Firefighters learn the ins and outs of trench rescue

BY ERIC MANDEL

A house fire is considered high risk and high frequency in the fire department world. There’s a science and familiarity with the scenes that give firefighters a calm during the chaos.

Trench rescues are a different story.

There are roughly 100 deaths from trench rescues in the US each year, according to Capt. Kyle Ohashi with the Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority. The relatively low number classifies the rescues as “high risk, low frequency” occurrences. But the rarity of the event adds to the danger. A trench rescue call will really make a firefighter sweat.

The Tahoma School District cleared one more hurdle in the process of building a new high school.

The King County Council Budget and Fiscal Management Committee unanimously sent a recommendation to the County Council to pass Reagan Dunn an ordinance authorizing the sale of a part of the Summit Pit or Donut Hole property to the school district.

The ordinance would sell 35 of the 156 acres of the county property to the school district for a new high school, athletic fields [ more SALE page 2 ]

Tahoma High land sale gets ‘do pass’

Chick-fil-A looking at Covington location Watch out for flying cows, Covington.

The southern fast food chain Chick-fil-A, known for its fried chicken sandwiches, popular ad campaign of enlightened cows pleading for humans to “Eat Mor Chikin” and controversial stance on same-sex marriage, is considering a location in Covington.

COVINGTON The restaurant has a diehard following of fried poultry lovers, with more than 1,800 stores in 40 states around the country.

Washington has been Chickfil-A free since the branch at Western Washington University in Bellingham closed in mid2011, but the company recently announced three new stores

“These things are much less predictable,” said Ohashi, watching on as members of the South King County Fire Training Consortium held a trench rescue training on Sept. 10.

Upwards of 100 firefighters from the consortium were trained, including members if the Maple Valley and Kent departments, from Sept. 9-12.

Trench rescues are complex, and involve constructing support panels, checking for underground gasses and pressurizing cylinders.

Much of the training is based on learning to enter a trench safely.

While coworkers and family might react to a collapsed ditch scenario by diving in after a victim, this type of action usually snowballs towards additional

problems. Firefighters are trained to take the more cautious and safe route.

“You follow the rules and reduce the chance of injuries and death,” Ohashi said. “We either do it right or don’t do it at all.”

Live trench training is an annual requirement and is different than the work done during the deadly Oso mudslide in March.

In Oso, rescue personnel could mainly only scour through the muddy wreckage for bodies.

The trench scenario simulated a worker trapped by a 2,000 pound section of pipe in a 9-foot deep trench. Among other things, the technical rescue firefighters practiced reinforcing the sides of the trench and lifting the pipe to free the worker.

The Consortium trains in multiple specialized areas, including swift water rescue, high angle rope rescue and structural collapse.

The legislation was introduced

by King County Councilman Reagan Dunn who represents the school district and Maple Valley area on the council.

“This legislation is one step closer to final action by the County Council,” Dunn said in a release. “Once passed, it will help pave the way to fulfilling the will of the voters in the Tahoma School District to begin construction of a much needed new high school. I will continue to work with my colleagues on the council to ensure its timely passage.”

The ordinance is expected to move to the full council for consideration at the Sept. 29 meeting.

Kevin Patterson, spokesman for the Tahoma School District, said the ordinance and sale of the property is, “the linchpin so we

Along with the 35 acres the county owns, the school district is in the process of negotiating with Maple Valley to purchase

20 acres owned by the city adjacent to Donut Hole. The district would build joint-use athletic fields and more parking.

According to Patterson there is room for student parking on

[ CHICK-FIL-A from page 1] would be opening next spring in Bellevue, Lynnwood and Tacoma.

Kim Hardcastle, who works for Chick-fil-A’s public relations firm, said the company is always evaluating potential new locations.

“We would very much like to become a member of more communities in the Puget Sound area, including Covington,” she wrote in an email. “However, at this time, we are only able to confirm three locations planned for 2015 in Bellevue, Lynnwood and Tacoma.”

A Chick-fil-A representative met with city staff for pre-application on Aug. 27 to look at an existing fast food restaurant site on Southeast 272nd Street, which has a lease expiring in October, to go through a checklist of codes that include sewer and water requirements and zoning.

