Watch D.O.G.S. program encourages dads to volunteer in schools BY MICHELLE CONERLY mconerly@kentreporter.com

Faster than a speeding kickball, more powerful than a Tonka truck and able to leapfrog two firstgraders in a single bound, the Watch D.O.G.S., a special group of volunteer dads, are gaining recognition throughout the Kent School District. Created by the National Center For Fathering, the Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads Of Great Students) program began in 1998 as a way to involve positive male role models in school activities. Spreading throughout the country, the program reached the school district a few years ago as one by one, eight individual elementary schools – Soos Creek, Covington, Fairwood, Park Orchard, [ more DADS page 4 ]

SURVIVING, SAILING THROUGH HOSTILE WATERS Local man looks back on a long, fortuitous career in the Navy BY MARK KLAAS mklaas@kentreporter.com
As a young Navy machinist caught in the coils of World War II, Tony Mola looked his ter-
rifying enemy in the eyes more times than he cares to remember. Danger, dismemberment and death seemed to await Mola and his fellow sailors at every turn. But that day in 1945 aboard
the USS William Seiverling, a destroyer escort positioned off the Japanese island of Okinawa in 1945, that day is in a class of terror all by itself. Heading to the bow of the
ship to make some repairs that morning, Mola heard something buzzing in the skies right over his head. He looked up. “A kamikaze was coming at me. I could see the pilot. He was that close. Someone then yelled, ‘Look out, Tony, look out.’ … But fortunately, he didn’t hit us. He swerved and hit one of the destroyers … we were lucky,” Mola said. [ more MOLA page 4 ]

Gov. Jay Inslee made a quick stop last week in Kent to pump up South Sound politicians and business leaders about the importance for the Legislature to pass a transportation funding package during the special session
that started this week. Inslee’s pushing a plan that would include the Interstate 5 projects to extend State Route 509 from SeaTac to Kent and complete State Route 167 between Puyallup and the Port of Tacoma. “We have a huge center of economic growth potential in the South Sound, if and when we take the next step forward with transportation,” Inslee said to a May 17 luncheon gathering of the South Sound Chambers of Commerce Legislative Coalition at the Golden
Steer Steak N Rib House. The coalition includes representatives from Chamber of Commerces in Kent, Auburn, Renton, Federal Way, Covington, Tukwila, Puyallup and Fife. Inslee supports a 10-cent increase per gallon in the state gas tax to help raise part of an estimated $10 billion needed to fund the transportation package. – Steve Hunter

Police arrest NBA player Williams for assault
KING COUNTY OKS LEVEE REPAIR DEAL WITH KENT The King County Flood Control District Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Monday to move ahead with repairs to the Briscoe Desimone Levee along the Green River by approving an agreement with the city of Kent to construct the project. The levee stretches from South 180th Street to South 200th Street. While Kent will oversee the repairs, the state grant and flood district funds will cover the $17 million project.

Kent Police arrested NBA player Terrence Williams on Sunday for investigation of second-degree assault domestic violence when he allegedly displayed a handgun to a woman during a scheduled visitation exchange of their 10-yearold son. Williams appeared Monday for a bail hearing in King County Superior Court at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center (RJC) in Kent. Judge Charles Delaurenti set bail at $25,000. Williams posted bail Monday evening at the King County Jail at RJC, according to jail records. He was scheduled to return to court Wednesday, after the Kent Reporter’s press deadline. Prosectors had not yet filed formal charges. “We won’t be making a charging decision today (Wednesday),” said Dan Donohoe, spokesman for the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, in an email. “There will be ongoing investigation and

The woman reported that during the argument Williams brandished a firearm and made threats. Williams left the area prior to police arrival, but was later located and taken into custody at about 11:30 p.m. Sunday in Renton. Williams was not armed when police found him. Officers described Williams as 6 feet 6 inches with tats on both arms. “We investigate and treat all cases such as this very seriously regardless of the status of those involved,” said detective Melanie Frazier. Detectives have interviewed witnesses and are still investigating the case. When asked whether a gun belonging to Williams had been found or if search warrants executed at his Maple Valley home or vehicle, Frazier said there would be no further information to report at this time.

able cause documents, the mother of the boy came outside with her current boyfriend and wanted to talk to Williams about some disparaging remarks he had made in the past about her other children. Williams initially refused to get out of the vehicle, so the woman started banging on his hood, insisting that they talk. While seated in the vehicle, Williams reportedly pulled out a handgun, stuck it out the driver’s side window and aimed it at the mother. As the mother backed away, he drove forward and waved the gun out of the window as he drove out of the parking lot. Williams later told detectives that he drove to the complex to drop his son off. When he arrived in the parking lot, he said the woman’s boyfriend approached his vehicle. Williams said then the mother of his child started to kick the front of his vehicle. He added that another subject started to approach the vehicle from the passenger side, so he felt threatened and pulled out his gun.
“It has been my honor to represent the progressive voice of the people, who call Kent home,” Albertson said in an email. “I have enjoyed serving my community over the last eight years as your city council representative.” If State Rep. Dave Upthegrove, D-Des Moines, is successful this year in his race for the Distrct 5 seat on the King County Council, Albertson plans to seek the appointment to replace Upthegrove, who has one year left in his two-year term.

Throughout the day, the Watch D.O.G. can find himself in any classroom in the building, testing students with flashcards or pulling kids out for individual reading time. “I always have them in there trying to work with kids,� said Cindy McMullen, primary school teacher at Soos Creek.

The school schedules each Watch D.O.G. to eat lunch with his child and most men play at every recess. “It reminds me of when I was in elementary school,� McIntyre said. “And I get to be a kid again.� McIntyre says his involvement in the Watch D.O.G.S. program has spilled out into the community.

the machine shop. Drafted, the Navy tapped into his skills, sending him to the University of Kansas to study engineering. Sent overseas, he was stationed off the coasts of many countries and islands in the Pacific Theater, including Australia, New Zealand, Guadalcanal, Fiji, the Philippines and Okinawa. Supporting ground troops or the Navy’s larger warships, Mola and the men often were under attack in those areas. Off Guadalcanal, Mola was aboard the USS Zebra, a cargo vessel, when it was struck by a torpedo but refused to sink. Off New Caledonia, Mola was assigned to a ship that installed anti-submarine nets around the harbors to protect ship from Japanese torpedoes. They encountered mines and even towed one out of harm’s way. At Okinawa, Mola and the Navy met frequent fire while the USS Seiverling performed picket duty around the island – preventing the enemy from landing on the island from the seaside and
protecting U.S. troops by laying down a smokescreen so the Japanese couldn’t spot American ships. Nighttime bombing raids were common. “They were like bees. There were swarms of them,� Mola said. “If you were scared, you really didn’t know because you had a job to do.� One night, a Japanese bomber swooped and dropped a flare on the target, Mola’s ship. The enemy made another pass to drop a bomb but it missed the ship. Once the first flare went out, the bomber made another pass to drop a second flare. “He was going to get us that time,� Mola recalled, “but something happened. The flare hooked onto its tail. Isn’t that something? We were lucky.� The bomber, illuminated by its own flare, became an easy target for the ship’s guns and was shot down. Once the island was secure, the USS Seiverling did patrol duty, then joined the large Naval fleet as it entered Tokyo Bay to meet the surrendered Japanese. Mola and the ship
were in the harbor alongside the USS Missouri, on which the peace treaty was officially signed on Sept. 2, 1945. After the war Mola decided to stay on. He served but was never called to arms during the Korean and Vietnam wars. He served until he was 60. In his lifetime, he married, helped raise two children and opened a business. He stays close to his fellow veterans, visits Auburn for Sons of Italy meetings and plans to rejoin his friends when the USS Seiverling celebrates its 49th reunion in South Carolina this summer. Mola is one the few remaining veterans alive today who served on the ship during WWII. He treasured his life in the Navy, and wouldn’t change a thing. “The Marines got the glory, the Army did the work and the Navy had the fun,â€? he said with a grin. “The minute I joined the Navy, it was frightening. Let’s put it that way,â€? he said. “But I enjoyed it. ‌ All kinds of duty.â€? And all kinds of experiences worth retelling.

