Study: ShoWare boosts economy despite revenue losses

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

The city-owned ShoWare Center continues to lose money based on its operating budget. But a second economic impact study in two years by city-hired consul-

tants shows the arena brings a lot of business to town.

Consultant Mark Goodman, of Seattle-based Community Attributes, Inc., presented the Public Facilities District board (that helps oversee ShoWare

operations) at its July 25 meeting with a supplemental report on the economic and tax revenue impact of the 4-year-old arena. The study showed the facility has brought in an estimated $25 million per year to the city in direct, indirect

and induced revenues from 2009 to 2012.

Direct revenues include ticket sales, concession sales, arena rental and event-related spending outside of the ShoWare Center.

Kent man receives prison sentence for VA travel fraud

Everything is huge: the shuttle launch pad, the ambitions of the companies and the fortunes of the billionaires backing it.

It’s like “Clash of the Titans”, only instead of Zeus and Hades, it’s Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos and Paypal billionaire Elon Musk. Both are looking to secure the pad to progress their private spaceflight ventures.

But without a launch facility, none of the commercial players will be sending rockets anywhere.

A Kent man received a 37-month prison sentence Tuesday for his role in taking kickbacks on fraudulently inflated travel vouchers when he worked at Seattle’s Veterans Affairs Hospital.

Keishjuan Daniels, 33, also must serve three years of supervised release and share in restitution pay of $181,114 with former coworker and schemer Nick Hall, 47, of Seattle, according to a U.S. Attorney’s Office media release.

Baldwin supports KentHOPE FOR THE REPORTER

Baldwin Chiropractic, a Kent business at 10700 SE 208th St., recently donated a check for $1,100 to KentHOPE, a community organization whose goal is to open a day center and shelter for people experiencing homelessness in Kent.

For the second year, Baldwin Chiropractic has

donated $20 for every new patient who comes in during its charity drive.

“Last year we donated to the Salvation Army, but we wanted to do something even more local this year,” said Dr. Courtney Bostjancic, daughter of Dr. Garry Baldwin who started the practice in 1986. “We like the idea of giving back to our community.”

The check was accepted

by Chris Gough, of Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission and the pastor who married Drs. Courtney and Mike Bostjancic, on behalf of KentHOPE. Union Gospel Mission is partnering with KentHOPE to establish the day center and shelter in Kent.

“KentHOPE is a community organization – of, by and for the community – and these funds will make a huge difference in the homeless community of Kent,” said Pat Gray, executive committee chair of KentHOPE, expressing her thanks for the generous donation.

Kent Police Chief Ken Thomas said NNO is a great way to remind residents to be looking out for crime all year.

“National Night Out happens just once a year but we hope it encourages yearlong interaction and communication between neighbors,” Thomas said. “Kent officers will be out visiting events across Kent the night of National Night Out to give us a chance to thank members of our community for making Kent a great and safe place.”

Man gets 14-year sentence for drug dealing

BY STEVE HUNTER

shunter@kentreporter.com

A judge sentenced a repeat felon from Tacoma, who had been out of prison fewer than six months when he returned to drug dealing, to 14 years in prison in connection with a federal undercover sting last year in the Kent Valley.

Cedric Jackson, 35, received the sentence July 25 in U.S. District Court in Seattle from Judge Thomas S. Zilly, according to a U.S. Attorney’s Office media release.

Between August and October of last year, Jackson supplied cocaine that undercover agents purchased on six occasions, according to court documents. When search warrants were executed on Jackson’s home, officers found cocaine, cash and four firearms. The guns included a loaded Taurus .357 Magnum revolver under his bed, and three guns in a cooler in the garage: a Glock 9mm handgun loaded with a 30-round magazine, a loaded Intratec 9mm handgun and a revolver.

Jackson has more than a dozen prior convictions including assault, robbery, burglary, drug possession and bank fraud.

“You have a long history of convictions,” Zilly said to Jackson.

“You have been a career criminal in the true sense of the word. But you have so much talent – you could do so many things if you stayed away from drugs and guns.”

Jackson was released from federal prison in March 2012 and within months returned to manufacturing

SHERIFF’S OFFICE REUNITES FAMILY WITH CREMATED REMAINS FOUND NEAR KENT The King County Sheriff ’s Office has reunited family members with the cremated remains found in a box at a park near Kent.

“Thanks to the media’s help in getting the information out about the cremated remains that were found near Kent, we have been contacted by the daughter of the deceased and will reunite her with the remains later this week,” said Sgt. Cindi West, spokeswoman for the Sheriff ’s Office, in an email.

West sent out a media release Tuesday in an effort to find someone who is missing a box of cremated remains that were found last week near the Soos Creek Trail in unincorporated Kent. The daughter contacted the Sheriff ’s Office later Tuesday.

A King County Parks Department supervisor said a parks employee found the box containing the remains on July 22 while mowing near the Soos Creek Trail near Southeast 266th Street and 148th Avenue Southeast.

The remains were found in a box that had a tag stating the remains belonged to Beatrice Elaine Park, who died May 18, 2004.

Trial date continued again for alleged Kent pimp REPORTER STAFF

The trial date has been continued yet again for a man who reportedly made as much as $200,000 as a pimp in Kent and Seattle.

Shacon Fontane Barbee, 34, of Seattle, faces charges of promoting prostitution, leading organized crime, promoting sexual abuse of a minor and other offenses. He

had been scheduled for trial July 22 but that date was continued to Aug. 12, said Dan Donohoe, spokesman for the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.

“It’s supposed to be the last continuance of the trial date,” Donohoe said.

Defense attorney Brian Todd requested the continuance because of, “ongoing interviews - all law enforcement interviews are being completed,” Todd said, according to King County Superior Court documents.

Barbee has waived his right to a speedy trial.

Kent Police were part of the FBI Seattle Division task force that recovered three child victims and arrested nine people in Western Washington for investigation of child abuse and related crimes as part of a Operation Cross Country nationwide crackdown to address commercial child sex trafficking.

Operations took place July 24-28 in Everett, Federal Way, Kirkland, Lakewood, Renton, Seattle, Tacoma, Tukwila and throughout King County, according to an FBI Seattle Division media release. Victims and the pimps travel throughout Western Washington to work and do not necessarily reside in the area where they were located.

“Child prostitution remains a persistent threat to children across America,” said Ron Hosko, assistant director of the FBI’s Criminal Investigative Division.

“This operation serves

In asking for the 14-year sentence, prosecutors wrote to the court, “A significant term of imprisonment is warranted in this case to protect the public from further crimes of defendant Cedric Jackson.

as a reminder that these abhorrent crimes can happen anywhere and that the FBI remains committed to stopping this cycle of victimization and holding the criminals who profit from this exploitation accountable.”

The multi-agency Child Exploitation Task Forces (CETFs), working with additional partnering agencies, made contact with young women involved in prostitution through the use of undercover agents and detectives and by canvassing areas where street prostitution is known to occur.

All the women and girls recovered by law enforcement officials were offered a variety of services within the community, such as job training, housing, counseling, and medical and education assistance.

The Central Sound CETF is a partnership between the FBI; the King County Sheriff ’s Office; and the Seattle, Kent, SeaTac, Port of Seattle and Bellevue Police.

[4] August 2, 2013 controversial 5-2 vote to study the economic impact of the $84.5 million arena.

That study released in November also showed an economic impact of $25 million per year in 2011, but only focused on 2011 not the other three years the arena’s been open.

Ben Wolters, city economic and community development director, said during an interview that he approved the additional $9,500 study this year because he wanted to see the impact of the arena over four years not just 2011.

“I authorized it from my consultant budget,” Wolters said. “I have that authority as a director. I wanted a complete picture of how the ShoWare has been doing economically for Kent and a clearer picture of what the overall tax revenue has been.”

The ShoWare Center brought in an estimated $2.3 million in direct tax revenue to the city, including $570,000 in 2012, according to Community Attributes. Much of that money is from a 5 percent city admissions tax on each ticket sold at the ShoWare and from sales taxes on business sales generated mainly at Kent Station restaurants.

