Salary commission to decide pay for mayor, council City panel to review what other cities are paying elected officials
BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com
A five-member Independent Salary Commission will decide later this year whether the Kent mayor and seven City Council members should get pay raises, pay cuts or
keep the same pay. The council approved the formation of the salary commission on Tuesday night. The mayor will appoint the five board members who must be confirmed by the council. “This item came out of the council retreat,” said City Attorney
Tom Brubaker, who presented the proposal to the council’s Operations Committee on Tuesday. “Neither the council nor the mayor has had a salary increase for well over 10 years.” [ more COMMISSION page 4 ]

Kent Mayor Suzette Cooke hopes to be able to brag even more in a few weeks than she did on Wednesday during her State of the City speech. The U.S. General Services Administration plans to pick a site on March 30 from among applications from several cities for a 300,000-square-foot Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) facility to handle about 1,600 employees. Kent wants the facility to be built where the city-owned Riverbend Golf Complex’s par 3 course now sits. “The deal is truly a grand [ more COOKE page 4 ]

The beat goes on for steel drums at Sunrise Elementary School, where the unique sound has resonated for 25 years. Gary Gibson is determined to keep a good thing going. When the Kent school contemplated mothballing the after-school program a few years
ago, Gibson decided to step up and step into the specialized role as director for the Mustangs’ steel drum band. A critically acclaimed and internationally known percussionist, Gibson makes the long commute from Edmonds twice a week to teach 38 Sunrise sixthgraders how to play the naturally [ more DRUMS page 5 ]

A city of Kent deputy attorney remains confident the state Supreme Court will uphold Kent’s ban on medical marijuana collective gardens. Pat Fitzpatrick argued the city’s case in front of the Supreme Court on Feb. 24 in Olympia. The court agreed last year to review earlier decisions by the state Court of Appeals and King County Superior Court to affirm the city’s authority to prohibit medical marijuana collective gardens from operating in Kent. The Seattle-based Cannabis Action Coalition filed the initial
lawsuit against the city in June 2012 in an effort to prohibit the city from enforcing its ban on collective gardens because the state regulates medical marijuana collectives, and cities cannot enforce federal law over state medical marijuana laws. The group has appealed each of the earlier court decisions. “I am confident the Supreme Court will agree with the superior and appellate courts that cities have the authority to prohibit business that are established to distribute medical cannabis,” Fitzpatrick said in an email after the oral arguments. “A city is in the best position to determine which land uses are most appropriate for its jurisdic-
tion. The Legislature recognized this when it passed the Medical Cannabis Act and the Superior Court and Court of Appeals agreed that cities may prohibit medical cannabis businesses.” David Mann, a Seattle attorney representing Deryck Tsang, who owns a Kent medical marijuana collective garden and also is a plaintiff in the lawsuit, told the Supreme Court that the city cannot ban medical marijuana collective gardens. “We don’t think there is authority to regulate or to ban outright,” Mann said to the justices. “In the grand scheme, the Legislature intended to allow collective gardens.”

Man faces kidnapping charge for taking 12-year-old girl from school
Sound Transit is planning to extend light rail from the future Angle Lake Station (opening in 2016) at South 200th Street in SeaTac to the Kent/Des Moines area by 2023. The project also develops a shovel-ready plan for extending light rail to the vicinity of the Federal Way Transit Center when additional funding is secured. For the past few months, Sound Transit staff has been meeting with affected property owners about the potential impacts of the alternatives and will continue their outreach efforts until Sound Transit’s Board identifies a preferred alternative in summer 2015.
SEARCH FOR HISTORY
The Supreme Court isn’t expected to make a ruling for at least several months. “I would anticipate the Court’s decision will be issued in four months to a year,” Fitzpatrick said. The Kent City Council voted 4-3 in 2012 to approve an ordinance to ban medical cannabis collective gardens. That decision immediately triggered a lawsuit by the Cannabis Action Coalition and the case of Steve Sarich v. the city of Kent. Sarich delivered a copy of the lawsuit to Mayor Suzette Cooke the night the council passed the ban.

