Stepping out of the principal’s office

BY KATHERINE SMITH AND MICHELLE CONERLY ksmith@covingtonreporter.com mconerly@kentreporter.com

The principal’s office.

It’s the place that pop culture has enveloped in the stigma of discipline, where punishment is doled out, both just and unjust.

The place the leader of the school retreats to and rules from with an iron fist.

But not every principal is like Mr. Rooney in Ferris Beuller’s Day Off. In the Kent School District a group of principals are bucking the institutional trend and cleaning out their offices, converting them to conference rooms and leaving the traditional idea of what a principal should be behind.

Among them are the principals at Kentlake, Kent-Meridian, Meeker Middle School, and Kent Elementary.

Packing up and moving out is the idea encouraged

by Malachi Pancoast, the founder and president of The Breakthrough Coach.

Full backpacks means full bellies for students

Baeza Lakew slung a backpack over her shoulders so that it hung in front of her then proceeded to move from one pile of food items to the next laid out on a table April 25 at The Storehouse in Covington.

Lakew, 9, was one of six Girl Scouts who met up at the food bank facility located behind Real Life Church to fill backpacks for

students in need at Covington, Crestwood, Cedar Valley and Jenkins Creek elementary schools.

The packs were filled with applesauce, boxed juices, peanut butter cracker sandwiches, and other items. The packs are distributed at the four schools on Fridays then students return them empty on Mondays.

This program was started by the Covington Rotary, the brainchild of past president Kevin Holland, explained Carol Judd, the Rotar-

ian who manages the project for the club.

“Kevin Holland, he had heard there was a program like this in Texas,” Judd said. “He said, ‘There’s this backpack program where the kids get food when they go home for the weekend.’

Historically speaking, kids on free and reduced lunch are a bit squirrely Monday and Tuesday, they settle down by Wednesday.”

But by the time the weekend rolls around and there’s not much food at home, the vicious cycle starts again, but the backpack food program is intended to alleviate that issue.

Covington officials are looking for the right partner to help make the city’s long-term vision for the town center element of downtown a reality.

Since the City Council adopted its downtown plan in 2009, staff and elected officials have worked on a number of elements covered in the plan, which included a concept with COVINGTON a city hall and town center park and plaza where Covington Elementary is currently located on Southeast Wax Road.

In the past six months, explained City Manager Derek Matheson, staff have explored particular funding aspects of a new city hall.

Original Pancake House comes to Maple Valley

BY KATHERINE SMITH

ksmith@maplevalleyreporter.com

The newest addition to Maple Valley, The Original Pancake House, opened at Four Corners Monday morning.

Owners Blake Williams and Ryan Medford, who grew up together in Keizer, Ore., also own the Puyallup OPH and canvased the state for almost three years for a second location before selecting Maple Valley. “The restaurant industry in most people’s view is a risky endeavor,� Medford said. “We had to scratch and claw our way.�

What today has become a franchise, OPH started with two locations in Portland, not far from the town where Williams and Medford grew up.

The pair didn’t originally intend to go into the industry, they were considering their options after they finished their undergrad studies and they new a man who owned a couple of OPH locations. Medford was halfway through a Masters program and Williams went to one day of law school when they both decided to give it up and focus on someday owning their own restaurant. Williams worked in an OPH for two and a half years while they planned, secured investors and applied for a loan for the rest of the capital they would need. “We were told by multiple people in the banking industry if we had applied a week or two later we would have been stonewalled,�

Williams said.

Community News and Notes WINGS OF KAREN TEAMS UP WITH SEATTLE SOUNDERS WOMEN Wings of Karen, a Maple Valley based organization dedicated to raising funds for local breast cancer research, is teaming up with the Sounders

Sounders Women players and staff will host a one-hour clinic prior to the match against the University of Washington on May 10. The clinic, which will begin at 5:30 p.m. and is open to boys and girls age 6 to 18. The cost for the clinic is $100 and all proceeds will

Medford said their loan was approved the same day as the bailout in 2008. “It was a terrible time to go into business,� Medford said.

That first location opened in 2009 and after a few years the hunt was on for a second location. “We really like the Maple Valley area and it’s close enough to our other store,�

Medford said. “What we’ve learned about Maple Valley is it’s exploding.�

Being from a small town, Medford and Williams said Maple Valley has a dynamic they appreciate and are drawn to. “We look for markets that have that strong sense of community,� Williams said.

Medford and Williams believe it is the quality of their food that sets them

apart from other breakfast options. “What differentiates us is that everything is made from scratch‌ we don’t have freezers or microwaves,â€? Medford said. “When we say from scratch‌ we literally mean everything‌ everything starts with water and flour.â€?

Finding the location proved the biggest challenge for Williams and Medford who said they looked from Spokane to Vancouver. After choosing the location it was a matter of setting to work recreating the space, which had formerly been a state run liquor store. “We’re thrilled with what our contractor has done,�

Medford said.

In addition to the clinic, the package includes two match tickets, an official Sounders Women scarf or U-23 shirt, VIP pre-match field tour, a Sounders Women poster, kickin’ it with the Sounders Women shirt and the chance to win other prizes.

XXX DPWJOHUPOSFQPSUFS DPN t XXX NBQMFWBMMFZSFQPSUFS DPN [ OFFICE from page 1] Basically the idea is this: increasing time spent in classrooms equals better teacher coaching and feedback which equals higher student achievement and the organization the model demands will translate into decreasing working hours for often overscheduled administrators.

Below we take a look at what this idea means in practice for the principals at Kentlake and Kent-Meridian and how it’s changing the environment and the culture of the two schools.

ROYAL REVOLUTION If you’re looking for Wade Barringer, principal of Kent-Meridian High School, it might take some time.

Searching the office with his name printed above, you’ll find his trusty office manager, Kathi Reichert, answering phones and scheduling meetings.

Looking in the conference room across the hall, he might be there typing away on his laptop from time to time, but most likely, you can find Barringer sitting in the back of a K-M classroom, listening, watching, and interacting with students.

As of November, Barringer and Reichert now follow the Breakthrough Coach method, a model that allows professionals to be more efficient and present by giving up office space. “It’s not rocket science,�

Reichert said. “The less distractions you have, the more intentional you’ll be at your job.�

Barringer, who heard of this new model from a colleague, brought Reichert to

a two-day seminar last fall where the speaker emphasized better scheduling of your time, focusing on your specific job duties, and ditching the big office. “He used a sports manager or coach as an example,�

Barringer said. “So like Pete Carroll of the Seahawks — where does he coach the team from? Does he coach them from his office ‘cause he has an office or does he coach from the field? And using the field analogy for the classroom where the work gets done, where the plays happen, where the adjustments and impact happens—it just kind of resonated with me.�

So Barringer and Reichert got busy purging old files, packing up family pictures, and relocating Barringer’s book collection to the staff lounge where it’s now a resource library. “We threw away three recycle bins full of stuff,�

Reichert said.

The next step was to move Reichert into Barringer’s office. Her old office had a window and door that faced the hallway, but with her new job duties, Reichert needed a space away from outside distractions.

Now in her new office, she’s able to keep herself and Barringer on task. “I call her my boss,� Barringer said. “She just tells me what to do, where I’m supposed to be, (and) what I should be doing.�

Reichert screens all of Barringer’s phone calls and schedules his calendar to the minute of every day. In the mornings, they meet for 20 minutes to go over the day’s schedule and to sign papers. “I (don’t) ever feel stressed out,� Reichert said.

The changes were made

day.�

OUT OF THE BOX AT KENTLAKE

Kentlake Principal Joe Potts talks to a student during a coaching day April 25. Potts’ new approach puts him in classrooms and connecting with kids more than ever. VANESSA HASSLINGER, For the Reporter so that Barringer can coach from the field instead of getting caught up in all the “administrivia� or, “the frustrating, administrative responsibilities that tax leaders every single day� he said.

For a few hours on any given day, Barringer shuts down his laptop that sits in the conference room, picks up his iPad, and walks around the school. He’ll then pop into any classroom he chooses, sit in the back, and observe. “I do my emails in the classroom,� he said. “I may or may not be listening to everything that’s going on in the classroom, (but) I’m pretty good at multitasking.�

Depending on the class, Barringer might walk around during independent work time and ask the students questions or stand next to a student who should be paying more attention. “When we started this in November, we saw an increase in teachers stepping

up their game (and) we saw a decrease in discipline,�

Barringer said. “(Kids) have a tendency to be a little bit more behaved when the suit walks in the room and sits in back.�

For teachers and staff, this new model allows them to speak with the principal during passing periods or right after class instead of having to make an appointment with him in his office. Most were enthusiastic about the changes, yet some are still getting used to Barringer not having a dedicated office. Luckily, he’s the principal, and can find a quiet spot if need be. “If I need a space, I got space,� he joked. “I’m the principal. It’s my building. I can find a space. It’s not like (I’ve) got no place to go.�

Another aspect of the change is the drastic cut in hours both Reichert and Barringer spent after school. Pancoast told the conference attendees that both principal and secretary are to leave work at the same time. And now that all

of his time is scheduled and work itemized, Barringer is able to head home around 4 p.m. most days to spend time with his family.

The extra time also allowed Barringer and Reichert to start a new project this year that they call their contract kids — a group of students with attendance issues, failing grades, and poor behavior who are tracked by Barringer and Reichert in an effort to not let them fall through the proverbial cracks. Every couple of weeks, these students meet one-on-one with Barringer to check in and see how they’re improving.

The switch to this new model is something Barringer hopes will continue at K-M long past his time as principal there. But the changes he’s made have breathed new life into his 6-year tenure. “It’s brought me back to my roots and beliefs about how and why I’m here,� he said. “I wouldn’t have a job if we didn’t have kids and teachers so it’s important I’m out and about living what they’re living every-

A simple question about a hat, “Is that military?� opened the door to a conversation between Kentlake Principal Joe Potts and a student in a math class.

Within a minute Potts was engaged with all the students in the table group asking them about the material and helping them through a math problem. “I didn’t know that boy before we went in,� Potts said in the hallway a few minutes later. “Now I know his name. I know he goes duck hunting with his dad, and the next time I see him in the hallway I can talk to him about that.�

I (Katherine) brought along Vanessa Hasslinger, a job shadow student from the Auburn School District, to follow Potts last week during one of his newly designated coaching days.

What we saw was a day full of these kinds of interactions.

The idea of a principal giving up his office is an extremely relational one.

Giving up his office means being out in the school. It means being in the hallways, in classrooms, in the cafeteria, and interacting with students and teachers. “Ask three people, you’ll get three different answers,�

Potts said of how he thinks he is seen within the school.

However, to see him walking down the hallways during a passing time it’s clear that he is respected and liked by many, if not most, students. Greetings, hand shakes and quick conversations are plentiful. He knows students names and he makes the time for them, pausing to ask or answer a question in the hall. [ more OFFICE page 13 ]

Shopping local helps our city Guest Commentary

Levies, taxes, bonds‌ oh my!

I think I can hear the collective groan from all of us when we hear these words. We think about what it means to us on a personal level and what we pay, but it also means that we are failing in this area and need to raise more money. By failing, I mean from the standpoint of not having enough tax revenue in our community.

Our schools are such a perfect example of this. After the last bond failure I sat on one of the committees the district created trying to come up with some ideas on how to pass a bond the community will accept, and what we could remove from this bond so that it will be acceptable but not fail our kids going forward. I also found myself trying to understand why Kent schools never have to focus on this issue. That district is absolutely blessed with so many businesses that KSD officials don’t have to worry about the tax revenue coming in. How do we do this? How can our community get to this point?

I get the fact that our city limits are significantly smaller. But so is the size of our school district. Great, we don’t need as much tax revenue but we still need enough to support what we have and want to keep. When business makes a sale, tax is collected and profits are made.

Taxes go to the state and the community where the business is located. Any profit goes to the business owners, either a corporation — usually in another state — or to a local person who in turn will spend that money again locally.

During the next few months I would like to take time to introduce the community to our local businesses — who the owners are, what they want us to know about their business, why they came to our community, where they volunteer and how our community impacts their bottom line.

I think that as a community, if we wrap our arms around these local businesses and support

From World War I to Boston

BY RICH ELFERS

Scan this code and start receiving local news on your mobile device today!

In 1915, during World War I, Imperial Germany made a fateful decision that has rippled down to us in the recent Boston Marathon bombings. Kaiser Wilhelm, in desperation over the British naval blockade of Germany, ordered a German U-boat to sink the British ocean liner Lusitania off the coast of Ireland.

Of the 1,119 passengers who died, 114 were Americans.

This act enraged Americans and was one of the leading causes of U.S. entry into the conflict. Based upon Bill Moyers’ video history of World War I, the reason Americans turned against Germany over this sinking was based upon a code of honor followed by the combatants. That honor code stated that noncombatants were not to be targeted during a war.

them the way they support our community, we will see such a profound impact for all of us. We have so many businesses here in town that are not on Highway 169 or Kent-Kangley. They are out of their homes, off the beaten path, out in Ravendsale or Hobart, but bottom line, they all contribute to our community.

As a mom I have often found myself with the dilemma of fitting things into my budget, couponing and the guilt of leaving town to shop.

I have realized it isn’t always possible to do all of these things, so I have made some adjustments.

I do still coupon since this allows me to keep more money in my budget for other things I want to splurge on.

These splurges I typically spend in town. I get my coffee here — we have eight locally owned stands — buy my party supplies in town, enjoy meals or desserts with the family right here and so much more. I have had so many comments about locally owned businesses being more expensive.

Here are a couple of things to think about: they do not always have the purchasing power of a large business. Those large businesses also do not put as much money back into our commu-

Germany broke that code with the sinking of a supposedly unarmed passenger liner.

The torpedoing of the Lusitania caused Americans to believe that Germans were savages and barbarians, not really fully civilized or part of the modern world. That act marked a turning point in attitudes toward targeting civilians. Since that time the attitude has evolved from avoiding the targeting of civilians to making them the target.

During World War II targeting civilians became a part of Allied policy with the day and night bombings of German cities. Hundreds of thousands of civilians died because of these attacks. “If need be, as the war went on, we hoped to shatter almost every dwelling in almost every German city� (official transcript of the meeting at the Kremlin between Winston Churchill and Josef Stalin on Aug. 12, 1942, at 7 p.m.). It was anticipated that the targeting of civilians would destroy morale as well as kill industrial workers who worked in the factories.

What had been acts of barbarism by Germans in World War I had become policies of the Allies against Germany and Japan in

nity. These large businesses do not usually volunteer in our community like our local business owners.And, these large businesses do not have a vested interested in our schools, parks etc., because their children do not live here.

Please keep in mind, even if you are spending a couple of more cents at a local business this is money that is reinvested right here. As all of these cents add up it may help to balance budgets and growth for our police and fire, our schools, parks and levies, bonds and taxes may not be something we have to vote on every year.

Together, we can all make a difference right here in the community that we love. Please help to support our local businesses and ultimately our schools, police and fire, parks, community services and so on.

World War II. After World War II it was, ironically, the Jewish terrorist group Irgun that set the example of terrorism for the world by bombing the King David Hotel in Jerusalem in 1946, killing nearly 100 people. This attack would set the tone for future terrorist bombings. Those who had been persecuted became the persecutors.

With the rise of terrorist attacks, civilians became the targets rather than collateral damage. The attacks on the Twin Towers in New York on Sept. 11, 2001, are an example of this.

The goal was to instill terror in Americans. It worked. The World Trade Center represented American business and capitalism. That’s why it was chosen. The attack on the Pentagon was an attack against the U.S. military. That at least made some sense for its symbolic value.

The Boston Marathon attack went one step further by picking an event that had no symbolic meaning in regard to American capitalism or government. It was a senseless blow on average Americans. For what reason? It seems just to kill and maim people. [ more BOSTON page 5 ]

[ BOSTON from page 4] Today, terrorism’s main goal is to kill and maim in a public way to gain as much publicity as possible.

Sometimes the murders are done for religious reasons, as in the case of 9/11, and sometimes like the killings of children and teachers at Newtown, and at the movie theater in Aurora, the issue seems to be mentally unbalanced people going on a rampage.

There appears to be a common thread in all these killings: one group of people has decided to turn another group of people into objects – rather than living breath-

Brown said bonds and private contributions, which would likely come from the user groups, could fund some portions of projects.

The top projects in the 2013 budget the council would consider if there was funding would be Summit Park and Lake Wilderness, both of which have approved master plans.

Another project which has been talked about for years, Brown said, is the replacement of the community center facility. “When you have competing needs, choices have to be made,� Brown said in relation to the projects the city would consider and other needs that residents have to weigh like last week’s fire district levies and a potential school bond.

ing human beings like themselves. This tendency to objectify one’s enemies is a common practice and is an excuse for treating others badly.

That seems to be the attitudes of the two young men who wreaked havoc on the Boston area in recent weeks.

To them, the people they killed and maimed were really not human. They somehow were seen as different and therefore inferior to the attackers. How else could they have treated others so brutally?

That is the danger we all face in a lesser way when we deal with people who are different from us – we turn them into objects rather than people who have feelings and thoughts like we do. That is a tendency we all struggle with. Few will actually carry out such brutality as was seen in Boston and Newtown, but we all have a tendency under pressure and injustice to turn those who oppose us and who differ from us into things – objects.

That is a lesson we can gain from such terrible events.

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.

Council members will participate in a council retreat in May, at which point city staff plan to continue the discussion of park funding. “I think we’re just scratching the surface,� said Councilwoman Linda Johnson. “It’s a matter of prioritizing the needs and having the citizens weigh in.�

The decision to run a bond or levy will be up to council members, who will also decide when to place such a measure on the ballot. “It (running a bond or levy) is an eight to 12 month process,� Brown said. “It’s logical, if council wants to proceed, then 2014.�

No matter which way you slice it, more fields in Maple Valley are going to mean higher taxes for residents.

This spring Maple Valley City Council members are considering what funding options are available to meet the city’s needs for parks and fields.

The conversation began in ernest when the parks commission presented to the council at the March 4 city council meeting. The commission offered up a variety of funding possibilities including creating a metropolitan park district and a voted capital bond.

The commission also recommended several projects it felt that the city should focus on or contribute to including Summit Park and Ballfields, Ravensdale Park and improvements to Lake

Council members heard an additional report on the possibilities of a metropolitan park district at the City Council meeting April 8 from the city’s Director of Finance Shawn Hunstock and Director of Parks and Recreation Greg Brown. “There isn’t a lot that the city could do that wouldn’t need to be voter approved,�

Hunstock said.

A metropolitan park district is a junior taxing district, similar to fire or hospital districts.

One bonus of an MPD is the flexibility and range of options for creating a district. A MPD can be created for a specific project or as a more general fund.

An advantage of a MPD is that it can cover not only the initial construction costs but also maintenance and administrative fees. “A voted bond levy is

The big backyard barbecue birthday bash even without pictures are just enchanting to me.

My kids loved this book and it was one my husband and I didn’t mind reading over and over. In fact, we memorized it. So when I decided the book must come out for the birthday party, and I must create a cake to reflect the spirit of the book, I went looking for it on our shelves.

I like keeping some of my children’s childhood books for a couple reasons: one is sometimes a memory will get sparked and they’ll go looking for the book, the other reason is writing Gretchen Leigh

Living with Gleigh

We celebrated my oldest daughter’s 18th birthday last week. She had a Big Backyard Barbecue Birthday Bash with 20 or so of her friends. It was exactly what it sounds like, with a little twist in the form of an inside family memory.

Notice the use of the letter B in the theme.

When we came up with the long title for the birthday invitations, it reminded us of the children’s picture book “Berenstain’s B Book.�

As a writer, there are a few children’s books I find to be works of genius — the way the words roll off the tongue and the fantastic images they conjure up

Scholarship deadline approaching Covington Rotary is offering six scholarships for graduating seniors and adult learners over age 24. The application deadline for 2013-14 scholarships is May 13.

children’s books is one of my personal interests. I did have my kids sort out their childhood books several years ago, saving only their absolute favorites, which whittled the collection down to one shelf. It’s a long shelf, so we are not wanting for children’s books. Surely, the B Book would be on the shelf.

Alas, no B Book. I’m not sure if my kids got rid of it or if it inadvertently ended up in the giveaway pile, but it was nowhere to be found.

I checked Amazon — it’s out of print and I didn’t have time to wait for it to be shipped.

Desperate to find it so I could create an authentic cake, I went online to Finally Found Books, the used book store in Black

Diamond. They didn’t have it cataloged on their website. On a hunch, I thought they may not catalog their picture books because the owner gives any child who visits the store a free book, so I drove out there.

There on the shelf, in all its glory, was “Berenstain’s B Book!� I was so elated I stood in front of the owner and read him the book.

He probably thought I was crazy, but there were no other customers in the shop, so I had no one else to scare off. It’s pitiful how happy finding that book made me — apparently, I don’t get out enough.

