Benson appointed mayor after surprise resignation BY ERIC MANDEL AND DENNIS BOX emandel@covingtonreporter.com and dbox@soundpublishing.com
After 11 turbulent months on the job, Dave Gordon submitted his resignation as mayor of Black Diamond on Nov. 25. Six days later, at Monday’s special meeting, the Black Diamond City Council appointed councilwoman and mayor pro tempore Carol Benson as his replacement. The council chose not to advertise or request any applications for the position from the public. “We had the public’s input,” Benson told The Reporter after her unanimous appointment. “We all got elected by 70 percent.” Benson won City Council Position No. 4 receiving 1,047 votes, 66.90 percent to 516 votes and 32.97 percent for Shawn Oglesbee in the November 2013 general election. The turnout was 61 percent of the 2,752 registered voters.
The Reporter first learned of Gordon’s resignation through an email from City Clerk Brenda Martinez sent at 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 25. The email included a revised notice Carol Benson and agenda for the special meeting, which included “discussion and appointment of mayor.” Gordon emailed a statement to The Reporter for the people of Black Diamond about 90 minutes later, saying he made “a very difficult decision” and that he was “very proud and happy to represent this city for the past year.” “However due to circumstance beyond my control, I feel I can’t serve the duties of mayor to the standard I set for myself,” wrote Gordon, who had three years remaining on his four-year term. “The current culture of City Hall is not in
the people’s best interest. I have worked hard to foster support from every political group and individual.” Gordon also thanked his supporters and those Dave Gordon who voted for him last November. “I firmly believe you are part of the solution or part of the problem,” he wrote. “I no longer feel I’m part of the solution. I must step aside to shine the light brightly on the problem. To that resolve I submit my letter of resignation with immediate effect.”
RESIGNATION When reached by phone following Martinez’s email, City Councilman Ron Taylor told The Reporter that he only heard about the resignation that day. “It’s a surprise to me, too,” Taylor said.
“I’m just learning about it like everybody else.” Benson could not be reached by phone at the time, but Taylor said it was too early to make any comments about who would step into the mayor’s role. “We’re just trying to figure out ourselves how do we go from here and have a smooth transition,” Taylor said. “We’ll certainly make sure things continue to operate and remain as stable as possible. Beyond that, I can’t say a whole lot because I don’t know a whole lot.” Councilwoman Ericka Morgan was contacted by phone Nov. 26 said she was “mystified” by the announcement and Gordon’s actions came out of the blue. Black Diamond was already without a city administrator, after Christy Todd resigned in May following a sexual harassment complaint against Gordon.

Property levy hike, tax rate decrease

The city of Covington’s identity remains under construction, but it’s being built with fewer drivethru windows. The city launched a new logo and slogan — “Growing Toward Greatness” — in July they hoped would help make the city more recognizable and to develop COVINGTON the idea that Covington is “a destination.” But the heavy lifting behind the conceptual facade came years ago, during the vision statement for its Downtown Plan that cut the clutter of more than a dozen different zoning classifications to four. Among those changes was language aimed at limiting drive-thru services, instead focusing on pedestrianfriendly businesses and walkable
The Maple Valley City Council approved a .94 percent property tax levy increase, effective Jan. 1, 2015. But, the tax rate has decreased from $1.46 per $1,000 of assessed value to $1.25 per $1,000 of assessed value due to an influx of commercial property, according to City MAPLE Manager David VALLEY Johnston. This means that residents can rest easy knowing their property taxes will most likely not increase, despite the increase in the levy amount that was approved at the Nov. 24 council meeting. However, the city is looking at potentially running a bond in the next year or so to fund capital projects for parks and recreation. New park facilities is argu-

Covington police respond to school lockdown
COVINGTON COMMISSION OPENINGS The city of Covington is looking to fill openings on its arts and parks and recreation commissions. According to the city’s website, of the Covington’s five commissions, there are three upcoming openings in parks and recreation, “for citizens who want to be advocates, proactive participants, and leaders in the growth of Covington’s parks and recreation facilities and programs.” There are also currently two open positions on the Arts Commission.

