City Council appoints Fincher Committed to community work, woman replaces Sharp

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

Brenda Fincher’s years of community involvement helped persuade the Kent City Council to pick her to fill the vacant council seat.

The council appointed Fincher on Tuesday night with a 6-0 vote to replace Ken Sharp, who resigned in January after just two weeks into his four-year term because of pending first-degree theft charges.

The council interviewed seven finalists before going into executive session for about 45 minutes to discuss the candidates. The council reopened the public meeting and voted for Fincher, who then took her oath of office.

Taking the oath: City Clerk Ronald Moore swears in Brenda Fincher as City Councilmember.

Trader Joe’s decided to open a neighborhood grocery store this fall in Kent partly because of a location close to high-quality housing and higher-household incomes.

Kurt Hanson, city economic development manager, told the City Council at its Feb. 18 meeting what helped attract Trader Joe’s to the MarketPlace at Lake Meridian shopping center at the northwest corner of 132nd Avenue Southeast and Southeast Kent-Kangley Road.

“It has wonderful proximity to highquality housing,” said

Hanson, who noted the Meridian Valley Country Club is within a few miles of the shopping center.

Hanson said the average household income within a 3-mile radius of the site is about $86,000, much higher than the state’s average household income of $56,000.

He said the median home value in the area is $309,000 compared to the state average of $287,000. [ more TRADER JOE’S page 8 ]

BLACK HISTORY MONTH

Embracing culture, rejecting stereotypes Business owner hopes younger generation changes how it perceives words, labels

BY ROSS COYLE rcoyle@kentreporter.com

While February celebrates African-American culture over

hundreds of years, the month is typically associated with the civil rights movements and progress made by AfricanAmericans toward equal rights.

But sometimes just focusing on people, places and events can diminish the importance of understanding how black culture has developed in the

United States.

“From a historical standpoint, it shows the contributions that my ancestors have made to help make this country the greatest country in the world,” says Berry Crosby, a young entrepreneur in Kent. [ more CROSBY page 4 ]

Fun with liquid nitrogen: Maina, a Kent School District student, gasps as Heather Bonander shatters a rubber ball after immersing it in liquid nitrogen at the Feb. 7 Pacific Science Center’s Science on Wheels show at Millennium Elementary School.

Science on Wheels rolls into Kent schools

BY ROSS COYLE rcoyle@kentreporter.com

Apparently the key to getting a room full of elementary school children to pay attention is liquid nitrogen, some balloons and rubber balls.

At least that’s what the parents of those kids learned at the Pacific Science Center’s Science on Wheels display Feb. 7 at the Millennium Elementary School cafeteria. The programs visit schools in the Seattle area – and throughout Washington – providing various educational programs geared around science subjects from chemistry to physics to biology.

Science on Wheels got its start in the 1970s,

when PSC teachers would pack entire exhibits into their station wagons and take them to schools for displays, said Sam Chamberlain, who has worked with the productions for 20 years. Today the shows are significantly more self contained, but still manage to be intricate. The theme of the recent visit: liquid nitrogen and you, taught by Heather Bonander.

Bonander used liquid nitrogen to explain the different states of matter, showing how air in a balloon freezes into a solid, then melts to a liquid and eventually transitions back to a gas. Other experiments showed how nitrogen could freeze and shatter a solid object, or how immersing a

balloon in the chemical will shrink it to where it can be placed inside a bottle.

“I think they’re wonderful, I think we need more,” said Candie Meyers, a mother who brought her two daughters and son to the show. Her son, Jon, who she said likes to experiment with anything he can get his hands on, loved the show.

Meyers’ daughters in middle and high school said that While there are many demonstrations and exhibits for early grades, there are fewer opportunities to get them involved in science outside of class projects and the science fairs.

Moody’s removes city’s negative bond rating outlook

BY STEVE HUNTER

shunter@kentreporter.com

Moody’s Investors Service removed the city of Kent’s negative bond rating outlook because of its improved general fund budget but still says the city has a “somewhat weak” financial position.

New York-based Moody’s affirmed the Baa2 rating it gave to Kent in 2012 but revised the rating outlook to stable from negative on the city’s limited tax general obliga-

tion bonds (LTGO) outstanding in the amount of $61 million, according to the Feb. 6 Moody’s report.

