Allen to challenge Thomas for council seatBY STEVE HUNTER

[email protected]

Les Th omas no longer is run-ning unopposed for a fourth term on the Kent City Council.

Gwen Allen, executive direc-tor of the Kent Black Action Commission (KBAC) and owner of C&G Hair and Beauty Supply on the East Hill, will challenge Th omas as a write-in can-didate on the Nov. 3 general election ballot.

“I decided to run to give the voters options in this next part of the democratic pro-cess for the general election,” Allen said in an email. “In my opinion, there should never be elections with unopposed candidates. In my opinion, we need term limits for our mayor and our council members.”

If Th omas wins, it will give him a fourth, four-year term.

Allen offi cially fi led as a write-in candidate with King County Elections on July 17. She also fi led with the state Public Disclo-sure Commission (PDC), which oversees campaign contributions and expenditures. As of Tuesday, neither Allen nor Th omas had reported any contributions or expenses.

It’s “mixed results” so far as to whether or not school zone traffi c cameras in Kent are causing driv-ers to slow down.

Th e statistics show that in the months of January and February

of this year fewer tickets were is-sued than the same two months in 2014. But from March to June the numbers this year were similar to the same months last year (see related chart, page 4).

“I think it’s a big program and it takes time,” Kent Police Chief Ken Th omas said about the trends.

“One comparison is not enough to make decisions. But it’s mixed results. It was down signifi cantly and then not so much.”

A total of 12,578 tickets were fi led with Kent Municipal Court during the fi rst 19 months of the program from January 2014 through July 2015, according to

court statistics.City offi cials set up traffi c cam-

eras to catch speeders at Neely-O’Brien Elementary, 6300 S. 236th St., and Sunrise Elementary, 22300 132nd Ave. S.E. Police issue a $124 fi ne for a vehicle exceeding the 20 mph school speed limit by 1 to 9 mph and issue a $248 fi ne

for speeds of 10 mph or faster above the speed limit.

Th e program has brought in more than $1 million to the city. Th e city will add cameras this fall at Meridian Elementary, 25621 140th Ave. S.E. (on SE 256th St.)

An 18-year-old man faces a charge of reckless driving in connection with the March 31 “car-surfi ng” accident at the Kent-Meridian High School parking lot that resulted in the death of fellow student Lupo Benson, 18.

King County prosecutors on Aug. 7 charged Tyler T. Reber, of Black Diamond, a 2105 Kent-Meridian graduate, with reck-less driving, a gross misdemeanor.

Gurcharan Dhillon wants children to be more active in the summer and learn more about their culture.

Exercise, fun and games are ways to do just that.

Th e Auburn man and substitute teacher decided to start the Seattle Sports Camp.

Now in its sixth year, the free camp has become a gathering place for about 200 Punjabi men, women and children from around the area. Th is year the camp unfolds every Saturday and Sunday evenings in Kent at Wilson Playfi elds, 13028 SE 251st Place, and Meridian Middle School, 23400 120th Ave. SE.

“Diff erent families get to-gether,” Dhillon said. “Th eir small children become friends.”

Dhillon, 64, spent more than 20 years as a wrestling coach and understands the importance of promoting an active lifestyle for children.

“Most of the students stay in their home, mostly in front of the TV,” he said.

Dhillon said many families would like to send their chil-dren to India to get to know more about their culture, but the expense can be a barrier. Th e camp gives them the chance to connect with the

local Punjabi community. “We encourage the

students to be Punjabi,” Dhillon said.

Most of the instruc-tion during the camp is in Punjabi, giving the children the chance to practice the language.

“Th ey don’t have time to learn our language,” he said.

While the camp is geared toward the Punjabi com-munity, Dhillon said any-one interested in the culture can attend.

Navroop Singh, 11, a sixth-grader-to-be at Emerald Park Elementary, attended the camp this summer aft er he was invited by his father’s friend’s children.

“I like exercising and running,” Singh said.

Singh has made a lot friends through the camp

“We talk and play and try to know each other,” he said.

He also has enjoyed learning more about the Punjabi culture.

“I’ve learned mostly people in India do diff erent stuff than here,” he said.

Th e activities for the children vary each week, and range from soccer to running.

But children aren’t the only ones partaking in the fun. Th e men play vol-leyball or soccer. Even the women have recently taken up soccer.

“We never played before, said Gurdeep Jahlli, of Kent, who attended the camp with family. “We watched our kids.”

Jahlli said in her culture it isn’t common for women to take part in sports.

“Usually in our com-munity we don’t come out much,” she said.

Many of the women started coming to the camp with their families and would watch their children or hus-bands participate, Jahlli said. Th is year the women decided to give soccer a try.

It is a good way to stay active, Jahlli said, adding, “We don’t have time to go to the gym.”

Th e sports camp is a fun activity for families to do together, Jahlli said.

“Th e kids are so excited and look forward to it,” she said. “Th e whole family can come outside together.”

Th e camp wraps up for the year on Aug. 30. A ban-quet – with awards, food, singing and dancing – will celebrate the end of a suc-cessful sports camp season.

Dhillon, who works in the Kent and Auburn school districts, enjoys be-ing able to give back to his community.

“I like to work for my community,” he said. “Th is is my hobby. Th is is my interest.”

Residents of Kent’s Mill Creek neighborhood celebrate as Mayor Suzette Cooke cuts a ribbon to mark the designation of the historic neighborhood as a landmark district last Saturday. The King County Landmarks Commission approved the Mill Creek Neighborhood Association’s nomination for the designation in November. County and city offi cials were on hand

for the celebration. The district is a well-preserved concentration of houses that refl ect the development of Kent during the fi rst half of the 20th century. The district’s general boundaries are Clark Avenue North to the west, Hazel Avenue North to the east, Smith Street to the south, and a portion of Cedar Street to the north.

HISTORIC MOMENT

Drug bust includes seven Kent residentsFOR THE REPORTER

A lengthy drug traffi cking investigation of a criminal group with ties to California and Mexico has resulted in 17 arrests – seven of whom are from Kent – and the seizure of pound quantities of methamphetamine and heroin.

Over a 36-hour period last week, teams of local, state and federal law enforcement agents searched 20 locations throughout the Puget Sound region in the culmination of

an 18-month investigation involv-ing court authorized wire-taps and extensive surveillance of members of the criminal group, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Offi ce.

Some of those arrested made their initial appearances on the in-dictments last week in U.S. District Court in Seattle.

“Heroin, and methamphetamine continue to wreak havoc in our communities,” U.S. Attorney An-nette L. Hayes said. “I commend the law enforcement professionals who investigated this drug traffi ck-ing organization, taking large loads of drugs off the street, while also gathering key evidence to make

these arrests and prosecutions pos-sible.”

Beginning early Wednesday morning last week, federal state and local law enforcement offi cers served search warrants on 17 resi-dences, three storage facilities and more than a dozen vehicles tied to the criminal group.

Search warrants were executed in Auburn, Bellevue, SeaTac, Seattle, Tukwila, Renton, Kent, Port Or-chard and Everett. An indictment and criminal complaints have been fi led charging 22 defendants with conspiracy to distribute controlled substances including methamphet-amine and heroin.

Some of the defendants are charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering.

During the course of the investi-gation law enforcement seized more than 29 pounds of meth, more than 18 pounds of heroin, 6 pounds of cocaine, approximately $178,000 in cash and sixteen fi rearms, including fi ve assault rifl es.

Th ose arrested include seven from Kent: Will Edward Brambila, 26; Francisco Flores Penuelas, 43; Eduardo Guzman Valenzuela, 23; Heriberto Pacheco Juarez, 22; Ramon Zavala Zazueta, 44; Jesus Gastelum-Payan, 20; and Alfonso Leos Villasenor, 20.

Haz mat team handles chemical spill at shipping facilityREPORTER STAFF

Hazardous material teams from Kent and three other fi re departments responded to a chemical leak at a shipping/receiving facility in the 6200 block of South 228th Street.

A driver of a forklift hit and punctured a 55-gallon drum during the 11:39 p.m. Aug. 5 incident, according to a Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority media release. Paramedics evaluated and released the driver at the scene.

Th irty employees evacu-ated the building and were in the parking lot when fi re crews arrived. Th e forklift driver was the only person exposed to the chemicals.

Once the specialized team of haz mat responders entered the building, they were able to fi nd the leak and determine that there was no eminent danger as well as confi rm that the punctured drum contained organic peroxide.

Th e majority of the chemical was confi ned to the trailer it was in.

Crews reported that there was only a small amount that had leaked out of the trailer on to the asphalt and nothing made its way into the building itself. Employ-ees were able to return to work aft er the cleanup.

and Millennium Elemen-tary, 11919 S.E. 270th St. (on 124th Ave. S.E.).

“When it fi rst kicked in January 2014 we had 649 tickets versus 423 in January this year so I think it’s making a signifi cant dif-ference,” Th omas said about the early results. “But in April we were close to the same numbers, May was close and June is higher in 2015 than 2014.”

Police started the pro-gram at the request of Kent School District offi cials in an eff ort to get drivers to obey the 20 mph speed limit at two schools where traffi c studies showed the most speed violations even before cameras went up.

“I would’ve expected the trend to go down more,” Th omas said.

School District offi cials certainly appreciate the cameras, which were ap-proved by the City Council.

“Neely-O’Brien reports that the cameras have had a signifi cant impact,” said Chris Loft is, school district

spokesman. “Traffi c is more consistently going the speed limit during arrival and dismissal times and anecdotally they’ve seen a signifi cant reduction in reports of ‘near-miss’ ac-cidents involving students, family members and pass-ing traffi c.”

It’s been a similar impact at Sunrise Elementary.

“Sunrise reports that they have noticed a positive change overall,” Loft is said. “However, they oft en see people slow down close to the camera, but evidently once some drivers feel it’s out of range, speed back up, oft en right at the crosswalk. Th is is obviously danger-ous.”

Th omas said it’s diffi cult to know how many drivers are repeat off enders or to get any numbers on drivers who comply with the speed limit. Th e traffi c volume around the schools could change as well.

“Th e whole goal is to keep the kids safe and I hope that’s taken place,” Th omas said. “We based it on need so we targeted

schools at the highest risk for kids.”

Loft is said the two schools get dozens of calls

each year from angry motorists regarding the cameras and their tickets.

“One thing that is impor-tant for the public to know is that our schools are not involved in any way in the management of the camer-as,” Loft is said. “While we appreciate safer streets and recognize that means traffi c regulation and enforcement on our students’ behalf, we do not handle any ticket-ing problems or questions the community might have about the processes associ-ated with the cameras and traffi c enforcement.”

Th omas said he’s inter-ested to see the numbers this fall at Neely-O’Brien and Sunset compared to last year. He said cameras at one of the schools didn’t work for about a week last September, so the numbers could be higher in 2015.

Th omas emphasized it’s still too early to tell exactly what impact the cameras are having on drivers.

“I don’t think we have enough data to draw con-clusions yet,” he said.

Recently, activists paddled a fl otilla of kayaks – made from petroleum products – into the Seattle harbor in an attempt to blockade a Shell Oil off shore drilling platform destined for the Arctic.

Th en activists in Port-land suspended themselves from the St. Johns Bridge – using all sorts of equipment and supplies made from

petroleum products – in an eff ort to stop Shell’s ice breaker from leaving a lo-cal shipyard.

Th eir goal was to stop Arctic oil exploration. But oil and gas exploration in the Arctic has been hap-pening for nearly 50 years.

It is not new, it is just diff erent – and safer.

Substantial oil deposits above the

Arctic Circle were discovered nearly a century ago. In 1923, President Warren G. Harding created Naval Petroleum Reserve Number 4 on Alaska’s North Slope to ensure our Navy had an adequate oil supply as it converted from coal-fi red boilers on ships.

When the Trans Alaska pipeline was proposed, environmental activ-ists predicted unimaginable devasta-tion. Th at didn’t happen. Since 1977,

nearly 17 billion barrels of oil have fl owed through the 800-mile pipe-line from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez, where it is shipped to Washington State oil refi neries. Th e fl ow was interrupted only once, in 2001, when a drunk with a hunting rifl e put a bullet in pipeline.

As the Prudhoe Bay fi elds devel-oped, wells were safely drilled in the Arctic Ocean. Endicott Island, a 45-acre artifi cial island in Beaufort Sea, started producing oil in 1987. Today, there are oil platforms in Cook Inlet just south of Anchorage and in the

Teachers deserve better pay

Regarding: Liv Finne’s guest commentary (“More spending in schools doesn’t necessarily improve learning”, Reporter, July 31):

Teachers have not received a pay raise for fi ve years. Th e cost of living has increased 10 percent in fi ve years. Teachers are getting a 1½ percent raise this year. Th us teachers have received an 8 percent pay cut in the past fi ve years.

Research has clearly shown that small class size improves learning for students.

Forty-fi ve percent of new teachers leave the profession aft er two years. Th e job is too hard, and the pay is too little.

Teachers are required to pay for the expenses of the union negotiating team only.

If you want to improve teacher quality, do what you

would do in your business: in-crease the pay of your workers to attract more able workers.

Th e providing of funds for supplies means that teachers do not have to use their own funds to provide supplies for your students.

I believe the legislators got a

12 percent raise this year.– Harold B. Valentin, retired teacher

Politics, spending part of education

Wanda Granquist said: “Let us keep the politics out of edu-cation” in her letter to the edi-tor (“More spending enhances education”, Reporter, Aug. 7). Public education is 100 percent political. Th e only way to take politics out is to end public education.

Even if all education were private, there is oft en politi-cal maneuvering within the private school administration. I guess the only avenue left is home schooling, which is not practical for all families.

Ms. Granquist castigates Ms. Finne but off ers no evidence that Ms. Finne is wrong.

Marriage, belief and change

I consider myself extremely lucky to have spent most of my childhood in an amazingly accepting and loving church environment.

Even so, many months and countless hours were spent in committee meetings and bending over the church charter, which expressly denied performing same-sex mar-riages. Eventually, the congregation decided the charter did not accurately refl ect God’s

love, and my community joined the ever-increasing number of churches that believe the idea of mar-riage in the church is not as limited as we used to think.

Marriage is a concept that has followed count-less civilizations and cul-

tures throughout time and is one of the few that will continue to go hand-in-hand with homo sapien culture as we expand on earth and into the heavens.

Th ere are few things more beautiful than joining two individuals as one, to bring them together in union in love and before their god(s).

But for hundreds of years (some histori-ans say around 800 in Caucasian Christian culture) we’ve repeatedly denied, legally and religiously, the holy matrimony of countless same-sex couples who express the same love for their other halves as diff erent-sex couples.

So like my ancestors of old, I look around and ask, “Why?” Because there must be a reason why we’ve persecuted countless souls who only want to spend their lives with whomever they love.

I’ve yet to fi nd an answer that satisfi es me.One I hear the most is, “it is against God’s

word/law/will,” for these people to be to-gether in any fashion.

But I was taught God created us in his im-age, all of our perfections and all of our fl aws.

I was taught of a Son who said the greatest commandments were to love our Lord and to love each other, and how we can’t love God if

Corey Ray Smith Corey Ray Smith, 55, beloved father, brother and friend, died Tuesday, July 21, after a long illness. He was surrounded by his children and loved ones at St. Francis Hospital in Federal Way at the time of his passing.Corey was a sensitive and caring soul, exemplary big brother, and loving father. He was committed from a young age to protecting and helping support his siblings, his mother, and later his own children and grandchildren. He was generous and compassionate beyond all

expectations, and never hesitated to sacrifice his own comfort to ensure his children and others he loved had what they needed. He loved music, spending time with friends and family, and the occasional beer or shot of tequila, and is best remembered by those who knew him for his easy, distinct and infectious laugh. Even through life's hardest trials, he maintained a positive attitude and sense of humor that brought joy to everyone around him.Corey was born in Fullerton, Calif., on June 21, 1960, and was the eldest of five children born to Don Smith and Jean Elizabeth Hart. His formative years were spent in Yorba Linda, Calif., and other cities in Southern California. He started his own family, with wife Michele, when they married in 1978. They were together nearly two decades, raised three children, and remained close friends until Corey's passing. Corey also had a second marriage, to wife Jhan-Moneeh Chau, from 2007 to 2012, and for their honeymoon, he accomplished his life-long dream of cruising to Alaska. Though he was a proud native of Southern California, Corey also lived in Arizona, in the Northern California town of Shasta Lake City, and he settled in the Federal Way/Kent/Tacoma area in 1996. He spent his remaining years in Washington, close to his children and grandchildren. A bright, resourceful and multi-talented man, Corey was a hard and loyal worker who pursued several careers over the years. Those jobs included working as a foreman, and later office manager, for family-owned construction business Smith and Sons, as manager of several auto parts stores, and most recently as a freight coordinator for the Holland America Line, where he began working in 1996. He sometimes half-joked he'd actually always wanted to be an accountant, and though that wasn't meant to be, he used his considerable knack for numbers to do income taxes for friends and family year after year, always free of charge and with no expectation of returned favors.For the last few years, Corey suffered from a degenerative brain disease called Lewy Body Dementia. He spent his last birthday—which was also the first day of Summer and, this year, Father's Day—in the company of his children, grandchildren and surviving siblings. His family takes comfort in knowing he's left to reunite with his beloved mother Jean, late brother Craig, and other loved ones.Corey is survived by his father, Don Smith; sister Kimberly Smith Parris; brothers Christopher and Kenneth Smith; son Corey Ray Smith, Jr., and his partner Adriana Valencia Barajas; daughter

Cassandra Anne Clark and her husband Casey; son Michael Ryan Smith and his wife Stephanie; grandchildren Taylor, Elyana, Caylee, Carter, Aviana; and many nephews, nieces, cousins, and others who loved him like family. A memorial for Corey will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 15, on Lake Meridian in Kent. The address is 25840 135th Lane SE. Another memorial will be held in Chico, Calif., on Sunday, Sept. 6., with the location to be determined. His ashes will be interred alongside his mother and brother at Whiskeytown Lake, in his home state of California. His children have established Corey Smith's Memorial page on Facebook to share pictures and memories, as well as a YouCaring account to help cover memorial and other end-of-life costs.

The goal is improved education of students, not pay or class size. The biggest funding improvement for all school levels is elimina-tion of the federal depart-ment of education and shrinking of the adminis-trative overhead within the state.

Please compare the sala-ries of the federal adminis-trators, and teacher salaries. Also compare superin-tendent salaries to teacher salaries.

The administrators do not teach any students and in some cases hamper the teacher’s ability to do so.

The proof of Ms. Finne’s point is comparison of spending per student by each school district across the United States, and the achievement level of the students in each district.

I am certain that some districts have a higher achievement level than

other districts that spent more money per student. Compare spending on education in the U.S. versus other countries that have surpassed the U.S. in educa-tional achievement.– Bill Malinski

Let state regulate, license guns

Last year 10,000 Americans died from gun violence.

One solution? Let’s have state-run gun shops, just as we do for drivers licenses.

The state could then regulate and license guns, just as they do for cars.– Jack Sheppard

Act now to prevent wild fires

From one year to the next, we’re now seeing wild fires more destructive and dangerous to homes and

businesses, including the loss of life to wild animals and man.

As we’ve seen this sum-mer, California is a tinder-box, and Washington state will be one, too, if we don’t act fast.

Install sprinkling systems in the forests and wooded rural areas that surround homes and businesses. We’re wasting a lot of water from the Columbia and other rivers by letting it run out to sea. Let’s use that water and give the weary and courageous firefighters a hand.

Hire workers in early spring to cut the brush and grasses and turn on the sprinklers to dampen the trees, shrubs and soil before the fire season begins.

Washington state is spending millions to fight these fires. There is no time to lose. We need to act now before its too late.– Gus Olivo

Allow college to embrace trends

Local Motors can 3-D print a car.

Bon Vivant Elon Musk is pushing new boundaries without combustion.

Google, Garmin and oth-ers have mapped just about everything there is to map.

Did it ever occur to an antiquated, 19th century organization like the Labor Council that new technol-ogy is the way to go?

Why not let smarter people than labor bosses, who resist change, open up the curriculum to new trends offering exciting, new jobs and room for advancement? Look ahead, not back. Maybe it’s time to let go of old ways like auto body shop and geographic info systems.

You let go of the 8-track for something better. I know you did.

Then let Green River College President Eileen Ely position the college by spotting industry trends on the upswing and burgeon-ing growth sectors with swathes of unfilled employ-ment slots. Let American innovators fill these with our graduates, not foreign-educated workers with visas who have the right skill set.

If the Labor Council so badly wants to maintain old technology, then let the Labor Council totally underwrite both programs. You’re rich.

If you love them so much, that seems far more reasonable than telling 400,000 union members to

boycott the college in Kent and Auburn.

Instead, Labor Council big shots could warmly invite the 400,000 strong to pony up for auto body and geographic information systems since the commu-nique seems like it’s being drafted.

I don’t know about you but I want to take a spin in something so creative Detroit couldn’t even dream it up or build it like it did in the good ole days. You’ll find me on the freeway of love next to the pink Cadil-lac.– Joy Etienne

Wrong approach with cameras

The article, “City to add school zone speed cameras at two more sites” (Kent Reporter, July 31), brought to mind a very disturbing experience I had regarding the speed zone cameras at Sunrise Elementary School.

Shortly after the cameras were installed, I received a citation for going 35 mph in a 20-mph school zone. I noted that the cameras approaching the school zone from the north are set several feet before the flash-ing warning lights and are located about two blocks before you reach the school. I always slow down when going through a school zone and was traveling within the 20-mph limit well before I reached the school.

The cameras are set to pick up your speed for as-sessing the fine at the entry

point without regard for your speed through the rest of the school zone.

I live in Renton, and there is a distinct differ-ence in Renton’s approach from that used in Kent. In Renton the cameras are set at the school, not the entry point. For example, had I been traveling through the Talbot Hill Elementary School speed zone I would not have received a citation.

Assessing the fine based on speed at the entry point, two blocks before the school, and ignoring speed through the rest of the school zone makes no sense.

Clearly, Kent’s approach is all about money, not about school safety.– James Lowndes

Keep cannabis stores open

Please leave the canna-bis stores and users alone (“City plans to shut down medical marijuana shops,” Kent Reporter Aug. 7). There is scientific evidence that shows cannabis (pot, weed) saves lives and we all know evidence is what holds up in court.

Please allow me to remind you city “officials” that you took an oath to help, serve and protect and I should also remind you that you are not, if you jail, fine and prosecute citizens for a nonviolent plant that saves lives. Thank you for your time and compassion to save lives.– Jason Fuller

we don’t love our neighbor.And I was taught that

above all, if God is per-fect, and God is love, then love is perfect, even with our human weakness and limitations.

So when the Supreme Court legalized all marriage throughout the United States, given it was between two consenting adults, I finally saw our nation take steps toward accepting all love, legally and culturally.

The concept of marriage has followed us through-out the ages, and we’ve morphed this idea to fit how we see the world. Some cultures have limited the definition of marriage to one man and one woman, despite humanity’s rich history of joining same-sex couples together in union

before their laws and their gods.

But the issue surround-ing same-sex marriage isn’t just about the history of marriage, or the history of religion. If changing culture were as easy as giving a small history lesson, there never would have been any controversy in the first place. What it comes down to is belief, and some people hold strong to the belief that marriage can only be between a man and a woman.

I strongly disagree.Any couple who comes

before God to be joined together in spirit, whether they be different or same-sex, are equal in every way, including God’s love.

If you don’t agree with me, that’s your privilege, and I think that’s totally chill. The legalization of all

marriage doesn’t mean ev-ery American has to accept it straight away. It doesn’t even mean every church, pastor and priest has to per-form marriages that they don’t morally agree with.

The separation of church and state is a wonderful thing, and like President James Madison said, “Every new and successful example therefore of a perfect sepa-ration between ecclesiasti-cal and civil matters, is of importance. And I have

no doubt that every new example, will succeed, as every past one has done, in showing that religion and government will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together.”

Long story short, govern-ment and religion function better when the two do not mix. The government’s job is to impart a legal and economic contract to those who want to be married before the law, and the church’s job is to present

two people before their cre-ator to be joined together in love.

Sometimes the church and state agree, but not always.

So let’s at least have legal equality on Earth, and let God sort everything out later.

The only thing besides love that I believe is true,

and will always be true, no matter how people feel, how they act or what they believe, is that we are all born equal.

And I believe He would agree.

heart of one of the world’s most prolific salmon and halibut fisher-ies.

Oil companies have been care-ful to leave the lightest possible footprint. Equipment and supplies are trucked over ice roads that disappear with the spring thaw. Even parked trucks have drop cloths placed underneath them to protect the fragile Arctic tundra.

Wildlife continues to coexist. In its most recent survey, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game re-ported in 2011 that the state’s largest caribou herd had quadrupled since the pipeline was built.

The grounding of the Exxon Valdez, which spilled 10 mil-lion gallons of crude into Prince William Sound in 1989, is the textbook definition of what to avoid. In the end, Exxon paid billions in fines, cleanup and restoration costs. Because of that disaster, double-hulled tankers

are now required; tugs escort the tankers through narrow channels; and, cleanup equipment is pre-positioned to quickly respond.

So, is it safe to drill beneath Arctic ice?

There are Russian platforms using American technology in the Arctic Ocean. Despite the harsh winters and thick ice, liquefied natural gas and oil from beneath the ocean floor is being shipped year around from Sakhalin Island.

Shell, under the authorization of President Obama, is drilling off Alaska. Despite the marked drop in oil prices, Shell is investing bil-lions to explore for oil and gas in the Arctic Ocean, which says a lot about its importance to America’s future energy supply.

A 2008 U.S. Geological Survey estimated that areas north of the Arctic Circle have 90 billion bar-rels of recoverable oil, which rep-resents 13 percent of the world’s undiscovered crude. Much of it is

offshore.American oil companies are

using new technology, equipment, training and extensive environ-mental safeguards, and their operations are subject to intensive government oversight.

Is it foolproof? No. But every form of energy production has an environmental impact. Big solar arrays and massive farms of wind turbines cover thousands of acres of wildlife habitat and have been deadly to birds caught in their paths.

We need a mix of energy sup-plies to meet our needs and fuel our economic growth. The key is to act as wisely and carefully as possible.

Kent Police arrested a 19-year-old man for inves-tigation of reckless driving after he reportedly raced another vehicle at speeds of up to 85 mph in a 40 mph zone along the East Valley Highway.

An officer on patrol near South 212th Street and the highway saw two cars racing at about 12:30 a.m. on Aug. 1, according to the police report.

The cars were side by side as they raced north-bound along the highway, also known as 84th Avenue South. The officer activated the overhead lights on his vehicle and chased after the cars. He pulled over one driver in the 19800 block of East Valley Highway. He told the driver to stay put until he came back so he could pursue the other driver.

In the 18800 block of East Valley Highway, the officer caught up to the second car. Another officer went to check on the first car, but the driver had left.

The officer didn’t get a license plate number for the vehicle.

The officer told the second driver, “You know better than to be racing. Why were you doing that?”

The driver replied, “I know. I was just being stupid.”

Woman throws chair at boyfriend

Officers arrested a 51-year-old woman for investigation of fourth-degree assault after she allegedly threw a chair at her boyfriend during a dispute and hit him in the face on Aug. 2 at a home in the 27200 block of 120th Avenue Southeast.

The woman fled from the home but an officer found her sitting nearby by the side of the road, according to the police report.

According to the boyfriend, the two were in an argument when the girlfriend went outside to call a cab to take her to the store to get something to

eat. The boyfriend made some com-ment to her about being drunk, so she ran back in-

side the house and started to chase him.

She then threw a chair at him from about 3 or 4 feet away.

The two have been in a relationship for more than 30 years.

Man tosses girlfriend’s items out of vehicle

Police responded to a domestic dispute between a man and a woman at about 4:43 p.m. on Aug. 2 outside a vehicle near South 228th Street and Fourth Avenue North.

The woman told officers she and her boyfriend live in the vehicle, a 1998 Mit-subishi Montero, according to the police report.

She told police her boyfriend became upset after she had knocked on the door of a friend’s place. They got in their

car, argued and then the boyfriend started to throw her things, including a cell-phone, out of the vehicle.

The boyfriend told her to get out of the vehicle. When she refused, he reportedly grabbed her and threw her onto the ground, scraping her elbow and knee.

Officers arrested the boyfriend for investigation of fourth-degree assault and third-degree malicious mischief. The boyfriend said he accidentally threw her items out of the vehicle.

Man steals car, parks it

Officers arrested a man for investigation of posses-sion of a stolen vehicle at

about 3:54 a.m. on Aug. 3 in a car repair shop parking lot in the 8400 block of South 200th Street.

Officers responded to a suspicious vehicle call in connection with a black Toyota Celica, according to the police report.

Police found a woman sleeping in the passenger seat of the Celica, the car’s ignition had been removed and someone hot wired the car to start it. Officers discovered the car had been stolen out of Auburn. They found a man in the backseat of a nearby car who allegedly had stolen the Celica.

Police arrested the woman for investigation of possession of drug para-phernalia after they found two needles and a spoon in

a jacket pocket.

Illegal campingPolice broke up a small

homeless camp on July 31 in the 24900 block of Frager Road.

An officer saw two vehicles parked illegally along the side of the road and then followed a short path into the woods where he found an encampment with ropes tied to trees with blankets hanging from the ropes, according to the police report.

Police also found a blue tent and a man and a wom-an living inside the tent. The officers told them they needed to clean up their camp and leave because camping isn’t allowed in that area. Officers cited the man for illegal camping.

A revocable living trust is created during lifetime to distribute assets of a deceased person. The main objective is to avoid probate. However, this is accomplished only if all “probate assets” are titled in the trust. Otherwise, the estate must be probated to transfer assets held in the decedent’s personal name.

The expense of creating the trust, and the inconvenience of dealing with the trust during lifetime are disadvantages. The relative simplicity of Washington’s probate process, and the ability to avoid probate in other ways are factors to consider.

Protect your right to distribute your estate as you intend in a cost-effective manner. Consult with an estate planning attorney today.

FOR THE REPORTER

Kent area youth and adult leaders recently took a step back in time to embark on a challenging journey – a trip resilient Mormon pioneers made more than 150 years ago.

Th e teenagers and lead-ers, approximately 140 strong and members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, com-pleted the Mormon Pioneer Trek near Prosser in July.

Rather than cross the plains of the Midwest, they

put their shoulders to the wheel in Bing Canyon, south of Kennewick, near the Washington-Oregon border.

Th e church’s Kent Stake organizes the journey every four years, along with pioneer treks re-enacted by LDS youth throughout the world.

Youth pulled handcarts with gear like those used by the early pioneers who be-gan their journey between 1856-1860. Th e handcarts are approximately 6-by-8

feet in size, with two large wagon wheels and a bar for pulling and pushing the cart along.

Youth donned pioneer attire similar to that worn in the 1800s, cooked their meals on the trail, were treated to period music and slept under the stars.

Th e teens were assigned to a family consisting of approximately nine youth, plus a “Ma” and “Pa.” Each person received a wrist band with the name and biography of a real pioneer.

Th e trek took place on a barren desert trail approxi-mately 18 miles in length. Th roughout the trek, youth heard pioneer stories and encountered some of the ordeals of early pioneer life.

Th e trek was strenuous and hard, which was part of the appeal. Over the course of three days, youth pulled the handcarts approximate-ly 17 miles across hot sand, sagebrush and dirt.

Th e end of the trek for the youth found familiar

faces, green grass, food and a popular hair washing sta-tion. Th ey were able to view a list with the names of the pioneers on their bracelet to see if the person they were assigned survived the journey.

Aft er returning home, youth shared their experi-ences. Th ey felt a con-nection to the Mormon pioneers.

“Th is is the best church activity I’ve ever been a part of,” said Brandon Jessup, 16.

In preparation for the trip, youth learned pioneer-era dances, were assigned a pioneer personality to research, and were encour-aged to learn about their own family history.

Approximately 70,000 Mormon pioneers crossed the plains aft er the migra-tion began in 1846.

in the primary to incum-bent Debbie Raplee, Bill Boyce and Charles Lam-bert. Boyce beat Raplee in the general election.

“It’s not really too sur-prising,” Thomas said about Allen taking him on. “The late entry is going to make it difficult for her. But she’s a great lady.”

Allen’s name won’t be on the ballot and she won’t be in the voters’ pamphlet.

“It was my choice and decision to file when I did,” Allen said about miss-ing deadlines to get her name on the ballot. “After carefully following the do’s and don’ts of King County Elections, I realized that I could file for the primary or the general. After making sure that it was settled in my mind, heart and spirit, I rose to meet the challenge and go for the write-in.”

She knows it’s a tough road to get elected as a write-in candidate, espe-cially against an incumbent.

“Yes, I have read and heard how hard write-in campaigns can be,” Allen said. “How-ever, maybe now is the time to put that to the test. I took enough time to garner sup-

port from other citizens and family so that I could make a good run at it.”

Allen also decided to drop her hyphenated name of Allen-Carston for the campaign.

“I chose to run as Gwen Allen to make it easier for the voters,” she said. “My husband gives his approval.”

The council appointed Allen on Aug. 4 to the city’s fireworks committee as Allen-Carston. She is part of the three-member committee that will write a statement in favor of a city ban on fireworks for the voters’ pamphlet. The Nov. 3 ballot proposition is only an advisory vote about what the council should do as far as banning fireworks.

Word about Allen’s filing for office spread at the Aug. 4 council meeting when Thomas abstained from voting on Allen’s appoint-ment to the fireworks com-mittee. Even Mayor Suzette Cooke didn’t know at that time about Allen running for the council.

“I would like to abstain from this particular vote since one of the members mentioned is running in opposition to me this fall,” Thomas said to Cooke.

The mayor replied, “I’m sorry, Councilmember Thomas as I am aware you have no opposition. You’re talking about in the elec-tion?”

“I am, your honor,” he said.“No, there’s no opposi-

tion,” Cooke said.“I do,” Thomas added. “It’s

been openly declared with a C1 (candidate registration form) in Olympia on to com-puters and the PDC, so with your permission I would like to abstain from this par-ticular vote. I don’t want to turn this election into some kind of dog and pony show so that’s how I would like to proceed.”

“All right, you will abstain from the vote,” Cooke said.

Allen has no plans to turn the campaign into any type of show.

“I’m not in this for any shenanigans, rhetoric or making this some kind of dog and pony show as my opponent has suggested,” Allen said. “I’m in it to win it for the sake of our future and generations to come.”

Allen decided to chal-lenge Thomas rather than unopposed incumbents Boyce and Dana Ralph be-cause Thomas has been on the council for 12 years and

will be in office for 16 years if elected again.

“His long-standing accomplishments, in the political realm, are ap-preciated, but, it would seem like, as some of his background information out there might suggest, his profession is being a council member,” Allen said about Thomas.

Thomas doesn’t plan to change his campaign strat-egy much.

“I’ll get signs out,” he said. “I may put out a few more than I planned to but that’s the only significant difference.”

He remains curious how voters might respond to a write-in candidate.

“It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out,” Thomas said.

Allen led a campaign last September of KBAC and community members asking for Thomas’ resignation in connection with comments Thomas made at a council meeting after Councilwoman Deborah Ranniger asked for a moment of silence for Mike Brown, the 18-year-old black man shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Mo. Thomas objected to the moment of silence for some-

one he called a “thief.”Allen spoke to the matter

during the council’s public comment period, asking for the resignation of Thomas. But she said last week Kent has many issues it needs to work on as a city, including new residents.

“We are practically burst-

ing at the seams with new arrivals, from around the world and right next door in Seattle,” she said. “We need to be ready to welcome and receive folks as they show up to call Kent home. Learning how to live, work and serve, together should be at the forefront of all that we do.”

Rajjat Chauhan prepares to compete in the dead lift at the U.S. Powerlifting Association National Championships in July at Las Vegas. COURTESY PHOTO

BY HEIDI SANDERS

[email protected]

As 18-year-old Rajjat Chauhan prepares to start his senior year at Kentlake High School, he is also get-ting ready to compete in the International Powerlift ing League World Champion-ships in November in Las Vegas.

Chauhan qualifi ed for the World Championships winning the Junior Men 18-19 Single Ply 148-pound class at the U.S. Powerlift -ing Association National Championships in July at Las Vegas.

Chauhan, who has been training in powerlift ing for six years and compet-ing for the last three, said he was surprised to win at nationals.

“I didn’t know I was go-

ing to take fi rst,” he said. “I didn’t know I would qualify for worlds.”

He set a national record in the squat and state records in all three lift s and the combined total with

a 451.94 pound squat, a 209.44 pound bench press and a 440.92 pound dead lift totaling 1102.3 pounds.

His father, Hardeep Singh Chauhan, inspired him to begin lift ing.

“My dad was a powerlift -er back in India,” he said.

Rajjat Chauhan’s uncle was also a champion pow-erlift er in Australia.

“It just runs in the fam-ily,” he said. “Th at is what I

wanted to do. Looking at all the trophies they have got me into it.”

Hardeep Chahan coaches Rajjat and as well as 16-year-old Avtar Singh, a Kentwood High student.

“I started going to the gym with him (Rajjat),” Singh said of his start in powerlift ing, which he began competing in last year, although he has been training for several years.

Singh took fi rst place in the Junior Men 16-17 Raw 198-pound division at the Washington State Spring Fling in February at Ken-newick. He set state records in his division with a 363.76 pound squat, a 192.9 pound bench press and a 418.87 pound dead lift for a total of 975.54 pounds.

Records fall, women rule at Northwest Nationals drag racesREPORTER STAFF

Although Jack “Fast Jack” Beck-man made a splash on Friday by becoming the fi rst Funny Car driver to break the four-second barrier on

the 1,000-foot drag strip at Pacifi c Raceways, it was the ladies of Top Alcohol who made the most noise at last weekend’s NHRA Northwest Nationals.

Megan McKernan in Top Alcohol Dragster, and Annie Whitely in Top Alcohol Funny Car, posted wins in Sunday’s fi nals, McKernan defeating Garrett Bateman for her second win of the NHRA Mello Yello National

Drag Racing Series.In Top Alcohol Funny Car,

Whitely won her third NHRA na-tional event trophy, defeating Shane Westerfi eld in the fi nals with a winning elapsed time (E.T.) of 5.546 seconds, at a top speed of 265.43 miles per hour.

Westerfi eld had beaten Whitely in each of their previous fi ve meet-

ings.Prior to Sunday’s fi nals, however,

it was Beckman in the Funny Car division who was the talk of the track.

He broke the track record on Fri-day, becoming the fi rst Funny Car driver to post a sub-four-second fi nish at Pacifi c Raceways.

Flowers belong at wed-dings and there is a beautiful trend toward outdoor recep-tions and weddings.

Our youngest daughter was married last month, and we used hydrangeas from my garden and the gardens of many friends and family to add to the joy of the celebration.

In honor of summer brides everywhere, here are a few tips on using fresh fl owers in a wedding.

1. Once you know the date of the wedding, talk to a local gardener about what fl owers will be in season. Of course you can ship in roses for a winter wedding and even fi nd tulips for a wedding in the early summer but you’ll pay three times the price when you import blooms from the other side of the world.

2. Choose fl owers grown by local growers when pos-sible. In Western Washing-ton we are lucky to have farmer’s markets in many communities where local growers will sell direct to the public. Some of the fl ower growers have farms in Eastern Washington but make the trek over the Cascades every weekend to

peddle their petals direct to the consumer. Local fl orists that specialize in wedding fl owers will oft en buy from local growers when the bride chooses fl owers in season.

3. If the bride has her heart set on a certain fl ower (our daughter really wanted peonies – that were out of season in July) you can go on the Internet and fi nd a grower from Alaska or

Hawaii and splurge on these fl owers for just her bouquet or as an accent fl ower amidst the less expensive blooms that are in season. Alaska has become a hot spot for wedding peonies as the long hours of daylight and cool summer weather makes the peony crop available almost all summer. Hawaii grows orchids year round and both states have family farms that will ship directly to private homes using ice packs and overnight express.

4. Meet with a fl orist about what type of fl owers hold best in hot and sunny weather. Local fl orists can suggest fl owers that resist wilting and they also have access to special sprays that keep petals from wilt-

ing and drying out. Don’t overlook the common mum. Chrysanthemums are not only available all year long but they hold up in heat and also cold weather, they come in a multitude of colors, shapes and fl ower forms and can cost half the price of imported roses or orchids.

5. Don’t depend on growing your own fl ow-ers. Timing is everything and weather conditions are unpredictable. Just because your pink lilies were in bloom last summer during the month of June does not mean they will fl ower at the same time next year. Ditto that your hydrangeas may not be the same color from one year to the next.

Chauhan also set state records at that competition in the Junior Men 16-17 Single Ply 132.2-pound division.

Th e two boys spend about three to four hours in the gym fi ve days a week training. During the school year, time is limited so training sessions are two to three hours.

“It takes a lot of time,” Chauhan said. Chauhan said he would like to win a

world championship title in sub juniors, which will have to be accomplished before he is 21.

Singh also has his eyes set on taking a world title.

“Th e goal is always to go to worlds and place in worlds,” he said.

Chauhan said he plans to stay active in powerlift ing.

“I want to stay in there before I get too busy with my life,” he said.

On Saturday night, Beck-man reset the track and NHRA record with a blister-ing pass of 3.912 seconds.

But in the semifi nals on Sunday, Beckman suff ered a mechanical breakdown – his engine dropped a cylinder – allowing Tommy Johnson Jr. to make the fi nals. Johnson went on to take the win with a pass of 4.073 seconds at 308 mph to Del Worsham’s 4.042 at 307.51 mph.

“If you would’ve told me three weeks ago that we would make the two quickest runs in Funny Car history, back up the national record, win two races and close within fi ve points of (team-mate Matt Hagan) and (crew chief) Dickie Venables (for the series lead), I would say, ‘Sign me up for that,’” said

Beckman, a fi ve-time winner this year. “Th at being said, it’s disappointing to get that far into the Western Swing, have a chance to sweep and not get it done.”

Beckman earlier won the series’ two previous stops at Denver and Sonoma, Calif., before arriving in Kent.

In Top Fuel, J.R. Todd beat Shawn Langdon, post-ing a 3.824-second, 323.04-mph run. Langdon posted a 3.902 at 307.81 mph.

In other racing, Jeff Lane, of North Bend, added to his trophy collection by taking the win in Comp Elimina-tor over Ryan Warter.

Puyallup’s Glen Paine Jr. and Josh Dalrymple each picked up their fi rst NHRA national event Wally trophy as Paine beat Gene Heaton, of Vancouver, Wash., in the Super Gas fi nal. Dalrymple,

out of Sunnyside, raced Fred Hoff man, of Shoreline, for the Super Street title in a battle of ’67 Camaros. Hoff -man left early, drawing a red light foul, and Dalrymple ran it out to a 10.869-second, 156.50-mph lap for the win.

Steve Wann and Tommy Phillips rounded out the list of winners. Wann, of Modesto, Calif., battled Brian Th ompson in close Stock division fi nal with the nod going to Wann and his ’62 Fury.

Phillips, of Forney, Texas, had a nice .010-second reaction time on his way to his 33rd national event win, downing Nick Drzayich, of Auburn, in Super Comp.

Northwest Division rac-ers are back here at Pacifi c Raceways for their next Lu-cas Oil Drag Racing Series event, Aug., 21-23.

He is scheduled to be arraigned on Aug. 20 at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. If convicted as charged, Reber, who is not in custody, could face up to one year in jail.

Kent Police initially investigated Reber for vehicular homicide aft er interviewing witnesses and reviewing security camera footage of the incident. Reber was driving an SUV through the school parking lot as Benson gripped the back edge of the hood near the windshield, with his chest on the hood and his feet toward the front of the vehicle, according to charging papers.

Reber backed the SUV out of a parking spot and then appeared to rapidly accel-erate through the parking lot at about 15-20 mph and then made a sharp left turn. As Reber made the turn, Benson slid off the hood, his feet appeared to land fi rst, but the momentum of his upper body continued toward the ground and the back of Benson’s head hit the pavement hard. Benson, a senior, died the next day Harborview Medical Center in Seattle from the head injury.

Th is marks the fi rst “car-surfi ng” case fi led in King County, said Dan Donohoe, spokesman for the King County Pros-ecuting Attorney’s Offi ce. He said there were a couple of reasons to fi le a reckless driving charge rather than a vehicular

homicide charge.“We consulted with the victim’s family

during our charging decision,” Donohoe said. “We balance out the wishes of the victim’s family and the circumstances of the crime.”

In the charging papers against Reber, prosecutors say that he drove a motor vehicle with willful and wanton disregard for the safety of persons and property.

Prosecutors also said Reber has no criminal or traffi c history and that the state doesn’t oppose to his release on personal recognizance on the condition that he not drive a vehicle without a valid license and insurance and have no more moving violations. If the King County Superior Court judge agrees, that means Reber would remain free aft er his ar-raignment instead of being sent to jail.

In a similar 2013 case in Salem, Ore., a 16-year girl pleaded guilty in 2014 to criminally negligent homicide in Marion County aft er she drove a car in a store parking lot that resulted in the death of a 17-year-old girl who was riding atop a vehicle in what’s known as “car surfi ng.”

Th e driver received fi ve years proba-tion, prohibition against driving for fi ve years and 120 hours of community ser-vice, including presentations to area high schools about the dangers of “car surfi ng,” according to a report on statesmanjour-nal.com.

PUBLIC NOTICES

6. Use potted plants when pos-sible. Lining the bride’s walk down the aisle with pots of cyclamens, mums or hydrangeas can be less expensive and more practical than using cut flowers. Plus you can add the potted plants to your garden or give them away to guests when the event is over.

7. Fabulous foliage can add a lush look. Baskets of ferns made from

sword fern fronds, huge leaves from hosta and colorful foliage from heu-cheras are becoming more popular in wedding bouquets as brides seek to add an original twist to the wed-ding flowers. Succulents are also be-ing used as cut flower alternatives in arrangements or as potted plants on tables. The more leaves, berries and spiky grasses you add to the mix the less flowers you will need to buy and the more resilient the display will be.

8. Visit Pinterest and become

inspired. The Pinterest website is like a bulletin board where you can post your favorite photos of any creative idea and also grab images from other creative people and try something new. Pinterest inspired us to create a “flower wall” using hydrangeas that filled a gold picture frame and also a center-piece that can only be described as a ‘hydrangea waterfall’ that flowed off the table an onto the floor at the reception site. Pinterest is not

just about pretty photos – often you can visit a site with just one click that will share more details and how-to information about the project you see posted on the site.

9. Share the joy by sharing the flowers. After a wedding or large cel-ebration the flower centerpieces can be sent home with guests to enjoy, brought to a church or my personal favorite delivered to a nursing home and given away to house-bound residents. When properly cared for

cut flowers centerpieces will last for a week to 10 days. After that the faded blooms can be recycled into a compost pile.

10. Remember to take a deep breath, inhale the fragrance of flowers and enjoy the day. Flow-ers are nature’s reminder that the world is a beautiful place and life should be enjoyed – so celebrate.
