Kent Reporter, October 02, 2015

City property taxes could take another jump next year under Mayor Suzette Cooke’s proposed

budget.Cooke scolded the City Council

during her mid-biennium budget presentation on Tuesday night for turning down her plan last fall to

raise the business and occupation (B&O) tax and start a vehicle li-cense tab fee of $20 per year. Cooke said Council President Dana Ralph told her those revenue options were

off the table, so the mayor decided to go with a property tax hike.

“I turned to the one revenue source you tapped last year, our banked property tax capacity,”

Cooke said of her eff orts to bal-ance the budget with expenditures and revenue of about $87 million in 2016.

Th e property tax jump would generate about $863,000 per year and cost the owner of a $300,000 home about $20 more per year.

While there may not be a fairy godmother to turn a pumpkin into a carriage, the Cinderella Project helps make homecoming memorable for high school students in Kent.

Each homecoming and prom season, the Kent Area Council PTA-run program brings its collection of more than 1,000 dresses – varying in color, size and style – to the district’s high schools for girls to borrow at no cost.

All that’s needed to borrow one is a student ID card and a form signed by a parent. Th e program, which has been around for about 10 years, is open to all students regardless of income.

When Amy Bickleman took

over as chair for the project in 2012, students had to pick out the dresses at Kent Phoenix Academy, where they are stored. Bickleman wanted to make the process more conve-nient for students, so she got rolling garment racks to hang the dresses, and started bring-ing them to each of the schools before the dances.

“We wanted to make it easy for the kids to borrow the dress without having to go some-where,” she said.

Girls return the dresses to their school the Monday aft er the dance.

When Bickleman started with the project, there were about 200 dresses. Commu-nity members and students have donated previously worn dresses to the project.

“I haven’t bought a single dress,” Bickleman said.

On Monday and Tuesday, racks of dresses fi lled Ken-tridge’s orchestra room.

Performing on a big stage in front of many people is as natu-ral as breathing to Siahna Im.

“I just love to make people smile. I was just having the time of my life,” said the 15-year-old

Auburn girl, a Kentlake High School student, who recently survived the fi rst round of blind auditions on NBC’s “Th e Voice”.

Advancing to the battle rounds of the hit television show, Im secured a spot on Team Pharrell Williams. Episodes air

at 8 p.m. Mondays and Tuesdays on KING-5.

Singing the classic tune, “Fe-ver,” rendered famously by Peggy Lee in 1959, Im pulled off the unexpected, wowing the judges.

Circus to take hiatus from Kent shows BY STEVE HUNTER

[email protected]

Don’t expect to see the circus back for at least a couple of years or more to Kent’s ShoWare Center or anywhere else in the Pacifi c Northwest.

Feld Entertainment, Inc., the parent company of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circuses, will soon close down the touring unit that appeared last weekend at the ShoWare Center and Oct. 1-4 at the Xfi nity Arena in Everett.

“We’re being told they are tak-ing the gold (touring) unit off the road,” said Tim Higgins, ShoWare general manager, during a phone interview last Friday.

Th e circus has appeared every year at the ShoWare Center since it opened in 2009. Th e fi rst year Ringling Bros. brought their larg-est unit, known as the three-ring circus, to Kent. Th at unit travels by train and the stop included a

A total lunar eclipse combined with a supermoon was visible in the skies above Kent Sunday evening. A supermoon occurs when a full or new moon makes its closest approach to Earth, causing the moon to look bigger and brighter than usual. A supermoon combined with a total lunar eclipse, is a rare occurrence. The last one was in 1982, and another won’t happen again until 2033. The next lunar eclipse will be in 2018.

Rock the Green Saturday at Green River CollegeBY HEIDI SANDERS

[email protected]

Th e community is invited to Rock the Green this Sat-urday on Green River Col-lege’s main campus, 12401 SE 320th St., Auburn.

Th e college and the Green River Coalition co-host the event, which is geared toward promoting conservation awareness, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Th e Green River Coali-tion has hosted the event on a smaller scale in past years, primarily as a fund-raiser. As the organization has received additional

grant funding, the event has become more focused on education.

Th e coalition approached the college about partnering to host the event this year, said Heather McCurdy, the college’s director of confer-ence services.

“Th at fi t well with our mission to the educate the public,” McCurdy said.

Th e event takes the place of Gator Fest, which the col-lege hosted in 2013.

“We really wanted to put it a little more in direct alignment with the college mission, not just a fun event but also the edu-

cational opportunities,” McCurdy said.

Th e event is also a part of Green River College’s 50th anniversary celebra-tion. Th ere will be booths promoting the anniversary, as well as various programs off ered at the college.

Fift y metal trees made in the college’s welding pro-gram will be displayed.

Highlights of the event include musical perfor-mances, children’s activities, including infl atable toys, and a beer garden.

“Green River Coalition is running the beer garden,” McCurdy said. “Th at goes to their nonprofi t work to restore the river.”

About 60 vendors, rang-

ing from nonprofi t organi-zations to local artists, will promote their causes and sell their wares.

Musical acts include: Community players, 10 a.m.; Jim Page, 11 a.m.; Dana Lyons, noon; Tim Noah,1 p.m.; Chuck Buser, 2 p.m.; Howling Rain & Friends, 3 p.m.

Th e event wraps up at about 5 p.m. with the give-away of 100 approximately four-foot trees that will be used to decorate.

McCurdy said the college hopes make Rock the Green an annual event.

“I think that is every-body’s intention at this point assuming all goes well,” she said.

Crews tow an 18-20 foot fi berglass boat from the east side of Lake Fenwick in Kent to the boat launch area on the west side where a tow truck removed it. The boat was investigated at noon Tuesday after a passerby noticed it overturned and called 911, according to a Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority media release. Divers and water rescue fi refi ghters from several south King County departments, including Kent, responded to the scene and determined that the boat was unoccupied and appeared abandoned. Divers also searched the bottom of the small lake under the boat. At this point it is not clear why the boat was overturned and abandoned. There was no boat registration on the hull. Lake Fenwick is 17 acres in surface area and is on the West Hill of Kent. COURTESY PHOTO, Kent Fire Department RFA

Abandon boat

Cameras to catch speeders at two more schoolsKent Police will send traffi c

citations to the owners of vehicles caught speeding through the photo-enforced school zones at Meridian and Millennium elemen-tary schools.

Th e registered owners of the of-fending vehicles will receive a $124 ticket when the speed violation is 1 to 9 miles per hour over the 20 mph school zone speed limit. If the violation speed exceeds 10 mph or more, the penalty is $248. Police only issued warnings during the fi rst month of the program but

started issuing citations on Oct. 1.“Drivers need to be vigilant of

their speed in school zones because children can dart into traffi c and surprise a motorist at any moment,” said Kent Police Chief Ken Th omas. “Police will use the speed cameras as an enforcement tool to estab-lish and maintain a safe environ-ment for kids walking to and from school.”

Meridian is at 25621 140th Ave. SE and Millennium at 11919 SE 270th St.

Indicating the size of the prob-lem, 236 warning notices were

issued between Sept. 1-24 at the two schools.

“Th e number of warnings issued demonstrates the daily threat chil-dren face from motorists speeding in school zones,” Th omas said. “Th e cameras are in place to keep kids safe. Th e 20 mph speed limit has not changed. To avoid a ticket, driv-ers simply need to slow down and obey the law.”

City offi cials in 2014 set up traffi c cameras to catch speeders at Neely-O’Brien Elementary and Sunrise El-ementary. A total of 12,578 tickets were fi led with Kent Municipal

Court during the fi rst 19 months of the program from January 2014 through July 2015, according to court statistics.

Th e program has brought in more than $1 million to the city from the cameras at just two schools. Kent Police will spend $845,000 of school zone traffi c camera funds on city jail renova-tions, police overtime costs, a use of force training simulator and traffi c safety equipment.

Th e cameras operate during school hours when the school zone beacons are fl ashing.

SHERIFF’S OFFICE WARNS ABOUT JURY

DUTY SCAM CALLSPhone callers trying to get

people to pay money for

missed jury duty or owing back

taxes are a scam.

The King County Sheriff ’s Offi ce

sent out a media release on

Tuesday that it does not solicit

for funds over the phone under

any circumstances.

If someone contacts you and

tells you there is a warrant

out for your arrest because

you missed jury duty or that

you owe back taxes, this is

a scam. Discontinue the call

immediately.

The caller says that they are

from the King County Sheriff ’s

Offi ce, or from the courts

of King County, stating that

because you missed jury duty

there is a warrant for your

arrest. They will tell you to

pay hundreds of dollars to

avoid being arrested. They

use high pressure tactics to

get you panicked and are very

professional sounding.

The Sheriff ’s Offi ce or the

courts will never call you for

money on a warrant or tell you

they are coming to arrest you.

“I wasn’t really nervous, I was more excited,” Im said of her performance at Universal Studios in Hollywood, Calif. “I just tried to embody the sound and not think about things around me.”

Im, who has been singing, as she likes to say, “since I was in the womb,” only recently started to perform pub-licly. She took up voice lessons only

two years ago, and began doing gigs around Seattle.

The teen saw an online promo-tion and decided to audition for “The Voice.” Her parents – Hong, who is of Korean descent, and Nanette, who is French Canadian – gave her their blessing.

Im hopes “The Voice” can open doors to a career as a soul singer.

“I just have to do the best that I can,” she said.

Im also is enjoying the opportunity to work with Williams.

“He is a very amazing person, and so humble for a person who has accomplished as much as he has,” she said. “I call him my Zen master because he’s always so calm.”

As is Im, a teen who is enjoying the moment.

“It’s been the most amazing experi-ence any girl could ever ask for,” she said.

parade of animals from the train parked in Renton to the ShoWare Center.

Every year since the Kent stop has included the gold unit that fea-tures a smaller circus, but still includes such acts as daredevil motorcycle stunts inside the Globe of Steel, heart-pounding tricks on the Dual Wheel of Steel; edge-of-your-seat mo-torcycle high wire action,

powerful hand-balancing duo, fun-filled performing pups, fast-paced eques-trian acrobatic riders on six beautiful stallions and the world-renowned Asian elephants.

“It’s a good show for us and the community,” Higgins said. “Any loss has some impact but it will not be significant.”

Higgins said with the advance notice, he and his staff will search elsewhere to fill the dates left open

without the annual circus tour.

“Now we have that time frame and will look for something else for that spot,” he said.

Stephen Payne, a Feld Entertainment spokesman, said he expects the circus to return to the Pacific Northwest in the future, but wasn’t sure when.

“Right now we don’t have any future dates,” Payne said during a phone inter-view. “But it’s an important market for all of our shows. My counsel is don’t be sur-prised to see the Ringling Bros. coming back.”

When, however, remains to be determined as the cir-cus enters its 146th edition in 2016.

“It’s too early to tell,” Payne said about any Pacific Northwest or Kent dates.

Julie Furlong, who serves as a Seattle area media con-sultant for Feld to promote the circus, said during a phone interview there are no plans for the circus to return to the Pacific North-west.

“The unit will end in October,” she said.

Furlong said she was told it’s a part of doing business and that Feld will focus on growth in its other shows. The company produces other shows, including Monster Jam, Monster Energy Supercross, Nuclear

Cowboyz, AMSOIL Ar-enacross, Disney On Ice , Disney Live! and Marvel Universe LIVE!.

Ringling Bros. will still have the large circus units, known as red and blue. Fur-long said the larger units travel by train while the gold unit, which is in Kent this weekend, travels by truck and trailers.

“We haven’t known this for long that they are going to close down the unit,” Furlong said. “It does not mean that other units won’t come here but that’s not on the schedule at this point.”

That end of the tour also means it’s probably the last time performing elephants will come to Kent. Feld an-nounced earlier this year that elephants are being phased

out of the circus by 2018.The elimination of

elephants from the circus came as good news to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). The group protested the use of elephants in the circus for more than 35 years with claims of abuse of the animals. Protest-ers showed up with signs last weekend outside the ShoWare Center against using elephants in the circus, a march they have done each year in Kent.

Payne said the lack of elephants in the circus isn’t the reason for end-ing the gold unit. Many other circus acts still draw crowds. He also said crowd numbers remained strong in the Pacific Northwest even with the circus coming

to town each year for the last several years.

But Payne added routing tours for the two larger units to the Pacific North-west becomes more of a challenge because of the travel by train.

The company doesn’t travel into Canada, so booking enough stops becomes a challenge as does figuring out where to park the large circus train for several days during an arena show.

“As we move forward with future shows, the Pa-cific Northwest is always a great market,” he said. “We need to look at logistics but it’s a positive market. I would not be surprised if we bring a larger unit there.”

Marie Alice Nesteroff Marie was born on September 5, 1918,

in Butte, Montana. Her parents were John and Eugenia Dubie. Her only sibling was a sister, Dorothea, who was nine years older. Marie and her family moved to Rochester, New York, where Marie graduated from Monroe High School in 1937. Marie worked as a medical secretary at the Genesee Hospital School of Nursing and later with a Rochester orthopedic surgeon.

Marie married Robert Nesteroff , of Rochester, N.Y., on September 20, 1941. After Robert joined the Army in 1944 and during his 26-year career in the military, Marie accompanied him to postings in the U.S. and Japan.

Early on Marie set a pattern for lifelong volunteer activities with involvement as a Girl Scout leader and with St. Joseph’s Home, an orphanage in Tokyo, Japan run by the Sisters of Sacred Heart, who were from her family’s native Quebec. When her two children were in high school, Marie returned to work as a medical secretary in the Radiology Department at Western Clinic in Tacoma. She continued her volunteer work with the American Business Women’s Association, Kla-How-Ya chapter; the Lakewood Library; and later for the Pediatric Interim Care Center in Kent, WA, and the Kent Senior Center.

Marie was a consummate crafter – among her vast output were many knitted baby blankets and sweaters, she regularly sold her hand-made items at craft and holiday bazaars, and she organized, made and distributed holiday gift bags for the residents at Harrison House in Kent. Marie always exemplifi ed her strong Catholic faith.

Her family requests any memorial gifts be made in Marie’s name to the Evergreen Health Foundation - Hospice, 12040 NE 128th St, MS 5, Kirkland, WA, 98034-3013. Arrangements by Mountain View Funeral Home. Remembrances may be shared at

Man punches dog while at Kent bus stopBY STEVE HUNTER

shunter@kentreporter

Kent Police cited a man for investigation of second-degree animal cruelty aft er he allegedly punched a small dog he owns nu-merous times while at a bus stop on the West Hill.

Offi cers responded at about 8:23 p.m. on Sept. 21 to the bus stop at South 260th Street and Pacifi c Highway South aft er a 911 call, according to the police report.

An offi cer located the man sitting at the bus stop with the dog next to him trembling with its tail between its legs. Th e man told police he owned the dog so he could hit it if he wanted.

A witness told police the man used his fi sts to punch the dog 10 to 12 times. At one point, the man picked the dog up by its neck off the ground, put the dog on his lap and punched it some more.

Police cited and released the

man. An offi cer took the dog to the Regional Animal Services of King County shelter in Kent for care and treatment.

Woman chases woman with stake

Offi cers arrested a woman for investigation of fourth-degree

assault and carrying a weapon capable of bodily harm aft er she reportedly chased another woman with a wooden stake and swung it

at her.Th e incident started at

about 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 18 when a woman got off a bus in the 1700 block of Central Avenue South, according to the police report.

Before she got off the bus, the driver told her that a woman standing outside the bus was known to be mentally unstable. Th e woman got off the bus and then watched as the other woman tried to board the bus. But the driver closed the door

and pulled away.Th at apparently upset the

woman, who grabbed a wooden stake, about 18 to 24 inches long, left behind by construction work-ers. She initially tried to strike the bus but it already had pulled away. She then started to chase the nearby woman. She swung the stake at the woman and told her she was going to kill her.

A third woman in the area told the woman being chased to go into a nearby restaurant for safety. Th at worked as the woman with the stake stopped her pursuit, broke the stake over her leg and began to walk northbound along Central Avenue South.

Police found the woman walk-ing in the 1200 block of Central Avenue South. An offi cer said the woman appeared to be under the infl uence of drugs or alcohol as she talked about President Obama and other unrelated topics. She also slurred her words.

Man breaks house window; hides from police

Police arrested a man for inves-tigation of third-degree malicious mischief and obstructing an offi cer aft er he allegedly broke a window at a home in the 12000 block of Southeast 212th Place and later hid under a vehicle in the home’s garage before offi cers found him.

A 911 call from a man at about 12:46 a.m. on Sept. 21 reported that his roommate was downstairs yelling at himself and making comments about killing someone, according to the police report.

Th e roommate reportedly got intoxicated while watching the Seahawks game on television and started to get belligerent with the man and his family who live upstairs at the house.

Th e man fl ed the house but returned an hour or so later when he broke out the window of a slid-ing glass door to enter. Th e family

locked themselves upstairs.When police arrived, they

ordered the man out of the house. Offi cers used a police dog to fi nd the man hiding under a vehicle in the garage. Th e man claimed he passed out under the vehicle. He denied breaking the window and said he didn’t hear police com-mands to come out from under the vehicle.

Offi cers catch three men with drug paraphernalia

Offi cers cited three men for in-vestigation of possession of drug paraphernalia aft er reportedly fi nding the three with needles and syringes near a Dumpster at about 1:02 a.m. on Sept. 20 at the Kang-ley Square Apartments, 10612 S.E. Kent Kangley Road.

Offi cers noted that the apart-ment complex had a surge in calls over the last few weeks because of transients using a Dumpster area as a bathroom and to ingest drugs, according to the police report.

Police took one of the men into custody because he had a warrant for failing to appear in court for a possession of drug paraphernalia charge.

Kent Police received a $45,796 federal grant to start up a Teen Police Acad-emy next year.

Th e U.S. Justice De-partment on Sept. 22 awarded more than $1 million in grants to local police agencies in Western Washington to support offi cer safety, community policing programs and important technology improvements.

“Th e plan is to imple-ment a teen police academy, similar to how we run our community police academy but obviously youth would be our target audience,” said Sara Wood, Kent Police research and development analyst who handles grant requests, in an email. “Th e plan is to cover all facets of law enforcement and off er it next summer.”

Kent’s Community Po-lice Academy is delivered in a series of classes that

off er straightforward, can-did information regard-ing daily and specialized operations of the police department, while defi n-ing the agency’s role in the city. Th ose classes are only open to people ages 18 and older.

Th e grants to more than two dozen police agencies in Western Washington support their work towards ‘best practices’ in com-munity policing,” said U.S. Attorney Annette L. Hayes in a media release. “To be

awarded these grants each agency successfully showed how the funding will im-prove offi cer safety and the safety of the community.

In addition, the funding to regional drug and gang task forces will ensure continued strong partnerships.”

Men get breast cancer, too

I read your article, “Kent fi refi ghters help promote cancer awareness month”, Sept. 25, Kent Reporter), with great interest. But I don’t recall seeing any stats on male breast cancer.

I was diagnosed with stage 3a breast cancer at age 49 three years ago. I had a mammo-gram, ultrasound, biopsy and a BRCA genetic testing. Th at was followed by a mastectomy, six rounds of aggressive chemo-therapy, which was followed by 25 daily doses of radiation.

So far, there is no further evidence of disease. Amen.

And I take every opportuni-ty to reach out in cases like this to educate and try to get the message out. Men get breast cancer, too.

You can help now and in the future to help educate men. Th ey need to be doing

self-exams and talking to their doctors about their risk factors and family histories.

Doctors aren’t doing enough in this area. Men need to be proactive about their health, and that includes breast and prostate health. – Bob DeVito

My vote goes to Troutner

As I get ready to vote next month, I am reminded of the importance of selecting the right candidate for this job, therefore I am supporting and voting for Toni Troutner for Kent City Council Position 6.

I have known Toni for 15 years. Toni is a true friend and has always been there when I have needed assistance.

I remember several years ago when the snowstorm hit and she drove us to the airport on icy roads.

Toni is always doing what-ever it takes to help those in need and ensuring success in whatever she does.

Toni has volunteered on many community committees and served as a PTA president. She has the experience, organi-zation, consensus building and

I was on a Mediterra-nean cruise when President Lyndon Johnson announced our new position on Vietnam, from advisers to fi ghters.

He asked for volunteers, and being young and freshly trained, two from our unit answered the call.

We were told that we would have

a life expectancy of 3½ minutes aft er touching the landing zone. Of course, as Navy pho-tographers, we would carry only a sidearm and shoot a camera. Th at did not dissuade us for one second, as

we did a quick turnaround from the beautiful beaches of Cannes,

France to the green, green rice pat-ties of Vietnam.

John Wayne would have been proud.

Th at’s the type of scenario that thousands of young Americans lived in that era – before and aft er Vietnam – and through today’s generation of those serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Th e problem is the left overs, the

ones who still hurt. Th ose coming home with parts missing, physically and emotionally. Th ose we have heard about.

It’s not prime-time news any-more. But it remains vivid, painful and real for those Americans who wake up every morning with wounds. We try to remember, but it’s hard unless we were those who actually paid the price.

I’m always been proud of Kent, but never prouder when I was asked to help our residents improve

The other side of Shakespeare

How does one introduce Shakespeare to teenagers? As soon as you mention the name of the famous playwright in a classroom, most students react in a Pavlovian fashion and tune out the lesson. I know, because I was one of them. Ever since reading Hamlet in the seventh grade, I never thought I’d re-ally understand, let alone like, Shakespeare’s plays.

But then I went to the Oregon Shake-speare Festival, and, suddenly, all I thought I knew about the 400-year-old dead white dude fl ew out the proverbial window.

My girlfriend, a major fan of the Bard, helped this miracle in no small part, and I’m

sure she would attest to my recalcitrant attitude toward anything related to Shakespeare if asked.

So when her history lessons failed, when all the cajoling and fl atter-ing and the encourage-ment that I would like

his plays if I would just give them a chance fell on deaf ears, she turned to me one day and said, “Did you know Shakespeare wrote one of the oldest ‘your mom’ jokes?”

To give you a frame of reference for how quickly and intently I started paying atten-tion, do you remember the fi rst time you heard your teacher swear in class? It was exactly like that.

And she wasn’t giving me click-bait either. Shakespeare really did write a “your mom” joke into “Titus Andronicus,” act 4, scene 2.

Chiron: “Th ou hast undone our mother.”/Aaron: “Villain, I have done thy mother.”

I won’t get into the specifi cs of the story, but yes, what you just read was Shakespeare making a punny joke about Chiron’s mother – not bad for a 400-year-old dead white dude.

Th is isn’t an isolated occurrence, either. All of Shakespeare’s plays, and even some of his sonnets, contain jokes, puns and veiled references to sex. We just don’t notice be-cause we assume Shakespeare is all posh

and plot instead of inap-propriate and occasionally obscene (thanks for nothing, Laurence Olivier).

So I’m passing on the same wise words my girlfriend said to me that finally got me in-terested in Shakespeare. If you think Shakespeare is tedious, monotonous and one corner short of a pentagon, or you just need to be pointed in the right direction to find some-thing you can get interested in, these words are for you; “Shakespeare is full of sex.”

So why did Shakespeare weave all of these after-hour references into his classical works? Because he wasn’t just writing for the nobles and upper class who enjoyed plot and drama – he also wrote for the peasants and the uneducated working class, who enjoyed putting up their feet (metaphorically, because they all had to stand to see his plays) and have a good time laughing at inappropriate jokes. Shakespeare’s humor, decent or crass, is one of the many reasons people in 16th century England were able to emotionally connect to his plays.

But Shakespeare didn’t just put sex jokes into his plays to make them enter-taining for the unwashed masses – occasionally, he’d write them just for himself (or some other lucky per-son), like in Sonnet 151.

“Love is too young to know what conscience is;/Yet who knows not, conscience is born of love?/Then, gentle cheater, urge not my amiss,/Lest guilty of my faults thy sweet self prove./For thou betraying me, I do betray/My nobler part to my gross body’s trea-son;/My soul doth tell my body that he may/Triumph in love; flesh stays no farther reason,/But rising at thy name, doth point out thee/As his triumphant prize. Proud of this pride,/He is contented thy poor drudge to be,/To stand in thy affairs, fall by thy side./No want of conscience hold it that I call/Her ‘love,’ for whose dear love I rise and fall.”

I might have actually paid more than the mini-mum amount of attention necessary during my English Shakespeare lessons if I knew half the stuff he wrote could be considered literary

pornography. So to all the high-school-

ers reading this, you are now well armed to tackle what you thought was going to be another semester of dol-drums reading Shakespeare (think about all the fun you could have writing final papers now).

The same goes for you teachers and professors out there – there’s absolutely no reason to be boring while covering Shakespeare. His works have survived for 400 years for many reasons; his stories can have us rolling on the floor laughing or bawling in our seats, and his sonnets have practi-cally become the definition of romance and love (yes, even the one you just read). But the main reason his work is still widely studied and taught, in my humble opinion, is because they’re relatable, no matter who you are or what time period you’ve been born in.

That, and sex jokes will never, ever get old.

Veterans Drive up to Mili-tary Road. The street was set aside a couple of years ago for the city to honor those who served to keep us free and safe.

The city wants to make Veterans Drive longer with American flags flying and places for veterans and their families and friends to sit and remember. It may even include a couple of picnic tables, so that our kids could learn over lunch about those who gave ev-erything for their freedom.

The city asked me to start a Kent Veterans Association that would bring out those who served. It’s an opportu-nity for veterans to be more visible in our city – the foundation and strength that they are.

Kent does not want our city to become complacent with the memories of the fallen. An appreciative Kent wants to honor our neigh-bors, our police officers, our firefighters, people we work next to every day, the home-less on our streets, those who served and offered their lives for our freedom.

We need your ideas, we need your help, we need you, the veteran. We need families of veterans to bring proud memories and pride of service together.

We have been offered a place to meet and have coffee, to kick around some ideas and share old sea stories. We want to begin a drive to keep remembering those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, our veterans.

Kent has saved about $6 million in banked capac-ity because the city reduced its property tax levy by $1 per $1,000 assessed valuation in 2011 after voters in 2010 approved the formation of the Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority (RFA). The RFA levies a property tax of $1 per $1,000 assessed valuation.

“It still leaves about $5 mil-lion in the bank, an amount I consider a bare minimum as

we face future fiscal realities,” said Cooke, who added the city will lose its Panther Lake annexation sales tax credit of about $4 million per year in 2021 and could lose other

state-shared revenue as the Legislature figures out how to put more funds toward K-12 education.

The mayor proposed the property tax jump to cover the remaining deficit in the 2015-16 budget. The city started the year with a deficit of $2.1 million. But

tax revenues are coming in about $450,000 above estimates, cost of living adjustments (COLA) came in nearly $375,000 under budget and a public works engineering allocation budget correction saved $339,000.

The council will spend the

next couple of months discuss-ing Cooke’s budget proposal and deciding whether to go with her plan or come up with its own. A public hearing abut the budget is set for the Oct. 20 council meeting at 7 p.m. at City Hall. The council is expected to approve the budget adjustment on Dec. 8.

The council began to debate the budget after Cooke’s pre-sentation.

“I like to keep things simple in my simple mind,” Councilman Bill Boyce said as he directed a question at City Finance Director Aaron BeMiller. “I’m always think-ing about the taxpayer, so my neighbor who will say ‘you’re raising taxes again.’ Would it be a safe statement for me to say the only impact to you is $20,

assuming your house is worth $300,000, that’s the only impact to the taxpayer in the city of Kent, is that a true statement?”

BeMiller replied the budget proposal only includes the property tax increase. He said how much someone spends on goods (and pays sales tax) also could determine whether they pay more in taxes 2016 or not.

In addition to raising prop-erty taxes last year through banked capacity that will bring in about $1 million extra this year and in 2016, the council increased the solid waste (gar-bage) tax rate to 18.3 percent from 7.8 percent on each bill. That increase brings in about $3 million per year for street maintenance in neighbor-hoods.-

Thank you, RotaryWe would like to thank, once again, the

Rotary Club of Kent that meets at noon for helping us prepare for our annual book sale at the Kent Regional Library.

This is a wonderful organization, pro-viding vital and community service for those needing it.

Without their help it would be very difficult for us to assemble the shelves we use to display the books for sale. It is a service that benefits not only our organi-zation, but the whole community.

We truly appreciate them and are grate-ful.– Rose Ann King, Kent Friends of the Library

Girls spent their lunch period and time after school combing through the dresses to find the perfect one. Par-ent volunteers helped them select their gown.

Freshman Harnoor Dhil-lon heard about the program during school announce-ments and decided to shop for a homecoming gown from the Cinderella Project.

“I don’t want to keep buying new dresses every year,” said Dhillon, who tried on dresses before selecting a full-length, black gown with white trim.

Sophomore Sierra Strege bought a dress for last year’s dance but wanted to check out the selection available through the Cinderella Project.

“I didn’t want to become broke again,” Strege said. “It is nice to see what they have.”

It is rewarding to see a girl find a dress that makes her feel beautiful and confi-dent, Bickleman said.

“I have girls come in who have said they have never worn a dress in their life,” she said. “I have had par-

ents come back and say, ‘My daughter is different since she wore this.’ It is about making girls feel really good about themselves.”’

Last week the dresses were at Kentwood High School and they will make their way to Kentlake on Oct. 5-6 and Kent-Meridian on Oct. 12-13.

Bickleman has work parties several times a year to organize and inventory the stock of dresses. She re-cruits students to help and lets the girls try on dresses while they sort through them, pulling dresses they think are out of style. Dresses that are discarded still get put to good use, Bickleman said.

“Some of them no one is ever going to wear, but we keep it in the school by donating to the drama programs,” she said.

Bickleman has lent dresses to high school fash-ion clubs for shows, and in 2014 the Kentridge choir borrowed gowns for an Oscar-themed concert.

“As long as we keep it in the school district and it is for a school event, we are willing to loan the dresses,”

she said.Bickleman gets calls from

students in other school districts asking to borrow dresses. She can’t lend them out of the district, but she has helped neighboring districts, like Tahoma, set up their own Cinderella project.

To get involved with Cin-derella Project or to donate a dress, email Bickleman at [email protected].

Th e Kent East Hill Boxing Club helped serve homeless women and children of the KentHOPE Day Center as city and community leaders toured the facility during an open house and barbecue on Sept. 24.

Th e club does service projects throughout the community during the year, according to its director, Leslie Hamada.

Th e KentHOPE Women and Children’s Day Center continues to make an impact

since opening on Dec. 16, 2013. It now hosts an average of 30 women and children each day and provides imme-diate needs: three substantial meals a day, showers, laundry facilities, computer access and resources for housing and jobs.

Community partners such as Catholic Commu-nity Services, Sound Mental Health, HealthPoint, Valley Cities, Sober Solutions and Seattle’s Union Gospel Mis-sion are helping guests as they move out of homeless-ness. In its fi rst 19 months

of operation, the day center has helped 198 women and children fi nd housing and 85 women fi nd jobs.

Day Center staff provides ongoing case management while encouraging and assisting guests to regain stability and obtain employ-ment and housing. Demo-graphic statistics show that more than 80 percent of the women the Day Center served are from South King County; and 50 percent have experienced domestic violence.

Th e beginning of October is a great time to plant spring fl ower-ing bulbs. Our cool winters and dry summers are what many bulbs need to bloom happily.

Purchase bulbs as soon as you see them for sale at local garden centers or nurser-ies and if you cannot plant them right away, store them in a cool, dry spot where you will not forget about them. Finding a forgotten bag of unplanted tulip bulbs is almost a spring tradition for some gardeners.

Your bulbs really do need to go into the ground before January for the best spring display. Planting bulbs in October will give them the time they need to develop roots before winter arrives.

Q. Where can I buy a large amount of tulip bulbs at a wholesale price? I want to surprise my wife by planting several hundred red and white tulips in a newly vacant garden bed. She will be gone for a weekend and so that is when I plan to do the bulb planting in secret. I hope to surprise her this May with hundreds of tulips in bloom for a milestone anniver-sary. J.K. Tacoma

A. Romance in bloom is on the way. Th ere is a company that has been selling spring bulbs in 100 lot color groupings for more than 50 years. Th ey do require a $60 minimum order but they have taken

the guess work out of mixed bulb displays by testing combinations together for perfect timing and color blends. Th e company is called “ColorBlends” and you can contact them at colorblends.com or phone 888-847-8637

and ask for a catalog. I found a red and white combo of tulips for you called “White Hot” and you can or-der 200 tulip bulbs in a 50/50 blend of colors. Th ey also off er blends of daff odils and muscari, hyacinths and even amaryllis for indoor blooms. It is the classic tulip blends that made this company a favorite of public and private show gardens. Order early for best supply.

Q. Can you help me fi gure out what type of bulb to plant? I was visiting a now gone neighbor and impressed that she had these very tall and impressive fl owers in bloom despite the deer population in our neighborhood. I cannot remember

the name but I do remember the were taller than tulips and the fl ow-ers hung upside down. I believe they were e orange in color. Any ideas? R.T., Olympia

A. Sounds like the majestic crown imperials a frittalaria that is very popular in Europe and needs to be planted more oft en especially in areas where deer and rodents damage tulips and other spring bulbs. Th e bulbs are large and need a sunny site with good drainage. Local nurseries and garden center have been selling them in the fall next to their display of other bulbs. Plant a generous grouping of six to 12 crown imperial frillalarias this fall and you’ll have neighbors knocking on your door this spring asking you what they are. I have also heard that Crown Imperial Frittalaria are called “punk fl owers” because the unusual top notch of green leaves above the blooms looks like hair do you would see in a punk rock band.

Q. I would like to force some fra-grant bulbs indoors for enjoyment this winter. I have a special glass vase called a “hyacinth” vase and I used this last year to force hyacinths into bloom. Is there a daff odil that I can also force? Do I need a special daff odil vase? W.D., Enumclaw

A. What a lovely winter you have in your future if you take the time to plant some fragrant bulbs now for indoor bloom. Th e daff odils that are best for indoor use are called “Paperwhites” and they do not need any special chilling or treatment – nor any special vases. Just set these daff odil bulbs on a tray or saucer of pebbles that are kept moist and watch them grow. You will need to stake or corral the tall stems to keep them from fl op-ping over but the sweet fragrance will permeate an entire room. Paperwhites will fl ower 5 to 6 weeks aft er planting so you can plan your bloom time to have fragrant indoor fl owers for the holidays. Th ey really are nature’s ver-sion of air fresheners.

Ryan Gropp and the Seat-tle Th underbirds anticipate big things this season.

“We’ve got a real good group of guys,” said Gropp, the T-Birds left winger. “We are all just a year older from last year. Anything short of the playoff s is not good enough for us. I think, for us, we want to make a run this year. We have the group and the personnel behind us, so it is going to be a big year for us.”

Th e T-Birds, who lost their Western Hockey League season opener at Vancouver last week, 3-2, open their home slate against Prince George on Saturday. Face-off is 7:05 p.m. at the ShoWare Center.

Gropp returns to Kent ice aft er getting a taste of the highest level of pro hockey this summer.

Th e 19-year-old Kam-ploops, British Columbia,

native, was a second-round pick of the NHL’s New York Rangers in the 2015 draft . He attended the Rangers’ development camp in June and the team’s main camp

last month.“I couldn’t be happier

to be draft ed by a team like the Rangers,” Gropp said. “Th ey are a fi rst-class organization. It is exciting

for the future.”Gropp was one of nine

Th underbirds players to attend NHL training camps and one of fi ve draft ed to the NHL in 2015.

Gropp enjoyed the camp experience.

“It is good to see all those pro guys and how they work day in and day out,” he said. “You just want to take little things from them and try to take that to your game, so it is huge positive to be able to do that.”

Th e strength and size of the NHL players impressed Gropp.

”I think that is what I need to work on the most — getting stronger physi-cally to be able to handle those guys,” he said.

Gropp looks to take the next step to the NHL by making the Rangers’ American League team in Hartford, Conn., but right now he is focused on play-ing well this season.

“I think me being a little bit of an older guy, I am just trying to lead by example on and off the ice, and hopefully this year lead

Pacifi c Hockey League, came up short against the Eugene Gener-als last weekend in the fi rst of two games in franchise history, losing 5-4 Friday and 2-1 Saturday at the Kent Valley Ice Centre.

“As competitors we are very dis-appointed to have come up short,”

said Ravens coach Danny Lorenz, a former Seattle Th underbird. “But Friday we came back from being down 5-1 to make it a one-goal game, showing a lot of character, and Saturday was a tight game we felt we should have won. Th ere is a lot to build on, and our guys will

only get better as they adjust to our systems and playing together.”

More than 400 fans attended the weekend games. Th e league features teen players but at a lower level than the Th uderbirds and the

The Stars, who open the season Oct. 24 at the Dallas Sidekicks, will feature 10 home games at the ShoW-are Center in Kent.

Fauske, 34, spent the last four years playing in the MASL with the Rochester Lancers and has also logged time with the Kitsap Pumas in the Premier Development League. Fauske played collegiately at Seattle University, where he helped the Redhawks advance to the NCAA

Division II Elite Eight as a senior.“Elliot is a veteran indoor soccer

player that I have known since his days with the Kitsap Pumas,” said Darren Sawatzky, Stars coach and general manager. “He has a great resume as a player and he fits with our philosophy of winning games and winning in the community. I look forward to his ar-rival and leadership on this team.”

While with Rochester, the Spokane native earned the club’s Community Dedication Award three times for his volunteer work in the community.

“I couldn’t be happier to be back home in the Northwest playing for the Stars,” Fauske said. “Growing up I would watch Tacoma Stars games and our training facility is the first place I ever played indoor soccer as

a kid. I’m looking forward to being part of this club’s continued legacy under the leadership of coach Darren Sawatzky.”

Ramos, 24, comes to the Stars after spending last season with the Kitsap Pumas of the PDL. Born in Spokane, Ramos went on to play at Walla Walla Community College, Seattle University, and Whitworth University. Coming out of college, he was drafted in the third round of the 2015 MLS SuperDraft by Toronto FC, but did not sign.

“We faced the Kitsap Pumas twice this past year with the Sounders U-23 team, and Mike was a handful,” Sawatzky said. “You can see his qual-ity on the ball and his ability to score in each competition.”

Brian Campbell threw for three touchdowns and ran for two more, leading Kentwood to a 62-24 rout of rival Kentridge in a South Puget Sound League Northeast Divi-sion 4A football game at French Field on Sept. 24.

Campbell found Isaiah Williams on a 15-yard strike and hit Sukhraj Nahal from 20 yards out in the first half as the Conquerors (1-0 league, 3-1 overall) built a 34-10 halftime lead over the Chargers (0-1, 1-2).

On the night, Campbell completed 10 of 20 passes for 134 yards. He also rushed for 110 yards.

Kentwood finished with 212 yards on the ground.

Campbell also connect-ed with Bryce Richard on a 20-yard TD in the third quarter, a period in which the quarterback reversed field, escaped the pocket and made a 49-yard dash to the end zone, boosting the Conks in front, 55-17.

Jawann Gault raced 84

yards on a kickoff return for the Conquerors.

Chavez Kalua-Fuimaono scored on a pair of 2-yard runs. Jaylen Ureta ran 67 yards for a score and Wil-liams dashed 22 yards for another TD in the Kent-wood romp.

For Kentridge, Malik Mcferrin carried 19 times for 101 yards and a TD. Max Arend threw a TD pass and Brian Brown re-turned an interception 24 yards for another score.

Tanner Conner had three catches for 101 yards and a TD for the Chargers.

Kentwood hosts Taho-ma in a divisional show-down Friday. Kentridge played Kent-Meridian on Thursday.Elsewhere

Kent-Meridian 35, at Kentlake 7: Malik Woolery ran for three touchdowns as the Royals (1-0, 2-2) ground up the Falcons (0-1, 2-2) in SPSL Northeast Division 4A play last Fri-day night at French Field.

The Royals amassed 244 yards on the ground

with Woolery leading the way, scoring on runs of 80, 71 and 34 yards.

Quarterback Ben Woods scored from the 1, and Gabriel Gallman added a 5-yard TD run for K-M.

Micah Vaifale scored on a 2-yard run for the Falcons.

During the month of October, for each bag of Oberto Beef Jerky purchased at a Bartell location, a financial contribution will be made to the hospital – with a total expected up to $25,000.

The fundraising effort by the two family-owned companies reflects their long-time commitment to positively impact the lives of children and families living in the Puget Sound area.

In early November, executives from both companies will present the dona-tion check to Doug Picha president of Seattle Children’s.
