Maple Valley residents face either paying an extra $20 for their license tab renewals for road infrastructure or cuts in city park programs and other services. The Maple Valley City Council is considering a proposal for a transportation benefit district which would provide an estimated $320,000 annually towards maintaining, improving and preserving existMAPLE ing transportaVALLEY tion facilities. The proposal comes at a time when revenue from the city’s real estate excise tax, which is currently used to provide $300,000 for the asphalt overlay program, dropped from $2 million in 2006 to $700,000 presently. According to the City Council agenda packet for its meeting
A rumor about the future of the Black Diamond Police Department caused an uproar in the past week. The rumor snowballed after a meeting Oct. 16 between Mayor Rebecca Olness, Council member Tamie Deady, Council member Carol Benson and City Administrator Pete Butkus. During the meeting, according to Butkus, BLACK the Black DIAMOND Diamond City Council members discussed aspects of the budget, such as what city services YarrowBay pays for, the reliability of the city’s revenue figures and which local governments in the state have enacted a transportation benefit district (TBD). This conversation also included

Clayopatra Arts Studio brings low-cost art to the community BY KRIS HILL khill@maplevalleyreporter.com
KellySue Robinson wants to bring art to the masses with her new studio in Maple Valley. Robinson, who lives in Maple Valley, opened Clayopatra Arts Studio July 15 in a building just off Maple Valley Highway. Originally from Punxsatawney, Penn., she moved to Maple Valley six years ago with her husband, John Phillips, and their children.
Along the way she lived in Montana and Illinois. Her first foray into clay was years ago. “When I was living in Illinois I had two small kids at home and my husband traveled a lot,” Robinson said. “I was about ready to lose it. My husband saw that I was about to lose it, signed me up for a pottery class remembering that one time I said I wanted to try it when I had time. I loved it.” When her family settled in

Maple Valley Robinson discovered there wasn’t anything in the area similar to what she had done in Illinois. Then she was connected with the art docent program at Rock Creek Elementary. At that point the only thing Robinson didn’t know how to do with clay was fire it in a kiln. At Rock Creek she learned how to do it without blowing anything up. She also learned some other useful clay techniques such as how to build pieces without a pottery wheel. “I started wanting to teach because I noticed at Rock Creek, we designed the (art docent) [ more CLAYOPATRA page 6 ]

Among the requests were for information about regional police service reports. According to both Deady and Benson, they mentioned during the meeting they had spoken to King County Sheriff Steve Strachan six months ago at an event, during which he offered to make a contract bid for police services if they requested it. Both Deady and Benson said there was no further contact with Strachan after that meeting. It is not clear how the rumor got started. According Scott Oak, a representative of the Black Diamond Police Officers Association, ongoing rumors within the department about contracting was discussed during a meeting with Olness prior to the meeting with Deady and Benson.

“I told them I had absolutely no idea it was considered,� Olness said. Through the end of Monday the Reporter received more than 10 letters to the editor, the majority of which were related to this issue. The issue was also discussed during the public comment period at the Oct. 18 City Council meeting. Many of the letters accused the City Council of trying to dismantle the police department in favor of contracting through the Sheriff ’s Office, a charge Benson said is unfounded. Benson stated they merely discussed possibilities of where to cut or change services, which also included police services. She also said they looked at the possibility of partnering with Maple Valley for police services. Deady said she is looking at ways to improve services at a lower cost, but does not want to get rid of the police department. “I grew up with the police department here,� Deady said. “I was really

Maybe we could cut back on some services or find something in the budget without losing a single police officer. The police expenditures accounted for 33 percent of the city’s budget in 2012, according to the city’s 2012 final budget document, which can be found on the Black Diamond website, www.ci.blackdiamond. wa.us. It is the single largest expenditure for the city. The public safety fund expenditure, which includes court services, fire, police, utilities and animal control, was 57.4 percent. Maple Valley’s 2012 public safety expenditures was a little more than $4 million, 21 percent of its $19 million budget.

City At A Crossroads How the 2001 election shaped Covington Going to a Covington City Council meeting in 2001 was like witnessing the gunfight at the O.K. Corral. With a strongly divided council, the Kentwood Performing Arts Center would be packed with hundreds of residents concerned about various proposals for commercial zoning directly adjacent to neighborhoods. There council members would engage in personal attacks and shouting matches that made regional headlines. The combination of bitter infighting, a perceived lack of resident input, as well as little long-term vision for how to manage the recent spurt of growth, led Wayne Snoey, Mark Lanza, and Tim Goddard to run for City Council in the November 2001 election. After being elected, the new council pushed for the creation of a long term vision for the city via the comprehensive plan, as well as the creation of an economic development commission. This new makeup on the council helped restore civic participation in Covington’s young municipal government and manage business growth in a more controlled fashion. Although media at the time portrayed the elections as a battle between rural and suburb, the feud had less to do with political differences and more to do with contrasting personalities and varying approaches
to managing an infant city amid of massive growth.
LABOR PAINS The city of Covington, originally called Jenkins Prairie, was settled around 1900 by Northern Pacific Railway when the company built tracks to link it with Auburn and Kanaskat. None of the original Northern Pacific buildings still stand. During the next several decades, Covington’s population grew mainly as an extension out of Kent, though much of it remained rural. The state’s Growth Management Act in 1990 would change all this by requiring counties to establish urban and rural designated areas. When King County drew up its Urban Growth Boundary in 1993, it placed the Covington area within the urban boundary, ensuring that it would absorb a portion of the growth in the county. Shortly after the city incorporated in 1997, the Covington Water District lifted its five-year moratorium on water rights, which former mayor Pat Sullivan said led to massive development growth. Developers, who had been waiting for the opportunity to build, poured into the area, which caused the population to skyrocket. But as this occurred, residents found they had little say over the process. Some of the development standards were sorely lacking, according to Mayor Margaret Harto, who has lived in the Covington area for more than
40 years. “Unfortunately most of those developments ended up with no sidewalks,� Harto said. “Open storm drain, storm water went off into the ditch between your yard and the road. Where it ended up who knows? It was that kind of growth that caused us to want to incorporate because we didn’t have a say.� Covington would elect its first council in April 1997 in order to have basic city services when it officially incorporated Aug 31. 1977, the same day as the city of Maple Valley. At first, the City Council banned commercial development until it could hire the necessary staff to handle the growth. However, within three years, the infant city would find itself caught in a civil war.
DEVELOPMENT DISPUTES Among the most controversial council decisions pertained to commercial and business zoning, particularly near neighborhoods. Snoey said he first became interested in the council after a proposal was made for neighborhood commercial zoning near his Foxwood neighborhood, located northeast of Kentwood High at 180th Avenue Southeast and Southeast 256th Street. At the time, Council member Alice Matz argued for allowing zoning for large box stores in order to increase the tax base, while the council minority favored centering develop-

ment in the downtown area and zoning for smaller businesses. As the president of the Foxwood Homeowners Association (HOA), Snoey started to attend the meetings to see how the zoning would affect his neighborhood. It was then Snoey said he realized how dire the situation was. “They did not have a clue on how things should operate or how things should be done,� Snoey said. “Seeing actual operation of the council majority I got very concerned and ultimately that’s what motivated me to run for office. Frankly, the council majority did not seem to have the experience to understand what they were doing.� Ultimately, the council approved the neighborhood commercial zoning. Sullivan stated there were also other problems residents had, such as a composting facility that had a very strong odor coming from it. “It would just make you sick,� Sullivan said. “The council at that time, the four (in majority) didn’t want to do anything about it.� The council had also had fights previously with the city’s Planning Commission in a battle over Covington’s comprehensive plan, which was designed to help guide the city over 20 years in term of development. One particular battle was over the council’s decision to lift a moratorium on new commercial development

in 2000. At the time, members of the council majority argued the city needed more tax revenue due to the passage of Initiative 695, which placed a flat $30 fee on the vehicle excise tax. Harto stated having the Planning Commission in front of the council was like sitting in a “Chinese Junior high school cafeteria.� “Every staff member’s heads were down until they were asked to speak,� she said. “The lack of respect and dignity among the council members and staff and for minority of council members was huge.� At the same time, there was also a noticeable disconnect between the council and the residents, many of whom felt their views
were ignored. According to a Seattle Times article dated July 13, 2000, during a meeting a council member shouted at residents present, “You’re here as listeners only!� As a result residents and council members tried to shout over each other. Councilman Mark Lanza said he first started to attend meetings after a friend said he had to see it to believe it. “It was entertaining, but not in a good way,� Lanza said. “We were the laughing stock of south King County.� He said the impression residents got was that zoning changes were being made irrespective of how [ more COVINGTON page 5]
XXX DPWJOHUPOSFQPSUFS DPN t XXX NBQMFWBMMFZSFQPSUFS DPN [COVINGTON from page 4] residents of neighborhoods felt, even when 400 people would show up at public hearings.
RUMBLE IN THE SSCOVINGTON JUNGLE Unfortunately, when they weren’t busy shouting at citizens, according to the Seattle Times, the council members were shouting at each other, one even calling another a “Nazi.� The council was split, 4-3, on most decisions. The council majority at the time was made up of Julie Holbrook, Jesse Ackerson, Herb Wilson and Matz. The council minority was made up of Sullivan, Rebecca Clark and Geoff Simpson, who went on to serve in the state Legislature. “It was bad,� Snoey said. “There was fighting, gavel grabbing. There were all kinds of weird things happening.� One of the council member’s wives even led a recall effort against a member of the council majority. A King County Superior Court judge, however, ruled the recall was not needed. Another low point, Lanza said, was when City Manager Pat Nevins was secretly asked by the council majority to step down. He announced he would resign, only to later rescind it when he learned the council would not give him severance pay. He eventually left and was replaced by Andy Dempsey, who first served as the city’s public works director. Snoey finally decided to seek a position on the council
when he realized he had only three options: put up with it, move, or run for office. “I carefully avoided politics in general, but I got motivated that year because of the process,â€? Snoey said. “I care about my community ‌ I saw it was breaking the community apart in many different ways.â€? Lanza said he threw his hat in the ring, so to speak, after Sullivan and Simpson suggested he run.
ELECTION AND BEYOND During the general election, Snoey ran against newcomer Robert Cochran when Matz announced she wouldn’t seek reelection, leaving a possibility of breaking up the council majority. Lanza ran against Herb Wilson and Robert Millard, while Goddard, who had also entered the race, ran against Holbrook. Wilson would later lose during the primary election against Lanza and Millard. In a South County Journal article June, 7, 2001, written by Dean Radford who is now editor of the Renton Reporter, Goddard and Snoey also criticized the lack of etiquette expressed at City Council meetings and disconnect between the council and residents. “The biggest issue is putting the people’s voice back into what the city should be doing,� Snoey told the Journal. In retrospect, Snoey and Lanza said the mutual decision to run by the three of them was uncoordinated, but had similar reasons. “We had never met each

