Green River still faces budget woes Two college programs cut in budget-deficit decision

BY HEIDI SANDERS hsanders@kentreporter.com

Two Green River College programs will be shut down in a cost-saving effort, and more cuts could follow as the col-

lege faces a $2.5 million to $3.5 million budget deficit.

College officials announced on July 15 the elimination of auto body technology and geographic information systems, while

carpentry, which had also been on the chopping block, will continue to operate.

As a result of the program cuts, two full-time instructors – one from auto body and one from geographic information systems – will lose their jobs. [ more COLLEGE page 4 ]

Council to seek voters’ opinions about potential fireworks ban

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

Kent voters will advise the City Council about whether they want personal fireworks use banned on the Fourth of July.

The council decided at a Tuesday workshop to put a referendum on the Nov. 3 general election ballot to get the opinion of voters about a fireworks ban.

Results of the vote will help the council decide whether to adopt a law to ban fireworks on July 4. Kent city code allows people to purchase and possess legal fireworks from June 28 to July 4 but fireworks can only be discharged from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. on July 4. Violators of the code must pay a $250 fine. [ more FIREWORKS page 4 ]

Drivers will see major changes in another decade or so traveling along South 228th Street between the Kent Valley and Seattle.

The $16.1 billion statewide transportation package passed this year by the Legislature includes $15 million for a railroad-vehicle grade separation along South 228th Street at the Union Pacific tracks as well as the funds to finally finish the extension of State Route 509 from SeaTac to Kent at Interstate 5.

“You won’t see the full potential of 228th until 509 is built,” said Tim LaPorte, city of Kent public works director. “When 509 is built, it’s going to be amazing. That will become the center spine (for Kent). That’s why it’s so attractive to the state grant. With 509

the question wasn’t if it would be built, but when it would be done. Veteran’s Drive (228th) will connect right into 509.

“You will be able to go from Central Avenue at (South 224th) and go all the way to Safeco Field without getting on I-5. You will be on the connector and then on the 509 freeway.”

The city already built a railroad-grade separation along South 228th at the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) tracks. Crews will start work next summer on the Union Pacific separation, with the same style as the BNSF separation of the road going over the tracks or what LaPorte says will be like a double-ski jump. Kent will use a $3 million federal grant and a $3 million state Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board grant along with the $15 million from the state transportation package to pay for the two-year project expected to be done by 2018.

Kent also built the Joe Jackson Bridge across the Green River and Veteran’s Drive up the West Hill to connect with the State Route 509 extension, a project that’s been on the planning stages for decades.

Chad Bieren, city engineer, said the state won’t complete the State Route 509 extension for about another decade because of the number of rightof-ways to purchase as well as permitting and then actual construction, which could take from three to five years.

The state will purchase Poulsbo RV, which sits right at the top of Veteran’s Drive (previously known as South 231st Way) along Military Road South, because that’s where the road will connect with the new State Route 509 connector lanes. City staff is working with the Poulsbo RV owners to find a new location in Kent, Bieren said.

Drivers will pay for the state’s transportation package with an 11.9-cent per gallon increase in the state gas tax, including a 7-cent jump on Aug. 1 and another 4.9-cent hike next July.

City Councilman Dennis Higgins sees the gas-tax increase as a good thing for Kent and the state.

“People will pay the extra gas tax and nobody will feel

The massive project, when completed, will finish the extension of State Route 509 from SeaTac to Kent at Interstate 5.

City officials had tried to find other ways to fund the South 228th railroad grade separation, including a proposal to form a local improvement district (LID) to pay for separations along South 212th Street as well.

But protests against a LID from business property owners last year caused the council to drop that plan.

Meanwhile, city officials, staff and its paid lobbyist Doug Levy worked with local state senators and representatives to help get the

Legislature to include Kent projects in the transportation package.

State leaders recognized a major corridor such as South 228th Street shouldn’t have any train tracks that interrupt the flow of traffic, LaPorte said.

“We are absolutely delighted,” LaPorte said. “It will be a major way into the heartland of Kent, the manufacturing center and take you all the way to the Central Avenue and 167 location.”

LaPorte said the extension of State Route 509 also will ease traffic on Highway 167 in Kent and I-5 as drivers will have an alternate route.

“It will relieve traffic on 167 when 509 is built because 509 is basically an unused freeway,” he said.

“Having that spine come into the middle of Kent is huge. We’ve only been working on it for decades, so we’re delighted.”

State PDC to fine Stober for council campaign violations in 2011, 2013

BY STEVE HUNTER

shunter@kentreporter.com

Kent City Council candidate Bailey Stober says he has agreed to pay a fine to resolve campaign violations found by state Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) investigators when he ran unsuccessfully for the council in 2011 and 2013.

Stober is on the Aug. 4 primary ballot in a race against Tina Budell

and Hira Singh Bhullar to replace Councilwoman Deborah Ranniger, who decided not to seek re-election. The two candidates with the most votes advance to the Nov. 3 general election.

Stober’s case appeared on the July 23 agenda of the PDC in Olympia for alleged violations of failing to timely and accurately file reports of contributions and expenditures during his 2011 and 2013 campaigns for the council and by failing to make his campaign books open for public inspection during the 2013 campaign. The commission’s decision about Stober’s possible fine were not yet announced by the Kent Reporter’s press deadline.

The PDC staff began an investigation in January 2014 after Kent resident Don Mason filed a complaint in November 2013.

“I accept full responsibility for the rule violations,” Stober said in an email on July 17 to the Kent Reporter. “I have accepted this responsibility publicly since Day 1 and have never denied it. But let me be clear – these are paperwork violations. These aren’t criminal allegations.”

Lori Anderson, PDC communications officer, confirmed Stober’s case would be heard next week but wouldn’t say whether an agreement had been reached between staff and Stober.

THREE VIE FOR HOSPITAL BOARD Dr. Terry Block, appointed in January to fill a vacancy on the Public Hospital District No. 1 Board of Commissioners, is facing two opponents in the Aug. 4 primary election to retain his seat.

The two challengers are Savannah Clifford-Visker of Renton, an early learning teacher in the Renton School District, and Lawton Montgomery of Kent, a captain with the Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority with 27 years of firefighting experience.

The top-two finishers will advance to the general election on Nov. 3 for the board’s at-large Position 4.

It’s the only hospital district commission race on the primary ballot. The board helps oversee operations at the Valley Medical Center in Renton.

Block of Bellevue was appointed to the board after Dr. Aaron Heide was removed from office because of unexcused absences.

“My coworkers don’t share those details with me … or anyone else,” Anderson said.

Anderson explained cases are often settled before a PDC hearing.

“Once these cases are scheduled, the staff tries to negotiate a stipulated settlement, which can include penalties,” she said. “If staff is able to negotiate a stipulation, it is presented to the commission instead of putting on the hearing.

The commission has the ability to accept or reject the stipulation.

“The commission can make revisions, but both the staff and the respondent have to agree with the [ more STOBER page 5 ]

revenues in Kent compared to other cities.

The task force must prepare a draft report by next May 1 for public review and comment, followed by a final report to the mayor and council by June 30, before it disbands. The group is anticipated to meet once a month with dates and times to be determined by the members.

The task force members are: • Lamont Williams: lives near Daniel Elementary on the East Hill and works as a pastor for Restoration Life Church. Williams will chair the task force.

• Tom Smith: works as a Renton Police officer.

• Ricki Robinson: employed by the King County Housing Authority.

• Andrew Hough: resides on East Hill and is an IT (information technology) professional at EMC. • April Santa Rosa: coowner of Valley Floor Co., in Kent.

City names new Financial Sustainability Task Force

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

A newly formed volunteer task force will help the city of Kent determine how to be financially sustainable.

The Kent City Council approved the 15-member Financial Sustainability Task Force on Tuesday night.

Mayor Suzette Cooke, with consultation from three council members, recommended the 15 members.

Thirty-four people applied to be on the committee.

The council in April approved the formation of the group to provide detailed recommendations to the mayor and council about the city’s needs and the community’s priorities as far as what services should be funded and how to pay for them. The task force will evaluate services and

[4] July 24, 2015 The program closures, along with other savings proposed by faculty – including not filling vacant or temporary positions and increasing math and English class sizes – will save about $300,000.

“In order to zero the budget balance, further programs and services on campus will be reduced,” said Allison Friedly, Green River’s executive director of college relations.

Decreased enrollment and changes in state allocations of higher education funding have led to the budget deficit.

The college is developing a new prioritization process to determine the viability of instructional services, student services and institutional support on campus, Friedly said.

“We are going to seek the assistance of the community to make that happen,” she said. “That was one of the primary complaints about this process, so we are planning to involve everyone in this decision.”

Faculty were notified in April of the potential cuts. The college cited low enrollment in the auto body and geographic information systems and high program costs for carpentry as reasons for the cuts.

Faculty members claimed the potential cuts targeted members of the Union Faculty and were an act of retaliation.

Parent-child education also was originally on the list of programs facing elimination but was spared after faculty came up with a solution to cut the program’s costs. Per union contract, faculty members had the opportunity to come up with suggestions to keep the programs.

Friedly said the carpentry program was spared through an agreement with Renton Technical College that will allow students to join an apprenticeship program through the carpentry union that is offered at Renton. Renton Technical College students can take some of their carpentry classes at Green River prior to entering the apprenticeship program.

“This will increase enrollment,” Friedly said. “We will have a whole new pool of students.”

Green River will help students enrolled in auto body technology and geographic information systems find ways to complete their programs, Friedly said.

The 34 geographic information systems students will go through a teach-out plan, which will allow them to finish their degree or certificate at Green River.

“Until all students who have

The 35 students in the auto

body program can meet with academic advisers to discuss completing the program at a nearby college. Renton Technical College, Pierce College and Bates Technical College in Tacoma offer auto body technology courses, Friedly said.

Mark Millbauer, auto body program head and union president, is concerned about his students’ futures.

“There were a lot of tears, mine included, when I had to tell them (the students that the program had been cut),” he said.

Transferring for trade program students is not as easy as for academic programs, Millbauer said.

“There are no standards between programs,” he said. “When students transfer to me, it is not a simple transfer. They don’t get credit for every class.”

Friedly said the Green River students who are close to completing their degrees would not be transferring to the other colleges but would instead be taking the needed classes to complete the degree, which would be conferred

by Green River.

“They won’t get their degree from a different college,” she said.

Millbauer said he is disappointed he and his students will not get to use the new trades building that is set to open in the

Dana Ralph said.

“This item will be placed as an advisory measure on the November ballot. It will be going out to voters to let the council know: are you in support Ralph of a (fireworks) ban or not in the city?

And that will guide this council’s further decisions and discussions regarding fireworks.”

The council will have a special meeting next week in order to meet the King County Elections deadline to get the referendum on the ballot. The costs for the city to the county to place the issue on the ballot will be close to zero dollars because the city already has five council races on the ballot, city Chief Administrative Officer Derek Matheson said. A special election for the advisory vote would run more than $100,000.

fall. Auto body technology was one of five programs slated for the new facility.

“That was going to be the most state-of-the-art auto body training facility in Washington,” he said.

Building to be occupied Friedly said the space in the new building left vacant by the program closure will be used by another program, possibly robotics welding, which the college recently received a grant to offer.

“It will still be a trades building,” she said. “We need to make sure we are putting in trades that students can be ensured they are getting jobs, that are profitable for the college and that the demand is there.”

Under faculty contract, faculty whose positions are eliminated by reduction in force have 10 days to request a hearing to have the decision reviewed. As of Wednesday, neither Millbauer nor Sabah Jabbouri, the geographic information systems instructor, had filed an appeal with the college.

Millbauer said he was exploring his options.

“I will avail myself of every opportunity to make this situation right,” he said.

“To me, it’s all about the will of the people, right?”

Councilman Bill Boyce said. “I will feel better if we let the people vote and I will go with the will of the people.

It’s their city and they should have a say about their city.”

Councilman Jim Berrios also wants to hear from the people through a vote.

“If we have an opportunity that would be my preference to allow the will of the people to make that decision,” Berrios said.

“I get it that it’s a recommendation they are coming back with, but I would be very comfortable with that and it would really help us understand the general feeling out there.”

If the council approves a ban before next July, the ban would not go into effect until 2017 because state law requires a one-year notice.

According to Kent Fire Department officials, fireworks vendors asked and received that one-year protection from the state because they must order fireworks from China far ahead of July 4 and if cities where they sold fireworks suddenly banned them, they would be left with a lot of extra inventory.

The council has no plans to ban the city’s Fourth of July Splash fireworks display at Lake Meridian.

Any ban would target the neighborhood gatherings where numerous legal and illegal fireworks are discharged.

City staff will seek people to write pro and con statements about a fireworks ban for the November voters’ pamphlet.

“Now that we know the cost is negligible, I’m very comfortable and very happy to see this going to the referendum of the people,” Councilman Dennis Higgins said.

The woman told police that she and her boyfriend of about one year had bought baby rabbits the previous day and went shopping to get food to feed the rabbits. When they returned home, the woman’s cat had killed the rabbits, which upset the boyfriend.

He got verbally abusive toward his girlfriend and locked her out of the house.

She said he had used meth and was high.

The boyfriend later let the woman back into the house, where she fell asleep.

But the woman said she woke up when her boyfriend pushed her head into a floor vent and began to hit her with his fists and a chair.

planned to shoot off on the Fourth of July.

An officer on patrol saw a group of people in the 21500 block of 121st Place Southeast discharging fireworks at about 9:14 p.m. on July 4, according to the police report.

