MAKING WISHES COME TRUE

Mill Creek Middle School seventh-grader Stacie Van was surprised and overjoyed to receive a large, stuff ed teddy bear during her fi rst-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 emo-tion when a fellow Mill Creek student delivered the big, brown bear to her.

“I wanted it since I was really little and fi nally 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.

Improvements to make Kent-Kangley Road safer BY STEVE HUNTER

It should be safer for pedestrians to cross Kent-Kangley Road next year un-der 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-

mated $850,000 project to add one crosswalk and upgrade other crossings between 104th Avenue Southeast and 124th Av-enue Southeast.

“Lots of people walk up and down that corridor,” said city design engineer Kelly Casteel during a presentation about the

I hope that God will help them fi nd pardon for me.”

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 prosecu-tors fi led a second-degree murder charge against Demartrae (Marty) L. Kime for the death of Malijah Grant. Th e girl was shot once in the head while

riding home from the grocery store on April 16 in a car seat in the backseat of her parents car, with her mother driving and her fa-ther in the front passenger seat. Th e baby, who lived in Kent with her parents, died two days aft er the shooting.

Detectives, aft er an eight-month investiga-tion that involved multiple local, state and federal law enforcement agencies, say eight shots were fi red at the car. One bullet struck

Liban Mohamed wasn’t sure he would get the bas-ketball he asked for.

“It was 50-50,” Mohamed said upon receiving his gift . “I prayed (for a basketball) this morning.”

Leadership students

helped organize the winter wish project, under direc-tion of their Associated Student Body adviser Kacie Solar, and delivered the gift s.

Haven Phomman-vongxay, an eighth-grade leadership student, enjoyed handing out the gift s 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.

Th ree big-ticket items were presented at the school’s winter music as-sembly.

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 aft er 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 some-thing to celebrate Hanuk-kah, 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 veterinar-ian, so Beliveau contacted McMonigle Veterinary Hospital to arrange check-ups for the boy’s pets.

“It is always a little more meaningful and a little more fulfi lling 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 fulfi lled as requested with gift s rang-ing from a favorite snack

food to sporting equipment to an encyclopedia to a skateboard.

But even if their wish couldn’t be fulfi lled, every student who made a wish received a gift .

“Even though we couldn’t given them a million dol-lars, 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 fulfi lled. Th e 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 leader-ship class.

Th e idea originated from a leadership confer-ence 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.

Th is year, additional school staff helped buy and wrap gift s. 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.

“Th e 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 fl our-ish among the staff ,” she said. “We give our all … for our kids during the day. Th is 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 com-munity event rather than just the school.”

Kent man accused of recording woman using toilet at college faces court hearing BY ROBERT WHALE

rwhale@auburn-reporter.comTh e 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, aft er 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 fi ve minutes earlier a male had been in the bathroom taking pictures. Soon aft er that report, a school security offi cer notifi ed 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 ar-rested the man.

According to the police report, Smith told detec-tives 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. Th e 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.

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

National studies show fl ashing yellow arrow signals improve inter-section effi ciency, increase safety and are more eff ective at getting drivers to yield to oncoming traffi c, according to a city of Kent media

release on Dec. 17. When there is a fl ashing yellow

arrow, drivers can turn left aft er yielding to traffi c and pedestrians in the crosswalk. Oncoming traffi c has a green light, so those who wish to turn must wait for a gap.

“We are pleased about the increased safety and additional fl exibility 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 improve-ments so we can upgrade addition-al intersections in the future.”

Th e city applied for and received a $400,000 federal grant which cov-ers the cost of the upgraded turn signals.

Underway now, with comple-tion by the end of January, fl ashing yellow arrows are being installed at the following intersections:

• 4th Avenue and Smith Street • SR 167 Northbound Ramp and

Willis Street • SR 167 Southbound Ramp and

Willis Street• 4th Avenue and James Street• Central Avenue and Pioneer

Street • 4th Avenue and Ramsay Way • 2nd Avenue and Smith Street• ShoWare Center and James

Wells Fargo of Kent recently donated a signed Russell Wilson Seahawks jersey to Children’s Th erapy Center.

Th e jersey will be auctioned at a Friends of CTC Guild-organized fundraising event at Th e Museum of Flight on June 3, with proceeds benefi ting families at the center.

“We’re excited to have the donation,” said Leslie Whitmarsh, of Children’s Th erapy Center. “It’s going to raise money for us at the auction.”

Children’s Th erapy Center is one of the largest and most comprehensive nonprofi t pediatric therapy programs in the state.

Since 1979, it has provided essential ser-vices and products for children, age birth to 18, including physical, occupational and speech therapy, early intervention services, and orthotics and equipment.

Last year, CTC served more than 3,400 children. In partnership with parents and caregivers, it celebrates where each child is today and works toward who they can become.

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.

More than 300 students from 21 schools, including the Kent School District, participated in the 27th an-nual 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 con-ference, which is sponsored by the Kent Police Department and Kent Police Youth Board.

Stacy Judd, Kent Police com-munity 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 com-ing up with ways they can apply what they learned at the confer-ence at their schools.

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

sometime in the spring,” Judd said. “We don’t want it to just be a one-day thing and it’s done.”

Students on the Kent Police Youth Board selected the topics for the conference, which this year included safe driving, social media, respect, leadership, drug and alco-hol abuse, and suicide prevention.

Nellie Escandon and Roshni Sab-haya, freshmen at Kentridge High School, got involved with the Youth Board after attending the Game of Life in previous years.

“We all kind of had a picture of what it would look like because we were all here last year so we had something to reference off

of,” Escandon said of planning this year’s conference. “We went to the meetings and everything and talked about what we thought went well last year and what we thought we could change and based it off what we want to do.”

Planning the conference was chal-lenging but rewarding, Sabhaya said.

“I think that is it really stress-ful when you are planning it but it is also fun because you get to interact with all these new people you’ve never met.”

“We put so much time and work into, like hours, and we were all here pretty much here last night (Dec. 14) setting up,”

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,” Escan-don said.

Escandon said she hopes stu-dents who attended the conference will become leaders in their schools.

“You don’t have to be the popu-lar 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 lec-ture on healthy living.

“He (the speaker) used the

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.

Students tackle tough issues at Game of Life Conference

proposal to the City Coun-cil’s Public Works Commit-tee 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. Commit-tee members quickly shot down that idea but prom-ised 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 contin-ued 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 arte-rial street repairs, such as repaving roads and not for pedestrian projects.

“I will work with you to come up with a way to fund the project,” Council-man Dennis Higgins said to Public Works Director Tim LaPorte. “I disagree with the staff recommenda-tion 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 medi-an refuge islands and flash-ing beacons. Many people illegally cross the road daily in that area, Casteel said.

Changes to existing crosswalks at five intersec-tions will include restriping, upgrades to curb ramps to meet Americans with Dis-abilities Act (ADA) stan-dards, 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 im-provements.

“There are a lot of apart-ments 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.”

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 sched-uled to be arraigned on Jan. 4 in King County Superior Court, but that date could change because of other unre-lated 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 an-nounce the arrest and charges.

Others at the press conference in-cluded King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg, King County Sheriff John Urquhart and Seattle assistant police chief Robert Merner. The investiga-tion 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 un-lawful possession of a firearm charge.He has been in custody for several months. His criminal history includes multiple assault and robbery convic-tions. 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 shoot-ing, 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 Wil-liams.

Detectives also obtained a cell-phone 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 … .”

wife’s relatives or his family who spoke at a podium to his right.

Judge Laura Middaugh sentenced Hernandez-Roa to 16 years in prison for the second-degree murder of Castillo-Yanez, 39, of Fed-eral 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 sen-tence because Hernandez-Roa 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 psy-chologist’s report about the rough upbringing Hernan-dez-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 Hernandez-Roa.

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-

lice he had learned Castillo-Yanez was cheating on him and the man she was dating had recently sent naked photos of her to him. Wash-ington, 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 din-ner,” Washington said. “She wanted nothing else to do with him and wanted him to leave her alone.”

Washington said it was “absurd” for Hernandez-Roa to blame Castillo-Yanez for her own death because of her actions with another man.

“For the defendant to say that Ruth, who was di-vorced from the defendant, and engaged in a consen-sual sexual relationship is the reason why she is dead, is actually more evidence that he is a classic domes-tic 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, an-other 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.”

Kelvin G. DumontKelvin George Dumont (Kel) passed away December 6, 2015 at his

home in Kent after a long battle with cancer. He was born on February 26, 1957 in Lewiston, Idaho and lived in many different cities around the country before moving to the Kent area in the early 90’s.

He was an avid golfer and fisherman, and a huge advocate of youth sports, including acting as a youth basketball and soccer coach for many years.

Kel had many talents and had a thousand stories to tell. He loved the outdoors, singing karaoke, and making people laugh. His two daughters were his biggest source of pride and joy and he was their biggest fan.

He was preceded in death by his parents Ora Belle and Donald, stepfather Ralph, and his brother Don. He is survived by his daughters Amanda and Samantha, siblings Debbie, Becky (Jesse), Chuck (Carol),

Francile, Selena, and Brian (Patty), and many nieces and nephews.1492742

Bridging the opportunity gap starts with paraeducators

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.

Th at is troubling. Our most vulnerable students should be taught by highly-trained

professionals. Every student should have that right. Th at’s just com-mon 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 stan-dards 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 Stan-dards Workgroup; an expert panel created by the legislature. Th is 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 strug-gling 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 fi rst 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 mag-nitude of the gap has varied throughout the years, it has been constant.

Th ere are many theories out there as to why this is and how to stop and/or prevent it. Th ere 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 diff erence of pay between men and women.

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

Th e global gender report ranks the United States at only 31st out of 128 countries for economic participation and opportunity, political empow-

erment and health for women. Th ese results may point to possible reasons as to why women aren’t getting the pay and recognition that they deserve.

Th e global gender report also reveals that the percent-age of female legislators, senior offi cials and managers fell from 46 to 42 percent from 2006 to 2007. Maybe if women

made up a greater percentage of decision-making roles, they would have pay equality.– Hannah Sharp

Needed: stricter gun control

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 hunt-ing 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.

But we need stronger, more thorough background checks

by paraeducators, not teachers. In just the com-pleted 2014-15 school year, Title 1, bilingual and special education students received over 18 million hours of instruction from paraedu-cators.

The opportunity gap facing these students is a real problem in Washing-ton state. There’s a sig-nificant gap in achievement between different racial groups, and one out of five of these students is drop-ping out. We can, and must, do better. Our students

deserve our best.It’s time to create profes-

sional standards and a training program for para-educators.

By making paraeducators true professionals, we will create a system in which teachers supervise highly trained educators. Promot-ing the use of paraeducators will also help lower class sizes by putting more adults in our classrooms. At the end of the day, our students are the ones that benefit.

School districts need ad-ditional tools and resources to bridge the opportunity gap and improve student

instruction. The cost to develop the standards, training, and career ladder will be minimal in com-parison with what the state currently spends to try and close the opportunity gap. By licensing paraeducators, we are enabling them to be the bridge between parent and community expecta-tions and student achieve-ment. By helping to bridge the opportunity gap, they are giving every student the best chance to succeed.

There are state standards not only for a teaching cer-tificate but also to drive a bus or operate a boiler. The

state should be equally con-cerned that those providing instruction meet quality standards.

If we don’t create these standards for instruction now, we will never close

the opportunity gap and lower the dropout rate. Again, your Representa-tive is critical to this issue. Tell Pat Sullivan, that it’s time to create professional standards and a training

program for paraeducators. Please support SB 5179. Our kids depend on it.

to ensure guns don’t fall into the wrong hands.

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

There have been incidents of kids in elementary school bring-ing 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.

With these rules being more in-

formed and enforced, I believe we can lower gun violence, especially mass shootings that have been occurring.– Kylie Dalton

Good man, good doctor

Ol’ Doc Ranniger was my general practitioner for over 20 years until he retired. He was as pragmatic physician as there ever was. Common sense ruled his bedside manner.

One time, as I complained of indigestion in the morning after coffee, he simply said, “Well, eat some food before your first cup.” No superfluous tests, no prescrip-tions, just some good advice, and

it still works 10 years later.I wasn’t sure who could replace

him as he had such an authentic presence when he sat in the room with me. I think it was why so many of us were with him until he retired. He was likeable and trust-worthy. May he rest in peace.– R.A. Partney

Why is Trump winning?

Media pundits are almost pulling their hair out to find the appeal of Donald Trump. Many different proposals have been made so far.

For some, it is a sign of back-lash against political correctness of the society, and many others

believe that it is coming from the frustration among voters about the political system. I personally find only one reason why people support him. Here is the secret: many people actually like his proposals.

Banning Muslims from enter-ing 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.

When Donald Trump says that vaccine causes autism, people in the medical community laughed it off, but 6 percent of Americans agree with Donald Trump while the

52 percent are unsure whether vac-cines are related to autism or not.

The Washington pundits may scratch their heads about the process of deporting tens of millions people, but 28 percent of Americans actually see it as a viable solution.

Simply put, the media is overes-timating the knowledge of average voters. According to one Annen-berg Public Policy Center survey, only 36 percent of the people can name the three branches of the U.S. government while 35 percent cannot even name a single one.

When so many people are liv-ing without any knowledge about the government, is it really hard to imagine someone like Trump winning the election?– Tawhid Ahmed

NetIG received the Kent Green Business of the Year award for 2015 at the Dec. 8 City Council meeting.

Mayor Suzette Cooke presented the prestigious award to NetIG with high praise for their efforts to operate with environment in forefront.

“We’re proud of NetIG and their commitment to pro-tect and preserve our natural resources,” Cooke said.

NetIG designs and manufactures communication cabling harnesses, copper and optical fiber patch chords and server cabinets and racks. The company also dis-tributes communications cable, connectivity products and supporting infrastructure for data centers and the structured cabling marketplace.

According to city conservation specialist Gina Hungerford, the company’s employee Green Team has implemented an aggressive environmental policy over the last three years.

“With cutting-edge recycling strategies, the company recycles 80 percent of the waste they produce,” Hunger-ford said.

To reduce energy use, the company has installed a charging station for electric vehicles.

The city has awarded the Green Business of the Year since 2000. Previous recipients include Vectra Fitness, Hexcel Corporation, Torklift Central, Applus Technolo-gies, Boeing, REI, Worldwide Distributors, Emerald City Graphics, Staples Store #1357, Mikron Industries and Panasonic Services.

LET’S PLAY! - Roadie is a 10 year old, 70 pound pit bull mix currently living in Snoqualmie. Roadie is a f r iend ly guy who w o u l d l o ve a n ew home where his family can spend more time with him. Roadie has not l ived wi th other dogs but is usually so-cial when he meets them. He enjoys chil-dren but hasn’t been around cats so a cat-free home is probably best. He is neutered, house broken, loves w a l k s , i s i n g o o d health, and is up-to-date on all his shots. He’s a dog with lots of energy to play and a ta i l that won’ t s top wagging. This friendly g u y wo u l d l ove t o meet you!

Aft er 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, binet-tigarden.com, and down-load this Christmas poem for newsletters or other use with my copyright permis-sion.

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

Th e 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 gift s were under the tree.

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

You can forget the silk tie, the fl uff y new sweater, give something to make the

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,

Th e rest of the year it's a gardening high.

Elves plant in the spring, pull weeds merrily all sum-mer, in fall they all harvest, but winter's a bummer

And so Christmas gives Santa a part-time employ-ment, 'Till spring when the blooms are his real life

enjoyment.So ask the big guy for

garden gift s this year,Seeds, plants and tools,

Santa holds them all dear.You see malls may be

crowded, vendors hawking their ware, but visit a nurs-ery, stress-free shopping is there.

Now Santa's fl own off , to the nursery he goes, and his voice fi lls the night with loud Hoe! Hoe! Hoes!
