Kent Police believe a 24-year-old Seattle-area gang member shot and killed a 1-year-old girl during an April drive-by shooting in a retaliatory attack aimed at the baby’s father.

King County prosecutors filed a second-degree murder charge against Demartrae (Marty) L. Kime for the death of Malijah Grant. The girl was shot once in the head while

Mill Creek Middle School seventh-grader Stacie Van was surprised and overjoyed to receive a large, stuffed teddy bear during her first-period physical education class last Friday.

Van was one of about 400 Mill Creek students whose “winter wishes” were granted thanks to generous staff and community members.

In November, students were asked to submit a wish request along with the reason for making the wish.

Van was overcome with emotion when a fellow Mill Creek student delivered the big, brown bear to her.

“I wanted it since I was really little and finally got one,” Van said.

“A lot my relatives had them.”

Van wasn’t alone in requesting a teddy bear. Nearly 30 students wished for a cuddly companion.

“Most of them said ‘because I remember when I was little and it made me feel safe and happy,’ ” Mill Creek assistant principal Judy Beliveau said of the wish for the bears. [ more WISHES page 2 ]

It should be safer for pedestrians to cross KentKangley Road next year under improvements planned by the city and state.

Kent received a $416,000 grant from the state Department of Transportation (DOT) to help fund an esti-

Rya Aluvale Aretone receives her wish of an electric guitar following a winter music assembly at Mill Creek Middle School last Friday. HEIDI SANDERS, Kent Reporter food to sporting equipment to an encyclopedia to a skateboard.

But even if their wish couldn’t be fulfilled, every student who made a wish received a gift. “Even though we couldn’t given them a million dollars, they still got something to acknowledge that they took the time to make a wish,� Solar said.

Solar said she tried to get creative with some larger wishes that couldn’t be fulfilled. The student who requested a trip around the world got postcards from various locales from across the globe, and a girl who requested a trip to Hawaii with her grandparents can play Hawaii Monopoly with them.

Solar started making wishes come true last year

with help from her mother and students in her leadership class.

The idea originated from a leadership conference where students from another school talked about a similar project they did. “We decided that it needed to be tradition and we were going to what we needed to do to make it happen,� Solar said.

This year, additional school staff helped buy and wrap gifts. Mill Creek deemed November and December the months of caring and taught lessons about caring to students.

Beliveau said faculty put the lessons into practice with the winter wishes project. “The staff feels very strongly about actions speaking louder than

words,� Beliveau said.

Solar, who has taught at Mill Creek for 10 years, appreciated the staff ’s involvement. “It was really cool to see the spirit of giving flourish among the staff,â€? she said. “We give our all ‌ for our kids during the day.

This was just another way to make them feel special and important in a time they don’t always get to feel necessary or important.�

Solar hopes to see the project grow. “I would love more kids to make wishes then, of course, to have more staff and community and just be able to do something for all of them,� she said. “I would love to raise more money and make it more of a community event rather than just the school.�

helped organize the winter wish project, under direction of their Associated Student Body adviser Kacie Solar, and delivered the gifts.

Haven Phommanvongxay, an eighth-grade leadership student, enjoyed handing out the gifts to his classmates. “It felt really good,� he said. “Now I know the feeling of giving instead of taking.�

Phommanvongxay didn’t leave school empty handed.

He received his wish of Skittles candy.

Three big-ticket items were presented at the school’s winter music assembly.

Melissa Cervantes got a Steven Hauschka jersey and Rya Aluvale Aretone unwrapped a large package to unveil her new electric guitar. “I’m shocked,� Aluvale Aretone told the school after opening her gift. “I always wanted an electric guitar.�

She comes from a musical family and her relatives play a variety of instruments.

About 60 students who requested video gaming systems or video games were entered into a drawing for a $100 Game Stop gift card. Jahmere Rowe was the lucky winner.

Beliveau said many of the wishes were touching.

She recalled one student who said she is the only member of her family who is Jewish and wanted something to celebrate Hanukkah, so a teacher bought her a mix to make a special Hanukkah dessert.

