Friends, family fight for Stacy Teacher remains hospitalized after being struck by vehicle

By TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

More than 17 days after a car struck Stacy Ankerfelt, co-workers, family and friends got together for a spaghetti feed fundraiser to support the beloved Kent teacher.

Ankerfelt, 28, was hit walking to her car on July 19 in Auburn.

As of Monday, Aug. 6, she was in

serious condition in the intensive care unit at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

Samuel Cruz, the 25-year-old Bonney Lake man who allegedly hit Ankerfelt, pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Monday.

The King County Prosecutor has charged him with vehicular assault for allegedly driving while under the influence of a prescription drug when he struck Ankerfelt.

But on Sunday, Cruz was far from the minds of Ankerfelt’s

family and associates.

Via email, Lynn Neubert, a co-worker of Ankerfelt’s at Scenic Hill Elementary, described the mood at the spaghetti feed as, “a total buzz of positive energy.”

At least 100 people came to the Log Cabin Pub in Sumner for the event, which offered a silent auction, a dart tournament, T-shirt sales and a raffle for donated items, all to raise money for Ankerfelt’s medical expenses.

Stacy Ankerfelt, a Kent teacher, has been in intensive care since July 19, when she was struck by an impaired driver outside her home in Auburn.

The Kent contingent, supported by three coaches and a chaperone, enjoyed an official sendoff ceremony with Mayor Suzette Cooke at City Hall on Tuesday morning before leaving for a two-week trip to Norway.

Marques Weekly touched a lot of lives with his participation in football, track and field and drama at Kentridge High School.

So when word spread that Weekly, 19, of Kent, had drowned Sunday at Lake Tapps in Pierce County, Weekly the news hit the campus hard, even during summer recess and one year after his graduation.

“He was a tremendous kid,” said Kentridge football coach Marty Osborn during a phone interview. “It’s so sad whenever a young kid dies. His loss will be felt throughout the community.”

Staff at Scenic Hill Elementary had already raised more than $2,000 for Ankerfelt, while a “give forward” website had collected more than $25,000.

Several quilters on staff at the school pieced together a homemade quilt for the fifth-grade teacher.

Neubert, a partner teacher to Ankerfelt’s fifth- and sixth-graders, said that even though she is old enough to be Ankerfelt’s mother, the two hit it off instantly.

“Stacy is a relatively new teacher, but you’d never guess that when you walk into her classroom,” Neubert said. “She is capable, extremely compassionate and respectful of her students. Stacy has the most self-deprecating sense of humor. I think that’s what makes her so endearing.”

People wearing bright green and pink “United for

www.kentreporter.com Stacy” T-shirts packed the party, Neubert said.

Marla Flannery, another teacher at Scenic Hill and one of Ankerfelt’s carpool buddies, described the event as energetic, optimistic and compassionate.

The week that Ankerfelt was hit by the car, Flannery said, Ankerfelt had been gathering supplies and organizing inspirational college-readiness gear. She wanted to start the year by talking to her students about college and motivating them to go, Flannery said.

“She brought sandwiches … over the summer to the apartments of students attending our school, worried that most of them probably didn’t have much food this summer,” Flannery said.

Ankerfelt’s impact on so many was evident in the number of people who donated to the online site and attended fundraising events, Flannery said.

Kent, 24 other cities renew animal services contracts county Kent is among 25 cities that renewed contracts with Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC) on July 31.

King County Executive Dow Constantine signed a series of inter-local agreements that keeps the regional model for animal services in place for another three years.

Under the new agreements with RASKC, cities will be assessed charges based 80 percent on their use of services and 20 percent on their population, instead of the previous formula that weighted the charges 50/50.

In addition, King County has redrawn the four animal control districts, and will staff each with at least one animal control officer seven days a week. The new contracts take effect Jan. 1, and will run for three years.

“We all look forward to continuing to provide the quality service that the people and animals of King County deserve,” said Regional Animal Services Manager Gene Mueller, DVM.

Crews continue sandbag removal along levees

By Steve Hunter shunter@kentreporter.com

The walkers and bicyclists are returning to the Green River Trail in Kent as the sandbags go away.

Crews have removed nearly 8,500 of the approxi-

mately 20,000 giant sandbags lining nearly 12 miles of levees along the river, said Kelly Peterson, city environmental conservation supervisor, in a Tuesday phone interview.

“People are out there using it,” Peterson said.

“We’ve had a lot of positive feedback. The people are pleased they can use the trail.”

AGR Contracting, Inc., of Monroe, received the contract of $894,628 in July to remove the sandbags and repair any trail damage.

City officials expect to have all of the sandbags gone by the end of September.

Crews started to remove the sandbags on July 10.

King County voters appear to be approving a property tax measure to rebuild the Youth Services Center in Seattle.

As of Primary Election results Wednesday morning, 52.63 percent of the voters were approving King County Proposition No. 1, also known as the Children and Family Services Center Capital Levy. The measure had 47.37 of voters rejecting the levy.

The measure seeks $210 million over nine years to replace what county officials call outdated and failing facilities. The levy is seven cents per $1,000 assessed valuation, which would cost the owner of a $350,000 home about $25 per year.

Kent voters helped pick two finalists for each of the two Congressional races that cover parts of the city.

Adam Smith, DTacoma, received 60.55 percent of the vote against four challengers as he seeks re-election in District 9. Smith will run in the General Election Nov. 6 against Republi-

Emergency Feeding Program begins

By TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

A resource for the hungry will now be centered in South King County.

The Emergency Feeding Program of Seattle, King County is now operating their main warehouse out of the former Greenfresh Market building in Renton.

The nonprofit organization provides 2,000 bags of food a month to the hungry countywide. The

program is leasing the space for two years from St. Vincent de Paul, which purchased the building last October to expand their services in fall 2014.

The Emergency Feeding Program has been open a couple of weeks and continues to facilitate groups of volunteers to pack their bags of food.

Youth from a City of Mercer Island volunteer program recently donated their time to pack bags

and organize. They are just one of the many groups who routinely help the program with their efforts.

There is no direct client distribution from the warehouse. It is an assembly, storage and distribution site to other agencies that provide food to clients.

Last year in Renton, 1,650 emergency food bags were delivered to partners at Aging and Disability Services, the [ more PROGRAM page 11 ]

Dave Reichert, RAuburn, leads with 48.17 of the vote as seeks re-election in District 8.

Reichert will run in November against Democrat Karen Porterfield, who has 32.19 percent of the vote. Four other candidates were eliminated as the top two vote getters advance to the General ballot.

No race in Kent for the Legislature had more than two candidates, so everyone advances to the November ballot. Kent is served by Districts 33 and 47.

It looks like the most interesting legislative race looms between State Rep. Mark Hargrove, R-Covington, and Democratic challenger Bud Sizemore of Kent for a House seat in District 47. Hargrove has 51.87 percent while Sizemore has 47.99 percent of the vote.

In the other House race in District 47, Democratic incumbent Pat Sullivan received 60.64 percent of the vote compared to 39.23 percent for Republican challenger Andy Massagli of Kent.

Animal cruelty court case continued again A Kent man charged with first-degree animal cruelty had his court case continued to Sept. 13.

Steven William Cole had been scheduled to appear in King County Superior court July 23 for a hearing, when trial dates can be set or attorneys can ask for more time to prepare the case.

King County prosecutors charged Cole on May 14 for first-degree animal cruelty after he allegedly shot a neighbor’s dachshund in the leg with a pellet gun for reportedly “crapping” on his property. Cole pleaded not guilty May 24.

If convicted, Cole could receive a sentence of up to one year.

The incident occurred March 31 in the 29800 block of 159th Lane Southeast in unincorporated Kent, south of Covington.

Peterson said about the September date.

Crews remove more than 500 sandbags per day. They have taken away many of the bags from South 190th Street to near South 240th Street.

“It’s been going pretty smooth,” Peterson said.

“A few sections will need repairs. But overall it’s been pretty good.”

East Pierce Fire and Rescue dive teams were called to Lake Tapps North County Park at about 5:30 p.m. Sunday for a report of a water rescue. Divers found Weekly approximately 15 minutes after crews arrived.

He was transported by boat to a waiting medical unit where he was treated and later transported to Good Samaritan Hospital in Puyallup. Weekly died Sunday night at the hospital, according to Pierce County Sheriff ’s Office spokesman Ed Troyer.

Weekly transferred to Kentridge from Stadium High School in Tacoma his junior year. He played running back and defensive back. He was a sprinter in track.

“He’d always walk down the hall with a big smile,” Osborn said. “He was a very friendly type of kid.

He was the kind of kid that everybody loved.”

Friends and family of Weekly had a candlelight vigil for him Tuesday night at Kentridge. They started at the theater and moved down to the football field and circled the track to mourn his loss.

New county family support organization is formed

Marci Goebel, a parent of one of the Kent players, gives the team some farewell best wishes before a shuttle leaves City Hall for Sea-Tac Airport on Tuesday.

The team is on a two-week, cultural/ soccer exchange trip to Norway.

MARK KLAAS, Kent Reporter

[ trip from page 1 ] The adventure – an enormous project supported by the Kent business, civic and soccer community – is an inaugural soccer/cultural exchange trip fueled by the Kent Sister Cities Association (KSCA) Norway Committee.

The KSCA teamed up with the Kent Youth Soccer Association (KYSA) to establish the soccer relationship between Kent and Sunnfjord, a traditional district in western Norway and a popular tourist region, with spectacular waterfalls, fishing, white-water rafting, glaciers, hiking and beautiful scenery.

After encouragement from the mayor of Sunnfjord, a cultural

exchange was developed to unite soccer players from the communities.

The Kent team of select players will travel to Sunnfjord, play in four or five soccer matches in four communities, and stay with host families in nearby Gaular. The visiting players will engage in many activities with the families, absorbing the culture.

The boys will take part in activities and attend school. The journey to Norway also includes community service, in which the boys will participate in park cleanup events, international festivals and making presentations throughout the community about the program.

The Kent players also plan to take in a Premier League match.

“I’ve been out of our country,

but nothing like this,” said Brendan Leistiko, 13, an outside midfielder.

“I’m not worried about the competition. I’m more excited about what everybody will be doing over there.”

Added Blake Capperauld, “It will be good exposure for us to play a different style of soccer.”

To get to Norway, Kent players and parents organized fundraisers.

Players did their share of volunteer work.

The KYSA, KSCA, Veolia Transportation, Bowen Scarff and Golden Steer sponsored the effort.

The team also received uniforms from Adidas and a grant from the Sons of Norway Foundation.

Kent plans to reciprocate when a team from Norway visits in 2014.

Delegates from the KSCA Norway Committee plan to travel to Nor-

way in September to negotiate the new Memorandum of Understanding (official governing terms of the sister city relationship). The soccer/ cultural exchange will be part of the memorandum.

For Ashtin Stuart, 13, the trip promises to be what Cooke described as a “memory maker.”

“It’s a chance that most kids don’t get,” he said. “It’s a chance to have fun and hang out with friends.”

Players participating are: Leistiko; Troutner; Capperauld; Stuart; Christopher Goebel; Brandon Kam; Easton Hulstrom; Dylan Leeman; Micah Wills; Jack Tate; Tyler Hutsell; Noah Arndt; Aidan Cabrera; and Shane Andersen.

Coaches are: Tim Leeman; Travis Leistiko and Robert Goebel. The chaperone is Michelle Kam.

NOW OPEN on KENt’s East Hill The assistance you need

Overcome Depression with

L-Tryptophan The amino acid tryptophan is a natural ingredient in cheese, meat and poultry. The body uses it to rebuild serotonin an important neurotransmitter in the brain.

Anxiety, negative thoughts, stresses and poor diet actually wears out and uses up serotonin. As people age they make less serotonin and have difficulty sleeping and functioning happily. Adequate serotonin instills a sense of emotional well being.

Even though L-Tryptophan is plentiful in meats and poultry the easiest way to get the necessary amount is with supplements. The best bet is to take 1000 to 2000 milligrams of L-Tryptophan daily with 50 milligrams of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) and 500 milligrams of vitamin C before bedtime on an empty stomach.

Vitamin B6, C, and magnesium are necessary to complete the transition from L-Tryptophan to serotonin.

I’ve been reading “1948,” an interesting book by David Pietrusza.

Pietrusza’s book is a well-documented account of the race for the White House in 1948 when Democrat Harry Truman pulled out a shocker over Republican Tom Dewey.

Dewey has been characterized as something of an intellectual stuffed shirt through the years, which may have been true.

I came across an interesting scene in the book where Dewey and Harold Stassen were debating in Portland on May 17, 1948 prior to the state’s primary election. The two were locked in a pretty good battle for the Republican nomination.

The serious effort to hunt down communists was just beginning to gather steam and would boil over when the Alger Hiss case hit in August 1948 and Sen. Joe McCarthy took center stage in the troubling period of tyranny for our country.

Stassen was riding a populist movement based on a bill proposed by Republicans Richard Nixon, then a representative from California, and Rep. Karl Mundt of South Dakota.

The bill established the Subversive Activities Control Board and outlawed the CPUSA, Communist Party USA. The easy thing was to jump on the “let’s hate the commies” bandwagon. It made for easy talking points and easy votes.

Stassen’s point was the communist organization should be outlawed because “patriotic young Americans” were being drafted to fight the menace.

I always get a bad feeling when a candidate uses “patriotic,” “young” and “hero” in a sentence.

We need more creativity, less burden on taxpayers No more taxes on homeowners.

The City of Kent leadership needs to show some foresight, creativity and resourcefulness.

With all the state and county nickel and diming on homeowners, the tax burden is adding up.

Kent needs to require more of developers and businesses.

It’s unfortunate that Kent seems to show no prowess in planning for infrastructure and, it appears to me, keeps reaching for the easy way out.

MY ADVENTURES

Applying the brakes to fast trip on the strip Time for a confession.

I had the opportunity to take a breakneck ride with a Frank Hawley’s Drag Racing School instructor at Pacific Raceways last week.

But I couldn’t go through with it.

It was an invitational media event, leading up to the National Hot Rod Association’s 25th O’Reilly Auto Parts Northwest Nationals at the historic Kent track.

I arrived early and took photos of others going down the quartermile drag strip in a super gas car and a super comp dragster driven by NHRA Funny Car driver Jack Beckman.

OPINION

[6] August 10, 2012

Both cars go in excess of 140 mph.

As I climbed into a two-layer fire suit, I was feeling stoked to take a swift, unforgettable ride in a drag racing car.

The super gas car? Imagine your driver’s ed car on steroids.

The suit was uncomfortable. But, no worries, the ride would last a mere nine seconds.

Protection Act,” would also allow the Border Patrol to ignore 16 laws that protect clean water and air, and erode efforts to restore prized wildlife habitat on those lands.

Rep. Dave Reichert voted against removing this portion of the legislation. But, he ended up voting against the overall bill with this provision in it.

We can only hope that he meant to oppose this “border bill” all along.

Who wants this? Not Homeland Security. It is on record saying they do not need or want this kind of unchecked authority over public lands.

Let’s hope the Senate doesn’t support this bill that would impact our public lands and that if they try to, Sens. Cantwell and Murray object. We expect our senators to ensure that our outdoor traditions and access to healthy lands are not compromised.

– John and Ronni McGlenn, Washington Wildlife Federation

I very not gracefully got into the passenger side of the car. As I got strapped in tightly, the visor on my helmet went down and my vision was significantly reduced.

At that moment, my heart rate skyrocketed.

I had a flashback to my last enclosed MRI in 2005 for a bad back that eventually required surgery.

I barely managed to survive the 20 minutes in the machine. I told my orthopedic doctor I would never do one of those again, but by then, I had done it twice. [ more HILL page 7 ]

My fast lap never materialized, but I was not alone.

Other dignitaries were invited to take a trip down the strip. They bailed at the last minute.

Others, notably Gov. Chris Gregoire, reportedly had huge grins on their faces after they got out of the race car.

“I believe that the governor was very impressed, not only the experience of the car but the gravity of the show that the (NHRA) series brings to town,” said Jason Fiorito, track president.

The experience brought smiles to Kent Mayor Suzette Cook and Auburn Mayor Pete Lewis as they

The final straw for my ride that was not-to-be was when one of the drag racing school employees guided my left hand to a lever and said, “Press this if for any reason you need to pop the seat belt off.”

I thought to myself, “Crap! If something happens … ” Then the claustrophobic response was in full force.

I had to get out of the car.

The driver understood. I left the cockpit, feeling a bit embarrassed.

In that moment, I had a whole new appreciation for men and women who race cars for a living.

BLOTTER Stolen car Officers arrested a 23-year-old Kent man for investigation of stealing a vehicle after a short police pursuit in Kent and Auburn at about 4:45 a.m. Aug. 3.

An officer saw a vehicle traveling eastbound on West Meeker Street at an extremely high rate of speed, according to an email from Kent Police spokesman Jared Kasner.

The vehicle was going so fast that when it crossed the railroad tracks just west of Sixth Avenue North, the front wheels both left the roadway, jumping the tracks.

An officer attempted to initiate a traffic stop, but the vehicle fled. Police pursued the vehicle and were able to stop it in Auburn. There were no injuries.

Police arrested the driver, who reportedly had stolen the vehicle a couple of days earlier.

Police arrested a woman for investigation of thirddegree malicious mischief after she reportedly punched a glass door at her mother’s home Aug. 1 in the 12700 block of Kent Kangley Road.

The mother told officers she had been in an argument with her daughter and then locked her daughter and granddaughter out of the house, according to the police report.

The daughter banged on the front door and demanded to be let in. She then went to a side door but before she opened it the mother locked the door. The daughter then reportedly punched the glass in the door, severely cutting her arm.

Paramedics treated the daughter for the cuts and transported her to Valley Medical Center in Renton.

The mother said the daughter does not live at the home and she wants her to pay for the damages.

Officers were on foot patrol at the park heading back to their car when they saw a vehicle turn off its headlights and pull into an access trail for Soos Creek Trail along 152nd Way, according to the police report.

