Pair of Kent School Board spots contested

Candidates campaign for fire board seat

tmartinell@maplevalleyreporter.com

Voters have a choice in two contested races for the Kent School Board, although one candidate says he has not had the time to actively campaign for a position and is unsure if he would serve if elected.

Russell Hanscom said during a phone interview Oct. 18 that he really doesn’t have the time to commit to be a school board director.

“I’m not trying to win,” Hanscom said. “If I win, I might resign or I might not.”

Hanscom is up against Larry Sims for the director District No. 1 position to replace Jim Berrios, who decided against running for reelection.

In the other race, Leslie Kae Hamada takes on incumbent Debbie Straus for the director District No. 3 spot.

Karen L. DeBruler is running unopposed for the director District No. 2 position. DeBruler was appointed to the board in 2010 after Chris Davies resigned to devote more time to his business.

King County Fire District No. 43 Commissioner Jennifer Rydberg is squaring off against challenger Gabe DeBay for Position No. 4.

The commissioners oversee Maple Valley Fire and Life Safety.

During the election, Rydberg has highlighted her experience as an attorney, while DeBay has pointed out his work as a firefighter Rydberg, who currently holds Position No. 4, has 33 years of experience in law and has a private law practice in Kent. She originally ran for the position in 2010 because she thought her legal expertise would help the board.

“I knew the fire district would benefit from having the skills that I have in leadership, in planning and law,” said Rydberg. “I I knew that I could help with that process and contribute to make it a good process for the community. My whole life is about helping other people.”

DeBay has been a firefighter in King County for nine years. He

Tahoma Junior High ninth graders see marine life up close

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@maplevalleyreporter.com

There’s nothing quite like holding a live geoduck, the famed Pacific Northwest shellfish, as part of a lesson about sustainability.

That’s just what ninth graders from Tahoma Junior High did during a field trip to Seattle Oct. 20 to study environmental impacts on Puget Sound.

The students were from Todd

Baker, Scott Mercer, Ryan Walston and Cary Collins’ classes, which are currently studying Pacific Northwest history.

Baker said it was a culminating field experience. After having learned about the Puget Sound he felt it was best for them to see it for themselves.

“The whole goal is to get the kids out there teaching what’s wrong with the Sound and what they can do about it,” he said. “We

want the kids to actually go out on the Puget Sound,” Baker said.

This is the fifth field trip Baker has taken students on in the past three years.

It is a part of a program called Sounding Off, which is designed to help students actively discuss and spread information about sustainability. Baker’s plan is for the ninth graders to go to elementary schools and educate younger students about what they have learned, as well as make fliers and brochures, or produce videos for the Internet.

After the students arrived in Seattle, they boarded a ferry to Bainbridge Island. While on the ferry, they listened to lectures from stakeholders from the region [ more LEARNING page 4 ]

Speaker series kicks off at Kentlake

BY KRIS HILL khill@covingtonrepoter.com

E

ric Chudler hopped on one foot, talked to the audience and juggled simultaneously on the stage of the Kentlake High Performing Arts Center.

Chudler, a research associate professor in the bioengineering department at the University of Washington faculty, did that trick to demonstrate the power of the brain. He is the first speaker of a year-long series.

The series, sponsored in partnership by the Kent School District, the University of Washington and the Covington Rotary, came out of conversations Kentlake Principal Joe Potts had with representatives from the university, explained Assistant Principal Ian McFeat.

Jim Tanasse, a Kentlake parent and member of the Covington Rotary, said the speaker series was a result of brainstorming by the school’s administrators. “Then that led to some conversations with the Covington Rotary, as well, so we just decided to create a lecture series to broaden the intellectual conversation at the school,�

McFeat said.

Tanasse said the discussions he had with Potts were initially focused on the efforts to bring a greater range of UW courses to the high school. “Joe and I had a dialogue about this whole notion of how we make UW happen at Kentlake, the whole notion of keeping students on campus,â€? Tanasse said. “A lot of the dialogue was‌ how are we going to make sure all the kids have access to that education process.â€?

That is where Covington Rotary stepped in to offer some financial as well as moral support. Tanasse found a double matching grant which took the club’s $3,000 and turned it into $9,000, allowing the club to underwrite the cost of UW in the High School courses for kids. “The speaker series kind of came out of bringing the UW program to Kentlake,� Tanasse said. “The whole notion is getting kids to see beyond

just the learning in the classroom but the practical side of professionals‌ who are excited about what they do and connecting the dots. That was the big vision.�

The series is part of a broader effort, McFeat said, to raise the academic bar at Kentlake. “A lot of the subjects and topics encourage students and community members to look at themselves and imagine possibilities and to stretch themselves in a way they hadn’t done before,� McFeat said. “The lectures are meant to inspire kids to think about issues in different ways.�

With that goal in mind, McFeat explained, school administrators looked at areas of cutting edge research happening at UW and “really, there’s some amazing things going on.� “We were able to contact Dr. Eric Chudler, who has been doing some amazing brain research,� McFeat said. “He’s just gotten a grant for $18 million. He’s the founder and director of Neuroscience for Kids, which is pretty amazing.�

Chudler, who made the audience laugh through a series of interactive exercises to demonstrate how the brain functions, said it is important to give such lectures when asked. “I feel that as a member of the community, even though I don’t live out here, and as a member of the University of Washington faculty, it’s my obligation to give back to the community,� he said after the lecture.

Chudler tackled a number of topics ranging from the ethics of neuroscience to the size as well as the anatomy and of the brain to myths such as humans only use 90 percent of the brain. “We know a lot about the brain, but, there’s a lot we don’t know,� he said. “It’s a complete myth that you use only 10 percent of your brain.

You use 100 percent of your brain, just not all at the same time.�

While discussing the size of the human brain, he walked around with a model of an average brain in his hand, pointing to charts that plotted the ratio of the size of the

Maple Valley forms new funding process for organizations

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@maplevalleyreporter.com

The city of Maple Valley has created two separate forms of funding for organizations as a part of its annual budget this year.

City Manager David Johnston explained that in the past the city used community grants to fund

[ LEARNING from page 1]

— businesses or organizations who depend on maintaining Puget Sound’s water quality.

One of them, Nicole Hopper, was from Taylor Shellfish Farms, which is located in the city of Bows near Bellingham.

Hopper told the students how shellfish are hatched on the farm and eventually sold. She then discussed the various forms of shellfish, such as clams, mussels, or even the odd looking geoduck, all of which she had

organizations. However, two years ago, they became aware that this violated the Washington State Constitution, which states a city cannot give organizations public dollars unless they provide a service to the poor and the infirm, a definition which many of these organizations did not fall under. “We were giving grants

to things like the Chamber of Commerce that really weren’t providing services to the poor,� Johnston explained.

In an effort to correct this, the city now offers a service contract for organizations that perform services which are normally done by the municipal government. Organizations such as the Lake

Wilderness Arboretum will be able to apply for a service contract and request funding. The money allocated for a service contract can only be used to perform the service. “It took us a while to decide what route we were going to go,� Johnston said. “Once you find out that something is wrong, you

can’t continue to do it. You have to remedy it.�

Organizations like Vine Maple Place and the Maple Valley Food Bank can continue to apply for community grants because their services are for the poor.

The budget is expected to be presented to the City Council sometime in late December at which time the

applications for community grants will be voted on by the Council.

Johnston stated the service grants will probably be approved sometime earlier. “Those organizations need to know if they’re going to get the money sooner than later so they can do their planning,� he said.

live samples for the students to look at and hold. “It was really slimy,� said 14-year-old Mason Blair.

Hopper also explained how shellfish help clean and purify the water in the Sound as they consume plankton. A single oyster, for example, can clean up to 65 gallons of water a day.

If the water is not kept clean, however, the water can become too polluted for the shellfish to survive and their business suffers. Strict testing of the water ensures that the shellfish are not

harmed by toxic chemicals, and if the water is considered harmful, farms like Taylor Shellfish close — sometimes for as long as a month — until the water is deemed clean enough.

Yet, there are some pollutants that the shellfish can’t clean which makes them unhealthy to eat.

Pesticides and fertilizer used on lawns can wash down storm drains which then empty into the Puget Sound. Even certain toothpastes and face cleaners contain small micro-plas-

tics which are not broken down by the time they reach the Sound and can be eaten by marine animals.

Hopper referenced Chesapeake Bay as an example. “It became so polluted they couldn’t harvest anymore,� she said.

Now, native oysters are being reintroduced into the Bay to help clean the water.

The same thing, Hooper said, could happen to Puget Sound.

Several of the students said they planned to make changes to their life based

on what they had heard. “We have to be aware about how we are polluting the environment,� Blair said.

Matt Ratigan, 14, said he plans to use organic fertilizer from now on. “Basically, we’re the main problem,� he said. “But we can do something about it.�

After riding the ferries, the students went to the Seattle Aquarium, where they got to view Puget Sound’s marine life.

Baker also tied the trip in with previous projects

students have done, such as installing rain gardens, which are designed to prevent chemicals and pollutants from entering storm drains. “It’s to teach them that even though they live in Maple Valley, which seems far away, they still affect it (Puget Sound),� Baker said. “It’s about making wise life choices.�

DeBay, however, argued Rydberg’s law experience doesn’t make her knowledgable about fire services. “The problem with my opponent is she doesn’t

While DeBay doesn’t see his firefighting skills as necessarily related to the position, he believes his leadership roles do. He said decreasing revenue is the biggest problem facing Maple Valley Fire. As a firefighter, he has seen how budget cuts can affect the level of service and knows

what will impact service the most. “If budget cuts need to be made, understanding where cuts can be made from my perspective will help me a lot,� he said. “I understand from being at a street level with how it affects the family and service members of Maple Valley.�

Finish the race, keep the pace Following the Tahoma and Kent school district cross country teams has been a great experience for me.

I ran cross country all four years at Sammamish High School, so it is fun for me to write about it, having once shared their perspective.

It’s also been a chance for me to see others go a distance I never went.

I ran competitively sophomore year, but, repeated stress fractures in my shinbone left me struggling just to stay healthy my junior and senior year. I had always dreamed of running for a university on a scholarship, but it didn’t transpire.

It is a pleasure, therefore, for me to watch others earn that opportunity.

Cross country can be hard for a lot of people to understand as a sport.

It’s as basic as you can get — outrun the runner next to you. The rules could fill half a page, double-spaced. A lot of the coaches, like mine, run alongside their athletes during their strenuous workouts instead of bark at them while driving a small cart.

Outside of my team, my other friends could not understand why I ran cross country. Their sentiment was best summed up by the bar patron from Back to the Future Part III. “Run for fun? What kind of fun is that?�

I usually replied with some nerdy historical reference. When the Greeks were informed of their victory at the Battle of Marathon, possible the most significant battle in history, they didn’t hear it from the biggest, most combat-hardened soldier in the phalanx. They heard it from the soldier who could outrun everyone else.

I think, however, Tahoma’s Head Coach Gary Conner best summed it up when he said running is a lifestyle.

It has to be because cross country isn’t for the TJ Martinell Staff Writer

weak of heart.

Don’t let the short shorts fool you. It can be brutal and vicious. In essence, it is a contest to see who can endure the most excruciating pain for 3.1 miles.

It isn’t a test of physical strength, but, of mental perseverance and pain thresholds.

During races, I sometimes ran against runners who were better trained and better conditioned than I, but they didn’t always necessarily beat me.

That is the beauty of the sport. It isn’t all about the training. It’s about the pain tolerance. It’s about the determination. It’s about what you do at the 2 mile marker, when every nerve cell in your body is screaming for you to give up.

You’re at the breaking point, where your mouth is dry, your lips as parched as a desert riverbed. Your arms are exhausted, your chest heaving in and out as frigid air fills and empties your seared lungs. Your legs, which at first had felt like they could go on forever, feel like dead

Dancing for the love of the sport Name a sport. What’s the first thing you think of?

Maybe soccer, baseball, or football.

While those are popular and talented sports, what many of you probably didn’t think of is dance.

There are controversies everywhere doubting that dance is even a sport in the first place. As a member of a dance team, I myself have faced a lot of these suspicions and doubts, especially from people in my high school.

They all seem to wonder the same thing, and that’s the question if dance is even hard.

No one seems to know how rough our workouts are or if we even compete against other dance teams.

It’s hard to be a sport if there’s no competition.

Since “dance� is a general term, doubters believe that anyone can dance and that it doesn’t take much talent at all.

What most people don’t know, however, is the behind the scenes work on what it takes to be a dance team. A dance team is the same as a team of any other sport.

It’s a collection of people who have the same passion for a certain thing.

I’ve never experienced a group so tightly knit together as the dance team.

Relationships with our coaches are just as strong.

We know that they are there not only to challenge us, but to guide us as well.

Every year we become like a second family, and sports teams need that quality in order to perform well.

They need to know that they rely on each other, and dance teams possess that characteristic.

As for the workouts, I feel sore just thinking about them. It’s important to train every day, whether it’s with your dance team or not.

weights dragging you down into the muddy grass. You’re paranoid everyone is right on your tail, waiting for you to quit.

At that point, it comes down to a single fundamental question: Do you keep the pace or not?

My best performances were when I did. The best runners keep the pace and then some.

After reading this, some of you may wonder, “So why would anyone put themselves through this?�

It’s all about the finish line.

There is no greater source of satisfaction than crossing the finish line in a cross country race without a single ounce of energy left to spare in your body.

As you crumble to the ground, sometimes pulled forward by someone in front of you, you are allowed to relish the fact that you gave it your all.

There was nothing left for you to give. You performed to the highest capable level.

Like Conner said, it’s a lifestyle.

ibility, and muscle strength are essential for a dancer.

It’s important to be able to keep up with the music, which can be tiring, so if you can’t do that, you’ll fall behind quickly.

Stretching is necessary for every movement of a dancer, but some specific examples are kicks or the splits.

Flexibility doesn’t just happen overnight; it takes months or even years to be a flexible dancer.

Our strength is needed to hold ourselves up in stalls in hip hop, or pirouettes in jazz or lyrical.

No, we might not have the same workout as football players, but it’s just as hard for our sport.

We train until we become just as sore, and we’re determined to keep going until we can be the best.

Yes, dance teams do com-

plete against each other.

It’s not just performances in front of the school, like what most people see.

There are competitions where teams are determined to win, just like any other sports team.

The effort we put into building relationships, fundraising for outfits, and training until the splits don’t even break a sweat, affects our overall performance.

Because when we perform, we don’t just dance.

We dance to win.

Karen Crowe has substance Boy, all the letters to the editor supporting Noel Gerken are interesting.

Never before has the deputy mayor (Letter to the Editor published in the Oct. 21 edition) taken such a direct action in supporting any candidate. Of course, she has groomed and supported candidates in opposition to sitting council members when they ran for re-election.

I can only suppose Karen Crowe is mounting a strong enough campaign that Gerken is very worried.

I hope he is worried. At the candidate debate on Wednesday (Oct. 19) at the Maple Valley Black Diamond Chamber luncheon Gerken came across as pompous and completely out of touch with the community. He whined that he hasn’t attended any chamber luncheons these last two years because he didn’t feel very welcome.

Hello Mr. Gerken, maybe there is a reason you aren’t feeling the love. Maybe it has to do with the lack of support you are fostering with our business community. Do you really expect to be able to kick the Maple Valley businesses in the teeth and still have them love you? You bumbled

through the questions and answers whereas Karen Crowe was clear, concise, and well spoken. She was the obvious winner. I hope our citizens will discount your campaign rhetoric significantly and not let you manipulate this election.

Maple Valley does not need candidates who can simply buy the election by outspending their opponent. We need substance in our candidates and Karen Crowe has substance. She is no ones puppet and will serve all the citizens. I believe it is time for a change and Karen Crowe would be a refreshing addition to the Maple Valley City Council.

his passion and care for this community through his involvement in multiple community events, youth activities and local politics.

Sean’s balanced approach recognizes the need to listen, understand, asks questions and work collaboratively towards addressing and resolving the issues our community is faced with.

He is not afraid to take part in making tough decisions knowing the amount of effort and work it takes to find the answers. He is also very willing to share how the decision came about with complete openness.

Throughout Sean’s life he has shown in detail his desire to serve the public.

He knows the expectations placed upon him, the challenges he faces and the willingness to still want to do it. I believe this shows commitment, character and heart for something he is so passionate about, our community.

I invite you to vote for Sean P. Kelly.

Black Diamond must avoid panic

I have known Sean P. Kelly since he was a young boy. I understand Sean’s desire to want to continue to be involved in the future of this community. I see

Mr. (Dennis) Box wrote a very bold and forthright editorial in the Oct. 21 issue of the Maple ValleyCovington-Black Diamond Reporter describing the

October 28, 2011 [7]

“White Elephant Lurking in Black Diamond�.

I really think that Mr. Box hit the nail on the head when he stated “Boiled to it’s simplest form, the issue causing the most angst are the number of homes. The number 6,000 looms large for some of the residents living in Black Diamond.

That is more homes than people living in the town right now.�

I believe this is a case of panic versus clear thinking.

Panic sees 6,000 new homes, traffic congestion everywhere, school problems, water run off problems, more crime, more dirty city streets, more logging‌ one thought feeds on another.

Clear thinking sees that the only way that Black Diamond would ever grow to such a size is by prospective new home owners finding our community to be a desirable place to call home and raise a family. If there are problems that make if feel otherwise, no one will purchase a new home here.

The development process itself, by necessity, has to keep this town feeling like a place a new family would want to call home. Why would Yarrow Bay plan it’s own demise by creating an environment no one wants to live in?

Take a deep breath. Let common sense and planning prevail.

Harvey Senecal (Papa Passarelli) Black Diamond

Kelly would stay engaged I have known Sean P. Kelly for a number of years, and I think it is important that voters learn about who Sean really is.

If you’ve ever been to Maple Valley Days, you might have noticed the guy with the golf cart and the walkie-talkie, who helps lead the team to make this event successful. He is the central hub between the city, the county, the parks department, police and fire departments for the weekend. He shows up before it starts, and he’s one of the last people to leave. That’s Sean P. Kelly If you’ve ever been to a Maple Valley City Council meeting, you will remember that there are very few citizens who ever show up to watch the proceedings.

There’s one guy in the back taking notes, and you can find him there every Monday night in the audience.

Even though he doesn’t have to be there, he still stays engaged. That’s Sean P. Kelly.

If you’ve ever attended a National Night Out, your kids may have been able to climb in a SWAT team vehicle, on a bouncy house, or on King County’s Guardian One helicopter (in years where there aren’t budget cuts). In the Glacier Valley neighborhood, over 300 people attended this event. Somebody had to make those requests for the

community, coordinate the event and make it all happen. That’s Sean P. Kelly.

Tahoma High School football games, basketball, wrestling, the list goes on; he does it all. Quite simply, when you need to bring people from various backgrounds together and create something remarkable, you call Sean. When you need a detail-oriented person to take care of all the small things, you call Sean.

He won’t ever tell you these things himself, and the titles of “Event Manager� or “Vice President� don’t tell the whole story.

I am wholeheartedly endorsing Sean P. Kelly because I believe he is the best person to represent us on our City Council. I hope you will too.

AIDS AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) is the last stage of the disease caused by HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), a retrovirus that targets the host’s immune system. When the immune system is no longer able to work properly, the patient is left extremely vulnerable to infections that an otherwise healthy person would easily fight off. AIDS is not a separate virus. A diagnosis of AIDS is made when a person infected with HIV has an immune system T cell count below a certain number. Though there are remarkable new drugs that can prolong the length of time an infected person lives and improve the quality of their life, there is still no cure for AIDS. If you have any reason to suspect that you have been infected with HIV, see your health care provider. By law, your diagnosis will be kept confidential.

If you have HIV, there are many things you can do for yourself to stay healthy. First, make sure you have a health care provider who knows how to treat HIV. Begin treatment promptly, keep your appointments, and follow your doctor’s instructions. If your doctor prescribes medication, take it just the way he or she tells you to because taking only some of your medicine gives your HIV infection more chance to fight back.

For more information, please call Southlake Clinic at (253) 395-1972. Our primary care providers are part of a multi-specialty physician network and are also available on Saturdays. We are located at 27005 168th Place SE in Covington.

He is also committed to making sure the planning is balanced, sustainable and in character with Maple Valley.

Having worked with Bill as a board member of the Greater Maple Valley-Black Diamond Chamber of Commerce, I know that he challenges people to bring their best ideas to the table to problem solve, develop a manageable scope of work grounded in sound fiscal policy.

Woodcock has the knowledge I have had the privilege to act as a “Moderator� at two different venues or forums recently where candidates for various city council positions spoke and fielded questions posed by the Chamber of Commerce, the Maple Valley Reporter and audience members.

Although, from the beginning I have backed Bill Woodcock for position # 1 in the Maple Valley Council race, I couldn’t help but take note of the cordiality and courtesies extended from Bill to his opponent Sean Kelly, and Sean to Bill.

When they openly stated that they were friends, it was believable. So what is a voter to do when two smart, engaging young men are running for local office.

Flipping a coin, or as they used to say in Colonial days, toss up cross and pile, would be one way to make the choice; but we can do better than that.

Woodcock gets things done

Gary Habenicht Ravensdale

Jeff Snelling Ravensdale

If you want Maple Valley to move forward and actually have a reason to stay here in the valley to shop and do business, then Bill Woodcock needs to be elected to the Maple Valley City Council this November.

I’ve known Bill for over 10 years and what continues to amaze me about him is how he gets things done.

Somehow he always manages to find a way to cut through bureaucracy by taking the straightest line to solutions.

That means getting off his butt and talking to people.

Phone calls, in person meetings, email...Bill is always busy.

That’s the kind of person we need on the council right now. Bill is that person that can act as a catalyst to get Maple Valley moving and prepare for the future.

Although I live in Ravensdale, I try to do my shopping and business in Maple Valley as much as I possibly can and I would love to see more businesses here so I can spend my money here at home.

What Maple Valley does impacts me directly and that’s why I hope Bill Woodcock has your vote come November 8.

dilemma for those voters who have not yet made up their mind because they don’t know enough about either candidate, I offer the following.

Would the country be in the same economic quandary had Hillary Clinton been the Democrat standard bearer instead of a young inexperienced congressman from Illinois?

I think not.

Like President Obama, Mrs. Clinton too, would have successfully ridden the anti Bush campaign and a need for something different feeling so many Americans were expressing.

I believe that her coalition building skills and experience would have moved our country to a better place economically.

The point of this comparison for me is that there is a place and a time to acknowledge experience and that experience and commitment make for sound leadership.

Bill Woodcock has the experience and working knowledge of the many issues confronting the future of the city of Maple Valley.

He can hit the ground running, representing the interest of all of the stakeholders not only within the city but also those from outside the city who view the city as part of the greater community.

PARADE AND OBSERVANCE

Vote for change Nov. 8 The economic and political unrest that was the setting of Charles Dickens’s novel, “A Tale of Two Cities�, could surely be set again in the city of Black Diamond over the last couple of years. The point is that the city of Black Diamond is in turmoil due to the lack of political leadership and limited economic viability. This has been nursed along by the teat of private funding agreements and an addiction to spending that is fueled only by levies and taxes.

Nowhere in America does the sheer uncertainty of how we will govern become clearer than in our small, rural community.

This is not about land use. It is about open and transparent government, accountability, and the right of the people to govern themselves versus their government being controlled by lobbyists and corporations.

Under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution we have the right to speak freely without government interference and the right to gather in public to march, protest, demonstrate, carry signs and otherwise express our views in a nonviolent way.

This also means people can join and associate with groups and organizations without interference and that all have the right to appeal to government in favor of or against policies that affect them or that they feel strongly about.

This freedom includes the right to gather signatures in support of a cause and to lobby legislative bodies for or against legislation.

The relevancy of this in my letter is tied to the city’s continued insistence in their responses and supplemental response to the hearing examiner and the courts that somehow blame the citizens for trying to participate in the public process, and the city’s dogged efforts to actively watch and search for citizen organizations and then to call them out as something conspiratorial.

I am very concerned that the developer’s right to due process, as zealously facilitated by the city of Black Diamond, is coming at the cost of the citizen’s First Amendment rights.

The citizen’s right to due process should be equally defended.

The city is the one who has violated the law with its illegal process that has put us into year (two), month (four), of a quasi-judicial state.

We have to continually fight for the basic right to participate, as the city continues its collateral attack on the public participation process.

We must engage in the basic principles of democracy, become informed on the issues, and be willing to speak out and engage in robust debate about current affairs.

We need a government that represents our values.

This is what it really means to be an American, where we came from, and where we are going as a nation.

Vote for change; Vote for a voice; Vote Nov. 8th!

This month’s featured advertiser‌ Tina McDonough, a Re/Max Realtor based out of Black Diamond, has been in business since May 2004.

