City to return $221,750 grant for bicycle lane project BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com
It’s rare when a city returns grant money. But that’s what Kent will do with $221,750 it received to help
build a bicycle corridor along James Street. The money’s going back to the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) because city officials couldn’t find any other ways to help fund the $1.3 million project
to build bicycle lanes from the Interurban Trail near the ShoWare Center to Washington Avenue South. The City Council’s Public Works Committee voted 3-0 on Monday to approve a return of
the funds by Public Works Director Tim LaPorte to the PSRC. “It’s always best to return the money rather than have them take it from you,” said Mark Howlett, city design engineering manager, to the committee.
“The benefit is we can compete in future grant cycles.” Howlett said the city asked the PSRC, which distributes federal grants for transportation projects, [ more GRANT page 4 ]
Faculty unrest continues at Green River BY HEIDI SANDERS hsanders@kentreporter.com
As a new school year begins at Green River College, faculty members have not buried their old frustrations with the college’s administration. More than 50 faculty members attended the Sept. 17 Board of Trustees meeting. Among the attendees was former auto body technology instructor Mark Millbauer, who recently accepted a buyout from the college to end his employment after college officials in July, citing low enrollment and a budget shortfall, cut the auto body program.

Millbauer, who served as president of United Faculty, the faculty union, addressed the board before he turned the floor over to the new union president, Jaeney Hoene. “Today when I came to realize I was going to have this opportunity (to address the board) tonight, I thought about what does one say to their employer upon being dismissed,” said Millbauer, who worked at the college for 22 years.

It’s a symbol of Mexico’s freedom and Kent’s growing relationship with its neighboring country. In a gesture to strengthen the city’s ties with its Latino community, Mayor Suzette Cooke accepted a bronze bust of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a leader of the Mexican independence movement more than 200 years ago, in a ceremony Sunday at City Hall.

Gary Ridgway, known as the Green River killer, is coming back to prison in Washington from Colorado to serve his lifetime sentence. Ridgway, who lived in Auburn, pleaded guilty in 2003 to the murders of 48 women and later pleaded guilty to a 49th victim. He had been serving a life sentence at the Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla
before state Department of Corrections (DOC) officials transferred him to Colorado earlier this year. The DOC on Sept. 18 told the Federal Bureau of Prisons that it wants the serial killer returned to the Washington State Penitentiary, according to a DOC media release. The decision was made after concerns from law enforcement that they wanted Ridgway, the so-called Green River killer, easily accessible if they had future needs to interview him about open murder investigations. A relative of one victim also criticized the move because families had not been notified. Detectives from the King County
Sheriff ’s Office arrested Ridgway for the killings of the women, many who worked as prostitutes along Pacific Highway South. Advances in DNA technology led to his arrest in November 2001 outside the Kenworth Truck Co. plant in Renton, where he had worked for 30 years. The first victim was found in 1982 along the banks of the Green River in Kent. After consultation with Gov. Jay Inslee, Corrections Secretary Bernie Warner informed the Federal Bureau of Prisons that Washington state would be flying Ridgway back from the U.S. Penitentiary in Florence, Colo., according to the media release. Inslee had not been informed of

Twelve nonprofit organizations were selected from more than 100 applicants to receive $5,000 BECU’s People Helping People Awards. Three of the 12 additional winners were announced at the event. The Volunteer of the Year received $25,000. The BECU Employees Choice Award winner received $15,000, as did KentHOPE for the People’s Choice Award.

Ridgway’s transfer until it had been completed. Given the extraordinary circumstances of the case, Secretary Warner will notify victims’ families and consult with law enforcement before making any future changes in Ridgway’s incarceration. State law requires victims who live near the prison where the offender is moved to be notified. In this case there were none living in Colorado. The decision to transfer Ridgway to Colorado was made because of the high level of security and personnel needed to house him at the state penitentiary. Since his arrival in Colorado, he has been housed in a maximum custody cell by himself.

Paramedics transported Kuzmych, 25, to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where he later died. A passerby noticed a vehicle deep in the woods on the west side of 124th Avenue Southeast and called 911 at about 6:53 a.m., just at daylight, according to Kent Police spokeswoman Melanie Robinson. The exact time of the crash is unknown. Officers found two men inside a heavily damaged vehicle. An initial investigation shows that alcohol and speed may have been a factor in the accident, according to a police media release. Kent Police have released no other details.

