Covington has managed to accumulate $1.5 million in funding for its community park project, according to Scott Thomas.

In early April it was unclear whether Covington would receive critical funding from the state, which had yet to finalize its budget.

“There was (definitely) some uncertainty about it,” Thomas COVINGTON said.

The state legislature ultimately approved a $50 million appropriation to the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program, $500,000 of which will go toward the Covington Community Park’s $1.8 million budget. The City Council is expected to authorize City Manager Derek Matheson to sign the grant agreement in two weeks.

Aside from the state, the city has also been awarded funding from other sources: A $700,000 grant from the Washington State Department of Commerce,

The Maple Valley Planning Commission is currently looking at the possibility of changing the city code to allow Fred Meyer to build a fueling station.

In a letter written in December 2010 to City Manager David Johnston, Peter Powell, president of the Bellevue-based Powell Development, the company building the new Fred Meyer at Four CorMAPLE ners, requested VALLEY a change in the city code to allow them to build a fueling station, which they are currently prohibited from doing.

The Safeway, also located at Four Corners, has a fueling station, which Fred Meyer believes makes it necessary for them to have one as well. Safeway’s station was approved by King County before the city was incorporated in 1997.

“To be competitive, Fred Meyer feels that having a fuel center is an absolute imperative,” wrote Powell.

MOMentum helps moms exercise and stay healthy

P

aige Green Dunn is passionate about helping moms.

Dunn, who lives near Maple Valley with her husband Reagan and 2-year-old son Hayden, has been working on projects to create community for mothers such as her Mom Around Town website and her latest, MOMentum.

After Hayden was born in August 2009, Dunn said, she was having a hard time getting to the gym to work out so she finally hired a personal trainer, Kelly Singer, to come to her.

“We just started talking about how it is so difficult for moms to find time to go work out,” Dunn said. “It would

[ more STATION page 5]

be so nice if there was something in the parks where moms could get in a work out while they were watching their kids. We also wanted to do something to make a difference in our community.”

Singer explained she has always had a passion for helping women get fit.

“A lot of women feel intimidated going to the gym or don’t really know where to start or how to get plugged into a support group,” she said. “Paige was actually a client of mine. We became really great friends and she was passionate about the same thing, about helping moms be healthy.”

Through brain storming Dunn and Singer came up with the idea to put equipment into 10 Puget Sound area parks that would allow women to work out while their children are playing.

Singer, who is expecting her first child in November, is also a fitness expert for Glamour and Seattle magazines.

“She was able to figure out what exercise options would be ideal for moms,” Dunn said. “So often machines are designed for guys.” [ more MOMENTUM page 9]

Teens and Technology

A NEW VIRTUAL REALITY

M

uch like the playground bully that generation after generation of children have endured, young people today endure cyberbullying in silence, not knowing how to deal with it or what to do when they see someone else victimized.

Kids and parents alike need to understand how to use cell phones, instant messaging, social media sites and other technology tools as well as understand the power of words on a screen.

There are many things adults and teens can do to prevent online bullying. There are also appropriate ways to deal with cyberbullying when it happens.

Young people also need to understand the impact of what they post, how to interact with each other as well as the adults they’re friends with or follow.

It’s a new reality in cyberspace.

MORE THAN WORDS ON A SCREEN Kentwood High senior Madison Belmondo is not one to stand by and watch online drama.

Belmondo has seen her friends on Facebook post things about other people that she thought was out of line.

She’s seen other people post comments that were wrong. “A friend of mine posted something about another one of my friends that was extremely rude,� Belmondo said. “It was just over the top. I didn’t say anything.

But, I was appalled.�

In her time on Facebook she’s seen a number of things she wanted to report but didn’t.

Still, there have been times where it was intolerable. “It’s really hard because you’re scared people are going to find out it’s you, but, on Facebook there’s a link you can

Diane Fox, assistant principal at Tahoma High, has plenty of advice for her students when it comes to Facebook.

She urges them to avoid using obscenities on Facebook and with her own kids they must be friends with her on the social media site because it’s “nonnegotiable.� “I have cautioned students to put your Facebook under complete lockdown, hide your friends list and allow your parents to be your friend,� Fox said. “Kids don’t like that which means you have something to hide. That’s an important rule so when you have inappropriate activity you can go, ‘Hey my mom is my friend.’ It kind of establishes a boundary.�

Fox also encourages teens to “defriend, defriend, defriend.� “If someone is mean to you, they shouldn’t have the privilege of seeing your life in cyberspace,� she said. “And most important, if you see it, say it, call it out, report. If it feels ugly it is. If it seems mean, it is.�

In addition, the Tahoma School District worked throughout the last school year to develop policies and procedures on how to report as well as investigate cyberbullying incidents. “Tahoma School District takes very seriously any kind of bullying incidents in our schools and we’re supportive of students coming to school equipped to learn,� Fox said. “Dealing with cyberbullying is another thing we have to do.�

Future employers, college admissions officers and other influential decision makers do view Facebook profiles and Twitter accounts, Bennett stated. “Kids should know that future employers and college admission folks do look at your MySpace or Facebook page,� she wrote. “If a youth is posting pictures of himself underage with a bunch of beer cans, illegal drugs, partying – they will probably not be the first to be hired.�

Instead, use social media as the ultimate public relations profile, to create a brand for yourself and develop a positive image.

Bennett suggests posting photos of yourself doing good things and involved in activities.

Heidi Maurer, principal at Cedar Heights Middle School in Covington, is bringing in an anti-bullying expert to her school, Stu Cabe, on Sept. 12.

In her second year at the middle school, Maurer is working to change the culture there among students, and something that is crucial from the first day of class to deal with bullying both online and in real life.

During the first month of school, Maurer said, Cedar Heights won’t be on its usual schedule. One day a week students will be immersed in lessons about the school’s core values while the rest of the week there will be discussion about technology. “We’re going to do technology lessons so we can develop a common founda-

XXX DPWJOHUPOSFQPSUFS DPN t XXX NBQMFWBMMFZSFQPSUFS DPN tion about technology and we’re going to go over what’s appropriate and what’s not appropriate,� she said. “We’re going to teach them basic skills that we assume they already know.�

An important lesson, Maurer said, is for her students to learn to think before they send an email, a message on Facebook or a text.

Even with the problems that have come from the ability to communicate electronically, it’s not all bad, Maurer said. “In that increased communication there’s an upside,� she said. “Students feel like they can share things they otherwise wouldn’t share.�

Kush, of wiredsafety.org, said the most effective program his organization has come across is its Teen Angels group. “It’s a peer to peer type of thing where teenagers... they set up chapters much like you would any school based group,�

Kush said. “They have what we call den mothers, adult leaders, and they work to impart this information in their schools.

We’ve found for the most part kids are more receptive if they have one of their own giving them this information than if we have school assembly and some gray hair like me gets up and harangues them about how stupid they can be online.�

He encourages kids to remember the Golden Rule. “Don’t post something online about somebody that you wouldn’t want to have posted about yourself,� Kush said. “If you’re mad at somebody think about it for a day before you post.... think before you post anything.�

He also urges parents to limit their kids use of technology, which while he knows it may not be popular, it is the best way because just monitoring a child’s Face-

book profile and Twitter account is only scratching the surface of their virtual lives.

Jason Krafsky said there is some basic etiquette parents and kids should be aware of when interacting with one another. “Parents and kids should have common respect for one another on Facebook,� he wrote. “Don’t embarrass one another, don’t comment often on each others posts, and don’t deal with family issues on Facebook. For kids and non-related adults – we think more responsibility falls on the adult to determine if a Facebook friendship is appropriate.�

Kelli Krafsky, for example, will only accept friend requests from the friends of their teenage children but she doesn’t seek them out. Meanwhile Jason Krafsky is not friends with his kids’ friends on Facebook, explaining, “It’s a personal and professional choice.�

And most importantly, don’t forget the potential impact of what is posted online, Jason Krafsky said. “If a student is living by the old adage, ‘What happens on Facebook, stays on Facebook,’ they are fooling themselves,� he wrote. “Employers, colleges, military and parents of future love interests are all checking your Facebook profile. We have heard about teens getting kicked off sports teams, school clubs and student leadership because of what they posted on Facebook. We talked with someone from a summer camp who told us about a high school girl who wanted to be a camp counselor. Her resume was impressive.

Her references checked out. Her interview went well. Her Facebook however, showed a very different person. They couldn’t take the risk of which girl would show up at the camp. They didn’t hire her.�

C YBER SAFETY TIPS And with all that, young people should avoid other kinds of danger lurking in cyberspace. “Do not friend people you don’t really know,� Kelli Krafsky wrote. “Even if you ‘met them’ online or through a game on Facebook, don’t open the door for them to know more about you. Do not post personal information like home address, phone number or full birthday (including year) on your Facebook profile. If someone needs it, they can message you. This is an added measure of security to avoid cyber crimes and real crimes.�

Bennett has similar suggestions. “Don’t talk to a person online you don’t know in real life,� Bennett wrote. “Never ever agree to meet with someone you meet online that you don’t know. Don’t become the cyber-bully by bullying back when someone bullies you. Never send inappropriate pictures of yourself to anyone, you lose control of the image the moment you do.�

QFC SUPPORTS THE LEUKEMIA & LYMPHOMA SOCIETY

BY Eric Miller QFC PUBLIC AFFAIRS SPECIALIST

QFC’s Check Stand Charity of the Month Program raises funds for local non-profit organizations and also is designed to help educate our customers and the community about the great work that is being done right here in Western Washington. This summer, our customers have really shown their support – by raising almost $15,000 for the Boys and Girls Clubs in June, over $24,000 for the USO in July and by making significant donations to Seattle Children’s Hospital in August. Beginning September 4th, QFC is partnering with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) as our Check Stand Charity of the Month.

LLS is the world’s largest voluntary health agency dedicated to blood cancer. It funds lifesaving blood cancer research around the world and provides free information and support services.

With Light the Night Walks coming up in Anchorage, Seattle and South Sound, this is the perfect opportunity

to provide more information about the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and how you can help donate to their mission when you visit your neighborhood QFC. Blood cancers are diseases of the blood, bone marrow, and/or lymphatic systems. They include leukemia, nonHodgkin lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma. Leukemia is the most common cancer among children and young adults under 20. In fact, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society was founded in New York City in 1949 by Rudolph and Antoinette de Villiers after the death of their son Robert from leukemia. Today, with the help of major fundraising campaigns, including Team in Training, the world’s largest endurance sports training program, and Light the Night Walk, LLS has awarded more than $750 million in research funding since the first funding in 1954.

Effective Date: September 4, 2011 - October 1, 2011

This September, QFC will offer several ways you can help support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society: t

We have $1, $5, and $10 Scan cards at each check stand. Simply hand a card to your Checker.

t

We have coin boxes at each check stand.

t

We offer a 3-cent credit to customers for every bag they bring in to reuse while shopping in our stores. Customers may choose to keep this 3 cent credit and have it applied to their bill, or they

may designate it for donation by QFC on their behalf. In 2010, we raised and donated over $45,000 through this program, 3 cents at a time!

QFC is proud to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and we hope that you will join us in that support this September! Thank you!

Eric Miller is the Public Affairs Specialist for QFC. He can be reached at eric.miller@qfci.com or 425-990-6182.

Paid Adver tisement

XXX DPWJOHUPOSFQPSUFS DPN t XXX NBQMFWBMMFZSFQPSUFS DPN [ STATION from page 1] According to Ty Peterson, Maple Valley’s community development director, Fred Meyer is unable to build it due to restrictive allowance on retail fueling stations in community business zoning.

The issue has been sent to the planning commission, which is currently in the process of examining it. If a decision is reached, it will be referred to the City Council, which will then have the opportunity to vote on it.

The change to the city code, according to Powell, would be very minor. “We believe the code change could be very specific and not much of a change at all,� he said.

The Fred Meyer fueling station would have an electric charging station and would be located in the interior parking area of the Town Square.

Several gas stations owners in Maple Valley, however, believe a Fred Meyer fueling station would devastate their businesses. “It will affect every station in this valley,� said Eric VanRuff.

VanRuff has owned the Chevron gas station and Wilderness Auto Service since 2005, located next to the Maple Valley Highway near

Southeast 237th Street. Operating since 1975, VanRuff stated when the Safeway opened their fueling station, half of the station’s business was lost and employees were laid off. In this economy, he explained, it is essential for him to keep every customer he can.

While gas sales are important, he said, it also helps advertise the small store and auto service shop. “If you lose anyone of those things, you lose everything,� VanRuff said. “These box stores aren’t in the gas business. They’re making their money inside of the store.�

This attitude is shared by several other gas station owners in Maple Valley. David Hall, who owns the Shell station on state Route 169, voiced his dismay at the Planning Commission’s Aug. 3 meeting. Like VanRuff, Hall’s business was negatively impacted when the Safeway opened its fueling station. Not only did he have to lay off employees, but he was no longer able to donate fuel to the Maple Valley Food Bank. “It is important to note that building more gas stations does not create more cars,� Hall said, according to the Aug. 3 meeting minutes. “The same amount of fuel is going to be sold within the community, and tax revenues are not going to change either way. Over half a dozen small

family-owned businesses are going to be threatened.�

Another gas station owner, Ghirmai Abraha, who owns the 76 gas station and Circle K store across from Safeway, spoke at the Aug. 3 meeting. Having spent money renovating the store, he said he does not believe his business will survive if Fred Meyer opens a gas station. “It’s going to kill him,� VanRuff said.

Yet, Powell argued tax revenue from gas sales would in fact increase, because the Fred Meyer would keep people in Maple Valley who otherwise go to shop in Covington or Kent and use the gas stations in those cities. “If you do whatever you can do to keep the customers here, it is going to help them (the city) in the long run,� he said.

The fueling station, he argued, is vital to drawing customers into the store. “They (Fred Meyer) want to offer all the services to the people,� he said. “A fuel center is a great way of having the customer come in.�

In addition, it’s good customer service, which will be needed in order to compete with Safeway. “It’s something the cutomer expects,� he said. “It seems it would also level the playing field. Why should

City Code FRED MEYER’S PROPOSED CITY CODE REVISION Retail fueling stations are allowed in the community business district only on a site permitted for one or more large commercial

Safeway have the advantage?�

While it is understandable for gas station owners to be concerned, Powell called it self-serving for them to expect the city to protect their businesses from fair competition. “It’s not the American way,� he said.

He also added Safeway has not tried to prevent them from opening up a gas station. “They (Safeway) never came to a public hearing saying, ‘we don’t want Fred Meyer,� Powell said.

In an effort to address some concerns, Powell explained the fueling station would be placed at the rear of the property and be at least 200 feet away from a major arterial, where it would not be visible from the Maple Valley Highway. “They’re willing to not have it on the street,� he said. “So basically you bury it.�

To the gas station owners, however, it is not much of a consolation.

“It doesn’t matter where it is,� VanRuff said.

VanRuff ’s wife, Kari, who runs the Chevron station with him, believes it will eventually put all of the locally owned gas stations out of business. “If the city wants to see boarded up gas stations, then do it,� she said. “It won’t happen right away, but eventually.�

Despite the tension, Powell stated Fred Meyer is not there to hurt local businesses. “They really do want to become good neighbors,� he said. “They’d like to be a part of the community.�

Understanding a sports writer

T

he life and times of the newspaper business has been a rocky road over the past few years both from the inside and outside.

As a newspaper guy it has been both fun and at times disconcerting.

This week I received the news that our sports reporter, Erick Walker, is leaving to become a teacher for the Kent School District.

As the editor of this newspaper, Erick leaving is a loss for us and a loss to sports reporting in this state.

He is the best sports writer I have ever worked with and I have worked with many.

However, this loss to the newspaper industry is a gain for the school district.

I spend a considerable amount of time squinting at financial numbers and trying to discern the twists and turns of the economy.

I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say it improves my mood or makes people more inclined to call me Mr. Sunshine, which always surprises me.

I may not be any better at figuring out the economic future than Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was in predicting the fall of Enron, but I am sure of one thing.

The road out of our mess runs through our education system.

ang violence seems to be everywhere today, even right here in our own suburban neighborhoods â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mobile, moving across city borders. So, how can south and east King County communities work together to deal with it?

High-profile incidents involving gang violence â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such as the shootings last month at a car show in Kent â&#x20AC;&#x201C; generate most of the headlines.

But the pervasive influence that gangs have on vulnerable youth can be just as dangerous as the gunfire.

Once lured in as teens or even pre-teens, gang members are more likely than other kids to drop out of school, become the victims of crimes or wind up in prison.

Here are just a few sobering facts: t "DDPSEJOH UP UIF '#* T /BUJPOBM (BOH Threat Assessment, gangs are responsible for up UP QFSDFOU PG BMM DSJNFT JO DPNNVOJUJFT BDSPTT the nation today. t $POTFSWBUJWF Ä&#x2022; HVSFT GSPN UIF ,JOH $PVOUZ

reading a seventh-grade math problem.

I always tell those type of writers to try throwing a couple of words between the numbers. It will do wonders for the read.

Some look for the latest tragedy of the week, and then there are the sleepers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he throws, he catches, he scores, see ya.

All of them work in their own way and at certain times.

The best are the ones who tell the story. It is the story that matters and the story that compels us to read.

The one thing that Erick always understood was the arc of the story and how to tell it.

Many great writers have written sports at one time during their careers.

Norman Mailer was at his height when he wrote â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Fightâ&#x20AC;? describing the title bout between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman in Zaire.

I recently found an early journalism piece by Richard Wright, best known for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Native Son.â&#x20AC;?

Wright was covering the 1938 Joe Louis rematch against Max Schmeling. Wright published his classic two years later, but the writer was there in 1938.

Sports writers and sports writing is a world of its own.

It has its own language, rhythm and it is not as easy as it sometimes looks.

It takes an understanding of the sport, numbers and human behavior.

Another trick is getting between the canned talk to find the story that is resting beneath. It takes some doing.

Erick understood story, sports and young athletes, which makes him a perfect fit for the schools.

I hate to lose him, but where he is going is a gain for this community and the schools.

These startling facts prompted the Center for Children & Youth Justice (CCYJ) to convene the Suburban King County Coordinating Council on Gangs.

The Council is comprised of high-level decision-makers from across south and east King County â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including mayors, police chiefs and school superintendents â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all committed to breaking down the systemic and procedural barriers that stand in the way of a coordinated approach to addressing gang issues.

Because CCYJ is dedicated to meaningful and lasting reforms of systems serving vulnerable children and youth, the goals for the council are multi-dimensional.

Yes, law enforcement must work together to prevent and combat criminal gang activity.

But we also must find better ways to intervene early and divert youth from becoming gang members.

And those gang-involved youth who com-

mit crimes must have access to a juvenile justice system that both protects society and holds youth accountable for their actions, while also addressing the unique issues that drive kids to join gangs in the first place.

Research shows that many gang members grow up in abusive, neglectful or anti-social households and lack supervision, positive role models or encouragement.

They also have higher rates of substance abuse and mental health issues than other teens. These are not excuses for bad behavior, but rather facts that must be addressed if our system of juvenile justice truly intends to rehabilitate, and not just punish.

Relying on other successful community-based anti-gang efforts along with evidence-based guidelines from the U.S. Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, the council will develop and implement a comprehensive and collaborative response to suburban gang activity.

Our vision is to create safe, gang-free communities, including youth who are safe, educated, connected to their families and schools, and prepared for lifelong success.

If we value our youth, our communities wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give up until we advance policies, systems and practices that will make this vision a reality.

Studley expressed her hope that the success of

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@maplevalleyreporter.com

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ave.â&#x20AC;? has been well received by the community, according to writer Ed Corrigan.

After the final performance wrapped up Friday at the Maple Valley Creative Arts Center, Corrigan estimated the play will recover the $1,000 in production costs, as well as generate an additional $1,200, which will be donated to the Maple Valley Creative Arts Council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ave.â&#x20AC;? starred Michael A. Destro as George, a wealthy Seattle resident, and Emily Grachek as Cecilia, a child prodigy who drops out of the University of Washington and lives as a homeless person on University Avenue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone great,â&#x20AC;? Corrigan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was more than our â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the audienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x201C; expectations. We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure what to expect.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ave.â&#x20AC;? was directed

by Melanie Studley, her first directorial work outside of school at Evergreen State College, although she had worked for five years at the Village Theater in Issaquah. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was exciting,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I was nervous, because I was a lot younger than the actors.â&#x20AC;?

Aside from older individuals in the cast, Studley, as well as Corrigan, had to contend with numerous difficulties in getting the play ready for its premiere. First, they had to work together on achieving the right feel for the play which Corrigan intended. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It took a lot of work,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but we had to do it.

We talked extensively over how we wanted it to feel.

There was a lot of give and take.â&#x20AC;?

Michael Destro and Emily Grachek play a scene from â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ave.â&#x20AC;? at the Maple Valley Creative Arts Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stage in the The Leaf. COURTESY PHOTO

Although some aspects, such as the dialogue, were updated, Studley preserved the ambiance Corrigan had desired. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a lot more poetic than most plays, as opposed to straight theater,â&#x20AC;? she said.

One predicament they faced was the loss of cast members a mere two weeks before the play was scheduled to start. Various high school students had been cast, but were forced to drop out. This necessitated Corrigan to complete script revisions to remove their characters, as no replacements could be found. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I worked until four in the morning on it,â&#x20AC;? said Corrigan.

Another problem was the backstage, of which there was hardly any, nor was there a dressing room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It changes the feel of the show a lot,â&#x20AC;? said Studley.

Fortunately, other parts of the production went well.

Though there were trained actors and actresses in the cast, many of them were volunteers who had limited or no background in acting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was really impressed by the new actors,â&#x20AC;? said Studley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their ability when they first read the script was not-so confident, and at the

show you would have never known.â&#x20AC;?

Studley also had the opportunity to act in the play as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;mean girl,â&#x20AC;? a role she said was not difficult to play.

One area they did not have a problem with was volunteers, who provided much of the materials for the production and helped with preparations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were more surprised by the number of people who wanted to help,â&#x20AC;? said Studley.

When the play finally was performed, Corrigan said he was amazed at Studleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was so engrossed,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just starts out as words and in my head. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like I had a still born and Melanie breathed life into it.â&#x20AC;?

After the show, there was a question and answer segment between the audience and Corrigan. According to Corrigan, they were mostly interested with what ultimately befalls Cecilia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They want to know what happened to Cecilia,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They drew their own conclusions, which is great.â&#x20AC;?

As the first play put on in Maple Valley written by a resident, Corrigan hoped

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ave.â&#x20AC;? will help draw people to Maple Valley who would otherwise go to Issaquahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Village Theatre.

The Maple Valley Creative Arts Center, Corrigan explained is something the community should take advantage of. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They give us a tremendous opportunity,â&#x20AC;? he said.

$155,000 from the King County Parksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; levy, a $100,000 grant from the King Conservation District and a $75,000 grant from the King County Youthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facilities.

The King County Parks levy and the King Conservation District grant were noncompetitive.

Thomas stated Covingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s need, as well as their preparation, enabled them to secure the competitive grant funding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our case, there is no full size soccer field, and no place to hold a community event or festival,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So our need was really high. And, we had done quite a bit of design work already before we went into the competition, so we could show it was a well designed facility to suit our particular need. Because we were so far in the design process we had a good cost estimate.â&#x20AC;?

According to Thomas, the city will have to create a project agreement to utilize the funds, which will be available to them this winter when they are expected to begin the bidding process for construction.

At present, they are working on environmental permits, which they plan to have by the end of the year.

If all goes well, Thomas stated, park construction should begin by next summer and a ribbon cutting ceremony in the early fall.

The sports field, however, will not be available for use until summer 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need the grass roots to be established before we play on it,â&#x20AC;? said Thomas.

The Kent Youth Soccer Association has committed to providing up to $12,000 for equipment necessary for the soccer field.

The 33 acre park site was purchased by the city in 2003, brought into King Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urban growth boundary in 2004 and then annexed into the city in

The Falcons (1-0-0) are now 8-1-2 all-time in season openers, including 10-0-1 on their home pitch at Interbay Stadium.

The goal by senior midfielder Jenkins was the finishing touch on a free kick taken by junior defender Andrea Chan, who earlier had scored the tying goal for the Falcons.

Pernell, Kentlake deliver big Senior star enjoys big opening night, lifts Falcons past Auburn Riverside, 49-7

BY ERICK WALKER ewalker@kentreporter.com

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to be Austin Pernell these days.

Kentlake Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three-sport standout has often been tabbed the last two years by football coach Chris Paulson as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the best athlete walking the school halls.â&#x20AC;? In addition, Pernell is equally liked by his classmates and teammates due to his quiet, humble personality.

Pernell showed what all the excitement was about Thursday night (Sept. 1) at French Field. The mild-mannered senior intercepted two passes, chipped in a fumble recovery, ran for one touchdown and caught another, leading Kentlake past Auburn Riverside 49-7 in the South Puget Sound League North Division season opener for both teams.

Ending the performance with an exclamation point, Pernell was swarmed by teammates and classmates moments after the final buzzer sounded as the Falcons sang their theme song to the home crowd. Topping it off, the versatile wide receiver/ defensive back even received a kiss on the cheek from an excited classmate following the win.

No doubt, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to be Pernell.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We showed what we could do. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a statement (game). Well, maybe it was.â&#x20AC;?

AUSTIN PERNELL

Yet, after the game, Kentlakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s star was humble as always. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just shows we came prepared,â&#x20AC;? said Pernell, who had three receptions for 32 yards, but who also had a 52-yard touchdown reception negated by a penalty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We showed what we could do. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a statement (game). Well, maybe it was.â&#x20AC;?

Kentlake has been tabbed among many as the favorite to win the North Division this fall, something the Falcons have not done since 2003.

Thursday night at French Field, the Falcons were in fine form, much in part due to Pernellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big-play ability. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He makes plays on both sides of the ball, offense, defense, special teams,â&#x20AC;? Paulson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every time he touches the ball, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a threat to score.â&#x20AC;?

Of course, the Falcons (1-0, 1-0) also took advantage of several Auburn Riverside (0-1, 0-1) miscues.

The Ravens turned the ball over six times, which resulted in 28 Kentlake points. Both of Pernellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intercep-

tions and his fumble recovery led to touchdowns. Yet, at no point after the game did Pernell reference his own performance, instead continually referring to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;weâ&#x20AC;? that is Kentlake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We came and we brought it,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Indeed the Falcons did.

Pernell opened the scoring by scooping up a bad pitch that onehopped into his arms for an 11-yard touchdown run around the left side with 7:56 remaining in the first quarter. Just seconds into the second quarter, Pernell came away with his first interception of the game. The big pick turned into a quick-six as Breton Medina outran the Auburn Riverside defense for a 66-yard touchdown run, and a 14-0 lead just two plays later.

Auburn Riverside responded when quarterback Josh Latta connected with Kameron Boardway on a short dump-off pass. Boardway skirted down the left sideline for a 43-yard touchdown after hauling in the 5-yard pass, cutting the deficit to 14-7.

However, that was all the Ravens could muster.

Kentlake proceeded to rip off 35 unanswered points, 21 more in the [ more KENTLAKE page 12]

The Kentwood High baseball program didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to look far in finding a new coach to replace Jon Aarstad, who stepped down in July.

Mark Zender, who teaches marketing and the DECA program at the school, was named last week as Aarstadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s replacement. Zender spent the last two years as the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s freshmen team baseball coach and assisted alongside Aarstad.

However, Zenderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experiMark Zender ence runs much deeper than the last two years. Zender was the head baseball coach at Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dea High School from 1987-1997, when he guided the Fighting Irish to three state berths in 11 years. The high point for Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dea under Zender came in 1987, when the Fighting Irish took third at the state tournament.

Taking over the program at Kentwood was not part of the original plan, Zender admitted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t something I came into Kentwood thinking about,â&#x20AC;? said Zender, who is in his third year at the school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done this before and I am qualified. I believe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long-term commitment to continue what has been done.â&#x20AC;?

Zender has some big shoes to fill.

Aarstad inherited a strong baseball program eight years ago, and helped transform it into one of the best in the state. In eight years, Aarstad, who teaches math, compiled a record of 134-60, a mark that includes a state title in 2010 and a third-place finish in 2006. In addition, the Conquerors have advanced to the state playoffs in seven of the last eight years, including this past season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My goal is to continue what Jon did,â&#x20AC;?

[12] September 9, 2011

Frank Lucarelli snatches top trainer lead The speedy Harbor Wind led all the way and scored a nine-length victory Monday over stable mate Eileen Is a Saint in the $20,000 Pepsi Purse for 2-year-olds at Emerald Downs.

With Pedro Terrero riding his third winner of the day, Harbor Wind ran six furlongs in 1 minute, 9.99 seconds on a fast track and paid $3.20, $2.20 and $2.10.

Frank Lucarelli is the trainer for Z Thoroughbred Racing Partners I. Lucarelli saddled four winners on the 10-race card and leapfrogged past

Howard Belvoir 49-47 atop the trainersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; standings.

Eileen Is a Saint, also trained by Lucarelli, finished second under Leslie Mawing and paid $4.20 and $2.20.

First-time starter Memphis Beach raced greenly but got rolling late to finish third and paid $2.40, while Cocoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Honor finished last.

Orlando Xpress, Ferociously and Cardinals Gold were all late scratches at the starting gate.

A Washington-bred by Harbor the Gold-Bon Jour Paris, Harbor Wind has won two straight, and is

2-0-2 in four starts lifetime with earnings of $22,745.

Sunday, he shook off Cocoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Honor into the turn, opened a five-length lead into the stretch and widened the gap through the lane.

Although he rode the second-place finisher in the feature, Mawing added four more wins Sunday and finished the week with 14 wins to tie Chelsea Zupanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s track record for most wins in a four-day week. Mawing rode three winners Thursday, two on Friday, five on Saturday and four on Sunday.

Mawing has ridden at least one winner on 15 straight cards, and at least two winners on the last seven programs. Since Aug. 12, the 37-year-old South African has won on 34-of-98 mounts to turn the jockeysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; race into a runaway.

With nine days left in the 82-day meet, Mawing now leads Juan Gutierrez by a 116-88 margin.

Lucarelli, meanwhile, has saddled 21 winners since Aug. 1 to overtake Belvoir atop the standings. The trainersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; race, however, fig-

ures to go down to the wire.

NOTES: In the third race, a $21,000 allowance for 3-year-old fillies, The Gang and I ($9.60) won by a neck over Risque Humor in 1:15.66 for 6-½ furlongs.

Kent Handicap winner Carrabelle Harbor finished third. And in the eighth, a $21,000 allowance for older fillies and mares.

And in the eighth, a $21,000 allowance for older fillies and mares, Vanessa R N ($20.40) remained unbeaten with a two-length triumph over Dream Sweeper in 1:35.91 for one

mile.

Thru 23 stakes races, the average field size is 7.8 horses and the average $2 win payoff $16.40. Next stakes action is Washington Cup IX on Sunday, Sept.

18, featuring six stakes for Washington-breds worth $215,000 in purses.

City to City, co-owned by Mark Dedomenico won the $150,000 Palomar Handicap (G2) for older fillies and mares on the turf at Del Mar. At Hastings Racecourse, Dashing Daisy ($5.90) won the $50,000 Delta Colleen Handicap.

[KENTLAKE from page 11]

quarterback Caleb Saulo found Trevor Baldwin at the end of the second quarter for a 50-yard touchdown strike, giving the Falcons a 35-7 lead at the half. After a scoreless third quarter, the Falcons returned to big-play mode

as Riley Higgins bolted up the gut for a 70-yard touchdown run that was followed by a 53-yard scoring run by Jordan Seffens.

Saulo, who was hit hard to end the first half and did not return, completed

5 of 10 passes for 117 yards and two touchdown passes. Saulo indicated that he cramped up to end the first half, which is why he did not return. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We came out and showed what we could do,â&#x20AC;?

Saulo said.

The big offensive performance overshadowed a strong defensive showing by the Falcons. Kentlake limited Auburn Riverside to 161 total yards in the game. Meanwhile, Kentlake racked up 456 total yards, 339 on the ground

and 117 in the air. Tanner Lucas, who carried the ball 12 times for 85 yards, was Kentlakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading rusher.

The night, however, belonged to Pernell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special,â&#x20AC;? Paulson said.

2006. In addition, the Conquerors have advanced to the state playoffs in seven of the last eight years, including this past season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My goal is to continue what Jon did,â&#x20AC;? Zender said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am excited about the kids we have.â&#x20AC;?

Zender will be inheriting a team that possesses considerable talent. Catcher Reese McGuire, a junior, was the South Puget Sound League North Division

MVP this past spring.

Meanwhile, McGuireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, Cash, also is one of the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top returners in addition to pitcher Taylor Jones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very, very good group of kids who are coming back,â&#x20AC;? Zender said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Given that, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a certain level of excitement and expectations there.â&#x20AC;?

In eight years under Aarstad, the Conquerors won one SPSL North title

(2010), finished second three times (2004, 2009, 2011) and had two thirdplace finishes (2006, 2007).

Aarstad stepped down in July, when a position at Auburn Riverside became available. Aarstad will be taking over for Chris Garrison at Auburn Riverside.

Garrison is the only coach the Auburn Riverside program has ever had.

Coincidentally, Aarstad and Garrison were South Puget

Sound League North Division co-Coaches of the Year this spring.

The decision to leave Kentwood wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an easy one, Aarstad admitted.

However, the short commute proved to be too much for the former Kentwood coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I live five minutes from there. My commute will be going from 70 minutes a day down to 10,â&#x20AC;? said Aarstad, who lives in Lake Tapps.

In addition to his high school baseball coaching experience, Zender also operates the Grand Slam Baseball Camp, which he founded in 1993 and serves

youth in the greater Puget Sound region. According to its web site (www.grandslamcamp.com), Grand Slam is â&#x20AC;&#x153;based upon sound educational principals (and) always spiced with our total love for the game.â&#x20AC;?

The camps are designed for children between the ages of 8 and 12.

With the season still several months away, Zenderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excitement level remains high. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am excited and looking forward to the challenge,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be some pressure, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like the cupboard is bare. We should be a good team.â&#x20AC;?

ATRIAL FIBRILLATION Atrial fibrillation is the medical term used to describe what happens when the heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s atria, or upper two chambers, beat irregularly. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always cause symptoms, but when it does, it feels a bit like a fluttery heart. Atrial fibrillation can also make a person feel short of breath and light-headed. Atrial fibrillation can come or go, seemingly without cause, or it can be a chronic problem. While a bout of the condition is not usually a lifethreatening situation, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extremely important to let your health care provider know about it. Atrial fibrillation can be brought on by many different things such as alcohol use, viral infections, as well as heart abnormalities and past heart surgeries. If you have atrial fibrillation and experience chest pain, call for emergency help since this could be a heart attack.

Ideally, to treat atrial fibrillation, the heart rate and rhythm are reset to normal after which anti-arrhythmic medications often are prescribed to help prevent future episodes of atrial fibrillation.

For some patients, a specific event or an underlying condition, such as a thyroid disorder, may trigger atrial fibrillation. If the condition that triggered your atrial fibrillation can be treated, you might not have any more heart rhythm problems.

Luring your roses into dormancy for winter

To make your lawn happy

To make your flowers happy

Fertilize your lawn in the fall. Be sure you use a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fall and winterâ&#x20AC;? lawn food and apply after the fall rains have soaked the soil. This usually means late September to early October.

Fall is the most important time to feed a lawn in western Washington because a slow-release lawn food applied now will be pushed down into the root zone by the winter rains. Then, when the weather warms in spring, the nitrogen will be available to the grass roots just as they wake from their winter slumber. A well-fed lawn can overpower spring weeds and shade out

Snip off faded blooms and pinch out leggy growth on bedding plants like petunias and marigolds.

Fertilize hanging baskets and container gardens of annual plants. We still have four to five weeks of mild weather ahead and deadheading, watering and feeding will keep many annuals blooming until the first hard frost.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cut back perennials like lilies, sedums, asters and daylilies just yet. The September sunshine helps perennial plants make and store food in their roots for the winter. They need green foliage to absorb

moss.

Rake autumn leaves from your lawn before they suffocate the grass. In our wet climate, big leaf maples can drop enough heavy, wet foliage to smother even a healthy lawn.

Jump into a giant leaf pile at least once every autumn. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll feel like a kid again.

rides that spin, go fast, upside down, or make quick jerks. That left dad.

When we got there, I sent my oldest to try out some of the water rides while I followed my youngest and her dad to the traditional rides.

I intended to get some Kodak moments for our family scrapbook.

The two rides my husband was willing to go on were pretty tame, although I refused them myself.

One of them was like riding a hang glider and went in circles. The other one was a massive wheel everyone sat on and the whole thing spun and rocked.

It was way too much spinning for me and apparently it was way too much spinning for my husband.

My daughter â&#x20AC;&#x153;brokeâ&#x20AC;? her father right out of the starting gate and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk him into another ride. So we headed for the water activities.

I figured a good cooling off would help put dad back together.

But by that point he was only good for parking in the shade and watching our stuff.

I was a bit broken myself after standing on the hot concrete in the sun and snapping pictures.

I only wanted to cool off and was not interested in sending myself shooting into a tube down a winding water ride.

So I took a dip in a pool near where my husband sat recovering, then joined him to wait for the kids to return.

We were both enjoying the fact that our kids are old enough to run around by themselves, when my youngest showed up and wanted to check out more of the traditional rides.

I agreed to go with both the girls and find the log ride. I figured it involved water, how bad could it be?

Finding the ride turned out to be the hard part. The map wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very clear to us and the whole theme park is on a hill.

All the traditional rides were uphill and since we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Gretchen Leigh

COMMENTARY

We had never been to Wild Waves theme park before last week.

The kids had been asking me to take them for years and I promised them I would take them before the end of the summer.

So with the end of summer breathing down my neck, I looked up the hours and prices.

I discovered you can get in for only $20 after 4 p.m. in the last three hours of operation.

After my husband came home from work one day I decided weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go try it out. My youngest daughter was really anxious to ride the traditional rides.

Unfortunately, my oldest daughter and I are not into

find the ride immediately, we were up and down the hill several times before we found the ride.

After the rather staid log ride, my youngest talked my oldest into riding the same rides she â&#x20AC;&#x153;brokeâ&#x20AC;? her dad on.

My oldest was able to ride them once without dire consequences, satisfying my youngestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s need to spin.

We went back to the water activities to check on dad. Although he had recovered, he felt it was too late to get wet.

I, on the other hand, was overheated after trekking across the theme park several times. I decided to go on a river ride with the girls to cool down.

We went three times. I was cooled off, but my neck and back muscles were beginning to stiffen up with the frantic paddling motion it took to get out of the whirl pools.

My husband and I were worn out by our â&#x20AC;&#x153;wildâ&#x20AC;? experience; the girls loved it.

I made the decision last week to take my daughters back to Wild Waves.

They both chose to take a friend who was at their stamina level and I had a coupon for up to six people, so everyone was happy.

While they rode, I sat in the shade and read a book.

We were there six hours and the kids were satisfactorily exhausted.

On the way home, we were telling their friends about our trip to Wild Waves the week before.

When we got to the part about how my youngest â&#x20AC;&#x153;brokeâ&#x20AC;? dad, she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dad used to be more durable.â&#x20AC;?

Police team works to solve and prevent crime The city of Maple Valley recently added two plain-clothes detectives to the police department as Problem Solving Emphasis Team detectives.

The purpose of this new team is to investigate drug and vice crimes, assist patrol officers and conduct investigations within the city focused on solving recurring problems.

Since starting this unit, the two detectives have made 18 felony arrests, two felony warrant arrests, 19 misdemeanor arrests and three misdemeanor warrant arrests. In conjunction with those arrests they have seized $2,284 in cash, three cars and recovered three guns.

During several drug investigations the team purchased or seized 71.6 grams of heroin â&#x20AC;&#x201C; $3,580 street value, 13.11 pounds of marijuana â&#x20AC;&#x201C; $67,123 street value, 831 marijuana plants â&#x20AC;&#x201C; $831, 000 value, Vicodin pills and served 10 search warrants. The total street value of the seized drugs

was about $873, 000.

The team has also initiated a number of Problem Solving Projects (PSPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s).

PSPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reports are generated using a community policing model aiming to stop crime by identifying and addressing the crime problem at its core.

Jointly with PSPs, team detectives also helped with city special events and community meetings.

After the Wilderness trail shooting in December 2010, one of teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first missions was increased patrols on the trail.

Detectives devoted hundreds of hours to walking the trail in uniform and in plain clothes.

This project culminated in a community meeting where detectives gave a presentation on drugs and the trail project.

After several burglaries, the team conducted surveillance on the Wilderness Village parking lot and started a commercial burglary PSP. During that operation, detectives observed

two suspects attempting to break in to the dry-cleaners and a nail salon.

The suspects, who were well-known repeat offenders, were caught in the act of burglarizing the nail salon and booked in the youth services center.

One of the suspects in question was also involved in the December 2010 shooting on the trail.

Detectives gave presentations on drug investigations and patrol tactics at the Maple Valley Citizens Academy. Detectives worked with the Tahoma School District and provided presentation about marijuana use among high school age teens.

Taste of Covington delayed to 2012

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@covingtonreporter.com

The Taste of Covington event has been postponed indefinitely by the Covington Chamber of Commerce.

Originally set for Aug. 20, the event failed to draw enough restaurant vendors to make it successful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re exploring that and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look at it again in the springtime,â&#x20AC;? said Cathy Wahlin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes a long time and we just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that time.â&#x20AC;?

According to Wahlin, the event was first rescheduled for Oct. 1, but was postponed after it was learned that it would coincide with an event by the Covington Domestic Violence Task Force.

Since the Taste of Covington plans to feature a beer garden, Wahlin felt like having an event with alcohol would have been untimely.

2seven2 Bar and Grill, which had initially planned to provide the beer garden, has since pulled out due to â&#x20AC;&#x153;changes in personnel structure,â&#x20AC;? according to Wahlin.

The Taste of Covington is also being planned by Rick Oliveira of the Covington Chamber of Commerce.
