Kent residents could see over the next couple of years pedestrian improvements along 132nd Avenue Southeast, a new swimming and fishing dock at Lake Meridian Park and a new synthetic turf field at Hogan Park at Russell Road. Those are three of numerous capital improvement projects proposed by Mayor Suzette Cooke as part of her 2015-16 mid-biennium city budget adjustments. Now the City

Someone shot and killed a 23-year-old Kent man on Sept. 30 in the Target store parking lot on the East Hill. A dispute may have led to the deadly shooting outside the store at 26301 104th Ave. SE, Kent Police said. As of Tuesday, the suspect or suspects remained at large. The victim was found shot and unresponsive inside his vehicle, police said. CPR was initiated, but the victim succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. As of Tuesday, the King County Medical Examiner’s Office had not yet released the name of the 23-year-old victim. According to witnesses, several shots were fired in the parking lot around 7 p.m. Shoppers scrambled to stay inside the store. An early investigation indicates that there was an altercation between the [ more SHOOTING page 4 ]
Council must decide over the next several weeks whether to approve the projects along with the mayor’s proposal about how to pay for them. A reimbursement to the city’s street fund of about $2.3 million, left over from earlier special assessments (including local improvement districts), would fund six street projects in 2016. The city would spend about $1.2 million for pedestrian improvements along 132nd Avenue Southeast from about [ more PARKS page 5 ]

A dog, punched last month by its owner at a Kent bus stop, has recovered and remains in the Regional Animal Services of King County shelter in Kent. Reynaldo Miramontes Pajarito, the owner of the dog, will face a second-degree animal cruelty charge on Oct.
23 in Kent Municipal Court after city prosecutors filed the charge on Oct. 2., according to Tami Perdue, city chief prosecuting attorney, and court officials. The case is in municipal court rather than King County Superior Court because it is a gross misdemeanor and not a felony. “The crime is punishable [ more DOG page 5 ]

Man pleads not guilty to downtown shooting death BY STEVE HUNTER
shunter@kentreporter.com
A 37-year-old Kent man pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in connection with the shooting of a 42-year-old Kent man on Sept. 10 near downtown. Matthew C. Chancellor entered the plea on Oct. 1 in King County Superior Court at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent.
Chancellor remains in custody at the county jail with bail set at $500,000. Chancellor allegedly chased James Knowlton and shot him once in the chest as he sat in his car along East Saar Street just west of Central Avenue South. Knowlton died at the scene. During an interview with detectives, Chancellor said Knowlton had disrespected Chancellor’s
mother. A friend of the two men told police he thought the dispute had to do with Knowlton owing a drug debt of $50 to Chancellor. Chancellor, who is unable to legally possess a firearm due to his criminal history, is also charged with first-degree unlawful possession of a firearm. According to court documents, his criminal record includes felony convictions for second-degree

CALIFORNIA FIRM TO BUILD WAREHOUSE The southwest corner of South 212th Street and West Valley Highway in Kent won’t be vacant much longer as crews put up a 63,546-square-foot warehouse. California-based Panattoni Development, with offices in Seattle, is building the warehouse on the 3.2 acre corner lot at 21214 66th Ave. S., part of the Aldarra Corporate Park. The city hearing examiner approved last month a variance request by Panattoni to reduce a 40-foot side-yard setback to 15 feet. The developer wanted the variance because of the odd shape of the property made it difficult to design a building without the shorter setback. Panattoni will set back the warehouse from the curb of West Valley Highway far enough to preserve the city of Kent sign on the property and will enhance the sign with landscaping behind it.

CELEBRITY TRUCK Kent’s Mike Somerville holds his granddaughter, Anna Christensen, 2, in front of the mighty Optimus Prime Western Star 5700 XE truck last week. The truck, used in the 2014 summer film, “Transformers: Age of Extinction”, is touring the Pacific Northwest, with a stop at Auburn’s Truck Stop North. Optimus is a beast – a larger, Western Star truck with a flashy aerodynamic design – powered by a 16-litre Detroit diesel engine that produces 600 horsepower. It stands 8½ feet wide and stretches about 35 feet in length. The truck will be on display until Oct. 15 at the lot, 2201 Auburn Way N. The public can view the truck from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays. MARK KLAAS, Kent Reporter
A woman told Auburn Police she was using a bathroom stall at Green River College on Oct. 1 when a hand attached to someone in the next stall reached under the divider – gripping a cellphone with its recording function on. Police later arrested Anthony Lee Smith, a 37-year-old Kent man, for investigation of voyeurism and booked him into the SCORE jail, where he remains on $7,500 bail. The King County Prosecutor formally charged Smith Monday afternoon. His arraignment is at 9 a.m., Oct. 19 in Courtroom GA at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. Here is what happened, according to the Auburn Police Department’s Certification for Determination of Probable Cause: At about noon, a woman called 911 to report that five minutes earlier a male had been in the bathroom taking pictures. Soon after that report, a school security officer notified 911 that he was detaining a man for taking pictures in a women’s restroom, but that the man was not being cooperative. Auburn Police responded to the school about noon and arrested the man. According to the report, Smith told detectives he’d entered the bathroom and sat in a stall for about two minutes before taking out his cellphone and reaching under the stall divider – however, he said, he had never hit the record button.

The program is currently housed in a 4,420-squarefoot facility next to the district’s bus garage near Kent-Meridian High School. The building, which was built in 1951, was the district’s transportation office before being converted to the TOP building about 10 years ago. “The building is small and very old,� Long said. The additional space in the new facility will allow the program to expand. The program currently serves 44 students and has four certified teachers and 13 paraprofessionals. The school board unanimously approved the budget for the new building
at its Sept. 23 meeting. “I’m so excited we are going to be able to serve more students that need this program,� board member Agda Burchard said. Superintendent Calvin Watts told the board the district is exploring how the program could be expanded and the board will be given an update once the new building is closer to completion. The new building will be funded by the sale of district properties. ‘There are a number of sites for sale,� Long said. The old facility will be demolished and paved over to be used as additional parking for buses. “We are very short on bus parking right now,� Long said.
May 2, 1939 - September 23, 2015 Inspiring father, beloved husband, proud veteran, renowned entrepreneur, and man of faith, Jack Omar Lynch Jr. passed from this Earth at the age of 76. Jack was born and raised in Seattle, where he graduated from the Lakeside School, attended Stanford University and graduated from the University of Washington in 1961. After graduation, he served until 1963 as an officer in the US Navy, primarily on the destroyer escort USS Finch, in the South Pacific theatre. After his service, Jack worked for his father at Lynch Furniture Manufacturing (opened in 1937) until assuming control of the company upon his father’s death in 1969. By the mid-1970’s, Lynch Furniture had grown to the largest furniture company on the West coast, enabling his election to the Young President’s Organization. Under his leadership the company developed new product lines, leveraged computers to drive productivity (unique for the early 1970s), and later secured production partnerships with both Ther-A-Pedic and Simmons USA to manufacture mattresses and hide-abeds. Jack also served several years with Kent Rotary and other charitable endeavors. Late in his career, Jack became one of the first West coast factory-direct furniture stores with “Lynch’s Sofa Factory,â€? which he ran until his semiretirement in 1993. Jack also served as President of Lynch Land Company, until his illness in 2012 forced him to retire. A lifetime sailor, Jack was never able to stray too far from the sea, ultimately living in Gig Harbor so he could spend time on his sailboat and walk the docks. He was also an original season ticket holder for the Mariners and Seahawks, and could be found at Husky stadium on Fall Saturdays over six decades. His silly sense of humor and his dry wit conspired to keep his family, especially his grandchildren, on their toes. Those who knew Jack well described him as a kind, smart, and compassionate man, with a long history of helping those in need. Jack leaves behind his adored and devoted wife Sharon of 33 years; their son Kevin; their daughter Kelly and her fiancĂŠ Miguel Rodas; his daughter Shaunda, her husband Chad Schmidt, and their sons Hunter and Marshall; and his son Jack (III), his wife Stacey and their daughters Faith, Ashlyn, and Keira. He is also survived by his older sisters: Susannah Johnson, Janet Lynch, and Patricia Baer. Memorial services will be held on Sunday October 18th at 12:30pm, located at St. John’s Episcopal Church. A reception will follow at Canterwood Golf Club in Gig Harbor. In lieu of flowers, the family invites you to contribute to the Alzheimer’s Association Washington State Chapter (http:// www.alz.org/alzwa and select donate). Please sign Jack’s guest book at www.havenrest.com with favorite memories and condolences for the family.

Let’s play it safe, ban fireworks The residents of Kent will soon cast an advisory vote on whether to ban fireworks. After years of increasing incidents of property damage and loss, increasing 911 calls that significantly stretch our emergency services, and increasingly harmful impact on lives, we support a ban. While our family has enjoyed fireworks in years past, we feel that it is no longer safe or sane in neighborhoods. This past Fourth of July was case in point. In the midst of drought and high fire danger, we decided to forego a gathering with family and friends and instead stayed home with hoses nearby. We sat on our porch watching displays on nearby streets that rivaled professional fireworks shows. Because we often find fireworks debris on our lawn and

“Are your kids safe at school?”
Chief Ken Thomas
?
Question of the week:
It’s been a busy summer for the police department. Recent media coverage of a high-profile case where an innocent child lost their life can make one question the level of safety in Kent. While horribly tragic, it was an isolated incident. I can tell you this … Kent is a safe city, and the statistics back it up. A lot of our work at the police department is driven by data. In 2007, we implemented an Intelligence Led Policing (ILP) strategy and have been refining it since. Utilized successfully by police departments all across the country, the basic idea of ILP is to deploy police resources to areas that will give us the highest likelihood of success in combating crime. We start by reviewing calls for service, crime reports, resident complaints and intelligence information on a weekly basis. Using this data, we deploy our officers and detectives to these “hot spots” and focus on “high impact offenders.” This ILP strategy works so well because it’s a known fact that a relatively small number of people are responsible for committing the majority of crimes. I am proud of our police department and happy to report that our ILP efforts have been extremely successful. We work very hard to keep our community safe and ensure a high quality of life for those who make Kent their home. You don’t have to take my word for it; crime rates back it up. Crime rates are obtained by taking the number and type of crimes reported over a period of time; dividing that number by the population of the jurisdiction, and multiplying it by 1,000. The result is the number of each type of crime that occurred per 1,000 population – the crime rate. Since ILP was implemented, Kent’s crime rates have dramatically reduced. In fact, Kent has some of the lowest crime rates among the cities of Auburn, Des Moines, Federal Way, Renton, Seattle and Tacoma. I invite readers
tioners and other experts to define a strategic set of investments in best and promising practices needed to ensure all of our children have the best start in life and succeed in their journey to adulthood.” The King County Council agreed and by a robust 8-1 vote (July 22) placed Best Starts For Kids on the Nov. 3 general election ballot.

cents per $1,000 assessed property valuation will generate $65.4 million per year, costing the average King County homeowner about $56 per year. It is worth noting the 2016 King County budget provides less than $2 million for “all” human services funding across all ages and services, while 75 percent of the budget is spent on criminal justice expenses. Recognizing that funding level and the $63 million Best Starts will generate each year, “all” of it [ more OUR TURN page 7 ]

www.kentreporter.com to verify this information at the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs website at WASPC.org. Violent crime and safety is something that many residents are concerned about for themselves and their families. A review of the data for aggravated assault shows Kent’s crime rate in 2014 was 1.11 per 1,000 people for a city of more than 120,000. Compared to the crime rate in 2006 (when the population was 86,607), the number was 3.04. The aggravated assault rate in 2014 was roughly one-third of what is was in 2006, with a 63 percent reduction. And, comparing this crime rate with other cities in the region, Kent’s rate is the lowest. In fact, it is 78 percent less than the highest crime rate among
compared cities. A review of the numbers for the first six months of 2015 shows the same trend, with Kent’s crime rate for aggravated assaults 21 percent lower than those in the first half of 2014. Likewise, a review of the crime rates for robbery shows that Kent is on the lower end of the compared jurisdictions. In 2014, Kent had the second lowest robbery crime rate at 1.32. The highest crime rate of the cities used for comparison was 2.54, meaning Kent’s crime rate was 48 percent lower than the highest rate among compared cities. In 2006, the robbery crime rate in Kent was 2.80. Kent’s 2014 crime rate for robbery was nearly 53 percent lower than it was in 2006. And, the numbers for the half of this year are trending lower than those in 2014, with an
is that crime is far below what it was before ILP was implemented, and is among the lowest in the region. Unless one associates with those who break the law, Kent is safe for most residents. This is good news, not only for those who live and work here, but for those families and/or businesses looking to locate here. People don’t need to fear for their safety while out of their homes or out on a walk in the evening. Aggressively fighting crime and keeping our community safe is not something that can effectively be done by the police alone. In many ways, the public-at-large plays a part in how safe the community is. It is through great partnerships like Block and Business Watch, and events such as National Night Out where our Community
11 percent reduction. And a quality-of-life crime that can have a significant impact on our community is burglaries. A review shows Kent’s crime rate during the first half of 2015 at 1.82, with the highest city being at 3.56 residential burglaries per thousand residents. That’s nearly 49 percent higher than Kent’s crime rate. These numbers are not intended to give the impression that Kent is crime free, or that our officers are not kept busy on a daily and weekly basis. The periodic public safety reports I present at City Council meetings include the many incidents that take up our police officers’ time for response, investigation and follow-up. While we are busy, what I hope is apparent to readers after seeing our crime rates,
Education Unit educates residents on how to prevent crime and report anything suspicious. All of these efforts lead to a safer community with a higher quality of life for our residents.

for kids, one can easily begin to realize the scope and scale of this proposal, giving us a real chance to significantly reduce those criminal justice costs in the future by investing in a best start for our kids. Proposition 1 calls for: 50 percent of the levy funds being invested in preschool age children and families (readying them for school); 35 percent being invested in strategies focused on children and youth age 5 through 24 (sustaining them in school); and 9 percent supporting communities in building their own capacity to create positive change (“place matters” to a child’s and family’s success in school and life). Prop 1 also would support evaluation, data collection and improving the delivery of services and programs for children and youth; youth and family homelessness prevention; initial levy collections; and
prior to completion of an implementation planning process, it would be used to create a family and youth homelessness prevention initiative modeled on a successful pilot implemented by organizations serving survivors of domestic violence. Once Proposition 1 is approved by voters, an implementation planning process involving communities and interested individuals throughout King County will begin and an advisory and oversight board will help ensure that the strategies are implemented in a manner that is appropriate for all cultural and ethnic groups. The distribution of funds will be equitably based on need throughout the county and each child and their caregivers will receive the tools and level of support they need.

After falling out of the first round of the Class 4A state high school girls soccer playoffs the past four years, Kentridge hopes to win its first state title this season. “I think they have had what is takes for the last couple years,” fifth-year coach Sherri Rolfs said. “They are a very determined group of girls. We have the talent we need. I will be very disappointed if we don’t move on.” Last year, the Chargers lost to Gig Harbor in the state tournament. “Just making the Sweet 16 is a big accomplishment,” Rolfs said. “It is nice to move on, so we are hoping we have a little bit of luck and just maybe more experience so we don’t panic when things aren’t going right or when something bad happens.”
The Kentridge girls soccer team hopes to chase down a third consecutive SPSL North title and another Class 4A state playoff berth this season. HEIDI SANDERS, Kent Reporter The team hopes this will be the year it can breakthrough. “I know that when we get to this point it is like a brick wall and is something that we are just trying to knock down and get over,” senior forward Peyton Chick said. “It is like when you a run marathon and have the

Wells went to Kent-Meridian from 2004-07. “It was very important for them, and definitely very emotional,” Wells said. Wells said having an experienced team this year helped end the winning drought.
The team’s motto is “Strong alone. Unstoppable together.” “I think that really works because when we do all show up and want to play as a team together we can connect the ball from anywhere on the field,” senior defender Maya Gutierrez said of the motto. Junior defender Grace Klinkenberg agreed. “Everyone individually are amazing players so when we show up and play as a team we are unstoppable,” Klinkenberg said. “We have the right chemistry.” Rolfs said the one of the team’s strengths is its depth. “We have a handful of girls who can score goals at anytime so our scoring is not just dominated by one player,” she said. “If a team chooses to mark a player we have other weapons in our arsenal.

who have played soccer together since they were young, and most of the players crossing paths at sometime during their club careers. “It is such as an amazing connection,” Chick said. “You don’t realize how connected you are to someone until you show up to high school soccer and you are like ‘Oh, I played against
you. I played with you.’” Rolfs said Kentridge has strong junior varsity and C teams, but it might be a couple of years before those players are able to move up to the varsity level. The varsity team has four seniors, 13 juniors and one freshman. “It might be frustrating for those (JV and C team) players because not a lot is
more confidence.” Wells said that confidence extended beyond last month’s win. “They just kind of have an edge now to them,” he said of his players. “They didn’t fully understand what winning was like and didn’t always have that competitive drive. They want to win and they want to do well.”
Wells said the team hopes to win a league match before the season is done. As of Wednesday, the Royals were 0-6 in South Puget Sound League 4A play. “We have played a lot of the top teams in the region, which is always tough for us,” Wells said. He said unlike many of the teams in the league, most of
Kent-Meridian’s players don’t play club soccer in the off season and haven’t grown up playing soccer. “We just try to compete and try to keep it close,” Wells said. The Royals last won a league match in 2002 when they finished 2-13-1 in SPSL play. The team ended a nineyear loosing streak with a
tie in 2012.

Tacoma Stars add former Sounder Zakuani to coaching staff FOR THE REPORTER
The Tacoma Stars have hired Steve Zakuani as the club’s assistant coach for the 2015-16 Major Arena Soccer League season. “Adding Steve to our coaching staff is incredible for the young players looking to work their way up the professional playing ladder,” said Darren Sawatzky, Stars head coach and general manager. “He brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience from the highest level you only gain by playing there. Considering the adversity he has faced, I can think of no better person to help young players grow as men and young professionals.” The Stars season begins on Oct. 24 with a road contest against the Dallas Sidekicks and will feature 10 home games played at
the ShoWare Center in Kent. Zakuani, 27, has established himself as a fundamental part of the sports world in the Pacific Northwest since being drafted by the Seattle Sounders as the first pick in the 2009 Major League Soccer SuperDraft. “I’m excited to continue my involvement with soccer in this region,” Zakuani said. “Working with young players is a huge passion of mine and this is a great chance for me to learn from Darren in a professional environment as I try to give back to a sport that gave me so much.” After retiring from professional soccer in October 2014, Zakuani decided to pursue his career in coaching. Joining the Stars provides Zakuani with the opportunity to learn under Sawatzky, who established and ran the Sounders FC Academy from 2008-14. “As someone who wants to one day work with young players on a day-to-day basis, this is a great opportunity for me to start learning some valuable lessons in a great setting,” Zakuani said.

buddies, who can’t keep to a budget, want more taxes from property owners. Let’s review. January 2015, the good citizens of Kent got a whopping 18 percent tax hike for garbage pickup. Yikes. Then Olympia hikes a 7-cents-per-gallon tax on gasoline, diesel and transportation fuels. Ouch. Guess the unpopular B&O tax on our business neighbors still isn’t enough for City Hall. Let’s not forget all those “buried”
At Kentwood 55, Tahoma 30: After losing the first game of the season, the Kentwood Conquerors have won their last four games,
including a win over Tahoma last Friday at French Field. The Bears led the league with an undefeated record entering the game. Tahoma took a 14-0 lead before Kentwood rallied to tie the game at 14-14 in the first quarter. Junior running back Chavez Kalua-Fuimaono scored four touchdowns for Kentwood and rushed for 238 yards on 34 carries. Senior quarterback Brian Campbell passed for 191 yards and two touchdowns for the Conks. Kentwood played Federal Way on Thursday in an out-of-division game. Tahoma and KentMeridian play at 7 p.m. on Friday at Tahoma as the Royals attempt to stay undefeated in league.
taxes on those line items on phone, cable, water, light and other utilities bills on the last page. Ding, ding, ding. Or is it ca-ching, caching, ca-ching? Depends on where you’re sitting, in the peanut gallery or at head of the table. There really should be a 12-step program for politicians who are shopaholics and blow out budgets expecting the little guys to come across time after time. Hey, renters, if this property tax gets muscled through, your rents get jacked, too.
The late Senator and Democratic Majority Speaker Thomas S Foley said, “If you don’t drink, smoke, or drive a car, you’re a tax evader.” I’d like to amend that according to Major Cooke’s taxation philosophy. “If you don’t drink, smoke, drive or live and work in Kent, then you’re a tax evader.” Mayor Cooke, live within your means. I do. Just say no, no to more taxes. Just say no. – Joy Etienne

THE GARDENER
The second week of October is a good time to search out and destroy newly laid slug eggs, especially while planting bulbs or harvesting from the vegetable garden. The eggs will look like tiny pearls in clusters of 50 to 100. Under stones or mulch and along the edge of lawns is often where the eggs lay hiding. Q. I loved your article about year-round container gardens last month but want to know how long my perennials can survive in a large container that is 24-inches wide and about as deep. I have grown hosta, euphorbias and evergreens in this pot for years but the plants always seem to decline in health after a few years. T.H., Olympia A. Potted perennials and shrubs can get too chilly, too dry and too hungry after several years trapped in a container. October is a good month to remove overgrown potted perennials and shrubs, score or cut into the crowded root ball and replant them into your garden beds. Do not wait until spring because freezing winter weather is very hard on a root bound plant trapped in a pot.
If the potted plant is an evergreen shrub, you can try root pruning or shortening all the roots by one-third, then add fresh potting soil and replant the old plant back into the container. Every potted perennial will appreciate a blanket of compost mulch this time of year to help insulate the roots from the coming cold. If you do decide to empty your pots now, there is still time to replant with fall flowers such as mums, winter pansies and ornamental cabbages and kale. Add a few mini pumpkins as a mulch and poke a cut branch of maple leaves or autumn berries into your new fall planting and celebrate the change in seasons. Q. What plants need to be fertilized in the fall? I did feed my lawn a fall and winter lawn food a few weeks ago and it looks better than it has in years. K.L. Renton A. Fall is a good time to fertilize the lawn, but please do not fertilize any of your other plants in October. The shorter days and colder nights are Mother Nature’s way of coaxing plant life into a long winter nap so they will not suffer from the freezing weather ahead. Fertilizing keeps plants awake and producing tender new growth. Spreading compost Marianne Binetti
Search, destroy those garden slugs
or mulch on top of plants is preferred over sprinkling a fall fertilizer. Compost is not a fertilizer but rather a soil conditioner that will provide some slow release nitrogen when the weather warms up in spring. Q. When it comes to fall cleanup, what perennials do I cut back and what do I leave alone? I have some ornamental grasses that still look great. When do these need to be cut back? B. Email A. Here’s a rule of green thumb: when it’s brown cut it down; if it’s green, leave it be. This means you can leave the ornamental grasses, sedum autumn joy and Rudbeckia seed heads for the birds to enjoy all winter. But in early spring, when you see the forsythia in bloom, cut back the brown clumps of ornamental grass to make way for the new spring growth. Do not prune evergreen grasses like black mondo grass, sedges or carex. Always collect the soft damp leaves of hosta and cut back delphiniums now to discourage overwintering slugs. October is a good month to dig up and remove perennial plants or shrubs that did not perform well or were just too demanding. Fill the empty spot with fallen leaves and debris to rot over the winter so the soil will soften up and be ready for a new plant in the spring.
