ShoWare turns profit in first quarter of 2013 BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com
The profits are coming. That’s the message ShoWare Center officials are sending after the arena turned a profit of $7,048 for the first quarter of 2013 and
could be on the path to its first profitable year since the arena opened in 2009. “We look like we’re going to hit budget for the year and, hopefully, a little bit better than budget for the year,” said Patrick McCluskey,
ShoWare finance director, during an interview last week. The city-owned arena had income of $676,188 and expenses of $669,140 for the first three months. ShoWare officials had projected a loss of $58,201 for the
first quarter. ShoWare turned its first profitable quarter since the first quarter of 2011. “We’re $65,000 over budget and $7,000 in the black,” McCluskey said. The unexpected revenue boost

Robert “Uncle Bob” Schmidt was lucky enough to have two families – his wife, Kim, and two sons, Alex and Erik, and his fire family. On the day he died, the Kent firefighter lay in the comfort of his own home surrounded by both families. “He was happiest when he was with his family,” said Chaplain Pat Ellis as he spoke to a crowd Tuesday at a memorial service at River of Life Church in Kent. Schmidt, 50, died April 21 after a 10-month battle with brain cancer. Families and more Schmidt than 100 firefighters from throughout the state gathered to celebrate Schmidt’s life and accomplishments. Fire trucks lined the entrance of the parking lot of the church while a large U.S. flag was suspended in the air between sets of ladders. Inside, a portrait of Schmidt stood on one side of the stage, his gear and badges on the other, and a replica fire truck served as a podium during the service. The everlasting bond Schmidt created with members of both families became the focus of the service. “It’s about family,” said Capt. Kraig “Gus” Peiguss, a fellow C-shifter at Fire Station 71 who worked alongside [ more SCHMIDT page 4 ]

To honor all military veterans, the city of Kent will rename South 231st Way as Veterans Drive. City officials will host a street-naming ceremony for Veterans Drive at 11 a.m. Friday, May 31. The ceremony, at the intersection of South 231st Way and Russell Road, is open to the public. Veterans are encouraged to attend. Mayor Suzette Cooke said the project was requested by Kent resident Marcus Shelton as a way to honor veterans for their dedication and service to our country, especially his
father, the late Thomas E. Shelton, who retired after 26 years in the U.S. Air Force. “I thought it was a great idea and a fitting tribute to have a street in Kent that honors all branches of service,� Cooke said in a city media release. South 231st Way will be renamed Veterans Drive where it intersects at the north end of Russell Road, and continues west over the Colonel Joe M. Jackson Bridge and ends at Military Road. Cooke said renaming this particular portion of road is so appropriate
because of its historical significance. “Military Road opened up supply lines between military forts when it was first completed in 1860, making it one of the oldest roads in Washington,� Cooke said. “Now it will be appropriately connected with a bridge dedicated to local World War II veteran and Medal of Honor recipient Colonel Joe M. Jackson.� The city dedicated the new bridge to Jackson when it was completed in 2006. The ceremony will include music, military and motorcycles. Individuals or groups interested in supporting the event are encouraged to call the city at 253-856-5700 or email VeteransDrive@KentWA.gov.

Exposure, growth and education are important to a Kent nonprofit organization committed to acknowledging and advancing the work of African Americans in South King County. To catch and showcase that, organizers with the Kent Black Action Commission (KBAC) are busy preparing for its second annual Juneteenth celebration, set for June 15 at the Kent Senior Center. The community-wide event will feature programs, information, vendors, food, entertainment and speakers while commemorating African American freedom and emphasizing education and

achievement. The event, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., is free and open to the public. “We’re inviting the community to the event ‌ to bridge all groups and organizations,â€? said Gwen Allen-Carston, KBAC executive director and business owner. “This day will be one of history and knowledge.â€? Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. From its Galveston, Texas origin in 1865, the observance of
June 19 as the African American Emancipation Day has spread throughout the country, including Kent. KBAC, a small organization that meets regularly and holds special events, is looking to grow in size and stature. It also is working to attract sponsorships, particularly to support its Juneteenth event. “We hope Juneteenth will boost our membership,� Allen-Carston said. “We want all to come out and share the experience.� This year’s celebration will

The summit and subsequent workshops were made possible through small grants from the Road Map Project, a communitywide effort to dramatically improve student achievement from cradle to college and career in South King County and South Seattle. The KBAC summit organizers welcome students and parents to participate in the essay program, an educational component to Juneteenth. “We want to help create a formidable team with students and parents,� said Richard Johnson, director of project funding for KBAC who was instrumental in obtaining the grants. “We want to address and close the achievement gap (in education).� KBAC seeks a major co-sponsor for the event.

Julia M. (Glass) Crow
Julia M. Crow, 80, a resident of the North Plains, Oregon community, died Friday evening, April 5, 2013, at the EmpRes Hillsboro Health and Rehabilitation in Hillsboro, Oregon. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, May 4, 2013, 3:00 P.M., at the Edline-Yahn & Covington Funeral Chapel, 27221 156th Ave. SE, Kent, WA. Julia Elizabeth Mull (Glass) Crow was born July 11, 1932 in Cleveland, Ohio, the daughter of the late James W. and Helen (Faw) Mull. She was raised in the communities of Cleveland and Quincy, Illinois. Julia graduated from Quincy High School with the Class of 1950. Julia was an adventurous woman, who loved life and laughing. As a teenager, she learned to fly single wing airplanes. She was united in marriage to Robert L. Glass on June 6, 1952 in Quincy. Following their marriage they moved to Columbus, OH where they had their first child, then moved in 1955 to Sacramento, CA. In 1958 Julia had her second child, and in 1964 the family moved to Kent, WA. Julia and Robert were active in civil rights. Julia traveled to Korea to assist in bringing interracial orphans to homes in the US with Holt Adoption Agency, and the couple adopted two children themselves. They attended Primm Tabernacle AME Church for many years. Julia and Robert later divorced. She was married to Harold D. Crow in 1978 and later divorced. Julia then moved to the Puyallup community in 1989 and resided there until 2005. Julia was active in the hot air ballooning community, traveling to local and national events on a regular basis. Julia traveled to Ireland and Scotland; she went on a hot air balloon photo shoot in Africa; photos from which were later used as subjects in her many paintings. She vacationed and welcomed the turn of the century on a sheep ranch in New Zealand. Julia was a member of the Puyallup Nazarene Church in Puyallup, Washington. Julia was preceded in death by her parents, James and Helen Mull; her brothers, James W. Mull II, and Leon Davant Mull. She is survived by her children and their spouses, David and Julie Glass of North Plains, Oregon, Stephen Glass of Lynden, Washington, Carol Stewart of Kent, Washington and Holly and Dale Dowsing of Des Moines, Washington; her sister in law, Elaine Mull of Cleveland Heights, Ohio.

by the Thunderbirds and other events.â&#x20AC;? The Thunderbirds drew a total of 8,580 fans to the two playoff games. The Globetrotters two shows attracted 8,572 fans. Love on Ice drew 4,167 fans. The Thunderbirds advanced to the Western Hockey League playoffs for the first time in four years. They were eliminated by Kelowna in the first round. The T-Birds played one home playoff game in April that drew 4,344 fans and will count toward the second-quarter budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We budget the 36 regular season games plus the preseason so anything above and beyond with the playoffs is extra revenue for the building,â&#x20AC;? McCluskey said. The larger crowds mean more ticket revenue as well as more revenue from food and beverage sales ($22,215 over budget for the first
quarter). The Globetrotters usually do only one show in Kent. The two performances, on a Saturday afternoon and evening, each turned out to be hits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew it was in the budget as two events but we thought one might take away from the other but they both sold well so that helped out quite a bit,â&#x20AC;? McCluskey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Love on Ice with Barry Manilow sold very well, better than budget.â&#x20AC;? The arena lost $2.013 million during its first four years of operation, including a record-setting loss of $706,432 in 2012. SMG, which operates the facility, had projected a loss of $495,000 in 2013 at the start of this year. But with the profitable first quarter and an anticipated three or four major concerts in the last two quarters of this year,
the outlook appears to be positive. McCluskey expects the second quarter to hit budget with a big boost in the final two quarters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The third and fourth quarter with more concerts should, hopefully, push us over budget,â&#x20AC;? said McCluskey, who added that ShoWare general manager Tim Higgins is close to lining up some major concerts. Concerts help with profits through additional ticket sales, rent revenue and food and beverage sales. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good concert, people are buying a lot of food and beverages,â&#x20AC;? McCluskey said. Wolters agreed the future looks bright for the arena. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The building looks to be busy going forward,â&#x20AC;? Wolters said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very pleased that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing a real uptick in activity at the ShoWare Center and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting to show on the bottom line.â&#x20AC;?
Unforgettable Moments of Love on Ice show featuring singer Barry Manilow in January. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those three categories were the reason we were $75,000 over budget for event income,â&#x20AC;? McCluskey said. The income statement for the $84.5 million arena provided great news for city officials. The city sets aside money in its annual capital budget fund to cover the losses at the arena. That money could be used to help pay for improvements to city streets, facilities and other capital projects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very pleased,â&#x20AC;? said Ben Wolters, city economic and community development director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first quarter was a strong one for us. We had a lot of events that got a lot of attention for us from the Love on Ice with Barry Manilow to the playoff run

Schmidt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(And) thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Bob represented to us.â&#x20AC;? Schmidt worked more than 20 years at the Kent Fire Department. He previously worked as a grocer, property manager in Puyallup and landscaper. But in everything he did, Schmidt put family first. Working in the produce department of a grocery store before joining the fire service, Schmidt pulled some strings for his 19-year-old nephew, Lt. Jason Blachly, helping him get a job at the same location. Years later, when Blachly wanted to join the fire service like his Uncle Bob, Schmidt once again was there to help prepare him for interviews, advise him on procedure, and answer any questions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bob had a tremendous sense of family, and was always willing and eager to help,â&#x20AC;?

Many close friends and family members spoke at the service, and three slideshows projected on the walls of the church depicted photos of Schmidt as a young man, among friends at work, and spending time with his wife and children. Near the end of the service, the honor guard folded the flag draped across Schmidtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s casket and presented it to his wife. His badges also were given to each of his sons. Before the crowd left the church, Chaplain Lisa Ellis read an excerpt from the novel â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peter Panâ&#x20AC;? by J.M.

MOBILE AT KENTLAKE A simple question about a hat, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is that military?,â&#x20AC;? opened the door to a conversation between Kentlake Principal Joe Potts and a student in a math class. Within a minute Potts was engaged with all the students in the table group, asking them about the material and helping them through a math problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that boy before we went in,â&#x20AC;? Potts said in the hallway a few minutes later. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now I know his name. I know he goes duck hunting with his dad, and the next time I see him in the hallway I can talk to him about that.â&#x20AC;? The idea of a principal
giving up his office is an extremely relational one. Giving up his office means being out in the school. It means being in the hallways, in classrooms, in the cafeteria, and interacting with students and teachers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ask three people, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get three different answers,â&#x20AC;? Potts said of how he thinks he is seen within the school. However, to see him walking down the hallways during a passing time itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear that he is respected and liked by many, if not most, students. Greetings, handshakes and quick conversations are plentiful. He knows studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; names and he makes the time for them, pausing to ask or answer a question in the hall. He also is not afraid to call students out on dress code violations, being late to class and confiscate a rogue pair of headphones. Potts first heard about the Breakthrough Coach philosophy from Jeffrey Pelzel, the principal at Meeker Middle School, who moved out of his office five years ago. Potts also had heard about the Kent Elementary principal doing the same thing. Pottsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; secretary, Marie Wienker, has taken charge of managing Pottsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; calendar, answering his phone and organizing all the administrative paperwork.

The goal is to move toward more coaching and mentoring, in addition to observation, Potts said. And, of course, there is space available in the school should Potts need to hold meetings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Initially I was really skeptical. I like my office â&#x20AC;Ś but the bottom line is I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need the space,â&#x20AC;? Potts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more times you spend in classrooms, the more powerful the impact.â&#x20AC;? Ultimately, Potts said, the goal of the program is to help administrators be more efficient and effective leaders, coaches and teachers. Potts visits an average of 20 classrooms each day. Sometimes he spends five minutes in a classroom, sometimes he spends a half-hour. It just depends on what is going on in each class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve interacted with more kids in two hours, in this approach, then I used to in weeks,â&#x20AC;?

everything thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on in the classroom, (but) Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty good at multitasking.â&#x20AC;? Depending on the class, Barringer might walk around during independent work time and ask the students questions or stand next to a student who should be paying more attention. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we started this in November, we saw an increase in teachers stepping up their game (and) we saw a decrease in discipline,â&#x20AC;? Barringer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Kids) have a tendency to be a little bit more behaved when the suit walks in the room and sits in back.â&#x20AC;? For teachers and staff, this new model allows them to speak with the principal during passing periods or right after class instead of having to make an appointment with him in his office. Most were enthusiastic about the changes, yet some are still getting used to Barringer working without a private space. Luckily, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the principal and can find a quiet spot if need be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I need a space, I got space,â&#x20AC;? he joked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the principal.

The change has been good for Reichert and Barringer when it comes to reducing time spent after school. Now that all of his time is tightly scheduled and work carefully itemized, Barringer is able to head home around 4 p.m. most days to spend time with his family. The extra time also allowed Barringer and Reichert to start a new project they call their â&#x20AC;&#x153;contract kids.â&#x20AC;?

“Should we expand background checks for gun purchases?”
Dennis Box

Question of the week:
I had a vision about my job in the afterlife. I am not big on visions since I am very nearsighted, but forced yard work causes these events for me. I was diligently killing something in my yard when it happened. It was kind of a reincarnation job I should be perfectly suited for … a political bell ringer. I am not saying I necessarily buy into or out of the concept of reincarnation. The biggest problem I see with reincarnation is coming back. Most days the prospect of returning here seems like some sort of twisted torture, although maybe I could get certain things answered. That might be happier, if it is possible for Mr. Happy to get happier. Maybe I could find out why women do all those sparkly things to their fingernails and I never get to do anything like that without people chasing me with pitchforks. Maybe I could find out why women buy shoes with two straps for a large bucket of money and call it a hot deal. God probably can’t answer these questions. I can see God asking Michael, “What are those?” “Shoes, God.” “You’re kidding. Why doesn’t anyone ever tell me anything?” My twisted yardwork vision goes like this: when I kick off it will be like the first few days I was in Navy boot camp. We were allowed to go to bed about midnight after doing nothing. Then some very loud guys got us up and gave us a stupid test for hours. So in my vision I die and suddenly some grouchy guy in fake sandals wakes me up, gives me an essay test with a dull pencil and finally I am given a bell. My job is like that of Clarence in “It’s a Wonderful Life,” only altered … of course. (I doubt I get to be an angel. I think I am too cheery.) Every time some politician starts to do something dumb I will whack him with a bell. The poor political guy will glaze over for a minute, get a headache and mumble something like, “What was I saying?” No one will remember and the guy stays out of trouble. Everybody holds hands and sings. Ding dong! There’s a job I might be suited for – bell whacker. By the way, the job the Navy gave me after their test was … running psychiatric wards.

Bombing should not change our perspective on immigration reform As the Senate immigration reform debate continues, we must not let the attacks in Boston stifle the energy behind passing common-sense legislation. Even before the suspects were identified, there were calls for caution from senators who have traditionally opposed the bill. Xenophobia has been palpable in the streets. Language across social media platforms has turned benign followers into vitriolic fear machines. Washington would benefit tremendously from immigration reform and we know it. The labor shortage in the agricultural industry has been well-documented over the past few years. Providing a legal path to citizenship for our approximately 230,000 undocumented neighbors will offer needed workers for our labor-intensive industries. Thousands of talented young people brought here as children would immediately escape legal ambiguity and add a fresh jolt to our aging labor market. Families would be reunited, creating more stability within our society’s most valued institution. In King County, half the population growth over the last two decades has come from refugees and immigrants, with the overwhelming majority settling in South King County.
Letters policy The Kent Reporter welcomes letters to the editor on any subject. Letters must include a name, address and daytime phone number for verification purposes. Letters may be edited for length. Letters should be no more than 250 words in length. Submissions may be printed both in the paper and electronically. Deadline for letters to be considered for publication is 2 p.m. Tuesday.
Having worked with this population for years, I know firsthand the untold benefits of inviting more refugees and immigrants to our state. Resettlement programs attract millions of federal and state dollars to our communities each year. Entire apartment complexes in South King County have transformed from dilapidated, half-empty units into thriving epicenters of the American Dream. Our new neighbors have added valuable diversity to our schools and workplaces. They bring an entrepreneurial spirit to our city with needed skills and unique experiences. As someone who has placed hundreds of refugees into jobs, I can vouch that most are working and self-sufficient shortly after their arrival, paying taxes, buying homes and contributing to society. As President Obama noted
in his January speech on immigration, this is not about “us versus them” because “most of us used to be them.” The act of terror in Boston should not arrest our determination on this issue; rather, it should encourage us to push even harder. The most profound damage often wrought from acts of terror is not necessarily the destruction itself, but the aftermath of self-destructive division among Americans. We have seen what happened to our country after 9/11. After the dust of resiliency and resolve settled, more hate crimes and violence resurfaced. Our nation collectively retreated into our homes for fear of “the other” next door. We must not let immigration reform become another casualty of our own paralyzing insularity. We must not let terror win. – Stephen Johnson
An honest look at funding our roads I read with interest Sandra Gill’s letter to the editor regarding road-repair funding for the SE 256th Street project. Ms. Gill wrote an excellent and honest editorial on the city of Kent’s out-of-date and unfair methods of funding road improvements. SE 256th has been in need of improvements for 25 years. And now that the cost of construction and materials is at its highest ever, the city wants 224 property owners [ more LETTERS page 7 ]

is guided by her strong belief in the power of education and service for others. Her belief in her students and the work she puts into teaching resulted in Abrams being named the KSD 2014 Teacher of the Year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am truly humbled and
grateful for this honor,â&#x20AC;? Abrams said. The 15-year teaching veteran was nominated by her peers with input from parents and students. The nomination letter noted Abramsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ability to connect with students and tap their
talents and gifts to help them become successful. She also challenges her students each day to create their best work. One parent added that Abramsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; skills had a great impact on her daughters who had very different interests and abilities, and the family considers her the most influential educator in their lives. Abrams explained her philosophy regarding education by quoting a Chinese proverb. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People who say it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.â&#x20AC;? Abramsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; selection as the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teacher of the year means she is a candidate for regional teacher of the year within the Puget Sound Educational Service District, which serves 35 public school districts.

come tax would have to be designed and passed by the Legislature. Philanthropists would be allowed to deduct their charitable giving from their state income taxes. A group called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Voters Want More Choicesâ&#x20AC;? is now seeking to make it more difficult to raise taxes in Washington state. This group is directly responsible for the State of Washington to lose more than $20 billion since 1999. At the same time the State of Washington has gone more than $16 billion
into debt. Also each year the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population is rising about 70,000 a year.

Progressive income tax needed I believe one of the best investments that corporations and parents can make today is to invest in our students in Washington state. A moderately progressive income tax would provide a way for employees and parents to make this investment in an intelligent way. It would completely replace the current tax system.

Worry free color to plant now Geraniums, alyssum, petunias, calibrochoas, begonias, cordyline, swan river daisies, diascia, lobelia and more. These common annuals are tough enough to survive outdoors even if we get a late cold spell. There are plenty of other annuals that can go into containers this week with no problems and in general plants with thick, shiny or stiff foliage are less tender of prone to damage from cold or frost. But it is not safe for all plants â&#x20AC;Ś Tender plants to coddle a bit longer Coleus â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this is the flashy foliage plant with the brightly colored or leaves often enjoyed as houseplant. Coleus should be planted outdoors with caution this month. If you purchase coleus plants from a garden center where they have been growing outdoors but under

cover and you bring them home to a protected area near the house, your coleus might adapt just fine. Coleus planted directly into the cold ground after spending time in a heated greenhouse will pout, drop leaves, turn pale and commit suicide even if there is not a frost â&#x20AC;&#x201C; any time the temperature is near 40 degrees, coleus plants can have a meltdown. Basil â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Gourmet chefs need fresh basil and this easy to grow herb is full of nutrition and flavor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plant basil outdoors until mid June. This heat-loving herb may survive the cold nights of May but it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be happy about it. As a result your basil plant will punish you all summer with lack luster growth and a dismal attitude. Buy basil plants this month but enjoy them indoors sitting on the kitchen counter near a bright window. Harvest the fresh leaves and enjoy in sandwiches, salads and soup. Pamper the plants by letting them sit in the sunshine outdoors on warm days. Just be sure to move them indoors at night if the temps are 4o degrees or less. Tomatoes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Nope, it is not safe to set all tomato plants outdoors just yet. Just like basil, egg plant and peppers, tomatoes are heat-lovers and even if they do survive the cold nights that we get in May, tomato plants will remember the insult like a cold slap in the face. Warm season vegetables like tomatoes will just stop growing and become stunted if you set them out too soon. Better to purchase your tomato plants in the month of June or keep your Marianne Binetti
We are all going to be very busy in the lusty month of May. Time for color, time for planting most annuals and bedding plants, time to fertilize roses, perennials and young vegetable starts and time to buy a new pair of gardening gloves â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this is the month for planting, weeding, feeding, seeding and pleading with the weather. Plant annuals now â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with a few words of caution. Most annuals or bedding plants can safely go outdoors this week especially hanging baskets and plants put into pots and kept close to warmth of the house or under the cover of a roof eave.

young plants close to the house and haul them under cover at night. A practical way to get an early start is to group potted tomato plants in a wagon or wheel barrow and then move the collection into a garage or garden shed when it becomes cold or rainy. Patio tropics â&#x20AC;&#x201C; bougainvillea, mandevilla, tender hibiscus You can find exciting and colorful bloomers at nurseries this month potted up in large containers and full of exotic, tropical blooms. Sometimes called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Patio Tropicsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; these bodacious bloomers wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t survive the winter but they can be enjoyed all summer long in their original containe â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no transplanting required. Patio tropics offer instant, vibrant color for a patio or deck. Just remember that these are also warm season plants so if you invest in

final regular season game on Wednesday with Kentwood. Results were unavailable at
press time. The Chargers returned five girls this season, including center fielder Anna Dugan and pitcher Lizzet Dominguez. Both are captains of the team. “They’ve just grown as leaders,” Simonson said, “and they help this team just do what’s right and work as a team. They keep it to where everybody is having fun, everybody fits in, and we do this all as a team.” Dominguez, who’s pitched a total of 89.2 innings, helped the Chargers beat Kentlake 7-2 last week. She struck out seven. Dugan, batting .367, scored two runs against Auburn Riverside last week, helping the Chargers sweep the Ravens, 10-0. Other returners include shortstop Bri Drury, second baseman Jessica Torlai and catcher Emily Ross. “Their goals were to fin-
loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. At the relay, teams of people camp out and take turns walking or running around a track. The Relay for Life began in 1985 when Dr. Gordy Klatt, a colorectal surgeon in Tacoma, ran and walked around a track for 24 hours to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Since then, the event has grown into the world’s largest movement to end the disease. Each year, more than 3.5 million people in 5,000 communities in the United States, along with additional communities in 20 other countries, gather raise money for cancer research.

ish one or two in league,” Simonson said. “Our offensive goal was to hit .325 as a team, and we had a defensive goal to keep it below two errors a game. So far, we’re meeting them all.” The fight isn’t quite over for the Chargers. They wrapped up the regular season this week and then the playoffs start. Simonson is confident they can push through. “They’re just positive, energetic and fun,” Simonson said. “And they’re competitive and want to win.” Tahoma won the SPSL North with a 16-0 record. Jefferson, Kentlake and Mount Rainier were in a tight race this week for third behind Kentridge. Kentwood had a 7-8 record going into its final regular season game against the Chargers. Kent-Meridian had yet to win a league game.

Sikh community to celebrate Vaisakhi Day BY SHAMSHIR KAUR For the Kent Reporter
Vaisakhi is a Sikh holy day celebrated by about 24 million Sikhs throughout the world. Washington has about 50,000 Sikhs, with the majority residing in Kent and Renton. The Sikh community celebrates Vaisakhi 2013 Day of Empowerment – a festival filled with music, programs, exhibits and a parade
– on Saturday at the ShoWare Center, 625 W. James St. The annual Nagar Kirtan, a Sikh processional custom, is held on behalf of the Gurdwara (place of worship) Singh Sabha of Renton. The public is invited. Sikh devotional music begins at 8 a.m. and continues until 11:30 a.m. Programs will be available in English and in the Punjabi language from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. A parade follows from 2 to 4 p.m.
A gallery of community artifacts, which covers 100 years of Sikh history in the Pacific Northwest, is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. A Sikh Military Heritage Exhibit, featuring the Victory Medal of Pvt. Buckam Singh, the only known surviving Sikh soldier from World War I, among other items, will be on display. Representatives from several educational institutions also will be in attendance to provide infor-
mation on academic issues and opportunities, including the Kent School District, Seattle University, Renton Technical College, and Highline Community College. The date falls around April 13 or 14 but many cities choose to celebrate on different weekends due to scheduling conflicts. The day’s main focus is the Nagar Kirtan, a parade, in which thousands of people proceed through the streets. They sing hymns from a
sacred book of worship known as Guru Granth Sahib Ji, the Sikhs’ most ultimate holy scripture. In the year 1699, the 10th Guru Gobind Singh Ji stood before a crowd and asked who was ready to give their lives for the cause of religion. Five men volunteered, but Guru Gobind Singh Ji did not sacrifice them; instead, he baptized them. Those men became the first five members of the Khalsa Panth (The Order of the Pure Ones). The tradition of Sikh baptism during the Vaisakhi festival originated from the historic event.