October 26 , 2012 [5] preventing growth entirely. Instead, the election seemed to decide in what manner Covington would grow, with long term planning in mind or in a more sporadic, in-the-moment fashion, Harto said. She stated that the council majority’s assertion in 2000 the city needed new sales tax revenue was correct. Rather, the problem lay in what was seen as a lack of planning, which might have resulted in a more disorganized zoning. “The city really suffered a complete lack of real professional leadership experience,� Snoey said. “The problem in my opinion was there was no long term plan. It was based on who spent the most time with them (council members) trying to convince them of their individual needs as opposed to the big picture for the community, and frankly the atmosphere was corrosive and divisive. And it was getting worse.� Even if the council had continued down the path it was on, there were certain outcomes regardless. One of them was growth. “The city was ripe for commercial growth,� Lanza said. “We would have had sales tax growth, but not as successful.� At the same time, Harto questioned whether the corrosive environment on the council would have scared away potential businesses. “It would have continued to be chaos because there was this difference, huge difference of opinion of how the city should be operated,� she said. One clear variation,
however, would have been the atmosphere among the city staff and council, which Harto described as “night and day.� In that sense, the campaign demonstrated that in several races either candidate could have more or less ended the strife on the council. While before it was difficult to get people to volunteer for committees, Harto said they had twice as many people apply for the budget priorities advisory council than positions. “We have a broad spectrum of opinions but the common thing we do is we treat each other with respect and dignity so when we’re done we can go to Applebee’s and have a beer,� the mayor said. It’s also fair to say the city wouldn’t have the same large retail businesses in the downtown area they have today. According to a South County Journal article dated Oct. 23, 2001, “There’s no guarantee that even one big box store, which could generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in sales tax revenue, will locate in Covington.� Today there is Costco, Kohl’s, Fred Meyer, Home Depot, Safeway, as well as medium box businesses such as Walgreens, Big Five, Big Lots! as well as restaurants such as The Rock Wood Fired Pizza, Red Robin, Mizu, and Trapper’s Sushi. Had the council not changed in that election and the internal strife continued, the observation made in the Journal might not have had the same irony it does today.

Prop. 1 would not be in the best interest of community I wanted to thank Howard Botts for his sincere support of Black Diamond and its current governing body. As Black Diamond’s mayor for over 26 years, Mr. Botts can speak with authority and intimate knowledge of our city’s government and future development with YarrowBay. I have never been one to get involved in politics. However, as a Black Diamond resident for 60 years, I have a vested interest in how this community thrives and survives. I am speaking out now as I feel this proposed change to our city’s form of government will not be in the best interest of our community and my home. These are troubled times. Many people are unhappy with some of the plans for future development with the planned communities of YarrowBay. However, changing the structure of our city’s government to include a city manager in place of a mayor is not going to resolve any issues only add confusion. Maintaining the control with elected officials with vested interests in their community, such as the mayor and council members, maintains consistency and keeps Black Diamond in the hands of the community - our community. We, as citizens, do not need the added expense of hiring a city manager and reserve the right to change our mayor or council members during regular elections. Hiring a city manager, from within or outside our community, is an added expense we do not need to undertake. Let’s keep level heads and not be reactionary. Hasty decisions tend to have poor results.