McDonough believes her approach to her clients sets her apart. “I believe that how I care about each individual contract I’m in and the personal touches I put into each sale make me stand out from the others,� she said. “I truly love my job and the people I get the privilege to work with every day!�

Even though the market is tough, McDonough said, with the amount of short sales, foreclosures and bank owned homes, it also provides excellent opportunities for potential buyers. “Stay positive!,�

McDonough said. “Don’t believe everything you see on TV and on the national level. Each area is unique and so you must speak with your local agent to your individual area.�

McDonough is not just a local businesswoman, she’s a volunteer and leader of the Valley Girls & Guys, the largest team in Washington State the past two years in the Susan G. Komen’s Foundation 3-Day Walk for the Cure.

With more than 150 members on the team,Valley Girls & Guys raised $320,000 by the end of the 3-Day in late September, raising more money than any other team in the state ,and likely more than any other in the country. Tina has been involved in the 3 Day walk since 2007, and her commitment to the cause is clear - even on her business cards - which have the Re/Max balloon logo over the pink breast cancer awareness ribbon.

he onset of the psychiatric and cognitive symptoms of dementia can vary depending on what is causing it, and the location and number of damaged brain cells. Some types of dementia progress slowly, while others cause a sudden onset of symptoms; warning signs will be observed. In elderly care, Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia, but it can also be caused by a blockage of blood supply to the brain, sustained use of alcohol, head trauma, as well as some other causes.

Dementia refers to a group of symptoms caused by the damage or death of the brain’s nerve cells. Warning signs can include when an individual has trouble with new memories, relies on memory helpers, has trouble finding words, and/or struggles with completing familiar actions. There can be confusion about time, place, or people, and the misplacement of familiar objects. Depression, irritability, and even personality changes can be seen in a person with the onset of dementia. The loss of interest in important responsibilities may be a warning sign, as well as bad decision making. Other psychiatric symptoms which are warning signs are seeing or hearing things, or expressing false beliefs. An individual is likely to need elder care services if they are exhibiting these warning signs in order for them to be safe.

Warning signs and symptoms should be observed closely in order to communicate well with physicians for proper diagnosis and treatment.

A patient should be seen by a doctor who is an expert in dementia, and should have complete medical tests as well as neuropsychological tests.

Visitingangels.com provides non-medical elder care home services, and their staff is trained and qualified to care for individuals with dementia.

This allows for the individual to remain in the familiar surroundings of their homes, while providing respite care for their families.

What to do when you’re a victim of an Internet phishing scam Nearly one in five Americans report that they have been the victim of a phishing scam, according to the results of a survey conducted by Experian, the leading global services information company. Here are some important things to know if you become a victim: DO: t Notify law enforcement. It may help prevent similar activity from happening to you or others in the future. t File an online report with the Federal Trade Commission. You can log on to www. consumer.gov/idtheft for step-by-step instructions on how to file a report. t Contact sources that report fraudulent information. It’s important to contact your bank or credit card companies that handle accounts that may have been compromised.

DON’T: t Delay reporting. Immediate action is essential to mitigate the potentially negative consequences that can result from fraudulent activity. t Be embarrassed. Every year, a staggering number of people are victims of phishing activity. t Reinvent the wheel. While it may be helpful to take additional precautionary measures in the future (e.g., subscribing to an identity theft monitoring service, such as that available at www.protectmyid.com), it may not be necessary to replace your electronic devices. However, you should ensure that you have up to date anti-virus and desktop firewall protections.

XXX DPWJOHUPOSFQPSUFS DPN t XXX NBQMFWBMMFZSFQPSUFS DPN [ SCHOOL from page 1 ] King County Elections mailed out ballots Oct. 19 for the Nov. 8 general election. Kent School Board positions are unpaid, fouryear terms.

DISTRICT 1 Russell Hanscom Hanscom said the time commitment to his three young boys and his job didn’t leave him with anytime to campaign and probably won’t allow him to devote enough time to serve on the board.

But Hanscom, 45, of Kent, executive director of Puyallup Tribe Elder and Vulnerable Adult Services, didn’t withdraw his name from the ballot. “I’m not actively seeking office but people should have choices,� said Hanscom, whose wife Jennifer Hanscom serves on the East Hill Elementary PTA. “But I am the lameduck choice.�

If elected, Hanscom said he would decide within a

couple of weeks whether to accept the position. “I don’t want to tell people not to vote for me,� said Hanscom, a seven-year resident of Kent. “I’m still keeping my options open.�

Larry Sims Sims, making his first run for an elected office, looks forward to the chance to serve on the school board. “I have a desire to get more involved and this is something I could add value to,� said Sims, who has a child at Kentridge High School and another one at Emerald Park Elementary. “I think I will bring a business outlook but also as a parent I have concern about the overall quality and making sure the things we do don’t take away from the overall quality of our education system.�

Sims, 44, has lived in Kent for 17 years. He is a manager for The Boeing Co. in Auburn and has worked 23 years for the company. “Overall, I am pleased

with the Kent School District,� Sims said. “I think there is always the opportunity to do better, but I think they are doing fairly well in meeting the educational needs.�

Sims said he would like to see improvement in the education of students. “I want to make sure the educational gap of our children can close,� he said. “I want to make sure all of our kids are prepared for the future.�

As far as budget cuts, Sims said it’s premature for him to offer specific ideas now until he has a chance to examine the budget and find what opportunities there are to be more efficient.

When told about Hanscom’s uncertainty about whether he would serve on the board if elected, Sims said he had no reaction besides “that’s something personal with him.�

DISTRICT 3 Leslie Kae Hamada Hamada, who lives in an unincorporated part of

October 28, 2011 [15]

Covington, retired nine months ago after 32 years in sales, marketing and public relation jobs, said she plans to make serving on the school board a full-time commitment.

Hamada, 64, started the Kent East Hill Kids (Police Action League) Boxing Club that opened this summer at the Kent Phoenix Academy.

She said her work with the city of Kent and Kent School District on that project is a skill she can bring to the board to form more partnerships with local cities and community groups. “We need partnerships to stretch dollars,� said Hamada, who ran unsuccessfully against Geoff Simpson and Mark Hargrove in the 2008 primary for the state House District 47 Position No. 1 seat.

An emphasis to persuade state leaders to properly fund schools looms as a top priority for Hamada, the mother of three grown children who attended

school in the University Place School District.

She and her husband have lived in the Kent School District for the past 20 years. “We need more of a presence of the Kent School District in Olympia,� said Hamada about an effort to pursue more funding.

Hamada isn’t unhappy with the service of Straus on the board, but wants her chance to serve Kent schools. “She’s a fine lady,� Hamada said of Straus. “But I have superior skills to form partnerships and work with the Legislature. And I have more time.�

Debbie Straus Straus, who ran unopposed when she was elected in 2007 to the board, said she has had a few people ask her why she would want to run again after having to deal with a strike by teachers in 2009 and numerous budget cuts. “I really care about kids and making sure the district

From Victor Evans: “Halloween was a real deal in Black Diamond. There were about three or four nights. They couldn’t accomplish everything on one night. There would be gate night. Mom says they had a big heavy gate down on their place. On gate night, that gate would end up on top of the flag pole up there in the grounds. The outhouse night was the worst one. Practically everybody’s outhouse was knocked over.

They’d take the wheels off the wagons and put them in odd places.

This was a traditional thing for all the kids. They didn’t have trick or treat, they just went out and did mischief. A lot of the people used to really lock things up as good as they could and they still had problems trying keep things in shape.�

When some of our more “seasoned citizens� were asked about Halloween, and what used to happen in Historic Black Diamond, they told tales such as these:

stays fiscally sound while doing the right things for kids,� Straus said.

Straus, 47, of Kent, said one of those things includes the Strategic Plan Steering Committee she leads that features 65 community members who have worked with the board and administration to develop seven priorities to help each student achieve success. “We need to focus on every kid as an individual and how we can help each child be successful,� said Straus, the mother of three Kentlake High graduates as well as a Kentlake freshman.

Straus, who has lived in the district 23 years, said her accomplishments on the board include offering full-day kindergarten at all 28 elementary schools for the first time this school year. “I think consistency is important for a good, strong board,� Straus said. “I am anxious to continue what we’re doing.�

Vera Dudik Kidd remembers: “When we had Halloween, the men (boarders) invented a ghost.

They would slip up the stairs and they had all the equipment. They would come down stairs and it was dark and maybe another guy would be behind him with a lantern. They put a sheet over their head and walked with this thing and scared the life out of us kids.

That’s all I remember about that Halloween party, was that ghost came out every Halloween.� VERA DUDIK KIDD Submitted by: JoAnne Matsumura Black Diamond Historical Society

BOUNCE IT UP

Megan Sheridan and Steve Taylor had just taken Hudson (4yo) to a birthday party at a bounce place. Of course it was 30min away; just like everything from the Maple Valley area.

They came home and started discussing the need for something just like this for the local kids (and most importantly moms) in the area. This was April 29. They opened Bounce it Up (BIU) in Black Diamond on July 5th 2010. From the

beginning friendships have begun; both for Megan and Steve, but also for Hudson. Now parents come in to talk and Hudson takes their kids to be worn out!

The other really important thing that they wanted BIU to provide, was an avenue for bringing the community together.

When you walk in the doors of BIU you will notice a wall full of local business information. These are all owned by local families and are all benefiting from each other. They also offer vendor nights at their Wednesday Family Night

drop-ins. These vendor nights encourage shopping local and learning about businesses that are in our area that you are able to support. This is what small businesses do in small communities. Bring everyone together and keep the community engaged.

One of the other contributions Megan and Steve make to the community is through fundraising for local non-profits both at BIU and at their home. Upcoming events include November 4 at their home to raise money for the Valley Girls

and Guys 3 day team. BIU will host the Maple Valley Community Center and Covington Elementary fundraisers. These fundraising options are available to all groups in the area-call and set up a date for your next fundraising event.

Megan and Steve are currently in the process of gathering investors for their next family based business for our community.

Tahoma charges Kentridge

BY DENNIS BOX dbox@maplevalleyreporter.com

KENTWOOD FOOTBALL HOLDS OFF AUBURN RIVERSIDE Kentwood put together a win over Auburn Riverside on Oct. 21, getting the 27-13 victory at French Field, assuring the Conquerors a spot in the playoffs.

Visa Thach scored first for the Conquerors on a 55-yard run followed by a 62-yard pass from quarterback Dane Manio to Jonathan Ohashi to make it 14-0 in the first quarter.

Thach added a 5-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter and Matt Hubbard put the insurance score on the board from one yard out to make it 27-7.

Kentwood plays its final regular season game at 7 p.m. Friday against Kentridge at French Field.

With a win, Kentwood will take the No. 2 seed from the South Puget Sound League North Division, while Kentridge could miss making the playoffs.

It was a football battle from the first kick to the final ticks on the clock at Maxwell Stadium Oct. 21 between Tahoma and Kentridge.

The Bears pulled ahead at the end for a 46-42 victory over the Chargers, securing a spot in the playoffs, and a shot at either second or third in the South Puget Sound League North.

If a game was ever a shoot out, this was it. High scoring and momentum swings from quarter to quarter and from one play to the next.

Kentridge stars Jimmie Davis and Caleb Smith gave Tahoma all it could handle, with both scoring touchdowns in the first quarter.

Tahoma kept within reach in the first half behind the running of Beau Riggs and Jason Smith along with the passing of Shane Nelson.

At the half Tahoma trailed 36-26.

It was the third quarter that turned the tide with Tahoma scoring 13 unanswered points. One touchdown to Smith on a

18-yard Nelson pass and another 53-yard pass play for six.

The Tahoma defense found the answer to containing Kentridge until late in the fourth when Kaid Tipton took it into the end zone from a John Hamilton pass.

Riggs had posted the final six for Tahoma on a 6-yard run and David Stroecker nailed the extra point that gave the Bears the margin of victory it needed.

Nelson was 13 of 21 for 179 yards and two touchdowns. Smith had another great game with 6 catches for 119 yards and two TD’s. Riggs ran for 116 yards and 3 touchdowns on 23 carries.

On defense Smith and Denham Patricelli led the way with nine tackles. Justin Ross had eight tackles while Wil Anderson had two fumble recoveries.

Tahoma takes on Mount Rainier at 7 p.m. on Thursday at Highline Stadium.

Kentlake one win away from undefeated season

BY KRIS HILL khill@covingtonreporter.com

Kentlake scored 37 points in the first half en route to a 58-26 victory Oct. 20 over South Puget Sound League South opponent Emerald Ridge.

The Falcons scored on interception returns, on a quarterback keeper, on passing and running plays.

Tanner Lucas put Kentlake on the board first with a 40-yard touchdown run.

Caleb Mathena made it 14-0 with a 39-yard touchdown reception with 5:20 left in the first quarter.

Emerald Ridge’s Kris Durr took it to the Kentlake 4-yard-line on a third and 12 play which set up a Drew Livingston touchdown run with 16 seconds left in the first to make it 14-6 Kentlake.

That was about as close as the Jaguars got to the Falcons.

Mathena got his second touchdown of the night shortly thereafter on an interception return.

Ryan Archibald scored the next touchdown for Kentlake on a pick six.

Tanner Lucas took it up the middle to punch it in for the Falcons to make it 34-6 with 3:24 left in the first half.

Austin Pernell took a 32 yard dart from Church which set up a Mitchell Habryle field goal to make it 37-6 at halftime.

Caleb Saulo ran it in from three yards out for Kentlake’s first score of the second half, about three and a half minutes into the third quarter, to make it 44-6.

Emerald Ridge still had some fight in it, though, and two plays later Dylan Cruse broke out for a 69-yard touchdown run to make it 44-12.

Darryl Parker punched it

Kentlake’s Ryan Archibald returns an interception during a game against Emerald Ridge on Oct. 20. CHARLES CORTES, The Reporter in from three yards out on the Falcons’ next possession to make it 51-12.

Trevor Baldwin, who had an interception late in the second half to set up the field goal, wrapped up the scoring for Kentlake when he caught the ball on the Emerald Ridge 10 and broke away from a tackler to take it into the endzone to make it 58-26.

Kentlake improved to 8-0 overall with the win.

The Falcons, who stand at 7-0 in the South Puget Sound League North Division, will play their final regular season game against Kent-Meridian at 7 p.m. on Thursday at French Field.

Bears lead the pack at subdistrict meet Tahoma girls win meet, boys take second place

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@maplevalleyreporter.com

Tahoma had a great day at the South Puget Sound League sub-district cross country meet on Oct. 22 at Fort Steilacoom park.

The girls took home first place, while the boys placed second, which qualifies them to advance to the West Central District meet on Saturday.

Kent School District runners did well, too, with the fleet footed pair of Alexia Martin and Ruby Virk from Kent-Meridian earning spots at the district meet, as well as Megan Rogers of Kentlake, who finished 14th, and fellow Falcon Terra CROSS McGinnis, who finished right behind her teammate — a significant improvement over her showing a year ago when she finished 53rd.

Bears Head Coach Gary Conner was pleased with the performance of both teams. “They ran really well,�

Conner said. “That’s the first time I really let them run.�

Top runners for the Tahoma girls included junior Elizabeth Oosterhout, who finished third with a time of 18 minutes, 52 seconds, and freshman Abby Atchison who came in fifth at 19:14. “I felt really good,� Oosterhout said. “I had some really good competition. It was close to my best time, so it was exciting.�

Conner said he was equally pleased with her performance. “She’s rocking,� he said. “She’s the real deal.�

Atchison said she was pleased with her time, which is a personal record. “I was really excited,� she said. “It was a lot faster than I had run before.�

Conner stated he expects Atchison to run under 19 minutes at the state cham-

Kentridge, Kentlake finish two-three at league meet South Puget Sound League North Division teams take top four places at girls swim league championship meet with Kentridge finishing second, Kentlake close behind in third and Tahoma making a strong showing in fourth place

A

ll hail the South Puget Sound League North.

At the SPSL girls swim and dive championship meet the top four teams were from the North: Mount Rainier ran away with it tallying 264 points followed by Kentridge (159), Kentlake (157) and Tahoma (138).

Kentlake freshman Jennifer Stefenescu won the 200 yard freestyle in 2 minutes, 6.22 seconds while Kentwood senior Paige Morris finished third and Tahoma junior Anna Pierre finished fourth.

Stefenescu also qualified for the West Central District meet in the 100 fly as did teammate Abigail Swanson.

Kyndal Phillips, a sophomore from Kentlake, took second place in the 200 individual medley when she touched the wall in 2:15.23 and added a district qualifying time in the 100 breaststroke, an event she will be swimming with teammate Mekena Eha. Eha also qualified for districts in the 200 IM. Junior Emily Tanasse finished second in the 100 fly with

SPSL North playoff scenarios As week nine approaches, there are three things that are certain about the South Puget Sound League North football playoffs.

First, Kentlake is the No. 1 seed out of the division, which it clinched with a win over Auburn two weeks ago.

Second, Kentwood is assured a playoff berth.

Third, Tahoma is also assured a playoff berth.

On a related note, Thomas Jefferson — which beat Kentwood but lost to Tahoma and Kentlake — is making its first playoff appearance in school history.

What is left to be decided now is who will get the second through fifth seeds. If Kentwood beats Kentridge on Friday, it will get the second seed because it beat

[ PACK from page 16] pionship meet.

On the Tahoma boy’s team, junior James Dagley came in third with a time of 16:10. Like Atchison, he also ran a PR at the subdistrict meet. “It was where I was seeded to be,� he said. “So it was where I wanted to be.�

Dagley said that although he didn’t break 16 minutes at the meet, he will attempt to do so at the district or state meet.

Conner has no doubts about it.

“They’re going to run faster still,� he said. “It’s gonna come down to a few points and a few seconds.�

On the Kent-Meridian girls team, Martin, a junior, placed fourth at 19:01. She also placed fourth at last year’s subdistrict meet.

Virk, a freshman on the Royals squad, crossed the finish line in 10th at 20 minutes. On the boys varsity, senior Teddy Teklu finished 13th at 16:53.

Kentwood’s Danny Lunder didn’t quite perform as well as he had hoped.

Changing the myth of scary dentistry, one smile at a time...

a time of 1:02.46 and add a fifth place finish in the 50 free.

Falcon freshman Laura Williams qualified for the district meet in the 100 free and added a third place finish in the 100 breaststroke, also good enough for an appearance at districts in that event.

Kentlake senior Sarah Dougherty and junior Danielle Brooks both qualified for the district meet in the 100 backstroke.

The Falcons finished second in the 200 free relay with a district qualifying time of 1:44.71 while putting together a sixth place finish in the 400 free.

Kentridge senior Emily Mohr clocked a state qualifying time of 24.35 seconds when she came in second in the 50 free.

A pair of Chargers finished 1-2 in the 100 free: Mohr touched the wall first clocking a state qualifying time of 54.16 followed by Emily Shonka at 57.28, who also qualified for districts in the 200 IM. Chargers junior Flannery Allen will swim in the 50 and 100 free at districts.

Kentridge won the 200 free relay with a state qualifying Tahoma, and if Tahoma also beats Mount Rainier — a winless team thus far — then it will be the third seed.

Jefferson can do no better than the third seed but things could get interesting if Kentridge and Mount Rainier both win. Then the matchup between Auburn and Auburn Riverside could determine where things fall from there.

If Kentwood, Tahoma and Auburn win on Friday, then Kentridge and Riverside are out and Auburn gets the fifth seed which will set the Trojans up for a pigtail game. If, however, Riverside wins then Kentridge gets in as the No. 5 and Auburn will be out.

Tahoma could earn the second seed if it beats Mount Rainier and Kentridge wins.

The rest of the seeds could fall a number of different ways depending on who wins between Auburn and Riverside.

The playoff picture should be clear once all the dust has settled on the field Friday night.

He ended up finishing 23rd with a time of 17:06, compared to last year, when he placed seventh. Junior Dasan Telford was able to finish 18th at 16:58.

The top 20 runners and top four teams advance to the West Central District meet, which will be Saturday, Oct. 29 at the American Lake Golf Course.

The winners will then advance to the state championship Nov. 5 in Pasco.

Police Blotter COVINGTON Oct. 23 GRAFFITI: Southeast 272nd Street and 192nd Avenue Southeast. Graffiti, described as that of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;satanic cultâ&#x20AC;? in the police report, was found on various fences throughout the Timberlane neighborhood.

Oct. 21 DOMESTIC DISTURBANCE: 19000 block of Southeast 269th Street.

A couple got into a fight after the

Oct. 19 ATTEMPTED BREAK-IN: 25400 block of 167th Place Southeast.

Shortly before noon, the resident was home alone when she heard knocking at her front door, but she did not answer because she thought it was a solicitor. The door bell kept ringing and there was also knocking on the door which finally stopped.

The woman discovered later that someone tried to open the rear sliding glass door to get into the home.

SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES: 19600 block of Timberlane Driver.

A man is caught in a parked car at Jenkins Creek Park with a 16-yearold girl around 10:30 p.m.

[22] October 28, 2011

Becoming the technology savvy mom my husband for not reading the instructions, because I think you either understand how to hook up electronics or you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure the instructions would have helped him.

What my husband is really good at is buying really expensive cables. I guess he figures expensive cables will solve problems. I hate to know how many sets of unused, really expensive cables we have lying around. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know what most of them were purchased for and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think he remembers either.

When he decides cables must be purchased, I just stay out of his way because he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t listen to reason.

Even expensive cables wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help unless you have them hooked into the right place.

The last set of expensive cables he bought was for a surround sound he got for

free as a reward through work. I was not happy when the surround sound entered our lives. It was not wireless, so the idea of having wires strung around the room did not bode well with me. The whole affair resulted in strung wires with most of them not staying hooked to their speakers (compliments of the cats).

That particular surround sound system was also a five disc DVD player, which makes no sense to me when you can only watch one DVD at a time. So even though the surround sound was working (except for the unhooked applause and bass speakers), he bought some expensive cables to make the 5 disc DVD player work. I was uninterested in helping with that endeavor, so it never got done. When we

remodeled and rearranged, the surround sound was downgraded to a sound bar under the TV. But we still own the expensive cables.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m some kind of genius with electronics.

Sometimes luck is as good as anything. But when I pick up the instructions I do know what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking at and I know where to start.

I knew exactly what to do to hook up the DVD player to AV1 after I read the instructions. So with some help from the kids getting the TV off the wall, I switched the very expensive cables around. I did have some sound interference, so I just unplugged and plugged the sound cables into the VCR/DVD player until I had the right combination.

My daughter was elated.

She could watch movies

on the AV1 source and the lines across the picture were gone. She wanted to taunt her father over the fact that mom fixed the DVD player problem, but I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let her. I reminded her that if it was a car her dad could have fixed it with no problem.

But I have to admit, I went around with a particular glow of pride all day.

Because for at least as long as my daughter watched her new set of DVDs that day, I was cool. My daughters are teens; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not cool very often anymore.

iar because she is currently serving as our own superintendent of the Renton School District. She is recognized as a national expert in the field of education and most recently selected as

the 2011 Washington state superintendent of the year.

Her discernment and foresight of the big picture of issues facing our community is unmatched. She acts with precision and speaks with

conviction and authority.

Mary Alice has continued to extend her knowledgeable base this past year by serving as a member of the Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Advisory Council at the Valley Medical Center Hospital. Add this to her resume that includes experience as an executive manager, handling large

budgets, personnel issues and major policy decisions. Mary Alice is very well positioned to be the new commissioner on the district board for Valley Medical Center.

So remember, when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to mark your ballot, Mary Alice is that exceptional commissioner

candidate. She will serve and protect the mission and needs of our historical Hospital District No. 1. Mary Alice Heuschel is worthy of your support in this election.

Vote for Mary Alice Heuschel The name Mary Alice Heuschel will sound famil-

it up so the DVD player would only play using channel three. It played, but there were lines through the picture; which oddly enough did not bother my husband. If I had hooked it up and there were lines through the picture, it would have bothered him.

The lines through the picture did bother my youngest daughter and we both knew I had the ability to fix it. Last week she pleaded with me to fix it before I left the house for the day.

I knew the cables had to be directly attached to the AV1 port. The Wii was on AV2.

So I did what every wife would do, I got out the instructions. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blame

LIVING WITH GLEIGH

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just get the white electronic elephant out of the roomâ&#x20AC;Ś My husband cannot hook up electronics properly. I am usually the electronics hook up person.

So when we remodeled a year ago, we moved the TV, VCR/DVD player and Wii. I had hooked it up in its previous location and my husband hooked it up in its current location. Everything worked; sort of.

Like many typical American familes, we have a large HD TV. Instead of having to change the TV channel to watch a DVD, if you have it hooked up right, you change the â&#x20AC;&#x153;sourceâ&#x20AC;? to AV1 or AV2 using the TV remote. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a screen dedicated just to the DVD player.

My husband had hooked
