Medical clinic planned at Four Corners by Valley

Kent Board denies land transfer to Tahoma

BY KRIS HILL khill@maplevalleyreporter.com

BY KATHERINE SMITH

Since demand for doctors has outpaced the services offered in Maple Valley in recent years, Valley Medical Center officials have decided to build a new clinic at Four Corners. The clinic, located on the east side of Maple Valley Highway on the edge of Maple Valley Town Center, will be home to primary care physicians as well as urgent care services, explained Dr. Shannon Markegard, medical director for the clinic and associate medical director for physician services at Valley. Markegard explained that Valley initially operated a small clinic in Four Corner Square after buying out the practice of Dr. David Sweiger in 2005. Markegard began practicing medicine shortly after that with Valley in the clinic in Maple Valley. In 2011, Valley moved the primary care clinic

The Kent School Board voted to deny a petition to allow the Forest Creek neighborhood to become a part of the Tahoma School District and approved an ordinance to let students who live in the neighborhood attend Tahoma schools without needing to obtain a transfer from Kent at its Jan. 22 meeting. The ordinance specifies that the allowance for students to attend Tahoma schools without a transfer will be in place for 10 years. This also means that Kent will retain the tax revenue from the assessed valuation of the homes. Residents of Forest Creek submitted a petition in September to the Puget Sound Educational Service District, which oversees boundary changes, to move their subdivision from the Kent School District to the Tahoma School

towards enrichment opportunities like paying for a trip to Disneyland. ERIC MANDEL, The Reporter

A ‘wild’ idea presented for Maple Valley land BY ERIC MANDEL emandel@maplevalleyreporter.com

A motionless white barn owl lays huddled in the corner of a metal incubator, slouched into its wings. Its eyes are hidden behind slits, casting an eery pall of either death or unnatural sleep. The grey-brownbreasted bird was found on the side of the railroad tracks and was hypothermic. On a good day, this stunning species would be plenty unhappy about its confinement — likely offering a shrieking hiss and twisting its head in circles as if it were possessed or about to explode. But this unlucky bird has no choice. It will be kept in the incubator until its body temperature normalizes, which could take 12-24 hours. Vets will then shift the bird to a standard cage, and, shortly after,

move to a larger flight pen where it will be monitored on how well it sees, hears, catches and eats live mice. Assuming the blood work is normal, the bird will then be released. This medium-sized owl is a prime example of an animal that South Sound Critter Care near Maple Valley can effectively hold and treat, along with broken-legged geese, orphaned baby ducks and baby mammals. What started in 2009 as a modestly sized nonprofit wild animal rehab shelter has slowly grown, nearing its maximum capacity of about 2,000 animals in a year.

For Xena Aguayo it isn’t about the recognition, it’s about helping her fellow Falcons

BY KATHERINE SMITH

ksmith@covingtonreporter.com

For Kentlake junior Xena Aguayo serving the Falcon community is about more than praise or awards. It’s about giving back and encouraging her peers to overcome challenges, and knowing it’s OK to fail. Aguayo was named Outstanding Student Advocate by the Kentlake PTSA in January. “It’s better to give than to receive, that’s a really important one,” Aguayo said of the most important things she has learned through participating in leadership classes at Kentlake. “I guess, like when I’m having a hard day or something, when I give to somebody, it just makes me feel better.” Aguayo was originally going to attend Kentwood, but when she heard about Kentlake she decided to give the school a try. “I just really liked it so I decided to stay,” Aguayo said.

The list of events at Kentlake that Aguayo has been involved with is long. She took a lead roll in organizing the school’s first multicultural night last year and helped organize a breast cancer awareness drive that raised more than $6,000, and Falcon Revolution. She also helps put on school assemblies and has been a speaker at Future Falcon Night and at multiple freshman retreats. On top of all that she’s the associated student body vice president this school year, and serves as a State Farm Grant representative. “I just like everything we do, it’s so exciting,” Aguayo said. “Last year we planned our first multicultural night and it was like super stressful because it was like three of us altogether planning this big event. And we were so stressed out, we were worried that we wouldn’t have very many people come and the turnout was just amazing. We had over 200 people in attendance and I was so shocked.”

