City seeks part-time parks planner

Morrow ready to tackle challenges

As the city of Covington works to fulfill the recreation needs and wants of its residents, the search is on for a parks planner. Scott Thomas, the city’s parks and recreation director, said that if Covington continues at its current rate of one new park every 16 years it will take quite a while to meet demand. “If we look at the city’s 16 year history we haven’t reached our park acquisition and development goals, we’re actually not even all that close,” Thomas said. “We have to COVINGTON figure out a way to pick up the pace.” To that end, Thomas said, he requested a half-time parks planner during

For Rob Morrow, accepting the position of school superintendent isn’t something he’d do just anywhere, in fact, Tahoma is the only place he would be willing to take the job. Morrow, the principal at Tahoma Junior High, was announced as the next superintendent for the Tahoma School District earlier this month, effective next June when current superintendent Mike Maryanski retires. Morrow, who grew up in Burien and has been with the district since the 1982-83 school MAPLE year, has been VALLEY principal at Tahoma Junior High since 1999. “I wouldn’t say specifically the superintendent position appeals

Teens get close look at poverty in Guatemala BY KRIS HILL khill@covingtonreporter.com

A quartet of teen parishioners from St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Covington got a close look this summer at life in a third world country when they visited Guatemala on a missions trip. Nichole Soepardi, a Black Diamond resident, along with Jalen Koon of Kent, Elizabeth Cranstoun of Maple Valley and Tatiana

Sigurdson of Covington spent 10 days of their summer break volunteering in Guatemala after planning for the trip for months. They were the second group of teens to go with the church to the country. Jim Tanasse was one of eight adults who went with the teens. He explained St. John’s got involved with a group of villages in Guatemala nearly two decades

ago. During the first few visits, Tanasse said, the church members observed the core issues of the people they served in Guatemala, what he called “daily quality of life issues.” “We built houses, put in stoves,” Tanasse said. “We’ve slowly through six trips started to get our arms around those things. You can bring adults, but, I am a firm believer that a teenager, any kid … they come at it with a pure thought and a positive attitude.” The four students, who will be high school juniors this fall at Kennedy Catholic, Kentlake, Bellarmine Prep and Kentwood

Tyler Gage, 16, from Maple Valley has been selected as a regional scholarship winner from the Kohl’s Cares Scholarship Program for his innovative volunteer efforts. Gage’s interest in helping others led him to start the 1-More Foundation which works to collect food and other supplies for nonprofit organizations, like Relay for Life, Special Olympics and the Food Bank. Tyler’s efforts earned him a $1,000 scholarship from Kohl’s along with a $50 gift card.

Two new assistant principals, Julie Frederiksen and Brixey Painter, are settling into their roles and diving into the community at Kentlake High School this fall. Frederiksen, who is originally from Amarillo, Texas and moved to Washington in 2005, will be overseeing ninth grade students this year as well as testing school-wide and a transition to standards based grading. “Probably the thing I am looking forward to most is that connection with ninth graders as they transition to high school,” Frederiksen said. Frederiksen came to Kentlake from Kent-Meridian High School where one of her duties was overseeing the school’s International Baccalaureate program which sparked her desire to pursue working as an administrator. “I really enjoyed working with other teachers collaboratively, and I really enjoyed having the opportunity to benefit more students on a larger scale,” Frederiksen said. “Because one of our jobs (as administrators) is to ensure quality instruction and to help teachers get to that point where they’re really deliver-

ing excellent instruction for every student every day … I wanted to be able to coach and mentor other teachers along the way.” As for the shift to standards based grading at Kentlake, Frederiksen said that the system, which is based on a four point scale instead of a 100 point scale, allows greater clarity for both students and teachers when it comes to grading and reflecting what the students know how to do. “It’s a popular movement in education right now,” Frederiksen said. “I think one of the things that’s nice about standards based grading is that you get a lot more depth as opposed to breadth. We’d rather have you be able to do 27 things very, very well than 56 things shoddily. It focuses the learning much more.” Frederiksen said that she knew she wanted to be a teacher ever since she was in fourth grade. She saw pictures of Paris in a social studies textbook and made up her mind that teaching French was what she wanted to do. In her free time she enjoys traveling and spending time with her two dogs.

