Pierce County prosecutors have ruled that the use of deadly force by Bonney Lake Officer Kyle Torgerson and Pierce County Sheriff’s Deputy Tristin Marrs during a Nov. 2011 incident that left one woman dead to be justifiable under the law. Holly M. Crahay, 38, was killed during a traffic standoff with police Nov. 13 in which she fired two shots from a handgun at police, who returned fire, killing the woman. “After the deceased shot at one of the officers, missing by

ance Lobe never expected to travel all the way to the White House to talk about cardiac health issues. But then again, Lobe didn’t
expect to make it out of Kent. “I’m a miracle to even be here,” he said this past week in his Lake Tapps home, recalling the massive heart attack that almost ended his life three years ago. “They call that one ‘The Widowmaker,’” Lobe said, adding that doctors told him he had a 100 percent blockage in an artery and that his heart stopped three different times on the way to the hospital. Lobe, quite obviously, has

HeartFROM 1 changed his lifestyle and now hopes to persuade others to change theirs so they don’t have to go through the same thing he did. “I was that guy you’re not supposed to be,” he said. Lobe, 56, said he was overweight, divorced and eating “out of a box” every night, a smoker and got no exercise. Both of his grandfathers also died of heart attacks. Plus, he was in the “high risk, high reward” field of sales. He was on a sales call in Kent when he started to feel pressure in his chest. At first, he thought it was just heartburn from the Thai food he had at lunch, but soon it felt like a basketball was trying to push its way out of his chest. When the uncontrollable sweating started, Lobe knew he was in trouble. Lobe remembers telling the client not to forget about him, he would be back, and then he remembers brief moments from the ride to the hospital, but not much. At one point, an EMT yelled at him to think about something really, really important to him as a way to hang on. Lobe thought of his sons, Tyler, 23, Matt, 21 and Jacob, 19. And he remembers seeing his boys in tears at the hospital. “My sons were always my first priority,” he said. “It’s no fun being wheeled out of a room having your sons cry because they think you’re dead.” In the 69 minutes from when he began having the attack to when the doctors were able to re-open his artery, Lobe’s heart stopped three times. But he remembers the instant the doctors succeeded because the pain stopped instantly. From that point on, Lobe began living life differently. “A lot of things became less important,” he said. He began eating better, exercising and quit smoking. When he was healthy enough to go back to work, he returned to a sales meeting he said was so intense you could cut the tension in the room with a knife.
But that too needed to change. “I thought ‘I don’t want to live this way anymore,’” he said. He was 53 years old and asked himself what he was doing with his life and what he should do next with the second chance he felt was given to him. The answer was simple and clear. “I needed to get involved and make a difference,” he said. Soon after he recovered, Lobe got involved with the American Heart Association’s Heart Walk and the folks at the organization began asking him to volunteer more, do some public speaking to tell people his story and finally to help them lobby the legislature in Olympia. Lobe first got involved with the Emergency Cardiac Care bill two years ago. The law allows hospitals to share data on cardiac issues with the state Department of Health to create a database of the best hospitals to take people having heart or stroke issues. It is designed to make sure that people having a heart attack are taken to places that have cardiac centers. Lobe believes the only reason he is alive
“I’m just a guy that didn’t do things right and I paid the price for it.” Vance Lobe
today is because of the hospital to which he was taken. “If I wouldn’t have gone to Valley Med … I probably wouldn’t have lived,” he said. “He’s what we want to happen to any patient,” said Lucy Culp, senior governmental relations director for the American Heart Association of Washington. Culp said the Heart Association members were amazed by his story and recognized Lobe’s ability to discuss his heart attack and the factors that led to it in such a way that it really seems to connect with people. “As he says, he was a walking heart attack,” Culp said. “He’s really seen it. “People just seem to get it from him,” she said, calling him a normal guy with a

compelling story. Since working on the initial bill, Lobe has continued to work with the Heart Association on legislative matters, even going as far as Washington D.C. to talk about funding for the National Institute of Health. Then, about six weeks ago, Lobe received an email from his contact at the Heart Association, congratulating him for being selected to speak at the White House about cardiac issues. “I didn’t even know I was nominated,” he said. “I’m still in awe.” Culp nominated Lobe to go to the White House after a call from the national office asking for people from each region to discuss heart health. “I immediately said Vance would be the perfect person,” Culp said. Lobe was one of about 60 nominated from the 10-state western region and one of 10 to be selected to make the trip. Though he did not get to meet the president or first lady, Lobe and others selected from around the country met with the White House Office of Public Engagement, deputy secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, members of the Domestic Policy Council, the National Economic Council and the National Institute of Health. Lobe said they talked about the little steps being taken and the work the administration is trying to do to persuade Americans to get healthier. In the afternoon breakout sessions, Lobe went to a discussion on tobacco policy, which he said was more of a conversation, though he was the only one in the