A 34-year-old Seattle man faces a second-degree kidnapping charge in connection with luring a 12-year-old Kent school girl he met through Facebook. King County prosecutors also charged Hugo Alonso-Martinez with communication with a minor for immoral purposes for reportedly agreeing to meet with a 14-yearold girl, who was a King County Sheriff ’s Office detective posing as the girl. He is scheduled to be arraigned on Thursday, March 12 in King County Superior Court. Alonso-Martinez allegedly kidnapped the 12-year-old girl on Jan. 30 from Meeker Middle School in the Kent School District when he picked up the girl after school and drove her to Bremerton, according to charging papers. Shortly after school was out, the student’s mother reported her missing. Bremerton Police found the girl about five hours later in Bremerton at a friend’s house. She was treated at a local hospital for possible sexual assault. Alonso-Martinez reportedly sent the girl text messages that included him telling her she was his “princess” and his “babe.” He promised

Detectives later determined Diego to be Alonso-Martinez. Surveillance video from Meeker Middle School on Jan. 30 showed a silver Dodge van pulling into the parking lot and a Hispanic man picking up the girl before leaving the school. The girl told detectives AlonsoMartinez bought her snacks and gave her money during the van ride. Alonso-Martinez admitted to detectives that he picked up the girl from the school. He said he gave her $20 to buy snacks for the ride and another $40 when he dropped her off in Bremerton. He denied any sexual contact with the girl. Detectives arrested Alonso-Martinez on Feb. 24 after he agreed to meet a detective who posed online as a girl, 14. The man promised to give the girl a phone and computer if she met him at a Renton library. Deputies arrested Alonso-Martinez when he showed up at the library. Alonso-Martinez remained in custody this week at the county jail in Seattle with bail set at $200,000.

The new offices are scheduled to open in August 2017. “Imagine what other economic opportunities this development could attract, this gateway of our community,” she said about the Meeker Street site along the Green River. The mayor spent several minutes boasting about the numerous businesses in the warehouse district and how much she looks forward to the January opening of the new Amazon fulfillment center on property formerly owned by Boeing. “Amazon is shipping 500 more jobs to Kent when its state-of-the-art, 1.2 millionsquare-foot-fulfillment center is finished,” Cooke said. Amazon officials plan to use drones to deliver some of the products, the mayor said. “That might sound controversial to some of us but this technology will likely be as commonplace as our smartphones are today,” she said.

Cooke said the sale price was $10 million. “This deal would also allow us a sustainable future for the Riverbend Golf Complex,” said Cooke, in her 10th year as mayor. “Not only would we be able to pay off the operating debt (of about $2.6 million), we would finally be able to reinvest in the 18-hole golf course (capital costs estimated at $6 million).” Cooke emphasized it’s a highly competitive fight

Squealing Brakes… Q.
My car has recently started making a squeal noise while driving that actually goes away when I apply the brakes. What could be wrong?
A.
Most likely your brake pads are worn sufficiently enough to allow their “wear indicators” or “sensor” to touch the disc brake rotor. When this occurs the “sensor” emits that high pitch noise designed to warn you that your brakes need immediate attention. Have them checked promptly by a certified brake system specialist and have the brakes serviced before expensive damage or loss of brakes occurs.

plenty of praise from Cooke. The Platform Apartments, along West Smith Street and Fourth Avenue North, are 70 percent leased since opening in October. “As our first community urban-style, urban-quality, multifamily housing project, it has set the new standard for downtown living,” Cooke said. “The 172 units translates to over 250 people that weren’t downtown before. These people will help ensure restaurants are full on Wednesday nights not just on weekends or when there are ShoWare Center events.” Seattle developer Tarragon is building the 154-unit Kent Station Apartments along Fourth Avenue North, on the same property as the shopping center and just a block up from The Platform Apartments. The Kent Station Apartments are expected to be finished in spring 2016. “Their building is valued at over $15 million, an investment that will further enliven Kent’s downtown,” Cooke said. Cooke admitted, however, that not everything is rosy in the city. She said city finances remain a challenge because budgets are no longer sus($112,800), according to 2013 figures compiled by the city. The council, which has had the power to raise pay for its members and the mayor, didn’t take any action on Cooke’s proposal. The commission will review what other cities are paying elected officials with assistance from the city human resources staff.

