The Metropolitan King County Council authorized funding to complete phase two of the Ravensdale Park project on Monday night, with hopes that the new ballfields, parking lot and concession stands will be ready by August. The council Reagan Dunn gave unanimous approval to a use agreement between King County and the Ravensdale Park Foundation, clearing the way for construction of two synthetic ballfields and all related infrastructure at Ravensdale Park, which is located at Southeast Kent-Kangley Road and 272nd Avenue South. “This is really the last piece

Students giving hope to victims of war in Uganda BY KATHERINE SMITH ksmith@maplevalleyreporter.com
Half a world away from the Ugandan bush Tahoma School District students are reaching into their pockets to help victims of war. For students at Tahoma Junior High, the idea of coming together to make a global impact came from participating in We Day Seattle last year. The event challenges students to start a movement of serving not only their community, but the global community as well. Northern Uganda is a region torn apart by civil war. For more than 20 years the country was
terrorized by Joseph Kony and the Lord’s Resistance Army in Africa’s longest war. Tens of thousands of children were reportedly kidnapped over the course of the conflict and forced to join the ranks of the rebels, serving as child soldiers. Many were made to murder their families, and young girls were taken as wives by rebel commanders. Warrants were issued for Kony and several other LRA leaders in 2005 by the International Criminal Court. Kony and the LRA reportedly left Uganda for neighboring countries in 2006. That same year the LRA signed a cessation of hostilities agreement, but ultimately failed to

sign a final peace accord in 2008. Those children who survived the conflict and returned to their homes often found there was nothing left — no family, no village, and no one who trusted them. Years before Joseph Kony’s name would go viral through a video campaign by the nonprofit organization Invisible Children, Suzy Benson Gillies found herself gripped by what she was learning about the land-locked country in East Africa. On a trip to Uganda, Benson Gillies met a man who was living in a camp for people who had been displaced by the war. He challenged her to tell Americans what was happening in his country. Benson Gillies promised him she would. It was a promise Benson Gillies took seriously. Upon her return to the states she founded African Promise Foundation. [ more UGANDA page 6 ]

Legislators discuss session at midpoint disappointed in and hopes for the rest of the session.
BY ERIC MANDEL emandel@covingtonreporter.com
Priorities are everywhere in today’s game of politics and passing bills with bipartisan support is as hard as ever. The 2014 Legislative Session hit a major cut-off date on Feb. 18, as non-budgetary policy bills that didn’t pass through either the state Senate or House of Representatives by 5 p.m. were dead for the year. Though, typically, no bills would have passed through both legislative chambers by this point, one did. The “Dream Act,” an immigration-financial aid measure that would expand college financial aid to include students who were brought to the state illegally as children, passed the House on the first day of the session and the senate responded with a similar bill weeks later. Gov. Jay Inslee is expected to sign the bill. The 60-day session ends March 13 and The Reporter asked the three House of Representatives in the 47th district and the two state senators in the 5th and 47th districts what they were most proud of thus far in the session, most
SEN. MARK MULLET, D-5TH
Proudest accomplishment Mullet spent most of his energy on a health care transparency bill that passed through the Senate. The bill requires insurance companies to provide “an easy to use transparency tool” on a website that would give information, such as cost of procedures, and would also include a feedback tool similar to the online review website Yelp. “We are getting run over by health care costs,” he said. “Health care inflation is going up faster than tax revenue. Until the health care sector becomes more efficient… like a regular market, I think the government is going to be broke.”
Biggest disappointment The inability to put together a quality transportation package. “There are a lot of Eastern Washington officials who have run on platforms saying they will never raise taxes, so we just can’t get it out of the Senate,” he said. “I get it, people in Yakima and Walla Walla don’t have traffic so they
don’t see why this is so important. But people in our district… I feel like everyone you talk to in the Puget Sound totally gets that traffic sucks and we need to do something.”
Hopes moving forward To put more money into the schools. He said there are two thought processes: waiting to move the extra money in the budget for schools until next year or distribute it now. “I’m hopeful that we’ll just do it before we leave in the next 20 days,” he said. “But that will take some work.”
SEN. JOE FAIN, R-47TH Proudest accomplishment The balanced budget. “As we go through some budget issues, at least we are in the black for the first time in a long time,” he said. “I think that’s something to be very proud of.” Fain said he was also proud of learning the ins and outs of DUI laws by working with prosecutors and state troopers and coming up with three bills, which the Senate has already passed along to the House. He said one bill gives prosecutors more flexibility on DUI prosecution and another that helps state agencies be better equipped to stop paying state food benefits to people in jail. “It’s designed to ensure we are preserving our state food assistance dollars for those who really need it,” he said. “Just making sure

we are using our resources more effectively.”
Biggest disappointment “It’s too early for disappointment because I think there is still time on the clock,” he said. However, Fain said that he would like to see progress on transportation reform, specifically considering issues with the Alaskan Way Viaduct and Bertha. “There are a lot of reasons that the Department of Transportation needs to embrace reform,” he said.
Hopes moving forward Continuing to develop higher education options in Covington. “We’ve had great success in higher ed — from keeping tuition flat to providing additional resources,” he said. “If we can continue to bring higher ed closer to Covington and closer to Southeast King County then that will be a real benefit.”
REP. CHAD MAGENDANZ, R-5TH Proudest accomplishment Behind the scenes work on a bill for student graduation requirements that would require an additional 24 credits for every student in the state before graduation. He said the bill is currently in the House Education Committee, where he is confident it will get support. “It’s something we’ve been working on for a long time,” he said. “It’s a tough pitch. Raising the standards on everybody makes it challenging across the board. We want to make
it so kids aren’t discouraged … We’ve spent a lot of time trying to figure out the appropriate amount of flexibility and rigor. And I think we got it.”
Biggest disappointment Receiving bipartisan support for an “Economic Success Metrics for Higher Education” program bill, only to have it pulled by the committee chair. The bill would have featured a website where parents and students could find the value of various higher education degrees, such as expected starting salaries, wage growth and expenses. He said the chairperson thought the metrics might make the traditional liberal arts colleges look less appealing. “It’s frustrating when you know you have the votes to get it out of committee but the chair won’t let it come to a vote,” he said.
Hopes moving forward He’s been appointed to the governor’s work group on the McCleary ruling, which found that Washington state is not amply funding basic education. The group has started meeting and must decide how to comply with the court order and how to achieve results. “It’s not going to be easy; we are going to have very meaty discussions on levy reform and compensation reform,” he said. “We’re basically running into what we know will be a very difficult discussion, but we’ve got motivation to fix it.” [ more SESSION page 15 ]

Black Diamond council opposed to TBD tax bump
LOCAL
COVINGTON MAPLE VALLEY
AREA COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 3 The next Greater Maple Valley Unincorporated Area Council monthly meeting is scheduled for 7-9 p.m. on Monday, March 3 at the Maple Valley Fire Station. Topics to be discussed are the Puget Sound Regional Council’s Transportation 2040 Plan and King County Regional Stormwater Retention Facilities. Members of the public are invited to attend and can address the council on any local issue during a public comment period.

Although King County voters will ultimately decide whether there will be a .01 percent sales tax bump and a new annual vehicle fee, the Black Diamond City Council may offer its own two cents on the matter. Not that they think it will make much of a difference. “It’s not going to sway King County to pull (the vote),” Councilwoman Tamie Deady told The Reporter. “I don’t think Black Diamond has that much power to persuade them.” The City Council unanimously agreed to draft a letter that opposes the proposed funding sources for a countywide Transportation Benefit District at its Feb. 20 meeting. The council was expected to vote on whether or not to send the letter after press deadline at
its meeting Thursday. The council received limited, mixed reaction during a public hearing on the subject Feb. 20. A Bellevue, Wash. resident with family in Black Diamond supported the measure, calling it a worthwhile investment. Black Diamond resident Robin Taylor disagreed, asking the city to urge the county against moving forward. “This is piling on,” she said. “This is faulty legislation that needs to be re-worked.” King County Council adopted an ordinance to form a Transportation Benefit District on Feb. 10. The district has its own separate taxing authority. The TBD funds would go toward transportation improvements. In April, county voters will decide whether or not to add a $60 annual vehicle
fee and .01 percent sales tax increase to their tab. The combined revenue sources would generate approximately $130 million. Sixty percent of the revenues would go towards the Metro Transit, while the other 40 percent would be allocated based on population among the King County cities for road and transportation purposes. Without additional funding, Metro will need to reduce up to 17 percent of its service in 2014. King County estimates an average household impact of $11 per month from the proposed increases. City Administrator Christie Todd explained to the council that the group is under no obligation to take any formal action, and that any opposition or agreement with the funding sources would be generally regarded as a political

