Iconic restaurant, bar closes Goodwill Outlet store might be moving in BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

The closure of H.D. Hotspurs after 32 years as a popular Kent restaurant and nightclub is just one of several changes going on next to Kmart in the Washington Avenue strip mall. The liquor store is moving out by the end of June. Furniture Plus and
Lil’s Thrift Shop will close the end of May. All four businesses received notices from the landlord to vacate. Outgoing business owners have heard Kmart’s new neighbor could be a Goodwill Outlet store, although details have yet to be released. “We’re looking at an outlet store in the Kent area,” said Amanda Bedell, a Goodwill spokeswoman, who added she could not confirm a specific location at this time. An outlet store carries items not sold at Goodwill retail stores, so
prices are even lower. Clothing, housewares, glassware, books, media and toys are sold by the pound. All other outlet merchandise is priced as marked. Items sold by the pound are not pre-sorted, and customers can sort through a variety of merchandise bins. The company has outlet stores in Seattle, Tacoma, Everett and Vancouver. “We have devout followers waiting for the arrival of goods,” Bedell said. Devout followers flocked [ more CLOSING page 4 ]

In early May, children with bald heads and big smiles danced on the Seattle Children’s Hospital’s Hematology Oncology floor. They held up signs with the words “hope” and “fighter” as they sang along to Kelly Clarkson’s “Stronger.” This celebration of strength was instigated by Kent resident
Chris Rumble, a 22-year-old Children’s Hospital cancer patient diagnosed with leukemia in April. The video went viral shortly after Rumble released it on YouTube. It now has a little more than two million hits. “I was blown away by the video itself as well as the success of it,” said Darren Rumble, Chris’ father. “I think it’s [ more VIDEO page 8 ]

“It was the hardest thing I ever had to do. It was crazy,” Blum said of treating the wounded in an evacuation hospital in a battle zone by the Iron Triangle. In that thickly forested, 120-square-mile area, most of the heavy fighting of 1967 was done.

Day by the pond Ask Your Lawyer by Dan Kellogg
NOT A PRETTY PICTURE If you are a person with family responsibilities, you owe it to the ones you love to have a valid estate plan. To more fully appreciate the ramifications of not doing so, consider your family’s picture without you in it. While it is sobering enough to think about the emotional challenge of such an unthinkable loss, imagine the legal consequences. In the absence of a will, the courts will distribute your property to your spouse and children under the laws of the state. A state court judge will also determine who will supervise the distribution of your property. If you want a voice in your own affairs, make a valid estate plan your top priority. I can help you write a valid estate plan that can ensure your wishes are carried out and your worldly goods are distributed in the way you see fit. In addition, I can help with other aspects of estate planning, as well as elder law and Medicaid planning. If you have any questions, call 425-227-8700 to make an appointment at one of my offices, which are conveniently located in Renton nand Kent. Committed to you and the community.

About 170 boys and girls age 14 and younger joined their families for a free fishing event last Saturday at Kent’s troutstocked Old Fishing Hole Park along the Green River. Kent Parks and the Rotary Club of Kent put on the event. The annual event gives kids an opportunity to catch fish with the help of a guide as well as to learn about boating, river and
lake safety from the U.S. Coast Guard. Kids received a free fishing pole courtesy of the Take Me Fishing and Go Play Outside Alliance of Washington. Above, Gavin Thurston, 4, son of Tina and Ed Thurston, of Covington, waits patiently for the fish to bite. Right, Megan Sundberg, 8, lands a trout.

Kent resident puts on event to view solar eclipse A Kent resident wants the community to be able to see the solar eclipse June 5. Dave Armstrong is setting up several telescopes for public viewing in the parking lot of Albertsons at the intersection of 108th Avenue Southeast and 208th Street in Kent. The Transit of Venus
event begins at 3 p.m. and continues past sunset. Armstrong is a member of the Boeing Employees Astronomical Society (BEAS) and the Tacoma Astronomical Society. “The event coming up is the transit of the planet Venus across the face of the sun,” Armstrong said. “This
event happens twice in an eight-year period, so if you miss it, you have a long wait.” The last Transit of Venus eclipse was June 2004 and was not visible in Washington. The next eclipse is reported to occur in 2117. For more information, call Dave Armstrong at 253-638-3118.
KENT POLICE will have extra patrols through June 3 to enforce the state’s seat belt law. This year marks the 10th anniversary of Washington’s primary seat belt law.

State to phase out liquor stores BY STEVE HUNTER
shunter@kentreporter.com
Two of the four Kent state liquor stores will close May 29 in preparation for the first day of private liquor sales on June 1. The Washington State Liquor Control Board announced Tuesday the closure schedule for most remaining state liquor stores with a phased closure method to spread out the shutdown over four days. The phased closures will ensure that there are available, but limited,
locations to purchase liquor across the state. “There is a lot of work involved in transferring these stores to private ownership,� said Chris Liu, director of retail services, in state liquor board media release. “This method will ensure that our customers have the ability to buy liquor right up until June 1, when private retailers take over.� The Kent East store, 25835 104th Ave. SE, and the Kent West store, 317 Washington Ave. S., will close May 29. Both stores were sold last
month to high bidders. Thirty-five state liquor stores, including two in Kent, will remain open until June 1. Customers will experience the most limited service on May 31 as all contract, and the majority of state stores will be closed. A liquor store in Des Moines at Redondo Square, 27067 Pacific Highway S., closes May 28. The Kent-Covington store, 17307 SE 272nd St., closes May 30. The two Kent stores open through May 31 are at 20514

A 21-year-old Auburn man was charged with second-degree assault for allegedly hitting a 10-yearold boy in the face during an altercation at a Kent movie theater. King County prosecutors charged Yong Hyun Kim on May 16 with second-degree assault in connection with the April 11 incident at the AMC Kent Station theater on Ramsay Way. Kim is scheduled to be arraigned May 31 at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. He was booked into the Kent city jail April 12 and released later that day. If convicted as charged, Kim faces a sentence range of three to nine months in jail, according to Dan Donohoe, spokesman for the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office. The boy told police he was inside the theater watching a movie with friends when a man with
long hair, wearing a hat and 3D glasses, stepped over a row of seats and told the boy that he paid a lot of money to see this movie, according to charging papers. Kim reportedly then struck the boy in the face with a closed fist, causing the boy's nose to bleed and knocking a tooth out. Three friends of the boy also witnessed the incident. Officers in response to a report of an assault at AMC Kent Station, located Kim in the theater. Kim told them a group of people were being loud and throwing popcorn that hit him and his girlfriend. He said he stepped over a row of seats to tell them to be quiet and stop throwing popcorn. He said the group laughed at him and did not quiet down. He added he then hit one of the subjects with an open hand. more story online‌ kentreporter.com

Hamamoto said business had started to pick up at the restaurant and nightclub, which he changed to live music from hip-hop. The hip-hop crowd had made the bar a regular stop for Kent Police in response to fights and other incidents. “It was going to work,� Hamamoto said. “Then we had the whole thing with the landlord.� Hamamoto said he’s looking into possibly opening a restaurant in Grand Coulee. He said other investors might try to find a new location for Hotspurs in the next several months. Terry Thompson, owner of Furniture Plus, just moved into his spot in February next to Hotspurs. Now he’s having a moving sale. Thompson agreed to a month-to-month lease and then received 30-day notice that he needed to clear out by the end of May. He said he’s heard crews will remove walls between his store and Hotspurs to make room for a new store. “I’m scrambling,� Thompson said about finding a new spot. “With the economy, there’s plenty of space. I have a few offers in.� Thompson has looked at retail space on Kent’s East Hill as well in Puyallup. His current space didn’t turn out to be as attractive as he

SEATTLE SUN TAN announced the acquisition of the Desert Sun Tanning Salons franchise system, including two locations in Auburn and one in Kent. With 34 Seattle Sun Tan locations throughout the Puget Sound area and 60 Desert Sun locations in Washington state, Seattle Sun Tan will become the fourth largest tanning salon operator in the U.S. with just under 100 locations, according to a May 18 Seattle Sun media release. Desert Sun is in Kent at 13003 SE Kent Kangley Road and in Auburn at 1247 Auburn Way N. and at 1811 Howard Road. “When we opened the first Seattle Sun Tan location in 2004, we had an outstanding response from our customers and set a goal of expanding to 12 locations by 2012,� said Seattle Sun Tan founder Scott Swerland.

anticipated. “It’s a rough neighborhood,� Thompson said. “There are a lot of homeless camps, people just hanging out and dumpster divers. There are panhandlers outside of Kmart.� Lil Hobbs opened her thrift shop seven years ago. She showed up to work one day and saw an eviction notice on the door to be out in 30 days. “I was shocked,� said Hobbs, who plans to rent space in Auburn. “I had just talked to the landlord a couple of days before.� Sukhwinder Sandhu might have had the biggest surprise of all. Sandhu and a partner purchased the rights to the state liquor store for $125,100 through the state Liquor Control Board in April. They had hoped to sell liquor starting June 1 at the site under the state’s new privatization law that gets the state out of the liquor business. Then he found out the landlord wanted the space for something else. Sandhu said he’s being allowed to stay until the end of June. He hopes to open June 1 at the current site but remains busy looking for another retail space nearby. The state told successful bidders they would need to secure a lease with the property landlord. If they are unable to secure a lease, they may re-sell their right or request an alternative location within a one-mile radius of the existing location.

www.kentreporter.com [ BLUM from page 1 ] “Can you imagine seeing people with their bodies partially mutilated, mangled, blown apart?” Blum said. “I’ve never seen so much blood in my life. Where I worked, the operating room, I was covered with blood. … I literally was standing in blood. It was horrible.” Because battle lines were not sharply drawn in the confused jungles and thickets of Southeast Asia, Blum’s hospital also served as a M.A.S.H. unit. The airlifted wounded came quickly and frequently to doctors and nurses at the 12th Evacuation Hospital in Cu Chi, making it the largest user of fresh blood in all of Vietnam, Blum said. Despite the challenges, Blum said, the hospital staff saved more wounded than it lost. “I saw the worst because of where we were,” she said. “We were right beside the Ho Bo Woods, where all the fighting was going on. I saw it. I heard it. I smelled it.” Sights, smells, and sounds that shaped what Blum would become. Drawing on her wartime experiences as a decorated Vietnam War nurse and her later training stateside, Blum works today to heal others psychologically torn by war and other traumatic events – even as she was torn. Her long, and at times difficult, journey ultimately led to a fulfilling career as a practicing nurse psychotherapist, energy healer and author.
U.S. Army nurse Sarah Blum worked with doctors in treating the wounded at the 12th Evacuation Hospital in Vietnam near a fiercely contested battle zone in 1967. “It was the hardest thing I ever had to do,” Blum said of her duty. COURTESY PHOTO Blum, the first psychotherapist to open an office in Federal Way back in 1977, has been in Auburn since 1985. She counsels clients from all walks – men, women and children, active and reserved military – veterans living in Auburn, Kent, throughout King County and beyond. She offers individual, couples and group therapy. She specializes in helping people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Blum’s personal experiences taught her a great deal about trauma and how to heal it. War, she said, has proven to be the best preparation for being an effective psychotherapist and coach. What she didn’t know then, as an Army captain nurse, was that psychological symptoms

Robbyn Adelsman 253-569-0106
associated with PTSD would follow her home. Blum got through those terrible days in the operating room by “building up a brick wall around my heart.” She only succeeded in suppressing her feelings. “(In Vietnam) I couldn’t let the emotions get the best of me,” she said. “I had to learn really fast to turn it all off, so that it didn’t show. … I did a lot of stuff internally to be able to survive.” She deals with the same issues today. “Being a client, I was doing my own healing work. I spent years in my own therapy and dealt with issues from Vietnam and uncovered the early childhood issues
and healed those,” she said. Blum vows to heal, not assuage, patients. “I tell people when they come to see me, ‘If you just want to cope, see somebody else. If you want to get better, if you want your life to be better, then let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work,’ “ she said. A gifted surgical nurse, Blum decided to get out of the operating room and treat others in a different way. As her military stint ended, Blum went to college, earning her bachelor’s degree in nursing at Seattle University. Later, she earned her master’s in psychosocial nursing at the University of Washington. She has been married. She raised a family in Auburn. Her daughter, Lorna, is a social worker. Her son, Sean-David, a professional musician, served in the U.S. Army Band. Blum has made an impact with her practice and in her efforts elsewhere. She was among the first women to be elected to the Vietnam Veterans of American National Board of Directors. She has worked with others on legislation to help victims of Agent Orange. She was a member of the first international volunteer group, PeaceTrees Vietnam, which returned to the country in 1996 to plant trees on land once ravaged by war. She went to heal herself – and the land. “A veteran had given me a letter
and asked me to read it when I got to Vietnam and to plant it under a tree,” Blum said of her personal pilgrimage. “It was emotional.” Blum has set her experiences down on paper. Her first, soonto-be-published book, “Women Under Fire: Abuse in the Military,” relates real stories of women who were raped or otherwise sexually assaulted in the military. She is working on a second book, “Women Under Fire: PTSD and Healing,” that chronicles her own experiences and those of others. Blum says there are more options today for those struggling with PTSD and other anxiety disorders. Attitudes towards afflicted war veterans and soldiers have changed since the Vietnam era, she said. “It’s much more accepted today. There’s a lot more education about it,” Blum said of PTSD. “I think that’s what Vietnam vets have done for our country, in that they educated people about the trauma of war, about PTSD and what it is,” Blum added. Blum recognizes there is more work to be done. She is doing her part. It is her calling in life. “I’m interested in the truth,” she said of helping to treat the emotional wounds of others. “I’m a clear thinker, a problem solver. I’m a very strong person. I am someone who heals.” To learn more about Sarah Blum, ARNP, MN, please call 253-939-8796 or visit www.sarahshealinghaven.com.

