Kent gets EPA grant to study contamination

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has awarded the city of Kent $400,000 in two grants to inventory, assess

and prioritize contaminated sites in an effort to redevelop the properties.

City officials will hire a consultant to help determine location of the sites, how contaminated they are and what

would be needed to clean up the properties. The grants are part of what’s known as the EPA’s Brownfields Program.

“It’s not about a risk to the public,” said Josh Hall, city economic development

specialist. “It’s more about identifying idle property and trying to get the property back on the tax base and get development happening.” [ more GRANT page 2 ]

Say goodbye to the nearly 19,000 giant sandbags along the Green River levees in Kent.

The city of Kent awarded the sandbag removal job Monday to AGR Contracting, Inc., of Monroe, with the lowest responsive bid of $894,628. Thirteen companies bid for the project, including a high bid of $2.26 million by Steelhead Construtors, Inc., of California. City engineer Nick Horn estimated the project at $1.2 million.

“The goal is to have all bags removed by the end of September,” said Kelly Peterson, city environmental conservation supervisor, in an email. “It may take longer to make any repairs to the trail if the sandbags caused damage.”

Work to remove the giant sandbags is expected to start in mid-July, Peterson said.

has chemicals, clean it up and redevelop it.�

The EPA estimates there are more than 450,000 brownfields in the United States. The agency started the grant program in 1995 to help communities find and assess contaminated properties and eventually clean up the sites. “What we’re talking about is a site where maybe there was a gas station there and we need to know if there were petroleum leaks,� Hall said. “A lot of the study is if there are questions about a site, are they brownfields and do they need clean up?�

One potential study site is the old Texaco station at the northwest corner of Central Avenue and James Street, Hall said. The site has been vacant for about four years. “That’s an important corner of real estate,� Hall said. “I’m pretty sure that will be a site we look at.�

The city has no formal inventory of brownfield sites.

Josh Hall, City of Kent economic development specialist, stands at the old Texaco station. STEVE HUNTER, Kent Reporter. the presence in the city of 1,047 potentially impacted sites, including 582 hazardous waste generators, 294 underground storage tank sites, 136 leaking underground storage sites and three Superfund sites. The EPA identified Superfund sites as the worst contaminated properties in the nation.

Hall said the Superfund sites in Kent have already been cleaned up and are monitored, including the closed Kent Highlands Landfill at Military Road and South 240th Street and the closed Midway Landfill at 248000 Pacific Highway S. “The grants provide no money for clean up,� Hall said. “But it will give us an idea about what needs to be cleaned up for a developer.�

City officials still need to determine the specific sites to be studied. “Some sites are in the industrial valley,� he said.

“Others are old gas stations or laundromats. Other sites we might not even think are brownfield sites but we will find out if there is hazardous material or petroleum there.�

City officials will work with contaminated property lists identified by the state DOE and King County to help compile a complete inventory.

Hall said consultants will identify up to about 10 sites that have petroleum or other hazardous materials for core samples to find out what’s exactly there and what would be needed to clean up the site. He said the project will take about three years to complete.

The studies are expected to begin in a couple of months. Eventually, community outreach will be part of the project so that residents or businesses near a site can find out what was at the property and give input about possible redevelopment of the site.

Needy Kent kids receive 1,350 books

BY STEVE HUNTER

shunter@kentreporter.com

CONGRESSIONAL 9TH DISTRICT CANDIDATE PLANS TOWN HALL Democrat Dave Christie, who is running for Congress in the 9th Congressional District, will host a town mall meeting from 1-4 p.m. Saturday, June 30 at the Kent Commons Green River Room, 525 Fourth Ave. N. The redrawn 9th District includes portions of Kent and Auburn as well as northeast Tacoma, Federal Way, southeast Seattle, Mercer Island and Bellevue.

Adam Smith, D-Tacoma, currently represents the 9th District and is running for reelection. Other challengers to Smith on the Aug. 7 primary ballot include Democrat Tom Cramer and Republicans Jim Postma and John Orlinski.

More than 400 children in three Kent public housing projects will get books to call their own because of a donation of 1,350 books.

First Book-Seattle is working with the King County Housing Authority and Kent Youth and Family Services to promote children’s literacy in three low-income communi-

ties, according to a June 19 Housing Authority media release.

Children living in Birch Creek, Valli Kee Homes and Cascade Apartments will benefit from the program.

Children from birth to age 8 will get books to call their own.

First Book is a nonprofit that gives schools and organizations grants to purchase brand new books for chil-

dren in need. The initiative is part of the King County Housing Authority’s broader effort to connect low-income housing, services and education for children living in three public housing communities on Kent’s East Hill.

At the three complexes, 74 percent of children live in households where English is the second language, said Rhonda Rosenberg, spokeswoman for the King County Housing Authority, in an email. Twenty-one different languages are spoken and 32 countries of origin are represented. “One of the biggest obstacles to literacy for low-in-

The event takes place from 5-8 p.m. on July 12 in the Kent Senior Activity Center, 600 E. Smith St. Speed candidating is free for chamber members, $20 for nonmembers.

Speed Candidating will feature the 16 candidates for state House and Senate seats in the Kent area talking

with residents in short intervals, much like the protocol for speed dating.

There will be 16 tables with 10 seats, one seat for the candidate and nine seats for participants.

The Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority wants to remind residents and visitors that the Fourth of July, while a time to celebrate our country’s independence, is also a day of potential injuries and fires.

Fire officials offer the following safety tips: 1. Go see one of the area’s many free firework displays, including the Fourth of July Splash at Lake Meridian. The Splash entertainment begins at noon and the fireworks show at 10 p.m.

2. Only purchase and discharge legal fireworks.

Keep in mind that many of the fireworks you buy on Native American reservations are illegal in Kent, Covington, and other cities.

3. Always have a garden hose, bucket of water, or fire extinguisher nearby while discharging fireworks.

4. Always discharge fireworks under adult

supervision. Remember that fireworks and alcohol consumption do not safely mix.

5. When lighting fireworks, wear eye protection and only discharge one firework at a time. Place discharged fireworks in a bucket of water.

6. Do not discharge fireworks where ground conditions are dry and the danger of fire is higher.

Also remember: 1. Fireworks go on sale June 28 but can only be discharged on July 4.

2. The city of Kent allows fireworks to be discharged between 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. July 4.

The city of Covington and unincorporated King County allow fireworks to be discharged between 9 a.m. and midnight.

3. Safety emphasis patrols by the Kent Police and Fire Departments will be out and illegal fireworks confiscated.

Fines for illegal discharging/possession can exceed $1,000.

4. Illegal or unwanted fireworks can be dropped off at any Kent Fire Department fire station without penalty or fine.

Peterson said. “After these areas are finished, the contractor will remove the bags in a manner AGR Contracting determines to be most efficient.�

The city contract requires the contractor to use rubber-tired or rubber-tracked equipment to minimize damage to the paved trail surface. About 2,300 giant sandbags within the Riverbend Golf Complex can be emptied for fill material along the perimeter of the golf course. The contractor must find sites away from the river for the rest of the sand as well as get rid of the black plastic covering the

bags.

AGR Contracting will deliver the sand as fill material to Cedar Grove Composting, which will evaluate the sand for its best use in their operations.

The Green River Trail will reopen when all work is completed, though some segments may open sooner, Peterson said. “The city asks the community for patience as this work is completed,� he said.

Crews from SoundEarth Strategies Construction, LLC of Seattle started to remove giant sandbags Monday from around Kent Elementary School as part of a contract awarded by the Kent School District.

The company also will remove bags from around Neely-O’Brien Elementary and Mill Creek Middle School.

