1-year-old baby girl Mayor vetoes council’s B&O tax measure shot to death in Kent

It took the city of Kent’s controversial business and occupation (B&O) tax to cause Mayor Suzette Cooke to use her veto power over

Kent Police remained confident this week that they will solve the crime of who shot and killed a 1-year-old baby girl in a drive-by-shooting last week on Kent’s West Hill.

Malaja Miracle Grant, who was shot in the head on April 16 while riding in her parents car, died after she was taken off life support Saturday night at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, according to a hospital spokeswoman.

Grant lived in Kent with her parents, according to Kent Police.

Shots were fired into the car by two shooters from another car at about 4:30 p.m. April 16 near the intersection of Lake Fenwick

the City Council for the first time during her 10 years in office.

The council voted 4-3 on Tuesday night to approve an ordinance amending the B&O tax code so that all money collected after the payment of administrative costs goes to

repair streets rather than using any extra revenue to pay down debt in the city’s capital improvement fund, which helps pay for transportation, parks, facilities and other projects. [ more VETO page 5 ]

City to spend $1.3M to replace traffic medians

STATE: FORMER LANDFILL SITE STILL SAFE FOR PUBLIC The former Kent Highlands Landfill site on the West Hill continues to protect public health and the environment, according to a recent periodic review by the state Department of Ecology (DOE).

That’s certainly good news for DevCo Inc., a Bellevue-based developer, which plans to build the GrandView apartments on the section of the former landfill it bought for $5 million last year from the city of Kent and Seattle Public Utilities.

The site is 11.4 acres at 3900 Veterans Drive, just east of Military Road South. DevCo paid the city $2 million for its 3.9 acres of the property.

The developer plans to build 261 affordable housing units.

The state is taking public comment about its review through May 18. The state lists the site at 23076 Military Road S. Comments can be emailed to Eugene Freeman, periodic review coordinator, at eugene. freeman@ecy.wa.gov or call 425-649-7191.

The weed-infested, busted-up traffic medians along Pacific Highway South in Kent will get a new look this year.

Crews will tear out the old medians as part of an estimated $1.3 million City Council plan to beautify the nine medians between South 272nd Street and Kent Des Moines Road on the West Hill to help keep and attract businesses.

“The scope of the project is more than just replanting,” said Mark Howlett, city design engineering

manager, in an email. “It includes digging out all of the old material in the island, installing a new irrigation system, adding soil and new plants.”

The council approved spending $750,000 this year from the city’s business and occupation tax (B&O) to replant five of the traffic islands as crews start at South 272nd Street and work their way north. City staff plans to bid the project in June with work starting in late July, Howlett said.

“We think that the $750,000 will allow us to complete five of the nine islands,” Howlett said. “Depending on our final cost estimate and the ultimate amount of the bid, we may

add or delete the number of islands we do this year.”

City officials had a community meeting last week on the West Hill to talk about the upgraded medians. Crews will junk the old medians that led to many maintenance problems.

“I would like to stress where we fell short last time is the irrigation got busted up with cars hitting it,” said Scott Schroeder, city field supervisor at the meeting. “Our new design runs the irrigation down the middle of the islands and are buried deeper. The previous plan had irrigation lines along the curb

line so the minute a car or truck popped over the curb, it would take out the irrigation lines and they are expensive to repair. We repaired them but then they’d get hit and broken again.”

When repairs slowed down, the medians got uglier. The city installed the medians in 2006.

“The consensus of the council is that these medians need to be upgraded and replanted,” Howlett said.

City staff has recommended mount vernon laurel, blue star juniper, white rockrose and concorde barberry as potential plants to grow in the medians.

A PORT ORCHARD MAN, who lived in Kent when he was caught on video racing BMX bikes while claiming he was too injured to work, pleaded guilty on April 16 to stealing more than $14,000 in disability benefits.

Tony T. Perry Sr., 52, pleaded guilty to two counts of third-degree theft, a gross misdemeanor, in Thurston County Superior Court, according to a state Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) media release.

Judge Anne Hirsch sentenced Perry to 364 days in jail, but suspended all but 15 days if Perry obeys the law for two years. She is allowing him to serve the 15 days in electronic home monitoring, according to the state Attorney General’s office.

About 2,600 city-owned street lights will get new LED lights later this year at a cost of $2.6 million that is expected to save the city approximately $230,000 a year in electricity costs.

The Kent City Council unanimously approved the project at its Tuesday meeting. Crews are expected to start work this summer on the six-month project to replace the lights.

Kent will receive an energy efficiency grant of $375,000 from the state Department of Commerce to help fund the project as well as a $445,000 rebate from Puget Sound Energy for the more efficient lights. LED lights use around one-third of the energy of the existing lights, and last for about 20 years.