Organic mulches are made from all those tree branches, leaves, pine needles and bark that comes down during a winter storm. It also includes straw, grass clippings, compost, wood chips, sawdust and paper. If you’ve got large pieces to deal with, consider renting a shredder from the local hardware store to cut them down to size. Store your homemade mulch in a garbage can until you’re ready to use it. Organic mulching prevents the soil from freezing and thawing in winter and keeps it cool and moist in summer. Its slow decomposition releases nutrients into the soil and encouraging earthworm activity, too. For more on the arboretum go to lakewildernessarboretum.org.

Being pretty never felt better
I’d never listened to a podcast before getting this job. Now, it’s my commuting ritual. From Radiolab to How Stuff Works to Bill Simmons, my 45 minutes to and from Seattle is neatly organized with information and banter. This portion of my life sat neatly stored inside my car until a recent program on “Freakonomics” that dove into the topic of beauty. The show dissected the science behind how attractiveness relates to overall life success — money, job, crime, etc. The economists also discussed a website that would rate a picture of your face and give a score about your beauty. This, unfortunately, caught my attention. I didn’t recall the name of the specific site, but once home, I immediately typed “Face beauty calculator” into Google and found a site that seemed to fit the description: Anaface Beauty Analysis — Score your face. My girlfriend Laura quickly saw the pitfalls of this venture and warned me of the likeliness of a lose-lose scenario for my pessimistic-leaning mind. I agreed. Thus, when she walked into the kitchen I started the simple task of finding a picture of my face, uploading it to the site and placing numbered markers next to each curve on my oval head, as noted on the site. The podcast had described how the most attractive NFL quarterbacks are actually paid more than their counterparts and how Russell Wilson had more than a 99 rating. Even Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler rated as a 98-point-something. So, while I wasn’t expecting a 100, I was anticiStaff Writer Eric Mandel

pating a, well, I don’t know. I hadn’t thought this all the way through. Turns out the Anaface calculator gives ratings out of 10. So, although a single digit number was expected, when I clicked “NEXT” the number 5.7 was a bit surprising. “You’re a 10, Hunny,” said Laura, trying to both reassure me and sneakily close my laptop at the same time. I read over my issues: “Your face has poor horizontal symmetry…Your ears are too long for your nose…Your inner ocular distance is too small for your eyes… Your nose is too narrow for your face width…Your mouth is too wide for your nose.” A prouder man would have laughed off this unflattering setback and left it at that. I, apparently, am not that man. I blamed the picture. I took a new snapshot, with my face firmly filling the whole screen, uneven schnoz dead
center. I inputted the new photo, this time making sure to be more accurate on the placement of each marker. And by “accurate,” I mean hardly bothering to put each marker on each of my actual features as much as carefully lining each up equidistant from one another. Voila, 7.2. I knew it was the picture. Then again, that was still a C-minus in my inner-ocular deficient eyes. I tried a new site, called simply “Am I pretty or ugly? on scale of 0-100.” With my new picture and all my tricks, this time I landed an 82. “CHECK OUT THE PRETTIEST MAN IN THE WORLD,” I screamed, dancing on the couch. The excitement eased Laura slightly. So, she decided to rate a picture of herself. “No way,” I responded. “You’ll be too dramatic about it.”
fire protection, sewer and water hookups, garbage pick up and creating and maintaining our streets. Think of parks, national, state and local. If we had to pay for them ourselves, the costs would be astronomical. Again, only the well-to-do would be able to enjoy the benefits of the nation’s natural wonders. Public education: Our taxes go for public schools that educate all our children. If we had to pay great sums of money to send our children to private schools, again, only the rich would be able to get their children educated, lowering the standard of living for the rest of us, making society poorer. Public education provides the means to improve ones’ chances of success in the world. Perhaps that is why the Washington State Constitution made education the paramount priority of the state. Public education provides an avenue to the greater prosperity for us all. After World War II and during later wars, the G.I. Bill paid the costs of millions of returning soldiers to go to colleges and technical schools to better themselves. The results are higher standards of living for the entire nation. According to Johnston, 450,000 engineers, 240,000 accountants, 238,000 teachers, 91,000 scientists, 67,000 doctors and 22,000 dentists benefited from the public paying taxes to support the G.I. Bill. Accident protection: “Taxes are also a key reason why people are less likely to die in ac-
cidents than they were century ago,” Johnston writes. “The rate of death from accidents today is less than half what it was in 1902… Exclude automobiles, and the accidental death rate for our time is about a third of what it was a century ago.” We pay for government inspectors to maintain codes for electrical installations and to keep hazardous materials like asbestos out of our homes. Cars are much safer because regulatory laws were passed and taxes paid to enforce safer car design. In the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Company fire, 146 people, mainly immigrant women, died because the owner of the factory building locked emergency doors with chains to keep workers from sneaking out on company time. Many jumped to their deaths from windows and the roof rather than die in the flames. Because of this tragic fire we have better building and safety codes and we pay taxes for workers’ compensation out of every paycheck. Improved health: Taxes have increased our life spans from the average of 47.3 years in 1900 to 77.2 years today. This money comes from public health measures supported by taxes to regulate water, sewer, food and medicines for the public good. Taxes aren’t bad; they can actually save us money. “What matters is how we use our taxes. That

Taxes aren’t as evil as you think “Taxes are not an absolute economic evil, despite their simplistic portrayal as such by the antitax movement.” This quotation from “The Fine Print: How Big Companies use ‘Plain English’ to Rip You Off,” by David Cay Johnston, is meant to help us rethink whether taxes are always bad, or not. Johnston makes some very salient points that taxes can actually be cheaper than going to the marketplace to buy goods in a capitalist society. Here are a few examples: Police: If we were to hire our own security guards, how many of us could afford that? In many parts of the world, the rich build high walls topped with broken glass and concertina wire to keep out thieves. In Brazil, the super wealthy use helicopters to transport them because the streets are too dangerous. Taxing ourselves to pay for police protection is much cheaper than having to pay for our security because the costs are spread around a larger number of people. Other public services: The same is true for

political influence or hold whole states hostage to their threats like Boeing recently did with its 777X assembly line, that is the problem. Living in a thriving democracy requires eternal vigilance to protect us
from corporations who have been able to get legislation passed that reduce taxes for the wealthy while putting the burdens on the middle class and those least able to afford them. That has been the trend in banking – think the 2008
economic meltdown – and medicine, where the government has allowed and even abetted corporations to create near monopolies. David Cay Johnston is correct. We need to quit listening to the cries of “no more taxes!” and

www.covingtonreporter.com • www.maplevalleyreporter.com [ HAULER from page 1] City staff is recommending that the city’s next trash hauler contract go to Recology CleanScapes. The city’s current contract is with Waste Management, which has been in place since 2007. It is set to expire at end of August and the city has been going through a competitive process through a request for proposals. City staff presented the council with three options last spring in light of the impending expiration of the contract with Waste Management. The city could either: exercise one or both of two two-year contract extensions, negotiate a new contract with Waste Management, or go through a competitive process. When going through the competitive process, the city has two options: go out for a bid or post a request for proposals. Diana Pistoll, public works program coordinator for the city, explained that a bid specifies what services the city wants and asks bidders to name their price, while an RFP asks bidders what they can do for the city allowing the city to negotiate from there. Pistoll said in a phone interview Tuesday morning that the city is not legally required in this case to accept the lowest bid. A committee of city employees examined the different proposals and scored them based on factors like rate structure and amenities offered. Pistoll told the council CleanScapes came out on top across the board. CleanScapes currently services five cities in the area and is set to begin serving two more later this year. Pistoll also explained to council that the CleanScapes contract would reduce rates to all rate payers, increase the annual franchise fee the city receives, and have customer service benefits like a web portal and mobile app, as well as an expanded list of recyclables. She also said that a total of $250,000 in annual savings would be passed on to rate payers compared to the current contract. Many of those who spoke during the public comment period voiced their support for Waste Management because of the company’s community involvement and several spoke of how their children look forward to trash day because of the friendly Waste Management employees. Some of the concerns that were raised by community members during the
public comment were related to the distance that CleanScapes hauls their garbage, compost and recyclables, and that currently CleanScapes is bailing and storing recyclables while a new processing plant is being built, which is expected to open in May. “For us it’s really a nonissue,� Pistoll said about the company temporarily bailing and storing recyclables. Dan Bridges, manager of operations for CleanScapes, spoke at the meeting and said that the company is going over a contract with
Cedar Grove Composting that would send compostable waste from Maple Valley to the local company. Bridges stated that CleanScapes hopes to have a signed contract by the end of this week. After a lengthy discussion, the council decided to have an additional public comment period at the next meeting on March 10 before making a decision about the contract.

Tahoma wrestlers fight for fifth in state

It’s 5:45 p.m., two days after the slight disappointment of a fifth place finish at the state wrestling tournament. The Tahoma wrestlers are back on the mats preparing for the freestyle season. There had already been time for minor celebrations — applauding senior 126-pounder Cruz Velasquez’s trip to the finals and relishing a future that involves three freshmen who placed in the ultracompetitive 4A field. But for a program that has now placed in the top nine for 20 of the last 25 years, there is little room to relax. “We’re not going to settle,” said head coach Chris Feist. “That’s not who we are.” After finishing first in state as a team in 2012 and second in 2013, the Bears grapplers dropped to fifth in the 2014 Mat Classic held in the Tacoma Dome on Feb. 21-22. Their score of 100.5 fell one point behind Central Valley for fourth. Lake Stevens rolled to the top of the 4A rankings with a team total of 133. Feist was pleased with how his team competed, but knew they had oppor-
tunities for bonus points throughout the tournament. “They gave their best effort,” Feist said. “We don’t feel sorry for ourselves. We get better and we move on.” Feist said every team has goals to win state and that the key is execution. “You get what you train for,” Feist said. “We were a fifth place team this year. There are no gifts in this sport.” Velazquez, a senior, led the group with a secondplace medal, upping his previous third- and fourthplace finishes. Sporting a freshly manicured Mohawk, the aggressive grappler stormed through the opening round, pinning his first opponent. He gutted through a pair of two point victories to the finals, where he fell 3-1 to Pasco’s returning state champion Timmy Martinez. Cruz credited his uptick this year to a more smooth and methodical approach, which was evident before his first match, as he walked around with a smile, shaking the hands of event staff outside his mat. Fellow seniors Justin Weiding and Tucker Mjelde finished their prep careers on high notes, winning
Tahoma senior Cruz Velasquez tries to escape in the 126-pound finals match up on Feb. 22 in the Tacoma Dome. VINCE MILLER, The Reporter third place matches. After failing to place in the tournament his freshman and sophomore years, Mjelde went into the meet looking to make memories. “When you know everything is your last, it’s more fun rather than nerveracking,” Mjelde said prior to the tournament.
Beyond direct results on the mat, the punishing Tahoma wrestling standards helped get Cooper Thomas’s life back in order. Thomas, who finished seventh at 195 pounds, said he lost sight of his goals while taking a break from the mat his freshman and sophomore years. By regu-
larly devouring an entire DiGorno pizza as a snack, mixed with a growth spurt, his weight ballooned from 170 to 310 pounds. To train for wrestling, he ran and cut gluten from his diet, trimming 115 pounds. “I was tired of being out of shape,” Thomas said. “I was trying to regain my life a little bit.” Throughout the year, Feist preached the valuelessness of rankings — how a lonely guy in a Seattle basement that puts together a wrestling hierarchy for an online forum is not a definitive assessment of any team. “We don’t let other people define us,” Feist said. “Rankings put you in the ballpark, but you’ve still got to wrestle the match.” With the high school season finished, Feist and company will regroup for next year — immediately. “We’ve got another year before we’ve got to do it again and we get to work starting tonight,” Feist said.

RISK FACTORS FOR STROKE Stroke happens when the blood flow to the brain is interrupted or reduced, leaving the brain deprived of its source of oxygen and fuel. Stroke is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Some studies indicate that having a stroke can be largely prevented by good lifestyle habits. What are some common risk factors that increase a person’s risk for suffering from a stroke? High blood pressure and elevated cholesterol are causes. So are smoking, being overweight, and lack of physical exercise. Heavy drinking, illegal drugs, and some birth control pills can increase the risk of the condition. Lastly, diabetes and cardiovascular disease can play a deadly role. Discuss lifestyle changes with your doctor. Also, age, ethnicity, and family history can increase the risk of suffering a stroke. Some of the most important risk factors for stroke can be determined during a physical exam at your provider’s office. 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. 973939

REP. MARK HARGROVE R-47TH
REP. JAY RODNE, R 5TH Proudest accomplishment
REP. PAT SULLIVAN D-47TH
Proudest accomplishment
Co-sponsoring a bill that would make it easier for parents and close family members to involuntarily commit individuals who need psychiatric help. The issue partially stems from a 28-year-old man living in Seattle that attempted to commit suicide and made threats to others, but could not be committed by his parents. A Seattle SWAT team shot and killed the man in July of 2013. “It will save lives,” Rodne said of the bill. “If the Reuter’s had been able to get their son (Joel) into treatment back in January and February when they identified he was slipping into psychosis, he would be alive today.”
Proudest accomplishment Shepherding the House through a number of pieces of legislation, including the Dream Act. “We passed a little over 350 policy bills that deal with a wide variety of issues — from public safety to higher education to transportation,” he said.
Biggest disappointment From a personal standpoint, the lack of public attendance at his town hall meetings. “I wasn’t able to get more people to attend and share those views,” he said. “Each Saturday I’ve had a town hall meeting and I was hoping to have big crowds and I didn’t quite get there.” As a group, Sullivan didn’t have much to complain about. “We really got done a bunch of the work we wanted to get accomplished,” he said. “I was pretty pleased given the fact we only had a short amount of time. To this point I am pretty happy with how things have gone.”
Hopes moving forward Finishing the supplemental budget and making additional progress on the state’s McCleary obligation.
Working with the Department of Social and Health Services on a foster care bill and the Department of Ecology on a green technologies bill that would build a self-funding mechanism for local government agencies to reduce vehicle idle emissions. “It’s been rewarding to work with those agencies and build that bipartisan support,” he said.
Biggest disappointment There have been a few bills that are “a little off the mark,” where constituents aren’t quite understanding the full implications of bills, Hargrove said. He is trying to improve the communication process between various levels of individuals, including among his own caucus and between the House and Senate. “We put up these structural walls,” he said. “Every once in a while I see some progress in breaking those down, but we are not quite there yet.”
Hopes moving forward He is “cautiously optimistic” that the budget will be completed on time. “It’s good for the state when we get our business done and move on,” he said.
February 28, 2014 [15]
Biggest disappointment The failure to get meaningful reforms to the state’s transportation system. “I’d hoped that the senate majority would sponsor a package of reform measures that I think are needed and that would have paved the way for a more comprehensive package,” he said.
Hopes moving forward That the sessions ends on time with a budget agreement that focuses on a continued commitment to education.
