Leaders to join Kent Pride rally

BY MARK KLAAS mklaas@kentreporter.com

It’s a show of color and an opportunity for the gay and lesbian community.

The downtown area comes to life Sunday with the inaugural Kent Pride 2012 – a rally for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) communities in South King County.

Civic, state and local leaders are supporting the event. The Kent Downtown Partnership and the Long Dog Tavern have endorsed the rally.

The event, an effort coordinated by Kent residents and domestic partners Bill Walters and Wade Schwartz, is designed to raise awareness and support

Visually impaired students of the Washington State School for the Blind got a special introduction to Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey’s new circus Barnum Bash last Friday at the ShoWare Center.

The 12 students got to participate in a “Blind Touch Tour� where they were given special access to performers, props, costumes and animals.

In this “hands-on� sensory tour, the students got to touch the ring, feathers and jewels of costumes, a lira hoop, Squeeze the Carpet Python and Duchess the Asian elephant and other items that define a circus. “I thought it was a great opportunity for my daughter to be able to experience an elephant,� said Karry Trout, of Olympia. “We read about it in stories, but it’s something she really

doesn’t have a concept of unless she’s hands on.�

Ella Trout was not shy at all about getting to know Duchess, the elephant.

Once unencumbered by her walker, Ella latched onto one of Duchess’ legs for a stolen hug. “She was touching the trunk and it squeezed her finger and she thought that was pretty great,� said Karry Trout.

This is the first time that the circus has put on a “Blind Touch Tour� in the area. “I’ve been working on behalf of the circus for five years and I’ve been wanting to do one ever since I saw video of one years ago,� said Julie Furlong, communications consultant.

Ringling Bros. does some sort of benevolence event in the cities that they perform in typically. “Kent is the perfect venue for this; it’s small, it’s intimate and it’s very accessible,� Furlong said.

According to the principal, the school plans to develop a program called “Ankerfelt Spirit,” where students exemplifying Ankerfelt’s approach to life are celebrated with an “A” award.

PUBLIC HEARING SET ON COTTAGE HOUSING A proposal to build 30 cottage housing units in Kent will be the subject of a public hearing at 10 a.m.

Wednesday, Sept. 12.

The public hearing will be in front of the city hearing examiner at Council Chambers at City Hall, 220 Fourth Ave. S. Developer W.E. Ruth Real Estate Inc., of Renton, wants to construct the city’s first cottage housing development on 4 acres on the East Hill. The property is on the northwest corner of Southeast 240th Street and 116th Avenue Southeast.

Cottage-style housing developments feature small, detached single-family homes clustered around a common open space with garages and parking located away from the homes.

The man who hit Ankerfelt, Samuel Cruz, had the charges against him amended Aug. 27 from vehicular assault to vehicular homicide, with bail now set at $250,000.

Cruz pleaded not guilty to the state’s charge that he was driving under the influence of drugs. He appears again in court for a case-setting hearing on Sept. 11.

Kent teen pleads not guilty to rapes

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

A 16-year-old Kent boy pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree rape and two-counts of firstdegree kidnapping with sexual motivation.

Chrisean Cressel entered his plea Aug. 30 at King County Superior Court in Kent, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.

The charges are in connection with attacks on a 17-year-old girl and a 19-year-old woman on separate nights in October on the East Hill along Kent-Kangley Road.

Cressel is in custody at the county jail at the

Helicopters from the King County Sheriff ’s Office, Snohomish Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office, U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Navy participated in last week’s regional training. Nine rescue scenarios took place simultaneously along the Green River on Aug. 29, utilizing aircraft and technical rescue teams in a coordinated effort to safely and efficiently perform search and rescue in a large scale disaster scenario.

Locations from Kent to Flaming Geyser State Park were designated for rescue scenarios. Aircraft and rescue teams staged at the Pea Patch in Kent and the Auburn Air Academy. RACHEL CIAMPI, The Reporter

Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent with bail set at $1 million.

He is scheduled to return to court Sept. 27 when a trial date could be set or attorneys could ask for more time to prepare the case.