Moody’s twice downgraded Kent’s bond rating in 2012, from Aa3 to A1 and then to Baa2. The company didn’t issue any reports on the city in 2013.

In Moody’s terms, an Aa3 rating means that the city has a very strong ability to meet its financial commitments while a rating of A1 represents that the city has a strong capacity to meet its financial

obligations, but is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligors in higher-rated categories.

Here’s a summary of the report: “The affirmation reflects the city’s still somewhat weak, though improved, financial position. Governmental fund balances have largely recovered with the exception of the Capital Improvements Fund, which owes $20 million to other city funds and carries a large negative

fund balance. The city’s financial difficulties are largely a result of operational and debt costs related to an underperforming events center (ShoWare Center) that the city supports, as well as the city’s own somewhat elevated debt costs.

“These challenges remain a key credit factor as the city plans to continue to support the events center and its related debt. The city’s local economy and large tax base remains credit strengths.”

Phillip retrial under way in Kent for Frankel murder suspect

The Kent Police Department is taking registrations for the Spring Community Police Academy.

Classes are on Wednesday evenings for six weeks beginning March 12, ending on April 16.

Applications are available at www.kentwa.gov/ CommunityPoliceAcademy//.

The classes are free. It is open to any adult, 18 years or older, that lives, works, or has an interest in the city of Kent and its police department. Space is limited and pre-registration is required.

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

The retrial of William L. Phillip Jr. for the 2010 killing of Seth Frankel, a former city of Kent employee and Auburn resident, started on Monday in Kent with pre-trial motions.

King County Superior Court jurors in December were unable to reach an unanimous verdict after a six-week trial, so the process starts all over this week. Pretrial motions are expected to take a couple of days followed by jury selection and then opening statements.

“Opening statements would occur next Monday at the earliest,” according to an email from Dan Donohoe, spokesman for the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.

The retrial could last four weeks or longer.

County prosecutors charged Phillip, 33, with first-degree murder for the stabbing death of Frankel at his Auburn home. Prosecutors claim Frankel and Phillip were in love with the same woman and that Phillip traveled to Auburn from Oregon to kill Frankel so he could have Bonny Johnson to himself.

Defense attorney Anuradha Luthra in her closing argument at the first trial said that the state had “the wrong person.” She said there was no witness who could put Phillip in Frankel’s house the night of his death and no witness who could give a reason why Phillip would kill Frankel.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers slowly begins annual spring fill of the reservoir in late February, allowing water levels to rise within Howard Hanson Dam’s reservoir.

It takes about three months to refill the reservoir.

King County voters in April to decide whether to help fund Metro REPORTER STAFF

King County voters will determine on the April 22 ballot whether an annual $60 vehicle license fee and 0.1 percent sales tax increase should be used to help pay for Metro bus service and road projects.

The Metropolitan King County Council, in its role

as the newly formed Transportation Benefit District, voted 9-0 on Monday to send the measure to voters.

The increase would boost the sales tax in the county to 9.6 percent for those who live within the Sound Transit district.

Under the measure, which would generate about $130 million annu-

ally, 60 percent would go to Metro and 40 percent to the county and cities for road and other transportation projects.

Kent would receive about $3 million from the measure for street repairs, according to city officials.

The amount distributed to each city would be based on population.

The council formed the

Transportation Benefit District in early February in order to send the measure to voters. County officials are trying to avoid Metro service cuts of 17 percent because of a lack of revenue.

The Transportation Benefit District is similar in structure to the King County Ferry District and King County Flood Control

District, with the members of the County Council acting as the board. The board will have the authority to acquire, construct, improve, provide and fund transportation improvements identified in the transportation plan of the Puget Sound Regional Council, the county or a city within the county.

Crosby has been a barber for 17 years, working in the Kent area for the past eight years and running his shop on Central Avenue for the past four. With the shop as close as it is to Kent Station, Crosby sees a number of different minority groups and income brackets as clientele.

Some of these groups identify themselves as “ghetto,” and Crosby says that this is a problem that needs to be addressed.

Since its coining in the early 1000s, the term ghetto has generally been applied to large minority and low-income areas. From the 1970s onward, the term became popular to describe inner-urban, racially segregated and impoverished areas.

