Covington’s economy turned a corner in 2012, which means there is more good news to report as the City Council prepares to approve the 2013 budget in December. In his budget message at the Oct. 9 City Council meeting, City Manager Derek Matheson wrote, “Major benchmarks have trended upward this year changing the COVINGTON outlook from one of concern to cautious optimism.” Matheson pointed to the fact the city seemed to do well despite the slower recovery the country has experienced since the 2008 recession took hold and Covington “continues to capitalize on

CRIME King County UPDATE Sheriff ’s deputies were first dispatched to the Covington home around 5:30 p.m. after they received a call from someone claiming their roommate had been shot and that the suspect was still at the scene.

Kentlake’s sacred quest for the Holy Grail in ‘Spamalot’ BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@covington.com

Editor’s note: This article is written in a tone similar to the material the musical is based on. Pam Cressey is not dead yet. In fact, she’s getting better. And she has Monty Python’s Spamalot to thank for that. Of course, not literally. It didn’t actually “save” her in the medical or spiritual sense, naturally. But it was the Broadwayadaptation of Monty Python and the Holy Grail’s irreverent sense of humor, its finely tuned wit, that helped her through several hard times as the Kentlake Drama director fought and finally vanquished pancreatic cancer. And now Kentlake Drama will have the
chance to provide such magical mirth through their production of “Spamalot” in order to give the people of Kent and Covington under considerable economic stress in this period of history an example. Much like King Arthur in his search for the Holy Grail, Cressey was determined to be among the first teachers to get the sacred rights to “Spamalot” after she saw it in 2009. Those sacred rights she ultimately obtained in May of the year of our Lord 2012 while she was in New York. That’s New York City, by the way, not New York State, in case of any confusion which might have arisen. Of course, there are five boroughs in NYC, so this isn’t

Editor’s note: We apologize for the fault in the writing. The writer responsible for this story has been sacked. From there, the quest to put the production on stage began almost immediately thereafter. As the musical involved both disco and tap dancing, the students had to learn the intricacies of the art beginning in July, which continued up until the school year started. The first day of class was a workshop for the production, and on the second day auditions were held. And on the third day the women went to the tomb, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white [ more SPAMALOT page 6]

War Reflections
Maple Valley veterans recollect the Pacific campaign BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@maplevalleyreporter.com
T
hey who were many are now few. Maple Valley residents Jim Welsh, Richard Ludwig, Roger Llewelyn are members of a rapidly diminishing demographic in the nation’s population — World War II veterans. In 1945, when the war ended, roughly 16 million people had served in the United States armed forces. Sixty-seven years later, 1.7 million veterans are still alive, around 10 percent, and that number is diminishing at an average of 850 a day.
Roger L lewelyn
“We’re a dying off fraternity,� Welsh, 89, said. Ludwig, 88, a seagoing Marine who served in the Aleutian Islands campaign, used to attend ship reunions for his Marine detachment every year. That ended in 2002, when there were only four veterans alive and only two healthy enough to attend. Llewelyn, 86, served
as a sailor on a Landing Craft Infantry (LCI) in the Pacific, recently called old shipmates on the East Coast, only to hear from their wives they had died five years ago. Welsh, Ludwig and Llewelyn represent a generation whose experiences, attitudes, and perspectives are completely foreign to those of their 21st Century 17- and 18-year-old counterparts. Having been ard h c raised during the Great Depression, it i R was a time when having three square meals a day was just as much of a motivation for them to join the military as patriotism. It was a time when young men were so eager to enlist they would hide a flat foot in order to Jim W be accepted into elsh the Marines, or take a bus 300 miles to the nearest enlistment office. “We were depression kids is what we were,� Ludwig said. “We were used to not having very much. I’ll be honest, when I joined the Marine Corps I thought it was wonderful. I thought, ‘I’m going to have a good time. I’m going to have three meals a day.’� To them, names like Okinawa, Leyte Gulf, Manila, and Guadalcanal are actual
locations in the South Pacific, not mere names and places on a map or globe. General MacArthur was an egotistical prima donna or a great leader, depending on who you ask, and not just a historical figure. Additionally, the proposed invasion of g i Japan, w d which was estimated to have cost u L 1 million American casualties, was not a what-if scenario, but a reality until two atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended the war in August 1945. “When I was in high school, early 1944, the whole idea was to kill Hitler or Tojo,� Llewelyn said. “I was afraid the war would be over before I could get a chance. At that age it was a matter of ‘Boy I want to get into the service.’� For men like Ludwig, whose father served in the Army in France during World War I and whose grandfather fought for the Union in the Civil War, it was also a family tradition. “When I come home and said I’m in the Marines, tears run down (his father’s) eyes,� Ludwig said. “Because he was with the Marines in France. He was proud.�
THE ALEUTIAN CAMPAIGN Ludwig joined the Marines after being initially rejected due to flat feet. [ more WAR page 4 ]

