Surviving The Crucible Recruit from Kent area rises to the challenge at basic training in his bid to become a Marine

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

Kent City Councilman Les Thomas decided to throw his cards on the table to see whether fellow council members and residents want to remove the city’s ban on casinos as a way to boost Thomas tax revenue.

The Great American Casino operates in the Panther Lake area under an ordinance with a grandfather clause that allowed the business to stay open after Kent annexed the area in 2010.

That ordinance maintained the ban on casinos in other parts of the city. Now city leaders are looking at whether to open up all of the city, except residential areas, to casinos.

Some come for the chance to challenge themselves physically and mentally.

By day, Nicolle McDowell is a math teacher and yearbook advisor at Mattson Middle School.

By night, the Kent teacher leaves sweet “Nicolle� behind and embodies her alter ego, Narca-Lexie, a bruising blocker for the Toxic 253 roller derby team.

McDowell routinely makes the evening drive from her Covington home to the Tacoma skating rink, shedding formal wear to don a helmet, pads and skates.

It didn’t take long for McDowell to get hooked on a fast-pace, physical game. She began skating in her youth but revisited the rink when a friend invited her to a roller derby McDowell bout in Tacoma. McDowell soon was swerving and skating alongside other Toxic ladies at the Rollin’ 253 Skate Center in Fircrest. “When I got into it, I just wanted to do something fun,� said McDowell, who joined the lineup last August and has been a regular ever since. “I’ve never felt exercised like this. I’ve never sweat like this in my life. I feel healthy.�

Kent brothers laugh their way to Internet fame

BY MICHELLE CONERLY mconerly@kentreporter.com

They’re funny, Youtube famous and from the East Hill.

They’re The Fung Brothers, a dynamic duo made up of locally grown David and Andrew Fung who professionally direct, film and edit original videos on Youtube.com.

Back at Kentwood High School, these brothers incorporated their knack for making people laugh in

class projects and presentations, unaware they would be doing something quite similar but on a much larger scale later on. “We were always making quips and witty remarks,� they said. “(And) because we were Asian and performers, it was pretty easy to stand out.�

After both graduated from the University of Washington, David and Andrew made a big career decision in April 2011. “We figured we had to

move,â€? they said. “Seattle’s a great place to raise a family and read a book. However, if you’re Asian and into entertainment ‌ L.A. is where it’s at.â€?

The brothers began vlogging (video blogging) about topics relevant to their lives, which, many times, included themes like race and culture. Sometimes the vlogs and music videos explore those themes in a lighter manner. For example, their most recent [ more FUNG page 5 ]

Alleged pimp’s trial date pushed to May 6

BY STEVE HUNTER

shunter@kentreporter.com

A man who reportedly made nearly $200,000 as a pimp in Kent and Seattle had his trial date continued to May 6 for charges of promoting prostitution, leading organized crime, promoting sexual abuse of a minor and other offenses.

More time was needed to complete witness interviews, said Dan Donohoe,

spokesman for the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, in an email about the reason for the new date.

Shacon Fontane Barbee, 33, of Seattle, had been scheduled to go to trial on Tuesday, March 12. He had an initial trial date of September 2011 after his arrest by Kent Police in December 2010. His trial date has been continued several times. Barbee remains in the county jail at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in

Kent. Bail was set at $500,000.

Barbee allegedly made at least $192,000 as a pimp during one eightmonth period, according to charging papers filed against Barbee by King County prosecutors.

A then 19-year-old prostitute told detectives that she earned about $2,000 per week mainly from working along Pacific Highway South in Kent and Denny Way in Seattle. She gave all of that money

in New York and graduated from Cornell University with a degree in architecture.

World War II delayed the start of his career as he was stationed in India and the South Pacific with the Army Engineers. Following the war he returned to New York to start his career, but city life was not for him so he moved to Portland, Ore., where he worked for Pietro Belluschi and also met his wife Phyllis Harvey.

In 1952 when Belluschi took the job to head the MIT School of Architecture, Henry and Phyllis packed up and moved to Mount Vernon where he opened his office, the first architect in Skagit County, and started his family. He was fortunate enough to

be welcomed by the early pioneer families in the valley and designed private residences for them before branching out to commercial and public buildings.