A judge ruled Aug. 20 that Cressel should be tried as an adult. Because Cressel was 15 when the alleged rapes occurred, the Juvenile Court first handled the charges.

Judge Barbara Mack ordered adult prosecution for the boy and declined the case, sending it to King County Superior Court.

Prosecutors asked the judge to try the teen as an adult.

Ex-businessman Owen pleads guilty to theft Former Kent businessman Mark Lee Owen pleaded guilty in Olympia to first-degree theft and forgery for receiving about $19,000 from the state for a job injury claim even though he had returned to work.

A Thurston County Superior Court judge sentenced Owen, the son of state Lt. Gov. Brad Owen, on Aug. 29 to four months in jail, according to an email from Janelle Guthrie, spokeswoman for the state Attorney General’s Office, which charged Owen in March.

Owen, 39, will serve two days in jail

and be on electronic home monitoring. He also must pay $17,919 in restitution and $800 in costs.

Owen filed an industrial injury claim Nov. 9, 2009 with the state Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) after being shot in the arm at work at Kent Body, Paint and Fabrication by Carlos Fernandez.

OPTIMIZED QUERCETIN

Many of our most powerful medicines, including those for diabetes, chemotherapy, and cardiovascular health, are derived from plant extracts. One reason that plants hold so much potential for human health is due to their unique ability to manufacture complex molecules called flavonoids.

One flavonoid in particular, quercetin, is found in a broad range of foods, from grape skins and red onions to green tea and tomatoes.

Quercetin accomplishes its life-extending, anti-aging benefits through a multitude of mechanisms of action: Scientists are now finding, however, that quercetin has a host of remarkable characteristics that go well beyond the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory that we’ve come to recognize as typical of phytomolecules in general. Here’s a partial list of known life-extending, anti-aging mechanisms of action attributed to quercetin: t "OUJPYJEBOU GSFF SBEJDBM TDBWFOHFS t "OUJ JOÏ BNNBUPSZ FTQFDJBMMZ JO GBU tissue t 1SFWFOUT %/" EBNBHF t 3FHVMBUFT HFOF FYQSFTTJPO JO GBWPS PG youthful characteristics1 t 4VQQPSUT OBUVSBM TUSFTT SFTQPOTFT t *ODSFBTFT QSPUFBTPNF BDUJWBUJPO hastening disposal of damaged and aging proteins

Higgins said he will rely on city staff to determine what can be done to improve traffic safety along the street. “I want to know about the history and hear about the options from staff and then we’ll take it from there,� Higgins said.

City Engineer Chad Bieren said in an email to the Kent Reporter that the Public Works Department was contacted by a Panther Lake resident two years ago about the vehicle speeds along Southeast 223rd Drive.

In response, city traffic officials measured speeds and traffic volumes along the street. “The data showed that 85 percent of the traffic on this roadway travels approximately 33 mph or less,� Bieren said. “Since the posted speed limit is 25 mph, the police department sent officers to provide traffic enforcement in the area. They have continued to provide periodic speed enforcement to help keep speeds down.�

Neighbors haven’t seen cars going any slower. “The situation is bad,�

road.�

Bieren said the accident history (seven in two years), speed study and enforcement efforts did not indicate the need for traffic calming measures such as speed bumps. “East of this area, near 132nd Avenue Southeast, we have a speed issue that will be helped with speed bumps or traffic circles,�

Bieren said. “We are working with the neighborhood to install one of these traffic calming features.�

At this time, Bieren doesn’t expect the city to install speed bumps near the home of the Richners. “We will continue to look at the section between 116th and 124th to see if there is something else that should be done,� he said.

Matt Richner said he would gladly accept a speed bump in front of his house and even help pay for it. “We’ll happily pitch in whatever we can for a speed bump,� he said. “People say don’t want it in front of their house. I’ll put it in front of my house. I’d rather not see what we saw and for the community to lose another valuable community member just because of the fact that maybe we don’t meet the data they ask for. “It needs to be solved. It’s a problem.�

Smith, who has children ages 7 and 3, would like to see speed bumps installed by the city. “I’m hoping they will.�

Smith said. “When we were (unincorporated) King County I don’t think there was any chance we could get something to happen on this road. As much as we’ve been bothering the city of Kent lately, I’m hoping we’ll get the response we need.

We need it immediately. It’s really dangerous out here.�

One of the cornerstones of maintaining optimum health is endurance, which should be built gradually. If you have been relatively inactive for a long time, it is important to start slowly and work your way up. Perhaps the simplest and best endurance exercise is walking. Begin with ten minutes of walking daily, and try to build to at least 150 minutes (2.5 hours) of walking or other moderate exercise per week. Try to set a goal of being active at least three days per week. When it comes time to increase your activity, gradually increase your time to 30 minutes daily over several days or weeks by walking longer distances. In time, test your ability to walk faster or uphill.

At PARKSIDE RETIREMENT COMMUNITY, our experienced and caring staff understands how important it is for seniors to stay engaged and active. We offer a number of game and activity options that help our senior residents stay sharp. To learn more about what we offer our seniors, reach us today at (253) 939-1332. Come and meet with us. You arc invited to tour our unique senior community, conveniently located at 2902 I Street, N.E. We have been serving seniors since 1972. We will exceed your expectations!

P.S. Endurance training leads to another cornerstone of health – strength.

18, struck and killed motorcyclist David Daniel, 55, on Aug. 22 near the Richner’s on the East Hill, the couple decided to increase their efforts to get the city to install a speed bump or other device to slow traffic down.

Cordova reportedly had a blood-alcohol level of 0.12 percent and traveled at an estimated 65 mph in the 25 mph zone just prior to the accident. Cordova has been charged with vehicular homicide. “We know the guy was (allegedly) drunk and there are drunk drivers all over, but that speed is not something we see only once in a while – it’s all the time,� said Allison Richner. “What’s frustrating is how many more accidents and potential deaths do there need to be before they do something because a stop sign, a speed bump or roundabout seems like a simple thing.�

The Richners plan to present a petition to the City Council’s Public Works Committee meeting on Sept. 17 to ask for action to improve traffic safety along the street between 116th Avenue Southeast and 132nd Avenue Southeast. “It feels like we live on a freeway pretty much,� said Jenny Smith, who lives just down the street from Matt

and Allison. “Most people that come through this neighborhood with a few exceptions are going 15 to 20 mph over the speed limit and it makes this street very dangerous.�

Smith said she has seen an average of at least one accident every year in her nine years in the neighborhood. “I really fear for all the children that live on this road,� said Smith, who saw a vehicle smash into two cars in her driveway. “Children ride their bikes and skateboards. It’s not a safe place for a family.�

Matt Richner said he contacted city officials about the speeding traffic along the street shortly after the Panther Lake area annexed into the city in July 2010. He said the city responded initially with brochures and information about what type of devices, such as speed bumps, could be installed to help slow traffic. “People use it as a cut through,� Richner said. “They are young children riding bikes on the street. I don’t how many times we’ve seen kids almost get hit and heard tires squealing.�

Richner said after the initial contacts the neighborhood never heard anything more from the city about slowing traffic until Council President Dennis Higgins responded to an email from Richner after the death of Daniel to come visit the neighborhood. Higgins walked to the accident scene, talked with neighbors and told them they could voice their concerns at the Public Works Committee meeting that he serves on along with council members Elizabeth Albertson and Dana Ralph. “When I went to drive to their (the Richners) home

and abused because of his sexuality. He overcame it, and now wants to help others rise above the challenges and misunderstanding of living a gay or lesbian lifestyle.

For Walters and Schwartz, it is time to recognize and protect the lives of same-sex couples.

The initiative is a big step, they say, allowing same-sex couples to have the same basic legal rights that everybody is afforded. “There is no difference whether you’re a same-sex couple or an opposite-sex couple. You should have the same rights ‌ to hospital visitations, to benefits, to joint tax returns,â€? Walters said. “There are so many things that go into being able to marry the person you love.â€?

