Tahoma School Board poised to put bond to voters

BY KRIS HILL khill@maplevalleyreporter.com

Tahoma School District’s proposed construction bond measure is coming into focus but a Board of Directors vote set for Tuesday evening was pushed back due to early August so a consultant could gather more information.

“We heard from our architects late (Monday) that they need a little more time to be precise about the projected costs,” Patterson said. “We have the construction costs identified but the land preparation is taking longer to estimate than they anticipated. We have to file (with King County Elections) by Aug. 6, so getting the amount into a

formal resolution passed by the board has to happen before that.”

As of Tuesday morning, however, a number of significant details were settled centered on grade realignment based on the premise that a new high school would be built if the bond measure passes in November. Though a final bond amount was not determined, Patterson wrote, the amount the board could consider is around $175 million to cover the costs for the projects it wants to tackle. It is anticipated the district could receive an additional $20 million in state matching funds, Patterson wrote, and could potentially cost taxpayers an additional $1.37 per $1,000 of assessed property value than what property owners pay now on the

remainder of the 1997 construction bond which will be paid off at the end of 2016. As an example, Patterson wrote, if the bond is passed at the $175 million level it would cost an additional $411 a year for a homeowner whose house has an assessed value of $300,000.

“There will be money for warm-safe-dry work at schools as needed — roofs, HVAC, security,” Patterson wrote.

“There is also funding for changes that are needed for grade-level conversions, such as creating kindergarten rooms, converting middle school lab spaces to regular classrooms, or installing playground equipment. The an[ more BOND page 6 ]

Father, son team up to get out alive

Austin Vach of Maple Valley posted a video to YouTube and ended up in the middle of nowhere in New Zealand eating fish eyes.

The video, which Vach filmed with one of his brothers and featured “stupid human tricks” cauaght the eye of a representative for a new show, “Get Out Alive with Bear Grylls.” The show features 10 two-person teams competing in a series of challenges and their ability to adapt and survive is evaluated by Bear Grylls of “Man vs. Wild” fame, with the weakest team sent home at the end of each episode.

“I was all in from almost the beginning,” Austin Vach said.

Austin Vach’s first challenge was to find someone he could persuade to be his teammate. He approached his three brothers and a cousin, all of whom turned him down.

“Then he came to me, ‘Dad I got an idea,’ and I at first declined, and with Austin and my wife’s persistance I capitulated, and then after a while I got really excited about it,” said his dad, Jim Vach.

YarrowBay, community unity, the city budget and the qualifications and knowledge of candidates were the themes at the Black Diamond City Council candidate forum July 16 hosted by the Maple Valley-Black Diamond Chamber of Commerce.

The evening was divided into three sections with questions for BLACK the mayoral DIAMOND candidates, city council candidates, and questions from the audience.

YarrowBay quickly became the dominant theme of the forum, with questions surrounding the master planned developments which would include just over 6,000 new homes over the course of the project as well as commercial development and new schools. [ more FORUM page 7 ]

Preliminary results indicate that 96.5 percent of the Kent School District class of 2013 passed the reading and writing High School Proficiency Exam, exceeding the state average of 93 percent.

The District said in a statement that that rate is expected to increase as an additional 290 students have signed up to take the August 2013 reading and writing proficiency exam as of June 30.

Passing the High School Proficiency Exams is required for graduation. Final results will be available in the fall.

more logical approach by developing a subarea plan along with a planned action environmental impact statement.

The idea behind this strategy is to plan for the entire chunk of the Hawk property before a shovel is turned rather than doing it piecemeal. That way city staff, the developer, potential business tenants and residents all know what will can be built as well as how it will be accomplished.

While this means there is a fair amount of work at the front end of the project, Hart said, it means that as [ more HAWK page 16 ]

“The reason for this exercise, which is really critical, is we don’t want the city staff saying, ‘This is what we think it should be,’” Hart said. “Or the consultant to say, ‘This is what we think it should be.’ And the City Council needs guidance.

How I started to like shopping Guest Commentary

“I hate to cook!” There I said it. I am a mom and wife and I stay as far from a stove as absolutely possible! I used to have this same aversion to grocery shopping until Steve convinced me it could be fun to find new and exciting things to try. I went along grudgingly and ended up starting to like it. Of course I could never say that because it would be the typical husband response of “I told you so!”

Steve was the first to start shopping at Grocery Outlet. He waited a couple of days from the opening mad house to settle down before he went for the first time. I still remember him coming home with bags and bags and the biggest smile on his face. He started pulling things out going look at this, and I found this, can’t wait to try this and so on.

