Kent Police cite 38, arrest 3 for fireworks violations BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com
Kent Police were kept plenty busy with their new fireworks emphasis patrols this Fourth of July. More than 50 officers were
assigned to fireworks patrols from July 1-5 and they handled 524 fireworks complaints called to 911, including 246 on July 4. Police staff crunched numbers on Tuesday and issued the following statistics:
• 3 arrests, including one felony arrest for an illegal explosive device • 38 infractions (tickets) issued for violations • 8 criminal citations • 9 warnings issued
• 15 fireworks seized cases • 105 pounds of fireworks confiscated • 13 minor fires caused In 2014, police issued two criminal citations, made no arrests and didn’t issue any infractions, which
is a $250 fine for illegally setting off fireworks. Officers tended in the past to simply issue warnings and didn’t have any emphasis patrols. [ more FIREWORKS page 5 ]

Theatre Battery’s production of ‘A Maze’ takes the stage BY HEIDI SANDERS hsanders@kentreporter.com
With hopes of bringing theater culture to Kent, Logan Ellis, a Kent-Meridian High School graduate, and several friends and classmates started a production company in 2011. Now in its fifth year, Theatre Battery is converting a storefront in Kent Station into theater space for this summer’s production of “A Maze.” Ellis, the production’s director, became interested in directing while he was involved in KentMeridian’s drama program. He graduated with a bachelor of arts degree in drama with a directing focus from Ithaca College in New York in 2011. While waiting for an artistic direction apprenticeship to begin in San Francisco the summer after finishing college, Ellis got together with fellow Kent-Meridian graduates Garren Moss and Tobias McCurry and Kentridge graduates Rebecca White and Gianna Gargiulo to establish Theatre Battery and put on their first production. “We had seven people who did the first show, which was over at Floform Countertops,” he said. “Since then every year we have come back to do it again, and

we have completely revamped the structure. As all of us have been working in different careers, some of us in theater, some of us not. We have all brought back our skills and our increased understanding of the world into what we are doing with Theatre Battery.” Ellis, 24, lives in San Francisco, where he works as a freelance director but returns to Kent each
summer to be involved with the theater’s efforts. This is the third year, Theatre Battery has put on its production at Kent Station. Ellis said he is grateful that Kent Station has donated the space. “What that really allows us to do is not only save money on rent … it allows us to spend our money on paying artists and creating more immersive experiences, and
that really is a massive reward,” he said. “Kent Station is unbelievably generous.” “A Maze” was selected from several plays Theatre Battery considered for this year’s performance, Ellis said. “The reading was followed by a two-hour long debate about the play and about the motivations of its characters and its overall message,” he said. “We realized because it created that debate and because it surprised our company members so thoroughly it had to be the play that we put on.” He said the production offers a compelling storyline and addresses many social issues. “The play begins with three extremely distinct storylines that are all thrown in together at the same time,” Ellis said. “It is a little bit confusing at first, but when you stick with it is gives you a massive reward in the middle of the play. As a result, in having these really distinct plotlines existing in the play we are able to talk about so much. We are talking about addiction, rehab, kidnapping, sexual abuse, abduction survival, being a celebrity, what it means to be an artist and what it means to fall in love with someone.” Ellis said Theatre Battery has developed a relationship with

Residents can put the salary increases for the Kent mayor and City Council to a citywide vote if they can gather enough signatures in the next few weeks. So far, nobody has submitted a petition to the city clerk’s office to put the proposed ordinance to a referen-
dum, according to City Clerk Ronald Moore. A petition must be filed by Aug. 2 and would require 8,361 signatures of registered voters in order to put the pay raises to a vote. That number is based on the state code that allows voters to sign a petition and requires 15 percent of voters registered on the day of the last general election.

Kent couple pleads guilty to travel trailer insurance scam
10,000 BICYCLISTS TO RIDE THROUGH KENT ON SATURDAY Drivers should take extra care and prepare for travel delays as the annual Group Health Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic (STP) rolls through Kent and Western Washington on Saturday. Organizers expect 10,000 cyclists to travel on state highways and local roads during the popular event. The state Department of Transportation asks drivers to share the road, keep a sharp eye and allow extra time for travel. A food stop is scheduled for riders at REI in Kent, 6750 S. 228th St., from 5:45 to 9:30 a.m.. REI is at the 24-mile mark of the 206-mile ride. Bicyclists will pedal along the West Valley Highway through Kent. The classic starts at 4:45 a.m. at the University of Washington and finishes at Holladay Park in Portland.