Anti-growth faction wants to ‘sacrifice’ police department
Scan this code and start receiving local news on your mobile device today!
October 26 , 2012 [7]
It is budget time in Black Diamond. The council is struggling. It has to look seriously at very unpopular choices. The most striking is a proposal to eliminate the city’s police department and begin contracting with the King County Sheriff ’s Offce for police protection. It must also consider eliminating police officer positions and thereby accepting that the city may have inadequate police coverage for several hours each day. It is also considering raising fees on city water, sewer and storm water utilities. It will consider reinstituting the B&O (business and occupation) tax on our city businesses which has been shown to hurt the types of businesses we have in town and kill investment in expansion and jobs. These are all proposals. There have been no decisions as yet. Attend the next budget work study meeting at 4 p.m. Oct. 29 and let the council know that you
want to protect those who protect us. We voters need to be aware that if the form of government is changed, this council can do whatever it wants because there will be no elected mayor with the power to veto a move to King County police. Yes, a veto can be overridden but your mayor will fight for you. A change in government will also allow the council to raise certain fees without the vote of the people and no elected mayor to balance their powers. We must defeat Proposition 1. Although some may try to spin it otherwise, this budget shortfall is a consequence of the movement to stop or delay economic development which would have brought money into the general fund not only from action on the Master Planned Developments but also from ancillary businesses which would see a future in Black Diamond. In response to a few citizen demands to the council, with no public hearing, Proposition 1 was forced onto the ballot at a cost of over $5,000. The council must now budget for a city manager at a cost of $75,000 more than our city administrator and mayor working in unison. Legal costs continue to rise due to continuing, unsuccessful court actions taken or supported by some Black Diamond citizens and out-of-towners wanting to stop YarrowBay. This has caused the city to be placed in a higher risk category and liability insurance has increased 15 percent. This is your money. Property revenues are flat. Sales tax revenues from local businesses are flat. No sales tax revenue growth is forecasted for existing businesses for 2013. Building permits and housing starts, which bring money into the general fund, are nearly nonexistent. Why would any company want to locate, build or invest in a city that is so anti-business (remember B&O) and exhibits such a contested path to future growth? Black Diamond cannot be kept in a time capsule. This council needs to find ways to spur growth and increase revenues. For the last 20 years, prior councils, working with mayors and staff, have strived to put the city on a path to financial stability — allowing growth not only to pay for growth but to also help offset other increasing costs for the city. This council was overwhelmingly voted into office to stop growth‌and look where we are! Do we really want to sacrifice our police department to satisfy the desires of the anti-growth faction to oust the mayor? Changing the form of government will give the council the sole power
to raise utility rates and to destroy our police department. Please vote NO on Prop. 1.
Bill Boston Black Diamond
Don’t get rid of Black Diamond Police Department I made a last minute decision Oct. 18t to attend the Black Diamond City Council meeting because of a rampant rumor the council was considering eliminating the police department and contracting to King County for their services. The backlash of this idea was brutal. Many people came out specifically for this topic and made their opinions very clear. This is not an option! Councilman May stated this city is in the red about $250,000 for the 2013 budget and they are looking for cost cutting ideas. Let’s be clear about that figure ‌ they are trying to figure out how to pay for a city manager, should it be approved with the passing of Prop 1 in November. Under Mayor Olness’ term, she has balanced the budget the last two years and it has come with many tough decisions which include freezing or suspending certain positions or projects but has never included eliminating our local police department. This city’s history is rich in tight community relations with its citizens. At the center of that is our local police department. They are a tightly woven part of our community. They are more than just faceless, nameless people driving around in patrol cars. We know their names, about their families, they attend city functions, they are involved in our schools and help shape our kid’s futures. Many of them live in the immediate region and have a vested interest in this city. Both Chief Kiblinger and Officer Chatterson started their police careers here and have never worked anywhere else. Sergeant Lynch was a reserve officer here before being hired elsewhere and then transferred back at his first chance. All of the officers are here by choice and want to be here and do an excellent job. That is not the case with The King County [ more LETTERS page 4 ]
Sheriff ’s Office. I know this because I spent four years pursuing a police job and was subsequently hired by a large city department up north. I walked away from that department two weeks later when I realized it did not fit my personal criteria or family responsibilities. During that time I did roughly 25 ride alongs with many departments. I rode with the KCSO about eight times and continue to do so as I have made many friends through these rides. The KCSO is a department in crisis and it does not have that main element of being tightly woven into the community like our local police department is. They can’t because of their structure. Their officers do tours and are rotated and cycled through different cities and precincts. Many of them have different career aspirations and move up the KCSO ladder and hop around for resume experience to qualify them for better opportunities. It is a department for which its
police departments going under and to new start up cities. They take to providing a Costco shopping type service to its customers. It is very impersonal. Internally KCSO is politically divided over leadership and is just too big. This November election could very well bring in their third leader in two years. A recent budget audit has put them under a microscope and the closest precinct to us was shut down. The end result is no personal connection to them like we have here. Black Diamond would most likely be absorbed, not contracted. This means existing officers in the area would have added territory, not added officers. The biggest downside to this is the response times are much longer. As a citizen you don’t know when they will arrive. Ask anyone outside the city limits about this. People by Horseshoe Lake and Lake No. 12 as well as Lake Sawyer residents prior to annexation can tell you
XXX DPWJOHUPOSFQPSUFS DPN t XXX NBQMFWBMMFZSFQPSUFS DPN many stories. As an officer, your back up could be 20 miles away. I personally saw this on many occasions and remember a situation with possible armed suspects in a burglary situation out near Cumberland. He had the suspects at gunpoint, alone. His back up took 20 minutes to arrive and we were fortunate to receive assistance from a state trooper who was closer. He only took 10 minutes to show up. Even that is way too long. Do you honestly think a KCSO officer will put his life on the line knowing he has no prompt back up? Don’t count on it. As someone at the council meeting said, “Our department’s value is measured in more than just dollars.� Councilman Taylor stated he was shocked at the outcry from just a rumor. He stated that if it were a serious subject there would be a study done and a public hearing. Do you mean like the one done for the change in government structure? Oh wait you guys decided to not have one and ignore your citizen’s in-

Don’t be misled, vote no on Prop. 1 Election time. This year, Black Diamond voters have a decision to make regarding the form of government for their town. Prop. 1 asks whether Black Diamond should switch from a Mayor-Council to a Council-Manager form of government. I am voting No on Prop. 1. Save our Rural Town? According to the Yes on Prop. 1 campaign, the new city council needs
submitted letters to the city council, staff, and planning commission regarding this and other issues. I have read the letters to the editor and corresponding comments about Prop. 1. Unfortunately since the city council chose not to engage in an inclusive public process, a process that would have included a discussion of the pros and cons of such a change, the voters are forced to try to discern what are facts and what are opinions. One thing I think most people in Black Diamond can agree on is that we all want what’s best for our City. Probably the other thing we can agree on is that each person’s vision of what is best for Black Diamond is as different as each individual. My vision of what’s best for Black Diamond is to keep our current system of government. I encourage you to join me in voting No on Prop. 1.

Whether Black Diamond has a mayor or city manager will not change that. Reform City Government? The Yes on Prop. 1 campaign says you can take back your city government by voting for the CouncilManager form of government. In addition, they claim that a professional is needed to guide the city through the hundreds of decisions that will be made over the next several years. Again, don’t be misled. Black Diamond has a city administrator in place. A Yes vote will not take back city government. It will give the administration of government to a city manager—a position not subject to voter approval. Presently I can vote for the mayor, so if I want a change in leadership I can make my voice heard at the polls. I have attended city council meetings and I have

Vote Pat Sullivan for state rep In these days of poor leadership by some elected leaders, we are very fortunate to have Pat Sullivan in the Legislature representing those of us in the 47th District. I have known Pat for over 11 years. I was first elected in 2001 to the Covington Council and served when Pat was Mayor. He
was later elected as a Representative to the Legislature in the position he currently holds. Pat is a man with very high ethics. He has worked very hard, on behalf of our community, to make things better. He is a strong supporter of the middle class because he is one of us. Pat recognizes the importance of good transportation systems, the value of a great education, the need to have effective and costefficient government and that jobs are the backbone of our communities. I have worked with the Legislature for many years, trying to promote the needs of our community. I do not know a Legislator that is more highly respected than Pat. His ability to “work across the aisle� with the other party is well-known. Pat is so modest; you would not really know much of this just talking with him. As House Majority Leader, he has great impact on the entire Legislature. We need to send Pat back this year with a resounding vote of support. My endorsement and our family vote are for Pat Sullivan.

Government isn’t the cure I don’t use marijuana. I support legalizing marijuana. Not because I believe it’s a wonder drug or because it’s harmless. Because we’ve done such a poor job of outlawing its use, same as for alcohol, tobacco and
firearms. More people may use it. More people will use it legally. Dry up the black market. Dry up the associated crime rate. I favor gay marriage. It’s a no-brainer for me. Some form of gay marriage has been legalized in several states now. Gays can serve openly in the military now. The sky hasn’t fallen. The world hasn’t come to an end. Despite all predictions to the contrary. People of legal age should be able to love people of legal age. They should be able to marry and be entitled to the rights thereunto pertaining - regardless of gender. Don’t like gay marriage? Don’t have one. Immigration and health care reform will be with us as long as the associated costs are. Other countries provide better coverage for less money. We’re number one (or so we’d like to think). The numbers say otherwise. Health care reform is an economic and health care outcome necessity. As long as there is a South America there will be a need for sensible immigration reform. As long as there are immigrants there will be a need for sensible immigration reform. There is no way to close all borders and engage with the world. There’s no way. We will either figure out how to get to sensible immigration reform or it will be forced upon those who resist it with every bone in their bodies because it’s long overdue and equally necessary. That’s what I support. That’s what I’ll vote for. Last, I don’t think government is the cure. See: http://www.seattleweekly. com/2012-10-10/news/ the-10-most-corrupt-tax-
loopholes/ I don’t expect Republicans to fix them. I don’t expect Democrats to fix them. I expect people fed up with such loopholes who elect Democrats or Republicans to fix them. I don’t expect big business to fix the problem. I don’t expect “free markets� to fix them. It hasn’t happened yet and it won’t as long as they benefit from a system the way it is to the extent they do. I don’t expect the next election to change that. Not at all. I vote to have a voice. I express my opinion in the hope of making a difference. I’m not holding my breath. We will figure it out. Hopefully before we exhaust all other alternatives. I’d still like to think we’re smarter than that. Despite evidence to the contrary.

