Mountain View Fire puts levy on April ballot

Proposed school land transfer sent to ESD

For the first time since it was established in 1953, King County Fire District 44 officials will ask voters for a levy beyond its current funding through property taxes.

Also known as Mountain View Fire and Rescue, the district’s Board of Commissioners approved putting a levy on the April 23 special election ballot.

If passed, the additional revenue from the four-year levy would allow the district to maintain its current staffing levels.

According to information provided by Mountain View Fire Chief Greg Smith, a 39.8 percent drop in assessed property values during the past four years in Fire District 44 have led to a substantial drop in its revenues, more than $1.8 million since 2008. As a result of this dip, district officials

The Enumclaw School Board decided it will continue to pursue a land transfer from the Tahoma School District to Enumclaw and formally submit a petition to the Puget Sound Educational Service District. Tahoma received a letter from Enumclaw March 4 informing the district that Enumclaw would be continuing to pursue the transfer.

The land in question is an approximately 54 acre portion that is zoned for commercial use in the master planned developments of YarrowBay, according to the Tahoma School District. No students reside within the parcel of land.

The local educational service district, a regional agency that provides support and services to school districts, oversees the process of adjusting school district

A time to build for Peace Lutheran Church

BY KATHERINE SMITH ksmith@covingtonreporter.com

A new sanctuary has risen along the side of 272nd this winter and for the members and staff at Peace Lutheran it has been a vision years in the making.

“It has been a long process,” said Don Moen, chairman of the building committee. “Initially it started as a huge campus — three buildings. Over the years it has

become more realistic, we narrowed it down to one building.”

Discussions and plans for the new building go back more than 13 years — the church held an initial capital fundraising campaign, which became known as Forward in Faith, in 2000. After the campaign the project stalled and there was a change in pastoral leadership almost six years ago.

For Pastor Paul Gossman it was a surprise to find himself leading

a congregation that was looking to build.

“I have a background in missions, I didn’t necessarily want to do a building project,” Gossman said. “It’s God’s leading. It wasn’t right then, it is right now. It was an opportune time.”

The need to build continued to be a pressing issue for the congregation as it continued to grow in recent years.

“For so long the church was slowly growing and since the new pastor it has taken off,” said Steve Kummert, church administrator.

As the congregation has grown it has tested the limits of its build[ more BUILD page 9 ]

Work on miners memorial progressing in Black Diamond

BY KATHERINE SMITH ksmith@maplevalleyreporter.com

The Black Diamond Historical Society is sponsoring the design and construction of a new statue and memorial garden at the Black Diamond Museum.

We have always been able to find an avenue to overcome a couple years of declining property values, however, never have these circum-

stances persisted this long.�

During the past two years District 44 has supplemented its budget with emergency reserve funds and officials expect assessed property values to drop another 9.21 percent this year, which would reduce operating revenues an additional $283,685.

District 44 currently collects $1.50 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. If the levy is approved, the additional maximum tax is estimated to be no more than $31 more a year or $2.58 a month for $100,000

The historical society president Keith Watson said the project should be finished in time for an unveiling at the Miner’s Day celebration on July 6. “It’s going to be very exciting,� Watson said.

Between 1885 and 1960 mining was a major source of employment in rural areas like Black Diamond, bringing men and their families from all over the world.

According to Watson, at one time over 30 languages were spoken in Black Diamond. During that time period more than 1,100 men died in mining accidents in the state.

The project has been financed through donations and fundraising according to Watson.

As part of the honor garden the historical society is selling brick pavers for $100 that can be engraved with a name or other message. “We’re all-volunteer,� Watson said. “It’s from the heart.�

to the committee along with Enumclaw’s petition. The next steps are mediation between the districts facilitated by the ESD, and if they can’t come to an agreement then there will be a public hearing in the committee.

The ESD received the petition from Enumclaw on March 4 according to ESD spokesman Peter Daniels. Daniels said that the timetable for transfer petitions varies. “The goal initially is to mediate,� Daniels said. “It seems both, with Enumclaw being for and Tahoma being against,

are firmly camped in their positions.�

After both districts are notified by the ESD they will have 90 days to meet and try to negotiate the transfer. “The goal is to try to have, at the lowest level, the districts reach an agreement,� Daniels said.

Mountain View Fire has a mix of career and volunteer firefighters. There are 17 career firefighter/EMTs who work out of three stations to provide daytime response while there are an average of 75 to 100 volunteers who work out of eight stations and cover 70 square miles.

One station is staffed by a captain and full-time firefighter 24 hours in order to provide supervision as well as oversee operations in the evenings. Two stations are staffed by career firefighters from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

March 26, Station 96, 17920 400th Ave. S.E. Smith said in the release he believes this is a shortterm need and will help District 44 get through the tail end of the recovery from the recession. The levy, if approved, would allow the district to preserve its current staffing levels and continue to respond to the more than 32,000 people who live in its boundaries. “It appears that property values are on their way back up,� Smith said. “This levy should be the helping hand

Treehouse Being a foster child means having to cope with extraordinary disadvantages during some of the most important formative years leading to adulthood. Most often, children enter the foster care system due to abuse or neglect. Foster kids often don’t get the same emotional or financial support that other kids get, or the sense of security that comes from being a part of a biological or adoptive family. This is why Treehouse exists, to counteract some of the disadvantages that come with being a foster child. Treehouse is QFC’s charity of the month for March.

About 70 percent of the 1,700 incidents district personnel respond to annually are medically related.

Smith said in a release that district officials do not anticipate laying off career firefighters in 2014 but there would be no money to fund overtime costs when firefighters are out sick or on vacation.

Treehouse provides education planning, coaching and support through Education Engagement. The Treehouse website notes:

Most people find that getting a good education is an essential step towards leading a productive, fulfilling life. People without a good education are often at a disadvantage in pursuing a career or a landing a good job. Unfortunately, due to the emotional turmoil many foster children have had to endure, they are not primed and ready to do well in school. Treehouse is dedicated to helping the foster child population here in Washington through Education Advocacy and Education Engagement.

The Treehouse mission of helping foster children goes beyond education to include many other aspects of youths’ lives. Here are four other programs that Treehouse supports that help make a difference: Little Wishes, Summer Camp, The Wearhouse and Holiday Magic.

Treehouse Education Advocates help students access education support services, stay in the same school whenever possi-

as well as school activities because kids who are positively engaged in school and community have better academic and life outcomes. The Summer Camp program provides access to overnight camps, day camps and other summer programs, giving foster kids a chance to get away and make new friends, while providing a break for their caregivers. Because spare funds are often short or nonexistent, Treehouse created The Wearhouse so that foster kids can get free new and like-new clothing, books, toys and other things to help them feel good and fit in. Eligible participants

can use The Wearhouse up to five times a year. The Holiday Magic program helps kids in foster care have a happy holiday by raising resources from the community to provide each child with a special holiday gift.

QFC is proud to partner with Treehouse to raise awareness about the important work they are involved in and to help raise funds to support the services they offer to their young clients. We invite you to make a donation at any QFC checkstand to Treehouse until March 30th.

cost differential would be negligible. “Regional partnerships like these make good sense for the public we serve, capturing economies of scale and providing advanced court technology for the residents of Auburn,� said King County Executive Dow Constantine in a statement on the county’s website in October.

Auburn is among a dozen local cities which contract with the county for court services, including Covington, and as part of an interlocal agreement signed in the fall, Auburn will adjudicate civil and criminal matters occurring within the city through King County District Court – South Division.

Services will be provided at the same location of the former Auburn Municipal Court, at 340 E. Main Street, with the court located on the top floor which is leased to the county and the first floor still home to the Auburn Police Department.

“By keeping the court at the Auburn Justice Center, our residents can still access court services at the same convenient location, while saving the costs of supporting a stand-alone court,� said Auburn Mayor Pete Lewis in a statement on the county’s website in October.

Covington has about 1,500 court cases annually, Matheson said, which are typically misdemeanors, gross misdemeanors and traffic citations or any type of criminal case which is punishable with less than a year in jail. There are a fair amount of DUIs and domestic violence cases, Matheson added.

With that amount of cases, it makes sense to contract court services. “We’ve looked at it but we just don’t have a large enough caseload to achieve the economy of scale to run our own court,� Matheson said. “Maple Valley has kind of a hybrid model — they have a municipal court, but they contract with the city

of Kent for judge services, a clerk and the location.

And Black Diamond does it itself, they have a part time judge, a part time clerk and it must use the City Council chambers a day a month.�

Matheson said the city budgeted $300,000 for court services for 2011 and it paid $266,000. “And that’s offset by revenue, which contrary to popular belief, does not compensate for the amount it costs to run the court,�

Matheson said. “About $161,000 (will come in) from traffic infractions, parking infractions, criminal fines. That offsets about half of (the court costs).�

When court services were moved to Renton it made sense, Matheson said, because it was closer to Covington. Auburn is even better as it is a quick drive for residents on state Route 18 and right off the Auburn Way South exit. “It’s just more convenient for our residents,�

Matheson said.

Not to state the obvious, but there is no single educational path that is right for everyone.

For some students it will be attending a college or university, earning a bachelor’s degree and perhaps going on to a master’s, even a doctorate. For others it might be community college or an apprenticeship. The options are as numerous and varied as the career paths they lead to.

There is a lot of talk in our local school systems about change and helping students to be successful once they graduate from high school.

The first question, I believe, that must be asked is how does one define success? By educational debt? By current income? By long term earning potential? By life experiences and personal growth? By one of these things? By all of them?

I believe these are all things students should keep in mind when they are considering their end goal and the best way to get there.

The bachelor’s degree has been getting a bad wrap lately in America. The recession and ensuing new reality that many 20-somethings are un or under-employed has drawn criticism of the wisdom of teaching all students to aspire to college.

Now we’re seeing school systems shift to how to get students into the workforce and living wage jobs as quickly as possible. Our local systems are no exception.

Both Kent and Tahoma have visions of partnering with local community colleges and tech schools. Tahoma hopes to build a new high school around the idea of having different vocational tracks. One of the Kent high schools

in our community, Kentlake, has plans to start a pre-nursing certification program in the fall.

I believe these programs will have good things to offer students and our communities at large.

However, I also think that caution is in order lest we end up with the exact same problem, just in reverse.

Ultimately it comes down to this: students need to know the reality that awaits them when they choose a path.

Want to attend a university? That’s great. A university education often means that a student will acquire educational debt to pay for it. What kind of salary can they expect and how long should they plan to be paying off those loans?

Want to be a psychologist or social worker?

You’ll need a master’s. What are the long term outlooks for those fields?

On the other hand college isn’t for everyone,

not every career requires a four-year degree.

Technical schools and community colleges can be great options as well. Yes, they will prepare you for a job in a short amount of time, however students need to know that often those programs prepare you for one job. To advance often requires additional education or certification.

Students need to understand these things when they are making decisions about the future. If they understand those realities and are prepared for them, then the school systems are doing what they are intended to do.

After that, it’s up to each student whether they sink or swim.

Small space, big performances While many people will see Tahoma Drama’s production of The Wiz as just a show, the actors in the cast see it as several months of hard work, tears, laughter, and plenty of fun!

Some people ask how and why we do it. Well, the answer is because we love it. We have a lot of fun in Mrs. D’s shows. We meet new friends, learn new things about music, and get to see how 65 kids can come together to make something amazing.

This particular show has been very different from all the rest. The music requires a lot of hard work and skill.

It is also very fun to listen to and leaves you hanging on every last note! It’s a mixture of gospel, soul, and rock. This music was written in the 1970s for Broadway and we are using the very same script, score and chorus book licensed. This is not a student edition so the bar has definitely risen. We usually do student editions which have simplified music, but in this case we are singing the same music and rehearsing the same script written for the Broadway cast. In fact, Mrs. D had to run

black marker through all our scripts to block out some words we cannot say on stage!

Although the rehearsal and performance space is limited on our stage at the Tahoma Middle School Theater, we end up somehow pushing a show out on stage every year! For example, we roll a keyboard into the costume closet for one-on-one work with Mrs. Bowers, the music director. Or we will go out in the hallway to work with Mrs. DeLeon, our director, on character development.

The other challenge that we have met is that all the supporting leads and solos have been double casted so that more students have the opportunity to take on the opportunity to sing with a live band.

Although this is a special thing, it also adds to the complexity of scheduling rehearsals. Even cast members who do not solo are in multiple ensemble parts and singing many songs with many intricate dance steps to remember and harmonies.

We have worked so hard on this show and would love it if you would come see it so we can keep doing shows every year. The leads are all double cast. The White Cast, in which I will be performing as ‘The Wiz’ performs at 2 p.m. March 9 and at 7 p.m. March 15-16. Red Cast performances are at 7 p.m. March 8-9 and at 2 p.m. March 16. Both casts are amazing and have completely different takes on the characters. Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for students.

Not many people understand how much work and effort goes into preparing a show as big as this unless they experience it firsthand.

Mrs. Earlene DeLeon, Mrs. Sheilla Hagedorn, Mr. Anthony DeLeon, Mrs. Carrie SleeperBowers, and all of the parents helping out with the show genuinely care about the kids and do this every year because we have so much fun.

Yes, our space is small, but our spirits our high and we are prepared to put on the best show we possibly can. Please come see The Wiz! The Wiz! is a full length musical comedy with a cast comprised of Tahoma Jr. high, Tahoma Middle School and Cedar River Middle School students. The musical is an adaptation of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. Dorothy’s adventures in the Land of Oz are reimagined with music composed of a lively mixture of rock, gospel and soul influences.

I have been consistently receiving buttermilk abuse at the various newspaper offices I find myself at these days.

I have a conspiracy theory this food crabbiness stems from another plot. Some seem to think I am not the Mr. Sensitive Bucket of Happiness I see in the mirror every morning (before I put my glasses on). Oh, how wrong everyone but me can be, and I do have to point this out‌ in a Mr. Happy way, of course.

When I gently make my “I am right once again� dance I try to be sensitive while I fling my arms in the air and yell “touchdown, touchdown� and throw in the requisite hair flip just to be consistent.

The Mr. Sensitive world of rightness may have something to do with the pile of problems I am getting about my eating habits. Namely my discovery that buttermilk, especially Bulgarian buttermilk, is ambrosia on nearly everything.

Now, I remember my grandmother drinking buttermilk

Commission offers input on city parks

BY KATHERINE SMITH ksmith@maplevalleyreporter.com

The Maple Valley Parks and Recreation Commission presented a report on the city’s athletic fields and the commission’s recommendations to support the Ravensdale park project and move forward with the Summit Park and Ballfields project to the Maple Valley City Council March 4.

The commission offered a range of short and long term recommendations to the council to address the city’s needs for ballfields and parks.

Among the short term recommendations the commission advised the council to contribute to the Ravensdale Park Foundation, which is overseeing the renovation and expansion of Ravensdale Park. Phase one of the project included repair work to existing fields that was completed

in January 2012. Phase two, which the commission recommended the city support, will include the addition of two multipurpose fields. That phase has a $6 million budget and the foundation has asked the city to contribute $2 million over two years.

The other short term recommendations were to pursue different funding sources so that work can begin on Summit Park and to continue to look for ways to partner with the Tahoma School District.

The Summit Park master plan was approved in 2010 with an $18 million price tag. The park is planned to include four fields, five tennis courts, “The longer one basketball court, two playgrounds, two picnic we delay the shelters, a restroom building, trail head access greater the and a walking path around the perimeter of the need is gong park.

Funding for the Ravensdale Park project would also most likely mean new taxes according to Tony McCarthy, the city’s finance director.

The commission’s long term recommendations included continuing to pursue partnership with TSD, pursue the possibility of fields at the Legacy site and make land purchases for future development.

