Short term tax relief offered for businesses

The King County Prosecutor’s Office position on collective gardens is very clear according to Deputy Chief of Staff Ian Goodhew.

Unless there is “evidence beyond a reasonable doubt” that a person is violating the state law, the prosecutor’s office will not pursue charges.

What’s not so clear to the prosecutor’s office, however, is what state law says.

A 2008 memo obtained from the prosecutor’s office provides an explanation of its stance on medical marijuana collective gardens.

“The law is extremely murky, as you can see from the memo,” Goodhew said in a telephone interview. “There have been multiple changes in which medical marijuana is to be used, who’s supposed to grow it, distribute it and how the police are supposed to treat medical marijuana.”

Business owners stop, look around your store or office and take note of what’s not nailed down because it can be taxed according to state law.

If you aren’t aware of this tax, don’t worry. The King County Council thinks you aren’t the only one.

The County Council recently passed a ordinance which provides an amnesty period through July 1 for business owners who have not yet reported business personal property. They will have until Sept. 1 to pay the taxes owed.

King County Tax Assessor Lloyd Hara stated that a reason for the amnesty is the fact that many small business owners who aren’t able to afford a professional accountant are unaware of the tax, and that it is more effective and fair to them to give them the opportunity to comply, rather than penalize them.

Historic moment when doors open at Fred Meyer

BY KRIS HILL khill@maplevalleyreporter.com

Not long before the ribbon was cut in front of Fred Meyer at Maple Valley Town Square, Victoria Laise Jonas and Peter Powell were chatting in front of the entry.

“History is being made in Maple Valley as we speak,” Jonas said to Powell.

For the city, the arrival of the big box retailer was a sign of the shift in attitude toward economic development in the past three years.

Fred Meyer had been interested in locating a store in Maple Valley for a number of years but the city had an ordinance on the books since incorporation that prevented big box stores coming in that had footprints of more than

60,000 square feet.

That’s not an unusual tactic, Powell told onlookers during a groundbreaking ceremony nearly a year ago, and in other cities such an ordinance has been called ‘The Walmart Clause.”

During the ribbon cutting ceremony, Powell who owns Powell Development which was responsible for bringing the Fred Meyeranchored project to Maple Valley, described the process.

“This has been a labor of love,” Powell said. “This wouldn’t have happened without the Morris family (who owned the property).” [ more OPEN page 4 ]

GSG appeals to hearing examiner on citations

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@maplevalleyreporter.com

Green Society Group has filed a notice of appearance with the Maple Valley Hearing Examiner to contest the city’s stop work order and unsafe notice.

Jay Berneberg, the attorney for GSG owner Chris Schoonover, had initially threatened the city with an emergency injunction, but now is seeking to have the hearing examiner overturn the citations.

A date for the hearing has not yet been determined. “Hopefully, common sense will prevail,�

Berneberg said in a telephone interview. “We’re going to work with the city first. Nobody wants to be hostile here.�

The dispute between GSG and the city arose after the business opened on April 20 without obtaining

Berneberg said he plans to appeal all of them.

Gary McLean is the city’s contracted hearing examiner.

Unlike a court case, an examiner hearing, according to Peterson, is based on the preponderance of the evidence presented.

For the city’s citations to be overturned, GSG would have to prove the city acted in an “arbitrary and capricious� manner — terms which were also used by Berneberg used to describe the city’s actions — or that it simply never happened at all. “Most of the time when we issue these, people ask for a mitigation hearing to explain themselves,� Peterson said. “They’re not going to dispute that the violation occurred (in such cases). It’s not an appeal. They’re not going to argue a decision of the city.�

GSG, on the other hand, has to make the case that the city acted unlawfully or without regard for any facts, or that it acted in a biased or vengeful manner, according to Peterson.

The city passed a moratorium on collective gardens and dispensaries in July 2011. Both Schoonover and Berneberg have argued that Green Society Group does not fall under the moratorium.

The City Council is currently considering an ordinance that would ban collective gardens.

A public hearing before the Planning Commission for the proposed ordinance is set for June 6.

Beneberg stated that the stop work order, as well as the collective garden ban proposal, are based on misperceptions the city holds of the businesses like GSG.

Aphasia is a condition that usually occurs suddenly, often after a stroke or after some sort of traumatic injury to the head that takes away a person’s ability to communicate. This includes being able to understand verbal and written language as well as the ability to express it. There is some variance in the degree of severity of aphasia that depends on the location of the injury and the seriousness of the brain damage the injury causes. When aphasia occurs, first the cause of the condition is treated, and then speech therapy begins with a focus on relearning language skills and on learning alternative ways to communicate that don’t rely on words alone.

