Smith: U.S. needs to step it up

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Smith

The United States needs to advance policies that foster broad-based economic growth, said 9th District U.S. Congressman Adam Smith, and the key to that is ensuring that as many people in this country as possible have a chance to obtain good jobs and are participating in the economy.

Nothing is more important to advance that goal than education, Smith said, and community and technical colleges like Green River Community College need to reach more people so they can develop the skills that will help them get good jobs. School districts need to ensure that higher education is applicable earlier on. [ more SMITH page 5 ]

Kent resident Robert Craft has been picking up litter in his neighborhood since 2007.

He lives off 240th and 112th and routinely cleans the area between 240th and Park Orchard Elementary School. Craft finds a lot of

litter discarded by motorists and kids from the local elementary and high school.

The other day he found needles.

“It’s amazing what you’ll find,” he said.

When he moved to the area, Craft didn’t know who’s responsibility it was to pick up the litter he saw collecting on the street. He sent out a bunch of emails to find out, but when he didn’t get an answer he started picking up [ more PROGRAM page 2 ]

the litter himself.

When he heard about the city of Kent’s proposal to start an Adopt-A-Street program, Craft hurried up and called the contact listed in the Kent Reporter.

Now, he has adopted Southeast 112th Street between 232th and 240th around the school, and he’s happy there is a formal program. Since the city’s AdoptA-Street program began this spring, he’s picked up litter in five intervals.

“This is a good program.

It’s too bad there’s only so many people who are involved right now,” Craft said.

But groups are slowly hitting the streets to help in the city’s efforts.

When the call for volunteers went out, 10 applications came back with requests to adopt streets and five groups since have actually done cleanups, said Gina Hungerford, the city’s conservation coordinator.

Several more people are in the process of organizing groups, she added.

“With the city having grown by nearly 30 percent with last year’s annexation, the struggling economy and limited budget dollars and limited staff, we needed help to accomplish the council’s goal of beautifying the city,” Hungerford said. “Partnering

with residents and businesses to adopt local streets was the perfect solution.”

As part of the program, volunteers adopt a one-mile stretch of road and agree to clean it at least four times a year. Volunteers watch a safety video and complete online agreements. Once completed, the city of Kent provides the safety vests, gloves, bags and litter “nabber” tools. Pink flags are provided to mark any hazardous or bulky items volunteers may encounter.

City work crews are then dispatched to gather those up after the cleanup.

In exchange for this service, the city of Kent will get a cleaner city, better quality of life for residents, improved property values and cost savings, Hungerford said.

She hopes the program will set an example for young people and for those who create litter.

“Studies have shown that litterers are more likely to litter in areas that have litter.

By cleaning these sites up, potential litterers may stop the habit,” Hungerford said.

Joe Miles and about 75 members of the Friends of Soos Creek Park also were excited to hear about Kent’s Adopt-A-Street program.

They have been cleaning parts of the 700-acre park that starts in Renton and runs into Kent for 20 years.

Miles, president of the group, said they had been calling the city for years to see if there was a formal program and were happy to discover one this year.

Friends of Soos Creek Park has adopted 148th Avenue between Southeast 256th and Southeast 240th streets. It is a critical link between the park and the creek, and they have been wanting to adopt it for a long time, Miles said.

“There’s just an awful lot of fish and wildlife that benefit from this cleanup,” he said.

They have found paint cans, drywall debris and dumping of a lot of commercial things in the area.

As part of the program, the group picked up litter for Earth Day in April.

“These roadways, parks and the streams are community assets and from our view, everybody should pitch in,” Miles said.

Group delays city marijuana initiative until 2013

By Steve Hunter shunter@kentreporter.com

A Seattle-based group has decided to wait until next year to try to get a city initiative before Kent voters to make marijuana offenses the lowest enforcement priority by Kent Police.

Sensible Washington filed an initiative in March with the city with eyes toward the November ballot. But now the group plans to shoot for a February or May vote as it also pushes for a November 2013 statewide initiative to repeal

marijuana laws.

“We are continuing to collect signatures for Kent,” said Anthony Martinelli, a spokesman for Sensible Washington, during a phone interview.

“The signatures are valid for six months and we did the core of our gathering in May.” Kent City Attorney Tom Brubaker confirmed in an email that only signatures less than six months old will be valid. That means the group needs to turn in the signatures to the city before the end of the year.

Sensible Washington will need approximately

The Kent City Council appointed five residents for two committees to write pro and con statements about the property tax levy measure for the Nov. 6 Voters Pamphlet.

The council named Mark Prothero, Ken Sharp and Gina Tallarigo to the pro committee to write arguments advocating approval of the six-year property tax increase to repair city parks and streets. Council members appointed Michelle McDowell and Christine Budell as members of the committee against the ballot measure.

Councilwoman Jamie Perry recused herself from voting on the appointments because McDowell is her mother.

Residents applied to the city to be selected to the committees.

The council voted 4-3 on July 31 to send a six-year property tax levy increase to voters on the Nov. 6 ballot. The increase of 37 cents per $1,000 assessed property value would cost the owner of a $350,000 home about $111 per year.

The levy would raise about $29 million over six years, $18.3 million for parks and $10.7 million for streets as 23 cents per $1,000 would go to parks each year and 14 cents per $1,000 to streets. The levy would expire after six years.

The measure will require a simple majority for approval.

7,500 valid signatures of registered voters to get the measure to a vote.

“We have close to the end of the year to collect,” Martinelli said. “We’re up to about half of what we need. We’re shooting for a special election in the spring. Kent might be on the ballot in February or May.” Petitions collected would be given to the city of Kent which then would send the signatures to King County for verification. If enough valid signatures are collected, the city council would come up with the ballot question for an election.

Decayed or decaying baby teeth can potentially represent active infection in the mouth. Anytime there is infection in the body or mouth, it requires immediate attention by a physician or dentist, respectively. Long term, if baby teeth are left to rot, fall out, or get extracted, there is greater potential for permanent teeth to grow in and shift requiring future orthodontic care.

King County prosecutors have charged an 18-yearold Kent man, a registered sex offender and convicted rapist, with first-degree child molestation after he allegedly had sexual contact in July with a 9-year-old girl swimming at Lake Meridian Park.

Michael Anthony Martin was scheduled to be arraigned on Thursday, Aug. 23 in King County Superior Court in Kent. He remains in the county jail at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center with bail set at $500,000.

Martin lives in the 27300 block of 144th Avenue Southeast, according to the King County Sheriff ’s Office website listing of sex offenders.

The sex offender website lists Martin as a Level 2 offender, which is described as “offenders have a moderate risk of re-offending. They generally have more than one victim and the abuse may be long term. These offenders usually groom their victims and may use threats to commit their crimes. These crimes may be predatory

with the offender using a position of trust to commit their crimes.”

Martin was convicted as a juvenile in February 2008 of three counts of first-degree child rape in connection with a 2007 case.

As far as the Lake Meridian Park case, senior deputy prosecutor Cecelia Gregson wrote in the charging papers filed Aug. 8 that Martin “sought out a poorly supervised child at a community park and preyed upon her trusting acceptance of help to learn how to perform swimming tricks.”

Martin allegedly approached a 9-year-old girl on July 17, according to charging papers. The girl told a child interview specialist that Martin assisted her during a back flip in the water and during that process poked her and rubbed her with his fingers outside and inside her bathing suit.

The girl then said she told Martin “No.” She exited the lake and told a staff member what had occurred. The girl was at the park on a field trip with the Federal Way Boys and Girls Club, according to court documents.

King County Superior Court Judge Barbara Mack announced her decision Monday in Juvenile Court in Seattle, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. Mack listened to two days of testimony as well as closing arguments from prosecutors and defense attorneys about whether to try Cressel as an adult.

After the judge’s ruling, prosecutors refiled the case Monday in adult court.

Because Cressel was 15 when the alleged rapes occurred, the Juvenile Court first handled the charges. Mack ordered adult prosecution for the boy

and declined the case, sending it to King County Superior Court rather than Juvenile Court.

Under Washington state law, an offender who commits a serious violent offense is automatically charged in adult court if they are 16 or 17 years old when the alleged crime occurred.

Cressel turned 16 in March.

If convicted in Juvenile Court, the teen would have been incarcerated up to his 21st birthday, according to prosecutors. The minimum sentence in adult court is 28 to 36 years in prison with a potential maximum sentence of up to life in prison.