www.kentreporter.com “I didn’t get 4 percent but I’m very happy they met us halfway at 7 percent,” said Younker about the tax cut that starts in July. “It really helps in relief of a tax that we have on top of other taxes.” The casino paid a gambling tax of $338,000 in 2012 and $342,000 in 2011, John Hodgson, city chief administrative officer, told the council. The 4 percent reduction will cut the tax by about $120,000 per year. The new rate is effective until Dec. 31, 2016. “They’re trying to remain competitive in a very competitive market between the surrounding cities and (Native American) nations,” said Councilman Les Thomas, who asked for the proposal to be placed on the agenda after Council President Dennis Higgins removed the item from a vote in April because of a lack of four votes needed for adoption. “We found out (from city staff) that we do receive the money but that amount is taken away
how much money the state gives to the city through the annexation program. “I don’t know with the $120,000 (per year) we will reach that or not,” Hodgson said. “There is a cap on how much we get mitigated.” Hodgson said the city already submitted mitigation requests to the state for the 2013-14 budget, so the city will see reduced gambling revenue (of about $120,000) for the final six months of this year and first six months of 2014 that the state won’t cover. Thomas, Higgins, Jamie Perry and Dana Ralph voted for the gambling tax cut. Elizabeth Albertson and Bill Boyce were against the cut. Councilwoman Deborah Ranniger had an excused absence from the meeting. “This tax reduction has no affect whatsoever on our bottom line,” Perry said. “All of the money we collect essentially gets taken out of what we collect from the state in annexation money. By us lowering this tax rate, there will be a zero
dollar impact to our actual budget. For that reason, I support this.” Albertson said she was against the tax cut because “I don’t think it’s fair to just single out one business for a tax break and a housebanked card room is not a city necessity like a denture clinic for low-income seniors that if we didn’t fund it bad things would happen in Kent.” Boyce said he didn’t want to take any revenue off the table and he struggled with reasons why the city should help this one business in tough economic times while other businesses also struggle. He also voiced concerns about losing the $120,000 before the state mitigation money kicks in. Higgins said it was important to help protect the 100 jobs at the casino, jobs that would be lost if the casino had to close or moved out of town. The council wondered whether the casino pays the city’s new business and occupation (B&O) tax, and city staff thought it didn’t
pay because of a gambling tax exemption. But Younker said the casino does pay a B&O tax. She also knew about the state mitigation money. “The city will ask for that money from the state, so it will get the money anyway,” Younker said. State officials said the city can change tax rates and still get the annexation sales tax funds. Mike Gowrylow, spokesman for the state Department of Revenue, said the state “accepts the threshold figures that the city supplies

Forterra has hired Tim Farrell as its new Chief Program Officer (CPO). Drawing on his experience in the public and private sector, Farrell will lead the Policy, Conservation and Stewardship departments as a key member of the Executive Leadership Team.

After leaving the Port, Farrell worked for three years in real estate investment, development and property and asset management in single-family and multifamily infill and rehabilitation projects. The experience will be a valuable addition to Forterra’s urban development
and rural conservation work. “In both real estate and at the Port, I worked to make my communities great places to live and work,” Farrell said. “Forterra’s vision of spectacular landscapes, a vibrant economy and great places to live strongly resonates with me and the Chief Program Officer position presents an opportunity to bring my skills, experience and urgency to the larger realm of this long-term vision.”
and calculates the sales tax credit based on it. The RCW (Revised Code of Washington) does not prohibit the city from changing its tax rates on gambling or other activities, so that is a variable that can affect threshold calculations.” Gowrylow said it is up to the city to follow the RCW governing the program. He added the annexation program speaks to “general revenue” but the law doesn’t define general revenue, and gambling tax revenue could be interpreted as falling under general revenue.

The city certifies an amount each year of the difference between expenses in the annexation area and anticipated revenues from property taxes, sales taxes and other sources, including the gambling tax. City officials projected $11.7 million in annexation area service costs for July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014 and about $8 million in revenue to come up with the $3.7 million amount. “We collect the money, it’s ours,” Hodgson said. “But because the area doesn’t generate enough money to cover the costs of operating, the state for 10 years gives us a certain amount of mitigation money. We’re going to get mitigated for the next seven years.” Hodgson added that the state does have a cap on

