Mayor’s actions ‘concerning’ but no charges filed

BY ERIC MANDEL AND DENNIS BOX emandel@maplevalleyreporter.com

Maple Valley Mayor Bill Allison will not be charged for an allegation of communication with a minor for immoral purposes.

Reliable water source Water utilities deliver reliable, safe drinking water 24 / 7 / 365. All utilities are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency and state Departments of Health to ensure that health standards are fully implemented for the safety and welfare of customers. In addition, utilities develop, design and construct water supply sources, distribution main and treatment facilities to meet this mission.

Covington Water District’s history provides an illustration of how utilities evolve to meet an expanding population base and increasing regulatory requirements.

• 1960 - District formed to provide water to homes in the Lake Morton area. Groundwater supplies were District’s sole source of water.

• 1989 - Signed the South King County Coordinated Water System Plan which established boundaries to clarify service areas and prevent future confusion and conflict for water service.

• 1991 - Growth Management planning in Washington State resulted in an urban growth area designation for Covington, Maple Valley and Black Diamond.

• 1994 - District declared a water moratorium until additional supply sources could be obtained as rapid growth pressed the limits of approved water supply sources.

• 1995 - District began chlorinating its water.

• 1997 - Through a variety of channels, including agreements with Auburn, Seattle and Tacoma, the District lifted the moratorium.

• 1997 - Covington and Maple Valley incorporated as cities.

• 1999 - District joins Cascade Water Alliance (Cascade) as a future back-up source of water.

• 2002 - District signed a partnership agreement with Tacoma to receive water from the Howard Hansen regional water supply (RWSS).

• 2005 - First water received from RWSS surface water supply.

• 2010 - District completes a strategic supply plan projecting its existing supply sources will meet demand

CWD Exercises to Prepare for Emergencies Public water systems must prepare to maintain their critical services under all-hazard conditions. Preparedness is essential for effective incident and emergency management and recovery. The District is engaged in a continuous cycle of planning, training, exercise, equipping, organizing, evaluating and taking corrective actions to achieve and maintain readiness to respond to, and reduce the impacts of emergencies.

In November and December of 2013, the District exercised its response to intentional and accidental water contamination incidents. All District staff was involved in the exercises with the goal of practicing and executing a unified and coordinated response to a contamination incident.

One of the most important aspects of responding to a water contamination incident, whether it is an accidental contamination, due, for example, to a backflow of contaminated liquids through a cross-connection, or an intentional contamination instigated by an individual or group, is to notify our customers as soon as possible. If such a contamination incident were to occur, the District would notify its customers by all available means including mass calls, social media, multimedia, door-to-door (if feasible), signs, and banners.

Notifications or Drinking Water Advisories are issued when a public water system knows or believes that water quality is compromised. These advisories let individuals, schools, hospitals’, businesses and others know about the situation and how to take immediate and appropriate action. The advisories may be precautionary in nature, when they are issued as a protective measure, or mandatory, which are issued as required by state and federal law to protect public health. Different types of advisories may be issued depending upon the type and severity of the contamination.

Informational – These advisories communicate planned or anticipated changes in water quality and provide advice on appropriate action.

Boil Water – Although Boil Water advisories seldom occur, they are still the most common type of advisory. They may be precautionary or mandatory as required Boil water advisories typically are issued because of concern about microbial contamination.

until 2080 and beyond, given population growth, consumption rates and available supply.

• 2012 - District withdraws from Cascade given the results of strategic supply planning. Resulting savings assist in managing rate requirements.

• 2015 - Date by which the RWSS surface water source will be treated, as mandated by EPA. The RWSS partners elected to filter the surface water supply coming from the Green River.

As related above the District has had to respond to a variety of challenges to provide a reliable delivery of water.

Safe drinking water delivery is monitored 24 hours a day year around to make sure customers have access to this necessary commodity. Enjoy and please use it wisely!

Do Not Drink – Informs customers to use an alternative source of water. Do Not Drink advisories are usually due to chemical contamination.

Do Not Use – Informs customers that they cannot use tap water for any purpose, including fire protection, flushing toilets and bathing. Do Not Use advisories are typically used only in cases of known microbial, chemical or radiological contamination when contact with the skin, lungs or eyes can be dangerous. Such advisories are rare because of the risks associated with the lack of water for sanitation and fire protection.

Regardless of how much the District prepares for emergencies, prevention is not possible. Staff can prepare to mitigate or minimize the impacts of these incidents, but no one can predict all the potential scenarios. You can help the District be the most efficient in getting timely and important information to out to our customers by providing the District your contact information (phone number, email address, etc.) You may visit the District’s website at covingtonwater.com for more information about Drinking Water Advisories and to leave your contact information.

After African Promise fell victim to wire fraud, supporters donated over $12,000 in a matter of days

BY KATHERINE SMITH

ksmith@maplevalleyreporter.com

Suzy Benson Gillies was distraught when she discovered a hacker stole funds the African Promise Foundation raised to pay school fees for students in Uganda.

The news came on the heels of a visit by Sister Rosemary Nyirumbe, who runs a school for women and their children who have been victims of Joseph Kony, leader of the Lord’s Resistance Army in Uganda.

Benson Gillies had connected with Nyirumbe on one of her trips to the country. Because of the meeting a friendship between the two women was born.

Nyirumbe made a stop in Seattle in February and spoke at several Tahoma schools about the brutalities the Uganda students lived through and the ability Tahoma students have to make a difference in the world.

