he emotions of 33 women with a close-up view of the Seattle Seahawks couldn’t help but explode when they saw the play that saved the NFC Championship game against the San Francisco 49ers. “That last play when Richard Sherman tipped the ball, that was the moment when all of the Sea Gals looked at each other and starting tearing and crying, and

we were like ‘this is happening, we’re going to the Super Bowl,’” says Jacqueline, a 2012 Kentridge High School graduate and one of 33 members of the Seahawks NFL cheerleading squad. “I looked in the eyes of our fans and saw their faces all lit up, and that just set my heart on fire,” says Geraldine, a 2007 Kentwood graduate, about the tip heard

Crews are expected to start work this spring to repair the Briscoe-Desimone levee along the Green River that protects portions of Kent, Tukwila and Renton from flooding. The Kent City Council awarded a bid of $6.7 million on Jan. 21 to Tapani, Inc., to make the improvements along the levee that stretches from South 180th Street to South 200th Street. Tapani had the lowest of 10 bids that were as high as $9.2 million. City engineers estimated the cost at $8.4 million. “We’re very, very pleased with the bids,” Public Works Director Tim LaPorte said to the council. “We received excellent bids from 10 bidders, which really surprised me. I was expecting about four. They were very competitive and we have checked out the qualifications of the

low bidder. They’ve done their most recent work with Klickitat County and received a thumbs up rating.” Tapani is based in Battle Ground in Southwest Washington. Ironically, how to repair the levee became a battle ground between the city of Kent and King County officials. The King County Flood Control District board hired an outside consultant and eventually agreed to go with the city’s plan to repair the 2.5-mile levee rather than a much-more expensive county plan that included purchasing large amounts of property around the river. A state grant of $7 million and King County Flood Control District funds will pay for this project and a second project next year along the levee. Engineers estimate the total repair cost at about $18 million. [ more LEVEE page 4 ]

The position became vacant when Ken Sharp resigned Jan. 16 after only two weeks in office because of pending first-degree theft charges. His resignation left the sevenmember council one person short.

these funds were allocated, she’d prefer them to pay for improved programs that would ease stress on single parents and also provide more opportunities to keep students engaged in the schools. She cites her own classes as a teenager, where she helped lead inner city youth on outdoors trips, as an example of such programs. She also feels that schools should try to reinvest in skill and artistic programs outside of the typical art and music. She suggests that the district reintegrate programs such as woodworking that would get students excited to go to school each day. Sullivan will host another town hall meeting at Green River Community College this Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m, where he will discuss different ideas for improving higher education.

State Rep. Pat Sullivan (D-Covington), House Majority leader and representative for Washington’s 47th Congressional District stopped by the Kent School District offices for a question-and-answer session with his constituents. While the room was set up for close to 60 people, only nine were able to make the session, including school board member Agda Burchard. Sullivan said that he was hoping for a larger turnout, but also understands that it’s difficult to go sit in a meeting on a sunny Saturday morning. It reflected the difficulty in getting involved with the school district, he said. “While my kids were in school, I went to one school board meeting,” he said to the audience. The key, he says, is to engage citizens on multiple levels, such as door to door canvassing and cold calling.

Of the issues discussed at the meeting, Sullivan wanted to make sure that the problems of early learning and literacy were articulated. His ideas included creating an early learning department to help students in early elementary, as well as advancing continuing education and teacher improvement programs. After the morning discussion, Sullivan also mentioned areas that the district is currently successful at and areas where it could use improvement. Specifically, he felt that English and math deficiencies were too high, as well as drop out rates despite re-engagement programs for students. Of the constituents who were present, Kirsten Brown, a student teacher at Neely-O’Brien Elementary, had many ideas on how to improve the district. Her primary concern is ensuring that increased taxes and fees will go directly to the schools and not get tied up in bureaucracy. If

Man who reportedly sexually assaulted woman on Kent’s West Hill remains at large REPORTER STAFF

Kent Police are investigating a sexual assault against a woman that occurred early Monday morning on the West Hill. Officers responded to a call about a woman who reportedly was accosted as she walked alone in the 23800 block of 30th Avenue South at about 3:30 a.m. The woman reported that a man approached her, brandished a weapon and then forced her to a secluded spot where she was assaulted.

Police are looking for a black man, age 20 to 30. He is about 5 feet 2 inches tall and described as having a slender build. The woman said that he was wearing a camouflage hooded sweatshirt and a long pair of light colored shorts. Initial information indicates that the man’s face was partially covered. Police investigators are working with the woman to develop a composite drawing of the man. “We want to ensure that the public is aware of this occurrence and are asking the public to remain vigi-

lant for this man,” said detective Melanie Frazier. “In addition, Kent Patrol units will be actively conducting extra patrols in this area.” Frazier offered steps that pedestrians can use to improve their safety. • Be alert to your surroundings and avoid darkened areas. Avoid walking close to bushes, darkened doorways and other places of concealment. • Walk on the side of the street that has the best lighting and don’t walk alone. • If you are followed, get

Kent city officials quickly sided with the state attorney general’s opinion that cities and counties can ban recreational marijuana businesses. “Much of the analysis, in fact, comports with the position that the city has taken all along in this matter,” said David Galazin, assistant city attorney, in an email. Kent and other cities have banned recreational marijuana businesses. Attorney General Bob Ferguson said in a statement released Jan. 16 that, “Under Washington law, there is a strong presumption against finding that state law preempts local ordinances.” “It is presumed that cities are not preempted by state law when it comes to these kinds or regulations,” Galazin said. “Absent specific legislative language that explicitly curtails local control, the bar is very high to overcome that presumption, no matter what the activity might be.”

The project includes constructing setback flood walls along two sections, or reaches, of the levee between South 189th Street and South 194th Street that do not meet stability criteria; removing large trees and roots that could cause damage to the levees; and removing ivy and other ground cover that can prevent routine inspections.

