Grocery Outlet set to open Jan. 26

Tahoma opposes land transfer

Norm and Tammy Mack know the grocery business.

For 30 years, Norm worked at markets while his wife, Tammy, put in more than two decades in the industry herself.

In fact, they met on the job five years ago at Everson Market in Everson, a small town about a 30 minute drive from Bellingham.

It should come as no surprise the couple, whom recently moved to Maple Valley, will own and operate the new Grocery Outlet in the Four Corner Square north addition.

In fact, Tammy said, when they started dating in 2008 Norm asked her if she’d be interested in opening a Grocery Outlet with him at some point. She agreed.

After all the years working in the business, Norm said, it seemed like the right move.

A chunk of land included in the YarrowBay Master Planned Developments in Black Diamond is the focus of discussion between the Enumclaw and Tahoma school districts.

The Enumclaw School District Board of Directors hosted a public hearing Wednesday night regarding the proposed transfer of land from the Tahoma School District to Enumclaw.

The hearing was an opportunity for community members to express their views regarding the proposed transfer.

The land in question is an approximately 35 acre portion that is zoned for commercial use in the master planned developments of YarrowBay, according to Enumclaw School District documents.

The process of adjusting school district boundaries is overseen by

Tahoma’s boys and girls swim teams went head to head Jan. 4 to raise money for cancer research, inspired by one of their own, Allie Duven, and her battle against Hodgkins lymphoma.

The bleachers at Covington

Aquatic Center were full with fans and supporters whom turned out for the Meet to Beat Cancer.

Duven, a junior at Tahoma and co-captain of the 2012 girls team, was diagnosed last fall and is currently undergoing treatment.

planned and hosted the event as her senior project. Foxworthy was inspired by Duven and decided to do something for the senior project that could help make a difference.

“I was originally going to build a cat condo,” Foxworthy said. “My dad suggested it (the meet) and I thought it was cool that I could do it.”

Foxworthy approached the boys team about holding the meet during one of their regular practice times and rallied the girls swimmers to participate via Facebook.

“I just sent out a Facebook message and the girls started replying and saying they would do it,” [ more SWIM page 5 ]

While MS Remains Shrouded in Mystery, MS Society Drives the Search for a Cure What causes multiple sclerosis, a disease of the central nervous system? Scientists are working on several factors that they think might be involved, but so far the exact cause remains a mystery. What is known is that MS affects 400,000 individuals in the U.S. and 2.1 million worldwide.

About 200 people are diagnosed with this condition each week and women are more than twice as likely as men to contract this incurable and often debilitating condition.

The disease most commonly strikes people between the ages of 20 and 50. MS attacks the central nervous system, which is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. Symptoms can range from mild, such as numbness in the limbs, to severe, including paralysis or loss of vision.

Possible suspects in the cause of MS include the immune system, the environment, infectious diseases and genetics.

What might trigger an abnormal response of the body’s immune system to cause MS? Why does MS occur more often in areas

away from the equator? Does childhood exposure to viruses, bacteria or other microbes trigger the onset of MS years later? Why does having a close family member with MS increase one’s odds of coming down with it? Scientists from around the world are searching for answers.

While they do, the Greater Northwest Chapter of the National MS Society is working to mobilize people and resources to help drive that research for a cure and to address the challenges of everyone affected by MS and to provide programs and services that help people with MS and their families move their lives forward. Headquartered in Seattle, the Greater Northwest Chapter serves over 12,000 people living with MS in 23 counties of western and central Washington as well as people throughout Alaska and Montana. The Oregon Chapter serves more than 7,500 individuals with MS and their families in Oregon and SW Washington.

Washington state to Oregon to California to New Mexico and beyond, Windham hopes those who hear the choir will be inspired to sponsor children through ICN. Sponsorship, which costs $35 a month, Windham said, helps a child go to school all the way through the university level. “Some people say, ‘oh, it’s just a black hole, you’ll never meet that need,’� Holland said. “But, we’ve got to do something. By sponsoring a child for $35 a month I can change their destiny.�

And while bringing sponsors into the fold can change the lives of orphaned and at-risk children long term, the experience with the choir can change its members for good, too.

Windham explained the children are fast friends initially but at some point during the experience they get frustrated with one another, seeing the worst in one another without recognizing it in themselves.

