Rehabilitated bald eagle takes flight
Russell Ridge Center may close doors
A DIVISION OF SOUND PUBLISHING
BY DENNIS BOX Editor
A
rehabilitated female bald eagle flew to freedom March 20 on a section of the Green River west of Flaming Geyser State Park. Dr. Jan White, a veterinarian and founder of South Sound Critter Care, and Lisa Horn, executive director of West Sound Wildlife Shelter, met at Coates Christmas Tree Farm east of Auburn to release the eagle. White said the bird had been injured a few months earlier near the spot she was release back into the wild. The eagle was taken in by South Sound Critter Care and later transferred to West Sound Wildlife Shelter on Bainbridge Island. South Sound Critter Care is located at 28727 216th Ave. SE near Lake Sawyer and south of Covington. The facility is a licensed general wildlife center principally serving King and Pierce counties. It is dedicated to the care, rehabilitation and release of orphaned and injured wildlife. White and Tigger Birch, a licensed veterinarian technician, opened critter care in 2009 and it has consistently grown since. Mammals, reptiles and birds are cared for at the facility. Critter care’s website estimates 4,000 animals are taken in during the course of a year. Much of the work is done by volunteers, and [ more EAGLE page 11 ]

City Council to consider a park bond for 2016 special election BY REBECCA GOURLEY Reporter
The city of Maple Valley is aiming to put a parks and recreation bond measure out to voters on the April 2016 special election ballot. It would be the first voter-approved bond the city has put on a ballot in its 18-year history. A definite bond amount hasn’t been officially set, but the City Council reached consensus Monday that the $20 million mark the Parks and Recreation Commission recommended is a good amount to stay around.
In a letter to parents dated March 13, the Tahoma School District announced it would be closing the Russell Ridge Center at the end of this school year. But numerous parents expressed their concern the district didn’t go through the proper legal channels before making the decision to close the school. According to RCW 28A.335.020, school boards must adopt a policy that allows for public involvement before a decision is made to close a school. After the initial letter was sent to parents, a second one signed by Tahoma School District Superintendent Rob Morrow was sent out on March 19. In it, Morrow stated the school board is going to provide the community with “a minimum of two opportunities” to address the board with their concerns over the center’s possible closure. [ more CLOSe page 5 ]
Something else that will be started immediately is the process for a feasibility study on a potential recreation center. That cost, about $60,000, is already included in this year’s budget and won’t need to be included on the bond. The land acquisition part of the bond could include purchasing approximately 15 acres of the back nine of the former Elk Run Golf Course for a park. Alternatively, Brown said, the owners have indicated they might be interested in providing an easement throughout the property to allow for public use on the already-existing cart paths. This would help fill a gap in park services on the southwest end of town, Brown said. A different funding source the commission talked about was potentially selling one of the city’s six undeveloped park properties to pay for other, more easily developable land within the city, like a portion of Elk Run.

This is what happens when kids don’t drive
Arboretum raises $8,000 at annual Hellebore Tea The annual Hellebore Tea to benefit Lake Wilderness Arboretum took place March 8 at Lake Wilderness Lodge. The popular fundraiser features a homemade tea served by friends of the arboretum and a silent auction, plus hotly contested table decoration and hat contests judged by local garden expert Marianne Binetti. This year 250 guests and sponsors raised about $8,000 for the Lake Wilderness Arboretum Foundation, which is celebrating 50 years of volunteerism. “We would like to thank the 22 women who set and decorated 25 tables in such imaginative, beautiful and elaborate ways that just taking a walk through the Lake Wilderness Lodge was a delight,” said coordinator Maria Van Zanen. “A special thank you to CJ’s Bakery for donating a beautiful cake to celebrate our 50th anniversary.”
I’ve been very careful to make sure my daughters know they are no one’s limo service, but if they’re on their way from school to home, or they want to have their friends over, or they’re on their way to the movies or something, it’s fine if they drive their friends. Sometimes my youngest will even run them all home after a sleepover. That’s fine too because I like being the house they most often congregate at, but they are not to just start running random errands for their friends. My only issue with none of my daughter’s friends driving is that in this time of my being, it would be really convenient if one of them was driving and had her own car. They could house sit over spring break. They can physically house sit without driving and one of my oldest daughter’s friends did once, but then their parents have to drive out here, as needed, throughout the week. And it also depends on whether the kids feel comfortable living in a strange house in a strange neighborhood for a week (although I mean strange as in unfamiliar, there are some odd people about, but they’re harmless).

