memory again.

I went through most of the store before I did something that suddenly reminded me I had gone after potatoes.

When I got to the potatoes I was so overwhelmed by my choices I ended up buying every kind.

Then on Friday morning I was going over the script, getting one kid off to school, getting the other one ready to go to the convention early with another parent, and the Stations of the Cross event for that evening totally dropped off my radar for about 30 minutes.

It really freaked me out, because if I thought forgetting Sunday dinner for 10 people would be a horrible faux pas, forgetting an event that involved 20 children and200 audience members would probably qualify me for insanity.

But I made it out of the store with the potatoes, I remembered to show up for the Stations of the Cross, and I’m sitting here in the hotel next to the anime convention and so far I haven’t lost any children. I don’t think‌ Now, what am I forgetting?

HOW A FAMILY-OWNED FERRY SERVICE IS

GOING THE DISTANCE FOR LOCAL RESIDENTS — AND THE SEATTLE ECONOMY.

For more than 25 years, the iconic red-and-blue Clipper fleet has been ferrying commuters and vacationers alike between Seattle, Victoria, B.C. and the spectacular San Juan Islands. To keep the fleet as modern and comfortable as possible for passengers, Clipper Vacations began working with Bank of America in 2007.

We initially helped by restructuring loans that enabled engine upgrades, allowing the fleet to reach speeds of up to 30 knots. More recently, we provided financing to modernize the fleet’s interior cabins. It’s a relationship that’s not only helping to get Seattle residents where they need to go — it’s also helping to generate local economic growth: the family-owned fleet employs 150 people.

Clipper is another example of how we’re working to help locally based businesses grow and hire in the Puget Sound — and across the country. In 2011, we provided $222 million in new credit to small businesses in Washington — an increase of 28% from 2010.