After some time, though, the children will get over the conflicts arise and develop deep bonds with their peers who come from different cultures and religious backgrounds. “What happens is there is a transformation,� Windham said. “They become loved. They start to see they have value and they go back with a real belief they can do

something. They go back just different people. Then we get to witness it, our church. We get to see them from the beginning.�

Once all the children arrive in Covington, they will spend time with host families, studying and preparing for the tour. They will leave, Windham said, March 2 then return in November. By the time the choir returns from the tour, they will have worked through two levels of school, not to mention all that they learn through travel as well as living and performing with children from other parts of the world.

Without this opportunity and sponsorship, Windham said, children from Peru, for example, have little to look forward to in life. “It’s indentured slavery,� Windham said. “They work on a farm.

They get a place to sleep, it might be a shack, and they get food.�

It is a life of fear, which is something Windham hopes Matsiko Orphans Choir can help children escape, one concert and sponsor at a time. “We can truly make a difference,�

Windham said.

The Greater Northwest Chapter offers programs, services and fundraising events to improve the quality of life for people living with MS and also funds cutting-edge research into new treatments and finding a cure. It supports more than 50 self-help groups that meet on a regular basis, including a “stay at home� telephone support group. It sponsors programs such as Online Peer Connections, “MSFriends� Peer Support Program that connects people with MS with volunteers living with MS, “Someone to Listen� Peer Support Program, Walk MS, Bike MS and StoryBank.

Here in the Northwest MS is more prevalent than almost anywhere else on earth.

Your support of the Greater Northwest Chapter and of the important research that is being done could make a difference to the lives of thousands of people right here.

Recently, Businessweek magazine declared that Maple Valley is the best city to raise kids in the entire state. This is following last year’s declaration by Family Circle magazine that put Maple Valley in the top 10 in the country for places to raise kids.

I told my kids about the exciting news, and they couldn’t care less. One asked if having zero movie theaters gave Maple Valley extra bonus points.

There isn’t an official city strategy to get to the top of these lists, and the news came as a surprise to everyone.

Expect to see our politicians try to convince you next Election Day that this was planned all along, though.

The official reasons cited for Maple Valley’s child-raising dominance were the Lake Wilderness Lodge, parks department activities, and the superior school system.

However, if you listen to the voters, the schools don’t need more money, so they voted down the latest school bond. Two weeks ago, a letter writer complained in this paper about the city’s reckless spending habits, so they apparently don’t need any more money either.

The writer clearly doesn’t attend the city council meetings — I never see her there — and doesn’t realize that city staff are getting laid off, while expenses have been cut every year, usually by several hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The only place left to cut is the parks department, which could cause our nationally recognized parenting utopia to diminish somewhat.

The voters and the letter writer are very concerned about the immediate outlay and aren’t paying attention to the big picture.

I had a couple of business partners who felt the same way. When we had a downturn in the sales and were losing about $10,000 a month, we had to come up with a plan. Their first ideas were to cut out the bottled water for the office — the tap water was orange and undrinkable — to turn down the heat, and stop allowing space heaters.

The net effect of those actions would have reduced the productivity from our employees, you know, the ones who help us make money.

Ryan Ryals

Goals and growth over resolutions Reflection and resolve are common this time of year.

Many reflect on the year just passed, what was good about it or what was bad, and resolve to continue the good while changing the bad.

Oh, New Year’s resolutions, a deceptively tempting concept that sets so many well-meaning folks up for failure.

A friend of mine posted in jest on Facebook that she would open a bar and call it Resolutions. The first two weeks of the year it would be a gym then the rest of the year it would be a bar. It’s funny because there’s so much truth to the joke.

Also, those things don’t begin to approach the amount of money needed to make up the shortfall.

I fought it and we didn’t go that route. Instead, I sold my precious Corvette, took less money, and invested in growth.

We were inspired to take risks to find more customers while reducing expenses that didn’t impact our customers or our employees.

If you think that government should be run like a business, then you’d know that a good business will invest in the future, even when times are bad. This might involve spending money for a new computer system that saves money and time, or an advertising strategy that pulls in new customers and keeps existing ones happy.

Good businesses cannot simply sit around and wait for things to get better. The ones that do will go out of business while their competitors steal their share of the marketplace. I’ve seen it happen in the last two industries I was involved in, and I’ve done a lot of the market share stealing myself.

School bonds and local tax increases are often painted as a huge financial burden by some of the louder voices in this community. That’s because these people only see the $20 per year leaving their wallets, and don’t see it as an investment in their property values.

When it comes to investing in schools and government services, you and I and every other

citizen are the business owners, not the caretakers who run them for us.

Real estate agents in town are already trumpeting the Businessweek declaration on their websites, that Maple Valley is the best city in Washington state to raise kids. Why? Because there are plenty of moms who decide where to buy a house based on the school system and local amenities like parks.

I’ve read the online message boards myself — Maple Valley’s Tahoma School District is competing with Issaquah, Bellevue, and Mercer Island when it comes to superior school systems.

More demand from picky moms equals more home sales. More home sales equals higher resale prices.

Does that mean you should vote yes for every school bond or local tax increase? I don’t think so. Sometimes these school bonds are filled with stuff that is hard to support. Sometimes a tax increase could be better spent on a different area like roads.

But if you simply say no because you’re trying to keep that extra $20 in your wallet, you might find a lot fewer of those twenties in your bank account when you finally sell your house.

Maple Valley has a chance to be the greatest city in the state of Washington. But we have to want that title first, and be willing to invest wisely. The schools and the government belong to us and it’s up to us to keep them great.

The intent is good. We all want to be thinner, smarter and happier. We write these resolutions down. And then we fail.

This may come as a shock, but my most bitter resolution failure came in 2007, when I decided I would read a book each month that year. It didn’t happen.

From then on, I swore off resolutions.

Another approach, also seen on Facebook, went like this: Set goal.

Make a plan.

Get to work.

Stick to it.

Reach goal.

This makes sense. And what’s handy about it is that you don’t have to wait until New Year’s Eve to develop goals. This can be done any time of year. Growth, whether it’s personal or professional, can happen any time and even when you’re not planning for it.

Katherine Smith, our new staff writer, and I were talking about resolutions shortly after New Year’s Day. She doesn’t make them.

This seems like a good idea to me. Especially at this point in time when change, the one constant in life — well other than death and taxes — has come along in a big way at the paper and in Maple Valley. Sometimes resolutions come as a result of change. Other times change is a result of resolve.

Change is something I ponder frequently, especially in the past month or so.

TJ Martinell, who had worked at the Reporter for the past 18 months give or take, has left for another job. Katherine has taken his place. It’s going to take some time for me to adjust to this but also for folks in the community to adjust, to get to know Katherine, her style of journalism and her personality.

Have you ever wanted to be a hero? Consider donating blood. Most people are eligible for donation, and donating blood is a quick and painless way to help save somebody’s life. Since most people have between 10 and 12 pints of blood, it’s not too hard to spare the small amount used for donation. On your visit to the blood bank, you can first expect to take part in a brief interview and a simple physical. Blood pressure, temperature, pulse, and blood iron level will be checked, and if all is well, the donation process will continue. It only takes about an hour to donate blood, from the interview process to the rest and snacks after the donation is complete. Before donating, make sure to eat a healthy meal and be hydrated.

The most common recipients of blood transfusions are cancer patients, but donations are also used daily for surgery patients, accident victims, organ transplant recipients and burn patients of all ages. Statistics show that about 25 percent or more of us will need blood at least once in our lifetime. Why not give back before you need it – or give because someone has given for you?

in drainage water. Some orchid growers suggest you water orchids by placing a few ice cubes on top of the bark chips that surround the orchid roots once a week. Phalaenopsis orchids love filtered light so keep them out of direct sun — again not a problem in Western Washington.

Another tip is do not fertilize your potted orchid when it is blooming.

To much fertilizer can cause the orchid to drop its already formed flower buds.

Wait until summer when the orchid goes dormant to feed your orchid plant.

An office is actually a great place to grow phalaenopsis orchids because they prefer warm daytime temperatures over 70 degrees but low night temps below 60 degrees — perfect for any location that turns the heat way down at night.

Buy a budded orchid plant in January and you can easily enjoy fresh blooms until April. I think your black thumb is turning green already.

A cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol is an effective treatment for mealy bugs on any houseplant.

