Clinton clubber, boxing champ opens gym that’s solid as a rock By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Anyone who had the New Year’s resolution: “Learn boxing from a women’s title holder living on Whidbey Island” now has that opportunity. Dakota Stone, a 14-year professional women’s middleweight pugilist and Clinton resident, has opened her own gym, Solid Stone Boxing Gym. After moving to Clinton, she prepared for
a World Boxing Council title fight against Christy Martin back in 2009, but lost by decision. They fought again in 2011 at the Staples Center — home of the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers — and Stone won after Martin’s hand was injured. Around that time, she expressed a desire to open her own gym, the kind she had always wanted to go to but never found. Now, that dream is realized and in a manner grander than Stone ever imagined.
She has five different classes that meet in the afternoons, Monday through Thursday. Two of the sessions are for children, split between seven to 11 years old and 12 to 14. Just because they are tailored for kids does not mean the drills and exercises are child’s play. They hit a speed bag for two minutes, take a 30-second break, then move to another station: SEE BOXING, A20
Langley’s priority: boosting business in 2014 By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record
Ben Watanabe / The Record
Langley City Councilwoman Rene Neff speaks at a recent workshop on city priorities in 2014.
If this year goes the way Langley’s mayor and city council envision, it will be a business boon and step into modernity. Mayor Fred McCarthy shared his economic development plan with the Langley City Council last week, and it’s full of ideas of how to spur growth in the Village by the Sea. One of the top priorities is a bit of re-branding with business owners, residents and visitors.
“Between the parking situation and the tourism perception, we need to change the conversation,” said Councilwoman Rene Neff, referring to a popular complaint that parking is a rare commodity in the city. Instead of lamenting vacant storefronts on First and Second streets, city leaders want to focus on the potential. “Our self-talk should be that these buildings are opportunities,” McCarthy said.
Highly visible businesses like the former Mike’s Place restaurant and Dog House Tavern, both located at the intersection of First Street and Anthes Avenue, are empty. While the tavern is owned by a couple with plans to convert the old watering hole into an upper-story residence with a street-level community space, Mike’s Place has been up for lease since July 2011.

citizens group starts jet noise complaint line By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record Citing a lack of trust for the Navy’s public input hotline, the Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve has created its own jet-noise complaint hotline. The Navy resumed touchand-go operations Monday, Jan. 6, at Outlying Field Coupeville. Residents in the area have complained about the increase in the number of operations at OLF in recent years. COER sued the Navy in July and are calling for the closure of OLF. “When the planes resume flying over our homes, schools, and hospital, we’ll be ready to take complaint calls,” said Michael Monson, president of COER. “Callers can talk to real people starting on Thursday, Jan. 9 and not a recorded voice. We expect complaints from all of Whidbey Island and beyond.” The Navy created a new complaint line and online complaint form last year in response to community concerns about noise. Monson said the COER hotline is needed because “many people do not trust the Navy to keep track of complaints or to treat them seriously.” It is COER’s intention to keep track of the complaints it receives and forward them to the Navy, according to a COER news release. COER also plans to analyze the complaints and use them to support their argument for the closure of OLF and transfer of the EA-18 Growlers, which perform the touch-and-gos at the airfield, to another base. “Aircraft noise, in particu-
lar low-altitude over-flights, is a public health issue that must be addressed to reduce the negative health outcomes of community members. COER looks forward to assisting people who are being harmed by unsafe noise levels in the coming weeks, by listening and recording their comments,”said Monson. “Requests for anonymity will be respected.” In an emailed statement, the Navy said that it takes the obligation to communicate with the public very seriously. Not only does the Navy attempt to respond to concerns, but it hopes to impart “an understanding of operations that do impact them as a result of training and operations that occur on the base.” “We will contact folks who provide us feedback. We have incorporated new processes, improved others, and taken steps to inform the public about our operations. We also work with elected leadership from the communities to discuss concerns and look for mutually beneficial mitigations.” In reference to COER’s new hotline, the Navy said that base personnel will con-

tinue to “respond to citizens that contact us directly, however we will not communicate through other groups to provide feedback to citizens.” “We encourage people to continue using the processes we have established. Every comment is viewed by several different officials in the command, and we communicate with members of the public on a daily basis. It’s important for everyone to understand that while we take their concerns seriously and understand the impacts our operations may have on them, we will tell them what we can.” COER claims to have more than 3,000 supporters. The Sierra Club and the National Parks Conservation Association recently joined COER in opposing Growler training flights at OLF Coupeville. COER’s toll free complaint hotline number is 800830-4078. Monson said it will be staffed 24 hours a day.

Sparks fly over noise disclosure By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve President Michael Monson has consistently maintained he never received a jet noise disclosure when he bought his home in Coupeville. A real estate broker, however, said that’s incorrect. After checking records a few weeks ago, a Windermere Real Estate broker said that he discovered Monson had, in fact, initialed a noise disclosure form, apparently at the time he purchased his home. The disclosure that Monson allegedly initialed is Form 22W, a Multiple Listing Service-endorsed form widely used since 1993 by Whidbey Island real estate agents. Windermere representative Joe Mosolino commented online last week that Monson did receive, and initialed, Noise Disclosure Form 22W on Sept. 9, 2003. “As a leader of the COER group, and the self-purported honest man he is, we should see a retraction of his statements and a correction on his website any moment now,” Mosolino posted on the Whidbey NewsTimes website. Monson calls Mosolino’s statement a personal attack, and criticized him for releasing private information. Monson asked that Mosolino’s post be removed from the News-Times website. “This is what Windermere thinks of your privacy,” Monson said. On Jan. 3, however, Monson forwarded
to the News-Times a Dec. 26 email correspondence from another Windermere Real Estate representative informing Monson that a “signed around” copy of Form 22W in his real estate purchase agreement was attached and sent to him for his review. On Dec. 26, Monson replied to the Windermere representative, “I appreciate your prompt reply. Hope you aren’t allergic to the dust that I’m sure was on the file!” Monson subsequently declined to provide the newspaper with a copy of the initialed Form 22W, saying in an email, “Why would I send you a worthless form?” Monson maintains that he didn’t receive proper disclosure as to the level of jet noise he would experience at his home. Last month, Island County issued a memo concluding that two noise disclosures currently exist in county code to be used for different purposes. One disclosure is found in the county’s building code and another in the “Airport and Aircraft Operations Noise Disclosure Ordinance,” the latter to be used for real estate transactions. Currently, local realtors give prospective homebuyers a version of the shorter building code disclosure issued by the MLS, and does not include the outlined language of the “Airport and Aircraft Operations Noise Disclosure Ordinance.” For that reason, Monson is maintaining that he never received proper disclosure, calling Form 22W a “fraudulent non-disclosure statement.”

A burning ember simmering in a dust pile prompted the evacuation of Coupeville Middle and High School Wednesday afternoon. At approximately 1:30 p.m., maintenance supervisor Scott Losey was in the process of changing a belt in the air handling unit for the woodworking/metalworking building at Coupeville High School. He discovered a small ember and burning dust. The fire alarm was triggered and students in both schools were evacuated to a playing field next to the gym building, according to information from the Coupeville School District. Students returned to class approximately 25 minutes later. Losey was able to extinguish the small fire, which was contained within the metal ductwork. Firefighters from Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue responded to the alarm. They were on site shortly after the alarm sounded. Superintendent Jim Shank expressed appreciation for the quick response from Losey and the fire department, and the students and staff who followed fire drill procedures to quickly evacuate. “Staff handled it great and students handled it great,” Shank said.

Sound Waters: Teaching about Puget Sound for 19 years “The goal is to help people better understand the place where we live, and how we can be better stewards.” — Linda Ade Ridder By SARA HANSEN South Whidbey Record For anyone wanting to learn more about Puget Sound, Beach Watchers is holding a one-day university with 65 classes next month. Sound Waters, now in its 19th year, was started after the first Beach Watchers organization was formed. The program is a Washington State University Extension service which brings volunteers together to educate the public about Puget Sound. “I’m trying to do my bit to save the planet,” said Julie Ward, publicity chairwoman for Sound Waters. About 550 to 600 people attend the event, said cochairwoman Linda Ade Ridder. Many people who are a part of Beach Watchers want to preserve what the area has, but also they want to do more than write a check, Ward said. “There’s a lot of passion,” Ward said. “Sound Waters is put on by volunteers.” Twenty people comprise the core of the Sound Waters committee. All of the volunteers are part of Beach Watchers, so they’ve completed 100 hours of program training, Ade Ridder said. “It’s a great group to work with,” she said. “It makes being chair pretty easy.” This year’s keynote speaker is William Steele, a 20-year veteran of the University of Washington Seismology Lab. Steele will talk about the Cascadia Fault Zone, earthquake hazards and efforts to build an effective early warning system. “If there was a 9.0 earthquake off the coast, even here in the Sound we would feel effects,” Ade Ridder said. Steele’s keynote speech will open the one-day university. Attendees then can focus on any area they want, Ward said. Classes range from basic fishing techniques, native cul-

There will be three sessions for classes: a morning, early afternoon and mid-afternoon session. About half of the classes are new this year. Sue Salveson, program chairwoman, was in charge of locating speakers for the class. To find new class topics, Salveson said she read through the news to find issues that affect the local
marine environment. She then contacted the spokespersons of the organizations to come speak at the event. Experts have also approached her about participating, and she’s received
referrals. “It’s mostly just people who have a great story to tell and are willing to give up a Saturday and speak to the public,” Salveson said. Salveson joined Beach Watchers in 2012, so she’s a “newbie” compared to other volunteers. “I really am excited about learning and giving the opportunity for other people to learn about our environment,” Salveson said. “It’s energizing. We want to keep getting information out there for people who want to learn about it.” Because of all the new classes, there’s a lot of information people haven’t heard before, Salveson said. Some of the new classes include bald eagle ecology,

keep programs going. Online registration opened Jan. 4 and will continue through Jan. 25. Online registration takes priority, Ward said. People can try to register the day of, but they’ll have to take their chances on what classes are left. Class sizes are between 20 to 30 people. Everyone is able to attend the keynote speaker, Ward said. The first time Ward attended the event in 2011, the main topic was titled “Puget Sound: What’s In Our Water and Why Does It Matter?,” which was also known as “cinnamon and spice and things not so nice.” “Everything we eat ends up out there,” Ward said. “Everything you do on land affects the water.” Because of the popularity of the topic, it will be one of the returning classes this year. “It’s neat to be around 500 people who care about our waters,” Ward said. “It’s a buzz to have people who want to do something.”

Editorial
Concerns lay in response to audit It’s no secret that many people in Island County, particularly those with a more conservative bent, are skeptical about the fare-free bus service provided by Island Transit. Some people see tax dollars being wasted to transport a handful of people up and down the island. The same people are dubious about the new Island Transit facility on State Highway 20, which has been described as needlessly palatial digs. While such characterizations are unfair, Island Transit Executive Director Martha Rose must certainly be aware that the perception is out there. Which is why she must make a great effort to show the community that she’s accountable for every penny from taxpayers spent and that the transit operation is as efficient as possible. So it’s very disappointing that the state Auditor’s Office issued a finding against Island Transit for the second time. The Accountability Audit Report issued Dec. 30 states that transit officials “did not adequately monitor take-home vehicles and fuel card use to ensure they are only used for official purposes.” Certain transit employees are allowed to drive vehicles home so they can respond to emergencies and service needs at all hours. They were supposed to report mileage on a weekly basis, but the auditors found that 11 of the 12 home vehicles tested didn’t report mileage every week. Employees with assigned vehicles didn’t document where they were driving the vehicle and for what purpose, the auditors reported. The issue was essentially the same finding auditors reported in 2011. Rose claimed she was surprised by the recent finding and said changes suggested by auditors had already been implemented. The fact that she was caught off-guard is as troubling as the findings themselves. Findings identified in accountability audits can breed distrust in public agencies. And what about the board of directors for the Island County Public Transportation Benefit Area? The board is made up of elected officials from the county and the three municipalities on the island. They should also be held accountable for the findings. Rose has created a transit system that is, in many ways, a model for other agencies. She has shown that fare-free transit is actually more efficient and cost-effective than dealing with the complications of a system in which drivers have to collect loose change from riders. Going forward, Rose and the board of directors need to ensure that the operation is airtight from an auditor’s perspective. And a little public relations might help. Many people in the community don’t fully understand what Island Transit does or what it is. There’s a common misconception that it’s part of county government, when it’s an agency unto itself. Island Transit is planning an open house at the new facility in May. We encourage the community to attend.

