Change coming to councils, fire and school boards BY DENNIS BOX dbox@maplevalleyreporter.com
The elections results rolled in at about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 8 with some interesting returns in city council races in Maple Valley and Black Diamond as well as thumbs up for the liquor initiative. In the Maple Valley City Council races the King County Elections website had Sean P. Kelly with a comfortable 10 Sean Kelly percentage point lead over Bill Woodcock for Position No. 1. The two were vying for a spot vacated by Dana Parnello, who was appointed to fill a seat left open when former Mayor Laure Iddings resigned
in December 2009, two years into her term. Parnello’s obligation is complete at the end of December. In the race for Position No. 5 Mayor Noel Gerken, the incumbent, was ahead of challenger Karen Crowe by nearly 6 percent. Gerken is seeking a third term on the Maple Valley City Council. The two incumbents in the Black Diamond City Council races were on the losing side of the numbers by landslide margins. Noel Gerken Tamie L. Boxx-Deady was leading incumbent Kristine Hanson by nearly 47 percent and Ron Taylor was ahead of Leih Mulvihill by about 58 percent.
Joe May came out with a similar margin over Pam McCain. May was ahead by about 55 percent. In the only contested race in Covington the incumbent, Marlla Mhoon, was easily beating Joseph Cimaomo, Jr. by about 28 percent for Position No. 1. In the Kent School District School Board races incumbent Debbie Straus was leading Leslie Hamada by nearly 18 percent. Russell Hanscom was ahead of Larry Sims for Director District No. 1 by more than 30 percent. Hanscom told the Reporter in October that he may not be able to take the position if he won the election.

James Manning wanted to offer some direction to young men at Kentwood High School. He wasn’t sure exactly how he was going to do it or which students he would work with, but, Manning was determined to find a way. What started out as a desire to be a mentor on Manning’s part has developed into a self-sustaining mentorship program for boys and girls at Kentwood known as CHOICES. “I’m kind of reflective,” Manning said. “I have five kids of my own. So, all these kids were coming into my house… I was wondering if any of those boys were like me. I was a boy who lost his father at 15.” As he transitioned from adolescence to manhood, Manning said, he didn’t have a strong male figure to offer direction “but I was lucky to have a strong mother.” As a 20 year veteran of the Seattle Police Department, Manning knows what happens to young men, especially young black men, who don’t have that kind of guidance in their lives. As a dad, he has a child who graduated from Kentwood and
Earlier in the city’s short history Maple Valley relied on money generated by the housing construction boom, but city officials and staff have long known that would not last forever. According to City Manager David Johnston, the city is limited in what it can do to compensate for the changing market, and what it can do may not be the most popular tactic in a down economy. “The only other option we have is to raise revenue,” he said. MAPLE And the revVALLEY enue won’t be coming from the construction of new houses — a source the city had previously depended upon. The city is expecting 150 single family residential permits for 2011. While this is up from 125 from 2010 and 93 in 2009, it pales in comparison to 2005, when there was 452 permits. “We’re not seeing as many houses bought and sold, and the ones that are being sold are at a far less value, so you’re seeing a volume and reduction that’s impacting our revenue,” Johnston

After school goes to the DAWGS BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@covingtonreporter.com
T
o help students improve their results on the Measurement of Student Progress (MSP) exams, Covington Elementary has started a new extended learning program called the DAWG Pack. It had its first meeting on Nov 1., and is offered from 3:45-5 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Angela Stave, Family And Community Engagement facilitator for Covington Elementary, stated the program focuses on third through fifth grade students who need assistance in reading, writing or math, areas in which students are tested on the MSP. “It’s going to be a great thing for the kids at the school,� she said. “It’s a program designed to give kids a boost in those areas.� The DAWG Pack is based on a Century 21 grant program design, but, is funded entirely through Title I and III funds. Also participating in the program are fifth grade teacher Lisa Aldrich and para educators Kulwinder Bains, Claudia Holzberger and Aida Willis.
The program hopes to emulate earlier successes Covington Elementary has seen in academic improvement. In September, the school announced that nearly 72 percent of last year’s fifth grade students met or exceeded the state standard on the science assessment, the highest in the entire Kent School District. In 2009, less than 15 percent of the fifth grade students had met the standard. According to Education Assistant Lisa Couch, the main emphasis is on students who have scored just below the passing grade for the three sections. Teachers, as well as para educators, help the students with their skills either in the library or in a classroom. The students then rotate after 25 minutes. “We’re targeting students who are right on the bubble, then give them that extra push,� she said. “We felt this year we wanted to be more intentional about what we are doing.� At the moment the program is invitation only. There are 28 students currently participating, but, the hope is to have 36 within a week. In January, they will move onto a second wave of students, at

Woodrow Joseph Dougherty is nearly five times older than the city of Maple Valley. A Hobart native, he was born 100 years ago today, Nov. 11, 1911, the 11th day of the 11th month of the 11th year. With old age comes certain bragging rights. Dougherty is able to say things — such as attending high school during Prohibition — which few others can. He is also able to say he bought a house during the Great Depression when everyone else was losing theirs. Living on a farm in Hobart for 40 years, he
can recall a time before there was an urban growth boundary and when the Maple Valley Historical Museum was still a schoolhouse. Life, as he would put it, has been good to him. At 24, he married his high school sweetheart with whom he had seven children. He and his wife are weeks away from their 76th wedding anniversary. “I’ve had a wonderful life,� he said.
FROM A SOUTH DAKOTA ORPHANAGE TO SEATTLE Dougherty was born John Julius Vandeviere, in Garretson, S.D., to Belgian immigrants Ed and Mathilda Vandeviere. His father was a horse
trainer and helped domesticate wild horses. When he was 1, his father moved up to North Dakota for work. After he left, their mother sent both Dougherty and his 2-year-old brother, Spencer, to the Children’s Home Society, an orphanage in Sioux Falls. The exact reason for this is not known for certain, though a precise explanation really doesn’t matter to Dougherty. “She couldn’t hack it, so she put us in an orphanage,� he said of his birth mother. Sometime later, their father was killed when one of the horses he was training kicked him in the head. After only three weeks in the orphanage, Dougherty was adopted by Joe and Ruby Dougherty and his name was changed to Woodrow Joseph Dougherty. The Doughertys were [ more NUMBER page 4 ]

They wanted to take care of us, but, someone had already come and adopted my brother.� He would not see his brother again until 1958. Although this occurred before Woodrow Dougherty could remember, the split between him and his brother — all while their mother was still alive — is something he rarely talks about. His adoptive father, Joe, was a traveling salesman, and when Woodrow was 8 the family moved from South Dakota and settled in Seattle, an event which he still praises the family for. “I thank God for the Doughertys,� he said. “They got me out of South Dakota.� They lived in the White Center area where he attended West Seattle High School. One day, he met a girl two classes below him named Margaret Bingham. Both of them were turning opposite corners around the school building and accidentally bumped into each other. Bingham was carrying her textbooks in her arms and dropped them all over the ground, which
her. Initially, nothing seemed to come of it, until one of Dougherty’s friends developed a crush on Bingham’s best friend. Nervous about meeting her at her house, he asked Dougherty to go with him, to which he agreed. There Dougherty met Bingham again. “The rest is history,� he said. “It just seemed we had the same interests.� Both Catholic, they married on Nov. 23, 1935, at the Holy Family Parish in Seattle. Their first child, Susan, was born the next year. While Dougherty claims his accidental collision with his wife “had nothing to do with our relationship,� his daughter, Betty Dougherty Richardson, said it has since remained in family history. “Mom must have told that story a thousand times,� she said.
THE GREAT DEPRESSION After Dougherty graduated from West Seattle High in 1930, he moved into Fauntleroy, a Seattle neighborhood. By then, the stock market had crashed and the preliminary signs of the Great Depression were beginning to show in the form of unemployment lines and house foreclosures. “It was hard to find a
XXX DPWJOHUPOSFQPSUFS DPN t XXX NBQMFWBMMFZSFQPSUFS DPN job,� Dougherty recalled. “There was a lot of homes that were vacant. People lost their homes. God, yes, you couldn’t find a job anywhere.� Yet, Dougherty managed to find work, first cleaning furs at a fur shop in downtown Seattle near the 5th Avenue Theater. In 1932, however, after a year, the owner went broke and Dougherty found himself out of work. He was able to obtain a dish washing job at a restaurant near the site of his future employment, the Boeing Company, which still operated out of the Red Barn in Renton. The barn was eventually moved to Seattle and is now featured as a part of the Museum of Flight. With money tight and employment rare, he took any work he could find, including a job cleaning at a drugstore at the West Seattle Junction. “I did everything,� he said. At the same time, Dougherty was blessed with a number of opportunities. While other families were losing their homes, he was able to purchase a house in Arbor Heights for $3,500 — the equivalent of $55,000 in 2010 — without putting a single dollar on the down payment. “They were in a hurry (to
sell it),� Dougherty said of the owners. “It was Godgiven.�
WORLD WAR II In 1939 and the outbreak of World War II, Dougherty was hired at Boeing to work as an expeditor in the fabric upholstery shop. When the draft came in 1940 — the first peacetime draft in American history — Dougherty was classified as a 4F, which deferred him from enlisting. Unsatisfied with the work and pay of 93 cents an hour at Boeing, Dougherty learned from a friend about Todd Pacific Shipyards, which paid workers $1.39 hourly, an offer he couldn’t refuse. After he quit and went to work for Pacific Shipyards, however, he found the task of installing machines in the engine rooms even less satisfying. “I didn’t like it,� he said. It was also unhealthy, as the pipes would be covered with asbestos as he worked, which also got into the air. Years later, he would learn that it had gotten into his lungs. Fortunately, it did not have a permanent impact on his health and was unrelated to his decision to became a charter member of Renton’s Group Health, along with his wife, in 1947. “I never thought about it
(asbestos),� he said. “That never bothered me.� Finally he returned to Boeing on New Year’s Day 1945. His work there did not last much longer, however, as the war production was slowly grinding to a halt. The government canceled orders for more bombers and Dougherty joined another 70,000 people who lost their jobs at Boeing. “Everybody got a pink slip and got laid off,� he recalled.
FALLING FOR FARM LIFE Up until 1945 Dougherty had had no experience with farming. He had never milked a cow or fed chickens. But, when he visited his inlaws in Auburn, he got a taste of the farming community and was smitten with it. “I think that it started right there,� he said of his love of farms. “I just loved it. We’d go out to visit and travel on the West Valley highway. The air was so good. I thought, ‘This is where I would like to live.’� Then Dougherty learned of an 11 acre farm in Hobart which was for sale for $6,750. The family who owned it had moved out of the city, but, the wife had grown tired of the farm and wished to go back. Selling his Arbor Heights home, which at that time was worth $6,500 — nearly
QFC Continues to Focus Charitable Efforts on Bringing Hope to the Table BY Jay Wilson
For the rest of this year, our QFC stores will continue to focus our charitable efforts on Bringing Hope To the Table, our annual drive to raise both food and cash donations for agencies which are working to feed the hungry. As the effects of our country’s economic recession continue to impact long-term unemployment, more and more people are facing poverty and the prospects of not being able to afford proper food, shelter and health care. Thanks to the dedication of our store associates and the generosity of our customers, QFC stores are helping to secure critically needed food supplies and money to support the work of our two Bringing Hope To the Table partners: Food Lifeline in Washington and the Oregon Food Bank in our Portland area stores. Food Lifeline states that 96% of its revenue goes directly to feeding hungry people and Oregon Food Bank says, “More than 94 cents of every dollar donated to OFB goes directly to fighting hunger.�
Last year Food Lifeline delivered more than 24 million meals to hungry people through its network of nearly 300 neighborhood food banks, hot meal programs and shelters. From 2005 to 2010, the number of people served by Food Lifeline grew from 550,000 to 686,000, an increase of 24%. Much of the food donated to local our QFC stores is targeted by Food Lifeline to supply the partner agencies it supports in the same areas those stores serve. The Oregon Food Bank which has a network of 20 regional food banks and 923 partner agencies saw a 12 percent increase in the amount of food it provided from July of 2010 through June of 2011. The Oregon Food Bank distributes food throughout the state and Clark County based on an allocation system that takes each area’s population and poverty statistics into account.
According to statistics provided by Food Lifeline, 37% of the people it serves are children and 12% are seniors; 9% of its clients are homeless. Many Food Lifeline clients have had to choose between food and paying for heat or utilities, between food and paying for medicine or medical care, or between paying for food and paying for rent or mortgage. For many of us, hunger is something that only happens for short periods between meals. But for many others chronic hunger is a real problem. Food Lifeline points out that “children who are hungry may be less attentive, independent, and curious. Many hungry children have difficulty concentrating; therefore their reading ability and verbal and motor skills suffer.� “Chronic hunger in adults weakens bones and muscles, increases the risk
double its original purchase value — Dougherty bought the farm in June 1945, with a monthly payment of $25. By then, two more children had been added to the Dougherty family — Betty (1940) and Ceclia (1943) — while Margaret was pregnant with Colleen, who was born later that year. After he was laid off from Boeing, he moved with his family to the farm. The transition from the Seattle metropolis to the rural area of Hobart was quite dramatic, according to Dougherty. “I had to learn to milk a cow right away,� he said. Although the war was on its last legs, rationing was still in effect, which limited the amount of food a family could purchase. On the farm, however, this limitation did not apply. “When we got on the farm we had everything we needed,� Dougherty said. “I think that farm saved our lives.� Aside from farming, Dougherty got a job working for the Hobart School performing a variety of jobs - bus driver, janitor and the baseball coach. The school house was simple and basic, only two classrooms and a furnace that burned coal, which Dougherty had to [ more NUMBER page 7 ]

XXX DPWJOHUPOSFQPSUFS DPN t XXX NBQMFWBMMFZSFQPSUFS DPN [ CHOICES from page 1] two who are going to school there now. “I went up to Kentwood High School and I talked to one of the administrators there and asked if I could just come up there and just talk to (students),â€? Manning said. He was connected initially with students whose biggest worries were how a B might effect their high GPAs and Manning said he was looking for something different. Joe Potts, who was an assistant principal at Kentwood then and is now principal at Kentlake, pulled Manning aside. “He said, ‘James, I’ve got these 10 African American boys, they need some help.’ I said, when can I start?,â€? Manning said. “I wanted these boys to graduate on time and that was really important to Joe, too. I was looking at the kid that is going to be on the bubble, that possibly needed a push in the right direction and that’s exactly what (Potts) gave me.â€? As things began to fall into place, Manning said, he did some research and discovered that 40 percent of black boys graduate from high school and “more African American men are getting their diplomas or GEDs in prison.â€? What mattered most to Manning in the beginning of the program was consistency. “I didn’t want to just do it for one or two years,â€? he said. “My son was a sophomore, so, what I said is, ‘I’ll give you two more years after my youngest son graduates.’ I knew if I gave that commitment it would really start happening.â€? Shaun Martin, an assistant principal at Kentwood, met Manning last year. Martin, a native of Tennessee, moved to Washington state from Maryland so he was quite familiar with what Manning was talking about. “After we talked we connected pretty quickly after my experiences in Baltimore,â€? Martin said. “James was coming every other week just to mentor these guys‌ giving them skills and strategies to improve not just their academics but their social skills, how they communicated with their parents and their teachers.â€? A year ago Martin and Manning increased the number of students in the program from 10 to nearly 20.
“We started brainstorming how to make this more effective rather than him coming in randomly on Friday mornings,� Martin said. “We came up with a protocol of him meeting with the kids, looking a their grades. After working with some of the guys we decided this could become a mentorship program where the guys who were becoming upperclassmen could turn around in mentoring incoming freshmen.� As the program grew, Manning was worried, so the idea of taking older boys who had been in the program for a while and developing their skills as mentors and leaders made sense. “I said, ‘How about we do some kind of thing in the summer?’ and that’s how the three day leadership camp came together,� Manning said. “Watching these young men, these upperclassmen working with the freshmen, that’s been amazing this year. Both sides are learning.� Martin described the three day camp as “a really cool event.� “We wanted to make this a leadership program so the guys who went through the mentorship with James, we wanted to build up their skills and competency so they could mentor freshmen,� Martin said. “We invited community members to come in and work with the guys. They came in and sat in small groups with the guys and shared their experiences and had it focused so they would talk not only about leadership but their career paths and barriers along the way.� The camp culminated in the development and presentation of leadership platforms by the juniors and seniors who participated with those platforms focused on the program’s core values. “That’s one of the goals of the program, to facilitate that, to put guys in positions where they feel confident but they also are leaders,� Martin said. “We want this to become student driven.� With the success of the program with boys, assistant principal Deborah Rumbaugh has been working on a program for girls at Kentwood, with the idea to help girls deal with particularly challenging social and emotional issues such as bullying.
There are 15 students who have been invited by counselors and administrators to participate, Rumbaugh said, though the girls program is still in its early stages. “We focus on grades, getting to graduation and we provide a good role model of what girls can be in their communities if they choose to,â€? Rumbaugh said. “We have a threefold program, the first is the personal and social development, the second is collaborative enrichment, which is connecting with the community and volunteering, and the third one is academic achievement. Those are pretty lofty goals. We want to see girls really reaching their potential academically, socially and in their communities.â€? Like the boys, mentors such as Rumbaugh, King County Prosecutor Stephanie Webb and Kentwood graduate Samantha Thompson (who is Manning’s daughter), will meet weekly with the girls. “Outside of meeting individually with the girls on a weekly basis, our first activity is to coordinate with a local school district to watch the documentary called ‘Finding Kind’ which focuses on capitalizing on the positive nature of girls in treating each other with kindness and respect,â€? Rumbaugh said. “The other project that we’re going to be doing is some type of community Christmas project, something like a giving tree, something along those lines. So, we’re always seeking opportunities from the community as well.â€? Rumbaugh said one challenge the girls program is facing right now is finding mentors that can make a weekly commitment for the entire school year. Consistency is important, Manning said, because both boys and girls need to know that mentor is someone they can trust, someone they can count on. “These kids, these freshmen, they don’t know if I’m going to show up every week,â€? Manning said. “The older kids know I will and that’s important.â€? And he is thrilled the program is now offered to girls. “That’s so huge,â€? Manning said. “What I see at the high school, I see girls with very low self esteem, and that’s acted out in the way they dress and the way they act. It’s something that’s important to have someone they can talk to‌ for these women to come in and have conversations with [ more CHOICES page 10 ]

Inspired to be kind to others Rachel’s Challenge, which Black Diamond Elementary is currently participating in through the Enumclaw School District, is a program designed to encourage kindness among students and parents. Every time a child or teacher does a kind act, they create a paper link to a chain they hope will extend two miles. The concept of the program was inspired by 17-year-old Rachel Joy Scott, the first student killed during the 1999 Columbine shooting. After her death, it was discovered she had written six diaries. Among the topics she wrote about was her desire to see more kindness around her. Putting her words into action, Rachel’s Challenge was created and is used by schools nationwide.

They know there was meaning behind siderate out of peer pressure or because they will her death. receive praise for it. In particular, Allison spoke highly of Darrel
Scott, Rachel Scott’s father. “He wasn’t bitter (after Rachel’s death),� Allison said. “He’s not an angry man.� When I think of Scott’s family, the parable of the Good Samaritan comes to mind. A “Good Samaritan� has come to be seen as someone who helps out a stranger. Sadly, this removes the original parable from its proper historical context. Ancient Samaria was located directly north of Israel and the hatred was so great between the two nations that their people would not have anything to do with each other and often prevented travel within their country. So when the Samaritan helped the injured Jew on the side of the road, he wasn’t helping a stranger — he was helping an enemy. There is a reason it’s called Rachel’s Challenge, not Rachel’s Initiative or Rachel’s Dream. It’s not merely about challenging people to show compassion to each other. It’s easy to respond to kindness with kindness. It becomes hard when it is not equally reciprocated or at all. In those circumstances, it’s natural to ostracize and isolate someone. Rachel Scott believed people should behave kindly to everyone, regardless of how they themselves are treated. It’s about having the forbearance to deal with people who harass you day after day, often without reason. It’s about forgiving those who hurt you, even when they don’t apologize. Now that is a real challenge.

This is an attempt to bring to an end anonymous comments and the issues that arise when people can write without identifying who they are. Certain stories, including those involving personal tragedy, will have the comment section turned off without exception. This change is an attempt to encourage thoughtful discussion, civil discourse among readers and editorial staff as well as discourage hostile attacks and purposefully misleading statements. In a letter to the editor, writers must identify themselves, and this change to the website is an attempt to raise the bar of discussion and identification. The Disqus program requires users pro-
vide an email address. That, however, does very little if someone wants to post a comment in obscurity and most of the time a surname will do. That anonymity allows many to lie about topics to make a point. It allows many to post mean and hateful things about people without recourse. It is also a legal liability for newsrooms that don’t constantly police the comments. Editorial staff will be moderating the comments posted via Facebook. We hope this new system will allow readers to feel comfortable using the website as a community forum and to become more engaged with our content in ways they may not have felt comfortable before. We know some may not like the change, but, we believe those will be in the minority and ultimately this is in the best interest of our readers and the community we serve.

His next door neighbor, Hubert Peacock, was a farmer who made a living selling milk. One night, they invited the Doughertys over for dinner and informed them that Peacock had contracted tuberculosis and was forced to go to a sanitarium in north Renton for isolation. With no one to milk his cows, he planned on selling them, until Dougherty stepped in. While it doesn’t sound like an arduous task, Peacock owned 20 cows, which required Dougherty to get up at 5 a.m. every day, first to light the fire in the furnace at the school before he came back to milk the cows. Then he had to grab the bus at the Maple Valley School — now the Maple Valley Historical Museum — and pick up the Hobart School students.

was 38. “I think I talked to him about what kind of car he had,� Dougherty said. “He had an Oldsmobile while I had a Ford.�

LUCKY IN LIFE AND LOVE Three more children were born while they lived at the Hobart farm: Timothy (1948), Teresa (1951) and Mary Joe (1956). The Doughertys resorted to some unusual means in order to cover the costs of delivery for their children. When Teresea was born, for example, the family sold $50 worth of cherries — $415 in 2010 when adjusted for inflation — to pay for it. Raising seven children was a big task Dougherty said, the success of which he credits to his wife. “Margie did a fantastic job with those kids,� he said. They also attended mass at St. Barbara Parish in Black Diamond and St. Joseph Catholic Church in Issaquah. For entertainment, the family had a music room where Dougherty would sing and his wife would play the piano. All of this changed with the advent of television. Dougherty purchased an Admiral TV in 1950. As the first person in the entire area to own one, the other farming families would flock to their house to watch, rather than hear, entertainment programs. An avid sports fan, Dougherty remembered watching the first televised football. “All you could see was little specks running around,� he said. Despite being separated from his brother, Spencer, as toddlers, Dougherty was able to stay in touch with
work,� she said. Dougherty said his wife was the glue that held his life together. “I give credit to her on our marriage,� Dougherty said. “Margie and I lived through the best part of our (nation’s) history. We just think we’ve seen all the best of it. We were lucky. I was lucky.�

How to help all students find a path after high school BY KRIS HILL khill@maplevalleyreporter.com
Erica Schweitzer wasn’t sure what she wanted to do when she grew up. A senior at Tahoma High, she arrived as a 10th grader, searching for direction. “I didn’t have any role models outside of my family until I met Mr. Haag,�
Schweitzer said. “Now I want to be a video editor.â€? Schweitzer is one of Rick Haag’s video production students, a program which is part of the schools Career and Technical Education curriculum, designed to help guide students who may not have a clear path after high school. “Anything you want to do‌ Mr. Haag can show
you how to do it,� she said. “And he gives us top of the line equipment for it.� Schweitzer was one of a number of students who told the CTE Advisory Board group about the impact one of the courses has had on their lives during a meeting in the Tahoma High library on Nov. 2.

DECA is the most important thing I’ve ever done in my life. Last year I went to internationals and I met business leaders from around the world who showed me what I can do with my life.� It’s the experience of these students, Fox said, that matters. “We are growing despite challenges to encourage post-secondary plans,� she said. “We want to make sure all post-secondary plans are valued. We’re not just asking kids, ‘What four year college are you going to?’ Our goal is to really get students thinking about where they’re going.� Fox explained that none of this would have happened without teachers. “These are very poised young people who have walked away from Tahoma High School with a passion,� she said. “You can’t get that without the fairy dust, the magic (teachers bring).�

There’s different needs (than for the boys) but the end result is going to be the same.� As the program continues to grow at Kentwood, Manning has a broader goal: he wants to see it offered at all four of the Kent School District’s traditional high schools. “I want people who live in these communities to

Maple Valley Food Bank seeks donations for holiday programs BY KRIS HILL khill@maplevalleyreporter.com
W
hile retailers are working hard to get you into their stores — the commercials started before kids had even shucked off their Halloween costumes — the staff at Maple Valley Food Bank and Emergency Services were working on feeding the hungry this holiday season. Executive Director Lila Henderson said food bank staff expect at least as much demand for services this year as they did last year, with it being quite likely there will be an increase in requests for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, as well as more need for gifts for children. The need during the holidays is in line with the higher volume of requests for services MVFB has seen since the economy dipped into a recession in 2008. “We have seen since that huge increase, that 50 percent increase three years ago, every year it has been steadily going up but it’s much smaller...,� Henderson said. “It’s still going up, it’s staying steady. We’re seeing clients staying longer with the food bank... we’re seeing returning clients, people who went away, who got on their feet, but with the
economy changing they’re coming back. We’re seeing an increase in clients who have never been to our food bank, middle class people who just did not think that would ever happen to them.� On the days the food bank is open, Henderson said, there is an average of 100 families served. And Maple Valley Food Bank serves more than just residents of the Tahoma School District, but, those in Covington and other areas, as well. During the holidays, Henderson said, the expectation is to serve at least as many families as last year when more than 1,000 dinners were served to families combined for Thanksgiving and Christmas. The food bank needs help filling the need, especially if there’s an increase in demand as Henderson expects, for both holidays. “We need people to go out and get our flier and fill that out,� Henderson said. “Every family gets a turkey (at Thanksgiving and Christmas). It’s one of those things for our clients, it’s not just one meal, it’s many meals.� Donations of turkeys, and other foods, are welcome. Financial donations can also be made online with the money going to cover the cost of items that go with the holiday meal. Giving cash is just as good as, if not better than, donating food because the food bank has connections to organizations that can provide products at lower prices than the average consumer pays at the grocery store. For Thanksgiving, donations need to be made by Nov. 19, and for Christmas the deadline to provide items is Dec. 15.

“The really important thing is we really need to stress for people within our communities that the need for these items... from an operational standpoint we’ve lost state and federal funding, we’re operating with less dollars, rising costs and less help, so I really need support to keep the programs going like they have in the past,� Henderson said. “Due to all the cuts happening at the state level... we will be impacted because people are losing the minimal services they had. We will have to fill in more gaps.� It’s important to note that families who wish to receive holiday dinners or participate in the Christmas gift store must pre-register. In addition to feeding families, Henderson said, the food bank provides gifts for children ranging in age from birth to 15 years old. Gifts for teens are the most challenging. Ideas can be found on the MVFB website, www.maplevalleyfoodbank.org. The good news, Henderson explained, is there are some significant efforts to provide for the food bank’s clients. Both Safeway and QFC in Maple Valley, in partnership with Northwest Harvest and Food Lifeline respectively, will offer customers the chance to buy a $10 bag of food which will go directly to the food bank. Local coffee shops are helping out, too, Henderson said. Stop at City Perk, Village Coffee or Surfrider Coffee, and contribute via turkey bucks, Henderson said. “They make so much money for us toward our turkey fund,� she said. “So when you’re going through to get your latte, give a buck toward my turkey fund, and these are three great local business.�

ROLLING OUT TO STATE Tahoma goes to state for second time in three years, Kentwood punches ticket for eighth straight season BY KRIS HILL khill@covingtonreporter.com

Here are the local swimmers to look for this weekend. Kentlake: Sarah Dougherty, Laura Williams, Emily Tanasse, Abigail Swanson, Kyndal Phillips and Jennifer Stefenescu in individual events as well as the 200 free, 200 medley and 400 free relays. Kentwood: Natalie Lesnick in the 200 and 500 free. Kentridge: Emily Mohr, Emily Shonka, Bella Chilczuk, Flannery Allen, in individual events as well as relays. Kent-Meridian: Joanna Wu in the 200 and 500 free. Tahoma: Allanah Miller, Alex Stein, Anna Pierre, Jessica Miller in individual events as well as relays.
Tahoma’s Rachelle Frets swings at the ball during a district opening round win over Kentridge on Nov. 4. CHARLES CORTES, The Reporter
A trio of South Puget Sound League North volleyball teams are headed to state out of the West Central District tournament held at Kentwood High Nov. 4-5. Kentwood won its first two matches of the tournament to punch its ticket on Nov. 4 while Kent-Meridian, the surprise statebound team, bounced back after a tough loss to eventual district champion Bellarmine Prep in the first round. Tahoma went 1-1 on the first day, beating division rival Kentridge in four games before losing to Olympia, which earned the second seed out of the district. Unlike a year ago when Tahoma was done in two at the district tournament coming in with high expectations to get back to state, the Bears had to claw a bit to punch their ticket, but they bounced back after the loss on the first day. Tahoma put together a 3-0 sweep of Central Kitsap in a winner-to-state loser out match on Nov. 5
then beat Kent-Meridian in five games to earn the sixth seed out of the district while the Royals are the No. 7 seed to state. Tahoma takes on Mead out of Spokane at 1:30 p.m. on Friday at Saint Martin’s University. Kent-Meridian had a tough road but somewhere between the second and third games in a loserout match against Union it dug deep. Maybe it was Assistant Coach Raven Northrup who got the girls attention when she told them they looked like the match was lost, that the looks on their faces told her they had already given up. The Royals went out and proved their coach wrong. Led by junior outside hitter Chloe Watson and setter Deidrianna Laban, Kent-Meridian fought back, winning 3-2 including a 25-21 victory in the third game, a 25-14 victory in the fourth and 15-13 in the decisive fifth. Kent-Meridian was fired up when they took on Skyview the next day, winning 3-1 (25-19,16-25,25[ more STATE page 16]

SICK? SO WHAT? Matt Hubbard had a banner game on the
ground for Kentwood in a 19-16 double overtime victory over Gig Harbor on Saturday night at French Field. Conks Head Coach Rex Norris after the game said that Hubbard, a senior running back, was throwing up before the game and on the sidelines throughout the contest. “Matt Hubbard had a great game for us,� Norris said. Hubbard, despite his illness, tallied 200 yards on 26 carries. On Hubbard’s highlight reel was a 27-yard touchdown run around the

Spectators would never have known Hubbard wasn’t feeling 100 percent, especially when he helped set up the winning touchdown by bringing it down to the 12 from the 25, in the second overtime.
From there, it was Visa Thach, who carried the ball the final three times for Kentwood including punching it in from a yard out to put the Conquerors on top for good. It was not a pretty game for Kentwood. “We were the hardest [ more BATTLE page 13 ]
Cross country title for Tahoma BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@covingtonreporter.com
Girls ruled on Nov. 5 in Pasco at the 4A cross country state championships. Tahoma won the girls team title while Kent-Meridian’s Alexia Martin was the highest local individual when she crossed the finish line in fourth place. “We’re pretty excited,� said Garry Conner, the Bears’ head coach. “It’s a big win for us.� Martin, a senior, completed the race in 18 minutes, 20 seconds. Martin also placed fourth at the league and district meet. It was the highest individual ranking of any boys or girls runner from Tahoma or Kent schools.
TAHOMA BRINGS HOME THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP After narrowly losing to Bellarmine Prep at the Westside Classic district meet the week prior, 7779, Tahoma was able pull together and outrun them 88-99 at the Sun Willows Golf Course. Conner attributed several factors to the Bears victory. The girls came into the race all healthy after fighting several illnesses throughout the season. Additionally, they raced strategically in order to determine their competition during the district meet. But, in the end, he credited every single runner on the team for racing well. “It was a group effort,� Conner said. “At that state meet, you just can’t make any mistakes. If you do, you’re a six to 10 (place) team. If any one of those girls didn’t run well, we wouldn’t have won the state meet. It was really all the seven girls.� “It was an incredible experience,� junior Elizabeth Oosterhout said. “Our team will remember it our whole lives. Every girl pulled their own weight and then some.� Oosterhout placed 16th at 18:51, a vast improvement over last year’s 30th and 19:11. “I feel good about my improvement in my per[ more TITLE page 13 ]

NO OFFSEASON FOR CROSS COUNTRY RUNNERS In the boys race Tahoma fought to secure eighth place. Although they were hoping to stand on the podium, the
on ourselves we’ve been all year,� Norris said. “We’ve got a young team but we’ve had quite a learning curve.� Norris said Kentwood came into the game respecting the talent of Gig Harbor quarterback Garrett Gallanger and had prepared the defense accordingly. Defense, Norris stated, was what kept the Conks in the game. They did their best to mix up their pass coverage schemes, he explained, and it worked. “They’re a really well coached team. They put a lot of pressure on us defensive,� he said. “Defensively we played great. That quarterback threw for 300 yards last week and we held him to 42 yards in the first half.� At halftime the score was tied 3-3. The Tides knotted the score at 10-10 when they blocked a Conquerors punt and recovered the ball in the end zone with 8:53 left in the game. That’s where the score stayed until overtime. Jerrod Dalton made sure Gig Harbor didn’t score again in regulation when he hauled in an interception on the four yard line. From there, the teams traded field goals, then Gig Harbor went up 16-13 to start the second overtime period. That’s when Hubbard and Thach put together a series of runs that put the Conks ahead for good. After Thach scored
the go-ahead TD he was mobbed in the end zone by the entire squad as the fans who stuck around in the sub40 degree weather cheered wildly. “We didn’t panic,� Norris said. “That’s because of the resolve we’ve been able to gain in these close games in Kent. I think we represented the SPSL North well.� Kentwood travels to Skyview on Friday for its first round state playoff game.

FALCONS FLY HIGH For the seventh time this season Kentlake scored more than 40 points in a game, beating Mariner 49-7 in a winner-to-state, loser-out playoff game at French Field on Nov. 4. It didn’t start out looking like a rout for Kentlake, though, as the first kickoff was fumbled by the returner, recovered by Mariner and returned for a touchdown. Little did the Marauders know with 13 seconds off the game clock that would be all they would get in the game as the Falcons romped. Barely a minute of game time later, Kentlake responded to the special teams miscue with a drive down the field that included a long pass to Austin Pernell which put the Falcons on the Marauders 5-yard-line, setting up a Tanner Lucas touchdown two plays later. With 8:08 left in the first quarter, Darryl Parker scored an 18-yard touchdown to make it 14-7, and from there Kentlake never looked back. Lucas added two more touchdown runs in the

graduation. “They did well,� he said. “Things were really, really close. We were hoping to be in the top 10, realistically we could have been 11th. If you look across the board, the competitors were really fast. It was a really fast race this year.� Senior Danny Lunder finished his final high school cross country race at 23rd with a time of 16:04. Even though that’s seconds away from breaking the 16 minute barrier he had hoped to achieve, he was still able to break his PR. “I felt pretty good,� he said. “I was pretty happy for my PR. I pushed my running to the max during the race because there’s no cross country after this. I knew that I had to give it my all because there’s nothing left. I’m going to look back on this and remember what it felt like so I decided to give it my all.� His coach was impressed with Lunder’s efforts. “Danny ran a great race,� Paul said. “He ran his best time on a hard course. That’s kind of a hard course to do it on. Danny, being the competitor and perfectionist he is, was probably disappointed, but he shouldn’t be.�

mance,� she said. She added, however, “I think I let my nerves take over me and I got really worried.� Next year she said she will try to break into the top 10. Freshman Abby Atchison led the Bears by placing eighth with a time of 18:40, a 23 second PR. “I was really thrilled with how the race turned out,� Atchison said. “I really just felt confident going into the race, and our coaches have been working hard to peak our whole team. It really helped me when the race started. It just really came together.� The rest of the Bears team included freshman Delaney Tiernan (21st, 19:02), senior Juliana Mock (44th, 19:29) sophomore Maddy Dennis (101st, 20:20) and freshman Katelyn Sherick (114th, 20:28). Having taken the title, Conner said they now have to defend it next year. “We’re going to try to make another run at it,� he said. “My coaching staff is excited. We’re just taking it all in.� The Royals placed 16th in their first appearance at the state meet in school history. Martin’s time of 18:20, a 22 second PR, was the fastest she had run in a race since her freshman year in 2009, when she took second at district with a time of 18:42. Other Royals runners included sophomores Ruby Virk (106th, 20:24) Briann Funk (124th, 20:43), Sara Madden (132nd, 21:20) and Araceli Rios (138th, 21:55), senior Chelsea Watkins (136st, 21:50) and junior Christina Atkinson (146th, 24:24).
team still considers it progress from last year’s 15th place. “We still have some growing to do, some running maturity that needs to take place,� Conner said. “We’re moving in the right direction. We had a good meet.� “I thought we did pretty good,� said senior James Dagley. “We’re going to be even better next year. I’d say we’d probably make the podium next year.� Notable performances included sophomore Riley Campell who took 31st with 16:10, a PR and a minute and 20 second improvement over his time at last year’s state championship, where he placed 130th. “I felt pretty good,� Campell said. “I was hoping to get under 16 minutes, but I feel good about it.� “He had a really good run,� Conner said. Dagley placed 42nd with a time of 16:17, which was disappointing for him after coming in 29th last year. “Not very good,� Dagley said of his performance. “It wasn’t my best race. There’s been a lot of things this season I’ve been battling with.� He explained that he’s been dealing with several debilitating issues, such as a stress fracture, which hurt his preseason training in the summer. “I swam and biked, but, it wasn’t enough to stay in shape,� Dagley said. With the top four runners coming back next year, Conner is confident Tahoma will be able to build upon the strength of this year’s squad. “The (training for) state championship starts now,� he said. “We’ll give them a couple days off and then we’re up and rolling again.� The Kentwood boys took 13th, one place lower than last year. Head Coach Ken Paul, however, stated he was pleased with the performance after losing several top runners to

Another option other cities have taken is a car tab fee, which does not require voter approval as long as it is $20 or less. Johnston stated this one has the highest possibility of getting passed. “More and more Washington municipalities are resorting to a car tab to supplement their capital budget, to use it for road
repairs,� he said. “The logical approach is to have the people who own the cars maintain the road structure in the community. If there is one that may be discussed, it’s that one.� At this point, Johnston said, it’s not likely for the coming calendar year.

Town Hall with 47th Rep. Pat Sullivan Rep. Pat Sullivan, D-47th District, wants your opinions. Sullivan, a resident of Covington and former Covington councilmember, is hosting a teletown hall meeting at 6 p.m. on Nov. 16. “I want to know what you think are the best ways to solve our state’s current budget shortfall, “ Sullivan wrote in a statment. “We are calling households directly, offering you the option to join the conversation. “ However, if you don’t get called, please join at 1-877-2298493 and enter 18646. Sullivan said the legislature is already working on plugging holes in the budget after making significant cuts during the previous legislative session.
“It’s going to take the best efforts of the whole state to reach a responsible, balanced solution to the current economic crisis and to emerge from it with the kind of Washington we want to live in,� Sullivan said. “Rebalancing our budget and reigniting our economy is a huge challenge and it’s vitally important that we are respectful of all ideas, no matter where they come from. “It’s going to take the best efforts of the whole state, pulling together, to reach a responsible, balanced solution to the current budget crisis and to emerge from this economic crisis with the kind of Washington we want to live in. I look forward to hearing from you.� You can also send Sullivan suggestions at Sullivan.pat@ leg.wa.gov, or call his office at 360-786-7858.

Diabetes is a disease that causes problems with the way in which the body uses blood glucose. Blood glucose, what most people recognize as blood sugar, is the brain’s primary source of energy, and it also provides fuel to muscle and tissue cells. People with diabetes, whether it’s type 1, type 2, pre-diabetes, or gestational diabetes, have too much glucose in their bloodstream, and that can lead to serious health issues. Some symptoms of diabetes include fatigue, extreme thirst and hunger, frequent urination, slow healing sores, and frequent infections. Type 1 diabetes has to do with the immune system, type 2 is often linked to genetic or environmental circumstances, and gestational diabetes occurs in some women during pregnancy. If you suspect that you have pre-diabetes, be sure to tell your health care provider. Pre-diabetes is a precursor to type 2 diabetes. November is American Diabetes Month, a time to rally individuals, communities and families to join the millions of people in the movement to stop diabetes. This year, the American Diabetes Association is asking individuals to take a pledge and raise their hand to stop diabetes. For an appointment with Southlake Clinic, please call (253) 395-1972. We are a multi-specialty medical group with a clinic at 27005 168th Place SE in Covington. We are also open on Saturdays.

Deer-proof, mice-proof and droughtproof you can add these small bulbs to the dry soil under maples and they will spread through the years into a carpet of milky white beauty.

gem is deep blue but then topped with a snow-white cap of tiny florets. Grow this one in a container on the porch and add bright yellow winter pansies for a blooming reminder of sunshine, blue skies and mountain tops. 3. Grecian Windflowers – Anemone blanda: Daisy-like blooms that stay close to the ground make this a lovely groundcover for any spring garden but don’t be surprised when you see the ugly corm that grows such a pretty flowers. Small, wizened and dark, the little pellets show little promise when planted into the cold November ground. But their small size makes them easy to sneak into forgotten corners and empty pots or to tuck under the branches of forsythia and other spring-blooming shrubs. Anemones come in shades of pink, lavender, blue and white.

able dwarf daffodil and you’ll soon understand the name which means headto-head. It looks like golden yellow blooms are talking to one another as the flowers nod in the slightest breeze. This is a great bulb to plant under the purple PJM rhododendron because they flower at the same time, early in the spring. 2. Muscari or grape hyacinths – Not the high priced, stronglyfragrant hyacinths but the more common, hardworking hyacinth sold for pennies and enjoyed for generations. Most common in the deep blue color and often used to create rivers of color in show gardens, you can also plant grape hyacinths under the shade of deciduous trees or mix them with windflowers and other minor bulbs under the skirts of rhododendrons and azaleas.

a few years and they’ll multiply – and they can start a movement. 1. Dwarf Daffodils – to add cheer to your civil disobedience. These early-blooming garden gems are members of the cyclamineus narcissi group and demand equal time and placement in public gardens or they will surely takeover in waves of blooming chaos. Their petals are reflexing, which means they bend backward like a cyclamen flower. Tough and repeat bloomers, these dwarfs will thrive in dry rockeries and are easy to force into early bloom. February Gold – All that glitters is not rising in price nor can you sell these golden beauties for quick cash. But February Gold daffodils are priceless because in our climate anything that blooms in February should be worth its weight in precious metals. This variety is easy to find at local nurseries and if you plant February Gold in a spot were it has excellent drainage you’ll be making a great investment with growing dividends. This little daffodil will spread politely in tidy clumps. Tête-à -Tête – Everything French is oh-so-chic right now so plant this fashion-

During the second week of November there is still time to dig up and divide your overcrowded daylilies, hosta and iris and now is also the time to cut back the yellow foliage of lilies and peonies. In the vegetable garden you can leave carrots, cabbage and brussels sprouts in the ground where the cold weather will add a sweetness to the flavor. Keep checking on any green tomatoes you have stored indoors and toss out any that begin to rot before the danger spreads. If you think it is too late in the year to aerate, feed or mow the lawn you are wrong. Tackle these fall field goals now and you’ll score great yardage in the spring with less moss and weeds to worry about. Don’t mow the lawn if the ground is frozen solid or the soil so saturated with water that the mower would leave ruts in the ground. The middle of November is still a great time to add spring-blooming bulbs and here are some that do great in our climate and are small enough to tuck into any open spot of ground. In the horticultural world these are called “minor bulbs� but they can make a major impact for just a minor amount of work. Many will bloom when planted just 1 or 2 inches below ground or when poked into the soft soil of a container garden or window box. Their quick and easy planting makes them perfect for guerrilla gardening – adding flowers to public spaces without asking permission. I like to call it “Occupy Spring� and hope the protestors who use our public parks will use their time efficiently by planting bulbs and pulling a few weeds between protests.
