Water damage displaces six classes
YarrowBay breaks ground on The Villages

Water gushed into classrooms from a broken sprinkler system pipe at Shadow Lake Elementary School on the morning of Dec. 8, flooding six classrooms. The unusually cold weather caused the pipe to freeze and a sprinkler head in one of the classrooms broke and fell from the ceiling, sending water pouring into a classroom in Unit C and spreading throughout that building. District Spokesman Kevin Patterson said that the school’s alarm system went off and the fire department responded. Patterson added that the ironic part is that the district’s maintenance staff had checked all of the buildings to make sure that the heat was on to try to avoid any problems, but sometimes things just happen.
Clearing and grading work began Dec. 10 on one of YarrowBay’s master planned developments in Black Diamond. Crews began work on The Villages Phase 1A, about a 93-acre area. The two master planned developments, The Villages and Lawson Hills, have been a focal point of contention and controversy in the city since 2009. In the November general election Dave Gordon won the mayor race with 68.55 percent of the vote defeating incumbent mayor Rebecca Olness. His platform was based on opposition to the YarrowBay development.

Coding isn’t as hard as you think. That was the message from Tahoma High computer science students and their teacher, Crystal Hess, last week during National Computer Science Education Week. “It’s more about using the concepts,� said Bobby Steffler, a senior at Tahoma High who is taking his second year of computer science at the school and is also the president of Programming Club. “Understanding that (the concepts) brings more order to your life.� As part of the week students and community members took part in the national Hour of Code, an effort to get people of all ages to spend one hour learning code and raising awareness of the importance of computer science. According to code.org, in the United State nine out of 10 high schools don’t offer computer programming
classes. Hess said that when she started teaching at Tahoma almost 10 years ago there was an intro to computer science course and she was a part of expanding the program from there. Tahoma now offers AP Computer Science and College Programming. Hess said that this year there are 70 students signed up for the AP course and eight in the second year College Programming course. “We basically just focused on getting people excited about the Hour of Code,� Hess said of her and her students’ efforts last week. Those efforts paid off, 190 community members signed up for the Hour of Code and as a result, Hess said that the program will receive $1,000 for classroom supplies. Also last weekend 20 Tahoma students participated in a programming contest at the University of Washington. “It (computer science) teaches critical thinking

Courtesy Photo and problem solving, and even if you aren’t going to be a coder for life, they’re good skills,� Hess said. Junior Abigail Atchison, who is taking College Programming this year, said that she originally signed up for a computer science class because she thought it looked interesting and she discovered that she really enjoyed it. “It’s like solving a bunch
of different puzzles,� Atchison said. “A lot of people think it’s just gaming, but it has a lot more applications than that. Any field you can think of it applies to.� Senior Gabe Thompson said that one of the things he enjoys about what he is learning in the AP class is that he gets to see the real world implications and applications for what he is learning.
“I do a lot of robotics,� Thompson said. He explained that does coding related to the robots. “It’s easy. You don’t have to be a genius to do it.� For Steffler it’s the challenge in creating. “Seeing the output on the screen — there’s something intrinsically interesting about seeing what you do appear on the screen, or, worse, not,� Steffler said.

