City Council approves tougher leash, scoop laws

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

Kent’s putting more bite into its animal leash and scoop laws.

The City Council unanimously approved an amended animal control ordinance on Tuesday night to clarify the city’s leash law

and add a scoop law so that more dog owners keep their pets on leashes and clean up after them.

The new law also gives Kent Police enforcement power rather than just King County Animal Control officers. Kent contracts with Regional Animal Services of

King County to provide animal control officers and shelter services. That costs the city about $300,000 per year.

City staff made the new leash law similar to the city of Vancouver.

Fines for failing to leash a dog are $100 for the first offense, $200 for

the second, $400 for the third and $500 for four or more violations.

The city could file criminal charges if someone has four or more violations in one year or fails to pay the fines that could lead to a $1,000 fine or 90 days in jail.

“This is not intended as puni-

tive punishment but preventative, encouraging social norms to be as such and residents to know there is an ordinance to back them up if they let a fellow resident know to kindly put your dog on a leash,” said City Parks Director Jeff Watling [ more LAWS page 5 ]

Kent superintendent goes back to school for first day of classes

Like many students and teachers returning to the classroom, Kent School District Superintendent Calvin Watts experienced some first-day jitters Monday.

“When I think about all the planning, all the fantastic strategic planning that goes in to opening a school district, I certainly had a set of nerves this morning,” said Watts, who took over the district’s top post in June. “I was comforted when I thought about the

to go up as more and more businesses are brought into the system.

Kent has added 104 new accounts from January through August, Barbara Lopez, city financial planning manager, told the Kent City Council at its Tuesday workshop. Those accounts resulted in $662,000 in past due payments and will bring in an estimated $410,000 annually.

“The Watts household is now experiencing school very differently for the first time in Kent School District,” said Watts, who moved to the area from Georgia with his wife and son this summer after [ more SCHOOL page 4 ]

“Most are folks who didn’t realize we had a B&O,” Lopez said. “We found them in a variety of different ways or they found us.”

The B&O tax, which the city added in 2013 to help pay for street repairs, brought in more than $6 million last year and is estimated to break the $6 million mark again this year. [ more B&O page 8 ]

Ever since opening its main campus on Auburn’s Lea Hill in 1965, Green River College has offered residents a local option to reach their higher education goals.

Fifty years on, the college has grown to include satellite campuses in Kent, Enumclaw and downtown Auburn.

Green River will mark its 50th birthday with various events throughout the school year.

“It’s a huge milestone,” said Allison Friedly, Green River’s executive director of college relations. “We are looking forward to serving the community for the next 50 years.”

The celebration kicks off Thursday, Sept. 10, with the First 50 Breakfast. [ more COLLEGE page 4 ]

COUPON SALE & END of CLEARANCE SUMMER BLOWOUT A crew from All Pro Building Maintenance, about a dozen strong, cleans the Meeker Street underpass last weekend, part of a larger beautification effort. MARK KLAAS, Kent Reporter

Major underpass gets a long-awaited cleaning One of Kent’s busiest underpasses received a thorough cleaning this past weekend.

A crew from Kent’s All Pro Building Maintenance power-washed the underside of the State Route 167 overpass on Meeker Street. The underpass connects the city’s downtown core – and its growing number of residents – to businesses on Washington Avenue.

Part of a larger beautification effort, the cleaning is the first phase of planned underpass improvements, which, depending on the success of a fundraising effort, could include creative paint treatment, improved lighting, art or a combination of the three.

“We have a great city, and we want to keep it clean,” said Randall Smith, president of All Pro, who oversaw the extensive cleaning project. “And it takes all of us to keep our city clean.”

While the city has fronted the necessary cleanup costs, the beautification project is in the fundraising stage.

The Kent Downtown Partnership has raised more than $10,000 to apply to an estimated initial cost of $50,000 to commission a lasting design for the underpass.

The KDP also helped pay for part of the labor in collecting garbage at the cleanup site last weekend. Republic Services donated a Dumpster.

Individuals interested in the fundraising effort may contact Bill Ellis at wellis@ KentWA.gov or 253-856-5707.

City Council approves new fire impact fee on developers

LOCAL

KENT

September 4, 2015 [3]

BY STEVE HUNTER

shunter@kentreporter.com

Developers will have to pay a fire impact fee in Kent after the City Council unanimously approved the new fee on Tuesday night.

The Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority asked the city for more funds to help build five new

stations over the next 16 years or so in an effort to improve response times.

The base fire impact fee for a single-family home will be a one-time cost of about $1,741.

Developers are expected to add that cost on to the price of a home. The fee for a new commercial building will be about $1.21 per square foot.

The fees will be assessed on new residential or commercial properties and the expansion of existing commercial structures but not the additions on singlefamily homes.

The city will collect the fee for the Kent Fire Department RFA through an interlocal agreement.

The fire department used to be part of the city until

voters in Kent, Covington and Fire District 37 approved the formation of the RFA in 2010.

The agency is funded through a property tax levy and a fire benefit charge, a variable rate based on the square footage and the amount of service provided to each house or business. Kent previously funded its fire

department through the city’s general fund.

The fees will cover about 30 percent of the total cost of construction of the new stations, fire officials said.

About 70 percent would be funded by residents and businesses in the RFA district. [ more FEE page 4 ]

Sound Transit identifies potential projects FOR THE REPORTER

SMOKY FIRE EVACUATES ‘PACKING PEANUT’ PLANT IN KENT A smoky fire at a “packing peanut� plant in Kent caused the evacuation of the building early Monday afternoon, the Kent Fire Department reported.

The fire, at the plant located in the 20400 block of 87 Avenue South, was confined to the mechanical equipment used in the manufacture and packaging of “packing peanuts.�

Kent firefighters quickly extinguished the fire.

The fire department’s ventilation fans pushed out the smoke from the building.

The smoky fire caused approximately $30,000 in damages to the manufacturing equipment only.

There were no reports of injuries to employees of the business or firefighters.

Following extensive input from the public and local governments across the region, the Sound Transit Board identified the projects that will be studied as potential candidates for a November 2016 Sound Transit 3 ballot measure.

Results of studies completed during the coming months will help the board decide which of the projects should be included in a draft ballot measure for more public input early next year, according to a Sound Transit media release on Aug. 28.

The candidate projects are listed online at soundtransit3.org, with an interactive map.

Sound Transit 3 will respond to the strong support across the region for additional mass transit expansions as the region’s population grows by an estimated 1 million residents through 2040.

The projected growth is equivalent to adding the current combined populations of Seattle, Tacoma and Everett.

In June and July Sound Transit received thousands of written comments and survey responses on which projects from the regional transit long-range plan rep-

Wee Scholars Academy

resent the highest priorities.

A total of 1,025 people submitted written comments at meetings across the region and by email and mail, and more than 70 local governments and organizations sent comment letters. The nearly 25,000 people who took a non-scientific online survey more than doubled the response to 2014 public involvement that guided board actions to update the long-range plan.

Public input reflected strong continuing support for priorities including but not limited to extensions of light rail spine to Everett, Tacoma and downtown Redmond; light rail extensions to Seattle’s Ballard and West Seattle areas; bus rapid transit on I-405; and an array of other potential investments including additional light rail extensions and improvements to ST Express bus and Sounder commuter rail services and facilities.

Each of the identified candidate projects will be studied to generate estimates of ridership, capital operating and maintenance

costs; travel times and reliability; potential for transit-oriented development; and other factors including benefits, needs and potential risks.

Over the past 14 years Sound Transit has developed a strong track record delivering mass transit investments. The University Link light rail extension, with new stations on Seattle’s Capitol Hill and at Husky Stadium, is on track to open in early 2016, ahead of schedule and approximately $150 million under budget.

In 2016 Sound Transit is also on track for a potential early opening its extension to Angle Lake in SeaTac, one stop further south from the airport.

In 2021 light rail service is scheduled to open to Northgate. By 2023 Sound Transit is on track to extend service further north to Lynnwood, south to Kent/ Des Moines and east to Redmond’s Overlake area.