Q

. Help. I inherited a large and beautiful jade plant – that is now dying. It was happy all summer and then a few months ago started to drop leaves.

It is near a bright window and I water it once a week.

Should I repot the plant?

P.P. Email . Help is on the way.

Do not repot your jade, just stop watering.

This succulent plant needs very little water in the winter when days become shorter. In our climate potted jade plants thrive on a cupful of water once a month from October to March.

Some indoor gardeners insist they don’t water their jade plants at all during the winter, but I find if you water once a month you can prevent the foliage from shriveling.

Jade plants enjoy spending the summer outdoors

The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Pediatrics Dentists recommend that children visit their dentists by their first birthday, as their first tooth comes in between six to 12 months.

Early examination and preventative care can protect your child from early childhood cavities and start your child on a lifetime of healthy dental habits.

I am giving up on growing a ficus tree after watching the second one drop leaves and die.

What tall indoor plant do you suggest for a corner with no windows?

D.S., Tacoma . Sounds like you need a lady in your life — the graceful lady palm that is. Lady palms or Rhapis excelesa come in over a 100 named varieties but all do extremely well in low light, something the British found out in the 18th century when these palm trees graced every proper Victorian parlor.

Lady palms are a slow grower with thin stems and the soil should be kept just barely moist, but allowed to dry out a bit during the winter months.

Slow growth means it does not need much fertilizer so use a liquid plant food diluted to half strength in the summer months only. Now here’s a design tip to turn this lady into a diva. Use a low voltage spot

informed me that orchids can be grown by people like me with what I call a “blackthumb.� I should tell you I have killed other houseplants - but really love orchids because they remind me of Hawaii.

What type of orchid is easiest to grow in a office environment?

R.S., Maple Valley . You cannot fail with Phalaenopsis because new varieties are not only easier to grow, but also much easier to find now that grocery stores, home stores and discount retailers are offering potted orchids as well as your local greenhouse.

Buy a phalaenopsis or moth orchid that is in bloom but still has many buds. Do not over water.

Root rot is the most common way to kill a potted orchid.

In our cloudy climate many orchids need water only once a week. Just make sure the plant does not sit

The Compleat Home Gardener

The second week of January is when gardeners take note of their often-ignored houseplants.

This year the beauty and health benefits of indoor plants is a top trend for 2013 as health and wellness surpasses prestige and luxury as the reason consumers decide to part with their disposable income.

Those green stalks of lucky bamboo that were such a hit with the 20-something crowd had spread to include all ages and all types of indoor plants — including the benefits of cut flowers, potted bulbs and houseplants that flower for months indoors.

This winter bring home the exotic beauty of an orchid, the lush green of a palm or the textural treat of a jade plant.

Consider houseplants a natural prescription for good health.

New Cedar Valley principal focused on student achievement

BY KATHERINE SMITH ksmith@covingtonreporter.com

Brian Rosand, the new principal at Cedar Valley Elementary, originally thought he wanted to work in a field related to computers, but in a class at Green River Community College he discovered his love of teaching. “There was a guy there (at Green River) who was a former kindergarten teacher,� Rosand said. “He would tell me about teaching and I was like, ‘Man, this sounds like something I’m really interested in and probably could be really good at.’ So I went for it.�

Rosand grew up in Des Moines and attended Federal Way schools. He then attended Green River Community College for two years and transferred to Central Washington University where he earned his degree in elementary education.

As a teacher, Rosand worked with second through fifth graders during 12 years in the Federal Way School District, including time teaching students in the district’s gifted and talented program.

Rosand earned his master’s degree in integrated elementary technology and his administration credential from City University. “I had an inkling for it (administration),� Rosand said. “I can influence my classroom, but as an admin you can influence the whole building and the students there.�

This year is Rosand’s first as an administrator and his vision for the school includes raising student success and focusing on the human element. “Believing all kids can,� Rosand said of his outlook on education. “Giving them life options — instead of closing doors, opening doors. That’s really where I want the school to go. Having our instruction be intentional and respon-

sive and continuing to build strong relationships with the students, the parents, the community.�

One focus at Cedar Valley this year has been on preparing students and teachers for the Common Core standards that will go into effect in 2014. “Certain grade levels are receiving a lot of Common Core training right now,� Rosand said. “They’re implementing some of that into the classrooms now.�

Rosand has also implemented a program to recognize students.

Each month the school hosts a student recognition assembly where students are honored for exemplifying that month’s trait or theme. Effort is recognized every month in addition to a secondary theme such as empathy, respect, responsibility, etc. “The kids here are wonderful,� Rosand said. “These kids rock.�

How a simple plan to get teen daughter behind the wheel went awry and went.

I thought it rather strange she didn’t want to drive. We had talked about “when the kids could drive� for years and she talked of “when I can drive.� But I felt if she wasn’t ready to drive, I shouldn’t force her.

When she approached 17, I asked her why she didn’t want to drive. She told me Gretchen Leigh

Since my daughters hit their teen years, I have been very clear that they would be partly responsible for the financial end of their driving careers: driver’s education, gas, insurance, first car. But when my oldest hit the magical age of 15 and a half, she showed no interest in driving. Sixteen came

there or would come to her as she lay on her back, why would she want to roll over?

I think she was almost 10 months old before she started rolling from her back to her stomach.

I suddenly understood that unless I made her get her license, she would never be motivated enough until I dropped her off at the bus stop on her way to college. I am not alone in this dilemma. It seems many of my mom friends have high school children who are unwilling to drive, even with driver’s ed under their belt and a car in the driveway waiting for them. One mom posted on my website that her son wasn’t interested until he took the bus to college a whole quarter. I did not want to wait until then.

more than 100,000 miles on it, that’s easy on the gas mileage and something dad can maintain. We know for a while we’ll be paying for gas and maintenance until she graduates this year and gets a job.

As my husband and I drove around to get her car emission tested and the title transferred, I was truly chagrined that my plan had gone awry. But even though it is a car for her, she only got it to make my husband and my lives easier. So really the car is for us — at least that is the attitude which allows me sleep at night.

Still, I hate it when my parenting plans backfire.

My youngest daughter turned 15 last fall and has already completed driver’s ed. Of course, I paid for it as her sister already went down that path, or should I say road?

When she turned 17 and a situation arose where it would have been more convenient for me had she been driving, I took a stand.

I signed her up and paid for driver’s ed. I drove her to every lesson and picked her up. I pushed her father and her out the door to practice driving. She has had moments of epiphany of the freedom she could have if she was driving and is finally interested in taking her driving test — we started in August.

Needless to say, my plan of making my kids financially responsible for part of their driving careers has backfired. We just purchased a car for her because her dad and I are tired of picking her sister up at the bus stop, then turning around to pick her up from her after school activities every day. We got her a 10-year-old car, with

there was no reason to drive if her father and I were driving her everywhere she wanted to go.

The insight stopped me in my tracks. Apparently, we made the whole thing so easy, she couldn’t project to a future when her schedule would be such that my husband and I wouldn’t be willing to drive her.

It reminded me of when she was an infant and wouldn’t roll over onto her stomach until she was well past six months old. I’d put her on her stomach and she’d roll over on her back, but she wouldn’t go the other way. I’d even entice her with foods I knew she liked or toys she was especially fond of, she still wouldn’t roll over. Everything she needed was right

Community members and center staff will serve on the task force.

It would be helpful for task force members to have an interest in

[ OUTLET from page 1] “We were always working for somebody else,� he said. “We wanted to do it for ourselves.�

Norm knew managers he had worked with who went on to Grocery Outlet. He kept in touch with those former co-workers to get a sense of what it would be like.

When the time was right, he said, he called one of those guys up to get connected with the company. “He gave us contact information and we were on our way,� Norm said. “That was in April, I think, and by May we were already approved.�

In mid-April the Macks went through lengthy interviews in Berkeley, Calif., where the chain’s headquarters are located.

Grocery Outlet has more than 185 stores primarily in western states including Washington, Oregon, California and Nevada.

Before the in-person interviews, they went through two hour-long phone interviews as well as a battery of personality tests.

Once all that was completed Norm and Tammy knew things went well in the final interviews. “They say you know within a week and a half of interviews (if approved),� Tammy said. “They told us on the way to the airport that we were in.�

and understanding of technology issues.

Members should also have a thorough understanding of the organization’s culture and the ways in which technology is used to further the mission of the organization. They should also be curious, comfortable with research

Norm and Tammy were engaged at that point but were waiting to figure out how everything would work out with Grocery Outlet.

Once they knew they got the store in Maple Valley, the third one the couple had applied for, Tammy picked a date for the wedding by the time they got to the airport.

The couple wed in August.

The Macks knew they could end up anywhere on the West Coast. “We gave them carte blanche and told them we’d go anywhere,� Norm said. “But, we got lucky to get this one.�

Norm said Grocery Outlet, which is known for offering products for as much as half off retail pricing, is experiencing a period of growth as a company and its development team is working hard to open stores in new markets as quickly as possible. It makes sense to open in Maple Valley and there were residents who wanted it here. “We had a number of requests from local residents to come to the area and we saw the need for a high quality discount market there,� said Melissa Porter, vice president of marketing, Grocery Outlet, Inc. “We match up culturally with communities that are family oriented and Maple Valley is one of the top communities for families in the country.�

For the Macks, it seemed like the perfect

as well as developing strategies and overseeing implementation.

The goal is to have the task force formed and meeting by the end of January.

For more information contact Executive Director Mark Pursley at 425-432-1272 or send email to markp@maplevalleycc.org.

THIRD WORD WEDNESDAY AT CREATIVE ARTS CENTER Join us for the first storytelling evening at the Maple Valley Creative Art Council.

If you have a story to share, written or from memory, fiction or non-fiction, come tell it on the

opportunity. “We want to offer the people in Maple Valley the convenience of saving money on groceries,� Norm said. “The niche that I think we fill is value. We understand that our customers shop other outlets. What we hope they do is shop us first, save money, then get the items that they need.�

Typically Grocery Outlet stores offer product overruns, items that have been moved off the shelves elsewhere due to a change in packaging, among other things that allow independent operators to sell them at a lower price. In addition, there will be fresh produce, dairy and meat available. “Grocery Outlet is a treasure hunt,�

Tammy said. “I shop every aisle because it changes every week.�

Before they applied for a store, the Macks had to come up with a portion of the financing as well as develop a business plan, though Norm said there is a significant amount of support from the company as progress is made toward opening the store.

Once it’s open, the Macks, who the company calls Aspiring Operators in Training, will be in charge. They deal directly with vendors and have managed a number of aspects of setting up the store. In addition, they’ve hired more than 30 employees, including Tammy’s daughter Racheal, who is 26, and Norm’s 24-year-old son Bryant.

third Wednesday of every month.

The first night will be held Jan. 16 at 7 p.m. with each storyteller having between five and 10 minutes. Coffee and cookies will be provided. If you have a book to promote, please bring it with you. A free raffle will take place celebrating this new night of performance art.

Both of their children have retail experience and will serve as managers. “It’s nice coming in with two people we can trust already,� Tammy said.

The store’s square footage totals out at 18,200 square feet. Trucks began arriving with products Monday and will continue until the place is set up Jan. 23 with a grand opening set for Saturday, Jan. 26.

It is set up to flow, so there are places where certain products go, Norm said, but there’s significant flexibility in how things are set up due to the fluidity of the product offerings which change regularly.

In two years, Norm said, he and his wife think the store will be running well enough they can take their honeymoon.

For now, though, the couple is excited about the prospect of running their new business and being a part of their new home.

To start with, they connected with the Maple Valley Food Bank and have committed to support it. There will be volunteers from the food bank at the grand opening.

The Macks will donate $1,000 worth of food to MVFB Jan. 26. They’ve also connected with the Tahoma School District with an eye toward a partnership. “We wanted to come to a small community,� Norm said. “We’re from a small community. We wanted to go somewhere we could make a difference.�

IN SEARCH OF STILL WATER Tahoma High senior Michael Cox has already qualified for state despite injuries suffered in a car wreck

BY KATHERINE SMITH ksmith@maplevalleyreporter.com

I

t’s not unusual for Michael Cox, a senior at Tahoma High and a competitive swimmer, to start his days with an early morning swim practice.

Late last summer he had a morning like so many others, that one, however, ended differently. Cox remembers getting in the car, but after that his memory goes blank.

Cox fell asleep at the

wheel that morning, his car crossed the center line and collided with another vehicle before going off the road. “When I regained consciousness there was a lady outside my window,� Cox said. “It didn’t register. I’m thinking: What just happened? It was very scary.�

Cox’s first concern after he realized he’d fallen asleep was whether or not he had hit anyone else — he had — and if the other driver

was OK. That answer was also yes.