Seahawks Super Bowl fever explodes in Kent

said. But she’s less worried about Seattle’s chances for this game than she was for the playoff. “The last game, it was a nail biter, but we got the 49ers, I’m not scared of the Broncos.” Edwin Singh and Jay Gounder, students who go to local community colleges, are both looking forward to their game-day party with unbridled enthusiasm. While they don’t

have any particular traditions for the day, they do plan to have a large party at their house in Kent. While many fans say that Sherman’s tipped pass was the highlight of their season, Singh and Gounder said that their personal favorite moment from the season was Seattle’s secondhalf comeback against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. “That game was more of

a screaming match,” said Singh, who described seeing the Seahawks point deficiency as “the worst feeling.” Both Singh and Gounder schedule their work around the games on Sunday, and if they can’t, they find other ways to watch the game. Gounder keeps the TV in the store tuned to the game, while Singh, who works at Fry’s, finds reasons to go back to the TV section to stay updated. The students said that their favorite memories of Seahawks games are cheering and screaming at the TV when the great plays are made. “The Seahawks are the one thing that brings everyone together,” Singh said. Businesses also have jumped on board, decorating their stores with Seahawks flags and banners, and employees roll in with jerseys and other spirit merchandise. At Trappers Sushi in Kent Station,

the training facility for the Seahawks. The Sea Gals perform at every home game at CenturyLink Field and do a variety of promotional appearances. Zoe, an Auburn Riverside graduate and a Portland State University student, is one of a dozen rookies on the team. She commutes from Oregon for practices and games. She says it’s worth the drive. “I’ve transformed as a dancer and a person,” Zoe says. “It teaches you more than dance. It teaches you how to model, how to pose, how to speak well and how to represent a community. It makes you a well-rounded super woman.” Laura, a 2006 Kentridge graduate and 2010 Washington State University graduate, returns as a veteran Sea Gal. “It’s my fourth season so I’ve kind of watched as (coach) Pete Carroll has

come in and made this what it is,” Laura says. “I’m just so happy to be a small part of this organization.” The Sea Gals aren’t allowed to talk about how much they get paid, but they are paid. Each also receives two season tickets to give to family or friends. They aren’t allowed to fraternize with players. But there’s no doubt these women are having the time of their lives. “Nothing beats the type of thrill and adrenaline you get on game day, especially getting the chance to do it with some of the most amazing women I’ve ever met,” Jacqueline says. “My teammates are very beautiful, very intelligent and kind. We’ve become really close friends, so on game days I look at my teammates and it makes the experience that much more exciting because I experience it with them.”

They make their family and friends proud as well. “I talked to my grandma and she started crying and she’s not an emotional person,” Zoe says about the reaction of relatives to her Super Bowl trip. “For her to be, ‘I’m so proud of you,’ just felt really good.” In addition to beauty and dance skills, it takes a certain kind of woman to make the Sea Gals. “Everyone’s very humble, has a good sense of humor yet works very, very hard,” Laura says. “We all have that in common.” They also know which team will win. “We’re going to win for sure,” Jacqueline says. “I have a very good feeling about this game and this team. It’s kind of been a very magical season. A lot of great things have happened. I feel it’s finally our year to bring home that Lombardi trophy.”

Seahawks fever has escalated as fans in the Kent area prepare for the Super Bowl matchup against Denver. After the harrowingly close victory over San Francisco, the 12th Man are making plans for what will certainly be a tense and emotional end of the season. Mary Clark, of Kent, says she plans to have 15 people at her house for the game. In addition to breaking out her Seahawks gear, she plans to make a plate of nachos with “all the fixings,” her standard game-day dish. Her favorite memory of the season? Richard Sherman’s now famous tip in the fourth quarter against the 49ers. The moment’s leading up to that decisive play left her incredibly tense. “At the 2-minute mark I was walking back and forth, I could not sit down,” Clark

bartender Chris Watson sported his No. 25 Sherman jersey for Blue Friday. “The guy is just a beast,” he said, citing his eight interceptions. He said that while his family used to host games at different houses, they’ve remained at his house for good luck. “They lost when we were somewhere else, so now it’s at my house,” he said. His gameday meal includes some of his homebrewed IPA and light eats. While he likes going to games, he says watching from home can be more convenient. Not only is it more comfortable, but “you don’t have to drive anywhere, so you can drink more.” Watson expects to see a 27-13 victory, assuming the Seahawks can keep pressure on Peyton Manning.

As far as his favorite memories of games go, he likes the community of having everyone talking about the game at halftime, going back over the triumphs and failures of the first quarter. It’s hard to get the Seattle area to agree on anything, with issues like marijuana and taxation. But if there’s one thing that can unite an area, it’s their football team.

Auburn Riverside high schools, flew out Thursday to New York. They will make several promotional appearances before they perform on the sideline Sunday of Super Bowl XLVIII at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey between the Seahawks and the Denver Broncos. The Sea Gals are only known in public by their first names for security reasons. But sit down for a short conversation with the cheerleaders and the outgoing personalities makes it easy to know them on a first-name basis. “Being from Kent it means a lot to me that I get to represent the city of Kent at the Super Bowl,” says Geraldine, in her third year on the team. “A small town girl makes it out to the biggest stage in the world.” As many as 300 women try out each year for the Sea Gals. A spot on the current squad doesn’t guarantee another season as everyone must audition each year in the spring. All have dance backgrounds. Some are college students as well as work part-time jobs. Others work full-time jobs. They practice two evenings a week at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center in Renton,

Support Kent schools, pass ballot measures Voters in the Kent School District are being asked to approve two ballot measures in the Feb. 11 special election – an educational programs and operations levy, and a technology levy. The local Association of Realtors has endorsed both of these school levies, and is asking voters to join them in supporting our local schools. Why? There are several reasons, but as a Realtor – and a voter – in the Kent School District I want to mention just two: First, the school district has earned the Realtors’ support. The number of Kent schools rated “excellent” or “good” has more than doubled since the last time Kent Schools submitted a levy to voters. Kent schools continue to do a better, and better, job of educating the children in our district. Tests score are up,

awards have been pouring in, and other school districts from Washington (and from other countries) have been coming to the school district to see what they can learn, and copy, to help their own students. The Kent School District has earned the financial support our teachers, principals, administrators and PTSAs are asking for in these two levies.

