A pair of Tahoma levies will go to district voters next month BY KATHERINE SMITH ksmith@maplevalleyreporter.com
The Tahoma School Board approved placing a maintenance and operation levy and a technology levy on the Feb. 11 special election ballot at the Dec. 17 meeting. The two new levies would go into effect in 2015, replacing the current maintenance and operations and technology levies that are set to expire at the end of this year. “The timing is unfortunate,” district spokesman Kevin Patterson said of the proximity of the levy request to the school bond that was approved by voters in November. “We need to pass these levies to
continue doing what we’re doing.” Patterson explained that the bond measure is strictly for building a new Tahoma High School, remodeling other schools and other maintenance projects that have been termed warm, safe and dry projects. Levies pay for daily operations which are not fully funded by the state and the district’s technology needs which are also not paid for by the state. Levies require a 50 percent yes vote to be approved and there is no minimum number of voters who need to cast their ballots for a yes vote to stand. The proposed technology levy would

Kent man to make case for charter school at forum REPORTER STAFF
Adel Sefrioui, the man who wants to open a charter school in Kent will appear at a public forum hosted by the Washington State Charter School Commission from 6:307:30 p.m. Jan. 15 at the Puget Sound Educational Service District offices, 800 Oakesdale Ave. S.W., in Renton. The forum is one of nine across the state to hear directly from the 19 applicants and learn more about the educational needs of the prospective charter communities, according to a Charter School Commission media release. The forums are a part of the official evaluation process and are designed to ensure that Charter Commissioners are able to hear and learn from members of the communities where the charters would operate. Charter applicants will get 10 minutes for presentations, after which the floor will be open for 30 minutes of public comment. Community members who wish to comment publicly will be limited to two minutes each in order to accommodate as many participants as possible. Speakers will

be randomly selected in a lottery prior to the meeting. Sefrioui hopes to open The Excel Public Charter School in Kent. The proposal is under consideration with 18 other charters. The school would take state funding but operate independently of the Kent School District. Assuming the proposal is approved by the Charter School Commission, it would be up and running by the 2015-2016 school year. Charter schools are independent public schools operated by nonprofit organizations that are allowed more flexibility to be innovative with their educational programs and are held accountable for improved student achievement, according to the Charter School Commission media release. Broadly, charters must adhere to the same state learning standards, accountability goals, health, safety, and nondiscrimination laws, must hire certificated teachers, must follow generally accepted accounting principles and are subject to state financial audits. They are free and open to all students. Washington voters narrowly approved the creation of up to 40 charter schools over a five-year period in the 2012
November general election. Among the differences between public schools and the Excel Charter School will be a longer school day and year, Sefrioui said. He hopes to bring the school day out to nine hours and expand the days that the school is open. Traditional public school calendars run for 180 days of the year, while he hopes to have Excel open for 193 days. Doing so will allow the school to incorporate more creative electives, he said, such as computer programing and biotechnology classes. Two other applicants are scheduled to be at the same Jan. 15 forum as The Excel Public Charter School. The Coral Academy is on the agenda from 5:30-6:30 p.m. and the Cedar River Academy from 7:30-8:30 p.m. Individuals or groups wishing to provide written comment may send their statements to the Washington State Charter School Commission, P.O.

Scott’s President’s Elite Award for 2013 for being a top producer. This is one of the real estate agency’s top honors. Reeder has earned a president’s award every year since 2007. Reeder has also been named “Best of Kent” in the real estate category five times by readers of the Kent Reporter, including 2013. To further serve the local real estate market, Reeder has been named vice president of the South King County Women’s Council of Realtors for 2014. The council focuses on connect-

As if we didn’t have enough to worry about with type 2 diabetes, stroke, and heart disease, now there is a relatively new condition being tossed around, and it seems to combine the absolute worst of all worlds. Its name is “metabolic syndrome,” and it’s really not a condition of its own, but a conglomerate of conditions that happen all together, increasing the risk of major issues significantly. Conditions include higher than normal blood pressure, high blood sugar levels, too much body fat at the midsection, and cholesterol levels that are not normal. Any one of these conditions alone doesn’t indicate metabolic syndrome, but when they combine, serious health problems could occur. Metabolic syndrome can be helped by making aggressive lifestyle changes. In most cases, the best treatment for metabolic syndrome rests with patients. Changes to behavior -- such as eating healthier and exercise -- are the first things a doctor will suggest. People who also have heart disease or diabetes may need to have special meal plans. Please call Southlake Clinic at (253) 395-1972 to schedule a consultation, or visit our clinic at 27005 168th Place SE in Covington. We are open on Saturdays.

Neighborhood requests transfer to Tahoma BY KATHERINE SMITH
ksmith@maplevalleyreporter.com
Residents of Forest Creek submitted a petition to the Puget Sound Educational Service District to move their subdivision from the Kent School District to the Tahoma School District. The process, which began in the fall, was extended until Jan. 29 to allow the
two districts time to talk about the proposed transfer. The requests involved 27 homes and 16 current students, all of whom attend Tahoma on waivers, Tahoma spokesman Kevin Patterson explained. “The tax implications are negligible for both districts,” Patterson wrote in an email Dec. 12. “It is esti-
mated to lower the total tax rate for Tahoma taxpayers by 0.14 percent per $1,000. It increases the district’s overall assessed valuation by $5,360,000, bringing us up to $3,947,979,281. Kent’s AV goes down and their tax rate goes up by 0.03 percent. So there is virtually no change for either district.” Patterson also noted the
Enumclaw School District asks voters to renew levies next month levy is straightforward, with no surprises for anyone familiar with the way school districts operated in Washington state. The bulk of the district’s funding comes from the state, collected in the form of property taxes, but districts also rely on local support. The operations levy – most recently approved in February 2010 – has come to account for about 20 percent of the district’s overall budget. Operations levy money is used for day-to-day operations within the district, specifically for things like utilities, transportation, special education, substitute teachers, athletics and ac-
tivities, custodians, nurses and other specialists. Everyone who owns taxable property within the district pays into the operations levy and, during the course of Enumclaw’s four year proposal, that would equate to more than $42 million. The February ballot measure would be for collections in 2015 through 2018, starting with $10.1 million the first year and close to $10.8 million in year four. Individual tax collections are based on property values and district taxpayers are now paying at a rate of $3.83 for every $1,000 of assessed property value. If the operations levy is approved, the rate would

In Enumclaw’s case, both levies are of the replacement variety and will be decided as part of the Feb. 11 election. Ballots will be in the mail later this month and must be postmarked by election day. Both ballot measures require a simple majority for passage.

jump slightly to an anticipated $3.89. That means an extra $15 per year for the owner of property — home and land — carrying an assessed value of $250,000. The proposal for Enumclaw’s technology levy is a six year version of a tech levy first passed in February 2009. The ballot presented to voters says the proposition “would authorize the district to acquire and install instructional technology equipment and infrastructure, provide related staff training and make other technology improvements and upgrades.” This current request cannot be called a continuation levy because the earlier levy called for tax collections in 2010 through 2013. If the technology levy passes in February, collections will be in 2015 through 2020. There will be no “tech levy” taxes col-

The future of city golf courses
A group in Kent is shooting to save the scenic par 3 course at the Riverbend Golf Complex. They are prepared for a political and financial face-off with city of Kent officials and potential developers to keep a valley treasure that’s dear to the hearts of golfers and duffers, young and old. The nine-hole par 3 course has been an affordable, popular short course of choice for seniors who no longer play for distance, kids who are interested in picking up the clubs for the first time and families who just want to share the spirit of the game. “We’re not necessarily representing just us, we’re representing a ripple of time,” said Richard Anthony, a member of the Committee to Save the Par 3 who plays in the 60-strong senior men’s league at the course. “You’re talking generations (of golfers).” But Riverbend’s operating losses and a $2.25 million debt has city officials exploring ways to turn the tide and make the complex financially self-sustainable. One option is selling the par 3 to support the struggling complex’s other entities — the driving range, merchandise shop and 18-hole course. The city has not made a decision. There is no timetable yet for a decision. It remains a difficult, unresolved issue. Kent City Councilmember Dennis Higgins, who has had discussions with interested residents who want to preserve the par 3, remains open to suggestions. “I know the administration continues to look at ideas, and no doubt my council colleagues have also had conversations with interested parties,” Higgins said. “It is still very unclear to me whether any of these ideas taken alone or in combination will be enough to solve the problems of the deficit, of the debt, and of the need to reinvest in the complex. “But I would be very happy if a plan comes together that accomplishes all … these goals without needing to allocate from the general fund.” Riverbend is not the only municipal golf course hurting by the effects of a soft economy Mark Klaas Kent Reporter

Sullivan wants to talk issues BY PAT SULLIVAN
The 2014 Legislative Session starts Monday and, although it is only a 60-day session, there are a lot of important issues on the table. Among the most pressing are: Transportation: There is substantial need for infrastructure improvements at both the state and local levels, including SR 167. We also need to make sure our transit system is adequate for our communities. Additionally, there have been calls for policy changes to our transportation systems. How should the state move forward to meet these pressing needs? K-12 education: The legislature made a seri-
and the region’s typical long wet weather. Auburn, Renton, Tukwila, Sumner and Maple Valley are facing similar challenges and have seen similar reductions in the number of annual rounds of golf played since 2007. Kent’s par 3 course has experienced a decrease of 20.5 percent in the annual number of rounds played, which is approximately the average decline for nine hole and par 3 golf courses in Western Washington since 2007, according to a Kent City Council Parks Committee 2012 report. Still, the Committee to Save the Par 3 wants the city to work out a sensible solution. The group says the city should consider including the par 3 into its more sustainable parks system. They welcome the possibility of a vendor perhaps operating the city-owned course. They welcome improvements to the course to attract more vistors. The alternative of losing the par, the group says, would be aesthetically irreversible. A possible par 3 sale has attracted developers, notably one who has expressed an interest in bringing a mixed-use project to fruition. That project could feature retail shops, public open spaces, a hotel, apartments and possibly condos. All of which is a shame to a group of players who have been playing the par 3 for many years. The Committee to Save the Par 3 wants the city to play ball and preserve a course that’s been
ous down payment on the Supreme Court’s McCleary school-funding requirements, but we still have a lot of work to do to fulfill our paramount duty. Additionally, we may be hearing bills relating to teacher evaluations, COLAs, the opportunity gap and more. What do you think are the most important education issues? Early learning and higher education: Experts agree that early learning plays a huge role in setting students on the path to success, and we all know that access to higher education is becoming tighter and tighter for middle-class families. What should the state do to help kids on either side of the K-12 ladder? The operating budget: We passed a two-year budget last June that made a $1 billion dent in our education-funding obligation, extended health care coverage to 300,000 additional people in our state, and held the line on college tuition costs. The legislature will consider a supplemental budget that makes minor
a part of Kent’s recreational history. The committee fears that once the par is sold, a community treasure will be gone forever. “We have responded … this is worthwhile keeping,” said Dick Gravender, president of the par 3 senior men’s league who has played at the course for about 25 years. “It beautifies what we have here in Kent … rather than have condominiums or whatever else put in over here.” Future generation of golfers would lose, the group warns. “The young kids need a place to learn how to play golf, and they’re disappearing very fast,” said Jerry Turley, a par 3 men’s league player. “Whole communities are getting rid of par 3s. This is a great facility. You just can’t do that to our youth.” For now, the par 3’s future is uncertain. “I can’t say for certain where the road will lead in 2014,” Higgins said of the issue. “That will be somewhat at the discretion of the new council president and certainly a part of the budget discussion later in the year. I appreciate any and all suggestions from the league group, and I will be continuing to explore alternatives.”

adjustments to that biennial budget, and work is already beginning on the 2015-17 operating budget – one that will need to make additional investments in the K-12 system as well as meet the other growing needs of the state. How do you think we should address these pressing needs? I represent you in Olympia, and it’s important to me to hear your opinion on these issues. I am reluctant to spend tax-payer money on surveys sent through the mail — such things can cost $10,000 to $15,000.

Patterson said that if the state increases it’s funding of schools in years ahead then, “our suspicion is that the state will change levy authority and will change how much the district will collect.”
Patterson went on to explain that in that case the district would draw down how much it was collecting via the levies. To read more about the district’s technology plan visit tahomasd.us and select “Departments” from the drop down menu and then select “Technology”.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Covington City Council has scheduled a public hearing on Tuesday, January 28, 2014 during the regular scheduled City Council meeting at 7 p.m. in the Covington City Hall Council Chambers, 16720 SE 271ST Street, Covington. The purpose of the public hearing is to receive comments from the public, both written and oral, regarding adoption of the Hawk Property Preferred Subarea Plan & the Proposed Planned Action Ordinance. All persons desiring to comment may do so in writing to Sharon Scott, City Clerk, at 16720 SE 271st Street, Suite 100, Covington, Washington, 98042 or by appearing at the public hearing on January 28, 2014. Notice is further given that agenda information will be posted the Friday prior to the above meeting at Covington City Hall, and on the city’s web site: www.covingtonwa.gov. For further information, please contact Ann Mueller, Senior Planner, amueller@covingtonwa.gov or 253-480-2444. WHAT IS THE HAWK PROPERTY PREFERRED SUBAREA PLAN & PLANNED ACTION?
set out in December 2012, with the blessing of the City Council, to begin work on a subarea plan. King County decided the property on the other side of state Route 18, known as the Northern Notch, would not be brought into the urban growth area boundary in order to be developed. The subarea plan that was forwarded to the City Council could have anywhere from 680,000 to 850,000 square feet of commercial development along with a residential portion of 1,000 to 1,500 homes. Hart said Oakepointe could develop anywhere in those ranges. Before any businesses or homes are built, however, a connector arterial will need to be built. This road will link up from Southeast 256th Street through the development to Southeast 272nd Street. Hart said it should more evenly distribute traffic flow and it should even cut response times from the Kent Regional Fire Authority station off 256th down to about three or four minutes to nearby neighborhoods. Hart said the work on the road could begin at the end of this year or early 2015. “The first thing that is going to happen is the

The Hawk property subarea is 212 acres located southeast of SR 18 on the northern border of the city. The subarea consists of the former Lakeside gravel mine, an asphalt batch plant and a highway interchange. In 2013, the City tasked a consultant team to prepare the Hawk property subarea plan which will guide future development in the subarea (transition from mineral related uses to an urban village with commercial, residential, and recreational uses) and an environmental impact statement allow for efficient environmental review of future development proposals through a SEPA Planned Action. A Final Planned Action EIS supporting the subarea plan was issued in November. In December, the City Council received Planning Commission recommendations on the Hawk Property Preferred Subarea Plan and a Proposed Planned Action Ordinance. The Planning Commission recommendations will be the subject of the City Council hearing on January 28, 2014.

The way it will be implemented, Hart said, is through a development agreement. “The city and the developer go through a specific development agreement that gets into the details of timing and phasing, what improvements the developer is going to do and what improvements the city is going to do and that takes two or three months,” Hart said.

Anyone can be an indoor gardener, green thumb or not for a plant — no matter how long it happens to live. Cast Iron plant (Aspidistra elatior): Never has there been a houseplant with a more appropriate common name. In the south this houseplant is also called “the barber shop plant� because it seems to be the indoor mascot of every barber shop. The leaves start at the base of the plant so it never looks “leggy� and they sprout as long, arching and leathery green. Some varieties now come with yellow or white variegation on the foliage and this splash of color can really light up a dark corner. Inexpensive, easy to find, even at big box stores, it is time we return to the splendor of the Victorian age — when every parlor Marianne Binetti
The Compleat Home Gardener
The second week of January is prime time for indoor gardening. If you’ve watched houseplants wither and die, you aren’t growing the right house plants. Every home and every office can host a living plant no matter how cold, warm, dark or otherwise inhospitable the space may seem. Nature finds a way to support life. Here are three indoor plants that will thrive in low light, dry air and forgive you when you forget to water. Give them a try and you’ll enjoy the benefits of living or working around living plant material that will take in the carbon dioxide that we give off as humans and turn it into the oxygen that we need to breathe easy. When you think about it, helping us breathe is a pretty good job
proudly displayed a potted plant — most often that would be the hard-to-kill Aspidistra. Here’s a growing tip: For maximum leaf color do not overfeed this houseplant, and to keep the leaves from burning keep it away from bright, sunny windows – unless you have a barber shop with an awning out front. Dracaena: This is a large family of survivors that all make great indoor plants. The Hawaiian Ti plant is a dracaena as is the highly variegated dumb cane. Note to pet owners: Dumb cane earned its name because chewing on the stems or leaves will cause numbness of the mouth. You can enjoy the long, narrow leaves of a potted dracaena in a dark corner, warm office or cool sunroom. Some varieties have very dark, almost purple, leaves while others sport foliage

At that time an interlocal agreement between the SeaTac Fire Department and Kent Fire Department RFA provided the following services to the City of SeaTac: • Chief Administration • Emergency Management • Fire Prevention • Fire Investigation • Training Beginning in 2014, all emergency services are included in the contract, “We take the time to care for both our Owners and Tenantsâ€?
with bright white edges or yellow blotches. Growing tip: Any dracaena that grows too tall or leggy can be cut almost to soil level and new leaves will sprout from the base so you’ll have a much more compact houseplant. You can also cut up the bare stems and lay them on their side to root in moist soil, or place the top growth from your pruning adventure into a glass of water until new roots form on the stem. Dracaena just loves to re-invent itself. Pathos: (Scindapsus) For any situation where a hanging houseplant is needed such as on the top of a bookcase or to fill in the space on top of cabinets, the answer is the droughtresistant pathos plant. Glossy, heart-shaped leaves sprout from the long dangling stems and even in warm homes with dry, indoor air this houseplant will carry on without com-

Personnel will wear Kent Fire Department RFA uniforms, though all emergency apparatus will keep their current logos on them. The new department will protect approximately 50 square miles, including the cities of Kent, SeaTac, Covington, and King County Fire District 37 with 11 fire stations and over 200 firefighters. On a day-to-day basis, there will be very little change. Both departments are self-funding.

plaint. The variegated form has attractive cream and yellow markings on the leaves and pathos can also be trained to grow upright on a piece of bark or other support. Growing tip: Do not overwater this plant. Check at the soil line for rotting of the stem and do not buy plants that have been overwatered. You can tell by checking for brown or black markings on the stem near the soil line.

Antibiotics don’t help the common cold, other viruses
Community News and Notes KENT SCHOOL GROUP ORGANIZES RALLY The public is invited to a Citizens For Kent Schools rally Friday to
learn about the school district’s maintenance and operations levy and the technology levy placed on the Feb. 11 ballot.
Upper Respiratory Tract Infections in Pediatrics to help providers determine when it is appropriate to prescribe antibiotics. The report advises that physicians should only prescribe antibiotics if the patient has a bacterial infection, if the benefits of treating with antibiotics outweigh the risks and possible side effects of the medicine, and lastly to be “judicious” when prescribing antibiotics. So, how can you help the antibiotic overuse problem? Realize that in most cases antibiotics may not help your child. Make sure that your child only takes an antibiotic when it is necessary. Antibiotics are ineffective against viruses and are used to treat infections caused by bacteria. Most of the time antibiotics do not help the
common cold, flu, bronchitis, or sinus infections which are caused by viruses. Even sinus infections and some ear infections will eventually get better on their own without the help of an antibiotic. As I have mentioned, a primary reason to avoid antibiotics unless it is absolutely necessary is antibiotic resistance. The more we use antibiotics the stronger the bacteria become and the harder it is to treat a severe infection that actually needs antibiotics. Additionally, all medicines, including antibiotics, have risks. Common side effects include abdominal pain, diarrhea and vomiting — it is also possible to have severe allergic reactions to antibiotics. All that being said, there
may be times when your child will need antibiotics — illnesses that require antibiotics include bacterial pneumonia, whooping cough, a cough lasting more than two weeks, sinusitis that is worsening, and strep throat which is diagnosed by a rapid strep test at your doctor’s office, just to name a few examples. When your child is prescribed antibiotics it is important to use them safely – give them as directed and finish the prescription – even if your child is feeling better. Stopping the antibiotics before you have finished the entire course can lead to resistance. Make sure that you throw away any unused or expired antibiotics and only give them to the person they were prescribed to! Giving
The rally runs from 10 a.m. to noon at the Kent-Meridian High School cafeteria, 10020 SE 256th St. According to the group, a successful M&O levy would allow the
district to restore high priority programs lost to past budget cuts, like fifth grade band and orchestra and earlier reduced staff positions like counselors and librarians and building maintenance and middle school athletic programs. If it doesn’t pass, 20 percent of the operational budget will be lost, or one in five staff jobs could disappear, the group said. The four-year replacement levy provides up to 24 percent of the district’s annual operational rev-
enue. It bridges the gap between state funding and community expectations and continues paying for supplies, services, and approximately one in five of all employees. Levy funds also would allow a gradual restoration of programs lost over the past four-years due to state and federal cuts. The 2010 technology levy expires in 2014. The four-year replacement levy continues support for classroom technology in KSD over

requiring antibiotics. Antibiotics are important to treat certain infections, of course, but if we continue to overuse them they will start to become ineffective. Some studies report as many as 10 million antibiotics are prescribed every year unnecessarily for infections. That is a huge number! This increase can lead to antibiotic resistance — a problem when you have a serious infection that does require antibiotics. The American Academy of Pediatrics and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a report last month in the journal Pediatrics entitled Principles of Judicious Antibiotic Prescribing for Bacterial
COMMENTARY
Covington Clinic South has been extremely busy the last several months with patients coming in with coughs, runny noses and cold and flu-like symptoms. Hopefully this does not sound familiar to you. But if it does, what did your doctor recommend to alleviate your symptoms? Plenty of rest and liquids? Over the counter cold or flu medicine? Or were you prescribed antibiotics? How your provider decides if you are experiencing a viral illness or have an infection that requires antibiotics is a very important topic since most of the time the achy cold and flu symptoms will go away without

SEATTLE FBU EIGHTH GRADE MAKES IT TO CHAMPIONSHIP The Seattle Eighth Grade team, which has players from Kent and Covington, made it to the Football University national championship game Saturday but lost 31-0 to GFL Georgia. In the semifinals, Seattle held off St. Louis, 6-3, last Friday. St. Louis’ 47-yard game-tying field goal fell just short in the final minute. Jacob Sirmon’s 14-yard pass to wide receiver Micah Smith with 2:45 mark left in the first quarter proved to be the game’s only touchdown.

Toward the end of winter break the Kentwood girls basketball team wrapped up practice the day before playing Kent-Meridian. The girls did not rush out of the gym. Instead, they lingered, chatting, joking around and having fun together. This is what the seniors — there are six — on the team think separates the Conquerors squad from the rest of the South Puget Sound League North. It’s a level of chemistry which is a result of a half dozen girls who began playing together years ago. But, a Jan. 3 game against K-M was the first time since eight grade that all six — Sarah Toeaina, Kate Kramer, Alycea DeLong, Ashley Rolsma, Jenny Johnson and Ashleigh Key — were all able to play together. Kramer returned in that game after a knee injury while DeLong, who injured the ACL, MCL and meniscus of her right knee in July 2012, did not play at all during the 2012-2013 season. DeLong said it was hard watching from the bench her junior season. “It hurt emotionally,” DeLong said. “Those crunch
time games, it was tense. Being back this year, it’s fun. It’s been great.” This season, DeLong is still wearing a brace, something she adjusted to, but it slowed her down initially. She said she has just begun to feel normal recently. “When you’ve been together this long you have fun together,” Johnson said after practice Jan. 2. “It’s exciting, too, because we’ve always had that missing piece.” Toeaina added, “It’s a relief knowing that we have a deeper bench.” DeLong echoed those sentiments, adding that it is a good feeling to have everyone back and healthy. “Now that we have (Kramer) back, we have that extra person on the bench,” DeLong said. “Once we get into the flow, I think we’ll be set.” Chemistry of those six seniors, plus the handful of underclassmen who round out the roster, is one thing, but the experience the Kentwood girls have will play into the success the team aspires to this season. The Conks made it to the regional round of state two years ago and played two games at the Tacoma Dome [ more STRENGTH page 11 ]

Tips for Seahawks fans during playoffs Bureau’s backyard, according to the release. Ticket resellers are already busy swinging deals (such as $14,000 tickets) with anyone willing to buy seats for the big game. But before making massive purchases, BBB warns fans to guard against blitzing scammers. “CenturyLink will be sold out, so anyone wanting tickets can expect to pay a fortune,� says Tyler Andrew, CEO of BBB serving Alaska, Oregon and Western Washington. “Be extremely careful when purchasing tickets from third-party sellers and
BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU OFFERS TIPS TO AVOID PLAYOFF TICKET SCAMS Anyone seeking tickets to the soldout Seattle Seahawks playoff game Saturday against the New Orleans Saints needs to be aware of bogus tickets and take a few steps to make sure the tickets they buy privately are good, according to a Better Business Bureau media release. The road to Super Bowl XLVII will wind through Seattle in 2014, and fall right into Better Business
[ STRENGTH from page 10] after a double overtime thriller over Lynwood in the regional round a year ago. “Our chemistry off the court, but on the court as well (is a strength) because we’ve played together for so long,� Johnson said. “It’s weird. Sometimes coach says it seems like we know where we’re going to be before we get there.� Johnson and Toeaina said that right now the plan is to do well in league to make it back to the playoffs. “It’s important for us to focus on the task at hand and not look too far ahead,� Johnson said. “Knowing it’s our last year together, we want to go out with a bang.� One game circled on the calendar is the
• Call a timeout. Avoid sellers that fail to provide contact information or prefer to conduct transactions privately. When buying tickets from local sellers, meet them in well-lit public places and bring a friend. Check bbb.org and don’t be left cheering alone this postseason.
remember that great last-minute deals could turn out too-good-tobe-true.â€? In the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl, ticket seekers will be “rushingâ€? online classifieds in hopes of finding private dealers willing to sell off valuable tickets. However, BBB reminds consumers to stick with their playbooks: • Spot the fakes. Learn how real tickets look and feel; watch for flimsy paper, smeared ink and uneven margins. When in doubt, walk away. • Go with star players. Use reliable and verifiable ticket sellers and resellers that hold vendors responsible for ticket authenticity. • Avoid the sack. Never wire funds to make purchases. Use credit cards online and dispute the charges if tickets don’t arrive or turn out to be fakes.
TAKE THE SOUNDER TRAIN FROM KENT TO THE SEAHAWKS POSTSEASON GAMES Fans can take Sounder trains to one of the biggest Seattle Seahawks games this season. Following the Seahawks’ NFC West win last month, fans can grab their game gear and hop aboard Sound Transit’s popular Sounder trains to
rematch with Kentridge — the lone loss for Kentwood in league this season — set for Jan. 16 on the Conks home floor. “We’re excited to play them again,� Toeaina said. DeLong added, “We just want to redeem ourselves. That was not Kentwood basketball. Our practices have gotten harder. We’re just preparing for the tough teams we have to come against.� Another contest Kentwood’s players look forward to is Mount Rainier, which features twin hoops stars Brittany and Jordan McPhee. Johnson said that she and Toeaina have played against the McPhees since fifth grade.

the 1:35 p.m. Saturday playoff game against the New Orleans Saints at CenturyLink Field. The cost of a one-way fare from Kent to Seattle is $3.50. Special Sounder service will run in addition to regular Link light rail service to and from the stadiums. Inbound trains from the south depart Lakewood at 9:50 and 10:30 a.m. and Sumner at 10:37 a.m. The first train leaving Lakewood is an express service that stops in South Tacoma, Tacoma and Puyallup before continuing directly to Seattle, where it arrives at King Street Station at 10:57 a.m. The second train departs Sumner at 10:37 a.m. with stops in Auburn, Kent and Tukwila before reaching Seattle at 11:19 a.m. A third train leaves Lakewood at 10:30 a.m. and stops at all southline Sounder sta-
“It’s a high level of competition,� Johnson said. “We recognize that, so, that’s something that we have to rise to the occasion when we play them.� Games against the Rams will prepare the Conks for the kind of tough match ups they should expect later in the season as well as the playoffs. Johnson explained the girls have worked on their defense as well as those games that come down to the last play. Toeaina explained that Kentwood’s girls basketball team has goals as do many of the individual players. They can count on what they learned at in the state tournament a year ago to help them go further this year. “It shows that it’s possible for us to play
tions before arriving at King Street Station at 11:43 a.m. Fans should note train departure times after the game. Return trains to Lakewood will depart King Street Station 10, 20 and 45 minutes after the game ends. An online schedule of Sounder trains serving Seahawks games is available at http://www.soundtransit.org/ Schedules/Event-services/Seahawks. Link light rail serves 13 stations in downtown Seattle, SODO, Beacon Hill, Rainier Valley, Tukwila and SeaTac. Link’s Stadium Station is a four-block walk from CenturyLink Field. For complete Sounder and Link schedule information, go to www. soundtransit.org/schedule. Regular fares will apply for all Sound Transit services. ORCA and all standing transit passes will be accepted.
up at that level,� Toeaina said. “We have the experience to get there.� Johnson said they won’t be satisfied with another trip to the eight-team bracket, though. “Just getting there isn’t enough,� Johnson said. “We have to win at the (Tacoma) Dome.� DeLong explained that the biggest take away from the experience is to not let the atmosphere of the state tournament get to you as a player. “We’ve just got to want it more than other teams,� DeLong said. “We’ve just got to leave everything on the court every single game and we’ll climb our way to the top. State is like any other game.�

Providing Complete Plumbing & Heating Services in King County Since 1964
Heating Season is Here! Check out our Furnace Tune-up Special Below!
Q/A | with David Brown – Owner, Fox Plumbing & Heating “How did Fox Plumbing & HeatQ ing get started?” :
A
: Virgil Fox started the company in 1964; even as a young man, I loved “hands on work” and was proud to be a tradesman. I joined the company in 1973 and thrived in the environment of high standards and hard work. By 1979 I was half owner of the company, purchasing it in its entirety in 1983. I was dedicated to the value of quality service at a fair price and understood the importance of keeping every customer, since then I’ve expanded but maintained our deep commitment to integrity and quality work. Our customers tell us time and time again that we are the most trustworthy plumbing service in King County.
Q
:
“What plumbing services do you offer? And do you do both repair and installation?”
A
: If it has to do with pipes and water, we have the skilled workforce to both fix ailing systems and install new systems. We work in old and new homes as well as in businesses and commercial environments – we are experts in fixing old systems. We’re not always looking to sell people something new; if it can be fixed we fix it. We offer a full range of plumbing services from sewers to hot water tanks. We help our customers save money by offering plumbing system tune-ups, which are continually growing in popularity because they save people on the cost of repairs by catching problems early. We’re very excited to announce that
the problem. After an emergency many of our customers participate in our $99 annual Plumbing Tune-up program, which saves them hundreds even thousands of dollars in the long run and they are seeing great improvements in their plumbing systems.
we have expanded and now service and install all types of heating, furnaces and air conditioning, too. We are committed to our customers and to our staff, providing on-going training to make sure our technicians are simply the best trained in the business.
Q “Do you guarantee your services?” A :
: Absolutely, we have the best written warranties in the business. We provide our customers with the right price for the service and then guarantee the work. We have received the best service award from Angie’s list for over 6 years and are always top rated. Our customers will tell you about their experience with Fox Plumbing and Heating and we encourage them to do so. 80% of our new business comes from current customer referrals, we’re proud of this record and intend to continue it, every customer is important to us, I’ve built this whole business around satisfied customers, when we say “it’s all about service”, we mean it.
an emergency, what’s the best thing to do? What about afterhours and on Q “In the weekends?” :
A
: Call us 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Pipes, sewers, water heaters, toilets, sinks and furnaces can’t tell time and often chose the worst time to act up and break down. We get this and have experts available to assist you whenever you need it, at your home or business. We have dispatchers and technicians on call 24 hours per day. On our website we have emergency water shut off videos to help people in times of emergency. It’s understandable that most people don’t even think of their plumbing until something goes wrong, we often get our best customers through our response to an emergency, we’re there and we fix
I have used FOX Plumbing several times over the years for various problems. Prior to calling them I had used 2 other local companies and found them more interested in selling their products than fixing my problems. FOX has always been responsive, they explain what needs to be done, why and how they will do it--and at a reasonable cost. I own an older home and their staff know their stuff, they are polite and thoughtful of the customers needs. - Nancy Travis, Seattle
