The Green River Queen returns to Labor Day parade Black Diamond STORY AND PHOTO BY DENNIS BOX Editor
W
hen the Black Diamond Labor Days Committee decided to find someone to bring the Green River Queen float back to life, the choice was easy because there was only one man for the job – Gomer Evans. The life-long resident and former mayor of the town is the one person everyone knows could bring the commu-
nity together to get the job done on time for the Labor Day parade. Evans led a community effort that began in April and ended with the first appearance of the float in more than 50 years in the Labor Day parade. Evans said many businesses and people from Black Diamond, Maple Valley and the surrounding area who volunteered time, money and muscle to bring the float back. [ more QUEEN page 8 ]

BY RAY STILL Reporter
The water rights dispute between the city of Black Diamond and the Covington Water District reached a milestone Sept. 3 when the city decided to officially begin the assumption, or take-over process, for the right to serve water to 98 acres within The Villages development. Ordinance 15-1058 passed three votes to one, with one council member recused. This may spell the beginning of the end of this water rights fight, as Black Diamond has attempted to gain control of those 98 acres since the city’s 2009 Water Comprehensive Plan was approved by the county. The city first argued that because Black Diamond annexed The Villages development in 2005, which included the 98 acres, this meant exclusive water service rights were automatically granted to the city. The Covington Water District disagreed,

New York Times bestselling author J. A. Jance will make a stop at the Covington Library Saturday on her tour to promote her newest title, “Dance of the Bones: A Beaumont and Walker Novel.” Jance wasn’t allowed in the creative writing program at the University of Arizona because she was a woman. That was in 1964. After her refused admission, she married a man who was in the program. She recalled him telling her four years later there would only be one writer in their family, and it would be him. After divorcing him, Jance moved to Seattle in 1981 and starting writing in 1982. Her newest novel is a crossover book between two of her series, the J.P. Beaumont series and the Walker Family series. She’s written crossover J.A. Jance titles before, but never with these two particular characters, she said. The synopsis of the book is described as, “With a missing boy’s life at stake, detective J.P. Beaumont and Sheriff Brandon Walker join forces to stop a sociopathic smuggler who has eluded justice for decades.” Publishers Weekly wrote, “Bestseller [ more AUTHOR page 2 ]
Editor’s note: This is part three 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’s article outlines what action Black Diamond has taken, and how the Covington Water District may respond. Last week’s article examined 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.

Kim and Jack Emmons merge Maple Valley real estate office with Kent-Covington John L. Scott Real Estate REPORTER STAFF
Jack and Kim Emmons, owners of the John L. Scott Real Estate affiliate office in Maple Valley for the past 15 years will be merging the office with the company-owned Kent-Covington office according to a release from the real estate company. The move allows Kim Emmons to focus more on Foster Champs, a nonprofit organization she cofounded three years ago to support local foster families. The couple will continue their real estate careers with John L. Scott at
the Kent-Covington location. “I started my career with John L. Scott back in 1995,” Kim Emmons said. “ John L. Scott has always been the right home for me because of our visionary leader, Lennox Scott, and his commitment to understanding the needs of our clients by offering quality service, technology, and innovation.” Kim Emmons started Foster Champs of Maple Valley three years ago when the couple welcomed their foster child, Eryn, into their home. They realized there was a deficit of support and access to resources for
both foster families and foster children. After forming Foster Champs, the needs and support started rolling in. They currently serve more than 30 foster families by providing funding for special events such as sports and other extra curricular activities, fundraising for school supplies and clothing, sponsors the Annual Foster Champs Free sale of more than 10,000 community donated items. Foster Champs has grown to the point that Kim Emmons is poised to open up a new branch for advocacy of foster kids, with the main focus on getting kids out of state care and into families within their first year of foster care.

