Covington gains sister city from Japan
Tahoma board votes to close Russell Ridge

During the June 30 City Council special meeting, the city of Covington and Tatsuno, Japan joined together as sister cities. City Manager Regan Bolli said he had spent the day prior to the meeting touring with a delegation from Tatsuno. During the special meeting, a letter of intent was signed by COVINGTON Covington’s Mayor Margaret Harto and the mayor of Tatsuno. “We have longed to have a sister city relationship for some time and the timing was finally right for us,” Harto said. “We are so excited to be able to forge this new connection with Tatsuno, Japan. This city-to-city connection will
At the June 30 meeting the Tahoma School Board unanimously voted to close Russell Ridge Center. The school was an alternative learning experience (ALE) program or school. Some of the students who attended Russell Ridge are part time and some are full time. Once the 2015-16 school year starts, those students will have to find another option MAPLE for their educaVALLEY tion. The closing of the school has been a hot topic in Maple Valley since a letter from Superintendent Rob Morrow was sent to Russell Ridge parents in March of this year, announcing the closure of the school. School board President Tami Henkel said in a phone interview in

The history of Old Glory BY RAY STILL Reporter
It was a turning point in the war. George Washington had just crossed the Delaware River, capturing the town of Trenton from British-allied German forces and defending the town against a counterattack led by the Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis in the dawning days of 1777. It was that summer when the Continental Congress adopted the official stars and stripes of America, signing the official resolution on June 14 to accept the red, white and blue colors as the flag of the new country. But it would be another 172 years before President Harry Truman would officially
declare June 14 as Flag Day in the U.S. on Aug. 3, 1949, and between the early years of the revolutionary war and the height of the second Red Scare, Old Glory went through many changes before becoming what we see today.
EARLY YEARS Even before the Continental Congress officially accepted an early variation of the stars and stripes, revolutionary troops hoisted similar colors in battle. Known as the Congress Colors or the Grand Union Flag, it had 13 red and white alternating stripes to represent the 13 colonies. Instead of stars in the corner on a blue field, though, the flag wore the Union flag of
England, with the red cross of St. George of England and the white cross of St. Andrew of Scotland. The stars replaced the Union Flag when Congress adopted the official flag in 1777. “The flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white,” the resolution read, “and that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field representing a new constellation.” However, the resolution did not specify how the stars were to be arranged, so many flags had different patterns of stars during those early years. Some flags had no pattern for the stars, while others were already being arranged into rows. One of the most recognizable early flags, though, is the Betsy Ross flag, known for arranging the 13 stars in a circle. Although Betsy Ross is credited with making the first American flag, historians claim
[ more CLOSING page 3 ]
her version of the American flag didn’t appear until the early 1790s. However, it is also known Betsy Ross made flags for the Pennsylvania state Navy in 1777. The claim that Betsy Ross made the first flag started in 1870 by one of her grandsons, who was certain he remembered Congress approaching his grandmother to make a flag from a design George Washington himself drew in their back parlor.
STARS AND STRIPES When Kentucky and Vermont were brought into the Union, another resolution was passed by Congress to expand the flag to 15 stripes and 15 stars. It was this flag that Francis Scott Key saw when he wrote, “The Star-Spangled Banner” in 1814. In 1818, President James Monroe signed a bill reducing the number of stripes back to 13 [ more GLORY page 9 ]

Firefighters spend holiday weekend fighting flames BY SARAH BRENDEN Reporter
It is no mystery the weather over the last month has been hotter than many Western Washingtonians are used to. And the hot, dry weather didn’t take a break on July 4. While a number of people flocked to various city-run firework shows, there were still plenty of residents setting off their own. On Saturday alone, Maple
Valley Fire & Life Safety firefighters responded to 15 brush fires. This is up from last year, Fire Marshal Scott Webster said. Last year, Maple Valley only had one fire related call on the Fourth of July. An approximately 5-acre fire broke out at the Elk Run Golf Course. Maple Valley along with Kent Fire and Mountain View Fire & Rescue contained the fire within two
hours. Crews remained on scene for seven hours to extinguish hot spots. Firefighters continue to return to the spot of the fire to extinguish hot spots. There were no injuries and the cause remains under investigation but is believed to be from fireworks. The Kent Regional Fire Authority also responded to a number of calls over the holiday weekend. From 8 a.m. July 4 until
8 a.m. July 5, Kent Fire received 197 total calls. Eighty one of those calls were fire related including brush, structure, vegetation, and grass.
Maple Valley Fire and Life Safety responded to a brush fire at the Elk Run Golf Course around 2:50 p.m. Saturday. Community member Jim Travis sent photos to The Reporter of the blaze (photos are top and bottom right). Another brush fire broke out on a trail behind KeyBank in Four Corners around 3:30 p.m. Saturday. Mark Fasano and other citizens fought the fire until crews could arrive on scene.

Roots are what keep a tree grounded, keep it steady and help it to grow tall. Roots are also history – the lessons learned from both positive and negative experiences. One way the city of Black Diamond remembers its roots is the annual Miners Day celebration, which is set for Saturday. There will be an array of activities to celebrate the history of Black Diamond. “It’s not just about what’s old,” said Mira Hoke the community outreach coordinator. “It’s about the future and
[ CLOSING from page 1] March the board had been talking about closing Russell Ridge since October 2012. In 2013, the board did a viability update on the center to evaluate whether to continue the program or not. Kevin Patterson, spokesperson for the district, said the board members arrived at their decisions independently, with little group discussion. Each one gave a statement at the June 30 meeting with their response to the agenda action item, “Approve closure of Russell Ridge Center.” Patterson said, “The board weighed this decision very seriously.”
where the town is going.” While Black Diamond used to be rich in coal, it is still very rich in cultural history. Black Diamond was one of the main providers in the coal industry. Black Diamond created a lifestyle around mining, even the buildings and city layout was set up to support the miners. Miners Day activities begin with a 7 a.m. breakfast at the Black Diamond Bakery. The Coal Miners Classic 5K runwalk begins at 9 a.m. at 25551 Lawson Ave. Artists will be competing in Chalk
Larry Baldwin, a parent of two Russell Ridge students, said in an email Monday he was “extremely frustrated” by the board’s decision. Baldwin said, “…in my opinion, the board used their power to defend the district administration instead of seeing that keeping Russell Ridge open had no adverse effect on the district, but a close vote did.” Patterson said the students who attended Russell Ridge have three options: attend their neighborhood school, go to a similar ALE program at another district or be home-schooled. Baldwin said it is unlikely Russell Ridge students will attend their neighborhood schools.

“After all, roughly 75 (percent) of the Tahoma RR students came from a Tahoma school that wasn’t working for them. Thus, the district will not be receiving the funds that they were for those students,” he said. He added, “Russell Ridge families are working together to create a co-op that will be better in the long run than district led education.” The district is currently in the process of reviewing
their elementary school programs now. Patterson said once that is done, which is expected to be in early 2016, they will look at doing a “comprehensive” review and design of an ALE program. “Rather than focusing on a program that was already in place, we want to start from scratch and design an AL program that meets needs of students here and is in line with state AL standards,” Patterson said.

be a true exchange of culture for the Covington and Tatsuno communities.” The idea behind a sister city is exchange, Karla Slate, communications and marketing manager for Covington wrote in an email. Bolli said to create a sister city one must “(identify) a city that has some common interest and then (work) with them to form the relationship.” The Japanese consulate in Seattle helped to facilitate the connection between Covington and Tatsuno, Bolli said. And once the two cities had agreed to move forward, a resolution was passed, he added. “The main purpose of the relationship will be to assist in an exchange program where Tatsuno students visit Covington and Covington students visit Tatsuno,” Bolli said.

Adding words to the dictionary
Dennis Box Editor
OUR CORNER
The Oxford English Dictionary announced in June about 500 words have been added to its dictionary. The article about the added words made me all warm and fuzzy inside, as if I had just opened a gift of eight-track cassettes of C-Span’s Book TV - the greatest hits. I suspect 500 words is larger than my entire working vocabulary, unless growls, gasps and weird sounds count. (I think they do.) Here are a few of Oxford’s additions that caught my wandering attention. • Carnap - stealing a car, (not what I do while driving). It was first used as a verb in 1937 in the Helena Independent. • Gointer - It is a verb and one of my new favorites. Oxford said it is a colloquial expression for going to. Example: I am gointer regurgitate your so called food. Is this a great word or what? You say going to, I say gointer. • Koozie - It’s a noun for a sleeve to keep drinks cold (or more likely concealed). Sounds to me like the name of a hit parade 80s rock band – Koozie and Krumb Topping. • Stanky - a noun. It is the smell of a teenage boys locker room on a 90 degree day. For me there are few things more entertain-
ing than looking up the meaning of words I will never remember or be able to spell. As I scanned the list it occurred to me there are a number of words I know that for some reason are not in the Oxford dictionary. (I checked.) I have considered sending them a list of useful verbals and nounettes to add next time. Here are a few. • Whack-noodle – verb, adjective, noun, gerund, pronoun, interjection, conjunction. Often heard during off-the-record phone conversations during political season. • Wieneeworst - adjective and intransitive verb. How my brain functions in the morning.
Did you know the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the victory of Muslim holy warriors in Afghanistan helped to bring about the rise of the Islamic State? It put the secular Arab governments in the Middle East under great pressure, according to Stratfor’s George Friedman in a June 9, 2015, article called, “A Net Assessment of the Middle East.” While the Soviet Union still existed, it supported secular regimes in the Middle East, as did the U.S. With the collapse of the USSR, we see the rise of Islam as a replacement for secularism. Additionally, the Sykes-Picot agreement between Britain and France during World War I had created nation-states like Syria and Iraq, founded not on similar cultures but instead upon political expediency in dividing up the Ottoman Empire by the two colonial powers. Now, nearly 100 years later, two of these artificial nations have dissolved into their tribal and religious groups. The rise of the Islamic State crosses borders between Iraq and Syria, ending the nearly century-old division of the Ottoman Empire. According to Friedman, with the Sunni Muslim victory against the Soviets in Afghanistan, Osama Bin Laden wanted to create a pan-Islamic state. To do this he needed to provoke the United
O L E T T E R S YOUR OPINION COUNTS:
• Brillohead - some sort of noun, or maybe an interjection. A new hairstyle I am seeing around the office in Covington. • Fricasseed barf - noun, adjective, gerund. A Christmas food and how the Democrats and Republicans in Olympia described each other after the 2015 operating budget vote. I bet this is how Samuel Johnson got started writing his Dictionary of the English Language. Maybe I have stumbled upon a new calling, like a loud moo from across the field, followed by a light from above, or below, then a voice whispers in my ear: Write it and they will think you’re nuts.
States into launching a new crusade against Islam. The 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington, D.C., did exactly this as the U.S. first attacked Afghanistan and then Iraq. It was a no-win situation for the U.S. If it did nothing, it would show the U.S. as weak and vulnerable. If the U.S. invaded, then it would be viewed as the new crusader nation, bent on destroying Islam. The secular Arab nations linked to the United States would see infuriated Muslims rise up against them and overthrow these corrupt regimes. At first, after the 9/11 attack, this strategy did not appear to work. But as the U.S. got involved in nation-building in Afghanistan and Iraq, it got caught up in dealing with the tribal and religious rivalries: between Sunni and Shia, between Kurds and Shias and between Iranians and Saudis. In trying to destroy al-Qaeda, according to Friedman, the U.S. released these sub-national groups, pushing Sunni Muslims under the al-Qaeda derived I.S. to set up a caliphate (a Muslim nation led by a caliph), part of what Bin Laden had hoped and planned for nearly 15 years. Because of these events, the U.S. had to change its strategy by pulling out of Iraq and Afghanistan. President Obama’s new strategy is to not interfere with the various factions fighting each other. Instead, the U.S. government aids its allies, the Kurds and the Iraqi Government, to fight I.S.
The four major regional powers – Saudis, Iranians, Turks and Israelis – are involved in this caldron of conflict. Each has its own agenda and concerns. The Saudis see I.S. as an existential threat, but they also are rivals with Shia Iran. The Saudis quietly cooperate with the Israelis. Iran doesn’t want the Sunni Islamic State to continue because it threatens Iranian dominance in the region, but Iran would also like to topple its chief rival, Saudi Arabia, another World War I-created nation. The Turks want to become the dominant regional power. This country has been more willing to allow for I.S. than for the continuation of al-Assad’s continued rule in Syria. The Turks and Israelis are repairing their alliance in the midst of this chaos. The Israelis are both elated and terrified. They are elated because Shia Hezbollah is diverted fighting in Syria as an ally of al-Assad and Iran, but they are terrified at the possibility that I.S. might take control of Syria, a much worse outcome than al-Assad’s regime. Dealing with geopolitics of the Middle East is a tricky and dangerous game. Which of the four major regional powers will emerge as dominant in this caldron remains to be seen. Getting the best outcome becomes a difficult problem for the one superpower, the U.S., requiring humility since the U.S. doesn’t have the power to bring peace to the region, and thought, knowing how to manage the different factions and sects. The collapse of the USSR solved one major problem and created the maelstrom we see today in the Middle East.

choosing just one variety. The good news is that the panicle hydrangeas will take full sun and are easier than ever to grow in our climate. Flowers grow in pointed or cone shaped clusters but instead of blue, they start out creamy white and then turn pink and peach as summer turns into fall. Panicle hydrangeas can be pruned into small trees or purchased as compact dwarf plants to grow in large pots or near the house as a long blooming foundation plant. “Pinky Winky� has enormous blooms that progress from white to bright pink, “Bobo� is a white compact dwarf at
4 feet tall and “Quick Fire� has pointed blooms that open pure white then fades to a rich red. Growing Tip: Give panicle hydrangeas at least six hours of sun a day and prune in early spring when you see the forsythia in bloom. (I learned the hard way that if you prune a panicle hydrangea in April or May you’ll have a summer with foliage but no flowers.) Keep the soil moist to lengthen the bloom time. In my garden the pee gee hydrangeas are in bloom from August until October.

BRONCHITIS People don’t often give much thought to their lungs until breathing becomes difficult. The bronchial tubes are basically the tubes that allow air to pass into and back out of the lungs. When a sickness is present in the respiratory system, and the bronchial tubes become inflamed, the condition is called bronchitis. A person with bronchitis is probably not taking breathing for granted; he or she is likely wheezing and bringing up lots of discolored, thickened mucus. Bronchitis can be chronic, meaning it is not going away any time soon, or it can be acute. Acute bronchitis often stems from a cold, while chronic bronchitis is often the result of years of smoking. Bronchitis should be evaluated by a healthcare provider, and patients with chronic bronchitis may benefit from pulmonary rehabilitation -- a breathing exercise program in which a respiratory therapist teaches them how to breathe more easily and increases their ability to exercise. For more information, please call Southlake Clinic at (253) 395-1972. Our primary care providers are part of a multi-specialty physician network, with a clinic in Covington at 27005 168th Place SE. 1350898

Enumclaw-born baker competes on Cake Wars BY ALINA MOSS
Reporter
What started as a small love of cooking for Natalie Vorpahl while growing up in Enumclaw, has led to an appearance on the Food Network Channel’s Cake Wars. Vorpahl, co-owner of Baked Custom Cakes with Kristina Sersass, said she enjoyed the once in a lifetime opportunity at the competition and the overall experience. “It was kind of a pretty crazy experience with the cameras in your face constantly. It’s nerve racking enough making a wedding cake without being filmed,” she said. Vorpahl’s love for baking and her experience with the culinary arts predates her appearance on Cake Wars. Vorpahl started baking at a young age and knew she wanted to be in the culinary field, but her love for cakes and wedding cakes in par-

Natalie Vorpahl, co-owner of Baked Custom Cakes in Seattle, grew up in Enumclaw. ticular sparked when she attended the Seattle Culinary Academy and graduated in 2006. During some of the classes that focused on the design and the art of cakes, Vorpahl discovered what she wanted to do. “I love the precision and accuracy in baking more so than cooking,” she said. After she graduated from Seattle Culinary Academy she traveled to Paris and was submerged even more in the artistry of baking and the world of cakes. When Vorpahl come back to Seattle she wanted to open a bakery of her own to share her love of the art and the delicious taste of her cakes. Vorpahl said it may seem like an odd job to make cakes all day. Sometimes she makes new cakes and sometimes she makes the same cake over and over depending on current
design trend, but Vorpahl loves what she does and it shows in the final product of the cakes. “It’s therapeutic for me,” Vorpahl said. “I like to bake. I like the precision of everything and getting all your ingredients weighed and measured out. Having a blank canvas at the beginning and matching the vision to the customer and seeing the look on their face when it is above and beyond what they expected.” One day when she was leaving a job at the Eats Market Cafe, she met a new employee, Sersass, who was filling her old position. They instantly became friends, discovering they shared a love for baking and eventually joined together to open Baked Custom Cakes in their commercial kitchen, officially opening in May 2010. Along with their culinary

talents, Vorpahl’s and Sersass’ hard work and dedication to each and every client and their custom cake led them to being a contender on the new baking show Cake Wars. Cake Wars is a televised competition to make the perfect wedding cake and put Vorpahl and Serass’ cake skills to the test. Throughout the competition the contestants have two challenges. One to bake a cake that includes the surprise secret ingredient. The other will be to include aspects from the theme of the wedding. The winner will provide the cake for the main event

Visit Rainier strives to promote the park
A journey up Mount Si BY REBECCA GOURLEY Reporter
Not everyone’s idea of a perfect day off is waking up at 5 a.m. and hiking for six hours. Usually it involves shutting off all alarms, sleeping in, enjoying a nice cup of coffee at your leisure and planning out the rest of your day. But, when you want to do a hike and avoid heat and crowds, waking up at 5 a.m. on your day off is really the only way to get the job done. Mount Si is known in this area for the spectacular view at the top and possibly one of the longest day hikes. In the early morning, the trail is entirely shaded by the mountain itself and the thick canopy of trees. This obviously makes for an
easier ascent. It’s still not an easy hike, especially for a pair of amateur hikers, but it is certainly better than leaving the bottom mid-day and arriving back at your car when it’s been in the mid 90s for several hours. The hike itself is about 8 miles roundtrip and about a 3,000-foot elevation gain. My first word of advice for anyone wanting to try to tackle this beastly hike is… take is sloooooow. Take it very slow. Especially if you’re new to big hikes. I had a goal of making it up to the base of Haystack, which is the name of the last climb (literally a climb) to the very tippy top, in less than 3 hours. I made it, with two minutes to spare. Climbing Haystack took another 40 minutes or so. We encountered a man
who passed us on the trail five times. Yes, that means he ran up and down Mount Si three times in the time it took us to do it once. That should give you an indication of how slow we were going. The man said he does it almost every weekend. So don’t go trying to run Mount Si even once unless you’re an advanced runner/hiker (crazy person). During the course of our adventure going up and down the mountain, I took note of a few things that may be helpful to the amateur hiker that wants to challenge themselves with a trip up Mount Si. First, items that you
cannot forget: sunscreen, chap stick, bug spray, self-adhesive gauze wrap, bandaids, at least two liters of water per person, high-protein energy bar (we brought Clif Builder’s bars and zucchini chips), an extra pair of socks and of course your camera or phone for a picture of the view from the top. We also saw people with walking sticks who looked like they made the climb a bit easier, whole picnic lunches and their dogs. I don’t think our cat, Gary, would have liked [ more TOP page 9 ]

[ TOP from page 7] the hike too much so we left him at home. The first few minutes of the hike are very deceiving. It starts out very flat and then quickly becomes very steep. If you can make it to the 15-minute mark without turning around and stopping for a while, you’re probably good to go the rest of the way. At a certain point, pain and being out of breath all becomes very relative. What was painful to you at the beginning of the hike becomes a piece of cake about an hour into it. Still take breaks whenever necessary because all that matters is that you make it up, not that you can do it in an hour. In the words of my boyfriend, “I’d rather take more breaks and have it take longer, than quit.”
HAYSTACK Climbing the last part can be very challenging, especially for those of us that are terrified of falling to our death (me). If
a nice spot at the top of Mount Si and call it good. The view is still pretty good from here. But, if you’re up for the challenge and for the ego-building ability to say you got to the top of Haystack, by all means keep going. Once you get to the top of Mount Si (before Haystack), the path will be over some rocks and then make a nice little turn to the back of the stack. Climbing it is easier if you stick to the left side of the slope, where there are more rocks and therefore more footholds. But, keep in mind that you will have to come back down this steep slope, which, for some people, is a lot harder and scarier than going up. The trick to going down is simple: genetics and having a low center of gravity. Or, just sit down and drag your behind along the rocks until you reach the bottom. Either way gets the job done. Again, take Haystack slow. There’s no need to rush it, the top is so close, and the fall is quite far.

to represent the original colonies. The bill also increased the number of stars to 20, and a new star would be added on the Fourth of July every year a new state was admitted into the Union. When Hawaii joined the U.S. as the 50th state in 1960, the flag we are familiar with now was first raised on July 4, 1960 at 12:01 a.m.
THE FLAG OF THE FUTURE When Puerto Rico supported a nonbinding referendum to become America’s 51st state in 2012, many people realized some major changes may need to happen to the nation’s flag in order to incorporate a new star if the
Rico into the Union. Although no official effort by the U.S. government has been made to research a new flag pattern, many social media users took it upon themselves to come up with their own unique mock-up designs. As the flag is now, there are five horizontal rows of six stars and four horizontal rows of five stars in an alternating pattern. One of the more simple flag mock-ups changes this to three horizontal rows of nine stars alternating with three rows of eight stars, totaling 51 stars. A more artful and nostalgic mock-up, perhaps drawing inspiration from
July 10, 2015 [9] Betsy Ross, places the stars in concentric circles, with the outside edge consisting of 20 stars, the next circle 15 stars, then 10, five, and a lone star filling the middle. Another flag mock-up keeps the star design the flag currently wears, but adds a 51st star to the middle row, extending the traditionally rectangular blue field with a small blue triangle that encroaches on the third, fourth and fifth stripes of the flag. Fancier mock-ups include arranging the 51 stars in overlapping diamond shapes, forming star patterns and even playing with the sizes of the stars, forming a rectangle of 50 smaller stars with one larger star in the center.
NOW OPEN! Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Plus banquet room. Perfect for Golf Tournaments, Corporate and Private events. 7 am until the last golfer leaves.
The Haystack is about a 40-minute climb when you take it really slow. Those tiny stick-looking figures at the top are people, for scale reference. REBECCA GOURLEY, The Reporter

Starting Young W
hen intimate partner violence occurs, its impacts are felt throughout the family. Between three and four million children ages 3-17 are exposed to domestic violence every year in the United States. Studies demonstrate the effects of this exposure resulting in difficulties with a child’s emotional and behavioral functioning as well as in their cognitive capacities and attitudes. It also undermines a non-abusive parent’s relationship with their child, causing undue stress and weakened authority through the eyes of the child. Exposure to domestic violence occurs in many ways: witnessing violence acts and their aftermath, hearing arguments and fighting, or even sensing the tension and fear felt by the nonviolent parent. Through this process, children internalize unhealthy and often violent tendencies for conflict resolution and relationship-building. Boys who witnessed violence during their youth are more likely to abuse their female partners as teens and adults than are those who were raised in nonviolent homes. Better access to resources can provide families the information needed to reduce impacts of violence. Children and their parents need safe options and practical tips. Local domestic violence agencies, such as the Domestic Abuse Women’s Network (DAWN), can offer this support throughout Washington State. It’s never too early to start a conversation about healthy relationships. Reaching out to a domestic violence advocate can provide you with information such as: helpful tips, relationship red flags, and empowerment-based listening skills. DAWN’s services are free, confidential, and available to anyone looking to learn about intimate partner violence. A DAWN Children’s Domestic Violence Response Team advocate is also available to provide mental health and advocacy services to children who have experienced violence at home.

Smooth Hydrangeas – Hydrangea arborescenes The leaves may be smaller but the flowers are bigger on these tough, more cold hardy hydrangeas and new varieties have strong stems that hold the huge balls of blooms upright. ‘Annabelle’ is the classic smooth hydrangea but the aptly named “Incrediball’ has even larger creamy white balls of blooms that can be 12 inches across – and the flowers are held up on strong stems that won’t flop. If you crave more color there is a pink “Incrediball Blush� and to garden for a cause look for the all pink “Invincibell Spirit� as one dollar from the sale of each hydrangea plant will go to breast cancer research. Invincibell Spirit makes a great gift plant for a patient battling breast cancer. Growing Tip: The smooth hydrangeas are rock solid when it comes to cold weather so these can handle an exposed site in full sun. Harvest the blooms all summer and into the fall as this form of summer pruning will help to shape the plant.
