Cooke raves about ShoWare in State of the City speech BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com
Kent Mayor Suzette Cooke sang the praises of the ShoWare Center during her annual State of the City address Wednesday at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon at Meridian Valley Country Club. Cooke pointed out that there’s been a lot of talk about the city-
owned arena losing $1.3 million during its first three years of operation. But she added it’s because of the arena that Kent attracted a major event such as the Skate America figure skating competition last fall that attracted about 15,000 visitors. “When you look at events like this and what it brings in – this was a special event unlike the Thunderbirds (hockey team) and regular
events that keep our economy going – it brought in $460,000 over three days and (look at) how much that eats away at a $750,000 annual loss,” Cooke said. “I think that’s pretty amazing.” Cooke said more than two million television viewers tuned in to NBC to watch the Pandora Unforgettable

Pilot who crashed plane that killed Kentlake swim coach was intoxicated, NTSB report says BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com
The pilot who crashed a Cessna 172 plane last year into Mount Si in North Bend that killed himself and both passengers, including Kentlake High School swim coach Seth Dawson, was intoxicated, according to a factual report issued by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Pilot Rob Hill, 30, swim coach at Federal Way’s Decatur High School, had a blood alcohol level of 0.15 percent, according to the report issued last month. The Code of Federal Regulations prescribed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) prohibits civil aircraft pilots from flying if their blood alcohol level is 0.04. The FAA’s Civil Aeromedical Institute in Dawson Oklahoma City, Okla., performed toxicology tests on Hill. NTSB investigators determined that “the on-site examination of the airframe and engine revealed no evidence of a mechanical malfunction or failure with the airframe or engine prior to impact,” according to the factual report. Elizabeth Redling, 29, of Federal Way, also was killed in the Feb. 15, 2012 accident. The three were on a “personal sightseeing flight,” according to the report. The plane crashed at about 1:54 a.m. after leaving the Renton Municipal Airport at

KENT WOMAN CLEANS UP CANCER, ONE HOME AT A TIME BY MICHELLE CONERLY mconerly@kentreporter.com
Tiffany Janibagian decided that if she were to start her own business, she’d better do her research. Scanning websites, anyone could have missed the small, pink ribbon in the corner of the screen – but not Janibagian. That small symbol made a big
difference to a woman who lost her grandmother to cancer almost 15 years ago. Now, running her own business out of her home on the East Hill of Kent, Janibagian believes wherever she is, her grandmother is proud of her efforts to continue the battle against cancer one clean house at a time. Janibagian and husband Jonathon – Kent-Meridian graduates
– launched Tip Top Cleaning Solutions, a residential and commercial cleaning company, last December, and joined Cleaning for a Reason, a nonprofit organization geared toward helping women fighting cancer.
After witnessing how cancer affected the daily life of her grandmother, Janibagian vowed to help out others suffering from the same disease. “You take for granted all the little things,” Janibagian said. “(My grandmother) was Janibagian always on top of cleaning the house, (but) then she couldn’t anymore because she
was tired or sick.” Living with her grandmother in Panama while her mother served in the U.S. Army, Janibagian would help tidy the house, sweeping behind her grandmother with the toy broom she was given. “For me being an adult, getting the responsibility of [ more CLEANING page 4 ]

Property owners object to fees to improve SE 256th Street BY STEVE HUNTER
shunter@kentreporter.com
Mary Cross and other property owners along Southeast 256th Street left a Kent City Council meeting Tuesday night upset and confused. The council voted 4-2 to form a Local Improvement District (LID) to charge fees to property owners who benefit from the project to pay for about $2 million of a $7 million cost to upgrade and widen 256th Street on the East Hill from the “Y”
intersection at Kent-Kangley Road to 116th Avenue Southeast. About a dozen property owners showed up at a public hearing to protest formation of the LID. They also turned in petitions to the council from more than 70 percent of the property owners opposing the assessments because of the high fees and their opinion that the costs should be spread out to all of those who use the street, not just those who live nearby where the improvements are planned. “That was really, really undemo-
cratic,” Cross said after the meeting. Property owners can still overturn the formation of the LID if 60 percent or more of the property owners sign to oppose the fee within the next 30 days and those signatures are given to city officials. “We’ll have 30 days to reproduce what we collected over months,” said Cross, who lives in Covington but owns property along 256th Street. “It’ll be hard to duplicate in 30 days but we will do our best.” A total of 370 properties would be impacted by the 256th LID with pay-

