Debt seems to be one certainty about Kent’s ShoWare Center but now the City Council must determine whether part of that

debt should be considered a loan or a subsidy.

Council members debated for more than an hour at a Tuesday workshop the ramifi cations to call $18.5 million of city payments to the Public Facilities District

(PFD) debt service a loan or a subsidy. Th e city set up the PFD through the state to help build the $84.5 million city-owned arena.

“It’s a fairly complicated issue,” Council President Dana Ralph said. “Th e bookkeeping outcome

is if it’s a debt it needs to reported as such in our budget and if it’s money that will not be paid back to the city’s general fund then it needs to be reported as such.”

Th e council couldn’t agree on what to do so the discussion

will continue at the council’s Operations Committee meeting at 4 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall. Depending what that committee decides, the issue could go to the

City might partner with YMCA to build facility in KentBY STEVE HUNTER

[email protected]

A potential partnership between the YMCA of Greater Seattle and the city of Kent could lead to construction of a YMCA facil-ity in Kent.

City offi cials are considering a possible donation of park property on the East Hill to help speed up the process to get a new pool and recreational facility in town.

“Th e city has been in conversation with the YMCA for probably about four years now as we try to solve our future aquatic center needs,” City Parks Director Jeff Watling said at a City Council workshop last month. “Th ey are a nonprofi t agency that has an interest in serving the East Hill of Kent.”

Th e YMCA needs about 4 or 5 acres to build a facility, Watling said.

“A specifi c park site/location has not been fi nalized,” Watling said in an email. “We con-tinue to explore this option and possible

Winterfest brings the holidays to Kent

A holiday tradition, Kent celebrated its annual Winterfest gathering in the Town Square Plaza last Saturday.

After an arts and crafts session at Down Home Catering, the festivities moved to the library for Christmas story readings by the Kent Lions Club. The evening concluded with children and adults gathering in the plaza to watch the tree lighting.

In addition to the tree lighting, the night featured alpacas to pet, hot chocolate to drink and carolers to listen to.

The evening culminated with Santa Claus arriving on a pedicab sleigh pulled by City Council members dressed as reindeers with Mayor Suzette Cooke leading the way as Rudolph.

BIG SHOT

BY STEVE HUNTER

[email protected]

A proposal to start a city of Kent FM radio station drew nothing but static from the City Council.

Th e council decided against Mayor Suzette Cooke’s proposal to spend $50,000 on a consul-tant next year to help determine whether people would listen to

the station or if sponsors could be found to pay for the station.

“We put that conversation to rest,” Council President Dana Ralph said at a Dec. 2 budget workshop about the lack of coun-cil support for a radio station.

Council members couldn’t see the benefi ts outweighing the costs.

“So what are we going to get aft er the $50,000?” Councilman Jim Berrios asked at a budget

workshop last month. “We’re go-ing to get a report that says, ‘Yes this is feasible.’ Will that include being able to see the possibility of getting sponsorship? Th at’s critical because that tells me you’re need-ing the sponsorship meaning the budget is not enough. We don’t want to get in a position where it is becoming a fi nancial burden on our budget moving forward.”

Cooke initially proposed

starting up the station in 2015 at a cost of $209,000, including $115,000 for capital startup costs and $94,000 for a multimedia co-ordinator to run the station. She proposed the station be funded through sponsorship dollars. Th e $50,000 for the consultant fee would come out of the general fund next year while the other potential costs would be pushed to 2016.

“One of our greatest chal-lenges in Kent is educating this community about its own safety for individuals, families and neighborhoods and the lack of communication has been a frustration for all of us as we try to get information out to folks,” said Cooke, who added offi cials

Riverbend Golf Complex to get new HVAC systemBY STEVE HUNTER

[email protected]

Th e 18-hole clubhouse at the city-owned River-bend Golf Complex will get a new heating, ventila-tion and air conditioning (HVAC) system next year at a cost of $752,796.

Th e Kent City Council approved a contract on Tuesday with Seattle-based McKinstry to install the new system by next July.

“Th e nice thing about this Riverbend project is it’s 25-year-old equip-ment we will replace,” City Parks Director Jeff Watling said at a council Parks Committee meeting last month. “We will see operational effi ciencies and energy savings.”

Riverbend Golf Com-plex includes an 18-hole course, a par 3 course, driving range and mer-chandise shop.

City offi cials plan to try to sell the par 3 course next year to a residential and commercial develop-er to cover the Riverbend complex’s $2.6 million debt as well as nearly $6 million in capital improvements needed on the 18-hole course and an operating defi cit of about $300,000 per year. Th e debt is owed to an inter-fund loan, money that the

city borrowed from its water and fl eet funds to help pay off the bond for the golf complex.

Th e city will continue to operate the 18-hole course in eff orts to make it a reve-nue-producing complex or at least break even.

Th e costs for the new HVAC system will be cov-ered by the city’s facilities capital fund. Watling said all city facilities pay a fa-cility charge to the city to build up the capital fund. Riverbend has paid that fee for the last 20-some years, he said.

City staff in 2007 started a process to identify defi -ciencies in HVAC systems throughout its facilities.

“We put together a 10-year HVAC replacement plan and a lot of those facilities have been done,” Watling said. “Riverbend is next. It’s our oldest set of HVAC systems.”

With a new system, Riverbend will see im-proved energy effi ciency, reduced maintenance costs and an improved level of comfort for golf course patrons, according to city documents.

McKinstry replaced the HVAC system in the city’s Centennial Center in 2010 at a cost of $1.4 million. Th e city received a state Department of Energy grant for $845,000 to help cover the costs.

City offi cials have ap-plied for a $125,000 grant from the state Depart-ment of Commerce for the Riverbend HVAC replacement.

from the Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority and Kent Police had indicated an interest in radio programs to reach out to people.

Th e mayor said the station could be used for public safety programs such as what to do during a fi re, windstorm, fl ood or earthquake as well as emergency alerts. Other programs could be police amber alerts, sex off ender notifi cation information, street closures and traffi c reports.

But the council never really tuned in to the proposal.

“I only listen to NPR (National Public Radio) and my kids (in their 20s) don’t listen to the radio so the question is what is the au-dience?” Councilman Bill Boyce said at a workshop last month about the proposal. “It sounds like a might be a good thing but that is the concern I have.”

City staff last year applied for the FM radio frequency license from the Federal Communica-tions Commission (FCC) and received the license for a public information station for a fee of about $800. Th e station would reach about 156,000 people in the Kent area.

park locations with YMCA staff and with the Kent citizens group that the Y has formed.”

About 15 people from Kent are on a YMCA steering committee look-ing to bring a facility to Kent, said Nathan Phillips, YMCA regional director for South King County.

Th e YMCA formed the committee in 2013 that has met occasionally. Phillips said the committee expects to start meeting once a month be-ginning next year in an eff ort to fi nal-ize plans in Kent.

“In a few months we hope to have some great news,” Phillips said during a Monday phone interview. “We’re excited to see where the process takes us.”

Th e potential to use city property as a site could be a big boost to the process.

“Th e steering committee is very interested in that,” Phillips said. “It’s a very exciting possibility.”

Watling emphasized to the council that the project is YMCA driven.

“Th is is not a city-led en-deavor,” Watling said. “Th e YMCA is an independent body with an independent board making an indepen-dent decision. It is a Y-led project that the city is look-ing for ways to partner.

“Th e idea of city prop-erty is if we consider this partnership the city is not in a position of cash or

capital rich so do we con-sider providing property as part of this partnership and property that in a way takes community park space and now we have park space and a commu-nity recreational facility that creates much more community value.”

Th e city of Kent several years ago studied building a pool in the Valley but that project faded because of a lack of funds. Th e city

runs the Kent Me-ridian Pool next to Kent-Meridian High School.

“Th e YMCA building a facil-ity would be their decision, their dis-cretion and their funding to build

that building,” Watling said. “A YMCA typi-cally has an aquatic facility component but it’s not of a community size. So one of the concepts is how might the city, the community or grant funding take a typical YMCA and have it become a community sized aquatic facility has well.”

Watling said the part-nership could work to boost the city’s recreation-al opportunities.

“It is a way to add an additional recreational facility to this community to augment the services the city already does and at the same time get a com-munity aquatic center that would replace an aging and extremely tired K-M pool that the King County built over 40 years ago

and the city now owns,” he said.

Councilman Les Th omas pointed out that high school swim teams from Kent schools raised an issue in the past about whether the YMCA would build a large enough pool for competitions and give access to the teams.

Watling said that’s an issue the would need to be discussed if a proposal be-comes specifi c. Two high schools use the K-M pool.

State legislators from the 47th District have shown an interest in possibly getting state capital funds to help support a YMCA on the East Hill, said Doug Levy, state lobbyist for the city of Kent, in a report to the council. Th e funds could be used for pre-con-struction costs to help put the project in a ready-to-build condition.

“Th is is not ready in 2015 or 2016 but you get into a two-year capital budget window do you just wait and maybe forfeit the chance to do some seed funding that could take this further down the line?” Levy said.

Councilwoman Debo-rah Ranniger said she would help go aft er state funds for the project.

“I’m defi nitely in favor and I will do whatever I can even if that means going to Olympia and knocking on doors,” Ran-niger said.

Th e YMCA has 12 facilities in the Seattle area, including SeaTac and Auburn.

full council at its special meeting at 5 p.m. Tuesday when it also votes on the 2015-16 city budget.

A recent state Auditor’s Offi ce preliminary report about the PFD triggered the latest problem with the fi nancially struggling ShoWare Center that has lost more than $3 mil-lion since it opened in 2009.

“I look forward to the time when I show up and I say, ‘this is an easy problem and I’ve got seven perfect solutions for you,’” City Finance Director Aaron BeMiller said to the council as he introduced the subsidy vs. loan dispute. “Unfortunately, I don’t think this is one of those times.”

City offi cials created the PFD in 2007 and issued $63.3 million debt for construction of the arena. Th e city and PFD signed a loan agreement that stated any city monies contributed toward PFD debt service is a loan to be repaid with interest.

Based on a consultant’s study, city offi cials assumed the arena and PFD would make enough revenue to cover debt service. But the ShoWare Center lost $480,000 the fi rst year and continues to lose money each year. Th e district has paid just $4 million toward debt service from a sales tax refund it gets from the state.

“We received an audit

fi nding from the state Audi-tor’s Offi ce that said you are materially out of compli-ance and your fi nancial statements are misrepre-sented,” BeMiller said. “We have a loan payable on the PFD books now but still do not have a loan receivable

on our side. We imagine that this will need to change moving forward.

“We are request-ing the council to amend the loan agreement which formally changes the city contribu-tions both past

and future toward PFD debt service from a loan to a subsidy. We know the PFD can’t generate enough revenue to pay off the debt service let alone to pay us any of the $18.5 million we’ve contributed so far. …Loans made without a reasonable expectation of repayment should not be treated as loans but rather as a subsidy.”

BeMiller later expanded about how the city could get in trouble with the state Auditor’s Offi ce as well as credit rating agencies if no change is made.

“If we book a receiv-able for $18 million that we don’t believe that we are going to ever get we are not fairly representing the fi nances of the city and we could get in trouble for that,” he said. “Th is goes back a little bit to the Enron (an energy company that infl ated assets before its collapse in 2001) type. We can’t have contracts out

there that say you’re going to pay us $100 million and book that on our assets and say we are fl ush.”

Several council members still weren’t ready to jump ship about the arena’s ability to make money.

“We thought we would get money back and we’re not getting money back,” Ralph said about the initial projec-tions. “At the end of the day I do not feel that I can say to our residents that we’ve done everything we can and turned over every stone and had every conversation….Maybe there’s options we can do diff erent in the business model. We all have a vested interest in this and now might be the time to take a step back to look at what are our options.”

Councilman Jim Berrios agreed with Ralph that pos-sibly more can be done for the arena to make money.

“Th is is a very sensitive issue,” Berrios said. “I get the implications here with the auditor and cleaning up the books so to speak. Calling it what it is, is it a loan we can never pay back or maybe pay back some of it and create language to say that …. I feel we need more discussion but eventually we do need to clean up how we word this. I don’t see any signs of paying back the entire thing. But we should leave some hope to pay some of it back.”

Just last month the council agreed to use extra reserve monies in the city’s general fund budget to pay off the ShoWare Center’s operating debt of $2.7 million.

Kent Police arrested a man for investigation of fourth-degree assault after he al-legedly punched his former girlfriend and took off most of the clothes she wore during a dispute between the two.

Officers responded to a verbal dispute at about 12:19 p.m. on Nov. 29 at a barber shop in the 25600 block of 101st Avenue Southeast, according to the police report. Witnesses reported an argument be-

tween a man and a woman inside the shop.

The woman told police her ex-boyfriend became

upset because she had slept with three of his friends. She said he took off her pants, under-

wear and shoes and refused to return them.

He also reportedly punched her in her private parts.

The ex-boyfriend told police the woman had punched him in the face during the dispute. He didn’t answer an officer’s questions about why he took off the woman’s clothes and refused to give them

back. He said they had ar-gued about her infidelities.

Police determined the ex-boyfriend as the pri-mary aggressor because he punched the woman and took her clothes.

Malicious mischiefOfficers arrested a man

for investigation of third-degree malicious mischief after he reportedly punched and broke a vehicle’s rear window at about 12:12 a.m. on Nov. 29 at an apartment complex parking lot in the 11100 block of Southeast 208th Street.

A witness called 911 to report a man possibly hit-ting a woman in a vehicle at the Indigo Springs Apart-ments, according to the police report.

A man then exited the vehicle but returned later and started to punch the windows. He then turned his attention to another vehicle. He punched and broke the rear window of that car before leaving in another vehicle.

Police located the man in a unit at the apart-ment complex. He ini-tially refused to come out of the apartment before he voluntarily walked out and

officers handcuffed him. A witness described the man as the same man who broke the car window.

The man declined to talk to police about the incident.

AssaultPolice arrested a man for

investigation of fourth-degree assault after he alleg-edly punched his mother’s husband in the face during a dispute at about 10:34 p.m. on Nov. 29 at a home in the 20400 block of 120th Avenue Southeast.

The husband told officers he allowed his wife’s son to

stay at the house because otherwise he would be homeless, according to the police report. Officers noted the husband had cuts by his eye and was bleeding.

An argument broke out after the husband didn’t like how the man yelled at one of his kids who are also staying with the couple.

The son told officers he tried to isolate himself in a bedroom but the husband kicked and pushed his way past the door. The son denied he punched the man but said he did get out of control.

Detectives from numer-ous federal and local agen-cies served simultaneous search warrants on Dec. 4 at six businesses and four residences, including one in Kent, in connection with allegedly using massage parlors as fronts for prosti-tution.

The other locations were in unincorporated King County, Burien, Seattle and one property in Snohomish County, according to a King County Sheriff ’s Office

media release.The Kent home was in

the 22500 block of 135th Avenue Southeast, accord-ing to the Sheriff ’s Office.

Detectives arrested nine people. Three of those people were booked into jail for investigation of promoting prostitution. The investigation will continue over the coming weeks, with the possibility of more arrests. Charges of promoting prostitution are likely along with associated financial crimes.

Detectives started the

investigation three months ago after complaints from residents in the Burien area over activity at massage parlors in the city. Detec-tives were able to determine employees in these busi-nesses were engaging acts of prostitution.

Many of the workers at these businesses are exploited by the owners via excessive fees levied against them for rent and other charges. This results in the employees never being able to get out of debt to the owners, trapping them

in a never-ending cycle of victimization, according to the Sheriff ’s Office.

Burien Police Chief Scott Kimerer said his agency sees this operation as part of his departments “com-mitment to some of the most vulnerable people in our community that are repeatedly exploited by hu-man traffickers.”

Five of the businesses searched were in Burien, and each will have its license revoked by city of Burien code enforcement.

Kent Police and Valley SWAT arrested a 34-year-old man recently featured on Washington’s “Most Wanted” television show for dealing heroin in King County and failing to show up in court.

Gabriel Acena also is a convicted killer for a 2001 case near the Space Needle.

Kent Police, Valley SWAT and the Valley Narcotics Task Force arrested Acena at about 7:30 p.m. Dec. 3 in a parking lot in the 27300 block of Pacific Highway South.

“He was a passenger in a vehicle, which was stopped in a parking lot,” said Kent Police Cmdr. Eric Hem-men in an email. “He gave up once he saw the car was blocked in and all the police

officers were swarming around his vehicle.”

Police booked Acena into the King County jail at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. He was wanted on a warrant from the King County Sheriff ’s Office for heroin dealing after he failed to appear in court, Hemmen said.

The Q13 Fox show in October featured a profile of Acena, one of three men

who beat and shot to death Patrick Franz, 20, a Fort Lewis soldier, near the Space Needle on New Year’s Eve in 2001. Acena pleaded guilty to manslaughter and received a six-year prison sentence. He was released in 2006.

Acena, who has been in and out of jail because of drug arrests, was known to stay in the Kent and Renton area, often at motels, accord-ing to the Sheriff’s Office.

Th e votes are counted, but contributions continue fl owing to participants in this year’s election.

Tens of thousands of dollars in political dona-tions have been reported to the state Public Disclosure Commission ahead of this week’s deadline for candidates and

party committees to reveal their receipts for November.

Early fi lings show that victors are reaping some nice spoils, especially on the Republican side of the aisle.

State Sen. Pam Roach, R-Auburn, who won re-election by

defeating a Republican state repre-sentative, collected nearly $10,000 from a fundraiser in Olympia put on by a cadre of longtime lobbyists.

And Th e Leadership Council, a fund controlled by the Senate Republican Caucus, had hauled in $127,550 through Dec. 1. Th at will replenish a cache depleted by the spending of $3 million to

defend incumbents and add a 25th member to secure the majority in the Senate.

A similar scenario is unfolding in the House, where Minority Leader Dan Kristiansen, R-Snohomish, ran unopposed, yet fi ve donors delivered unsolicited checks adding up to $3,250.

And the Reagan Fund, which Kristiansen and his fellow cau-cus leaders control, has garnered $47,500 since the election, in which

Hope found today in most unlikely places

Th ere is hope for the modern world, dis-covered in the most unlikely of devices.

In the past, my cellphone has masqueraded as a demon device, suddenly calling strangers or refusing to ring when God is calling.

Despite what certain young women in the offi ce say (never believe them), I know how to work my phone; it is the cellphone that turned on me when I yelled clean obsceni-ties at it. Unless I used just the right tone and poked it in the proper place, it suddenly went

dark and refused to speak or turn on the light.

However, in my hour of need I discovered hope.

At about midnight a couple of months ago I was driving to Anacortes to catch a ferry to San Juan Island for work.

I got lost somewhere on the outskirts of Enumclaw. It was dark.

I decided I would try one of those things (I know – it’s a stupid app) that mysteriously show up for no reason when I am trying to answer the ringing that is not in my head.

Th e thing is called “Th ere” or “Go there” or “You’re lost forever” – something like that.

Anyway, I pulled over in the dark, began whacking my phone and suddenly a light asked me where I was going and where I came from, like some Philosophy 101 class I fl unked.

Miraculously, the magic light in my phone fi gured out where I was going, and a woman in white began talking to me.

I couldn’t believe it. I had found a girl-friend in my shirt pocket.

Once we got rolling, every time I was going a mile or two over the speed limit, my new girlfriend started yelling at me.

Aft er a couple of yellings, I started speed-ing just to hear her soothing critique, to see if she still liked me.

Th en I took a wrong turn. Th at was nearly nirvana.

“Recalculating because you are a dummy,” she yelled.

I loved it. I started taking wrong turns

No need to raise property taxes

I oppose the rise in property taxes proposed by the Kent City Council to balance the city’s budget for the following reasons:

• Th e council has already increased the garbage rates for customers in order to raise funds for repairing city streets.

• Th ere is $11.4 million of fi nancial reserves, according to city fi nance director Aaron BeMiller, of which $2.6 million can be used to pay off the debt of the ShoWare Center, leaving roughly a $9 million surplus.

• Th is surplus of roughly $9 million of fi nancial reserves should be returned to the taxpayers in the form of drasti-cally reduced property taxes or actual refund checks.

Other proposals to utilize assets of which the city owns already:

• Use the ShoWare Center as the new police headquarters.

• Fire the managing care-taker of the ShoWare since the

center will now be the new police headquarters.

• Fire the city fi nance director and the chief admin-istrative offi cer, which would save the city approximately $300,000 annually.

• Leave B&O tax rates where they are so as to further en-courage businesses to relocate to Kent, instead of driving businesses away by raising the B&O taxes.

Once we reduce the city’s cost structure in these ways, the council will discover there is no need for higher taxes.– Mark H. Ekern

Who do our representatives serve?

In a city that houses the fourth largest manufactur-ing complex in the United States, our Kent City Council would have us all believe that it’s the garbage trucks that are ravaging our roads – and not the overwhelming number of huge, lumbering 16- and 18-wheelers used by the Val-ley’s businesses.

So, the council wrangled a tax on our garbage bill with the excuse that the garbage trucks are to blame for the sorry con-dition of our streets and roads.

Th e council will do anything to avoid 1, chasing down the businesses that aren’t paying

Republicans gained four seats in the House.

One reason some lawmak-ers – not all – are out asking for money is that the rising cost of campaigns creates an insatiable need for it.

Also, state law bans lawmakers and statewide offi cials like the governor from political fund-raising within 30 days of a legisla-tive session. Th at’s inspired many to get what they can through solicitation letters and fundraisers before the freeze sets in Friday.

Why individuals and interest groups respond with post-election contri-butions is the other side of the equation.

Sometimes it’s as simple

as a longtime supporter wanting to donate one more time, like a congratulatory pat on the back.

More oft en, if the donor is an active participant in poli-tics and intends to walk the hallways of the Capitol dur-ing the upcoming session, it is prudent to acknowledge a lawmaker’s electoral success with a contribution.

Consider the action of Stand for Children in Washington, an infl uential voice in the state’s educa-tion reform movement.

Th e group gave $950 to Roach on Nov. 21, even though it endorsed her opponent in the election. If the group did not want to see her win this time, why would it provide funds it knows will go to help jump-

start her next campaign?“Sen. Roach invited us to

a post-election fundraiser, and we participated since she has been aligned with us most of the time over the years,” policy director Dave Powell wrote in an email.

And there’s SEIU Health-care 775NW, the statewide union for thousands of long-term care workers in Washington. It spent nearly $450,000 in this election – most of it trying to elect Democrats.

Th e organization gave $20,000 to the Leadership Council in mid-October and $10,000 to the Reagan Fund on Nov. 21, its only contributions to the GOP committees this cycle. By comparison, it gave $162,500 to Democratic

counterparts in the House and Senate.

“We have over the years given fi nancial support to all four caucuses as part of our ongoing eff orts to build relationships with legisla-tors of both parties and to advocate for quality supports and services for older adults and people with disabilities,” spokesman Jackson Holtz explained in an email.

Corporations and busi-ness associations are doing it, too. Alaska Airlines, for example, wrote its fi rst check to the Reagan Fund aft er the election, and it was for $10,000. Farmers Insur-ance Group has written two checks, totaling $80,000, to the Leadership Council.

So while the season of giving to politicians might

be drawing to an end, there seem to be plenty of people, and companies, hoping to receive something in return soon.

their business and occupation (B&O) taxes; 2, eliminating some of the loopholes and exemptions to the tax; and 3, expanding the tax to ensure that these businesses pay to repair the damage they are directly responsible for causing.

Now the council wants to assess property owners an additional 5 percent tax (while they continue to subsidize the monstrous money-loser that is the ShoWare Center). Th e council has taken pandering to the Chamber of Commerce to a new, all-time high. (Council Presi-

dent) Dana Ralph is the cheerleader and mother bear protecting Kent businesses from anything that even slightly resembles a tax that rightfully places the responsibility for road repair at the feet of those responsible.

So – where are the outraged citizenry who are sick of having their homes used as an ATM by a small group of people who are championing their own special interests and those of the local Chamber of Commerce? Is it only business owners who deserve fair treatment and representation? Have the council members such disdain

for Kent homeowners that they feel no compunction about continuing to fi nance road and street repair off the backs of the middle class?

It’s so patently clear that the heavy commercial trucks have always been the cause of expensive road repair in the Valley.

So, why aren’t the citizens of Kent pushing back against the special interests that exploit us? If apathy is the cause for silence, then the citizenry deserves the kind of lousy government they get. Citizens have the real power, but it they choose not to use it, then the money, power, and infl uence of corpora-

tions rule. Don’t be intimidated. You are only powerless if you let yourself be.

You have a voice. Tell the council that they cannot work around our vote and just impose taxes on us willy nilly. Th ey must fi gure that if we won’t give them permission by our vote, then they will just take our money any way they can. Council members can be voted out if they don’t represent our interests. And clearly, this council does not. You decide. Speak out.– Sandra Gill

Kent-area fast-food workers join fi ght for higher wagesBY MARK KLAAS

[email protected]

Hundreds of sign-carrying protestors took to Kent streets on Dec. 4, chanting for economic change and urging state leaders to raise the minimum hourly wage to $15.

Fast-food and other low-wage workers from the Kent area joined hundreds of other strikers in Bellevue, Aberdeen and Olympia – and thousands of others in more than 150 cities throughout the country – in the one-day rally, a show of solidarity for the cause of more livable wages.

Th e day of demonstrations cul-minated in a strike-support rally at the State Capitol, just as members of the State House participated in

a hearing on the minimum wage before the Labor & Workforce Development Committee.

Although home-care workers, airport service workers and service employees who work at federally-contracted businesses – all of

whom are engaged in their own labor campaigns for higher wages and union representa-tion – are rally-ing in support of fast-food workers in some cities, none are expected to walk off the job themselves.

In Kent, protes-tors began their rally in front of a McDonald’s on East Hill then marched along Southeast 240th Street. Stop-

ping briefl y at Popeyes Louisiana Chicken, much to management’s dismay, they circled the restaurant and left the parking lot.

Th e demonstration was peaceful but bold. Fast-food workers claim

the state’s minimum wage of $9.32 is poverty pay.

“We would love to see wages rise up across the state,” said Sage Wilson, a spokesperson for Working Wash-ington, which organized the rally. “One thing that we know is these (fast-food) companies can aff ord to pay more money. … Th ese businesses are doing well. Th ey’re profi ting, they’re thriving in our communi-ties, but the people who work there and the communities where they are operating don’t share in that wealth.”

Wilson said the fi ght for $15 is building momentum. Th e cities of Seattle and SeaTac have already agreed to raise the minimum hourly wage to $15. Other cities, he says, are calling for higher wages.

“What we learned in SeaTac and Seattle is when workers and support-ers are out here telling the truth of what it’s really like to work at these places and earning poverty wages, it changes the conversation,” he said.

Cary Davis, with Working Washington, leads a rally on Dec. 4 in front of the Southeast 240th Street McDonald’s on East Hill. Demonstrators are calling for state leaders to boost the minimum hourly wage to $15. MARK KLAAS, Kent Reporter

WINDERMERE REAL ESTATE PSK, INC. – in conjunction with the Windermere Foundation – is working with the Kent Fred Meyer to provide help in a children’s gift-giving pro-gram during the holiday season.

For the past 25 years, the Winder-mere Foundation has donated a por-tion of the proceeds from every home purchased or sold toward supporting low-income and homeless families in the community.

What started as a grassroots foundation serving families in need throughout the state, has grown to encompass 10 states and has raised more than $26 million for programs and organizations that help those in need.

Here’s how the program works:

Available funds are tallied based on the previous year’s contributions. This year, Windermere has $4,000 to be split between two Kent schools.

Kent teachers, counselors and school staff identify the most needy students. Fred Meyer agrees to open a little early for the teachers to shop for their students.

The day they shop is in line with the best day for sales. It can be cloth-ing, toys, or special need items. The teachers go back to the schools and wrap the gifts. The parents are con-tacted and take the gifts, which are given to the kids by their parents.

Mill Creek Middle School.Vargas stepped down in

October to accept a job as executive vice president of AVID, a national nonprofi t college readiness program. He soon will begin working full time in California.

Tony Apostle, retired Puyallup School District su-perintendent, is serving as Kent’s interim superinten-dent until Vargas’ successor can be found.

Vargas’ colleagues on the school board support him and wish him well, noting that his presence and understanding of larger themes in the district were instrumental in focusing the district’s priorities. While Vargas declined an interview with the Kent Reporter, some of his col-leagues at the school board spoke about his achieve-ments.

Board member Agda Burchard said that Vargas’ leadership helped focus on programs needed to cut the dropout and crime rates on campuses. While he may not have started the

programs himself, she said, “(Vargas) provided the en-ergy to start and got other people excited through his leadership.”

Also instrumental was Vargas’ tailoring of the districts internal programs such as public relations and budgeting.

“He really did implement a number of systems and processes – not to sound too vague or too global – but there were a lot of things that needed to be set in motion with budget, human resources and com-munity engagement,” said board member Russ Hans-com. “He brought some huge talent with him.”

Hanscom said the district has become far more trans-parent under Vargas’ lead-ership, winning recognition on the state level for its open reporting of funding.

“I think we’re very transparent, personally,” Hanscom said. “He was never one to brush things under the carpet.”

While citizens have looked at Vargas’ position and large compensation package with skepticism,

Hanscom defended his role as a keystone in the district.

“(Th e school district) is a business, and every business, in my opinion, needs a really strong CEO,” Hanscom said.

Board president Debbie Strauss also stressed Vargas’ accomplishments in creat-ing a system of executives and school improvement offi cers that could run inde-pendently of his input.

“It’s allowed him to help build some of those other partnerships with business and community leaders,” Strauss emphasized.

As the board looks for a new superintendent, Strauss, Burchard and Hanscom emphasized the importance of the new superintendent to be in close communication with the school board and also be aware and proactive in correcting problems in the district.

“One of the things I’ve learned from observing the board and Dr. Vargas,” said Burchard, “is the impor-tance of communication – two directional commu-nication. It’s really critical for the board to have good communication with the superintendent and the superintendent to have that with the board.”

“A lot of it is relation-ships,” Strauss said. “You’ve gotta build relationships.”

Kent-Meridian coach Brian Lockhart expects as many as 10 players to contribute this season for the Royals boys basketball team in the South Puget Sound League. ROSS COYLE, Kent Reporter

BY ROSS COYLE

[email protected]

Coach Brian Lockhart is optimis-tic about the Kent-Meridian High boys basketball team’s chances, but tempers it with the knowledge that the greatest challenge to his players will be remaining academically eligible to play.

“Th is is the fi rst season opener I’ve won since I’ve been here,” says Lockhart, in his seventh year. “Th ey have the makeup, and with a couple of additions we’ll be very deep.”

His key players this year include Romane Jackson, who has led the Royals in scoring with 23, 24 and 14 points in the fi rst three games; Aarmani Reece, a transfer from Chicago; and Angel Chima, who will help round out the starting lineup as “the most cerebral player,” says Lockhart.

“I’m able to play 10 guys and not really miss anything. And with the way we play — which is in your face, pressure, pressure, pressure, try to wear you down in the fourth quarter — that fi ts right where we’re at.”

Early pressure will be a key trait for Lockhart and the Royals. He remembers that it worked espe-cially well in his fourth year when Kent-Meridian carried a 12-4 South Puget Sound League record and fi nished second in league playoff s.

Kent-Meridian opened this season strong with victories over Renton, Auburn and Tahoma and a loss to South Kitsap. Despite being down to fi ve varsity players in their

fi rst game, the Royals persevered and came out on top. Balancing the team’s bravado — which is healthy but dangerous — and tempering their expectations to sustain morale has been a challenge for Lockhart, especially aft er two diffi cult prior seasons.

Th e team returns to the league

aft er several seasons of being clipped by small technicalities, says Lockhart. In 2013 the team had a stellar year of victories but was cut from playoff s due to an oversight on one of their players who was ruled ineligible by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Associa-tion (WIAA) as a fi ft h-year senior.

“It was tough to rebound from,” says Lockhart.

Last year the team faced a rough season of 6-14 that left them de-moralized, and Lockhart has made it a point to build morale and play-ers belief in themselves while still

Kent-Meridian senior Bria Reed scrambles for the ball against Hazen. ROSS COYLE, Kent Reporter

BY ROSS COYLE

[email protected]

New Kent-Meridian High girls basketball coach Amanda Phelps takes a more conservative ap-proach than the aggressive style of Royals boys coach Brian Lockhart as she hopes to wear her competition down with solid defense.

Phelps has moved up the ranks in the Royals coach-ing staff , taking over the top spot from her husband, DeForrest. Before becom-ing head coach she was an assistant coach for several years at Kent-Meridian and Juanita High School in Kirkland.

“It’s been a really smooth transition, a lot of them knew what style basketball I play,” Phelps says.

So far this season, the Royals beat Mountain View, of Vancouver, and lost to Hazen and Tahoma.

K-M comes off a diffi cult prior season, with a 1-13 record in the South Puget Sound League and a 2-16 record overall. Phelps hopes

that a defensive play style and new talent will change that streak.

She sees sophomore center Savannah Lackey and junior guard Shanaya Baladad as good front-run-ning players on the team this year.

“She’s (Baladad) that girl that will create plays, she’ll drive through the hole and create a shot,” Phelps says.

One of the key aspects that Phelps expects to work on will be the team’s endur-ance.

“Th ey’ll play really great in spurts, half a quarter here or a full quarter. Th ey just don’t play that well con-

sistently,” Phelps says. “It’s an issue of both physical and mental endurance.

She’s trying to encourage the girls to focus more on the game than the scoreboard.

“Have a 0-0 mental-ity,” she says. “You’re not behind, you’re not ahead, you’re just playing a game of basketball.”

making sure they’re resil-ient to adversity.

“Th at’s what I gotta fi ght with,” he says, “they punish themselves.”

Another major factor in maintaining the team will be sustaining academic achievement and program eligibility, which has con-sistently hampered them over the years. Even now academic ineligibility is keeping him from pulling a full team.

“We’ve been snake-bitten every year where there’s a kid, come playoff time, doesn’t take care of his stuff in the classroom and becomes ineligible,” he says. “My best shooter I’ve ever had in the program, that happened to him.”

Lockhart hopes to com-pete for a league title this season, and has faith that his full team will be able to deliver.

“With my full team go-ing at it, I think we have a chance,” he says. “We had a 22-8 summer, were in a few championship games in our tournaments. We didn’t win any of them, but they were there.”

For now, Lockhart will have to compete with keep-ing his top players eligible and making sure they don’t over or undervalue themselves to keep his team performing at its peak.

WHEREin Kent isCoolBird

Th e beginning of Decem-ber is the perfect time to grow your indoor garden.

Winter blooms are as close as the houseplant sec-tion of the nursery or home center. Giving a blooming plant as a gift has three advantages:

• When you give a plant you don’t have to worry about the correct size.

• A plant can be given and enjoyed early – no last-minute rush.

• No need for gift wrap.

Indoor plants improve air quality and mental health.

Some plants like hel-lebores can be planted out into the garden or bulbs like amaryllis can be regrown for years of blooms.

If you chose a traditional poinsettia …

Th e good news about the traditional poinsettia is that new varieties are easier to grow and maintain. Th e new poinsettias can add in-door color for nine months or more – if you like having a poinsettia in bloom for spring.

Colors are now available in soft pinks, whites, golds and even pastel blends besides the traditional Christmas red.

You can also fi nd tiny desk top poinsettias or hanging baskets of poinset-tia that save on space.

Just remember to protect your potted poinsettia from the cold – this means do not let poinsettias sit in an unheated car while you do errands. Keep a paper sleeve around the plant while traveling to protect it from frosty draft s. Do not

overwater. Yellowing lower leaves are oft en a sign of too much water so make sure there is a drainage hole in the foil and plastic wrap-ping.

Help yourself to a hellebore …

Th e holiday gift plant with the fastest growth in

sales is the winter-bloom-ing hellebore. Th is perennial has evergreen foliage, long lasting white or pastel blooms and is winter

hardy and long lived in the landscape.

Hellebores have been more popular than poinset-tias in Europe for a decade but are now making their budding appearance in American home stores, grocery stores and nurser-ies, all wrapped up in red foil paper and ready to give as an indoor gift plant.

But wait, there’s more.Unlike a traditional poin-

settia, a winter-blooming hellebore can be planted di-rectly into the garden once the holiday season is past. Th is makes it a popular plant to give to an offi ce or apartment dweller as there will be no need feel guilty about disposing of the plant, pot and soil once the holiday is over. Hand off the hellebore to any delighted gardener who will enjoy this shade loving perennial for years to come.

Amaryllis is the drama mama …

Give an already budded amaryllis bulb or for a more dramatic performance give a planted amaryllis just starting to show green

leaves. Th e thick stem will emerge bearing huge buds that open up to bright red, pink or white blooms.

Th e huge butterfl y-shaped fl owers never fail to impress and will last for weeks. Set a pair of amaryl-lis on a mantel or place a single potted bulb in a serving bowl surrounded by sparkling ornaments. Your holiday decorating just went from dull to dramatic.

Dwarf evergreens, big impact

Dwarf Alberta Spruce can be found at nurseries now oft en decorated like mini Christmas trees. Th ese will thrive indoors for just a week or so before starting to suff er from the warm in-door temperatures and dry air. Use these evergreens outdoors as porch decora-tions and then add them to the landscape when the ground is not frozen.