Washington state has passed several laws to increase student access to online learning, as lawmakers recognize the potential of online courses to increase student learning, to improve instruction, and to provide students with more educational options.

A national effort, Digital Learning Now, has launched a campaign to achieve the same goal. This study assesses the progress of online learning in Washington state and reports on the number of students enrolled in online courses in the five largest school districts in the state.

The Kent School District is the fourth-largest in the

the internet.

Washington Policy Center research indicates that the following policy recommendations, if adopted, would improve the quality of public education for all students.

The Legislature should lift the ban on charter public schools and allow innovations in online learning to emerge, and bring needed competition to the regional district monopolies that currently operate Washington schools.

The Legislature should discard the arbitrary staffto-student ratio funding model, and instead allow the funding to which students are entitled follow

the student to the school or online learning course of the family’s choice.

The Legislature should require local school officials to give students access to all available online learning courses, without conditions or limitations.

Students should be encouraged to take at least one online course in high school, so students can demonstrate at least a minimal familiarity with online learning technology.

The Legislature should prohibit class sizes from being subject to collective bargaining negotiations, so education officials are not barred from adopting flexible staffing models.

The City Council on June 19 pre-authorized Mayor Suzette Cooke to sign a contract up to $1.6 million, the amount approved by the King County Flood Control District. The flood district will cover the costs by delaying levee projects along the river. The district is funded through a countywide property levy of 10 cents per $1,000 assessed value. “Finally we will have our Green River Trail back,�

Cooke said in a city media release. “We all want to see these sandbags removed as fast as possible. Now that the dam is operating at full capacity, getting them down is a top priority. I will be so glad to see Kent stop looking like a war zone.�

The bags stretch for

than half of the path of the Green River Trail, a popular walking and bicycling destination prior to the placing of the sandbags.

Sandbags that are about 3-feet high have lined the trail for nearly three years for extra flood protection because of damage in 2009 to an abutment next to the Howard Hanson Dam on the upper Green River.

But the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced last fall it had repaired the abutment and can operate Hanson Dam at full capacity, which means the sandbags are no longer needed.

No heavy rainstorms ever tested the sandbags.

COMMENTARY

“Are you voting to re-elect President Obama?”

Shawn Skager

Question of the week:

For me, every Fourth of July is special.

As far back as I can remember, and more so than to any other holiday, I’ve looked forward to the annual celebration of when the United States declared independence from England.

Unencumbered by any obligations, like buying gifts, the Fourth has always been simple. And in my hectic, complicated world, just being able to spend a day doing nothing except eating barbecue, drinking beer, blowing stuff up and watching baseball is a rare gift.

This year, however, the Fourth of July has an added significance. This year my dad, John Skager, will be posthumously inducted into the Mandan, N.D. American Legion Baseball Hall of Fame.

I grew up a Navy brat, courtesy of my dad’s 26-year career in the United States Navy.

Although many of the Fourths in my youth were spent in far flung, exotic locales such as Greece, Australia and Utah, whenever we could, we returned to North Dakota – where I was born and my parents grew up – to spend the holiday with relatives.

Now, I’ve heard many people brag about how good the Fourth of July celebrations in their hometowns are, and I’ve experienced a few as well. But let me tell you here and now — all of them pale in comparison to a Mandan Fourth.

Typically, the festivities start around 10 a.m. with the Main Street Parade, followed by a host of activities such as the rodeo, the demolition derby, music in the park or just chilling with the cousins in a backyard, drinking beer and barbecuing.

Paramount among the festivities, however, is the American Legion baseball doubleheader at the Legion Memorial Ball Park.

In my extended family, baseball is like a religion, ranking somewhere near the top with God, country and family. [ more SKAGER page 7 ]

Support legislation in the fight against pancreatic cancer Cancer is a terrible disease that afflicts millions of Americans every year. Fortunately, modern technology has helped stymie the disease from ruining everything in its path.

