City studies remodel to increase police station spaceBY STEVE HUNTER
Kent voters could be asked late next year to approve a property tax measure to pay for more space for the police department by re-
modeling existing city buildings.Th e City Council agreed last
week to move forward with a study to fi nd out remodeling costs and funding options. City staff expects to have those details by spring or summer.
Th e council chose to look at the remodeling option aft er voters in November 2014 turned down a bond measure to build a new po-lice station at a cost of $34 million at the same location as the current facility, which was last remodeled
in 1991 to handle 75 offi cers. Th e police department has just more than 140 offi cers and hopes to get to 165 offi cers by 2020.
“We believe the cost estimate will be signifi cantly less than the $34 million stand-alone police
building,” said Derek Matheson, city chief administrative offi cer, at the Nov. 17 council workshop. “We will also start to develop funding options. One of those

When the city of Kent added two more school zone traffi c cameras this fall, city offi cials expected the number of speeding tickets to go up.
But if the month of Oc-tober serves as an accurate indicator, tickets are way down even with cameras
at four elementary schools instead of two.
A total of 974 citations were written for the four schools in October, Kent Police Chief Ken Th omas said at the City Council’s Public Safety Committee meeting on Nov. 10. In Oc-tober 2014, 1,198 citations were issued, according to

A computer rendering shows a proposed remodel of Kent City Hall that would increase space for the police department, in part by replacing a breezeway between City Hall and the police station with an offi ce building and moving City Council Chambers to the fi rst fl oor of the Centennial Building. COURTESY IMAGE
options – though not the only option – could be another ballot measure.”
Matheson said a less-expensive remodeling option rather than a new police facility could give voters a reason to vote for a property tax increase. Th e 2014 bond received 54 percent of the vote but needed 60 percent approval. Th e property tax rate on that measure was 19 cents per $1,000 assessed value or about $57 per year for a $300,000 home.
“We believe we would have a good message for the public in saying we
heard you that you want the police department to have more space but you want us to be more effi cient with our dollars and our space and we have tried to do that here,” he said.
Seattle-based ARC Architects presented a City Hall Space Effi ciency Study to the council at its work-shop last week. Th e council in June approved a $40,193 contract with ARC for the study.
Th e city has about 125,000 square feet of offi ce space spread among City Hall, the Centennial Center, the police station and the City Hall annex.
Th e study showed the
potential to increase space for the police department to about 33,000 square feet from 22,000 square feet, in part by replacing a breeze-way between City Hall and the police station with an offi ce building and moving City Council Chambers to the fi rst fl oor of the Centen-nial Building.
“We are not talking about, especially within City Hall and the police facility, just moving some walls and doorways and adding some new paint,” Matheson said. “We are talking about completely re-imagining the interiors and making it more like a Class A offi ce experience
like our employees experi-ence at Centennial. Th at’s important for police offi cers who are very frustrated and hampered in their work by the layout.”
Rex Bond, an ARC principal architect, told the council the pathway be-tween the police station and City Hall could be turned into more offi ces, possibly
even adding a second story.“We felt this was such an
underutilized piece of land between the two that it was a way to give the police the square footage they desire and if they desire more, a second fl oor or going out (west) further,” Bond said.
Th e remodeling of the Centennial Center could turn the lobby into a
customer service center for all city departments rather than the several public ac-cess points that exist now, Bond said. He added the permit center on the fi rst fl oor of the Centennial has way more space than it needs. Th e fi rst fl oor also could accommodate a large conference room, some-thing the city campus lacks.

Kent Police seek to expand force
Kent Police are trying a few new strategies to get the number of offi cers up to 165 from 147 by the year 2020.
Th e department has 139 offi cers on staff , although it is authorized to employ 147 under its 2015 budget ap-proved by the City Council. Th e number lags because it takes time to get new hires through the police academy, Police Chief Ken Th omas said to the council’s Public Safety Committee during a Nov. 10 report.
Th omas switched a patrol offi cer to work full-time in recruiting in an eff ort to boost the numbers. Th at recruiter recently visited Washington State Univer-
sity in Pullman in an eff ort to get new recruits right out of college.
Two offi cers have been hired but haven’t started yet, two others have con-ditional off ers and there are four vacancies, Th omas said. Th omas recently con-ducted interviews to fi ll the vacant spots.
“By 2020 it would be ideal if we could get up to adding 16 or so additional offi cers in the next four years,” Th omas said.
Th e proposed city budget for 2016 approves boosting the number of offi cers to 150 for a city population of more than 124,000.
“We are going to explore instead of hiring a few at a time, we want to go to civil service and ask for a big push to get a bunch of people - get them hired in larger chunks earlier on or
we are going to get the same results,” Th omas said about being understaff ed.
Th e chief said the force can be down as many as 25-30 offi cers during an aver-age month. But with seven offi cers in training and two just graduated from the po-lice academy, the numbers are going up. Five offi cers are out with injuries. But Th omas expects by early next year to be down just 15 offi cers with the help of three new positions.
Councilman Les Th omas said he heard Normandy Park might be laying off offi cers as part of a budget cutback and wondered if Kent had looked to hire offi cers from that city.
Chief Th omas said Kent will look at Normandy Park and has checked with other

FOR THE REPORTER
Valley Cities has acquired the former Recovery Centers of King County building in Kent, according to a news release from the nonprofi t agency.
Th e facility, at 505 Wash-ington Ave. S., will provide a portion of the essential mental health and substance abuse treatment programs that were slated to be deliv-ered as part of a campus of integrated services called Woodmont Recovery Center in Des Moines, Valley Cities said. Plans for the comprehensive campus have been postponed.
Valley Cities agreed to work with city, county and state offi cials to research alternate sites following a public outcry in the Des Moines community regarding the proximity to an elementary school and library.
“We listened to the com-munity’s concerns about the Woodmont site and explored other options,” said Ken Taylor, Valley Cities CEO. “We know that we’re good neighbors and have a positive impact on the communities we serve. But unfortunately, that’s not enough to overcome the stigma facing our clients. We were lucky to fi nd something that will meet some of the specifi c
needs of people living with mental illness, but this is a very partial solution.”
In addition, the site is ideally located in close proximity to the Valley Cities offi ces in down-town Kent that houses the agency’s administrative offi ces and provides outpa-tient counseling services, Taylor added.
Valley Cities purchased the site for $1 million and will operate mental health evaluation and treatment services out of the facility, the release said. Th ere will be 32 beds available to address a serious shortfall in residential services for people in mental health crisis.
Previously operating as the Recovery Centers of King County, the facility provided intensive inpatient detoxifi cation services for low-income individuals for more than 32 years but ceased delivering services earlier this year due to lack of funding.
Th e facility has the proper permitting and zoning to operate as a mental health treatment facility but requires an estimated $7 million in improvements to meet the state’s license and certifi cation requirements, Valley Cities said.

fi nancially strapped cities such as Memphis, Tenn., and a few in California. Kent can fi ll spots much quicker if it hires offi cers from other police departments because they don’t have to go through the police academy.
But other local cities and the King County Sheriff ’s Of-fi ce also are looking to hire.
“If offi cers in Normandy Park are losing their job, there is going to be fi erce competition,” Th omas said. “We will have our name in the hat but so will King County, Renton and other cities. If you are a candidate
or lateral offi cer, you are in very high demand.”
Th omas said he recently met with his assistant chiefs and asked them what they need in terms of offi cers to run their division. He said he also looked at compa-rable cities to get an idea of how many offi cers the force needs and that’s how he came up with 165 for Kent, with an eff ort to keep overtime costs down.
“We look at our com-parable cities and offi cers per 1,000 residents and for Kent to be in the middle of comparable cities we would need 170, so we are close,”
Th omas said. “My job is to get them
(staff ) the resources to do a good job for our com-munity, and right now we are straining a little bit and I don’t know if it’s sustainable,” Th omas said. “It’s causing incredible stress on our staff .”
Councilman Jim Berrios said he remains a strong supporter of more police.
“I’m encouraged to hear we are looking at things dif-ferently,” Berrios said. “Th is council has been very sup-portive of the police depart-ment in terms of staffi ng and we will continue to be supportive.”

systems – were cut result-ing in the termination of auto body instructor Mark Millbauer, who also served as union president.
Th e faculty union has
presented the board with two votes of no confi dence in college president Eileen Ely — one in 2013 and the second earlier this year.
Faculty members have packed recent board meet-ings calling on the board
to improve low morale on campus. Green River’s main campus is in Auburn with branch campuses in Kent and Enumclaw.
Th e faculty’s message at last week’s meeting was the same.
“We the faculty come here tonight with hearts full of wrath and compas-sion,” Hoene told the board during the faculty report.”It is not our desire to be your adversary, we would rather call you our part-ners, leaders, even mentors, but we cannot. Much as we may desire peace and feel loathe to sit and stand before you today delivering a message that we know will be received with anger, disdain and, quite right-fully, discomfort, we have an obligation to speak this truth to you.”
Hoene told the board it appears to have lost sight of the college’s mission.
“A community college is not a corporation or a branch of government,” she said. “It does not, and should not, work the way those kinds of entities work. … If you do not see that you do not belong here in the fi rst place. You appear to have lost your way and forgotten what a commu-nity college is as well as the sacred trust vested in you to protect it. We are here to remind you, out of our commitment, with grief
in our hearts but also with hope that our confi dence in you might still be restored. We hope you can hear us not as your adversary but as the allies of this beautiful college on a hill.”
Hoene said in an inter-view the vote of no confi -dence in the board doesn’t target a particular board member or call for removal and replacement of any board member. Th e fi ve-member board is appointed by the governor.
“Part of what we are trying to accomplish is to reach outside the college to the governor’s offi ce specifi -cally to say we need some kind of intervention,” she said. “It is not for us to tell him what that should be.”
A spokesperson for Inslee’s offi ce said on Nov. 19 the offi ce had received the vote
of no confi dence but would review it before commenting.
Board of Trustees presi-dent Pete Lewis said the board is limited in how it can interact with faculty due to ongoing contract negotiations.
“We most certainly indi-vidually, and I think I can say collectively, wish to do so,” Lewis told faculty fol-lowing the public comment portion of the meeting. “We can’t do so. When that (negotiations) is done we certainly want to.”
Hoene said the board is using contract negotiations as an excuse for not com-municating with faculty. “He knows we have tried to communicate with them about our concerns before contract negotiations be-gan,” she said. “Th e Board of Trustees was no more
willing to talk to us then than they are now.”
Hoene said the vote of no confi dence was signed by 82 percent of the college’s 112 tenured faculty.
Many faculty members attended the board meeting holding signs expressing their concerns, and several faculty spoke.
Allison Jansen, a political science instructor at the college, talked about the at-mosphere when she started teaching at Green River more than 15 years ago.
“Th e relationships we had across faculty, across staff , across administrators, it was great,” she recalled. “You would run into ad-ministrators across campus and you would talk. You would have real conversa-tion about family, about your work.”
Jansen said the climate has since changed on campus. “Morale has fl ipped,” she said. “It is totally low. We don’t feel respected. We don’t feel we are part of the team any more. I ask you the board, is this what you want? Is this really, really what you want? Because that’s what you have right now.”
Jansen said although she respects Ely as a person she is not pleased with her leadership.
“As a leader of this campus, what we have right now is we have a boss, and we need a leader,” she said.

Kent Municipal Court records.“Wow, I have no idea how to make
sense of this,” Th omas told the com-mittee. “It’s the fi rst month, so I don’t know what it means yet – it’s only one month.”
A total of 332 tickets were issued at Neely-O’Brien, 292 at Sunrise, 132 at Meridian and 50 at Millennium last month. Th e numbers do not total to 974 because of a lag in the court system, Th omas said. But the number of tickets are way down.
Cameras were installed this fall at Meridian, 25621 140th Ave. S.E. and Millennium, 11919 S.E. 270th St. Cameras were installed in 2014 at Neely-O’Brien, 6300 S. 236th St., and Sunrise, 22300 132nd Ave. S.E.
“I understand these are preliminary numbers,” Councilman Jim Berrios said at the meeting. “But it seems to be encouraging that people are learning
we are serious about this. Th is speaks volumes in terms of people taking this serious and you will be cited. We are safer in those school zones and that’s good news - and if this trend contin-ues - it’s very good news.”
Councilman Les Th omas was pleased and surprised with the early numbers.
“We take Neely-O’Brien and Sun-rise with about 600 and that’s cut in half,” he said compared to last year’s numbers. “Th e message has become very clear. I don’t understand Millen-nium and Meridian, I thought those would be higher. I’m really pleased about the other two schools.”
Police issue a $124 fi ne for a vehicle exceeding the 20 mph school speed limit by 1 to 9 mph and issue a $248 fi ne for speeds of 10 mph or faster above the speed limit. Th e program has brought in more than $1 million to the city. Th e police department will spend up to $845,000 of the funds on
city jail renovations, police overtime costs, a use of force training simulator and traffi c safety equipment.
Police started the program in Janu-ary 2014 at the request of Kent School District offi cials in an eff ort to get drivers to obey the 20 mph speed limit at schools where traffi c studies showed the most speed violations.
“I just want to be cautious as we look at last year’s numbers to this year’s numbers,” Chief Th omas said. “We went a couple of months (last year) and made a signifi cant diff er-ence down a couple hundred tickets and then all of a sudden it went higher in 2015 than 2014, so there is still not enough data to draw strong conclu-sions.”
Berrios hopes the numbers prove true.
“Th e intent is to get people to slow down in school zones, and I just hope to God that is what’s happening here,” he said.

BY STEVE HUNTER
Kent Police arrested a woman in her 50s for in-vestigation of fourth-degree assault after she reportedly threw a hot cup of coffee on her brother during a dispute.
The brother told officers that his sister is a drug user. He said one of her friends showed up at about 12:50 p.m. on Nov. 8 at their 80-year-old mother’s house in the 2900 block of South 256th Street, so he told the friend to leave, according to the police report.
That apparently upset the sister, who went into the kitchen, grabbed a hot cup of coffee and threw it on her brother. The brother told police he had put cold water on his clothes and he felt fine despite the hot liquid hitting him.
The sister told officers she was upset with her brother because he is mean to her so she threw coffee at him. The mother of the woman and man told police she has two daughters over the age of 50 who are alcohol-ics and drug users and she wanted them out of the house. She said the son hadn’t caused any problems.
Man dines, dashes
Officers arrested a man for investigation of reckless
driving at about 8:51 p.m. on Nov. 7 after he alleg-edly fled from a restaurant without paying for his food and sped away from police before finally pulling over.
An employee at Jasmine’s Mongolian Grill, 24060
104th Ave. S.E., called 911 to report a customer had left without paying, according to the
police report. The man left in a
green Buick. A witness got the license plate number. Police saw the vehicle going eastbound on Southeast 240th Street at an accelerat-ed rate of speed. An officer activated a patrol vehicle’s emergency lights and started to pursue the car.
The driver didn’t pull over right away, as he hit estimated speeds of 60 mph in a 35 mph zone, sped through the 116th Avenue Southeast intersection and then ran a red light at 120th Avenue Southeast. The driver pulled over at the Kent Covenant Church parking lot, 12010 S.E. 240th St.
Officers handcuffed the driver. He told police he didn’t stop because he was
looking for a place to pull over. The man had a driving while license suspended violation on his record.
A restaurant employee told police they didn’t want to pursue theft charges but wanted the man banned for life from their business.
Man tears up bathroom
Police cited a man for investigation of third-degree malicious mischief after he reportedly tore up a bathroom and a bedroom during a dispute with his mother on Nov. 6 at a home in the 400 block of East Titus Street.
The mother went upstairs when she heard her son swearing at himself while in a bathroom, according to the police report.
She saw the son had removed pictures from the bathroom wall and tore a shower curtain from its rod. He tore up his bedroom in a similar manner.
The mother told her son to leave the home. She thought he had walked away, but then saw him sitting in the driver’s seat of her car. She let him sit there
to calm down. When she went out later to the car, the son had left but the vehicle had a cracked windshield, apparently from when the son punched the window from the inside.
When officers arrived, the son had left the home. They searched the area but couldn’t find him so cited him at large.
Woman caught in stolen car
Officers arrested a woman for investigation of possession of a stolen vehicle after police saw the vehicle pass them at about 9:41 p.m. on Nov. 6 near the intersection of Washington Avenue and West Meeker Street. Police ran the license plate, and discovered the car had been reported stolen.
Officers accelerated to catch the vehicle and watched the driver park the car at the Arbor Chase Apartments, 1615 W. Smith St. The woman driver had a set of keys, but all of them were shaved, something thieves do to keys in order to steal vehicles.
The driver told police she
got the car from a friend who is homeless and that the car belonged to a friend of her friend. She said the friend gave her the key to drive the car.
Police saw the car’s igni-tion had been damaged. They tried the four keys
the woman had and each key started the vehicle. Of-ficers also found four bags in the car that contained a variety of items that belonged to other people, including two blank checks and another check made out for $17,477.

We’ve gotten ahead of ourselves
Th e Paris terrorist attacks. Suicide bomb-ings in Beirut and Baghdad. Th e university killings in Kenya. Th e natural disasters that rocked Mexico and Japan.
With everything that has happened in the past few weeks (the Kenya massacre happened in April but didn’t manage to make headlines until recently), it’s no wonder that our country is still trying to regain its balance while also dealing with our own issues surrounding race,
school shootings and gun control.
We are afraid, prob-ably for good reasons, but I think we’ve let our fear get the best of us and helped us get more than a little ahead of ourselves, especially
concerning the 10,000 Syrian refugees the Obama administration plans to accept into the country over the next year.
Many Americans have an opinion about whether or not the country should continue accepting Syrian refugees. Th irty-one gover-nors have said they will not let refugees into their states, although their legal ability to refuse refugees is questionable at best.
I formed an opinion about this issue straight away, but it wasn’t until I sat down to write about the Syrian refugees did I realize that despite my strong opinion on the topic, I didn’t know why these people are refugees in the fi rst place.
Everyone seems to know that Syria is a “war-torn” country, but beyond that, details are sparse.
Many of the news articles that have come out over the last week about the U.S. accepting refugees have failed to remind us why these people are fl eeing their country. Millions of people have been reduced to nothing more than numbers and a label in our media – silhouettes painted in our minds, the details of their tragic lives escaping our notice.
Th e Syrian civil war started in 2011 as the authoritarian government, led by Presi-dent Bashar al-Assad (and backed by Iran and Russia, according to the BBC), started cracking down on pro-democracy demon-strations. Th e use of heavy-handed force only spurred more of the country’s citizens to call for the President to step down from power.
By 2013, more than 90,000 people had been killed. Between 300 and nearly 2,000 of those deaths have been attributed to chemi-cal weapons that were launched around the capital of Damascus.
Th e weaponized chemical used was sarin, a nerve agent that was classifi ed by the UN as a weapon of mass destruction in 1991. Death by sarin is quick, but not painless. Th e chemical paralyzes the lung muscles, causing the victim to suff ocate within min-utes. Th ose who miraculously survive suff er permanent neurological damage.

Why the delay on fi reworks?
Aft er the Kent voters over-whelmingly (66 percent) voted to ban fi reworks, the City Council now wants to “study the matter further.” Really?
Why did they ask the voter for our opinion? How many complaints do they need to hear? Is there some other agenda they haven’t mentioned, such as lost tax revenue or someone else not making money from selling fi reworks?
I fi nd it diffi cult to believe other issues are infl uencing the council, such as not wanting to deprive us from our “right to explode things” as a way of honoring our country.
I am a veteran and I have no desire to hear something ex-plode on July 4. And certainly if I did, I can see sane public displays everywhere.
I have written down the names of council members who are against the ban on fi reworks, and I will use this as a guide for future votes. I know many other frustrated Kent citizens who are doing the same.– Gregory Honeycutt
What’s the problem? Ban fi reworks
I do not understand what is to discuss concerning ban-ning fi reworks in the city of Kent. Th e City Council has no problem raising taxes without an “advisory vote,” but fails to
follow the clear direction of all who voted.
It is hard to understand what is so diffi cult about taking action on an issue to protect Kent citizens and property.
If all the towns sur-rounding Kent have banned fi reworks, where do you go to legally shoot them off ? Th at is a redundant question, it is Kent.
I urge the members of the council to ban fi reworks, or as an alternative, the citizens who voted for the ban to vote against the members of the council when they come up for election again.– Merle Barnes
Uncaring commentLes Th omas’s comment on
fi reworks makes no sense at all.
Mr. Th omas, let us suppose you want to order a new car,
but it will take a year to reach you. Would you just keep delaying the order because it would take a year anyway?
I think not. Most people would want to order it as soon as possible. But, according to you, it takes a whole year, so what’s the hurry?
Makes no sense whatsoever. You have to think before you say things.
For the people who voted no on fi reworks, your comment is uncaring and belittling to the issue.– Jenn Rivet
Please save charter schools
Th e state Supreme Court’s recent decision not to recon-sider its earlier ruling against voter-approved charter schools is as disappointing as it is un-feeling and mean-spirited.
Despite calls from con-cerned parents, current and past attorneys general, public education groups and promi-nent leaders of both parties, the justices decided to double-down on their determination to close charter schools to chil-dren. Th eir insensitive decision is a blow to disadvantaged families who are under-served by traditional schools.
As Brenia, a student at Kent’s Excel Charter School, told the Washington Policy Center, “I don’t think it’s cool because all