African Promise, which is run entirely by volunteers, buys beads from Ugandan women as a

means for the women to support themselves. Jewelry made from the beads is sold by the organization and the profits are used to sponsor students at schools in Northern Uganda. Last year 35 students were sponsored.

The organization pays school fees for the year in February via wire transfer.

The first hint something had gone amiss came when Benson Gillies received an email from a volunteer in Uganda asking when she was going to wire the money.

Benson Gillies had already wired the money.

Then it was discovered someone had hacked into the volunteer’s email account and sent Benson Gillies bad information about where to wire the funds — effectively stealing them.

“We contacted the bank immediately,” MaryKai Boulton, treasurer and accountant for African Promise said.

The foundation also contacted the authorities in Uganda and is working on filing a report with the FBI. Boulton noted that the odds of retrieving the funds

are slim. her birthday.

Ultimately the board decided to go public and posted a letter to the organization’s Facebook page.

“We received a huge outpouring of support,” Boulton said.

By the following Tuesday supporters of the organization had donated $12,400 dollars, with an additional $1,000 to come in matching funds. That’s more than the original amount stolen.

With those funds, Benson Gillies said, not only will the organization be able to keep it’s obligations to students, but will also be able to sponsor an additional five students.

“That’s incredible,” Benson Gillies said. “It blows my mind. Still.”

Boulton said that things like this can raise questions about an organization, and cause people to doubt the work that is being done.

Misadventures in auto repair A funny thing happened to me on my way to an oil change.

I recently had the oil changed in my wife’s 2004 Toyota Tacoma at a local repair shop and was told by the mechanic that the fuel filter and spark plugs were badly in need of replacement.

I knew enough to know that changing the fuel filter, once an easy job, was no longer simple, so I told the mechanic go to ahead and change it.

It turned out he had to replace the filter going through the wheel well. So I made a good decision.

When it came to the spark plugs, I figured it was a cinch for me to do it by myself. After all, I’d changed the plugs on my vehicles since I was in my 20s. I popped the hood to the truck

MAIL: Letters, Covington/Maple Valley Reporter,

But that’s the thing about tragedies — whether it a mysterious helicopter accident or a plane vanishing over the ocean, they sure help with perspective. For me, it’s a reminder that life is indeed short and that terrible things do happen. And sometimes that means shutting down the computer and watching the next disaster through the window.

and the internet in my professional and personal life — from research to March Madness updates.

And I love this. I wouldn’t have survived this industry in the age of the typewriter.

But there’s also the headache I get from staring at the daily glow sitting on my desk and plopped in my hand from morning to night. It’s really kind of exhausting.

I recently spent a weekend in Doe Bay, where I actually spent a few moments off-screen. I walked outside and my pockets were free of a cell phone and keys. And even a wallet. It’s a freeing feeling to know you’re not needed or connected.

and saw the spark plugs on the side of the four cylinders, where they had been on my previous 1978 Toyota pickup.

There was a long metal bar that was screwed on over the top of them so I figured out how to remove it. What I found was that, instead of spark plugs, I had disconnected the fuel injection jets.

When I tried to put everything back the way it was, I found I was unable to do so.

Not knowing what to do, but realizing that I would probably only make matters worse if I continued, I swallowed my pride and called the repair shop, asking for advice and help. Since I live in town they came out and told me what I had done.

The mechanic couldn’t re-screw the bolts because I had cross-threaded the bolt hole. I’d have to have the truck towed out of my garage and hauled to the repair shop. Fortunately, my insurance covered most of the towing costs.

At the shop, the mechanic re-tapped the threads and then told me the spark plugs I had purchased at the local auto parts store were too “hot” for the coils that now go to each spark plug rather than the old way I was

familiar with, a distributor and wires. I was told that had I used the type of plugs I had purchased, I would have burned up the coils at $150 each (times four).

The mechanic replaced the plugs with the right type for the truck and I was able to drive it home.

The owner of the mechanic’s shop was being sympathetic when he told me, “We’ve all done it.” We all make mistakes that are costly and that I shouldn’t beat myself up too much.

What lessons did I learn from my out-ofdate, behind-the-technology attempts at being an at-home mechanic? Leave the new technology to the experts.

A lot has changed since I replaced the spark plugs in my 20s and 30s. Times have changed and automobile technology is a lot more complex than it used to be.

Kathleen, my wife, said I should stick to what I’m good at and let others do the repairs.

Good advice.

Rather than spending my time doing what I’m not good at, I should focus on doing and improving what I am strong in.

That’s what I tell my high school completion students and maybe I should follow my own advice.

Should existing rules regulating tobacco use also apply to e-cigarettes?

I had a deadline to meet when I woke up on March 19. So after going through my morning waking routine, I picked up my laptop and started to work.

My girlfriend and I recently moved into a new apartment in Capitol Hill, in part for its scenic view of downtown Seattle, but there was certainly no time to dilly dally on this day.

After roughly an hour of typing and researching medical marijuana legislation, I inadvertently landed on my former newspaper’s home page.

A few words in a headline caught my attention.

“News helicopter crashes near Seattle’s Space Needle” I looked up through my windows for a direct view of the Space Needle. And yet, there was no ghastly plume of smoke. Nothing out of the ordinary at all, as far as I could tell.

I had missed the whole terrible thing as it unfolded right in front of me. And I only found out by visiting a website – in Iowa.

Now, please don’t misunderstand me. I don’t mean to be callous or downplay this tragedy; this isn’t a story about my desire to watch terrible accidents and death unfold, or a way to gloat about the modest view from my one-bedroom apartment. More than anything, I saw this as an instance of being both grateful and disheartened about the role of technology in my life.

I rely so heavily on computers, cell phones

Learn about the facts during colon cancer screening month

BY SHALINI KANNEGANTI, M.D.

Celebrities have a great capacity to bring attention to a cause or event. In 2000, “Today” show co-anchor Katie Couric wanted to call attention to colon cancer since she had lost her husband to the disease.

She had a colonoscopy on live television and there was an increase in people getting screened around the country.

More recently Dan Whitney, better known as Larry the Cable Guy, turned 50 and got a colonoscopy.

He did a video about it and posted it on YouTube that

went viral.

Colorectal cancer is the third most common form of cancer diagnosis in the U.S. affecting both men and women. It is one of the most treatable and preventable forms of cancer and still almost 55,000 Americans each year are dying from this cancer.

March is National Colon Cancer Awareness Month and because colon cancer is asymptomatic for most patients, being screened is the best way to detect colon cancer before it becomes advanced. People most at risk for colorectal cancer include:

Take shiny elements of diets in moderation

BY CHELSEY LINDAHL, RD, CD, WELLNESS DIETITIAN

The Paleo Diet has been steadily gaining traction in

the health and fitness world for the past several years.

It recently ranked last on the U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Diets Over-

Finding the Connection • Since 1989 •

• people 50 and older; • people with a family history of colorectal cancer or benign (non-cancerous) colorectal polyps; • people with personal histories of inflammatory bowel disease; and • people with family histories of inherited colorectal cancer or inherited colorectal problems.

If you don’t have any of these risk factors, it is recommended that everyone get screened when they turn 50. The gold standard for screening is still a colonoscopy, and while the procedure may sound intimidating, it is really

quite benign.

The doctor uses an endoscope, which is a flexible tube with a camera on the end, to visualize the colon and search for any polyps or tumors. Patients are put under twilight sedation to make them comfortable.

During the procedure, the doctor will remove any polyps and check them for precancerous cells. If any tumors are found that have become cancerous, surgery is usually the main course of treatment. Overall, a colonoscopy usually takes only 20 to 30 minutes and patients are able to resume their daily activities the

same day.

You should also know that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that was passed in 2010 waives the coinsurance and deductible for many colon cancer screening tests, including a colonoscopy.

In 2013, clarification to the preventative screening benefits under the law means that patients with private insurance are now not liable for cost sharing when a pre-cancerous polyp is removed during a colonoscopy screening.

Medicare patients are still required to pay coinsurance when a polyp is removed,

all” list for 2014 and has garnered attention from supporters and naysayers alike.

The big question that people often ask: Is the controversial Paleo Diet a healthful one?

Unfortunately, there is no straightforward answer. The tricky piece around “diets” in general is that there is a lot of information to digest and that information is always open to interpretation. When examining a diet, it’s important to look at the big picture and not be

swept away by smoke and mirrors.

Let’s take a closer look at Paleo.

The central focus of the Paleo Diet revolves around eating the way our ancestral hunter-gatherers did.

Key components of the diet include the elimination of processed foods, grains, dairy, legumes and added sugars. In addition, emphasis is placed on the increased consumption of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, eggs, meat, fish and poultry.

Benefits of the Paleo Diet are believed to include improved GI health, improved energy, improved mood and decreased risk for chronic disease.

Unfortunately, there is currently limited science-based evidence to support benefits of the Paleo Diet, as the diet has not yet become focus of major research. However, with the diets increasing popularity, it’s likely we’ll learn more in coming years.

Supporters of the Paleo Diet, such as Diane Sanfillipino, Rob Wolff and Chris

Kresser, believe that the Paleo Diet paves the way to optimal health.

However, the diet has faced criticism over concerns regarding potential nutritional deficiencies due to the elimination of grains and dairy. The diet has also faced criticism for its potentially high quantity of saturated fat, which has been shown to increases our risk for heart disease in past research.

Since there’s not much research to date, it’s hard to [ more SHINY page 7 ]

but efforts are underway to change this as well.

Many people don’t want to get a colonoscopy because they think it will be painful or embarrassing. Don’t let your fear get in the way of taking care of yourself. Too many people never get screened and by the time they realize there’s a problem their cancer is highly advanced.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, or COPD, happens when the lungs can no longer work correctly because the airways are swollen and clogged with mucous.

COPD is most often caused by breathing in a substance that irritates the lungs over an extended period of time. The most common cause of COPD, in fact, is cigarette smoking.

Even secondhand smoke can cause long-term damage, and pollution and fumes can cause the condition as well.

However, inhaling damaging toxins is not the only way to develop the condition. In rare cases (approximately 3 out of 100), COPD is the direct result of a defect in the DNA. Another uncommon cause of COPD is asthma that is not treated properly for an extended time.

No matter how long you have had COPD or how serious it is, quitting smoking will help slow down the disease and improve your quality of life. Today’s medicines offer lots of help for people who want to quit. While you can’t heal the damage that caused COPD, you can slow down the process.

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

Klason stressed that helping police the district is only part of a resource officer’s duties. The program is also about building relationships and community.

“Both the school district and the security staff and I have been hoping this would come to fruition — the timing just hasn’t been right over the last several years with the downturn in the economy and the school district’s budget cycle being several months off from the city’s,” Klason said. “We’ve gotten to a juncture where we are finally going to make it work.”

The city of Covington and the Kent School District are working together to fund a school resource officer who would be stationed at Kentwood High School beginning in September.

“It’s something I’ve had on our wish list to improve the public safety for our citizens for a long time,” said Covington Police Chief Kevin Klason.

The City Council discussed using future budget surpluses to pay for part of a resource officer at the council’s annual strategic planning summit on Jan. 25.

“That is how they are going to fund it for the foreseeable future,” Klason said.

Klason said that the school district will fund 60 percent of the resource offi-

cer and the city will fund 40 percent. The annual cost for a dedicated school resource officer, Klason added, is about $185,000. That includes salary, benefits, as well as equipment — including a patrol car — and all overhead costs associated with the officer.

“That’s the full package,” Klason said.

In the past, both Kentwood and Kentlake had dedicated resource officers, but those programs went away due to funding cuts a number of years ago.

“It was a budgetary issue,” Klason said of why the program was cut. “We’ve had discussions in the past (with the school district) and they too have wanted a school resource officer, and the time is right that we can finally do this.”

Klason said the stabilizing economy allowed for the possibility of a resource officer dedicated to Kent-

[8] March 28, 2014 [ SMOKE from page 1] This slightly smoky weekend market is radically different from the MMJ Universe collective thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open during the week, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also what MMJ Universe owner Deidre Finley said best represents the spirit of why Washington voted to legalized medical cannabis more than 15 years ago.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also exactly what Finley said would have been eliminated had a bill not unexpectedly died before the legislative session ended on March 13.

Sure, Finley was relieved that she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose a main function of her business, but she was also grateful that she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet have to answer one main question: What are her patients going to do? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do want to evolve into a regulated market,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it from the outside and not understand us.â&#x20AC;?

THE LEGISLATIVE IMPACT Washington has no regulated medical system in place, unlike Colorado, which simply allowed medical dispensaries to sell recreational pot.

The recent bill that would have brought the medical marijuana industry under state control died in the House without a vote. The fight is primarily over taxes.

The state Liquor Control Board issued its first recreational pot license on March 5. The board will likely hold lotteries to pick 334 pot shops statewide from the more than 2,200 retail applications. The first stores are expected to open in June or July.

Conflicting sides can be found throughout the debate, including among the various pro-marijuana factions.

Philip Dawdy, media and policy director at the Washington Cannabis Association, said he supports both causes and sees a rift. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if it is hurting both of us, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not helping,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I

www.covingtonreporter.com â&#x20AC;˘ www.maplevalleyreporter.com think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some tension between, not even the two camps, just between the two systems.â&#x20AC;?

The debate was evident locally during a Black Diamond City Council public hearing on March 6, when a prospective recreational pot business owner spoke in front of the council.

Two owners of Erbacce Wholesale spoke at length to the council, in hopes of distancing their business from the â&#x20AC;&#x153;wild, wild west,â&#x20AC;? unregulated medical marijuana industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have nothing to fear from our organization,â&#x20AC;? Joe Corsell told the council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are hard working, law abiding citizens just like you.â&#x20AC;?

Despite the pleas, the Black Diamond City Council extended a one year moratorium on both industries at its March 22 council meeting. The moratoriums began in September of 2013.

Black Diamond City Councilwoman Carol Benson told The Reporter the city wants to map out where potential pot-related businesses could be located once the legislature has outlined its procedures.

Benson noted medical marijuana shops donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide any income for the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cash business,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even benefit the city to have them.â&#x20AC;?

In February, the city revoked the business license for Lady Buds, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;health and wellness centerâ&#x20AC;? within city limits that has marijuana on the premises, claiming the shop misrepresented its application and role with marijuana. Lady Buds has appealed the revocation and remains open until a decision is made.

Lady Budsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attorney Jay Berneburg said the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recent moratorium redefined its definition of a dispensary, and in effect will keep Lady Buds from being able to do business in Black Diamond even if it wins the appeal.

Berneburg said the fight is nowhere near finished.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;These guys are going to pay,â&#x20AC;? Berneburg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not over no matter what happens. This is a 12 round fight. This is just round two or three. We have a long way to go.â&#x20AC;?

Similar to Black Diamond, Covington and Maple Valley are awaiting legislatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision on how to move forward, though both are taking different approaches.

Covington officials decided to, in essence, grandfather its lone collective, Covington Holistic Medicine, into the city because the business opened before the moratorium.

Recreational marijuana in Covington is currently under interim zoning, which, like a moratorium, is adopted in six month increments. The interim zoning features the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1,000 foot buffers to areas and includes its own other sensitive locations. The city also restricts recreational businesses to specific zones.

Retail stores must be located in the mixed commercial or general commercial zones, which are generally either north of 272 Street and in the Covington Way Corridor, Matheson said.

Production and processing businesses must be in the industrial zone, which is generally near the Covington Way Corridor.

Covingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning commission will be working on permanent regulations in 2014 and will eventually make a recommendation to the council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We and almost every other city in the state were waiting on some direction from the Legislature,â&#x20AC;? said Covington City Manager Derek Matheson.

Maple Valley, on the other hand, lifted its moratorium on medical marijuana in December of 2012 and is open to recreational and medical businesses, provided the establishments meet state guidelines.

Morgan defended Lady Buds and admitted to being a marijuana patient in front of the Black Diamond City Council. She said it is important to stand up for the cause. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to be able to be discrete, but I shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to hide it,â&#x20AC;? she said.

A major concern of medical marijuana proponents had been how combining the medical and recreational regulations could hurt patients.

While recreational marijuana will be loaded with high percentages of THC â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the primary ingredient in marijuana that gets you high â&#x20AC;&#x201D; medical cannabis industry is shifting some of its focus to Cannabidiol, or CBD oil, which has proven effective against seizures

and will soon be studied as a treatment for children epilepsy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get high from CBDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s but it has an amazing effect on pain,â&#x20AC;? Finley said.

If the regulations were combined, it is believed that growers may focus their limited growing capacity on the more profitable THC-filled pot, making it difficult for patients to find marijuana tailored to their specific needs. Finley said what would have been done to patients â&#x20AC;&#x153;was a crime. It was wrong.â&#x20AC;?

Berneburg said he liked the proposed bill, saying it would tighten authorization and would have phased out collective gardens over a two year period. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both sides wanted to make sure that patients would have access to medicine,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was no attempt to get rid of medical marijuana.â&#x20AC;?

Covington Sports informed the city last fall of funding issues it faced, giving the City Council time to prepare and discuss whether it wanted to assume the recreational sports role.

The city agreed to add the programming to its recreation division during its council retreat in January. The net cost estimate for the undertaking in 2015 is between $80,000$120,000, with $32,000 in startup fees. Thomas said that money comes from the general budget.

Thomas said he often hears from the community that there is not enough for kids to do in Covington and losing this program would have been devastating.

“People will go to great lengths to make sure kids have things to do,” Thomas said. “If it were a profit generating activity a business would do it and then we wouldn’t have to.”

Kent Little League and Kent Youth Soccer Association, the city’s other two sports organizations, are more narrowly focused and oriented towards competitive play. The city plans to replicate Covington Community Sports’ goal of play for the sake of fun.

“It’s an all-comers approach,” Thomas said.

Keeping rec sports local helps “build community on the sidelines,” Thomas said. But there’s also another potential benefit, as the city plans to meld the aquatics, recreation and parks divisions to provide more comprehensive registration opportunities.

In other words, with one

phone call families can sign up for various aquatic and recreational options for all ages.

Thomas expects the program to evolve in the coming years, with potential additions of sports such as cross country running and dodgeball.

“But that will take a few years to ramp up,” Thomas said. “We don’t want to bite off more than we can chew in the first year.”

Thomas said the city will charge comparable sign up fees to Covington Sports’ current prices and will look for sponsorships to help offset costs. The city will continue to primarily focus on younger kids: from toddlers to early teenagers.

The city is hoping for an easy transition, and is committed to starting youth sports in the fall with soccer and flag football. Thomas is still determining whether the city will be ready to provide adult softball in the summer. Soccer will continue to be the most readily available youth sport, with a spring and fall league, along with a week-long summer camp.

Thomas believes that most of the public already assumes the city handles

recreational sports and, thus, won’t notice much of a difference.

“People will probably think it’s just a name change or a different phone number,” he said.

Jason Gaver has a 6-year-old son, Zack, who has enjoyed two seasons of recreational sports and is currently in the soccer league. Gaver said he is always skeptical when the city or state takes over a program.

“But it seems like it would be pretty hard to screw up kids sports, so we’ll see,” he said.

Covington Sports Athletic Director Erick Schurg said the organization didn’t have enough of a buffer to offset the high turnover of staff who dealt with marketing and grants. The lack of funding and lower registration numbers forced a big picture reality that the organization would likely be unable to continue past the upcoming spring soccer season.

“I wasn’t even going to look past spring baseball and tee ball, and even that was a 50-50 shot at best,” he said. “It’s definitely a positive thing for the city to be taking over.”

Schurg expects the

priorities and funding for parks, recreation and facilities.

“It’s a trade off,” Thomas said. “We are putting that off because this is more pressing.”

Thomas said it’s exciting that the city can do more than just “hold the ground” financially — able to again fund services that the community wants.

“Two years ago we maybe couldn’t have been able to take this on,” Thomas said.

Five tips on chores to do now and ones to put off this spring Marianne Binetti

What’s blooming at Lake Wilderness Arboretum Congratulations to the winners of the 2014 Student Art Contest.

In the Grade 9 category, “Secret Garden2” by Caitlin Hughes is inspired by a 7th grade field trip to the arboretum.

‘Walking through a path engulfed with flowers, it was breathtaking, and to make it better, there was a cute little pond with fish,” Hughes said.

Community News and Notes KENTLAKE TEACHER SELECTED TEACHER OF THE YEAR BY WASHINGTON RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION Kentlake High School culinary arts teacher Cecilia Stec has been selected as Prostart Teacher of the Year by the Washington Restaurant Association Education Foundation.

The foundation recognizes teachers who make outstanding contributions in the lives of their students.

Stec was nominated for exemplary teaching ability, passion for her craft and her strong business acumen. Stec’s students cater school district and community events, and their exemplary work ethic and level of care in service and perfor-

the lawn in spring helps the turf fill in bare spots where moss wants to grow. Be sure to sharpen the blade on your mower for a crisp, clean cut and fill in any dips and valleys with sandy loam so the lawn area is perfectly level.

Prune, when needed.

Most roses, fruit trees and overgrown shrubs benefit from a spring pruning but not all plants need to be pruned. If you haven’t removed the old growth from clumps of ornamental grasses or if you have an overgrown spiraea, ninebark, buddleah or winter weary nandina you can cut these shrubs back to almost ground level for spring renewal. Don’t be pruning rhododendrons or azaleas in early spring or you’ll be cutting off all the

flower buds. Pruning after blooming is the general rule of green thumb.

Feed your soil.

This means adding compost or manure to the vegetable garden and around hungry roses or applying an organic fertilizer like alfalfa pellets to the soil and working this in slightly with a light raking motion.

Your soil is teaming with microbes and other living critters that need organic matter to feed upon. The more living creatures in your soil the healthier your plants.

Clean the beds, stop the slugs. In our wet spring weather, slugs devour the new growth of vegetables, annuals and perennials and cleaning up decaying foliage of last year’s plants is one way to

5

destroy the slug’s favorite habitat. Stock up on slug bait (they make several brands that are pet safe) and be sure to bait for slugs around newly-planted primroses, pansies and lettuce starts.

Here are five chores that can wait until the weather warms (like after mid-May when all danger of frost is passed.)

• Don’t buy tomato plants unless you have a heated greenhouse.

• Don’t plant the seeds of warm season crops like beans, corn or squash.

• Don’t put heat-loving annuals like petunias, marigolds or geraniums into pots or windowboxes.

• Don’t try to aerate the lawn if the soil is still wet.

Waterlogged soil is easily compacted.

• Don’t use a weed-andfeed product on your lawn.

Cold night temperatures make the weed killers ineffective.

Emma Rochleau, Grade 7, is also inspired by walks in the arboretum.

“I named my artwork ‘The Endless Beauty’ because I walk along the paths and I see an endless variety of flowers, plants, and trees of all shapes and sizes,” Rochleau said. “The paths seem endless. While you’re strolling through, it’s a beautiful sight.”

Fourth grader McKenna Miner has won for her artwork, “Gazebo.”

“When I think of the arboretum, the gazebo is the first thing that comes to mind,” Miner said.

Phoebe Chien, also in Grade 4, created a triptych-style original piece entitled, “Boom! Boom!”, which illustrates Maple Valley’s July 4th fireworks show over Lake Wilderness viewed from the arboretum’s hiking trail.

The original artwork is on display at the Maple Valley Publish Library through April.

The Foundation thanks everyone who entered the contest, Kartha Heinz and the Tahoma School District Roundtable.

mance is a reflection of Stec’s passion for her job. Many of Stec’s students develop a deep interest in pursuing post-secondary careers in the culinary arts.

“I’m honored to receive this award,” Stec said. “I am passionate about my students and culinary arts. I love to see students find a career they love like I do.”

The Prostart Teacher of the Year Award is the highest form of recognition for high school food-service education professionals. The teacher of the year is selected by a committee consisting of industry professionals and educators.

“Cecilia is an example of the kind of dedicated teachers we have at Kent School District,” Principal Joe Potts said. “She’s creating a vision for her students of a successful future doing something they love.”

Along with the title, Stec is granted a seat on the WRAEF Board of Directors for one year and a $1,000 scholarship to cover costs to attend the National Restaurant Association Education Foundation Educator Excellence Awards.

KENT-COVINGTON TEAM TAKES THIRD AT STATE U.S. CYBERPATRIOT COMPETITION The Kent-Covington team of Graham Fricks, Logan Hoerth, Seth Johnson and Joshua Max – Boy Scout STEM venture crew members – placed third in the state finals of the U.S. CyberPatriot open division competitions, the nation’s premier high school youth cyber defense challenge.

The competition was created by the Air Force Association in 2009 to inspire students toward careers in cybersecurity or other STEM disciplines. Teams compete in a virtual arena against teams as they race the clock to identify security vulnerabilities, spot weaknesses, fix glitches and secure the network.

Coached by Debbie Max and mentored by the IT professors at Green River Community College, the team earned the win by quickly and effectively establishing and maintaining secure networks in a series of increasingly difficult scenarios.

Ground strokes begin for tennis season

BY ERIC MANDEL emandel@covingtonreporter.com

There is little state experience returning to the tennis courts in the SPSL 4A North Division. While Kentridge and Mount Rainier are the clear favorites, Kentlake, Kentwood and Tahoma are all in various stages of building contending programs.

“Rather than looking at it as a rebuilding year I take the approach that it’s an opportunity to lay the foundation for a very competitive program this year and for years to come,” said Mike McCaffrey, Tahoma’s first year head coach.

KENTLAKE Goals and expectations: After graduating seven of its eight varsity players from 2013, coach Barry Fredericks knows 2014 could be similar to last year’s 2-8 campaign. The squad is returning just three letter winners.

“My expectations this year are that we continue to improve each match and be better at the end of the year than at the start,” he said.

Biggest challenges: Extreme inexperience.

Fredericks said some of the ladies have never played competitive tennis before this spring.

Returners to watch: • Marianne Kim, Senior — Will play either No. 1 singles or No. 1 doubles.

• Alisa Vinje, Senior — Aggressive player with improved net play.

• Natalie Leonard, Sophomore — Solid all-around with high upside.

Newcomers: • Sierra Marlow, Sophomore — New to tennis but has a solid foundation to build on.

• Cassidy Sawyer, Sophomore — Still learning to play, but good ground strokes.

TAHOMA Goals and expectations: Following a 4-6 record in 2013, McCaffrey will have plenty of youth to mold, with nine freshmen and seven sophomores, most of who are relatively new to the sport.

“My expectations are that the girls all compete, give their very best effort on the court and exhibit sportsmanship,” he said.

Biggest challenges: With so many underclassmen, McCaffrey is focused on “developing a culture” where the athletes have confidence in themselves, each other and the coach.

“Most of our players are

relatively new to tennis and haven’t competed much,” he said. “I would like to change that where they learn to excel on the court and play with confidence and are a team.”

Returners to watch: • Jona Wagner, Senior — Loan senior, is No. 1 singles player with a consistent baseline game.

• Kianna Rem, Sophomore — Tenacious fighter with huge topspin will be No. 2 singles.

• Ashley Pettit, Junior — Natural athlete with a strong volley game.

Newcomers: • Lane Lindblom, Sophomore — Solid mental approach to the game.

• Sierra Stultz, Freshman — New to the sport but already has a big serve.

KENTWOOD Goals and expectations: After a 7-3 finish in 2013 that was good enough for third in the North division, head coach Ingrid Bakke said the goals are simple: improve from beginning to end, compete well and win a league title.

“We set (the goals) high but obtainable,” she said.

Biggest challenges: Bakke said staying healthy all year can be a challenge, but will be

“Making it through those two teams is always really tough,” Bakke said.

Returners to watch: • Megan Charlton, Senior – Named a first alternate to state in 2013 after a 10th place finish in district doubles.

• Kathryn Araki, Sophomore — Won one round in 2013 singles SPSL tournament.

Newcomers: • Audry Snider, Junior — Learning to combine her power with consistency.

• Kristine Lee, Senior — Co-captain and leader on-and-off the court.

Soothing my psyche and eating my way to the future could open it together.

“Congratulations!” it said.

Screaming, crying and hugging quickly followed.

She’s wanted to go to this college for the past five years.

She graduated from high school last year, but didn’t have enough artwork to submit to DigiPen. So she’s been going to Green River Community College this school year working on an Art Studio certificate designed to build a portfolio.

I’ve been comfortable having her nearby, living at home, commuting back and forth to school.

I put her future out of my mind while still urging her forward with the applicaGretchen Leigh

Living with Gleigh

My daughter got accepted to DigiPen Institute of Technology’s fine art and digital animation program last Friday night.

Being an “institute of technology” they do everything by email, so I guess getting an email on a Friday night shouldn’t have been a surprise.

I was in the kitchen on the phone when she flew in, “I got an email from DigiPen with an acceptance decision. I’m afraid to open it.”

My blood ran cold: they said 2-4 weeks, it had only been one. What does that mean? Does it only take a week to reject someone?

I hurriedly excused myself from the conversation I was having so we

tion process to DigiPen. The past six months I’ve seen her grow emotionally and even her artwork has greatly matured with college-level art classes.

I feel her readiness to continue her education away from home — out from under the long arm of mom — to be dependent on herself and to make new friends with common interests.

It’s not like she’s far, DigiPen is only an hour from home, but it’s far enough for her to feel like she’s living on her own, starting a new phase in her life.

I know all this, I encourage all this, I’m excited for her future.

Then on Saturday the gravity of the situation came crashing down on my psyche.

The reality of what my

life will be like this fall descended on me like an avalanche: a table for three instead of four, having that feeling every night that all my ducks aren’t in a row with her empty bedroom mocking me, her calling for money, worrying that she’s getting proper nutrition, hoping she’ll call before she gets too stressed or overwhelmed, wondering if she’ll come home on weekends or even have time and if she comes home will she expect me to do her laundry?

I had a little mental breakdown as real life came crashing into my world. I felt paralyzed to do anything but contemplate my future, which is what I had been avoiding while she’s been close to home attending Green River: campus living,

WE THE PEOPLE RAISING FUNDS FOR TRIP TO NATIONALS

The funds are being raised through the Tahoma School Foundation We the People National Trip Fundraiser.

Tahoma High’s We the People team is raising money for a trip to the national competition.

The team will represent Washington state at the 27th annual We the People National Competition April 25-28, which will be held at George Mason University in Virginia, as well as on Capitol Hill.

Community members who wish to donate may do so by going to the GoFundMe site at http://www.gofundme.com/6w63n4.

All donations are tax deductible.

The Tahoma We the People team has placed in the top 10 at the competition in four of its 18 years attending, including the past two years. Last year was the team’s best, finishing seventh out of 54 teams.

The team has also won other awards including the Regional Award for Western State in 2008.

money, empty bedroom, cooking for three.

Now I’ll have two locales to worry about.

So I did what any redblooded American mom would do — I used food to calm myself.

I started in on fattening popcorn, worked my way through a big helping of lasagna and moved on to sherbet and chocolate sauce and mini-cinnamon rolls my husband brought home sensing my stress.

My fears and stress eased up a little on Sunday, but I still had more uncertainties to quell.

After a nice breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon and toast with jam, I sidled up to another bowl of sherbet and chocolate sauce, mini-cinnamon rolls, descended on a bowl of Lucky Charms (my favor-

ite cereal, by the way), and topped it off with Safeway Chinese food.

Did eating all this really help calm me? No. But it was delicious.

I’m not sure if I’m out of the woods yet, though.

Maybe I’ll bake a cake, go crazy and have a third cup of coffee.

Seahawks will survive just fine thing good going. I think they have more to accomplish and have the drive to do so.

But there will be a lot of changes made to the team.

So far, the Seahawks have resigned defensive lineman Michael Bennett, tight end Anthony McCoy, defensive tackle Tony McDaniel, quarterback Tarvaris Jackson and kicker Steven Hauschka. The Hawks have also added wide receiver Taylor Price to the roster.

But the Hawks have made some changes that fans may not appreciate as much.

They have let go of defensive linemen Chris Clemons and Red Bryant.

[ CHARGES from page 1]

that Allison communicated with a minor about subjects of a sexual nature. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is insufficient evidence to prove that crime here,â&#x20AC;? the prosecutor wrote.

Part of the issue came from the girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s age. The age of consent in Washington is 16, meaning it would be legal for Allison to talk about sexual issues.

When contacted by The Reporter following the prosecutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision, Allison said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;My family and I are relieved to have all of this behind us and I look forward to focusing on the many challenges that face the city of Maple Valley.â&#x20AC;?

He added: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still important for the driving school to learn from this lesson as I have. At my direction, we have installed security cameras in the vehicles to ensure students have the safest possible learning experience.â&#x20AC;?

At a City Council retreat on March 15, members of the Maple Valley City Council asked Allison to temporarily step down as mayor over the allegations. Allison refused.

No action or public discussion of the allegations occurred at the Maple Valley City Council meeting Monday.

The founder and owner of I-5 Driving School, Ryan Ryals, wrote in an email Tuesday, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Allison is on administrative leave while we investigate the allegation.â&#x20AC;?

told to police, though he acknowledged three innocent versions of her allegations did occur.

Those were when the juvenile female claimed Allison made an inappropriate sexual inference about her riding on a skateboard, about a wallet sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d left in her lap while driving and when she inadvertently brushed against Allisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chest when she reached into the back seat.

Allison also denied the making the flirting comment.

The girl told investigators she felt comfortable speaking with Allison about issues she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell her parents. She said she initially thought he was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;cool adultâ&#x20AC;? and they would play question and answer games in the car. The girl said that led to Allison asking if â&#x20AC;&#x153;she was trustworthyâ&#x20AC;? and to sexual discussions.

She told a school official she did not want Allison to get into trouble.

The detectiveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report stated Allison said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;kids do open up to him when driving in the carâ&#x20AC;? but he denied any â&#x20AC;&#x153;inappropriate sexual conversationâ&#x20AC;? with the girl or any other student.

Although the detectiveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report indicated another female was rumored to have had similar experiences, no additional juveniles made any disclosure of inappropriate conversations of behavior

by Allison.

The deputy prosecutor wrote in the document that the state needed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt

I recently rediscovered my favorite TV show, â&#x20AC;&#x153;One Tree Hill,â&#x20AC;? and started watching the entire series.

When I sit and think of the Seattle Seahawks champion season, a line from the show comes to mind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every song ends, is that any reason not to enjoy the music?â&#x20AC;?

The same can be applied to the Hawks.

The Hawks are NFL champions; they set out to go all the way and they accomplished their goal.

The city, almost two months later, is still buzzing about that win. Blue and green can still be seen all around town and that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to change any time soon.

The Hawks have some-

Reach Senior Reporter Eric Mandel at emandel@covingtonreporter.com or 425-4321209 ext. 5054.

Others to say goodbye include wide receiver Golden Tate, right tackle Breno Giacomini, defensive tackle Clinton McDonald, cornerback Walter Thurmond and cornerback Brandon Browner.

All have signed with other teams.

For as long as I can remember, fans have hated it when players leave for more money. But why should we stop them from going or be mad that they did and act like poor sports when they return on an opposing team?

A lot of players say they will never leave for more money and most of the times they do just that.

But can we blame them?

Playing professional sports is a business. When they leave, it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t because

they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like it here. It is because they have been offered a raise somewhere else.

The Seahawks are evolving and changing and we should let them. Coach Pete Carroll and General Manager John Schneider, along with the rest of the Seahawks organization, did a great job putting together the 2014 Super Bowl champion team, so why not let them work their magic again and put together an even better team for next season.

The Seahawks proved it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t impossible to win a Super Bowl if you put your all into it and who is to stay they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to do it again.

Like our great quarterback Russell Wilson says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why not us?â&#x20AC;?

Maple Valley CERT Members Train T-Mobile Emergency Response Team By: Kathy Wooley, CERT Lead

In addition to teaching classes in Maple Valley, the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) has taken on the task of training the Emergency Response Team (ERT) for T-Mobile, which is comprised of 190 members. Maple Valley CERT plans to use the funds earned from providing this training to purchase much needed equipment and supplies for use in our local community.

The ERT will be trained in the complete CERT curriculum. This training will provide them with the skills they need to assist their co-workers in an emergency situation and to carry out those skills at home to help their families, neighbors, and local communities in the event of a disaster.

These skills include triage, medical treatment, light search and rescue, fire suppression and utility controls.

In addition, Incident Command System, disaster psychology, local hazards, emergency communication and terrorism modules are also included in the training.

“With thousands of employees working from our headquarters buildings in Bellevue, our employees’ safety is a very high priority,” said Yasmin Armstrong, Emergency Response Team Committee Chairperson, T-Mobile US. “We have a long history of training hundreds of our headquarters-based Emergency Response Team (ERT) members, and the partnership with Maple Valley CERT is critical to our ongoing, continuous training efforts.”
