Joseph Cimaomo, Jr., started meeting with Covington City Council members and staff not long after he defeated Dave Lucavish in the Nov. 5 election. Not only is Cimaomo the newest City Council member, but at 28, he is the youngest. He is passionate about politics and government and he knows it will take time to learn how to be a council member. In some ways, though, Ciamaomo’s youth and energy could be a good thing. “I believe it is COVINGTON a benefit being a younger age, being a young family guy,” he said. “Being that young guy gives me that fresh set of eyes. What’s worked in the past 20 years may not work work in the future.” Cimaomo said during an interview Dec. 5, just a few days before his new council member orientation Monday at City Hall, he was told to expect to leave with stacks
Funding for several public works projects as well as supporting a reinstatement of liquor revenue sharing and supporting Covington’s project to widen Kent-Kangley at Jenkins Creek are the top legislative priorities for Maple Valley in 2014. City Manager David Johnston presented the proposed priorities to council at the City Council meeting on Monday night, to which council members offered their consensus. One of the projects the city will seek fundMAPLE ing for is for VALLEY improvements to state Route 169 between Witte Road and Southeast 240th Street. The project would add a second northbound lane to that section of roadway as well as a bike lane, sidewalk, lighting, and landscaping. The estimated cost of the project is $6.35 million, with $2 million to come from local fund-

Grant to cover the cost of building new bridge in Jenkins Creek Park BY KRIS HILL khill@covingtonreporter.com
Nearly three years after a storm which dumped record amounts of rain on the region washed out the bridge in Jenkins Creek Park in Covington, the city received grant funding to pay to replace the span. The bridge was originally built in 1990 when the park was owned by King County. Covington received the park from the county in November 2002.
Because the bridge was part of a walking transportation corridor heavily used by residents of the Timberlane neighborhood to get to Covington’s downtown core as well as children to get to school, it is a victory the city was awarded a $418,000 federal community development block grant to cover the cost of building a new bridge. “Basically what that does is re-establishes the bridge crossing there at Jenkins Creek,” said Don Vondran, Covington’s public works director. “It also creates an

ADA accessible route all the way through the park from the west side across the bridge through the park to the east side of the bridge in the vicinity of Jenkins Creek Elementary.” Covington staff received a letter Nov. 12 that it received the grant in order to make it possible for those who rely on the bridge crossing such as children and the elderly to get to school as well as into the downtown core. The bridge was built out of timber boards and logs anchored by cement pads on either side of the creek. Parks and recreation staff planned to put the bridge through a stress test in December 2010 to determine if it was safe [ more BRIDGE page 7 ]

Community News and Notes COUNTY COUNCIL ADOPTS REGULATIONS FOR MARIJUANA OPERATIONS IN UNINCORPORATED KING COUNTY The Metropolitan King County Council unanimously adopted legislation modifying King County building codes and development regulations for the siting of recreational marijuana businesses licensed by Washington State Liquor Control Board. In 2012, state voters adopted Initiative 502, which legalized the purchase, possession, and use of small amounts of marijuana by state residents 21 years and older. The initiative also established the means for regulating the production, processing, sales, and taxing of marijuana. The legislation adopted by the council — which is in effect only in the unincorporated areas within King County — sets the regulations on the production, processing and sale of marijuana in those communities:

Communities in Schools of Kent is connecting community mentors to students at area schools including Covington Elementary to help students thrive. The program, which is part of the national Communities in Schools organization started in Kent in the 1990s and moved to a site coordinator based model in 2003. Site coordinators work with the school to facilitate the mentoring program, and in some other school districts other Communities in Schools affiliates also have tutoring programs, as well as connecting various community resources to students and their families. “Communities in Schools has a model of providing site coordinators at the schools that help connect community resources to the students, and the whole idea of that is to let us do that so the schools can teach,” said Dee Klem, the elementary mentor coordinator for Communities in Schools of Kent, said. Currently, the program has site coordinators at Scenic Hill Elementary, Mill Creek Middle School, and
Kent Phoenix Academy and also works with Covington Elementary through the school’s family and community engagement facilitator, Angela Stave. The program has had mentors at Covington Elementary for more than five years, and currently has three mentors at the school. Mentors are matched with students for the school year and spend an hour a week with the student at school. At the elementary level, Klem said, that often is visiting during lunch or recess. “All of the contact with the student is at school during school,” Kelm said. “Because we are the nation’s leading drop out prevention program, so for us that mentor contact being at school, during school, that mentor contact makes that positive connection to school for the student. So we actually have some pretty strict rules about them not having contact outside of school because then it’s all the sudden not about school any more and that is really our focus as an organization.” Klem added that the focus of the program is on students who need that extra bit of attention or

