Kent to spend $2.6 million for LED street lights

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

Brighter and more cost efficient LED street lights are expected to be shining over numerous Kent

roads later this year.

City officials are planning to spend about $2.6 million to replace the nearly 2,600 cityowned street lights that will save Kent about $230,000 a year in

electricity costs.

The City Council’s Operations Committee approved the ordinance for LEDs on April 7.

The full council is scheduled to consider the measure on Tuesday,

April 21.

Kelly Peterson, city special projects/transportation manager, said Kent had the opportunity to apply for an energy efficiency grant from the state Department

of Commerce and decided to seek it to help pay for LED street lights as well as a new heating, ventilating and air conditioning [ more LED page 4 ]

Kent schools prepare for new assessments

BY HEIDI SANDERS hsanders@kentreporter.com

As students throughout the state get ready to take their annual standardized exams, school districts are preparing to administer the new Smarter Balanced Assessment.

Kent School District officials said they hope implementation of the new exam will go smoothly, given that the district

participated in the pilot exam two years ago and the field test last year.

Razak Garoui, executive director of assessment, research and accountability for Kent schools, said the district has prepared as well as it can for the new assessments.

“It is like any other test,” Garoui said.

“There will be a few glitches here and there. [ more TEST page 10 ]

It appears Seattle developer Tarragon will get about a $25,000 property tax break each year for the next eight years from the city of Kent for building an 154-unit apartment complex at Kent Station.

The City Council’s Operations Committee approved the contract for the tax break at its April 7 meeting. The full council is scheduled to consider the exemption at its April 21 meeting.

“I get that we’ve got this ordinance on the books,” Council President Dana Ralph said. “I request that this be brought to the (council’s) Economic and Community Development Committee to look at it going forward. It’s here and exists so I won’t be voting against it but I would like to dive into it a little deeper.” [ more TAX page 8 ]

State funding boosts possible East Hill YMCA

LOCAL

KENT

April 17, 2015 [3]

FOR THE REPORTER

City leaders and community members all agree that the city of Kent would be well served by a new YMCA in the fast growing and diverse community of 124,000 people.

The possibility of a Kent YMCA is one step closer Tuesday as the state Senate approved its state capital budget proposal, which includes $500,000 to get the East Hill project underway.

“A YMCA in our Kent community would be an incredible asset to people of all ages and backgrounds. In addition to the many valuable classes,

camps and after-school programs found at the center, being able to provide a new aquatic center would provide great opportunities for local high school swimmers,” said Sen. Joe Fain, R-Auburn, who worked to secure funding for the project and is a former swim coach in the Renton and Highline school districts.

The YMCA of Greater Seattle, which operates 12 locations, and the city of Kent agree that a new facility would help meet the demand for additional indoor and outdoor recreation opportunities for families of all ages and economic means.

Proposed siting for the facility

would be in a community park, providing a variety of activities for all area residents.

“A YMCA would be a transformative project for Kent, which is home to residents with an incredibly diverse array of languages, cultures and religions, including many low- and lower-income families,” said Mayor Suzette Cooke.

“Given Kent has never had any type of YMCA, YWCA, or Boys & Girls Club, there is a clear need for additional indoor and outdoor recreation opportunities in the city, especially for disadvantaged youth. Partnering with the YMCA

to nurture the potential of Kent’s kids and their families is the most financially feasible way to meet this community need.”

The state’s capital budget pays for statewide infrastructure to maintain and construct public schools, higher education facilities, parks and other state and community assets.

A YMCA steering committee is looking to bring a facility to Kent and find a potential East Hill site.

The Senate and House of Representatives have passed capital budgets and will now work to approve one final plan before the legislative session ends April 26.

KENT MOBILE HOME FIRE DISPLACES SIX Six people were displaced after a fire started in their Kent mobile home at about 1:26 p.m. Tuesday in the 24400 block of 64th Avenue South.

One adult and several children were inside when smoke began to fill the double-wide mobile home, according to a Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority media release.

Everyone was able to get out safely, though the adult was treated by King County Medic One and transported by ambulance to a local hospital due to smoke inhalation.

A neighbor reported the fire.

When firefighters arrived, they found smoke and flames from the back side of the building.

It only took seven minutes to fully extinguish the fire.

Red Cross is assisting the family and the cause of the fire is under investigation.

Kent gets bond-rating boost

A Kent African hair braider asked a federal court judge last week to dismiss her lawsuit against the state Department of Licensing (DOL) after the agency agreed to exempt hair braiders from having a cosmetology license.

Salamata Sylla filed a lawsuit last June in U.S. District Court in Seattle that she should be allowed to operate her business without a cosmetology license. State inspectors had told Sylla in 2013 that she needed such a license to keep her Kent shop open although state officials later claimed it was all a miscommunication. The Kent Reporter published stories about the dispute last year.

Sylla agreed in November to put her case on hold to give the state a chance to clarify whether it would stand by a policy adopted in 2004 that said braiders did not need licenses.

If not for the exemption, braiders would have to spend 1,600 hours in cosmetology school even though hair braiding isn’t even taught.

On March 10, the DOL adopted a final administrative rule holding that braiders do not need licenses, according to a posting April 10 by the Virgina-based Institute for Justice on its website. The group represented Sylla. The new rule went into effect last Friday, 30 days after passage.

“I’m proud that my case convinced Washington state to fix its braiding policies once and for all,” said Sylla in a prepared statement.

“African hair braiding is a natural hair care technique. Braiders aren‘t cosmetologists and we don’t need expensive cosmetology training to keep the public safe.”

Sylla was blindsided when DOL inspectors said that she needed a cosmetology license.

Sylla was familiar with fellow braider Benta Diaw’s successful 2004 lawsuit that resulted in a non-binding policy statement.

[ PARK from page 1 ] down park facilities because of what city officials say is a lack of funds to do repairs or replacements.

So far, the biggest hits are at Lake Fenwick Park, 25828 Lake Fenwick Road S. The city closed the boardwalk at the park in January after shutting down a small fishing dock last year.

Park staff is expected to release a list of other potential closures at a Kent City Council Parks and Human Services Committee meeting on Thursday, April 23. Staff didn’t have a specific list yet of park facilities that might be closed.

“We’re monitoring (park features) that we are possibly looking to close/ remove this year – that’s being worked on in preparation for a discussion with the Parks Committee,” said Hope Gibson, city manager for park planning and development, in an email.

The city closed the Lake Fenwick

laying other park improvement projects identified in the capital improvement fund to pay for the new turf.

Parks Director Jeff Watling said at that time that, “the deterioration of our park facilities is happening at a faster rate than our current funds can address them.” He added the city would have to close some popular park features over the next year if the facilities get to the point where they are not safe for the public to use.

In previous reports to council by city staff, other facilities that need to be replaced include the Lake Meridian Park swim and fishing dock; Kent Memorial Park bleachers, restrooms and concession stand; and Van Doren Park restroom and playground.

Meanwhile, back at Lake Fenwick Park, city staff is considering whether to bring in more carp to help eradicate an invasive plant (the Brazilian elodea) from the lake. The city stocked the lake in 2009 with carp to eat the plants, but the fish are getting older and do not eat as much, Gibson said.

Matt Knox, city environmental ecologist, who oversaw the earlier stocking, is looking into to adding more carp to the lake to get rid of the invasive plants, Gibson said.

average and ballasts that must be replaced every eight to 10 years on average, Peterson said.

Crews are expected to start the replacement program this summer.

The city didn’t install the LED street lights as part of the Southeast 256th Street widening project, including new street lights, recently completed on the East Hill.

“The 256th Street project was designed and under construction prior to the LED street light project being identified,” Peterson said. “Moving forward, all new projects will include LED street lights.”

But the 23 street lights along the new section of Southeast 256th Street will be replaced as part of the LED project, Peterson said.

Renton, Olympia and Vancouver are cities that have recently replaced old street lights with LEDs. Peterson said Renton also used state grant money to help pay for its project and that the city is paying back its loan faster than projected because of the cost savings.

boardwalk in January that connects to the middle and south sections of the park as well as the fishing dock.

“They have both reached the end of their useful life and are no longer functional or reasonably repairable,” Gibson said about the boardwalk and dock that staff estimates would cost $960,000 to replace.

“There is no current schedule for replacing the boardwalk or the dock due to lack of capital funding,” Gibson said.