Before one of the landings started, he approached his captain and asked what his orders were for the landing. The captain told him to write down every time and place the ship was struck by a bullet, shrapnel, or flak. As Llewelyn put it, he didn’t quite detect the sarcasm in the order. As the invasion commenced, he did just as he was ordered. “I’m up there not caring where the ship is going and I’m waiting to see shots,� he said. “I did that during the landing on the top deck. If you had any brains you’d get out of the top deck.� Another humorous incident occurred he was working inside the radar room, which he described as very cramped and tiny. During a rough storm, a seaman from New York entered with a handful of sweet rolls and teased Llewelyn as not having the stomach to eat them without getting seasick. Later, Llewelyn left the radar room, only to find the same seaman with his head over the guardrail puking. Naturally, Llewelyn couldn’t pass it up. By the time the seaman had recovered, half the ship had heard about it. “I passed it on to anyone who would listen,� he said. “I think they isolated this guy from thereon in.� After the invasion, Llewleyn recalls their ship transporting Chinese troops from the mainland to an island called Formosa, where Japanese troops were still holding out. That small island would later be renamed Taiwan and become a refuge for Chinese escaping the communist regime after it overthrew the national government in 1949. At the same time, in Manila, Llewlyen saw the toll the war taken on the civilian population, where 100,000 civilians had been killed during the battle for control of the region. “The people of Manila were starving to death, carrying dead babies around,� he said. Llewelyn was also present at Okinawa during the massive typhoon that arrived and almost overtook them. “I’m 18 and figure ‘Isn’t this interesting?� he said. “That water, no exaggerating, was completely overwhelming us. It was coming over our ship onto me. And I didn’t have a fear in my mind. Today, I’d probably die. I didn’t know enough to have cared.� While his ship managed to avoid the wrath of the typhoon by remaining on the lee side of the island, when they returned to Buckner Bay they found it was full of broached ships that were a part of the invasion fleet for the cancelled invasion of Japan.

Lung cancer is the deadliest form of cancer for both men and women. In fact, more people die from lung cancer each year than pancreatic, breast, and colon cancers combined. While lung cancer can occur in people who have never smoked a cigarette in their lives, the leading cause of lung cancer is the use of cigarettes. Second-hand smoke increases the risk of cancer caused by cigarettes. The more cigarettes a person has smoked, and the earlier the person started smoking, affects that person’s risk level; there is no proof that smoking cigarettes with lower tar levels makes a person safer. Lung cancer usually strikes older adults and rarely occurs in people under the age of 45. Lung cancer is often found when a CT scan or x-ray is done for an unrelated reason. There usually are no signs or early symptoms of lung cancer. As lung cancer stages advance, symptoms may include coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and bloody mucus. Treatment can include surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiation. To schedule a consultation, please call Southlake Clinic at (253) 395-1972. Our multi-specialty group has a clinic in Covington at 27005 168th Place SE. We are open Monday through Saturday. 701630

A Navy quartermaster is a navigation assistant at the wheel and also signals to other vessels. He participated in the Solomon Islands campaign and first served on a Consolidated PBY Catalina, a seaplane commonly known as “Black Cats.� As the fleet worked its way up through the Solomon Islands, his Black Cat would fly over an area where an offensive operation had taken place to look for any survivors in the water to rescue.

The decision of whether or not to drop the atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which killed thousands of civilians, has proved to be very controversial in the decades following among historians. But despite the massive loss of life, to them it not only spared their lives, but the lives of countless Americans and Japanese who would have been killed in the ensuing invasion. “If we had gone into those southern islands it would have changed everything,� Llewelyn said. “The bomb dropping saved us all.� While off the coast of Manila, Llewelyn said they had prepared for the invasion off the southern Japanese islands, a plan they had anticipated with dread.

The editor responsible for sacking the writer who had just been sacked has now been sacked. According to testimony from Cressey, imparted to this writer, the quest to produce “Spamalot� hit several severe obstacles, trials and tribulations that served to test the character of both Cressey and the students and other hard working members of the production. The first was the overwhelming number of massive props which had to be constructed. Many of them, such as the large wooden rabbit, are huge in size but appear for a narrow window of time in the actual musical. Now, supposing they built a large wooden badger instead...
Who could resist a daffodil named after a mountain in the Pacific Northwest? The snow on top of Mount Hood inspired the naming of this delightful daffodil that blooms with a pale yellow trumpet that soon turns to glistening, snow white as the flower matures. What I really like about Mount Hood daffodils is the white blooms last longer than traditional yellow daffodils.

ROCK GARDEN TULIPS
Another deer- and rodent-resistant bulb with unusual blooms on tall stems, frittalaria comes in many varieties — all a bit weird and wonderful-looking. The Crown Imperial frittalaria has up to 10 clustered flowers hanging from a center whorl like umbrellas turned upside down. A smaller variety, fritillaria malaria, is called the checkered lily or guinea hen flower because the bell-shaped blooms are bi-colored in a pattern that resembles a chess board or the chest of a guinea hen if you happen to be familiar with chickens.
These short-stemmed tulips are more properly called species tulips and they are originally from the Mediterranean so they prefer a spot where the soil will be warm and dry in the summer; in our climate, that means plant them in a raised-bed rock garden. Species tulips like the tulip kaufmanniana ‘Ice Stick� and Tulip clusiana ‘Lady Jane� come with two- toned petals that appear as if bold stripes of pink or red paint had been applied to the creamy white flowers. “Pinocchio,� with its long, pointed nose

That does not include the island of Taiwan, though. “This is the most prop laden show I’ve ever seen,� Cressey declared. Another test of patience and forbearance came about when she discovered, much to her amazement, that the majority of the drama student populace were not familiar with “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.� Not only did this inhibit their understanding of how to best tailor their performances, but it also robbed them of much laughter which young adults should not be deprived of.

Fortunately, this proved to be a fine antidote and the quality of their performances increased exponentially, according to Cressey. “They are dead pan serious now,â€? she said. “They believe it to be true.â€?

� Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K : �A national political campaign is better than the best circus ever heard of, with a mass baptism and a couple of hangings thrown in.� H. L. Mencken
RIP newspaper endorsements A lot of things have been said about this recent election. Much of it is true. A lot of it presents a simplistic, facile perspective of the situation in lieu of statistics too often overlooked. But this election did confirm one thing. If a newspaper endorsement’s purpose is to influence the outcome of an election, they need a makeover. On both a national and statewide level, there were a host of candidates who got the majority of newspaper endorsements, but not of the voter majority. Nationally, Mitt Romney picked up the majority of newspaper endorsements in several swing states, but didn’t take the states themselves. Here, King County Council member Reagan Dunn, who lost the race for attorney general to fellow Council member Bob Ferguson, was endorsed by all the major newspapers in this state — the Seattle Times, the Tacoma News Tribune, the Spokesman Review, The Tri-City Herald, the Columbian and the Walla Walla Union-Bulletin, just to name a few. Eleven of the state’s 12 biggest newspapers endorsed Rob McKenna in his failed bid for the governorship. Considering Dunn and McKenna were Republicans in a navy blue state, this is impressive. The problem, however, is that part about Washington state being navy blue. It hasn’t elected a Republican governor or bestowed its electoral college votes to a Republican presidential candidate in decades. And newspaper endorsements didn’t change that. In many ways, newspaper endorsements are a vestige of a former time when print journalism was the dominant media in society. Now, an editorial board’s endorsement, in my opinion, doesn’t sway people as much as it either reaffirms or enrages them, depending on their view. The lack of influence an endorsement has now isn’t a shocking revelation by any means. Even 40 years ago, newspapers had lost much of their power to broadcast journalism. I think another part of it is that the public’s relationship with their news sources has changed. Before, people turned to the media for their TJ Martinell Staff Writer
Behind the campaign facade What political strategy did President Obama use to win re-election? In order to win big stakes elections in America, it’s necessary to frame your opponent in an unfavorable light. Your opponent tries to do the same thing to you. Whoever is more successful in framing their opponent will win the election. Of course, there are other factors like having enough money to do that. While it should be obvious to all after this election that money can’t always buy enough votes to win, without money a candidate can’t get his/her message out to the public. President Obama was very effective in framing Gov. Romney as an elitist rich guy who had no understanding or concern Rich Elfers

news and listened to someone tell them what to think of it. Now, especially with the emergence of independent media outlets, the public forms an opinion and goes to whatever news source supports it. For example, Walter Cronkite’s editorial on Vietnam after the Tet Offensive had a significant impact on America’s perception of the war, even if his editorial did more damage to the U.S. war effort than the North Vietnamese Army ever did at Hue or Khe Sanh. Today, however, no editorial could have that sort of impact. This newspaper doesn’t do endorsements for a variety of reasons. One of them is staff. You need an editorial board for endorsements. Each of us is already a news/sports/community/features/ entertainment/education/crime/political writer, as well as a photographer. Nobody is keen on adding “editorial board member� to their list of responsibilities. The other is perception. As USA Today’s founder Allen H. Neuharth put it, endorsements make it easy for a newspaper’s critics to dismiss its coverage of an issue or political race as biased. It’s hard enough as it is for a reporter to deal with these accusations. Having their own newspaper’s endorsement waved in their face doesn’t make it easier. So the question has to be asked: What is the purpose of a newspaper endorsement if it has
little affect on the outcome? A lot of journalism organizations have tried to answer this question. Some consider endorsements as an extension of a community dialogue or conversation. I’m not so sure about that. The problem is endorsements are a definitive statement, rather than a proposition. I don’t feel like endorsements invite conversation as much as they tell. Instead of endorsements, editorial boards should initiate a conversation with readers by giving their opinion and asking for responses, which could involve more than just a “likeâ€? or “dislike.â€? This is something papers like the Seattle Times has done on a variety of issues, but not specifically concerning political races. Which brings me to the other problem with endorsements. Endorsements are an either-or. A lot of discussions involve more than two positions or sides. Dialogue allows for views often ignored in the two-side war to be expressed. Newspapers shouldn’t pigeonhole themselves like that. Rather than “endorsingâ€? they should provide what they like or dislike about both candidates. Like a former heavyweight boxing champion of the world, it’s hard for newspapers to accept their diminished position in society. But by reinventing themselves they can stay relevant. That’s an idea I fully endorse‌I mean, er, what do you think?
for the poor and middle class. The governor had to also overcome his 47 percent of the population paying-no-taxes remark, which made it even more difficult. Obama portrayed Romney as another George W. Bush. These were very effective techniques, whether they were accurate or not. Additionally, Obama was masterful in pointing out how Romney said one thing to win the conservative base during the Republican primaries and then had to switch over to win the moderates and independents in the general election. Obama did not have that problem because there was no real Democratic primary. He portrayed Romney as a flip-flopper – a framing label that Republicans usually use against Democrats. The attempts by the Republicans to portray Obama as a socialist tax-and-spend radical who got us into this recession was not as effective because most people knew Obama inherited an $8 trillion financial mess when he took office. Based on the results of the election they were willing to cut him some slack and give him another term. America is really center-right politically. The candidate who can successfully focus on that demographic will win the national election. Obama spent his whole time focusing on that group. Romney really was never able to until the
first debate. In the presidential election, facts don’t matter much except to the political junkies who know the truth. What wins elections is how effectively the candidate frames himself and his opponent. Whoever is more effective in doing that will win. The lesson we citizens should get from these elections is that we need to look behind the framing to understand who the candidates really are. That requires a willingness to ignore the negative political ads and to look more deeply for the things that really matter. Does that candidate have integrity? Does he have the skills and experience? Can she be trusted to do the job? Does that candidate really care about the citizens or is this really an attempt to aggrandize and serve themselves? Usually, candidates are both concerned about the public and also want to serve themselves. These questions are not easy to answer. They require political sophistication and a willingness to look beyond the superficial. Yet, without that sophistication, we are doomed to rely upon luck to find the best candidate and to have good government. An educated electorate serves democracy better than voters who are ignorant about the use of framing. It’s time for all Americans to become discerning voters.

