Kent School District board selects superintendent The board of directors selects Calvin Watts over David Moyer

BY DENNIS BOX Editor

The Kent School District Board of Directors chose Calvin Watts as the of the superinten-

dent of the Kent School District to replace Ed Vargas at the March 25 board meeting.

His starting date for the 201516 school year is still in negotiations.

Watts was chosen over David Moyer. The board narrowed the search to Moyer and Watts following a national search for a superintendent.

In a release from the district board President Debbie Straus

said, “We are pleased to announce the hiring of Dr. Watts.

We were very fortunate to have an outstanding group apply for Calvin Watts the position from around the country and our two finalists possessed many fine qualities. It was a very difficult decision, but we feel Dr. Watt’s background and vision are the best match for our district at this particular point in time and look forward to many years of continued progress with his leadership.”

Vargas announced he was

resigning as superintendent in October 2014 to accept a position as executive vice president for Ed Vargas the national nonprofit AVID, Advancement Via Individual Determination, that focuses on college and career readiness for underserved students in school districts across the United States.

Watts has most recently been assistant superintendent in Gwinnett County Public Schools, Suwanee, Ga. The district enrollment

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 includes a set of policies that outlines the future land use and the overall look and feel of the community.

The Planning Commission updates the MAPLE comprehensive VALLEY plan about every seven years with their recommendations, but the City Council has the final say in whether those changes are adopted. Changes can also be made to the comprehensive plan on an annual basis.

One of the changes proposed in this year’s plan update is to rezone about six parcels of land on the north end of town from its current designation of service commercial to a mix of medium and high density residential.

The land in question – approximately 35 acres – was purchased in conjunction with a lot more land in the late ‘60s by Lois [ more GROWTH page 15 ]

is 174,500 students, 15,600 certificated and classified staff members and a budget of $1.7 billion.

Watts has served in Seattle Public Schools, Atlanta Public Schools, Carrollton City Schools in Georgia and The Archdiocese of Atlanta.

Watts holds a bachelor’s degree in English from Howard University, and received his teaching certification at Western Washington University. His master’s degree in educational administration and supervision is from University of West Georgia, and he earned a doctorate in educational leadership from Argosy University in Atlanta.

Still not making breakfast for kids

Community egg hunts

When my neighbor’s son started driving to school, she asked me if I still got up and made my daughters’ breakfast and lunches. I said, “I never got up and made their breakfast or lunch. However, I do get up and see them off.”

“That’s what I’m talking about,” she said. “Now that they’re driving, do you still get up with them.”

Well, yeah, I still get up with my kids even though they are driving. My oldest was always up early enough to eat a hearty breakfast when she was in high school. The year she started college, her schedule was such that she only had afternoon/evening classes, so it was like she wasn’t even living here in the mornings. Now she’s in a four-year college up in Redmond and she’s totally on her own.

My youngest started driving to school at the end of the last school year, which was her sophomore year.

They like to drive to school rather than take a bus because it gives them another half hour to sleep. I like them driving to school because it means I don’t have to get up and put clothes on to take them to the bus (I have nightmares about getting stuck in the middle of nowhere with my pajamas and slippers on). Their bus stop was a

choice of quick breakfast for the day.

She sees the value of having something in her stomach before she goes to school, so she acquiesces to my concern.

I am perhaps in denial about how much I do for my daughter in the mornings. But I have the feeling she wouldn’t eat, would forget her lunch and would be dehydrated if it wasn’t for my loyalty to my morning routine.

But if you ask me, I’ll still tell you I get up with my daughter, but I don’t make her lunch or breakfast.

There is also the sense, now that my youngest is a junior in high school and my oldest has essentially moved out, that this, sadly for me, won’t last forever. And that is why I still do it for her. Or should I say, “why I don’t”?

I still get up with my youngest daughter. And some would even point out that I make breakfast for her. I don’t really; I kind of force her to eat something before she leaves the house. She’s not hungry when she gets up and would prefer not to eat anything, but as her mother, that’s not going to happen if I can help it. So over the years I’ve tried to find simple things she will eat while she’s putting on her makeup.

For awhile breakfast was a piece of bread spread with Nutella hazelnut/ chocolate spread. I let this go even if it was essentially a piece of bread with sugar on it, because it was at least something in her stomach. More recently she decided to back off sugar and started eating foods that were a bit healthier. Although, looking on the back of that instant oatmeal, I note that the sugar content is just as high. But still, it’s oats, the bread was a good, high-fiber bread; I just take what I can get or rather get in her.