room who had smoked or who had a heart attack. Most of the rest of the group were doctors who thanked him for sharing his story with them, as did officials who said Lobe and others who spoke helped put a face to the problem. “We’re not just numbers,” he said. “We’re real people actually being affected by this on a daily basis.” Plus, he got a tour of the White House, which included the actual George Washington painting saved by Dolly Madison when the White House was burned by the British during the War of 1812, something he said was a thrill for a history buff like himself. After the visit to D.C. Lobe is hoping to someday make a career out of working with the heart association so he can continue to tell his story in hopes of persuading others to turn around their habits. Because of that, he has learned to view his own heart attack in a positive light. “It was almost a blessing,” he said. “It finally woke me up and slapped me in the face as to what was important and how to live my life.” Today, Lobe eats better, exercises more and said he has more energy than he’s had since he was a teenager. His doctors have given him a clean bill of health. He hopes his story will resonate with others who were like him. “I’m just a guy that didn’t do things right and I paid the price for it,” he said.

Washington State Legislature
House of Representatives Column by Rep. Cathy Dahlquist 31st Legislative District
It’s your government: Let me know your thoughts It is wonderful to represent the people of the 31st Legislative District. At the beginning of this session I asked our caucus to spend time as a team to identify our priorities of government. Until you have a clear understanding of what your priorities are, it is difficult to draft a budget. The House Republican Caucus did just that. We spent many days working together to identify what our government should provide by setting our priorities. We landed on three key focuses: Education is our first and foremost priority, followed by taking care of our most vulnerable populations (meaning those that cannot take care of themselves) and public safety to ensure community protections. I appreciate hearing your thoughts and opinions, so today I am asking for your feedback on what you would choose as your top three government spending priorities. Government works for you. I hope you find this brief column informative and I look forward to hearing from you. Update on special session After a 17-day special session in December and a full 60-day regular session that began Jan. 9, the Legislature could not agree on a state operating budget that would close the $1 billion spending gap. As I write this column, we are in the second week of the special session, which began on March 12, with no visible progress or clear (and agreeable) path to a sustainable budget in sight. However, I remain hopeful that ongoing talks among budget leaders will allow for some needed compromise. Many of you have called or e-mailed me with questions about how the budget will impact a service or program. You will have to stay tuned to my next column or attend a town hall meeting after special session to get those clear answers since a budget has still not been passed. My goal is to always be helpful and available to you. I want to encourage you to take this opportunity and share your thoughts with me on a couple questions: What would be your top three priorities if you were writing the state budget? A. Taxes and fees B. Creating jobs through government programs C. K-12 education D. Social/Entitlement programs E. Developmentally disabled/elderly/poor children F. Health care
G. Transportation H. Higher education I. Environment J. Public safety K. Early learning L. Other
Do you believe that the size and purpose of state government should continue to expand? A. Yes B. No C. I believe state government has been reduced As we go through the budget, knowing and understanding your priorities will help me ensure I am serving you to the best of my abilities. When I have more information on the budget, I will be inviting you to a town hall meeting to share the details. I hope you can join me and I look forward to hearing from you on this brief survey and with your thoughts. My contact information to send your response to me is listed at the bottom of this column. It’s a pleasure to serve you.