Officers saw the car along the trail and smelled the odor of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle as they approached it. An officer asked the driver what they were doing along the trail and the man replied, “Just smoking some weed.”

When police asked the man if he had any marijuana inside the car, he said he did and handed them a plastic baggie. Officers tested the material in the baggie and discovered 0.3 grams of marijuana.

Both the man and the woman told police they had smoked the marijuana.

The man and woman had removed steel pins in order to get their vehicle down the trail.

most of the cost of the sandbag removal by delaying certain levee projects along the river. The district is funded through a county-wide property levy of 10 cents per $1,000 assessed value.

As far as where all the sand goes, about 2,300 giant sandbags within the Riverbend Golf Complex can be emptied for fill material along the perimeter of the golf course. The contractor must find sites away from the river for the rest of the sand as well as get rid of the black plastic covering the bags.

AGR Contracting takes the sand as fill material to Cedar Grove Composting, which will evaluate the sand for its best use in its operations.

The city contract requires the contractor to use rubber-tired or rubber-tracked equipment to minimize damage to the paved trail surface.

Crews placed 3-feet high sandbags along the trail three years ago for extra flood protection along the levees after the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers discovered a winter storm in January 2009 had damaged an abutment next to the Howard Hanson Dam on the upper Green River. The Corps completed repairs to the dam last fall.

No heavy rainstorms ever tested the sandbags.

A FAMILY TRADITION

BY MARK KLAAS mklaas@kentreporter.com

“I might try Phoenix,” said the man affectionately known as “Zab” around iconic Kent Bowl for 50 years. “But I don’t think I

presenting

will ever retire unless the good Lord takes me first.”

A month shy of his 87th birthday, the charismatic Zab is ready to spend more time elsewhere, perhaps watch his Thoroughbreds dart on the dirt at Arizona’s Turf Paradise under the winter sun.

As part of his daily routine, Zab plans to occasionally check up on things at the 54-year-old alley, but knows it’s in the capable hands of his son and sidekick. Dennis Zaborac, now 63, has managed the place off and on since he first tagged along with his father at the alley when he was 13.

“I once gave him a threeyear notice,” said Dennis, who left the alley temporarily to successfully establish and run his own software business. “He didn’t think I could make it on the out-

side … and he didn’t think he could make it on the inside without me.”

Turns out, they managed just fine.

Over time, father and son would come full circle and reunite in their passion to keep a Kent tradition going.

The bowling alley, a Kent landmark on Central Avenue North, has aged well. The alley – built in 1958 while livestock grazed in pastures next to it – has since expanded to 32 lanes and adapted to technological change.

Despite the many ups and downs of the economy, a diverse and competitive entertainment climate and a changing, aging customer base, Kent Bowl has persevered.

“And I have my loyal customers to thank for that,” Zab said. “I’ve had a lot of

Zab has come far since he first took on a managerial role at the alley.

As increasing numbers of homeowners attempt to sell their homes without broker involvement, it is even more important to enlist a lawyer’s help with the real estate contract. At the very least, a real estate contract will include identification of the parties, a description of the property, clear terms of payment, some consideration (a deposit), and an offer and an acceptance. Most likely, both the buyer and seller will want other terms and contingencies. Usually, the buyer will want the sale contingent upon receiving a clear title insurance policy, and the seller will want an earnest money deposit to bind the deal. The terms of the transaction should be spelled out in as much detail as possible.

Whether you are selling your home without a broker or contemplating some larger real estate deal, you need an experienced lawyer to help you navigate the sometimes complex world of real estate law. I have years of experience dealing in all aspects of real estate law and can make certain that you don’t get any unpleasant surprises along the way. Please call 425-227-8700 to schedule an initial appointment to discuss the merits of your case. My offices are conveniently located in Renton and Kent.

Zab and his wife, Vivian, worked “hand in hand.

I wouldn’t have made it without her.”

Vivian died in 2000 from cancer.

Zab said one of the features he and his wife started that kept Kent Bowl together over the decades was the Kent Bowl tournament. When the couple first started the tournament there was 100 entries and at the height Kent Bowl pulled in 8,700 entries and the tournament lasted 16 weeks.

Zab has enjoyed sharing his love of bowling with others, not only as a manager and owner of an alley, but as a player and teacher.

Having left his legacy, Zab knows his family business will continue for future generations to enjoy. Zab still plans to stick around for as long as he can.

New path A Boeing shakeup put Zab in a different spot.

Unhappy in the new job, he turned to a new career in bowling.

A group of investors had bought Kent Bowl, in the same location as today, to keep it from going out of business, and they hired Zaborac to manage the place.

“I came here as a $600-amonth manager in 1962,” he said. “I had a good job at Boeing, but they had transferred me into a job where I didn’t have much to do. I found plenty to do here.”

It was a struggle at first, but Zab found his niche.

Time for a second planting, fresh crop Next, prepare the seed bed by loosening the soil to a depth of at least 12 inches

and leveling the top layer.

Use a rake to make shallow furrows and then recycle and use up any left-over seeds of arugula, Swiss chard, lettuce, radish, broccoli, beets and cabbage.

THE gardener

Just pull out any crops like peas and lettuce that have bolted or gone to seed and add some compost or fertilizer to the soil.

Marianne Binetti

The second week of August is planting time for a second spring.

Our climate allows for an Autumn harvest of veggies and flowers planted now for a fresh start. This means if the cool start to our summer delayed your planting of lettuce, radish and kale you still have a second chance to grow your own.

will provide a fresh crop of greens that with some winter protection can last through the entire winter.

Q. My hydrangeas are beautiful this summer!

If I cut the blooms to use indoors, does this mean the plant will not flower next year? P.P., Enumclaw A. No worries, harvest hydrangeas as cut flowers all summer long because this is one way to make sure you are pruning off the two-year old or blooming branches of your big leaf hydrangea shrubs. This would be the mop-head hydrangeas with the big round blue balls of bloom.

The branches that do not have flowers this summer will bloom next year so do not prune any bloom-less

branches at this time.

There are also new hydrangeas on the market called “Endless Summer” hydrangeas that flower on new wood. These can be pruned back any time and removing old blooms will encourage these new varieties to put out even more blooms.

Q. I planted the geraniums you recommended called “Big Red” and they are big and red but now the older flowers are turning dry and black. The new buds and flowers that keep sprouting still look good.

What do you think is wrong? J.B., Eatonville A. I suspect your geraniums are healthy, but in need of a good dead-heading.

This means you must snap off the stems and heads of

Dead-heading summer annuals and keeping them well fertilized and watered in the month of August is the best way to guarantee flowers that will continue to bloom until the fist hard frost in October.

The Seattle Thunderbirds’ fourth annual Hockey School offered instruction to kids in seven age groups, including seasoned adult players. The six-day camp tested the players’ balance, edge control, skill development, puck handling, passing, receiving, shooting, defending and

no-contact checking. T-Bird coaches and players also led office training, including dryland techniques, stick handling and shooting.

The school has grown, stretching from one to two weeks this summer and attracting between 100-120 players, nearly doubling its enrollment from a year ago, according to Jeff Caso, T-Birds hockey operations assistant.

School continues next week.

Thompson starts for injured setter at Summer Olympics Kent’s Courtney Thompson started at setter Tuesday and helped lead the U.S. Olympic Women’s Volleyball Team into the semifinals Thursday at the London Olympics.

The U.S. defeated the Dominican Republic 25-14, 25-21, 25-22 in the quarterfinals. Team USA, now 6-0 in the Olympics, played Korea in the semifinals on Thursday after press deadline.

Japan played defending Olympic Games champion Brazil in the other semifinal.

Thompson, 27, a former star at Kentlake High School and the University of Washington, replaced the injured Lindsey Berg, the regular setter and team captain who hurt her ankle in Sunday’s match. It was the first Olympic start for Thompson, who had a block and an ace for two points.

The 5-foot-8 Thompson led Kentlake to three high school state volleyball titles from 2000 to 2002.

Courtney Force takes first national title

By Kris Hill khill@covingtonreporter.com

John Force, the legendary funny car driver who has won 15 championships in the class, was running around hugging and high fiving anyone who was willing at the starting line after his youngest daughter Courtney won her first national event Sunday at Pacific Raceways.

Courtney Force, a rookie in the National Hot Rod Association’s funny car class, drove her Traxxas Ford Mustang to the winner’s circle by beating her father in the semi-final and former funny car champion Matt Hagan in the final at the 25th Annual O’Reilly Auto Parts Northwest Nationals.

This isn’t her first time hoisting a Wally, the nickname for NHRA trophies, at the track which is just a short drive from downtown Covington, Kent and Auburn. She got her first national event win in top alcohol dragster in 2009 at Pacific Raceways.

It wasn’t something Force thought would happen this season, especially in this event after she qualified 14th in a field of 16 cars.

“I remember coming out here and getting my Top Alcohol Dragster win,” Force said in an NHRA statement. “I looked at

Steve Torrence, driver of the Capco Contractors top fuel dragster, makes a qualifying pass Aug. 5 at Pacific Raceways. Torrence won the event, claiming his third win of the season. kris hill, The Reporter that Wally and remember thinking how much I couldn’t wait for the day I could get one that said Funny Car on the side.

Being that it’s my rookie season, I didn’t expect it to happen this year at all.

This is my learning season.

I’m doing everything I can to be the best at what I’m trying to do.”

It wasn’t easy to win as weather conditions made it tricky for the nitro-fueled cars, which typically do better in cooler conditions such as what teams experienced a week ago in Sonoma, Calif. This time,

the heat was on at Pacific Raceways, with temperatures in the 90s and track temperatures hitting 130 degrees Sunday.

Joining the younger Force in the winner’s circle was Erica Enders, who took her second win of her career beating Jason Line to the finish line in the pro stock final.

“I’m so proud of my guys because they won this race today,” Enders said in an NHRA statement. “They gave me a great car for me to drive, and we drove it right to the winner’s circle.

I’m honored to be their

driver, and hopefully we can get a few more wins before the season is over. If we can position ourselves well before the Countdown begins, this is a good time to be starting to gain momentum.”

Finally, Steve Torrence, who like Enders and Force got his first event wins this season, picked up his third Wally in five final rounds and picked up some valuable points to cap off the three-event Western Swing which started three weeks ago in Denver, Colo., before heading to Sonoma, Calif., two weeks ago with

the event at Pacific Raceways the final race in the swing.

With a 4.168 elapsed time at 261.98 MPH, Torrence beat Shawn Langdon, who is still looking for his first Wally, and is driving for Al-Anabi Racing.

“Shawn had me nervous in the final,” Torrence said. “He’s a great leaver and a great race car driver. Alan Johnson has had that Al-Anabi car runnin’ all day. I counted on [ more force page 15 ]

David wins Seafair in Oh Boy! Oberto Steve David and the Kent-based U-6 Oh Boy! Oberto captured the 63rd Albert Lee Cup – his third straight Seafair win – on Lake Washington Sunday, the fourth stop on the Air National Guard H1 Hydroplane Tour.

“Winning three straight is incredible,” said the 58-year-old Floridian, who took his fourth Seafair win in the past six years. “Considering that only a couple of other guys have done that – and who they were – it really hasn’t sunk in yet.”

With the win, David takes a 193-point lead in the series high-point standings as the tour shifts to Mission Bay in San Diego on Sept. 14-16, followed by

the season finale in Doha, Qatar on Jan. 10-12.

David joins Dave Villwock and the late Bill Muncey as three-peat Seafair winners.

In the final heat, David got the jump, flying around the contenders on the outside, timing his arrival at the score-up buoy perfectly.

He then established more than the legal overlap and moved over to the inside lane and wired the start at full speed. From that point on, it was all David, David averaged 135.021 mph for the win, the 15th in his unlimited hydro career.

“We tried four different starts today and saved that one for the final,” David

Steve David sped to Seafair victory Sunday on Lake Washington in the Oh Boy! Oberto. Courtesy Photo said. “I tried it once earlier but the engine stalled for a moment and I couldn’t make it work.”

Jimmy Shane, driving the U-5 Graham Trucking hydro, was second.

Villwock, a former Auburn resident, and the U-1 Spirit of Qatar 96 were third.

Brian Perkins, guiding the U-21 Miss Albert Lee Appliance, was fourth in the seven-boat field.

J. Michael Kelly (U-37 Beacon Plumbing) used the

inside to get past Villwock for an apparent third-place finish, but was penalized a lap and dropped to sixth place.

The day started with David pushed out to lane three at the start of Heat 2A with Greg Hopp in the U-100 Miss Fox Plumbing and Jon Zimmerman in the U-9 Seattle Sun Tan presents Sound Propeller Services to his left. David powered to the lead, exiting the first turn and cruised to victory

with Zimmerman finishing strong to take second and Hopp finishing third.

In 3A, David got the inside on Villwock and held off the Spirit of Qatar for three laps with Shane running third. Several minutes after the heat, officials announced one-lap penalties on David and Villwock. The reshuffled finish gave Shane the victory with David and Villwock dropping to fifth [ more seafair page 15 ]

(crew chief) Richard Hogan and had a lot of confidence and did my job. I felt it start to knock the tire off in the final round and went as quick as I could to get it back going. Today, we were just on the right side. We’re living lucky.”

Torrence put his team together at the end of the 2011 season and has said repeatedly in recent weeks how pleased he is with its performance this year.

At the NHRA’s press conference before the Northwest Nationals, Torrence told the media at the Space Needle how he felt about what his team had accomplished at that point, which was two event wins in four

final rounds.

“I’ve think we’ve surpassed any expectations I had a long time ago,” Torrence said. “It’s really pretty cool. I’m honored and privileged to come out and race in the NHRA.” With just a month to go before the NHRA’s Countdown to the Championship, which culminates with the final race of the 23-event Full Throttle Drag Racing Series in Pomona, Calif., drivers have spent the Western Swing trying to crack the top 10 in order to have a shot at the championship while others have been working to move closer to the top.

CITY OF KENT PUBLIC NOTICE SEPA THRESHOLD DETERMINATION Pursuant to KCC 11.03, Environmental Policy, the City of Kent has issued a threshold determination for the following:

Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance (MDNS) for: CITY OF KENT PUBLIC WORKS MILL CREEK CONFLUENCE RESTORATION #ENV-2012-13, KIVA #RPSA-2121653 The City of Kent Environmental Engineering Division proposes to create approximately 1.5 acres of aquatic habitat adjacent to the Green River near the confluence of Mill Creek, in order to increase floodplain refuge habitat for salmon and other fish, enhance riparian habitat and restore floodplain functions. The project will include creation of a new floodplain wetland off of Mill Creek that will receive backwater when water levels are elevated in the Green River; providing an additional 50 acre-feet of floodwater storage. Invasive plants will be removed and the entire site will be enhanced with native trees and shrubs as well as log habitat structures.

The project will be constructed in two phases. Phase 1 will involve excavation of approximately 42,000 cubic yards of material, reusing most of it on-site to avoid importing soil. Phase 2 will include excavation of an additional 69,000 cubic yards with reuse of approximately 700 cubic yards and disposal of the rest off-site. If grant funding allows, phase 1 construction will begin in summer of 2013.

The site is located north of South 262nd Street and west of State Route 167, and is identified

by King County parcel numbers 2522049023 and 0200000127.

The subject property is zoned AG, Agricultural General district.

For Dental Implant Treatment, it’s a ClearChoice!

ClearChoice team of specialists brings you a dental implant solution that fits your budget ... in just one day!* A LEADER IN DENTAL IMPLANT TREATMENT Virtually every adult will lose a tooth, and as we get older, more Americans will suffer with missing and failing teeth. These days, however, there are dental implant solutions that either didn’t exist in the past or which were difficult to access. But now, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers are leading the way in innovative dental implant treatments. Dental Implants are a permanent solution for dental problems. And now your treatment, from our team of specialists, can often be accomplished in just one day *… and without the need for additional bone graft surgeries. In fact, dental implants can last a lifetime and have become the treatment of choice for replacement of missing and failing teeth. With more than 10,000 dental implant procedures performed, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers have become a leader in dental implant treatment delivery.

TECHNOLOGY Every ClearChoice Dental Implant Center includes an on-site 3D CAT Scan.

The 3D CAT Scan technology costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. This technology provides three-dimensional and cross-sectional views that allow ClearChoice doctors to examine the quality and density of the bone that will anchor the dental implants; select the correct type and size of implants; determine the precise placement of implants, and avoid the nerves and sinuses.

Since every smile is custom designed, each ClearChoice Center has a specialized Dental Implant in-house lab to custom make your smile.

They said they had specialists, a lab, and high tech equipment all at one location, but I had no idea that they could really do all of this in just one day!* — Actual ClearChoice patient

Actual ClearChoice Patient

TEAM OF SPECIALISTS The technology alone cannot elevate ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers in their field. Our technology is paired with an expert professional team of doctor specialists enabling ClearChoice to empower so many patients around the country to change their lives. These qualified specialists include an oral surgeon who places implants, and a prosthodontist who designs your custom new smile. Each of the doctors has special expertise and can be trusted to deliver your high quality implant care. Dental Implants are a surgical procedure and the ClearChoice doctors have extensive experience in this area including administering anesthesia to provide comfort. Custom fabrication of the patient’s new smile and replacement teeth are accomplished by trained lab technicians in the on-site dental implant lab.

Our local specialists are available for a FREE initial consultation or even second opinions. Why wait, call now!

SATISFACTION & WARRANTY Whether for a missing single tooth, multiple teeth or a whole mouthful of missing or failing teeth, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers provide comprehensive implant treatment professionally and affordably in a fraction of the time it would take many other professionals. That’s why in an independent study of thousands of patients, ClearChoice patients would overwhelmingly recommend ClearChoice to others† and we warranty our work.

“I suffered with bad teeth since I was a teenager. Imagine dealing with failing teeth so young in life. As a musician, I’m often in front of an audience. I wanted a rock star smile ... and now I have one.”

- Kurt C., real ClearChoice patient

Tooth loss is not your fault. Doing nothing about it is. Come see how easy it is to live the comfortable life you deserve ...

Our risk free consultation will show you how.