Two Kent residents indicted as part of large bank fraud ring BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com
Two Kent residents were among 10 people indicted last week as part of large bank fraud ring allegedly responsible for nearly a million dollars in fraud. Clayton L. Bias Jr., 25, and Shawn A. Turner, 24, were among the defendants indicted in U.S. District Court in Seattle, according to a U.S. Attorney’s Office media release. They are accused of using stolen checks to inflate bank account balances and withdraw cash. The indictment alleges that between November 2010 and the present, the co-schemers used 219 different bank accounts to steal more than $987,000 from the banks. Eight of the defendants are in custody. Seven made their initial appearances in U.S. District Court on Feb. 26. Two defendants were still being sought, and one defendant is in state custody and made his appearance this week. According to the indictment, the defendants allegedly used stolen checks to make fraudulent deposits into various bank accounts. Using debit cards, the co-schemers would withdraw large amounts of cash before the bank determined the check used to inflate the balance was no good. Some of the people whose bank accounts were inflated were complicit in the fraud, allowing the co-schemers to use their debit cards.
munity, one with human resources expertise and two at-large commissioners. “I think this is certainly something that needs to be looked at, not necessarily because it’s something that I need or want,” Councilman Jim Berrios said at the Operations Committee meeting. “But if we look at the fact that it’s been sometime and we also have five (council) positions that are up for election (this year). So time-wise I think it’s a good opportunity to take a look at it.” Numerous cities determine salary increases through citizen commissions. Kent used to have a salary commission under Mayor Jim White until it disbanded about a dozen years ago. “It got to be controversial,” said Brubaker in an interview. “Everyone gets mad at a salary increase for
elected officials. The threeperson commission raised salaries because they were out of whack with what other cities paid. The clamor never died down and the complaints came in. Mayor White recommended it and the council disbanded it. The salaries have been frozen ever since.” The new ordinance to form the commission goes into effect in 30 days. The mayor and council will soon pick the committee members, who are expected to meet at least twice before July 1 and come up with salary figures. The commission could decide to adjust salaries and benefits and include a fixed annual salary inflation factor. If the board goes that route, the council will take steps to disband it but keep the salary schedule established by the commission.

Even with these changes, the structural deficit remains.” The mayor said she and the council soon will form a 15-member task force to recommend what the city’s service delivery model should look like in the future. Cooke didn’t touch on how to address the more than $3.2 million operating deficit at the city-owned ShoWare Center since it opened in 2009, including a recordsetting loss of $752,324 in 2014. She said the arena has plenty of economic impact on Kent. “One thing to always keep in mind as we look at the finances of this facility, its activities are pumping an average of $23 million a year into our local economy,” she said.

Sunrise is one of the few elementary schools around that owns – 18 in all – and frequently plays different sets of steels drums. “I didn’t want to see this thing go under,” said Gibson, now his third year with the program. “It makes for a great after-school program.” Sunrise had one of the largest elementary school steel drum programs in the country, the product of its hard-working founder and director, Michael Bento, a friend of Gibson. When Bento left teaching for health reasons several years ago, the program was without a director, and the school struggled to fill it. Enter Gibson. The program, as Gibson explained, is practical, affordable and different. Students receive instruction and play several concerts throughout a semester for a $50 fee, which pays Gibson’s contract. There are no equipment rental fees. And kids pick it up right away. Steel pans and drums are not as technically intimidating to learn, Gibson said. They have more of a gentle learning curve for the beginning player. As students grasp the basics, they tend to sound good

I like being able to play an instrument that a lot of other schools don’t get a chance to play.” Sarah Hanson played the steel drums at Sunrise four years ago, and misses the opportunity to perform. “It was awesome, it was so much fun,” said Hanson, a sophomore at Kentwood High School. “The highpitched drums make for a real cool sound.” For Gibson, the bigger picture is to promote the arts. He not only teaches the drums to students and adults in Edmonds, he has established a nonprofit organization – Steel Magic Northwest – devoted to promoting the participation and performance quality of the instrument in the Seattle area. “I’m trying to raise the bar and yes, I am fascinated by the instrument. I’m passionate about it,” said Gibson, who made his first drum out of an old saucer sled when he was 10. “I’m eager to show the Seattle area what they’ve
been missing.” Part of Gibson’s vision is to establish and grow steel drum programs in schools and communities. Kent offers some promise. “I have seen how successful the programs can be in other cities, where this is taken more seriously and the value of it as an after-school program is much more realized,” said Gibson, who has travelled extensively as a clinician and concert artist throughout the country. “I just want to make a difference where I live.” To learn more about the Gibson’s nonprofit organization, visit www.steelmagicnorthwest. org.

● QUOTE OF NOTE:
DSHS flu shot mandate opens our eyes to bigger problems In early January, the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) blindsided foster parents with a rule change requiring them to receive the flu vaccine by the end of February or be prohibited from caring for foster children under two years of age. As you may have heard, this year’s flu vaccine is only 23 percent effective. Meanwhile, just 50 percent of doctors receive the shot, and Pierce County nurses are suing over being required to receive it. DSHS’s mandate threatens to chase hundreds of foster parents out of the system when Washington state needs them most. I am continuing to work toward reversing or delaying this rule before we unnecessarily harm the children who urgently need a safe and loving environment to live in. Rule making like this brings to light two governance problems that constantly plague Washington state. Impractical design is the first. Take, for example, our roads. We could build all of our roads with guardrails along every square inch, placing beautiful sound barriers, bike lanes and walking paths along them. We could ensure every drop of water runoff is completely purified, every plant is preserved and every animal has a safe route across. But doing all of this would not be practical. If we set about to build every road this way, almost no roads would be built at all because we couldn’t afford the enormous costs. Our economy would be harmed, and as a result, people would be harmed. The point of the example is that we need to build our roads with practical design in mind. Besides basic roads, the question is what else is needed for a reasonable level of safety and preservation of our environment? If we go too far beyond practical design, we [ more HARGROVE page 7 ]

They sign contracts. They have required hours of work. The hours they do work are intense, supervised, and I imagine, can often exceed 40 hours a week (long road trips). I’m disappointed, to say the least, our local legislators are ignoring the overwhelming and obvious facts (and what the NCAA believes) in this matter and, instead, appear to be pandering to a loud minority whose only concern is financial gain.

While 20 years seems like a long time, airport megaprojects take years to design, permit, finance and construct.

Business climate
Kent is the sixth-largest city in Washington and is an economic powerhouse; our primary objective is to increase jobs, competitiveness and regional productivity. Strategically located, Kent is 15 miles from the Port of Seattle and the Port of Tacoma, which leads many manufacturing, warehousing and suppliers to locate in the Kent Valley. Kent is the fourth-largest manufacturing and distribution area in the United States with substantial economic impact on the state of Washington’s budget. • We must protect the asset of the Kent Valley by ensuring slight improvement in health safety that may or may not be realized is accompanied by a loss of foster parents from our system, which is far more detrimental to these children in the long run. All across our government, well-meaning officials are constantly crossing the line, as their additional rules start causing more harm than good. That has to change. The second governance problem plaguing our state is unelected rule making. The Department of Labor and Industries should be working to help our businesses succeed. However, I know of case after case where a well-meaning
department administrator has created or reinterpreted a rule, making it unnecessarily more difficult for businesses to survive, much less thrive. And that administrator is unlikely to change said rule, even if business owners and legislators point out the pain it is causing. Legislation is often the only recourse available for changing specific rules. It is remarkable that one unelected administrator can make a rule that detrimentally affects thousands of Washingtonians, and it takes 76 elected officials to change that rule (50 state representatives, 25 state senators and the governor). Doesn’t that seem contrary to

And Delta has begun competing directly with Alaska Airlines, even flying into Alaska’s remote state capitol, Juneau.

Vandals shatter windows, leave graffiti on Hindu temple walls REPORTER STAFF
Vandals broke several windows and scrawled the word “FEAR” on a wall at a Kent Hindu temple on Feb. 26. The FBI and Kent Police are investigating. Officials consider it a hate crime. This was the second such incident in recent days in the region. Earlier in February, vandals spray-painted a swastika and the words “get out” on a Hindu temple in Bothell. Hindu spokesman Rajan Zed, in a statement released last Friday, said that the latest incident is shocking for a hard-working, harmonious and peaceful Hindu community to receive such signals of hatred and anger. Followers of the temple are unsure whether they were targeted for their faith or if neighborhood teens were just causing trouble.

Voters to make the call on emergency radio system upgrade BY DENNIS BOX dbox@covingtonreporter.com
King County voters will see a property tax levy on the April 28 special election ballot seeking funds to replace the county’s emergency radio system. The County Council approved the ordinance 8-1 to place the nine-year property tax levy lid lift on the ballot. Councilman Pete von Reichbauer voted against the measure. The lid lift allows the county to collect property taxes above the state limitation. According to Councilman Joe McDermott, the sponsor of the ordinance, the levy will replace
the county’s emergency radio system. McDermont said at Monday’s council meeting the levy would raise $273 million. According to county staff, the vendor support of the radio system will end in 2018, which is used by police and fire agencies. David Mendel, Regional Communications services manager, said after 2018 the vendor “level of support” for the radio system will end and the risk of catastrophic failure of the system increases.

Get dirty: time to find right soil, mulch tips from successful soil companies that have managed to keep their products weed and debris free and their customers happy over the years:

THE GARDENER
Ask if the company does product testing and how often they test the soil. Jami Burke is a horticulturist with Corliss Resources, an indoor compost-making operation based in Sumner. “Our soil is tested quarterly and we undergo strict testing as a registered organic material with the Washington State Department of Agriculture," Burke said. "Constant monitoring of the heat and oxygen is key to creating clean, weed free compost.” Corliss Resources also sells topsoil that mixes its own weed-free compost with sand and loam and offers a two-way mix suitable for lawn renovation and a three-way mix for landscaping and garden beds. To learn more, visit www.corlissresources.com. Marianne Binetti
Spring projects sprout this time of year. March is good time to restore and rejuvenate an old lawn, start some raised beds for vegetables and weed and mulch the flower and shrub beds to keep out future weeds and conserve soil moisture. These spring projects will require soil and mulch resources. So here is the garden gossip – buying soil can be a dirty business. The sale of “topsoil” is not a regulated industry in our state. Time to educate yourself and ask questions before you purchase topsoil for landscape or lawn renovation projects. My mail tells me that the biggest consumer complaint about buying topsoil, bark or compost are that these products can be contaminated with horse tail or other noxious weeds. Consumers also have reported on having a load of “soil” delivered that is full of large rocks, building debris such as nails and sheet rock and even undecomposed food scraps and garbage. Gardeners in Western Washington are lucky to have many vendors of soil, compost and mulches with excellent reputations that have been in business for many years. Here are some

resources given to them from their organically fed and free-range cow, calf and dairy operation. “We have a closed-loop system for feeding and caring for our animals," Gwerder said. "We know our manure-based mulching product will be weed free because we heat our product to 180 degrees and age it for two to five years. We don’t truck in raw materials, so we know exactly what goes into our moo-doo – it all comes from our organic farm from start to finish.” To learn more, visit Hy Grass Farms at www.moo-doo.com.