The commission also recommended that the city update the Parks, Recreation, Cultural and Human Services plan. The plan was originally created in 2000 and was last revised in 2008. “The longer we delay the greater the need is going to get,� Mayor Bill Allison said at the council meeting. “It’s too bad that we’re at this point now.�

It’s not always about the last five minutes in sports front of the Daytona’s preliminary show. I like the human interest part of the prelims — they interview and talk to many of the racers about their lives, families and careers. Also, the Zac Brown Band played a couple songs, and being a country music fan, I enjoyed seeing them.

I understand one of the reasons my husband likes to watch the race with his friends is not because he wants to be away from his family, but because he wants to talk about what is going on as it’s happening. On the other hand, I have a philosophy about most sporting events that could potentially anger sports fans who spend many a Sunday watching: only the last five minutes are necessary.

Everything happens in the last five minutes: you find out the winner, if they have to do something crazy to win, it happens then. The worst crashes, most exciting plays and suspenseful moments are because of the stress of the last five minutes, whether it’s racing or football. If you missed a really good play earlier in the match/game/race, it will be replayed 10 times over before the day ends.

But knowing my husband needed to talk about the race while it was on, I decided to try and see if I could write my column while watching the race with him. I didn’t really need to pay attention because my husband would provide the commentary, but could I focus enough to write?

Last Sunday, I sat with my husband and watched the Daytona 500 — it’s NASCAR’s Super Bowl. Except for watching the Olympics, I’m not a sports fan. I feel fortunate my husband isn’t a football/baseball/basketball/soccer fan and the Daytona 500 is only once a year.

After both of us took care of his mother at different times earlier that week and helped our youngest daughter reorganize her room, I felt like I hadn’t spent any time with him. So I promised I’d leave him alone to watch the race if he would stay home instead of meeting friends somewhere — at least he’d physically be here for those hours.

He suggested I watch it with him. I thought, “Yeah, right,� in the utmost sarcastic way and told him he could yell results from the family room into the computer room as I sat scrapbooking.

He understands watching cars go around in left circles doesn’t really do anything for me in terms of entertainment value. I don’t understand the draw. I heard a joke a couple years ago, “How do you outrun an angry NASCAR mob?

Turn right.� That sums up my interest in the Daytona 500. I do, on occasion, like a good figure eight race and demolition derby at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe.

But as race morning dawned and my husband was cooking my usual Sunday breakfast, I found myself in

Turns out I can. I wrote last week’s column and wrote this column all while watching the race. Besides a couple crashes, which were immediately replayed, it did turn out the last five minutes were the most important. The winner was pretty far ahead, but the second and third place racers were passed in the last lap and came in sixth and eighth.

The whole lineup changed in not only the last five minutes, but the last minute.

Even so, for many things in life, it’s the journey that counts. For sports fans, it’s the journey of the whole — watching with friends, yelling at the TV, drinking beer, eating food only pulled out for sporting events, seeing the plays in real time. For me it did turn out to be the journey, the one where I hung out with my husband and watched a whole race while writing.

I’m still glad it’s only once a year but maybe, if it was every weekend, I could write a complete novel.

Cool, damp spring days perfect for gardening March the month you start your garden engine.

Cool, damp days are perfect for cleaning the weeds and debris from garden beds because weed roots will pull most easily from moist soil.

You’ll be more effective and more comfortable if you invest in the cotton gloves with the water-proof finger and palm prints. Buy two pairs so one will always be clean and dry.

To keep these gloves waterproof be sure to cut and file any long fingernails that could poke through the thin, rubber coating.

Waterproof footwear is the next important piece of the wardrobe and if you’ll be working on any type of slope invest in hiking boots with laces. Garden clogs or muck boots are fine for small level yards.

Marianne Binetti

The Compleat Home Gardener

This is the month to March right outdoors and start gardening. There are weeds to pull and smother, perennials to dig and divide, plants to move, trees and shrubs to add and the soulsatisfying, instant gratification that comes from cleaning up the beds.

Don’t use the cool, damp weather as an excuse to stay indoors.

English women are known the world over for their beautiful complexions.

English gardeners insist the damp air is great for the skin - so skip the facial, don’t bother with Botox and invest in more plants instead of more wrinkle creams. Your weeds and your wrinkles might both disappear if you pull on your gloves, get some mud on your boots and make

What’s blooming now at Lake Wilderness Arboretum Welcome! We hope this new column about the Lake Wilderness Arboretum in Maple Valley will create more awareness of the Arboretum and its programs.

With each edition, you’ll learn about this quiet retreat that’s also a robust Northwest ecosystem and outdoor classroom. Walking paths wind through botanical collections,

A waterproof kneeling pad is the third piece of equipment and you can improvise by using an old shower curtain or oil cloth table cloth folded into a rectangle. If you’ll be doing a lot of kneeling then a pair of knee pads or water-proof gardening chaps with padded knees may be the most practical fashion accessory you’ll ever buy.

A 5 gallon bucket, wheel barrow or my personal favorite, a tarp or old bed sheet are all practical places to store your weeds and debris. I like to spread a tarp out flat on the lawn in front of the bed that needs cleaning. Then I can simply toss weeds, leaves and sliced up slugs over my shoulder with a good chance of hitting the mark. Once the bed is cleaned up I fold over the corners of the tarp and either lift it onto a wheelbarrow or drag it right to the compost pile.

