The first provisions of Initiative 502, the measure legalizing marijuana for recreational use at the state level, will go into place Dec. 6, pending election certification later this month. On that date, up to one ounce of usable marijuana will be decriminalized and the Driving Under the Influence of Drugs mandate will go into place.

Marijuana-friendly critics of the law, such as Anthony Martinelli of legalization group Sensible Washington, have expressed concern that the per se TetraHydroCannabinol limit—5 nanograms per milliliter of whole blood— will result in unintoxicated citizens being arrested and convicted for driving under the influence.

Powers officially named city’s top cop

fter a year as interim chief, Dana Powers on Tuesday officially took the oath of office as Bonney Lake’s top cop.

Powers, 47, is a Bonney Lake native who has been with the department since 1992 and served as the assistant chief under former chief Mike Mitchell. She is

the sixth person to hold the office and the first woman to lead the department.

Powers was originally named to the position in October 2011 on an interim basis, though Mayor Neil Johnson said at the time he planned to name Powers the next chief at the year’s end.

There was a slight delay in naming Powers to the permanent position while

“I am excited and honored to continue in this role and I will continue to do my best to bring out the best in this department,” she said.

“Here is someone who has worked hard and learned from the best like Chief Bryan Jeter and Chief Mitchell,” Johnson said Wednesday. “It is definitely her time to bring her style to the Chief’s office and the city of Bonney Lake is very lucky to have her as their chief.”

During her time with Bonney Lake, Powers helped start the city’s Marine Services Unit, served as the city’s DARE officer in the 1990s and was part of the first Special Response Team, which eventually became part of Pierce County Metro SWAT, before working her

the council debated and ultimately passed a resolution providing civil service protections to police leadership that is promoted from within the department.

But on Tuesday, in a short ceremony during the city council’s regular meeting, Powers was sworn in in front of a cheering crowd of friends, family, members of the department, former chiefs and a fellow police chief from a local city.

“It feels good that it is official as it will bring stability and a known to our department,” Powers said Wednesday in an email.

“It’s always the unknown that makes people uneasy or worried in any aspect of life.

“I have seen this community grow from a very sparse city to one that is functional and for years touted as the fastest growing city in the state,” she said. “Again, I’m honored to be the 6th police chief here in Bonney Lake because I care about this city and the reputation our department has within the community.”

Powers said her interim year had both challenges and great moments, citing programs like Shop With a Cop, the Chief For a Day and the Plunge Against Domestic Violence as highlights as highlights while noting the murder of Mary Mushapaidzi, an officerinvolved shooting and this past winter’s storm as challenges.

But Powers said the best part of her job is meeting citizens.

“My favorite part of being the Chief is hearing from people in our community,” she said. “Our community is very supportive of their police department and I continually hear how professional our officers are as well as what a great job they do.”

Powers said it was “pretty cool” to be the chief of the town where she grew up and said she hopes to continue the good work the department has done.

“I want to make sure we continue to partner with other police departments, school districts, city departments as well as with our citizens as they are the eyes and ears when things go wrong,” she said.

A Very Goodwill Christmas The holidays are an expensive time of year. On average, Americans spend $700 on purchases such as gifts, meals, decorations and postage.

For many, one way to stretch their holiday dollar is to shop at Goodwill and Goodwill’s Christmas Shoppes.

time, Tacoma Goodwill will operate a stand-alone Christmas Shoppe in Bonney Lake, dedicated exclusively to the sale of holiday treasures. The store is stocked daily with new merchandise.

Work began last week at the intersection of state Route 410, Main Street and Sky Island Drive, part of the mitigation efforts for the construction of the new Franciscan Medical Building.

Drivers in the city’s downtown section should expect to be affected by a five-day closure of Main Street this week and next due to the project.

The work includes widening Main Street and Sky Island Drive to provide dual left-turn lanes on to SR410.

The north side of 410 will also be widened east of Main Street to provide a 5-foot wide shoulder and sidewalk, which, along with retaining walls, will be added to the north side of the highway, down to the first guardrails.

New street lights will be added to SR410, Main Street and Sky Island Drive. The project also includes utility conversion from overhead to underground utilities.

The $1.56 million project is funded through traffic impact fees and a one-time, lump-sum payment of $1 million from Franciscan, as negotiated with the city during their permit process.

The winning bid, from ICON Materials, came in 3 percent below the engineer’s estimate.

Work began Nov. 13 with PSE starting things off by moving their gas lines, which conflicts with the location of the future sewer main.

According to a schedule on the city’s website, posted Oct. 31, work on the relocating the sewer main is scheduled to begin today, Nov. 21. Once work begins, the city expects Main Street to be closed for five days as the work is completed, though access to the two apartment buildings and day care center will be provided.

Work is also scheduled to begin this week or early next on the construction of four retaining walls in the area, which is expected to continue through March. The digging of the utility trench, expected to take 30 days, also begins next week.

Construction on the project, which will include a new traffic signal at the intersection, will continue through the winter with an estimated completion date in May 2013 and will include lane closures at some point.

According to Public Works Director Dan Grigsby, when the contractor is ready to close the lanes on SR410, Main Street or Sky Island Drive, the city will publish the information to provide drivers with a warning.

Area residents should beware of a potential phone scam making a resurgence. A woman living near Bonney Lake almost fell victim to the “grandparent scam” earlier this week.

Under “the Grandparent Scam,” named by the FBI after its most common targets, a scammer posing as a grandchild or other relative will call a target and claim to be trapped abroad and in trouble—usually an arrest or robbery. They will claim to need money wired fast and quietly to get out of their predicament.

Jo Haberkorn was at home when she received just such a call.

The caller, true to the formula, answered, “Grandma?”

Coincidentally, the person sounded exactly like Haberkorn’s nephew.

“I don’t think I would have fallen for it if he didn’t sound exactly like him,” Haberkorn said. “He did say ‘Grandma’ at first, which was definitely odd.

But because he sounded like (my nephew) Jaime, I said, ‘No, it’s Auntie Jo.’” “Jaime” told Haberkorn he had been in an accident in Peru and needed $3,000 wired in. Because of Peruvian transfer laws, he claimed, the money would need to be sent in $1,000 increments to three people: himself, “Nicole Chester,” and “Sandra Anderson.”

Haberkorn agreed, and she had the money in hand and ready to go to Western Union before a relative urged her to wait and confirm her nephew’s whereabouts.

A few phone calls later, Haberkorn found out that not only wasn’t Jamie in Peru, he was putting in his

normal shift at work.

The family arranged a trick to find out just how much personal information this stranger had.

Haberkorn had “Jaime” call the real Jaime under the pretense of verifying personal information for the cash wire. The findings were disturbing: Jaime confirmed that the impersonator’s voice was “like listening to a recording,” Haberkorn said. And he apparently had access to personal information, including Jaime’s full name, birthday and Social Security number.

