Police say Lake Wilderness trail is safe

City Council backs effort to reclassify cannabis

Despite a shooting in December 2010, the Lake Wilderness Trail is no more dangerous than any other part of the city, according to Maple Valley Police.

In 2011 there were five crimes reported on the trail. There were two strong arm robberies in April and late December, an assault in September and two physical assaults in October.

Yet, when examined closely, Sgt. James Corey said, the crimes were all minor in comparison to the highly publicized December 2010 shooting which led to Shayne Willis being charged with two counts of assault in the first degree.

“It’s my opinion that had we not had these shootings occurred none of these would have attracted attention,” Corey said.

“I believe that is what has drawn so much attention to the trail because one, the trail is something that is regularly used by residents of the city. I think it (the shooting) was a real shock to the community.”

Another problem, Corey said, is that some of the crimes are falsely reported. For example, a

The Maple Valley City Council has thrown its support behind the movement for the federal government to reclassify medical marijuana as a Schedule II drug.

At its Feb. 21 meeting, the City Council approved a motion to support a Nov. 30, 2011 joint letter submitted by Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee and Gov. Christine Gregoire to Administrator Michele Leonhart of the Drug Enforcement Administration.

In the letter, they requested that Leonhart consider reclassifying marijuana as a Schedule II drug.

Under the Controlled Substances Act, marijuana is classified as a Schedule I drug, which means it has a high potential for abuse and cannot be sold or used under any circumstances. Changing it to a Schedule II drug would allow it to be used for medical purposes.

The governors’ letter, however, only supports the non-smoking use of medical marijuana.

Washington voters passed Initiative 692 in 1998, which protects the physicians who prescribe medical marijuana for those with terminal or debilitating conditions, as well as the patient, under

Leap Day centenarian reflects on long life

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@maplevalleyreporter.com

Beatrice Baldridge just recently turned 100 years old.

She also celebrated her 25th birthday.

Baldridge, who lives in Maple Valley, was born on Leap Day, Feb. 29. Having a birthday that comes around only once every four years, she said, was something that bothered her as a child.

“I felt very slighted that I didn’t have a birthday like everyone else,” she said. “And then I grew up and realized it was special.”

In many ways, Baldridge has the ability to say things that are also special in that few others can say. A child during the Roaring Twenties, she graduated from high school during the bottom of the Great Depression, yet was still able to attend a local business college. National historic events, such

as the Dust Bowl, are also part of her personal history.

Baldridge was born Beatrice Troutman in Carthage, Mo. in 1912. The Titanic was months away from her maiden voyage.

World War I was two years away.

The first sports radio broadcast wouldn’t take place for another eight years, and the first “talkie” film wouldn’t be released for another 15 years. Henry Ford’s Model T was only four years old.

Baseball would remain in the Dead Ball Era for another five years. Americans didn’t have to pay an income tax, and there was no federal minimum wage. [ more LEAP page 10]

Student learning in the digital classroom skehoe@covingtonreporter.com

New technology is not just for teachers. Students now have many tools at their disposal they didn’t even have five years ago.

While laptops, document cameras and Power Point presentations have replaced overhead projectors, dry erase pens and transparencies for educators, technology tools are replacing hard copies of text books, pen and paper for students.

Ninth graders in the Kent School District were all issued laptops at the start of the school year while Tahoma grade schoolers have been using netbooks for two years while other bleeding edge technologies are finding their way into the hands of students.

FROM THE PENCIL TO THE APPLE IPAD Through the use of funds generated by the 2010 technology levy, Tahoma students have access to a wide variety of software programs and digital equipment. With netbooks, students are able to work One department where technology has made huge inroads has been special education in the Tahoma School District. Carol Banks, special services coordinator, stated the new software and equipment has opened new opportunities for students, who either suffer from physical or academic disabilities. Apple iPads, with their accessible and normal aesthetic appearance, have been among

Freshmen at Kent-Meridian High — like those across the district in its one to one program — were issued a laptop at the start of the school year.

Students work with Adobe Photoshop, create and edit videos and use Moodle, a place for students to turn in assignments, view grades and receive assignments from teachers.

Other technology in the Kent-Meridian classrooms include SMART boards and digital cameras. “Having a laptop really helps me learn,� said Anya Cheban, a Kent-Meridian freshman. “I think that this will benefit me a lot because most jobs now deal with technology, so it’s good to learn now.�

Teens at K-M said their laptops make them better students. “It makes me more interested in the stuff being taught in class and it makes me more organized,� said Vinnie Malietufa, freshman. “When the time comes for a test or something, I don’t have to try and dig for my notes in my locker or bag because they’re in a folder on my computer.�

Sophomore Taniel Mathia says the laptops have helped him get his grades up. “I’m a visual learner and so the computers have really helped me because I can look at what the teacher is talking about on my screen,� he said.

Some students described the laptops as second instructor. “Before the laptops came, we only got information and help from our teacher,�

Glacier Park fifth grader Haylee Bowcut uses an Apple iPad to complete an assignment while her teacher, Brandon Betlach, provides assistance. TJ MARTINELL, The Reporter said Ruby Virk, sophomore. “Now we have extra resources online to help us soak up a concept. We can use Google to look up something we don’t understand.�

The laptops have also meant students access textbooks on their computers instead of a hard copy textbook. “It’s so much nicer to have the textbook online,�

Virk said. “Then we don’t have to haul around these heavy books in our backpacks.�

The students admitted they sometimes do get distracted by their laptops in the classroom. “I’ve noticed many students playing games instead of listening or taking notes

during a class, but only if the teacher is talking on and on or we are watching a boring video,� said Peyton Hatlen, freshman.