School district hosts Native American Powwow Kent School District is hosting a Native American Back to School Powwow from 1 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 12, in the cafeteria at Kent-Meridian High School. Members of the community are invited to attend this free event to kick-off the school year alongside the Native American community. The Powwow is intended to educate, promote and inform students and community
about the existing indigenous and Native American peoples living in the local and surrounding areas. “It is essential to perpetuate the Native American culture and celebrate the usual and accustomed practices that are and have been, since time immemorial,” said Theresa Lockrem, Kent School District Native American academic and cultural liaison. This event includes Na-
tive American vendors with food and handmade items, entertainment during the dinner break, and it offers attendees the opportunity to learn about Native American art, culture and traditions. Notable individuals within the Native American community such as Alaskan Chilkat blanket weaver Anna Brown Ehlers,
artist and educator Louie Gong, and Seattle flutist Paul Che oke ten Wagner are invited to showcase their art and music, and also deliver messages about the importance of Native American culture. Polynesian dancers from Ke Liko A’e O Lei Lehua Halau with
Day of Caring The United Way Day of Caring takes place on Friday, Sept. 18 in Maple Valley. Organized locally by United Way of King County, the event makes it possible for people to volunteer in special work groups that visit local nonprofits like Lake Wilderness Arboretum, public schools and city parks for a day of service. Group leaders work with each organization on specific projects that volunteers accomplish by day’s end. “The United Way Day of Caring is the largest volunteer event in Washington state,” garden manager Susan Goodell said. “It’s a great way to help out local non-profits and have fun, too.” Last year, 50 volunteers from Microsoft worked to gravel paths, weed and clean brush from the Smith Mossman Western Azalea Garden in addition to other garden and forest projects led by Goodell volunteers, staff and board members. In 2014, more than 11,000 people tackled 553 projects around King County, valued at $1.5 million in volunteer time.

The secret sauce of life and texting
Dennis Box Editor
OUR CORNER
I sense a move afoot to make me appear grouchy and less than Mr. Cool and up with the times. How ridiculous is that… me… Mr. I am Sunshine. Let me present the complaint without distortion or twisting any facts. I have been using the texting feature on my magic talk box more lately because certain young women in my office who shall go unnamed, we will refer to them as Sarah and Rebecca, and my daughter, who shall not go unnamed, Katy, and her little Yorkie from the underworld (apparently Katy’s demon Yorkie can use the stupid text thing better than me). Complaint No. 1 I forget to check my text messages. Like I’m supposed to do this more than yearly. Katy said I had to set up some ear-throbbing sounds to tell me when to do what. OK, fine, I did as directed. The next day I forgot what I did and suddenly got all befuddled when foreign sounds starting pouring unannounced from my pocket. I thought I was Agent 86 and I tried to answer my shoe. (Keep this information to yourself, please). Complaint No. 2 This is from me. How am I supposed to know about all those special weird unknowable things Sarah, Rebecca and Katy know and no one ever tells me? I spend all sorts of time studying indecipher-
able old things like Greek, but I have no idea what a ‘:)’ means or a ‘:P’ or the million other things they use to talk. Where did this language come from and why do they get to know and I don’t? Maybe they find out in some secret classroom where you have to know the handshake and everyone wears funny hats and sits in tall wooden chairs with no cushions. Complaint No. 3 This is also me… not that I’m whining. How come they can punch things into their phone like lightning and it takes me 20 minutes to figure out how to write barf. It is so annoying. I feel like when I text I have to lock myself in a closet. I have even practiced speed thumb things and all I do is end up writing a string of bad words.
Remedy It’s not likely I can return to my cranky wall phone (I still have the one we had on the farm) and it is probable that essential information will continue to be withheld from me because of a conspiratorial plan to make me appear grouchy and as out of date as my lumpy buttermilk. Well, my lumpy buttermilk is the secret remedy. The magic potion for Mr. Sunshine is a glass of buttermilk, texturally lumpy, every day. It is the elixir of life the young do not know and have not discovered with all their fancy, speedy texty things – whatever they are. Someday Sarah, Rebecca and Katy will want to know the secret sign to text – lumpy buttermilk, come and get it – but they will have to come to me for the answer. Hee, hee.
Why do we need government anyway?
Republicans retort that big government is really the bully, not the rich and powerful. Neither party can see that the truth lies in the middle. To admit that the other’s perspective might have some validity is to take away the edge of partisanship. Both parties know that in order to obtain power through elections their opponents have to be portrayed as Hobbes viewed human nature – as selfish and self-seeking. Both, at the same time, like to portray themselves as the Greeks and Romans saw good leaders as being: virtuous, responsible and seeking the common good. Since all of us have minds to think and reason, our job as voters is to discern who is the most truthful and virtuous in their claims. Unfortunately, emotions, not reason, usually govern our actions and decisions. Both parties play on emotions over reason, because that’s how elections are won. The founders understood that for the Constitution to work properly it required that its citizens – “We the People” – be intelligent and discerning. They understood that the people needed to be educated to see through the selfishness and fear to the truth. Good government is absolutely necessary to provide safety and freedom. Good government comes from realization of the evil each and every one of us is capable of and at the same time it comes from understanding how we can attain the liberty we all desire. Good government comes through us, the voters, acting intelligently.
Why do we need government anyway? It seems we argue about how government should be – smaller if Republican, bigger for Democrats – but we seem to ignore the greater question about the need for government in the first place. History and philosophy provide some of the answers. The deeper question about the need for government goes back to differing concepts of human nature. Is it capable of great virtue and concern for the common good as the Greeks and Romans believed, or is it as Thomas Hobbes described it in his book “Leviathan”: “For amongst masterless men there is perpetual war, every man against his neighbor”? Hobbes believed humans form governments for self-preservation, out of fear. The founders of the U.S. Constitution understood well Hobbes’ view of human nature being self-centered and capable of great evil. All they had to do was to examine history. They understood and agreed with Hobbes that all humans have natural rights. Some of those rights are loaned to a sovereign to afford protection and peace to a commonwealth. If the sovereign provided protection, then the people had the obligation to obey. If the sovereign was unable to protect the people, then the covenant between a leader In Focus

and his subjects ended and every man was on his own. In such a state of nature, or period of anarchy, life was, as Hobbes famously noted, likely to be “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short.” Governments exist today on all levels – local, state and national – to protect us from our neighbors and at the same time they exist to allow us to exercise our freedom that comes from our belief in Natural Rights: “Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness.” The nation’s founders also believed in the duty each individual has toward his community. This struggle between rights and responsibilities is what we read about daily in our media. Each political party claims to want to give us more freedom to “live the good life” as Aristotle remarked. But defining who belongs to the privileged citizens often means some are excluded. Each party proposes different means to attain that security and freedom for those who support that party. Republicans claim less government, other than police power, gives us the right mix. Democrats strongly differ and claim that in such a government with less power, the rich and powerful dominate over the poor and weak. Democrats have the solution that bigger government affords greater liberty and opportunity to the larger group of people because it protects us from those who want to dominate us.

People do not often perceive office jobs as being high risk; however, believe it or not, sitting down a lot at work could be deadly. New studies show that people who are “desk jockeys,” meaning they spend the majority of their work days sitting behind a desk, are putting themselves at risk for serious health repercussions and even premature death. Furthermore, desk workers are likely to succumb to musculoskeletal fatigue and pain. The key to staying safe at this type of job is to consciously make a daily effort to get up and move, or at least stand, for about four hours each day. Take the time to gradually break up long stretches of sitting. Stroll around the office every so often and get outside on breaks for a walk around the block. There’s no magic bullet for avoiding the health problems associated with a desk job, but you can schedule your day in a way where you’re avoiding many problems as best as you can. One thing that’s easy to do is to get out of your chair whenever you take a phone call at your desk. Using a timer to remind yourself to get up and walk around is also useful.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Hot weather bad for salmon Our region’s salmon are in hot water. While many people may welcome this summer’s prolonged hot and dry weather, salmon – symbol of the Northwest – are gravely threatened. The lack of snowpack and spring rain, combined with sustained high summer temperatures, have reduced the amount of water and increased temperatures in our streams and rivers to lethal levels for salmon. Under these conditions, far too many will die before reaching their spawning grounds to reproduce. Area rivers support five species of native salmon and three types of trout, with Chinook salmon, steelhead, and bull trout listed as “threatened” under the Endangered Species Act. Regional watershed councils have worked tirelessly for two decades, with a significant investment of public resources, to protect and restore salmon habitat, improve water quality, and create conditions that allow salmon to return to spawn in our local rivers and streams each year.
www.covingtonreporter.com • www.maplevalleyreporter.com Water Comprehensive Plan. [ WATER from page 1]
And yet, this year’s conditions are truly alarming for recovery. Many of our creeks and rivers are experiencing the lowest flows and highest water temperatures ever recorded. Low flows and warm water are wreaking havoc in areas throughout our watersheds that are important for spawning, where salmon lay eggs, and for rearing, where baby salmon grow. Sustained water temperatures above 68 degrees Fahrenheit can stress young salmon, increase disease and keep adult salmon from reaching their spawning grounds. Water temperatures above 73 degrees Fahrenheit can be lethal. For most of the summer, water in the Cedar, Sammamish and Snoqualmie Rivers has approached or reached these dangerous temperatures, and conditions in other rivers are almost as dire. An already hard journey for salmon has been made even more challenging by these conditions, which have limited the number of adult fish able to make it into the rivers and creeks around Lake Washington.

and appealed to the King County Utility Technical Review Committee last April. The King County Utility Technical Review Committee or UTRC decided on May 1 the 98 acre area was within the district’s service area, both the district and the city could serve water to future residents of that area in a reasonable and timely manner, and if the city wanted the water service rights, it would have to go through the assumption process under Revised Code of Washington Chapter 13.35A. The city appealed the UTRC decision because it claimed the assumption process was not necessary, however Ordinance 15-1058 stated, “completing assumption may reduce litigation and lead to a more efficient resolution of the matter.” The appeal is scheduled to be heard by the county hearing examiner Nov. 12. At the same time, the Covington Water District has said it plans to appeal to the King County Boundary Review Board to try and keep the city from assuming the 98 acres. The district argued Black Diamond made statements that misrepresented the city’s relationship with the Covington Water District back when the plan was being reviewed, and that “an assumption would be unfair and unjust in light of the misrepresentations made by the City of Black Diamond in the process of getting its Water System Plan approved,” reads a letter from the district to the Black Diamond City Council, delivered Aug. 6. No final decision about whether or not the district will follow this course of action has been made.
Council Votes
The City Council voted on Ordinance 15-1058 after a lengthy presentation and discussion. Kevin Fuhrer, representing the Covington Water District spoke first during public comment, addressing the concerns the district had about the ordinance. Fuhrer argued against claims made in the ordinance that Black Diamond would be more efficient in serving water to the 98 acres and against claims the district will charge more money to future residents of the 98 acres for water connection fees and ongoing water cost. He also argued the city misled the county by claiming Black Diamond and the Covington Water District entered an agreement to transfer the water service rights of the 98 acres from the district to the city. According to Fuhrer there is no documentation to back up those claims and the district never entered such an agreement with the city. Public Works Director Seth Boettcher then presented the ordinance to the council and addressed the Covington Water District’s claim the city misled the county in its 2009
“A lot of (Covington Water District’s) argument is based on this outlandish fairytale that somehow we have misled the county,” Boettcher said. “They base their whole argument around this fiction.” After Boettcher’s nearly 30 minute presentation, Councilwoman Janie Edelman recused herself from the council discussion and vote. At the Aug. 20 council meeting Cindy Wheeler said during public comment Edelman may have a conflict of interest concerning the water service issue. “I’m not happy with this, and I have been advised that I do not have a conflict of interest with this issue,” she said. “But in the interest of the abundance of fairness, I will recuse myself from the discussion and depart.” Councilwoman Erika Morgan spoke next, solidly placing herself in the ‘no’ party. “After reading our staff comments and comparing it to the Covington Water District’s testimony, I feel the district has a stronger case,” she said. “I’m particularly concerned with what appears to be a cherry-picking of information to justify an assumption.” Morgan said she felt assuming the 98 acres will further sour relationships between the city and the district, and the city should stay on good terms with the Covington Water District because the district serves water to around 600 Black Diamond residents. On that note, she said she feels there will most likely be a rise in rates for Covington Water District customers in Black Diamond if the city assumes the 98 acres, a claim substantiated by the letter delivered to the council on Aug. 6. The letter stated, “… the loss of this anticipated revenue means that the district’s other customers will have to absorb the RWSS (regional water supply system) water supply costs, which includes residents located around Lake Sawyer…” She also said she feels Black Diamond has not complied to the letter and spirit of the Growth Management Act, which requires close coordination between water providers. Councilman Craig Goodwin spoke next and said assuming the 98 acres is the quickest way to bring the dispute to an end and, ”Without pursuing our city’s legal right to assumption, there is little possibility of settlement and resolution of this matter.” Councilman Ron Taylor said he planned to vote yes because the revenue the city will gain from this assumption will help support the city and, in turn, the city’s residents. Councilwoman Tamie Deady echoed Taylor’s thoughts, saying future residents and businesses will be supported better by Black Diamond assuming the 98 acres.

King County Council Project to replace culverts to receive funding from flood district supports ban of antibiotics in livestock Upgrading flood prevention near Lake Sawyer Road The King County Council unanimously adopted a motion supporting both state or federal regulatory and legislative actions to restrict the nontherapeutic uses of antibiotics in farm animals. At the core of the growing national issue is widespread concern from the medical community that the practice has caused a rapid and dangerous increase in occurrences of antibiotic resistance, putting the efficacy of all human antibiotic treatments at risk. The Centers for Disease Control estimates at least 2 million people per year are being infected with antibiotic resistant bacteria, causing roughly 23,000 people to die as a direct result. “It’s unconscionable that nearly two million people are infected with antibiotic resistant bacteria each year,” said Council Chair Larry Phillips, the motion’s sponsor. “It’s time for our state and national leaders to take this critical, rational step in
protecting families, animals and the long term health of our society.” While numerous attempts in Congress have repeatedly stalled, the European Union successfully banned the use of antibiotics for growth promotion in food animals in 2006. Over 30 million pounds of antibiotics were sold for use in animals in 2013—a number representing roughly 80 percent of all antibiotics sold in the United States. Monday’s vote comes on the heels of the Food and Drug Administration issuing a veterinary feed directive earlier this summer that provided a framework for when and how veterinarians authorize use of antibiotics in feed for animal health purposes. The FDA effort also includes a voluntary arrangement with animal pharmaceutical companies to begin phasing out antibiotics used specifically for growth promotion.
The King County Flood Control District gave its support to a project that will upgrade culverts along Lake Sawyer Road in Black Diamond. The district’s Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted the proposal from the city of Black Diamond along with other projects throughout the region that focus on both flood prevention and flood mitigation. “These grants help

communities across King County to rebuild their aging infrastructure,” said King County Councilman Reagan Dunn, chair of the Flood Control District. Dunn represents the city of Black Diamond on the board. “Flooding doesn’t just occur along our major rivers, but throughout communities in King County.” Black Diamond Mayor Carol Benson said, “We are grateful to the district for
assisting us with the design and permitting process in replacing the three deteriorating corrugated metal culverts under Lake Sawyer Road with a new box culvert. This grant will put us well along the way to fix this creek passage. We will continue to look for funding for the construction work rather than try and rehabilitate the existing culverts.” [ more CULVERT page 8 ]

The engine didn’t run, the railings were shot and most of the deck and structure were past saving. Once Evans assessed what needed to be done, he began bringing people together to help. “Every little bit helps,” Evans said. “There was a lot donated and a lot of people put in work.” The original railing, which was PVC, was replaced through a donation from All Around Fence Company in Ravensdale.

Start to plan for next year’s garden The early part of September is the time to evaluate your container gardens and bedding plants so you will know what to buy or order for next spring. In my garden I found that the fast spreading “Wave” petunias with large flowers are great for planting in beds, but not so nice in hanging baskets – they just keep growing and growing and become too rangy. The more compact petunias like the Proven Winners Supertunia and the SuperBells Calibrachoa (these look like mini petunias) did great in the summer heat and kept a more tidy and compact growth habit. Million Bells is another type of trailing mini-petunia that thrived in the heat and stayed well behaved all summer. More rock stars that performed despite the summer heat were scavolea, sedums, yuccas, geraniums, a hanging plant with gray foliage

The Compleat Home Gardener
called Dichondra Silver Falls and the very adaptable dragon wing begonias like the bright orange Bonfire begonia. The end of summer is a good time to rethink and replant your container gardens with the goal of yearround color that will thrive for several years without replanting. Instead of planting for just fall color or summer blooms, these planting suggestions will look great year-round with the option of adding seasonal color. Tip: Add some dwarf daffodil, crocus or snowdrop bulbs near the edge of the container when you are done planting the larger plants. In February you’ll be rewarded with fresh spring blooms. All of these hard-working plants should be easy to find at local garden centers and nurseries now. Start with a large container with drainage holes. A pot that is at least
24 inches deep will hold enough soil to keep the biggest plant or the “thriller” happy for several years. You have the option of rotating the smaller plants into the landscape or leaving them in the pot until they outgrow the space. Use a quick-draining potting soil, not soil from your own garden. It is fine to reuse your old potting soil from this past summer but only if you remove the old roots, add a few inches of fresh potting soil and stir it all up so the old potting soil at the bottom is once again loose and freedraining. During the winter months place potted plants in a protected location near the house or under the protection of the roof eaves. This will help plants survive a big freeze and keep them from drowning during our constant winter rains. Tip: Poke a finger into the soil and water potted plants protected under the eaves when the top two inches are dry. They may need water every few
weeks, even in the winter. Ingredients for the Planting Recipe • One Thriller – a big, bold plant for the middle or back of the display. • Two or Three Fillers: Shorter plants to surround the Thriller focal point. • Two or Three Spillers: Smaller plants to cascade over the sides a bit, giving the pot a full and graceful design. Thrillers that will last several years in the same pot: Tall and narrow evergreens like Ilex Sky Pencil, yews for the shade, compact junipers for the sun, Goldcrest Monterey Cypress, Dwarf Alberta spruce or Barberry Orange Rocket. (OK, the barberry is not really an evergreen but it loses it leaves for such a short time and the Orange Rocket has such a bright and beautiful color that I recommend it for year-round color anyway.) For smaller containers use the true dwarf evergreens that grow just a half-inch per year, Hinoki False Cypress, a spiky evergreen
September 11, 2015 [9]
grass like carex or a compact hebe. Fillers to Surround your Focal Point Plant: use three in large pots, one or two if you find large plants or your container is small. Heucheras – these lowgrowing and compact foliage plants make fabulous fillers for year-round color and adapt to either sun or shade. They come in colors ranging from deep red to bright yellow. Pick heucheras to contrast or blend with your focal plant either all in the same color for a formal look or mix it up for a festive confetti collection of colors. Herbs – the winter-hardy herbs like lavender, sage and oreganos offer foliage color all winter and the foliage can be harvested with a few snips of the scissors to keep them compact and tidy. Euphorbias – in a smaller pot these colorful euphorbias can be used as the thriller or focal point plant but once you meet the amazing foliage of Ascot Rainbow Spurge or the striking gray and white leaves of Glacier Blue euphorbia you’ll want to use these easy-care perennials in your beds as well as your container gardens.
Spillers to use up front: Tuck one or two of these in the front or near the edge of your arrangement so they can spill out and cascade from the container. Lamiums – my favorite groundcover for dry shade is also a winner in year-round containers. The evergreen foliage comes in a variety of colors. Beacon Silver has gray and white accents on the leaves and Golden Anniversary stays a cheery yellow all winter. When summer arrives you can uproot your rather aggressive lamiums from the pot and transplant them into the ground if you want room to add summer blooming begonias or impatiens to the container. Black Mondo Grass – a touch of black will dress up any container and the dark foliage looks great next to the silver leaved herbs like lavender or tucked in with red or burgundy heucheras. Groundcover plants like Ajuga, variegated ivy, vinca and creeping Jenny – you may even have these common groundcovers in your garden already. If you buy a 4-inch pot of groundcover from the nursery divide it into two or three pieces and spread it around the sides of the container.

s the transition between summer and fall closes in, high school fall sports return to action. The Reporter looks ahead at the 2015 season with the head coaches of boys tennis, girls swim and dive and volleyball for Kentwood, Tahoma and Kentlake.
Boys Tennis TAHOMA David Reynoldson returns for his
15th season as the varsity coach for the Bears. He said he most looks forward to being competitive this season. “Many of the top teams have lost their depth so the year should be fairly wide open for teams to succeed.” Key doubles players, Reynoldson said Tahoma lost were Tyler Gage and Chris Lovre. And Ryan Luderman at singles, he said. Some keep players to watch this season, Reynoldson said is senior Davis Galgano, juniors Matt Simmons and Andrew Lovre and sophomores Brody Magbaleta, Kyle Sherick, and Tagen Whitaker.
Galgano is the Bears only senior this year and Reynoldson said it will be interesting to see how Tahoma’s young team does this year. “I expect us to compete well in each match but time will tell where our team will finish this year,” he said. The Bears host the Kentwood Conks at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 15.

Newcomers this season are Annalise Hed, Hannah Ackerman, Reem Slim, Sidney Suit and Thao Dinh. “I look forward to these girls being big contributors to our team score this season,” she said. In addition to the newcomers, Wright said returners to the team this year are Avry Freaney, Chiyo Miyake, Abbey Quintos, Gabby Rizzo, Celina Sellers, Hannah Lesnick, Michele Chao and Theresa Rodriguez. The 2015 season began with a jamboree hosted by Auburn Riverside at 3:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 4 at the Auburn Pool. The first regular season meet of the season comes against Thomas Jefferson at 3:15 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 15 at home.
TAHOMA Returning for his ninth season at Tahoma is head coach Dave Wright. Aside from coaching at Tahoma he has been coaching for the past 29 years. Last season, the Bears were undefeated and won the SPSL North division title for the first time in school history. At the state champion-
finished in seventh place. Tahoma lost five seniors from last year’s team, Wright said. They were Jessica Miller, Hailie Mazick, Mackenzie Dress, Austin Hanger and Michelle Johnson. “It will be fun to see the returning girls step up and fill the varsity spots that are empty due to graduating seniors,” he said. Two returning Bears who placed at state last season are junior Lindsey Hanger and diver Ashley Lewis. “ We have a number of district placers that should step up this year for us,” he added. Tahoma began the season participating in the jamboree hosted by Auburn Riverside. The Bears host Mount Rainier at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 15 for the first regular season meet of the season.
KENTLAKE Brad Williams is set to coach his third season at Kentlake. Last season the Falcons finished with a 7-2 record. Williams said the Falcons placed 16th at state. “Every year I look forward to seeing athletes accomplish goals that they didn’t think possible,” he said. Last season, Kentlake had 12 seniors on its team. This year, key performers to watch Williams said are swimmers Avalyne Peters, Allie Losacco, Sarah Ruck-
diver Katie Beliveau. Williams said he expects this season will be a rebuilding year. The Falcons have 11 new team members, he said. “Our goals are to work hard, have fun and always give our best,” Williams said. The Falcons start the season with an away meet against Todd Beamer at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 15 at The Weyerhauser King County Aquatics Center.
Volleyball
KENTWOOD
The Kentwood Conks have “an incoming class of freshman that are skilled and passionate about playing and I’m certain they will bring value to the volleyball program,” head coach Bil Caillier said. The Conks tipped of the new season with a home match against Mt. Si on Tuesday. Next up for the Conks is an away match against Kentlake at 7:15 p.m. Monday, Sept. 14.
TAHOMA Kelly Kim has been coaching high school for 12 years and six of those have been at Tahoma. And this year, Kim enters her second season as head coach of the Bears. Last season, Bears tied for first place in league and finished fifth at districts and sixth place in state. “This season I am look-
team grow closer with each other as a team and learning from each other on and off the court,” Kim said. The Bears lost outside hitters Amanda Troxel and Natalia Burdulis and setter Emma Terry, she said. But some key players to watch this upcoming season are sophomore Emily Smith and juniors Ginny Mehl and Sierra Stultz. Looking ahead to the 2015 season, Kim said she “hopes to finish strong in the league and return to the state tournament this year and place at state again.” The Bears started the season with a jamboree hosted by Emerald Ridge Saturday. Tahoma plays next at the Sterling Athletics Volleyball Classic hosted by Auburn Mountainview. The time is still to be determined.
KENTLAKE Eduardo Guerrero has been coaching for 12 years and two of those have been spent at Kentlake. The Falcons lost five seniors, he said, Lexi, Victoria, Taylor, Jayce and Kathleena. Key players to watch this season, he said, are Zoe Gaines, Jordan Fong, Morgan Colston and Ryleigh Burdick. The Falcons began the 2015 season with a home match against Holy Names Academy on Thursday, Sept. 10.

The Muckleshoot Tribe counted only 3,100 adult Chinook salmon and fewer than 34,000 adult sockeye salmon entering the Lake Washington watershed through the Ballard Locks as of Aug. 24. This is about 41 percent of the Chinook and about 27 percent of the sockeye that should have returned by now, compared to the last 10 years. And of these already low numbers of returning fish, current river conditions mean that even fewer are likely to reproduce. Recognizing the effects of worsening drought conditions on salmon and drinking water storage, Seattle Public Utilities, Tacoma Water and Everett have activated their Water Shortage Contingency Plans, moving to “voluntary status,� which asks that customers reduce consumption by 10 percent. The utilities’ conservation efforts are essential to maintaining the clean water and flow conditions needed to support healthy salmon populations in the Snohomish,
Cedar, Green/Duwamish, Tolt and Snoqualmie rivers. Given the unprecedented combination of low river flows and continuing high water temperatures, local utilities should broadly communicate conservation messages to partners and the public, with an emphasis on how much additional water we need to save. They should consider moving quickly to more robust conservation measures if conditions warrant. Climate scientists tell us that this summer’s conditions may become the new normal. Now more than ever, we must act to reduce the impacts of a changing climate, not only for ourselves, but for our prized fish and wildlife species. We need to lower stream temperatures by planting more trees on stream banks, reconnecting streams with cold groundwater sources, and each of us needs to think about how we can use less water. We need to consider salmon in stream flow management decisions. Failing to do these things means salmon will find it harder and harder to return to our local streams each year, and may eventually be only a memory in a place they once