Question of the week:
COMMENTARY
editor@kentreporter.com 253.872.6600 ext. 27-5050
Elena Stowell loves to tell stories about her daughter, Carly Stowell, who died in April 2007 – a week before her 15th birthday. For years, Elena Stowell naturally struggled to cope, until she found Brazilian jiujitsu, a martial art. She then began to tell stories about her daughter, who was a freshman at Kentlake High School, through the lens of her new sport. A year ago her grief therapist suggested she write the stories down so Stowell, a science teacher at Kentwood High, could see how far she had come. At that point, Stowell said, “One of the things I’m dealing with is ‘I’m still sad. Where am I going?’ But, I sort of blew her off.” Stowell eventually began to write. “And I didn’t stop,” she said. “The first couple chapters were kind of hard because it was about how I got to where I was … so I was writing and crying at the same time. I just kept writing these things down.” James Foster, her jiu-jitsu coach, used ways to filter her grief over the death of her first-born child. Those things helped provide the framework for the vignettes in Stowell’s book. “I tell people I’m an accidental writer. I didn’t sit down to write a book. I was just doing a therapy project,” Stowell said. “A lot of people gave me these therapy books about grieving and none of them really moved me.” Her book is raw. “At first, I felt vulnerable,” Stowell said. “I am kind of laying myself out there. This is my story. This is me honoring her.” After finishing the book, Stowell sent it to an editor who encouraged the author to publish it. The book, “Flowing with the Go: A JiuJitsu Journey of the Soul,” is available for pre-order through the publisher at www. bqbpublishing.com or through Amazon. It comes out July 10.

T-Birds need to improve to help ShoWare fortunes I’ve read that one reason the ShoWare Center is losing money is they “can’t put butts in the seats!” One possible solution seems to be to charge for parking. What’s that going to do? It’s going to force people to park offsite, or worse, not attend events. That’s the solution, all right. As a hockey fan, former player, coach and president of a hockey association in Northern New York State, I believe a better solution would be if ShoWare’s major tenant were to actually put a winning product on the ice. The record for the Thunderbirds the last three seasons, has been a dismal 73 wins (that’s an average of 24.33 wins a season), while compiling 123 losses (an average of 41 losses a

This past season, instead of improving, they had a worse record than the year before, 29-37-3-3 to 25-45-1-1. The leading scorer had 22 goals, 18 assists and 40 points for the year. I realize that isn’t done every
season, but we as fans deserve better than 40 points from the T-Birds’ leading scorer. Russ Farwell has changed coaches, with negative results. Maybe a better solution would be to change the general manager for putting an inferior product on the ice. Don’t get me wrong, I support ShoWare and the T-Birds. But I see much of the financial problems ShoWare is having are because of the product the Thunderbirds are putting on the ice. They are the major tenant. You need to give fans a good reason for going to the games, especially in this economy. Attracting Skating America was great, but for most of the winter, hockey is No. 1. More and better concerts also would boost attendance. Fix these problems and maybe ShoWare would “put butts in the seats!” – John R. June [ more LETTERS page 7 ]

Time to give pause to flags at the cemetery Like many Americans, Memorial Day never ceases to move me. Rivaled only by Christmas and Easter, it’s the most poignant time of the year for me, maybe because, like Christmas and Easter, it’s about life, death, and remembrance. This Memorial Day, several images stick with me:
Recently, I was sitting at the waiting room at a hospital, alternately reading something and checking email on my BlackBerry, consumed by my own little modern, technological world. Over to my left, I heard an elderly gentleman saying to another elderly gentleman, “Yes, I got there in 1943, ready to deploy to Italy …. ”

