Kent Reporter, October 23, 2015

Th e Kent Area Council PTA clothing bank, which serves hundreds of families each year, may be clos-ing in December unless volunteers step up to keep it open.

Jan Bigbee-Hansen and Brooke Valentine, who have co-chaired the clothing bank for four and fi ve years respectively, have been searching for leaders

to coordinate the eff ort for the past year, but so far haven’t found anyone willing to take over.

If no one takes over the project, the cloth-ing bank, which is typi-cally open two Tuesday evenings a month in the former locker room at Kent Phoenix Academy, will be open for the last time on Dec. 15.

“We will help advise,

Th e Kent City Council unanimously approved a resolu-tion on Tuesday night to support a King County property tax levy on the Nov. 3 bal-lot called Best Starts for Kids.

Th e pur-pose of the levy, known as Proposition No. 1, is to raise $65 mil-lion per year for six years to improve the physical, so-cial and envi-ronmental factors that infl uence children from birth (including services for pregnant mothers) up to the age of 24. Th e cost of the levy is 14 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation or about $42 per year for the owner of a $300,000 house, according to county reports.

“Th e research that we have seen shows

that if we can reach children early in their lives we will be able to avoid much public cost further on in their lives,” City Councilman Dennis Higgins said. “Th ey do show up today in the schools of our city not prepared to learn. Oft en this leads to

bad outcomes that cost many times what we are proposing to spend here.”

Fift y percent of the revenue would go toward early childhood

development pro-grams for children up to age 5. About 35 percent would go toward programs that assist kids and adults ages 6 through 24, 10 percent would go to community programs aimed at improving health, social and economic outcomes, and 5 percent would be used for

Bag Busters? Group looks to sack plastic

Clothing bank needs volunteers to keep doors open

Four candidates for the Kent City Council strongly favor some type of city ban against fi reworks.

A question about their position on a fi reworks ban turned out to be one of the hottest topics at a candidates forum among fi ve contestants on Oct. 16 at Kent Commons hosted by the Kiwanis Club

A group of Kent residents has started a drive to adopt a city ordinance to ban single-use plastic bags.

Bag Busters – People for a Plastic Free Kent began to gather signatures for a

petition last week at the Kent Regional Library.

Th e group wants a ban similar to the one the Seattle City Council adopted in 2011 because the bags are bad for the environment.

“It’s all about educating people,” said Abbe Gloor, who dressed up in an outfi t

made of plastic bags to draw attention to the issue outside of the library. “We plan to do this every month here.”

Gloor refers to her outfi t as the “Bag Monster.”

why plastic bags are bad for the city and the envi-ronment.

Gloor said 11 cities in Washington have banned plastic bags.

“Plastic pollution is a global problem, and we can make a diff erence right here in Kent,” she said. “We

need to protect our rivers and streams, keep our storm drains clear and protect our neighbors, the Puget Sound and Pacifi c Ocean.”

Gloor, who has lived in Kent for 15 years, said she oft en sees plastic bags while riding her bicycle.

“Let’s face it, Kent has gotten pretty trashy,” Gloor said. “Recently, I did a 17-mile bike ride around Kent and in that short distance I counted 39 plastic bags stuck in fences, bushes and fl uttering along the Green River.”

Gloor was unsure when her group might fi le an of-fi cial petition with the city in an eff ort to get the issue to a vote of the people. She just wants to create awareness now and see if residents favor a ban.

Th e group has reached

out through email to the Kent City Council but hasn’t received much response. It would like to see a council member take on the issue to ban plastic bags similar to what Seattle City Council-man Mike O’Brien spon-sored a few years back.

Gloor has emailed O’Brien for details about how he got the rest of the council to adopt the ban but has not yet heard back from him.

Th e group has copies of

the “Bag It” documentary available to show to people interested in banning plastic bags.

Th e 2010 movie exposes the eff ects of plastic bags and other plastic consumer merchandise, on land ecosystems, the marine environment and the hu-man body.

For more information, go to bagbusters.org and the Bag Busters of Kent Facebook page.

“evaluation, data collection and program improve-ment,” according to a media release from King County Executive Dow Constan-tine.

“Th ere is not enough we can do for our kids,” City Councilman Bill Boyce said. “Th e sooner we can reach out and be able to help kids in need … the better we are going to be. I wholeheartedly support this.”

Mike Heinisch, executive director of the Kent Youth and Family Services, was one of two people who spoke in support of the levy at the council meeting. Nobody spoke against the proposition.

“Th is is an once-in-a-gen-eration opportunity for the voters of King County and an once in a lifetime for the kids in King County,” Heinisch said. “Th is is $65 million for children. It’s a tremendous opportunity. And much of it is going to come to South King County.”

King County Council-man Reagan Dunn, whose district includes parts of Kent, was the only County

Council member who op-posed sending the measure to voters. Dunn isn’t against what the levy funds, but has concerns about the impact of another property tax levy on other taxing districts, including hospital and fi re districts. Valley Medical Center in Renton is funded through a hospital district.

Th e Legislature has put a cap of $5.90 per $1,000 of assessed valuation that can be collected by all taxing districts in a county. Coun-ties, cities and road districts are known as senior dis-tricts and get fi rst priority in levying the $5.90. So if that rate is reached, junior districts such as hospitals, would be the fi rst to have levies reduced.

Critics of the kids’ levy state in the county voters’ pamphlet that the measure includes no specifi c details about how the money will be spent. Th e statement also points out the county street maintenance budget has a shortfall of more than $100 million and money should be spent on fi xing streets before raising money for another service.

Hearing to determine School Board candidate’s residencyBY HEIDI SANDERS

[email protected]

King County Elections will determine on Wednesday, Oct. 28, if Kent School Board candidate Trisha Sanders lives at the address she used to fi le for the seat.

Th e hearing is set for 9:30 a.m. at King County Department of Elections, 919 SW Grady Way, in Renton, and is open to the public.

School board member Russ Hanscom, who Sanders fi led against for the Nov. 3 election, submitted a voter registration challenge against Sanders alleging she doesn’t live at the Kent address where she claims to reside.

Sanders said in an email last week she decided in July not to actively seek the school board seat because her “personal life has become too hectic.” Her name ap-

pears on the Nov. 3 ballot.A letter from King County Elec-

tions director, Sherril Huff , dated Oct. 13, was sent to the address where Sanders is registered to vote.

According to the letter, Sanders’ attendance at the hearing is volun-tary and she can submit an affi davit if she is unable to attend.

If the challenge is upheld, Sanders’ voter registration will be cancelled. Since the challenge was

received on Oct. 2, less than 45 days before the election, a decision will not aff ect the Nov. 3 election.

In the challenge, Hansom said he made multiple attempts to contact Sanders at the address, including sending a certifi ed letter and visit-ing the residence, to no avail. He said her Facebook account says she lives in Federal Way.

Sanders maintains she lives in the district.

Fire damages East Hill homeA small bedroom fi re caused about $25,000 in damages

to a Kent home at about 1:15 p.m. on Oct. 16 in the 12900 block of Southeast 257th Street on the East Hill.

A neighbor called 911 to report smoke from an upstairs window and that nobody was home, according to a Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority media release.

Firefi ghters arrived within fi ve minutes and reported smoke but no fl ames visible from the upstairs window. Fire crews forced entry into the home and quickly extinguished the fi re. Crews searched for hidden fi re but found none.

A fi re investigator determined the cause to be an unat-tended fl ame which ignited nearby combustibles and ruled the cause as accidental. Smoke and heat damage was limited to the one bedroom. Th e fi re didn’t displace the family.

but we aren’t going to run it any-more,” Bigbee-Hansen said.

Coordinating the clothing bank requires about a 20-hour com-mitment each month and can be shared by two people, Bigbee-Hansen said.

“It is a fairly labor intensive position,” she said. “Two people sharing it would be a great idea.”

Responsibilities of the chair or co-chairs include setup and cleanup on the clothing bank’s open evenings twice a month;

reporting to the Kent Area Coun-cil board and general meetings monthly; responding to emails about the clothing bank; coordi-nating volunteers; and managing the donation bins when school is not in session.

“We need somebody with the energy and vision to keep it go-ing and take it to the next level,” Bigbee-Hansen said.

The clothing bank provides gently used clothes free of charge, as well as new underwear and socks, to children in the Kent School District and their younger

siblings who are referred through their school or a community agency. The clothing bank has been helping families for more than 20 years.

“Given the level of need within the Kent community, it has been a very well used support service,” Bigbee-Hansen said.

In the 2008-2009 school year, the clothing bank served 680 chil-dren from 202 families. Last year, 1,263 children from 680 families were served.

Bigbee-Hansen hopes new leaders will help keep the clothing

bank open.“I don’t know where those

families are going to go,” she said.Kathleen Whalen, who made

her first visit to the clothing bank on Tuesday evening, appreciated what the clothing bank provided.

“It’s awesome,” Whalen said. “It’s the first time I have ever been to one. We got some decent coats for winter.”

Although it takes a lot of work, Bigbee-Hansen said helping the community is rewarding.

“The families are so grateful,” she said. “It is nice to help families

find things they need for their kids.”

Valentine said the clothing bank is all about helping families in the school district.

“I just think about the sacrifices parents and families make for their children,” she said.

The clothing bank will be open from 6-8 p.m. on Nov. 3 and 17 and Dec. 1 and 15 at Kent Phoe-nix Academy, 11000 SE 264th St. Check in begins at 5:15 p.m.

For more information about the clothing bank, visit kacpta.org or email [email protected].

of Kent.“I have heard from resi-

dents and they say you can’t tell the difference between safe and sane fireworks from the illegal ones my neigh-bors get at Muckleshoot, so the easiest way for police to figure it out is to make them all illegal,” said Tina Budell, who is running to replace

Deborah Ranniger.Budell said she favors a

permit process so a neigh-borhood that wants to put on a licensed show could pay a fee and show it has insurance to cover any fire that might be caused by the fireworks.

Kent voters can tell the council through an advisory vote on the Nov. 3 ballot whether they want fireworks banned or

not. Proposition 1 is only an advisory vote to the council. The council will use the results of the vote to help determine whether to ban the use and sale of fireworks in the city. Any new ordinance passed by the council would not apply to the city’s Fourth of July Splash fireworks display at Lake Meridian or any other permitted display.

Numerous complaints from residents to the coun-cil over the last few years about fireworks going off in their neighborhoods before, during and after the Fourth of July caused the council to consider a ban and seek voters’ opinions.

Kent city code allows people to purchase and pos-sess legal fireworks from June 28 to July 4, but fireworks can only be discharged from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. on July 4. Violators of the code must pay a $250 fine.

Budell said her North Park neighborhood turns into “World War III” around the Fourth of July because people set off illegal fireworks.

“I know it sucks for groups doing their fund-raising (through fireworks sales) but there’s too many fires and accidents,” Budell said.

Hira Singh Bhullar, who is running against Budell, agreed that the law needs to change.

“I think most people want a ban,” Bhullar said. “Anything people shoot in the air, ban it. Small spar-klers for kids that’s fine.”

Bhullar said he has a young nephew who was afraid to come out of his room during the Fourth of

July because the numerous fireworks scared him.

“It’s fun for one person but maybe a big problem for others,” he said.

Toni Troutner, who is running to unseat Brenda Fincher, said she wants to see the outcome of the advi-sory vote before deciding what to do.

“As a council member, I would look carefully how the vote turns out and will consider all of the informa-tion about whether or not the city will ban fireworks,” Troutner said.

She added it’s not an easy decision.

“Honestly, I see both sides of it,” Troutner said. “As my boys were growing up we did fireworks with neighbors. But I hear con-cerns from residents about loud noises, people buying illegal fireworks and people with animals. I also hear from residents who like to go out and do fireworks with their neighbors.”

Fincher wants to see fireworks outlawed except for the city’s display at Lake Meridian Park and others who get permits.

“I support the ban,” Fincher said. “What I really want is if it goes up and blows up, it’s illegal. I witnessed two fires in trees

on the past Fourth.”Fincher said some people

fail to clean up fireworks debris, another reason she supports a ban.

“It’s an advisory vote and the council will decide what to do, so I hope everyone speaks up so we can find out what the people of Kent truly want,” she said. “My vote is for a ban. I can go up to Lake Meridian or other licensed places (to watch fireworks).”

Gwen Allen, who is run-ning as a write-in candidate against Les Thomas, said she served on the city’s commit-tee that wrote a statement in the Voters’ Pamphlet in favor of a fireworks ban.

Allen then read that statement, including how fireworks can startle animals, frighten children and seniors and can trigger panic in people suffering with PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder). She added that individuals who at-tempt to intervene with someone setting off fire-works often results in anger and long-term disharmony with neighbors.

“Can’t we simply celebrate all the Fourth means to us by enjoying the permitted, professional public fireworks displays?” she said.

Americans are living longer. Home val-ues are up. And for many senior citi-zens, their home is their single biggest asset, oft en accounting for more than 50% of their net worth.With the cost of basic necessities such as food on the rise, it’s no wonder why more and more seniors are using HECM reverse mortgages to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement. However, there are still millions of homeowners who could benefi t from this FHA-insured loan but may simply not be aware of this “retirement secret,” notes Former U.S. Senator Fred Th ompson.“You know, some people have told me that reverse mortgages sound too good to be true. You get cash out of your home, no monthly payments, and you still own your home,” says Senator Th ompson. NO MONTHLY MORTGAGE PAYMENTS?* EXTRA CASH? It’s true, no monthly mortgage payments are required with a reverse mortgage; the homeowners only have to pay for maintenance, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees.In fact, reverse mortgages took hold when president Ronald Reagan signed the FHA mortgage bill into law over 25 years ago to help senior citizens remain

in their homes. “Th ey’re simply an eff ective way for folks 62 and older to get the cash they need to enjoy their retirement,” notes Th ompson. Although today’s HECM reverse mortgages have been greatly improved to provide greater

protection for homeowners, there are still a lot of misconceptions. For example, many people mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a reverse mortgage, which is not the case. One key benefi t of a reverse mortgage is that it automatically pays off your existing mortgage, which frees up cash fl ow, a huge blessing for those on a fi xed income. Unfortunately, many homeowners who could benefi t from a reverse mortgage don’t even bother to get more

information due to rumors they’ve heard. Th at’s a shame because reverse mortgages are helping many seniors live a better life. A recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s number one reverse mortgage lender, found that 97% of their clients were satisfi ed with their reverse mortgages. If you’re a homeowner age 62 or older, you owe it to yourself to learn more. You may be pleasantly surprised by what you discover.

JACQUELINE JOHNSON, a student in the Master’s in Com-munication: Native Voices program at the University of Washing-ton, received the Honorable Claudia Kauff man Scholarship at a ceremony on campus last Saturday.

The scholarship is in recognition of Kauff man’s achievement in becoming the fi rst Native American woman elected to the state Senate. She served the 47th Legislative District.

Johnson said this scholarship will help her fl ourish as a fi lm-maker and inspire others, especially women. She aspires to document lifestyles through the lens of her community, the Makah Nation, to spread and preserve knowledge. She is re-searching urban Native youth identity in the Pacifi c Northwest, and the various defi nitions of the term “urban Indian.”

The scholarship is intended to encourage other Native Ameri-cans to follow Kauff man’s example of community service.

“This is an honor, and I am hopeful this will inspire Native students to continue to seek higher education at every opportu-nity,“ Kauff man said.

Kauff man, a member of the Nez Perce Tribe of Idaho, has long been dedicated to native youth and education. She serves as chair of the Seattle Indian Services Commission and is vice chair of the Green River College Board of Trustees.

Protect teens: Talk about the ‘5 to Drive’

Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death for our young people in the United States. In 2014 in Washington State, there were 530 serious injury crashes and 147 fatalities among drivers ages 16 to 25.

And 2014 is not an anomaly. Because of these sustained numbers, Washington state has taken steps to implement policy and laws to protect our young people. Th e Intermedi-ate Driver’s License (IDL) program is one

of those steps, and it is aimed at preventing these tragedies.

Parents, if you have young drivers in your home, talk to them about road risks. Don’t assume they won’t listen or think they are hearing about

these life-saving rules at school or in driver’s education. You are the No. 1 infl uence over your young person and the decisions they make. Start talking to them today and talk oft en.

Oct. 18-24 is Teen Driver Safety Week. Across the United States and here in Wash-ington, we’ll educate young people about roadway dangers. Offi cers will be enforcing traffi c laws to reduce speeding and impaired driving. And we hope you, parents, will take the opportunity to talk to your kids about the importance of IDL and the national cam-paign “5 to Drive.”

“5 to Drive” focuses on the factors that contribute to the crashes that seriously injure or kill our young people. Remembering the “5 to Drive” every time your teen drives will

Time to defuse fi reworks in Kent

On the November ballot, Kent residents will have the opportunity to cast their vote on the use of fi reworks in the city.

As with previous years, our fi re department was over-whelmed by the number of calls for help. Th e volume of fi re-related calls on the Fourth of July was three times higher than normal. Emergency re-sponse times, which can mean the diff erence between life and death, were signifi cantly delayed.

Th e Kent Police Department received $12,400 in overtime for increased enforcement. However, it had question-able results. Councilmember Jim Berrios accompanied the police on the Fourth and was taken aback by what he observed. Th e city’s fi rework rules were frequently broken and very diffi cult to enforce. Several large parking lots were littered with illegal fi reworks aft er the Fourth.

Firework bans do work. Th e Renton Fire Chief stated, “Th e fi reworks ban is in place to protect citizens and their property, and it is working. Since 2005, we have seen a signifi cant reduction in the number of painful injuries and costly property losses related to the use of fi reworks.”

Th e Renton Fire Depart-ment reported they had a relatively quiet Fourth but were kept busy assisting Kent

and other cities that did not have a ban.

In addition to public safety, littering and increased costs, fi reworks drive our pets nuts and have been shown to adversely aff ect veterans with PTSD. Kent is an urban city that has no need for fi reworks beyond public events. Please vote yes to ban fi reworks on the November ballot.– Jack Nixon

Kent becoming a welfare city

Joy Etienne’s letter (“Just say no to more taxes”) in the Oct. 9 Kent Reporter hit the nail on the head.

Kent has built itself into a welfare city. More than 50 percent of the residents pay no city, state or county tax as their residents are owned by King County HUD, the Federal

Housing Authority or Section 8 housing.

Yet they probably count for 80 percent of fi re and police calls. Th e majority of the kids get free breakfast and lunch because our government says the parents are too lazy to fi x them a bowl of cereal, a piece of toast and a sandwich; so, we will take care of them.

Th en there is the B&O tax. It was campaigned as a road tax to fi x the deteriorating streets. Now, we fi nd it used to fund other city funds, not to mention the ShoWare Center, which cannot compete with the casinos.

Now you can see what build-ing a welfare city causes. More taxes.

Many of our city fathers and business people do not care. Th ey get their wages, and busi-ness people take in the welfare money and head to the bank.

Th e big losers are homeown-ers on fi xed incomes as they do not get cost-of-living raises.

Th ings to think about.– Gene Bremner

Enough with property tax hikes

My mortgage payment re-cently went up $50 per month, so I called the King County Assessor’s Offi ce to fi nd out what was going on. Th ey told me that my county and local taxes had both gone up. Th is is a $600/year increase that started in August.

instill traffic safety for them, your family, and all of us.

Here are the “5 to Drive”: 1. No drinking and driv-

ing. Compared with other age groups, teen drivers are at greater risk of death in alcohol-related crashes, even though they’re too young to legally buy or pos-sess alcohol.

2. Buckle Up. Every Trip. Every Time. Front Seat and Back. Traffic data show our young people are not buckling up and neither are their passengers.

3. Zero cellphone use or texting. Studies have shown that when driving at 55 mph, sending a basic text message takes the driver’s eyes off the road for the length of an entire football field.

4. No speeding. Crash dynamics come into play here. The faster you go; the worse off everyone is in a crash. Honor the speed limits. They are there for a reason.

5. No extra passengers in the car. Research shows that the risk of a fatal crash goes up in direct relation to the number of teens in a car.

And, the likelihood of risky behavior goes up too.

I have teenage sons. I worry about their safety every time they get into a car. What’s important to remember is that there are laws to keep them, and all of us, safer on our road-ways. Officers enforce these laws because they have been proven to increase our safety.

Also, don’t forget the role you play in setting the example. Parents, set the example by following these “5 to Drive” rules too.

For more information about Teen Driver Safety

Week, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website at safercar.gov/parents.

Washington State has been a leader in traffic safety across our country and continues to update the statewide highway safety plan, Target Zero: “0” seri-ous injuries and fatalities on our roadways by 2030. Help us get there. Talk to your young driver today and practice safe driving habits always.

Now I read that our mayor thinks it would be nice if the City Council would raise property taxes again in 2016 to help with the city’s anemic financial condition.

Council members, especially those who own businesses, told the mayor that a business and occupa-tion (B&O) hike was totally off the table. So there seems to be agreement by our “representatives” that we Kent homeowners are going to continue to be the ATM of choice. Methinks we need some new representa-tives who don’t pander so egregiously to the Chamber of Commerce.

I also don’t understand the whole Regional Fire Authority setup. What was wrong with city-run fire-department services? Is the police department run the same way?

Not every person – or family – who lives in a home with a mortgage payment due every month has the discretionary income to sup-port the city’s never-ending budget woes, especially those the council created.

The City Council and the mayor gave us property owners the financial white elephant known as the ShoWare Center – a vanity arena we didn’t need and couldn’t afford then or now.

And it’s sneaky business when the city tries to play games with the books and think that the auditors don’t know the difference between an asset and a liability.

If not for that vain-glorious foolishness that the council forced onto us, we wouldn’t have so many neglected streets and parks.

Still, council members go on about how great the Sho-Ware is for the city. It’s not good for the city. Maybe it’s good for businesses down-

town. If so, then I think a B&O increase would be an appropriate, on-the-table item to help pay the city’s bills. Kind of like how LIDs are formed by the council to force neighborhood home-owners to pay for the streets in their area.

If the ShoWare benefits business, let business pay for what the public doesn’t volunteer to pay via ticket sales.– Sandra Gill

Know more about OCD

Let’s educate themselves about OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) and its treatment.

In an average elementary school, there are likely five children suffering from the disorder. In a medium to large high school, there are typically 20 students battling it. And in a workplace of 500, there would be about five employees who have

OCD, most likely hiding their symptoms from their colleagues.

OCD is in our commu-nity, and residents of Kent should not feel ashamed or embarrassed.

In most cases, it is a treatable disorder. However, studies show that people suffer unnecessarily for years because of lack of information and a shortage of therapists trained to prop-erly diagnose and treat the disorder.

International OCD Foun-dation’s OCD Awareness Week was Oct. 11-17. The foundation helps people find treatment that will curtail suffering and allow them to lead more productive lives. It also funds research and provides support for suf-ferers and the families and caregivers of patients.

A variety of the founda-tion resources can be found online at www.iocdf.org

We are not alone.

Dare to believe … that together we can beat OCD.

For Mike Bush and the Kentwood foot-ball program, it was familiar territory.

An emotional win for a fi rst-year coach coming home and another divisional title for the Conquerors.

Brian Campbell threw for 206 yards and two touchdowns and ran for two more as Kentwood took down Kent-Meridian 28-7 to secure the South Puget Sound League 4A Northeast Division title at French Field last Friday night.

As a freshman, Tyler Lantz knew little about water polo, but four years later, he is co-captain and a leader of the Kentridge High School team.

“I honestly didn’t know Ken-tridge had a water polo team when I was coming into high school,” Lantz said. “Some of my good friends, I have known since elementary school, we were over at their house for a barbecue and they were like, ‘You should come try water

polo,’ because they played for a while. Th ey were like, ‘You should come try it for a week and see how you like it.’ I went and I played for my trial week. It was a lot of fun and I got really into it, and I decided to stick with it.”

Lantz was drawn to the team aspect of the sport.

“I loved everyone that was on the team, and the brother-hood that came with it,” he said. “I like team sports where you come together as a team and you play together.”

While many water polo players come from a swim-ming background, Lantz is a wrestler. His father, Todd Lantz, is the head wrestling coach at Kentridge.

Lantz said wrestling has given him a competitive edge that he brings to the pool.

“Since I wrestle I’m more ag-gressive than normal players,” he said. “I’ve had to ease it back a little bit this year because I was a little too aggressive last year. I have been trying to fi nd

It was the fourth consecu-tive divisional title – the 13th in program history – for the playoff-bound Conquerors (3-0 in league, 6-1 overall). Kentwood has won six straight games since its season-opening loss to Curtis.

The Royals (2-2, 3-4) remain alive for a playoff spot but will need some help to get in.

“We knew it was going to be a battle,” said an elated Bush, the Conks coach and K-M graduate who went on to play collegiately at Washington State. “This is my alma mater. I was excited to come here and play them. It al-most felt like coming full circle. It’s an amazing feeling to win an SPSL title versus a school that I once attended.”

Connor Benson, a senior wide receiver and defensive back, produced big plays for the Conquerors, catching a TD pass, returning a kickoff 74 yards to set up another score and intercepting a pass in the fourth quarter.

Benson’s big plays on the receiving end of Campbell’s long passes set up Kentwood scoring chances.

“We went out there and got it done,” Benson said. “Brian put the ball in a perfect spot for me.

“I’m just glad it happened tonight in this special moment to be SPSL (Northeast Division) champs. I’m just proud of my team.”

Lightning-quick Isaiah Wil-liams also shone, running for

158 yards and snagging a TD pass. He also pulled in two interceptions for the Conks.

Kentwood shut down the mistake-prone Royals, intercept-ing quarterback Ben Woods four times and containing his big target, Emmanual Daigbe.

“Our defensive staff had a great game plan on how to stop him and slow him down,” Bush said of Daigbe, one of the area’s coveted recruits. “He’s an amaz-ing receiver. I commend him on the plays he did make. It was our focus to slow him down.”

Both teams struggled in the first half. Campbell and Woods each threw two interceptions and each team missed a field

goal.“We got off to a slow start

because Kent-Meridian is a good football team. Coach (Brett) Allen has his school are doing great things,” Bush said. “We just had to refocus. We just calmed down, and we just played one play at a time. By do-ing that, we were successful, and we were able to put some drives together.”

The Conks got on the board first, producing a 12-play, 94-yard drive capped by Campbell’s 5-yard scoring flip to Williams with 10:28 left in the second quarter.

Kentwood went up 14-0 after Benson returned the opening second-half kickoff 74 yards to the Royals’ 11. K-M forced Kentwood into a field goal but roughed the kicker, allowing the Conks’ offense to return to the field with a fresh set of downs from the 2-yard line. Two plays later, Campbell raced around left end to score from the 3 with 9:30 to go in the third quarter.

The Royals drove to the Conks’ 17-yard line but the drive stalled, giving the ball up on downs.

Campbell’s 14-yard TD run with 4:29 left in the third quarter widen Kentwood’s lead to 21-0.

Campbell later found Benson on a swing pass and the wideout took it 62 yards to the end zone with 1:25 left in the third quarter.

Kent-Meridian avoided a shutout when Gabriel Gallman scored on a 13-yard run with

6:39 left in the game.The Royals moved the ball but

were unable to score early and often.

“When we blow those (scor-ing) opportunities it sort of gets into our heads,” Allen said. “Some mental miscues cost us from converting on some of those (chances).

“The second half was all mental miscues,” Allen added. “We just didn’t take advantage of what they were giving up by doubling, bracketing him.

“We’re still in the hunt but we have some work to do.”

Kentwood completes the regular season against Kentlake this Friday. Kickoff is 7 p.m. at French Field.

Thunderbirds grab 4-2 WHL victory over Victoria RoyalsFOR THE REPORTER

The line of Ryan Gropp, Mathew Barzal and Keegan Kolesar combined for three goals and four assists last Saturday night at the ShoWare Center to lead the Seattle Thunderbirds to a 4-2 Western Hockey League victory over the Victoria Royals.

The T-Birds improved to 5-1-1-0 with their fourth consecutive win.

Barzal has two goals and six assists in the last four games. Kolesar has five goals and seven assists in the last seven games. Gropp has two goals and two assists in the last four games.

Seattle goalie Logan Flodell had 21 saves on 22 shots and his record is now 3-0-1-0.

Seattle went in front 1-0 at 6:34 at of the first period on a power-play goal from Barzal. Ethan Bear sent the puck from the left point to Kolesar behind the Victoria net. Kolesar centered the puck to Barzal skating from left to right into the slot. Barzal beat Victoria goalie Coleman Vollrath over the glove for his second goal of the season.

The T-Birds took a 2-0 lead on a greasy goal from Gropp.

The Gropp-Barzal-Kolesar line struck on their very next shift to make it a 3-0 T-Birds lead. Barzal got a loose puck inside the Victoria blue line. Barzal made a drop pass to Kolesar coming into the zone. Kolesar had the Gropp on his left but elected to shoot and beat Voll-rath over the blocker.

The Kentwood High School boys and girls golf teams each won the South Puget Sound League 4A district championship at Gold Mountain Golf Club in Bremerton Oct. 15-16.

For the Kentwood boys, it was the second district championship in a row. The team had 477 strokes this year, ahead of second-place finisher Tahoma, with 505 strokes.

Kentwood’s Nathan Cogswell placed first in the tournament, Mason Koch and Angelo (Victor) Gallevo tied for second, Brayden Seims took seventh place, Spencer Kim 13th and Vincent Ota 16th.

Cogswell was selected as the Player of the Year for the SPSL, based on the district championship and his season match points.

have a second chance to qualify in the spring.

In regular season play, Kentwood varsity boys golf went 10-0 for the sec-ond year in a row, and are undefeated in the last 27 regular season matches.

The team broke the team match points (single match) Kentwood record with 109 points this fall. The record was 102 points.

Cogswell and Gallevo broke the single round points record for a player with 22 points. The previ-ous record was 21.

Mason Koch broke the career all-time points record for a varsity boys golfer at Kentwood with 706. The previous record was 685.

On the girls side, Kent-wood had 589 strokes, in its district victory.

Katelann Soth placed first in the tournament, Jocelyn Dacuag finished fourth and Bryanna Raap 34th.

Soth was selected as the North Girls Golfer of the year for the SPSL, based on the district champion-ship and her season match points.

that happy medium.”Lantz said he is stronger defensively than

on offense.“I think it a lot easier for me trying to get

the ball away from a person than trying to keep the ball away from a person.” he said.

Mike McKee, one of Kentridge’s coaches, said Lantz is one of the team’s leaders.

“He likes to get the other kids to play better, ” McKee said. “He has stuck with the program and been very disciplined.”

Lantz hopes the team qualifies for the state tournament for the second year in a row.

Last year, Kentridge place eighth at state.“When we get to state, I have a smaller

goal of placing higher than we did last year,” Lantz said. “I know we can keep up with a lot of these teams.”

Lantz enjoyed the atmosphere of the state tournament.

“We got to see all of the best teams in the state play water polo,” he said. “I learned a lot just last year from watching differ-ent teams at state and watching the higher placing teams play. You can see all their dry passes and how they work together. It was a really good experience for not just me but the whole team in general.”

Water polo is not a school-sanctioned sport and does not receive funding from the school or district.

The team has fundraisers to help offset the costs for players and has received grants from the Seattle Thunderbirds hockey team’s Community Sports Foundation.

Kentridge is well on its way to another trip the state tournament. So far this season the team is undefeated in league play.

Bainbridge Island drops Kentridge in water polo

Kentridge High School water polo took second place in its third annual tournament at Coving-ton Aquatic Center last Saturday.

Kentridge lost 8-7 to Bainbridge Island in the final game of the night.

The tournament con-

sisted of four games, each made up of six-minute quarters.

Bainbridge Island beat Auburn in the first game. Kentridge defeated Kentwood in second game. Auburn and Kentwood faced off in a consolation game for the third match of the night.

Auburn’s team only had a few players on hand be-cause many were attending the school’s homecoming dance. Since Kentridge has a large team some of the junior varsity players filled in for Auburn.

Kentridge won the

tournament last year, and Kentwood took first place two years ago in the tourna-ment’s first year.

Kentridge coach Mike McKee said the tournament is designed to promote awareness of water polo.

“I wanted to provide a tournament for the local teams that have played here to get together and show the community that water polo might be a sport that their children might want to follow,” McKee said. “I get a number of calls from parents saying they didn’t even know they had water polo here.”

Kent City Councilmembers, from left, Jim Berrios, Brenda Fincher, Dennis Higgins and Dana Ralph help Park staff plant a catalpa tree at Riverview Park on the Green River Trail. MARK KLAAS, Kent Reporter

Planting party marks fall Arbor Day celebration REPORTER STAFF

Volunteers joined city and community leaders for a planting party last Saturday.

A work force of about 60 strong planted several trees and 125 cottonwoods at Riverview Park on the Green River Trail. Th e number of cottonwoods commemorates Kent’s birthday this year and helps celebrates the Green Kent Partnership’s fall Arbor Day celebration.

“Our community just loves our green space, and nothing means more to them than Arbor Day,” said Victoria Andrews, special program coordinator for park planning and develop-ment for the city of Kent. “Th ey just love to get their hands in the dirt and see a great before and aft er.”

City Councilmembers Dennis Higgins, Jim Ber-rios, Brenda Fincher and Dana Ralph were on hand to help Park staff plant trees. Mayor Suzette Cooke,

students from area high schools and members of the Kent City FC soccer team also participated.

Kent is one of 84 Tree City USAs in the state. To qualify as a Tree City USA community, the city must

meet standards established by the Arbor Day Founda-tion and the National Asso-ciation of State Foresters.