To finance the project, the city will borrow $1 million from its sewerage operating fund, $800,000 from its self-insurance fund and $445,000 from the general fund under extra money set

aside in a Strategic Investment fund.

“We will save at a minimum in 2015 dollars a total of $4.83 million,” Councilman Dennis Higgins said about the estimated annual savings in costs for 21 years.

“This is a no-brainer. We’re not even taking into account the labor to change bulbs in the current equipment or changing out the current equipment which doesn’t last 30 years. This is a great project both from a fiscal point of view and an environmental point of view in the electricity we’re going to be saving.”

Once the rebate is received by the city, it will put that money back into the Strategic Investment fund, which is monies set aside for projects after the general fund budget hits its 10 percent annual savings amount.

That leaves the $1.8 million to be financed over nine years, paid back at 1.2 percent interest through the savings in the annual electric bill.

Kent has about 6,000 street lights. Besides the city-owned lights, the other lights are owned by Puget Sound Energy and other agencies and are not part of this project.

Council approves tax break for Kent Station Apartments developer

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

Seattle developer Tarragon will receive a property tax break each year for eight years from the city of Kent for building the 154-unit Kent Station Apartments downtown.

The City Council unanimously approved an exemption at its Tuesday

night meeting for Tarragon on property taxes on the building valuation, which is estimated to cost the city about $25,000 a year in tax revenue. The developer still must pay taxes on the land value.

Tarragon started construction on the apartments earlier this year at the shopping center along Fourth Avenue North, across from

[ VETO from page 1 ] Under the current code, the first $700,000 collected of a $4.7 million cap goes to cover staff costs for six employees with $4 million to street repairs and any extra revenue (estimated to be about $800,000 per year) used to pay down debt.

Cooke vetoed the amended tax ordinance just before the end of the meeting. The new ordinance would have gone into effect in 2017.

“I still find that removing the cap (of $4.7 million) even by January 2017 to be very unnerving towards our financial future,” Cooke said to the council. “I support us maintaining the status quo under the current ordinance.”

The veto definitely shocked the council.

the Maleng Regional Justice Center. Construction is expected to be done by spring 2016.

The tax exemption will save Tarragon nearly $1.7 million over eight years as it also won’t have to pay building valuation taxes to schools, the Kent Regional Fire Authority, King County and other taxing districts. City principal

“I was totally taken off guard,” Council President Dana Ralph said during a phone interview. “I had no indication that would be the case. We were all surprised.

I’m a little disappointed because I thought we had a good compromise.”

Cooke explained her veto further during an interview after the meeting.

“That (2017) effective date still puts a mark against our future to have that as a revenue source for our stability moving forward as a city financially,” she said. “I think it is inappropriate for us to take action (Tuesday) with an effective day a year and a half in the future that would damage our credit rating.”

The city recently received credit

planner Matt Gilbert said Tarragon will save an estimated $210,000 a year in property taxes.

The council approved a property tax exemption waiver in 1998 to encourage development downtown. No developer had taken advantage of the tax break until Tarragon applied for it in order to help fund building of the

rating upgrades from Moody’s Investors Service and Standard & Poor’s in part because of new revenue sources, including the B&O tax.

“My priority has been from the beginning to make sure this city’s credit rating is solid and that’s indicative of being able to save but also use dollars wisely,” Cooke said. “The council still has a $1.6 million gap in the 2015-16 budget because they chose not to do the $20 car tab fees so that’s still hanging out there.”

Legally, Cooke must write a letter to the council within 10 days about why she’s vetoing the ordinance. The council will have a chance, if it chooses, to override the veto but needs at least five votes in favor of the measure.

apartment complex.

“This is an incentive that this council enthusiastically put into place and renewed just last year with almost exactly this sort of project in mind,” Councilman Dennis Higgins said. “Furthermore, when we talk about exemption of property taxes for eight years, I don’t like to see that revenue go away and I know the school

“I think it’s a possibility,” Ralph said about whether the council might override the veto. “I do not have any confirmation from anybody but I do believe this isn’t the end of it.”

Cooke also spoke at the council’s Operations Committee meeting on March 17 to ask the panel to oppose the tax code change. But that committee voted 2-1 to move the proposal forward to the full council. The council delayed its vote for two weeks to get feedback from the Kent Chamber of Commerce about the proposal, said Derek Matheson, city chief administrative officer.

The chamber supported using all of the revenue for street repairs rather than paying off debt because that’s what its members

agreed to when the council approved the new B&O tax in 2012.

The tax became effective in 2013.

“Since the implementation of the B&O tax, the chamber has watched the tax carefully to make sure we stay true to the original intent of this fundamentally flawed taxing system,” said April Sta. Rosa, part owner of the Valley Floor Co., in Kent, who testified on behalf of the chamber during the public comment period at Tuesday’s meeting. “There have been attempts to divert the B&O funds away from the original intent through budget proposals and projects. This ordinance puts into place safety measures to make sure the tax is used for its original intent which is street maintenance.”

Senate approves WHL bill to clarify players as amateurs

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

The state Senate and House each voted to approve a bill that would clarify that Western Hockey League players are amateur athletes and not employees who should be paid minimum wage and fall under state child labor laws.

Owners of the Kentbased Seattle Thunderbirds junior hockey team now just need the signature of Gov. Jay Inslee to make the bill law. The Senate passed the measure 47-1 on April 16 while the House voted 91-7 on April 15 to approve the bill. The bill now goes to Inslee to sign. No timeline has been set yet for when Inslee might sign the bill.

Owners from teams in

Everett, Spokane and the Tri-Cities joined Seattle, which plays at the ShoWare Center, in lobbying the Legislature this session in Olympia to approve the bill.

If Inslee signs the bill, it takes effect 90 days after adjournment of the Legislature.

The four state representatives from the Kent area each voted for the bill.

They are Mia Gregerson, D-SeaTac; Tina Orwall, D-Des Moines; Mark Hargrove, R-Covington; and Pat Sullivan, D-Covington.

Sen. Joe Fain, R-Auburn, who sponsored the bill and whose district includes Kent, voted for the measure as did Sen. Karen Keiser, D-Kent. The Senate passed the original version of the bill in March.

Owners proposed the bill because of an ongoing investigation by the state Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) into whether child labor laws have been broken by the teams that feature players ages 16-20.

Hockey owners fear if they must abide by child labor laws the younger players would no longer be able to compete with such limited work hours and their entire business model for the league would fall apart.

L&I started an investigation of the WHL teams in the winter of 2013 after someone filed a complaint about possible violations of child labor laws because the players put in so many hours of practice and games with basically no pay.

End cuts to state food program The Washington State Food Assistance Program was reduced by 50 percent in the 2012 legislative session, half of which was restored in 2013, in the midst of the Great Recession.

A total of 33,000 people, 45 percent of whom are children, live in households impacted by this program reduction. Many of them are our neighbors right here in Kent. Nearly all of them are immigrant children of color, whose families lost a comparatively larger share of income and equity during the recession — and who continue to struggle to put healthy food on tables and keep up with other expenses.

Childhood hunger is a major impediment to educational success among other areas of childhood success. Health care professionals, both medical

State’s Tax Freedom Day comes later than usual Will you celebrate Tax Freedom Day this year?

Until April 24, every penny we’ve earned in 2015 goes to pay your taxes.

While this year, national Tax Freedom Day is 114 days into the year, for us in Washington, it won’t arrive until April 29.

In 2015, Americans will pay $3.28 trillion in federal taxes and $1.57 trillion in state and local taxes, for a total tax bill of $4.85 trillion.

That is a whopping amount, virtually impossible for you and me to grasp. But think about it this way: If you earned $40,000 a year, it would

COMMENTARY

?

Question of the week:

You know the quadrennial quandary in this state about how to make the presidential primary meaningful?

There’s an answer for 2016: It won’t be, so it’s going to be canceled.

That will mean the vast majority of Washington’s 3.9 million registered voters won’t have a hand in narrowing the field of presidential candidates. On the bright side, canceling the primary will save taxpayers $11.5 million.

You can thank the state Democratic Party for clarifying the options and freeing up those millions of dollars for other uses.

On April 18, its leaders gathered in Pasco and decided to rely solely on precinct caucuses to apportion delegates to the national convention, where the party’s nominee for the Oval Office will be chosen.

That’s no surprise. Democrats cherish the caucus process to bring their truly faithful together.

“It encourages more active participation, with Democrats across the state showing up to caucuses and talking with their friends and neighbors about our presidential candidates,” state party chairman Jaxon Ravens said in a statement.

But Secretary of State Kim Wyman did try to persuade them otherwise.

Wyman, the state’s chief election officer, wrote party members a letter April 15 asking them to allot a portion of delegates based on primary results, a practice that the Democratic Party follows in more than 30 other states.

She said that if Democrats could find a way to do that, she’d get lawmakers to move up the date of the primary and make sure the Democratic and Republican parties got the names of every one who voted for their respective candidates.

“Our goals with this proposal are to engage as many voters across the state in the selection of the presidential nominees as possible, make the results of a presidential primary

take you 125 million years to earn $4.85 trillion.

Our state ranks 41st in the nation when it comes to our total tax burden – federal, state and local.

That puts us among the nation’s top ten highest-taxed states, along with New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Illinois, Minnesota and California.

It could even get worse because Gov. Jay Inslee (D) and lawmakers

health, an education, a strong family. Ending the remaining 25 percent cut to state food assistance, especially now in a recovering state economy, is a sound investment in our future.

Both chambers of the Legislature have shown leadership to fully restore state food assistance. When the legislature restored half of the 50-percent reduction in the state food assistance program two years ago to present level, State Sen. Joe Fain, R-Auburn, was a leader in that effort. Kudos to Sen. Fain for stepping up to that leadership role. This year, state Rep. Pat Sullivan, D-Covington, helped lead the House in proposing a full restoration.

Join me in asking Sen. Fain to pick up that role again here late in the 2015 legislative session to restore to whole the state food assistance program. [ more LETTERS page 8 ]

are wrangling over the new two-year budget, and despite the fact our state’s tax collections are expected to grow by 8.7 percent over the next two years, Inslee wants $1.4 billion in new taxes on capital gains and carbon emissions.

As the Association of Washington Business (AWB) points out, taxes matter when it comes to how attractive our state is to prospective employers, whether they are large, medium or small businesses.

[8] April 24, 2015 [ CORNFIELD from page 7 ] meaningful and respect the political parties’ rights of association in the process,” she wrote.

Wyman, a Republican, made the same pitch to her own party, but it wasn’t a hard sell. The GOP had already pledged to allocate half its delegates in that manner.

In getting Democrats on board, too, Wyman wanted to give meaning to a primary inspired by voters and created by lawmakers in 1989. The problem is the political parties aren’t bound by primary results, making it an expensive poll – one that was canceled in 2004 and 2012.

www.kentreporter.com This year, Wyman crafted legislation that covered the offer she made the two parties. And she said that, absent their agreement, there’s no point in holding a presidential primary.

“I can’t support $11.5 million being spent on a beauty contest that means nothing to the parties,” Wyman said Monday in a public hearing on the bill in front of the House Appropriations Committee.

Rep. Ross Hunter, D-Medina, the committee chairman, proposed changes Monday to require both parties to allot at least 75 percent of their delegates based on the primary results. It was a somewhat cynical move, given his party’s decision days earlier.

“I would like to hold out hope they would come to the decision that people who are disenfranchised by the caucus, who work on Saturdays, people who have children and cannot make the caucus, should still be able to vote and help select the most important person in the known universe,” Hunter said.

Lawmakers must still pass a bill to formally cancel the 2016 primary.

Then it will be another four years before they face this quandary again.

taxes. Washington residents pay an average of $4,291 per year in sales and excise taxes. In Oregon, the best state, residents pay just $489.

High taxes have an impact on employment as well.

While the Seattle economy is “white hot” as the Seattle Times editorializes, that prosperity is not shared throughout our state.

The bottom line is our state legislature should not pile on taxes and business costs because the higher the cost to produce a product or provide a service, the less likely employers will locate in Washington.

There is no question that providing funds for emergency services, education and other necessary services of government takes money – lots of it. The state budget is always a balancing act, but 4,400-foot-long trail will benefit recreationalists and bicycle commuters seeking to make a mid-valley, largely-off-right-of-way connection between our two significant valley regional trails.

The Kent Valley is becoming a magnet for firms with an active workforce that is very interested in using our two valley regional trails for getting to and from their work places. We’re also pleased to see the city’s efforts to make improvements to the trails in order to bring more families into Kent to enjoy all the city has to offer recreationally.

The mid-valley connection between the Green River Trail and the Interurban Trail created by this project will increase riders’ choices in getting to their destinations.

lawmakers and Gov. Inslee need to be mindful of two things.

First, despite how well the Puget Sound area is doing, job creation is anemic elsewhere in the state. The unemployment rate in Washington remains above the national average. Politicians must be mindful of the impact that high taxes and other business costs have in the majority of our state that is still suffering.

The bottom line is taxes, business costs and rankings do matter.

for a crosswalk) will provide a safe crossing at West Valley Highway for trail users. This trail should also increase overall bicycle use in the city by offering an important trail connection that is largely off the surface streets and away from vehicular traffic.

Also exciting is the city’s ability to leverage local funds for this project. We are pleased to see that the city’s capital investment of $300,000 is being combined with a $1.25 million federal grant to complete this project. We see this as a prudent use of public funds to achieve a practical and attractive amenity for the community.

The chamber views this project as a win on multiple levels, and is pleased to express our support for it.

Peer Leaders help the homeless Students involved in the Kent School District’s Peer Leaders’ after-school program delivered clothing items April 8 to help the homeless.

Clothing was delivered at KentHOPE, a nonprofit agency that provides resources and services to the homeless community in South King County.

According to Peer Leader coordinator Sonia Ramirez, students during the year collected clothing donations from Kent-Meridian

and Kentridge high schools, Mill Creek Middle School, Green River and Highline colleges, and the Kent Police Station.

The students decided to donate all the clothing items to KentHOPE. “This is the second time our Peer Leaders coordinated a district-wide community service project to make an impact in their community through KentHOPE,” Ramirez said. “They take responsibility for the entire activity. ... This is all part of helping students to build leadership skills and a cul-

ture of giving back to their community.”

The Latino/a Educational Achievement Project (LEAP) in Kent and five other school districts in Washington offer the Peer Leaders program.

Middle and high school students meet weekly following a curriculum that focuses on college awareness and readiness, leadership, civic engagement and community service.

In Kent, the program is offered at Mill Creek Middle School and Kent Meridian and Kentridge high schools.

FUN WITH BRICKS AND WHEELS Lego-stocked shop brings in families, and collectors Two sorts of Lego builders stalk this world.

Aaron Fike, owner of Bricks and Wheels, a Kent store specializing in second-hand Legos, caters to both.

“Some of the parents come in and say, ‘Aw, my kid just builds by the instructions, I wish they’d use their imagination more,’ while the others come in and say, ‘My kid builds by the instructions, then smashes it and builds other stuff,’ ” said Fike, 33. “We try and tell people it’s all great. There is no wrong way.

Lego has so many educational and formative aspects to it.”

For nearly a year, Bricks and Wheels, which sells Hot Wheels cars too, has been the local spot for full sets of Lego fun, or for that special brick a builder needs to finish a creative project.

Fike has been a fan of the building system ever since he was a kid.

“Me and my older brother had what we thought was all the Legos in the world,” Fike said.

“But looking back, most of my customers have way more than we did then. But we had half of a tub and could do anything with them.”

Although most of the time Fike and his brother used their bricks with other toys, like G.I. Joe and Star Wars action figures, one particular set stands out.

“The biggest one we had by far was Victory Lap Racing,” Fike said, pointing to the already-built, 1988 Formula One

racing set on a display cabinet.

“My aunt bought it for us. It’s nothing we would have gotten on our own. I built that so many times as a kid.”

Fike said his love for the toy continued into adulthood. It even captured the imagination of his four children, aged 11, 8, 6 and 5.

“They’re all Lego fans, so we had a lot in the house,” Fike said.

Until a few years ago, Fike had a solid career as a marketing consultant to local warehouses and distributors, but he wasn’t satisfied.

“Most of the companies were too big to appreciate what we were doing,” Fike said. “We would go save somebody tens of millions of dollars, even if they had to change three types of paperwork to do it, and they wouldn’t do it. So I traded that for a completely different brand of customer here.”

Originally, Fike – who on the side buys the contents of abandoned storage units – planned to set up a combination thrift store-Lego shop in the space he leased at 12135 Southeast KentKangley Road. But soon enough it was clear what the shop’s real draw was – the bricks.

By last August, the thrift store offerings were on the way out, and the Lego Star Wars wing was open.

“There is more of it than anything else. It’s the strongest genre and saved the company when they had their trouble in the ’90s,” Fike said. “The super heroes are huge, too. There is a lot that’s huge for them. All of

Each year, the National Main Street Center and its partners announce the list

the different stuff has its fans, but Star Wars is definitely a formidable category. They’ve been doing it so long, there is so much out there. There is more of it than anything else.”

Even if the shop’s been open for less than a year, Fike said, it has been a roaring success.

“Most of (the Lego hobby and specialty shops) are really geared towards collectors, but as a builder and a father, it didn’t offer a lot for me,” Fike said. “The secondary Lego market is gigantic. It’s multi-millions of dollars on Amazon and eBay and places like that. And if you’re the 40-year-old guy rebuilding your sets from when you were a kid, or building a huge Star Wars ship, those places work out great. But if you’re an 8-year-old looking for a piece, you’re having to pay top dollar. I felt like it shouldn’t be that way.”

Despite the mainline thinking that said targeting collectors was the way to make money, Fike went with his gut feeling – he aimed for the builder.

“We get a lot of stuff traded in,” Fike explained. “The M.O. of the market is to squeeze everything you can out of that, get every penny and dollar out of it.

We don’t invest the time to sort everything, inventory it and put it on the Internet. As long as we can get the customer the thing they need, it doesn’t have to cost that much.”

Although there are pieces that can fetch up to $100 because they were only made in one set, Fike said he prefers options such as his store’s fill-a-bag, where

Lego creativity: Aaron Fike and his 11-year-old son, Brandon Demarsh, show off one of Bricks and Wheels’ custom-made Sonics logos. SHAWN SKAGER, Auburn Reporter customers purchase bricks in bulk from large bins. Fike said it counts for 95 percent of his business.

“It costs $15 for a quart, $25 for a gallon,” he said.

Besides the retail side of the business, Bricks and Wheels has sunk its roots deeply into the life of the Kent-Auburn community.

Fike said he participates in the Bricks4Kidz program, donating bricks to local schools.

“It’s a full-time Lego educational group that does things after school with a lot of the schools,” Fike said. “That keeps us tied in with the community.

We’ve done some Lego nights with the schools around here.

We’re just a Lego family that wants to be the type of place that we wish was around for us.

Ethen shared his ideas and his company’s $16,000 remote-controlled aircraft with colleagues at the Unmanned Systems Spring Forum, Trade Show and Networking Event at Kent’s CenterPoint Corporate Park last week.

Fountainhead Northwest LLC and the city of Kent hosted the event, which brought in 200 business leaders and vendors from

www.kentreporter.com Washington and the Northwest. The program included guest speakers from a wide range of UAV-affiliated fields. Groups also toured the University of Washington Applied Physics Lab and participated in demonstrations at the Green River College flight simulator.

The city’s Economic and Community Development department is working with business and industry leaders and the colleges to explore potential partnerships to create a UAV technology hub in Kent.

According to industry leaders, the potential partnership would develop a “maker space� lab for the research, development and testing of UAVs in the hopes of enticing business

leaders and industries to choose Kent as their business destination.

The Kent Valley already has a legacy in the UAV industry through Boeing’s space research and development, and advances made by other cuttingedge companies, like Blue Origin, which is working on launch vehicles to carry people to space. “The talent and the technology are already here in the valley, and so are some of the buildings,� said Bill Ellis, a city of Kent economic development analyst. “But the question is: how do we build that industry going forward?�

Traditionally, unmanned aerial systems (UAS) have been military tools designed

to perform intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions. But with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) actively integrating these systems into the National Airspace System, the civilian and commercial use of drones should increase dramatically in the years ahead.

The market for small and medium drones likely will see the greatest growth in civil and commercial operations, industry leaders say. And Washington, like other states, stands to gain financially in job growth.

Industry leaders acknowledge that drones tend to conjure up images of military use and war weaponry. And despite the public’s concerns about security

and privacy, especially with domestic drones, the multipurpose craft is here to stay, industry leaders say.

Count the ways UAVs of all kinds are being used in a wide range of roles.

They are ideal for crop monitoring, 3D mapping and imaging, surveying and surveillance, air quality control and pollution monitoring, and disaster assessment.

Agriculturally, UAVs can be an effective tool, Ethen said.

His company, NW Aerial Perspectives, offers camera-equipped UAVs, including the one displayed at the show, which features a 10½-foot wingspan and supports enough battery life to power a 2½-hour flight.

Ethen’s company specializes in UAV-assisted, precision agriculture and aerial videography, providing ranchers, farmers and others a cost-effective managerial eye from the sky. “We can get multispectral photographs to detect the health of the plant, whether there is too much or too little water, whether there’s leaks in your irrigation system,� he said.

Such data and photography can help farmers better treat and protect their crops, perhaps saving billions of dollars in costs, Ethen said. “We can help people save money ‌ money spent in pesticides, fertilizers and water for farming,â€? he said.

UAVs also help monitor the environment, including the protection of habitat and estuaries throughout the world.

Kent-based Blue Origin BE-3 rocket engine ready for flight Kent-based Blue Origin recently completed acceptance testing of its BE-3 rocket engine, the first new hydrogen engine to be developed in the United States in more than a decade.

The 110,000-lbf (pounds of force) BE-3 will power Blue Origin’s New Shepard suborbital system, and later, will be modified for upper stage applications, according to a company media release on April 7. “The BE-3 has now been fired for more than 30,000 seconds over the course of 450 tests,� said Jeff Bezos, Blue Origin founder, in a media release. “We test, learn, refine and then test

Drones also can act as aerial construction and repair workers, help fight fires, log forests, support disaster relief, fight crime in the neighborhood, inspect oil rigs and deliver goods.

Career opportunities Green River and the UW are preparing students for the UAV and UAS generation.

The UW has become a premier research institution with programs and expertise in UAS. At Auburn, the Green River Aviation Technology Department launched a program in April that introduces students to the requirements of operating a UAV. The two-year applied science program should develop into a four-year degree option for students.

George Comollo, the aviation department’s senior instructor, is seeing a growing demand for UAV uses and for people capable of designing, building, repairing and running them.

Colin Nesbitt, who retired after 22 years in the Army, decided to return to college and get back into the aviation game. He was part of UAS surveillance missions in Iraq. After leaving the military, Nesbitt jumped at the chance to earn a UAS basic operator certificate at Green River.

By the end of summer classes, he expects to have airline dispatch and UAS degrees, making himself even more marketable. “It’s something I’ve always been interested in,�

Nesbitt said. “For me, it’s a new career in systems I already know.�

again to push our engines.

The Blue Origin team did an outstanding job exploring the corners of what the BE-3 can do and soon we’ll put it to the ultimate test of flight.�

The BE-3 can be continuously throttled between 110,000-lbf and 20,000-lbf thrust, a key capability for vertical takeoff and vertical landing vehicles. The testing profile included multiple mission duty cycles, deep throttling and off-nominal test points. “Liquid hydrogen is challenging, deep throttling is challenging and reusability is challenging,� said Bezos. “This engine has all three.

The rewards are highest performance, vertical landing even with a single-engine vehicle and low cost. And, as a future upper stage engine, hydrogen greatly increases payload capabilities.�

Pets on Parade Thirty-one dogs and a miniature horse strolled the streets of downtown Kent last Saturday during the Kent Downtown Partnership’s Pampered Pet Walk.

The walk began at Down Home Catering and wound its way through downtown, with Kent Mayor Suzette Cooke leading the way and pointing out local businesses and history, before wrapping up at Kherson Park on Gowe Street.

Pets and their owners paraded in front of judges, who awarded prizes to dogs dressed in their best sports gear.

There was also a trick competition, and prizes were awarded to the three pets with the best tricks.

Dogs could cool off with a puppuccino (whipped cream in a bowl).

This was the first Pampered Pet Walk in Kent, and event organizers said they hope to make it at least an annual event.

Boogie with best buddies!

Clockwise from top: Gizmo enjoys a puppuccino (whipped cream) after the pet walk.

K-M’s Barton finds success as sprinter small in numbers. (This year) we have a lot more numbers and younger people.”

Barton is waiting to see if his future holds offers to run at the collegiate level.

If that doesn’t work out, he plans to play football.

“I seem to be most dominate in track,” he said. “But football is my passion.”

Barton has played football since he was 7. He is primarily a cornerback but also plays receiver and running back.

Barton is someone the other athletes can look up to, said Christiansen, who is in his first year as head coach.

“He has been a great team leader,” he said. “He leads by example.”

Barton enjoys the atmosphere of the track team.

“I try to push my teammates as well as I can,” he said.

Christiansen sees a lot of potential in this year’s track team. The boys team is relatively young, with a lot of juniors.

“I think we will make a good appearance at state this year,” he said.

Kent-Meridian has a strong tradition of track and field. In Christiansen’s eight years at the school, 25 students have gone on to participate in track and field in college. The boys team won state in 2011 and finished second in 2009.

“It is one of our sports – something we take a lot of pride in,” Christiansen said.

In only his second year on the track and field team, Kent-Meridian High senior Nate Barton is ranked among the top boys’ 400-meter runners in the state.

Barton set a personalbest 49.54 seconds in a meet against Tahoma on April 16, finishing nearly two seconds ahead of the next finisher.

At the beginning of April, Barton had the fastest 400 time in the state. He was fourth in the rankings after the Tahoma meet.

Barton, a football and basketball player, joined the track team his junior year, after track coaches encouraged him to give running a try.

“It took us three years to get him to come out,” said co-head track coach Michael Christiansen. “He has really carried over to a great senior year.”

Barton decided to stick with track after seeing he was a natural sprinter. He also runs the 200, with a personal-best 22.82 seconds, and the 4x100 relay.

He has also competed in the triple and long jumps but decided to focus on running this year.

Barton qualified for districts last season but was unable to compete because of family issues. He was also a part of the 4x100 relay team that qualified for state, but he did not run due to injury.

NEW ERA BEGINS AT EMERALD DOWNS Businesslike president takes charge as track opens 20th season

BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Phil Ziegler is all business.

For the most part.

As befits a former marketing director, Ziegler, president of Muckleshoot Tribe-owned Emerald Downs, LLC in Auburn, sticks to the message on most points, lauding past ownership, explaining planned improvements and larger horse fields.

Get the 51-year-old Long Island, N.Y., native talking about horse racing, however, and not just the business end of it, and you get a different side of the man.

Phil Ziegler brings enthusiasm and knowledge to Emerald Downs in Auburn as president of the Muckleshoot Tribe“It goes back to my dad,” owned track. Ziegler will oversee some subtle changes to the track while maintaining efforts to bring more families Ziegler said. “Everybody has and younger fans to the sport.

It was the Muckleshoot Tribe, to hire him. games, or whatever the activity was. For us, during a great era of racing – you had Ziegler began writing the next chapter in it was going to the track (Belmont Park) on three Triple Crown winners in the ’70s Emerald Downs racing last Saturday when the big days.” when I was a kid.”

Emerald Downs opened for its 20th season.

Ziegler fondly recalls a golden age of Perhaps it is those fond memories of He follows Ron Crockett, the track’s founder racing. the heyday of Thoroughbred racing in and president for 19 years and president of “Oh, if anybody would remember the ’70s, or the enthusiasm that fizzes the Northwest Racing Associates. these horses,” Ziegler said. “There was over when he talks about the past, that Racing resumes at 2 p.m. this Saturday.

Ziegler’s history with the tribe – he was marketing director for the Muckleshoot Casino for 10 years (1995-2005). He was also executive general manager and marketing director at Zia Park racetrack in New Mexico and for the past 7½ years, director of marketing at the Coushatta Resort Casino in Louisiana.

Whatever the reason for his hiring, Ziegler is poised to help the Muckleshoot Tribe further its investment in Thoroughbred racing in the Pacific Northwest.

“They’re the heroes in this,” Ziegler said. “They’ve contributed over $12 million in purses since they bought the land.

They’ve invested and are going to invest more to enhance the experience here.

When you look at all they’ve done for the sport, and now they’re taking over ownership of the track, a lot of people are excited. It’s about them and not me.”

Among the changes coming to the track this season is the addition of a big screen monitor above the tote board, allowing for better viewing of a whole race, including the backstretch. “(It’s) really going to enhance the fan experience,” Ziegler said. “To me, the biggest difference with horse racing, against any other sport, is it’s the one sport where you bring your kid, and for the most part you can’t see, except for a few seconds of the race. Imagine [being] a kid, first time you’re on the rail, and you can’t see the race.”

Ziegler hopes the track can increase the number of horses in individual races.

“Field sizes were down last year and the horse population. That’s an issue throughout the country.”

New Federal Estate Tax Law May Allow Simplification of Estate Plans The new tax law may allow simplification of estate plans designed to minimize tax liability. The exemption amount has been increased from $1.0 million to $5.0 million. Previous estate plans that included a Credit Shelter Trust to protect against Federal Estate Tax may now be simplified to avoid probate on the death of the first spouse.

Please contact our office to schedule an appointment to review your existing estate plan to see if it can now be simplified.

shade-loving perennials but a new perennial is climbing the rungs of the popularity ladder so look for beautiful brunnera plants this month at area nurseries. Brunnera has large colorful leaves much like a hosta but is more slug and deer resistant.

Brunnera also displays sky blue blossoms on airy stems in the spring and a neat and tidy growing habit. Like hosta the brunnera will look best in a shaded spot that has rich soil amended with compost and the plants will look their best if kept moist the first summer as they build a root system.

Other perennials that will grow in the shade are lamiums, primroses, corydalis, saxifrage and bleeding heart.

For late summer and fall color, add Japanese anemone but use this aggressive perennial only in areas of dry shade – Japanese anemone is tall, dramatic and

attractive but a real tramp in the garden as she will sneak into other beds uninvited.

Q. I learned (from one of your seminars) that plants with gray leaves are drought resistant, slug resistant and deer resistant. Sound like just what I need. Please give me the names of some gray foliage plants. C.R., Renton

A. You may not find fifty shades of gray at your local nursery but you will find soft gray leaves on lamb’s ear, finely cut foliage on the silver gray Artemisia and many shades of gray from various lavenders to add to the dry places in your garden.

For contrast with all that shiny silver foliage, add the rich burgundy of crimson barberry or the drought resistant Royal Purple Smoke Tree.

Q. I have earwigs and sow

bugs that are eating the petals of my pansies and also damaging vegetable seedlings. How can I control these pests without resorting to chemicals or poisons? O.G., Enumclaw

A.

You hold the answer in your hands if you’re reading a newspaper. Crumble up a wad of damp newspaper, hide a bit of potato or ripe fruit inside the folds of the paper and place this harmless trap near the damaged plants.

Damp newspaper will lure earwigs, sow bugs and as a bonus, slugs and snails that all seek the cool dampness of the paper once the sun rises. In the morning collect the paper wads and you’ll find the guilty plant nibblers inside the paper.