Covington police responded to a lockdown at Cedar Heights Middle School Nov. 25, which was eventually declared an “unfounded situation,” according to Police Chief Kevin Klason. Klason said school officials reported early Tuesday that a student might be bringing a firearm to school. The student was contacted in the classroom and found not to be in possession of a firearm. Klason said the individual was younger than 13 years old. “We made sure parents were aware and counselors were involved,” Klason said.
“The school and counselors are taking care of it.” Kent School District Spokesman Chris Loftis said he wasn’t sure where the rumor of a firearm came from, but that the school always errs on the side of caution. “Whenever you have a rumor or report of a weapon on campus you have to take every precaution,” he said. Loftis said parents were notified by letter and robocall during the day.

Senator Fain recognized for open records legislation The Washington Coalition for Open Government will present its 2014 Ballard/Thompson Award to Senate Majority Floor Leader Joe Fain. The award honors a member of the state legislature who demonstrated outstanding dedication to the cause of open government during the previous legislative session. The Coalition is honoring Fain for being the prime sponsor of Engrossed Senate Bill 5964, which mandates that most elected officials (except legislators) and public records officers are to receive training at least every four years on records retention, disclosure and public meetings. Senator Fain was able to guide the bill through the legislative process, avoiding attempts to weaken it, and getting it passed and signed by Gov. Inslee. This award is named in recognition of former Speaker of the House Clyde Ballard and former Chief Clerk of the House and Senator Alan Thompson. Ballard, a Republican, and Thompson, a Democrat, were champions of open gov-
ernment in the legislature, as well as founding directors of Washington Coalition for Open Government. The award will be presented Monday, Jan. 26, in Olympia. The Coalition will also hold it’s first-ever WCOG Legislative Day in Olympia that day. WCOG members and members of the general public will gather at 9 a.m. in the Washington Room of the Pritchard Building on the capitol campus in Olympia for coffee and pastries, copies of WCOG’s 2015 Legislative Priorities, and pep talks by our legislative experts. ESB 5964 was amended in the Senate Governmental Operations Committee to eliminate the mandatory nature of training, saying only “elected officials” may participate in training. Senator Fain worked to exclude this amendment when the bill passed on the Senate floor. Senator Fain then worked with Representative Gerry Pollet and House leadership to get the bill passed in the House without further amendment.

Covington Council to hold public hearing on impact fees The Covington City Council will hold a public hearing at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 9 to receive comments about the proposed Kent School District Impact Fee schedule for 2015. The Kent School District Board of Directors denied a request Oct. 8 by the Inland Group for a reduction on school impact fees for the Polaris apartment buildings it plans to build for Covington’s Town Center project. The development would be located adjacent to Covington Elementary School. Richard Hart, Covington community development director, told The
Reporter last month that he sent a decision to the city’s attorney that would disregard the school district’s recommendation and would instead recommend going forward with the fee waiver at 80 percent. The city cites CMC 18.129.020 and RCW Chapter 26.70A and Chapter 82.02, which authorizes the collection of impact fees for development activity to provide public school facilities to serve new development. There will also be a public hearing Dec. 9 for adopting the Kent School District 2015-2020 Capital Facilities Plan.

There is hope for the modern world, discovered in the most unlikely of devices. In the past, my cellphone has masqueraded as a demon device suddenly calling strangers or refusing to ring when God is calling. Despite what certain young women in the office say (never believe them), I know how to work my phone; it is the cellphone that turned on me when I yell clean obscenities at it. Unless I used just the right tone and poked it in the proper place, it suddenly went dark and refused to speak or turn on the light. However, in my hour of despair, I discovered hope. At about midnight a couple of months ago I was driving to Anacortes to catch a ferry to San Juan Island for work. I got lost somewhere on the outskirts of Enumclaw. It was dark. I decided I would try one of those things (I know – it’s a stupid app) that mysteriously show up for no reason when I am trying to answer the ringing that is not in my head. The thing is called “There” or “Go there” or “You’re lost forever” – something like that. Anyway, I pulled over in the dark, began whacking my phone and suddenly a light asked me where I was going and where I came from,

Tug and pull over immigration The battle we are now witnessing between the president and the Republicans in Congress over immigration is a strange one. It is strange because both sides have forgotten how they have acted during the past six years toward each other and only see the slights and attacks from the other side. President Obama, stung by the midterm congressional election race losses, is unwilling to accept his defeat easily, just as the Republicans refused to accept their 2012 presidential loss. The Republicans are gloating over their recent congressional victories, just as Obama gloated over trouncing the Republicans in 2012, feeling he had a mandate. The Republicans have forgotten their low approval ratings especially among the young and minorities, and their previous six years of obstructionism toward the president and his policies. The immigration issue brings the past six years of rancor and ill will to center stage. Even as President Obama stressed his solutions to immigration in his recent speech, he knows his initiatives will anger Republicans but he doesn’t feel it will make any difference. He doesn’t trust them to act for the good of the poor and middle class or treat him with respect. They’ve hated him from the beginning of his first term. Nothing is going to change
like some Philosophy 101 class I flunked. Miraculously the magic light in my phone figured out where I was going and a woman in white began talking to me. I couldn’t believe it. I found a girlfriend in my shirt pocket. Once we got rolling, every time I was going a mile or two over the speed limit, my new girlfriend started yelling at me. After a couple of yellings, I started speeding just to hear her soothing critique, to see if she still liked me. Then I took a wrong turn. That was nearly
nirvana. “Recalculating because you are a dummy,” she yelled. I loved it. I started taking wrong turns and speeding to see what my new cellphone jinni would do next. Now I really like my cellphone and I never leave it alone. I have my jinni tell me how to get to the grocery store a few blocks away, just to make sure I take the right route. One can’t be too careful. I wonder if my jinni will grant me wishes. Hope.
that attitude. Relationships between the president and the Republicans in Congress will only get worse, not better. The Republicans, feeling victorious, now expect the president to forget their past actions and words toward him. Sen. John McCain, in a Nov. 6 MSNBC broadcast, summed up their attitude quite clearly by pleading with the president to wait on immigration until they take control of Congress in January: “We’ve got a new Congress. We’ve got a new mandate,” he said. “Let’s let the House of Representatives decide if they want to move forward on immigration reform or not.” President Obama probably is thinking that when only 40 percent of the eligible electorate voted in early November, the word “mandate” does not seem valid. He thinks back 16 months, to the immigration bill passed by a bipartisan Senate, and remembers how the Republican-controlled House refused to allow the bill to even be voted on, knowing full well that if that were allowed, it would have passed with Democratic and moderate Republican support. He thinks to himself, “Why should I wait any longer?” Former presidential candidate Mitt Romney had an explanation for the Republican refusal to pass immigration reform then in a Nov. 2, 2014, CNN interview: “I think the Republicans in the House were looking at what was coming up from the Senate and saying: ‘You know we can do better if we pick up some more seats in the Senate.’” The problem with the passage of this Senate bill is that only 14 of 46 Republicans voted for it in 2013. Based upon Romney’s words,
the new Republican majority in January 2015 will want a greater say than they got with the June 2013 Senate bill. Republicans know the survival of their party is at stake. Unless they pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill, their chances of winning the presidency in 2016 are nil. There are three major concerns that Republicans have, according to Romney: 1) securing the border, 2) dealing with the those illegally residing in this country, and 3) “making the immigration policies…open and transparent to the many people who want to come here legally.” Obama’s response from his recent speech is that he’d already done their first priority: he’s nearly doubled security along the border and used drones to patrol difficult terrain. He’s deported thousands of criminals and, with his recent decision, will handle the Republicans’ No. 2 and 3 priorities until Congress gives him a bill to sign. At that point he says he’ll tear up his executive orders. While Republicans do not dispute the president is doing good for immigrants and the nation, they do strongly believe it’s not his job it’s theirs. Both have forgotten that their own actions and words over the past six years have poisoned the other’s well of trust. The issue is not whether the president can carry through on his plans or whether or how the Republican-controlled Congress will retaliate. The issue is that our government is functioning as the founders intended. They designed the Constitution with the hope and expectation that there would be no love lost between the branches of government. We have seen their vision come to pass before our eyes.