Fantasy, comedy on Kentwood stage in ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@covingtonreporter.com
Puck will be making his final appearance in Kentwood’s production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream� at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the Kentwood Performing Arts Center. With a younger, but equally enthusiastic cast, Drama Director Rebecca Lloyd said she decided to go with an all-time favorite play. “It’s really funny,� she said. “It’s incredibly well written.� The division within the separate sections of the play, Lloyd said, made it easier for to conduct rehearsals. “It’s good to do because you have the mechanical are separate, the lovers kind of separate, the fairies are kind of separate,� Lloyd said. “The rehearsal time is less. Other plays they’re all mixed together.� As one of Shakespeare’s comedies, Lloyd said it was critical for the students to
not only understand the text but how to properly convey it on the stage. “They have to dig for it,� she said. “I like to make kids stretch their vocabulary and stretch their wings. They learn how to present Shakespeare and over-enunciation. They have to learn how to enunciate things really clearly. It’s hard enough for an audience that doesn’t know Shakespeare to not be able to hear them. They’ve had to really work on that.� “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,� like most Shakespearean plays, also leans toward a minimalist set. To create a sense of space and distance, Lloyd said, the production relies on a team of technicians. Another potentially daunting aspect of the play is not only its length, but the extensive amount of dialogue that had to be memorized. “The best way to learn it is to memorize a little chunk and then memorize a little chink after that and
keep going,� Lloyd said. “That’s pretty much what you have to do because if you do it any other way you’re going to get out of context, and if you do that it’s really hard to get it out. � “A Midsummer Night’s Dream� deals with the marriage of the Duke of Athens, Theseus, and Hippolyta, the Queen of the Amazons. The story also involves four young Athenian lovers and rookie actors controlled by fairies of the forest. Despite its age, the play’s focus on love, and the absurd behavior it inspires in people, gives it a timeless element, junior Heidi Sardi said. Sardi plays Helena, who is hopelessly in love with Demetrius, played by fellow junior Levi Hawk. Sardi refers to her as “desperate,� but says the audience is easily able to empathize with the irrational actions. “I think a lot of is still relatable today,� Sardi said.

COUNTY REFINANCING OF HARBORVIEW BUILDING WILL SAVE MILLIONS King County has saved UW Medicine about $1.1 million a year for the next 19 years, as a result of the successful refinancing Tuesday of the bonds for construction of the Patricia Bracelin Steel Building at Harborview Medical Center. “The savings from lower interest rates on the refinanced bonds will translate to lower lease payments for UW Medicine, and support the long-term sustainability of health care services there,� said King County Executive Dow Constantine.
[ BUDGET from page 1] on opportunities to put (it) on the map as a municipal leader across the state.� Financial Director Rob Hendrickson said the general fund forecast, for example, looks better this fall than it did in the summer which will bolster other funds in the budget such as parks and streets. “What we’re seeing this year, which will roll into next year, is better revenue base,� Hendrickson said. “We’re starting to see the turnaround in the economy.� Thanks to increases in revenue from the real estate excise tax and the city’s utility tax, as well as lower expenditure increases in other areas, Hendrickson said the city’s budget is looking healthier all the time.
UW Medicine is the main tenant of the Patricia Bracelin Steel Building. As part of the refinancing, King County will assume ownership of the building and dissolve the non-profit entity that was created in 2002 to finance its construction. The county received a total of ten bids to purchase the bonds. The winning bid was from Robert W. Baird and Company, a financial investment firm headquartered in Milwaukee. The county sold $41.8 million in bonds at an interest cost of about 2.4 percent. The final maturity of the bonds is in 2031. The county’s savings target for bond refinancing is typically set at 5 percent or more of the present value of the
Covington contracts with the King County Sheriff ’s Office for police services. That contract went up 1 percent for 2013, which is considerably less, as it has gone up an average of 5 percent in previous years. Meanwhile, the city’s health insurance benefits increased just 6 percent, which is in contrast to several years in a row of double digit increases. In addition, the city is now contract with SCORE for jail services, which has significantly reduced costs, Hendrickson said. With the general fund in good shape, Hendrickson said, the development services and surface water management funds are also doing well. Thanks to more permits this year than in 2011 for single family residences,
[ SUSPECT from page 1] wearing a tan shirt and standing on the front porch of a residence. When the deputies arrived, they found a black male matching the description of the suspect waling towards 17nd Place. According to the charging papers, it took several seconds of yelling and commands to get on the ground before the suspect did so. He was handcuffed, searched for weapons, and read his Constitutional rights. When asked if he understood his rights, the suspected replied, “My mom already know this,� and then asked for the deputies to read section two of his constitutional rights again. Deputies then discovered Smith inside the trailer behind the residence. Smith did not have a pulse, but his body was still warm. A medical unit arrived around 6 p.m. and confirmed Smith was dead. According to the autopsy, Smith suffered multiple blunt force injuries to the head, which resulted in a fractured skull and brain damage. He also suffered rib fractures, abrasions and bruises. Smith’s roommate told deputies that Stein had come into his house around 3 p.m. and asked for alcohol. Stein described himself to Smith’s roommate as “a bad guy with a gun.� He also said he had been drinking with Smith in his trailer and that there had been an argument.
the development services fund is doing well. Then with MultiCare’s hospital under construction and Valley Medical Center’s project nearing completion, the city will have 232,000 square feet of medical and professional office space coming in which will have a positive impact on the economy. “We’re becoming a hub of medical facilities,� Hendrickson said. “That brings in living wage jobs, increases the daytime population, so that swings back to more revenue from sales tax. Those people, they’re here during the day, they’re shopping, they’re eating here.� Still, that does not mean the city’s budget is without challenges. Hendrickson noted the parks and streets funds have long been weak
areas, but when it comes to street maintenance, that’s a problem every city in the state is dealing with. That is why more and more municipal governments are opting for transportation benefit districts to generate money to pay for street repairs and maintenance projects. In order to manage the need, Covington’s Budget Priority Advisory Committee will likely recommend the city increase its sales tax rate from 8.6 percent to 8.8 percent. It’s a small increase that is favored because it won’t likely be too noticeable by shoppers plus it will be paid by both residents and visitors to the city. Yet, it can bring in significant revenue. “That would bring in an estimated $670,000 to the street fund,� Hendrickson

