City parks continue to crumble; more funds needed shunter@kentreporter.com

The city of Kent’s reputation for outstanding parks is changing to outdated parks.

Park amenities such as boardwalks, picnic shelters, docks, playgrounds, restrooms,

ballpark lights and other features are old and in need of repair or replacement. But the city budget for parks includes only about $500,000 per year for repairs when nearly $5.2 million per year is needed.

City Parks Director Jeff Watling told the City Council at

SWEET VICTORY

a Tuesday workshop a similar message he’s delivered the last few years that many parks are nearing a critical stage in need of repairs.

“We are not able to address the majority of needs - not for growth of our system - but needs within our existing system,”

Watling said. “The result is a system that is declining at a much faster rate than we can address …. Performance of our public spaces as the safe, comfortable, modern, vibrant gathering spaces that we need them to be

GREEN RIVER COLLEGE CELEBRATES 50 YEARS

‘You’ve come a long way, baby’ School’s first president marvels at college’s growth, success

Mel Lindbloom, Green River College’s first president, has left his legacy at the school.

A new student union building on the main campus in Auburn, set to open later this year, will bear his name. HEIDI SANDERS, Kent Reporter

A Kent man allegedly chased, shot and killed a 42-year-old Kent man last week near downtown because he claimed the man disrespected his mother. A man who knew both men said it might have been a dispute about a drug debt.

King County prosecutors charged Matthew Charles Chancellor, 37, with second-degree murder and unlawful possession of a firearm on Tuesday in connection with the Sept. 10 shooting death of James C. Knowlton as he sat in his car along East Saar Street just west of Central Avenue South. Knowlton died at the scene. Knowlton died from a single gunshot wound to the chest, according to the King County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Chancellor, who has a felony conviction for burglary, remained in the county jail in Seattle with bail set at $500,000. He is scheduled to be arraigned on Sept. 28 at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent, according to the King

A lot has changed on the Green River College campus since the first time Mel Lindbloom visited the place on Auburn’s Lea Hill more than 50 years ago.

“It is amazing because at my first introduction to this site, 124th Street ended in a big pile of sawdust,” said Lindbloom, who was the

college’s first president for 16 years. “There was nothing, nothing here other than forest.”

Lindbloom, now 90 and living in Lynnwood, returned to the college last week to attend the First 50 Breakfast, a kickoff event to the college’s 50th anniversary celebration. He reunited with friends and colleagues, toured a changing campus and took in the new student life center that will bear his name.

THE KENT SCHOOL DISTRICT will add a King County Sheriff ’s Office (KCSO) School Resource Officer to serve its unincorporated schools, beginning in 2016.

Primary services will be provided to Kentlake High School, and Grass Lake and Sawyer Woods elementary schools.

For the three months that school is out of session,

government and awards about 1,900 grants annually.

Garcia is the first UW Tacoma student to be named a Fulbright scholar.

“My mom thought that was very, very cool,” Garcia said. “It is just the feeling of accomplishment that I broke through that barrier.

With this new mentality, I feel like I can do anything I set my mind to.”

Since graduating from UW Tacoma, Garcia has worked as a legislative aide for King County Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer. While in college, she interned for Sen. Joe Fain, R-Auburn. Garcia also volunteers for several organizations, including Para Los Niños, Boys & Girls Clubs of King County and the Trade Development Alliance of Greater Seattle.

the deputy will provide patrol service in the unincorporated KCSO precinct area.

The shared service, with the school district paying for nine months and King County picking up the tab for the three months that school is out of session, is an arrangement that has operated successfully in other King County school districts for many years.

Garcia applied to the Fulbright program to go to Mexico. After a lengthy application process, including submitting written statements and letters of reference, a language evaluation and interviews, she was accepted as an alternate for the Mexico program. In July, she was given the opportunity to go to Brazil instead, which she happily accepted.

Garcia said she is looking forward to exploring Brazil, learning more about the culture and making new friends. A fluent Spanish speaker, Garcia said she plans to spend the next few months immersing herself in Portuguese.

Garcia said she hopes to volunteer with a nongovernmental organization (NGO) while in Brazil. She plans to pursue a master’s degree when she returns to the U.S. and hopes to work for a nonprofit or NGO. “I have always had a passion for helping people,” she said. “I just wasn’t sure what I wanted to do.”

Kent seeks hotel developer for West Valley Highway office park ties within the park, including two, eight-story office towers and a four-story building.

Boeing originally built the complex in the 1980s as part of its space and defense program before selling off the property after two decades of use. Boeing still has its large facility on the west side of the West Valley Highway.

“It’s one of most attractive offices in Kent but still has higher than we would like to see vacancy rates,” Wolters said about the idea of a hotel to help bring in more activity to the complex. “A lot of

research shows the need for multiple activities in a business park.”

• Wolters also updated the council about the former Top Food & Drug store that closed more than a year ago and remains empty on the East Hill near South 260th Street and 104th Avenue Southeast.

A new hotel might pop up someday along the West Valley Highway across from the Boeing Kent Space Center.

Kent city officials are looking into persuading a hotel developer to potentially build in the parking lot of the Centerpoint Office Park, a 26-acre site between South 204th Street and South 212th Street on the east side of the West Valley Highway.

“We are exploring putting a ho-

“Ownership is in no hurry to lease, but willing to sell. But (the owner) has large portfolio of properties around the country and it is not a priority for them.

State food aid restored for many in need

Gail Yamasaki smiled as children sang in the park on a sun-kissed afternoon.

It was a small but grand celebration for Yamasaki, her family and the Marshallese communities of Auburn, Kent and elsewhere.

A vital state program has been fully restored – thanks to a budget agreement signed by Gov. Hewescraft’s #1 Dealer in the Nation * For Overall Sales * And Customer Satisfaction

Jay Inslee this summer – that will help put food on the table for many struggling, dependent immigrant families.

For five years, families, local leaders and anti-hunger advocates fought deep cuts in the State Food Assistance program, claiming those cuts unfairly burdened immigrant families.

But those families spoke up.

The Children’s Alliance – a strategic organization working for families and children – stepped in, as did other agencies, organizations and legislators.

“Without the Alliance, we would not have been able to get this done,” said Yamasaki, of Auburn, celebrating the victory

at Veterans Memorial Park with family and friends, and local and state leaders last Saturday. “It looks like it’s really paid off. We really appreciate what they’ve done for us.”

People from the Marshall Islands are governed by an arrangement between the U.S. and their country that allows them to live and work in America, generally without a visa. But under changes to welfare laws in the late 1990s, Marshallese immigrants couldn’t receive federal food stamps.

A driver and his passenger were killed in a single-car accident Wednesday morning in Kent just south of the intersection of Southeast Kent Kangley Road and 124th Avenue Southeast.

Kent Police have not released the names of the two men. The driver is a 25-year-old Federal Way man and the passenger a 25-year-old Auburn man.

A passerby noticed a vehicle deep in the woods on the west side of 124th Avenue Southeast and called 911 at about 6:53 a.m., just at daylight, according to Kent Police spokeswoman Melanie Robinson.

The exact time of the crash is unknown.

Officers found two men inside a heavily damaged vehicle. The Kent Fire Department also responded and declared the driver dead at the scene. The passenger sustained lifethreatening injuries and paramedics transported him to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where he later died.

An initial investigation shows that alcohol and speed may have been a factor in the accident, according to a police media release.

Police closed 124th Avenue Southeast between Kent Kangley Road and Southeast 270th Avenue to conduct an investigation of the accident.

His work on behalf of the college began in 1962 when he was an assistant superintendent in the Auburn School District under Superindendent Hayes Holman.

“One of my jobs was to do the work to get the college going,” Lindbloom said. “Hayes had already developed a citizens’ committee of people interested in the college. There was a matter of that committee and others to convince the Legislature to allow more community colleges to be built.”

Under state law, community colleges, then called junior colleges, could not be built in a county where there was already a four-year university. In 1961, that law was changed, effectively paving the way for colleges like Green River. In 1962, the state authorized Green

Tough go at first Lindbloom, who was named president of the college in 1964, said getting the college started was no easy task.

“Ray Needham (the college’s first dean of instruction) and I, along with one of the architects, tramped through brush and found the corners of the buildings on the original master plan,” Lindbloom said. “I just didn’t think it is was going to happen.

There was so much to do.”

Lindbloom recalled his opening comment to faculty: “Now what do we do?”

Since the college opened its doors 50 years ago, it has served thousands of students and conferred about 64,000 degrees.

“I say to Green River College, ‘You’ve come a long way, baby,’” Lindbloom said during the break-

He said he had been trying to talk to Knowlton about the matter, but Knowlton runs away from him every time.

fast. “The expansion of the college has just been amazing. I attribute that to the leadership of the college.”

Lindbloom is most proud of the college’s commitment to serving students. One motto he took seriously during his presidency was “think student, then decide.”

“The element that I am really proud of is the commitment to the worth and dignity of students, and that has been proven over and over,” he said. “It is a great place, and I am very proud of it.”

Lindbloom, who served on a Navy destroyer in the Pacific during World War II, advocated for students during the Vietnam War. Students could defer military service if they were attending college full-time.

Lindbloom recalled that one mother from Kent whose son had been killed in the Vietnam War, donated his $10,000 life insurance payout to the college’s scholarship fund.

As Chancellor rounded a corner, he saw Knowlton backing his car out of it where it was parked.

Chancellor said he drew his gun in an effort to get Knowlton to stop so they

Needham served as Lindbloom’s “right-hand man” during the creation of the college and for its first few years.

Needham and Lindbloom met when they were students at Washington State University, Lindbloom working on his doctorate, Needham on his master’s degree.

“We were just a few doors apart in the dorms together. I used to see Mel every morning when we were shaving,” Needham said.

A few years later they reunited in Auburn.

Needham left Green River in 1970 and went on to serve as president at colleges in Oregon and North Carolina before retiring from Tacoma Community College. He attributes his success as a college president to what he learned from Lindbloom.

“I think I did a lot of things like he did,” Needham said. “He believed in people. He believed in students. He believed in being

Chancellor then returned to his box truck and drove to the First Presbyterian Church parking lot at the intersection of 94th Avenue South and South 248th Street. He reportedly was known to park sometimes at the church and a friend told police that he might have driven there.

The friend also said the dispute between Chancellor and Knowlton might have had to do with $50 Knowlton owed Chancellor, a debt possibly related to drugs.

Police surrounded the truck at the church parking lot the night of Sept. 10.

Officers ordered Chancellor from the truck. He exited the truck but wasn’t cooperative, according to charging papers. He told police to “just shoot him.”

Lindbloom adhered to a handson leadership style, Needham said.

“One technique he taught me was administration by walking around, so I spent a lot of time during my presidencies just visiting faculty, going to the student center, listening to what students had to say …,” Needham said.

“He (Lindbloom) usually taught a class in education, and I did that.”

Lindbloom retired as Green River’s president in 1980. James Chadbourne was the college’s second president before Rich Rutkowski took over the post in 1984.

Rutkowski retired in 2010 and was replaced by current president Eileen Ely. The college’s golden anniversary celebration continues with events throughout the school year. For more information on upcoming events, visit Greenriver50th.org.

Police served a search warrant on the box truck and found a 9 mm handgun in a bag in the back of the truck along with a magazine with nine rounds, a box of 49 bullets and a holster.

Outside of the friend’s house along East Willis Street, detectives found a 9 mm spent shell casing in the gravel near where Chancellor had parked his truck.

A video surveillance camera from a neighbor’s house recorded a white box truck with red flowers on it parking in front of the home at about 10 a.m. on Sept. 10. The video also showed a man exit the truck and appear to reach under the driver’s seat, remove an item and place that item into his waistband. He then ran across East Willis Street and out of the camera’s view.

The 911 call on Sept.

10 came in at about 10:16 a.m. with the report of an unconscious man in a car, said Kent Police spokesman Jarod Kasner. Witnesses started to perform CPR on Knowlton in the street.

Officers and paramedics arrived a short time later and continued CPR before Knowlton was pronounced dead at the scene. Officers then saw that Knowlton had a single gunshot wound in the upper body, Kasner said.

Chancellor has a criminal record including felony convictions for seconddegree burglary in 1999 in Pierce County, first-degree burglary in 2002 in Oregon and numerous misdemeanor convictions including drug charges in 2005 and 2007, unlawful possession of a firearm in 2008, violation of a no-contact order three times in 2010, fourthdegree assault in 2009 and 2010, displaying a weapon in 2011, possession of a dangerous weapon in 2010 and possessing a weapon on school grounds in 2015.