Thanks to major advances in treatment options for many cancers, survival rates have dramatically increased over the past three decades. In fact, the five-year relative survival rate for all cancers is now 67 percent.

However, pancreatic cancer has not seen the same advances. It is an insidious disease that kills 74 percent of its victims within one year of being diagnosed and only six percent survive more than five years. Worse yet, the estimated number of cases of pancreatic cancer are expected to increase by 55 percent between 2010

During his term as Washington’s governor, Gary Locke’s mantra was “education is the great equalizer.” Locke, now the U.S. Ambassador to China, was correct, but in our country, today education is becoming the great separator.

Here’s the problem.

First, far too many students drop

out of high school – nearly 7,000 each day. That adds up to about 1.2 million students a year who don’t graduate with their peers.

The consequences are clear. Forbes reports that in 2009, the average high school dropout made $19,540 a year, 40 percent less than their classmates who graduate. The deficit continues into the work-

(NCI) to develop a long term and comprehensive strategy concerning pancreatic cancer.

But the bill needs your support in order to become law.

Please join me and contact Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell and Congressman Dave Reichert. Ask them to pass the Pancreatic Cancer Research & Education Act and together we can ensure that this deadly disease gets the attention that it deserves. Go to www.knowitfightitendit.org to learn how you can take action today.

It pleases me to no end to know that other people saw the same guy that I saw, the man who was, and always will be, my hero.

Although I never got to see him play baseball, I was lucky enough to have been the bat boy for my dad’s fastpitch team in the ’70s.

Police break up large crowd at park

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

Kent Police broke up a large gathering of high school students at Lake Meridian Park for a few “minor confrontations” that attracted a large crowd of spectators following the final day of school.

The first signs of trouble started at about 3:30 p.m.

Wednesday, June 20 at the park along Southeast 272nd Street, said Kent Police Assistant Chief Pat Lowery in an email. Officers stayed in and around the park until it closed at dusk. No arrests were made.

“In the end our assessment was that the problems we experienced were largely prompted by the

confluence of several high schools into the park on a single day, a very unusual circumstance,” Lowery said.

A lot of kids congregated at the park on the first day of summer, an actual warm and sunny day.

“There were a few minor confrontations between some of the youth that generated large crowds of spectators,” Lowery said.

Police kept a close watch on the park the next day but had not noticed any similar disturbances.

Lowery said officers are working with Kent Parks Department staff to ensure prompt and effective response to behavior problems at the popular, city-owned park.

Police will cite individu-

als for disorderly conduct, malicious property damage, use or possession of alcohol or other offenses.

People who violate city ordinances are being trespassed when appropriate or cited if the situation warrants it.

“We have also increased our presence, particularly in the afternoon and early evening hours when attendance is at its greatest,” Lowery said.

Kent Police also have a marine unit that patrols the lake and park.

“They patrol on a random schedule with a focus on those days and times when lake traffic is the greatest,” Lowery said.

“Park property patrols are augmented by uniformed and plain clothes patrols as well.”

The city of Kent holds its annual Fourth of July Splash at Lake Meridian Park.

Barbee’s Kent trial date stalled

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

The trial date has been continued once again 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, 33, faces a Sept. 18 trial date after King County Superior Court Judge Mary E. Roberts granted Barbee’s attorney’s request for a continuance from a June 19 date.

Defense attorney Brian Todd said he needed more time to prepare the case because of voluminous discovery as well as conduct witness interviews, according to court documents.

REPORT

Kent School District awards and achievements KENTRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL RECEIVES SILVER MEDAL RECOGNITION Kentridge High School was given the rank of Silver Medal School in the nation’s top high schools.

This was reported by US News & World Report. Additionally, nearly every year students from Kentridge High School receive national-level scholarships and are recognized as National Merit finalists.

KENT SCHOOL DISTRICT HOSTS REFUGEE EVENT In observance of World Refugee Day 2012, the Kent School District is hosting a free advance screening of the documentary film “A Place in the World.”

