Church celebrates four years of community meals Covington

proposition planned for April ballot

BY REBECCA GOURLEY Reporter

C

edarcreek Covenant Church in Maple Valley celebrated four years of serving free hot meals to the community every Friday night last week. And it’s all thanks to one woman, Lisa Leonard.

Leonard lives in Black Diamond and started the community meal program after realizing there was a great need for it.

Now, a total of four community churches throughout the area serve community meals in Enumclaw, Hobart, Black Diamond and Maple Valley. The food is donated by The Storehouse in Covington, a food distribution program that helps families in need.

Leonard is the face of the program and she’s also the cook.

The volunteers serve about 35-40 people at the Cedarcreek Covenant Church on a weekly basis. But, Leonard’s job doesn’t stop there. After she gets the evening rolling by serving the first group of hungry patrons, she packs up 20 more servings into her personal car and drives out to the gorge community near Black Diamond where she serves even more people.

Leonard also has several stops along the way where she delivers sack lunches for the weekend to different people in need.

She said the people are incredibly grateful, for not only the hot meal, but also for the smile she brings them.

The community meals on Friday nights are not just open to people in need of a hot meal, anyone from the community can join. [ more MEALS page 3 ]

The city of Covington planned to send a proposal to fund street and sidewalk improvements through a sales tax increase to King County Elections for the April 28 special election ballot this week.

The city’s Transportation Benefit District recommended a 0.002 sales tax increase for the improvements be placed on the April ballot and if accepted by the county will appear as Proposition No. 1.

The City Council approved a resolution at the Feb. 10 meeting supporting the proposition.

According to information provided by the city, the increase would expire in 10 years and would equal $0.20 for every $100 in taxable purchases.

City Manager Regan Bolli said by email Tuesday, Proposition 1 will create a revenue stream of roughly $750,000 per year for street and sidewalk maintenance throughout Covington. Maintenance projects will be prioritized and accomplished on that basis. Using a sales tax increase to fund street and sidewalk maintenance means the cost for such projects is shared with all those shopping in our city and not just Covington residents.”

Lisa Leonard, of Black Diamond, has been serving hot meals to more than 50 people in Maple Valley and beyond every week for the last four years. REBECCA GOURLEY, The Reporter

Planning Commission recommends residential zoning for Elk Run

BY REBECCA GOURLEY Reporter

The Maple Valley Planning Commission is in the middle of discussing and revising the city’s comprehensive plan. Required by the state’s Growth Management Act, the plan is a set of policies that outline the future land use and the overall look and feel of the community.

The Planning Commission updates the comprehensive plan about every seven years with their

recommendations, but the City Council has the final say whether those changes get adopted or not.

Changes can also be made to the comprehensive plan on an annual basis.

There are several major changes proposed by the commission in this plan update so far. Included in that is the potential rezoning of the back nine of Elk Run Golf Course from public use to residential.

In future issues of the Reporter, more of the suggested changes in

[ more PROP page 2 ]

the comprehensive plan will be addressed.

Elk Run The Elk Run Golf Course closed in mid-October 2014 when nine of their 18 holes – that the owners were leasing at the time – were sold by King County to the Tahoma School District.

With nine holes still owned by the course owners, Ray Humphreys and Daryl Connell, they decided to close up shop.

Now, single family homes and town homes could be making their way onto the greens.

From Maple Valley to Afghanistan and back Maple Valley man spends almost three years in Afghanistan as a linguist and cultural adviser

F

rom cleaning carpets to dodging land mines and eluding snipers in southern Afghanistan, Najib Noori has quite a tale to tell.

Najib’s story started in Afghanistan, where he was born. He dropped out of high school halfway through his junior year to avoid joining the military once he graduated.

At the age of 20, Najib and his family moved from Kabul, Afghanistan to Pakistan as refugees around the same time the Soviet Union was pulling their troops out of Najib’s home country – 1988. After living in Pakistan for about two years, the family of 11 gained political asylum and moved to America.

Najib’s father, Latif, worked for Pan

[ PROP from page 1] According to Bolli the city has been spending about $250,000 each year from the general fund for street and sidewalk repairs. The lack of funds has prevented the city from taking action on many street repair and maintenance projects.

Bolli said the revenue collected from the tax increase would be placed in a dedicated fund for streets.

The state sales tax of .065 plus local taxes from the state Department of Revenue has

American World Airways while in Afghanistan, so getting asylum wasn’t very difficult, Najib said.

The family chose to relocate to Seattle after a friend who lived on Vashon Island, and who had previously lived in Afghanistan, recommended the Emerald City.

Speaking very little English, Najib started taking college classes at South Seattle Community College to improve his language skills. The culture and customs in the Middle East are very different compared to the U.S., he said.

In the classroom, Najib was accustomed to standing up when he addressed the instructor. That practice, a normalcy in Afghanistan, was pretty foreign to most of his teachers, he said. “‘That’s because of respect,’” Najib recalled saying to his teacher. “‘That’s what we do in Afghanistan.’”

Najib started working for Coit, a national carpet and home cleaning company, in 1994. He worked there for 16 years, seven of which he earned the title “employee of the year.”

In 2011, Najib said he saw a TV commercial for a contract job working as a linguist in Afghanistan for the U.S. military.

“They were looking for someone who knew the language, the culture,” he said.

Because he knew two languages in Afghanistan and he grew up in the culture, it seemed like a perfect fit.

He applied and after numerous background checks, including FBI agents interviewing his neighbors, he was accepted and deployed in November that same year.

Arboretum history Unlike most arboretums or gardens, Lake Wilderness Arboretum did not begin as a privately owned estate or as part of a government project. The development of Maple Valley’s arboretum is considered a Cinderella story.

The idea of a public arboretum in south King County began to take form in 1965 at a meeting in the Renton home of George Tersiisky, an immigrant from Bulgaria. Enthused by his dream, Ardis Johnson, Lillie Wagner and Isabel Hogan became the first supporters of the idea and recruited

like-minded volunteers to design a blueprint for action.

The team incorporated a non-profit foundation in the state of Washington that same year as the South King County Arboretum Foundation, which is now known as the Lake Wilderness Arboretum Foundation.

Busy years followed as the founders addressed the many needs of a young, all-volunteer organization with limited funds and minimal public familiarity. They established a logo brand for the foundation, which features a flower of the Pacific dogwood (cornus nuttallii), a plant native to the Pacific Northwest. Then they began to search for an appropriate and affordable site.

FORMER TAHOMA STUDENT GRADUATES FROM BASIC TRAINING

David Pilgrim is back on a dais working for a cause that is a perfect fit for the former Maple Valley city councilman.

The King County Council unanimously approved Pilgrim for Position No. 2 on the King County Landmarks Commission. The term lasts though 2018.

County Councilman Reagan Dunn, who represents the Maple Valley area, said in a press release Pilgrim has been, “active in the Maple Valley commu-

nity for over 20 years.”

Pilgrim will be representing the local heritage organizations.

“I am excited to be appointed to the King County Landmark Commission and look forward to being involved in preserving important historical areas in the county,” Pilgrim said in the release. “While I was on the Maple Valley City Council, I was involved in the renovation of the Lake Wilderness Lodge in Maple Valley and look forward to continuing that work on a larger scale. It is an honor to have (Councilman)

Reagan Dunn’s support and I enjoy serving the public in this capacity.”

Pilgrim is a board member of the Maple Valley Historical Society and served on the City Council for eight years.

Pilgrim is the manager for Junction True Value Hardware in West Seattle.

The nine-member Landmarks Commission was established in 1980 to ensure the historic places, material culture and traditions that best reflect the region’s history are preserved for future generations.

LIBRARY ADVISORY BOARD OPENINGS

ARTS COMMISSION OPENINGS

The city of Maple Valley is recruiting applicants for three appointments to serve on the city’s Library Advisory Board, one regular member, one alternate member and a youthat-large member.

The five-member board meets bimonthly on the first Thursday of the month, at 7 p.m., with the first meeting of each year taking place in February.

The deadline to apply is March 20. Applications can be found at City Hall and online at www.maplevalleywa.gov.

The city of Covington is seeking art enthusiasts to apply for open Arts Commission positions.

The commission currently meets at City Hall the second Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m.

Further information on the commission can also be found on the city’s website at www.covingtonwa.gov.

Applicants will receive notification when their application has been received, and an interview schedule will be established.

Some come mainly for the conversation. For others, it might be their only time out of the house.

Leonard also said this meal is for some the only hot meal during the week.

“If it weren’t for meals like this, we would have people starving,” she said.

But these people don’t always need material items and food to get them through the day. Sure, basic hygiene products are a necessity, but, more than that, Lisa said they just need to

be productive.

Clean clothes, a warm shower and something to do can go a long way, she said.

She has hired a few homeless people over the years to do odd jobs around her house because they needed a few extra dollars.

But, something that anyone can give, no matter where they are in their lives, is a smile and a greeting to people that may never get a single ‘hello’ all day long, Leonard said.

“A smile, it’s so easy to give,” she said.

Benefit breakfast next weekend for Greater Maple Valley Community Center Radio personality and author Mike Gastineau will deliver the keynote address at the Greater Maple Valley Community Center’s benefit breakfast on Saturday, March 21.

Mike “The Gasman” Gastineau wrote a book, “Sounders FC: Authentic Masterpiece”, documenting the inside story of the most successful sports franchise launch in American history. It details the story of the Seattle Sounders football club. An expansion franchise in name only, the Sounders set attendance records and won games from the very first night they took the field. Learn about the people who were involved in this inspiring story from the guys in the front office to the players on the pitch.

In addition to Gastineau’s address, the benefit breakfast will feature the unveiling of the community center’s “Four Pillars of Service” campaign.

The breakfast, one of the center’s largest fundraisers of the year, will also feature the presentation of the third annual Community First Awards.

The event will at the community center, 22010 SE 248th St, Maple Valley, with doors opening at 9 a.m. The breakfast and the program begins at 9:30 a.m. To reserve a seat for the breakfast contact Mark Pursley at markp@maplevalleycc.org or at 425-432-1272.

Q.

My car has recently started making a squeal noise while driving that actually goes away when I apply the brakes. What could be wrong?

A.

Most likely your brake pads are worn sufficiently enough to allow their “wear indicators” or “sensor” to touch the disc brake rotor. When this occurs the “sensor” emits that high pitch noise designed to warn you that your brakes need immediate attention. Have them checked promptly by a certified brake system specialist and have the brakes serviced before expensive damage or loss of brakes occurs. Stop by East Hill Auto Service and get a courtesy inspection today.

EPILEPSY Epilepsy is a brain disorder characterized by seizures.

People often think seizures “happen” the way they see them in movies: A person loses consciousness and falls to the ground with muscle spasms. While it’s true that these grand mal (or “generalized tonic-clonic”) seizures exist, epilepsy is not limited to these dramatic episodes. “Absence seizures” cause people to stare into space with more subtle twitches such as eye blinks or lip smacks. “Atonic seizures” cause a sudden collapse, “myoclonic seizures” cause twitches of the arms or legs, and “tonic seizures” cause sudden stiffness in the muscles. Sometimes there is no known cause for epilepsy. Other times it can be traced to disease, trauma, or other health issues. Always seek medical care for a firsttime seizure.

The treatment prescribed for epilepsy depends on several factors, including the frequency and severity of the seizures and the person’s age, overall health, and medical history.

Treatments have come a long way, and healthcare providers have more than twice as many epilepsy medications to choose from than they did 10 years ago.

For more information, please call Southlake Clinic at (253) 395-1972. Our Covington clinic is located at 27005 168th Place SE. Our primary care providers are supported by a network of multi-specialty physicians and services.

Nothing beats postseason pace I have been running around and staying up too late the last few weekends covering the state winter sports tournaments, primarily at the Tacoma Dome.

The true fun of this job for me is covering a wide array of sports. Once the state tournaments begin I get to run from one sport to the another, sending my crazy-person meter into the zippy zone.