I’m not a cake artist by any stretch of the imagination, so I scanned and printed the picture of the Big Brown Bear, Blue Bull

and Beautiful Baboon blowing bubbles biking backward, cut it out, attached it to heavy paper and put it on a stick. I made three 9x9 cakes, frosted them together in one long sheet cake and stuck the bicycling animals in it. Then I created little cars out of fun sized candy bars, gummy wheels, and an M&M steering wheel with Teddy Grahams driving and put them on the cake.

The cars the Big Brown Bear’s bicycle had already barged through were tossed around the cake; with the cars about to be run over driving crazily to avoid it. I figured there was nothing my 18-year-old would like more than destruction and mayhem on her birthday cake. I was right, she loved

it. And even if her friends didn’t understand the idea of the cake, it was fitting that we paid homage to a bit of her childhood on her 18th birthday.

I’ve always theorized that as long as the cake is awesome, the party will be too.

Kent School District No. 415, 12033 SE 256th Street, Kent, WA 98030, is seeking coverage under the Washington State Department of Ecology’s Construction Stormwater NPDES and State Waste Discharge General Permit.

The proposed project, Kentwood High School Synthetic Track and Field is located at 12033 SE 256th Street in Kent, in King County.

This project involves 3.7 acres of soil disturbance for construction activities associated with installation of a new synthetic Track and Field at Kentwood High. Construction activites include replacing the underdrained natural field with an underdrained synthetic field, replacing the asphalt track, adding a 10 foot asphalt maintenance strip around the facility, expanding the spectator stand areas, and adding asphalt D-areas for pole vault and high jump.

Stormwater will be discharged to Soos Creek. Prior to discharge, stormwater will be conveyed to and open bottom detention facility where it will be released, at a controlled rate, into an unnames stream which ultimately discharges into Soos Creek.

Any persons desiring to present their views to the Washington State Department of Ecology regarding this application, or interested in Ecology’s action on this application, may notify Ecology in writing no later than 30 days of the last date of publication of this notice. Ecology reviews public comments and considers whether discharges from this project would cause a measurable change in receiving water quality, and, if so, whether the

project is necessary and in the overriding public interest according to Tier II antidegradation requirements under WAC 173-201A-320.

XXX DPWJOHUPOSFQPSUFS DPN t XXX NBQMFWBMMFZSFQPSUFS DPN [ TOWN from page 1] fall the council asked us whether we could use our current city hall lease payments to borrow money and build a city hall in the town center,� Matheson said. “So, we hired an architect who has done a number of city halls around the region to do a city hall feasibility study.�

A first draft of that study was presented to the council in February. Following that, Matheson said, council members asked for an update of the study with information included which assumed the city would lease out some of the space of a new city hall building to tenants who would later move out as the city staff grew into it.

That update was presented April 23 to the council. “It showed that it would cost us in debt service about $1.3 million per year to build a new city hall and that’s after deducting rent we could get from potential tenants,�

Matheson said. “Our current (lease) payment is $475,000 so that puts us about $800,000 per year short. The council recognized (at its April 23 meeting) that we aren’t in a position to build a city hall right now but they gave a couple of directions.�

The council collectively felt that the process to increase transportation revenue through a voter-approved sales tax increase — as recommended by the city’s Budget Priorities Committee report in late Decem-

ber — was an excellent one, Matheson said.

Thus, the City Council wanted staff to use a similar process in the future to fund parks and recreation.

To that end, then, council directed staff to include facilities such as a new city hall and town center park in the funding mechanism for parks and recreation as that is developed in the future. Council also directed staff to consider creative partnerships with developers which could lead to a new building in which the city could lease space with an eye toward eventual ownership.

Getting creative in partnering with developers is another idea staff floated at the City Council summit in January, Matheson said, specifically with a new idea called the town center alternative process which they’re calling TCAP. This idea first came up when staff compared what the city has done thus far with what it is doing with the Hawk property off Southeast 256th. Covington staff have worked with the current owners and YarrowBay, which is in the process of purchasing the property, on creating a vision for it which the developer will build out.

Matheson said that model could also work for town center. The City Council liked the idea in January when it was first suggested, but wanted to get some other elements in place before considering it fur-

ther. At the April 23 meeting staff requested putting together a request for qualifications with the idea it would be put out some time this summer so a developer could be found to help work on a new city hall and the other elements of the vision for town center. “As part of this town center alternative process the planning commission is working on an ordinance that would allow development agreements,� Matheson said. “Right now the town center has very specific zoning, what you can and can’t do, but in many ways the overall vision is more important than the specific zoning.�

As often happens with creative ideas, city staff aren’t sure if the TCAP idea will work. “We don’t have money to bring to the table, but we do have other things like an interest to build a city hall and like the right of first offer on Covington Elementary,�

Matheson said. “The main value of the new city hall study at this point is if a developer comes forward and wants to build office space in the town center and sign the city up as a tenant, we know exactly what space we need or if a public process to look at parks, recreation and facilities funding we know exactly what it would cost.�

Another factor is how the Kent School District will deal with the sale of the property. In 2012 the city of Covington negotiated for and won the right of first offer for on legislative issues,� Hargrove said. “While it is disappointing the state budget is still a work in progress, I would like to give folks an update on where things stand and the budget proposals being negotiated. .�

The 2013 regular session adjourned April 28. The state budget is still in negotiations, so the Legislature will reconvene May 13 for a special session

the property. But there are other elements of the future of the land that are out of the city’s control. A partnership with a private developer could make Covington’s side of the deal go more smoothly. “The school district property is shown in our town center plan as the location for city hall and town center park,� Matheson said. “We have the right of first offer to purchase the property but we don’t have the funds to purchase it so one of the reasons for this TCAP RFQ is to have a developer who could exercise the right of first offer on the city’s behalf.�

City officials are working with the legislature to get $50,000 to fund a town center study, which would determine how much tax revenue the town center concept could generate as well as how much the supporting infrastructure would cost. That information is what the city needs, Matheson said, to win federal and state grants to help pay for streets, parks and even city buildings.