KING COUNTY POLICE FORCES TO GO ‘BAR HOPPING’ Police will be throwing a spotlight on the role bars play in keeping drunk drivers off the road this weekend. Local, county and state law enforcement officers will team up to conduct a DUI emphasis throughout South King County on Saturday. Within an hour of a DUI arrest, police officers, to include Washington State Liquor Control Board (WSLCB) agents, will make educational visits to those bars associated with the arrest. WSLCB agents will visit establishments to educate employees and distribute “Click 2 Ride” cards which provide direct access to 1-800-TAXICAB. The Mobile Impaired Driving Unit will be set up at the city of Kent Corrections Facility and operated by Washington State Patrol to allow onsite processing of DUI drivers.
ments spread out over 15 years. The average assessment for the singlefamily homes would be about $3,000 to be paid over 15 years, according to city officials. The area includes 107 single-family homes, 1,224 apartments, 82 condos, 17 duplexes and nine commercial parcels. The changes will improve traffic flow, access to businesses and homes and safety for vehicles and pedestrians.

Torklift grows Torklift Central recently expanded its shop on the 4,700-square-foot lot behind its original building at 315 Central Ave. N, Kent. The company’s founders also were honored at a celebration to commemorate the expansion. “I had no idea when I started the little shop 37 years ago that it would grow to become what it is today,” said company
founder Jon Kay. “And we all know who the driving force is and the gambler who brought it to this point and that is Jack Kay. This is my son and I couldn’t be more proud.” Torklift officials said production and manufacturing of new products will expand into the back shop and continue to grow the company to become a key player in the RV industry.

Trial date continued in car show shooting cases BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com
The trial date for five men accused of assault for their roles in a Kent car show shooting in July 2011 has been continued to Oct. 28 in King County Superior Court. Twelve people were injured in the gang-related shooting at the La Plaza strip mall, 23311 Pacific Highway S. Four of the defendants are each
charged with three counts of firstdegree assault with firearm enhancements, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. A fifth defendant is charged with one count of first-degree assault with a firearm enhancement and drive-by shooting. The trial had been scheduled to start Feb. 25. The defendants are from SeaTac, Seattle, Federal Way and Auburn. They each pleaded not guilty in October
2011. About 250 people attended the lowrider car show on July 6, 2011. Another person was injured later that night in a retaliatory shooting at a Kent East Hill apartment. Of the 13 victims, seven were gang members, according to Kent Police. None of the injuries were life threatening. The car show turned violent after members of a rap band at the event encouraged the crowd
to show their gang signs, according to Kent Police. Members started to show their signs and that led to verbal arguments, fights and then the shootings. A Tacoma man received a oneyear jail sentence last year for his role in the shooting. A jury convicted him of one count of first-degree rendering criminal assistance for hiding one of the vehicles that carried shooters away from the strip mall.
A former Mount Rainier High School volleyball coach received a 90-day jail sentence for thirddegree attempted rape of a child in connection with a 15-year-old girl he met at Lake Meridian Park in Kent. Daniel Gregory Lum-Lung, 35, of Renton, will serve 30 days in the King County jail and 60 days in electronic home detention, according to King County Superior Court documents. He also will have to register as a sex offender and serve 24 months on probation under the supervision of the state Department of Corrections. Judge Andrea Darvas sentenced Lum-Lung on March 1. A jury convicted Lum-Lung last month of third-degree attempted rape of a child and communication with a minor for immoral purposes. “At sentencing, the second count of communicating was vacated because it was same criminal conduct,” said Ian Goodhew, spokesman for the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. “We wanted the jury to have both options at the time they were making their decision but we can’t ask for two punishments.” Lum-Lung is to have no contact with the victim and no unsupervised contact with minors, except for his biological children. more story online… kentreporter.com

In concordance with the Heathy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) proposed a new rule that would regulate snacks sold outside of regular school meal programs. The “Nutrition Standards for all Foods Sold in School� proposed rule would affect school stores, a la carte options, and vending machines in almost 90,000 public schools across the nation, including those in the Kent School District. The public comment period for the rule began in February and extends until April 19. No sooner than a year after this period would the changes begin and an “implementing rule� published, giving schools times to adapt. This is the first federal effort of its kind to regulate school snacks. The rule would be enforced during school hours defined from midnight to 30 minutes
[ CLEANING from page 1] cleaning was my biggest joy,� Janibagian said. So when she revisited the idea of starting her own business, a cleaning company was her natural first choice. A mother of three, Janibagian knows firsthand how important it is to keep a clean home. Add to that three asthmatics in the family, and she’s got her hands full when it comes to keeping things spick and span while still putting her family’s health first. That’s one of the reasons why Janibagian made the move to only use “green� cleaners in her home and
after school ends. Snacks sold during non-school hours, like concessions at sporting events, would not be regulated. “Parents and teachers work hard to instill healthy eating habits in our kids, and these efforts should be supported when kids walk through the schoolhouse door,� said Agriculture Secretary Tam Vilsack. “Good nutrition lays the groundwork for good health and academic success. Providing healthy options throughout the school cafeterias, vending machines, and snack bars will complement the gains made with the new, healthy standards for school breakfast and lunch so the healthy choice is the easy choice for our kids.� Minimum standards would be set for total fat, sodium, sugar, etc., in snacks sold. Portion sizes of milk and juice would depend on the age of the students. For example, older students in middle school would be allowed to consume 12-ounce portions of those beverages as opposed to 8-ounce portions available for elementary school kids.

And although she’s never travelled to Morocco, for business purposes, she felt that “Kent Nighttime� didn’t have as nice of a ring to it, she joked. The other reason Janibagian abandoned commercial cleaning products was the cancer causing agents she found them to have after doing research online. “If I’m going to go to these women’s homes and clean, I want to have something that really doesn’t add any more chemicals into

All beverages sold at the elementary and middle school levels would be caffeine free. High schools would be allowed to sell diet sodas and sports drinks that adhere to certain caloric standards. Also, the availability of drinking water would be required during all normal school meal hours free of charge. Although a date of implementation is not set, the changes “shall take effect at the beginning of the school year that is not earlier than one year and not later than two years following the date on which the regulations are finalized� states a memorandum written by the OFW law firm. Tom Ogg, supervisor of nutrition services for the Kent School District, said after the standards are finalized, the next step for the Kent School District would be to have its wellness committee update the district wellness policy to align with the changes.
the mix,� Janibagian said. These are also the types of topics Janibagian writes about in her blog on the company’s website. From what’s in conventional cleaners to the advantages to keeping a clean home, Janibagian hopes to empower consumers and customers when it comes to tidying up through her blog. “We’re just trying to get the word out there that cleaning is good,� she said. So good, in fact, that Janibagian’s face lit up every time she spoke of getting her hands dirty. This enthusiasm shone through when she discussed joining Cleaning for a Reason as well.
“If I can make another person happy and give them back their day in some form or fashion or just help them to relax where they don’t have to worry about this (disease) and know that their house is taken care of, you better believe I’ll do it,� she said. Janibagian offers free house cleaning to two women per month up to four months while they focus on getting better and fighting the disease. And with each customer, Janibagian dedicates her job-well-done to her grandmother. “I still miss her every day,� she said. “(But) really and truly, it’s in her name.�

www.kentreporter.com Moments of Love on Ice featuring Barry Manilow in January at the ShoWare Center. “It’s a regional center and really meets up with what the council set as a goal to have a regional attraction here in Kent,” she said. “So while we are driving economic development with ShoWare and while it is bringing in taxes through the ripple effect, we are working with (operator) SMG to take a new approach to be a financial partner with some of these big shows we are planning to attract. Without the risk, you don’t get the reward. We are going to be more of a player.” In an effort to cut losses, city officials agreed to put money up front to help bring in higher-profile concerts and shows this year to the arena that opened in 2009. The arena’s revenue losses each year are covered by the city’s general budget,
money that could be spent on other projects if the arena made money or broke even. On other topics, Cooke said Goodman Real Estate will begin construction soon to build 164 apartments with retail on the main floor at the corner of Fourth Avenue North and West Smith Street at the site of the now demolished half-built parking garage. She said Goodman plans to call the complex The Platform, after the nearby bus and train transit centers and the Kent Station shopping mall. “By the summer of 2014 residents of Kent will be coming home to The Platform,” Cooke said. “Goodman also is working with a nationally branded retail tenant to occupy the commercial space at the southeast intersection of Fourth and Smith and will design the project to allow for outdoor seating at the corner.”
Cooke did not name the potential tenant. She also said a new restaurant tenant that she couldn’t reveal yet plans to move into the old U.S. Post Office downtown at Second Avenue and Gowe Street with renovations to include a kitchen, bar and outdoor dining. A grass-roots campaign has started to bring a YMCA to Kent, Cooke said. The city looked at bringing the YMCA to town a few years ago when city officials wanted to build a new aquatic center, but plans fell apart because of a lack of money. “We have a fledgling group of people interested in attracting a YMCA here including the people in charge of the YMCA,” Cooke said. “If any of you have an interest in seeing the YMCA coming to Kent, let myself know. We are not in charge of this but this has to be a community grass roots effort if it’s going to happen.”

Superintendent Dorn on marijuana Editor’s note: Recent anecdotal reports from school districts suggest an increase in marijuana possession and consumption among young people, especially after the passage of Initiative 502, which legalizes small quantities of the drug for people age 21 and older. Below is a statement from State Superintendent Randy Dorn on what the law means to public schools. The passage of I-502 changes nothing in public schools in Washington state. Certain drugs, including marijuana, continue to be illegal on school property and to anyone younger than 21 years old. To receive federal funds, districts must abide by the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act and must have a Drug and TobaccoFree Workplace and a similar student policy in place. Each

Citizens’ voice spoke loud and clear on tax questions One of the defining characteristics of Washington’s state government is the opportunity for everyday voters to have their voices heard through the initiative process. It helps keep legislators accountable and reinforces our nation’s history of active citizen participation in all levels of government. While some legislators have pushed back on Washington’s initiative process, on Feb. 28 this process

“Should the federal government regulate school snacks?”
Eric Greiling
?
Question of the week:
Mike Johnson, special projects director at Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission, tells a story about attending a function with a friend who had lagged behind when Mike went inside the building. “I just gave $50 to a guy and his daughter who were standing at the front door. Their house burned a couple nights ago, and they needed money to get a hotel room,” said the friend, not just a little proud. Mike looked at his friend and asked what the man’s name was. The friend didn’t know. In the end, the story was not about the handout but about the missed opportunity for actual connection, an opportunity to hear the story or be able to actually direct the man to resources that could help him, not only for that night, but for his life. Not just a handout, a path toward a solution. One Saturday night last November, 379 Kent residents attended a fundraiser sponsored by KentHOPE, Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission and local businesses. The generosity and support for building a 24-hour shelter for homeless individuals in Kent raised more than $82,000. This despite the fact that at the time, the center was still just a vision, without a specific building. The community had spoken loudly in its support of the effort. Every person is a product of their own personal backstory. When that story includes misfortune, a really bad break, loss of a job, serious injury or a miserable childhood, the story might also include homelessness. The path out of homelessness has no simple fix. When access to services, storage for one’s belongings, a computer to apply for jobs, shelter and a consistent meal are taken away, the burdens build on each other, creating a maze from which there may be no way out without help. People in these circumstances cannot be
came under new fire from the Washington Supreme Court. After staying out of the politi-
cal debate for almost 20 years, our Supreme Court stepped in and struck down the voter-approved requirement that tax increases receive a two-thirds vote to pass the Legislature. In deciding this requirement is unconstitutional, the justices ignored the repeated demands of Washington’s voters that the bar be set higher when it comes to taking money from our pocketbooks. More than simply deciding on the
disciplined according to local district policy and local law enforcement as required. Fines also can be doubled if the arrest occurs within 1,000 feet of a school facility. I-502 changes state law but has no effect on federal law. Some people think that a medical marijuana card is similar to a prescription for a controlled substance and can be brought to schools or the workplace. That is false. Having a medical marijuana card does not mean a student, or an employee, or anyone for that matter, can bring marijuana on school grounds. Students need to be engaged and prepared for school. Marijuana doesn’t allow them to be either of those things. Marijuana dulls the brain. It can lead to paranoia, short-term memory loss and depression. And for those under 21, it is illegal. – Superintendent Randy Dorn
constitutionality of the issue though, the Supreme Court justices took a blatant, unwarranted and political swing at the decision made by voters to keep the scope of our government limited. The six justices in the majority opinion claim the supermajority requirement “is antithetical to the notion of a functioning government and should be rejected as such.” In doing so, they seem eager to disregard the notion that the functions of government are the responsibility of the legislature, the governor and the [ more CORNER page 9 ]