Ask where the product is created and who oversees the operation. Tagro is municipal sludge or bio solids recycled by the city of Tacoma into a mix with sawdust and bark that can be added as an amendment to lawns and garden beds. Tagro is not sold as a topsoil but rather as a product to improve existing soils. Tagro is made on site in Tacoma and is available for pick up or delivery. Donald Boe, a local Tagro expert, explains that creating Tagro is a dual digestion process that uses beneficial organisms to digest the solids and also a threetemperature phase heat cycle to remove odor, weeds and other pathogens. Tagro is tested and

graded by the EPA and has earned a Class A ranking for exceptional quality. To learn more, visit www.Tagro. com. Consumers also need to know that finding occasional clods or dirt lumps, small rocks or a bit of stringy material in a load of compost of topsoil does not detract from the overall quality of the product. What you should be concerned about are visible weeds, especially horsetail, undecomposed branches, fresh manure, cigarette butts, plastic pieces or any undecomposed food scraps. All the dirt on words to know: • Compost: a soil amendment of well-rotted organic matter often made from collected yard waste. Compost can be used to improve existing soils and is excellent for raised bed vegetable gardens. • Two-way mix: Usually a mix of compost and sand. This is the best for layering on top of a well-aerated lawn and sprinkling lawn seeds on top for lawn renovation. The sand in the mix means it will drain well and can be used to rake over moss and low spots in the lawn. • Three- or five-way mix: Compost, sand and loam plus in some cases sawdust and bark are mixed. This creates a soil that holds water better than a two-way mix but drains better than a compost. GTON N PRESENTS WASHIN COMMISSIO F EE STATE B

See Marianne Marianne Binetti hosts “Dig In Seattle,” a garden and cooking show that is back on the air. You can watch the show via podcast at www.diginseattle.com or on Channel 22 KZJO TV at 12:30 p.m. Saturdays. The show focuses on local gardening tips and cooking demos from local chefs.
Good for creating planting berms for trees and shrubs, and can also be used for growing vegetables and flowers. • Mulch: anything that goes on top of the soil to block out weeds and seal in moisture. In some areas rocks and gravel are used as a mulch but in Western Washington bark and wood chips are the most common mulching materials. • Composted manure: Western Washington is dairy country and well composted dairy manure is available from some local farmers for use as a soil amendment and in some cases as a weed blocking mulch. To avoid weed seeds the manure should be heated in a pile and aged so that it is well rotted.

T-BIRDS TOP ROYALS, CLINCH PLAYOFF SPOT Shea Theodore had a goal and two assists and goalie Taran Kozun made 29 saves Tuesday night to lead the Seattle Thunderbirds to a 4-1 Western Hockey League win over the Victoria Royals in British Columbia. The win – combined with the Vancouver Giants’ 7-0 loss to Spokane on Tuesday night – clinched a playoff spot for the T-Birds. Seattle (32-23-4-5) has 73 points. Theodore needs 16 more assists to tie the team record for career assists by a defenseman. Craig Channel holds the record with 166 career assists. Theodore is the T-Birds’ career leader for goals and points by a defenseman with 56 goals and 150 assists for 206 career points. The T-Birds travel to Portland to face the Winterhawks at 7 p.m. Friday at the Moda Center. They are home at the ShoWare Center for a 7:05 p.m. game Saturday against the Kamloops Blazers.

of a long season, he added 15 pounds of muscle to his 6-foot-1 frame, a result of an offseason filled with weight training and steady drills. To improve his approach to the plate, he wore out batting cages, even imploring his friends, some of whom are minor league pitchers, to throw to him in bullpen sessions. The result? A more confident 210-pound kid with a cannonlike arm behind the plate as he embraces spring training in Bradenton, Fla., where he likely will end up playing this season for the Marauders, a Pirates’ Class A affiliate. “Last year I was trying to figure out the player I was,” McGuire said after a day on the diamond in Florida last week. “This year going in I have a better understanding of myself as a player and in what I need to do
to prepare.” Last season brought out many highs and lows in McGuire’s game. But he finished with a flurry and produced some good numbers. With the Pirates’ Low-A (Charleston) West Virginia Power last season, McGuire more than held his own with the bat as a defense-first catcher in the South Atlantic League (Sally), where the average age is nearly 22. McGuire hit .262 with 11 doubles, four triples, three home runs and 45 RBIs. “It was good competition, for sure,” McGuire said of the Sally play. “Every team has pitchers who throw in the low 90s, as well as our team that we had. … There are a lot of guys out of college who are juniors and seniors [ more MCGUIRE page 15 ]

Kentwood wins; KR loses at regionals REPORTER STAFF
Landon Radliff scored 28 points, triggering highpowered Richland past Kentridge 78-51 in the regional round of the state Class 4A Hardwood Classic boys basketball playoffs on Feb. 27 at Pasco’s Chiawana High School. Steven Beo added 22 points and nine assists in the victory. No. 5 Richland (19-4) advanced to the Round of 8 this week in the Tacoma Dome. Richland opened play on Thursday against No. 7 Davis (19-4). Results were unavailable at press time. It is the Bombers’ third consecutive trip to the dome. The Chargers finished the season 18-7. It was Kentridge’s sixth regional playoff appearance in the last nine seasons. “I thought we achieved a lot of our goals and played at a level that matched our talent,” said Kentridge coach Dave Jamison. “We have a decent core return-
[ MCGUIRE from page 14 ] with a lot of experience pitching … so it was a good year.” Finding consistency at the plate is a challenge for any young player to find. McGuire knows as much. “For me, I’ve never been real big on the power, so I’m going to let that come as it goes as a player,” McGuire said. “I just want to come up with a consistent approach at the plate and stick with it. “Last year, (depending on whether) I was up or down dictated my approach at the next at-bat,” he said, “It was my first full season, so I had to overcome some adversity. (This season) I want to find that consistent approach and trust it.”
Kentwood senior Marcus LuBom drives to the basket during Saturday’s regional game against Camas at Puyallup High School. The Conks won to advance to the state tournament. SARAH WEHMANN, Reporter ing for next year, but it will be a challenge to replace the leadership our seniors provided us.” Nick Hopson led the Chargers with 14 points and four rebounds. Joran Ticeson had 10 points. Ethan Walker added nine
points and four rebounds, and Deon Thomas finished with seven points.
Elsewhere
Defensively, McGuire had a 39-percent caughtstealing rate. The Pirates organization likes McGuire for his “great receiving skills, blocking skills, and a plus arm.” He also has good, quick footwork with no wasted movements when transitioning from catching the ball to throwing out a runner. McGuire has had to learn how to handle the pitching staff. At Charleston, he has grown behind the plate and how he deals with the personalities and pitch selections of those he catches. “We all worked together,” he said. “Each pitcher is a different guy, so I had to learn how to approach them on the field, but also spend time off the field and get to know them. That re-
ally helps (the staff) and the camaraderie of the team.” McGuire is living the dream. Long bus trips. Neat cities. Cool ballparks. “I wouldn’t want to have it any other way,” he said. “I’m soaking it all in, taking it day-by-day and enjoying this opportunity. I feel blessed.” McGuire also finds time to check in frequently with family, including chats and updates with his brothers. Cash, who is recovering from shoulder surgery, is working his way back onto the field as a junior at Seattle University. Shane has begun his sophomore season at Kentwood. “They are a big part of my life,” McGuire said. “I wouldn’t be where I am today without them.”
Kentwood 55, Camas 53: Marcus LuBom scored 12 points to lead a balanced attack as the Conquerors beat
the Papermakers in a 4A regional playoff at Puyallup High School last Saturday. No. 3 Kentwood (23-3) faced No. 8 Woodinville (18-6) in a state quarterfinal in the Tacoma Dome on Thursday (results unavailable at press time). For Kentwood, Malik Sanchez and Darius LuBom scored 10 points apiece, and Preston White and Rayvaughn Bolton each had eight. The game got close when Kentwood was up one, 5352, with 17 seconds left. Sanchez was fouled but White was called for a technical for arguing with a Camas player. Sanchez went to the line first, making both of his free throws, increasing the Conks’ lead to 55-52. Trevor Jasinsky went to the line for Camas but missed both shots. Camas in-bounded the ball after the technical and Jasinsky was fouled. He made one of the two shots and brought Camas within two points, 55-53. That would be the last score of the game. LuBom went to the line and missed two free throws with 4.4 seconds remaining. The Papermakers rebounded the second miss and had a chance to win or tie the game. When Camas looked to pass near halfcourt,

Girls basketball Skyview 54, Kentlake 53: The Falcons season ended Saturday with a loss at regionals to Skyview at WF West High School in Chehalis. At the half, Kentlake was down four, trailing 24-20. The Falcons scored 18 points in the third quarter
cutting Skyview’s lead to one, 39-38. Both teams scored 15 points in the fourth quarter and it wasn’t enough to advance the girls to the state tournament. Sophomore guard Sydney Peterson had a team-high 20 points for the Falcons. Kentlake finished the season with an overall record of 20-7.

Kent woman part of U.S. Navy aircraft carrier crew FOR THE REPORTER
1260785
Petty Officer 2nd Class Adrienne Powers, a 2008 Kentwood High School graduate and Kent native, serves aboard the U.S. Navy’s forwarddeployed aircraft carrier USS George Washington, stationed at a U.S. Navy base in Yokosuka, Japan, 35 miles south of Tokyo. Powers is a mass communication specialist. While out at sea, the ship visits numerous countries each year such as the Philippines, Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand. George Washington is one of only 10 operational aircraft carriers in the U.S. Navy. It is the sixth Nimitz-class carrier and the fourth Navy vessel named after the first president of the United States. Measuring nearly 1,100 feet from bow to stern on the flight deck, the ship is longer than three football fields. It is 257 feet wide, 244 feet high and weighs nearly 100,000 tons. As a sailor with numerous responsibilities, Powers said she is proud to serve her country aboard an aircraft
carrier in Japan. “One thing I enjoy about serving aboard the ship is the closeness that you feel when you are stuck around the same people all the time that you normally wouldn’t feel,” said Powers in a Navy media release. Powers Powers also said she is proud of the work she is doing as part of the Washington’s 3,300-member crew, living thousands of miles from home, and protecting America on the world’s oceans. “It’s my job to tell the story of the Navy and its history through a variety of different ways with photography, video and writing articles,” Powers said. Assigned to the Navy’s Seventh Fleet, George Washington sailors are continuously on watch throughout the Indo-Asia-Pacific region, acting as one of America’s first responders in the Navy’s largest area of responsibility. Sailors’ jobs are highly varied aboard George Washington. The ship’s company, which keeps all parts of the aircraft carrier running smoothly, including everything from launching and recovering aircraft to operating its nuclear propulsion plant. Another 2,000 sailors are assigned to the ship’s
embarked air wing, Carrier Air Wing Five, flying and maintaining aircraft aboard the ship. “I never cease to be impressed with the type and quality of work that goes on aboard the carrier each day,” said Capt. Timothy Kuehhas, the carrier’s commanding officer. “Our team is filled with highly qualified young adults – in many cases, 19 and 20 years old – and they’re out here launching and recovering aircraft, running a complex propulsion system safely, serving as air traffic controllers, operating sophisticated electronics, and keeping this floating city alive and functioning.” George Washington is also a selfsustaining, mobile airport and, like each of the Navy’s aircraft carriers, is designed for a 50-year service life. While under way, the ship carries more than 70 jets, helicopters and other aircraft, all of which take off from and land on the carrier’s 4.5-acre flight deck. Four powerful catapults launch aircraft off the bow of the ship. After lowering a tail hook that protrudes from the rear of the aircraft, jets and aircraft land by snagging a steel cable called an arresting wire.