“Some people see it as a term of endearment,” Crosby says. “I think it’s more – for some people culturally – an OK term to be associated with, and for me it’s not.”

With the rise of an affirmative stance on words and terms used against minorities, many have taken to appropriate the term ghetto and its associated styles and mannerisms and attempted to make them their own. Crosby says this is a dangerous habit, largely because it reinforces negative stereotypes of minority communities, especially AfricanAmerican communities.

“I think it’s pop culture,” Crosby says. “We have turned words that are considered derogatory and hurtful, and we have accepted it, like it’s supposed to be cool and make it like it’s

[ FINCHER from page 1 ] She will participate in her first council meeting on Tuesday.

“We had seven really qualified candidates and they all brought something just a little bit different to the table and that’s what most of our discussion centered around,” Council President Dana Ralph said. “Brenda has a lot of solid connections with the community. She has a history of involvement and a history of showing an ability to reach out to our diverse communities and an engagement with the community that is very

less offensive.”

In the process of doing so, however, Crosby says that people who adopt the “ghetto” attitude accept many of the associated traits that come with the term.

“It is associated with a negative behavior,” he says. “Some people say criminal, some people say just a disrespect, some people say no discipline, uneducated. There’s a lot of different connotations that can be associated with that word.”

The ramifications of this acceptance can be very damaging to a community’s appearance, whether it’s the way people in an area give off a first impression or how they feel it’s OK to treat others.

While some people can see it as a positive word, Crosby says, it still retains much of its meaning and connotations regardless of whether it’s used in a positive affirmative context.

“I think we need to be more educated about that word,” he says.

Using events like Black History Month to further educate youth about the cultural history of words is just as important as teaching them about people and events, he says.

To Crosby, Black History Month is more than just remembering dates, people and places. To him it’s important to put culture and ideas in context and help younger generations understand how words like ghetto came to be.

“It doesn’t mean the term is right to use, and that’s a very important lesson to learn.”

Fincher has lived in Kent for 25 years. She is an administrative assistant at Holy Spirit Catholic Church, which is across the street from City Hall.

She is a former president of the Kent Youth and Family Services board, a member of the Kent Black Action Commission, past president of the Kent-Meridian High School PTA and led development of the Kent women’s homeless shelter.

Fincher didn’t know what to expect when the council prepared to announce its decision. The other finalists were Jed Aldridge, Tina Budell, Barbara Phillips,

Nominations for a new president for Machinists Union District Lodge 751 will be on Tuesday, and elections will be on March 6.

The new president will serve out the remainder of former President Tom Wroblewski’s term in office. The term runs until Feb. 1, 2017.

Citing health concerns, the 59-yearold Wroblewski, of Kent, announced on Jan. 14 that he would retire.

Notice of the nominations and elections is posted at www.IAM751.org.

Nominees must be seated delegates to the union’s District Council. The council is a 35-member policy-setting body whose members are full-time employees at Boeing and other companies represented by District 751.

Nominations can be made by individual District Council delegates or alternates, or a group of 50 members could submit a petition nominating a seated delegate of their choice.

“Every District 751 president has faced great challenges, and so will the next one,” said Wroblewski. “However, the president the members choose also will have the honor of leading the greatest group of aerospace workers the world has ever seen.”

Debbie Raplee, Wade Schwartz and Sarah Veele.

Thirty-eight people applied for the position.

“Shock,” Fincher said about her reaction when she heard her name selected. “It was one of those am I dreaming moments.

I’m just elated.”

A West Hill resident, Fincher can’t wait to get started on the part-time job.

“I have the chance to touch the widest number of people,” Fincher said. “This city with the diversity issues, it’s been changing. The color of Kent has changed. I want to make sure everybody has a place where they

can come to talk to people and that we all can do the best we can for everybody in Kent. This city belongs to the people. I now work for the people of Kent and I serve the people of Kent. It’s wonderful.”

Fincher, who is divorced with two grown children who attended Kent schools and now has a grandson in the Kent School District, said the position gives her a chance to be involved and make a difference in a city she fell in love with.

“It’s like a clam shell opening up,” Fincher said.

“This is a great city. I have loved Kent. When I first moved here I said I’d be here three years if I didn’t like it and five years if I did like it. That was 25 years ago.”

Fincher will serve in an appointed role until the November 2015 election is certified. She is eligible to run for the position in 2015.

The council asked Fincher during her interview about her priorities as a council member.

“My top priority is making sure the families in Kent strive, have good jobs and that we have a strong place to recreate and shop and make Kent a place they want to be,” she said.

Officers respond to fight between two men in wheelchairs Kent Police arrested a man in a wheelchair for investigation of fourth-degree assault after he reportedly punched another man in a wheelchair about seven times in the head at a rehabilitation center.

Officers responded at about 12:19 p.m. Feb. 14 to a fight at the Benson Heights Rehab Center, 22410 Benson Road S.E., according to the police report.

Employees had broken up the fight between the two men at a hallway in the complex. The man who threw the punches said he became upset after the other man yelled and kicked at him, so he started to punch the man in the head.

The man struck by the punches had a cut on his head, according to officers.

Police transported the man who threw the punches to the city of Kent jail, but jail staff refused

to book the man because of his medical conditions.

Officers returned the man to the rehab center and told him he needed to stay away from the man he punched.

Theft Officers arrested an 18-year-old man for investigation of third-degree theft, minor in possession and obstructing after he allegedly stole two bottles of liquor from a store and then tried to run from police before a K9 unit caught him.

The incident occurred at about 1:23 a.m. Feb. 17 at the Meridian Valley Plaza, 13210 S.E. 240th St., according to the police report.

An officer on patrol saw a car with its lights on parked near the QFC store with few other vehicles around.

A store video showed the man taking two bottles from a liquor shelve and running out of the store.

Police found two bottles of Jagermeister in the bushes near the store. A store employee said the two bottles were valued at $69.

The arrested man asked police if the incident would exclude him from his dream of becoming a police officer.

Illegal camping Officers arrested a 47-year-old man and a 39-year-old woman for in-

vestigation of illegal camping after they were caught in a tent at about 1:51 p.m.

Feb. 15 in an undeveloped wooded area owned by the city of Kent.

Officers walked the wooded area in the 4300 block of South 231st Way because of reports of illegal camping, according to the police report.

Police discovered a tent and tarps as well as a man and a woman inside a tent.

Officers recognized the woman from a previous arrest for illegal camping a week prior at the same site.

The woman told police she had returned to the site to get her stuff and her friend came along to help her move. Officers transported the man and the woman to the city jail.

Undercover officers, part of a special investigations unit, were patrolling along Pacific Highway South when they saw a blonde woman near a bus stop in the 25200 block of Pacific Highway South, according to the police report.

Police watched the woman wave down a car and then get inside the car. Officers followed the car through several streets before the driver stopped in a dark area on a dead end road.

Officers approached the car. The driver initially told police he had met the

woman on a dating website and they were going to meet for a drink. But the woman said she had met the man through a friend at the Sunset Motel.

The man then changed his story and admitted to picking up the woman along the highway and planned to pay her for sex. “I was just horny, I guess,� he said.

Police cited the man for driving while his license was suspended.

The woman said she had worked for about a year as a prostitute. She had a syringe in her possession that she said she used to take meth.

Par 3 is Kent, so let’s keep it

Letters policy

The article in the Kent Reporter (“Let’s save Municipal Golf in Kent”, Feb. 14) is at best misleading and poses more questions than answers.

In a nutshell, the parks director wants to sell the par 3 and only keep the 18-hole golf course in order to “save golf in Kent.” But is this really saving golf in Kent? Is this really a commitment to help find a solution to save golf in Kent?

Let us make this very clear, par 3 is golf in Kent. Par 3 is an integral part of the golf complex. Par 3 has been here since 1962 and has served, and will continue to serve, the needs of the seniors and the youth of this community.

In his article, Mr. (Jeff ) Watling wrote about three options and a number of operating models that have been presented to the city in order to fix the budget deficit incurred during his tenure.

The Kent Reporter welcomes letters to the editor on any subject. Letters must include a name, address and daytime phone number for verification purposes.

Letters may be edited for length. Letters should be no more than 250 words in length.

Submissions may be printed both in the paper and electronically.

Deadline for letters to be considered for publication is 2 p.m. Tuesday.

Yet Mr. Watling only gravitates toward the idea of selling the par 3 without fully considering any other options. Instead of fixating on the sale of the par 3, Mr. Watling should refocus his attention and ask himself, “How did he get into this mess and how can he fairly and equitably resolve it?”

Mr. Watling’s desire for the golf course to be sustainable

In 2012, we went through a lengthy collaborative process with the city of Kent, elected officials and

business owners regarding the city’s adoption of the new business and occupation (B&O) tax to pay for street maintenance. The chamber was advised by the city that there was an emergency due to lack of funding for deferred street maintenance, and that funds

“Should fully funding the state’s basic education be the Legislature’s top priority?”

Cindy Prescott

Question of the week:

Whenever the issue of taxes comes up, there are sure to be strong opinions.

In fact, in the Feb. 7 Kent Reporter, a letter to the editor, “Where is the district’s financial accountability?,” expressed those strong opinions.

As a fourth-grade teacher who is on leave to take on the responsibilities of the Kent Education Association presidency, I also have strong opinions about levies and taxes. I wanted to share some additional information about levies and the Kent School District (KSD).

One question asked in the letter to the editor was about the nonprofit organization Citizens for Kent Schools, which put out promotional materials and held activities for the Kent community about the levy that just passed on Feb. 11 in the special election. The nonprofit organization is a group of citizens who feel strongly that support for our local schools is important. Some members are from the community and some are teachers or school district employees. But all are working as private citizens for a cause they believe in during their personal time.

Another question that was asked was about the flyer that Citizens for Kent Schools put out, stating the levy provided funds for one in five teachers in our award-winning classrooms. Education funding is complicated and it may not be widely known that state and federal funding to the school district does not cover all expenses. Many states find themselves in similar situations, and in this case, local levies are run to help bridge the gap.

This is the case in the KSD. Additionally, our brochure listed programs that could be restored with the passage of the levy. The author of the letter to the editor

collected from the business community through the B&O tax would be used to repair roads that were used heavily and allegedly damaged by commerce and the movement of goods. The city told the business community that $10-12 million dollars were required for critical overlay projects to prevent the closure of some streets within the

cannot, and will not, be attained by pouring more money into the actual problem. The problem will continue to exist until Kent has a strong, committed, innovative and accountable leader in place.

Unfortunately, right now, we do not have that.

The Committee to Save Par 3 has submitted proposals, ideas and measures to increase revenue and cut cost with the intention of paying the debt and, at the same time, saving the par 3. A private consulting firm was hired by the city of Kent to help handle the debt, but this idea was dismissed as well.

The parks director has only one thing in mind: sell the par 3 to cover up his failures and shortcomings which he attributes to bad weather and the poor economy. The council needs to look closely at the management and operation of the golf complex. Has anyone been held accountable for this mess? Why did it take six [ more LETTERS page 7 ]

city. It was due to this emergency situation that the Kent Chamber reluctantly agreed to support a B&O tax.

The current list of projects in 2014 proposed to be funded by B&O taxes includes: sidewalk replacements; line striping; retro-reflective sign replacement; thermoplastic marking; guardrail repairs; temporary personnel; traffic signals; street lights and a neighborhood traffic control program. [ more OUR TURN page 7 ]

www.kentreporter.com [ LETTERS from page 6 ] years to take corrective measures? The council should consider a debt relief program for the golf enterprise and at the same time review how it was managed and operated.

Management should always be held responsible and accountable, and if performances and expectations are not met, there should be consequences.

The par 3 committee hopes that the council will do the right thing and save the par 3.

This is a prudent way to be fair and equitable to the seniors and youth of the city.

If anyone wishes to join, help, or has any question for the Committee to Save the Par 3, please call the committee at 253-859-3019. Concerned

[ PRESCOTT from page 6 ] fiscal year of 2008. Local misunderstood and thought these programs exist presently in our school district.

He thought they would then be cut if the levy didn’t pass. In fact, these programs, fifth-grade band and orchestra, and elementary counselors and librarians, have already became victims of the Great Recession and lost their line item in the Kent School District budget.

The recession has resulted in 35 of the 48 states surveyed by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities providing less per pupil funding for K-12 education in 2013 than they did in the

school districts, such as Kent, have little ability to replace state aid. Thus, levies become necessary.

Last, and most important, is the point in the letter about the state Legislature coming up with an additional one billion dollars for education in the last session. Part of the one billion dollars was the savings the state realized in not funding smaller class sizes, called for by the passage of a citizen initiative several years ago. This is not the same as spending.

The amount from the pseudo billion dollars that came to the Kent School

[ OUR TURN from page 6 ] These projects are not consistent with the emergent needs identified in 2012. The projects proposed for 2014 to be funded by a B&O tax will divert funds away from critical street maintenance. This is not acceptable.

Individualized Learning

As a senior and retired, one of the highlights of my time is my weekly Ladies League at the Riverbend par 3 golf course.

I also enjoyed the times spent with my brother and other family members on the par 3.

Needing physical activity but having some restrictions, I find that the par 3 gives me that active opportunity and the healthy fun of being outdoors

District ($19.9 million) was spent on funding such programs as full-day Kindergarten, transportation and special education.

If local levies don’t pass, the loss of funds for the school district impact such things as music and athletics programs, as well as personnel. One in every five teaching positions is funded through local funds, and the loss of personnel will increase class size as well.

Remember, the local Kent levies, while they vary some in amount levied, are replacement levies. The Kent School District, for example, would lose about $60 million dollars from its

tional staff positions. This unexpected requirement for additional administrative expenses diverts even more unpopular tax dollars from the only purpose for the taxes supported by the chamber, street maintenance.

The chamber put its faith in the collaborative and transparent process that we entered and endorsed when discussing the B&O tax with the city of Kent. We are deeply disappointed

that is much needed by all.

I know this is true for many others, young and old.

It would be a great loss to the community if the par 3 is not kept in business. I pray that we are not denied this family friendly and healthy activity in our community.

And ultimately, where is this money going? It’s going into classrooms, teachers and programs for your children and mine, your grandchildren and mine, and to educate members of the younger generation who will be the citizens that run our government and community.

In my opinion, that’s the best reason to vote yes on levies for schools.

Reds Wine Bar attracts groups, good business

[ TRADER JOE’S from page 1 ] “It’s a case study of how to recruit retail,” Hanson said.

Trader Joe’s hopes to open in October, Hanson said. The company announced in January it would be coming to Kent to open an approximately 13,000-squarefoot store. The chain features imported and domestic food and beverages and has more than 400 stores in 36 states.

One of Bishops favorite aspects of the bar is the pay it forward board, where frequent patrons can pay for a beer for another customer and put it on the board.

It’s a rainy Monday night at Kent Station, one of the last places you’d expect to find anyone considering the conditions. But Reds Wine Bar has still managed to bring in almost 30 people – mostly women – to buy a variety of red and white wines.

The secret? Event programming thanks to manager Rick McMaster, who has arranged for a variety of different evening attractions ranging from live music to game nights. One particular Monday brought 20 women in for a “Corks and Canvas” night, where Corks and Canvas (a Seattle business) art docents provide art lessons along with a glass of wine.

Some of the events, such as Corks and Canvas painting classes, draw visitors from as far away as Tacoma and Seattle.

Jen Shell, a teacher from Federal Way, came to Corks and Canvas with her friends from Auburn,

Burien and West Seattle using a Groupon deal.

“They fill up really quick,” she said. “You never see a place this busy on a Monday night.”

Reds manager Rick McMaster conceived the event nights shortly after taking over management of the bar. His ideas go beyond painting and wine, though. He’s organized several different nights ranging from bluegrass bands to board game nights.

The key, he says, is making the wine bar a community space in a large city.

“The reason I don’t have a TV is because I want people to come in here and talk to each other,” McMaster said.

McMaster said that keeping the bar’s identity local has also helped bring in patrons, such as Lake Tapps resident Dennis Bishop.

Bishop regularly stops at Reds when he has business in Kent, and says that the bar is a good place to relax outside of the chain restaurants at Kent Station.

Kent-Meridian’s Daigbe snags second

BY ROSS COYLE

rcoyle@kentreporter.com

KENTLAKE’S PERNELL PLACES FIFTH ON FLOOR AT STATE MEET Kentlake’s Ashley Pernell and Kentwood’s Zoe Krambule competed in the state gymnastic championships last weekend at the Tacoma Dome.

Pernell tied for fifth on the floor with a score of 9.4.

She was sixth on vault with a 9.450, seventh on the beam with a 9.125 and 18th in the all around with a 27.975.

Krambule was 24th on the bars with an 8.0.

After an extremely successful season, KentMeridian High’s Amos Daigbe tumbled 11-5 to Union’s Alex Berganger for the 170-pound title match last Saturday at Mat Classic XXVI at the Tacoma Dome.

The Royals’ sophomore wrestler seldom had tasted defeat.

“I have to deal with adversity,” Daigbe said after the match. “Even though I lost, I accomplished something.”

On the mat, Daigbe appeared reserved in his motions, and Coach Todd Owens said that he thinks Daigbe was still getting used to competing at a high level.

“When he’s on top of the world, he’s fearless,” Owens said. “He’s learning how to be in a big match. That’s part of the growing process.”

Daige went on a spree, capturing three lopsided decisions, including a dominating 18-7 major decision over Lewis and Clark’s Dakota Numbers in the semifinals.

In the finals, Berganger, a junior, took command early, delivering a takedown and a three-point near-fall in the closing seconds of the first round. He later added five points with a takedown and

In the 285-pound championship, Kentridge’s Daniel Vi lost to Puyallup’s Trent Nivala by fall at the 5:09 mark. Vi handled Arlington’s Tyler Lindberg by pin in the first round, defeated Evergreen of Vancouver’s Austin Wright by a 6-2 decision in the second round and dispatched Lewis and Clark’s Noah Buckley in the semifinals, 9-5.

Other local placings: Kentridge’s Derek Freitag took fourth at 106, having dropped a 3-2 decision to eventual champion Trey

Long of Moses Lake.

Kentlake’s Josh Beckler placed eighth at 152, winning two of his five matches, including a dramatic 1-0 decision in a second-round consolation bout against Ferris’ Elijah Ross.

At 220, Kentlake’s Jon Yarbrough took sixth, splitting six matches. He dropped a 12-4 decision to Heritage’s Tristan Bridges for fifth place.

Dalton Myers, 145 pounds, from Kentwood, won his first round with in a major 12-1 decision but lost to South Kitsap’s Adam Lutovsky in quarterfinals in

an 8-5 decision. He followed with two more victories and two losses to place sixth.

Other wrestlers: At 113, Kentlake’s Nick Smith fell at the 3:13 mark to Fernando Leyva of Moses Lake. Smith then won his first pigtail round in a major 17-5 decision over Andrew Lonero from Evergreen of Vancouver, but lost a 5-3 decision against Davis’s Ramiro Ortiz.

Kentridge’s Tanner Zeiler, 126, lost his first round match against Union’s Daniel Rice in a 6-1 decision. Zeiler then lost his first pigtail round to Dakota Benson of

Yelm in a 5-2 decision.

At 138, Kent-Meridian’s Jahleel Smith lost his first round in a 7-1 decision to South Kitsap’s Joel Sherman. Smith won his first pigtail match against Louden Ivey of Issaquah with a 10-5 decision and lost the next round to a pin at 2:59 by Troy Wilson from Rogers of Puyallup.

Kent-Meridian’s Logan Jefferson, 182, fell in the fist round to Ryan Christensen of Woodinville. Jefferson won his first pigtail round but fell to Aaron Bork of Battle Ground in a 5-3 decision.

In girls competition, Kent-Meridian’s Bonshee Freeman competed in the 137-pound bracket. She lost a 11-10 decision to Phelicia Perez of Othello, and then won her first pigtail match against Castle Rock’s Megan Millward with a pin at the 2:24 mark. Freeman then lost to South Kitsap’s Amberlee Brasch 8-7 in another tight decision in overtime.

Kentwood’s Shannon Parmley, competing at 112, took a pin in the first round to Danielle Crawford of Granite Falls. Parmley then took a second pin in the pigtail round to Othello’s Tori Zambrano.

THE GARDENER

Bark up the right tree: Flowering trees that burst into bloom during the month of March or even sooner include the flowering plums and cherries but these diseaseprone trees can cause a lot of heart ache as wet, spring weather encourages a host of problems.

The more practical approach would be to invest in a great tree with beautiful bark. This way the early bloomers you plant nearby would attract attention to the more subtle colors and textures of coral bark, peeling bark and quirky shapes.

Marianne Binetti

The end of February is the time to add heavenly hellebores and other early bloomers to the landscape.

Local nurseries are bursting forth with new and exotic hellebore varieties, thanks to a local wholesale grower in the Skagit Valley that have made these perennials the stars of the winter garden in Western Washington.

If you are eager to celebrate the new spring season, then use these tips to design an early spring theme garden that will warm hearts as we wait for warmer weather.

Best background trees for early spring: Paper bark maple (Acer griseum) has cinnamon-brown, peeling bark and is able to adapt to full sun or the mostly shaded areas of the garden.

The Corkscrew Filbert (Corylus avellana “Contorta,” also called Harry Lauder’s Walking Stick) adds a light-hearted touch to any garden scene with the twisting nature of the slender branches but early spring is when this small tree really shows off with dangling catkins of lime green color.

Another small tree but with brilliant coral bark is the Japanese maple “Sango Kaku.” This specimen is a winter garden classic and in early spring the brilliant

color and slender shape makes it a star in almost any location. As a bonus this maple also offers butter yellow foliage color.

Light up the landscape: Bright yellow blooms of forsythia welcome spring all over the Northwest and this easy-to-grow shrub can be enjoyed as a casual hedging plant or placed in the back of a garden bed to provide blooms in the spring and a quiet green background in the summer. The evergreen rhododendron “P.J.M.” is hardy, dependable and compact with lavender blooms that will cover the plant in the month of March no matter how cold and windy the weather.

Camellias, daphne, witch hazel and heathers are other

law and make it mandatory.

Corydalis – a relative of our wild bleeding heart, this woodland perennial grows to form sheets of intense blue, pink or purple flowers that politely cover the ground and blocks out weeds under your spring flowering trees and shrubs.

Hugging the ground with fern-like foliage and nodding blooms on delicate stems look for varieties such as the intense blue “Blue Panda” and “Blue Heron” and the very lovely “Blackberry Wine.” The secret to success with corydalis is to add plenty of compost or steer manure mulch to the soil and keep the plants moist but not wet that first summer.

Early bulbs – crocus, snowdrop, grape hyacinth and dwarf daffodils flower early and remind us that summer is on the way.

Forgetful gardeners do not have to remember to plant these spring blooming bulbs in the fall.

Marianne Binetti has a degree in horticulture from Washington State University and is the author of “Easy Answers for Great Gardens” and several other books. For more gardening information, visit www.binettigarden.com.

blooming shrubs just waiting to be adopted into your early spring garden.

Early performing perennials: So here’s the deal. Everyone has flowers in the month of May, and hanging baskets and potted containers burst with bloom all summer long.

Why not be different? Early spring and late winter flowers are much less common and much more appreciated.

Thanks to local nurseries they are also much easier to find and less expensive than ever before.

Somebody should pass a law – you must add these to your landscape now.

Hellebores – the backbone of winter and early spring gardens these tough perennials are drought, slug, and deer resistant and they flower in the shade of trees and beneath your overgrown rhododendrons.

New varieties offer blooms in shades of yellow, peach, purple, green and spotted shades with lovely double flowers that resemble roses or water lilies. Buy your first hellebore plant this year for generations of winter blossoms or add to your collection to create a rainbow of early color. Do it now before they pass the

The Social Security Administration has selected the Kent Senior Activity Center to demonstrate a new program introducing My Social Security from 4 to 5 p.m. March 6.

My Social Security, a personal online account, is a valuable source of information beginning during one’s working years and continuing when Social Security benefits are received.

The exclusive program offers the public an opportunity to sign up for a 15-minute tutorial session conducted in the Kent Senior Activity Center’s computer lab by Kirk Larson, Social Security Administration Western Washington Public Affairs Specialist.

My Social Security accounts can be used to: get your benefit verification letter; obtain your benefit estimate; check your payment information and earnings record; and change your address, your phone number; and direct deposit information.

Space is limited and offered by appointment only on a first come first served basis.

Previously it was announced an SSA educational briefing as part of the “Elvis at The Place” event, which begins at 5 p.m. Due to increased interest, organizers have expanded this to include workshops for the public from 4 to 5 p.m. There is no charge to attend SSA training sessions; however, space is limited and advanced reservations are required.

Please call 253-856-5164 for more information or reservations.