While it might be difficult to gauge how many people will attend Sunday’s rally, the event has received a good, initial response, Walters said. “We’ve been getting a wonderful response from a lot of people,� he said.

“People are surprised and shocked that the city Kent is actually having a gay pride event. Period. The comments? ‘Kent, wow, you’re finally getting up there’ or ‘it’s about time’ or ‘I never knew,’ that type of thing.�

Kent has been a generous community for Walters and Schwartz, who have worked successfully to raise support and donations for nonprofit organizations.

They intend to build a nonprofit effort of their own in the spirit of this weekend’s rally and in the hope of staging similar events in the future.

Schwartz would like to hold a Kent Pride rally each year. “I’m not going to let it go,� he said. “It (support) may go up, may go down, but it’s always going to be here.�

Charter schools measure creates problems This Charter School Initiative 1240 appears to be written by liberal politicians with wealthy supporters who wish to take my hard earned tax money earmarked for public education and use it any which way they please with no control by local voters.

Do not buy the claim that “the state money will follow the students at no consequence to the local schools.” Excuse me, but when students leave one school that fixed cost school facility (maintenance, heating, playgrounds, janitorial services, etc.) will lose students, creating empty classrooms and cost more per student to operate if it is not shut down.

A Charter School Commission by law would be appointed by the governor and loaded with those parents who

GUEST EDITORIAL

It’s time to mend our country’s divisive ways I was on Facebook recently and was looking at what my cousins were up to. I have too many to list and too many to remember.

I love each of them dearly, and respect their opinions.

Since the presidential election is upon us, I’ve been disheartened to

see that a great deal of my kin is going to vote for Mitt Romney.

This doesn’t bother me that much. I would prefer they side with me, but everybody is entitled to their opinion and I can respect that. What bothers me the most is some of my family and friends posting some

MY TURN

“Do you support same-sex marriage?”

Todd Nuttman

?

Question of the week:

I recently used an analogy with a group.

It is a little silly, but it fits.

I told them a truck from a Kent business ran into City Hall. It did $500,000 worth of damage. The business did not have the money or didn’t want to pay for it. The city didn’t have the money to pay for it. So council members asked me to ask the group if they would go back to their neighborhoods and ask their neighbors to pay for it.

I think there was actually a shriek.

This is what Kent’s Proposition 1 (on the Nov. 6 general Election ballot) is asking you to do if there is not a business and occupation (B&O) tax in place.

Most of the damage to our roads is not done by you. It is done by commercial traffic. Be careful how you phrase the question if you ask if this is true. When I did, I was quoted with a number of trips, not damage done.

Businesses do enjoy concerts in the park for lunch, and parks bring in customers to their stores, yet we are being asked to carry the entire burden for maintaining these assets. It is a little like paying for damage the truck did to City Hall.

The proponents of Prop 1 will tell you that two citizens committees were formed to look at this issue. They came back and asked the council to float a levy. This is half-true.

Who brought forward the levy and what exactly did they ask for?

The first committee looked at parks. I was on it, and we asked the council to move a levy forward alongside a B&O because we felt that the economy already had burdened residents. They could only shoulder so much. We weren’t any more excited about paying taxes, as you probably are, but we were willing to meet business part way.

We also felt business should step up to pay for the roads its traffic was impacting.

What was the second committee? What

of the most hateful, ridiculous and libelous crap ever posted against another political party or person.

They post pictures of President Obama and the First Lady with their hands in the wrong place during the national anthem. They post garbage from some Internet blog that the president is about to take their guns away.

My other friends are guilty as

be affected. I am for publicly controlled alternative schools like Federal Way Public Academy, where curriculum and teachers are regulated by my elected school board members.

That is the kind of innovation we need in Washington schools.

Support city streets, parks, vote yes on measure The city of Kent continues to adjust to a new economic reality, where rising costs continue along with declining revenues.

well. Posting rants about how bad Mitt Romney will be for the country. Posting half-truths about his taxes – or lack thereof.

We continue to regurgitate this verbal and written vomit, and I don’t know why. Why would you just reprint accusations that you’re not sure are true? Are we that stupid as a nation to believe that just because someone took the time to sit at a computer and post it as fact that we should believe it’s the gospel according to an offensive website?

[ NUTTMAN from page 6 ] I love good debates about politics. My dad hated them.

He believed there were certain things you didn’t talk about.

Sex, religion and politics. Well, I always believed that if you keep kicking stuff under the rug, pretty soon all you are left with is a lumpy rug.

I’m willing to discuss politics and ask questions. I want to know why Republicans want the government to stay out of their lives with the exception of abortions.

I want to know why Democrats have such a concern regarding drug testing for welfare recipients. Why Republicans want to build a big wall around this country and take those cushy farm jobs away from others, and why Democrats seem to act like chickens with their heads cut ing will funded and built.

If facilities are allowed to deteriorate, they will have to be closed or built later at a much higher cost.

Even with the proposed increase of 37 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation, Kent’s property taxes would still be less than comparable cities like Renton and Auburn. The business community would be paying a higher portion of these property taxes because their portion of the

I want to talk about these things and ask questions. Find out why we can’t start acting like grownups and compromise. Instead of like 6 yearolds who say, “He hit me first.”

We need to start reaching out to the other side of the aisle and find a way to work together.

The Republicans’ slogan for this years’ convention was “We Built That.” The Democrats’ slogan is “Americans Coming Together” I’ve got our new slogan if we can’t fix this problem of non-partisanship.

Pretty soon the whole country’s slogan will be “We Destroyed That.”

assessed valuation would be larger than the total residential portion.

Previous generations of Kent citizens built the streets and parks we all enjoy today. Preserving these services is essential to the future of our city.

www.kentreporter.com [ MCDOWELL from page 6 ] was the committee that decided you should foot the entire bill? Well, there are two answers to that. The first is that most of the people who spoke for the second committee were Kent Chamber of Commerce board members, and the second is that it was the chamber that asked.

Andrea Keikkala, executive director for the chamber, wrote in a letter to chamber members: “Also, as requested by the Kent Chamber, a levy lid lift of $.37/1,000 assessed valuation will be put on the ballot this November. This resolution passed the City of Kent council on a 4 to 3 vote.� So who did the asking, citizens or the chamber?

Even I’m a little confused.

The ordinance to send a levy to us, the voters, did pass the council 4 to 3 with council members Jamie Perry, Elizabeth Albertson and Les Thomas dissenting.

It was quick, like pulling off a Band-Aid. An ordinance was brought forward to do a B&O on manufacturing only, but was not passed, and it wouldn’t have been enough to help anyway.

One way or the other, Prop 1 will barely scrape the surface of what needs to be done. The levy will run for six years. During that time, the few assets that receive attention will be in disrepair again and need to be fixed again. You will be asked to step to the plate again.

What will become of the rest of the roads that need attention as well as the rest of the parks assets? Without a B&O you will be asked to reach deeper into your pocket.

What other answer is there? As one person at a recent meeting asked, “Why are we always reactive instead of proactive?�

Is a B&O a perfect tax? No. I pay a B&O in other cities.

The state only gives us certain ways of taxing business.

It is a portion of gross sales.

It would be a more fair tax if it were a portion of profits instead. But then I’d like my levy based on what I have left in my pockets at the end of each year.

Though my husband and I are anticipating a move at some point, I love my city and I love my neighbors.

I want my neighbors to have a partner in carrying the burden so they can remain in their homes. I want my city to have a sustainable form of revenue so they can care for our assets and so they don’t have to keep going back to my neighbors. I want them to be able to budget for the long run.

I urge you to join me in voting no on Prop 1 unless there is a B&O in place at the time of the vote.

Michelle McDowell is a longtime Kent resident, mother and grandmother.

City officials sent out a media release Thursday that it wants community input for the development of what’s called the Downtown Subarea Action Plan (DSAP).

Residents can take the survey at VentureDowntownKent.com.

With so many changes in the past seven years, city planner Gloria Gould-

Wessen said new ideas are needed. “What was once an adhesives manufacturing plant, Kent Station is now a onestop location for shopping and dining,� Gould-Wessen said. “ShoWare Center has brought sports and entertainment to our community, and we have a historic core in downtown that adds interest and charm. “And coming next year, City Center, a mixed-use apartment building with retail on the lower level will finally bring downtown living to Kent. These were just a few of the many actions recommended in the 2005 DSAP, and with all the progress we’ve seen, it needs to be refreshed.�

Seattle developer Goodman Real Estate Inc., plans

to start construction next year on a five-story, mixeduse development to include approximately 164 apartments and 3,700-square feet of retail space, at the corner of West Smith Street and Fourth Avenue.

In this article, we use the terms “parent� and “caregiver� somewhat interchangeably, since many families also include single parents, step-parents, grandparents, friends and daycare as part of their childcare network.

Many parents and caregivers of small children are just happy to make it to the end of the day, after all the decisions, occasional tantrums, happy victories and skinned knees have gone by in a blur. The entire day can pass, seemingly without rhyme, reason or order.

It could be surprising to know that researchers say most parenting activities fall into just a handful of recognizable categories, and that based on these factors, people

lawn. You must improve your soil if you want a lawn that will stay green all summer and grow thick enough to crowd out the weeds and moss. Aerate, fertilize, lime, then add topsoil on top of the old lawn to level it out.

Finally, after all this work you can reseed with a blend of improved, patented grass seed varieties especially chosen for our climate.

Look for grass seed that says “Northwest blend� and avoid the less expensive grass seeds labeled “play ground mix.“ If all this sounds like too much work, you can hire a professional to aerate and top-dress your lawn with new soil. Then spread the fertilizer and lawn seed yourself right on top of the new soil. Your old lawn will push up through the new soil to help protect the seeds and you’ll have whole new lawn by spring.

Moles, voles and mice are best controlled with traps.

deceit and misinformation.

Most spiders in our area are harmless and actually good for the garden. You are seeing a lot of spiders and webs this month because it is nearing autumn. The best way to handle them building webs outside your house and on the porch is with a broom. Poke the broom into the web so that the spider grabs hold along with the webbing.

Then brush him off onto the grass or garden. If you use a broom you won’t need to worry about pesticide residue, allergy to the chemicals used in pesticides and destroying the natural balance of insects on your property.

Q. I have a really cool plant with strappy leaves and a narrow, bottle shaped bloom made from many tiny flowers. I have emailed you a photo. What is this weird plant and will it come back next year? J. Email A. Congratulations – you are the owner of a Eucomis or Pineapple lily. This halfhearty bulb from South

America looks like the top of a pineapple in bloom but is not related to the fruit. The bulb will flower each August and the bloom will last for months – even as a cut flower. It needs well drained soil to survive our wet winters and a mulch or one inch layer of bark chips on top of the soil to protect it from the cold. You can also grow Eucomis bulbs in pots. September is a good month to plant these bulbs in your garden for blooms next year or you can save and plant the bulbs in the spring. Look for the bulbs or plants in bloom now at local nurseries and garden centers. Five years ago when I planted my first Eucomis they were considered rare and unusual - but now I see them for sale at many local nurseries. I am happy to say my own Eucomis are still alive and blooming after five cold winters in Enumclaw.

Kentwood clobbers Auburn 31-7 in opener REPORTER STAFF

COURT HEARING CONTINUED FOR FORMER K-M TRACK COACH A court hearing was continued to Sept. 20 for a former Kent-Meridian High School teacher and track coach charged with communication with a minor for immoral purposes.

Ernie Ammons, 37, of Black Diamond, was scheduled for a hearing Aug. 23 at King County Superior Court in Kent but that date has been continued to Sept. 20, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.

A trial date can be set at hearings or attorneys from either side can ask for more time to prepare the case. Ammons pleaded not guilty to the charge on Dec. 22 and is free on bail.

King County prosecutors charge Ammons sent sexually explicit test messages to a 16-year-old girl at the school.

Ammons taught health and physical education at KentMeridian. He also coached boys and girls track and cross country at the school.

The Kent School District placed Ammons on paid administrative leave Nov. 8 when the allegations first came to the district’s attention.

Ammons resigned from the district in January.

The Kentwood Conquerors delivered a 31-7 defeat to the Auburn Trojans in a South Puget Sound League North 4A football opener last Friday at Auburn Memorial Stadium.

The Conks shot out to a quick lead in the first quarter, finding the end zone three times in the period to put the score at 21-0.

By the half, Kentwood was up 28-0.

On Kentwood’s first play from scrimmage in the game, Conks senior quarterback Dane Manio connected with senior Terrance Grady for a 39-yard touchdown.

Kentwood added touchdowns on a 8-yard Dom Lindstrom run and a 1-yard quarterback keeper by Manio in the quarter.

In the second quarter, senior Jackson Huerta caught a 23-yard pass from Kyle Kirkham.

The Conks scored once more, on a Mitchell Cox field goal in the fourth quarter.

The Trojans’ lone score came on quarterback Brier Atkinson’s 1-yard keeper with 3:17 left on the clock.

Atkinson finished the game

with 7-of-15 passing for 58 yards.

Manio finished with 8 of 12 passing for 92 yards and two interceptions. He also had 14 carries for 67 yards.

Damon Funk scored a pair of touchdowns in the second quarter for Tahoma.

Wide receiver Kevin Clark added a third score for the Bears in the period when he hauled in a Nelson pass which bounced out of the hands of a K-M defender.

Clark then grabbed the ball and scooted down the sideline 45 yards for the score.

[ RUTH from page 1 ] Friends and family recently gathered at Kent Commons to hear Ruth’s story, a program presented by the Greater Kent Historical Society.

Ruth, who grew up Kent, dominated Northwest drag strips and ultimately tamed national ones to become a world champion. He beat the best to become one of the best in his day – a time when Top Fuel dragsters and Funny Cars were

just beginning to evolve and accelerate down the quarter-mile track at topend speeds of 220 mph or better. “I was a great part of it," Ruth said of his contributions as a fabricator and pilot during the hot rod golden age of the 1960s and ’70s. “I was only a part of it.�

Ruth gained fame before the sport turned the corporate corner.

A fierce competitor and meticulous mechanic who designed, built and tuned

his own race cars, Ruth was a brash challenger.

Seldom boring, he was a swaggering showman, a promoter’s dream, a driver who hated to lose.

Either you accepted him for what he was – an intense, gifted and smart driver, adaptable to any track – or you didn’t. He wasn’t afraid to speak his mind, back up his boast and beat all challengers.

These days Ruth has mellowed, his life drawn [ more RUTH page 15 ]

www.kentreporter.com [ RUTH from page 14 ] to introspection. He willingly shares the many memories and joys of a sport he lived to the fullest. He is a walking racing museum.

“He was fearless,” said Mike Barnett, who grew up with Ruth and joined his buddy when they enlisted in the Marines. “We used to race each up the (East) Hill, see who would get to the (high school) parking lot first.”

Ruth has never forgotten his roots.

“I have friends all over the country but my dearest friends are here,” he told the audience last week.

The Ruth family became well known as they successfully campaigned their cars wherever they went – Kent’s Pacific Raceways, Puyallup and Arlington, even the tracks sprinkled throughout the western provinces of Canada.

Ruth began his racing career at a young age, racing various gas coupes and sedans along with his late brother, John, in the late 1950s and early ‘60s.

Ruth built a number of cars, amassing wins and track records while capturing the NHRA Division 6 title in five of the six years from 1964-69. “The King” went on to win eight divi-

sional Top Fuel titles, including seven straight from 1968-74, and two divisional Funny Car titles.

As wins and track records mounted, Ruth looked to market his efforts. Needing sponsors, he needed a name. “The King” naturally came to him.