Haberkorn and her family broke contact, screening subsequent calls from unknown persons, and got ahold of the Pierce County Sheriff ’s office, then the Attorney General’s fraud division, and the FBI. “Both (the Attorney General’s office and the FBI contacts) told us there wasn’t a whole lot they could do because the money would have been leaving the country,” Haberkorn said.

There were a few more oddities to the case.

First, in addition to asking Haberkorn to send her money to three different names, “Jaime” asked her to send it from three different people. Haberkorn suspects the scammer was fishing for future victims to target or impersonate, she said.

Second, the alleged scammer gave Haberkorn a Main Street address in Lima, Peru, and there is no Main Street in Lima (the closest equivalent is a small road named Rio Main: translated from Portuguese, it means “Main River”).

Third, and perhaps most strangely, “Jaime” didn’t show up on Caller ID; not even as a blocked number.

There’s no evidence of the man’s calls in Haberkorn’s phone log, she said.

“I just want people to know about what happened so they don’t become victims like I almost did,” she said.

State champs!

Sumner girls soccer team caps perfect season with 2A state championship

By Brian Beckley Staff Writer

The Sumner High School Spartans girls soccer team capped off a perfect season Saturday with a 1-0 victory over Sehome to hoist the trophy as 2A state champions.

Katie Huff scored the game’s only goal in the 35th minute, off an assist from Kaylie Rozell. It was all goalie Jamie Lange needed as the Spartans remained undefeated for the season.

Sumner advanced to the championship game with a 4-3 shootout victory Friday against Squalicum after the teams played to a 0-0 finish in regulation.

Rozell, Alyssa Murray, Brooke Lamcaster and Kelsie Coleman picked up the shootout goals for Sumner on Friday.

The Spartans finished the year 21-0 and most games were not even close. From an opening day 9-0 win over Decatur, the Spartans were off and running, allowing only two goals against all season.

Many games throughout the championship season were blowouts, with the Spartans scoring at least 9 goals on their opponents a total of nine times and racking up double-digit totals in four games.

Rozell led the Spartans this season in goals and assists with 31 and 15, respectively. Ellie Degoede and Lancaster each finished with 18 goals. Huff, who picked up the winning goal in the championship game, finished the years with 12 goals, followed

by Sarah Carter at 11 and Murray at 10.

on a 23-yard touchdown run from senior Lokahi Kamau, followed by a Michael Smith kick for the point after.

But the rest of the game belonged to the defending 2A champion Lions, who did all of their scoring in the first half as the Spartans had no answer for Lynden quarterback Josh Kraught, who threw four touchdown passes in the victory.

The Spartans finished the year 9-3 overall with a 6-1 record in the South Puget Sound League 2A.

The space age, revisited

I

have always been fascinated by space. As a kid growing up, and still now, I was a big fan of science fiction, especially anything in space: Star Trek, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers.

You name it, I probably watched it.

But along with those, I was a big fan of NASA and the space program and like many kids, I too at some point wanted to be an astronaut when I grew up.

When I was 6, Brian Beckley on a trip to visit Staff Writer family in Florida, I was lucky enough to be able to see the fourth-ever launch of the Space Shuttle Columbia, live from Cape Canaveral.

It was STS-4, the final research and development launch of the shuttle program, back even before they painted the external fuel tank the familiar orange that it wore through most of the Shuttle program.

Because I was so young, my memories of the event are not as clear as I’d like them to be, but I certainly remember the excitement of the countdown and then the flash of orange and huge billowing clouds of smoke before the oribiter began to rise, slowly at first and then rapidly gaining speed as it turned into a flickering speck in the

To understand elections, framing matters What political strategy did President Obama use to win re-election?

In order to win big stakes elections in America, it’s necessary to frame your opponent in an unfavorable light. Your opponent tries to do the same thing to you. Whoever is more successful in framing their opponent will win the election.

Of course, there are other factors like having enough money to do that.

While it should be obvious to all after this election that money can’t always buy enough votes to win, without money a candidate can’t get his/her message out to the public.

President Obama was very effective in framing Gov. Romney as an elitist rich guy who had no understanding or concern for the poor and middle class. The governor had to also overcome his 47 percent of the population paying-no-taxes remark, which made it even more difficult. Obama portrayed Romney as another George W. Bush. These were very effective techniques, whether they were accurate or not.

Additionally, Obama was masterful in pointing out how Romney said one thing to win the conservative base during the Republican primaries and

Politics in Focus Rich Elfers Columnist

then had to switch over to win the moderates and independents in the general election.

Obama did not have that problem because there was no real Democratic primary. He portrayed Romney as a flip-flopper – a framing label that Republicans usually use against Democrats.

The attempts by the Republicans to portray Obama as a socialist taxand-spend radical who got us into this recession was not as effective because most people knew Obama inherited an $8 trillion financial mess when he took office. Based on the results of the election they were willing to cut him some slack and give him another term.

America is really center-right politically. The candidate who can suc-

cessfully focus on that demographic will win the national election. Obama spent his whole time focusing on that group. Romney really was never able to until the first debate.

In the presidential election, facts don’t matter much except to the political junkies who know the truth.

What wins elections is how effectively the candidate frames himself and his opponent. Whoever is more effective in doing that will win.

The lesson we citizens should get from these elections is that we need to look behind the framing to understand who the candidates really are.

That requires a willingness to ignore the negative political ads and to look more deeply for the things that really matter. Does that candidate have integrity? Does he have the skills and experience? Can she be trusted to do the job? Does that candidate really care about the citizens or is this really an attempt to aggrandize and serve themselves? Usually, candidates are both concerned about the public and also want to serve themselves.

These questions are not easy to answer. They require political sophis-

The FFT sits in the new Charles Simonyi Space Gallery, named for a former Microsoft developer who donated not only money, but an actual Russian Soyuz Capsule he rode into space and back as a “space tourist.” It sits in the back of the gallery, part of the “After the Space Shuttle” exhibit that accompanies the FFT. The public is welcome to walk up to the orbiter, as well as through the payload section. There is even a landing simulator to give you an idea of how fast the Shuttle comes in and how precise you have to be to hit a runway extra security due to the anniversary of 9/11 approaching. This request was denied by the Obama administration.

Fast forward to Sept. 11. A group of Islamic terrorists launch an attack on our embassy in Libya. After several hours of attack, Ambassador Stevens and three other Americans are dead.

The Obama Administration quickly came out with the talking point that this was a spontaneous

from space. (For the record, I nailed it on the “novice” setting, which was admittedly very, very simple as the simulation handled some of the controls for me…)

But for me, the most interesting part was the chance to climb through the small, round airlock underneath the windows and see inside the space shuttle firsthand.

Here’s what I learned: it’s tiny inside.

Like, really, really small.