San Francisco-based Terreno Realty Corp., keeps buying more and more industrial property in the Kent Valley. Terreno, an acquirer, owner and operator of industrial real estate in six major coastal U.S. markets, purchased its sixth industrial property in five years in Kent. The company paid about $12.3 million, including the assumption of a mortgage loan with a principal balance of approximately $4.8 million, for four distribution buildings, according to a Terreno media release. The buildings cover about 138,000 square feet on nearly 7.6 acres from 22402 to 22446 72nd Ave. S. The buildings feature 50 dock-high and 18 grade-level loading positions, parking for 166 cars and is 94 percent leased to 13 tenants.

The insurance company denied the claim and referred the case to Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU). Kreidler’s SIU investigates insurance fraud and works with the state Attorney General’s Office and local prosecutors to prosecute criminal cases. SIU detectives are certified law-enforcement peace officers with authority to conduct criminal investigations, arrest suspects and submit cases to prosecutors for charges involving fraudulent activities against insurance companies.
of the house and one man tried to put out the fire with a garden hose. Paramedics treated that man at the scene for undisclosed injuries. There were no other injuries. A thermal column of smoke could be seen from a couple of blocks away as firefighters sped to the house. The first firefighters reported thick, dark smoke and flames from the back of the house. The heat of the fire made entry into the house extremely dangerous and crews used a defensive attack from the exterior
with a deck gun mounted on a fire engine. Once crews knocked down the flames, they entered the house with hose lines to extinguish the fire. Crews put out the fire in about 30 minutes. Investigators have yet to determine a cause of the fire but ruled out fireworks as a possible cause. No damage estimates were available. The American Red Cross assisted the residents with housing and other needs. Firefighters rescued a pet dog from the house. The dog wasn’t hurt.

hen intimate partner violence occurs, its impacts are felt throughout the family. Between three and four million children ages 3-17 are exposed to domestic violence every year in the United States. Studies demonstrate the effects of this exposure resulting in difficulties with a child’s emotional and behavioral functioning as well as in their cognitive capacities and attitudes. It also undermines a non-abusive parent’s relationship with their child, causing undue stress and weakened authority through the eyes of the child. Exposure to domestic violence occurs in many ways: witnessing violence acts and their aftermath, hearing arguments and fighting, or even sensing the tension and fear felt by the nonviolent parent. Through this process, children internalize unhealthy and often violent tendencies for conflict resolution and relationship-building. Boys who witnessed violence during their youth are more likely to abuse their female partners as teens and adults than are those who were raised in nonviolent homes. Better access to resources can provide families the information needed to reduce impacts of violence. Children and their parents need safe options and practical tips. Local domestic violence agencies, such as the Domestic Abuse Women’s Network (DAWN), can offer this support throughout Washington State. It’s never too early to start a conversation about healthy relationships. Reaching out to a domestic violence advocate can provide you with information such as: helpful tips, relationship red flags, and empowerment-based listening skills. DAWN’s services are free, confidential, and available to anyone looking to learn about intimate partner violence. A DAWN Children’s Domestic Violence Response Team advocate is also available to provide mental health and advocacy services to children who have experienced violence at home.

There were 21 students in their graduating class, June said. Ken was originally set to graduate in 1944, but joined the class of 1947 to finish high school after returning from serving three years in the Navy during World War II. The two began dating in high school and got married May 14, 1949. Ken and June lived and worked in Kent after graduating. The couple’s first apartment was on the corner of Railroad Avenue and Meeker Street, across from the train depot. “That took some getting used to the train coming by,� June said. Ken held a variety of jobs in Kent, including working as a delivery driver for Sugar Made Pie bakery. He spent a season fishing in Alaska in 1953 before beginning a sales career in Kent.

[ FIREWORKS from page 1 ] Because of so many complaints from residents after last year’s Fourth of July about illegal fireworks going off in their neighborhoods, city officials worked with the police department to come up with a plan to try to slow down the explosions. The City Council decided against banning personal use of legal fireworks in the city on July 4. The 246 fireworks complaint calls on July 4 compared to 145 calls last year as police encouraged residents to call 911 about fireworks. Calls also were up on other days this year, with 20 on July 1; 30 on July 2; 62 on July 3; and 109 on July 5. That compares to 19, 19, 41 and 52 on those dates in 2014. “I believe we got more calls because people were concerned due to the (dry) conditions,” Assistant Police Chief Derek Kammerzell said in an email. A number of the complaint calls turned out to be people legally setting off fireworks. “We received a high volume of firework complaint calls on July 4 when it was legal to discharge and
many reports of illegal fireworks that were in fact legal,” Kammerzell said. Officers found 48 other criminal infractions during their fireworks emphasis patrols. Despite the number of infractions issued, police had trouble finding the people setting off illegal fireworks even with the extra officers. “Although chronic hot spot locations are known, being there at the time of the violations is the challenge,” according to the staff report. “It is also challenging to pinpoint the actual origin of the violations.” Finding witnesses to the violations that would cooperate with prosecution also loomed as a challenge. Police had adequate staffing for the emphasis patrols as well as the city’s Fourth of July Splash event at Lake Meridian Park, according to the report. Officers cleared out all city parks at 10 o’clock each night to keep people from lighting off fireworks in them. The overtime costs for the emphasis patrols were about $12,400, according to the report. Several officers were reassigned

spring-loaded knife that also doubled as brass knuckles. Police discovered he had an assault warrant out of Des Moines. The man told officers he had a dispute with his former girlfriend as they rode in her car because another female would be picking him up later. He claimed his exgirlfriend had hit him in the neck. The couple had dated on and off for about five years and have a child.

Police arrested a man for thirddegree malicious mischief after he allegedly punctured the tires of a former girlfriend’s car at about 4:49 p.m. on June 19 at a parking lot in the 1300 block of West Meeker Street. A woman called 911 to report a dispute with her child’s father and that he had used a knife to cut the tires on her car, according to the police report. The man then fled the scene.

The man reportedly got in the face of a bouncer and bar patrons pulled the man away. When of-
from traffic patrols to fireworks patrols, which meant a decrease in normal traffic enforcement. A few residents wrote letters to the editor to the Kent Reporter this week with complaints about trying to get through on 911 to report illegal fireworks, with one caller spending as much as 12 minutes on hold. Another caller was told higher priority calls had to be handled first. The staff report indicated that 911 calls for other crimes on July 4-5 were up as well, including 90 priority 1 and 2 calls, including a shooting, stabbing, domestic violence calls, a residential burglary, a large biker party with outlaw motorcycle gangs present and DUI calls. Those calls took away officers from enforcing fireworks violations. Recommendations in the staff report for future Fourth of July patrols include mandating patrol officers to 12-hour shifts on July 4 to facilitate higher staffing numbers for enforcement; consider increasing the number of enforcement teams and assign them to hot spots; and consider use of plain clothes officers to assist with spotting violators.
[ TRANSPORTATION from page 1 ] work better,” said Fain, who serves as vice chair of the Senate Transportation Committee and represents Kent. “The Puget Sound population and economy continue to grow. More people and more jobs mean increased demands from drivers, transit riders, pedestrians and bicyclists.” South King County will see the long-awaited completion of State Routes 509 and 167, reducing congestion and dramatically improving the ability to move freight to both major ports from manufacturing centers. Much of the funding comes through an 11.9-cent increase in the state gas tax that would be phased in over two years. “An effective multi-modal transportation system is key for Kent residents to get where they need to go more efficiently, and is critical for our manufacturing corridor and local economy,” said Kent Mayor Suzette Cooke. “Having advocated for a transportation package we’re pleased to see the Legislature take this
ficers arrived, one of them tried to talk to the man, who replied, “I don’t know you.” The man told police he couldn’t go back to jail. When an officer asked him if he understood his rights, he said, “I don’t understand anything.”
Street racing bust Police arrested a man for investigation of reckless driving after he reportedly raced another car on June 21 in the 19000 block of 62nd Avenue South, a popular area on hot summer nights for street racing. An officer watched two cars line up and race before he was able to stop the driver in a white Mitsubishi, according to the police report. The man said to the officer, “My wife is going to kill me.” The man said he told his wife he was going out, “but she didn’t know I was going racing.” Police released the man’s vehicle to a male passenger in his car. The driver told police his car in stock form could cover one-quarter mile in 13 seconds but with its modifications he can cover that distance in 11 seconds.
step and appreciate Sen. Fain’s leadership by representing our priorities in Olympia.” Kent would also see the grade separation of South 228th Street over the Union Pacific railroad tracks at a cost of $15 million, significantly reducing area congestion due to increasing train traffic. Other congestion-relief projects in the area would include widening of Interstate 405 from Renton to Bellevue and upgrades to the interchange of Interstate 5 and State Route 18 in Federal Way. Both projects would decrease congestion and improve safety. Another critical investment includes $150 million to re-design and build the highly congested and dangerous interchange between Interstate 90 and State Route 18 in Snoqualmie, improving commute times and safety. “As we ask taxpayers to make a major investment in something that’s so important to Washington’s future, it’s essential to also ensure they’ll get better value for their tax dollars,” Fain said.