Hatlen pointed out teachers have access to each students’ computer and can stop a student who is misusing it. Administration has blocked student access to social media sites including Facebook and Tumblr. “If a teacher catches you using you computer for a bad reason they can send you a message that will say, ‘big brother is watching you,’ which creeps us out so we usually stop,� Hatlen said.

The students are interested in getting more technology in the classroom. They mentioned they’d be inter-

ested in an iPad, sleeker laptops and Xbox Kinect. “Using technology to learn really captures our attention, it makes boring things more interesting and it inspires us to do our work,� Hatlen said.

Students have many options for use of technology.

In Tahoma, for example, there is a course which included a “Zine Project,� where students created their own small magazine publication. When the class was taught by Kimberly Allison in 1994, who currently works at Cedar River Middle School, the technology was very primitive.

Students had to paste all the work together onto the [ more STUDENTS page 4 ]

the more popular among those students. “They’re very interactive for our kids,� she said. “Our kids are really engaged.�

Along with the iPad are a myriad of software programs they use, such as Touchchat, Pictello and Read Out Loud. Touchchat allows students with speech debilitations to communicate by spelling or selecting icons from a visual display on the screen. Their messages are then are spoken with a built-in voice synthesizer. Pictello is for children who cannot write but can use visual images to learn new words. Read Out Loud allows students to access books online that are then read back to them.

These software programs are also available to the students when they go home as well as on the school district’s netbooks.

While Banks said that the department has had equipment for a while to handle the software, they were clunky and heavy, while the iPad’s portability makes it ideal for the students to carry around.

According to Bev Kesselring, who teaches ninth grade language arts at Tahoma Junior High, these software programs are accessible to any student, regardless of the department. Although Kindles haven’t made their way into the classroom, students can also download novels through a program called Bookshare. Kesselring added that many of the students are intelligent but their impairments prevent them from demonstrating it.

the click of a mouse, where they can search through countless other sites on the Internet, which means much of the work can be done from their netbooks.

They can also use other websites as the basis for their own work.

Additionally, the students can share their work through the use of Google Docs, which allows all of them to access and edit the same file online.

At Tahoma High, video production students like Jacob Larson are able to use the same equipment as that of an independent film studio. Apple programs such as iMotion help create special effects for videos, in addition to editing programs like Final Cut Pro X, which was also used to make movies such as “Napoleon Dynamite.� Updates are included as a part of the school’s licenses. “It’s the best the school can provide,� Larson said of the special effects technology. “It makes it real enough so that you get the image in your mind.�

Allison and Walt Szklarski, the Tahoma Instructional Technology coordinator, stated that they are in the process of implementing a plan to have Google Apps available to the entire school district from sixth to 12th

grade. Also, every student will be given a school gmail account, which can be monitored and controlled by the school district.

They are also working on obtaining netbooks for use by students in kindergarten through third grade in addition to Internet access. “It’s going to improve communication, collaboration and creativity,� Allison said.

Google Apps, Allison said, will aid students trying to share information on team projects or communicating about classwork.

USING TECHNOLOGY TO ENGAGE STUDENTS While many students said netbooks and Internet access have made much of their classwork easier those in the special services department seem to have been impacted most.

Banks explained that students can have learning impairments due to a variety of issues. For some, reading is problematic, while others have no problem reading, but struggle trying to understand and process the information. Even then, there are students who can read and write just fine, but suffer from extreme timidity that prevents them from speaking up in class when they don’t understand a topic.

Banks said with programs like Active Votes, students who once went through the day without understanding the concepts taught, can inform the teacher without revealing their identity.

In Kesselring’s class, one student was unable to pass a test because she couldn’t comprehend the material by reading. Through the use of Read Out Loud, however, she scored a B on her next test. “They’re very bright kids, but because of their disability, they’re not able to get the information out there.

Now they can,� Banks said.

Unfortunately for the special service students, they are unable to use the software programs as part of the state required Measurement of Student Progress (MSP) test, which Kesselring says can be frustrating for her students.

When they reach high school, however, they may be able to make use of those tools when taking the High School Proficiency Exam. “I’ve seen kids that are smart, but they can’t show that they’re smart until the 10th grade,� Kesselring explained.

Jamie Mercer, who teaches at Tahoma Middle School, said new equipment allows the students more of an opportunity to interact,

rather than passively listen during class. “Their level of engagement is tenfold,� she said. “They would much prefer to use a computer or an iPad, anything we have available. Because of that engagement every year the kids are leaving here with higher and higher level of skills.�

The use of iPads and netbooks also gives students equipment that they are fond of using outside of school which improves their use of it, according to Tahoma High physical education instructor Jeana Haag, who uses an iPad as a part of her outdoor activities. “For students, they can always ask what’s going on in class,� she said. “It allows us to do more with students to visually demonstrate things to them. It’s the type of media they are used to.�

Another way it has impacted student learning is how it has helped individualize their learning pace rather than have to wait for other students when working on classwork, according to Kelli Sepanen-Proctor, who teaches Spanish at Kentwood. Through the use of online audio lessons that come free with the class textbook, her freshman [ more STUDENTS page 16]

XXX DPWJOHUPOSFQPSUFS DPN t XXX NBQMFWBMMFZSFQPSUFS DPN strong arm robbery that took place New Year’s Day was originally reported as two crimes after a suspect claimed to have been robbed.

According to Corey two suspects stole a laptop from a juvenile’s house during a drinking party.

The two suspects were then walking down the Lake Wilderness Trail when

the stolen laptop was taken from them.

This incident initially drew further concerns about the safety of the trail, Corey said.

Additionally, most of the assault cases were not what Corey considers to be especially violent, such as when a woman was slapped by a man after she had pushed him for an allegedly rude comment. In another case, a juvenile was punched

when a dollar was stolen from him. “All of them, even the two strong arm robberies, were not serious in nature,�

Corey said. “You’re talking a minor assault, intimidation. It’s not anything that’s considered to be a serious crime of violence.�

Nevertheless Corey stated the police department has added more patrols to the trail which have worked to remove people who could

potentially cause trouble.

Due to a City Council inquiry, Corey said, they are now tracking when the patrols occur so the information is available if requested. “We’re being more aggressive in our efforts to we catch anyone on the trail that is loitering or appears to be up to no good after the hours of darkness,� he said. “We’re doing what we can to keep the trail clear

reclassify medical marijuana, federal preemption makes any state action irrelevant, according to City Manager David Johnston. “It doesn’t matter what the state governments do,� he said. “That’s what’s lost within this debate within the state. It doesn’t matter what the states do to make marijuana legal or not. It’s still a federal crime.�

Federal preemption refers to the Supremacy Clause in the Constitution, which invalidates any state law which contradicts a federal law. By reclassifying marijuana to a Schedule II, Johnston stated, the legal confusion over matters such as medial marijuana gardens would be easier to settle. “If it’s a legal drug, then its prescribed by physicians through a truly regulated process because it would then be dispensed through pharmacies, not the question mark of medical dispensaries or collective gardens,� he said. “It’s treated like any other medicine.�

Mayor Bill Allison stated he decided to support the letter because he believes there are legitimate medical uses for marijuana. “I’ve had very close friends who have family members who have suffered from cancer and the only way to dull the pain was medical cannabis,� he said. “It was the only thing that worked, and I think if we look at taking it from a something that is sold on the streets and dispensaries and we make it federally regulated, it provides regulation and control.�

The city first dealt with the issue of medical marijuana in July 2011, when they passed a year-long moratorium on dispensaries and collective gardens.

But, as the one year mark approaches, the city will have to decide what to do from there. “We still have options,�

Johnston said. “We can pretend there’s no preemption and we’ll try to regulate the industry using state law as our guide. We won’t focus

on the regulating of the business as part of the law.

You can regulate the medical marijuana. We might just focus on land use. Or we can just do nothing and then it’s laissez-faire. Then what happens is if they have a collective complaint there’s nothing we can do about it.�

Allison also stated the laws have made it difficult for the city to put the right codes in place. “We don’t have zoning for the gardens and dispensaries and that’s something where we want to make sure we have all of our ducks in a row and that we’re doing it right,� he said. “The hard part is having the state law disagree with the federal.�

The motion to support the letter was made after a report by Councilor Layne Barnes, who serves on the Public Issues Committee of the Suburban Cities Association (SCA PIC), which is currently considering whether to support Gregoire’s letter.

of people who are not there for legal or reasonable purpose. I hate to call it a safety emphasis because‌the trail is not unsafe. It’s no more unsafe than if somebody is walking down the roadway.�

Council member Sean

Kelly stated that the council’s inquiry aside, they believe the trail is still safe to use. “It’s just so we can kind of get some data on the hours,�

Kelly said. “They’re (police) doing really good.�

Learning to pick your battles

TJ Martinell Staff Writer

OUR CORNER

As the middle child of three boys, I was always in a state of warfare with one of my siblings while growing up.

My parents, in an attempt to bring a quasidĂŠtente to our household, told (just) me to pick my battles.

Whether anyone else, including my parents, actually practiced that adage was beside the point.

I learned to not engage unless it was necessary.

At the Maple Valley City Council meetings, battles are often fought that could be avoided.

Last week’s meeting featured one of those confrontations.

The opening shots were fired when Karen Crowe spoke during the initial public comment about the Council’s imminent approval of the new planning commissioners. Crowe had been one of the applicants, but had been ostensible told by Community Development Director Ty Peterson during her interview that being a board member on the Maple Valley Black Diamond Chamber of Commerce could be perceived as a conflict of interest. Crowe offered to tender her resignation if appointed.

Crowe and her husband run a business called EnviroSpect Northwest, located at Four Corners.

Only one planning commissioner is allowed to be a business owner whose principal area of business is located inside of the city, is statelicensed or has a city-issued business license.

A little more change here Change is the only constant.

So, let me tell you about the latest change around here: we have a new assistant editor.

Except, this isn’t really a change at all.

Hi, my name is Kris Hill, and I’m now the assistant editor of the Covington-Maple ValleyBlack Diamond Reporter.

I’m smirking a bit as I write this. Anyone who knows me at all is not surprised.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m thrilled to be promoted, for the recognition of my hard work but on the flip side it’s also a bit amusing.

Whenever someone is promoted within Sound Publishing an email is sent out to everyone to inform employees.

Two were sent out not too long ago announcing changes that indirectly affected me — Regional Editor Dennis Box left the Kent Reporter to take on the Enumclaw and Bonney Lake papers while Auburn Editor Mark Klaas became Regional Editor, taking on the responsibility for the Kent paper, as well.

Within those all-company emails is always some information about how the person whose title has changed came to Sound Kirs Hill

One of the planning commissioners recommended for approval was Ryan Ryals, who runs I-5 Driving School in Maple Valley. He also served as Allison’s campaign manager during his race against Jim Flynn in 2009.

Guess where Crowe saw a conflict of interest.

During the ensuing discussion, Councilor Layne Barnes expressed concern for the recommendations as well. To be sure, there were legitimate reasons for further discussion before the approval was made. Out of 12 applicants, those Allison and Deputy Mayor Victoria Laise-Jonas recommended were Sandy Brecker, Douglas Fortner, Anna Jones and Ryals. Recommended for alternate commissioners were Chuck Knick-

Publishing and some other basic biographical details.

I was promoted officially on March 8 and as of the time of this writing, I haven’t seen an all-company email, but it will come eventually.

If I were to write it, though, it might read a little something like this.

Kris Hill has been appointed assistant editor of the Covington-Maple Valley-Black Diamond Reporter.

She started the newspaper in September 2005 after working as a sports and business writer for the Kent, Renton and Auburn Reporters the previous two and a half years.

Hill grew up in Bellevue, having graduated from Interlake High before spending two years at Gonzaga University, then graduated with a communications degree from the University of Washington in 2000.

She lived in Las Vegas for two and half torturous years while her husband, Jason, finished his business degree at UNLV. They returned to the Northwest in late 2002. It took them about 24 hours to high tail it out of Nevada and pull into the driveway of her in-laws’ house in Bellevue in December. They missed the rain and the trees.

In 2004 Hill and her husband moved to Maple Valley. Living in the community played a part in landing the job at the CovingtonMaple Valley Reporter when it came time to start it.

Over the past six and a half years it’s been quite a roller coaster ride but she is ready to take on this next step in her journalistic journey.

But, if you really knew me, you’d know I never set out to be an editor. My goal while in

college was to be a beat writer for the WNBA then eventually write for Sports Illustrated.

Change is constant, however, and life is unpredictable. Turns out I’m far more versatile than I ever would have guessed when I was a junior at the University of Washington when I applied to the School of Communications.

Here I am, in a leadership position, essentially running the paper.

Of course, all of you who read regularly and know me are aware I’ve really been in charge since Dennis came along, I just let him think he was the boss.

Were I sending an email or text message to Dennis on his non-smartphone I would add a winking emoticon here to indicate sarcasm — it goes well with the smirk.

I have loved most of the time I’ve been on the job here, though there have been times where I’ve felt like I was stuck upside down on the roller coaster, and I hope to continue putting out a newspaper I’m proud to put my name on every week.

This has been a great place to live, to raise my daughter Lyla and to work.

If you really, really knew you would know there have been days I’ve had doubts about this job, about my value here, about my ability to get this newspaper to the press on time and my ability to be a leader.

Today, though, nearly 24 hours after I was promoted I feel confident I can do this because in many ways I have been for the past year.

Now the training wheels are off.

And, while change may be the only constant, this change isn’t really much of a change at all.

For that I am thankful.

erbocker and Bevel Hoffpauir respectively.

Two of the commissioners, Fortner and Jones, have only lived in the city for four months, while one of the alternatives, Hoofpauir, doesn’t live in the city, but runs a business within the city limits.

Yet, when examined, those applicants come with very lengthy resumes.

Fortner, for example, has a B.A. in Political Science, a J.D. from the University of Washington, and a Masters degree in Public Administration. He has worked as a town planner, city attorney and deputy prosecuting attorney. At the

XXX DPWJOHUPOSFQPSUFS DPN t XXX NBQMFWBMMFZSFQPSUFS DPN [MARTINELL from page 6] moment, he is currently Steilacoom’s Community Development Department manager.

That’s about as qualified as you’re going to get for a volunteer position.

But, as Crowe and Barnes inferred, Frotner wasn’t the one who really drew concerns.

This is where the mood started to change.

When given the chance to speak, Noel Gerken applauded the mayor and deputy mayor for “not selecting politicians to the planning commission.�

Whether that was an implied message to Crowe who unsuccessfully tried to unseat him in the November election - depends all on interpretation.

While Barnes approached the controversial matter very delicately, Linda Johnson launched the verbal equivalent of a blitzkrieg on the mayor and deputy mayor, whom she accused of treating three unnamed candidates disrespectfully during their interviews. Johnson also attacked Allison’s decision to recommend Ryals, declaring that it was “nepotism at its highest.� “It made be legal,� she said. “But it does not pass the sniff test. It is nothing more than political rhetoric, and it is being done for the future political needs of some council members.�

She then attacked Ryals, claiming that his columns published in this news-

Multiple sclerosis (“MS�) is an autoimmune disease that affects more women than men. Although it can strike at any time, it is most often diagnosed when the patient is between 20 and 40 years of age. The cause of MS is still unknown, but it may be genetic or even the result of a virus. People with a family history of the disease seem to be more likely to be diagnosed with it, as do people in certain parts of the world where MS is more frequently diagnosed. The disease occurs when the protective covering that surrounds nerve cells, the myelin sheath, is damaged from inflammation. The inflammation happens when the body’s immune system attacks the nervous system. Symptoms of MS are quite varied.

The course of the disease is difficult for doctors to predict. Some people live with MS for years without suffering serious symptoms while others may rapidly become disabled. To slow the long-term progression of the disease and reduce the frequency of flare ups, doctors prescribe “disease-modifying� agents.

squabble was (seemingly) over a volunteer, unpaid position for a commission that has, quite frankly, no authority beyond its powers of persuasion.

This was not akin to President Obama nominating David Axelrod to the Supreme Court right after the 2008 presidential election.

The Planning Commission can only recommend a proposal to the City Council, which the Council can choose to approve or ignore at their discretion.

In fact, the council just recently demonstrated the commission’s limitations at its Feb. 27 meeting, when they voted to remove one of the Commission’s recommendations from the Northwest Quadrant SubArea Plan that would have decreased the abandonment period for non-conforming businesses from a year to six months.

To paraphrase the decrepit crusader from “The Last Crusade,� this battle was chosen poorly.

Questions about colonoscopies that save lives Few health care interventions can reduce the risk of dying from a disease by more than 50 percent.

While a colonoscopy might be uncomfortable to talk about, people should pay attention to a new study in the current issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. Researchers found the death rate from colorectal cancer

was reduced by 53 percent in people who had a colonoscopy that detected and removed precancerous growths, called adenomatous polyps.

As a patient, I’d like those odds of survival, even if it means slight discomfort.

Below are some common questions I hear about colonoscopies, including the usual concerns about preparation and the procedure itself.

What message should I take

away from this new study?

This study is tremendously important, and the large sample size and long follow up time lend a great deal of credence to their conclusions. The study shows, quite emphatically, that patients who have precancerous adenomatous polyps identified and removed at colonoscopy are less likely to die from colorectal cancer than the general population. The difference was quite impressive, as well – they were 47 percent as likely to die from colon cancer than the average person who may have had a polyp, but didn’t have

a colonoscopy so it could be identified and removed.

What do I have to do to prepare for a colonoscopy?

A thorough bowel preparation is essential to getting a good look at the colon wall, so even the smallest polyps can be identified and removed. People who don’t finish their prep because it doesn’t taste good, because of cramps, or because of the volume of fluid to drink are really short-changing themselves. The effects of a bowel prep are something that I think everyone has experienced at some point or another – heavy diarrhea. It’s not pleasant,

Cavities are not just caused by a lack of brushing and flossing or by eating too much candy.

A genetic predisposition to cavities can be passed from parent to child. These genetic predispositions include enamel strength, saliva acidity and intraoral bacteria composition. For more information about how to keep your child’s mouth healthy, visit us online at www.akidsplacedentistry.com

these tests are performed by radiologists and are “noninvasive,� or more accurately less invasive. For both, patients still undergo a bowel prep, and in each, the colon gets filled with air to allow evaluation of the wall. A main difference in terms of comfort is that sedation is not administered when the colon gets insufflated. The other main disadvantage is that these tests are purely diagnostic, and not therapeutic – if a polyp is identified, it can’t be removed by X-ray. A colonoscopy would then have to be performed in order to identify the lesion and attempt removal. If no abnormalities were found on barium enema or CT colonography, however, then the risks of sedation and the more invasive procedure (colonoscopy) could be avoided.

Some patients are concerned about the possibility of complications from colonoscopies, but fortunately the rate of serious complications is very low.

If you need a reminder of the importance of a colonoscopy, consider this: Each year, more than 140,000 people are diagnosed with colon or rectal cancer in the United States, and 50,000 people die. Age is the most important risk factor for the disease, so even people who lead a healthy lifestyle can still develop polyps and cancer. Both men and women are equally affected.

Screening should begin at age 50 – or earlier if you have other risk factors.

but it’s manageable and potentially as infrequent as once in 10 years if the colonoscopy is normal.

What will I feel during a colonoscopy?

Colonoscopies are performed with IV sedation and pain medications.

These are given at the start of and during the procedure to keep the patient comfortable. Because air is introduced into the colon in order to see, some bloating and mild cramping during the procedure is to be expected. One of the effects of the sedation is also some amnesia, so most patients don’t even remember how they felt during the colonoscopy once the test is over. The vast majority of patients do great.

How often do you find polyps?

Most studies show that polyps are detected slightly more than 20 percent of the time. Not each and every polyp removed has the potential to turn into a colon or rectal cancer, but with the naked eye we can’t really tell which ones those are. That’s why we remove them and have the pathologist check under the microscope.

Are there alternatives to colonoscopy that are equally effective?

Colonoscopy is considered the “gold standard,� but screening through means other than colonoscopy is better than no screening at all. Other screening tests for colorectal cancer exist and are recognized as satisfactory by multiple organizations.

These include air contrast barium enema and CT colonography. Both of

[10] March 16, 2012 [ LEAP from page 1] Baldridge’s father worked in a hardware store before he moved out onto a farm in Jasper County when she was four years old. There was no electricity on the farm, and the only heat came from their wood stove, which Baldridge

XXX DPWJOHUPOSFQPSUFS DPN t XXX NBQMFWBMMFZSFQPSUFS DPN had to restock herself. Her mother, a homemaker, instilled in her a sense of selfsufficiency by teaching her how to make most of the things they needed in the home from clothes to toy dolls. Although she didn’t realize it at the time, many of the skills she learned from her mother would aid

her later during the austere 1930s and 1940s.

While Baldridge didn’t have to walk to school uphill both ways, she did have to walk two miles to a one-room schoolhouse, where a teacher scarcely out of high school taught 20 students from every grade. The amenities, if any,

were primitive. If they were thirsty, there was a bucket of water and a dipper in the middle of the room. Some textbooks were finished, but others had to be bought.

Instead of a state-wide standardized test, Baldridge had to drive into town to the county courthouse in Carthage in order to take

an examination to complete the eighth grade.

To attend high school, Baldridge and her brother, Leeroy, had to drive into town in his Ford Touring car, which had the luxury of side curtains to protect them from the rain.

When Baldridge graduated in 1931, the country’s

unemployment rate was 15.9 percent. Yet, despite this, she was offered the chance to attend a business college in town for three months. While she was at the school, she and two other girls were brought to the Red Cross headquarters for Federal Relief. At the time, Missouri was also feeling the effects of the Great Drought, and by 1932 charities were feeding 10 percent of the population.

Baldridge talked about it, however, in a matterof-fact fashion, even when she discussed how her father’s crops were almost entirely wiped out, which led to the bank taking over their mortgage. While she lived with her grandmother in town, her father had enough machinery and livestock to move to a smaller piece of land.

Underneath her matterof-fact tone, however, are subtly indications of how great the financial strains were people, particularly when she spoke of how she met her future husband in early 1934. For entertainment, she and her cousin went to the local skating rink to watch particularly skilled skaters, because it didn’t cost them anything.

While they were there, two young men were sitting in front of them. Eventually, they mustered the courage to come over to the two girls and talk to them.

One of them, Kenna Baldridge, had been raised by his grandparents and worked as a telegraph operator for Sinclair Oil. After driving both of them home, he asked if he could see Baldridge again. Impressed by his mannerly demeanor and well-behaved appearance, she agreed. Later that week, they went to a local carnival, where they simply walked around and talked, but were unable to afford anything. The only time Baldridge openly spoke of their frugality was when she recalled how she and Kenna Baldridge once bought an ice cream cone and a cup of coffee at the Hollywood Cafe, which cost a nickel. “That was a big deal,� she said.

When they finally married on July 11, 1935, Baldridge states that they didn’t really have a “wedding,� unless getting married in their pastor’s home with only their immediate family accompanying them counts. “It was just the times,� she said. “So that’s what we did.�

steps down at Kentwood

Kentwood senior Bailey Marshall has high expectations for the fastpitch team this year.

Marshall, an infielder and co-captain, said the Conquerors need to be focused this season to accomplish their goals among them included going back to the 4A state tournament for the first time since 2009.

Kentwood will need to do considerably better than the 7-9 South Puget Sound League North division record itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s posted the past two seasons.

That starts this year with being focused, she said, and working as a team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year what killed us was injuries,â&#x20AC;? Marshall said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is was our year, this was our year.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So, we went all out and by the end of the year we had three or four stars

who were injured.â&#x20AC;?

Marshall was among the hurt players after she suffered a knee injury late in the season. She had surgery after the injury then needed to have surgery again in December so she is just returning to the diamond in recent weeks.

She is also among a core group of seniors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jalynn Rohweder, Kylie Goodwin, Bethany Pfaff, Marshall, Shian Kelly, Rachel Burr â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who have played together for four years which includes co-captain and senior catcher Allison Newcomb. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of talent this year,â&#x20AC;? Newcomb said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have new talent this year, freshmen who we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect this year.â&#x20AC;?

When Marshall and Newcomb were freshmen, both the junior varsity and varsity went 15-1, with the varsity winning [ more TOP page 15 ]

Brian Davis, head basketball coach at Kentwood High, resigned from the position the morning of March 7.

Davis led the Conquerors to a state tournament appearance this season as well as a South Puget Sound League North Division regular season title.

Kentwood won 18 games this season.

In an email interview Davis explained his reason for stepping down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Brian Davis led to me leaving was the need to find full time employment so that I may support my familyâ&#x20AC;?

Davis wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next is hopefully finding a job quickly.â&#x20AC;?

After two seasons at Kentwood, Davis had only positive things to say about the players and the job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coaching at Kentwood was great because the kids want to be the best,â&#x20AC;? he wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a tremendous opportunity and I am grateful that I have tremendous memories from my time.â&#x20AC;?

Davis graduated from Kent-Meridian in 1998.

After Kentwood lost to Garfield in the regional round of the state tournament on Feb. 23, Davis reflected on the season in an email. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The season went very well,â&#x20AC;? Davis told the Reporter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The guys really came on down the stretch of the season (the) last 15 games, last two weeks. Winning a league title, winning 18 games, getting to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (regionals) are all great accomplishments. I was really impressed with how our seniors were tremendous leaders and really competed as a unit to show how much it meant to them. They provided great examples for the underclassmen to follow.â&#x20AC;?

for the fastpitch program.

Fuller is currently attending Highline Community College where he is studying accounting.

Powell played catcher at West Texas A&M University after high school and her day job is at a national chain restaurant.

Both have coaching experience at other levels.

Fuller has coached Kent United in the Kent Youth Soccer Association while Powell coached with Greg Kaas, her former high school coach and the man she is replacing at Kentlake, at Cedar Heights Middle School until the Kent School District cut middle school softball two years ago.

Both thought that they may not be in the running for a head coaching gig at Kentlake because of their ages but it was their youthfulness that helped them both land their jobs.

Coaching for the Falcons was an opportunity neither could pass up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not playing anymore I thought coaching was a good way to stay around the game of soccer,â&#x20AC;? Fuller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought it would be a good way to get some experience.

I interviewed andâ&#x20AC;Ś I was surprised because of my age that I got the opportunity.â&#x20AC;?

Fuller said during his interview that being in his early 20s would allow him to better relate to the players and it also means thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential to be at Kentlake

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of senior leadership on this team,â&#x20AC;?

Powell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to rely on their leadership.â&#x20AC;?

Senior leadership is a strength of the boys soccer team, as well, according to Fuller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a really talented team,â&#x20AC;? Fuller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have 11 seniors, so, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an older team. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all really motivated which makes my job a lot easier so I can just focus on the soccer.â&#x20AC;?

Fuller said it was important for him to come in and set the tone as a new coach.

He wanted the players to know they could work with him to find success on the pitch.

He also believes the team can make the playoffs, something the Falcons havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done in a while, missing out by just one spot last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the seniors who have been on the team two or three years, none of them have played in the playoffs,â&#x20AC;?

Fuller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They want to get there. And the rivalry with Kentwood is definitely a motivating factor.â&#x20AC;?

While both Fuller and Powell may be young relative to other head coaches in the league neither seem to have much to worry about given the talent and experience have on their squads.

Rebuilding year for Tahoma fastpitch Tahomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fastpitch team faces a number of unknowns this season.

For the past two years the squad went 15-1 in league on the strength of a group of six players who graduated in 2011.

Of those six, five are playing college ball at some level â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sammii Jimenez, Shelby Carter, Lisa Maulden, Kiley Dunn and Emily Miller â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is an indicator of the talent level.

This year, the Bears have two seniors, co-captains Hayley Beckstrom and Jordan Walley. Both have been on the varsity since they were freshmen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have taken on a lot more responsibilities,â&#x20AC;? Beckstrom said during practice on March 6. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re teaching (the underclassmen) the program weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known for four years. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s literally rebuilding the program.â&#x20AC;?

Walley noted that as the only seniors on the team, she and Beckstrom will have to find new ways to build chemistry, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we have to find a whole new connection.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re teaching them how we want the program to be in two years,â&#x20AC;? Walley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now our main focus is to be in the top five so we can go to league (playoffs) and try to get back to state.â&#x20AC;?

And until Tahoma plays its four non-league games, just what the team will look like, Walley said, is unknown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After our first four games, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know more,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our whole infield is going to have to learn to communicate. Some of these girls weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just met.â&#x20AC;?

Beckstrom stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In past years, we knew exactly what we had going into the season.â&#x20AC;?

What they do know is the Bears have three pitchers, including Walley, who bats left and throws right. She also can play first base.

And Beckstrom will anchor the middle infield at shortstop.

Both seniors have also committed to play in college â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Beckstrom is heading to Seattle University next year while Walley will head up to Bellingham and Western Washington University.

With those letters of intent signed, both said that allows them to focus on their roles as captains, to enjoy their last season of high school fastpitch and be better leaders overall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for the younger kids and this program because we can push them and help them reach that goal if they want it,â&#x20AC;? Beckstrom said.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll work to help the players with less time on varsity [ more TAHOMA page 15 ]

[ TOP from page 13] the league title.

That was the last time Kentwood went to state.

Getting back, Marshall said, is â&#x20AC;&#x153;definitely a goal.â&#x20AC;?

Along the way, though, Kentwood will have to battle Thomas Jefferson and standout pitcher Katie Jackson.

This season will look different than the past two in many ways, not just the possibility that the Conquerors will get back to state, but that the Raiders and the Conks will likely be battling it out for the SPSL North crown instead of Tahoma and Kentlake which shared the league title in 2010 and 2011. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited for us to be up there the whole season,â&#x20AC;?

Newcomb said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We both have great pitching.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to note, Newcomb said, that Kentwood canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t focus on Jefferson and overlook other teams in the North. She pointed out that Kentridge will be good. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all excited (to play TJ),â&#x20AC;? Newcomb said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a good game.

And so is Kentlake.â&#x20AC;?

Marshall echoed that sentiment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You definitely canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t discount Kentlake,â&#x20AC;? Marshall said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even Tahoma, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re young, but they may surprise the league.â&#x20AC;?

And Newcomb is looking forward to playing Kent-

By then, whatever unknowns Tahoma may have now may be solved.

lake, which has a new coach this season, but returned a number of players.

With the parity, it will be important for the team to work hard in practice, something Newcomb said she and Marshall are focused on this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have new goals this year,â&#x20AC;? Newcomb said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have different ways we plan to run practice and games.

We have different drills.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working harder inside when we hit. We need to have a mentality of wanting to go to state.â&#x20AC;?

Kentwood lost two seniors to graduation so the team which nearly made it to state last year returns all of its core pieces with some new freshman talent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been young,â&#x20AC;?

Marshall said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just unfinished business. This year will be a big year.â&#x20AC;?

Marshall added that she learned a lot as freshman from the seniors she played with then. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The senior class that year, honestly, they were intense,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Back when we were freshmen, we were scared of them.â&#x20AC;?

That intensity, though, the energy those seniors brought to the field was a key factor in the success Kentwood had then.

Marshall thinks it could be the key for the Conks this year, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Watching last year, I

got to see what worked and what didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest thing is energy.â&#x20AC;?

Newcomb said she is

Early on Kentwood will deal with some challenges.

First, the team starts off the season with Thomas Jefferson, always a tough opponent. Plus, there are several new boys on the team, so developing positive communication on and off the field will take some work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a point last year when we started playing together as a team,â&#x20AC;?

Peterson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some new faces this year. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take two games for them to figure that out.â&#x20AC;?

Though there are things which are challenging, Kubeja said, those can be motivating forces.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now you have to be frustrated,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes you want to work on whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frustrated.â&#x20AC;?

Peterson stated that the Conks can also learn from the time in the not so distant past they lost to the Royals from Kent-Meridian who hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t won a game in a while nor beaten their cross-district rival.

In the tough South Puget Sound League North, Pyne said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;every game you have to be ready.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good enough to beat any time in the state,â&#x20AC;? Peterson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, we have to come together. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on us.â&#x20AC;?

much to learn from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playoff run, particularly the semi-final loss to Eastlake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you look at the score of that game, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an indicator of what that game was like,â&#x20AC;? Peterson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They scored on a corner.

They scored off a broken play.â&#x20AC;?

This year the team is starting off on a positive note and learning how to communicate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As long as our work ethic is strong together as a team, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt about how far we can go,â&#x20AC;?

Kubeja said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The communication part is one of the best parts.â&#x20AC;?

doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean the stakes are higher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My whole life Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been playing sports but Kentwood is the place I want to be because of the people,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different than any place Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been before.â&#x20AC;?

With that being said, Pyne added, the Kentwood players know what they have to do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With our success that we had last year, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an even target, so we have to be prepared for that,â&#x20AC;? Pyne said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt that we want to go back and win state. What helped us last year was how Radford prepared us.â&#x20AC;?

Peterson noted there was

UI

That support came from Peterson and a group of other players who pulled him aside and told Kubeja he could take charge in the net. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chris, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the best keepers in the state,â&#x20AC;?

Pyne said.

And while learning to play together again after nine months playing with club teams can be challenging, Peterson said, the players count on the way Aaron Radford coaches them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The way Radford and Tony trains us all year prepares us all year to peak at the end of the year,â&#x20AC;?

Peterson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The way we train is designed for a playoff run.â&#x20AC;?

All three seniors know that there is going to be considerable pressure for the Conks to do well again this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that expectation that you have to do whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needed,â&#x20AC;? Peterson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The community at school is different, too. Because you go to Kentwood, the entire league expects you to win. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of the culture of Kentwood.â&#x20AC;?

Athletes at Kentwood, he added, are expected to win and leave a legacy.

Kubeja wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have it any other way even if it

Lawn renovation and pruning your garden plants under your feet.

1. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about the roots.

The deeper you can encourage your grass roots to grow the less dependent they are on you for food and water.

This means preparing the soil to a depth of 24 inches and improving with it with organic matter will guarantee you a lush green lawn all year. Too late for good soil preparation

because your lawn is already in? Keep reading.

2. Our soil is naturally acidic â&#x20AC;&#x201C; your lawn wants you to add lime.

Dolomite lime, Super Sweet, calcium carbonate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; these are all inexpensive soil additives that make the soil less acidic so grass can absorb more nutrients. Lime also helps break up hard-packed clay soil over time.

3. Lawns need nitrogen

â&#x20AC;&#x201C; slowly. You must fertilize lawns if you want them to look their best. But home gardeners tend to dump too much nitrogen onto the lawn all at one time. This causes a flush of soft green growth that is weak and more susceptible to disease. A lot like a diet of junk food. Get your flabby lawn into shape with slowrelease nitrogen from organic or slow-release lawn foods.

You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see such instant results but, over time, the roots will be encouraged to reach deeper into the soil to grab the nitrogen.

4. Grass clippings are a free source of nitrogen. Leave them on the grass. Yes, I know if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pick up the clippings they will get tracked into the house or left as soggy clumps on the lawn, but those tiny bits of cut grass are an excellent source of organic matter that breaks down into free fertilizer. Collect the biggest grass clumps after you mow and bury them in your beds to compost or plop the wet mass on top of weeds to smother them.

5. Mow more often, but set the mower on high. We

grow cool-season grasses for our climate and they like to be 2 to 3 inches tall before a mower removes only the top one-third of the blade.

A short-cropped lawn has less grass blade available to make its own food and also demands more water to stay green. Unless you own a golf course, there is no reason to give your lawn a crew cut.

Lawn rangers who love the tidy look of a closely-cropped lawn can enjoy the illusion of a short cut with a few mowing tips, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cutting-edge story for next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column.

[ STUDENTS from page 4]

shutdowns, can be frustrating but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a better system for student-teacher communication â&#x20AC;&#x201D; where she can have an answer to a question within minute â&#x20AC;&#x201D; rather than having to wait until the next day. Mueller stated that most of their work now in class is done on notebooks which, he said, has made it a lot easier to turn in homework assignment as opposed to printing it out. Yet not all students have embraced the technological changes. Those

who are more traditionally minded when it comes to classwork have had difficulty adapting to the new system, such as Derek Welch, a freshman at Kentlake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The computer is good, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather have a textbook,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to flip through pages than to scroll up and down a screen.â&#x20AC;?

Fellow Kentlake freshman Xena Aguayo expressed a similar sentiment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more hands on of a person,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more

difficult (for her).â&#x20AC;?

Both Welch and Aguayo said that while the districtissued laptops for ninth graders allows his peers to easily identify each other in the halls and in classes, he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe the laptops are as beneficial to students as it seems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like carrying it around,â&#x20AC;? Welch said.

With a textbook, he stated, students donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about accidentally dropping it or having it easily dam-

aged. Additionally, if they forget one textbook, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include every other textbook, which is what happens when a student forgets his laptop.

In some schools, he said, a student can be given a detention for forgetting their laptop or its charger. Another unforeseen side affect of the use of technology is cheating.

Just as it has become easier for teachers to collect results on online assignments, so too, it is easier for students to copy each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homework

through the use of cut and paste. Even when teachers take precautions to prevent cheating, students can find a way around it, such as a lock which prevents the cut and paste option for text.

Though teachers can use a program called DyKnow to monitor studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; screens, one high school student said that it is used less often than it seems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know any teacher that uses it,â&#x20AC;? they said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just threaten you (with it).â&#x20AC;?

The Compleat Home Gardener

The second week of March is a good time for lawn renovation, pruning and garden clean-up. If your soil is dry and your grass is high you can start your motors and get mowing. Better yet, consider a new landscape design that shrinks your lawn so you can downsize to a lightweight, super-quiet push mower Lawn Rangers are folks with a quest for the perfect lawn and lucky for them growing green grass is pretty easy here in western Washington. You just need to understand the grass roots movement taking place
