State, city investigate oil spill in Kent
Crews from the state Department of Ecology spent three-and-a-half days last week cleaning up waste oil spilled on a Kent Valley wetland.
State and city offi cials are trying to fi gure out who dumped the oil. Th e spill contained an estimated 250 gallons of oil over a 1.5-acre site on a 24-acre private wetland off a cul-de-sac on South 216th Street, just west of 84th Avenue South.
Th e dumped oil certainly shocked city offi cials.
“We were surprised that someone would dump such a large quantity of hazardous material in a natural resource

“I feel that I have made a good contributions and I feel very proud of that,” she said.
Ranniger stressed to the current council the impor-tance of fostering inclusion, one of the city’s strategic goals.
“I truly hope in spite of the challenge you will face with the budget that you will make a place for ongo-ing funding to foster inclu-sion and have initiatives around diversity and social justice,” she said, “because if there was ever a time that was critically important, that time is now.”
Ranniger said she plans to stay involved in the com-munity, although she isn’t sure in what capacity.
“I am guided by my passions and those are not going to change,” she said. “A lot of those passions were very much developed by the 12 years I spent here on the Kent City Council, so that remains inside of me forever, and for that, I am
forever grateful.”Ranniger said she is
excited about the develop-ment of a YMCA in Kent. Th e city and the YMCA signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) last year to build a $25 million recreational facility and pool on Southeast 248th Street, just east of 104th Avenue Southeast, in three to fi ve years.
Ranniger has been a proponent of bringing a recreational facility to the city and was also involved in keeping the Kent-Merid-ian pool open.
“I am not quite sure what role I will play in help-ing that YMCA come to town, but I hope to stay involved in that because of the aquatic facility and what that will do,” she said. “Th at’s a missing piece. Th at is something our commu-nity really needs.
Budell, who was active in the neighborhood councils before being elected, said she appreciated Ranniger’s support in keeping that program active.
“As a citizen coming to council meetings and talking to you aft er council meetings, it was one of the fi rst interactions with an elected offi cial were I felt like my voice was heard,” Budell said. “Th ank you for all you have done for the
city. Th anks for listening to the average citizen and making us feel like we have a voice and we have an impact.”
Prior to Tuesday’s council meeting, the city had a re-ception for Ranniger. It was originally planned for the
last council meeting in De-cember, but was postponed due to Ranniger’s husband’s death last month.
Changes on the council
Budell is the only new
city councilmember.Brenda Fincher was
sworn in Tuesday night for a two-year term.
She was appointed last February to replace Ken Sharp, who resigned aft er just two weeks in offi ce. Fincher ran to fi ll the re-mainder of the term.
Councilmembers Bill Boyce and Dana Ralph were sworn in for their sec-ond terms and Les Th omas took the oath of offi ce for his fourth term.
Th e council elected Boyce as its new council president to replace Ralph, who served two years in the position.
Boyce said he looks for-ward to serving the council in his new role.
“Th ere’s a lot of pres-sure on me,” he said. “I am a little nervous, but I do know we are one team and we work together as a team. … I look look forward to continue having us move as one and keep us focused on the big picture and what is best for Kent.”

[email protected] Kent man faces a sched-
uled Feb. 29 trial date in King County Superior Court for second-degree manslaughter and fi rst-degree theft for allegedly letting his 86-year-old mother die in their Kent apartment in 2014 as well as stealing nearly $180,000 from her bank account.
Joselito Dagamac Hon-dolero, who turns 50 on Jan. 8, pleaded not guilty to the charges in November 2014. He is out on $25,000 bail. His trial date is set for Feb. 29, according to the King County Prosecuting Attor-ney’s Offi ce.
Prosecutors allege Hon-dolero’s criminal negligence in taking care of his mother between Sept. 22, 2013 and Jan. 22, 2014, caused the death of Adriana D. Hondol-ero on Jan. 22, 2014, accord-ing to charging papers. He reportedly spent her money on casino gambling, a cruise, a vehicle and other items.
Th e case began aft er Hondolero called 911 on Jan. 22, 2014 to report his mother’s death. Kent Police arrived and funeral home offi cials came later to recover the body at the family’s re-quest, according to charging papers. But funeral home staff refused to take the body because of its bad condi-tion and contacted the King County Medical Examiner’s Offi ce.
Adult Protective Services, a division of the state Depart-ment of Social and Health Services, initially investigated the case and reported the autopsy showed Adriana Hondolero was in an adult diaper completely soiled and fi lled with feces. Th e woman had signifi cant bedsores and weighed just 63 pounds at the time of her death aft er she used to weigh as much as 130 pounds.
Her cause of death was acute pneumonia and infect-ed pressure ulcers (bedsores),
according to the medical examiner.
Kent Police investigated the death and Hondolero told a detective that his mother had lived with him and his wife for about three years. He and his brother served as caretakers until his brother died in April 2013 and Hondolero became the sole caretaker. His mother was diagnosed with dementia in 2010. She was last seen by her physician in June 2011.
Th e son told detectives his mother had been bed-bound for about the last four months of her life and had stopped taking medications about a year before her death. He said he didn’t take his mother to a doctor because she didn’t want to go. He added that in her fi nal days she lost the ability to eat and speak. He said he didn’t think her bedsores were that bad.
As far as the theft charge, according to charging docu-ments, Joselito Hondolero between June 2012 and June 2013 made 33 cash with-drawals for a total of $16,106 at ATM machines at the Muckleshoot and Tulalip casinos and from a Norwe-gian Dawn cruise ship from a savings account he set up for himself with his mother’s money. He reportedly made 88 other cash withdrawals at the casinos between June 2010 and December 2013 from two of his mother’s ac-counts totaling $34,726.
Besides the casino with-drawals, another 177 ATM withdrawals between June 2012 and January 2014 from his account and his moth-er’s two accounts totaled $114,570.
“Adriana was not in any condition to leave her home, let along go shopping or gambling,” a Kent detective wrote in the charging papers about who spent the money. “She was diagnosed with dementia prior to her last doctor’s appointment on June 10, 2011.”

Green River College’s administration build-ing on its main campus in Auburn was under quarantine for several hours on Monday aft er an employee opened an envelope that contained white powder.
Firefi ghters from the Valley Regional Fire Au-thority and a hazardous materials team from the Kent Fire Regional Fire Authority responded to the college at about 11:30 a.m. and determined the substance was talcum powder.
No injuries or illnesses were reported.
Allison Friedly, the college’s director of col-lege relations, said an employee in the business offi ce opened the enve-lope, which had been mailed to the college. It contained a suspicious letter along with the white powder. Friedly said she didn’t know ex-actly what the letter said because she had not seen it and it had been turned over to a U.S. Postal Service inspector.
Aft er the employee discovered the powder, Green River campus security was notifi ed and the college put its emergency procedures in place.
About 25 employees work in the administra-tion building, where the business offi ce is located, Friedly said.
“We were using every precaution to make sure everyone was safe in the building,” Friedly said, adding that there was never an actual threat on campus.
Monday was the fi rst day of winter quarter at the college, but Friedly said classes and students were not aff ected by the incident.
Th e Renton Fire Department and Auburn Police Department also responded to the incident.

A Kent mother and daughter each were charged with one count of fi rst-degree theft and one count of second-degree theft for report-edly keeping money meant to pay for medical bills aft er a vehicle collision.
Vivian Reece, 50, and Jamilia Caston, 26, both of Kent, each were charged in King County Superior
Court, according to a Dec. 29 media release from the state Offi ce of the Insurance Commissioner.
According to the charging documents, Reece and her daughter Caston were involved in a July 2014 collision in a parking lot; the at-fault driver was insured by State Farm. State Farm paid Reece $6,200 and Caston $5,600 directly to pay their related medical bills and for pain
and suff ering. Both women kept portions of the money that were meant to pay the medical bills; the women’s health insurance paid the medical bills.
Later, in October 2014, Caston was involved in another collision and submitted medical bills from the July collision to the at-fault driver’s insurance, Nationwide, for payment.

POLICE BUST KENT MAN IN PROSTITUTION STING
Federal Way police arrested eight men, including a
Kent man, during a recent undercover sting targeting prostitution. Police created
an advertisement on backpage.com and an
undercover detective posing as a prostitute communicated
with the men via text and cellphone, according to police spokeswoman Cathy Schrock.
Once a man arrived at a vacant apartment in the 2200 block of South Star Lake Road, the
detective met with him outside the location and obtained an
in-person off er and agreement for a sexual act. Police arrested on Dec. 17 a Federal Way man, one from Kent, two men from
Tacoma, three from Seattle and a man from Sacramento, Calif.
Police interviewed the suspects at the SCORE jail in Des Moines
and released them. They all face charges for investigation
of soliciting prostitution.

Michele was born in Bridgeton, Missouri on December 23, 1978. She attended Juneau-Douglas High School in Juneau, Alaska. She married Cory McCarthy on July 22, 2006; they made their home in Kent. She will be deeply missed by her family and friends.

like this,” said Mike Mac-tutis, city environmental engineering manager, in an email. “At this point, there does not appear to be any way this would have been accidental. The public works department will coordinate with Ecology and the police department on an investigation into the source.”
Ecology’s Manchester Environmental Laboratory identified a sample of the oil as lube oil with a trace of diesel.
State officials said the spill was reported on Dec. 27 when a dog walker noticed it and called 911. The Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority responded and reported the spill to the state.
Responders found thick heavy oil in a marshy forest. The material appeared to be waste oil, and showed signs with a grayish color and low odor level that it had been there at least a week or possibly more. The oil was 2 inches deep in some spots.
“It may have been dumped,” said Larry Altose,
state Ecology spokesman. “We’re still investigating how it got there.”
The city of Kent owns a stormwater easement through the wetland. The oil loomed near the easement but wasn’t in it, Mactutis said.
Crews tried to remove as much of the oil as possible. Workers have collected 500 gallons of oily water and 125 gallons of oil extracted by a skimmer.
“We had crews working with small skimmers and vacuums,” Altose said.
The skimmers and special pads placed on the water take up oil but not water. Crews remove all leaves, twigs and branches that have oil on them.
Crews wrapped up their efforts on Dec. 31 and removed their equipment. The Department of Ecology will make periodic visits to monitor the recovery process, and the cleanup contractor will make regu-lar checks of the cleanup materials and replacement them as needed.
State officials said wet-land spills can be very com-plex, and sometimes some
oil cannot be removed if doing so would be more harmful to habitat.
“You can’t remove all oil from a wetland because there’s a point where the cleanup is too aggressive and could harm the wet-land,” Altose said.
The property is well known to city officials.
“The wetland is one of the larger undeveloped pieces of property left in the valley portion of Kent and provides habitat for typical Pacific Northwest birds, critters and amphibians,” Mactutis said.
But since this is winter, crews have observed no birds in the area. State officials said that small life forms, such as insects, other invertebrates and amphib-ians would be affected by this oil. Crews on the third clean-up day captured three live oiled frogs, cleaned them and released them to a clean portion of the wet-land. No other oiled wildlife has been observed.
Officials estimated the cleanup cost could reach as high as $50,000. As of Dec. 31, the total cost so far was $20,800. State law allows penalties to be as-
sessed if the violator can be found.
“If this was intentional, the penalty could be sub-stantial,” Altose said. “Pol-luting state waters, failure to report an oil spill, spilling oil, are examples of at least three separate violations that could be found in a case like this.”
Altose said it was too soon to guess any potential penalties.
With no responsible party identified, Ecology tapped into a state oil spill contingency fund to hire National Response Corp., to conduct the cleanup work under the state’s direction.
“It would be very disap-pointing if this came from an intentional dump,” Altose said. “If this was waste oil, our 1-800-RE-CYCLE team (on the phone or online) would have been able to help locate places that could take it.”
Anyone who has seen ac-tivity near the South 216th Street cul-de-sac over the last several weeks is asked to call the state Department of Ecology at 360-407-6000 or the city of Kent Public Works Department at 253-856-5500.-
and was unable to appear in court at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. An attorney for Kime told the court that sentencing in the federal case is set for Jan. 15 and Kime should be able to be transported to Kent for ar-raignment later this month.
Grant 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 father in the front passenger seat. The baby, who lived in Kent with her parents, died two days after the shooting.
Kime also faces two charges of first-degree assault for allegedly firing shots at Grant’s parents, who were not injured.
Kime targeted the vehicle because he believed the victim’s father to be associ-ated with a rival street gang known as Deuce 8, charg-ing papers said. 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 last March of John Williams, his friend and fellow gang member, according to charg-ing papers.
If convicted as charged for the baby’s murder, Kime could face a sentence range of 41-54 years in prison, ac-cording to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.

Q U O T E O F N O T E : “These executive actions, alone, are not enough. The president is committed to addressing gun violence. Congress must fulfi ll its responsibility to protect Americans by enacting commonsense gun safety reforms.” – Congressman Adam Smith (D-WA), on President Obama’s steps to prevent gun violence.
A not-so-funny thing happened on the long march to save Washing-ton from the damaging undulations of climate change.
A fi ght broke out among the warriors.
A little jawboning in the summer escalated with a recent
fl urry of verbal punches directed at the campaign to create a carbon tax with Initiative 732, as its leaders turned in the last of 350,000 signatures gathered in sup-port of the measure.
“It’s the culmination of a long journey this year
and the start of a new journey next
year,” said Yoram Bauman, co-founder of Carbon Washington, the group behind I-732. “We’re super excited about what comes next.”
Th at’s going to be months of campaigning to educate voters on its measure to tax carbon emissions from gasoline, natural gas and fossil fuels. It also would lower the state’s retail sales tax, trim the business and
occupation tax and give low-income families a tax rebate. Th e claim is it will be “revenue neutral” for state coff ers.
Th ere’s going to be opposition. But the loudest opponents may not be in the ranks of climate change de-niers but among those in a coalition

I was at the Journal of San Juan Island newspaper offi ce last week and noticed one of the top 10 stories from 2015 was the dis-covery of a dinosaur bone on Sucia Island.
Th e Burke Museum, where the bone is lounging, noted in a release that it is the left thigh bone of a Th eropod, a two-legged, meat-eating ruffi an like Tyrannosaurus rex. In other words, this was no vegan hoofer.
Th e museum also pointed out that the bone was about 80 million years old. I was all zippy to read that. Finally, the science guys found something older than me.
Th e story did fi re a few synapses, which kind of hurt.
I imagined that one day in a far-off galaxy, a scrubbed paleontolo-gist with multiple ears will be examining a bag of twisted bones in his laboratory. Th e ears guy will likely have found the
bones while visiting Earth and strolling on Loony Island.
Aft er a bunch of months looking through itty-bitty reading glasses, the many ear-lobes guy will come out and authoritatively tell a room of other guys with lots of ears, “Th ese are the bones of a newspaper editor.”
Beings with spiky-pink hair and horn-rims will look at each other and ask, “A what? Is it human?”
“Probably not,” the scientist with excellent posture will tell them. “Although we are not sure what he really was. It appears from his thumb and forefi nger he was an incessant whiner with no hair.”
One of the spiky-pinks will ask, “What did he do for fun?”
“As far as we can tell, nothing. He appar-ently drank large amounts of a buttermilk. No one is sure what the stuff is or why any-one would consume it. We theorize he used it to try to grow head hair.”
Th ese scientists will also have crazy theorems that can’t be right, like our

City Council needs to adopt fi reworks ban
In November, 63 percent of the voters voted to ban fi reworks in Kent. Many letters in the past Kent Reporter have indicated frustration as to why the City Council hasn’t already acted upon the vote of the people.
My last letter to the editor, “It should be a done deal” (Dec. 11) expresses that very frustration.
On Tuesday, Jan. 19, at City Hall in downtown Kent the council meets for a workshop at 5 p.m. to discuss this issue once again. At 7 p.m. the public can address the council concerning the ban.
Th e safety committee led by Jim Berrios has already spent many hours over this issue.
I encourage those of you who voted for the ban as well as those of you who wrote let-ters for the ban to be present
to represent your voice at this council meeting.
Th e vote of the people has spoken.
Th e entire City Council needs to adopt an ordinance to place a ban on fi reworks for July 2017 so they can move on to other city issues.– Mary Personette
One recycler approach poses problems
I was surprised to read in the Kent Reporter (Jan. 1) that our City Council is consider-ing what appears to be crony capitalism by requiring busi-nesses to use only one com-pany to collect recyclables.
Th is eff ectively closes the door to open market forces that keeps fees in check by encouraging competition and effi ciency.
With no competition it is just a matter of time before prices rise, service quality suf-fers and the list of acceptable items shrinks – all in an eff ort to push profi ts to the top.
What is really surprising about this proposal is it sug-gests the inevitable closure of independent recyclers (small businesses) in the area that will be completely shut out.

Mr. Ears continues, “Amazingly, this buttermilk stuff apparently preserved this near humanoid for some 80 million years. Maybe it was used to preserve him for the study of devolved goofb alls. We suspect he squinted at something a lot, maybe one of those things known as computer screens. Comput-ers were very common at that time. Humans actually believed they worked. We are not sure why.
“We cannot really fi nd much use for this editor other than aggravating real humans. He apparently spent time observing politi-cal races, which we think may have caused his extinc-tion, or he was run over by an iceberg.”
I think I will take a trip to Burke Museum and check out the dinosaur and spend some time wondering what the heck he was doing on Sucia Island. Probably look-ing for a snack, or a nice cool class of buttermilk.

of environmental, labor and progressive groups.
Leaders of the Alliance for Jobs and Clean Energy, with a 30-person steering committee and roughly 150 groups as members, had been trying for months to get I-732 supporters to stand down and join them with a diff erent approach they thought would fare better with voters.
Th at approach would involve capping emis-sions, collecting a fee from emitters and spreading that dough around to clean energy and community-building projects.
CarbonWA supporters decided not to join them partly because their off ering had not been fully refi ned.
“Our approach was to come with a great policy
and bring people together to support it,” he said. “Th eir approach has been to bring a bunch a people around the table and come up with a policy they can all agree upon. And they are fi nding that to be challenging.”
Th e alliance brain trust is now debating – and polling – its options.
Th ree stand out: Do nothing, craft a measure to complement I-732, or push ahead with a competing measure.
Not going forward is an absolute possibility, if there is no clear and surmount-able path to winning, alli-ance members said.
When voters are faced with competing items on a ballot, they tend to turn both down. Alliance members are frustrated I-732 forces don’t see the potential damage to their cause in losing as much
as they do.If the alliance proceeds,
its members would need to spend as much time talking up their proposition as they have been talking down I-732.
Th at won’t be hard, as they’ve been lobbing verbal jabs for a while. And recently, they latched onto a state Department of Revenue analysis they claim shows the initiative won’t be “revenue neutral” but actu-ally cause the state to lose money over time.
Adam Glickman, secre-tary-treasurer of Service Employees International Union Local 775 and an alliance steering committee member, called it a “poorly written” and “deeply fl awed” initiative that will drain valuable dollars from the state treasury without forcing major polluters to
reduce carbon emissions.“Big Oil is dancing in the
streets over this,” he said.Bauman off ered a robust
rebuttal to the economic analysis, saying the model and assumptions used by legislative staff didn’t accu-rately refl ect the measure.
“We believe that further analysis by the state will show that the measure is revenue neutral, or very close to it,” he said.
“We think I-732 is a ter-rifi c policy,” he said. “Fossil fuels will cost a little bit more and everything else will cost a little bit less and that’s how we’re going to save the world.”
We’ll see what Washing-ton voters think about that next fall.

At the very least, businesses should be able to make a choice in a market governed by supply and demand and good old fashioned competition in the open market to reach their own decision about who meets their needs best.
At least the council is willing to go through the motions of surveying the
businesses, but it almost sounds like a done deal from the tone of the story.– Steve Gazzoli

Leslie Perez was determined to make a boy’s wish come true.
Perez, a humble and warm-hearted 16-year-old sophomore at Auburn Mountainview High School, saved up enough money from babysitting to buy a bicycle for the boy, whose family has struggled with homelessness. Th e boy’s mother, who has been a guest at the KentHOPE Women and Children’s Day Center, re-quested the bike for her son.
“When I saw the wish list at my church I wanted to help,” said Perez, whose family attends HighPoint Church of Kent. Th e congregation, which meets at Mill Creek Middle School, supports the day center, having donated meals to the home.
Th e Perez family, who live in Pacifi c, delivered the $80 moun-tain bike to the boy and other gift s to the family in need during the holiday season.
“Awesome,” Cindy Perez said of her daughter’s gesture. “She doesn’t always say it but she has the heart of giving.”
“She even asked us for permis-sion to do it,” said Leslie’s father, ’Dre Perez.
Sam Pace, a family friend who attends the same church, said
Leslie is an amazing young lady who is willing to help and make a diff erence in the lives of others.
“Leslie doesn’t have a lot of money, so what she did says a whole lot about the kind of person she is,” Pace said. “It also says something that she gave away a brand new bicycle rather than keeping the new one for herself and giving away her old bike.
“Leslie has a heart for help-ing people. Her gift of a bicycle was not a surprise to folks who know her,” Pace added. “In fact, the week before she purchased the bicycle she showed up at an outdoor event to help homeless folks in downtown Kent. It was a really cold night. Th e weather was brutally nasty, with hard rain and sleet blowing sideways at times. But Leslie was there, helping to provide hot food, clothes and sup-plies – and her tremendous smile – to brighten the lives of folks on the street.”
Other churches, individuals, groups and organizations recently donated gift s to the day center and its guests.
Among the contributions:• Long Building Technologies
awarded $4,000 to KentHOPE as a recipient of its Bless Fest.
• Dr. Sue Hollinsworth’s den-tistry offi ce staff
decided to forego a gift exchange this year and instead purchased a vacuum cleaner, carpet shampooer and keyboard for the day center.
• First African Episcopal Meth-odist (FAME) Church of Auburn, which has provided meals in the past, organized a shoe drive, donated more than 50 pairs of shoes to guests and treated them to a brunch.
• Real Life Church donated 70 purses fi lled with toiletries, acces-sories and other useful items for the guests.
• Kent United Method-ist Church hosted a Christmas party for day center guests and Safe Parking families. Th e party included a festive lunch, cookie baking and decorating, karaoke and gift s for the children.
• Faith Church invited guests to a Christmas event and provided transportation.
• Kathy Sanchez painted de-signer nails for guests.
•Kent Covenant Church’s Women’s Bible study provided two “starter kits” to guests who found housing. A starter kit is a big laundry basket with towels, pots and pans, shower curtain, cleaning supplies, etc., for day center guests entering their new home.
• 47th District Democrats led a sock drive in December for KentHOPE.
• SilverSounds, a senior choir, donated 15 tickets to its Christmas concert.
• McDonald’s, on 256th Street, across from Kent-Meridian High School, donated 40 meal gift cards and some breakfasts.
• On Christmas Day guests were served a brunch at Calvary Chapel South, and all who attended got gift s.
“In the season of goodwill and giving, we are blown away by the generosity of our community,” said Susan Sommerman, KentHOPE communications director.
KentHOPE receives giftsThe Perez family, ‘Dre, Leslie and Cindy, gave back to those in need during the holiday season.

Winter is when every landscape and garden holds the promise of a perfect growing season.
Th is January resolve to add these monthly remind-ers to your calendar. You’ll enjoy less work and more beauty if your resolutions for 2016 are to do at least one nice thing for your garden each month.
January – Save these tips. Order seeds, especially heirloom seed if you want to grow varieties that you won’t fi nd at a local nurseries. Tip: Even if you don’t end up planting all the seeds you buy you’ll still be helping out a small business that is trying to save our supply of heirloom seeds.
February – Cut back the brown tops of ornamental grasses this month. Prune roses. Attend the Northwest Flower and Garden Show that runs Feb. 17-21 at the Washington State Conven-tion Center. Order tickets online at www.gardenshow.com. My talk this year at the show will be on “Weed Wars – how to win the battle without harming Mother Nature” (Saturday, Feb. 20 at 5:30 p.m.)
March – Invest some time in weed control now for big dividends later. Divide daylilies, feed the lawn, sharpen the blades and tune up your mower.
April – Plant cool season crops like peas, lettuce, kale
and cabbage. Add spring bloomers like primroses, pansies and alyssum. Add organic matter to enrich all soils now, so you’ll need less water this summer.
May – Plant something new and in bloom for our pollinators. New David Austin roses are out this
year. Add a new perennial plant that you’ve never tried. A variety of fl owering plants in the landscape will keep the birds and bees
humming along. Accept that it is up to gardeners to save the world.
June – Feed the soil and seal in moisture with a mulch. Cut back any early fl owering clematis aft er they bloom for an encore of fl owers later in the summer. Plant tomatoes, beans, corn and other warmth loving crops this month.
July – Invest in a rain barrel, drip irrigation or soaker hose. Cut back pe-rennials like lavender and delphiniums and they will fl ower again. Fertilize your potted plants. Cut back leggy petunias, dead head geraniums.
August – Harvest beans, broccoli and leafy crops to keep your vegetables producing. Water less oft en but water deeply.
September – Have no mercy on ugly plants. Replace dried up and over-grown shrubs, trees, peren-
nials and annuals with better behaved versions on sale at nurseries this month. Fertilize Western Washing-ton lawns in late September. Reseed new lawns in early September.
October – Move tender potted plants close to the house, bring tender succulents like Echiverias indoors. Cut back frost damaged plants and collect fallen leaves. Make this the month you start a compost pile by piling leaves and debris in a corner of the garden.
November – Plant spring blooming bulbs such as tulips and daff odils. Dig or cover tender bulbs of dahlias, cannas and tuber-ous begonias. Use up the gas and drain the oil from your mower before winter storage. Give thanks that you live in such a beautiful, green place.
December – Harvest your evergreens and berried branches to decorate from nature this month. Fill planters, window boxes and hanging baskets with the pruning crumbs from your evergreens and make jolly with holly.

www.kentreporter.com[10] January 8, 2016 Healthy NEW YOU!
(BPT) - Tis’ the season for new beginnings. As holiday gifts give way to New Year’s resolutions, general health and wellness is top-of-mind, consistently ranking as a top goal for both men and women this time of year. This resolution season, try incorporating
and your pet. PetSmart veterinarian and pet care expert Dr. Kemba Marshall provides some helpful tips for achieving a healthier lifestyle for you and your animal companions.
1. Exercise is key. Pets, like humans, need physical activity in order to be healthy. The good news is giving your pet adequate daily exercise is easy! For some dog breeds, 30-minute walks are enough. For others, a game of fetch does the trick. Interested in trying something new? Mix up the activity. Try sprinting alongside your pet in quick intervals. Balls are great for fetch, but have you ever tried a Frisbee? Even a quick trip to the mailbox each day is a great option. No matter what, both you and your pet will have fun spending time together and getting a workout.
2. Stimulate the brain. Maintaining a healthy pet lifestyle goes beyond physical exercise. Activities to stimulate a pet’s mental skills are fun and important too.
Try a treat-dispensing or puzzle toy with your dog or cat to keep their mind active. Introduce the new toy before a meal, this way your pet will be hungry to learn.
3. Optimize the diet. Have you been feeding your pet the same food for years? It may be time for you and your veterinarian to assess his food and make sure you’re providing one that is healthy and satisfying. Only Natural Pet was recently launched at PetSmart as a brand dedicated to the paleo-inspired diet for pets. It blends proteins with all-natural ingredients with a minimal processing, resulting in dehydrated, freeze-dried and air-dried raw products that deliver the paleo diet for pets. This natural brand
to switch your pet’s food is by providing a gradual transition, mixing the old food with the new for up to 10 days.
4. Monitor your pet’s activity and behavior. This may come as a surprise to many, but discovering an unhealthy habit in your pet’s day-to-day life is as simple as paying closer attention to his or her behavior. While many humans monitor their daily behavior with technical gadgets and apps, monitoring a pet’s daily activity may also lead to a healthier lifestyle. Is your pup demonstrating
pent-up energy? More exercise might be necessary. Are they devouring their food too quickly? Maybe an active feeding approach is the right solution. Most often, correcting the behavior is as easy
5. Stick with your resolutions. Change can be tough on pets, especially when it disrupts diet or day-to-day routines. The important thing to remember is that positive results rarely come without work. As cliché as it may sound, both you and your pet will be thankful for the change in the long run.
These tips are a wonderful way to kick-start a healthier lifestyle for both you and your pet in the new year. Increasing your physical activity and
steps. By monitoring yourself and your pet, increasing mental stimulation and sticking with your resolutions, a newer, healthier life for both you and your furry friend is well within reach. Visit http://petsmartsocial.com/ResourceCenter for additional tips on how to maintain a healthier lifestyle.