Prosecutors asked the judge to try the teen as an adult. Cressel attended Kentwood High School in Covington, where Kent Police arrested him Nov. 7.

Two Kent residents were injured in a single-car rollover crash Aug. 15 along Interstate 90 near Ellensburg.

Paramedics transported driver Heijiro Komura, 75, to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, according to a State Patrol media release.

They took passenger Yoshiko Komura, 67, to Kittitas Valley Community Hospital in Ellensburg. Both the driver and passenger wore seat belts.

Komura was driving a 1995 Toyota Camry westbound on I-90 at about 8:44 p.m.

Wednesday when the car left the roadway, rolled and came to rest on its wheels in the eastbound lanes. The car was totaled.

The cause of the accident remains under investigation.

No drugs or alcohol were involved, according to the State Patrol.

In each incident, Cressel reportedly approached the woman and the girl after they had exited a bus, according to charging papers. The boy allegedly told the woman and the girl he had a gun and threatened to shoot them if they did not cooperate and go with him to a secluded spot. He reportedly raped both women while continuing to threaten them with what he said was a gun.

The girl and woman provided similar descriptions of the teen. Kent Police released sketches of the suspect.

The drawings generated a number of tips that helped detectives track down Cressel.

Detectives said state crime lab investigators matched DNA from Cressel with evidence collected from each rape victim.

A 56-year-old Kent man was killed Wednesday morning after a car collided with his motorcycle at about 6:44 a.m. in the 12200 block of Southeast 223rd Drive in the Panther Lake area.

Kent Police arrived at the scene within three minutes of the collision and found the motorcyclist suffering from life-threatening injuries, according to a Kent Police media release.

“the budget catastrophe” and deficit casts a pall over all the investments that have to be made to make these things happen and get the nation going again.

And the complete lack of consensus about how to deal with the nation’s pressing problems, the house divided, puts everything in the hazard.

“It’s crippling our ability to pass just about anything,” Smith said. “We also have all tax cuts set to expire at the end of this year. We have sequestration, which we have initiated as an automatic, across-the-board cut of well over a trillion dollars set to kick in Jan. 1.

“Information collected to this point suggests that the passenger car was being driven well in excess of the posted 25 mph speed limit,” said Kent Assistant Police Chief Pat Lowery.

Investigators will be working through the morning to complete their evidence collection at the scene, as well as inspecting the involved vehicles.

As of Wednesday, the identity of the motorcyclist had not yet been released.

The solution, Smith said “is as obvious” as it is elusive.

“We need a 10-year plan that puts in place a spending-and-tax policy for this country that gives us at least some dependability. We are at way too high a level of uncertainty right now for businesses to make decisions about the future, to make the decisions necessary to grow our economy, and for entrepreneurs to feel the confidence to make those investments and take the risks to grow the economy,” Smith said.

Redistricting lopped off the southern part of Smith’s District, which used to include Auburn, Kent and even Lacey so that today it encompasses Mercer

Island, Bellevue, Newcastle and southeast Seattle. But, having represented the old 9th Congressional District for 16 years, Smith said, he has no intention to stop representing Auburn and Kent on transportation, education, jobs and other big issues.

Fielding questions from the audience, Smith said the biggest challenge facing him as the ranking Democrat on the Armed Services Committee is managing a budget that will no longer grow, even though the country still has national security threats.

He insisted that any plan to address the budget deficit must include a combination of spending cuts and tax increases.

“Is the State doing enough to support public education?”

Vote online: www.kentreporter.com Last week’s poll results:

“Will Mitt Romney’s selection of Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate enhance his chances of winning the presidential election?”

● Q UO T E O F NO T E : “She had a heart as large as life for kids ... and we’re going to miss her terribly.”

– Dani Pfeiffer, Kent’s Scenic Hill Elementary principal, on the death of fifth-grade teacher Stacy Ankerfelt.

Looking to stand up, play again He is one of the finest soccer players to come out of Kent, a talented force who realized his dreams of playing elite competition on the manicured pitches of the mighty Major League Soccer.

But today, Ely Allen is just trying to mend a battered body.

He eagerly awaits the day when he can regain his powerful feet and propel a spinning ball into the back of the net.

