Green Team uses hip hop to teach recycling

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@maplevalleyreporter.com

Finding an environmental message in the lyrics of a hip-hop song can be tough.

Students at Rock Creek Elementary, however, had the opportunity to experience just that during lunch on Dec. 7 when the Green Team put on a performance of the “Compost Rap” in the cafeteria to teach their class-

Another step has been taken along the path inside the master planned development labyrinth in Black Diamond.

Monday morning three City Council members unanimously approved the development agreement ordinances.

Council members Bill Boston, Leih Mulvihill and Kristine Hanson voted to approve the development agreement ordinances for Kirkland-based BLACK YarrowBay’s The Villages and Lawson Hills.

The approval of the agreements comes after about seven days of public testimony in July before the city’s hearing examiner, Phil Olbrechts. The hearing examiner recommend approval with conditions.

The ordinances for the two master planned developments, allowing the move into the development agreement stage, were approved unanimously by the five members of the City Council in September 2010.

City Council approves next step for projects

Black Diamond man allegedly sent ‘sexually explicit’ text messages King County prosecutors charged a Kent-Meridian High School track coach and teacher with communication with a minor for immoral purposes Dec. 8.

Prosecutors claim that Ammons, 36, of Black Diamond, allegedly sent “sexually explicit” text messages to a 16-year-old girl, a student at the school, according to charging papers.

“The defendant engaged in sexually explicit text messaging with the 16-year-old victim,” wrote Charles Sergis, senior deputy prosecutor, in the charging papers. “He did so knowing both her age and the fact that she was a former student of his. His actions not only violated the law, but the trust placed in educators to teach and nurture students, not to groom them for sex.”

The Kent School District placed Ammons on paid administrative leave Nov. 8 when the allegations first came to the district’s attention, said district spokesman

mates about the school’s composting program.

The performance is a part of the school’s strategy to become a King County-certified Level 2 green school.

The lyrics were written by Stacie Loftus, the PTSA chairman of recycling. She admitted hip hop music is not a genre she is very familiar with.

“I don’t know anything about

rap,” she said.

She said she decided to choose rap because it was much simpler, and more interesting, than a lecture.

“I picked a rap song because I felt it would be an easy thing to teach, and also an easy thing to write,” she said. “It’s something they can relate to and they can hear the words so they get the message.”

During the performance, the Green Team members wore items such as bagels and cardboard boxes, which can be composted, as a way of giving visual cues to students. [ more GREEN page 4 ]

The feathers flew during the Dec. 6 Planning Commission meeting in Black Diamond and it looks like it will sometime before all is settled.

At the meeting and in the aftermath, several issues arose including a potential violation of the open public meetings act according to Tim Ford, assistant attorney general for government accountability, violations of Constitutional rights and the validity of the commission.

The meeting was recorded and is available at City Hall through a public records request and was

video recorded by an audience member, who posted it to YouTube.

The scene was set when Colin Lund, director of land development from YarrowBay based in Kirkland and Megan Nelson, director of legal affairs, attempted to make a master planned development presentation during public comment.

YarrowBay is currently working on two master planned developments in Black Diamond, The Villages and Lawson Hills.

The projects have been approved by the City Council through the development agreement phase, but the MPD ordinances have been challenged by the Black Diamond group

the meeting for the presentation since they were not on the agenda.

According to the recording of the meeting, the commission initially allowed Lund and Nelson five minutes each to speak.

The commissioners did not appear to know this was to satisfy the presentation requirement.

As Lund began to speak Bob Edelman, a Black Diamond resident and member of Toward Responsible Development, approached the members and raised a question whether YarrowBay should be allowed to continue.

Nelson stated to the commission that YarrowBay was “arguing that it satisfies the requirement (for an MPD application) under your code. There is no requirement we be on the agenda in order to speak during public comment.�

of confusion happened at this point. Commissioner Ron Taylor, who was recently elected to the City Council, stated he disagreed with Nelson and noted the commission controls the agenda. “We already discussed this and determined to take this off the agenda,� Taylor said.

Nelson said, “Right, and it says here (during) public comment you can talk about any item not on the agenda. Our applications are not on the agenda tonight. We are asking to use the five minutes that are allotted for the three people that are here to talk about our applications.�

The Rotary Club of Maple Valley received a grant for a homelessness project.

A check in the amount of $13,500 was presented to Colleen Starr, Executive Director of Vine Maple Place.

The project, which was spearheaded by Bryan Kelley, Maple Valley Rotarian and owner of Maple Valley Auto, will help those at risk of losing their homes by paying to have their car repaired.

The grant will pay for 80 percent of the repair cost, the auto shop will pay for 10 percent, and the family will pay the remaining 10 percent.

The project will be a joint effort between Vine Maple Place, Maple Valley Food Bank and local auto repair shops.

Vern Heinle played Santa a little bit early this year when he delivered toys to the Forgotten Children’s Fund on Dec. 10 Heinle, a Kent resident, got involved with the Seattle-based non-profit four years ago when he connected with Jim Pelletier of Covington.

Heinle is a regular at Shari’s on Kent Kangley Road and 132nd Avenue Southeast in Kent, where Pelletier is the manager, and was encouraged to get involved in the restaurant’s efforts to support the Forgotten Children’s Fund annual Christmas drive.

This year, 78-year-old Heinle delivered 216 of his signature handmade wooden toys, along with the help of three of his grandsons. The toys were placed into nine cheerfully wrapped boxes.

About a year ago, Heinle told the Reporter he got involved because Pelletier’s passion for the Forgotten Children’s Fund was hard to resist. “Over the years, Vern has brought in some of the stuff he’s made, some of the wallets, some of the holsters, some of the jewelry boxes,� Pelletier told the Reporter in November 2010. “The connection was easy. We do a food and toy drive twice a year: Christmas in July and Christmas. In talking about it, one day Vern walked in with these toys he had just created.

I don’t think we officially talked about it. It just happened.�

Last year Heinle made 145 toys, this year his goal was to make 200, with 140 made as of Oct. 13.

A former carpenter of 40 years, Heinle has made toys as a hobby for decades. He started working on his toys for this year’s drive in September.

[ TEACHER from page 1] Chris Loftis. Ammons has been removed from his coaching duties as head track and cross country coach. “He is on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the proceedings against him,� Loftis said in a Friday phone interview. “It’s in the court’s hands now.�

Ammons is scheduled to be arraigned Dec. 22 at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. Kent Police cited Ammons at-large Dec. 6. Prosecutors have asked that bail be set at $50,000 and that Ammons be prohibited from teaching, coaching, volunteering or holding any position of authority over minors while the case is pending.

Ammons led the Kent-Meridian boys track team to its first state track title last May when the Royals captured the Class 4A crown. He has coached track and field at Kent-Meridian for eight years. He led the boys track team to a second place trophy at state in 2009. He coached the school’s cross country teams as well and helped lead the girls team to its first state appearance in November. They placed 16th.

The district plans to post a job opening Jan. 4 for a new

[ PROJECTS from page 4] are documents outlining the rules governing the two projects. The agreements are to provide more ground-level detail than the supporting documentation entered during the MPD hearings.

The City Council members began quasijudicial deliberations on the agreements in September ending with the approval of the ordinances Monday. The MPD ordinances were appealed by Toward Responsible Development in October 2010, which is a group comprised of residents. The appeal is currently working through the superior court system. Toward Responsible Development asked the Puget Sound Growth Management Hearings Board to review the process used to approve the MPD ordinances and the group also filed a LUPA, or Land Use Petition Act appeal, in state superior court. The board remanded the

head coach in track and cross country, Loftis said.

Ammons teaches health and physical education at KentMeridian. His classes this year included health and weight training. The district hired Ammons in 2004 and he has taught for all eight years at the school.

The series of text messages were exchanged between Ammons and the girl from June 27 through Nov. 6. In an Oct. 13 text message, Ammons asked the girl to meet him for sex in the school’s weight room before school. The two also exchanged messages about Ammons paying the girl cash for sex.

The case came to the attention of school officials in early November when a student at another school who knows the 16-year-old girl contacted Kent-Meridian Principal Wade Barringer about inappropriate conversations between a health teacher at the school and a student. The teacher was later identified as Ammons.

Barringer talked to Ammons about the allegations, according to court documents. Ammons told Barringer the phone contacts with the student started on Facebook and the contact continued via text messaging.

The teacher told Barringer that he had exchanged text

ordinances back to the city stating a legislative process should have been used, rather than quasi-judicial, allowing more public participation. The board did not invalidate the ordinances which is why the process advanced to the development agreement stage.

The board decision was argued before state Court of Appeals in November on direct appeal and a ruling is expected in 2012.

DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT HEARING Following the vote approving the agreements, Boston summed up the deliberations as “the culmination of an 18-yearprocess.�

He added, “Change can be difficult.

Change is not always popular, but it will happen.� [ more PROJECTS page 5 ]

messages with the girl asking for money for sex. Ammons said he never intended to act on the suggestion, but, he was afraid to stop texting the girl out of fear that she would expose him.

School officials contacted Kent Police Nov. 8 about the allegations and the police investigation started. Detectives gathered cellphone records and emails that showed Ammons had contacted the girl. Detectives found as many as 46 calls between the girl’s phone and Ammons’ phone from June 27 to Oct. 24. Several more text exchanges occurred after Oct. 24.

Barringer sent a letter to Kent-Meridian parents Dec. 9 to notify them about the allegations against a teacher at the school although he did not name the teacher in the letter.

Loftis sent a district letter Dec. 8 to all staff about the incident. Loftis also sent a statement to the Kent Reporter about the case. “We can’t let the alleged bad acts of one person reflect on the great work of over 3,300 people who come to work every day with character, kindness and professionalism,�

Loftis said.

[ GREEN from page 1] “It’s all paper, it’s all food, and it can all be composted,� Loftus said.

In May 2010, Rock Creek formed a partnership with Cedar Grove Composting, which collects all the school’s compost material on a weekly basis. Doing this, Loftus said, keeps about 60,000 pounds of compost material out of landfills and saves the school about $600 a month. “It’s a tremendous amount we’re saving,� she said. “Anytime we can recycle we save money.�

According to Loftus, the school also donates recyclable material to TerraCycle, which pays them annually based on the total amount. “Anytime we recycle we get money,� she said.

Loftus introduced the song to the Green Team a month ago when she felt like the

club was large enough to put it on. “When the Green Team got to be this size we decided to do it with them,� she said.

Although the entire Green Team put on the performance, fifth grader Sarah Makela led the team after she incorporated other elements into it. “Sarah came up with the hand motions,�

Loftus said. “Sarah added the extra element to make it more authentic.�

Ironically, Makela said her performance was not based off of any rapper or hip hop artist, but off of her little sister, Ami. She added that she enjoyed performing it in front of the younger students. “I get to see the little kids and how they are doing it,� she said.

QFC Meat Donations Help the Hungry Meat is one of the few sources of wholesome, nutritious protein in food pantry visitors’ diets. But for many food pantry visitors, meat is something that rarely is put on the table.

Food pantries that serve the hungry often don’t have the resources to provide meat to the people they serve.

However, for several years now QFC has been able to help these agencies by donating wholesome meat products that no longer meet our standards for appearance or freshness. Last year, QFC donated 560,000 pounds of meat to food pantries in Washington and Oregon. This is part of QFC’s Grocery Rescue program. “Healthy food is important for everyone, but particularly so for low-income people suffering from illnesses, as well as children and seniors. QFC meat donations enable people to maintain healthier lifestyles and give people the energy everyone needs to care for themselves and their families,� says Food Lifeline Grocery Rescue Program Manager Laura Johnson.

QFC stores are allowed to donate any meat product in good condition that is frozen on or before the date on the package. This can include beef, poultry, pork, and seafood, as well as pre-packaged meats such as fully cooked lunch meats and hot dogs.

When meat products no longer meet QFC’s standards for selling to our customers and become eligible to be donated, it is critically important that we maintain safe handling and storage procedures. There are very real cross contamination risks when handling meat. For that reason, we keep all meat donations separate by species while awaiting pickup. We use plastic tubs provided by Oregon Food Bank and Food Lifeline; the bins nest and stack and help us to separate meat by species in our meat freezer. All meat donations are frozen solid before leaving the store.

Practices we follow before donating meat products include: freezing to 0o Fahrenheit on or before the date on the package and separating the

meat by species.

A Food Lifeline agency that participates in the Grocery Rescue program says, “Thanks for the food you give to those in need. We are seeing an increasing need in our community and you are a big part of why we can help.�

By donating product that doesn’t meet our selling standards, QFC helped our neighbors and friends in

Western Washington and Oregon feed their families. This helps people get back on their feet after experiencing challenges like losing their homes or jobs.

Do you have questions about donations? Need additional info? Want to volunteer at a local food pantry? If so, please contact Ken Banks at 425-4622205.

XXX DPWJOHUPOSFQPSUFS DPN t XXX NBQMFWBMMFZSFQPSUFS DPN Boston stated the projects will provide jobs, opportunities for young families to stay in the city, and businesses to locate in the area. “I am proud to be part of the this council both for the MPD ordinances we passed last year and the passage of the development agreements here today with my fellow council members,� he said.

Bob Edelman, a member of Toward Responsible Development, said he wasn’t surprised the agreements were passed, but he noted, “Considering the number of flaws, they are candidates for appeal.�

He stated he didn’t believe all issues recommended by the hearing examiner were addressed including sewer and water availability.

According to Edelman there is a question whether the agreements are “valid because the MPDs are under appeal.

While the underlying issue is under appeal the city can’t rely on anything.�

Edelman said no decision has been made at this point by the group whether or not to appeal the agreement ordinances.

Brian Ross, YarrowBay managing partner, said after the approval of the agreements, “I’m so excited about the future and the ability to move forward on the city’s plan to create a special place in Black Diamond.�

Ross said YarrowBay has vested the plats that the company will now begin working on with the city staff.

CROSSWORD ANSWERS

He said there are about 300 homes projected for the plats.

THREE COUNCIL MEMBERS During the opening stages of the City Council quasi-judicial hearings two members, Bill Saas and Craig Goodwin, recused themselves from the process and did not return.

YarrowBay attorney Nancy Rogers submitted a letter during the appearance of fairness portion of the hearing requesting four of five council members recuse themselves.

The letter stated Mulvihil and Hanson should recuse themselves because they own property near the projects.

The letter stated two other council members, Saas and Goodwin, had ex-parte contact or discussions with opponents of the developments.

Rogers went on to write that by four recusing themselves it would trigger the doctrine of necessity because a quorum, or three of five members, would not be present. This would allow all four to return without legal liability for previous actions. “In this way, YarrowBay

and community member against community member attacks can be avoided, the city’s fiscal interests will be protected, and the full five-member City Council can sit together with the community, to review The Villages and Lawson Hills Development Agreements,� Rogers wrote.

Mulvihill and Hanson chose to return, but Goodwin and Saas did not.

Goodwin disputed there was ex-parte contact but was unwilling to open himself and his family to what he saw as a legal liability.

wave of criticism by opponents.

The projects have been in the works in the city for two decades, but, reached a critical mass when the draft environmental impact statements were released in 2009.

Edelman, a retired chief engineer for The Boeing Co., said he became involved in the process in about 2009.

The November election showed how deep emotions run in the community over the developments.

The incumbents Hanson and Mulvihill both lost by more than a 40 percent spread.

Ron Taylor will be taking Mulvihill’s seat and Tammie Boxx-Deady will join him in Hanson’s position.

Boston retired from the council and Joe May will take his position.

I like to watch movies. I grew up watching movies with my grandma and I knew all the stars from the ‘20s, ‘30s and ‘40s by the time I was 10.

It’s a 1959 picture starring Sandra Dee and Troy Donahue as steamy teenagers. They are playing across Richard Egan and one of old Hollywood’s greatest, Dorothy McGuire.

I thought the film held up better today then it did in the ‘60s.

The cinematographer, Harry Stradling Sr., was a pioneer with Technicolor. He knew how to shoot a scene.

Here is another movie we might consider from the ‘50s that can inform us about our world today — the 1956 film “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,� directed by Don Seigel, staring Kevin McCarthy and Dana Wynter.

The discords of graduation Graduating from high school is one of those achievements every person is able to accomplish once in a life time.

Every aspect of graduation must be perfect for most people, like a wedding night might be for a bride-to-be. Graduation represents a major stepping stone for an 18-year journey that has finally come to an end. But what if one piece of that event doesn’t go the way it usually has been going for as long as students can remember?

A controversial debate among the students of Tahoma High School has been circulating. The school board might make the decision to stop the wearing of cords for clubs in school. National Honors Society, for example, was one of the only clubs among the high school to be allowed special cords for graduation. This decision may be based off of budget restrictions for the school, but what most students are up in arms about is the other

possibility — not allowing honor students to wear cords because of unfairness towards other students. Students who do not have above a 3.5 GPA or non-members of NHS would not be able to wear any academic cords.

Members of NHS, would most likely be unhappiest about this dilemma. Being a member of NHS myself, I can understand why. Working for those grades takes years of work. Members argue that only students with above a 3.5 GPA and who are actively involved in NHS may receive special cords for graduation, and other students have that possibility if they are willing to work for the grade point average.

NHS members put in the extra effort for the club and their grades, and it would seem necessary for them to receive their cords because of that extra input. Other students might be unhappy about the inability to wear cords, but ultimately haven’t been able to accomplish that difficult achievement.

Why should other students take away cords from those who have worked the hardest?

However, for the most part, the issue isn’t whether there should be cords or not, the issue is who should be able to wear cords. Various sports and athletic groups are considering allowing Allison Needles

[6] December 16, 2011

At that point I have to say something cool so the girl doesn’t think I’m a dope and run off with the phone zombie and ruin the movie.

I have discovered, covertly, I am not the only one left fighting the dumb phone cause.

The other day I was at a meeting and Andy the Great nodded for me to come over to him.

He turned sideways so no one could see, then pulled out his phone and smiled.

It was a dumb phone.

A fellow traveler sent me an email yesterday quietly admitting he also had a dumb phone and intended to keep it.

Oh yeah. We are out there. The struggle continues.

Soon we will be expected to put our phones in a reclining chair, play music to be bored by and make little bug sacrifices to it at noon.

As Dr. Miles J. Bennell said at the end of the movie — be careful, you could be next.

graduation cords for athletes who letter in that sport, but some believe that graduation cords are a symbol of academic achievement, and not athletic achievement.

If everyone is able to wear their own cords for any group they are a part of, is there even any purpose of cords anymore? Graduation cords were, after all, created for specifically recognizing outstanding academic achievements.

Administrators in the neighboring Kent School District allow students to wear cords if they have earned certain GPAs. Kentwood High School allows students to wear silver cords if they have a GPA of 3.33 to 3.66 and white cords for students with a 3.67 or higher as well as NHS members, according to Principal Doug Hostetter. Kentlake seniors with a GPA of 3.5 and above can wear cords in addition to members of NHS. Tahoma High School seems to be the only school that is currently in discussion on the issue of allowing cords. The question still remains: should graduation cords be rewarded to those with relations to academic achievements, or should anyone from any club be allowed to wear as many cords as they want?

Allison Needles is a senior at Tahoma High.

NEWS TIPS! We want to hear from you 425.432.1209

his year, the organizers of Munch Madness at Kentwood High set their sights high with a goal to raise 35,000 pounds of food, then blew right past it.

Munch Madness, an annual food drive, was organized by members of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s student government.

Kurt Phelps, who teaches the leadership class at Kentwood and helped run the food drive, said at first it seemed like too much, even though every year they have added to their total donations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve raised the bar every year,â&#x20AC;?

Phelps said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We always go, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh my gosh, no way.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; When I heard 35,000 was our goal I was like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wow.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

By the end of the food drive on Dec. 7, Phelps said the school had already collected 40,000 pounds of food. In 2009, the school raised 28,000 pounds of canned food.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been going awesome,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing awesome.â&#x20AC;?

Much of the success can also be attributed to the driveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bracket system, which was created in 2008 by former ASB president Kevin Massimino.

Inspired by the NCAA tournament style bracketing system, the school posts the results of each classroom after every collection session so that they can see how they compare to the rooms they are competing with. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really good system because it kind of introduces an element of competitionâ&#x20AC;Śat our school,â&#x20AC;? said Ryan Turner, the current ASB president. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone really gets into it. It encourages people to bring in more. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been going awesome.â&#x20AC;?

Whereas last year they only started to pick up donations during the last collections Turner stated that this year the donations have been continuously pouring in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen every single

collection time is recording setting,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the teachers got more into it. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a core group who know strategies (that work), being outside stores. I think they are able to motivate their classes to bring more cans.â&#x20AC;?

Phelps added, however, that the competition goes beyond beating other classrooms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the creativity not just to win, but just the fact that they want to contribute more than we have in the past,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some classes that will set up a schedule to sit out in front of QFC and do two-hour shifts. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten pretty elaborate.â&#x20AC;?

The canned food will be donated to local donation centers such as the Maple Valley Food Bank.

City searches for new court

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@maplevalleyreporter.com

Maple Valley is looking for a new location to use as a municipal courthouse due to overcrowding at the Enumclaw courthouse.

At its Nov. 28 meeting, the City Council authorized City Manager David Johnston to sign a new one-year interlocal agreement with Enumclaw to use its municipal courthouse.

It changed the hourly rate for use from $612 to $654.

Maple Valley will also be directly billed for public defender, interpreter and jury fees.

Johnston explained that this was due to Enumclaw losing money, as the rate hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed since 1999,

when the two cities first handle, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re correct,â&#x20AC;? signed the agreement. Last Johnston said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the year, Johnston and Finance volume of business that Director Tony McCarthy our growing community met with Enumclawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is sending down there it is finance director and adreally tough on their small ministrator, where the costs lobby and small facility.

Johnston said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we modate the increased use take a look at city hall, in

been formed to look into possible options, which will convene in January.

The committee will make its first recommendations in June.

Johnston compared the situation to that of Covington, whose City Council voted in June to move inmates from the King County and Buckely jails to SCORE located in Des Moines starting Jan. 1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the same ball park,â&#x20AC;? Johnston said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have the same jail issues.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to find a new court, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to have a court near a jail, and we have to take a hard look at that.â&#x20AC;?

The interlocal agreement with Enumclaw expires at the end of 2012.

Crestwood principal to stay

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@covingtonreporter.com

Leonora Noble will serve as interim principal of Crestwood Elementary for the remainder of the academic year, according to the Kent School District, as the search for a new principal continues.

Mike Halliday, a district spokesman, stated that the process of hiring a new principal for the school has been halted for now and will resume in spring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The situation is that she is going to be staying with us for the rest of the year,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very happy with her and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very fortunate to have her there.â&#x20AC;?

Halliday said it was uncertain at this point what has prolonged the hiring process.

For Noble, the situation is a very familiar

Three years ago, she served as the interim principal at Ridgetop Junior High in Central Kitsap, which was also having trouble hiring a new principal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a job share situation with another retiree hire,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the same thing. We had to do that for the entire year before they could advertise in the spring time.â&#x20AC;?

Noble was first named interim principal by the school board on Aug. 24 when it became apparent that they would not have a new principal hired by the beginning of school on Sept. 1.

Adopting a kitten to hunt moles in your lawn It is simply an opportunist growing wherever there is cool dampness.

Q. Moles are ruining my lawn! Their runways have made dips and bumps and sinking parts all over the yard.

What is the answer?

A. Moles and voles are ruining my lawn as well.

Trapping is the only real solution and you can go online and try some newly designed mole and mouse traps or buy a scissor-type mole trap from a nursery or home center store. It is not illegal to sell, buy or own mole traps. You could also adopt a kitten with a family background in mole murder.

Most cats prefer cat food to hunting moles and voles but the offspring of good hunters have had amazing success at removing moles and mice in many gardens.

Using chewing gum, human hair and other tricks will not keep moles from Marianne Binetti

serious rainfall. You may want to fence only the rose garden and just grow deerresistant plants in the rest the landscape. Plants that have prickly, furry or gray foliage are not preferred by deer - but deer are browsers and will taste anything.

Some dogs do a good job of keeping deer away, but it is a combination of sprays, noise, dogs and a good fence that works best.

Q. Moss and lichen grow on top of my soil and in my lawn. What can I do?

A. Learn to love the moss monster or start using a hoe, a rake or a hand trowel to turn the moss and lichens under into the topsoil. You might also want to consider covering your soil with a mulch of wood chips or bark to help it dry out.

Now find some comfort in the fact that moss is not hurting your other plants.

The end of 2011 means it is time to answer the most often asked questions of the year- those emails and letters I get over and over.

Just wish I could give better answers to these perennial challenges when it comes to gardening in Western Washington. If you have better solutions for these common problems, send me an email and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll share your garden wisdom: Q. What can I do about all the rain? My bedding plants and seedlings are rotting in the ground.

A. Plant more ferns? Or wait until mid summer to add heat-loving plants like marigolds, tomatoes and peppers to the garden.

Growing in raised beds or containers and using a light-weight potting soil that drains quickly are other ways to prevent plants from rotting in the wet soil.

Q. Slugs eat all the flowers in my garden and all the vegetables as well. I have kids and pets and do not want to use slug bait. Please help!

A. You can blame it on the rain of course, because our damp climate encourages outbreaks of the imported European brown and black slugs. (The large yellow banana slug is a true native - the rest stowaways.)

You can use slug bait safely if you chose one that uses pet-safe iron rather than traditional poison in the pellets. Look for slug baits called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Worry Freeâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sluggoâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Escargoâ&#x20AC;? and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be impressed by the results. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find any slimy mess after you bait with one of these - the iron makes the slugs lose their appetite so they climb under a rock and starve to death. You can also collect slugs after a rain storm, spray tiny slugs with a mix of one third ammonia and two thirds water and use ducks or geese to gobble your slugs. Another slug strategy is to make one raised bed or container garden the slug-free zone and then use slug-resistant plants in the rest of the landscape.

Q. We have lots of deer that insist on eating my roses. Do any deer repellent sprays really work?

A. Nothing works as well as a deer fence - but many deer repellents will work for at least a few weeks in our wet weather. The trick is to keep spraying the new growth and reapply after a

Following the executive session, according to Taylor, the commission adjourned.

Ford stated when reached by phone, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The law requires an attorney be present or present by phone to discuss potential litigation.â&#x20AC;?

Ford noted coming out of the executive session and adjourning may leave the perception of a violation with final action being agreed upon in the closed session. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just depends on what was agreed upon in the executive session,â&#x20AC;? Ford said.

Other issues the commission and city will be looking at following the meeting, according to legal sources, are a violation of free speech by now allowing the public comment to proceed and a violation of due process by not allowing a party to proceed with a legal application to the city.

Nelson stated by phone following the meeting, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were both shocked and disappointed by the outcome of the Planning Commission meeting. We were attempting to follow the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s process for filing an MPD application.â&#x20AC;?

At Kentlake the Falcons have a new leader.

At Kentwood, the team is young.

WORDS TO LIVE BY Carissa Payseno, 18, has a motto that helps her perform well under pressure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think, just go.â&#x20AC;?

The Kentlake High School senior says she learned this from years of competing in gymnastics and she plans on applying it this year as she competes for her schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re up there in front of everyone at a meet, you just reach a mental block,â&#x20AC;?

Payseno said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, I always put mind over matter and chant this to myself.â&#x20AC;?

Carissa Payseno has been doing gymnastics since she was 3 years old and competing at state competitions for seven years through various clubs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I first fell in love with gymnastics after seeing my cousin performing when I was young,â&#x20AC;?

[ GYM from page 13] CONQUERORS LEARNING TO STICK THE LANDING For a team of beginners, Kentwood High Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gymnasts have had a great start to the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The girls are progressing and doing better and better each meet,â&#x20AC;? said Ann Diaz, head coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We only have two girls out of 30 that have ever competed before, so we have a lot of work to do.â&#x20AC;?

The team scored an overall total of 129 at their first meet Nov. 30 against Thomas Jefferson, Kentwood and Federal Way. They tallied a score of 137 against Rogers, Decatur and Puyallup at the latest meet Dec. 7. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really difficult to teach the girls everything they need to know for a

meet in a little amount of time,â&#x20AC;? Diaz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had less than a month to teach a bunch of new people gymnastics and it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy.

Gymnastics isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t something you can just walk in off the street and master â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you have to be cautious about what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing because if you miss a step, injuries happen.â&#x20AC;?

An added challenge is sharing gym space at Kentwood with the Conquerorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wrestling squad. Still, the girls work around it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helpful is that they all have good attitudes and are willing to learn,â&#x20AC;?

Diaz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told them that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care what happens, I just want them to have fun, learn something and get better.â&#x20AC;?

Sophomore Zoe Bregham

is the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leader so far, scoring 14 points the first meet and 15 the next. She competed in club gymnastics for several years before high school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a solid gymnast, but she got a little freaked out the first meet,â&#x20AC;? Diaz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She felt that she was having to compete against people that were much better than her, I told her they probably felt the same way about her. She ended up doing a great job.â&#x20AC;?

Bregham said her coach and her teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s encouragement helped her do well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Personally, we all did pretty good at the last two meets and accomplished all the goals we made,â&#x20AC;?

Bregham said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a team we really connected during those meets because we

cheered everyone.â&#x20AC;?

Bregham thinks her team will continue to get better. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think people that are new to gymnastics will pick up the sport and all that goes with it really soon,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am most looking forward to getting to know my teammates and having fun with everyone.â&#x20AC;?

YAWNING Why do we yawn? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a question that has had plenty of doctors, researchers, and yawners wondering, but one that no one has ever found a way to answer satisfactorily. One new theory is that yawning is a way of forcing the body to act like the radiator in a car, cooling off the brain. As blood flow increases in the neck, face, and head from stretching the jaw, the deep intake of breath makes a downward flow of spinal fluid, and cool air cools the fluids. A thorn in that theory, however, is the fact that people yawn more when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cool than when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warm. Also, this theory doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t answer the question of why yawning is contagious. Some say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible that yawning has some kind of ancient social meaning other than communicating boredom at a meeting.

Yawning is a normal response to fatigue and drowsiness, but excessive yawning can be caused by a vasovagal reaction.

This reaction is caused by the action of a nerve, called the vagus nerve, on the blood vessels. It may indicate a heart problem.

Slightly elevated blood pressure poses risk

disease increases, which can eventually lead to heart attack, stroke or heart failure.

A primary risk factor is obesity. The greater the body mass, the more blood is needed to transport oxygen and nutrients. The higher volume of blood circulating through the blood vessels puts ever more force on the artery walls.

There are other causes as well. Atherosclerosis, the buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries, is quite common. Other contributing conditions are sleep apnea, kidney disease, thyroid disease and adrenal disease.

Poor diet - and lifestyle choices are most often (at Timi Gustafson

Prehypertension is defined by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as a systolic pressure (upper number) of 120 to 139 mmHg and a diastolic pressure (lower number) of 80 to 89.

Higher readings than 140/90 are considered to be hypertension.

Ideally, the normal range should be well below the prehypertension threshold.

When blood pressure rises, the heart has to work harder. If blood pressure remains chronically elevated, the risk of cardiovascular

Your Health

If you think your blood pressure is normal, you may want to double-check with your doctor. According to new guidelines, blood pressure of 120/80 mmHg, which was until recently seen as within a healthy range, is now classified as elevated.

Scientists at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) found that people under the age of 65 who were diagnosed with a condition called â&#x20AC;&#x153;prehypertensionâ&#x20AC;? had a 68 percent increased risk of suffering a stroke compared to those with normal readings.

least in part) responsible for high blood pressure to occur. But even some medications, including birth control pills, cold remedies, painkillers and other prescription drugs can play a role.

So can recreational drugs like cocaine and amphetamines. There is no cure for high blood pressure, only treatment through medication and lifestyle measures like diet and exercise.

Prehypertension should be seen as a warning sign, according to Dr. Bruce Ovbiagele, a professor at UCSD and lead author of the study that lead to the revised guidelines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that people with prehypertension should start taking anti-hypertensive drugs.

Instead, they should modify

their lifestyle, maintain an ideal weight and lower their sodium intake.â&#x20AC;?

The worst you can do is to ignore the numbers, said Dr. Ovbiagele. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be deceived because nothing seems to be going on.â&#x20AC;?

Because there are no specific symptoms for prehypertension or hypertension, people tend to think they can live with the condition.

Nothing could be further from the truth. If you are overweight, even moderately, shed the extra pounds as soon as possible. Exercise regularly.

Nothing is better for your blood pressure and your heart than a rigorous workout several times a week (consult with your doctor if you already have elevated blood pressure and

donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t currently exercise).

Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fish and low-fat dairy products.

Avoid foods that are high in sodium like processed and packaged food items.

Eat foods that are low-fat, low-cholesterol and free of trans fats and other unhealthy ingredients. Cut back on meat, especially red meat. Drink alcohol in only moderation, preferably red wine. Last but not least, manage your stress and get enough sleep.

Why Sugarless Gum? Chewing sugarless gum increases salivary flow, which helps to neutralize and clear bacterial acids. Also, the natural bacteria in the mouth generally cannot metabolize â&#x20AC;&#x153;non-sugarâ&#x20AC;? sweeteners, limiting the acidic episodes.