Still, the city would need to find other cash streams to pay for the realization of its vision for town center. “Grants and voter approved funding are going to be the primary way we build this,�

Matheson said. “Our budget is just able to provide essential local government services, it’s not able to fund a large, ambitious vision to create a town center out of nothing.�

Lifestyle related ills tend to multiply with age Timi Gustafson

and found that most had at least one chronic health condition.

What was more alarming, however, was that many had overlapping ailments. While high blood pressure and heart disease were most common, nearly half of the assisted-living residents showed signs of dementia.

“These findings suggest a vulnerable population with a high burden of functional and cognitive impairment,� the authors of the study report wrote.

Many studies have suggested a link between vascular disease and dementia, particularly Alzheimer’s, said Dr. P. Murali Doraiswamy, a professor for

psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Duke University’s Institute for Brain Science.

Therefore it may not be possible to treat dementia without treating vascular problems, he added.

But that may be easier said than done. “We don’t universally do a great job of how we treat conditions that overlap, for example Alzheimer’s and high blood pressure,� said Dr. Cythia M. Boyd, an associate professor of geriatric medicine at the John Hopkins University Center on Aging and Health, to the New York Times. “Much of the way we practice medicine is looking at disease by disease.

We aren’t doing enough thinking about how to add them together and really integrate care.�

What makes things more complicated is that most doctors are not sufficiently trained in preventing or reducing lifestyle related illnesses – not in the general public and certainly not in older patients – other than through medicating. For instance, the importance of nutrition as a part of preventive care is rarely ever mentioned in medical schools. The approximate time devoted to nutrition science over the first two years of medical education is six hours, which is clearly inadequate, according to the National Academy of Sciences.

The same goes for other health promoting measures such as exercise, especially for the aging population.

Yet many studies have provided compelling evidence that diet and exercise play a significant role for physical and mental health at any time in life but in-

creasingly so as we age.

For example, a more recent study from Britain concluded that the so-called Western diet, which typically includes fried, sweet and processed foods, red meat, refined grains and high-fat dairy products, increases the risk of chronic diseases, which in turn can adversely affect both physical and mental health in later years.

Eating a Western diet makes it less likely to have an ideal aging process, says Dr. Tasnime Akbaraly, a researcher at the University College of London and lead author of the study report.

Conversely, making dietary improvements can yield multiple benefits in this regard.

There is also further evidence that exercise can give a boost to the aging brain.

Scientists at the University of British Columbia found that older women who suffered from mild cognitive impairment could improve their memory through weight training and brisk walking.

The connections between physical and mental decline may not yet be completely understood, but it seems clear that chronic diseases play a major role in the process.

While these are widespread, the encouraging news is that many, if not all, are preventable by healthier lifestyle choices.

These common annuals are tough enough to survive outdoors even if we get a late cold spell. There are plenty of other annuals that can go into containers this week with no problems and in general plants with thick, shiny or stiff foliage are less tender or prone to damage from cold or frost.

But it is not safe for all plants‌.

Tender plants to coddle a bit longer: Coleus – this is the flashy foliage plant with the brightly colored leaves often enjoyed as houseplant.

Coleus should be planted outdoors with caution this month. If you purchase coleus plants from a garden center where they have been growing outdoors but under cover and you bring them home to a protected area near the house, your Marianne Binetti

(253) 395-1972

We are all going to be busy during the lusty month of May. Time for color, time for planting most annuals and bedding plants, time to fertilize roses, perennials and young vegetable starts and time to buy a new pair of gardening gloves – this is the month for planting, weeding, feeding, seeding and pleading with the weather.

Plant annuals now – with a few words of caution Most annuals or bedding plants can safely go outdoors this week, especially hanging baskets and plants put into pots and kept close to warmth of the house or under the cover of a roof eave.

Worry free color to plant now: geraniums, alyssum, petunias, calibrochoas, begonias, cordyline, swan river daisies, diascia, lobelia and more.

coleus might adapt just fine.

Coleus planted directly into the cold ground after spending time in a heated greenhouse will pout, drop leaves, turn pale and commit suicide even if there is not a frost – any time the temperature is near 40 degrees, coleus plants can have a meltdown.

Basil – Gourmet chefs need fresh basil and this easy-to-grow herb is full of nutrition and flavor – but don’t plant basil outdoors until mid-June. This heatloving herb may survive the cold nights of May but it won’t be happy about it.

As a result your basil plant will punish you all summer with lackluster growth and a dismal attitude. Buy basil plants this month but enjoy them indoors sitting on the kitchen counter near a bright window. Harvest the fresh leaves and enjoy in sandwiches, salads and soup. Pamper the plants by letting them sit in the sunshine outdoors on warm days. Just be sure to move

them indoors at night if the temps are 40 degrees or less.

Tomatoes – Nope, it is not safe to set all tomato plants outdoors just yet.

Just like basil, eggplant and peppers, tomatoes are heatlovers and even if they do survive the cold nights we get in May, tomato plants will remember the insult like a cold slap in the face.

Warm-season vegetables like tomatoes will just stop growing and become stunted if you set them out too soon. Better to purchase your tomato plants in the month of June or keep your young plants close to the house and haul them under cover at night. A practical way to get an early start is to group potted tomato plants in a wagon or wheel barrow and then move the collection into a garage or garden shed when it becomes cold or rainy.

WHAT IS HEPATITIS? Hepatitis is a broad spectrum name given to a group of different illnesses that all have one thing in common: inflammation of the liver. There are several different causes of hepatitis, and several different types. Acute hepatitis is when the liver is inflamed for less than six months, and chronic hepatitis lasts for longer than six months. Hepatitis viruses, including A, B, C, D, and E, cause hepatitis. The Epstein-Barr virus, which causes mononucleosis, can also cause hepatitis, as can the chickenpox virus. In addition, drugs, alcohol, and environmental toxins can cause the liver to swell. Fat built up around the liver can also cause the disease. Each type of hepatitis is treated differently.

Treatment for hepatitis is specific to its cause, which means that your physician will choose the best therapy for you based on your diagnosis. In the case of viral hepatitis, some viruses do respond to antiviral treatment. In certain acute cases, no drug is needed. Getting the proper treatment is important because the faster your hepatitis is under control, the better your liver will be.

To schedule an appointment, please call Southlake Clinic at (253) 395-1972. Our primary care providers are part of a multispecialty physician network and are also available on Saturdays.

Sometimes called Patio Tropics, these bodacious bloomers won’t survive the winter but they can be enjoyed all summer long in their original containers – no transplanting required.

Patio tropics offer instant, vibrant color for a patio or deck. Just remember, these are also warm season plants so if you invest in one of these show-stopping divas or impress Mom with one as a gift they will need protection from the cold if temperatures hover near 40 degrees or less.

[12] May 3, 2013 [ BACKPACKS from page 1] the staff at Cedar Valley and Covington elementary schools to see if there was an interest. “It is a blind thing,� Judd said they told the school staff members. “We’ll number the backpacks, you decide who needs them and pass them out. They said, ‘That sounds fabulous.’�

In the beginning, the Rotary club worked with the Maple Valley Food Bank as well as The Storehouse, which is supported by a

XXX DPWJOHUPOSFQPSUFS DPN t XXX NBQMFWBMMFZSFQPSUFS DPN consortium of churches in the area. Judd explained that both had facilities where they could pack and the staff at both food banks knew how to shop to get the most bang for Rotary’s buck. Money for the program has been raised at the club’s annual auction as the Fund-An-Item selection.

Judd said she learned about a similar program in Des Moines, asked the coordinators there what they give the kids to come up with the list. “We want to make sure

they have breakfast and lunch, assuming they’re having dinner with their parents,� Judd said. “The trick with the food is we’re feeding anything from a kindergartener to sixth grader so they have to be able to pop it open, eat it or heat it.�

Another element of the project was finding packers, Judd said. “When we initially did this we wanted the community to embrace this, so, the people who come and fill the bags on Thursdays

clean up with the lowest rates of the season Hurry, these low interest rates won’t last much longer. Apply now before time runs out.

are Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, churches ‌ we have no problem finding packers. It’s been a really cool domino effect of people calling and saying, ‘I want to do it.’ The community is getting involved and to me, that’s the beauty of the whole thing.â€?

There is a greater need right now at Covington and Cedar Valley, where more than 70 packs are distributed weekly during the school year, while between 15 and 20 are handed out at Crestwood and Jenkins Creek.

According to the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction’s website, in May 2012 67.2 percent of students at Cedar Valley were on free or reduced lunch while that number was 52.4 percent at Covington Elementary, Crestwood was at 31 percent and Jenkins Creek was at 45.5 percent. “The first year we did (Covington and Cedar Valley) and then we expanded to Crestwood and Jenkins Creek,� Judd said. “Then we’ve increased the quantity at the other two schools because they have a higher need we fill 75 bags at both of those schools but we could increase that and still not fill their need.�

Angela Stave, family and community engagement facilitator at Covington Elementary, said there are another dozen or so students there who could benefit from the weekly backpack full of food. “It is a program for us that has grown each year that it’s been here,� Stave

said. “Thanks to the Rotary, we’ve been able to add some families each year. Students and families are appreciative of it.�

Feedback from families and teachers at Covington Elementary has been nothing but positive, though, because it’s such an efficient program, Stave said, it flies under the radar of the community. “I know for a fact when there are weeks we don’t get it and kids don’t have food over the weekend it’s harder for them to come back and learn when they’re hungry,� Stave said. “If they have food over the weekend they come back ready to learn on Monday morning.

I’ve heard wonderful things from our staff, from our families. I have heard from a teacher or two that they notice attendance is higher on Fridays once the child gets the backpack, so, it’s an encouragement for them to be here and pick that up.�

Another positive element of the program is it has attracted helpers to the school who weren’t previously involved. There are parents who volunteer each Friday, Stave said, who sort the packs when they arrive then deliver them to the classrooms. “These were parents who weren’t weekly volunteers before,� Stave said. “Because they knew it was a specific need at a specific time every week, they stepped up. It’s cool to see those families helping others.�

That volunteer spirit has spread to the staff, too.

Once a month a team of teachers stuff the packs.

“I’ve seen that pool of teachers grow, as well, and some even bring their kids to help so their kids are helping other people,� Stave said. “This is something concrete, they know when it needs to be done and that helps them schedule it.

For some of the volunteers it becomes a family affair, they bring their husbands, they bring their kids.�

Students see the weekly backpack pick up as a good thing. “They’re excited to get it, they’re excited to have it to take home over the weekend,� Stave said. “That’s a positive behavior. Kids know we’re going beyond the basic academics to take care of them.�

When the program began, Judd said, the other goal was to simply get it rolling. “Our really big picture is to pass this on to another organization,� Judd said. “We just wanted to start it and have someone else embrace it, but we’re not having any luck. What we need is the funding, the money.

We’re getting an awful lot of money from our friends and family, but, we need to take it to the next level.�

For now, it’s rolling along, supported by community members, Rotarians and school staff members but most importantly, those full backpacks on Fridays lead to full bellies over the weekends for elementary students. “Their attention is increased, their focus is increased, their grades increased,� Judd said.

The model will also help administrators manage the new teacher-principal evaluation pilot model schools will implement next school year. One of the biggest changes of the new TPEP is that instead of there only being two ratings for teachers — satisfactory

Bears cap off a season of firsts on the fastpitch diamond with a South Puget Sound League North crown

BY KRIS HILL

khill@maplevalleyreporter.com

I

t has been a season of firsts for the Tahoma fastpitch team.

This spring the Bears won the South Puget Sound League North division title and unlike in 2010 or 2011, this time it is all their own.

Another first for Tahoma was beating Kentlake twice in the same season. Add to that the first time the Bears have beaten the Falcons at Kentlake, which they did handily April 25, putting together an 11-2 victory to improve to 14-0 in league play.

Winning league was one of Tahomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals from the start of the season. After beating Kentlake for the second time co-captain Courtney Cloud, a senior who plays second base, was elated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh my gosh, it feels amazing,â&#x20AC;? Cloud said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted it so bad. We worked hard. Everybody wanted it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s freaking

amazing.â&#x20AC;?

Co-captain Jena Waler added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels good to beat (Kentlake) on their own turf.â&#x20AC;?

Tahoma clinched the North with three wins in two days to start off the week of April 22.

Things kicked off with a 6-1 victory over Kentridge April 22 as Halle Elliott and Mia Corbin both went 3-for-4 at the plate for the Bears.

Tahoma finished up a game April 23 against Thomas Jefferson from the first contest of the league season. The Bears and the Raiders picked up where they left off in March, tied 6-6 in the sixth inning.

Ashlee Creek hit a solo shot in the top of the seventh to break up the tie for Tahoma and Jefferson couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t answer in the bottom half as the Bears took the 7-6 win.

From there, the Bears picked apart the Raiders in the second game which was scheduled for that afternoon at Tahoma, putting

Tahomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Courtney Cloud loads up to hit the ball against Kentlake April 25. The Bears beat the Falcons 11-2, the first time Tahoma beat Kentlake twice in one season en route to the SPSL North title, the first time it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shared with Kentlake.

That kind of feeling, Waler said, is one of the best sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever experienced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our senior year,â&#x20AC;?

Cloud explained the Bears have to prepare for each team they face in the post-season as if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never played them before, whether they have or not. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to keep it rolling,â&#x20AC;?

This has been a building year for the team according to Kentlake coach Brian Wilson. The girls team won against Kentridge, the first meet of the season and the first time they had scored a victory in three years, according to Wilson. As of Tuesday the girls team was 2-2 and Wilson was hopeful the Falcons girls could pull out another win Wednesday against Kentwood after the Reporterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s press deadline.

Additionally the team scored its first dual win in three years with both the boys and girls teams defeating Mt. Rainier.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also been a good year for Tahoma with a number of athletes moving on to the post season. Among them are Paige Hammock in the 100 meters and 100 meter and 300 meter hurdles, Savanna Haverfield in the 100 meter hurdles and javelin, Danielle Agoh in the triple jump and long jump, Claire Whiting and Klyie Eager in the shot put and discus, and

CISK BREAKFAST FOR THE KIDS SET FOR MAY 23

Kentwood High School had members the Future Business Leaders of America team qualify in 13 categories to attend the State Conference and Competition in Spokane in April.

Students who qualified for the state meet were: Sharesa Pfefferkorn, Prashant Nand, Vanessa Lim, Taylor Yu, Jacob Walter, Quang Do, Azalea Lopez, Zach Nawar, Kris Bader, Evan Brossard, Catherina Li, Justin Han, and Vlad Kim.

Communities In Schools of Kent host its annual fundraising event, Breakfast For The Kids, on May 23.

The breakfast runs from 7:30 to 9 a.m. in the Kent Phoenix Academyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gymnasium located at 11000 SE 264th St. in Kent. Doors open at 7 a.m.

Proceeds from the event go toward CISK services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Communities In Schools places staff and volunteers directly in the schools, so that we can truly understand student needs and easily access community resources. Our mission is simple, we surround students with a community of support,â&#x20AC;? said Executive Director David de la Fuente.

The Windermere Foundation, BECU, Umpqua Bank, Kent Noon Kiwanis, Covington Kiwanis, Central Avenue Automotive and Advanced Building Consultants are sponsoring the event.