That tax money is not counted when SMG, hired by the city to run the arena, releases its income statement each quarter

based on operating revenues and expenses.

“For the first six months (of 2013) the net loss is about $132,000,” said Patrick McCluskey, ShoWare finance director, at the board meeting. “We budgeted a $191,000 loss so we are $59,000 over budget for the first six months.”

The arena had expenses of $1.218 million in the first six months and revenue of $1.086 million for the $132,000 loss.

The arena turned a rare profit with revenues of $7,048 in the first quarter this year. Three Seattle Thunderbirds hockey playoff games that were not in the budget played a big role in turning the profit.

McCluskey also issued a second page with a fouryear income statement that showed the arena made money in three of the four years if the tax revenue is included.

“There was a loss from operations but with the Kent fiscal impact you get a net income,” McCluskey said about the taxes that go to the city’s general fund.

The arena has lost $480,851 in 2009; $427,119 in 2010; $487,855 in 2011; and $707,541 in 2012 based on its income statement. But if the tax impact is added each year, the arena had revenue of $150,149 in 2009; $85,881 in 2010; and $122,145 in 2011, according to the income statement. The arena still lost $134,541 in 2012

even with the tax revenue added to the total.

“When you add in the tax dollars we end up about $223,000 in the black (over the last four years) and that goes into the general fund and the general fund makes up the loss,” said Tom Brubaker, city interim chief administrative officer, at the board meeting. “That makes me feel a little bit better (about the financial losses of the arena).”

The city puts aside money each year in its capital budget to cover the arena losses, money that could be spent on improvements to city streets, facilities and other capital projects.

Don’t cheat our wounded warriors.”

U.S. District Court Judge James L. Robart sentenced Daniels and Hall on Tuesday in Seattle.

“There’s nothing like the bright sunshine of public disclosure to reduce fraud,” Robart said. “I’m delighted to see there has been a decrease in fraudulent claims following this prosecution.”

Medical benefits are a critical aid for veterans. Not all communities have a VA medical facility, so the VA will reimburse certain travel costs.

According to court records, beginning in the second half of 2010, Hall and Daniles recruited other veterans to lie about where they lived so that they could fraudulently inflate their travel costs for coming to the VA for medical appointments. They provided their co-schemers with phony addresses in towns such as Pullman, Port Townsend, Richland or Port Angeles so that the amount of mileage each vet claimed was far in excess of what they actually traveled.

Daniels and Hall, who worked in the travel

Also ShoWare Center notes: McCluskey delivered the income statement report during his final day on the job. He has left the arena to become the finance director at the Meydenbauer (convention) Center in Bellevue. …The arena also is looking to hire a new marketing director after Beth Sylves recently took a job as director of marketing for four CBSowned radio stations in Seattle. McCluskey and Sylves each started at the ShoWare when it opened in 2009. Both jobs are expected to be filled soon, said Tim Higgins, arena general manager.

ployees, and eight veterans who conspired with them, exploited a system designed to help facilitate veterans’ access to medical care.

“This system provides financial travel reimbursements to veterans so that they can more easily come to VA medical centers and get the medical attention they deserve. The defendants abused this system in order to enrich themselves, ultimately at the expense of others.”

The case was investigated by the Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General with assistance from the Veterans Affairs Police and VA Medical Center Management.

Nationwide over the last 18 months the Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General has conducted 225 investigations and arrested 125 people for fraud in the travel benefits program.

The VA-OIG has more than 125 open investigations of fraud in the travel benefits program.

The VA, Office of Inspector General, has established a hotline for anyone to anonymously report fraud, waste, and abuse at 1-800488-8244 or email vaoighotline@va.gov.

If you hear a helicopter flying unexpectedly in your neighborhood, it could be from the King County Sheriff ’s Office.

voucher office, provided the falsified vouchers and sometimes provided vouchers for appointments that never occurred. The pair would take a kickback of half the cash the veteran obtained through fraud.