COMMENTARY

?

Question of the week:

The decision of state Sen. Andy Hill not to take on Gov. Jay Inslee in 2016 has forced the Democratic Party attack machine to brake hard and return to the shop.

Its operators had invested much time into manufacturing salvos to launch at the Redmond Republican whom they presumed would be the Democratic governor’s opponent next fall. In recent months, these Democratic operatives even test-fired a few in Hill’s direction.

Now they need to restock and reload for what appears to be a battle with a man they’ve mostly ignored – Bill Bryant, a mild-mannered and widely unknown member of the GOP mainstream, who is an elected Seattle Port commissioner.

As elated as the Democratic muscle is with not having to tackle Hill, it’s hard not to imagine them – and maybe Inslee, too – suffering a bit of a letdown as well.

They expected the governor would face as tough an election in 2016 as he did in 2012.

Yet one-by-one, those with the seeming potential to mount such a challenge have chosen not to do so.

Rob McKenna, who lost to Inslee in 2012, signaled he wasn’t seeking a rematch. State Sens. Bruce Dammeier of Puyallup and Steve Litzow of Mercer Island have also said no.

Congressman Dave Reichert is still talking himself up for the race but seems unlikely to talk himself into it.

If Bryant winds up the Democratic Party’s chief target, it means he’s also the Republican Party’s torchbearer.

That’s going to take some getting used to for GOP leaders. Unseating Inslee is a top priority but they, much like Democrats, had kind of counted on having a better known personality taking on the governor.

Republican leaders must Reichert decide how much the state party will invest in a Bryant bid. There’s a risk that anything perceived to be less than all-in will be deemed a concession that they don’t believe Bryant can win.

In 2012, the party contributed $2 million directly to the McKenna campaign and another $500,000 of in-kind contributions, according to campaign finance reports filed with the Public Disclosure Commission.

Nearly all of that arrived in the general election, so there’s plenty of time to watch how Bryant’s campaign evolves and political events unfold.

Ill-timed ruling disrupts our charter schools It is appalling the ruling against charter schools was made three weeks into the school year.

The state Supreme Court had this case for almost one year, and that they waited until everything was in place and the kids were in class to announce their decision is shameful.

It is tragic to pull these kids out of their school for political reasons. The schools need to stay open until a special session of the Legislator is called or until the next regular one in January, so this can be settled in Olympia.

This school isn’t just about a STEM-based college prep education, it’s about kids who didn’t fit into a traditional school system.

A loss prevention officer at the store reported that the man had worn blue jeans into the store, took three pairs of jeans to a dressing room, and then came out wearing a black pair of jeans, according to the police report. The man put back three pairs of jeans, including the pair he wore into the store, and exited the store without paying for the jeans.

The store employee had the man put his original jeans back on before police arrived. The man told police the black jeans were his and he didn’t take anything.

Officers discovered the man had a syringe in his jeans as well as surgical tubing, which police noted in the report is often used by people to assist with injecting illegal narcotics.

The woman said she had come from Seattle to visit her cousin in Kent.

But a witness backed up the other cousin’s statement that the dispute was about the woman smoking crack in the bathroom. When the cousin confronted her about the drug use, an argument started and punches were thrown.

lot of things there that we can’t be proud of that we should be able to be. There’s a lot of work that’s gone into the system to build it up and we need to figure out a way to take care of it.�

It hasn’t been all doom and gloom for the parks.

Watling said grants and city funds Watling have enabled staff to renovate drainage systems at Earthworks Park; install new synthetic turf at Wilson Playfields; and install new play equipment at Lake Meridian Park, Tudor Square Park, Turnkey Park and Green Tree Park.

The city also received three grants of $500,000 each this year from the Legislature to put toward the expansion of Morrill Meadows Park (at a cost of $2 million) in an effort to bring in a new YMCA; to help pay for a new dock

(cost of $1.75 million) at Lake Meridian Park; and to help fund new synthetic turf (cost of $1.9 million) for a field at Hogan Park at Russell Road.

Watling pointed out that even with its outstanding parks reputation, Kent has fewer acres (8) of developed parks per square mile (about 640 acres) than the peer cities of Bellevue, Everett, Federal Way, Auburn, Renton and Kirkland. Kent also has just 2.28 acres of developed parks per 1,000 residents, the lowest among the seven cities. Kent has a population of about 120,000. “We may have been large when we were a population of 50,000, and we probably were, given most of our parks are of an age when we were a smaller city,â€? Watling said. “But now in land mass and population when we look at our comparable he said. • The former site of Panther Lake Elementary School, at the southwest corner of Southeast 208th Street and 108th Avenue Southeast, remains another piece of property city officials would like to see developed.

cities we are not in a state of being the biggest by any means.�

It’s repairs, however, that the parks need now. “We have gone out to the voters before and asked them if they wanted to invest,� Councilman Dennis Higgins said. “It may be time to look at something like that again.�

Higgins added that voters need to be made aware of the city’s struggles to maintain its parks before the council refers any measure to them.

Ralph said the council doesn’t know yet what it’s going to do to fund the park repairs but it needs to do something. “This is what’s good about Kent is we have an amazing park system,�

Ralph said. “I want to challenge myself and my colleagues as we go into not only mid-biennial budget conversations but going forward that we take a hard the Kent School District on potential redevelopment of the property, possibly including a mix of retail, office and restaurants. • Kent also has a contaminated site that city staff would like to see a developer take over, the former Maralco aluminum facility at 7730 S. 202nd St. “We continue to make slow but steady progress on this large multi-acre site, 12 acres that has sat undeveloped, which is very uncharacteristic for developable land in our low vacancy rate industrial valley,â€? Wolters said.

Marshallese and other groups who hadn’t been in the country long enough to qualify for food stamps.

The program strategically leverages resources to make sure food stamps reach thousands of children in immigrant families.

But given program cuts of the past, especially those in the throes of the Great Recession, area families struggled to eat and meet basic needs.

But that changed with the 2015-17 state operating budget, which makes significant investments in children and families.

Northwest Harvest and the Auburn Food Bank were among the many advocates that joined the campaign.

Sen. Joe Fain, R-Auburn, and Rep. Pat Sullivan, D-Covington, among others, made a push in the Legislature.

Sullivan applauded the efforts but said more work needs to be done for struggling families throughout the state.

look at some of the options that we may have as a council to make some changes. “We had this conversation regarding streets and we went from almost zero funding to at least partial fix because we had that really difficult conversation and took some really difficult votes,â€? Ralph said. “But we are starting to see the payoff, and I feel we have those same kind of opportunities here to build the park system ‌. We owe it to the community to make this better and to have an answer and a solution.â€?

The council approved a new business and occupation tax (B&O) in 2012 that brings in about $5 million per year for street repairs.

The council hasn’t voted on any new taxes or fees for parks in the last three years besides the property tax measure in 2012 that voters turned down.

Examples of the decaying parks include a closed boardwalk at Lake Fenwick Park; a 40-year-old restroom with plumbing problems and grandstands in need of repair at Kent Memorial Park; a popular slide removed from Springwood Park; a staircase closed at Earthworks Park; a dock in need of replacement at Lake Meridian Park; and closed tennis courts at Garrison

Creek Park.

Kent voters in 2012 turned a down a property tax levy that would have raised money for street and park repairs. Now the council must determine whether to submit another measure to voters for parks, possibly sell off excess city property to raise money for parks or some other ideas to fix up the parks. “Kent’s a city that’s been known for its park system for as long as I can remember,� Council President Dana Ralph said. “There’s a

THANK YOU

FOR 23 YEARS OF CONTINUED SUPPORT! Nominated for:

Mary’s Fine Food – For Kyung-Hee Lee, it’s all about serving up good food for good company. She and her family have been doing it for 23 years in the heart of the Kent community. “We put our love into our cooking,” said Lee, owner and operator of Mary’s Fine Foods, a local favorite for classic and home-spun American cuisine. “Our customers really love it,” she said. “Whenever they come to our place, they feel like family. It’s like home to them.” Lee and her family – which includes her deceased husband, Tae-Ho Kim, and two sons, Brandon and Justin – have proudly made it a successful business. Their family officially celebrates 23 years on the Kent restaurant scene Sept. 20.

Lee and her family are the third owners of Mary’s Fine Foods, 23641 104th Ave. After immigrating from South Korea in 1987, Lee and Kim decided to get into the restaurant business. Five years later, they bought the eatery, retaining the restaurant’s original 1974 name to honor and retain its loyal customer base. She hasn’t looked back since. “I’m so proud of our 23 years at the same spot, serving great food to our customers,” Lee said. “I would like to thank all of our customers for their support.”

Mary’s Fine Foods offers excellent food and service. They serve only fresh ingredients, with a menu filled with a great variety of food to choose from. Like California Benedict, Joe’s Special, Montana Potatoes and many omelets as well as a wide selection of lunch choices. Lee and her family make their own dressings, gravies, sauces and soups on a daily, fresh basis.

Lee’s hard working, considerate and genuinely passionate for cooking beloved husband, Tae-Ho Kim, was deceased on June 18, 2015, due to his long years of illness, and he will be truly missed a lot by Lee and her family and many regular customers at Mary’s.

The restaurant is open 7 a.m. – 3 p.m. Monday – Saturday; 7 a.m. – 1 p.m. Sunday. Dinner reservations are available for parties of 8 or more people between 3 p.m. – 7 p.m.

K-M rallies to edge Auburn for Taylor Trophy

BY MARK KLAAS

SPSL Northeast 4A

mklaas@kentreporter.com

Neighborhood pride is important to a Kent-Meridian High football program that has played in the shadow of its rival in recent seasons.

Just ask coach Brett Allen, whose big-play Royals overcame Auburn 41-36 last Friday night to retain the Taylor Trophy. “It’s a pretty big deal ever since we got competitive again the last couple of years,� Allen said as his jubilant players hoisted the storied trophy after their last-minute win at Auburn Memorial Stadium. “The games have been good, so the rivalry has been reenergized a little bit. “To be able to walk around with your chest out a little bit has been good,� he said. “It’s great for our community, it’s huge for our school and for our kids, our seniors especially, to be able to win it two years in a row.�

Kent-Meridian had endured a 15-game losing streak to Auburn in the state’s second-oldest series before snapping that skid with a 42-39 overtime win at French Field last year.

The Royals (1-1) overcame another drama in the rivalry last week, evening the series, which began in 1908, at 50-50 with six ties.

Behind a quick-strike offense and Shamar Malik Woolery’s powerful running, the Royals are poised to compete in the South Puget Sound League Northeast 4A race.

Not too many folks are talking about the Royals and their playoff chances this fall. “They definitely should be,� said junior quarterback Ben Woods. “We beat an unbelievably good Auburn team.�

Woods passed for 290 yards and a pair of touch-

CONKS OUTLAST JAGS, 42-32 | PREP FOOTBALL Chavez Kalua-Fuimaono ran for 194 yards and four touchdowns, leading Kentwood to a 42-32 nonleague football win over Emerald Ridge at French Field last Friday night.

Kalua-Fuimaono’s 31-yard run with 1:51 remaining in the game sealed the win for the Conquerors (1-1) over the Jaguars (0-2).

Brian Campbell threw for a pair of TDs for Kentwood.

Kentlake 42, at Decatur 0: Andrew Dixon ran for three TDs, leading the Falcons (1-1) to a nonleague rout of the Gators (0-2) at Federal Way. Cody Faulkner returned an interception 47 yards for a TD and Trey Helgeson threw 21 yards to Austin McBryde for another score.

At Mercer Island 37, Kentridge 14: Mason Glover threw one TD pass and Sam Mullins recovered a fumble for another score in the Chargers’ nonleague loss to the Islanders.

Glover found Jordan Omatsu from 19 yards out for Kentridge (0-2). Mercer Island (1-1) led 30-0 at halftime.

Kent-Meridian’s Malik Woolery breaks free for one of four touchdowns last Friday night in Auburn to help the Royals beat the Trojans 41-36. RACHEL CIAMPI, Reporter downs to Emmanual Daigbe from 56 and 69 yards out.

Woolery, a jitterbug of a running back, did his part, rushing for 90 yards and a personal-best four TDs. The 5-foot-8, 155-pound senior blasted up the middle from 25 yards out with 57.3 seconds left in the game as the Royals survived a penaltymarred, nonleague affair.

Woolery overcame cramps, bumps and bruises to give the Royals’ spread offense some ground support. He also scored earlier from 6, 17 and 33 yards out. “You can’t go down as a running back. That’s your job ‌ to stay up,â€? he said of taking the pounding.

Allen said of Woolery: “Pound for pound, he’s our strongest player.�

Auburn (0-2) had taken a 36-35 lead on Caden Borden’s 23-yard field goal

with 1:31 left in the game before the Royals countered quickly, with Woods directing the show.

Woods found Woolery for one reception that covered 26 yards to Auburn’s 40-yard line. He then hit Daigbe for 14 yards to the 25. On the next play, Woolery vaulted up the middle to score the game-winning TD. “I believe in Ben. We were never worried,�

Woolery said of the late drive. “These guys, right here? We’ve been working all summer,� he said of the Royals’ no-quit demeanor. “No matter what, we pull through. When we get tired, when we get hurt, we keep pushing through because that’s what we’ve been doing all summer in preparing for this.�

Woods had good protection to deliver from the pocket.

“I have to give my teammates the credit,â€? he said. “You don’t understand how easy it is when you have so much time (to throw) ‌ to sit there and pick people apart.â€?

Daigbe, a big target, finished with seven catches for 215 yards. He also came up with the game-ending interception.

Auburn’s playmaker shone.

Malik Williams returned a kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown, ran for one score and caught another. Quarterback Justin Ioimo ran for 120 yards and two TDs. “We just ran out of time,� said Auburn coach Gordon Elliott. “(K-M’s) a very

good team. It’s tough to outscore that kind of team because they have weapons.

We got into that kind of match with them. Normally, that’s not our style of football. Our style is to keep the ball away from them and pound the ball and move the ball. We got into a situation where we had to outscore them. We almost got it done.�

K-M, which travels to Federal Way to take on Todd Beamer on Friday, has room to grow before beginning league play. “It’s a tough division. If we can stay healthy and keep improving each week ‌ we can win our division,â€?

Allen said.

FOR THE REPORTER

Stryker Phd was handed a tough assignment Sunday in the $60,000 Muckleshoot Tribal Classic at Emerald Downs.

But once again, the champion would not be denied.

Tested the length of the stretch by Noosito, Stryker Phd showed his mettle with a hard-fought three-quarter length victory in 1:40.75 for 1 1/16 miles. Ridden by Leslie Mawing at 124 pounds – six more than his four rivals – Stryker Phd paid $2.40, $2.10 and $2.10.

Noosito, ridden by Juan Gutierrez, took a brief lead while three-deep into the stretch, but was immediately tackled by Stryker Phd and the two Washingtonbreds locked horns to the

wire, with Stryker Phd a tad better. Noosito paid $2.40 and $2.10.

With the victory, Stryker Phd tied Stopshoppingdebbie’s track record of eight straight stakes wins, a streak that began two years ago with a victory in the Muckleshoot Tribal Classic, and includes the last two Longacres Miles.

A 6-year-old gelding by Bertrando-Striking Scholar, Stryker Phd is 9-5-5 in 22 career starts, and earned $30,000 to leapfrog Captain Condo into No. 8 all-time among Washington-breds with $515,651. Larry Ross is the winning trainer for owners Jim and Mona Hour of Bellevue, Wash.

In his last eights starts at Emerald Downs, 8-8-0-0 with $386,180 in earnings.

“He’s a very special horse, no doubt about it,” a tearful Sharon Ross said in the winner’s circle. “(Today’s race) was totally not his

style, but he did it.”

Noosito stalked the pace as Until You and Westley led through fractions of :23.76, :46.68 and 1:09.88.

Gutierrez pushed the button on the last turn, and Noosito rallied to a slight lead at the quarter-pole.

But Stryker Phd, a bit closer than usual, unleashed a four-wide bid under Mawing and collared Noosito at the eighth-pole. It was a match-race from there, and Stryker Phd proved best.

“I’m so familiar with Stryker PhD’s running style, and I know he’s got a kick, especially around the turn, so I wasn’t too concerned,” Mawing said. “I knew Noosito was going to give me a hard time, but once I get the lead, Stryker PhD’s heart just gets bigger and bigger.”

Gutierrez said Noosito, bidding for a third straight Washington Cup victory, lost nothing in defeat.

Consider tree, shrubs, bulbs for your autumn planting spree

Q.

A.

THE KING COUNTY COUNCIL has approved a new plan to help restore salmon habitat along the Green River.

Named “Re-Green the Green,” the program will use several existing sources of funding to plant shade trees along the Green River to help maintain lower water temperatures during periods of extreme heat.

“Our iconic king (chinook) salmon are dying in the Green River because the water is too warm,” said King County Councilman Dave Upthegrove, whose District 5 includes Kent. “These salmon need cool water, food and shelter to survive. The most affordable way to help cool the water in the Green

removed when the tulips fade.

Q. Are there any spring bulbs that the deer will not eat? What about bulbs that will survive in dry shade?

My idea is to plant a host of yellow daffodils under a maple tree that I can see across our field. I have seen deer in this area, however.

L.P., Yelm I like your idea. Daffodils are naturally rodent and deer resistant and they will thrive even in the dry shade of a tree. The miniature or dwarf daffodils are the earliest to bloom and easiest to plant as you need only dig down a few inches before popping in a dwarf daffodil and covering it back up with soil and fallen leaves. Look for the varieties Tete a Tete, February Gold, and a sweet smelling mini daffodil called “Minnow.” Dwarf daffodils also have the advantage or returning year after year and spreading into larger colonies.

I want recommendations for an evergreen shrub that can handle dry shade. I need to screen off a compost pile and other unattractive sites in my landscape. Please don’t recommend rhododendrons.

I tried a row of large leaf rhodies and then watched them slowly die because I never remembered to water.

W. R., Email At least you fessed up about never remembering to water your rhododendrons. No tree or shrub will do well if the soil is allowed to dry out before a new root system has had time to spread out and find moisture. This can take one

Marianne Binetti

Get thee to a nursery this week because as fall settles in the prices on trees and shrubs goes down.

Fall closeout sales are a good investment, especially for larger trees and shrubs.

Fall is best for planting trees and shrubs because the soil is still warm from the summer, encouraging new root growth. But the autumn rains mean you can let nature take over your watering chores.

This is also a good week for buying spring blooming bulbs.

Tulips, daffodils, crocus and other spring bloomers are planted in the fall but will sprout and bloom in the spring. Buy bulbs as soon as you see them for sale for the best selection. If you can pick them from an open bin reach for the largest bulbs you can find. Bigger bulbs bear more blooms.

I am going to buy more tulip bulbs this fall, but I have been disappointed in the past as very few of the 50 bulbs I planted actually bloomed. Why? Tulips need to be a mature size to flower so make sure you invest in full-size bulbs that are firm with no signs of rot. Tulip bulbs at least 12 centimeters in diameter are considered superior. Tulips also need soil that drains quickly so pick a raised bed or area with sandy soil.

Mice and voles will eat tulip bulbs and deer will nip off the buds before they bloom. Try planting tulips in a large container to keep them safe from rodents.

You can even plant groups of tulips in recycled plastic nursery pots that can be set into the ground when in bloom and then easily

Q.

A.

River is to plant large trees along the river to provide shade and shelter.”

The council approved the program on Monday as part of unanimously adopted changes to the county budget. Through the plan, King County will work with the cities of Kent, Auburn and Tukwila, as well as the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe and private property owners to identify stretches of the Green River where large trees can be planted to provide shade. The program will build upon mapping work already completed by the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe.

The King County program will then use voluntary, non-regulatory ap-

to two years.

Rhododendrons suffered tremendous stress from the high temperatures this past summer and fall is the time when the rhododendron is setting flower buds for next year. Everyone with rhododendrons should remember to water them in late summer. Give up on growing rhodies in your dry area.

Instead of adding a shrub, you may want to consider a screening fence.

This will take up less room than a hedge, and you won’t have to remember to water.

If you do want a living green hedge, add compost to the soil before you add the new plants, mulch the top of the soil with two to three inches of bark chips and then next summer lay a soaker hose at the base of the hedge so that it will easier to keep the new planting watered. A few evergreens that can adapt to dry shade include yews, viburnums, laurel, nandina and aucuba.

proaches, such as grants, incentives and technical assistance to work with local governments and private property owners to plant trees to provide needed shade.

“People know that salmon are threatened, and I have talked with hundreds of people who want to help,” Upthegrove said. “Re-Green the Green will coordinate these efforts so we can make the most of scarce resources to provide shade and habitat for the salmon.”

The Green Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Habitat Plan calls for the planting of native shade trees to cool the river and improve the water quality.
