City finds companies not paying B&O tax
Tensions grow over possible program cuts at Green River
BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com
The city of Kent continues to round up more businesses who aren’t paying the business and occupation (B&O) tax. “We have identified 29 new taxpayers and collected $487,000 in delinquent taxes,” City Finance Director Aaron BeMiller said at a City Council workshop on May 19. That’s the number tracked down just in the first three months of 2015. City staff expects to find more businesses to pay the tax that became effective in 2013. Councilman Jim Berrios asked the finance department how it has found businesses that aren’t paying. “We have identified them

Students, faculty and community members packed the Green River College Board of Trustees meeting May 21, concerned about potential program cuts and lack of communication from college leaders. College officials notified faculty in April that four programs could be eliminated because of a budget shortfall, citing low enrollment in auto body technology and geographic information systems, and the high cost of offering carpentry and parentchild education. Faculty members claim the potential cuts target members of the Union Faculty and are an act of retaliation. Per contract stipulations, faculty members have until June 8 to

Kent Mayor Suzette Cooke is set to receive about a $20,000 cash payout when she’s not longer the mayor under what the city calls a management benefits program. That fact turned up as part of the information gathering by the city’s Independent Salary Commission, a group of five residents who will determine this summer pay
in several ways,” said Barbara Lopez, city financial planning manager. “We have people who ride the train to work in the morning and they have seen (business) names they recognize and names they don’t recognize. We have done some drive-arounds and found a couple of others. Sometimes the taxpayers come forward saying this came on our radar and we haven’t been paying it.” In 2014, 2,483 taxpayers filed the B&O returns. A total of 1,463 of those paid the tax while 1,020 filed but didn’t pay because the businesses gross revenue numbers were lower than the $250,000 exemption or other waivers. [ more B&O page 2 ]

A DEADLY LESSON FOR KENT TEENS Gift of Life increases awareness of drinking, driving BY MARK KLAAS mklaas@kentreporter.com
The students were actors, the scene a mock two-car traffic collision, the result of a street race gone terribly bad. The victims? Two deceased
teens, a passenger of one car, the driver of another. The witnesses? Friends tossed into a traumatic event. The cause? An 18-year-old boy driving impaired, someone who had been drinking at a
post-graduation party. It was a surreal simulation, a true-to-life reenactment tragically played out in an empty parking lot in front of a large teen audience at Kentridge High School last Friday. “It’s kinda scary. It’s scary [ more GIFT OF LIFE page 4 ]

Disabled teen in Kent receives a new, free ramp FOR THE REPORTER
The Master Builders Association, general contractors and volunteers recently came together to build a free ramp that will give a Kent teenager more mobility at her Kent home. Daisy Jacobsen, 17, was diagnosed with Cerebral
palsy and uses a walker and wheelchair to get around. Members of the Master Builders Association, through heart-felt dedication, hard work and the donation of their time and talent, have improved the lives of individuals and families in their community. A total of 21 families received the gift of greater mobility through the addition of new ramps during this year's Master Builders Association Rampathon.

A total of 405 taxpayers (16 percent) contributed 90 percent of the revenues collected. The council last year approved four new positions to staff the B&O program in an effort to boost tax revenues. “The total costs in 2015 to operate the program are estimated at $550,000, about $157,000 less than budgeted,” BeMiller said. The first $700,000 or so of the tax revenue goes to cover staff costs. The tax brought in about $6 million last year with most of the money spent on street repairs. The funds in excess of a $4.7 million cap go to help pay down city debt in the capital improvement fund, although all money will go to streets starting in 2017. The council approved an amendment to the ordinance in early May to overturn a veto by Mayor Suzette Cooke who wanted to continue to use the excess funds to pay down debt. Kent also plans to hire a compliance officer by the end of the summer as part of the B&O staff to join the tax auditors.
“We are building the job description for the compliance officer and once that officer comes on board you will see that officer go to businesses and if there is not a license will report that,” BeMiller said about finding businesses that have not even taken out a business license let along paid the B&O tax. City staff also plans to track down companies that apply for business licenses but aren’t filing the B&O tax. “We know we have people who apply for business licenses. Are we collecting from those?” Berrios asked city staff. “We will use that more when we bring on our compliance officer,” Lopez said. “It sounds to me like we still have a lot of money on the table,” Berrios responded. Lopez agreed with the councilman. “We do,” she said. “And little by little we are going at it. It’s not going to be an overnight thing but we are getting better every day at figuring those folks out. … I’m not certain you ever reach the point of having them all rounded up but we are making significant process.”

BY STEVE HUNTER
shunter@kentreporter.com
The state Supreme Court voted 8-1 that the city of Kent can ban medical marijuana collective gardens. The court issued its opinion on May 21, which
made a difficult policy decision in determining that marijuana land uses will not be permitted in Kent. It is nice to know the Council’s decision is supported at all state court levels.” According to the Supreme Court’s opinion, the state’s medical use of cannabis act (MUCA) grants cities and towns the power to zone the production, processing or dispensing of medical marijuana. Under that state law, the city of
Kent enacted a zoning ordinance to prohibit collective gardens within the city limits. “This case requires us to determine whether MUCA preempts the ordinance,” the court ruling reads. “We hold it does not and affirm the Court of Appeals. The ordinance is a valid exercise of the city of Kent’s zoning authority recognized in RCW (revised code of Washington) 69.51A.140 (1) because the ordinance

Smith St. The roundtable will include: a student fishbowl conversation to help identify what helps and what hinders them when it comes to education; success story testimonials from community members; sharing of results data and status report; small workgroup discussions; and documentation of next steps.

merely regulates land use activity.” The Seattle-based Cannabis Action Coalition filed the initial lawsuit against the city in June 2012 in an effort to prohibit the city from enforcing its ban on collective gardens because the state regulates medical marijuana collectives, and cities cannot enforce federal law over state medical marijuana laws. The group has appealed each of the earlier court decisions.
Group honors historian for Military Road project FOR THE REPORTER
The Association of King County Historical Organizations recently named local historian Karen Meador a recipient of the Long Term Project Award for Military Road: A Lasting Legacy. The project included numerous articles, lectures, telegraphy demonstrations and a brochure, funded by 4Culture of King County, discussing the history of the Fort Steilacoom-toFort Bellingham Military Road. Still known as Military Road throughout South King County, it is one of the oldest roads in the Pacific Northwest. Councilmember Larry Gossett presented the award during a ceremony at the Museum of History and Industry in Seattle. The Military Road Committee – consisting of SoCo Culture, the Historical Society of Federal Way, the Greater Kent Historical Society, the Highline Historical Society and the Tukwila Historical Society – provided invaluable assistance and support for the project.

in management positions. “There are a few cities that have asked for the policy and a couple of cities have implemented the program but there are quite a few that still don’t have it.” Kent implemented the management benefits program in the 1980s as a way to provide some extra compensation because department heads, managers and certain other employees are exempt from receiving overtime pay. The mayor also is exempt from overtime pay. The part-time council members are not part of the management benefits program. Any money in the account can be cashed out when the mayor’s term ends or a mayor leaves office for another reason. Cooke’s latest four-year term ends in two years. It takes about three years under the program to reach the maximum payout. The mayor and employees can use the money to purchase leave or additional medical coverage but most opt for the cash out, according to city staff. Cooke appointed the five salary commission members earlier this year and the council approved the appointments. The council formerly had the power to give itself and the mayor pay increases, but hasn’t done so for at least 10 years. The board has the power to change salaries and benefits and what it decides will be part of next year’s budget. Cooke receives a salary of $102,192 per year, the low-

est pay among comparable cities of Everett, Bellingham, Renton, Auburn and Federal Way. She also receives $7,332 in medical, dental and vision coverage each year or about $611 per month for her individual coverage. The mayor also is eligible for full family coverage but Cooke, who is single, has no family members under her plan. “We’re not out of line with the other cities for medical, dental and vision,” Haffner said. The mayor also is part of the state retirement system. The city pays $9,625 each year into the state program. Cooke pays a portion into the fund as well. Council members can opt in or out of the state retirement system and some are part of it and some are not. The city pays a portion to the state for those members who belong to the retirement plan. Kent does not pay vehicle allowance to the mayor, but reimburses at about 55 cents per mile. The city of Bellingham pays its mayor $6,000 per year in car allowance. When asked how the benefits paid to Kent’s mayor compares to other cities, Fowler said for the most part it’s pretty similar. “I think we’re pretty comparable when it comes to the mayor because she’s treated like an employee and most cities treat their mayors as employees,” she said. The council, however, must pay the full premium for any medical insurance
above their own coverage. Council members are part-time and paid $13,752 per year. “A number of cities are stepping up and providing full coverage for their council members as well,” Fowler said. “If you want a recommendation from me, I would treat council members just as the mayor.” Because council members are part-time, their benefits would be reduced based on their salary. The commission asked staff to come back at the next meeting with more details about benefits to the council and how Kent compares to other cities. The board plans to start discussion at its next meeting on June 4 about what direction it might go as far as changes in pay and benefits for the mayor and council. The members have been receiving a lot of statistics and information during its first four meetings. Commission member Mizanur Rahman asked city staff for a 10-year trend on city revenue from taxes and general fund budget breakdowns to get an idea about the financial health of Kent and how to possibly tie that into pay increases. “We want to see how these are performing the last 10 years,” Rahman said about revenue from sales, property and other taxes. “If they are performing in a positive trend then we are comfortable to advise some raises for the mayor and the council. We need to have a basis.”

Officers arrest transient woman for breaking Starbucks window Police
BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com
A transient woman, wellknown to Kent Police because she has been banned from more than 40 businesses or locations in town, is back in trouble again after reportedly breaking a window at a downtown Starbucks. Officers arrested the woman on May 11 for investigation of thirddegree malicious mischief and second-degree criminal trespassing for throwing a mug through a window at Starbucks, 425 W. Meeker St., and returning to the store after police had banned her from the property for loitering in September at the company’s request, according to the police report. Police responded to a call about a woman breaking a window and found the woman near the Starbucks. Officers noted they recognized the woman from a plethora of previous contacts and that she had been flagged or trespassed from 46 locations in Kent, including the Starbucks on West Meeker Street. Once someone is banned from a property, police can arrest them for criminal trespassing. VALLEY CITIES COUNSELING recently received a $7,200 grant from the Union Pacific Foundation to purchase furnishings for Valley Cities’ Phoenix Rising project.
BLOTTER Officers said the woman has mental health issues and frequently displays volatile tendencies. She talked calmly with the officers at first and then started to yell and scream. After police handcuffed her, the woman allegedly spit on a police vehicle. An officer put a spit sock over her head to reduce health concerns in case she spit at police. While inside the police vehicle, she began to hit her head against the partition between the seats.

Earlier, the owner of the home, who no longer lived there, showed up to try to stop the man from banging into the garage door. But when he tried to stop him, the man pushed him to the ground.

The man had warrants for escaping from community custody from the state Department of Corrections as well as warrants for a no-contact order, fourth-degree assault and obstructing an officer. Police had been to the house numerous times to arrest the man on similar warrants. Officers told the man to come out of the house but he didn’t respond. Police used a K-9 unit to help clear the house and find the man hiding in a closet in a back bedroom. The man also had refused to come out and hid during previous calls.

She went to work, came home the next morning from her job and he continued to drink. She told him to quit drinking or go somewhere else. As the woman walked to her car to go to work, an argument started and the boyfriend reportedly punched her. When she tried to fight back, he bit her on the arm. The boyfriend denied he punched the woman, but said he might have hit her with his elbows. He said he was upset because she had disrespected his father and because she didn’t make him breakfast.

Question of the week:
Well, legislators are 30 days into a special session because they haven’t figured out how to fully fund schools while the Washington State Supreme Court still holds them in contempt for not doing their paramount duty. What you haven’t been hearing is that all the debate on how to fully fund schools is focused on just some kids. The many high school students who are not graduating and not passing the myriad of tests required are left out of the debate. This system of “College for All” does not serve all. Seniors today are dropping out at the highest rate in decades due to a “college now or not at all” message embedded in the “College for All” mantra. College, as the state funds it, is for the upper middle class and affluent kids who can pay for a four-year degree, have parental help to go, stay and pay for the college tuition, and take on the college debt when they graduate. College tuition costs are not affordable for low-income students from any population, much less those of color. Even if tuition rates are lowered 25 percent by the state, students and parents from these populations cannot afford to go, even if they wanted to. It is said there are fewer than 200 African-American students among this fall’s incoming class of freshmen at the University of Washington. The students who are dropping out during their senior year are not any less bright or talented than those who stay until graduation; they just don’t see themselves fitting into the one-size-fits-all mold of going off to a

In my neighborhood there are families walking their dogs, parents pushing strollers, elderly couples getting their daily exercise, and kids riding their bikes to the park. I’ve seen the police drive by these violators daily with no action taken. The sidewalk “parkers” have licenses to drive and should know the laws. Somehow, perhaps because the curbs are rounded, they think it’s OK to pull up on the sidewalk, instead of following the laws prohibiting cars from the pedestrian walkway. Let’s protect our kids and neighbors by enforcing the laws that prohibit parking on the sidewalks. The side effect of a little parking enforcement revenue would be OK too.

Floods and droughts It doesn't appear the weather will revert to what we've known in the past, so it's best to plan accordingly. We've spent billions on outer space when the money is desperately needed right here on planet Earth. The flood waters back east are wasted by allowing it to run into the sea. California is the nation's highest crop producer but can't continue much longer after four years of drought. Nothing will change unless we change it. Floodwaters should be diverted to where its needed by building connecting canals, or pipelines, from state to state. Pipelines are used to transport oil and natural gas throughout the United States, so why not floodwaters to
provide water to farmlands in California? The economy can't thrive or survive without water. – Gus Olivo
Embrace the environment, ban plastic bags Although I currently live and go to school in Bellingham, Kent is where I grew up and I will always care for what goes on in that community. It is for this reason that I’m writing to you, trying to spread support for the banning of plastic bags in the city of Kent. As you may already know, Bellingham banned plastic bags in August of 2012, as have many cities nationwide in recent years. This decision was greatly influenced by concern for the environmental impact of plastic bags, which are undeniably detrimental. They can take around a thousand years to biodegrade, are still toxic even after this degradation, and often end up in the ocean. Banning plastic bags is one of the simplest and most effective ways of slowing climate change and environmental degradation on a local, and eventually national, scale. When Bellingham banned plastic bags, the city began charging shoppers five cents for each paper bag they took from the store. Although this seems like a minuscule [ more LETTERS page 7 ]

They and others who have dropped out of the system have come to realize that school, as the talking heads and powers that be in Olympia have created it, is a system that fails to help them find their passion at an early age, and then beats them up with tests. All kids need to know English and math, but it is about what they know and are able to use that is of more interest to them. They are looking for opportunities for deeper learning in an applied way instead of just sitting and getting. All of us learn better by doing. This isn’t about rigor, it is about vigor, and students are looking for vigorous classes they know will take them where they want to go in life. As a result of Olympia policies, more and more students are not simply being left behind, they are being forced out by the system
[ LETTERS from page 6 ] amount, many people still buy paper bags every day and because of this, additional tax revenue is collected by the city. Consequently, people are often so deterred from getting a paper bag for fear of paying the bag tax that they buy reusable bags and make it a habit to bring them to the store. On the one hand, if plastic bags were banned, Kent could garner more tax revenue via the bag tax. On the other hand, more people using reusable bags is already a step in the right direction to becoming more eco-friendly. The environment is an issue that directly affects us all. We should really start taking action to preserve it. – Alex Hastings
College leaders ignoring our concerns I am deeply disappointed by the Green River College Board of Trustees’ (BOT) response to community concerns. The lack of acknowledgement of two faculty votes of no confidence, concerns expressed within the no confidence documents, a student petition of no confidence in the president, and approximately two hours of public comments from con-
because there is a very desperate lack of what they need in school to use their passion and provide them with an alternate pathway to success. The good news is there are programs and classes for students who want to learn by doing, who want to take a path that leads to goodpaying jobs and careers, which are interesting to them without getting a four-year degree first. These kids want to get to doing, they want to make stuff, they want to create, they want to get to work and become adults sooner than later. They want to take career and technical education classes in high school, they want to get into the trades, they want the skills to work in areas that interest them, not fourto-six more years of school on the promise there may be good paying jobs when they are done. The bad news is Olympia and those who fund and create the rules for education have determined that this type of education and career choice is not
cerned staff, students and citizens after the trustees meeting is disheartening, to say the least. The BOT references the budgetary troubles of the college in its support of the president and states that this latest vote of no confidence comes in the wake of a potential reductionin-force. One would be hard pressed to argue these points. Most colleges in the region felt economic crisis a few years ago when state funding changed. We were seemingly able to ride out these troubles through some of our “contractual income.” And now we are in a crisis? What has changed? Did we not see this coming? During these past several years of “surviving,” we have remodeled and built new buildings and created several new programs. I support each of these endeavors individually, but should we be doing so many new things at once while in hard economic times? Should we have planned better so as not to sacrifice long-standing community, driven programs? More importantly to me is the way these changes are taking place. Yes, this latest vote of no confidence comes after notification of potential program cuts, but that was just the last straw. The campus community I once loved and bragged about to all of my friends
worthy of taxpayer dollars and of cultural value. Our leaders in Olympia have failed to put the resources into career and technical education programs that put students in position for living-wage jobs that have a future for them and their families. When they are ready and have the need for “higher education” they will earn that degree, and more than likely, have employer help with the costs. All of us need to demand more from Olympia. This is about expanded opportunity for all students. Tell the legislators to provide resources to expand high quality career and technical education programs in all of our local high schools so that all of our children are valued, supported, and have the tools for success in good-paying jobs and life. Call Olympia today and demand they make it happen. Tim Knue is executive director of the Washington Association for Career and Technical Education. Reach him at 360-786-9286 or tim@ wa-acte.org.
has become a toxic environment. Staff comment about “just keeping their head down” and fear that at any moment someone might tell them their job is no longer needed. People who try to express their concerns fear for their jobs. Decisions are made unilaterally without consulting or at the very least giving advanced notice to those involved. When given the opportunity to give ideas or solutions, faculty and staff suggestions are often cast aside before real consideration. Our community feels broken. No longer is coming to work something I look forward to every day. I am extremely thankful for my wonderful colleagues and students who remind me each day the joy of what I do for a living. But, feeling cast aside, undervalued, and even scorned by this administration wears on a person. And this means those wonderful students are not getting my best self. Don’t they deserve that from all of us? – Rochelle Mitchell, mathematics instructor for 19 years at Green River College

[ COLLEGE from page 1 ] come up with a solution to save the programs. Faculty spared the parentchild education program in early May by reducing the number of course sections and faculty while still serving the same number of students. Faculty and college representatives have been in unsuccessful contract negotiations for more than a year. Earlier this month, faculty filed an Unfair Labor Practice complaint with the Washington State Public Employees Relations Commission and presented the Board of Trustees with a Vote of No Confidence in college President Eileen Ely. Jamie Fitzgerald, an English instructor at Green River, said 92 percent of the college’s 114 tenured faculty voted in favor of the no confidence vote. College officials said this equates to 29 percent of all faculty, including nontenured and adjunct. Faculty also presented a Vote of No Confidence to Ely in 2013. Students presented the board with a petition with more than 200 student signatures expressing their lack of confidence in Ely. “In the history of this college there has never been this level of unrest and bad morale …,”
Mark Millbauer, president of the college’s faculty union and head of the auto body technology program, said during the board meeting. “It is so bad that not only have we had to give a second Vote of No Confidence and a serious letter of concern about our president, we are to the point of where our faculty are considering strong actions up to, and including, a strike – a stop of labor.” On May 22, Union Faculty members voted to authorize the union’s executive board to call a strike if they deem it necessary. Fitzgerald said those who voted were primarily tenured faculty, but the union hopes to poll nontenured and adjunct faculty to get a vote that represents more of the college’s instructors. He said on Wednesday there were no plans for a strike. “We are trying to give the administration every opportunity to avoid this,” Fitzgerald said. “We are hoping they come to their senses.” He said the union hopes to have some faculty travel to Olympia to let lawmakers know what is going on at the college. Faculty also organized a letter-writing campaign to the governor to make him aware of the situation. Board of Trustees chair Pete Lewis said he hopes to improve
Vern Reber, a student in Green River College’s carpentry program, addresses college president Eileen Ely, right, and the Board of Trustees during a board meeting on May 21. HEIDI SANDERS, Kent Reporter communication with faculty. “There is a frustration that was caused more by outside influences, and I’m talking about finance in the Legislature,” Lewis said after the May 21 board meeting. “That really needs to be addressed. These teachers need to be paid and I would really like to see that take place. That is really going to be my priority and open communications, bringing the faculty to the table in the process provided.” Lewis said the board has no plans to act on the Vote of No Confidence. The board released a statement in support of Ely on
May 22. “Most importantly, we wish to make it clear that we as a Board support the efforts of President Ely and her Administrative team,” the statement said. About 30 students, faculty and community members spent more than an hour addressing the board during the May 21 meeting. John Martin, a student in the carpentry program, told the board he comes from a family with ties to the carpentry industry. “I chose this program because of its reputation for quality and the unparalleled hands-on work it does with students and serving
the community at large,” he said. Martin said he was drawn to the program because it is the only one in the area to offer night courses. He said it would be difficult to find another program so he could finish his certification. “The differences in curriculum and class structure would put Green River students in the position to forfeit their progress thus far, accept time and money loss and have to start over completely,” he said. “As a paying customer, allowing students to enter a program they can’t finish is false advertising.” Donny Hallstone, who has taught math at the college for more than 30 years, spoke to the board about the contentious environment on campus. “I’ve seen bad times and good times, but they have never been like this,” he said. “Morale, at this point, is by far the worst ever. In talking to others today about that, it occurred to us in the conversation that a lot of the board members are newer. You may have the feeling that faculty are always angry, always complaining, but this couldn’t be further from the truth for most of the time that I have been here. We have been pushed to the brink.”
Kent teachers vote against one-day walkout, opt instead for alternative activities Teachers in the Kent School District decided Tuesday not to participate in a one-day walkout over lack of funding for education and class size like many of their counterparts across the state have. Instead, the Kent Educa-

Kent School District to offer CWU courses in high schools BY HEIDI SANDERS hsanders@kentreporter.com
Juniors and seniors in the Kent School District will have a new option to earn college credit starting this fall. The district will partner with Central Washington University to offer college classes in high school classrooms. Originally, the district had hoped to offer the courses as a part of the Running Start program, allowing students to take the courses without bearing the expenses of tuition, but the state Legislature changed the way program funding is allocated. Kent students will be able to take the CWU courses as dual enrollment and pay $55 to $65 per credit.
Running Start in the High School was created to serve students at more rural schools who would not otherwise have access to running start courses because of their distance from a college campus, said Ann Anderson, CWU’s director of community and government relations. The program became popular in more urban areas, as school officials saw that it gave more students the opportunity to take Running Start, she said. CWU offers college courses in more than 100 high schools across the state, Anderson said. “It really helps that those students can stay on high school campus to take these accelerated classes,� she said. “School personnel - superintendents and princi-
pals - really liked this model.� Under the new legislation, funding for the Running Start in the High School courses first will go to schools more than 20 miles from a Running Start program on college campus and then to small schools as classified by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. Schools that have a low-income student population then would be able to apply for any funding that is left. High schools already offering the program will receive funding for the 2015-2016 school year, but Kent schools won’t fall under that category since the program hasn’t started in the district.

homeimprovement A supplement to the Kent and Auburn Reporter

How to determine the true value of home improvements (BPT) - As the U.S. housing industry continues to emerge from the Great Recession, signs are pointing toward positive recovery. In fact, a recent report from the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University states that the home improvement industry could see record spending in 2015. It’s news like this that may have you contemplating an update to your house. Even if you plan to stay in your home for years to come, it’s important to consider which home remodeling projects offer the potential for a positive return on investment. “Research shows that more homeowners intend to remain in their homes after remodeling, however, resale value is still a major factor when planning renovations,” says Susan Selle, chief marketing officer of exterior building products manufacturer Ply Gem Industries. Before spending a significant amount of time and money on your next home improvement project, consider these tips. Five home improvements with the highest ROI The 2015 Remodeling Magazine Cost vs.Value report identifies these top five midrange exterior home renovations as beneficial investments that allow homeowners to recoup a substantial percentage of their investment when they resell their homes: • Replacing the front door (steel 101.8 percent)

Keep in mind you will need to rent or buy power tools and equipment and potentially learn new skills. • Hidden costs. For example, bringing outdated electrical or plumbing installations to code, or removing lead paint. • Site preparation costs. For exterior renovations, this may include tree trimming, clearing land, and renting a haul-away container. • Interim housing costs. If you plan to relocate, you will need living expenses for the project’s duration. • Material cost. These include large expenses and small ones (ex. nails, trim) and could account for as much as half to 75 percent of the total cost. Factor in an extra 6-to-10 percent for waste for materials that are cut and fitted. Bringing it home If you’re interested in near-term resale value, it’s important to make sure that selling your home will at least recoup the cost of any completed projects. If you plan to stay in your home for many years, however, you’ll not only benefit from an improved resale value down the road, but you’re also more likely to appreciate the improved comfort and curb appeal in the meantime.

Another advantage of a ductless mini-split air conditioner is their small size and flexibility for zoning, heating, or cooling to individual rooms. Home owners can even have dual zone ductless systems with multiple indoor units connected to one outdoor unit. Because each indoor unit has individual thermostats, only the area where someone is present needs to be conditioned, saving additional energy and money. Why Ductless Systems Provide Better Home Security than Window Units Even though window air conditioners can be Energy Star Rated and efficient in their own right, they are only a short term solution to the summer heat. While they are relatively inexpensive to purchase and install, window air conditioners mostly only serve a single room. Depending on how and when a home was built, running one unit doesn’t offer realistic
solutions. More often than not, one household will need several window units to keep all members of the family happy and the home temperate. To the professionals, this signals red flags, and the professionals also know that a ductless system is a better and safer way to cool a home. Window units usually have sliding accordion-like wings that help block out outside air and ensure the unit stays in place. That’s why thieves love window units! All it takes to break into a home is pushing the window unit into the home and thieves have a wide open, free admission ticket. A ductless system runs a line set from the outdoor unit to the inside of the home. This line set cannot be kicked-in or used by thieves to access the home. If you’re thinking that your home is getting unseasonably uncomfortable this summer, then consider adding a ductless system and turning a home into a comfortable castle. Remember to think out of the box and talk to the heating and cooling professionals at Fox Plumbing & Heating to see how they can give you the home comfort you deserve!

Three Steps to How style and function blend Get Your Home’s for ideal bathroom visibility Whether you have a petite powder room or a grand master bath, there are four main types of Outdoor Spaces lighting you should consider: ambient, task, accent and natural. AMBIENT LIGHTING: Ambient lighting is the main source of illumination and is fundamental to a solid bathroom lighting plan. Also known as general lighting, ambient lights are typically installed Summer-Ready overhead and provide lighting for safety and overall comfort. (StatePoint) You may not think a lot about your home’s outdoor spaces during the off-season, but in warm weather, your porch, deck, yard and patio are extensions of your living space -- and it’s important to maintain these areas to be in tip-top shape. Here are some helpful tips to get these spaces summer-ready. ORGANIZE Set yourself up for a season of better gardening, yardwork, tinkering and auto repair by organizing your shed or garage.You’ll be more inclined to do these necessary tasks when you know exactly where your tools are and you don’t have to search around in order to get started. Do an inventory of your tools. Throw out rusty or broken items that are irreparable. Perform routine maintenance on equipment and tools. Then organize your equipment in a systematic way that makes the most sense for you, making use of vertical storage systems that take the best advantage of the space you have. DEEP CLEAN It’s a tough world out there. Things get dirty, messy and stained, and sometimes a garden hose, soap and elbow grease just aren’t enough -- especially after months of neglect. Enter the pressure washer, which can aggressively blast things clean with water jets pressurized up to75 times that of a garden hose; or gently spray with lower pressures for delicate cleaning. Step up your cleaning of patio furniture, sidewalks and fencing with a light-duty pressure washer. For decks, patios, garage floors, siding and driveways, a medium-duty pressure washer can help save you time and energy on clean-up jobs. Just be sure to wear googles and closed-toed shoes when using a pressure washer, and never operate the machine in an enclosed area. If you don’t already own a pressure washer and you’re looking to purchase one, be sure to get the right machine for your needs. Factors like how often you plan to use it and the type of projects you will use it for are key elements in the decision making process. Briggs & Stratton, a pressure washer manufacturer known for machines that start easily, run quietly and offer fuel efficiency, makes the selection process easy with a buying guide selector tool available online at www.briggsandstratton.com. FRIENDLY SPACES Reduce mosquitos by eliminating standing water from the yard. For more comfortable cookouts, you may also want to add plants to your yard that repel these pests, such as citronella and marigolds. Plant trees so you can look forward to shady spaces for future seasons. However, for the current season, use awnings or shade arbors to create a place where you can safely and happily spend the sunniest portion of your afternoons. By performing a few key tasks, you can prime home’s outdoor spaces for a season of gardening, entertaining, relaxing and summer living.
TASK LIGHTING: Task lighting is absolutely necessary for daily grooming activities like putting on makeup and shaving. High-end mirrors like the Reception mirror from Robern feature built-in premium task lighting. With a sleek design and open storage, the mirror features fluorescent vertical task lighting at an ideal light value that simplifies grooming tasks. ACCENT LIGHTING: These types of lights artistically highlight special objects, like paintings, plants, sculptures or architectural detailing. Accent lights are typically smaller and include a shield that allows you to direct the light on the desired object. Natural lighting: Skylights allow sunlight in during daylight hours without jeopardizing any privacy, plus they can be installed with shades for optional closure if desired. Natural light from sources like skylights can be particularly inviting near the bathtub.

their warranty, which may also be difficult to achieve with one coat.
Q. Should I wash my house before I paint? A. Absolutely. This is one of the most important steps. Even a house that appears clean, has a layer of dirt that needs to be washed off prior to painting.
Q. What are the hot colors these days? A. Of course you’ll see a variety of colors and since each home tends to be a reflection of the owner and such an individual choice. If you like it, then it’s probably the hot color.
Q. What is the best paint to use? A. Like many things, it depends. Most brands offer price based paint and quality paints. Dark colors fade faster with inexpensive paints and have much shorter warranty periods. Quality paints cover in fewer coats, last longer, splatter less and protect longer; and they’re color looks better longer. Q. Should I use a sprayer or paint by hand? A. Spraying can be faster, though it can also cause a mess much faster if you’re unfamiliar with it’s use. It also requires quite a bit more masking to protect areas not being painted. If you spray, back-rolling while the paint is still wet helps achieve a uniform finish. Painting by hand is often more manageable for home owners doing they’re own painting. Q. Do you recommend two coats or can I paint just one? A. Good question. We almost always paint two, unless the owner specifically requests one. It’s difficult to achieve full coverage in one coat. And the manufacturer may recommend a particular millage, or thickness of paint, for
Q. Do you have any suggestions for picking colors? A. Certainly. Many people find the perfect color by driving through neighborhoods looking at other houses. The paint store is a good place to start, as well. There are designers who provide color consults and are more affordable than you might think. Since painting is quite an investment of both time and money, take as much time as you need to get it right. Once you’ve narrowed your choice(s), it can be quite helpful to try samples. Q. Any other suggestions before I begin painting my own house this summer? A. Be safe! Being up on ladders, roofs, chimneys, etc. is dangerous and people get hurt every year. Invest in proper ladders, making sure they’re properly rated for your weight, plus the weight of your equipment, that they’re on even ground and firmly placed against the house before climbing.You may even want to invest in a safety harness when up on the roof. Good luck and happy painting.

Upgrades that Boost Curb Appeal and Home Value in One Shot (StatePoint) Giving your home’s exterior a fresh new look could also increase its value, if you choose your upgrades wisely. To get a great return on your investment, it’s all about picking the right projects. Here are three ideas to boost your home’s curb appeal while investing wisely in what is likely your largest asset. SIDING Siding replacement offers a great return on investment. In fact, you could recover over 80 percent of the cost, according to 2015 figures from Remodeling.com, which compares the cost of common home improvement projects with the value those projects retain at resale. America`s largest replacement window and exterior remodeling company, Window World, has many vinyl siding options that offer color retention and resistance to moisture, keeping your siding looking great and lasting longer -- perfect for boosting curb appeal. Additionally, Window World’s insulated siding packages can improve your home’s energy efficiency and comfort, which can help in its future resale. WINDOW REPLACEMENT Want to add architectural interest to the outside of your home? Consider replacing your windows with stylish, well-crafted options that complement the style of your house.
Replacing your home’s windows is also a good financial expenditure -- recouping nearly 75 percent of the cost, according to the same Remodeling.com study. And it’s no wonder; new window designs provide innovative features, such as low maintenance, durability, simple operation and resistance to peeling, cracking and warping. In addition to improving the look of your exterior, replacement windows help save money on your utility bills. For example, Window World offers windows backed by the Good Housekeeping Seal for seven consecutive years, and glass packages that are ENERGY STAR qualified with features like Low-E Glass. This element intelligently blocks heat gain from the sun’s rays in warm months, but allows for shorter solar rays into the house during the cold months -- a component future buyers will likely appreciate! For more information about window and siding products, visit www.WindowWorld.com. LANDSCAPING Don’t let a beautiful home be overshadowed by a dreary yard. Smart landscaping makes a great first impression, adding beauty and value to your home. Take into consideration the size, shape and color of your house. For yearround appeal, also think about the local climate. If you don’t have a green thumb or an eye for design, a landscaping contractor can help
you plan and execute this worthwhile project. Make upgrades to your home’s exterior wisely. Investigate op-
tions that will boost curb appeal, improve your lifestyle and offer a return on investment down the line.

Call 811 before digging for landscaping and home improvement projects (BPT) - With the snow melted and the ground thawed, many eager homeowners and landscape professionals across the country will roll up their sleeves and reach for their garden shovels to start projects that require digging this spring. During the transition into “digging season,” Common Ground Alliance (CGA), the association dedicated to protecting underground utilities and the people who dig near them, reminds homeowners and professional diggers that calling 811 is the first step toward protecting you and your community from the risk of unintentionally damaging an underground line. Every digging project, no matter
how large or small, warrants a free call to 811. Installing a mailbox or fence, building a deck and landscaping are all examples of digging projects that should only begin a few days after making a call to 811. Calling this number connects you to your local one-call utility notification center. Nearly half of American homeowners say they do not plan to make a free call to 811 before digging, according to data collected by CGA in late February. Extrapolated to the full population of U.S. homeowners, approximately 38.6 million people will dig this year without first calling 811. A utility line is damaged every six minutes in America because someone decided to dig without making a

call to 811 to learn the approximate location of buried utilities in their area. Unintentionally striking one of these lines can result in inconvenient outages for entire neighborhoods, harm to yourself or your neighbors and repair costs. As a result, CGA offers the following tips to make sure you complete your project safely and without any utility service interruptions, so you don’t become a statistic. Here’s how the 811 process works: 1. One free, simple phone call to 811 makes it easy for your local one-call center to notify all appropriate utility companies of your intent to dig. Call a few days prior to digging to ensure enough time for the approximate location of utility lines to be marked with flags or paint.
2. When you call 811, a representative from your local one-call center will ask for the location and description of your digging project. 3.Your local one-call center will notify affected utility companies, which will then send professional locators to the proposed dig site to mark the approximate location of your lines. 4. Only once all lines have been accurately marked, roll up those sleeves and carefully dig around the marked areas. There are nearly 20 million miles of underground utility lines in the United States that your family depends on for everyday needs including electric, gas, water and sewer, cable TV, high-speed Internet and landline telephone, which equals more than a football field’s length of utilities for every person in the United States. With that much critical infrastructure underground, it’s important to know what’s below and call 811 before digging.

How to Pick a New Door for Your Home (StatePoint) With so many choices abounding in home improvement stores and online, how do you know which is the right choice for you when selecting a new entry door for your home? These days, homeowners will likely be steered toward fiberglass or steel.While traditional wood is beautiful, newer materials are lower maintenance, and provide more durability, security and energy efficiency. When various factors are considered, here’s how each stacks up: BEAUTY Fiberglass most closely mimics the defined grain of authentic wood doors and comes in a number of textures like oak, cherry, mahogany and fir, as well as a variety of stain and paint colors. Options include decorative door glass and sidelites to improve curb appeal. Steel entry doors are available in smooth or wood grain textures in multiple stains and paint finishes, and come in a variety of styles, including some with glass. DURABILITY Unlike wood doors, fiberglass doors do not shrink, warp, split, crack or delaminate, making them ideal for harsh or humid climates. Because they last so long,
many come with long warranties. For instance, ProVia doors come with a Lifetime Limited Warranty that guarantees doors through the entirety of the ownership of the home by the door purchaser, plus one subsequent homeowner. Steel doors, particularly those made of 20-gauge steel like ProVia’s Legacy Steel line, won’t crack or warp and are the most durable on the market. MAINTENANCE Fiberglass offers the lowest maintenance, resisting denting and scratching, and can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Although generally low maintenance, if scratched through the galvanization layer, steel doors can rust if not properly primed and painted. Dents and dings can be pulled and puttied with an auto-body repair kit. SECURITY The solid construction of fiberglass entry doors provides significant security over wood doors. However, if you’re particularly concerned with home security, the strength of steel entry doors offer the best solution. ENERGY EFFICIENCY Both fiberglass and steel door systems are engi-
neered to be highly energy efficient. For example, the polyurethane core, Q-Lon weatherstripping and ComforTech Warm Edge Glazing System in ProVia entry door systems work together to keep cold out in winter and heat out in summer. Most of their doors are ENERGY STAR certified. In fact, the company is the only door manufacturer to have ever received any ENERGY STAR award for door manufacturing, winning the prestigious ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year award for Door Manufacturing four times and the ENERGY STAR Sustained Excellence award four times. COST Fiberglass doors can be comparable in cost to wood doors, depending on the model, glass options and hardware selected. However, fiberglass is a better financial bet in the long-term, offering longer durability and less maintenance. While total cost can vary widely depending on style and options chosen, steel entry doors typically cost less than fiberglass, offering significant long-term value. Before buying, consider your priorities -- whether its beauty, endurance or energy efficiency, opt for a door that best fits your needs. YOUR LOCAL AREA

V.I.C.E (Veterans In Construction Electrical) is a 560 hour classroom-based training program. Students spend the first two weeks of class honing their 21st Century essential skills, stress management and study skills, and later earn First Aid/CPR, Forklift, Scissor Lift and OSHA 30 certifications. In just 14 weeks students complete their first year of related supplemental instruction for the IBEW/NECA registered apprenticeship for Inside Wiremen. Most are dispatched to their first jobs within a couple of weeks after completing the V.I.C.E classroom program. Veterans who complete the V.I.C.E program don’t have to fight so hard for a job because the training prepares them well and is in demand by employers. V.I.C.E is an accelerated version of the first year of the registered apprenticeship training program operated by the Puget Sound Electrical Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (PSEJATC). Together, the JATC partners: the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA), and International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 46, designed the V.I.C.E. program to give Veterans a jump-start in the electrical industry. To be eligible for V.I.C.E, applicants must be 18 years old or older, have a valid driver’s license, high school diploma or GED, sealed high school transcript, honorable discharge within 7 years from application date, and proof of honorable discharge. The Puget Sound Electrical JATC is an apprenticeship training program that is jointly sponsored by the Puget Sound Chapter, NECA (National Electrical Contractors Association) and IBEW Local 46 (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers).

Kent’s best off to state showcase Royals’ Smith soars in pole vault; Kentwood, K-M qualify contingents BY MARK KLAAS
mklaas@kentreporter.com
PAY ‘N PAK CREW TALKS A reunion and lecture from the Pay ‘N Pak hydroplane racing crew is set for 7 p.m. Saturday at the Hydroplane & Raceboat Museum, 5917 S. 196th St., Kent. Admission is $10. Original crew chief Jim Lucero and crew members David Smith, Dixon Smith and Dave Culley will be on hand. The late George Henley, the smiling unlimited hydroplane driver from Eatonville, drove the boat to world championships and a pair of Gold Cup wins in 1974 and 1975. For more information, visit www. thunderboats.org.
He’s short and strong, quietly confident and athletically explosive. At 5-foot-3 and 140 pounds, Jahleel Smith believes he can scale great heights, even if it calls for clearing a bar placed precariously, 14 feet off the ground at the end of a pole vault runway. The undaunted Kent-Meridian High senior had little trouble climbing that height, matching a personal-best mark, and winning his specialty at the West Central District 4A track and field meet at French Field last Saturday. On an overcast, 60-degree day, Smith beat a strong field to qualify for the state championships that begin this weekend at Mount Tahoma High School in Tacoma. Smith likes his chances for a state placement this time around. He struggled but managed to clear 12 feet, 6 inches at last year’s state meet. He vows to be ready for this Friday’s showdown. “I honestly feel I can PR (post a personal record) at state,� said Smith, a two-time state-class wrestler who finished third in the 138-pound Mat Classic finals at the Tacoma Dome in February. “Because it’s going to be my last meet,
Kent-Meridian’s Jahleel Smith clears 13 feet, 6 inches during the West Central District 4A track and field meet at French Field last Saturday. Smith would later clear 14 feet, clinching the district crown and securing a ticket to state. MARK KLAAS, Kent Reporter I know I’m going to be (mentally prepared). Chances are I’m going to PR, do a lot better and place fairly high.â€? To get there, Smith has to reach higher. He tried but failed in three attempts to clear 14-6. “I felt I could actually get it,â€? Smith said. “It was my steps. I was on for my 14 (-foot clearance), but I was a little bit off on my 14-6 vault. ‌ (The missteps) kinda propelled me not to get in as a deep.â€? Joining Smith at Tacoma will be

Kentwood baseball loses at state Left-handed junior Mike Toglia tossed four-plus strong innings, allowing one hit, as Gig Harbor defused Kentwood 1-0 in a state Class 4A quarterfinal playoff at Tacoma’s Heidelberg Park last Saturday. Gig Harbor advances to play Newport of Bellevue in a state semifinals in Bellingham on Friday. The season ended for Kentwood, 21-5, the South Puget Sound League Northeast champion. Toglia didn’t allow a hit after the third inning and finished with seven strikeouts. Grant Sutton went 3-for-3, connecting on a home run for the game’s only run. Chris Hastings took the loss. Kentwood rolled in its first-round game, a 17-6 rout of Union earlier Saturday at Heidelberg. Mike Ciancio went 3-for-3, with three runs scored and an RBI. Isaac Hegaiman went 3-for-4, with three runs scored, and Ben Wadowski had two hits and drove in two runs for Kentwood. Jordan Jones earned the win.

He hopes to regain his top form for state. “My goal is to get up to 15 feet and try to get up with those guys,� said Philpott, sizing up a deep state field.

In full shade I can think of only two herbs that will thrive – many of the mints, including my personal favorite Chocolate Mint, and the woodland groundcover sweet woodruff.

Day of honor
Q. Are there any herbs I can grow in the shade?

The end of May is a good time to add herbs to the landscape and enjoy these fragrant, tasteful and useful plants as part of a low water use landscape or edible garden. Local garden writer Sue Goetz has written a book, “The Herb Lover’s Spa Book�, that highlights some of the best herbs to use in relaxing scrubs, facial rinses, bath water soaks and to create a garden sanctuary. This richly photographed book includes easy recipes for making a scalp tingle mint shampoo, an on-the-go face scrub with rose petals, lavender and calendula and many more herbal delights. Many of the most popular herbs such as lavender, oregano and thyme are originally from Mediterranean countries with long hot summers. This makes them great landscaping plants for rocky soil and sunny areas that you don’t want to water. One of the best things about growing lavender is that it will look its best if you never water it all. Rainfall alone is enough to keep lavender producing blooms and fragrant foliage in Western Washington. Here are the most asked herb growing questions:
Q. Can all herbs be dried and used in the winter? A. You can hang any herb plant upside down and dry the foliage but some retain their flavor and scent better than others. Use parsley, chives and coriander fresh when cooking as once dried these herbs lose their flavor. Many of the other common herbs such as basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, sage and tarragon are very easy to grow in a sunny spot and simple to dry and enjoy all winter. Harvest just before the plant begins to bloom for the most flavor. Mid-morning after the dew has dried but before the sun is hot is the perfect time to cut the tops off your herb plants and either place them in a food dehydrator or hang them from a line
in a dark, dry and warm attic. Old window screens are great for drying herbs as well. Just lay the cut herbs on top of the window screens in a warm, dry spot and make sure the area has good air circulation. Strip the dried leaves from the plants when they are very dry to the touch and store in air tight bottles. You’ll be on your way to cooking gourmet.
Q. Can you give me some tips on growing basil? I try not to plant it out too early but even when I wait until June, and grow my basil in a hot and sunny spot the plants seem to stop producing flavorful leaves by mid-summer. I do love fresh basil. Please help. J.H., Tacoma A. Basil can be a challenge to grow in Western Washington if you don’t meet the very specific needs of this delectable herb. There are many types of basil but they all demand warm soil and warm nights so don’t leave them

outdoors if the night temps will fall below 50 degrees. Basil also needs good air circulation in our climate to prevent the dreaded basil wilt disease. One of the most important tips is to pinch off all basil flowers as soon as the buds form. Once a basil plant blooms it will lose flavor and energy and take the rest of the summer off.
