Elk Run closing as Donut Hole sale becomes reality Covington to nullify impact fee denial BY REBECCA GOURLEY
rgourley@maplevalleyreporter.com
The Elk Run golf course and restaurant will be permanently closing its doors Sunday, Oct. 19. Earlier this year, King County bought out the golf courses’s lease on part of the Donut Hole property and gave the owners notice to vacate the property by the end of the year. Because it’s going to take time to demolish buildings and remove their infrastructure, they are closing up shop now, MAPLE according to Roy VALLEY Humphreys, general manager and co-owner. Humphreys and his co-owner Daryl Connell still own the golf course land west of 228th Avenue, approximately 70 acres according to parcel maps. When asked why they were closing the entire course, Humphreys said, “(Nine-hole golf courses) are just not economically feasible.” There are no official plans in the works for the remaining land but they are working on a couple of ideas. It’s likely there will some kind of residential development in place of the golf course, according to

Kentwood volleyball full of young talent BY REBECCA GOURLEY rgourley@maplevalleyreporter.com
Young aspiring volleyball players flocked to the Kentwood High School gym Oct. 10 to better their skills in the sport. With the help from the current volleyball players and their head coach Bil Caillier, the 60 or so young athletes received a crash course in proper passing form, spiking footwork and setting. Among the instructors for the evening was starting varsity libero, Aleina Gabriel. Even though she’s a sophomore, it’s Gabriel’s first year as a Conk. She spent her freshman year at Holy Names Academy, an

all-girls, private Catholic high school in Seattle. She also played libero at Holy Names, but she was on the junior varsity team. Gabriel was elated to find out she had made it onto the varsity team at Kentwood and even more so that she was starting the first game as libero, or the primary defense specialist. She averages about 5-6 digs per set. To put that in perspective, University of Washington’s libero, Cassie Strickland, averaged about 2.9 digs per set in 2013. Gabriel’s talent is not just noticed by her own coach, either. “She stands out enough in most matches that the coaches and referees have commented about her skill,” Caillier said in an email. Her transition to Kentwood, Gabriel says, has been a big one. Not only in terms of playing on the varsity volleyball team, but the school itself is a whole lot bigger. Holy Names has a total enrollment this year of 690, while Kentwood enrolls about 2,000 - which [ more TALENT page 9 ]

The city of Covington appears ready to move forward with granting an impact fee waiver for a pair of apartment complexes despite opposition from the Kent School District. The apartment complexes are part of Covington’s proposed Town Center project. The Kent School District Board of Directors denied a request Oct. 8 by the Inland Group for a reduction on school impact fees for the Polaris apartment buildings it plans to build for the Town Center project. The development would be located adjacent to Covington Elementary School. Richard Hart, Covington community development director, said Tuesday that he sent a decision to the city’s attorney that would disregard the school district’s [ more FEES page 6 ]

City on tight deadline to sell land BY REBECCA GOURLEY
rgourley@maplevalleyreporter.com
Maple Valley city officials have two weeks to decide if they will sell at least a portion of a plot of land to the Tahoma School District for the construction of an additional parking lot for the district’s new high school. Tahoma school board member Tim Adam said they need to have access to at least part of the property in order to start the permitting process. The portion of land in question is about 7.7 acres, instead of the entire 19.8 acres they need to complete their project. This partial land acquisition would allow the school to build an access road on the East side of the new high school and about 200 faculty parking stalls, but no athletic fields. At Monday night’s City Council meeting, a public hearing was held in regards to the potential for an interlocal agreement between the city and the district for use of the future athletic facilities. Councilwoman Erin Weaver
POLICE TO EMPHASIZE ‘PARTY PATROLS’ Extra police officers will be patrolling the city on Oct. 18 in an effort to reduce instances of teen drinking parties in connection with the Tahoma High School Homecoming dance, according to the Maple Valley Police Department. Maple Valley police have historically emphasized “party patrols” during Tahoma homecoming dances and proms. The department said in a press release that extra officers will be responding to party complaints called into 911 and will also be focused on finding impaired drivers. The police generally respond with a zero tolerance on these emphasis nights to juveniles consuming alcohol and incidents of driving under the influence. Police say officers will also arrest and prosecute adults who furnish teens with alcohol or provide a premises for teen drinking, both violations of Washington State law. “We believe in party patrol because it’s a direct way for the police to help protect our teens from the temptation to consume alcohol and potentially get behind the wheel of a car,” Maple Valley Police Chief DJ Nesel said in the release. “Party patrol saves lives.”