www.covingtonreporter.com • www.maplevalleyreporter.com adopted by the city council make his job easier. “We don’t have a lot of flexibility because if you don’t treat everybody the same, then the second person comes in and says, ‘you didn’t treat the person before me like that,â€? Hart said.
[ COVINGTON from page 1] streets. “(The public wants) Covington to be more than a suburban shopping area, or more than a place you go through on the way from Interstate 405 to Maple Valley,� said Richard Hart, Covington Community Development Director. “The people who live here want to have an identity of what is Covington.� In the eyes of at least one commercial real estate agent, though, this dedication to the plan means extra work, and, potentially, losing out on some business opportunities. “(The Design Review) is put together by well-intended people,� said Brian Pounder, president of Regency Group, a commercial real estate firm located in Bellevue, who is assisting with the property previously home to the former Burger King that closed in October. “But there’s the old saying about unintended consequences of well-intentioned ideas.� Covington, which was incorporated in 1997, has developed commercial centers liked Costco and Walmart over the last few years, but is also working to build a true center of the community. Hart said surveys have shown Covington citizens want the city to be to be more than strip malls and drive-thrus. The city’s design standards reflect that goal, with regulations depending on the street type — whether the area is more focused on pedestrians, normal driving traffic or commercial vehicles. Each standard provides a checklist of requirements, some with a “menu� approach, according to Hart, giving developers and architects a slightly broader choice for construction. The City Council established the permitted uses during the city’s downtown zoning study, which was adopted in 2009. The zoning codes and downtown design guidelines provide the parameter on how the site is developed — setbacks, drainage, parking, building orientation, signs and safety requirements. Hart said limiting the zones to TC (Town Center), MC (Mixed Commercial), GC (General Commercial) and MHO (Mixed Housing and Office) cut complication. Hart said the land use regulations can’t be arbitrary. “You can’t just say this looks nice or not nice — that is being arbitrary or capricious,� Hart said. “Our codes are very clear and say exactly what is required.� New drive-thrus are not allowed in the Town Center or Mixed Housing and Office zones. The city’s intent is “to provide a pedestrian–oriented core to the downtown,� according to Salina Lyons, Covington’s principal planner. Current buildings in the zones, such as the McDonald’s, which was renovated in the last few years, and the former Burger King, located on Southeast 272nd Street, are grandfathered in since their drive-thrus were built before
LAND AND MONEY
Covington staff are in discussion with Chick-fil-A officials about the former Burger King location on SE 272nd Street. ERIC MANDEL, The Reporter the city implemented the zoning requirements. Still, the city mandates that new drive-thrus can’t be directly facing Highway 516. For the Wendy’s, currently being built on Kent-Kangley Road, across from Fred Meyer, that means the drive-thru design must be either behind or to the side of the building. Pounder said this requirement can be burdensome on potential businesses. “They have made the drive-thru aspect very difficult,� Pounder said. According to QSR Magazine, which covers quick service and fast casual restaurants, the drive-thru can account for between 50 and 70 percent of a restaurant’s sales. In 2012, The NPD Group, a market research company, reported customers made 12.4 billion fast food drive-thru visits in 2011 and 2012. Hart said the design requirement enhances the city’s appearance and that studies have shown that city’s with high quality designs have greater economic value than communities that don’t. Hart said design standards “very rarely� kill a project, estimating a 95 percent success rate of working with developers since the process began. Hart said the rigid regulations
Pounder, who said Regency Group has leased more than 200,000 square feet of space in Covington, claimed tenant improvement requests can take months to complete. “They analyze to a fault,â€? Pounder said. “If we want to attract good businesses, as much as it is important to analyze, time is money‌ If you can do it in two months, why should it take 10 months?â€? Lawrence Campbell, a commercial architect in Kent for more than 40 years, voiced similar concerns during his two most recent project’s in Covington. The first permit he needed, Campbell said, was for improving a parking lot and went relatively smoothly. Meanwhile, he found that completing the second permit, a tenant improvement project, to be “time-consumingâ€? and “irritating.â€? Campbell said the city’s major issue is cutting the delays on routine aspects — most notably the need to set up appointment for most everything. “They were very thorough, but the other side of the coin is you can’t even perform a very minor thing, like turning in a form that you’ve downloaded off their website without making an appointment with someone to do so,â€? Campbell said. “And that’s highly unusual in the building department. To me, it’s not a good definition of public service.â€? Campbell, who is semi-retired, called Covington “probably the least user-friendly departmentâ€? he’s dealt with recently. Despite the complaint, Campbell said he respects the city’s dedication to thoroughness, a quality he doesn’t always see. “There are some very nice people (on the staff ) and, to a certain degree, they are trapped in a system that doesn’t make much of an effort to really provide that friendly, overthe-counter assistance that you experience in just about every other building department,â€? Campbell said. â€œâ€ŚCovington doesn’t stack up real well against some of the other local building departments, but I’m certainly not going to condemn them.â€?
COVINGTON STILL NEAR THE TOP The code requirements don’t appear to have any impact on Covington’s overall economic desirability. After at least six years in a row as the No. 1 city for annual growth in the Washington State Retail Survey, Covington dropped to No. 2 in 2014. Bonney Lake finished 19, Renton 20th, and Auburn No. 38. Neither Maple Valley nor Black Diamond cracked the top 50. [ more COVINGTON page 18 ]