Imagine treating cancer patients by infecting them with a type of bacteria. While this may seem counterintuitive, the practice of introducing a kind of bacteria known as “Coley toxins” resulted in some success back in the late 1800s when Dr. William Coley discovered the method. Soon after, however, treatments such as radiation therapy took away the spotlight. Over the last few decades, researchers have been having success stimulating the immune system to fight diseases like cancer. The technique is called immunotherapy, and it can be utilized in a couple of different ways. The first is by using the body’s own immune system. The second is by giving the patient man-made immune system proteins. Cancer immunotherapy is also known as biologic therapy or biotherapy. For more information, please call Southlake Clinic at (253) 395-1972. Our Covington clinic is located at 27005 168th Place SE. Our primary care providers are supported by a network of multi-specialty physicians and services.
I also find it ironic the two kids who practically live in our backyard are not really capable of house sitting for various reasons of reliability, animal paranoia or just busyness. The one friend who lives walking distance and is more than capable of house sitting animals (let’s face it, the house is fine, it’s the animals that need taking care of) is going to the same place we’re going over spring break (Disney, not the college). I have a potential adult to housesit, but haven’t confirmed her schedule yet. However, I’m confounded by all these resources at my fingertips, yet none are available. Not even my oldest daughter because she’s still in school (although she’s our ride to and from the airport). It’s a frustrating dilemma to be sure and it’s time I just got it off my chest: What’s the point of living in a neighborhood watching a bunch of kids grow up if they can’t house sit by the time they’re old enough? And now that I’m saying it out loud, what’s the point of birthing my own children if they just grow up and move away and can’t house sit because they’re in college or living in apartments of their own? This is what happens when kids don’t drive. I’m just sayin’. I’m not bitter or anything.

Air Force Airman Connor T. Nelson graduated from basic military training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, San Antonio, Texas. Nelson completed an intensive, eight-week program that included training in military discipline and studies, Air Force core values, physical fitness, and basic warfare principles and skills. Nelson earned distinction as an honor graduate. He is the son of Jack V. Nelson and Michelle M. WilkinsonNelson of Prairieville, La., brother of Katherine Nelson of Nashville, Tenn., grandson of Raymond and Fran Wilkinson of Fircrest, Wash., and nephew of Rebecca Wilkinson of Maple Valley. He is a 2012 graduate of Curtis Senior High School in University Place.
I sat in my big red chair one morning last week eating breakfast, drinking my first cup of coffee and gazing out the window, watching the parade of teen cars go by. My daughter, of course, pulled out from in front of our house several minutes before the others as she has farther to go. Then the boy next door pulled out about 10 minutes later, with the boy living next door to him on his bumper. Bam, bam, bam. Three teens, in three cars, in three houses right in a row. The irony of this scenario for me is that the two kids living closest to us are going to the same place, two miles from our street. Both have cars and are driving that short distance, but my daughter, who goes to the farthest school and whose friends live furthest away, has no friends who are driving. The only one who does lives in a different city, goes to a different school and does not have a car at her disposal. What this means for us is that my daughter or I are always picking up her friends to bring them here or take them places. The same was true when my oldest was in high school.

Obama’s mistakes in foreign policy
President Obama has made three major mistakes in regard to foreign policy. First, U.S. intervention in Libya destroyed a government that, while corrupt, was structured in such a way as to tamp down on the Islamists. Now, the Islamists are threatening Libya and neighboring Mali, forcing the French to intervene. The lack of an autocratic dictator like Qadaffi has helped bring about Islamist extremism in the region. Obama’s second mistake was when he threatened to attack Syria’s Assad over chemical bacterial weapons being used on civilians and hesitated when Assad called his bluff and used them. Fortunately for the president, Russian President Putin came to his rescue and got al-Assad to agree to give up Syria’s chemical stockpile. The president’s third major mistake was to encourage Ukraine to move toward the West in the name of human rights and self-determination. This threatened Russia’s historic need for a buffer between the European peninsula and Russia. Obama instead should have pushed the Ukrainians toward accommodating the Russians by remaining unaligned. Putin would have allowed the Ukrainians to remain democratic and independent as long as they didn’t push to ally with the European Union. Neither the U.S. nor western Europe are willing to send soldiers to defend Ukraine when that country is part of Russia’s “near-abroad.” The Russians have both tactical and strategic superiority due to their proximity to Ukraine. Defending Ukraine short of World War III is impossible. President Obama is correct, however, in regard to dealing with the Islamic State. IS is not an existential threat to the United States. In other words, our existence is not threatened by its rise. IS is, however, a threat to the region, but Obama’s refusal to put “boots on the ground,” other than as advisers to the Iraqis, is a brilliant decision. By the U.S. refusal to send in American soldiers, the Shia-dominated Iraqi government had to change their abusive policy toward both In Focus

