Kent’s impactful ‘Mother Mayor’ dies at age 94 the Mayor Mobile.”

Judy Hogan, Isabel’s youngest daughter, still proudly drives the Corvette in Arizona. Isabel was the first female mayor in the city and served from 1970 to 1986.

Driving a white Corvette made it easy to spot Isabel Hogan as she buzzed around town during her 16 years as Kent mayor in the 1970s and ’80s.

“City staff were just a bit more attentive and stood a little taller when they saw the car coming,” said daughter-in-law Lori Hogan. “The Corvette was lovingly referred to as

City seeks pedestrian overpass for potential West Hill light rail INSIDE

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

Special section 15 ng 20

Spri

A pedestrian overpass across Pacific Highway South on the West Hill in Kent could be part of Sound Transit’s light rail project depending on the station location and route the

agency chooses for the tracks.

Kent city officials discussed potential zoning requirements at a recent City Council’s Economic and Community Development meeting.

Sound Transit has yet to pick a route for the tracks but is looking at align-

ments along Pacific Highway South as well as Interstate 5 as it plans to extend light rail from the Angle Lake Station in SeaTac to Kent by 2023 with plans to eventually go to Federal Way. [ more PROJECT page 4 ]

City launches website to attract more tourists to Kent

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

The tourists are coming! The tourists are coming!

The city of Kent launched a new website (visitkent.com) earlier this year aimed at bringing more people to town to spend their money.

“It really is a neat website,” said Councilman Bill Boyce, who helped lead the campaign to get the website going. “We’ve been working on this for eight months or more to get the right people in place. It is uncharted territory but we have metrics in place to make sure the website is fitting our needs.

“If something is happening in Kent, you can hit the website and find out what’s going on in Kent.”

Kent’s Lodging Tax Advisory Committee, which serves in an advisory role to the City Council and mayor, came up with the idea to Boyce market Kent. The seven-member board includes Boyce, three hotel industry representatives and three members involved in activities funded by the lodging tax.

The state levies a 1 percent tax on hotel rooms sold in Kent and returns that money to the city.

The tax raises about $200,000 a year in Kent and must be spent on tourism or to support community events that bring people to the city.

Genesis Marketing, of Spo-

kane, designed the website with a $15,000 contract from the city’s tourism budget. The council’s Economic and Community Development Committee on March 9 approved a $30,000 contract with Genesis to update the website and market it to people in Central Washington, Spokane and North Idaho, Portland, the Seattle-Tacoma area and the lower parts of Canada.

“This is a change to a more modern way of marketing on the web,” said Councilman Dennis Higgins at the committee meeting. “I’m anxious to see how it works and I am very glad to see the metrics built into the contract.

I will be watching it closely. It has been a long-time coming. What we were doing wasn’t working and was a waste of money and this

Genesis will use social media sites in an attempt to reach more people with ads on Facebook, Google, Bing and other sites.

“With this contract it will be an introduction of an advertising campaign on those offshoots for marketing and all will feed into the visitkent.com website,” Hanson said. “It’s uncharted territory for us but something I think is long overdue.”

Quarterly reports from Genesis to the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee will keep members informed about hits and visits to the new website and what areas hoteliers should focus on.

The website includes tabs for discover, plan, explore, stay, events and culture. Points of emphasis in the city include Kent Station and the ShoWare Center.

seems like a really wise expenditure.”

Higgins told a story about how his mother-in-law a few years ago would travel around the Pacific Northwest and check out hotel display racks for tourist brochures.

“She’d see brochures for Auburn and Renton and she’d say, ‘I don’t see a Kent one,’” Higgins said.

“We were putting our advertising money into a black hole.”

Kurt Hanson, city economic development manager, told the committee the money will be well spent by Genesis.

“We’re all applauding our recent unveiling in January of the visitkent. com website,” Hanson said. “In a successful marketing campaign or a website in this case, you just don’t launch it and forget it.”

Leaders open dialogue on ways to tackle human, sex trafficking nonprofit organization is focused on preventing human trafficking to protect those who are vulnerable.

The group is provided the foundation in partnering with area CATs (coalition against trafficking) to combat and prevent the problem through education, programs and combined resources.

The city of Kent is trying to do its part. Fines and other associated assessment fees for those arrested and charged for prostitution have gone back into the community to support the victims and aid further enforcement, Thomas said.

Programs, such as the recent forum, are spreading the message.

Dr. Carolyn West, an award-winning author and associate professor of psychology at the University of Washington, appeared as keynote speaker. West shed light on what she described as the “cultural grooming” of sexual exploitation in society. She identified and explained a growing correlation between sex trafficking and the sexualization of today’s culture.

BY MARK KLAAS mklaas@kentreporter.com

Human trafficking and the child sex slave industry are a growing problem, a local crisis.

Let Kent Police Chief Ken Thomas provide a picture.

An undercover sting operation resulted in 30 arrests one recent night.

A disguised, policeposted classified advertisement in the adult listings on Backpage.com attracted more than 80 inquiries in less than four hours. The ploy led to a dizzying number of arrests that stretched the police force, Thomas said.

It’s a mega market, he said, a troublesome trend for police and law enforcement agencies working to stem the tide. The problem is not only prevalent on the local streets – beyond the traditional Pacific Highway South hub – but it’s also spread widely on the Internet.

“The demand is so high, and that’s the part that’s so disgusting,” Thomas told a large audience assembled at the Kent Senior Center for a public forum that explored the issue last week.

“This is such a big problem,

Kent Police Chief Ken Thomas describes how his department is dealing with the problem of human and sex trafficking at a recent public forum at the Kent Senior Center. MARK KLAAS, Kent Reporter and it (attracts) people from all facets of life. …

This problem sees no borders, no barriers. It’s a huge problem, and the only way we can work toward changing it is by changing the attitude, changing the culture.

“We need to say it’s not right,” Thomas said. “We need to bring awareness to the problem, awareness to the issues and deal with it appropriately.”

And the problem begins

early. Kent Police recently arrested a 17-year-old boy for engaging in prostitution, Thomas said.

“He and his friends were talking at school,” Thomas said. “They think that this is OK to do. This happens quite often. This is a serous problem.”

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, human trafficking has become the second fastest growing criminal industry – just behind drug trafficking – with

children accounting for roughly half of all victims.

And Washington state has become a hotbed for human trafficking. The state’s international border with Canada and its many ports make Washington prone to such exploitation, according to reports.

Whitney Whittemore, who works with at-risk youth as a community advocate for Auburn Youth Resources, came away impressed with the program.

“It was very informative and it brings a view not everyone thinks of,” she said of the forum.

More work needs to be done to tackle the problem, beginning in schools where education can play a big, preventive part in youth.

“Definitely more outreach could be done,” Whittemore said.

“Getting into the schools (is important),” she said. “(It’s important) to teach them that youth are not sexual objects … to empower youth to grow up independently and not let people objectify them.”

ees. And I thought she was really cool – she drove a white Corvette and always wore a proper hat.�

Appointed to the City Council in 1969 to fill a vacancy after the resignation of M.L. (Duffy) Armstrong, Isabel ran for and was elected mayor later that year.

Isabel attended the renaming ceremony of the city’s Russell Road Sports Complex to Hogan Park at Russell Road in October.

City officials renamed the park to honor her service and passion for parks, recreation and the arts. “I’m overwhelmed,�

Isabel told the crowd at a

morning renaming celebration in the park. “I appreciate this great honor. Thank you all.�

Former councilwoman Judy Woods, who now serves as president of the Kent Parks Foundation, said at the park ceremony that Isabel represented the “gold standard� of public service. “Her inspired leadership was visionary, strong and collaborative,� Woods said. “The ‘good’ of the community was foremost in her mind at all times, and woe be to those who didn’t share that value! She was a wonderful role model for those who followed in her ‘wake.’ It was a privilege

and pleasure to serve with her. Naming a park in her honor is an appropriate recognition of her exemplary service to our community.�

Lori Hogan, who works as the city of Kent city recreation and cultural superintendent, recalled how much Isabel supported Kent-Meridian High School sports teams. “She was a huge supporter of Kent-Meridian athletics,� Lori Hogan said. “Her words of encouragement echoed off the bleachers and down to the floor. There are probably 60-year-old men in Kent who can remember her visiting the K-M locker room at halftime to help ‘motivate and encourage’ better performance.�

Isabel lived 62 years in Kent’s Scenic Hill neighborhood. She had six children with her late husband, Dr. James Hogan.

She was preceded in death by her son Dennis Hogan, her daughter Sharon Hogan and her brother Eldon “George� Baumgartner. She is survived by her son Michael Hogan, her daughter Carol (John) VanDongen, her daughter Barb (Tracy) LaFayette, her daughter Judy Hogan, her daughter in-law Lori Hogan, her grandson Jim Hogan and granddaughter Sarah Hogan.

In lieu of flowers, people are asked to donate to the Dennis Hogan Memorial Fund at the Kent Parks and Recreation Department.

an effort to boost economic development in what’s known as the Midway area.

Anderson said Kent looked at the city of SeaTac zoning code for ideas about zoning for light rail in Kent. “We took a lot of their code and customized it to what might happen with light rail in Midway,� Anderson said. “The purpose of it is to set standards for design, for having this place being a community focal point, for ensuring connections whether it’d be bicycle, auto, and that it does have a pedestrian orientation to the station and that where appropriate there are buffers.�

The code also defines weather protection, open space, landscaping, lighting, architectural features for elevated structures so they are not just boxes but have some interest to them as well as whether a parking structure would be required.

Sound Transit officials are scheduled to brief the City Council about the draft EIS at an April 7 council workshop.

Flags at all city facilities were lowered to half-staff on Wednesday in memory of Isabel, also known as “Mother Mayor� by her coworkers at City Hall. “Isabel was my mayor when I began working for Kent (as the Senior Center director) in 1975,� said Suzette Cooke, who is in her third term as mayor, in a letter Tuesday to city employees. “To say the least, I admired how she conducted the city’s business.

June that will then be analyzed in a final EIS. The agency plans to extend light rail from South 200th Street in SeaTac to South 240th Street in Kent.

Eventually, if funding is available, the track would go to South 272nd Street in Federal Way and then the Federal Way Transit Center at South 320th Street.

The route options include elevated or at-surface tracks along Pacific Highway South; elevated along 30th Avenue South; along the west side of I-5; a mix of the west side of I-5 and the freeway median; a hybrid along Pacific Highway with track placed on the west side, east side and possibly down the median.

Sound Transit is looking at as many as eight potential locations for the Kent-Des Moines station.

The alternatives include on the Highline campus; on the west side, east side or in the middle of Pacific Highway South; on 30th Avenue South; as well as along I-5.

FOR THE REPORTER

If a station is built at South 236th Lane on the east side of Pacific Highway South, city leaders want the agency to have to consider a pedestrian overpass at 236th because the nearest intersection with a traffic signal is at South 240th Street.

Councilman Dennis Higgins asked Charlene Anderson, city planning manager, if the proposed zoning code would include a provision for a pedestrian overpass.

Anderson told him it would because there are more than 30,000 vehicle trips daily along the road. “Our consultant (also) suggested that would be necessary,� Anderson said. “We would work with Sound Transit for really making a statement for the South 236th Lane road improvement and maybe if the overpass couldn’t be accomplished immediately, at least contributing to it should it be needed in the future. With the way the code is written, we would

have some flexibility to work with the council.�

Higgins replied with a question. “So Sound Transit when they come in for permits, they would get to that section (of the code) and at least be forced to negotiate with us on that, right?� “Yes,� Anderson said.

That affirmative answer sounded good to Higgins. “They can’t simply precede to build an at-grade crossing without some sort of agreement from the city,� Higgins said. “I like that requirement.

I don’t know if we will be successful to get that funded fully but I want to have that leverage and discussion.�

Sound Transit plans to release a draft environmental impact statement (EIS) by the end of March that shows the impact of the alternative routes under consideration. The agency will have a public hearing on the EIS at a date to be determined in April. The Sound Transit Board is expected to pick a preferred alternative by the end of

www.kentreporter.com GREEN LEADERS: The King County Solid Waste Division’s Green Schools program recently recognized East Hill and Horizon elementary schools for their conservation and costsaving efforts.

The two Kent schools were among six schools honored for their Green School achievements.

More than 200 schools from 33 cities in the country are working to reduce waste and recycling, conserve resources and reduce costs with help from the program.

East Hill students used the regional Puget Sound Starts Here campaign to educate students, staff and families about reducing storm water pollution. Most school faucets were equipped with sensors to automatically turn off when not in use and signs were posted near sinks to remind students and staff to turn off faucets when not in use and to report leaks.

Horizon reduced its garbage volume by 8.4 cubic yards per month, thanks to waste reduction and recycling actions. To reduce waste, bulk condiment dispensers and loose disposable utensils were used in the cafeteria.

The other schools recognized were: Endeavour and Discovery elementary (Issaquah School District); Chestnut Hill Academy (private school, Bellevue); and Secondary Academy for Success (Northshore School District).

[ SUPERINTENDENT from page 1 ] “We have received highquality applications from a number of qualified candidates and we are confident we have excellent finalists who embody the qualities and characteristics our community desires,” school board president Debbie Straus said in a press release.

Moyer is superintendent of Moline-Coal Valley School District in Moline, Ill., which serves 7,500 students, employs 1,150 certificated and classified staff members and has a $116 million budget.

He previously worked for the Burlington Area School District in Wisconsin, the Community High School District 117 and the McHenry High School District 156 both in Illinois.

Moyer has a bachelor’s degree in English and secondary education from the University of Wisconsin, a master’s degree in physical education and sports administration from Eastern Kentucky University. He also has a master’s degree in educational administration, a superintendent’s endorsement and a doctorate in educational administration from Northern Illinois University.

Watts is an assistant superintendent in Gwinnett County Public Schools in Suwanee, Ga., which has 174,500 students, 15,600 certificated and classified staff members and a $1.7 billion budget. Watts previously worked for Seattle Public Schools, Atlanta Public Schools, Carrollton City Schools in Georgia and The Archdiocese of Atlanta.

He earned a bachelor’s degree in English from Howard University and received his teaching certification at Western Washington University. He has a master’s degree in educational administration and supervision from the University of West Georgia and a doctorate in educational leadership from Argosy University in Atlanta.

The new superintendent replaces Edward Lee Vargas, who stepped down in October after six years in Kent to accept a job as executive vice president of AVID, a national nonprofit college readiness program in California. Tony Apostle, a retired Puyallup School District superintendent, is serving as interim superintendent.

Ray and Associates Inc. of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, which specializes in educational executive leadership candidate searches and recruitment

for public schools, private schools and higher education institutions, was contracted by the board in late November to oversee the search.

First, back away from that knife. You should not cut the stems but instead grab and pull off to the side so that you’ll take the entire stem and petiole of the rhubarb stalk. Rhubarb is ready to harvest when the stalks are 12 to 18 inches long.

You should stop harvesting when the stalks that emerge become smaller, usually in late spring.

Yes, the leaves of rhubarb plants are poisonous but then so are the leaves of many other edible plants.

I like to cut off the large leaves from the stalk while still in the garden and use them as a weed blocking mulch around other plants.

To sweeten the stems after you harvest, peel them and soak in cold water for a few hours. During the summer rhubarb will send up stalks of white blooms.

Remove these if you want a strong harvest next year as the flowers take nutrients away from the plant. Rhubarb is considered a spring [ more BINETTI page 7 ]

“This important milestone is as wonderful and unique as our great city, and will be celebrated all year starting with the International Festival, our Summer Concert Series, the Fourth of July Splash and more,” said Mayor Suzette Cooke.

“Let’s use this anniversary year as a time to celebrate our history and to look forward to the future.”

The public is invited to a community forum at 6 p.m. Thursday, March 26, at Kent City Hall, 220 Fourth Ave. S., to generate and share ideas on how the anniversary can be incorporated into already planned activities.

“An internal group of city employees has generated some preliminary ideas, but those activities can change with additional feedback,” Cooke said. “We’re aware of many organizations that want to celebrate in their own way, and we encourage

that. To make the celebrations more cohesive, we’ve designed a special 125th anniversary logo to brand and tie everything together.

“We hope individuals and organizations will incorporate the logo into their communications and any special events for the duration of 2015. This is an opportunity to present a cohesive and positive message to our community, visitors, and businesses alike, Cooke said.

tonic plant. Enjoy too much and you’ll wake up frisky and dance around the garden at sunrise.

Q.

I have gray, flat, weird growths on my tree trunks and some azalea branches. It is not moss. It is a gray or silver color. Is there a spray I can use to save my plants? S.S.

A.

No need to get excited over the 50 shades of gray in your garden. Your plants are not being tortured by this natural growth and it does no harm.

After our warm, wet winter, many plants display a combination of fun-

gus and alga called lichen. If you really do not like the lichen, you can free your plants from its bondage by using a brush or gloved hand to rub it off.

On tree trunks you can dip a soft brush into a weak bleach solution (two tablespoons bleach to one quart of water) and scrub the lichen off.

A much more practical approach is to appreciate the added silver sheen and enjoy the lichen. Many cultures use lichen to make food, medicine, soap and dyes.

Q.

If I see plants like candytuft, pansies and primroses for sale at the grocery, does this mean it is time to plant these into my garden? B.G., Puyallup

LEASE WITH A RIGHT TO PURCHASE

A.

The simple answer is yes. Perennials like hellebores, rock garden plants, hardy pansies and primroses can be added to beds, containers and window boxes now as they can survive frost. Just know that any greenhouse grown plant may need to be hardened up a bit by exposing them to cold nights gradually.

Let newly purchased plants sit in a protected area on a covered porch or patio for a week or so until they toughen up or cover the sweet young things with a sheet the first few nights if a frost is expected.

Do you know someone who can’t get financing or prefers to wait to purchase?

This new program is the perfect answer!

• Choose a home • Lease it for 1 to 5 years • Activate the purchase anytime within those five years for a pre-determined, agreed-upon price!

Audrey Diane Baker Audrey Diane Baker, known to all as Diane, passed away quietly on March 6, 2015, after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease.

She was born in Seattle to Howard and Jean Petry on June 16, 1940. She was raised with her three sisters, Dola, Barbara, and Sharon, on a farm in the Kent valley.

She graduated from Kent Meridian High School in 1958 and married Ken Baker in December of 1959.

Diane and Ken were stationed in Georgia for two years after Ken was drafted into the Army and then they returned to Kent to start their family.

Diane was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and friend and she liked nothing more than sharing a cup of tea and a long chat with anyone who stopped by. She loved animals, reading, knitting, spending time walking, and tending to her flower and herb garden. She loved God and was devoted to her church. She will be sorely missed.

She is preceded in death by her parents, and sisters Dola and Barbara. She is survived by her husband, Ken, her sister, Sharon, her two sons, Bruce and Mark, and her five grandchildren, Amanda, Katie, Nicole, Emily, and Joe. A memorial service and celebration of her life will be held at First Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Kent on March 28th at 2:00 pm. Remembrances may be made to World Vision or to the Deacon’s Fund at First Evangelical Presbyterian Church.

The family would like to thank Angel Care Adult Family Home in Auburn for their loving care of Diane over the last several months.

Kathy L. Dunkin was born on November 16, 1949 in Minneapolis, MN to Galen and Irene (Christianson) Budd. She devoted her life to her Savior, Jesus Christ, and finished her race well run on February 19, 2015 in Ethel, WA, after an almost 6yr battle with kidney cancer.

When Kathy was still a toddler, her family moved to Seattle where she grew up the 2nd of three children. She graduated from Chief Sealth High School, and went on to earn her teaching degree from the University of Puget Sound. For over 30yrs she taught 1st & 2nd grades, and often music, for the Kent School District, and eventually went on to earn her master’s degree in education.

She lived a life of service to God and others. She fostered and then adopted her son, Timothy, and daughter, Christy.

She devoted her time outside of teaching elementary school to teaching others about the love of Jesus, and in particular had a heart for single mothers, leading a Single Mom’s group at Kent Covenant Church. She loved to sing and play piano, play games and travel. Kathy was a party planner, a small group leader and a devout Mariner’s fan. She was happiest when surrounded by family, in the front of a classroom, walking along the ocean or sitting at the piano. As long as she had a Bible on her lap, a pen in her hand, a loved one at her side or a camera to her eye she was content. Even as she neared the end of her time here with us, she never lost the sparkle in her eye or smile on her face; when things would get hard, she could often be heard softly singing “The Joy of the Lord is My Strength”.

Kathy was preceded in death by her father, Galen, and her mother, Irene.

She is survived by her daughter, Christy, son, Tim, daughter-in-law, Rachel and granddaughter, Grace, as well as her sister, KarenRae Gater and brother, Kevin Budd.

Together with these, Kathy left behind a loving and devoted circle of family and friends who look forward to meeting her again in heaven one day.

A celebration of Kathy’s life will be held on Saturday, March 21, 2015 at 2pm at Kent Covenant Church, 12010 SE 240th St., Kent, WA 98031. Reception to follow. Arrangements are under the care of Cattermole Funeral Home, Winlock,WA

Washington has the nation’s highest minimum wage at $9.47 an hour, and now the state Legislature wants to hike it to $12.

Seattle Mayor Ed Murray (D) wants to boost it to $15 to go in step with the SeaTac initiative, which voters barely approved last year.

The state’s minimum wage has been adjusted annually since 2001, based on a Seattle-area cost of living index. From 2008 through 2013, Washington’s minimum wage increased more than 14 percent.

Washington voters thought passing an initiative 14 years ago would make life better for the poor and low income families, but has it?

Stanford economics professor Thomas MaCurdy says, in effect, “not so much.”

MaCurdy, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institute, analyzed the impact when Congress raised the national minimum wage in 1996 from $4.25 to $5.15. That would be comparable to raising the current minimum wage from $7.25 to $8.80. MaCurdy says that even though the increase happened 19 years ago, the principal is the same today.

In late February, he wrote in the Wall Street Journal: “The results show the failure of minimum-wage hikes as an antipoverty policy.”

MaCurdy found that a higher minimum wage leads to higher prices, a burden that falls disproportionately on the low-income families it was intended to help.

He calls the minimum wage a “stealth tax” that hurts low-income families most. “My analysis concludes that more poor families were losers than winners from the 1996 hike in the minimum wage. Nearly one in five low-income families benefited, but all lowincome families paid for the increase through higher prices.”

The higher prices, in other words, resembled a regressive value-added or sales, tax.

This is sharply contrary to normal tax policy.

A typical state sales tax has a uniform rate— but with necessities such as food excluded, [ more BRUNELL page 9 ]

Well-treated elephants earn retirement Today, as I sit in my broker’s office at Kent Station’s Coldwell Banker Bain Real Estate, reading the Kent Reporter article on how the elephants will be removed from Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, my mind drifts back to the hot summer day in 1975 when I rode an elephant in the circus parade from the Seattle waterfront to KeyArena.

The funny thing was that I had never even been to a circus. That summer however, as an “advertising executive,” I was handling Ringling Brothers’ public relations and advertising in Seattle and Portland.

All the tie-ins with local celebrities were arranged. I had presented Mr. Fred Meyer himself with his circus whistle so that he could begin the “Greatest Show on Earth” as our

I had presented the Liger cubs (lion father, tiger mother) to an appreciative group of TV reporters, and I had taken two clowns to Seattle Children’s Hospital and Washington School for the Deaf.

Now the circus was ready to start in Seattle. As the animals

lined up for the parade, we discovered that one of our local Seattle disc jockeys had not arrived in time for his ride. Everyone said, “John, you do it!”

So with great enthusiasm and youthful abandon, I climbed onto the elephant’s neck. You ride just behind the ears.

What no one had mentioned was that unlike horses, which move back and forth, elephants move in four distinct swaying directions as each foot moves. Also no one told me that the literal bristles on their necks would be tearing through the lightweight business pants I was wearing.

Today the plight of elephants worldwide is of significant importance, and I am pleased that the Ringling Brothers Center for Elephant Conservation will be giving these great animals their welldeserved retirement. [ more LETTERS page 9 ]

Keeping the faith as beloved Mariners pursue a playoff run Can you believe there is less than a month until Opening Day of the baseball season? It seems like only yesterday we were all hyped up for the Seahawks to “re-Pete” as Super Bowl champs.

That didn’t turn out as planned, so now it’s time to switch

our focus and loyalties to the Seattle Mariners. Every year I start out with high hopes for a winning season and find myself flagging a bit as the months go by and our team just can’t seem to pull it together.

But this year could be different. This time I’m not the only

one with great expectations for this Mariners ball club. Even before spring training got under way, the pundits were declaring our Mariners contenders. They’re even talking World Series.

Who knew?

This may sound crazy, but for me, I guess it isn’t a requirement that we go to the World Series this year.

Of course, I would love to see us do

that well and show all the scoffers and naysayers on the East Coast that baseball is still very much alive and well in Seattle.

Winning it all won’t make me more of a fan. I’ve been all-in, win or lose, for the 30-plus years I’ve lived here and don’t expect that to change [ more SHERMAN page 9 ]

MaCurdy credits private sector employers who raise wages on their own. For example, in Seattle, Dickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Drive-in Restaurants has consistently provided jobs above minimum wage.

Jasmine Donovan, the granddaughter of Dickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s co-founder Dick Spady, told the Seattle Times last August: â&#x20AC;&#x153;For more than 60 years, Dickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Drive-In has strongly supported high wages and generous benefits. Our employees start at $10.25 an hour â&#x20AC;&#x201C; well above our stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highestin-the-nation minimum wage â&#x20AC;&#x201C; receive regular merit raises, excellent health insurance, $22,000 in scholarships over four years, child-care assistance, bonuses,

paid vacations, a 401(k) retirement plan with a 50 percent employer match, paid volunteer time at local charities and other great benefits.â&#x20AC;?

Raising the base wage to $15 an hour would cost Dickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $1.5 million, which would be reflected in the price of hamburgers, fries and milk shakes.

Of course, we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be talking about hiking the minimum wage if the economy were stronger. In a robust economy, employers compete for workers by offering higher wages and benefits. In a weak economy, wages stagnate.

Then there is the issue of unemployment.

The state reports that in January, 95 percent of the counties in Washington had unemployment rates above the

Living the dream?

I agree with Mr. Richard Brandauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Against pay raise for mayorâ&#x20AC;?, March 13, Kent Reporter), but what do you expect when you attract people for the position of mayor at $102,000 like Suzette Cooke?

It is public knowledge that the mayor has a very

national average. Almost one-third of our stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s counties posted doubledigit unemployment. If people canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find a job at $9.47 per hour, how will they find work at $12 per hour?

There is a better way. Donovan proposed an alternative called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;smart wage,â&#x20AC;? which increases as employees improve their education and skills.

If we truly want to help people move up the economic ladder, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it better to provide incentives that reward them for getting the education and skills theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need in order to succeed? The other alternative is fewer jobs and lost opportunities.

extensive track record of spawning financial catastrophes with no accountability. Since moving to Kent in early 2014, I have found out rather quickly that there is little confidence and trust with the mayor of Kent and the citizens of Kent have paid dearly.

Does she have any real â&#x20AC;&#x153;skin in the game?â&#x20AC;?

The residents of Kent have voted and now are living the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mayor Cooke Dream.â&#x20AC;? We all have to live with our choices, and it gets rather ugly.

In fact, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve followed baseball since I was a kid in Southern California.

I spent many a memorable Saturday afternoon ensconced in front of the TV watching the Yankees trounce all American League comers. Those were the days of Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Yogi Berra and my favorite pitcher, Whitey Ford. They were really something to see, even if it was on a small black-and-white set.

I switched my allegiance when the Angels came to Los Angeles, and am happy to say that I never rooted for the Yankees again.

The Mariners captured my loyalties soon after I moved here. By that time, I was used to cheering for the underdog, so it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a big

switch. I loved that they were like the gang who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shoot straight. They were earnest and serious and just plain awful, but I had faith that someday, our rag-tag team would finish close to the top.

We got a taste of that a couple of times over the years, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a long hard road since Edgar, Jay and Junior dressed in Mariner blue or green.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been said that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the destination but the journey that is important.

I plan to enjoy this journey, keeping the faith and hoping for the best.

The season hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even started yet, but I can almost hear the crack of the bat or the soft thud of baseball striking mitt on Opening Day at Safeco Field.

Almost.

How to safely hire a Washington roofer A home improvement project such as new roof, siding, windows or gutters is very exciting. Spring has sprung and the time has come for home transformations to begin!

The work performed on your home will transform its appearance and add value to your home. It is a very rewarding experience in most cases IF you take the proper steps to make sure you hire the right contractor for your project. In a day and age when 80% of local contractors go out of business in the first two years and labor warranties are voided, it is of the upmost importance to prequalify your potential contractors. As a responsible local home improvement contractor we have put together a list of questions and instructions you can follow that will help to ensure you have a positive contractor experience.

Are they licensed, bonded and insured?

It is critical that your roofer carry these credentials. If they do not have the proper insurance you will be legally responsible for any injuries that take place on your property.

Ask them for a copy of their current insurance. Most contractors will not have a problem providing this information. You can verify a company’s credentials on the L&I website at: http://www.lni.wa.gov

A very good question to ask your potential contractor is if they have a physical office or legitimate place of business as many work out of their garage or rent a month to month storage locker. If they have a physical office this indicates that they are financially sound and have the financial capital to operate a substantial business. It also shows a level of permanency and long term commitment from the contractor. A business that operates out of a truck has a much easier time closing their doors if things are going wrong. They also do not have the financial responsibility of making sure they keep their office payments up to date so the chances of them missing in action increase. A lot of times you can also verify this on the Labor and Industries website as many will just have a PO Box number as their address.

Check online reviews from various sources including manufacturer sites.

Fortunately for us all we live in the era of unfiltered online feedback. Review of sites such as Google, BBB and an independent site like GuildQuality.com have detailed reports on local contractors and the level of performance they provide for their customers. Some of the most credible review sites are certified contractor programs from industry leaders such as GAF, the nation’s largest roofing manufacturer. They provide a customer review report to each homeowner to find out how their contractor partners are doing. Those results are posted on the roofers master elite page. Checking each of these resources will provide a very well rounded idea of how consumers felt about their experience with a particular roofer. Another valuable referral source is thru the Roofing Contractors Association of Washington which you can reach at 253-282-9823 and ask for good roofing companies to pick from.

How long have they been in business?

Industry statistics show that 80% of roofing contractors go out of business in their first few years. What does this mean to you? If a contractor is not in business they are no longer responsible for their workmanship warranty. Simply put, you are not covered. When hiring a roofing contractor in Washington State you should make sure they have been in business for at least 5 years. At the 5 year mark a contractor has proven they can operate a business and have navigated through the challenges that sink many other companies.

Do they have a list of references from previous customers that you can check?

There are many different types of roofing. Some contractors have crews that specialize in all types of roofing while others might lack experience with certain material types. If you are having material such as wood shakes, metal roofing, concrete tile or slate put on your roof it is very important that the potential contractor can provide you with a list of jobs that they have successfully installed with this material.

Does the contractor have a legitimate place of business?

As a local roofing and exterior home improvement company we feel responsible to make sure every homeowner is protected. We hope you find great value in the information we provided. If you have an upcoming roofing, siding, window or gutter project please consider contacting us for a no obligation project estimate. You will find our sales staff to be both well informed and courteous. Thank you for considering us for your next project! Best wishes from our family to yours.

Frequently Asked Questions about our Products: Why canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t I buy any products on your website? Tile and stone can look extremely different on a computer screen than they do in real life. We strongly recommend you see the color and feel the texture of a tile in person before buying. Choosing a product that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll live with for 10+ years without seeing it in person is like buying a new car without taking it for a test drive!

We may, in the future, sell non-design items such as thinset and tools on our website and have them available for delivery or in-store pick-up. Subscribe to our quarterly email newsletter, to keep up to date on our latest website and product developments.

I found a tile/stone at another store. Can you order it for me? More often than not, yes! We work with over 30 different tile distributors, hundreds of tile manufacturers, and can order over 100,000 tile and stone products. Contact us with the name of the product and when and where you saw it, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to tell you if we can get it and how much it would cost. However, if a man-made product has been discontinued, is exclusive to another retailer (such as a Home Depot or Loweâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s), or is unavailable in our region, we might not be able to order it.

When looking for natural stone products from several different sources; so even if Company A stopped carrying a product, Company B might still have it. We always recommend seeing a sample of the current batch of any natural stone material in person, due to the high variation inherent in the product. The stone sample you saw three months ago might look very different from a current sample from the exact same company or quarry.

I have a tile Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to match, can you help? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll certainly try! At least once a week, a homeowner comes to us with a broken piece of tile from a damaged shower or an old floor and asks if we can order it or something like it.

Occasionally, we can track down the manufacturer and order more of the exact same tile.

But if the tile is out of production or completely unavailable, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll let you know up front and recommend alternatives.

3. A well-lit exterior can make a big difference. It may not make or break a house, but an exterior that is lit up at night can help draw in buyers. It may make them feel safer while providing attractive lighting.

4. Think about your exterior paint color. While you might love your lemon yellow house, someone else might not.

It’s not a deal breaker for most, but it can be for some. Use two paint colors maximum, or you might be turning away potential buyers.

5. Keep your exterior simple. Park cars in the garage if space allows, and don’t overwhelm the eye with plants.

These little things can turn off potential buyers.

For additional tips, talk to your REALTOR® about exterior staging to maximize your home’s curb appeal.

Expert advice coupled with some TLC can go a long way to showing your home at its best.

THE GARDENER

“Spring market ‘not waiting for tulips’, but limited inventory frustrates homebuyers.” (NWMLS) We are entering spring with a severe shortage of homes for sale and we expect that shortage to continue throughout the spring market. Interested in buying this spring? You need to work with an experienced professional to become buyerready more than ever. Thinking about selling soon? I say think about NOW. Read this article about curb appeal and get moving!

Curb appeal helps a buyer quickly determine whether or not they want to consider buying a home just by its outward appearance. Let’s look at how it can affect your house positively and negatively.

1. Your home is welcoming to potential buyers. It can help influence someone’s decision to consider your home.

Make it look inviting by adding flowers to the front yard, make sure the grass has been clipped recently and the yard is well groomed, and create an appealing entry way.

2. Poor curb appeal can detract from an otherwise attractive home. If you have too much outdoor clutter, a poorly maintained exterior or an overgrown

Time to plan ahead for your spring garden

How curb appeal can make or break your house

A. Yes, forcing newly pruned whips or thin branches from forsythia, quince, cherry and even magnolia will work in our climate and the time to get snippy is now. The trick is to keep the cut branches hydrated so split the stem with a knife or remove some of the side bark on the bottom third of the cut branch to help the harvest soak up the water.

Once cut, place the vase of twigs in a cool garage or dark room until you see signs of color from the buds. You can also collecting pussy willow branches and bring them indoors to enjoy this week.

Garden shows and nurseries also unwrap a fresh season of classes and lectures and now is the time to signup. Here are some early season garden questions:

be a 12. Better yet, order a dozen early bloomers and start a winter garden.

Q. Is it too late to prune my roses? I am seeing green leaves sprouting from the branches. T.C., Auburn

Q. In my neighborhood there is a pink rhododendron that I noticed flowering on the same Sunday that the Seahawks won the title. This means it was in bloom in January.

A. Keep cheering because the name of the early blooming (as opposed to the hawks who are late bloomers) rhododendron is called “Christmas Cheer” and this compact rhododendron with pale pink blooms is usually in flower by February or March. A bit of mild winter weather can coast

Q. I saw a magazine article about forcing bare branches of flowers into bloom. They showed how to force forsythia, quince and cherry tree branches.

Will this work in our area of Western Washington? When is it safe to cut the branches?

A.M., Bonney Lake

A. It is not too late, and it could be a bit early. I usually prune back roses right after Valentine’s Day but you can wait until mid March or even April to prune your roses. Different varieties have specific likes when it comes to how much to prune off but all roses benefit from removing the three D’s – anything dead, damaged or diseased can be cut off anytime of the year.

Plenty of reasons: â&#x20AC;˘Â Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re expensive: Wood-burning fireplaces can waste up to $200 each year in energy costs. Add on another $200 for chimney cleaning, plus some extra cash for wood, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at a serious spend. â&#x20AC;˘Â Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dirty: Ash, soot, smoke â&#x20AC;&#x201C; need we say more?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no secret that wood-burning fireplaces are messy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and all the cleaning you have to do definitely diminishes the pleasure of the fireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glow.Â

Tips for buying topsoil for landscaping and lawn projects

Marianne Binetti

The Compleat Home Gardener

Spring projects sprout this time of year. March is good time to restore and rejuvenate an old lawn, start some raised beds for vegetables and weed and

mulch the flower and shrub beds to keep out future weeds and conserve soil moisture. These spring projects will require soil and mulch resources – so here is the garden gossip: buying soil can be a dirty business. The sale of “topsoil” is not a regulated industry in our state.

It’s time to educate yourself and ask questions before purchasing topsoil for landscape or lawn renovation projects. My mail tells me the biggest

with excellent reputations who have been in business for many years. Here are some tips from successful soil companies that have managed to keep their products weed- and debris-free and their customers happy through the years.

1.

Ask if the company does product testing and how often they test the soil. Jami Burke of Corliss Resources is a horticulturist that helps create the compost and topsoil at the indoor compost making operation for Corliss Resources in Sumner.

“Our soil is tested quarterly and we undergo strict testing as a registered organic material with the Washington State Department of Agriculture,” he said. “Constant monitoring of the heat and oxygen is key to creating clean, weed free compost.”

Doo on his family farm in Enumclaw and uses only the resources given to them from their organically fed and free range cow, calf and dairy operation.

“We have a closed loop system for feeding and caring for our animals,” Gwerder said. “We know our manure-based mulching product will be weed-free because we heat our product to 180 degrees and age it for two to five years. We don’t truck in raw materials so we know exactly what goes into our Moo Doo – it all comes from our organic farm from start to finish.”

Learn more about Hy Grass Farms at www.moo-doo. com.

3.

consumer complaint about buying topsoil, bark or compost is that products can be contaminated with horsetail or other noxious weeds. Consumers have also reported having a load of “soil” delivered that is full of large rocks, building debris like nails and sheet rock and even undecomposed food scraps and garbage.

Gardeners in Western Washington are lucky to have many vendors of soil, compost and mulches

Corliss Resources also sells topsoil that mixes their weed-free compost with sand and loam and offer both a two-way mix suitable for lawn renovation and a three-way mix for landscaping and garden beds. Learn more at www.corlissresources. com.

2.

Ask what goes into the product and where the ingredients come from. Jason Gwerder makes mountains of Moo

Ask where the product is created and who oversees the operation.

Tagro is municipal sludge or biosolids recycled by the city of Tacoma into a mix with sawdust and bark that can be added as an amendment to lawns and garden beds.

Tagro is not sold as a topsoil but rather as a product to improve existing soils. Tagro is made on site in Tacoma and is available for pick up or delivery. Donald Boe is the local Tagro expert and explains that creating Tagro is a dual-digestion process that uses beneficial organisms to digest the solids and also a three-temperature heat cycle to remove odor, weeds and other pathogens.

Tagro is tested and graded by the EPA and has earned a Class A ranking for exceptional quality. Visit www.

Tagro.com.

Consumers should visit company’s websites to understand what they offer.

Consumers also need to know that finding occasional clods or dirt lumps, small

pieces or any undecomposed food scraps.

All the Dirt on Words to Know: Compost – a soil amendment of well-rotted organic matter often made from collected yard waste. Compost can be used to improve existing soils and is excellent for raised bed vegetable gardens.

Two-way mix – usually a mix of compost and sand.

This is the best for layering on top of a well-aerated lawn and sprinkling lawn seeds on top for lawn renovation. The sand in the mix means it will drain well and can be used to rake over moss and low spots in the lawn.

berms for trees and shrubs and can also be used for growing vegetables and flowers.

Mulch – anything that goes on top of the soil to block out weeds and seal in moisture. In some areas, rocks and gravel are used as a mulch but in Western Washington bark and wood chips are the most common mulching materials.

Composted manure Western Washington is dairy country and wellcomposted dairy manure is available from some local farmers for use as a soil amendment and in some cases as a weed-blocking mulch. To avoid weed seeds, the manure should be heated in a pile and aged so it is well rotted.

• • •

rocks or a bit of stringy material in a load of compost or topsoil does not detract from the overall quality of the product. What you should be concerned about are visible weeds, especially horsetail, undecomposed branches, fresh manure, cigarette butts, plastic

Three-way mix or fiveway mix – Compost, sand and loam plus, in some cases, sawdust and bark are mixed. This creates a soil that holds water better than a two-way mix but drains better than compost. It’s good for creating planting

Windows are the #1 source of heat loss

By Doris A. Black Windows are one of the most important structural characteristics of a home. They bring in light and beauty but can also be a major source of heat loss in the winter if not maintained properly. To reduce heat loss, inspect and replace any damaged existing windows or use other insulating devices.

The most common reason windows leak is because they are old, cracked or missing caulking or weatherstripping.

Caulking is made of silicone or latex, an airtight compound used for filling holes and cracks in the window frame and joints between the frame and the wall. With age, caulking deteriorates and should be replaced when it crumbles and cracks. To remove old caulking, use a putty knife to pry it clear of the frame, taking care not to damage wooden frames. Clean and dry the surface areas before reapplying caulk. Manufacturers recommend applying caulk when temperatures exceed 50 degrees. Colder temperatures will prevent the caulk from adhering and sealing properly. Weatherstripping is used to form a tight seal between a moving and stationary part of the window, such as the sash and the frame. Narrow weatherstripping can be purchased in vinyl, foam or rubber.

Leaky windows waste energy and ultimately dollars for the homeowner. The holes or cracks in your framing or caulking can be so miniscule that they aren’t visible to the naked eye. But there is one surefire way to locate the air leaks around your windows. After removing draperies and other flammable objects from the window area, light a candle and slowly work your way around each window frame, holding the candle about three inches from the frame. Watch the flame flicker as it passes through air currents. This method is especially effective on a windy day when strong currents of air are forced through the tiny cracks and holes. Once the leaks are located, reducing or eliminating them can greatly improve the energy efficiency of your windows.

Knowing the style of windows you have may also help you determine where cracks are most likely to be found.

Double-hung windows, where the upper sash and lower sash are moveable, are the least energy-efficient style because there are so many surface areas where a tight seal is difficult to achieve. Horizontal sliding windows are similar by design and therefore just as prone to being drafty.

Louvered and casement windows are moderately airtight because of their compression seals. They open with a hand crank, are easy to operate and provide good ventilation.

Compression seals are twice as air tight as the sliding seals of double-hung or horizontal sliding windows, a fact to keep in mind when purchasing new windows.

When installing new windows seems to be the best option, knowing the construction characteristics of different types of windows can help you choose which ones to purchase. Manufacturers rate the energy efficiency of windows by R-values. The R-value represents the window’s ability to resist heat flow. Window R-values can range from a low .09 (very drafty) to over 3.0 (very airtight). The higher the R-value, the less heat loss will occur. For example, single-pane windows have an R-value of 1.0 (not good).

• Frame construction and installation. Window frames can be constructed of one type of material or a combination of materials. The most common are: wood, vinyl, aluminum and fiberglass. Wood frames have the highest R-value, but also require the most maintenance (painting, staining, etc.). They are likely to rot and swell if not maintained properly. Vinyl frames are virtually maintenance free and have moderate R-value, but are not as strong as wood, although

Several factors determine a window’s energy efficiency: • Glazing material. Although most windows are designed with clear glass, many homeowners opt for windows with special glazes to enhance the energy efficiency of their homes. For example, heat-absorbing glass uses solar energy to increase energy efficiency by 45% and windows with low-e (low emissivity) glass coatings reflect 40% to 70% of the heat that is normally transmitted through clear glass, keeping the heat inside where it belongs.

• Number of layers of glass. Double- or triple-pane windows have layers of space between each pane to resist heat flow. The more layers, the better insulation.

• Amount of space between panes of glass. Too much or too little space between panes can allow too much heat transfer. The highest-rated windows have air space between 1/2” and 5/8”. If the space is filled with argon or krypton gas, as in high-efficiency models, the insulating value increases further.

they can be reinforced with steel bars. On the low end of the price scale are aluminum frames. They have the lowest R-value and are prone to condensation, but are strong and ideal for custom sizing. Fiberglass frames have excellent R-values, can be expensive to purchase, but will not rot, warp or corrode.

When choosing multiple-paned windows, consider the spacing material used to separate the panes. Metal is most often used but it is not very efficient. Look for a brand that uses foam separators, nylon spacers or other insulating materials between the glass inside their windows to give the highest consistent thermal resistance.

Make your home more comfortable and affordable this winter by locating drafty windows, repairing broken seals or installing new windows with a high R-value rating. Then sit back and watch the utility bills drop.

STAFF WRITER Seattle Weekly is seeking a Staff Writer to join its editorial team and help chronicle the fastest growing city in the U.S. The Staff Writer will be responsible for contributing high-quality news and feature stories with a focus on in-depth reporting and narrative storytelling. The right candidate will be somebody who feels more at home in the field rather than in front of a screen. In other words, if you think stringing tweets together can pass as a story, or prefer to conduct interviews over e-mail, this is not the job for you.

This Staff Writer will be someone adept at, and perhaps addicted to, covering local politics and social-justice issues, but who can also sniff out the odd story about emergent trends in the tech sector or the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sports culture. She or he will come to every editorial staff meeting with two or three new ideas for stories, and will walk away frustrated if the editor only bites on one.

Seattle Weekly is committed to delivering exceptional content to our readers each week, which means that the right candidate will know how to properly nurture a story, working closely with an editor on multiple rewrites to produce a piece that readers will enjoy, respect, and share, even if they disagree with it. He or she will be patient enough to let a story develop, but will also be capable of executing an unreasonably quick turnaround, and will be impeccable in observing deadlines. And the Staff Writer will excel at crafting long-form features, though he or she will also be able to deliver impactful, thoroughly reported accounts in just 800 words.

Since Seattle is an unusually competitive market, the Staff Writer will need to possess an ability to uncover stories that readers wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find anywhere else. Second only to that is an insatiable desire to find a new angle on a well-trod story, revealing something new about a subject that other reporters might think is over and done with. She or he must be able to talk to people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to tell their story, or who maybe think they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a story to tell. The right candidate will be smart enough to find the right sources and brave enough to ask the next, tougher question.

The Staff Writer will also be a delight to work withâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;serious about the task at hand, but able to contribute to a convivial office environment and to participate in group projects with consideration, honesty, and enthusiasm.

And, most important, the Staff Writer must possess the ability to surprise her or his editor. If you are used to setting the bar high and then clearing it with ease, this could very well be the job for you.

To apply, please send a cover letter, resume, and your five favorite stories to: hreast@soundpublishing.com. Please note: ATTN: SWSEA in the subject line.

KENTWOOD WINS BASEBALL OPENER Kentwood High opened the baseball season with an 11-1 win over Rogers on Monday.

Despite graduating seven players from last year, coach Mark Zender thinks the Conks have a “solid veteran team.”

“We expect to make the postseason but (we) know we play in the best league in the state and it will not be easy,” he said about the South Puget Sound League.

Zender said players are ready to step up and fill the spots left by those graduated players. He has been coaching since 1983 and enters his fourth year as coach for the Conks.

Zags’ Bell ready for sweet homecoming

BY MARK KLAAS mklaas@kentreporter.com

For Gary Bell Jr., this homecoming is especially sweet.

Hopefully, the Seattle stop is sugary enough to vault Gonzaga to college basketball’s Sweet 16.

The Zags’ senior guard, a former Kentridge High School standout, is excited about the chance to play in front of family and friends when the seventh-ranked Bulldogs (32-2) open the 64-team NCAA Tournament against North Dakota State (23-9) on Friday night. Tipoff is 6:50 p.m. at KeyArena (TNT).

“It’s great to be coming home. It’s great that Zag Nation can travel (to the game),” Bell said from Spokane, where the second-seeded Zags were preparing to meet the No. 15 seed Bison in a South Region matchup.

“I’m just happy that we get another chance to play. A lot of teams don’t get that opportunity. We have to make the most of it.”

Gonzaga, which makes its 17th consecutive tournament appearance, has won its last six tournament openers but hasn’t advanced to the Sweet 16 since 2009.

Bell and company hope

Ex-Kentridge High star Gary Bell Jr. will start for Gonzaga against North Dakota State in the NCAA Tournament on Friday at KeyArena in Seattle. COURTESY PHOTO, Mike Wootton Photography to change that.

“We’re ready. We want to play beyond this weekend,” said Bell, a 6-foot-2 defensive specialist who also has a deadly 3-point touch.

“We got six more games, hopefully. That’s all we are worried about right now.”

Many of the game’s experts and analysts agree: the Bulldogs have one of their best teams in the field this time around, a versatile bunch poised to make a deep run with a favorable draw.

But Bell and teammates

refuse to take anything for granted.

“That’s hard to say,” said Bell, when asked if this is the best team he’s been a part of in his four years at Gonzaga.

“This team is very versatile and has a lot of weapons.

If we use them right, we’re good. When coaches put us in the right places to produce … we’re good.”

Taking on an unfamiliar foe makes the tournament unpredictable and challenging, especially for those favored.

The Bison, Summit League champions, stunned Oklahoma in last year’s tournament opener, 80-75. They have the Zags’ attention.

“So we can’t take them lightly,” said Bell, the West Coast Conference Defensive Player of the Year, who averaged 8.2 points and 2.5 rebounds this season.

Bell has overcome his share of injuries to stay on the court and become one of the program’s most dependable, productive guards. He broke into the starting lineup

as a freshman and refused to look back, even during difficult times when he couldn’t find his shot.

“I never lost confidence in myself,” Bell said. “I’ve struggled with that early when I was younger – 10, 11, 12 years old – but not since I’ve been older.

“Basketball is a game of runs. Sometimes you (don’t shoot well) in games and sometimes you’re not going to shut down a guy completely,” Bell said. “But you can never lose confidence in yourself. If you’re going to do that, you’re not going to produce for your team.

“If I’m not scoring well, I always try to give it everything I can.”

On a team full of weapons, Bell and backcourt mate Kevin Pangos didn’t have to carry the load at times this season. Instead, the Bulldogs turned to others – notably Kyle Wiltjer, Przemek Karnowski, Domantas Sabonis, Kyle Dranginis and Byron Wesley – to share the wealth.

Bell has been the “glue,” a blue-collar performer who prefers to avoid the spotlight.

He credits his upbringing, his parents and his [ more BELL page 17 ]

Thunderbirds will face Everett or Portland in WHL playoffs FOR THE REPORTER

Tickets for the Seattle Thunderbirds first home game of the Western Hockey League playoffs are on sale.

The T-Birds will face either the Portland Winterhawks or the Everett Silvertips in the opening best-of-seven round.

Games 1, 2, 5 and 7 of the best-of-seven series will be played in either Everett

or Portland. Games 3, 4 and 6 will be played at the ShoWare Center.

Game 3 of the first round will be at 7:05 p.m. on Tuesday, March 31, at the ShoWare Center. The first home playoff game for the T-Birds will be a Director’s Mortgage 2-for-Tuesday game.

All tickets for Game 3 are 2-for-1 and will feature concession specials, including $2 beer, $2 hot dogs, $2 soda and $2 popcorn.

Tickets for Game 3 are on sale on the T-Birds website and at the ShoWare Center box office. The ShoWare Center Box Office is open Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday

His father taught him the game’s fundamentals, up to the fifth grade, and still offers him guidance today. Coach Dave Jamison shaped him into an all-state star at Kentridge. Gonzaga coach Mark Few helped him blossom at Spokane.

“All of them wanted the best out of me,” Bell said of his coaches. “They put me in a great position, wherever I’ve gone, to play well. I just try to play hard, not just for them but for myself and my family.”

For Bell, family includes his girlfriend

10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday game days at 10 a.m. and Sunday game days at noon.

Tickets for the remaining home playoff games will be put on sale once an opponent has been determined.

Everett is in first place in the U.S. Division with 90 points and three games remaining on their schedule.

Portland has 88 points with four games remaining on its schedule.

The T-Birds have 77 points with four games remaining and will not catch either Everett or Portland.

The Spokane Chiefs, in fourth place in the U.S. Division, have 72 points with four games remaining.

and their 14-month-old boy, Gary Bell III. “You’re definitely more responsible,” Bell said of the joys of fatherhood. “I put him first and (it) definitely makes me a better man.”

Bell plans to use his degree in sports management to open up a gym, coach kids and build his own youth programs. He is completing his final two classes this semester to graduate.

He has NBA hopes, but his full focus is on now and his role with the Bulldogs.

The experience at Gonzaga has been everything to Bell, who turned down several Pac-12 offers to become a Bulldog.

“It’s a tight-knit group, and the community here shows a lot of love,” Bell said. “I’m glad I made a decision to become a Zag forever.”