There are four main blood types that humans can have coursing through their systems: A, B, AB, and the universal O. Ever wondered what those four, seemingly random letters (or groups of letters) means? The letters represent the proteins, called antigens, that are on the surface of red blood cells. In addition to letters, blood types are followed by either a positive sign or a negative sign. These symbols represent the Rhesus—or Rh— factor. Rhesus represents another protein on the surface of red blood cells. Blood typing becomes vital when blood transfusions are needed. If the right type of blood is not supplied, blood cells can clump together, with fatal results. Not all blood types are compatible, so it’s important to know your blood group to ensure that if you are given a transfusion, your body won’t make antibodies to attack the donor blood.

www.covingtonreporter.com • www.maplevalleyreporter.com I snapped pictures throughout the activity; construction, mid-decorating progress, completion. But besides making frosting, my help was not needed. When I asked them to clean up so I could get a picture of all of them with their creations, they all chipped in, cleared the table and stood, indulging me, for a photo shoot. It was still fun, just very underwhelming. We’ll continue to have this tradition as long as one of my daughters wants to do it. My youngest and I bake all the pieces together and that’s part of our mother/daughter tradition; working together to complete that arduous task. Every gingerbread building mold is half a house, so for five houses, plus five trains, as we needed this year, we had a lot of baking to do. Still, it’s worth it in the end. And as I cleaned the last dregs of frosting, the memories from years past flooded in and made me smile. Then I flipped over a kitchen chair to clean off the frosting sticking to its feet. There was a huge splatter of chocolate on the underside of the seat. Chocolate from our Christmas almond roca making tradition - how many years has that been there? I laughed to myself and put the chair upright without cleaning it off. Memories indeed.

There was a time, not so long ago, when a snow flurry would have roused my kids from their bed and sent them into a frenzy of finding boots, gloves, hats and jackets. They would have thrilled at making fresh footprints across the yard, scooping the snow off fences, bushes and trees, throwing snowballs, building a lopsided snowman. On Saturday morning, as I enjoyed watching our first snow of the season, my youngest got up to go to the bathroom. “Oh, it’s snowing,” then she went back to bed. I was contemplating how much my kids have grown up on Black Friday when, rather than shopping, we make gingerbread houses. They gathered a few friends and I was ready and waiting for the pandemonium to begin – and nothing happened. My job during this event is to make frosting and keep a cap on the mess. However, the biggest mess that occurred was when I dropped a huge blob of frosting on the floor as I was

trying to put it in the decorating bag. Maybe it was the absence of food coloring this year that made it calmer or maybe they’re just getting older. I can’t really say I missed the usual chaos, but I was a bit nostalgic for what it used to be. They still laughed, joked around, put mischievous additions on their houses to push my decorating decree “no ninjas, blood or train wrecks” (there was a salmon farm with Swedish fish candy poking out from every available chimney and window, piled in the train and against the house). It was so uneventful for me; I actually went and took a shower. As I got out of the shower and heard hysterical laughter. I chastised myself for my lapse in judgment to leave a bunch of teen girls alone with frosting and candy. I dressed quickly and rushed out expecting a frosted explosion or the remnants of a candy infused food fight. They were just laughing. They took their time with their houses, thoughtfully choosing from a huge variety of colorful candies (I get a bit carried away when I buy candy to put on the houses) for decorating accents (salmon), unlike past years when the kids were too impatient to glue the pieces of the house together so dad had to do it and as much candy was eaten as was randomly slapped on the house (okay, the eating candy part is still the same).

Johnston said one thing is for certain, the city doesn’t have a lot of park land, either developed or undeveloped. The 2015 preliminary capital budget, outlined by Johnston and Finance Director Shawn Hunstock, has 30.7 percent of the capital revenue earmarked as voted bond proceeds for 2015-2020. This doesn’t mean that the city plans on running a bond in 2015, but it does mean that a voter-initiated bond is one of the few options the city has for funding parks projects, according to Greg Brown, parks and recreation director. “You’ve got four projects (in the budget) that rely heavily on voted bonds,” Brown said to the council at the meeting. Those projects include finishing Summit Park, a youth, community and senior facility, Lake Wilderness Park and a community park acquisition. The total estimated bond proceeds for those projects is about $18.8 million. If the city decides to run a bond for these projects, it will be the first voter-initiated bond in the city’s 17-year history. However, getting a bond on a ballot carries a hefty price tag, approximately $30,000. But, Johnston thinks that the

As a junior at Tahoma, Sullivan was selected to the Division I SPSL/Narrows All-Conference First Team, posting 34 points (19g, 15a) and 41 ground balls. The Bears finished on top of the SPSL/Narrows Conference with a 13-5-0 record, missing the state title game by a single goal after falling to Washington state Division I runner-up Issaquah High School in the state semifinals.
Two-sport Tahoma High School standout Brody Sullivan made a verbal commitment to play lacrosse at the University of Mount Olive in North Carolina. Sullivan, who will captain the Tahoma lacrosse team for the second year this spring and winner of two school letters in football, is the second student-athlete from Tahoma last month to commit to play lacrosse at the NCAA level. Following graduation this spring, Sullivan will join a Division II Mount Olive squad that already includes nine Washington state players. The upcoming 2015 freshman class features four from the Evergreen state. “It’s an honor to play at Mount Olive,” said Sullivan, a 6 foot, 200 pound midfielder, in a press release. “I feel privileged to have the opportunity.”

community may be willing to pass one for parks because of the need many of them have expressed. It took two tries for the Tahoma School District to pass a bond for the construction of a new high school and regional learning center, but the $195 million bond did eventually get voter approval. “Sometimes you have to do it more than once,” said Johnston, anticipating that it may not be a one-time effort. The city has a clear revenue gap for funding parks projects. One suggestion brought to the council last week was to close and sell Lake Wilderness Golf Course. Les Burberry of Maple Valley said the timing is right. He said there may be someone willing to take the risk right now because Elk Run Golf Course has closed. But, he added, once one year goes by and Lake Wilderness hasn’t seen an increase in the number of rounds of golf, the window of opportunity to sell will have passed. However, Deputy Mayor Sean Kelly isn’t convinced the golf course is a lost cause. He said he wants the city to watch it and see how it does in the next year or more before entertaining the idea of selling it. He added that the council has not discussed closing the golf course. The City Council is planning on approving their 2015 budget at next Monday’s City Council meeting at 7 p.m.