I am most fortunate to be able to shoot photographs for a number of Sound Publishing newspapers, which means I may be covering Class 2A, 3A and 4A in one day.

A couple of weeks ago, I shot wrestling, gymnastics and district (I think… can’t remember) basketball on a Saturday.

The Mat Classic wrestling tournament lived up to its name once again.

While the Mat Classic is rolling, state gymnastics is happening at the same time in Dome’s the Exhibition Hall, which increases the chaotic spin while reporters and shooters run back and forth trying to time who is where and when.

Gymnastics is one of my favorites to shoot. It is challenging and, unfortunately, the lighting at the Dome is mediocre at best.

Every year I marvel at the athleticism of gymnasts. There are times it still stops me and I forget to press the shoot button.

The stretching exercises those girls do before competition would punch my ticket to the morgue. I couldn’t get on the beam without a ladder, much less walk on the thing.

I have asked the WIAA to give gymnasts and wrestlers separate weekends for the state tournament. One group or the other gets shorted because many newspapers these days don’t have the staff to cover both properly and, in my experience, many publications short gymnastics.

That’s a shame. Those girls deserve the spotlight.

Understanding the geography of red, blue Do you know why federal senators serve six-year terms while representatives from the House serve only two?

House representation is based upon population and, because representatives’ terms are shorter, they are closer to what the voters are thinking and feeling. Understanding and listening to public opinion is vital to the success of our representative democracy.

Senators were originally elected by state legislatures, until the 17th Amendment was passed in 1913 allowing election by popular vote. The two senators from each state have six-year terms to separate them from their constituents – to give them long-term thinking. Since they have six years to be re-elected, senators are not as concerned about popular opinion.

They are supposed to deliberate on issues rather than reflect the mood of the public.

This tension between short-term

The work they put in to reach a competitive level, and still go to school, is daunting.

Last weekend Sarah Wehmann and I were covering 4A basketball for the south sound papers – Kentwood, Federal Way and Todd Beamer.

Saturday and Sunday featured three of the best basketball games I have covered in many years.

The Federal Way boys won the title, but were taken right to the brink by Union in the semifinal. A block by Jalen McDaniels in the last 10 seconds sealed it. Remember that name.

The 4A girls had two heart stoppers that left even jaded reporters shaking their heads.

and long-term thinking in Congress was meant to create a balance between forces that all of us deal with every day of our lives. Do we think only for the moment, or do we plan for the future?

As I tell my civics and government students, that depends.

Depends on what? It depends on the circumstances of each situation and, for us humans, it is one of the most difficult things we have to do in order to navigate the endless decisions we face each day.

When I was in my teens and 20s, I was impatient and impulsive. As a result, I made decisions in a hurry, not thinking of the potential consequences. After I made a number of major errors, saying things that popped into my head, for instance, I came to the realization that my impulsivity was getting me in trouble.

I found that if I slowed down and thought things through and did some research, my decisions turned out to be better, especially if I weighed opposing extremes to decide where the best mid[ more ELFERS page 8 ] In Focus

Commission did best for city and property owners Statement to Maple Valley City Council and Planning Commission joint meeting on March 9.

I want to express my interpretation of the process that the Planning Commission has gone through in composing the proposal before you. First they have been the most involved Planning Commission that I have experienced. They have had 15 to 25 or more residents, builders, investors, designers involved at each of the meetings. They have sifted through some very good information, a lot of general information

a good deal of misinformation, lack of information and refusal to provide information.

Their debates have covered all of this plus individual investigation as well as sifting through public comments both at the meetings and letters to Planning Commission.

The debate has been spirited at times. They have done their best to weigh all the information or lack thereof in making the presentation of what they unanimously feel is the best for the city of Maple Valley and the property owners.

BY REPORTER STAFF

The new Wendy’s in Covington will have their grand opening March 16.

The restaurant, located at 16703 SE 272nd Street, boasts an ultramodern design based on Midwestern contemporary architecture and was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, according to a release from the company.

A few of the exterior design features include large windows to bring light into the dining room and outdoor patio seating.

“It’s very different from what our customers are used to but we think they’ll really like the fresh look and feel of the new Wendy’s.” said David A. Antis, Divisional Vice President of the 46-restaurant Wendy’s franchise entity in Seattle.

Remodeling restaurants is part of a multi-year strategy to reinvigorate the Wendy’s brand throughout North America and the way customers interact with Wendy’s. The brand strategy involves re-imaging the entire Wendy’s menu, as evidenced by past launches of several new items, such as Strawberry Fields Salad, Pretzel Bacon Cheeseburger and Pretzel Pub Chicken and Smoke Gouda Chicken on Brioche.

However, he added, some students will be doing running start and won’t be on campus full-time because they will be taking college classes.

Superintendent Rob Morrow echoed Patterson’s assessment and said all 2,400 students will likely not be on campus at one time.

Patterson also said at the time the construction plans were created for the

new high school, they were based on demographic data that was dated prior to November 2013 – when the bond was passed.

“At that time, there were no plans for rezoning areas of the city to create additional housing,” he said.

Patterson said the school board and the district do not take positions on community development and they will need more information about proposed residential construction to

assess what the impact to student enrollment will be.

Based on the number of acres available for development at Elk Run and the residential density, Torpey said the owners are requesting R6 – six units per acre – the number of homes is not likely to exceed 100.

However, there are also other properties in the city the Planning Commission is considering recommending be zoned for development into medium and high-density residential.

One is about 35 acres on the northern end of town.

The other chunk is behind Safeway at Four Corners and is about 5 acres according to King County Assessor records. A more in-depth look at those properties will be featured in an upcoming issue of the Reporter.

In general, new developments could affect enrollment, Morrow said.

“Any additional development... certainly has an impact on enrollment,” Morrow said.

and Community Development director for Maple Valley, said although there have been no official development proposals or plans made, “The property owner has indicated they would like to develop the property.”

Attempts were made to contact the owners, but they were not immediately available.

Senior Planner for the city, Matt Torpey, said the owners have estimated only about 16 of the 85 acres are actually developable.

The limitations exist because of two Bonneville Power Administration power lines running through the property and with easements, and Cranmar Creek that also runs through the property. The creek is salmon-bearing which increases the setbacks on it.

Not only that, Torpey said the wetland associated with the creek also has its own setbacks.

Still, despite having only about 19 percent of their land available for development, residents in the area are still concerned.

Robert Young, who has lived near Elk Run for 10 years said he doesn’t want to see any more development.

“The area is getting so congested as it is,” he said in a phone interview.

Instead, he said, he would like to see a community dog park on the site.

Young also said he thought the city wasn’t considering the impact more housing developments would have on school enrollment.

The current enrollment for Tahoma High School is 1,600, which includes

Old cell phone use warning Washington State E911 officials are warning the public that letting children use old, unused cell phones can lead to unintentional calls to 911 that slow down the system.

According to E911, one in three calls to 911 is accidental.

When children are given old cell phones, it is easy for them to accidentally call 911. Most people do not know that a cell phone call still call 911 – even if the phone has no service. All it needs is a charged battery and a cell signal.

When a call to 911 is made accidentally by a child, call receivers at 911 centers must take the time to interview the child or call the number back during a hang-up to ensure that the call is not, in fact, intentional.

These false calls can disrupt the 911 system and delay other calls to 911 that are real emergencies.

What can you do to reduce false calls?

• Keep cell phones “locked” • Remove the phone’s battery when storing it • Do not allow children to play with cell phones Last year there were more than 6 million calls to 911 in Washington state.

An additional 2 million calls were made to state non-emergency reporting numbers.

The Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority and other state agencies are working to reduce the number of accidental 911 calls, keeping phone lines open for true emergencies.

Grow yourself a summer dinner by adding basil, spaghetti squash, cucumbers, oregano and more tomatoes. Look for compact or bush varieties that won’t take up much room and be sure all your containers have good drainage and that you are using a lightweight potting soil. In a small garden, grow what you are most likely to eat. In hot spots with little room, grow Mediterranean herbs that can handle the heat reflected off of the building.

The second week of March means it is time to plant. Pea seeds can go directly into the ground along with cool-season crops like lettuce, kale, Swiss chard, beets, radishes and spinach.

Don’t even think of planting warm-loving tomatoes, squash or eggplants yet and it is still too early to start tomato seeds indoors – they’ll grow leggy before the weather warms up enough to set them outdoors.

You can add instant color to the landscape by planting flowering shrubs like azaleas, rhodies, viburnums and daphne. Pink, lavender and white heathers and the heavenly and hugely popular hellebores are also available at area nurseries now for

Current Employment Opportunities at www.soundpublishing.com

STAFF WRITER Seattle Weekly is seeking a Staff Writer to join its editorial team and help chronicle the fastest growing city in the U.S. The Staff Writer will be responsible for contributing high-quality news and feature stories with a focus on in-depth reporting and narrative storytelling. The right candidate will be somebody who feels more at home in the field rather than in front of a screen. In other words, if you think stringing tweets together can pass as a story, or prefer to conduct interviews over e-mail, this is not the job for you.

This Staff Writer will be someone adept at, and perhaps addicted to, covering local politics and social-justice issues, but who can also sniff out the odd story about emergent trends in the tech sector or the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sports culture. She or he will come to every editorial staff meeting with two or three new ideas for stories, and will walk away frustrated if the editor only bites on one.

Seattle Weekly is committed to delivering exceptional content to our readers each week, which means that the right candidate will know how to properly nurture a story, working closely with an editor on multiple rewrites to produce a piece that readers will enjoy, respect, and share, even if they disagree with it. He or she will be patient enough to let a story develop, but will also be capable of executing an unreasonably quick turnaround, and will be impeccable in observing deadlines. And the Staff Writer will excel at crafting long-form features, though he or she will also be able to deliver impactful, thoroughly reported accounts in just 800 words.

Since Seattle is an unusually competitive market, the Staff Writer will need to possess an ability to uncover stories that readers wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find anywhere else. Second only to that is an insatiable desire to find a new angle on a well-trod story, revealing something new about a subject that other reporters might think is over and done with. She or he must be able to talk to people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to tell their story, or who maybe think they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a story to tell. The right candidate will be smart enough to find the right sources and brave enough to ask the next, tougher question.

Production/Labor

The Staff Writer will also be a delight to work withâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;serious about the task at hand, but able to contribute to a convivial office environment and to participate in group projects with consideration, honesty, and enthusiasm.

@ +4+8'2 &581+8 - Press - Everett

And, most important, the Staff Writer must possess the ability to surprise her or his editor. If you are used to setting the bar high and then clearing it with ease, this could very well be the job for you.

Circulation @ /8);2':/54 '4'-+8 - Issaquah - Snoqualmie

To apply, please send a cover letter, resume, and your five favorite stories to: hreast@soundpublishing.com. Please note: ATTN: SWSEA in the subject line.

in the country, he said. He and his team of U.S. Army soldiers traveled, usually by foot, from village to village.

Some days those journeys would be 10 or more miles one way. He interpreted for the American soldiers and advised them on the cultural customs they encountered.

The differences between American and Afghanistan culture vary, and not just in a classroom setting. A lot of Americans only have war films as a point of reference for these differences. And, according to Najib, those films are generally pretty accurate.

One culturally contrasting situation Najib described involved respect for the women of the household. If the soldiers needed to search a residence and there was a woman in the house, it would have been highly offensive to conduct the search. Najib said he

Najib worked as a linguist and cultural adviser for the U.S. military with top secret security clearance until September 2014. During those nearly three years, he came home to Maple Valley only once and it was for just one month.

He said he was able to talk with his wife, Hamida, and two young daughters, Sahar and Sadaf, every night via Skype. But the time away from them was still difficult, he said.

And the feeling is mutual.

Even though they came to Maple Valley while Najib was already overseas, Russ, a Vietnam veteran, said they have no trouble striking up conversation.

Beverly and Hamida also share conversation over coffee, despite their completely different backgrounds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have asked for better neighbors,â&#x20AC;? Russ said.