Allen, the former Kentridge High and University of Washington star, is recovering from serious injuries after being struck by a hit-and-run, wrongway driver while jogging along East Hill’s Benson Highway more than a month ago.

Allen doesn’t recall what hit him from behind on that late morning of July 17. And it is just as well. The accident has left a gifted athlete in considerable pain as he slowly recovers at his mother’s home in Kent.

Doctors removed his spleen, an incision that left an eight-inch scar on his stomach.

He still has substantial leg pain, with badly swollen knees and ankles. A road rash covers his body. He has his share of stomach problems.

Recurring headaches are the residual effects of the trauma, the impact of the blow.

“If I were a baseball pitcher, I’d be done. I can’t really move my arm,” said the 26-yearold Allen. “Physically, I don’t know what’s worse, my head or my arms.”

Obamacare is at least a plan Dr. Linda Petter rails against Obamacare and demands that we repeal it and replace it with – what?

Dr. Petter offers no alternatives in her column (“Healthcare Act will be a costly jolt to us”, Kent Reporter, Aug. 17).

The critics of Obamacare in Congress have not proposed anything at all; they have only criticized Obamacare.

Romney and Ryan have proposed to replace the current Medicare payment system with private insurance.

But let’s look at this for a minute. Dr. Petter says the current Medicare reimbursements to providers are too small, so presumably the private insurance companies are going to give larger reimbursements.

And the private insurance companies are notorious for having very high administrative costs compared to Medicare.

In addition, they need to earn a profit. So they are going to give higher reimbursements, pay higher costs and give a profit to their shareholders, and yet they will reduce total costs? Please tell me how this can work, I don’t get it.

I admit that Obamacare is far from perfect. However, it is at least a plan that will provide coverage to many of those who do not have it now. I propose that we keep Obamacare until someone comes up with something better.

Dr. Petter also claims that the U.S. is the world leader in

How can we think of this as being world leadership?

– H. Peter (Pete) Beaupain

Healthcare Act worth closer look I feel I have to respond to Dr. Petter’s editorial in the Aug. 17 issue of the Kent Reporter.

First of all, I think it is extremely misleading, and so are the opinions of the far right, full of the negative talking points of that party.

This country is no longer the leader in health care. The World Health Organization gives the U.S. health system an overall ranking of 37th in the world.

According to the CIA World Factbook, life expectancy in the United States is not only lower than in other industrialized countries, but is also lower than in Jordan and Bosnia.

Infant mortality in this country exceeds that of Slovenia and Cuba.

We are the only industrialized nation that does not offer universal coverage for all its citizens. Every citizen does not have access to exceptional health care services, and that is why the Affordable Healthcare Act was initiated.

The Affordable Healthcare Act provides some of the following: immunizations and preventative care – covered in full; annual limits on essential benefits – removed – includes maternity and newborn care and pediatric services, also hospitalization and ambulatory care; coverage can no longer be denied for pre-existing conditions for those under 19; lifetime dollar limits – removed; dependent children may be covered under their parents plan through age 26; your coverage can no longer be rescinded unless you commit fraud.

Regarding Medicare, the Affordable Care Act achieves savings by reducing Medicare payments to drug companies, hospitals and other providers rather than cutting payments to Medicare beneficiaries. The Romney/Ryan plan would achieve its savings by turning Medicare into a voucher system, which does not keep up [ more LETTERS page 9 ]

[ KLAAS from page 6 ] Out of a hospital bed, Allen visits Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for therapy and rehabilitation almost on a daily basis.

It is a long road back for someone who just recently was released by the Minnesota Stars of the North American Soccer League.

“My activity is limited to three or four 10-minute walks a day, just like a grandma (walking) with my mother,” Allen said.

Police arrested a man in the hit-and-run. It turns out he is a former junior high school classmate of Allen’s.

Charges are pending.

Allen, nevertheless, is trying to look ahead, even if that path presents some uncertainty.

He doesn’t know how long it will be before he resumes jogging. Frustrated with the slow recovery, Allen clings to hopes of playing again.

“I really haven’t set any goals just because I don’t want to get knocked down,” he said. “ … Right now, my goal is just to get back

working out, get back in the weight room. From there?

We’ll see what happens.”

Allen has survived the ups and downs of a journeyman player’s career.