Community News and Notes BRIGHT LIGHTS OF BROADWAY TO PERFORM MUSICAL REVUE OF BROADWAY LOVE SONGS Bright Lights of Broadway will put on “With love, Bright Lights of Broadway” at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Feb. 15 at Carco Theatre in Renton. The show will be a musical revue of love songs from Broadway musicals. The cast includes community members from cities around the area including Maple Valley, Kent, Covington, and Black Diamond.

them know that at Kentlake, or at any point in your life, it’s OK that you fail as long as you get back up. I’ve just asked for help from my counselors and everything else.” Decreasing isolation that teens can often feel and working to make the Kentlake community stronger are two big factors in what drives Aguayo. “It’s really important to let people know even though you do so much and people see you as accomplishing a lot of things, I have my problems,” Aguayo said. “I’ve failed a lot of times and I want to let people know that even if you fail you are succeeding. Because that’s what it takes to know how to change something.”

Metlife Stadium, where the Seahawks won the Super Bowl, seats more than 80,000

Super Bowl victory party

This was my chance. If I were to ever legally illegally drink on the streets of Seattle, the city’s first ever Super Bowl would be that time. I pictured it being like a weekend in Vegas or going back to Iowa City to tailgate a football game. I opened a beer among a throng of bouncing blue fans who gathered in front of a news truck. I took a sip and watched the moderate chaos unfold. I’d joked with others that, “this is Seattle, people will likely be looting garbage so that they could recycle it.” But, while there certainly wasn’t any imminent danger, people did seem to be letting loose. That’s when a I saw the badge sidle up behind me. “There is no drinking outside,” said the slightly rotund Seattle police officer. “You don’t want to get a drinking in public ticket tonight.” Now, don’t get me wrong: I appreciate a warning as much as the next mild transgressor. But this seemed slightly silly. There were, quite literally, hundreds of people drinking and smoking unimpeded in the streets. Someone had just torn down the street signs on 10th and Pike streets. A miniature bonfire still burned in the center of the mini mob. Me? I was standing there with friends, enjoying the show. And maybe that was the main problem: I wasn’t cheering.

OPINION

O D I D Y O U K N O W ? :

ciation for the Seahawks since moving to town seven months ago. While I can’t fully empathize with Seattle’s previous title drought, this was my first time witnessing a championship while living in the city - though in 1997, 11-year-old me celebrated Green Bay’s win with video games in my Milwaukee basement. So, while I was not exactly coasting on the grace of the sporting gods, I was appreciative of this rare-ish opportunity. As was a large chunk of the team’s recently gained fans. Now, don’t get me wrong, I see nothing wrong with jumping on the proverbial bandwagon. Quite the opposite, actually. I say, embrace your bandwagon-itude. Most people don’t follow

every miserable game for unending years, even if they don’t care to admit it. And that’s the beauty of sports. To enjoy exciting moments with friends and like-minded happy people. The Seahawks’ Super Bowl win is for the newly indoctrinated fans as well as the diehard Seattleites who sat through the Dan Krieg and Rick Mirer years, and cried with Kemp and Griffey, always praying for a damn ring. While the latter fans may appreciate Sunday’s win the most, it wouldn’t be much of a party if they were the only ones celebrating. With that in mind, I stayed with my newfound buddies, moving down a block and opening another can of Rainier. I know. Seattle rebellion is rubbing off on me.

What are these levies, truly? Replacements for levies that Tahoma voters have been supporting for many years. Not new taxes, but rather the continuation of what we have already been paying. Just like other districts throughout Washington, Tahoma has to supplement its budget with levy funds because the legislature does not yet fully fund education. Also mentioned in this boilerplate con statement is that Tahoma doesn’t put student services first. Every dollar of levy monies – for both the operations and technology levies – is spent on student services, from teacher and paraprofessional pay to transportation to athletics, activities, computers and networks. Please show the Freedom Foundation that this was a silly stunt – and, more importantly, help keep our schools moving forward – by voting yes on both levies before Feb. 11. Also please note that there will be no collection van from King County Elections at Central Services this time, so mail your ballots without delay. Please visit www.voteyestahoma.com for more information about the levies. And please, share this important information

with your neighbors, friends and fellow Tahoma parents.

Don’t believe ‘boilerplate’ con statements on levies When you open your ballot and voter’s pamphlet, you will see a statement in opposition of both Tahoma school levies. This same statement was submitted against school measures in King and Pierce counties, by the same three people (none of whom live in or near Maple Valley – the closest Tom Henningsgards and Laurie Lyford – live in Bellevue. I could not find record of a Renay Bennett anywhere nearby). These folks are affiliated with the Freedom Foundation out of Olympia. They don’t have any idea what is going on in Tahoma schools, so don’t be fooled by their erroneous arguments. They are not your neighbors. I know the union officials in the Tahoma School District, and the claim by these out-of-towners that union pressure guides Tahoma’s budget decisions is ridiculous. If you want to know about the budget process, go to the district office and examine the budget (it is all public information) or give Tahoma’s school board members a call. They would be happy to explain the way things actually work here.

Wendy Castleman Voice of Tahoma Education Committee

Kids need to play Lately, I’ve come across an issue that has devastated our streets for a while now: the lack of play! Children are indoors playing video games while the dust collects on every corner of our town. Maple Valley is an amazing city, but without more encouragement to be active, the children that are our futures will never realize the importance of nature and spending time away from their bright lit screens. It’s a bit hypocritical of me to say that, as I’m a teenager in high school addicted to her phone and laptop, but obesity and diabetes are on the rise in youths, and that can be helped through daily activity and fresh air. Okay, exercise won’t FIX obesity and diabetes, but it would definitely aid in creating healthy children who make healthier choices. I believe that if one has a strong voice, they must use that power to create a positive influence on others.

Hair comes and goes but football never changes The Seahawks proved again that football is a young man’s game. Peyton Manning’s Roman numeral age showed and Russell Wilson’s youth did as well. Young legs and arms often spell victory, just as it did in 1969. The Seahawks captivated the young people around me in the office. The young women get all fan nuts over Russell Wilson. I think it is because he has curly hair just like Broadway Joe. I understand that some men are a bit delusional about their hair, or more directly, lack of hair. I try to be extra sensitive about this subject because I am known as Mr. Sweet and Sensitive. Many men are a little jealous of my mop of curly filament (it takes a lot of product for me to keep it under control). There comes a time when we have to accept who we are, that age gives way to youth and some of us are blessed with manes and some are not; we simply have to accept reality and not be delusional. Football is a young man’s game and those young men playing for the Seahawks have hooked the young like Namath did in ‘69. Go hair ... I mean Hawks. Dennis Box Editor

SUPER BOWL

The Seahawks’ Super Bowl win Sunday spurred a few thoughts in my mass of cobwebs. One was that I remember every Super Bowl, from I to XLVIII. That darn time keeps moving, in Roman numerals. I watched the first one with my dad when Vince Lombardi’s Green Bay Packers steamrolled the Kansas City Chiefs, 35-10. Sunday, I watched the Seahawks steamroll the Denver Broncos with my son. It was a good day. It was fitting that Broadway Joe Namath flipped the coin at the opening of the game. I remember Namath beating the Colts and how torn I was to see a young, curly-haired quarterback take apart a team quarterbacked by Earl Morrall with Johnny Unitas on the bench due to an injury. As a kid I was a big Johnny U fan, but I knew the Jets’ coach Weeb Eubank had the Colts and coach Don Shula figured out. Eubank had one other ace – a young Namath with a gun for an arm who was ready to unseat the champion. Namath knew that when you are in the ring you can’t tie the champion, you knock him out.

Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death for women? It’s a major problem in the United States. Every year, 715,000 Americans have a heart attack and 600,000 people die from heart disease – that’s 1 out of every 4 deaths. That’s why February is officially heart health month. We want our customers and associates to be aware of the dangers of this deadly disease so that we can build healthier lives free of cardiovascular disease and stroke. At QFC, the coin boxes located at the checkstands will benefit your local American Heart Association from February 2 – March 1.

[6] February 7, 2014 [ TRANSFER from page 1] District. The request involves 28 homes and about a dozen current students, all of whom attend Tahoma on transfers, which must be obtained annually. In the petition residents made their case based on the fact that residents of Forest Creek have to drive through another subdivision, Eastwood Forest — which is a part of the Tahoma School District — to reach Kent schools and that none of the students currently attend Kent schools.

[ CLINIC from page 1] from Four Corner Square to Sawyer Village, located off Southeast 216th and Kent-Kangley Road. Construction on the 10,000 square foot facility at Four Corners began last fall. Markegard explained that the demand for health care in Maple Valley has outstripped what Valley provides at Lake Sawyer clinic. “They recognize that there’s a huge need for primary care in this area as the community grows,” Markegard said. “That’s why they decided to open up a clinic in Maple Valley, even though it’s outside the hospital district. That community is a very desirable care mix. The median income for families is similar to Bellevue or Newcastle, so, it’s a great

www.covingtonreporter.com • www.maplevalleyreporter.com In the Kent Board meeting minutes for Jan. 22 it was noted that the loss in assessed valuation that would occur if the neighborhood was transferred to Tahoma would result in a 21 cent increase in property taxes per $100,000 of assessed value for a homeowner in the Kent School District. “The tax implications are negligible for both districts,” Patterson wrote in an email Dec. 12. “It is estimated to lower the total tax rate for Tahoma taxpayers by 0.14 percent per $1,000. It increases

the district’s overall assessed valuation by $5,360,000, bringing us up to $3,947,979,281. Kent’s AV goes down and their tax rate goes up by 0.03 percent. So there is virtually no change for either district.” Patterson also noted the two districts did a similar transfer a few years ago in the Lake Youngs area. In an email on Feb. 3, Kent Spokesman Chris Loftis, wrote that under the optional student attendance zone that the Board adopted for the neighborhood other districts

— in this case Tahoma — would receive the per student funds from the state, which is currently about $9,600 per student per year, and Kent would retain the tax revenue. “If one portion of the taxpayer base leaves the district without also lowering the expenditure responsibilities (i.e. fewer school(s) or fewer classrooms) then steady district expenditures are divided among the remaining taxpayers,” Loftis wrote on Feb. 4. “We have a responsibility then to protect the tax

sharing responsibilities of the greater number of citizens.” Kent has notified Tahoma, per the next step in the process outlined by the educational service district, and Patterson wrote in an email on Feb. 4 Tahoma has requested a hearing before the regional committee of the ESD. Hearings occur when the two districts don’t mutually agree on the course of action regarding a proposed transfer. The ESD committee will then be tasked with making the decision about to allow or

deny the transfer. As of the Reporter’s deadline a hearing date had not been set.

place to build a clinic.” And with the Lake Sawyer clinic at capacity, Markegard said, it makes even more sense. Markegard is one of three physicians who practice at Lake Sawyer. There is also a physician’s assistant and nurse practitioner who see patients. “We have some appointments before 10 a.m., but, otherwise we have to send people to urgent care, which we don’t want to do,” Markegard said. “We want to improve our access. We probably have about 11,000 to 12,000 patients in our panel total. So, it’s pretty full.” With a wide variety of patient needs ranging from children and adults who need yearly checkups to those with health issues such as diabetes that require more frequent

“They recognize that there’s a huge need for primary care in this area as the community grows. That’s why they decided to open up a clinic in Maple Valley, even though it’s outside the hospital district. That community is a very desirable care mix.

since 2004, to work at the new clinic. Markegard said a new physician coming out of residency will move into the Lake Sawyer clinic. “(The new facility) meets the demand because even though we have two experienced physicians moving to Maple Valley … we are hiring a new physician who will hopefully build her panel,” Markegard said. “(She) has brand new openings for her panel. There’s going to be room for about 4,000 patients.” Opening the new facility with primary and urgent care services will fill another gap in health care offerings in Maple Valley, Markegard said. “That’s another bonus for the community,” Markegard said. “You no longer have to drive into

Covington for urgent care. It’s better for us and better for patient care to have an urgent care because then we have access to their medical information (electronically).” Markegard noted that she is in the process of hiring doctors for the urgent care side of the clinic, which will be open 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. on weekends. There will be one physician per shift at the urgent care, something she said is important because not all urgent care clinics offer that service in the region. In addition, there will be a digital X-ray machine at the new facility, which allows Markegard or other doctors there to view images in person, or to look at them during phone consultations with a radiologist at the hospital in Renton.

There will also be phlebotomy services at the clinic so that patient blood draws can be done one site. What will truly set the new clinic apart, Markegard said, will be the employees. “It’s important to know that we’re hiring people who live and work in the same community,” Markegard said. “I’m going to see my patients at Fred Meyer on the weekends. It’s going to bring it to that level of community care, to your neighborhood, close to home … with the doctors that could be your neighbors. Our doctors will be excellent communicators, provide fantastic service … I’m hiring the doctors for my friends and my family. It’s going to be a fantastic clinic … because of the people that I’m hiring.”

Obesity is a problem plaguing Americans that can and does result in chronic health conditions. More than 3.4 million deaths occur annually as a result of being overweight or obese. While being obese is a health problem that should be addressed with the help and advice of a doctor, there is good news for obese individuals who are concerned about their health. Obese or overweight people who take steps to successfully lower their blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and blood sugar levels may be able to cut their risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke (the major complications of obesity-related illness) by as much as half. The results of studies seem to indicate that, in part, the risk factor for obesity-related illness is a result of increased blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar. In many communities, increasing access to healthy foods and opportunity for physical activity is a core strategy for reversing increases in Type 2 diabetes and preventing many health problems. One thing you can do that’s relatively easy is to avoid foods that have a high energy density (a lot of calories in a small amount of food). To schedule an appointment, please call Southlake Clinic at (253) 395-1972. Our primary care providers are part of a multispecialty physician network and are also available on Saturdays. Our multi-specialty group has a clinic in Covington at 27005 168th Place SE. 973935

“We will get the money,” she said. “It’s just getting the land use designation.”

ABOUT THE LAND Maple Valley City Manager David Johnston said the Henry’s Switch park property was originally used as a switching station for a pair of intersecting railroads. The city purchased the land in 2001 after King County designated it a surplus property, according to Maple Valley Parks and Recreation Director Greg Brown. A covenant on the property requires that the land be used for public recreation and open space. Since the city’s purchase, Brown recalls the site being considered for repurposing only three times — as small athletic fields, as a parking/drop off place for a rail line and as linkage for Summit Park. While many other ideas are often floated by the public to Brown, he said White’s idea belongs in another category. “If someone brings the resources themselves to do things, that tends to provide

February 7, 2014 [7] more of an opportunity than someone just saying, ‘hey I would like the city to do this,’” Brown said. “My guess is over the next few months it might be an interesting dialogue as to how far this gets moved along.” Brown did not have an opinion on White’s proposal, saying he has not had enough time to look into the specifics. He said the commissioners voiced some interest, but the overall good of Maple Valley must be considered. “There are lots of things and variables to think about,” he said. As part of the Park Commission’s park plan update, which sets policies and goals for the next six years, the public provided feedback for what they would most like to see from the parks. Brown said there was no mention of hopes for any kind of animal sanctuary. White plans to present her idea during the public comment portion of the Feb. 10 [ more WILD page 8 ]

I’ll not attempt to enlighten you to how it is that my youngest daughter, my husband and I all ended up going to this concert with my oldest daughter, but since we did we drove and paid for dinner. I won’t try to explain how we all sat in different seats because we bought tickets at different times. I’m not going to describe how great the show was or how the lady a couple rows in front of us was so irritatingly enthusiastic I watched the show through her head

in the nose bleed section of Everett’s historic theater. I’m not into sports, so I’m certainly not going to tell you I got on the Seahawks’ bandwagon, went to Costco and did the most irresponsible thing I’ve done since the party days of my 20s and spent $100 on Superbowl snacks for the four of us who may or may not all have been home to watch it. I won’t illustrate how in hindsight I realize I didn’t need to buy the snacks at Costco considering it’s only the four of us. I won’t speculate if I got carried away about joining Seahawks mania or buying boxed foods I never buy, but we all know how sinfully delicious they are from trying the samples while shopping

at Costco. I don’t need to point out how we’ll probably be eating those boxed foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner for the next week until they’re gone. I don’t need to expound my philosophy on football, or any sport for that matter, that the last five minutes is the only part of the game worth watching or how I really just want to see all the commercials and the halftime show. I won’t even portray how I envision the scenario if we all actually end up watching the game: sitting around with our laptops waiting for commercials to air, if there is screaming and cheering by the crowd or announcers, we’ll look up and catch it on the replay.

wildlife. Ideally, that would instill a love for nature and the conservation of resources, White said. “Think on the level of the Seattle Science Center with a focus on nature,” White said in her written proposal to the parks commission. White believes the sanctuary will bring tourists and animal-enthusiasts from around the Puget Sound area. She also hopes to build a walking trail around the sanctuary. In 1985, White developed a rehabilitation center in Suisun, Calif., that involved purchasing more than 14 acres of marshland to develop a permanent site.

Using that experience, plus knowing how the methods of operation have changed since then, she estimates the Henry’s Switch project to cost between $2-2.5 million. Johnson said he’s heard only cursory talks about White’s proposal and that it won’t be discussed by the city council until it is brought forward by the parks commission. “We just ask her to be patient,” Johnson said of White.

No, the biggest phenomenon that stands out in my weekend is how my oldest daughter worked two days solid to finish a digital drawing of the band members of Steam Powered Giraffe, then leapt out of bed Saturday at 7 a.m. to rush off to Office Depot with a flash drive to get the picture printed so she could have it signed by the band members at noon. I haven’t seen that much enthusiasm out of her since she was shorter than me. This is a child who has always had to have a better reason to get out of bed than life.

Flower and garden show keeps gloom from blooming Society and garden creators Joe Grienauer and Jeff Morgan have designed a giant painter’s palette showing off a rainbow of hues that feature orchids that naturally flower indoors during the winter months. No wonder the popularity of growing orchids has bloomed during the past decade as new varieties and a much lower prices make this potted houseplant accessible to everyone. “Orchid growing was once the hobby of the very rich‚ but today anyone can pick out an orchid plant even at the supermarket and have success keeping that plant in flower for nine months or more,” said Joe Marianne Binetti

The Compleat Home Gardener

During this first week of February it may still be gray outdoors, but inside, at the Northwest Flower and Garden Show, there is a rainbow of orchids offering tropical delights. This year the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle has acres of blooming display gardens that will jump-start your spring fever with flowers, fragrance and artistic art forms of all types. But if you want to get up close and personal or take some macro-shots of incredible beauty featuring easy-togrow houseplants, don’t miss the walk-through display garden, “Fifty Shades of Orchid.” The Northwest Orchid

Grienauer, co-owner of Emerald City Orchids and a show seminar speaker. If you can’t catch Greinauer’s orchid growing seminar at 11:15 a.m. Sunday, then eavesdrop on the phone conversation I had with Joe about his favorite topic: MB: I know orchids are super easy for you to grow, but what type of orchid would you recommend for a beginning grower or to someone who has had no luck with houseplants? Joe: The phalaenopsis or butterfly orchid is the easiest to grow in our climate and they are really low maintenance plants. Just buy a phalaenopsis orchid plant with buds or just beginning to bloom and place it in filtered light. Water once a week and enjoy. MB: What if you want to

We are a knowledgeable, dependable, caring, and cooperative Team committed to honesty, ethics and forward thinking.

try something more exotic? Joe: I like to suggest the Brassia orchids to those who want really amazing colors like brown, orange or green flowers. This group of orchids are aggressive growers and heavy bloomers — and almost as easy to grow as the phalaenopsis. MB: What are the most common mistakes that beginners make when growing orchids? Joe: They water too much and put the plants in a sunny window. Orchids like filtered sunlight and they grow on the trunks of trees in the wild. They need perfect drainage and little water. MB: So do you recommend the ice cube trick — placing two ice cubes on top of the orchid’s roots? Joe: If portioning out the water supply by using ice

cubes instead of a watering can works for you then use it. Orchids do like cooler night temps especially to get them to rebloom, but the tropical orchids we sell and display have never met an ice cube in their natural habitat — I just set my potted orchids in the sink once a week, water, let them drain in the sink then place the plants back near filtered sunlight. I’ll give them more water in the summer or if they are really growing fast. Don’t let your orchid’s roots sit in drainage water. MB: What type of fertilizer do you use? Joe: Mostly anything I can get my hands on, but I dilute every fertilizer because you can harm an orchid plant by feeding it too much. I put one-eighth or one-quarter of a teaspoon of liquid plant food

into a gallon watering can to fertilize. MB: So growing orchids is your full-time job? Joe: Yes, I love it. I also speak to garden clubs and other groups about orchid growing and encourage people to join the Northwest Orchid Society. The society members are the great group of volunteers (will supply) the rainbow of orchids for our display at the show. Of course I have my retail shop in Georgetown and also supply flower shops and other retailers with cut orchids and orchid plants.

Conquering the pool, one race at a time

KENTWOOD CHEERLEADERS WIN ANOTHER STATE CHAMPIONSHIP The Black squad of the dominate and innovative Kentwood cheerleading team finished first in the 4A/3A/2A non-tumbling coed competition at the state championships Feb. 1. The group compiled a 75.75 score. Kentwood Silver tied for first with Hockinson in the tumbling coed division with a score of 87.75.

Senior Brian Wright left his competition behind during the regular season and has his eyes set on State

Brian Wright does his talking in the pool. The soft-spoken Wright, a senior at Kentwood this year, was undefeated in individual races until the end of the boys swim and dive season, when he finished second to his teammate. It only makes sense that Wright would be a standout and a leader on the team, as he has been immersed in the swimming community his entire life. His parents met swimming for Central Washington University – his dad, Dave, teaches and coaches at Tahoma High, and his mom, Sharon, works and coaches at Kentwood, older sister Erica was a swimmer, too. Swimming lessons at the Kent-Meridian pool, where the Kentwood team practices, is his first memory at a pool. He was three. Wright’s first experience on a swim team came when he was eight for the summer team at Fairwood Golf and Country Club, which is a part of the Midlakes league where Sharon was coaching. “It was just something I

did because it was what my family did, and I loved it,” Wright said. He tried out for a few club teams over the years, but didn’t commit to one until this past year. He swam the long course season for Valley Aquatics’ VAST last spring and summer and continued with the short course season this fall. While following in the family footsteps, Wright has also found his love of water polo. He was 13 and at the Fairwood team banquet when he first heard about the other water sport. Technically, water polo at the high school level is a club sport, as opposed to a school team. When Wright was a freshman, Kentridge High School was the only school with a water polo club. That’s why Wright played with them the fall of his freshman year. From his first experience with the Kentridge group, Wright wanted to recruit enough Kentwood kids to have their own club. His junior year it finally happened. Swimming is mostly an individual sport, with individual performances in

races earning points that go toward the team score in a meet. “It (water polo) offered me a chance to use my skills in swimming in a real team sport,” Wright said of what drew him in to water polo. Currently Wright is gearing up for the West Central District meet this weekend and has his eyes on the state championship meet later this month. The 200 individual medley — which is comprised of 50 yards of butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle — is Wright’s favorite event these days. “I’m pretty even in all my strokes, so that was a pretty good fit for me,” Wright said. Last weekend at the South Puget Sound League meet he finished second in the 200 individual medley and also anchored the school’s 400 freestyle relay, which edged out the relay team from Curtis by onehundredth of a second to win first place. Earlier in the season he was a part of the 200 free relay team that broke the school record in the event and also met the [ more RACE page 14 ]

Tahoma Bears ‘ballers dance to their own tune A Tahoma boys basketball practice almost always includes music blaring from the gym speakers. It’s a hodgepodge of tunes that ranges from 2000-era R&B hits to Katy Perry jams to “Call me, maybe.â€? Coach Brian Davis refers to it as “clean popâ€? and hiphop. The players know it as “weirdâ€? music; “coach’sâ€? music. But the veteran Bears hoopsters don’t bicker about swapping the playlist. They don’t argue. In fact, sometimes they dance. “It’s better than nothing,â€? said senior captain Coleman Wooten. “It bumps up the mood a little bit.â€? Davis knows the clichĂŠd rah-rah rhetoric about seniorladen teams who are successful because they’ve played together for so long. He typically doesn’t buy it. “They’ve all been playing together,â€? he said. But the second-year coach can’t help but gush about his current senior class who have dribbled to a tune like few others in the school’s history. By Davis’ calculations, eight of the nine seniors will have been apart of one of, if not the, winningest two year stretches school history.

The Falcons earned an overall team score of 164.9, with Kentridge in second, tallying 153.45. Kentwood finished third, with a team score of 141.6. Kentlake co-coach Lindsey Duerre said this was the squads highest score of the

Doctors’ Discovery Helps Diabetes PHILADELPHIA – A team of doctors has found that a formulation of exotic sounding herbs and spices gives diabetics new hope. The formula, called Cinnatrol™ promotes healthy blood sugar levels by effectively metabolizing glucose into energy. In a research study, all patients taking just one capful of the liquid (one ounce) daily, dramatically lowered their blood sugar levels compared to a placebo group. Another scientific study found that an ingredient in Cinnatrol™ made insulin 20 times more capable converting blood sugar to energy. While individual results vary, one patient in the study lowered his blood sugar from 220-245 to the 100-130 range in only

The relay team of seniors Logan Stoick, Dane Turnbull, Kevin Molloy and Brian Wright finished in a State qualifying time of 3 minutes, 24.26 seconds, edging out Curtis’ time of 3:24.27. Overall Kentwood brought back a fourth place finish from the meet. The top three team spots were claimed by Curtis, Ken-

team, the everyday as well as the points he scores at meets. “He’s a leader by example,â€? Sharon said. “He’s a pretty quiet leader ‌ He’s a leader who will get in the water and take care of business.â€? For the younger Wright swimming is about doing

what he loves and seeing growth in himself and in the team. “I like winning and improving,� Wright said. “How Kentwood has improved over four years keeps me motivated. I love to see my teammates get better and better.�

To say the music business is in Tess Henleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood would be an understatement. Her mother sang in a soul band and her brother is a singer-songwriter. Her sister helps manage her music business and her father looks for other ways to monetize her music. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Music was always around the house,â&#x20AC;? said Henley while relaxing in her family home, a secluded house in the KentCovington area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a natural progression that we started learning how to play more pop contemporary music and the music that we wanted to actually play instead of classical.â&#x20AC;? Henley won $35,000 in a pair of music competitions and now the young singersongwriter has her eyes set on a third: the Guitar Center Singer-Songwriter Competition with a hefty reward of $25,000 and will get to record a four song extended play among the perks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a blessing for someone like me as an independent artist for opportunities like this,â&#x20AC;? said Henley,

for a person who would rather spend her downtime with her family or at home, she recalls the experience as extremely stressful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In that type of a situation minute by minute it could change,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could be OK one minute, and the next Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking about something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stressing me out and then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to calm myself down the next minute.â&#x20AC;? While Henley credits much of her success to her familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt the budding artist has taken inspiration from her musical idols both in her musical style and personal conduct. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the humble attitude of James Taylor or the honest songwriting of Adele, Henley incorporated what sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learned from these icons into her both her performing and writing. Henley said if she had to choose a style, she would go with performing, although her initial reaction is writing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being able to share your music with people and feed off of that energy,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really know what to expect. It just makes for great memories and experiencesâ&#x20AC;?

whose brother competed in the contest last year. The 26-year-old Kentlake High graduate knows firsthand how expensive the music industry can be â&#x20AC;&#x201D; she sunk almost $60,000 into the production of her second album. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really lifesavers to me,â&#x20AC;? Henley said of contest winnings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because everything just costs so much in the music industry as an independent artist.â&#x20AC;? Her inspiration comes largely from personal experience. Henleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first album centered on memories of her first relationship which she developed in high school, while her second focused on her college life. But she always tries to make sure that â&#x20AC;&#x201D; while personal in content â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the themes relate to a wide audience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really strive to write music that lasts, and music that will test of time, that will still be relevant in 20 years.â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I try to write music that is emotionally moving in one way or another. I try to write songs that people can relate to, because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen the impact music has had on me.â&#x20AC;? Henley learned piano

made her own luck when she connected with a high profile producer and coordinated with him to get in touch with Motown producer Dice Raw in 2011. They immediately set her up to fly to Philadelphia and record demo tracks. By mid 2012, she was recording her second album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;High Heels and Sneakers,â&#x20AC;? in Philadelphia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was supposed to be out there for a month, and things always take longer, and I probably flew out at least 10 times,â&#x20AC;? she said. The sophomore albumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s release expanded her name and brand, and provided a jump start to her career. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spent much of her time traveling to Southern California and Philadelphia to perform and get her name out. Just before Thanksgiving she performed at the Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles and later sang the national anthem when the Seattle Seahawks hosted the St. Louis in the final regular season game in December. It was the second time Henley performed at CenturyLink Field â&#x20AC;&#x201D; she sang the anthem with her brother a year prior â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but