COMMENTARY
?
“Do you approve of the way Obama is performing as president?”
Elizabeth Albertson
Question of the week:
At the beginning of the 19th century when automobiles first began using the nation’s system of dirt and cobblestone roads, cities were tasked with improving these roads so they’d be passable by automobiles. It wasn’t a surprise that when these same dirt roads were improved with concrete or asphalt there was a corresponding increase in the property values of the adjoining properties. Arterial streets such as Highway 99 became a thoroughfare that attracted gas stations, motels and other high-density uses including apartments. These properties profited from the increased value brought by the road improvements and, they were assessed to help pay for the road improvements that brought them a special benefit. This is the fundamental purpose of a road Local Improvement District (LID), and they are not a new concept. In fact, everyone who drives in Kent drives on streets that were partially paid for by an LID. Since 1909, 200 LID’s have been formed to help pay for road construction projects. And, more than 25,000 property owners have specifically contributed to their costs. One of the most recent LIDs formed was to help improve 116th Street from Kent Kangley to 256th Street. It was widened with new curbs, sidewalks, storm drains, underground power and new street lighting, making it a safer and more attractive area for residents and commuters. This improvement is right around the corner from the proposed LID for 256th Street. The hundreds of school children and other pedestrians who walk on the side of the road between Kent Kangley and 116th Street deserve to be safe like their neighbors around the corner. The out-of-area owners of five major apartment complexes with more than 1,100 units would have paid $1.335 million toward this improvement in front of their complexes. The average home or condominium owner would have paid $235 per year. Kent has been recognized by a national expert in the efficient use of LIDs to fund transportation projects. That expert also noted it was because of the use of LIDs Kent was able to get grant dollars where other communities have failed. I understand no driver enjoys paying for the roads they use, that’s exactly why road projects have to be funded in a variety of ways. Besides a local improvement assessment, which is usually a smaller portion of the total cost, (in the case of 256th Street it would [ more ALBERTSON page 7 ]

A need for pro-homeowner candidates The current Kent City Council is loaded with pro-business/ anti-homeowner members. Councilmembers Ralph, Albertson, Thomas, Boyce, and Council President Dennis Higgins consistently vote in ways that favor businesses and burden homeowners. The major case in point is the hard-fought enactment of a business and occupation (B&O) tax to fund repairs to our badly damaged streets and roads. That damage is the direct result of Kent’s huge number of 16- and 18-wheelers that businesses use to distribute their wares. The Kent Valley is the fourth largest small-industrial manufacturing center in the United States. Our streets and roads are punished daily by these huge trucks. The Chamber of Commerce lobbied the Council to include many exemptions and loopholes into the B&O small print – reducing the amount of revenue the city needs to adequately repair city streets. The Chamber also dictated to the Council that B&O funds only be used for roads and streets on the Valley floor. Then came the fight over improvement to the 256th Street area, when home and property owners followed the Council’s petition guidelines to overturn the local improvement district (LID) imposition of over $2 million dollars in assessments.
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. In spite of the successful petition, members of the Council (led by business owner Dana Ralph, Elizabeth Albertson, and Dennis Higgins) suggested to the rest of the Council that they overlook the petition and impose another LID on these home and property owners, requiring them to submit a petition (for the third time), to protest this assessment. To their credit, Councilmembers Perry and Ranniger objected to overturning this second duly-submitted petition and imposing a new LID. Pro-business members would rather burden homeowners than increase the B&O and collect increased revenue from the offending businesses that tear up our roads. The current City Council consists of too many pro-business members. We need prodemocracy candidates who will uphold their oath to represent
the interest of all Kent citizens – not just business owners. The current members are far too cozy with business interests led by the powerful chamber of commerce. The B&O tax can provide substantial revenue to keep our roads and streets repaired. All the council needs to do is increase the rate assessed from business owners, eliminate most of the loopholes, and reduce the number of big businesses which have been exempted from taxation. The council has become too fond of turning to homeowning taxpayers for every city need. The businesses who ravage our streets need to be responsible for repairing them. Kent taxpayers are sick of the city burdening us with taxation without fair representation. I encourage young, informed, educated men and women to run for a seat on our city government. We need your vigorous advocacy to provide fair and just governance instead of us suffering under a governing body that increasingly serves the interests of rich, influential business interests in the city. – Sandra Gill

Unable to secure enough sponsorships, organizers decided to cancel the third annual “So You Think Kent Has Talent!” competition. The finals were scheduled for June 2 at the Kent-Meridian Performing Arts Center. All proceeds were to benefit Wings of Karen, a local breast cancer research effort.
[ LETTERS from page 6 ] themselves, comment on Kent’s B&O tax. The conclusion? Many are moving their businesses to other valley cities (i.e. Sumner, Auburn, Puyallup) when their current lease is up. Most of these businesses are large warehouses who are being hit especially hard. In this economic climate with rent going up, taxes climbing, high employee expenses for the employer, this will most likely be the final nail in the coffin for these businesses to remain in Kent. It’s easy to come up with creative taxes that may produce short-term gains for the city. For the long-range outlook, the most likely scenario will be that Kent will actually lose revenue from this unfair tax.
“I regret to inform you that (the show) will not be able to take place this year,” Tonya Goodwillie, owner of the Allegro Performing Arts Academy in Kent and event coordinator, wrote on her dance studio’s website. “We are not able to get the sponsorships that we need to be able to continue. Baldwin Chiropractic, Nigel Cooper Photography and Intimate Pilates did sign on to sponsor this year but we were in need of much more. We thank them deeply for their support.”
It’s bad enough that Washington state already has a B&O tax that has been proven to be bad for business. We business owners have enough to worry about already in this economy, and now we have to worry about this. – Robert Albrecht
Property owners not at fault Should property owners along Southeast 256th help pay for street improvements? The property owners along SE 256th are already helping to pay for street improvements with their property tax, with the gas tax and with sales tax. And now with a B&O tax. It is not their fault that the city of Kent decided to
Goodwillie hopes the competition will return next year. “I am not giving up on it,” she said. “I hope to organize it for next year.” The show has raised nearly $5,000 for the Kent Youth and Family Services the past two years.

spend transportation improvement funds on other non-related projects over the years, nor is it the fault of any Kent resident. If the city doesn’t get enough funding from the current property or gas tax to use for street repairs and maintenance then the council needs to figure out how to get more money back from the state and county to resolve that issue rather than discuss having property owners along SE 256th pay even more. If the city can charge extra taxes for street repairs/ maintenance to property owners on SE 256th, the flood gates will open and all property owners will end up paying for street repairs and construction. This issue should not be an option. – Debbie Morfeld
[ ALBERTSON from page 6 ] have been about 28 percent) the remainder is usually paid with gas taxes. New business or housing developments also pay a small percentage through impact fees, spreading the cost to the local beneficiaries as well as the drivers just passing through. This is how local governments have paid, and continue to pay for expensive, but needed, road improvements. When a project includes a combination of funding sources, such
as an LID, the public endeavor becomes more likely to receive grants to help pay for their construction. These grants are awarded on a competitive basis and they’re difficult to get. And the end of the day, we need to remember these grants include state and federal taxes we’ve already paid that can be kept here at home. It is a win win. The apartments, businesses and property owners profit by having higher values for their customers, tenants or occupants, and drivers benefit by having their state or federal tax dollars used for a safer,
smoother commute. Ultimately, our community as a whole benefits by having a safer, welllit transportation and sidewalk system for school children, bus patrons and drivers. So, when the funding partnership is not realized, we can’t complete the work. Essentially, we hand those state and federal dollars over to another community. I don’t believe that’s what anyone wants.

Children as Beneficiaries of a Qualified Plan Parents of minor children may be tempted to name the children as beneficiary of a qualified plan like an I.R.A. or a 401k plan. But until the children attain age 18, the account will be held in a guardianship making it difficult to provide for their needs. It is best to designate as beneficiary a trust for the benefit of the children as established in the parents’ Will. For children of legal age, the children can be designated as beneficiary so they can “roll-over” to a “stretch I.R.A.” and be able to recognize the income tax over their life expectancy.

Health care professionals and medical facilities will soon be able to donate unused, unopened prescription drugs for distribution to people without health insurance, thanks to legislation signed into law late last week by Gov. Jay Inslee. “Every day, we dispose of valuable prescription drugs simply because their recipients have died or no longer need the prescriptions, and meanwhile Keiser there are people going without medication simply because they cannot afford it,” said Sen. Karen Keiser, D-Kent, the sponsor of Senate Bill 5148. “This will provide vital drugs for people who cannot afford them, provided the drugs have not been opened and are still sealed and still well within their expiration dates.” Keiser developed the legislation after learning – while serving on the board of a local nursing home – that current law requires that unused prescription drugs must be discarded. “Thousands of dollars of perfectly usable unopened drugs are thrown away every month now,” she said. “It is a huge waste of valuable medicines that will save thousands of dollars in prescription drug costs.” Keiser’s legislation allows
health care practitioners, pharmacists, medical facilities, drug manufacturers and drug wholesalers to donate prescription drugs and supplies to pharmacies for redistribution, under strict controls. The drugs or supplies must be inspected before

Marianne Binetti
The fourth week of May means it is time for some pruning if you have spring flowering shrubs such as rhododendrons, forsythia, quince or viburnums that have already bloomed. You can shear azaleas and heathers back by a few inches all over the plant to encourage more branching and more flowers. You can control overgrown
mulching mower that will chop those grass blades into tiny pieces that can fall back into the soil. Incredible edibles There is good eating ahead of anyone that visits a nursery this month as some new plants are available that will make you rethink how you enjoy your landscape – and eat your meals.
Raspberry Shortcake – a compact plant perfect for containers This new raspberry plant does not need a pollinator, will not sprout wild vines that need supports and is happy contained in a pot. The berries are full sized and ready to harvest the first summer so that even apartment dwellers with just a bit of a sunny deck or patio can be enjoying the fruits of very little labor.

Q. My new house sits on an empty lot and I am overwhelmed about where to start landscaping. What one piece of advice would you give to someone new to the area – or new to gardening? N.M., Woodinville A. Start at the front door - and work your way all around the house. By breaking a landscaping project up into smaller chunks you can slowly envision and design separate areas as smaller gardens. Once you add some pots of color near the front door and you’ll feel a sense of accomplishment. Then choose small and compact evergreens to spread around the property. Evergreens will make up the winter skeleton of the landscape. Fill in with flowering shrubs and small trees arranged in layers around the house. Finally add groundcovers and splashes of color. To learn more about what to plant where, pay attention to the plants that do well your neighbor’s landscape, visit public gardens and go on lots of garden tours this summer. (The Enumclaw Garden Tour is June 22) Creating a landscape or garden will open the door to a whole new way of finding beauty in the world. Marianne Binetti has a degree in horticulture from Washington State University and is the author of “Easy Answers for Great Gardens” and several other books.

programs commonly found in most gyms today. As a personal fitness trainer, Doerge understands how a cross-fit approach can do a body good. “It burns so many calories. It works your core because you’re twisting a lot on every punch, every kick,” he said. “You’re using your whole body, you’re not just isolating body parts, so you get strong and in good condition. It’s an all-around good way to get in shape.” While Doerge looks the part of a seasoned fighter, his gym offers more than just sparring and kickbox-
ing. It is replete with free weights, machine weights and cardio equipment. “A lot of people are intimidated to walk through in the door because they think you’ve got to be a fighter to do it when it’s not the case,” said Doerge, who was born in Olympia and grew up in Washington and Arizona. Doerge tailors workouts to fit an individual’s needs, young or old. Some customers come for simple exercise, others for lessons in self-defense. He does one-on-one and group sessions. He also
coaches anyone who wants to compete on his Six Feet Under MMA Fight Team. Having performed as a fighter and trained other professionals, including former Seahawks linebacker Leroy Hill, for other gym owners in the Seattle area for years, Doerge said he was ready to run his own show. He is excited about the possibilities at his Kent spot. One of Doerge’s happy customers is a competitive 60-year-old man. “He trains in kickboxing. It’s helped him tremendously,” Doerge said. “He loves it. … He’s a gamer.”

KENTRIDGE, KENTLAKE FALL IN DISTRICT SOFTBALL PLAYOFFS The Tahoma High fastpitch softball team knocked off Kentridge 18-2 and Kentlake 9-3 in consecutive loser-out games at the West Central District 4A tournament last weekend. With the win over the Falcons – a game pushed back to Monday after rain swept through Spanaway the afternoon of May 17 then returned the next morning – Monday afternoon the Bears earned their third straight trip to state. Facing elimination, the Bears pounded the Chargers, breaking up a 2-2 tie in the top of the second with four runs followed by a three run inning in the third before things got ugly in the top of the fifth. Tahoma scored nine runs in the fifth and sent 11 batters to the plate. Against Kentlake, a pair of freshmen led Tahoma at the plate as Mia Corbin went 2-for3 with a double while Delaney Nelson was 2-for-3 with a pair of triples and four RBIs. Freshman pitcher Carley Nance pitched a complete game and struck out six. Ashley Starke, a senior who will play at Green River Community College next year, was 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBIs for Kentlake.
Kentridge’s Kevin Hall has been mastering his hurdling technique all season long, and at last Saturday’s West Central District track and field meet at French Field, the crowd witnessed how much his efforts have paid off. Hall placed second in the 300-meter intermediate hurdles (39.55 seconds) and third in the 110 high hurdles (14.76). Although not his best times – 14.38 and 38.53 remain his standards – he hopes to grab a top spot at the state meet this weekend in Tacoma. The state Class 4A championships got under way Thursday and continues Friday and Saturday at Mount Tahoma High School. Hall and his teammates are poised for a breakout finish. “I’m ready for it,” Hall said. Right on his heels is teammate Bralen Westendorf who placed fourth in 110 hurdles (14.77) last weekend. Hall and Westendorf will see a familiar opponent in the starting blocks this weekend. Kent-Meridian’s Abu Kamara, despite running with micro tears in his left hamstring, finished second in the 110 hurdles (14.65) at district to earn a state berth. Kamara was absent for 300 hurdles, even though he qualified at the South Puget Sound League meet two weeks ago. This weekend’s pole vault field will have an East Hill flavor. With K-M’s Josh Smith taking the number two spot and K-M’s Brad Foster and Kentridge’s Jake Philpott tying for the No. 3 spot at the district meet, an intense matchup is expected as all three boys vie to place at state.
Although growing up side by side, these girls didn’t turn out to be carbon copies of the other, not by any means. But the one place both girls know they can come together – besides the dorm room they’ll share this fall – is on the soccer field where they will play NCAA Division II soccer at Central Washington University. When picking schools, the girls wanted to attend
Kentwood baseball is two wins away from another Class 4A state high school championship trophy. First Kentwood has to get through South Kitsap – which beat up on the Conquerors in the district tournament with a fiveinning, 11-1 victory. Kentwood plays South Kitsap at 4 p.m. Friday in the semifinals at GESA Stadium in Pasco. On the other side of the bracket, Kentridge knocked off the host Richland Bombers 10-8 in the morning game May 18 with Zach Beatty hitting a grand slam. The Chargers then beat Cascade 6-1 as pitcher Sam Dacus fired a one-hitter, and Dumit Malacon hit two home runs, earning Kentridge a spot in the semifinals against Skyview of Vancouver at 7 p.m. Friday in Pasco. Dacus will return to the mound on Saturday, while Jeremy Rabaliuman will pitch against Skyview. This is the second straight state appearance for Kentridge, which was eliminated in the first round a year ago. Prior to 2012, the Chargers had not made it to the state baseball tournament since 2003, and has one trophy to their name in school history – a third-place finish in 1991. “It is awesome (to be in the final four and) a

Kentwood’s Beth Parrish soars to first place in the pole vault at the 4A West Central District meet. RACHEL CIAMPI, Reporter Philpott has already proven himself to be a fierce and focused competitor. He went 13 feet, 3 inches this season to break the school’s sophomore vault record set by Gary White in 1976. For the girls, Kentridge’s Kiki Gilbert finished third in the javelin with a throw of 121-2. In the state pole vault, K-M’s Juliana Adams will join Kentwood’s Beth Parrish, who soared to the district title by clearing 11 feet. Adams followed with a 10-6 effort. Alizhae Hillsman-Shedwin will represent Kent-Meridian in the 200 this weekend and lead the Royals’ 400 relay alongside a team of Jenica Rogers, Keeley Phommathirath, Ashlei Robinson, Stephanie O’Hara or Deedra Patterson. The relay team finished third at district but hopes to come away with a top finish.

Stephanie qualified for state in last week’s West Central District track meet in the 400-meter dash and 400 relay while Jestann won a gambling awareness poster contest with a $250 prize and played Kim MacAfee in the school’s rendition of “Bye Bye Birdie”.

Flanigan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will try to score more runs than them this time.â&#x20AC;? In order to earn a trip to the final four, Kentwood beat Bothell and Olympia on May 18 at Everett Memorial Stadium. Though the Conks came away with the 4-3 win in the morning game against the Cougars, it was a battle to the end. Both teams scored two runs in the
fourth inning. Kentwood scored again in the bottom of the fifth to go up 3-2. In the sixth both the Conks and the Cougars scored a run apiece, but, that extra run in the fifth held up for Kentwood. The Conks put up seven hits including three separate players hitting RBI doubles. Spencer Greene went 2-for-2 at the plate against Bothell with a double and an RBI while Kramer Sims was 1-for-3 with an RBI. Kade Kryzsko was 1-for-2 with a double, a stolen base and an RBI while Tanner Wessling had a double and an RBI.

It’s All About
SERVICE
Fast. Professional. Friendly. Q/A | with David Brown – Owner, Fox Plumbing & Heating “How did Fox Plumbing & Heating get started?”
Q
:
A
: Virgil Fox started the company in 1964; even as a young man, I loved “hands on work” and was proud to be a tradesman. I joined the company in 1973 and thrived in the environment of high standards and hard work. By 1979 I was half owner of the company, purchasing it in its entirety in 1983. I was dedicated to the value of quality service at a fair price and understood the importance of keeping every customer, since then I’ve expanded but maintained our deep commitment to integrity and quality work. Our customers tell us time and time again that we are the most trustworthy plumbing service in King County.
plumbing services do you offer? And do you do both repair and installaQ “What tion?” :
A
: If it has to do with pipes and water, we have the skilled workforce to both fix ailing systems and install new systems. We work in old and new homes as well as in businesses and commercial environments – we are experts in fixing old systems. We’re not always looking to sell people something new; if it can be fixed we fix it. We offer a full range of plumbing services from sewers to hot water tanks. We help our customers save money by offering plumbing system tune-ups, which are continually growing in popularity because they save people on the cost of repairs by catching problems early. We’re very excited to announce that we have expanded and now service and install all types of heating, furnaces and air conditioning, too. We are committed to our customers and to our staff, provid-
ing on-going training to make sure our technicians are simply the best trained in the business.
Q “Do you guarantee your services?” A :
: Absolutely, we have the best written warranties in the business. We provide our customers with the right price for the service and then guarantee the work. We have received the best service award from Angie’s list for over 6 years and are always top rated. Our customers will tell you about their experience with Fox Plumbing and Heating and we encourage them to do so. 80% of our new business comes from current customer referrals, we’re proud of this record and intend to continue it, every customer is important to us, I’ve built this whole business around satisfied customers, when we say “it’s all about service”, we mean it.
Providing Complete Plumbing & Heating Services in King County Since 1964 you offer any products that could help my water supply be more efficient, Q “Do or save me money?” :
A
: First having equipment in good working order saves water and money, you wouldn’t believe how costly a dripping faucet or “ever-running toilet” can be, I’ve seen them cost home owners and businesses hundreds even thousands of dollars. In this day and age switching from a gas water tank to tankless system saves space, energy and delivers endless hot water. PSE even provides rebates. Converting from electric to gas can save thousands of dollars over time. It’s important to know what works for your life-style and budget and what are your energy saving goals. The benefits of a tankless system are; endless hot water, its green – smaller carbon footprint, space savings, and energy savings. It took me a while to be totally sold on the tankless hot water systems, but I am, today the technology is outstanding.
an emergency, what’s the best thing to do? What about afterhours and on Q “In the weekends?” :
A
: Call us 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Pipes, sewers, water heaters, toilets, sinks and furnaces can’t tell time and often chose the worst time to act up and break down. We get this and have experts available to assist you whenever you need it, at your home or business. We have dispatchers and technicians on call 24 hours per day. On our website we have emergency water shut off videos to help people in times of emergency. It’s understandable that most people don’t even think of their plumbing until something goes wrong, we often get our best customers through our response to an emergency, we’re there and we fix the problem. After an emergency many of our customers participate in our $99 annual Plumbing Tune-up program, which saves them hundreds even thousands of dollars in the long run and they are seeing great improvements in their plumbing systems.
James arrived within 3 hours of my call for service. He quickly determined the problem and did a work around to get me back online. Then the next day at the exact appointment time he replaced the tank. Prompt, Professional, Clean & Neat. Good equipment and a reasonable price. Best service contractor I have used in 30 years. - Tom Nesbit, Kirkland.