October 26 , 2012 [9] my life, providing me healthy interactions with other kids that helped me to branch out and thrive, as well as challenges that helped motivate me to new heights. I loved the community, the competition, the excitement, the hard work. I loved the dedication and discipline. Prior to our coming to Maple Valley I had been an active participant in the Quizzing program at May Valley Alliance Church for two years, but when their team evaporated, I’d had to find a new church to continue my quizzing career. ABC became that church. I remember the first night I came to practice — I was nervous because I didn’t know any of the kids, but throughout my first few weeks of getting to know them, I experienced the most welcoming atmosphere from the friendliest people I have ever met. They embraced my sister and I with love and acceptance, and grafted us into their family. Here we found healing, friendship, unconditional love. The people we met through ABC’s youth program are now our best and closest friends, and we couldn’t be more content. I strongly believe in the power of the Bible Quizzing program, specifically that of Alliance Bible Church, to impact lives. Not only do the quizzers themselves benefit from the rigor and discipline that are integral elements of the program, but everyone around them is touched by their wisdom and discipline as well. Memorization of large portions of Biblical material presents a great challenge, but even greater reward. Some vital qualities and assets that I have gained as a result of the quizzing program are: the ability to memorize quickly and well, the ability to lead, men-
tor and advise, strategic thinking, self-discipline, and lasting friendships. Bible Quizzing has, through the years, built in me perseverence and, ultimately, character. Alliance Bible Church has made it possible for me to continue this wonderful sport, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. If there’s any program that deserves your monetary investment and support, it is ABC’s Bible Quizzing program, because when you invest in Quizzing, you invest in the next generation of dedicated, hardworking individuals ready to face the world with confidence and wisdom. A craft bazaar to fund the Quizzing program is set for 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday at Alliance Bible Church, 19320 S.E .240th Street, Covington. Caylee Bammer Maple Valley

Kentwood on collision course with Kentlake
CONKS GIRLS GOLF UNDEFEATED Kentwood girl's golf team had an undefeated season of 10-0 and won the South Puget Sound League tournament at Gold Mountain Cascade Golf Course Oct. 17-18. The team score to win was 466 strokes. Catherina Li was medalist with shots of 66 and 67. Ravae Canas placed third with shots of 69 and 76. Jamie Huo took fifth with 72 and 77. Stephanie Cogswell took ninth with 77 and 81. Rachel Weros shot 86 and 87. Alexandra Wisdom shot 96 and 108.
Undefeated Conquerors take on Falcons in final game of regular season at French Field
As the playoffs approach Kentwood continues its first-place run in the South Puget Sound League North football race while the rest of the teams in the division battle it out for the rest of the post-season berths.
Conks defense blocked a 34-yard field goal attempt by the Ravens’ Brandon Starks earlier in the period. Kentwood capped the scoring off with a 25-yard pass from Manio to Terence Grady. Kentwood takes on Kentlake Thursday at 7 p.m. at French Field.

KENTLAKE BREAKS AWAY FROM TAHOMA

Though the Ravens held the Conquerors to their lowest offensive output of the season, it proved to be enough Oct. 18 as Kentwood shut out Riverside 24-0. Chance Kalua-Fuimaono started the scoring off with a 10-yard touchdown run for Kentwood in the first quarter. Conks quarterback Dane Manio handed off to Dominic Lindstrom who punched it in from six yards out in the second quarter. Mitchell Cox, who also kicks extra points for Kentwood, hit a 30-yard field goal in the third quarter to make it 17-0 after the
By the end of the first half Oct. 19 it looked like the match up for the third spot in the SPSL North between Kentlake and Tahoma was going to be a shootout. Turns out the Falcons had a blowout in mind instead, as they came from behind in the second quarter to put together a 49-22 victory. Down 22-14 in the second period with less that five minutes on the clock, Kentlake quarterback Steffin Church threw a 23-yard strike to Marshall Jones after Jordan Laurencio returned the Tahoma punt from midfield to the Bears 25. Church pitched

With less that two minutes left in the first half, the Falcons scored twice, first on a 65-yard Laurencio punt return then with 10.1 seconds left on a 16-yard
pass from Church to Caleb Mathena to make it 36-22 Kentlake. From there, the Falcons never looked back as they tacked on another 13 points in the second half, while the defense held the Bears scoreless from there on out. Church finished the
game 10-for-18 passing with five touchdowns and 229 yards. Laurencio ran the ball seven times for 163 yards and a touchdown while Mathena ran the ball nine times for 95 yards. [ more COLLISION page 17 ]

CHLORINE TO CHEMO
How Tahoma swimmer Allie Duven has taken on Hodgkin’s lymphoma and plans to beat it then get back to the pool
was fine. On top of that, the glands in her neck were swollen. “They figured it was associated with being sick over the summer,� she said. “They gave me some antibiotics and they said, ‘Take them for 10 days and come back just to check and see how that’s going.’� When she went back, the lymph nodes in her neck were still quite swollen. At first she noticed the inflammation on the right side then the left. Initially, the doctors thought it might be mononucleosis. But, all the tests came back negative for mono or all of the other common causes. Duven then went to have an ultrasound done but it didn’t show anything. Her nurse practitioner referred her to a pediatric surgeon in Seattle. “Then we had to start over and retell the story to those doctors,� Duven said. “She did another exam and we did more blood work. Then we were kind of talking about different symptoms. We left (that doctor) and one of the last things she said was, ‘It might be lymphoma.’� At that point Duven started to get scared. After the ultrasound earlier in the week she thought she could check cancer off the list. They thought the
and B symptoms, with the latter being more severe. Once the results came back from the lung nodule biopsy it would be easier to determine what stage she was in but the doctors told Duven she was either Stage 2B or Stage 4B, which would have been more advanced and required aggressive chemo and radiation treatments. The doctors decided to start treating her with chemo. “I went in for my port placement and they admitted me,� Duven said. “They said, ‘OK, just kidding. We’re going to discharge you and have you come back to look at the lung nodule.’� That, however, was due to the fact the treatment regiment is different for the different stages so it made more sense to nail down which stage she was in first. In between the lymph node and lung biopsies, Duven went in for the port placement for chemo. Before the lung node biopsy came back and it was determined she had Stage 2B Hodgkin’s lymphoma, she had told close friends and her parents had told immediate family. Her junior season of swim is gone, though, which is a shame because she had potential to go back to the South Puget Sound
A week before Allie Duven began her junior year at Tahoma High she was diagnosed with Hodgkins lymphoma. She has lost time at school but also missed training with the Bears girls swim team. Duven, 16, is matter-offact about what led up to the diagnosis, chemotherapy treatments and trying to still be a teenager. That’s exactly what Tahoma girls swim coach Dave Wright expects from Duven, who is in his Advanced Placement calculus class. “She sees this as a blip,� Wright said. “She’s pretty strong. She kind of just handles it.� When it came time to tell the team, Wright said, they gathered everyone in the water. “Allie just said, ‘Here it is,’� Wright said. “She said, ‘OK guys, this is what’s going on.’� Getting to that point, though, was a roller coaster ride for Duven. She went in to the doctor before swim practices began to get her sports physical out of the way. Duven said she’d been suffering from cold-like symptoms and had felt run down, but, otherwise she thought she

League and West Central District meets this year — she swims the 50, 100 and 200 yard freestyle — and was one of three captains selected by the team. “I’ve gone to a few practices and I’ve been able to manage, but, I’m missing it,� Duven said. Senior Tori Bowers, who swims the 500 free, said this season hasn’t been the same. “I miss her, I miss her so much,� Bowers said. “I’m just so used to having her on the team, we would push each other through the workouts and I miss having someone to talk to, to joke around with, to complain to. It’s my senior year, it’s my last year and I really wanted to spend it with her.� Bowers said she initially struggled with the news of Duven’s diagnosis. Now she recognizes her friend’s strength and uses it to stay motivated in the pool. “She’s one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. It’s true,� Bowers said. “I got so angry. I was like, ‘Why her? Of all the people, you couldn’t have picked someone awful?’ I was pretty made that it was her. I didn’t want it to be her. I’m over it now. When I’m tired I think of the battle she’s going through, I think to myself, ‘If she can persevere, then I can persevere.’� Her teammates don’t complain about workouts as much either. And there’s something to be said for the motivation that comes for the girls who know Duven, Bowers said.

Duven said she will be done in early December and she hopes this regimen will knock it out so she doesn’t need radiation. There will be four rounds of this treatment. The goal is to be cured in three to four months. “I’ll have my last in-patient chemo on Thanksgiving night,â€? Duven said. “And we’ll definitely have something to be thankful for.â€?

With cell phone popularity snowballing, many people wonder if the rumors are true—do cell phones cause cancer? Although the jury is still out, there is some cause for concern. Cell phones emit low radiation frequencies similar to those given off by microwaves and AM/FM radios. Because cell phones have only become popular in the past decade, long-term studies haven’t yet been tabulated. Preliminary evidence indicates a higher occurrence of tumors in people who use cell phones for more than an hour a day, with the tumors localized to the patient’s “listening side.� To be on the safe side, invest in a hands-free device which keeps cell phones far enough away to minimize any potential risk of radiation exposure.

Team titles for Tahoma boys and girls at league cross country meet BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@maplevalleyreporter.com
Tahoma swept the team titles at the South Puget Sound League cross country meet Oct. 20. In the boys race, Kentwood came in second, Kentridge third, Kentlake fifth, and Kent-Meridian ninth. In the girls race, Kentridge took third, Kent Meridian fourth and Kentwood sixth. Bears Coach Gary Connner stated the victory for Tahoma wasn’t as important as it was a marker of where the teams are at in the season, with two

Based on some of the times, including sub-20 minute runs for the entire girls team, was big boon. “We needed to not only win but be where we need to be,� Conner said. “We needed to win big. I think the margins were kind of what we were hoping for. We knew that we really haven’t put up those big times simply because we haven’t had a meet or a reason for it. They have run fresher than they have in the past.� Despite a bout of hail in

Now he can just go and have fun. There’s no more worrying. He had the best race he could possibly have.� Right behind him was

Council member Deady is a third generation resident of Black Diamond and Council member Benson has lived here for 33 years. We appreciate the safety and security that the Black Diamond Police provide to our city.

was never discussed at the meeting. As good citizens and conscientious council members, Council members Deady and Benson asked to meet with Mayor Olness and City Administrator Butkus on Tuesday to discuss the budget in preparation for our work study on Thursday (Oct.18). During that discussion we discussed many ways to reduce expenses and increase income. We would have been negligent not to have discussed the police department budget as it comprises 40 percent of the general fund expenditures. We had looked at other police departments and their costs per capita, such as Maple Valley and Covington, which use King County Sheriff ’s deputies. We had many other questions such as to level of service, a study done by Maple Valley, partnering with Maple Valley and many other issues. We knew the police chief would be at the meeting on Thursday and requested that some of these studies be available as additional information to review, as well as reviewing the police department budget. We as council members believe

Don’t get rid of our police force I would like to address the recent rumor regarding the Black Diamond City Council allegedly
considering sacrificing our city’s police department for the sake of tightening the city budget. In open discussion, City Council members discussed the option of outsourcing our local police support with neighboring cities resulting in either drastically cutting back our police department or eliminating it all together. The council cannot deny that this was true. I believe the fact is they are in fact, seriously looking at cutting expenditures in this department in order to find funding for their Prop 1 measure, and the reason they back tracked on this attempt and denied the rumored allegations, was due to the uproar it created from the community during the last council meeting. The council needs Prop 1 to pass in order for them to gain the all-inclusive power they desire. This controversy about the council and the police department provides the residents of Black Diamond with a glimpse of what’s yet is to come from the City Council, should they gain control of our city. Our city is in the red about $250,000 for the 2013 budget, and despite this the City Council voted to

place Proposition 1 on the current ballot. This action to make Prop 1 a ballot measure cost the city — all BD residents — $5,000. Furthermore, if Prop 1 passes, the changes to our city government will include the cost of a newly hired city manager, a yearly estimated cost of $150,000 to $200,000. Additionally, nearly every ordinance, contract, council rule and Black Diamond personnel manual will have to be changed to reflect the new form of government, an exorbitant expense for staff and council. It appears the city council is just now getting around to understanding just how hard it’s going to be to afford this new and unnecessary form of city government. In January of this year the current council voted to rescind the Community Facilities District approved by the previous council. Part of that agreement was for YarrowBay to pay for the construction of a new fire station to serve the south and southeast part of the city: old town, Lawson Hills, Morgan Creek, and Diamond Village. That new station would have cost approximately $3 million and very likely would be under conApartments for Rent King County
struction today. The City Councils’ decision to stop the construction of this station created legal fees and work study fees that cost the city over $8,000. Let me repeat this: the current city council spent $8,000 to stop the construction of a free $3 million fire station! In March of this year the council voted to authorize the Mayor to file a Declaratory Judgment against YarrowBay. Fortunately, the Mayor refused, but the legal cost of the council vote was $6,000. Do you want this inexperienced council to run our city with their history of unaccountable spending? This council does not appear to care that they don’t have the answers of where the money will come to pay for their actions. I don’t want this type of leadership taking control and making decisions for me and my family. This will come at too high a price. As past experience in politics has shown, when there are no resources left to pull from, the layman has to pay through fewer services, increased taxes or both. No thank you! And finally consider this, the four most recently appointed council members voted in favor of creating Prop 1 and then

Vote Massagli for state rep. This coming election is very important to our state and nation. Locally, we need to send a new representative to Olympia. Andy Massagli has a background in business, has demonstrated leadership, and understands that our state must turn things around and set a new direction. Pat Sullivan is a nice guy, but his votes have put us in the current economic hole, it is time for him to retire and hire Andy as our new representative.
