Target store shooting could be self-defense over drug deal The shooting death of a Kent man at the Target store parking lot reportedly turned out to be a drug deal gone bad and a case of selfdefense. Boonnaiddhi Tang, 23, died from multiple gunshot wounds during the Sept. 30 dispute at the East Hill strip mall, according to the King County Medical Examiner’s Office. After two weeks of investigating the shooting death, Kent Police detectives determined they had no evidence to arrest the shooter. “We have identified and spoken with the two individuals in the shooter’s vehicle and based on the investigation we believe the deceased agreed to meet with the occupants of the Toyota Corolla for the purpose of a narcotic sale,” Kent Police spokeswoman Melanie Robinson said in an email on Wednesday. During the meeting at the parking lot, 26301 104th Ave. S.E., Tang allegedly

Green River College is seeking input from faculty, staff, students and the community for its new program prioritization process. The process will help the college improve its programs as well as save money as it faces a potential $4 million to $5 million budget deficit, said Derek Brandes, Green River’s vice president of instruction. The college has launched a website, grprioritization.org, to keep the community informed about its next steps. Green River has hosted two forums about the task and plans to have more. The action the college will use is loosely based upon the research and recommendations from “Prioritizing Academic Programs and Services” by Robert C. Dickeson. [ more COLLEGE page 9 ]

A new speed limit sign occupies the school zone at Carriage Crest Elementary. HEIDI SANDERS, over the past few years as more students have started walking to school along 140th. “With the increase of traffic on the road it has become more apparent that there is a problem,� Wick said. Wick said she and parents had been talking to the county about the need for the signs for more than a year, and Carriage Crest was 13th on the county’s list to get the signage. Frode Langelo, a parent who became aware of the need for the signs when his children started attending Carriage Crest last year,

started a GoFundMe account last month to raise money for the flashing signs. Last week, the county’s transportation department announced it would install and cover the cost of the signs. Switzer said a “wellintentioned (county) staff member� had suggested the fundraising to the parents, but that isn’t an approach the department takes. “When we become aware yesterday (Oct. 8) of this fundraising, we decided to step in to try to get school zone signs installed,� Switzer said.

Kent Reporter

The signs cost about $12,000, Switzer said. Langelo is pleased the county stepped in. “This is just wonderful,� he said. “We are just so happy, all of us parents who have been working on it.� Any donations made to the GoFundMe account will be refunded, Langelo said. He hopes drivers will slow down when they see the flashing signs. “A lot of people I have talked to have been driving there for years and years,� he said. “They didn’t even know the (old) signs were there.�

Getting to school will soon become safer for students and their families at Carriage Crest Elementary. The King County Department of Transportation last week installed two flashing speed limit signs in the school zone, just north and south of the Kent School District elementary, 18235 140th Ave. SE in Renton, which is between Southeast 192nd Street and Southeast Petrovitsky Road near Fairwood. The signs, which will flash when children are present to warn motorists of the 20 mph speed limit, should be operational in the next couple of weeks, said Jeff Switzer, spokesman for the King County Department of Transportation. Previously the school zone was marked with smaller signs indicating the school zone speed limit, but were not equipped with flashing lights. The speed limit on the five-lane road is 40 mph when students aren’t present. Carriage Crest Principal Susanne Wick, who has been at the school for 13 years, said cars speeding past the school has always been a problem but has become more of a concern

Man gets 95 years in prison for killing three men near Kent REPORTER STAFF

A judge sentenced a 40-year-old Lakewood man to 95 years in prison for the murders of three men whose bodies were found in March 2011 at a plant nursery near Kent. A jury convicted Alberto Avila-Cardenas in July on three

counts of first-degree murder with firearm enhancements for the fatal shootings of Jesus Bejar-Avila, 25, Yazmani Quezada-Ortiz, 26, and Cristian Alberto Rangel, 19. The co-defendant in the case, Jose Alfredo Velez-Fombona, 29, received a 10-year prison sentence. He pled guilty to second-degree murder for his role in the 2010 killings. Avila-Cardenas faced a sentence range 75 to 95 years in prison, which included the firearm enhancements. Velez-Fombona’s sentence range was

10 to 18 years. They were sentenced on Oct. 9 by King County Superior Court Judge Bruce Heller. The bodies of the three men were found March 10, 2011, by an employee of Rainier Nursery near the West Valley Highway, in the 26200 block of 65th Avenue South. The three men had been shot in the head and then buried. The victims were last seen leaving their jobs at a Lake Union wholesale florist in Seattle on Dec. 12, 2010. The motive for the killings ap-

ALZHEIMER’S TOWN HALL SET FOR OCT. 23 Residents can learn how people affected by Alzheimer’s will be helped by a proposed state plan to address Alzheimer’s at a Kent Town Hall from 2:30-4 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 23 at the Kent Senior Activity Center, 600 E. Smith St. The Alzheimer’s Association Washington State Chapter will host the town hall to help residents learn about the draft of the Washington State Plan to Address Alzheimer’s to be given to the Legislature in 2016. The draft plan is meant as a guide to help and resources for more than 100,000 individuals living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias in Washington. Caregivers like Todd Larson feel the strain and need for more support. Larson cared for his wife, diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at 45, for five years before she died last March. He will serve as a panelist for the Kent Town Hall to share his experience as a caregiver and advocate for increased support.

peared to be connected with a shooting in Lakewood that resulted in the death of two people and a foot injury to Avila-Cardenas, according to charging papers. It is believed that a cousin of Quezada-Ortiz may have been the shooter in the incident. Cellphone records of AvilaCardenas and Velez-Fombona show the two men traveled Dec. 12, 2010 to the Lake Union florist shop in Seattle where Avila-Bejar, QuezadaOrtiz and Rangel worked, and later brought them to the nursery area.

Residents can share their opinions on the Nov. 3 general election ballot about whether the city of Kent should ban fireworks. Proposition 1 is only an advisory vote to the City Council. The council will use the results of the vote to help determine whether to ban fireworks in the city. Any new ordinance passed by the council would not apply to the city’s Fourth of July Splash fireworks display at Lake Meridian or any other permitted display. The question on the ballot is: “Shall the sale, possession and discharge of consumer fireworks be prohibited in the city of Kent?” Numerous complaints from residents to the council over the last few years about fireworks going off in their neighborhoods before, during and after the Fourth

Breaking bad A driver lost control of a SUV and smashed into the Niemen Glass storefront at about 8:01 a.m. on Tuesday at 209 Central Ave. N., near East Smith Street.

of July caused the council to consider a ban. The city currently allows fireworks purchased at stands in Kent to be discharged from noon to 11 p.m. on June 28 and from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. on June 29 through July 4. “The personal fireworks situation in Kent is clearly unmanageable,” according to a voters’ pamphlet statement by the committee for the ban. “As one of the very few remaining cities in the area still allowing private use of fireworks, folks from surrounding cities come to Kent to discharge their fireworks.“ The committee against the ban wants no change in the law because illegal fireworks bought by people at Indian reservations are set off now and will continue. “The loud booms you hear, the pink sticks and other rocket debris that you find would still be common in spite of a ban,” according to its statement.

Call this Newspaper for Details

[4] October 16, 2015 [ ELECTION from page 1 ] Following are answers from candidates in the three contested races to questions emailed to them by the Kent Reporter: • Why are you the best person for the job? Bhullar: I am the best person to represent the residents because I have strong experience in business and as a community leader in solving problems collaboratively. I bring people together, which is why I’ve been endorsed by Democrats, Republicans and Independents. I am also the hardest worker in this race. I’ve been knocking on doors across the city since June to meet and hear from as many people as possible, so I’m prepared to represent their voice on council. Budell: I feel I am best for the job because I have a variety of real world experience balancing budgets and process improvement. I have worked in a variety of trades and have a strong team work ethic focused on the greater good. My desire to be the next City Council person is to help move the city forward while keeping the residents needs firmly in my mind. Fincher: Since becoming your council member, I’ve worked to make everyday life better for you. That starts with listening to you. You’ve seen me bring city hall to you, meeting you on your doorsteps, in your neighborhoods, at your businesses and in community meetings. You’ve also seen that I won’t let rigid ideology stand in the way of progress. My willingness to work together with people of varied backgrounds and interests and unite people to do what’s right is why I’ve earned the support of my colleagues and so many leaders on both sides of the aisle. Troutner: I have lived and raised my family in Kent. I have been more than a spectator in our community - volunteer-

www.kentreporter.com ing with the PTA, my church, Severe Weather Shelter and the Drug Free Coalition. During my campaign, I have knocked on the doors of and talked with nearly 4,000 residents. As a result of that, I will represent the true voices of our city. Allen: I am qualified because I have a proven track record of leadership, within our city and with various community organizations, which has helped me develop as a servant of the people. I can meet the demands, challenges and responsibilities with optimism, fairness and inclusion as we continually grow together. I believe that having a fresh, new voice in this seat will be a welcomed change for our city and it’s citizens. Thomas: I am the senior member of the City Council and the one with the most political experience. I have lived in Kent since 1950 and have been endorsed by the Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority. • Should the city help find a location for a 24-7 homeless shelter? Bhullar: We are a compassionate community in Kent and one that takes care of its neighbors when they are most in need and helps them get back on their feet. I believe the city should help find a location for a 24-7 shelter by conducting an assessment of possible locations, weighing the pros and cons and ensuring a transparent and public process. Before committing any city funds to such a project, I would want to look for resources and partnerships at the state and federal level while also reviewing our own budget to ensure we are using city resources as effectively as possible. Budell: I do think that the city should work with the nonprofits that are actively trying to tackle our homeless issue here in Kent and help them find a suitable location for a shelter that offers a variety of services to help address the underlying issues; counseling, recovery support, job skills and

transition programs to get them back in the mainstream. I think that having a shelter along either the I-5 corridor or West Valley Highway would be a better choice than in trying to place the shelter in a neighborhood or major commerce center. It would be best to have a large enough facility to let homeless who still have cars have a space and legal place to park them at night. Fincher: If a private, religious, or nonprofit entity seeks to open a shelter, the city should play a role in evaluating the suitability of its location. The shelter should be in a location that provides minimal impact to surrounding neighborhoods and residents, allows for adequate coordination and access to public safety and service providers, and ensures the safety, mobility and security of the population being served. I would suggest evaluating a location in the vicinity of the old Pay ’N Pak near 1200 Central Avenue South, across from Kent Municipal Court. Troutner: Once a property has been identified by KentHOPE, the city should assist in working through the permitting process. The shelter should be located in an area that is appropriately zoned and where public transportation is available. I will continue to foster the partnership and support the funding that the city currently provides to the churches and other agencies that are working to address homelessness. Allen: I do feel that the city should work with citizens and organizations who are providing solutions to homelessness, in and around our region, to help provide for the needs of those who really need assistance. No one should feel that they are the disdain or shame of a city, when there is no access to shelter, either part-time or full-time, day after day. How can we continue to welcome big business and corporations and consciously step over

• Should the city allow recreational marijuana businesses? Bhullar: We are still in the early years of marijuana legalization in Washington and I’d like to see more data to ensure that they do not have a negative impact on public safety or access for kids. If we do allow them, I would want to ensure that we have adequate health and safety measures and tight regulations on their locations and hours, for example. I do support allowing marijuana processing and production businesses in industrial areas of Kent, since this is an opportunity to generate much-needed revenue for the city without the risk to public health and safety. Budell: This subject has me torn. I fully support the medical marijuana dispensaries which the prior council forced out with the moratorium and successful lawsuit, and with the state rules since I-502 became law has the medical patients going out of town which is forcing more of a medical hardship on them. However, I don’t think that the majority of the residents are in favor of a recreational dispensary. I would support having a business within the recreational laws be allowed to open a shop that caterers only to the medical patient community. After watching my mother benefit from medical marijuana during her cancer treatments she was granted an additional three years of life, I know that it is more than just a drug to alter minds, it is medicine and the patients shouldn’t be treated like criminals. Fincher: Yes. I respect the will of the voters, and Kent voted in favor of allowing recreational marijuana businesses. I respect the caution that some people initially took because they wanted to make sure that the implementation went smoothly in other cities, as well as make sure we don’t incur any unforeseen public safety activity or costs. Now that these business have been fully implemented across the state, including on Kent’s doorstep, we now see that there is not an increase in crime or underage use across cities who have allowed recreational stores. When we have Kent residents who are unemployed, underemployed, are forced to endure nightmarish commutes to work, I don’t see enough information to justify the denial of 100 local jobs to Kent residents by preventing these businesses. Troutner: If the state were to increase the allocation of taxes that go back to the city, to make it consistent with other retail sales, the city should consider allowing recreational marijuana businesses. Allen: Yes. The time is out for being “stuck-in-the-days-gone-by” on this matter. Other surrounding cities are benefiting from the taxed revenue and

Kent should want to do the same. Not to mention the fact that the voters said yes to sales of recreational marijuana, I-502, in the state of Washington. Medicinal can be met without folks trying to figure out where they can go to get their products, safely. We should at least bring this item back to the table for another vote by the City Council. Thomas: Absolutely not. It has led to an enormous increase in DUIs in Kent and elsewhere. I feel the citizens of Colorado would never approve of their marijuana laws that they enacted several years ago again if put back on the ballot. • Kent is using banked capacity to raise property taxes higher than the annual 1 percent limit, is that a good plan? Bhullar: It is clear from watching the City Council and listening to the voices of residents that we need balance and fairness in our revenue system. We cannot simply rely on one form of revenue, whether it be property taxes or B&O taxes, to meet our obligation to be good stewards of our community. I do not support raising the property tax higher than the annual 1 percent threshold unless we can find a balanced approach that relies on everyone paying their fair share. Budell: I am not sure to be honest. The amount of the property tax increase for the homeowner with a $300,000 house value is about $20 additional a year, I would hope that this would only be a one time adjustment and that we can stay at the increase under the limit if we need to readjust tax revenue in the next four years. I think with the growth in our economy and an increase in the number of warehouses being constructed and filled in the warehouse valley we won’t need to raise taxes again. Fincher: Just because we can raise a tax doesn’t automatically mean that we should, particularly when it hits the budgets of working families. I plan to explore other available options to expand our tax base, before we ask for more from our existing tax base. Troutner: I do not agree with the current proposal to use banked capacity. It constitutes an increase in taxes. Allen: Most property owners are sick and tired of being the “wallet for the budget.” Taxes, taxes, taxes. However, using banked capacity would be a good step to take, on a graduated level, if it is to be raised higher than the annual 1 percent limit. This is an area which takes a lot of research and study and can probably be better answered by someone who has already been involved with this process as our mayor and as a current council member. RCW 84.55.092 is a great place to start in understanding this complicated process. Thomas: I haven’t made up my mind on this proposal by the mayor.

the needy? The south end or north end of Central Ave would be good places to start as far as location matters. Thomas: The city should help its faithbased and nonprofit organizations find and encourage locating a shelter perhaps in the industrial area of the city. • How should the city pay for park repairs? Bhullar: Improving city parks will be a high budget priority of mine as a council member. We must provide our city’s young people, families and seniors with safe and accessible recreational opportunities. Parks promote public health, keep kids playing and out of trouble and are used by all city residents. Budell: I would look to find funding for the park repairs by looking for sponsorship of several of our quality parks in town. Partnering with businesses that support our vision of a vibrant park system and encouraging our residents to get out and enjoy the variety of outdoor activities that our parks have to offer. Fincher: In a word: comprehensively. You’ve read many stories about how our parks system was designed for a population nearly half of Kent’s current size, how previous funding options have fallen through, and how our facilities are being worn out faster than we can repair them with a budget that covers only 10 percent of the annual need. We have devised a task force to recommend the most viable options to achieve financial sustainability, and I expect to see a comprehensive options presented to the council that provide the framework for a package to be put before voters. From my conversations with people, they’re open to supporting a ballot measure if they know there will be a responsible, proactive, and comprehensive approach taken to maintaining the parks, facilities and activities that they enjoy. Troutner: I believe the recommended budget adjustment for 2016 is a good start, but we have sustainability issues. The formation of a citizens committee for parks to explore funding options is one approach that I would support. Allen: After having conversations with a few citizens about this, I tend to agree with an idea of engaging members of all our different service organizations, (Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions) to come together as one major project to provide support, upkeep and restoration of our parks. These clubs already do great work in the community and typically have financial supports built in to their service model. Or, we could suspend the renewal of the Hogan Park field project and use the funds to pay for as much of our backlogged park repairs as possible. Thomas: A user fee may seem to be the most fair and equitable way to help pay for park improvements.

A recent guest column in The Seattle Times declared that if Washington’s elected officials don’t tackle the issue of reducing carbon dioxide emissions, then the people will. We would encourage its authors to spend some time speaking with “the people,” most of whom have been actively engaged in successfully reducing carbon emissions for nearly two decades. The innovative approach by Washington citizens, employers, employees, farmers and government is a model for collaboration and climate leadership, and it has established a clear and downward trend in Washington’s carbon footprint. The alternative to this proven path offered by the authors of the Aug. 11 column is a complex, top-down government approach intended to drive up the price of gas and home energy for families. There’s a reason legislators didn’t embrace this approach during the 2015 legislative session: they were listening to the people. Washingtonians value the environment; it’s a major reason why we choose to live here, and we’re motivated to protect it. So, reducing carbon emissions has been a priority for government, employers and everyday citizens long before the current efforts. Employers, partnered with their employees, have significantly reduced their energy use and carbon emissions through energy efficiency and new technology; commuters have chosen transit options, carpooled, and purchased low- or zero-emission vehicles. Because of our abundant hydropower, our electricity generation emits nearly the lowest amount of carbon dioxide in the country. All of these initiatives have given Washington the eighth cleanest state economy in the country, when measured by carbon emissions. All of these proactive, individual steps are producing impressive results. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s most recent data, Washington’s carbon emissions are now below 1990 levels. Our industrial sector alone has reduced its carbon emissions by 21 percent below 1990 levels. We’ve seen this happen up close. In October 2008, food processors from around the region agreed to voluntarily reduce energy intensity in their products by 25 percent over 10 years and 50 percent over 20 years. They are well on their way to achieving their initial benchmark. But, it’s not just food processing. The leadership shown in every sector has been inspiring – from new buildings with LEED certifications to commercial vehicles converting to low-carbon fuels. Those who say Washington businesses have an opportunity to lead in reducing carbon emissions [ more GUEST OP page 7 ]

Time to amend the Second Amendment I chuckled my approval when I saw that cartoon on the top page of the opinion section of the Oct. 9 Kent Reporter. I agree. Trash it. Amend, not amen to the Second Amendment. The antiquated words on this amendment have turned present-day America into the old days of the Wild Wild West. The NRA and its fanatic followers reasoned that we need to arm ourselves, so we can protect our families and ourselves from criminals, and from home invasion. But do we need battlefield weapons for that? I think only morons have that kind of reasoning. I am not totally against owning a firearm. I own a six-shooter, and to me that’s enough to protect my family and myself. Also, it’s not really the so-called “criminals,” who perpetuates mass killings. As we all know, it’s usually the mentally ill with access to weapons of mass killings. Weapons that the NRA and its followers believe and endorse that anyone in this country of ours can own. Because they – so wrongly – believe in the antiquated words and definition of the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. An amendment

Those days are long over. It’s time to amend the Second Amendment. It’s time to ban weapons of mass killings. And, if I may say, it’s also time to disband the NRA. It’s time to cut off the ownership of mass killing machines. Thank you for hearing me out. – Jesse Jose

Support a levy that’s good for kids, families In response to the “Best Starts for Kids is our golden opportunity” (Reporter, Oct. 9):

In today’s society, education is viewed as a necessity to building a better life and creating a future for oneself. Many of the reforms of the 1960s an 1970s were based on the recognition that students who are hungry, sick or worried about their families could not achieve as well as students who were free of these cares (National Association of Social Workers, 2009). Yet, the programs that are put in place to help such students are often the ones that are at risk for budget cuts when money is tight. The Best Starts for Kids levy will provide an opportunity for the youth in our community to succeed and build a positive future, despite the struggles students may face. This levy recognizes the need for community collaboration; cultural awareness is also an important piece. Families and students will benefit from strategies that are culturally appropriate and tools and support will be provided for families. When students do not receive much needed support, outcomes such as student dropouts may be a possibility. Students who do not finish school and drop out often have bleak futures. On average, a dropout earns less money, is more likely to be in jail, is less healthy, is less likely to be married, and is unhappier than a high school graduate (Messacar & Oreopoulos, 2013).

have not been paying attention – they’re already leading. The alternative policy framework being promoted by some in Washington would mirror Gov. Jay Inslee’s cap-and-trade tax proposal that failed to get any support in the Legislature. Why? Because it would raise the cost of energy for everybody and drive jobs out of the state. The governor’s own economists confirmed that his plan will increase the price of a gallon of gas by as much as 41 cents above projections over time and labeled it “regressive(1)� because of its disproportionate impact on low- and fixed-income households. The governor’s economists also estimate it will raise the price of natural gas by 16 percent above projections. This has a

Marijuana shop ads inappropriate In the Oct. 2 issue of the Kent Reporter, I noticed an insert advertising a marijuana shop. I don’t think it’s appropriate for a family newspaper to be promoting marijuana. Sometimes there is alcohol advertised in the

Campaign Grid of Washington, D.C., for digital advertising. Challenger Toni Troutner has raised $8,009 in her race against Councilwoman Brenda Fincher. Troutner has two contributions of $500 each and has spent $5,063, with a largest expense of $1,863 to Boruck Printing of Seattle. Fincher has raised

grocery advertisements too, and in both cases, I don’t think it is appropriate, but at least it is not banned by the federal government like marijuana still is. Many people my age, high school teenagers, do not realize marijuana is illegal for those under the age of 21. It is not legal for teenagers to consume, purchase or possess any amount of marijuana. This is similar to laws for alcohol and cigarettes, but with alcohol and cigarettes it is only a misdemeanor. With marijuana, if you have more than one ounce, you get a felony, not just a misdemeanor. We should be encouraging young people to make it to adulthood without legal problems, like felonies or anything that ends up on their permanent record. They could ruin their adult lives before they even start them. A felony is a serious charge. They lose many rights and privileges. For example, depending on the state, felons can’t buy a gun, they can’t have certain jobs (police, doctor, lawyer, pharmacist, teacher, nurse,

Thirty-three percent of recent female dropouts have given birth as a teenager, 13 percent of male and female dropouts are separated or divorced, and 22 percent report being unhappy (Massacar &Oreopoulos, 2013). High school dropouts are much more likely than their educated peers to become involved with the justice system; more than two-thirds of state prison inmates have no high school-diploma (Bloom, 2010). It is for these reasons that our community should support this levy. – Brittany Miller

Hira Singh Bhullar leads all Kent City Council candidates in raising campaign funds with a total of $40,650. Bhullar, in his first race for public office, has 11 individual contributions of the $950 maximum, according to the state Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) reports filed through Monday. He has spent $28,058 with the highest item $3,082 to Winpower Strategies for mailings. He has four entries at that price with Winpower. Tina Budell, who is running against Bhullar, has raised $16,867 and spent $14,521. She has one contributor at $950 and a largest expense of $1,750 to

direct impact on manufacturing. An independent analysis of the plan concluded that, if it were implemented, Washington would have an average of 56,000 fewer jobs each year than under current projections. How do we advance our shared goal of reducing global carbon emissions by driving employers from lowcarbon Washington into high-carbon jurisdictions like China or Texas that seemingly don’t care about their carbon footprint? We support the governor’s goal of reducing carbon emissions, but we differ on the solution.

www.kentreporter.com [ COLLEGE from page 1 ] “I think there will be other factors when it comes down to budget,” Brandes said. “This is just one tool.” As in the Dickeson model, Green River will divide the functions of the college into three pillars for evaluation — instructional services, student services and institutional support, Brandes said. The College Council, which is made up of representatives from various constituent groups on campus, will name a steering committee to oversee the prioritization process. The council will also appoint pillar committees, one for each pillar. Using rubrics, each committee will divide its programs into quintiles, with 20 percent of the programs falling into each quintile. Quintile one will have the highest ranking programs and quintile five the lowest ranking. “It is the quintiles that people have a hard time with because you are grouping them in rank,” Brandes said. “In higher education, the culture is that everyone is equal and we wouldn’t grade students that way.” Leslie Kessler, Instructional Council chairwoman, shared faculty concerns

with the new process during the college’s Sept. 17 board meeting, including comparing programs. Brandes said quintiles will be used as one part of the evaluation process. “Just because something is in one doesn’t mean it is automatically going to get more money,” he said. “Just because something is in quintile five doesn’t mean it is automatically going to get completely cut.” The evaluation process isn’t just about making cuts, Brandes said. “Although people focus on the cut part, a big part of it is how you allocate things to the things that you are doing really to help growth and a sustainable budget picture,” he said. When Washington State University went through a similar prioritization process, Brandes said, the result was reallocating funds to the School of Communications. “They decided to put more investments in that (communications) and elevated it to a college within WSU,” he said. “Two other colleges they decided to combine and right size. Instead of two deans they had one dean. Instead of two fundraising staffs they merged to one staff.” Brandes said he hopes

Green River can find similar solutions. “Are there opportunities for efficiency?” he said. “I think they are all around us. I am hoping that through collaboration as a campus community we are going to start seeing those. … Our objective is to strengthen the entire college not just specific programs and services unlike across the board cuts. We want to make sure the good things that we’re doing are fully functioning and operational. … My hope is that a lot of the gaps will be filled by the efficiencies and the ideas for revenue generation.” Another concern faculty presented at the board meeting was the short time frame for the evaluation process. The pillar committees are expected to finish their review of the programs by March so their findings can be turned over to a budget committee, which will make recommendations regarding efficiency and the quintiles. ”It is just a function of having to do the budget for the next year,” Brandes said of the quick turnaround. “If you have to make cuts that involve employees you have to give proper notice. We know we have to do something this year.”

Tahoma topples Kentridge for division swim title

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS WATER POLO TOURNEY COMING UP IN COVINGTON Kentridge High School boys water polo will host the third annual Kentridge tourney Saturday, Oct. 17, beginning at 5:15 p.m. at the Covington Aquatic Center, 18230 SE 240th St. Kentridge, Kentwood, Auburn and Bainbridge Island will compete in the tournament.

The South Puget Sound League 4A North Division girls swim title came down to the last meet of the season, as two undefeated teams - Kentridge and Tahoma - squared off on Tuesday. Tahoma came out on top, with a 116-70 win, securing the division title for the second year in the row. “That kind of thing doesn’t happen very often,” Tahoma coach Dave Wright said. “Usually the two best teams swim the middle of the season. The schedule is set up before the season starts so we have this big meet halfway through and then the rest of season is kind of anticlimactic but this was 8 and 0 against 8 and 0. You can’t script it any better than that.” Wright said he expected the meet to be close. “I thought that we had slightly more depth than they had so that was our advantage going in, but I had it planned it out to be within 10 points. It was going to be close, so whoever stepped up was going to win and I think we stepped up our team came through. We had best times all over the place.” More than 150 family members and supporters of both teams packed into the

Kentridge freshman Alyssa Miron dives off the blocks at the start of the 100-yard backstroke on Tuesday at the Covington Aquatic Center. She placed second in the event. COURTESY PHOTO, Tracy Arnold bleachers at the Covington Aquatic Center. Wright said he enjoyed the atmosphere at the meet. “It was needed for us, this big meet, because we hadn’t really had one up to this point,” he said. “We have had some meets where they didn’t get excited. It wasn’t this loud. This was standing room only up there. You don’t get that in swimming that often.” Tahoma senior Ashley Lewis, who won diving in Tuesday’s meet, said the team’s win was emotional. Lewis injured her foot last

week but was still able to compete in the meet. “I haven’t really been able to practice much so that made it even more nerve wracking,” Lewis said. “On top of it being the last meet and being undefeated and going against another undefeated team, it was pretty crazy.” Kentridge head coach Eric Kress said he knew the meet would be tough. “I definitely thought we had a chance,” Kress said. “It was the hardest time we had making a lineup, strategically trying to figure

out what girls swim what events.” Last year Kentridge lost to Tahoma and Mount Rainier. “This year we only lost to Tahoma, so in my book that is a big improvement,” said Kress, who was Kentridge’s assistant coach last year before taking over as head coach this season. Kress said despite Tuesday’s loss, the season has been a success. “We’ve had 16 girls qualify for leagues,” he said. “My goal at the beginning of the season was to try to get half

our team (qualified). We have 36 swimmers.” Kress said he hopes at least two more girls will make league times at the qualifying meet this weekend to reach his goal. “We have some girls that are pretty close to getting individual league times,” he said. Junior Haley Childress, one of the captains for the Kentridge team, said she was pleased with how well the team did this season. “We told everybody you should be happy because we came so far as a team,” she said. Childress, who took first place in the 100-yard butterfly and second place in the individual medley, said she is excited to see how the team will do next season. “We have had so much improvement so far this season, that next year no doubt, it will be really, really good,” she said. Kentridge freshman Alyssa Miron said she was nervous going into the meet. “I really wanted to do well, and I was hoping for all of my teammates be able to swim their hearts out,” she said. “I really wanted to get close or win or really just have a good time and I [ more SWIM page 13 ]

The Tacoma Stars have signed midfielder Jamar Beasley and forward Dan Antoniuk. Beasley and Antoniuk join the Stars as the club prepares to begin its first full season in the Major Arena Soccer League later this month. All 10 of the Stars’ home games are played at the ShoWare Center in Kent.

Time to plant, cover and store as the first frost arrives

Q. We have a big leaf maple tree in our yard that drops many leaves. Must I collect all these leaves from the lawn? I would rather just chop up the leaves when I mow and allow them to improve the soil. My wife insists

these fallen leaves will kill the lawn. Your opinion? R.T., Tacoma

A. The wife wins on this one.

THE GARDENER

Make your lawn happy by raking the large maple leaves before you mow. Not only will this allow sunlight to reach the lawn all winter but you can store the fallen leaves inside large plastic garbage bags and let them rot all winter to create wonderful leaf mold. Be sure to add a shovel of damp soil to the bag of leaves to provide the microscopic critters that will break down and transform the maple leaves. You must also poke holes into the plastic bag of leaves (I use a screw driver to do this) as air will speed up the decomposition of the leaves. Store the bags of leaves out of sight behind your shrubs or in a shed. In the spring you can spread this leaf mold on top of your beds to smother weeds and seal in moisture. Marianne Binetti

The third week of October is still a good time to plant spring blooming bulbs, add trees and shrubs to the landscape and to dig and divide overgrown perennials such as daylilies and hosta. After a first frost brows the foliage of cannas and tuberous begonias cut the top of the plant off at ground level and lift the bulb from the soil. You can store winter tender bulbs in a brown paper bag inside a garage or garden shed where the tubers will be cold but not freezing. If you plan on overwintering your geraniums or tender fuchsias, now is the time to move them indoors.

Need a shortcut? Rake the fallen leaves into your shrub beds just to get them off the lawn quickly. Trees and shrubs appreciate a blanket of fallen leaves – lawn grasses do not.

Q. What is the secret to keeping those big beautiful heads of ornamental cabbage and kale free of slugs? Every year my winter pansies and ornamental cabbage turn into lacework from tiny slugs. These baby slugs seem to hide in the folds of the cabbage leaves and slug bait does not work. P.S., Olympia

Q. When is it too late to reseed a lawn? Also I tested my soil where I will seed a new lawn and it is on the acid spectrum. What time of year should I add lime to make my soil less acid? N.W., Bonney Lake

A. Sounds like you need the slug melting, kitchen cupboard remedy of ammonia and water. Fill an empty Windex spray bottle with one-third ammonia (buy this at the grocery store) diluted with two-thirds water. Go out at night and spray the tiny slugs that feed on the cabbage. The ammonia will melt the slugs on contact. It will also act as a fertilizer as ammonia converts to nitrogen. The reason

A. First, I do not recommend seeding a new lawn after the middle of October unless you are a gambling gardener and can predict a warm, mild winter. Second, you will score a jackpot anytime you add lime to lawns in Western Washington as our soils are naturally acid due to the high rainfall. It is like doubling down on your bet as adding lime also makes the nutrients in the soil more available to the lawn grasses and lime helps to break up clay soil so it drains more quickly.

Lime also discourages moss from taking over the lawn. Add lime to old or new lawns any time of year, just not on the same day that you fertilize. Lime is not a fertilizer and will not give instant results but improves the soil gradually over time.

He said he could not find any property records with the King County auditor for Sanders. “I have visited her address, no answer at the door, no on-site manager and no name on mailbox,” Hanscom said in the declaration. “Her Facebook states she lives in Federal Way.” Sanders said in an email on Tuesday she lives in the district.
