ROYAL WATCH

BY STEVE HUNTER

[email protected]

Nearly 5,000 drivers were caught speeding in two Kent school zones during the first six months of the city’s new traffic

camera program.Cameras caught 4,968 drivers

breaking the 20 mph limit near Neely-O’Brien Elementary and Sunrise Elementary from January through June, according to Kent Municipal Court records.

The city could receive as much as $869,000 in ticket revenue from the six months when all of the cases are eventually closed. So far, the city has received $482,200 in revenue with 2,965 cases closed. Another 2,003 cases remain open.

The cameras go into operation again when Kent schools open Thursday, Aug. 28. Kent only has cameras at two school zones.

Even minus the city costs of $120,000 to operate the program for the six months, Kent could

take in $749,000 when or if all tickets are paid in full.

The expenses include $114,000 to Arizona-based American Traf-fic Solutions (ATS), Inc., which

School officials mum about grievanceBY ROSS COYLE

The Kent Education Association and Kent School District have remained quiet about potential ways to resolve the KEA’s grievance against Mill Creek Middle School.

A memorial emerges for David Christianson, the Shell Station manager, and Carlos Gonzalez, the store’s clerk, who were shot and killed in the parking lot Aug. 20. MARK KLAAS, Kent Reporter

A 29-year-old Burien man was charged Monday in King County Superior Court with two counts of murder in the first degree with firearm enhancements for last

week’s double homicide at a Kent gas station.

The defendant, Leland Russell Jr., is accused in the shooting deaths of two employees of the Shell station – David Christianson, 52, and Carlos Gonzalez, 20.

Enthusiasm was in short supply at the Kent Cham-ber of Commerce’s special meeting Wednesday to discuss the city’s proposed Local Improvement District that would be created to help pay for railroad grade separations.

“If you don’t have the

money to do it, just don’t do it. Seeking 80-percent fund-ing from business owners in that area is exceedingly high,” said Nick Dhami, whose son, Harmon, owns the Arco AM/PM station on 212th and 84th Avenue.

Jeff Ficks, with Skis Painting, echoed his senti-ments.

“You don’t have the money, so you scale back,”

Ficks said.The taxes, he continued,

never stop. “You’re hurting small businesses in Kent. It’s hard enough for us to make a living.”

The three proposed grade separations, which would include 212th Street and 228th Street, are estimated to cost $80 million, of which $20 million have been acquired through vari-

ous grants, the largest being a $13 grant through Wash-ington’s Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board (FMSIB ) in 2004.

But recently, city planners and engineers discovered that the board had voted to pull the grant funding if the city couldn’t produce a funding package by November. One of its first plans was to appeal to business owners in the area while still seeking grants.

New contracts with BNSF and Union Pacific are

estimated to vastly increase the volume of trains run-ning through Kent. Among the coal and oil carrying impacts that the trains will generate, commute and wait times at train tracks will be increased. Currently estimated to be two hours of stalled time each day, the trains (some of which could run 1.5 miles long) are expected to add another hour to that time.

Other members of the chamber were more open to listen.

“What about doing a single critical grade separa-tion?” asked April Sta Rosa with Valley Floors.

Engineer Chad Bie-ren responded that they considered that in the past,

but the FMSIB grant applies the $13 for all three and prohibits them being rolled into a single project.

Kent Public Works Direc-tor Tim Laporte said that this is the first part of several grants the city is pursuing, explaining that “a lot of people want to be the last man in,” which gives them both prestige and leverage.

The city has acknowledged that it’s a sudden and uncom-fortable reality to request $60 million from business own-ers, but the FMSIB has forced its hand. Laporte hopes that, with the inclusion of a LID agreement, more grant agen-cies can see that there is seri-ous interest and investment in the area and will be more receptive to offering funds.

Two parties responsible for the murder of a 39-year-old Kent woman, who was found in the trunk of her burned car near Black Diamond, have been sen-tenced to prison.

Kent residents and co-defen-dants Kennon Fastrup, 32, and Michelle Backstrom, 37, were sentenced last Friday, with Fas-trup receiving 45½ years in prison and Backstrom sentenced to 12½ years.

A jury convicted Fastrup last month on charges of first-degree murder, second-degree arson, attempting to elude and violation of a no-contact order. Backstrom

pled guilty in March to a charge of second-degree murder.

According to the King County Prosecutors, the pair murdered Denise Grigsby, 39, in May 2012 after an argument.

According to the charges, the murder occurred May 4 at Backstrom’s home on the East Hill, after an argument between Fastrup and Grigsby.

Grigsby’s body was found two days later, shortly after 4 a.m., when Mountain View Fire and Rescue responded to a report of a car fire in the area of South-east 328th Street and Southeast Auburn-Black Diamond Road.

The fire department found Grigsby’s Toyota Camry fully engulfed in flames, with her body,

burned beyond recognition, in the trunk. Grigsby was eventu-ally identified through her dental records.

The couple was arrested May 11 in North Bend after a high-speed car pursuit. Investigators said they had been camping out in the woods near I-90 after the killing and car fire.

Following their arrest, Back-strom confessed to detectives that she had participated in the murder and arson, saying an argument among the three turned physical, moving from the kitchen to the garage.

There, Backstrom claimed in the charging documents, Fastrup struck Grigsby in the head with a flashlight while Backstrom also

punched. She stated that Fastrup strangled Grigsby with a braided metal cable, and when the cable became too slick with blood, Backstrom strangled Grigsby with a key lanyard, while Fastrup continued to strike the victim in the head.

The King County Medical Examiner’s Office determined that Grigsby died from blunt force trauma to the head.

According to the charging documents, Fastrup denied participating in the murder, but confessed to burning the car. He claimed he did it at the request of Backstrom and did not know Grigsby was dead, or that her body was in the trunk, until they actually arrived at the scene and

he opened the trunk. He said he burned the car anyway to assist Backstrom.

All three individuals were believed to be abusing metham-phetamine.

Fastrup and Backstrom had lengthy criminal histories, accord-ing to Senior Deputy Prosecutor Kristin Richardson. Backstrom had been released from prison two years prior to this incident following a vehicular homicide conviction. Fastrup had previ-ous convictions for attempting to elude, assault and drug and firearms violations.

“This was a brutal, harrowing murder with a hideous aftermath,” Richardson said in an email. “The convictions of these defendants will not bring back Denise Grigsby, but they delivered justice, and the community is safer as a result.”

Kent prepares to put par 3 golf course up for saleBY STEVE HUNTER

[email protected]

The city of Kent will take the next steps to market its Riverbend par 3 golf course property after the City Council unanimously approved rezoning the 24-acre site along the Green River.

"The goals for the site are to generate sufficient financial return from the sale to meet the needs of the golf course for decades to come and to promote a quality marquee gateway develop-ment that's fitting of such a wonderful site," said Ben Wolters, city economic and community development director, during an interview after the Aug. 19 council vote.

Kent will work with Jones Lang LaSalle, a commercial real estate broker with Seattle offices, to assess the market potential for the property, Wolters said.

The rezone changes the property from open space to general commercial mixed use to allow a broad mix of uses. Any multifamily residential (apart-ments, condos, hotel) must include 5 percent commercial use.

The council voted in April to try to sell the course to a developer to help bail out the financially struggling golf complex, which also features an 18-hole course, driving range and mer-chandise shop.

contracted with the city to provide the camera services that include the equipment as well as mailing out tickets. ATS contracts with Des Moines, Seattle, Federal Way, Issaquah and more than 300 other communities in 21 states to provide traffic camera services.

The other costs include $4,710 for Kent Police overtime work to review the tickets and $1,640 for court and temporary help, said Aaron BeMiller, city finance director.

“The figures represent only the direct costs associated with the program (court temporary help, police overtime and contractual costs) and do not include any in-direct expenses (legal/court/oth-er) which are not coded directly to this program,” BeMiller said.

BeMiller also explained the difference between the potential total revenue of nearly $1 million and the $482,000 figure.

“The $869,000 amount is the total amount of citations issued and the $482,000 amount is the actual revenue received through June,” he said. “Individuals who receive a citation have the op-portunity to offer any mitigating circumstances to a judge. From an accounting perspective, the city does not presume payment of citations and therefore we do not book these citation amounts in the accounting system as a receiv-able. Rather, the city only books revenue from these citations when payment has been received.”

Of the 2,965 cases closed, driv-ers paid 2,049 tickets, according to court records. Another 636 re-sulted in mitigation hearings and 341 in contested hearings to reach the $482,000 amount paid.

In a contested hearing, a driver feels they did not commit the in-fraction and would like to contest it to the judge, said Margaret Yet-ter, court administrator. She said rarely are these found to be not

committed due to the video of the incident. The hearing could result in a fine reduction.

In mitigation hearings, the driver admits they committed the infraction but would like to ex-plain the circumstances. Typically, there will be a fine reduction with this type of hearing, Yetter said.

Cameras take a video and still images of a speeding vehicle from behind. Speed is measured by sen-sors in the road. After review by a police officer, ATS staff will send a ticket to the vehicle’s registered owner. The cameras only take images of the vehicle and license plate, not the driver or passengers.

City officials started the pro-gram in January at the request of Kent School District officials in an effort to slow drivers and protect children walking to and from school in the morning and afternoon.

Councilman Jim Berrios said the results of the program’s first six months would be discussed at

the Sept. 9 Public Safety Com-mittee at City Hall. Berrios, who chairs the committee that oversees the traffic camera program, said he had hoped the numbers of cited drivers would be lower.

“That’s about 475 per month on average and we’ve only had it since January,” Berrios said. “That’s pretty disturbing.”

Berrios said the net revenue from the tickets would be put into a reserve account to cover future costs of the program.

“After the first or second years the numbers drop and it costs the city money,” Berrios said. “We’ll use the money to pay for the system.”

It bothers Berrios that 2,048 drivers were 10 mph or more over the 20 mph school speed limit.

“That becomes real serious,” he said. “We have plans to go over the information (Sept. 9). We still have issues. It takes someone to

get a ticket to under-stand they better slow down.”

Berrios said the revenue and costs of the program need to be examined closely to determine the actual amount of net revenue.

A total of 2,616 speeding tickets were issued at the Neely-O’Brien school zone at 64th Avenue South and South 236th Street. A total of 2,356 were issued in the Sunrise school zone in the 22300 block of 132nd Avenue Southeast on the East Hill. The two schools were chosen for cameras by city staff because traffic studies showed more speed-ing violations at those

schools than others in the district.

City officials last fall estimated ticket revenue at $421,000 (after costs) based on an entire school year. Problems with the camera equip-ment delayed the start of the program to Janu-ary from last August. City staff estimated costs at $150,000 for a full year including $97,000 to ATS for the four cameras; $20,000 for pay to police officers to review the video; $26,000 for court staff; and $7,000 for city legal staff.

Police officers who review video receive overtime pay so that officers are not taken off the street and current service levels are main-tained, city officials said.

Bail was originally set at $2 million, but prosecutors re-quested and the court ordered that bail be denied for the de-fendant because of the danger he poses to the community.

Russell is scheduled to be arraigned at 9 a.m. Sept. 8 in courtroom GA of the Maleng Regional Justice Center, Kent.

If convicted as charged, the sentence range is 50 to 63 years in prison.

Senior Deputy Prosecu-tors Jessica Berliner and Karissa Taylor are handling the case.

Prosecutors allege that Russell and another man ar-rived at the busy gas station – at the southwest corner of South 212th Street and 64th Avenue South – during the morning commute on Aug. 20 and started arguments

with several customers.According to charging

papers, witnesses said the defendant and his friend were rude and combative toward the customers and employees before they were told to leave. After Russell’s friend started to physically assault one of the victims, Russell allegedly retrieved his gun from his vehicle and shot the two un-armed victims multiple times at close range, according to charging papers.

‘Senseless, outrageous act’“This was an absolutely

senseless and outrageous act of gun violence that claimed two innocent lives,” said King County Prosecuting Attorney Dan Satterberg. “The evidence shows that the defendant and his friend came to the gas sta-tion looking for trouble.

“As his friend provoked a fistfight with a store clerk,

the defendant retrieved his gun from his car and, with-out warning, fired multiple rounds, killing Mr. Gon-zales, the store clerk, and Mr. Christianson, the store manager, who was trying to break up the fist fight,” Sat-terberg said.

During an interview with detectives after his arrest, Russell admitted to shooting both men, according to court documents. Russell, who is Hispanic, said the dispute started after construction workers at the service station said racial slurs to him and his friend, a black man he identi-fied as “Sac.”

Russell was the only shooter, according to Kent Police. Detectives have identified the second subject, known as Sac, who was at the scene and are actively looking for him. He is wanted for questioning.

“We are currently work-ing on getting the second subject involved identified,” Kent Police Det. Melanie Frazier said in an email Monday. “We cannot release any additional information on the second subject yet. We do not want to jeopar-dize the investigation.”

Detectives also seized the black Cadillac that was used during the incident and is being processed for potential evidence.

Police used surveillance video from the Shell station, both external and internal cameras, to help determine what happened. The video showed a brief verbal and physical argument between the two victims and a black man. Then Russell appears to retrieve a firearm from a black Cadillac and shoots the two men at close range. The men died at the scene.

[ SHOOTING from page 1 ]


When it comes to cultivating a welcoming environment for immi-grants, policymakers in Washington are lacking.

Yes, the Evergreen State is home to a diverse group of residents. Washingto-nians speak 167 different languages, according to the United States Census Bureau, and nearly 60 languages are spoken by more than

1,000 residents. But as one of just 19 states without an official language policy, Washington’s immi-grants are met with little assistance to help them assimilate.

More than 8 percent of Washington residents are

considered limited English profi-cient, meaning they would struggle to carry on more than a basic con-

versation in English. Currently, in an effort to include

these residents, the state offers driver’s license examinations in six languages other than English. Countless state documents and ser-vices are offered in foreign languages for the same reason. Unfortunately, as well intentioned as these transla-tions may seem, they are misguided when it comes to creating a unified environment for all residents.

As an immigrant myself, I know that to succeed in the United States, English proficiency is key. As some-one who came to the United States before the government provided the crutch of native language transla-tions, I also know that delaying English acquisition does immigrants no favors.

Without an official language policy, immigrants receive the mes-sage that English is optional, not essential. Without English profi-ciency, immigrants are often held back from better, higher paying jobs,

‘Failing’ schools can be fixed, but are we up to the task?

If you have kids in school, you should have received a letter from the state telling you that your particular school district is failing.

That’s not really true, but thanks to the state Legislature and the stubborn state teachers union, most school districts in our state don’t meet the requirements of the federal No Child Left Behind act.

The act requires that all students pass state reading and math tests. The state sought a waiver, but teachers balked at the requirement that test scores be part of their evaluation process.

Having all students pass reading and math tests might be achievable, but given the funds

our state allocates to edu-cation and the reluctance of voters to OK more money for schools, it isn’t going to happen.

It’s not that all kids can’t learn. It’s just that all kids don’t learn at the same pace.

If you remember your school days, you’ll recall that some students zipped through the daily lessons and got top grades at the end of the school year. Others – most of us – did OK in the classroom, passed the tests and got our diploma. The rest of the students essentially crashed and burned.

In all likelihood, those kids just needed more time. But time costs money.

Not all parents can afford private tutoring for their kids. So, if it’s important that students pass reading and math tests – and the feds say it is – then we need to give schools more money to provide that extra time and instruction.

The Legislature already faces a state court order to adequately fund education. Lawmak-ers could reallocate state money from other state programs and agencies. But that only hobbles the state’s efforts to provide other needed services.

Doing things right takes money. The Legis-lature – and taxpayers – need to consider what that really means. And then step up to the task and do it.

Keep the name Kent-Meridian

“Getting a close look at firefighting” (Kent Reporter, Aug. 22) was probably the best article written in the Reporter in the last several years. We found it very informative while also very interesting. Well done.

But then I started reading about Kent-Meridian and the proposed renaming of our high school to include the word “international.”

What’s next? Kent Inter-national? Washington State International? Then there is United States of International America. Be real.

We are supposed to be a country of assimilation, not a country that divides it people by being a country of diversity.

Yes, it is great to have many nationalities among us with their various backgrounds, but let us welcome them as Americans and expect them to assimilate by learning and

using the English language. After all, isn’t that one of the

reasons that they “chose” the USA?

Isn’t that what the immi-grants of the past did? And what contributions they made to America!

Keep K-M as K-M.

We need to invest in infrastructure

As I sat in traffic trying to drive up the I-5 north, I be-moaned the lack of funding for our state’s infrastructure.

About 67 percent of all of Washington’s roads are in poor or mediocre condition, according to infrastructurere-portcard.org, and needs an es-timated $6.3 billion to remedy all infrastructural weaknesses.

I know that the state and federal government are constantly tightening their budgets. I know that wastewa-ter treatment, public trans-portation and bridge upkeep cannot always be kept in peak condition. I know that House Republicans want to allocate money that could be spent on infrastructural repairs elsewhere.

But roads, something every citizen uses in their everyday lives, need to be at least in a

Fain and Sullivan, who both represent District 47, were among six legisla-tors awarded by the King County Family Coalition for Developmental Dis-abilities of the Arc of King County. The ceremony and summer potluck picnic drew more than 120 people to the Renton Community Center.

During the 2014 session, the Legislature passed Senate Bill 6387, adding 5,000 individuals with developmental dis-abilities (DD) to services. The move addressed the unmet need for waiting families whose children

qualified for state respite and other state Devel-opmental Disabilities Administration services.

Fain and Sullivan were awarded for their roles with a bipartisan effort to help people with devel-opmental disabilities. The annual award is given to

legislators who go above and beyond to champion DD issues.

“In his powerful roles as Senate Majority Floor Leader, and on the Senate Rules Committee, Sen. Fain steered DD legisla-tion through the Senate,” said Joe Cunningham,

event emcee and coordi-nator of the King County Family Coalition. “As a leading advocate in the Senate for employment for individuals with de-velopmental disabilities, Sen. Fain has dedicated his support by making it a priority for his caucus."

health insurance and more. They are likely to encounter language barriers on a daily basis at the grocery store, the doctor’s office or a child’s school.

Conversely, if Washington’s state government agencies offered services in English, rather than an abundance of foreign languages, immigrants would face an added incentive to learn English sooner. With the money saved on translations, the state government could even designate funding to create additional English language learning classes or invest in education, infra-structure or other areas in need.

In other words, declaring English the official language of Washington is a win-win situation for all parties involved. With an Official English

policy, residents are still free to speak the language of their choosing, but will also benefit from an added incentive to learn English. That English proficiency can lead to a 30 percent increase in income, contributing to a better life for the immigrant population and an im-proved economic outlook for the state.

Best of all, declaring English the official language is a measure that is widely supported by citizens of all backgrounds. A Rasmussen Reports poll conducted on Aug. 9-10 found that 83 percent of Americans support the policy, and an even more overwhelm-ing 94 percent believe English profi-ciency is important to succeed in the United States.

While policymakers may believe they are benefiting Washington’s im-migrant population by providing native

language translations, reality could not be farther from the truth. Diversity is an asset, and we should respect the lin-guistic and cultural differences among residents of the United States. But without a common factor to unite us in our diversity, we remain divided.

I encourage the Washington State Legislature to take action this year and send a message to all residents that we are united through a common, shared language, English.

Mujica is the chairman of U.S. English, Inc., one of the nation’s oldest and largest nonpartisan citizens’ action groups dedicated to preserving the unifying role of the English language in the United States.

The grievance, filed at the beginning of sum-mer, charges Mill Creek

administration with negligence in its duties to provide effective conflict resolution support for problem students in the district.

According to the griev-ance statement, Mill Creek administrators and Principal Sherilyn Ulland failed to address the is-

sues of student discipline, which it said were “widely known to be out of hand. Students engage in violent behavior toward one another on campus and en route between school and home.”

These problems culmi-nated last year in several students being beaten up at the school and harassed outside the school.

At the end of the year, Ulland’s assistant princi-pals, Martha Shevfeland and LySander Collins, were reassigned to Pan-ther Lake and Merid-ian elementary schools,

respectively.The district denies that

their transfers coincided with the grievance or spike in problems at Mill Creek.

Because the grievance was filed at the end of last school year, Mill Creek will have several days to respond to the complaints with changes in the school’s structure to ad-dress the problems it faces with its student body.

According to district emails, Mill Creek dealt with more than 60 refer-rals a day from teachers near the end of the school year. Such referrals ranged from small classroom disruptions and bullying

to confrontations and fistfights.

Some teachers and parents said the issue with Mill Creek goes beyond the school. They said that the issues Mill Creek deals with are endemic to an impoverished area and until Kent can resolve that, there’s only so much that the school district can do.

“We’re on the same page, but the particulars of how things will be implemented need to be agreed on,” said KEA President Cindy Prescott. “Everyone wants a safe school.”

last four years, collected 52 percent of the primary vote. Knowles, a political outsider who has served in the armed forces and oper-ated his own construction business, garnered nearly 48 percent of the vote.

Knowles vows to run an aggressive campaign to close the gap. The Nov. 4 general election is more than nine weeks away.

“I never take on some-thing and expect to come close,” Knowles said at the Kent Chamber of Com-merce’s third annual Speed Candidating event at the Kent Senior Activity Center on Aug. 21. “I actually was disappointed. I thought I already had beaten (Sul-livan). I had knocked on enough doors, talked to enough people, so initially I was little disappointed until other Republicans came and said, ‘No, Barry, that’s great.’

“But I always expect to win.”

As does Sullivan, who acknowledges he’s in for a

tough fight. He was some-what surprised by the pri-mary results but contributes the close numbers to a very low voter turnout.

“I don’t know what to expect, but I just know that I’m going to work hard,” Sullivan said of the race. “I take nothing for granted. I want to go out and talk to voters. I want to make sure that they know the truth of what I’ve done that last 10 years and what I plan to do in the future.”

That includes working with city government and the local business commu-nity in a pitch to invest in jobs as the economy slowly rebounds. Sullivan intends to make government more efficient, effective, and ac-countable.

He supports critical investments and improve-ments in the K-12 educa-tion system and has held the line on tuition increas-es. He supports enhance-ments to the area’s infra-structure and has worked to support local economic development opportunities.

But Sullivan understands the Legislature faces a dif-ficult season ahead, dealing with the prospects of a $2 billion budget shortfall.

Knowles wants to elimi-nated “foolish spending” in Olympia.

“I’m convinced it’s a spending problem, not a money problem,” he said.

Knowles was particu-larly upset the state Senate suspended the tax-limiting Initiative 960, including a

requirement for a public advisory vote on tax increases that are deemed an emergency by lawmakers. I-960 required that two-thirds of the Legislature approve any tax increase, a significant hurdle

compared to the simple majority approval needed for other bills.

Another close race unfolding is in District 33, where Mia Gregerson and Jeanette Burrage will face off in November for a House seat.

Gregerson, D-SeaTac, who holds the Position No. 2 seat, attracted 49 percent of the primary vote. Burrage, R-Des Moines, drew 37 percent.

Gregerson anticipates a fight from Burrage.

“Definitely, this race has some life to it, and I’m very excited to use that as a rea-son to continue to network and get out into the com-

munity,” said Gregerson, adding that she brings a “fresh, creative voice” to the House.

“I understand our com-munity and I’m willing to champion our needs for this community,” she added. “My door will always be open regardless of party issues.”

Gregerson, who serves on the SeaTac City Council, was appointed to the House seat in December by the King County Council to fill Dave Upthegrove’s seat when he left the Legisla-ture for the King County Council.

Burrage, a Des Moines City Councilmember, remains optimistic after reviewing the primary numbers.

“Since the incumbent didn’t quite get to 50 per-cent, that’s a good sign that people may be ready for a change,” Burrage said.

Both candidates said the budget gap remains the big-gest challenge in 2015.

“We’re going to need someone who will make tough budget decisions,” said Burrage, who touts legislative, judicial and budgetary experience.

Meanwhile, incumbent state Sens. Joe Fain (District 47) and Karen Keiser (Dis-trict 33) had strong primary performances.

Fain (R-Auburn) had a significant edge on Democratic challenger Carol Barber following the primary. Keiser (D-Kent) received 51 percent of the

primary vote to 36 percent for Republican Martin Metz, of Des Moines.

In District 47, incumbent Mark Hargove (R-Coving-ton) will square off against Democrat Chris Barringer for the House seat. Har-grove took 58 percent of the primary vote. Barringer received 41 percent.

The event attracted eight candidates involved in five legislative races in districts 33 and 47.

Unlike debates, the fast and informative event al-lowed candidates to discuss issues with residents seated at various tables. Candi-dates moved to a new table after a 10-minute session, continuing the process until they had met the entire audience.

Riverbend faces a $2.6 mil-lion debt, capital investments of at least $6 million and operating deficits of about $300,000 per year. City offi-cials hope to sell the par 3 to cover the debt as well as the capital improvements needed on the 18-hole course. The debt is owed to an inter-fund loan, money that the city borrowed from its water and fleet funds to help pay off the bond for the golf complex.

“As a council we have been talking about this for quite some time to put the zoning in place for the Riverbend golf course,” Councilman Bill Boyce said prior to the vote. “This has been a very, very long conversation among the council members and definitely not an easy deci-sion. But we are very much aware of the need to be able to do something different to meet some of our financial obligations.”

Wolters expects the analysis by the real estate broker to be done in the next five weeks or so. Then city staff must figure out the best approach to market the property.

The city will seek devel-opers to submit a request for qualifications and then narrow that list to two or three for a more formal request for proposals, Wolt-ers said. City officials used a similar process to deter-mine the developer for The Platform apartments down-town at Fourth Avenue and West Smith Street.

“I think it’s a process that

will occur over the coming year,” Wolters said when asked how long it will take before the city might select a potential developer.

Developers showed a high interest in the property even before the rezoning.

“There’s already inter-est in the development community,” Wolters said. “Oakpointe (a part of the Yarrow Bay group) is still very interested in the prop-erty and others have voiced interest as the word has gotten out there.”

The par 3 course and driving range opened in 1968 along with the neigh-boring Colony Park apart-ments before the city later took over the course. Berry and corn fields previously were on the property.

City park officials proposed to replace the par 3 by building a 2-acre training facility with a couple of short holes next to the driving range as well as installing forward tees on the 18-hole course to make the holes shorter for senior and youth golfers.

As many as 1,509 units housing up to 3,470 people could be built on the site, according to city planning documents based on the King County buildable lands study. City planner Matt Gilbert, however, said based on that same study the more likely numbers are 422 resi-dential units for 970 people.

Office and retail space could employ approximate-ly 1,200 office jobs and 200 retail jobs

Residential buildings are likely to be similar to The

Platform apartments under construction in downtown, according to an applicant

form submitted by Kurt Hanson, city economic de-velopment manager, to the

city planning department.A fully built residents and

commercial complex could

lead to an estimated 13,935 new daily vehicle trips, ac-cording to city studies.

FOR THE REPORTER

Brand new backpacks and plenty of school sup-plies awaited 224 children who live at Mercy Housing’s Appian Way Apartments in Kent.

U.S. Bank in the Kent area provided free back-packs and school supplies to the children in prepara-tion for the school year.

U.S. Bank employee volunteers, along with Sharon Hughes, U.S. Bank community affairs manager, and Teresa Palmer, regional manager of resident ser-vices for Mercy Housing, distributed the backpacks

and school supplies at Appian Way Apartments, 25818 26th Place S.

Mercy Housing is working to create a more humane world where poverty is alleviated, com-munities are healthy and all people can develop their full potential. The people at Mercy Housing believe that affordable housing and sup-portive programs improve the economic status of resi-dents, transform neighbor-hoods and stabilize lives.

“Children need to have backpacks and the proper school supplies when they begin the school year,” said

Chris Heman, president of U.S. Bank in Washington. “This special school sup-plies event is one way we show our commitment to the Seattle community. U.S. Bank is honored to have a long and supportive rela-tionship with Mercy Hous-ing. U.S. Bank has helped Mercy Housing create and preserve housing for lower income families by provid-ing grants, sponsorships, employees as board mem-bers and financing for their operations and housing development projects in Se-attle, and across U.S. Bank’s 25-state retail footprint.”

SEAHAWKS CUT BRONSON

Former Kentwood High School football star Demitrius

Bronson was among the first round of cuts from the

Seattle Seahawks. Bronson, a running back who played at

the University of Washington and Eastern Washington,

rushed for 45 yards on 11 carries in three games

during the preseason. Bronson dropped what would

have likely been the game-winning screen pass in the

opening exhibition game against Denver.

Coach Pete Carroll praised the undrafted free agent

following the game, calling Bronson a natural and

decisive runner who catches the ball well.

Bronson can now sign with any of the 32 NFL teams

and is still eligible for the Seahawks practice squad.

Kent-Meridian is ready to show the rest of the South Puget Sound League that it’s not a foot-ball team to be discounted.

The Royals, behind the big-play exploits of Quincy Carter, improved last season, finishing in the middle of the SPSL North Division pack at 4-6.

K-M is ready to take the next step as it gears up for its season opener, a nonleague encounter at Battle Ground next Friday. Kickoff is 7 p.m.

The players hope their hard work over the summer pays off. The biggest difference between this year and last, they say, is the way the team internalized their self-confidence, instead of getting it from their coaches.

“It has a lot to do with fellow-ship,” said Gabriel Galman, a small but muscular powerhouse of a running back who covers 40 yards in 4.5 seconds. Galman also mans one cornerback posi-tion for the Royals.

“We’re a big old family out here, and the thing is we’ve stayed together,” Galman said. “So when we’re out there we trust each other, and that’s what really changed the atmosphere out here.”

A lot of this has to do with the team bonding outside of practices, as well as working out and training extensively before preseason drills began.

“During the dead period we’d just strictly work out, nothing

around the football,” Galman said. Galman and center Tanner

Torr spent time working with the team in less regimented workouts. Torr said that it helped build the team’s camaraderie and confidence.

“Without the coaches we’re able to control the pace but also put in the work,” said Torr, who is widely known as the Royals’

strongest and biggest player. He also wrestles in the offseason.

K-M enters the season with a new quarterback. Ben Woods replaces Carter, who is playing running back at Central Wash-ington University this fall.

“He’s already stepped into the leadership role as a quarterback. He’s just stepping up and he’s re-ally ready to take this role,” Torr said of Woods.

Coach Brett Allen is confident as ever about the Royals’ abilities. Some of this comes from the Kent All-City

Lift Off summer event, during which the team hoisted more than 6,000 combined pounds, 400 more than the runner-up, to take the weightlift-ing competition.

Allen said his team is driven to win.

“What’s nice is that the kids are talking about it. The kids are talking about a championship,” Allen said.

Last year, while Allen con-vinced his players that they could

Seattle Impact FC – a newcomer to the 23-team Major Arena Soccer League, the indoor game’s top-tier division in North America – continues to build its roster.

The team has signed five players as it moves ahead

with tryouts set for Sept. 6 and 7 at the ShoWare Center.

An early look at the team:

Defender Jeff BaderBefore joining the

Impact, the Tacoma native played for the Ontario Fury, where his 15-game season resulted in 12 goals, six as-sists and nine blocks.

Bader played at Stadium

High School and continued his career at Evergreen State College.

Baden played for the Tacoma Stars’ semi-pro team from 2004 to 2010, and played with the profes-sional team in 2010. During his three-year pro career there, he scored 15 goals, made 11 assists and blocked 25 shots.

Francisco CisnerosCisneros is the first

defender to sign with the Impact.

Born and raised in Corvallis, Ore., Cisneros attended Crescent Valley High and Oregon State University, where he earned his degree in exercise sports science.

Cisneros has many years

of playing experience in Oregon and Washington. He recently played for the Kitsap Pumas’ indoor and outdoor teams.

be a successful team, he said that he wasn’t sure they were convinced themselves.

Allen said that his coaching staff have “defi-nitely been pushing them to their limits during the summer time.”

One of his key psy-chological motivators for the team has been telling the players to visualize a goal during strenuous workouts. Such an exercise might be running hills at French Field and getting the team to visualize its goal – whether it’s a cham-pionship game or a college recruitment – at the top of that hill.

“We do that so that when we get in the game and your body gets tired, they can look at that hill and know that this is noth-ing,” Allen said.

This year, Allen has made several structural team changes to help avoid a few costly pitfalls from the 2013 season. One of the most notable – which he learned from Pete Car-roll’s book, “Win Forever” – was the importance of playing beyond the first string and finding players who were situationally good.

“Typically in high school you get a group of starters and you ride those starters through a game,” Allen said.

Allen also is working against tying the team’s success to the quarterback, both from a strategic and psychological standpoint.

“In the past we had a su-perstar quarterback. David Jones my first year, then we’ve had Quincy the past

two years,” Allen said. “So our kids have had a ten-dency to stand around and watch the superstar. … (But) the kids are excited about the fact that they’re going to do this together (this season).”

Instead, we have a lot of talented players in different spots who believe in one another, and who understand that their strength is in their skill diversity. “If we can weather the early season storm of building depth, grade issues and injury issues, we will be a tough-out the rest of the way. The kids expect to compete for a division championship and won’t settle for less.”

He previously served as captain of the Illinois state select team and played with Rockford Rampage in the MISL.

Moving aheadThe Impact are still

receiving highlight reels and resumes for positions on the team, according to coach Jason Dunn, and will continue to fill their roster out as the preseason progresses.

Dunn is looking for talented players with a certain type of mentality.

“I want a player with the mental stature that he’s a big player. I don’t care if he’s 5-3,” Dunn said. “I’m also looking for a ‘blue collar mentality.’ ”

The team kicks off its inaugural season Nov. 8 at home against the San Diego Sockers.

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.