Olness to veto city’s 2014 budget BY DENNIS BOX
dbox@maplevalleyreporter.com
KENT SCHOOLS TECH EXPO JAN. 14 Kent School District’s annual Technology Expo will be at the ShoWare Center from 6-8:30 p.m. on Jan. 14. At the event, students and teachers will demonstrate technology in use, speak about what they have learned, and ask attendees to get involved. This event also highlights local businesses and organizations that support the use of technology in education. These business sponsors and exhibitors help demonstrate the connection between classrooms and careers.
What was to be the final Black Diamond City Council meeting of the year Dec. 12 took a surprising turn when Mayor Rebecca Olness announced she planned to veto the 2014 budget. By vetoing the ordinance, another meeting must be convened to consider either amending or overriding the mayor’s veto. A meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Dec. 27. At that meeting the council may either override the veto or consider a different budget ordinance. The mayor has 10 days to send a written notification of the budget veto to the council. According to state law the council must pass a balanced budget by Dec. 31. The mayor stated Dec. 13 by phone she would veto the budget because it was “unreasonable, especially with the cuts to IT (internet technology) and facilities coordinator position.” The budget items Olness
referred to cut the position for information technology manger, Chip Hanson, and cut the salary of the facilities coordinator, Kevin Esping, by $13,000. According to Olness, the administration presented a balanced budget to the council Oct. 10 that included, “some difficult decisions to make with YarrowBay reductions and decreasing revenues in some areas.” She cited the top priorities as, “What is best for the city (and to) try to be fair, equitable and cause the least amount of damage to both people and their department.” Councilwoman Janie Edelman said by email Dec. 13 in response to the veto that the council has, “held five work studies since Aug. 15, the last on Dec. 5. We also held two public hearings for citizen input. This was in addition to the numerous finance committee meetings where the budget was discussed.” Edelman said cuts were necessary due to funding
LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE VISITS THE STATE CAPITOL Members of the Leadership Institute of South Puget Sound visited the Washington State Capitol in Olympia as guests of Sen. Joe Fain last week. The group toured the capitol campus, heard from leaders and elected officials from state agencies, and got a first-
cuts by YarrowBay. “It was decided to contract out the IT activities,” Edelman wrote. “This reduction meant other cuts previously planned could be reinstated. This was not surprising to anyone. The surprise was when the mayor announced her intention to veto the budget.” Two of the reinstatements included the positions of natural resources-parks director and finance director. The mayor’s budget reduced the positions to 32 hours per week and the council budget kept the positions at 100 percent. The council budget also increases the city administrator position to five days a week. Councilwoman Carol Benson wrote in an email Dec. 13, “At the last work study on Dec. 5, the city administrator asked if we wanted a 30-90 day transition with Chip (Hanson) and we all agreed that we did not. May (Miller, finance director) had prepared the final budget with-
out Chip and the mayor did not make any objections at that time. May was not aware that the mayor intended to veto the budget based on the IT issue. I did not know the mayor had an issue either.” Olness wrote in an email that she read the following statement into the record at the council meeting, “I do not plan on signing this ordinance, but rather, intend to veto it … So, within 10 days, I will notify council in writing of my intent to veto the ordinance. In the meantime, hopefully we will be able to discuss and negotiate a compromise that is mutually acceptable. I would also like to revisit the Planning Commission appointments. As you know, we followed to the letter the new guidelines approved by Ordinance No. 12-981 on Oct. 4, 2012. No. 2 of 9 procedures states that, ‘it is the goal of the appointment process to maintain a full seven-member commission. No more than one meeting should elapse
without a vacancy being filled.’ With the first meeting slated for Jan. 7, this does not seem possible.” Edelman said she expects the veto to be overturned by the council. Mayor-elect Dave Gordon wrote in a email regarding the budget veto, “The council’s decision on the budget should be respected. A veto should be reserved for major issues that significantly affect the functioning of the city. This is another example of a breakdown between the council and mayor. Talk early, talk often, and resolve differences one by one … that is the way to put together a budget. My new administration will learn from this episode and work hard to collaborate with each council member.”

Although it has nothing to do with your heart, heartburn can cause all kinds of heartache for people who think that they won’t be able to eat their favorite foods any more. Sadly, they may be right. Heartburn may seem like just a harmless but uncomfortable condition to suffer through in order to enjoy that extra-large cup of coffee or saucy pasta dish. If the condition rears its fiery head only on occasion, then grinning and bearing it or at least popping an antacid might be fine. However, frequent heartburn can lead to more serious problems, so it’s vital to talk to your healthcare provider in order to come up with a lifestyle management plan that will cool the burn. Try keeping a journal to track the foods that cause you to experience heartburn. For most people, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs that neutralize stomach acid are the first line of defense against heartburn. Antacids come in tablet, liquid, or foam. You may choose from regular or extra-strength formulations. If you have high blood pressure or are on a sodium-restricted diet, you should not take antacids containing sodium bicarbonate because of their high sodium content. To schedule an appointment at Southlake Clinic, please call (253) 395-1972. Our Covington clinic is located at 27005 168th Place SE. Our primary care providers are supported by a network of multispecialty physicians and services. And we are open on Saturdays. 932821

O D I D Y O U K N O W ? : During the Christmas season Sleeping Beauty’s Castle is blanketed with snow and lit up with over 80,000 LED lights.
Disneylanding at Christmas Staff Writer Katherine Smith
Christmas and Disneyland, two of my favorite things, and Disneyland at Christmas, well, lets just say it doesn’t get much better than that. I had the opportunity to journey to Disneyland this fall and I loved it as much as ever. My first trip to Disneyland during the holiday season came when I was a senior in high school and I was completely taken with the extra dose of magic sprinkled across the resort. One of the first things I did when I arrived in SoCal for college was purchase an annual pass, and part of my sophomore and junior years I was a cast member. You might say I’m a bit of a Disneyland fanatic. If you’re plans over the next few weeks include a stop at the happiest place on earth here’s a few tips: First, it is going to be busy so pack your patience. Expect and prepare for waiting in line and big crowds, you’ll be thankful you did later. Two fun things you can do that are fairly inexpensive are to purchase “Disneyland’s Hidden Mickeys,” either beforehand or at various stores around the resort, and embark on finding some more obscure touches left by imagineers around the park, and “Lots to do in line: Disneyland,” which is exactly what it sounds like – games and scavenger hunts tailored to different queues. Making a game out of the waiting makes it go by a lot faster. Don’t forget to check the weather forecast for Anaheim before you leave. Yes, it’s Southern California, but it still can rain and it gets cooler in the evening. Disneylanding in the rain can be fun if you’re prepared for it (been there), but it also can turn cold and much less fun if you aren’t (been there, too). Alternately, if the weather report calls for gorgeous, sunny skies, don’t forget the sunscreen. If meeting the characters are your kids’ thing, what approach to take depends on who you’re looking for. Yes, you can meet Mickey and Minnie and some other characters in Toontown, but they also hang out in Town Square, right after you go through the entrance tunnel after entering the park, throughout the day. Usually you’ll find Mickey and Minnie to the right, near Mad Hatter and the Main Street Opera House and Goofy and Donald tend to make an appearance by the Fire Station on your left. If it has been a while since your last visit, it’s worth noting that princesses are rarely out as stand alone meet and greets. Princess Fantasy Faire is their new home, located to the left of the castle as you approach from Main Street. As a side note, if you’re looking for a specific character, ask a cast member. They should have a handy guide with all the info.

Be sure to check out the traditional holiday overlays on Haunted Mansion and It’s a Small World. The line for It’s a Small World will look frightfully long, but it moves often enough and there is a neat light and music show played on the facade at night as well as all the lights to look at - see what world landmarks you can find represented in the facade. New this year is the Jingle Cruise, an overlay and new jokes at the Jungle Cruise. As a former skipper I was rather skeptical of this one, but I hear it’s actually not bad. Now, lets take a minute to talk about fastpasses. In short: they’re free, use ‘em. Essentially a fastpass is a ticket you get at a participating attraction that holds your place in line while you go do something else and return within a one hour window. Depending on what the return time is, you either are eligible to get a new fastpass when your current fastpass window opens or after two hours, whichever comes first. One of the worst kept secrets in the park for a long time was that you didn’t have to return within the window printed on your ticket, just as long as you came back the same day any time after the opening of the window. This, however, was changed this fall and now guests are required to return within the actual window. Another option if you have small kids in your party who either are too short for some rides or scared of them is for the adults to use the single rider or rider switch programs. For single rider you ask a cast member at the participating attraction (they’re marked on the map) for a single rider pass and they’ll direct you where to go. Basically, they’ll put you in an empty seat in a row and you get to skip most if not all of the line, but don’t get to ride with anyone you know. For rider switch you ask the cast member for a rider switch pass and then one adult waits in the line and after they have ridden the other adult can use the pass to ride via the fastpass return entrance.
If you have someone in your party with special needs and it has been a while since you have been to the park I highly recommend reading up on changes to the guest assistance program on a fan site like Miceage or MicePlanet so you have the lay of the new system before you head down. If you want to catch one of the entertainment offerings - parades, World of Color, fireworks, etc. - all of which will be doing holiday shows, give yourself plenty of time and show up early, whatever you do, don’t try to show up at the last minute. My personal all-time favorite Christmas bit of magic at Disneyland are the snow moments. They aren’t on the published entertainment schedule, but they’re amazing. The castle is lit up in stages throughout the evening with accompanying little five minute shows. The middle installment at 5:30 is my favorite. That’s when the castle is fully lit and it snows on Main Street, the whole nine yards. If you show up about 5:25 and position yourself half to three quarters of the way up Main Street you’ll have a perfect view. At first people will wonder why you’re standing in the middle of the street, but then the lights will go down and the Voice of Disneyland will make the announcement and everyone will stop in the street. One of my and my family’s favorite freebies at the resort is to get a button. At the guest relations podium by the wait time board at the top of Main Street the cast member is loaded down with buttons – first visit, happy birthday, happy anniversary, family reunion, honorary citizen, etc. If you go to California Adventure, be sure to visit Carsland, the new land is breathtaking and feels like walking into the movie. Also, try the Pear Soda at the Cozy Cones. I know, it sounds crazy, but it’s oddly delicious. At the end of the day remember that you’re at Disneyland and have fun taking in all the little holiday touches and decorations and enjoy the magic that Disney employs so well.

[ LETTERS from page 4] us. Over 600 Nativities from all over the world, some hand made, of every imaginable material from banana leaves to metal, were artfully displayed on 10 tables or more. To say the displays were breathtaking would be an understatement. Also included was a live Nativity with a one month old baby. While we were there we also enjoyed the music of the children’s choir singing Christmas carols. I quietly sang along. If you have never seen the display I would encourage you to put a tickler on your Christmas ‘to-do’ list for next year. I’m betting the hours will be the same, 2-9 p.m. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Look for it next year and fill in the appropriate dates. Trust me, once you have seen the displays you will want to encourage others to come. See it early enough so you can round up family and friends to take. They will appreciate it and you will be able to enjoy it a second time. It truly is one of the treasures of Maple Valley and shouldn’t be missed. Thanks again to all those people who organized this wonderful Nativity display and made it available to the entire community. I can hardly wait for next Christmas. Merry Christmas to all.

On Mother’s Day when you do not buy a gift for your wife, but you do buy a gift for your mother and grandmother, do not respond to your wife by saying, “Well, honey bunny, you are not my mother.� During the Mother’s Day season there is a severe shortage of eggnog, which means the 151 rum
Covington city employees were paid close to or more than employees of seven target cities. Although this is to the employees benefit, it may not be the best outcome for the taxpayers. A quick look at the information presented in the survey shows that Covington spends a lot more money in the Human Resources department than most of the target cities. Most of the target cities do not have both a HR Director and HR Analyst. Covington does have both a HR Director and a HR Analyst. The total of wages and benefits for these two positions is over $200,000 a year. Considering the size of Covington, this does seem like too much money spent for this service. Especially since it is considerably more than the other cities in the survey.

[ VILLAGES from page 1] phase of the project includes plans for 378 single family homes, 395 multi-family units, nine townhouses, 190,000 square feet of commercial space, parks and a site where an elementary school could be built in the future. The clearing and grading permit for the project was issued by the city in July. It was appealed and Phil Olbrechts, the city’s hearing examiner, denied the appeal Oct. 7. “This is not an optimal time of year (to start), but this is a 20-year project,” Ross said. “It has been 20 years in the planning and (it will be) 20 years in the execution. There is no perfect time to start.” A Land Use Petition Act appeal filed by Toward Responsible Development is still pending on the Villages and Lawson Hills master planned development before the state Court of Appeals. The appeal was denied by King County Superior Court Judge Patrick Oishi Aug. 27, 2012, and Toward Responsible Development filed with the Court of Appeals for review of the lower court’s decision. Ross said it will take a couple of years to get the phase 1A project ready with infrastructure improvements. He said YarrowBay will take an incremental approach, working on the clearing and grading while the engineering work is completed on the roads as an example. Ross said once the appeal is completed “(we will) convey

the elementary school site to the Enumclaw School District.”
RESPONSES The two master planned developments call for more than 6,000 homes, which when complete could increase the current population of about 4,100 in Black Diamond to more than 20,000. It also plans for light industrial, commercial, retail space, parks, trails and schools. The beginning of the project brought pointed comments from both sides of the fence. “The MPDs for both The Villages and Lawson Hills were approved in September 2010, and the Development Agreements in December 2011,” Olness wrote in an email Dec. 12. “Since then, YarrowBay has had a legal right to proceed with their projects. Delays have been caused by the many lawsuits filed by Toward Responsible Development, whose membership included both previous and current members of the Black Diamond City Council. The city and YarrowBay have prevailed in all of these court proceedings. “The Clearing and Grading Permit for The Villages Phase 1/A was issued in July 2013. That too, was appealed, this time by persons known to be affiliated with Save Black Diamond. After a hearing conducted by the hearing examiner (at city expense) the appeal was denied. City staff has worked hard to ensure that the MPD conditions of approval and the development agreements, as approved by council are adhered to. YarrowBay has complied with these conditions and has every right to start their project. The

Washington to do the repair work. The district has used both companies previously. “If it’s under a certain dollar amount or an emergency you don’t have to go out for a bid,” Patterson said. The first priority was to get the water out of the building, assess the damage, and begin the drying process. The carpet in the classrooms needs to be replaced and classroom cabinets were pulled away from the walls and the bottom few feet of the drywall was cut away to allow the inside of the walls to dry. Various classroom materials were also damaged, and the district’s technology staff have submitted a list of electronics items to be assessed by RestorX. The classrooms contained computers and three of the classrooms had Activboards, the status of which are not yet known. The total cost for the repairs is unknown at this point. “We won’t know, really, until it’s done, but it’s going to be expensive,” Patterson said. Patterson said that the majority of the repairs will be covered by the district’s insurance. In one of the classrooms the insurance company deemed that not enough of the carpet got wet that it required replacement, but the district has decided to have that carpet replaced and will foot the bill for that, Patterson explained. The work to repair the rooms started right away and will continue during the winter break which begins Friday. Patterson said they are hopeful that students will be able to return to their classrooms when school resumes Jan. 6. “The good thing is how well they (students, teachers, and staff) have adapted,” Patterson said. Elsewhere in the district Patterson described the band room at Cedar River Middle School as “soaked”, there was some water damage to a girls bathroom at Lake Wilderness Elementary, and a pipe froze and split in a science classroom at Tahoma High causing minimal damage.

city has a legal obligation to process their permit application in accordance with city code.” Gordon wrote in an email the evening of Dec. 11 concerning the beginning of the project, “I am disappointed that this lame duck administration is still trying to rush its agenda through. The residents, City Council and I are studying our options. It appears that the outgoing mayor and the developer pressured city staff to issue this permit in order to evade the thorough review and tough standards that I will insist upon. I am hopeful that concerned residents will contact me.” Olness responded to that comment in a follow up email. “The city would be in violation of code if a permit was held up,” Olness wrote. “Every property owner has the right to have their permit application processed in a timely manner. If the city does not comply, the applicant can take legal action, which puts the city at risk.” Gordon responded via email to Olness’ statement that, “We respectfully disagree with Mayor Olness.” Bob Edelman, one of the founding members of Toward Responsible Development wrote in an email Dec. 12, “YarrowBay told the Court of Appeals that delays could cause them to miss the dry construction season. Now they are rushing to complete as much as they can before the court makes its decision, even if it means clearing and grading in the mud. Clearing 7,000 trees off of 95 acres and flattening the landscape doesn’t fit their promise of a “rural by design” development that blends with the environment.”

Blair said. “They are a group of volunteers that do this allowing to give 100 percent back.â€? That made it easy for Blair to team up with Benson-Gillies to develop a bracelet that could be sold to benefit both organizations. This partnership also allows Blair to help Benson-Gillies make a difference in the best way she can. “Before I was diagnoses with breast cancer, I was going to go to Uganda,â€? Blair said. “Breast cancer did not allow me to do that with my own diagnosis but I admire what Suzy is doing. She totally gives all of herself and that’s amazing. To find an organization like that is virtually unheard of.â€? And Benson-Gillies noted that Blair’s mission is even more personal now that she knows one of the women she works with in Uganda was diagnosed with breast cancer this year. Blair knew immediately it would be a good partnership. And it made sense to take the bracelet WOK offered but to take it to another level. The bracelet features pink paper beads with a medallion in the center which features the WOK crane symbol cut out. The pair will start by selling 600, the first batch, locally as they work to help the process grow in Uganda. “Once this bracelet takes off our plan is to travel to Uganda to set up the infrastructure to mass produce this
Community News and Notes KING COUNTY NAMES LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES FOR 2014 The Metropolitan King County Council gave its support to a state legislative agenda that seeks to restore funding for vital human service programs. The council also continues to call on the Legislature for local revenue options that will provide the financing needed to maintain vital transportation infrastructure. Each year King County develops a state legislative agenda with the council and the county executive working together to decide on the positions that are most important to bring to the attention of the state Legislature. For 2014, the county stresses the economic impact King County has on the state of Washington. The agenda states that reductions in funding and policy changes on both a state and federal level have had an impact on how the county can deliver services to its residents and that the county must be given the ability to prioritize critical regional needs. For 2014, the state legislative agenda will include supporting the safety net, delivering on transportation and achieving growth management goals, and investing in community assets.
bracelet and to tell the story,� Benson-Gillies said. “These people are the most humble, the most wonderful people and they do not have access to healthcare.� Blair said this first batch of bracelet sales lays the groundwork for a bigger vision which will take time to realize. “That’s why we need to go to Uganda and solidify the production of it,� Blair said. “And really help the women there and the women here. So, it’s a promise with wings bracelet.� Benson-Gillies explained there are multiple benefits achieved with each bracelet sold. “It’s really fourfold: the recipient gets a beautiful gift,� Benson-Gillies said. “The money stays here, third the women in Uganda have income to lift themselves out of poverty and fourth is part of the proceeds put kids in school.� A bracelet with a promise lifted by wings. “I want people to feel like when they are purchasing a bracelet, because that’s what it is, that they’re giving back to both of our foundations.

...HEALTHY LIVING
How to be prepared for a fitness resolution That time of year is once again upon us where the new year provides a fresh start in achieving those fitness goals that have proven to be so elusive in years past. There is a group of people who, every year around this time, end up in either my office or the orthopedist’s office. These are the people who, in spite of doing no physical activity all spring, summer, or fall, run to their local gym and try to make up for their inactivity in their first two hour workout. One can guess the common results: injury, overexertion, chest pain, and a baffled realization that perhaps we aren’t all as young as we once were. As we get older the body naturally has a decrease in its aerobic performance because there is a decrease
in oxygen intake and a decrease in the heart’s ability to pump blood. A wellconditioned athlete can stay in shape and continue to exercise but it gets more difficult with age. Studies show that muscle strength peaks at 25 years old, plateaus at 35 to 40, and by 65 years old, there is a 25 percent loss of peak muscle strength. The takeaway being that our memory of what we can expect from our body can be extremely deceptive when it has been years since we were truly active. Starting slow will allow the body to provide the appropriate feedback needed to avoid injury. The good news is that physical exercise is a perpetual war against aging! However, when starting to exercise, it is critical to get your body back into shape, and reteach it what to do. The best way to do this is to monitor your heart rate
when you exercise. Many gym machines have heart rate monitors on them, or you can buy a heart rate monitor and strap it on before you exercise. You will be able to read your rate on a watch. Here’s how to find what yours should be: 1. Subtract your age from 220 for a maximum heart rate. For example, if you are 40 years old, your maximum heart rate is 180 beats per minute, or BPM. 2. If you are just beginning to exercise again after a little break — or a long break! — begin training at 65 percent of your target heart rate. In our example, that would give us a rate of 117 BPM, which is 65 percent of 180. 3. As you get in better shape, gradually work to achieve a higher heart rate, until you are working at 85 percent of your maximum. In our example, this would be 153 BPM. When you can
sustain this for a 30 minute exercise session, you are officially back in shape. It’s recommended that one seek the advice of a medical professional before starting any exercise program and for good reason. Nothing is going to put your newly affirmed exercise goals on ice quicker than a heart attack. In addition, there are medical fitness facilities in your community that can provide the plan that is needed for success. Armed with the right information, your fitness goals are closer to being attained than you might think! Good luck!

A gardener’s twist on ‘T’was the night before Christmas’ tradition, anyone that wants to can reprint this column without my permission or copyright restrictions. T’was the week before Christmas, and all through the yard, not a gift was given, not even a card. The tools were all hung, in the carport with care, with hopes that St. Nicholas soon would repair, The shovel with blade all rusty and cracked, the pitchfork still shiny, but Marianne Binetti
The Compleat Home Gardener
One Christmas, years ago and home with small children, I penned this poem as a tribute to Santa at Christmas. After more than 30 years writing a garden column it still remains the most requested reprint of any other column. So thanks to the garden clubs, nurseries and green thumb friends that pass it on year after year, and the newspapers that continue to print a local garden column. As is my
handle it lacked. When out on my lawn, (it’s brown and abused) I could see poor old Santa, looking confused. No list had been left for Santa to see, no gardening gifts were under the tree. But wait there’s still time, it’s not Christmas yet, and gardening gifts are the quickest to get. You can forget the silk tie, the fluffy new sweater, give something to make the garden grow better. If she wants a gift shiny, then don’t be a fool, it’s not a dumb diamond, but a sparkling new tool.
What’s blooming at Lake Wilderness Arboretum The Lake Wilderness Arboretum Foundation is getting ready to launch its popular Student Art Contest for 2014. Beginning in January, children can express their artistic talents and help build awareness about Maple Valley’s Lake Wilderness Arboretum. Contestants are asked to interpret the 2014 contest theme, “My Favorite Part of the Arboretum,” by creating original artwork and entering it into the contest.
We are a knowledgeable, dependable, caring, and cooperative Team committed to honesty, ethics and forward thinking.
If fragrance is listed you can forget French perfume, it’s a pile of manure that’ll make gardeners swoon. Give night crawlers, not nightgowns, the type of hose that gives water. (Anything for the kitchen is not worth the bother.) Give a great gift that digs in the dirt, it’s better than any designer-brand shirt. Now look quick at Santa, this guy’s not so dumb, Under his glove, he hides a green thumb. His knees are so dirty, his back how it aches, his boots stomp on slugs, (he gives them no breaks).
Santa only works winter, you can surely see why, The rest of the year it’s a gardening high. Elves plant in the spring, pull weeds merrily all summer, in fall they all harvest, but winter’s a bummer. And so Christmas gives Santa a part-time employment, ‘Till spring when the blooms are his real life enjoyment. So ask the big guy for garden gifts this year, Seeds, plants and tools, Santa holds them all dear. You see malls may be crowded, vendors hawking their ware, but visit a nurs-
ery, stress-free shopping is there. Now Santa’s flown off, to the nursery he goes, and his voice fills the night with loud Hoe! Hoe! Hoes! Merry Christmas from Marianne Binetti.
For book requests or answers to gardening questions, write to Marianne Binetti at: P.O. Box 872, Enumclaw, 98022. For more visit www.binettigarden.com.
Judges will choose the winners who compete for prizes, and the winning artwork is featured on a special poster for the Arboretum, which is distributed throughout the year. The Foundation will provide more information about the 2014 student art contest in the next couple of weeks. Visit the new website at www.LakeWildernessArboretum.org for complete contest guidelines, prize information, and entry forms in early January.

New gymnastics coaches familiar faces
SEAHAWKS VISIT BLACK DIAMOND ELEMENTARY Black Diamond Elementary was one of 34 schools selected by NFL PLAY 60 from across the country as Super School Contest winners which earned the school a $10,000 grant for health and wellness programming or equipment as well as a visit from Seattle Seahawks players Dec. 10. Seahawks Deshawn Shead, Chandler Fenner, Brian Walters and Phil Bates, joined by Sea Gals Tamaria and Zoe, rushed by high-fiving students as they made their way into the school for the health and wellness assembly of a lifetime. The players, cheerleaders and Seahawks mascot Blitz spent two hours at the school.
BY ALEXANDRA BOLTON
For the Reporter
Kentlake’s gymnastics program has a pair of new faces in co-coaches Lindsey Duerre and Sheila Clark who replaced Marla Boyd. “Big shoes to fill,” Duerre said. “A lot of the girls have been with her for four years, so they had a really strong connection with her. But she left a pretty good legacy of expectations for the girls and for the school, really good equipment, so a really solid foundation to be able to walk into. She definitely made sure, even though she knew she was going to be leaving, that she left it in the best way that she could.” Duerre previously coached at Kentwood and Evergreen High School, while Clark coached at Roach Gymnastics for eight years and has also judged. Lacking any personal history, the two coaches have nonetheless been aware of each other due to their extensive history within the gymnastics community. “The industry is pretty small,” Duerre said. “Either our girls have competed for or with or against each other, so we’ve seen each other around for a long time.”
Kentlake’s Ashley Pernell performs on the bars during a meet with Auburn Mountainview earlier this month. Pernell returned to the Falcons team which has two new co-coaches this year. RACHEL CIAMPI, The Reporter Both Duerre and Clark have coached their girls, now sophomore gymnasts for Kentlake, since they were little. “She’s been my coach for as long as I’ve done it,” said Avalyne Peters of her mother, Clark. “Even when she wasn’t technically my
coach for the class, I would end up looking in the bleachers and having her tell me what I should do, how I could perfect it. She’s been my coach forever.” Peters typically competes in all-around, but is currently sidelined with an injury.
Tahlia Duerre is one of the Falcon’s top seven gymnasts and is similarly accustomed to following her mother’s expertise. In addition to the potential difficulties of changing leadership, the nature of gymnastics itself poses its own challenges for the Fal-
cons upcoming season. “This is a hard sport to take nine months off and then come in and pick back up where you left off,” Duerre said. “And a lot of the girls, within this first… less than a month, have gotten themselves back up to where they were before.” Duerre also recognizes this difficulty as part of the reward. “Gymnastics is very much an individual sport, so when you have a big success, it’s something that you have worked really hard to get,” Duerre said. “As much as their team and their team score counts, their individual successes and growth is really important. Being in high school and having success and confidence, and to see growth and be successful and be on the team, it’s kind of like a life skill that they will probably take with them.” One key component of team growth in Duerre’s mind will be the junior varsity team, which was added this year, and its level of commitment. Conditioning has also been more intense, something both coaches and gymnasts grudgingly admitted as a benefit. “I hope to see us come [ more GYMNASTICS page 19 ]

State placers return for Tahoma, Kentwood and Kentlake BY KRIS HILL khill@covingtonreporter.com
There are a number of story lines in the South Puget Sound League North when it comes to wrestling. Tahoma, the reigning league dual meet champion for more for the better part of the past decade, appears to be in a rebuilding year. Kentwood’s Meyers brothers, Dalton and Walker, will look to continue the family tradition of bringing home medals from state. Kentlake juniors Nick Smith and Josh Beckler should set the standard for Falcons this season.
BEARS RELOAD, NOT REBUILD Tahoma senior Justin Weiding, who will wrestle at 145 during the regular season, is among a group of seniors who will step into leadership roles this season for the first time, something that will be important in helping the Bears prove their doubters wrong. “A lot of people are saying this is going to be a rebuilding year,” Weiding
said. “But, it’s not, because we have so many freshmen and sophomores. It’s always a fight to make JV and varsity because we have guys at so many weights. A lot of people thought that this year we aren’t going to be very good. But, we beat one of the top five teams in state. It’s going to surprise people how well we’re going to do.” That depth was key in Tahoma’s state performances in the past, particularly its last 4A championship in 2012, when 15 wrestlers competed at Mat Classic at the Tacoma Dome. Senior Cruz Velasquez, who will compete in the 132 pound weight class during the regular season, explained that while Tahoma graduated some excellent competitors in Garret Autrey, Matt Hopkins and Tim Whitehead, just to name a few examples, that the program is good enough to move forward and fill in those slots. “We’re in a really good spot because people doubt us,” Velasquez said. “But we’re bringing up JV guys
who are beating other Velasquez said. teams’ varsity guys. We’re a Weiding said opponents tough team. We go to tough may not be ready for Cootournaments like TriState per Thomas, who is moving and Hammerhead.” up from JV to wrestle at Weiding noted that the 195 pounds. culture of the program is “He was over 300 pounds a key element of Tahoma’s two years ago,” Weiding success, as well. said. “Now he’s at 195. I “The camaraderie we all think he’s going to surprise have,” Weiding said. “We a lot of people.

He is particularly members of the team. impressed with the newest “Probably the biggest wrestlers. thing I’ve learned is to “We’ve got a lot of freshbasically be relaxed and men who’ve come in and not worry about who you can bang with the seniors,” wrestle,” Velasquez said.
PREVIEW
“It’s technique. And mindset. Wrestle like it’s your last match. Wrestle like it’s the state final.” During the coming weeks, Velasquez expects Tahoma to have a shot at going for another state title, which will be a battle with Lake Stevens. In February Tahoma finished second at state to Lake Stevens. “We, as a team, want to be a state championship team,” Velasquez said. “We’re in it to win it. We’re climbing up there but we’re not quite there yet. We have a ton of potential.”
KENTLAKE READY TO CHALLENGE Jeremy Williams, the head coach for Kentlake, wrote in an email interview that the Falcons are ready to challenge for the top of the SPSL North mountain. “This year I feel that Kentlake can take a big step forward in wrestling,” Williams wrote. “Our real goal now is to get to that point where we are the best team in the league. Individually, we have two returning state placers as well as a return-
ing state participant. Add into that mix three others with legitimate state placing potential and our team becomes pretty dangerous come post-season.” At Mat Classic in February, Beckler finished eighth in the 145 pound weight class, while Smith took home sixth place at 106 pounds. Williams wrote that thus far, what has surprised him most are the freshmen wrestlers who are highly competitive, with three or four who are ready to contribute to the varsity team now and are doing well. Williams is confident about the team’s potential this season. “Our teams biggest strength is our positive, hard-working attitude,” Williams wrote. “Everything we are doing now is in preparation for February. Up until then, win or lose, this is all practice for us.”