When the officer got out of his vehicle, he talked to a man and saw firecrackers, which are illegal to possess under state law, sitting on top of a vehicle in the driveway. The man admitted the firecrackers were his. The officer asked him if he had any other fireworks, so the man showed him what he had in the garage.

The man had more firecrackers and had bottle rockets, which are also illegal to possess. Police seized the illegal fireworks for later destruction.

Man drives stolen car Police arrested a man for investigation of possession of a stolen vehicle after an officer pulled over a 2003 Chrysler Concorde at about 3:38 a.m. on July 4 near 120th Place Southeast and Southeast 208th Street.

About one-third of his reports were disclosed on paper rather than electronically. Staff also discovered that 100 percent of his campaign expenditures ($10,306) for 2013 were disclosed six months after the election, between 148 and 362 days late.

Also in 2013, Stober failed to make or honor campaign books inspection appointments, according to PDC staff investigators. Mason requested in phone calls and emails to inspect the campaign books. Stober agreed to show Mason but then said he couldn’t make an appointment they had set up at the Kent Library.

Meanwhile, last week, Stober said the fact the PDC finally set a hearing for his case didn’t warrant any media attention. “This isn’t news,� Stober said. “The Kent Reporter has mentioned this in at least half a dozen stories since the investigation was opened over a year and a half ago.

When police ran the plates of the car, it came back as stolen in Kent on July 3. When the officer started to approach the car, he saw the driver slam his hands against the steering wheel and begin to thrash around. The officer pulled out his gun and ordered the man to get out of the car and on the ground. The man complied.

The man told police a friend had left the car at his house. He said the friend told him he had taken it from a downtown Kent gas station when the owner went into the store but left his car running. The man said he planned to dump the car somewhere so it wouldn’t be sitting in front of his house.

No jail, please A man pulled over by police for driving with a cracked taillight told an officer he gave him a false name because he had a warrant and didn’t want to go to jail on the Fourth of July.

An officer spotted the vehicle at about 2:48 a.m. on July 4 near West Meeker Street and Russell Road, according to the police report.

The officer activated his overhead lights, but the driver went through several parking lots before he pulled over. He then gave police an incorrect first name.

Police arrested the man for investigation of obstructing an officer for lying about his name. The man later admitted to lying in an effort to avoid going to jail.

Police also cited the man for not having insurance and for expired vehicle tabs.

The man had a warrant for no valid operator’s license.

Brighter future for roadway Regarding: "Kent gets $717,255 grant to help with Green River flood protection, salmon habitat" (Kent Reporter, July 17): I was glad to read about the subject grant and see the plans for Downey Farmstead Restoration.

I retired at the end of April 2013, and since then I began to ride my bike more and along the Green River Trail almost every day. With the rerouting of Frager Road for the Downey Farmstead Restoration I look forward to a new section of roadway that will initially be free of litter. The litter along this section of road is particularly bad, especially before the grass gets tall.

Currently this section of Frager Road is supposedly under an “adopt-a-roadway” litter

EDITOR’S NOTE

“Do you support a railroad quiet zone in downtown?”

Mark Klaas

?

Question of the week:

Our streets, sidewalks and trails have turned violent, bloody, even deadly in recent days and months.

Just ask Pamela Andrews.

Her son was stabbed to death in Auburn on July 8. Now the grieving mother is determined to find answers to this despicable, inexplicable crime.

Michael Bippes. a second-generation ironworker and the divorced father of four sons, all of whom live in the Auburn area, was found dead of multiple stab wounds around 5 a.m.

Wednesday, July 8 on the Interurban Trail, south of West Main Street.

Auburn Police have determined that Bippes, three weeks shy of his 51st birthday, was attacked sometime after midnight.

As of this week, the official investigation has turned up neither suspects nor motives.

So Andrews, a retired U.S. Postal Service worker from Covington, and her friends have launched a campaign to turn up any bit of information, however small, that could lead to the capture and conviction of whoever is responsible. They began distributing fliers to the community, urging anyone with information about Bippes’ death to call Auburn Police (253-931-3080).

“I want justice,” said Andrews, 71, her voice resolute. “This has been such a shock, an absolute shock, a horrific shock. It’s awful.

I can only sleep so many hours at night. …

I’m trying not to focus on the horror of it to keep myself sane.

“But how can someone do something like this? I don’t know. … I just hope that person is found.”

The homicide is the latest in a rash of local murders in Auburn, Kent and Renton.

A man and a woman were gunned down at Les Gove Park three days before the stabbing.

reviews, wine expert and author Karen MacNeil told CBS news.

“I’ve been to every other wine region in the world, and I thought, ‘Wine near the Gobi Desert, impossible, right? Unthinkable.’ But, boy, wine near the Gobi Desert – it is a reality, and it’s a big reality. Our grandchildren will probably know this like they’ll know any other wine region in the world.”

I hope I am getting this straight. We need a petition filed, requiring 8,361 registered voter signatures to put Mayor Suzette Cooke's 35-percent raise on the ballot; and these are voters who pay taxes to fund that raise. But as it is now, five commission members – appointed/chosen by Mayor [ more LETTERS page 8 ]

The idea that a barren area of China might be the world’s next great wine region is mind boggling, but converting a vast desolate tract to fertile crop land is possible with water.

That’s just what happened in Washington starting with the completion of Grand Coulee Dam in 1942. The dam’s reservoir now supplies water to irrigate 671,000 acres of cropland, including wine grapes.

Today, irrigation water from a [ more BRUNELL page 7 ]

www.kentreporter.com Investigators say the two crimes are not connected.

An Auburn man was beaten to death just after attending a Kenny Chesney concert in Seattle on June 27.

Benito “Benny” Enriquez, a 31-year-old father of two young girls, and a public health nurse in Auburn, sustained fatal head injuries during a fight with another man. There have been no arrests.

In June, police found step siblings dead in a murdersuicide at an Auburn home.

In June, prosecutors charged an Auburn woman and her boyfriend with second-degree murder for the alleged fatal beating of the woman’s 3-year-old daughter.

Auburn is not alone.

Unsolved, killing sprees have also rocked the cities of Kent and Renton.

One incident was especially disturbing – a driveby shooting that killed a 1-year-old baby girl on April 16 in Kent. Somebody shot Malijah Grant in the head while she was riding

Similarly, the dry lands in Ningxia, about 500 miles west of Beijing, have had an infusion of fresh water from government-sponsored water projects. It is now home to more than 50 wineries.

There are about 80,000 acres of vineyards under cultivation in Ningxia, and they plan to expand to 160,000 acres by 2020. That will be more than three times the acreage in wine production in the entire state of Washington, our nation’s second leading wine producer.

China is the fifth largest producer and consumer of wine. As the country’s standard of living continues to increase and people have more disposable income, they are drinking more fine

Two men recently were involved in a shooting death on the West Hill.

A Kent man faces a charge of first-degree murder in an East Hill car theft death.

A 24-year-old Kent man faces charges of two counts of first-degree murder for the alleged shooting of his grandmother in Skyway and the shooting of a 21-year-old woman in Renton. Both killings were on July 7.

Next month, Aug. 20 to be precise, marks the one-year anniversary of two shooting deaths at a Shell service station in Kent. The alleged shooter remains in county jail, awaiting trial.

It just doesn’t seem to end.

On a national scale, deadly shootings and senseless murders have become all too commonplace. The first 10 minutes of your nightly TV newscast are predominately “death and

destruction.”

Several major American cities have seen a dramatic surge in homicides during the first half of this year.

And why? Weak gun laws? Tighter budgets for police and investigations?

Gang and transient problems?

Do we really know?

Where does it all end?

“I don’t know,” Andrews said. “It’s become crazy.

The violence. Too much violence, right here.”

Andrews is all too familiar with sorrow.

Her other, younger son died in a one-vehicle accident in 1988, leaving “a hole in (Michael’s) soul.”

And now the Auburn mother has been left to cope with the loss of two sons – buried side-by-side.

“I just saw him on Monday (before his death),” Andrews recalled. “We had a good visit, then he got up and said, ‘OK, see ya.” And that was it.

“All I want is justice,” Andrews continued. “I do not want my son to be forgotten.”

wine.

While the history of Chinese grape wine dates back more than 4,600 years, the renewed taste for wine has grown rapidly over the last decades with China’s economic boom. Because domestic production could not keep pace with demand, China has relied on imports – including wine from Washington State.

In 2014, China’s wine imports from Washington took a 25 percent nosedive.

China’s economy slowed down, and the Chinese government’s austerity programs left its citizens with less money to spend on wine.

However, the long-term outlook is brighter, even as China increases it acreage in grape wine production.

Ningxia vineyard owners are rapidly expanding. As MacNeil noted, it took the Napa Valley growers in California a century to build a market, something China’s Ningxia region has done in a decade.

The wildcards for Ningxia

growers are the frigid winters and harsh Gobi winds.

Vineyard owners must bury their vines after the fall harvest to protect them from the extreme cold. Then they carefully uncover them at the right time to encourage the grapes to grow again.

Washington wines can be competitive in China, but China’s growing presence in the wine business is something we should watch carefully as they start to compete for shelf space in the USA. With more than 200 million Chinese now in the middle class, the market for fine wines is growing. As the quality improves, as MacNeil pointed out, Washington winegrowers now need to pay attention to Chinese labels.

If Mr. Sobolik wants to come clean up my own neighborhood, I will give him the address. If he wants to volunteer to firefight my nearby emergencies, I’m fine with that, too. If he wants to come to my house to comfort my dog that I don’t want to be drugged to get through Mr. Sobolik’s holiday, I welcome it.

My vote goes to Stober As former legal counsel for a state agency I had the opportunity to work with Bailey Stober. I immediately was impressed by what I saw. He has a work ethic that never gets tired, a passion for helping people and is always looking forward to the next project. He helped lead several large statewide initiatives that have had lasting impacts.

When he announced he would be running for City Council this year I was excited. Politicians all seem to have the same talking points and are full of hot air, but I have seen Bailey actually put in the work. He is dedicated to the Kent community and in Olympia he made sure South King County remained on everyone’s radar.

He was vocal for his Kent community and worked hard for them and for all Washingtonians.

I am proud to see what amazing things he can do for the city of Kent. His experience, skills and determination are unparalleled by any of his opponents. He will be a great addition to the Kent City Council. I hope you consider him when you get your primary ballot.

Just what the logic is that Mr. Sobolik is invoking to justify the imposition on others is not quite clear. I learned better than that in grade school (your right to swing your fist ends where another’s chin begins).

Let’s ban this uneven “rights” allocation in the city of Kent just as other enlightened communities already have. Let the hoons find some place beyond settled areas to create their havoc. I doubt that many of them are really celebrating Independence Day anyway, they’re likely just celebrating the opportunity to somehow be heard, and maybe do some damage along the way.

Schlichte said Gately did a great job planning and executing the event.

“It is wonderful opportunity to find out what happens for real when you are planning an event this size this is a real life experience,” Schlichte said.

Receiving her Gold Award basically wraps up Gately’s Girl Scout career, but she said she might look into leading a troop after college.

Graduate makes difference on prison populations FOR THE REPORTER

Kent’s Brandon Hoggans is launching efforts to improve the prison system from a different perspective.

Hoggans, a psychology major who recently graduated from Marylhurst University, a private liberal arts university just south of Portland, is applying to graduate programs in social work and to a five-year doctoral programs in psychology.

His purpose, he says, is to expand on the philosophies and goals of the agency his father founded before he passed away: that is, to establish a foundation specializing in counseling, creating and implementing re-entry programs for the growing population of men and women exiting prison and attempting to become productive members of society.

Hoggans’ passion and purpose stem from his personal experience.

At 18, he was sentenced on a robbery charge, serving seven years in prison. He found that as a young man with a felony not only did he lack experience and skills to successfully turn his life around, society had several obstacles that made re-entry even more challenging.

It was then that he became determined to create some of the lacking services for this population. He knew the importance of higher education – so he completed his associate’s degree at Portland Community College, and now a bachelor of arts in psychology from Marylhurst.

“I wake up each day to obstacles I have to overcome because of decisions I’ve made in my past,” Hoggans said.

“If my story, my experience, my service and my education can help create productive members of society, then I have achieved my goal.”

EXCELLING ON SWIFT WATERS Kent teen eyes junior national crew team

BY HEIDI SANDERS hsanders@kentreporter.com

Just two years after taking up rowing, Grace Herbert has her eyes set on one day making the women’s junior national crew team.

The 16-year-old Kent girl, who will be a sophomore at Holy Names Academy in Seattle this fall, took a step toward achieving her goal by attending a three-week junior national team development camp earlier this summer in Connecticut.

Herbert was one of about 40 girls from throughout the country invited to attend the development camp after going to an identification camp in Seattle earlier this year.

Herbert joined the Holy Names rowing team her freshman year. “I needed a sport to do in the fall because I swim and swimming was in the winter ‌,â€? she said. “It (crew) is a no cut sport so anyone can try it.â€?

Herbert said she wasn’t very good at rowing when she first began but has improved a lot and now

DOZEN DRIVERS TO COMPETE FOR APBA GOLD CUP A field of 12 H1 unlimited hydroplane drivers will vie for the prestigious HAPO APBA Gold Cup at this weekend’s Tri-City Water Follies race on the Columbia River. Action begins Friday, with testing and qualifying. Racing is Saturday with the championship final on Sunday. It will be the first time the APBA Gold Cup has been raced outside of the City of Detroit since 1989. “The Gold Cup is the oldest active trophy in motorsports, and to have it in Tri-Cities on the 50th anniversary of its unlimited history is exciting for the fans and all of us in the sport,� said Steve David, H1 unlimited series chairman.

Covington’s Jimmy Shane is the defending APBA Gold Cup champion.

enjoys the sport. The development camp was beneficial, she said. “The problem with me isn’t really the raw power,� she said. “It is just technique and transferring it in the boat. I think it (the camp) helped me a lot with that. There were a lot of coaches and not that many athletes so they were really able to give you a lot of specific commentary.�

The training was intensive, Herbert said. “Basically we just got up in the morning, had breakfast, rowed, came back, had lunch, worked out again, had a snack, rowed, had dinner, went to bed,� she said. “It was more work than I thought. I didn’t think it was going to be as challenging in terms of how much rowing we were going to be doing. I had never done the system of more than one practice a day so that took a little getting used to.�

Herbert had the fastest erg score at her development camp. Erg is short for ergometer, which is an indoor rowing machine.

Erg scores are calculated based on the time it takes to complete 2,000 meters, which is the standard distance in rowing. [ more HERBERT page 13 ]

www.kentreporter.com [ HERBERT from page 12 ] Herbert hopes to be invited to the junior national team’s high performance camp next year and then to the selection camp the following year.

Members of the junior national team are chosen from the selection camp.

Herbert has two years of eligibility for the junior national team remaining.

Herbert plans to focus on crew this coming school year. In the past she has split her time between crew and swimming. “I am going to focus on crew because I see myself getting further in that than in swimming,� she said. “A ton of people swim. It is not hard to find fast swimmers in terms of colleges and national teams but it is a lot harder to find fast rowers just because not as many people are into the sport.�

She hopes to qualify for varsity this year.

Herbert enjoys the team aspect of crew. “It (training) is so hard but it makes you so much better. There are so many other people doing it with you because it just helps,� she said. “Some of the workouts we do are so hard.

If I wasn’t sitting on the erg next to my teammates, I would probably just get off and be like, ‘I am so done. I can’t move. I am over it.’ Just having everyone else doing it with you, you are like, ‘I can’t stop because they are sitting next to me and they are doing

Grace Herbert, back, who is relatively new to the sport of rowing, hopes to one day make the women’s junior national crew team. COURTESY PHOTO it so I have to do it.’�

Herbert usually rows on an eightor four-person sweep boat. Sweep is done with one oar while sculling is done with two. “I mostly sweep,� she said. “I have been learning how to scull. Sculling is easier generally for shorter people who have small arms just because it is harder to get both your arms in.�

At nearly 5-foot-10, some might consider Herbert to be on the tall side, but she said that is not the case in rowing. “I am kind of on the shorter end,� she said. “There are a lot of girls who are at least 6 feet tall and some that

were like 6-4 who were at selection camp.�

Herbert prefers racing in an eightperson boat. “A lot of people hate eights but I like eights because having more people in the boat makes is more set and sturdy,� she said. “I think it is more fun to have more people. Rowing is kind of the ultimate team sport because you literally have to do exactly the same thing as the person in front of you. I feel like it is more fun in eights because it is more satisfying when you all get going and you are going fast and you are going together because there are so many people.�

Communities In Schools of Kent hosts the third annual Fill The Bus school supply drive – now through Aug. 23.

The collection drive culminates in an event in partnership with Kent Station on Aug. 20 from 5 to 8 p.m., where supplies will be loaded on to a Kent School District bus in the parking lot.

Summer Green Kent interns keep restoration going FOR THE REPORTER

The majority of Green Kent Partnership restoration events take place in the spring and fall, but some volunteer stewards continue holding work parties throughout the summer season.

Still, summer can be a difficult time to schedule them in between vacations and other outdoor commitments.

To ensure that invasive species donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the upper hand, interns are providing additional staff support.

This is the third year that a portion of King Conservation District grant funds have supported hiring a Green Kent Partnership college intern whose major is related to natural resources management.

The first two interns were from Green River College.

This summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intern is a newly minted graduate of the environmental science AS degree program at Tacoma Community College. Andetrius Lee began July 1 and will be with the Parks department through October, giving him plenty of hands-on restoration practice and leadership experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Several members of my family are in the military, and I have had the opportunity to see and live in many different areas of the world. I decided to continue my education in the state of Washington primarily because of its beauty, and I am very happy to call this state home,â&#x20AC;? Lee said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, my continuing education has increased my awareness of the alarming rates that wildlife diversity is diminishing in urban natural areas. I believe that future

generations should be given the opportunity to fall in love with our areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s distinguished beauty just as I have.â&#x20AC;?

With funding from a State Farm Youth Advisory Board grant, Kent Parks was able to create a new summer internship opportunity this year for five local high school students. With oversight by park staff, the Green Kent college intern serves as their crew lead.

Selected from a strong candidate pool of local teens, the Youth Environmental Service (YES) Corps began its internships on July 13. They are working at six forested parks, spending a week at each one, learning teamwork, native plants at the sites, how to give a thorough safety briefing and record progress on work logs, and best manage-

WHAT?

YOU CAN SELL PETS AT SOUNDCLASSIFIEDS.COM?

Mid-summer mission: Roses, fuchsias need special treatment The fourth week of July is when your roses and fuchsias need some special attention to keep them blooming for the rest of the summer.

All roses appreciate more fertilize and extra water during the mid-summer cycle and if you deadhead or clip off the faded rose blooms, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be encouraging more roses to bloom through the fall season.

Fuchsias that dangle from hanging baskets or those with large blooms are the annual type of fuchsia, and these suffer in hot weather. To keep your fuchsia baskets in bloom, keep pinching off any seed pods or â&#x20AC;&#x153;fuchsia berriesâ&#x20AC;? that form at the end of the stems once the faded flowers fall.

On hot days set ice cubes on top of the soil to pamper your hanging fuchsias and spray the foliage lightly with water. Fuchsia baskets do best in full shade.

There are also hardy fuchsias that grow more like perennial shrubs with smaller blooms. The hardy fuchsias can handle more sun but add a layer of mulch on top of the roots to keep them cool and conserve moisture.

August is coming. Here are the top 10 tips for conserving water in your garden and landscape: 1. Water in the evening or morning so that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll lose less water to evaporation.

Avoid run off or letting water hit the sidewalk or driveway.

2. Right plant, right place.

Use sedums, succulents, plants with gray leaves or small leaves (think lavender, potentilla and lambâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ear) in the hot spots of

your landscape such as up against a west or south facing wall.

3. Mulch. You can use wood chips, compost, hay, leaves or even marbles and seashells for a decorative look on top of your potted plants. A mulch will shade the soil to keep it cooler and seal in moisture so you will need to water less often.

4. Let your lawn â&#x20AC;&#x153;go golden.â&#x20AC;?

This sounds more luxurious than saying you have allowed the lawn to go brown and dormant. Some gardeners even use a special lawn paint to dye the dormant golden lawn a shade of green. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry, once the rains return in the fall your lawn will green up again.

5. Recycle your kitchen water and use it to water your potted plants. This is the way most of Europe has watered their summer plants for centuries. Any rinse water or non-salted cooking water goes into a kitchen pitcher and at the end of the day instead of pouring your liquid assets down the drain use the recycled water on the patio plants. Bonus: some of the nutrients from cooking veggies will leach into the cooking water so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get some free fertilizer.

6. Use a rain barrel. Collecting all the water that runs off the roof into one container means you can dip a watering can into the barrel and hand water the potted or extra thirsty plants.

7. Install a drip irrigation system to water vegetables and even potted plants.

Sprinklers are not as efficient as drip lines. Bonus: When you target the water right at the root of a plant

Rainier Youth Choirs again hosts its popular Summer Choir Camp for singers entering grades three through eight with a Jungle Cruise this year.

As campers use their imagination to navigate jungle waters, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll explore music reading, rhythms, percussion, movement, drama and singing.

Camp runs daily 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Aug. 17-20 on Kentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s East Hill and culminates with a free concert by the participants for family, friends and community members Thursday at 7 p.m. Each camper

See Marianne Marianne Binetti hosts â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dig In Seattle,â&#x20AC;? a garden and cooking show that is back on the air.

You can watch the show via podcast at www.diginseattle. com or on Channel 22 KZJO TV at 12:30 p.m. Saturdays. The show focuses on local gardening tips and cooking demos from local chefs.

the rest of the soil will stay dry â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a lot less weeds.

8. Make compost â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or buy compost in bags and use this in planting holes, on top of new plants and as a topdressing for a thirsty lawn. Compost acts like a sponge to hold and store moisture.

9. Take a shower with some pots and pans. You will be surprised how much water you can collect before it runs down the drain. Use this sometimes soapy water (called â&#x20AC;&#x153;grayâ&#x20AC;? water) to wash insects from roses or to soak the roots of thirsty hydrangeas and heucheras.

10. Finally, my favorite tip for conserving water â&#x20AC;&#x201C; position a thirsty shrub or potted plant right under the drainage hole of a hanging basket or window box.

Now youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be recycling the drainage water from your hanging basket by letting it drip from one plant into the root zone of another.