I looked over at the two of them. They were chatting amicably, calmly, quietly, unostentatiously. When the one finished a thought about the Italian campaign, the other picked up with his story about boarding a plane for Europe nearly 70 years ago. The two men sat a few feet apart, two chairs between them. I was struck by how similar they looked. Each was probably late 80s, about
5 foot 9, 160 pounds, apparent good shape, minds sharp as tacks, wearing trousers on a very hot day, baseball caps, legs crossed, arms bent atop the back of a chair. They looked like farmers, and probably were farmers in their youth before they headed off to World War II. They were mirror images physically, could be mistaken for brothers, but their resemblance was more than that: each possessed a sort of serenity, a peace. You had the sense that if the doctor told them they had just [ more GUEST OP page 7 ]

Like many of you reading this article, I’ve encountered these men frequently in my life, but increasingly less so. I’m in my mid-40s. I came across them much more often 20 years ago. I’m struggling here to provide a picture of what I regrettably know is a dying breed, a special American that my kids will not encounter in their mid40s. What a loss that will be.

The Valley Gang Unit formed in January and includes representatives from the Kent Police, Auburn Police, Renton Police, Port of Seattle, King County Metro Police, the Department of Homeland Security and the state Department of Corrections. Other participating agencies in the Saturday crackdown included the King County Sheriff ’s Office, Seattle Police, Tukwila Police, Federal Way Police, Bellevue Police, the King County Regional Intelligence Group and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Kent Police Chief Ken Thomas helped form the Valley Gang Unit after the
car-show shooting in July at a Kent strip mall that injured 12 people. Padilla said existing gang units in Seattle, King County and Pierce County have helped, but South King County needed its own task force because of the gang activity in its cities. “It’s much more dispersed in the community,� Padilla said about gang activity. “It used to be in certain communities. Now it’s in bits and pieces here and there.� Padilla said gang members also have changed from fighting over territories to fighting over profits from drugs, prostitution, weapons, burglaries and robberies. “It’s a little bit of everything,� he said. In addition to working with police agencies, the gang units work with the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office and the U.S. Attorney’s Office to
have painted them for the Saturday Evening Post. And they are nearing extinction. Two decades from now, a handful will be left, and they won’t be shooting the breeze in the hospital waiting room or local McDonald’s. That brings me to another image that sticks with me: Whizzing past a cemetery on Memorial Day literally gives pause. It looks like every second or third tombstone is festooned with a tiny American flag. Could that be possible? Sure, it could. My town (probably like yours) was founded in the 19th century. From then on, America’s men went to war. From the Civil War to World War I to World War II to Korea to Vietnam, among other conflicts, each generation served and died. Most died years after getting home and starting families with their sweethearts. The flags at the
cemetery bear witness. Sadly, we’re currently amid a period when we’ll observe a palpable increase in the flags at the cemetery, and a corresponding decrease in the gentlemen talking about the war at the hospital or McDonald’s. It’s a process that’s irreversible. There’s nothing we mere mortals can do about it. It’s in God’s hands. But there is something you can do. When you see these men, talk to them. Don’t miss a golden, fleeting opportunity that your children and grandchildren will not get. Listen to them, enjoy them, and remember them.

nurses, patients and parents, out in the hallways participating. He is a fan of Clarkson and thought the words were perfect for relating to cancer. “It was not only good to see the kids happy, but it was also great to see how their parents were so happy as they watched their kids just being kids – dancing, singing and having fun,” Chris said. “The kids will also enjoy being able to watch the video forever and share it with their friends and family.” Clarkson sent a video message to the children at the hospital after viewing Chris’ work. Clarkson commented that the video was amazing and said, “This video is so beautiful and meaningful and it made my day. This is just the coolest thing to be able to watch, and I can’t wait to meet you.”

In April, after having swollen glands and being urged by others to visit a doctor, Chris visited a Wenatchee clinic to be tested for mononucleosis. Doctors told Chris he had leukemia and sent him to receive treatment at Children’s Hospital. “It’s not easy, but Chris is doing well and we are getting through it,” Darren said. “He has a good attitude, a fighter’s spirt and is plowing through it.” Chris is now undergoing a six-month treatment plan at Children’s and is set to complete therapy in September.

He spent two weeks diligently working on this.” Chris hopes to beat cancer in time to attend Canisius College in New York, where he plans to play hockey. “He found out his treatment would be done by Aug. 15, and he decided he would go straight to school from there,” Darren said. “I believe he will be strong enough to do it.

SPORTS
Kentwood baseball headed to final four
seeing the ball really well. We’re all pretty much clicking pretty well.� Kentwood’s been clicking so well, in fact, the 5-0 win over Redmond in the second round of state on May
19 almost seemed easy. Add to that it was a little payback when the Conks punched the Mustangs out of the tournament to make it to the final four. “I didn’t really about it until I got into the parking lot,� McCord said. “We didn’t get as far as we wanted to last year and we lost to Redmond in the quarterfinals. We got a little revenge.� McCord, who is batting .418 on the season through May 19 with an on base percentage of .568, went 1-for-2 in that game with a double and an RBI. Reese McGuire, a junior who catches for the Conks, led Kentwood at the plate with a 2-for-3 performance with an RBI while senior Cash McGuire was 1-for-3 with two RBIs. In the semifinal, Kentwood gets Todd Beamer, which knocked off Tahoma 3-2 in the quarterfinals, and Jones said that the Conks’ relaxed attitude as well as its experience should help the team bring home another state title. Gately said just being two years removed from the last championship helps. “A lot of us have a lot of experience at the state tournament,� Gately said. “Especially the three or four of us who were with the 2010 team, we saw how
calm they were and now we’re trying to replicate that.â€? McCord said this year’s squad can draw some comparisons to the 2010 championship team among them the fact there were a number of seniors on both whom brought significant experience to the field. There’s that chemistry, too. “We play as a family,â€? Gately said. “We really feed off each other. One of our vocal leaders, Skyler (Genger), he really brings us together as a team.â€? Taking it one pitch at a time, staying relaxed, hitting the ball well, strong pitching and a stellar defense – Kentwood seems to have it all. The other significant piece is first-year head coach Mark Zender, whom Jones described as “old school.â€? “We’re coached well,â€? Jones said. “A big part of how a team acts ‌ depends on how they’re coached.â€? Gately added, “Zender lets us play and he gets results out of that.â€? Right now, though, it’s time to prepare for the final two games of the season. “We just need to stress fundamentals this week,â€? McCord said. “If we go out and play like we did all year I think we’ll be all right.â€?
Tahoma earned its second straight berth thanks to a 4-3 win over South Puget Sound League North rival Kentridge in a winner-tostate, loser-out game. It’s been a decade since the Chargers made it to the state tournament when they won it all in 2002. Tahoma and Kentlake squared off in a seeding game with the Falcons coming away with a 10-7 victory over the Bears to earn the fifth seed and a match up with Monroe in the first round of state. Tahoma gets Richland in the first game of the double-elimination
tournament which starts Friday at the Merkel Sports Complex in northwest Spokane. Kentlake senior Brittany Jacobsen, who is a team captain, said it was a big deal for the Falcons to get back to state. “For me, it means a lot because at the beginning of the season, a lot of people doubted us or that we could make it this far,� Jacobsen said. “And just because it’s my senior year and you always want to go to state your senior year.� Kentlake punched its ticket to state with a 6-0
victory over Todd Beamer in a winner-to-state, loser-out game, which the Falcons were in after a loss to the Raiders from Thomas Jefferson High the day before. “After that loss we talked about wanting it and making routine plays and that we just needed to come back together as a team,â€? Jacobsen said. “Our goals are to get as far as we can (at state). We’re going to work hard ‌ and focus on what needs to get done.â€? A year ago the Falcons played three games at the [ more STATE page 14 ]

ALL-LEAGUE TENNIS TEAMS RELEASED Kentlake’s Kara Ikeda was named the Girls Tennis Player of the Year in the South Puget Sound League North. All League selections included Laura Tran of Kent-Meridian, Kyana Esber, Karissa Lau and Katie Ly of Kentridge, Maddie Belmondo, Tess Manthou and Dalena Nguyen of Kentwood as well as Kelly Bentrott and Maddie Turek of Tahoma. Kimberly Williams of Kentlake, Katelyn Overland of Kentridge and Rachel Venn of Kentwood all received honorable mention. Tracy Tran of Kentridge, Mina Sultana of Kentwood, Turek and Laura Tran of K-M, all earned 4.0 GPAs and were among several players who earned All-Tournament Academic honors. In addition, Ly, Manthou, Amanda Peng and MacKenzie Galloway of Tahoma as well as Ikeda were on the list. Kentlake earned the SPSL Sportmanship Award.
Kentwood’s baseball team is ready to take its one-pitch warrior mentality to Pasco for the 4A state final four this weekend. “The key for us is to stay relaxed,� said senior outfielder Carson McCord. And take it one pitch at a time. That strategy has worked for the 23-2 Conquerors all season and Taylor Jones, who pitches as well as plays first base, doesn’t want to see that change. “If we continue to do what we do, we’ll be all right,� Jones said. “Don’t do anything different. Absolutely nothing different.� Senior Lucas Gately said the team’s consistency will help them win a state title. Then there’s the other things Kentwood does well. “Playing as a team,� Gately said. “No one’s ever negative. Everyone’s picking each other up. And hitting the crap out of the ball.� Kentwood’s bats were pretty hot in the first two rounds of state. First, there was the 8-3 victory over EdmondsWoodway in which Kentwood had 13 hits. Cash McGuire went 3-for-3 with three triples and three RBIs against Edmonds-Woodway while
Kentwood senior Cash McGuire makes contact during a state tournament game on May 19. KRIS HILL, The Reporter McCord was 3-for-4 with a run scored, a double and an RBI. Jones said McCord has been hot at the plate lately. “I’m feeling really comfortable,� McCord said. “I’m

state tournament but were eliminated on the first day. It was a tough pill to swallow for a team that had won the division, league and district titles. Meanwhile, Tahoma had a rough start to the tournament with a 6-0 loss to Kentwood, which came up just short in its winner-tostate game against Central Kitsap, but won its second game against Spanaway Lake on May 18 to set up the third match up of the year with Kentridge. Bears junior second baseman Courtney Cloud clinched the win thanks to a catch in foul territory near first base of a Kayla Andrus pop up when the Chargers had the tying run on third and the winning run at second base. For Jordan Walley, one of two seniors on a team that in 2011 made its first state appearance in more than two decades, that moment was huge.

Optimized Saffron with SatierealÂŽ
As seen on Dr. Oz
Often find yourself snacking between meals? Can’t help reaching for that extra cookie? Having difficulty exercising portion control? Optimized Saffron with SatierealŽ may be just the answer you need. SatierealŽ is a clinically studied, proprietary extract of saffron ... a spice that’s been prized since ancient Persia as a way to enhance mood and relieve stress. This standardized saffron extract provides support for healthy body weight by targeting some of the emotional factors that make you eat more when you’re trying to eat less.
Kentlake’s Brittany Jacobsen puts the bat on the ball in a game against Todd Beamer on May 19. KRIS HILL, The Reporter ing her back in early April. “Before (Cloud) caught it, I thought, ‘Someone better catch that ball,’� Walley said. “When Courtney reached out, I was like, ‘Hold onto it.’ That was my proudest moment, to see an underclassman do that.� After graduating six seniors, four of whom are now playing college ball, Tahoma came into this season flying under the radar. Early on even Walley and co-captain Hayley Beckstrom weren’t sure what the team had but they still wanted to get back to state.

But I think as a whole the team really made a statement this year.� Barto added that the loss of several top performing seniors last year gave impression that it was a rebuilding year for the team. “The kids took this to
heart and took them (the other teams) by force. I’m very proud of the kids and I have no doubt this week that they’re going to surprise some people. People can say this a rebuilding year but I said ‘We’re strong, but next year we’re going to be stronger.’� Tahoma’s girls placed sixth with 43 points.

Now Walley and the rest of the Bears want to prove they have reloaded, not rebuilt. “Seeing how our team has developed, nobody picked us to go as far as we have, so it shows how far we’ve come,â€? Walley said. “Winning a game (at state)‌ just to show that we belong, that we’re not a fluke because we played crappy teams, which we didn’t.â€? Kentwood coach Jason Wisor said that while the Conquerors came up one win short of their first trip
to state since 2009, but given what this group of girls has been through off the field, he said in an email interview he was proud of what the team accomplished. “This weekend we just didn’t hit the ball,� Wisor wrote. “We couldn’t string any hits together or get runners on. We ended up making a few more errors in the Bellarmine and Central Kitsap games that really took momentum away from us.� Wisor added his freshman pitcher Kendall Goodwin may have run out of gas by the end of the district tournament after pitching nearly 100 innings just in league play. “For a freshman to come in and throw that many innings and do as well as she did is unbelievable,� Wisor wrote. “I am really proud of her for fighting through the soreness and fatigue.� This season was the best Kentwood has had since 2009 as it finished 10-6 in league after back-to-back 7-9 seasons.

More than 60 people participated in the Kent Downtown Partnership Clean-Up Day.

or three times over the next few weeks to kill off the worms before they mature into moths. Clean up fallen leaves and debris around your lilac especially in the fall to keep this insect from hiding out in the root zone. Q. I have a spirea “Magic Carpet� variety growing in a large container. It does very well and blooms most of the summer. My question is how long can this shrub grow in a pot? S.D., Olympia A. You don’t need to contain your enthusiasm for this happy shrub because potted spiraes have bloomed happily in containers on my patio for almost a decade.
THE GARDENER
A. You can get snippy with the faded blooms of lilacs to promote new growth and better blooming. Lilacs also need to have their suckers or new growth coming from below ground removed to keep them from reverting back to wild plants. Shorten the longest branches of your lilac by at least a third to encourage new growth. The curling leaves and silky webs are from banded leaf roller insect. If you have just a few leaves infected, remove them immediately and squish the little caterpillar hidden inside the rolled leaf. If more than a third of the shrub is infected you can spray with an organic spray called BT or Bacillus thuringiensis two

The fourth week in May is when the soil has warmed and it is time to seed cucumbers, squash, carrots, and other warm season crops directly into the soil. You can also plant seeds of flowering plants such as nasturtiums, sunflowers, marigolds, cosmos and iberis now for flowers that will be blooming this summer. If you haven’t edged the lawn then set some boundaries now and sharpen the blades of your mower for a crisp, clean cut all summer. Roses, perennials and potted plants need fertilizing this week. Q. My lilac is done blooming. Do I have to prune off the faded flowers? Also the leaves are curling with some silky threads. Help! D.F., Renton

Mike Miller of Valley Bank will lead a small crew on Friday to hang 60 large flower baskets throughout downtown.
KING COUNTY OFFICIALS notified Green Kent Steward volunteer Amy Schillinger that she secured a $2,400 grant through the “Wild Spaces in City Places� program for a project to increase wildlife snags at Kent’s Green River Natural Resources Area. Schillinger partnered with Rainier Audubon Society and the city of Kent to write the successful grant to build, install and monitor six artificial “snags� with volunteer help. King County awarded the grant May 1. City of Kent Environmental Engineering wetland biologist Matt Knox said snags provide critical wildlife habitat, especially for birds that use them as hunting, resting and song perches as well as for nesting.

hundreds of other native and new plant introductions. The important thing is to improve your soil by adding organic matter and mulch the shrubs so that they don’t dry out. All new trees and shrubs will need water the first few summers that they are in the ground. My personal favorite for summer color in the shade is the hydrangea. There are many new hydrangeas available that creating an outdoor room using hydrangeas that rebloom such as the “Endless Summer� and “Blushing Bride� varieties is rewarding. There are also some new dwarf hydrangeas that are perfect for pots on a shaded porch or patio. You’ll pay more for a patented new hydrangea but these hardy shrubs are long-lived and carefree – you’ll have it made in the shade.
The artificial snags will be made using steel poles on the lower sections and a salvaged natural “trees� on the top. “This design is the brainchild of Roger Orness, a former Boeing designer and avid birdwatcher and Green River Natural Resource Area volunteer,� Knox said. “It looks natural, yet will stay standing much longer than a natural snag, which often rots quickly at the base.� For more information about the 304-acre Green River Natural Resources Area, visit www.KentWA.gov and search for Green River Natural Resources Area. The Green Kent Partnership is working to restore and manage 1,344 acres of forested park lands and other natural areas. To learn more, go to www.GreenKent.org.

Like Japanese maples, they seem to adjust to the potted lifestyle but unlike Japanese maples, spiraes look better when pruned back hard early in the spring. I have found that all the dwarf or compact varieties of spirea do well in containers including the spirea “Limemound� the “Golden Sunrise� the “Goldflame� and the beautiful and carefree spirea “Magic Carpet.� Q. What shrubs will do well in the shade? I have some large trees in my back yard and very little full sun. C.C., Maple Valley A. Filtered shade from tall trees is perfect for growing rhododendrons, azaleas, hydrangeas, leucothe, viburnums, euonymous, yews, even blueberries and nandina along with
