Kent City Council to consider fireworks ban on Tuesday

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

Fireworks could be banned year round in Kent starting in 2017 if the City Council next Tuesday

night approves a controversial new ordinance.

The council’s Public Safety Committee voted 2-1 this past Tuesday to recommend the full seven-member council approve

the ordinance to ban fireworks on the Fourth of July. Kent’s current 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.

Voters approved a ban in an advisory vote to the council on the Nov. 3 general election ballot.

A total of 10,017 (63.09 percent) favored a ban while 5,861 (36.91 percent) opposed it. The ban would prohibit the sale, [ more FIREWORKS page 4 ]

Guilty plea disappoints murder victim’s family

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

A victim’s relatives felt “very letdown” after a 42-yearold Burien man pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for the stabbing death of his former wife last year in Kent.

Telesforo Hernandez-Roa, also known as Juan Hernandez, pleaded guilty on Nov. 3 in King County Superior Court to killing Ruth CastilloYanez, 39, of Federal Way, on July 20, 2014. Kent Police found the woman dead in the backseat of her red Nissan Pathfinder in the Metro Park & Ride lot in the 23400 block Castillo-Yanez of Military Road South.

Prosecutors say HernandezRoa stabbed Castillo-Yanez at least 25 times.

“The family feels very letdown by all of this,” said Leonard Castillo, a cousin of the victim, in an email to

Jack “Zab” Zaborac, the longtime owner and operator of Kent Bowl and a racehorse owner at Emerald Downs, died on Saturday at the age of 90.

A memorial service to celebrate Zab’s life is set for 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. on Sunday at Kent Bowl, 1234 Central Ave. N. The family of Zab asks that in lieu of flowers and donations, people take their family out and bowl together. And in honor of his wish to see families play together, Kent Bowl will offer free bowling all day on Thanksgiving Day. Zab took over as manager at Kent Bowl in 1962, just four years after the business opened.

“I came here as a $600-amonth manager in 1962,” Zab said in an interview with the Kent Reporter in 2012. “I had a good job at Boeing, but they had transferred me into a job where

Jack ‘Zab’ Zaborac, left, with his son, Dennis Zaborac, at Kent Bowl in 2012. Zab died on Saturday at the age of 90, after 53 years as manager, owner and operator of Kent Bowl. MARK KLAAS, Kent Reporter I didn’t have much to do. I found plenty to do here.”

Zab stepped aside a bit a few years ago from the bowling center, turning the alley over to his son Dennis Zaborac. But he kept close contact with the business.

“But I don’t think I will ever retire unless the good Lord takes me first,” Zab said a few years ago about his plans.

Zab passed away peacefully, according to his obituary posted by EdlineYahn & Covington Funeral Chapel. He was preceded in death by his wife Vivian Zaborac, who died in 2000 from cancer, and his daughter Janice Tegtmeyer.

Survivors include his children Monica, Larry, Sharon, Dennis, Matthew and Shane; seven grand-

children and three greatgrandchildren.

He was born Sept. 14, 1925 in St. David, Ill. He dropped out of high school at age 17, lied about his age, and enlisted in the U.S. Navy. He served as a gunners mate on merchant and troop ships in the Pacific during World War II. He settled in Seattle after the war and sold vacuum cleaners, newspapers, Watkin’s products and worked at Bethlehem Steel before landing a job at Boeing. After 17 years at Boeing, Zab gave it all up and moved to Kent to take on the position of manager of Kent Bowl.

Bowling dominated his life for the next 53 years. He made Kent Bowl a family oriented landmark and turned down numerous offers to sell the place for other commercial ventures, according to his obituary.

Even at the time of his death, he was actively upgrading his establishment.

Zac told the Kent Reporter in 2012 that he knows his family business will continue for future generations to enjoy and that he planned to stick around for as long as he can.

“I’ve had a good life here,” he said.

The first round of test results did not find E. coli bacteria in food samples taken from several Chipotle Mexican Grill restaurants, according to officials at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and Chipotle planned to reopen outlets this week in Kent and the rest of the state.

Food safety and disease investigation staff from the state Department of Health are still working to investigate the cause of an outbreak of illnesses linked to 27 cases of E. coli illnesses in Washington, according to a state Department of Health media release. Oregon health officials have reported 15 cases connected with Chipotle.

The 27 Washington cases, connected in this outbreak include people from the counties of Clark (11), Cowlitz (2), Island (2), King (6), Skagit (5), and Whatcom (1). Ten of these people were hospitalized; no Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) complications or deaths have been reported. Most people who are ill report eating at Chipotle restaurants before getting sick, including the location at the Kent Station shopping center.

Chipotle announced on Tuesday in a media release that it would reopen all 43 restaurants in Washington and Oregon in the coming days with a fresh supply of all new ingredients. “Health officials have concluded that there is no ongoing risk from this incident. Chipotle has taken important steps to make certain that their food is as safe as it can be,� the release said.

No Chipotle employees are among the confirmed cases, the company said. “The safety of our customers and integrity of our food supply has always been our highest priority,� said Steve Ells, chairman and co-CEO of Chipotle.

“If there are any opportunities for us to do better in any facet of our sourcing or food handling – from the farms to our restaurants – we will find them. “We are sorry to those affected by this situation, and it is our greatest priority to ensure that we go above and beyond to make certain that we find any opportunity to do better in any area of food safety.�

In Washington, the most recent case reported eating at Chipotle on Oct. 24.

While health officials believe the risk for new exposures is very low, the number of cases in the outbreak may rise or fall as pending lab tests determine if more ill people have this specific strain of E. coli infection. In Washington, four tests are still in progress. Several food items were collected from Chipotle’s locations and sent for testing to the FDA lab.

Food outbreak investigations do not always identify a specific food source.

A common reason for this is that the contaminated food source was consumed before the food samples were collected.

Chipotle is carrying out a range of actions to prepare for reopening: • Every Chipotle in the state disposed of all food items, sanitized each facility, and will bring in all new foods before reopening • Selected high-risk food items will be pretested before heading to the restaurants • All fresh produce will be carefully rinsed, and sanitized • County public health food safety inspectors will visit each restaurant to verify these actions The type of E. coli in this outbreak is a strain of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli.

It can cause bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramps, fever, and vomiting, and sometimes result in severe, life-threatening illness which can, in some cases, be fatal.

A fire in the 24300 block of 129th Avenue Southeast in Kent has been ruled accidental after an extension cord overheated and ignited an SUV in the driveway of a two-story house.

The call was initially dispatched at about 9 p.m. on Nov. 5 as a vehicle fire, but was upgraded to a residential fire after multiple calls to 911 reported that the flames had spread to the attached garage and shake roof, according to a Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority media release.

Everyone in the home was able to escape safely and there were no reports of injuries.

Firefighters quickly extinguished the fire in the garage and vehicle, keeping it from spreading to the rest of the house.

Red Cross assisted the family with housing.

possession and discharge of consumer fireworks.

“We asked the community to come to us and tell us ‘what do you think,’ ” Councilman Jim Berrios said at the committee meeting before he voted for the ban. “At over 60 percent, it’s a resounding message. It’s the emotional

message that I have heard time after time over the last year and a half. We can’t ignore that. … The community has been very emotional about this issue, they’ve spoken to us and now it’s time for us to act.”

The council will consider the ordinance at 7 p.m.

Tuesday at City Hall under the “Other Business” section of the agenda.

Community members gathered at Tahoma National Cemetery on Wednesday for a Veterans Day ceremony. This year’s event commorated the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War and honored Vietnam veterans.

Right: Jim Martinson, a Vietnam veteran who lost both legs above the knee in Da Nang in 1968, speaks during the ceremony.

Numerous complaints from residents to the council over the last few years about fireworks going off in their neighborhoods before, during and after the Fourth of July caused the council to consider a ban and ask for the advisory vote.

With reservations, Councilman Bill Boyce voted in favor of the ban

at the committee meeting.

“I’ll vote for it to move it to the full council for discussion,” Boyce said.

“I want to do some more homework to help me get where I need to go and make my decision.”

Boyce asked fire officials if a neighborhood could put on its own fireworks display and basically found out the permitted shows that are allowed require a pyrotechnician licensed by the state as well as a fire marshal inspection. Any new ordinance passed by the council would not apply to the city’s Fourth of July Splash fireworks display at Lake Meridian or any other permitted display, including events at the ShoWare Center, where smokeless pyrotechnics

are sometimes used.

Councilman Les Thomas voted against the ban. He voiced numerous concerns, including the number of police officers it would take to enforce the ban as well as the one chance a year veterans can legally discharge fireworks to celebrate their fight for liberty and freedom.

He also questioned the need to adopt the ban now when according to state law, any ordinance adopted by a city that is more restrictive than the state shall have an effective date no sooner than one year after its adoption.

“This calls for a total ban and is happening very fast,” Thomas said. “This won’t take effect until July

4 of 2017. We’ve got eight months to process this, and I’m not sure why we are in such a hurry.”

Rich Brandau, of Kent, who served on the group that recommended voters approve a ban, told the Public Safety Committee on Tuesday what he thinks the council should do next.

“These are also the voters that vote you into office and I think it’s a slap in their face for you to say you asked us and we gave you our opinion and now you are saying you are going to do what you want to do,” Brandau said.

“You said let’s put in the hands of the voters. The results are in and I think you should follow through with that.”

I would like to congratulate Councilmember Fincher. During the campaign, Councilmember Fincher talked about all of the wonderful plans she has for the future of Kent, and I look forward to watching those plans unfold.”