Many have jobs, but lack the resources to generate first/last month’s rent and a security deposit. And they are young adults who perhaps with some direction and resources can find their way off the streets. Kent has a strong network of loosely connected service agencies that provide help to homeless persons. In an effort to help consolidate and maximize the effectiveness of these services, Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission and KentHOPE embarked some two years ago on a project to build a center from which these services could be made readily available. Working in concert with the community, Kent businesses and city officials, KentHOPE and SUGM are developing what in November was a vision into a reality. The surface objective is to provide homeless persons a place to get off the streets and out of the library during the day, and to provide meals, resources, storage and counseling alternatives to those in need. The more important objective is to provide a foundation for people to transition from homelessness back to healthy everyday lives. There is a fundamental problem when referring to
the “homeless.� Stereotyping, often a product of fear, nearly always leads to generalized conclusions about a certain group that tends to fan the flames of that fear, and to categorize homeless individuals as somehow less desirable than other citizens. KentHOPE and SUGM are not dealing with the “homeless situation�. The shelter will work directly with individuals, many if not most of whom would prefer not to be homeless. Again, every person has their back story. To earn the privilege of learning that story sometimes requires time to build trust. Necessarily, the first step is to see each person as a person, deserving of the same respect and dignity as anyone else. To learn that story is a gateway to discovering the tools that person needs to begin to climb out
of the downward spiral that is homelessness. As the many entities involved work together to determine the best course to building the day center, location has become a significant point of discussion. Pragmatically, the most desirable location would have easy proximity to transit, public services and healthcare. Many homeless persons do not have transportation to get to jobs and interviews, or access other necessities. Ideally, the best location is able to serve the need of the guests, and is suitably located to operate compatibly with the needs of Kent business owners. In a recent meeting, the KentHOPE executive board unanimously voted to willingly withdraw its application for building out a location on Gowe Street in response to concerns from the business

as likely that the shelter could be a benefit to the surrounding area’s businesses as a detriment? When members of our community have access to restrooms and showers where none existed before, the entire community wins. The vision charted by KentHOPE and Union Gospel Mission has less to do with a building, less to do with stopgap handouts and everything to do with providing people in our

community access to the services they need to escape homelessness. It has everything to do with interacting with people, to learn their stories and to define their specific needs. Back in November, our community sent a strong message of support, in essence saying, “By the way, what is your name?� Eric Greiling serves on the KentHOPE executive board.

lated 991 hours of flight time. Dawson, 31, was in his second season of coaching the Kentlake boys swim and dive team. He coached the Kentlake girls team in the fall of 2011. Hill had been the Decatur swim coach for five years. According to the report, Christiansen Aviation, Inc., of Wilmington, Del., the plane’s registered owner, leased the plane to AcuWings, a Renton flight school. The flight originated from Renton Municipal Airport, but no flight plan was filed. A NTSB crash investigator said there is no law that requires a flight plan for a sightseeing personal flight. A review of FAA recorded radar showed the aircraft had an initial climb out of Renton to 2,400 feet mean sea level as indicated by its altitude encoding transponder. “Initially, the aircraft proceeded in a northeasterly direction,� according to the report. “However, as the aircraft approached Snoqualmie Falls, it descended to 1,500 feet and proceeded on an eastsoutheasterly course. The last radar hit occurred at 1:46 a.m., at which time the aircraft was about 1 mile southwest of the falls, and about 1 mile north of Interstate 90. During the last minute of recorded flight, the aircraft’s ground speed decreased from about 112 to 106 knots.�

www.kentreporter.com [ CORNER from page 6 ] people by means of the initiative process – not the judicial branch. Further, they argue the two-thirds rule to raise taxes constituted a “tyrannical minority” imposing their will over the majority. The language wades deep into political waters, which the courts are supposed to float above. Even more disconcerting was the true tyranny of the minority on display when these six individuals overruled a 1.9 million strong majority
of Washingtonians who supported Initiative 1185. Washington residents have repeatedly reaffirmed that tax increases should only pass with support of two-thirds of legislators or a public vote. We strongly support this principle. The Supreme Court has ruled – in spite of a clear directive from the people – that the two-thirds requirement for taxes is unconstitutional. But the fight is not over. We are sponsoring legislation, House Joint Resolution 4206, that would place the
two-thirds requirement to raise taxes in our state constitution. This will ensure our government respects the repeated instructions of voters and finally puts the issue to rest. Passing this constitutional amendment will be a challenge. It must pass both the House and Senate before going to the ballot box where voters must also approve it. The voters have been clear on this issue before, and we are sure that they will respond just as loudly and definitively if they are given the opportu-
nity to amend the constitution. This should not be a difficult decision. Initiative 1185 passed in every county and 44 of 49 legislative districts. Voters in the 31st Legislative District, to whom we answer, passed Initiative 1185 with 73 percent support. If every senator and representative was true to his or her district, amending the constitution to include the two-thirds requirement for tax increases would pass near-unanimously. Just as they have in the past, however, I expect
a number of interest groups will fight our efforts to pass this amendment. The Washington State Supreme Court ruled against the majority of Washingtonians, but as legislators it is our responsibility to represent our voters. A constitutional amendment is now the only way forward. State Rep. Christopher Hurst, D-Enumclaw, is chair the Government Accountability and Oversight Committee. Rep. Cathy Dahlquist, R-Enumclaw, is the ranking Republican on the House Education Committee.

Kent celebrates National Youth Art Month with Student Art Walk The City of Kent, the Kent Arts Commission, the Kent Downtown Partnership, Kent Station, and the Kent School District present the Kent Student Art Walk from March 11-22 to celebrate National Youth Art Month. The 19th annual art walk displays student-made art in businesses through-
out Kent Station and the downtown area. “It’s always fun to see the variety,” said Mark Hendrickson, cultural programs coordinator for Kent Parks, Recreation and Community Service. “There’s a really positive, fun energy.” This year’s theme is Spring into Art. On March 15, there will be a reception at the Centennial Center Gallery on West
art is holistic and an international language. “We are learning to see, think, speak, write and create like artists,” the sign reads. Nineteen schools from the elementary to the high school level will submit pieces of art. A flyer, including a map of where the art will be displayed, is available online at kentwa. gov.
Gowe Street from 5 to 7 p.m. From there, parents, students and community members can walk around the area looking at the art. Skip Inman, who teaches art at Mill Creek Middle School, has participated in the art walk for the past eight years. In his curriculum, students learn various artistic techniques, like perspective or shadowing. The sign on his wall reminds his students that

RECITALS A. Pursuant to Resolution No. 1869 adopted February 5, 2013, the City Council declared its intention to order the construction or installation of curbs, gutters, sidewalks, driveways, a two-way left turn lane, bike lanes, street lighting, landscaping, erosion control, undergrounding of overhead electrical facilities, storm water management facilities, utility adjustments and relocations and necessary appurtenances all relating to the overall project of widening to 3 lanes on SE 256th Street from Kent-Kangley Road to 116th Ave SE, and fixed March 5, 2013, at 7:00 p.m., local time, in the council chambers of City Hall as the time and place for hearing all matters relating to the proposed improvements and

PUBLIC NOTICES ...Continued from previous page necessary appurtenances all relating to the overall project of widening to 3 lanes on SE 256th Street from Kent-Kangley Road to 116th Ave SE. All of the foregoing shall be in accordance with the plans and specifications therefore prepared by the City’s Public Works Director, and may be modified as long as such modification does not affect the purpose of the improvements. There is created and established a local improvement district to be called Local Improvement District No. 364 of the City of Kent, Washington (the “District”), the boundaries or territorial extent of the District being more particularly described in Exhibit A, attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein.The improvements are described in Exhibit B. SECTION 2. The total estimated cost and expense of the improvements is declared to be $7,000,000. Approximately $5,000,000 of which cost and expense shall be paid by the City and/or by grants and the balance thereof (an estimated $2,000,000) of the cost and expense shall be borne by and assessed against the property specially benefited by such improvements included in the District, which embraces as nearly as practicable all property specially benefited by such improvements. SECTION 3. In accordance with the provisions of RCW 35.44. 047, the City may use any method or combination of methods to compute assessments that may be deemed to more fairly reflect the special benefits to the properties being assessed than the statutory method of assessing the properties. SECTION 4. No property, any portion of which is outside the District, may connect to those improvements constructed or made a part of such District unless either that property shall have been subject to the special assessments on the assessment roll for that District or the owners of that property shall have paid prior to such connection a charge in lieu of assessment, which shall be at least the equivalent of those assessments that would have been applied to that property had it been included within that District. SECTION 5. Local improvement district warrants may be issued in payment of the cost and expense of the improvements herein ordered to be assessed, such warrants to be paid out of the Local Improvement Fund, District No. 364, hereinafter created and referred to as the Local Improvement Fund, and, until the bonds referred to in this section are issued and delivered to the purchaser thereof, to bear interest from the date thereof at a rate to be established hereafter by the City’s Finance Director, as issuing officer, and to be redeemed in cash and/or by local improvement district bonds herein authorized to be issued, such interest-bearing warrants to be hereafter referred to as “revenue warrants.” In the alternative, the City hereafter may provide by ordinance for the issuance of other short-term obligations pursuant to chapter 39.50 RCW, or for interfund loans. If the City shall authorize expenditures to be made for such improvements (other than for any cost or expense expected to be borne by the City) prior to the date that any short-term obligations or local improvement district bonds are issued to finance the improvements, from proceeds of interfund loans or other funds
that are not, and are not reasonably expected to be, reserved, allocated on a long-term basis, or otherwise set aside to pay the cost of the improvements herein ordered to be assessed against the property specially benefited thereby, the City declares its official intent that those expenditures, to the extent not reimbursed with prepaid special benefit assessments, are to be reimbursed from proceeds of shortterm obligations or local improvement district bonds that are expected to be issued for the improvements in a principal amount not exceeding $7,000,000. The City is authorized to issue local improvement district bonds for the District that shall bear interest at a rate and be payable on or before a date to be hereafter fixed by ordinance. The bonds shall be issued in exchange for and/or in redemption of any and all revenue warrants issued hereunder or other short-term obligations hereafter authorized and not redeemed in cash within twenty (20) days after the expiration of the thirty-day period for the cash payment without interest of assessments on the assessment roll for the District. The bonds shall be paid and redeemed by the collection of special assessments to be levied and assessed against the property within the District, payable in annual installments, with interest at a rate to be hereafter fixed by ordinance under the mode of “payment by bonds,” as defined by law and the ordinances of the City. The exact form, amount, date, interest rate, and denominations of such bonds hereafter shall be fixed by ordinance of the City Council. Such bonds shall be sold in such manner as the City Council hereafter shall determine. SECTION 6. For the purpose of paying all or a part of the costs of carrying out the improvements within the District pending the receipt of the proceeds of the issuance and sale of the bonds, short-term obligations referred to in Section 5, or interfund loans from the General Fund, Street Fund and/or Sewer Fund to the Local Improvement Fund in the maximum aggregate amount of $7,000,000 are authorized and approved, those loans to be repaid on or before the issuance of such bonds or short-term obligations from the proceeds thereof. Any such interfund loans shall bear interest at a variable rate, adjusted the 15th and last day of each month, equal to the interest rate of the State of Washington Local Government Investment Pool on the 15th and last day of each month. The initial interest rate on the date of each interfund loan shall be determined as of the last preceding interest payment adjustment date. SECTION 7. In all cases where the work necessary to be done in connection with the making of such improvements is carried out pursuant to contract upon competitive bids (and the City shall have and reserves the right to reject any and all bids), the call for bids shall include a statement that payment for such work will be made in cash warrants drawn upon the Local Improvement Fund. SECTION 8. The Local Improvement Fund for the District is created and established in the office of the Finance Director of the City. The proceeds from the sale of revenue warrants or other short-term obligations drawn against the fund which may be issued and sold by the City and the collections of special assessments, interest and penalties thereon shall be deposited in the Local Improvement Fund. Cash warrants to the contractor or con
tractors in payment for the work to be done by them in connection with the improvements and cash warrants in payment for all other items of expense in connection with the improvements shall be issued against the Local Improvement Fund. SECTION 9. Within fifteen (15) days of the passage of this ordinance there shall be filed with the Finance Director of the City the title of the improvements and District number, a copy of the diagram or print showing the boundaries of the District and the preliminary assessment roll or abstract of such roll showing thereon the lots, tracts and parcels of land that will be specially benefited thereby and the estimated cost and expense of such improvements to be borne by each lot, tract or parcel of land. The Finance Director of the City immediately shall post the proposed assessment roll upon the index of local improvement assessments against the properties affected by the local improvement. SECTION 10. – Corrections by City Clerk or Code Reviser. Upon approval of the City Attorney, the City Clerk and the code reviser are authorized to make necessary corrections to this ordinance, including the correction of clerical errors; ordinance, section, or subsection numbering; or references to other local, state or federal laws, codes, rules, or regulations. SECTION 11. – Severability. If any one or more section, subsections, or sentences of this ordinance are held to be unconstitutional or invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of this ordinance and the same shall remain in full force and effect. SECTION 12. - Ratification. Any act consistent with the authority and prior to the effective date of this resolution is hereby ratified and affirmed. SECTION 13. - Effective date. This ordinance shall take effect and be in force five (5) days from and after its passage, approval, and publication as required by law. /S/ SUZETTE COOKE,MAYOR ATTEST:/S/RONALD MOORE, CITY CLERK APPROVED AS TO FORM: /S/ STEVEN DIJULIO, SPECIAL ASSISTANT, FOSTER & PEPPER, PLLC PASSED:5th day of March,2013 APPROVED:5th day of March, 2013.

K-M’S CRUZ GETS INTERNATIONAL SHOT BY MICHELLE CONERLY mconerly@kentreporter.com
Nikole Cruz, a senior at Kent-Meridian High School, was invited to the Philippines Women’s National Team soccer camp in Corona, Calif. Coach Christopher Wells received an email from a scout a couple months ago inquiring about Cruz and inviting her to the camp. “I was really proud of her,” Wells said. “Not everyone gets to do something like that, and
knowing she was going to have an opportunity to go down there and try out for her heritage – that’s really special.” Cruz is captain of the soccer team at Kent-Meridian and plays center midfield. With two goals and three assists this season, her technical skills not only made an impression on her school’s team but also a scout from the Malditas, the Filipino national soccer team, while she was at a college showcase tournament in California.
Cruz’ parents came to the United States from the Philippines 17 years ago and are proud that their daughter gets the unique chance to showcase her skills. “I feel pretty proud, (and) they’re proud of me,” Cruz said. Cruz was also voted team MVP at Kent-Meridian and made the All-South Puget Sound League first team. Cruz will be trying out for Malditas from March 25 to April 1.
Kentwood’s quest for its third girls basketball trophy came up short March 1 at the Tacoma Dome. Gonzaga Prep, behind sophomore Otiona Gildon’s 30 points, knocked Kentwood out of the tournament with a 59-44 victory in the consolation bracket of the 4A Hardwood Classic. Juniors Sarah Toeaina and Kate Kramer led Kentwood in scoring, tallying 20 and 13 points, respectively. Kentwood outrebounded Gonzaga Prep 36-27, but the Bullpups scored 29 points off turnovers compared to 10 by the Conks. In the first game Feb. 28, it seemed Brooke Pahukoa couldn’t miss for Lake Stevens. Lake Stevens never relinquished the lead in a 52-36 Elite Eight victory in which Pahukoa led all scores with 34 points, 22 of which came in the first half. She shot 54.1 percent from the field and pulled down eight rebounds. Kentwood didn’t have an answer for Pahukoa, a senior who has signed to play for Boise State University, and struggled offensively as well as on the glass. Toeaina led the Conquerors with 16 points against Lake Stevens in the quarterfinals.

Tips to clean your beds: Dress for the battle Cool, damp days are perfect for cleaning the weeds and debris from garden beds because weed roots will pull most easily from moist soil.
THE GARDENER
You’ll be more effective and more comfortable if you invest in the cotton gloves with the water-proof finger and palm prints. Buy two pairs so one will always be clean and dry. To keep these gloves waterproof be sure to cut and file any long fingernails that could poke through the thin, rubber coating. Waterproof footwear is the next important piece of the wardrobe and if you’ll be working on any type of slope invest in hiking boots with laces. Garden clogs or muck boots are fine for small level yards. A waterproof kneeling pad is the third piece of equipment, and you can improvise by using an old shower curtain or oil cloth table cloth folded into a rectangle. Marianne Binetti
This is the month to March right outdoors and start gardening. There are weeds to pull and smother, perennials to dig and divide, plants to move, trees and shrubs to add and the soul-satisfying, instant gratification that comes from cleaning up the beds. Don’t use the cool, damp weather as an excuse to stay indoors. English women are known the world over for their beautiful complexions. English gardeners insist the damp air is great for the skin – so skip the facial, don’t bother with Botox and invest in more plants instead of more wrinkle creams. Your weeds and your wrinkles might both disappear if you pull on your gloves, get some mud on your boots and make March the month you start your garden engine.
Prepare to collect prisoners A 5-gallon bucket, wheel barrow or my personal favorite, a tarp or old bed sheet are all practical places to store your weeds and debris. I like to spread a tarp out flat on the lawn in front of the bed that needs cleaning. Then I can simply

toss weeds, leaves and sliced up slugs over my shoulder with a good chance of hitting the mark. Once the bed is cleaned up I fold over the corners of the tarp and either lift it onto a wheelbarrow or drag it right to the compost pile. Mulch A mulch is any covering for the soil that helps to seal in moisture and keep new weed seeds from blowing into your newly-cleaned bed. The thicker and more coarse the mulch the better it keeps out weeds but the less refined the look. Add more plants The secret to less work is more plants. Nature abhors a vacuum so any naked soil will soon sprout weeds. If there is a lot of space in your beds after cleaning out the weeds and debris consider adding more perennials, annuals, shrubs, groundcovers, even placing pots in the beds and adding another level of color.