encouragement to be successful. “One of the things that’s really important for people to know is that as much as our program is sort of an intervention for students, it’s a pretty mild intervention,” Klem said. “Students that are really serious behavior or academic issues usually are not a good fit for our program. They need more help than somebody who goes to our two or three hour training and comes once a week can provide to them. Someone who phrased it once, and I thought it was really beautiful, it’s really for students who are on the brink of success.” Stave, who works for the school district and coordinates the program at Covington Elementary said that she sees benefits for the students who are mentored. “I think it helps with attendance, I think kids look forward to it,” Stave said. “I think it helps with behavior, too. It just re-enforces positive behavior.”
Stave said that they can always use more mentors. “I think the more caring, consistent adults you have in a building the more the entire community benefits,” Stave said. Leslie Hamada is a Covington resident who has mentored at Kent Phoenix Academy for three years and through various organizations in several different school districts for more than 40 years. “I know the great need in certain areas with high school kids and so I just focused on that when I started to mentor here (Kent Phoenix Academy),” Hamada said. “The Community in Schools in Kent is one of the best community of schools of all that I have worked in.” Hamada said one thing that drew her to mentoring is her desire to see the achievement gap between students closed. “It has been a really good experience,” Hamada said. “Kids who have that lifeline, whether it’s a teacher, a mentor, or somebody in
the community that has reached out to help them in a more personal way can make a difference in their future tremendously.” Kelm said that the program is always looking to grow and add more schools, more site coordinators and more mentors. “We would really like to expand the site coordinators,” Klem said. “Covington Elementary would be near the top of our list where we would like to see one. That provides more comprehensive services for those schools. We’re always looking for more mentors and we do usually focus them on schools that have site coordinators but we have a long track record of being flexible.”

Sometimes I forget about the need of those in the community who have less than my family does so sometimes I forget about the Food Pantry at the Black Diamond Community Center, the Storehouse at Real Life Church or Maple Valley Food Bank and Emergency Services. I visited the Maple Valley Food Bank Tuesday morning to help jog my memory about what that organization does to help those who are in need in the area. I wanted to get photos but I realized it had been at least a year since the last time I stopped in. Changes to the food bank have brought a grocery store style system. Clients can pick items off shelves like they would shopping at Safeway, on a small scale, rather than going through a line getting a handout. Years ago, when Executive Director Lila Henderson first started working at the food bank, they would bag up food and hand it out, so much has changed during the past two decades. It is important that I do not forget about MVFB or other organizations who help out those in need in our communities. I grew up poor in Bellevue in the ‘80s and I can imagine growing up on free and reduced lunch in Maple Valley is equally challenging for children of the 21st century. Walking into the revamped food bank to see it set up like a store gave me childhood flashbacks to going through the food bank line with my mother, grabbing boxes and cans of nonperishable foods laid out on tables. I remember as a first grader feeling ashamed that we were in such a place. I am not sure where we went then but Hopelink in Bellevue now provides a food bank in my hometown. We also relied heavily on the Overlake Service League, which is now called Bellevue LifeSpring, a 102-year-old organization that provided many of the services Maple Valley Food Bank does now in terms of emergency assistance with paying bills, meals