The majority of the Orbiter is the 61-foot payload bay. The crew compartment, which routinely housed up to seven astronauts for more than a week at a time, is actually only about 165 square feet of space.

There is 100 square feet in the middeck, which contains the storage areas, sleeping bags and the galley (a small rectangular box built into the side of the orbiter).

Up a short ladder is the flight deck, which contains an additional 65-square-feet of space.

Museum officials led four reporters into the mid-deck at a time and only two-at-a-time could climb up to the flight deck.

And it was cramped at best. I can’t imagine what it must have been like to share that amount of space with six other people for two weeks. There must have been a huge sigh of relief from the astronauts when the International Space Station opened and they had a chance to stretch out a bit in its comparatively roomy environs.

Even more surprising though was that the Soyuz capsule - which the Russians have been using for 40 years and is still in use today as the only way to get astronauts and cosmonauts to and from the ISS - is even smaller. It is about the size of a compact sedan and

An educated electorate serves democracy better than voters who are ignorant about the use of framing.

It’s time for all Americans to become discerning voters.

I received this question just as our food bank manager was heading out to purchase special items for our Thanksgiving food bank.

It is not unusual for events to be perfectly timed around here – perhaps divinely timed.

The caller said her family had been fortunate this year and would like to help another family with Thanksgiving or Christmas. This generous donor purchased half of all we needed and came to help prepare for food bank that evening with her children.

At one point in their own lives, she recalled, they made regular visits to their local food bank to make ends meet.

Now they are able to give back. Their story is not unlike other stories we hear.

Early one morning our services were not yet open and a man came into Plateau Outreach Ministries. He was a little unkempt, a little nervous. I asked if he needed help. He said “No” and nothing more. He was peering around like he was looking for something specific.

Again I asked, “Is there something we can do to help you today.”

Again he said, “No, you already helped me. You helped me awhile back.”

He paused and didn’t say much. “I just needed a little help getting on my feet. I wasn’t working and was making some bad choices.

You really helped me turn my life around. I have a job now and am living right. I was wondering if I could make a little donation.”

Florida sky, trailed by long vapor trail.

We all watched through our binoculars as the ship disappeared and the solid rocket boosters fell back to Earth. (according to Wikipedia, the boosters on that flight were lost because their parachutes failed to open and they hit the ocean hard and sank. I must admit, I don’t remember that, though I also don’t remember seeing the chutes open, now that I think back…)

The launch was the highlight of the trip and one of the highlights of my young life. I still have the (tiny) T-shirt I got as a souvenir. Now I look at it as a collector’s item, but through my childhood, it was easily my favorite shirt and I wore the heck out of that thing.

I, of course, did not become an astronaut when I grew up - though some would argue that I am still something of a space case. But my fascination with the Shuttle program and with space and NASA in general never left. I always followed as many of the missions as I could through the newspapers and television as a kid and as an adult, I watched on the internet as many of them as I could, never ceasing to be amazed at the science and math and sheer force of will it takes to put a man into orbit.

The Shuttle was mothballed in 2011, after nearly 30 years of mostly successful flights. I could not have disagreed more with the decision by the Bush and Obama Administrations to end the program, essentially taking the United States out of the space race for the first time since, well, it began.

But on a high note, the surviving Space Shuttles, after they were decommissioned, were set to be donated to museums around the country to allow us, the citizens, to see these engineering marvels in person.

There was much ballyhoo when it was announced Los Angeles and New York, along with the Johnson Space Center in Houston and the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C., would get orbiters, but not the Museum of Flight in south Seattle.

It made so much more sense logistically to bring a Shuttle to Seattle because of the museum’s proximity to Boeing Field (anyone who watched as they cut down hundreds of trees while they drove the Endeavor through the streets of Los Angeles will probably agree), but in the long run, it does make the most sense to have these historical artifacts (man, typing that made me feel old) in the nation’s two most populous cities.

But as a consolation prize, the Museum of Flight was awarded the Full

“We have been blessed this year! How can we help a family in need?”

He put a $100 bill in my hand.

I told him “thank you” and that it wasn’t just a “little” donation. He said there would be more coming.

He shared that he had been blessed with work. It always seems another job is waiting just as he was finishing one.

In fact he did come back a month or so later with another $100 dollar bill. He was so thankful for the help at a time when he didn’t know where to turn. We looked in his file to see what assistance he had received. We had helped him with a rent payment – two years ago!

There are other, similar stories. A young woman was in my office last week, so thankful for the assistance we had provided. She said, “I would like to pay you back. I don’t have much, but I could give you something.”

A man coming through food bank offered his trade services for work we might need on our remodel. The people we see are so grateful for the help we are able to offer at Plateau Outreach Ministries.

These examples prove that blessings multiply. When generous members of our community reach out to those struggling through a rough patch, often those helped turn around and give a hand up to others. By supporting our Neighbors In Need program, you can set this wonderful chain of events in motion. So many of you have done so much already. We are truly blessed!

Protect yourself from influenza Why should the flu matter to you? Influenza is an important public health problem.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year, the flu causes between 3,000 and 50,000 deaths nationally, depending on the severity of the season, it can cause approximately 200,000 hospitalizations and billions in medical costs and indirect costs such as lost wages.

But closer to home, there are some things you can do to prevent the flu or minimize its impact if you do get sick.

“The most important step a person can take to prevent the flu is to be vaccinated,” said Nigel Turner, Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department’s communicable disease division director.

“While we recommend that people get vaccinated as early as possible, you can get a flu shot throughout the season. This simple step not only protects you from the flu, but it helps to protect vulnerable people in our community such as infants, the elderly and immunecompromised individuals,” he said.

It is also important to get the flu shot annually. Each year, the formulation of the shot uses

The health department publishes an extensive calendar of free and low-cost vaccination clinic opportunities for children as well as links to providers of low-cost flu shot providers for adults on its web site at www. tpchd.org/flu. The department is also partnering with Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital Immunization Services to offer vaccination clinics in 14 elementary schools in Tacoma Public Schools.

Other steps you can take to reduce the spread of the influenza virus: · Wash your hands—Frequent and proper hand washing is one the most effective ways to reduce the spread of germs. Wash with soap and warm water, scrubbing all parts of your hands and wrists for at least 20 seconds, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water isn’t easily accessible. · If you’re sick, stay home—Viruses such as the flu spread quickly. Don’t share your germs with coworkers and classmates.

· Cover your cough—Use your elbow or a disposable tissue, not your hand, to cover your cough. · Keep it clean—Use sanitizing wipes or spray to clean counters, door knobs, telephone handsets, computer key boards and mice, and other surfaces that you frequently touch.

Health officials say that it’s impossible to predict the severity of any flu season, but the season usually begins in October and lasts through the end of April. In the Northwest, the flu typically begins to circulate in December and peak activity usually occurs between late January and March. Last year, flu activity did not peak until April.

While the flu isn’t a reportable disease as is pertussis, the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department monitors influenza activity through laboratory data, hospital emergency room and urgent care information, school absenteeism and other health surveillance methods.

Americans. In fact, the administration was watching live video of the attack. Yet, they kept up a lie for a week and a half despite evidence to the contrary.

Well, the question of “what did they know and when did they know it?,” has been answered.

Now that begs the question, why did Obama and his administration lie to the American people about this?

Why is Obama trying to cover up?

Hells bells, President Nixon was forced to resign because he lied about and covered up a third-rate burglary.

No one died when Nixon lied.

Four Americans died and Obama lied.

Four Americans died and Obama covers up.

even more cramped inside, with three small “beds” that require the cosmonauts to lay with their knees on their chests for both liftoff and landing.

Though, let’s be honest, I would spend the entire week in the fetal position if it meant I could go into space.

After all, to paraphrase John Young, the greatest American astronaut you’ve likely never heard of (he was a Gemini pilot who not only walked on the moon, but flew the very first Shuttle mission into Space), when you are going uphill you are not looking for comfort, you just want to get there.

Along with the artifacts, the exhibit contains a nice section on the future of space flight, which for now is left entirely to private industries in the United States.

I must admit, when the plan to turn supply runs and launches over to private industry was first announced by the Bush Administration - and then reiterated by the Obama Administration - I was opposed.

No way, I said. No way will private industry be able to do that. Space flight is too complicated and expensive. It needs to be a national program.

Well, turns out I was wrong.

This year, Space X completed the first and second successful supply runs to the ISS. And Space X is only one of several private industries - all of which are highlighted at the exhibit currently building spaceships, most with the idea of bringing civilians and tourists into orbit.

If the cost of such trips ever becomes reasonable (it cost Mr. Simonyi more than $20 million per trip to ride a Soyuz rocket into space), you can bet I will be in line with bags packed and eyes wide.

But until then, if you are like me, the Museum of Flight’s FFT exhibit might be the next best thing, or at least a taste of space to hold you over for a few more years...

Watergate was small potatoes compared to this presidential lie and cover up and Nixon was forced to resign.

In fact, during one of the debates, Obama acted like a puffed peacock and feigned indignation when Romney implied Obama’s administration was covering this incident up.

Now a little 3-month-old baby is fatherless and Obama still continues to lie, cover up, go to Vegas to collect campaign money, go on Letterman, go on The View, talk about Big Bird and talk about “Romnesia.”

The families and children of the victims deserve better. The American people deserve better than this.

Keeping weight off key to diabetes battle For The Courier-Herald

The two major forms of diabetes are Type 1, also known as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or juvenile-onset diabetes, and Type 2, also called noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or maturity-onset diabetes.

Both types share one feature: elevated blood sugar (glucose) levels due to absolute or relative insufficiencies of insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas. Insulin is a key regulator of the body’s metabolism.

In Type 1 diabetes, the pancreas does not produce insulin. Onset is usually in childhood or adolescence.

Type 1 diabetes is considered an autoimmune disorder.

Individuals with Type 1 diabetes need to take insulin.

Dietary control is very important. Treatment focuses on balancing insulin intake with food intake and energy expenditure from physical exertion.

Type 2 is the most common form of diabetes, accounting for 90 to 95 percent of cases. In Type 2, the body does not respond normally to insulin, a condition known as insulin

resistance. Patients with Type 2 diabetes are either diet-controlled or may have to take medications and/or insulin injections.

Patients whose blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but are not yet high enough to be classified as diabetes, are considered to have pre-diabetes. It is very important that people with preDr. Jayalakshmi Udayasankar diabetes control their weight to stop or delay the progression to diabetes.

Obesity is common in individuals with Type 2 diabetes and this condition appears to be related to insulin resistance. The primary dietary goals for overweight patients with Type 2 diabetes are weight loss and weight maintenance. With regular exercise and diet modification programs, many people with Type 2 can minimize or even avoid medications. Weight loss medications or bariatric surgery may be appropriate for some people.

For people who have diabetes, the treatment goals for a

Bruce: Here are five tips to help you with staying physically active during the holidays: Ask your family and friends to respect your desire to exercise. Let them know that it stimulates your happiness and generosity with gift giving. If that’s not persuasive, suggest they may receive coal in their Christmas stocking if they don’t give you adequate time and space to exercise.

2. Aiming for healthy lipid (cholesterol and triglyceride) levels and controlling blood pressure to protect the heart.

3. Achieving reasonable weight, which is usually defined as what is achievable and sustainable and helps achieve normal blood glucose levels.

Even modest weight loss can improve insulin resistance, which is the main problem in patients with pre-diabetes or diabetes and are overweight or obese. Physical activity, even without weight loss, is very important.

Individuals with pre-diabetes or diabetes should consult their primary-care physician or a registered dietitian who is knowledgeable about diabetes nutrition. There is no such thing as a single diabetes diet.

Whooping Cough cases finally slowing in state The number of whooping cough cases reported in Washington is easing, with some areas of the state returning to levels more typical before the epidemic. Yet state health officials caution that whooping cough is still active. Those who are at highest risk of serious illness – especially babies – remain vulnerable. Vaccination is the best way to protect them.

“We’re watching whooping cough activity closely,” said Secretary of Health Mary Selecky in a press release. “We’re encouraged to see the pace of new cases in our

state slowing, but we are not completely out of the woods. Whooping cough is still active and babies are still at risk.”

With more than 4,500 reported whooping cough cases so far this year, 2012 already has the highest number of cases in more than 70 years. The number of new cases varies from community to community. Some areas of the state are still dealing with high numbers while others are returning to levels closer to

Homes reflect Boomers’ needs As America’s 77 million-strong baby boomers reach retirement age, one thing is absolutely clear -- they are not going to quietly retreat into their golden years.

The most active generation in America’s history wants homes that will support their active lifestyles, and homes that will accommodate the challenges boomers will face, from bad knees, to working from home, to taking on grandchildren.

That’s why building and remodeling homes for aging baby boomers represents one of the biggest trends in the home improvement industry today. It’s primarily in response to how baby boomers view themselves, many of whom don’t believe ‘old’ starts until a person turns 80, according to a Del Webb survey. While many boomers see themselves running, cycling, downhill skiing for many years to come, the reality is that aging creates physical challenges, ranging from arthritis to stiffness to balance issues that could result in debilitating falls. Expecting so much of themselves, many are starting to rethink the design of their homes to accommodate their changing lifestyles.

To meet the needs of this active generation, home builders and remodelers are developing new design and building techniques that incorporate universal design principles.

-Universal design means cre-

ating products and designing spaces that allow the widest range of people, of varying physical abilities, to use one space, from babies to 80-year-olds. Because the typical American home is designed for an active American family whose adults are in their 20s and 30s, many do not meet the needs of boomers who want to age gracefully in their own homes.

‘Universal design is about balancing style with the functionality we need as we move from one stage of life to another,’ says John Gardner for APEX Siding System, a manufacturer of low maintenance, high durability siding and trim. ‘Universal design allows empty nesters to live in their homes longer, allowing them to pursue their goals and passions regardless of the physical abilities that aging may impose upon them.’

If you’re among America’s baby boomer generation, here are some tips offered by Gardner on how to design and remodel your home to meet your needs today and in the future: Don’t wait until the last-minute - If you intend to live in your cur-

With life expectancy increasing, the percentage of population over age 60 is booming.

By 2030, the population over 60 will be growing 3.5 times as rapidly as the total population, according to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).

While some look at this as a potential burden on the health care industry and society, Greg Sebasky, chairman of Philips North America, looks at this trend as an opportunity. He says this is a time to connect with well-rounded, productive and intelligent people and reap what the Philips Center for Health and Well-Being calls, the ‘longevity dividend.’

All citizens have an important role to play to ensure everyone has the opportunity to receive this longevity dividend. Here are five steps to take to help shift a perceived burden into a lasting, positive benefit for society: 1. Appreciate the contributions of older citizens. Saying ‘thank you’ to a family member for sharing a traditional family recipe or to a neighbor for keeping a watchful eye on your home is an easy way to bring to

light the every-day dividends.

2. Learn from history. Older citizens have seen more of society’s ups and downs, from a macro world view to a micro family perspective. They have the benefit of experience that can help everyone shape new approaches to challenges faced - whether in the home, at work or around town. Ask for advice and listen to the input.

3. Plug in. Help keep citizens engaged with family and friends by showing them technologies such as email or social media, or bookmark links to helpful websites. Doing so will keep elderly residents connected while maintaining independence.

4. Offer employment. Many newly-retired citizens would benefit from the ongoing mental and social stimulation provided by a workplace, even for a few hours a week. Consider posting jobs at senior community centers so active residents can easily learn about new opportunities.

5. Be an advocate. Speak up at town meetings and keep an

Council votes to acquire property for sewer line Staff Writer

The Bonney Lake City Council on Nov. 13 authorized the acquisition through either purchase or condemnation of part a piece of land in Eastown to allow for neighbors to install sewer lines through the property.

The parcel is located 21704 state Route 410 E., located between the Mazatlan and the former location of the restaurant, where the Andre’s presently sits, though the part that will be acquired or condemned is a 20-foot swath at the back end of the property.

The decision comes after a request from Kelly Kahne of Enumclaw, who owns owns two parcels of land on which he is

planning to develop multi-family housing units.

To develop his land, Kahne must, by city law, connect to the sewer system, which only extends to 214th Avenue East. Kahne said he has been working with the property owners, listed on Pierce County Assessor’s website as James and Olivia Shepard of Surprise, Ariz., for six years to try and reach an agreement that would allow him access so he could make the sewer improvements, including pipes and a lift station.

But according to Kahne, negotiations with the Shepards and co-owners the Morris family, always seem to fall apart just as it seems an agreement has been reached.

Chinook Pass closed for season

By Kevin Hanson Senior writer

Faced with heavy snowfall, high avalanche risk and the subsequent hazardous driving conditions, authorities decided to close Chinook and Cayuse passes for the season the morning of Nov. 12.

“It’s difficult for crews to maintain those routes and manage avalanche control through wet and unstable conditions like this,” said Les Turnley, maintenance supervisor for the Washington State Department of Transportation.

Approximately 20 inches of snow fell on the passes Nov. 12 and another major storm was anticipated later in the week.

Sitting at 5,430 feet above sea level, Chinook Pass is annually buried by deep snow that obscures state Route 410, the link between Enumclaw on the west

and the eastern points of Naches and Yakima.

As usual, the pass is closed from Crystal Mountain Boulevard on the west to Morse Creek on the east, a spot five miles from the summit. Access to the Crystal Mountain Ski Resort on eastbound SR 410 remains open.

Chinook Pass typically closes in November and opens in April. In 2011, the pass closed on Nov. 11, but conditions can change year to year. For example, in 2008 the road was open until Dec. 15.

One of the earliest closures on record came in 2005, when DOT shut down the highway Oct. 25; the latest closure was Dec. 18, 1974.

The earliest the pass has opened was April 5, 1973. The latest opening date came just a year later, when the roadway wasn’t cleared for traffic until July 12.

Following the most recent failure to reach a deal with the owners, Kahne came to the city, asking them on May 9 to consider condemning the property.

Ed Morris, a representative for the families was also on hand during the discussion and told the council he was “socked” to receive notice that the city was considering condemnation.

“We object to the ordinance and request you not approve it,” he told the council, adding that he still hopes to develop his land himself when the economy improves.

“If the city condemns this easement we will lose the ability to develop the back of our property in the future,” he said, adding that this was “not a legitimate use of your powers.”

But councilmembers disagreed, calling the the project important to bringing sewers to Eastown.

The ordinance itself also reads

“acquisition of a sewer easment from Shepard would help accomplish the City’s goal of extending sewer infrastructure into Eastown by enabling one property owner to contribute infrastructure to the system.”

Councilmembers also reiterated that the ordinance does not mean condemnation is unavoidable, but that it does make the easement a foregone conclusion, allowing the parties to negotiate price or to let it go a court to decide.

“This is legal structure the parties can work within,” Deputy Mayor Dan Swatman explained.

After a brief discussion, the ordinance passed 6-0 (councilman Randy McKibbin was excused for the meeting).

“Six years I’ve been working with the Morris family and I’ve gotten nowhere,” Kahne told the council.

Dave Babcock of Eatonville, who also owns property in Eastown and has been working with the Morris family on the project also told the council that negotiations have been difficult.

Babcock said the parties seemed to reach an agreement about 18 months ago. He said they had reached a verbal agreement, but when he had a contract drawn up and delivered, there was no further contact from the Morris or Shepard families.

Babcock said he needs a sewer line to allow a change-of-use at the restaurant in order to develop his land into something else.

Babcock said he lost a contract with a local retailer due to the lack of sewers or an agreement on getting the pipes to the his property.

POLICE BLOTTER Bonney Lake All suspects in the police blotter are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

FRAUD: At 4:58 p.m. Nov. 5, an officer contacted a citizen about fraudulent activity to her credit card account. She said she received a letter from Qualstar Credit Union about two unauthorized transactions on her account. Stone told the officer two transactions occurred in Miami, Fla. at a business named Zara USA (a clothing store) for $31.99 and $336.72. A third attempt to use the card was blocked. The citizen still had the family credit cards in her possession, but has used the card to purchase items on the Internet. The officer advised her to close her account and check her credit report in the near future. The case was completed for information purposes only.

WARRANT: On Nov. 11 at 2:53 p.m., an officer was dispatched to the Safeway fuel station on a report of three men begging for money. The officer found the men described. They were not actively asking for money and were sitting on a nearby curb.

They admitted to asking people for gas and told the officer they were out of diesel fuel for their truck. The station attendant had asked them not to bother customers, and they complied. A records check showed one of the men had two warrants out of Milton Police Department, and one

out of Federal Way PD. All were confirmed, and Milton PD agreed to meet and take over custody.

The man was taken into custody without incident.

The other two were told they were free to leave.

The man’s custody was transferred at the corner of Valley and Meridian in Puyallup. The officer later realized he had accidentally kept the man’s drivers license, and placed it in records until he could mail it to his home address.

LICENSE SUSPENDED: At 12:13 a.m. Nov. 9, an officer observed a black GMC car traveling on Locust Avenue East with a loud, likely defective, exhaust.

A license plate check showed the vehicle had been reported sold Sept.

19, with no corresponding title transfer. The officer initiated a traffic stop and identified the driver from his state ID. When told the reasons he was stopped, the driver said he was aware of the defective exhaust violation, but not the failure to transfer title because the car was not his. A dispatch check showed the driver was wanted on a warrant out of Auburn, and had his drivers license suspended in the third degree. He was placed under arrest and secured in the patrol vehicle. He was transported to East Valley Highway and released into Auburn PD’s custody. He was given a verbal warning about the title transfer and defective exhaust.

VEHICLE RECOVERY: At 3:48 p.m. Nov. 9, an officer was called to 191st Avenue East to recover a motor vehicle that had been parked on the street for about two weeks. The officer was able to contact the registered owner, who said she would be en route to pick it up. The officer contacted the caller, who said he had noticed the vehicle for two weeks and had checked with neighbors, turning up no owners. There was no suspect information as to who might have driven it into the area. The vehicle was left parked at the scene per the owner’s request, and the officer had dispatch remove it’s information from the Washington Crime Information Center database.

THEFT FROM VEHICLE: At 5:49 p.m. Nov. 9, an officer responded to a South Prairie Road East address in reference to a theft from a vehicle. The reporting party said she had parked nine minutes earlier, and when she returned the front passenger window had been broken out. A purse with cash, cards and medication—and a makeup bag with $200 in product— had been stolen. She had already cancelled her debit card, and was going to call her credit card company and doctor to tell them of the theft.

Employees at a nearby business said they did not have surveillance cameras pointing at the parking lot. They had seen two people walking near the business earlier, but did not see them in the parking lot where the incident took place. The vehicle

owner was given a case number and the officer took photos of her vehicle for evidence. There were no suspects at the time of the report.

THiEVES ARE TOOLS: At 9:36 p.m. Nov. 9, a man called to report his SUV had been broken into while parked outside Diagnostic Imaging Northwest.

The man, who repairs the business’s equipment, had been to and from his car since 9 a.m., and thought he had locked the vehicle each time.

As he was preparing to leave, he realized some parts and the tools in the back were missing. After further checks, he realized his registration and gas card were missing as well.

The man did not have a list of missing tools on hand, but he advised they were all stainless steel and expensive: an estimated $5,000 in all. He said he understood he would not get the tools back, but would need a case number for his company. The officer provided a case number and told the man to call if he found anything else missing.

FURNISHING LIQUOR TO MINORS: At 11:38 p.m.

Nov. 10, officers were dispatched to assist East Pierce Fire and Rescue personnel with an unconscious female in front of a 65th Street East residence.

An adult man and woman were in the front driveway with a teenaged girl wrapped in a blanket, laying on the trunk of a vehicle. She was unconscious, unresponsive, and had fallen and hit her head.

As East Pierce personnel tended to the girl, an officer questioned the adults and found them to be

uncooperative and evasive. They did not live at the house and there were many vehicles parked in the driveway and street, but they denied there was a party in the house. The lights were off and the house appeared quiet.

There was a strong odor of intoxicants coming from the adults’ breath, and both had bloodshot eyes and slurred speech.

Eventually, they admitted there was a party inside for the woman’s nephew.

Across

The man said he was married to the birthday boy’s sister, who was inside.

The unconscious girl was identified by an officer as a 16-year-old juvenile.

The man escorted officers inside and the lights were turned on to reveal about 30 people. Officers broke up the party and made sure everyone had a sober driver to take them home.

I-502 FROM 1 driving under the influence of drugs policy for THC, which is per se (meaning your blood level, not actual impairment, is the determining factor of guilt), will ensnare innocent individuals, especially patients, and especially those under 21, for whom it’s a zero-tolerance policy,” Martinelli wrote in a Nov. 6 editorial on Sensible Washington’s blog.

But local justice personnel in Bonney Lake and Enumclaw say DUID procedure will be mostly business-as-usual, pending unforeseen future case law.

“It’s not going to be that

much different,” Enumclaw City Prosecutor Mike Reynolds said. “Alcohol and/or drugs that can cause intoxication are both already covered under state law. You can have a DUI for prescription medication.

A DUI for marijuana isn’t new. The only complication was in the THC blood level.”

Just how long THC—the psychoactive component in marijuana plants responsible for the “high”—stays in the system has been a source of concern for the law’s pro-marijuana critics.

“Active THC lingers in the body for days, and we have no home test for individuals to determine if they’re below 5 (nanograms per milliliter

of whole blood) before they drive,” Martinelli wrote in his editorial.

But New Approach Washington, the organization that crafted Initiative 502, argues that the idea that a driver could be intoxicated days after smoking is based on a chemical misunderstanding.

It is true that common drug tests, such as those administered by an employer or court monitoring, can detect recent marijuana use days after the fact; even a month for heavy users. But such tests measure carboxyTHC, an inactive chemical that hangs around in the body well after the drug has been metabolized.

New Approach Washington cites an article from a 2009 article in Addiction, a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by London’s National Addiction Centre. Analysis of plasma during and after smoking a single 3.55 percent THC marijuana cigarette showed an average user would see carboxyTHC levels rise above 40 milliliters per nanogram within an hour of smoking, and stay above 40 for at least four hours after use.

But the state blood limit measures active delta-9THC. In the same plasma study, the average user’s active THC levels skyrocketed to 150 milliliters per nanogram shortly after use, before dropping to below 20 within an hour. Blood levels of active THC gradually decreased to near-zero four hours after use.

“We’ve never gone purely mechanical (on DUI charges),” Reynolds said. “What we examine is, ‘Is your driving affected by intoxication?’

“For example, a person who is not a drinker at all may have a little bit and become impaired from that amount. The chemical presence might not be a lot, but because of their ability to drive being impaired, they could still be charged with DUI.” Before a standard suspicion-of-DUI stop, officers first consider whether a vehicle is traveling erratically in a way that might suggest an intoxicated driver. If it is, an officer will initiate a stop and contact the driver, noting any strange behavior, slurred speech or smell of intoxicants.

“There typically is a good indication (if a driver is under the influence of a substance) because they act differently,” Bonney Lake Police Chief Dana Powers said. “Typically, if you have the telltale signs, an officer

Things you may not know about Initiative 502: • Initiative 502’s passage does not affect current medical marijuana laws. In her September cover story for Seattle Weekly, I-502 Campaign Director Alison Holcomb claimed the law would not prevent patients from obtaining their prescriptions through collective gardens, and that they would not be subject to the 40 percent sin tax applied to recreational pot.

• The Washington State Liquor Control Board has until Dec. 1, 2013 to craft the full rules regarding growing, processing, retailing and possessing marijuana. A statement released by the Board on Nov. 7 said they expected to take the full year.

• The law includes a marijuana equivalent to open container laws. It will be illegal to open a package of marijuana product in view of the general public.

• The law divides the suppliers in the legal marijuana economy into three general categories: producers, processors, and retailers. In other words, growers, packagers and sellers. Each will be separately licensed, and the law prohibits producers and processors from having a financial interest in a retailer.

• Every sale along the supply chain—producer to processor, processor to retailer, and retailer to consumer—will be taxed at a rate of 25 percent.

• The Liquor Control Board will not issue a license for any marijuana supply premises within 1,000 feet of schools, daycares, playgrounds, recreation centers, public parks, public transit centers, libraries or gaming arcades.

• Cities and county legislatures can submit an objection to the Liquor Control Board, based on an applicant’s “chronic illegal activity.”

• You won’t be able to buy a joint at the corner convenience store: licensed retail outlets will be prohibited from selling anything other than marijuana products and paraphernalia.

• The new legal term for a definite quantity of marijuana plants, useable marijuana, or marijuana-infused product is a “lot.” Every lot is uniform within recognized tolerances for the factors that appear on the product label.

• Marijuana products will additionally be identified by a “lot number” which identifies the marijuana licensee by trade name and state unified business identifier number, and the date of harvest or processing for each lot.

-Daniel Nash will move on to FST’s.”

The Standardized Field Sobriety Test, commonly abbreviated by law enforcement officers as SFST’s or FST’s, is a battery of three tests administered to determine impairment and establish probable cause for an arrest. They are the horizontal gaze nystagmus test—a check for exaggerated involuntary jerking of the eyes as they follow an object side-to-side—the walk and turn test along a straight line, and the one-leg stand. Research sponsored by the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration has determined that the combined results of the three tests create an accurate idea of intoxication 91 percent of the time.

It’s at this point that alcohol and drug-related DUI stops differ.

In a drinking-related DUI or DWI investigation, an officer follows the SFST with a portable breath test to determine whether the driver is above the 0.08 Blood Alcohol Content limit. The portable test provides a presumptive—but not evidentiary—BAC level that factors into an officer’s decision whether to arrest a suspect and administer two evidentiary breath tests during booking.

Marijuana and other non-alcohol drugs have no such presumptive test.

“There are an advanced form of SFSTs,” Enumclaw Lt. Bob Huebler said.

“Officers may decide they’re

needed on stops where drivers show impairment, but not necessarily intoxication.”

The advanced tests, as described by Huebler, examine a host of physical signs of drug use, including respiration and pulse, and require the expertise of a trained Drug Recognition Expert. Certification is a rigorous process that requires demonstrable knowledge of the effects of a whole wide world of drugs, and it’s rare for a local department to have one on staff. Enumclaw Police have a DRE on staff, and Bonney Lake calls one in from other Pierce County agencies when needed.

If the criteria for suspicion of drug use are met, police can have the suspect’s blood drawn at a medical facility. The blood is extracted to vials provided by Washington State Patrol and submitted to a state lab for analysis. That’s true for suspicion of any drug, and is already true for marijuana, Reynolds said; the new THC blood limit simply sets the standard for presumed intoxication.

But a blood level below the legal limit doesn’t guarantee protection against charges, according to the text of the law. In cases where a sample—of either THC or alcohol—is obtained more than two hours after the suspect was driving, any result above zero may be used as evidence of sufficient intoxication while behind the wheel.

Additionally, drivers

under the age of 21 are subject to zero tolerance on THC blood levels, in contrast to the 0.02 blood alcohol limit for minors.

With marijuana DUI law brought closer to that of alcohol, law enforcement’s approach is part status quo, part wait-and-see.

“The state is obviously going to have to look at (the law),” Powers said. “You can possess it now. It opens up a lot of questions no one has all the answers to yet. So as we work through this, we’ll be paying close attention to case law that arises in the future.

“We’ll do our best to work with the state and the county through it all.”

Huebler agreed.

“We’re keeping our ears to the ground,” he said. “Case law guides us and gives us a better idea of things (as cases are decided in court).

We’re here at the will of the people, and if (recreational marijuana) is what the people want, it’s our job to work with that.”

The Courier-Herald called Buckley Police Department Officer Kevin Goss, a trained marijuana technician and high-volume DUI arrester, Wednesday regarding the DUID provision of Initiative 502. Goss responded with a voice mail message Thursday morning. He was not sure how Initiative 502 would play out, he said, but he was “sure” DUID arrests would go up once officers had the proper field training.

The best formula would be to choose a used all-wheel drive and have it equipped with some of the best winter tires money can buy. Obviously, that means a little bit more money, but unless the buyer chooses to keep the vehicle for a few years, it can bring back a sufficient amount of money if it is sold back in spring.

A recent model used car is probably a better choice than a “winter beater” for the cold season

Sometimes people use a “winter beater”, which is a heavily used car or light truck that they won’t bother investing maintenance money into. This might not be the ideal solution for the average driver who still wants some reliability in the winter.

After all, beaters can be safety hazards too. The best solution for most people is a slightly used car that is reliable, safe, and can do the job of managing winter roads.

Alternately, a reasonably priced frontwheel-drive mid-sized sedan can be bought at an even better price and still return a good amount of money when sold later in the year. Is a front-wheel drive as good as an all-wheel drive in winter? It all depends on the way the car is driven. But as in all cases, great winter tires will sure help!

Plenty to do all winter at Mount Rainier November’s storms mark the transition from snow-free to winter conditions at Mount Rainier, one of the snowiest places on the planet.

The park transitioned to winter hours of operation and services in early November. The gate at Longmire is closed nightly through March to keep visitors and plow operators safe during road opening. New this winter and starting November 27, the road between Longmire and Paradise will be closed to public travel on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Longmire and the park will remain open seven days a week, barring

major storm events.

“We are strategically deploying available park staff and resources to provide access to Paradise Thursday through Monday, the five days of the week with greatest visitation”, King said.