A small hand trowel,

light rake and pruning shears are my favorite tools for spring cleaning but if you’re fighting a serious invasion of weeds you may need a sharp hoe or winged-weeder, or even one of those Japanese digging knives called a hori-hori.

Start by pulling the annual shot weeds and digging out the deep rooted perennials like dandelion and buttercup. Use a light, wire rake to collect fallen leaves that are not yet decayed. This will expose any hidden slugs, snails and cut worms. Slice them up then add the remains of these pests to your compostable weeds and leaves.

A mulch is any covering for the soil that helps to seal in moisture and keep new weed seeds from blowing into your newly-cleaned bed. The thicker and more coarse the mulch the better it keeps out weeds but the less refined the look. In large beds that hold trees

cultivated gardens and native forest featuring Western azaleas, fuchsias, rhododendrons, hydrangeas and hellebores among the pines.

Right now, you can find the lovely white Snowdrop flower in bloom. “Snowdrop, Galanthus nivalis, is a very adorable spring perennial,� says garden manager Susan Goodell. “They are among the first bulbs to bloom as winter ends and are such a welcome sight in the garden.�

The Arboretum offers a wide variety of opportunities for members, the local community, service groups and youth groups to volunteer.

and shrubs, thick chunks of bark or wood chips on top of newspaper or cardboard works well. In a perennial, vegetable or flower garden a dark mulch of moo-doo, or composted dairy manure, fine bark or any weed-free compost looks great and also helps to feed the soil.

The secret to less work is more plants. Nature abhors a vacuum so any naked soil will soon sprout weeds. If there is a lot of space in your beds after cleaning out the weeds and debris consider adding more perennials, annuals, shrubs, groundcovers, even placing pots in the beds and adding another level of color. Local nurseries and garden centers offer hellebores, pansies and early-blooming bulbs to pop right into the ground for instant color and also perennials and groundcovers to plant now for displays later in the season.

Early spring is the time to research, explore and

learn more about what plants will do best in the different areas of your garden. Placing the right plant in the right place solves a multitude of garden problems and means less maintenance for years to come. A newly cleaned bed that holds healthy evergreens, trees or flowering shrubs is like a room with great architecture, waiting for the comforting textures and bling of more blooms.

Take a photo or make notes on the color of the existing foliage plants, the amount of sun or shade and the condition of the soil. Then make this the spring of your inspired content by searching out the right accessory plants to highlight the open space in your freshly made beds.

Hemophilia is the name given to a group of bleeding disorders that make blood clotting take a longer than normal time to occur. When the skin is broken and a person starts to bleed, the body takes action and begins a series of events that help the blood to clot. The name of this process is the “coagulation cascade.� The process includes the utilization of proteins called “coagulation factors.� When one or more of these factors are missing, there is a higher chance of excess bleeding because clotting takes longer than it should. In fact, bleeding is the main symptom of the condition. Hemophilia is genetic and affects males more often than females.

Often hemophilia isn’t diagnosed until a person suffers an abnormal bleeding experience. People with a family history of hemophilia should inform their health care providers.

Hemophilia is a lifelong disease, but with proper treatment and self-care, most people with hemophilia can maintain an active, productive lifestyle. Talk to your health care provider if you’re pregnant or considering a pregnancy and have a family history of hemophilia. You may be referred to a medical genetics specialist or a specialist in bleeding disorders, who can help you determine if you are a carrier of hemophilia.

Scientists say most weight gain a result of stress

[ BUILD from page 1] ing — the church offers two services on Sundays, one service on Wednesday, operates a preschool, holds Sunday school classes and also hosts a variety of other events and groups. The congregation currently is home to about 375 people and averages 220 attendees on any given Sunday. “We’ve been growing and growing and growing,�

Kummert said. “The first service has almost doubled since I’ve been in this chair.�

The vision is that by expanding the facilities the church will be able to expand its vision and outreach said Wayne Ingersol, the congregation president. “We don’t have enough space,�Gossman, said. “We’re cramped and bumping into each other all the time. My task was to help the congregation listen to God.�

The project began again in earnest three years ago and in May 2011 a second capital campaign, Rising in Faith, began. That campaign raised almost $500,000 in pledges by congregants. “Within the last three years things have begun to gel,� Ingersol said.

After soliciting bids from several companies, the church hired Signature Custom Homes, a company that specializes in luxury custom homes and has also done light commercial, non-residential projects.

The company is owned by

Bill and Becky Hines, who also attend Peace Lutheran.

The total cost for the project is expected to be between $1.5 and $1.55 million, and the congregation will complete some of the work like landscaping.

The church used some of the money from the original capital campaign to pay off the mortgage on the original building so it would be debt free going into the new building project. The church has taken out a 20 year loan to cover some of the cost and is currently between $100,000 and $130,000 short of being able to finish everything, Moen estimated. “It (deciding to build) was a prayerful discerning process and being mindful of the economic realities,�

Gossman said. “A combo of being led by God and doing the smart thing.�

After a congregational vote where more than 90 percent voted for the project, the church broke ground in January of 2012.

The project has suffered one major delay so far, almost immediately after breaking ground. A fire hydrant needed to be relocated and the church had to work with the water district. “It wasn’t as easy as it sounds,� Moen said. “That probably delayed us three to four months.�

Church leaders hope that construction will be finished by mid June and that they will be able to move

the expense of all other organs if necessary.

In times of stress, the brain spends particularly high amounts of energy, which requires an increase in food intake. During acute stress situations, a rapid spike in energy demand is natural and not harmful. It is different when stress is prolonged. Then it can become a chronic state and as such quite dangerous.

To shed some light on these dynamics, it is important to understand our body’s hormonal responses to stress. Energy in the body is regulated and mobilized by a hormone called cortisol. Cortisol selects the right type and amount of energy to meet the body’s demands when responding to a particular situation. Cortisol is also responsible for mobilizing energy by tapping into the body’s fat stores and moving it to where it’s most needed, primarily in the brain.

Studies in animals and humans have shown that heightened secretion of cortisol is associated with increased appetite, especially for sugar.

In cases of enduring stress, this can stimulate food consumption to the point of overeating with all the detrimental consequences we are so familiar with. Moreover, too much cortisol can slow the metabolism, causing more weight gain than would normally occur. It can also affect fat distribution. Fat in the stomach area is considered a greater health risk than when it’s stored around the hips and thighs.

Ultimately, we will not be able to address the obesity cri-

sis effectively if we continue to ignore the effects of chronic stress on our hormonal system, says Dr. Peters. Asking people to diet and force themselves to lose weight through deprivation can only make things worse. The solution is to de-stress our lives. This doesn’t mean more yoga and meditating, although that can help too, but mostly better socio-economic security and, as a result, peace of mind for more people.

As a point in case he cites a study conducted by the University of Chicago that compared two groups of single mothers from low-income neighborhoods. One group of women was moved to a more upscale area with safer streets, greater job opportunities and better schools, the other was left in place.

Within a few years, most of the women who had moved away showed considerable improvement in their health, especially in reduction of diabetes and obesity. As their stress lessened, their well-being increased on every level.

The new building will include classrooms, office space and a cafe in addition to the new sanctuary which will seat 365. There is also a vision to be able to continue to grow within the new building. When it is completed this summer there will be an unfinished balcony on the second floor, as well as a couple of unfinished classrooms which will

People get fat from eating too much and exercising too little. At least that’s the most widely held explanation for the growing obesity crisis around the world. But it’s not that simple, says Dr. Achim Peters, a professor of neurology at the University of LĂźbeck in Germany and author of “The Selfish Brain – Why Our Brain Sabotages Dieting and Resists the Body.â€?

The worldwide obesity epidemic is in truth a stress epidemic, and unhealthy weight gain is just one of the ills that plague an increasingly stressed population trying to cope with the ever-growing demands of modern life, he says in a recent interview with German news magazine Der Spiegel.

In reality, weight issues are often rooted in socio-economic difficulties like job loss, poverty, rising food prices and other existential uncertainties, he says.

It puts tremendous pressure on people. Stress-producing situations can be immensely damaging to our health, especially when they persist over long periods of time with no reprieve in sight.

Dr. Peters is best known for the “Selfish Brain Theory,� which he developed together with an interdisciplinary team of scientists over a decade ago when researching the origins of obesity.

In essence, the theory describes how the brain takes care of its own needs first when regulating energy distribution throughout the body. It is “selfish� in the sense that it always wins out in any competition for energy resources, at

Upsides of rugby appeal to football players

KENTWOOD PRODUCT QUINN WINS REGIONAL WRESTLING CROWN Cody Quinn, a graduate of Kentwood High and student at Minnesota State, won the 165 pound weight class at the NCAA Division II Super Region 3 Wrestling Tournament Feb. 24. Minnesota State had four wrestlers punch their ticket to the NCAA Division II Wrestling Championship en route to a third place team finish with 84.5 points.

Kent Crusaders Rugby Club open to athletes of all sizes, shapes and abilities

Anyone can play rugby.

Just ask Tahoma High sophomore Dillon May, who runs cross country in the fall, but plays rugby in the spring. He’s not a huge guy yet he’s fallen in love with the sport. And he points to teammate Noah Vaiese, a junior at Kentwood High who is an offensive lineman for the Conquerors football team, which many seem to think is the typical rugby player. “There’s a lot of misunderstandings about rugby,�

May said. “People need to learn about the sport and then you’d see more people play rugby.�

Kentwood’s football coach Rex Norris is the coach of the Kent Crusaders girls rugby team. He encourages his players to participate in a sport in the spring, Vaiese said, and mentions that rugby is among the options. “The thing with football, I was always afraid to hit,�

May said. “Now that I’m older and taller, that helps.

With rugby it will help you react faster in football.

The speed is faster, so, it would definitely help with tackling.�

Vaiese added that football players who participate in rugby in the spring will be in better shape in the fall and have better endurance on the gridiron. “In rugby it’s pretty much continuous action, a 35 minute half with no break except for halftime,� Vaiese said.

Meanwhile, the Kentwood coach’s wife Nathalie Norris teaches French at Tahoma High, and she encouraged her students to try it out. She even offered extra credit, May said, if her pupils would go check out the winter camp at Kentlake.

May went to the camp and had a blast. Then he started going to Sunday touch games. Before long, he was hooked. “It’s been really fun,� May said. “The biggest thing, though I like the speed of the game and the feel of the game, but I really like the camaraderie. It’s such an amazing sport. It’s a sport anyone can play. Both guys and girls can play it. It’s a worldwide sport, so there’s

Hayden Warneke prepares to take on Crusaders coach Jeremy Torres during a ruck drill at practice Feb. 27 at Cedar Heights Middle School. KRIS HILL, The Reporter To view a slide show go to www.maplevalleyreporter.com travel, too. It’s such a great game. It’s something different, too.�

May said that rugby keeps him in shape for cross country while running in the fall helps him stay active so that when spring rolls around, he’s ready for rugby. He can see himself running and playing rugby the rest of his life.

May tried to recruit

friends at school to come out to rugby. He takes the advice of one of the Crusaders boys coaches, Jeremy Torres, who suggests the players ask friends if they like to play touch football or kill the carrier.

If they have, then rugby is just like the latter, but with rules. These conversations are when May runs into the misconceptions of rugby,

particularly the one where people think players have to be big, like football lineman, to be successful.

Vaiese has played rugby for three and a half years.

While he may be big enough to be a high school football lineman, he knows his size may not be enough for college ball. Anyone can play rugby no matter what [ more RUGBY page 13 ]

Kentwood’s quest for its third girls basketball trophy came up short March 1 at the Tacoma Dome.

Gonzaga Prep, behind 30 points by sophomore Otiona Gildon, knocked Kentwood out of the tournament with a 59-44 victory in the consolation bracket of the 4A girls

[ RUGBY from page 12] size. He first tried rugby when a friend invited him. “I wasn’t doing anything in the spring,� Vaiese said. “Football wasn’t my main sport.�

And like May, he was hooked almost instantly. “I’ve fallen in love with it since I came out here,�

Vaiese said. “That’s the good thing about this sport, it brings people together from different schools. And, anyone can run the ball.

It’s a different feeling than football.�

May described rugby as “a brotherhood.�

Vaiese feels the same way.

While there are team bonding events, dinners, and so on, in football, because there are 60 or more players on the team it’s harder to get to know everyone.

With rugby, because there are 20 to 25 players,

Vaiese said, the team can easily feel like family on and off the field.

He knows that sometimes the cost of playing can be an obstacle.

Vaiese explained it’s possible to fundraise all the fees and not have to pay out of pocket if a player is motivated.

And ultimately, the cost is worth it. “You learn a lot of life lessons,� Vaiese said. “Through hard work you can achieve anything. Determination can take you anywhere you want to go. Plus it helps your confidence. It boosts up your confidence because you do something you didn’t think you can do.�

Eyobel Melesse, a junior at Kentwood, played football until his sophomore year.

He was encouraged by his teammates last year to try rugby out. It made sense

Sports News and Notes

as a way to stay in shape for football and wrestling.

Then Melesse fell in love with the sport. “This is my thing, this is my main sport, this is what I concentrate all my efforts on,� Melesse said. “It’s just fun. And some sports are not. Rugby is like coming out, hanging out with my brothers, just playing.�

There are some similarities between rugby and wrestling, too, which Melesse said has helped him on the mat. “A rugby tackle is a lot like wrestling,� Melesse said. “If you can do it in a rugby game when someone is running at you, it’s a lot easier to do when they’re standing still.�

Melesse likes the equality of the game, too. Unlike football, there aren’t stars, it doesn’t all rest on a quarterback, wide receiver or running back.

the spring particularly when it comes to conditioning. “This is a great way to get in shape for football and vice versa,� Warneke said. “And if you run the ball (in football) that helps. Or if you’re on defense, it helps with your tackling.�

When Warneke has tried to recruit friends he’s explained the sport as fun, something not many people know about and, “it’s like football, but, without the pads.�

He also likes the fact there is travel involved, something high school football teams don’t do

“Everybody gets to carry the ball,� Melesse said. “Everybody gets a chance to score. Rugby is the first time I’ve done well in a sport. I’ve tapped into my athletic ability. I trust myself as an athlete.�

Kentlake sophomore Hayden Warneke has been around the sport longer than many of the other guys on the team. He began playing seriously when he was 10. He grew up watching his older brothers play.

When he was in second grade, Warneke would take the ball with him to school. “I just thought it would be fun and I started playing as soon as I could,�

Warneke said.

At the same time he got into rugby he began playing football. He’s a lineman and plays football for Kentlake.

Warneke said rugby is a great sport for football players to participate in during

much of outside of Washington state, but the boys U19 team went to a tournament, PrezFest, in Beaverton, Ore., which they won.

There are plans to travel to California for a tournament and next year international play is on the list.

Thanks to rugby, he’s developed friendships with players from other schools, and even during football season they’re friendly.

Those relationships are his favorite aspect of the sport. “Definitely the family feel of the team, I would never be friends with any of the Kentwood guys except for out here,� Warneke said.

Five Tahoma High School alumni kicked off the NCAA Division one baseball season as starters in different programs across the country.

From the 2008 class, Chris Marangon was the starting pitcher for Ball State University.

From the 2009 class, Zach Aacker started at first base for Seattle University and Brian Olsen, who graduated in 2011, was the starting catcher.

The 2010 class was represented by Jared Casper who opened up at third base for the Oregon State Beavers and Taylor Smart was at second base for the University of Tennessee Volunteers.

Lake Stevens never relinquished the lead in a 52-36 victory in which Pahukoa led all scores with 34 points, 22 of which she scored in the first half. She shot 54.1 percent from the field and pulled in eight rebounds.