inches, the other officers reacted quickly and lawfully to protect their fellow officer and themselves,” Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist said in a press release. “This incident again demonstrates the dangers officers face as they serve the public.” The incident began just before 3 p.m. when Crahay was seen driving on state Route 410 with expired tabs. When a sheriff ’s deputy attempted to stop the car, Crahay pulled into a parking lot but then took off at a high rate of speed when the deputy approached her car. A pursuit ensued, resulting in the deputy using a “pursuit intervention technique” to pin Crahay’s car against a guardrail. The deputy, with a second deputy and Torgeson on hand as back-up, surrounded the vehicle. Crahay then fired two shots from a handgun at the deputy through the passenger window of her car.
One bullet went through the windshield of Deputy Kelly Carolus’s car and into the baseball cap he was wearing, leaving a hole in the cap, though he was uninjured. Marrs and Torgerson returned fire, hitting Crahay in the head and torso. When the officers approached the car, a pit bull lunged out of the rear window, which had been broken by gunfire. The dog was also shot and killed. Crahay was transported to the hospital where she was pronounced dead. Lindquist on Thursday released a statement announcing the completion of the investigation into the incident, which concluded Crahay’s death was justifiable homicide on the part of the police officers involved. Torgerson is a 10-year veteran of the Bonney Lake Police Department. Bonney Lake Police Chief Dana Powers said she was pleased to hear from the prosecutor, though the decision was expected given
OBITUARIES BETTY HOLLOWAY Lake Tapps resident Betty Jeanne Holloway, 81, died March 5, 2012. She was born June 12, 1930, in Portsmouth, Va., to Bessie May and Robert F. Woody Sr. She moved to Washington with her late husband Thomas Martin Holloway Jr. in the early 1950s. Once established Betty Holloway with her family of six at Lake Tapps, she joined Pierce County Fire District 22 as an emergency medical technician, firefighter and search and rescue diver. Her love for the Pacific Northwest grew as she became a Mountaineer (Seattle chapter), naturalist and recreational diver in Puget Sound. She furthered her career by developing and heading the first health coordinator position for the Sumner School District in the 1970s. She is survived by daughter Susan Henak; sons William, Michael, Stephen and Benjamin; brother Robert F. Woody Jr.; and six grandchildren. Friends are invited to a celebration of her life, and all are encouraged to wear her favorite color, blue. The gathering will begin at 1 p.m. Saturday, at Sumner United Methodist Church, 901 Wood Ave. In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be made to any children’s hospital.
the facts of the case. “We anticipated the ruling would come out that way after the investigation was completed,” she said. Powers said an internal review in Bonney Lake would follow the prosecutor’s announcement to allow the department to search for “lessons learned” following this and any officer-involved shooting. “What can we do better in a situation like that?” she asked. Powers said the incident highlights the dangerous nature of police work where even a traffic stop can become dangerous at a moment’s notice and officers are forced to respond, sometimes with the highest level of force. “Nobody wants to be in an officer-involved shooting,” Powers said. “It’s forced upon you by the actions of others.” To comment on this story view it online at www. blscourierherald.com.

Council open to fee reduction, but worries about money By Brian Beckley Staff Writer
In Iowa, apparently, if you build it, they will come. But in Bonney Lake, the question is turning to how to get them to build in the first place. With construction down in the city – and across the county – the Bonney Lake City Council is considering ways to try and spur construction, but were still split on whether or not the city should lower its construction impact fees as an incentive. Bonney Lake’s impact fees are easily the highest in East Pierce County, but building in the city continues to outpace all other municipalities, though at a much lower rate than the pre-recession hey day that many came to expect as normal. But several council members feel the city’s impact fees are what is keeping the hammers from swinging and the homes from going up, prompting a discussion about the cost of building that began at the council’s annual retreat in February.
The combined traffic, sewer, water, and school impact fees to build a home in Bonney Lake is presently approximately $28,000. Buckley comes in second at about $20,000, followed by Puyallup at about $16,000. The council this past week agreed to move three measures forward, but once again split over temporary decreases on sewer and water system development charges, asking for more information to continue the discussion at a later workshop. Much of the talk centered on how to make up for the loss of revenue such a change would represent. “Those fees are paying for things,” Deputy Mayor Dan Swatman said, calling the reductions “totally irresponsible.” “Where are we going to get that money back?” “That’s the key. You’ve got to pay it sooner or later,” agreed Councilman Donn Lewis. Led by new council members Katrina Minton-Davis and Tom Watson, those in support of reducing the fees said it would spur building, which would bring new resi-

system is approximately $3,500 less than that in Bonney Lake, ratepayers pay an additional $5 per month for service. Base rates for water are also higher in Sumner. “If it isn’t the development, it’s going to have to be the ratepayers,” Councilman Mark Hamilton agreed, adding that the reductions discussed were “pretty drastic” and he would like to see the projects that may have to be postponed due to the changes. Hamilton also said he was not sure any changes were necessary given that Bonney Lake still issues more building permits, by far, than any of its peers in East Pierce County. “I still feel uncomfortable in reducing any of the
fees because I’m not sure it’s going to make a difference,” he said. Swatman agreed. “There’s still building in the city of Bonney Lake,” he said. “Somehow they’re making it work.” If the reductions passed as proposed, it would have meant a loss of nearly $12,000 in revenue per house, an amount Swatman pointed out would take $1.6 million in retail sales to make up in the city’s general fund through sales tax revenues. The council agreed to continue discussions of the impact fees after requesting from staff a list of projects that would need to be reduced due to a drop in revenue.

The Constitution v. Social Media I
spent Sunday watching a Book TV show I recorded on my DVR. I liked the show because I could listen to it while I made some brown and green food even God wouldn’t eat. Thanks to my friendly doctor, that is what my life has devolved into – Sundays spent making food without names or other identifiable features. The Book TV show peaked the fun meter, however. Jeffrey Rosen, George Washington University law professor and an editor with The New Republic, was talking about the clash of the privacy, search and seizure and other Dennis Box, Constitutiona l Editor issues in the current world of Google, Facebook and other social media. The program will be broadcast again Saturday on C-SPAN. I think it is worth listening to and considering. Will our Constitution address the Internet world of social media? Does the power of Google and the company’s decisions on what hits the top of search sites trouble us? The collection of information by Facebook and other sites brings up a myriad of privacy problems and the questions once again point back to our Constitution. Rosen posed an intriguing problem. The Constitution protects us from government search and seizure and invasions of our privacy, but when it comes to social media and Internet sites things get cloudy. So a potential employer can demand to see an applicant’s personal Facebook page, which opens up a privacy can of worms. If some company wanted to look into my life through Facebook for a job, I can see how the interview would go. “We’re not going to hire you. You eat like a crazy

Unexpected costs can break a business Recently one of my Chamber members came into my office and shared with me some of the struggles she was having getting her business off the ground. Startup costs for the business were much higher than she anticipated and business was not as brisk as she had hoped would be. Scraping every dollar together, she was able to pay her employees, but not herself. Compounding her frustration was the fact that she hadn’t had a day off since December. While many business in Bonney Lake have the advantage of driveby traffic from the 410 corridor, it

As we know, nearly 50 percent of new businesses don’t survive past the first year. Why is this? Well, the answer is different for every business, but a common theme I hear from businesses in Bonney Lake is that startup costs were higher than anticipated, the length of time from conception to open was longer than anticipated and sales were not as good as expected. • Startup costs: When building a business plan, businesses do their best to predict what their initial expenses will be.

Say no to algae growth Budding aquarium enthusiasts crop up every day. They’re anxious to head to the pet store and pick out a tank, accessories and the fish they hope will thrive in a new environment. While it’s important to know which fish can cohabitate and the proper pH and temperature to keep the tank, one important lesson all people who have an aquarium should know is how to keep algae in check.

Welcome back to Buckley Veterinary Hospital’s monthly pet care column. This month, we are highlighting the significance of protecting and screening your furry family member for internal parasites.

on plants and decorations inside the aquarium. Just like any other plant, algae requires a few things to thrive, including light, water and food. Although a certain amount of algae in the water can be a beneficial food source for some species of fish, an overabundance can be unsightly and take over the aquarium. There are a few reasons why algae can grow unchecked: • Algae needs light to survive. Leaving a fluorescent aquarium light on too long or placing the
tank in the path of direct sunlight can cause algae to bloom; • Introducing new live plants to a tank, which already may have algae spores hitching a ride on them, can introduce more algae to the tank; • Overfeeding fish can provide extra food sources for algae, as can failing to frequently clean the filter; and • Water with a high level of nutrients will provide a lot of food for algae.

can’t open their doors on time and accrue additional costs. • Sales: One thing I often see when a new business opens is that due to the above two reasons, they have to make up the money from somewhere. Where do they pull it from? Marketing. Marketing is a key factor when opening a new business and if marketing budgets are slashed before the doors are even open, it puts them at an immediate disadvantage and in the arrears before even opening their doors.

Using clubs to explore beyond the classroom By Brian Beckley Staff Writer
The halls of Lake Tapps Elementary School were filled with the sounds of laughter and learning into the early afternoon hours this past week, though school had ended hours before. Seven-year-old Charlie Jones, for example, was still at school after he could have left. Why? To play a little chess with some of his friends. He’s pretty good, by his own estimate, and continuing to improve since picking it up. “It can get you in a good mood and sometimes it makes you smarter,” he said, taking a brief break from a game. Jones is part of Lake Tapp’s Elementary’s Chess Club, one of five after-school programs Principal Connie Geroy said are designed as “enrichment programs” for students. “We want the learning to continue after school,” she said. Along with chess, Lake Tapps offers a technology club, a physical fitness club called “Ready, Set, Go!” and two science clubs. “Science has always been so popular here,” Geroy said. In one of the science classrooms, students were using two-liter bottles, water and balloons to learn about the changes in air pressure. The clubs meet for four times per session, with four sessions scheduled through the year. Geroy said this lets the students explore all of the clubs if they are interested, or to

The clubs provide learning opportunities the school day just doesn’t have room for. In the technology club, for example, the students meet in the school’s computer lab to work on projects using PowerPoint, Excel and other computer programs. The students are working on projects that involve the programs, hopefully making the learning fun. Along with the five clubs, Geroy said Lake Tapps
Elementary, located at the north end of the lake in the Dieringer School District, also has several clubs and activities led by community members that are offered to the students after school in the district’s three schools. Geroy said there are karate, drama, Spanish and dance clubs that meet on campus in the district. “We want to make sure we get as much learning opportunities as they can,” Geroy said.

The February dissolution of White River High School’s White River Alternative Program has left Sumner School District scrambling to build its own program in time for the 2012-2013 school year. Erin LaVerdiere, the district’s executive director for
teaching and learning, told the school board much was unknown at this time, including how many students will make the pilgrimage back to their home district. “We suspect most of our seniors and juniors will stay at White River,” she said. “If not, we’ll have a hard time dealing with the influx.” An alternative program meeting for students and families is planned for May 29 at Bonney Lake High School.

The Sumner High baseball team’s past week was a busy one. Following a season open of mercurial rain and ice storms, the team was forced to reschedule its nonleague games from March 19 to 23. Following a disappointing 9-7 loss to crosstown rival Bonney Lake Monday, the Spartans had a three-day line-up of games: nonleague match-ups against Wilson and Decatur Wednesday and
Thursday, leading seamlessly into the team’s first South Puget Sound League match of the season against the Eatonville Cruisers. In those latter three matches, the valley boys did not disappoint. The Spartans defeated Wilson 7-1, Decatur 9-5, and Eatonville 9-3. The early victory over the Cruisers gave the Spartans a strong season open. The boys played at Franklin Pierce

SHS Fastpitch
Sumner High School’s fastpitch team hit the ground dominating this weekend, warming up with a close non-league victory over Olympic High Saturday, and ending Sunday with a neat win over the Eatonville Cruisers. Final score against Olympic was 10-9. The final score against Eatonville was 8-4, giving the Spartans an early 1-0 in the South Puget Sound League 2A record book. The game against
Eatonville was slow-going: Neither team could catch a break until Sumner scored two runs in the third inning. Then both teams remained runless through inning six. Sumner scored six in inning six, then Eatonville scored two each in six and seven. Pitcher Allie Sims broke some hearts with 11 strike outs. She additionally had four walks. “(The) hitting styles of junior Nicolle Peterson,

‘Roundball at the Rock’ a rousing inaugural success Well, the inaugural Roundball at the Rock charity basketball event for the Rotary First Harvest, held at Bonney Lake High School Saturday is officially in the archives. I must say with the help of about 100 people including, fans, coaches, players, volunteers and financial supporters the program went off without a hitch and was an unequivocal success. Considering the picturesque sunny afternoon on which the game was contested, what with make-up baseball and softball games being played and yard work to get started on, when all was said and done the event raised about $200 and will consequently mean 6,000 pounds of fresh fruit and vegetables being trucked into to area food banks John Leggett for the underserved on the Plateau Columnist and the valley below. The main event, which was an encounter between The Couriers (blue shirts) and The Heralds (green shirts) and was highly entertaining using as a yardstick the old sports axiom that offense sells tickets and defense wins games. Fans who were fortunate enough to be spectators of this game for a good cause, saw a whale of a hoop fest as a total of 200 hundred points were tallied in this sensational shoot-out, that admittedly didn’t exactly include a preponderance of defense, but did see The “Dark Horse” Heralds prevail 113-87. When the confrontation first got underway it looked as if The Couriers would dominate. Due to circumstances beyond The Heralds coaches Rick Tripp and Rob Thayer control, the green team was outnumbered 2-to-1. However, even though the fiercer members of The Heralds, Derek “The Mad Bomber” Lund, Tony “The Tiger” Chynoweth, Drake “Tall Boy” Radenmacher and Perry “The Optimist” Rockwood weren’t allowed to play under their old and new head coach Kellen Hall (who was gracious enough to help coach The Couriers) due to a bizarre WIAA rule, the green team’s shooting percentage from the floor was tremendous. That factor alone was enough to keep the blue squad at arm’s length until reinforcements could arrive in the form of 6 foot, 7 inch Bonney Lake senior post, Mike Gould, who came into his own this season behind the learned guidance of Panther head coach Rob Smith, to help the black and teal advance to the postseason in 2012. At any rate, after Gould showed up on the scene it was Katie-bar-the-door, as the inside presence of having two 6 foot, 7 inch stilts in the low post in Radenmacher and Gould, simply proved to be an overwhelming upper hand and the talented young ladies playing for The Heralds - Naomi Pounds (Bonney Lake High) and Fallon Hall (Enumclaw High) took care of the rest as they played miserly defense and brought the pumpkin down the parquet for the most part distributing to the twin towers. While the coaching tandem of the Buckley Boys’ Rick Tripp and the Spartan Steamroller Rob “Too Tall” Thayer proved to be a winning combination as their crew managed to reach the century mark and beyond, one has to give Hall & Thomas “The Train” Ostrander

roundball FROM 12 their due as well. I reminded both of those guys not to just leave Ostrander’s brothers-in-law the DeVries twins and the skilled Zebulon Glissmeyer (also of McDaniel lineage) in there the whole time. Thank goodness Hall & Ostrander threw everything on the floor but the kitchen sink in order to entertain an appreciative crowd, or the throng of round ball followers would have never got to see Sumner backcourt ace Tayler Holtman, who displayed some pretty impressive moves coming off the pines. Also making his presence felt was Panther senior boy Mikey Berger who had the blue shirts cheering section going bonkers with his antics. Berger arrived late with Gould, but had been delegated to the other team as had Enumclaw girl guard Callie Remitz, who was filling in for an injured Danielle Saltarelli. Saltarelli thankfully consented to sell concessions which this old reporter appreciated more than she will ever know. It was heartwarming to me, personally, to see the basketball community come together in such a helpful way for such a good cause.

Tuma took first singles at Steilacoom By Daniel Nash Staff Writer
Sumner’s girls tennis team served up beat downs last week, defeating Steilacoom and White River high schools and bringing their season record to 3-0. The team won over White River Monday, March 19, by 3-2. “This was one of the closest matches I have ever been a part of,” coach Chris Heacox said. “We were losing 2-1 after Autumn (Jacobsen) won and first singles and third doubles lost. First and second doubles were both losing the third set 4-5, so one more game for either White River team and we would have lost the team match. Luckily both our doubles teams won some big points to come back and win the third set 7-5.” Steilacoom presented a wider victory margin at 4-1. Miriam Tuma won first singles with 6-1, 6-0 in her matches. Jacobsen lost second singles by a hair at 6-1, 3-6, 4-6. First doubles were taken by Kyla Anderson and Jasmin Babcock, 7-6, 6-0. Second doubles were won by Kaitlin Drenne and Sarah Layton, 6-3,6-3. Jessica Silone and Samantha Walsh won third doubles 6-1, 7-5. The team played at Clover Park Friday, but results came too late to include. Check blscourierherald. com for current scores.
Tebow-mania Panthers abandons the rebound after Rockies and jets false start for the Big Apple BLHS Tennis
By Brian Beckley Staff Writer
The Bonney Lake High School girls tennis team dodged raindrops last week to get in two matches to open their 2012 campaign. The week got off to a bad start for the Panthers, dropping a match to Enumclaw 2-3 Tuesday. Both singles players picked up the wins for Bonney Lake with Alise McCoy cruising to a 6-0, 6-3 win and Olivia Ottinger breezing to a 6-0, 6-1 victory. But the Hornets proved too strong in doubles and easily overcame a Panther team that was missing two varsity players. Molly Miculnich and Kelsey Kober dropped their contest 2-6, 1-6 to a team coach Billy Jacobsen called “probably the best doubles team in the league.” Second double steam of Nate de Leon and Sam Goff played a close on, but also fell 3-6, 4-6, while the third doubles team of Sam Garrity and Britany Lie lost 4-6, 0-6 in what was their first-ever high school match. The Panthers rebounded Thursday, however, with a 5-0 win. McCoy and Ottinger both picked up quick wins both besting their challengers 6-0, 6-1. Miculnich and Kober picked up their first win of the season, winning 6-2, 6-2 while Garrity and Goff - playing together for the first time - won 6-0, 6-2. The third doubles team of Lindsey Holdener and Lie, also playing together for the first time, won 6-1, 6-3. The Panthers were scheduled to play at Auburn Mountainview Monday and home against Peninsula Tuesday before Emerald Ridge comes to Bonney Lake Friday.

Once the dust settled Wednesday night Tim Tebow wound up in New York with Rex Ryan and the Jets. Not many would have guessed that before the last few days when reports came out about the Jets being interested in acquiring Tebow. Also I don’t think many people expect him to come in and have a shot at the starting job because the Jets just signed Mark Sanchez to a Chris Box three year extenPro Sports Analyst sion with $20.5 million guaranteed for 2012 and 2013. That would be a lot to pay a back up quarterback and it also makes him hard to trade, but with Tebowmania coming to the media spotlight in New York. Any mistakes Sanchez makes will be followed by an intense clamoring for Tebow. Rex Ryan and the Jets statistically had a much better defense last year than the Denver Broncos. New York was ranked fifth while Denver was 20th, which is a good thing for Tebow because if he does ever see the field on a consistent basis he will need a good defense to back him up. Rex Ryan also loves to run the ball and should bring his team back to the ground and pound style that got them to back to back AFC Championship games before last season. Tebow led the best rushing attack in the NFL last year, which can be argued had a lot to do with the misdirection Tebow brings to the offense and is the first thing I feel the Jets will try to use to their advantage. Also most likely the reason they acquired him. Tebow likely will get around five to ten snaps a game running the spread option/wildcat starting out. This is a good recipe for success as long everything stays on track. The Jets needto control the ball better and avoid turnovers both of which are things Tebow can help with. Also the Jets did invest a lot of money in

PETS FROM 7
ALGAE FROM 7

Understanding why algae forms will help you control it effectively. To start, get in the habit of cleaning the tank frequently. Once a week may be acceptable, depending on size. Scrape the walls of the aquarium and remove the artificial plants and other accessories and routinely wash in clean water. Change the filter cartridge when it has become overly soiled. Perform water changes. Change 10 to 15 percent of the water in the aquarium every week, which will remove toxins and algae spores. When you change the water, use a suction tube to “vacuum” out debris lodged in the gravel. Limiting the food sources for algae can also keep it in check. Feed a scant amount of food to fish, only enough that they can eat in five minutes or so. If there is extra food floating around, remove it. The food contains phosphates and other nutrients that can be a delicious meal for algae. Keeping live plants in the tank is another way to limit nutrients. Live plants will use many of the nutrients that algae thrive on. Routinely test the levels in the water and know what the proper levels should be. In addition, know what your water levels are right out of the tap. Test for phosphates and nitrates. Use phosphate removers or another water source, if necessary. Make sure to include algae-eating fish in the aquarium. Those like the Plecostomus (Pleco) will scour the tank for algae. Position the tank out of direct sunlight, which will fuel algae growth. Also, go sparingly on the use of an aquarium light in the tank. Algae often grow in warm temperatures, as is common with tropical aquariums. Keep the temperature of the water at the minimum level allowed for the breed of fish, and be sure the tank is not by a radiator or additional heat source. Keeping aquarium fish can be an enjoyable hobby and a nice focal point for a room. To ensure the health of the tank, be sure to manage the amount of algae in the aquarium.
infected with parasites defecating in their yards and parks. Normal behaviors, like eating directly off the ground, drinking out of puddles, grooming, playing fetch and pouncing and biting items on the ground, predispose dogs and cats to parasitic infections all year long. Dogs and cats also acquire infections from infected prey (e.g., rabbits or mice) or fleas that serve as intermediate or paratenic hosts for different parasites. Year-round internal parasite prevention products do not guarantee a pet will not have intestinal parasites. Recurring developmental stages of parasites, such as hookworms, periodically repopulate the intestine, grow to adulthood and shed eggs in feces. Eggs and cysts produced