The race stayed tight initially. Fincher had leads of 67, 49, 82 and 114 votes as counts were released each day since the first totals on election night before increasing her lead to 346 votes last Friday. The difference was less than .50 percent at one point.

Fincher said Crystal Fincher, her daughter and political consultant, accurately predicted the victory. “(She) has been running campaigns for years and is a huge data wonk, so she charted where we needed to be on election night to win and we were above that mark,” Fincher said. “She also charted what she expected the returns to be each day and she accurately projected the ballot trend we saw through Friday (Nov. 6). You never know what will happen for sure, so each ballot update was a nice validation that we were on track to win.”

The council appointed Fincher to her seat last year to replace Ken Sharp, who resigned after just two weeks in office. Two years remain on the term, starting in January.

Fincher, who works as a pastoral assistant for administration at Holy Spirit Parish in Kent, said she has several goals for the next two years on the council.

“Helping to create more jobs in Kent for residents of Kent, putting forward a plan to get the Parks Department on stable financial footing for the long term, making sure our police officers and firefighters have the tools and facilities they need to continue to serve us well and making city government more accessible and relevant to our residents,” she said.

[ PLEA from page 1 ] the Kent Reporter. “We don’t understand considering the facts of the case why the prosecutor did not pursue a first-degree murder charge and is settling for the path of least resistance and sticking with the second-degree murder charge.

“My poor cousin Ruth was butchered by this monster. She was stabbed over 24 times and left to die in her car,” Castillo said. “I would like to see justice in this case, and I am concerned for the safety of my family that of the public.”

Dan Donohoe, spokesman for the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, said prosecutors charged Hernandez-Roa with second-degree murder with a deadly weapon enhancement but decided against going for a first-degree murder charge, which requires premeditation.

“The case was reviewed thoroughly and there was insufficient evidence to establish it was premeditated beyond a reasonable doubt,” Donohoe said during a phone interview.

Burglars hit pet store Officers arrested two men for investigation of second-degree burglary after someone broke a window and removed a safe from Mud Bay, a pet supply store, at about 1:06 a.m. on Nov. 1 in the 10400 block of Southeast 240th Street.

Hernandez-Roa faces a sentence range of 12 years to 20 years. Prosecutors are recommending a sentence of 16 years, Donohoe said.

He is scheduled to be sentenced on Friday, Dec. 18 before Judge Laura Middaugh in Courtroom 3J of the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent.

“It’s still a substantial sentence he’s facing,” Donohoe said.

Castillo disagreed.

“I don’t feel that 16 years is a substantial sentence,” he said. “I know that there isn’t enough years that could make things right or bring Ruth back, but I feel that it is the prosecutor’s and the state’s responsibility to ensure that something so tragic like this never happens again.”

The defense attorney for the defendant approached the prosecutor with an offer to plead guilty to manslaughter, said Castillo, which prosecutors and the victim’s family declined.

Family and friends of Castillo-Yanez plan to write letters to the judge to ask for the maximum sentence,

A man called 911 to report two men pushing a safe while walking eastbound along Southeast 240th Street, according to the police report. Multiple units responded to the call.

Police stopped the two men, who each denied involvement.

One man said they had left the nearby Phoenix Court Apartments to walk to 7-Eleven to get snacks. Officers found a black file cabinet in bushes not far from the store with papers connecting the item to Mud Bay. Police also found a broken large glass window at the store and a large piece of curbing inside that apparently had been used to break the window to gain entry.

Officers turned the case over to King County prosecutors, who released one of the men because there was no witness or physical evidence to link the man with entering or leaving the store.

Officers could not find any video surveillance that showed the man

Castillo said. They also will get a chance to testify in court at the sentencing.

Castillo, who lives in Lake Forest, Calif., said Castillo-Yanez grew up in Lake Forest and most of her family lives there although she has two brothers who live in Kent. She also is survived by her mother and two daughters. CastilloYanez is buried at Fairhaven cemetery in Santa Ana, Calif.

According to charging papers, an autopsy showed that Castillo-Yanez had wounds on her left forearm and left and right fingers which were consistent with defensive injuries.

Seattle Police contacted Kent Police after Hernandez-Roa told Seattle Police officers that he had an altercation with his wife earlier in the day on July 20. He told police he had learned Castillo-Yanez was cheating on him and the man she was dating had recently sent naked photos of her to him.

Police took HernandezRoa into custody after finding the body. He refused

breaking into the store. No jail records could be found about the other arrested man.

Boyfriend grabs girlfriend Police arrested a man for investigation of fourth-degree assault after he allegedly aggressively grabbed his girlfriend during a dispute at about 5:06 p.m. on Nov. 1 in the Golden Steer restaurant parking lot in the 23800 block of 104th Avenue Southeast.