Another student said his dogs have never had a checkup at the veterinarian, so Beliveau contacted McMonigle Veterinary Hospital to arrange checkups for the boy’s pets. “It is always a little more meaningful and a little more fulfilling to grant those who are wishing for books in this digital age and wishing for things that would truly make their year better,� Solar said.

Of the 400 wishes, about 250 were able to be fulfilled as requested with gifts ranging from a favorite snack

Flashing yellow turn signals come to downtown

BY STEVE HUNTER

shunter@kentreporter.com

Flashing yellow turn signals will come to nine Kent intersections over the next month as part of an upgrade to the city’s traffic signal system.

National studies show flashing yellow arrow signals improve intersection efficiency, increase safety and are more effective at getting drivers to yield to oncoming traffic, according to a city of Kent media

release on Dec. 17.

When there is a flashing yellow arrow, drivers can turn left after yielding to traffic and pedestrians in the crosswalk. Oncoming traffic has a green light, so those who wish to turn must wait for a gap.

“We are pleased about the increased safety and additional flexibility these signals will provide in the downtown core,” said Chad Bieren, city engineer. “It just makes sense to not have people sitting at

turn signals when there’s no car coming. We’re also working on needed communication improvements so we can upgrade additional intersections in the future.”

The city applied for and received a $400,000 federal grant which covers the cost of the upgraded turn signals.

Underway now, with completion by the end of January, flashing yellow arrows are being installed at the following intersections:

KING COUNTY TO EXPAND NUMBER OF BALLOT DROPOFF LOCATIONS The Metropolitan King County Council and King County Elections are working to expand next year the number of ballot dropoff locations in King County.

The council unanimously adopted a motion requesting the development of a plan that will expand access while ensuring geographic equity and convenience for voters.

Julie Wise, director-elect of King County Elections, is making increasing voter participation and access a priority for the department.

Following King County’s transition to an all-mail ballot system, in 2008, the council approved a plan for regional voting centers as well as ballot drop boxes, to ensure there were alternatives to placing the ballot in the mail.

The proposal for expansion should seek to ensure geographic equity and convenience for voters, including by analyzing potential use of all public library locations in King County. The plan is to be sent

by April 30 to the council.

The case of a Kent man allegedly caught trying to record with his cellphone a woman using a bathroom stall at Green River College on Oct. 1 continues to wind its way through the legal system.

According to a spokesperson for the King County Prosecutor, 37-year-old Anthony Lee Smith’s had a court appearance Tuesday in Seattle, after the Kent Reporter’s press deadline.

Here is what happened, according to court papers.

At about noon on Oct. 1, a woman called 911 to report that five minutes earlier a male had been in the bathroom taking pictures. Soon after that report, a school security officer notified 911 that he was detaining a man for taking pictures in a women’s restroom, but that the man was not cooperating.

Auburn Police responded to the school and arrested the man.

According to the police report, Smith told detectives he’d entered the bathroom and sat in a stall for about two minutes before taking out his cellphone and reaching under the stall divider – however, he said, he had never hit the record button.

According to the police report, the woman told police she’d seen the screen of the cellphone and noticed its recording function was on. The woman screamed and confronted Smith.

Court records say Smith was on probation at the time for violation of a protection order and had been arrested for other probation violations and for gang tagging.

In joyous appreciation of your support throughout the year, we wish you all the best for the holidays.

Students tackle tough issues at Game of Life Conference

proposal to the City Council’s Public Works Committee on Dec. 7. “There are

several multifamily units and people rely on public transportation. This is a high pedestrian use area with a higher than average

number of accidents.”

Public Works staff recommended using about $440,000 from city business and occupation (B&O)

taxes to fund the remainder of the project. Committee members quickly shot down that idea but promised to find another way to pay for the work.

“I am uncomfortable with using B&O funds,” Council President Dana Ralph said.

