Enough is enough! Since winning a House seat back in 2010, Representative Mark Hargrove has shown not only to be extreme, but unwilling to represent all voices in the 47th.
This letter is a thank you to Kent and Covington residents from years past. Thank you for taxing yourselves to build the schools I attended. In the halls of these buildings, I learned math, history and science. My soul was moved through singing in choir. My body was made stronger through sports. My life was improved and my success was made possible by Kent schools.

Donald Trump is the best choice for president.
So often in this unusual presidential debate we have come across apologetic endorsements. People who support Trump or Hillary but only to avoid endorsing the other candidate or because “their” candidate did not win their party nomination.
Hello. My name is Calvin J. Watts and I am honored to serve as superintendent of our Kent School District. I would like to thank the Covington Reporter for the opportunity to share monthly updates on our district, as well as issues and trends in education that may impact our schools. When I say our district and our schools, I mean it. The 42 school facilities in our organization were built for and by the residents of this community with local tax dollars.
Choice is a dubious notion to begin with. Most Americans feel their choices are becoming slimmer.
I feel like a high school kid again.
Like I have a big test in the morning that I’m not prepared for but, wait, hope is on the horizon. The forecast called for snow, so I’m going to pray for snow – please snow, I’ll do anything just let it snow.
This week The Covington Maple Valley Reporter ran editorials from a Hillary Clinton supporter, Donald Trump supporter and an undecided voter.
Well hasn’t this election cycle been a sloppy bucket of fun.
We are a society and community diverse in background, ideas, race, and culture. I believe when investments are made that project the vision for common good that we all share; we are at our best in setting policies and infrastructure. We are a community that values its children and building a foundation where all children have a chance to meet their best potential. Soon you will be receiving your elections ballots in the mail.

I was exposed to the terrible effects of Alzheimer’s disease when the brother of a close friend of mine died recently at age 67 after a 10-year struggle with early onset Alzheimer’s.
Long before I served on the Covington City Council, I logged a lot of time – and miles – in national parks as a park ranger. One of my most memorable experiences was working at Yellowstone, America’s first national park.
You’re looking at a brand new Covington-Maple Valley-Black Diamond Reporter.
One year ago, I did the most terrifying thing I have ever done. I moved to a new city without a plan.
Let me preface this column by saying, I know there will be people who disagree with me. That doesn’t make you wrong and that doesn’t make me wrong. It just means our opinion and points of view differ.
This weekend we mark the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. I was a young reporter in Upstate New York that day and it’s still almost as vivid today as it was a decade and a half ago. A version of this column ran in Enumclaw in 2011, but it has been edited for inclusion this week.
Thank you for all of the help at 2016’s Throwdown
Summer’s end has always been one of my most favorite times of year. I loved going back to school. It meant seeing my friends again, and a fresh start with new teachers and new challenges. The key was having the right tools; No. 2 pencils, plenty of paper and a brand new Trapper Keeper to hold it all together.
