School districts evaluate test scores
Budget weathering the storm for now

Many families received test scores in late September and parents likely saw improvement in their child’s test scores as well as their schools. Students in both the Tahoma and Kent school districts showed improvement but officials in both districts also continue to focus on areas which could be strengthened.
Covington has weathered the economic downturn and could, with continued diligence, survive until the economy bounces back. That’s what City Manager Derek Matheson told the City Council on Oct. 10 during his 2012 draft budget presentation. As city staff worked on the budget, COVINGTON Matheson said, a handful of themes became apparent. “Bold cuts early in the recession have served the city well and allowed us to continue to provide quality services to the community,� Matheson said. “However, growing expenditures are catching up with flat revenues.� Watching how it spends its money, Matheson said, should

In the workshop with a real life Santa Claus BY KRIS HILL
khill@covingtonreporter.com
Vern Heinle’s 8-year-old grandson thinks he’s Santa Claus. His wife, Caroline, had a conversation with the little boy not too long ago. “He was convinced, he said, ‘He has a beard, he has a workshop and he builds toys,’� she said. And around the holidays, youngsters in need in the area may well think Vern Heinle is
Santa, because the toy-building 78-year-old Kent resident will deliver 200 handmade wooden cars and trucks to the Forgotten Children’s Fund with some of grandsons in tow. Vern Heinle began building toys for the Seattle-based non-profit four years ago after connecting with Jim Pelletier of Covington. Vern Heinle is a regular at Shari’s on Kent Kangley Road and 132nd Avenue Southeast in Kent,
where Pelletier is the manager, and was encouraged to get involved in the restaurant’s efforts to support the Forgotten Children’s Fund annual Christmas drive. A year ago Vern Heinle told the Reporter that Pelletier’s enthusiasm for the work the non-profit does overwhelmed him. “Over the years, Vern has brought in some of the stuff he’s made, some of the wallets, some of the holsters, some of the jewelry boxes,� Pelletier told the Reporter in November 2010. “The connection was easy. We do a food and toy drive twice a year: Christmas in July and Christmas. In talking about, one Vern walked [ more SANTA page 4 ]

Covington Chamber appoints new director BY TJ MARTINELL
tmartinell@covingtonreporter.com
TRUNK OR TREAT SET FOR OCT. 29 AT LIGHT OF LIFE LUTHERAN CHURCH Light of Life Lutheran Church and Preschool is hosting its annual Trunk or Treat from 5-7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29. The event is a free, family-friendly community event for the kids to safely trick or treat from trunk to trunk in our parking lot. There will be free popcorn and hot cocoa/cider. There will also be free raffle prizes. The church is located at 28525 216th Ave SE in Covington. For more information go to the church's website at www.lightoflife.us.
More than a year since the Covington Chamber of Commerce decided to change direction and part ways with its previous director it has hired a new leader in Black Diamond resident Tamara Rose. Now completing her first full month in the position, Rose has already hosted her first planned event, the monthly chamber on Oct. 13. The luncheon also featured a forum for candidates running for Covington City Council, Covington Water District and the Kent School District Board. “My primary job is to grow the chamber,� she said. “I keep the membership happy and bring in new members.� Rose comes with experience at several other chambers, including PuyallupSumner and Fife Milton Edgewood (FME). Though she spends the majority of her time in Covington, she still does some work for the FME Chamber.
because it was the right thing to do,� she said. “Now, in this economy, they’ve got to have a reason. It can’t just be because it’s the right thing to do.� One way to do this, she explained, is for the chamber to provide more ways to benefit businesses, such as the use of the chamber’s networking or their web site. “It’s marketing you can’t buy,� she said. “(It’s about) making it a value based chamber, whether you’re new or old, we want you to find value in the membership.� Currently, she lives in Black Diamond, though she stated she sees it a positive opportunity for her. “This has been my shopping community,� she said. “I get to see it from a different perspective.� Having the city support and encourage business is critical to seeing growth, Rose said, which she feels Covington does well. “They have made Covington an easy place to build.�
She specifically named Destination Covington — a recent event jointly hosted by the Chamber and the Covington Economic Development Council — as an example of what should occur more often. “As a new chamber executive, it tells me that their businesses are here to stay,� she said. “There are no empty spaces. They have made it easier the process of building a company.� Roses hope is to preserve that relationship. “I’ve never seen a city that works so well with their chamber and cares so much about their community,� she said. “They want to keep the people living here happy. That speaks a lot about Covington. It’s an exciting time to be a part of the city.�

City budgets, cuts to education and rising utility rates were among the topics discussed at a candidate forum held at Covington Christian Fellowship Oct. 13. The forum was featured as a part of the Covington Chamber of Commerce luncheon. The forum started with an introduction by each candidate, followed by a
question and answer segment. Those attending the luncheon were also allowed to submit written answers for the candidates to answer. The first question went to Joseph Cimaomo, Jr. and incumbent Marlla Mhoon, who are running for Covington City Council Position No. 1. Both of them were asked what their priorities were for the city’s budget. “When it comes to something like this, one of the
biggest things is...promoting a farmers market,� said Cimaomo. “Residents from Auburn, Black Diamond and maybe even Federal Way will come to the city. They’ll come, have lunch at a restaurant...and while they’re here we’ll be getting money from them as well.� “We’re just entering our budget season and it’s always a challenge,� said Mhoon. “Just like in your businesses, our city is running a very tight budget. We’re being very conserva-

tive with our expenditures. We’re very conservative about projections for income.� Mhoon added that one of the biggest challenges that the city is facing is funding for Covington Park. Although they have received $1.5 million in grants, they are still trying to figure out how to deal with park maintenance. “That’s going to be a huge, huge issue,� she said. “How are we going to fund our park?�
Incumbent Tom DeLaat and Vern Allemand who are running for the Covington Water District Board of Commissioners Position No. 1, were asked about the apparent negative image the District has received recently concerning its impact on development. “They made a decision to buy into future water that now has to be paid form,� said Allemand. “Let’s be realistic.