A McDonald’s All-American player in high school and a standout player at UW, Allen was selected the 21st overall pick by the Los Angeles Galaxy in the 2008 MLS draft. In only his second professional appearance, he scored a goal (assisted by David Beckham) against Sydney FC in the 2008 Pan-Pacific Championship.

Allen made his MLS debut in the Galaxy’s first match of the 2008 season, and scored his first MLS goal that year.

But injuries slowed Allen.

The Galaxy waived him in 2009.

Following an unsuccessful trial with Seattle Sounders FC due to illness, and having been unable to secure a contract elsewhere, Allen joined the Seattle Wolves of the USL Premier Development League in 2009. He went on to score six goals and contribute six

assists in the 16 games he played for them.

With D.C. United, Allen made a couple of appearances in the CONCACAF Champions League, but did not feature in league play, and was waived at the end of the season.

Allen played for two seasons with the NASL’s Stars before being released.

He was talking to his agent about signing with another team when the accident happened.

“From there, everything stopped,” he said.

“I would love to keep playing. But, as far as my body goes, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to,” Allen said.

“We’ll see.

“There’s definitely hope. I would love to get back playing again.”

If he’s unable to hit the pitch, Allen might turn to coaching – something he did between games at camps and clinics.

“I think the kids love me,” he said. “They all seem to come out, work hard and play every day.”

Something Allen, the player, has always done.

Communities In Schools of Kent (CISK) hosts a mentor recruitment event 8-10 a.m. Friday at Kona Kai Coffee, 124 4th Ave. S., Kent.

tors to volunteer with students this fall.”

CISK is looking for anyone interested in spending time with a youth and committed to serving as a positive adult role model.

Crews continue to remove Green River sandbags Reporter staff

Crews have removed 13,390 of the nearly 20,000 giant sandbags in Kent along the Green River.

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

to the Green River Trail, a popular walking and bicycling destination.

City officials expect to have all of the sandbags gone by the end of September. Crews started to remove the sandbags on July 10.

As of Aug. 17, crews had removed approximately 558 sandbags per day.

dam last fall. A heavy storm never tested the sandbags.

The King County Flood Control District will cover 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.

Crews placed 3-foot 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 January 2009 storm had damaged an abutment next to the Howard Hanson Dam on the upper Green River.

The Neely-Soames Historic Homestead in Kent held its annual open house last Saturday to let visitors get a glimpse of the way residents lived in 1885.

Located along the Green River Trail at 5311 S. 237th Place, just north of the Russell Road athletic complex, the Neely-Soames Homestead is one of the oldest houses in Kent. It was listed on the State Register of Historic Homes in 1977.

Kent Parks and the King County Master Gardeners, whose members maintain the heritage gardens and grounds, ran the open house and tour of the gardens.

go online and read the Affordable Care Act at www. healthcare.gov/law. At the very least, check out the analysis by the CBO. – Barbara Martin

City Council members are sellouts over B&O issue It’s clear from the B&O issue that only two of the City Council members (Perry and Albertson) hold the interests of Kent citizens above business interests.

The ploy of tabling the issue over and over and the obvious choice of taxing the homeowners over the roaddamaging businesses clarifies the political interests of the majority of council members.

When the facility to assist the poor was overwhelmingly shunned and defeated

by the callous downtown business owners, it was obvious that council members cater to business pressure and care little for the poor.

All this baloney about an efficiency study is a smoke screen.

The manufacturing/ trucking businesses will “talk” things over and “continue the conversation” until hell freezes over. They will cooperate about anything except taxation. So far, the business community has intimidated the council into keeping us the only city in our area who doesn’t have a B&O tax.

So, it appears that the deterioration of the roads and streets is the fault of a council that will protect the irresponsibility of the business interests despite the overwhelming need for revenue to keep the city streets in good repair.

My hope is that the voters stop being the piggy bank instead of laying the responsibility (and the bill) at the feet of the people who are most responsible for damaging our roads every day – the manufacturing firms whose trucks tear up the roads.

The only motive I can see for the council members’ continuing protection of businesses from legitimate taxation is that the businesses support their reelection.

The only two people who deserve the vote of the people of Kent are Perry and Albertson. All the rest are sellouts. We know who you are by what you do.

Is Her Beautiful Smile Good Genes, Or Does She Have A Secret?

A smile so natural, only her dentist knows for sure.

Empowered

Eating her favorite foods, free to travel and live the life she wants. Not afraid to laugh or get close to the ones she loves.

Many peers have missing or failing teeth, some even have dentures. How does she do it?

Odds Against Us

Consider this: MYTH:

Tooth loss affects a relatively small group of people.

FACT:

By the age of 50, the average American is missing 4 or more teeth.

MYTH:

Tooth loss is almost always a result of poor oral hygiene.

Virtually every adult will lose a tooth in their lifetime. For many, the suffering doesn’t stop there. As we age, factors ranging from poor oral health to heredity often bring about accelerated tooth loss – so much so that the average American will lose 4 or more teeth by the time they reach 50 years of age.

FACT:

Oral hygiene is important, but

MYTH:

Dental problems caused by gum disease and tooth loss resolve themselves quickly.

Traditional Remedies

FACT:

Most dental problems do not “self-resolve”

MYTH:

Dentures are the only option for those dealing with tooth loss.

FACT:

Dental implants look and feel

Historically, alternatives to failing teeth often involved a lifetime of glues, creams and adhesives and often were accompanied by discomfort and changes in appearance – meaning the options for treating missing or failing teeth could do little to alleviate the physical and emotional discomfort of tooth loss.

Dental Implants

Dental Implants are now considered a “Standard of Care” when replacing missing teeth and are often a better treatment option than conventional dental crowns, bridges, partial and full dentures. Dental Implants have been proven to be a more successful long term option when compared to these more traditional approaches.

The appeal of dental implants is very simple: implants look and perform like natural teeth and fit precisely without the need for adhesives. They are permanent and cared for just like natural teeth and restore one’s natural smile.

ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers

Before ClearChoice, getting implants could take over a year and involve endless visits to multiple providers. Our state-of-the-art facilities bring everything together under one roof. The doctors, technicians and cutting edge technology needed for a fast, convenient result can all be found in one place. That is how ClearChoice can deliver beautiful smiles in just one day.*

genetics and age are significant drivers of tooth loss.

ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers provide comprehensive implant treatment professionally and affordably. That’s why an independent survey of thousands of patients showed they would overwhelmingly recommend ClearChoice to others†.

At ClearChoice, we work to ensure that no one leaves until they are happy with their smile.

So Did She or Didn’t She?

Almost anyone that has lost multiple teeth or even a single tooth is a strong candidate for dental implants. So next time you see someone over 50 with a beautiful, radiant smile ask yourself … is she lucky or did she make the ClearChoice?

Man leads Kent officers on high-speed car chase Police

By Steve Hunter shunter@kentreporter.com

Kent Police arrested a man for investigation of attempting to elude and drunk driving after he led officers on a two-mile, high-speed chase that lasted about three minutes.

The incident started at about 3:50 a.m. Aug. 12 when officers responded to a report of a suspicious subject in the 10000 block of Southeast 202nd Street, according to the police report.

A man called 911 to report a man prowling a neighbor’s house before leaving in a vehicle. An officer spotted a vehicle that seemed to match the suspect vehicle near the Benson Highway and Southeast 204th Street. The officer activated his overhead lights in an effort to stop the Chevy Tahoe.

But as the Tahoe driver approached a stop sign, he blew

through the stop, made a u-turn and sped westbound on Southeast 204th Street going about 60 mph through a residential area and headed northbound on 104th Avenue Southeast with the officer in pursuit.

The Tahoe went westbound on Southeast 200th Street and then south on 95th Place South. An officer tried a pursuit intervention technique (PIT) by ramming his car into the Tahoe, but the maneuver failed.

A second officer also in pursuit then took the lead chase position and stopped the Tahoe with a PIT westbound on South 208th Street near the Highway 167 overpass.

The Tahoe flipped on its passenger side.

Both officers charged out of their cars with their guns out and aimed at the driver. The driver, who was

alone in the car, remained seat belted. Officers ordered him out of the vehicle.

“I’m done, I’m ready to go to jail,” the man replied.

Paramedics cleared the man to go to jail as he had only minor scratches from the accident.

Officers discovered through record checks that the man had a state Department of Corrections warrant for escape and a Seattle warrant for possession of a firearm.