The film is about a school located in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia where over 60,000 refugees have been resettled.

The event takes place Monday, June 18 from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at Kent Meridian High School, located at 10020 S.E. 256th St. World Refugee Day honors the courage, resilience, and determination of refugees. Today, 27.5 million people in the world are displaced by conflict and violence. Forced to flee, refugees lose everything; their family, friends, home, community and country.

The film’s plot focuses on how the parents hold various ideologies, religions and values that come into conflict with one another. The children, whose identities are still being formed, are stretched between two worlds.

Despite their differences, all the families want a better life for their children. After the screening, a panel of refugee students in Kent who have overcome challenges similar to those faced by children in the film and professionals will speak with students.

The goal of the event is to help newly arrived refugee youth resettle in Kent schools and become contributing members of our larger community.

ELSEWHERE Kentridge’s Natalie Kelly and Kentwood’s Carly Joy Vela were among 90 local and regional recipients of Leaders and Achievers Scholarship Program awards, the Comcast Foundation announced last week. Comcast asks schools to name students who demonstrate leadership abilities in school activities and who reflect a strong commitment to community service. “All the young people on this list have built impressive track records of service to others, and show great potential to community service throughout their lives,” said Len Rozek, senior vice president of Comcast’s Washington market. The Comcast Leaders and Achievers Scholarship Program provides $1,000 scholarships to students who strive to achieve their potential, who are catalysts for positive change in their communities, who are involved in their schools, and who serve as models for their fellow students. To date, Comcast has awarded more than $17 million to more than 17,000 Leaders and Achievers Scholarship winners.

Sgt. Ryan Stone of the Army National Guard recently brought their High School Humvee program to Kentwood High School to demonstrate the technical skills needed to service these important military vehicles. There was also a short video showcasing career opportunities within the National Guard for students of all backgrounds and interests.

Kent female inmate cited for indecent exposure

shunter@kentreporter.com

Kent Police cited a female inmate at the city jail for investigation of indecent exposure after she allegedly lifted her shirt and flashed her breasts at a male inmate.

Jail officials called the police after a male inmate notified them that he wanted to file charges against the woman, according to the police report.

The incident occurred June 18 at the city jail, 1230 S. Central Ave. The man told police he stood inside his cell looking out his glass door toward the recreational yard when he saw the woman lift her shirt and expose her breasts to him.

He told officers that the act alarmed and offended him because, “he did not like it.�

When police talked to the woman, she admitted to the incident. She said she was trying to get accepted by the other “girls� in the jail. She said she refused to lift her shirt at first but did it because the other “girls� thought it would be funny.

The woman is serving a sentence for reckless endangerment. She is scheduled to be released in February.

Pursuit Police arrested a woman for investigation of attempting to elude after she sped up to 100 mph along the Benson Highway with two patrols cars after her during a 6.8 mile chase.

The pursuit occurred at about 11:58 p.m. June 17 after an officer on routine patrol saw a Chevy Suburban southbound on 104th Avenue Southeast without brake lights as the vehicle stopped at an intersection, according to the police report.

The officer activated his emergency lights to pull the vehicle over when the driver turned into a parking lot in the 24900 block of 104th Avenue Southeast.

The driver then sped out of the parking lot and the pursuit began northbound on 104th Avenue Southeast, also known as the Benson Highway. The driver reportedly ran red lights at the intersections of Southeast 240th Street, Southeast

Brothers

Farm Fresh Produce

222nd Street, Southeast 208th Street and Southeast 176th Street.

The driver reached speeds of up to 100 mph in a 40 mph zone before taking a left turn onto Grady Way in Renton. An officer used a pursuit intervention technique (PIT) and eventually forced the Suburban up on a curb in the middle of the street along Grady Way. Officers in two cars surrounded the vehicle and approached it with guns drawn and aimed at the driver. When an officer told the woman to put her hands up, she complied.

Officers took her out of the vehicle and handcuffed her.

She told police she freaked out when she saw the police lights and heard the siren because she had warrants. A record check by officers showed the woman had warrants for a thirddegree driving while license suspended out of Kirkland, a failure to appear for a third-degree theft charge out of Renton and making false statements in Bonney

Nylon strips on tomato stems

.com

The end of June is when most of the foliage from spring-blooming bulbs can be removed to tidy up the beds. Wait until the daffodil, tulip or hyacinth greens have either turned brown or when the clump of leaves pulls away easily from the buried bulbs with just a slight tug. The dying foliage is sending nourishment to next spring’s flowers.

This is also a good week to stake your tomato plants before the stems become heavy with fruit.

Strips of cloth or nylon stockings make great ties for the succulent tomato stems. June is also the month to trim evergreen hedges like boxwood, arborvitae and laurel. When trimming large hedges be sure you leave the top of the hedge slightly more narrow than the bottom. This shape will allow rain water and sunshine to reach the root zone of the hedge.

June is the month that belongs to roses, weddings and summer blooms.

We live in a climate perfect for growing cut flowers and local growers have experienced a resurgence of interest in

You can buy locally-grown blooms at farmer’s markets, food co-ops or from flower stands along the side of country roads. A new book by Seattle author Debra Prinzing – “The 50 Mile Bouquet: Seasonal, Local and Sustainable Flowers� – celebrates the beauty and designs of buying locally grown cut flowers.

This richly photographed book profiles the flower farmers of our area and contains interviews with studio floral designers and retail flower shops that focus on using local blooms in their designs.

CONWELL COMPETES AT OLYMPIC TRIALS Will Conwell, a 2001 Kentwood High School graduate, threw well enough on Monday to advance to the finals in the discus at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials at the University of Oregon.

Conwell unleashed a throw of 198 feet, 10 inches to take seventh place in the qualifying round. The top 12 throwers earned spots in the finals, which were Thursday after press deadline. The top three in the finals earn Olympic berths to London.

Kent Crusaders Rugby Club opens doors for players but also brings people together on and off the pitch

BY KRIS HILL khill@covingtonreporter.com

Rugby opens doors, it brings people together, and that’s why Kentlake High graduate Devon Vieira loves it.

“One the field you’ll be playing against girls you think are the worst,” Vieira said. “Afterward there’s socials and the home team feeds the team that traveled.

You’ll talk and find that you have a lot in common with those girls you just thought you were terrible.”

Vieira began playing in eighth grade when went out to a Kent Crusaders rugby club practice. Up that point she had been a soccer player.

“A friend of mine wanted to stay in shape during the offseason, so, she suggested we play rugby,” Vieira said.

“I had literally never heard offering me rides. And the of it before but I heard there coach … he’s just awesome.” was tackling so it was really Rex Norris, who teaches intriguing for me.” social studies at Kentwood And then her friend who High and has served as the suggested they check it out head football coach there wasn’t able to play. So, it for the past eight seasons, was just Vieira and is the U19 girls “I had literally a bunch of rugby coach for the never heard of it girls she didn’t Crusaders. before but I heard know.

Rugby opened there was tackling doors for Norris Vieira was intimidated because so it was really and Vieira said she was the young- intriguing for me.” he helped her Devon Vieira est player there. find opportuniAfter the first ties through the practice, though, sport. she had a feeling Vieira, who rugby could have a place in just graduated from Kenther life. lake in June, will attend “I was really pleased with Quinnipiac University in it because it was such a new Connecticut to play rugby. sport and I kind of knew at “I would not be going to that point I had potential this school if it wasn’t for in it,” Vieira said. “Also, the Norris, either, because he girls were all so kind. The believed in me all along and girls were coming up to me, he pushed me and saw pointroducing themselves and tential,” Vieira said. “From

day one he told me rugby would do great things in my life.”

For Norris, who led the U19 team to a 26-3 record this past season with losses only to the national champions and the runner up to go along with the team’s 12th state championship, rugby has been a part of his life for quite some time.

A native of west Texas, Norris moved to the area and met a guy who knew Tom Ingles, the former head football coach at Kentwood. When they found out he had played rugby in college and he could coach, Norris got his foot in the door at the school.

More importantly, Norris met his wife thanks to a trip with the rugby squad to France.

“It helped me get this job, it helped me get married,

it’s flown me all over the world,” Norris said.

The U19 squad draws girls from close to 10 schools in the area, not just the Kent high schools, and it’s helped open doors for Cassidy Meyers.

While Meyers may now be known for winning a state wrestling title this past winter as a junior at Kentwood, rugby may well be where her long term future is in athletics.

Meyers took up rugby in seventh grade after learning about it from a classmate.

“I thought it was kind of interesting,” Meyers said.

“When I first started playing it was all really confusing. I had no clue what was going on and why there were doing the things that they were doing. After I had [ more RUCK page 17 ]

Olive Leaf Vascular Support

5th Sunday is Praise & Worship

Many of the validated benefits of the Mediterranean diet derive from heart-healthy compounds contained in the olive fruit, including the polyphenols tyrosol and hydroxytyrosol.

When it comes to olive’s power to support blood pressures already within a healthy range, research shows the bioactive compound oleuropein is primarily responsible.

The problem is that optimal amounts of oleuropein are not found in the fruit. The highest concentrations of oleuropein are contained in the olive leaf – a part of the plant that is neither readily available nor commonly consumed.

Oleuropein normally degrades during standard food processing. For this reason, Life ExtensionÂŽ introduces Olive Leaf Vascular Support.

Olive Leaf Vascular Support consist of a patented, standardized oleuropein extract using a unique, gentle-processing technique.

The suggested daily serving of two 500 mg vegetarian capsules of Olive Leaf Vascular Support supplies optimal concentrations of the proprietary, highly-stable oleuropein, for maximum benefit.

Caution: Consult your healthcare provider before taking this product if you are being prescribed antihypertensive medication.

[ GUEST OP from page 6 ] day was extended from 7:35 a.m. to 5 p.m., students attend Saturday classes twice a month and enroll in summer school, adding 540 hours of study to their school year.

Within a semester, the achievement gap between white students and students of color had vanished. Today, more than 90 percent of the class of 2012 is on track to graduate, compared with about 60 percent of their peers at Lincoln High.

An innovative program in Tacoma is changing those statistics.

In 2007, only 17 percent of incoming freshmen at Tacoma’s Lincoln High School met middle school standards in math and only 34 percent met reading standards.

In response, the Tacoma Public Schools created The Lincoln Center, a school within a school. The school

We need that kind of flexibility and innovation if we are to improve the value of public education.

Lastly, we are failing to meet the growing demand for graduates skilled in math and science.

Increasingly, jobs require skilled workers proficient in math and science, but a distressing 40 percent of students entering science, technology, engineering and mathematics tracks in college leave their programs

in the first year.

These disciplines require time, discipline and hard work to master, and it is difficult to find teachers skilled in those subjects. Too often, teachers who have mastered math and science leave public education for better jobs in business and industry. One solution is to pay math and science teachers higher salaries to keep them in education.

Another is to teach teachers how to teach math

and science. As a college freshman, my trigonometry instructor was an exceptional teacher. She could sense when students were not keeping pace and would provide extra help after class. If the whole class had a problem, she would stop, go back and review the material.

As a sophomore, my professor had mastered calculus, but he was a poor teacher. He just went through the motions.

If we are to realize Gov. Locke’s goal of making education the great equalizer, we need to keep students in school, ensure they master their subjects before moving on, and find (and reward) teachers who can effectively teach the math and science skills students need to succeed in today’s high-tech world.
