Medical marijuana moratorium extended

City works to stay ahead of spending

The Covington City Council voted unanimously to extend the moratorium on medical marijuana collective gardens at its July 24 meeting.

City Manager Derek Matheson stated that city wants to wait until next year to see if various changes to state and federal laws are made before proceeding with any other course of action.

“Our legal counsel believes that there are very legitimate reason COVINGTON to press the pause button on regulations,” he said.

Matheson said the city added language to the moratorium, which was extended for six months, to include any business related to medical marijuana, including management companies.

A medical marijuana dispensary called Covington Holistic Medicine is located within the city limits. Because it opened before the moratorium, it has remained open.

According to the meeting minutes, no one spoke during the

The day may come soon when the city of Maple Valley will have to issue bond levies to finance projects rather than dip into its general fund, according to city officials.

At the City Council’s July 23 meeting, Finance Director Tony McCarthy gave a presentation explaining how the city’s general fund balance has been more or less diminishing since 2005.

A general fund balance is the amount of funds MAPLE the city ends a VALLEY year with. In a telephone interview, McCarthy explained that a general fund balance is much like a person’s assets minus liabilities, such as credit debt. The general fund balance percentage refers to the amount of money the city has to pay for the year’s expenses.

One month, therefore, accounts for 8.3 percent. The city’s general fund balance is currently at 30 percent. But the city’s financial forecast report has the percentage dropping each year until it reaches 10 percent by 2017.

Covington teams up with teens to increase pet license purchases

BY TJ MARTINELL

tmartinell@covingtonreporter.com

The city of Covington is teaming up with a Kent-based youth organization in order to increase the number of licensed pets while decreasing the cost of providing animal control services through King County.

Project U(th), run by Barry Fretwell, is comprised of about

a dozen teenagers — many of whom attend Kentwood or Kentlake — who plan to raise awareness about pet licenses by doing door-to-door in neighborhoods.

“It’s been challenging,” Fretwell said. “The city’s been cooperative.

They’ve been great…we’re going to pull it off and it’s going to be rosy in a few weeks. We’re going to have training with the county and then do some door belling in

August.”

According to City Manager Derek Matheson, roughly 23 percent of Covington pet owners have licensed their pets.

Covington, in addition to other cities within King County, participate in an animal control Derek Matheson program that consists of licensing, field services and shelters. Matheson stated that the lower the city’s licensed pet percentage is, the higher their cost is for the animal

control program.

For example, last year it cost the county $116,637 to provide animal control services for Covington. Covington residents paid $48,780 in pet licensing fees last year. After receiving a subsidy of $15,364, the city was left with a bill of $52,493.

Project U(th)’s intention is to encourage pet owners to license their pets. The first planned event is scheduled for Aug. 4 at the Covington Petco.

“Anything is an improvement is how everybody’s looking at it,” Fretwell said.

Matheson said it not only helps out the city by reducing costs, but

a license provides several benefits for owners.

“Licensed pets are generally reunited with their owner faster,” he said. “They get a free ride the first time they’re found so they don’t go to the shelter. They get more time in the shelter. You can sign up for this vacation pet alert program so they know who to contact in your absence.”

Matheson said the idea first came earlier in the year about when the city was negotiating its three-year contract renewal for animal control services with the county.

In terms of a ban on collective gardens, Matheson said, “We haven’t evaluated the pros and cons of an outright ban. We’ll evaluate that in six months.�

The issue has proved far less contentious than in neighboring Maple Valley, where the City Council voted in late June to ban collective gardens after a medical marijuana manage-

ment company opened in April.

Matheson stated that this may be due to the fact that the city previously allowed a dispensary to open up in the city. “I can only guess that it’s because we already have on medical marijuana business and it hasn’t been an issue for the community,� he said. “Medical marijuana businesses therefore don’t see Covington as an opponent.�

The Covington City Council first passed a yearlong moratorium on collective gardens in August 2011 after the Planning Commission voted to recommend such a moratorium.

The current issue facing the city arose in April 29, 2011 when Gov. Chris Gregoire vetoed portions of a bill passed by the Legislature amending the state law allowing the use of medical marijuana.

Initiative 692 was passed by state voters in 1998 allowing a defense for possession of marijuana for qualifying patients or designated providers.

Covington City Attorney Sara Springer told the Reporter in August 2011, “The problem with (Gregoire’s veto) is there are still many uncertainties and ambiguities how to apply this legislation on a local level.�

gram, whereby the city and county used volunteers and temporary employees to reach out to pet owners and encourage licensing.

At the same time, Project U(th) expressed interest in working with the city on pet licenses. “It was kind of serendipity,� Matheson said. “(We) found the county staff were

really eager to help because it was the first time we were involving the private sector or youth in pet license canvassing. It’s kind of a neat public-private partnership and a great example of the role youth can play in city government.�

Fretwell said that Project U(th) intends to continue the program indefinitely.

For more information about Project U(th), go to its website at www.projectuth.org.

Covington council members expressed interest in boosting pet license sales to reduce the city’s out of pocket costs. During the negotiations they learned how other cities in the county had succeeded in that endeavor by using a pet license canvassing pro-

If it were to drop that low, McCarthy said, the city’s bond rating could be lowered.

In February, Standard and Poor confirmed the city’s AA+ rating, but noted that “If the district (city) were to significantly draw down its General Fund (fund balance) we could lower the rating.�

City Manager David Johnston called it a “nice warning.â€? “What they’re saying is that‌the more you show in your savings account the more confident the investments, the buyers of the bond have that you’re a more stable environment,â€?

Johnston said.

Johnston stated it was also a reminder that the city will eventually have to find other revenue sources to avoid dipping into its general fund to pay for capital and community projects.

He said there were several options available, including a bond levy. “When it comes to any vote initiative, we look at our capital programs or roads improvements,�

Johnston said. “You have to ask the voter to have a bond issue...and that goes on top of the property tax bill‌ Property taxes are stable,

Despite the numbers in the general fund forecast report, McCarthy remained optimistic and said the numbers are merely in keeping with Maple Valley’s habit of budgeting conservatively, where spending is intentionally overestimated and revenue intentionally underestimated. “I think what their problem has been‌is that it always look like it’s (fund balance) going to be lower‌ because we try to budget conservatively, but if you look at the chart from the last year it’s 30 percent for 2011,â€?

Greg Oberst of Covington talks about “Disasters of the Northwest: Stories of Courage and Chaos�

BY KRIS HILL

khill@covingtonreporter.com

Ellensburg was all set to be the state capital in the summer of 1889 until a fire on the Fourth of July destroyed the town.

That’s the sort of history lesson, the kind of hidden gem Covington author Greg Oberst discovered while writing his second book, “Disasters of the Northwest: Stories of Courage and Chaos,� which was released last summer. “Despite the ominous title,� Oberst said, “it’s a great history lesson for the Northwest.�

Oberst’s first book, “Washington Sports Trivia,� was published by another imprint within the same company, Overtime Books, in the spring of 2010.

This latest tome was released under the Folklore Publishing name. Originally Oberst was given a five month timeline to complete the book about disasters in the region compared to the two months he was given for the sports trivia book.

When all was said and done, however, “Disasters of the Northwest,� took a year to complete including editing and re-writes. “The first thing we did was work with the publisher to figure out what was a disaster, what qualifies as a disaster,� Oberst said. “Is it strictly a body count? Is it a structure loss? Is it both?

That was a hard thing to define because disasters can impact in other ways too and have lingering effects that are only known later.�

Rather than use a definition of a disaster based on lives lost or property loss, Oberst said, the decision was made to look at the breadth of impact of a disaster on the Northwest in whatever form that took.

For example, the Nisqually earthquake of 2001 had a significant impact on many, and though it didn’t kill anyone it was a disaster, Oberst explained.

With that in mind, Oberst worked with the publisher to generate a list of 50 to 60 disasters that was then whittled down to fit the proposed page count.

It’s worth noting that the Nisqually earthquake would be evaluated in a different way than the Ravensdale Mine disaster of 1915 because disasters had a different impact on

Popular restaurant chain, which opened second store in Covington in 2009, to expand to Kent Station

BY KRIS HILL

khill@covingtonreporter.com

F

ans of Trapper’s Sushi will soon have a new location to get their fix when the fifth store opens in Kent Station in early September.

Started by its namesake, Trapper O’Keefe, in Bonney Lake (originally known as Sushi Town), the sushi chain has grown by leaps and bounds in the past three years since the second location opened in Covington in April 2009.

When the spot of a former sushi restaurant opened up in Kent Station, explained Covington General Manager Jaysin Reyna, it seemed like an obvious step to expand though they weren’t looking there at the time. “My brother, Trapper, found it,� Reyna said. “We got this opening and it was a perfect opportunity, great location.�

At the time the spot in Kent opened up they were scouting locations in Seattle but Reyna said his brother knows when to close a deal. “For Trapper, it’s the opportunity,� Reyna said. “When there’s an opportunity for Trapper in a great location that’s going to do well, he has a great sense for that.�

Reyna, who like his brother learned how to make sushi as a teenager from their brother-inlaw Eisuke Sato, said the new location in Kent which is 3,549 square feet, will be larger than the store in Covington, which measures 2,828 square feet.

It will have a full sushi bar, an outside patio seating area, a full bar and will be later than many of the other stores in Kent Station.

Reyna noted that in addition to drawing from their existing clientele, they anticipate drawing from the other businesses in the commercial

development as well as the Regional Justice Center, Green River Community College campus at Kent Station, the movie theater and commuters as they step off the Sounder train just about a hundred feet from the restaurant’s door. “We do have clientele from Kent and all over,�

Reyna said. “We have customers who come here twice a week. We put our love into it.�

Since they got the keys to the Kent Station spot in July, workers have been gutting out the interior including removing the conveyor belt which was the centerpiece of the previous restaurant, which offered a different style of sushi.

But, it’s more than just the food that sets Trappers’ Sushi apart, Reyna said. “What we do is we are a family-based restaurant, so, everything to us is family, including our customers,� he said. “We get to know our customers. It’s like ‘Cheers.’ We have this great intimacy of conversation and we get to know one another.�

It doesn’t hurt, though, that patrons love the food.

Patrons sitting at the sushi bar will rave to someone about the food if they notice their neighbor is not a regular. They offer opinions on their favorite roll or suggestions on other items to try like the squid salad.

Devoted customers talk about following O’Keeffe from the Muckleshoot Casino where he worked prior to starting his first restaurant in Bonney Lake to Covington and even bragging about how far they drive just to get a fix. “We actually Americanized it,� Reyna said about the sushi. “We mixed it up from the way we were taught by our brother in law, Eisuke. We learned Osaka style from him, the art of sushi

from him, so we mixed it with our own (style).�

Which results in a range of traditional ngiri such as tuna and salmon on sushi rice to hand rolls to the familiar California roll to things like the Covington roll which has tempura shrimp, cucumber, tempura asparagus and avocado inside with tuna on top along with a tangy dressing or the Bonney Lake, which is entirely dipped in batter and fried then sliced up before topped with spicy crab.

Staff are encouraged to come up with ideas for new rolls but it takes all the right ingredients, both figuratively and literally, to get one on the menu, Reyna said. “Experience, you’ve got to have experience, you’ve got to love what you do,� he said. “You’ve got to love sushi, to have tasted all the fish to know what works together to make a great roll.

And to have the pallet to know what makes a great roll.�

Reyna will hand over the reigns of the Covington store to his brother Jimmy while he takes over the new location in Kent. He’s confident in his brother because he has all the ingredients and worked in the Covington location since 2009.

The Covington store has more employees than the other three locations at present with 27 but Reyna expects to hire up to 35 for Kent and is looking for chefs, servers, waitresses, hostesses and bartenders.

If his brother has his way, Reyna said, someday there will be a total of 12 Trapper’s Sushi restaurants throughout the region.

He’s not sure where they will go next. “We want to go to Seattle,� Reyna said. “We’ll go wherever there’s opportunity.�

Two Great Organizations Dedicated to Helping Kids consists of three organizations, Seattle Children’s Hospital, Seattle Children’s Research Institute and Seattle Children’s Hospital Foundation.

Children’s Hospital provides inpatient, outpatient, diagnostic, surgical, rehabilitative, behavioral, emergency and outreach services. It has 254 beds and a staff of over 1,200 professionals, including over 700 doctors. In 2011, it had over 300,000 patient visits, including visits to off-site clinics. Seattle Children’s Research Institute has nine major centers with over 350 investigators researching hundreds of diseases and disorders in fields such as cancer, genetics, immunology, pathology, infectious disease, injury prevention and bioethics. Researchers in the centers collaborate with each other and with their colleagues at partner institutions including the University of Washington and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

Doernbecher Children’s Hospital began serving patients in 1926 in Portland and is now affiliated with Oregon Health and Sciences University. It has clinics in several communities

around the state of Oregon and one in Vancouver, Washington. Like Children’s Hospital in Seattle, Doernbecher is involved in research which is quickly translated into new treatments. Specific areas of research include cardiology,

neurology, weight regulation, metabolism, oncology and stem cell research.

Both Children’s Hospital in Seattle and Doernbecher Children’s Hospital believe that children should have compassionate, family-centered care. Both are at the

forefront of pediatric medical research so that they can advance new treatments in their quests to prevent, treat and eliminate pediatric disease. You can join QFC in supporting these great institutions by donating at any check stand using the

Paid Adver tisement

In a perfect world every child would be happy and healthy. Unfortunately, the real world doesn’t work that way and not all children are able to enjoy good health. But fortunately, many of those young people who have health issues have two premiere northwest institutions to turn to for some of the best pediatric care in the country. They are Children’s Hospital in Seattle and Doernbecher Children’s Hospital in Oregon. QFC is proud to support these two great organizations as our charities of the month for August. Each is a leader in providing superior patient care and using research to advance new treatments.

Children’s Hospital in Seattle has been treating children regardless of race, religion, gender or a family’s ability to pay since 1907 and provided over $100 million in uncompensated care in 2011.

It has consistently been ranked among the best children’s hospitals in the U.S. and serves as a pediatric and adolescent referral center for Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho. Seattle Children’s

�Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!�

Benjamin Franklin

‘1948’ gets me Dewey-eyed Dennis Box Regional editor

I’ve been reading “1948,� an interesting book

by David Pietrusza.

Pietrusza’s book is a well-documented account of the race for the White House in 1948 when Democrat Harry Truman pulled out a shocker over Republican Tom Dewey.

Dewey has been characterized as something of an intellectual stuffed shirt through the years, which may have been true.

I came across an interesting scene in the book where Dewey and Harold Stassen were debating in Portland on May 17, 1948 prior to the state’s primary election. The two were locked in a pretty good battle for the Republican nomination.

The serious effort to hunt down communists was just beginning to gather steam and would boil over when the Alger Hiss case hit in August 1948 and Sen. Joe McCarthy took center stage in the troubling period of tyranny for our country.

Stassen was riding a populist movement based on a bill proposed by Republicans Richard Nixon, then a representative from California, and Rep. Karl Mundt of South Dakota.

The bill established the Subversive Activities Control Board and outlawed the CPUSA, Communist Party USA. The easy thing was to jump on the “let’s hate the commies� bandwagon. It made for easy talking points and easy votes.

Stassen’s point was the communist organization should be outlawed because “patriotic young Americans� were being drafted to fight the menace.

I always get a bad feeling when a candidate uses “patriotic,� “young� and “hero� in a sentence.

Dewey’s response was simple and based on the

Constitution, which he clearly understood. “I am unalterably, wholeheartedly, and unswervingly against any scheme to write laws outlawing people because of their religious, political, social or economic ideas,� he replied.

I have too often seen candidates and sitting political officials at the federal, state and city level fall to pandering for an easy slap on the back, because your friends like you better, or some other reason excluding a reasoned and thoughtful position.

The clarity of Dewey’s statement has something for everyone. Council members, representatives and community members are faced with difficult choices that often put them at odds with friends and neighbors. It may be most troubling for council members who will be seeing their neighbors in the grocery store, probably walking past without speaking.

(It happens to me all the time after I write a column someone doesn’t like, but it cheers me

up because‌ well, let’s not get into that.)

National issues like hunting commies may seem remote from our little towns, but they are not.

I remember my dad telling me about a teacher from Enumclaw who was pulled before a subversive activities board. There is nothing like a local group of tyrants screaming and waving their arms about how everyone else should think and act.

Democracy in action, and I can say it is alive and well today.

The best defense against the dangers of groupthink are leaders like Dewey – people willing to think through an issue for the good of all, instead of handshakes of a few.

It is well worth taking a look at Pietrusza’s book if you are at all interested in the TrumanDewey race, where the country was at the time and some thoughtful prose on American politics at all levels.

Forums over the past months and this topic has been brought up at almost every City Council meeting over the past several months.

It has been the substantial citizen involvement that has brought this change proposal forward.

It was only when the citizens went to the city to obtain the initiative and ballot process that the Asst. City Administrator informed the citizens that the city of Black Diamond did not have a referendum process and referred the citizens to King County Elections. Unlike Enumclaw, Maple Valley or most of the incorporated cities, Black Diamond had never formalized the referendum process. Ballot measures have historically been placed on the ballot through the Council resolution process.

In fact, King County Elections has notified the city of Black Diamond that they would be unable to process a petition directly submitted by the citizens; that the city would have to present the petition. The city was in a powerful position of denying public the opportunity to petition their government through the referendum process or placing it on the ballot through resolution.

The Council was clear it was only for this reason that the Resolution was passed. If one looks at the July 19 council agenda, you will also see that the City Council passed a resolution to initiate the initiative and referendum process within the BDMC. Statement: Why the attempt to hurriedly change our city government? Why was this done

in a special, lightly attended council meeting on Monday, July 9 (Council meetings are normally held on Thursday)?

Fact: The Black Diamond City administration knew for months about this gap in the BDMC and kept sending the public back to King County Elections, who kept sending the public back to the city with a stern comment that this was the City’s problem. In fact King County Elections stated that the citizens should seek legal counsel.

Once the City Council realized that there was no mechanism for the public to assert any process they were faced with an extremely tight timeline of Aug. 7 for the fall election. The special meeting was held Monday the 9th because the City Offices were closed for furlough on the regular scheduled Thursday the 5th in conjunction with the Fourth of July Holiday.

Statement: However, the residents of the Lake Sawyer annexation area, who use Covington Water and Soos Creek sewer, only pay the stormwater tax, a small contribution to the enterprise funds compared to old Black Diamond. Why is the council not addressing this inequity rather than attempting to change our government?

Fact: Because the residents of Lake Sawyer are in the Covington Water and Soos Creek Water and Sewer Districts, they cannot be serviced by the City of Black Diamond for water and sewer. This is pretty self-explanatory. The Lake residents do pay stormwater taxes. Furthermore,

Change of government the will of Black Diamond voters

Dear Editor, I will respond to the July 17, 2012 LTE “Keep Black Diamond Current Form of Government� in a similar vein and with some fact-checking.

Statement: The Black Diamond City Council is attempting to change over 50 years of rich history without citizen involvement!

Fact: The Black Diamond City Council did not advocate or attempt to change the form of government. The public advocated for this position and if there is any change in the form of government it will be because the citizens of Black Diamond voted for it.

How long term care insurance can be a benefit care very young, and live in that setting for another 10, 15, 20 years. 20 years of care at $7,000 a month for Alzheimer’s care equals 1.68 million dollars.

That is a significant amount of money!

Thankfully, there are ways to protect your assets from this quick and drastic spend down. Long Term Care (LTC) Insurance is one of the most common and effective methods.

LTC Insurance is health coverage that pays for senior care such as skilled nursing, home health, assisted living, respite, and

hospice care. Each LTC policy is unique, which is why it is so important to fully understand your specific policy.

LTC Policies will have several main components, each one affecting both the cost and usefulness. These are all phrases and terms you should familiarize yourself with.

The policy will begin paying out for care as soon as the “Benefit Triggers� are reached. These triggers are different for every policy, but typically cover activities of daily living (ADL’s).

ADL’s are things like bathing, dressing, eating, etc. Once a resident can no longer do one or more of

these things on their own they may become eligible to receive LTC Insurance benefits.

Although the resident is now eligible, LTC benefits do not always immediately kick in. The elimination period must first be exhausted. Think of the elimination period like a deductible, except instead of a dollar threshold it is a time threshold. This period ranges from 0-180 days and during this initial period the resident or family will be required to pay for the care out of pocket.

Once the elimination period is over, the question remains, how much will LTC Insurance pay out.

Each policy will pay either a daily or monthly maximum benefit. The average daily payout in the state of Washington is $160.

At this point the LTC benefits are flowing freely, but this does not mean it will be an everlasting stream. Most LTC policies will have a maximum benefit amount or period of time. There are some unlimited benefit policies out there still, but it is not typical. The average length of benefit coverage in Washington State is 4.8 years.

LTC Insurance is paid for by premiums, usually monthly payments, but there are lump sum policies

10,000 (Black Diamond has a population of 4,160).

Ninety percent of Washington cities with a population of less than 5,000 have a mayor-council form of government.

Fact: The City of Black Diamond and the former Council recently passed approval of MPD permits that will have the City of Black Diamond grow rapidly to approximately 25,000

people. Black Diamond needs a professional, skilled manager immediately.

Statement: In Black Diamond, we want to vote for our mayor. We want the mayor to be directly responsible to the voters.

Fact: If the voters want the government to be directly accountable to them than a Council-Manager is the form of government they would want. I encourage you to look at the organizational chart of Maple Valley (Citizens City Manager City Council). In the city of Black Diamond organizational chart, the

citizens are not listed and the mayor is not required to open the doors and listen.

The mayor and administration are politically driven and separate from the Council elected by the people.

Statement: We must speak up and let this Council know that a special election is an expense we don’t want to bear. The pros and cons can be evaluated over the next year and after all implications are known we can proceed, knowing we are knowledgeable of what the change means to the city.

Fact: The cost of the election was considered by the citizens; in-fact the original delay was to allow a less expensive ballot measure and although called a special election, it is not nearly as costly as the special election held for the safety levy. If one is concerned about the city’s budget, one should be more concerned about the incredibly high salaries of the city’s staff which range about 150 percent of the salary of staff personnel in other similar sized cities.

Statement: Your voice matters. Even if you are not a resident of Black

due to the substantially higher property values, the residents of Lake Sawyer actually pay substantially more in direct property taxes to the City of Black Diamond than do homeowners in other areas of the City.

COMMENTARY

It’s a sad reality in senior living that the cost of long term care all too often depletes the entirety of a resident’s lifetime savings. The money they have worked their entire life to save, to set aside for future generations, is gone in a few years. The average daily cost of a nursing home in the state of Washington is $244 a day, about $7320 a month. The cost of assisted living improves slightly, with average monthly rates of $3,251.

In the cases of early onset diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and dementia, a resident can come in to assisted

Diamond, you are directly connected to what happens here – Black Diamond needs your voice!

Response: If I could have one nit to pick it would be online comments by one of the authors of this letter complaining that Council didn’t listen to the people who actually live in Black Diamond. I guess the invite for all to come wasn’t sincere. A change in government for the people by the people is a giant step in the right direction.

that go so far as accepting one large upfront payment to qualify the recipient for future benefits. And while most policies do not require you to pay premiums once the benefits start, there are still some that do. Avoid these policies.

As a general rule, the older you are when you purchase the LTC policy, the more expensive your monthly premiums will be.

In addition, the premium amount will take into account your current health condition and the policy payout guidelines. Here’s a breakdown by age group for average monthly premium amounts from 2008: Under

Hemorrhoids, sometimes called piles, happen when the veins in the anus and the lower rectum become inflamed and swell up. Hemorrhoids can happen for quite a few reasons. They commonly occur when people strain too much during bowel movements or from the pressure on these veins during the course of pregnancy. Sometimes hemorrhoids are inside the rectum, known as internal hemorrhoids, and sometimes they develop underneath the skin around the anus, called external hemorrhoids.

Itchy, uncomfortable, and sometimes bloody, these very common ailments afflict around half of all adults by the time they reach the age of 50. There are many effective treatments available including medical excision, home treatments, and making changes to lifestyle.

Over-the-counter hemorrhoid creams containing a local anesthetic can temporarily soothe pain. Creams and suppositories containing hydrocortisone are also effective, but don’t use them for more than a week at a time, as they can cause the skin to atrophy.

How to find inspiration for your garden around the world

INSPIRATION FROM RUSSIA: GRAND VISTAS AND CLIPPED YEWS You may not have the expansive estate and army of gardeners that Peter the

Great enjoyed in his gardens but you can add a bit of Russian grandeur to your home landscape by choosing the same plant material as the great Tsars.

Long, cold winters did not stop the royalty from turning St. Petersburg into one of the most magnificent cities of Europe.

Use yews as upright evergreens in your own garden and you won’t have to worry about deer, winds, drought or freezing winter temperatures. The English Yew (Taxus baccata) comes in many varieties some with new foliage that is a golden yellow (look for the variety ’Aurea’) and a column shaped yew (‘Fastigiata’) that both do well here in Western Washington.

Yews can tolerate full shade and wet winter soil.

Create your own grand garden vista by framing a mountain, sea or woodland view. Just place a yew on eiMarianne Binetti

The Compleat Home Gardener

If you’ve been traveling this summer be sure to take note of great garden ideas from around the world. We’ve just returned from visiting great gardens in Russia, Sweden, Denmark and other parts of the Baltic. This northern European tour was so inspirational that at one point our group of travel-happy gardeners just broke out into song. Keep reading to find out why there was some happy but rotten singing in Denmark.

The plant material and garden designs of Northern Europe are easy to adapt to Western Washington as the cool summers and long days make gardening in the north a celebration of long days but short summers — just like at home.

Community Note The 29th Annual National Night Out event will be at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Neighborhood coordinators throughout Maple Valley will send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and working together in order to watch out for each other and address any crime and disorder.

ther side of the scene - like columns framing a piece of great art. Speaking of art, if you ever get a chance to visit St. Petersburg’s Hermitage museum — well, there’s a reason it is called the eighth wonder of the world.

INSPIRATION FROM SWEDEN: LINNAEUS AND THE TWIN FLOWER Carl Linnaeus was Sweden’s native son and the genius that came up with the binomial system for naming plants and animals that we still use today. His home and garden is a beautiful example of a living museum with his favorite plant and namesake ‘Linnaea borealis’ or the twin flower still blooming in early summer.

Western Washington gardeners are lucky that this woodland ground cover plant is native to our region.

The secret to getting the double-flowering, delicate blooms to spread under rhodies and vine maples is to mulch the top of the plants with leaf mold each autumn. Swedish gardeners

also enjoy fuchsias, ferns and hydrangeas in their beautiful country gardens because these are the plants that do best when there is a lack of summer heat.

Do try this at home.

INSPIRATION FROM ICELAND: DIANTHUS AND DAISIES What a wonderful surprise awaited us in Reykjavik, Iceland. The “white nights of summer� mean endless daylight and planters filled with fragrant but cold-hardy dianthus and snow white daisies.

From the thermal pools of the blue lagoon to the modern vibe of the vibrant downtown, Iceland is the new hot spot of adventureseekers. Friend me on Facebook is you want to see photos of Icelandic trees wearing knitted scarves and a church that looks like a rocket ship.

INSPIRATION FROM DENMARK: TIVOLI GARDENS AND IT’S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL If you’ve ever enjoyed

Sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW), NNO is the once a year event where over 37 million people in approximately 15,325 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities and military bases around the world will be participating.

Along with the traditional display of outdoor lights and front porch vigils, neighborhoods in Maple Valley, residents will celebrate NNO with a variety of events and activities such as block parties, cookouts, visits from local police, council

Disneyland, you need to thank the Danish. Walt Disney was so inspired by Copenhagen’s Tivoli Gardens that he flew home from Denmark and designed his famous theme park with Tivoli as his guide.

This amusement park includes beautiful flower and water gardens and at night, only old-fashioned, incandescent bulbs are still used today to avoid a neon glow. Tivoli has the look of a fairy tale kingdom because after all it was Hans Christian Anderson who wrote his famous tales from Denmark — long before Disney turned them into movies.

Americans visiting Tivoli gardens will recognize the well-lit façade of an Indiainspired temple - the back drop for Walt Disney’s first ride “It’s a Small Worldâ€? in a nod to Tivoli. It was standing in front of this building that our group of travelers broke out into song.

This was to the delight of the Europeans who at first thought we must be another street act paid to perform at the park. We really could

have passed as professionals had we all been able to carry a tune and remember the words. That did not stop us from singing the song twice and applauding ourselves. “It’s a Small World� should play in your head every time you travel - because gardens and traveling encourages us all to keep growing. t t t

Lake Wilderness Golf Course may break even This could be the year that the Lake Wilderness Golf Course breaks even.

Although it is forecasted to require a $44,000 subsidy from the city of Maple Valley, Finance Director Tony McCarthy stated that, given the right conditions, that subsidy might not be needed.

According to a financial report dated June 30, the golf course is forecasted to

[ GILLETTE from page 6] 30: $134; 30-39: $245; 40-49: $476; 50-59: $837; 60-64: $1278; 65+: $1928.

These policies can get expensive very quickly which is why it’s important to remember that purchasing a LTC policy is not the right financial move for everyone. There are worksheets available to help you make this decision. Ask your insurance provider for one when you begin talking about LTC Insurance. You can also contact the Washington State Office of the Insurance Commissioner (www.insurance.wa.gov or

bring in 89 percent of its estimated revenue and spend 93 percent of its estimated expenditures.

Yet McCarthy said in the month since then the forecast, particularly in the past two weeks, has seen improvement. He added the city might not spend money that is included in the estimations. “The big part of next year’s budget is we were supposed to buy some new mowers,� he said. “I don’t know when we get around

to doing the budget whether we buy them or not. The mowers are breaking down all the time.�

Even if the golf course ultimately required a $44,000 subsidy from the city, it’s less than the $91,000 subsidy it needed last year, which was a 285 percent decrease from 2010 when it cost the city $228,000.

McCarthy stated that the biggest improvement with the golf course’s financial situation has been better handling of the restaurant

operations. “We’ve made some improvements there,�

McCarthy said. “They’ve been able to at least on the restaurant and on the whole keep minimizing expenses.

Basically they decreased the number of hours in the restaurant and fewer people in the restaurant. We still have a good chance (of breaking even). If we have a good weather month, then it could end up being a positive number and we don’t have to transfer any

call their toll free advice line 1-800-562-6900).

The part that can get frustrating for policy purchasers is the initial health condition assessment. These are done by telephone interview, on-site visits, and/or in consultation with your primary care physician.

I spoke to one Auburn resident who applied for policies for both himself and his wife. His wife was easily approved, however he was rejected based solely on a phone interview. Even after a written letter from his physician the insurance company would not

reconsider.

Now, many years later, his wife has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and he is still fit and extremely active, including mountain biking and skiing, with no health needs even looming. In his words, “Now I’m determined to beat them at their game by not needing it [LTC Insurance].�

There are a few other common pitfalls to watch out for.

While many LTC policies do cover assisted living, some do not kick in until skilled nursing care is needed. In addition, even with a skilled nursing stay,

some policies do not allow Medicare covered days to count towards the elimination period, meaning you will have Medicare co-insurance to pay during that stay, which can be as long as 100 days.

In addition to the WA Office of the Insurance Commissioner, you can find great resources through the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (www.naic.org), Washington State Health Insurance Assistance Programs (1-800-397-4422), and the Aging & Disability Services Administration (www.aasa.dshs.wa.gov).

money.�

City Manager David Johnston said that cutting down on restaurant operations, plus good weather, has enabled the golf course to reach where it is. “We’ve cut down the food and beverage,â€? he said. “You need to have some food and beverage to support golfing‌but we don’t have the same (food and beverage) model when I got here in (20)09 when it was full bar, full restaurant. But it still costs money and we’ve been

having good golfing activity. In May we had wonderful weekends. July has been just great.�

Johnston echoed McCarthy’s theory that good weather equals higher revenues from the course.

He added, however, that the building for the restaurant will need to be repaired at some point, which may require the city to dip into the general fund to pay for that.

L

ike many professional drivers in the National Hot Rod Association, Steve Torrence, pilot of the Capco top fuel dragster grew up at the drag strip.

Unlike other drivers he has experienced tragedy that both propelled his career forward and brought it to a halt.

An accident which killed a driver led to an incredible

run for Torrence in 2005 after a battle with cancer in 2000 put him on the sidelines. “That was probably the biggest victory of all (beating cancer),� Torrence said. “That was way bigger than any Wally I’ve ever won. It’s been a life changing experience.�

Yet Torrence has overcome that as well as all of the obstacles it takes to put together a race team and has come screaming out

the gate this season, going to four finals and coming away with two event wins while coming into the 25th annual O’Reilly Auto Parts Northwest Nationals at Pacific Raceways in fourth place in the top fuel class. “We started 2012 just with the hopes of being somewhat competitive,�

Torrence said. “I don’t think we could’ve plotted it out any better than that.�

All this after racing just three full seasons since

starting in top fuel in 2006.

His father, Billy, raced sportsman from the time Torrence was 6 years old.

Before he got behind the wheel of a super comp car at the age of 15, Torrence had raced motorcycles but had bypassed the more typical entry into drag racing, the Junior Dragster series.

In 2004, Torrence went to Frank Hawley’s driving school to earn his alcohol dragster license, then in

April 2005 tragedy struck another family. “Shelly Howard was killed in an accident,� Torrence said. “I was called by her husband and crew chief to see if I wanted her seat. I went in and fit in well with the team. We started racing in June and I had never driven anything other than what I had gotten my license in.�

Torrence drove in 13 races in the alcohol dragster

Maple Valley racer hopes to win on his birthday

BY KRIS HILL khill@maplevalleyreporter.com

Jim Mabry hopes to bring home a Wally on his 61st birthday.

Mabry, who lives in Maple Valley, will be racing in two sportsman classes at the O’Reilly Auto Parts Northwest Nationals this weekend and the elimination rounds are on Sunday which happens to be his birthday.

This year Mabry will run in Super Street and Super Comp. He knows a little something about winning on his birthday because he did it at Pacific Raceways when he turned 45 in 1996. That is the only national event win he has scored since he started racing in 1975.

Well, he actually was street racing in the 1960s as a teen in Maple Valley, but the conditions became unfavorable. “After I got out of the service the fines (for street racing) were heavier than they used to be, so, I quit doing that and began bracket racing,� Mabry said.

Mabry has raced all over the West Coast in his Super Comp dragster from Mission in British Columbia to Firebird in Phoenix, Ariz., to Woodburn which is about a half an hour outside of Portland, Oregon.

He’s been racing the dragster for six or seven years, but doesn’t travel as much now because it’s gotten fairly expensive, especially to take two cars, not to mention gas, food,

previously driven by Howard. He made it to 11 finals and won nine of them en route to the NHRA Top Alcohol crown. “If you don’t believe in God that season would at least make you believe in miracles,� Torrence said.

In 2006 Torrence got the chance to move into the pro ranks when he drove Dexter Tuttle’s top fuel dragster. “It was a pretty big transition, but, not really as great as going from sportsman to alcohol,� Torrence said. “The quickest and fastest I had ever run in an alcohol car was when I went 5.20 at 227 mph. It’s a pretty drastic jump to say the least. When these things take off you thought you were going pretty fast in an alcohol car, it keeps going as hard as you left if not harder.�

try to maintain consistency and solidify ourselves as a championship contending team.�

Heading into the Northwest Nationals, the final stop on the three-race Western Swing, Torrence said he is confident in Hogan’s ability to tune the car for whatever the weather conditions are be they 100 degree temperatures or 75 and cloudy. “I feel like right now we’re in a pretty safe position, knock on wood, unless something catastrophic happens we’ll still be in fourth (after the swing),� Torrence said. “We have some opportunities to gain some ground and move into third. We’re capable of running in these conditions as well as 100 degree conditions. “As for me, I just keep doing my job, practice on the tree and continue to be the machine and flawless.�

years,� Mabry said. “This year they’ve really done a turnaround. Their attitude toward the racers are we’re welcome.

They treat you nicely, like they appreciate your business.�

Having a nice atmosphere at the home track will make it even more fun over the next month because the national event this weekend is just the start of a series of races which culminate with the Division 6 run off later in August.

This weekend is a points series race, followed by a division race next weekend, followed by the division run off, Mabry explained. “I am hoping to get enough points to get invited to race in the Super Pro class,� Mabry said. “The division run off is held at Pacific this year and it’s been seven years since it’s been here. It’s always best to run at your home track. We have a little bit of an advantage.�

And while the soon-to-be birthday boy doesn’t think he’ll win both the Super Comp and Super Street classes this weekend, calling it “a pipe dream,� he looks forward to the opportunity to win the event and bring home an event trophy, known as a Wally, on Sunday. “I’m just trying to duplicate the Super Street deal again and see if I can win it on my 61st birthday,� he said. “I can’t quit racing now because I can’t postpone it and pick it up again because it’s hard to be competitive against the young group that’s out there now.�

and all the other costs of racing.

In addition to the dragster he’ll be driving a Vega station wagon in the Super Street category.

At one point, Mabry lived in Arizona for about seven years, and a good friend whom he met in Phoenix told him that if he ran both cars this weekend he’d fly out from Chicago where he lives now and help out. “It’s a lot of work to run two cars,� Mabry said. “There’s quite a few people I know that do it and it takes a heck of a lot of energy which is a lot more than a 60-some-year-old person has anymore.�

His friend Jerry, who is flying in for the race, isn’t his only supporter. Jim Kimmer of Black Diamond Automotive is his biggest advocate and Mabry said he can also count on Kevin Renick, who lives near Covington, as well as Howard Esteng. His girlfriend, Lynn Keith, is helpful, too, by making sure he’s got plenty of food and a full cooler before he heads out to the track.

This year Mabry has primarily been bracket racing at Pacific Raceways, which is just five minutes west of downtown Covington, but also made a trip to Phoenix to run two divisional races that weekend in order to have enough points to run the Northwest Nationals this weekend.

He’s enjoyed racing at Pacific this year, in particular. “Actually, the people have been pretty good over the

When I got home my husband was still at work, my youngest daughter was babysitting, and my other daughter was still in Japan.

So I decided I would put the cookies in our large freezer and save them for when we went camping next weekend.

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.

distracted on the way. I’m assuming she wouldn’t based on the results from the other two people living in my house.

My husband can’t find anything I send him for either, yet he can see a vintage car hidden in the forest a mile away. Maybe it calls out to him like those cookies called out to my daughter?

Most often when I ask a family member to look for something for me, it is not hidden away. It’s usually in plain sight. The key is they must actually listen to my directions, watch where I’m pointing my finger, and remember what they are looking for. Plus, if it’s not for them, they are less likely to find it.

But before you think the cookie incident has made me lose my touch for hiding things, don’t worry. When I need to hide things, I can hide things.

I’ve come home to find my family tearing apart my bedroom looking for my chocolate stash. When I attempted to hide those cookies, the heat of the summer day and the rush to make lunch on time probably addled my brain.

Next time I attempt to hide a package of cookies, I should probably put them near the cleaning supplies.

I’m pretty sure no one would go looking there.

tioned to my daughter I had meant to hide the cookies in the freezer and how I must’ve forgotten. She said, “No, I found them in the freezer.�

It was rather odd how my daughter seemed to know there were cookies in the freezer. She never looks in the freezer for anything unless she knows there is some sort of treat in there.

Upon further questioning, she told me she knew I went shopping and she was hoping for ice cream.

I still find it rather remarkable she found the cookies within minutes of walking in the front door, because it would have required she bend over at the waist to see them behind the roast. This is one of those people whom I share my home with that can’t seem to find anything when sent looking. Yet she somehow knew there was something sweet to eat in the freezer. Maybe cookies really can call your name?

She is not the only one of the people I share my home with who can’t locate items.

My oldest daughter may be able to find the things I send her for if only she could remember what it was she went looking for, where I said it would be, and how important it was that she find it.

So I really have no frame of reference on whether she would be good at finding things if she didn’t get

Then I went off and met a friend for lunch.

I told my daughter to text me when she got home because she was walking home alone.

So I get the “I’m home� text, followed a minute later by a “Can I have a cookie?� text.

When I’m out with people I try not to pay attention to my phone, but since I had warned my friend my daughter would be texting me, she didn’t think twice when I sent my daughter a quick reply: “Yes, you can have a cookie.�

My daughter didn’t keep texting me, nor I her, but the whole scenario distracted me. I was contemplating those cookies; thinking I must have forgotten to put them in the freezer as I intended. But I could have sworn I put them in the freezer, because I remember putting them behind the roast where no one would find them since no one goes looking for frozen meat products besides me.

I shook off my bafflement so I could reengage in my lunch visit. I was not going to admit to my friend I was distracted by a package of cookies.
