City Council asks mayor to step down over allegations

BY ERIC MANDEL AND DENNIS BOX emandel@maplevalleyreporter.com dbox@maplevalleyreporter

After weeks of rumors and speculation, members of the Maple Valley City Council asked Mayor Bill Allison to step down over allegations of improper communication with at least one juvenile female during his role as a driving instructor.

Councilwoman Victoria Laise Jonas broached the “800 pound gorilla in the room” at the end of the City Council’s retreat on

Saturday.

Four of the seven council members asked Allison to resign temporarily until the investigation is completed and a charging decision is released by the King County Prosecutor’s Office.

A King County Sheriff ’s Office detective investigated the allegation and the report was sent to the prosecutor’s office.

The City Council could force Allison out of the mayoral position with five votes.

Urquhart acknowledged that nothing official has been decided.

“To say the case is closed is a little premature,” he said. “Technically it is not closed yet.” [ more MAYOR page 9 ]

Covington staff continues to refine pool plans

BY KATHERINE SMITH ksmith@maplevalleyreporter.com

The city of Covington is bringing in a second architect to refine renovation plans for Covington Aquatic Center.

After bids to repair the roof of the pool building came in much higher than anticipated the City Council opted to reject them and go out for a new round of

bids.

The city received a $400,000 grant from the state for renovations during the 2012 legislative session. Covington Parks and Recreation Director Scott Thomas said that at the time city staff hadn’t expected the grant to be funded.

The main projects on the city’s wish list include fixing the roof, adding on a new rental room that can be

to Thomas.

Thomas added that the city’s estimates were low for the cost of the roof.

“Our expectations were lower then what the market says,” Thomas said.

Another factor contributing to the higher than expected bids, Thomas said, is the continual improvement of the economy.

The focus going forward will be to make the project fit within the budget and the roof repair remains the top project priority.

Another project high on the list is building the rental room.

“We really want to make that work,” Thomas said.

For a number of years the pool has used a former

The list of projects was refined late in 2012 and in 2013 the project went out to bid. Thomas said the bids went out late in the construction season, and in total came back about $100,000 over the $400,000 budget.

The city wants to resurface, not replace the roof on the building, putting a new layer over the existing layer, Thomas explained.

“This is going to be a cost effective roof,” Thomas said.

“We want to take good care of this facility we have.”

That new layer is expected to last 15 years according

storage room as a party rental room, but, Thomas said, the room is small and was never meant to be used as a public space.

Some of the projects that could go by the wayside for now could include resurfacing the plaza, picnic tables for the plaza, upgraded lighting on the plaza, and using a different kind of siding on the building then had originally been planned.

“By tweaking the design we can have a cost effective budget,” Thomas said.

One option that the City Council could consider would be to seek additional grant funds to add to the project budget.

The city has operated the

pool since 2005. Another major renovation project that the city completed previously included upgrading the heating and air conditioning system in 2008.

More recently, the facility was closed for two weeks at the beginning of March to drain and resurface the pool as well as some smaller projects like replacing burnt out lightbulbs over the pool and in the underwater lights, as well as new ADA access chairs.

BY KATHERINE SMITH

ksmith@maplevalleyreporter.com

In the band room at Tahoma High School the drums and chairs get pushed aside after the afternoon bell rings and the room becomes a stage.

Tahoma High drama students go over and over their lines, practicing their blocking — that is, how and when they move around the stage — and the von Trapp children crowd around Uncle Max, playing and putting off singing because they miss Maria.

If they aren’t “on stage” then they are working on their lines, working on homework, or just chit chatting about the show — or the pizza that a student had delivered to rehearsal.

Opening night of the school’s production of “The Sound of Music” is fast approaching with the first show on May 2.

Director Melissa Corby said she selected the classic musical because she knew she had the talent in her students.

“I chose it primarily because this year we have a strong group of females,” Corby said.

She also cited the show’s family friendly story and the opportunity to get younger students from other Tahoma schools involved.

At this point the cast is focused on learning their lines and their dances. This week was the deadline for line memorization, and after that every missed line will cost an actor a fivesecond wall sit.

Senior Tavares DeLeon has been a part of Tahoma’s last two productions, “Les Miserables” and “Into the Woods”, keeps trying out because of the good experiences he’s had.

“I just really like musicals,” DeLeon said. “I think it adds a little something.”

His favorite part about “The Sound of Music” is the positive message.

“I like that it’s about one person changing the entire family’s lives,” he said.

Rehearsals at this point include lots of stopping and starting as well as repetition. Overall the show includes 35 actors and will also include another 20 crew members plus the pit orchestra.

“Sorry, today’s my picky day,” Corby told the stu-

dents as she stopped them and adjusted some of the blocking for a scene.

But with all that starting and stopping and repetition comes confidence. Each time students run through a scene there is less hesitation as they adjust to their characters and where they are supposed to be in relation to each other.

Preparations for musicals are a flurry of activity from auditions through the final curtain. There’s rehearsals and costume fittings, set building, practicing for the first time with microphones and lighting — not to mention dress rehearsals and adding the live music. The little details will continue to be refined right up until opening night.

“I love working with the younger kids,” said senior Katie Duffy, who plays the role of Maria. “They’re really, really fun.”

On the other side of Covington, in the performing arts center at Kentlake High School, fairytale characters are celebrating their individuality and “letting their freak flag fly,” as students rehears for “Shrek: the musical.”

The line from the show,

“what makes you special makes you strong,” has become their motto.

“What makes you strong?” Director Pam Cressey asked the cast.

Responses called from the stage included “dedicated,” “we like each other,” “fun,” and “being in character.”

“I hope you feel as frantic as I do,” Cressey told the cast at a rehearsal this week. They have essentially three weeks before spring break in which to make any changes and get everything running smoothly before they start doing performances for elementary and middle school students.

Rehearsal this week took place while the set was also being constructed on stage, the hum of electric drills adding the soundtrack to Shrek, Fiona and the Donkey’s trek through the swamp, headed for what Fiona thinks will be her true love.

Getting the blocking down pat is one area of focus for the production.

“The stage is always like a teeter-totter,” Cressey told the cast. “It always has to have somebody balancing it. Everything must have a

purpose.”

Senior Devin Bouee, who plays the part of Shrek, has been involved with drama at Kentlake throughout his high school experience and said he likes the show for its sense of humor.

“It’s a kids show but it has a serious framework,” Bouee said. “You can almost do whatever you want. Almost.”

Senior Seth Wiswell, who plays the Donkey, has been in several other productions and is in his first leading role.

“This show has been a learning experience for me, taking a lead,” Wiswell said.

The main differences, Wiswell said, are having to learn more lines and having a lot more details to pay attention to.

Cressey said it is going to be a crazy sprint to the finish for the cast and crew but she has faith it will come together..

“They have been so immersed in this Disney stuff, they know what they’re doing,” Cressey said.

Disaster prep is a big challenge Is the Puget Sound region – home to more than 4.5 million people – adequately prepared for a disaster?

That’s a tough one to answer comprehensively, many emergency preparedness experts admit.

While the “big one” may be tricky to predict, experts know for certain that the region is prone to natural disasters.

And that for the Seattle area, fractured as it is with fault lines, earthquakes top the list.

Overlooking the valley, mighty Mount Rainier has been dormant since its last eruption around 1100 AD. But its activity – combined with its proximity to Seattle and Tacoma – makes any eruption there one of the most dangerous in the world, according to the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth’s Interior’s Decade Volcano list.

Such potential events concern Dr. Stephen Flynn of Northeastern University, a professor and one of the world’s experts on disaster resilience. Dealing with disaster is sort of his business, a source of his intense study.

Flynn recently visited Seattle to talk with local leaders about the region’s readiness for a catastrophic event. Flynn, now leading a major study in the aftermath of SuperStorm Sandy that will be presented to Congress and the Obama administration, is soliciting responses to his study from leaders throughout the country.

Upon his review, Flynn says, Puget Sound area leaders are paying attention to the warning signs, but concludes the region, and notably its residents, are no more fully prepared to deal with a Mark Klaas Staff editor

Most of you are familiar with Edward Snowden, the government employee who stole thousands of secret files from the National Security Agency and then fled, eventually ending up in temporary refuge in Russia. The secret data collecting the government has been carrying out appalled many Americans.

What you may not be as aware of is there are thousands of private data collecting companies that are far more invasive of your privacy than the government. According to Steve Kroft on a recent 60 Minutes segment called “The Data Brokers: Selling Your Personal Information,” thousands of companies are gathering data on every website you visit. If you use a Smartphone, they know where you are every minute of the day.

(Visit 60 Minutes to see the segment.)

These data brokers sell the information to other businesses, to advertisers and even to the government. Your religion, ethnicity, family medical history and medications, and addictions like alcoholism are included. It’s legal and it’s very difficult to opt out of this practice.

disaster than are other parts of the country. Outside of emergency management professionals, too few of us spend any time considering how prepared our communities are, Flynn noted.

“Your emergency management community is about as on top of it as anywhere in our country in terms of understanding the kinds of risk and working to prepare for those risk,” Flynn said. “(But) your area, like much of the country, is not where it needs to be.

“Increasingly, as citizens, we expect the professionals to take care of this. … When something goes wrong, we pay for emergency managers … fire and police … they’re supposed to fix this stuff,” Flynn said.

“The reality is … it certainly came through from the Katrina and Sandy experiences … that the first-responders are almost always your

family, your neighbor or the stranger near you.

There’s not enough professionals around,” Flynn said.

Flynn said he believes the lessons learned from SuperStorm Sandy and Hurricane Katrina can help our region better prepare for such an event.

But it remains a challenge.

While cities, such as Kent and Auburn, are equipped to mobilize in the event of a more isolated flood or mudslide, the region as a whole needs to better prepare for a widespread disaster.

Flynn hopes the country, region by region, broadens its commitment to become better prepared for these events, both in terms of negating the risks and recovering quickly from a crisis.

It’s not a matter of “if ” disaster strikes but [ more DISASTER page 5 ]

Three of the biggest of these data brokers are Acxiom, Epsilon and Experian. All of these brokers operate under the radar of most people and that’s the way these companies prefer it. Epsilon’s chief executive officer stated on the 60 Minutes segment that the industry does not need to be regulated because it can regulate itself. If these data brokers are regulated, “It could cripple the economy.”

That’s what bankers said about credit default swaps before their lack of self-control and greed helped to bring on the 2008 economic crash.

For retailers, selling personal information has become a secondary source of income, almost equaling what they make in selling their products and services, or even more. There’s a big incentive to increase profits by selling their customers’ data.

If you own a Smartphone and have downloaded the app called “Angry Birds” (more than a billion people got it) or “The Brightest Flashlight Free” (50 million downloaded the app), it was found that a tracking device had been added to your phone without your knowledge. If your teen used Path Inc., a social media site, it was found that a worm within the site downloaded his/her contact list and sent it on to one of these data brokers.

When you visit a website there is a whole crowd of data brokers watching you and following where you go. When you take a survey online, often the information is gathered and put into your profile to gather more information about you.

If you use dating sites, even if your name is

protected, your IP (Internet provider) address is not, so the data brokers can easily find out who you are. All the information you fill out on one of those sites goes into your dossier collected by these businesses and is sold to others. If you apply for a job, this information is accessible to a potential employer.

After re-watching the 60 Minutes segment noted above, I was sent to 60 Minutes Overtime to find out how to protect myself from these data brokers. On the Overtime video, producers of the 60 Minutes segment I watched shared ways to stop these companies from gathering information on you without your knowledge, but it’s difficult and time consuming.

One suggestion was to go to the website called “Disconnect” that can show you all the data brokers who are hovering over every site you visit. Another was to use the search engine called “Duck Duck Go” that does not keep a record of your searches, like Google does. Google and Facebook, by the way, do not sell your information to anyone else.

They keep it all to themselves – all your data.

Many people were upset about Snowden’s revelations of government spying on Americans, but most people don’t understand there are many businesses that are far more invasive than the government. Thousands of data brokers have created profiles on each of us based on all the Internet websites we visit.

What’s missing is our choice about what’s in these profiles. What’s missing is our choice of whether or not to participate in this practice.

“It will happen. We will have a major disaster in the Puget Sound area. It is almost certainly going to be a major earthquake,” he said. “I state that out front because to the larger extent … every part of our country has gone through a disaster.

“We wait until they happen, and we cope well when they happen. … But

what we know is they are less frequent than we often presume them to be, and there’s a lot more we know about them now and what we can do about them in terms of reducing their impact.”

Regions need to better prepared for a disaster, considering the geographical dependency on infrastructure, the power grid, water, communication and extended transportation, Flynn cautioned.

The Seattle region is a global leader in technology and advanced manufacturing, as well as a major military hub that depends on the reliable operation of critical infrastructures in the energy, transportation, communications and IT sectors. A major disaster has the potential to endanger millions of lives and cause major disruptions to our communities and businesses, as well as undermine the capacity for the

ULCERATIVE COLITIS Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory disease of the bowel that can cause long-term inflammation in the digestive tract. Ulcerative colitis can become debilitating, and it can occasionally lead to complications that can be lifethreatening. Fortunately, ulcerative colitis develops over time rather than all of a sudden. This makes it a chronic condition. Usually ulcerative colitis only affects the innermost lining of the colon, or large intestine, and the rectum. It usually will affect a stretch of colon unlike other digestive tract conditions, such as Crohn’s Disease, which can strike anywhere and can burrow deep into the tissues.

There is no cure for ulcerative colitis at this point, but there are therapies that can help bring on remission. See your health care provider if you experience abdominal pain, blood in the stool, diarrhea, and fever.

Both medications and surgery have been used to treat ulcerative colitis. Surgery is often reserved for those with severe inflammation and life-threatening complications.

Inflammation is a complex biological process in which the body’s immune cells and other chemical mediators provide protection from injury, infection and foreign substances, such as chemicals or additives in our food. It is a protective process by the body to remove harmful substances and to initiate healing. Inflammation is a normal, necessary and regenerative process until it becomes chronic.

Chronic inflammation can be dangerous and destructive and should be closely monitored.

Inflammation can be present in numerous disease states and conditions.

Some of the main signs and symptoms that are associated with inflammation include: weight gain or inability to lose weight, body aches and pains, allergies or asthma, high blood pressure, diabetes, digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome or Crohn’s disease, arthritis, chronic fatigue, and skin problems such as acne or eczema.

More recently, the American Heart Association has identified chronic inflammation as the single most common factor in heart attacks.

Many different factors can trigger inflammation: (1) poor diet which includes over-eating and the consumption of nonorganic, pesticide ridden

Move left for emergency vehicles The Washington State Patrol is reminding drivers that state law requires them to slow down, and move left if safe, when passing emergency vehicles stopped beside the roadway.

Emergency vehicles include police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, tow trucks and highway maintenance vehicles with emergency lights activated, according to a State Patrol media release.

foods and artificial ingredients; (2) environmental factors which include pollution and chemicals in our self-care products; (3) food allergens such as soy, wheat (gluten), milk, fish, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts and eggs; (4) poor lifestyle habits such as being sedentary, drug and alcohol use, or smoking; and (5) stress from our daily work load and responsibilities.

For those looking to make meaningful progress toward reducing their risk of chronic inflammation, a diet rich in whole foods that have been subjected to little or no processing is most recommended.

Choose farm products such as fruits, vegetables, eggs, and meats that have been

grown as closely to their natural growth process as possible. This would include products free of pesticides, fertilizers, fillers (such as corn), and steroids.

Exercise has also shown to be one of our best aids in reducing inflammation.

20-30 minutes of moderate cardiovascular work per day combined with a healthier diet will put anyone on the right track to a healthier future.

The law went into effect in 2011, after a series of incidents involving not only police cars, but other emergency vehicles and the death of a tow truck driver.

“This law couldn’t be easier to comply with,” said State Patrol Chief John R. Batiste. “All you have to do is ease off the gas and, if it’s safe, ease to the left.”

Batiste added a caution, however, about sudden maneuvers intended to comply with the law. He stressed that simply slowing down and easing left is sufficient.

“We don’t want people making sudden maneuvers that could be even more dangerous,” he said.

Keep an eye on your children by interacting with them online

Callie Byrd, M.D.

the hours spent flipping through an encyclopedia for school projects. Today I am going to focus on what you as parents need to know about your children and social media.

Get to know what your children do online and become familiar with the websites and social media venues that they frequent. Sometimes it even helps to make a profile for yourself so you can interact with your children online and oversee what they are doing.

COMMENTARY

I still remember the first time I went online via dial up. To think, now the internet is at our fingertips and there is no getting around it. Oh how the times have changed. I admit that I am not the most internet savvy person. I don’t tweet or subscribe to any blogs, but I realize that as a pediatrician I need to be aware of the internet and social media to relate to my patients.

Kids are using the internet for everything these days. Long gone are

Community News and Notes ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS GET GRANTS Martin Sortun and Jenkins Creek elementary schools were among 46 schools to receive community grants.

The credit union BECU issued more than $100,000 in grants total, including $2,500 to the two area schools.

Jenkins Creek’s money will be used for build two traveling fluency library media carts. Each cart will contain books, audio cd’s and cd players, and will travel between classrooms to help enhance the new English language arts Common Core standard.

Martin Sortun’s funding will be used to expand weekly science, technology, engineering and math programming by increasing iPad kit, as well as through engaging students using 3-D printing.

BECU school grants are given out each year to help fund

educational materials, programs and events, environmental learning trips and technology tools, such as calculators, microscopes and electronic dictionaries. Grants are awarded in three categories: Financial Literacy, Environmental Sustainability and Technology Tools. The maximum grant funding is $2,500.

BECU received approximately 95 applications.

ORCHESTRA TO HOLD BREAKFAST BY THE LAKE The Maple Valley Youth Symphony Orchestra will be hosting a breakfast by the lake at 9 a.m. on March 29 in Lake Wilderness Lodge.

Make sure that you talk with your children about the internet. Bring it up daily at the dinner table and make it a part of your routine to ask what’s going on in their virtual lives. It may help, especially for younger children, to keep the computer in a central place in your house so that you can keep track of how much time they are devoting to the internet and keep an eye on the websites they access. Make sure that your children understand that you will be watching their online activity — it may even be beneficial to subscribe to a monitoring

program. In fact, many internet providers have parental controls that you can activate.

It is also important to limit the time your children spend online in front of a computer or watching TV to no more than two hours each day. Encourage them to do something active every day instead of sitting idle with their technology.

Some other tips to share with your children include: • Only post what you are okay with everyone seeing.

Privacy is a myth in the social media world.

• Be sure to discuss password safety and make

sure your children know not to share their personal information, especially because people online are not always who they say they are.

• Discourage your children from online gossip and bullying. This is a huge problem and can lead to depression and even suicide in the involved parties.

If you and your family are educated about appropriate online use and have set boundaries of when your children can be online and what websites they can visit, then the internet can be a very useful and safe tool.

the aviation industry, but grew tired of job insecurity and opened Lady Buds in August of 2012. At the time, Black Diamond had no marijuana moratoriums in place.

This is where the conflicting stories begin.

In April 2012, Bauer and Rand submitted a business application to open a “collective garden business engaged in counseling services, care-giving services, outpatient healthcare services and distribution of herbal remedies.”

The city responded with a letter stating that collective gardens and dispensing medical marijuana is not lawful business activity for the city since it violates federal law.

The pair reapplied one month later with the business now described as “holistic therapies and retail sales,” with a hand written addition of “massage, teas and herbs.” After speaking with Lady Buds’ attorney and the prospective landlord, the city approved.

Although marijuana is not specifically mentioned on either application, Bauer said she was under the impression that it was a “don’t ask, don’t tell” kind of situation.

“We used collective garden because we weren’t trying to hide anything,” she said. “We relied on our attorney. We knew they didn’t have a moratorium.

We did literally what they asked us to do.”

Lady Buds runs a “management company,” where no marijuana is ever actually grown or sold, but it is often stored. The company

has up to 10 patients in their membership group at any give time. Bauer says the company facilitates an exchange between sick patients and individual growers. The patients can then “contribute” the suggested donation level for the grower and Lady Buds.

In other words, Lady Buds connects patients with growers in a safe environment.

“We want to be totally forthcoming with who we are and what we do,” Bauer said.

The city approved the business license in the fall of 2012 and renewed it for 2013. There were no known complaints about Lady Buds, but in September the city asked the organization to surrender its business license by Oct. 14 of 2013.

In February, the city sent a letter revoking their license and denying their application for 2014, claiming that Lady Bud’s “misrepresented” what it would be doing on its business application.

The couple and their attorney Jay Berneburg appealed the denial, saying no unlawful drug activity has occurred on the premises and that they did not get their license by fraud or false representation. They claim that the city was always aware that marijuana was on site. Former and current city staff and council members disagree.

“We always suspected, but we didn’t ever go in and look for it or anything,” said former mayor Rebecca Olness. “We were told by other people.”

DISCRIMINATION CLAIMS Both Bauer and Rand say they’ve never directly been discriminated against in the city, but the allegations of homophobia by former Black Diamond Police Officer Scott Oak in 2013 caused them to wonder. Bauer said she thinks there is “a very good chance� that homophobia played a role in the city’s decision against Lady Buds, which is why she made the following

Todd said she’d never met the business owners before the March 6 meeting. “I don’t know why they believe that to be true,� she said. “I was surprised.�

Hoppen also said he was surprised when told over the phone of the homophobia allegation. “I had no idea (of their sexual orientation),� he said. “That’s news to me. I can’t imagine why anyone would even look to that.�

Berneburg said there

appears to be a compelling argument of potential homophobia within the city’s administration, he just doesn’t know how far it reaches. “We don’t have any smoking gun memos,� he said. “But where there is smoke there’s fire and there’s certainly smoke here.�

An uptick in trespassing and illegal activity on the right-of-way below a Bonneville Power Administration highvoltage power line in Covington has led to BPA installing a fence and additional “No Trespassing� signs to protect the area from further damage.

BPA is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.

Repeated incidents occurred on a BPA right-of-way near Southeast 164th Place and 168th Avenue Southeast in

Covington. Trespassers have cut down trees, built fires and used all-terrain vehicles on the property. These activities jeopardize the safety of trespassers, BPA personnel and power customers in the area. “These trespassers are endangering their lives and the safety of our employees,� said Kevin West, BPA physical security specialist in a press release. “The culprits are not only damaging the electrical infrastructure that keeps our lights on, but they’re also forcing electric ratepayers to cover the costs of this kind of senseless damage and activity.�

Anyone having information is asked to call BPA’s confidential and toll-free Crime Witness hotline at 800-437-2744.

If you see activity such as those mentioned above, residents and others are encouraged to call 911 to help local law enforcement catch perpetrators in the act.

church website archives, Allison joined the staff in 2001.

Allison told The Reporter that he and the church separated ways 10 years ago, but said the reasons were between he and New Community Church Pastor Ken Mitchell. Allison said he and the church have “a mutual respect for each other and love for each other. Our relationship is fantastic.�

Mitchell declined to comment on the matter.

Johnson told The Reporter that she was aware of an unceremonious ending to Allison’s relationship with the church when he was originally elected to the council, but didn’t know specifics. “I couldn’t imagine anyone running for political office with something in their background that they weren’t able to stand up and tell everyone about,� she said.

Jonas said she understood why Allison would not care to discuss the matter. “I understand that because he is being investigated he needs to be cautious on what he says,� Jonas said.

Allison was the city’s youngest mayor and has been a member of the Maple Valley community since 1999. He was elected to the City Council in 2010 before being selected by the council to replace Gerken as mayor in January 2012. The council tabbed him for a second term in January of 2014, with the term ending December 2017.

Sgt. Cindi West, communications officer with the King County Sheriff ’s Department, said cases involving individuals with positions of power, unfortunately, come up fairly frequently. The key, she said, is to look at the “totality of the circumstance� when interviewing suspects and to never discount a victim because of his or her age.

Barnes said that no matter the outcome, community perception is very damaging. “Even if fully cleared there will be some people who always believe otherwise,� Barnes said.

264th

Although the police report and specifics of the allegations remain closed to the public, those close to the matter indicated that it involved inappropriate conduct involving at least one juvenile female at the I-5 Driving School, which Allison co-founded in September of 2011. The driving school has offices in Maple Valley and Auburn. He remains an active instructor at the school.

Allison denied making any inappropriate comments to students when asked by The Reporter.

In light of the allegations, Allison said the I-5 business has installed cameras in the cars and is inviting parents to join their kids during driving lessons. “We have installed cameras in the cars to protect all employees and students in the community,� he said.

When contacted by The Reporter, council members agreed that more facts were needed before any conclusions could be made, but the rumors and uncertainty cast a shadow on the city.

Councilwoman Linda Johnson said she wished Allison would have stepped down when the investigation started.

Now, she said, the council is in the uncomfortable position of potentially forcing his hand. “I don’t think anybody wants to see that happen,�

Johnson said. “But by the same token, as electeds we have a responsibility to protect the city. If that’s what we need to do, that’s a decision that’s got to be made collectively.�

Jonas said elected officials are held to higher standards of professional ethics and was disappointed that news of the investigation came from community members rather than Allison. “It is troubling; we strive to be an open and transparent government,� Jonas said, who added that she would have preferred the sensitive conversation be held in executive session, but that it was illegal to do so.

“I am hoping these allegations are unfounded and the case is closed so we can move on as a community,� Jonas said.

Councilman Layne Barnes said he would not vote to remove Allison from his post based on current information. “I have to presume innocence until facts prove otherwise,� he said. “It’s very difficult, when you have a lack of facts, to make good decisions.�

Councilman Noel Gerken was among the group who asked Allison to step down during the retreat, but declined to comment on how he would handle the controversy moving forward. “It’s very sensitive issue so we’ve got to be aware of that and consider privacy and personal issues,� he said.

Councilwoman Erin Weaver, who did not ask Allison to step down, called the discussion “unproductive� because it “devolved into a personal attack rather than actual fact finding.� “Council members were operating in a vacuum without any accurate information, only gossip and hearsay,� Weaver said.

Deputy Mayor Sean Kelly, who referred to Allison as his “role model� at the retreat, said the controversy has caused him to lose sleep and debate whether to stay in politics. He called the issue a distraction that needed to be discussed for the good of the council, Allison and community. “We are not trying to be mean or vindictive to Bill,� Kelly said. “We are trying to figure out what is going on and do what is best for the city and Bill. This is probably the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. He’s my mentor.�

This is not the first controversial situation of its kind involving Allison.

Johnson confronted Allison at the retreat about allegations of inappropriate behavior with a minor from the early 2000s when Allison worked as a youth minister at New Community Church in Maple Valley. According to the

The real root of the problem for most rose plants is not digging a big enough planting hole. When you are placing a new rose in the same spot that an old rose had been growing you also need to replace the soil in that area to prevent “rose replant� disease. Dig a hole at least two feet wide by two feet deep and use soil from a different part of the garden to fill in around the new rose plant. Soak bare root roses overnight before planting and if there is a cardboard box around the roots remove this – despite what it says on the planting instructions. New rose varieties are more disease

SPORTS

Prep soccer kicks off with fresh…

BY ERIC MANDEL

emandel@covingtonreporter.com

BASEBALL SCORES March 14 Kentlake 1 at AMV 9 March 15 Tahoma 7 at Edmonds-Woodway 6 Shorecrest 3 at Tahoma 8

For a pair of new faces, Kentlake’s coaches are awfully recognizable in the soccer community.

The Falcons bolstered their sideline pedigree for 2014 by adding two former professional soccer players to the staff. Head coach Chris Scotti, originally from Federal Way, played at Oregon State before advancing to the professional indoor soccer stage for 10 years between 1993-2002, finishing as the 9th All-time leading scorer in the World Indoor Soccer League. One of his assistants, Othaniel Yanez, was drafted by the MLS’s Columbus Crew in the fourth round in 2010 after starring for the University of Louisville.

Scotti sees his and Yanez’s professional experience as an advantage — being able to demonstrate nuances of the game, such as how to properly protect corner kicks, break down the final third during offensive attacks and understand the different speeds on grass compared to turf.

“We get in and play; showcase technique,” Scotti said. “I think that’s a little extra, more than the typical head coach can do.”

The Falcons are looking up from near the bottom of last year’s 4A South Puget

Sound League North Division standings at perennial contender Thomas Jefferson, which went undefeated and won state in 2013.

Kentwood, which finished third in 2013, and Tahoma, which finished fifth, are hoping to contend for state positions.

“I hope we are in that mix somewhere,” said Tahoma head coach Jason Johnson.

TAHOMA Goals and expectations: The Bears crawled into the playoffs as a fifth seed and advanced to regionals in 2013, but failed to make state for the first time in three years. Despite a youthful cast, Johnson expects a return to state thanks in part to an even stronger freshman class than he anticipated.

“We’ve gotten younger, but I think we’ve actually gotten a little stronger in some spots,” he said. “…We have higher expectations than we had last year.”

Biggest challenge Relying on youth also means new experiences in the ever-demanding SPSL schedule. Johnson knows his less experienced players will be strained at times to keep up with the top-quality competition.

“They’re going to have to get over that pretty quickly,” he said.

Kentlake soccer players practice free kicks Monday in preparation for the South Puget Sound League 4A season. ERIC MANDEL, The Reporter Featured returners: Chris Darcy — Junior, midfield — Team captain with great field vision and effort.

Sean Owens — Senior, midfield — 2nd-team allleague player in 2013, who led the team in goals.

Edgar Sepulveda — Senior, midfield — Versatile athlete who with strong “ball winning ability.”

Newcomers: Charlie Wilcox — Freshman, defense — Speedy player with the positive mental approach to the game.

Alex Bailey — Freshman, defense — Gifted athlete with the calm demeanor of a veteran.

KENTLAKE Goals and expectations: A new coaching staff and young group, Scotti doesn’t plan to make too high of goals. Scotti sees a lot of potential on his own squad, as well as the Puget Sound area as a whole. His initial hopes are to reach the playoffs, but he’s leaving room for more.

“We could be on top of the league and then you want to win the league,” he said. “I think we will be battling each and every game.”

Biggest challenge: With only three seniors on the varsity squad, Scotti is looking at a young nucleus of freshman and sophomores. One of his biggest concerns is depth, with only 17 players on varsity and around 15 on JV. “I know how things happen during the season and that will probably be a concern,” he said. “Were going to have to be pretty resilient and injury free.”

Mom doesn’t have the corner on household tasks capable.

For some reason it seems to be a job they have filed in the “do not touch mom’s personal property” file; as if I’d be insulted if they started the dishwasher without me.

When it comes to taking initiative on household tasks, I think members of my family are worried I’ll expect them to perform it every time it needs to be done — like I’ll stand in the kitchen, look at the dishwasher full of dirty dishes and think, “The younger generation just did this yesterday, I think I’ll call them in to do it again and forever after.”

Although I think the Gretchen Leigh

Living with Gleigh

Contrary to popular belief, I do not have the market cornered on putting soap in the dishwasher, closing the door and pushing the wash button.

My question to my family would simply be “Why?” Why eat cereal in a large, square, plastic, food storage receptacle rather than wash a cereal bowl? Why would you not see that the dishes are dirty, the dishwasher full and just start the dishwasher? You will eventually crave another bowl of cereal?

I’ve seen them perform this simple task before; sure maybe after I’ve told them to do it, but they are

dishwasher should be a nobrainer, I understand their reluctance to commit themselves to this common-use area (not really, I’m just being facetious).

But what about things that are totally their responsibility? It seems I should be able to assume they’ll pick up messes that they have created.

My youngest is making a costume for Comicon. Every evening, she goes into my bathroom to iron (the ironing board is hanging on the door) and although she unplugs the iron and pushes up the ironing board, she leaves everything else lying on the counter.

If I tell her to pick it up before she leaves the room, she’ll tell me, “The iron was hot” or “I’m coming back.”

I understand what she’s try-

ing to tell me, but it really can be put away hot: it’s not plugged in, it’s not going to combust the metal hook or the wall it’s hanging on.

Besides, it only takes about 5 minutes to cool and it seems if I leave it all, she never comes back.

So when I go in to use the bathroom, I have to wind the cord up on the iron, hang it on its hook, pick up the towel and place it on the washer. It’s not like she has to take that towel across the house, the washing machine resides in the laundry hall pretty much right behind the ironing board. When I go back in there a couple hours later, I must repeat all the above actions once again.

Starting the dishwasher and picking up aren’t the only things I apparently

to state.

“We hope that the experience will pay off, knowing that we have a very competitive league and district to battle,” Radford said.

Biggest challenge: Kentwood lost three varsity veterans from the 2013 squad, leaving big holes to fill.

“Getting new players into those roles will be challenging and getting the team to play together, with the guys we do have, is always a challenge,” Radford said.

Featured returners: • Garret Rudolph — Senior, defense/midfield — Fourth year on the varsity squad.

• Aidan Gray — Junior, midfielder— Provided strong

run a cartel on: I find address labels and important papers sitting on top of the shredder.

Am I the only one capable of shredding? I remember the days when I would entertain my daughters by letting them shred stuff.

I also have a monopoly on cooking, washing sheets, grocery shopping (except for ice cream and junk cereal), lawn mowing, appointment making, paying bills, throwing parties, letting the dog in, letting the dog out, and feeding the dog.

I have taught my family how to do these tasks, but for some reason they deem these my domain. Every once in awhile I’ll leave something laying around or not do the dishes, because I somehow think someone, somewhere will take the

initiative and do it.

Then I walk into the kitchen and come to my senses: the dishwasher is empty, dirty dishes are sitting on the counter above it.

Apparently I have the market cornered on that too.

Giardia is a simple one-celled parasitic species; it is not a “worm”, bacteria or virus.

The parasite occurs worldwide and is a common cause of “Traveler’s Diarrhea” in people.

Outdoor enthusiasts who inadvertently consume contaminated water may develop “beaver fever”, which is another name for giardiasis in people.

Giardiasis can be an important cause of illness, especially diarrhea, in animals and man. However, the majority of dogs infected with Giardia do not have diarrhea, vomiting or any other signs of illness.

The Giardia organism has two forms. A fragile, feeding form exists in the gut of infected animals, while a hardy cystic form is shed in feces and can survive several months in the environment, particularly in water and damp environments.

What are the clinical signs of Giardiasis?

“The disease is not usually life threatening unless the dogs’ immune system is immature or immunocompromised.”

The diarrhea may be intermittent. Most dogs do not have a fever but may be less active. The disease is not usually life threatening unless the dogs’ immune system is immature or immunocompromised.

How do dogs get giardiasis?

“Giardiasis can be transmitted by eating or sniffing the cysts from contaminated ground, or by drinking contaminated water.”

When Giardia cysts are found in puppies and debilitated adult dogs, they may cause severe, watery diarrhea that may be fatal if left untreated.

Can my dog give a Giardia infection to me or my family?

If your dog is diagnosed with giardiasis, environmental disinfection and good personal hygiene are important to prevent accidental spread to humans.

In particular, people with immunodeficiency, such as AIDS or cancer, or who are undergoing chemotherapy, should use extreme care, especially when handling feces or after administering medications.

Water main repairs should be finished by end of the week

Repairs from damage caused by a water main break in Covington early Tuesday morning are expected to be completed by the end of the week according to Gwen Maxfield, general manager for Covington Water.

The break occurred along the water main that

Maxfield said that an exact number of residents and businesses who were affected was hard to say, but said that, “no water was shut off.”

For some customers water did turn brown, and Maxfield said Covington Water received 20-30 dirty

water calls. The discoloration, she said, was due to sediment being stirred up when the pipe cracked.

“We told them they could drink the water, there was nothing wrong with the water, it was just discolored,” Maxfield said.

On Tuesday afternoon Maxfield described the break as a “12-inch spiral crack” and said that the pipe had been replaced

Precinct Commander Maj. Brad Thompson explained in October that the closing of the precinct came about two years ago in response to the sheriff ’s office moving from a precinct model to a zones model in order to cut costs. Now the sheriff ’s office is moving back to a precinct model.

The building has three holding cells and a locker room, as well as community and private meeting room spaces.

The property and building are both owned by the county.

Thompson, as well as captains, four professional staff, eight patrol sergeants, a detective sergeant, four detectives,

and 51 deputies will work out of the precinct.

The long term plan for Precinct 3 also includes taking down the north fence and building a covered parking area where special operations can store its variety of armored and other vehicles that need to be sheltered from the elements, according to Thompson. Currently those vehicles are stored at sites around the county. The precinct will also become home to the special operations unit.

Evelyn Mae Claybourn, 94 years old, peacefully passed away and went to be with our Lord on the morning of March 25, 2014 at her home in Fountain Court, Maple Valley, WA. Born in Dekalb, Illinois on December 6, 1919 to George and Anne Cooper, she spent her first 42 years in Illinois.

She graduated from high school there, and later married Charles Fayette Thompson. While raising 5 children she was involved in restaurant work with her husband. Evelyn, or Evie as her friends called her, lost her husband in 1958. She later married Harley Joe Claybourn and moved to Washington where they lived in Kent and Cle Elum. She stayed in CleElum for many years after losing Joe. Evelyn was one of the Tucson snowbirds for many winters. She was an avid reader, and spent much of her time in the sun reading or enjoying the company of friends in Arizona. Her later years were spent in Maple Valley where she made many friends and joined the Cornerstone Methodist Church.

Besides her 2 husbands, she was also preceded in death by her daughter, Connie in 2011. She is survived by 3 sons, Joel, Dale, and Gene Thompson, and 1 daughter, Julie Oyster. Evelyn was blessed with 19 grandchildren, 42 greatgrandchildren, and 17 great-great grandchildren.

Evelyn will be remembered as the loving, caring matriarch of her family, as well as a dedicated friend to many. She will be very missed by us all.

Evelyn will be memorialized in a Celebration of Life service at her church, Cornerstone Methodist, at 1P.M. on March 29th with a reception following the service. The church is located at 20730 S.E. 272nd (Kent-Kangley Rd.), in Covington, Washington.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests sending donations to the American Heart Association.

Part 2: Reaching out to the needy in Nicaragua Guest Columnist

next day.

There were five of us working with the dentists, setting up dental trays, coordinating patients, handing equipment to the dentists and field sanitizing the instruments. Only one of the support crew had any experience as a dental technician. The rest of us were ordinary, everyday folks. Having a heart to serve was as important as a dental certificate.

The three dentists saw more than patients in the five hours a day we offered the clinic. Fillings took time and work, but those were rare. Most of the patients needed more than one extraction.

Our portable autoclave to sanitize the dental instruments broke down the first day, so instruments could only be used once and had to be sanitized with a long boiling procedure at night. More than once we were down to the last clean instrument.

I remember one 9-year-old boy. He sat in the chair and opened his mouth. His teeth had black holes through them.

There is little if any electricity or refrigeration and the

Regional News Rain causes landslides

BY DENNIS BOX

“The crews will work to restabilize the hill,” Ogershok said. “It’s challenging because of the additional heavy rains.”

Ogershok said, “Storms are costly.”

dbox@covingtonreporter.com

After more than a week of rain with little relief, the roads near Enumclaw and Black Diamond have taken a beating.

A landslide Sunday has closed a portion of Green Valley Road near Flaming Geyser Park. The road was still open Sunday, according to King County Road Services Division, but was closed Monday while crews cleared the damage.

Last week a road washed out in Osceola across from Tom DeSanto Greenhouses on Southeast 456th Way near Enumclaw The road was closed the morning of March 11 after a rain storm washed out the slope and part of the road.

Rochelle Ogershok, public affairs coordinator for the roads division, said debris from the rain flooded the culvert and drain pipe causing the washout.

‘Grandma scam’ revealed Sarah Wehmann Staff Writer

We’ve all gotten those strange phone calls from numbers we don’t know or from people we don’t know.

Recently, Enumclaw resident Genevieve Bolson received two phone calls from someone claiming to be a grandchild of hers.

The first time Bolson was called, she said she listened to a fair amount of the phone conversation.

It was a quite lengthy and detailed call, she said, but

Horse Liniment Erases Pain HIALEAH, FL – An ingredient often used to treat inflammation in racehorse legs is now back on the market in its original doctor recommended clinical strength formula.

According to a national drug survey, the formula at one time became so popular that it rose to the top of pharmacy sales for topical pain relievers. But the company marketing the product at the time changed the formula and sales plummeted. One of the inventors of the original formula has brought it back under the trade name ARTH ARREST and

says it can relieve pain for millions.

ARTH ARREST works by a dual mechanism whereby one ingredient relieves pain immediately, while a second ingredient seeks out and destroys the pain messenger signal before it can be sent to the brain. Considered a medical miracle by some, ARTH ARREST is useful in the treatment of a variety of painful disorders.

ARTH ARREST is available without a prescription or call 877-581-1502.

Now at:

halfway through she knew it was a hoax and had heard enough.

“I told them they should know I was taping the call and they immediately hung up,” Bolson said.

Not long after, Bolson received another call. But this time she didn’t listen to much of the call before telling them she was taping it.

The callers were posing as a grandchild of Bolson saying that they were hurt and needed money sent to them.

She credits them for being clever in the way they ask for the money.

The callers wanted her to draw cash out and wire the money to a foreign coun-

try where an agent would send the money back to the appropriate place.

“They make it so convincing,” she said.

Bolson isn’t alone. Her brother’s neighbor was recently hit by a scammer as well and almost sent the money.

The neighbor sent her daughter to the bank to withdraw the $2,000.

Bolson said the bank teller asked what the money was for. That’s when the teller stopped them and let them know that they were being scammed, she added.

“If the bank teller hadn’t been alert,” Bolson said.

“She could have sent the money.”

This scam is nothing new. It is known as the “Grandparent Scam.”

In 2010, the Federal Trade C om m ission recorded more than 40,000 cases of scam-

drinking water is not good. So the kids drink Coke and Pepsi. Sugar is inexpensive and I saw many kids sucking on small bags of sugar. And their teeth, or what was left of their teeth, showed the effects.

Corner of Love is working with the 60-plus villages they serve to put in safe drinking water systems and is building a permanent medical-dental clinic, centrally located, to better serve the poor people of the remote villages. They are building classrooms in the complex to teach village leaders about oral and general hygiene. There is much to do to improve the lives of these proud, rural people and they are eager to learn.

We didn’t keep track of the number of teeth pulled, but our dentists did a remarkable job of helping people in the most difficult of environments, working on dirt floors with an occasional chicken or pig checking us out. You can check out the opportunity of a lifetime to serve some wonderful, but oh so poor people at www.corneroflove.org.

Open your heart wide and experience the kingdom of God. mers impersonating family or friends. And many of these scams go unreported.

And thousands of dollars are lost every year by people falling for the grandparent scam as well as other phone scams.

In 2011, it was reported that 25,500 older Americans sent $110 million to scammers who posed as family members in distress.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation warns people to resist the need to act quickly and send the money right away. Be skeptical and trust your gut feeling if you receive phone calls similar to these.

The FBI also suggests asking detailed questions to the person on the phone that only your true grandchild or family member would know.

Ask for a phone number to call them back on and finally after hanging up the phone, call your grandchild or their parents and check on them.

The FBI also wants to inform people that wiring money is similar to sending cash, you cannot get the money back once it is sent.

According to information on the Washington State Office of the Attorney General’s website you can avoid and detect a scam by not filling in the blanks for the scammer. If you ask more questions to understand the situation like what grandchild is calling, it is likely that the scammer will hang up.

“Even if this just helps save one person,” Bolson said. “It is good to get this information out to people.”

Proximo para dental, por favor! Next for dental, please.

That was my oft-repeated phrase and, try as I might, probably spoken with a decidedly nonSpanish accent.

I was given the task of coordinating the incoming patients for the mobile dental clinic during our Corner of Love (see last week’s Church Corner) medical-dental trip to Nicaragua in January.

Being way too familiar with dental visits in my life, I could feel the anxiety of the patients as they handed me their Corner of Love clinic cards. They weren’t there for an annual check up and cleaning. Most had abscessed teeth, gum infections and oh, how their mouths must have hurt.

We were blessed to have three dentists on the trip, two from the Plateau and one from Everett. Our team went out each day as we visited five remote villages with our mobile clinic. Each morning we packed the pickup with all the dental gear, chairs, lights, portable drills, dental instruments and supplies, tables and sanitizing equipment. At the end of each day, we packed up and resupplied for the
