Focus groups say no to homeless shelter BY MARK KLAAS mklaas@kentreporter.com
Faced with opposition from a concerned community, a proposed homeless shelter is no longer a possibility for one downtown Kent location.
Based on feedback from focus groups examining the idea of a proposed shelter, Kent city officials will not proceed with a request to use the former city Resource Center at 315 E. Meeker St. for any specified capacity for now. “There was a consensus that we
would not be going on to an RFP (request for proposals),” said Dennis Higgins, city council president. “The outcome of the focus groups is that the recommendation is not to proceed with an RFP … for any purpose at this time.” The City Council at last week’s
workshop received broad feedback from the focus groups, a community outreach effort the city used to gauge ideas and concerns from various sectors, including the faith and business communities. The Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission and the Kent Homelessness
Partnership Effort (KentHOPE) proposed to transform the twostory, 5,700-square-foot publicly owned building on East Meeker Street into a day center and overnight homeless shelter. [ more SHELTER page 5 ]

When will sandbags be removed? King County considers funding to move them by fall BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com
Caitlin Brown walks along the narrow path Tuesday of the Green River Trail only imaging what it
might be like without the giant sandbags covering most of the surface. “It’s an awesome trail,” said Brown, as she took her dog, Dexter, for a stroll along the paved path near her Kent condo. “I just wish the bags weren’t in the way.” It appears the sandbags could
remain along the trail until fall as city of Kent, Auburn, Tukwila and King County officials try to figure out how to pay for the estimated $7.6 million cost to remove the giant sandbags and Hesco barriers that line 26 miles of Green River levees. [ more SANDBAGS page 4 ]

Brubaker told the group in a letter that they are “free to prepare, format and circulate your petition at any time.” The initiative would “make the investigation, arrest, and prosecution of non-violent marijuana of-

Fifth-graders at Pine Hill Elementary School have a classroom full of treasure, pirate flags and games. For the past month, their teacher, Jeromie Heath, has transformed himself into a pirate and teaches all classroom subjects around a pirate theme. Heath believes the kids will retain information better if they are entertained.
“It keeps them interested and their behavior in check,” Heath said. “If they break a rule or act out, I tell them they won’t be able to participate in our learning games or I’ll go put on normal clothes and they stop right away.” This isn’t the first theme Heath has come up with to promote learning. He incorporates a different theme in his room every six weeks. [ more TEACHER page 5 ]
fenses, where the marijuana was intended for adult personal use, the lowest law enforcement priority.” Initially, it appeared based on Kent City Code that the group would need to go through several steps before collecting signatures from Kent voters. Brubaker, however, determined the city code needs to be changed when it comes to petitions in order to fall in line with the state petition process. “Our code has extra steps in the petition process that are not consistent with the state code,” said Brubaker during a phone interview Tuesday.

State charges Kent businessman with theft of L&I benefits; man is son of lieutenant governor left a message in February 2010 for a vocational specialist out of the Tacoma L&I office. Owen left a message but failed to disconnect the call as the answering machine recorded a conversation Owen had at work with a co-worker. On the recording, Owen states he was planning on receiving more time loss from the L&I then he was entitled to. Investigators then conducted surveillance at Kent Body, Paint and Fabrication over several days in February 2010 and observed Owen working at the company. The work activities were observed and documented by personal observation as well as photographs and video, according to charging papers.

Owen received medical services and time loss compensation from Nov. 13, 2009 through May 5, 2010, according to charging papers filed March 21. But a state L&I investigation determined Owen returned to work within a couple of days of the injury. Owen withheld that information from the state. He would not have been entitled to time loss compensation had he properly reported his actual return to work date. The state started an investigation after Owen
BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com
The state Attorney General’s Office has charged a Kent businessman with four counts of first-degree theft and one count of forgery for allegedly receiving $19,459 from the state for a job injury claim even though he had returned to work. Mark Lee Owen, 39, the son of state Lt. Gov. Brad Owen, pleaded not guilty to the charges Tuesday in Thurston County Superior Court in Olympia. Owen filed an industrial injury claim Nov. 9, 2009 with the state Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) after being shot in the arm at work at Kent Body, Paint and Fabrication by Carlos Fernandez, the owner of the
Investigators served a search warrant in July 2010 at the business and determined through interviews with co-workers that Owen returned to work within two weeks after the shooting. Owen told investigators in March 2011 that he had collected time loss compensation while working at the Kent company. He indicated he returned to work two days after the shooting. Owen had signed and completed six worker verification forms in order to collect payments from the state because of his work-related injury. Owen also allegedly assisted co-worker Steve Fernandez, the son of Carlos Fernandez, to illegally obtain benefits from L&I.

Secretary Reed has much to do before retirement BY MARK KLAAS mklaas@kentreporter.com
Secretary of State Sam Reed has a few things he wants to finish before his retirement in January. Things like returning to school, encouraging the younger vote, and promoting the importance of civility in politics and society. And long after he leaves office, Reed said, he hopes to continue to share a piece of state history. Reed one day would like to establish the Washington State Heritage Center in Olympia, a personal priority for the 71-yearold man, who has devoted a lifetime to public service. Reed Its goal would be to preserve archives and documents as a state territorial library and museum, creating a learning center for children and future generations of voters. Despite delays owing to the sour economy, the program has attracted funding. “It’s very important for people who are going to be voters, who are going to be engaged in the political process, to have some sense of historical context of how we got here from there,” Reed said during a recent visit to Kent, part of his statewide farewell tour. “It’s a passion of mine.” Engaging younger voters is important to Reed. About 68 percent of registered voters ages 18-24 voted in the 2008 general election, compared to just 45 percent in 2000. Reed considers that a positive sign. “Younger voters are just as impacted by what their government does as older generations,” Reed said. “I want them to understand that the best way to bring about change is through their ballot.” To support the cause, Reed embarks this month on his annual, statewide civics tour of college campuses, where he’ll encourage students to vote and strengthen their community ties. Reed will visit 45 campuses stretching from Bellingham to Vancouver, from Aberdeen to Pullman, in April. It is the largest number of schools he’s visited since 2006, when he began
the springtime tradition. “With so many key races and issues on this year’s ballot, students need to understand why voting is important, and they need to realize their collective voice is powerful when they exercise it through voting and being involved in their community,” Reed said. “A major reason why I do this tour is to explain to students why their vote makes a difference and tell them simple ways to be more civically engaged.” Reed has endured an event-filled, sometimes turbulent ride in his 12 years as secretary of state. In 2004, he saw the state through one of its most scrutinized gubernatorial elections in history – when Gov. Chris Gregoire beat Republican Dino Rossi by a mere 133 votes after two recounts and a court challenge. Under his watch, there have been 146 election reforms. Reed’s office cleaned up voter rolls, requiring new checks and balances for counties and reviews of elections. What’s more, Reed supported the state’s current top-two primary system, where the top two votegetters, regardless of party affiliation, move on to the general election. State Republican and Democratic parties opposed the system. “Parties don’t agree, but the people in the state do,” Reed said. Reed also helped to usher in the vote-by-mail system in Washington, making it only the second state in the country to adopt one, according to his office. Throughout the changes in this period, some of them controversial, Reed and his office have striven to hold the middle ground, especially during difficult, heated elections. Reed supports a Republican candidate as his successor. Thurston County Auditor Kim Wyman, Reed says, is qualified. State Sen. Jim Kastama, D-Puyallup, also wants the job, as do Greg Nickels, a Democrat and former Seattle mayor, and Kathleen Drew of Olympia, an analyst in the governor’s office and a former Democratic state senator.

Two Kentlake students charged with gun possession BY KRIS HILL
khill@covingtonreporter.com
Two Kentlake High School students who allegedly brought a gun to school on April 3 were charged
by the King County Prosecutor’s Office on April 6 with unlawful possession of a firearm in the second degree as well as unlawful possession of a deadly firearm at school.
According to the probable cause documents provided by the prosecutor’s office, Kentlake administrators learned around 10 a.m. that a student was suspected of bringing a gun to school. Because both boys are juveniles, the Reporter is not identifying them. According to Dan Donohoe, spokesman for the prosecutor’s office, the sentence range for the two
charges is up to 60 days in Juvenile Detention, or up to 30 days per count. School security officers briefed a deputy on what they knew before Kentlake Principal Joe Potts provided additional information. Deputies removed one boy from his classroom.

KING COUNTY NAMES NEW REGIONAL ANIMAL SERVICES MANAGER Gene Mueller, the administrator of Chicago’s largest critical-care veterinary hospital, was named as the new manager of Regional Animal Services of King County. “Gene brings a strong record of building partnerships with animal welfare groups, as well as experience leading a major metropolitan humane society and running a large veterinary hospital,� said King County Executive Dow Constantine after picking Mueller April 4 for the job. “I look forward to bringing his experience to bear to build on the success we’ve had with our new regional model that has transformed animal care in King County.� Mueller most recently led the Chicago Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Center, and served as president of the Anti-Cruelty Society of Chicago, where he directed fundraising and managed a team of more than 100 employees and 400 volunteers.
Kent City Attorney Tom Brubaker let the Sensible Washington group know it could start collecting signatures for its marijuana initiative. REPORTER FILE PHOTO
[ MEASURE from page 1 ] “We had not looked at it in years because we had no petitions sent to us.� Brubaker will present an amended city ordinance about initiatives to the City Council at its April 17 meeting. “We’ll present a similar ordinance that follows the process authorized by state law,� Brubaker said. Brubaker sent a letter to Sensible Washington to let it know about the change. “The net effect of these changes will be to simplify the process for initiative and referendum petitioners,� Brubaker wrote. “For example, petitioners will no longer be required to file initial petition copies with the city clerk, the city attorney will not be required to prepare an initiative statement and petitioners will not be required to submit their petitions within any specific time frames.�
City code currently requires the city attorney to review the initiative and within 14 days from the filing date to formulate an impartial statement that describes the purpose of the initiative. “Giving the city a chance to rewrite seemed wrong to me,� Brubaker said. No one has presented an initiative to the city since supporters of a juvenile curfew in 1997, Brubaker said. The council ended up passing a curfew ordinance and voters never considered the proposal. Sensible Washington, however, plans to make sure the marijuana petition goes to a vote of the residents. The group will need approximately 7,500 valid signatures of registered voters to get the measure to a vote. “We feel very strongly in the base of volunteers and support that we have from the city of Kent,� said Anthony Martinelli,
a spokesman for Sensible Washington, in an email. “Kent is certainly an ambitious city (likely requiring around 15,000 signatures when all is said and done to assure the valid total of approximately 7,500) but we have confidence in our ability to gather the proper signatures to put this on this November’s general election ballot. “Once on the ballot we will run an election campaign in the city, and as well have full confidence that the voters of Kent are ready for reform, and will vote yes.â€? A signed petition would be given to the city of Kent which would then send the signatures to King County for verification. If enough valid signatures are collected, the city council would come up with the ballot question and present the initiative for an election. more story online‌ kentreporter.com

[ SANDBAGS from page 1 ] The removal cost in Kent is estimated at $3 million. “I would think it would be safe to say by fall,” said Kent Mayor Suzette Cooke during a phone interview about when the bags might be removed. “That will give us the summer.” The sandbags have lined the trail for nearly three years for extra flood protection because of damage three years ago to an abutment next to the Howard Hanson Dam. But the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced last fall it can operate Hanson Dam at full capacity, which means the sandbags are no longer needed. Cities now face the problem of paying to remove the bags. None of the cities has extra millions sitting around to pay contractors for the expensive job. That’s why the King County Flood Control District Advisory Committee, a 15-member body
composed of mayors and council members from eight cities, has recommended the King County Flood District Board pay for 75 percent ($5.7 million) of the removal cost with the cities of Kent, Auburn and Tukwila paying 25 percent ($1.9 million) over a six-year period. The flood district board is composed of the nine members of the King County Council. It is a specialpurpose government that funds and oversees flood protection projects and programs. The board is funded through a county-wide property levy of 10 cents per $1,000 assessed value or about $40 per year on a $400,000 home. That brings in about $36 million a year for projects. The King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks carries out the approved flood protection projects and programs. The advisory committee
Thank you Kent for voting us
proposal would delay specific projects planned by the flood district board in the Green River basin in order to pay for removal of the sandbags. Each jurisdiction in the county also receives a small portion of the flood district property levy to pay for any flood control projects within each city. Under the proposal, Kent, Auburn and Tukwila would use that money to help pay for sandbag removal rather than other projects for the next six years. “We have to get the sandbags out of there,” Cooke said. “We’ve discovered certain industries (including Boeing) will not remove their sandbags until the city does because it will show a sign of security. The sandbags still there makes it look like we’re still at risk of flooding.” King County paid for the installation of the sandbags in the fall of 2009 through the flood control district by delaying planned projects.
Kent received $2.59 million from the county to place nearly 17,000 sandbags along 12 miles of levees to heighten the levees and help protect the city from flooding in case the thendamaged Hanson Dam could not hold back enough water. No heavy rainstorms struck since the January 2009 storm that damaged an abutment next to the dam, so the bags were never tested. But while King County paid for the placing of the sandbags, part of its agreement with the cities was the cities would have to pay for the removal of the bags. “The flood control district agreed to pay for the placement of the sandbags because they thought like we all did that we would get funding back from the federal government,” Cooke said. more story online… kentreporter.com

[ SHELTER from page 1 ] A majority of downtown business owners voiced strong opposition to the idea, saying a shelter would have a negative impact on the area. Undaunted, the pro-shelter group plans to pursue another location. “While we are very disappointed in the decision resulting from the focus groups, we will continue to work toward the establishment of a day center/ shelter in Kent,” Pat Gray, of KentHOPE, said in a statement. “We realize that our request of the city has resulted in much good conversation about the nature of homelessness in Kent, and for that, we are grateful.” Higgins says many positive things have come from the discussions. “They already had a positive impact in that regard,” he said. “My greatest conflict in this is we need to do more (for the homeless).” From the workshop, city officials are willing to pursue better ways to serve the homeless.

editor@kentreporter.com 253.872.6600 ext. 27-5050
With the City Council’s decision to reject a proposal from Union Gospel Mission to establish, operate and fund a homeless shelter in downtown Kent, an opportunity was allowed to pass largely on the opinion of the business community’s negative reaction. A subject with so much potential for polarizing various sects of the community must be evaluated with a wide-angle perspective. Where there are many who would consider themselves interested parties, it is imperative that none of the interested parties be seen as more important, and certainly should be no more influential, than any other. The recent reactions from a couple of Kent business owners, whose implication of representing the opinions of the majority of business owners was not substantiated, should not have been allowed to reduce the issues at hand to merely questions of money, industry and their view of progress. I too am a longtime resident of Kent. I have owned a business in Kent, have many commercial clients on whom my livelihood depends that are based in Kent, and I have long been involved with working with two of the fine organizations that serve the homeless in Kent. I disagree with Mike Hanis’ statement that we are “all warriors in the battle against homelessness.” Sadly, some of the initial reaction to this very attractive proposal to improve the service levels to our least fortunate indicated that many are reluctant spectators willing to pretend that Kent does not already suffer the negative consequences of homelessness. In evaluating the proposal, it was critical to acknowledge that, simply put, the population of homeless on the streets of Kent exists right now, and according to

Letters policy
Over the last two months the Kent Chamber of Commerce and the Kent Downtown Partnership have held countless meetings examining the issue of a potential homeless center located in downtown Kent. It was with feedback from our membership that the Kent Chamber of Commerce decided to oppose the use of the Resource Center, in downtown Kent, as a homeless shelter. At the City Council workshop and council meeting on April 3, the city of Kent honored our request and denied the use of the Resource Center as a homeless shelter. This does not mean the issue is over and we can disengage. Going forward, the City Council instructed that a task force be formed immediately to identify services for the homeless that we are lacking,

Green Kent Partnership: after one year on the ground, how are we doing? The Green Kent Partnership began in 2009, and received initial funding through a $95,000 grant from the King Conservation District. The funding allowed the city to begin the process of assessing the ecological health of our publicly-owned natural spaces, and developing a 20-year plan to restore and actively manage these areas.
Why? Because of the very real threat that within our children’s lifetime our urban tree canopy will be taken over by English ivy, Himalayan blackberries, scotch broom and other aggressive, nonnative species. Natural areas in urban settings are under pressures that more remote wild areas are not, and they need regular atten-

tion in order to fight back against those pressures. Having natural areas near where we live provide all sorts of benefits to us. Trees and natural areas are public assets that clean our air, buffer noise, retain stormwater to reduce flooding and help filter our water, increase property values, provide habitat to birds and animals and recreational benefits for residents. So, it is in everyone’s
interest to keep them healthy. Since we began implementing the plan, more than 700 community volunteers have participated in Green Kent Partnership restoration events and over 1,000 are on the monthly electronic newsletter mailing list.

Kent stores apply for liquor licenses BY SARAH KEHOE
skehoe@kentreporter
Many stores around Kent are looking to sell hard liquor once privatization takes full effect on June 1. Since the passage of Initiative 1183 by a 60-percent margin on Nov. 8, the city of Kent has received numerous applications from local retailers requesting changes to their licenses to allow them to sell liquor.
In the past 30 days, several businesses in Kent have applied for a hard liquor license. The applicants include Quality Food Center and four Rite Aid stores. The state will cease operations at its stores on May 31, but private operators can run them, pending the results of an online auction.

The state Supreme Court will hear arguments on May 17 in a lawsuit aimed at invalidating the initiative. A second lawsuit in King County was filed by unions whose members will lose their jobs if the state’s liquor stores close. The state liquor board expects to lay off about 900 of its 1,400 employees.

“Extreme Pita and Naked Pizza will add two more quick-service dining choices for our customers, and they are both a great compliment to our anchor tenant, AMC Theatres.” Extreme Pita offers a “no rules” menu that customizes every rolled pita to suit individual tastes. It has more than 250 locations in the U.S. and Canada, Naked Pizza features all-natural ingredients. Vegan and gluten-free options also are available.

overnight guests are drug and alcohol free, dispelling speculation that those guests would be a threat to neighboring businesses at night. The shelter would provide meals and restroom facilities that would reduce panhandling and using our outdoors as bathrooms. The shelter would provide a place for the homeless to go by day, reducing the burden on the library and other public facilities. UGM provides drug and alcohol programs.

And although I am loathe to engage in the type of speculation that opponents of the proposal demonstrated, it does stand to reason that sheltering the homeless at night reduces the burden on police services. It is not imperative that we even discuss so-called “warm fuzzy� aspects of a day/night shelter to see its value. Certainly there is a significant humanitarian aspect to the proposal, perhaps best dealt with by those who see a city as more
than just a conglomeration of money-generating businesses. But evaluation of the proposal revealed more practical benefits. The negative issues of a significant homeless population exist in Kent now. The strain on public facilities and services is real. The quality of life in Kent can be improved when citizens are not faced with their fellow citizens urinating on their front lawn and clogging the library because they have nowhere else to go.

portion of the homeless population is in transition; homeless by misfortune and needing a safe place to rest and set their belongings as they seek work and permanent shelter. In meetings regarding the proposal, it was suggested more than once that, where a shelter is in theory a good idea, the impact on immediately surrounding businesses would be too great and that this particular location was not desirable. This view was often expressed by the owners of those businesses in close proximity to the proposed shelter. Sympathetic though we can be that necessary services might impact some businesses more than others, it raises the question of whether a location that adequately serves the purpose can be found that would not affect surrounding businesses. I submit that any location in proximity to necessary services for the homeless will be likewise in proximity to some local businesses. It is easy to say that the idea has merit, just not right here. It will be more difficult to identify a location that effectively serves the purpose while negatively affecting no one. We can only hope that Union Gospel Mission is resilient in attempting to revive this concept, and that another suitable location can be found that will somehow satisfy citizens and the city council. This proposal was attractive, well conceived and presented by an organization with the infrastructure and experience to manage the facility and perform as excellent city partners. A city is a living community, dedicated to the welfare of all its citizens in a dynamic array of interconnected relationships, where the good for one should benefit the many. Kent has to face all of the issues of a growing city, and cannot avoid or procrastinate on the negative issues hoping they will solve themselves.