I think he was more excited about the fact that we didn’t have to coupon anymore. Yes, we were that family; we went to the store with a large binder of coupons and spent hours each week managing it. Now we just keep the Grocery Outlet coupons attached to the fridge and take them with us when we go a couple of times a week.

Steve’s excitement was contagious. I love going up and down the aisles. Everything changes and it’s a chance to even get some items usually only sold in other areas of the country.

Yes, I have heard the negative comments regarding Grocery Outlet. Or the perceptions that some in our community have. Since our family has only had great experiences there this has been hard for me to understand. Granted, I have never shopped at other Grocery Outlets and from what I hear that may be a good thing in some cases. We are spoiled by this store. They built this store from the ground up just for our community. They gave us owners that understand what it is like to live in a small community.

They even went as far as painting the ice cooler so it looked more upscale. Bottom line, everything about this store is just for us!

Of all the things I mentioned above the most important is the owners. Norm and Tammy

Olness most qualified candidate for mayor I have known Rebecca Olness for almost 20 years. She has been a volunteer and supporter of the Black Diamond Community Center and has served first as a City Council member and then as mayor. During the time I have known her she has always done a wonderful job of representing the citizens of Black Diamond and the surrounding areas. Although I live in Covington, I have been attending the Black Diamond Community Center and the Maple Valley Community Center for years and Rebecca is very well-known and respected at both.

nity at the same time.

Couple of facts about Grocery Outlet that I would like to share.

1) Inventory always changes because items come from all different areas in our country.

2) Norm and Tammy can do their best to accommodate special requests when they order, so just ask!

3) They do monthly wine tastings, for FREE! 4) Best by dates and expiration dates are not the same thing. You will typically see best by dates at Grocery Outlet. On dairy, excluding milk, product is good for about 7 days after best by. Dry goods are usually good for 30 days after the best by date.

Huge thank you to Norm and Tammy not only for spending time with me but also for supporting our community. Since all the other small grocery stores, like Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods, do not think we are the type of community for their businesses we appreciate that you are here and so supportive. I look forward to shopping soon and finding all the new things you have brought in.

are wonderful! They asked to have this store because they come from a small community a couple of hours north of us and understand the importance of local businesses to a thriving community. Giving back is a driving principle for them. Their business plan has donations built in specifically designated for our schools and the food bank. These are both areas they are personally passionate about and will do all they can to make a difference. As I talked to them it became obvious they were not meeting the goals they had set for their store and ultimately their donations. The only way they are able to make these large donations and differences right here in our community is for us to support them.

Please think about this as your go about your daily shopping.

I encourage you to put aside any negative thoughts, preconceived notions or prior experiences that may have prevented you from walking in to our Grocery Outlet in the 6 months they have been open. You will be amazed by the selection, enjoy the variety as you walk up and down the aisles, and appreciate extending your grocery budget all at the same time.

For those of you who have already supported our Grocery Outlet, thank you! Not only are you helping extend your families budget you are also supporting vital programs in our commu-

Forum biased toward YarrowBay

Why would anybody trust people who condone this type of behavior to take a leadership role in our city?

Mike Musga of Covington finished second and was named Tournament Champion Runner-up and Chance Anderson of Maple Valley finished second in E class for 20 gauge at the North Pacific Grand skeet shooting competition in Ravensdale.

Skeet competitors came from as far away as Texas to compete in the event which was held at Seattle Skeet and Trap Club.

In the overall competition, Chip Cosgrove of North Bend claimed the championship with a score of 398.

[ LETTERS from page 4] ments that seem to be coming from people in the know.

The city of Black Diamond is on the verge of financial collapse. That is a fairly bold statement. Actually the city is in turmoil not financial collapse.

However, it may come to that if changes are not made.

For example, the existing mayor has been in office for four years and the previous four years as a City Council member.

Can you truthfully say that the Mayor has been able to grow the city business base and (the city) is better off financially today than (it was) when she started in her leadership position eight years ago? Not even close.

She had eight years to lead and has not come up with a plan to move forward.

Another statement that was made states that Black Diamond’s (budget) is complicated because three quarters of the city staff is funded by YarrowBay through an agreement for the purpose of continuity during the process. That is an absolute joke. This was done without your vote. This was a loan from YarrowBay to pay for the city services with interest. Who is going to repay this huge loan? Every property owner within the city limits of Black Diamond. Do the math and see for yourself. This is a really bad deal.

But, a previous statement says “This is an agreement the mayor helped draft as both a City Council member and mayor. This is where her experience shines. We need to maintain this continuity for the proper execution of the agreement and for a solid economic future.”

Is there any better example where the problem is at the top of Black Diamond’s leadership. If this is what you want for leadership so be it.

You need a change. You need Dave Gordon.

FOUR SHILLINGS SHORT TO PLAY AT COVINGTON LIBRARY

The so-called debate conducted by the (Greater Maple Valley-Black Diamond) Chamber of Commerce (July 16) was disappointing to say the least.

The questions were biased in favor of the incumbent and YarrowBay. No wonder YarrowBay was promoting attendance at their office.

Dave Gordon was willing to challenge YarrowBay’s huge land development schemes showing his sincerity in protecting and promoting the best interests for Black Diamond.

Dave Gordon has a primary, so the debate was especially important for him. He gets points for walking into the lion’s den and clearly stating his positions. The audience seemed to be made up of YarrowBay supporters, but Gordon stuck to his guns.

It was refreshing to hear a candidate firmly state what he is going to do and not carry on with a lot of generalities.

Judith Carrier Auburn

Deceitful doorbelling against mayoral candidate Watson To the Editor: Warning to the citizens of Black Diamond: we had a doorbelling visit from fellow named Bill M. who said he was representing candidate Dave Gordon. To cut a long story short—he claimed various things about (mayoral) candidate Keith Watson which we did not believe.

We are acquainted with Watson and were able to find out from (Watson) that many people have complained about this type of deceitful behavior by Bill M. and Dave Gordon. You can judge people by their behavior, they don’t change — falsehoods are a way of life for them.

CITY OF COVINGTON STILL ACCEPTING PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATIONS

Ana Mason Black Diamond

City needs a candidate who is truthful, understands issues Black Diamond mayoral candidate Dave Gordon appears to be a mass of contradictions. He doesn’t seem to have an understanding of the issues — this may be because I have only seen him at one council meeting.

He says that he will control large land developments, but acknowledges that vested projects will inevitably be built.

Gordon says that that he opposes higher taxes and fees that subsidize land developers, but is aware that Black Diamond residents pay no taxes and fees to support current and future developments. He says he wants to support existing businesses, but he also recognizes that growth provides these small businesses a broader customer base that will help them survive.

In addition, Gordon opposes plans that would increase public safety, improve our roads and update our infrastructure before more new homes are built. I cannot understand why he would not want the current residents to benefit from the developments — particularly when he himself admits that these homes will be built regardless of who is elected mayor. Would Gordon prefer to put our community’s safety and welfare on the line to oppose a plan that even he admits he cannot change?

The city and its constituents deserve a candidate who is truthful and understands the issues. You, Mr. Gordon, do not appear to be that.

IS HEART DISEASE REVERSIBLE? Heart disease is a major killer for both men and women.

But, what if it were possible to reverse the effects of this deadly health issue? The answer isn’t 100 percent agreed upon. Some research indicates that heart disease is reversible while other research is not so convincing. Still, it can’t hurt to make positive lifestyle changes, especially if heart disease is a risk factor. If not completely preventable or reversible, there is no doubt that the forward momentum of heart disease can be slowed. How? Make exercise a priority. Walk for 30 minutes most days or for an hour three days each week. Talk to your doctor about the dietary changes that will make the biggest impact. Always talk to your doctor before adopting a new exercise regime.

What are the symptoms of heart disease? They include chest pain, shortness of breath and pain, and numbness, weakness and coldness in the arms and legs. Having high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes puts you at risk for developing heart disease.

In February the father-son team found out they were selected and they were headed on an adventure in New Zealand.

In each leg of the competition the teams are assigned different tasks, be it guiding the group through an obstacle, constructing shelter, preparing food, or creating and tending a fire. Also, the teams compete in a challenge which can range from having a high gross-out factor like drinking a concoction of urine and muddy water to constructing and using a sling shot, with the winning team safe from elimination.

For the last round all the candidates answered the same question and had two minutes.

Marianne Binetti

What’s blooming at Lake Wilderness Arboretum By day, Diane Barnes works at Mattson Middle School in Kent as registrar and data processor.

