Prosecutor: previous cases still stick

Kent Police and prosecutors plan to follow the new state law that became effective Thursday, Dec. 6 and no longer pursue any new possession cases

voters chose to approve Initiative 502 – which legalizes possession of up to an ounce for adults older than 21 – the drug is still illegal at the federal level. And with the feds still mum on whether they will continue to enforce

KENT’S NATIONAL NIGHT OUT EVENT RECEIVES NATIONAL RECOGNITION The Kent Police Department has received local and national recognition for its participation and outreach during this year’s National Night Out event. Kent’s Aug. 7 program ranked 10th in the nation among cities with a population of 100,000 to 299,000, and was the only city in the group to be recognized from the Pacific Northwest. St. Paul, Minn., ranked No. 1. Kent has a population of 119,100. This was the 29th year for the international event that uses social gatherings to promote greater community awareness to issues of crime prevention and public safety. In Kent, the 2012 program made use of 90 plus dignitaries, government officials and special guests to visit a record 120 hosted events in neighborhoods throughout the city. Retail giant Target also provided support and assistance for the events. Evaluation of National Night Out events is conducted by the National Association of Town Watch. Following each year’s events, communities submit a comprehensive review and award application to be considered for recognition. The Kent Police Department maintains a program and has been regularly recognized for excellence.

Bellevue man charged with sex crimes A 35-year-old Bellevue man and former Seattle high school assistant football coach faces charges of seconddegree attempted rape of a child and communication with a minor for immoral purposes in connection with texts he allegedly sent to a 13-year-old
Kent girl and agreeing to meet for sex with a girl. That second girl turned out to be an undercover Kent Police detective who posed as a 13-year-old girl while texting the man, according to charging papers filed by King County prosecutors. Omar P. Urrutia pleaded not guilty to the charges on Monday at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent.
King County prosecutors charged a 59-year-old Montana man on Monday for second-degree murder in connection with the killing of a Kirkland mother of two in 1996. The two were coworkers at Bowen Scarff Ford in Kent. Clifford E. Reed allegedly caused the death of Sandi Rae Johnson, 28, in April 1996, according to charging papers. King County Sheriff ’s Office detectives arrested Reed on Monday in Victor, Mont. Reed reportedly moved to Montana shortly after Johnson disappeared. Johnson’s body was found in August 2004 along Highway 410 in Pierce County. “This proves what can be done with a dedicated cold case unit that follows up on leads and conducts thorough investigations,” said King County Sheriff John Urquhart. “The Sheriff ’s Office remains committed to finding ways to seek justice in murder cases, no matter how much time has passed.” Reed will be extradited to King County to face the charges. As of Tuesday, he remained in the Ravalli County Adult Detention Center in
Hamilton, Mont. “This case shows the true value of a cold case detective squad,” said King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg. “The families of victims of unsolved murders need to know that we will never give up seeking justice for them.” Prosecutors requested bail be set at $5 million. “He is a flight risk and a risk to community safety,” wrote Carla Carlstrom, senior deputy prosecuting attorney in charging papers. “The defendant left the state shortly after Sandi Johnson was murdered and never returned. He has no ties to Washington. Apart from this killing, he is known to have seriously assaulted an escort who refused to cooperate as a witness to the resulting felony charges. The defendant ultimately was convicted of assault in the fourth degree and has several other arrests in his background.” The charging papers did not detail what led detectives to arrest Reed 16 years after the killing of Johnson. But the documents listed the details surrounding the disappearance of Johnson.

In the outside chance the Kent Police Department does refer a case involving the possession of one ounce or less of marijuana by a person 21 or over, the prosecutor will not

Kent has 248 pending possession of marijuana cases in municipal court, Fitzpatrick said.

decided to take a stricter stand than the county. “Kent believes its approach is appropriate and balanced,� Fitzpatrick said. “When these individuals were charged, they committed an act that our Legislature declared to be a crime. Not only was it a crime, it was one of the few misdemeanor crimes in which our Legislature required a mandatory minimum sentence (the others being DUI and Driving While License Suspended in the 1st Degree).� Possession of marijuana under the law before Dec. 6 was a simple misdemeanor with a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. It carried with it a mandatory minimum sentence of one day in jail and $250 in fines (i.e. a court must impose the one day in jail and $250 fine). “We intend to negotiate settlements in these cases short of dismissal in light of the new law that takes effect,� Fitzpatrick said. “It is not our intent that a person be subject to the mandatory minimum penalties that a possession of marijuana conviction brings.� Fitzpatrick said it has yet to be decided what the reduced charges would be if someone agrees to a plea deal. “We have not made that determination as of yet, though reducing the charge to an attempted crime is one possibility being considered,� he said.

month stating “we are following the will of the people and moving ahead with implementation of the initiative.� Gregoire also has asked the Department of Justice to clarify its position on legalization in the state. Also waiting on clarification from the feds is the Washington State Liquor Control Board, which will oversee the regulation of marijuana in the state. The liquor board has a year to craft rules to guide the eventual sale and taxation of marijuana statewide. “As we develop the rules, we will keep in mind our top priority, public safety,� the liquor board said in a press release. The state has until Dec. 1, 2013 to draft rules for the sale of the drug. The sale of marijuana through regulated state stores is eventually expected to provide a financial windfall for the state. The new law calls for taxes of 25 percent on each sale between producers and processors, followed by an additional 25 percent on the sale between processor and retailer. Consumers will then pay a 25 percent tax at retail outlets, in addition to the local sales tax. More than 1.7 million people voted to legalize pot in Washington. About 1.3 million voted no.

It builds upon a pilot program started in 2008 which banned smoking at three properties with 222 units. The second phase followed in 2011, encompassing an additional 14 properties and 884 units. With this final phase, some 8,434 individuals, including 2,091 seniors and 2,610 children, will be protected from secondhand smoke.

Some thoughts on legalization of pot On Dec. 6, 2012, the State of Washington made history. Not just state history. Not just national history. I’m talking world history. Galactic history, as far as I know. The people of our state say it’s no longer illegal for an adult to smoke pot. Just as Prohibition of alcohol was a failed social policy, we have now said the same is true for the prohibition of marijuana. In December of 2009, I wrote an article about reducing costs in the criminal justice system (www.hiplawfirm.com). I advocated ending the failed war on drugs for a fairer, more reasonable and cost effective approach. By passing Initiative 502 on election night, the people of our state took a giant step toward this goal by legalizing marijuana. It’s only the first step in what will be an evolving social policy issue with several twists and turns sure to come. On the part of pot users, some discretion is still in order. “Legal” is qualified. Not everything to do with pot is legal. Like alcohol, you have to be 21. You can’t smoke it in public. If you do, you can receive a civil infraction. Outside of medical marijuana growers, you cannot grow it yourself. If over 21, you can have up to an ounce but
nobody can legally sell or give it to you. And you can’t give it to anyone else. That could technically be a “delivery,” which is different from “possession,” and “delivery” of marijuana is still illegal. During the preelection debate, anti-502 (but prolegalization) folks complained that one would be guilty of a felony for passing a joint to their friend. While that is technically true, that has always been the case. And in my years of defense work, I never saw anyone charged with “delivery” of marijuana for passing a doobie. Now that the item being passed along is legal, I think the threat of a felony is beyond realism. But, clearly, a medical marijuana patient cannot legally obtain pot and then share with or “deliver” it to his or her friends. That is still illegal, even after Thursday’s historic change. DUI marijuana. You cannot be operating a motor vehicle while high on marijuana. The police will still need probable cause to pull you over. But any traffic infraction will do, such as forgetting to signal a lane change or going 15 in a 40mph zone. But now, just like a .08 limit with blood-alcohol, there is a per se limit of 5

EDITOR’S NOTE
“Do you support a smoking ban in public housing?”
Mark Klaas
?
Question of the week:
On the same November evening, a couple of hours apart, witnesses on Auburn’s West Hill and in Kent’s downtown claimed they saw the same thing, something awfully peculiar, flashing and darting across the heavens. A strange, low-flying object – a threeorange-red-light triangle – appeared for a moment, suddenly tipped upward, pivoted and zipped out of view. Witnesses had little time to record the visitor, yet they were willing to try to explain the unexplained. As one of the Auburn witnesses described that night to the Mutual UFO Network, or MUFON, one of the oldest and largest UFO investigative organizations in the country: “The lights pulsed repeatedly, but they looked nothing like anticollision lights on aircraft we have seen thousands of times in our area.” The same “three-light triangular object” description came from two witnesses who reported such a formation moving silently across the sky in Spanaway a week before. What gives? Was it just another in a series of unexplained UFOs intriguing or confusing the stargazing public? Was it an unconventional aircraft, wayward satellite or NASA anomaly? Or was it something more than that? Little green men examining the Green River Valley? It’s James Clarkson’s job to find out more about such occurrences. Clarkson, a career investigator and state employee, served as a Military Police investigator with the Army, then 20 years as a police officer in Aberdeen before retiring. As a young man, he was drawn to the mystery behind UFOs, and in 1987, joined MUFON to devote his quest of the unknown as a volunteer investigator, author and lecturer. Today, he represents MUFON as its state director in charge of investigating UFO events in Washington. Clarkson claims he is no kook, no conspiracy theorist, just a credible investigator who explores the UFO phenomenon Clarkson and provides information to those who are interested. Clarkson has not had a sighting or an experience with a UFO but is convinced the universe is much more complex and richly endowed with intelligence than “we are aware or that we are willing to admit.” He accepts and understands those who consider ufology a complete hoax. He continues his work despite the frequent ridicule, the constant challenges from a skeptical public, uncooperative government agencies, even doubting scientists. But the public has a right to know about

This per se limit does not take into account an individual’s tolerance and is unfair for the medical marijuana patients who smoke frequently to relieve pain and other symptoms of their disease or treatment. But the limit had to be set at some amount. If further research shows that the 5-ng level is too low, the Legislature could make adjustments. To prevent medical marijuana patients from getting caught in the crossfire, an exemption to the 5-ng per se limit should be carved into the law. [ more PROTHERO page 7 ]

There is something very important going on that defies conventional explanation, and our job is to try and address it,� Clarkson said of his mission. Clarkson points out that many people are seri-
www.kentreporter.com ously dedicated to this field. MUFON’s purpose is to collect the most detailed data, capture and assess the soundness of the reports and look for “high strangeness combined with high witness credibility� in each logged sighting. Clarkson estimates there are about 15-20 reported sightings each month in the state but that seven or eight out of every 10 UFO events
reported turn out to have a conventional or man-made explanation. “Investigating UFOs is really a lot like what I imagine panning for gold is like: You spend a lot of time sloshing the mud and the gravel, but you do pick up the nuggets, and you always find something worthwhile or interesting,� Clarkson said. MUFON, as Clarkson says, takes a conservative, cautious
approach. It is not out to convince the public that Earth is about to be invaded by alien forces. Yet there are those who think so. “We keep it logical, and we don’t make assumptions we cannot support,� Clarkson said. “We try hard to be fair and objective.� Many people who report a UFO sighting have little understanding of the sky, Clarkson said. Witnesses
come from all walks. “Pilots I know have reported sightings that would make the hair stand up on the back on your neck,� Clarkson said.

in the universe. In fact, many surveys over time suggest that a good portion of people remain convinced that some form of alien life does exist in the wide, wide cosmos. Clarkson’s belief? “One way or another we are going to discover that life is just as abundant in the universe as it is here on Earth,â€? he said. “I honestly have come to the conclusion – and I can’t prove this objectively, I freely admit it – but if you ask me what I believe, I think that life is going to end up being the other force in the universe. â€œâ€Ś I mean, we keep stumbling over water everywhere we look (on other planets). It’s not a big leap to think that where there is water, there could be some kind of life form.â€? But what about intelligent life? Steven Spielberg introduced us to the imaginary “E.T.â€? 30 years ago. He went home, and hasn’t come back. Or has he? “If you want me to commit – based upon my entire research and my experiences, etc. – I do think we’ve been visited by something that isn’t human,â€? Clarkson said. Someday, Clarkson the ufologist insists, we will have that explanation. Believe it, or not.