Kentwood didn’t have an answer for Pahukoa, a senior who has signed to play for Boise State University, and struggled offensively as well as on the glass.

Toeaina led the Conquerors with 16 points against Lake Stevens in the quarterfinals.

It was a tough end to a roller coaster season which started with players battling illness and injury but ultimately Kentwood finished second in the South Puget Sound League North division, qualified for the state regionals then knocked off Lynnwood in double overtime Feb. 22 to earn the trip to the Tacoma Dome.

Kentwood returns almost the entire team next season, losing two seniors: Kylee Ashley and Allison Newcomb.

Hardwood Classic.

The Bullpups raced out to a 21-8 lead in the first quarter over the Conquerors. By halftime the Conks closed the gap to nine points, 33-24, but they just weren’t able to recover offensively or stop Gildon in the paint.

Juniors Sarah Toeaina and Kate Kramer led Kentwood in scoring, tallying 20 and 13 points respectively. Toeaina was perfect at the free throw line, going 8-for-8 in the game, while Kramer was 7-for-11 at the charity stripe.

Kentwood out rebounded Gonzaga Prep 36-27 but the Bullpups scored 29 points off turnovers compared to the 10 by the Conks.

In the first game Feb. 28, it seemed like Brooke Pahukoa couldn’t miss in the first half for Lake Stevens.

Pahukoa scored her first two points two minutes and 49 seconds into the game to put Lake Stevens up 6-4 against Kentwood in the quarterfinals.

Community news and notes CHS COUNTRY OPERATIONS AND LOCAL CENEX DEALERS KICK OFF CHS HARVEST FOR HUNGER CHS Auburn and their outlying Cenex locations are gathering donations of money and food to help CHS reach its goal of raising more than 2 million meals for hungry families. As part of CHS Harvest for Hunger food and fund drive, CHS Auburn will accept contributions from March 1 through March 20 at its locations in Auburn, Black Diamond, Chehalis, Chimacum, Gig Harbor/Purdy, and Poulsbo, and deliver them to regional food banks. Donations collected will support families using local food banks and Food Lifeline. “We’re excited to participate in CHS Harvest for Hunger,� says Edward Scheetz, general manager. “To support local donations to CHS Harvest for Hunger, CHS Country Operations will also make a contribution to help friends and neighbors right here in our community. This is a wonderful opportunity for all of us to multiply the impact of every donation we make.�

Financial donations are encouraged because they enable food banks to use their buying power to provide nutritious food at deeply discounted rates. In fact, every $1 donated provides between 3.7 and 7 meals.

CHS Auburn is a business unit of CHS Inc., a leading energy, grains and foods global agribusiness owned by farmers, ranchers and cooperatives across the United States. For nearly 80 years, the CHS system has valued volunteerism and

been a responsible steward in its communities; the CHS Harvest for Hunger food and fund drive is designed to harness the power of the 70 CHSowned/locally governed cooperatives to address America’s growing hunger problem. “Hunger is a reality for many,� says Scheetz. “Our goal of helping to harvest more than 2 million meals is within reach, so let’s pull together and show how much the country cares.�

Date of Issuance:

March 8, 2013

Description of Proposal, and Location: The City of Covington proposes to adopt a subarea plan for a portion of the Covington Northern Gateway, referred to as the Hawk Property Subarea. The Hawk Property Subarea is located at the extreme northeast of the City of Covington and encompasses approximately 209 acres on the south side of SR18.

The Hawk Property Subarea primarily consists of the Lakeside gravel mine, vacant land, and a highway interchange. Approximately 134 acres of this area lies within the City’s corporate limits; the remainder lies within the City’s assigned Potential Annexation Area in the King County Urban Grown Area. The subarea plan would establish goals, and a policy framework for the area, including land use and zoning regulations, active and passive open space requirements, and vehicular and pedestrian circulation concepts, and a capital facilities plan.

An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is required under RCW 43.21C.030(2)(c) and will be prepared. An environmental checklist and the Northern Gateway Area Study (August 2012) indicating likely environmental impacts can be reviewed at: City of Covington, Community Development Department, 16720 SE 271st Street, Covington, WA 98042. The City intends to designate the Hawk Property Subarea Plan as a planned action as defined under WAC 197-11-164 and will prepare a Planned Action EIS. Future projects developing under the Planned Action will not require individual environmental review at the time of permit application if they are consistent with the range of alternatives and mitigation studied in the EIS.

Preliminarily, the two action alternatives would include variations of the proposal to designate the Hawk Property Subarea for a mix of retail, office, industrial, and residential uses. The two action alternatives will be developed based upon input from the public, city officials and consultants, the developer, and participants at a community workshop to be held on March 25, 2013 at Covington City Hall.

s e c i v r e S r e t s a E and Events

In the early morning hours on Sunday Kent Fire and Maple Valley Fire responded to a reported structure fire at a business in the 27500 block of Covington Way Southeast.

When firefighters arrived they found peat moss and possibly other materials stored under a metal canopy had caught fire. The small blaze was knocked down and prevented from spreading to other equipment or packaged materials nearby, according to information provided by the Kent Fire Department.

An investigator from the department was working to determine the cause of the fire and make contact with the owners of the business, which is closed on weekends. As of Sunday morning, the cause of the fire did not appear to be suspicious.

No other buildings were involved in the fire.