“I had a name … and I had to sell it,” he said.

In 1971, Ruth doubled up. He made room for a state-of-the-art Don Long Mustang Funny Car in his garage. It recorded a best lap of 6.43, equaling the quickest TF run in history at that time.

Did the double Ruth also became the first driver to win Top Fuel and Funny Car finals at the same pro event, a feat he would turn three more times.

By 1972, Ruth had sold the car and made the switch to a Keith Black aluminum 426 hemi, rear-engine dragster.

Ruth gained prominence when he defeated two-time U.S. Nationals champion Gary Beck in the 1973 NHRA World Finals at Amarillo (Texas) Dragway.

Ruth and his Top Fuel dragster burned up the strip with a 6.11-second run at 232.55 mph in high altitude for his first-ever national event win.

One of his Ruth’s finest races came in 1977, when he took down “Big Daddy” Don Garlits in the Winternationals Top Fuel final at storied Pomona (Calif.)

Raceway on ABC-TV. Ruth survived his share of violent accidents. He broke an arm. He severed a fingertip.

By the time Ruth retired in the mid-‘80s, he had reached speeds of 260 mph.

Having accomplished what he had set out to do as a driver, Ruth turned his attention to helping others from afar. He continues to restore and build street rods, even mentor racers.

He owns 18 cars, often tinkering with them in his spacious SeaTac garage.

Ruth stays close to the sport, appearing at reunions and nostalgic drag events.

He has climbed inside the cockpit – notably the famed Long dragster restored in mint conduction by Bucky Austin – to ignite and rev up the engine. But that is as far as he wants to go to relive his moments with an earth-shaking beastly machine.

‘I’ve done that’ While he misses the competition, he refuses to take a dizzying drive down the strip in a modern race car.

“I want to live. I want to be able to drive home,” he said with a grin. “I’ve done that.”

Ruth remains a fan. He keeps up with drag racing’s advances, but is concerned about a sport that struggles with high performance as it relates to safety. Pros are

running four-second passes at speeds well above 300 mph. A number of engine explosions at or near 300 mph have resulted in driver injuries and death.

Too fast? Perhaps, but the NHRA’s nitro-powered pros no longer race a full quarter-mile. Nitro division duels stretch only 1,000 feet.

“I’m a purest,” Ruth said. “I would rather race a quarter-mile.”

When it came to covering the drag strip, few did it

better than “The King.” He was tough to beat. He left his mark in the dangerous but euphoric game.

“Seattle put out a lot of good racers out there,” he said. “I was just one of them.”

Lead agency: King County Department of Transportation, Road Services Division Name of project: Alvord T Bridge (CIP 1026789) Description of change: The Alvord T Bridge has had load limits in place since 1995 due to its age and structural deterioration. As a result of a bridge inspection on June 11, 2012, the King County Road Services Division must now lower those limits in order to assure public safety. The new load limits are: a. 3-axle, 14 tons b. 5-axle, 21 tons c. 6-axle, 27 tons The suggested detour route for vehicles that exceed the load limits is via Central Avenue S and S 277th Street. Please note that these new load limits are enforceable by law. Drivers who cross the bridge in vehicles that exceed the load limits are subject to citations and/or fines.

The Alvord T Bridge is an aging bridge that is becoming a greater safety concern with each passing year, and may require closure due to safety concerns at any time. Adhering to these new load limits will help to preserve the bridge in usable condition for as long as possible.

For Dental Implant Treatment, it’s a ClearChoice!

ClearChoice team of specialists brings you a dental implant solution that ďŹ ts 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 difďŹ cult 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 ďŹ eld. 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 qualiďŹ ed 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 patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why in an independent study of thousands of patients, ClearChoice patients would overwhelmingly recommend ClearChoice to othersâ&#x20AC; and we warranty our work.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I suffered with bad teeth since I was a teenager. Â Imagine dealing with failing teeth so young in life. Â As a musician, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m often in front of an audience. I wanted a rock star smile ... and now I have one.â&#x20AC;?