What would you do? Let’s give our homeless hope What do you suppose would happen if some catastrophe left 63 of your Kent neighbors homeless? Can you imagine our response? What would be your response? Just a week ago (Jan. 24) the 34th annual One Night Count of homeless people

in King County revealed there were 63 people on the streets of Kent without shelter between 2 and 5 a.m. Add to that the stark reality the number of homeless people you see during the day in many places in our city. We know we have

COMMENTARY

?

Question of the week:

Cristina Martinez Montano has a dream. It’s a simple dream, really: After she graduates from Kent-Meridian High School this spring, she wants to go to college, and study hard to learn the skills she needs to contribute to her family, her community, her state. But her dream might not come true, because when Cristina was 5 years old, her parents brought her to our state from Mexico – and they were undocumented immigrants. Under today’s regulations, undocumented schoolchildren like Cristina are not eligible for state financial aid to attend public colleges in Washington. For Cristina, no state aid would be a dealbreaker. And she’s not alone: Instead of teaching school, or writing computer code, or designing aircraft, the Cristinas of our state might end up cleaning houses or taking orders for burgers and fries without the help they need to pay tuition. And that means these students are not the only victims of this misguided policy: We all are – all of us who will lose out on the contributions that Cristina and other smart, high-achieving undocumented kids like her could make to our economy and society. That loss will be especially keen in South King County, which has welcomed large numbers of immigrants to its neighborhoods. That’s why I voted for the Dream Act in the state House of Representatives on Day 1 of the current legislative session, along with an overwhelming majority that included Democrats and Republicans alike. That strong bipartisan vote moved the Dream Act along to the state Senate for further action. If the senators want, they can approve the Dream Act and send it to Gov. Inslee, who will sign it into law and make all qualified students eligible for state aid, regardless of their immigration status. It’s not like Cristina did anything wrong: She was a little girl when her parents brought her to Washington, which is the only home

a challenge. What should/can be our response? We would not turn our backs on 63 of our neighbors/ friends. A number of years ago our city slogan was “Kent Cares”. For over three years a number of Kent churches and community leaders have been building the positive will and the creative means to respond to the homeless in Kent. In

Second, as Realtors, we know that there is a direct and important relationship between strong neighborhood schools and higher home values. The first question Realtors often hear from buyers is, “What about the schools?” That’s because buyers know that good schools not only help to define communities, they support higher home values. It’s not just families with school-age kids who are concerned about the quality of schools when buying a home. Savvy buyers know that quality schools will be a factor in the sales price when it’s time to sell. As a housing specialist for the Association of Realtors, I’ve looked at the research that backs-up what I also know first-hand based on my 20-plus years of experience as a local Realtor: Good schools support higher prices when it’s time to sell. Higher home values are also important for property owners who want to refinance their mortgage. [ more LETTERS page 7 ]

November 2012 KentHOPE held a fundraiser to begin to bring the dream of a 24/7 Kent Homeless Resource Center to reality. $82,000 was given and the outreach began. We have partnered with the Union Gospel Mission, which who has more than 80 years of successful experience working with hunger, homelessness, poverty and addiction. But we have a problem. It seems that over the past year every potential site for the resource [ more ECKFELDT page 8 ]

www.kentreporter.com [ LETTERS from page 6 ] Researchers have studied the relationship between home values and good schools since at least 1956. That’s when Charles Tiebout published the results of his study: “A Pure Theory of Local Expenditures.” More recently, a January 2013 study published by The Reinvestment Fund found overall school quality, as measured by test scores, is positively related to the price of housing. In a different study published by Clemson University, researchers used data on housing transactions between the years of 1994 and 2000 to analyze the effect of K-12 school rankings on housing prices. They found: 1, high-ranked schools have values embedded in single-family housing prices, and 2, greater commuting distances to schools has a negative impact on the value of property. That’s just a fancy way to say that strong schools support higher home values, and home values are lower if people have to commute long distances to find good schools. Still another study published in the Quarterly Journal of Economics found that better school quality, as shown by an increase in test scores, has a positive effect on housing prices.

[ GREGERSON from page 6 ] she’s ever really known. And it’s not like the Dream Act would give an unfair advantage to undocumented students: They would have to compete with other high-school graduates for the financial aid grants, on a level playing field. As it is now, they don’t even get to step on the field. I urge the Senate to do right by Cristina and other ambitious, hard-working students eager to dream the American dream.

It’s really pretty simple: Home and condo prices are higher when the local schools are good, and you also get more for your property when it’s time to sell. Voting “Yes” on these two levies for Kent Schools will not only be good for the kids and families in our community, they’ll also benefit homeowners like my wife and I who have no children of our own. So, I voted “Yes” on the Kent School levies, and I mailed-in my ballot. If you’re a voter in the Kent School District you can join me, and other Realtors in the Kent School District, in voting to approve these well-earned school levies. But you must mail-in your ballot by Feb. 11 for your vote to count. – Sam Pace, realtor

Who’s to blame for demise of par 3 course? It’s been a long, bumpy road since May 2013 when the city of Kent announced its intentions to possibly sell Riverbend’s Par 3 Golf Course. Two special public meetings were held at the par 3 clubhouse to gather information from the public for suggestions on what could be done to reverse the financial loss trends.

Many suggestions were given by concerned citizens of our wonderful community. Councilmember Deborah Ranniger took notes and stated she would get back to us with a summary for discussion. To the best of our knowledge, the suggestions were given to the director of Parks and Recreation but never returned to the concerned citizens. A small group of concerned citizens formed a committee to evaluate the financial reports provided by the city of Kent. The summary of these reports – together with recommendations for solving the financial woes – was presented to the director as well as several members of the City Council. Council President Dennis Higgins seemed quite interested and stated he would provide us with a list of 10-15 questions to discuss with the director. No questions came forth, even after further attempts to call him. The director seemed more interested in finding fault with some of the minute parts of the report rather than encompass the spirit of mutual respect and working together to solve the problems. Then, on Sept. 19, the director presented his report to the Parks and Human Services Committee. None of the recommendations

or concerns expressed by our committee was addressed. Rather, he focused on outsourcing, debt repayment, resizing and using general funds to support the enterprise operation. We presented operational cost reduction and revenue enhancement suggestions and other means for bringing about a break-even operating budget. From the city’s financial reports we determined that the enterprise golf fund had actually showed a profit for the years 2008 and 2009. Then in 2010, internal charges from departments within the city jumped a whopping $133,000. And these charges continued to grow to nearly $400,000 in the 2013 budget. Operating revenues declined a little over $300,000 in 2009 to 2010. Why? We’re not sure. Partially due to a reduction in rounds of golf on the par 3 of nearly 4,400; revenue only dropped by $28,000 for the par 3. But the 18-hole course revenue dropped by a whopping $300,000 with the rounds of golf remaining rather constant. Why? In summary, it is evident that the management of the golf complex and the director of Parks and Recreation have had a minimum of three years to recognize and

take corrective action, making the enterprise operation at least break even. They have not. It is also clear that the council is nothing more than a rubber stamp for those who have managed to bankrupt the enterprise. It is now coming up with a quick fix that will provide them the capital to continue to support the 18-hole course without righting the ship in operational costs and revenues. You must first get your operational costs and revenues in order or 5-to-10 years down the pike we will be looking at selling the 18-hole course as well. If you have comments or questions regarding the course, please call 253-650-8324 or 253-8593019. – R.C. Sample, Save the Par 3 Committee

However, during that same four-year period, the main 18hole course was accumulating losses of more than a million dollars. Mr. Watling’s two "fireside chat meetings" at the clubhouse stated that it was all because of the par 3's failure to pay its way and why the par 3 – the “stepchild” of the main course, in their minds – must be sold. In the meantime, none of the issues brought up by the Save the Par 3 Committee, has been addressed by the City Council or Parks. The question is: what do you think of this situation as a council member or resident? Two Save the Par 3 Committee members, Manuel Espinosa and R.C. Sample, had strongly suggested selling two parcels of land, one across the river and the other a couple blocks east of the driving range, thereby securing money to pay off the debt of $2.5 million tied up in the golf enterprise fund. Unfortunately, not a word was heard again from the City Council or Mr. Watling. Perhaps one could say that in light of the current situation the par 3 and driving range are the only two viable venues that could promise a profit in the near future. Dick Gravender is president of the Senior Men’s Golf League and a member of the Save the Par 3 Committee. For comments and questions about the committee, contact member Tom Brice at 253-859-3019.

Horse Liniment Erases Pain HIALEAH, FL – An ingredient often used to treat inflammation in racehorse legs is now back on the market in its original doctor recommended clinical strength formula. According to a national drug survey, the formula at one time became so popular that it rose to the top of pharmacy sales for topical pain relievers. But the company marketing the product at the time changed the formula and sales plummeted. One of the inventors of the original formula has brought it back under the trade name ARTH ARREST and

says it can relieve pain for millions. ARTH ARREST works by a dual mechanism whereby one ingredient relieves pain immediately, while a second ingredient seeks out and destroys the pain messenger signal before it can be sent to the brain. Considered a medical miracle by some, ARTH ARREST is useful in the treatment of a variety of painful disorders. ARTH ARREST is available without a prescription or call 877-581-1502. Now at:

Tom Brice and Gary Hallock’s recent letters to the editor in the Kent Reporter have reminded the City Council of what they are possible giving up – namely this unique par 3 course situated at the Riverbend Golf Complex. To refresh your memory, the proposal by the director of Kent Parks, Recreation & Community Services, Jeff Watling, and Pete Petersen, director of golf for the Riverbend's main 18-hole and par-3 courses, are collectively planning to relegate two or three holes for youngsters of the 1st Tee Program for practice, across the Green River, in the vacated parcel that formerly was a nursery. The plan is to take out the par 3 course for development with condos, retail stores or who knows what else. According to them, the par 3 has been losing money during 2009-12. We think it's fair for both courses to reflect the dismal economy figures. While the par 3 revenue was down 30-35 percent over the period, the par 3 public records in 2009 reported 35,643 rounds of golf and took in $300,426. Then in 2010, $272,563 in revenue with 31,240 rounds; 2011, $245,198 in revenue with 29,475 rounds, and in 2012 a reported 28,393 rounds of golf with revenue of $233,773. While no record for 2013 has been made available to the public, we believe the revenue surpassed the 2012 amount, most likely due to more resident awareness and participation.

Puerto Rican officials visit Mattson Middle School as part of Microsoft’s ‘World Tour’ FOR THE REPORTER

Mattson Middle School hosted 18 civic officials from Puerto Rico on Jan. 23. The officials toured the district to see how it operated as a Microsoft Demonstration Site. Kent is the only school district in the world with that designation, officials said. The visitors came to Mattson to see how teachers utilize technology in the classroom. They visited

and interacted with students and staff, and they learned how the District’s “1:1 laptop program� impacts student achievement. 1:1 is the program that allows each student to have his or her own school-issued laptop in grades 7-12. The Puerto Rican visitors learned about the logistics of the program for a district the size of Kent. “These visits give me an incredible opportunity to share

with students that they have an educational advantage that most students (locally, state-wide, nationally, and internationally) don’t have,� said DeWayne Lindh, administrative intern and mentorteacher. “I then encourage my students to act with stewardship and citizenship to make the most of our 1:1 opportunity.� “The efforts we put into making sure our students are successful as global citizens are recognized

around the world,� said Superintendent Edward Lee Vargas. “It’s a privilege to share our efforts with international peers who have the same high hopes for their students.� As a Microsoft demonstration site, KSD hosts occasional world visitors throughout the year.

…Go Seahawks SUPER BOWL XLVIII • 3:25 P.M. SUNDAY, METLIFE STADIUM, EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. • FOX 13 TV, KIRO 710 AM, 97.3 FM

BEST OF BOTH WORLDS Super Bowl features the NFL’s No. 1 offense vs. its No. 1 defense BY JOHN BOYLE (Everett) Herald Writer

While most of America spent the day after the NFC Championship game reacting to Richard Sherman’s postgame antics, the Seahawks cornerback was already immersed in film study. “With Peyton,” Sherman said. “you have to be on it quick, because I know he was on it quick.” When it comes to preparing for quarterback Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos’ offense, an extra week between games is probably one or two weeks too few, which is why Sherman and the Seahawks defense, despite being the best in the NFL, know they have their hands full this weekend. All season this Super Bowl matchup seemed like destiny. In the AFC, the 37-year-old Manning enjoyed the best season of what will surely be a Hall-of-Fame career, shattering passing records while leading the Broncos to an NFL record for points in a season. Seattle, meanwhile, earned the NFC’s No. 1 seed thanks in large part to a defense that became the first since the 1985 Chicago Bears to lead the NFL in fewest points (14.4) and fewest yards allowed (273.6) as

well as takeaways (39). When you factor in the pass-happy era we’re in, Seattle’s pass defense wasn’t just great, it was one of the best of all-time. So when Sherman tipped Colin Kaepernick’s pass to Malcolm Smith for the game-clinching interception in the NFC title game, it didn’t just secure a Super Bowl berth for Seattle, it also set up one of the most intriguing Super Bowl matchups in recent memory, a classic meeting of an unstoppable force and an immoveable object. “We really embrace that, man,” Sherman said. “As a defense, we respect the heck out of Peyton Manning, but as a true competitor, as competitive as our team is, you wouldn’t want to have it any other way. You want the best of the best, otherwise you don’t feel like you’re getting the biggest challenge of your life. ... It’s just a competitive drive in you. If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. So that’s the only way it can go.” And there is no arguing that this is a best-vs.-best matchup. Manning, whose career was in danger less than three years ago following multiple neck surgeries, established single-season records for passing yards (5,477) and passing touchdowns (55). He carved up opposing defense by spreading the ball around to a group of pass-catchers with diverse skill sets, ranging from a prototypical No. 1 receiver in

Demaryius Thomas to a speedy slot receiver in Wes Welker to an athletic tight end in Julius Thomas. And of all the crazy stats the Broncos put up, the most stunning might be that they had four pass-catchers produce 10-plus touchdown seasons: Thomas, Thomas, Welker and Eric Decker. For a little perspective on how crazy that is, there were just nine other receivers and tight ends on the NFL’s 31 other teams to accomplish that feat. So it’s no surprise that the Broncos are confident in their offense, no matter who is lined up across from them. “They are the No. 1 defense,” Demaryius Thomas told reporters in Denver. “They have a great defense and we have a great offense. This is what you play for. I think we’ll be fine.” Yet as confident as the Broncos may be, it’s safe to say they’ve yet to see anything quite like this Seattle defense, which didn’t just have the best pass defense in the league, but the best by a significant margin. Seattle allowed 172.0 passing yards per game, 22.1 fewer than the No. 2 team. Seattle’s secondary deservedly saw three players, Sherman, Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor, earn Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors, yet it’s safe to say they’ve yet to see anything quite like Denver’s offense. But Seahawks fans might take comfort knowing that in the

previous four Super Bowls to match the league’s No. 1 offense and No. 1 defense in terms of yards, the defensive team won three times. Not only is Denver’s offense talented, it’s also a challenge because Manning has so much freedom at the line of scrimmage, essentially serving as, as Sherman called him, “an offensive coordinator out there.” “Nobody has ever taken more command of the game than he has at this stage of his career,” Carroll said. “And the coaching staff has allowed that to happen where he can be in total command of what’s going on.” One thing Carroll and his defense know well is that stopping Denver’s passing game isn’t only about the players covering Man-

ning’s targets. If the Seahawks can somehow generate a pass rush to disrupt Manning’s timing, they’ll be doing something few teams have this season. The Seahawks added Michael Bennett and Cliff Avril to improve their pass rush, and it worked, with Seattle registering 44 sacks this season, but even with a strong group of passrushers, pressuring Manning, like stopping the entire Broncos offense, will be a challenge even for the league’s best defense. “We have to be able to do everything,” Carroll said. “We have to be able to pressure him. ... We have to find a way to get him out of his normal rhythm. Very few teams have been able to do that. So it’s a big challenge.”

situation. But he never flinched. He came to the sideline, I was able to talk to him ... and he got a handle on the situation. “He’s been fabulous in everything we’ve asked him to do,” Bevell said. “He does a great job of managing all the situations, and he’s come up big in just about every one of them.” Asked what it would mean to him to win a Super Bowl, Wilson had a ready response. “The thing I’ve thought about more than anything is what it’ll do for this organization,” he said. “We want to win a Super Bowl and be the first ones to win it in our organization, and that’s kind of our mindset. ... Obviously to win a Super Bowl, that’s the thing you want to win most. “It’s the ultimate game,” he added. “It’s the Super Bowl, and you look forward to these moments. “I’m excited about the game,” Wilson said. “I’m excited about the moment and about playing one play at a time, just like always, and hopefully it’s the best 60 minutes of my life.”