And if it requires I bring it to her, so be it. I don’t like the thought of her leaving the house without something in her stomach. Sometimes I’ll make some muffins or breakfast cookies during the day and she’ll eat those all week. Banana bread also subs in as breakfast.

So in addition to grabbing her lunch out of the fridge and filling a water bottle for her, I also grab her

Mandatory voting could be a boon to our democracy

Ray Still

Courier-Herald Reporter

President Barack Obama spoke in Cleveland two weeks ago and mentioned his support of mandatory (or compulsory) voting in the United States.

The president said it would “completely transform the political map in this country,” and argued mandatory voting would help remove big money from politics, encourage the young, working class and disenfranchised citizens to vote and increase voting turnout numbers.

Many news sources reported 57.5 percent of the American public voted in the 2012 presidential election. That’s not such a bad number - at least the majority of registered voters showed up at the polls.

The number dips to an abysmal 37 percent for the 2014 midterm elections. Although midterm elections don’t have the same turnout as presidential elections, it still means a little more than one-third of registered took control of the governmental wheel, so to speak.

In contrast to the low voter turnout in the US, Australia constantly boasts high voter turnouts. The Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance reported Australia had a registered voter turnout between 93 and 95 percent since 1946.

However, between 78 and 91 percent of the voting age population historically shows up at the polls, so the voting turnout numbers are often debated.

Still, anywhere between 78 and 95 percent of voters at the polls is a great win for democracy, and the high participation numbers are most likely caused by Australia’s mandatory voting system, which fines unregistered voters and citizens who don’t vote about $20.

Admittedly, Australia is one of a minority of 23 countries with mandatory voting laws,

and only one of 10 which enforces those laws, according to the BBC. Other counties that have mandatory voting laws include Costa Rica, Egypt, Lebanon, Argentina and Belgium.

For the sake of argument, let’s assume a supermajority of Americans would rather take the pains to vote than get fined $20, and voting numbers would stretch into 80 percent range for all elections.

Also for the sake of argument, ballots include a “none of the above” option, so voters who truly have no opinion have a voice and can bypass the fine.

The question now is, is it healthy for a democracy to have mandatory voting laws? After all, it is a bit of a paradox – democratic philosophy relies on the freedom of choice, which includes the freedom to not choose, or in this case, the freedom to not vote.

Some arguments against mandatory voting say the average American is incompetent at following political races and their votes for

presidents and congressmen are based on sensationalized headlines and misinformation.

If we were to force the uninformed masses to vote, the argument goes, the political system would become more backwards than it already is. Hence, only the informed should participate in the political system and the ignorant should choose to remove themselves from the game.

Ilya Somin of the Washington Post wrote an opinion article about Obama’s speech, refuting the president’s argument that compulsory voting would help get big money out of politics.

Somin argues, “relatively ignorant voters are more likely to be influenced by simplistic 30 second ads than relatively well-informed ones,” and more money will pour into the political system to sway the uninformed.

This may be so, and as a journalist, I’ve seen how people can be led astray by misinformation from both sides of the political spectrum.

However, I think a mandatory voting system gives many disenfranchised citizens a chance to

This next year I plan to take a break after 16 years of service to you and our community, first on the Planning Commission and then on the City Council. It is again time for change, an opportunity for the council to experience the infusion of fresh ideas and approaches to the situations facing our city both in the near-term and the years ahead.

Even though I have chosen to not seek re-election, I want you to know that I am not abandoning you. I plan to give my position everything I can while I continue to serve out the remainder of my term. After I leave office I plan to stay aware and be involved whenever there is a need for me to speak out as a citizen advocate.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Russell Ridge a K-8 parent-partnered school On March 13, the staff, teachers and parents at Russell Ridge received a letter, telling us that this school, which has served the Tahoma School District for 20 years, would suddenly close at the end of this school year. The district did not follow the law or their required policy when the potential to close a school exists. Many people have never heard of Russell Ridge, or, what they may have heard about the school might be inaccurate.

First, what is Russell Ridge? Russell Ridge is a K-8 parent-partnered public school where parents work with highlyqualified certified teachers to coordinate a learning plan for each student. That plan is fulfilled by onsite and offsite classes and learning. Unlike the statement from

voice their opinion. This would not only far outweigh the cons of uninformed voters participating in the political arena, but it also resolves the paradox of mandatory voting in a democracy.