estimates, in significant numbers. Services currently providing evening meals have no provision or resources for providing services during the day. Our homeless population is left to wander the streets, often in retail centers or in the library. Loitering is prohibited, but moving a person does not make the person any less real in their next location. Inadequate public restroom facilities present an
obvious problem, leading to the necessity of using city park and retail restrooms, and of course inappropriate places. People without shelter add a burden to police and other public services both in time and resources. The Union Gospel Mission proposal addressed these concerns. What’s more, they offered to pay for it, proposing to fund all operating costs of the facility in return for rent-free use of the space. UGM mandates that

The second week of April is a great time to add trees, shrubs and perennials to the garden. Rhododendrons, azaleas and flowering trees are also in bloom this week and easy to find at local nurseries. If you notice a lovely plant growing in someone else’s garden but both you and the neighbor are unsure of the name, just snip off a small piece and carry it to a nursery or Master Gardener clinic for identification. The April showers and warmer weather makes this a good time to be adding trees, shrubs and perennials. You won’t be barking up the wrong tree is you’ve noticed a lot more dogs being walked in the neighborhood. Americans love their pets but as the size of the average back yard shrinks, the size of the family dog and number of family pets seems to grow.

lish roaming habits. 3. After seeding or planting an area with new plants lay thorny branches (got roses that need pruning?) on top of the soil. You can also try sprinkling the soil with red pepper flakes to teach your pets not to dig. 4. Use a thorny hedge of barberry or roses to discourage or redirect pets from entering an area or
taking a shortcut into a garden bed. Landscape designers use this trick with humans as well. 5. If you can’t beat them or retrain them, then provide a pathway of pawcushioning cedar shavings in the area where your pet has beaten down the grass or destroyed the plants. Cedar not only repels fleas but lasts for years when spread on top of a weed-blocking layer of newspaper or cardboard. Border the new cedar chip pathway with rocks or tree
limbs and you’ll have a natural woodland look in the garden instead of a path worn down to mud.

ADVANCED HEALTH CARE DIRECTIVES According to a recent large study, terminal cancer patients who have end-oflife discussions with their doctors appear to enjoy better quality of life in their final days, as well as pay less for health care. This discussion is often referred to as the “multimillion-dollar conversation� because it is usually likely to shift costs away from expensive, non-curative care (such as being on a ventilator) to less costly comfort care provided by a hospice or hospital. This entire issue can be addressed even earlier by using an “advance health care directive.� The directive is a document, prepared in advance, that instructs others about a person’s end-of-life care when/if he or she becomes unable to make his or her own decisions. If you have any questions about advanced health care directives, or about any aspect of end-of-life planning, please call my office. I have more than three decades of experience dealing with all aspects of this complex and sometimes difficult area of law and I can provide you with the good counsel you need and the compassion and understanding you want.

READY TO CONQUER THE COURT Kentwood senior Tess Manthou looks to make the most of her last season of high school tennis BY SARAH KEHOE skehoe@kentreporter.com
Tess Manthou’s father inspired her to take up pick up a tennis racket when she was a child. “My dad started me and my brother in tennis lessons when we were young to stay active and I started to really love it,� Manthou said. “I took lessons for a few years and then started playing competitive tournaments when I was about 9.� She is now a senior at Kentwood High and playing her final year for the Conquerors. Last year, she finished second at state in doubles with Eliana Spero, who graduated a year ago, and the year before Manthou took third in doubles. “Individually, I don’t know about playing singles or doubles yet but I’m focusing on my own game and getting better at every practice,� Manthou said. “I’m looking to have fun and enjoy my
CONKS NAME SOLOMON AS BOYS HOOPS COACH Kentwood promoted Blake Solomon to be its next boys basketball coach. “I’m most looking forward to building relationships with the players and making their experiences the best that I can make them,� he said. Solomon, who graduated in 2005 from Kentwood, knows something about what it’s like to make memories as a Conqueror – he was a junior when the Conks won the first title in school history in 2004. Solomon also serves as a paraeductor at the school, though he has a teaching degree and is certified to instruct health and physical education classes.

She stopped playing tennis year round so she could play club volleyball. Manthou played club volleyball for six years and all four years on Kentwood’s team. She was a libero, a defensive specialist, and helped the Conks to a second place finish at the 4A state tournament in November. “Tennis has kept me very active and taught me many skills beyond the court like how to be competitive, how to have determination, and how to fight for what I want,� she said. “I also saw many skills from tennis transfer into volleyball like how to stay composed and how to perform under pressure.

T-BIRD NAMED TO CANADA’S U-18 TEAM
khill@covingtonreporter.com
As teams in the South Puget Sound League North approached the midway point in the league schedule, Kentwood continued to roll, Kentlake split its games for the week and Kentridge struggled while Tahoma bounced back from a three-game losing streak. Kentwood picked apart Kentlake in a 12-0 victory on the road April 4. Skyler Genger got the complete-game win on the mound allowing three hits. He also finished the game 1-for-3 at the plate with an RBI.
Right wing Branden Troock of the Seattle Thunderbirds has been named to Team Canada for the Under-18 World Championships April 12-22 in Brno and Znojmo, Czech Republic. Troock, from Edmonton, Alberta, just finished his first season with the T-Birds in the Western Hockey League. He appeared in 58 games and had 14 goals and 12 assists for 26 points with 89 penalty minutes.
The Conquerors jumped on the Falcons pitching in the top of the second, scoring six runs, and never looked back. It started with a Kade Kryzso single, then another single by Jarrett Retz with Cash McGuire following that up with a bunt single. Genger then singled to center field and drove in a run. Reese McGuire stepped up to the plate next and hammered a double to the right center field gap. Lucas Gately then got a double of his own when he ripped it to center field. Gately finished the game 2-for-4 with a pair of RBIs.

Through April 6 the Chargers were 3-4 in the SPSL North and 4-5 overall. league match of the season, but was able to bounce back and defeat Kentridge the next week. “I think this showed a lot of determination from us,” Manthou said. “My goal for the season as a team would be to play our best at every match and learn to keep mentally focused because of the crazy schedule sometimes, which is due to all the rain cancellations.”

Don’t encourage your dog to “mark� his territory by peeing on someone’s tree, shrub or the neighbor’s lawn. Dog urine is high in nitrogen and can burn and damage plants. Responsible dog own-
ers will have their dogs do their business on their own property. 3. Dogs that dig are trying to help you. They either smell a rodent intruder or saw you flinging earth about as you were planting. Some breeds just need to dig. Choose a spot in the yard for doggy digging and train Fido to dig up toys and treats in this area only. Bury a toy or treat to give them
the idea. Even old dogs can be taught new tricks if you practice persistence and positive reinforcement. 4. Enjoy working in the garden with your pets nearby by rewarding them with attention for calm behavior. Plant some catnip for your kitty to keep him drunk with happiness.

HOW A FAMILY-OWNED FERRY SERVICE IS
GOING THE DISTANCE FOR LOCAL RESIDENTS — AND THE SEATTLE ECONOMY.
For more than 25 years, the iconic red-and-blue Clipper fleet has been ferrying commuters and vacationers alike between Seattle, Victoria, B.C. and the spectacular San Juan Islands. To keep the fleet as modern and comfortable as possible for passengers, Clipper Vacations began working with Bank of America in 2007. We initially helped by restructuring loans that enabled engine upgrades, allowing the fleet to reach speeds of up to 30 knots. More recently, we provided financing to modernize the fleet’s interior cabins. It’s a relationship that’s not only helping to get Seattle residents where they need to go — it’s also helping to generate local economic growth: the family-owned fleet employs 150 people. Clipper is another example of how we’re working to help locally based businesses grow and hire in the Puget Sound — and across the country. In 2011, we provided $222 million in new credit to small businesses in Washington — an increase of 28% from 2010.
