Kentlake culinary team places among best in state
The culinary team from Kentlake placed second in state following the Washington ProStart Culinary competition in Spokane on March 10.
The competition entailed cooking a three course meal in one hour using no electricity or running water, Cecilia Stec, culinary arts instructor for Kentlake wrote in an email.
Kentlake’s meal consisted of a Ahi Tuna Tartare as a starter, a seared pork chop with yam puree and seasonal vegetables for the entree and a caramel panna cotta with hazelnut streusel and brown butter apples with black pepper cream for dessert.
Kentlake’s team is made up of senior Hailey Howell, senior Jacob Songras-Rosales, senior Jayson Raabe, sophomore Joshua Ashabraner and sophomore Thomas Reed.
The team’s coach and mentor chef was Kimberley Cosway, manager at Metropolitan Grill in Seattle. She is also a former culinary student from Kentlake, Stec said.
Scam warning from Sheriff’s Office
On March 13 the King County Sheriff’s Office released information on a new scam that recently surfaced.
It was reported on March 8 that a mom in the Ravensdale area had dropped her kids off at the school bus. A short time later, she received a call from a blocked number. The male caller, described as having an accent, stated he had her daughter.
The release stated he used her real name, however the last name was a little different. He told the mom if she didn’t meet him with money in exchange for his daughter, he would “kill the child,” the release stated.
The mom called the school and confirmed both her daughters were in school and safe.
Four days later, on March 12 a similar incident happened in White Center. A father received a phone call from “a younger sounding female” who pretended to be his daughter. She claimed she had been kidnapped and needed money to release her.
A male suspect then got on the phone and demanded money or he “would hurt her,” the release stated.
The father also called the school and confirmed his child was safe at school.
The Sheriff’s Office warns to keep in mind these types of calls are scams and you should never provide money over the phone.