Over the course of the 18-month scheme the fraud totaled $180,000.

After the arrest in June 2012 of Hall and Daniels, the Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General (VAOIG) analyzed all larger vouchers submitted for payment (more than $500 per veteran). Before the arrest, such vouchers totaled more than $103,000 a month in payments. After the arrests and publicity about the prosecutions, the average total of such vouchers dropped to about $54,000 per month – a drop of 48 percent.

Michael E. Seitler, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Inspector General, Northwest Field Office, said that “the actions of the defendants in this case served to undermine the public trust and divert precious financial resources from the VA’s critical mission.

Question of the week:

As thundering nitromethane-powered cars of the National Hot Rod Association invade Pacific Raceways this weekend, I am reflective on my own history with the Northwest Nationals.

This year marks the 10th time I will cover the event. In July 2004 I reluctantly left my home in Maple Valley on a steamy Saturday morning — it was in the 90s all weekend — to see what this drag racing thing was all about.

See, I got a call the day before from a woman who worked in public relations for the sponsor of some Funny Car driver, a guy named Ron Capps who just last year would not only remember me but called me a “wuss.” But I’ll come back to that later.

The phone call was an invitation to come out to the Kent track, interview the driver, his crew chief, all kinds of access to the whole operation during race weekend. I decided to write a perspective of someone new to motor sports.

I spent about 45 minutes interviewing Capps in the pits. I told him I knew nothing about his sport, so he explained it to me.

Then he suggested I go to the starting line during a nitro session to really get a feel for it. Inserting some earplugs, I meandered off to the stands to get a closer look.

That day in mind-melting heat I experienced the visceral thrill of NHRA drag racing, the bone-rattling, internal organshaking feeling when a pair of 7,000-horsepower, nitro-fueled Funny Cars roar down the quarter-mile drag strip in a matter of a few seconds. The side-by-side duel leaves the smell of what is essentially jet fuel that burns the nose. Flecks of tire rubber stick to your clothes. I was hooked.

But that growth is not assured.

SGL would like to expand its Moses Lake facility, but the tax incentive that helped convince the company to locate there has expired. That puts a microscope on other factors that make Washington a high-cost state in which to do business — and those costs will weigh heavily on SGL’s decision whether or not to expand.

“We made choices to go to more affordable areas with the business to … drive productivity and profitability,” said Smith. As a result, says Smith, Boeing is shifting work to sites “where we see lower overall cost rates.”

“We peaked out [Washington employment] last year,” said Smith. “We’re starting to come down this year and will continue to assess that going forward.”

Boeing defense jobs in the Puget Sound region have dwindled as well.

The Boeing Co. was founded in Seattle in 1916 and has been part of our state’s identity for almost a century. But that’s no guarantee it will remain here.

Perhaps it is time to build on the success of tax incentives that convince employers to locate in Washington by offering similar incentives to existing employers to expand

and add jobs here.

Employers need a consistent and predictable tax and regulatory environment to make long-term plans. That translates into good familywage jobs with benefits.

Competitive pressures never cease, and firms such as Boeing and SGL are constantly re-evaluating their costs and productivity.

If they’re not competitive, they won’t expand. Ultimately, they will leave.

Similarly, state lawmakers should constantly reassess the impacts of business costs in Washington and ensure that we offer competitive advantages to employers.

Washington state has many attributes that attract new employers to our beautiful state. The challenge may be convincing them to stay here.

(UI). Our state has the fifth highest UI benefits in the nation. Ironically, the burden of those costs on employers is magnified in times of high unemployment, and they continue to weigh heavily on employers, even as the economy slowly recovers.

Our state’s top manufacturer, The Boeing Company, is dealing with many of those same issues.

The Seattle Times reports that, while Boeing is optimistic about the future of its 787 program, which is headquartered in the Puget Sound region, the company’s need to reduce costs is hampering job growth in Washington.

Asked about recent job cuts and future job prospects, Boeing’s chief financial officer, Greg Smith, says the company is focusing on growing jobs elsewhere, in lower-cost regions of the country.

Green River Community College recently concluded its portion of the Study of the United States Institutes for Student Leaders (SUSI) to whirling skirts and colorful dresses.

The 20 women from Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan performed songs and dances from their native land as part of a thank you presentation for their host families.

The July 18 ceremony closed with the restating of the phrase, “be the change you want to see in the world,” and not a single student’s eye was dry.

A State Department exchange program, SUSI draws foreign students to America to study at select institutions for four weeks, with two additional weeks of tours in the United States.

The SUSI programs have different themes, but all fall under the larger umbrella of “what does it mean to be an American,” says State Department Representative

Students perform traditional dances at the conclusion of the GRCC SUSI program, whose goal was to work on empowering women leaders in foreign nations. COURTESY PHOTO, Vivette Beuster Maccon Barrow. GRCC, along with three other US colleges, focused its theme on women’s leadership through a study of women’s rights in the U.S. Other topics for SUSI schools – such as the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and Miami University – include global environmental issues, civic engagement, religious pluralism in the U.S., social entrepreneurship and U.S. history and government.

International Development Director Barry Bannister said that this year has been unique, and that the group is one of the most motivated he’s seen. They have an unprecedented curiosity about the U.S. and American culture. Bannister also noted that the girls really bought into the idea that good leaders and good role models lead from the front.

The women were eager to take the lessons they

learned in leadership home with them.

Djamiliya, a 19-year-old from Uzbekistan, plans to start a non-governmental organization (NGO) to help mothers with disabled children. By taking care of the child for a brief time, the mother can go develop job skills.

“I think I’m really lucky,” Djamiliya says, regarding her chance to come to the program. “I’ll try to reinvest everything that I’ve learned here.”

Twenty-two-year-old Khusnora came to the program from Uzbekistan, where she is a third-year student in business administration. She says that while the country has legal protections for women’s rights, there are still large social discrepancies between men and women.

Women have very narrow social roles in Uzbekistanian society, she says. She hopes to help change that when she returns home, but realizes it won’t be a fast process.

“It takes time, not only from perspectives of men but women, too.”

Glenn ready for return to Pacific Raceways

STRIDES 4 STUDENTS FUN RUN FUNDRAISER SET FOR SHOWARE Communities In Schools of Kent and South Sudan Community Restoration Program, a mission of Kent Lutheran Church, present Strides 4 Students Fun Run, a 5-K race/walk and Fill the Bus activity on Saturday, Aug. 24 at ShoWare Center.

Registration for the fun run will begin at 7:30 a.m. with race times starting at 8:30 a.m. for runners, 9 a.m. for walkers.

The racecourse is a flat stretch of 2.5 kilometers from ShoWare Center along the Interurban Trail and back.

Entry fee is $25 for adults with discounts for youths, teams and families.

On hand to cheer on the runners and walkers will be the Sounders Women’s Soccer Team and the Seattle Thunderbirds’ mascot, Cool Bird.

Proceeds from the fun run will be used to build and furnish a primary school in Malual, South Sudan.

Dallas Glenn has traveled throughout the country to cities he never visited before. But this weekend he will be the expert when his work brings him home for the National Hot Rod Association’s 26th annual O’Reilly Auto Parts Northwest Nationals at Pacific Raceways near Kent.

Glenn, who grew up in Covington and graduated from Kentwood High School, is a member of Pro Stock driver Jason Line’s mechanical crew. For the past eight months, Glenn spent a good portion of his time riding in the cab of the tractor trailer that hauls Line’s race car, parts and equipment from one race to the next on the 24-race Mello Yello Championship Drag Racing Series.

“It’s been real good,” Glenn said. “I’ve definitely gotten to see a lot of the country. I’ve been learning a lot, trying to pay attention and learn everything, getting the hang of everything. It’s definitely different. I’ve basically been living in a hotel.”

His job on the race car involves working on the back

Thunderbirds to feature top NHL prospect in 2013-14 season

Seattle Thunderbirds hockey fans can expect to see a young and rising star in center Mathew Barzal this season with the Kentbased team.

Colin Campbell, T-Birds vice president and assistant general manager, didn’t hesitate to hype the 16-year-old at a meeting last week of the Public Facilities District board, which helps oversee operations of the city-

— the two-time Pro Stock champion has won just one event this season, Houston in April — he said Glenn’s passion for the sport can help. Especially at the end of a tough day like Line had in Sonoma, Calif., last weekend where he left just a little late in a close race and went out in the first round, losing to eventual event champion Vincent Nobile.

“It helps at the end of the day,” Line said. “I certainly enjoy that part of it. It’s a good thing. After doing this for a while you sometimes lose a little bit of that enthusiasm. He is definitely a good reminder of why I started doing it (nine years ago) and why we all started doing it. He’s a good guy and certainly enthusiastic about doing his job … and that makes it more fun for everybody.”

Line dropped into sixth place in the Pro Stock standings after Sonoma and the primary goal, as always, is to win the Northwest Nationals. It’s critical as the Countdown to the Championship looms Labor Day weekend in Indianapolis.

end. Glenn, who drove in the sportsman ranks when he was a teenager, worked in an engine shop so he knows his way around a car. Learning the ins and outs of the

suspension, though, is a new experience.

“I’m starting to get how every little thing affects the car,” Glenn said. “A lot of people don’t realize how complex and touchy these (Pro Stock) cars are. It’s definitely a whole different experience coming out here and you’re working week to week to week.”

While he works in the pits thrashing with the rest of the crew on the car, which can cover a quartermile on the drag strip in less than six seconds and hit top speeds of greater than 200 mph, Glenn realizes how fortunate he is to have

this job. He watches people wait patiently in line to get 30 seconds of time with their favorite drivers at an event that comes to their town just once a year.

And while the drivers are serious about what they do, Glenn said, he had the chance to see the humorous side of their personalities.

“It’s definitely a fun group of guys to work with,” Glenn said. “It’s definitely been a good experience so far.”

Line, who spoke to the Reporter by phone from the team’s shop in Mooresville, N.C., said Glenn is an unusual hiring choice.

“He’s very young,” Line said. “Normally, we don’t hire people that young. He’s very enthusiastic and is very mechanically minded and has had no problem adapting to the things we ask him to do. He certainly brings some enthusiasm to it because he is young.”

By young, Line means Glenn is in his early 20s.

Because he is the new guy and so youthful, Line said, Glenn gets picked on often by the rest of the team but handles it well.

owned ShoWare Center.

“He’s a special player that only comes along once in a while,” said Campbell who expects the team Barzal to build upon last year’s Western Hockey League playoff berth after missing the playoffs three straight years.

“He’s rated to be the top one or two draft pick in the NHL in a couple of years.

He will be an impact player

the next couple of years.”

Seattle opens training camp Aug. 22 at the ShoWare Center. The T-Birds open the regular season Sept. 21 against the Portland Winterhawks at the ShoWare Center.

The T-Birds took Barzal with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 Bantam Draft.

“Mathew has true star potential and will be a very exciting player for our fans

to watch develop,” T-Birds General Manager Russ Farwell said after the draft. “He has a style all his own and plays the game at a pace that is truly fun to watch.

He has been a dominant player for a number of years and his package of skill and winning attitude will have a tremendous influence on our team from top to bottom.”

Barzal, of Coquitlam, British Columbia, had 103 points on 29 goals and 74 assists last year for the

Vancouver NE Chiefs in the British Columbia Major Midget League. He set the league record for assists in a season. He played for the Burnaby Winter Club Bantam 1A team in 201112. He had 107 points on 39 goals and 68 assists in 35 games.

At last year’s training camp, Barzal, then only 15, scored more goals than any other player, Campbell said.

Barzal became eligible this year to play in the WHL.

David wins Tri-Cities hydro race STAFF REPORTS

Defending national champion Steve David in the U-1 Oh Boy! Oberto beat the field to the coveted inside lane and zipped to victory in the LambWeston Columbia Cup in the Tri-Cities last Sunday.

“We put in the acceleration package and it paid off,” David said of his Kent-affiliated unlimited hydroplane team. “I was able to get the overlap on Kip (Brown) and (Jimmy Shane) and take the lane.”

David went on to turn back Shane, the defending Columbia Cup champion in the U-5 Graham Trucking boat, for the victory. Shane

stayed on David’s hip the entire five laps, but David built a two-second lead by the end of the third lap and kept that advantage to the checkered flag.

On the importance of being inside, David added, “It really is. Jimmy is the future of the sport and he is really fast. That team gives him a great boat and he is going to be out front for a long time.”

Brown and the U-95 Spirit of Qatar arrived at the score up buoy too early and was penalized back to seventh place. Jon Zimmerman in the U-9 Fox Plumbing presents Team RedDOT finished third.

David and the unlimited

hydroplane field now turns their attention to this weekend’s Albert Lee Appliance Cup at Seafair. Racing starts Friday on Lake Washington, continues Saturday and culminates with the 4:45 p.m. final Sunday. For a schedule, visit www.seafair.com.

David is a four-time winner at Seattle and the defending Seafair champion.

At Kennewick, Sunday racing started out routinely with no one challenging David for the inside at the start of Heat 2A and cruising to a victory over Zimmerman who finished second.

But Heat 2B and Heat 3B each had blowover accidents.

A LITTLE WARMTH GOES A LONG WAY

[ RACEWAYS from page 10 ]

[ HILL from page 5 ] Since then, the Northwest Nationals, which draws thousands of spectators from throughout the Northwest and Canada each summer, has been a favorite event to cover.

A year ago during a pre-race news conference at the Space Needle, Capps sat next to me. Before long I disclosed my “freakout” experience last year when I got into the passenger seat of an instructional super gas car at the track.

Strapped inside the car and nursing a repaired back, I bailed at the last moment, buckling to my claustrophobia. I left the cockpit, feeling a bit embarrassed.

My claustrophobic response was in full force.

In that moment, I had a

whole new appreciation for men and women who race cars for a living.

Capps, who has been drag racing professionally for close to 20 years, good-naturedly called me a “wuss” for leaving the cockpit. He just couldn’t resist.

I have interviewed many drivers during my relationship with the NHRA. And of all the professional sports people I have met in my career – and that includes Andre Agassi, Tim Lincecum, Tony Stewart, Nate Burleson, just to name a few – NHRA drivers are my favorite personalities to interview. There is none of that sense of entitlement you get when you encounter elite athletes or marquee professional players. They are not cynical of you or your questions. They invite

you into their sport with open arms. It is pretty fantastic.

I feel lucky I didn’t turn down the opportunity in 2004 to interview Capps or all the other opportunities to connect with the drivers, to go to the track, make new friends, share it with old friends and discover a new passion. It’s a good example of why we should all try to get out of our comfort zone once in a while.

Enough of looking back.

It’s time to dig up some sunscreen and earplugs.

There’s a race this weekend, and I want to go get my bones rattled.

The Daughters of the American Revolution recently presented the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) medal to Cadet Madeline Zacher, left, a sophomore at Kentwood High School. Zacher was honored for her outstanding leadership, service, moral, character, dedication and patriotism. Hilda Meryhew, right, WSSDAR state historian, Lakota Chapter, Auburn, presented the honor.

[ BLUE ORIGIN from page 1 ] in a battle over a surplus shuttle launch pad from NASAโ s Kennedy Space Center. With the space shuttle fleet decommissioned, theyโ ve shut down the gigantic launch facility and are soliciting bids its the commercial use. More than a few high rollers have turned their eyes toward the unique investment.

Blue Origin, incorporated in 2000, is one of several commercial space ventures aimed at providing affordable spaceflight to help develop space travel. Backed by Bezos, it is in the process of developing a vertical takeoff and vertical landing craft for high atmosphere and orbital use.

Blue Origin uses a launch pad built on land owned by Bezos in rural Texas, but most of the flights conducted at that site are sub-orbital, which do not cross the Kรกrmรกn line that separates outer space from the Earthโ s atmosphere at 62 miles above sea level.

Blue Originโ s biggest competitor for the launch pad comes from Muskโ s SpaceX, a well known name in commercial spaceflight. To date, SpaceX has made four successful launches to the International Space Station while Blue Origin is still working to get its ships out of the atmosphere. While blue Origin may have money on its side, SpaceX has proven its capability.

Tender plants like Hot Lips salvia are less cold tolerant if you prune them back and encourage a late summer surge of new growth. One more hot tip about Hot Lips. You can place the cut stems or pruning crumbs of salvia into a vase of water on the patio and the humming birds will continue to visit. But be warned. The cut stems will droop and wilt quickly when first placed in water. Give them a few hours to absorb the moisture however and Hot Lips Salvia should perk right up and enjoy a long vase life.

Q. I thought everyone could grow zucchini.

However in my garden the squash are huge, shaped weird and have no flavor.

My fault or bad seeds? E.C., Tacoma A. Don’t blame the seeds.

Sounds like a drinking problem here and you are the enabler. Zucchini and other squash use more water when they are young and setting buds but later in the summer they perform better if kept on the dry side once the squash forms.

Tasteless, water-filled produce is often the result of a sprinkler or drip system used too often. Cut back on the water to just one inch once a week. To measure the amount your sprinkler or rainfall is giving your garden place an empty tuna can near the plants and measure the amount of water that collects. A ruler placed into the bottom of the can will show when the water reaches the one inch mark. Soil that is high in Marianne Binetti

Don’t be moving trees this week. August is not a good month to transplant trees and large shrubs, start a new lawn or forget to water your potted plants.

August is a usually a dry month so take note of what plants are looking good and resistant to drought in your landscape.

Use a sprinkler instead of hand watering shrubs or lawns that need water with the goal of getting at least one inch of water each week down to the roots.

You can also decide to let your lawn “go golden” or dormant this month. Be secure with the knowledge that the autumn rains will soon return to green up a summer dormant lawn soon.

Q. I have a salvia plant called “Hot Lips” that the hummingbirds love. It was covered with blooms early in the summer but is no longer flowering as much.

Should I fertilize or prune it to get more blossoms? Also does salvia overwinter like a perennial? J.M., Kent Q. Winter could be the kiss of death to your Hot Lips salvia unless you grow it in a container that can be moved close to the house and under the eaves in the winter. Some salvias will also overwinter in a rockery or raised bed. This heatloving member of the sage family can be convinced to keep on blooming into the fall season if you prune it back by at least one-third now and pamper it a bit with some fertilizer made for flowering plants.

BURN BAN: Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark has banned all outdoor fires on lands protected by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR), including campfires in all state, local and private campgrounds.

Hot and dry conditions have made the potential for wildfire unusually high on both sides of the Cascade Mountains, according to a Tuesday DNR media release.

Significant demands are being placed upon our fire suppression resources from both regional and statewide firefighting efforts. The ban is in effect through Sept. 30 and prohibits campfires in de-

organic matter can hold water like a sponge and needs much less water in the summer than sandy or lean soils.

Q. I have some greatlooking dahlias but we are hosting a wedding in our garden at the end of August and I don’t want these dahlias to be done blooming. If I prune back one-third from the top of the dahlia plants now will that insure that they will have flowers in late August? T.T., Olympia A. Don’t be getting too snippy with your dahlias now. Just remove all the spent blossoms and continue to harvest the blooms as soon as they open. Deadheading will encourage the plants to keep flowering until the first hard frost. Although trimming the tops off of dahlia plants can encourage more buds to form, the actual blooming could take weeks and your good intentions could cause these colorful guests to arrive too late for the wedding.

“Now is the time to be vigilant.

It is everyone’s responsibility to be appropriately cautious during this season,” Goldmark said. “The risk of wildfire is unusually high and the consequences could be catastrophic. We have hundreds of firefighters fighting two major wildfires and numerous smaller fires in Washington State. Our resources are stretched thin.”