Though aphasia usually comes on quickly, it can also come on gradually due to a brain tumor or a degenerative disease.

In some cases a patient will completely recover from aphasia without treatment. This type of spontaneous recovery usually occurs following a transient ischemic attack, a kind of stroke in which the blood flow to the brain is temporarily interrupted but quickly restored.

“The city’s concerns are based on misinformation about what medical marijuana facilities and co-ops are,� he said. “There are some (facilities) out there that I think fuel the fire for their worst fears. But there are also groups out there that are medical, that are clean facilities that help patients access medicine. GSG is one of those places. I don’t think they know those places exists. I think they think it’s Woodstock all over again.

I think their fear is based on ignorance. Ignorance is not stupidity. Ignorance can cured. Hopefully it will play out that way.�

Any minute now South Sound Critter Care is going to be inundated with sick, injured and abandoned animals.

The non-profit located off 216th Street Southeast between not far from Covington-Lake Sawyer Road will play host to birds, kittens, raccoons, squirrels and more throughout the late spring and summer.

To handle the load, explained veterinarian Jan White and veterinarian technician Tigger Birch, South Sound Critter Care is in need of volunteers — lots and lots of volunteers.

Especially since SSCC received its federal wildlife license for birds a year ago. “This is our first year where we’re really going to get hit with baby birds,�

White said. “So, we’re really going to need volunteers.�

White, who operates SSCC on the lower level of the building which also houses her veterinarian practice, has worked in wildlife rehabilitation for a number of organizations up and down the west coast from California to Alaska.

Birch had previously spent a number of years with PAWS. “Both of us came into this venture with lots and lots of experience,� White said. “When we set up the veterinary practice we realized we had a whole bottom floor that’s 1,800 square feet that we could use for rehabilitation.�

Birch said they will take pretty much any wildlife with a few exceptions such as eagles and adult raccoons “because we’re doing short term care.�

Lake Sawyer Veterinary Clinic was started in 2009 and the pair began offering rehab services through the separate non-profit,

South Sound Critter Care, in 2010.

Domesticated animals such as cats, kittens, chickens and geese come in the hundreds altogether. “If you find an animal and you go (Washington state’s) Fish and Wildlife’s websites, all you have to do is put an address in and the information about the local rehabilitation center will show up,� White said. “That’s how people get here.�

There’s also referrals.

Other vets as well as animal rehab centers will send well-intentioned souls who have found creatures in need of care to SSCC. “Things have been a little different this year because the biggest wildlife center in the state has reduced its numbers, so, we’re going to have more pressure here than before,� White said. “In particular there’s a definite need for someone who has property in a rural area who has room to work with us on raccoons.�

Typically by July 1 every animal rehab center stops taking raccoons because there’s no room.

It would be nice to find someone to partner with, White said, to house raccoons but deer fawns as well simply because there isn’t space at their facility. “Last year it was like playing a game of musical chairs,â€? White said. “The day that PAWS stopped taking (Eastern Gray squirrels), that Sarvey stopped taking them ‌ we had 20 squirrels on our doorstep by noon. Everyone was referring them to us. It was pretty crazy.â€?

In 2011, SSCC took in 1,026 animals including 96 species of birds, 16 species of mammals and five species of reptiles. “We received 584 birds and 48.6 percent survived and were either released

Veterinarian Jan White hand feeds a bird in an incubator at her clinic near Maple Valley, which is also home to South Sound Critter Care, a non-profit animal rehabilitation facility. KRIS HILL, The Reporter back to the wild or placed in approved institutions if they were not releasable,�

White said. “This year with Sarvey (Wildlife Center) unable to take the usual numbers of animals we are up in numbers. Last year in mid-May we had received 157 animals and this year we are at 490. Thus, we are heavily impacted by the fact that the path for these animals is right to our door (instead of Sarvey).�

Busy, as a concept, seems to be an understatement for what SSCC has dealt with so far this year.

White emailed with additional information. “Our daily census is running about 130-140 in May,� White wrote. “Right now, the baby mammals are keeping us busy. We have 51 baby possums and a steady stream of cottontails.

As we go into late May, it is now time for the baby birds to start getting into trouble and we are starting to get them in now. We even had a clutch of eggs brought in that we incubated and hatched. People seek help

Left Behind K-9 Rescue, Covington, recently has joined other animal welfare organizations in the area that list their homeless pets on Petfinder.com, the oldest and largest database of adoptable animals on the Internet.

The site currently has more than 294,500 homeless pets listed, and it is updated continuously.

More than 13,500 animal welfare organizations in the U.S., Canada, and other countries post their pets on the site. Left Behind K-9 Rescue pets may be viewed at http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/WA555. html.

A potential adopter enters search criteria for the kind of pet he or she wants, and a list is returned that ranks the pets in proximity to the Zip code entered.

Adoptions are handled by the animal placement group where the pet is housed, and each group has its own policies. Petfinder.com was created in early 1996 as a grassroots project by Jared and Betsy Saul to

White noted that there is a need for a cadre of volunteers. They ask that people are willing to give six hours a day, one day a week, and volunteers must be at least 16.

With a new volunteer coordinator, White said, along with Birch’s help anyone who wants to help will get general training then more specific training depending on what they want to do.

And while the animals are cared for, Birch said, they don’t become pets nor will they be on display for the public as it’s against the rules of the permits which allow them to rehabilitate creatures. “The whole point is we want it to be wild when it leaves here,� Birch said.

In the future, White said, she hopes to develop a docent program where volunteers can speak at events, go to schools and provide programs to raise awareness about animal rehabilitation.

Beyond that, South Sound Critter Care will eventually need to expand. “We’ve had lots of successful results with minimal downstairs staff and volunteer pool,� Birch said. “Ultimately the goal is we’re going to need a permanent location on some acreage to develop a full blown rehabilitation center.�

For now, though, volunteers who wish to help out would work wonderfully.

And volunteers don’t have to work with animals, Birch said, nor do those who wish to help need to volunteer.

SSCC accepts donations, is able to recycle cell phones and ink cartridges, even accepts cars which can be turned over to another nonprofit for cash. “For in-house volunteers, we have a strongest need for Sunday afternoons,� Birch said. “We have plenty of people on Saturday afternoons.�

The memo, dated, Oct. 7, 2008, and revised on Aug. 22, 2011, was distributed to law enforcement agencies throughout King County. “The official state policy on marijuana in Washington continues to be that qualifying patents or providers to patents may legally grow and

In 2009 the City Council adopted an ordinance that would allow for stores the size of Fred Meyer after close to three years of discussion. “We had to figure out how to keep the value of this city,�

Powell said. “We’re talking about a lot of work. It was a total team effort.�

Like many law enforcement and city officials, Goodhew said, the state’s Medical Cannabis Law has been a headache for them to understand.

“The problem is the law does a very poor job of spelling out for law enforcement and prosecutors who is legally allowed to possess grow and distribute medical marijuana and who’s not, and in particular who’s allowed to grow it and distribute it,� he said. “The original law didn’t say anything about how to distribute medical. Should the state do it? Should private citizens? All it said is a provider can provide it for a patient at any given time.�

Lack of specificity, he added, has created a lot of legal loopholes.

For example, under the state law, up to 10 people can run a collective garden together. But, the law doesn’t address how members join and leave or how it affects how they collect their portion of the medical marijuana grown. “There’s no time restrictions on how many people can be in a collective garden and the issue of how many collective gardens can you have on one piece of property,� Goodhew said. “There’s no way for cities to regulate that. And the answer people want is for

police officers to bust everybody. The problem is we can’t do that when the law gives a very good argument that the activity is legal.

Prosecutors are very used to being told in black and white (what the law says).�

In an effort to inform local law enforcement agencies, the memo states that the Prosecutor’s Office will assist in any investigation regarding the violation of the Medical Cannabis Law. The memo contains an Office Policy section, which includes various stances the KCPO has taken.

“The PAO does not intend to prosecute those individuals who are truly ill,� the memo states. “Our office will look with a very lenient eye towards those medically ill people who have reasonably tried but failed to have their medical marijuana paper work in order.�

The memo also states that they will not prosecute collective gardens, “as long as it is clear that qualifying patients are distributing to other qualifying patients and that those in the operation can produce the proper documentation.�

Hara said it is not certain how much more revenue the amnesty will provide. “We’re not sure at this point,� he said. “We can probably give you a better figure at around July 1.

The Washington business personal property tax is a self-reporting system.

Businesses that have personal property subject to taxation are required by law to report that property

to the county assessor. For example, in a restaurant, anything that can be moved in and out of the building would be considered taxable. “It’s everything that isn’t structurally tied to the building itself,� Hara said.

Corporations are required to pay taxes on taxable personal property, including machinery, equipment, and supplies of

businesses and farms, stateassessed commercial boats, and most operating property of public utilities. Items that are exempt include household goods, intangible personal property, and business inventories. Farm machinery is exempt from the state levy but subject to local levies. Owners of business personal property are required to list the items, their acquisition cost, and

the year acquired with the county assessor each year.

The assessor then determines the current assessed value. The assessor can collect back taxes for up to three years on unreported personal property.

With the passage of this ordinance, personal property staff from the Assessor’S Office will be visiting random businesses in-person to provide information about

personal property taxes and to work with business owners not currently paying to come into compliance with the law. Businesses that do not self-report their personal property are subject to a penalty of up to 25 percent.

Hara said before the amnesty could be implemented by the County it first had to pass through the state Legislature, where it received bipartisan support.

He also credited Fred Meyer and its parent company, Kroger, for their persistence. “If it weren’t for them sticking with us for seven years, this would not have happened,� Powell said.

Eric Georgia, the store director who took on the job Jan. 31, likened the efforts to a sport. “We look at this like a relay race,� Georgia said. “This is the next leg. We get to pick

up where you left off.�

Nearly 15 years ago, said Mayor Bill Allison, when Maple Valley incorporated the city was a small community away from the hustle and bustle of Seattle and the Eastside. “But the popularity of our community, our school system and our way of life has drawn residents from all over the nation to Maple Valley,� Allison said. “As we grew in number the real-

ity and necessity to provide services to meet the needs of our families grew as well. We all understand that change is difficult, with the growth of a community comes the pains of knowing our community will be ever evolving in looks but never in feel.�

In addition to Fred Meyer, a number of other businesses will open surrounding it including a 10,000-square-foot MultiCare health center, a Chase bank branch, a Sprint

store, two restaurants in Farrelli’s Wood Fired Pizza and Hop Jacks, as well as Burger King, a Sprint store, a gelato shop called Nutty Squirrel, and more.

Allison noted that he was recently at a conference that focused on shopping plazas and that “this was on the radar� among those who attended.

As Jonas said before the ribbon cutting, it was a historic moment in the city.

For Allison, it is just the beginning of many more such moments to come. “The opening of Maple Valley Town Square with Fred Meyer as its anchor store is one step in the process of improving the quality of life here in Maple Valley,� the mayor said. “What you see here today and what is yet to be finished will become a gathering place for families to shop, eat and be provided with some of the services they desire.�

The joy of thank you cards OUR CORNER

Kris Hill Assistant Editor

Thank you cards are an interesting thing in my world.

I get them from students I’ve hosted for job shadow experiences.

I get them from people I’ve written about.

Recently I even got one from a gentleman who wanted a photo I took of his grandson playing soccer for Kentlake High.

Today, Thursday, May 24, I received a thank you card from Elena Stowell.

I’ve known of Elena since April 2007 when I wrote a story about the death of her daughter, Carly, with my former colleague Carly McElligott who had covered the Kentlake freshman during winter sports that year. Carly Stowell had been the point guard for the Falcons girls basketball team.

We didn’t talk for the first time until October 2009 when I interviewed her about a fundraiser for the Carly Stowell Foundation, a non-profit she and her husband Chuck started to help kids do what they love, whether it was play music or sports.

It followed naturally with something Carly used to say: Do what you love and love what you do.

Elena has that saying tattooed on her calf.

When I interviewed her for the story which ran in the May 18 issue of the Reporter, “How jiu jitsu helped a grieving mom recover,� Elena was wearing capris so that was actually the first time I had seen the tattoo.

What’s interesting about our relationship is that first interview happened when I was just weeks from my due date when I was pregnant with my daughter. It gave me a whole new appreciation for what Elena has been through.

Politics based on emotions Let’s face it; we humans make political decisions based largely on emotions.

We like to think we’re rational and logical, but in reality three emotions really govern our political decision-making: trust, fear and hope.

Being aware of these three emotions and how they interact can help us make better decisions when we vote this fall.

Trust is believing the candidate will keep his/her promises. Part of what we weigh when we determine whether we trust is to ask ourselves whether the candidate really cares about us.

This was a hard lesson I learned as a high school teacher for 31 years: “Students don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.� It’s the same with candidates for office.

We want to know that they care about us and our needs. Candidates usually try to show this by pointing out their past record – showing where they have accomplished what they promised in the past, either in or out Rich Elfers

Question of the week:

June 1, 2012 [5]

And like Elena, I have a tattoo that honors my daughter, my first-born. Different reasons, of course, different kind of tattoo.

Still, since that first conversation in the fall of 2009, I’ve felt a kinship with Elena even though I can’t fully understand what she’s been through.

Naturally when the email came through on May 3 from Elena to the editor@covingtonreporter.com address that she had written a book I replied immediately to try and set up a time we could talk about it.

Last time I saw her was on Senior Night for the Kentlake boys basketball team. Her son Carson was on the team. That night I brought my daughter, Lyla, whom Elena and I have talked about but she had not yet met my kiddo.

It was sweet to watch the game, talk about parenting, basketball, and see Elena run her fingers through Lyla’s curly hair. Maybe a wistful moment‌ I couldn’t say but I loved it.

That was in late February. Our interview about the book in mid-May was a long conversation that covered far-reaching topics.

It was a moment in time which makes my job worthwhile.

And I think the resulting story was awesome, not because I’m a great writer or teller of stories, but because Elena has a powerful message.

Honestly, it should be me sending her the thank you card.

Thank you, Elena, for sharing your story with me even though I know there have been times when we’ve talked about the foundation that must have been a struggle.

And from all those who I am sure you will be touched, I will be presumptuous and thank you for telling your story, because I know it will have an impact.

Of all the thank you cards I’ve gotten lately this is one I will be sure to keep.

of politics.

Trying to destroy trust in their opponent is also a vital part of this, because we humans tend to remember the negatives about a person more readily than we remember the positives.

Candidates and political handlers know this.

That’s why there are so many negative ads – because they work to destroy trust in the opposition.

Candidates often try to create trust by acting like they are just like the voters. It’s called “Plain Folks.� That’s why candidates don’t wear ties in front of some groups, or they kiss babies, or they talk about their spouses and kids. That helps them relate to potential voters.

The more candidates can make themselves appear to be like their constituents, the more likely their constituents will vote for them. Like attracts like. On the other end, the more the candidates can make their rivals look “out of touch� or “elitist� the more effective their campaigns will be.

Fear is a powerful emotion to tap. Both Democrats and Republicans use this to sway voters. In the 1870s, Southern Democrats used fear created through violence and intimidation to win elections.

Republicans in our time use the fear of the loss of American values, the fear that our freedom will disappear through excessive government regulation and the fear that our money will be taken away through higher taxes.

Fear hijacks reason. That’s why it’s used so

often. If the candidates can generate enough fear against their opponents in the eyes of the public, it is likely they will win.

Fear plays on a desire for security and certainty, something we all want in some degree, but security and certainty are hard to attain because we don’t know the future.

Hope is the belief that conditions will improve (or stay the same) if a particular candidate is elected. This emotion is extremely powerful, especially in difficult times. (And when haven’t we had difficult times?)

Voters will be roused out of their apathy by hope that their lives will be better – they’ll have more money, a bigger house and more happiness. It will stir people who often do not vote to vote. This particular issue is especially true with Democrats who are greater in number but also more apathetic as voters unless stirred up by the emotion of hope.

Effective candidates play these emotions during elections. How well they play them and which emotion they elicit at just the right time with just the right group will help determine their success at the polls in November.

Since we are creatures who usually make political decisions based upon these three emotions, wouldn’t it be in our best interest to understand how candidates use them to play upon our feelings, hijack our reasoning and get us to act in ways that are not always in our best long-term interests? Shouldn’t we start attuning our ears to the words of trust, fear and hope?

A little bit of homework goes a long way pavers to create a mowing barrier. The grass had invaded my garden and I decided the best defense was an offense; thus the mowing strip.

After that labor intensive project, I set out to eradicate several large Gretchen Leigh

clumps of sedge (ornamental grass) I’ve had in my garden for several years. It can be invasive over a period of time and I was tired of trying to manage it.

Thinking it would be easy, I tackled the first plant shortly after I put in the mowing strip; probably late spring, early summer. Not only was the sedge one of the most difficult plants I’ve ever tried to remove, each clump took several days to completely pull out. I got sick of the process, but with each consecutive plant, my rage grew. I became obsessed over it and was determined to be the victor.

Even the bees living in one of the plants did not detract from my mission.

At the end of summer I had successfully removed all the clumps of sedge. But I realized I had spent the whole summer getting rid of these plants and accomplished nothing else; I hadn’t done any normal garden maintenance.

So as this spring has been too slow in coming and the rains have been excessively heavy, I’ve been watching the grass that invaded my garden last year get worse and the undisturbed weeds take hold with a vengeance.

I started to despair that I would never get control of

the garden again and felt derailed and helpless when my health issue reared its ugly head.

But sometimes when one has a weighty issue to resolve, one often needs to look outside themselves for the solution. Seventeen years ago, I birthed my first solution. Two and a half years after, the second part of my solution made her appearance. So when they told me, all these years later, they only had a little bit of homework, I rejoiced.

I got them out of bed, told them to eat and report to me in the garden. I figured getting them out there before the heat of the day was smart; there would be no excuses of it being too hot. Also, since they only had a “little bit� of homework, working in the garden first kept them from “suddenly� having more homework than they thought.

As I was unable to do the digging, I introduced them to two of my best friends: the shovel and the pitchfork and pointed my daughters to the grass that was inching its way through the front part of my garden.

In the past I’ve had mixed results from having my daughters help me in the garden. It has always

been my domain as it’s my hobby, so I’ve never made them help me with it on a regular basis. When I have gotten my daughters outside, it is usually under duress. Once they were in trouble and I made them dig a new section for me as their punishment, once I was trying to finish a big project before the rain hit and the few times I’ve offered to pay them for helping in the garden, they’ve opted out.

Today they grabbed their shovels and got to work without complaint. I don’t know if it’s because they are showing compassion towards me because of my health or if it’s because spring has sprung and they are crawling out of their caves. Whatever the reason, you won’t hear me complaining; a little bit of homework goes a long way in the garden.

In general, baby teeth that get dislodged are not re-implanted due to the risk of compromising the forming adult tooth.

For dislodged permanent teeth, do the following: –locate all of the pieces or whole tooth, hold tooth by the crown not the root and rinse gently with warm water if dirty. Never transport the tooth in water or scrub the root. Place the tooth in either milk or saline solution. The tooth has the best chance of survival if replaced within 30 minutes.

Letting your ‘magic carpet’ plants bloom in a pot B

Q. My lilac is done blooming. Do I have to prune off the faded flowers? Also, the leaves are curling with some silky threads. Help! D.F., Renton

A. You can get snippy with the faded blooms of lilacs to promote new growth and better blooming. Lilacs also need to have their suckers or new growth coming from below ground removed to keep them from reverting back to wild plants. Shorten the longest branches of your lilac by at least a third to encourage new growth.

The curling leaves and silky webs are from the banded leaf roller insect. If you have just a few leaves infected, remove them immediately and squish the little caterpillar hidden inside the rolled leaf. If more than a third of the shrub is infected you can spray with an organic spray called BT or Bacillus thuringiensis two or three times during the next few weeks to kill off the worms before they mature into moths. Clean Marianne Marianne MarianneBinetti Binetti Binetti

shrubs or a slow-release plant food.

You can continue to add new trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals to the garden, making sure you soak the root ball of new plants before you remove them from the pot and add them to the planting hole.

If you haven’t pruned your roses and they are budded up or blooming, enjoy the flowers in June but cut back the longest canes after the first flowers fade.

You can always remove anything dead, diseased or damaged from a plant no matter the season.

The TheCompleat Compleat Home HomeGardener Gardener

y the end of May, the soil has warmed and it is time to seed cucumbers, squash, carrots, and other warm-season crops directly into the soil.

You can also plant seeds of flowering plants like nasturtiums, sunflowers, marigolds, cosmos and iberis now for flowers that will be blooming this summer.

If you haven’t edged the lawn, then set some boundaries now and sharpen the blades of your mower for a crisp, clean cut all summer.

Roses, perennials and potted plants need fertilizing this week but don’t go flinging fertilizer around rhododendrons, camellias, azaleas and most other blooming shrubs.

Trees and shrubs do fine without additional plant food and too much fertilizer can encourage soft new growth that is weak and attractive to disease and insects – just like over-feeding humans can make them less healthy.

Use a compost or organic mulch around trees and

up fallen leaves and debris around your lilac, especially in the fall, to keep this insect from hiding out in the root zone.

Q. I have a spirea “Magic Carpet� variety growing in a large container. It does very well and blooms most of the summer. My question is, how long can this shrub grow in a pot?

S.D., Olympia A. You don’t need to contain your enthusiasm for this happy shrub because potted spiraes have bloomed happily in containers on my patio for almost a decade.

Like Japanese maples, they seem to adjust to the potted lifestyle but, unlike Japanese maples, spiraes look better when pruned back hard early in the spring.

I have found that all the dwarf or compact varieties of spirea do well in containers including the spirea Limemound, the Golden Sunrise, the Goldflame and

the beautiful and carefree spirea Magic Carpet.

Q. What shrubs will do well in the shade? I have some large trees in my backyard and very little full sun. C.C., Maple Valley

A. Filtered shade from tall trees is perfect for growing rhododendrons, azaleas, hydrangeas, leucothe, viburnums, euonymous, yews, even blueberries and nandina along with hundreds of other native and new plant introductions.

The important thing is to improve your soil by adding organic matter and mulch so the plants don’t dry out.

All new trees and shrubs will need water the first few summers they are in the ground.

My personal favorite for summer color in the shade is the hydrangea. There are now so many new hydrangeas available that creating an outdoor room using hydrangeas that rebloom like the Endless Summer and Blushing Bride varieties

is very rewarding.

There are also some new dwarf hydrangeas that are perfect for pots on a shaded porch or patio.

You’ll pay more for a patented new hydrangea but these hardy shrubs are long-lived and carefree – you’ll have it made in the shade. t t t

STATE CHAMPS

Kentwood wins third meeting of season against Puyallup for state baseball championship in Pasco

aylor Jones felt just fine against Puyallup May 26 in the 4A baseball state championship game at Gesa Stadium in Pasco.

Before the title game, there were two options Jones explained on Monday – either he started or Mark Dewall would get the call. It just depended on how Jones felt. “We prepared for either one of us to start, me being the first option, him being the second,â€? Jones said. “I started warming up in the bullpen. I felt alright. Initially I was only supposed to go three innings of four innings ‌ but, I felt good, good enough to keep going, so, I just finished strong.â€?

Jones drove in two runs and struck out eight while walking just two batters in a complete game victory for Kentwood to lead the Conquerors to their second state crown in three years despite a pulled groin suffered in a state tournament game a week earlier against Redmond.

On May 21, just two days after initially pulling the muscle, Jones said the injury wasn’t bothering him at all but at that point he was day-to-day.

And while Jones may have moved a little slow during the week leading up to the final four in Pasco, he found his groove against Puyallup. “It was great,� Jones said. “It was one of those dream moments.

You’re waiting for a stage like this.

I think when it comes to me, when I’m on big stages, when I’m playing in big games, I tend to almost relax more and kind of have that adrenaline going, but, at the same time ‌ it feels smoother and less like I have

Taylor.�

That confidence proved to be well-founded as Jones went 2-for-4 at the plate as well as his stellar performance on the mound. “He had a day, he had a day,�

Genger said. “You could see it in his eyes, he was ready to go. Just knowing Taylor and playing with Taylor since we were little kids, there was no way he was saying he wasn’t ready to go in the state championship this year.�

Before heading to Pasco, Jones told the Reporter on May 21 that in order to win a state crown the Conquerors needed to just keep doing what they’d been doing all season,

After Kentwood put together an 8-5 victory over Todd Beamer in the semifinal in a game where Skyler Genger struggled on the mound, Jones got the call to throw by firstyear head coach Mark Zender.

Jones, a Gonzaga Universitybound senior, gave up four hits and one run to Puyallup in the title game.

Genger, who played first base in the state championship, said the other guys on the team checked up on Jones during the week. “If you asked (Jones), you could tell he was confident,� Genger said. “We were all very confident in

which led them to a perfect league record and the second seed out of the district tournament. “Through the year, we’ve found so much success doing what we did,� Jones said. “Other teams in big situations try to press more and do more than what they’re capable of. We keep doing what we’ve done and maybe the other team will try to change things and maybe they’ll falter. We tried to keep our mind set on doing what we’ve done and it showed.�

Plus there was the added motivation of beating Puyallup, which handed Kentwood its first loss of the season in the league playoff game in early May. “They won one, we won one,�

Jones said. “I think it kind of helped us, it gave us more motivation to go out there and get it done.�

Genger said he was also proud of some of the younger players on the team like sophomore Kade Kryzsko, who plays short stop, that stepped up and played with a remarkable level of poise as well as maturity in the post-season. “Kade Kryzsko came out and had one of the best games I’ve ever seen, going 3-for-3 in the state championship, which is pretty incredible for a sophomore,� Genger said. “He’s grown so much as a player and I expect big things coming from him.�

Still, Genger said, it was important for the seniors to help the team stay relaxed during the game since the Conks took the lead early they had to make sure they didn’t let up.

After every inning they met in front of the dugout, Genger said, and told them to keep calm as well as maintain the same attitude that

Bears make it to second day at state Kentlake bounced in two games while Tahoma comes up shy of trophy round

BY KRIS HILL khill@maplevalleyreporter.com

Tahoma and Kentlake had their share of ups and downs at the 4A state fastpitch tournament May 25-26 at Merkel Sports Complex in Spokane.

Kentlake struggled to get the bats going in both games and was eliminated on the first day with a 7-4 loss to Monroe in the opening round followed by a 4-3 loss in extra innings to Central Valley.

Tahoma bounced back from a 3-1 loss in the first game to Richland, which went on to beat Thomas Jefferson 13-3 for third place at the end of the tournament, to put together a 10-4 win over Inglemoor in the second game on May 25 then propelled into the second day of play with a 10-5 victory over Bothell in the third game of the first day of action.

In an eerily familiar second day experience

reminiscent of the 2011 tournament for Tahoma the squad played on the same field where it was eliminated a year ago.

One bad inning against Monroe on the morning of May 26 ended Tahoma’s hopes of bringing home a trophy when the Bearcats scored nine runs in the bottom of the second inning after the Bears took an early 1-0 lead. All things considered, however, Tahoma coach Tom Milligan said that while the final chapter on the season did not end the way he hoped overall the story of this year’s team was much better than anyone might have anticipated.

A year ago the Bears graduated six seniors who led the team to back-toback South Puget Sound League North co-championships and its first appearance at the state tournament in nearly 20 years. “When we started this year ‌ we were replacing six seniors,â€? Milligan

said. “We never thought we could (get back to state) in one year even though we had a couple of seniors who were part of that group who did it before. I thought it was going to be a year where we were going to have to teach the how to do things.�

Right out of the gate, though, Tahoma beat Jefferson which was favored to win the division, “and things snowballed from there,� Milligan said.

Little more than a month ago Milligan was reflecting on what the team could accomplish in the post-season in a conversation with his wife. “This is a good group of kids,� he said. “I said to my wife, ‘I want to take these kids to state.’ This has been a really great past couple days.�

Milligan reflected on his two seniors, Hayley Beckstrom and Jordan Walley, who had played varsity since they were freshmen.

Four seasons ago Tahoma was playing an early season game against Auburn. Emily Miller, who graduated in 2011, was a sophomore starting at shortstop at the time and Beckstrom was at second base.

A decision was made to flip them to see what Beckstrom could do at short.

What she did was noth-

Milligan said. “That definitely has been a constant for us, rock solid. This year she just continues to get better. She’s our MVP and she showed that in the league.�

Walley played first base, she pitched and she hit the ball hard.

“She had more extra base hits than singles this year,�

Milligan said. “No matter what you throw her, she’s going to get her pitch, she’s going to get hold of it and put it somewhere. You put a couple of quick lefties in front of Jordan and boom, instant offense.�

Then with Beckstrom — who smacked six home runs this season and put up a three run shot for Tahoma against Bothell at the state tournament — hitting be-

hind Walley it was a lethal combination.

Those two have helped teach the younger players who will return next year what it means to build a new tradition. Tahoma finished second in the division, eighth at districts and eighth at state with a 21-11 record. “Now we’ve got a basis, a groundwork that we can build on,� Milligan said. “They’re going to have big goals next year.�

Kentwood girls take third at state track meet

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@covingtonreporter.com.

Kentwood girls lead the Kent and Tahoma track and field teams after taking third at the 4A WIAA State Championship meet last week at Mount Tahoma High in Tacoma.

The Conks girls, who were last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state champs, scored 45 points, the highest of any Kent and Tahoma team, losing only to Auburn Riverisde and Curtis, who scored 55 and 62 points respectively.

Coach Steve Roche stated in a telephone interview that although they had hoped to win state again, he was pleased with how they performed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you look at how they did across the board, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but be happy for them,â&#x20AC;? Roche said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty exciting. Any team in the state would love to have that.â&#x20AC;?

Roche added the level of competition was significantly increased from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state meet.

Conks girls senior Madelayne Varela, for example, placed second in the long jump at 19 feet, when last year the winner jumped only 17 feet, nine inches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is just a banner year for track and field in the state,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you were to compare the times to

The Everett digester would have converted food and yard waste into enough energy to provide electricity for 400 homes or fuel for 1,000 vehicles a year.

The company was informed yesterday that the co-lead agencies that conducted the SEPA review of the proposal had withdrawn their determination that with mitigation the project would not require a full environmental impact statement.

Cedar Grove has not shelved its plans to turn food and yard waste into renewable energy. It has begun discussions with large institutions in the area that generate organic waste about placing small scale digesters on or near their sites. There are many benefits of this approach including the ability of the generator to maintain feedstock quality and make direct use of the energy produced.

All persons desiring to comment may do so in writing to the City Clerk, 16720 SE 271st Street, Suite 100, Covington, WA 98042 or by appearing at the Public Hearing.

Agenda information will be posted the Friday prior to the above meeting at Covington City Hall, Covington Library, and the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s web site: www.covingtonwa.gov.

WEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;RE WORKING WITH HOMEOWNERS IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE IN WASHINGTON

Providing solutions for homeowners in need of assistance remains a critical focus for Bank of America. We want to give as many customers as possible the chance to stay in their homes. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reaching out to homeowners in the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hardest-hit communities, meeting with them face-to-face and working with them over the phone.

Since 2009, Bank of America has held customer outreach events in Washington and across the country. Through these events and other outreach efforts, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve helped modify over one million mortgages nationwide since 2008.