wish to delay the district’s efforts in the planning and construction of it. If the council decides to sell the 7.7 acres to the district, the remaining 12.1 acres could still be sold as well, but the latter is not likely to happen before Oct. 31. Acquisition of the remaining land, the district stated, is not necessary for them to move forward. Community members will have an opportunity to comment on the sale of the property at the public hearing scheduled for Oct. 27 at 7 p.m.

In the agreement, he said, he will include that the city will have access to the athletic facilities that will be built on the west side of the new campus and the parking lot on the east side.

The Tahoma High School Robotics FRC Team 2046, a.k.a Bear Metal, will host their third annual Girls’ Generation Robotics Competition on Oct. 18 at Tahoma Junior High School. The one-day, 24-team event is an opportunity for girls to take a front and center role as drivers, strategists and pit crew members. They will be competing in the 2014 FIRST Robotics game, “Aerial Assist” on an official FIRST field. Aerial Assist is a game where robots assist each other to move 24-inch game balls down the field and into low or high goals to score. The only difference this time around is that the drive team and pit crew members are all girls. The boys on the team are encouraged to attend and cheer on the girls of their team as they compete.

urged her colleagues to pass the agreement in its current form and then amend it at a later date, pending the sale of the property. Her urgency was because of the deadline that the district had given the city for access to the land. Weaver stated that even though an interlocal agreement is not required for a purchase and sale agreement to be signed, having one established would provide the city more assurance that they will be able to use the facilities that the district may build there. “I would not table the ILA, we need to take action and start now with an ILA and it will be amended as the property sells,” Weaver said at the meeting. Mayor Bill Allison disagreed. He said that the ILA needs to be written for the current circumstances and if an ILA is made before the property sells, it’s going to be substantially changed anyway. City Attorney Jeff Taraday suggested a compromise. In order to meet the district’s deadline of Oct. 31, he said he will work with the

Liberated from the ‘Texas of Washington’ OUR CORNER
Staff Writer Rebecca Gourley
Hello there! I’m Rebecca, the new reporter here at the paper. Yes, that means Katherine is gone. But, I will do my best to fill her shoes – I think we may even wear the same size. A little about me: Before earning my bachelor’s degree in journalism from UW (Go Dawgs!), I worked for a small weekly newspaper in Goldendale, Wash. What! You’ve never heard of it? Well, don’t feel bad, you’re not alone. It’s a very small agriculture town in the middle of nowhere. The kind you miss if you blink while driving past it. I love my hometown, but it was time to pursue a different adventure. With two years of journalism experience under my camera strap, I moved to the wet side of the mountains to get a little more book-smart. Boy, was I in for a surprise. Moving from what I like to call the “Texas of Washington” to essentially the exact opposite of that was a bit of a culture shock. But, I embraced you Western Washingtonians with open arms and I am liking the result so far. I graduated in June 2014 with a degree in journalism and a focus on environment and anthropology. I’m passionate about social issues
including public health and the environment, and I think journalism offers me a great avenue to explore those interests and share them with the world. I have an odd assortment of hobbies. I like to knit and crochet, play Super Nintendo, design websites and explore new recipes in my free time. My latest project? Crocheting pumpkin coasters for the holidays. In short, I am a techie vegan gamer and smoothie master who wants to make an impact on communities by reporting interesting stories
The power of nomination Thousands have been protesting in Hong Kong over Beijing’s assertion of its power over its election process. In 1997 Hong Kong returned to Chinese control after having been ruled as a colony by Britain since 1842. At that time China signed an agreement with Britain to allow Hong Kong a “high degree of autonomy as a special administrative region in all areas except defense and foreign affairs, which will last until 2047.” According to “Christian Science Monitor” staff writer Arthur Bright in a Sept. 28, 201, article entitled, “Hong Kong Protests 101: What’s Behind the City’s Turmoil?” the Chinese government has decided to interpret its agreement regarding Hong Kong according to its own lights. China will allow universal suffrage - the right to vote for all but the government will decide who
the three candidates will be, not the people of Hong Kong. That is what is stirring the street demonstrations. Hong Kong holds a lesson for us Americans about democracy: the power to nominate is far more important than the power to elect. In most U.S. elections, candidates are chosen through the primary process. In Washington state the top two candidates who file are selected to move on to the general election in November. The idea of the primary came out of the Progressive Era of reform of the early 20th century. Before primaries, party bosses in smoked-filled back rooms determined who the candidates would be for public office. Allowing individuals to nominate themselves wrested the power from the bosses and put the power back into the hands of the public. Now, 100 years later, that power In Focus

has shifted again. Most American voters do not participate in primaries; the figure is between 12 and 15 percent. That fact has allowed the more extreme factions of both parties to decide whom the candidates will be. These are the people who turn out to vote and, just like in what is threatened in Hong Kong, the power to nominate is far more important than who is voted in. Hong Kong voters protest because they understand what Beijing is attempting to do to them - give them the image of democracy while drawing power to themselves. The threat is real and present to them. And like the proverbial frog being cooked alive in slowly heated water, most American voters do not understand that we Americans are in the same situation as the people of Hong Kong. By largely ignoring the power to nominate through the primary system, power again has been taken by the few to control governance for the many. Hong Kong residents are lucky in some ways, because the threat of losing their democracy is obvious and real for them; for us in America, not so much.

It took a great deal of corruption to raise the awareness of Americans at the turn of the 20th century to rise up to protect their rights during the Progressive Era. Americans finally understood what Big Business was doing to them through the use of money to influence elections. They rose up and brought changes that extended and expanded democracy to preserve our rights. It seems like it will have to get a lot worse before American voters realize that, like the citizens of Hong Kong, our democracy is threatened. We are different from the people of Hong Kong in that the power to nominate still lies with us. The difference is that we American voters are often too complacent and unaware to realize that our apathy has already stripped the power from the people and given it to the extremists and the wealthy in both parties. It’s time for Americans to wake up to see the danger at our doors and act to get involved, not just in the power to vote, but more importantly in the power to nominate through the primary process.

Using a $9 million grant awarded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Public Health – Seattle & King County will lead a partnership of cities, school districts, community organizations, and businesses. The coalition will help local residents make healthy decisions, help schools provide healthier meals and more opportunities for exercise, and help cities design more bicycle- and pedestrian-friendly communities. “We will use this grant to expand our collective fight against two of the leading causes of premature death— obesity and smoking,” said King County Executive Dow Constantine. “Our proven ability to bring partners together to improve the health of our diverse communities is what set us apart in the competition for this grant.” The partnership is designed to offer communities health-

The three-year grant will fund the Partnership to Improve Community Health, or PICH, a collaboration led by Public Health – Seattle & King County, in partnership with Seattle Children’s and the Healthy King County Coalition. The grant will support Constantine’s effort to transform health and human services to focus on prevention. In particular, it will accelerate Communities of Opportunity, a partnership between King County and The Seattle Foundation designed to improve health, social, racial, and economic outcomes by focusing on specific places. Unlike the traditional one-size-fits-all approach to programs, Communities of Opportunities engages people in the community to determine the particular local needs and allows them to take ownership of the effort.

[ FEES from page 1] recommendation and would instead recommend going forward with the fee waiver at 80 percent. He said the final decision is expected to be issued sometime this week Hart said the city has reviewed its interlocal agreement with the school district and is confident that the city has the final say on determining impact fee waivers for affordable housing. “It’s very clear,” Hart said. “We have the authority to make the decision on impact fee waivers and that’s what we are doing.” Kent School Board Director Russ Hanscom is perplexed by the whole scenario. “It’s all so weird and totally inappropriate,” Hanscom said. “I don’t get it.”
www.covingtonreporter.com • www.maplevalleyreporter.com Inland Group originally requested a 100 percent waiver, which was later modified to a 90 percent reduction. In a letter to the district, Inland wrote that the fee waiver was “critical to the financial feasibility of the project.” The sides discussed multiple other options at the Oct. 8 meeting, including 50, 80 and 65 percent waivers, with various deals and accommodations thrown into the mix by the city. Chris Loftis, spokesman for the Kent School District, said the board of directors ultimately decided against any of those options for four main reasons: policy, precedent, the money itself and how granting a waiver looks politically. “It’s a tough call,” Loftis said. “We all have to work together. There is give and take in
all operations, but this was just one that the district was being asked to give more than it was prepared to give.” A 90 percent reduction would have dropped fees from $3,378 to $337.30 per 200 units. That is a potential drop in fees from $675,760 to $67,460. The amended 50 percent request would have meant $337,800 to the district. Of the expected 80 percent waiver, 10 percent would be paid by the city, the rest by Inland, Hart said. Inland Group’s proposed development includes a 156-unit age-restricted apartment community, known as Affinity, and Polaris, a 200-unit “affordable family apartments” community for low-or-moderate income households. Developers pay school impact fees as compensation for new growth that will affect school facilities. The district accepted the Senior Housing Exemption for Affinity, but took exception with the two Polaris buildings. Hanscom said he couldn’t speak for the whole board, but he is completely against the city’s decision. “I would never voluntarily give away $680,000 to a private developer,” Hanscom said. The city has already knocked off more than $1.5 million for the developer in three areas: by waiving impact traffic fees, local tax revenues for the first 12 years and some building permit fees based on property valuation. Once the city’s decision is final, Inland
can move forward, Hart said. He said Inland would like to start with site work and grading by December. Hart said he wouldn’t comment on whether there could be any reaction from the public or school district. He said it’s important not to be short-sighted in this issue, seeing the buildings as an investment in the Town Center that will increase property values and add taxes from future commercial property. “We don’t make this decision lightly,” he said. “We look at this project as critical and it does qualify for such a waiver. The key to my decision, is that are the long-term benefits for granting this waiver to the city, downtown town center and the school district.” “Covington has no affordable housing and we critically need affordable housing,” he said. Loftis said the board fully supports equity in housing, but sometimes support doesn’t mesh with realistic options. Hanscom doesn’t believe the city is looking at the whole picture, saying there will be ongoing additional costs with building a low-income complex that will be placed on the district. Beyond dollars and cents, Hart said this is a social equity issue. The city is responsible under the Growth Management Act to provide a variety of housing to all types of people.

Fire units respond to blazes Just after 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 7, Maple Valley Fire and Life Safety responded to a fire at Dance Expressions Studio in Maple Valley. The cause of the fire was electrical in nature, says Fire Marshall Scott Webster. There were no injuries reported and the damage was estimated to be about $10,000. Emergency responders used a thermal imaging camera to ensure that the fire didn’t spread any further than they could see. The dance studio will be closed until further notice.
COVINGTON HOUSE FIRE DISPLACES FAMILY No one was injured during a house fire that displaced a family of three on Oct. 1.
Kent and Maple Valley fire units responded to reports of a shed fire attached to a house located in the 17400 block of SE 256th St. in Covington a little before 2 p.m. The first arriving emergency unit reported smoke and flames from the back side of the house. Firefighters found an attached shed on fire. The flames spread into the house and attic space. One team of firefighters attacked the exterior fire while another team fought the interior fire. Firefighters declared the blaze extinguished within 20 minutes. Firefighters say the homeowner was at home working outdoors in the front of the house at the time of the fire but did not know how the fire started. The family of three living in the house were displaced by the damage. The family will stay in their recreational vehicle until repairs can be made to the house. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. No damage estimates were provided.
city officials will start the discussion of future land use for various plots throughout the city this month. This comprehensive plan will serve as a roadmap for Humphreys and Connell when they are deciding what to do with their land. Cities in Washington are required to update their comprehensive plan every five years but are allowed to make minor revisions on an annual basis. The shutting down of the golf course came as a surprise to some
[ CLOSING from page 1] Humphreys. However, “nothing has been decided yet. We’re looking at all options,” he said in a phone interview. He also said the major part of the plan will be up to the city. “The city will dictate what type of development will be done on the property,” Humphreys said. “That decision won’t be made for probably a year or so.” Steve Clark, director of public works and community development for the city of Maple Valley, says

golfers who, while practicing their putting skills at Elk Run, didn’t know it was closing in just a few days. Brian Takeuchi of Fairwood said, “That’s too bad.” He said he liked the challenge that Elk Run gave him in comparison to other golf courses in the area. “It’s not as flat,” he added. Takeuchi and a group of his coworkers from Boeing (Kent) always spend their Friday evenings after work golfing. Now, they will have to take Elk Run out of their rotation of courses to patronize.

PANCREATIC CANCER The pancreas is the organ that sits in the abdomen right behind the lower part of the stomach. Its two-fold job is to secrete enzymes that help with digestion and to release hormones that help the body regulate blood sugar. Pancreatic cancer originates in the pancreas and spreads quickly. Because it does not tend to exhibit signs or symptoms until later on in the advanced stages, pancreatic cancer has a reputation of being particularly deadly with a poor diagnosis. Pancreatic cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death. When symptoms finally do appear, they include upper abdominal pain, jaundice of the skin and eyes, weight loss, depression, and blood clots. Most of the time, the treatment of pancreatic cancer is based on its stage – how far it has spread in the body. However, other factors, such as a person’s overall health, can also affect treatment options. To schedule an appointment at Southlake Clinic, please call (253) 395-1972.

The Falcons, Conquerors and Bears combined for one win last week. Kentlake bounced back after losing two in a row and beat Kentridge Oct. 10, 56-27. The previous day, Kentwood lost its first game of the season, dropping its match up with Federal Way, 14-10. On Saturday, Tahoma lost its second game in a row, falling to Kent Meridian 42-36.

The Falcons took an early lead over the Chargers two minutes into the game thanks to a 34yard run by junior James George. The Chargers tied the game at seven late in the first quarter. Kentlake added to the lead in the second quarter with two more touchdowns: a 23-yard pass from junior Trey Helgeson to senior Matt Burley
KENTWOOD The Conks first loss of the year came in a nonleague game against Federal Way. Federal Way scored first but Kentwood answered in the first quarter on an eight-yard run by Brian Campbell. Neither team scored in the second quarter and Kentwood scored the only points of the third, with a field goal by Andre Slyter. Despite the 10-7, the Conks defense couldn’t hold the Eagles in the fourth quarter, giving up a 54-yard touchdown run. Kentwood are 2-0 in league play, 5-1 overall, good for second place in the South Puget Sound League 4A Northeast division, behind KentMeridian.
TAHOMA Tahoma hit the scoreboard first with a 63-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Amandre Williams to senior running back Marvis Bailey, Jr. The Royals answered seconds later with a touchdown of their own. Tahoma owned the second quarter, kicking a field goal late and adding a touchdown before halftime. They also missed their second extra point of the game. The Bears entered halftime with a 22-21 lead. Tahoma added to the lead with 14 more points early in the third. However, the Royals stormed back with a touchdown just before the end of the quarter, though they failed their two point conversion attempt. Tahoma faltered in the fourth quarter, surrendering two touchdowns, including a successful two-point conversion. Williams completed 29 of 49 passes for 356 yards and three touchdowns, along with two interceptions. Jerome Woods led the Bears with 76 yards rushing on nine carries and a touchdown. Tyson Cronin notched 139 receiving yards on eight catches.

makes it the eighth largest high school in Washington in terms of the number of students. She is also taking two advanced placement classes, which is challenging by itself. But, add a varsity sport to the mix and you have one really busy athlete. She says it’s all worth it, though. “(The team) has been really welcoming,” Gabriel said. “We’re all really close.” Caillier said he has high hopes for Gabriel’s future success in the program. “I look forward to watching her continue to grow as a player,” he said. Gabriel is not the only young player on
the team, either. There are two starting freshmen, Riley Sansaver and Erin Gould. And only two players on the team are actually seniors, Lyubka Krasteva and Michelle Batin. The Conks have two home games next week. On Tuesday, Oct. 21 they play Mount Rainer and on Thursday, Oct. 23, they play Todd Beamer. Both opponents had 3-1 records as of press time, while Kentwood’s record was 2-2.

Saving dahlia and canna You can dig and store tender bulbs each autumn
Marianne Binetti
“Bucket and Bites”
why your neighbor with a container garden on a covered porch or patio claims her dusty miller has lived for years in the same pot while the same plant in your garden must be replaced every spring. Winter warning: tender succulents like echeverias must be moved indoors to survive the winter. Keeping them dry under the eaves of the house is not enough protection from the freezing nights ahead.
or leave them in the ground but cover the soil to keep out the rain. It is the wet winter weather that rots these tender bulbs more often than the cold that freezes them to death. A covering of oil cloth, plastic or even a pile of water-repelling sword fern fronds placed on top of the soil will give tender dahlias, cannas and even bananas a chance to survive winter. First, cut back the stems to just above soil level. Spread the water barrier on top and add a wood mulch or stones to keep it in place. Remove the covering in late spring and see what pops up.
The Compleat Home Gardener
4050 Maple Valley Hwy. • 425-430-6800
The second week of October is when the first hard frost can sometimes put a sudden end to summer plants. Make this the week you remove pitiful petunias and pull up other annuals with fading flowers. Now is the time to dig and store tender bulbs like canna and dahlias, move any houseplants back indoors and try your hand with lady luck when it comes to being a gambling gardener. Saving tender plants over the winter can be risky business and the stakes are death defying – in the literal sense. The payoff is not having to purchase new plants in the spring. Lucky winners can recycle favorites year after year. Here are a few tips for “saving summer” by overwintering tender plants even if you don’t own a greenhouse.
Store fuchsias and geraniums in a garage or shed Miracles do happen and after a mild winter your hanging fuchsia basket or potted geranium might just make a Lazarus move and surprise you with their resurrection in the spring. You can dramatically increase the odds that these plants will be with you next summer by cutting them back by one-half now and moving the plants to a cold – but not freezing – garage or shed. Let the soil dry out to encourage winter dormancy and add a little water only on the major holidays – a little drink
Move tender potted plants close to the house You can easily overwinter many succulents and tender plants that have gray or silver foliage like licorice plants, lavender and dusty miller by keeping them away from heavy rains and in potting soil that drains quickly. This is the reason
to toast Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine’s Day and St. Pat’s. Once Easter arrives you can repot these survivors and bring them indoors to a bright window. In May these bonus plants can be moved back outdoors and you’ll have a second summer of blooming beauty. Full disclosure here: Overwintering geraniums, tender hibiscus, hanging fuchsias and other patio plants can be a bit messy. You must also be willing to put up with these plants inside your home in the month of April when they are just waking up and still in the ugly stage. When you overwinter plants in a garage, basement or shed they are also likely to suffer leaf blights and mite infestations. Finally, overwintered plants won’t finally flower and start looking great until mid-summer or even August. If you don’t have a greenhouse and don’t enjoy a challenge, just uproot these tender plants now, add them to the compost pile and enjoy buying professionally grown and perfectly beautiful new plants in the spring.

www.covingtonreporter.com • www.maplevalleyreporter.com He said the board’s policy is not to waive fees. Doing so for this project could start a precedent for all other development projects in the future. And the simple fact is that the district needs all the money it can get. “There was strong sentiment by some of the board members that by waiving these fees you are basically giving money to the developers at the expense of increased tax rates from levies and bonds,â€? Loftis said.
[ FEES from page 6] Loftis said the Board looked at the issue and considered the financial gymnastics for more than a month, taking opinions from the public and members of the business community. He said the board’s policy is not to waive fees. Doing so for this project could start a precedent for all other development projects in the future. And the simple fact is that the district needs all the money it can get.
This causes a political issue of sorts, since the district will likely need to ask the public for more funding through a bond in three years for the new elementary school. “To ask the voters to tax themselves to have a better school and then give that money away to developers, even if it is developing properties that we fully support‌ you just have to weigh the financial realities and financial responsibilities that we have to the taxpayers,â€? Loftis said.
In the letter to the district, Inland said Polaris would share a boundary with the school and that Inland’s site plan features “significant infrastructure improvements,� including an estimated $559,716 in road improvements. Loftis said he didn’t expect the school board’s decision to reject the waiver to impact its “rock solid� relationship with the city. “These are people who solve problems for a living,�
October 17, 2014 [11]
he said. “You don’t throw your hands in the air and walk away from life-long partners because something didn’t go the way you wanted it to go.� Cities, towns and counties collect school impact fees, Hart said, not the school districts themselves. Hart said

Tahoma Community News
Tahoma School District 409, serving the greater Maple Valley community School news at a glance &RQVWUXFWLRQ ERQG RYHUVLJKW JURXS QHHGV YROXQWHHUV The Tahoma School Board is accepting applications for three volunteer positions that will be part of an eight-person Âżnancial oversight committee to review construction and remodeling spending funded by the 2013 construction bond measure. The board is asking for three parents of Tahoma students to be part of the committee, joining representatives from community organizations. Applicants are asked to submit a letter to the school board that addresses these questions: Are you a resident of the Tahoma School District? Do you have Âżnancial or construction experience or credentials? If yes, please provide details. Please explain why you want to be part of this committee and what strengths you would bring (150-word limit). Are you willing to commit to evening meetings that could last one to three hours; four to six times per year until construction projects are completed? Applicants should send their letter by email or letter to Kevin Patterson, communication director. Mail: 25720 Maple Valley-Black Diamond Road SE, Maple Valley, WA 98038. Email: kpatters@tahomasd.us The application deadline is 4 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 23.
Parents invited to informational preschool lectures Tahoma Preschool staff are conducting a preschool development and education series that is designed for families seeking more information regarding preschoolage children. The monthly lectures will be held at Lake Wilderness Elementary School, Library A, evenings beginning in December. Please visit the Tahoma website (www. Tahomasd.us) or contact Tahoma Special Services for details: 425-413-3400.
7HFK OHY\ GHOLYHUV QHZ OHDUQLQJ WRROV About 4,000 computers were replaced or added throughout the district over the summer, thanks to the technology levy renewed by voters in February. “I think it’s really important that people understand we’re buying the best tools for the students at the best cost,� said Walt Szklarski, Instructional Technology coordinator for the district. The levy also paid to update instructional stations for most teachers, improve infrastructure, provide trainings on new devices and programs for teachers and staff, and to install interac-
tive projectors in elementary classrooms. After the changes, the student-to-computer ratio in language arts and social studies classes at the high school improved from 2-1 to 1-1. Many of the older computers go to the student-training program “THS BEAR Computers,â€? which refurbishes outdated machines and installs basics such as Microsoft OfÂżce and antivirus software; then provides them to families in need. When possible, the families also receive free Internet connectivity from providers. Interactive projectors, which
essentially turn the existing classroom whiteboard into an electronic whiteboard, work in a similar fashion to the ActivBoards that some teachers throughout the district have already been using. Lori PichĂŠ, who teaches second grade at Glacier Park Elementary School, has been using an ActivBoard for about four years since the Glacier Park PTA purchased them. “I cannot imagine my life without it – it is that valuable of a tool to me,â€? PichĂŠ said. The ActivBoard is extremely
helpful for organization of lessons and engaging visual learners, she noted. After using it for several years, PichĂŠ said she now uses it for every math lesson, and about half of her teaching throughout the day in all subjects. Other potential uses vary as widely as the imagination, but could include activities such as coin counting, sorting items, or using maps to talk about location and distance.

Automotive program shifts gears to provide ‘Future Ready’ skills The auto shop of “tomorrowâ€? at the new Tahoma High School and regional learning center will look much more like a sleek engineering laboratory mixed with a high-end service facility – rather than the greasy garage that many people still envision. And while oil changes and exhaust systems are still part of the curriculum, the face of auto technology is changing. It’s much more about the multiple, complex computer systems that run today’s cars, as well as bringing in connections to other Âżelds such as robotics, analytical thinking and mechanics. The concepts students are studying in Luke Thompson’s automotive technology courses at Tahoma High are part of a network of crossover experiences the district as a whole is
working to expand, explained Diane Fox, director of Career and Technical Education for THS. “There is a collision between design and manufacturing and Âżxing things,â€? Fox said. “This isn’t just about producing car mechanics. This is about giving students experiences with diagnostics and engineering.â€? Students are acquiring skills that can apply in many ways. “Cars have long been a passion for many teens in our school. We are conÂżdent that auto technology will not only teach mechanical skills, but will also provide our students numerous pathways to tech and trade schools as well as livable wage careers,â€? Principal Terry Duty said. He noted that high school administrators decided to make an intentional shift from an

Tahoma’s Future Ready initiative, which is being formally introduced to the community this fall, will help every Tahoma student graduate with a viable plan for what comes after high school, whether that is looking for a job immediately, entering a technical or two-year program, the military, a four-year
school, or something else entirely. To read more about Future Ready, visit www.tahomasd.us and look under “Quick Links.� Thompson is new to THS this year, after teaching at Decatur High School in Federal Way for seven years. He said he is excited to be at Tahoma, both to expand the program opportunities and to help plan for the courses that will be held in the automotive technology lab at the new school when it opens in fall 2017.
6DIHW\ VHFXULW\ LPSURYHV PRUH FKDQJHV H[SHFWHG Safety and security improvements at Tahoma schools are among the many projects included in the construction and remodeling bond measure that voters approved in November 2013. Though the changes might not be as striking as some of the other bond-funded work, they will provide signi¿cant upgrades in safety and security for students and staff. Some of the work already is underway or completed, including: • Trimming of plants and shrubs at all campuses to improve security visibility. • Installation of brighter, more energyef¿cient outside lighting. • Continuation of a school resource po-
lice of¿cer at Tahoma High School and periodic police visits to all schools. • Requiring identi¿cation badges for all employees and special identi¿cation for visitors. • Staff training in emergency medical care. • Continuation of a school bus safety program in conjunction with the Washington State Patrol and local police. • Continuation of school safety drills. More safety and security measures are being planned, using about $1.5 million in bond measure funding. A committee of school district employees, law enforcement representatives and a parent volunteer is ex-