The extensions are expected to increase overall weekday ridership to more than 350,000 by 2030.

Operation Homefront Pacific Northwest provided a Back-to-School Brigade event, giving free backpacks and school supplies to hundreds of local military children.

My wife, quite frankly, was experiencing a little sadness as she saw him get on the bus for the first day, even though he has been a bus rider before, just not in this environment.�

The two were watching the movie “Hot Tub Time Machine 2” when a dispute started. The woman told officers they had been drinking vodka and smoking meth when her boyfriend accused her of having an affair with another man, according to the police report.

“My wife was bitten by a dog as a child, she won’t go to the park by herself because she’s worried about getting bit by a dog,” said Higgins, who added he often sees dogs running free at the park even with a sign that says dogs must be on a leash.

The man who had the bat told officers he went to the home to try to find his girlfriend and thought she was inside the home with a few of her friends, according to the police report.

A man on the porch told the man his girlfriend wasn’t at the home and told him to leave. The man then went to his vehicle and came back with a baseball bat. He reportedly swung the bat at a man but missed him. The man’s friends called 911. The man with the bat claimed he acted in self defense.

Gov. Jay Inslee might have what it takes to become president, according to one political consultant. COURTESY PHOTO

Our ‘green’ governor and a run at the White House?

O L E T T E R S...Y O U R O P I N I O N CO U N T S: To submit an item or photo:

Gov. Jay Inslee isn’t making plans to run for president in 2016.

But a onetime political adviser is making the case why Washington’s first-term Democratic governor should go to Iowa and try to win the caucuses – even if he doesn’t want the job.

“Sure, this is a long shot, but Inslee has a legitimate pathway to the presidency,” D.J. Wilson wrote Monday on Crosscut, an online news site.

Really?

I phoned Wilson, a political consultant and former Edmonds City Councilmember, to find out if this was a trial balloon he inflated on behalf of the governor or his friends.

“Gov. Inslee has given me no indication he wants to run for president. I did not write it because the governor asked me to,” Wilson said. “I don’t think he intends to run for president. I don’t think it’s on his radar screen.”

So what possessed Wilson to suggest such an improbable course of action?

OUR CORNER

When gender stereotypes become harmful For centuries, people have separated children based on their gender.

When a girl is born, she is the little princess, and when a boy is born he is the little man.

There is nothing wrong or bad about this.

Wrapping a newborn girl in a pink blanket as opposed to a blue one for a boy has no affect on the child.

It only becomes wrong and possibly harmful to the child when parents force a child to grow up based on these sex stereotypes.

I grew up as a tomboy. I didn’t like to wear dresses or pink hair ties, I played outside in the dirt and wore boots and overalls. This wasn’t a bad thing.

My parents didn’t think anything

was wrong with me, they just knew I enjoyed being a tomboy.

When I grew older I took martial arts classes, which many people see as a male sport. The studio I practiced in was next to a ballet studio. Many of the ballerina girls and parents would tell me that I should not act like a boy, or that it was improper for me to spar with the boys.

This is more common than you

There are grievances on both sides. There are also mistaken impressions at times.

Medical examiner’s results indicated that Michael Brown was charging Darren Wilson when he was shot. It was determined by the investigators to have been a justified shooting based on self-defense. However, Wilson was dismissed from the police department and now lives in fear in another town where he has trouble finding employment.

Some idiot just gave a Nazi salute in court after being convicted of murder in the Jewish Center shooting.

There’s a lot of self-pity and nursing of hurt feelings going on in America. Everyone needs to chill out a little – including Kanye – and smoke a peace pipe or something. Take a deep breath. Treat people like you [ more LETTERS page 8 ]

would think. If you look around, you will see these gender stereotypes exist everywhere.

Most boys play catch in the backyard while most girls stay inside to play. The key word here is “most.”

There are many cases where girls participate in stereotypical “boy activities” and many cases where boys enjoy “girl activities.”

These gender stereotypes for children come from many times and places in their lives. It starts with the parents as they influence the young lives. Parents will always have [ more MOSS page 7 ]

www.kentreporter.com [ CORNFIELD from page 6 ] Inslee tapped for advice in his 2012 gubernatorial campaign, said, to begin with, the contours of the 2016 race may bring out another Democratic candidate.

He contends there’s concern among Democrats that frontrunner Hillary Clinton can’t overcome the damage of the FBI investigation into her use of a private email server, and Bernie Sanders won’t win enough support of the party’s mainstream to be the torchbearer in her stead.

Secondly – and this is where Inslee fits in – neither Clinton nor Sanders is making much of a deal about climate change and the environment.

That’s Inslee’s political passion.

If he joined the field and made environmental issues the rallying cry of his candidacy, it would energize throngs of young voters in the party’s base not all that engaged in Iowa or the rest of the nation, Wilson said.

“This is less about Jay and more about the opportunity,” he said.

KENT ‘SWIM UP’: A fish’s view of the Green River is what Mark Powell of Washington Environmental Council (WEC) and Alex Thompson of REI reported on when they completed their one-mile swim from Russell Woods Park to Van Doren’s Park in Kent at a Swim Up on Aug. 26.

The Green River, which becomes the Duwamish River as it flows into the Puget Sound, is just one segment of Powell’s 85-mile swim of the Duwamish.

Coined Swim Duwamish, Powell’s swim is focused on telling the full story of the Duwamish River – and helping draw the connection between the health of the river and the health of Puget Sound.

According to Kent Parks Director Jeff Watling, Van Doren’s Park is the perfect location to highlight that connection.

“The Green River as it winds through Kent plays a critical role in flood protection, habitat and recreation. Balancing between these three priorities has been and continues to be a high priority for the city,” Watling said. “From Native Americans, through early settlement of the valley, to modern day, Van Doren’s Park has long been a place where people have interacted with the river.”

Hops & Crops Music and Beer Festival returns REPORTER STAFF

Cold craft beers and ciders, soulful music, newly planted gardens and plenty of room to roam about in a beautiful setting.

The Hops & Crops Music and Beer Festival brings its unique blend of selected sights, sounds and tastes to the adult crowd on Sept. 12.

The sixth annual brew-fest returns to historic Mary Olson Farm, offering new attractions, a wide range of music and, of course, satisfying suds.

The festival runs from noon to 6 p.m. at the farm, 28728 Green River Road SE, Auburn.

Eleven area breweries will occupy the beer garden, serving up more than 30 craft beers and ciders.

All for a good cause.

Proceeds support educational programming at the farm, an Auburn treasure and a King County Landmark that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The event continues to grow as a regional attraction for the 21-and-up crowd.

There’s time to forge an impression in Iowa and snag enough delegates to become part of the campaign conversation, Wilson contended.

Here’s how Wilson said it could work: In each Iowa precinct, candidates are awarded delegates in rough proportion to their election results as long as they get at least 15 percent of the votes in that precinct.

The second influence in a child’s life is school.

September 4, 2015 [7] counties where the majority of Iowa’s Democratic voters live and voila, a presidential contender is born. The ingredients for such success would be an organized campaign plus a disciplined candidate and about $5 million — all of which could be assembled in short order.

Under Wilson’s scenario, Inslee can’t lose even if he doesn’t win.

A presidential bid would give Inslee a national platform to preach on the matter he cares about most deeply: protecting the environment against the damag-

sports and dress in different ways. There is nothing wrong with this, as long as children like what they are doing.

When children begin to grow up and learn what they like, they start making decisions of their own. They start out as small decisions of course, but they will all affect the child as he or she grows up. And if a parent were to keep a child from doing something he or she enjoys because it is not the appropriate sex for the

ing effects of carbon emissions and climate change.

“There is a pathway here for him to become the second- or third-most-important progressive voice in the country,” Wilson said.

That kind of attention won’t hurt Inslee’s pursuit of a second term as governor, which is something he’s already begun.

activity, that is when the stereotype becomes harmful to the child and can immensely affect the kind of person the child becomes.

The issue here is not what boys and girls should do, it’s what they want to do.

Instead of raising a child solely based on gender stereotypes, allow him or her to try different things.

Encourage the young boys to try art; encourage the young girls to play a sport.

There is nothing wrong with liking something that

normally “belongs” to the opposite sex.

I grew up knowing being a tomboy was just me being me, because my parents accepted me and made sure I knew I was loved unconditionally. Even though I had to ignore others and their harsh judgments, I knew that being me was perfectly perfect.

[ B&O from page 1 ] The first $700,000 of the tax revenue goes to cover staff costs. The funds in excess of a $4.7 million cap go to help pay down city debt in the capital improvement fund, although all money will go to streets starting in 2017.

But staffing this year will cost an estimated $530,000, saving about $170,000 in staff costs.

“These cost savings are largely due to the hiring and timing of new positions we got, so it’s not savings we are going to expect every year because we don’t anticipate having to hire those positions every year,” Lopez said.

The council last year approved four new positions to add to a two-person staff in an effort to boost tax revenues. The program has two field auditors, a desk auditor, a customer service specialist and by the end of the year will add a compliance officer. The compliance officer will follow up on business licenses to make sure if someone has a business license they also are filing B&O taxes, Lopez said.

“I am tickled pink,” Councilman Bill Boyce said in reaction to the new revenue numbers. “To think how we have evolved to where we were at eight months ago, we have made tremendous progress, and I want to say kudos to the team. We have a little ways to go but you are definitely moving in the right direction.”

The revenue numbers also impressed Council President Dana Ralph.

“We have come a long way since this whole plan was hatched and imple-

50 years of golf More than 100 current and former members and their guests celebrated Meridian Valley Country Club's 50th anniversary on Sunday.

The celebration featured a nine-hole golf tournament, golf-themed games and a dunk tank, as well as a classic car show.

The club was started by a group of Kent businessmen, led by Jack Lynch Sr., who decided a private golf and country club would add to the area.

Bowen Scarff, one of the 13 founding members of the club, was among attendees at the celebration.

GOING STRONG AT 107 REPORTER STAFF

Irma Morrison will tell you she has lived a wonderful life.

The Kent woman celebrates her 107th birthday with family and friends at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Aegis Inn, an assisted senior living and memory care facility on Kent’s East Hill.

“I don’t know how I got this old. … I just know to work hard. I know that life is worth living,” Irma said.

Irma is the oldest living resident in the Aegis’ 30 communities in Washington, California and Nevada, according to the company.

A third-generation Washingtonian, Irma was one of nine children born in Elberton, which is now a ghost town on the north fork of the Palouse River.

The family lived there and later in Reardan.

Irma was married to Harold Morrison for 63 years. They raised two

children, Twyla and Wayne. Harold did janitorial work when the family wasn’t tending to their farm in the Spokane area.

Irma helped raise 37 foster kids, mostly in the 1940s. She also worked as a nurse’s aid at a hospital in the 1950s and ’60s.

Irma has stayed strong in her later year, despite losing her eyesight.

She enjoys art, a passion reflected in her many oil paintings.

“I think I’ve done quite well with age,” she said.

“I’ve had a good life. I would like to live my life all over again.”

want to be treated. Be nice.

The human race is a violent species. We now have the capability to blow up the whole planet and everything on it. I think that’s very likely because tribes and countries just can’t get along. Greed, prejudice and stubborn tribalism rule. We all need to adjust our thinking and behave ourselves.

Rudeness and whining turns people off. People don’t listen when you shout, they only hear your anger.

Nursing hurt feelings over slavery is pointless.

Today’s Americans had nothing to do with slavery conducted decades ago. We can’t go back and fix that.

So stop whining about that and focus on making your own life as productive and

mented very quickly,” Ralph said. “It was new to everybody and I am grateful for the progress we have made.

And I am thankful the finance department brought forward their concerns (for more staff ). Without that conversation, we wouldn’t have been able to say here’s the budget come fix this.”

The finance department had a budget of $300,000 for two field auditors when the city started up the B&O tax in January 2013. Finance department staff said the additional staff would bring in enough revenue to cover staffing as well as additional funds for street repairs.

“We talked about adding additional staff and what that would bring to the numbers, and you said it would make up the difference and you have,” Councilman Jim Berrios said.

Berrios, who owns the Golden Steer Steak and Rib House on the East Hill, came away pleased that more businesses are paying the tax.

“It is exciting to see the numbers are what you said and then some,” Berrios said. “The $170,000, if that is the savings at the end of the year, would go into the CIP (capital improvement fund). We want to try to collect as much as we can. I am one of those paying that money and it’s coming off the top. That’s why it’s up close and personal for me.

So if there are people out there who haven’t paid, they need to pay their share.”

Lopez replied that’s the plan.

“Equity really is our focus,” Lopez said. “Every business paying its fair share and not a penny more and not a penny less.” fulfilling as possible.

I don’t hear Asians lamenting the extremely hard life their ancestors endured during early America. They were badly mistreated and exploited during the building of the railroad and the settlement of the West.

White people protested, marched and were killed while trying to register black voters. Working together, we changed laws and lives.

The law is meant to facilitate peace in our society.

Without law, there are no boundaries for people who foment trouble and threaten the safety and well-being of others.

I was moved by Rodney King’s haunting appeal: “Why can’t we all just get along?”

Resilient thrift store celebrates 40 years More volunteers needed to keep good thing going

BY MARK KLAAS mklaas@kentreporter.com

Quietly tucked away in historic downtown, the St. James Thrift Shop continues to speak volumes with its generosity.

For 40 years, the store has extended a helping hand to those greatly in need – either providing clothes vouchers for families or paying someone’s overdue electric bill.

“I’m excited about being a part of it,” said Dallas Shannon, volunteer and outreach director for St. James Episcopal Church, which operates the thrift shop. “Whether you’re involved in your church or not, it’s vital to what’s going on in Kent.”

The purpose of the store is just as important, the need just as great, if not greater today than it was in September 1975 when church leaders took a $200 loan from the vestry and rented a small space at 222 W. Meeker St. A small volunteer force soon began to collect donations and consignments from church members and the community, and the thrift shop opened for business that No-

The store in historic downtown Kent needs more volunteers to help serve a community in need. MARK KLAAS, Kent Reporter vember. The staff worked diligently, the loan was repaid by January and the store turned a $2,400 profit that first year, which was distributed back into the community.

Since then, the thrift store has survived tough economic times, two moves and the fear of closure.

It celebrates its 40th anniversary Sept. 12 with an open house from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at its home for the past eight years, 314 W. Meeker St. According to Sue Jones, a

longtime volunteer, the thrift shop has donated more than $20,000 in clothing and household goods vouchers to needy families in the past 10 years. She estimates the store has donated $1 million to many community organizations, causes and outreach programs since its inception 40 years ago.

The church remains committed to operating the nonprofit thrift store because of the money it generates, the purpose it serves and the

treasures it recycles.

“It’s busier. The need is greater,” said Lexie McShane, a third-generation volunteer at the store. “Donations are not always the best … but they are important. … People need us more.”

Shannon said his church sees about 20-30 needy families each week. For those it can’t help, the parish works with other churches in the community.

“If all the faith-based churches closed up one day and didn’t work in the community, it would be like a vacuum,” Shannon added.

While the thrift store is doing fine monetarily, it needs volunteers.

Many of its unpaid staff who stock and maintain the store have turned 70. Finding younger, willing souls who can put in a few hours each week has been a challenge.

A majority of the volunteers come from St. James, some from other churches.

“It’s not a bad gig. You come down here and you get to know people,” Shannon said, “We’re church people, but we’re not pushy.

We’re all here for the right cause.”

Donations and volunteers are always welcome.

K-M’s Daigbe ‘relentless beast’ on field

BY HEIDI SANDERS

hsanders@kentreporter.com

T-BIRDS SINGLE-GAME TICKETS ON SALE Seattle Thunderbirds singlegame tickets for the 2015-16 Western Hockey League regular season are on sale.

There are two options for purchasing single game tickets. Fans can go to the ShoWare Center box office or at seattlethunderbirds.com.

The ShoWare Center Box Office is open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Saturday game days at 10 a.m. and Sunday game days at noon. Seattle opens the home season on Oct. 3 against Prince George.

Wide receiver Emmanuel Daigbe may be a force on the football field, but the Kent-Meridian High School senior comes from a humble upbringing.

Born in the West African nation of Liberia, Daigbe moved to the United States with his family as a young child. He comes from a hard-working family, his parents striving to provide for Daigbe and his siblings.

“They (his parents) don’t have time to come to my games because they are always busy (working),” Daigbe said. “My dad has seen me once, but not a full game because he had to go to work.”

The 18-year-old started playing football as a seventh-grader at Mill Creek Middle School.

“I always used to run track, and I wanted to try a different sport,” he said.

Daigbe’s athleticism isn’t limited to the football field.

He was undefeated as a wrestler last year, winning the 182-pound Class 4A state title, which he hopes to repeat this season.

Kent-Meridian High’s Emmanuel Daigbe stars at wide receiver and linebacker for the Royals. He’s also a Class 4A state wrestling champion.

HEIDI SANDERS, Kent Reporter

Daigbe struggled to choose a favorite sport between wrestling and football.

“Wrestling makes me mentally tough and football is just about life,” he said.

He has his sights set on playing NCAA Division 1 college football next year.

His goal is to play for the University of Washington.

“If I go on a football scholarship and the coaches let me wrestle, I’ll wrestle,” he said. “If I can’t, then I’ll just stick to football.”

Daigbe was named the South Puget Sound League’s Northeast Division AllPurpose Player of the Year and first-team All-SPSL wide receiver last year, finishing the season with 40

catches for 716 yards and 10 touchdowns.

But Daigbe isn’t just concerned about his own success. He wants the Royals to win a state championship on the gridiron. Last year, Kent-Meridian finished with a 6-4 overall record.

The Royals kick off their season against Battle Ground in a nonleague game at 5 p.m. Saturday at French Field.

“We can go deep in the playoffs,” Daigbe said. “We just have to have that mindset to always finish games.

When we start playing we always come on top, but we don’t finish the game so we need to work on it.”

Coach Brent Allen characterized the 6-foot-1, 190-pound Daigbe as a “relentless beast” on the field.

“In everything he does, he is giving his best effort, no matter what the score is, no matter what the situation is,” Allen said. “He just stands out as a man amongst boys when he’s playing. It is almost like he is bullying other kids out here if you are watching him from a distance because he is just so relentless.”

Daigbe has stepped up as a leader, on and off the field.

“He’s been a leader more by example up until this summer,” Allen said. “He knows going into his senior year he is one of the better football players in our state. … He has understood that there’s a role he is forced to play because he is one of the better players, that people are going to follow him anyway. Before he just led by example. He didn’t say much. He just played hard and people respected him. He worked hard and people respected him. But now he’s taken that a step further and taken it upon himself to really lead, not just by example, but with his words.”

Allen said Daigbe has the team’s best interest at heart.

“He is organizing extra practices or coming to practice early and getting guys here to teach the younger kids to make sure that the whole team is good,” Allen said. “That’s important to him that the whole team is on the same page. He knows physically [ more DAIGBE page 15 ]

Kentlake grad eliminated from ‘American Ninja Warrior’ Kentlake graduate Justin Gielski’s run on “American Ninja Warrior” has come to an end. The 30-year-old Gielski, who is a member of the New Jersey National Guard, failed on the first stage of the national finals in Las Vegas, which aired Monday night on NBC. Gielski qualified for the national finals on an all-military episode of the show, which was filmed in San Pedro, Calif.

Gielski thanked his supporters on a post on his Facebook page on Monday night.

“Though it ended tonight, I accomplished my original goal of making it to Vegas my first season,” Gielski wrote.

Gielski failed to complete the coin flip obstacle, three large medallions suspended above the water, which competitors must run across.

The beginning of September is the time to evaluate your container gardens and bedding plants so you will know what to buy or order for next spring.

In my garden I found that the fast-spreading “wave” petunias with large flowers are great for planting in beds but not so nice in hanging baskets. They just keep growing and growing and become too rangy.

The more compact petunias such as the Proven Winners Supertunia and the SuperBells Calibrachoa – these look like mini petunias – did great in the summer heat and kept a more tidy and compact growth habit.

Million bells is another type of trailing mini petunia that thrived in the heat and stayed well behaved all summer.

More rock stars that performed despite the summer heat were: scavolea; sedums; yuccas; geraniums; a hanging plant with gray foliage called “Dichondra Silver Falls;” and the very adaptable dragon wing begonias such as the bright orange “Bonfire” Begonia.

The end of summer is a good time to rethink and replant your container gardens with the goal of year round color that will thrive for several years without replanting.

Instead of planting for just fall color or summer blooms, these planting

suggestions will look great year round with the option of adding seasonal color for pops of color.

Tip: Add some dwarf daffodil, crocus or snowdrop bulbs near the edge of the container when you are done planting the larger plants. In February you’ll be rewarded with fresh spring blooms.

All of these hardworking plants should be easy to find at local garden centers and nurseries now.

• Start with a large container with drainage holes. A pot that is at least 24 inches deep will hold enough soil to keep the biggest plant or the “thriller” happy for several years. You have the option of rotating the smaller plants into the landscape or leaving them in the pot until they outgrow the space.

• Use a quick-draining potting soil, not soil from your own garden.

It is fine to reuse your old potting soil from this past summer, but only if you remove the old roots add a few inches of fresh potting soil and stir it all up so that the old potting soil at the bottom of the pot is once again loose and free draining.

• During the winter months place your potted plants in a protected location near the house or under the protection of the roof eaves.

This will help the plants survive

a big freeze and keep them from drowning during our constant winter rains.

Tip: Poke a finger into the soil and water potted plants protected under the eaves when the top two inches are dry. They may need water every few weeks even in the winter.

Ingredients for the planting recipe: • One thriller: a big, bold plant for the middle or back of the display.

• Two or three fillers: Shorter plants to surround the thriller focal point.

• Two or three spillers: Smaller plants to cascade over the sides a bit, giving the pot a full and graceful design.

Thrillers that will last several years in the same pot: Tall and narrow evergreens such as Ilex “Sky Pencil;” yews for the shade; compact junipers for the sun; “Goldcrest” Monterey Cypress; Dwarf Alberta Spruce; or Barberry “Orange Rocket.” OK, the barberry is not really an evergreen, but it loses its leaves for such a short time, and the “Orange Rocket” has such a bright and beautiful color that I recommend it for year round color anyway.

For smaller containers, use the true dwarf evergreens that grow just a half-inch a year – the Hinoki False Cypress, a spiky evergreen grass such as carex or a compact hebe.

point plant: Use three in large pots, one or two if you find large plants or your container is small.

Heucheras: These low growing and compact foliage plants make fabulous fillers for year round color and adapt to either sun or shade.

They come in colors, ranging from deep red to bright yellow. Pick heucheras to contrast or blend with your focal plant, either all in the same color for a formal look or mix it up for a festive confetti collection of colors.

Herbs: The winter hardy herbs such lavender, sage and oreganos offer foliage color all winter, and the foliage can be harvested with a few snips of the scissors to keep them compact and tidy.

Euphorbias: In a smaller pot these colorful euphorbias can be used as the thriller or focal point plant. But once you meet the [ more BINETTI page 24 ]

this is a story you helped write, but haven’t yet read.

Olivia was a 4th grader. She loved to read, but didn’t have any books at home. So if she was given a book in class, she would read it cover to cover, again and again, until she had to give it back. One day Mrs. Kolish, her teacher, handed out brand-new copies of Charlotte’s Web. As usual, Olivia read it cover to cover, again and again. She reluctantly went to give it back, but this time was different. Mrs. Kolish wouldn’t accept the book because Charlotte’s Web was Olivia’s to keep. You see, Olivia didn’t know that every time you shopped at Target, you were giving to education. And each time you did, you helped raise one billion dollars for supplies and books for students like Olivia.

So when Olivia said thanks a billion to Mrs. Kolish for the first book she could call her own, she was saying thanks a billion to you, too.