The restaurant owner saw the couple in a heated argument and saw the man aggressively grab the woman, according to the police report. The owner went outside, called 911 and the boyfriend fled.

The woman told officers she had been in a fight with her boyfriend, who was high on meth and hadn’t slept in five days. She said he accused her of trying to hire someone to kill him. Police later arrested the man at a bus stop

to answer any questions and asked for an attorney. Detectives searched Hernandez-Roa’s vehicle and found a dress shirt and white T-shirt with a significant amount of blood on them. Police also found a man’s wristwatch and wedding ring with blood on them. Hernandez-Roa had no visible injuries.

Hernandez-Roa and Castillo-Yanez reportedly were last seen heading out to dinner earlier that fatal night. They commonly met at the Kent/Des Moines Park & Ride lot.

Castillo-Yanez called her then-18-year-old daughter the evening of the murder, according to court documents. The daughter told detectives her mother’s voice sounded stressed and she was on the verge of crying. The daughter sensed something was wrong and that her mother might be with Hernandez-Roa. But her mother was evasive and wouldn’t say if she was with her ex-husband or where she was.

Castillo-Yanez was never heard from again.

near the restaurant.

Officers recognized the couple from many previous incidents.

The man and woman are transients who stay in the East Hill area.

Illegal campers at city park Officers cited three men for illegal camping after they were found sleeping at a stage inside Earthworks Park, 742 E. Titus St., at about 5:16 p.m. on Nov. 3.

Officers walked through the park to check the stage area, a known spot for homeless to gather and sleep, according to the police report.

The three men were laying under blankets or other warming material. All three men also were given notice that they are prohibited from entering any city park or property for 45 days. One man received a one-year ban because of previous infractions.

A LEAKING CONTAINER in a semitruck sent two people to local hospitals on Nov. 5 after they and three others were exposed to the fumes.

The Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority was dispatched at about 10:15 p.m. to a business in the 21800 block of 76th Avenue South after five workers entered the back of a semi-tuck where, unknown to them, a plastic tote with 119 gallons of liquid organic peroxide had begun leaking.

King County paramedics evaluated

all five people and transported two to hospitals, according to a Kent Fire Department media release. The other three recovered after returning to fresh air.

Hazardous materials teams from around South King County, including Kent, responded to the call.

Once the leaking material was identified and isolated, clean up was turned over to a private company specializing in dealing with hazardous material spills.

Letters policy

So 9,602 people have voted for or against fireworks in this city of 120,000-plus people.

Voting for the ban was 6,382 with, 3,220 votes against.

City Council President Dana Ralph was quoted in the Kent Reporter as saying, “… we were looking for what the voters wanted and it’s pretty clear what they want.”

Council, because you will be making your decision based on the vote of 6,382 people in Kent that do not want fireworks as it disturbs their lives for a few days a year, please listen to these people and ban all fireworks in the city of Kent, including the show at Lake Meridian.

Any support for this show would go against what is being asked for by the voters – a ban on fireworks in the city of Kent commercial or not. It’s pretty clear what the voters want.

The Kent Reporter welcomes letters to the editor on any subject. Letters must include a name, address and daytime phone number for verification purposes.

Letters may be edited for length. Letters should be no more than 250 words in length.

Submissions may be printed both in the paper and electronically.

Unfortunately, I know the answer is yes, as some of you have already made your thoughts public. Right or

MY TURN

Good health reminder: don’t put off cancer screenings It was the most gutwrenching email I have ever received.

My mom went in for her annual screening and the results were iffy. After another couple tests, we found out she had breast cancer.

The prognosis was good, though.

Which is more than most people can say. If there is ever an “earli-

est moment” cancer can be detected in a human being, this was it. For that, we are forever grateful.

I’ve always been a full supporter of women – and men – getting annual screenings for cancer. But now, more than ever, I know the importance.

Because of the early detection my mom received, she didn’t have

Question of the week:

At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, the guns finally fell silent across France. Peace broke out that day, and soon “Johnnie came marching home” back to the U.S. For many years, Nov. 11 was recognized as Armistice Day – the day we gave recognition and thanks to our World War I veterans.

A second World War, a U.N. “Police Action” in Korea, and 35 years later, the Nov. 11 observance was renamed Veterans Day. Since then, we as a grateful nation have given thanks and honor to every veteran who served at home or abroad – be it in France, the Pacific, the cold hills of Korea or a military base stateside.

On Nov. 11, we also gave thanks to the veterans who fought in the sands and deserts of Kuwait, Afghanistan and Iraq. On every other day, I hope we give thanks to the active uniformed servicemen and women who are serving in harm’s way.

No matter how complex the mission, how difficult the task or terrain, our uniformed service members and military families have continually answered our nation’s call.

But we as a nation have let a group of veterans down. From the early 1950s to the mid-1960s, we were fighting a very real Cold War. Back then, the domino theory was fact.

From the White House and Pentagon, down to our family dinner tables, it shaped our foreign policy and our national opinion.

All of America felt that we were the bulwark of freedom, and that the U.S. must take a stand against communism.

And in 1965 we did – in Vietnam. Fifty years after the beginning and 40 years after the ending of that war, many Americans fail to go beyond lingering disagreement of the policies that led to that war and the complex issues that escalated and ended it.

Back then, many of us never really

to go through chemotherapy. She did, however, opt to do several rounds of radiation. Coincidentally, she finished her last treatment last month, the month of awareness for the thing she just got irradiated from her body.

Even though she couldn’t bear to talk about it at first – hence the email – my mom now uses her early diagnosis to remind people to get regular screenings.

wrong of the tens of thousands of registered voters in this city that didn’t cast a ballot, but it would show the ineptness of the council should they support this measure based on the voices of the few.

I recognize that when this passes I will be in violation of, not a law, but an anti-American city code. Please know that when I am ticketed with my fireworks that I now have to buy from the Indian reservation I will have my $250 ready, a small price to pay to show my kids what it is to carry on an American tradition, and more importantly a small price not to bow down to a government that will be acting on behalf of a limited number of complainers.

Is trick-or-treating next to be ban as a kid knocking on a person’s door is also a disturbance? I ask you to put this to a vote.

It’s a slippery slope.

– J. Edward [ more LETTERS page 7 ]

“Do not put it off,” she said in one of her reminders. “I am a perfect example.”

However, “putting it off ” is the new recommendation by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.

The group – which is made up of 16 volunteer experts in prevention, evidence-based medicine and primary care – recently came out with a draft of its new screening guidelines, specific to breast cancer.

The task force recommends women wait until age 50 to start regular screening, instead of age 40. [ more GOURLEY page 7 ]

Too many campaign signs I do not think I am alone.

I voted against (Toni) Troutner for one simple reason. The Scenic Hill and East Hill areas are littered by bunches of campaign signs at intersections and right of ways.

If this person was so willing to mess up our neighborhoods as a candidate, why would we elect them?

I did not see a single sign posted in a yard for this person.

So simply, I voted no on SPAM. The other race had a candidate that also got my no vote for the same reason.

More laws won’t stop the guns The letter by Miss Safford in the Nov. 6 Kent Reporter (“Let’s do more on gun control”), expresses compassionate feelings but is totally impractical, and at odds with the evidence.

Passing more laws does not enforce any current law. Criminals violate the law; that is what they do.

Thus old or new laws have no effect on the criminal.

Enforcement of the law is necessary for a law to be effective.

She cites school shootings, including Sandy Hook Elementary School. Sandy Hook was a “gun free zone,” i.e., no guns allowed, yet it did not prevent the shooting. One armed guard at the door would have saved all of the students.

A study (www.beliefnet. com) was published in 2007, titled: “Would Banning Firearms Reduce Murder and Suicide?” The study came from the Harvard Journal of Law. The report “found some surprising things.” Essentially it found a near inverse relationship to gun ownership and gun crime. In the USA, cities with extremely high murder rates have the most restrictive gun control laws.

Aggressive action to stop a shooter is a far better solution than writing a law, which all criminals will ignore. Intervention and action to take out the shooter works.

Alek Skarlatos and his two friends saved many lives by taking out a terrorist killer on a French train.

Ironically, he went to the Oregon college Miss Stafford cites.

Bartell’s, Oberto team up, donate to Seattle Children’s FOR THE REPORTER

Bartell Drugs, a leading drugstore chain in Washington, and Kent-based Oberto Beef Jerky, a nation leader in natural jerky brand products, recently joined forces to raise money for Seattle Children’s hospital in support of its mission to prevent, treat and eliminate pediatric diseases.

Executives from Bartell Drugs and Oberto presented a $24,500 check to Seattle Children’s Foundation on Nov. 5 at the Bartell Drugs in University Village Shopping Vietnam.

they may very well be. But, anecdotally, I can’t imagine what would have happened to the cancer in her body had my mom waited another year to get a screening. I’m not a doctor, but I don’t think it would’ve been as early of a stage, one year down the road.

My advice – albeit it’s not evidencebased – is to listen to your body and get screenings as often and as early as you need to. Many insurance companies

[8] November 13, 2015 [ COLLEGE from page 1 ] justified. Deep concerns about whether or not the outcome from it will be reliable … and for that reason, the faculty have opted not to participate in this process.”

College officials announced earlier this year that Green River would implement the process to help improve programs and save money as it faces a potential $4 million to $5 million budget deficit.

Hoene said the union

www.kentreporter.com

presented the college with a demand to bargain concerning the process on Sept. 23.

“What they want to do is outside the contract,” she said of the process.

Hoene said the faculty contract includes two processes — program assessment and improvement, and program review — to be used to evaluate programs.

Hoene and Leslie Kessler, Instructional Council president, have suggested the college conduct program assessment and improve-

ment reviews, which haven’t been done for the past two years, even though the contract stipulates programs be reviewed on a five-year cycle.

“Program assessments should be ongoing,” Kessler said. “There are always things to do to be more efficient, ways to restructure.

We are always looking at ways to improve.”

Derek Brandes, Green River’s vice president of instruction, said the prioritization process will continue as planned even

without faculty involvement. Instructional deans representing the academic areas of the college will serve in place of faculty on the instructional pillar committee, which will evaluate programs on a rubric system.

“The challenge for faculty is really other people are going to choose what the elements are going to be rather then them having a voice,” Brandes said.

Kessler said faculty members are concerned the prioritization model

REAL VALUE LOOKS LIKE

pits programs against each other.

“Here at Green River programs have always worked together to support each other,” Kessler said.

Programs will be placed in one of five quintiles, with 20 percent of the programs falling into each quintile.

Quintile one will have the highest ranking programs and quintile five the lowest ranking.

Brandes said just because a program ends up in the bottom quintile does not mean it would be cut.

“To me this (process) gives us glasses to see what we need to look at in greater detail,” he said.

Faculty are also concerned the process is not transparent.

“What goes into that report is going to be limited,” Hoene said. “They are going into to tell us what questions to answer. I think it is actually anything but a transparent process. It looks very transparent.”

College administration and the Board of Trustees have stood behind the

process.

“I felt this was a much cleaner process and much fairer process than across the board cuts,” Green River President Eileen Ely said during the board meeting. “You want a fair way of identifying how programs are doing.”

Board president Pete Lewis said the board understands that jobs are on the line.

“It is a horrible process that we never want to see again,” Lewis said, noting that board members have been involved in budget cuts resulting in job loss in other industries. “So to have the idea that we don’t care is simply not the case.

We have been there and we do not like this. We are not excited about this, but we keep getting the message from the state, which we must all hear that we are going to see less and less revenue. That is a fact.”

The college hopes to have the process completed by June and has launched a website, grprioritization. org, to keep the campus and community updated.

The Metropolitan King County Council on Monday recognized Green River College as the school celebrates its 50th year of serving the communities in south King County.

“Our early founders, led

by Hayes Holman, envisioned a college that would support its surrounding communities,” said Green River College President Eileen Ely. “For the past fifty years, Green River College has focused on its mission, to ‘ensure student success through comprehensive educational programs and support services responsive to our diverse communities.’ From its beginning, the college has operated under the philosophy of ‘Think Student, Then Decide.’”

What began as adult night education courses held by the Auburn School District in 1945 became Green River College with the support of residents throughout the Green River Valley. The school received state approval in 1959 and received its charter from the state Board of Education in 1963.

Starting in a location near the Auburn Boeing plant, Green River Community College moved into its main

campus in Auburn’s Lea Hill neighborhood in 1965.

“For the past 50 years, Green River College has brought students throughout South King County and all over the world together to learn, grow and enrich their lives,” said Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer. “The board of trustees, faculty and staff continue to support students in programs vital to our local economy, including Aviation Technology and Information Technology. ” Along with its main campus, Green River now has campuses in downtown Auburn, Kent and Enumclaw serving more than 9,000 students.

“The faculty, staff and students at Green River College have made the college a real treasure in South King County for the last 50 years,” said Councilmember Dave Upthegrove. “In particular, the branch campus located in downtown Kent at Kent Station offers everything from small business counseling to college credit classes and is a wonderful asset to the community.”

The college offers college transfer, career and technical, college readiness and community education programs, as well as bachelor of science degrees.

The Tacoma Stars opened their first full season in the Major Arena Soccer League with a 5-1 victory over the Sacramento Surge in front of 3,710 fans last Friday night at the ShoWare Center in Kent.

The Stars were powered by forward Dan Antoniuk, who led the team with three goals – the club’s first hat trick of the season.

Striker Mark Lee contributed a pair of assists in the victory. Goalkeeper Danny Waltman notched 17 saves in his first career game with

the Stars.

Antoniuk scored the Stars first goal of the season just 45 seconds into the match when he capitalized on a ball that ricocheted off Surge goalkeeper Chris Welch.

Tacoma midfielder Jamar Beasley extended the Stars lead to 2-0 later in the quarter off an assist from Lee. The lone goal of the second quarter was netted by midfielder Joey Gjertsen, putting the Stars ahead 3-0 before halftime.

Early ‘90s K-M boys basketball teams reunite FOR THE REPORTER

Members of Kent-Meridian High School’s boys basketball teams from the early 1990s recently gathered for a reunion.

K.J. Roberts, a 1991 KentMeridian graduate who went on to play basketball at the University of California, Berkeley, said the reunion gave former players a chance to reconnect and recognize their former coach, Mike Albrecht, who is now the principal at Kentridge High School.

“Albrecht was a great role model and coach to his players,” Roberts said. “He showed us how to be a good students, athletes, husbands and fathers. (He is) a great mentor who has always seen the value in doing things the right way.”

Attendees also included assistant coach Dave Jamison, who is now the boys basketball coach at Kentridge; Billy Thomas and James Gayden, class of 1990; Phil Rodman, class of 1991; Daryl Lozan, Chris Schlecht, John Wales and Matt Eilers, class of 1992; and Peter Robinson, class of 1993.

Thomas said he enjoyed seeing his former teammates and coaches.

“I can’t believe it has been 25 years since I’ve seen most of you,” he said.

“It felt just like old times.

Such great memories we all share.”

Roberts said he hopes to make the reunion an annual event.

“Next year, we want to extend it to significant others, wives, all family members,” he said.

Single Persons Need Estate Planning

Block party Kentridge High’s Emily Gooding, left, and Aliana Rhee, right, attempt to block a spike, as Kent-Meridian’s Jayshil Oatley, far right, looks on during the West Central District III 4A volleyball tournament last Friday at Kentwood High School. Kent-Meridian beat Kentridge 3-1 in the teams’ opening game of the tournament. Kentridge was eliminated from the tournament after a 3-0 loss to Todd Beamer. After its victory over Kentridge, Kent-Meridian lost 3-1 to Bellarmine and 3-2 Olympia, eliminating the Royals from the tournament.

Kentwood lost its first game to Graham Kapowsin, 3-1, but came back to beat Mount Rainier, 3-0, before falling to Puyallup, 3-1.

Singles may feel little need for estate planning. The need may actually be greater.

A single person may be the sole support for minor children.

Assets should be left in trust for the children. A guardian can be designated to provide for physical care. Beneficiaries of I.R.A.s and 401k plans should be planned so funds can support the children.

Singles should designate an agent under a durable power of attorney to make decisions if the single person is disabled.

Protect your right to distribute your estate as you intend.

The second week of November is a good time to put the garden and your garden tools to bed.

If the weather provides a dry day, take advantage of this window to mow the lawn one last time before winter sets in. Try to use up all the gas in your

from your last cut, so you have green material to add on top of the compost pile.

If you want to enjoy a tidy look all winter, take the time to trim and edge your lawn as well. Keeping the leaves raked from the lawn will encourage a thicker turf that can crowd out weeds in the spring.

MG, Puyallup

A.. You can do fall garden clean up either way.

If you decide to “chop and drop” this leaves the cut remains of tomato plants, marigolds, daylilies and daisies lying on top of the soil to provide winter protection and to slowly decay and add organic matter. The slimy side of this method is that slugs and other thugs can more easily overwinter.

If you practice “cut and carry away,” your beds will be neat and clean but more exposed. The best way but the most work is to cut and carry (anything brown, cut it down) and place the debris into a pile with

a topping of green grass clippings. In the spring, add this composted material back onto your soil so it will hold more water and nutrients.

Q. Can I prune in November? Anon, Email A. Yes, you can remove anything dead, diseased or damaged any time of year and by mid-November your trees and shrubs will have slipped into winter dormancy so you can thin out any crossing or award branches. Shorten up tall rose plants if they are rocking about in the wind but don’t get snippy with tender plants such as hardy fuchsias, rose of Sharon hibiscus, jasmine or ceanothus.

Wait until early spring to prune forsythia and quince and when it comes to rhodies and azaleas remember pruning after blooming.

month to move or add new peonies to the garden. Just remember that most peonies fail to bloom because they are planted too deep so replant the thick and fleshy peony root so that the eye or growth bud is just below the surface of the soil. You can cut off the leafy green tops of your peony plants this month even if they don’t need a transplant.

Don’t cut back tree peonies.

Removing the foliage in the fall will help your peonies resist leaf blights on new growth in the spring.

By 1908 they were chartered with 28 members.

Incorporation came on April 14, 1915, and in June their first “bungalow church” was built at Second and Saar in downtown Kent. The building cost $1,250 with donated labor, and the land was purchased for $750.

First Christian Church of Kent celebrates its 100th anniversary Sunday with a single worship service at 10 a.m. and a celebration luncheon at 11:30 a.m. Longtime and former members will return for the festivities.

Fifteen years after the incorporation of the city of Kent, the Bradley family moved to Kent from St. Louis, Mo. Immediately they began a search to find other Christian church members living in Kent.

Two years later their first gathering was held in their

the congregation.

With the threat of a state freeway being built and their site being taken, they purchased a 12-acre farm on East Hill on 240th – which was a two-lane dirt road – east of 116th. Controversy over the freeway route, the Boeing layoff of 35,000 workers and the oil embargo delayed the highway project. Church relocation was stalled for 10 years.

The first unit on East Hill was dedicated June 7, 1981, and the mortgage satisfied eight years later. When the sanctuary addition was constructed in 1992 the membership was 478. A commercial kitchen was

constructed in 2001.

In addition to serving its members, First Christian has partnered with other Kent congregations to serve the community. The Kent Food Bank was created in 1970 before the massive Boeing layoff. They helped organize and provide volunteers for the Monday Night Community Supper, a 30-year tradition.

Laypersons were part of the creation of HOME, the single men’s overnight shelter and the church hosts those guests two months each year. The annual community CROP Walk is well supported by walkers and

Rosemary Ellen Lovell Kaufman April 8, 1925 to November 4, 2015

If you learned cake decorating at the Auburn or Kent Parks Departments or Highline Community College in the 60s, 70s or 80s, you likely were taught by Rosemary. If you were a member of the Kent Valley Artists or attended area art shows, you may have painted with her or admired her oil paintings.

Born in Hastings, Nebraska to John and Lucy Lovell, Rosemary grew up with six brothers and sisters. After WWII was declared, the family moved to Tacoma where she graduated from Lincoln High School.

While in school, she met her love, Frank (Bud) Kaufman and they married after the war (December 29, 1945).

After a short residence in Colville (where Bud grew up) they returned to the coast where Bud worked for Boeing and they raised their family, first in Renton and then for 20+ years on a small farm on the west hill of the Kent/ Auburn Valley. Rosemary loved being a wife and mom, was active in her kid’s schools and fit in making wedding cakes for 100s of newlyweds including for her own family; taught and enjoyed all kinds of crafts and showed and sold her oil paintings.

In retirement, she and Bud returned to Bud’s family homestead on Lake Thomas above Colville, WA where they built their dream home, spent most of each year at “The Lakes” and winters in Yuma, AZ. Rosemary continued to go to their Lake home for more than a decade after Bud’s death (1995), enjoying fishing, wild life and family visits.Wintering in Arizona, she joined the Desert Lily Quilters in 1999 and took on quilting with a passion, winning awards and gifting beautiful work to family. She was never without a project or a big smile.

Jack (Zab) Zaborac

Zab passed away peacefully in Kent at the age of 90 on November 7, 2015. He was preceded in death by his wife Vivian Zaborac, and his daughter Janice Tegtmeyer. He is survived by his children Monica, Larry, Sharon, Dennis, Matthew, Shane; seven grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren.

Zab was born on September 14, 1925, in St. David, Illinois. At the age of 17 he dropped out of high school, lied about his age, and enlisted in the US Navy. He was assigned to the U.S. Naval Armed Guard and served as a Gunners Mate on merchant and troop ships in the Pacific during World War II. He spent 36 of 39 months overseas. During the war he met a US Navy Wave who became his first wife. After the war, they settled down in Seattle and Zab took several jobs. He sold vacuum cleaners, newspapers, Watkin’s products and worked at Bethlehem Steel before landing a job at Boeing. After 17 years at Boeing, Zab gave it all up and moved to Kent in 1962 to take on the position of manager of Kent Bowl.

For the next 53 years, Kent Bowl and Zab’s love for bowling would dominate his life. As a member of Seattle’s Bowling Hall of Fame he made Kent Bowl a family oriented landmark. He turned down numerous offers to sell the place for other commercial ventures. Even at the time of his passing he was actively upgrading his establishment. It was his dream that Kent should always have a bowling center; a safe and fun place where families could play together.

Zab was a generous man who gave to many charities, local and national. He had a particular soft spot in his heart for the Special Olympics, children with disabilities, seniors and veterans.

He started special programs to ensure that those groups of people could also participate in and enjoy bowling.

While bowling was Zab’s love, his hobby was owning racehorses.Through the decades, he has stood in the winner’s circle countless time. He was a well-respected owner and his presence will be truly missed at Emerald Downs.

A memorial service celebrating Zab’s life will be held at Kent Bowl from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM on Sunday, November 15th. In lieu of flowers and donations, take your family out and play together.

In honor of Zab’s wish to see families play together; on Thanksgiving Day all bowling will be free at Kent Bowl.

First Christian Church was built in 1915 at Second and Saar in downtown Kent. The first ‘bungalow church’ building cost $1,250 with donated labor, and the land was purchased for $750. COURTESY PHOTO contributions. In partnership with others a strong outreach was created with a youth community soccer league. “First Friends” is a weekly outreach to Karin (Myanmar) youth living in the Kent community.

The church’s celebration last Sunday included greetings from the six persons

who have been ordained to the Christian ministry from the congregation in its 100-year history. The theme for the three Sunday 100th anniversary observance is: “Glorify, Give, Grow!”

Marvin Eckfeldt served as minister of First Christian Church of Kent from 1967 until retiring in 2000.