Voters in 2012 rejected a city property tax levy increase to raise about $29 million over six years, $18.3 million for parks and $10.7 million for streets.

Nearly 60 percent of voters were against the levy. If voters had approved the levy, about $3 million per year would have been spent on park repairs.

Kent last year spent nearly $1.8 million to replace the synthetic turf at Wilson Playfields. The council approved spending $500,000 from the general fund, $800,000 from the real estate excise tax and the remainder from de-

“There will be no service reductions or capital projects slowdown because of the financing,” BeMiller said.

Not all residents, however, will see the new street lights in their neighborhood.

“There are about 6,000 street lights on the city’s roadways,” Peterson said.

“We own nearly 2,600 of these lights and all of those will be replaced with LEDs. The other lights are owned

by Puget Sound Energy or other agencies and are not a part of this project.”

Crews will replace lights even before they burn out because of the energy savings and grant programs, Peterson said.

“LED lights use around one-third of the energy of the existing lights,” he said.

“LED lights also require almost no maintenance because they last for about 20 years. Swapping all the lights out now also reduces the costs of the LED fixtures as well.”

The current lights have lamps that must be replaced every four to five years on

Question of the week: “Will you vote for Hillary Clinton for president?”

Vote online: www.kentreporter.com Last week’s poll results:

There is a special election in King County on April 28 that will determine whether we are able to replace the dangerously outdated radio network that supports our firefighters locally.

As president of IAFF Local 1747, I represent 233 firefighters of the Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority. Every day, we have to work around this decades-old system to dispatch and respond to calls in and around Kent, Covington, SeaTac, and KCFD No. 37.

We respond to more than 22,000 calls for service annually. We need to coordinate with police agencies and Medic One to ensure emergency services are available to the 62,000 residential units and 3,300 businesses who require them.

Unfortunately, because of our aging radio network, our firefighters sometimes have to use separate radio channels from police and other emergency medical responders. This is absolutely unacceptable.

Coordinating response should be something that occurs without us having to second guess whether we’ll be able to reach the right resources through our radio network.

During fire or medical emergencies, seconds can make the difference in a lifethreatening situation.

“Weedians:” More City Of Boondoggle The proposal to excavate, irrigate and landscape the medians on Pacific Highway South is one of the most ludicrous and wasteful schemes to come out of City Hall in recent months.

That highway is a medium speed arterial through an industrial area meant for efficient movement of vehicles and cargo, not a grandiose entry to a wannabe classy city.

For example, the medians recently built in Shoreline and Renton are prime examples of why those medians should be paved over and not vegetated at all. Before the plantings have even established good roots, the weeds have taken hold, trash is caught in the shrubbery and they are in fact “weedians” by definition and about as attractive as a nose bugger.

Local voters could decide fate of pot industry There’s a good chance marijuana will be in front of voters again this fall.

This time, though, the decision will be whether to keep the industry out, not whether to let it in.

A bill passed by the state House on April 10 would erase bans on marijuana businesses that have been locally enacted

by elected officials in Kent, Pacific and 56 other cities, plus a handful of counties.

But the bill would allow voters a chance to impose a prohibition on marijuana growers, processors or retailers through passage of a local ballot measure – even in a city or county where the budding weed industry is blossoming.

In sum, they are an incredible waste of scarce funds that should be put to positive improvement of streets and infrastructure, not spent on a prettification project dreamed up by architects and others looking to suck up more of the public funds.

I’ve seen many attractive, low-cost and low-maintenance treatments of these median areas in travels around the country, but not a single one of them included miles of trashfilled weed beds created on the lame excuse of landscaping for beautification. Aesthetics matter but clean, neat, tidy and cost-effective trump malfeasance by design every time.

Health care act anything but affordable This is in response to the guest editorial printed on March 27 by a King County official about the Affordable Care Act. There are many half-truths related to this mandate that went in effect on Jan. 1, 2014. This continues to have a negative impact on citizens.

Unless people were government employees (federal, state, county, city), they didn’t have a choice about keeping their existing medical coverage, without significant premium increases. It was not true that everyone would be able to keep the same coverage or same medical providers.

Case in point: My husband has a

small business and had a part-time job while maintaining affordable medical care. Previously, he paid approximately $50/month for medical, dental and vision. That all changed when the mandate went in effect.