Bring B&O taxes into 21st century We live in Microsoftland. Hurray, now Amazon is in the ’hood with its huge footprint in the Kent Valley. And average Kent people enjoy and use today's technology throughout the day for all kinds of things to make life easier, simpler, happier, faster, better and even sometimes cheaper. Yet, our Kent mayor wants to pursue antiquated 20th century methods for hunting down B&O tax avoiders by hiring more employees on the city payroll to eyeball, drive around, knock on doors, canvas neighborhoods and run up the time clock at tax payers’ expense. What a bad and inefficient idea. What’s wrong with utilizing technology to enforce an unpopular law like Kent’s B&O? There are plenty of cost-

his short eight years as WSU president, he pushed higher education along faster than universities are accustomed to moving. He began by taking a page from former Gov. Gary Locke’s playbook. In 2003, Gov. Locke (D) turned the state’s budget process upside down by establishing the

COMMENTARY
?
Question of the week:
When the state’s duly elected auditor disappears while in office does anyone notice beyond the shadow of the Capitol dome? Doesn’t seem like it. It’s been two full months since Troy Xavier Kelley discharged his duties to others and cut himself off the public trough to focus on fighting federal criminal charges stemming from his past profession. The first-term Tacoma Democrat began a self-imposed unpaid exile at 1 p.m. May 4. An hour later his digital existence with the State Auditor’s Office had, to put it politely, been erased. No mug, no bio and almost no sign of his service. Most mentions of him are in the trove of documents agency officials delivered to investigators then put online for the world to read. Jan Jutte, the woman entrusted by Kelley to steer the ship in his absence, ordered the expunging and posting in one of her first acts. “The cloud was never over this office. It was always over him,” she said Tuesday. “I think I was just trying to give less opportunity for questions to be asked.” Since taking the helm, Jutte’s guided the vaunted agency to smoother waters under clearer skies. She said she’s not spoken with Kelley nor does his name come up in office conversations unless they involve an inquiring reporter. Meanwhile in the past two months, employees in the auditor’s office have issued hundreds of audits of cities, counties, school districts and other appendages of local government. There’s also been an intermittent whistleblower probe and a performance audit or two. On Tuesday, the executive team huddled for six hours to do what Jutte described as
“priorities of government.” Rather than cutting programs equally across the board, Locke and Republican lawmakers prioritized funding to the most vital programs. Locke learned that setting priorities is not easy, and it angers people whose programs are cut. Floyd learned a similar lesson soon after becoming president of Washington State University.
No help on fireworks calls Regarding July 4 excesses and the Kent City Council's oblivious handling of the issue: [ more LETTERS page 7 ]
After the Great Recession struck in 2008, state funding for higher education was eroding. No matter how hard the state’s university presidents lobbied the state legislature, the money simply was not there to fund all the programs the universities offered. Just as Gov. Locke had earlier identified spending priorities, Floyd believed universities needed to prioritize and focus on their core mission. Floyd took on that daunting task, which meant eliminating some [ more BRUNELL page 7 ]

