Arts Council starts new campaign for pocket park Water service rights in The Villages still disputed | Part 2 BY REBECCA GOURLEY
Reporter
The Maple Valley Creative Arts Council is reaching out to the community a second time, asking for donations to fund the pocket park planned in the Lake Wilderness Village retail complex. The park would sit in the alley between QFC and Starbucks. The first time the council tried collecting donations through a crowdfunding website (Kickstarter) in December 2014, more than $23,000 was pledged by 157
people, according to the archived website, but the fund didn’t reach the then-goal of $43,000. Per Kickstarter’s rules, if the goal of the fundraiser isn’t met, none of the funds are collected from the pledgers. After the Kickstarter campaign ended on Dec. 31, members of the arts council attempted to reach out to some of the would-be donors and several of them donated their previously pledged amount, said Mary Jane Glaser, president of the Arts Council. The arts council held a launch party
for the new fundraiser, which is hosted on Indiegogo (https://www.indiegogo. com/projects/pocket-park-for-maplevalley-2-0#/story), on Friday, Aug. 28 at the location of the potential park. According to the council, $35,000 has been raised for the project so far, with a remaining $23,000 still needed. Indiegogo’s rules are different for crowdfunding projects than Kickstarter’s; if the goal isn’t reached, the money is still collected from the donors.

The Black Diamond City Council vote on the assumption ordinance was set for Thursday Editor’s note: This is part two in a series about a water service dispute between the city of Black Diamond and the Covington Water District. Both claim service rights to 98 acres inside the Black Diamond city limits. This week the article examines statements made in Black Diamond’s 2009 Water Comprehensive Plan, responses from the Covington Water District and how these may affect claims to the land. Lasts week’s article examined each entity’s claim to exclusive right to the 98 acres. BY RAY STILL Reporter

Historic float returns to Labor Day festival BY SARAH BRENDEN Reporter
As the three day weekend draws near, the city of Black Diamond prepares for its annual Labor Day festival. This year marks the 101st year the city has held the festival. According to Black Diamond Labor Day Chairman Melissa Oglesbee the earliest record showing when the festival was first held was 1914. This year patrons can expect
As the Black Diamond staff prepares Ordinance 15-1058 to officially assume water service rights to 98 acres of The Villages development, the Covington Water District is doubling down on its efforts to wrestle back control of the disputed land. If the council votes to approve the ordinance, the city will begin the official assumption, or take over, of water service rights to those 98 acres in The Villages, something Black Diamond has been attempting since at least 2008. If Black Diamond passed the assumption ordinance Sept. 3, the Covington Water Dis-

Oglesbee said there will be puttputt golf, live music, food trucks and an art show among other activities. “You don’t need to leave town on Labor Day weekend to have a really great time,” she said. Returning to the Labor Day festival this year is the Green River Queen Float. The float is more than 50 years old and “has been a showpiece that had been presented in pa-
rades around the state,” Oglesbee said. When the float returned to the Black Diamond Labor Day festival it was used as a stage. But four years ago, the Green River Queen couldn’t make the trip and hasn’t been seen since. The float has been sitting in the salvage yard of Palmer Coking Coal, Oglesbee said. She said a fund was set up to revamp the Queen but it wasn’t until this year that the float was able to be restored. Restoring the float was the work of former Black Diamond Mayor Gomer Evans. “(He) really went to town to [ more FESTIVAL page 2 ]

The council is making plans to break ground for the new park in October, with a grand opening at the beginning of November, Glaser said. The Indiegogo fundraiser will end at the beginning of October. “We have faith and confidence that people will come through,” she said. The original design for the park has changed slightly, Glaser added. They will be constructing a number of canopies to provide shelter during all weather conditions. Donations to the arts council and the project are tax-deductible.

With the help of local businesses and individuals, Evans was able to replace the engine, brakes, electrical system, railings, stairs, steering wheel and give the float a new paint job. “I think people are going to flip when they see her,” Oglesbee said. Prior to Evans taking over the restoration in May, Oglesbee said, Tom Mulvihill, Steve Israel and others had been working on the float over the last few years.

These first days/weeks of school maybe, then the darkness will settle in and the reality of summer being over will bowl them over and they’ll be rushing around in the mornings trying to get out the door on time. Soon they’ll be dragging. They still have a bit of summer to squeeze in with Labor Day weekend and another anime convention to attend. But I think next Tuesday, when the alarm goes off for school, their reality will come crashing in – “Are we still doing this?” Gretchen Leigh

Of their own volition, my youngest and her friend, who is living with us, with no prompting from me at all, packed their backpacks, laid out their clothes, made breakfast smoothies and put them in the fridge, made lunches and filled water bottles all the night before. They were in bed with lights out by 9:30 p.m., awakening at 6 a.m., showered, simultaneously put on their makeup while looking in the mirrored closet door, and got out of the house about 10 minutes early.

It was a nice way to ease into that new phase of our lives. Now all our lives have been turned upside down when everyone and then some moved home; three to five in a matter of weeks. But in just a few short months, they’ll probably be gone again to enter a new phases of their lives. Hopefully, not all at once so my husband and I can get used to the idea again.

Tattoos are increasingly popular these days, and many people have a hard time stopping at just one. While tattoos are generally considered safe, researchers are concerned that they might be more dangerous than was initially thought. Permanent tattoos are created by needles that put pigmented ink below the surface of the skin. Sometimes this process can cause an immediate allergic reaction such as a rash or swelling, other times a reaction can occur much later. Tattoos can cause scarring, infection, and granulomas, which are little bumps under the skin, and can react to MRIs. Some ink might also migrate from the tattoo to the lymph nodes. Keep in mind that there are no FDA-approved inks for tattoos. If you’re thinking about getting a tattoo, you need to know the risks so you can make an informed decision. Keep in mind that some tattoos may be impossible to remove without scarring. The skin where a tattoo has been removed never looks normal. So before getting a tattoo, make sure you want it for the long run. For more information, please call Southlake Clinic at (253) 395-1972.

Tips for a better night’s sleep Staff Writer Rebecca Gourley
I hit the snooze button way too often. Last week I’m pretty sure my average times for resetting my alarm to a later time was six. Each morning I would wake up SIX times to reset my alarm, just to get five more minutes of sleep each time. That’s insane! Sleep is important. Obviously. I think we all know that. But so many adults these days don’t get enough quality sleep. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 30 percent of adults reported getting less than or equal to 6 hours of sleep per day between 2005-2007. The CDC also stated insufficient sleep is related to chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, depression and obesity. But with the crazy busy go-go-go lives that most of us lead, it’s hard to get that required 7-8 hours every night. Why is it so hard? Our brains are stimulated so much by our daily lives and what we need to get done that it’s nearly impossible for us to shut everything down in a timely manner to actually fall asleep, stay there, and feel well rested enough to wake up on time. Recently, I’ve made a few small changes that have greatly helped me gain control of my sleeping patterns. As a result, I find I’m way more productive, alert and willing to take on the day.

OPINION
[4] September 4, 2015
1. No phones allowed
Once you turn off the main light in your bedroom, do the same with your ever-connect-
ed-to-the-web device that I know sits right by your pillow. The blue light from your phone stimulates your brain so you can’t actually fall asleep in a timely manner. If I’m laying in bed and my phone goes off and I “need” to check it, I turn on the lamp that sits next to my bed so I’m not over-stimulated by the bright light of my phone that is directly in my face.
2. Open your shades at night.
I’m guessing you go to sleep when it’s dark outside, right? Like most normal humans. So, when you go to bed, leave your curtains open. I’ve found the more gentle light of the sun (my bedroom faces west) helps me wake up easier and, more importantly, in-between REM (rapid eye movement) cycles. If I’m in a deep sleep, the sun usually won’t wake me up,
but during my light sleep, it does.
3. No caffeine right before bed I think that’s a given, right? Do I need to explain this? Nah, I think you got it.
4. Make a to-do list
Chances are one of the things that blocks you from going to sleep quickly is the list of things running through your head that you need to get done the next day. So, spend 10 minutes right before bed (with the light on) to make your to-do list for the next day. I try to do this, but it doesn’t always happen. The important part, though, is that you TRY. I use an app called SplenDO (Android). But [ more CORNER page 5 ]

Can you fill in the blanks? “We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created ______, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are _______, ________, and the __________ of_______________.” I’m guessing that almost all of you, no matter how young or how old, can fill in the blanks – with equal, Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Why do you think this is so? It’s because these words, coming from the introduction to the Declaration of Independence, define who we are as a people. It is our national identity, something that every American has internalized. These words of Thomas Jefferson are our national thesis or main idea statement and they are the spectacles from which we judge events both nationally and internationally. I have taught the Declaration of Independence to high school-aged students for nearly 40 years. One thing I learned very early: You can’t tell most Americans to do anything. You

RICH ELFERS
Polly Shepherd publisher:
The origin of human equality
have to ask them politely. Americans resist being told what to do because they believe deeply they are equal to all, even those in authority. This national attitude goes back to the American Revolution and the Declaration of Independence. Americans have never reacted well to an authoritarian approach. King George the III’s demands that American colonists pay taxes without representation didn’t set well with the colonists and they revolted. That’s why Jefferson’s ringing words resonate so strongly with us. I have found that many high school students get confused because they do not understand the term “equality.” To many of them it means that they have just as much authority and power as their teacher, their bosses or their parents. That’s not what equality means. We can be all equal under the law, but that is not saying there is no authority structure. These terms – equality, life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness – come from a period of history called the Age of Reason or the Enlightenment of the late 18th century. The man who originated them was John Locke, an English philosopher and scientist. Actually, Locke originally used the terms “life, liberty, and estate” (property). Jefferson changed the word estate to “pursuit of happiness” probably because of the influence of Sir William Blackstone, an English
jurist living at the time. (Corwin, Edward. The Higher Law Background of American Constitutional Law: P. 78 FN.) Locke had read the scientific theories of Sir Isaac Newton regarding the laws of physics of light and gravity. Newton taught that there were Natural Laws that governed the universe. Locke went one step further and turned Natural Law into Natural Rights Theory. These ideas were that all humans, whether prince or pauper, were born equal at birth, their minds being like blank clay tablets or tabula rasa. Life experiences etched that blank clay tablet in different ways, making one person a king while another could grow up begging bread. These Enlightenment ideas spread to France where they flowed yet again to the American colonies just before the American Revolution. These ideas formed the basis for what Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence and the reasons for our revolt against British tyranny. We still hold to these Enlightenment values in the 21st century; they form the basis of our scientific skepticism and our reliance on observation and reason over faith to answer life’s deeper questions. These Age of Reason ideas make us Americans who we are today, with a deep, almost religious regard for equality, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. These ideas are part of our national DNA. Pinch an American and he will react based upon these Declaration of Independence values.

trict plans to appeal the decision to the King County Boundary Review Board. The district is appealing to the review board because it believes Black Diamond misrepresented their relationship with the Covington Water District in the city’s 2009 Water Comprehensive Plan and argues the plan would not have been approved by the King County Council otherwise. “An assumption would be unfair and unjust in light of the misrepresentations made by the City in the process of getting its Water System Plan approved,” reads a letter from the Covington Water District to Black Diamond, delivered to the city council on Aug. 6. The city disagrees with the district’s claims. “The idea that the City purposely misled the County are newly minted arguments crafted many years after the City’s Water Service Area was approved (in 2009) to support Covington Water District’s (CWD) present litigation position,” wrote Seth Boettcher, Black Diamond’s Pubic Works director, in an email interview. “CWD has been consulted throughout this process, including in the development of the City’s Water System Plan, which both the County and State approved six years ago. CWD never appealed or formally objected to the language in the City’s comprehensive plan at that time.”
acre master planned development in the southwestern portion of the city. The 98 acres being fought over is located in the northwestern part of the development, just west of Morganville. According to the water district, those 98 acres are worth $5 million in water connection revenues and an additional $4 million in water consumption revenues during the next 20 years. The King County Hearing Examiner is scheduled Nov. 12 to consider whether the city or the district have exclusive rights to serve the 98 acres.
Misrepresented?
The Covington Water District claims Black Diamond misrepresented the relationship between the two entities in the city’s 2009 Water Comprehensive Plan. The district further argues that Black Diamond shouldn’t be able to assume those 98 acres because the county approved the city’s water plan because the city misrepresented their relationship with the water district. The statements in question relate to whether Black Diamond and the Covington Water District entered, or attempted to enter, into an interlocal agreement to transfer those 98 acres from district control to the city. In response to the district’s claim, Boettcher wrote in an email interview, “The City has never stated an agreement had been

committed to developing one.” In 2008, during the review process for the Water Comprehensive Plan, Black Diamond submitted drafts to King County, the Utility Technical Review Committee, the Department of Health and the Covington Water District. The first draft of the plan notes state that part of the city’s water retail service area, “is outside of the Potential Service Area as defined in the South King County Coordinated Water System Plan (SKC-CWSP),” referring to the 98 acres within The Villages. The draft continues, “It is recommended that the City immediately begin pursuing a boundary adjustment with the Covington Water District so that as development occurs in this area it is serviced by the City of Black Diamond.” The Covington Water District read this statement around Feb. 20, 2008, and asked PacWest Engineering, which prepared the Water Comprehensive Plan for Black Diamond, to provide information like street references and addresses about the 98 acres the city planned to serve. PacWest Engineering responded to the district’s questions, writing that the firm was glad the district was “aware of this issue” and that the city and the district should work with the county to adjust both water service areas so Black Diamond could serve water to the 98 acres. In response, the district proposed to trade the 98 acres for the right to serve water to two different parcels of land that lay outside the Black Diamond
city limits but inside the Covington Water District’s service area. This was the district’s official response to the city’s comprehensive plan, mailed to the city on March 7, 2008. Black Diamond told the district the city was not interested in a trade because those two parcels of land were intended to be a major commercial area for the city. This is noted in comment documents in Appendix C of the Water Comprehensive Plan. In the same document, Black Diamond stated the city and district “have reached tentative agreement to transition the area in question from the Covington Water District to the City of Black Diamond.” It is unclear whether Covington Water District received Black Diamond’s responses to the district’s comments after the district’s initial review of the comprehensive plan, with exception to the city’s refusal to the land trade. At some point in the review and drafting process, the Water Comprehensive Plan was rewritten to read, “The City and Covington Water District are cooperatively preparing an interlocal agreement reflecting this boundary adjustment.” This statement made it into the 2009 approved plan. Conversation about the disputed 98 acres between the district and the city became sparse until the district contacted the city again in 2011 after receiving the notice of application for The Villages’ Master Planned Developments. In an email dated April 27, 2011, the district asked the city if it had “discussed [ more WATER page 11 ]

HUNSTOCK HONORED WITH FINANCE OFFICER AWARD At the Maple Valley City Council meeting Monday, Aug. 24, City Manager David Johnston presented Finance Director Shawn Hunstock with the Professional Finance Officer Award in recognition for his continued professional development and achievements in the governmental finance arenas. Hunstock has received this award for nine consecutive years. Designated Washington Finance Officers Association (WFOA) professional finance officers must meet required annual criteria, submit a renewal application and receive committee approval each year without a lapse. Should a lapse occur, they are no longer eligible for future participation in the PFO program.
Susan Fergason decided to try something bold, something different. Something easy as pie. Combining her love for food and science, the creative and energetic Covington woman left the classroom for the kitchen. She recently opened Pie Lab, a homespun bakery off Southeast Kent-Kangley Road, next to Trader Joe’s, inside the Lake Meridian Marketplace. Early reviews have been good. “Awesome,” said Fergason, pausing between orders last week. “We never antici-
pated having this kind of following. We already have regular customers. One lady says she’s coming every week for a slice of pie.” The bakery’s homemade pie comes in many shapes, sizes and tastes. There’s signature strawberry, cherry and apple. There’s bacon apple, pear and bourbon peach. Soon look for fireball apple, pumpkin spice and other seasonal favorites. The secret to Fergason’s success? The foundation, the rustic pie crust. Fergason’s recipe is actually mom’s, a family formula that’s been handed down for more than 50 years. It’s
simple, and it comes from the heart. “It’s not unique,” Fergason said. “It’s delicious. It has won every dessert contest.” Fergason’s fancy for food comes from her inspirational parents. James Fergason, a physicist and inventor, taught his daughter the value of science, observation and the appreciation of a wellprepared meal. Dora Fergason taught her daughter the craft – to cook and bake with passion, using fresh, from scratch ingredients. Fergason, who grew up in California, initially chose [ more PIE page 11 ]

It’s time to celebrate shrubs
Hardy Hibiscus or Rose of Sharon Hibiscus is an oldfashioned favorite that is enjoying a new popularity due to the improvement in hardiness and the size of the blooms. August is when this heat tolerant shrub puts
on a spectacular show of color just when the rest of the garden may be winding down for the season. Your grandmother probably called this shrub the Rose of Sharon but nurseries now know it as Hibiscus Moecheutos or perennial hibiscus. The compact Luna series grows just 3 feet tall with huge blooms that can be 6 inches wide. The Disco series of hardy hibiscus grows even more compact at 2 feet tall and is perfect for patio pots. These shrubby dwarf hibiscus plants will survive our winters in Western Washington. There is also a tall shrub form of hardy Marianne Binetti

A look at the 2015 sports season BY SARAH BRENDEN Reporter
A
s fall weather returns to the Pacific Northwest and students head back to school, high school sports kicks off a new season. For the Kentwood Conquerors, Tahoma Bears and Kentlake Falcons the 2015 fall season has been underway for a week or so now. As they prepare to take the field, The Reporter looks ahead to the upcoming season with the head coaches.
Football KENTWOOD For the first time in 11 years, the Conks will be led by a new face.
Kent-Meridian and Washington State University graduate Mike Bush will lead Kentwood this season. Prior to taking over the ropes at Kentwood, he has been coaching for seven years. Last season, the Conks finished the season in first place in the South Puget Sound League Northeast division. This season, Bush “looks forward to the competition, watching kids grow and learn through sports,” he said. Due to graduation, a couple key players the Conks lost were Josiah Bronson and Kaleb Swain, Bush said He added that some players to watch this upcoming season are Chaves Kalua and Isaiah Williams. He expects his team “to be competitive in every game,” he said.
The Conks season begins today, Friday, with a 7 p.m. game against Curtis at Viking Stadium in University Place.
TAHOMA Head coach for the Tahoma Bears, Tony Davis, returns for his 22nd year on the sidelines. Last year the Bears finished 2-2 in division play and 6-4 overall. Tahoma’s season ended with a loss to Camas in the district playoffs. The Bears have six returning offensive players including senior quarterback Amandre Williams. Joining Williams is senior running back Caleb Brown, senior offensive linemen Michael Clausen and Zach White and senior receivers Cole Peckham and Austin Brown. Returning for the Bears on the defensive side of the field is Williams as defensive lineman, Clausen as defensive lineman, senior inside linebacker Macen Granlund, senior linebacker Alex Habenicht, junior defensive back Aiden Harmon and defensive back Austin Brown and Caleb Brown and Peckham as outside linebacker.
A newcomer to the Bears that Davis said to keep an eye on is sophomore receiver and defensive back Jerrel Chapman. Davis added three sophomores starting on the offensive line are James Mathews, Noah Sturgil and Allister Mackinnon. The Bears kick off the season with a 8 p.m. away game against Mount Rainier.
KENTLAKE The Kentlake Falcons begin the 2015 season with a 7 p.m. home game against Graham Kapowsin.
Boys Golf KENTWOOD Kentwood coach Michael Landry returns for his fourth season. Last year the Conks finished the season with an undefeated 10-0 record. Landry said the Conks earned first place as a team during the medalist tournament at Gold Mountain. The Conks earned sixth place overall at state. This season, Landry “looks forward to my group of seniors
achieving their goals of placing high at state.” The Conks are only without one player due to graduation. Kentwood lost Austin Holm. Landry said “he was a multi-sport athlete that qualified for state last year.” Five starters are returning for the 2015 season. Landry said the key this season is the “battle for the sixth varsity spot.” He said Kentwood has a number of young, talented golfers and “the competition will only make them better.” The season begins with a home match for the Conks at 3:15 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 8 against Mount Rainier at the Meridian Valley Golf Course.
TAHOMA Mike Hanson has been coaching for 15 years and returns as head coach of the Bears for the 2015 season. Last season Tahoma finished in second place during the regular season, second in the district tournament and eighth place overall in state. The Bears did not have any [ more FALL page 15 ]