Salina Lyons, Covington’s Principal Planner, said this is “absolutely early on” in the process. Lyons said the company will decide if the site could work for them before they’d officially submit a business application.

“That could be six to eight months from now, or three months or a year from now,” she said. “We’re here to provide information to them (so) they can make decisions.”

In 2012, Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy publicly stated his opposition to gay mar-

the 35 acres, but the additional 20 acres would be used for faculty and visitor parking and a bus loop drop-off.

Patterson said the plan is to have the property purchases

completed no later than the end of the year and break ground in the spring.

“We greatly appreciate the committee’s action today to move the proposed property sale forward to the full council,” Tahoma School District Superintendent Rob Morrow said in the county release.

“The new high school at Summit Pit is critical to the district’s ability to provide needed student capacity and to do so in a central location desired by our community.”

Morrow said he hopes the county sale can be competed by mid-November.

The district would utilize district funds and a contribution from the state of Washington to meet the $9 million purchase price.

The price tag for the 20 acres of city property has not been released.

riage following reports that the restaurants had donated to charities that promote traditional marriage. This led to anti Chick-fil-A petitions, boycotts and protests around the country. In opposition, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee created a Chick-filA Appreciation Day, which reportedly led to record-breaking sales for the company.

Controversial or not, Lyons said it is not the city’s job to vet applicants.

“The city doesn’t pick and choose who goes where,” she said. “...If they meet the code, they meet the code.”

In other fast food news, construction is underway for a new Wendy’s restaurant at the previous site of the 76 gas station along Kent-Kengley Road, across from Fred Meyer. Lyons told The Reporter in May that demolition of the gas station was expected to start in June. She did know why demolition was delayed.

“That’s all on Wendy’s side,” she said. “The permits have been waiting. It’s their construction sequencing that drives it.”

Spain.

Later we all sat outside and enjoyed the ambiance a nighttime campfire affords for about 10 minutes, until the kids drug out all the spare blankets from the house to the yard so they could star gaze.

As they all lay lined up next to each other with their faces pointed toward the sky, star gazing seemed a relative experience. Their cell phones and iPods were held in front of their faces, arms extended from their horizontal position, blocking the stars at which they claimed to be gazing as they attempted to downloaded “apps” onto their devices that told them what they were looking at.

Saturday morning I made pancakes, set out strawberries I prepared earlier in the week, whipped cream, syrup and peanut butter. My husband and I surreptitiously ate before I let the girls know breakfast was ready. It felt like the morning we got married and snuck off to a coffee shop for a bit of time alone before anyone missed us and the day’s activities began.

After I fed them, I gathered up all the socks, shoes, cell phones and other items they shed as they moved through the house. I picked up the bedding, threw the star-gazing blankets in the wash, put the computer/craft room back in

order, unloaded and loaded the dishwasher for the third time, scrubbed a few pans, then found myself with nothing to do and no physical place to be because teenagers are everywhere.

So we left. It is truly the biggest advantage of having teenage birthday parties, we can leave them alone; as long as you trust them not to destroy the house while you’re gone.

We sat and ate inside a fast food restaurant, went to Home Depot and yes, preferred disagreeing over the best way to handle domestic repairs instead of being home. On the way back we stopped at every yard sale we happened across; all to avoid being at the house with a crowd of teenagers which seemed to get bigger with each meal tossed at them.

Even though I knew it would be over sooner than later, it was still difficult to return home, realizing they may not be gone yet. They weren’t, so I hid out in my bedroom until it seemed like a good time to suggest the party wrap up.

And just as quickly as they came, they were gone, my daughter driving them all home. No, there is nothing like a teen birthday party, or escaping from one.

TWO ROCK CREEK SELECT ATHLETES PLAY IN BASEBALL SHOWCASE Two members of the Rock Creek Select 14U team in Ravensdale were selected to participate in the USA-NTIS Showcase in Cary, North Carolina.

After tryouts in Washington, Hunter Jenkins and Austin Ohland joined Team Northwest, which represented the Pacific Northwest, according to Dave Smart with Rock Creek.

Smart said Jenkins played first base, third base and catcher, while batting .500 for the tournament. Ohland, a catcher, threw four runners out trying to steal, Smart said.

Around 10:30 Saturday morning, my husband and I decided to go run a couple errands. OK, we were actually escaping from the teen girls who had descended on our house the night before. My youngest daughter had her 17th birthday party, which usually includes a sleepover with several of her closest friends.

For the most part, teen parties are pretty simple. No goodie bags to send home with the party-goers, no party games required, just throw food at them and they’re good to go.

But it’s a lot of teen for an adult psyche to handle. They aren’t problem children, but there are excessive amounts of squealing, laughing and general silliness. But aside from the food preparation, it doesn’t require a lot of work.

I make the food, set it on the table, announce its readiness and get out of the way. After dinner, I set out a spread of everything any teen girl would want on her ice cream sundae, then flattened myself against the wall as the stampede of teenage girls rumbled in like a herd of bulls in

NON-HODGKIN’S LYMPHOMA Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a type of cancer that starts in the body’s lymphatic system, the network that spreads out through the body that serves to fight off infection. The lymphatic system consists of lymph nodes that are found throughout the body with collections in the neck, underarms, chest, abdomen, and groin area. The tonsils, thymus, and spleen are also part of the lymphatic system, and there is lymph tissue in the stomach, skin, and small intestine as well.

When cancer strikes this system, because of the fact that it is so spread out, it can originate anywhere. Symptoms include swollen lymph nodes, chest and abdominal pain, fatigue, fever, night sweats, and weight loss.

Treatment for non- Hodgkin’s lymphoma depends on the stage of the disease, the type of lymphoma, the size of the tumor and its location, and your overall health. Your doctor will work with you and your medical team (which may include an oncologist, a hematologist, and an oncology nurse) to come up with your treatment plan.

engagement rings in 2012. The average was more than $5,300 in 2006.

The blunders of ring shopping

I figured it was just one of those classic jeweler jokes.

The ring specialist, an older, gentle looking man, had emerged from the back room and sat down in front of me.

“Sorry I’ve been back there so long,” he said, matter-of-factly. “The stone popped out of the setting and now I can’t find it.”

I smile and laugh. He is too calm to be serious.

Though he is sweating rather profusely.

“Wait, are you serious?”

I ask, my smile slipping.

“Oh yeah, it just popped out,” he replied. “I’m sure it will show up though. Couldn’t have gone too far.”

This was not the news I’d wanted to hear.

My easygoing, moderately paced engagement plan had already taken an unexpected turn. My hopefully-future-fiance, Laura, had recently been notified that she’d be deployed to Africa to help with the Ebola outbreak (a different story for a different time). That left me with five days to complete my multi-month find-the-absolutely-perfect ring process before she left. Assuming, of course, my twilight blue Montana sapphire surfaced from this apparent gemstone Bermuda Triangle.

I don’t mention the specific sapphire I eventually proposed with to brag — mainly because it wasn’t that expensive. But, I must admit, I’ve become relatively proficient in the jewelry department over the last four or five months.

My good friend’s mom is a jeweler in Pennsylvania and she’s always been brilliant when picking out necklaces, earrings and charms for Laura in the past. I’d planned to lean on her. A lot. Too Staff Writer Eric Mandel

much. Actually, I’d hoped she’d just immediately send me Laura’s ideal ring without me having to do anything.

I quickly discovered that isn’t how engagement ring shopping works.

I’d worked at a jewelry store in high school, but never actually internalized any of the information. After months of stressing over rose gold vs. white gold, and half bezels and princess cuts, I felt that I’d mastered the bling basics.

Knowing that Laura wanted something a bit understated, I asked her how big a diamond is too big.

“Oh, I don’t want a diamond at all,” she told me.

Apparently, Laura read an article about De Beers and the billion dollar marketing scam they’d managed to pull on the world. She may have told me these feelings before, but I thought they were simply a reaction to reading the ar-

ticle. Turns out they were a steadfast belief.

Just my luck, the girl of my dreams doesn’t want me spending thousands of dollars on a diamond. Well, seriously, though. That meant starting over.

I eventually re-started the process and ordered a few separated pieces, hoping to mix and match for a winner. They arrived in the mail alongside the news of Laura’s deployment.

Decisions are not my forte, but this made the choice easy: Put the pieces I had together as fast as possible.

Thus, as the Seattle jeweler explained pricing and possibilities to me, disregarding the fact that my center stone was nowhere to be found, a lady rushed through the door with my blue baby in her hand. She’d found it laying in the far corner.

The jeweler grabbed the stone and made an audible sigh of relief. Then he looked up at me and quipped, “Hey, at least we know it rolls well.”

A new book by John Dean digs deeper into the machinations that felled an American president 40 years ago and left an imprint on the practice of politics today.

Dean traces the political scandal from the Watergate officebuilding break-in to Richard M. Nixon’s resignation with the aid of 600 secretly recorded conversations that had previously only been listened to by those at the National Archives.

Dean got them transcribed for “The Nixon Defense: What He Knew and When He Knew It,” arguably the most complete narrative. It tells how a smart, savvy man with a proven history of political resilience let a bungled burglary destroy his presidency.

“People in Washington (D.C.) throw Watergate around and really don’t have a clue about it,” Dean said in a phone interview. He was the White House lawyer whose Senate testimony helped force

Regular readers of this column have learned during the past three weeks about Robert Gates’ views of government gleaned from his recent book, “Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War.” Being something of an optimist, I found inspiration and hope for this country from a man, who, as secretary of defense, was able to wage simultaneous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and at the same time successfully battle Congress and the Pentagon to at least partial victory over politics and parochial bureaucracy to the benefit of America’s soldiers who were fighting and dying for their country.

Because of these columns a friend gave me a book to read called “America’s Stolen Narrative” by Robert Parry. Parry is an award-winning investigative journalist who has written for both the Associated Press and Newsweek during his 35-year career. His book reframes recent American history from Nixon to the present.

My procedure when reading controversial books is to read book reviews and critiques before I read the books. I do this to give me a sense of understanding In Focus

out Nixon. “This will tell them. It fills the gaps. To me, there is no unanswered question about Watergate.”

For some there is still one gap — who’s responsible for erasing 18 and one-half minutes of conversation between Nixon and H.R. “Bob” Haldeman three days after the break-in.

Dean offers a short list of suspects. But at this point it doesn’t seem necessary because the subject matter is crystal clear, given all the conversations those two would have in the ensuing months.

“I have concluded that, in the end, while there is no absolute proof about who did it, there really is no mystery at all about what was erased,” Dean writes in the book. “And then who did it is not as important as what was erased.”

Dean’s hands aren’t clean, and in May 1973 he informed Nixon of cascading events which threatened to envelop the president in a political crisis.

His reward? Nixon began trying to lay the blame on Dean and use his counsel as a shield against the unceasing bombardment of revelations that eventually collapsed his presidency.

Dean knew Nixon’s motives then and had them reconfirmed by what he heard on the additional tapes. There’s no anger.

“Not at all,” he said. “I know how the story ended. I just let the tapes tell the tale.”

...healthy living

Physically, where will you be in 10 years?

By Bruce deJong and Stephanie Norton-Bredl The beginning of the school year is a good time to review your 2014 fitness goals and reset positive routines for yourself and family. This month we invite you to consider moving from a seasonal approach to health and fitness and consider adopting a long-term view. Specifically, what do you want to be physically capable of doing in the next five to 10 years?

The benefit of this perspective is that it acknowledges that the pursuit of health and fitness is a lifelong journey.

This perspective was reinforced when my wife and I were driving to the Washington State Fair last week and my normally bubbly wife, Cathy, sol-

On Sunday, Oct. 5 from 9:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. a blood drive will take place at the Zion Lutheran Church, located at 25105 132nd Ave. SE in Kent.

The second drive is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 21 running from 3-7 p.m. at the Covington Safeway, 17023 SE 272nd St.

4) Proper conditioning: To prevent injuries, teaching proper routines to warm up and cool down during practice helps to eliminate the number of injuries. According to Mary Bridge, 62 percent of injuries occur

during practices rather than games.

5) Hydration: Athletes should be encouraged to drink water before, after and during.

6) Rest: If young athletes are extremely tired and in pain, they should be encouraged to rest rather than continue to play.

With the new school year and fall season under way, it is important to know information regarding the safety of the young players.

According to MultiCare’s Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital & Health Center’s website, roughly 3.5 million children are treated for sports related injuries per year.

Below are six safety tips from their website that the Mary Bridge Center for Childhood Safety urges all coaches, parents and league organizers to know and be aware of.

1) Pre-season medical screening: Every player should get an annual physical evaluation prior to the season beginning. Washington requires all students participating in organized sports to do so every two years.

Prior to visiting the doctor for the physical, it is important to make a list of questions you have for the doctor, a list of an chronic medical problems, past orthopedic problems, current medications, family history and any history of a concussion.

2) Safety gear: All student athletes should have access to well-maintained safety equipment both during practice and during games.

3) Qualified coaching: Sports programs with coaches trained in

a priority until a catastrophic illness or injury diminishes their physical capabilities and quality of life.

Change starts with something new and making a commitment to be healthy in later years can be the motivation to strive for daily physical activity.

In establishing your healthy habits, consider these tips: 1. Keep it simple. It’s difficult to change too many things at once. Focus on goals that are realistic. If you never exercise, five days a week may be a stretch, but a goal to walk twice a week would be easier to achieve.

2. Recruit a support team. We recommend recruiting a buddy, a mentor and a cheerleader. This can be the same person but three different people is ideal. It’s easy

to find a friend, family member or colleague with similar goals to be a buddy. A mentor is someone you could go to for advice, perhaps someone who has made the changes you hope to make. Your cheerleader is just that, someone who will celebrate your accomplishments with you. Family can often play many of these roles.

3. Think about your goals, write them down and visualize what it will be like to achieve them.

4. There will always be things in life that interfere with your goals to be healthier, faster or stronger. It’s OK to get off track as long as you don’t get derailed. Think about what you will do to get back on track before life gets in the way.

5. Finally, think about what you can contribute

to your family, your workplace, your community as a healthier, more vibrant you. Discuss your goals with your family and friends and ask them why it’s important. Talking about the benefits of a healthier lifestyle helps everyone build a deeper commitment to the process.

Best wishes for your continued success and have a “fair” day!

The three shrubs stopping traffic in local gardens

ROSE OF SHARON (HARDY HIBISCUS)

shrub but the best behaved with eye-catching blooms in my garden is a reliable Rose of Sharon variety called “Helene� with snow white blooms accented with a deep red eye. Drought and cold resistant, this shrub gives a tropical look to any garden and can be grown in a large pot as a patio plant. The naked truth is that the Hibiscus syriacua varieties lose their foliage early in the fall and don’t grow new leaves until late spring.

This means you are left with a leafless shrub at least six months of the year. My solution is to use the woody frame as a support for spring flowering vines. Clematis makes a great partner for many shrubs but is an especially useful vine for draping through a naked hibiscus. Look for hardy hibiscus in shades of purple and lavender blue as well as hybrids with double and huge single blooms. Don’t prune the Rose of Sharon hibiscus shrub in the fall – it is a bit cold sensitive and prefers never to be pruned. If you must shape it up just remove any awkward branches in late spring after all danger of frost has passed.

Marianne Binetti

The Compleat Home Gardener

The middle of September marks the start of the fall gardening season but you also need to keep spring blooms in mind. Rhododendrons and azaleas are making flower bud this month so keep them watered for maximum spring bloom. Hydrangeas are also making flowers for next summer so avoid cutting back your hydrangeas in the fall.

September is also the perfect time of year to dig and divide all types of iris.

Don’t be afraid to lift the clumps right out of the ground and snip off the foliage, leaving just a few inches of leaf.

Use a sharp knife to separate the rhizomes and toss out the oldest, middle section of the roots. Replant these iris roots but don’t bury the rhizomes too deep – they should be just below the surface of the soil. Any iris plants that have failed to bloom will have a fresh outlook on life after division and will reward you with renewed vigor in the spring. Dividing in September is good for all types of iris, the bearded, the species and the Pacific Coast iris.

Here are the top three shrubs stopping traffic in local gardens – you can find them at local nurseries this month and, once planted, they will give you years of color each autumn when the rest of your plants are growing faded and summer weary.

SMOKE TREES (COTINUS COGGYGRIA) The “Royal Purple� smoke tree is the most common variety but the lime green foliage of the “Golden Spirit� smoke tree will also add a pop of color to a sunny garden bed. The name smoke tree refers to the dry panicles or seed heads that arise from the plant in late summer and look a bit like puffs of smoke emerging from the leaves. This is the perfect

There are a bunch of new varieties of this old-fashioned

Sept. 20 -Chamber of Commerce Business Expo

plant for dry soil, rocky soil or areas where you do not want to irrigate. If left unpruned the smoke tree will grow into a small but rather boxy looking tree. You can also keep this shrub compact by cutting it to the ground every spring. In England the smoke tree is used in perennial borders as a backdrop for summer flowers, especially in the back of the border where it might never get water. Add more drama without more drinking to your smoke tree by underplanting it with silver foliage plants LIKE lamb’s ear, dusty miller or lavender. Another tidy option is to pile gray stones around the base of this sun loving plant as a weed block.

ORNAMENTAL PURPLE-LEAF GRAPE (VITIS VINIVERA ‘PURPUREA’) This magnificent vine is worth searching for at local nurseries as the eye-popping color from the deep purple leaves begins in August and continues until frost. The small grapes themselves are not edible but the foliage and good manners of this vine makes up for the weak and random production of sour-tasting fruit. Train this vine to grow up the trunk of a white birch tree or to festoon an old stump or garden shed. The rich color comes when you most need it in the early autumn garden. In my garden I grow the ornamental grape vine in a mostly shaded site but it really prefers full sun for the most intense leaf color. You can cut this vine almost to the ground in early spring or let it reach for the sky and scramble through your entire garden.

Ornamental purple leaf grape vines are breathtakingly beautiful when planted with purple asters and the dusky

www.covingtonreporter.com • www.maplevalleyreporter.com [ ELFERS from page 4 ] of the counterpoints to think about. I’m searching for the full story that will give me a sense of balance and moderation. This time I didn’t find any book reviews that refuted Parry’s facts even though it was published in 2012.

Parry’s theme is that Nixon, Reagan, both the Bushes and Robert Gates helped to undermine the political system in a series of what he calls “October Surprises” to swing the vote from Democratic candidates to Republicans just before the general elections in November.

When I picked up the book, I was leery about a Democratic tar and feathering of men I greatly respected as public servants: George H.W. Bush and Robert Gates. To my chagrin, the evidence presented tended to undermine my strongly held impressions.

Nixon’s “October Surprise” came during the Vietnam Conflict in 1968 and set the precedent for Ronald Reagan doing his own “October Surprise” in 1980. Nixon contacted South Vietnamese government leader Nguyen van Thieu using Henry Kissinger and Anna Chennault, a member of Nixon’s campaign team, as his intermediaries to destroy the peace process for President Johnson’s Paris peace initiative with the Viet Cong. Doing this

would swing the vote in his favor over his Democratic opponent, Hubert Humphrey. Had news of peace in Vietnam come just before the election, it is likely Humphrey would have won the election in a very tight race.

“Both Thieu and Chennault described messages from Nixon’s campaign urging the South Vietnamese to boycott Johnson’s peace talks in the crucial days before the November 5, 1968, election” (P. 52). President Johnson, who had bugged Nixon’s phones, found out about this chicanery and warned Nixon to back off. The pressure was too great, and Nixon made promises to Thieu that caused the South Vietnamese delegation to refuse to attend the Peace Conference, thus insuring Nixon’s election, but perhaps costing the lives of 30,000 Americans and many thousands of Vietnamese.

Johnson believed that what Nixon had done was tantamount to treason, but he never went public with the information, “for the good of the country” (34). Instead he gave the file to his national security advisor, Walt Rostow, who, during the Watergate Scandal of 1972-73, gave the file to the Johnson Library with instructions not to open the file for 50 years, or longer if the curator so deemed.

Because this knowledge had not been revealed, Ronald Reagan, using his allies, George H.W. Bush, Robert

Gates and the Israeli government, negotiated with the Iranians to keep the 52 American hostages until after the 1980 elections, in return for war material in their battle against Saddam Hussein. That’s why the hostages were released the day Reagan was inaugurated, according to Parry.

Had the hostages been released before the November elections, Carter would probably have won a second term and the history of this nation would have been very different.

Parry’s book was crushing to me, since people I admire and respect – George H.W. Bush and Robert Gates – were shown, under the pressure to get ahead, to have compromised their integrity. As I struggle with these feelings I’ve come to the conclusion that while their actions are inexcusable, flawed men can still do good things for the nation.

I certainly believe this is especially the case with Robert Gates and the positive things he did while secretary of defense under both Republican and Democratic presidents.

When dealing with humans, flaws and frailty are part of the equation. Seeing only the flaws or only their strengths does not portray the full picture of the individual.

Kentwood has already dropped a giant. But a win over King Kentridge does not a season make.

The SPSL 4A boys tennis conference is typically dominated by familiar schools — Thomas Jefferson and Kentridge. The Conks bounced their nemesis on Sept. 11 with a 4-1 team win.

“It hasn’t changed any of my expectations or thought process going into matches,” said Kentwood boys tennis coach Ingrid Bakke. “It lets me know that the kids are capable of playing as well as we believe we can play.”

The rematch is scheduled for Sept. 30.

“They’re awesome,” Bakke said of Kentridge. “It meant a lot to me and I hope it meant a lot to the boys that we were able to win that.”

Meanwhile, another familiar net warrior, senior Derek Welch, led Kentlake to a 2-0 start after the team notched just three wins in all of 2013. After a tough draw in districts last season, along with some early knee troubles, Welch is looking to return to the state tournament. Falcons head coach Barry Fredericks said the lefty has not been challenged his first two matches.

“We will have a better feel for where he is at after we play Curtis this Friday and Graham Kapowsin next Wednesday,” Fredericks said in an email.

Tahoma returns just one varsity player from 2013, but appears stacked for a balanced future with six seniors, two juniors, 12 sophomores and seven freshman.

The recent storms were welcomed by our thirsty landscapes. However, homeowners who water throughout the summer often do not leave the sprinklers on long enough to benefit nearby tree and shrub roots.

Watering decisions are sometimes complicated when landscapes contain lawns, shallow-rooted plants and shrubs as well as more deeply-rooted trees. Sprinkling systems that are scheduled for 10 to 15 minutes every few mornings may only wet the top few inches of soil. Less frequent, deep watering for 30 minutes or longer every

five to seven days during the hot summer months will allow water to reach the thirsty roots of most plants.

Checking soil moisture can be done by digging a small hole with a trowel before watering. Allow a few hours after the sprinklers have finished for water to soak in and then check again to determine how deep the moisture has penetrated.

The following information may help homeowners make some watering decisions for next year and to clear up a few misconceptions about root systems.

Rocky, sandy and well-drained soils may have deeper root systems because the trees have to worker harder to reach adequate moisture. Soils with a shallow layer of clay that may cause poor drainage tend to have shallower and wider spreading root systems.

Rarely do trees develop tap roots. Again, it depends upon soil conditions and the species of trees.

www.covingtonreporter.com â&#x20AC;˘ www.maplevalleyreporter.com [ TOMPKINS from page 14] Deciduous trees may have root systems that extend dozens of feet beyond the edge of a treeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crown. I once discovered an exposed root that measured more than 100 feet from the trunk of a large cottonwood tree.

SOME TREES ARE DROPPING NEEDLES. DO THEY NEED MORE WATER? Many conifers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like western red cedars, pines and fir trees â&#x20AC;&#x201C; naturally shed interior needles during the late summer and fall that are no longer functional. The shedding may be more prevalent during dry summers.

If the newest or outer growth is dying, some other problem may be involved.

Causes can range from hot or freezing weather conditions, a needle disease, insect attacks, a root disease or a combination of several factors. If a problem appears to be severely stressing a tree, an inspection by a qualified professional may help determine if it can be treated, may spread to other trees or can be ignored.

WHY ARE SOME TREES LOSING THEIR LEAVES EARLY? The cool, moist spring created ideal conditions for the spread of various leaf diseases. Many ornamental and fruit trees suffered from minor to severe problems

that caused leaves to fall prematurely.

Flowering plums, various cherry species and others suffer from the brown rot fungus, â&#x20AC;&#x153;shot holeâ&#x20AC;? fungus and aphid attacks.

Some trees may experience complete defoliation and sometimes will grow a new crop of leaves that are disease-free because the spore-spreading season has passed.

THIS COULD BE

YOUR CHILD.

WHAT ABOUT NEXT SPRING? Many trees that suffered this year may have normal growth next spring. However, the above mentioned diseases usually reoccur each year. When considering treatments, it is absolutely critical to properly identify a problem and to apply the appropriate treatment at the right time.

Professionals can be consulted for advice.

Another excellent source of information is the WSU â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hortsenseâ&#x20AC;? web site. It describes many problems and their treatments.

Master Gardener clinics and programs offer diagnostic services and control recommendations.

Tahoma Community News Tahoma School District 409, serving the greater Maple Valley community School news at a glance

%RQG IXQGV SD\ IRU QHZ URRIV VLGLQJ Tahoma schools began receiving improvements during the summer as a result of the November 2013 construction bond measure approved by nearly 70 percent of voters.

Here is a quick review of work completed during the summer: â&#x20AC;˘ New roofs: Rock Creek Elementary, Cedar River Middle School, Central Services Center. â&#x20AC;˘ New siding: Rock Creek Elementary, Glacier Park Elementary, Cedar River Middle School, Central Services Center. â&#x20AC;˘ New lighting: All schools are getting new, energy-efÂżcient outdoor lighting, paid for with a state energy grant. â&#x20AC;˘ New HVAC controls: Improvements are being made to most schoolsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; heating and ventilating systems.

The biggest bond project, construction of a new Tahoma High School, is scheduled to break ground next spring and be completed in time for school to begin in September 2017.

(QUROOPHQW ULVHV The Âżrst enrollment count of the year shows 7,786 students in Tahoma schools, an increase of 172 students since school ended in June.

'LVWULFW HPEUDFHV Âś)XWXUH 5HDG\¡ 9LDEOH FDUHHU SODQ LV SURJUDP¡V JRDO Ask any student, parent, or teacher in the Tahoma School District what sets Tahoma schools apart from others, and you would get a variety of answers. Ask that same question a couple of years from now, and Superintendent Rob Morrow hopes all those responses would in some way relate to the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Future Readyâ&#x20AC;? plan.

Although the ideas behind Future Ready have been in the works for several years, the program is getting an ofÂżcial rollout this fall. The Future Ready initiative will offer students a variety of experiences from kindergarten through 12th grade that all work toward one goal: a viable post-graduation plan for each individual student, whether that includes a technical program, the military, a four-year school or something else entirely. Parents and community members will hear more about Future Ready and what it might look like at each Tahoma school site throughout the coming year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want every student to be thinking about what they want for their life,â&#x20AC;? Dawn Wakeley, executive director of Teaching and Learning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a broad picture.â&#x20AC;?

About 400 people have already been involved in the formation, description and deÂżnition of what it means to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;Future Readyâ&#x20AC;? in Tahoma, including students, parents, business leaders, community members, school staff members, teachers and administrators.

A key piece of bringing Future Ready to its full efÂżciency in the district will be the new high school and regional learning center, which will include more extensive technical programs such as auto mechanics, state-of-theart science labs and community college offerings in cooperation with Green River College and Renton Technical College.

Morrow explained that the Future Ready skills are as important as academic skills in life after graduation. A potential employer may or may not ask what a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s test scores were, but every smart business owner wants employees who are quality producers, responsible decision makers, collaborative teammates and conscientious workers. About 550 students graduate from Tahoma each year, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to hand them just a diploma â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we want to hand them a future at the same time.â&#x20AC;?

A call for proposals will be issued this fall for a design and construction team that will create a plan to remodel Lake Wilderness, which is the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest elementary school.

Planners will make recommendations to the school board to remodel or rebuild the school in order to reduce its enrollment capacity to 550. The school is twice that size now.

Detailed planning for school remodeling could not take place until after bond money was available and until planning was underway for the new high school.

District ofÂżcials hope to have preliminary plans by spring.

Designers will look at how to do as many improvements as possible to the school prior to completion of the new high school, which will make it possible to move students out of Lake Wilderness because schools will be reconÂżgured and more classroom space will be available.
