Th e only Kent City Council race on the Aug. 4 primary bal-lot features perennial candidate Bailey Stober against newcom-ers Tina Budell and Hira Singh Bhullar.
Th ey are vying to replace Councilwoman Deborah Ran-niger, who decided not to run again. Rich Brandau withdrew for personal reasons but his name remains on the ballot because he pulled out aft er the King County Elections deadline to remove his name. Th e top two vote getters in
the primary advance to the Nov. 3 general election.
Stober lost council races in 2013 against Ken Sharp and in 2011 against Ranniger. He lives on the East Hill and works as a communications and marketing consultant for several small busi-nesses and a political client. He
remains under investigation by the state Public Disclosure Com-mission (PDC), which is looking into a January 2014 complaint that Stober failed to fi le expense reports during his campaign against Sharp.
Bhullar is a member of Kent’s Sikh community and a soft ware
developer at Starbucks in Seattle. He lives on the East Hill and also teaches at the Punjabi School in South King County which instructs children in computer lit-eracy, music education, language and religion.

City Council approves study to fund railroad quiet zone through LIDBY STEVE HUNTER
It continues to be a slow train coming but a railroad quiet zone could be arriving someday in downtown Kent.
Th e Kent City Council approved on July 7 up to $150,000 for a feasibility study to determine whether a local improvement district (LID) could be formed to help pay for a railroad quiet zone, where new safety measures are installed to further separate vehicles and pedestrians from the tracks to eliminate the necessity of sounding horns at intersections.
A LID is an additional property tax fee charged to property owners who would benefi t from the improve-ments. Th e feasibility study includes the costs of an ap-praiser, noise expert, quiet zone expert and staff time.
Councilman Dennis Higgins said at a council Public Works Committee meeting last month that he strongly supports the study.
“We have been talking about a quiet zone for many years and at this juncture the question is whether it would be feasible to create a LID to fund the roughly

Her latest crowning achievement came on a whim and an urge to serve the community she loves.
Kajal Sabhaya repre-sents many things to many people, but most of all she is a young, ambitious girl willing to do her part for the good of Kent.
Recognizing this, the Kent Lions chose the recently turned 18-year-old Sabhaya as Miss Cornucopia during the nonprofi t service orga-nization’s annual coronation at Town Square Plaza last Friday aft ernoon.
“I’m very excited,” said Sabhaya, a Kentridge High School graduate who is bound for Washington State University to study bio engineering come fall. “I absolutely love Kent, and a lot of my extracurricular activities are based around here. Th is (crown) is another way for me to give back (to the community).”
Sabhaya won a close es-say-based contest to capture the tiara and a $3,000 schol-arship from the Kent Lions Foundation. She decided to
vie for the crown this year, having heard about the Kent Lions’ generous ways, something she wanted to be a part of.
Two other fi nalists – Ma-ria Solano and Alexandria (Lexi) Morton – each will serve as princesses on the Miss Cornucopia court. Each will receive $1,500 from the foundation to be used for their studies.
As queen, Sabhaya’s responsibilities include making many appearances. She joined other royalty in the Cornucopia Days
Grand Parade in downtown Kent last Sunday.
Born and raised in Kent, Sabhaya is the daughter of Indian immigrants and the oldest of three children. Her father, Chandu Sabhaya, is a nurse at a Veterans Adminis-tration hospital in Seattle; her mother, Urmilla Mungra, is a hairdresser who fi rst moved to the United State when she was 14.
An exceptional student, Sabhaya excels in her work with others.
She was part of the Kent Superintendent Student Ad-visory, served as vice chair on the Kent Drug Free Co-alition and performed duty on the Kent Police Youth Board. She also served as a youth ambassador, joining a contingent that visited Nor-way through the Kent Sister City Association program.
She has traveled to many countries and enjoys soak-ing in diff erent cultures.
Sabhaya plans to go to graduate and medical schools, steps toward her ultimate goal of becoming an emergency room physician.

A 24-year-old Kent man faces charges of two counts of fi rst-degree murder for the alleged shooting of his grandmother in Skyway and the shooting of a 21-year-old woman in Renton. Both killings were on July 7.
Zachary D. Craven was also charged with second-degree assault for allegedly using a gun to pistol whip and threaten his grandfather in Kent on July 2, according to the King County Prosecuting At-torney’s Offi ce. Craven had been staying with his grandfather.
Bail was set at $5 million for Craven, who remains in the King County jail in Seattle. He is sched-uled to be arraigned at 8:30 a.m. on July 23 in Courtroom 1201 of the King County Courthouse in Seattle.
A Renton family returning home from vacation late discovered the body Meagan E. Smith, 21, the house-sitter in their Rolling Hills house, according to charging papers fi led Friday. Th e family wasn’t able to reach Smith, who was to have picked them up at Sea-Tac Airport.
Renton Police arrested Craven on July 8. Renton Police detectives also
recognized him as a suspect in the Skyway homicide, based on alerts sent to law-enforcement agencies by the King County Sheriff ’s Offi ce.
Sheriff ’s deputies had discovered the body of Craven’s grandmother, Angelika Anna Hayden, 66, in the 11000 block of Parkview Avenue South on Renton’s West Hill. Depu-ties have been to the residence in the past, including as recently as July 4, and the grandmother had a court order against Craven, accord-ing to charging papers.
Wyman Yip, senior deputy pros-ecuting attorney, wrote in charging
papers that Craven is a threat to the community and has a history of abuse toward family, his girlfriend and animals. His prior convictions include animal cruelty for stab-bing his grandmother’s cat to death as well as fi rst-degree theft and domestic violence.
Th e girlfriend of Craven broke up with him in June aft er about a three-year relationship. Smith was a friend of the girlfriend and was killed in the girlfriend’s family home.
Smith and Hayden each died from single gunshot wounds to the head.
Kent man charged in Renton, Skyway murders
Kent receives $717,255 grant to help with fl ood protectionREPORTER STAFF
A $717,255 grant to the city from the King County Flood Control District will help with fl ood protection and salmon habitat along the Green River in Kent as part of the Downey Farm-stead Restoration project.
Crews will relocate Frager Road along the former Downey farm site away from the river’s edge to near the north side of State Highway 516 to allow for creation of a side channel network and expanded fl oodplain, accord-ing to a county media release. Work is expected to start in spring 2016.
“Th is project provides enormous environmental and fl ood protection ben-efi ts for Kent and the Green River,” said Kent Mayor
Suzette Cooke. “It’s a win-win. A win for fi sh and for people. Th is funding will help provide ‘rest stops’ for salmon during high water fl ows, as well as safe refuge during the spring run-off .
“With the ability to plant more trees, we’ll shade the river and keep water tem-peratures cooler, especially during hot summers like the one we are having now. And for those of us con-cerned about fl ooding, this project will also provide ad-ditional fl oodplain storage to lower the fl ood level.”
Th e project area is vacant and undeveloped. Most of the site is overgrown with dense invasive vegetation such as blackberries.
Th e King County Flood Control District on Monday announced $1.5 million in grants for 10 projects aimed at improving water quality, protecting and restoring habitat, and supporting salmon recovery eff orts in the Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound water-
sheds. Th e area is collec-tively called Water Resource Inventory Area 9 (WRIA 9).
Th e funding will go to local organizations who are working to improve water quality and protect salmon. Th e grants will be matched with an additional $2.5 mil-lion of funding.
“Th ese WRIA grants play an important role in the all-over health of our region’s ecosystems,” said Flood Control District Chair Reagan Dunn. “Healthy watersheds mean a healthy future for our salmon and our communities.”
Th e WRIA 9 Revegetation project will receive $250,000 for the “Green the Green” partnership. Businesses and environmental organizations will work together to imple-ment a revegetation strategy that will address water tem-perature and riparian habitat concerns.
County property owners pay a tax of 10 cents per $1,000 assessed valuation to fund the fl ood district.

$3 million of work we’ve been talking about to implement a quiet zone,” Higgins said.
City offi cials started to look into the possibility of a quiet zone about fi ve years ago. City staff said the city of Vancou-ver formed a LID to pay for a quiet zone.
City staff has met with Burlington Northern Santa Fe and Union Pacifi c rail-road offi cials as well as the Federal Rail Administra-tion to make preliminary determi-nations about improvements needed for a quiet zone. An appraisal consultant is needed to determine the potential for special benefi ts conferred by a LID.
“My feeling is given the size of the project and the large amount of prop-erties that will benefi t from a quiet zone that the LID amounts would be very modest probably pretty small
compared to the railroad grade sepa-rations we have looked at,” Higgins said. “I feel very strongly a LID will be welcomed by the community to fi nally achieve the goal of quieting the railroad traffi c through our downtown
corridor.”Higgins said more people
would be attracted to live or work in downtown without the loud horns. Train engineers are required to blast their horns in a two long, one short and one long sequence when approach-ing a crossing.
Th is must begin as a train approaches a crossing and
continue until the train has physically entered and taken control of the cross-ing area.
“People who come here to make investments or thinking about mov-ing here, one of their fi rst comments is the railroad noise,” Higgins said. “We don’t realize how much it has inhibited economic growth and development downtown. I feel we need to get a quiet
zone in place.”City staff actually recommended
calling it a quieter zone rather than a quiet zone since several wayside horns might need to be installed at a few of the intersections.
A wayside horn is an automated warning system that involves a pole-mounted device that gives an audible warning to drivers and pedestrians.
Th e sound of this system report-edly does not carry as far into sur-rounding neighborhoods as the train whistles.
Fift y or more trains travel through downtown each day and that number is expected to increase with more coal and oil trains going through Western Washington.
Aaron BeMiller, city fi nance director, said the funding for the fea-sibility study could potentially come from the city’s street operating fund but that has yet to be fi nalized until he meets with the council’s Operations Committee and Mayor Suzette Cooke.
in the most positive way because of the relation-ships I have already had the opportunity to establish that I plan to develop and enhance, the fantastic and truly talented incredibly smart and humble and hun-gry individuals with whom I have the opportunity to serve alongside,” he said. Watts addressed the importance of developing partnerships with com-munity organizations and business. “I do know that this will not be work that will be
solely given to me; it will be given to us,” he said. “I know that I do shoulder the responsibility and the accountability and I accept that. At the same time, as we move this fi ne school district and this outstand-ing school district forward know that the support that I will be leaning upon is right here. … When we have the questions that need to be asked, the problems that need to be solved and the dilemmas that need to be resolved, may I remind you that the answer is in the room.”
Watts said he looks
forward to building long-lasting relationships in the community.
“I plan to be here for a very, very, very long time,” he said.
In his fi rst few weeks on the job Watts has come up with what he calls his ABCDs of prevision work for the district.
“I hold myself ac-countable. Th at is the A,” he said. “B - we will use best-we-know practices in every aspect of our work, research, evidence based. Not best practices given that there may not just be one way to do it but best we know. Th at means we have to come together to have those conversations.
“C - continuous quality improvement. As good as
we are we can always be better,” Watts explained. “ … D stands for data drive. It doesn’t mean data-driven decisions. It means we begin by having the right conversation surrounding the data.”
Born in Seattle and raised in Bellevue, Watts began his career in public education as a middle school teacher in Se-attle Public Schools. He spent the last 21 years in Georgia, working in vari-ous roles, including most recently as an assistant su-perintendent of Gwinnett County Public Schools in Suwanee, Ga.
Watts said his priority is to help the students in the Kent School District succeed.
“We just left 174,000 of our children in the state of Georgia to adopt and bring in to our fold 27,000 children,” he said. “Th at is who we serve. Th at is how seriously I take my role. As a servant leader, my goal is to provide leader-ship support to meet the needs of all students – each student. Our mis-sion – why we exist – is to successfully prepare all students for their futures.”
Watts said he learned a lot of important life les-sons from his parents. His mother died of cancer when he was fi nishing his under-graduate degree. His father lives in Maple Valley.
“My dad always said character is who you are and what you do when you
think no one’s watching,” he said. “I remember this like it was yesterday, ‘Son,’ he said, ‘Someone is always watching.’”
He said his parents also taught him the importance of having a good work-life balance.
“To take good care of yourself mentally, physi-cally, spiritually so that one day you can take good care of others,” he said. “I need to take care of myself so that we can take care of our 27,000 children.”
Watts said that in his free time he enjoys traveling, watching and playing sports and reading. He also enjoys teaching.
