Project funding is hard to come by for medium-size, cashstrapped cities like Covington, so for the public works department to score a half dozen grants this year is a significant victory.

It’s the culmination of a process that began three years ago, explained Glenn Akramoff, the city’s public works director.

“In 2009 we started a process where our department in partnership with a consultant put together a public works grant strategy,” Akramoff said. “The crux of the strategy was to apply for grants only when we have a viable project so as part of that we needed to put together some viable projects and get them grant ready. There were a bunch of grant cycles we weren’t aggressive with because we didn’t have projects. That philosophy is bearing fruit.”

Because the city hasn’t been able to develop and fund a largescale capital improvement plan, Akramoff said, it made sense to make a list of projects then go after grants.

“A lot of the grant programs have been focused on creating

Covington residents know what they want and they told city officials as well as the Covington Chamber of Commerce in a survey this summer.

The results show survey respondents overwhelmingly want new business in the city, specifically family-friendly shopping, restaurants and entertainment.

During the summer the city asked for feedback via an online survey to gather information about demographics, employment background, shopping in Covington as well as education particularly higher and continuing education. Though city staff wanted input from Covington residents they also encouraged those who live outside the city limits to fill it out.

More than 150 people responded to the survey, according to data provided by the Covington Chamber of Commerce, which helped develop it in partnership with the city and its Economic Development Council.

Mom turned business owner reaps rewards in Stroller Strides

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@maplevalleyreporter.com

The Maple Valley and Kent Stroller Strides franchise was nominated among the top three in the nation.

Owned by Kristy Fassio, a Kent resident, Stroller Strides provides a full body fitness body program for moms with their young children in tow in their strollers. The program first started in San Diego

and is nationwide.

Fassio fits the “I’m not just the owner, I’m also a client” concept.

She first got involved with Stroller Strides by enrolling in the program after the birth of her three month old daughter in 2007.

“I was a brand new mom,” she said. “I weighed 300 pounds, so the thought of getting out of the house by myself with an infant, going to a fitness group of people I didn’t know was terrifying. But

I needed to get out of the house. I needed to make a change.”

Fassio later bought the Maple Valley franchise after its owner said she needed to sell it. Fassio she she knew it was the right choice when her husband preemptively approved the idea.

“He said, ‘Great when are we buying it,’” Fassio said. “He knew what it meant to our family. I had lost 75 pounds. It really was just that day. It wasn’t anything I had ever thought of, and I didn’t want to start one by myself, but when she presented it to me, I jumped right on it.”

Though she didn’t make any [ more STRIDES page 8 ]

City At A Crossroads Ravensdale’s mine explosion a nightmare

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@maplevalleyreporter.com.

For Ravensdale, it was a coal mining community’s worst nightmare come true.

A massive explosion shook the ground so violently it was felt in towns as far away as Black Diamond. Ominous black smoke poured out from the ground next to the entrance to the mine. As rescuers came from Black Diamond and even as far away as Roslyn, the entire town of roughly 1,000 people gathered in the hopes survivors would be found.

For hours, rescuers donning oxygen masks worked to secure the mines.

Although they quickly found three survivors, as they made their way down they came across the grisly sight of one mangled body after another. It was then they realized no else would be found alive.

In all, 31 miners were killed in the explosion, which was one of the worst in Washington state history.

Due to a combination of economic, political, and even practical influences, the town never recovered.

The Northwest Improvement Company (NWI), which owned the town, pulled out and operations never resumed. Slowly, the town’s population depleted to the point where it disincorporated in the 1920s, the first and only city in King County to do so.

Although the effects of the explosion did not have an enormous or immediate impact on the greater Maple Valley area, Ravensdale’s disincorporation would prove to have potentially monumental consequences as the end of the century when the state and county established the concept of urban growth boundaries.

A MINING TOWN Ravensdale, originally called Leary after Leary Coal Company, first became host to underground coal mining in 1898. At the time it was owned by the Seattle and San Francisco Railway and Navigation Company. Northwest Improvement Company (NWI), a subsidiary of Northern Pacific, later purchased the mines. The town was officially incorporated Aug. 15, 1913, and had

about 1,000 residents. In all, 230 miners were employed.

While most of the men worked in the mines, Ravensdale also had a significant population of independents who had no ties to the company.

Dick Peacock with the Maple Valley Historical Society stated there were actually two different towns. Ravensdale, owned

by NWI, was incorporated and the property and buildings owned entirely by the company.

One of the families to live in Ravensdale was Anton and Lulu Kombol, the grandparents of Bill Kombol, who owns Palmer Coking Coal Company in Black Diamond. In her autobiography, Lulu Kombol, who worked at the town schoolhouse for eight years, said she was well paid in Ravensdale and the easily accessible train took them to bigger cities for theatrical plays and musicals. It was also in Ravensdale where she met Anton and later married him in 1914, a year before the explosion.

Adjacent to Ravensdale was Georgetown, an incorporated town where

Ravensdale in the early 1910s. There were actually two towns, Ravensdale and Georgetown. Ravnesdale was owned by the railroad company, while Georgetwon was privately owned. Courtesy photo the residents owned the property, homes, and buildings. While they shared the same zip code, according to Peacock, they were considered separate towns.

During Washington state’s peak coal mining years it was common to include every small community on the map, as long as they had a post office.

An early 1900 township map at the Maple Valley Historical Society has Georgetown listed besides Ravensdale.

Georgetown acted in some ways as a mini Las

Vegas. In addition to three dance halls, Georgetown also had 11 saloons.

As for the mine, Ravensdale was unique in that it was what is referred to as a “dry mine,� which Peacock said is when there is little moisture in the tunnels, which meant it was much easier for explosions to occur unless moisture was brought in through installed systems. But at the time they were primitive at best.

sion was, a fateful accident precipitating it prevented the disaster from being far worse. The morning of Nov. 15, 1915, a blown fuse left the hoisting machinery inoperable. A hundred were sent home to wait until the problem was fixed, while 50 remained in the mines. One of the lucky miners who left was Anton Kombol.

At 1:25 p.m. an earthquake-like tremor shook the ground.

[4] October 19, 2012 [ RAVENSDALE from page 3] residents, such as Vera Habenicht, recalled feeling the explosion more than seven miles away.

Habenicht, who was in seventh grade at the time, said the kids knew instantly what had happened and later went to Ravensdale along with the rescue teams.

Among the more vivid things she recalls, she said, is seeing the bodies of the dead miners out in the lobby of the Ravensdale hotel.

Her grandfather, who worked in the Ravanesdale mine on the lowest level, was among those killed and was found four days later. The last bodies were recovered Nov. 21.

The rescue equipment at the time was primitive. Gas lamps, and canary cages before them, were used to test the gas levels to ensure the air was safe to breathe.

Safety concerns required the rescuers, who wore gas masks resembling divers helmets, to work their way down at a slow speed at 90 minute intervals. But they would discover the miners who had been killed had died instantly or sustained fatal injuries, leaving no possibility they might have been saved had more advanced technology existed.

The 31 men were buried in the Ravensdale Cemetery. According to Bill Kombol, the deceased miners’ families received a total of $124,000 for their losses: about $4,000 for each married man and a lesser

XXX DPWJOHUPOSFQPSUFS DPN t XXX NBQMFWBMMFZSFQPSUFS DPN amount for single men. All but seven of the miners killed were married.

It may never be known what or who caused the explosion precisely, though it seems there were numerous problems in the mine which led to it.

According to a 1916 report to the State Inspector of Coal Mines obtained from Palmer Coking Coal, an investigation one month after the explosion concluded that the explosion was probably caused by an overcharged shot or an explosion of gas in the chutes. The coroner’s report, however, stated that matches and a smoking pipe were found among some of the dead miners at the face or foremost section of the chute.

Whatever instigated it, the overabundance of coal dust in the mines definitely contributed to the magnitude of the explosion.

Though mine officials had taken precautions to take care of the problem, the report concluded, they hadn’t been effective enough. “This is not said in any spirit of criticism of those in charge of the mine,� the report stated. “For it is realized that the dusty conditions at the Ravnedale mine at the time of the explosion had come on in a few weeks and were something they did not have previous to that time.�

However, the report also found the sprinkler system designed to bring in moisture were not utilized properly until two days

before the explosion.

RIPPLE EFFECTS Ravensdale was not the first or last coal mining town to experience a deadly explosion. Black Diamond and Franklin, now a ghost town, suffered significant disasters on a similar scale in terms of devastation and loss of men. Yet in those instances, the explosions did not stop the mines from operating and the towns survived.

What makes Ravensdale’s explosion different is that the effects were immediate and dramatic. Operations immediately ceased in the mines and never resumed.

According to Peacock, NWI took many of its buildings, including the hotel, and moved them to Rosalyn.

Families, such as the Kombols, moved to Arizona to work in the copper mines.

With no work available other than the nearby coal mine communities such as Danville, Summit or Kanaskat, there was little reason to stay in the area.

At some point in the 1920s, the population of Ravensdale fell to such a low level no one bothered to file the paperwork necessary to retain the town’s incorporation, making it the first and, at present, only King County town or city to disincorporate. Only recently has the community reached its former population. The Northern Pacific Railroad tracks are still there, operated by the Burlington Northern – Santa Fe and is one of the main

east-west rail lines by which commerce passes into and out of the Puget Sound region.

Yet at the same time, in a way the spark which set off the explosion symbolized the impact the explosion itself had on the town.

Though it instigated the disincorporation and mine closure, the explosion itself was not the primary cause for the aftermath. Much like the 1921 miners lockout in Black Diamond by Pacific Coast Coal, outside forces on a national and global scale played a much larger role.

Greg Oberst, whose book “Disasters of the Northwest: Stories of Courage and Chaos,� includes a chapter on the Ravensdale explosion, stated two primary causes for the town’s disincorporation: the decreasing price of coal and the demand for men in World War I. At the same time, he doesn’t dismiss the seriousness of the accident. “The catastrophic explosion clearly was a huge event that staggered the community,� Oberst said. “There’s no doubt about it.

(But) coal mining towns in Western Washington saw the exit of their local employees, but survived on one level. It was one too many events in the town to survive.�

For Ravensdale, the timing of the accident couldn’t have been worse. Coal production costs in Washington were 80 percent higher than the rest of the nation which, in addition to

WALKING ROUTES AVAILABLE in Covington/Maple Valley/Black Diamond!

the discovery of petroleum reserves in California and Oklahoma, destroyed any incentive for NWI to put money into reopening the mines. “The market place for coal that had so driven Ravensdale, all the mining communities, was starting to dry up,� Oberst said. “There were many accidents in those days. But the (other) accidents came at a time when demand was still high, so what do they do when they have accidents?

Clean up the mess and keep mining. The demand was still there. It was still tragic and catastrophic in a lot of ways, but it didn’t shut operations down. After the Franklin accident they kept right on mining.�

The other contributor, World War I, sapped the town of remaining men who, unable to find work elsewhere, enlisted when America entered the conflict in 1917. By 1919, there were four million military personnel mobilized out of a population of 92 million. “The demand for young men of the kind who might work in the coal mine was very strong,� Oberst said.

WHAT IF...

If the Ravensdale mine explosion hadn’t happened the community and the area surrounding it could have developed very differently.

This presents several hypothetical situations that might have led to vastly different outcomes. Nevertheless, even in such situations, some outcomes had been predetermined.

Whether or not the explosion happened, it is fair to say Ravensdale would not have thrived as a community. As it was in

Black Diamond, the lockout merely reflected the declining fortunes of coal mining in the state.

One thing it might have changed, and what ultimately had the greatest impact on the larger region, was Ravensdale’s disincorporation. Had the explosion either occurred at a time when coal prices were higher, such as the turn of the century or during World War I, or not at all, Oberst said Ravensdale had a strong chance of survival. “There might have been enough guys to run the show, so to speak,� Oberst said. “But between the three events (explosion, low prices and World War I) it just depleted the population. It was just a question of numbers. There was just nobody left. But had the explosion not happened, I think it’s safe to say the city might not have disincorporated.�

Other mining operations in the area which continued and sometimes even started in the late 1920s make this a strong possibility. According to Peacock, a mine near the sandpit by Ravensdale Lake opened in 1929 and employed 500 men.

While this may not have caused Ravensdale to grow, Oberst said, it would have provided employment for miners at some point when the Ravensdale mine might have closed due to low coal prices. Or, other industries such as logging might have come in a later date and changed the town’s identity.

Oberst theorizes that Ravensdale would likely not have prospered even if the town had survived the effects of the explosion. “The heart of the com[ more RAVENSDALE page 8 ]

WEST NILE VIRUS West Nile virus is a potentially dangerous infection that has spread to endemic status and is most severe towards the end of the summer and into fall. The virus is spread by the bite of infected mosquitoes. While the majority of people will show no symptoms at all after being bitten by an infected mosquito, about 20 percent of people will have symptoms such as headache, body aches, fever, nausea, vomiting, swollen lymph glands, and rash. About one out of every 150 people will develop severe symptoms, which are high fever, headache, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, and coma among other severe problems. The symptoms can persist for several weeks, with some neurological effects becoming permanent.

Mild symptoms of West Nile fever usually resolve themselves. If you experience signs or symptoms of serious infection, such as severe headaches, a stiff neck or an altered mental state, seek medical attention right away.

A serious West Nile virus infection generally requires hospitalization.

� Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K : �By 2000, politics will simply fade away. We will not see any political parties.�- R. Buckminster Fuller

Our view of an accusation

Several weeks ago we received letters to the editor that made some pretty harsh statements about Rep. Mark Hargrove.

They stated he was fined by an ethics boards for inappropriately using public resources for his reelection campaign.

Whoa. That sounds like a rather serious charge to me.

That begged the question: Why the heck hadn’t we heard anything about it?

As it turned out, the information came from a blog post on The Olympian’s website. Still uncertain as to what happened, I got a hold of the ethics board documents and gave Hargrove a call to discuss it.

The confusing nature of legal language (which is intentional, I feel) often makes me want to rip out my hair, so for your sanity I’ll condense it down to the bare minimum.

During the special legislative session in November 2011, Hargrove said he wanted to improve communication with his constituents, particularly on the state budget. He thought of making a video he’d post to his website and run on television.

He later learned, however, that it would be against the rules to do so, since representatives are not allowed to use public resources to produce videos that would be used outside their legislative districts.

Instead, Hargrove said he turned to his surplus campaign funds to produce the video, which was later posted to his website in December and also aired on Comcast.

Here’s where the problem arose.

In the video are Hargrove’s legislative email TJ Martinell Staff Writer

and phone number, which are considered public resources. Because he used his campaign funds on the video, it was considered a campaign advertisement and thus he could not include his legislative email or phone for voters to contact him. In the end, he was fined $357.

I don’t know about you, but when someone tells me a politician misused public resources on a campaign, I think of them spending $4 million of taxpayer dollars on gas to drive around in a SUV while offering free Justin Bieber tickets to 18-year-old girl (and guy, sadly) voters.

The reason I’m bringing up the matter is for two reasons.

One, we received letters to the editor about it and it’s our job as reporters to investigate claims made, especially if we publish the letters. Two, most importantly, our readers deserve to know what their elected officials are up to. Petty or not,

it’s our business to know.

But, at the same time, one has to ask how big of a deal this is.

Apparently Tony Yuchasz in the House Democratic Campaign Committee didn’t think it was a big deal for seven months, which is how long the video was on Hargrove’s YouTube channel before Yuchasz filed the complaint in July.

Then again, since this is an election year, perhaps I just answered my own question.

This isn’t a scandal on par with Watergate or Operation Fast and Furious. It’s a traffic ticket for not coming to a complete stop at a red light.

And before anyone rushes to their computer to fire off a letter or email, we would extend the same “grace� to Bud Sizemore, Hargrove’s opponent, should he get elected and make a similar faux pas.

But a little context and clarity can’t hurt.

system of checks and balances with divided branches of government. If the pendulum swings too far one way, a council is an effective check on a mayor.

Should the pendulum veer another way, a Mayor is an effective check on the council. My opposition to a council-city manager form of government stems from my view of human nature. In time, we will end up with an unelected bureaucrat answerable to five council bosses. I would rather have an elected mayor answerable to the full electorate.

I contend that a mayor-city council form of government is the more conservative form of government, and therefore more likely to balance the passions of the moment. This is a longterm and balanced approach to governing a city, no matter how one feels on the issues of the day.

Please join me in voting no so we can retain our right to elect our own mayor.

These are the same people who are currently in litigation or in support of the litigation against the city and YarrowBay. In each appeal they have filed, the courts have ruled in favor of the city. The mayor and past councils used the right procedures and followed the law in the MPD process. The Mayor has never voted on the MPD’s as the signs lead you to believe.

Proposition 1 is not about changing the form of government because it’s better or we will have a professional manager nor will it change future growth. The courts have approved growth. The Mayor hired a professional city administrator to handle all of the daily administrative work and the council has chosen to ignore his recommendations as well.

When council members Deady and Benson brought the resolution forward they asked the city administrator to report the pros and cons on the two types of government. When he offered to share this information in front of the entire council at a meeting not one of them asked to hear it. They ignored the public’s request for a public hearing on the issue. Four council members with less than one year’s experience and not one city budget under their belts passed the resolution to change the form of government 4-1.

Council member Craig Goodwin who has the most experience with the city budget, voted against it, said “ Let’s call this what it is: A back door Mayor recall. We have a city administrator, lets work with that and table this until we can do

Proposition 1 would take away checks and balances Scan this code and start receiving local news on your mobile device today!

The citizens of Black Diamond will soon vote on Proposition 1, which would change our form of city government. I have long supported a strong mayor-city council form of government.

Let me explain why. I believe in a division of power between the branches of government. I believe in checks and balances. I believe in our founding father’s view of government — that the passions of the moment must be checked to allow time to properly test new ideas.

On a federal level we have a House of Representatives which checks the Senate who together balance the president, all of whom are kept under the watchful eye of the Supreme Court.

We also have balance in our federal-state system, where some functions of government are best handled at a national level, while others deserve a local approach.

On a municipal level, I support a similar

XXX DPWJOHUPOSFQPSUFS DPN t XXX NBQMFWBMMFZSFQPSUFS DPN [ LETTERS from page 5] our due diligence.�

His recommendation was ignored. I hope citizens see that changing our type of government will leave us in the hands of four inexperienced council members and take away your right to vote for mayor. They will choose the mayor among the five of them.

People would like you to believe the Mayor has not hired a city administrator because she wants all the power. She did not hire one because the city does not have the funds to pay for the position without cutting services to our police department, or raising taxes. The current city administrator is being paid for with some reserves and a grant to the city from YarrowBay. And all that money the Mayor makes — $12,000 a year.

Don’t forget council members get $2,000 per year for a few hours of work but the mayor is available for 32 hours a week. That will not put a dent in the new administrative position. That will likely cost $150,000 plus. Having the Mayor act as the executive and have the knowledge and capability of her staff and legal team has worked well the last two years. Some disagree but you only have to look at the court cases that confirm the city staff and mayor have done the job before them to the law.

The Mayor understands the needs of the city and requirements mandated from the state. She has balanced the budget the last two years

without cutting any services or raising taxes. We have more money in reserves‌ she has four years of experience with the city budget, she knows how fragile the cities financial state is. Let’s keep our mayoral system. If you don’t like her vote her out next year. Please vote no on Proposition 1.

Kristine Hanson Black Diamond

Only the mayor is on our side There is even more confusion in our city now that we have 3 newly elected council members and one appointed voting to put a change of government on the November ballot. These newly elected and appointed members came onto the council wanting to stop the growth in the city.

This mayor and former councils spent years trying to find a solution that would allow the city to replace its aging water lines, most of which are the asbestos cement type. There are approximately 800 water customers in original Black Diamond and we have a water bill due to the city of Tacoma for over $2 million and miles of this old and undersized pipe to replace that will cost millions more.

Every council and mayor prior to this council have concluded that the only way to pay these millions of dollars is to add many more

users that will pay not only for water but also pay an initial hookup fee of $5,900 each. The residents around Lake Sawyer — which was annexed into the city in 1998 — are in the Covington Water District which has about 20,000 users to pay for their pipe and services. All the residents of our original city that get a city of Black Diamond water bill need equal treatment to spread out the cost over perhaps 4,000 users over the next 30 years.

The city also needs a new fire station in the original part of town because everyone who lives east of the Lake Sawyer Road-Auburn Black Diamond intersection has fire protection service that is rated inadequate by the fire chief and because the call response time is greater than 6 minutes which makes the survival rate near zero for heart attack and other life threatening injuries. This current council cancelled an agreement for a community facilities district that the mayor and previous council approved, that would have given the residents of the original city the same fire protection that the residents around Lake Sawyer get.

Again, all we want is equal treatment.

The residents of Lake Sawyer do not pay a utility tax to the city on their water and sewer bills. Only the residents that get a City of Black Diamond water and sewer bill pay this tax.

Those funds go directly to pay for city services for all.

How fair is that‌that only half the city pays this tax

for services that everyone gets? The argument that the residents on Lake Sawyer pay more in taxes because their properties are worth more is a hollow complaint.

They pay taxes based on the evaluation of their property which is what we all do.

However, they receive city services that are only being paid for by the old town water users.

Again, all we want is equal treatment. Please vote no for the change of government because the only person on the side of the original Black Diamond residents is the mayor.

Mario Sorci Black Diamond

City government needs to change The form of government that is in place at this time gives sole power to the Mayor. This may have been ok when there wasn’t the massive, complex and controversial development, but that time has passed. The newly elected City Council has been stopped at every avenue to try and do their job by the mayor. You only have to attend the council meetings or town hall meetings to witness the frustra-

October 19 , 2012 [7] tion of the council. This isn’t going to change with so much at stake financially for the master developer.

My observation is that the council, which represents the people, are being kept in the dark on many important issues only to learn things at the last minute or from the citizens. They lack timely information and at times when they are provided information from staff and legal counsel is appears biased and serves only the city administration.

Additionally, they are being treated disrespectfully in public by staff. This is shameful.

Years ago the mayorcouncil system worked.

Even if you had an opposing view with the mayor they would sit and listen and discuss the issues with you. Now you are either an opponent or proponent. For example, if you have a different view than the Mayor than you are an adversary.

Difficult and complex decision shouldn’t be made based on personnel feelings; it should be on what is best for all the taxpayers.

We don’t need the master developer’s trickle down economics here!

One should also note that you are not losing your city. There is no move for disincorporation — the city will still be here either way.

This is a scare tactic that those voted out of office overwhelmingly want you to believe. They want to confuse you with similar looking signs and scare you with cost and change.

My father fought in WWII so people could be free to speak their minds and have the rights afforded us to organize and speak our minds. So I am speaking my mind. When you see signs that say, “Save your right to vote for mayor,� I ask you to just simply save your rights.

They are being trampled on over and over again.

Our family has long ties with Black Diamond, my husband was a City Council member, my sister-in-law was the first city clerk and I personally worked to start the first senior center.

We continue to have family and interest in Black Diamond and will be directly impacted by the huge tax increases needed to pay for the proposed seven schools required by the MPDs. We need a professional government in Black Diamond that work with the ESD and their taxpayers. I will always love Black Diamond. My husband is buried there and my heart and 46 years of memories reside by his side.

Please vote yes for Prop 1.

have grown south of it, as the city in fact did, particularly in the first decade after incorporation.

On smaller matters, this might have meant the Gracie Hansen center, which was moved from the 1961 Seattle World’s Fair to Ravensdale to use as a community center, was simply demolished and thrown away.

The Ravensdale Cemetery would have also been in far better condition than it is today. After repeated acts of vandalism, in which graves were desecrated and tombstones destroyed, it is currently in disrepair.

On a bigger scale, however, this could have meant the local politics and issues could have been totally different. The donut hole, a large chunk of property owned

by King County in the center of Maple Valley, might have been a moot point if the rest of the area remained unincorporated as well.

Whatever the outcome may have been, it is remarkable how a small town’s worst fears realized and the lives of 31 men could become the defining moment for a much larger community more than half a century later.

tion would not reach Ravensdale’s 1915 size until 1990 and the city would not incorporate until 1997.

If Ranvesdale had remained an incorporated city or town, thus remaining inside the county’s UGB, it might have drawn much of the development Maple Valley would eventually experience.

Maple Ridge, a neighborhood that wasn’t annexed into Maple Valley until 2009, might have instead been annexed into Ravensdale, mirroring the city of Snoqualmie.

Rather than be the center of residential development, Maple Valley might have retained its rural roots, much like North Bend which, while experiencing modest growth, has not seen the same level as Snoqualmie.

A more fascinating proposition is that Maple Valley and Ravensdale could have switched places, with Maple Valley remaining an unincorporated community and Ravensdale the bedroom community.

Ironically enough, the area originally called Maple Valley was not included in the county’s UGB. Therefore, any town that might have incorporated would

Winterizing in deer country and the lone lawn rangers the fruit right off the trees. I use a combination of things to try and keep deer damage under control. On my roses I use a deer repellent spray called Bobbex that is made from eggs, cloves, and garlic oil. I make sure the new growth is sprayed in the spring and fall in order to teach the deer that my roses have a nasty flavor. We grow native plants and deer resistant plant material along the edges or border of our two acres, keeping the “deer candy� closer to the house. A motion detector that sprays water and uses noise to hit the deer that permeate this perimeter has helped to say “Not tonight deer� but the best control for any wild life is a fence. Feed and farm supply stores sell rolls of webbed plastic deer fencing in a dark color that blends in with the landscape and is just about invisible tacked up from tree to tree.

This type of fence works well unless you have ripe apples.

A strong and sturdy fence at least seven feet high is the ultimate solution to the deer problem - so we are adding more fence lines.

Q. This last year our rhubarb plants turned yellow and weak. Never before have they Marianne Binetti

The Compleat Home Gardener

The third week of October is time to winterize the patio furniture and vegetable garden, roll up the hoses and stow away the mowing machine. Here in Western Washington we do have some mild winter days that allow lawn rangers to continue to edge and mow the lawn but as the days grow shorter that lawn goes dormant so one final trim and you have a great excuse to mow no more. Neat and tidy gardeners may want to edge the entire lawn before throwing in the trowel on maintenance. No matter what shape your lawn, creating a crisp edge to define the grass from the planting areas will make the whole yard look well-maintained all winter long.

Q. What do you do about deer control? I know you live in deer country and I don’t see how you can grow all those plants you write about with deer in your yard! I really want to know your secret.

G.H., Email A. Oh deer! It is no secret that I must share my garden with wild life. Just this fall a doe and her adorable twin fawns insisted on destroying a plastic netting fence in order to feast on our apples - ripped

done so poorly. Do you think it is a seasonal problem or should we replace the soil? H., Enumclaw A. Lot of folks including me had a disappointing year for rhubarb - but I’ve also heard of gardeners that said this was their best rhubarb year ever.

The solution to this mystery may never be known but rhubarb does respond well to a manure mulch in early spring.

If your rhubarb plants have been in the ground longer than five years it may be time to dig and divide the thick roots or just toss them out and start with fresh rhubarb plants in early spring.

Q. My blueberry plants usually do well but this year some of the berries turned dry and hard before they ripened.

I have heard there is a disease called “mummy berry� infecting blueberries. What should I do to treat my plants? T.R., Olympia A. Get out the rake and clean up under your infected plants to stop the mummies from unraveling and moving on to other berry bushes.

Mummy berry is a fungus among us encouraged by cool, wet springs. Cleaning up around the plants in the fall will help to prevent the fungal spores from over wintering and reinfecting the blueberries in the spring. The long dry spell in late summer was

and will they come back and bloom next year? P., Longview A. Yes, most mum plants are perennial and will return year after year if you plant them into loose, fertile soil.

But you will have to pinch back the new growth at least twice in the spring and summer if you want to keep mum plants compact and full of blooms. This means cutting off the top third of the new growth in the month of May

and again in July to force more side branching and budding on the recycled plants.

Chrysanthemums also need full sun and should never be allowed to dry out as they wilt quickly. All this mum maintenance is why buying potted mums already in bud is worth the investment. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel guilty about adding potted plants past their prime to the compost pile. We all need more compost.

...HEALTHY LIVING

October a chance to get into healthy breast care habits

BY SHELLY DONALDSON, RN MultiCare Health System

Here it is October again.

The cool crisp nights and the leaves changing colors, wait a minute â&#x20AC;Ś why everything is pink? What is this all about? October is

Breast Cancer Awareness month and you will see in stores, shopping malls, on our food packaging and on the street that everything has suddenly turned pink.

It is all about saving lives. It is about the fight to find a

cure for breast cancer and in doing so helping to find treatments and a cure for other cancers as well. This October I would like to review what the latest recommendations are from the American Cancer Society to

help you wade through all the conflicting information in the news and to help you be on track with your breast cancer screenings.

STARTING IN YOUR 20S Breast self-exam is an option for women starting in

their 20s. Recent research suggests that breast self exams play a small role in women finding their own breast lumps. The American Cancer Society recommends â&#x20AC;&#x153;know what is normalâ&#x20AC;? for you.

This means not only being aware of the lumps and bumps that are normal for you but looking for any skin changes (redness, rash, dimpling or inverted nipples). Knowing what is normal helps you know when something is abnormal.

Be sure that you report any changes to your health care provider right away.

In your 20s and 30s Women in their 20s and 30s should have a clinical breast exam every three years by their health care professional.

A clinical breast exam, done by a health care professional, gives women a chance to speak to their providers about any problems or changes that they have noticed.

It is also a good time to ask about breast self-exam techniques and to discuss risk factors that may increase your chance of getting breast cancer. [ more HABITS page 11 ]

Decayed or decaying baby teeth can potentially represent active infection in the mouth. Anytime there is infection in the body or mouth, it requires immediate attention by a physician or dentist, respectively. Long term, if baby teeth are left to rot, fall out, or get extracted, there is greater potential for permanent teeth to grow in and shift requiring future orthodontic care.

XXX DPWJOHUPOSFQPSUFS DPN t XXX NBQMFWBMMFZSFQPSUFS DPN [ SURVEY from page 1 ] with businesses, area organizations and possibly higher education institutions such as Green River Community College and Renton Technical College.

The way to find that out was to ask what the community wants.

A number of respondents specifically asked for Trader Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Target, a movie theater, bowling alley, craft stores, independently owned restaurants, more restaurants particularly upscale dining, as well as more recreational activities both indoors and outdoors that are family-friendly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I find myself traveling to Kent, Auburn, South Center and even the Eastside for entertainment,â&#x20AC;? one respondent wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Covington needs a theater or some other form of entertain-

ment such as bowling alley or skating.â&#x20AC;?

Another comment indicated the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-term vision for its town center needs to be realized sooner rather than later. The comment suggested a place which is pedestrian friendly with quaint shops as well as a farmers market in the spring and summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Covington is difficult because it has no personality, a highway running down the center,â&#x20AC;? the respondent wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plenty of shopping center but none provide a gathering place for our great community of citizens. I really believe that mixed use is the future with condos or (apartments) above the businesses.â&#x20AC;?

More than 62 percent of respondents said the primary deterrent to shopping in downtown Covington is traffic congestion. Another

element of the survey was intended to gauge what kinds of classes Green River Community College could offer that would appeal to residents. Computer and technology courses, cooking classes as well as health and fitness offerings got the most votes.

Covington City Manager Derek Matheson wrote in an email that there are two primary ways the city has used the data from the survey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve shared it with the City Council, Chamber Board, and CEDC to aid their future decisions about economic development,â&#x20AC;?

Matheson wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;CEDC discussed it at length last month and observed that our community remains very consistent about its economic-development priorities.â&#x20AC;?

A mammogram has limitations but it is still the best screening tool that we have to find breast cancers early, when they are treatable. Mammograms alone are not enough. Women need to use all the tools (breast self-exam, clinical breast exam, mammograms) in their arsenal, including their biggest and

Noah Adam, left, and Cory Cox, have helped the Tahoma boys tennis team to a remarkable turnaround this season from 2-8 in league in 2011 to 7-3 this year including two wins over Kentwood. KRIS HILL, The Reporter â&#x20AC;&#x153;To me it just shows the physical manifestation of all our hard work,â&#x20AC;? Adam said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of these guys have worked their butts off in the offseason which showed in the Kentwood matches.â&#x20AC;?

Adam had high expectations for Tahomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential in the league tournament, too, saying he was confident the guys who were playing would win their first-round matches and he hoped they could continue to perform well against top tier players in the second round.

As far as who could make

it to the state tournament in the spring, Adam said the best bets were The Galgano brothers, Carter and Davis, as well as the doubles team of Cox and junior Joe Joe Jimenez. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carter Galgano is the glue that keeps us together,â&#x20AC;?

Adam said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely the hardest worker of all of us.â&#x20AC;?

At the end of the day, Adam said, he was pleased with where the Bears stood at the end of the regular season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the team I feel like

Cox is also confident of how the players who have moved on to the post-season will do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rest of this year, do the best that we can inSPSL and next year our goal is to take league,â&#x20AC;? Cox said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the daily, we all just work our hardest to be in the best physical shape.â&#x20AC;?

Kentwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Daly finds his place on the court tice regimen, Daly said, is the willingness to play in any given weather patterns. Forced to acclimate to different temperatures and surface conditions, it helped him improve aspects of his game in a way indoor tennis could not. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The balls are heavy and slow and you have to make sure you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trip because the courts really slippery,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It adds a new element to the game.

There are some players that go to the indoor club and never have to experience the rain or sun or wind, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m constantly experiencing that and working it into my game, so I when I go against players in the indoor club I have the advantage.â&#x20AC;?

While he has risen to the top at Kentwood, Daly said he is still trying to improve.

Though he performs well in singles matches, he said he loses most of his double matches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I consider myself more of a singles player,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like letting my teammate down, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m better at singles than doubles.â&#x20AC;?

Additionally, he has encountered strong competition from players such as Kentridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s James Dungan â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who took ninth at state last year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Kentlakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Derek Welch. Kentridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boys tennis team hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lost a league match in six years . â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a couple stressful matches,â&#x20AC;? Daly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a lot harder to make a transition into varsity.â&#x20AC;?

If his humble beginnings on the court are any indication, though, the transition should eventually smooth out.

Conquerors football remains undefeated

the second half.

Terence Grady put the Conks ahead on a 31-yard touchdown reception from Dane Manio with 9 minutes, 34 seconds left in the third quarter.

Grady, who is listed at 6-foot-4, outran the Tahoma defender to haul in the pass in the back of the end zone to put the Conks up 19-13.

With little more than two minutes left in the third quarter, the Conks defense helped out its offense which turned over the ball on downs, when the ball was fumbled by the Bears at the 10 which allowed Kentwood to recover it in the endzone for a touchdown.

After a failed two-point conversion Kentwood led 25-13.

Turnovers were the theme for the fourth quarter as Tahoma fumbled the ball then Manio threw an interception, a tip pick snagged by Elijah Suka for the Bears, followed by a short drive for Tahoma.

Ryan Dozier put a punctuation mark on the game for Kentwood when he punched it in from four yards out with 3:45 left in the game. That was his second touchdown of the contest.

Kentwood hosts Auburn Riverside at 7 p.m. Thursday at French Field.

KENTLAKE RUNS OVER KENTRIDGE

As the dust settled on the gridiron following week seven of South Puget Sound League 4A North schedule, the battle for playoff spots got a little more interesting.

Kentwood, with its victory over Tahoma Oct. 12, remains undefeated in league play at 7-0 and atop the division standings. In the second spot is Auburn which lost its opening contest to Kentwood.

Tied for third is Kentlake and Tahoma, both sitting at 4-2.

That situation will shake

STRONG SECOND HALF SEPARATES KENTWOOD Tahoma and Kentwood were tied 13-13 coming out of the locker room at halftime.

along with widening it to five lanes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; two eastbound and two westbound lanes along with a center turn lane. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As part of that process we put together an advisory committee of business owners and a couple of neighborhood representatives and homeowners there to help design it,â&#x20AC;? Akramoff said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tried to get a diverse group to address their concerns before we get to final design.â&#x20AC;?

Next on the list is a project which will start this month in the Aqua Vista neighborhood. A grant from the Department of Ecology will fix the neighborhoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stormwater system as well as a road that is tilted the wrong way which causes it to flood.

That cost comes out to $136,000. Akramoff said the city went after a grant because after a bid was put

out for the project, the estimates came in too high so the grant money will cover the difference.

Fourth on the list is a grant, also through the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supplemental transportation budget, to pulverize and then do an asphalt overlay between 156th Street Southeast and 160th out to 261st, Akramoff said.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be designed early next year with it slated for a summer construction timeline funded by a $380,000 grant.

jobs which we support 100 percent,â&#x20AC;? Akramoff said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The challenge with that is the consultants who do the design, they have jobs, too. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the small and medium sized cities get hurt, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have design staff, we have to hire a consultant.â&#x20AC;?

In order to overcome those challenges, Covington developed this strategy, one which has been successful so far.

Akramoff noted that grant-giving agencies know the city comes to the process with whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commonly known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;shovel-ready projects,â&#x20AC;? in other words, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been designed and engineered, all the city needs is the money to get the work done.

All the hard work started to deliver results late in 2011 and at the beginning of this year. Those efforts

the application 10 intersections were identified as places which need work and the city was award $250,000. He anticipates the city will begin using that money in early 2013 with an eye toward hiring a design consultant for those projects by the end of this year. That funding comes from federal dollars but is distributed by the state DOT. Second on the list is another federally funded grant that is distributed through the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supplemental transportation budget. The city was award $800,000 for the next phase of improvements on Kent Kangley Road which will widen the street, also known as Southeast 272nd or state Route 516, from the Jenkins Creek Bridge to 185th Street Southeast.

A new bridge will need to be put in, Akramoff said,

were supported by the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recently retired lobbyist, Dick Little, who helped with securing grant money during legislative sessions the past four years.

Additionally, Akramoff said, Covington has looked outside its limits to make getting grant funding easier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also do a lot of partnerships outside, so we also seek support for our grants and provide it to our partner cities and the school district,â&#x20AC;? Akramoff said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also done it internally where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done joint grant applications (with other departments).â&#x20AC;?

By late September the city had scored six grants.

First on the list is the 2012 City Safety Program which focuses on intersection safety. Akramoff said staff from the Washington state Department of Transportation invited Covington apply for the grant. In

Valley Girls & Guys, founded by Ravensdale resident Tina McDonough, has partnered with Trapperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sushi in Covington raise money to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

Customers can go to Trapperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Covington for dinner from 5-9 p.m. Oct. 22 and 100 percent of proceeds will go to the Komen Foundation.

McDonoughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team, which she formed five years ago to honor a friend she lost to breast cancer, has grown to 160 members and tackles the annual Komen Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3 Day Walk for the Cure. This year the team raised more than $300,000.

Find Valley Girls & Guys on Facebook for more information.

The Greater Maple Valley Community Center will host a Haunted House Friday and Saturday, Oct. 26-27 and Oct. 29-30.

Regular admission is $7 per person to go once through the haunted house and receive a free glow bracelet or pay only $10 per person to go twice through and receive a free glow necklace.

Glow accessories ($1 to $5) are also available for sale while supplies last.

The haunted house will be put on by Maple Valley Youth Council and The Den Youth Center. Proceeds benefit Youth Council year-round activities and events at The Den. For more information please email Kristiane or call the Community Center at 425-432-1272.