It was particularly mean of them to an-nounce the decision on the same day charter
schools families trav-eled to Olympia to voice their message and their concerns. Th e solution now lies with our elected representatives and with Gov. Inslee to enact a bill that will save this public education option for Washington families.– Washington Policy Center
[ LETTERS from page 6 ]
Assad agreed to a complete removal or destruction of his regime’s chemical weapons (fearing direct U.S. intervention), a mission lead by the United Nations and the Organiza-tion for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.
By this point, the war became sectarianized as the Sunni Muslim majority of the country started fi ghting against Assad’s secretive Shia Alawite sect. Th is religious split has drawn neighboring countries into the war and opened the way for religious extremists, like the Islamic State, to gain a foothold.
Th e death toll rose to 250,000 last August.
Since the start of the war, more than four million refugees have fl ed the coun-try, roughly a quarter of the country’s population.
Th e United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees has estimated that women and children make up 75 percent of the refugee pop-ulation. Close to 40 percent of refugees are children.
A further seven and a half million more Syrians have been displaced inside the country, where the UN says 5.6 million children are in need of humanitarian assistance.
A published UN report estimates 80 percent of Syr-ians now live in poverty.
“War-torn” certainly doesn’t do this sort of dev-astation justice.
And yet, this country’s leaders are trying to fi nd a way to turn these refugees away from a safe-haven that tells the rest of the world to send to it their homeless and tempest-tossed masses.
Although recent events are causing the country to hyper-focus on Syrian refugees, they only make up 2 percent of all the refugees
that came into our country during the last fi scal year, according to the New York Times.
More than 700,000 refugees came into the U.S. during the 2015 fi scal year, the largest groups from Myanmar (nearly 20,000 refugees), Iraq (around 13,000 refugees), and Somalia (around 8,000 refugees).
Washington state alone has received 33,000 refugees since 2003 from all around the world, including Iraq (3,700 refugees) and Iran (1,200). Only 25 Syrian refugees have settled in this state.
Out of the 2,500 Syrian refugees taken in by the US since 2011, 50 percent are children and the rest evenly split between men and women. Only two percent of refugees were single men of combat age.
Th e screening procedure we use to check out Syrian
refugees takes between 18 and 24 months, has an ac-ceptance rate of 50 percent and already involves the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center, the National Coun-terterrorism Center, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of State and the Department of Defence.
Despite this, the House of Representatives recently passed a piece of legisla-tion that would put new screening procedures in place, requiring the director of the FBI, the secretary
of Homeland Security and the director of national intelligence to confi rm each Syrian and Iraqi refugee admitted into the country poses no threat.
But these refugees are families who want a quality life, parents and children seeking asylum from a war that has shattered their country. Th ey deserve our compassion and under-standing, not scrutiny and suspicion.
With that in mind, families in Washington can volunteer through various
agencies like the Interna-tional Rescue Committee in Seattle or World Relief Seattle to host refugees before they are moved into homes of their own.
I stand with Gov. Jay In-slee and the other 12 states that have vocalized their support for these refugees.
Only by putting our fears aside will we fi nd our bal-ance again.

FOR THE REPORTER
Th e line of Nick Holowko, Scott Eansor and Jamal Watson powered the Seattle Th underbirds to a 5-2 West-ern Hockey League win over the Portland Winterhawks in front of a sellout crowd of 6,162 last Saturday night at the ShoWare Center.
Eansor had three assists, Watson had a goal and an as-sist and Holowko had a goal in the T-Birds’ sixth con-secutive win and their eighth straight on ShoWare ice.
Seattle (15-6-1-0) went in front 1-0 on Matthew Barzal’s goal at 7:58 of the fi rst period.
But Portland (11-10-0-0) tied the game 1-1 at 15:44 of the fi rst.
Th e T-Birds scored twice in 31 seconds late in the second period to take a 3-1 lead. Donovan Neuls tipped a Jerret Smith wrist shot from the right circle on the power play past Adin Hill at 16:22. Jarret Tyszka held the puck in at the left point and then got it to Eansor along the left boards. Eansor came off the boards and crossed the puck to Smith.
Eansor set up the T-Birds’ third goal at 16:53 of the second when he picked off a Portland pass just inside the blue line. Eansor skated into the left circle and then crossed the puck to Watson alone in front of Hill. Watson faked a shot getting Hill to go down and then brought the puck to his backhand and slid it
past the sprawling goalie.Paul Bittner scored a
power-play goal 42 seconds into the third period to cut the T-Birds lead to 3-2. Jack Dougherty had the only assist.
Th e T-Birds took the two-goal lead back at 2:40 of the third. Holowko banged in a loose puck in the crease on a scramble in front of Hill.
Seattle made it a 5-2 lead at 4:27 of the third. Ethan Bear crossed the puck from the right point to Turner Ottenbreit at the left point. Ottenbreit took a slap shot. Matthew Wedman tipped Ottenbreit’s shot past Hill for his third goal of the season.
Seattle goalie Logan Flodell improved his record to 10-3-1-0 while stopping 24 of 26 shots.
Th e T-Birds are home at 7:05 p.m. Friday against Vancouver.

Tacoma Stars suff er fi rst loss of Major Arena Soccer League seasonFOR THE REPORTER
Th e Tacoma Stars dropped their fi rst Major Arena Soccer League game of the season as Soles De Sonora grabbed a 6-4 victory last Friday night at the ShoWare Center in Kent.
Th e Stars (4-1) were led by midfi elder Jamael Cox, who had a pair of goals in the third quarter. Tacoma goalkeeper Danny Waltman recorded 10 saves on 16 shots.
Sonora midfi elder Cristhian Segura’s unassisted goal opened the scoring and broke a scoreless tie with under a minute left in the fi rst quarter to give the visitors a 1-0 lead.
Tacoma answered just two minutes into the second quarter with a goal from Ty Hall, his fi rst goal of the season, tying the game at 1-1. Stars midfi elder Joey Gjertsen put Tacoma ahead 2-1 with a
power play goal near the end of the fi rst half. Th e lead did not stand for long, as Sonora would answer with an unassisted goal from Enrique Cañez 19 seconds later to send the game to halft ime tied at 2-2.
Th e third quarter featured three lead changes, two ties and fi ve total goals. Cox began the frame with his fi rst goal of the night, an unassisted score that gave the Stars a 3-2 lead. Sonora midfi elder Alber-to Campoy evened the score at 3-3 just 10 seconds later with an unassisted goal of his own. Two more goals from Sonora (3-1) and a second goal from Cox would send the game to the fourth quarter with Sonora holding a 5-4 edge over the Stars.
With just under a minute left in the match, Sonora midfi elder Gustavo Ro-sales put the game out of reach with an unassisted goal to extend Sonora’s lead to 6-4.
Tacoma is in fi rst place in the Pacifi c Division followed by Sonora, Ontario, San Diego and Dallas.
Th e Stars next game is against the Dal-las Sidekicks at 7:35 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 4, at the ShoWare Center.

another top team in the state.“It was just very unusual
for a small school to, No. 1, win the Puget Sound cham-pionship and, No. 2, to go to that game,” said Gerry Anderson, co-captain of the 33-man team.
Chuck Simpson, who played on the team, gave the presentation to the council recounting the game.
“The museum started doing a presentation in front of the City Council,” Chuck said. “I told my wife, Nancy, ‘I think that ‘54 Turkey Day game was a pretty significant event,’ so then it started snowballing from there.”
Chuck’s father filmed the game — clips from which were shown during the council meeting.
“He (Chuck’s father) liked to take movies,” Chuck said. “He was also a projectionist for local theaters part time. He took pictures from the grand-
stands with his 8-millimeter camera. The next year that convinced (Kent-Meridian head football coach) Jack Burell that they better start filming the games. So the school bought a 16-mil-limeter camera and the film and my dad started taking movies of all the high school football games from 1955 to 1970.”
Several of the members of the 1954 Royals football team recalled the field conditions of the game. The field at Seattle’s Memorial Stadium was sand. Kent-Meridian’s team was used to playing on grass
“We went in and practiced on it one day,” Gerry said. “It could get under in your uniform and grind on you. When we walked out on the field (Coach Burell) said, ‘We are lucky the tide is out.’”
“It was just like playing on the beach,” added Bob Anderson, the team’s co-captain and Gerry’s cousin. “We were waiting for seagulls. I think they came in after we left.”
Garfield scored in the first quarter of the game, at-tended by more than 13,000 fans.
“We were so over-whelmed,” Gerry said. “We had never been in a stadium that had that many people and the noise.”
But, the Royals scored twice before the end of the first half. Bob scored one of the touchdowns despite being injured.
“I was hurt real bad,” he said. “It was our last prac-tice before we went in and I pulled a bunch of things in my leg.”
Garfield scored in the fourth quarter to tie the game. The outcome of the game was better than expected for the Royals as Garfield was heavily favored to win.
As a reward for their efforts in the game, both teams were invited for a free, one-hour airplane ride on a Northwest Orient Airlines Boeing 377 Stratocruiser. The flight would have cost about $700 or the equivalent of
around $6,000 today.“That was the first time
I had ever been in an airplane,” Gerry said. “We flew around Mount Rainier. They had food and drinks for us. It was over the top. Most of the kids had never set foot in an airplane.”

As winter arrives it is time to settle in with some great garden reads.
Garden lovers have been using the winter dormant season to read up on new plants, explore new ideas and study seed cata-logs even before Th omas Jeff erson made it popular among the aris-tocrats of the new world.
Th is year, consider get-ting lost in another time by reading some gardening classics, become inspired by trying a new garden magazines or fall hopelessly in love with a plant you discover on the pages of a garden catalog.
Garden classicsHead to your local
library or computer and look up Beverley Nichols.
Th is opinion-ated, snobby and always entertain-ing author was popular in 1940s and ’50 in post-war England but then forgotten as suburban gar-deners preferred
convenience over the pe-rennial borders that Nichols brags about or his scolding tone on what fl ower colors may clash in a vase.
Today his series of books about his own garden and the visitors he loves to gossip about have been re-printed for a new audience by Timber Press. Th e fi rst
book in the series, “Down the Garden Path,” centers on buying his fi rst thatched cottage and making a gar-den in the English coun-tryside, followed by “Merry Hall” and a list of other books that celebrate his rambling, name dropping and out-of-date methods of garden making.
If you like English gar-dens, history and reading about people that have man servants and drink tea, then Beverly Nichols should be on your list for winter reading.
Garden magazinesTh e trade and shelter
magazines struggled to adapt when new media arrived on the garden scene
but things have settled down and you can still subscribe to “Horticulture”, “Fine Gardening” and my personal favorite, “Th e English Garden” – for ev-eryone who loves beautiful gardens. Blame it on read-ing those Beverley Nichols books, but spending money on this glossy imported magazine is a luxury that rivals chocolate on a cold winter night.
If you can’t fi nd these garden magazines on your local newsstand, you can subscribe online by Googling the name.
Another favorite is one you would never fi nd on local store shelves. It is called “Green Prints,” and there are no glossy photos or “how-to” articles. Instead this small, homespun, quarterly publication from North Carolina celebrates the personal side of gar-dening with stories about garden chores, pruning mistakes and furry garden companions.
“GreenPrints” maga-
zine is a relaxing read that provides an escape from a too busy world. www.green-prints.com
Garden catalogsMany seed catalogs, such
as local Ed Hume Seeds, have gone to online only ordering formats, and this is an effi cient way to order seeds.
For winter escapism, however, the seed catalog that inspires the most edible gardens has to be the Ore-gon-based Territorial Seed Company. Th e off erings of vegetables, fl owers and fruits keeps getting more numerous and there are full color photographs of all the unusual leafy greens, color-ful tomatoes and quirky squash they off er.
For gardeners who might want to purchase beer and wine-making supplies, herbs, vegetables for gour-met cooking – and even the Oregon Pioneer Sour-dough starter – there is the family-run Nichols Garden Nursery catalog that has recently transitioned from paper to a downloadable PDF catalog.
Like Territorial Seed,
Nichols is based in Oregon, so the varieties they sell play well with our climate.
So now I realize I have started and ended this col-umn by recommending both a garden author and a nurs-ery owner with the last name “Nichols.” I’d bet 5 cents that these green-thumbed Nich-ols are related – by plants, if not by blood.