And the campaign has turned into making people aware of all cancers not only breast cancer. “Early detection is the key to one having better treatments to catching it when it’s small and simple, and for recovery that is crucial,” said engineer Nikki Smith, who helps organize the cancer awareness campaign. “We support anything we can do to help promote that.” People notice the shirts when firefighters are out on the job. “The more we can get the public thinking about, ‘hey, if you have a spot and it’s growing funny, go get it checked, or, ‘if you have something that’s just not right, get it checked,’” said Smith, in her 15th year with the Kent Fire Department. People want to buy the T-shirt, too, but so far the foundation isn’t set up to sell shirts to the public. That’s something that might happen in the future to raise funds for cancer research groups. Friends and family of firefighters can buy shirts with proceeds going for cancer research or awareness, such as the Susan G. Komen group. During the first few years of the T-shirts, Smith said many firefighters weren’t too thrilled about wearing a pink shirt. When the foundation switched to blue shirts with pink logos, participation went up. Cancer hits close to home for the firefighters, another reason many don’t hesitate to campaign to fight it. “The national statistics say one in eight women will get breast cancer,” Smith said.

“The stats for firefighters say one in three will get cancer. It’s a lot more prevalent in our lives. We’ve had firefighters in our department get cancer and we just had a Renton firefighter die of cancer. We see it more and more, unfortunately.” With cancer striking firefighters, it makes many of them take notice of the disease. “I think it’s huge,” Smith said. “It makes us as firefighters aware that cancer can knock on anybody’s door not just one person or one demographic. We have firefighters that have cancer now and are fighting it. We have firefighters that have fought cancer and won. And we have firefighters who have not won. And with family members it’s the same way.” Kyle Ohashi, spokesman for the Kent Fire Department, said the administration supports the T-shirt campaign to raise cancer awareness. “As we’ve lost firefighters, it’s brought it home to everybody how indiscriminate that cancers are and all of us are subject to it.” Ohashi said. “Heart attacks are the number one cause of firefighters deaths but cancer is catching up because of what these guys are exposed to almost on a daily basis.” Three Kent firefighters in the last several years suffered line-of-duty deaths from cancer, Ohashi said. Marty Hauer died at the age of 41 in 2008 from cancer. “Marty was one of the most healthiest, fit guys you’ll ever see, so when they say cancer strikes anybody, it does,” Ohashi said.

Mel Roberts, chairman of the city’s Bicycle Advisory Board, told the committee he understood the decision to return the money but had hoped to see the bicycle lanes get built. “I’ve been looking forward to this and hoping it would happen so I’m disappointed it’s not happening,” Roberts said. “I encourage you to keep trying and even to make this little piece happen on the west end.

project, the PSRC would have required Kent to pay back the $221,750. “There is really no impact to the city as far as money,” Howlett said. “We have not spent any money so there is no money to pay back.” LaPorte said the city returned a $200,000 grant a few years back in connection with building a railroad-street grade separation at Willis Street, a project the city has since shelved. “This is not the first time we have had to return funds,” LaPorte said. Council President Dana Ralph wished the city had a better option. “It’s very frustrating but this has been a monthly conversation with the deadlines,” Ralph said. “We need to prove that money out there is actually being spent.

Despite the recent cuts, college officials anticipate additional cuts in the next year, as enrollment declines and the state changes the funding allocation for colleges. The college announced earlier this year that it would implement a new program prioritization process to identify areas where cuts can be made in three areas - instructional services, student services and institutional support on campus. Leslie Kessler, Instructional Council chairwoman, shared faculty concerns with the new process during the board meeting. “It seems to be an evaluation and ranking of programs with the end result being the elimination of programs and faulty and people in different departments rather than being a process where we look at how to improve programs and to use the resources we have to help those areas that maybe aren’t doing as well,” Kessler said.