The question, of course, is whether the 25-year-old Wilson is ready for pro football’s biggest stage. Even Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell acknowledges that “we’re working with a second-year player. A second-year quarterback, and you have to keep that in mind.” According to Bevell, the Seahawks had some late offensive miscues in the NFC Championship game against San Francisco, and those errors were due in part to Wilson being less than flawless. “There was definitely something,” Bevell said. “I don’t know if it was (Wilson’s) nerves, but obviously we didn’t function well in those situations. We fumbled on fourth-and-one (at the 49ers’ goal line), and then we fumbled another snap, then we came out (and ran) the wrong way. “There were a number of things in the last 10-15 plays where we didn’t function as well as we needed to. I’m not putting it all on (Wilson) because there were other things going on, too. But we’re still talking about a second-year player, and that’s the first time that he’s been in that

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson greets the Broncos’ Peyton Manning following Seattle’s 40-10 preseason win at CenturyLink Field last August. The two meet again, this time with the Super Bowl title on the line. JENNIFER BUCHANAN, The Herald

972610

A year ago, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was in New Orleans for Super Bowl XLVII. Unfortunately for the Seahawks and their fans, none of Wilson’s teammates joined him. The Super Bowl was played just three weeks after Seattle’s season ended with a disappointing 30-28 playoff loss to the Atlanta Falcons. But Wilson was more than an ordinary spectator at the Feb. 3, 2013, game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens. Convinced that the Seahawks were on the verge of reaching the NFL title game, Wilson wanted a firsthand sense of the entire Super Bowl experience. “I watched the whole game, and the pregame and all that, because I really wanted to get a feel for it in case we were there (someday),” Wilson said. “I believed that we would (be) and, sure enough, we are.” Wilson, Seattle’s second-year quarterback, has done everything he can to prepare himself for Super Bowl XLVIII against the Denver Broncos. In recent weeks he has sought the advice of NFL acquaintances with their own Super Bowl experiences, including New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees. Wilson even took the chance to query former Pittsburgh Steelers QB Terry Bradshaw when the latter was on hand

for the trophy presentation after the Jan. 19 NFC Championship game at Seattle’s CenturyLink Field. Because the two weeks leading up to the Super Bowl are unlike anything else in the NFL, as is the extraordinary fanfare on game day, Wilson thought it important to learn as much as he could. “You have to understand about not getting warmed up too early and not getting too fired up,” he explained. “(It’s about) just being in the moment and relaxing as much as possible, and then going out there and playing a great game.” By the numbers, the Broncos seem to have a decided quarterback advantage in Sunday’s game. Denver QB Peyton Manning has the edge in NFL experience with 16 years compared to Wilson’s two, Super Bowl appearances with two compared to Wilson’s zero, and NFL Most Valuable Player awards with five, again compared to Wilson’s zero. Even Seahawks center Max Unger concedes, “Peyton has been the (quarterback) standard in the NFL for years and years.” Regardless, the players in Seattle’s locker room are standing behind their teammate. “Peyton’s a great player and he’s one of the best to ever play the game, no doubt about it,” Seahawks wide receiver Golden Tate said. “But No. 3 (Wilson) is a special player himself. And he’s young, so he’s going to get better every day, every game, every year. ... We’re definitely comfortable with No. 3.” “We don’t ask him to run the same offense Peyton does,” pointed out Seattle tight end Luke Willson. “We’ve got Marshawn (Lynch), so we like to run the ball. But Russ still does everything we ask him to do and more.”

No experience needed Super Bowl is a new thing for Carroll’s young Hawks BY JOHN BOYLE (Everett) Herald Writer

Even for Pete Carroll, a coach with vast experience, not to mention the fame, fortune and clout to get into just about any big event he chooses, this weekend’s Super Bowl will be a first. Sometime back in his first go-around in the NFL, Carroll decided he wouldn’t go to the Super Bowl as a spectator; instead, he would wait until he earned a trip. “Never,” Carroll said when asked if he had attended the NFL’s biggest game. “I really had the thought a long time ago that I’m not going until we’re playing in it. Fortunately, we’re finally going.” Just as it will be for Carroll, Super Bowl XLVIII will be a new experience for Seattle’s players. Barring a surprise last-minute roster move, the Seahawks will become the first team since the 1990 Buffalo Bills to play in the Super Bowl without a single player on its roster who has past experience in the big game. With an average age of 26.4 the Seahawks are the second-youngest Super Bowl team in history, just a bit older than the 1971 Dolphins, who lost to Dallas. So the obvious question is, does experience matter? Does the fact that Denver quarterback Peyton Manning is playing in

his third Super Bowl while Russell Wilson is in his first mean anything? Or does it simply mean Manning is older and was on some good teams in the past? Seahawks players don’t really know for sure, but they’re approaching the week as if nothing is different. “It’s just another football game,” safety Kam Chancellor said. “At the end of the day, it’s football, it’s running and hitting.” Added fellow safety Earl Thomas: “I’m just doing what I’ve been doing all season. I haven’t changed just because we’re in the Super Bowl.” Yet even if the Seahawks plan to treat Sunday’s game like any other, the buildup certainly will be different. From the circus that is Super Bowl media day to spending an entire week in a hotel to being hit up with ticket requests from relatives they never knew existed, players face challenges that simply don’t come with other games. “I think the more veteran team you have, the little bit easier it is,” said former Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren, who guided Seattle to the 2006 Super Bowl. “The more times you’ve been through it, it’s easier because there are not a lot of surprises ... There is nothing like it, so you have to talk about it. You have to talk to your team about it.” Oh, and that quote above, Holmgren was talking about the NFC Championship game. “It gets worse if you go to the Super Bowl,” he continued. While this year’s Seahawks may lack Super Bowl experi-

ence, Holmgren said he thinks they have the mental makeup to overcome any potential disadvantages. “It strikes me when I go over there, they are as loose a group as I’ve been around,” he said. “But, having said that, I think it’s pretty controlled. They understand that. They handle it pretty well.” These inexperienced Seahawks came into Super Bowl week hoping they can put all the distractions aside, yet they’re also aware that there’s no way to know for sure until they live it. “I really don’t know what to expect for real, being that it’s the first time in the Super Bowl,” Chancellor said. “I know it’s going to be a ton of media and a ton of people out there. My family is going to be out there, but I’m just blessed for this opportunity to make it to the Super Bowl and get a chance to compete against one of the best. I’m just looking forward to it and can’t wait.” And if you don’t think the emotions of a first Super Bowl are different, just ask Holmgren about one of the pictures hanging in his house. In the old black-and-white photo, Holmgren, then the 49ers’ quarterbacks coach, is sitting in a folding chair facing head coach Bill Walsh going over the game plan. To this day, Holmgren has the same reaction to that photo. “Every time I see that picture, my heart starts going thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump,” he said. “I go ‘Wow, I remember that.’ I was nervous. When I was a head coach, I

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll, hugging safety Kam Chancellor, has plenty of major bowl experience as a college coach but nothing quite like leading a team into the Super Bowl arena. JENNIFER BUCHANAN, The Herald wasn’t so nervous.” So maybe past Super Bowl experience matters a little, though if it does, it’s not exactly like the Broncos have a roster full of it. While Manning won one title with the Colts, no one else on Denver’s roster has a championship, though receiver Wes Welker, tight end Jacob Tamme and cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie have all played in Super Bowls.

SEATTLE’S

FINAL FOUR BY RICH MYHRE (Everett) Herald Writer

When punter Jon Ryan wants to count the current Seahawks who preceded head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider, he only needs the fingers on one hand. Four fingers, to be exact, with Ryan himself being No. 4. Since Carroll and Schneider were hired in January of 2010, Seattle’s roster has undergone an almost total transformation. Along with Ryan, the only remaining Seahawks who played in 2009 under previous Seattle coach Jim Mora are center Max Unger and defensive linemen Brandon Mebane and Red Bryant. The departing players included the last 11 members of Seattle’s 2005 squad, the only Super Bowl team in franchise history before this season. “Whenever you see heads

start to roll like they did in 2010, I think some guys were a little nervous,” said Ryan, who arrived as a free agent one week into the 2008 season. “Some weeks you’d see three, four or five guys getting their pink slips, and then they were gone.” Ryan, Unger, Mebane and Bryant are the survivors on a football team that was remade into an NFL contender in 2012 (the third year of the CarrollSchneider partnership) and then reached the Super Bowl this season. Those four players have seen literally hundreds of teammates come and go, but the net effect has been a remarkable rise to prominence for the Seahawks. “When Pete and John came in,” said Unger, a second-round draft pick in 2009, “they had a pretty clear vision of what they wanted this team to be. So we had a lot of turnover on the roster for the first couple of years, but they got who they wanted on the roster and everyone kind of fit a mold.” “They brought in a lot of new faces and the team got younger,” added Mebane, a third-round pick in 2007. “They also brought in a different type of attitude as far as what they

Seattle’s Brandon Mebane reaches out to touch the George Halas trophy after the Seahawks’ victory over the San Francisco 49ers for the NFC Championship. JENNIFER BUCHANAN, The Herald wanted to do around here.” During the hiring process, Carroll was very clear about the direction the team needed to go. The Seahawks needed to get younger and more athletic, he said, and he wanted management to support whatever difficult personnel decisions that entailed. Four years later, the result “is better than I ever could’ve imagined it,” Carroll said. Team owner Paul Allen “has been extraordinarily effective in helping us and supporting us in every turn. He’s given us every chance to win and to be

at the cutting edge of it, and he’s really given John a great boost throughout all the tough decisions that he’s made.” “(Carroll and Schneider) came in and focused on a plan,” Ryan said. “They had a plan to build the team the way they wanted to build it, and they weren’t going to let anyone tell them otherwise. We went through a lot of players in those first couple of years, but I think now you’re starting to see the fruits of their labors. And it looks pretty good.” Good enough, in fact, for the Seahawks to be playing for an

NFL championship on Sunday. Likewise, there is certainly a sense that Seattle would not be preparing to face the Denver Broncos without the hard work and dedicated partnership of Carroll and Schneider, and their shared vision of how to transform a football team. “They had a common goal of what they wanted to do with this team and it’s paid off,” Ryan said. “Every player on the team was brought in by them with the exception of the four of us, so they put this team together. “And they did an amazing job.”

Kentridge’s Seibel, Freitag climb rankings

KENTWOOD BOYS SET SWIMMING RECORD The Kentwood High boys swimmers set a new school record in the 200 freestyle relay at the Kentridge Invitational on Jan. 11. The swimmers on the relay were Dane Turnbull, Logan Stoick, Brian Wright and Kevin Molloy. The group broke the previous school record set in 2002 by almost two seconds, with a time of 1 minute, 31.67 seconds. The time also automatically qualifies the relay team for the state championship meet Feb. 21-22.

Kent wrestlers have put in work and made their mark on the high school state rankings. Kentridge senior Zach Seibel (170 pounds) and sophomore Derek Freitag (106) are each ranked second in their divisions. The duo shared their thoughts about how it feels to be near the top and how they stay competitive. Seibel is less surprised by his accomplishment. He says that it was simply a number and reflects his drive to succeed. He says he knows he’s a talented wrestler and the validation is welcome but not critical to his outlook on the sport. Seibel, who has been wrestling for close to 10 years, says that he focuses on his standing game, preferring to score points above the mat to demoralize and intimidate his opponents. “For me it’s a confidence booster,” he says. “If I’m the first to score I just keep pounding it on until the guy gets too tired. I’m really, really aggressive.” The key to keeping the game in the air, he says,

Kentridge’s Zach Seibel, right, makes a move during a recent practice. ROSS COYLE, is footwork. He tries to control an opponent for the most points before establishing a pin through a leg sweep. He tries to stay on his feet for at least 75 percent of practices, and watches replays of Olympic wrestler Jordan Burroughs for tips. He says that wrestling has been a great foundation for

his other sports like football and track, and has given him a strong drive to win. When he’s not wrestling, he relaxes with the online game League of Legends or plays pick-up football games. While Seibel’s strategy focuses on aggressive and explosive movement, Freitag aims for a more

defensive strategy to gauge his opponents movements and wait for the right opening. The 15 year-old’s lean build lends itself to fast movement at the right opportunity. Freitag, in his second year of wrestling, put in extra work in the offseason to improve his technique, but wasn’t expecting to make

that much of a jump in the rankings. “I was a nobody last year, so I came out and I worked,” he says. “I expected to be up there, but not quite second. It is a surprise to me, but I’ve worked hard for it.” Constant work and a positive outlook help Freitag maintain his focus during matches. He doesn’t believe in focusing on his failures. “The last match that I had to win, I was losing badly, and in the second round I started to make a comeback, and I won the match,” he says. Freitag says it’s important not to equate confidence with cockiness. “It’s more believing in yourself than saying you can do anything,” he says. When he’s not wrestling, Freitag plays soccer, rugby, and volunteers through both his church and the National Honor Society. While Kentridge has made a mark on high school wrestling, KentMeridian is also chomping at the bit. Amos Daigbe and Logan Jefferson, of the Royals, will be featured in next week’s Kent Reporter.

Bublitz looks to shine again at state swim meet BY ROSS COYLE rcoyle@kentreporter.com

Kentridge’s Chase Bublitz won two events at last year’s state swim meet and hopes to win a couple more at this year’s championships Feb. 21-22 at the King County Aquatic Center. FILE PHOTO, Kent Reporter about that. No one can interrupt me, I can’t talk to anyone and no one can talk to me.� While the years have put some inches — and scraggly sideburns on Bublitz — they haven’t changed his quiet and friendly attitude. Bublitz remains humble

and personable to his friends and teammates. “You expect someone with great skill to be really cocky, and show all their skills and stuff,� says fellow swimmer Ryan Tsing, who views Bublitz as a mentor, “but Chase is the opposite, he’s really a team player.�

Dedication to his teammates has been Bublitz’s watchword, and it was a trademark of his role model, Cameron Whiting, who now swims at the Claremont McKenna College in Southern California. Whiting was a senior when Bublitz entered high school, and immediately made an

“I’ve always found history really exciting, no other subject has gripped me where I thoroughly enjoyed the content,� he says. “But I always enjoy learning about history and stuff.� While Bublitz is looking forward to what he’ll learn in college, he says it will probably be ancillary to his swimming training. “It’s a passion, but it’s in my free time.� While his titles last year in the 100-yard freestyle and 200 freestyle has given him some much deserved confidence, he doesn’t let it go to his head. Instead it’s one more reason to jump back and keep training as he prepares for the state championships Feb. 21-22 at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way. “When you look at it, I’m second, I’m not first,� he says with a serious but excited look. “There’s always going to be someone better than me, so it just gives you the drive to work harder and get faster.�

When he was 4 years old, Kentridge High senior Chase Bublitz started swimming at the Fairwood Country Club along with his sister. As the years progressed, he followed in her footsteps. He swam in his first “A team� swim meet when he was 7, and hasn’t looked back. Now Bublitz has risen to become one of the best high school swimmers in Washington and his achievement has earned him a full-ride scholarship to the University of Minnesota. But he doesn’t let the recognition go to his head and remains dedicated to the sport. “A part of it is because I’m good at it, but when you look at plenty of kids they’ll have the talent but they’ll drop out,� he says. “It makes me happy, it’s what I love to do.� While Bublitz acknowledges the talent he’s developed as a swimmer contributes to his success, he says his dedication comes from the way swimming calms him. At the end of a rough week, swimming is one of his favorite ways to relax. “It’s just kind of my time, where I can focus,� he says. “I can focus on my stroke, am I hitting the water, am I rotating enough. I can think about the day and just think

impression on him. “I’d always looked up to him, because he had a really good work ethic, always looked for ways to improve himself, so I’d strive to be like that, so he’s kind of the type of person that I want to be, he has a lot of enthusiasm.� Bublitz says that Whiting taught him less about swimming and more about inner character, and he learned about the importance of looking out for newcomers to the team. “As he has grown up, I have seen him giving a positive attitude to everyone, having fun with anybody on the team no matter who they are, and having the greatest respect to every swimmer on the team,� says Kentridge coach Michael Dobner. “He wants to show how much he cares for all the other swimmers.� His popularity made him a natural candidate for captain, and has contributed to his scholarship at Minnesota, where he plans to study social science. It’s the one subject that’s managed to hold his interest.

There are 14 names painted on the back wall of the small gym inside Kentwood High School. Each one represents a member of the school’s gymnastics “Hall of Fame,� honoring the only top 10 state finishers in school history. An ankle-wrapped arrow of energy whips around in circles, finishing another practice swing on the uneven bars, just in front of the black and green shrine. And as senior Zoe Krambule prepares for yet another dismount, she hopes the landing this time will earn her a place with the other high school legends. “Last year I got 12th,� said Krambule, 17, of Kent. “I was close.� The ultra-petite senior is the only Conquerors gymnast with state aspirations in 2014 and is preparing for her final flips as a student-athlete. After 13 years in club gymnastics and four on the Kentwood squad, she has worked much of her life prepping for a chance to join those elite wall-of-famers. At just 5 feet tall, Krambule is by far the smallest gymnast on the team, which, unlike most other sports, is a benefit, rather than a detriment. “The smaller you are, the more compact you are and the easier it is to do this stuff,� said Ann Diaz, the team’s head coach since 2000. The uneven bars are Krambule’s specialty, but Diaz believes the rolling dynamo could earn a state bid for her floor routine, vault and all-around.

But Krambule’s success extends beyond the mat. She no longer actually attends Kentwood, instead venturing out to Green River Community College for the Running Start program to get an early start on her future. She enjoys her psychology classes and — surprise, surprise — also loves sports. The combination has made choosing a prospective major as easy as a math equation. “Sports and psychology, put them together and you’ve got sports psychology,� she said. “Seems simple.�
