King County gives Pacific Raceways thumbs up

Valley and UW alliance called into question

Jason Fiorito is one step closer to seeing his master plan for Pacific Raceways become a reality.

On Monday, March 19, the King County Council helped things along when it approved a demonstration project for Pacific Raceways.

“We’re ecstatic that the council saw this as a way to give a huge boost to the racing industry in the Pacific Northwest,” said Fiorito in a phone interview on March 21.

“It will absolutely manifest itself in jobs and positive economic impact.”

Little more than six months ago Fiorito was fighting to keep the master plan — something he originally unveiled in the summer of 2006 — alive for Pacific Raceways, which is a short drive from Kent, Auburn and just five minutes west of downtown Covington off the 312th/314th exit on state Route 18.

Now, though, Fiorito said the vision has a fighting chance thanks to the advocacy of King County Council members Pete von Reichbauer, who sponsored the legislation, Larry Phillips, Jane Hague and Reagan Dunn, who

A legal puzzle has arisen between the Valley Medical Center Board of Commissioners and University of Washington Medicine.

The issue involves the strategic alliance agreement between Valley, which is formally known as Public Hospital District No. 1, and UW Medicine.

The board members approved a resolution on a split vote authorizing board President Dr. Paul Joos and Vice President Anthony Hemstad to negotiate with UW Medicine “to revise the parties’ strategic alliance agreement in order to bring the agreement into conformity with applicable law and public policy.”

Voting for the resolution were Joos, Hemstad and Dr. Aaron Heide. Dissenting were commissioners Carolyn Parnell and Sue Bowman.

According to a release from the board, Phil Talmadge from the Tukwila law firm TalmadgeFitzpatrick and a former state Supreme Court justice and state senator, conducted a review of the agreement and determined it “illegally transfers responsibility

Maple Valley woman not a typical pageant contestant

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@maplevalleyreporter.com

Maple Valley resident Larissa Long doesn’t exactly fit the stereotypical image of a pageant contestant.

Married with three kids she regards herself as a social media geek who spends most of her time in gym clothes.

This past November, however, she participated in the Mrs.

Washington contest and intends to do so again this year, with the hopes of winning. As Mrs. Pacific Northwest Long has been using her title as a way to promote the long list of charities and nonprofit organizations that she supports.

She is also the spokesperson for Autism Speaks, a cause close to her heart, as her 10-year-old son Ethan has autism.

Long first became interested in the pageant three years ago after

speaking to a friend of hers who had been crowed Mrs. Seattle and was acting as the ambassador for a charity. Then her husband, Eric, suggested she enter one — an idea she was initially tentative about.

“I’m not much of a pageant girl,” she said. Yet, she admitted that she had many of the qualities that would mark her a good contestant.

“I am always out of my house, always at events, always at a charity,” she said.

Her interest was primarily with promoting Autism Speaks which helps with early intervention with autistic children. Long said [ more PAGEANT page 6 ]

woods, where he had been apparently walking by himself. It was discovered he had died of an aneurism.

The abrupt manner in which David’s death occurred, Corrigan said, made it hard for him to accept it.

For David to die, when he had so many plans in life, did not seem fair. “I had no idea what to do,� he said. “I was just floating through life. (Yet) he’s the one who died and I lived.�

Corrigan eventually decided to write the play after his death kept coming back into the forefront of his mind. “I was thinking about how I had regrets about David’s death,� he said. “It was turning over in my mind for a month before I decided to write this.�

Much like Fred in the play, Corrigan used the writing as a way to reexamine his decisions, and reflect on how it had affected him. “What started my writing about it was when you get older, you start looking back at regrets,� he said. “I couldn’t get at what the is-

The fun begins at 4 p.m. on Friday afternoon April 27 with tent camping in Lake Wilderness Park. Maple Valley Rotary fires up the grill for hamburgers and

sue was. I wrote to get at it.�

Much of the conflict in the play occurs between Fred, who is still in denial about David’s death, and Death’s ghost who is determined that he confront it. “So he (David) shows him (Fred) things,� he said. “They’re upsetting, but also revealing.�

Although Corrigan said he added a few things for dramatic effect, the story is more or less based on facts, at least in the past. “What I write is the truth,� he said. “I didn’t put anything in it that’s not true.�

For the section of the play set in the present, however, finding the right words to say was arduous and resulted in severe writer’s block at one point. “I could not verbalize it,� he said. “I couldn’t get the words in my head. So to sit down and get that from my head to the paper was painful and sometimes excruciating.�

One of the more poignant scenes, where David dies while walking in the woods, is based only on

Corrigan’s speculation, as no one was present when he died. Yet, he said he simply wrote what came to him, rather than sit down and think of it in length. “I have no idea what happened but I had a very strong feeling to write it (that way),� he said.

Because of the autobiographical element in the play, Corrigan said, it will allow the audience to get a clearer understanding of him as a poet and writer. “It’s sort of a more exposure of myself than ‘The Ave.,’� he said. “I talk about my strengths and weakness and why I was in denial about his death for 40 years.�

The play’s overall message, he said, is “to get out our fear as human beings and see things for what they are in the big picture.� “David� will have a three-night run at the Valley Stage from May 17-19 followed by the Black Dog in Snoqualmie June 1-2 and at finally wrapping up close to home at the Maple Valley Creative Arts Center June 14-16.

represents Covington and Maple Valley. “(They) took leadership roles in crafting legislation that not only offered the economic impact but also offered the environmental impact,� Fiorito said. “We’re very placed that the King County Council voted for jobs and economic impact.

It should really be looked at as a community victory, as well. We don’t have to choose between jobs and environmental protection‌ it does both. They really took a lot of time and deliberation to make sure they’re promoting both.�

Von Reichbauer sent out a release which explained the demonstration project. “This legislation permits for a more open and transparent process for large scale developments in King County, such as Pacific Raceways� said von Reichbauer in a statement. “Our hope for Pacific Raceways is to attract new and retain existing large job-producing businesses in our community.�

The idea, according to the information provided by von Reichbauer’s office, is for the demonstration

nism to test and evaluate alternative standards and processes before amending King County policies and regulations.�

Without the demonstration project ordinance, the statement said, the county did not have zoning or land use provisions on t he books which allowed staff to process a complex, multi-phase master planned development such as Pacific Raceways.

Von Reichbauer initially introduced the legislation in March 2010.

There is much work to be done, though, Fiorito said.

This is just the next step on this journey he has taken Pacific Raceways — and its neighbors, cities such as Covington, Kent and Auburn, as well as the homeowners — on since he unveiled the plan nearly six years ago.

And it has been a rough journey in recent years.

With the downturn in the economy and the fact King County didn’t have the zoning in place to allow Fiorito to move forward, it became nearly impossible to begin work on the plan, which would add a racing industrial park, improve

the existing road course, and generally upgrade the amenities at the facility which was built in 1960 by Fiorito’s grandfather.

The road course, which was built for 1960s and 1970s era cars, needs to be updated to meet the higher standards of car clubs as well as current road racing vehicles. It needs to be widened, it needs more safety zones and it needs better run off in order to obtain Federal Internacional de Automobile or FIA2 sanctioning. That stamp of approval would allow for more high profile events to come to the road course.

A new drag strip for club racers has been permitted and construction should start early in 2012. Currently the site is being prepared for that work to begin.

Fiorito would like to add an oval race track.

In addition, he would like to see 1 million square feet of industrial space with room for retail allowed on the property.

To get there, though, will be a long process. Just to get through all the requirements for the county could take close to two years. “The next step is to compile an application and that’s a very involved process,� Fiorito said. “Embedded in the legisla-

He also put in $2.1 million grandstands on the south side of the drag strip which hosts bracket races, the National Hot Rod Association’s Northwest Nationals event annually as well as Division 6’s Lucas Oil Series points event.

Financing the project is the other half of the equation. He has always planned to privately finance the improvements, which have a $135 million price tag, at Pacific Raceways. “There’s been quite a few investors waiting on the sidelines (who have) watched the outcome of this legislation,� Fiorito said. “I’m currently in talks with all sorts of investors, without going into too many details, who are interested in investing in racing in the Pacific Northwest. Because (the legislation) part of the process has been completed the financing piece has become exponentially more available.�

Fiorito believes the plan is a win-win because it will increase what he describes as an already significant economic impact.

And now he’s ready to make the master plan a reality. “It’s a huge relief because we finally feel like we have support for a world-class race track from the county,�

Fiorito said. “For that, we are very excited and very grateful.�

Malignant hyperthermia is a disease that is passed down genetically from parent to child. Only one parent needs to be a gene carrier, and the disease also can occur alongside some muscle diseases. The disease causes a rapid rise in body temperature, which results in a fever. It can also cause severe muscle contractions when the affected person receives general anesthesia. Some symptoms of malignant hyperthermia include bleeding, dark brown urine, muscle aches without cause, muscle rigidity, and a sudden fever of 105 degrees or higher. A person who has an attack of malignant hyperthermia may also have a rapid or irregular heartbeat. People with family history of malignant hyperthermia should be tested before any surgery is performed. And here’s one more reason not to do drugs: cocaine, amphetamines, and ecstasy can trigger symptoms of malignant hyperthermia.

Although malignant hyperthermia most often occurs during or after surgery, it can occur wherever anesthetic medications are used, such as in emergency rooms, dental offices, surgeons’ offices and intensive care units. Family members can have different levels of sensitivity to medications that trigger the problem. In some cases, reactions are mild, so a person may be exposed to high-risk medications several times before experiencing a reaction that is severe enough to be recognized.

Track should go full throttle

In today’s competitive business climate, it’s full-throttle to win customers. And like auto racing, it’s keep up or get out of the fast lane.

Pacific Raceways, the area’s storied but tattered motorsports venue, finds itself at a crossroads.

Track owners and operators must shift into high gear their ambitious plans to renovate or face the likelihood of losing big money, many jobs and the confidence of their diehard fans and racers, many of whom represent generations of families that have competed at the track since the first engine roared to life there in 1959. Last week the track got the green light to explore its future when the King County Council adopted legislation — a call for an exploratory pilot project – to gauge possible redevelopment of the 327-acre site that features a quarter-mile drag strip and a 10-turn, 2.25-mile road course. County officials made one thing clear: their action does not approve any expansion of the raceways, it only opens the way for all sides to study Pacific Raceways potential growth. The county initiated the demonstration project with a specific timeline for examining ways to streamline the permitting process for the mixed-use facility and, at the same time, protect the environment. “This legislation permits for a more open and transparent process for large scale developments in King County, such as Pacific Raceways,� said King County Councilman Pete von Reichbauer, sponsor of the legislation. “Our hope for Pacific Raceways is to attract new and retain existing

One of my favorite shows as a kid was “Batman the Animated Series.�

There was this one particular episode I remember where Batman is fighting Clayface, a man who is genetically transformed so that he can shapeshift himself into whatever he desires.

In that episode Clayface loses control of his abilities and begins to rapidly shapeshift. Within five seconds, he transforms into about 15 different characters: a cowboy, an astronaut, a soldier, a vampire, a pirate, a boxer, a knight then a doctor.

He ultimately collapses because his body can’t decide what it wants to be.

Western Washington weather is just like Clayface.

Eastern Washington long ago settled into its identity as a dry aired, scalding hot summer and frigid winter climate like the golden child it is.

But when it comes to weather, Western Washington is like the 28-year-old guy who’s on his 10th year of college, and keeps switching his major from communications to biology to engineering to dental hygiene because he can’t come to terms with his identity.

large job-producing businesses in our community. “Pacific Raceways will be a magnet for tourist dollars for South King County, drawing visitors from the Pacific Northwest and beyond,� von Reichbauer added. “This is a project that will bring jobs and economic growth to the region without a cost to taxpayers. The improvements to Pacific Raceways will be an economic boost to the region and provide safe, clean fun for those who enjoy motorsports.�

Owners want to move forward with a privately-funded, $130 million rehabilitation and expansion effort. According to track president Jason Fiorito and his associates, expansion could create 864 living-wage jobs and attract major events generating $15 million per race, totaling $75 million per year of economic impact in King

County. Fiorito is bold with his expansion plans. “It’s why I get up and go to work each morning,� he said of his dreams.

The Pacific Northwest remains one of the country’s “last frontiers� in motorsports. The region simply isn’t major league when it comes to auto racing complexes. Nearby Portland lost its half-mile paved oval many years ago then its open-wheel CART series race that had played such an attractive role in the Rose Festival lineup. Thereafter, Portland International Raceway went from CampCar to ChumpCar. Elsewhere, Bremerton fell far short in launching a NASCAR track. A funding mechanism never found its feet. Closer to home, the Kent strip still runs one of the areas’s last major-racing

For tourists visiting this area at any point of the year is like playing roulette with their vacation in terms of time and money.

This morning (Thursday) was a prime example of this: I woke up with rays of sun piercing through my blinds. As I left for work there was a sudden downpour of rain.

Then, as I drove down Interstate 90, there was an apocalyptic skyline, half-blue and half-murky.

Driving between Squak and Tiger Mountain, I saw the remnants of recent snowfall.

In other words, within a 40 minute commute, I experienced what life is like in Ireland, Germany and Middle Earth during Sauron’s invasion.

This might be fun if it were a ride at Disneyland, but when you’re trying to get dressed for the day, it’s helpful to know what to expect.

As an Eagle Scout, I know I’m supposed to “Be Prepared,� but in my defense, Baden Powell, the founder of Boy Scouts, lived in England, where it’s always foggy at seven o’ clock in the morning and rainy. To be prepared there, all you needed was an umbrella.

My friend loves to watch a show called “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.� Aside from the moral depravity and nihilism of the characters in it, I am quite fond of the title.

If we were to create a similar show here, however, the title couldn’t fit on the screen, because it would have to read, “It’s Always Rainy in Seattle‌.oh, wait, it’s snowing‌.never mind, it’s melting now‌.okay, now it’s really raining‌.oh, look, a sun break!â€?

In fact, Western Washington weather reminds me of Dug the dog from the Pixar film “Up!�

Incidentally, if our weather could talk, its dialogue would be eerily the same. “Hello Washingtonians, it looks like it might actually be sunny to-rain!�

To be honest, the rain doesn’t bother me that much. Yes, it would be preferable to confine it exclusively to the springtime. That’s all we ask or want. Just some regularity.

To quote the King of Swamp Castle from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, “It’s quite simple.�

In a perfect world, it would rain a generous amount only during the spring. In the summer, there would be a tad bit of rain or cloud cover, but mostly long days of mild to warm temperatures.

Then in the fall it would start to cool, but remains sunny, followed by winter, which would be cold and contain a tolerable amount of snow.

But it doesn’t and this has slowly affected our natural dispositions.

It’s why we’re automatically suspicious of anyone who claims to actually enjoy the musical “I’m Singing in the Rain.�

We don’t sing in rain here. We brood until we’ve finished drinking our $10 cups of coffee and allow the caffeine to distract us from the fact that the weather outside of our office is changing faster than the dictator of a banana republic.

When Christmas time comes around, we consider the song “Let it snow� to be a hex and a jinx, because technically it will eventually snow, just until after the yuletide season has long passed and the Mariners are back playing in the Safeco Field.

Hemstad said during a phone interview Tuesday, “I think the process (strategic alliance agreement) was rushed. If it would have been a more deliberative process these legal issues would never have arisen. It was unduly rushed.�

Community Note MULTICARE TO CELEBRATE OPENING OF NEW EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT IN COVINGTON Covington’s first emergency department will open to patients at 7 a.m. April 3, but you can get a sneak peek during a community celebration from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, March 31.

The new 24,000 square-foot MultiCare Covington Emergency Department, on the MultiCare medical campus at 17700 S.E. 272nd St., will be open 24-hours a day, seven days a week.

The open house this month will feature self-guided tours of the MultiCare Covington Emergency Department, as well as music, entertainment and family-friendly activities. Highlights include the Seattle Seahawks Blue Thunder Drum Line, a juggler, a magician, face painting, a fire truck, a bouncy house, a Zumba demonstration from Auburn Valley YMCA, and musical entertainment provided by the Tahoma Jazz Band and Tahoma Marching Band.

The MultiCare Covington Emergency Department was designed to meet the health care needs of a growing community and includes the full complement of emergency medical services for adults and children. The facility’s 19 treatment rooms include four rooms specialized for children.

March 30 , 2012 [7]

This new emergency department will cut in half the travel times for many South King County residents who need emergency care. Currently more than 15,000 patients per year seek emergency treatment as far as 30 minutes away from home. The existing urgent care at MultiCare Covington Clinic will remain.

MultiCare currently sees about 30,000 patients each year at the urgent care. The new emergency department will be added to the services offered at the existing clinic.

The MultiCare Covington Emergency Department will augment the MultiCare network of primary and specialty care clinics in Covington, Maple Valley, Kent and Auburn, as well as Tacoma General Hospital, Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital & Health Center and Allenmore Hospital in Tacoma and Good Samaritan Hospital in Puyallup.

Because the new Emergency Department is part of MultiCare Health System, it will be linked to MultiCare’s four South Sound hospitals and dozens of clinics by our system-wide electronic health records.

That means wherever a patient is treated within the MultiCare system, caregivers will have instant access to a patient’s electronic health record, including health history and such vital information as allergies or any prescription medications a patient may be taking.

The Tacoma-based, not-for-profit MultiCare Health System is the area’s largest provider of health care services, serving patients at more than 100 sites of care in Pierce, South King, Kitsap and Thurston counties. The health system traces its heritage to the founding of Tacoma’s first hospital in 1882.

His goal is to work with the district’s fellow elected commissioners and staff to provide clean and pure potable water to the district’s customers at the lowest possible price.

This can buy you:

1- liter of bottled water OR

6 - 55 gallon barrels of Covington Water District tap water and for an additional 56 cents a day, we’ll deliver it right to your taps, without the barrels of course..

The Value of Water – In Perspective Perhaps you’re familiar with an economic principle called the “Paradox of Value� or more commonly called the d i a m o n d - w a te r paradox, which was popularized

by Scottish philosopher/economist Adam Smith in 1776. Simply stated, the paradox presents the apparent contradiction that although water is on the whole more useful, and in fact essential in terms of survival, than diamonds, diamonds command an exorbitantly higher price in the market.

Though Adam Smith was never able to unravel the paradox, later economists were able to solve it by applying the principle of “supply and demand�, which generally means that price can be determined by scarcity rather than usefulness. In other words, water is essential to life, but because of its abundance, has a relatively low value. Diamonds, on the other hand, have little use in comparison with water, but because of their relative scarcity, command high prices.

Therefore, as long as people are not facing water scarcity, they believe that access to water is an obvious and natural thing that should be available at a low cost.

Today, the perception that water supply is abundant, and always will be, is rapidly changing. The World Water Council, in a 2010 report titled “Water Crisis�, stated “As the per capita use increases due to changes in lifestyle and as the population increases as well, the proportion of water for human use is increasing. This coupled with spatial and temporal variations in water availability means that water to produce food for human consumption, industrial processes and all other uses is becoming scarce.�

lack access to safe drinking water, and Africa and the Middle East are in a water crisis. An influx of articles since the turn of the century provides a strong indication that shrinking water supplies are more of a global issue, which includes many states, counties and cities in the USA. The following are examples of such articles: t " 8BUFS &Gü DJFODZ BSUJDMF QVCMJTIFE PO /PWFNCFS UJUMFE i/FX 4UVEZ 3FWFBMT 'VMM &YUFOU PG (MPCBM Water Stress – Huge Areas of Australia, India, China and USA at Extreme Risk�. t "O BSUJDMF PO NTOCD DPN UJUMFE i$SJTJT GFBSFE BT 64 XBUFS supplies dry up� predicts that at least 36 states will face B XBUFS TIPSUBHF XJUIJO ü WF ZFBST t " XBMMTU DPN BSUJDMF UJUMFE i5IF 5FO #JHHFTU "NFSJDBO Cities That Are Running Out Of Water�. t " OFX BOBMZTJT GPS UIF /BUVSBM 3FTPVSDFT %FGFOTF $PVO DJM /3%$ FYBNJOJOH UIF FGGFDUT PG HMPCBM XBSNJOH on water supply and demand in the contiguous United States, has found that more than 1,100 counties will face higher risks of water shortages by mid-century as the result of global warming.

However, suppose for a minute that your water supply was shut off. Having no water, even for a short period of time, is an inconvenience; not having water for an extended period of time becomes another matter entirely.

Water is an essential element to our survival that we continue to take for granted. Few other services in the US make such a vital contribution to our country’s health and prosperity and yet remain so largely invisible. As water becomes more scarce, like diamonds, the cost may be determined by its scarcity as much as by its usefulness. Without water, development and industry cannot occur, communities cannot exist and life cannot be sustained.

The bottom line is that the demand for water, which is a ĂĽ OJUF SFTPVSDF DPOUJOVFT UP SJTF BOE NFFUJOH UIBU EFNBOE is increasingly more challenging and costly.

Water – The Responsibility Lies With All of Us From source to tap a partnership exists between the District and its customers, one which carries a responsibility for each along the delivery system. The purpose of this article and picture below is to call to attention where the lines of responsibility begin and end.

The District is responsible for water quality, maintenance and operation of the system from the source of supply to the end of the distribution network. Referring to the diagram, the distribution network ends at the point where the water meter connects to the residential service line. In other words, responsibility for water usage shifts from the District to the customer once the water has passed through the meter and entered the customer service line.

To comply with its water quality responsibilities, the District may also require a property to install a backflow prevention assembly on the property side of the meter. The assembly helps prevent backflow between the customer’s service connection and the District’s supply line.

KENTLAKE BOYS HOOPS COACH LET GO

BY KRIS HILL khill@covingtonreporter.com

A third boys basketball head coaching position opened up recently.

Kentlake boys basketball coach Ron Charrier will not return next season, explained the school’s Athletic Director Bruce Rick, in an email interview. “Ron’s contract was not renewed,� Rick wrote. “We felt it was time for new leadership within the program, because we feel the program can reach a more competitive level than where it’s been in recent years.�

Charrier most recently led the Falcons to the playoffs after winning a tiebreaker to earn the fourth seed out of the South Puget Sound League North division.

Kent-Meridian knocked Kentlake out of the playoffs in the district tournament in February.

The Falcons finished the season 11-14 overall.

Kentwood’s boys basketball head coaching position opened up when Brian Davis resigned earlier this month after two years at the helm of that program while Rob Morrow, coach at Tahoma High, resigned from both his teaching and coaching jobs on Feb. 14. Both Morrow and Davis are Kent-Meridian graduates.

Rick said he plans to have the position at Kentlake before students return from spring break in mid-April.

PREVIEW

New Kentwood coach a familiar face

BY KRIS HILL khill@covingtonreporter.com

Mark Zender couldn’t be happier than he is at Kentwood these days.

Zender is the new head coach for the Conquerors baseball squad after spending the previous three seasons coaching the freshman team.

During the day he’s a marketing teacher at Kentwood High. “I love what I’m doing,�

Zender said. “I have an absolute, true passion for teaching marketing. I’m doing exactly what I want to be doing right now. I feel very, very fortunate.�

He takes over for Jon Aarstad, who left after eight years for a teaching and coaching position at Auburn Riverside, who led the team to a 4A state title in 2010 as well as a district title and state quarterfinal

appearance a year ago.

Zender, who grew up near Bellingham and earned an education degree at Seattle University where he also played baseball, is coaching a team he knows well.

Aarstad had mentioned to Zender that at some point he may leave Kentwood and wondered if his freshman coach would be interested in pursuing the head coaching position at some point.

It seemed like a natural fit when Aarstad did get the job at Riverside for Zender to transition into the head coaching position. “They knew I was qualified and they had seen me teach,� Zender said. “I was familiar with the kids. I know all the kids who are juniors and sophomores.�

Plus, he served as the bench coach for the varsity during the playoffs.

that play select ball for the top teams. We should have a team with a lot of experience. From my point of view, we’re looking a lot better than a lot of other teams in the league.�

Kentlake, Shelton said, should finish first in the SPSL North.

And while there are tough teams on the league schedule, Shelton added, the team is looking forward to the playoffs and taking on opponents such as Jackson and Puyallup.

A nonleague loss to Puyallup, which plays in the SPSL South, was one Shelton said Kentlake would like to avenge and they likely will get the opportunity in the league tournament in early May. Pernell said the team has a number of strengths. “Our defense, we have a really good defense,� he said. “We have really good hitting. Our lineup is strong from one to nine.�

And the fact there are six seniors who want to win could be that intangible that help bring it all together. “It’s my senior year and it’s a lot of other kids’ senior year,� Pernell said. “So, we want to win. We’re still going to be representing Kentlake in what we do so I want to go out with a bang.� [ more FALCONS page 11 ]

“I’ve coached all these kids before,� Zender said. “The kids know me and I know them.�

Aarstad said in an email interview he felt like it was a good fit. “It wasn’t based purely on baseball philosophy,�

Aarstad wrote. “I asked because I knew that Mark is a good, quality person and someone who will put forth the effort needed to run a baseball program effectively. Mark definitely has

Kentlake’s Connor Powell is one of seven pitchers on the Falcons roster this season. He will likely serve as the closer. KRIS HILL, The Reporter the baseball background and head coaching experience that is needed, and he puts both those qualities together, that made him an outstanding candidate to take over.�

Zender also knows coaching. After graduating from Seattle University he eventually landed a job teaching and coaching at O’Dea in Seattle. He served as the head baseball coach there from 1987-1997 and took that team to the 3A

state tournament three times.

For 20 years, he and his wife have run a baseball camp in Enumclaw, plus Zender has also coached youth club baseball in Enumclaw which he did during an 11-year stint away from education. In that time he worked in sales for a baseball supply company which was what helped him land the job as [ more COACH page 11 ]

Having a half dozen seniors — including Tanner Lucas, Pernell and Archibald who played on Kentlake’s football team which won the SPSL North and went to the state playoffs — also means that maturity could come into play. “Along with that and our experience because we’re seniors, we know how to calm down,� Archibald said. “It’s a long season.

If they play their best ‌ they know they’ve got as good a shot as anybody. We know we’re one of 15 or 20 teams who are capable of winning a state championship.â€?

You do every little thing right every day. Not just on the field but in school, at home.�

After Kentwood beat Kentridge 6-2 on March 22 in the first South Puget Sound League North game thanks to an offensive outburst in the bottom of the sixth to break up a 2-2 tie Zender was pleased with the effort. “We have things to work on,� he said. “We’re not where we’ll be at the end of the year. We don’t just show up and win. We have

to work. It was a team win and that was a good thing for us.�

Right now, though, Zender couldn’t be happier.

He’s got the perfect teaching job and he’s coaching baseball. “I’m just a baseball junkie,� he said. “So, we just smile and play baseball.�

Young pitching no problem for Tahoma

BY KRIS HILL khill@maplevalleyreporter.com

An entire pitching staff for Tahoma High’s baseball team graduated.

A group of pitchers who helped the Bears to a

South Puget Sound League North crown, their fourth appearance at the 4A state tournament in five years, and a 20-3 season.

For some teams that would make this a rebuild-

ing year.

Tahoma, however, is simply refocusing on its current strengths: defense and hitting.

Connor Cloyd, a senior captain who patrols center field, said the one upside

of all the rain during the preseason was that it allowed the team to work on those key elements. “We haven’t been able to be outside much,� Cloyd said.

“We pretty much find anyone we can get to throw bullpen to see what pitching we got.�

BASEBALL Time inside means time working on hitting and throwing.

Cloyd said the team will need its bats to get hot

And play tough in the field to support whoever is on the mound. “We’ll have to play good D,� he said. “We’ll have to try and cut down on errors we because we had a lot last year.�

Senior shortstop Ryan Malone stated, “We basically just gotta be sound fundamentally, mentally, defensively to back up our pitching. Our younger guys are stepping up (on the mound) this year.�

So far, big bats and defense seems to be working for the Bears, as they have started the season 4-1 overall and 3-0 in league play

XXX DPWJOHUPOSFQPSUFS DPN t XXX NBQMFWBMMFZSFQPSUFS DPN through March 23. Tahoma’s only loss was to Rogers in the first game. The Bears then ripped off four straight wins and scored 43 runs total.

Cloyd is hitting at a .500 clip with a double and a triple after four games.

It helps that Tahoma is returning five starters from last year’s team, including Malone and Cloyd, as well as junior Reed Johnson who was First Team SPSL North and the league batting champ with a .604 average in 2011 as well as senior first baseman Tanner Anthony who was all First Team All-League a year ago.

Malone said despite their youth Tahoma’s pitchers

have come through and the hitters are getting the job done as well. “So far, pitching has been solid,� he said. “Our entire lineup up and down can hit. We just need to throw strikes and let our defense play.�

And as of March 23, Tahoma is in first place in the SPSL North, though it’s still early. There are plenty of tough games ahead. “It’s a great start to be 3-0 because you need the confidence going up against the tough teams next week,�

Cloyd said.

Still, Cloyd thinks Tahoma can be a strong team again this season, even if it’s a different looking group than a year ago.

“A reasonable goal is to be a playoff team, a playoff contender, win league,� he said. “We want to repeat that. We want to make it back to state.�

And, of course, every team wants to take home the big prize. Tahoma, Cloyd said, is no different and always has its eye on a state championship.

To do that, he explained, the Bears need to “just compete, put up runs.� “We can’t play to our opponents’ level,� Cloyd said. “We can do it with our bats. Our defense is good enough we can make it pretty far.�

If Tahoma can stay calm and collected this season, Malone said, those goals for

the playoffs are realistic. “We just need to stay loose and not press and just let it happen,� he said. “We just need to keep playing our game.�

Cloyd and Malone noted that Tahoma may be overlooked this season because it graduated its entire pitching staff. This could work in the Bears’ favor. “I think we’re thought of as a sleeper team,� Malone said. “People think all of our pitching has graduated but we’ve got some underclassmen who have stepped up.�
