She's a team player who is thoughtful and forward thinking. She gets things done.

Vis- itorc enjoyed talking with Santa and listening to some of his stories of yore while enjoying a mrietyof refreshment Many "uhs and ahs" were expressed as guests e4plored the twelve different Christmas trees throughout the house, even a Camation Dairytree! One tree was unique in that it was decorated with Japanese paper cranes. Memberc of the puyallup Valley Chapterof the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL) and the White River Buddhist Temple carefully folded and hung them to s,way in the breeze. Unlike most Christmas decoration* they will not be put away for another year. These cranes willjoin 125,000 cranes making theirwayto Washington D.C. in June, ZOZA.These cranes will rcpresent the 125,000 individuals of Japanese descentwho were forced into American con- centration camps during WWl, those detained in Department of Justice prisons, and Latin American Japanese held for prisoner exchanges. Tsuru means crane and the crane is a rymbol of nonviolence and love. Some of you may recall the story of "Sadako and the Thousand Cranes." Sadako was a twetve-year-old girl and survivor of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. She folded a thousand cranes as a prayer for healing and peace. To- day the crane represents the struggle against the racial and religious profiling of immigrants, especial- ly the separation of families and indefinite detention. The crane is now a powerful symbol of hope, lifg peace and grace. lt offers something positive in a world full of negatMty. Eileen Yamada Lamphere PAGE 7 Lastyear,theCityofKentsignedontothe(K4c).This includes goals for reducing GHGs relative to 2007 levels by 25,soand g0% by 202o,2030 and 2050, respectively. These ambitious goals are consistent with the goals in the paris Climate Accord. ln December, the climate Action Plan Toolkit motion passed in King county council ! This motion directs the county to develop a Toolkit aimed at helping tocat cities put together comprehensive climate actionplans' with the toolkit, our tocal cities won't each have to each invent a climate action plan and yet each city can assemble a climate plan adjusted for its specific circumstances. The recent county budget update allocated s85,000 for the Toolkit development. As the Toolkit comes together, People for Climate Action (PCA) members will need to help cities become aware of the great resource the Toolkit can become and encourage them to think about how to contribute to i! through expertise, information-sha ring, and/ or modest fina ncia I contributions. several of us from the city of Kent have joined the King counth pcA group in support of this. our first task is to document what climate-related actions the city has already taken, or plans to take. This will be valuable information for the county in preparing a county ptan of action. we have created a spreadsheet with 10 categories of climate Actions. we are currently filling this in with information obtained from the 2015 comprehensive Plan document. we would like this to be complete by the end of January so it is available for the county consultan! who will start work in February. I sent this to Danielle Butsick to review yesterday. She spent a few minutes this AM to add some data on the current state of these actions. Danielle is obviously very busy, and before asking her for more time, we want to address this issue to the council and ask for your support. I believe it would be most expedient if we could schedule a separate meeting with interested members of the council and staff to discuss this issue in more detait. This is the start of a significant effort for the city in reducing greenhouse gases. we are willing to contribute considerable time to assist in this effort. Much of this will be educating the public on the benefits of these actions. I would appreciate your contacting me about scheduling such a meeting sometime in the next week or two if possible. The good news is that investing in ctean energy makes good economic sense. All the clean energy ideas are technologies that follow exponential cost curves. We can save the planet by making smart investment decisions now. Dan Streiffert dan streiffert@hotmail.com 253-796-2203 "l want you to panic. I want you to feelthe fear I feel every day.