Elections are run by multimillion dollar PACs and laws are passed by deep-pocketed lobbyists. Money runs the American political system now, not the voters. So maybe it’s time for the government to help the people take back their voice.

In his speech, Obama said, “The people who tend not to vote are young, they’re lower income, they’re skewed more heavily towards immigrant groups and minority groups‌

There’s a reason why some folks try to keep them away from the polls. We should want to get them into the polls.�

Political studies show that many young people, such as myself, vote for more liberally.

The same goes for the working and poor classes, as well as immigrant groups and minorities. It may be a political boon for the Democratic party if a mandatory voting system was installed, but not all conservatives vote during elections either. And not all liberals and conservatives are straight-ticket voters.

Really, no one knows which party, if either, would benefit the most from a mandatory voting system.

son for the non-partisan political advocacy group Get Up! was quoted in a BBC article about Australian mandatory voting. “If you look at the international experience, in non-compulsory voting systems,� he said, “the people who don’t vote are the poor and disenfranchised and those are exactly the people we think should be voting.�

Everyone should have the power to vote, but in recent history the voices of the tired, the poor and the huddled masses have eroded, and the rich and affluent have built walls and towers to consolidate their control.

Maybe the answer isn’t mandatory voting. Maybe we

should make presidential and midterm elections a national holiday, so more people can take the time to vote. If that option is too expensive, then let’s try voting on the weekend.

Maybe laws should be passed to ensure political ads convey truthful and accurate information and money spent on political campaigns should have a cap limit and be made 100 percent transparent. Any of these solutions could be a step towards equality and a more effective government.

But the fact remains that an accessible voting system with a high participation rate will only help a democracy, not hinder it.

And of course, if one party does benefit from a silent

administration doesn’t seem to realize is that Russell Ridge can help these families and, it can help the district address the challenge of overcrowding. Alas, families in the area do not even know that Russell Ridge exists.

We call on the district administration and the school board to inform the public about this great school, that it is a valuable option, and that it can help many students in this great district.

We understand that measurable criteria are required for a school so unique. We want to collaborate with district administration to keep this important school open.

Let us work together. It is much easier to work together now to keep this school open than to close it and try to figure out later how to provide this important kind of learning experience. www.fb.com/SaveRussellRidge

Second, what sorts of students attend Russell Ridge? It is a common misconception that Russell Ridge is “for the troubled kids.� That is not the case. Our students are typical kids who tried traditional neighborhood schools and for different reasons, found that they didn’t work for them. They may have felt stressed or severely unnoticed, many weren’t challenged or they were bored and were thus distracted. Some are quiet kids or were targets of bullying.

They are plain ol’ regular kids. Russell Ridge students aren’t strange or weird or troubled, they’re just kids who need an education.

Third, district administration is keenly aware of the frustrations that Tahoma families feel. They are trying to deal with problems like overcrowding, lack of individual student attention, distracted, bored, and under performing students. What the

Superintendent Morrow, Russell Ridge is not a home-school co-op, nor is it a district “program.� It is a state-approved and state audited ALE (alternative learning experience). It is a school for which the Tahoma School District has received state funds for 20 years. It is this lack of understanding from the district administration and board that many parents at Russell Ridge find frustrating.

At Russell Ridge, each parent meets with their certified teacher/advisor monthly to ensure that their student’s learning plans are progressing. Students typically attend onsite classes between one and four days a week, choosing typical classes like math, science, history and language arts. All classes, both onsite and offsite, bring state funding into the school. Onsite classes are taught by certified teachers and community educators, offsite classes are monitored by the teacher, but taught by parents. Each of these offsite classes brings funds into the district, but they cost the district a very small percentage of what an onsite class at

Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory autoimmune disease that can spread throughout the body and affect many different organs, but it mostly affects the lymph glands and the lungs. The disease causes “granulomas,� masses made up of inflamed tissue, to develop. Sometimes these growths can change the normal structure of an organ and affect its function.

The symptoms of sarcoidosis can be quite diverse, which makes diagnosis a challenge. Most of the time a dry cough, shortness of breath, and unexplained fatigue are present. There may also be swollen joints, red eyes, and tender red bumps or patches on the skin. The cause of sarcoidosis is not known, and there is no cure, but often the disease resolves itself on its own.

In most cases, sarcoidosis resolves on its own with no lasting consequences. But sarcoidosis can be chronic in some people and lead to complications that may affect different parts of the body.

County Council calls for action on wage equity The Metropolitan King County Council unanimously adopted a motion Monday calling on the County Executive Dow Constantine to review and take action on the seven recommendations developed by the board over the last year.

The recommendations were developed after more than a year’s work by the Women’s Advisory Board, which was established in 1978 to ensure that the needs, rights, and wellbeing of women throughout King County are fully considered by the county executive and County Council.

The board’s recommendations included ways to encourage and promote family leave and workplace flexibility, as well actions to achieve wage transparency and end the gender pay equity gap.

The coaching transition begins

BY SARAH WEHMANN Reporter

Come fall Kentlake fans will see a new face leading the Falcons on Friday nights.

Brett Thompson will take Chris Paulson’s spot as head coach for the football team.

Kentlake’s Athletic Director Bruce Rick said in an email Paulson is leaving because he accepted the head coaching position at Curtis High School.

Rick said Thompson was selected from a pool of candidates and they believe his “vision, personality, and knowledge of the game was the right fit for Kentlake’s program.”

Thompson joins the Falcons after spending eight years as an assistant coach at Tahoma.

Tahoma’s Athletic Direc-

tor Tony Davis said in an email Thompson has been a big part of the Bears’ football program.

“He is already missed by our players and coaches,” Davis wrote. “He will have a positive impact on the Kentlake community.”

He also has been teaching social studies for the past 10 years at Tahoma.

It is unknown at this time if Thompson will also be teaching at Tahoma.

The decision to run the Falcons’ football program, Thompson said, is because he has “always wanted to guide an entire football program and help positively impact the lives of young men on a larger scale.”

The next step for Thompson and the Falcons are spring practices.

Thompson said he will be planning those practices as well as organizing sum-

mer events for the team.

Thompson said he is bringing with him a “clear vision (of) how our program will encourage growth in regards to how student-athletes develop on and off the field as young men, as students, as leaders and as athletes.”

The transition to head coach as already begun, he said.

Thompson added that he “owes a tremendous amount to Tony Davis and the entire Tahoma community as they have helped me develop as a teacher, coach and leader for the last decade.”

He said he is also “extremely excited to start working with the Kentlake players and community.”

The Falcons season is set to start Sept. 4 with a home scheduled against Graham Kapowsin.

Life Outdoors!

Outdoor Academy takes to the trails of Taylor Mountain

BY REBECCA GOURLEY Reporter

B

eams of sunlight peaked through the dense second growth of Douglas Firs on Taylor Mountain last Thursday, trying their best to dry out the thick black mud caking the surface of Elk Ridge Trail.

The clouds parted that day perhaps because they knew a team of 80 energetic sophomores from Tahoma High School were about to get muddy.

The students are enrolled in Outdoor Academy, an integrated program at Tahoma Senior High School. The class is a combination of three subject areas taught by three teachers, advanced placement environmental science, language arts and health and fitness.

The learning is a handson, interactive, real-world approach that lasts the entire school year. Last Thursday, the crew took to Taylor Mountain, northeast of Hobart, to work on fixing drainage issues on Elk Ridge Trail.

The trail, which runs parallel to the Cedar River Watershed boundary and on land owned by Seattle Public Utilities, is maintained by King County Parks and Washington Trails Association volunteers.

Because the trail was established along the flattest part of the ridge instead of near the slope, the lack of proper drainage causes it to become extremely muddy during the off season when it’s closed.

As part of their class, the 80 students from Tahoma, along with volunteers from WTA and King County Parks, worked on establishing proper drainage by carving funnels along the trail for water runoff.

Elk Ridge Trail connects to several other trails on Taylor Mountain and is predominantly used by horse riders. After trekking through the mudcovered trail for about a mile, hikers will see the trail split into two, which is about where the Taylor Mountain Forest boundary is.

Because Taylor Mountain isn’t labeled on any satellite maps, the locations of its trails are fairly unknown to people that haven’t been led there before.

For those that want to see the beauty of the second growth forest along Elk Ridge Trail in the late summer months, once the land has had a chance to dry out, follow these directions.

Take state Route 18 to the Hobart exit, follow 276th Ave Southeast south

A group of sophomores from Tahoma High School enrolled in the Outdoor Academy worked for several hours March 26 on the Elk Ridge Trail on Taylor Mountain. REBECCA GOURLEY, The Reporter and turn left onto 208th Street. You’ll see a sign that says, “No access to Rattlesnake Mountain.”

Keep going. Follow

Southeast 208th Street until you see a large gravel pullout with signs that instruct you to not park on the pavement. Don’t

park on the pavement. If you parked on the south side of the road, the trailhead will be to your left, or on the north side

Don’t break out the frost-sensitive plants just yet

Q.

clematis stems to the ground for a fresh start? I do not want to kill this clematis as the flowers are lovely. P.P., Puyallup I vote to give Mr. President the ponytail cut now for a fresh start on the new support system. The ponytail cut is when you grab all the stems in one hand about a foot from the soil level and snip like you would if you were cutting off a ponytail.

If you prune a summer-flowering clematis in early spring it will still elect to give you blooms that same summer – just expect the flowers to show up later in the season. Most overgrown clematis vines can be pruned back to 12 to 18 inches from the ground if necessary to clean them up or start fresh growth.

I decided to patch some bare spots in my old lawn last month so I spread a sandy, two-way mix of soil in

he month of April is a warning to April fools.

Spring may be sprung but summer is still months away and this is not the month to introduce frost-sensitive plants to the garden no matter how mild our winter weather. Do not plant geraniums, petunias, tomatoes, cucumbers or other warmth-loving plants until after all danger of frost has passed – usually sometime in mid-May. April is a good month for planting trees, shrubs, roses, perennial plants like hosta and rock garden plants as well as hardy sedums and succulents and cool-season vegetables.

I have clematis that flower in the summer – I think it is called Mr. President.

It had been growing on a trellis but the wood has rotted and I want to replace the old trellis with one made from metal.

My question: can I cut the long

Q.

the empty spots, sprinkled grass seed then covered the seed with compost that I purchased in a bag from the garden center. It has been four weeks and no sign of new grass sprouting. What do you think happened? C.C., Renton.

The clue to this mystery of the disappearing grass seed is that you covered the seed with compost. Grass seed will not sprout in cool weather if it is hidden under a blanket of damp compost. Just barely cover the seed with a very thin layer of peat moss or a tiny bit of compost by raking the topdressing lightly over the seed. In Western Washington our damp spring weather means grass seed will sprout sooner if left uncovered – if you can keep the birds from removing the seed. When it comes to planting bare spots you can now find “lawn patch repair� seed mixes that are sold with bits of tissue paper and mulch mixed right into the seed. This is a good way to seed the lawn without bury-

ing the lawn seed too deep while still protecting it from the birds.

I bought a dwarf mugo pine a few years ago and it is now 4 feet tall and 4 feet wide! My neighbor has a dwarf burning bush with the name “compacta� at the end that has also grown into a huge shrub 5 feet tall. We have very small yards and want to know if there are any shrubs that will stay dwarf or compact. We no longer trust the plant tags that say a shrub is dwarf. M., email Snow White is not the only lady that loves dwarfs and you can find your own true love of dwarf evergreens at local nurseries. Just ask for “true dwarfs� that will grow just one inch or one-half inch a year. The cone-shaped dwarf Alberta Spruce comes in both a semi-dwarf form (the most common) and a true dwarf that will stay less than 2 feet tall after 10 years. There are also evergreens with round bun forms, weeping forms and lovely upright but very narrow

forms that serve as “exclamation pointsâ€? in the landscape. These “true dwarfsâ€? are often sold as rock garden conifers or dish garden conifers. These compact dwarfs may cost more than the more common evergreens but they are so well-behaved, tidy and hardworking that they are worth the investment – so off to work they go. • • •

Toddler in critical but stable condition after fall

BY SARAH WEHMANN Reporter

On March 26 4-year-old Kensington Morland was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center from Maple Valley.

She fell from a second story window at her home, her mom Holly Morland said.

The family had just moved into their home about three weeks ago, she said.

The child landed on concrete below, Maple Valley Fire and Life Safety Deputy Chief Dave O’Brien said Thursday.

She was airlifted from Rock Creek Elemen-

tary’s playground around 1:15 p.m., Kevin Patterson, director of Communication for the Tahoma School District said.

Morland said her daughter suffered a traumatic brain injury.

She said her surgery went well and she is now in critical but stable condition.

She remains at Harborview in the intensive care unit.

A GoFundMe page was set up three days ago to raise money for the Morland’s.

So far 85 people have donated a total of $12,150.