Letters In response
Mastiff Baloo is no “bully dog” Editor, This is a letter in response to Merritt Clifton’s article regarding “bully dogs at Greenbank Farm.” I am the owner of the mastiff, Baloo, that Clifton alleges “lunged” at him. I sympathize with anyone that has come in contact with an aggressive dog and concur that off-leash dogs should be under voice command. Some dogs are aggressive and owners should take precautions not to take these dogs to public recreation areas. I would, however, like to clarify my interaction with Clifton. My children, Baloo and I were walking at Greenbank Farm. Clifton ran down a hill toward us. He stopped, and Baloo, 4, was 5 yards in front of us and stopped as well. Baloo did a playful frisk — a play bow — and skirted around Clifton. I said, “It’s OK, he’s not at all aggressive.” Clifton waved his arms around and replied, “That’s what they all say.” My response was that if he didn’t want to come into contact with dogs, why was he running at an off-leash dog park. Many people in the community are familiar with Baloo. He is a family dog that is entirely docile with children and every breed and demeanor of dog — the epitome of the gentle giant. It is absurd to say he has ever lunged in an aggressive manner. Despite Clifton’s selfproclaimed expertise, his article and photo reflect the defensive and aggres-
sive personality I came into contact with. I’ll chalk it up to his bad experiences. For that, I’m sorry. I am also a runner and 30-year resident of Whidbey Island. As the population grows, our many recreation areas become designed for different uses. There are two local areas for our dogs to run free, Double Bluff and Greenbank Farm. Runners and walkers should feel safe enjoying these areas as well. If they do not, there are numerous running trails and beaches that are dog free. Sincerely, responsible dog owner, LILA BROWNE Freeland

ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENTS: TRACY’S JANUARY CLEARANCE
ing customized care packages that were delivered just before Christmas. In all, there were more than 50 individuals served — all thanks to the help from our community. In total, Senior Services collected $11,829 in goods, services and cash donations that will go directly towards helping those in need. Much of this was composed of the amazing gifts provided within the care packages and included things like grocery gift cards, salon gift certificates, food, PSE assistance, clothing and toiletries. The generosity was quite literally breathtaking. A great team of volunteers made the deliveries. We were met with many surprised faces, tears and hugs. One senior stated that this really made him feel like a part of the Senior Services family. Another stated that he’d never received so many gifts, even as a child. This sentiment was echoed by a senior woman who exclaimed, “Now I know how little kids feel!” She’d lost one of her sons before the holidays many years
ago and has struggled ever since. Her other son does not live locally so she spends her holidays alone. “This is like a dream come true.” This woman had a particularly rough year with her health. Her package contained a handmade quilt, a gift card to help her repair her broken furnace and some money to aid with her electric bill. It is difficult to put into words the amount of appreciation we have towards our community at this moment. We see a great deal of need each day and consistently wish we could do more for our clients. It has been wonderful to see families, individuals and businesses come together to brighten the holidays for those in need. It was an honor to be able to present these gifts on behalf of the sponsors. We couldn’t have done it without the help from so many, and for that we would like to offer our sincerest gratitude towards all who helped make it possible.

Whidbey wrestling struggles with illnesses
Briefly
By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record
Ben Watanabe / The Record
South Whidbey Falcon senior Madi Boyd drives past Sultan Turk junior Khayla Mackenzie in the second quarter of the Cascade Conference game Friday, Jan. 10 at South Whidbey High School. The Turks ran away to a 51-22 victory behind a stifling full-court trap defense.
Turks’ trap defense foils Sultan erases 19-point Falcon girls basketball deficit, beats Falcon boys The Sultan Turks stifled the South Whidbey girls basketball team Friday night in a 51-22 win at South Whidbey High School. The Turks held the Falcons to five points in the first half behind a full-court trap defense that forced plenty of turnovers and quick layups. At halftime, Sultan held a 28-5 lead and kept up the pace on offense in the second half. Falcon junior Abby Hodson and freshman Megan Drake tied as the team’s leading scorers at six points each. South Whidbey has yet to win in Cascade Conference play, while the victory boosted Sultan to 3-2 in conference and 4-6 overall.
Leading 60-49 with 9:30 left to play, South Whidbey watched its lead evaporate as Sultan’s boys basketball team went on a 22-0 run into the fourth quarter and held on to win 84-72 on Friday night. Sultan’s defense led the way, forcing turnover after turnover by South Whidbey to rally from the 11-point deficit and surge ahead. South Whidbey committed 19 turnovers in the Cascade Conference game. Falcon junior Parker Collins tied for a game-high 24 points with Sultan’s Giovanni Williams. CJ Sutfin chipped in 15 points and Nick French scored 14 points in his second game this season after rehabilitating an injured left knee.
The victory lifted Sultan to 4-1 in conference play and 7-2 overall. South Whidbey looked to grab a .500 winning percentage against Archbishop Murphy (3-2 conference, 3-8 overall) at home Tuesday before hitting the road against Granite Falls on Friday.
Whidbey Reign rules over Tukwila team The Whidbey Reign U-17 soccer team held off TUSK, a team from the South Seattle areas of TukwilaSkyway, 1-0 on Sunday in a playoff match. Whidbey scored in the second half on a goal by Andy Zisette, set up by a pass from Jeffrey Meier. Reign head coach Terry Swanson SEE REIGN, A9
Postseason matches are only a few weeks away, and the South Whidbey wrestling team got a good look at its upcoming competition. Wrestling in the Sgt. Justin Norton Memorial tournament at Rainier High School on Saturday, South Whidbey finished in 10th place out of 16 teams. It broke the streak of top-three finishes by the Falcons in each of the three tournaments, but head coach Jim Thompson hopes it sent an important message to wrestlers. “These are the guys you gotta beat to get to state,” he said. After a dual meet two days earlier against Sultan, Thompson was upset with the way many of the Falcons wrestled. They struggled with escaping, keeping their weight low and finishing a takedown. There were a few matches in that showdown where South Whidbey’s wrestlers failed to score a point. Against myriad opponents, many ranked in their WIAA classifications by washingtonwrestlingreport.com, the Falcons rose up and won at least one match. “I was OK because I didn’t have anybody go two and out, which was pretty nice,” Thompson said of the Norton Memorial, later adding that the Falcons had plenty of improvement ahead of them, including escaping holds. “Guys were getting ridden out for close to two periods.” South Whidbey’s top finisher was senior Jose Chavez
in the 182. In the first round, he defeated Kalama sophomore Spencer Richardson with a pin in 40 seconds. After a second-round bye, Chavez was defeated 5-1 by Castle Rock senior Chase Lam. Chavez won his final bout in the consolation bracket 10-5 against Kalama sophomore Carl Hausserman. Four other South Whidbey wrestlers finished in fifth place, including a bout in the 160-pound class that pitted Falcon against Falcon. Seniors Kyrell Broyles, the team’s varsity 160-pound wrestler, and James Itaya battled in the consolation bracket. In a bit of an upset, Itaya emerged with a 4-3 victory over Broyles from what was a light-hearted match between friends. “We were just joking around and laughing,” Itaya said of grappling with Broyles, only the second time they have faced off in a match. Trevor Miller, a Falcon junior, benefited from a smaller field in the 220-pound class to a fifth-place finish. He quickly pinned Tenino’s Riley Noonan in 39 seconds. The second match proved more difficult, as Miller faced Rochester junior Matt Shields, ranked sixth in 1A. Thompson said Miller had a shot at finishing a takedown, but was rolled and pinned by Shields in 5:02. Two Falcons battled not only other wrestlers, but illnesses as well.

Discussion of using both spaces has swirled among business leaders and council members. During the winter holiday shopping season, the tavern’s windows were decorated. That’s a short-term patch to a long-term problem, city leaders said, noting that the tavern’s owners requested a public-private partnership for the space. Part of the tavern building is on a city easement, and owners Charlie and Janice Kleiner requested it be made part of their property so they could build structures to prevent the hundred-year-old building’s floors from further developing a “jog” or sag. Just such a partnership is part of McCarthy’s plans for revitalizing Langley. Another idea is to have a building erected at the bottom of Wharf Street, perhaps into the bluff, with public access connecting Cascade Avenue with the marina, like one proposed by Inn at Langley owner Paul Schell. “It’s very important for us to be open to those,” McCarthy said. The mayor also presented a month-by-month plan for the city’s focus. January will be information technology and knowledge workers; arts and entertainment in February; food and beverage service in March;
Page A9
real estate in April; port/marina/water sports in May; light manufacturing/“cottage industries” in June; civic groups in July; retail and health and wellness in August; financial services and mail in September; education in October; lodging in November; and transportation and recreation in December. A three-part approach to the city’s goals this year centers around employment, business development and capital projects. One of the largest in recent years is the impending Second Street overhaul of the road and its subsurface utilities. Other projects listed by the mayor include street paving, repairing the steps, lighting and planters at Boy and Dog Park, painting the library, city restrooms and Langley Chamber of Commerce building, supporting private and public partnerships, and designating light industrial areas. The long list of capital projects elicited a word of caution from new Councilwoman Margot Jerome. “Maybe we need to do fewer projects and do them right,” she said. One point of emphasis was bringing Langley’s businesses into the digital forefront with social media training. Having a presence online on Facebook, Instagram and understanding how to use PayPal could help growth, McCarthy said.

Holocaust survivor tells tale of strength and forgiveness By CELESTE ERICKSON South Whidbey Record
N
oémi Ban has lived through some of the darkest moments of this past century, from surviving Nazi genocide to life in post-war Soviet occupation. At 91, her life in Bellingham is now dedicated to sharing her experiences in the hopes that such atrocities will never, ever, be repeated. Her record of strength and forgiveness will be told during an assembly for the upcoming Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday, at 10 a.m. Friday, Jan. 17, at South Whidbey High School. Ban will share stories from her life in the Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps, including her escape to freedom. For Ban, sharing the worst parts of her life with others has a power — hearing it from a living person strikes home the message in a way a book never can. “If you see that person who it happened to, it makes a lot of difference,” Ban said. Ban’s story begins in Hungary, where she was born as the oldest of three Schönberger — her maiden name — children. After the Germans invaded in 1944, Ban, 21 at the time, and her family were split up. Her father

The Swell Book Club will meet at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 15, at Freeland Library. January’s discussion book is “The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Color Blindness‚“ by Michelle Alexander.

The group meets monthly on the third Wednesday.

The funds remaining in the treasury will be donated to four local charities: Helping Hands, Good Cheer Food Bank,

double end bag, heavy bag, hand speed drills with a couple of weighted balls, sit ups, or a reflex bag that mimics the countermoves of an opponent. “My mom’s always bugging me about exercise, which I don’t really like because it’s competitive,” said Miranda Cassee, a 13-yearold Clinton girl with a fierce left hook.

And the sport, nicknamed the sweet science, is totally catching on with children, their parents and other Whidbey Island residents, solely by word of mouth, Stone said. Cassee’s mom was full of accolades for Stone’s boxing gym and its impact on her daughter. “This is a pretty spectacular setup,” said Cait Cassee, Miranda’s mother, who knows a thing or two about creating spaces for young people as Whidbey Children’s
Theater’s executive director. “Dakota’s incredible. She knows how to make it accessible to kids.” A filing cabinet drawer has more than a hundred names, people who have popped in at least once, though Stone said many return. She has yet to advertise, and opened the gym last year with the intention of training a handful of people. “It’s the only way for me to stay in shape, too,” Stone laughed. As the group of middle school boxing students, and especially when the next class of seven to 11 years olds work out, move from station to station, some bemoan about tired arms, sore legs, needing a water break.

Analyze Price Carefully!
What’s the right price to pay for your next home? How can you be sure the price you are being asked to pay is fair? Who sets the price? The asking price is set by the owners, and should be based on accurate information about other homes recently sold, as well as those for sale now. This information is helpful in establishing a price that is neither above nor below “fair market value” When priced at “fair market” a home may sell quickly and a full price. This occurs because buyers recognize the value offered by the home in relation to the price asked. There is often brisk competition among buyers for a home in excellent condition offered at a competitive price. Buyers can determine whether a home is priced fairly using the same methods as an agent – by comparison Establish criteria for your purchase, i.e. number of rooms, location, price range, square footage, etc. Once you know the parameters within which you will make sure your purchase, ask the agent to show you homes that match your list of features and amenities. See a variety of homes, compare size, features and location versus asking price. Certain homes will stand out because they offer added value for the price. Ask questions, compare and your pricing concerns can disappear leading to the wise purchase of the right home.

comes quickly but softly, in comparison to someone whose name is an apt description of her fists and what it must feel like to receive the force of her punch. Usually, when her students look for a bit of respite during the two-minute drills, she just reminds them to keep swinging, keep crunching, another minute, another 30 seconds. “Hit those bags, hit ’em hard. Hit the speed bag,” she said. Yet for all the physicality of her gym, Stone is adamant that she offers a safe space for people, and especially women and children, to quite literally try their hands at boxing. “For the majority of women, it’s too hard, socially at least, and they leave,” said Stone of many women’s experiences at boxing gyms, historically a domain of men. The first World Championship for women’s boxing was in 2001 and it was not an Olympic sport until the 2012 Olympics in London. When Stone was actively seeking fights, she traveled to a gym in Renton to train at least three times a week. Her Ken’s Korner boxing gym has just about everything she needs: space, bags, lights. It is missing one noticeable piece of boxing equipment: a boxing ring. Buying a ring — between $3,000 and $8,000 — is in the works, however, and Stone said she may seek crowdsource funding through a Kickstarter campaign in the next few months. Stone is still an active fighter, though her last match was an unverified loss in Costa Rica to Hanna Gabriel in January 2012. The Clinton clubber hopes she will get a rematch within the next six months. After that, her focus will solely be on the gym, a longtime dream come true.
