Wait goes on for new Covington Elementary

Maple Valley Mayor Bill Allison didn’t even know a van he owns was stolen when he got a call Monday morning from the Maple Valley Police Department that the vehicle had been recovered.

The van, an older vehicle that Allison doesn’t even drive, but keeps parked in front of his business, I-5 Driving School in Maple Valley, so students can practice parallel parking, was stolen sometime over the weekend.

Allison said Maple Valley Police Department traffic officer Greg Victor called him at little after 8:30 a.m. Monday and asked him where his van was.

“I stated it was in front of my business where it always is and (Victor) said, ‘No, it’s not,’” Allison said with a laugh Monday night.

The officer stopped the van in the 23900 block of 196th Avenue

Building a new Covington Elementary is listed as a top priority project for the Kent School District but that doesn’t mean a new school will be built anytime soon — it will likely be several more years before the vision for a new school becomes a reality.

“We’ve got a levy coming up in early 2014 — a maintenance and operations levy and tech levy,” said district spokesman Chris Loftis. “…If we can pass a levy then we can start talking about a bond. The levies take priority at this point. Levies keep the doors open that we already have.”

Loftis explained that the levies make up 20 percent of the district’s operating budget, making passage essential.

“Our sense was that in this political and economic climate it’s very unlikely we’ll be able to pass

Passions for football and ministry come together

BY KRIS HILL khill@covingtonreporter.com

Eddie Williams doesn’t worry about juggling two different roles — professional football player and youth minister — because he sees them as part of a larger calling.

Williams, who is on the Cleveland Browns roster and in 2011 played briefly for the Seattle Seahawks, started at Mountain Vineyard Christian Fellowship

nearly three months ago.

He sees himself not as a football player or youth pastor but as a Christian.

“It really is a weird dynamic because there aren’t many guys who do that because their primary focus is football,” Williams said in a phone interview May 2.

“Because I’m a follower of Christ that’s my primary identity, but I also play football. With the long

offseason I’m able to pursue what I’m passionate about.”

Preaching God’s word, he said, is a calling he cannot ignore simply because he is in the NFL. So, he found a way to do both as part of his larger identity as a Christian.

Williams grew up in California.

It wasn’t an easy childhood. His father was absent. His mother died when he was 13 after she battled cancer. Eventually, he found sports which led to a football career at the University of Idaho. That is where he met his wife, Sarah, who played volleyball for the Vandals. [ more PASSIONS page 12 ]

Pastor hopes to bring stability to church

BY KATHERINE SMITH

ksmith@maplevalleyreporter.com

COVINGTON ARTIST’S WORK DISPLAYED Covington resident, Cathy Simpson, is exhibiting her photography as part of the EDGE group show at the Edmonds Conference Center, 201 4th Ave N, Edmonds.

Simpson is fascinated by the natural world around us and endeavors to share her view of it through her camera.

The show includes Cathy’s colleagues from the EDGE program, a business-focused class for visual artists, and is hosted through Edmonds Community College. The show will run until June 13.

Sunday marked the first time in two years that Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church in Maple Valley had a permanent head pastor.

Shepherd of the Valley, part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, has gone through multiple interim pastors as the congregation searched for the right fit.

Pastor Andy Arnold and his wife, Laura and their 2-year-old daughter, Katrina, arrived in Maple Valley last week from Kalispell, Mont., where Arnold was the associate pastor at a Lutheran church.

Andy and Laura Arnold also enjoy skiing and hiking as well as traveling — they just returned from a trip to Hawaii. Arnold is a selfdescribed technology geek.

He said he enjoys exploring ways to use technology to facilitate relationships.

The interview process began when a friend of Arnold called and asked if they could submit his name as a candidate for the position at Shepherd of the Valley. Arnold said that whenever anyone asks him that kind of question he never says no.

“We weren’t necessarily aiming to come to Seattle or Maple Valley,” Arnold said. “It seemed like a good

Andy Arnold and his wife Laura pose with their two-year-old daugher, Katrina. The Arnolds completed their move from Kalispell, Mont. to Maple Valley this week where Andy has accepted the position of head pastor at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church. May 5 was the couples first Sunday at the church. Courtesy Photo fit with the congregation and a good place to raise a family.”

Arnold grew up in Ohio and Pittsburgh and comes from a Lutheran background — his father was a Lutheran pastor as well.

“I’d say that has less to do with it then people might think,” Arnold said. “I’ve never felt like I’m following in my dad’s footsteps.”

Arnold began his career in ministry working at various Bible camps and even

considered pursuing becoming an executive director at a camp. Ultimately he decided to pursue a masters degree which then led him to leading congregations.

Arnold also is involved with the ELCA triennial youth gathering that draws 35,00 students, leading the communications and media team.

“I didn’t necessarily plan on being in congregations, but as I’ve been in them I’ve really done well in them,”

Arnold said.

Arnold earned his masters of divinity from the Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago in 1998 after which he took a position at a church in Alaska before he and his wife moved to Kalispell.

“One of the things I really like about pastoral ministry is the myriad of things you get to be involved with,” Arnold said. “Preaching, teaching, volunteering, community care…the

generalist nature of being a pastor.”

A key part of the church going forward will be learning and discerning how the church fits in the community and living out the mission statement to be a place that models God’s love for all people, according to Arnold.

“I think it’s refocusing and learning to love the community of Christ here and the community at large,” Arnold said.

Arnold said he and his wife are looking forward to the chance to be closer to metropolitan areas after living in remote locations for so long, and the chance to be close to Andy’s brother, who also lives in the Seattle area.

“It’s the first place I’ve ever moved to where I already knew people,” Arnold said.

Arnold’s goal is to stabilize things and then help the church tap into its strengths, like it’s long history of community service.

“I think Shepherd of the Valley is primed to grow,” Arnold said.

Standing out from the crowd

Editor’s Note: Crestwood Elementary Principal Tom Shearer co-authored this column with Annie Livengood.

At first, the Crestwood first grade students may look just like any other from all around the state. However, there is one thing screaming out to say that ours are uniquely different.

That one reason is because of the amazing first graders have become champions. Yes, sight word champions with the too-good-to-be-true team of teachers.

Allison Foster, Amanda Parker-Jones, and Catherine Molloy, a trio of first grade teachers at Crestwood, came up with the clever idea to motivate students to learn 84 sight words based on the new Common Core State Standards.

Each child has to declare that he knew all of the words, followed by demonstrating each without one mistake. All three teachers are very excited with the most recent results. An astonishing 90 percent of the first grade class are sight word champions and received a shirt with all 84 words on the back.

It is common to see students a few days a week strutting the halls with pride, wearing their new shirts. Providing this gift was just the cherry on top, reflecting all the first graders’ hard work.

All three teachers realize learning the words early push the development of stronger readers in years to come and could not be happier with the outcome. Foster, Parker-Jones, and Molloy Guest Columnist

really fun to see your little friend grow and learn more, hear them tell you things and read. I even remember when I had a reading buddy. One of my friend’s brother was paired with me.

Our school is working together to help each other, and I think it’s really awesome how we are all connected in a way. Cross your fingers we get 100 percent on our sight word champs. But don’t worry, we will rock you!

are only a couple students away from having 100 percent champions in their classes. We all hope for that by the time school ends June 19.

Another really cool thing is that two of the three sixth grade classes have reading buddies!

Mrs. Marshall’s class is buddies with Mrs. Parker-Jones’s class, Mrs. Mansfield’s class (my class) is with Mrs. Rizzo and Lapp’s class. On Fridays, right before lunch at 11 a.m., we amble down to the kindergarden classroom and somehow find the buddy you were first paired up with. If kids are out numbered, or one student is absent, there may be two sixth graders with a little guy. Each week, you read book to your buddy, but recently our buddies have been reading to us!

coffee, but an absolutely defining sense of self.”

Then there’s me, sitting by the window typing away. All of these people who breezed in and out, and those who lingered, who had no idea I was sitting over here, just watching the world go by and writing my column.

It just got me thinking. About life and the different places and stages and how we’re all just coming or going or searching for who we are, defining ourselves through the choices we make, writing our narratives, ordering our coffee. Sometimes we fall, sometimes we fly, and sometimes we just hold on for dear life.

It made me think about how I’ve been writing my own story lately: writer, truth seeker, journalist, Seattle native, Biolan, Jesus follower, daughter, sister, auntie. Those are just some of the ways I define myself.

This time last year I started an internship that set the wheels in motion that eventually brought me here. A year ago I started learning more about this community and the people and things happening here.

It’s funny how much can change in a year.

A year ago I had no idea what I was doing or where I was going to end up. It had been a year and a half since I graduated and I was more confused than ever. Then I was given an amazing opportunity and ever so slowly the pieces began to fall into place.

Aside from finally getting to work in my industry of choice, I’ve also taken up running in the past few months. It all started because I was thinking of ways I wanted to challenge myself this year and I got it in my head that running a 5K sounded like fun. Last week I signed up for my first race, which I’ll run with my sister when she comes to visit this summer,

and I’m planning a trip to SoCal in the fall to see some of my best friends and participate in another race. I also bought my first pair of running shoes last weekend, so I guess I’m seriously committed at this point.

Speaking of commitment, I’m also newly committed to finishing “Anna Karenina.”

Reading more classics has been something I’ve been doing since I graduated. I have tried to read Anna more than once. The first time I was in high school and I didn’t get very far, just to Levin and Kitty ice skating. After I graduated from college it was one of the first things I downloaded on my Kindle. That time I made it to Vronsky’s attempted suicide before I stalled. I think part of the problem is that I already know how all this ends, and it isn’t pretty. I’ve read more in spurts over the last year and a half. According to my Kindle I am all of 60 percent of the way through. Apparently Tolstoy wasn’t one to mince words. A few months ago I watched the newest film version with Keira Knightly and last week I picked it up again, more determined than ever to finish once and for all. I mean, I read “Wuthering Heights” in less time than this, and I’ve read that one twice. Finishing is just one of those things I want to do.

Those are all just snapshots of my story, pieces of this season of life. Like how I go through phases of Starbucks drinks. On this particular afternoon my drink of choice was a tall caramel ribbon crunch frappuccino, no whip. I’ve also been on a passion tea kick lately. I wonder what that says about me?

To the customer who ordered a salted caramel mocha frappuccino: thank you. I’m going to have to try that sometime.

Seasons of life and Starbucks Sitting in Starbucks and watching the world go by. It’s a people-watching smorgasbord second, in my opinion, only to people-watching at Disneyland.

On Monday I happened to be writing at one of our local stores and I couldn’t help but notice the volume of people who came through, it was frappuccino happy hour after all, and who can pass that up? Personally, I still think Starbucks should bring back caramel brownie, but that’s just me.

[6] May 10, 2013 [ ELEMENTARY from page 1] two levies and a bond in the same year,” Loftis said. “The levy is absolutely essential…for us to even think about losing 20 percent would be cataclysmic.”

New schools and facilities are built with money from construction bonds which must be voted on by residents. Loftis said that levies are taxes used to maintain already existing facilities and programs and a voted bond is essentially residents giving the district permission to borrow the funds needed for higher priced projects.

“Voters in this area are very supportive of their schools, but if you ask for too much you’ll lose,” Loftis said.

The need to pass the lev-

www.covingtonreporter.com • www.maplevalleyreporter.com ies means that a best case scenario would be for the district to run a construction bond in late 2014 or early 2015. Loftis said in that bond a new Covington Elementary would be a top priority. After the passage of a bond it would be another two to three years before a new school could open.

“It’s a facility that is reaching the end of its utility,” Loftis said of the current building.

The school was designed in the 1950s and opened in the ‘60s.

The district already owns a piece of property at Southeast 252nd Street and 152nd Avenue Southeast in Covington near Kentwood High School where the new elementary school would be built.

[ VAN from page 1] Southeast. The man driving the van was found to have a suspended driver’s license and an arrest warrant in Bonney Lake, according to the King County Sheriff ’s Office blog.

Youth safety fair to be held May 18 The local 911 community and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound will hold a Youth Education and Safety Fair from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on May 18 at the Renton Community Center located at 1715 Maple Valley Highway.

This event is part of the national Take 25 child safety campaign in observance of National Missing Children’s Day in partnership with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.

Loftis said the district is estimating the new school to cost $35 to $40 million.

“We’ve got to meet current needs and anticipate future needs,” Loftis said.

The district had approximately $16 million set aside for the new school from the 2006 bond measure but earlier this year decided to reallocate those funds to other district projects including new surveillance cameras, new lockdown technology, and new athletic facilities at Kentwood and Kentridge.

“When we went though the Sandy Hook situation in December we realized we had some security needs and the board knew it needed to address those issues,” Loftis said of the School Board’s decision to reallocate the funds. “That

means that in the next bond a larger portion would go to Covington.”

Loftis said that while some might have considered new football fields and tracks as luxuries, the district saw the existing facilities as safety issues.

“From our persepective those were keeping our students safe while our students do what they do and in this case that was sports,” Loftis said.

When it comes time to run a bond, Loftis said the district will reach out to the residents of Covington to inform them about the proposed school replacement.

Despite a bond being at least a year away, the district is already starting to prepare. Last fall the board commissioned the Citizen’s Bond Review Committee

made up of representatives from each school and each board member could also nominate one person to the committee. Each school had the chance to submit a project proposal for the committee’s consideration.

The committee met every week for two months, reviewing the projects and prioritizing them.

“It was a real logical process that we used,” said committee chairman Amy Hardebeck, who is also executive director at Lake Wilderness Arboretum in Maple Valley.

Hardebeck also said that the committee prioritized the projects before they were assigned dollar figures, so they wouldn’t be influenced by cost. In October the committee presented a finalized report to the

board and recommended a $180 million bond.

The committee didn’t rank the new Covington Elementary because it is already one of the district’s declared top projects. The projects that made the top of the committee’s priority list were replacing fire alarms, replacing roofs that are past their lifespan, replacing portable ramps, boilers and door hardware.

“The gist of it was safety and some of these things are beyond their lifespan,” Hardebeck said.

The man was booked into the Regional Justice Center for investigation of possession of stolen property and the warrant.

Allison said that one of the reasons they only use the van

for parallel parking practice is because it has no brakes.

“It’s not road worthy,” Allison said. “The fact that they (officers) saw it, caught it…it’s a great story to tell for driver’s ed. The greatest thing about it is that no one got hurt.”

The afternoon will include many activities such as free child ID kits, a children’s fitness obstacle course, a fire safety trailer, police and fire vehicle demonstrations, activities, handouts and tips on children safety, information on texting and driving as well as internet safety, a Lego pit, game, raffles, barbecue, and face painting.

National Missing Children’s Day serves as an annual reminder that there are thousands of children who are still missing and stresses the importance of making child protection a national priority.

The Take 25 campaign is a national campaign created in 2007 by the National

Center for Missing & Exploited Children. The campaign encourages parents to take 25 minutes to talk to their children about safety and ways to prevent abduction.

“We know that teaching children about safety works. Community events play an important role in helping parents understand how they can help save a child’s life,” said Ernie Allen, President and CEO of NCMEC. “We are very grateful to our local partners who share our interest in keeping children safe. They play an important role in raising public awareness in communities throughout America.”

Teaching children about safety works. It saves lives.

Join QFC at Komen Puget Sound for the Cure This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Puget Sound Komen Race for the Cure®. Great strides have been made in the fight against breast cancer during those 20 years, but the fight is not over.

Advances in research, detection and treatment have saved thousands of lives and Komen has in some way touched every major breast cancer advance in the last 30-plus years. There is still more to be done and QFC is committed to helping continue the important work of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®.

The Komen organization is QFC’s charity of the month for May. On June 2nd, QFC will also be the presenting sponsor of the Puget Sound Komen Race for the Cure®. This great event brings together thousands of runners, walkers, breast cancer survivors, friends and families to spend a fun-filled morning of sharing, caring and community. 75% of the funds raised from this event stay right here in Puget Sound to support breast health

education, breast cancer screening and treatment and other direct help.

This support is critically important because despite the many advances that have taken place, over 200,000 women and men in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. One of every eight women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. Approximately 95% of all breast cancers diagnosed in the U.S. occur in women over 40. However, the good news is that the 5-year survival rate for women who have had their breast cancer diagnosed before it spread beyond the breast is 99%. This is up from 74% in 1982.

25% of the funds that are raised through local events like the Puget Sound event are used to fund a wide range of research.

There are over 750 ongoing projects in the U.S. and many other countries. The research focuses on using current knowledge to discover new ways to reduce risk, identify cancer cells at earlier and earlier

stages when treatment is most effective, develop new treatments and ultimately to prevent breast cancer altogether. Research funding has been provided to a wide variety of college graduates, doctoral studies graduates and established scientists and doctors, including to three Nobel Prize winners.

Kentwood principal moves on after 14 years

BY KATHERINE SMITH ksmith@cocvingtonreporter.com

Doug Hostetter has spent nearly half his life working at Kentwood High School but he is stepping down as principal June 30 to take on a new role as director of high schools for the Tacoma School District.

Hostetter, who has spent his entire career at Kentwood, with the exception of two years that he spent as the vice principal at Auburn High School, will begin his new position on July 1.

For Hostetter, a career in education almost didn’t happen. Growing up his mom thought he would make a good teacher, but he had his sights set on medical school.

“She always told me, ‘You’ll be such a good teacher.’ And I blew her off,” Hostetter said with a laugh.

Hostetter was a science major at Pacific Lutheran University when he was asked to coach a high school summer league basketball team.

“That’s when I fell in love with working with kids,” Hostetter said. “In education you have to like kids.”

His new duties in Tacoma will include overseeing the district’s five comprehensive and three alternative high schools.

“It’s a very diverse district,” Hostetter said. “It’s a school district that is very rich in tradition. I’m excited to get to

Covington survey starts this week

BY KRIS HILL khill@covingtonreporter.com

Covington officials want to get a sense of how the city is doing.

To that end the city is rolling out a survey, explained Karla Slate, the city’s community relations coordinator, in an email interview.

“This is a scientific survey completed by telephone and is conducted by a third party consultant,” Slate

wrote. “Phone calls are made to registered voters in Covington who have a telephone number listed.”

The last time the city worked with a consultant — Elway Research, which the city hired again — to conduct a survey of residents was in 2009, Slate wrote.

“We use this survey as a way to gauge a few different things including how we (the city) are doing in each of our service areas like

Tacoma because of its tradition and its community support.”

Hostetter has been the principal at Kentwood for 14 years. Prior to that was his brief stint in Auburn, and before that he taught biology and earth science at Kentwood. “(That’s) nearly half my life at Kentwood,” Hostetter said.

“It’s a place I’ll surely miss.”

This spring Hostetter is finishing his doctorate of education through Seton Hall University in New Jersey.

“Not to sound old, but I’ve got a lot of good years left in me,” Hostetter said. “I’m ready for a new challenge…it’s just time.”

In addition to his duties as principal, over the past several years Hostetter has attended classes at the New Jersey campus – spending part of his summer breaks and one weekend every other month back East.

“I chose (Seton Hall) because I wanted to expose myself to some different thinking,” Hostetter said. “Its been good for me.”

Hostetter said he is extremely proud of the accomplishments of Kentwood students and staff during his time there. Just a few of the accomplishments Hostetter cited were the 2012 Washington state achievement awards the school won for math and closing the achievement gap, 13 state championships in sports over the past 14 years, the success of clubs at their state competitions, and a Kent-

customer service, police response, code enforcement, permitting and more,” Slate wrote. “We also ask questions to help give us an idea of what our citizens feel should be the city’s priorities.”

The survey will begin at the end of this week, Slate wrote, and the goal is to complete it within two weeks.

And it’s not just limited to phone surveys.

“In addition to this tele-

phone survey this year, our consultant secured grant funding to simultaneously conduct an online version of the survey,” Slate wrote.

“We will mail an invitation letter to registered Covington voters who do not have a phone number listed.”

Gathering input on city services from residents is important and allows staff to collect information which helps them and the City Council make decisions on a variety of things

“The school is a great school because of the staff and students,” Hostetter said. “I can’t say enough about the community here.”

One of the things Hostetter loves most about his job is the connection he gets to make with students.

“If anything concerns me in this new step, it is being one more step removed from students,” he said.

Hostetter said he plans to combat that by spending as much time as he can at the schools.

“One thing I enjoy about being a principal is you never get old,” Hostetter said. “It keeps you young.”

One of the biggest challenges that Tacoma, and other districts around the state, will face will be aligning with the new Common Core standards that are set to go in effect next school year, according to Hostetter.

Hostetter said he will be focused on figuring out how to help students achieve the new standards and on closing the achievement gap, a problem for which he feels his time at Kentwood will be particularly helpful.

“How can I replicate what we’ve done here at Kentwood across the Tacoma School District,” Hostetter said.

While he may not have the answer yet, he’s got years of experience — almost half his life — at Kentwood to fall back on in Tacoma.

YES – they matter a lot!

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

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

Example: 28 pound child = 14 ounces or 2 cups; 46 pound child = 23 ounces or 3 cups.

Changing eating habits can be an uphill battle

MAKING BETTER CHOICES IS AN UPHILL BATTLE A recent study found that most consumers after being confronted with a major health crisis were still influenced in their choices by factors other than what’s good for their health.

For example, people can

find it difficult to change their long established eating habits, says Dr. Yu Ma, an economics professor at Alberta School of Business and author of the study.

Another highly influential factor is price, he says. If they get a good deal on a particular item, they will go for it, and if it’s too expensive, they will stay away, no matter how much they would benefit healthwise.

Another issue is what he calls the “health halo effect.”

Most people divide foods simply into two categories: healthy and unhealthy, he says. If something is considered healthful, e.g. a salad or a breakfast cereal, as opposed to a cheeseburger or a sugar-laden donut, people tend to overindulge in the “healthy” stuff without much further thought. We have seen that phenomenon Timi Gustafson

HEALTHY LIVING

It’s a proven fact that most people change their eating habits and lifestyle choices only after a serious health scare such as a heart attack or a diabetes diagnosis.

Still, in many cases that may not be enough.

Old habits tend to die hard, but often there are also not many alternatives to what they’ve been doing in terms of eating right and taking care of themselves.

Show off your pesticide free yard King County and Washington Toxics Coalition are offering pesticide free zone ladybug signs free to families gardening without pesticides.

“We are pleased to partner with King County to offer families an attractive way to share their pesticide-free yards with neighbors and friends,” said Anna Dyer of

when, for example, fat-free cookies came on the market and many believed they could consume those in almost unlimited quantities because of the absence of fat. Of course, eliminating the fat did not make those cookies less caloric, and the results became apparent soon thereafter.

Another study, this one on heart attack and stroke patients, showed that nearly 15 percent did not alter their eating and lifestyle habits after the incident, including poor diet choices, lack of exercise and smoking. Less than half of all participants in the study reported having made at least one change, and less than a third said they made several improvements. Only 4 percent claimed they did everything that was recommended to them to prevent further deterioration of their health.

Much of the unwilling-

ness or inability to make healthier diet and lifestyle choices can be blamed on the widespread confusion among the public due to the ceaseless onslaught of sometimes contradictory messages in the media about health matters.

IGNORING THE SIGNS In addition, many of the warnings issued by experts are hard to heed by consumers who are oftentimes ignorant, if not intentionally kept in the dark, about the nutritional quality of their food supply.

For instance, recommendations to avoid high fat, salt and sugar content may be well-meaning, but they are by and large useless when ingredients lists are hard to decipher or when restaurants aren’t required to follow any dietary guidelines or to post nutritional information on their menus.

Washington Toxics Coalition. “Pesticide Free Zone signs spread the word that our yards and parks can be beautiful and healthy for kids, adults and wildlife.”

Kids are most at risk from contact with toxic chemicals like pesticides as they crawl, roll and play on lawns – and chemical exposures can have life-long impacts.

Families in King County that take care of their yard with no pesticides can take a

“I think people are interested in making changes and they are heeding the warnings,” said Dr. Sara Bleich, an associate professor of health policy at the John Hopkins School of Public Health to NBCNews.

“But when it comes to food, it’s much more complicated. Cereal, for example, has a tremendous amount of added sugar. And not everyone understands that breakfast foods like muffins and pastry, things that people don’t consider to be a dessert or an indulgence, pack a lot of sugar.” Similar concerns apply to salt in countless processed foods, many of which don’t even taste salty, and certain types of fats, some of which are obscured by arbitrary serving descriptions on food labels.

Undoubtedly, more and more people want to be better informed about nutritional health and be

empowered to make the right choices. With growing consumer demand for further regulation and protection, that may be feasible over time. But for now, it’s an ongoing uphill battle, and most of us have to fend for ourselves as well as we can.

Waiting room reading should be an escape for parents talk about are the waiting rooms. I upgraded my daughter from the children’s dentist to a general dentist mostly because my oldest is 18 and children’s dentists stop treating kids when they hit 18.

But also, it’s nice for my youngest, at almost 16, not to have to sit in a dentist’s or orthodontist’s office with toy trains traveling overhead and cartoons on the TVs. OK, maybe the cartoons were fine, but you get the point.

The grown up orthodontist is in a whole different office. It’s a really nice office with comfortable chairs, snacks for the kids after school, coffee for the adults and, of course, magazines.

Gretchen Leigh

Living with Gleigh

I took my daughter to the first of many orthodontist appointments to come. She is about to get a full set of braces at 15 and a half. She had orthodontia work before, but for this second phase they had to wait for her to quit growing.

I know how this works — in the beginning we’ll go to the orthodontist about once a week. After a month or so it will be every couple weeks for the duration, give or take a week here and there.

The short explanation is, for approximately the next two years we will spend a lot of time at the orthodontist.

But what I really want to

Dace’s Rock ‘n’ More to offer summer camps Dace’s Rock ‘n’ More in Maple Valley is assessing interest in 3-day camp sessions this summer. Proposed camps include: Guitar Boot camp - July 16-18 and August 6-8, noon-3 p.m.

Warm up exercises, dexterity training, play faster!

This is a new office to us and as I sat down to wait for my daughter during this first appointment, I scanned the selection of magazines: Time, Outdoor Living, National Geographic, varied home and garden magazines and parenting magazines.

I was highly disappointed. The last thing I want to do is read something smart when I’m sitting in a waiting room. Nor do I want to read about parenting, gardening or how to give more style to my home.

Magazines in waiting rooms should be an escape for parents. I feel like a good parent just attending to my daughter’s orthodontic needs, I don’t want to be reminded of what I could be doing better. I don’t want to know what I should be

planting right now or how I need to redecorate my home to reflect the newly accepted styles.

I also don’t want to be reminded of how to eat right, what I should be wearing or reading, and how much exercise I should be getting.

I don’t want to know where the trendy place is to travel or what I should have done for my children when they were small.

Even the medical clinic I go to now has jumped on the band wagon with only parenting magazines and journals on improving health.

What I really want to read when I am sitting in anyone’s waiting room is People, US, and any other gossip magazine that will help me escape into a world which I know to be unat-

tainable. Somehow reading about the movie stars’ drama makes me feel better about my own less dramatic life.

So, as I looked around at my reading choices, then went up and paid the receptionist, I mentioned to her my desire to have People magazine.

She exclaimed, “I think we just got a new one!”

But then she couldn’t find it. That’s probably because, unlike all the other magazines, neatly laid out on the tables, everyone wants to read People. Or it’s in the staff break room, because when they take a break they want a mental escape and don’t want to be reminded of everything they could be doing besides being stuck in an office on a lovely spring day.

I sighed, dutifully went back to my seat and pulled out my cell phone and played a mindless game for the few minutes until my daughter was finished.

It’s going to be a long two years.

Mother Nature joins in Mother’s Day celebration The second week of May brings a celebration of mothers and all things maternal. Mother Nature gets to join in the holiday spirit with new life sprouting up all over. Life began in a garden, so in honor of the birds and wildlife that also enjoy the gardens we humans create, here are four tips for designing a more wildlife friendly landscape.

Marianne Binetti

The Compleat Home Gardener

grasses and blooming plants that attract insects like euphorbia, lavender and roses are all examples of how to set out a “come and get it� buffet and welcome the wildlife to your landscape.