www.kentreporter.com programs. It was not the easy path, but it made WSU stronger. It worked largely because of Floyd’s charisma and determination. As part of the state’s austerity program to deal with the recession, university presidents were asked to voluntarily take salary cuts. It was an unprecedented move, and not all university presidents complied, but Floyd was the first to do so, cutting his income by $100,000. Those two early Floyd initiatives set the tone and pace for Washington State University and the state’s higher education system. Floyd was not afraid of a fight, and none was more challenging than the new medical school in Spokane. The University of Washington felt that, since it already had the state’s only medical school, it was destined to run the new Spokane campus. He took on the UW leadership and won with guts, determination and hard work. With his passing, there is a welldeserved move to name WSU’s medical school after Dr. Elson Floyd. “Floyd always made much of WSU’s role as a land-grant university – not an elite institution, but a university for common people and common problems – with programs in agriculture, engineering and veterinary science,� the Seattle Times editorialized. “This was the people’s

[ LETTERS from page 6 ] The ridiculous position that they put our trusted officers into was shameful. When I called 911 about illegal fireworks I was at first laughed at as I held my phone out for the recipient of my call to hear for himself how intense the noise was, and then I spent nearly 12 minutes on hold. The eventual contact woman was professional and helpful to a limit. She needed to prioritize calls and mine didn’t qualify as an emergency, even though I had been advised by (a news article) my local weekend newspaper that calling 911 was the way to deal with issues related to fireworks violations during the Fourth of July holiday. – Doug Wakefield
Let’s ban the boom What genius decided not to ban fireworks in Kent? The last three hours on the Fourth of July sounded like a war zone with bombs all around my property. Calling 911 does no good. They can hear the explosions over the phone when you call, but are too busy to do anything except apologize. Let’s vote out the people who want to keep fireworks. – Marci Johnson
Fed up with fireworks My friends and neighbors in Kent are fed up with
the city of Kent for allowing fireworks. No amount of complaints have made a difference. Who is in their pocket? The destruction it creates – property damage, overtime for police and fire departments, and the stress on homeowners and their pets is insane. I think the best way to make an impact on the city is to retaliate by voting no on every initiative or measure the city puts on the ballot in the future. I will put out flyers on every door in the neighborhoods as possible. They won’t do what we want; we won’t do what they want. – Charlene Fischer
What’s up at Green River? I find myself wondering what is going on at Green River College. We read in the paper of the possibility of shutting down the auto and carpentry shops because enrollment is down for the moment. We also read of the instructor concerns and conflict with the union that happens to have leaders from the programs with potential shutdowns. All that has me thinking about the leadership change at the school and wondering what has changed in the vision of the future since a new president was hired. I am aware that several administrative positions have changed hands unexpectedly, and I wonder why. Community has been dropped from the name
because, I believe, of the move to being a four-year school. I do not object to a move to being a four-year school, but I would object to giving up the vision of the community college, one of supporting vocational education such as those programs mentioned above. I wonder if a vision change is what led to the departure of those administrators. At this point I think the board owes it to the Auburn, Kent and Enumclaw communities to explain what the vision now is for the school and to see if that is what those communities desire. I feel like big changes are taking place at the school, but they are sneaking up on the community, and that should not be. – Dan Shields
Diatribe of hate is harsh, offensive My agenda is not to defame the mayor and City Council. I believe they do a fine job of it on their own. Their actions or inactions speak louder than opinion letters in the Kent Reporter. Finally, a Kent citizen (Ms. St. Louis) has defended the mayor and City Council’s agendas and took the time to submit a letter to the Reporter. I was beginning to think the mayor and City Council supporters had left Kent? Since when is question-

ing our politician’s actions or inactions considered defamation? Since when are politicians immune from constructive criticism no matter how uncomfortable it may seem? Since when is censorship a good thing? My questions and concerns on the salary and compensation program are still unanswered and they probably will not be addressed by the current regime. It is rather disturbing how quickly the initiative was approved and implemented. It would be interesting to conduct a job approval poll for the mayor and City Council, my “guesstimate�, their approval numbers would be way south of 50 percent and not very pretty. With that being said, thank you Ms. St. Louis for sharing your views on my so-called diatribe of hate. I appreciate the fact that you took the time to write and take a stand.

university – he liked that,� said John Gardner, WSU vice president for advancement and CEO of the Washington State University Foundation. “He never wore it on his sleeve, but giving voice to those that have no voice – that was part and parcel of who he was.� Floyd, whose family roots are in the south, became a Cougar and turned down several offers, including the top job at his alma mater, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Floyd loved students and if he knew of a student who was ill or having a hard time, he would step in to help – not with the cameras rolling for a news clip – but as a genuinely caring leader and friend. Mike Bernard, a WSU grad, small business owner and lifelong Cougar who rose to become Association of Washington Business Board chair, worked with Floyd on many WSU projects. “Elson Floyd just loved his job and loved the students,� Bernard recalled. “He was a deep-hearted guy with a disarming smile.� Being WSU president was not just a job to Elson Floyd, it was a way of life. That’s a tough act to follow.

Our mayor must go It’s time for a new mayor. Our current elected official is too busy to be bothered with the little people of Kent. I send one email, and guess what I get? No response. She’s not too busy to appoint an “independent committee� to vote in favor
of her $35,000 pay increase, nor is she too busy to accept a $20,000 payout for unused vacation. Whatever happened to use it or lose it? Oh, I guess that’s just something us normal people have to deal with. Mayor Cooke, I certainly did not vote you into office, and I will be more than happy to see you leave.

to be a resident of this fine city at times. I don’t know why on Earth you think you deserve a pay raise, but you are delusional. You don’t even deserve your current salary.

The effort that started after Kelley’s election in 2012 amounts to mapping a course for the agency to follow in the coming two to four years. “In 18 months there is going to be a new person, I know that. It doesn’t mean they can’t alter it,” she said. “This is a continuation of what we were doing before the cloud appeared. I think it is an indication that we are moving
forward.” She’s commanded with steady hand, unbending humility and pretty much without a compass. You don’t need one when you’ve worked at the place 30 years and tackled tasks in about every division of the agency. “I’m not an unknown,” she said. “I think that helps make this transition out from under the cloud.” Since 1985, she’s had three elected bosses, all Democrats.
Now she’s the boss albeit acting and unelected. She is the first woman and first certified public accountant to occupy the auditor’s chair. She’ll be in it until Kelley – whose tribulations will henceforth be known as “The Cloud” – returns or, more likely, a successor is elected in November 2016. That won’t be Jutte. She’s not running, though some want her to do so. She intended to retire until the accumulation of political
cumulus threatened the environs she loved. She changed her plans. “On a day-to-day basis, it is not an issue,” she said. “We are doing audits. That’s who we are. We are moving on.” That’s what she wants people under the Capitol dome and throughout the state to notice. Political reporter Jerry Cornfield’s blog, The Petri Dish, is at www.heraldnet.com.

RESIDENTS have an opportunity to influence the city of Kent’s parks system for years to come. The city invites the community to share their priorities for Kent’s parks system via an online survey at MyKentParks.com. Every six years, the city is required by the state to update its Park and Open Space Plan, which covers all facilities and programs available for parks and recreation in Kent, as well as community centers, greenways and open space. The input from the surveys will be used to help make recommendations for the park system for the next several years.

More than 40 people attended a county-hosted a public meeting in June about the levee project and the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal received a positive response, Watling said. He added the community remains engaged to help preserve public access along the levee with the park and trail to keep the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recreational opportunities in that area of the river even with an improved and larger levee. County officials in the spring announced they would delay any work to repair the Lower Russell Road levee by a year to 2017 because a preferred project plan has yet to be chosen. The county said in its Lower Russell Road levee fact sheet that the existing system doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet engineering design standards, is difficult and costly to maintain, has over-steepened banks, deteriorating rock protection and slumping riverbank slopes. With a new levee set back from the river, the project will provide greater flood storage as well as improve habitat for fish and wildlife.

What is Probate? Probate is the legal process that determines how a deceased personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assets will be distributed. The Superior Court has jurisdiction to approve the decedentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Will, and to appoint the person who has the responsibility to administer the estate. In the process, the rights of the estateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beneficiaries, as well as the decedentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creditors and taxing authorities are protected. The financial aspects of the decedentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life are â&#x20AC;&#x153;wrapped upâ&#x20AC;? and the assets are distributed in accordance with the decedentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes. Protect your right to distribute your estate as you intend in a cost-effective manner. I have more than 40 years of experience in estate planning and will handle your case personally.

When Bob Miller of Kent became legally blind about 20 years ago, he had to give up a lot, including playing sports. The 63-year-old retired Boeing employee describes himself as active, and enjoyed playing baseball, football, hiking, skiing, sailing and riding motorcycles, before gradually losing his sight at the age of 40. Miller said although giving up sports was hard, it was “not as hard as giving up driving.” Miller has found ways to stay active. He crosscountry skis and spends a lot of time working out at the gym. He recently began playing beep baseball, a modified version of America’s pastime. “If I could see, I’d be playing softball, but it (beep baseball) is the only thing I can do …,” he said. “It is another venue to use my physical abilities.” Miller said he heard about beep baseball a while ago but there was no team in the area. This year, he found out about the Seattle South King Sluggers beep
Bob Miller gets ready to swing at a pitch during a beep baseball practice. Miller is legally blind. HEIDI SANDERS, Kent Reporter baseball team, which is in its third season. Kevin Daniel, the Sluggers’ coach and program organizer, said the team, which is a part of the National Beep Baseball Association, started with three players in 2013 and now has 14. There are 30 teams in the National Beep Baseball Association. In addition, to the Sluggers, Washington state has a team in Spokane and a newly formed team in Tacoma.
The Sluggers are a coed team open to players ages 16 and older. Each beep baseball team consists of nine players - six who are legally or partially blind and three sighted players, who serve as the pitcher, catcher and spotter. All the blind players wear blindfolds so no one has an advantage, regardless if they have limited sight or are completely blind. The spotter acts as the eyes of the defense letting the players know who has
the best chance of getting the ball. The spotter is only allowed to call out one command per play. Ben Mariano, 50, of Kent is in his second season as the Sluggers’ pitcher. His friends and co-workers at Lighthouse for the Blind in Seattle encouraged him to join the team. “I didn’t know the rules, how to play,” he said. Mariano played baseball when he was younger but said beep baseball is a different ballgame. Unlike traditional baseball, where a pitcher wants to get the opposing batter out, a beep baseball pitcher throws the oversized ball to his or her own teammates. “My job is to get my teammates to hit the ball,” Mariano said. “It’s all teamwork.” The pitcher’s mound is 21.5 feet from home plate, where the batter stands. Before throwing out a pitch, the pitcher calls out a cadence: ball, ready, pitch. The batter knows to swing the bat when they hear “pitch.” The ball also emits a consistent beeping noise, so batters can hear the ball as it approaches. Batters are allowed four
strikes before they are called out. They can also take one pass, which allows them not to swing and listen to the ball. If a batter hits the ball, one of two bases - located at first and third base - begins buzzing and the batter runs toward the base. If the player touches the base before a defensive player gets the ball, they score a run. “It is a lot of fun when the batters hit the ball and you see them running,” Mariano said. Defensive players feel around for the ball and are allowed to communicate with each other. If a player catches the ball in the air, it retires the side, which is a rare occurrence, Daniel said. The game ends after six innings. Mariano said Miller is a good batter. “First time he came to practice the first swing he hit the ball to me,” Mariano said. “It hit me in the bicep.” “I really crushed the ball,” Miller said of his first at bat. “I knew I caught hold of something.” Miller said he prefers hitting the ball to fielding, but [ more BASEBALL page 16 ]

[ BASEBALL from page 15 ] would like to improve his defense. “Zeroing in on it (the ball) is really a tough thing,” he said. “You get close but that doesn’t cut it.” Miller said he plans to continue to play beep baseball. “It’s just an enjoyable pursuit,” he said.