we’re pretty flat in our franchise fees from Comcast and we’re seeing a slight decrease in our motor vehicle tax,� Hendrickson said. “The council understands those issues.� Hendrickson said the council will vote on a final budget Dec. 11. In his budget message, Matheson offered a positive conclusion on the overall state of the city’s finances. “All in all, the 2013 budget looks more promising than we have seen in a number of years,� Matheson wrote. “I have been able to recommend some decision cards that are important; there has been some belt-tightening which creates more efficiency; and with the BPAC report expected by year-end there is some real optimism.�

Stein reportedly told detectives the girl later left the trailer after having a shot of alcohol, but later said he wasn’t sure she ever went into the trailer. He allegedly admitted Smith had gotten upset with him the night before and Smith had tried to patch things up. The suspect told the detectives Smith had given him cheap beer initially and then they both drank “dark alcohol from a blue bottle,� according to the charging papers. When detectives asked Stein about the blood on his shirt, Stein reportedly seemed surprised and denied it was blood and was instead dirt. He told the detectives to prove it was blood. According to the charging papers, Stein refused to have his statement recorded or let investigators take swabs of his hand. He eventually tried to get past the detectives, requiring several detectives to get him back in handcuffs. Stein’s arraignment is set for Nov. 21. His bail has been posted at $1 million. According to the charging papers, Stein has no felony history, but has had prior arrests for assault and drug possession.

And that would make the street fund sustainable.â€? Long-term, Hendrickson said, the general fund looks good for the next six years but parks and streets could still struggle. Parks revenue is up this year, however, thanks in part to increased attendance at the Covington Aquatic Center. A portion of the sales tax goes to the parks fund but even with the increase it will be offset because of the cost of operating a pool — a cost that goes up every year. “The revenue sources in other funds are at least trending upward, except

According to the charging papers, Smith had offered alcohol to “patch things up.� The neighbor had declined the offer, but said Stein must have gone over to Smith’s trailer. When Smith’s roommate asked Stein why he had Smith’s phone Stein allegedly replied, “What phone? Who’s Bill?� At that point Smith’s roommate noticed the blood on Stein’s shirt and went to check on Smith and found him bloody and unresponsive. The roommate then called the police while Stein was on the porch, unaware the roommate was contacting the police. According to one of the witnesses, Stein tried to leave once he realized the roommate was calling the police and hit him when he tried to stop Stein from leaving. Detectives reportedly tried to interview Stein, who initially refused to sit in the back of the crime scene van until his handcuffs were taken off. Stein also reportedly avoided being photographed by detectives. He later admitted he had been drinking and told detectives he had met a girl at Walmart earlier in the day who was headed to “Bodega Bill’s� trailer, so he went along with her. He stated he knew

A Tahoma student attended Hutch High education event Nov. 15. Ibrahim, 17, attended at the invitation of one of the event’s longtime presenters and lecturers, Dr. Michael Bender, a physician specializing in sickle cell anemia . Hutch High is an innovative half-day science symposium. Around 200 high school students from all over the state were expected to be at the event. The students isolated and spooled DNA, learning the art of micropipetting and used a germ-revealing black light to test their skills at hand washing. Hutch High also involves tours of working laboratories and presentations from Fred Hutch scientists about sickle cell disease, immune systems, chromosomes and how researchers use high-powered microscopes to find new ways to fight cancer. There is no cost to any of the students or their schools. The program is made possible by funding from the Michael Miyauchi Foundation.

to the mountain dulcimer and from a vintage celesta which is a small, piano-like instrument with keys that make hammers strike metal plates, to a Bodhran which is an Irish frame drum, beat with a brush type stick. Two of their members also play several different types of recorder: yes, that fourth grade instrument many of us struggled with. Who knew that kind of music could come out of that simple instrument in the right hands? And it seems every year they add a new, unusual instrument to their repertoire. One of the best things about this band is their longstanding commitment to playing in the community. So you can purchase a ticket to see them at Carco Theater or Auburn Performing Arts Center, but you can also enjoy their music for free at a couple of the area libraries and at Gene Coulon Park’s Ivar’s Clam Lights. This is such a joyous tradition for my family, I want to share the experience with all of you. You can visit their website at www.erwilian.com for a taste of this inspiring music or meet them on Facebook. Plus they have a new album coming out in December called “Light from Darkness.� Here’s a rundown of their Christmas venues for your Gretchen Leigh

It’s time to gear up for Christmas. I know, I know, Thanksgiving is not even here yet. But I’m getting psyched up already because my next door neighbors have extra cars in their driveway most weekends now. That only means one thing to me — it’s time for their band, Erwilian, to start their Christmas concert series. This Celtic-folk-minstrel-type music puts Christmas joy in my heart. I’m not a big fan of holidays because of the extreme coordinating it takes to make everyone happy: from making sure we see our families to making gifts, planning meals and seeing lights. It seems the older my husband’s and my parents get and the older our kids get, the harder it is to coordinate all the things everyone wants to do. The stress of it can put a damper on my holidays and make me forget the real reason for the season. But seeing Erwilian in concert is one of the Christmas events we all agree on. It’s not just the music, it’s the instruments too. Besides the usual collection of guitars, violin and drums, they have some very unique instruments I find fascinating to watch them play. These range from the hammer dulcimer

LEARNING TO FLY BY KRIS HILL khill@covingtonreporter.com
Demitrius Bronson’s football journey has been a long, winding road which led him to Cheney. Bronson, a 2008 Kentwood High graduate, started out with a plan to play football at the University of Washington but in the fall of 2011 found himself at Eastern Washington University. It probably could not have worked out better yet when he made the decision to transfer it could not have been harder. In the fall of 2008, Bronson gray shirted at Washington, so he was not on the roster during the final season for coach Tyrone Willingham. While the tailback went to class he watched the Huskies football program implode into a winless season. “I had a lot of friends going there ‌ I knew the class that was going there,â€? Bronson said. “I was just trying to think positive about the situation. I know they’ve got playmakers and it was just a matter of time.â€? In the fall of 2009 Bronson was ready to step on the field for new coach Steve Sarkisian and make
his mark in the new era of Washington football. “I just thought it was a great opportunity to kind of step in,� Bronson said. “I kind of saw it as a chance, an opportunity to get my career going.� Before the season began Bronson wasn’t sure if Sarkisian planned to keep him on the roster. He got a call, though, inviting him to stay. That doesn’t mean it was easy. “Playing that year I felt a bit of pressure because I felt like I wasn’t their guy,� Bronson said. “I felt like I had to do everything right. I felt like I had to go in and do everything right.� He got some playing time that year, listed as a true freshman, but the game at the end of the season against rival Washington State may have been the beginning of the end of Bronson’s career at Washington. Bronson recalled fumbling twice in one drive against the Cougars in the Apple Cup. “The opportunity was out the door,� he said. “2010 came around and I just felt like for them to trust me as a tailback, that wasn’t there.

Kentwood High graduate Demitrius Bronson hoping to spread his wings on the football field for EWU Eagles
Demitrius Bronson, a 2008 Kentwood graduate, carries the ball for Eastern Washington during the Oct. 6 game against North Dakota in which he ran for 118 yards and a touchdown. Photo courtesy EWU Athletic Department started going down.� Bronson saw limited playing time in 2010 on special teams. After that, he made the difficult decision to transfer. Bronson said he didn’t leave on a sour note, that there was not bitterness, it just seemed like he might fit in better in another program.
Football wasn’t fun anymore. He told the coaching staff at UW he felt like his time there was up. “It was one of the biggest obstacles I had to go through in my entire life,� Bronson said. “I didn’t really want to leave, but I did want to leave.� Eastern Washington recruited him when he was
a senior at Kentwood — he rushed for 1,405 yards his final year playing for the Conquerors — and Bronson said he’d had a good recruiting visit at that time. He knew some players on the Eagles team, including Aaron Boyce, who encouraged Bronson to consider [ more FLY page 16 ]

All League Football Players from all four of Kent’s high schools as well as Tahoma’s football teams earned all-league South Puget Sound League North honors this week. Kentwood kicker Mitchell Cox was named Special Teams Player of the Year, Kentlake quarterback Steffin Church earned Offensive Back of the Year while Tahoma’s Dallas Hayes was named Offensive Lineman of the Year. Additionally, Kentwood’s Jackson Huerta was named All Purpose Player of the Year and the Conquerors’ Rex
Norris was named Head Coach of the Year. All league honors in no particular order by school Kentlake: Caleb Mathena, first team defense, honorable mention offense; Nu’u Vaifale, first team defense; Marshall Jones, second team offense, honorable mention defense; Kaleb Smith, honorable mention, defense; Steffin Church, quarterback, first team offense, first team punter; Mason Johnson, lineman, first team offense;

Courtesy photo wideouts as they try to prove they can put up numbers, too, and demonstrate the Eagles have a well-rounded offensive attack. “We’re competitive in the backfield,â€? Bronson said. “I give a lot of credit to my coach. We wanted to show something this year ‌ that they can trust us enough to run the football.â€? Whatever the Eagles are doing is working. Eastern was ranked sixth in the country in the FCS after a win Nov. 10 over UC Davis. Bronson had two touchdowns and 82 yards on the ground in that game. As the post-season approaches, Bronson is confident the team can make another run at a national title. “I really feel like we’ve got it this year,â€? he said. “Just overall when we’re clicking on all cylinders I really feel like it’s hard to stop us. We’re really going for it and we really believe we can accomplish that (a championship) again. I feel like we have more in us than people have seen on the field. I think it’s going to be a good playoff run this year.â€? Bronson is listed as a junior, so, he has one more year of eligibility left. That means that no matter how the season ends for Eastern he still has more time to prove himself. He’s trying to build on the trust he has established with