PROVIDE SOME FOOD Plants with berries like Oregon grape or mahonia, seeds from coneflower, sunflowers and ornamental

ADD SOME WATER

The sound of running water will draw raccoons, frogs, salamanders and flocks of colorful birds to the garden.

If you’re concerned about the safety or maintenance of a traditional pond and waterfall consider a “pondless waterfall� that recirculates water trapped beneath a covering of loose stone.

There is no standing water so no buildup of algae or

mosquitoes and very little maintenance. A pondless waterfall has moving water that provides a continuous drinking source for pets.

CREATE SHELTER Formal landscape designs are neat and tidy but they often lack the layers of plant material that provide protection for small birds and forest creatures. By allowing at least one section of the landscape to grow in a more casual style with low-growing sword ferns, medium-sized shrubs like azaleas and rhododenrons and taller understory trees like Japanese maples you can provide birds with nesting material and protection as they build homes and teach their young to fly.

What’s blooming at Lake Wilderness Arboretum Come out and support Lake Wilderness Arboretum May 10 and 11 at the 42nd Annual Spring Plant Sale.

This year’s event starts the Friday before Mother’s Day and coincides

with National Public Gardens Day, another annual event celebrating public gardens all over the country.

The Arboretum’s Spring Plant Sale takes place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

on Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, and features a variety of native and specialty plants, garden accessories and crafts for sale, and a chance to visit the display gar-

Our native plants are not only the perfect source of food and protection for our native wildlife but they also thrive in our soil and climate. It makes sense for every gardener to include at least a few native plants no matter what your garden style.

You can now find native plants at many local nurseries and in our state there are also native plant salvage parties that allow citizens to dig and take home plant material from property that will be cleared for construction.

Look for native sword ferns that provide evergreen cover for tree frogs and use these drought-resistant ferns beneath tall fir and cedar trees or in any area

with dry shade.

Native huckleberry plants provide edible berries and a delicate leaf structure that can provide screening along the property line of even a small yard.

Then there are the beautiful vine maples, native to our climate with fall color, a graceful growth form and multiple trunks to act as garden focal points in a partially shaded site.

also encourage the kids to bring people of different faiths ‌ or atheists ‌ and let’s have an open forum for discussion.�

This challenge to the status quo of tradition church youth groups seems to work.

When he began, Williams said, there were eight to 10, sometimes 12, kids each week, and it was the same faces. In 10 weeks that number has grown to more than 60. “We’re not only seeing 60 plus kids, we’re seeing different kids,� Williams said. “We’re encouraged by the fact we’re seeing this kind of growth.�

It’s not just about growing at Mountain Vineyard, but about reaching kids across the region and trying to help them.

While his speaking style, which is straight-forward yet funny, and his life story have a certain draw, Williams said, he knows what brings young people back every Wednesday goes well beyond what he brings. “I’m happy to play that role. Yes, I’m a football player, yes I’m a public speaker,� Williams said. “What keeps them here is the content and hearing about Jesus Christ.�

Conwell wrote that perspective allows Williams to push students to think differently. “As an athlete he is attracting more young athletes to take a serious look at the life Jesus Christ is calling them toward,�

Conwell wrote. “He presents the gospel as a life-long discipline based in forgiveness at the cross of Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit to choose to live often in opposition to the current culture opinion of right and wrong.�

While there will be times in the fall Williams will be gone, he is confident in the foundation which has been laid as well as the other talented and passionate youth leaders in the church. There will be time at the end of the school year and in late August during which Reach Ministries takes a break to give students time to spend with their families and the youth leaders an opportunity to recharge.

During the fall when Williams is playing football there will be a variety of speakers scheduled to offer their perspectives.

Williams may have two completely different careers at the moment, but he knows he can manage them both. “The two kind of mesh together,â€? Williams said. “Ultimately they fall together as me being a follower of Christ. Instead of bifurcating it ‌ I see myself as a Christian. If I see this as a mission for Jesus, it helps me see things more clearly.â€?

Milligan said after the game he congratulated the girls on what they accomplished this season then reminded them of how close the game was and how it demonstrated the importance of working hard, to build on that experience when the time comes in the playoffs to play small ball and manufacture runs in that kind of situation.

“It happened at just the right time, to have that at the end of the season,” Milligan said. “I want one of those close games … that felt like we had to fight all the way to the end.”

Spring sports roll into the post-season this week The post-season is well under way for spring sports athletes at Tahoma, Kentwood and Kentlake in tennis, baseball and boys soccer.

GIRLS TENNIS Maddie Turek, a senior from Tahoma, made it to the South Puget Sound League girls singles final after coming out of the North division as the top seed. Turek lost 6-2, 6-0 in the league title match to Lauren Thornquist of Auburn, which earned Turek the second seed going into the West Central District tournament May 17-18.

(former Kentlake coach Greg) Kaas after a game and I said, ‘What does it really mean?’ And he said, ‘You’ll see.’”

One advantage Milligan does see is that when Tahoma plays its first game Friday, the opponent will be playing its third game in 24 hours, which could mean endurance could come into play even though many of the girls play on traveling select teams who compete in weekend tournaments with as many, if not more, games in a two-day period.

On the flip side, Milligan explained, the Bears could come up against a team that’s on a roll. If the team is clicking it doesn’t matter who they face. Tahoma has done that in the past, he said.

“I do think that if you get a (warm) day … and you get zapped out there for four or five hours and you’re coming back into that fire the next day, that could be an advantage for us,” Milligan said. “But, I won’t know until we live it.”

Powell added that she is trying to make the experience fun while helping the girls harness their passion for the game to help them focus on winning.

“We are learning how to worry only about things we can control,” she wrote.

“Our focus, effort and attitude. If we can get control of those, everything else will fall into place.”

Both Tahoma and Kentlake will go on to play at the West Central District

tournament next weekend at Sprinker Recreation Center. Both the Bears and the Falcons made trips to the 4A state tournament in Spokane last year. Tahoma is looking for its third straight trip to state while Kentlake is shooting for its fourth consecutive and 12th overall trip in the program’s 16-year-history.

High blood pressure is a fairly common problem for many people. Like the name states, it means the force of the blood against the inside walls of the arteries is too high. Blood pressure has to do with the amount of blood that the heart is pumping and how much resistance it meets inside the arteries.

Narrower arteries and lots of blood pumping result in high blood pressure. People run into problems when prolonged high blood pressure eventually leads to very serious conditions such as heart disease and stroke. Individuals can have high blood pressure for a long time without ever having any symptoms, which makes annual physicals all the more important. Work with your healthcare provider to develop a plan for managing high blood pressure.

Most people who have high blood pressure will need lifelong treatment. Sticking to your treatment plan is important. It can help prevent or delay problems related to high blood pressure and help you live and stay active longer.

Covington, Black Diamond Metro routes at risk A potential 17 percent reduction in Metro transit service due to a lack of sustainable revenue will be the topic of a special meeting of the Metropolitan King County Council’s Transportation, Economy and Environment Committee at at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday May 14. The meeting will be held at Union Station 401 South Jackson Street in Seattle.

The committee wants the public to have an opportunity to tell their leaders how transit service cuts will affect them.

Absent action from the legislature, King County will begin seeking input this fall on how to cut 600,000 hours of transit service. The cuts are expected to begin in 2014. Metro recently released a preliminary look at what routes might be cut or reduced based on their service guideline policies which includes routes in Covington and Black Diamond.

May 10, 2013 [15]

Based on its service guideline policies, Metro has identified 65 routes at risk for elimination and 86 routes at risk for service reductions without a sustainable source of funding.

These reductions would be necessary to offset a $75 million annual deficit due to the continued drop in sales tax revenues.

Since 2009, when revenues declined sharply, Metro has been able to avoid these cuts through $798 million in efficiencies, staff reductions, fare increases, reserve spending, and additional revenue.

The implementation of the Congestion Reduction Charge, a temporary charge on vehicle licenses for two years, helped Metro avoid deep transit service cuts in 2011. By law, the CRC must end in 2014 and without a new source of revenue, Metro must reduce service.

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 QDWXUDO ÂżHOG ZLWK DQ XQGHU GUDLQHG V\QWKHWLF ÂżHOG UHSODFLQJ 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.

Use caution, local waterways are still fast and cold Warm weather brings people to enjoy beaches, lakes, and rivers but the water is still cold and dangerous.

Historically, King County Fire District 44 responds to several incidents on the Green and White Rivers during the spring months. This is generally because the sun comes out, the weather is warm and people go relax by or in local rivers but they are unprepared.

The rivers in Western Washington this time of year can be dangerous because the current if fast, the water is cold, and there is debris in the water that may trap a person.

Drowning is one of the leading causes of unintentional injury death in the US and Washington State is second in the country for children.

Know Your Limits. Keep children and pets out of the water, especially if it has a current. Remember to

May 10, 2013 [19]

keep children in eyesight at all times and keep pets on leash. Be sure to have the proper equipment such as wet suits, proper boat for the location, and a whistle for communication. It is also important to let friends and/or family know where you are going to be and when you are going to be home.

Washington waters can be cold and cause hypothermia even in warm weather. Check the conditions, consult with professionals, and don’t get in if it is too dangerous. Get to know the hazards with the water such as currents, tides, downed trees, and access points.

Life jackets are available at most sporting goods stores and come in all sizes for adults, children and even pets. 75 percent of boating fatalities could have been prevented if the person was wearing a proper life jacket.

The temperature has been warmer this week, drawing people to the water, but be sure you know the risks, use common sense and know your limits. The current river levels on the Green River are dangerously high and people are urged to stay off the river for now.
