Community remembers teen for his love of life State budget tags $1.3 billion for education
Editor’s note: The boy’s name is not being released in this story per a request for privacy from the family. BY REBECCA GOURLEY Staff Reporter
A gathering was held June 24 for a 14-year-old Tahoma Junior High student who died Tuesday, June 23, after being underwater in Lake Wilderness for about 40 minutes. His friends, classmates and teachers shared stories about him and the impact he had on their lives at the New Community Church gathering. The teen was described as “always positive” and having an innate ability to make people smile and laugh. A few of his peers reminded those in attendance to always be thankful for what you have, because “it can be all gone in a second.” The teen’s sister, whose name will not be released, described her brother as “joyful” and “optimistic” in an email to The Reporter. She said, “On behalf of my family I would like to thank all of the amazing people that risked their lives to save my brother’s life. You were all very courageous and selfless when my brother needed you the most and we can’t thank you enough. My brother was an optimistic and very joyful person. He always found a way to brighten anyone’s heart and brought a proud smile to everyone’s face. He lived life full of excitement and never backed down to the harder things in life. He was truly brave until the [ more LIFE page 2 ]

The state Legislature passed a two-year operating budget Monday evening after many late nights of negotiations. The race to the budget finish line took two special session and the beginning of a third. Gov. Jay Inslee had to sign the bill by midnight Tuesday for the government to continue operating. Sen. Joe Fain, R-Auburn, said Sunday evening many members and staff had Joe Fain worked many late nights to finish the bill. Allowing the operating budget vote to go beyond Tuesday would have meant passing a continuing resolution to fund the government for a month. Fain said the continuing resolution was a backup plan if negotiations fell apart, but he felt it was “unacceptable.” Senate members announced a tentative agreement was reached Saturday, the 163rd day of the session. Fain said Sunday evening he and others were working on getting the [ more BUDGET page 2 ]
Fireworks stand raises money for 9/11 memorial BY REBECCA GOURLEY Reporter
After terror struck Manhattan and Washington, D.C. on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, Clark Davis said he was on the first possible plane out of Seattle to New York to help in whatever way he could. Davis is an insurance agent in Maple Valley who attends Real Life Church. One week out of the year, he also runs a fireworks stand in town. Each year, he selects a charity or nonprofit group to benefit from the sales at the fireworks stand. This year, he is donating the profits to the 9/11 memorial that will be built at Maple Valley Fire Station 81. During a recent City Council meeting, a presentation was made to council members about the memo-
rial project and Davis said he was squirming in his chair, eager to jump headfirst into fundraising. When several council members said they wanted to allocate some funds that night to help the project, Davis said he was trying to motion to them to not do it. He said he remembered thinking, “Don’t write the check, give (the community) the opportunity (to help).” For Davis, the sight of communities coming together for a cause is all too familiar. “I spent three months at ground zero after 9/11, serving first responders meals,” he said in a phone interview.

vote done by Monday. “We’ve had a good response so far,” Fain said. “I’m optimistic.” Fain said funding for schools and teacher salaries were increased in the budget and there was a college tuition reduction. A few highlights are the budget allots $1.3 billion for K-12 education, funds added for all-day kindergarten and pay increases for teachers and state employees. Fain said the operating budget comes without any new taxes. School funding has become the Sword of Damocles hanging over the 2015 Legislature. The state Supreme Court found the state of Washington in contempt for not complying with the Court’s Jan. 5, 2012 McCleary v.
Washington order, which directed the Legislature to fulfill its funding obligation as stated in Article IX of the state Constitution. The Constitutional clause reads: “It is the paramount duty of the state to make ample provision for the education of all children residing within its borders, without distinction or preference on account of race, color, caste, or sex.” The balancing act for the House, Senate and governor was to find the money to pay for schools, roads, human services and a myriad of other services. In the January contempt finding, Chief Justice Barbara A. Madsen wrote the state “failed” to submit a funding plan by April 30. Madsen wrote, “Sanctions and other remedial measures are held in abeyance,” to allow the Legislature to comply by the end of the 2015 session.
[ LIFE from page 1] very end. I never knew how many lives he touched while he was here until I heard the overwhelming stories. I know that we’ve all suffered from this loss but we should continue to remember those wonderful stories. In the words of my brother ‘C’mon man, cheer up!’ Let’s continue to stay strong and positive for the boy that never ever gave up on us.” Shortly after the teen, who attended Tahoma Junior High School, died, a GoFundMe page was started by a friend of the family to help with medical and funeral expenses. Earlier this week, the total was more than $10,000 raised by 171 people. Anyone interested in sending a card to the family can email the family spokesperson at dreynide@ yahoo.com.

TRAGEDY On June 23, the teen was with a group of friends swimming near a private beach on the East side of the lake when he went under, according to a release from Maple Valley Fire and Life Safety. An off-duty Kent police officer, who was nearby
with his family, called 911 immediately and then jumped into the water in an attempt to rescue the teen. Dive teams from the Renton Police Department and King County Sheriff ’s Office arrived and pulled the teen out of the water, approximately 40 minutes after he had gone under. Once he was out of the water, paramedics were able to get a heartbeat after CPR was performed. The teen was then airlifted to Harborview Medical Center where he later died due to anoxic encephalopathy, or lack of oxygen to the brain.

Maple Valley fireworks ban fails at council meeting BY REBECCA GOURLEY
Reporter
Summer Events JULY 3 Fourth of July celebration 10:30 a.m. Black Diamond Community Center
www.blackdiamondcc.org
The sale and use of fireworks will continue to be allowed in the city of Maple Valley for at least another year. The City Council voted 3-3 Monday night (Councilman Layne Barnes was absent) on a motion to ban the use and sale of fireworks within the city. Needing a majority vote on the issue, the motion failed. Council member Sean Kelly, Linda Johnson and Dana Parnello voted in favor of the ban. Voting against were Bill Allison, Noel Gerken and Erin Weaver. Setting off fireworks is already prohibited in the city, like most of the county, with the exception of three days, 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. July 4 and 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. Dec. 31 and Jan. 1. This amendment would have banned fireworks year-round, includ-
ing any sale of fireworks. Several people from both sides of the issue spoke during the public comment portion at the beginning of the meeting Monday night. Those in favor of a ban cited safety and noise concerns, especially for veterans suffering from post traumatic stress disorder. They also pointed out that the weather this year has been exceptionally dry in comparison to previous years. However, the ban, if it had passed Monday night, wouldn’t have taken effect until June 29, 2016. According to City Attorney Jeff Taraday, any ordinance adopted by a county or city that is more restrictive than state law needs to have an effective date one year after its adoption. Because of the council’s timing for their upcoming meetings, that means discharging and the sale of fireworks will still be allowed within the city
July 3, 2015 [3]
through July 4, 2016. Even though the council’s deadlock vote caused the motion to ban fireworks fail, there was consensus by those council members in attendance to put a measure on the November ballot to ask residents whether they want to ban fireworks or not. If voters approve a fireworks ban, it would still take one calendar year to take effect, according to Taraday. Those opposed to the ban cited patriotism and teaching kids about fire safety as some of their reasons for not supporting a ban. In addition, several people that spoke during public comment said a lot of the fireworks stands in Maple Valley support a nonprofit or youth organization. Jessica Zielinksi, who lives in unincorporated King County, expressed concern about the ban “taking money out of kids hands� because of the nonprofits the fireworks stands support. “Taking those dollars out of the community would be a huge disservice to the community members,� She said. The Reporter will continue to follow up on this issue.

SHIGELLA
*HW UHDG\ IRU WKH
There is a fairly new visitor to the United States, and it’s safe to say that it is not a welcome one. Shigella, a drugresistant strain of bacteria, has been spreading across the country, likely brought back from other countries by travelers. This strain of the shigella sonnei bacteria appears to be resistant to the antibiotic Cipro, which is often given to people who travel just in case they end up developing a case of diarrhea. Like most intestinalwoe-causing bugs, Shigella is easily spread, and it seems to do so especially effortlessly in places where people are in close contact such as day care centers. Symptoms are diarrhea, which can be bloody; fever; and abdominal pain. Children between the ages of 2 and 4 are most likely to get shigella infection. A mild case usually clears up on its own within a week, and sometimes can be resolved with plenty of fluids and rest. When treatment is needed, doctors generally prescribe antibiotics. It may take weeks or months before bowel habits return to normal. For more information, please call (253) 395-1972. Our Covington clinic is located at 27005 168th Place SE. Our primary care providers are supported by a network of multi-specialty physicians and services.

That darn water. For thousands of years we mostly upright humans have prayed to it, started wars over it, killed people in it and with it, built fancy huts to be close to it and tried to figure out ways to get out of it or get more of it. Whether the water is falling from the sky or spraying out of the ground, it is sure to be unpredictable, complex and nearly always perplexing. In my experience, I have found when I want water to fall from above, the sky is as all blue and happy. When I need blue skies looking at me, black clouds suddenly fight each other to fill the spot directly over my head. I suspect someone up there has a twisted sense of humor. Plumbing is another tale of water woe for me. I can’t tell you how many $20 books I have bought telling me in simple steps how to stop the dopey waterfall from my pipes. Why do guys pictured in those books always looks so smiley and clean? Every plumbing job I do ends up as a mass of black, smelly foulness, and of course endless leaks. Sometimes the pipe waits for me to leave and go to bed before it starts gushing. There is something about this formless element that be piles of fun for many or mountains of misery. Droughts are no joke. We may live in the land of rain, but the current drought that will likely be costly to farmers and shoppers in grocery stores. The agriculture industry in Eastern Washington and in many places on this side of the state are taking a hit, and some may not recover. Long dry spells cause aquifers to become underground puddles. Those below the surface lakes are a fascinating subject and guarded by the Department Dennis Box Editor
Seeing ideas from both sides “As all conservatives know, liberals are a bunch of sandal-wearing, tree-hugging, whale-saving, hybrid-driving, trash-recycling, peaceniks, flip-floppers and bed-wetters.” This quotation comes from psychologist, author and publisher Michael Shermer in a comment about an article titled, “What Makes People vote Republican?” by Jonathan Haidt. Shermer is commenting about the author’s characterization of conservatives: “As Haidt notes, the standard liberal line is that people vote Republican because they are cognitively inflexible, fond of hierarchy and inordinately afraid of uncertainty, change and death.” His comment goes on to note that some social scientists believe, “Conservatives suffer from uncertainty avoidance, need for order, structure, closure, and dogmatism, intolerance of ambiguity, all of which lead to resistance to change and endorsement of inequality.” Shermer points out that about 80 percent of academic social scientists are liberal with
of Ecology like crown jewels. There is a long history of droughts plaguing civilizations, and there is no crystal ball available to say when the rain will return. Forecasting rain and other weather things is one tricky business. At least forecasters today don’t face boiling canola oil with rosemary seasoning if they get it wrong like in some earlier hair-ball administrations. For anyone looking for excellent and reliable writing about the weather go the Reporter’s website, www.covingtonreporter.com, and under the blogs tab you will find Cliff Mass’ blog. He is a University of Washington professor of atmospheric sciences. Anytime I really want to know weather magic for a story, I call Cliff. He currently has a good piece on El Niño and what the winter may look like for the Pacific Northwest and California, which is drowning in drought dust. Mass also links to
Amar Andalkar’s discussion of snowpack during an El Niño. Despite the dry spell we are in, once it rains for five consecutive days, most of us won’t be able to remember the last time we saw the sun or recall there was ever a drought. There is only one thing I truly like about warm weather. It makes my stupid lawn stop growing. I never water it or put anything on it to make it green or happy, and still it grows like psycho grass. Every morning I walk out and glare at it, daring it to grow. I come home at night and it looks like someone has poured Mr. Green Jeans on it. I am pretty sure that just about the time my lawn finally get thirsty enough to stop growing for a few days, the humorist in the sky will send in the clouds – don’t we love farce. That darn water.
only about 15 percent of academics classifying themselves as conservative. Having worked in both a high school and now college for 40 years, I would agree with Shermer that most academics are liberal. These two characterizations point out that we humans are good at seeing the faults in others without being able to see the faults in ourselves. Both characterizations noted above have elements of truth. Psychology and theology teach us that what we see in others we are also guilty of ourselves. In other words, the reason we can’t stand some people is because they reflect our own attitudes back to us. I learned that lesson in my 20s when I discovered that what I hated in others, I eventually found out I was guilty of myself. From that time on, I listened to my accusatory feelings to understand what I was avoiding about myself. According to Shermer, a National Opinion Research Center survey found 44 percent of people who categorized themselves as “conservative” or “very conservative” rated themselves as “very happy,” compared with only 25 percent of people who labeled themselves as “liberal” or “very liberal.” According to a 2007 Gallup Poll, 58 percent of Republicans rated themselves as “mentally healthy,” compared with only 35 percent of
Democrats. Conservatives are also more generous, giving 30 percent more money (“even when controlled for income”), donate more blood and volunteer more hours to charity. In contrast, the working poor give a higher percentage of their income to charity than any other income group. Those on welfare with comparable income give three times less to charity. According to Shermer’s response, the difference seems to be that conservatives believe they should give to private charities (through religion), “Whereas liberals believe charity should be public (through government).” My own personal experience is that nearly all of the criticisms I receive in letters to the editor about my columns come from conservatives who fly off the handle about one part of what I wrote, while missing the balancing statement on the other side. In my exposure to liberals I have found overall that while they consider themselves tolerant of differences and groups, that only applies to issues where they agree. In areas that liberals hold dear, there is no tolerance for disagreements. It’s best to be able to see the strengths and weaknesses of each perspective and choose the position between liberals and conservatives that benefits our city, county, state and nation the most.

Man charged with murder of Enumclaw woman BY DENNIS BOX Editor
Jonathan Daniel Harris, 29, was charged with the murder of 28-year-old Enumclaw resident Nicole Elizabeth White. The Pierce County Prosecutor filed second degree murder charges against Harris June 23. His bail was set at $2 million during an arraignment hearing June 24. Harris’ trial is scheduled to begin August 17. White was last seen about 10 p.m. June 6 outside Jeepers Country Bar and Grill on Pacific Avenue South in Spanaway. Her mother reported her missing to the Orting Police June 7. On the afternoon of June 8 a passerby spotted White’s red Dodge Neon down an embankment wedged between several trees in the area of 70th Avenue East and 260th Street East in Graham.
After a more than two weeks of searching, White’s body was found wrapped in canvas and then wrapped in a green tarp June 20. Detective Ed Troyer, spokesman for the sheriff ’s department, said White’s body was found near the Timberland Forest Camp 1 Road East. “She was found by search dogs,” Troyer wrote. “(The) investigation led us to the area that was searched.” According to probable cause document detectives believe White picked Harris up at his home and the two drove to Jeepers. Harris told detectives he met White at the bar, but detectives received different information from a neighbor. Investigators wrote in the probable cause document, “While searching the defendant’s residence detectives contacted his neighbor. The neighbor
reported that a woman matching White’s description arrived at her residence on June 6, 2015, at approximately 10 p.m. and asked for the defendant. The same neighbor told detective that she heard a female screaming at the defendant’s residence at 4 a.m. on June 7, 2015. The screaming stopped abruptly.” According to investigators Harris said, “He met White at the bar and that she gave him a ride home. Before they reached the defendant’s residence he asked White to stop at a convenience store so he could use the restroom. Harris said that he went into the store to use the restroom, and when he came out White was gone. Harris reported that he used a pay phone to call White, but that she did not answer. He told detectives that he then walked home and had not seen White since.” Detectives checked video footage of Harris and White at Jeepers and noted he was wearing a dark
City urges residents to use caution on Fourth of July The following is a release from Kent Fire Department RFA and the city of Covington. It’s no secret that June has been one of the driest and hottest months on record and with temperatures expected to be in the 90’s for the next several days and no rain in sight, fire danger is high for the Fourth of July. As wildfires and brush fires burn across the state, many residents are urging cities and counties to impose an emergency
ban on fireworks out of concern and fear about what effect they could have in these extremely dry conditions. However, cities that do allow fireworks, Covington being one of those, aren’t able to enact any sort of temporary or emergency ban on fireworks due to the way state law is set. “We encourage residents to impose a self-ban on fireworks this year due to the extreme weather conditions,” said Covington City Manager Regan Bolli. “But, we do understand the tradition of celebrating the Fourth of July with fireworks and recom-

hooded sweatshirt. A search warrant was served on Harris residence and investigators found the sweatshirt. A DNA analysis revealed White’s blood was on the sweatshirt. Investigators found other areas of blood which are being analyzed. Investigators also contacted the convenience store staff. The attendant told detectives he had not seen Harris June 6 or 7. He also said, “customers are not allowed to use the restroom at the time that Harris said he was there.” Investigators reviewed video from the store and did not find Harris. The store has no pay phone. Harris car was equipped with an ignition interlock device that took a photo when he blew into it. Detectives retrieved the interlock image of Harris on June 7, which showed he was in a wooded area. Investigators used his cell phone to locate White’s body.
mend any residents who choose to light them to be over-cautious and follow the laws.” According to Covington Police Chief Kevin Klason, there will be additional officers added to the normal staffing levels on July 3 and July 4 from the hours of 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. “We strongly urge residents to use extra care and caution when discharging their legal fireworks,” says Klason. “Patrols will especially be on the lookout for illegal fireworks use and those caught will face fines and confiscation.” For residents who do choose to celebrate with fireworks, the Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority offers these tips to help keep safe: Go see one of the area’s many free firework displays, including the Fourth of July Splash at Lake Meridian and the fireworks at Angle Lake in SeaTac. Both shows begin
at 10 p.m. Only purchase and discharge legal fireworks. Keep in mind that many of the fireworks you buy on Indian reservations are not legal in Covington, Kent and other cities. Always have a garden hose, bucket of water, or fire extinguisher nearby while discharging fireworks. Always discharge fireworks under adult supervision. Remember that fireworks and alcohol consumption do not safely mix. When lighting fireworks, wear eye protection and only discharge one firework at a time. Place discharged fireworks in a bucket of water. Do not discharge fireworks where ground conditions are dry and the danger of fire is higher.

With warm weather, plants want a big drink of water of beans, beans, broccoli, spinach and beets this fall if you plant seeds now. All I am saying is don’t give peas a chance. Peas are a cool-season crop and will not do well when planted this late in the season. Your pea seeds may sprout but the warm nights mean they will suffer from blights and other fungus among us. Tomato plants will do great if you find them growing in containers and transplant them either into your soil or a larger pot, picking the hottest spot on your property. Up against a southor west-facing wall and protected from the rain is best for tomato growing in Western Washington. Bush beans will give a quicker harvest than pole beans and you won’t need to provide tall supports but the taller bean varieties provide more beans to harvest in less space. Pole beans keep producing as long as you keep the new beans picked. Starts of squash, pepper
and eggplants will also do well when planted into the garden this month. I want to add summer color – I see dahlias for sale at the garden center but they are shorter than the dahlias I remember my mother growing. In her garden the dahlias would return year after year and get 6 feet tall. I would prefer these dwarf dahlias but want plants that will return each summer. R.P., Tacoma. The darling dwarf dahlias you see now at the nurseries will bloom all summer and into the fall on compact plants but most of the short dahlias are annuals, which mean they only flower one year and must be replaced annually. The tall dahlias that grow from a bulb-like root are called tuberous dahlias and this is the type that may overwinter in well-drained soil or you can dig and store the roots in the fall and replant each spring. A new type of dahlia is now available that is a compact tuberous dahlias that does not need staking but will
overwinter like their taller cousins. All dahlias will continue to bloom if you keep picking the flowers, so select blooming plants now and you’ll still have months of color to enjoy. Dahlias need at least a half-day of sun and loosen the soil all around the root zone, adding some slowrelease plant food and compost into the planting area. Now the good news – compared with most summer-blooming plants, dahlias do well with less water and less fertilizer making them a great choice for busy gardeners. Just keep picking those blooms. My lawn is turning brown. How much water and how much fertilizer does my lawn need to stay green? I am considering putting in a sprinkler system. T., Olympia. This is a hard question with no easy answer. It is natural for grasses to go brown or dormant in the summer and how much to water depends on your soil, sun and type of lawn seed you have planted. The general
rule of green thumb is one inch of water per week. Instead of a sprinkler system it is more practical in our region to set an oscillating sprinkler onto your lawn and run it once or twice a week until an empty tuna can or rain gauge shows the sprinkler has delivered one inch of water. The corners that your sprinkler cannot reach can be replaced with drought resistant groundcovers, gravel or shrubs. Aerating the lawn in the spring, adding organic matter and reseeding with a new drought resistant grass seed next spring or this fall are all ways to keep your lawn green without wasting water. When it comes to fertilizer, the typical lawn needs one-half to one pound of actual nitrogen for every 1,000 square feet. The best time to fertilize lawns in Western Washington is in the spring or fall. One more tip – just say no to the low mow. Lawns allowed to grow three inches tall and then cut down to two inches will stay green longer

and shade out many sun-seeking weeds. Use a mulching mower and leave the clippings on the lawn to return nitrogen to the soil. Sprinkler systems that come on every day will keep a lawn green but they are a huge waste of water as frequent watering keeps the grass roots near the surface of the soil. Watering a lawn too often will also encourage fungal infections.

July is the month to put your mettle to the petal and commit to caring for your blooming baskets and container gardens. You must water more often when the weather warms up and roots fill the soil and demand more to eat and drink. Water until you see drainage seeping from the hole at the bottom of the pot. Fertilize at least once every two weeks to keep petunia and fuchsia baskets in full bloom. July also is a good time to pinch back petunias by about one-third for bushier plants. Use your pruning crumbs as cut flowers as petunias can be surprisingly fragrant and long-lasting in a vase. Is it too late to plant vegetables?

Kent Little League ex-treasurer receives prison sentence for stealing $200,000 about it and at the same time gives him the opportunity to reintegrate into the community sooner than the 29 months so he can resume employment and work to paying the restitution that he’s already agreed to pay,” McCullough said. Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Amanda Froh recommended the court sentence Baker to 29 months. “This is an extremely unfortunate case all around,” she said. “I have no doubt that Mr. Baker was under an extraordinary amount of stress when he decided to make the decisions that he did that led us to the courtroom today. “There are certainly a lot of people in this world who have stressful financial situations in their lives and they don’t resort to act after act after act of theft from a nonprofit, from a Little League, over the course of a year completely abusing the trust those people in the organization put into him.” Baker made 271 transactions, from cashing cashier checks to withdrawing cash
from bank machines out of the league’s bank accounts. He cashed two checks for more than $20,000 each. Ronald Dale, a former Kent Little League board member for 14 years, spoke in court to support the maximum sentence. “I was so shocked and disturbed when I heard

A former Kent Little League treasurer on Friday received a 22-month prison sentence for stealing more than $200,000 during an 18-month period from the youth baseball and softball organization. King County corrections officers handcuffed Kevin L. Baker, 50, of Maple Valley, after King County Superior Court Judge LeRoy McCullough issued the sentence at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. McCullough also ordered Baker to repay the league $208,743. “I just want to say I’m so deeply sorry for letting Kent Little League members down as treasurer,” Baker said to the court prior to his sentencing. “All of the years as treasurer I tried to be the best treasurer I was. Like my attorney said, I just got out of hand. I bought a business I probably shouldn’t have. I lost everything, and my dignity and the trust of people. I’m just ready for whatever you give me.”
Baker pleaded guilty in May to six counts of first-degree theft (value of more than $5,000) and two counts of second-degree theft (value of more than $750) in connection with taking money from the group’s bank accounts during a 16-month period in 2012-13. He used some of the funds in an attempt to keep his newly acquired Benchwarmer Sports Bar and Grill in Kent afloat, according to charging papers. The bar along Russell Road has since closed. McCullough said because Baker does not have a criminal history, accepted responsibility for the crime, didn’t force the state to a trial and he poses no threat to community safety, he decided to issue a low-end sentence. But he declined to go below the minimum because of “a huge amount of money taken from a youth organization.” “I think the low end of the standard range is enough to drive home the point that the theft was inappropriate and gives Mr. Baker enough time to think
below the minimum. He tried to get the judge to apply a first-time offender rule that has a maximum sentence of 90 days in jail. “Mr. Baker made a very terrible choice,” Williams said. “He got laid off from a job, decided to go into business and had no business experience whatsoever. He probably got taken by the seller of the business, he lost his shirt and started paying for the business with his own funds and

what happened and then who had done it because he was a neighbor of mine,” Dale said. “I’m glad that it did not go to trial and he pleaded guilty. I think what the prosecutor has outlined seems to be fair.” Two female friends of Baker showed up in court to support him but did not speak to the judge. One woman blew Baker a kiss as she left the courtroom before guards handcuffed him. Williams, the attorney for Baker, argued for a sentence

Buffalo Tofu Steaks (feeds 6) 3 blocks extra firm tofu 3/4 cup sriracha hot sauce 3 tablespoons agave nectar 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
Instructions Clayton’s Grilled Buffalo Chicken serves six
3 pounds of chicken breast Franks red hot sauce Salt, pepper, paprika Chopped Parsley
White Lemon Sauce 2 lemons (cut in half) 3 dollops of mayonnaise 2 dollops of sour cream 1 tablespoon sherry cooking wine 1 teaspoon of dijon mustard black pepper 1 tablespoon of olive oil
Grilled Potatoes 3 large potatoes olive oil, salt, pepper, cumin
Instructions Cut chicken breast into even sized fillets and season with salt, pepper and paprika. Toss in a marinating bag with a teaspoon of olive oil and refrigerate.
Potatoes Bake 4 large potatoes for 30 minutes at 375 degrees. After baking, let the potatoes cool. Cut them into quarters and brush with olive oil, salt, pepper, and cumin to taste.
Sauce Toss mayonnaise in with the sour cream and Dijon mustard. Add sherry cooking wine, a drizzle of olive oil and pepper. Heat your grill to a medium high heat and add chicken, cooking each side for a few minutes. Alongside the chicken, cook your potatoes and lemons until grill marks appear. Squeeze the juice from your grilled lemons into the white sauce and whip together.
Drizzle the buffalo sauce over your chicken breast along with your white sauce. Also pour white sauce over your potatoes and garnish both dishes with parley for color and freshness.
Wine pairing Try a late harvest riesling with this meal, as it is light and sweet enough to extinguish some of the heat from the buffalo sauce, while complimenting the citrus flavor of the white sauce.
Wrap tofu blocks individually in paper towels and microwave for 2 minutes. Put them in between two clean plates and add weight to the top (cans of beans work well). Press for at least an hour. Drain as much water from the tofu as possible after pressing. Cut each block into four strips, about 1-inch thick. In a bowl, mix together hot sauce, agave, and liquid smoke. Add to a large skillet on high heat. Once at a strong simmer, add tofu strips, ensuring each one lays flat. Simmer for 15 minutes, flipping them half way through. Turn off the heat and let them stand for another 15 minutes. Put them on the barbecue using a slightly oiled slotted grill pan, searing both sides until grill marks appear. Serve with grilled vegetables like broccoli and mushrooms.

A Personal Call to Action
I
n 1980, an African American woman sat on an old dilapidated couch, shaking, as tears flooded her eyes. Legs covered with bruises, terrified, she held her infant daughter, trying to comfort her. Nearby, her four year old was curled in a fetal position, moaning softly. The floor was littered with a broken lamp, patches of hair, torn clothing, and crushed cereal. All grim reminders of her husband’s violence a few minutes ago. He was a 7 ft. 2� tall minister. She remembered him putting his face close, his fists tight, as he knocked her to the ground. Her belly tightened with pain, fear, and dread for what he would do next. He yelled, “You little whore! Don’t you know I’m head of the house, and you have to do what I tell you! If you ever try to leave me again, I’ll kill us all!� Sometime later, she heard the sound of the front door slamming. Temporarily alone, she called a 24-hour Domestic Violence Hotline, and found connections to a network of advocates who provided the tools and resources she needed to become a survivor. Three very strong and brave African American senior women of faith were also always there to encourage and support her. The great combination of helpers was a key ingredient in rediscovering her own voice, and learning that she deserved to be treated right. I was that woman, and you too can make a difference in your own life, as well as others. We all have a responsibility to take action to end violence, so that no one has to suffer the pain of abuse ever again. If you or someone you know needs help, find the domestic violence program in your community by visiting wscadv.org or calling the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or 1-800-787-3224 (TTY). You can also make a difference by raising money and awareness for domestic violence prevention by registering for the Goodwill Refuse To AbuseŽ 5K at Safeco Field at refusetoabuse5k.org.

should also be aware that, although fireworks went on sale June 28, they can only be discharged on July 4 between the hours of 9 a.m. and midnight. Additionally, discharging fireworks on Covington city property (including parks) as well
as on Kent School District properties is prohibited. If residents see or hear illegal fireworks being discharged, they should call 911. High call volumes on the Fourth of July may delay non-life and property safety responses as life safety issues are the highest priority. Illegal or unwanted fireworks can be dropped off at any Kent Fire Department RFA fire station without penalty or fine.
Be a good neighbor and clean up any debris from fireworks. Also safely store any matches and lighters so children do not have access to them. Covington residents

He learned in December 2013 that funds appeared to be missing from league bank accounts. He reported the alleged theft to the Kent Police that same month. The bank records showed Baker used league funds for personal expenses, including restaurant and bar tabs. Records also showed checks written to Baker and his business from the league accounts, including two cashier checks for as much as $20,000 each to his business account. Cash withdrawals from the league account by Baker coincided with cash deposits into his business account. During Baker’s statement to the court, the judge asked him several questions, including whether he had a college degree. Baker replied that he did have a degree, in management information systems. McCullough also asked Baker how as treasurer he could cash checks with just one signature. “It’s not that difficult,� Baker said. “I know the bylaws of the Kent Little League that transfers are supposed to have double signatures but they just don’t look at that. As far as the ATM, anyone can make withdrawals if you knew the pin.� Baker has only $1,600 to his name, his attorney said. Baker has worked the last four months as a driver for Uber, a private car transportation service, and made about $1,000 a month. Baker’s Maple Valley home is up for sale as a short sale and Baker isn’t expected to make any money from the sale. The state Department of Revenue put a $18,000 lien on the sale, money the state refunded to the Kent Little League for unpaid taxes it owed during the time Baker stole funds from the organization.

Conks standout excited to play with Globetrotters BY HEIDI SANDERS

For former Kentwood High School girl’s basketball star Kylie Huerta, playing for the world-famous Harlem Globetrotters was beyond her wildest dreams. But, after being selected by the organization on June 23, the 22-year-old Covington native has the opportunity to be a part of the elite team. “It was all kind of out of the blue and unexpected,� she said. “It wasn’t really a dream or anything.� Huerta said her aunt, Anne Bean, got her interested in the Globetrotters. “She (Huerta’s aunt) said, ‘I think when you are done playing college, the Globetrotters would be awesome for you,’� said Huerta, who helped Kentwood win the Class 4A state title in 2009. Huerta was surprised when the Globetrotters reached out to her a couple of months ago after she and her aunt contacted them. Huerta and her parents will head to New Jersey the end of July to meet with the

The Globetrotters feature a couple of female players on their touring teams. “There is a little tryout - just normal basketball shooting, dribbling,� the 5-foot-1 point guard said. “I don’t have to know how to do all their cool tricks. If I decide to take their offer, they will teach me all that.� After graduating from Kentwood in 2011, Huerta played three seasons at Eastern Washington University in Cheney, before transferring to Hawaii Pacific University in Honolulu to finish her collegiate career. She was named to the All-PacWest Conference first team and led the Sharks to a 25-5 record and the school’s secondever berth in the NCAA Division II tournament. She averaged 15 points, seven assists, five rebounds and 1.4 steals per game her senior season. She shot 42 percent on 3-pointers and 86 percent on free throws. Huerta was studying elementary education and planned to return to Hawaii
Pacific in the fall to complete her degree. “That was the plan pretty much until that (being selected by Globetrotters) all came about,� she said. Huerta said her plans won’t be final until after she meets with the Globetrotters, but the opportunity to play with the team seems too good to pass up. “At this point, I have only good thoughts and feelings about taking the position they are offering me,� she said. “If I had to choose at this point in time, this is a once-inlifetime opportunity that hardly no one gets.� The Kentwood graduate would love the chance to play basketball as a career. “I am not ready to be done,� she said. “This could be next step up to playing basketball.� Huerta is most excited about the opportunity to travel with the team and perform for audiences around the world. “The Globetrotters are looked up to,� she said.

She is the daughter of Travis and Mary Huerta and the oldest of six children. “They are so supportive,� Huerta said of her family. “It means the world to me to have all the support. They are just as happy as I am. That really says a lot.� Even if Huerta accepts
an offer with the Globetrotters, she hopes to someday be able to pursue her dream of being an elementary school teacher. “Having so many brothers and sisters, I love having kids around,� she said. “That is still a huge goal and dream of mine. I have always wanted to do that since I was very, very young.�
