Farmers Market draws record crowds

BY KRIS HILL khill@maplevalleyreporter.com

Hundreds of patrons flocked to the fourth season opener of the Maple Valley Farmers Market June 16 at Rock Creek Elementary.

In fact, a record was set for opening day, wrote Market Manager Victoria Laise Jonas in an email interview.

There were just under 1,500 patrons who visited the market in four hours, Jonas wrote.

“Maple Valley residents and beyond turned out in force to support our local farmers, processors, prepared food vendors and artisans,” Jonas wrote. “Opening day brought in a total of 46 vendors of which many were favorite returning vendors and over a dozen new vendors which we welcomed into our Maple Valley Farmers’ Market family. Our fabulous Maple Valley Youth Symphony Orchestra once again performed to the delight of the crowds — as they have done, every Opening Day for the past four years. Face-painter Karen Haines (Illustriddler) made the day extra special for the younger set with offering free face-painting.”

Art and attitude create unique pub atmosphere

On a budget that would make shoestring finances look abundant, Derrick Garrett and Belinda Ferguson made the former home of The Swinging Arm in Black Diamond into a place they could call their own, Taphouse, Ink. “When we first came in, we really had no money,” Ferguson said. “We decided, let’s just do

what we can on our own.”

A group of friends came into the bar and restaurant, which is for patrons 21 and over only, to paint as a birthday gift for Ferguson.

Ferguson had put art on the walls of the business, which is split into two rooms, but Jill Drllevich had a suggestion.

“We wanted to have kind of an industrial, urban feel and we wanted to use re-purposed mate-

Jill said, ‘We just want a venue.’”

Paintings, bronze sculptures and more add to the decor. Items are provided by Drllevich, who is the founder of the nonprofit Ravenstone Arts, and are pieces are done by local artists. Patrons can browse and purchase what’s on the wall.

Proposals see little support at meeting

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@maplevalleyreporter.com

A pair of proposed ordinances up for consideration by the Maple Valley City Council didn’t have much public support at the June 11 meeting.

More than a dozen people spoke during the public comment period about both the proposed business license and the ban on collective gardens. No one spoke in favor of the business license, and only one person, Planning Commission Vice Chairman Patrick Jaybush, spoke in favor of a collective garden ban.

In a split vote of 4-3, the Planning Commission voted to not recommend the proposed ordinance to ban collective gardens at its June 6 meeting. Jaybush, who was one of the three who dissented, said there wasn’t enough awareness of the meeting to allow property owners who might be

They also want to introduce gelato to Maple Valley.

Typical gelato shops have fancy Italian-inspired names, such as Creme or Bottega Italiana. “It didn’t feel like us, like Maple Valley,� Shadd said.

Shadd said they decided on something a little more personalized for Maple Valley and selected the moniker Nutty Squirrel. “We though it was kind of fun,� she said. “It fits Maple Valley. We want it to really be about Maple Valley.�

Set to open in August, Nutty Squirrel will be located at Maple Valley Town Center which is anchored by the recently opened Fred Meyer. It will feature a variety of

Seymen, who studied architecture in Rome, will design the interior look, which Shadd said will be tailored for Maple Valley’s young families.

Shadd and Seymen first met through their husbands, when Seymen introduced Shadd to gelato, Italian ice cream, at her family’s gelato shop in Seattle called the Fainting Goat.

Rather than cream, gelato is primarily milk based, contains less air as ice cream and is served at a higher temperature. This, Shadd said, gives gelato a more intense flavor and is also more healthy than

Shadd said they first became interested in opening a gelato shop after Fred Meyer announced it was opening a store in Maple Valley.

After making up excuses for them to drive to Seattle for gelato, Shadd said, they felt like Maple Valley needed one of its own. “We decided to take the plunge and see what happens,� she said. “I think that’s going to be the most exciting, introducing it to the community.�

Fireworks are also banned from publicly owned properties such as schools and parks unless a special permit is granted by the city manager.

Fireworks purchased on Indian reservations are typically illegal to possess and/or use off of the reservation.

Homemade or improvised commercial fireworks are also illegal in the state

To prepare for their first business venture, Shadd said, she has taken gelato classes through an Italian gelato master.

Shadd added that Nutty Squirrel will include a window for customers to watch the gelato prepared, an outdoor eating area and a small kids’ play section. “I know there’s a lot of stay at home moms with kids who’d love for a place to go,� she said.

Shadd said that they will probably hire four to five employees to work in the shop.

Depending on how business goes, they might add greater selections and varieties.

Maple Valley non-profit Bridge of Hope creates link between community and a country torn by civil war

BY TJ MARTINELL

tmartinell@maplevalleyreporter.com

S

amuel Sesay knows what it’s like to have a rough childhood.

At a dessert night and auction for the Maple Valley-based Bridge of Hope on June 15, the 12-year-old spoke of his life as one of thousands of children orphaned during the civil war in Sierra Leone.

After his village in the Makeni area in the central region of Sierra Leone was attacked, he was left without a home or family. He had a grandfather figure who looked after him for a while, but was ultimately unable to care for him. After that, he was forced to live in the bush.

Sesay also suffered from neurofibromatosis, a genetically-inherited disorder in which the nerve tissue grows tumors which can cause serious damage by compressing nerves

and other tissues. Sesay had large tumors growing on his face and was unable to find medical treatment.

Then, in 2007, he walked into a medical clinic run by the volunteers from Maple Valley-based New Community Church, part of a multi-church effort to bring medical supplies, education and clean water to the region.

Ultimately, the effort led to the creation of the Bridge of Hope in 2008. It has sent a mission team out every year since 2006 and sent two teams this spring.

After Sesay was diagnosed with the disease, Mike Jeffery said they attempted to find a hospital in the United States that would treat him, but were unsuccessful. “We’d been trying and trying to get help for him (for a long time),� he said.

During that time, Sesay started to

attend the school run by the nonprofit and was able to eat healthier food, which improved his health. It was also when Allen Tamba Boakai, a Bridge staff member and Makeni native, took Sesay under his wing.

In an area that has the highest number of amputees due to the atrocities committed by Revolutionary United Front forces, Boakai said he has been blessed to have both his hands intact.

Finally, Jeffery said, they were able to get Sesay help through Mercy Ship, a global charity that operates hospital ships in developing nations, one of which was at Sierra Leone.

Sesay was brought abroad and received treatment in May 2011, when surgeons were able to remove tumors from his face and chest. He had a second surgery in September.

Boakai remained by his side during the entire two month stay on the ship where the procedures were performed. “He’s doing way better now,� Jeffrey said.

During their March visit this year, Bridge volunteers were able to secure a visa for Sesay and Boakai.

They arrived in the United States in early June and plan on staying until late August. In the meantime, Sesay has had the chance to see a dentist and doctor in the area.

When he returns to Sierra Leone, Sesay said that he intends to study to become an eye doctor and help the people in the Makeni area.

In the meantime, Sesay will throw the first pitch at a Tacoma Rainiers game and will have a special race named after him at Emerald Downs on Aug. 5.

In addition to allowing Sesay and Boakai to visit the country, Bridge President Geri Jeffery said it’s also to let people know that their donations are being put to good use. “When you sponsor the Bridge it goes where it’s supposed to go,� she said. “There’s such a huge need.

These are people just like you or I. To see the change when kids get fed and get an education really makes a big difference.�

New program at Rock ‘n’ More introduces younger kids to music

BY KRIS HILL khill@maplevalleyreporter.com

Just because a youngster may not be ready to hold a guitar doesn’t mean it’s too early for her to learn how to jam.

That’s why Dace Anderson, founder and president of Dace’s Rock ‘n’ More, along with Arielle Young and drum teacher Mitchell Fund have decided to offer a new program for children in the 5-7 year old range they’ve dubbed Dace’s Li’l Rockers. “We’ve gotten a lot of calls from people with

younger kids who want them to take music lessons, but, at that age, they’re not ready to hold a guitar,�

Young said. “We suggest they take piano but they can also learn a lot about music. We wanted to do something for little kids, but, we wanted to do something that is more rock and roll.�

Typically Rock ‘n’ More offers lessons to kids starting at 8 years old because that’s when, Anderson said, they can hold a guitar and have the dexterity to put together chords on a fretboard.

And while there may be other programs out there for youngsters, Anderson added, parents wanted something that was less about nursery rhymes and more about the music they grew up with. “There are things that kids enjoy that parents also enjoy,� Anderson said. “So, let’s create a small person program that the parents can dig.�

Fund came up with the basic concept for the program, Anderson explained, and is the in-house expert on teaching little ones music. Fund has a brother

who is much younger than him, so, when little brother turned 4 he began teaching the youngster how to play piano.

Then the drum teacher informed Anderson and Young about the perfect starter instrument for little rockers — the boomwhacker. These instruments are lightweight plastic tubes and each one has a different note depending on its length. “Each kid has a different note and you orchestrate who hits what note when,�

Anderson said. “We’re also going to do some ukelele

for some of the older kids.�

The class will begin in August and will be offered in both Rock ‘n’ More locations — Maple Valley and Redmond — with three different sessions, one for the 5 year olds, with the next for kids who are 6 and the third for 7 year olds.

It will cost $60 a month. “During the summer it’s going to be during the day, but, if people continue to be interested in it during the school year we’ll have it in the afternoon after school,�

Anderson said.

[4] June 22, 2012 [ PROPOSALS from page 1] impacted by the ordinance to address the issue. “We were kind of operating in a vacuum in this situation,� he said. “Only supporters really showed up. We didn’t have a lot of property owners showing up.�

This was challenged by the Kym Schodren, director of the Greener Business Bureau. “There’s an opportunity for opposition always because this was posted publicly,� she said. “I don’t think there was an opposition there because there isn’t an opposition.�

The Planning Commission’s decision was referenced by opponents of the

ban such as Jay Berneberg, attorney for Green Society Group owner Chris Schoonover. “Ultimately I want to urge you to follow the recommendations of your planning commission,â€? he said. “And let’s be clear about something right out of the chute. Medical grade cannabis is to pot what pharmaceutical cocaine is to crack. It’s not the same thing. You wouldn’t accuse Bartell and Walgreens of selling crack‌it’s a serious medicine for seriously ill people.â€?

Others opponents of the ban, such as John Worthington, said the city doesn’t have the authority to ban collective gardens.

“I’m just here to try to educate you,� he said. “There’s been all kinds of challenge for local control.

Each of them have lost.

It’s just not there for you.

The only option is to go to Olympia and try to hash out that control.�

The city was also threatened with a lawsuit by Steve Sarich — who works for an organization which provides information to medical marijuana patients called CannaCare — said he would sue the city if they passed a ban. “You are not allowed to preempt state law,â€? he said. “You are only allowed to do what limited statues the state law allows‌we intend to sue every city that insist

on violating state law. Your city has absolutely no right to pass a moratorium. If you don’t believe we’re serious, go ahead and pass the ban. I promise you that.�

The council ultimately voted to not extend the moratorium on collective gardens. A public hearing on the ban is scheduled for the June 25 meeting.

The proposed business license ordinance also received flack during the public hearing from business owners and realtors. “I think this is a horrible time to make this decision,� said Karen Crowe, who owns a business it-forms@ soundpublishing.com, based in Maple Valley. “Year after year the business license discussion has come up. Maple Valley is talking about how they want to be business friendly. This is not the way to do it.�

Sean Henderson, who works at Windermere, said he shouldn’t need another license to operate in the city. Addressing the issue of public safety, he facetiously proposed that the city might as well have police officers stop everybody who enters the city, take a picture of them and charge them 25 cents. “Quite frankly it makes as much sense as charging me another $50.�

Other criticisms of the business license included how it would affect real estate agents and its potential for abuse.

Robert Castagna said that the wording for the ordinance would allow the city to strip a business owner of his license for any municipal code violations, including a traffic ticket.

FATE OF ORDINANCES REMAINS UNCERTAIN The lopsided feedback did not come as a surprise for several council members, including Mayor Bill Allison. “I was not expecting any

more support for the business license,� he said. “The people who don’t mind having it generally don’t come and say ‘we’re for it.’�

Despite this, Allison said he is still supports a business license, which he said the city has to have as long as they license peddlers and transient salesmen in order to avoid a possible lawsuit. “We need to protect ourselves from being vulnerable to a suit if they come after us and say, ‘Well, you don’t have a business license for everyone. Why are you singling us out?’�

If the city does not create a business license, Allison said, they would have to look at removing the peddler’s license.

Council member Sean Kelly said although he still supports a business license, the proposed ordinance may need some revision. “We still need to discuss it,� he said.

Kelly said he expected the negative comments about the proposed collective garden ban, but added that he is currently researching the issue and speaking with officials from cities where collective gardens have been both approved and banned.

As for the collective garden ban, council member Erin Weaver said that there are two different arguments out there — whether medical marijuana is a legitimate medicine, and whether or not the city should legislate collective gardens — and that it is easy to confuse the two. “Clearly it’s a passionate issue that people feel really strongly about,� she said. “It seems like Maple Valley is a battleground between federal and state law. It shouldn’t be happening this way. I feel like it’s become an issue about whether medical marijuana is a good idea or not. The issue isn’t about the value of medical marijuana. It’s

about how does land use policy occur when there’s a contradiction between two different government entities. We don’t even have a clear state law.�

Allison said he also feels conflicted. “It’s a tough call right now,â€? he said. “The compassion that I have for people who go through pain, and not being able to find something to comfort them when they’re going through that pain, is just difficult‌ But I’m struggling with the fact of looking at it from a City Council point of view and turning to my staff and saying, ‘It’s illegal but I need you to do this any ways.’ I struggle with that.â€?

Weaver stated that the medical marijuana issue won’t be decided in Maple Valley. “It was valuable for them to come out and speak and I appreciate the time everyone took to come and speak,� Weaver said. “I value all of those things. The problem is that it isn’t addressing the real problem, and that is not how Maple Valley handles collective gardens. It’s how does the state define them? They’ve poorly defined their state law. The battle really needs to occur at the state level.�

Allison pointed out some council members, including himself, believe medical marijuana should be legalized. Earlier this year the council voted to support a letter written by Gov. Chris Gregoire to the DEA asking the federal agency to reclassify medical marijuana to a Schedule II drug, which would allow it to be used for medicinal purposes. “I don’t think the fight is here at the doorstep of Maple Valley,� Allison said. “The fight should be at the steps of Congress, the steps of the DEA. I’m in favor of fighting this all the way to that federal level. But that’s where the fight needs to be for me.�

Annette Smith, who is one of the proprietors or Sweet Briar Produce which is located near Black Diamond, was excited to introduce the products from the family farm.

“We came last year and it was so nice and set up so well,� Smith said. “We have a produce stand set up at the farm but we thought this would be a nice way to sell our products.�

venture again. “When we started four years ago we, we were very successful, we knew it could be successful,� he said. “In talking with Belinda and friends and family and seeing what kind of support we had, we knew the venue and the formula it had to take to make it work.�

Part of that formula was creating an atmosphere that would be suited to their crowd of friends who are in their 30s. “In a nutshell, it was just a good business opportunity for us,� Garrett said. “One of the things that we really wanted, we wanted to dictate the atmosphere here. The overall goal is just giving adults a place where they feel comfortable.�

The landlord for the building, which is on the west side of Maple Valley-Black Diamond Road, called them in midNovember, Garrett said.

This year there are 21 sponsors as well as 21 farmers, ranchers and a vintner. “I am very pleased with how our number of farmers has increased over the past three years,� Jonas wrote. “The foundation of our Maple Valley Farmers’ Market was built on the premise of providing a community gather place in which we would be able to promote and support the sustain-

Another element that has been key to Garrett and Ferguson has been sourcing local from beers to ingredients for the food which comes out of the kitchen.

Most of the 16 brews on tap are craft beers from microbreweries in the Puget Sound region. “We try to say that we’re a pub with a good menu,� Garrett said. “We use a local berry. We make our own sauces. I would say we’re 80 to 90 percent scratch.�

For instance, that partnership with Jill Drllevich would likely not have happened had they not worked to stretch their tiny budget by working with her husband, Dan Drllevich, who owns Millworks Outlet in Maple Valley.

Garrett said Millworks is the best place to get re-purposed materials such as the pool cue rack that started out as a gun rack.

Or the steel rail that goes along the wall in the room with the pool table.

It makes sense that Garrett and Ferguson want the business to run like a well-oiled machine. Both of them work full time but they have four full time employees they rely on. “It was something that we hadn’t even planned,� Ferguson said. “We thought about it a lot, especially given the recession. All of his staff, when they found out he was back, they all returned. His brother, my son work here also. That’s why this is so special to us, we consider our staff family.

After a month of being open, Derrick and I don’t even need to be here.�

Thus far, that’s why the place has been successful, Garrett said.

All the support, the family feel, it set Taphouse, Ink, apart.

A customer and long time friend of Garrett’s said, “it’s like Facebook, but with beer.�

Garrett agreed with that assessment. “It’s a community here,� he said. “We all enjoy each other.�

That’s what keeps it going despite the virtually nonexistent budget when the bar opened.

Collective gardens laws leave officials confused

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@maplevalleyreporter.com

The feds and King County share a similar hands-off policy when it comes to the state’s medical cannabis law and cities approving zoning for collective gardens.

The lack of clarity, however, is what is propelling the proposed ordinance

banning collective gardens, according to Maple Valley city officials.

Maple Valley is considering a potential ban on collective gardens. Much of the rationale for the ban is based on federal law, which has medical marijuana classified as a Schedule I drug, making it illegal to grow, cultivate, possess or use for

“My main conWe’re not focusing David Johnston cern is we’re operaton the compasing legally at all levsion or validity of els of government, medical marijuana. federal, state and local,” he It’s the same rationale that said. “As long as there is Gov. Gregoire used in her line item veto. We have the same concerns.”

City Attorney Christy Todd stated the Medical Cannabis Law gives cities the authority to zone for collective gardens, but does not require them to zone for it.

While other cities in Washington state such as Bellevue and Seattle have approved zoning for collective gardens, Todd stated that the Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA) would not insure the city if a lawsuit was filed against Maple Valley, forcing the city to carry the financial burden.

“When we were doing research I contacted our insurer and said ‘What is

your position in regards to offering defense if any city employee were to be prosecuted for aiding and abetting the permitting of some land use that the federal government said is illegal,’” Todd said. “They said, ‘We only insure under our policy for acts that are legal.’ What they told me is that our insurance provider would not necessarily provide insurance coverage if we had to defend one of our employees.”

MIXED MESSAGES

According to the Washington State Attorney General’s Office, cities have the authority to ban collective gardens if they are given the powers to do so in their municipal code.

Meanwhile, federal law enforcement agencies have given ambivalent messages when it comes to city’s zoning for collective gardens in states with medical cannabis laws. When interviewed, spokespersons from both the justice department and the drug enforcement agency (DEA) declined to

comment on whether cities such as Maple Valley need to, or should, ban collective gardens in order to avoid the risk of federal prosecution.

“We can’t comment on state laws,” said DEA Public Information Officer Jodie Underwood. “Federal law is what we enforce. We can’t talk about hypothetical because we don’t know what each scenario has going on with it. Federal law is federal law. What I can tell you is that federal law prohibits it, so it’s a violation of federal law to do that. Any such entity growing, possessing, distributing is subject to federal prosecution.”

Emily Langlie, spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s Western Washington District Office, stated the justice department doesn’t become involved in local or state legislation issues as a matter of policy.

“Federal statutes in this area would trump state law,” Langlie said. “It’s something that people may express a different legal view of who [ more GARDENS page 11 ]

� Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K : �You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you

can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done!� - Rocky Balboa

Inspired by Zack Lystedt Kris Hill Assistant editor

Little more than a year ago I wrote a column, a first-person perspective if you will, on Tahoma High’s graduation ceremony in which I particularly highlighted Zackery Lystedt’s walk across the stage to accept his diploma.

Not long after that I got an email from Zack’s father, Victor, offering some kind feedback on their reaction to the column.

I saved the email with the idea that at some point I would want to get in touch with the Lystedts to follow up on Zack’s story.

On June 6 the opportunity to meet with Zack and his parents arrived.

When I was talking on the phone with Mercedes Lystedt, Zack’s mom, she asked me how long I thought the interview might take. “Well, unless Zack gets chatty, it will probably take at most an hour,� I said.

Mercedes asked because her son has a busy schedule. She said Zack probably wouldn’t be terribly chatty but her husband Victor may have a lot to say.

She was right. I ended up spending two hours at the Lystedt’s home in unincorporated Maple Valley that afternoon.

I left there with more information than I ever could have included in the article I wrote for the June 15 edition of the Covington-Maple ValleyBlack Diamond Reporter.

When I first arrived Mercedes was busy in the kitchen. We chatted about our kids — my daughter is 2 and loves Jessie from the Toy Story film franchise but also has this tendency to watch “Teletubbies� on YouTube on our iPad which I hate, while Zack’s favorite as a small child was “Blue’s Clues� — so when Zack rolled out in his wheel chair I told him we were just talking about favorite TV shows for little kids.

Shortly after that Victor arrived. I’m not sure Mercedes said much once I started talking with Victor and Zack. I must have gotten distracted by her son’s sense of humor or the story Victor told me about how Zack got to see Eminem and Jay-Z for his first concert experience in September 2010.

Thinking back on it, I hope I didn’t sound patronizing, but I couldn’t help but tell Zack

repeatedly how jealous I was that he got to see that show in New York City. Yes, I love Eminem and Jay-Z. Me. Have all of their albums. I even have “Watch the Throne,� a Jay-Z and Kanye West collaboration.

Zack, who is not a big fan of Kanye, said he didn’t have that one. I can understand that. You either like Kanye or you don’t.

I digress.

I asked Zack who some of his other favorite artists were and he said, “No one’s ever asked me that.�

For a moment, though, when Zack said “Music is my life,� I totally understood that sentiment. Victor filled in the gaps, though, when he said Zack likes Drake — seriously, the kid who used to be on “Degrassi: The Next Generation?�

Now I feel like an old creeper, but, I didn’t say that out loud — and B.O.B among others.

Mostly, I’m still super jealous Zack got to see Eminem and Jay-Z, because much of Eminem’s work really resonates with me. I admire him as a lyricist and relate to his upbringing. Jay-Z is just simply awesome. I also admire his ability to write compelling lyrics and his style is uniquely pleasurable to listen to.

To me, though, the famous people Zack has met have been more than just a blessing, a silver lining in an extremely dark cloud. Meeting those people who have a dramatic influence on our country’s culture — from rappers to professional

My four-year city council experience taught me a great deal about how politicians think.

Their goal is to get elected and, once elected, they do everything in their power to keep from being unseated. Fear of failure is probably the biggest motivator of incumbents.

Every decision, every word, must be carefully thought through before uttering. An off-hand candid remark can end a candidacy.

Because of this, candidates must become very calculating, weighing their words to set the right tone or elicit just the right response with the right group.

Knowing this, I listen to what both parties are saying and doing, trying to understand their strategies and their appeals to different parts of the electorate.

Even the Supreme Court, with its landmark decision a little more than three years ago called Citizens United vs. The Federal Election Commission, was playing politics with campaign financing by allowing

corporations to be considered as individuals.

This put corporations under the protection of the First Amendment to the Constitution allowing them to pour millions of dollars into the 2012 political race and compete with President Obama’s money-making Internet machine. At least, that’s my cynical view of the Supreme Court position.

What does this mean for you, the voter? I’ll tell you what it means to me. It tells me I must become more aware of my emotions, and not let politicians manipulate me by using political hot buttons. I must not get tunnel vision over one of these hot button issues. I must decide with the question in mind: “Who is the best person for the job?� Spelling out my voting criteria is really important in accomplishing this.

So the next time you see or hear the hot button issues, think of this article and don’t let the politicians highjack your emotions. The decision needs to be yours, not some political machine’s.

athletes to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell — means that his message about concussion safety as well as taking precautions with youth athletes who may have suffered a concussion can spread further and faster.

That makes my envy evaporate. Zack’s message, which he said gets stronger as he gets stronger, is of the utmost importance. I’ve seen student-athletes after they’ve had their bells rung. And having followed Zack’s story since he initially suffered the injury that changed his life in October 2006 coupled with what I’ve experienced up close in the past year has provided me with a whole new understanding of how critical his quest to raise awareness is now.

What was cool is that Zack was able to show me around his end of the house, which was built specifically with his needs in mind, so I could see his movie room complete with snacks, a popcorn maker and a drop down theater screen along with cushy seats as well as the memorabilia room.

Shortly after that, Christian Behrens arrived at the front door with a basketball signed by his teammates from the University of California, and at that point Zack hung out with Behrens like any other teenage guy would do with a buddy he hasn’t seen in a while.

From there, Victor and I chatted some more

Hot button issues get votes Same-sex marriage. This is the most recent, commonly used hot button that is rallying the troops on either side of the political spectrum.

The topic raises people’s blood pressure, cause the veins in their necks to pop out and reddens their faces.

Some people make this and other issues so important they become the sole criteria for voting for or against a candidate. That’s why they’re being rolled out now during an election year.

Political parties do not want people to think. They want people to react emotionally. Pushing these political hot buttons does exactly that.

The plan someday, Victor said, is for he and his wife to move out when Zack is at a point where he doesn’t need them anymore. Given how rapidly the 19-year-old has progressed since the family moved into the house in September that day may come much sooner than anyone anticipated.

At one point during the tour, I asked Victor if Zack re-learning to walk was at all analogous to when his son learned as a toddler. “No, it’s nothing like that.

Victor said, the pathways in his brain were broken. In order for his son to walk, talk, feed and dress himself again after he had done all those things effortlessly for years required the building of new pathways.

As those things were built anew, those goals of simple tasks gave way again to the kinds of goals all parents have for their kids: a career, a spouse, grandchildren someday and ultimately independence.

Since speaking with the Lystedts, I sent each of them friend requests on Facebook — they all accepted. While I was trying to come up with a headline for the story, I posted on Zack’s wall asking what his favorite Eminem or Jay-Z song might be, searching for inspiration.

I had Googled “Eminem

Turns out I had. I was thinking about using a lyric from the song “Till I Collapse� off Eminem’s 2002 album “The Eminem Show.�

Which was the song Zack suggested. Hopefully he likes the headline I wrote.

I feel lucky I had the opportunity to spend time with the Lystedts. What Zack has accomplished is amazing.

Personally, I think I would be impressed with him even if he had not suffered his injury and gone through the lengthy ordeal he’s had to conquer thus far.

I am glad the column I wrote last year wasn’t the last time I wrote about something amazing Zackery Lystedt did. And I suspect this column won’t be the last.

Keeping Endless Summer hydrangeas in the sun

Community Note BLACK DIAMOND POLICE PREPARE FOR OPERATION DRY WATER Recreational boating fatalities last year jumped to their highest levels since 1998 and boating under the influence (BUI) was the leading contributing factor, according to the U.S. Coast Guard’s report, 2011 Recreational Boating Statistics.

The report comes just weeks before the Black Diamond Police Department participates in the national Operation Dry Water 2012 campaign.

This nationwide campaign focuses on enforcement of BUI laws and educating all boaters to the risks of operating a boat under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.

Officers will be out on Lake Sawyer in force June 22-24.

branches and grow into the full-bodied shrub it was meant to be. Replace this giant old-fashioned hydrangea with a dwarf or ever-blooming hydrangea that can be more easily kept under control. Hydrangeas are happiest when they are left to grow natural and never pruned. The new varieties like Endless Summer and Blushing Bride are an exception as you can cut back the branches on these hydrangeas in spring or summer and still get blooms; they will flower on new growth instead of twoyear-old wood like traditional big leaf hydrangeas.

Q. I was given a beautiful pink hydrangea for Mother’s Day. It has unusual blooms that are more flat than the round ball hydrangea flowers. Do you know what type of hydranMarianne Binetti

June also is the month to add more hydrangeas to your garden.

These summer-blooming shrubs now come in a wider range of colors, sizes and flower types.

Here are the most-asked questions about growing hydrangeas.

Q. How do I prune my giant hydrangea? I have figured out that when I prune my big leaf hydrangea back to keep it from blocking the front windows it punishes me and does not flower again for a couple of years. Right now I can tell there are flower buds at the end of some branches but this monster is over 5 feet tall and again blocking the window. R., email A. I vote you move this hydrangea to a new spot where it can spread out its

gea this is, can I plant it outside and will it survive the winter here and bloom again next year?

A. It sounds like you’ve received one of the new gift hydrangeas called Strawberries and Cream and the good news is it can go out into the garden in our climate for years of enjoyment. The flowers you describe are called “lace cap� as the center blooms do not open, giving the illusion of a lacy frill around a center cap of buds. Enjoy the blooms indoors but by June remove the plant from it’s pot and replant into a spot where it is protected from the hot afternoon sun.

Hydrangeas love moist soil and newly-planted hydrangeas will need extra water the first summer and into the fall until they establish a strong root system.

There’s no need to fertilize your newly-transplanted hydrangea as you want this greenhouse-grown plant to harden off or acclimate to

Impaired boaters may expect penalties that include fines and jail time. “We intend to arrest intoxicated boaters and to educate as many boaters as possible about the dangers of boating under the influence,� said Commander Goral in a press release statement.

According to the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), boating under the influence of alcohol and drugs continues to be a major problem in the United States.

Boat operators or even passengers with a blood alcohol concentration above the legal limit run a significantly increased risk of being involved in a fatal boating accident.

According to the Coast Guard’s report, alcohol was a contributing factor 19 percent of boating fatalities in the U.S. last year.

Between 2007 and 2011, the Washington State Parks Boating Safety Programs reports at least 30 people were killed in boating accidents where alcohol was a contributing factor. “When impaired by alcohol, boating accidents are more probable and

the outdoor life. A mulch over the roots during the first winter will help it to survive and grow into a tough shrub that flowers each summer.

Q. I had a blue hydrangea but once I moved it closer to the house it turned more purple and almost lavender.

Why do hydrangeas change from blue to pink? P.P., Enumclaw A. Hydrangeas are the only shrub with such gender issues, coming out to the world blue in our naturally acid soil of western Washington. If you add lime around the roots of your big leaf hydrangeas the acidity of the soil and the flowers will change to pink or lavender depending on the amount of aluminum available in the soil. I suspect the gender confusion in your case is caused by the cement foundation of your house. Enough lime may have leached from the concrete to make the soil less acid, so the flower color

changes. To feminize your blue hydrangeas you can add lime around the base of the shrubs. Start with just one-half cup of dolomite lime per plant as too much lime will turn the soil too alkaline and cause yellow leaves. Add aluminum sulfate to the soil to make it more acid and to keep your hydrangeas a more manly blue. ***

Operation Dry Water (ODW) was launched in 2009 by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) in partnership with the U.S. Coast Guard.

The campaign puts thousands of local, state and federal marine law enforcement officers on the water nationwide prior to the July 4 holiday to give BUI enforcement high visibility during the peak boating season.

Operation Dry Water 2012 is a joint program of the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators, the U.S. Coast Guard, the Washington State Parks and Recreation Boating Programs, and local law enforcement officers from around the state.

When June arrived you may have noticed your vegetable seedlings and annual plants experiencing a growth spurt.

Just like a teenager, they now have a huge appetite so this is your reminder to fertilize.

Roses and perennials also benefit from a feeding this month and if you still have not fertilized the lawn, make sure you do so early in the month before the hot weather arrives.

You should not feed clematis vines in bud or bloom. Clematis is the queen of all vines here in the Northwest and thrives in our cool summer weather but if you give clematis a big dose of plant food just as it starts to bloom it sometimes drops the flower buds before they open in a misguided effort to grow more foliage.