Kentwood’s gymnastics team is young and mostly inexperienced, but coach Ann Diaz said she’d rather see the girls improve significantly from the season’s start to the end, rather than win every competition. She said most of the team is at the beginner level, with the exception of a few girls that have competed at the club level previously. But, she said there are a few gymnasts with raw talent that just needs experience. She said she is looking forward to seeing the team’s growth over the season. Tahoma’s coaches, former University of Washington gymnasts Wendy Ward and Dachelle Pand, are eager to harness the strong work ethic and selflessness they have already seen in their athletes so far this season. Last year was their building year with several gymnasts learning the sport for the first time. This year they have a goal of qualifying as a team to the district and state competitions. But, they aren’t completely focused on winning. The pair want to, more than anything, promote love for the sport while improving upon their team score at every meet. Who to watch - sophomore Tenley Mjelde and freshmen Harley Rayburn and Kalani Pinter. Kentlake head coach Lindsey Duerre said she wants to help each of her gymnasts build their skills so they can participate in a varsity meet. In addition to a well-established team of six athletes that are returning this year, there are also 14 girls that are new to the team, making this a strong mix of experienced and beginner athletes. Who to watch - sophomore Calista Webb (new to the team this year), senior Jolene Carlson on floor, freshman Brianna Tinnel on bars, and sisters Ali and Katie Beliveau and Amandy and Alex Gustafson. The first meets of the season for all three teams will be Wednesday, Dec. 10. Tahoma will compete against Auburn, Thomas Jefferson and Kent-Meridian at 7 p.m. at Kent-Meridian High School. Kentlake will host Auburn Mountainview, Decatur

Gardeners stuck indoors due to shorter days and colder weather have an excuse to get outside and get moving by collecting fallen leaves, evergreen boughs and other debris to layer on top of tender plants this week. The ground will be kept warmer by just an inch or two of insulation layered over the roots of tender plants like salvia, hardy fuchsia, lavender, canna, mums, and eucomis or pineapple lily. Fallen leaves protect plants from freezing weather while fallen cedar limbs repel water and protect rot-sensitive plants from too much rain in the root zone. Plants like salvia and lavender that insist on good drainage will welcome an umbrella of cedar this month.
CHRISTMAS GONE GREEN There is another use for storm debris that is catching on

along the edge of a pot. Allow the cedar to hide the stems of the other evergreen and spill forth from the rim of the pots. You can cut up cedar bits and wire it to picks or other branches as this tough evergreen will not wilt or dry out if the cut end is not in moist soil. Cedar is the most durable of our native evergreens once the branches are cut from the plant. Avoid using native hemlock in displays as the needles fall from cut hemlock as soon as the bough begins to dry.
ACCENTS THE FINISHING TOUCH THREE STEPS TO DIRT CHEAP WINTER COLOR
Step one: Start with the tallest branches in the center or a pot or back of a window box. If you don’t have branches from white-barked birch or red-twig dogwood you can substitute curly willow, filbert or any bare branch with an interesting texture. The bare branches will give the container display scale and height so try to cut them long enough so that once inserted into the soil they are two-thirds as tall as the container. Step two: Add evergreens to fill in around the bare branches. This is the time to prune holly, leucothe, pieris japonica, camellia or mahonia if the winds did not deposit a bounty of evergreens for your display. Any plant that has berries will add color so snip away at barberry, cotoneaster, snowberry and kinninick if you can’t find enough holly with red berries. Step three: Save the drooping form of our native Western cedar for the front of your containers or to display all
What’s Happening at the Arboretum
Add extra bits of color and texture using anything that is weather proof. Pinecones and seed heads are traditional, red yarnbows adds a country touch while theme displays using anything from metal cookie cutters to a collection of nut crackers will add a personal touch. Going green and going natural this winter has one more advantage – your outdoor holiday display can fill the voids and should continue to look fresh through out the chilly month of January. Then, when you are ready for spring, you won’t have to worry about storing the holiday display. Your collection of evergreens, bark and berries can go right into the compost pile.

