Contentious beginning for development hearing Two Black Diamond council members recuse themselves and state they will not return

BY DENNIS BOX dbox@maplevalleyreporter.com

The opening acts of the closed-record hearing for the YarrowBay master planned developments featured one dramatic turn after another.

The Black Diamond City Council hearing convened Sept. 21 for the members

to consider the development agreements for The Villages and Lawson Hills and the recommendation for approval with conditions from Phil Olbrechts, the city’s hearing examiner.

The first hearing was continued to Monday and by the close of the session, four council members had recused themselves from the process, with two council members‚ Craig Goodwin and William Saas‚vowing to not return.

At the Sept. 21 hearing YarrowBay’s attorney Nancy Rogers submitted a letter and pages of supporting documents to the council and city attorney. The letter requested four of the five council members

recuse or voluntarily remove themselves from the quasi-judicial hearings.

The letter goes on to state the four can recuse themselves, “and in so doing, trigger the ‘doctrine of necessity.’ In this way, YarrowBay and community member against community member attacks can be avoided, the city’s fiscal interests will be protected, and the full five-member City Council can sit together with the community, to review The Villages and Lawson Hills Development Agreements.”

The letter noted Leih Mulvihil and Kristine Hanson, should recuse themselves because they own property near the projects.

The letter stated two other council mem-

bers, Saas and Goodwin, had ex-parte contact with opponents of the developments.

Ex-parte contact in this case refers to a council member, who is acting in a quasijudicial role, participating in discussions outside of the hearing with opponents of the developments.

At the Monday hearing Goodwin made a statement recusing himself prior to the members adjourning into an executive session.

Goodwin noted the YarrowBay documents, “points to a string of emails to Bob Edelman they claim represents inappropriate

Victoria Throm hopes to paint Covington purple in October.

Throm, the founder of the Covington Domestic Violence Task Force, is preparing for the fifth annual Purple Light Nights Campaign which goes well beyond the city limits.

It is part of the National Domestic Violence Awareness COVINGTON month with the color purple serving as a color used to associate education and awareness on the issue.

When Throm first started the campaign in 2007 the idea was to honor victims who had died as a result of domestic violence as well as to support survivors and give hope to those still living in domestic violence.

“Everything will go live at the second annual tree lighting kickoff on (Saturday),” Throm said.

“The tree will have 2,000 purple lights provided by the (city’s) parks and recreation department.

Running Lake Wilderness Golf Course will not cost the taxpayers of Maple Valley anywhere near the amount it did last year.

The golf course is estimated to require a total of $80,000 in subsidies from the city, a considerable decrease from last year, when it cost the city $228,000.

City Manager David Johnston MAPLE attributes the VALLEY sharp decline to two factors: the Lake Wilderness Golf Course Task Force and changes made by the contract manager.

“First of all, I think the work of the Golf Course Task Force last year showed it was the first time the city took a hard look at that operation,” Johnston said. “I think it really made more and more people in the community aware of the golf course, its operation and the market that we have to operate it in.”

The Lake Wilderness Golf Task Force was formed in June 2010 in order to review the operation

There will be a special meeting held jointly by the Maple Valley, Covington and Black Diamond Planning Commissions at 6:30 p.m.

Thursday, Oct. 6 at Covington City Hall.

Members of the public are invited to attend.

Covington City Hall is located at 16720 SE 271st Street, Suite 100.

ments, provide “a clear sense of the community’s willingness to provide new revenue for those priorities.� “The (public engagement process) will use a Budget Priorities Advisory Committee and other public-engagement tools to determine the public’s priorities for existing revenues and determine whether the public wants to maintain and/or enhance those priorities with new, voter-approved revenues,� Matheson wrote. “The City Council adopted a BPAC charter unanimously on Sept. 13. Staff will enlist the help of our advisory commissions and other civic organizations to identify potential BPAC members. Our goal is to make it possible for the Council to appoint the BPAC by the end of the year.�

In order to develop the public engagement process, the management team suggested involving residents by inviting them to join a steering committee, participate

in community meetings, focus groups and surveys as well as connect through social media such as the city’s Facebook page.

It is important, according to the city documents, to “let the community lead the process and produce results independent of Council and/or staff desires.�

This process, which will have its foundation in the council’s vision, mission and goals, will need to stay focused on the future.

Finance director Rob Hendrickson picked the brain of Shoreline’s finance director to understand how that city was able to implement a successful public engagement process.

At the Aug. 23 Covington City Council meeting Hendrickson presented a report that outlined a draft charter for the steering committee that would help develop the public engagement process.

This committee could have between 13 and 15 members with the majority

required to live within the city limits. It could include city advisory commission members but not council members or city staff.

It could also include members who are between 14 and 18 years old.

Nominations for the committee would come from council members, commission members, city staff, the Covington Chamber of Commerce, local service clubs and the community with the members ideally representing a wide variety of people and viewpoints.

Members of the committee would be appointed by the council based on staff recommendations.

Hendrickson would sever as the liaison between the committee and staff.

According to the draft charter, the committee would need to meet at least once a month, report regularly to the council and put together a final report no later than mid-2013.

Black Diamond Elementary embraces kindness

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@covingtonreporter.com

An act of kindness can go a long way.

At Black Diamond Elementary Principal Gerri Garton hopes to have acts of kindness go two miles by March 6 — in the form of a paper chain.

The Enumclaw School District is participating in Rachel’s Challenge Initiative, a program inspired by Rachel Scott, the first victim of the 1999 Columbine shooting.

In six journals, Scott wrote various entries expressing her desire to have

people engage in more kindness than she was seeing. “The focus is not on the tragic death, but it’s based on her belief that kindness and compassion can change the world,� Garton said. “Rachel believed in dreaming big, having big dreams.�

The idea was first thought of by the Mike Nelson, Enumclaw School District’s superintendent, according to Garton, when he was at a forum in Seattle last spring. “It was a wonderful thing to bring back to the students,� Garton said.

As a part of the initiative every classroom will have paper chains. Every time a

person performs an act of kindness, it is written down and the link is added to the school’s chain length.

Teachers, as well as students, participate.

The chain length started in the school hallway in August.

They hope for it to be two miles long when they hold Rachel’s Rally at the Enumclaw Field House, also known as Pete’s Pool. “It’s intentionally going out and using kind behavior and kind words,� Garton said.

Currently, the school is displaying a banner that reads “I accept Rachael’s

Challenge,� which everyone is able to sign.

The chain links will be pink which is Black Diamond Elementary’s school color.

The school also has a kindness and compassion club, which is comprised of third, fourth and fifth grade students. “It’s somewhat like your student body...or leadership club,� Garton said.

In addition to kindness, the club also promotes journaling as Scott did.

Garton explained, however, the intent is not merely for the students to perform kind acts at school, but

everywhere they go. “Not only (are they) doing something in the building, but (they’re) taking it out into the community,� Garton said.

An example of this, she explained, was the students putting together food packages and sending them to troops.

Proof that the program is working, Garton said, is the fact that the entire initiative has been funded privately by individuals and local businesses. “It’s pretty exciting,� she said. “(We’re) incredibly blessed. Everybody has embraced Rachel’s Challenge.�

ing over the installation of those tree lights. It’s going to be cool because we’re having the tree lighting in the little triangle parking lot in front of Cutter’s Point and Los Cabos, so, that will be a wonderful venue.�

A number of service clubs will be at the lighting of the tree, which is located in the roundabout near Fred Meyer on 168th Place Southeast, Throm said, including the Covington Lions Club, Covington Rotary, Kiwanis of the Foothills, the Jennifer Beach Foundation and a new participating group, the Genesis Project, which is based out of the Des Moines-Burien area. “It’s focused on human sex trafficking,� Throm said of the Genesis Project. “I asked them if they’d like to have a booth because I felt like it would fit in well with domestic violence awareness.�

Everything will be free, Throm said, from the purple glow sticks to refreshments.

Since the campaign began, it has grown significantly, and there are new groups as well as projects this year.

For example, Throm explained, the Covington DVTF has expanded its bathroom flier project beyond City Hall. “In the bathrooms at City Hall for the last few years we have always posted little tear off sheets for the DAWN crisis line,� she said. “So we created some posters that go in the back of each stall... with little tear off numbers. Those are replaced often, I can’t tell you how often women are tearing off those numbers.�

This project was launched in August. “We’re visiting every public facility in Covington, restaurants, shopping centers and some doctor’s clinics, and all we’re asking is for their permission to post them,� Throm said. “We have volunteers that visit every month, they post them with tape, if the numbers are gone, they’ll replace

Rural school sites task force A task force to evaluate the siting of schools in the rural areas of King County has been proposed for consideration by the Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC), a countywide planning body that has been working to update the set of growth policies that governs jurisdictions in King County.

The Tahoma School District’s planned fifth elementary site is in a rural area.

The School Siting Task Force would bring together officials from school districts,

them with new ones. The volunteers are totally responsible for keeping the walls clean and neat.�

Throm explained the expanded availability of the bathroom fliers in the community is exciting because it increases awareness and gives women another way to connect with resources for victims.

A new partnership is forming locally, as well, Throm said, with the Greater Maple Valley Community Center’s teen center, The Den. “They have reached out and they want to be more involved in domestic violence education and offering a class,� she said. “They’re interested in offering In Their Shoes to their leadership group.�

In Their Shoes is a role playing exercise that helps teens gain a greater understanding of domestic and dating violence.

Throm said the best way to stop the cycle of violence is to education and starting with teens just makes sense.

She hopes to continue working with local teens to educate them about dating violence. “Another area that I’ve been working with is the youth groups that are faith based,� Throm said.

For example, Throm said, she’s connected with the youth group at St. John the Baptist in Covington. The group is doing a fundraiser on Saturday, a bunco night, and the leaders of the group wanted to raise money for a local organization and chose the DVTF. “They’re selling purple lights,� she said. “They’re just dynamite. Those kids are amazing. They’re raising lots of money and awareness of dating violence.�

Throm also has started working with Kent-based Project U(th) (pronounced ‘youth’). “These kids, they’re real leaders, they want to make decisions,� she said of Project U(th). “One thing I said I needed

was a poster. In a day and a half a kid created this poster.

I’m hoping that they will get more involved.�

Throm will also speak to the youth group from Covington Christian Fellowship in late October to discuss dating violence issues with the kids. “I feel very excited about getting more time with our faith based community and getting their support because it’s an issue everywhere,� she said.

As far as the Purple Light Nights campaign goes on a wider scale, it continues to grow in other communities across the country, Throm said.

In 2008, cities and counties in five states participated, in 2009 the number of states participating rose to 14. In 2010 there were 20 states participating as well as growing interest internationally as well as two provinces in Canada.

This year the campaign has grown to 23 states and now includes Texas and New York.

Many states that participated in previous years have seen growth, too, Throm said. Ohio, for example, is going statewide and will light up landmarks purple.

A third Canadian province is participating this year.

And work continues to incorporate the campaign into a violence awareness month in England in November.

Going international, Throm said, “That will be our next big step into new territory.�

Money raised through the sales of purple light bulbs and strings of lights, which are available at the Maple Valley Community Center and Covington City Hall, goes to support the Covington Domestic Violence Task Force.

cities, public health and the county to review rural properties currently owned by school districts and make recommendations for siting schools that are in the best interests of children and taxpayers and that are in compliance with the state Growth Management Act. “As a lifelong supporter of public education and an advocate for growth management, I believe we can better align city, county and education planning.

We need to support each other’s work to create successful schools and healthy communities that promote family involvement,� said King County Executive Dow Constantine, who chairs the GMPC.The proposed task force stems from an agree-

ment between King County, Seattle, Bellevue and the Suburban Cities Association to examine the question of whether sewer lines should continue to be extended into rural areas to accommodate schools that planned for the future by purchasing rural property.

The task force would report its findings to Executive Constantine in February, 2012.

Creation of the task force would come with potential adoption of the King County Countywide Planning Policies, a framework for local comprehensive land use plans under the state Growth Management Act.

Major depression is a very serious yet treatable disease. Though many people think of depression as being a condition that affects the mind, major depression is a problem that involves the body as well as the mind. Along with a host of other indicators, symptoms include feelings of worthlessness, fatigue, lack of interest in things that were once interesting, recurrent thoughts of death or dying, crying spells, and physical signs like headaches and back pain. While everybody gets “the blues� sometimes, major depression is a condition that people can’t just snap out of on their own. Doctors will often prescribe a combination of psychotherapy and prescription anti-depressants to treat the condition. Seek help for depression. If you have thoughts of suicide, call a doctor or the suicide prevention hotline right away.

If you feel like you can’t stop yourself, call 911.

Even the most severe depression is treatable. With the right help and support, you can and will feel better. Just as no two people are affected the exact same way by depression, there is no “one size fits all� treatment that cures depression. What works for one person might not work for another. The best way to treat depression is to become as informed as possible about the treatment options, and then tailor them to meet your needs.

If you have questions or would like an appointment with a health care provider at Southlake Clinic, please call us at (253) 395-1972. We are located at 27005 168th Place SE in Covington. Saturday appointments are now available.

One of their recommendations was to close the Lake Wilderness Grill and open up a sports bar.

The task force, Johnston stated, “Pretty much said the operation as an enterprise the city can’t sustain subsidies like it is. The first way you do that is you look at the way they were doing business.�

The restaurant, Johnston explained, did not have a good business model. “They had a full service restaurant, full service bar,� he said. “There wasn’t the demand to meet the level of service they were providing.�

� Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K : “I may not be a smart man...but I know what love is.� - Forrest Gump

The new world of online dating W

e are considering a new series of enterprise reporting written by TJ Martinell who works out of the Covington-Maple ValleyBlack Diamond Reporter office.

The subject is online dating.

I was hoping I could do the research and write the series, but, certain staff members think the story is too much fun for me.

Fine.

The idea for the series came from me. Despite what some think, I’m really Mr. Happy.

The online dating issue caught my attention when TJ told me that guys his age, in their mid20s, are going online to find dates.

I always thought the folks clicking the online dating buttons were sitting around on locked wards sipping red liquid and watching Jack Nicholson in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.�

Now I find out everyone is using online dating. I did a brief survey of folks in my office and found out most had friends and relations of all ages using the various online dating services.

No one ever tells me anything.

The whole world changed and no one told me.

I’ll bet God is up there in heaven saying, “Online dating? What’s that? Why didn’t anyone tell me about this? I’m God, I get to know things.�

Apparently, people looking for a date fill out screening surveys online and some computer nerd matches you up with a breathing entity who has the same answers.

On Tuesday, Sept. 6, the Greater Maple Valley Unincorporated Area Council held its regular monthly meeting. Jay Osborne, Manager in the Road Services Division (RSD) of the King County Department of Transportation, discussed the updated Strategic Plan for Road Services based on current and projected budget constraints.

Part of that plan is a new tiered level of service that would be implemented beginning in 2012, pending King County Council approval. The plan shows revenues are insufficient to sustain the preservation and maintenance of the entire county road system. Consequently, RSD has prioritized which roadways will be serviced to keep them in working order, while allowing other roadways to deteriorate due to lack of maintenance and preservation.

RSD is significantly constrained by a struc-

The only thing I can figure is there must be a very good lie detector on the man side of the screening survey. I bet that lie detector is a girl sitting at a terminal with a finely honed sense of humor. “Right, 150 pounds. Yeah when you were 2.� “Sure, 6 feet 2, on a ladder.�

When I was young I don’t remember any screening devices beyond a six pack of beer, which may be the best argument for online dating and screening surveys The truth is every boy I have ever known was a major fumbling loser when it came to girls. All of us were trying to get some girl

to like us, and all we heard were, “not in this lifetime, dip.�

I have a scientific theory that women are genetically designed to be impervious to all the dopey girl catching tactics males try.

There is one small caveat that allows for marriage.

I call it women’s Achilles’ heel.

Females are completely invincible except for that one moment of weakness. At the right moment, if a male specimen is lucky, he gets a girl to believe his lies for a very short time.

If he doesn’t hesitate, he may find someone to share his life and believe his lies until death do them part, and there is nothing in this world like it. It has happened.

Based on my observations of watching hopeless guys try to get a date, online dating may be the best way to find that special girl.

It can’t be any worse.

tural funding problem due to losses of major sources of funding in recent years: elimination of the local option vehicle license fee, voterapproved initiative limiting property tax growth to 1 percent annually (thus, not necessarily keeping pace with inflation), exhaustion of levy capacity, steady decline in gas-tax revenues, and the decrease in federal and state grant funding available.

In the meantime, costs for labor, materials, equipment and for meeting standards and regulatory requirements have generally increased.

Sixty-five percent of the RSD revenues are from property taxes.

Only 12 percent comes from the gas tax. Property values have gone down reducing property tax receipts and people are driving less, reducing gas tax receipts. As a result, RSD is looking at about 18 percent layoffs by the end of this year.

Mr. Osborne focussed on meeting unincorporated area road needs under this constrained budget environment. The targeted approach focuses on five ranked priorities: regulatory compliance, core safety, preservation and maintenance, mobility, and capacity (only for urban connector arterioles to support urban growth).

It is estimated $240 million is needed annually for optimal management of the unincorporated area roads system. This includes the costs of completing the backlog of road projects, of meeting new transportation system needs, and of adopting an approach to minimize lifetime costs of existing roads, bridges, etc.

However, under the current funding structure, only $102 million is estimated to be available

annually beginning in 2015, insufficient to fund infrastructure maintenance and preservation to sustain the current condition of the system.

There would be difficult choices to make since the system would eventually deteriorate to failure conditions. Some bridges and roads would eventually need to be load-limited to prevent damage. Speed reductions on some roadways, more lane closures for emergency repairs, and increased congestion would eventually occur.

Some complete closures of roads and bridges might be necessary. Maintenance would be primarily reactive in nature, and the associated needs and costs would accelerate as infrastructure condition deteriorates. Emergency and storm response capability would be limited due to lack of resources. Mr. Osborne termed this scenario as “managing risk in a declining system.�

As a result, a tiered level of service has been established which consists of: tier 1 – the spine of the county road system (e.g., Issaquah-Hobart Rd.), totals 105 miles (7 percent); tier 2 – connectors and backup for tier 1 roads (e.g., Cedar Grove Rd.), totals 166 miles (11 percent); tier 3 – highly used local roads (e.g., Sweeney Road Southeast), totals 193 miles (12 percent); tier 4 – residential dead end roads, totals 510 miles (32 percent) and tier 5 – local roads that have alternate access, totals 590 miles (38 percent).

All five tiers will be addressed when it comes to regulatory compliance and safety, but only the highest tiers for preservation and maintenance. [ more LETTERS page 7 ]

XXX DPWJOHUPOSFQPSUFS DPN t XXX NBQMFWBMMFZSFQPSUFS DPN [ LETTERS from page 6] In the greater Maple Valley area about 60 percent of the unincorporated roads are tier 4 and 5.

The King County County Council will be discussing and voting on the tiered system later this month and it will be reflected in the 2012 budget. More information can be found at: www.kingcounty.gov/roads.

Peter Rimbos Corresponding Secretary Greater Maple Valley Unincorporated Area Council

Bankruptcy will not affect political decisions This is an open letter is to the voters, residents and business owners of Maple Valley.

Apparently there has been a whisper campaign against me recently in Maple Valley.

Guess what, I did file a personal bankruptcy earlier this year. What you don’t know is why. This letter isn’t about making excuses but about sharing the facts.

I worked for T-Mobile for over 13 years making a great salary and receiving amazing benefits. Five years ago, my husband, Michael, who also worked for T-Mobile, decided to follow the American dream of owning his own business.

He left his job, took courses and opened Pinnacle Home Inspections. After two years in business, working hard to save money so I could also follow the dream of self employment, I left my job and we purchased a franchise, EnviroSpect Northwest.

Shortly after opening the business our franchisor closed their doors due to the fail-

CROSSWORD ANSWERS

ing economy, leaving us without the benefits and support we paid for and expected.

The eight months of reserves we had diligently set aside very quickly diminished leaving us in a bad situation.

When you own a business you have to take risks, sometimes they pan out and sometimes they don’t.

It isn’t about not being able to manage a budget or balance a checkbook.

Now I am not telling this to you to gain your sympathy but to tell you that I know first hand what it is like to face adversity and struggle during the tough economy, not too much unlike so many Americans.

Golden said, “The only thing that overcomes hard luck is hard work� and that is what I have done and what I pledge to do for our community.

This experience gives me a unique perspective and makes me a better candidate for City Council. The silver lining in the story is that we have adjusted and adapted to this economy and we were able to keep our business which is stronger than ever, our house and transportation were also saved through the process.

Each of us is only one decision, one major medical problem or unexpected loss away from losing everything. It isn’t about getting knocked down, it’s about getting back up.

I will walk through Maple Valley with my head held high knowing that my experience does not define me. I find comfort and solace in taking attention off myself and directing my time, talents and efforts to helping our community and others.

I hope you want a leader who has been through adversity who has walked in your shoes and understands your challenges.

During all of this I have been a proven leader for the Maple Valley Chamber of Commerce as president leading from the front. I have also been a community contributor for several local organizations and spent the last weekend walking 60 miles in the quest for

September 30 , 2011 [7] (parents and teachers included), the membership increased last year to 600 members, still only 25 percent, but an improvement.

This year my daughter is a sophomore at Tahoma High School and so I offered to assist with the membership committee at the high school. I was aghast to find out that there were only 100 PTA members last year while over 1,700 students attended Tahoma High School 2010-2011.

I was also amazed at how much the high school PTA does; student and teacher appreciation, breakfast for students prior to HSPE (high school proficiency exam) testing, support clubs and organizations, provide transportation for the junior art field trip, award senior community scholarships and much more – with just 100 members. I know everyone is aware that Maple Valley was voted one of the best cities to live in the U.S. In a big part, that is because of our schools.

I strongly encourage everyone that has school age children to join their school’s PTA. Look for the membership form in your child’s paperwork, or go to the school’s PTA website. Your membership will be appreciated, even if you don’t volunteer.

If you do volunteer, I bet you’ll find you like it. I’ve never been around such a motivated group so dedicated to the success of our children.

Lastly, we don’t want to be the school district that has hardly any membership in the state’s PTA. Let’s show some pride Maple Valley, support your school’s PTA.

the cure of breast cancer in the 3-Day. As you can see I am not a politician and I am not perfect.

I am, however, a mom, wife, grandmother, homeowner, business owner and tax payer. I am just a real person, working hard to bring this community together and serve the residents in the manor they should expect. I am saddened to see that this campaign turned negative and personal.

I can only hope that people will see through the political rhetoric and see me for who I am and how I will represent you.

Karen Crowe Maple Valley

Lack of PTA members alarming Dear Editor, Last year I wrote a letter about PTA membership and feel compelled to do the same this year. In a time of school bonds failing and school budgets being cut, I feel it is so important for parents to be involved and support the schools their children attend.

I know everyone is very busy and PTA membership scares people because they think they will have to volunteer. I have been a PTA member for years, but just last year I stepped up to be the membership chair for the Tahoma Middle School/Junior High PTA. I was amazed to find out that out of over 2,200 combined students, there were only 400 members of the PTA two years ago

Leih Mulvihill has a passion for gifts, decorating and her community. She understands how important the perfect gift and design is and strives to find the most beautiful, unique and affordable, all of which you’ll find at her shop, Leih’s Gifts located in historic Black Diamond.

When asked how she does it in this economy, working seven days a week, she explains, “It’s my ministry. I’m doing what I was called to do. Plus, this town has given me so much. I may not be making a living, but I am keeping the doors open.�

Her passion for her community also extends to running for re-election to City Council position 5. “A vision was created 15 years ago and I hope to see that vision fulfilled responsibly with good design, excellent schools and a plan everyone can live with. We all want the same things - a prosperous, thriving, close-knit community where we can watch our kids grow up, followed by our grandkids. It’s not too often a town gets that kind of opportunity and it’s very exciting.�

Megan and her husband Steve made the decision to open Bounce it Up about 2 1/2 years ago.

Megan and her son Hudson had just moved to Maple Valley when she and Steve were married.

What was immediately obvious to Megan was the lack of things available for parents to do with their children in the area. Megan was unemployed at the time and had a desire to start her own business. To bring something to the area that would benefit local families was the drive for both of them. “It has been an amazing opportunity to create a safe and fun place for the children of our community. We have been so blessed to be in a community that has welcomed us with open arms. They have even fought for us to stay in business when we had some issues with the City of Black Diamond. We will never be able to say thank you enough for all of the support each and every one of our customers has provided. We have made amazing friends and have met so many wonderful people!�

Megan and Steve are currently working on their next business for the kids of our community.

Kentlake wins shoot-out with Jefferson

KENTWOOD HIGH GRADUATE HAGUE EARNS ALL-STAR MVP HONORS Matt Hague, a 2004 Kentwood High graduate, has been named the 2011 Indianapolis Indians Most Valuable Player after his outstanding baseball season with the Triple-A club of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Hague batted .309 with 12 homers and 75 RBIs. The Pirates drafted Hague, 26, a first baseman, in the ninth round of the 2008 draft. He also was named to the International League’s 2011 Postseason All-Star Team.

He received a custom-made ring for winning the team MVP award. Hague had hoped to be called up to the Pirates when rosters were expanded this month, but the Pirates did not bring him up to the majors.

With the 49-34 victory over the Raiders, the Falcons remain undefeated and alone in first place in the SPSL North

BY KRIS HILL

khill@covingtonreporter.com

Steffin Church, who shared quarterbacking duties with Caleb Saulo, made the decisive play for Kentlake in its 49-34 win Sept.

23 over Thomas Jefferson at Federal Way — on defense.

With 55.4 seconds remaining in the game, Church picked off Jefferson’s dual-threat quarterback KW Williams and returned it for a touchdown, making what had been a back and forth game seem like a blowout. “Church, he’s a pretty smart kid,� said Kentlake head coach Chris Paulson. “(Williams) makes me a better coach.�

The shootout was an offensive highlight reel for both squads.

Kentlake struck first on a Saulo to Austin Pernell touchdown connection just 55 seconds into the game.

The Falcons followed that up with a rushing touchdown by Tanner Lucas from the one yard line.

After one quarter of play Kentlake was up 13-0 and Jefferson hadn’t even gotten into Falcons territory.

Lucas picked up his second touch down of the game with 5:01 left in the first half but the Falcons two point conversion failed, putting them up 19-0.

Jefferson got on the board with a field goal in the second quarter then

closed the gap when Williams threw a 40 yard bomb to a receiver for the Raiders first touch down of the game, followed by a successful two point conversion making it 19-11.

The Raiders put another field goal through the uprights shortly before the end of the first half to make it 19-14.

Barely a minute and a half into the second quarter Jefferson fumbled the ball and Kentlake recovered.

A play later Pernell ran the ball on an option from the 50 yard line and took

it down the sideline to the end zone to put Kentlake up 26-14.

But Jefferson turned right around and put together a drive that ended with a 15yard strike from Williams to Rithvik Lagisetti to make it 26-20 Kentlake.

Not to be outdone, Saulo took the snap on the first play of Kentlake’s next drive and ran it 80 yards to the house to extend the lead to 33-20.

What Saulo could do, though, so could Williams who on the next drive slipped away from eight

Falcons defenders and danced his way to an 84 yard touchdown run right in front of the Kentlake bench to close it to 33-27.

Both teams ensuing drives were stymied.

Then with 1:07 left in the third quarter Jefferson’s Yobel Mengistu hauled in an interception which set up a touch down toss from Williams to Gunner Sonnenfeld with 4.9 seconds left in the quarter. With the point after touch down kick good, the Raiders took their first — and only — lead of the game, 34-33.

Kentlake then scored on its next two possessions, a field goal with 7:20 left in the game then after its defense held Jefferson, Saulo faked a handoff and took the ball in for the touchdown to make it 43-34.

And then came Church’s big defensive play. “We’ve been talking for the past couple weeks about finishing,� Paulson said. “So, to see them come out in the second half and finish, it was great. If you can turn it over that many times and still score 49 points, that’s great. We did a lot better job of finishing.

This is the first time in four games we’ve played all 48 minutes.�

As the final seconds ticked off the clock, the Kentlake students chanted “four and oh, four and oh!’ Kentlake, now 4-0 in the SPSL North, has a strong lead heading into its homecoming game Friday night against Tahoma which beat Auburn at home 34-21 to go to 2-2. “We know Tahoma is pretty good,� Paulson said. “You’ve got to be ready when you’re going up against a team coached by Tony Davis.�

Rainier Christian put on quite a show for the football team’s first home game at Kentlake High Saturday afternoon.

The Mustangs lost 26-20 to the Hawks of Tulalip Heritage from Marysville, but the boys kept the game interesting and made a run in the fourth to at least tie the game. The drive was stopped by a fumble with about 1 minute left on the clock.

Rainier Christian fell behind early, but, found the formula for scoring and by the third quarter had pulled to 26-14.

Ben Littlefield broke a 48-yard run on the second play of the fourth quarter and the Mustangs were within six at 26-20. The two-point conversion failed.

The Mustangs showed a balanced attack moving the ball on the ground and through the air.

Fullback Jared Nelson scored on a run on the right side of the line and wideout

David Helmer scored on a passing play.

Next up for Rainier Christian is Neah Bay at noon on Saturday at Kentlake High.

The Mustangs will be looking to score its first win for the two-year-old program.

Tahoma knocks off Auburn 34-21 at home

BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

A

year ago Tahoma came within four points of knocking off Auburn, falling 31-27 on the football field at Auburn Memorial Stadium.

This season, the home turf at Maxwell Stadium was much kinder to the Bears, who handed the Trojans a 3421 loss — their second straight — in South Puget Sound League North 4A action on Sept. 23.

Playing before a standing room only crowd, Tahoma (2-1 league, 2-2 overall) drew first blood in the contest, with senior running back Zach Browne running one in from 3

Kentwood knocks off Tahoma in volleyball league opener

BY KRIS HILL khill@maplevalleyreporter.com

A 3-0 loss to Kentwood was probably not what defending South Puget Sound League North Division champion Tahoma had in mind for the volleyball league opener Sept.

21.

The Conquerors jumped out to a 10-4 lead in the first set, though the Bears fought back closing it to 15-9 before the combination of errors on Tahoma’s side of the net and Kentwood’s hitters putting kills away led to a 25-12 first set win for the Conks.

Lauren Hackett led Kentwood with eight kills, five blocks and three aces, but setter Kacie Seims spread the ball around to the Conquerors offense as she put up 29 assists.

Mikaela Ballou hammered out seven kills while Mele Halahuni racked up six and Sarah Toeaina added five kills along with three blocks.

The second set of the game was much closer as Kentwood and Tahoma traded kills. At the end of the frame, though, the Conks held off the Bears 25-12 in a gym

yards out for a touchdown.

Auburn (2-2, 2-2) tied the contest up in the second quarter, with junior Trojan running back Darnell Hagans first picking off an errant Shane Nelson pass, then running the ball in for a 34-yard TD on the next play from scrimmage.

Not content to go into intermission with a mere 7-7 tie however, Tahoma capitalized on a Beau Riggs fumble recovery with 14-seconds left in the half, with senior kicker David Stoecker booting a 34-yard field goal with no time left on the clock.

In the second half the Bears continued their dominance, with Browne adding 2- and 3-yard TDs.

packed with students from both schools which provided a playoff-like atmosphere in the stands and on the court.

Kentwood raced out to a 12-2 lead in the third set and it looked as though it would close the game out easily but Tahoma surged back twice in the match before losing the set 25-18.

Tahoma junior Rachelle Frets led the Bears with 11 kills while senior setter PREP Miranda Grieser tallied 19 assists and VOLLEYBALL three blocks and Amber Thompson collected 20 kills.

With the win, Kentwood moved to 6-0 overall and 1-0 in league play, while Tahoma dropped to 0-1 in league and 2-4 overall.

Kentwood travels to Thomas Jefferson on Tuesday while Tahoma plays at Kentlake the same night.

Kentlake, meanwhile, played its league opener Set. 21 at Mount Rainier, winning 3-0.

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@maplevalleyreporter.com

A 51-year-old Maple Valley resident was shot and killed by Issaquah Police officers on Sept. 24 after firing a rifle at the officers and pedestrians. No one else was injured during the incident.

The man was identified as Ronald W. Ficker by the King County Medical Examiners Office on Tuesday.

According to a press release from King County Sheriff ’s spokesperson Sgt. John Urquhart, Issaquah Police started to receive calls at around 11:15 a.m.

Saturday morning about a man who had abandoned his 2011 Kia sedan in the middle of the road at the

intersection of Front Street and Newport Way. The man was seen carrying two rifles and pointing them at pedestrians.

Walking to Clark Elementary on 2nd Avenue Southeast, witnesses saw the suspect trying to break into a parked, unoccupied car in the parking lot of the school, according to the press release.

The suspect then fired his rifle and continued onto school property, where he tried to get into the cab of a backhoe that was parked at the school. He was unsuccessful, and more shots were fired.

Issaquah Police officers arrived at the school.

According to the press

release, the suspect went into a prone position on the service road on the school property and fired at the officers. Four officers returned fire and the man was hit. He died at the scene.

A football game was in progress at the nearby Issaquah High School stadium. The game was halted due to the shooting.

The King County Sheriff ’s Office has launched an investigation into the incident and subsequent death of the suspect.

The Sheriff ’s Office Major Crimes Unit will conduct the investigation, with the assistance from detectives from the Bellevue Police Department and a liaison from Issaquah Police.

Arielle Young featured at Creative Arts Center Graphic design artist Arielle Young, a Tahoma High graduate, was featured in her first solo show at Maple Valley Creative Arts Center.

Young’s dynamic rock concert posters have been on display throughout Maple Valley.

Her graphics also show up on screen printed tees as well as taking on the form of the occasional bumper sticker.

Young’s life is her art project. Aside from graphic design the Black Diamond native plays punk, blues, metal, traditional and acoustic music.

She is also involved in philanthropy, journalism, music education and being a roller derby mascot.

She began creating concert posters for the benefit of the students at Dace’s Rock ‘n’ More Music Academy more than six years ago when she was still in high school and hasn’t been willing to give up the job since nor has anyone wanted her to stop.

An early start, an eclectic, sometimes frantic creative streak, and an obsessive love of font have combined to create some of the most eyecatching, colorful, and just flat-out cool poster and T-shirt designs in the world.