“I will always consider myself a teacher and a coach,” he said.

Light rail extensionto Angle Lake in SeaTac a step closer
Crews on Monday hoisted into place the fi nal 35-ton concrete segments for Sound Transit's South 200th Link light rail extension, connecting the new elevated structure to Sea-Tac Airport.
“Finishing the guideway moves us one step closer to extending light rail to the Angle Lake community,” said Sound Transit Board Chair and King County Executive Dow Constantine in a
media release. “By next fall, Link riders will be able to board one stop south of the airport and ride congestion-free all the way to the University of Washington.”
Design-build contractor PCL Civil Constructors is nearing completion of the elevated superstructure. Additional work to set rails, erect the overhead catenary system that will power the trains, and install system communica-tions remain before construction of the guideway is complete.
“When light rail reaches South 200th Street next year, thousands of folks in South King County will have access to job centers and other destinations,” said Sound Transit Board member and
King County Council member Dave Upthegrove.
The 1.6-mile guideway is part of the $383 million South 200th Link Extension project approved by voters in 2008 and is currently $20 million under budget. The concrete double-track guideway connects the light rail station at Sea-Tac International Airport to Angle Lake Station now under construction.
The agency is also building a 1,050-stall garage next to Angle Lake Station that will add needed transit user parking to South King County. The station will serve as the southern terminus for light rail until service to Kent/Des Moines opens in 2023.

Now EnrollingSUMMER & FALL
Budell has lived in Kent for eight years and serves as president of the North Park Neighborhood Council. North Park is just east of the ShoWare Center. She works as a project manager for Amplify Solutions, a business consulting and technical staffi ng fi rm with a Kirkland offi ce. Th e council seats are four-year terms. Th e part-time positions pay $13,752 per year.
Candidate responses to a series of questions emailed to them by the Kent Reporter:
• Why did you decide to run for the City Council?
Bhullar: I’ve lived in Kent for eight years, my kids have gone to school and grown up here, and I’m proud to call the city home. I am running to ensure that the council refl ects all of Kent and to empower every resident to participate. My priority as a council member will be to support programs and poli-cies that build strong com-munities and create opportu-nities for every child, family and resident of our city.
Budell: I decided to run because I have been an advocate for the city in my volunteer work for the past eight years and I knew my business experience balanc-ing complex project budgets would be an asset. I also am running because I am the only candidate who lives in the valley and we need a voice of all areas of Kent.
Stober: I decided to run again because I believe I have the experience, skill set and knowledge to serve the residents. I’ve spent my life trying to make Kent an even better place to live and I want to continue to do that as a member of the council.
• What makes you a better candidate than your oppo-nents?
Bhullar: I believe my personal and professional experience in this race sets me apart. As the parent of two children in Kent public schools, I know how impor-tant education and public safety are to families in our
communities and how criti-cal it is to provide access to good jobs. As a soft ware developer at Starbucks headquarters, and having worked in a variety of busi-nesses before that, I have fi rst-hand experience man-aging budgets and making the most effi cient use of resources. I look forward to putting these experiences to work for the people of Kent.
Budell: Experience mat-ters, I have been president in my neighborhood since 2009, worked on three steering committees for the
city, have volun-teered to help other neighbor-hoods with their challenges by rolling up my sleeves and
helping out. I have positive experience working with the city to get things done for neighborhoods and resi-dents for no other reason than helping make the city better for everyone.
Stober: I have profes-sional and volunteer experience in this commu-nity that they simply don’t have. I have been involved and have supported no less than a dozen community or charitable organizations with my time and money – my opponents have not and are not as invested in this community. I have public service experience from my time representing citizens in Olympia and I’m the only candidate in my race that can hit the ground running from day one. Th is is something the Kent Fire-fi ghters, former police chief and over 50 elected offi cials have realized when they endorsed my campaign.
• Do you support a fi reworks ban in Kent?
Bhullar: I do support at least a partial ban on fi re-works in Kent. Fireworks are an important Fourth of July tradition for many families, including my own, but they present many dangers and challenges for our city. I’ve
heard a number of concerns from residents as I knock on doors for the campaign, including a volunteer of mine who is a veteran of the Marines who shared that the fi reworks are very triggering for him. With the very dry weather, I also have concerns about fi re safety, and a number of high-profi le injuries related to fi reworks this year show the danger they represent to kids and adults. For these reasons, I would support a ban on the fi reworks that present the biggest danger and nuisance to the city, such as mortars and torpedoes, bottle rockets, and roman candles, to name a few.
Budell: Aft er this dry Fourth of July, I think we need to take a long hard look at the sale of fi reworks for fundraisers. I realize that not everyone wants to go to a public show, but we have a problem with illegal fi re-works causing damage and it is hard for law enforcement to enforce the law and make the determination as to what is legal and not sometimes. I think we need to limit what is legal in the city and
what is not and raise fi nes and penalties for illegal fi reworks. I would suggest fol-lowing the model that some cities
in the Southwest and West have done and cancel the sale of fi reworks when the fi re danger is high and drought is forecasted, this way we save water, homes and potentially property damage.
Stober: I would support a fi reworks ban in Kent but I hesitate in doing so. Why would I support it? Because when I have talked to many folks in the com-munity they support it and as voters and taxpayers they are my employer. Why do I hesitate? Because fi reworks bans in other cities have
proven to be insuffi cient and no city has the com-plete resources to enforce the ban citywide.
• Do you agree with the pay raises for the mayor and council?
Bhullar: It’s diffi cult for people in the city to see large increases in salary for the mayor, while many people are struggling to provide for their families. I would not have supported a 35 percent raise for the mayor, but would like to see a compari-son of mayor salaries from other cities similar to Kent’s size, and come up with a plan to get the mayor to that com-parable level over a few years. I believe the 2.5 percent increase for council, which amounts to a cost-of-living-adjustment, is fair.
Budell: I agree that our mayor and council should have pay inline with other like-size cities, but I don’t think this was the right time to make that happen when we are still trimming the fat from the budget and haven’t increased crucial staffi ng for services. I do think that once we get our budget balanced and have our credit rating elevated again, we should increase but slowly increase not a huge jump in one fi scal year. I know that the mayor and sitting council deserve to be paid for all the hours they put in to make the city run, but it presents a potential negative resident view when we still aren’t fully funded in certain areas of city govern-ment but the elected offi cials are giving themselves raises.
Stober: Th e council has always had the ability to raise their own salaries but instead they let a citizen commis-sion make that decision and I applaud that. Like every employer we must set a base salary for the position without regard to the person in the position or the person who may occupy the posi-tion in the future. I believe the raises were appropriate but not at this time. As a council member I would not accept the raise instead
I would much rather use the money to bring back a person, program or service that was eliminated during the recession.
• What are your ideas to slow the annual operating losses at the ShoWare Center?
Bhullar: One of the fi rst things I would do would be to look closely at the budget to see where we can limit some losses and ask for more details from city staff and the management team the city has contracted with to run the ShoWare Center. In addition, the ShoWare Center is great facility, and I think there are opportu-nities for Kent to leverage the growing region and its attractiveness to performers and companies, and bring more events to the city. I think we can do more to reach out to event organiz-
ers in the Greater Se-attle area, as well as stable tenants like the Th un-derbirds, to attract more events and
provide more consistent funding throughout the year.
Budell: I would encour-age the management company to look for other events to book at the ShoWare Center. We had ice speedway one year and never back again, try to get more Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) or alterna-tive sporting events and concerts booked. I think if we try to off er a variety of concerts (cultural perform-ers, visiting performances,
etc.) we might be able to not only break even but fi nally make a profi t.
Stober: I believe we need to look at more creative solu-tions. I have said for years I would like to approach the Muckleshoot Tribe about using ShoWare during the winter months. Th ey have the White River Amphithe-ater that serves them well during the summer but they don’t have a winter venue big enough for some of their shows. Th is summer they have already booked 9 A-list performers with an average ticket price of $90. ShoW-are has booked zero A-list performers and instead has an average ticket price of $20-40.
• Should the city continue to try to sell the par 3 course?
Bhullar: If the losses are set to continue, I would sell the course, but only at a fair price and to a devel-oper who could guarantee benefi ts to the city.
Budell: If we have devel-opers who agree with the vision of the city to make the par 3 a showcase and invest in also increasing the road width to accommodate the increase in traffi c to the area, it might be fi nancially advantageous for us.
Stober: No. We have found a way to cover the operat-ing loss for ShoWare but are attempting to get rid of a parks and recreation gem in the par 3. I think of the kids in the Douglas Youth Golf Program who are choos-ing to learn the sport of golf rather than cause trouble in their neighborhoods. Many of these kids are low income and don’t have the resources to drive to Auburn to play.

Cornucopia Days, the Kent Lions Club, a group of people in my town who did things, to do things, like all other cities do in our United States, to foul up traffi c and sell a bunch of knickknacks that we can store in our garages until we get tired of tripping over them and put them out for next year’s garage sale.
Th at is about what I thought of our Lions Club for more years than I’d like to admit. Being that I’m not shy about my opinion and sometimes a little loud, the Lions Club of Kent seemed to avoid
me as well. Th en something surprising hap-
pened last year. Someone from the
Lions Club called me and asked if I would like to photograph the Cor-nucopia Days celebration. I asked if they had the wrong number, and why on earth would they ask me of all photographers?
Th e voice said that they got my name from one of their leaders. “Gary Atwood said you worked together during high school, boxing groceries, joined the Navy together
in 1962, and you photographed his wedding.”
So how could I refuse?So now I have seen the Kent Lions
Club from the inside. It has certainly been a diff erent view than it was in the past. And I have seen Cornuco-pia Days from a diff erent angle than before also.
Let me share it with you. Th ese people are volunteer work-
horses. Th ey are “never stop,” orga-nizing, fi guring, calculating, tireless Kentonians, who by the end of

Prepared to gointer, unveil new vocabulary with my koozie
Th e Oxford English Dictionary announced in June that about 500 words have been added to its dictionary.
Th e article about the added words made me all warm and fuzzy inside, as if I had just opened a gift of eight-track cassettes of C-Span’s Book TV – the greatest hits.
I suspect 500 words is larger than my en-tire working vocabulary, unless growls, gasps and weird sounds count. And I think they do.
Here are a few of Oxford’s additions that caught my wandering attention.
• Carnap – stealing a car, (not what I do while driving). It was fi rst used as a verb in 1937 in the Helena Independent.
• Gointer – It is a verb and one of my new favorites. Oxford said it is
a colloquial expression for going to. Example: I am gointer regurgitate your so-called food. Is this a great word or what? You say going to, I say gointer.
• Koozie – It’s a noun for a sleeve to keep drinks cold (or more likely concealed). Sounds to me like the name of a hit parade ’80s rock band – Koozie and Krumb Topping.
• Stanky – a noun. It is the smell of a teen-age boys locker room on a 90-degree day.
For me, there are few things more en-tertaining than looking up the meaning of words I will never remember or be able to spell.
As I scanned the list it occurred to me there are a number of words I know that for some reason are not in the Oxford dictionary. I checked.
I have considered sending them a list of useful verbals and nounettes to add next time.
Here are a few.• Whack-noodle – verb, adjective, noun,
gerund, pronoun, interjection, conjunction. Oft en heard during off -the-record phone conversations during political season.

City not doing enough to defuse fi reworks
According to the Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority call report recently released, there were 136 fi re related calls for the entire week of June 28-July 4.
Between 8 a.m. on July 4 and 8 a.m. on July 5 alone, there were 81 fi re related calls – brush, structure, vegetation, grass, etc. Th ank you to those who acted responsibly on July 4. It could have been worse.
Laws are normally fash-ioned because some people – normally a small portion – don’t know how to use com-mon sense, and their inconsid-erate or unsafe actions directly aff ect the general population.
Many in the City of Kent are refusing to act responsi-bly with fi reworks. It’s their right, they say. It’s their right
to infl ict damage, to terrorize people and animals and make a huge mess they do not clean up.
Well, what about my rights? My neighborhood sounded
like a war zone late July 4. It was even worse than last year. Th e illegal mortars were obvi-
ous. What are you teaching your children? Th e next time they disobey you, or a teacher, you’d better not punish them. Remember, you taught them not to obey rules.
Besides, did these folks not hear about the statewide fi re danger? It’s rather disturbing that so many did not read a newspaper, watch the news, listen to a radio or use a com-puter and therefore weren’t aware of the situation.
What disturbs me most is that our City Council could have done something.
According to the Kent City Code 13.05.060 B. Ban author-ity due to fi re danger: Th e fi re marshal, subject to the City Council’s prior approval, may ban the sale, use, and or/dis-charge of fi reworks within the city limits of Kent in the event that the risk of fi re in King County or the city of Kent has

Cornucopia Days were dragging their exhausted bodies but still able to raise their chins high enough to push a smile out.
Th is isn’t a government funded celebration. Th ese aren’t salaried individu-als. No pats on the backs for these Kent neighbors of ours. Th ere are no important people here. Th e main reason for this is to provide a great event and more throughout the year to raise money for people in need. I personally know that a large sum went last year to the MARSOC
Foundation, which builds and supplies replacement parts and physical therapy for our military wounded in war.
Th e Cornucopia Days festival was bigger and better this year than ever before. Th ere were more booths, more food, more unique handmade, more usable items to purchase than ever before. Th ere were more things for kids, more for families and more room for people with dis-abilities, and what I look for, more smiles for the camera this year.
I really loved the whole four days, and honestly this
is coming from someone who refused to attend Cornucopia Days for a long time before last year. Th ey have convinced me that this is a really good program for Kent, for the people of Kent, and I believe that I will even become a member, that is if they will stop being too busy to get me an applica-tion to join.
Th ey do need more people to help as the ranks have slimmed with retiring oldsters. You can join with me, if you can keep up ….

been determined by the Washington State Depart-ment of Natural Resources (“DNR”), or a qualifi ed DNR offi cial, to be “very high/extreme” or otherwise at the highest fi re danger level.
How did the fi re marshal and the City Council not get on the same page? Th ey are putting political expedi-ency over public safety and showing blatant cowardice. My understanding of the RCW is that if they voted on an ordinance to ban fi re-works now, it would go into eff ect July 1, 2016, in time for the next Fourth of July.
Th ere is absolutely nothing any council member or the mayor could say that would convince me they shouldn’t ban fi reworks immediately. We have three votes in this house, and I can tell you we will not vote for any one of them if this is not handled. Let your votes count.
I encourage all of you to write to the council mem-bers and Mayor Cooke and keep writing.
Don’t let any of them tell you, “Hey, it’s not my job, man.” Th is belongs on the doorstep of every person here.– Carrie Stark
Stop the whining, enjoy fi reworks
Well, we survived an-other July 4 and the Kent
City Council still has not banned fi reworks. Th ank you.
To all you whiners who regularly insist that a fi reworks ban should be imposed, let’s address your concerns.
Noise. I’ve had a dog that couldn’t take the noise. Do what most folk do – get some “doggie downers” from the vet and keep your shivering shih tzu indoors. Remember, fi reworks are not illegal throughout the state, but driving with your half-pint pooch on your lap is. Get a real dog.
Debris. My neighbor-hood has always cleaned up our street at the end of the evening. As my wife and I swept the pavement in front of our house at 11 p.m. (Kent’s curfew) no one else was igniting anything on our street. If you have late-night, untidy partiers in you neighborhood, you don’t have a fi reworks problem, you have a neighbor prob-lem. Talk to them. When I left for work at 7:30 a.m. on the 5th, our entire street was pristine. No debris.
If you really think a ban would solve your petty concerns, contact your friends – or better yet, the police – in Tukwila, Renton, Auburn or Federal Way and ask them how eff ective their bans are.
As long as the local In-dian reservations continue to sell fi reworks, there will be fi reworks in our com-munities. I buy legal fi re-works from the same stand every year and contribute
to fundraisers by church groups, Boy Scouts, various charities and even this year, the NRA.
When was the last time “Boom City” on the Muckleshoot Reservation contributed profi ts to any Kent charity or civic group?
Enjoy fi reworks like you did when you were a child. Stop whining.– Perry Sobolik
City should use the income of marijuana sales
Recently Washington state passed legislation directing all marijuana tax revenue away from any community that has banned legal pot shops.
Th e state has already collected tens of millions of dollars in new money from legal sales of marijuana, of which the city of Kent stands to share exactly zero.
Will the City Council please reconsider its back-ward stance on this issue?
Attempting to keep marijuana off our streets is admirable, but since sales of marijuana is legal in sur-rounding communities, and possession of marijuana is no longer illegal, this objec-tive is obviously not viable.
Let’s bring some of that new income into our city to help pay for the mayor’s new big raise.– Marshall Dunlap

Kent student earns
scholarship to Notre Dame
Kent-Meridian High School graduate Manuel Marroquin has been awarded a full, four-year QuestBridge National College
Match Scholarship to attend the University of Notre Dame.
“QuestBridge allowed me to not have to take into account the cost of tuition, which greatly relieved a large amount of pressure from me and from my family’s shoulders,” Marroquin said.
Marroquin’s family is from El Salvador, and have been in the United States under temporary protected status after a devastating earthquake struck El Salvador in 2001. “All their lives my parents have been working in order to pro-vide for my family as well as family
back in El Salvador, frequently sending money to help alleviate the poverty faced in the country,” Marroquin said.
Marroquin plans to study com-puter science and go into software engineering.
ALSO: Kent’s Jennifer Conner, a student at
Seattle University, was among five winners of
A Place for Mom’s annual college scholarship
contest. APFM, one of the nation’s largest senior
living referral services, launched its Senior Care
Innovation Scholarship program in 2013 to
encourage student interest in the senior living
field.

Th e third week of July is time to harvest early crops such as lettuce, raspberries, blueberries and everbear-ing strawberries as well as fresh herbs.
Tip: To enjoy the best fl avor from your berries and the most crispness from your leafy crops har-vest in the morning. Early in the day, when fl owers are full of moisture is also the best time to gather roses, sweet peas and other cut fl owers to enjoy indoors.
Q. When do I prune raspberries? I have everbearing raspberries and also the type that only bear fruit once in the summer. T., Email
A. Cut back traditional raspberries once they have fi nished bearing fruit. Snip the old canes right down to soil level to make room for the new shoots that will bear next year’s crop. Th e everbearing raspberries should not be pruned so severely. Shorten the canes by one half at the end of summer or when they stop producing berries. Be nice and add a mulch of manure around the roots of your raspberry plants. A mulch will seal in the soil moisture and provide some nutrients as the raspberry plants store energy for next summer’s crop.
Q. I heard you should not put beauty bark around rhododendrons
and azaleas as they have shallow roots and a mulch will suff ocate them. Is this true? P. T., Email
A.. Not true. Rhododendrons, aza-leas, camellias and hydrangeas all have shallow roots so these thirsty shrubs
dry out quickly and suff er when there is a lack of rain. A bark mulch is the perfect way to keep these shrubs cool and comfortable and to conserve water.
Th e suff ocation problem occurs when a mulch is piled up to high around the
stem or neck of the shrub or when a mulch is deeper than four inches. Just think, “no turtlenecks” when you layer a mulch around any plant and use your hands to push bark back so that it does not pile up around the trunk. Feather the mulch so that it is one to two inches deep next to the stem and three to four inches deep on top of the root zone.
Important tip: Before adding a mulch in the summer, soak the soil thoroughly so that it is moist to a depth of at least six inches. If you add a mulch to dry soil it can keep out the rain and add to the misery of thirsty plants.
Q. I have a multitude of Shasta dai-sies and they bloom well in my rocky soil. Once they fi nish fl owering do I
need to prune them? Also when is the best time to dig up and share these perennials? C.W., Bonney Lake
A. Pruning aft er blooming is the rule of green thumb and with Shasta daisies and many other early summer perennials if you cut them back now, fertilize and water well, you’ll reap the rewards of a second fl ush of fl owers later in the summer.
You don’t need to be dainty with your daisies – use hedge clippers or even a string trimmer to cut off the plants at their ankles – leaving just three to four inches of green coming up from the ground.
An extreme makeover can be shocking but necessary for a fresh start. Th e best time to divide and share most perennials is in the fall or early spring. Th is rule is made to be broken however as many perennials including hosta, daylilies and phlox can be divided any time of year – just be sure to push the liquids aft er any major surgery.
