BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

A Meridian Valley Country Club condo association plans to sue Kent Mayor Suzette Cooke for failing to pay a condo assess-

ment fee of $4,071 to paint the complex.

The Meridian Valley Condo Five Association sent notice to Cooke on May 1 that her payment is 30 days late and that it plans to sue Cooke in order to get the payment, according to documents provided to the

Kent Reporter. The complex sits along the fifth fairway of the Meridian Valley Country Club on the East Hill.

Kent School Board agrees with public priorities for levy allocations Board considers funding fifth-grade band, elementary school counselors and elementary librarians as first three line items FOR THE REPORTER

The recently passed four-year levy allows the Kent School District School Board an opportunity to restore some programs lost during past budget reductions.

The additional funds available for program restoration are limited to between $3 million and $4 million dollars per year. Since the list of possible restorations exceeds that amount, the board invited the public to respond with their preferences through a survey and at public hearings during the last few weeks.

At the April 30 school board meeting, the board discussed their review of the survey results and gave the administration recommendations as to its restorative priorities for the upcoming school year.

Administrative staff will now develop a budget based on the board’s recommendations that will be adopted in August.

The board agreed with the public’s priorities, which are below. The board recom-

mended funding the first three items given the current available budget capacity.

1. Fifth-grade band and strings 2. Elementary school guidance counselors 3. Elementary librarian/instructional technology specialists (Fund) 4. High school Advance Via Individual Determination (AVID) Program 5. Middle School Instructional Technology Coaches 6. After-school buses 7. Eliminate “Pay to Participate” 8. Middle school baseball, fastpitch softball and field technician School Board President Debbie Strauss said, “We are very appreciative to everyone who expressed their opinions. The input provided by our staff, parents, students, and community members is invaluable as we consider options for the 2014-15 budget.”

Liquor control board issues lottery results for marijuana retail outlets

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

Kent's first recreational marijuana retail outlets could open someday at two locations along Central Avenue South and another site on South 228th Street.

Applicants at those three sites received the top three spots for potential Kent outlets after the state Liquor Control Board posted its statewide lottery results on Friday.

The trade names and locations of the three in order are: • Giving Tree, 8504 S. 228th St. • Phat Sacks Corp., 534 Central Ave. S. • Soo P Hong, 604 Central Ave. S.

Just three retail stores are allowed in Kent under state law and nine applicants met preliminary rules out of an initial list of 18. Each of the top three applicants must pass the rest of the licensing process or the liquor board will withdraw the application and move to the next applicant on the list, according to a liquor board media release The liquor board plans to issue the first licenses in July, when stores would be able to open.

In Kent, however, the City Council in April unanimously passed another six-month moratorium on any marijuana businesses. The city's

Kirkland-based Sno-King Ice Arenas could become the new owner of the Kent Valley Ice Centre, which serves numerous youth hockey players and offers recreational skating.

Sno-King, which owns arenas in Renton and Kirkland, reached a purchase agreement in March with Urban Landmark Corp., the owners of the facility that opened in 2001 and sits a mile west of the cityowned ShoWare Center. But any sale remains tied up in U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

“At this point the property owner has filed chapter 11 (bankruptcy) and we will be waiting to see what happens with that,” said Gordon Brown, executive director of the Sno-King Amateur Hockey Association, in a Tuesday email.

The nonprofit Sno-King group owns and operates the Renton and Kirkland ice arenas and has offered youth hockey and skating since 1964 in the Seattle area.

Sno-King plans to proceed with its purchase of Valley Ice Centre subject to feasibility, financing and court approval.

“The Board of Directors, staff members, and I are thrilled to add Kent Valley Ice Centre to our portfolio of rinks,” Brown said in a notice on the Sno-King’s website.

“It’s an excellent, established facility with an active and loyal customer base, a solid revenue stream and a supportive partnership with the city of Kent.”

The city owns the property occupied by the arena next to Russell Road Park. The property and parking were obtained on a 40-to 50-year lease from the city that includes providing the city’s Parks, Recreation & Community Services Department two hours per weekday for instructional use, according to the city website.

Tom Brubaker, city interim chief administrative officer, said the site has a complicated recent past as it has flipped back and forth between bankruptcy and receivership.

“The bankruptcy court is in control at this point,” Brubaker said in an email. “If the new operator (who could still be the current operator) seeks an amendment to the lease, the city will perhaps gain some leverage to impact who the next operator is and what conditions the city might require in exchange for the lease extension.”

Brown said he will work with the Kent Valley Hockey Association, which oversees youth hockey programs at the Valley Ice Centre, “to continue to grow Kent into a thriving and affordable hockey program for years to come.”

Lew Sellers, president of the Kent Valley Hockey Association (KVHA), said his group hasn’t met yet with Sno-King as it waits to see whether the sale goes through or not.

“We really don’t have any idea what they might have had planned for Kent Valley Hockey Association,” Sellers said in an email. [ more CENTRE page 4 ]

[ MAYOR from page 1 ]

“If it turned out that Sno-King had succeeded in purchasing the Ice Centre, we would have been eager to meet with them and discuss how we could work together while retaining our identity as Kent Valley Hockey Association, a Kent community based youth hockey association.�

The hockey teams from the two groups compete in the North Puget Sound Hockey League and have been rivals for years.

The Valley Ice Centre has been in foreclosure for several years, Sellers said. He sent a notice last Friday to KVHA members to update them about financial issues at the facility.

Sellers said the center has been operated by the Doner and Grauer families since it opened and that when financial deals are finalized the facility, “will remain a community asset and home to the Kent Valley Hockey Association for many years to come.�

financial obligations,� said Susan St. Clair, a condo owner in the six-unit complex and spokeswoman for the association, during a phone interview. “She’s not returned any calls or messages. She doesn’t say anything.�

Cooke, in a Tuesday interview at the mayor’s office, said she hadn’t received any notices, calls or memos from the association. When shown a copy of a May 4 memo that said the association planned to take legal action, Cooke said she had only one thing to say. “No comment,� the mayor said as she declined to answer any further questions about the dispute.

Cooke said prior to ending the interview that she hadn’t paid the assessment fee.

Cooke is in the first year of her third four-year term as mayor. She is paid an annual salary of $102,000.

St. Clair said she decided on behalf of the association to go public with Cooke’s failure to pay. “I think people should know that this woman is managing a $200 million (city) budget and she can’t even manage her own personal finances,�

St. Clair said. “She had committed to the painting and the lighting last year.�

The mayor presents the city budget to the City Council but the council oversees and adopts the budget, said Council President Dana Ralph in response to whether Cooke’s personal financial issues could impact the city. “Her personal business is her personal business at this point,� Ralph said during a phone interview. “It has no impact on the financial health of the city.�

As far as the condo fee, Cooke made a motion at the April 19, 2012 homeowners association meeting that each homeowner would be assessed their portion of the painting cost at the time of the painting, according to an April 24 memo to Cooke. The memo also stated that Cooke signed a sheet this past March 3 that the fee for the painting cost would be due April 1 along with the first 2014 quarterly dues payment of $750.

Cooke said she paid the dues fee of $750. St. Clair confirmed that Cooke had paid that amount.

Another memo sent by the association describes that the other five owners must pay the $1,067 to cover the lack of payment by Cooke. That amount includes the painting as well as new fees for lighting and legal costs.

Kent Valley Ice Centre, which serves numerous youth hockey players and offers recreational skating, may soon have a new owner. Sno-King, which owns arenas in Renton and Kirkland, reached a purchase agreement in March with Urban Landmark Corp., the owners of the Kent facility that opened in 2001. COURTESY PHOTO The Ice Centre has long been trying to resolve its financing issues with its bank, Sellers said in his letter to members. “When the Ice Centre was built in 2001, its original loans were on 14-year amortization schedules, creating a fairly aggressive repayment

schedule on the operations,�

Sellers said. “For a variety of reasons, the Ice Centre has never been able to renegotiate the loans on better terms.�

Lexi Doner, one of the owners, didn’t return an email from the Kent Reporter for comment about the potential sale of the arena.

The liquor board's next steps for the top three applicants in Kent is to make sure they pass a criminal history and financial investigation as well as have a location that is not within 1,000 feet of a school, park or other area specified in I-502 as places where children congregate.

Licensing staff also continues to process producer and processor applications, which will provide the marijuana for the retail outlets. As of April 30, the liquor board had issued 25 producer and processor licenses.

The other six Kent applicants for retail outlets in order of their lottery ranking are: • Odyssey Smoke Shop, 24816 Pacific Highway S. • Heaven Bound 420 Cannabis Boutique, 1734 Central Ave. S. • Hazy Days, 534 Central Ave. S. • Herbal Choice Caregivers, 19011 68th Ave. S. • Happy Highway, 534 Central Ave. S. • Twisted Greens Corp., 534 Central Ave. S.

[ OUTLETS from page 3 ] businesses because the drug remains illegal under federal law and it wants some control about where the businesses might locate if it decides to allow them.

City staff will present potential zoning code changes for marijuana businesses later this year to the city's Land Use and Planning Board, which then will make a recommendation to the council about where businesses might be allowed in the city. The land use board or council also could decide to ban the businesses.

If Kent applicants receive a recreational marijuana license from the liquor board, the city won't issue them any permits because of the ban, said Pat Fitzpatrick, acting city attorney. If the business opens anyway, he said the city will take action. The liquor board will issue licenses to applicants even if a city bans recreational marijuana businesses.

THE CITY OF KENT is honoring those employees who provide and maintain the community’s public facilities and services during National Public Works Week May 19-23. Residents can learn about public services firsthand by attending an open house Tuesday, May 20, from 1 to 4 p.m. in the parking lot

between City Hall and Centennial Center at 400 W. Gowe St. The free event features climb-on displays of public works equipment, including a backhoe, excavator and snowplow.

Other highlights include interactive and informational displays in the Centennial Center lobby.

St. Clair said the legal costs were for rewriting the association’s rules and regulations so if anyone leaves without paying fees or goes through a bankruptcy, the association is first in line for payments. “We’ll pay it but we will take legal steps to get the money because she committed to it last year,� St. Clair said.

It’s unfair to the other condo owners that Cooke didn’t pay her assessment, said St. Clair, who recently moved into the complex after purchasing a condo in December. “We have a neighbor in his 80s and a couple in their 90s and I feel bad for these people because she’s dumping her financial obligations on all of us and trying to get away scot-free and I just think it’s wrong,� St. Clair said.

Cooke previously served as president of the condo association. The condos were built in the 1970s. “I expect payment and don’t want to be bullied around because she doesn’t want to pay her assessment,� St.Clair said.

Cooke said during a phone interview last week about the April 24 memo that she had moved out of the condo and now lives with her mother in Kent. She said she had received foreclosure warnings from the bank but not a final notice.

The mayor said she has had to start over financially since her husband David Cooke committed suicide in June 2009. Cooke found out after her husband’s death that he listed their possessions only in his name, including the condo that he used as leverage for his Kent business ESP Printing, Inc. Cooke thought she owned part of the business but did not.

ESP Printing filed chapter 11 protection in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in 2009 with debt of $6.45 million, including $4.7 million to HomeStreet Bank. McCallum Print Group bought the business in November 2009 for $3.3 million with all of that money used to pay off debt.

Suzette Cooke said she filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2011 because of the high costs of dealing with her husband’s estate. David Cooke did not have a will. She said her mother lost money in the printing company as well.

According to U.S. Bankruptcy Court documents, Suzette Cooke had 11 creditors, including five banks, two attorneys, a dentist and the estate of David Cooke.

[ MAGGIE from page 1 ] “You have to have a sense of humor,” said the 76-year-old Colin, taking a break from her work at Kent’s Northwest Kidney Center last week. “Laughter is good.”

It also helps assuage the challenges, the responsibilities of working closely with those from all walks, patients who visit the center as many as three times a week for extensive dialysis. The Kent center serves 104 patients.

“You have to be a very unselfish person to do this type of work,” she said.

Colin, who was among the first RNs to establish guidelines and procedures for home dialysis care, retires Friday after 51 years of continuous service in the profession. She leaves her craft with a sense of fulfillment and lasting memories.

“It’s amazing. I never thought of it (being that long),” Colin said of her

career. “It does not seem that long.”

The Northwest Kidney Center was established in 1962 as the world’s first outpatient dialysis treatment center. Colin came aboard a year later, and has been a part of the forefront effort ever since.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, N.Y., Colin is the youngest – and today, the last survivor – of nine children. Her father was a plumber, her mother a homemaker.

Colin, who trained to become an RN in Brooklyn, soon was persuaded to try something new. When Louise Colin earned a scholarship for a master’s degree in nursing at the University of Washington in 1962, she asked if her sister would come out to Seattle.

“I said, ‘What would I do there?’” Colin recalled. “She said, ‘They’re doing dialysis.’

And I said, ‘I have no idea what it is and what to do.’

be taken to for any reason.”

The student said that the school has an anti-bullying campaign, but feels that most of the time it falls on deaf ears.

According to the student, students videotape fights on smartphones in the school and post them to social media outlets such as Facebook.

Veronica Peters removed her daughter from the school over concern for her safety. The girl received a litany of threats and harassment on Facebook, saying that she was going to “get jumped” and “get your ass beat.”

When they asked the school what they planned on doing about the problem, they got silence, Peters said.

“We went to the school, they said their hands are tied. We spoke to the vice principal and she said that they would look into it and

“She said, ‘No one else does either.’”

The Pacific Northwest needed nurses for a novel idea at the time – outpatient dialysis care. Such a move in the 1960s brought significant change to how patients were treated, but it also shifted the dynamics and functions of doctors and nurses. Nurses began to take on a more independent role in the judgment, treatment and supervision of patients.

At the time, Colin and her cohorts set standards that remain in place today for dialysis centers throughout the world.

The Northwest Kidney Center continues to educate the public about kidney health and collaborates with UW Medicine in the Kidney Research Institute.

All told, the Northwest Kidney Center’s staff of 590 delivers more than 250,000 treatments a year in 15 nonprofits’ dialysis centers and 10 area hospitals. It also

They never did,” Peters said.

“It’s a school full of thugs, they have no discipline and they don’t seem to care to want to discipline anything,” she continued.

While one student said others like herself at the Kent Technology Academy at Mill Creek are insulated from the bullying, it isn’t as easy for other students such as Danielle.

Despite the stories of harassment and fights at the school, Mill Creek senior staff have done little to curtail the problems, say several teachers who asked to remain anonymous.

“Kids know there’s no boundaries,” said one teacher, “the kids run the school.”

The teacher explained that faculty who send too many students to the office are talked to by the vice principal and told to refer the

maintains one of the country’s largest training and support programs for people who wish to give themselves dialysis at home.

Home dialysis, Colin said, is the biggest change in the industry. Patients feel better when they receive dialysis more than three times a week. “They feel much better. Infections are down; complications are minimal,” Colin said.

But sadly, according to Colin, in-center dialysis treatment has made little progress.

students less. “As the year progressed we would get in trouble for writing up too many referrals,” said a teacher.

The teachers continued to say that around two months ago, Mill Creek Principal Sherilyn Ulland told her staff that if they couldn’t handle the discipline problems, they should find work at another school.

Ulland denied the allegations that she had discouraged reporting or told her staff to be more lenient on disciplinary write ups.

“I’ve never asked a teacher not to report an incident,” she said.

Kent School District officials could not address specific claims and responses to bullying due to student privacy concerns. They did reassert their stance on the issue though.

a video of the beating at school and laughed about it in front of teachers and students, Whitman wondered why the school couldn’t at least follow up by penalizing them.

“They recorded this beat-down and then they brought the fight back to (Mill Creek),” Whitman said. She has yet to receive a response.

Danielle’s story isn’t unique. The girl has asked the Kent Reporter to remain anonymous, choosing a different first name and not using her last name.

According to another student, Alexander Long, there have been as many as seven fights at Mill Creek this year. One of the most recent fights left a girl unconscious and was broken up by security officer Roberto Fuller and

two Kent Police officers. Students threaten other students with assault, attack teachers and bully other students both in school and online.

“Kids will be kids,” the old adage goes, but people want to know at what point does typical teenage behavior cross the line into violent and dangerous actions that threaten students and teachers alike?

Mill Creek has a strong positive public image, an award-winning school featuring innovative programs. But the newly renovated school at the base of the East Hill is dealing with a second, and much seedier face. Bullying, violence and disciplinary problems are rampant in the school, according to teachers and students.

“It’s hardcore, it freaks me out,” said an eighth-grader, who wanted to remain anonymous. “It’s taken to a level that no situation should

As with many in our generation, we are beginning to recognize our population is aging and that there are still many needs that must be addressed to support our seniors in Kent, Covington, Auburn, Maple Valley and all of South King County.

We are concerned that there is no not-for-profit skillednursing and rehabilitation center in South King County.

In our experience, this type of nonprofit nursing home facility provides the best and trusted care for our loved ones.

Let’s keep big oil trains out of our way Editor’s note: Billy Frank, Jr., a Nisqually elder who fought for treaty rights, died Monday at age 83. The Kent Reporter is running Frank’s latest column in his honor.

Our environment, health, safety and communities are at risk from decisions being made

now to transport and export trainloads of coal and oil through Western Washington.

If coal export terminals proposed for Cherry Point near Bellingham, and Longview on the Columbia River are ap-

OUR CORNER

“Would you support a $15 minimum wage in Kent?”

Dennis Box

?

Question of the week:

The subject this week is the seventh grade.

I remember seventh grade as the time the world ended.

In the seventh grade, girls suddenly decided I was surreptitiously swallowing snot.

I immediately defended myself and said, “No, no, it’s lumpy buttermilk.” Then I would limp and throw my right arm backward and claim I had been gored by a cow. Maybe if I had said a Spanish bull ran over me in Argentina I would have gotten their sympathy.

The great limp-cow gore whine always failed, no matter how many times I tried it.

The girls ran away and pointed.

That still happens when I enter a room, but it’s not girls anymore. It’s government officials – and everyone else.

Speaking of government officials and the seventh grade, after years of covering and following many city councils, commissions and government hopscotch, the images of seventhgrade cliques with pointing and giggling from across the dance floor keep returning to me.

With the 2014 political season officially breaking out of the gates, I have been trying to figure out the best method to choose a candidate for office.

If the candidates are new to the elected positions, most of the ideas they put forward will fall off the cliff once they take a seat.

Government is designed to be slower than a teenager cleaning his room and about as transparent – despite all the grand statements about being open.

If the candidate is an incumbent and states that he or she is not a politician, become nervous and check for a rash.

Ask the candidate if an alien with furry hands flew in from the planet Make Believe to pound signs into the ground.

I thought maybe the test should be to find out if the candidate has graduated beyond the seventh grade.

proved, hundreds of trains and barges would run from Montana and Wyoming every day, spreading coal dust along the way. That same coal will continue to pollute our world when it is burned in China and other countries thousands of miles away.

Now that threat is joined by

something about this. They are volunteering their time and efforts to support building such a center on the Wesley Homes Lea Hill campus.

This Medicare- and Medicaid-certified center will have 36 private rooms with bathrooms, providing privacy and dignity for residents and rehab patients. More than 80 percent of the rooms are projected for community-wide usage.

More than $1 million has been raised toward the $2 million goal to help build the $6.6 million health center. The City of Auburn, civic leaders, community service groups, businesses and a number of committed individuals are generously supporting the campaign. Interested parties may contact the Wesley Homes Foundation at 206-870-1126.

As lifelong South King County residents, we are blessed to be a part of this wonderful and generous community, and we need to continue to recognize and [ more LETTERS page 7 ]

proposals to use mile-long crude oil trains to feed massive new oil terminals in Grays Harbor. Safety is a huge concern. Since 2008 nearly a dozen oil trains have been derailed in the U.S. In December, a fire burned for over 24 hours after a 106-car train carrying crude oil collided with a grain train in North Dakota. In July, an oil train accident killed 47 people and leaked an estimated 1.5 million gallons of oil in Quebec, Canada. [ more BEING FRANK page 7 ]

Reform? Send back illegal immigrants In regards to Debra Harmann’s letter (“Immigration reform needed”, Kent Reporter, April 25), I wonder where she gets her information or her facts.

She says that Washington residents overwhelmingly support the passage of comprehensive immigration reform with a path to citizenship. This statement is so wrong it is almost laughable.

Ninety percent of the people in Washington do not believe in undocumented laborers, they are illegal aliens. They have entered our country illegally and should

Community to honor Prothero A celebration of Mark Prothero’s life is Saturday at the Kentwood High School Commons, 25800 164th Ave. SE, Covington.

The open house is from 1 to 5 p.m.

Prothero – prominent criminal defense attorney, civic leader, community volunteer and coach – died April 19 at his Kent home with family at his side.

Prothero, who had waged a two-year battle with lung cancer, was 57.

Prothero is best known as one of the lead defense attorneys in the high-profile case against Ridgway between 2001 and 2003.

As co-counsel, Prothero brokered a plea deal that spared Ridgway the death penalty in exchange for the Auburn man confessing to 49 counts of aggravated murder.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that any donations be sent to either the www.KentParksFoundation.org or www.HuskySwimmingFoundation.com.

[ BEING FRANK from page 6 ] It’s clear that crude oil can be explosive and the tankers used to transport it by rail are simply unsafe.

These oil trains are an accident waiting to happen to any town along the route from the oil fields of the Midwest to the shores of western Washington.

Plans for shipping crude oil from Grays Harbor also include dredging the Chehalis River estuary, which will damage habitat needed by fish, shellfish and birds. Large numbers of huge tanker ships moving in and out of the harbor would interfere with Indian and nonIndian fisheries and other vessel traffic.

The few jobs that the transport and export of coal and oil offer would come at the cost of catastrophic damage to our environment

Committed to the full term

I am a 66-year-old man who has worked hard all my life.

Three years ago, I lost my left leg four inches above the knee. A short time later, I started having what is called phantom pains.

Pain from a part of you that is no longer there, but your mind feels as well as you. Horrible pain like you have never felt.

I told my doctor, and he gave me a medical marijuana prescription. I tried it to see if it could help. It has taken away the worst of the pain.

But you, the mayor and Kent City Council, are saying no the people that elected you. How and what gives you so much selfpower? It’s not the people. How

I read Virginia Amato’s Auburn Reporter announcement of candidacy for King County District Court Judge, Southeast Division, Position 5, wherein it stated the current judge, Richard Bathum, was retiring and endorsing her.

Now it appears that Judge Bathum may not retire as he too has filed paperwork with the PDC. While I respect whatever decision he may ultimately make, I am unequivocally certain I want to be elected King County District Court judge. Further, I can as-

for years. We would have to live with that damage for many years.

Everyone knows that oil and water don’t mix, and neither do oil and fish, oil and wildlife, or oil and just about everything else. It’s not a matter of whether spills will happen, it’s a matter of when.

Thankfully, the Quinault Indian Nation is taking a stand.

“The history of oil spills provides ample, devastating evidence that there are no reasonable conditions under which these proposed terminal projects should proceed,” says my friend, Fawn Sharp, president of the Quinault Indian Nation. “We oppose oil in Grays Harbor.

This is a fight we can’t afford to lose. We’re in it to win. Our fishing, hunting and gathering rights are being jeopardized by the immediate and future

impacts of these proposed developments.”

Right now public hearings are being held and Environmental Impact Statements are being developed for these oil export schemes.

You can send comments to Maia Bellon, Director of the Department of Ecology, 300 Desmond Drive, Lacey, WA 98503-1274.

I urge you to join the Quinault Indian Nation and the many others who are battling Big Oil on this issue. Email ProtectOurFuture@quinault.org or more information.

“We have a responsibility to protect the land and water for the generations to come. Together, we can build a sustainable economy without sacrificing our environment,” Sharp says.

She’s right.

PEOPLE DROPPED OFF 304 pounds of unwanted prescription drugs during a special collection day on April 26 by the Kent Police.

The collection was part of the DEA National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. “Thank you to all who dropped off all of your unwanted medications on Saturday,” the Kent Police posted on its Twitter account. “We collected 11 boxes for a total of 304.4 pounds. That is a huge step towards safe disposal and keeping medications out of the hands of those that misuse.”

She says that there are a number of different counselors and support staff available to children.

They include mental health services on campus and an AmeriCorps “mentor.�

Ulland was unable to comment on the situation with either Danielle or the Peters’ daughter because of privacy concerns. “Everybody wants the best for their children,�

Loftis said in reference to the withdrawals, “so when people take actions to get what they perceive is a better situation, that’s

something that we’re always supportive of.�

The district also faces a difficult situation with finding the appropriate penalties for problem students.

Suspending a student for too long can cause them to fail out of school all together and “change the trajectory of their life,� said Loftis, while being too lenient won’t get the message across.

The reality of Danielle and the Peters’ situations is that ultimately, unchecked bullying at Mill Creek can deprive good students of good teachers, instead

of getting rid of the bad students. “Why does she have to go through the pain of this?�

Whitman said. “Her protection, and not having to hide is more important than staying at Mill Creek.�

While it can reflect positively on a school’s report card to have a minimal amount of expulsions and suspensions, an underreporting of incidents could prolong a problem that can eventually have serious consequences. Sooner or later, Whitman said, these students will grow up and trade the fists for knives.

Officer tases fleeing cyclist, recovers drug paraphernalia

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

A Kent Police officer shot a fleeing bicyclist with a Taser dart after the man refused to stop during a pursuit.

The officer arrested the man for investigation of obstructing an officer and possession of drug paraphernalia after spotting two bicyclists riding without helmets at about 7 p.m. April 26 along 104th Avenue Southeast near Southeast 240th Street, according to the police report. City law requires bicyclists to wear helmets.

The officer pulled his patrol vehicle into a parking lot to stop the two bicyclists for not wearing helmets. One of the bicyclists stopped, the other one pedaled away.

After a short search, the officer saw the bicyclist who pedaled

away near the Chevron at 10715 S.E. 240th St. The officer activated his vehicle’s overhead lights and siren and used the vehicle’s public address system to order the cyclist to stop.

The bicyclist looked back at the officer but then started pedaling faster, riding southbound on 108th Avenue Southeast toward a footpath at the end of a road. The officer exited his vehicle at the muddy path and started to chase the man on the bike.

The cyclist ignored further orders to stop. The officer then pulled out his Taser and shot the man with a dart. The man fell off the bike. Police ordered the man to stay on the ground. A second officer arrived and the two handcuffed the man.

The man told police he kept riding because he feared cops after police had used excessive

Police

BLOTTER force against him during a previous incident.

Police transported the man to the city jail. Officers found a syringe and glass smoking pipe, which often is used to smoke meth or crack cocaine.

Assault Officers arrested a woman for investigation of fourth-degree assault after she reportedly scratched her boyfriend on the face during a dispute at a bus stop on April 25, near 64th Avenue South and South 240th Street.

A passerby called 911 to report a man who had a woman in a headlock near the bus stop, ac-

cording to the police report. The two were last seen boarding a Metro Transit bus.

An officer went to the downtown bus transit center on Railroad Avenue and spotted a couple getting off a bus who matched the description from the caller.

Police stopped the couple walking through the transit center and talked to them. The woman admitted to police they had a fight and that she scratched her boyfriend’s face. She said she was upset because he left her at home and went out with friends.

Officers also arrested the boyfriend because he had warrants out of Des Moines for operating a vehicle without an ignition interlock device and failure to appear for a driving while license suspended.

Officers noted the woman had no cuts, bruises or scratches on

her. The witness said she did not see either the man or woman hit each other.

False statement Police arrested a woman for investigation of giving a false statement after she allegedly made up a name at about 1:48 a.m. April 29 in the 3600 block of South 241st Street.

Officers responded to a call of a suspicious pickup parked in a high crime area.

Police found a woman and a man near the pickup. The woman gave a false name to police because she had many warrants against her. Officers discovered the woman had warrants for theft 2 out of Seattle, failure to appear out of Fife and driving while license suspended out of Des Moines.

ity area, demonstrations, a hands-on bug zoo, more than 150 vendors and much more.

Vendors include non-profit organizations and rescues, such as the Auburn Valley Humane Society, Wolf Haven International and Greyhound Pets of America. You’ll also see a variety of local and regional hand-crafted artists featuring an assortment of animal-related items.

Also to be seen are service vendors, such as veterinarians, groomers and trainers, such as Family Dog Training Center and All Dogs Training Services. Attendees will also see a variety of commercial vendors such as Pet Pros, Well Pet and Blue Buffalo Co. Also offered throughout the event is a local competition of the 2014 Hyperflite Skyhoundz Disc Dog Championships.

Hyperflite’s sponsorship of the Skyhoundz Canine Disc World Championship series is the largest disc-dog series in the world.

There is no entry fee for competitors, and admission is free for all spectators (www. hyperflite.com/competition.html).

Back again is the widely popular 20’ x 40’ petting zoo, a Kids’ AG-Ventureland Activity Area, GASCAR Crazy Animal Racing and Farmyard Follies Shows, all contracted through the Great American Animal Entertainment Co.. This petting zoo is a different kind of petting zoo.

There are no barriers once inside the

enclosure, and all the animals run freely with the public. The zoo includes a wide variety of animals, such as wallabies, llamas and exotic goats. The AG-Ventureland includes goat and cow milking, corn and bean play boxes, pony saddling and more. The exciting GASCAR races is inter-species animal racing like you’ve never seen before. Goats, sheep, chickens, pigs and other surprise animals wear racing silks as they hoof and waddle their way around, and sometimes, over the track. Finally, the Farmyard Follies is a delightful show that includes animal behavior, hilarious antics and interesting facts.

New to this year’s festival are zebra and camel rides.

There will be plenty of activities to keep humans and animals entertained at Auburn’s seventh annual Petpalooza festival. Petpalooza is sponsored by Green River Veterinary Hospital and Laser Surgery, Banfield Pet Hospital, Del’s Feed & Farm Supply, Reber Ranch, PetSmart and Petco. Media support courtesy of 100.7 The Wolf, Radio Disney Seattle and Pet Connection Magazine.

Tahoma blanks Kentridge in SPSL North

BY ROSS COYLE

rcoyle@kentreporter.com

FUNNY CARS TO PACE SUPER SATURDAY Pacific Raceways returns to its drag racing heritage on Saturday as a full field of Funny Cars is expected to compete in a Chicago-style format, part of a Super Saturday featuring NHRA class racers and the Swift Tool ET Series. Headlining the Funny Car contingent will be Kim Parker’s 2013 Northwest BB/ FC Association champion “Hell on Wheels” and Greg Howland’s 2010 champion “Zeus.” Joining the Funny Cars will be NHRA class competitors, including the wheel standing Stock/Super Stock muscle cars; the super categories of Super Street, Super Gas and Super Comp plus race No. 3 in the 13-race Swift Tool ET Series.

Gates will open at 8 a.m. with racing beginning at 10 a.m.

Funny Cars will run at 4, 6 and 8 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults, $5 for kids 6 to 15.

The Tahoma High School boys soccer team knocked Kentridge down to third in the South Puget Sound League North on May 1, as the Chargers struggled to pick up a single goal after Tahoma scored in the first half for the 1-0 victory.

As the game wore on, a visibly frustrated Kentridge offense made several key mistakes as it brought the ball downfield. Coach Glenn Walrond attributed some of that frustration to referee calls that distracted his players.

“Calls were made and we let that get into our heads, instead of just playing through it,” Walrond said. “You’re gonna have good calls and bad calls and instead of just focusing on if it’s a mistake or if it’s a call you don’t agree with, you gotta play.”

The loss of focus also

diminished the Chargers’ ability to make any shots on a goal, and gave Tahoma possession of the ball several times.

Tahoma and Kentridge each had four shots on goal, but the Chargers were only able to save three of those shots to Tahoma’s four.

“There was no consistency, no flow to the game,” Walrond said.

“The frustration level is just way too high,” Walrond continued, “the game of soccer is supposed to be about flow, and you can’t get into a flow if you don’t know what to expect.”

Walrond chalks both teams performances up to a lack of motion in the game.

Instead of a steady rhythm, the teams offensive pushes were broken up by penalties and lapses in concentration.

“I don’t think that either team played great, and I think that it’s indicative that you have a game that

Kentwood’s Weaver returns home with Seattle Sounders

BY ERIC MANDEL emandel@covingtonreporter.com

A traumatic injury often marks the end of a high school soccer player’s career. For Cam Weaver, though, it was the impetus for his success.

The Kentwood star stood on the sidelines with crutches following an ankle injury in the second game of the Conks’ 2002 state tournament run.

Weaver was a first team all-league selection, but had lost some interest in the game, quitting the club teams that are so crucial to elevating within

Paul DeLean goes for a header in Kentridge’s soccer match May 1 against Tahoma. Kentridge lost to the Bears 1-0. ROSS COYLE, Kent Reporter doesn’t have flow,” he said.

the sport. He had no definitive plans to play in college.

But as he watched his high school teammates limp to a third place finish in state, he couldn’t help but feel he was missing out on something.

“I had this strong feeling that if I would have been there playing we would have at least got to the championship game and been able to compete for a state championship,” Weaver said. “I was so bummed that I didn’t get to do that. I was like, ‘I can’t be done playing now.’ So I just decided to keep playing. I called the coach at Skagit Valley and told him I was going to try out.”

Weaver wowed at the nearby community college and eventually moved on to lead Seattle University in goals and the 2004 NCAA Division

After scoring 21 goals in 51 matches for a club in Norway’s top division and playing a role in two MLS Cup finals trips for the Houston Dynamos, the Kent native has returned home as a veteran reserve for the MLS’s Seattle Sounders, who currently sit atop the league standings.

The 30-year-old joined the Sounders on a tryout basis and has only seen action in one regular season game, but says he couldn’t be happier to be home.

T-Birds take Tyszka in WHL Bantam Draft The Seattle Thunderbirds junior hockey team selected defenseman Jerret Tyszka in the first round, 16th overall, in the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft on May 1 in Calgary, Alberta.

The 6-foot-1, 165-pound Tyszka played for the Langley Eagles in the PCBHL this past season. He played

68 games with the Eagles and had 74 points on 27 goals and 47 assists with 117 penalty minutes.

“Jarret is a big, mobile defenseman with a very nice combination of size and mobility. He has a physical presence on the ice, with strong offensive skills who could develop into a good two-way defenseman,” said Colin Alexander, T-Birds director of player personnel.

In the second round,

with the 32nd overall pick, the T-Birds selected left wing Matthew Wedman from the South Side Athletic Club Bantam team in Edmonton, Alberta.

The 6-foot, 165-pound Wedman had 72 points on 32 goals and 40 assists in 33 games with the South Side team.

With the 102nd overall pick the Thunderbirds chose right wing Wyatt Bear from Hodgson, Manitoba.

Pick out that special flower, plant for mom The second week of May has nurseries and garden centers full of flowers just in time for Mother’s Day, brides and June grads.

Here are some green ideas for gifting on these special spring occasions: For moms who garden on the cutting edge: Skip the traditional fuchsia basket or pots of geraniums and look for plants that are a bit unusual instead. Consider a vine like chocolate akebia with sweet scented puffy blooms, or an annual climber such as Black-eyed Susan or thunbergii. There are lots of new petunias available at garden centers this year including more of the bi-colored mini petunias or calibrachoa. If in doubt, look for plants labeled “Proven Winners,” and you’ll impress mom with your savvy shopping. Plants that earn the “Proven Winner” name are those that have been tested, evaluated and often times new and unusual. Cool new plants are affordable luxuries – that last longer than a cut flower display.

For moms who kill plants: Do you or your mom forget to water? Leave for long weekends in the summer or garden with the challenge of poor soil and full sun?

Sedums and succulents are fleshy plants with rich textural interest and are

now available planted in contemporary square containers, mixed in Tuscan-style pottery bowls or planted in cubes or frames to hang on a fence or wall. There are also popular perennials that come back year after year with very little attention or water demands. Sedum ‘Autumn Joy’ is a summer blooming plant with flat panicles of blooms that turn from green, to pink to rust as the summer turns to fall.

The golden groundcover sedum “Angelina” will crowd out weeds and turn into a living mulch that looks good even in the winter.

Sedums and succulents will give any Mom a hand with developing a green thumb.

The new hydrangeas that flower repeatedly all summer include “Endless Summer” hydrangeas in various colors and forms. You don’t need a lot of space to grow the more compact reblooming hydrangeas such as Pistachio, Blushing Bride.

In containers on a shaded patio look for the tuberous begonias with large rose-like blooms called ‘Non-Stop’ begonias. These really do flower non-stop all summer even in the deepest shade. For morning sun or areas that are mostly shaded and then blasted with hot afternoon sunshine, look for the vigorous and vivacious “Bonfire Begonia.”

This is a hardier angel wing begonia with numerous smaller blooms in bright orange or red that attracts humming birds from miles around.

For moms who love color:

Herbs for grads: This generation of graduates is greener and more food savvy than ever before.

Young people are growing edible plants on windowsills and in college dorm rooms even if they don’t yet have space in a garden bed.

A gift of potted sage, an easy to grow Mediterranean herb would be much appreciated by any foodie. There is a not so subtle message here – ever since Aristotle, sage is the herb that signifies wisdom – thus the term “sage advice.”

Northwest. I grew up here. I love everything about the area.”

A lot has changed since Weaver left his home more than seven years ago, including the unconditional love for the Seattle soccer club, which averages more than 38,000 fans for home games, and the fact that Covington is considered a town.

“Nobody referred to it as a city when growing up,” he said. “Used to just be an area.”

After signing with the Sounders, Weaver and his wife, Estrella, moved in with his parents, Bill and Julie Weaver, who still live in Kent. The pair eventually found an apartment in Capitol Hill and he is in the process of remodeling a home with his dad in Renton — roughly half way between home and the city.

The return home has predictably led to friends and family asking for Sounders gear, but Weaver loves how the city has embraced the team and is surprised to find friends from school who are now diehard fans.

“It’s not something I would have predicted when I was growing up around here,” Weaver said. “It’s not something I’d have even thought about.”

After years of playing heavy minutes, Weaver has taken on the role of mentor and veteran presence for the Sounders.

Sounders head coach Sigi Schmid said Weaver has done well and provides leadership and depth at the center-forward position. Schmid said and he expects Weaver’s 6-foot-4 inch frame could be useful as the season progresses.

“He’s different than our other forwards because he’s a big target in the air who is very dangerous in the air, which is

different than what (Obafemi Martins) is or (Clint) Dempsey, or some of the other guys we have up there,” Schmid said.

“There are still going to be times going forward in the season and in the Open Cup where that aerial presence is going to be important to us.”

Weaver knows injuries happen and that it’s hard for the starters to play every minute of every game. He says he will be ready when called upon.

“Everyone needs to contribute at some point during the season,” he said. “You always have to be ready. It’s something I know and it’s something I’m trying to tell all these other younger guys.”

The Sounders dish nearly $6.7 million, plus bonuses, to Dempsey, their star player.

Meanwhile, Weaver will earn just more than the veteran league minimum of $49,004 for his role this year. Weaver said he didn’t return to Seattle for the money and that pay differential is not a concern.

“The way (Dempsey’s) been playing lately he’s sure been earning it,” Weaver said. “He is a world class player. He’s been a good guy. I’ve been impressed watching and hanging out with him.”

Weaver suffered a knee injury earlier this year but has fought through, just like he decided to do with the Conks 12 years ago.

Kentwood soccer head coach Aaron Radford, who was the JV coach in 2002, remembers Weaver’s squad as likely the most talented in school history. He said he recently ran into Weaver and they reminisced about what could have been.

“We both agreed it was one of those tailor-made, picture-perfect teams,” Radford said. “There’s something to be said about not being able to finish your senior year the way you want. It still leaves a little empty spot inside you.”

Wave Petunias for the sun: If you want the most blooms for your buck I nominate the Wave petunia.

This fast growing groundcover petunia splashes across any sunny spot with oceans of bloom. You will need to loosen the topsoil, add some slow release plant food and water the young plants until they are established but in Western Washington these tough petunias have proven wind, rain and drought resistant.

This year you can find “Wave” petunias in bright shades of purple, pink and lavender. In hanging baskets or window boxes the Wave petunias also do well as long as you keep them fertilized and don’t allow the soil to dry out.

Hydrangeas and begonias for the shade:

Author launches project for new childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book Kelly Davis Beckley recently launched a campaign to help fund the publishing and distribution of her childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Faith, the Ugly Dogâ&#x20AC;?

(The Adventures of Buzzardillopossum).

Beckleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book is a heartwarming story of a sweet, and yes, ugly, little dog as she

www.kentreporter.com overcomes the hurtful actions of others to realize her true beauty and strength in life.

The illustrated book showcases Faith, a Jack Russell Terrier with a skin disease that has left her with no hair on her head, her tail or her ankles. Some have said that Faith is an ugly dog, but Beckley and Faith refuse to believe them.

As Beckley, of Kent, explains, the book conveys the true essence of humanity

Beckley and Faith

by teaching others to look beyond the normal stereotypes in life, so that they may

seek and appreciate the inner values of those around them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My goal is for the reader to forge a common bond with Faith who will inspire them to feel better and be more confident about who they are on the inside,â&#x20AC;? Beckley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My main goals for the book are to empower children to love, respect and believe in themselves in order to make the world a better place, provide an opportunity for adults to share an open dialogue with

F R A N C I S C A N C E N T E R F O R W E I G H T M A N AG E M E N T

children about Faithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s message that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK that people look different on the outside, and to inspire readers to see the world from Faithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique perspective.â&#x20AC;?

Beckley and her rescue dog are asking for donations to fund the project to publish a book that will motivate children everywhere to love, respect and believe in themselves, regardless of what they look like on the outside Beckleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to publish and distribute the book to children with cancer, children who might be victims of burns, children with a physical deformity or even children who are subject to bullying, so that they might benefit from the fundamental message of the story and help them through any difficult life

journey.

She also would like to distribute the book to many rescue shelters.

In return for participating, funders are offered gifts as a thanks. Higher-level funders also will have the opportunity to receive a reading by the author (with Faith in tow) at their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school; lunch for four with the author at a local Seattle restaurant; and an opportunity for their pet to become a character in a future book in the anticipated Adventures of Buzzardillopossum book series.

To learn more about the funding campaign and to pledge support for the book, visit the Kickstarter page at www.kickstarter. com/projects/faiththeuglydog/744115240.

What is Joint Tenancy?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m passionate about each patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success.â&#x20AC;?

Rita and Kayla, a combined 205 pounds lighter

Joint tenancy is a form of ownership in which two or more persons own an asset jointly. Upon the death of one, the ownership of the asset is presumed to pass to the surviving joint owner(s) without probate.

Sometimes joint tenancy is useful. But it may be inconsistent with the provisions of the Will and create uncertainty or conflict after death.

In other cases, joint tenancy can disrupt a plan to minimize estate taxes.

Protect your right to distribute your estate as you intend in a cost-effective manner. Consult an estate planning attorney.

8 Kent schools earn state’s highest honor Eight schools in the Kent School District have been awarded 2013 Washington Achievement Awards. One school, Martin Sortun Elementary, won four awards.

Award winners are selected from indexes and data the state collects from standardized tests. Schools are recognized in several categories, including overall excellence, high progress, reading and math growth, extended graduation rate

(awarded to high schools and comprehensive schools only) and English language acquisition.

The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction and the State Board of Education sponsor the award.

Schools who received special recognition in reading growth include: Carriage Crest; Grass Lake and Martin Sortun elementary; and Kentridge High School.

Schools qualified for the award when they are in the top 5 percent based on median growth percentiles (MGPs) in reading. MGPs summarize student growth.

Schools who received awards for high progress are: Kent Mountain View Academy; Kentwood High School; Mattson Middle School; and Martin Sortun.

They qualified for the award by being in the top 10 percent of schools making the most progress in the performance of all students over three years.

Kent-Meridian High School received special recognition in English language acquisition. K-M is in the top-5 percent of highest performing schools based on the median point gain on the Washington English

Kent-Meridian’s Kate Khazoyan and Kentridge’s Tracy Tran have won Boeing-sponsored National Merit Scholarship awards. Khazoyan’s probable career field is biomedical engineering, Tran’s computer science. …

Fairwood Elementary School has been recognized by the King County’s annual Earth Heroes at School program. The award honors students, parents, teachers and other school employees who have shown a strong commitment to the environment