heading to Cheney. Bronson gave the coaching staff at Eastern a call. “They didn’t hesitate at all,� Bronson said. “They said, ‘Yeah, we’ll take you.� Still, leaving UW was hard. Bronson had to think about more than just what was best for him. “I have family to think about, I have to think about my son,� Bronson said. “A lot of people just throw it out there, ‘I’m going to transfer.’ It’s something that you don’t want to go through. There are a lot of factors that go into it.� Bronson’s son is 18 months old now. His girlfriend is also attending Eastern. He said he’s grown up in a hurry since his son was born. And his teammates recognize he has different priorities. Still, Bronson knew coming in this was a good chance to establish his football career again. He knew when he stepped foot on campus he would come in lower on the depth chart. And the Eagles style of play is different from the Huskies. At Washington, it’s all about powering through when running out of the backfield. At Eastern the focus is on speed and quickness. His first season with the Eagles, he was playing fullback, a position he was not comfortable in. That season was about getting back on the field, getting some playing time and some snaps. But, he wanted to get the opportunity to get back to tailback, the position he thrived at while playing at Kentwood. “I talked to Coach (Beau) Baldwin afterward and said, ‘What can I do to solidify a spot at tailback,’� Bronson said. “He gave me some pointers, told me what to do. Basically that offseason, I lost 20 pounds. I went away that summer, I went to Arizona to work on my speed. I still needed to get my mind right, to get my body right.� Bronson dropped from 225 to 205 pounds. He started working hard to move up on the depth chart heading into camp. “And things started falling into place,� Bronson said. Then early in the season he injured his hamstring. The coaches saw it as a minor setback and told him to keep working hard. So, that’s what Bronson did. His second game back things started working out for him. He got into the rotation in the backfield then ran all over the defense, rushing for more than 100 yards on 13 carries. Proving himself still isn’t always an easy task, though. Eastern has two excellent quarterbacks and a receiver corps that the offense hinges on. Its running game is secondary. All the backs, Bronson said, have a friendly rivalry with the
his coaches. He wants to continue to improve his game. He wants to get faster and focus on those little details heading into his final season of college football. “I do want to have a big year next year,â€? Bronson said. “Now that I do have that confidence, I can do this, I can be a collegiate tailback, I can run the rock, it can really boost me in the playoffs and however far we go in the playoffs.â€? Eastern, which got the automatic berth into the Football Championship Series playoffs, will play its first post-season game Saturday, Dec. 1, against the winner of this Saturday’s first-round matchup between Colgate and Warner. Someday, if he doesn’t land in the NFL or CFL, Bronson would like to go into law enforcement. His big dream is to either become a SWAT officer or a member of the Secret Service. Wherever he goes after his time at Eastern is over, he is thankful for what he learned at Kentwood and what’s he found in Cheney. “Coming into high school, I only had played football a couple years, so I didn’t really know my place,â€? Bronson said. “My grades were really bad coming out of junior high. They kind of took me under their wings, the whole (coaching) staff, and helped me with my grades and made me a hard worker. I felt like I had that in me. I look back at high school and I get kind of mad. I didn’t know I was that guy. I guess they saw that in me and they tried to push the envelope.â€? Norris was a coach on the field, a teacher in the classroom, a father figure and supporter. If Bronson needed new shoes, for example, Norris helped him get a job to pay for them. What Norris and the Kentwood football coaching staff did, Bronson said, was “shaping me into the kind of man I am today.â€? Norris had high praise for Bronson via email, “He was the perfect model of having your best athlete being your hardest worker. Because of that our whole team was better.â€? And then there’s this football team at Eastern. Sure, being ranked is nice but for Bronson, the experience has transcended football. “It’s more just being around the guys that makes this journey that much better ‌ this football experience that much better,â€? he said. “I love these guys to death. Even if we were 0-19 I still feel like the brotherhood that we have in the locker room ‌ we’re one tight eagle nest. That’s what makes the journey for me real fun. I feel like I’d do anything for these guys here.â€?

New Kentlake boys hoops coach a mentor as well khill@covingtonreporter.com
Godfrey Drake wants to put the Kentlake boys basketball program on the map. More than that, though, he wants his players to be successful, not just on the court but in life long after they stop playing the game. “People don’t really view this as a basketball school,� Drake said. “I like the challenge of that. I’d like to give this school the visibility it deserves.� Drake, a native of Jackson, Miss., had a meandering journey from playing as a swingman for the basketball team at Murrah High School in the late 1990s to planting roots in the Puget Sound. He describes Murrah as one of the top basketball high schools in his home state. Drake played with Mo Williams, who is the point guard for the Utah Jazz. Williams is one of five boys basketball players from Murrah to go on to play at top tier college programs. After graduation, Drake had the option of going to Wisconsin as a guaranteed walk-on to the mens basketball team or a scholarship to University of Southern Mississippi. “I went to Wisconsin for the first couple of weeks and it just wasn’t for me,� Drake said. “It was too cold for me.� For a young man who had grown up in a place where it’s in the upper 60s and low 70s in mid-November, as it is this week, for it to be in the 50s in August, well that just didn’t work for Drake. Unfortunately, he had taken too long to make his decision to leave Wisconsin. He left the chilly city of Madison, Wisc., and went to Southwest Mississippi Community College for a year and a half. When he finished there, he got a second chance. “After that I did well
enough for Southern Miss to come back into the picture again,� Drake said. “I played there for two years.� He graduated from Southern Mississippi in 2004. Drake, who is 6-foot3, played on a couple of traveling semi-pro teams before he suffered a severe back injury. “I ended up having to get a lot of work on my back and was never really the same after that,� Drake said. “That’s when I ended up in Seattle. I saw that they had an air traffic control program at Green River (Community College). I decided on a whim to just come up.� Tim Malroy, the mens basketball coach at Green River, was looking for an assistant coach at that time. Drake got the job then spent five years as the head assistant coach. Drake’s coach at Southern Miss knew he had potential to become a leader on the sidelines someday. “My college coach, James Green, always told me he knew I was going to be a coach because I was the player that questioned everything and had to watch film for hours and hours,� Drake said. “I was in (the film room) longer than they were. The coaches had to kick me out.� Drake said Malroy affirmed that in a discussion they had about Drake’s future. “He thought I was really ready to take over my own team, whether it be a college or a high school team,� Drake said. “After that the Kentwood job came open, the Tahoma job came open and the Kentlake job came open all at the same time. When I got here and met (Kentlake principal) Dr. Potts and talked with him I knew this was the place for me because he made me feel like this is the place to be.� Bruce Rick, Kentlake’s athletic director, wrote in
an email that Drake was the right man for the job, because he is a “man with the character, integrity, and work ethic that we think can take (Kentlake) basketball to a higher level.� Kentlake’s boys basketball team has struggled in recent years. In the 2011-2012 season the Falcons made it

Bears when they scored off a corner kick. Sophomore Taylor Clarin put the ball in the net after Brie Hooks sent the ball in. It dropped and bounced around for a bit, but Clarin, who seems to have a knack for being in the right place at the right time on set pieces pushed it in to knot the score up in the 54th minute. Skyline responded, though, in the 58th minute when Lianna Sims sent the ball over to Bianca Saint who put the Spartans ahead of the Bears for good when her shot found the back of the net. Tahoma did not give up after that but couldn’t seem to get past Skyline’s goal keeper who made several solid saves despite the Bears attacks and set pieces. In the third place game Tori Tappero scored the lone goal — off of an assist from Hooks, who plans

Skyline has stood between Tahoma and a 4A girls soccer state championship each of the past four seasons with the Spartans getting the better of the Bears three times. A 2-1 loss to Skyline Nov. 16 ended an undefeated season and aspirations for Tahoma’s first girls soccer state title since 2005. The Bears bounced back the next afternoon beating the Papermakers from Camas 1-0 for third place but it was not the trophy the team aspired to. In 2009, Skyline knocked Tahoma out in the first round. In 2010 Tahoma exactly revenge, beating Skyline in the semifinals, only to lose in a shootout against league rival Kentwood. A year ago, the Spartans and the Bears squared off in the semifinal, with Skyline put-
ting Tahoma away 2-0. This year, Skyline went on to beat its own cross town rival, Issaquah in the championship match. Coming into the semifinal game against Skyline, Tahoma boasted a perfect 20-0 record after crushing Snohomish in the first round of state then holding off a scrappy Curtis team in the second round. It was the Spartans, however, who were ready to make a statement when Amanda Johnston put the ball into the net for Skyline a mere 22 seconds in the match. “Twenty-three seconds of unfocused play ‌ did us in,â€? wrote head coach Jason Johnson in an email. “We all got caught off guard on a quick start.â€? Tahoma battled but couldn’t score before halftime. Things took a turn for the better for the

tire teams out,� Drake said. “We want to see if your team is deep enough.� On offense, Drake said, he believe in balance. When an opponent scouts the Falcons, he said, he wants them to have a profile on every player because they can all contribute. Offensively, the style is inspired by the Princeton system. “There’s a lot of passes and cuts,� he said. “There will be a lot of movement going on.� Though Kentlake hasn’t played a game yet, Drake knows experts and other coaches in the South Puget Sound League expect the Falcons to finish near the bottom of the North division. “That excites me. People are doubting us or forgetting about us,� Drake said. “We have some guys are willing to change the outlook. I’m just about getting better, game in and game out. The SPSL is one of the toughest leagues around. You can’t overlook anyone.� Drake, however, isn’t just about basketball at Kentlake. “I wanted to be here and visible,� Drake said. He is a mentor in the Check and Connect program. He spends time in classes working with students taking intervention courses. And he started a club called Men of Excellence. “We’re establishing a culture particularly with the Men
Real Estate for Sale King County 2ENTON
of Excellence club, job training, how to do job interviews, how to treat women, how to treat themselves ‌ just to help them be well-rounded young men,â€? Drake said. “I want our guys to be viewed as respectable young men in the community before they’re viewed as athletes.â€? And while he looks forward to transforming Kentlake into a basketball school, starting with changing the perspectives of the members of the school community, he also has high expectations for his players off the court and beyond their days at Kentlake. “I want all of my guys to be able to leave here and go to college whether it be if they’re playing or not,â€? Drake said. “The next step is that everybody that plays for me, I want them to graduate and go on to a two year or four year college. That’s what we’re trying to change as well is that our athletes are student-athletes first and foremost.â€? Drake’s journey to the Pacific Northwest from Mississippi has led to many happy accidents and wonderful side journeys. He met his wife here, with whom he has a 3-yearold daughter and a son who is nearly a year old. On top of that, he’s landed his dream job, working with kids who may otherwise be invisible at Kentlake while spending his afternoons and evenings coaching boys basketball. “I love what I’m doing right now,â€?

Thank you to our generous Pink the Rink partners for helping us “stick it to breast cancer�!
One hundred high-risk women in need will receive mammograms thanks to a partnership between Valley Medical Center’s GLOW program and The Seattle Thunderbirds hockey team. Now in its second year, “Pink the Rink� raised $15,000 for Valley’s Breast Center to provide life saving mammograms and breast education for disadvantaged women.