Police did not find any connection with the man as a suspicious subject from the initial 911 call.

Nobody had broken into the home the neighbor called about.

BLOTTER

Malicious mischief

Officers arrested a man for investigation of third-degree ma-

licious mischief after he reportedly broke an antique mirror and flower vases during a dispute with his girlfriend.

A woman called 911 to report her boyfriend had a knife at about 12:42 a.m. Aug. 11 at a home in the 10800 block of Southeast 235th Street, according to the police report.

The woman told police she had an argument with her boyfriend and he told her to get out of the house. But she responded that she wasn’t leaving because she paid most of the bills.

The boyfriend reportedly grabbed a serrated kitchen knife and pointed it at the woman, but he threw it in a sink after she asked him if he was going to hurt her. The man then allegedly picked up three flower vases and threw them at the large mirror, which was shattered. The woman said the mirror was 100 years old

and worth nearly $5,000.

The man told police the argument was about past relationships.

He denied breaking the mirror or throwing the vases.

Drugs

Police cited and released a man for investigation of possession of marijuana after he reportedly had a plastic baggie of marijuana in his pants pocket that officers found after a response to a suspicious vehicle call.

Officers responded at about 8:10 p.m. Aug. 14 to the 26900 block of 138th Avenue Southeast to investigate a suspicious vehicle circling the neighborhood, according to the police report.

Officers saw three men standing outside a car that matched the vehicle description. The men said they were there to use the basketball courts, but they did not have a basketball.

Mountain biker on fast track to World Championships Kevin Littlefield earns berth on Team USA

By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Kevin Littlefield is in it for the rush.

As far back as he can recall, the 17-year-old Auburn resident and Kent School District online student has craved speed, danger and pushing himself to the limit.

“I’ve always been into the more extreme sports, like skateboarding and biking, so it was pretty natural for me to get on a mountain bike,” he said.

Despite having taken up the sport of downhill mountain biking just three years ago, Littlefield already finds himself at the pinnacle of the sport internationally.

In July he rode his way to a fifth-place finish at the USA Cycling National Championships in Beech Mountain, N.C., earning a spot on Team USA and a berth at the 2012 Union Cycliste Internationale Downhill Mountain Bike World Championships, which begin Aug. 29 in Leogang, Austria.

“I’m super honored, it’s been one of my dreams to go to the World Championships,” he said.

Littlefield got his start on a mountain bike at age 11.

“I always rode dirt bikes, and when I was about 11 I got into mountain bikes and at 14 started racing,” he said.

“A friend of mine had a mountain bike and I hung out with him and started riding. Then I got one of for Christmas.”

It wasn’t long before

Kevin Littlefield will compete in the 2012 Union Cycliste Internationale Downhill Mountain Bike World Championships, which begin Aug. 29 in Leogang, Austria. Shawn Skager, Auburn Reporter he discovered he had a knack for speeding down rocky trails on two wheels, in excess of 40 miles per hour.

“It’s pretty much exactly like downhill skiing,” Littlefield said. “You start in a box, and once you break the barrier the time starts. And there is a laser at the end of the course. When you cross it, the time stops. It’s straight against the clock, you’re by yourself and it’s all downhill.”

After his sophomore year at Auburn High School, he enrolled in the Kent School District’s online school to free up time to concentrate on his biking career.

The move paid off immediately, he said.

“I moved up to the junior category and I started doing better, started training and taking it serious,” he said.

“Now I work out twice a week in Issaquah and ride every day. That’s pretty much my training regimen. I ride anywhere there are trails, and it’s downhill.”

Soon his skill on the bike caught the attention of Seattle bike builders Evil Bikes and Big Tree Bikes. Today they sponsor Littlefield, helping defray the cost of everything from his bike and components to his riding gear.

The document known as “power of attorney” provides a person of your choosing the power to represent you and act on your behalf, which is necessary when a third party is asked to rely on that authority.

For instance, a financial power of attorney might be needed any time you want someone else to conduct business for you. This may be required when you need to conduct business long-distance, or you want your spouse or other family member to conduct business in your behalf if you were to become physically or mentally unable to act on your own. The person whom you choose as an agent for your power of attorney should be someone you can totally trust.

Do you have any questions about the different sorts of powers of attorney? Perhaps you have other questions about estate planning. If so, please call my office right away. I have years of experience dealing with all aspects of estate planning and I can help you ensure that your wishes are carried out, no matter what.

there and build my bike with everything at retail, it would be about $7,000,” Littlefield said. “It definitely isn’t cheap.”

Although he hasn’t had to pay for the hardware he needs to race for a couple years, Littlefield admits that he’s had to pay in injuries, all part of the sport.

“I’ve had three concussions, broken my leg twice, blown out shoulders and had many cuts,” Littlefield said. “One time I came in and my front wheel hit a rock and washed out. I hit my head and got a concussion and then flipped over, and as I was rolling over, planted my foot. It over-rotated

and popped the end off the fibula. That was the worst one.”

But, he insists, it’s all part of the sport.

“It’s inevitable you’re going to crash,” he said.

“You just look past it and keep looking forward.”

And looking forward, Littlefield said, he hopes his moment on the big stage at the World Championships garners him some attention, and hopefully some more sponsors.

“I’d love to be a world champ, that would be awesome,” he said. “I just want to raise the bar and just go faster. I’m still doing yard work (to raise money for racing), so hopefully next year I’ll be able to get funded to go to more World Cups and have a whole season.

Maybe the National team next year and more racing in Europe.”

Regardless of how he does competing, Littlefield said it’s really just about enjoying the rush and feeding his need for speed.

“I just love racing and love riding,” he said.

“Just getting better and progressing is what I like.

Going out to a new trail that you’ve ridden a lot and finding new lines is kind of what gets me. I’m going to take this as far as I can, and if it’s meant to be it’s meant to be. I don’t want to fail because I didn’t try hard enough or didn’t train hard enough or put enough into it. I want it to be that I couldn’t have done any better.”

Taylor Said beats Winning Machine in Longacres Mile Taylor Said and jockey Mario Gutierrez held off Winning Machine and Javier Matias in a furious finish Sunday to capture the 77th running of the $200,000 Longacres Mile (Grade 3) by a head before a packed house at Emerald Downs.

Perfectly ridden from the No. 9 post-position, Taylor Said ran one mile in 1:33.77 and paid $7.20, $4.60 and $3.20. Michael Puhich is the trainer for owner Glen Todd of Surrey, British Columbia.

A $9,000 yearling purchase, Taylor Said has won six straight and is 7-2-0 in 10 career starts with earnings of $277,971. Sunday’s victory was worth $110,000, and considerably more in prestige for Todd, who led a caravan of some 16 buses down from Canada for The Mile.

“This is the biggest race in the Pacific Northwest,” Todd said. “I’ve run thousands of horses, but this is my first Mile. It’s an unbelievable feeling.”

Taylor Said, left, edged out Winning Machine, right, and last year’s winner Awesome Gem, middle, to win the 77th Longacres Mile last Sunday at Emerald Downs. Rachel Ciampi, Auburn Reporter Winning Machine, ridden

by Matias at 119 pounds, held on gamely after leading to the head of the stretch, and was coming back at Taylor Said at the finish. Winning Machine paid $8 and $4.40.

Defending Longacres Mile champion Awesome Gem, ridden by David Flores at 123 pounds, finished third as the 2-to-1 betting favorite, 1½ lengths

back of Winning Machine, and paid $3.20 for show.

Thoroughbred racing’s leading active earner with $2,881,370, Awesome Gem encountered traffic problems into the last turn, but finished with a strong rally and now has finished first, second and third in three Longacres Mile appearances.

St Liams Halo, also owned by Todd, finished

Thunderbirds begin training

fourth, and was followed by Bailouttheminister, Jump Up and Kissme, Gallant Son, Jebrica, Hudson Landing and Assessment.

Gutierrez soared to national prominence this spring with picture-perfect rides to win the Kentucky Derby, Santa Anita Derby and Preakness Stakes aboard I’ll Have Another.

“He was really sharp today,” Gutierrez said of Taylor Said. “He was pulling pretty hard. I didn’t want to choke the race out of him, so I let him go a little wide into the first turn. I was surprised to see so many horses going for the lead. The pace felt pretty fast, but I know this track pretty well. If this was my first time riding at Emerald Downs, I might have started panicking, but I know good horses can carry their speed on this track.