www.kentreporter.com [ PROTHERO from page 5 ] Besides potential driving impairment, to be on the safe side from a strictly legal standpoint, I would advise people not to smoke pot in their vehicles. The pungent aroma of some recently smoked Willie Nelson Purple Kush could reasonably lead to an officer’s suspicion and a blood test. A routine traffic stop could turn into a DUI, even if your driving wasn’t impaired. The feds. The most obvious legal issue is the conflict with federal law. It is true that the federal response is yet unknown. Will the feds swoop in and
start arresting and charging Washington pot smokers with federal charges, even though the people of our state say it is legal here? I doubt it. I think it’s fair to assume the feds will continue to bust major grow operations, interstate transport and distribution, and major dealers acting in the void until licensing, regulation, and tax schemes are in place in a year. Hopefully, the feds will continue to leave simple possession alone and see how our social experiment evolves. The feds have already demonstrated their acceptance of medical marijuana cooperatives and dispensaries that operate
within the law. They aren’t just looking the other way. Several months ago, they came in and busted several Puget Sound area dispensaries that were allegedly distributing beyond the medical marijuana bounds. However, they left alone many more who were operating within Washington law, even though technically still illegal under federal law. On this point, members of the Kent City Council, please take note and revisit your ban. The feds won’t mind. Even less so now that we’ve legalized recreational use for adults. From a legal standpoint, my advice is simple: Be smart. Don’t smoke it in your vehicle
and don’t drive when you’re high. It’s only legal to possess if you’re 21 years old or older. Don’t smoke it in public. If you do, you can be fined. The law will be evolving over the next several years, through the courts and legislatures of our state and country. We are progressing forward. If you want to get high, just be discreet. If you have any questions about the laws involving marijuana, contact a criminal defense lawyer. Mark Prothero is an attorney at law at Hanis Irvine Prothero, PLLC, Kent.

Where to use poinsettias: March a line of potted poinsettias up a stairway, (indoors only, they hate the cold) line up a few poinset-
Beyond the red poinsettia: Garden centers and nurseries offer new poinsettia varieties in many exotic shades so experiment with different colors. Go modern: Place a gold or yellow-leaved poinsettia inside a glass bowl – fill in the sides with shiny silver and gold ornaments to hide the pot. Go rustic: Place a pale
pink poinsettia inside a recycled basket or metal tin. Mulch with wine corks and pine cones to hide the rim of the pot. Go Sweet: Choose a duo-colored poinsettia with red and white or pink and white leaf bracts. Place inside a holiday serving bowl. Surround the pot with visions of peppermint drops and candy canes. How to kill your poinsettia plant after the holidays: Leave it in a cold car, place it on top of a warm appliance, never water, give it too much water or let it sit in drainage water. No need to feel guilty about dumping your potted poinsettia after the holidays. Part of the reason we appreciate holiday traditions like poinsettia plants is because we know the beauty is to be enjoyed for just a limited amount of time – a bright spot of living color to light up the longest nights of winter.
The work area is at Gary Grant Park along the Soos Creek Trail on the north side of Southeast 208th Street, at 137th Avenue Southeast, west of Lake Youngs. For more information, contact Mark Johnston: 253-639-3862 or markjtn@ earthlink.net.

Why you should want to get a poinsettia plant: A living plant is your best defense against the plastic commercialism and fake sentimentality of Christmas. Gift plants like poinsettias are calorie free, one size fits all, they can help clean the indoor air of pollutants, and you won’t have to store it away or cart it to the thrift store when the season is over. (I just add my poinsettia to the compost pile each spring – a great way to recycle the potting soil.)
THE GARDENER
Why you should give a poinsettia plant: A poinsettia says Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Tis the Season, Thanks for your business, thank you for hosting, and does not require wrapping paper, a trip to the mall, a gift receipt or ordering from a website. A blooming poinsettia is the quickest way to decorating a home for the holidays – a living plant that adds color and class without electricity, nails in the wall or needles on the floor.
tias on the mantel, display a single plant in a silver bowl on a dining room table, arrange a dozen poinsettias on risers to create a living tree form, place a tiny poinsettia in the guest bathroom, on the kitchen counter, in an office cubicle or beside the bed on a night stand. My favorite way to use poinsettias: Take a beaded bag or glittery purse and use the handle to hang it from a stairway post, mantel or even a sturdy branch on the Christmas tree. Line the fancy purse with a plastic bag, insert a potted poinsettia (a small one may fit best) and you’ll have a living ornament and a practical way to get some use from a party purse. Dive further into diva hood and drape your potted poinsettia with jewels from your own collection – a string of pearls draped over a red poinsettia is a decadent scene of shocking beauty. Go ahead and clip on those earrings or a dazzling brooch to really primp your potted poinsettia and get some use out of that real or costume jewelry. Marianne Binetti
The beginning of December is when you should purchase a poinsettia plant. The selection is early in December, the plants will be fresh from the greenhouse and you’ll have all month to enjoy the world’s most-loved holiday houseplant.

www.kentreporter.com < #6%(&5 GSPN QBHF > proposed $72 million a year general operating fund budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some council members have objections to portions of it but I expect it to pass.â&#x20AC;? The mayor and council worked to come up with new revenue packages in an effort to improve the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial standing after Moodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Investors Services downgraded the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bond rating in September for the second time this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is quite an accomplishment,â&#x20AC;? Higgins said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are paying down debt, repairing our financial foundation and diversifying our tax base. With a better foundation, we will not have to be so reactionary in the future.â&#x20AC;? t $BCMF VUJMJUZ UBY The 6 percent tax on cable television bills will raise about $1.3 million per year. That money will help pay for information technology staff as well as computer hardware and software. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a cable subscriber and wish it was something we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to do,â&#x20AC;? Higgins said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But cable television is somewhat of an optional expenditure. And a cable tax is something almost every other city in our area enacted a long time ago.â&#x20AC;? t 1FSNJU GFFT The budget includes higher permit fees for developers. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected to bring in as much as $1 million per year.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;The general fund subsidizes the fees to encourage development,â&#x20AC;? Higgins said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But with the budget weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in we believe we should reduce the subsidy. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reasonable to ask development to pay more of its way.â&#x20AC;? The city and developers split the permit costs 50/50. Under the new proposal, the developer will cover 75 percent of the costs and the city 25 percent. The city spends about $6.5 million per year to issue permits and make inspections, said Fred Satterstrom, planning services director. In 2012, the city will collect about $3.2 million in permit revenue, roughly half of what it spends. Satterstrom doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect the higher fees to steer developers away from Kent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The City Council was concerned about this issue and asked staff to research the permit fees charged by Kentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neighboring cities as well as cities the same size as Kent,â&#x20AC;? Satterstrom said in an email. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Based on this analysis, we found that when compared to these other cities, proposed fees would not be out-ofline. While some fees may increase slightly and others more significantly, Kent would still remain competitive with comparable jurisdictions when it comes to permit entitlements.â&#x20AC;? t *OUFSOBM VUJMJUZ UBY The internal utility tax is when the city taxes the revenue from its water,
sewer and storm drainage funds. The funds are known as enterprise funds because all or most of the costs are paid for by user fees. With the water and sewer funds in solid financial shape, the city plans to increase the 10 percent internal tax to 13 percent, said John Hodgson, city chief administrative officer. Two percent of that increase will raise about $1 million per year to help pay off city debt with a 10-year sunset clause on the increase. The other 1 percent increase will raise about $500,000 per year to bring up reserves in the general fund. The council prefers to have about 10 percent of the pervious yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget in a reserve fund and right now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at about 4 percent. The tax is expected to help the reserve fund get up to 10 percent in three years when that 1 percent increase will end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are in solid shape right now,â&#x20AC;? Hodgson said about the utility funds. Drainage, water and sewer fees already were set to increase next year even without the additional internal tax. Drainage rates will go up about 5 percent (down from a projected 15 percent increase that was to cover higher levee repair costs); water rates will increase by 3 percent as
part of a six-year plan the council passed three years ago; and sewer rates will jump 4 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We look at it as responsible rebuilding of our foundation with debt paid off and reserves back where they should be,â&#x20AC;? Higgins said of the internal utility tax increase. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will show Moodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and other bond rating agencies we are responsible in money management.â&#x20AC;? Higgins said many other cities levy internal utility taxes, some as high as 20 percent. Of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 percent internal utility tax, about 6 percent goes to the general operating fund, with a portion to streets and a youth fund. The council approved an increase last year to 10 percent from 6 percent with the additional 4 percent to go to the capital fund to pay for street and information technology projects. As far as other costcutting measures, council members discussed possibly closing the city pool at Kent-Meridian High or reducing the city reserve fund but lacked support to take those steps, Higgins said. They also talked about operating deficits at the city-owned ShoWare Center and Riverbend Golf Complex but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come up with any proposals to reduce those deficits.
Coconut Oil Superior for Absorption of Nutrients
Recently Remodeled
M E R I D I A N
In order for your body to absorb healthy fatsoluble nutrients in food, you have to combine them with some fat. Cooking oils are an excellent way to add fat to your diet; however, not all oils are created equal when it comes to nutrient absorption. Coconut oil is superior to other oils including olive oil in terms of nutrient absorption. This is because coconut oil is natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s richest source of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) versus polyunsaturated oils, which contains long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs). Other reasons to choose coconut oil are that MCFAs are easily digested, sent directly to your liver and are immediately converted to energy. They can stimulate your bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s metabolism, leading to weight loss. In addition, MCFAs improve insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance, and are rich in lauric acid, which promotes strengthening immunity.
