When Kelly Apperson and Linet Madeja go on their third trip to Haiti together later this year they hope to go with a sizable donation.

Apperson, who graduated from Tahoma High in 2009, and Madeja, who graduated from Renton High the same year, met their sophomore year at Seattle Pacific University when they were assigned to the same missions team that was bound for Haiti.

“I’ve always had a desire to serve abroad, especially medically based, and the opportunity came about and Haiti was one that struck me,” Apperson said. “Ever since going, my heart’s been stuck there. Can’t shake it.”

On that first trip, the two women joined a group of their classmates who served with Foundation for Peace, a nonprofit based in New Jersey that does work in Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

“That was my first choice of places to go because of the recent earthquake,” Madeja said, refer-encing the 2010 earthquake that

The two parties responsible for the murder of a 39-year-old Kent woman, who was found in the trunk of her burned car near Black Diamond, have been sentenced to prison.

Kent residents, and co-defen-dants, Kennon Fastrup, 32, and Michelle Backstrom, 37, were sentenced Friday, with Fastrup receiving 45 1/2 years in prison and Backstrom sentenced to 12 1/2 years. A jury convicted Fastrup last month on charges of first-degree murder, second-degree arson, attempting to elude and violation of a no-contact order. Backstrom pled guilty in March to a charge of second-degree murder. According to the King County prosecutors, the pair murdered Denise Grigsby, 39, in May of 2012 after an argument.

Howard “Howie” Koch’s head settled on a com-fortable shoulder as each

of his fellow new police chiefs were ceremonially pinned with golden badges.

He was practically sleeping on the job. Though, it was also hard to blame him — lunch hadn’t yet been served and it had already been an eventful day.

Koch and 33 other King County youngsters were anointed Chief for the Day on Aug. 21, with emotional ceremonies and law enforcement related ac-tivities for hun-dreds of the little chiefs’ friends, families and officers from around the coun-ty. The event out- fits children suffering from chronic or terminal illnesses with mini, hand-tailored uniforms, a certifi-cate, badge and, most importantly, a day of blissful distraction.

Doctors diagnosed Koch with stage four neuroblastoma in Dec. 2013, at the age of 2. Koch

“I just sold you a computer, didn’t I?”Tahoma Superintendent Rob Morrow joked with a room full of educa-

tors and community members last week as he used an illustration about Apple to explain the district’s Future Ready initiative.

It went something like this: most companies and organizations think what, then how, then why. But companies like Apple, Morrow said, think why, then how, then what. In Apple’s case the “why” of innovation and creativity create a consequence, or “what”, of great computers and devices. For Tahoma the “why” of, “all students have the skills and experiences to create a viable, valued path to lifelong personal success” — the district’s mission statement — leads to a “what” or consequence of students earning diplomas.

“When they (students) walk across the stage we don’t want to just hand them a diploma, but a future as well,” Morrow said. “That, my friends, is Future Ready.”

The event at which Morrow was speaking was part professional develop-ment for the group of Tahoma teachers and administrators and part formal launch of the district’s Future Ready vision. Also present were members of the community, including business and civic leaders. The idea was to pres-ent the ideas the district has been refining and putting into place over the last several years to a wider swath of the community.

Morrow explained the idea and discussions that would become Future Ready began between three and four years ago at Tahoma High School. As the vision for the new Tahoma High School was born and took off with the passage of the district’s construction bond, district administrators con-tinued to examine content and programs in light of the district’s pending realignment.

The crux of Future Ready is that by the time they graduate, students have a goal and the skills to make it happen, Morrow said.

Also a part of the event was a panel that included Maple Valley-Black Diamond Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Sue VanRuff, Boe-ing’s Director of Strategic Workforce Planning Duane Shireman, Maple Valley City Manager David Johnston, Tahoma High student Jayaram Ravi

and school board President Mary Jane Glaser. Each panelist spoke about their perspective on Future Ready.

“The Future Ready skills are dead on,” Shireman said. He explained that he looks for people who know how to learn, who are balanced and who are accountable for decisions and the future.

Johnston spoke about the evolving vision for Maple Valley’s future and the development possibilities in the Donut hole and the opportunity that the new high school in the Donut Hole, and future development of the rest of the Donut Hole land, bring to the city.

“We have exciting opportunities because everything in coming together,” Johnston said. “This is one of the top cities to raise children and families and we have to keep working on it.”

Glaser spoke about the progress the district has made since the ‘90s and on how the board views their role as supporting teachers and student learning.

“It’s just so exciting to know how we have come together as a system,” Glaser said.

Also in the works this year is revitalizing the Tahoma Schools Founda-tion.

“It’s actually been around for along time but it’s been sort of dormant,” Tahoma Spokesman Kevin Patterson said. “It’s a fundraising organization and efforts are being made this year to really revive it.”

The foundation, which is an independent nonprofit run by community members, has traditionally been used to fund extracurricular related trips and activities for students, like We the People traveling to nationals or travel by the robotics team members for competitions. Patterson said that the foundation will be doing a fund drive this fall.

In closing, Morrow said that everyone in the community has to ask themselves two questions: where do they fit in to the Future Ready vision and how do they contribute.

“We’ve climbed a pretty good hill here in Tahoma,” Morrow said. “Lets look for the next hill to climb.”

RESIDENTIAL VALUATION NOTICES MAILED TO BLACK DIAMOND AND EAST MAPLE VALLEY PROPERTY OWNERS

The King County Assessor’s office has mailed the 2014 property valuations to all residential property owners in Area 57, which includes Black Diamond and East Maple Valley. Area 57 residential property values generally increased by +12.8% but individual property values might vary. The Assessor’s Office will continue to mail out more than 600,000 residential and commercial valuation notices to taxpayers throughout the rest of King County between August and October.Residential property is assessed each year at 100 percent of its true and fair market value in money, which is defined by Washington State law as the amount of money that a willing and unobligated buyer is willing to pay a willing and unobligated seller. Residential values are determined based on multiple sales of similar properties.

The King County Assessor’s Office annually revalues all properties and conducts a physical inspection on each property once every six years. The last physical inspection of the Black Diamond and the East Maple Valley area was conducted in 2011.“Continuing the 2013 trend, property values are increasing across King County as we emerge from the Great Recession,” said Assessor Lloyd Hara in a press release. “In 2013, we saw a residential increase in 76 out of 86 residential areas in King County and we expect to see continued growth in residential values for 2014.”Property owners can review property information online using eReal Property and review our Area Reports on the Assessor’s homepage at www.kingcounty.gov/assessor or with the Assessor’s staff to make sure an error has not been made. King County allows 60 days from the valuation’s postmark date to file an appeal with the King County Board of Equalizations.If a mistake has been made in valuing property, it is recommended to contact the Assessor’s Office directly before filing an appeal at 206-296-7300 or assessor.info@kingcountygov.

“Here’s one last joke for all you mind readers out there.”

Slight pause, then a knowing head bob and a laugh.

“Good one!” or “I got it!” A guest was almost assured to yell, as they were helped out of the boat.

This was the final joke that was in vogue when I used to work the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland.

It’s funny how jokes come and go in the Jungle. There are the ones that never change, of course, like the backside of water, — don’t try that at home, you’ll hit your head on the back of the faucet — and then there are the ones that catch the fancy of the crew during any particular season. At the time I was in the Jungle, there was some joke making the rounds upon departure from the dock — something like, “And we’re off like a herd of stampeding turtles!” Don’t ask.

The end of the seven-and-a-half minute spiel was potentially the hardest. If things were backed up at the dock you could have several ex-tra minutes to fill and every skipper worth their salt had a long lineup of corny ways to keep the guests entertained, with no new visual scenery to prompt the popping of the next pun. Seeing what jokes are making the rounds is one of my favorite parts of visiting the Jungle these days. To see what changes. And what hasn’t.

As for me, much has been changing in my little corner of the world lately.

Next week I’ll be concluding my time at the Reporter and embarking on my next profes-sional writing and communications adventure.

I’ll have one more round of stories and a column next week, but by the time it hits front porches I’ll be at my new gig, so I wanted to get my goodbyes in now.

I have so enjoyed my time in Maple Valley, Covington and Black Diamond, and I’ve had such fun getting to meet so many members of the community and tell your stories. Thanks for sharing them with me. I am thankful I got to start my writing career here with y’all, and that Kris, Dennis, and Polly took a chance on me. In a lot of ways it feels like I started just yesterday. I can hardly believe it’s already been over a year and a half. There have been a lot of memories and experiences packed into those days.

It still feels a bit surreal that this is happening, but it is and onward I go. There are things I will definitely miss here, but I am thrilled about this next leg of my journey as a writer. I look forward

to watching from afar as the new Tahoma High is built and to see what the future brings these communities. I’ll still be out and about around the community and if you see me, by all means, feel free to say “Howdy.” Bonus points if you can quote the Mark Fink Keel Boats spiel opening. Or name your favorite Jungle joke. Stay tuned next week for my Disneyland Half trip report, which will be my last column.

“Well folks, I hope you had a good time out there. If so, remember my name is Skipper Katherine and this has been the World Famous Jungle Cruise. If not, my name’s Erin and this has been the Storybook Land Canal Boats. As you exit please watch your step, and watch your head. If you miss your step and hit your head, please, watch your language. There are children everywhere. And here’s one last joke for all you mind readers out there.”

Question of the week:Vote online:Do you think Bill Allison should step down as mayor?maplevalleyreporter.comcovingtonreporter.com

Last week’s poll results:Should local police forces be armed with tanks and heavy artillery?Yes: 25% No: 75%

‘Somebody needs to do something’ regarding Bill Allison

Many of you have been following the news-paper articles in the Reporter documenting the problems our (Maple Valley) mayor, Bill Allison, has been having of late. If you have missed them I strongly recommend you go into the Reporter website and search for Bill Allison. There are two articles and they are worth reading. The Voice of the Valley has a link on their home page for the KIRO TV segment that was on TV August 15 and 16 after the second article in the Reporter. In that interview I stated that I thought the mayor should resign.

Many citizens have come to me, especially after the first article, telling me experiences and stories and have asked me, “What are you going to do about this?”

(City) Council discussed this issue once in an open forum before the police investigation was completed and issued. Then we had an

executive session and discussed the issue again after the investigation was issued. No further action has been taken.

If the mayor won’t voluntarily resign as mayor, council has the authority to remove him with a super majority vote of five coun-cilors. With seven council members we did not have a super majority, and after Councilor (Victoria Laise) Jonas resigned, that left coun-cil with six members and no super majority. The other possible action would be a recall election initiated by the citizens to remove him from council entirely. But the issue that concerns me the most is this: Many people have thanked me for my strong consistent position on this matter and have said repeat-edly, “Somebody needs to do something,” the implication being that “I” need to do some-thing. I agree that “somebody” needs to do something but I am only one of seven City Council members.

When the citizens wanted ball fields, council was inundated with emails, letters and public comments at council meetings. When council was considering a new waste hauling con-

tract for the city, council was inundated with emails, letters and public comments at council meetings. But with this issue before us, all we have gotten are private conversations. These stories that have been told to me need to be shared publicly, otherwise they are only gossip.

When interviewed on the KIRO TV seg-ment on Maple Valley, I said that I thought the mayor should resign. This has not made me very popular with my fellow council members. We say on council “pick your battles,” and this is not one I can win alone. Maple Valley has won several awards naming it “Most Livable City” and I believe it is worth the effort to maintain that designation. I agree “somebody needs to do something.”

As a child when I would make statements like that, my mother would say, “Well, you are somebody.”

Are you somebody?

We’ve Got You Covered

425-432-1209

The last week of August marks the beginning of a new garden season. The stars of the late summer garden are hardy fuchsias, hydrangeas, asters and prairie flowers like Rudbeckia daisies and ornamental grasses. You can start cleaning up the sum-mer garden by cutting back perennials past their prime and pulling any weeds that have sneaked into garden beds.

The rule of green thumb when it comes to late sum-mer pruning is this: If it is yellow, let it mellow but if it is brown, cut it down. This means the yellow foliage of a lily can stay but once you

see those leaves turn brown cut the stalk all the way to the ground.

Q. I loved your sugges-tion about using boiling water to kill the weeds

that grow between the cracks of the sidewalk – thank you, it worked like a charm. Now I have some bare soil between

the stepping stones and want to plant something low that will crowd out the weeds. Do have any sugges-tions? B.T., Edgewood

A. My favorite low growing ground cover for a mostly sunny site is Elfin Thyme because the tiny green leaves form a weed-

blocking mat. If you have an area that is shady I sug-gest a compact ajuga with dark leaves called ajuga ‘Chocolate Chip.” Both do a good job of blocking weeds. You might want to add the great smelling chocolate cosmos nearby the ajuga so you’ll have the start of your own chocolate theme garden.

Q. I have a beautiful hydrangea that is getting too large! I tried cutting it to the ground but then it didn’t bloom the following year and now it is back to being over 12 feet tall. I do take off the dead blossoms but other than that I don’t know how to keep my hy-drangea small and still get flowers. K.K. Longview

A. Don’t fight Mother Nature. It sounds like you

have a traditional big leaf hydrangea and in our cli-mate this shrub is predeter-mined by Mother Nature to become a 12 foot shrub. It only blooms on two year old wood so if you give it a severe pruning each year it will not flower. I suggest you move it or lose it. There are new more compact hydrangeas available that can be pruned back every year and still flower on one year old wood. These are called the Endless Summer hydrangeas. You might also try the dwarf hydrangeas such as Pia or Mini Penny. There are also some dwarf hydrangeas from Germany that are named after Euro-pean cities such as Vienna, and Paris. Fall is a good time to visit nurseries and look for the new and im-

proved hydrangea varieties. Q. How does one know

when corn is sweet and ripe? I know you should taste it but what if you buy it at the store or farmer’s market? D.M., Puyallup

A. Use your fingernail to test the sweetness of corn. Pull back the green leaves and puncture a kernel with your fingernail. The moisture inside should be white and the consistency of milk. Clear liquid means too early, and thick creamy liquid means past its prime. The best tip for great corn on the cob is to get the water boiling first, then pick the corn from the plants, strip off the leaves and silk and plop the fresh corn immediately into boiling water. As soon you pick the ears of corn from the stalk

the sugars begin to turn into starch and you lose the sweet flavor – so eat fresh. tes, fertilize and hope for the best.

The Executive Com-mittee of the King County Flood Control District gave its approval to a recom-mendation that the city of Covington receive a Flood Control District grant from

the newly created program aimed at reducing the im-pact of local flooding.

The $176,000 grant recommended for the City of Covington’s Clements/SE 263rd Place Stormwater

Conveyance Improvement Project will replace an undersized, homeowner in-stalled drainage system that conveys municipal surface water to Big Soos Creek. This area has experienced flooding and maintenance issues in this area for some time. The new drainage system will work to alleviate those flooding issue.

“Project funding is hard

to come by these days,” said Jeff Wagner, Coving-ton Mayor Pro Tem, in a press release. “We are very happy to move this project forward thanks to the King County Flood Control Dis-trict’s new grant program.”

The new grant program targets flood reduction projects throughout King County. A total of $2.6 mil-lion in grants are available in 2014, with the funds being awarded on a com-petitive basis by the Flood Control District.

Eligible applicants included homeowner as-sociations, private nonprofit organizations or asso-ciations, schools, special districts, tribes and King County jurisdictions.

Final action on the recommendation will oc-cur before the next King County Flood Control District Board of Supervi-sors meeting.

caused extensive damage throughout the country.

On that trip the team’s goal was to help build a school.

“Most of our first trip was building the foundation for the school,” Apperson said. “I remember before we left for the first trip they were about to put up an LA fitness. We went to a trip, built the foundation, came back and the LA Fitness was almost already up. I remember feeling so discouraged at the time… I look back and I’m thankful for that because we were able to build commu-nity and friendships with the Haitians and work hand in hand with them.”

Today, Madeja said, that school teaches English to more than 800 students.

“To me that was my first time just seeing poverty in real time and in person,” Madeja said. “I think it’s a lot different when you read about poverty or see it on TV — it’s a different story.”

Apperson and Madeja returned home af-ter the trip and were able to stay connected to their new friends in Haiti through social media.

“The organization really recognizes cultivating relationships in communities,” Madeja said.

Through staying in touch, both she and

Apperson were able to keep abreast of the school and students’ needs.

The pair graduated from SPU in 2013 and decided that they wanted to go back to Haiti.

“We both stuck together and brain-stormed how we could help,” Apperson said. “We just wanted to see the end prod-uct even if it takes 10 years.”

That second trip happened in February, with Apperson and Madeja going to Haiti with the founders of Foundation for Peace. The goal of the trip was to visit different villages and assess the needs of the people in those villages. The school has so many students these days that a second story is being added on to the building. Seeing that specific need, the friends knew that they wanted to do more.

“We actually visited the school when classes were in session so we were able to go and speak to the students,” Madeja said of the second trip. “That entire experience to me was amazing, to see so many stu-dents there to learn English. Students travel from all over.”

With a third trip on the calendar for later this year, Apperson and Madeja decided that they wanted to raise funds to help with the completion of the second story.

To that end, the girls decided to work together with Calvary Baptist Church in

the Renton Highlands to host a yard sale on Aug. 30 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. across the street from the church, with the proceeds from the sale going toward the school project.

“When you are really passionate about it (a cause) and you want to see God’s work

glorified, and people come alongside for it, that’s the best thing,” Madeja said. “It’s go-ing to people who really need it and to me that matters the most. I know not everyone believes in God, but even just as human be-ings, (our job) is to love our neighbors and do it out of love.”

SOUP LADIES AND VINE MAPLE PLACE RECEIVE AWARDSThe Soup Ladies and Vine Maple Place were both named as recipients in the 2014 BECU Community Benefit Awards.Both charities received $5,000. Vine Maple Place also won the People’s Choice Award, receiving the most popular votes during a voting period on BECU’s Facebook page.Over 500 nominations were received for nonprofits doing great work in our local communities representing a wide array of different causes.

COVINGTON ROAD PROJECTS IN THE WORKSThe city of Covington is working on multiple road projects in the city.On Aug. 15, the city advertised for bids for the 156th Avenue Southeast rehabilitation project. This contract provides for the rehabilitation and resurfacing of the road from Southeast 272nd to Southeast 261st. The total project length is approximately 3,900 lineal feet. The improvements include, but are not specifically limited to,

pulverization, grading, asphalt paving, channelization, traffic control, and other miscellaneous items. Bids are due on Sept. 8.The city also announced that the 204th Avenue Southeast project is completed per the requirements of the Hearing Examiner’s decision for the Maple Hills subdivision. Staff is working with the developer on the next steps to begin infrastructure improvements on the project site. The city said that the final lift of asphalt was completed at Meridian Pointe.

HOW TO KEEP YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM HEALTHY

Nobody is happy to experience that tell-tale achy feeling of a flu or virus coming on. Aside from missing work or school, it is just no fun to toss and turn with a stuffy nose or suffer through aches and pains. You can help ward off illness by taking a few simple steps to keep the immune system, the body’s defense against foreign invaders, healthy. Get lots of good nutrients from fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Exercise for a half an hour most days of the week. Wash hands, avoid alcohol, and don’t smoke. Try to keep weight healthy, and get plenty of sleep at night. Keep up with vaccinations, and remember to get your annual flu shot. And, because stress can be an immune killer, try to keep it to a minimum.

Many products on store shelves claim to boost or support immunity. But the concept of boosting immunity actually makes little sense scientifically. In fact, boosting the number of cells in your body — immune cells or others — is not necessarily a wise thing to do.

Everyone 6 months of age and older should get a flu vaccine. It is especially important to get the vaccine if you, someone you live with, or someone you care for is at high risk of complications from the flu.

Please call Southlake Clinic at (253) 395-1972 to schedule a consultation, or visit our clinic at 27005 168th Place SE in Covington. We are open on Saturdays.

* You must be 12 years of age or older and have a parent/guardian signature.

recently finished his second round of experimental che-motherapy. The cancer currently sits in his eye sockets, cheek bones and skull, plus all of his joints. Once, and if, he goes into remission, doctors can look at a bone marrow transplant. Koch suffers from nausea and digestive issues. The chemotherapy sometimes also causes bouts of depres-sion. Koch, called the “Cancer Ninja,” is so used to doctors and medical lingo that when someone says the word blood pressure, he knows to put out his arm for a reading.

“It’s a shame he understands what it is,” said Mitchell Neary, who is engaged to Koch’s mother, Jenna Rossi. “A 3 year old shouldn’t know that.”

The 34 little chiefs were the largest showing for the leg-islature-approved program, which is funded by donations from local tribes, organizations/companies/businesses, community members and fundraisers. The Black Diamond Police Department has reached out to a chronically ill child

from the city two other times since 2010.“We didn’t know if (Koch) would make the event,” said

Cmdr. Greg Goral with the Black Diamond Police Depart-ment. “(The cancer) came back pretty hard.”

Koch’s day started at the Showare Center, where he couldn’t take his eyes off the thundering motorcycles. He then rode in a motorcade to the Washington State Crimi-nal Justice Training Center in Burien. When he walked through the front doors, the state police called for a salute, standing their position on both sides until the 3 year old passed into the building.

Neary didn’t expect such an organized and ceremo-nial event and was pleased to see Koch happily hobbling around, laughing and playing.

“It’s good to see him enjoying this,” Neary said.The Black Diamond Police Department raised more than

$3,000 in cash for the family, plus community gift certifi-cates. Howie and his brother received a Nintendo Wii and

motorized police chargers. Just prior to the badge ceremony, Rossi told The Re-

porter she was in a “euphoric state,” in awe of how the com-munity and law enforcement embraced her son.

“This has been one of the most powerful moments of my life,” Rossi said. “I can’t explain it – the most incredible feeling ever… I feel blessed to be apart of it.”

Koch spent much of the ceremony laying on Black Dia-mond Police Chief Jamey Kiblinger, who has known Rossi for almost 18 years. Although Koch and Kiblinger had only seen each other off and on for a couple months, Rossi said Koch has always felt comfortable around Kiblinger. It’s as if he can sense that these two adults have known each other a long time, Rossi said.

“That’s why I start crying,” Rossi said. “To see life line up like that. It’s a beautiful thing.”

To Kiblinger, the Chief for the Day event is one of a kind.“There’s honestly nothing better,” Kiblinger said.

Howie Koch, 3, enjoys the sights, sounds and candy from the Chief for a Day ceremony in Burien, along with 33 other children with chronic or terminal illnesses, on Aug. 21. Koch was also quick to snuggle with Black Diamond Police Chief Jamey Kiblinger (right) whenever he could. The Black Diamond youngster was diagnosed with stage four neuroblastoma last December and is undergoing his second round of experimental chemotherapy treatment. ERIC MANDEL, The Reporter

Successful high school football seasons are defined by postseason advance-ment. But playoffs are never a gimme in the SPSL 4A, even if Kentwood has made it look that way in recent years – winning three of the last four division titles, including the last two.

Conquerors head coach Rex Norris said the reshuf-fled league, with changes to the divisional scope and schedule, will mean more teams will be in contention for the postseason deeper into the year.

“The season is going to play out a lot differently than it has in the past,” Nor-ris said. “In the past, the first games were such a big piece to the rest of the sea-son. This year we are start-ing out with non-league games, which are tough. They will certainly cause a lot of different situations than in the past. Our league doesn’t really start until like game four. That is going to play a big role. It will alter the way teams approach the games.”

With the addition of Decatur and subtraction of Auburn and Auburn Riverside from the SPSL, Tahoma, Kentwood and Kentlake are apart of the Northeast division, joining Kent-Meridian and Ken-

tridge. The standings will be based solely on division play. Each of the five teams in the split North divisions will stay within their re-spective divisions for weeks four through eight, which are, ostensibly, the only games that matter towards the postseason. The North schools will be seeded for week nine based on their standings, with a crossover between the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds. The No. 3 seeds from the Northeast and Northwest will match up head-to-head in a loser-out game. The top five teams advance to the playoffs.

Although the tension of the first few games in the regular season may be gone, don’t expect SPSL coaches to rest any starters.

“The only time we consider resting players is if they are injured,” Norris said. “…You want to win football games, you want to build momentum you want your team to have confi-dence going into the next week.”KENTWOOD

After winning eight straight Claude French trophies, Norris expects his team to again fight for the top of the division in 2014.

“Every Kentwood team has the tradition of compet-ing,” said Norris, who has a career record of 78-28 in his 10 years as head

coach. “This team has a lot of questions it needs to answer.”

2013 record: 7-3, losing to Eastlake in the Class 4A round of 32.

First game: Curtis on Sept. 5.

Returning starters: 10.Goals: “Play as a team,”

Norris said.Biggest game: “All of

our league games are going to be big games this year,” Norris said. “Especially be-

ing with our closest rivals. We have a tough non-league schedule as well, so I would have to say that our first game of the year will be a very important game for us.”

Key contributors:• Josiah Bronson (Sr, TE/

DE) — SPSL 4A Honorable mention.

• Brian Campbell (Jr, QB) — Returning starter who broke three school records in 2013.

• Kyle Capperauld (Sr, DL) — First-team all-league nose tackle who led the team in all defensive stats in 2013.

Newcomers:• Jared Goldwire (Jr, OL/

DL) — At 6 foot 8 inches tall and nearly 300 pounds, he “brings a presence and athleticism to the offensive and defensive lines,” Norris said.

pass in the opening exhibition game against Denver.

Head coach Pete Carroll still praised the undrafted free agent

following the game. Bronson can sign with any of the 32 NFL

teams and is still eligible for the Seahawks practice squad.

Each team can sign up to 10 players onto its practice squad

beginning Aug. 31.

guilty to the lesser murder charge and testify against Fastrup, according to Senior Deputy Prosecu-tor Kristin Richardson. In exchange, the state agreed to drop an arson charge.

“We amended the charge on Fastrup up to Murder 1 for trial once we had the full view of what hap-pened,” Richardson said in an email.

According to the charges, the murder occurred May 4 at Backstrom’s home on the East Hill, after an argument between Fastrup and Grigsby.bHer body was found two days later,

shortly after 4 a.m., when Mountain View Fire and Rescue responded to a re-port of a car fire in the area of Southeast 328th Street and Southeast Auburn-Black Diamond Road. The fire department found Grigsby’s Toyota Camry fully engulfed in flames, with her body, burned beyond recognition, in the trunk. Grisby was eventu-ally identified through her dental records.

The couple was arrested May 11 in North Bend after a high-speed car pursuit. Investigators said they had been camping out in the woods near I-90 after the killing and car fire.

Following their arrest, Backstrom confessed to detectives that she had par-ticipated in the murder and arson, saying an argument among the three turned physical, moving from the kitchen to the garage. There, Backstrom claimed in the charging documents, Fastrup struck Grigsby in the head with a flashlight while Backstrom also punched. She stated that Fastrup strangled Grigsby with a braided metal cable, and when the cable became too slick with blood, Back-strom strangled Grigsby with a key lanyard, while Fastrup continued to strike the victim in the head.

The King County Medi-cal Examiner’s Office de-termined that Grigsby died from blunt force trauma to the head.

According to the charg-ing documents, Fastrup denied participating in the murder, but confessed to burning the car. He claimed he did it at the request of Backstrom and did not know Grigsby was dead, or that her body was in the trunk, until they actually arrived at the scene and he opened the trunk. He said he burned the car anyway to assist Backstrom.

All three individuals were believed to be abusing methamphetamine and Fas-

trup and Backstrom both had lengthy criminal histo-ries, Richardson said. Back-strom had been released from prison two years prior to this incident following a vehicular homicide convic-tion. Fastrup had previous convictions for attempting to elude, assault and drug and firearms violations.

“This was a brutal, harrowing murder with a hideous aftermath,” Rich-ardson said in an email. “The convictions of these defendants will not bring back Denise Grigsby, but they delivered justice, and the community is safer as a result.”

Richardson said Grigsby’s

list of charges, plus a “huge criminal history” increased the standard sentencing range he faced, and, in the state’s opinion, justified the sentence, which was at the top of the standard range. She said Backstrom had a leaner criminal history and was a longtime domestic violence victim of Fastrup.

“We believe he instigated this murder and plotted the arson,” Richardson said. “The sentences were completely appropri-ate given their respective criminal histories and levels of involvement, and Ms. Backstrom‚Äôs agreement to testify as a State‚Äôs witness.”

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.
