A DIVISION OF SOUND PUBLISHING

Court reverses growth board decision

BY DENNIS BOX dbox@kentreporter.com

The State Court of Appeals sent out a decision Tuesday reversing a ruling from the Central Puget Sound Growth Management Hearings concerning the two YarrowBay master planned developments, The Villages and Lawson Hills.

The court ruled the board did not have jurisdiction in the case involving the two ordinances used to approve the master planned developments.

The board had ruled Feb. 15 the city should have used a legislative rather than quasi-judicial process when approving the master planned development ordinances. The

board sent the ordinances back to the city for compliance with Growth Management Act. The citizen group Toward Responsible Development had challenged the ordinances approving the developments in superior court and to the board.

The board ruling was appealed by YarrowBay and sent to superior court, but, the parties agreed to a direct review by the state Court of Appeals bypassing the lower court.

The appeals court agreed to hear the case and the attorneys for the parties presented their arguments on Nov. 1.

The opening paragraph of the Dec. 27 Court of Appeals ruling stated, “The Central Puget Sound Growth Management Hearings Board lacked jurisdiction to review the

2010 ordinances enacted by the City of Black Diamond approving the master plan development permits for Yarrow Bay. We reverse.�

The issue addressed directly by the appeals court centers on whether the ordinances were project permits or amendments to the city’s comprehensive plan or development regulations, which is under the jurisdiction of the board.

The court ruled the ordinances were project permits stating in the document, “We hold the 2010 MPD ordinances adopted by Black Diamond were project permit approvals. The Board lacked jurisdiction to review these permits.� [ more REVERSES page 11 ]

It has been a busy year here at the Covington-Maple ValleyBlack Diamond Reporter.

There have been plenty of stories to keep the editorial staff on its toes ranging from uplifting to puzzling to triumphant to distressing.

Here we recap the 10 biggest stories of the year at the Reporter with the list coming in no particular order.

Before he was even sworn into the office, soon-to-be council member Sean Kelly already learned a vital lesson about politics. “It’s hard to please everybody,� he said. “You do the best you can and make sound decisions that people can discuss.�

After his swearing in Sean Kelly at the Dec. 5 Maple Valley City Council meeting, Kelly is prepared to start working on the three main issues he emphasized during his campaign such as traffic improvement, public safety and parks.

In the meantime, however, he is also trying to help break the stand still on other city projects.

WALKING THEIR WAY TO A CURE With close to 150 walkers, the Valley Girls and Guys 3-Day team, led by Ravensdale resident and business owner Tina McDonough, the Valley Girls and Guys raised more than $300,000 by the end of the 3 Day walk in late September. Not only was the team the biggest in the state, it raised the most money, not just here but in the entire country. [ more YEAR page 5 ]

Tina and Cory McDonough’s third annual Friends of Vine Maple Place benefit last weekend was a success.

Tina McDonough sent out an email on Dec. 18 to celebrate the event, which raised $3,620 in cash gifts as well as generated $1,170 in gift card donations. In addition, participants brought hundreds of pounds of items that were donated to Maple Valley Food Bank and Emergency Services.

Vine Maple Place, where Tina McDonough has volunteered for more than six years, is a Christian non-profit supported by a number of local churches.

It was founded in 2000 by Ron and Colleen Starr.

It was another successful food drive at Kentlake High this year, where students were able to collect 4,500 cans of food.

The collection, explained leadership adviser Rick Chance, exceeded expectations.

With a goal of 4,000 cans, the food drive brought in

limited donations during the initial weeks of collection, according to junior Neil Smith. “It started out fairly slow,�

Chance said. “I was a little worried.�

As the weeks went on, however, donations started to pick up, thanks to the school bracket system, which was created in 2008 by former Kentwood ASB president Kevin Massimino.

brought in other nonperishable items. “One of my leadership kids brought in a hundred things of tooth brushes,� he said. “Which is great, because that’s what the places were asking for.�

Next year, Linderman said, they hope to raise 5,000 cans.

I think a lot of teenagers like us because we’re not just for teenagers, we’re for adults, too, we’re for everyone.

In addition, Young stated, there seems to be a great culture in Redmond. “One of the other things I’ve noticed since we started doing this in Redmond is that the business owners are really nice,� she said. “They’re really supportive.�

Young and Anderson will split time between the two locations, with the one in Redmond set to open Feb. 1, with interns picking up some of the work in Maple Valley.

[4] December 30, 2011 [ COUNCIL from page 1] He, along with the rest of the City Council, plan to go to Olympia Jan. 24-26 for training. It will also provide them with the opportunity to meet with state representatives and senators.

Kelly said he intends to bring several issues to their attention, such as the Maple Valley Highway. “We need to widen it,� he said. “We’ve got to work on that.�

In November, Kelly defeated Bill Woodcock

for the City Council seat vacated by Dana Parnello, a race he described as “timeconsuming� and “informative.�

With the exception of moving to Black Diamond briefly, Kelly has lived in Maple Valley his whole life.

A 1993 graduate of Tahoma High, he currently works for the Tahoma School District.

But during the campaign, he said, was when he began to learn what the community’s real concerns were. “When I was door

XXX DPWJOHUPOSFQPSUFS DPN t XXX NBQMFWBMMFZSFQPSUFS DPN belling, traffic was one of peoples’ major concerns, as well as public safety and the Donut Hole,� he said.

Kelly said it was among the first topics he discussed with individuals after being elected and he has already met with people to try and find solutions. Whatever the end result for the 156acre property owned by King County, he stated, the City Council will have to act sooner rather than later. “My biggest thing is we’ve got to get that Donut Hole thing going,� he said. “We’ve

got to be a partner in it. We have no say in it right now.

That will be important over the next two years.�

The City Council has also faced controversy with the business zoning of what is known as the northwest quadrant in the Four Corners subarea plan which is intended to provide a blueprint for future development, particularly economic development, for that portion of the city.

Kelly says he has already begun to meet with people, including a representative of the businesses there. “I’m learning a lot about the history of the northwest quadrant,� he said.

Kelly believes it is vital for an agreement to be made so the subarea plan can move forward and projects planned for it can get off the ground. “I’m not a table-it-later type of person,� he said. “We need to make decisions. As long as we have all of our information and facts together we need to make a decision. One thing I’ve learned is how slow things can be. We need to get moving right away.�

At the same time, he said,

it is also critical for both sides to be heard and have their opinions considered. “I’m really good at going outside and listening to people’s opinions,� he said. “I start meeting with them and ask them what their input is, what their history is, because they have a lot of history, and I’ve learned a lot from their history and why they don’t want things to change. I listen to their side and then I present what I envision.�

What Kelly envisions is his hometown becoming like Snoqualmie, which also had recent development, except without the conflict and division.

Kelly doesn’t believe the city won’t be divided by development because, “We have a plan for the future. Our road system, our schools, and our public safety is going to be part of that.�

Aside from roads and business zoning, Kelly said he intends to push for more youth involvement in the community, which is hindered by the lack of ball fields.

While he hopes for the Summit Park and Ballfields

to be built within the next 10 years, he said, the dearth of fields is already having an effect. “There’s no fields for our kids,� he said. “We’re running out of fields. Parents are driving their kids miles out of the city to play ball,� he said.

For public safety, Kelly stated his support of hiring new police and fire personnel, which he believes is understaffed. Maple Valley Fire and Life Safety is a King County Fire District, so, the city does not provide funding for it because it is a special taxing district.

The city’s police department is one of a dozen or so contracts with the King County Sheriff ’s Office, which the city does provide funding to pay for officers and equipment.

He admitted, however, beefing up the city’s police department would be expensive, and he would not vote for any new taxes or tax increases unless the voters approved it first.

XXX DPWJOHUPOSFQPSUFS DPN t XXX NBQMFWBMMFZSFQPSUFS DPN [ YEAR from page 1] “When we started Valley Girls originally walking in memory of Michelle, it took a lot of work to get sponsors,� McDonough told the Reporter in September. “Now I can put something on Facebook, we get sponsors like that. It’s a no brainer. People want to be part of that, not just because they’re getting the advertising, I truly believe with all my heart they want to give back, they want to do something for the greater good.�

McDonough began this journey a few years ago with a small team of four walkers, including herself, after a close friend died following a battle with breast cancer. She has made it her personal mission to raise money to find a cure for breast cancer. Valley Girls and Guys has become a year-round, nearly full-time job for the mom of three, but it has also been transformative for her as well as empowering. And for the community, in fact anyone McDonough meets, she is an inspiration.

While there is a two-fold sense of accomplishment for this team in raising money and completing the 60 mile walk, McDonough said, there is something else they get from the experience. “I know every single person on this team now and I consider them lifetime friends,� she said. “I think everybody on this team has gained the most amazing friendships out of it. I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.�

ELECTIONS CHANGE CITY COUNCIL DYNAMICS In Maple Valley a new face

will join the City Council while Black Diamond’s governing body will go through a more significant change as two new members join the fivemember council.

Sean P. Kelly (see story page 1) beat Bill Woodcock in November for an open seat that had previously been occupied by Dana Parnello, who was serving out the term of Laure Iddings, who resigned at the end of 2009 after serving for 12 years as the young city’s only mayor.

Kelly is new to politics but not new to the city. He grew up in Maple Valley and graduated from Tahoma High in 1993. He currently works for the Tahoma School District.

The two incumbents in the Black Diamond City Council races were on the losing side of the numbers by landslide margins when the first round of election results came in the evening of Nov. 8.

Tamie L. Boxx-Deady was leading incumbent Kristine Hanson by nearly 47 percent and Ron Taylor was ahead of Leih Mulvihill by about 58 percent.

Joe May came out with a similar margin over Pam McCain. May was ahead by about 55 percent.

Those results were received as a message from the community concerning the way things were going with Kirkland-based developer YarrowBay’s proposed master planned developments of The Villages and Lawson Hills.

If the projects move forward as currently envisioned in the city of 4,100, it would bring more than 6,000 new residences to the city during the buildout,

which would take more than a decade to complete.

A group of residents, Toward Responsible Development, are fighting the projects in court while the new council members seem to have a decidedly different take on the proposals compared to the outgoing elected officials.

YARROWBAY BACKS OUT OF DONUT HOLE PURCHASE At the time, the Donut Hole had shed that notso-affectionate moniker for something that sounds more like a development in progress, Summit Place.

But, on Feb. 17, YarrowBay walked away from a purchase and sale agreement with King County when Brian Ross, CEO and managing partner of YarrowBay sent a letter stating the company was opting out of buying the 156-acre property.

In late June, King County put out a request for qualifications in a renewed effort to move forward on plans for the site, which is bounded by Kent Kangley Road to the north and Southeast 228th Street to the west, to be developed.

King County and YarrowBay had been negotiating a purchase and sale agreement for more than three years for the property.

The Kirkland developer was planning to build a master planned development with more than 1,600 residences along with retail and commercial.

The county and YarrowBay signed an agreement for $51 million and the developer was to pay closing cost on the property to seal the deal Feb. 20.

Sung Yang, the director of external affairs and

governmental relations for King County Executive Dow Constantine, told the Reporter in July the RFQ process is in fact the best way to find out if there is a developer that will do what Maple Valley is asking for in the Donut Hole. “To satisfy any questions the community and the city might have, I think that we actually have opened our process quite a bit...,�

Yang said. “We brought in the array of potential kinds of applicants, which was a very significant decision we made to support the city of Maple Valley’s desire... in response to their particular request. We’re very committed to working with the city as we proceed on this issue.�

When Maple Valley incorporated as a city in 1997 the Donut Hole — which is home to a 13-acre county roads maintenance facility, nine holes of the Elk Run Golf Course, an active gravel mine and undeveloped land — it was designated rural which would allow for one home per five acres. It was also not included within the new city’s boundaries.

King County has owned the Summit Pit property since 1953 and expanded its use over the years to support road maintenance it does under contracts with Maple Valley, Covington and other cities.

Neighborhoods around the donut hole, some of which were built before the city was incorporated and some after, have between six to eight units per acre.

Covington Family Dentistry

Construction began in June on MultiCare’s freestanding emergency department while crews started clearing trees earlier this month on the site for Valley Medical Center’s emergency room in Covington.

For more than a year, the two hospitals have been planning to expand services in the city of about 18,000, both vying for permission for hospital beds from the state while trying to serve Covington, Maple Valley, and surrounding areas of unincorporated King County that both believe to be underserved.

MultiCare, which is based out of Tacoma, has plans for the emergency department and later for a 58-bed hospital on the site. The goal is to open the emergency room in the spring of 2012. Next on the agenda would be construction of the 58-bed hospital with a planned opening in 2014 or 2015.

Valley Medical Center is also planning to construct an emergency department on a 10-acre site in Covington’s town center behind Safeway and Fred Meyer.

The Department of Health approved MultiCare’s certificate of need request for the hospital in December of 2010.

DONATING BLOOD Almost everybody has seen the signs around their town or at the local hospital that declare the urgent need for blood. Ever wonder just how much a blood donation matters? Consider some startling facts. It is estimated that every two seconds, a person in the United States needs blood. Over 38,000 blood donations are needed daily.

How many people have needed blood in the time it takes to read this article? Donating blood is a safe process that uses clean needles. Receiving donated blood is also safe because all blood donations are carefully screened for disease. Since blood cannot be manufactured, and the donation of blood has been indisputably proven to save lives, all healthy people should consider donating blood.

Following a few recommendations before, during and after your blood donation can help you make your donation experience as safe, successful and pleasant as possible.

toward for years. On Nov. 5, the team got to hoist the 4A state trophy, beating Bellarmine Prep for the crown.

Tahoma coach Gary Conner attributed several factors to the Bears victory.

The girls came into the race all healthy after fighting several illnesses throughout the season. Additionally, they raced strategically in order to determine their competition during the district meet.

But, in the end, he credited every single runner on the team for racing well. “It was a group effort,�

Conner told the Reporter in November. “At that state meet, you just can’t make any mistakes. If you do, you’re a six to 10 (place) team. If any one of those girls didn’t run well, we wouldn’t have won the state meet. It was really all the seven girls.�

Freshman Abby Atchison led the pack for Tahoma, crossing the finish line at eighth with a time of 18 minutes, 40 seconds, a 23-second personal best. “I was really thrilled with how the race turned out,�

Atchison said in November. “I really just felt confident going into the race, and our coaches have been working hard to peak our whole team. It really helped me when the race started. It just really came together.�

� Q U O T E O F N O T E : To be a teacher in the right sense is to be a learner. I am not a teacher, only a fellow student.� Soren Kierkegaard

The ugly parts of this job

Kris Hill Staff writer

OUR CORNER

Cases of sexual abuse and misconduct seem to be everywhere this year.

Nationally the allegations against former Penn State University assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky as well as the accusations against Bernie Fine, a former assistant mens basketball coach at Syracuse University, have caused far-reaching waves in education and athletics.

Locally, we have dealt with two cases in the Kent School District, one which eventually ended in a former Kentlake teacher serving an eight month jail sentence for sexual misconduct with a student while a second case alleging misconduct

by Kent-Meridian teacher (who lives in Black Diamond) is just at the start of the process.

And recently I’ve been hearing rumors swirling about another case I may be reporting on in the near future.

At this point, I am exhausted by covering these kinds of cases, as well as the coverage of them.

Once upon a time when I was a young journalist working at a weekly near Las Vegas, I broke a story about a priest abusing boys in his parish, and initially the thrill of beating the two dailies and all of the local TV stations to the story was a rush.

Then the story came out. I got my first death threat, and the reality of reporting those kinds of stories sunk in.

Plus, I have been through some hell in my life, so it’s hard to report on children who have been victimized. It hits a little too close to home.

Technology is taking over A funny thing happened when I was discussing with my parents what I wanted for Christmas.

My dad asked me if I wanted a new smartphone.

I shrugged. Being the avid reader I am, my mom then asked if I wanted a Kindle or Nook.

There was a long, awkward silence.

My little brother, Cody, is the poster child for the newest “device.� Whatever they have, he wants it. I, on the other hand, have always been somewhat cautious.

Some of my favorite movies came out between 1989-1991. They are full of outdated technological references.

The parts that makes me chuckle are when a device — which is now archaic — is touted as revolutionary and the “way of the future.�

For example, in “Die Hard 2� there is a small subplot about the hero, John McClane, “getting with the times� by using a beeper and fax machine.

Poor John McClane. If only he had known TJ Martinell Staff Writer

COMMENTARY

COVINGTON MAPLE VALLEY

OPINION

[6] December 30, 2011

In Las Vegas I handed that story off to another reporter who seemed to be emotionally equipped to handle it.

If I never get another story that involves an adult — especially a coach or teacher — harming a child, particularly in a sexual manner, it will be too damn soon.

These stories wear on journalists. All of us.

Our loved ones wonder why we aren’t eating or sleeping and why we are constantly in a foul mood.

The reporting work that goes on, especially the confidential meetings with sources who are providing background so we can understand the big picture, is emotionally draining.

Add to that the effect it has on my relationships with people. Having been in the com-

munity for six years, and given the way I cover schools, I have become deeply connected to people affected by these situations. Conflicts arise because of these stories and due to their sensitivity it can be hard to resolve them.

And so, I can’t even imagine what it must be like to walk in the shoes of those who are directly impacted by the situation that led to the stories we write, because if I am suffering then it must be a million times worse for the victims and those surrounding them.

But, we have to write these stories, as grueling and painful as it can be otherwise nothing will ever be learned. Policies will never be changed.

And children who should be protected as a result of these situations may not be kept from

in 10 years only doctors would carry beepers around or use fax machines.

In “Home Alone,� the burglars include VCRs among coveted items to steal, like stereos, TVs and jewelry.

Now the only way a VCR would be worth anything is if they held onto to it for another 120 years.

The debate over to buy or not buy things like a smartphone probably won’t last for very long before a new gadget comes along and renders it obsolete.

I remember when DVDs first came out. Everyone eventually had to buy six versions of the same movie, only to decide whether to buy the BluRay or HD version and start all over again until Disney ended it.

As much as I try to keep up with what’s current, some things just don’t appeal to me personally.

No matter how someone tries to promote Kindles, reading “Anna Karenina� on a small electronic device just isn’t the same as holding an old fashioned copy.

(Editor’s Note: Apparently TJ’s parents interpreted his shrug in response to wanting an e-reader as a, “Yes, I would love one of those.� He got a Kindle for Christmas and he admits that he likes it. Kris Hill finds this hilarious.)

But it’s also like Harry Potter. It’s not the product that annoys me so much as it is people who are so unabashedly in your face about how much they love it.

Someone I know whips out his phone every time someone has a question and looks the answer up on the Internet as a way to seem cool.

Or show he couldn’t tie his shoes without looking up how to do it on his phone.

And don’t get me started on texting.

Right now Alexander Graham Bell is rolling over in his grave while Samuel Morse is laughing at the sheer irony that technology has reverted back to his method of nonverbal communication.

I understand how convenient it can be in lieu of a phone conversation, but is it too much to ask a friend to not text their semi-unofficial girlfriend in the other room every five seconds while you’re watching a movie?

I’ve been told to get an iPod, but I have remained loyal to my MP3 player through thick and thin. Just duct tape an iPod to a cell phone.

I keep up as technology improves, but, at a staggered pace. I don’t like to be the proverbial guinea pig that has to try out every new thing, only to realize it was a bigger waste of money than a pet rock. Buying the latest “thing� can turn out as well as investing in a dot com company in 1999.

Yes, a lot of the time cool stuff like the Wii comes out — even if the name was probably proposed by a drunken executive.

But anyone who kept up with the video game industry between 1983 and 2005 knows the latest console is not all that great sometimes.

So if all you have some distance between your personal life and technology, don’t fret.

When you are inevitably deprived of your cell phone for a temporary amount of time, your life won’t come to an end, and you won’t have to worry about updating your Facebook status so everyone knows it.

On a side note, I’ve been doing some research recently and discovered Washington state has a shield law for news media, which was passed in 2007.

It provides “absolute privilege� which was described to mean to be the same as attorney-client privilege or doctor-patient confidentiality. I can’t, except for under very extreme and narrow circumstances, be compelled to testify about the identity or information confidential sources

actions, I felt they were punished enough by their normally easy-going dad’s atypical reaction and the fact the toys were taken away until they opened them on Christmas Eve. I guess they learned their lesson; they never messed with delivered boxes again.

So this Christmas, armed with past memories of surprises gone bad, I ordered the cell phones a month ago. The boxes came when the kids were at school. I waited to activate them until the night before Christmas Eve, as my youngest was still using her old cell phone. I successfully snuck into my younger daughter’s room to turn off her old cell phone, which was the only instruction for activating the new one on the company’s website. Then I went online to activate them – it didn’t work.

I called customer service and was told I’d have to call a different number at 9:00am the next day. I felt disappointed because I had planned to surprise my kids by ringing the cell phones in their wrapped boxes on Christmas Eve morning; the time we open our family gifts. Then I remembered I had teenagers. And my teenagers, like most teenagers, do what they do best at 9:00 in the morning – they sleep.

I got up around 8:00am, had a couple cups of coffee, made scones, called customer service, had the phones activated, charged the phones for half an hour, wrapped them, put them under the tree and woke my kids from their slumber around 10:00am.

They were satisfactorily surprised when the boxes rang; my oldest was baffled as to what the noise was and my youngest was trying not to get her hopes up. I had actually pulled off a Christmas surprise, which turned out to be surprisingly simple, thanks to my teens’ biological rhythms.

There are just some things in life that get easier when your kids get older.

My teen daughters got cell phones for Christmas this year.

I know that’s not a big deal to a lot of parents, but I’m not a big believer of cell phones for teens. My younger daughter got a cell phone last year because her school bus dropped her off in the middle of nowhere and I wanted her to be able to call someone if for some reason we weren’t there to pick her up. But it was Dad’s old, leftover cell phone.

My older daughter has not really been interested in owning a cell phone until recently. But as a junior in high school she has to call me more frequently to arrange to be picked up from after school activities.

And someday (I hope soon) she’ll be driving and would be safer with a cell phone.

I wanted to surprise them. I stress about pulling off surprises, because when they were little sometimes things backfired.

There was one Christmas when I ordered my kids’ presents online after agonizing over the right toys to get for them. The package came and a conscientious delivery driver put the box on our back porch. I was out for the evening and my husband was home with the kids; they were about three and five at the time. My husband headed out to his shop, which is a detached building ten yards from the house, to put something away.

That’s when he spotted the box and so did the kids. He swears he wasn’t gone five minutes when he came back and the girls had hauled the box into the house, opened it, discovered the toys and assuming they were for them, had opened the packages.

My husband walked in on my kids; my older daughter cutting up the plastic front of a Barbie Pegasus box with the kitchen shears and my younger daughter already playing with her Fisher Price doll house. He freaked out, scolded the kids, telling them “those are mom’s toys,� then swooped the toys out of their sight to await the wrath of mom. My husband figured he’d better call and break the news to me before I got home.

It made me feel sick to my stomach.

The kids got a talking to when I got home.

But once they realized the gravity of their

have provided me during the course of gathering information for a story.

I’ve never had to know about this because I haven’t covered stories that might require me to invoke the shield saw prior to its passage nearly five years ago.

In any case, these cases have led to daily conversations in our newsrooms in Kent and Maple Valley.

Dennis Box and I have been discussing the need to take a step back and look at what’s been going on in the Kent School District from a higher altitude. When you have two cases like we’ve seen in the past year where there are so many parallels it makes you wonder what happened. How did those boundaries get so blurred and what can be done going

forward to make it clear to parents, students and staff exactly what are the boundaries as well as what to do when things get fuzzy?

There have been discussions in our office about the idea of tackling this in a series in the future. It’s a strategy I think would be a good one to take going forward.

Personally, I am bowing out of any further coverage of these stories in the Kent Schools, for the sake of my relationships with others, as well as my own sanity.

Thankfully between the Kent and CovingtonMaple Valley Reporter staffs, we have four other people who can handle this stuff from now on, and I can stand on the sidelines offering moral support.

Tahoma School District asked voters to pass a $125 million construction bond measure, but it became immediately clear after the first ballots were counted there wouldn’t be enough support.

The first wave of results on April 26 came in with 51.34 percent of voters supporting the measure.

A construction bond requires a super-majority or 60 percent approval rate to pass.

Kevin Patterson, district spokesman, told the Reporter in April Tahoma officials knew it was going to be a challenge but the need to alleviate overcrowding throughout the district was too great not to try.

School Board President Mary Jane Glaser told the Reporter in May the results were a disappointment. “At the heart of the concern is providing the optimum learning environment for students,� Glaser said. “As our schools become more crowded, how are we going to provide an optimum learning experience?�

Glaser pointed out that 25 percent of Tahoma students spent significant portions of the school day in aging portables.

The district was seeking approval of a $125 mil-

At the same time MultiCare’s certificate of need request was submitted, Valley requested 60 beds and Auburn Regional Medical Center 70. Both were denied.

In the meantime, MultiCare is also building a 10,000 square foot medical center in Four Corners on the site of Maple Valley Town Square, where the new Fred Meyer is under construction.

While MultiCare has offered family practice services at a small clinic in Maple Valley for some time, Hugh Kodama, it was clear that wasn’t enough for residents.

Kodama is an administrator for MultiCare. He oversees services in Covington and Maple Valley. “For the longest time we’ve been watching this area,� Kodama said at a groundbreaking ceremony for Maple Valley Town Square in April. “We thought there was a shortage of services in Maple Valley. We looked for the right opportunity. This was the right opportunity.�

lion bond measure that would pay for a number of projects including building a new Lake Wilderness Elementary, a fifth elementary school, additional classroom space at Tahoma High, an auditorium that would be used as a lecture hall and performing arts space and significant maintenance at a number of buildings in the school district among other projects.

Tahoma Junior High is projected to exceed its capacity by 2014 while elementary schools are expected to max out in October 2015.

Had the measure passed, the average tax rate for 2012 through 2016, based on current conditions, would have been $1.41 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. This would translate to $33 a month or $423 per year for someone with a home valued at $300,000.

Tahoma last ran a successful bond measure in 1997. It paid for a number of projects with the dollars raised in property taxes and state matching grants stretched over nine years.

The district has since had two unsuccessful construction bond measures, the first in 2001, the second in 2004.

It has also received support for its operations levy

every four years for some time and the campaigns for technology levies have been successful for the district in 2006 and 2010.

Not long after the academic year ended, an ad hoc student housing committee began meeting to consider ways for the district to handle overcrowding, and the 19-member committee met twice a month for five months. It handed in its recommendations in October. The school board, as of Dec. 21, Patterson said, was still considering its options.

COVINGTON CITY COUNCIL RAISES UTILITY TAX Considerable debate led to the approval of a 0.5 percent increase of the city of Covington’s utility tax by the City Council in a 6-1 vote at its Nov. 22 meeting.

It was a response to a difficult situation created by a down economy that is not recovering as quickly as officials expected in the spring.

At the Oct. 25 City Council meeting, Covington City Manager Derek Matheson explained the situation to the members. “I reminded them that the draft 2012 budget is balanced, which means we can maintain our existing

services,� Matheson said. “But, we are not able to build, operate or maintain Covington Community Park unless there is new revenue or they reduce existing services.�

Mark Lanza was the council member who voted against the increase. “I certainly have not taken this lightly and it has been hard,� Lanza said during the Nov. 22 council meeting.

The councilman said he is concerned about the funds the city may lose because of the state budget problems and the ongoing economic problems in the region and nation. “Unfortunately I don’t have a rosy outlook for the future,� Lanza said. “If this was a good economy or even a stable economy I would have no problem with (0.5) percent.�

Covington Parks and Recreation Director Scott Thomas told the Reporter in October that the city becomes “acutely aware of what a problem that can be when we had to shuffle around Covington Days� in July because the usual site, Covington MultiCare, was unavailable due to construction. The Covington Lions club, which organized the event, had to scramble to find another site.

And there’s the fact Thomas “has worked hard over the past two years to put together over $1.5 million in grants from the state and King County,� the city

manager stated.

Thomas stated, “The single largest piece of that money survived two legislative sessions. It will not survive a third session.�

That $1.5 million covers a significant chunk of the project’s $2.2 million price tag. “If we don’t move forward with the project, that money goes away,�

Matheson said. “With the condition of the state and county budgets today, who knows when that money will be available. The city has also invested $600,000 thus far to master plan and design the park.�

The city worked hard in its efforts to find money, Thomas said. “We looked at a wide range of options and decided whether they were good or bad options,� he said. “We were thorough in thinking about where that revenue would come from.�

Following the vote Mayor Margaret Harto said, “This council should be commended for a thorough and sometimes emotional conversation.�

In 2012 the city will direct about $135,000 to the park capital fund and about $180,000 each year after 2012 for maintenance of the park.

One of the reasons the majority of the council supported the ordinance was the city had received about $1.5 million in grants from [ more YEAR page 12 ]

ATTENDANCE INCREASES AT STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association saw attendance increase for the second straight year for the WIAA/ Dairy Farmers of Washington/ Les Schwab Tires fall state championships.

The WIAA, which oversees high school sports, ended the fall season with 71,152 fans attending the five different sports tournament events, an increase of 1,585 from the 2010 fall season, according to a WIAA media release. The largest attended sport was football (semifinals and finals) with 40,196 fans, an increase of 671 from the previous year.

The highest change was volleyball, which had an additional 1,310 spectators from 2010 with a total of 14,236. The mark set an association record for volleyball (accurate attendance records for individual sports have been kept since 1997). State cross country rounded out the sports that increased in attendance with another record-setting figure of 5,407. The cross country event has seen a steady increase since 2005.

In addition to the attendance figures, the WIAA launched the WIAA Network, a cross-platform endeavor that delivered television and web coverage of the state championships. The figures of the new online portal showed that 59,370 unique viewers watched webcasts of the 3A, 4A girls soccer semifinals and finals, girls swim and dive championships and the football state semifinals and Gridiron Classic, which excludes the Root Sports broadcast of the 3A and 4A football finals.

Semifinals for football had the highest number of unique views with 31,672. The portal’s home page saw unique views of over 90,000 with a total page view count of 144,123, between Nov.1 and Dec. 3.

Girls Basketball Preview

MATURE BEYOND THEIR YEARS

GIRLS BASKETBALL: Youthful Kentwood squad ready to challenge the best in the league this season

BY KRIS HILL

khill@covingtonreporter.com

O

n the surface, Kentwood’s girls basketball team may look vulnerable.

There are seven sophomores on the roster. A new coach, Lisa Ashley, has taken over this season. And a trio of talented players — Courtney Johnson, Liz Mills and Kylie Huerta — graduated in the spring.

Yet, the Conquerors seem to be doing just fine, having tallied a 6-1 overall record and a 5-1 record in the South Puget Sound League North division as of Dec. 27. “This year is a big change and we’re a really young team,� said senior point guard Maddison Rankin. “I think people underestimated us and we’re coming out on top.�

Rankin credits Kentwood’s early season success to a balanced squad that is “team oriented.� “We’re friends,� she said. “We get along really well. And our team is more well-rounded.�

In years past, scoring was driven by Huerta, who drove to the bucket as well took shots from the arc or created scoring opportunities for other players.

This year, any player can score, Rankin said. Team captains Alexis Berrysmith and Jenny Johnson agreed.

Johnson, a 5-11 sophomore forward, learned how to win from her older sisters Courtney and Beth. “We have a lot of When she and fellow sophomore Sarah Toeaina were strengths. We’re in middle school, they were on the bench handing out good at lifting towels and water bottles, taking in everything as the each other up and 2008-2009 team played to a 4A state title. staying positive. “We got to see all of their success,� Johnson said.

Maddison and I And last year, Johnson, who also plays soccer, are really trying had the opportunity to watch from the sidelines as Kentwood’s girls squad took home a 4A state title on to keep everyone pumped up. And our the pitch. team has a little Meanwhile, Toeaina, a hitter on the Conks volbit of everything.� leyball squad knows a little something about tough competition as she played on a team that took eighth Alexis Berrysmith at state as a freshman and made it to the championship match little more than a month ago.

So, while the team may seem young on paper, there’s a lot more to Kentwood on and off the floor. “I think we have a good mix and the maturity comes out because we’ve been playing together a long time,� Johnson said. “Coach Ashley was our assistant coach last year so she wasn’t brand new. And I think we have really good team chemistry. We know each other so well (being young) plays a positive for us rather than a negative.�

Berrysmith said the youth of the team has not only worked well in the short term, but, should serve the sophomore well long term too. “They have more time to develop because they’ll play together longer,�

Berrysmith said. “It’s working out pretty good (now) because we have a lot of talent on the team. We’re working pretty good as a team.�

Johnson explained the team is taking the season one game at a time. It’s an approach that seems to be working.

And playing the brand of basketball Kentwood, which has gone to the state tournament six straight years, is known for also seems to be working. “We liked to get out and run a lot,� Johnson said. “We like to push the ball, get out on a fast break. That’s what we like to do because that’s Kentwood basketball.�

Rankin said the Conks have other strengths as a team. “Our communication,� Rankin said. “Our ball management, the fact that we can really interchange on spots. We’re working on everything, trying to get better as a team.�

Berrysmith added that the girls on the team have the right attitude. During practice Tuesday morning she pointed out that Rankin was making sure to keep it up and that you could hear her talking it up even then. “We have a lot of strengths,� Berrysmith said. “We’re good at lifting each other up and staying positive. Maddison and I are really trying to keep everybody pumped up. And our team has a little bit of everything.�

And that little bit of everything, on and off the floor, is what’s catching opponents off guard. “Even though people have that idea (they’re young), we can come out and prove them wrong,� Berrysmith said. “I know we can. Hopefully we can go to state and do something.�

First, though, is Kentwood’s biggest test coming next week against Mount Rainier.

She is one of seven sophomores playing for the Conquerors this year. FILE PHOTO The Rams are favored to win the league and go to state.

Berrysmith said the Conquerors have a shot at proving the Rams aren’t the only good team in the North. “I think we can hang with them,� she said. “We’re going to have to play a game based on defense. We’re going to have to lock down everybody. We’re going to have to match that on defense.�

Even though Kentwood has had three coaches in the past five years, graduated top players who have gone on to play at the college level, the team has reloaded.

Some things never change.

And Rankin said the sky is the limit. “We can go as far as we want to go,� she said. “As much as we want to put into it is what we’ll get out.�

Kicks for the Cure game raises $3,500 Players from Kentwood’s girls soccer team presented a check for $3,500 to staff at Covington MultiCare on Dec. 15.

The money was raised in the team’s collaboration with Kentlake’s girls soccer squad in the third annual Kicks for the Cure event which culminated during the Oct. 7 match between the Conquerors and the Falcons, who are rivals in the South Puget Sound League 4A North division.

A year ago the match raised nearly $5,000 for MultiCare’s Mammogram Assistance Program, which provides diagnostic services to women who can’t afford them at clinics in Covington and Auburn as well as the Carol Milgard Breast Center in Tacoma.

Kicks for the Cure began in 2009 when Kentwood coach Aaron Radford and his wife, Tara, came up with an idea that summer which would allow the team to give back to the community.

Tara Radford said the

plan is to start working on the event earlier next year to raise more money.

Aaron Radford hoped the players learned about what it takes to put together an event like Kicks for the Cure.

MAPLE VALLEY ROUNDABOUT COMPLETED AFTER MORE THAN A DECADE ON THE BOOKS Years of discussion, planning, studies and finally construction led the to completion of the city’s first roundabout in June.

City officials celebrated completion of the project with a ribbon cutting at the intersection of Southeast 248th Street and Witte Road Southeast before the Maple Valley Days parade.

According to information provided by public works staff, the project was finished on time and about $1.4 million under budget, with the original cost of the project tabbed at $3.33 million. Maple Valley firm Goodfellow Brothers built the project. Funding came from a federal grant as well as from the city’s capital budget.

The roads have new pavement and bicycle lanes while there are new sidewalks, fencing, crosswalks, drainage system and left turn pocket for southbound traffic entering Lake Wilderness Country Club Drive. As part of the process, all overhead utility wires were moved underground.

In addition, there is now a connection to the Lake Wilderness Trail and a new trail overlook.

Improvements on Witte Road extend from Lake Wilderness Elementary to just past Nazarene Church and around the corners on Southeast 248th to the Greater Maple Valley Community Center and the Maple Valley branch of the King County Library System.

Work began on the improvements and roundabout in July 2010.

Roundabouts are a traffic flow alternative to signalized intersections that neighbor Covington has embraced in recent years for the same reasons it seemed to make sense for the intersection in Maple Valley. “Studies show they are safer for pedestrians and motorists, cheaper to operate and maintain, and better for the environment,� Capital Projects Manager Dan Mattson told the Reporter in April. “A standard four-way intersection, for example, has 32 points of conflict for cars and pedestrians, while a roundabout has eight points which are separated from one another. Roundabouts force drivers to

COVINGTON MAN ARRESTED AFTER SHOOTING ESTRANGED WIFE AT MUCKLESHOOT CASINO CLUB A 42-year-old Covington man was arrested after shooting his estranged wife, another man and his sister-in-law in the early morning hours on July 24 at Club Galaxy at Muckleshoot Casino in Auburn.

Cesar Chaparro-Vielma, 42, was charged July 28 with seven counts of first-degree assault for shooting Blanca Arroyos, her boyfriend, Marco Hernandez-Maradiaga, his wife’s two sisters and three bystanders in the early morning hours of July 24 inside the crowded Galaxy nightclub at the Muckleshoot Casino. He was held on $1 million bail. He pleaded not guilty on Aug. 10.

The man reportedly fired shots into the crowd at the popular night club, seriously injuring two victims as well as wounding five others, according to information provided by the Auburn Police Department. “We don’t know whether he followed his estranged wife there or if he just randomly ran into her,� said Auburn Police Commander Mike Hirman in a phone interview Tuesday. “It appears that he loitered about the Galaxy lounge for a few minutes before charging onto the dance floor and firing several rounds.�

The man was booked into the King County Jail for four counts of attempted homicide. He is being held on $1 million bail which was set at a hearing on Monday.

Police reported that the man shot his estranged wife, a man she was dancing with and her sister at the night club.

The shooting may have stemmed from an ongoing domestic violence situation between the suspect and the woman.

The suspect allegedly shot his wife with a handgun around 1:30 a.m. when he discovered she was dancing with another man, police said. “He first hit his wife’s male companion,� Hirman said. “He fired one or two rounds at him and then turned the gun to his wife. There was a bit of a struggle at first then he was able to fire a round into her then he turned and fired, striking her two sisters.�

During the incident the man reportedly fired several rounds, though it was his wife and sister-in-law who suffered the most serious injuries, Hirman said. “Other rounds were fired and three other individuals that were dancing got hit,� Hirman said. “He then exited the floor and security just about immediately tackled him as he was getting off the floor and heading for the exit.�

The man was then arrested by an off-duty Auburn police officer who “was able to get there and sort through the mass exodus and get aid units� on the scene, Hirman said.

According to information provided by police, four victims were transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, including the woman and the man she was dancing with while the other two victims were reportedly in satisfactory condition immediately following the incident.

Three other victims were taken to Valley Medical Center in Renton and later released. Two other club patrons were injured when they tried to flee the scene with the rest of the crowd.

According to a report by an Auburn Police Department detective, Chaparro-Vielma later admitted to police that he had followed his estranged wife and her new boyfriend to

The past nine months have not been kind to Kent School District officials.

In the spring it was discovered a math teacher at Kentlake High was having an inappropriate relationship with a student.

Just weeks ago, a Black Diamond man who teaches and coaches at Kent-Meridian High was accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a student.

Barbara Jeanne Anderson was sentenced to eight months in jail for first-degree sexual misconduct with a minor, according to King County Prosecutor’s Office spokesman Dan Donahoe.

Anderson pleaded guilty July 29 to the charge with stemmed from a relationship she had with a 17-year-old male student. She struck a plea agreement with the King County Prosecutor’s Office in late July and was sentenced Sept. 9.

King County prosecutors filed the charge against Anderson on April 4 after it was discovered in March that the 37-year-old had an inappropriate relationship with one of her male students.

Anderson pleaded not guilty to the charge in April.

The relationship came to light, according to charging documents provided by the Prosecutor’s Office, after the boy’s mother became suspicious after a meeting in February about his behavior at school.

In March a family member told the boy’s mother that he was having a sexual relationship with Anderson, at which point the mother went to school administrators to report it.

Ammons pleaded not guilty on Dec. 22 to a charge of communication with a minor for immoral purposes for allegedly sending sexually explicit text messages to a 16-yearold girl at the school.

Ammons, who coached boys and girls track and cross country at Kent-Meridian, was handcuffed, booked and fingerprinted and then released after he posted bail. Bail was set at $50,000.

The Kent School District placed Ammons on paid administrative leave Nov. 8 when the allegations first came to the district’s attention, district spokesman Chris Loftis told the Reporter.

Ammons has been removed from his coaching duties as head track and cross country coach.

A series of text messages reportedly were exchanged between Ammons and the girl from June 27 through Nov. 6. In an Oct. 13 text message, Ammons asked the girl to meet him for sex in the school’s weight room before school, according to charging papers. The two also exchanged messages about Ammons paying the girl cash for sex.

Ammons is scheduled to return to court in January.

If convicted as charged, Ammons could be sentenced up to one year in jail and fined $5,000, said Ian Goodhew, spokesman for the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.

If convicted Ammons also would have to register as a sex offender for a minimum of 10 years because it is a sex offense.

the state and King County. If the city was unable to come up with balance to build the park the grant money would have gone back.

Staff told the council it would have been more difficult to receive grant money in the future if they were unable to use these funds on the park.

The city has spent about $600,000 in designing and planning the park up to now.

The site is about 30 acres and is a collection of four parcels purchased by the city in 2003 and then brought into King County’s urban growth boundary in 2004. It was annexed into the city in 2008.

Phase one includes a soccer field and a trail system. In addition, the long term plan for Covington Community Park includes a plaza, volleyball and basketball courts, a large playground, a plaza, tennis courts and an outdoor performance area along with trails winding around the edge.

The idea, if all goes to plan, is to break ground on the first phase in the spring.

In the report, Chaparro-Vielma said of the shooting, “I think I made a mistake.�
