Oglesbee challenges Benson for council seat

Crunching the Tahoma school bond numbers

BY KATHERINE SMITH

Shawn Oglesbee is challenging current City Councilwoman Carol Benson in the Position No. 4 City Council race in Black Diamond.

Benson, who was appointed to council in 2012 after the seat was vacated, has lived in Black Diamond for 34 years and during her career worked as a chief financial officer with experience in finance and development.

Oglesbee moved to Black Diamond with his family in 2007 and works as a project manager in construction and is an Army veteran.

Benson said that she is running because she wants to help protect the community.

“I feel like I have the background and the education to be able to at least follow what’s going on and protect the city and the environment and work on the

Tahoma School District officials announced a revised bond tax collection rate for the $195 million construction bond this week that was lower than originally estimated after receiving information about an expected increase in property values for 2014.

Based on the projected 6 percent increase in property values the new projected increase in the tax rate for the district’s bonds, should the $195 million bond pass in November, would be $1.47 per $1,000 assessed value over the 2013 tax rate. That would pencil out to an increase of $36.75 per month for the owner of a $300,000 home or $441 per year.

The bond would be repaid over 20 years, being repaid in full in 2034. The district would have to pay interest on the bonds at a rate of about 4 percent, which would

Search for answers at heart of Bra Dash 5K

BY KRIS HILL khill@maplevalleyreporter.com

Kristi Blair’s vision for the second Bra Dash 5K is not too different from the first time around.

Blair, founder of the Maple Valley-based nonprofit Wings of Karen, said the plan for this year’s event, set for Sept. 15 at Lake Wilderness Park, is much the same as a year ago. The event raised $30,000 which was given as a grant to a scientist at the Fred

Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

“We’re just building on what we had last year,” Blair said. “It was such a great success.”

Given how well last year’s Bra Dash — a 5 kilometer run or walk — Blair didn’t want to change the formula. Not only was the inaugural event able to generate so much in cash donations it drew about 800 participants. As of Aug. 14 about 1,000 signed up for this

year’s event.

Still, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t some new elements this year.

“Part of how it has changed is the support,” Blair said. “Now that we have a year behind us all of the businesses … are backing the run.”

Sponsors such as Talking Rain, The Walking Co. and Sports Authority have offered a tremendous amount of support, Blair said.

“Everything is just bigger and better,” Blair said. “Because of the sponsors there’s some really fun things planned, booths … lots of giveaways that will make it a full [ more DASH page 6 ]

budget,” Benson said. “I’ve got the background on that.”

Oglesbee said that he is running because of his passion for the city and desire to help.

“I wanted to run because I am very involved with the city,” Oglesbee said. “I care so much about its history because I never liked history in high school, it was my least favorite subject, but to this day it is my passion and when I walk into that museum, seeing how we came to be and knowing that our future can be just as proud as we are about our past.”

If elected, Benson said that her top three priorities are a sustainable city budget, public safety—specifically maintaining the

police force, and making sure the master planned developments of YarrowBay are implemented according to the plans.

“Small cities all struggle with having enough income and because of the change in the economy and the budget through the state there are some funds we aren’t going to have available that were available to us before, especially the liquor taxes aren’t going to be available to us,” Benson said.

She went on to explain that she thinks the city will be able to make it financially for the next few years, in part because the city has been looking ahead.

“We’re looking at five-year budgets now instead of a one-year budget so it’s not like we’re going to make a huge mistake,” Benson said. “We’ve already got it—the

budget—planned for five years and I think that’s really what you need to do in budgeting, and just don’t add any new expenses and try not to deplete our reserves…We do have reserves and, you know, unless something terrible happens we should be able to support our city.”

Benson said that maintaining the city’s police department would be a priority for her.

“Whatever we can do to maintain the police force,” Benson said. “Their contract is up next year so we’re going to try to negotiate some of the things, reduce some of their expenses to the city.”

As for her final point, making sure the MPDs are developed according to the plans that have been made, Benson said that

making sure YarrowBay follows the rules and that the environment is protected as well as the school agreement are her top concerns.

“I’ve lived here for 34 years and I really didn’t like the idea of what happened with the development,” Benson said. “I think the city is very fragile and the construction could affect, just, everything. So I’m hoping through this process and what we’re doing now that we will be able to make sure that they do everything by law.”

Oglesbee said that his top three issues to focus on would be managing the MPDs, factually educating the public, and supporting the strong-mayor form of government. [ more COUNCIL page 9 ]

Then in 1991, Thiele was a victim of a recession and lost his job as part of a reduction in force, commonly known in the teaching business as being RIF’d.

“We always knew we would come back to the Northwest,” Thiele said.

“So, I decided to put out applications up here. This was the spring of 1991. There was no online application process. This was old school.”

Thiele called his mother and ask her to help him get his hands on applications.

The first school district to call Thiele back was Tahoma. He traveled to Maple Valley in July 1991, interviewed for and was offered a job at Tahoma Junior High, which had a brand new principal who just came from Tukwila, a man named Bruce Zahradnik.

When the Thieles moved back to Washington state, they rented an apartment in Issaquah not far from the district office he now works in. His wife worked at Nordstrom in Bellevue while he commuted to Maple Valley.

how my relationship started with SPU.” He earned his teaching certification at SPU — he would later earn his principal’s certification and a master’s in school administration from the small, private university — then student taught and substitute taught in the Seattle Public Schools after graduating in the middle of the year in 1986.

One day he went down to a career fair at the Tacoma Dome — had ended up late because he subbed that day — in search of job leads.

“There weren’t a ton of jobs here,” Thiele said. “As I was walking out I walked by the LA Unified District booth. I explained to the woman what my background was … that I was very comfortable teaching in an urban environment and she offered me a teaching contract and I took it.”

He worked at Patrick Henry Junior High, a large school at the time with 1,200 students in seventh through ninth grades.

After he moved to the San Fernando Valley and got his life set up, Thiele said, he went home over winter break and proposed to Jill.

because that’s what his classmates in the Jackson School of International Studies seemed to do at the time but that didn’t seem to be his calling, either.

“I was exploring,” Thiele said.

The youngest of six, Thiele found work with his brother who is in the construction business. One day, though, he decided to venture into the School of Education at UW. He asked a woman working there about their post-graduate teaching certification programs. She told him he would have to wait a year to start and the program would last about 18 months.

Thiele wasn’t sure about waiting two and a half years to start generating an income. The friends he lived with in a house in the University District while he was at UW went their separate ways. At that point, he moved into an apartment in Ballard with a friend, and he heard of Seattle Pacific University which was just a short drive away at the bottom of Queen Anne hill.

Summer is one of the best times of the year.

Particularly favored by children.

But every kid knows that school is soon to come. The orientation is on our heels and Mattson is calling our names. But other than the dread, nervousness, and excitement that emulsifies in my mind, there’s that one great thing about the summer’s end.

That one great thing is the sales, sales, and more sales! The time to tackle this is now.

So yes, going to the mall is on my to do list.

I recently went shopping with my grandma, and we drove up to the overly crowded Westfield Mall. Well, the most crowded place wasn’t even in the mall. It was the Old Navy near the mall! I wonder why — maybe its because literally everything there was under $10!

The result of this was 45 minutes in the dressing room. When we left there, I think my grandma was as exhausted as me!

Now it was time to go into the mall. Besides the people walking all different directions on the aisles, you had to look out for some of those kiosks. They’d suck you in like a tractor beam.

One time a few years back when I was again shopping with my grandma, this young man at a kiosk got her attention. He influenced her to try this nail product. She didn’t really want to buy it but he sure wouldn’t take no for an answer!

He was literally holding her arm so we wouldn’t walk away. She actually bought the nail stuff just so we could leave. Then, he enticed her to try a face mask that would make her look younger!

All that did was leave a white crust on her face!

Buying and selling...sheets Those in the newspaper world are collectively wringing their hands and tearing their hair over the sale of a couple of East Coast dailies, the impact of the Internet, revenue and other garbled gerunds.

In the office a couple of us were reading a release from the CEO of a national online media outlet that used a string of mangled and malignant clauses to describe something; I was never sure what, but I suspect he was laying off a pile of people — of course, in a proud and positive way. He sprinkled in a

the ride home. I love the fact that my grandma was singing along to “Blurred Lines” with me.

You almost can’t resist grooving along. I just think that like me, she was glad to be out of that mall. You’d never think you could feel so claustrophobic in such a large building!

Of course, after I said thank you and goodbye to my grandma, I runway modeled all my clothes to my parents. I had to show off my stuff ! So after a new pair of shoes or two and a few more shirts, I will be completely stocked for seventh grade.

We agreed not to walk over there again. But of course, with our luck, a man at the same type of kiosk started talking to us, and my grandma replied with a “Not you guys again! I’m not falling for any of that again!” Slap in the face dude!

Anyway, we went to a few of the girls stores like Aeropostale and Delia’s, and I always teased my grandma when we passed Hollister or Abrecrombie and Fitch. The loud music and darkness with bright spotlights drive her crazy. And we didn’t go in there, either. But we did go into a few of the women’s store for grandma. After that I accomplished my mission. I got some really cute clothes and along the way I think we both had a really good time together.

I got most of the essentials plus an adorable dress for my uncle’s and soon-to-be aunt’s wedding! I’ll say that’s a day. The most fun part was

few references to the happy future, models and commitment, which really means no future, stupid plastic models that don’t fit together and I want more money for my commitment to nothing.

CEOs should try playground rules occasionally. Say what you mean or we take your marbles.

One would think an industry that is supposed to be about communications would occasionally try that – communicate.

Every time someone from the media business predicts the future I get a headache and run for the buttermilk. It’s the only thing that cures me.

However, there are much more important issues than media moguls and their malicious clauses — and chief among those issues are sheets.

Forget newspapers, we need to consider bed sheets.

I was listening to the women who surround me at the office during the Enumclaw Street Fair and they were going on and on about bed

sheets. I could not understand what the heck the fuss was about.

They were talking about buying sheets. I never thought anyone ever actually bought sheets for themselves. I figure they came as gifts or when you rented a cheap bed it came with sheets.

Who knew women really buy sheets and apparently like to buy them. Like it is fun or something.

I have an economic theory. When God created Eve, the sheet business came with the package.

I know of no male type human who would put a sheet on a bed if it were not for a woman. Without women the entire industry would collapse overnight.

Know what would happen then? Sheet CEOs would come out with a bunch of “we are proudly looking forward to a positive future with our bed sheetless model for men who are really pigs.”

I better go find some sheets to proudly put on my bed.

www.covingtonreporter.com • www.maplevalleyreporter.com mean that over the 20 years the total cost of the $195 million bond would be $322 million.

The construction of a new Tahoma High School, which would be located in Maple Valley and serve students in grades nine through 12, is the centerpiece of the bond. Construction of the high school building is projected to cost about $144 million or about $250 per square foot. Those figures don’t include the costs for planning the site and permitting.

“We’re confident that we’ll have an attractive building but it’s also going to be done within the character of this community,” said district spokesman Kevin Patterson. “It has been made very clear to us, and these are the words people use, ‘we don’t want a Taj Mahal.’ And we won’t do that — we don’t at any of our facilities. We’re very frugal. So we want a functional building. What’s going to drive it is the educational program, not the bells and whistles. We want something that is going to last for 50 years at the minimum. So it’s going to be designed in a way that creates a very solid structure. We want it to look good, but it’s not going to be fancy.

It’s going to be in the center of the community and we want the community to take pride in it.”

The proposed high school site is 35 acres in what is known as the Donut

Hole, 156 acres of countyowned property located off Southeast Kent-Kangley Road and 228th Street Southeast. The school district and the county reached a deal for the district to buy the 35 acres for $9 million after the district received $4 million to put toward the cost of the property from the state legislature. The other $5 million will come from the district’s capital projects fund, which is made up mostly of impact fees the district receives from new home construction, according to Patterson. He said that district officials hope that the sale will be finalized by the end of the year.

Patterson also said that the entire process to build the school, from start to finish, is expected to take four years. That time includes planning and creating the blueprints, getting the necessary permits, prepping the site, and construction.

The district’s goal would therefore be to have students in the new school for the 2017-2018 school year.

Building a comprehensive high school would then allow the district to realign the other buildings, get rid of portables and relieve the district’s overcrowding problems.

Currently the district has 71 portables district-wide.

In May 2013 the average class size at the district’s elementary schools was 26.25 and at the middle schools was 30.15. Figuring with an average class size of 27

district-wide, roughly 1,900 students are housed in portables each day, which is about 25 percent of the district’s students.

Patterson said that it is expected for the student headcount to top out in 2021 or 2022.

“It’s going to be touchand-go because we’re thinking our elementary schools are going to reach their maximum capacity — which they’re close now — by about 2016,” Patterson said.

The plans for district realignment call for Glacier Park and Rock Creek to remain elementary schools.

Lake Wilderness, which is currently the largest elementary school in the state, will also remain an elementary school but the older portion of the school will be torn down and the school will become about half its current size. Shadow Lake will also remain an elementary school but will only house half the elementary grades, with the other half housed at Cedar River as a companion school. Tahoma Middle School is slated to become an elementary school and Tahoma Junior High and the current Tahoma High School building will both be turned into middle schools.

Patterson said after construction is complete district administrators anticipate that there would still be room to grow before they expect enrollment to peak, and that they

wouldn’t expect needing to make major changes to the way the district is aligned thereafter.

“We never say never as far as boundaries because you are always having to look at where the kids are coming from and adjust boundaries, make some minor adjustments, but once we reconfigure the schools — and we’ll have to draw new boundaries as part of that process, we’re adding two new elementary schools basically — then that will set our basic boundaries and they should hold pretty well,” Patterson said. “Essentially we should be in good shape for a long time.”

The rest of the money from the bonds would go toward things like improving security, retrofitting classrooms to make them grade level appropriate, new heating and cooling systems, new roofs, siding, and other similar projects to update and improve the buildings.

The district is currently working on creating an itemized list of projects that Patterson said he expects to have by the end of the month. The original project list came back with a price tag of $243 million and the district leadership cut that back to $175 million worth of projects when it presented to the school board on Aug. 1 and the board ultimately made the decision to go out for the $195 million bond.

PERICARDITIS There is a double layer of tissue that surrounds the human heart. This is called the pericardial sac. Between these layers of the pericardial sac is a bit of fluid that is there for lubrication.

Sometimes the sac becomes inflamed and can cause a significant (and sometimes worrisome) amount of pain. This is known as pericarditis. Pericarditis can be acute, lasting less than a few weeks, or chronic, lasting for six months or more. Often doctors diagnose idiopathic pericarditis, which simply means there is no known cause for the inflammation and swelling. Sometimes the swelling is viral or caused by trauma to the area, such as heart attack or surgery. The most common symptom of pericarditis is chest pain. Any abnormal or persistent chest pain should be immediately evaluated by a doctor.

If you have any symptoms of pericarditis, it is important to call your health care provider right away. Left untreated, pericarditis can become a life-threatening condition as it can possibly lead to cardiac tamponade (a severe compression of the heart that impairs its ability to function).

To schedule an appointment at Southlake Clinic, please call (253) 395-1972. Our Covington clinic is located at 27005 168th Place SE. Our primary care providers are supported by a network of multispecialty physicians and services.

“The contingency plan is that when the buildings hit maximum capacity we’re going to have to change the schedule,” Patterson said.

“Most likely with a yearround, multi track schedule at the elementary schools and then a double-shift, actually having two shifts of students, at the junior high and high school.”

Patterson said the district would have to start planning right away because it would have to give families and teachers plenty of notice and would have to have all the details worked out well in advance.

“It’s not ideal, there’s a reason school districts don’t intentionally do these schedules,” Patterson said.

“It’s not a threat, it’s just the way it is. We’ve talked about this for years now.

We talked about it in 2011 with the bond measure, that this was an alternative plan when we reached our maximum capacity.”

construction bond was passed in the district was in 1997 for $45 million, which paid for the remodeling of the current Tahoma High School among other projects, and is still being repaid.

“It (the ‘97 bond) ends at the end of 2016, so if we do nothing else that will just go away,” Patterson said.

“But what we’re proposing, of course, is to start this (the $195 million bond) in 2014 and so if you look at the total bond rate, then they start adding what the project cost would be.”

Patterson explained that the bond is structured so that the collection rate remains steady throughout the course of the bond, rather than having the collection rate higher the first few years until the 1997 bond is paid off.

“The ‘97 bond was for $45 million dollars, so it was quite a bit less than what we’re asking for now and even though it helps to have that drop off the books it (the bond that will be on the November ballot) is not a replacement bond,” Patterson said. “We’re asking for more money, so it’s going to cost more.”

Patterson said that if the bond measure fails the district will have to start making other plans for dealing with the overcrowding.

It’s purely to do something active for a good cause with your buddies. We were hoping it would inspire people not only for the cause but for their own personal health.”

Blair is also excited about the new course this year which is a loop that starts in Lake Wilderness Park near the beach then heads up onto the Cedar River Trail then comes back.

“It’s really scenic which is what I wanted, I wanted to capture Lake Wilderness Park, it’s so pretty,” Blair said. “Last year it was so new, people out in the community when we came by their homes they came out and cheered even if they didn’t know.”

At this point just a few weeks out, Blair said, there are just details to take care of but the planning is wrapped up. What people can do, if they want to support the Bra Dash, is to get the word out. She cited how the Maple Valley Bears youth football team has gotten involved, invited its players to participate, wear pink football socks.

“Word of mouth is fantastic,” Blair said. “We don’t spend money on advertising because we want it all to go to the cause.”

Register by Aug. 31 to get an event T-shirt. Registration closes Sept. 10 but there will be day of event registration.

Blair said that while she is particularly passionate about breast cancer research she knows people are touched by cancer in many ways.

“When you stand in line at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance as a patient and you see the line is out the door and it’s all cancers … you realize we need to find answers,” she said.

While it’s going to be bigger and better, the Bra Dash hasn’t changed much in the past year, because it’s all about raising money to find answers.

Typically the last few weeks before the race bring the most registrations, so, she won’t know if they reach that goal until days before the event. She encourages participants to fundraise but it is not a requirement.

Whatever money is raised by this event, 100 percent will go toward research in the Puget Sound region.

“We have such phenomenal facilities in this area, we should support them,” Blair.

“We have some of the best facilities in the world.”

She also hopes those who attend the Bra Dash year also find it inspiring in terms of getting healthy in their own lives. Blair explained there is a significant amount of research which shows that being active can help prevent breast cancer.

“You might get a handful of people who are out there for their (race) time and the run, but, for a lot of people it’s about the experience,” Blair said. “You can make of it whatever you want.

was something I was really proud of last year is that everyone had a great time, there were a lot of laughs, a lot of smiles.”

Blair described last year’s Bra Dash as powerful particularly because of the support from the community, not just Maple Valley, but from all around it.

“That’s the theme for our participants, local heroes … because of what they’re giving back just by participating,” Blair said. “Look what these local heroes did to fund this grant.”

That grant went to a researcher focused on finding another method of early detection, Blair said, because 20 percent of women are not diagnosed by a mammogram. That tool did not diagnose her breast cancer nor did it catch her mother’s, who is the namesake of the foundation.

Blair said she would like to see twice as many participants and twice as much money raised this year.

www.covingtonreporter.com • www.maplevalleyreporter.com moved in Oct. 31, 1992.

And 13 months later their daughter Kendall, who is now a student a Western Washington University, was born. His older daughter attended kindergarten at Rock Creek Elementary then when she was in first grade, the district moved elementary students from Cedar River to Glacier Park and middle school students from Glacier Park to Cedar River.

“I opened Glacier Park when I was a teacher in 1994,” Thiele said. “The school was built as an elementary but we commandeered it because we had a bubble at the middle level, it was an all seventh grade building, then I became an assistant principal.”

Then when Zahradnik moved into the Tahoma district office, Thiele became the principal at the middle school. At the end of the 1999-2000 school year, he and his staff swapped buildings with Emilie Hard and her staff.

Hard, by the way, is now the executive director of teaching and learning in the Issaquah School District.

Thiele was the first principal at Cedar River Middle School, a job he served in for a year before moving to the Issaquah School District to take over as principal at Issaquah Middle School.

“I loved being a classroom teacher and I loved the idea of being able to influence what I believe were the best practices in terms of instructional leadership,” Thiele said. “If you have passion for that you realize as a teacher, I can influence my students and some of my colleagues in my department, but as a principal I can have influence over an entire building.

I’ve always been interested in leadership. Being a school administrator gave me the opportunity to have a broader influence over the educational program and one of the things I talk about is the overall experience people have in our school systems, not just the students, but the parents and the staff.”

What appealed to him about the move into the Issaquah School District was that it was an opportunity to work at a larger school in a larger district as well as the fact it was a middle school with three grades.

“It allowed students to develop an affiliation with their school and for me to get to know the students and their families better because I would have them for three years,” Thiele said.

“One of the hardest things I ever had to do was leave Cedar River Middle School.

I had been with those people for 10 years as a colleague, as an assistant principal and as a principal.”

There are times, though, when you can’t pick the timing of an opportunity, Thiele said, and this time he decided to pursue it. It seems to have worked out, he said, now that he has risen to the highest level of leadership in the district as superintendent.

He enjoyed working in Tahoma, learned much and couldn’t be happier about the education his children received. Thiele hopes those who live in the community now will support it in November when they have a chance to vote on the district’s $195 million construction.

“When we moved to Maple Valley it was a great community, it grew so much in the time we were there,” Thiele said. “I really believe that the development of Maple Valley has been good for the community. I also believe that was good for the school district because now it’s a suburb.

I sincerely, sincerely hope that the voters will pass the bond for the school system because they have real needs. I really support Mike (Maryanski) and Rob (Morrow) and the staff and what they’re trying to do. We feel our children received a world class education.”

Working in Tahoma and living in Maple Valley gave him an even deeper appreciation for the community of Issaquah where he has worked since 2001 and now lives.

“I absolutely love this community and have a deep affection for the staff, the kids, the families, and my wife Jill and I, are just thrilled to have a home built here,” Issaquah. “I was the associate superintendent for five years so it’s been a progression for me. I have a tremendous affection for the students, the community, the staff here. I’ve been at the table working closely with our school board which I feel very fortunate to have an outstanding school board.”

Thiele was appointed as superintendent by the Issaquah School Board in February. He pointed to the support of voters in the district, who passed the last bond at the height of the recession by more than 70 percent, the district’s foundation which raised more than $1 million last year, and the high level of participation in Parent Teacher

Associations where some schools have community members who don’t even have children attending the school where they are in the PTA or PTSA. He explained that some of the most educated people in the country live in the Issaquah School District due to the employers in the area. Because those people tend to value education the district receives an unusual level of support, Thiele said.

“That’s appealing when you’re in my business,” Thiele said. “I don’t have to go out and spend a lot of energy getting my community involved in schools.”

Instead, he plans to spend his energy in his first year as superintendent focused on three areas of emphasis, something he explained at the district’s recent leadership retreat.

“The first one is school safety and security,” he said.

“I have a very comprehensive definition of what I mean by that, it’s not just emergency evacuation drills or construction of safe facilities. I want kids to feel good. It goes back to the idea of having the best experience possible. I feel kids will perform best academically if they feel safe.”

His second emphasis ties into that. He wants to encourage creating and cultivating a culture of kinds.

“Sometimes it’s hard in our business, emotions run high,” Thiele said. “These are people’s babies that we’re working with. When people feel like they’re in a friendly welcoming environment is they’re less likely to behave in less friendly ways.”

He wants students to feel welcome from the moment the bus doors swing open in the morning to the time they are interacting with a teacher in a classroom before the last bell rings.

“I really encourage kindness,” he said. “I just believe in it.”

His third emphasis is related to sustainability, something that is significant at the state level, as well.

“We have some incredible sustainability efforts,” Thiele said. “Our students really provide leadership in these areas. When you look at the recycling efforts and the composting efforts I think our young people have really embraced the idea of sustainability. I’m not going to sacrifice cleanliness or comfort in the learning environment but at the same time so much of what we can do is easy to do, it is right and here’s a really important point, it

saves money.”

These are all important points, Thiele said, and he’s not implementing drastic changes because he believes there are many great things happening in the district as well as plenty things on the plates of teachers and administrators such as Common Core and new evaluation systems.

Ultimately, Thiele said, he believes deeply in the importance of education calling it the cornerstone of democracy in America. He said he owes the educators

of the Kent School District, especially those along the way who were particularly encouraging to him and set high standards. He is also grateful for his experience in the Tahoma School District.

“Tahoma, under the leadership of Mike (Maryanski) and Nancy Skerrit and Bruce Zahradnik provided me with really cutting edge understanding of curriculum, instruction and leadership,” Thiele said.

“I learned a tremendous amount. I brought that with

me and developed that.”

But, Thiele is making his own mark on the Issaquah School District, though his roots in Lake Sawyer, Kent and Maple Valley still run deep.

“Having been at the district office now starting my 10th year, I just feel such a part of the mission of this school district and I feel privileged to be able to provide leadership in a community that supports public education,” Thiele said. “I live and breathe public education.”

Getting creative in the race to eat all that summer fruit Every day I seem to be scrambling to eat fruit before it goes to the great compost bin in the sky, Cedar Grove Composting.

But I can only eat so much fruit by myself and it seems my family has quit eating fruit this summer.

My youngest daughter usually loves eating blueberries just by themselves, but there they sat in the fridge untouched. I also spied a five pound tub of sour cream burrowed deep in the fridge.

You’d be surprised by the things my husband likes to haul home from his club’s car show. When the dinner is over and everything hasn’t been consumed, they start offering up food before they throw it away.

My husband asks if I’d

I Googled it and there were actually many recipes for blueberries and sour cream: pie, cake, tarts, coffee cake. They all sounded yummy, so I chose the one that used the most blueberries and sour cream. I had to make a dent in my ingredients whose condition was fading as the seconds wore on.

It was very simple to make as long as you have a spring form pan, which I do. Although I haven’t used it in so long, I wasn’t sure if I had one. But there it was, stored where I see it every day with my colander set nestled inside it. It’s amazing what we look at frequently but don’t register.

So here is my recipe for saving blueberries and using up sour cream. I got it from a website called Cookie Madness, http:// www.cookiemadness.net.

Maybe next time I’ll tell you what I do with bananas.

Blueberry Sour Cream Tart Crust: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (6 3/4 oz) 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon of salt 4 ounces butter, unsalted (cold) 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a nine inch round springform pan with cooking spray. It’s best to use light colored silver rather than black.

In a bowl or food processor, combine flour, half cup granulated sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut or process in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir or process in the egg and one teaspoon vanilla. Pat lightly into the bottom of the prepared pan.

Sprinkle cornstarch over the blueberries and gently stir to coat cornstarch with blueberries (it will disappear as you stir). Spread the blueberries over the crust.

Stir sour cream, 1/2 cup of sugar, egg yolks and 1 teaspoon vanilla together in a mixing bowl. Pour this mixture over the blueberries and carefully spread it across the top.

Set the springform pan on a foil lined cookie sheet and bake for 60 to 70 minutes in the preheated oven, until the top is lightly browned around edges— it should still look a little loose in the center and will

like this or that. Normally, I say no, because who needs five pounds of sour cream or the two pound box of butter pats? He brought them home anyway and stuck in the fridge— butter in the freezer. We used the sour cream a couple times on the baked potatoes we also brought home.

Then I forgot all about it.

I even bought a couple containers of sour cream last week. So when I spied the blueberries in the fridge, there behind them sat the five pounds of sour cream. There are some things I don’t know why I know, but I thought to myself, “Blueberries and sour cream seem like a common combination. I wonder if there is a recipe for a blueberry sour cream cake?”

as part of the Active Living and Healthy Lifestyles Day theme for the market.

Topping: 4 cups fresh blueberries or thawed and drained frozen blueberries 2 teaspoons cornstarch 2 cups sour cream 1/2 cup granulated sugar 2 egg yolks 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups sweetened whipped cream for topping

set as it cools and chills.

Loosen hot cake from pan with a knife, but do not remove sides quite yet. Cool completely and chill for a few hours. Remove sides of springform pan. Serve each slice with whipped cream or spread whipped cream over entire cake before slicing.

Makes 8 servings.

[ COUNCIL from page 2] “It’s been quite a heated discussion (about YarrowBay) over the years and I think now that it’s kind of mapping its way, with my experience in construction management I think I can certainly manage the projects with authority,” Oglesbee said. He went on to explain that giving residents factual information is of the utmost importance and that he would make every effort to be available to residents.

“Trying to be more publicly out there—as involved in the community as I am, I talk to quite a diverse amount of people, whether it’s scout dads, our Labor Day committee, it’s just communicating with folks who aren’t aware,” Oglesbee said. And he said he believe’s the city’s form of government works and supporting it is important.

“I believe it (the form of government) is true, pure, it’s definitely a signature of our history and I think assuring everyone that is the correct form of government in Black Diamond.”

which two months. Could you please write about this in your column? P.L., Enumclaw 1. The answer is the “A” months of August and April. I heard this gardening tip for the first time early this spring and tried it. You won’t have total slug control but if you only want to invest in slug bait twice a year, April and August are the months to be a slime buster.

Q. What is the name of the tree that has needles like a fir tree but turns bright yellow in the fall?

I am pretty sure all the needles fall from the tree in the winter. Also, when can I plant this tree if I find one at the nursery? S.S., Puyallup

A. You must be thinking of the Western larch (Larix occidentalis) and nothing looks as spectacular in an open lawn as this majestic native tree in golden autumn splendor. The needles do fall from the tree in winter but they make a great mulch and do not need to be raked. You can find this tree at local nurseries.

Potted larch trees can be added to the landscape any time of the year – as long as you remember to water after planting and for a few months until the tree roots are established.

Q. I love the look of authentic clay flower pots.

They do seem to dry out quickly, however. I have seen photos of your garden from your blog at lowes.

facing in the coming years are finances and bringing businesses to the city.

Benson said that this year four businesses have left Black Diamond, two of whom she had talked to.

“They both said that it (Black Diamond) is a terrible place to do business because everybody goes through Maple Valley and Covington to get here and so nobody buys anything here—they’ve already bought everything before they move in, before they come home, because it’s more convenient,” Benson said. “So somehow or other we have to attract some more business and I’m not an expert on that.”

One way Benson said she thinks the city can help bring in businesses is by making sure there aren’t surprises for businesses that are seeking to come into the city.

“I think the biggest thing is to make sure the city is doing the right thing and the inspectors are really thorough,” Benson said.

Oglesbee said that the two biggest issues he sees for

com/LCI-Gardening and website and know you also use clay pots. How to do you keep them watered? C., Email A. We must be kindred spirits in our love of clay pots but I confess I only plant drought resistant succulents and geraniums in my clay pots and never rent the space to heavy drinkers. Once a clay pot dries out the best way to save the wilting plant is to immerse the entire pot up to its rim in water so that the clay can absorb the moisture from the outside and the inside. Many of the large pots that I use may look like terra cotta but are actually light weight look-alikes that conserve water. Even the Queen of England has

abandoned the tradition of real clay pots in some of her large country gardens. Fall is a good time of year to score great prices on garden pots.

Black Diamond are the development and retention of businesses, and a loss of friendships and town unity over the MPDs. He said that he is concerned about the fact that businesses have been leaving Black Diamond and said he would be committed to working on reunifying the town.

“They’ve created, residents have created, two separate special interest groups — Save Black Diamond, Proud — and they both have completely different views and I believe they’re was a lot of good friendships between those two groups prior to the development issue and I would really like to bring that back—the unity and the common sense knowledge that each of us have to entertain because the amount of passion that is within those two groups just says it all, what we are as Black Diamond,” Oglesbee said.

“I would just like to bring that respect back to the city so that we can dissolve special interest groups to create one large group that is well-focused on what we’re facing in the future.”

Got raspberry plants?

This is a good week to prune the canes of your raspberries so they’ll avoid disease and produce more berries next summer.

If your raspberries bear in June cut the canes that already gave you fruit all the way to the ground.

For ever-bearing raspberry varieties cut back the canes only by one half.

You can also snip and clip off dead and faded blooms from all your flowering plants. Deadheading spent blooms not only keeps the garden tidy but discourages insects and pests. Summer

From Walmart clubs to pro golfer

STUDENT NAMED TO TOP LACROSSE PLAYER LIST Eastside Catholic midfielder and Maple Valley resident Colin MacIlvennie has been recognized as one of the top prep lacrosse seniors-to-be in America.

MacIlvennie, a 2013 US Lacrosse High School AllAmerican and two-time All-State selection, was named by Inside Lacrosse to its annual “Top 50 Young Gun Seniors” list.

MacIlvennie, who has committed to play NCAA Division I lacrosse at Maryland following his senior season at Eastside Catholic, ranked 38th on the list.

Tahoma High grad Jeremy Johnson was sidelined from his favorite sport, baseball, in high school when he tore his rotator cuff and was told he’d never pitch again. But Johnson couldn’t sit out for long.

“I don’t like to just sit around on the couch, I like sports,” Johnson said.

While on vacation Johnson and a friend decided on a whim to play a round of golf — Johnson’s first ever.

On the fifth hole, with the sun in his eyes, Johnson hit a hole in one. He was hooked.

“Then four months (later) I have this set of clubs from Walmart and I go out and made the varsity high school golf team,” Johnson said.

Mike Hanson, one of the golf team coaches at Tahoma, described Johnson as focused and dedicated.

“He began golfing in high school and within one year was one of our best golfers.”

Hanson wrote in an email interview. “Most of the kids have played since they were little.”

After graduating from Tahoma in 2009 Johnson played for Green River

Community College for two years and played in some local events as an amateur.

He also started working at local golf courses teaching lessons and started going through the business side of the PGA program.

Johnson went pro a year and a half ago and plays on the Pepsi Tour.

In January Johnson moved to Arizona to play in Pepsi Tour tournaments, finishing in the top 10 in four out of the five tournaments he played.

“I had the time of my life down there,” Johnson said.

He came back to the Northwest in April to do some more teaching through this summer at Jade Greens, after which he plans to hit the tournament schedule hard.

Johnson has also volunteered with Tahoma team as his schedule has allowed.

“He’s passionate about golf and has a knack for being able to pass his wisdom on to others,” Hanson wrote. “The coaching staff at Tahoma is very proud of him.”

Johnson said his favorite aspect of golf is how it has challenged him to grow on a personal level.

“There’s the competitive side, but I like who it

has made me as a person,” Johnson said. “Golf has taught me to be positive with life and focus on those things.”

Some of the key things Johnson said he has learned are patience, responsibility and respect.

“It’s a respectful sport, it’s an honorable sport,” Johnson said. “It’s all on you, out there on tour we’re all going for the same goal and we want to do this for a living.”

Johnson largely taught his swing to himself, with help from his dad who played golf at the college level. These days Johnson calls Doug Campbell, who also teaches at Jade Greens and played in the tour, his swing coach — whom he goes to when he needs feedback and help adjusting his swing.

“I love to hate this sport.

One day you’re playing the best golf of your life and the next day you feel like you’ve never held a golf club before.”

Johnson said his favorite round was when he was 17 and playing at Lake Wilderness Golf Course and shot 61, setting the course record.

“I can remember that [ more GOLFER page 11 ]

Johnson hopes to keep working his way up the levels of the PGA, which includes several different tours, and eventually earn his card to play in the PGA Tour. “They say it’s hard to make it on the Tour, but it’s even harder to keep your Tour card,� Johnson said.

He went on to explain that the Tour consists of the top 125 money-earning golfers in the world and to stay on the list you have to make enough money through sponsorships to stay at the top.

Services took a portion of the revenue it discovered needed to be paid.

Given the success of the franchise fee audit of Comcast, Hendrickson said, the city will partner with Muni Services again to conduct a utility tax audit. “That will probably translate into additional utility tax because Comcast pays both the franchise fee and the utility tax,� Hendrickson said. “We’re just getting started on that.

We’re just in the beginning stages of (the utility tax audit) and putting the agreement together.�

He expects that audit to get started in the next month.

Hendrickson said the city will likely look at other utility companies, too. “We may down the road look at sales tax but that’s not on the radar right this minute,� Hendrickson said. “It’s just shifting revenue to where it should be in case it’s going somewhere different. It’s another rock to overturn and see what’s under it.�

The documents say Hicks met with the undercover detective and set a time to meet the 13-year-old but later changed his mind and sent a text message that said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorryâ&#x20AC;Śbut I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mess around with a minor.â&#x20AC;?

SO YOU CAN HEAR, BUT IT’S NOT CLEAR How your hearing works: sound enters your ear canal through the air.

Smart New Sound Chip Brings in the Talk, Screens Out The Noise...

FREE

Demonstrations:

August 23rd - 30th Only!

Hearing correction has just been revolutionized due to a tiny new device that can be programmed to amplify only missing consonant sounds, stimulating the high frequency hair cells and ignoring the rest.

The brain of this smart new device is a microprocessor chip that analyses and clarifies sound according to its frequency. Using a technology called Live Speech Mapping, Michelle adjusts the high frequency speech sounds like F, S, Th, T, P, and K are restored.

The prescription is set as you watch and listen.

Sound Reaches Your Eardrum, which vibrates, starting a chain reaction.

The eardrum is located at the end of your ear canal. Your ear drum catches sound waves, vibrates, and begins a chain reaction. Your eardrum is connected to the first of three bones.

We will check to ensure your eardrum is healthy.

The ear drum is connected to the first of three tiny bones.

These bones are hinged and each causes the one next to it to move.

Hearing Problem #2 The three tiny bones of your inner ear conduct sound between your ear drum and your cochlea. Otosclerosis is the calcification of these bones, resulting in conductive hearing loss. About 10% of people have this type of loss.

This movement vibrates against the oval window in your cochlea, sending sound waves through this snail shaped organ.

Hearing Problem #3 The cochlea is a snail-shaped organ containing thousands of living hair cells called stereocilia. A condition known as Sensorineural hear ing loss (nerve type hearing loss) occurs when any of the hair cells become damaged.

Inside the cochlea are thousands of microscopic hair cells called Stereocilia, and these hair cells sense the motion of sound waves.

About 90% of hearing loss is this type. A new hearing computer has now been released that is programmed specifically for the frequencies of hair cells that are damaged, resulting in improved speech understanding.

Consonants

itory Audf the Cort Bra o in

When the hair cells move, they send an electrical impulse through the Eighth Nerve to your brain. Then you hear sound!

like S, T, K, and P, are sensed in the initial section of the cochlea (shown in red).

Medium speech tones are picked up in the mid section (shown in yellow). The low tones of speech are picked up in the last section (shown in blue).

The ear canal’s job is to funnel sound to your ear drum. Sometimes the canal becomes plugged with wax , which mimics a hearing loss because it blocks sound from reaching your eardrum. Use of a cotton swab will pack wax even more. We will check for impacted wax with a video ear camera to see if this is a problem.

Damaged hair cells don’t fire properly and some sounds (fricatives and high tones) are not transmitted to the brain. Hair cell damage is a natural part of aging. It can be caused by moderate sounds over long periods, loud sounds over short periods, or even by prescriptions.