Klein later founded Henry Klein and Associates which became The Henry Klein Partnership and now is known as HKP architects.

He designed many homes and buildings in Skagit Klein County, including the Skagit County Administration Building, Mount Vernon Public Library, The Museum of Northwest Art, Mount Vernon High School gym and field house and the Swinomish Tribal Community Hall.

[ DERBY from page 1 ] The name Narca-Lexie came from something relevant to her life. Being narcoleptic, McDowell turned her condition into a roughand-tough roller derby personality, complete with starry knee-high socks, blue hair and glittery leggings, telling her opponents “I can knock you out.”

That’s one reason why McDowell enjoys the game and why most spectators watch. She likes being able to hit people.

The diminutive McDowell absorbs her share of bruises and scrapes from being thrown by her teammates into other players in order to block the jammer, the position on the team that scores the points. But she doesn’t shy away from the pain. It’s expected in this sport and something she chats about with her students after class.

“If I was worried about getting hurt, this wouldn’t be the thing I’d join,” McDowell said. “I love to come to work because my kids think I’m bizarre. (They) love to see when I have bruises (and)

McDowell, who is training to become a jammer, brings energy and grit to the team, a mixture of women of all ages and abilities. They invite players from all skill sets to skate with them.

While the team does not promote violence on the track, roller derby is a full-contact sport. And for Adrienne Connolly-Poe – assistant coach and fellow skater from Covington – the hitting, falling and bashing isn’t something negative but rather just

Even now, Connolly-Poe broke her ankle during a scrimmage match and has to take a break from skating for a while.

Connolly-Poe, one of the original Rat City Roller Girls, has seen a lot of changes to the sport in the nine years she’s skated and coached roller derby in the Pacific Northwest. But one consistency, she says, is the interest this region has shown in the sport, more so compared to other parts of the country.

“It’s big here,” she said.

“We have so many leagues, it’s insane. There’s more here than anywhere else.”

So it comes as no surprise to McDowell that her 6-year-old daughter wants to join the Cleanup Crew of the 7-17 junior league to be a “roller brat” when she’s old enough.

McDowell loves the team aspect surrounding Toxic 253.

“The thing about my team … there’s great sportsmanship,” McDowell said. “It’s a really good team because they work to make everyone feel good about themselves.”

another aspect to the sport.

It definitely defines her style of play.

“I’m Veronica Vicious,” she said. “Hardcore, hard hitting, threat to the other team – my name fits me because I’m aggressive.”

Connolly-Poe doesn’t consider roller derby vicious unless people consider getting tackled on the football field violent, too. She says that some teams stage fights and rig matches, but everything Toxic 253 does is real, including the injuries.

The city taxes the casino, which offers poker and other card games, at 11 percent of gross receipts. “The city already allows gambling,� Thomas said. “Nearly every grocery store and convenience store sell lottery tickets. The Golden Steer and other restaurants along with nearly every bar have pull tab opportunities.�

Thomas said if there were two or three more casinos the city could use that tax revenue and dedicate it to streets or parks, two areas

Thomas added that gambling is a form of a “selfimposed tax� since people choose whether or not to gamble.

Among the other Youtube “celebrities,� the Fung Brothers have worked alongside the stars from Wong Fu productions and musician Jason Chen. But the brothers say that even as recent as a year and a half ago, the non-Asian and Asian Youtubers didn’t even know each other. “It’s still segregated,� they said. “But there’s definitely more collaboration nowadays.�

Unlike most celebrities and business partners, these guys get to work with family on a daily basis, which has its own set of ups and downs, but more ups than downs, according to the brothers.

the economy there is not likely to be a flood of applications,� Brubaker said about how many casinos might want to open in Kent if the ban is removed. “The number of social card rooms has dropped from 96 to 58 in the state.�

Great American also has casinos in Tukwila, Lakewood and Everett. The Kent casino has lost more than $1 million the last two years, said David Fretz, Great American president, in testimony in front of the council. The casino has 105 employees. “We’ve been in Kent for about 10 years but the last

couple of years have been difficult from an economic standpoint,� Fretz said. “Gaming has increased to $2.6 billion per year in the state but $2.1 billion is at tribal casinos (which allow slot machines). The house banked (card games) has declined significantly. Our casino in Kent has suffered.�

Fretz said Great American would like to move to another site in order to increase its size and be closer to a more affluent area. The casino is at 20500 108th Ave. S.E. He added the closure last year of Albertsons cut down on foot traffic to the casino.

But the city would have to remove its ban for the casino to move elsewhere in Kent, Brubaker said. That also would open up the rest of the city to potential casinos.

Councilwoman Jamie Perry said she would like know what residents think of the idea to expand casino gambling. “I have a hard time taking this on,� Perry said. “I have not heard an outcry for more casinos. If we could tightly control this and fit them in a box but we don’t have that ability

“The pros outweigh the cons,� they said. “You debate more, you argue, you pick apart each other’s ideas, but in the end, it’s usually a better product. We have our disagreements, but we’re best friends and share the same end goal so it all works out.�

And that end goal revolves around their “desire to make an impact on the world.� With more than 40 videos and over three million views on Youtube, The Fung Brothers are reaching young audiences throughout the West Coast and beyond. “Life is too short not to share our conversations with the world,� they said.

to zone. I’m not willing to open up Southeast 240th Street, the Benson and Highway 99 to casinos.�

Councilwoman Dana Ralph said she is open to more discussion about the issue and also wants to know what residents think. “I have less problems with casinos than I do with marijuana stores,� Ralph said about the city’s ban on medical marijuana businesses. “I’d rather see 10 casinos.�

Thomas would like Kent to possibly follow the lead of neighboring cities. “With the exception of Covington, all the nearby cities allow gaming,� Thomas said about Auburn, Renton, Federal Way, SeaTac and Tukwila.

A couple of council members had concerns about criminal activity at casinos. Kent Police Chief Ken Thomas told the council there has been no problems at Great American Casino in Kent and that he talked to fellow chiefs at Auburn, Renton and Federal Way and they reported zero criminal activity at casinos except for several calls to the Muckleshoot Casino in Auburn.

Channels open to help the homeless I am encouraged to see more communication between all who have a concern and a common interest in our finding a workable solution: both downtown Kent business communities, the City Council, staff and officials, our church community and other citizens regarding the issue of homelessness.

It will take the dedicated effort of all four groups and the whole community. We have spoken at each other from our silos. Now it is time to speak to one another from our hearts and join our hands and work together from the same page.

Thanks, Eric Greiling (“Looking to connect, help the homeless”, guest opinion, March 8, Kent Reporter), for your good nudge in this direction.

Rev. Bill, my father, leaves his legacy on community On Jan. 2, 1990, Dan Kelleher, then Kent mayor, proclaimed the first week of January “Reverend Bill Carleton Week” for the city.

A fitting tribute to a man that not only lovingly served God and shepherded his flock for 35 years, but also served the city as a community leader continually since 1955.

Rev. Bill came to the Seattle area from Minnesota when he was in junior high school. He went on to

attend the University of Washington for three years. World War II interrupted his university life when he served in the U.S. Naval Air Corps as a pilot. He then graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and then pursued graduate school at the Princ-

“Should Kent expand casino gambling?”

Dennis Box

?

Question of the week:

I have been consistently receiving buttermilk abuse at the various newspaper offices I find myself at these days.

I have a conspiracy theory that says this food crabbiness stems from another plot. Some seem to think I am not the Mr. Sensitive Bucket of Happiness I see in the mirror every morning (before I put my glasses on). Oh, how wrong everyone but me can be, and I do have to point this out in a Mr. Happy way, of course. When I gently make my “I am right once again” dance I try to be sensitive while I fling my arms in the air and yell “touchdown, touchdown” and throw in the requisite hair flip just to be consistent.

The Mr. Sensitive world of rightness may have something to do with the pile of problems I am getting about my eating habits. Namely my discovery that buttermilk, especially Bulgarian buttermilk, is ambrosia on nearly everything.

Now, I remember my grandmother drinking buttermilk every morning and I thought that was nuts and disgusting.

However, age does a wonderful thing. It kills your taste buds, and what was gross and disgusting as a child, becomes yummy, yummy as you near death.

I figure I have either turned into my grandmother, or I’m ready to croak.

Not only do I like buttermilk, I love it on my morning cereal mixture I call the slurry of superheroes, which is what I have been getting plenty of grief about due to the conspiracy.

My new favorite recipe is as follows. I soft boil two eggs in one-half inch of water for exactly 5½ minutes at home before work.

I load those in a plastic container and head to the office.

Once I get to work I mix up a bowl of either old-fashioned oatmeal or steel cut oatmeal, depending on how adventurous I feel, with wheat bran and raisins. I put just a little water in the bowl and cook it in the microwave for two minutes. Once the oatmeal mixture is

Court should have ruled that the two-thirds majority for tax increases is valid, despite the fact that it violates the state constitution.

Their stated justification for this approval is that a substantial majority of the voters supported three citizen’s initiatives in favor of the idea. However, if the Court had approved the initiative, that action would have been – you guessed it – unconstitutional.

The state constitution specified a process for approving amendments, and the process is not “because a majority of the electorate wants it that way.” Constitutions are serious documents, and the writers of Washington’s wisely included an amendment process that is very deliberative. It is patterned after the U.S. constitution, and I think most of us would agree that the U.S. constitution is hardly a failed experiment.

just about serving the local church and its congregants. It was also about serving the church at large as a member and leader of various committees, commissions and task forces.

He also willingly served the Presbytery of Seattle as chair of many committees and also was an active participant in special investigative committees and commissions. He was eternally proud of what churches within the Presbyterian denomination could accomplish together for their communities.

“It took awhile to go because they want the best so they have to check everything,” Starkey said. “It was three or four months for me to get cleared medically.”

Like many recruits, Starkey used the time wisely, getting physically prepared for the rigors of the 13week basic training.

It was at that moment Starkey and his fellow recruits got their first taste of the infamous Marine Corps Drill Instructor (DI).

Fresh off the bus recruits are swarmed by DIs, they are informed that they no longer live by civilian laws but are now governed by military justice. They are warned that if they leave the depot without authorization, the punishment will be severe.

A few hundred yards away planes at San Diego’s bustling Lindbergh Field take off every few minutes, symbols of a freedom the recruits won’t taste for the next 13 weeks.

The recruits are ushered inside the building through silver hatches (the Marine Corps uses Naval terminology because of their association with the U.S. Navy). Inside they divest themselves of the material possessions of their civilian lives. Wallets, cell phones, reading material and MP3 players all go into bags, to be returned once the recruits finish training.

They receive their first set of government-issued clothing and a pair of tennis shoes. Boots come later and must be earned. They are quickly ushered into the telephone room where they make a brief, scripted call to their parents or guardians, letting them know that they have arrived safely. Then their heads are shaved and

they are ushered through a myriad of medical and psychological exams.

For Starkey, the reality of having to work his way through the high towers of the depot’s obstacle course provided a wakeup call.

“I came here scared of heights,” he said. “But they really push you to overcome your fears. It only took me once to realize I can do it.

There is no real reason to be scared. I was pretty worried about some of the higher obstacles, but I did them.”

Now in the second phase of three phases of recruit training, Starkey spent his sixth week at Camp Pendleton, 49 miles north of San Diego, where he and his platoon mates were introduced to the M16A4 service rifle and the rigors of full 80-pound pack hikes.

“We did our first threemile hike with the packs,” Starkey said. “And I thought it was going to be really hard, but if you just think about the scenery and stuff like that it just flies by. I’m excited for our five-mile hike.”

Soon, at week 12, it will be time for Starkey to fully earn the title of Marine.

During a grueling 54hour field exercise test called The Crucible, Starkey will operate on just four hours of sleep a night and eat three times. He will march more than 40 miles and face several physical and mental tasks aimed at simulating the rigors of combat to determine whether the recruit has

Carbon monoxide alarm helps save Kent family A new law requiring carbon monoxide (CO) alarms in all multifamily dwellings beginning in 2013 has paid off for at least one Kent family.

At 5:17 a.m. on March 7, a family was awakened by the sound of their CO alarm activating in their Lake Fenwick Estates apartment in the 25000 block of 45th Place South, according to a Kent Fire Department media release. The family immediately evacuated their residence and called 911.

A search found that a closed fireplace flue had forced CO into the apartment.

The family had thought the fire was out and had closed the flue to reduce cold air drafts.

Once the source of the CO was discovered, the firefighters quickly vented out the gas, opened the flue to let any remaining CO escape, and allowed the family to return to their home.