[4] October 21, 2011 [ BUDGET from page 1] help Covington keep deficits down into the next year, but because the city has had to spend more money while experiencing no growth in revenue, things could get tough if the economy does not turn around. “A double dip recession could necessitate a mid-year adjustment in 2012,� Matheson said. “On a national level, the recovery seems to be stalling after a strong start at the beginning of 2011.� While job growth and taxable retail sales have provided bright spots in the economic outlook, Covington has also seen increases in the real estate excise tax receipts compared to the previous two years, while sales tax revenues

in with these toys he had just created. I don’t think we officially talked about it. It just happened.� Last year Vern Heinle made 145 toys, this year his goal is to make 200, with 140 made as of Oct. 13. Vern Heinle spent 40
years as a carpenter but has made toys as a hobby for decades. His house is filled with his handiwork, as well, his wife of 20 years points out. There are toys, a rocking horse, cabinets, jewelry boxes, blocks worn smooth from use, the dining room table and more. Caroline Heinle also
are on target for the third quarter, Matheson said. The city has continued to use strategies it adopted in 2010 to manage its budget, Matheson noted, including making changes to how money is distributed among funds, foregoing the biennial budget process until the economy stabilizes and modifying the merit award program for city employees by replacing bonuses with additional floating holidays. Covington officials are reviewing ways they can bring in additional revenue with two specific options on the table. First is the .5 percent, or about $180,000, available in utility tax authority. Cities have the authority to tax water and sewer districts via interlocal agreement, Matheson said, the two districts which serve Covington residents
have not seemed receptive to the idea of using that capacity to bring in additional cash to the city’s coffers. The second option is for the city, acting as a transportation benefit district, to impose a vehicle license fee of up to $20 per car without a public vote or up to $100, but more than $20 must be put to the voters. The finance department estimated a $20 vehicle license fee would bring in between $180,000 and $280,000 annually. “We plan to seize opportunities that make sense,� Matheson said. “We plan to keep our neighborhoods safe, our streets repaired and our grounds maintained. And, we plan to survive this economy. With continued and increased community support, we plan to keep that promise.�

Making toys which inspire children to use their imagination, he added, comes from growing up “10 miles from nowhere� in North Dakota with very little money. Growing up he would go searching with his friends and siblings to find bleached out animal bones to play with because they

doing this since 1975, when a letter to Santa landed in a restaurant, where a group of people decided to ensure that needy children and their families would not go without at Christmas — began in September. He would have started sooner, but, the retiree said he had to get the patio project done in the backyard first. “It satisfies the creative urge in me,� Vern Heinle said of toy building for the fund. “Also, it gives my ego a boost.� His wife pointed out the important lessons this kind of community service teaches their grandchildren. “I’ve heard you tell the grandsons, ‘You need to learn what it feels like to give, the feeling of doing

That is what taught him a child can play with anything. “The toys bring out the creativity in the children,� he said. “With my cars and trucks the little boys can become truck drivers or race car drivers.� Vern Heinle said he couldn’t have done any of this without the help of Lumber Products or his friends Richard, Clarence, Brian, Scotty and Matthew. In addition, he encourages anyone who wants to help support the Forgotten Children’s Fund to drop off non-perishable food items at Shari’s in Kent. While he may not be Santa, Vern Heinle sure does a good impression of the jolly old elf.

XXX DPWJOHUPOSFQPSUFS DPN t XXX NBQMFWBMMFZSFQPSUFS DPN Proficiency Exam given in the spring, Del Giudice wrote in an email interview. “Overall, the percent of students who scored proficient in reading increased in grades three, four, six and 10 with grade six increasing by 6.7 percent proficient and grade 10 increasing by 6.3 percent,� Del Giudice wrote. “Other highlights include fifth grade math scores increasing by 6.2 percent proficient and sixth grade math scores increasing by 7.1 percent. Science scores improved in every grade, with the highest increase in grade five, which increased by an additional 21.7 percent of the students scoring proficient.� An example of the success in science testing is at Covington Elementary, where nearly 72 percent of students in fifth grade last year met or exceeded standard, a huge jump from the previous school year when less than 15 percent of students were proficient. Covington fifth and sixth grade students also made significant gains in reading and math, including double digit percentage improvements from the year before in math among both
groups, according to data on the Washington state Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction website. Kent students also did well on the new math end of course assessments, Del Giudice wrote, with 69.7 percent of the students met standard on EOC 1 compared to 64.3 percent statewide while in the EOC 2, 71.3 percent scored proficient which “puts Kent very close to the state average� of 73.5 percent. District officials will be working on reading and math among seventh and eighth graders, Del Giudice wrote, as those “are areas we will watch.� “They showed small decreases ranging from 1.1 to 4.3 percent fewer proficient students,� she wrote. “We are continuing to watch the achievement of special populations, such as English Learners, and special education students, who consistently score lower than the mainstream student in every school district because of their special needs.� Additional support will be provided to students through the district’s Tiered Intervention programs at each building.
“In Tiered Intervention, students in need are given instruction in small groups based on areas where they need extra instruction until they catch up with the rest of their class,� Del Giudice wrote.
TAHOMA STILL NEAR THE TOP OF THE CLASS Test results for Tahoma students, said Dawn Wakeley, the district’s associate director of teaching and learning, demonstrate a level of consistency and high achievement. “At every single level in all of the content areas, the message is Tahoma continues to do really well,� Wakeley said. “Our teachers and our kids are really working hard at learning. Tahoma is, on average, in the top 10 percent of districts in our state and that’s because of the hard work of our kids and our teachers and our parents.� Youngsters in Tahoma are in the top 20 in every content area in every grade level but two grade levels where they are 27th and 34th. Most students in the district are meeting standard, Wakeley noted, but not all. “When you get up to that
level... drastic changes in data is hard,� she said. “Our staff is really dedicated to working hard to provide that for every single kid. It’s student by student and skill by skill that our teachers are thinking about in terms of instruction and learning.� An area the district is particularly focused on, Wakeley said, is math. “We have a new math program at the elementary level and last year we put in a new math curriculum at second grade, so, we’ve invested a lot in trying to support our students learning math.� Wakeley said that while Tahoma students did well on the end of course assessments, there is still room for growth. She explained high school students starting
with the class of 2013, thanks to a new state law, have to pass a course specific test in algebra and geometry as well as earn three math credits beyond those two courses. In either algebra or geometry, Wakeley noted, 78 percent of Tahoma students met standard, “but that leaves 22 percent are going to have to retake it in January.� “Having to meet standard on both exams, that will be a challenge for kids and families across the state,� Wakeley said. “We’re doing everything we can to make sure they have a chance for success. We want our students to benefit from all the learning that all the districts are doing connected to this.� The district has a number

$$$ " !#" #!
of intervention programs in place to help students who struggle to meet standard, Wakeley stated, ranging from silent sustained reading during Go Time at the middle school level to intercessions during mid-winter or spring break at Tahoma High. During the summer there has been a program that offers online instruction with weekly meetings of students and teachers to go over material which has led to improvement. “Getting that last little group (to meet standard) is challenging,� Wakeley said. “We do have interventions in place. That extra time and support is key. We can get them there and we can keep them there as long as we can give that extra little boost.�

� Q U O T E O F N O T E : �If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.� -George Washington
The white elephant lurking in Black Diamond years of planning and getting yelled at in meetings. David Bricklin, a Seattle attorney who has represented appellants challenging the developments, said the council could rescind the ordinances based upon the Growth Management Hearings Board’s ruling. The board stated the city should have used a legislative rather than quasi-judicial process to approve the developments. Bricklin said the council “tied its hands� in many other ways in terms of rescinding, but, one avenue open to the City Council for rescinding would be to base it on the hearing board ruling. Other attorneys will disagree with this point of view. I have better sense than to jump into lawyer land. My interest is the campaign and a core issue driving the political process in Black Diamond. I could not discuss this issue with the two incumbents, Leih Mulvihill and Kristine Hanson, because they are both currently considering the development agreements for the projects in a quasi-judicial setting. I did talk to the other four candidates about rescinding the ordinances. It was clear Joe May, who is running for Position No. 3 and Ron Taylor, Position No. 5, when given the opportunity to discuss the issue had a great deal to talk about and had thought about it from all angles. May said it was one of those issues that, “can’t be swept under the rug.� He said he knew it would be a “tough decision if the City Council rescinds. I believe it would automatically trigger a lawsuit by YarrowBay.� May thought another option may be to bring the developments back to the Planning Commission, then back to the City Council for the legislative process the growth board ruled was correct. Dennis Box Editor
I spotted a white elephant roaming around Black Diamond the other day. Its name is rescind the ordinances. There are a few trying to ignore it, but elephants are tough to deny. It became very clear to me at The Greater Maple Valley-Black Diamond Chamber of Commerce forum Oct. 13. The elephant was sitting right in the middle of the room and it was being ignored. The funny thing I have learned about debates over the years is candidates have to be asked the right questions if one really wants to know what a campaign is about. In fairness to candidates it takes the right question for candidates to get their message and ideas out. From my side of the street, one of the central topics of this campaign is the issue of rescinding or repealing the ordinances approving the two YarrowBay master planned developments, The Villages and Lawson Hills. I understand it is a painful and uncomfortable subject for many folks, but political campaigns are about the truth, or as close to it as we can get when trying to see into the future. Hard questions without pat answers is where the real world starts. The two YarrowBay developments would bring about 6,000 homes into Black Diamond, which has caused years of concern, consternation and at times, all out battles in public hearings. The tussling and tugging behind closed doors and in public has been covered in this paper and others around the region. Boiled to its simplest form, the issue causing the most angst are the number of homes. The number 6,000 looms large for some of the residents living in Black Diamond. That is more homes than people living in the town right now. From YarrowBay’s side of the table, they need to be able to build enough homes to pay for all the

However, May said he didn’t see how that would fix the overriding problem, which is the size of the development, or the number of houses. “Would it be economically feasible for YarrowBay to cut it by half?� May asked. “These are really tough questions.� May said the issue of rescinding is a “potential (solution). I have thought about it. It is incredibly complex. It’s just not something you can answer yes or no. It’s got huge ramifications for the city.� May said rescinding could mean a “serious financial challenge for the city. What happens to the funding agreement?� As he has been out campaigning in the community, May said, there are “those who say ‘so what’ and others say it would result in bankruptcy (for the city.)� May said the council members would also have to consider the possibility of a personal lawsuit against them. Once the white elephant is out in the open, all the competing views start coming into focus, making it very complicated and interesting at the same time. Taylor said he took the growth board ruling “very seriously. I don’t think we used the right process. I think there is a big question over the entire process.� The council would have to consider rescinding with “care,� Taylor said. However, he said he has a “problem when a City Council decision is held captive by a city attorney or applicant’s attorney.� Taylor said if elected he would
consider rescinding, “based on the review board’s findings and based on the overwhelming feeling from the community.� Taylor said he thought if the council rescinded the ordinances, YarrowBay would probably sue and if council didn’t, “there would probably be a lawsuit from the other side.� Tamie Boxx-Deady , running for Position No. 1, said she “hadn’t thought that far. I’m not really going to say yes or no (about a rescinding decision).� She did state, “If the community asked for it and the community come out in droves, then I would have to look at it.� Pam McCain, who is running for Position No. 3, said she hadn’t thought about it in terms of taking a position because the City Council is considering the development agreements. “I can’t give a thumbs up or thumbs down because I believe some essential decisions are before the council,� McCain said. She did say she believes master planned developments are what people want. After talking to the candidates it is clear this is an essential and difficult subject. It is being talked about — mostly behind closed doors — and it needs to be brought out in the open air. If candidates and future council members are going consider this it will take serious thought, discussion and debate on what this action will mean for the future of Black Diamond. The white elephant is out.

The Maple Valley Professional Firefighters formally announces their endorsement of Noel
Gerken for reelection to Maple Valley City Council Position No. 5. He has tirelessly served the citizens of Maple Valley for eight plus years as a council member and mayor. Noel is committed to keeping our community safe and genuinely cares about the welfare of our citizens. We have enjoyed a productive working relationship during his tenure. Noel’s mission is helping our families. Under his leadership as mayor the city of Maple Valley was named one of 10 “Best Cities for Families� in America by Family Circle magazine. Noel’s experience, integrity and vision will continue to serve us well into the future. We endorse Noel for reelection to the Maple
Valley City Council Position No. 5.

XXX DPWJOHUPOSFQPSUFS DPN t XXX NBQMFWBMMFZSFQPSUFS DPN [ LETTERS from page 6] the very young city of Maple Valley’s first Economic Development Council. Noel’s service to the city was outstanding then as it was when we later served together on the City Council and his current service as our mayor. Noel has consistently proven his dedication to the best interest of the city and to all residents. Noel has the courage and professionalism to take the tough vote and not knuckle under to the lobbying pressures of special interest groups. Councilman Gerken also has an outstanding record in all parts of his personal life. His education includes a Bachelor of Science degree in chemical engineering from the University of Washington. He’s worked 30 years for Boeing, most recently in project management. These accomplishments plus his personal handling of his family’s finances and family life are a reflection of the leadership he has provided to our city. Our city has achieved a proud record of accomplishments during its short life of 14 years. The Family Circle magazine’s selection of Maple Valley as one of the top 10 cities for families in the nation is a tribute to us all, not the least of which is our wise choice of council members. There’s an old adage that I hold important in life. Don’t try to fix it if it isn’t broken. Maple Valley is a top city – let’s keep it that way by keeping Noel Gerken working for all of us. Marge and I will vote for Noel — I hope you will, too.

The three candidates listed above are not incumbents and I believe they will bring a new and fresh voice to the council with the added benefit of having watched the proceedings unfold for the past few years.

would be an excellent addition to the City Council. Ron Taylor has served on the Black Diamond Planning Commission for several years and is wellversed in city affairs and well prepared to help the City Council. He will be a thoughtful and steady presence and his background on the Planning Commission gives him a realistic insight of past, present and future. Time is running out to make a difference in our city. The Black Diamond
City Council is facing a crisis in public confidence, which it has well earned. It is imperative to vote for new leadership and to change the course of our current City Council. Please join me in electing Joe May, Tamie BoxxDeady and Ron Taylor to the Black Diamond City Council.

in the kids. I am a graduate of Kentwood High School and attended school in the Kent School District for 13 years. In all those years, I never met anyone who could rival Leslie in determination and a love for helping the children of our community. I have witnessed Leslie fight for the Kent East Hill PAL Boxing Club at Kent City Council meetings. I have participated in the Youth Summit forum that Leslie helped create in order to begin discussions among community members regarding youth programming and opportunities, and I have been on the receiving end of Leslie’s vast knowledge about life. Leslie would often stop by Project U(th) and speak to the teens about everything from graduation plans to giving us tips on which fundraisers are the most successful. I am now a sophomore at Whitman College, and am still inspired by Leslie every day, even though I am over 200 miles away. Leslie is a remarkable human being and continues to give her whole heart to our community. Through her dedication to the youth
XXX DPWJOHUPOSFQPSUFS DPN t XXX NBQMFWBMMFZSFQPSUFS DPN of our community and her unending quest to solve the problems in Kent, I know that Leslie Hamada will make a difference in the Kent School District and will fight for what is right for the children. Because of my experience working with Leslie when I was teen and my firsthand account of her efforts in the community, I whole-heartedly support Leslie Kae Hamada for the Kent School Board. She does more than talk, she takes action.

Woodcock for City Council I have chosen to endorse Bill Woodcock for Maple Valley City Council. He is an experienced results driven leader who is ethical in his approach. Bill Woodcock will fight to keep Maple Valley a sustainable thriving community. Our current council has made moves that were negative to many small businesses. If
Alzheimer’s and Dementia
we continue to discourage business more individual taxes are likely. We need economic development that is fair to both business and the community. Bill Woodcock is equipped to deal with these needs, work with the Fred Meyer construction and fight for our city rights regarding the donut hole. Maple Valley needs someone who understands personal needs and the needs of the business community. It is exactly these qualities that Bill Woodcock possesses. He has spent his life building businesses and volunteering throughout the community. He has been the example of overachiever in every regard. It is his pit bull like tenacity that drives him to this success. All the while he never wavers on principal. Having witnessed him myself in both business and in volunteer work I know he is my choice for representation. Bill has proven to have the leadership ability to get the job done and I trust him to represent the city’s best interest when it comes time to deal with issues such as the donut hole. He will not only get the job done he will get the job done right. As a small local business owner who depends on the city for smart ethical choices, I urge you to vote
for Bill Woodcock.

Gerken endorsed by Maple Valley deputy mayor I would like to take this opportunity to encourage our Maple Valley voters to cast their vote to reelect Noel Gerken to the Maple Valley City Council. I have known Noel for well over 16 years. We first met when our youngest boys played local baseball together. Throughout the years I would run into Noel either volunteering, supporting a community activity, or attending a local fund-raising event. When Noel applied for and was unanimously appointed to fill Council member Gary Patrick’s vacated City Council seat in 2003, I knew Noel had the right stuff to become a remarkable council member, and I was right. I have served on the Maple Valley City Council for the past 12 years, and over the years, I have had the privilege of working alongside a number of very remarkable council
members of which Noel is one. Over the past eight years, Noel has become a very effective lawmaker and political community leader. Noel understands the complexities of city government operations and has consistently demonstrated effective leadership and initiative to keep Maple Valley moving forward in the right direction. Noel’s mission as an elected official is simple, helping our families. One of his highest priorities is public safety. Keeping our neighborhoods safe and keeping drugs and gangs out of our city and away from our families is critical to Noel. His commitment to our public safety has earned him the endorsements of our police and firefighters. More parks and recreation are needed in Maple Valley. Noel enthusiastically supports the building of Summit Park ball fields and is interested in continuing our conversations with the YMCA for a potential site in Maple Valley. Economic development and growing the city is critical to our future. Noel is pro-business and wants desirable businesses to locate here. The new Fred Meyer and TRM center is an important

Very Good,� the report said. “These changes provide a snapshot of consumers’ increased dietary realism and, perhaps, receptiveness to dietary guidance, and they also suggest the possibility that a changed information environment has affected consumers’ perception.� The comparison of the two surveys clearly shows that a significantly higher percentage of people who were asked to rate the quality of their diets grew more pessimistic over time. 8.6 percent (down from 13.2) were inclined to call their diet excellent and 23.3 percent (down from 27.8) thought it was very good.

cans are responding to the stepped-up educational efforts by the government and advocacy groups to improve the nutritional health of the public. For this purpose, researchers compared data from two surveys that were conducted between 1989 to 1991 and 2005 to 2008. “Although the actual healthfulness of diets has not changed much in the last 15 years, there has been a large and significant decrease in the percentage of Americans who rate their diets as Excellent or
COMMENTARY
During the past 20 years, Americans have become increasingly aware that their diet plays a significant role for their health. They also have become more disillusioned about the nutritional quality of the foods they are actually eating. Despite of these changes in awareness, most people’s eating habits have largely remained unchanged and the obesity crisis has worsened. These are the findings of a study report issued by the Economic Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The objective of the study was to see how Ameri-
ing habits as good stayed roughly the same – 40.7 percent (up from 39.3). The researchers concede that an “optimistic bias� about their diet still prevails among Americans. While nutrition experts have learned a great deal about the nutritional quality (or lack thereof) of the typical American diet, most consumers’ perception remains inaccurate. Our diets continue to be too high in calories, fats (especially saturated fats), sodium and added sugar. They are also too low in fiber, whole grains, fresh vegetables and important micronutrients, according to the report. The reason is not that people willfully ignore the dietary advice they’re given. They just misjudge their own actions. Still, the overall rise in
awareness is encouraging. Especially overweight people seem to realize more that their eating habits wreak havoc on their health. Among overweight people, the percentage of those who rated their diets as excellent or very good declined by 12 points since the first survey. The researchers also looked at other data connected with diet. For example, they found a significant relationship between household income and diet quality perception. Those who believed their diets to be Excellent or Very Good were on average financially better off than those who considered their diets as Poor. The dramatic rise of food prices in recent years has certainly contributed to this discrepancy,

although to what degree has not become altogether clear in this study. Lack of access to healthy food resources in some rural areas and low-income inner-city neighborhoods seems to be a remarkably insignificant factor. The socalled food deserts, where travel time to a supermarket or grocery store exceeds 15 minutes, did not affect diet choices as much as previously thought. More important was the fact that consumers eat most of their meals away from home. Home cooking and eating together as a family are rapidly becoming a thing of the past. Again, the percentage of people recognizing these trends as a potential problem is increasing, but there is little effort or even knowledge how to make the necessary changes to reverse them. Remarkably, those who rate their eating habits as poor spend on average a larger fraction of their food budget on restaurant food than those who say they have healthier diets. Clearly, this report does not unveil any great secrets. Most of its observations are not surprising. Still, one can take comfort in the thought that the information given to the public seems to register, even if that does not (yet) lead to decisive action. We can only hope there will be a tipping point in the not so distant future.

Black Diamond candidates discuss range of topics BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@covingtonreporter.com
Public safety, budget cuts and development were among the topics discussed at the Black Diamond City Council forum Oct. 13. The forum was at the Black Diamond Community Center and was hosted by The Greater Maple Valley Black Diamond Chamber of Commerce. The forum was moderated by Gary Habenicht. The forum began with an introduction by each candidate, followed by a lightning round of questions in which both the audience and the candidates answered simultaneously. The audience and the candidates seemed to share similar sentiments on most issues. For example, when asked if Black Diamond supported existing businesses, both answered no. They also said yes when asked if future growth was inevitable, if there was a future of mining in Black Diamond, and if they supported master planned developments. Then there was a round of randomly drawn questions, which was asked of both candidates vying for the same position. Incumbent Leih Mulvihill, who currently holds Position No. 5, and her challenger, Ron Taylor, were asked what they thought was the biggest issue facing Black Diamond. Mulvihill noted the lack of revenue, “really put small towns like Black Diamond in a bind,� she said. “It becomes a real struggle. Black Diamond has come to rely on a lot of cuts just to keep the doors open. By watching our budget very, very closely and keeping it balanced and cutting out the fluff and
concentrating on the basic services, Black Diamond will be able to stay balanced for the coming years.â€? Taylor felt legal issues facing Black Diamond are a top priority. “Regardless of the courts‌ I think that’s going to be the biggest drain on resources,â€? he said. “The way we’re going to have to face it is to be very careful and get a lot of good legal counsel and legal advice on that. I don’t see that issue going away or one that’s easy to navigate.â€? During the candidate-tocandidate question round, Pam McCain, who is running for Position No. 3, asked her opponent Joe May about his stance on growth and development in the city. “You have been extremely involved in the opposition to growth and change,â€? she said. “If elected, how would you be able to bring yourself around to a way of thinking that would be cohesive for the City Council?â€? May stated the negativity in the city had polarized residents. “I’ve spent about three years of time and effort trying to learn what I could about how it would affect us,â€? May replied. “Cohesiveness‌that’s a tough question — when you have so much division in the city, and as I’m out talking to folks, it is very interesting. It mirrors what you have nationally. You hear, ‘She’s an idiot,’ or ‘He’s a “that.â€?’ It makes me crazy, because‌we don’t have that much time. We have to work together as people.â€? May then asked McCain about how she would support Black Diamond schools, which are in the Enumclaw School District, when she lives in the Kent School District. “I do believe that growth
Helping you heal... every step of the way
will pay for more schools and that the kids in Black Diamond do deserve to be fought for,â€? she answered. “I’ve paid for schools that my children have never attended, and I believe that is the same theory that we’re going to move forward.â€? Incumbent Kristine Hanson, who currently holds Position No. 1, asked her challenger, Tamie L. BoxxDeady, what she thought of the Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) program. “I have looked into this,â€? Deady said. “If I was elected to city council, the TDR (program) is not my sole decision to make. It’s not that I am for or against it. The people who (own) them will be able to come to council and voice their opinions about it. A council must listen to those voices (on) what should be done. If the majority are for the TDRs, then I would have to listen to the citizens.â€? Deady then asked Hanson about alleged statements she had made on Facebook pertaining to feedback she had received from citizens at City Council meetings. “(On Facebook) you were begging for friends to come and support you at the City Council meetings,â€? Deady said. Hanson replied she was attempting to bring in more civic participation. “Sitting on the council, people can say whatever they want to and you have to take it,â€? she said “We do listen, but as I stated before, there are codes and laws we have to abide by. It’s very difficult‌when you know there’s people out there who are supportive of change

and are positive, but they trust their council members. They are OK with that. So they just would rather not be around the negativity. It’s hard, because I do want people to come and share their thoughts, but people don’t want to because it’s so negative.�

Editor’s Note The Reporter was initially a co-sponsor of the debate with The Greater Maple Valley-Black Diamond Chamber of Commerce. As the editor I had to remove the paper from sponsorship or endorsement once I found the questions were sent to the candidates days before the debate allowing them to prepare answers. The questions were also forwarded to others in the city, and YarrowBay, for comment. I felt this violated an editorial code for a
newspaper and circumvented the fair and spontaneous exchange of ideas. The editorial staff was no longer willing to participate as a sponsor or to endorse the debate in any way other than independently covering it as a news event. This explanation is not a criticism of the chamber or the executive director. It is a difference of approach to a political event. The chamber provided a valuable service by presenting the forum for the public.

Using hedge to create greater privacy for your property ground now will have a better start in the spring and more top growth by mid-summer. This makes autumn a good time of year to soften the edges with hedges. As new homes offer smaller
yards and privacy becomes an issue in some neighborhoods, questions about screening and hedging have been popping up like October mushrooms in the lawn. (It’s best to just ignore the mushrooms; they’ll
go away.) Q. I need an evergreen hedge that will grow tall but not too wide. Also, the area only gets a half-day of sun. What do you think of English laurel?

A. Not much. English laurel not only grows into a high-maintenance monster but a cold winter can kill it back almost to the ground. A better choice would be the pyramidalis arborvitae or upright yew plants, as both do well in the shade. If you have deer, grow with the deer proof yew. Add some color to the evergreen foliage by planting a purple clematis on the north or shaded side of your hedge and let this flowering vine embroider the evergreens with summer flowers. Purple clematis like Jackmanii and Polish Spirit are the hardiest of the flowering clematis. Q. I have tried growing a boxwood hedge around my garden beds but some of the boxwood plants always seem to turn yellow and die. What do you suggest for a low, evergreen hedge instead of boxwood? I should note my husband likes to trim things. A. In our climate boxwood can suffer from leaf blights, root rots and also has the distinctive smell of cat urine. A much less expensive alternative is to plant the low-growing or creeping evergreen euonymus fortunei and just keep it trimmed into a low hedge with a string trimmer. Emerald Gold and Emerald Gaiety euonymus not only do well in our climate but spread out quickly so you need only a few plants spaced several feet apart to create a solid, evergreen hedge in just one or two years. Another option for a taller hedge is to use Japanese holly (Ilex crenata) which looks just like boxwood but with a darker green color and more robust growth. You can even get dwarf Japanese holly plants for smaller gardens. You can shear all of these evergreens several times a year or let them grow into more natural hedge shapes. Q. I want instant screening from the neighbor’s patio but our tiny back yard has no room for a wide hedge. What plant grows tall very fast but needs a bed only a foot wide? A. Better go with a “fedge� or combination fence and hedge. A few panels of fencing will give you instant gratification and a tall and narrow juniper or cypress plant on either side of the fence panels will make your screening appear more friendly. Just look for evergreens that say “columnaris� if you want a naturally columnar form that won’t require any pruning. You can also dress up your fence panels with a dwarf clematis or annual vines like black-eyed Susan, rochochiten or even sweet peas. Do not make the mistake of planting wisteria, ivy or a fastgrowing clematis like clematis Montana on your fence in your small yard. The growing enthusiasm of these fast vines need large estates or gigantic dead trees to cover.

October 2011
Welcome to our first edition of “On Scene� Along with the Board of Fire Commissioners, the staff at Maple Valley Fire and Life Safety and I are committed to the goal of transparency, both internally and with you, our external customers. Beginning with this issue we will be updating you on what is happening at your Fire Department three times a year. I’ve had the pleasure of serving our great Community for more than 31 years with the last two as your Fire Chief. As you can imagine, I’ve seen this community and Fire Department grow and change through both the good and the financially challenging times. During my short tenure as Fire Chief, the biggest challenge has been maintaining the level of services our residents have come to expect, while at the same Brad Doerflinger time providing a safe environment for our employees. As we are all aware, the recession and slow recovery has deteriorated property values and associated tax revenues that fund public services. We are no different, 91% of our revenue is from property taxes. I’m often asked how we are doing financially and if our Department will be facing additional layoffs and subsequent fire station closures. The simple answer is, “No.� Before making significant cuts to services, such as staffing levels and the ensuing browning out (temporary closure) of fire stations, I would recommend to the Board of Fire Commissioners to put a funding alternative on the ballot. I strongly believe and it would be my recommendation, that the citizens have a direct say in maintaining and/or decreasing the level of services that we provide. Hard times are forcing difficult decisions on local governments and again, we are no different. During years that assessed valuation (property values) increases, the Fire Department can plan on a 1% annual increase in revenues. Now with assessed valuation declining, we are left to anxiously wait until we get our numbers from the Assessor’s Office in September of each year to determine how much revenue we are going to lose. For every 1% of assessed valuation drop, we realize an approximate $70,000 decline in revenues. Preliminary numbers from the Assessor’s Office for 2012 shows a decrease in assessed valuation of properties within our boundaries of 6.12%, or a reduction from 2011 revenues of $363,000. Over the past three years the Board of Commissioners and staff members of Maple Valley Fire and Life Safety have taken aggressive measures to reduce expenditures. Line item budgets have been lowered; training, travel, overtime and other discretionary costs have been restricted or eliminated. Since 2009 seven positions, nearly 12%, within our organization have become vacant. None of these positions have been filled; duties and responsibilities have been reassigned to current staff. Since 2009 our assessed valuation has decreased an average of 7.8% annually resulting in $527,000 less property tax revenues in 2012 compared to 2009. This decrease represents 7% of our 2012 budget. However, with the efforts of the Board and staff in reducing expenditures, leaving positions vacant and absorbing the work load, we have decreased our annual expenses by approximately $688,000. These efforts have not been painless and have forced us to prioritize and limit our programs internally. Fortunately, I can report that even with the anticipated decease in property tax revenues for 2012, I expect no reductions in emergency services for 2012. On the November 8th ballot you will have the opportunity to help determine who will make up our Board of Fire Commissioners. Two positions are up for consideration, so please take the time to vote. From all of us at Maple Valley Fire & Life Safety, we appreciate your continued support and the opportunity to serve you!

Together with the Firefighters’ Union, we have ensured that our employees are fairly compensated with good benefits, while costs are controlled. We review the District’s short-term and long-term needs, are fully accountable to the public, and are committed to open disclosure of District operations. During the past three years the Board of Commissioners has had to make very difficult choices which include the elimination of three administrative positions and leaving four Firefighter positions unfilled. We have teamed up with neighboring fire districts to share resources and save money, and passed the most recent Washington State audit with NO errors! Our most valuable resource is people: the people who work for the District and the citizens we proudly serve.
service responses and activities such as fire prevention and public education. We utilize a tiered response system, meaning more than one level of emergency response is provided. The tiered response system for EMS has been proven to be the best prehospital treatment available, and King County’s system is one of Matt Cowan the best in the country. It begins with the BLS (basic life support) level provided by the fire department and ALS (advanced life support) provided by King County Medic One, and concludes with an appropriate transport to regional hospitals. All of our fire engines are equipped with the necessary equipment needed to address all types of emergency incidents, including EMS calls. This provides our Department with the ability to handle back-to-back calls and allows the closest emergency personnel available to respond. For example, if an EMS call is dispatched and the closest station only has a
fire engine available, it will respond. At the same time the closest aid car will also respond for transport and if ALS services are indicated then the nearest Medic unit will also be dispatched. This sometimes results in more than a single unit responding. While it may appear to be too many resources being allocated, it is the best way to ensure that we minimize the time it takes to get personnel and equipment to the scene and initiate care. This is the tiered response system. The preservation of life and property remains our highest priority. We continue to provide quality, cost effective emergency services through the efforts, dedication and commitment of our personnel and the support of our community. We strive to continually keep the public informed through both newspaper print and our website at www.maplevalleyfire.org. In future articles we will discuss in greater depth the types of incidents we respond to and the role of our Training Division. Thank you! Matt Cowan Deputy Chief of Operations

CONQUERING CHANGE ON THE COURT
With new coaches and a tweaked roster, Kentwood has found its groove, and put together an undefeated campaign with two league games left BY KRIS HILL
khill@covingtonreporter.com
Anyone who counted out Kentwood at the start of the volleyball season in September may be surprised to see it at the top of the division standings. Sure, longtime coach Bil Caillier left the Kentwood volleyball program and Erin Campbell, an anchor for the team’s offensive attack graduated. While much changed in the offseason for the Conquerors away from the court, some things stayed the same, and this fall they have put together an undefeated record with two games left in South Puget Sound League North play. Cindy Seims, mother of senior setter Kacie Seims, took over coaching duties along with Cathy Stansell. “It was an easy transition,� said senior libero Tess Manthou. “We had a lot of leadership on the team... so that kept the team together.� And having Cindy Seims around, someone her daughter’s senior classmates have known for years through club ball, wasn’t anything new at all, Manthou said. It is a different dynamic, Kacie Seims said, “she’s my mom.� “I feel even more connected to the team because I’m blood related to the
coach,� she said. Senior outside hitter Mikaela Ballou, knew there were some outside the Kentwood program who thought that with the departure of Caillier — who led the Conks to state seven years straight — and of Campbell, Kentwood may not be as good as it has in the past. Seems like things have worked out, though. “Our team, we don’t just depend on one hitter,� Ballou said. “We’re confident no matter who we set the ball to, we’re going to get a kill.� Kacie Seims has distributed her passes to not just Ballou, but sophomores Lauren Hackett and Sarah Toeaina, as well as Mele Halahuni. Manthou said Kentwood has been challenged by Bellarmine Prep and Auburn Riverside, which took the Conks to five games on Oct. 12, but the team has been able to cope thus far. The biggest thing the Conks have had to work through, Manthou noted, is “probably just staying focused, staying engaged because the season is long.� “Our team has done better as far as gut checks,� Kacie Seims said. “That really got us through that Riverside game.� Kentwood setter Kacie Seims puts the ball up as outside hitter Lauren Hackett [ more CHANGE page 21] waits for the pass during a match Oct.12.

Talent abounds on the cross country trails sub-district meet.
Tahoma has its eyes on titles while Kentwood’s Danny Lunder wants to shave 10 seconds off his best time
K
entwood’s Danny Lunder wants to break the 16 minute mark this weekend at the South Puget Sound League subdistrict meet. All he has to do is shave about 10 seconds off his personal best. Lunder is one of a number of cross country runners to watch from the Tahoma and Kent School Districts including both of the Bears’ squads as well as Alexia Martin and Ruby Virk from Kent-Meridian.
UNDER 16 MINUTES Senior Danny Lunder, who placed 40th at last year’s state championship, is hoping to finish much higher this year. “I can’t feel anything but good about him,� said Head Coach Ken Paul. “He doesn’t groan, he doesn’t complain. He’ll do anything you ask him to. Because of his abilities, he can get ready in a week. He’s going to have a good season, I think.� During the season, Lunder came in at first place in three out of four meets. He also finished seventh at the Tomahawk Twilight Invitational in Marysville on Oct. 1. “He’s having a heck of a season,� said Assistant Coach Steve Roach. “We
need more of him.� As for Lunder, he stated he felt prepared for this year’s sub-district. “I feel pretty good,� he said. “I feel more confident than I have in the past. I’ve been doing well so far.� Lunder stated he is seeking to break the 16 minute barrier. Currently his season best is 16 minutes, 10 seconds. “It’s his time,� said Assistant Coach Kara Thorton. As a team, the boys are hoping to place well at the sub-district, despite losing three of its top runners from last year. The Conquerors have a solid base of runners such as juniors Dasan Telford, Eli McMeen and Galen Kornowske. “I don’t pick a varsity team,� Paul said. “They do. And we have a new varsity team each week. It’s exciting for them.� Paul said he regards the league season as a “merely formality� compared to the
On Kent-Meridian’s girls team, senior Alexia Martin has taken first place at three of the four season meets this year, the most recent at the Oct. 12 race against Kentwood and Thomas Jefferson. “I feel I did great,� she said. With a season personal record of 19:10, Martin stated so far for her this year has been somewhat relaxed. “I don’t feel like I’ve had a lot of competition,� she said. Even then, she said she has been training carefully for the sub-district meet. “I feel really good about it,� she said. “I’m not pushing it too much, so during the league (meet) my legs are not going to be tired.� Martin is also pleased with her performance due to the fact that she sprained her ankle during the track season in the spring, which impacted her running for nearly a month. “I still did awesome, but it wasn’t completely there,�
Kentwood senior Danny Lunder (second from left) runs ahead of Kent Meridian’s Teddy Teklu (far left) and Stewart Kunzleman, center, and fellow Kentwood runner Dasan Telford. TJ MARTINELL, The Reporter she said. “She’s the go-to girl,� said Head Coach Ernie Ammons. “She’s got the maturity to go out there and take ownership of what she’s doing.� Nipping at her heels, however, is sophomore Ruby Virk, whose season PR is 19:16, a six second difference from Martin’s.
Ammons stated he expects both Martin and Virk to finish in the top five at sub-district. “It’s very exciting, con-
sidering where they’ve (the girls’ team) gone in the last five years,� he said.

The donation of blood saves lives, but it’s not the only way to save a life. Some patients with life-threatening illnesses like leukemia or lymphoma need a different donation—they are waiting for bone marrow transplantation to save their lives. Sometimes a family member genetically matches the patient close enough to donate, but it’s estimated that 70% do not, which is why donations from friends or even strangers are so very important. Bone marrow is similar to blood, and it’s made up of important ingredients such as stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Marrow is collected through a hollow needle inserted in to the hip bone. The surgical procedure lasts approximately two hours. (Consider registering as a bone marrow donor. Discomfort is minimal, and you could save a life.) A bone marrow transplant is usually done in a hospital or medical center that specializes in such treatment. Most of the time, you will stay in a special bone marrow transplant unit in the center to limit your chance of getting an infection. How long you stay in the hospital depends on how much chemotherapy or radiation you received, the type of transplant, and your medical center’s procedures. For an appointment with Southlake Clinic, please call (253) 395-1972. We are a multi-specialty medical group with a clinic at 27005 168th Place SE in Covington. We are also open on Saturdays. 535046

doing really well,� said Head Coach Gary Conner. “They have more talent, more miles than last year.� The girls’ team has benefited from underclassmen such as freshmen Delaney Tiernan and Abby Atchison, both of whom broke their season personal records at the Oct. 12 meet against Auburn Riverside and Kentlake, running a 19:26 and 19:29 respectively. Much of their improvement, Conner stated, was due to an adjustment in the training schedule. By beginning their two-a-day practices a week earlier in the summer, he believes that they will reach their peak at the sub-district meet, rather
than earlier in the season, a problem which plagues a lot of teams. It’s a plan which has proven popular with the runners. The girls credited Conner’s intense workouts for much of their individual and team success. “It’s definitely work ethic and the coaches taking the time to get us ready,� said junior Bridget Wulfing. “We get a lot of encouragement.� Conner used this strategy to explain why the girls lost their Oct. 5 meet against Thomas Jefferson.

stepped it up a notch, getting back to back sacks to force the punt. Manio scored the final touchdown for the Conks, running it from the 11, making it 41-13 with 4:48 left in the game. Hubbard racked up 133 yards on 22 carries to go along with his two touchdowns while Chance Kalua-Fuimaono carried the ball 13 times for 116 yards. Retz had three catches for 66 yards and a touchdown. Kentwood tallied 573 yards of total offense in the game. Devin Taylor had six tackles as well as a sack for a loss of 11 yards while Matt Herrick had seven tackles and Thach had nine. With the win, the Conks improved to 4-2 in league play, the same mark Tahoma and Kentridge stand at, as well. Five teams from the North will make the playoffs.

Conner said he has high hopes for Oosterhout at state. “If she doesn’t get nervous she could win (the state championship),� he said. Conner has equal confidence in the boys varsity team with a perfect season record to support it. “There’s nobody who practices better than the boys,� he said. “It’s been a good year this season.� As with the girls, Conner employed training methods to help the team work cohesively as a single unit. For example, for certain workouts if the entire team did not run under a specified time, all of them were forced to run it again. This training strategy seems to have worked well. The top five runners all have season PRs under 17 minutes, the top 10 below 18 minutes. “We’ve got a good base there,� Conner said. “It’s a lifestyle. To be good, that’s what it needs to take. They’ve got trust each other. They’ve got to trust the system.� The boys are also benefiting from late season PRs by runners such as juniors James Dagley and Jacob Larsen, who ran a 16:16 and 16:40 respectively, at the Oct. 12 meet against Tahoma and Auburn Riverside. Sophomore Riley Campell also ran a season PR with a 16:19. “If I can get all of my guys healthy, we will be on that podium,� Conner said. “You can run good for eight weeks, but this is when the kids start to break down.� Dagley said, “It’s time to reclaim it (the podium).�

It was clear from the first league match against Tahoma in September Kentwood had learned a lot from the 2010 campaign in which it finished 7-1 in league and slid into the state tournament after struggling to effectively execute offensively on a consistent basis. Ballou has been on the money this season. For example,
in the match against Riverside, she led the Conks with 20 kills. That sharp mental focus, the ability to execute, that didn’t just happen, Manthou said. “It came from individuals who took it upon themselves to improve,� she said. How far the Conks will go this season isn’t clear to Kacie Seims, but, there’s nowhere to go but up from last year’s eighth place finish at the 4A state tournament. “We want to fulfill our full potential,� she said. “It’s hard to say, ‘We want to win state, we want to take fourth place,’ because there are so many factors that go into it.� In the end, it’s about making the most of opportunities, Ballou said. “As long as we leave it out on the court then we can leave with no regrets,� she said.

Kentlake holds off Auburn in close contest Falcons are 7-0 with two games left to play after victory over the Trojans and clinch the SPSL North crown BY KRIS HILL khill@covingtonreporter.com
Kentlake ended a grueling four-game stretch to clinch the South Puget Sound League North Division with a 10-7 victory over Auburn Oct. 13 at French Field. It didn’t start off well for the Falcons when linebacker Seth Mizoguchi snagged a wayward lateral pass and ran it back 63 yards for a Trojans touchdown with 2:47 left in the first quarter to put Auburn up 7-0. But, that was all the scoring Auburn could muster. Kentlake came out flat and head coach Chris Paulson explained that his players had been through three straight emotional games and the performance “was kind of a hangover.� “We were lucky to get
a win the way we played,� Paulson said. The Falcons scored their lone touchdown with 4:38 left in the first half when Caleb Saulo, who was taking his first snaps at quarterback in three weeks, punched it in from the 2 yard line knotting it up at 7-7. From there both teams struggled to put together a drive, though Mitchell Habryle put Kentlake ahead on a 28-yard field goal with 5:53 left in the game. The scoring drive was set up after Tanner Lucas intercepted Auburn quarterback Brier Atkinson late in the third quarter. With the victory, Kentlake moved to 7-0, showing the team learned some big lessons after starting out 5-0 a year ago before dropping back to back games to
Kentwood and Auburn. Despite ensuring a new football banner in the Kentlake gym, the mood of the team was clearly subdued, especially by contrast to the previous week when students rushed the field after a gritty 17-16 victory over rival Kentwood — which went undefeated in league a year ago to win the North. “Our kids understand we have a lot to clean up,� Paulson said. “The good thing is that everything that happened tonight is fixable. It says a lot about how mature this group is that we won a league title tonight and no one is happy.� Kentlake played a nonconference game against SPSL South opponent Emerald Ridge (2-5) on Thursday at French Field.

Tahoma in the playoff hunt with big win over Ravens Victory sets up decisive matchup with Kentridge on Friday at Maxwell Stadium with both teams in three-way tie for second place BY DENNIS BOX dbox@maplevalleyreporter.com
Tahoma did what it needed to do Oct. 15‚ beat Auburn Riverside convincingly and stay right in the middle of the playoff hunt. The Bears traveled to Auburn Memorial Stadium to take on the Ravens. Tahoma came home with a 42-19 win and a three-way tie for second in the South
Puget Sound League 4A North. The victory sets up a big game Friday at home when Tahoma hosts Kentridge at 7 p.m. Both teams have 4-2 records. Against the Ravens, the Bears started the opening quarter with a couple of field goals. Coach Tony Davis said by email in the second quarter, “Denham Patricelli’s interception and return for a touchdown was big for us.�
The score took the Bears into the locker room with a 13-6 lead at the half. Davis said the team came together and played a solid game in the second half, which was reflected in the score. Tahoma scored 15 in the third to the Ravens six and 14 in the fourth to Auburn Riveside with seven. Scoring for Tahoma in the second half was Zach Browne on a 63-yard pass play from Shane Nelson. Beau Riggs punched it
in on a 2-yard run. Patricelli crossed into the end zone twice in the second half, first on a 41-yard pass play from Nelson and then on a 33-yard dart from the sophomore quarterback. Tahoma will be looking to contain standout Kentridge receiver Caleb Smith, who has committed to Oregon State. Kentridge will be searching for an answer to the Tahoma throwing-receiveing duo of Nelson and Patricelli.

of treatment plant; that’s going to be passed onto the taxpayers. Developers, they have to pick up their part of the tab, too. But they did secure future water for the next 50 years. There was a cost to that. I think that as a commissioner, and I’m sure the commissioners that are currently serving have done everything in their power to prevent this, but there’s some of this that’s just unpreventable. People don’t want to pay the price that has to be done to hook into the system.� “This goes back to the question of why are we in a position of having to pay the city of Tacoma a substantial amount of money to supply us with water,� said DeLaat, who currently holds Position No. 1. “The Washington State Department of Ecology said you cannot put in water wells until you study the impact on the roads. How does one show that installation of a ground water well doesn’t impact the street flow?... Essentially, we said we can’t. So we went to other sources of water.� Debbie Straus and Leslie Kae Hamada, who are running for Kent School District Board position number 3, were asked for their opinion on a recent comment made by Kent School District Superintendent Edward Lee Vargas, in which he spoke in opposition to Gov. Christine Gregroire’s proposed plan to cut spending on public school districts by 10 percent. “I think it’s a bigger issue,� said Hamada. “I want to take this position to a higher level. I want to have a presence in Olympia. I know it has been started. It all begins with the funding out of Olympia.� “His (Vargas) reasoning behind it was because it would make a statement, because education is not the place to make cuts,� said Straus. “I’m proud of the school district’s fiscal responsibility.�
