Incumbents maintain lead in primary

Although the Maple Valley City Council has yet to vote on a proposed business license ordinance, several significant amendments have been made.

Among the changes was the fee, which the council agreed to drop down from $50 to $25 after several council members expressed interest in keeping the cost for businesses low while recouping some of the staff costs as well.

The discussions also clarified various aspects of the proposed license.

City Manager David Johnston stated that essentially if an organization needed to get a state license to operate they would need to get a city license. No business, however, would need to get a city license that didn’t also need a state license.

If the primary election is any indication, it is the year for incumbents in the 47th Legislative District as the candidates head to the general election in November.

In Washington’s top two system, only the top two candidates in the primary election appear on the general election ballot.

In the Legislative District No. 47, challenger Bud Sizemore, a Democrat, took 46.65 percent of the vote, while incumbent Republican Mark Hargrove received 53.26 percent in the race for Representative Position No. 1. In the Position No. 2 race, Pat Sullivan carried a strong majority of 58.96 percent compared to Republican Andy Massagli’s 40.93 percent.

In District No. 5, Mark Mullet, running as a Democrat, took 52.72 percent for the empty

Flaming Geyser struggles with outdated systems

BY DENNIS BOX dbox@maplevalleyreporter.com

Flaming Geyser State Park was topic of discussion during a legislative tour of the park July 31.

State Sen. Pam Roach and Rep. Zack Hudgins attended the event.

Daniel Farber from the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission, Ranger Jeff Vassallo and Larry Fairleigh, assistant director with State Parks led the tour.

Located south of Black Diamond on Green Valley Road, the 520-acre park was purchased by the state in the late 1960s, Vassallo said.

Farber and Vassallo pointed out the park has fallen on some tough times with budget cuts to all state

parks since the recession of 2008.

Fairleigh said prior to the recession the state parks were “twothirds tax supported and now it is essentially a public enterprise….

We can’t maintain parks by just writing a check anymore.”

State parks officials are trying to expand recruitment of volunteers, according to Fairleigh, but there are issues with providing staff to oversee volunteer programs.

Vassallo and Farber outlined some of the specific problems with Flaming Geyser and the plan to bring the park up to desired standards.

Vassallo said the electrical system failed in 2010 and an estimate from Puget Sound Energy to make the system meet today’s

standards came in at more than $500,000.

There are also problems with the outdated sewer system and water and the lodge currently has neither water or bathrooms.

A concept plan for improving the park was discussed during the tour, which includes electrical, sewer and water improvements.

The proposal calls for a tram or transit vehicle to transport park visitors during peak-use periods.

Current projects in the works are a water treatment system and construction of a picnic shelter.

Roach said it is important for area residents and those directly affected by the park improvements be involved in the progress and planning of the projects.

“We have to realize there are 6,000 homes going in Black Diamond,” Roach said. “I am asking for a larger community discussion (regarding the park plan.)”

Roach said the park will be a [ more GEYSER page 4 ]

City considers using Kent courthouse and jail

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@maplevalleyreporter.com

Anyone arrested in Maple Valley may end up going to jail in Kent if the City Council approves a proposed interlocal agreement.

Additionally, the city of Kent would provide court services for Maple Valley

under the interlocal agreement.

Currently, Maple Valley uses Enumclaw’s municipal court through a similar agreement which will expire at the end of the year.

Under the proposed interlocal agreement, Maple Valley would rent Kent’s municipal court facility while retaining its current

judge. It would be considered a separate municipal court apart from Kent. In addition to Enumclaw’s jail services, Maple Valley also has agreements with King County, Issaquah and Okanogan County for jail services, although the new agreement would only affect its agreement with Enumclaw.

One major difference between Kent and Enumclaw, however, would be an additional $85,000 in costs.

While Enumclaw charges $60 per day for the use of their jails, Kent would charge $110 per day.

City Manager David Johnston told the council at its Aug. 6 meeting the reason for the discrepancy in costs is not because Kent is charging more, but that Enumclaw’s agreement was underpriced. “The issue that we need to understand is we that we should have been paying a heck of a lot more to Enumclaw,� he said. “We had that clause that no one from Enumclaw ever exercised saying we should review it every year. They chose not to do that, so we skated along with this no inflationary cost for court services and so I think the cost you see from Kent is probably more realistic to what we should

have been paying.�

He also said that Kent is cautious about not losing money, which is what happened with Enumclaw. “It may be an increase of $80,000 but it’s a fixed cost, a fundamental cost and particularly if we’re relying on another jurisdiction to provide the facility and staffing,� he said. “In talking with John, their city administrator, some of the sides I had away from them, and they said ‘This is new to us we want to make sure we get our cost down and recoup what we can.’ We say ‘Hey we appreciate that but if you’re going to have us be a customer be very sensitive with your price point.’ I think that message was embraced by all people at the negotiating table.�

The search for a new courthouse and jail began last year, when the City Council authorized Johnston to sign a new one-year interlocal agreement with Enum-

Johnston told the Reporter in November 2011 that Maple Valley’s use of Enumclaw’s courthouse was costing the city money. “They’ve expressed some concerns that the volume of their business is getting bigger than the facilities can handle, and they’re correct,� Johnston said. “With the volume of business that our growing community is sending down there it is really tough on their small lobby and small facility.

Anderson Brautigam went down for a nap at day care May 1 and never woke up.

He was 18 months old.

After seven weeks of investigating, the medical examiner apologized to his mother Lisa Brautigam, and told the Maple Valley family the official cause of death was Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC).

Brautigam, who is an environment and land use attorney for a local Native American tribe, got the call that day while she was moving into a new office after someone had retired.

In the months since Anderson’s death, the Brautigam family has started a non-profit called On the Songs of Birds to help raise funds and awareness of SUDC. The name was inspired by the little boy’s love of birds.

At night when Brautigam would rock Anderson to sleep he would sometimes resist thinking he’d heard birds chirping or singing outside his window. “All I think of is the squealing, ‘Birrrrrddddsss!,’�

Brautigam said. “He was really squealy about birds and we have a lot of birds in our yard. There’s a poem that I read, it’s on the (foundation’s) website, when I was in high school (a classmate) ‌

died of leukemia. They put this poem in our yearbook.�

A friend who had lost a child gave Brautigam a book of poems about grief and loss of children. The first page she turned to in the book was that same poem that was place in the yearbook in tribute to her classmate.

It also seemed so appropriate for Anderson and his love of bird songs.

The organization was started for two reasons, Brautigam said. “There’s the practical side of it, and maybe the fact it helps me maybe not deal with the grief side of it,� she said. “The practical side of what we’re trying to do and the purpose that we have is that I was struck really early on by what happened to us that evening on the first responder side.�

She credited Maple Valley Fire Chaplain Pat Allison with providing crucial support to them as parents as medics responded to the scene then the investigation began. “The other thing that hit me ‌ when my son first died, a friend of ours on Facebook put out a post, ‘Please pray for this family, their son just died, they think it’s SIDS,’â€? Brautigam said. “So, I started looking into support groups for SIDS, but, because he was 18 months old, I was told he wasn’t in the parameters.â€?

Though she tried to find some services among the SIDS resources for parents, Brautigam found it wasn’t the right fit, and she got frustrated as she tried to find something to help her deal with as well as understand what had happened to Anderson.

She also discovered that because SUDC is rare, many parents with toddlers aren’t aware of it, and she felt like her family could do something to help another family deal with the same tragedy hers went through. “When you lose a child, I doubt there’s anyone who’s prepared for that,� Brautigam said. “Everyone started contacting me about making a donation somewhere and we had no idea.�

Initially she considered suggesting donations to SUDC.org but until they were sure that would be the official cause of death, Brautigam didn’t want anything in her son’s memory to go to the wrong place, “I wanted to make sure it was perfect.�

In getting to know Allison, the fire chaplain, and his wife, Brautigam realized there is a need to support first responders both on a national and local level so they started there.

The Brautigams also wanted to, once SUDC was the established cause for lack of a better term, support the national SUDC foundation.

Photo courtesy of the Brautigam family “We wanted to support the research because research is wonderful and it will provide answers in the future,� Brautigam said. “But, there are so many potential causes there’s always going to families grieving and unexpected loss.�

Setting up the organization, which she said is in the process of becoming an full-fledged non-profit, was one way Brautigam dealt with her fresh grief.

Brautigam’s older sister flew out from Atlanta and

stayed for three weeks during which they spent time building a garden. In part it was a memorial to Anderson but in part it was a coping mechanism. She tackled the project with a pick axe. “It started off with brought these hydrangeas home that we wanted to plant in the yard for my son,� she said. “Then in turned into this huge project with a bird bath and all these flowers.�

Council member Layne Barnes stated that cities like Sammamish and Covington have voluntary systems and yet also have a high rate of compliance, which various council members said would be how Maple Valley would handle its license, if approved, as well. “I think that in terms of economic development and in terms of public safety and in terms of just general public good, I’ve heard a lot from citizens around town;

The start of political season

power of the people or the evil state or other rhetorical nonsense. In politics and life, people are complex in their motivations. What they say and how they say it, if listened to carefully, will reveal what they mean.

The beating heart of political action is all too often simply revenge by other words.

Through many years of covering and observing political races at all levels I have learned our Constitution can withstand the best we have and the worst.

Not because it was written by God, but because it was written by thoughtful, independent thinkers, who often did not agree on the shade of the sky, or anything else.

But they came up with a system that can withstand the worst and excel with the best. One vote, one woman, one man‌ it means just that.

individualism and socialism.

As an example, unions were formed to fight the abuses of big business, and the legalization of unions eventually evened the playing field.

Unions helped to raise wages for all workers, creating a large stable middle class.

Because of socialistic laws we now have state and federal highways, public schools, police and fire departments, Social Security and Medicare.

For most Americans, these “socialistic� programs are popular and accepted because they give to society what individuals cannot do for themselves.

On the negative side, unions can be selfish and grasping, driving some companies out of business, and raising costs.

Also, communism, a more extreme form of socialism, controlled society too much in the Soviet Union and took away freedom and incentives to produce, eventually causing the collapse of the nation in 1991.

Liberal: Liberals are those who want to bring improvement for the masses—to lift them from their oppression by the wealthy. In that sense Jesus Christ was a liberal, as were Republican presidents Teddy Roosevelt, and William Taft, and Democratic presidents Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt. The way the word is used today has twisted its meaning to almost a swear word.

That’s why those who are liberals now call themselves progressives, reminding people of the good they did the nation in the early 20th century when industrial monopolies like Standard Oil and the railroad trusts were controlling the

nation’s economy and government.

It was a time where workers slaved 70-80 hours a week being paid pennies per hour in very hazardous working conditions. It was an era when children as young as 5 worked in factories and mines. Progressive newspaper journalists, called “muckrakers� by Teddy Roosevelt, revealed these evils to the public, causing laws to be passed that ended or limited these abuses.

Liberal policies also stifle business and encourage people to rely upon the government rather than themselves, creating higher taxes, and excessive government controls on freedom.

Fascism: This is a term that came out of Italy in the 1920s and Germany and Japan in the 1930s.

It is a system of government where right wing dictators like Hitler, Mussolini, or Tojo ruled with the support of the big industrialists in capitalistic states.

This system of government was very aggressive and bullying and brought about World War II. Calling someone a fascist means that person supports a right wing military dictatorship supported by big business.

In conclusion, using these emotional words, socialism, liberal, and fascism, in letters to the editor is a misunderstanding and misuse of the true meaning of the words.

They are being used as shorthand for evil, where, historically speaking, their meanings are entirely different.

My response to such words is to figure that people who use them as epithets really do not understand their origins or their true meanings.

Sticks and stones and labels Seeing the words socialism, liberals, and fascists in letters to the editor irritates me. They irritate me because the way they are used is incorrect in their historic context.

Labeling people by using these terms puts individuals into boxes and diminishes their humanity—making them something less than human.

Labeling someone by using these terms turns the object of these attacks into two-dimensional caricatures, rather than complex humans that we all are.

As a high school social studies teacher I often had to deal with this labeling issue when I taught the political spectrum to my students; the political spectrum refers to a range of political ideas from different parties.

I’d like to explain these three terms from a social science perspective.

Composted dirt spreading (or putting your garden to bed for the winter): judged by precision and balance around plants and amount of earth moved. I use bags of steer manure/compost blend, so this event could either have a truck load of loose dirt or be judged by number of bags emptied.

Raking: judged by weight of leaves gathered. Deadheading flowers: judged by speed, neatness and area covered. So I’m going out to practice more. I’ll see you in Brazil in 2016.

want of weeding, plus I had to take advantage of cool days before summer realized it wasn’t over yet.

As I was out in the garden working and sweating I wondered why gardening wasn’t an Olympic event. While I was weeding away, I thought of all the tasks that often take Olympian endurance and how they could be judged: Weed pulling: judged by number of weeds pulled or by area covered.

Pruning: judged by speed, neatness, precision and accuracy.

Slug handling: I like throwing my slugs into the street. The slugs and I have a deal: if they stick the landing and can crawl back into the garden without getting run over, they get another chance. I also know people who cut them in half and throw them in the compost, or just throw them in the compost whole.

volleyball match with the US’s Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh against China, I caved: I looked up the outcome online. This is unusual for me, because although I don’t like sitting on the edge of my seat in anticipation, I won’t even look ahead to the end of a suspenseful book.

But I have to say it was rather enjoyable knowing the outcome of that volleyball match and watching how it played out.

One morning I woke up stiff and sore like I’d been playing beach volleyball myself. I decided turning the TV off earlier and looking up medal results online wasn’t quite enough for complete sleep restoration.

What I needed was to get some exercise of my own before I sat down to watch athletes compete for gold.

So two mornings in a row, I took a 30 minute walk.

Then the next morning I decided I needed to get out into the garden. The morning was overcast and cool and my garden was in dire

LIVING WITH GLEIGH

I have been intensely watching the Olympics for the last couple weeks. But I have to admit, I had to cut back my viewing time the beginning of the last week.

I hadn’t been sleeping well because I was going to sleep too late after watching TV, my muscles were atrophying from sitting too much, and the suspense of wanting our teams to win was keeping me on a constant, nervous edge.

Heck, I’ve avoided driving with my daughter while she is learning to drive because I can’t stand the suspense of the outcome; that is an Olympic event for which her father is much more suited.

I’m not the type of person to watch suspenseful movies, so watching some of my favorite Olympic events was unnerving me.

I mostly enjoy swimming, the women’s team sports and gymnastics. I can handle watching gymnastics and track without too much angst, they are over fairly quick; it’s the team sports that make me grind my teeth.

So when I sat down to watch the semi-final beach

...HEALTHY LIVING

Coming to terms with old age despite new possibilities There is affordable health care, cheap housing, and, surprisingly enough, even job opportunities open up for those who have the courage to seek them.

Some things may be a little chaotic, but that’s all part of the fun when you no longer need to stress over small stuff.

Unlike for its forbearers, retirement for this generation – so we are told – is a new beginning rather than a move closer to the end.

The defining word now is “adventure,� which, of course, comes from the Latin term for “arrival.�

Instead of fading away, this is the time to (finally) come into one’s own.This unprecedented optimism about the prospects of old age is also big business. Just

look at the self-help industry that thrives on people’s willingness to change their lives and start over again and again. Instead of the twilight zone, the later stages in life are now called the “Power Years� (to quote one title among countless best-selling books on the subject), a time to break with traditional roles and an opportunity for reinvention and creativity. “Due to longer life spans, economic uncertainty, and the mass rejection of yesterday’s model of old age, yesterday’s model of retirement is being transformed,� wrote the two lifestyle gurus and bestselling authors of “Power Years� (Wiley, 2005), Ken Dychtwald and Daniel J. Kadlec. “Instead of

viewing the years ahead as a time of decline, retreat, and withdrawal, we are coming to see this as a terrific new opportunity to reevaluate our lives, consider new options, and chart new courses. The next chapter in our life’s journey can be one of personal reinvention, financial liberation, career innovation, new relationships, and social and spiritual fulfillment.�

The authors suggest that the new retirees should consider themselves as “ageless explorers� who travel the world, start businesses and live life to the fullest at every moment they have left.

Americans are especially receptive for messages like these. The idea that our best days are always ahead of us is an important part of our fabric, both individually and as a nation. But is all this

actually achievable or just wishful thinking? A much different, one might say, pessimistic, take on aging comes from Susan Jacoby, author of “Never Say Die – The Myth and Marketing of the New Old Age� (VintageBooks, 2011). Jacoby agrees that baby boomers have many advantages that were unheard of in the past. “Many old people today – if they are in sound financial shape, if they are in reasonably good health, and if they possess functioning brains – can explore an array of possibilities that did not exist even a generation ago.�

However, she continues, “at some point, nearly every baby boomer will have to cope with the shattering of vanity and self-delusion about the capacity to remain, as the song goes, forever young.�

To be sure, there is nothing wrong with trying one’s utmost to stay physically fit, mentally sharp, socially engaged and curious about the world. But we must also remain realistic about our natural limitations. More importantly, we must be aware that our aging process starts at birth. While this may sound a bit dramatic, it is undoubtedly true that taking care of our well-being is equally important at every stage in life.

The healthier we eat and the more we exercise, the better in shape we are, the better we can deal with life’s challenges, the more intact we come out at the other end. Life is what you make it, as the saying goes.

So, let’s not wait until it’s almost too late, let’s make life as good as it can be right now.

Beyond that, the Brautigams are looking for other ways to use the non-profit to help benefit children and families in the area. “We’re looking for child enrichment projects,�

Brautigam said. “There are thousands of kids in Maple Valley and we have two other kids. We’ve been working with and communicating through the website

and my blog with parents throughout the country.�

There are also plans for a silent auction fundraiser in late January, but, Brautigam said, they haven’t found the right venue for the right price yet.

The family also hopes to help with the Maple Valley Firefighters Benevolent Fund’s golf tournament later this year.

Brautigam also said that if there is a family in need dur-

ing the holiday season that is grieving over the loss of a child, she wants to be there to help, especially if the loss is more recent. “We’re so fortunate to have the services that we had in that horrible, horrible tragedy,� she said. “And we want to help anyone else who might go through this.�

Ultimately, as Brautigam, her husband Jeremy and their two girls who are 3 and 6, work through the grieving

process in their own and sometimes very different ways, she said that their experience is an important story to tell. “There’s been a lot of good that’s come from this,� she said. “When all this happened it shows you that you’re not alone. We have friends that have been amazing, friends that I knew were good friends, but it took on a whole new meaning.�

Anderson’s short life

did make a difference and Brautigam will continue to work to ensure that he will continue to make a difference in the world.

Though the little boy, whom she described as hysterically funny, didn’t wake up from that nap she will always think of him when she hears birds singing.

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancerrelated deaths in the United States. Now, preliminary research on the effects of low daily doses of aspirin is showing signs of promise. One study indicates that even a daily dose of the lowest possible dosage of aspirin, 75 milligrams, has possible preventive properties. The healthy effects of aspirin begin after approximately one year of use.

The risk of colorectal cancer decreases by about 22% at that point. After five years of consistent, daily aspirin use, the risk for colorectal cancer drops down to about 30%. The news is promising, but the American Cancer Society is not without reservations, as aspirin use can also have negative effects. Check with your physician.

One of the best tools for detecting colon cancer is a colonoscopy. Colonoscopies are usually used to evaluate symptoms like abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, or changes in bowel habits but they are also used to screen for colorectal cancer.

COMMENTARY

As they enter retirement age, baby boomers are once again at the center of the attention of marketers and industry. I speak from experience. Hardly a day passes by on which I don’t receive a letter, brochure or magazine in the mail, inviting me to go on a trip to far-flung places, continue my adult education, or join a community of like-minded, active seniors.

Aging has never been so much fun and so full of promise, it seems. Take, for example, the movie “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel,� which turned out to be one of the longest-running box office hits this year. In it, a group of retirees from England goes off to India (of all places) to start a new life that appears to be easier and more enjoyable than everything they’ve left behind.

Kentwood boys water polo team strikes out on its own after combining with Kentridge last season in the pool

BY KRIS HILL

khill@covingtonreporter.com

W

ater polo is growing in the Kent School District.

A game that will look familiar to fans of a number of sports ranging from soccer to hockey to basketball has been played for more than a decade at Kentridge.

This year Kentwood will have a boys team again in the fall for the first time in nearly a decade.

Last season Kentridge’s boys team was allowed to have Kentwood players on varsity for a season, with the idea that Kentwood would recruit enough players to field a full team this year, according to Sharon Wright, whose son Brian is an avid water polo player.

Sharon Wright is also a counselor at Kentwood who coaches both the boys and girls swim teams. Brian will be a junior at Kentwood this fall. “Brian, my son, was an eighth grader when he opted to play with the Kentridge team,� Wright said. “As a freshman he had recruited more guys and we advertised it around the school because Kentridge had graduated a bunch of guys.�

Mike McKee, a Kentridge parent who coaches the Chargers water polo squad, said it was great having Kentwood players on the team a

Kentwood’s Brian Wright, 19, keeps the ball away during a boys water polo match a year ago. Kentwood has its own team this year. Photo courtesy of Tracy Arnold year ago. “The league gave us this chance last year,� McKee said. “The more people involved in the sport the better. It’s a great activity.�

But both he and Wright noted that other schools in the South Puget Sound League which field teams — the sport is not officially sanctioned by the WIAA but is still popular in South King County —

were concerned that if a multischool Kent team continued to play it would end up as an all-star type of team of players from throughout the district. “The goal after last year was to be able to stand on our own two feet,�

Wright said. “It’s an uphill battle in terms of advertising the sport and getting people interested in the sport as well as funding because

we have to pay for pool rentals and equipment.�

Kentwood and Kentridge water polo teams can’t get the kind of support from the schools they would get if it were an officially sanctioned sport. “We have an uphill battle because both schools are not really supported like other schools in terms of finances ‌ they treat it like a club activity,â€? McKee said. “We don’t really have the big push from the schools to help us out, so, it’s a daunting task to make sure we get enough players.â€?

So that means it’s a little bit trickier because they are last in line for pool time, which especially hard because the Kent-Meridian pool and the Covington Aquatic Center are both booked solid in the fall.

It’s also more expensive for players.

Luckily, Wright was able to get a $3,000 grant from the Seattle Thunderbirds Foundation to help Kentwood get started. “It’s helping us buy equipment because we literally had nothing,� she said. “So, we’re getting balls and luckily we’ll be able to use the goals at Covington. Hopefully we should be up and running for our first game Sept. 11. We just need the boys interested in playing.�

Dream ride turns into claustrophobic nightmare supposed to happen, had personally invited me.

It was a lead-up event prior to the National Hot Rod Association’s 25th Annual O’Reilly Auto Parts Northwest Nationals Aug. 3-5.

I arrived at the track at

noon and took photos of other folks going down the quarter-mile drag strip in the super gas car as well as a super comp dragster, which was driven by former instructor and NHRA funny car driver Jack Beckman.

Both cars go in excess of 140 MPH. Now, I drive a 2000 Ford Mustang, which has 190 horsepower stock and tops out at 120 MPH. I’ve pushed it to that limit in the past when some punk kid tried to pass me in the right lane in an early 1990s four cylinder Honda Accord on state Route 18 when I was driving, um,

more than the legal speed limit of 60 MPH. Amazingly, enough, I have not yet gotten a speeding ticket in my Mustang.

Knock on wood.

But, I digress.

Prior to getting into a two-layer fire suit that is similar to what NASCAR drivers wear – NHRA drivers wear eight-layer fire

suits and the nitromethane fueled cars cover 1,000 feet in four seconds or less while generating 7,000 horsepower – I told at least three other people that I was stoked to take a ride in drag racing car.

[ POLO from page 10]

go to the pool and watch. If they really want to get their feet wet, they can, literally get in the water to see if they like it. “The first two weeks is teaching kids how to tread water,� Wright said. “Soccer players tend to make the best transition because it seems like the way the game is played is similar, except it’s in the water. And probably wrestlers, because it’s pretty violent under the water. The guys are tough, man.�

The game is playing in four quarters that last seven minutes at the varsity level.

There are six players plus a goal per side. Unlike soccer, basketball or hockey, there are no set positions. Each player is expected to play on offense and defense. Like hockey, if a player breaks a rule, fouls, then he can be pulled out and there is a situation similar to a power play also known as ‘man-up.’ Like any other game, the team with the most points at the end wins.

As a swim coach, Wright likes to see her athletes play water polo in the fall because boys swim is in the summer, while the girls can play in the spring which could lead into summer swim league. Overall, it helps kids get into or stay in shape for other sports. “It is cardiovascular, and it’s probably cheaper than joining a club swim team,� she said. “Plus the guys just love the game.�

Even with having late practice times around 8 or 9 p.m. with games around the same time, Wright said, the players “convince their parents they’ll get their homework done and they will get up in the morning for school.�

McKee said he sees quite a transformation in kids who were new to the sport. “You see the kids before they started and after, even though it’s only a two month season, their cardiovascular and endurance go up extremely (high) and often they dovetail it into their swim season,� McKee said. “Last year six or seven of our kids went to state in swimming. It’s a team sport so the kids have a lot more fun with it. I think the kids like that aspect of it. Usually most kids seem to love it once they commit to it.�

From his perspective, it’s good for Kentwood to have its own team in the interest of growing the sport in the Kent School District.

“From our perspective, it gives us a rivalry, but it’s a friendly rivalry,� McKee said. “We want them to succeed because we’d like the whole Kent area to consider adding this to our varsity sport list.

Maybe this can be a groundswell of something in the future for the Kent School District to consider.�

He gave Wright credit for putting in the work to help get the Kentwood team going by working with the coaches from the other teams in the SPSL to allow the combing squad to play last season. “It’s really hard to get a new team going,� McKee said. “I’m hoping they are

successful this year.�

There are plans for additional recruiting, Wright said. She hopes to see more girls play, too. “If we just get 10 girls who say, ‘Yeah, let’s do this, we can make it happen,’ and there’s so much more pool time in the spring,� she said. “As a coach, it’s a win-win for me, because they’re in the water in the spring when they might not be otherwise.�

Practices for both teams start Aug. 20, the same time tryouts for all WIAAsanctioned fall sports begin at the high schools. “We went from one player to nine in one year,� Wright said. “So thank goodness they let us (combine teams) because that allowed my guys to experience some tough games tough situations than if they had just played junior varsity. We are really fighting an uphill battle but so far we’re doing really well.�

There are at least 10 boys who have committed to play for the Conquerors, Wright said, with a handful who are still on the fence.

Anyone who is interested can come and check it out.

At Kentridge, McKee said, the first week is free.

At Kentwood, Wright said, they have two weeks to decide if they want to play.

She suggested that boys who want to check it out ought to

NOTICE OF DECISIONMINOR AMENDMENT TO “THE VILLAGES�MASTER PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT PLN12-0018 Notice Released: August 17, 2012 Pursuant to Section 10.4.2 of “The Villages Master Planned Development�

Development Agreement (TV DA), approved on December 12, 2011, you are hereby advised that the Mayor of Black Diamond has approved a Minor Amendment to the Agreement.

Application Number: PLN12-0018 Requested by: BD Village Partners, 10220 NE Points Drive Suite 310, Kirkland, WA 98033 Summary of approved Amendment: The approval amends Table 4-1, which contains an incorrect phase designation for Development Parcel V22-S. Parcel V22-S is labeled as Phase 2 instead of Phase 1A. The correction is necessary so that Table 4-1 accurately reflects the approved Villages MPD Phasing

Plan as set forth in Exhibit K of TV DA. Parcel V22-S is a 2.5 acre optional expansion parcel for the Enumclaw School District originally identified on the MPD Site Plan that was included as Exhibit A to TV DA. Pursuant to the Comprehensive School Mitigation Agreement dated January 24, 2011, the Master Developer has agreed to reserve a portion of parcel V22 equaling 2.5 acres and to convey it to the District if the District decides to build a larger elementary school. This 2.5 acre expansion area is referred to as Development Parcel V22-S. Location: The Villages project consists of two subareas, the Main Property and the North Property. The Main Property is located south of Auburn-Black Diamond Road (Roberts Drive) and west of SR 169. The North Property is located on the west side of SR 169, approximately two miles north of the Main Property and north of SE 312th Street (if extended). The North Property is south of and adjacent to the North Triangle property that is part of the Lawson Hills MPD. There is no administrative appeal of this decision. This decision may only be appealed by filing a land use petition in Superior Court and complying with the requirements of RCW 36.70C.040.