None of the five people in the apartment suffered any adverse effects from the CO.

“I’m grateful for the opportunity,” Starkey said.

Man flees from Kent officer after car chase

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

A man with a fourthdegree assault warrant remained at large after leading Kent Police on a 2-mile vehicle pursuit and then fleeing on foot after an officer drew his handgun as he approached the van once it pulled over near South 272nd Street.

The man climbed over his wife in the passenger seat and fled out the passenger-side door during the March 2 incident, according to the police report. By the time officers realized he

Police

BLOTTER had left the vehicle, the man had run across a nearby Metro Park and Ride lot. A search failed to find him.

Officers ordered the wife out of the van and also found two children inside.

But the man was no longer inside.

The incident started at about 11:08 a.m. in the 23700 block of 30th Avenue South on the West Hill when an officer clocked a

Ford Windstar going 39 mph in a 25-mph zone. The officer turned on the overhead lights near the KentDes Moines Road intersection but the van kept going and eventually entered southbound Interstate 5.

The officer continued his pursuit along the freeway at speeds of about 65 mph.

He used a PA system to order the driver to the side of the road. The van left the freeway at the South 272nd Street off-ramp and pulled to the shoulder.

Police learned from the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife how he escaped

the van. A police records search showed the man had a King County warrant for fourth-degree assault against his wife as well as a no-contact order to stay away from his wife and children. Police cited the man at large for violation of the no-contact order, driving while license suspended and failure to stop.

Malicious mischief Police cited a woman for investigation of third-degree malicious mischief after she reportedly smashed the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side front and rear windows on a 2001 Chevy Malibu parked March 4 in the 14400 block of Southeast 254th Street.

A woman called to report the incident and told officers she suspected her sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ex-girlfriend smashed the windows because of a messy breakup between the two, according to the police report.

The former girlfriend had

texted the man to tell him to go to his grandmotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house to see what had been done. Officers contacted the man to confirm the text message. Police cited the man for investigation of violation of a no-contact order because he had exchanged text messages with his former girlfriend.

Assault Officers arrested a man for investigation of fourthdegree assault after he allegedly hit a former girlfriend with a white stick during a dispute at about 3:14 a.m.

March 2 at a home in the 20000 block of 104th Place Southeast.

The woman had swelling and bruising on her elbow, according to the police report.

The woman told officers she came over to the house for drinks with the man and they started to argue while in the garage, where the man reportedly picked up a stick and hit her. Witnesses had heard the arguing and called police.

Officers interviewed the man who told them the woman always begs him to get back together with her.

He said she was upset that he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to marry her and he told her she needed to leave. He denied assaulting the woman.

Kent Police bicycle patrols will return to the streets in May after a six-month absence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They will be coming back into service around May 1,â&#x20AC;? said Kent Police Assistant Chief Pat Lowery in an email. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to return four officers (two, two-person teams) to the streets at that time, though we will likely have to train some of those officers.â&#x20AC;?

Police Chief Ken Thomas recently made the official announcement about the return of the bicycle patrols. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The unit was temporarily demobilized last November when staffing needs and availability required demanded that we re-assign those bodies to regular patrol duty,â&#x20AC;?

Lowery said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was our thought at that time that their absence would pose a less significant interruption to service given the early hours of darkness and typically adverse weather that tend to limit their use or effectiveness during that time of the year.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Steve Hunter

Time for color, and a planting party â&#x20AC;&#x153;plant as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring.â&#x20AC;? I have no idea what that means! Why canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they just print a planting date on the seed pack? P., Email

and hyacinths.

You can plant any of these flowers directly into the ground or into container gardens now and enjoy months of color before replacing these early bloomers with summer annuals or bedding plants. In our cool summer climate some of the spring bloomers will continue to flower all summer long.

THE GARDENER

Gardeners with raised beds, containers filled with potting soil, or that enjoy soil that has been improved with compost over the years have fluffy, loose soil that drains quickly.

They can seed directly into the soil now and enjoy fresh greens in six to eight weeks.

If instant color is what you dream about during your spring fevers than take thee to a nursery and choose from the blooming inspiration such as primroses, hellebores, pansies, violas and sprouted bulbs of daffodils, tulips

Marianne Binetti

This is the week to plant cool season vegetables and add some instant color with early blooming perennials.

Vegetables that sprout best in cold soil include peas, carrots, lettuce, onions, beets, radish, spinach and Swiss chard. The secret to early planting depends more on how quickly your soil drains than it does on the calendar date.

If you have sticky, slow-draining clay soil you will need to wait another month to seed even the cool season veggies listed above.

Clay soil means wet feet and no vegetable likes to have wet feet on a cold nights.

Q.

A.

I am confused about when to plant seeds into my vegetable garden. You say to read and follow the seed pack, but what I read is

Gardeners have been gambling on when to plant for generations and out-guessing the weather is part of this daring game of chance. There is no exact planting date for seeds because gardening is more of an art than a science â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and knowing your soil and predicting the weather determines when to plant. The simple answer is to grab a fist full of soil and squeeze. Now open your

If the soil stays formed into a ball or if water drips from between your fingers then your soil drains poorly or contains a lot of clay and it cannot be â&#x20AC;&#x153;workedâ&#x20AC;? or dug up. Working wet soil destroys the structure or air spaces and this will result in seeds that are more likely to rot.

PUBLIC NOTICES The City of Kent, Public Works, 220 4th Avenue S, Kent, WA 98032 is seeking coverage under the Washington State Department of Ecology’s Construction Stormwater NPDES and State Waste Discharge General Permit. The proposed project, SE 256th Street Improvements is located between SE Kent-Kangley Rd and 116th Ave SE in Kent.

This project involves 6 acre of soil disturbance for construction activities required to install new underground utilities, sidewalks and road improvements on SE 256th St. Best management practices will be installed to minimize any polluted discharge to waters of the state as well as to ensure erosion and sediment control standards are met. The site will be regularly monitored to ensure water quality standards are also complied with and the NPDES construction permit requirements are followed throughout all phases of the project. The project will have a site specific Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.

Stormwater will be discharged to Upper Mill Creek via the city’s municipal separate stormwater sewer system.

Any persons desiring to present their views to the Washington State Department of Ecology regarding this application, or interested in Ecology’s action on this application, may notify Ecology in writing no later than 30 days of the last date of publication of this notice. Ecology reviews public comments and considers whether discharges from this project would cause a measurable change in receiving water quality, and, if so, whether the project is necessary and in the overriding public interest according to Tier II antidegradation requirements under WAC 173201A-320.

Comments can be submitted to: Department of Ecology Attn: Water Quality Program, Construction Stormwater P.O. Box 47696, Olympia, WA 98504-7696 Published in the Kent Reporter on March 15, 2013 and March 22, 2013. #753253.

Thunderbirds snap 3-year playoff drought

KENTRIDGE GRAD BELL SHINES FOR TOP-RANKED GONZAGA Sophomore guard Gary Bell Jr., a Kentridge High School graduate, had nine points and two assists to help top-ranked Gonzaga beat St. Mary’s 65-51 on Monday for the West Coast Conference tournament title.

Gonzaga (31-2) will find out Sunday its seeding for the NCAA Tournament. The Bulldogs are expected to get one of the four top seeds and will open the tournament next Thursday or Friday.

Bell has started 30 games this season and averages 9.2 points per game. He is second on the team with 52 3-pointers.

FOR THE REPORTER

The Seattle Thunderbirds defeated the Tri-City Americans 8-3 Tuesday night at the ShoWare Center to clinch a spot in the Western Hockey League playoffs.

Seattle has a 24-37-7-2 record good for 57 points and is in seventh place in the Western Conference standings.

With the win, the T-Birds are three points ahead of the eighth-place Everett Silvertips (24-39-2-4) and seven points ahead of the ninth-place Prince George Cougars (21-39-2-6), who lost to the Spokane Chiefs 6-4 Tuesday night.

The T-Birds have two games remaining in the regular season while the Silvertips and Cougars have three games each. The Cougars are at 50 points and cannot catch the T-Birds in the standings.

The top eight teams in the Western Conference make the playoffs.

The T-Birds, who ended a three-year playoff drought, will host Games 3 and 4 of a first-round series against either the Portland Winterhawks or Kelowna Rockets.

Game 3 will be at 7:05 p.m.

Tuesday, March 26, at the ShoWare Center. Game 4 will be 7:05 p.m. Wednesday, March 27.

COURTESY PHOTO, Seattle Thunderbirds, Brian Liesse The dates for Game 1 and 2 of the first round will be announced once an opponent has been determined.

The T-Birds finish the season with a home-andhome series against the Portland Winterhawks.

The T-Birds are at the Rose Garden for a 7 p.m. game Friday. They return to the ShoWare Center for a 7:05 p.m. faceoff Saturday.

Seattle goalie Danny Mumaugh started in net for the T-Birds in front of a crowd of 5,034 and made 28 saves

on 31 shots to get his first career win as a T-Bird.

Seattle jumped out to a 1-0 lead at 1:18 of the first period with a power-play goal by Luke Lockhart.

Roberts Lipsbergs pushed the puck from the slot while falling down to Connor Honey in the left circle.

Honey blasted the puck on net and Tri-City goalie Troy Trombley made the save. The puck rebounded to the left of the goal right to Lockhart. Lockhart jammed the puck under

Trombley for the goal.

Tri-City (40-25-1-3) tied the game 1-1 at 5:18 of the first on a goal from Justin Feser. Malte Stromwall had the only assist on the goal.

The T-Birds took a 3-1 lead on two shorthanded goals on the same penalty kill. On the first goal Seth Swenson sent the puck the length of the ice into the left corner of the Americans zone. Justin Hickman chased the puck down and got to it first. He fought for the puck up the wall with three Amer-

icans. The puck squirted out directly to Lockhart coming down the slot. Lockhart beat Trombley over the glove for the goal at 8:39 of the first.

The shorthanded goal was Lockhart’s league leading seventh shorthand goal of the season.

Swenson converted 50 seconds after Lockhart’s goal to give the T-Birds a 3-1 lead. Jesse Forsberg knocked the puck up the left wall to Swenson. Swenson tapped the puck off the boards and around the defenseman at the point. Swenson skated around the defenseman and got to the puck to create a breakaway. He came down on Trombley and beat the goalie over the glove.

Stromwall cut the T-Birds lead to one goal when he scored with 18 seconds left in the first. Seattle got the two-goal lead back 1:03 into the second period. Lockhart took a shot that rebounded into the right circle. Alexander Delnov got to the puck and carried it behind the Tri-City net. Delnov fought off a defender to make a wraparound attempt at the right post. Trombley made the save, but Lipsbergs followed up Delnov and poked the puck under the goalie for his 25th goal of the season.

Seattle outshot Tri-City 14-9 in the second period.

Kent rugby club open to athletes of all sizes, abilities Anyone can play rugby.

Just ask Tahoma High sophomore Dillon May, who runs cross country in the fall but plays rugby in the spring. He’s not a huge guy yet he’s fallen in love with the sport. And he points to teammate Noah Vaiese, a junior at Kentwood High who is an offensive lineman for the Conquerors football team, which many seem to think is the typical rugby player.

“There’s a lot of misunderstandings about rugby,” May said. “People need to learn about the sport and then you’d see more people play rugby.”

Kentwood’s football coach Rex Norris is the coach of the Kent Crusaders girls rugby team. He encourages

[ BINETTI from page 12 ] to pass through and seeds can more easily sprout and send down roots.

In Western Washington the planting date for cool season crops (leaf crops, peas, beets, and carrots) is anytime from mid-March until mid May.

Q.

I would like to fill my empty porch containers with flowers that will be blooming for Easter. I would like to use the potted tulips and daffodils that I see for sale at the nursery.

My question is: how long will they stay in bloom? T.S, Maple Valley

A.

Hop right in and celebrate Easter early by investing in pre-sprouted tulip, daffodils and other spring-blooming bulbs. If you choose bulbs that have tight buds and no blooms you can be assured of color for the next 3 to 4 weeks.

This color flash will only last if you keep the plants cool and moist. I like to leave the bulbs in the plastic KENTHOPE AND KENT DOWNTOWN PARTNERSHIP are gathering for a litter cleanup day from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday.

Volunteers are asked to meet at Kent-Kherson Peace Park, Second and Gowe streets.

Wear work gloves and bring a broom, rake, shovel and trash picker if you have them. Bring the family, invite your friends.

Plan to stay for lunch at one of Kent’s downtown restaurants or

his players to participate in a sport in the spring, Vaiese said, and mentions that rugby is among the options.

“The thing with football, I was always afraid to hit,” May said. “Now that I’m older and taller, that helps. With rugby it will help you react faster in football. The speed is faster, so, it would definitely help with tackling.”

Vaiese added that football players who participate in rugby in the spring will be in better shape in the fall and have better endurance on the gridiron.

“In rugby it’s pretty much continuous action, a 35-minute half with no break except for halftime,” Vaiese said.

Meanwhile, the Kentwood coach’s wife Nathalie Norris teaches French at Tahoma High, and she encouraged her students to try it out. She nursery pot and sink the entire pot into a larger container. Add pansies and primroses around the sides of the center pot and be sure to water both the center container and the side plantings. Then, in a few months when the spring bulbs are done you can lift the pot, spent bulbs and all right out of the container and replace with summer bloomer. You can even reuse the spent bulbs by tapping them out of the plastic nursery pot, separating the clumps of bulbs and replanting them into welldrained soil with the fading foliage still attached.

Q. I am going to replant a sunny slope using boulders to create a rock garden. I saw a photo of a spectacular display of color and the plants listed were pink and lavender creeping phlox, basket-of-gold, deep pink aubrietia and white candytuft. Will these plants survive here, where can I buy them and how easy are they to grow? N.G., Olympia

even offered extra credit, May said, if her pupils would go check out the winter camp at Kentlake.

May went to the camp and had a blast. Then he started going to Sunday touch games. Before long, he was hooked.

“It’s been really fun,” May said. “The biggest thing, though I like the speed of the game and the feel of the game, but I really like the camaraderie. It’s such an amazing sport. It’s a sport anyone can play. Both guys and girls can play it. It’s a worldwide sport, so there’s travel, too.

It’s such a great game. It’s something different, too.”

May said that rugby keeps him in shape for cross country while running in the fall helps him stay active so that when spring rolls around, he’s

A. Yes, these rock stars will all thrive, you can find creeping phlox, candytuft, aubrietia and basket-ofgold at local nurseries now and they are simple to grow – but only if you provide them with great drainage on a sunny or partly-shaded slope and remember that even drought-resistant rock garden plants need moisture the first summer so they can establish a root system.

You can tidy up these spring bloomers by shearing them back by one half once the flowers fade – often this early summer crew cut will convince these colorful characters to give a summer-long encore performance.

ready for rugby. He can see himself running and playing rugby the rest of his life.

May tried to recruit friends at school to come out to rugby. He takes the advice of one of the Crusaders boys coaches, Jeremy Torres, who suggests the players ask friends if they like to play touch football or kill the carrier.

If they have, then rugby is just like the latter, but with rules. These conversations are when May runs into the misconceptions of rugby, particularly the one where people think players have to be big, like football lineman, to be successful.

Vaiese has played rugby for three and a half years.

While he may be big enough to be a high school football lineman, he knows his size may not be enough Marianne Binetti is the author of “Easy Answers for Great Gardens” and several other books.

for college ball. Anyone can play rugby no matter what size. He first tried rugby when a friend invited him.

“I wasn’t doing anything in the spring,” Vaiese said.

“Football wasn’t my main sport.”

And like May, he was hooked almost instantly.

“I’ve fallen in love with it since I came out here,” Vaiese said. “That’s the good thing about this sport, it brings people together from different schools. And, anyone can run the ball. It’s a different feeling than football.”

May described rugby as

W

“a brotherhood.”

Vaiese feels the same way.

While there are team bonding events, dinners, and so on, in football, because there are 60 or more players on the team it’s harder to get to know everyone. With rugby, because there are 20 to 25 players, Vaiese said, the team can easily feel like family on and off the field.

He knows that sometimes the cost of playing can be an obstacle. Vaiese explained it’s possible to fundraise all the fees and not have to pay out of pocket if a player is motivated.

But we all know this is not an uncommon fading of human life. Nursing homes are filled with residents in similar circumstances. Speaking with friends, I heard the familiar words of those that are younger or less-informed: â&#x20AC;&#x153;For my death I want a massive heart attack that takes me instantlyâ&#x20AC;? echoed loudly in my ears from those attempting to control their own destinies.
