Sharp and Stober had the most votes among the three to advance to the Nov. 5 general election.
The 66-year-old Sharp owns Minuteman Press in Kent and served as president last year of the Kent Chamber of Commerce. Federal Way Police arrested Sharp on June 21 for investigation of theft. After reviewing the case over the last several weeks, Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Page Ulrey decided to file the charges. [ more SHARP page 4 ]

They say there’s no such thing as a free lunch, and while the phrase is pretty true for adults, children throughout Kent have lined up each day this summer to get a free meal. During the summer, the Kent School District offers free lunches to anyone aged 1 to 18. Program director Larry McKinnis estimates that when the program ends today, the district will have served around 55,000 lunches. Some parents have only $184 to feed as many as

COOK-OFF IN KENT Teams put to the test in Arbor Village challenge
Cooking for an average of 130 residents each day is a challenge for Mark Anthony Eleccion, but preparing a winning meal combination under the spotlight of a time-crunched contest is something entirely different. “It’s nerve-racking for me,” said Eleccion, moments after serving up the winning full-course meal for judges and residents in a cook-off at Kent’s Arbor Village Continuing Care Retirement Community on Aug. 15. Given the secret ingredient – the onion – Eleccion and Team Yellow went to work and prevailed in the “Iron Chef ”-esque cooking competition, now in its fourth year at Arbor Village. The event featured three teams of chefs from The Inn, The Village
and The Lodge at Arbor Village – staged in front of judges and residents at the Arbor Village Assisted Living Dining Room. Teams swiftly made dishes with the onion being a prevalent ingredient in each dish. The teams were on a one-hour clock to prepare all dishes. When the scores were tallied, Team Yellow came out on top. Eleccion, Kulwinder Kaur and Cindy McGeary were Arbor Village’s “Iron Chefs” after serving: an onion and pear bruschetta for the appetizer; an onion slider with stuffed pearl onions and an onion salad for the main dish; cream of onion soup as the side dish; and a carrot-onion cake, replete with caramelized onions, sauce and cinnamon-sugar fried onions, for dessert. Each winning team member received a $50 Visa gift card. For Eleccion, of Covington, it

His team dethroned Bernardo Gonzalez and the Red Team. The onion is not an easy ingredient to integrate. “It was tricky. I had to think out of the box,” Eleccion said of the team’s recipes. As for winning the contest?
“It feels pretty good,” Eleccion said.

Kent couple arrested, charged with child abuse BY ROSS COYLE rcoyle@kentreporter.com
Kent Police have arrested a Kent couple and charged them with child abuse after they allegedly neglected and starved their 2-monthold baby. The police report states that when Stephanie Mitchell brought her daughter, identified as PMK in the report, to Seattle Children’s Hospital on July 2, doctors saw the girl was malnourished, emaciated and had dry and scaly skin. PMK was born with a muscular disease that requires her to have physi-
cal therapy, a feeding tube and a Public Health nurse. The police report claims that Mitchell had cancelled or not shown at several appointments for her daughter, and also had not coordinated to have a nurse visit her home. When PMK was born, the report continues, she was given a feeding tube, but Mitchell claims that she dislodged the feeding tube. Mitchell said that a doctor “on the seventh floor” of the hospital said that the girl didn’t need the tube. Kent Police Detectives Angie Galettie and Derrick
[ SMITH’S from page 1 ] a few miles to the east in Kent. The new facility, which covers 50,000 square feet, is a hefty upgrade from the farm that the Highland’s and Smith’s have used to make their milk for many decades. While a lot of talk from the visitors focused on the shiny new machinery, many of the Smith employees were happy to have a building larger than the farm’s boarding house. Nate Hansen, who works as one of the company’s accountants, said that it’s nice to have space. Having taken the job at Smith’s out of college, Hanson said that he still hadn’t had any experience in a “real” office setting. While he now has his own office in the new building, he remembers being crammed with three other people into a 100-square-foot room. “If you put on music,” he said, “everyone had to like it.” Alexis Yoshimura, who works in customer service at the company’s depot in Woodinville, said that the things she appreciates most are the small changes. Also at the event were the contractors who helped turn the Heinz frozen soup factory into a milk manufacturing machine. Matt Berg, with general contractor Pro Sales, said that it was cool
Focht responded to a child protective services fax from the hospital, and conducted several interviews with Mitchell. The suspected neglect case brought in Dr. Rebecca Weister to examine the baby. According to the report, PMK didn’t cry or make noise and looked dazed and lethargic. Weister, Focht and Galettie sat down to question Mitchell about feeding her daughter, and she responded that she had tried different bottles and formulas, as well as trying to feed the girl rice cereal and sugar water, the report said.
Later that day, the detectives also interviewed Mitchell’s boyfriend, Anthony King, who said that he would feed the girl three to four times during a six-hour stay at the house, according to the report. But when officers interviewed neighbor Kamela Wood and her daughter, Tiana, they saw a different story of the conditions at the house. They said that the couple’s two other children were well cared for, but PMK was usually ignored, the report said. Tiana claimed that Mitchell would rarely engage or

interact with her daughter and usually ignored her even after she soiled her diaper, the report said. Mitchell’s sister, Christina Jones, told detectives in a phone interview that she always saw Mitchell feeding her daughter when she visited, and never thought to be concerned about her weight or condition. The couple were arraigned Aug. 15 and conditionally released from King County Jail with a no contact order for their daughter.

to see everything come together. In addition to other responsibilities during construction, Berg helped fabricate the enormous 35,000-gallon tanks that hold the unpasteurized milk coming in from local farms.
Swift transition Donley Zwart, with Cutter Electric, said that the construction and renovations were fast paced. His team had to work hard to stay a step ahead of the design process. “We didn’t have a lot of time to think about it,” he said, “we just had to react.” Smith Brothers COO Dustin Highland – a third generation Smith – said that he’s just happy to have the process over with, so the company can get back to business as normal. While the move wasn’t easy or pleasant, Highland said that it was absolutely necessary for a business that had long since outgrown its capability. “It was pieced together over time,” he said. “As we grew over time and as technology changed and as our business model had changed, we grew along with it. But it was always piecing together, putting the same pieces together in a different way.” When they realized that they

would need new equipment, they considered building a new plant but decided to instead look into buying an existing location. The Heinz location “kind of fell in our lap,” Dustin Highland said. The property had all of the things the company needed, he said, from refrigeration to food grade flooring and walls. “So it was already really set up for us, and it worked perfectly.” Dustin Highland has been with
Smith Brothers for slightly over a year, and says he’s had to do a lot of catchup to become knowledgeable about a milk manufacturing facility. He was thankful to the teams at Pro Sales for making sure that he was informed about what was happening during construction. “They didn’t make me look dumb,” he said. Dustin Highland also is proud of how the facility turned out in

contrast to the old farm, which had been upgraded in jumps and starts. “It looks how it should look,” Dustin Highland said, “this has a flow of what a milk plant should look like.” The conveyance mechanisms in the new plant allow a more streamlined flow of milk and a less haphazard operation, which Highland says is better for the product overall.

reverse mortgage statement mailed to Helen Sharp that Ken Sharp had initiated a reverse mortgage loan on Helen Sharp’s home in Tacoma in August 2010. Ken Sharp had told his mother a loan was needed to fix up her house. Detectives discovered through bank records that Helen Sharp’s account received a wire deposit of $263,596.08 on Aug. 19, 2010, just a week after the reverse mortgage application was completed. On that same date, $200,000 was transferred from Helen Sharp’s account into Ken Sharp’s account. The seven counts of first-degree theft include the following transfers from Helen Sharp’s bank account to Ken Sharp’s account, according to bank records obtained by police: • Aug. 19, 2010, $200,000. • Aug. 30, 2010, $40,000. • Sept. 13, 2010, $7,500. • Dec. 2, 2010, $15,000. • June 9, 2011, $10,000. • July 11, 2011, $13,000. • Aug. 25, 2011, $12,000. The charging papers indicate that Ken Sharp
reportedly used the money to help out his financially struggling business as well as to pay for trips to Spain, Mexico, South Africa, Palm Springs, Calif., Austin, Texas and Friday Harbor; and to buy jewelry (with debits to a jewelry store in Tacoma of $10,000 and $2,358). During an interview with detectives, Sharp said he paid his mother’s bills out of her account or by transferring money to his account. He said the more than $490,000 transferred into his account between 2008 to 2011 was with understanding from his mother that she would help him pay off his debts and bills from his business. Helen Sharp signed a notarized statement on Sept. 8, 2012, where she stated: “I, Helen Sharp, gave rights to Ken Sharp as my Power of Attorney so he could pay my bills. I did not want a reverse mortgage or any other loan on my house. I did not give Ken Sharp any money for his business or any other reason.”

Prothero said. “For now, that’s all I can say.” Relatives of Sharp contacted Federal Way Police on April 2 about a theft complaint of money from Helen Sharp, according to the affidavit for a search warrant filed in King County Superior Court. They accused Ken Sharp of taking money from his mother after discovering few funds remained in her bank account. Ken Sharp received power of attorney in 1995 for Helen Sharp’s financial decisions with the approval of her family members. Helen Sharp had lived in her Tacoma home until moving to a Federal Way assisted-living facility in 2008 because of failing health. At that time, Helen Sharp had liquid assets of $220,000 and monthly living expenses of about $5,000 per month that Ken Sharp paid for out of Helen Sharp’s bank account.

COMMENTARY
“Do you feel safe in your neighborhood?”
Jerry Cornfield
?
Question of the week:
Those looking for a more transparent government are increasingly relying on public records to make it happen. They hope the more documents they obtain the clearer their view of what’s really going on behind closed doors in school districts, city halls and county buildings. But there are those throughout the public sector convinced some of these Washingtonians are abusing the Public Records Act. An alliance of government forces — whose members often are the targets of the records — tried unsuccessfully earlier this year to rewrite the act to make it easier to repel requesters whose motives they question. With the help of Republican and Democratic lawmakers, they pushed a bill to make it easier for public agencies to block requests and to limit the time spent compiling records. Though the bill died in the legislative process, the matter reappeared in the state budget in the form of a provision to spend $25,000 contemplating ways to help governments deal with records requests they consider harassing. Lawmakers tapped the Ruckelshaus Center, a joint venture of the University of Washington and Washington State University, to facilitate a conversation between those in the alliance and those who viewed the failed bill as an unprecedented attack on citizens’ right to petition their government. By Dec. 15, the center is supposed to put forth recommendations. The effort is just getting off the ground and folks at the center are tamping down expectations what will emerge. Michael Kern, the center director, said this week the time frame is too tight to pull the parties together for fruitful face-to-face sessions presuming everybody on all sides is interested in doing so. The game plan is to speak with 20 to 30 people who’ve been visible and vocal in the legislative conflict then prepare an assessment [ more CORNFIELD page 6 ]

Fourth brings many dangers, problems I agree with both Dolores Early of Kent and Dr. Jim Brass of Auburn regarding moronic use of fireworks by individuals to celebrate our July 4 holiday. What used to be a celebration of our freedom has turned into an act of terrorism. People no longer have enough common sense to be trusted with these dangerous projectiles. I approached several parties using illegal fireworks and advised them of regulations. The kids didn’t object, but the parents and adults were totally clueless to the point of being absurd, insisting they had every right to continue. If in all this noise and choking residue there was a glimpse of patriotism, I would be encouraged. Aside from the fact that homes are burnt down and property destroyed every year, the money spent is staggering. How much better to spend

The incident occurred at about 1:35 a.m. Aug. 11 near the intersection of East Titus Street and Reiten Road South, according to the police report. The girlfriend told police she had attended a party with her boyfriend and they were traveling home in his pickup when he started to drive recklessly and eventually stopped the truck. He told her to get out of the truck and that he was going to cut out her stomach. A man driving near the incident saw the woman and man in the street and slowed his vehicle. The woman ran up to the car screaming for help. The boyfriend got back in his pickup and started to leave the area before police stopped the truck. An officer pulled out his gun and ordered the man out of the truck. The man finally exited the truck after more officers arrived. He denied making threats to his girlfriend or pulling out a knife. Police were unable to locate a knife. The boyfriend told officers he had about six beers earlier. Blood-alcohol content level tests showed the man with a blood alcohol level of .14 and .13, each above the legal limit of .08.

He suggested lawmakers asked the wrong question with the budget proviso. Leaders in local governments say hefty requests can chew up staff time and taxpayer dollars but there’s no data on how much time and money is wasted to back up their claims, he said. Getting the answer would really inform the discussion, he said. Sounds like something a public records request, or two, could clear up.

Kent honors Master Gardener volunteers for maintaining heritage gardens, grounds The city of Kent Parks, Recreation and Community Services honored Master Gardener volunteers Ed LaCrosse and Wayne Dinkelman for 15 years of service during an open house Saturday at the Neely-Soames Historic Homestead. LaCrosse, the 2010 State Master Gardener of the Year, and
Dinkelman, who was unable to make the ceremony, were honored for their work in maintaining heritage gardens and grounds. LaCrosse works closely with the city, consulting and advising staff about improvements and maintenance to the house and grounds. The garden features an herb garden, a vegetable gar-
den, a grape arbor, a hops arbor, fruit trees, a compost center and planting beds surrounding the historic Neely-Soames home. All plants are contemporaneous to the home. Produce from the gardens is donated to the Kent Food Bank. Volunteers put in more than 650 hours last year, and a total of
6,000 volunteer hours has been logged in tending to the gardens and grounds. Mayor Suzette Cooke, representatives from the King County Master Gardeners, whose members and friend maintain the heritage gardens and grounds, and Kent Parks, Rec and Community Services were on hand for the ceremony. For more information about the homestead or to receive a self-guided walking tour, call 253-856-5110.

iGrad program to add students BY ROSS COYLE rcoyle@kentreporter.com
A successful term at the Kent School District’s iGrad program has drawn more struggling students to the school. iGrad principal Carol Cleveland expects to add more than 200 students to the program in the fall. The iGrad program, now in its second year, has provided a refuge

for students who have either dropped out or otherwise given up on the traditional schooling system. The alternative program provides three options for students. The first is to progress normally through conventional high school classes to achieve a KSD diploma. The other path involves taking equivalency classes to achieve a general Washington state

diploma, and the last path allows students to study for a GED test. Instead of forcing students into the rigid options of the school system, iGrad allows them to take their time and focus on one or two courses. Cleveland says that instead of being tested comprehensively on everything they know at once, students just need to show her that they’ve mastered concepts
The program is at least 17 years old, says McKinnis, who has managed it since 1998. At the end of the school year, McKinnis hires on volunteers to prep the lunches and drive busses

to the distribution points. All of his hires were made internally from the KSD food services to help keep overhead costs down. The USDA funds the program on a grant of $3.75 per lunch, so McKinnis has to run a threadbare staff and save costs where possible, such as transportation and manpower. The lunches are produced in a central kitchen by a staff of specialists, who work on a conveyor line to add each ingredient to the boxes.

students counseling, Cleveland provides the resources to get her students the help they need. The new students have prompted Cleveland to expand the school itself, acquiring a larger building to host lecture classes and adding teachers, counselors and administrators. She recently procured 4,000 additional square feet of space, increasing the number of students she can support from 400 to 900. During the summer, 275 students attended iGrad, but Cleveland expects those numbers to spike in the fall.
the morning and typically runs until 11 or 12 at night. After the lunches are prepared, they go to a refrigerator unit and are packed into insulated bags for loading on the lunch busses. These busses deliver between 200 and 300 lunches each day at seven sites around Kent. McKinnis hopes to expand the number of sites as the years go by. All the lunches need to be served cold, says McKinnis, to reduce the costs of logistics in serving meals at the required temperatures. Lunches have a mandatory cup of fruit and vegetable, and range from turkey and cheese sandwiches to slider rolls. Because all the meals have to be served cold, he has to get creative with his menu. Menu items
range from ham and cheese sandwiches to tuna salads to turkey wraps. The meals include a tuna sandwich, cantaloupe slices, salad and cheese sandwiches. Lunches are tightly controlled. The kids have to eat their lunches within sight of, or inside the busses. Shelly Rockwell, who drives for the program, says that this is to keep the children from taking the lunch home, leaving it out and then getting sick after eating expired food products. It also prevents parents from abusing the system to get their own free lunch. Many of the staff volunteer to do it not so much for the extra money, but because they get to help children in need.

The end of August is when the garden begins to change outfits, preparing for the cooler season ahead with warmer colors and a slower metabolism. This is when you need to savor the last weeks of the summer season. Don’t just dutifully perform yard chores, decide to enjoy the process as well. Remind yourself that in just a few months when it Is raining and cold, you’re gonna miss this:
THE GARDENER
Bask in the warmth as you complete some necessary tasks Tasks to enjoy this week:
Water: Go outside on a hot night and take your time watering your thirsty plants with the hose. Yes, it is more water efficient to use a soaker hose or drip system, especially in vegetable gardens but there is something so satisfying about watching water soak into dry soil. You can sometimes see a parched plant perk up right before your very eyes.
August is when the roots of full grown container plants are smashed into containers leaving little room for storing moisture in the potting soil. Pots that were fine at the beginning of summer with a cool drink once every few days may now need a drink twice a day. Indulge those heavy drinkers and admire how they’ve put on weight over the summer. Harvest: Pluck a very ripe tomato right from the vine and eat it while standing in the garden. Lean over if you don’t want
the juice to dribble down your chin. The taste of sun-warmed, homegrown tomatoes have much more flavor than tomatoes that must be shipped to the grocery store. If your tomato crop is still in the dream stage, visit a farmers market and celebrate homegrown flavor from a local grower. Not everyone can grow vegetables but everyone can support local vegetable growers. Arrange: Snip a vase of cut flowers from your garden and share the blooming bounty. You don’t even need to grow traditional cut
flowers to compose a small bouquet of summer beauty. It is now fashionable to add everything from blackberry vines, grassy seed heads and laurel foliage to any vessel that holds water and call it a “contemporary design.� Even your most annoying weeds can be used as �structure� in a vase of cut flowers. Place a few stems of horsetail around a cluster of weedy grasses and you’ll have an arrangement that may gladden your heart as you watch [ more BINETTI page 15 ]

www.kentreporter.com [ BINETTI from page 12 ] the contents slowly die. Display your flower arrangement of volunteer plants outdoors so the neighbors will think you are growing weeds on purpose – just to be trendy when if comes to flower arrangements. Stake: Use metal rebar stakes to corral and support your huge dahlias, delphiniums, anemones and other tall, late summer bloomers. The flowers of fall often times fall over themselves and past history proves that perennials tipped over onto the lawn can end up as confetti in the mower blades. Plants should be staked before they need it – but staking a wayward bloomer in late
summer can mean an autumn encore of color. Season: Harvest fresh herbs on a summer morning after the dew has dried from the foliage. Place stems of cut mint, basil, oregano and parsley in a glass near the kitchen counter. Using fresh herbs instead of salt and pepper to season foods is another reason to celebrate the summer season. To flavor sauces and stews, tie the stems of fresh herbs together with a thick thread and let the herbal bouquet simmer in the sauce. The string allows the chef to remove all the herbs just before serving and to skip the dicing, chopping and slicing.

Photograph: Take some pictures of your garden. Late summer photos tell the visual story of what plants you need to move and which color or vegetable combinations worked well. Garden photos are a great way to add inspiration to a winter indoors spent dreaming and scheming about the plans for your garden next summer.

KENT SUNRISE ROTARY is gearing up for its third annual Oktoberfest, from noon to 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 12, under the tents at the Red Barn, 206 Railroad Ave. N., in downtown Kent. Fifty percent of the proceeds from the event will support returning veterans and at-risk youth. Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the door and include a stein with your first beer (or wine). Visit www.OktoberfestKent.com to purchase tickets.
“Along with Oktoberfest grub and grog, there’s plenty of entertainment planned,” event chair Cindi Cameron said. “We are so excited to have Manuela Horn returning for her third visit. Manuela, also known as the ‘Austrian Amazon,’ is a yodeling, dancing, acting comedic force of nature. It’s impossible not to get into her wacky sing-a-longs. She loves pulling members of the audience into her act, and they love it, too.” For more information, visit www.KentSunriseRotary.org.