Plenty to choose from with heavenly hydrangeas
Big leaf hydrangeas: hydrangea macrophylla This is the traditional hydrangea with mop head flowers that usually bloom blue or purple in the naturally acid soil of Western Washington. You can change the flower color from blue to pink by adding lime around the roots in early spring. Most big leaf hydrangeas flower on two year old wood so if you prune each year you’ll be cutting off the future flowers. An exception is the new “Endless Summer” hydrangeas that flower on old and new wood. There are also some compact varieties perfect for pots like the two-foot tall “Pia” and “Pink Elf.” If you want thick, glossy leaves and vivid, rich colors look for the German hydrangeas in the “Cityline” series: Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Rio and others have been bred for superior colors, some with bi-colored petals. Big leaf hydrangeas also include the lacecap hydrangeas with center flower panicles that stay as tight buds giving the blooms a more delicate look. “Twist and Shout” is a lacecap hydrangea that flowers on both old and new wood. Growing tip: Big leaf hydrangeas do best with morning sun and afternoon
shade and the shallow roots need a bark mulch to keep them cool.
THE GARDENER
Panicle hydrangeas: hydrangea paniculata Your grandmother may have called these big blooming shrubs her “pee gee” hydrangeas, but there are now so many new and cold hardy panicle hydrangeas available that grandma like the rest of us would have a hard time choosing just one variety. The good news is that the panicle hydrangeas will take full sun and are easier than ever to grow in our climate. Flowers grow in pointed or cone shaped clusters but instead of blue, they start out creamy white and then turn pink and peach as summer turns into fall. Panicle hydrangeas can be pruned into small trees or purchased as compact dwarf plants to grow in large pots or near the house as a long blooming foundation plant. “Pinky Winky” has enormous blooms that progress from white to bright pink, “Bobo” is a white compact dwarf at four-feet tall and “Quick Fire” has pointed blooms that open pure white then fades to a rich red. Growing Tip: Give panicle hydrangeas at least six hours of sun a day and prune in early spring when you see the forsythia in bloom. I learned the hard way that if you prune a panicle hydrangea in April or May, you’ll have a summer with foliage but no flowers. Keep the soil moist to lengthen the bloom time. In my garden the pee gee hydrangeas are in bloom from August until October. Marianne Binetti
The middle of July is when hydrangeas usually start to bloom in Western Washington. But this summer the big, ball blooms of hydrangeas were showing color months ahead of schedule and many local gardeners had bushels of hydrangea blooms by the beginning of June. Give credit to the mild winter weather and start celebrating the summer of 2015 as the heavenly year of the happy hydrangea. This is also the time of year to visit local nurseries and broaden your horizons when it comes to growing hydrangeas. There are a lot more hydrangea varieties to choose from than the blue balls that thrive in the shade. Hydrangeas that stay pink or white, climb trees, like full sun and turn colors in the fall are all waiting for adoption this month.
Smooth hydrangeas: hydrangea arborescenes The leaves may be smaller but the flowers are bigger on these tough, more cold hardy hydrangeas and new varieties have strong stems that hold the huge balls of blooms upright. “Annabelle” is the classic smooth hydrangea but the aptly named “Incrediball’ has even larger creamy white balls of blooms that can be 12 inches across – and the flowers are held up on strong stems that

won’t flop. If you crave more color, there is a pink “Incrediball Blush,” and to garden for a cause look for the all pink “Invincibell Spirit” as one dollar from the sale of each hydrangea plant will go to breast cancer research. Invincibell Spirit makes a great gift plant for a patient battling breast cancer. Growing tip: The smooth hydrangeas are rock solid when it comes to cold weather so these can handle an exposed site in full sun. Harvest the blooms all summer and into the fall as this form of summer pruning will help to shape the plant. Don’t try to grow the smooth hydrangeas in the shade – you’ll be disappointed at the lack of blooms. More hydrangeas This one is grown for its foliage and the creamy white blooms are just a bonus. Large, lobed and deeply ridged leaves turn brilliant red in the autumn. Oakleaf hydrangeas thrives in sun or part shade but for fall color this hydrangea needs at least half a day of sun. Climbing hydrangea: hydrangea petiolaris White, lacecap-style blooms poke through the foliage of this climbing hydrangea but be warned that this vine clings with its own suction cup attachments which can ruin the finish of a painted house. Let it grow up a tree or over a shed or provide a trellis or gazebo that will never need painting. Climbing hydrangeas need half a day of sun and are slow to get started so you may have to wait years to enjoy the first summer of blooms. But then watch out as the climbing hydrangea can scale the tallest trees. For more information, visit www.binettigarden.com.