Yet being a member of the Arboretum’s Board of Directors gives her an opportunity to indulge her lifelong passion.

for large displays of lilies just expect fewer blooms the following year. Plant lots of lilies and harvest or cut the flowers on an every-other-year schedule to give the bulb time to rebuild itself. Even if you decide not to take the flowers indoors, you should cut off the faded lily blooms from the top of the stem so the plant doesn’t waste energy making seeds. Then allow the stem and leaves to ripen and turn yellow in the garden, waiting until October to cut the stems to ground level.

Q. Help us solve a mystery about a new plant my neighbor is growing.

It looks like an alyssum with small white clusters of blooms but it is much larger and with more flowers than any alyssum we have ever seen. It is part of a flowering basket full of mixed flowers. The reason we both want to know the name is because on hot days or if she forgets to water her container the other plants wilt but this lovely, white-

flowered plant continues to look great! Is this some type of tough new flower? M.G., Olympia A. Yes, this is indeed a knight in shining white blossoms that has rescued heat-stressed hanging baskets. The name of the new lobularia hybrid is Frosty Knight and it looks just like alyssum – but on steroids.

Frosty Knight lobularia does well in the ground as a frilly annual peeking over the edge of sunny pathways or in hanging baskets and container gardens. In my garden this cold- and heattolerant annual flowered from April until October.

So here’s the good news – a second new variety of lobularia with a lavender tinge to the flowers has also been introduced. It is called lobularia Blushing Princess and it should reign with Frosty Knight as a summer favorite for any garden lacking storybook charm.

There may still be time to find these new varieties at local nurseries; plant these annuals now and you’ll still

be able to enjoy months of color before a killing frost ends the lobularia display in October.

Q. My rhododendron has grown too large. Can I prune it back now or must I wait until spring? J., email A. Pruning after blooming is the general rule of green thumb for most flowering shrubs but if you have a rhododendron outgrowing its space you can remove entire branches or just pinch off the new growth candles without harming the plant. Pruning rhododendrons during the summer months will sacrifice some of next year’s blooms, however, so prepare to have a more compact but less floriferous rhododendron. Rhodies and azaleas make next year’s flowers in late summer so to really pamper these plants offer more to drink, not more to eat.

Shallow-rooted shrubs like rhododendrons need more frequent water during dry spells than other shrubs if you want maximum

habitat, and prevent soil erosion. The work includes replacing the existing circular corrugated metal culvert with a larger concrete box culvert, installing downstream grad control

log, removing invasive species, and re-vegetating with native species at the Lake Lucerne Outlet Channel. The city anticipates the construction of this project will be completed by no

later than August 23.

Emergency and homeowner access across the culvert replacement will remain open at all times throughout the course of the project. Traffic con-

it to water your tomatoes and houseplants. Just be sure you don’t add salt to the water.

Q. I have glorious lilies and I cut them to use at church and give away to friends.

I have just been told that if you cut the lily stems it stops them from flowering again next year. Is this true? My lilies seem to be blooming with fewer and fewer flowers as the years go by. C.L., Kent A. Yes, lilies use the energy of the yellowing leaves and stem to make next year’s flowers, so removing a long stem when you harvest the blooms will weaken the underground bulb. But you don’t have to give up enjoying your lilies indoors as cut flowers. Just try to leave as much stem as possible on the plant when you harvest the blooms. If you must have long stems

The Compleat Home Gardener

The end of July is when you should see plenty of green tomatoes, young zucchini and baby cucumbers in the vegetable garden. Resist the urge to water these crops during the heat of the day or late at night.

Consistent watering when the top inch of soil is dry to the touch is the way to go. Tomato skin is especially sensitive to splitting and scarring from too much or too little water.

Watering at night can encourage fungal infections if you keep the foliage damp on warm summer nights.

Here’s a dirt cheap tomato growing tip – if you hard boil eggs for a summer salad, save and use the cooking water. Tomatoes need lots of calcium and the leftover cooking water from hard boiled eggs contains this nutrient because boiling water leaches calcium from the egg shell. Save and cool the egg water and use

before she spends money unwisely, she can check her own balance, thus averting my admonishment that she shouldn’t be wasting her money on virtual games for virtual stuff that is only as real as the money flying out the door.

The other perk to being 18 is that she can now access her doctor, her doctor’s office, and her medical history. There is a frustrating phenomenon that happens when children turn 13: they have privacy rights, which removes all parental access to their medical records online.

Parents can have a conversation with their child’s doctors, but billing, appointments, direct entry to their medical files is all kept under wraps from the parents. Here’s the kicker, though, it’s against the law for children under 18 to have online access to anything which is why she couldn’t see her own check-

ing account before she turned 18.