Cox’s coach was also at the accident scene. He was driving in front of Cox. “My coach saw everything happen in his rearview mirror,� Cox said.

The collision with the other vehicle had been “headlight to headlight� and Cox was told that if he had drifted only a few more inches the accident could have been catastrophic.

Cox fractured his pelvis

in four places, injured his uppermost rib and had a glass shard in his eyebrow.

He is thankful for everything that did go right that morning, and in the days and weeks that followed. “Everything that could have gone right did,� Cox said.

For one, Cox had been driving his mother’s car that morning. “Mine is older and less safe,� Cox said. “Her (car) is much safer.�

Cox was also thankful the other driver wasn’t seriously injured, that it hadn’t been a head-on collision and that the glass had landed in his eyebrow instead of his eye. Cox also didn’t need surgery.

That morning was more than three months ago and Cox is back in the pool, amazing his doctors and coaches.

Cox was told he couldn’t put any weight on his left [ more WATER page 11 ]

Smith, Deskins help Kentlake to win over Riverside Deskins at 285.

Kentlake traveled to Kent-Meridian Wednesday after the Reporter’s press deadline to take on Thomas Jefferson and K-M in a double dual.

BY KRIS HILL khill@covingtonreporter.com

Led by sophomore Nick Smith, Kentlake’s wrestling team put together a 47-29 victory on the mat at home Jan. 4 over Auburn Riverside in a South Puget Sound League 4A North dual meet.

Smith, who wrestled at 113 pounds, was first up for the Falcons. He tallied a near fall, scoring 16 points before the second period finished. Next up for Kentlake was Rajaat Chauhan, a freshman who earned a technical fall with a take down to win his match 15-0 early in the third period at 120 pounds.

Sophomore Jesse Younkin had arguably the most exciting win of the evening. Younkin was tied with Riverside’s James Smith at 4-4 in the third period in the 138 pound match when he scored a reversal which led to a pin with less than 15 seconds left on the clock.

Zach Harris put together an 11-5 decision over Riverside’s Zach Ghe-

Senior Tyler Deskins wrapped up the evening for the Falcons with a 13-2 win over the Ravens’ Larkin

Williams in the 285 pound class. It was a battle of wills between the heavyweights early on but Deskins made his move late in the second period with a takedown then three near fall points en route to the victory.

The Falcons followed that up the next morning with a trip to the Panther Classic

at Snohomish High. Smith took first in the 106 pound bracket, beating Tyler Almaguer of Kamiakin 9-2 in the final and sophomore Anthony Carillo took fifth at 160 while Zach Harris finished fifth at 182. At 220 pounds, Jonathan Yarbrough took third, followed by a fifth place finish by

looking,� Cox said. “I was supposed to be on crutches for three months. The doctors were bewildered it had been healing so fast.�

Cox had been healing so fast that shortly after he started physical therapy he was able to cease using crutches and start training again in earnest. “I’ve just been working day by day,� Cox said. “I feel myself getting stronger.�

Not only has Cox been

back in the pool, but he has qualified for the boys state meet in the 100 yard freestyle, and he has his sights set on more. He is planning on swimming the 100 butterfly at state and is going to decide between the 100 and 200 free. Cox also wants to break the Tahoma school record for the 200 free. “I believe I can get it,�

Cox said.

The future is bright for Cox — in the fall he signed

his letter of intent to swim for Seattle University next year. “I am thankful for all the people who supported me,�

Cox said. “I just feel blessed, I had a second chance to do what I love.�

Do baby teeth really matter?

YES – they matter a lot!

Anticavity Tip: Water consumption is the most effective way to slow cavity progression in children because of its natural ability to reduce intraoral acidity and cleanse the mouth.

How much water is enough? As a general rule, the amount of water your child should consume (ounces) a day is equal to half their total body weight in pounds.

Example: 28 pound child = 14 ounces or 2 cups; 46 pound child = 23 ounces or 3 cups. For more information about how to keep your child’s mouth healthy, visit us online at www.akidsplacedentistry.com Certified, American Board of Pediatric Dentistry Member American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry Keith E.