Shop local this holiday season BY CALVIN W. GOINGS
Scan this code and start receiving local news on your mobile device today!
During the holiday season, Americans across the country have a unique opportunity to strengthen their local economies, support their communities and get great services and products by shopping small – shopping at small businesses, that is. The holidays give us all the chance to reconnect with our neighbors and, whether you’re grabbing a cup of coffee from the shop around the corner or patronizing a local book store, every purchase at a small business makes a difference in your community. America’s 28 million small businesses are the backbone of our economy, creating two out of every three net new private sector jobs, and we all have a role in helping small businesses succeed. At the U.S. Small Business Administration, we are committed to ensuring
and gifts during the holidays, to name a few. There is something about the new grocery store format, which Henderson told me went into use in mid-August, which feels like it wouldn’t be a place I would have been ashamed to go as a child. There is something to be said about helping those who are in need to feel like human beings and to treat them with dignity. I am proof that children in those situations can break that cycle, so imagine what happens if more youngsters find dignity in going to the food store at MVFB with their parents. I saw moms there Tuesday with toddlers bundled up against the cold, women like my mother and like myself now, doing the best they can to take care of their children. Henderson said the feedback about the new format has been positive. Clients love it and feel more comfortable there. It was a risk, Henderson added, to switch to the format and they watched other food banks carefully. The board and the staff were not sure if it would be financially sustainable but it works. It will continue to be viable thanks to a large outpouring of community support during the
holiday season. This time of year more than half of the in-kind donations made to MVFB comes in and that allows Henderson, the staff as well as volunteers to continue offering all the services the nonprofit provides. Not only does the food bank have the standard nonperishable staples of peanut butter, canned goods, macaroni and cheese, boxed potatoes, and so on, but Henderson said they also are able to supplement the fresh produce grocery stores donate with purchases from Charlie’s Produce as well as fresh dairy products. This allows more variety of food and healthier choices available to balance out the mass produced, inexpensive preservative-laden junk food poor families often buy because it is what they can afford. This is the kind of food volunteers and staff can send families home with knowing they are helping to fill their bellies with healthy food as well as helping parents model good eating habits. As someone who grew up on free and reduced lunch, who ate a lot of Rice-ARoni, Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, Corn Flakes, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches but made
small businesses have access to the capital, counseling and contracting opportunities they need to start and grow a business. Since 2009, SBA has supported more than $126 billion in lending to more than 260,000 small businesses and entrepreneurs across the country. In Fiscal Year 2013 alone, SBA supported more than $29 billion in loans to America’s small businesses and entrepreneurs. Since 2009 in the Seattle District, SBA guaranteed $2.9 billion in supported loans. SBA also has an extensive counseling and training network of Small Business Development Centers, Women’s Business Centers and SCORE volunteers which cumulatively reach more than 1 million people each year. In the Seattle District office, our partners have provided counseling and training to more than 7,500 small businesses. In addition to helping small businesses access the tools and resources that can help them take their business to the next level, SBA also encourages the federal government to shop small by overseeing its supply chain for small businesses. Federal contracting is a win-win. The federal government gets to work with innovative small businesses – often with direct access to the CEO – and small businesses get
an important source of revenue. In FY 2012, 22.25 percent of federal contracting dollars went to small businesses, up from to 21.65 percent in FY 2011. And for the first time, more agencies than ever before reached or surpassed their prime contracting goals. In Washington state, nearly $2 billion of federal contract dollars awarded went to small businesses in FY 2013. On Nov. 30, millions of Americans shopped small in celebration of Small Business Saturday. By shopping small and supporting local business during the rest of this holiday season, we can all help give millions of families the opportunity to achieve the American dream. When small businesses succeed, we all win. Here in the Seattle District office, the SBA is committed to helping small business owners do what they do best: provide exceptional products and services and create jobs. And American consumers have an important part to play. For more information about the small business resources in your community, contact the Seattle District office at 206-553-7310.

Hellebores perfect for adding color to a winter garden Hellebores are drought, shade and deer resistant perennials. Once known as “the Christmas rose� or the “Lenton Rose,� today hellebores are new and improved with larger, more colorful blooms that can bedazzle the garden all winter long. In western Washington the wholesale grower Skagit Gardens has been providing hellebores that can take the place of poinsettias as indoor Christmas gift plants. You can now find the whiteblooming hellebore Jacob potted up and wrapped in festive red foil to give as an easy-to-grow gift plant for indoor enjoyment. Americans are finally catching up to the Europeans who have made Hellebore gift plants a Christmas
tradition. The advantage of giving a potted hellebore over a potted poinsettia is that the hellebore can go right out into the garden immediately after the holidays and continue to bloom and grow for many winters to come. White-blooming hellebores may be the most popular as holiday gift plants but there is now a rainbow of hellebore varieties that bloom deep purple, green, pink, spotted, splotched, peach and ruby red. Hellebores have been cross bred and improved to become the perfect plant for western Washington winter gardens. Look for locally grown hellebores later this spring from the Gold Collection that offer not only impressive blooms but also more compact plants with attractive, evergreen foliage.

grocery store style system follows the USDA’s MyPlate nutrition guide, which has increased the amount of food they provide to households by 60 percent. “Monthly we give out over 80,000 pounds of food,� Henderson wrote. “Each day our doors open we see between 80 and 100 households. Thirty-three percent of our customers come from Covington. We distributed 680 Thanksgiving meals last month.� More than 1,000 children are expected to receive gifts from the Christmas Store,
Henderson added. And while there is considerable support during the holidays for MVFB, it is important not to forget it is there, to not forget the need. I know I do. My life has gotten comfortable. I can buy whatever I want. I have the choice of not only avoiding fast food and processed, pre-packaged food primarily in favor of fresh meat, dairy and produce, but I often go the route of non-GMO organic products.

The middle of December means the celebration of the winter solstice, which is the shortest day of the year. For gardeners this means that by the end of the month, the sun will set later each day and bulbs and buds will begin to stir in a slow wake up toward spring. This is part two of creating and celebrating the winter garden. Last week, I wrote about choosing a site, (one you can see from indoors or near the entry), adding outdoor lighting and choosing a focal point plant. Now it is time to consider some of the best plant material for winter gardens. Top plant for winter color: Heavenly hellebores – for indoor and outdoor color.

overseen by the City Council in its capacity as the TBD board of directors. A TBD would allow the city to generate additional revenue through a few routes including a sales tax increase, which was recommended by a report put together in 2012 by the city’s budget priorities advisory committee, a group of residents who went over the city’s finances with a fine-toothed comb. The sales tax increase was put to the voters Nov. 5, but failed by a small margin. Had it passed, revenues generated by the sales tax increase could have been put toward road projects on city streets as well as making it possible for the city to hire another police officer. Public safety is among the other issues on Cimaomo’s agenda. “As far as other issues that we have, adding to our police force, seeing how that works out,” Cimamo said. “And really working on our parks plans, working closely with our parks director, seeing what our parks commission comes up with and providing those things for young families to do on those warm summer days. We’re taking great steps to make sure parks and recreation is a big focus.” Cimaomo said the city has a number of young people who not only like to play video games but like to play outside, walk on trails, participate in sports and go to events in the city preferably in its parks needs, a share in marijuana revenues for cities, and rebuilding infrastructure funds including the Public Works Trust Fund. Council members also discussed their desire to support Covington’s plans to widen Kent-Kangley

He added that he is looking forward to how the Hawk property subarea planning process develops as the city plans for that chunk of land off of Southeast 256th Street and state Route 18 which is set to be developed with possibly retail and housing. “I want to ensure that we’re doing it the right way,” Cimaomo said. “I just want to make sure we’re going to build what’s right for the city so we’re not a cookie cutter city.” Cimaomo added that it means so much to him to have earned the approval of voters in Covington. “I may have been born in California but Covington has been my home for so long,” he said. “The fact that the people of Covington have given me this opportunity to make sure their home is great and is growing responsibly is something that I cherish. I will be at their doors again sometime this summer to keep them informed.”

People often wonder why they should get a new flu vaccine every single year. Well, it’s not because the vaccine wears off, but because each year there is a new strain of flu virus to contend with. Research on the pandemic swine flu outbreak of 2009, however, has enabled researchers to come very close to creating a vaccine that will immunize the body against all types of flu. Researchers discovered that some people have a certain type of immune cell called CD8 T. The CD8 T cells actually kill the viruses at their unchanging core. Researchers believe that this finding is the blueprint for the development of a universal vaccine that will stimulate the body to create more CD8 T cells. Everyone 6 months of age and older should get a flu vaccine. It is especially important to get the vaccine if you, someone you live with, or someone you care for is at high risk of complications from the flu.

There was discussion of reinforcing the bridge at that time. Then a real-world stress test in the form of a heavy winter rain storm Dec. 11, 2010 pounded the bridge. The resulting flooding was more than the bridge could bear. What remained of the span was removed as quickly as possible because
it was unsafe to use, but, in the first few days after the storm the bridge was crossed by children on their way to school. One of the conditions of the grant, Vondran explained, is that the city needs to demonstrate it benefits low to moderate income households.

The big news, though, is the fact the city was awarded the grant money. “We applied for a Safe Routes to School Grant and actually did pretty well on it and we almost made it to the cut line,� Vondran said. “They talked about

Walking a simple yet highly effective healthy measure be an important part of stroke prevention strategies in older people,” said Dr. Barbara J. Jefferis, a epidemiologist from University College London and lead author of the study, in an interview with Reuters. According to her findings, men who walked four to seven hours each week were 11 percent less likely to suffer a stroke than those who walked three hours or less. Participants in the study who walked the most – more than three hours daily – had a 60-percent lower risk than those who spent the least amount of time walking. Although this particular study included only men, there is no reason to assume that walking wouldn’t benefit women in similar ways. Walking seems to provide other advanTimi Gustafson
COMMENTARY
At a time when extreme sports are all the hype, mundane activities like walking don’t get much attention. It’s just too basic, too boring to even think about it. Yet walking can be a great indicator of both physical and mental well being. In addition, walking is considered by health experts as one of the most effective ways to stay fit and fend off illnesses like high blood pressure, heart disease, and even dementia. A recent study from England found that taking a long walk every day can help decrease the risk of stroke, especially in older men. It doesn’t seem to matter as much how fast someone walks, just how often and for how long. “Our study suggests that maintaining an active lifestyle, specifically by spending more time on all forms of walking, could
Unincorporated Area Council Area Council to Launch Newsletter The Greater Maple Valley Unincorporated Area Council discussed starting a newsletter as well as development in Covington and the Landsburg Mine cleanup plan at its monthly meeting on Dec. 2. The Area Council’s outreach/survey/ election committee presented its final plan for the area council upcoming newsletter. The newsletter will be mailed to unincorporated area residents in the Tahoma School District early in the new year.
The newsletter will provide information on the area council and its activities. Covington Master Planned Development Covington released its final Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed master planned development to be located between SR-18, SR-516, and Cedar Creek Park. The area council’s growth management committee is reviewing the statement for resolution of concerns originally voiced in August in its
detailed comments on the draft environmental impact statement. Although several area council concerns have been addressed in the statement, some, such as, traffic impacts still require additional consideration. The committee currently is documenting those concerns. At the Jan. 6 meeting the area council will review a final set of comments from the committee. In late January the Covington City Council will be holding a public hearing on a planned action ordinance that would approve the proposed MPD based on mitigation outlined in the statement. The area council plans to offer oral testimony at the hearing.
tages as well. A number of studies have found that losing the ability to walk at a reasonably brisk pace can be an indication not just for physical but also mental decline. Researchers at the Mayo Clinic looked at stride length, cadence and velocity of older adults and concluded that gait changes and slowing pace can be early signs of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of age-related dementia. Some of these effects may be delayed, if not prevented, in people who maintain a regular walking regimen. Of course, there is no need to wait until old age to take up walking as a form of exercise. At any time in life, going on hikes or just strolls around the block can help with overall fitness, weight management, bone and muscle strength, balance and flexibility, and also stress management, sleep, and emotional wellbeing. Unfortunately, according to the Centers Rural stormwater retention facility The King County Executive has drafted a development agreement with YarrowBay to permit a 77-unit clustered housing development on 394 acres in the rural area immediately west of Black Diamond. As part of the draft regional stormwater facility would be built in the rural area to primarily serve the master planned developments in Black Diamond. The facility also would be used to alleviate occasional flooding of nearby Horseshoe Lake, outside the city. The area council previously has testified, during the Black Diamond MPD public hearings, about the problems with siting such a facility to primarily serve an urban area. The area council also is concerned with the precedent
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Americans are notoriously averse to walking and prefer driving even for short distances. This is especially true in rural areas and cities that lack a walkable infrastructure. Nevertheless, in its recommendations for greater public health, the agency urges everyone to get a minimum of two and a half hours moderate exercise per week. It may take some creativity and rethinking of lifestyle, but the sooner you start, the better the results will be, now and long-term.

That testimony will request the King County Council reject the draft, while continuing to improve its current process to alleviate occasional flooding of Horseshoe Lake. Landsburg Mine cleanup plan The area council’s natural resources/ parks committee completed its review of the Landsburg Mine Draft Cleanup Action Plan (https://fortress.wa.gov/ ecy/gsp/Sitepage.aspx?csid=60) and presented a set of comments for full area council review. The committee listed several longterm concerns including long term liability by the responsible parties and lack of specific plans should monitoring show major leakage of con-
taminants. In addition, the Committee remains concerned the consent decree specifies “indefinite” funding, which courts in the past have interpreted as “temporary.” Because the in-ground contamination is potentially a very long term problem, such language does not guarantee that sufficient cleanup and remedial funding will be there when needed. The area council authorized preparation and submittal of final comments to the State Department of Ecology by its Dec. 12 deadline. The area council’s next monthly meeting will held from 7-9 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 6 at the Fire Station at SE corner of 231st St & SR-169. Meetings are held the first non-holiday Monday of each month.

In the locker room at Western Washington University there is a poster board covered with sticky notes that outline the women’s soccer team’s goals. Before the season started, explained Kentlake High graduate Katherine Miccile, the board went up and was covered with sticky notes. “A lot of it was ‘Get out of the Sweet 16,’” Miccile said. “It’s been awesome seeing everything fall into place.” A year ago the Vikings women’s soccer team made it to the round of 16 teams in the NCAA Division II tournament for the first time in WWU history, but fell in an overtime loss to University of California San Diego, Miccile explained. This season, Western went a step further, making it to the Final Four. “It’s the first time in our school history that has happened so it’s a really big deal,” Miccile said in a phone interview Dec. 4 before the semi-final match against defending national champion West Florida. “We were thinking, ‘Get past the Sweet 16.’ It’s not a settling feeling. We still have to go further. When we won (in the Sweet 16)
everybody made new goals.” Miccile, a junior defender, loves playing soccer and going to Western. She would enjoy it even if the team weren’t among the best in Division II. “It’s been really positive and really beneficial to me,” Miccile said. “When I first started being recruited, I was thinking I wanted to go (Division I) and be at the biggest school possible. I settled in at Western and it was the perfect fit for me. You have a smaller team of girls and you really get to know everybody. They were really welcoming and I felt like I was wanted.” Miccile noted the community at Western is pretty wonderful, too, and the smaller school environment means the team gets plenty of support from their classmates. Other students, she said, will wish her luck in between classes and some students even flew out to Georgia for the final four match. Success on the field, however, certainly has been satisfying as well. Miccile explained that the balance of the team was one of the key factors of how far the Vikings have come since she started playing at West-

ern in the fall of 2011. “I honestly think it’s our whole entire field because in our whole conference we have the most goals scored and only eight goals against,” Miccile said. “We have seven seniors and four or five juniors so we have a really experienced team. Last year we were first in the nation for defense … this year we were in the top 10. We have the two top scorers in the GNAC so that’s helpful, too. Our team is really, really balanced, so it’s hard to compete with our team.” When Miccile was a freshman, there wasn’t a conference tournament, instead the winner of the GNAC got an automatic bid to the tournament. Last year the Vikings won the league and the conference tournament. “We were so close (to the Final Four) my sophomore year, which just made it better,” Miccile said. “When we lost we just knew that we were just going to fight so much harder… to go further in the tournament. There’s been a lot of passion and intensity. Everybody’s been really focused.” That focus pushed Western Washington into [ more HISTORY page 18 ]

Tahoma ready to defend league title BY KRIS HILL khill@maplevalleyreporter.com
A year ago the Tahoma boys basketball team won its first league championship in school history but the Bears already learned how hard it is to repeat. With a tough overtime loss to Kentwood Dec. 5 at home, Tahoma seniors DeShon Williams, Coleman Wooten and Julian Sumler know the Bears have a target on their backs. “We can’t take breaks,” Williams said the next afternoon during practice. “We’re going to get every team’s best shot being league champs.” Sumler said second-year head coach Brian Davis explained to them it is harder to repeat than win the South Puget Sound League North division the first time. “Everyone is trying to knock us off the mountain,” Sumler said. “I feel like everyone’s coming at us.”
“Just how close we are,” Wooten said. “We’re all brothers — very, very tight knit.” While the trio mentioned the idea of going further in the playoffs this season, they keep their sights on what they can do daily to prepare, on taking it one game at a time. That philosophy helped Tahoma focus on KentMeridian Dec. 7. The Bears bounced back after the loss to the Conquerors to beat the Royals 62-56 at Tahoma. Next up for Tahoma was Auburn Riverside on the road Tuesday night. Wooten explained that the focus is on the immediate task at hand and there are no specifically stated long-term goals. “Just getting better every day,” Williams said. “And the league championships and playoffs will be a byproduct of being better than we were yesterday.”

Kristin Maris, a senior from Issaquah, scored a tying goal with just 36 seconds left for Western to send the match into extra time. The Vikings finished the season with a 20-2-1

record, according to the WWU Athletic Department website. Miccile said that it is easy to get lost in the tournament but she felt like the team dynamics helped them keep their perspective. She is also grateful for the support not just of the community at Western but her friends and family, especially her parents and twin brother Andrew, who is a junior at the University of Washington. “My parents came to
every single game,� Miccile said. “I see them twice a week during the fall. Last year, when we went to the Sweet 16 they traveled to California and Colorado. I’ve been getting text messages (from former Kentlake coaches), saying ‘Good luck. We’ll be watching in you.’ Even people from my high school graduating class have been texting me. It’s been really awesome.� And even though it was hard at first to go to different universities, Miccile said, she and her brother
now open in maple valley
have adjusted. “He was between UW, Gonzaga and even Western,� Miccile said. “He got this big envelope from UW and he said, ‘I have to go.’ He comes to a lot of the games with my parents. He is a big support system. He texts me all the time. He is one of my best friends.� Andrew and her dad, Paul, also trade off giving her pep talks. Miccile said her father sends her video clips from inspirational sports movies and quotes them frequently. She loves it, though, and even her teammates ask if her parents are coming to the games. The Vikings women’s
soccer program has become an extension of the Miccile family in a sense. And while she may be away from Kentlake, Miccile has not forgotten the lessons she learned there. “Just being able to play with a team,â€? Miccile said. “I know for high school you had to put up with a lot of different people, a lot of different attitudes ‌ but they’re friends also. I think it really helped figure out how to interact with teammates, I guess, and play with different types of competition. Kentlake was a place that had a lot of community-oriented people, everybody loved being a Falcon.â€?
Before the semi-final match, Miccile said, the Vikings seemed to be clicking. She was enjoying the experience and she knew there was much to take away from it, win or lose. “It’s a big stepping stone,â€? Miccile said. “I think it will help for next year. If it doesn’t turn out the way we want ‌ we’ll just have another goal for our board. This has been the most beneficial and awesome year.â€? And the sticky notes on that poster board in the locker room next fall will likely say, ‘Get to the national championship game,’ and Miccile will be ready to help make it happen.

How Rates Are Established Starting in May of each year, Covington Water District engages in one of its key financial activities – the preparation, evaluation, and adoption of the subsequent year operating and capital budget. A center point of the budget process is determination of water service rates. Rate setting contemplates a number of broad expense categories. The cost of service, or more simply put those outlays necessary to deliver safe, reliable water to our customers 24/7/365, figure prominently in rate development. Cost of service includes, but is not limited to operational expenses such as water system maintenance, water quality testing, treatment, security monitoring, customer response and billing, technology support and engineering services, in addition to capital reinvestment and development, and debt repayment.

2014 Water Rates
Maintaining Tanks
On October 2, 2013, the Board of Water Commissioners approved a 4.25% revenue increase which becomes effective beginning with the January 3, 2014 billing cycle. The revenue requirement is necessary to meet maintenance, operations, capital, and debt service needs for the upcoming year. The revenue requirement is achieved through an increase to both the flat rate meter charge and Block 1 consumption. For a typical single-family residence with a 5/8” meter, the increase for the 2-month bill is $3.80. The 2014 rate schedule may be accessed on the District’s website at covingtonwater.com.

Winter Storm Preparedness A little preparation now can save a lot of discomfort or expensive repairs later. Here are some things to consider: • Store extra food, water and any necessary medications to be independent for at least 3 days. • Plan for power outages. Have a way of lighting and heating your home that does not rely on electricity. Do not burn charcoal or use a generator indoors. • Winterize your vehicle with anti-freeze. • Winterize your house. • Drain/blow out irrigation system, insulate exposed pipes and faucets to prevent freezing.
Valves/Asphalt Paving (After)
• Know where your Master Meter Shutoff Valve is located. There are many resources available to assist you and your family in preparing for emergencies. You can find additional resources by calling King County, your local city, or visit the library. The following website Take Winter by Storm at www.TakeWinterByStorm.org offers detailed information.