ministrator came from getting involved in campus leadership as a department head and being a part of committees. “The more and more opportunities I had in leadership the more and more I realized what impact I could have on a different level, the behind the scenes level,” Painter said. “An impact on the adults that would trickle down to the students and so about year five I realized there’s a lot going on in education, it’s a really exciting time to be an educator, there’s a lot of change going on and I want to be a part of that change.” When she has free time, Painter said she enjoys reading — she’s a big Harry Potter fan — and dancing as well as hiking and being outdoors. “I cannot wait to get to know the students here at Kentlake and get involved in all of their daily activities, sports, seeing how the school runs,” Painter said. “I’m really looking forward to working with teachers and helping everybody become better teachers and that will in turn have a significant impact on student achievement.”

O D I D Y O U K N O W ? : Each year it is estimated that over 220,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 40,000 will die.

Ultra marathon an inspiration Guest Commentary

I have had times when simple things make such a huge difference. You never know why, or how, but it does. And for me it usually is a lightening rod moment but I can never truly explain why. The most recent for me came a few months ago when I randomly saw a public service announcement for a new campaign called I Got Your Six. It hit me really hard since it is all about helping our veterans. I have always been very angry at how our men and women are brought back from war, or military enlistment, and we abandon them. I had tears running down my face as I watched this because I knew that I needed to do something but I wasn’t quite sure what. I felt that I didn’t have the opportunity to do anything right here. I didn’t know any veterans that needed help — at least acknowledged it — and I also wasn’t aware of any programs that were available right here in our community. So, I had it in my mind as something that I wanted to have come in to my life. I kept that feeling with me all the time and I knew that putting it our there would bring it to my life. This finally happened a few weeks ago and I was blown away. It started with a couple of messages via the Cash Mob page which introduced me to Always Brothers. To say I was excited when I read about the organization would be an understatement. I did interviews with Always Brothers Vice

OPINION

www.covingtonreporter.com • www.maplevalleyreporter.com

President Dan Neilsen as well as retired Marine Storm McNeil, who participated in the run, which got me even more fired up! Always Brothers 100 mile ultra marathon, which started Aug. 10, went through Maple Valley Aug. 11 and other communities from Leschi down to Orting and back up to Century Link. I took my son Hudson to a few of the different stops along the way and was so moved by the dedication of these Marines who were willing to give so much for our fallen. To watch them in the process of running 100 miles was awe inspiring to say the least. I couldn’t imagine doing it, but I came away knowing that I wanted to be a part of it. I am not sure how that will happen but I rarely know exactly how things will happen in

my life but I am always open to the doors, cracks and windows that seem to be opening up so much lately. I gave Dan and Storm a few days to attempt to have their bodies recover before I sat down with them and Tanya Neilsen to discuss the success of the run, the impact they made and most importantly their experiences over the 100 miles. At this point Storm was still trying to recover from the knee injury he suffered 11 miles into the run. He had a wonderful friend, Ric Holm, loan him a bike so he was able to continue with his fellow Marines through the rest of the 100 miles. Storm didn’t just ride a bike. His cycling

Her vision is big. She wants to raise $100,000 this year after the Bra Dash brought in $30,000 — all of which went to a researcher at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance who is looking for new ways to detect breast cancer, especially in younger women — but perhaps a more realistic number would be $50,000 to $60,000. I would not be the least bit surprised if 2,000 people showed up at the event and came close to raising six figures. Kristi lost her mother, Karen, to breast cancer. She fought it, too. Not only is the event a chance to raise money, but it’s a chance to let survivors know how much support they have and how our community will come together to collectively battle the disease. My friend Ilyse will run with me this year. She is a survivor. She has always inspired and challenged since I first walked into her math class at Interlake High in the fall of 1994 after I was bumped out of a pre-calculus class because I was failing. I passed first semester thanks to her. I earned a B second semester. She believed in me. Today she encourages me when we do training runs together or go race. A year ago we walked the event. It was my first 5K. Ever. I huffed and puffed my way through it. Today, as I write this, I am less than two weeks away from my first 10K run. Since the Bra Dash a year ago I walked two more 5Ks and ran six. My 10th race was the Torchlight 8K in late July. This is because of two breast cancer survivors. One who had a vision for an event to raise money to pour into research and find answers while the other just wanted to see me

get healthy, I suspect because she just fought one of the toughest health battles of her life. It must be frustrating to watch someone not take care of her health after that. But, that is conjecture on my part. In any case, Kristi told me when I interviewed her that was another purpose for the Bra Dash, to encourage people to get healthy. I didn’t know it at the time, not until after I wrote a column about my experience at the event. She helped me change my life and it had a ripple effect on others around me. I am sure there are hundreds of other stories like mine. And there will be hundreds more. This year will be awesome. Next year will be amazing because Kristi hopes the Bra Dash will spread to other like-minded communities, though we agree no one has as wonderful a setting for an event as Maple Valley does in Lake Wilderness. I look forward to seeing the families decked out in costumes, decorated bras, dads, brothers, sons, sisters, moms, embracing the pink warrior spirit to support the cause. I look forward to running with my friend, my inspiration, who won’t have to coach me through the two little hills — Kristi said those are at the start then it will be nice and flat — like last year because now I can run five miles or more. I look forward to watching other people do Zumba to warm up. I look forward to chatting with all the people I know from the community and maybe meeting some ones. Most of all I look forward to being part of Kristi’s grand vision to raise enough money to find answers to the puzzle that is breast cancer. It is a powerful thing to be part of.

There are certain community causes I will unabashedly throw my support behind publicly. For example the Tahoma School District construction bond measure or the efforts of Tina McDonough and her team the Valley Girls & Guys! that participates in the Susan G. Komen Foundation’s 3 Day Walk for the Cure. In 2012 the team was more than 150 strong and raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to fight breast cancer, a cause important to me because it affected a good friend. Sticking with the pink ribbon theme is Kristi Blair, founder of Maple Valley-based Wings of Karen, who is wrapping up plans for the foundation’s second Bra Dash 5K walk and run. I am quite excited about this event. After interviewing Kristi Aug. 14, I am even more amped for the race. A year ago I was astonished that some 800 people showed up for a brand new event. That, my friends, is the power of the vision Kristi has for fighting breast cancer and searching for answers.

It was disgusting, Cranstoun said, because used toilet paper is thrown in the trash. There were fun moments, too. Or the kinds of memories the teens can laugh about now. â€œThe driving,â€?

Then there was the hike up to an active volcano called Pacaya. â€œWe roasted marshmallows over an open lava vent,â€? Sigurdson said. Cranstoun also thought the coffee was delicious. Koon said that because coffee is a major export, it was mostly sugar and water with some coffee mixed in, so it is different than what Americans drink. The water, though, has to be boiled before itâ€™s consumed so they drank hot Kool-Aid. Showers while out in the villages were not of much use as the water came out at just a trickle. What they experienced changed their perspectives. â€œThere was a big culture shock when we got back to the U.S.,â€? Sigurdson said. â€œPeople were not friendly.â€? When Soepardi shops now, she thinks twice about spending the money because of how far it could go for a family in Guatemala. Education past the third grade, Cranstoun said, is unusual while going to high school is practically unheard of there. Though she is not excited about the start of a new school year she said she is grateful she can go especially to a school such as Bellarmine. In the end, all four said 10 days wasnâ€™t nearly enough, and they would all like to return to Guatemala. â€œWe all want to go back and stay as long as it takes to build a house from start to finish,â€? Sigurdson said.

dribble down your chin. Sun-warmed, home-grown tomatoes have much more flavor than tomatoes that must be shipped to the grocery store. I f your tomato crop is still in the dream stage, visit a farmer’s market and celebrate home-grown flavor from a local grower. Not everyone can grow vegetables but everyone can support local vegetable growers. Arrange: Snip a vase of cut flowers from your garden and share the blooming bounty. You don’t even need to grow traditional cut flowers to compose a small bouquet of summer beauty. It is now fashionable to add everything from blackberry vines, grassy seed heads and laurel foliage to any vessel that holds water and call it a “contemporary design.” Even your most annoying weeds can be used as

What’s blooming at Lake Wilderness Arboretum In the late 1990’s, Cynthia Ostermann began volunteering at the Arboretum, quickly filling the ranks of the board as second, then first vice president and budget and finance chairman. Now, as docent co-chairman, Ostermann says she’s learned to appreciate what a dedicated group of volunteers can accomplish, and what a lasting, positive contribution she’s made to the community. “The Arboretum’s contributions are diverse, from serving as a beautiful place for people to enjoy, to housing valuable collections like the Smith-Mossman Azalea Garden, to enhancing learning experiences for preschoolers through college students,” Ostermann said. What Arboretum events do you enjoy? The Hellebore Tea, which gives us the opportunity to ditch our gardening chores and attend a high

”structure” in a vase of cut flowers. Place a few stems of horsetail around a cluster of weedy grasses and you’ll have an arrangement that may gladden your heart as you watch the contents slowly die. Display your flower arrangement of volunteer plants outdoors so the neighbors will think you are growing weeds on purpose – just to be trendy when if comes to flower arrangements. Stake: Use metal rebar stakes to corral and support your huge dahlias, delphiniums, anemones and other tall, late-summer bloomers. The flowers of fall often fall over themselves and past history proves that perennials tipped over onto the lawn can end up as confetti in the mower blades. Plants should be staked before they need it – but staking a wayward bloomer

in late summer can mean an autumn encore of color. Season: Harvest fresh herbs on a summer morning after the dew has dried from the foliage. Place stems of cut mint, basil, oregano and parsley in a glass near the kitchen counter. Using fresh herbs instead of salt and pepper to season foods is another reason to celebrate the summer season. To flavor sauces and stews, tie the stems of fresh herbs together with a thick thread and let the herbal bouquet simmer in the sauce. The string allows the chef to remove all the herbs just before serving and to skip the dicing, chopping and slicing. Photograph: Take some pictures of your garden. Late summer photos tell the visual story of what plants you need to move and which color or vegetable

combinations worked well. Garden photos are a great way to add inspiration to a winter indoors spent dreaming and scheming about the plans for your garden next summer.

ADULT VACCINATIONS Many adults believe that the days of shots and booster shots are as far behind them as riding bikes all day long in the summer. While most grown people can’t afford the luxury of a two-month long summer vacation, adults still do need to pay attention to their vaccinations. The diseases that vaccines prevent have not gone away. Illnesses like flu, chicken pox or shingles, and hepatitis B can leave otherwise healthy people bedridden for weeks or even months. Some diseases that are preventable by vaccines are even life threatening. It’s a good idea to talk to your health care provider about a vaccination schedule and what vaccines may be needed. Then take the necessary steps to stay healthy. With adulthood comes responsibility, including the need to protect ourselves and our loved ones. The fact is that immunity from childhood vaccines can wear off and you may be at risk for new and different diseases. Factors such as your age, lifestyle, health conditions, locations of travel, and previous immunizations determine the specific immunizations you will need. To schedule an appointment, please call Southlake Clinic at (253) 395-1972. Our primary care providers are part of a multispecialty physician network and are also available on Saturdays.

The agony of summer homework for parents and students we have to bug them about it, remind them where we are in the summer so they plan ahead, and as it was this year, we may have to take them somewhere to complete the homework. I know a mom who refuses to let her kids do summer homework. Her reasoning is, “If the teachers are not contractually obligated to work during the summer, the students should not have to work either.” I asked my sister, who is a teacher, what she thought about it. She said, “Every place I’ve worked has given out summer homework. There is good research out Gretchen Leigh

Living with Gleigh

Oh the agony of summer homework! My daughters just hate having summer homework. They feel it interferes with their busy summer schedules: playing video games all night in the family room, hanging out in their rooms all day playing video games, watching whatever their latest movie obsession is over and over, and complaining to their friends on Skype about summer homework. I have mixed feelings about summer homework. When teachers assign students summer homework, they also assign the homework to the parents. In order to get the kids to do it,

there that shows that the long break is detrimental to memory. ”As a teacher, I don’t like the long break because kids do forget a lot. I also don’t like the sudden onslaught of grading that comes in right at the beginning of the school year when kids turn in their summer assignment. Do I think it is necessary, yes, and more so now in the age of electronics where kids are less likely to read all summer, or play outside, or work, or do chores, or be involved in true projects, or go to a camp or art class or something, or be busier than using computers and gaming equipment. ”I’m not sure about the thinking that it cuts into family time because kids spend a lot of the summer

laying around when the adults in the family are working and running lives. I always suggest that the students set up either a 45 minute window of time every day to get the summer work done or one portion of a day once a week to address it. ”The question I always ask parents in matters like this is what they want for their children and if they are willing to guide their children’s learning year around.” So with both positions filed in my head, I pulled on my best parenting panties and came to a conclusion of my own: It won’t hurt you, do it anyway. I even offered to be the parent to drive the kids around on a kind of city scavenger hunt assignment. It’s a class on

human geography and they were assigned to find different unique places of history and infrastructures that binds us as a society. They had to have a picture of one of their team members in front of each place. It turned out to be a lot of fun. And we weren’t alone. As we pulled into a gated community and asked if we could take a picture, the attendant told us they’d had an onslaught of students doing the same thing all week. Even though we had fun doing this project with her friends, my daughter complained about the remainder of the homework packet and how the social studies teacher gave them fifty pages, while the English and science teacher had only given a couple. I tried

to explain to her it probably wasn’t fifty pages of actual work, but just reading. She wouldn’t hear it, the teacher was just mean. Then when she finished the remainder of the packet, she said, “Mom, you were right. It was mostly just reading.” I was right? I don’t know about you, but my summer is complete.

[ MORROW from page 1] superintendent position appeals to me,” Morrow said. “I’d say the superintendent position in Tahoma appeals to me, if you understand the distinction there. I think we’re a unique school system with unique challenges and unique needs and I’ve grown up with it for the last 32 years. I think I’ve been part of the leadership team in our system that’s created what I think is a really quality environment for kids and teachers to go to school. And so the opportunity to support that and maintain it and improve on that is what appealed to me. I wouldn’t be applying for a superintendent’s job in Kent, for example, that wouldn’t have interested me. But in Tahoma it does. Bottom line is I believe in who we are and what we do. And there are some significant challenges ahead for our system that I think will be interesting to take on.” Morrow earned his bachelors degree in kinesiology at

the University of Washington and, later, his masters in education at Western Washington University. “I had a mentor, Rod Sivertsen, who was the former athletic director in the Tahoma School District and kind of mentored me into the idea of being an educator,” Morrow said of how he developed an interest in education. “That’s kind of how it got started for me, in fact coaching was an avenue to help make that happen.” Morrow’s first job in the district was as an assistant basketball and assistant football coach and also as a substitute teacher. “Then the next year I got hired as a teacher and went from there,” Morrow said. “Back then Tahoma was an awfully small school district. There was a nine through 12 high school with maybe 750 kids.” Morrow spent time as an assistant principal at Tahoma High School before becoming the principal at TJH. The biggest challenge Morrow said he sees the district

facing in the immediate future is space for students. “Without question the number one need in our system is housing, so passing the bond Nov. 5 is the highest priority because that will then determine what the next three to four, five years are going to look like in our system,” Morrow said. Other challenges Morrow knows he will have to deal with in coming years include implementation of the Common Core State Standards and helping students achieve the new benchmarks, and the new teacher and principal evaluation program the district is implementing. Should the bond pass, making sure that the projects funded by it are done correctly and responsibly would also be a top priority, Morrow said. “We’re going to have to do that (implement Common Core and TPEP) either way. How we do that is going to be predicated on passing the bond,” Morrow said. Whatever happens with the bond, Morrow said the district will have to start planning the day after the election for the district’s next steps — whether that is building a new high school or preparing for other alternatives like multi-track and year-round schooling. “One pathway is challenging but is energizing in a real positive way,” Morrow said. “The other pathway is challenging but is a little more negative. I’m talking about having to inform families that your child is going to have to be on a year-round school or double shifting or whatever that might be. And that will be a multi-year process, either one of those.” This school year is going to be one of transition for both Morrow and the school district. Morrow will split his time between Tahoma Junior High, where he will remain principal this year, and being mentored by Maryanski. “A little bit of this is an unknown what it’s going to look like but I’ll be spending as much time as they need me to at the district office, I’ll be at all the board meetings, attending elementary principal meetings, middle school principal meetings, that kind of thing,” Morrow said. “It’s a real advantage for me to transition in this way and I have the opportunity to work with the 20 year superintendent for a year, Mike Maryanski … I think it’s a nice transition for the system so when Mike leaves there shouldn’t be a learning curve relative to what’s happening in the system and what the goals are and that sort of thing.” Morrow said that the sense of camaraderie and collaboration are just some of the reasons he believes that Tahoma is different. “It’s real unique in that way and fosters a lot of the collaboration that we have and Mike has done a really good job over a lot of years fostering collaboration between teachers and administration and working on a collaborative decision making model that I think has helped lend itself to that unique feeling,” Morrow said. “I’m taking this job for no other reason than I want to do a great job for the community and the staff here at Tahoma. I have no political ambitions. This is the last job I’ll ever have.”

On the gridiron BY KRIS HILL AND KATHERINE SMITH

This season on the football field in the South Puget Sound League 4A North expect a battle for the top spot as Kentwood, Kentlake and Tahoma all look to rebound from tough playoff losses in 2012 to make deep runs.

KENTWOOD

If Kentwood learned anything a year ago from the upset loss against Arlington in the first round of the playoffs it’s not to look past anyone. Senior wide receiver Terrance Grady said the Conquerors were thinking about the next game. Brandon Sytsma, a senior tailback who plays safety and cornerback, too, explained he already broke down film of the next opponent he thought Kentwood would get after beating Arlington. “We definitely took the Arlington game as fuel,” Grady said. “It was definitely a slap in the face.” Grady explained that Kentwood’s players started working hard in the offseason in January and pushed through all summer to get

better. And it didn’t hurt that the Conks got to take on the Eagles again at a camp this summer at the University of Puget Sound to exact a bit of revenge even if it didn’t count. Kentwood won the SPSL North last year with a perfect regular season record. Then Arlington stormed into French Field in the first round of the playoffs and sent Kentwood home in a shocking upset. Since then, Grady said, one thing has come through about the 2013 squad. “We’re a really hard working team,” Grady said. “We had a speed coach come in and do a speed camp with us. He said in the 10 years he’s come to Kentwood, we’re the hardest working group. That really puts no limits on what we can do. With that hard work, that brings cohesiveness.” The team also bonds with what Sytsma described as an annual tradition, a team hike to the summit of Tiger Mountain. “I feel like it really brings the team together,” Sytsma said. “The smaller, quicker guys can get up the moun-

tain quicker and as we get to the top we go down and help the bigger guys. It really brings us together. We learn to rely on each other and trust each other to get the job done.” Knowing his teammates can push through on that hike helps Sytsma learn, he said, to trust they will have the mental toughness during games when that is needed most. Trust is key, too, Grady said on the offensive side of the ball as Kentwood will look to a new quarterback, a sophomore. “One of the thing I’ve had to work on as a receiving is gaining his trust and be able to have confidence in him and just have that comfort with each other,” Grady said. Sytsma said the team as a whole has focused on trust and cooperation and learning to play together, especially with several new players on the offense. Grady added that the defense this season, which has a fair number of returning starters, will have some new looks to it. “We’ve incorporated [ more GRIDIRON page 10 ]

New Head Start program to open at Jenkins Creek Kent Youth and Family Services will open a new Head Start preschool site at Jenkins Creek Elementary School this fall. The Head Start program, which serves children ages three through five years old who come from low income families, focuses on helping kids be ready for kindergarten. This year will mark the first time Head Start and ECEAP programs are back in Kent schools since community agencies took over operating the programs, which used to be run by the schools until a levy was passed that reduced class sizes and meant that the schools didn’t have the space to run the preschools, according to Theresa LaRonde, the Head Start and ECEAP program director for KYFS. “We’ve always had, in South King County, a really high unmet need,” LaRonde said. “A lot of kids that are eligible but don’t receive service because we fill up.”

LaRonde said that the programs’ priorities are meeting the needs of low income families. She explained that priority goes to children who are homeless, foster kids, or have IEPs. LaRonde said that every application receives a point total and the kids with the most points are enrolled in the program. Jenkins Creek will be home to four classes of 19 students with two morning and two afternoon classes. “In the past the families from (the) Covington area have been transported, bused, to our Kent Family Center location in the Birch Creek public housing,” LaRonde said. “So our big building is out there, but it’s a substantial bus ride, so we might as well cut down on having to do that.” LaRonde also pointed out that having students from the Covington area at Jenkins Creek will allow more students to be served through freeing up space at the Kent Family Center. The classes at Jenkins Creek will be funded through the

Head Start program, preschool that is funded by the federal government. LaRonde explained that ECEAP is essentially the same thing but it is state funded. “When the state received Head Start slots, or funding for slots, the state determined that it wasn’t filling the need of the state so they put extra money in and started the ECEAP, and that’s through the department of Early Learning,” LaRonde said. The program at Jenkins Creek will focus on preparing students to be school ready, as well as on nutrition and health.

“And then we have a family support staff person that works with the families and helps the families with resources and setting goals from themselves and helping support them attaining their goals,” LaRonde said. She also said that they are looking forward to partnering with the district at Jenkins Creek. “We’re very excited,” Jenkins Creek Principal Cathy Lendosky said. “We’ve made a lot of moves around the building to get everything to work and get everything to fit and have it be wonderful.” In addition to the child

piece, the program also works with families to help them achieve their goals, LaRonde said. “One of the things I pride myself in is that I have parents that volunteer in the classroom and then they may become a bus monitor and they like it and they may become an assistant teacher and teacher,” LaRonde said. “About 50 percent of my staff are past

parents, and I think (that) speaks to the program.”

Parents who are interested in the Head Start and ECEAP programs can contact Kent Youth and Family Services, located at 13111 SE 274th Street in Kent, or at 253-6309590 for an application or pick up an application at Jenkins Creek.

Maple Valley Fire and Life Safety officials announced Aug. 16 that the department will acquire a piece of steel from the World Trade Center in New York City but could use help in covering the costs of shipping to get it here. Firefighter Ryan Carpenter helped the department secure the piece through a partnership with the New York Fire Department and the World Trade Center steel program during the past few months. The department will receive a piece of steel from the remains of the buildings which were attacked by terrorists Sept. 11, 2001. The piece of steel I beam weighs about 100 pounds and is about 18 inches in length. According to information provided by Maple Valley Fire, it will eventually be displayed in a public space in Maple Valley

as the center piece of a memorial which will pay tribute and serve as a reminder of all those who were killed — including more than 300 firefighters — in the terrorist attacks. A committee of personnel from the city, police and fire departments as well as community members to work on the memorial. Maple Valley Fire officials anticipate it will be a lengthy process which will require a significant amount of fundraising. Once the steel beam arrives, it will be displayed at Station 80. Thanks to the help of YRC Freight, FDNY and the WTC Steel program, Maple Valley Fire will get 75 percent off the shipping costs but still needs to cover nearly $500 in freight charges. Anyone interested in making donations to cover the cost of shipping can send them or drop them off at Station 80, 23775 S.E. 264 St., Maple Valley. Checks should be made payable to Maple Valley Firefighters — WTC.

He also wants to update the cityâ€™s parks capital improvement plan which was originally adopted in 2005. â€œThe city has goals about how many acres of parks we want, how many trails, how many ballfields,â€? Thomas said. â€œThis is a plan for meeting those goals. We need a plan to deliver the parks system the community wants.â€? Thomas said he wants to request funding and staff time for project oriented work as well as for a consultant to study a park impact fee. Though the city received a commerce grant to help pay for the second phase of Covington Community Park, Thomas will need to find additional cash for that part of the project, so he also will seek funding through grant applications.

As for the parks planner position which was advertised in late July, interviews began Monday. â€œWe got quite a few qualified candidates,â€? Thomas said. â€œI was excited to read the applications.â€? The plan is to conduct interviews through the end of this month with the goal for the person to start in late September or early October. Candidates should have a bachelorâ€™s degree in landscape architecture, according to the job posting on Covingtonâ€™s website, with at least two years of work experience with increasing responsibility. The posting said the city â€œis seeking a creative and highly motivated Parks Planner to assist in the development of a parks system (parks, natural areas, open spaces, wildlife habitats and other recreational projects, facilities and trails) that meets citizen needs in a young and growing city.â€?

Thomas said. â€œThe parks CIP needs to be incorporated into that comp plan update.â€?

The parks CIP Thomas refers to is the list of projects which have yet to be built that would add to the cityâ€™s recreational options in terms of parks, open spaces and trails. That parks CIP needs to be updated, Thomas said, because it doesnâ€™t provide the kind of guidance necessary as staff move forward with those kinds of projects. â€œWe also have timelines that we have to meet for Covington Community Park phase two, including getting to a certain level of design for grant applications at the state level next spring,â€?

ended up providing a very useful purpose: he rode ahead of the group to ensure that the roads and trails we were on were prepared for us to go through, especially for the ATV that we had. They had so many inspiring moments along the way. Multiple people came out to thank them and tell them how much they appreciated their dedication to shedding light on the issues of brain disease and what our veterans go through. One mom gave them pictures of her children to run with who had suffered from PTSD while the owner of the Red Dog Saloon came out to thank them because she had to watch her boyfriend suffer. Ralph and Marlys, who ran 65 miles and are both in their 60s, a man running on his titanium leg, Bob Derga whose son was part of Lima company that Always Brothers supported last year and so much more. Multiple bonds were created on this run. People became members of the family and lives were forever changed. To see the appreciation from many and the support that multiple communities offered was phenomenal. I couldnâ€™t help but laugh to see the videos that came out of Auburn and Pacific from the middle of the night. In the pitch black they had cheering stations and sent competition videos back and forth to see which community supported them more. It was such a huge momentum boost for all of these brothers who ran. At this point they had run close to 18 hours and were exhausted, in pain, battling cramps and more. Regardless, they moved on and like Marines do in the middle of a battle, no one was left behind. They started this run and finished it together in Seattle with an escort from the Seattle Police Department. SPD personnel said it was satisfying to be able to escort them in because of all that the organization represents. Although the run came to an end, the battle for finding cures and answers for PTSD and TBI is far from over. Always Brothers will continue to run every year to help raise money and awareness for our fallen veterans. My hope is that we can get them back here next year. They have not repeated runs yet, but we can be the first! There is a huge push to have them back during Marine Week. This would be such a wonderful experience for these Marines to run, but also our active and retired Marines will have the opportunity to see the amazing outpouring of love and support that I witnessed first hand. If you would like to see Always Brothers return please send emails of support. You can find out all the information about this amazing organization at www.alwaysbrothers.org I have been talking to Dan, Storm and Tanya about different ways that we can carry this momentum through out the year. We will keep you posted about what our next steps are. We are also excited to talk to Serenity Equine Rescue who wants to help our veterans through horse therapy. If you are part of an organization that is interested in helping our veterans please let me know. We will also be looking at local and national resources that may be available to bring to our community. I truly cannot say thank you enough to Always Brothers for what they did right here. It was an honor and privilege to see your willingness to help our veterans and a testimony to your belief that a brother or sister should never be left behind.

Metropolitan King County Councilman Reagan Dunn announced that the Community Meal Council and Hobart Blastâ€”both located in the Hobart neighborhoodâ€”and the Greater Maple Valley Unincorporated Area Council in King County Council District 9 were selected to receive Community Service Area Grants. â€œThe good work of these community groups cannot be overstated,â€? said Dunn. â€œI am very pleased to see this grant money go to such worthy organizations that help strengthen communities and bring people together.â€? The Community Meal Council that is affiliated with the Hobart Community Church was awarded a $3,000 grant. This grant will be used to help purchase a new refrigerator and or freezer to help them better serve the members of the community that depend on the meals they provide. The Community Meal Council provides approximately 100 meals on a weekly basis and is in dire need of a larger working freezer and refrigerator. â€œWe are overjoyed to receive this grant,â€? said Les Dawson of the Community Meals Council. â€œThese funds will help us purchase new equipment and Velcro will no longer be needed to keep our supplies properly frozen.â€? Hobart Blast in conjunction with the Hobart Community Church and the Hobart Store were awarded $1,000 to help with their community Labor Days celebration. The grant will aid in the purchase of food for the large community gathering. The Greater Maple Valley Unincorporated Area Council was awarded $2,750 to help aid with their newsletter and a second grant of $2,800 to help assist with their yearly model train show that

draws residents from throughout the community. The King County Community Service Areas offer expanded ways for the County to engage with the 255,000 county residents who live outside city boundaries of which over 70,000 reside in King County Council District 9. A total of $60,000 will be reimbursed for projects in 2013. The King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks Community Service Areas Program will provide funds to selected projects through a letter of award. Amounts will be limited to less than $5,000 per project. The grant programs within the CSAâ€™s are available through a competitive application process. The grants must be used to fund community projects that offer unincorporated area residents in the Community Service Areas an opportunity to participate and be more connected in their communities.