“It’s an important project or we would not have received a grant of this size if there were not value to improving the safety up there. I struggle that it fits the definition of what we put the B&O funds in place for. I am hopeful to have additional conversation figuring out where to fill that gap.”

The council has continued to clash with the Kent Chamber of Commerce about how B&O funds are used. Chamber members say they signed off on the council adopting the tax in 2012 with the plan that all funds would go to arterial street repairs, such as repaving roads and not for pedestrian projects.

analogy of us being cars and that you only get one car and how would you take care of that car to further your life or further the car’s life,” she said.

The lectures made Stewart more aware of making healthy choices, she said.

“I am going to think about instead of ordering a cheeseburger maybe a salad because of the lifespan, how many years it takes off you,” she said.

“Just those small choices can affect you so much in the long term.”

Stewart said she looks forward to sharing what she learned at the conference with her classmates.

“I talk to a lot of people,” she said. “That is why I was one of the chosen ones (to attend the conference). Now that I have the knowledge I have the ability to share it so without this I would have had this knowledge.”

Torres said he hopes to impart the importance of being healthier on other students at Kentridge.

“The workshop we had about healthy eating and taking care of yourself, he (the speaker) said, ’It is really simple. All you need to do is exercise, don’t eat sugar and don’t eat a lot of fat and just do those three little simple things,’ ” Torres said.

“I will work with you to come up with a way to fund the project,” Councilman Dennis Higgins said to Public Works Director Tim LaPorte. “I disagree with the staff recommendation to use B&O funds. I am confident we can find another way to do it.”

The committee expects to have a new funding option when it votes on the project at its Jan. 4 meeting. If approved, the project will go to the full council for a vote on Jan. 5. Work on the pedestrian improvements are expected to start in the spring.

“I think this is a very important project and I don’t like the idea of not proceeding with it,” Higgins said. “I am going to work very hard to find a way to make it happen. There is a problem we have along that road. There is a community of people that deserve to be safe along that road.”

A new crosswalk would be installed at about 106th

Avenue Southeast. The crossing will include median refuge islands and flashing beacons. Many people illegally cross the road daily in that area, Casteel said.

Changes to existing crosswalks at five intersections will include restriping, upgrades to curb ramps to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, countdown displays and new push buttons that meet ADA standards.

The grant also includes funds for education and enforcement about vehicle and pedestrian laws.

Councilwoman Brenda Fincher supports the improvements.

“There are a lot of apartments in that area and with a school (Kent Phoenix Academy) there and lots of businesses, there is traffic at all hours of the day and night,” Fincher said. “I am willing to work with the council to come up with a (funding) solution.”

More than 300 students from 21 schools, including the Kent School District, participated in the 27th annual Game of Life Conference last week at Kent Commons.

Students from nine schools attended Dec. 15 and 12 schools took part on Dec. 16 in the conference, which is sponsored by the Kent Police Department and Kent Police Youth Board.

Stacy Judd, Kent Police community education coordinator, said the purpose of the conference is two-fold.

“We would like to influence individual behavior, so if as a student they are faced with a choice – whether it be nutrition, exercise or saying no to marijuana or alcohol – we want to influence their individual behavior,” Judd said. “We also want to have them take information that they learn today back into their school.”

Attendees are tasked with coming up with ways they can apply what they learned at the conference at their schools.

“They will start brain storming a project to do at their schools

Escandon added, “But when you come and see people smile and you see people taking information from the key note speakers, it feels good that you actually helped.”

Escandon said she appreciated the work Judd put into organizing the conference.

“She works very hard at this she spends so many hours here and so many hours planning it,” Escandon said.

Escandon said she hopes students who attended the conference will become leaders in their schools.

“You don’t have to be the popular one in your group to be the leader,” she said. “You don’t have to be outgoing either. You can be a silent leader in that you can help in small ways and not big ways.”

Emilio Torres and Cameron Stewart, sophomores at Kentridge High School, were invited by a school counselor to attend the conference on Dec. 15.

Torres said he appreciated how knowledgeable the presenters were.

“I learned a lot facts I didn’t know,” he said.

Stewart said one of her favorite parts of the workshop was a lecture on healthy living.

“He (the speaker) used the

Judge Laura Middaugh sentenced Hernandez-Roa to 16 years in prison for the second-degree murder of Castillo-Yanez, 39, of Federal Way, on July 20, 2014 in Kent. Defense attorneys asked for an exceptionally low sentence of just more than eight years. State guidelines put the sentence range at 12 to 20 years.

Prosecutors asked for 16 years.

Deputy Prosecutor LaKeysha Washington said the state considered filing a first-degree murder charge but agreed to drop it to second-degree murder after Hernandez-Roa pleaded guilty in November.

Defense attorney Sarah Perez wanted a lower sentence because HernandezRoa turned himself into police the same evening of the killing. Seattle Police contacted Kent Police after Hernandez-Roa told Seattle officers that he had an alter-

cation with his wife earlier in the day.

Kent Police found Castillo-Yanez dead in the backseat of her red Nissan Pathfinder in the Metro Park & Ride lot in the 23400 block of Military Road South. Prosecutors say Hernandez-Roa stabbed the woman at least 25 times.

“I’m extremely angry in the way that I know that he killed her,” said Ruth’s mother, Josefina Castillo Yanez-Condes, to the judge. “And seeing my granddaughters missing their mother. They’ve gone through two Christmas’ without her. Before when my daughter was alive it was very joyful. Now it’s only sad. We all see each other and we all have such sadness in our hearts.”

Judge Middaugh said she started looking at the low end of the sentence range because the defendant had no criminal history.

The defense filed a psychologist’s report about the rough upbringing Hernandez-Roa had, abandoned

at age 3 by his parents and growing up in a violent household. But she decided that report had no validity because it didn’t take into account anything from Castillo-Yanez’s family, especially the two daughters who witnessed domestic violence by HernandezRoa. Middaugh didn’t want to go on the low end of the sentence because it was such a brutal killing.

“It is difficult to stab someone 25 times when they are seated in a car,” Middaugh said. “And the question in my mind was why did he have that knife?

It made no sense to me that he said he just had it in the car.”

On that fatal day in July of last year, Hernandez-Roa met up with his ex-wife at church on a Sunday afternoon and invited her to dinner at BJ’s Restaurant at the Southcenter Mall. He then drove her to the Park & Ride lot on Kent’s West Hill where he stabbed her to death.

Hernandez-Roa told po-

December 25, 2015 [5]

lice he had learned CastilloYanez was cheating on him and the man she was dating had recently sent naked photos of her to him. Washington, the prosecutor, said Hernandez-Roa couldn’t handle that his former wife had been with another man and wouldn’t be with him anymore.

“She decided to tell the defendant she was done and she did that over dinner,” Washington said. “She wanted nothing else to do with him and wanted him to leave her alone.”

Washington said it was “absurd” for HernandezRoa to blame CastilloYanez for her own death because of her actions with another man.

“For the defendant to say that Ruth, who was divorced from the defendant, and engaged in a consensual sexual relationship is the reason why she is dead, is actually more evidence that he is a classic domestic violence perpetrator,” Washington said.

Two sisters and a cousin of Hernandez-Roa spoke

before the judge. They told him they would always be there for him and that they loved him.

“I am always going to be there along with my family for my brother when he gets out of this place,” said sister Erika Hernandez.

Susanna Hernandez, another sister, said her family will support him.

“I’m not here to judge you,” she said. “I’m here to tell you how much you are

loved. And Erika is already talking about what we can do when you get out. …

There is not a day that goes by that I don’t think of you.

We will always love you.”

Ashley Ortiz, Ruth’s daughter, said she feared Hernandez-Roa. “I’m afraid that when he comes out he will come searching for us,” Ortiz said.

“My mom didn’t deserve to die that way. … I’m very angry.”

[ CHARGES from page 1 ] Grant. Kime also faces two charges of first-degree assault for allegedly firing shots at her parents, who were not injured.

Prosecutors have requested bail to be set at $5 million. Kime is scheduled to be arraigned on Jan. 4 in King County Superior Court, but that date could change because of other unrelated charges he faces.

Kime targeted the vehicle because he believed the victim’s father to be associated with a rival street gang known as Deuce 8. Kime, also known as YM (Young Marty) or Marty, is a self-proclaimed member of the Low Profile gang. He blamed the Deuce 8 gang for the Seattle murder in March of John Williams, his friend and fellow gang member, according to charging papers.

“Baby Malijah, it turns out, was a blood relative of the very friend that Kime sought to avenge,” Kent Police Chief Ken Thomas said at a news conference Monday at City Hall to announce the arrest and charges.

Others at the press conference included King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg, King County Sheriff John Urquhart and Seattle assistant police chief Robert Merner. The investigation into the shooting also involved

the FBI, the ATF (federal bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms) and the Northwest High Intensity Drug Trafficking Criminal Intelligence Unit.

Kime, who has a lengthy criminal record, is in custody at the Federal Detention Center in SeaTac on an unlawful possession of a firearm charge.

He has been in custody for several months. His criminal history includes multiple assault and robbery convictions. His last known address prior to detention was in Auburn.

Thomas said the investigation has involved 46 search warrants, the review of approximately 71,000 social media pages (Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat), a detective’s narrative of more than 1,000 pages, 213 witness interviews and more than 110,000 phone call record reviews.

“Our investigation indicates that Kime was not the only participant in this terrible murder,” said Thomas, who declined to reveal how many other suspects police might be looking for. “We continue to work hard to bring everyone involved to justice.”

Detectives have not recovered the gun used in the shooting. But they matched shell casings found at the shooting scene near the intersection of Lake Fenwick Road and Reith Road to a gun that Kime posed with in a cellphone photo. The family was head-

ing home to their apartment complex from shopping at Safeway in Kent when the shooting occurred.

A witness told police that Kime had borrowed a dark blue 2014 Chevrolet Cruze, the car used in the shooting, just a couple of hours before the shooting. Investigators found a fingerprint of Kime inside the vehicle’s glove box. Kime’s cellphone records placed his phone near the shooting as well as where he borrowed the car from in Kent, based on cell tower use by his phone.

Witnesses told detectives about the ongoing gang feud, including the shooting death on March 19 of Williams.

Detectives also obtained a cellphone video showing Kime one day after the murder of the baby girl holding up a Deuce 8 hand sign with one hand and pointing a middle finger at the sign with his other hand. At the same time, Kime yelled “Deuce 8 … Killa.”

Kime was arrested in late April in Oregon for an outstanding warrant.

Detectives later searched a storage unit that had Kime’s belongings from the trip. They found documents of Kime’s, including handwritten rap lyrics with a verse that read, “We bringin the heat, so clear the streets, hate to see a baby catch a bullet with his teeth … .”

COMMENTARY

“Have you donated money or items to charities this holiday season?”

Reen Doser

?

Question of the week:

Our public schools rely on more than 25,000 paraeducators – school employees who work under the supervision of teachers in the classroom – in all facets of education, especially in programs designed for at risk students.

Yet paraeducators receive virtually no training from the state, and there are no state standards for who may be hired.

That is troubling. Our most vulnerable students should be taught by highly-trained professionals. Every student should have that right. That’s just common sense. Next year there will be proposed legislation in Olympia to solve this problem, and your representative, Pat Sullivan, D-Covington (District 47), will be critical in that debate.

SB 5179 will solve the problem by creating a system of licensing and minimum standards for paraeducators, a training program, and a career ladder. It will also require more training for teachers in how to supervise paraeducators.

SB 5179 is supported by Superintendent Randy Dorn and is based on the work and recommendations of the Paraeducator Standards Workgroup; an expert panel created by the legislature. This bill passed the Senate last year, but stalled in the House because some wanted to refer the issue to another group for more study. We don’t need more studies.

We don’t need more delays. We need to move forward now to make sure our kids are being taught by professionals who have been well trained.

Paraeducators provide more than half of all instructional time to kids who are struggling and need extra help. In our state and federal programs designed for students who are at risk of dropping out, or don’t speak English as their first language, more than half of all instructional hours are being provided

Pay gap between men, women needs exposure Studies have shown that there is a gap between men’s and women’s salaries in the workforce. Although the magnitude of the gap has varied throughout the years, it has been constant.

There are many theories out there as to why this is and how to stop and/or prevent it. There are many people in Kent alone who are impacted by the wage gap. I believe that it’s important that the citizens of our country are aware of the difference of pay between men and women.

I believe that if our society was more informed on the current statistics of this gap, they would be able to do something to eliminate it.

In wake of all the recent mass shootings, as well as school shootings, I believe there needs to be a stricter policy on gun control.

I understand adults keep a gun in their homes for security purposes, as well as for hunting or just shooting at targets in the woods.

Yet there doesn’t seem to be any rule changes when it comes to purchasing a gun.

I understand the fact that it isn’t easy to point out a mental illness from someone who looks and may act perfectly normal.

Also, keeping guns safe and locked up in the house with children or teenagers present is very important. Children don’t know the capability they have to do serious damage.

There have been incidents of kids in elementary school bringing guns to school, not knowing how dangerous they are.

There also have been reports of children actually shooting themselves, unaware of how to work a gun. Parents don’t lock up their guns.

Having stricter policies on guns is more important than what most people may think.

By licensing paraeducators, we are enabling them to be the bridge between parent and community expectations and student achievement. By helping to bridge the opportunity gap, they are giving every student the best chance to succeed.

Banning Muslims from entering the country may sound like a crazy idea to some, but many actually see it as necessary to protect the nation. The hatred for Muslims in the country is not something new that Donald Trump created. In a recent Gallup poll, 38 percent of the country said that they will not vote for a well-qualified Muslim candidate.

Merry Christmas from Marianne

THE GARDENER

garden grow better.

If she wants a gift shiny, then don't be a fool, it's not a dumb diamond, but a sparkling new tool.

If fragrance is listed you can forget French perfume, it's a pile of manure that'll make gardeners swoon.

Give night crawlers, not nightgowns, the type of hose that gives water. (Anything for the kitchen is not worth the bother.)

Give a great gift that digs in the dirt, it's better than any designer-brand shirt.

Now look quick at Santa, this guy's not so dumb, Under his glove, he hides a green thumb.

His knees are so dirty, his back how it aches, his boots stomp on slugs, (he gives them no breaks).

Santa only works winter, you can surely see why, The rest of the year it's a gardening high.

Elves plant in the spring, pull weeds merrily all summer, in fall they all harvest, but winter's a bummer And so Christmas gives Santa a part-time employment, 'Till spring when the blooms are his real life Marianne Binetti

After more than 30 years of writing a garden column this is still my most requested encore column for reprints.

So as a gift to readers you can visit my website, binettigarden.com, and download this Christmas poem for newsletters or other use with my copyright permission.

T’was the week before Christmas, and all through the yard, not a gift was given, not even a card.

The tools were all hung, in the carport with care, with hopes that St. Nicholas soon would repair, the shovel with blade all rusty and cracked, the pitchfork still shiny, but handle it lacked.

When out on my lawn, (it’s brown and abused) I could see poor old Santa, looking confused.

No list had been left for Santa to see, no gardening gifts were under the tree.

But wait there's still time, it's not Christmas yet, and gardening gifts are the quickest to get.

You can forget the silk tie, the fluffy new sweater, give something to make the

enjoyment.

So ask the big guy for garden gifts this year, Seeds, plants and tools, Santa holds them all dear.

You see malls may be crowded, vendors hawking their ware, but visit a nursery, stress-free shopping is there.

Now Santa's flown off, to the nursery he goes, and his voice fills the night with loud Hoe! Hoe! Hoes!