Instead, pamper your clematis with an organic mulch placed on top of the roots but not quite touching

Dear Customer, Republic Services (Allied Waste) recently negotiated a 5-year agreement with the Teamsters Local 117 that best serves our employees, our company and, most importantly, our customers.

We approached these negotiations with the intentions of taking good care of our team and providing reliable service to our communities. On June 2, our union employees overwhelmingly approved our agreement.

You may have seen media coverage about a possible disruption in the collection of recyclables and waste. To be clear, this is due to negotiations between one of our competitors and Teamsters Local 117 and there is no reason to believe Republic’s customers will be impacted by this situation.

Republic is proud to have reached a mutually beneficial agreement with Teamsters Local 117, one that ensures continued excellent service to all of our customers in Washington. We are pleased with the outcome of our recent negotiations and feel the process was respectful and collaborative, a true testament to the strength of our relationship.

We value our community partnerships and look forward to providing your recycle and waste solutions in the years ahead.

entwood graduate Alyx Toeaina has signed on with the University of Washington to throw for the Huskies track and field team.

Toeaina, who lives next to Kentwood and graduated June 9, stated that she signed with the university for a partial scholarship the first week into the track season. “I wanted to get it out of the way so I wouldn’t have to worry about it during the season,� she said. “I wanted to stay closer to home.�

Toeaina finished her final track season as a Conqueror with two silver medals at the state championship in discus and shotput, throwing distances of 130 feet, nine inches and 43 feet, 03.5 inches respectively. As a junior she took first place at state in the discus with a throw of 136-03.

Toeaina started out freshman year in 2009 with a 12th place at state in the shotput and ninth at districts. With a natural talent to throw, Toaeina said she improved due to the intense

competition she had at the various invitationals she was able to go to. “It built up my competitiveness,� she said. “I was up against people who were better than me.�

Her sophomore year Toeaina made large gains, taking fifth at state in the shotput and qualifying for state in the discus, where she ultimately placed fourth.

Her junior year, she secured third at state in the shotput and the gold medal in discus.

Much like the Conks girls team, which place third this year after taking the state title in 2011, Toeaina said she struggled to repeat the same level of success. “It wasn’t as good as last year,� she said. “In discus I was all over the place.

I wasn’t as consistent (as shotput).�

In addition to track, she was also able to use her explosive power on the court with the Conks volleyball team, which took second at state in November.

With a summer training program already in place, Toeaina hopes to build on her throwing talent during

Putting out a free pile of stuff is like forgiveness of sins sale, but would never be accepted at Goodwill, we put out in front of our house with a “free� sign. We live a couple houses away from a busy street where there are no sidewalks and the cars probably all drive too fast. But a free sign pops out like flashing neon to even the most rushed driver.

Even with the experience of having to disperse saved stuff off the sun porch, it doesn’t stop us from accumulating more stuff. The tool shed is the perfect out-of-sight-out-ofmind storage. We clean it out about every five years or so when we can’t actually get to the tools we store in there. And of course, anything we get rid of goes into the free pile in front of our house.

I just love that free pile. I love to see what people take, I love to “catch� people taking it because often the stuff is just gone like it blew away, I love feeling like I’m recycling, but most of all I love that the free pile forgives us our sins.

I did a major clean out of the shed this time. My biggest accumulation seemed to be in pots, planters, whatever you call them. I had a ton of them in different shapes and sizes and made from different materials: the store-bought, plastic variety, odd ceramic things that could only have come from garage sales, and empty plastic pots I must’ve kept after I planted whatever was in it. There were brown ones, green ones, blue ones, pink ones, flowery ones, and teapots

and watering cans I’d made into planters.

But as I went through the shed nothing came to me.

There was no memory from any pot I touched as to its origin. I didn’t know why I bought it or if I even did, I didn’t know why I kept it, I didn’t know who gave it to me, I didn’t know what I was planning on doing with it.

Out to the free pile every single one of those pots went.

And like usual there was that moment where my confidence was shaken: “No one will take this stuff and I’ll have to throw it away.� But like magic, usually when my back is turned or I run to the store for a few minutes, everything vanishes.

If I had to throw all those pots away (and I’m talking a major pile), I would have felt tremendous guilt. But the free pile accepts all my “sins� without judgment and makes them all go away. I don’t feel guilty anymore; although if I remembered if I spent money on any of them, I probably would. But I don’t and neither does the free pile.

We should all be like the free pile.

Firefighters fund helps those in need

Carpenter. “It was a project that had been talked about for a long time,� Carpenter said. “There were times throughout the year that families and firefighters families would request from union for financial assistant. The union wasn’t quite the right way to do that. We’re paying our unions to support us.�

Seeing a large need for a fund, firefighter Jeff Hammock created a 501(c)3 charitable organization. “We saw a need in the community as well as in our

Prepared lunch meats don’t need any further preparation, and this can make them an easy choice for people with chronic conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, since not a lot of work is required before they’re ready to eat. Nitrates are used to keep cured meat fresh and shelf stable, and they also keep them looking and tasting good.

However, new evidence suggests that the nitrates in lunch meat can worsen COPD sufferers’ symptoms. While the reason for the results of the study is still unclear, it is possible that nitrates damage the lung tissue. Another possibility is that the high amount of salt found in lunch meats contributes to the flareups. One thing is clear from the research mentioned above: lifestyle changes can help COPD sufferers, so quit smoking and go easy on the lunch meat.

Good nutrition helps the body fight infections, so it’s important to reduce your risk of infection by following a healthy diet. And lunch meat is not part of a healthy diet! Keep in mind that COPD patients use more energy while breathing than the average person. Therefore, a COPD patient’s breathing muscles might require up to 10 times the calories needed by a person without COPD.

LIVING WITH GLEIGH

My husband and I cleaned out our tool shed last weekend. I call it a tool shed on a very loose level. It’s a little wooden shed that was here when we moved in 20 years ago and we have stored tools in it, but it also collects other random items we don’t know what to do with.

The other “storage� facility that was on our property when we moved in was a dilapidated sun porch. It was an old, enclosed structure with fiberglass siding and roof just outside the sliding glass door off our family room. It really wasn’t useful except provided a place to throw stuff we didn’t know what to do with.

About three or four years into our residence we decided to tear down the sun porch and make an actual, usable porch. The first task in that endeavor was to disperse the stuff we had accumulated. I remember it seemed overwhelming to deal with the items we’d amassed. I must’ve kept them for a reason and I had to find them new places in the house, garage or shop. The other thing I remember very clearly is how easily we dispersed the stuff, because it mostly ended up being junk and made a one-way trip to the dump.

I think the sun porch clean out may have been our first experience with a free pile. Anything we felt was too good to get thrown away, not worth pulling together a garage

Maple Valley resident Kristi Blair with her mother, Karen Denmark. Denmark passed away in 2007 after a three year-long fight with breast cancer. Blair was diagnosed with breast cancer last October. COURTESY PHOTO

Breast cancer gave Maple Valley resident Kristi Blair a one-two punch. Now she’s starting to hit back.

First, it took her mother Karen Denamark, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004. Having discovered it late, she was subjected to rigorous treatments before she eventually died in 2007.

Then Blair was diagnosed with breast cancer in October. Because it was caught early, however, Blair underwent several surgeries that, in addition to other therapy, successfully put her cancer in remission.

Several months later the 35-year-old formed Wings of Karen, a breast cancer foundation named after her mother that she hopes will either lead to a cure or better treatment.

Unlike other breast cancer foundations, however, all funds raised remain local.

Donations made to Wings of Karen goes to the research and clinical program of the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, a collaboration between University of Washington Medicine and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. “I have always done research,� she said. “I was very passionate after my diagnosis. I realized I wanted to do something more. I wanted to start research based in this area.�

Blair stated she wants to keep the donations local for several reasons, one of which is the research centers located in the Seattle area. “We are blessed to live in a community supported by some of the best doctors and researchers in the world,� she said.

The other reason is she believes that people like to donate to causes knowing people in their own community will directly benefit from their support.

Besides finding a cure for breast cancer, Blair also hopes Wings of Karen will help researchers discover alternative treatments to chemotherapy that are less harsh. “That’s still so much that’s unknown,� she said. “That’s why the treatments are so harsh. There will be a cure, but there needs to be research (first).�

As a part of its fundraising, Blair has organized a 5K Bra Dash race in September at Lake Wilderness Park. “It’s bringing awareness of a very serious topic so that people can feel good and still smile about it,� she said.

Blair said her mother’s attitude throughout the ordeal has served as inspiration for others going through the same experience. “I look at it as spawning the wings of hope,� she said. “She was a vibrant, caring woman.�

Decayed or decaying baby teeth can potentially represent active infection in the mouth. Anytime there is infection in the body or mouth, it requires immediate attention by a physician or dentist, respectively. Long term, if baby teeth are left to rot, fall out, or get extracted, there is greater potential for permanent teeth to grow in and shift requiring future orthodontic care.

Mountain View Fire and Rescue and King County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) rescued a man and his dog off of the Green River this morning after they spent a full night on a small island.

The man and his dog were in a small, inflatable raft last night when they fell into the river.

They ended up on the small island in the middle of the river.

The man took off his wet clothes to avoid hypothermia and spent the night naked waiting for help.

A couple construction workers heard the man yelling this morning but could not get close enough to communicate to him.

The construction workers then asked a fisherman with waders to get closer to the man to see if he needed help.

They immediately called 9-1-1 once they learned he needed rescued.

Six schools in the Tahoma School District were given recognition by King County for their successful conservation practices from the county’s Green Schools Program.

The program has served a growing number of schools each year, with 100 schools participating in 2009-10, 120 in 2010-11, and 154 in 2011-12.

The program has three levels which involve students and staff in learning about and practicing conservation of natural resources.

This spring, Tahoma School District became the first school district to be recognized as a Level Three Green School District by completing the level’s water conservation criteria.

The district also completed Level Two during this past school year by focusing on energy conservation.

All eight Tahoma School District schools have completed Level One and Level Two, and five of the schools also have completed Level Three.

The schools that completed Level Two

were Rock Creek Elementary School, Tahoma High School and Tahoma Middle School The schools that completed Level Three were Cedar River Middle School, Lake Wilderness Elementary School and Shadow Lake Elementary School The award-winning King County Green Schools Program provides hands-on assistance, recycling containers and stickers, and the ongoing support schools need to engage students and staff in conservation actions. Simple steps, such as turning off lights in unoccupied rooms and recycling paper, bottles and cans, add up to big benefits.

In addition to providing schools with the hands-on help they need, the Green Schools Program offers a website, www.kingcounty.gov/ GreenSchools, with helpful tools and resources.

King County also provides an elementary school assembly program, classroom workshops and support for student green teams.

Schools and districts interested in the Green Schools Program can contact
