Wildlife rehab center growing Reagan Dunn, local

city councils support Auburn health center

BY REBECCA GOURLEY rgourley@maplevalleyreporter.com

deep, reverberating growl comes from the kennel in the corner. No animal is in sight, but her snarls sound much too ferocious to be coming from anything small enough to fit into a cat carrier. As a human hand reaches in to start the daily cleaning of her kennel, the three-pound bobcat pokes her head out of the darkness, bears her razor sharp teeth and continues her menacing snarl. To most, this would be terrifying, but to veterinarian Dr. Jan White, it’s just another day at work. White runs South Sound Critter Care, a wildlife rehabilitation center in the Maple Valley area. Her facility takes in virtually all wild animals in the area, big and small. The latest addition to the center is a 2 1/2 month old bobcat, who is believed to be orphaned. Don’t let her kitten-like looks fool you, though. She’s definitely powerful and incredibly aggressive for her small size. If her tennis-ball sized paws were any indication, she will soon be much too large to pick up with just a claw-proof gauntlet. White and her staff will care for the feline until she’s well enough to go back into the wild on her own. White makes it her mission to take in injured or orphaned wildlife, get them back to good health and release them into their natural habitat. So far this year, her center has taken in nearly 2,200 animals (a 24 percent increase from last year), and have between 100 and 200 animals at any given time depending on the season. Being one of only a couple centers of its kind that takes in most, if not all, injured wild animals in Pierce and King Counties, it’s no wonder why she wants to expand the facility. “We are being overrun,” White said. They have a little over 100 animals right now and expect that number to

REBECCA GOURLEY, The Reporter increase, or maybe even double, by next year. White relies on volunteers and college interns to help her take care of the animals. Currently, she is working on getting a new annex and cabin ready for a few out-of-town interns that need a place to stay. During the spring and summer this year, White had 20 interns working at the center in various capacities. Some were local, a

couple were from the eastern US, and one was from China, studying as an international student in Oregon. A temporary fix, the new annex will not only serve as living quarters and a workshop for some of the interns, but also as a small aviary for the center. However, White does have her sights set on something a little more permanent, a piece of land known as “Henry’s Switch” in Maple Valley. [ more GROWING page 20 ]

When you change your clock, change your battery It is almost the time of year to move from daylight saving time to standard time and adjust clocks back one hour at 2 a.m. on Nov. 2. The Kent Fire Department is reminding residents to change the clocks and change the batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Alarms that run on nine volt batteries or hard wired smoke alarms

with battery backups need to be changed annually to ensure they work when needed. Make sure to dispose of the batteries properly by recycling them. Avoid throwing them in the garbage if possible. Another type of annual maintenance to perform on smoke and CO alarms is to vacuum them out when changing the batteries. Dust can accumulate in the small

grill near the sensor, blocking its ability to detect and warn you with an audible alarm. Keep in mind that smoke and CO alarms have a life expectancy of approximately 10 years. If an alarm is that old, replace them and write the purchase date on the inside of the new alarms There is also a date stamp on the back of the alarm. There are two major

types of smoke alarms: ionization for detecting fast burning fires such as a stove top fire; and photoelectric for smoldering fires that includes a discarded cigarette in a waste basket. Alarms that combine both types of sensors provide the best coverage of all. Select the type of alarm best suited for a home and family’s needs.

The city council also unanimously approved a Memorandum of Understanding Monday night, which states that they will continue to work with the district on establishing access rights to current and future district athletic

Taraday stated the “most binding” item on the agreement is the May 11, 2015 deadline. If an agreement between the city and the district is not made by that date, a mediation process will begin between the two parties.

COVINGTON MAPLE VALLEY

UNINCORPORATED AREA COUNCIL The Greater Maple Valley Unincorporated Area Council will hold its monthly meeting on Monday, Nov. 3, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Maple Valley Fire Station on the southeast corner of the intersection of Southeast 231st Street and state Route 169. Members of the public are invited to attend and can address the Area Council on any local issue during an Open Comment period at the start of each meeting.

Construction began in late September on an expanded MultiCare Covington Medical Center that will provide inpatient hospital services to Covington and the surrounding communities. The three-level, 74,000-square-foot wing will face Wax Road and be adjacent to the recently built emergency department. The first phase will include 24 inpatient beds, Observation Units, Orthopedic Surgery, General Surgery, Ear, Nose and Throat services, Urology, Adult Short Stay Surgery, Pediatric Inpatient care and Pediatric Outpatient Surgery, and other services.

Pediatric services will be connected to Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital & Health Center and its network of primary and specialty services in Covington and South King County. This addition will improve access to community health care services and is expected to generate about 100 new jobs when completed in late 2016. In addition, it will create more than 250 construction jobs. “The new Covington Medical Center is a real testament to MultiCare’s commitment to bring expanded health care to the communities we serve,” said Hugh Kodama, MultiCare President and Market Leader for the South King

Gov. Jay Inslee, left, spoke to a large crowd at MultiCare in Covington Tuesday morning just before the groundbreaking ceremony. REBECCA GOURLEY, The Reporter Region. “Many more residents will be able to get their health needs taken care of right here in South King County, while still being connected to MultiCare’s network of specialists in

King and Pierce counties.” MultiCare Covington Medical Center has been serving the Southeast King County area for more than two decades. The Covington Medical Center will further develop

and complement the integrated services MultiCare offers in South King County through Auburn Medical Center and its primary care, urgent care and specialty clinics.

finding some packages contained bacteria often resistant to antibiotics

Promises of collaboration Bipartisanship campaigns are “in” in the 2014 elections. Recently I visited a candidate forum at the Green River Community College Enumclaw campus. I was surprised to hear that several candidates claimed to be more bipartisan than their opponents. Republican Sen. Pam Roach has put the word bipartisan on some of her signs around the area. Her opponent, Rep. Cathy Dahlquist, has her 31st District Democratic colleague, Rep. Chris Hurst, campaigning with her and lending his support, making a bipartisan team to finally rid the district of Sen. Roach. Hurst and Dahlquist are shown sitting together in campaign ads in the local papers. Other candidates at the forum also chimed in about being the most bipartisan – one who could work with their opponents on the other side of the aisle. Phil Fortunato, the Republican candidate who is opposing Rep. Hurst, notes in the voter pamphlet, “It is time to protect our families and put partisan politics behind us.” Jason Ritchie, 8th Congressional District Democratic opponent to incumbent U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert, also made references to his bipartisanship during the forum and in the voter pamphlet. “I decided to run for office because partisan bickering shut down the government and harmed thousands of small businesses, including my own. This isn’t the America I want my sons to grow up in.” Reichert was not at the Forum, but noted in the voter pamphlet, “I’m a pragmatic leader, believing it’s more important to solve problems than claim credit or be trapped in partisanship.” As I came away from the forum, and then taught my continuing education class on the 2014 congressional elections, I wondered if this bipartisanship tactic was unique to the 31st In Focus

OPINION

O D I D Y O U K N O W ? : Nutek Disposables issued a voluntary recall for its brand of baby wipes after

Legislative District and the 8th Congressional District, or whether it is more widespread. I checked some of the other races in the voter pamphlet. Republican candidate Craig Keller, who is running against Democratic incumbent Jim McDermott in the 7th Congressional District, made a statement about being bipartisan with a twist in his opening comments: “Like you, I am frustrated by open disregard for our laws. Not just by criminals but by elected Republicans and Democrats! ‘Rovian’ Republicans now plot with House Democrats to betray every American worker with amnesty and a massive expansion of ‘high tech’ worker visas.” From his perspective U.S. House Democrats and Republicans are involved in bipartisan conspiracy. Other than Keller’s comments, not much is being said about working together outside our voting area. This seems to be a local issue, engendered no doubt because the 31st is supposed to be more evenly divided than other legislative districts. In order for candidates like Reichert, Hurst, Dahlquist and Roach to continue to be elected, they need to take more moderate stands.

An article titled, “Can Bipartisanship Sell in the 2014 Election? These Candidates are Banking on it.” in The Christian Science Monitor (June 9, 2014) it is noted there are several candidates in Georgia, Virginia, Louisiana, Kentucky and New Hampshire who are using the bipartisan card to attain victories. These candidates can’t win unless they win some crossover votes, so they do what they have to do. The rest of the nation’s candidates don’t seem to be as concerned about being bipartisan. For most of the nation, it’s politics as usual. Listening to the Democrats and the Republicans in battleground states where millions of dollars are being spent on campaign ads, the battles are pitched and vicious. Perhaps if we had fewer districts that were “safe” for either Democrats or Republicans and were more evenly divided, there would be more bipartisan candidates and a return to negotiation and compromise. Perhaps it’s time we examine how legislative and congressional district lines are drawn so that, like the 31st and the 8th districts in our area, we would be hearing more talk and hopefully more compromise for the good of the state and the nation.

Don’t vote for “R” I first voted for JFK and ever since I have voted for the person not the party. I voted for Dave Reichert the first time he ran for the house. Before the end of his term I regretted my choice. He has been paid over one million dollars in salary and his vote to shut down the government with the rest of the GOP cost the taxpayers $24 billion. He has not helped the 98 percent of Washington people one bit. The

GOP needs to be voted out of office to end this grid lock. This Congress will go down in history as the most worthless body in our history. My vote will not be for any “R” this time.

Stop the talking points and misinformation To a recent letter writer criticizing Rep. Mark

Hargrove: Democrats don’t like to talk about the bad economy their policies have caused, so they try and distract us with, “Look, there’s a Republican war on women!” In fact, under the current administration, women have lost seven times as many jobs as men. The Hobby Lobby decision wasn’t about contraception. The Hobby Lobby company provides 16 different types of free, nocopay, contraceptives to their employees through their company health care

plan: condoms, diaphragms, sponges, cervical caps, birth-control pills, contraceptive patches, rings, injections, implantable rods, vasectomies, sterilization surgeries and implants. What they object to are a couple of abortifacients. They have a right to that opinion. As for poor women’s access, birth control pills cost as little as $4/month at Fred Meyer Pharmacy. If you can afford a Starbucks latte once a month, you can afford birth control pills.

As a small business owner, you should be more wary of government intrusion into matters of conscience. Would you walk into a Muslim halal restaurant and demand they serve you a bacon cheese burger? By the way, I am a rocket scientist and I don’t think overpopulation is the world’s most serious problem. Rep. Hargrove is an aeronautical engineer and instructor pilot. I don’t think he does either.

Health officials advocate getting influenza vaccines Flu season is nearing and although state health officials don’t know exactly when the flu will strike, how serious it will be or how long the season will last, they do know that it spreads every year and now is the time to get vaccinated against this serious, sometimes deadly virus. “The first and most important thing you can do to protect yourself from flu is to get vaccinated every year,” said State Health Officer Dr. Kathy Lofy. “Flu vaccine is available now in most provider offices and pharmacies across the state and getting it now will provide protection throughout the season. It’s not too early.” Along with getting the flu vaccine, frequent hand washing is important because the virus spreads easily when someone who’s infected coughs, sneezes, or talks. People with the flu can spread it

1158013

to others before they know they’re sick. Symptoms may include fever, chills, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache and fatigue. Getting the flu vaccine is recommended for everyone 6 months of age and older. It’s especially important for high-risk groups: young children, older people, pregnant women and people with certain medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes, lung diseases, heart diseases and neurologic conditions. There are more vaccine options available this season than ever before, including the standard flu shot for people six months and older, intradermal for adults aged 18-64, the high-dose flu shot for adults 65 and older, nasal spray for healthy people (except pregnant women) between the ages of 2 and 49, a cell-based flu vaccine, and an egg-free op-

tion for people 18 through 49 years of age. All flu vaccines protect against three strains of flu virus and some protect against a fourth strain. All flu vaccine offers protection and there’s no preference for one vaccine over another, except for one. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now recommend the use of the nasal spray vaccine for healthy children aged 2-8 who do not have an underlying health condition. All nasal spray vaccine protects against four strains of flu. Children under 9 years old may need two doses about a month apart for the best protection. Washington provides all recommended vaccines at no cost for kids through age 18. For help, visit the online flu vaccine finder, visit the ParentHelp123 resource finder or call the Family Health Hotline.

Keith Seinfeld, public information officer for Public Health Seattle-King County, said Auburn Public Health Center, including those who visit the Enumclaw satellite, served approximately 50 Black Diamond residents in 2013. “The people who use these services need them,” Seinfeld said. “We assume wherever possible, we will connect them with other providers, but not everyone can connect to other locations ... There will be some people who simply won’t get these services.” Seinfeld said federal reductions and a lack of state funding forced the reductions. “Public health has not had a stable source of funding for these services for more than 10 years,” Seinfield said. “We are caught in a bind. We have to have a balanced budget... The funding from the various revenues sources hasn’t kept pace. It’s been a challenge.” Funding for the clinic could mean money taken away from other areas, brought from reserves or used from potential new revenue sources. Dunn said that discussion isn’t ready yet. “I basically laid the marker down that that is an important item,” Dunn said. “I don’t know whose ox it might gore moving forward quite yet, but we will see.” Multiple King County public health officials attended recent Black Diamond council meetings, asking the city for support during public comment. The pleas for help ranged from the ethical need to assist low-income individuals

Black Diamond Councilwoman Tammy Deady told The Reporter she called Dunn to tell him her thoughts on the issue and to ask about his, but did not hear back. “We’ve already cut bus lines out here, metro, so if they’re going to cut public services out here as well, you are then making citizens here on the south end go farther out,” Deady said. “If you have to go farther north, I think it is an even more tremendous burden on our citizens to get reasonable health care.” Despite the resolution of support, Deady said the city has no money in its budget to assist in any way. Black Diamond Councilman Ron Taylor said at the Oct. 16 meeting that he supported the resolution, but noted some hypocrisy. “Government needs to cut costs, but when it does then everybody doesn’t want costs cut,” he said at the Oct. 16 meeting. “So it is slightly contradictory on that part.” Dunn said the county will continue looking for funding commitments from the cities of Auburn and Enumclaw. “The county could get us most of the way there but it always works better if we have municipal and private sector partners to help share the load for that important piece,” Dunn said. “It’s safe to say that it has broad base support in south and east King County. With a little heavy lifting we can get there but we cannot make any promises at this point.”

Tired of pretending? Try finding some real ghosts BY RAY STILL Staff Writer

If you’re looking for a frightfully good time this Halloween, there are many attractions in the area that would be more than willing to scare the pants off of you. Farm Fresh Produce and the Fright Factory are some good Halloween haunts and Maris Farms works hard every year to bring you the best scares with its haunted forest and monster safari. In Enumcla there’s also the Thomasson Family Farm. But at the end of the night, that psycho clown that chased you and your friends through the corn maze with a chainsaw isn’t some undead apparition – it’s an actor with a red rubber nose. So where on the Plateau can you see some real ghosts?

AGHOST Ross Allison, the president of Advanced Ghost Hunters of Seattle and Tacoma, known as AGHOST, and the owner of the Spooked in Seattle Ghost Tours, has investigated several places on the Plateau for ghosts. In fact, it was in Buckley where AGHOST investigated its first cemetery. Presently, Allison tours around the country, giving lectures on paranormal investigating and taking students on

ghost hunts. “One of the most amazing experiences we had was in Buckley cemetery,” said Allison. After obtaining permission from the City Council, AGHOST set up camp in the oldest section of the cemetery. “We got this really strong electromagnetic field reading,” Allison explained. “We couldn’t figure out what was causing this, but right then I took a picture. Sure enough, as we were getting this reading, there was what we would describe as ectoplasm in the picture. And at the same time that I took the picture, someone else has taken the picture at the different angle and captured the exact same thing.” Many paranormal investigation groups claim that ghosts can emit an electromagnetic field, which can be picked up by an EMF reader. This is one way ghost hunting groups can collect data and evidence of a ghost or haunting. On a different investigation in the same cemetery, Allison also recorded an electronic voice phenomenon of a little boy saying, “Mommy.” An EVP occurs when a paranormal investigation is recorded on an audio track. Initially, the investigators do not hear the phenomenon – only when the recording is rewound and

other side.” Allison was not able to capture the orb on camera. “People ask me, why investigate a cemetery?” Allison said. “You have to understand that cemeteries were treated a lot different back then they are today. People visited the cemeteries a lot back then. It was a common thing, to visit a cemetery and see loved ones, even every week.” Allison explained how ghosts are often attached to a person, place or thing. In cemeteries, ghosts can be attached to their old bodies, or are waiting for friends and family to visit. “But then the family stops coming because they moved away or died off, and the ghost is still there waiting for somebody,” Allison explained. “Those are two of the most common reasons a cemetery can be haunted.”

PUGET SOUND GHOST HUNTERS Donna Arnold feels the floor vibrate while Kenny Arnold gets a reading on his K2 EMF reader in Federal Way. Photo Courtesy of Ken Arnold played back can it be heard. If the phenomenon is heard without the aid of a recording, it is a direct voice phenomenon. Allison had a different experience altogether when investigating the Enumclaw cemetery. “Enumclaw was the first

time I experienced seeing an orb with the naked eye,” he said. “Orbs have been reported since the beginning of time – balls of light floating through the air, changing colors. I watched an orb float in cemetery and go behind a tombstone and never came out on the

While AGHOST specializes in open investigations, Puget Sound Ghost Hunters focuses on private investigations in people’s homes. “We could do open investigations, like well known mansions and houses, and we would only be there for us. It is entertainment,” said Ken Arnold, the copresident of the group. “But helping private clients, that’s

a whole different plane.” Puget Sound Ghost Hunters was founded by Stephanie Davisson, who was the vice-president of AGHOST until she left in 2004. Puget Sound Ghost Hunters was formed in 2008 in order to conduct private investigations. Presently, Ken and his wife Donna are co-presidents of the ghost hunter group. The group also consists of a background researcher, a minister, and numerous more investigators. The entire group is made of volunteers, because they offer their services free of charge. Unlike AGHOST, Puget Sound Ghost Hunters doesn’t seek out hauntings – they let their clients come to them, which Ken Arnold said is why they have such a plentiful amount of photographic evidence and EVP recordings of spirits. On one of their most recent cases in Shelton, one of their newest investigators felt a ghost pat him on the head. On a recorder, Ken was able to catch an EVP of a male voice that told the investigator, “I care.” On an older case in Graham, the group was only just setting up when phenomenon started. “We were bringing in our equipment, and I had to ask (the client), ‘Does [ more GHOSTS page 13 ]

MALIGNANT HYPERTHERMIA Malignant hyperthermia is a disease that is passed down genetically from parent to child. Only one parent needs to be a gene carrier, and the disease also can occur alongside some muscle diseases. The disease causes a rapid rise in body temperature, which results in a fever. It can also cause severe muscle contractions when the affected person receives general anesthesia. Some symptoms of malignant hyperthermia include bleeding, dark brown urine, muscle aches without cause, muscle rigidity, and a sudden fever of 105 degrees or higher. A person who has an attack of malignant hyperthermia may also have a rapid or irregular heartbeat. People with family history of malignant hyperthermia should be tested before any surgery is performed. And here’s one more reason not to do drugs: cocaine, amphetamines, and ecstasy can trigger symptoms of malignant hyperthermia. Although malignant hyperthermia most often occurs during or after surgery, it can occur wherever anesthetic medications are used, such as in emergency rooms, dental offices, surgeons’ offices and intensive care units. Family members can have different levels of sensitivity to medications that trigger the problem. In some cases, reactions are mild, so a person may be exposed to high-risk medications several times before experiencing a reaction that is severe enough to be recognized. To schedule an appointment, please call Southlake Clinic at (253) 395-1972. Our primary care providers are part of a multispecialty physician network and are also available on Saturdays.

The Evergreen Arborist

A weak El Niño appears to be shaping up for the Pacific Northwest. This means increased chances for above normal temperatures and below normal precipitation for this winter. Such conditions also often mean there will be less severe storms during the next few months. However, things can always change. Homeowners concerned about the tall trees around their residences and neighborhoods should begin to think about taking some important precautions before the storm season arrives. The following tips will help to ease concerns about the health and safety of your trees. 1. Survey your own trees. If there has been recent breakage of large branches or tops, if new clearing has exposed trees to high winds, if construction activity has altered a tree’s growing environment or if some type of structural defect is visible, a hazard assessment by a qualified professional would be prudent. Be aware of the location of trees and structures in relation to the direction of

Dennis Tompkins

Survey tall trees near homes and buildings northeast. 2. Pay particular attention to recent tree failures. Trees that fall and expose their root balls often have a root disease. When the loss of anchoring roots reaches a critical point, they no longer will support a tree during high winds and saturated ground conditions. Old stumps and root balls can often provide clues as to what caused a tree to fall. If a root disease is discovered, adjacent trees may be infected since the diseases usually spread by root-to-root contact. Suspect trees can be inspected by a trained eye to determine if a root rot is present. 3. Conduct a hazard assessment. If you are truly concerned about a tree’s safety, an inspection by a certified arborist or tree risk assessor will help to identify any structural,

the prevailing winds. In the Puget Sound area winds tend to originate from the south or southwest. However, local conditions may alter the direction. For example, some of the strongest winds in the Buckley and Enumclaw areas originate from the east or

health or environmental issues that may render a tree “hazardous.” While it is impossible to predict if, when or what kind of failure may occur, a tree’s long-term health and safety can be evaluated. In the majority of the hundreds of assessments I have performed, little or no action has been recommended unless a root disease or structural defect is discovered. 4. Pay particular attention to weather forecasts. Forecasts for most windstorms generally have been on the mark. Often, forecasters will predict when and where severe gusts may be anticipated. Interestingly, many strong gusts often happen at night. 5. Consider altering your lifestyle for a few hours. Many residents tell me they sleep in basements or carry on activities in sections of the home that are located away from trees in their yards when severe conditions are forecast. 6. Beware of “doorbell arborists.” I am sometimes asked to provide a second opinion about recommendations made by individuals who canvass neighborhoods soliciting tree work. In nearly all cases, a different perspective has been provided

that saved trees and thousands of dollars for homeowners. If such solicitors claim to be “arborists,” are they actually certified? If so, they should be able to show proof of certification from the International Society of Arboriculture. There is a difference between having a homeowner’s best interests at heart and that of a tree service that pays a commission to an uncertified “doorbell arborist.” Fortunately, few residents are injured in their homes by falling trees. But we have all heard about close calls. So, if you are concerned about trees during severe weather, consider the above steps to prepare for the approaching storm season. ••• Dennis Tompkins is a certified arborist, hazard tree risk assessor and Master Gardener from the Bonney Lake-Sumner area.

RESOURCE GUIDE

Tips to keeping seniors active during winter The good news is that short of catastrophe, modern medicine virtually guarantees life into our seventies, eighties or beyond for most living in the Pacific Northwest. While modern medicine keeps us alive, however, it does not ensure a quality life. Seniors often identify the ability to stay active and independent as the singular most important factor in their happiness. It’s no secret that consistent exercise is the most important factor in maintaining physical health and independence. Exercise, therefore, promotes happiness. It is often pointed out that we live in a region of the country that offers endless opportunities for the kinds of activities that can help us define our later years as “youthful” versus “old.” No doubt this is true during the summer months. With our longer sun-drenched days the Pacific Northwest offers abundant opportunities to get out of the house and move. It’s the cold and dark winters, however, that can pose a challenge to seniors looking to stay active, fit and socially engaged.

The local community center is a great place to start when looking for ways to stay active during the winter months. While offering fantastic programs themselves, these resource centers are often aware of other programs being offered by their partners in the community. Nearly every local mall offers programming around the use of their warm, dry, and well-lit venues for the purpose of staying fit. Of course there are many fitness facilities that make it their business to keep people active during all seasons. There are several local gyms that accept the Silver Sneakers fitness program. This is a program that many health insurances held by seniors will actually pay for. These suggestions are only a partial list of the many ways that seniors can stay one step ahead of Mother Nature in their quest to stay active. Contact your local health and wellness provider to see how they can help you live the active life you desire. Joshua Lyons, Owner Pinnacle Physical Therapy www.pinnacle-pt.com

www.covingtonreporter.com â€˘ www.maplevalleyreporter.com [ GHOSTS from page 8] your chandelier always swing like that?â€™â€? said one investigator. Later on, when Donna Arnold was asking questions in the house, she felt her leg being burnt. â€œIt was a round burn, like the size of a cigarette. Left a nice little scar,â€? Donna Arnold said. It was the first time that Donna Arnold was ever hurt on an investigation, but it wasnâ€™t the last. Several female members of the group have experienced scratches or bruises on cases. During a case in Bonney Lake, while investigating a house rumored to have previously housed a cult of devilworshippers, Donna Arnold and Davisson were slammed into a door. On the same investigation, Donna Arnold was scratch so hard, she started to bleed. â€œMost ghosts are not harmful,â€? Donna Arnold explained. â€œAnd when they scratch you, they donâ€™t always mean harm. Theyâ€™re just trying to get your attention.â€? The group agreed that many ghosts are very eager to communicate, but Ken Arnold said communication saps their energy quickly. â€œThey can go 15, maybe 30 seconds, and then they are gone,â€? he explained. â€œThey get worn out.â€? One of the tools the group uses to encourage ghosts to communicate is a Ghost Box, a modified AM/FM radio that quickly cycles through stations. In theory, ghosts can draw the energy from the Ghost Box in order to commu-

Community News and Notes KENTHOPE TO HOLD SECOND FUNDRAISING BANQUET KentHOPEâ€™s second fundraising banquet will be held at New Beginnings Christian Fellowship at 6 p.m. on Nov. 1. The event will center on sharing stories of transformation and the vision of establishing a permanent center in Kent, a place where people will have around-the-clock access to those resources necessary to move toward stable housing and a more secure future. KentHOPEâ€™s stated mission is to build community by providing stable pathways out of homelessness. KentHOPE Board Chair Pat Gray said in a press release the banquet dinner will showcase accomplishments and bring attention to the three years of effort to establish a 24-hour KentHOPE Resource Center and shelter. The keynote speaker will be Sheila Sebron, a parent and veteran who will share her personal story and perspective. Sebron currently serves on the Governing Board of the Committee to End Homelessness.

nicate. Davisson said that ghosts can pull power from any device that uses electricity. â€œWhen you do an investigation, you always start out with fresh batteries on all your equipment, because you want to know when you are having battery drain,â€? she explained. â€œThatâ€™s pretty common,â€? Donna Arnold finished. â€œWe always announce it when we lose our batteries, so we can have someone document it.â€?

RESOLUTIONS AGHOST and Puget Sound Ghost Hunters agree that many times, ghosts are not aware that they have died, or stick around because they donâ€™t know how to move on. However, the groups differ in their approaches to dealing with restless roommates. Many times after an investigation, Allison said that clients are at ease with the ghost after they have more information. â€œThey now understand that (the ghost) is â€˜Uncle Georgeâ€™, and we didnâ€™t know it was Uncle George and now they will be happy and they can cope with the phenomena they are experiencing,â€? Allison explained. Sometimes, more inventive solutions are necessary. â€œWe have had people set rules,â€? said Allison, â€œand if you

set rules, youâ€™ll find that the activity will dissipate.â€? In a haunted Seattle bar, an unruly ghost was breaking wine bottles when it got upset. To placate the spirit, the owners of the bar made a deal â€“ they would leave a fresh shot of alcohol out for the ghost every day if the ghost would stay quiet. Luckily for the bar owners, the ghost agreed. On one investigation, Puget Sound Ghost Hunters were asked to perform a moving-on ceremony. The investigation was at a house where a young man overdosed. The group was contacted by the manâ€™s mother to investigate whether the overdose was accidental or on purpose. â€œWe were able to contact him,â€? said Donna Arnold, â€œand he didnâ€™t mean to do it. It was an accidental overdose.â€? At the motherâ€™s request, the group gave the young man his last rights. â€œIt gave the family closure, because the family members were all there,â€? Donna Arnold explained. â€œAnd we think he moved on.â€?

Halloween has come a long way from its roots Wally DuChateau

has now surpassed Motherâ€™s Day, Easter and Valentines Day to generate more commercial revenue than any other day of the year, except Christmas. Indeed, last year Americans spent more than $2.5 billion on Halloween and it isnâ€™t even an official holiday. Once upon a time, it was merely an evening set aside for children to go trick-or-treating. I was about 5 years old when my mother accompanied her little Batman through the neighborhood and I was quite disappointed when my Batman insignia didnâ€™t project off my flashlight like it did in comic books. A few years later, my peers and I were on our own, so we ventured a couple of blocks further down the street, visiting the homes of people we didnâ€™t know. A few years after that I suddenly realized I didnâ€™t look anything like Batman and the entire evening seemed silly and immature.

WALLYâ€™S WORLD

Far back in ancient times, the Druids and wizards of the Celtic region held an annual drunken orgy and harvest festival on Oct. 31. Coincidentally, many years later, owing in large part to the Catholic Church, on Nov. 1, Christians began observing All Saints Day or All Hallowâ€™s Day. Apparently, when the early Christians stumbled across the Celtic festival they were quite impressed, so the Church usurped and canonized that evening, christening it All Hallowâ€™s Eve. Over time, it was contracted into Halloween and today itâ€™s celebrated in many countries and cultures all over the world. Since it has pagan roots, some modern churches and denominations â€“ not the most enlightened ones, I assure you â€“ condemn the dayâ€™s merriment and mirth as satanic. According to the National Retail Federation, Halloween

COVINGTON NATIVE RATED THIRD IN NCAA DII WRESTLING PRESEASON RANKING Minnesota State senior Cody Quinn is rated third at 165-pounds in the NCAA Division II wrestling preseason rankings.

Quinn, a Covington native, received a medical redshirt season in 2013-14 and went 27-8 in 2012-13 while earning All-America honors for his third-place finish. He was also an All-American in 2011-12 when he placed seventh while finishing the year with a 23-10 mark.

But then, believe it or not, a few more years passed and the festival started to look quite appealing again. Today, itâ€™s sometimes a week-long celebration that adults have co-opted and there may not be a child anywhere in sight. Sixty-five percent of Halloween costumes are now sold to adults. (Cleopatra is the most popular costume for women; Dracula for men.) Itâ€™s not unusual to attend local â€œblock partiesâ€? in which entire neighborhoods are turned into â€œspookyâ€? places. Some individuals spend several hundred dollars decorating their homes and invite the entire town to enjoy the results. Early in the evening, some businesses welcome a bunch of pint-sized superheroes, goblins and fairy princesses who dart excitedly from door to door, collecting treats. Then, after dark, more hideous and humorous beings begin appearing. Happy Halloween, everyone!

Kentwood swinging for multiple state bids

District Qualifiers

BY ERIC MANDEL

emandel@covingtonreporter.com

PREP TENNIS

Tahoma S: Davis Galgano Kentwood S: Andrew Boupharath S: Isaac Hegamin (alternate) D: Shaun Fisher/ Jacob Sherren D: Jacob Schaefer/ Alex Hicker D: Daniel Tanaka/ Garrett Stewart Kentlake S: Derek Welch

Shaun Fisher and Jacob Sherren are a match made in tennis heaven. Sherren is Starsky to Fisher’s Hutch; the Abbot to his Costello. Sherren, a spin-master lefty, is the comic relief who spouts “Hans and Franz” impersonations mid-match. Meanwhile, Fisher, a lanky hard-hitting righty, views himself as “the fire.” “You’ve gotta have the fire on the court,” said Fisher, a senior at Kentwood High School. “I like to see me as the fire — him as my partner in crime.” The Conks colorful senior duo enter the district tournament Saturday in Tumwater with revenge on their minds and their first ever state bid at stake. Kentwood’s No. 1 doubles team will face their rivals from Todd Beamer, Max Dalrymple and Ben Arata, who defeated them in the league tournament earlier this month and three of the four times they’ve met since junior year —including in the first round of last year’s district tournament. During the league tourney, Sherren and Fisher slightly altered their game plan against the Beamer

Boys, which led to disastrous results in the first set when the teammates attacked at the same time. “I hit the ball,” said Sherren, who attends Raisbeck Aviation High School in Tukwila, which does not have a tennis program. “(Fisher) hit my hand.” Sherren finished the game with the hand wrapped and the pair lost in three sets. Shortly after, Fisher and Sherren followed with another loss to their own Kentwood teammates, the No. 2 doubles team of Jacob Schaefer and Alex Kicker. The surprise loss was a testament to the Conks depth this season, as each member of Kentwood’s varsity boys tennis team advanced from the league tournament to the 4A district tournament. By comparison, Tahoma and Kentlake are sending only one single’s athlete apiece. Overall Kentwood advanced eight out of its nine entries, with the team’s top JV player being ousted in the first round. Isaac Hegamin, Kentwood’s No. 2 singles player, is an alternate. Head coach Ingrid Bakke said she’s never had so many athletes advance. “I’ve had great players,

but I’ve never had this depth,” she said. A change in the district tournament also assisted with Kentwood’s additional qualifiers. Bakke said teams from Southwest Washington decided not to take part in the West Central district tourney, which upped the potential entries to 11 from last year’s nine. However, the change also means fewer athletes from the district can gain a bid to state — five compared to between seven and nine last year, Bakke said. The change means additional pressure for perfection on the doubles’ teams, as well as freshman Andrew Boupharath, who finished fourth at the league tournament after a surprising 8-1 regular season record. Bouparath’s only loss during the regular season came against South Puget Sound League Player of the Year, and former state qualifier, Derek Welch, of Kentlake. Bakke said Boupharath “kind of came out of nowhere” with his dominating season. The 14 year old credited Bakke for giving him plenty of opportunity to succeed. “Being the only freshman going to district is a lot of work,” he said. “It’s not easy.”

Shaun Fisher volleys with a partner on Oct. 27 prior to the district tournament scheduled for Oct. 31 in Tumwater. ERIC MANDEL, The Reporter For Fisher, who calls himself injury prone after missing much of his sophomore season with back issues, which popped up again last season, this has been a relatively healthy year that he hopes will end

with a flourish. Sherren, meanwhile, has no doubt about that. “We will definitely give all the teams a run for their money,” Sherren said. “Districts will be exciting to watch.”

Kentwood finishes undefeated BY SARAH WEHMANN Staff Writer

Regular season play has come to an end for the Kentwood, Kentlake and Tahoma football teams, with the Conks sitting on top. Kentwood finished the regular season with an undefeated conference record of 4-0 after defeating Kentlake Oct. 24. Tahoma finished the regular season on a winning note with a win Oct. 23. The 4A district tournament Nov. 7-8 pits the South Puget Sound League 4A north and south against each other. The North is split into two different divisions — the Northwest and Northeast, which holds Kentwood, Kentlake and Tahoma. The first place Conks and second place Kent-Meridian automatically advance to the district playoffs. The top three, which also includes Tahoma, advance to the seeding games. Kentwood hosts Todd Beamer at 7 p.m. Friday for divisional seeding in the north. The Falcons finished the season in fourth-place and were scheduled to play Decatur Oct. 30, which was after press deadline. The Bears were scheduled to play Thomas Jefferson. The winner of that game continues to the district tournament as the No. 5 seed and the loser is out but moves on to play a non playoff, crossover game. Scores from games can be found on the Reporter’s website.

Tahoma boys and girls win Subdistrict championship The Tahoma girls and boys cross country teams took the South Puget Sound League Subdistrict championship Saturday at Fort Steilacoom Park with a score of 15. The girls took 13 of the top 14 spots with Abigail Oosterhout taking first in 20 minutes, 10.47 seconds. Kentwood took eighth with a score of 188.

yard touchdown run and a successful two-point conversion staked them to an early 8-0 lead. The Conks scored again in the first on a 53-yard run and another successful twopoint conversion. After another score in the second quarter, Kentwood entered halftime with a 23-0 lead. Kentlake’s lone score came early in the fourth quarter, with a two-yard pass from junior Trey Helgeson to junior James George. The Falcons went for the two points but were unsuccessful. Kentwood finished the regular season 7-1 overall, the only loss to Federal Way earlier this month. Kentlake ended the regular season 1-3 in conference play, 3-5 overall.

TAHOMA The Bears defeated the Kentridge Chargers in its final regular season, 29-14. Kentridge scored first, but the Bears answered with a 31-yard field goal in the second quarter, to trim the deficit to 7-3 at halftime. Tahoma dominated the third quarter, kicking two field goals and getting a one-yard touchdown run by senior running back Jerome Woods. Tahoma added to the lead in the fourth quarter when sophomore Josh Smith intercepted Kentridge and took the ball 32-yards for a score. Tahoma notched one more touchdown with a 16-yard pass from junior quarterback Amandre Williams to senior receiver Tyson Cronin. Williams finished the game 14 for 33 for 214 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Woods was the Bears leading rusher, with 22 carries for 115 yards and one touchdown. Cronin lead the receivers with six catches, for 63 yards and a score.

www.covingtonreporter.com • www.maplevalleyreporter.com [ GROWING from page 1] The Maple Valley Parks and Recreation Commission held an open house Oct. 22 concerning the future of two city-owned properties, Henry’s Switch (14.2 acres) and a six-parcel property at 216th Avenue SE and SE 276th Street (5 acres). The former is currently zoned for parks, recreation and open space, PRO, while the latter is zoned low density residential – R6. Neither property has been declared surplus by the city, but Greg Brown, parks and recreation director, said the parks commission and the city are looking into all options for both properties. Henry’s Switch, located on the inner edge of the city limits near the intersection of state Route 169 and SE 288th Street, was purchased by the city from King County in 2001. At that time, King County had slated it for affordable housing, according to Brown. When the city purchased it, they designated it for parks use. With that designation came a covenant on the land. “The city has to maintain it as public open space or parks and recreation space,” Brown said in a phone interview. Now, the task is to evaluate what uses actually fall

under those categories. It has to be “recreation in nature, but getting a definition is critical,” he added. White thinks her facility would be a good fit for the community because in addition to rescuing wildlife, she also plans to expand the educational programs that they already do for kids in the community at the potential new site. Currently, White and her staff and volunteers give educational presentations to local boy scout and girl scout groups. With the new facility that she hopes to build, she wants to also have a nature center with regularly scheduled activities for youth in the community. A larger facility would not only let the center rescue more wildlife, it would also allow her to expand the current living quarters for interns, White said. With all of these big plans circulating, some members of the community at the open house last week were concerned about the center causing their adjacent properties to go down in value if the center were to relocate to Henry’s Switch. But, that is unlikely to happen, according to Phillip Sit, spokesperson for the King County Department of Assessments. When doing a property valuation, assessors look at topogra-

phy, traffic noise and other things. Having a wildlife rehabilitation center next door is not usually on the list of criteria. “We don’t take that into consideration,” Sit said. However, he also added that he couldn’t speak hypothetically about how it may or may not affect market values. “At this stage, the King County Department of Assessments cannot determine if the South Sound Critter Care will have an effect on assessed property values until after the facility is constructed and the housing market reflects the experience,” he said in an email. Another entity interested in purchasing land from the city is a local developer,

Integrity Land (Curtis Lang Custom Homes). Director of Land Development for Integrity Land, Jeff Potter, attended the open house last week and expressed interest in working with the city to purchase property “whenever and wherever possible.” If the city decided to surplus property and then sell at least some of it to the developer, the 5-acre property discussed at the meeting would most likely reap the most profit for the city because it is already zoned as residential. Selling Henry’s Switch to any developer may not deliver the same amount of revenue, Brown confirmed, because it is zoned as open space. However, Potter said there are options out there other than selling an entire parcel

of land. Hypothetically speaking, “maybe we buy a portion of (the land), and those funds allow the city to finish out the park portion of it,” Potter said in a phone interview. “We are a source of income for (park development), potentially.” The parks commission is still about five months away from making any recommendations to the City Council for future use of the properties in question. The next opportunity for the public to give comment on this is anticipated to be Nov. 19 during a Parks Commission meeting. That date is subject to change and the type of meeting (open house, public hearing, regular meeting, etc.) has not be established as of press time.

The new annex for South Sound Critter Care will feature a workshop and living quarters for interns and an aviary. REBECCA GOURLEY, The Reporter