Currently, to maintain our medical coverage, my husband and I pay approximately $1,200 per month, with a thousand dollar deductible. There continues to be a high volume of people having to pay thousands of dollars out of pocket to maintain medical care for their families. Also, unless they pay their deductibles up front, they cannot receive their medical care.

This appears to be another example of the government continuing to squeeze the working class.

How can the government continue to tout this program as “affordable?� This isn’t about politics at

all. It’s about common sense. Call it anything but affordable. This forced mandate is unconstitutional. Citizens have lost the ability to choose about what’s right for themselves and their families.

Beware if you haven’t already signed up. You will be punished through fines and flagged by the IRS. Many of us have not and will not embrace this false mandate. It’s about time that someone speak up about the truth and how many citizens are falling through the cracks.

Citizens, it’s time for people to wake up and smell the coffee. – Julia Tines

Cartoon was inappropriate I understand that the Kent Reporter does not have the money to hire a good cartoonist and I under-

stand that Frank Shiers Jr.’s politics are different than my own. That being said, the (April 10) cartoon goes beyond the pale.

In the panel some kids are discussing the potential raising of the age at which one can legally buy cigarettes, from 18 to 21. The cartoon says, “No problem ‌ just munch on pot edibles.â€? Really? And what age does one have to be to buy pot edibles? Why that would be 21.

And in Kent, there are no pot shops anyway.

So I assume Shiers, Jr.’s point is to spread fear and misinformation. That being the case, then the profession for this person would be better served in politics or religion.

It has absolutely no place in anything attempting to provide facts and calling itself a newspaper.

...obituaries Augusta Belle Hackstock Born Augusta Belle Sussex in Edson, Kansas on February 3, 1923 to Fred and Nora Sussex, she passed away peacefully on Saturday, April 11, 2015.

Augusta married Charles Robert Hackstock on July 29, 1945 in Fort Morgan, Colorado and they were married for almost 60 years. She developed a number of interests during retirement one of which was painting.

Augusta is survived by their son Richard; daughters Sonja and Cathy; two grandsons; one granddaughter; four great grandchildren; sister Betty; and brother John.

May she rest in peace knowing that she was greatly loved, her warm smile, generous heart and loving praises will be missed by her family and all who knew her.

Augusta was laid to rest beside her husband on April 16, 2015, at Tahoma National Cemetery in Kent, WA. The family requests that all donations may be made to the Alzheimer and Dementia Association online at alz.org or by phone at 1-800272-3900 where a tribute account has been established in honor of Augusta B. Hackstock. Please sign her online guestbook at www.eycfc.com

ments next to the shopping center along Fourth Avenue North and across from the Maleng Regional Justice Center. Construction is expected to be finished in spring 2016.

The contract exempts Tarragon from paying property taxes on the apartment complex building for eight years. The company still must pay taxes on the land value.

The exemption will cost the city an estimated $25,000 per year in property tax revenue, said city principal planner Matt Gilbert at the committee meeting. He said it will save Tarragon an estimated $2 million over the eight years in building valuation as the exemption also saves the developer from paying taxes to schools, the Kent Regional Fire Authority and a couple of other taxing districts.

The state Legislature initially approved the property tax exemption program in the 1990s to help encourage development and increase density in urban areas.

Gilbert said the city adopted the tax break in 1998 to encourage development downtown but Tarragon is the first developer to use it.

Seattle-based Goodman Real Estate, which last year opened The Platform Apartments just down the street

Construction crews work on the Kent Station Apartments along Fourth Avenue North. Construction is expected to be finished in spring 2016. STEVE HUNTER, Kent Reporter from the Kent Station Apartments, didn’t apply to the city for the tax exemption. “It was just something they didn’t want to spend the time to apply for and engage in,� Gilbert said about Goodman. “They had other financial expectations and abilities versus a developer like Tarragon who decided it was worth their time.�

Tarragon first notified the city a year ago that it might seek the exemption with a letter city staff that supported to extend the exemption to developers of multifamily housing projects for an additional five years because of the costs to build a large

[ CORNFIELD from page 5 ] State lawmakers began the 2015 legislative session determined to address the rejection of marijuana businesses.

Many lawmakers did not support Initiative 502 but now want to ensure that those getting into the business are not prevented from doing so.

Plus, this is a potential money-maker for the state. Because of that, there’s general agreement in the House and Senate that the state should share a small piece of marijuana tax revenue with cities and counties – but only if they allow approved marijuana businesses in their jurisdictions.

They hope such a financial incentive will encourage communities to drop their bans. But House members didn’t feel that would be enough to change behavior, so in HB 2136 they wipe out the bans and moratoriums and offer two paths to re-impose them via the ballot.

Under one scenario, a voter can

submit a petition signed by at least 30 percent of the registered voters of a community to the elected leaders of that city or county. The other is for members of a city council, or county council, to put it on the ballot.

A simple majority is required to pass it. And a voter-approved ban cannot be altered or repealed for two years under the House bill.

These elements of preemption and voting face an uncertain future in the Senate. Senators left them out of a similar bill they considered earlier in the session.

Should they emerge, it could create some interesting ballot dynamics.

One might expect leaders of cities with bans to try to preserve them. That could force this year’s candidates for city and county offices, including county executive, to choose sides, knowing their decision could enrage enough voters to hurt them in an election.

On Monday, the Legislature added

one-bedroom and twobedroom units. The empty site had been used for overflow parking at the shopping center. Amenities at the new complex are expected to include a rooftop deck, two large outdoor courtyards, garden plots, a barbecue area, fire pits, a fitness center, community lounge, bike room, lobby and dog run.

The construction of 150 to 200 residential units was part of the planned unit development for Kent Station agreed upon between Tarragon and the city.

Tarragon finished the retail phases but had yet to build any residential housing at the shopping center.

another twist. A bill passed by the Senate and heading to the governor brings the medical marijuana industry under the regulatory structure of the recreational market.

Soon, hundreds of dispensaries will have to abide the rules of the province where they operate. If it’s a city whose leaders and voters want to impose a ban via the ballot, those dispensing marijuana might need to respond with a campaign or be prepared to relocate.

Then there are situations where residents frustrated by the presence of dispensaries in their neighborhood might try their hand at limiting or outlawing dispensaries via a ballot measure.

So there’s great potential for not just one big battle over marijuana in Washington this fall but many small ones in communities throughout the state.

Gilbert said. “The equity they would normally have to put into the project –their own funding – needed to be at a certain percentage and without this program they couldn’t get it to that. “They said it was around 30 percent they put in and they go get loans and other funding for the rest.

arts (ELA) assessment.

The majority of testing will be done the end of April through the beginning of May. Garoui said the ELA test was given earlier so that scores will be available before the end of the school year. If third-graders score below the basic level on the exam, parents will meet with the child’s teacher and principal to discuss ways to help the student improve in the subject.

One component of Smarter Balanced is that it uses computer testing.

Garoui said online testing is not new for the district.

For the past three years, the science portion of the Measurement of Student Progress (MSP) test has been online, he said.

“We are good in technol-

Garoui said students were surveyed after the field test last year. He said district officials were concerned that younger students might be uncomfortable with the computer testing, but he said most had no problems with the technology.

“Most of the comments were really positive,” he said.

The Ready Washington Coalition hosted a roundtable discussion on March 25 to discuss Smarter Balanced Assessments.

Hallie Mills, a fourthgrade teacher at Martin Sortun Elementary, was among the panelists at the roundtable. Her students participated in the Smarter Balanced field testing last year. She said her students

didn’t seem to mind the computer testing.

“They are taking it in stride and like using the technology,” Mills said. “From a student perspective, I don’t think they are worried about the technology.”

Robin Munson, assistant superintendent of student information and assessment for the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, said one part of the Smarter Balanced Assessments will utilize computer adaptive testing, which makes questions more or less difficult depending on how the student performs.

“It will tailor the assessments to the success of the students,” she said during the roundtable discussion.

The results are adjusted so that even though students did not necessarily answer the same questions, the data is comparable.

The second piece of the exam evaluates performance tasks, which measure a student’s ability to integrate knowledge and skills across multiple standards.

Students are given a score between Level 1 and 4 to assess their performance.

Level 1 means the student has a minimal understanding or ability to apply their skills; Level 2 shows partial understanding or ability; Level 3 denotes adequate understanding or ability; and Level 4 is a thorough understanding or ability.

High school students who score at Level 3 or 4 can forgo placement testing and remedial courses at two- and four-year state colleges in Washington.

Students who receive a Level 2 score can take a transition course in English or math during their senior year and then place in college-level courses at twoyear colleges.

Mills said that Common Core and the Smarter Balanced Assessment stress

Connie Mariano, the medical director of the National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists, nominated Herrero based on his academic achievement, leadership potential and determination to serve humanity in the field of medicine.

The academy offers free services and programs to students who want to be physicians or go into medical science. critical thinking skills, requiring students to explain not only what they think but why.

“Our slogan this year is show me the evidence, tell me how you know,” she said.

School district spokesman Chris Loftis said Smarter Balanced is a more lifelike assessment, placing an emphasis on writing skills. Instead of just choosing an answer, Loftis said, students are required to put their thoughts into words.

“It is a smarter system,” Loftis said. “We are moving away from a judgement system to an assessment. We are getting away from the one-size-fits-all approach.”

Loftis said parents should be aware that test scores might be lower than with previous assessments due to the rigor of the new exam.

“You can’t compare apples to oranges,” he said.

To account for the anticipated lower test scores, the State Board of Education plans in August to lower the score that high school students must achieve to meet exit exam and graduation requirements. The performance level for graduation will be equivalent to the high school minimum proficiency standard, said Ben Rarick, executive director of the State Board of Education during the roundtable discussion.

Under state law, parents have the right to refuse their child’s participation in the state-mandated exams, although students still have to meet requirements for graduation. Loftis said three families in the Kent School have refused to participate in the Smarter Balanced Assessments this year.

Mentoring program provides young men with tools to succeed

BY HEIDI SANDERS hsanders@kentreporter.com

After recognizing the need to provide mentors to young men in the Kent area, Kendrick Glover and Sylvester Craft started Glover Empower Mentoring, or G.E.M. for short.

Glover, a former KentMeridian High School counselor, and Craft met about seven years ago and mentored young men in the community informally, getting together on Sundays for a basketball game and a meal.

The two reconnected recently and decided to start mentoring again. The first mentoring session was on Nov. 4.

The group is open to any young men ages 13-21, although the target population is African-American and Hispanic males, who are often overlooked, Glover said.

“No one really showed an interest in them,” he said.

The group meets each Wednesday from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the Kent Parks Community Center, 11000 SE 264th St. Dinner is provided each week.

Glover said he is grateful to the city for providing G.E.M. a space to meet. He said the city, particularly Mayor Suzette Cooke, has

been supportive of G.E.M.’s mission. Glover said he and Craft saw Cooke at an event last summer and approached her about the mentoring program.

Cooke said the city was happy to support the program, and the community center was the perfect place for the mentoring program.

“It (the community center) is a place people choose to go to spend time, to build skills and social networking. It is a safe environment,” Cooke said.

“It (G.E.M.) fits very well into philosophy of our city’s recreation division.”

Cooke said she is glad to see a program like G.E.M. in the city.

“I am impressed by the team of leaders that work on how to reach some of our male youth,” she said.

“The leadership that came together in organizing the nonprofit is so attuned to the challenges that male teenagers face as they develop their character.”

Craft said the program is growing.

“We started out with two young men,” he said.

Glover said about 20 young men are signed up for the group, and an average of 12 to 15 attend each week.

There are six mentors volunteering for G.E.M.,

The free app – available in the iTunes App Store and Google Play – is designed to provide detailed nutrition information about the foods served in the school

including Glover and Craft.

One of the mentors, Mike Knoll of the Renton area, said he has done a lot of mentoring in the past, but never in a setting like G.E.M. “This one has a little more dynamic,” he said.

Knoll said a lot of mentoring programs focus on one-on-one relationships, and while G.E.M. does try to foster personal relationships, weekly roundtable discussions on a variety of topics, allow participants to learn from mentors as well as each other.

“We don’t talk at them,” Glover said. “We talk with them.”

‘Help them succeed’ Topics have included what students need to graduate from high school, love languages, Black History Month and using improvisation techniques to handle daily situations.

“We try to provide good support,” Knoll said. “We are out to help them succeed.”

Glover said the program emphasizes the importance of academics.

“One of the keys to rise above is academics,” Craft said. “If you don’t get an education you’re setting yourself back.”

The mentors try to set

an example for the young men, putting to practice what they preach. Craft and mentor Jimmy Brown recently completed bachelor’s degrees.

Craft said the goal of the program is to help the young men succeed.

“We don’t want to tell them where to go,” Craft said. “We want to know where they want to go and provide them the tools to get there.”

Mentor Al Green of Auburn said he has enjoyed getting to know the young men in the program.

“These guys are remarkable,” he said. “When you sit down and listen to them they open up. They just

needed someone to listen.”

The father of a 21-yearold son, Green has seen firsthand the importance of mentors and role models for young men.

“Sometimes they need another avenue other than their parents,” he said.

Da’sean Beckham, 12, a seventh-grader at Rainier Middle School in Auburn, said he asked his mother if he could attend the group after they found out about it at Halloween outreach.

“I just felt like I needed a father figure,” Beckham said. He said the mentors have been able to fill that role.

TreSean Ousley, 17, a junior at Kent-Meridian High

School, said he learned about the group while playing basketball. Craft challenged Ousley to a game.

“He said I had to come if I lost,” Ousley said. “I beat him but I came anyway.”

Ousley said he likes the way the group is structured.

“I am learning how to go through situations.” he said.

G.E.M. is looking for donors, mentors and volunteers. While only men can mentor, Craft said anyone can help in variety of roles, including tutoring, cooking, giving presentations to the group and fundraising.

Shea Theodore, a Western Hockey League All-Star and the Seattle Thunderbirds’ alltime leader in goals scored and points for a defenseman, is moving on in his young career.

Theodore has joined the American Hockey League’s Norfolk Admirals, the top minor league affiliate of the NHL’s Anaheim Ducks.

“Shea is moving on to pro hockey now and he is ready to contribute on a regular basis at that level,” said T-Birds general manager Russ Farwell. “He was the best player in our series with Portland and we wish him all the best as he moves on with his career.”

Theodore, a Western Conference nominee for the WHL Defenseman of the Year Award, was a first-team Western Conference All-Star this season.

Theodore had 13 goals and 35 assists in 43 games this season.

His 58 goals and 154 assists for 212 points in 257 career games is a franchise best for a defenseman.

Kent-Meridian’s Lacey Schomburg switched from shortstop to pitcher this season because the Royals had no players with pitching experience. HEIDI SANDERS, Kent Reporter burg was also inspired to take up the sport by her mom, who played for 29 years.

When the Kent-Meridian High fastpitch softball team started the season, it had no experienced pitchers.

In fact, said coach Tim Scott, there were very few girls who had played more than a couple of years, and only a handful of players returning from last season.

“We have a lot of kids who have never played before,” Scott said.

To fill the void on the mound, Scott asked if any players would step up as pitchers.

Sophomore Lacey Schomburg, a veteran shortstop with seven years experience, volunteered to give pitching a try.

“Why not try something new,” the 15-year-old said of her decision. “I’ve been pretty good at it.”

Scott said he is impressed with Schomburg’s willingness to learn a new position.

“She’s done an excellent job,” he said. “She throws a lot of strikes and keeps the game moving.”

The young pitcher enjoys playing in the middle of the action.

“I like being in the spotlight,” she said. “I like being able to touch the ball every play.”

Schomburg started playing softball in third grade when one of her best friends signed up. Schom-

her new position by watching YouTube videos, but primarily through practice.

“It has definitely taught me it is OK to make mistakes,” she said. “Because my team is so supportive of me, I feel comfortable doing it.”

Schomburg has a great attitude and has become a leader for the team, Scott said. She was voted captain by her teammates.

“She would have been one of my choices,” Scott said.

A lot the players turn to Schomburg for help on the field.

We look up to her,” freshman Lauryn Kesler said. “We noticed at tryouts that she’s one of the more experienced players.”

Kesler, who played second base in slowpitch softball, also volunteered to pitch for the team despite never playing the position.

“I noticed no one was really going over, so I thought I would give it a try,” she said.

Kesler and Schomburg have been getting to know the position together.

“It is just a learning experience for both of us,” she said. “She helps me out sometimes.”

Scott, who is in his first year coaching at Kent-Meridian, said the young team has improved immensely since the beginning of the

K-M’s Schomburg takes on pitching role

BY DENNIS BOX dbox@covingtonreporter.com

Saturday marks the 20th year of thoroughbred horse racing at Emerald Downs and another evolution for the sport in Washington that extends back to the opening day of Longacres Park in 1933.

The historical timeline of thoroughbred racing is a story of highs and lows with many wins and losses while the horses continued to travel around the 1-mile oval track.

The most recent turn came in November 2014 when the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe announced that an agreement was reached with Northwest Racing Associates to purchase the Emerald Downs racing facility.

For an outside observer

Ron Crockett led the effort to preserve horse racing in the state as president of Emerald Downs and Northwest Racing Associates.

the change of ownership appears to be little more than a series of LLC corporate names and titles.

Below those corporate names and titles are many people who worked, and at times fought very hard, to keep thoroughbred racing alive in this state.

Topping that list is Ron

“Whatever we ask them to do, they try it,” he said. “They are getting better all the time, and more confident, too.”

Although the Royals have yet to win a game this season, they celebrate the small accomplishments and encourage each

Crockett. He was the president of Northwest Racing Associates and since the opening day of Emerald Downs he has lead the dayto-day operations of the track and the industry in this state.

On Sept. 21, 1992, Longacres Park in Renton closed its gates for the last time, ending a 59-year run.

Longacres was sold to Boeing by the Alhadeff family, heirs of the track’s founder Joe Gottstein. According to the 1992 Longacres Park Commemorative Year Book, Boeing paid the Alhadeff family an estimated $90 million. The day it closed many thought the last thoroughbred had raced in Washington.

Crockett was not one of them.

“It is really fun to watch them grow,” Scott said. “We are trying to create a culture of fun.”

Schomburg enjoys the camaraderie among her teammates.

“Even though we don’t win all the time, we still really have fun,” she said. “We don’t have to win for it to be fun. … It is a game and that’s really all that matters.”

Downs opened – tells a complex story of many people working to keep racing alive, sometimes at cross-purposes.

The inside story of the last days of Longacres and the founding of Emerald Downs is far beyond the scope of this article.

The short version centers on Crockett – a 1957 Renton High graduate who in 1962 earned a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Washington.

His passion for the sport is evident from this anecdote. He started going to Longacres when one of his college friends got a job working for the track.

Crockett bought his first horse through a claiming race in 1974. The racing hook was set, but his first

theme or pocket gardens.

Placing pocket gardens in the landscape Just as a pocket is added to a small area on an item of clothing, pocket gardens are compact compositions of plants grouped in

areas such as near the front door (the welcome pocket garden) along a perimeter fence (the border pocket garden) or under the shade of a large tree (a pocket garden for woodland or shade loving plants).

You also can add a pocket of color to your landscape

by choosing a theme, such as an all-white garden in the shade, a garden of heritage vegetables in a sunny bed or a miniature fairy garden that fits in a small sliver of space – such as on top of a stump.

start your pocket planting ideas by picking one plant as the focal point and just keep adding to your collection by grouping more plants around the main specimen.

Fragrance pocket garden: A tall lilac can be the focal point plant and then add fragrant daphne, viburnums or sweet box as medium-sized shrubs and low growing but sweet smelling hyacinths, heliotrope, petunias and alyssum to fill in at ground level.

A fragrant pocket garden could also work in a large container by using only the smaller annual plants and omitting the shrubs.

Shade pocket garden: Use bold foliage plants with white or cream markings on the leaves to create a striking pocket garden in the shade. Hostas, ferns and astilbe are perennials for the shade and white blooming annual flowers such as begonias, lobelias and impatiens will add to a shaded pocket planting that will light up those dark areas of the landscape.

The evergreen foliage plant called Japanese Aralia or Fastia japonica has large, pointed, tropical-looking leaves. This Japanese shrub will survive even in dry, dark shade. Use the shiny green foliage as your backdrop to display colorful coleus in pots and add golden lamium as a groundcover plant.

Sedum pocket garden: Sedums and succulents are plants that store water in their plump leaves and they add texture and color to areas with good drainage and lots of sun. By grouping a collection of sedums in a dry area of the landscape you’ll have a pocket of happy plants without any drinking problems. Use a large boulder as a focal point for your sedum pocket garden and the smooth texture of the rock will help showcase the interesting shapes of the succulents.