Anything online is a mystery not only to the 13-year-old, but also to the parents. Back when I was a teen, my parents had access to everything. Of course, the only way to have access then was to directly talk to the doctors and nurses.

Now we are used to having everything at our fingertips and not being able to get immediate answers only frustrates us.

We have to actually pick up the phone, look up the number, leave a message and wait for a response. So having my daughter turn 18 has made my life much easier. But in order to accomplish these grown up things, I still had to go with her because I know many things she doesn’t know.

It’s time she started taking even more responsibility for herself. Like all the numbers I have stuck in my head that belong to her. There is the easy stuff like her birth date, which I will never forget and our address, but then there is

Gretchen Leigh

Living with Gleigh

I spent a day last week doing grown up things with my now 18-year-old daughter. She turned 18 a few months ago, but it seemed like graduation really marked the grown up phase of her life.

It’s amazing what there is for a child to do when she turns 18. Not only can they register to vote, they can access their own checking accounts online and get online statements instead of paper statements. I have a drawer full of statements for both my daughters they never opened. As their chief financial advisor, I have been remiss in showing my daughters how to balance a checking account. Because let’s be real, how many of us have balanced our check books the old fashioned way since online checking became available?

So now instead of asking me to check her balance

her Social Security number and her medical number.

Not only do I know her numbers, but I know her sister’s numbers, my own numbers, my passwords, her father’s passwords, our checking account number, our old credit card number which is a new one still to be memorized, her father’s numbers, and my license plate number.

If all of those numbers were ever important to anyone else, they would only need to capture me and they’d have all the information they needed. It would be nice if my daughter would take responsibility for her numbers so I can forget some and make room for more.

Yes, she’s 18 now and graduated from high

school. It’s time to claim her numbers. It’s the grown up thing to do.

Gretchen Leigh is a stayat-home mom who lives in Covington. She is still memorizing numbers. You can also read more of her writing and her daily blog on her website livingwithgleigh.com.

Community News and Notes MAPLE VALLEY TO PARTICIPATE IN NATIONAL NIGHT OUT The Maple Valley Police Department invites residents to participate in the annual National Night Out crime and drug prevention event on August 6.

National Night Out is designed to raise awareness of crime and drug prevention, generate support and participation in local anticrime efforts, strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships, and send a message to criminals—letting them know neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

Neighborhoods in Maple Valley will participate with block parties, cookouts, games, and visits from the police and fire departments.

There will be a gathering at Glacier Valley Community Park, located at

Southeast 281st Street and 238 Avenue Southeast, at 7 p.m. August 6.

The event is co-sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch, Maple Valley Police, The King County Sheriff’s Office, and Maple Valley Fire and Life Safety.

MAPLE VALLEY YOUTH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA TO HOST SUMMER CAMP IN AUG. The Maple Valley Youth Symphony Orchestra camp runs Aug. 5-9 from 10 a.m. 2 p.m. daily at Maple Valley Presbyterian Church, 22659 Sweeney Road SE. The camp culminates in a 7 p.m. concert Aug. 9.

This year’s theme is “Tunes from Toons.” The orchestra will study music from animated films such as Disney’s “Brave.”

“Camp is one of my favorite MVYSO traditions,” said Elisa Lewis, MVYSO executive director. “We make it high quality and low cost to give every student the opportunity to come together in a big, fun way to work to-

ward a common goal of making great music.”

The camp features a full staff of highly qualified coaches for every instrument section, performances by professional musicians, opportunities for small ensemble work, activities, a lunch program and more.

The camp is $75 and every student will receive a camp T-shirt.

Students who with one school year of playing experience through the most advanced student will find challenge and success.

The MVYSO has designed a unique opportunity for students with less experience to play along with more advanced students and receive specialized coaching at their level.

“It’s always fun to see all of our camp students grow in confidence over the week,” Lewis said.

Last year’s concert had 140 students performing.

For more information about the camp or other MVYSO programs, call 425-433-6009 or visit www.mvyso.org.

Community News GREEN RIVER RECEIVES APPROVAL FOR 7-YEAR REACCREDITATION Green River Community College has been approved for reaccreditation.

The notification affirms the college’s high educational standards and its ability to meet the commission’s qualifications for student success.

“Green River faculty and staff work hard every day to create an excellent school,” Green River President Eileen Ely said. “I am proud of the work we do to ensure student success. It is through the comprehensive educational programs and support services that we can be so responsive to the diverse communities we serve.”

The accreditation process process included a three-day on-site evaluation conducted by an eight-member team of faculty and administrators from regional colleges. Team members met with students, staff, faculty, administrators and members of the board of trustees and reviewed documented evidence to support the report submitted by the college.

The commission commended Green River for its dedication to student success and passion for teaching and learning.

They also commended the college for the condition of the main campus facilities and campus, and the “comprehensive way Green River has created secure, healthful learning and working environments to support the institution’s mission, programs and services”.

Green River was first granted accreditation from the NWCCU in 1967.

Healthcare hands on

BY MARK KLAAS mklaas@kentreporter.com

Surgery is difficult duty.

That’s what Salma Ramadan concluded after getting the feel of the operating room at Tacoma General Hospital last Friday.

“It takes a lot of effort and pressure,” said Ramadan, a Kent-Meridian High School student, after performing a Skittlectomy during the MultiCare Nurse Camp. “I didn’t think it would be this exciting, but it is.”

Taking candy from a mannequin laying prone on the table was just a part of the weeklong hands-on experience for Ramadan and 99 other high school students from 31 cities who participated in the 10th annual Nurse Camp at Tacoma General, Mary Bridge, Allenmore and Good Samaritan hospitals last week.

The four-day camp gave students an inside look at careers in the health care world. Students spent time in departments at MultiCare’s hospitals, visited local colleges and universities, and participated in rotations throughout the hospital network.

Ramadan came away impressed.

“I love it. It’s very educational, informative and I get to explore all the things that I never thought I could before,” she said. “I didn’t think it would be this exciting, but it is.

“I like the medical field.

I am not exactly sure what I want to do, but this is a good opportunity just to explore what they have.”

Like Ramadan, specialized nursing caught the curiosity of Kentlake’s Courtney Roberts. Roberts, whose mother and grandmother were nurses, might follow in their footsteps, possibly as a trauma nurse.

“They do everything, the tricks of the trade,” she said.

“They can do just about everything, a lot of fastpitched stuff. It’s very busy.

It’s a lot of fun.”

Roberts and other students learned that nurses do much more than draw blood and take temperatures.

At camp, students examined pig hearts and left ventricular assist devices, learned how to prepare pediatric patients for tests/ procedures, practiced with c-collar/backboards and performed neuro checks.

In the operating room, students discovered hightech surgeries. They also job shadowed various units

and departments at the hospitals.

Ten years ago, MultiCare realized the need to encourage a more diverse and well-prepared health work force. In 2004, MultiCare began supporting the weeklong day camp that is free to area students. As well as increasing ethnic and racial diversity in health care, a growing number of young men are pursuing careers in nursing, a trend MultiCare Nurse Camp encourages and supports.

“Nurse Camp allows students to explore nursing and other health careers through hands-on activities, job shadowing and discussions with health professionals, visits to local nursing schools and much more,” said Nurse Camp Director Jamilia Sherls, MPH, BSN, RN. “They also receive a stethoscope and medical scissors to use during assessment activities.

“From these experiences, it is my hope that Nurse Camp students begin to visualize themselves as future nurses and become even more motivated to pursue this career path,” Sherls said. “It would be great if these students returned to MultiCare one day as a nurse or another health professional.”

NHRA’S ANTRON BROWN COMING TO RENTON

Danny Lunder can’t get enough of running.

Lunder, who graduated from Kentwood in 2012 and will start his sophomore year at Gonzaga University in the fall, started running in elementary school and hasn’t stopped.

At Gonzaga he is a member of the cross country and indoor and outdoor track teams.

“I started (running) in elementary school,” Lunder said. “I went out for the track team because I saw most other people were doing it and I started doing it and I fell in love with it.”

Lunder also played soccer while growing up, playing on select teams, but his junior year he decided to give it up to focus on track at Kentwood.

“It definitely came to a point where I had to choose,” Lunder said.

Lunder said it became impossible to juggle the time commitments of both sports. He was also drawn to the family atmosphere of

Gonzaga.

“It went well,” Lunder said of his freshman year. “I PR’d quite a bit.”

Lunder said he improved his 5K time to 15:01. He also explained that at the college level the 5K is run on a track instead of a trail.

“There’s a lot of people right around my level and that helped me improve so much,” Lunder said. “I’d say there’s two things: the expectation and then there’s the atmosphere. In college there’s people who compete with you every day. The expectation goes hand in hand with that. With that (the competition) there’s the higher expectations.”

At a track meet in April Lunder finished first in the 1,500 meters, surprising many with the win given he was seeded 12th, and finished with a winning time of 4:01.3.

This coming school year Lunder said that he wants to continue to improve and his goal is to break 25 minutes in the 8,000 meter cross country event.

“Last year I did 25 and this coming year I want to break 25 minutes and get down to around 24:30,” Lunder said.

For Lunder one of the things he loves about the sport is that much of it is mind over matter and it’s overcoming yourself.

“I think that’s one of the biggest motivating factors of running—trying to overcome hurdles and putting your mind to it.”

As the warm weather slips away members of the Coalition for a Healthy Community want to see families celebrate at the Summers End Fun Run Saturday, Sept. 28, at Kentwood High.

This year’s race will be the sixth one organized

by CHC, explained Pam Kramer, a member of the coalition.

“It was started to benefit the families of our community in encouraging healthy living,” said Kramer, who is also a registered dietitian at MultiCare in Covington.

“We didn’t really have a community run that was specific to Covington, and so we were asked about six years ago to take on this run. We had just started CHC and we said, ‘Yes, we will take this on.’ This is perfect for what we’re trying to accomplish in trying to get people more active, battle childhood obesity and get more parents more involved with their children.”

Progress made in contract talks between office workers union and Kent School District officials

BY ROSS COYLE rcoyle@kentreporter.com

Kent School District officials are closer to an agreement with district’s office workers union after the Kent Association of Educational Office Professionals have been without a contract for more than 11 months.

This forward progress came as a relief in a situation where KAEOP officials were frustrated after lengthy negotiations between the union and KSD left the union wondering if it would get a new contract.

In an open letter to the district two weeks ago, KAEOP leaders expressed disappointment with the district’s handling of the negotiations, saying that on one hand the district calls them invaluable, front line help with students but isn’t able to back that assertion up with appropriate compensation. “Part of the frustration

is the revolving door of people in (human resources),� said KAEOP President Kathi Adderson. “When we first started negotiations, the team was working with Robin Davis. Then he left, replaced by Keith Beiman.

It was almost like having to start over again.�

Ordinarily, Adderson said she could understand that. “But we feel there has been such a level of disrespect to our union,�

Adderson said.

Adderson said she felt like the district’s reluctance to work with KAEOP was indicative of an indifferent attitude toward the office workers and clerical help. “They negotiated with everyone else and we got what was left over,� Adderson said.

Adderson said a joint study conducted by the district and the union compared wages to other districts and found that office and clerical wages at KSD were 6 percent to 7 percent

Community News and Notes COVINGTON STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN MISSIONS TRIP. In July a mission group of 12 members from St. John the Baptist Catholic Church journeyed to Guatemala for 11 days to learn from the culture and help with repairs from recent earthquake damage in St. John’s sister parish, Union of Aldeus Corpus Christi, in the Guatemalan Department of San Marcos. The team leaders were Jim Tanasse of Covington Rotary and Jessica Mendoza, a physical therapist at Valley Medical Center. Four team members were high school students residing

lower than eight other school districts. KAEOP is looking for about $500,000 in total raises for its staff, but officials from KSD say that while they’d like to provide the funds, they have other bases they also have to cover.

KSD spokesman Chris Loftis explained that while the district does indeed have a hefty cash reserve to draw from, it has to be judicious in spending the $27 million. “I think that’s an issue that often people hear that they think that there’s a big pile of money sitting somewhere,� Loftis said.

Ralph Fortunato, director of financial services for the district, explained the total balance was $27 million last year, but due to the way the budget works, the actual number was significantly smaller. A number of deductions, such as $12 million assigned as a mandatory reserve, or $3 million to help start the construction of a new

school, quickly whittled the original sum away. “There was $27 million dollars, but in reality what was unassigned, what was unspoken for, was $3 million,� Fortunato said.

Beyond this financial constraint, Loftis said, many demands made during negotiations aren’t considered by the district, Loftis said. Demands are made in something of a vacuum, Loftis added, and the district has to take them and say whether or not they’re reasonable. Beyond the needs of KAEOP, Loftis said, the district has to ask what impact a financial choice will have in the future. “You’re looking at not just today’s finances and you’re looking at the moral and legal responsibility that we have to keep the district sustainable,� Loftis said. “So yes, we might be able to make one group happier today, but does that set us into a trajectory that is untenable in the future?�

Community News and Notes ZOE CARTER AWARDED SCHOLARSHIP Zoe Carter was awarded a $2,500 scholarship by Cedar Grove Composting May 30 during Tahoma High’s senior awards celebration.

Carter was selected for the Seeds for Scholarship award based on demonstrated interest, action and achievement in issues surrounding sustainability and the environment.

She will attend Western Washington University in the fall. The student must demonstrate that they will graduate with a 3.0 or higher grade point average as well as leadership qualities throughout their high school career including such traits as respectful of teachers, helping other students, good sportsmanship, and compassion.

The student must be attending post high school education. Students

planning to attend four year universities, community colleges and vocational/technical colleges are all considered.

The scholarship includes a $2,500 payment made directly to the college of acceptance in 2013, the opportunity to be interviewed for a summer internship at Cedar Grove in the summer of 2013 and every summer thereafter while the student is in college and dinner for the scholar and their parents.

“We see so many smart students championing sustainable actions on their campuses and being a force for good when it comes to implementing change that we wanted to create this scholarship to encourage and reward students in this regard,” said Karen Dawson, director of community relations. “We selected Tahoma High School because of its proximity to our Maple Valley facility and some of the innovative things the school and the district are doing around sustainability and systems thinking.

These students are our neighbors and they represent the future of sustainability.”

long as the developer follows the plan then it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to go through a SEPA application for each phase of the development.

In essence, it provides a blueprint, and that should allow the development to proceed more smoothly once work begins.

Hart said the plan is to complete this process so that it could go to City Council in December or January. In the meantime, there will be several more opportunities for residents to offer their thoughts on the matter. On Friday the city will issue two documents and will take public comment on them for 30 days. There is a hearing on the topic scheduled for the Aug. 15 Planning Commission meeting.

Staff will respond to those comments, Hart said, then in October a final subarea and EIS will be issued. After that, additional public comment can be made, with the Planning Commission getting those documents in the fall to review and make a final recommendation to City Council, which will also host a hearing to take additional Real Estate for Sale Lots/Acreage

input from residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the first opportunity that our community has had â&#x20AC;Ś in 16 years, to actually do a plan for such a large undeveloped area,â&#x20AC;? Hart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we incorporated (in 1997) we already had our subdivisions developed and we had our strip malls. Now we have a chance to take 210 acres and how are we going to develop this in the future.

This is going to meet our future needs for a lot of residential and regional commercial development for the next 20 years.â&#x20AC;?

It is an exciting project, Hart said, particularly for anyone who is a professional city planner. It will also build on the two main elements of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic engine: the city as a hub for commercial retail and healthcare services in Southeast King County.

It is possible that companies such as Loweâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Target, which have expressed interest in locating in Covington, as well as other businesses and restaurants which are family friendly could build on the Hawk Property to fill a substantial gap in the mar-

MAPLE VALLEY BUSINESS CRIME STATISTICS FOR JUNE In Maple Valley commercial burglary and trespassing incidents increased in June, while vandalism and shoplifting decreased.

In June four commercial burglaries were reported in Maple Valley, up from two in May. There was one reported shoplifting incident, down from 10 reported incidents in May. Reports of vandalism also decreased from three to one. Trespassing incidents rose to seven in June from three in May. ket for the region â&#x20AC;&#x201D; both Covington and neighboring Maple Valley have a number of families, both with more than 30 percent of the population under 18.

When motorists drive by on SR 18, Hart said, they will see the regional commercial businesses because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closest to the highway and the land there is flat as well level making it ideal for construction. Eventually, to see the homes, drivers would get off the highway at the 256th exit then drop down onto a collector arterial which will be the first thing that will need to be built. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully by March of 2014 that development agreement will be in place and it commits the development to what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do for the next 15 years of this plan,â&#x20AC;? Hart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re finished with this next spring, the next step is the developer will come in and build the road â&#x20AC;Ś it will take them about a year to actually construct this major collector arterial roadway. They envision coming in 2015 with the major regional commercial development.

The developer that wants to develop this

property is paying the cost of all of this, the subarea plan and EIS, all the city is doing is managing the process.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a process the developer, Oakpointe, is pleased with thus far, according to Colin Lund. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been frankly impressed by the city and their ability to process the subarea plan and pull together the whole consultant team,â&#x20AC;? Lund said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done a good job.

We, as Oakpoint, are particularly excited about the property and its potential and working with the city to bring their vision to fruition.â&#x20AC;?