POINSETTIA’S INFORMATION
Lake Wilderness Arboretum is open to the public every day from dawn to dusk – especially during the holidays. Admission is free and free parking is available in the Arboretum lot near the front entrance, in designated parking space along the access road and at Lake Wilderness Park. A welcome kiosk near the Arboretum entrance contains maps and brochures. You, your family and your pets can enjoy walking all five acres of gardens and 37 acres of forest trails. Most garden paths are stroller- and wheelchair-accessible while natural stone stairs take visitors to forest trails. Lake Wilderness Arboretum’s six unique display gardens celebrate the Northwest landscape and are created, transformed and maintained by dedicated volunteers for almost 50 years. Benches are located throughout the property and a covered gazebo offers seating. Find public restrooms at Lake Wilderness Park.
The poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) is one of the most popular holiday plants, known for its green leaves and red bracts, which can also be orange, pale green, cream, pink, white or marbled and are often times mistaken for the plant’s flowers. Poinsettia flowers are small yellow blooms called cyathia in the center of each leaf bunch. A member of the spurge family of plants, poinsettias are indigenous to Mexico and Central America. Gardeners in warm climate states such as California are quite successful growing these shrubs outdoors where they bloom in winter. Legend has it in 16th century Mexico, an angel inspired a poor girl to give the gift of poinsettias for the celebration of Jesus’ birthday. In modern times, the star-shaped leaves are said to symbolize the Star of Bethlehem. In the United States, Dec. 12 is National Poinsettia Day. Here in the Northwest, place poinsettias indoors near a sunny window. They are sensitive to cold drafts and extreme temperature shifts. Poinsettias continue to bloom in temperatures of 65-75 degrees. They need humidity. Water frequently, allowing it to drain.

WINTER PROTECTION
with cities that want to go green and savvy private citizens. Instead of stringing lights and purchasing shiny ornaments, use the branches of cedar boughs to make garlands and evergreen bits from a mix of plants to fill the empty containers and hanging baskets that once festooned the summer garden. Window boxes can be stuffed with drooping cedar and upright holly while the colorful but leafless stems of coral bark maple or red twig dogwood can be poked into potting soil to add a colorful accent line to rise above the evergreen color.
The Compleat Home Gardener
The first storms of the winter season have left us with a holiday bonus. Fallen evergreen boughs, branches and berries are ripe for the plucking as you gather the debris from your lawn and garden beds. From plant protection to Christmas decoration, there are a lot of good things you can do with storm debris.
www.covingtonreporter.com • www.maplevalleyreporter.com [ MAYOR from page 7] and that the resolution lets the council have a role in the beginning of the process, as opposed to finding out about an expenditure when the bill comes. Following the meeting, Gordon told The Reporter that he was “disappointedâ€? in the resolution because it lacked provisions for emergencies. Gordon told The Reporter that he threatened to veto the “short-sightedâ€? resolution in an email he sent to council members. Ultimately, Gordon said he decided that it was his job “to support the what the council wantsâ€? even though he thinks the resolution will slow down the government and everyday processes. In an email later obtained by The Reporter from Gordon to Police Chief Jamey Kiblinger, Gordon called the resolution “hocus pocse (sic)legislationâ€? and questioned if it was constitutionally legal, especially since he never actually signed the resolution. In another case of miscommunication, on Oct. 30, Gordon apologized on behalf of Taylor, for what Gordon considered “offensiveâ€? remarks by Taylor at the Oct. 16 council meeting regarding adding two unpaid holidays for public employees. Taylor said at the meeting the resolution was “another step toward political correctnessâ€? and he added, “I mean, let’s face it, this nation was founded as a Christian nation. Tonight when we gave the pledge of allegiance, we said, ‘one nation under God.’ If one of us went to an Islamic country, do you think one of us could demand a holiday there. I don’t think that would go over very well.

Anyway, I don’t support this.� Gordon issued a statement assuring the public that Taylor “regrets what was said.� When asked by The Reporter about Gordon’s assurance, Taylor denied ever making apologies about his statement.
AFTER THE RESIGNATION After Gordon emailed his resignation statement, The Reporter sent him emails and left two voice messages asking for further comments and clarification for his reasons to quit. Gordon replied in an email Nov. 26 following his statement, “At the moment I just don’t have anything else to add.� He did not return phone messages left after Benson was appointed to the position.