“ ... As I thought about that, I realized it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter what I think. It doesn’t matter what I say. And therein lies the problem with Green River Community College. I think the signs on the wall back there (expressing faculty’s frustration) are just a teeny bit of the evidence of the atmosphere of … malaise, low morale, distress and unrest. And it has been going on for about five years. “You as a board always have, and you do have, the power to change that. You and only you. You have not done that at this point. ... You have a lot of challenges to face, and if you rise up to those challenges, you can change the atmosphere of this college.” Some faculty members held up black-and-white pictures of Millbauer as he spoke or at any mention of the new trades building, which would have housed the auto body program in addition to other trades programs. Tension on campus has been high ever since late April, when the college announced the potential elimination of auto body and three other programs. Parent-child education and carpentry were spared when faculty came forward with cost-saving measures. Geographic information systems was also cut owing to low enrollment, but instructor Sabah Jabbouri will remain at the college as he teaches out the program for students already enrolled. Millbauer said he was appalled by the decision to cut the auto body program, just as the new trades building
members are concerned the proposed time frame for the evaluation process is too short. “We have found evidence that supports our feeling that six months is just not adequate to do a thorough job,” she said. “Most colleges, the ones we have looked at, have spent at least a year, and some have spent two years to complete this process.” Kessler said she and other faculty would like the college to take the time to do things correctly. “Let’s use the expertise of the faculty, staff and administrators on campus and make it a collaborative, collegial process that brings people together rather than pitting one program against another, which is a big concern of the faculty. And that is what we see this as, that you are competing against each other to not be in the fifth quintile, which you know you are in trouble if you are in that one,” Kessler said. Ely responded during the president’s report later in the meeting. “When you look at his new program it will involve people, Ely said. “I hope that faculty realize because there are pillars and one of the pillars is instruction, we are looking at faculty being intricately involved in identifying how that criteria is measured. It’s not that we are pitting one program against another; it’s that we are looking at the programs and doing program assessment.”

Being taxed out of my home More money for the Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority (RFA) by charging developers “fire impact fees?” I am a 78-year-old lifetime Kent resident being taxed out of my home. It is logical that it will be necessary for developers to pass those “impact fees” onto homebuyers/taxpayers. Firemen came knocking on my door, assuring me that if the RFA were approved, costs would go down. Shortly after the RFA implementation, my $500-per-year fire protection property tax was increased another $500 to a total of $1,000 a year. I have built and lived in three homes on 96th Avenue South for 58 years, and am not aware of even one fire in that time.

Sleep is important. Obviously. I think we all know that. But so many adults these days don’t get enough quality sleep. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 30 percent of adults reported getting less than or equal to six hours of sleep per day between 2005-2007.

Now that I am retired and not earning, I am truly being taxed out of my home. There are now dozens of new homes on 94th and 96th Avenue South since I started living here, and I am sure they also are paying $1,000 per year. Driving past the Benaroya
Consider these tips for a better night’s sleep I hit the snooze button way too often. Last week I’m pretty sure my average times for resetting my alarm to a later time was six. Each morning I would wake up six times to reset my alarm, just to get five more minutes of sleep each time. That’s insane.
buildings on the East Valley Highway, I see literally dozens of non-fire or EMT vehicles, which must be driven by the fire bureaucracy that probably doesn’t take direct part in firefighting. We taxpayers pay for them, but what do they contribute? I have the utmost respect for the dangerous occupation of firefighters. Let’s get rid of the fat and pay them more. – Monte Fugate

Question of the week:
Spirited. Engaging. Tight. It’s what to expect in an election year as candidates pursue big, powerful seats in office. Secretary of State Kim Wyman knows as much. The state’s chief elections officer and her staff have been busy behind the scenes, preparing the stage for voters in what promises to be an interesting and contentious 2016 campaign, nationally and locally. Historically, turnout is high when an open-seat U.S. presidency is up for grabs. In Washington, a probable two-horse race between the Democratic incumbent, Gov. Jay Inslee, and Republican challenger Bill Bryant, should stoke a strong statewide vote. “We’re going to see a huge year across the board,” said Wyman, on a visit to the Reporter office in Kent last week. “We expect a record-breaking turnout, which is exciting.” But Wyman, a Republican who will be busy seeking reelection next year, is reluctant to endorse anyone right now. For voters, the Republican race remains too cluttered, the Democratic race too tentative. “I’ve got a couple of front-runners (in mind), but it’s still too early,” Wyman said. “Keep in mind, people, we’re four or five months out from (the) Iowa (Caucuses). It’s still early. … A lot’s going to happen between now and say, June.” Between now and then, Wyman’s office will work to get the vote out, with the emphasis on reaching the underserved masses, namely military personnel overseas, the minority language communities and those with special needs. It’s a challenging process, but one Wyman’s office has improved in recent elections. One thing that won’t change next year, however, is the positioning of the state primary.
The CDC also states insufficient sleep is related to chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, depression and obesity.

it’s nearly impossible for us to shut everything down in a timely manner to actually fall asleep, stay there, and feel well rested enough to wake up on time.

when it’s dark outside, right? Like most normal humans. So, when you go to bed, leave your curtains open. I’ve found the more gentle light of the sun (my bedroom faces west) helps me wake up easier and, more importantly, in-between REM (rapid eye movement) cycles. If I’m in a deep sleep, the sun usually won’t wake me up, but during my light sleep, it does. 3. No caffeine right before bed I think that’s a given, right? Do I need to explain this?

vote with conscience. I speak, of course, of Planned Parenthood funding. Now, this is not about whether you are pro-life or pro-choice. It is about the dogma of potentially shutting the government down for the second time in three years – this time on unproven and uninvestigated allegations. In response to a letter to Reichert, he stated: “As a former sheriff, and now as a member of Congress. … Just as I spent my career as a cop upholding the laws of our communities, I have the same responsibility as your representative in Congress, and that is why as more information about the videos and Planned Parenthood’s practices becomes available, I will carefully review the facts to ensure our federal laws have not been
Wyman said. “Our main goal should be giving a voice to the broadest possible swath of the electorate.” As Wyman sees it, voters win with the more inclusive primary election. From her perspective, the election is meaningful, and much more tangible than a poll or survey. “This isn’t about the parties; this is about voters and giving them a voice to vote in a way that they are used to in an election,” she said. “It does mean something. “What the parties do with the results is a secondary thing. What matters is

‘Beauty contest’ Skeptics claim the primary – which many deride as an $11.5 million beauty contest – won’t have much affect on how voters here choose a presidential nominee. Wyman urged lawmakers to require the parties to – at least partially – consider results before funding the election, but her request was ignored. Instead, lawmakers funded the election with no mandate that it actually count for something – anything.

But the May primary stuck. Wyman is optimistic the primary will be relevant late into the campaign season. Combined with late primaries in California, Oregon and Washington, there may be a greater probability of candidates visiting our state and talking to voters, Wyman said. “We could have a couple of candidates on both sides still in play by May,” she said. “I know we have a history by May that it’s already decided. … I don’t think you can make that assumption about ’16. I could be wrong.”

violated.” Well, the investigations have hardly begun, yet Reichert with his law background and legislative responsibility has decided to align himself with the ready-fire-aim mob rule; discarding his own statement to the contrary. That’s right, these are as yet unproven allegations. Are they pervasive? Well, we know that the Kent clinic in Reichert’s own district does not perform abortions – yet he still votes to eliminate the entirety of federal funding for all PP clinics. So, we should persecute all clinics over the allegations against, at best, a few. Certainly not the kind of person I would want on a jury. – James Dillon

Bar security stopped the man and escorted him outside because he appeared very intoxicated. Outside the bar, the man reportedly tried to fight with a bouncer, who used pepper spray on the man. A woman helped the man recover from the spray by buying milk from a nearby store and pouring it into his eyes because the milk helps remove the sting. But the man remained upset and punched a hole in the back window of a nearby vehicle. The man fled the area to a nearby apartment complex.

A witness called 911 to report the fight. An officer who responded recognized the couple from a prior verbal domestic dispute a few months ago in a public area, according to the police report. The woman told police they were arguing about a friend of hers who owed money to her boyfriend. A witness said the woman hit the man, kneed him hard and pushed him. The boyfriend agreed the dispute was about money owed to him. He wouldn't tell officers if the woman hit him or not. The two live together and have dated for more than a year.

Officers arrested a man and a woman for investigation of attempted theft after they reportedly tried to take tires out of a trailer parked at the Les Schwab Tire Center, 758 Central Ave. N. A witness saw the pair taking the tires at about 5:35 p.m. on Sept. 12 after the store had closed, according to the police report. The couple drove up in a truck. The man had a crowbar as he walked up to the trailer but apparently the lock already had been broken off as he opened up the doors and began to remove tires. The man claimed they had permission to take the tires. But police contacted the store manager who said nobody had permission to take the tires.
Opening 17 miles of express toll lanes on I-405 between Lynnwood and Bellevue is a step to reducing congestion on the Eastside. The long-term vision includes a 40-mile express toll lane system between SR 167 at the Pierce/King County line and the I-405/I-5 interchange in Lynnwood. COURTESY MAP, WSDOT
I-405 express toll lanes to open BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
Starting Sunday, a 17-mile stretch of Interstate 405 between Bellevue and Lynnwood will join State Route 167 southward from Renton as two freeways where motorists can pay a toll to speed them on their way. To get ready for the launch, starting Friday the state Department of Transportation will close two lanes in both directions of I-405 between Bellevue and Bothell to finish striping the lanes. Toll rates set by the Washington State Transportation Commission will adjust based on traffic congestion to keep the express toll lanes moving at 45 mph or faster. The SR 167 HOT lanes – the state’s first-ever, high-occupancy toll lanes using the Good
To Go! pass – opened in May 2008 between Renton and Auburn as a pilot project to test whether variable tolling will make state roads more efficient and less congested. Any existing Good To Go! pass will work to pay a toll in the express toll lanes on I-405, but only a Flex Pass will allow three-person carpools to declare HOV status and ride toll-free, according to the transportation department. The toll minimum is 75 cents and the maximum is $10, though 90 percent of tolls will be less than $4, according to transportation officials. “We need to be serious with our drivers,” said Craig Stone, the assistant secretary for the transportation department’s Tolling Division, [ more LANES page 10 ]

Here are the differences between the new Interstate 405 express-toll lanes and the SR 167 HOT lanes, as explained by the Washington State Department of Transportation. • Carpool requirements: On SR 167 vehicles must have two people to use the HOT lane toll free. The I-405 express toll lanes require three occupants during peak periods from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays, and two-person carpools will be allowed to use the lanes toll-free at other times. • Photo-tolling: SR 167 solo drivers must have a Good To Go! pass to use the HOT lanes – we can’t take a photo of the license plate so we can’t mail them a toll bill. On I-405 express toll lanes, anyone will be able to pay a toll to use the new I-405 express toll lanes. Just like SR 520, if they don’t have an account, we will take a photo of their license plate and send them a bill in the mail. • Passes: SR 167 carpools don’t need a Good To Go! pass to travel toll-free in the HOT lane. To ride toll free in the I-405 express toll lanes, carpools must have a Good to Go! Flex Pass in HOV mode and an active Good To Go! account. The Flex Pass is the only pass a driver will need because it works to pay the toll on all facilities and will allow carpools to ride free in the express toll lanes and the HOT
• All Northeast 128th direct access ramps will be closed. • During late evening and early morning hours, I-405 may be reduced to one lane in each direction at SR 520 and SR 522. • Drivers should plan ahead or reschedule trips to
avoid delays. The striping work is weather dependent; a delay would affect Sunday’s opening of the express toll lanes. The latest information is available at the I-405 construction updates page, tinyurl.com/68bzjsf.

said in a news release about buying passes. “This is crunch time to get ready for Sept. 27. We want people to take action.” Information about purchasing a Good To Go pass or a free Flex Pass is available online at www. wsdot.wa.gov/Tolling/405. If drivers don’t qualify for a free Flex Pass, they can still buy one for $15 at GoodToGo.com or by calling 1-866-936-8246 State transportation officials are urging motorists to use alternative routes to I-405 this weekend to avoid the striping project and the expected congestion. “Nearly a quarter of a million people use I-405 every weekend, and we need every one of them to plan ahead before they get on the road,” said Lisa Hodgson, the transportation department I-405 project engineer, in a news release. “Whether they’re headed to a game at Husky Stadium or CenturyLink Field, drivers should plan for delays and use alternate routes to make sure they arrive before kickoff,” she said. The closures of two lanes in each direction start at 11 p.m. Friday between I-90 in Bellevue and Northeast 195th in Bothell. The closures are expected to end at noon Sunday and the express-toll lanes will activate. Here are the details: • All Northeast 6th direct access ramps will be closed.
Lanes. Customers who request or purchase a Flex Pass should register the pass with an existing or new Good To Go! account, remove their old pass from the windshield and they will be Good To Go! If you are an existing Good To Go! customer with a switchable pass, which was offered for carpooling on SR 167 HOT lanes, you can get a free upgrade to a Flex Pass. The switchable pass was designed with an on-and-off switch for the SR 167 HOT lanes. While it will work to pay the toll in the express toll lanes, it will not provide a free trip for carpoolers in OFF mode. Only the Flex Pass allows carpools to travel toll free in the express toll lanes. Good To Go! customers with switchable passes can email goodtogo@goodtogo.wsdot.wa.gov or call 1-866-936-8246 to get a free Flex Pass as a replacement. Good To Go! will mail you a Flex Pass and deactivate your switchable pass within 30 days. • Hours: SR 167 HOT lanes are free and open to all between 7 p.m. and 5 a.m. I-405 express toll lanes will operate 24-hours a day with tolls and carpool requirements. • Access: SR 167 HOT lanes use a single stripe allowing drivers to enter and exit the HOT lane at almost any point. I-405 express toll lanes will have limited entrance and exit points. These access points will have a dash or break in the double white lines, which are illegal to cross.

Green River College student fights fires in Eastern Washington BY HEIDI SANDERS hsanders@kentreporter.com
Keith Beasley, a sophomore at Green River College and specialist in the Washington National Guard, fought fires in Eastern Washington the past two summers. Courtesy Photo
Keith Beasley of Renton started his sophomore year at Green River College on Monday knowing that he had made a difference this summer fighting fires in Eastern Washington. The 21-year-old specialist in the Washington National Guard spent 25 days in August and September as a squad boss of 24 soldiers on the front lines of the Lake Chelan complex fire. Last summer, Beasley was in Eastern Washington for three weeks fighting the fires, which gave him the experience to be in a supervisory role this year. “I want to help people,” Beasley said of his motivation to volunteer to fight the fires. “That was the main thing, just help people. I wanted to step up and do something big. I figured this is my opportunity.” Beasley shared his experience with about 200 incoming students at Green River’s Welcome Day on Sept. 17 and then again at the college’s Board of Trustees meeting
later that day. After his introduction, board and meeting attendees gave Beasley a standing ovation. I didn’t expect that,” Beasley said of the acknowledgment. “I did not expect that at all. I thought I was just a guy just doing his job. I didn’t know they saw it as someone being a hero.” Beasley joined the National Guard at his father’s suggestion after he graduated from Hazen High School in Renton in 2013. “He (Beasley’s father) said, ‘It is a good benefit. Instead of going to school, why not serve at the same time and help people?’” Beasley recalled. After attending bootcamp at Fort Benning, Ga., Beasley enrolled at Green River College, where he is now a two-sport athlete, competing in cross country and track. “That wasn’t the plan at first,” Beasley said. “When I was in basic training people noticed I can run.” Beasley, who ran track and cross country in high school, was encouraged to get a track scholarship and run at the college level.

“I took their advice and decided to go to Green River, since it is the closest school that has a track program.” Beasley missed the start of the cross country season while he was in Eastern Washington, but he said fighting the fires helped him stay in shape. “They gave us heavy boots and packs to carry,” he said. “We did a lot of walking. We had to walk in the sand and in the dirt at 3,500 feet. It keeps you in good shape.” Beasley said if given the opportunity, he would like to run track or cross country at a fouryear school. He said he plans to graduate with an associate degree from Green River in the spring and would like to transfer to the University of Washington to study communications. Beasley said he has enjoyed his time at Green River College, especially the chance to meet new people. “In order to change yourself, you have to change your surroundings and meet people you haven’t met before,” he said.

The Seattle Ravens, a new U.S. junior hockey team in Kent, plans to give local teens a chance to improve their skills by playing at a higher level. Andrew Bell, 15, of Auburn, and Ben LehfeldtEhlinger, 18, of Renton, are grateful for the opportunity. “For me to play locally is a huge thing,” said Lehfeldt-Ehlinger, a senior at Lindbergh High School in Renton. “I know I could have gone other places and played and done fairly well, but for me it is the friend group (here), and I love Seattle.” For Bell, leaving the area to play isn’t really an option right now. “I’m 15,” said Bell, a student at Auburn Riverside High. “My parents are not going to send me away. It isn’t going to happen. There aren’t too many options to play this high of level locally.” The Ravens are one of seven Northern Pacific Hockey League (NPHL) teams throughout Washington and Oregon. About two-thirds of the Ravens roster is composed of local talent, said Ravens general manager Adam Speer. “They come from everywhere, from Puyallup to Seattle, Issaquah to North Bend,” Speer said. “They are really some of the best young players that grew up in our region.” The Ravens take to the ice Friday for their opening game against the Eugene Generals at the Kent Valley Ice Centre, 6015 S. 240th St. The Ravens face the Generals again on Saturday. Both games start at 6:35 p.m. Tickets are $6 for adults and $3 for students and se-

Ask Your Lawyer Joint tenancy is a form of ownership in which two or more persons own an asset jointly. Upon the death of one, the ownership of the asset is presumed to pass to the surviving joint owner(s) without probate. Sometimes joint tenancy is useful. But it may be inconsistent with the provisions of the Will and create uncertainty or conflict after death. In other cases, joint tenancy can disrupt a plan to minimize estate taxes. Protect your right to distribute your estate as you intend in a cost-effective manner. Consult an estate planning attorney.

from Indiana two years ago, he met Speer, who told him about the Ravens. The Kent Valley Ice Centre has been Bell’s home throughout his hockey career. He played club hockey under Ravens coach Danny Lorenz. “For the past few years, Adam and Danny have talked about starting a junior team here, and it started to become a reality when our core group at Kent started getting older,” Bell said. The Ravens is a developmental team similar to the Seattle Thunderbirds but at a lower level. The NPHL is a Tier III league in U.S. junior hockey. The Thunderbirds play at the ShoWare Center and in the Western Hockey League, a part of the major
junior level of the Canadian Hockey League, or the equivalent of Tier I U.S. junior hockey. Tier III hockey is geared toward younger players who hope to develop their skills to go on to play at the college level or at a higher tier in the junior hockey system. Lehfeldt-Ehlinger, a defenseman, hopes to play collegiately after his stint with the Ravens. “My dream is to play for the Air Force Academy,” he said. “I want to be in the military.” Bell, a forward, wants to work his way through the junior hockey ranks, “I would like to go play some junior hockey in Canada, B.C.,” he said. “I have some relatives up there.” But for now, both young men are focused on making the Ravens first season a success. “I think an above-.500 record would be a pretty outstanding goal,” LehfeldtEhlinger said. “It will give us a benchmark of where we could line up with other teams.” Bell said he thinks this year will be centered on building the team and adjusting to playing at a higher level. Only two Ravens have played junior hockey. “I think this year is going to be geared toward developing a core group of players for this team,” Bell said. “We have a lot of guys who will probably be here for one or two seasons, which will help,” LehfeldtEhlinger added.

Tacoma Stars sign three soccer players FOR THE REPORTER
The Tacoma Stars have signed defender Cory Keitz, striker Tyrone Hall and midfielder Joseph Cairel. The Stars continue to fill out their roster in advance of the team’s first full season in the Major Arena Soccer League. Tacoma will play home games at the ShoWare Center in Kent. Tacoma opens its season Oct. 24 at the Dallas Sidekicks. Keitz, 26, spent the last two seasons with the Kitsap Pumas, where he earned all-league honors as a defender in the Premier Development League. He was an instrumental part of a Pumas squad that won the PDL Northwest Division two years in a row and made the national finals in 2014. “Cory is an excellent defender with the ability to
create scoring chances from the back with one pass,� Stars coach and general manager Darren Sawatzky said. “I think he is underrated and we expect him to be a big part of the MASL season.� “When Darren approached me about playing for the Stars, I knew nothing about the club because I am from Michigan. As I began to learn about the club’s history it was an easy decision to sign with the Stars,� Keitz said. “From the owner down through the coaching staff, the Stars are first class and I look forward to getting to work with the guys and growing the club with the support of the community.� Hall, 31, comes to the Stars with extensive professional experience, including time spent playing internationally. He began the 2014 indoor season with the
Ontario Fury of the MASL before leaving to compete in Finland. Hall also played for the Pennsylvania Roar of the Major Indoor Soccer League. “We found Ty through our network of people in the game and he represents a strong athlete looking for a chance to move to the next level,� Sawatzky said. “It will be exciting watching him grow here and score goals for our fans in Tacoma.� “I’m extremely thankful to be able to continue my career with a great organization,� Hall said. “I look forward to meeting my teammates, picking the brain of Coach Sawatzky, and contributing to a great upcoming season.� Cairel, 24, spent the past summer competing with the Burlingame Dragons in the PDL. The Sounders U-23 club,
coached by Sawatzky, eliminated the Dragons in the 2015 Western Conference semifinals. “We played this summer down in Tucson with the Sounders U-23’s and I was able to see Joseph play in a very competitive game at a high level,� Sawatzky said. “He is a tireless worker with an incredible will to win.� “I am very excited to be a part of the Tacoma Stars organization and its great history,� Cairel said. “I’m determined to bring something new to the team this season.� For tickets and more information, go to tacomastars.com. The most up-to-date news and notes about the Stars leading up to the start of the 2015 season can be found by following the Stars on Twitter (@ TacomaStarsSC) or liking the team on Facebook.

Time to gather, share fresh vegetables, tend to other things It is harvest time in the vegetable garden so keep picking ripe tomatoes, cucumbers and summer squash. Share fresh produce with your local food bank if you’re lucky enough to have a bumper crop. The hot summer weather was great for growing tomatoes, basil, peppers and corn but berries and leafy crops suffered in the heat. Cut back the canes of raspberries that are turning brown as these bore berries this summer. Tie the new green raspberry sprouts to horizontal supports as these will bear fruit next summer. Spread a mulch of wood chips, manure, compost or bark chips on top of the soil to keep the weeds out and the moisture in.
Q. Why does the end of my tomatoes turn black and start to rot? I have grown them in the same sunny spot for several years and never had this problem. P. Enumclaw A. Sounds like blossom end rot, a tomato disease that strikes when the soil is lacking in calcium or when watering is inconsistent. Growing tomatoes in the same spot will suck the calcium right out of the soil so be sure to amend your soil this fall with lime or another form of calcium. Blame the hot weather for many cases of blossom end rot this summer as the sun dried the soil quickly in early summer before many gardeners had established the habit of daily watering. Tomatoes like soil that is consistently moist or they will adapt to somewhat dry soil, but do not like dry soil

followed by lots of water. Next year use mulch on top of the soil to seal in moisture and prevent inconsistent watering.
Q. How do I know when my pattypan squash are ripe? B, email A. The unusual shaped pattypan squash is ripe when the color is light yellow and most flavorful when 4 inches or less in diameter. Harvest all summer squash such as zucchini before we are hit with a hard frost. THE GARDENER

Q. When should you harvest corn for the sweetest flavor? A. Give corn the fingernail test. Peel back the husk with the corn still on the stalk. Pierce a kernel with a thumbnail. If the liquid is clear, give the corn more time. If it is thick and creamy it is overripe. When the kernel leaks liquid that is the color and consistently of milk you’ve got a sweet harvest. Flavor is best when picked in the late afternoon and used within one hour of picking. Keep ears cool if you cannot cook them the same day as the harvest. A patch of corn can be harvested at the peak of ripeness for one to two weeks depending on the weather and the variety. Q. How do I know when my purple eggplants are ripe? This is my first summer for growing this beautiful plant. T.P., Kent A. Eggplant loved our unusually hot summer. A bigger eggplant is not a better eggplant however so harvest when the fruit is 4 to 6 inches in diameter. The peak of ripeness is when The purpose of the program is to train volunteers in environmentally sound, research-based gardening practices. Training will be on 12 consecutive Saturdays from January through March. Class sessions are at the Center for Urban Horticulture on the UW campus, 3501 NE 41st St., near University Village in Seattle. Parking is free. Some course work is done online and some is

the skin is shiny and deep purple. If the skin looks dull and the seeds are brown the eggplant is overripe.
Q. How can I make the green tomatoes turn red before winter? T., Email A.. You can uproot an entire tomato plant and hang it upside-down by the roots in a garage or shed and as long as the tomatoes stay dry they will continue to ripen. You can also collect the green tomatoes that are ripen enough to have a darker green starshaped area on the blossom end of the fruit. Store these indoors with good air circulation in a dry spot. Green tomatoes do not need sunlight to turn red as long as they have the green star stage. If you protect your tomato plants from the rain and cold with plastic covers or by growing them under the eaves of the house, they will continue to ripen rather than rot on the vine.