This email was forwarded to a permit reviewer working with Black Diamond, who wrote to the city that in his research, he discovered this boundary issue “was recognized and acknowledged during the Black Diamond Comp Plan approval process.” “There is correspondence in Appendix C (of the comprehensive plan) that would lead you to believe that Covington, King County, Black Diamond and DOH resolved this issue and the expectation was that BD and Covington would process and approve an Interlocal Agreement that resolves the service area boundary,” the permit reviewer continued. “I’m not sure if anything was done to prepare the Interlocal Agreement.” According to documents given to the King County Utility Technical Review Committee dur-

ing last spring’s hearing, conversations between the Covington Water District and Black Diamond between 2011 and 2014 appeared rare. No emails, letters or meeting minutes between late 2011 and 2014 detailing any talks about the 98 acres were submitted to the UTRC by either party during the hearing. There was one meeting between the district and the city on March 14, 2015, but Black Diamond rescheduled two meetings and eventually told the Covington Water District, “the City is not willing to meet,” in an email dated June 6, 2014. It was a month later when the Covington Water District appealed to the UTRC to determine if the district could provide reasonable and timely water service to future residents of the 98 acres. During the UTRC hearing, the committee examined its own involvement during the review process for the 2009 Water Comprehensive Plan. During the review process, the UTRC asked Black Diamond on March 7, 2008, how the 98 acre boundary change proposed in the plan was being addressed, since that area would be covered by two water service

A single mom, she decided she needed a change. “I was at a point where, ‘Should I got back to teaching or what about doing something else?’” Fergason said. Baking beckoned. Pie came to mind. She brought an idea to Green River entities. These comments were submitted on March 7, 2008, the same day as the Covington Water District’s letter proposing a land trade to Black Diamond. The UTRC referenced King County Code 13.24.060 in their comments, which requires water comprehensive plans to prevent two water service providers from covering the same area. The code states water comprehensive plans will not be approved by the county if an area is served by two water providers. The city responded to King County and the UTRC by writing, “Black Diamond and the Covington Water District are in tentative agreement regarding the transfer of service from Covington Water District to the City of Black Diamond. An interlocal agreement will be prepared which outlines the details.” King County and the UTRC replied in a letter to the city dated Nov. 5, 2008, stating, “We… are glad to see that Black Diamond and the Covington Water District are already in agreement with respect to service area transfers.” However, after re-examining the documents provided to the UTRC during the 2008 review period,

Hirschey also said if the UTRC was aware that Covington Water District and Black Diamond were not in agreement over the 98 acres, the UTRC “likely would have waited until the issue was cleared up” before recommending the King County Council approve the Water Comprehensive Plan.