Keep Russell Ridge open When I was younger, I was at Glacier Park Elementary and I was diagnosed with dyslexia. When I was diagnosed, my mom told me that I would be going to a new school that had better classes and a different schedule for me. I have had a tutor every week and the schedule works. That school is Russell Ridge. Now that the school district is shutting down my school, I do not know where I will go and I will miss my friends very much. My parents will come up with a plan but to save them the extra trouble, please don’t shut it down. It is amazing and so fun to be at. My teachers have been
the minority Sunnis and the Kurds. The Iranians have been forced to intervene to help fellow Iraqi Shias. Sunni Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Qatar have also had to come to Iraq’s aid to protect their own nations. Sunni Turkey is also being forced to intervene, but only reluctantly and gradually. This will force the Turks to have to deal with their neighbor Iran rather than expect the U.S. to do the heavy lifting. Turkey will eventually be forced to become a major regional power in the Middle East. Israel does not like the shift in U.S. policy, especially dealing with Iran. Prime Minister Netanyahu’s recent speech before Congress was an attempt to influence foreign policy using the Republican-controlled Congress as his wedge. The Republicans in Congress are threatening the president’s ability to deal with the Iranians through their interference in foreign diplomacy. Obama’s attempt to come to agreement with Iran over nuclear weapons is the best thing for the U.S. and the region. Historically, Iran has been a better ally than an enemy. Iran can be that way again, if the U.S. can get an agreement with them over nuclear weapons. The U.S. focus should really be toward the rise of China. Obama’s pivot into the Asian Pacific is the right move for the U.S. The president’s
strategy is to strengthen alliances with the string of island nations that hem in China on its Pacific side: Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines and Indonesia. President Obama’s guidebook is Machiavelli’s “The Prince.” As Machiavelli noted, nations need to be realistic about their strengths and weaknesses. The U.S. should seek a balance of power all over the world, letting our allies do the fighting, if necessary. What the U.S. must do is remain above the regional issues in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. We must only intervene with U.S. troops, and our treasure, when our interests are in danger and they pose an existential threat to us. This is the only really realistic foreign policy the U.S. can maintain over long periods of time. The U.S. does not have unlimited power. We must use our great power carefully and cautiously, remembering our allies, and respecting our enemies. While President Obama has made major mistakes in Libya, in Syria, and in Ukraine, he is acting wisely in Iraq and Syria, and with Iran. We need to let the President do his job without Congressional interference. The U.S. as the only superpower will continue to make mistakes, but President Obama overall has done an excellent job in foreign affairs.

[ CLOSE from page 1] Kevin Patterson, director of communications for the district, said they will most likely schedule those public hearings in April. He said specific dates and times will be available soon. When asked about the district’s policy of involving the public prior to a decision being made on a school closure, Tahoma School Board President Tami Henkel said they did follow procedure. “We’ve been talking about this since October 2012,” she said in a phone interview. In 2013, the board did a viability update on the center to evaluate whether to continue the program or not. All the students at Russell Ridge attend the program part time while attending classes both on site and off site. The current requirement is the Tahoma School District students attending Russell Ridge must add up to a minimum of 50 percent of the total full-time enrollment at the school. Currently there are 99 students attending Russell Ridge, which equals 68.48 full-time equivalent students. There are 51 Tahoma students equalling 36.26 full-time equivalent students, which is 53 percent of the total. At the Sept. 12, 2014 meeting, the school board changed that criteria to align better with a cost-neutral format, Henkel said. The board’s decision was to incrementally increase the Tahoma full-time enrollment requirement over the next three years. It would go from requiring 50 percent Tahoma full-time students in 2014-15 to 55 percent in the 2015-16 school year, 65 percent the following year and then landing at 75 percent for the 2017-2018 school year. Morrow said the decision to close Russell Ridge came after looking at a number of different factors, not just head counts. “The governor’s current budget,” Morrow said, “is calling for implementing (Initiative) 1351 at the primary grades.” Initiative 1351 directs the legislature to “allocate funds to reduce class sizes and increase staffing support for students in all K-12 grades.” He said if that happens, the district will be short 43 classrooms and the same number of teachers next year. He said they will be short five elementary classrooms next year even without implementing Initiative 1351, which was passed by voters in the November 2014 election by about

Further information on the commission can also be found on our website at www.covingtonwa.gov/city_government/ artscommission.html.

40,000 votes. Initiative 1351 directs the legislature to “allocate funds to reduce class sizes and increase staffing support for students in all K-12 grades.” The initiative’s original language states kindergarten through third-grade class sizes would be reduced to 17 and fourth through 12th-grade class sizes would be reduced to 25. The reductions are even higher if more than 50 percent of enrolled students live in poverty. The fiscal impact to the state if all aspects of the initiative were to be implemented is estimated to cost about $4.7 billion through 2019. With those budget constraints, Morrow said they had to look at whether the Russell Ridge Center was going to be cost effective to keep running. The center, located on the campus of Cedar River Middle School, is an alternative education program that currently serves 99 students in and around the school district’s boundaries. Morrow described it as a home school co-op. It opened in 1995 and serves as a way for home schooled children, grades Kindergarten through eighth grade, to get personalized in-class experience and socialization with other students. The students do some classes on-site and some off-site. Lori Roberts, mother to three kids, two of which are students at Russell Ridge and one who would enroll next year, said the letter from Morrow came as a complete surprise. “It feels like every spring the risk of this comes up, so we do talk to the board,” she said in a phone interview. “We were kind of surprised that the board gave us no indication that we would have to… fight for the school.” Other parents shared similar reactions. Larry Baldwin, whose two daughters attend Russell Ridge, said he appreciates the strain the district and school board are under, but wishes the discussion was more of a collaboration between administrators and parents. Kara Reynolds, a mother to a former Russell Ridge student, wrote in an email to the school district the flexible schedule and personalized curriculum helped her son, Benicio Narciso, during his cancer treatment.

Reynolds and her son came from British Columbia to the Maple Valley area early last year, she wrote. Shortly after, her son was diagnosed with a brain tumor. After deciding to stay in this area permanently, Reynolds said she started looking at options for schools for her son. She first planned to enroll him at Shadow Lake Elementary after a recommendation from her sister. But, because her son had been in and out of school for treatment, he had missed a lot of third grade. Reynolds wrote in the letter her son needed a part-time program because of the side effects from radiation and the toll it took on him. “A traditional school would not work for us right now,” she wrote. “He needed a slow entry into the community.” She said she wasn’t expecting Russell Ridge to be anything more than the average school environment. But, she said she was surprised. “The environment is smart, well attended to, creative, organized and very welcoming,” she wrote. Her son started at Russell Ridge, attending six hours per week, and by the end of the year was attending nine hours per week. “He made friends, he was challenged, and he had a schedule to stick to that was not overwhelming or impossible for him,” Reynolds wrote. Now, her son has moved on to a more conventional school. But, she said, Russell Ridge “was a perfect gateway for him to get back into the regular school system.” Henkel said the school board is open to new ideas and hopes someone comes to them with a “brilliant idea” that could solve the problem. “Our board is always open to hearing what our families have to say,” she said. “We really do like to collaborate with our community.” In the end, though, Henkel said they have to think about the whole picture. “We really do have a responsibility to our district as a whole,” she said.

Consider all your shady places overcast days and many gardeners struggle to add color to areas of dry shade. Cedar trees are the worst for sucking the moisture out of soil and creating garden areas where nothing attractive wants to grow.

bold foliage shrubs fell out of fashion. Nurseries are once again selling these two drama queens because not only do they light up the darkness with bright foliage, berries and blooms but they do this without demanding a lot of drink. Divas that add drama without the drinking problems are always welcome at any gathering. Next add some mid-height blooming perennial plants. There are not many perennials that can compete with the tree roots of cedar, fir and hemlock but if you add six inches of topsoil or compost and work this into the soil you can enjoy hardy cyclamen, Japanese anemone, euphorbia, hosta and, surprisingly, a peony or two.

least a few hours of sun a day and some water to get them established. Watering new plants in dry shade is especially important during that first summer season as the roots become established. Start with something tall – native vine maples or dogwoods fit into a wooded area of native cedar and hemlock with ease – but if you have enough space free of tree roots you can also add Japanese maples or even a tall evergreen like the shade tolerant yew. You can make a bold splash in dry shade by adding an evergreen shrub called Japanese aralia or Fastia Japonica. Large, shiny leaves give it a tropical look. Another broadleaf evergreen for dry shade is Aucuba, especially the gold-spotted cultivar called Mr. Goldstrike. Both Fastia and Aucuba were popular shrubs near shaded front entry areas in the 1950s, then these

…Pampered Pets
Spring is here. Your freshly-planted annuals look great. You go into the house to wash up. A few minutes later Fido paws at the door to come inside and his feet are covered in fresh dirt. You rush past him to see an enormous hole where your pansies once stood. What can be done about digging dogs? It’s true. Some dogs will dig to imitate their owners. For a few families eliminating the digging is as simple are keeping the dog out of view during planting and weed-pulling periods. For most pet owners, though, digging can be more problematic. Dogs dig for several reasons, including: imitation; physical and mental boredom; genetics (terriers were bred to dig); access to something desirable (another dog on the other side of the fence or inside the house with you); interesting or exciting stuff in the dirt (cat poop, moles, etc.); cool or warmth (depending ambient temperature). The first way to deal with digging is determine the reason the dog digs. If you own a terrier, the easiest solution may be to give the dog a specific place to play in the dirt. If your dog is digging randomly around the yard, is he going after something or is he just bored? Think prevention, redirection and exercise. If Fido’s holes are next to the fence or the house, he may be trying to escape the yard. Figure out why to truly fix the problem. You can prevent a dog from digging in a certain areas with standard or invisible-type fences. A clearly-defined boundary and daily reinforcement training on a leash or long line can help a dog understand to stay out of your vegetable garden. Sometimes a section of chicken wire placed on top of the grass or dirt where the dog likes to dig is enough of a deterrent. Some owners have success with a thick layer of black pepper as a deterrent, while others only find success after months of spying on their dogs and catching them in the act. Figure out why your dog digs. Then apply the principles of prevention and redirection, along with additional mental and physical stimulation until your dog understand “No Holes Allowed!”

All my clients and anyone who reads my articles know I am a huge proponent of preventative care and I feel diet is an important part of any pet’s health. I try to discuss a pet’s diet at every annual exam. I also try not to have “Soap boxes” but after one of my friends brought her dog to me and later told me she was surprised by how emphatic I became when talking about pet food, I realized I do have a “Pet Food Soap Box.” Let’s face it, there is a huge emotional component attached to feeding your pet and it is a multi-billion dollar industry. There are lots of buzz words advertisers use to play on the emotion of pet owners to encourage you to buy their food. Let’s talk about the dreaded words “by-product.” It has more than 4 letters, but is spoken in pet food circles with the same disdain as another dietary 4 letter word: CORN. I agree, the thought of by-products isn’t pretty. It’s the part of the animal that we don’t want to eat, but still contains nutrients. Now I don’t want to eat a big plate of by-products, but other cultures may routinely eat what our culture thinks of as byproducts. When the by-products look like a kibble, I cannot tell the difference between a kibble containing by-product and one without. Now I do have one rule when it comes to by-products, it has to have the name of what animal it came from listed in the ingredients. I don’t want generic “meat” by-product, because I don’t know what kind of animal protein it contains. This is especially important when a pet has allergies, I need to know what protein the pet has been exposed to in order to avoid further exposure in any new diet. What I find interesting is so many pet stores speak against by-products in food, but sell by-products in their natural form. Hooves, bones, antlers, bully sticks ( a nice word for a part of the male anatomy), pig ears and rawhide. It seems a little contradictory, they tell customers don’t buy food with by-products, but have huge bins of by-products in the form which can cause much more risk to a pet’s health. I routinely see dogs with fractured teeth, intestinal upset and even intestinal obstruction from chewing on hooves, bones and most recently antlers. One of my favorite sayings I learned from a veterinary dentist was,“Don’t let your dog chew on anything you wouldn’t want to be hit in the knee with.” A good philosophy if you don’t want to pay a big vet bill for a tooth extraction. I have yet to see a dog break his tooth on a dog kibble with or without by product. When I present my clients with an estimate for extraction of the tooth that was broken from chewing on one of these by-products I often joke that the pet store should tape my card to the hard item, so they can call me when the tooth breaks. I should come clean, I too contradict myself in a way, I will feed a diet with by-product, but I will not feed hooves, antlers, bones, pig ears or bully sticks to my dogs. But then again, I have extracted enough teeth, removed enough bones and hooves from intestines and dealt with gi upset from pig ears enough to know I don’t want to risk those complications in my pet. All in all, whether or not you choose a diet that contains by-product or not is a decision you have to be comfortable with and I encourage you to discuss your choices with your pet’s veterinarian to find out what is best for your pets. I do hope this article makes you think a little bit more about reading pet food labels and what you let your dog chew on. The Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) has comprised a list of approved dental products for pets available at VOHC.org. I also have a link posted from my website.

While it’s fairly common for a dog to become infected with an internal or external parasite at some point, early treatment is crucial. A harmless parasite left untreated could eventually cause a lifethreatening illness for your dog and pose a health risk to your family. FOCUS ON PREVENTION FIRST Preventative medicine is a much better option than costly treatments later. Getting your puppy or dog vaccinated and de-wormed regularly allows her immune system to thrive. Adult dogs also benefit from fecal examinations - which allow your veterinarian to diagnose parasites not controlled by monthly medications. BRING YOUR DOG IN FOR AN ANNUAL CHECKUP Bringing your dog to your veterinarian for regular parasite checkups is one of the most important things you can do to keep your dog, and your family, healthy. We offer different programs specifically designed for your dog’s stage of life. Schedule an appointment to find out more.

There are many parasites that can be harmful to your dog’s health. Let’s take a closer look at some of them: HEARTWORMS Though they are one of the most dangerous parasites in dogs, heartworms are extremely preventable. They are transmitted by mosquitoes and live in the heart and blood vessels of the lungs. Heartworm infection can affect many different organs of the dog but signs of heart and lung disease are most common. ROUNDWORMS Roundworms can be contracted in many different ways, frequently from a mother to her unborn puppy. Because there are so many ways for your dog to be infected with roundworms, they are very easy to spread. It is essential to keep your dog’s living area clean and prevent them from eating wild animals. HOOKWORMS The name “hookworm” is derived from the hook-like mouth-parts these parasites use to anchor themselves on the lining of the intestinal wall. Puppies should be treated for hookworm at 2,4,6 and 8 weeks of age due to the high rate of hookworm infection in newborn puppies. TAPEWORMS Tapeworms are long, flat worms that attach to your dog’s intestines. Dogs commonly contract tapeworms from fleas, mice and other rodents and segments of the worms are often found in on your dog’s rear or in their feces. Though there are few symptoms associated with tapeworms, it is still important to treat them as soon as possible. WHIPWORMS The whipworm is a common intestinal parasite in dogs. The parasites reside in the cecum, where the small intestine and large intestine meet. Whipworms can be difficult to diagnose because there are few signs of infection, so regular checkups are important. Three Ways to Protect Your Dog Against Parasites

District Hires New General Manager Green River Following the retirement of Gwenn Maxfield, the Board of Filtration Treatment Water Commissioners appointed Thomas Keown as the District’s General Manager. He assumed the helm on Is On-Line February 2, 2015. Beginning January 9, 2015 filtered water from the Green River is being supplied to the Regional Water Supply System (RWSS)! Covington Water District, along with partners Tacoma, Kent and Lakehaven Utility District, have completed a monumental project to construct a water treatment facility near Howard Hansen Dam on the Green River.The facility now delivers filtered surface water to communities in the south sound area.
For the District, among his many duties, Tom is focusing on the following priorities: promoting growth of the District with developers and local agencies, utilizing advanced technology to improve service delivery and customer satisfaction, developing the workforce to meet new technological skills needed in the utility, and developing business models based on the USEPA infrastructure management framework so the District can continue to provide reliable service for current customers as well as for generations to come. Tom received his Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from Seattle University. He is a licensed professional engineer in the State of Washington with over 20 years of experience ranging from management, planning and design work both as a utility manager and as a consultant. Before coming to the District, Tom was a management consultant with a focus on optimization of utility’s capital and O&M expenditures. Tom is active in several professional water and engineering related organizations such as AWWA, Engineers Without Borders and Water For People. He is married with three children and his private interests including rooting for the Seahawks, travel and exploring nature. Welcome, Tom!

quality and quantity of safe drinking water to the consumer.
The Department of Health (DOH) routinely conducts a sanitary survey of each state approved public water system on a revolving basis at least once every three years. A sanitary survey is a periodic inspection of water system facilities, operations and records, which is used to identify conditions that may present a sanitary public health risk. Comprehensive sanitary surveys are important practices, which help water systems protect public health by supplying water to their customers that meet or exceed water quality regulations. They are conducted to evaluate:
A DOH sanitary survey was conducted at the District on October 28, 2014 and focused on water sources and treatment facilities. We are proud to announce that no significant deficiencies or issues were observed, with the DOH representative noting a very positive impression of the level of professionalism exhibited by staff.
1. The capability of a drinking water system to consistently and reliably deliver an adequate
2. The system’s compliance with federal and state drinking water regulations. 3. Deficiencies that may create risks of water contamination.
It is the District’s primary goal to provide our customers with consistent, reliable and safe drinking water and to do so in a fiscally responsible manner. It is apparent that in the eyes of our regulating agency, DOH, that we are doing a good job. unprotected cross connections. These cases have caused instances of illness, injury, and in some cases, death, to consumers served by a water system.
Cross-Connections – What Are They and Why Do We Care? A cross connection is defined as any actual or potential physical connection between a public water system or the consumer’s water system and any source of non-potable liquid, solid, or gas that could contaminate the potable water supply by backflow. Cross connections may exist in any plumbing system. Cross connections may also exist in the purveyor’s water system facilities. A cross-connection occurs whenever a potable drinking water line is directly or indirectly linked with a non-potable piece of equipment or piping. Examples of non-potable equipment typically found in a business include dishwashers, wash basins, service sinks, beverage dispensing machines, cooling towers, heat exchangers, ice makers, irrigation systems, fire sprinkler systems, decorative ponds, X-ray equipment, medical/laboratory aspirators, photo processing equipment, etc.
The task of eliminating all cross connections can be enormous. As a result, Covington Water District has implemented a strong Cross-Connection Control Program (CCCP), as required by Washington Administrative Code 246-290-490. The District’s CCCP requires its customers to: substances back into the consumer’s plumbing system and/or public water system. Backflow, in the form of back-siphonage or back-pressure is caused by a negative pressure in the supply line, which may occur when a water main breaks or during firefighting when drawing a large amount of water through fire hydrants. Most water systems in the United States and Canada have good sources of water and/or sophisticated treatment plants to convert impure water to meet rigid drinking water standards. Millions of dollars are spent to make the water potable before it enters public water distribution systems. However, once it reaches the distribution system drinking water can become polluted or contaminated through uncontrolled crossconnections.
Pollutants or contaminants may enter the drinking water system through uncontrolled cross-connections when backflow There are numerous well-documented cases across the occurs. Backflow is the unwanted flow of non-potable country where drinking water has been contaminated via
• Install a backflow assembly if there is an existing or potential cross-connection. • Have the backflow assembly tested annually after installation, thereafter, and/or if the assembly is moved or repaired. • Have the assembly tested by a state certified Backflow Assembly Tester and send the initial and annual test reports to the District. • Repair backflow assemblies when they are not working properly. As a reminder, all annual backflow assembly test reports are due to the District by June 30th of each year. If you are a customer with a cross-connection control device, you will be receiving notices in March and early June reminding you to test your backflow assembly(s). 1275868

Falcons baseball starts league play BY SARAH WEHMANN
Reporter
COACHING CHANGES Football season may not start until the fall but a number of changes with staffing came Friday. After 11 seasons of coaching at Kentwood, Rex Norris announced his retirement. Norris is leaving to pursue an opportunity at Serevi Rugby in Seattle. And the Kentlake Falcons also announced a change at head coach. Brett Thompson will make the transfer after spending seven years as an assistant at Tahoma. A full story regarding both coaching changes will run in the next issue of The Reporter.
The Kentlake Falcons baseball team is three games into the season and hold a 1-2 record. The Falcons lost its last game Friday, 1-0 to Mount Rainier. Coach Brett Jaime is in his second year of coaching at Kentlake. Jaime said the Falcons haven’t talked much about the postseason yet
but rather the process of improving each day. “I expect my team to prepare hard, have great practices and play a good brand of baseball,” he said. Jaime said the team is a senior heavy team and they are looking to improve from last season. He also said the team graduated strong players but “we have a lot of good ballplayers coming back.” [ more FALCONS page 10 ]

Hat tricks help secure win Monday Hudson Taylor and Brody Sullivan connected for hat tricks as Tahoma broke a half-time stalemate wide open with five unanswered goals in the third on the way to a 14-6 boys high school lacrosse defeat of Curtis, Monday at Tahoma High School in Covington. After falling behind 4-1 in the first, Tahoma put up four of its own in the second while giving up one to knot the game 5-5 at the half. But a five-goal third and lights-out defensive play put the Vikings on their heals. With a 10-5 lead heading into the final set, Tahoma kept the pressure on allowing just one down the stretch, while putting up four more goals for the Bears second victory of the
spring. Taylor finished the night with three goals and an assist for four points and had six ground balls to lead all scorers, while Sullivan netted three goals and an assist for four points and grabbed six ground balls. Curtis saw single goals from six Vikings including Marcus Knight, Josh Wirtz, Gaven Haley, AJ Hormann, Stephen Springer, and TJ Banks. Tahoma (2-2-0) faced Mount Si (1-1-0) Thursday.

Current Employment Opportunities at www.soundpublishing.com
STAFF WRITER Seattle Weekly is seeking a Staff Writer to join its editorial team and help chronicle the fastest growing city in the U.S. The Staff Writer will be responsible for contributing high-quality news and feature stories with a focus on in-depth reporting and narrative storytelling. The right candidate will be somebody who feels more at home in the field rather than in front of a screen. In other words, if you think stringing tweets together can pass as a story, or prefer to conduct interviews over e-mail, this is not the job for you. This Staff Writer will be someone adept at, and perhaps addicted to, covering local politics and social-justice issues, but who can also sniff out the odd story about emergent trends in the tech sector or the city’s sports culture. She or he will come to every editorial staff meeting with two or three new ideas for stories, and will walk away frustrated if the editor only bites on one. Seattle Weekly is committed to delivering exceptional content to our readers each week, which means that the right candidate will know how to properly nurture a story, working closely with an editor on multiple rewrites to produce a piece that readers will enjoy, respect, and share, even if they disagree with it. He or she will be patient enough to let a story develop, but will also be capable of executing an unreasonably quick turnaround, and will be impeccable in observing deadlines. And the Staff Writer will excel at crafting long-form features, though he or she will also be able to deliver impactful, thoroughly reported accounts in just 800 words. Since Seattle is an unusually competitive market, the Staff Writer will need to possess an ability to uncover stories that readers won’t find anywhere else. Second only to that is an insatiable desire to find a new angle on a well-trod story, revealing something new about a subject that other reporters might think is over and done with. She or he must be able to talk to people who don’t want to tell their story, or who maybe think they don’t have a story to tell. The right candidate will be smart enough to find the right sources and brave enough to ask the next, tougher question.
Production/Labor
The Staff Writer will also be a delight to work with—serious about the task at hand, but able to contribute to a convivial office environment and to participate in group projects with consideration, honesty, and enthusiasm.
A ,5,9(3 '692,9 - Press - Everett
And, most important, the Staff Writer must possess the ability to surprise her or his editor. If you are used to setting the bar high and then clearing it with ease, this could very well be the job for you.

the trees. A quick shortcut is to cover the ground under large trees with wood chips. Then set some pots on top of the mulch and grow flowers in containers. Impatiens, begonias, lobelia and fuchsia will all bloom in the shade – but do not expect these annuals to compete with tree roots. They are best grown in pots or in a raised bed around large trees. Finally, fill in the floor of the woodland garden with groundcovers. If you fear aggressive groundcovers but want to avoid weeding any open space in a woodland or dry shade garden, consider using Vinca minor, creeping Jenny or my personal favorite, lamium, as a colorful carpet. These groundcovers will become a growing nuisance in any soil that is fertile or moist but in dry shade they will slowly spread to smother weeds and hide fallen debris. Don’t be afraid to cut them back or even use a string trimmer to remove
old or tatty foliage of established groundcovers in the spring. Cutting the tops off of groundcovers and then adding a thin layer of moodoo, bark chips or topsoil is a good way to renew these plants no matter where they grow.