Visitation statistics show that Tuesday and Wednesday are, on average, the park’s least visited days, with fewer than 60 visitor vehicles coming through the Nisqually Entrance on a typical day. By focusing staff on fewer days, the park will be better able to provide access and services during times of greatest visitation, including more consistent road plowing

and emergency patrols for visitor safety.

The area above Longmire will be closed to overnight camping on Tuesdays and Wednesdays because safe road access won’t be available.

On Thursdays through Mondays, and every day during the Christmas holiday, the road from Longmire to Paradise will open as soon as the park’s snow plows can make it safe for travel. In good weather the road may open as early as 7:00 AM, but in bad weather (or following a heavy snowfall) the road opening may be delayed until late morning or, in some cases, may not open at all. All vehicles are required to carry tire chains when entering the park. Road conditions can deteriorate quickly during the day and mandatory chain use may be required even for 4WD vehicles.

To better accommodate visitor needs and reduce energy costs, the visitor information center at Longmire will move across the road from the Longmire Museum to the historic Administration Building, in the space occupied by the Wilderness Information Center during the summer. Park rangers will be available seven days a week from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM to provide information on hikes, locations of interest, and interpretive map talks for winter visitors to the Longmire Historic District.

Watch for more information on hikes and other exciting programs that will be offered at Longmire on Tuesdays and Wednesdays!

Located at Longmire, the historic National Park Inn is open year round,

providing dining, lodging and a gift shop. For reservations call 360-569-2275.

Businesses in the gateway communities are also open throughout the winter.

The Jackson Visitor Center at Paradise will be open on weekends and holidays through March. The Paradise snowplay/sledding area will open during the Christmas holiday provided snow depth is adequate.

Highways 123 and 410, and the Stevens Canyon Road east of Paradise, and the White River, Sunrise and Mowich Lake Roads are now closed to vehicle access for the winter, but remain open to winter recreation.

There’s always plenty to do in and around Mount Rainier, any day of the week!

Visitors are encouraged to obtain up-to-the-minute updates on road conditions and restrictions by calling the park at 360-569-2211 and listening to the recorded information. You can also connect to Mount Rainier National Park through our social media pages. Join the Mount Rainier community on Facebook, find out breaking news and road status updates through Mount Rainier’s Twitter feed, explore the park and behind-thescenes operations with our videos on YouTube, and share your own photos of Mount Rainier with other visitors in the Mount Rainier Flickr group.”

Backcountry travelers should get an update on current and projected snow, avalanche and weather conditions before coming to the park, and be prepared to survive winter conditions.

ENUMCLAW’S 2012 LIGHTED

CHRISTMAS PARADE

GOT HEAT?

Saturday, December 1st at 6:00 pm Downtown Enumclaw, Cole Street

Well you probably do, but here are some ways to make sure you keep it and put some money in your wallet with the savings you’ll earn! Hawaii anyone?

Each year Cole Street comes alive with holiday spirit with floats, cars and Christmas cheer for the annual Christmas Parade and holiday celebration.

Be a draft dodger! Seal and caulk around doors and windows, skylights also if you have them. Install storm doors and windows if you haven’t done so already.

Is this how your dog greets you when you get home?

Get your ducts in a row. Check your duct work for any gaps, creases or disconnects. If you do find a place that needs repair, use metal duct tape. Also check along the registers for any gaps. If there are any, you can spray foam insulation to seal the gaps.

Insulating the ducts will also improve efficiency.

You can avoid the chilly reception by getting your heating system tuned-up.

It’s not too late

Fire in the Hole. If you burn wood during the winter, consider getting glass doors with vents on the bottom installed on your fireplace. This will prevent the warm air from being sucked up the chimney and you’ll still get to enjoy the flames.

You can avoid the chilly reception by getting your heating system tuned-up.

Schedule a tune-up or repair online and get automatically entered to Win a 3 year T.O.P. Service Membership and $50 worth of coffee or tea at your favorite coffee stand!

Fan(cy) that! By running your ceiling fans in reverse, you’ll circulate the warm air back down to your level.

The fan should be turning clockwise when you look up at it.

Tuneup Time. Having your heating system cleaned and professionally tuned will keep your system running smoothly and more efficiently. Remember to change your filters or wash them frequently (at least once a month) throughout the winter.

Upgrading to a more efficient furnace can also put money in your pocket in the long run and improve your home’s value.

Go Shopping! That’s right, ladies! Wearing a warm sweater, vest or fleece will help keep you warmer and allow you to keep that thermostat at a lower temperature by at least four degrees. A programmable thermostat is ideal, as you can set it lower at night and when you’re away during the day. Program it to come back on about half an hour before you get home or wake up in the morning and your room will be nice and cozy.

Don’t Shower Outside! By disconnecting your hoses from the outdoor faucets, you’ll keep the faucets from freezing and spraying you in the Spring when you turn them back on. Hoses, sprinklers and irrigation systems should be drained and turned off for the winter. Also, drain any hoses and pipes on your air conditioning unit.

Thank You for your business! We look forward to many more years to come!

The epidemic has increased people’s aware-

ness of how serious whooping cough is, and driven more than twice as many adults in Washington to get their Tdap booster this year than last year. Still, with the disease continuing to circulate, more adults should get vaccinated, especially those who will be around babies.

New babies are vulnerable because they can’t get

All regional nominees will be recognized at the ESPAW annual luncheon held in conjunction with the Association of Washington School Principals’ Conference.

mitted to drinking alcohol provided by the adults. Observation of beverages around the house made it obvious a drinking party had taken place. One attendee had Bonney Lake warrants and was taken into custody. The adults responsible were cited for furnishing liquor to minors. The 16-year-old was taken to the hospital, and an officer called her grandmother to advise her of the circumstances, and inform her she would keep the girl’s cellphone in police possession until it could be retrieved. The next afternoon, the juvenile, having been released from the hospital at 11 a.m., arrived at the Public Safety Building to retrieve her phone. There was a bump on the left side of her forehead, which an officer photographed for evidence. The juvenile told the officer she had passed out after consuming “Tequila Jell-O Shots.” The cell phone was returned, photographs uploaded to the evidence drive, and charges of Minor In Possession of Alcohol were forwarded to Pierce County Juvenile Court.

Winter hasn’t buttoned things up yet There is still plenty of time to dig in the garden before winter buttons things up. As long as the ground is not frozen solid you can transplant roses, move deciduous shrubs that have lost their leaves and add spring-blooming bulbs that you find for bargain prices at home centers and garden stores.

Why not go for a whole new look this spring and plant some unusual bulbs now for novelty blooms in a few months? Here’s my vote for bulbs with personality that do well in western Washington.

Allium or Flowering Onion

This is not the blooming onion you’ll be served at a restaurant, but these onions are a treat for the eyes. Alliums look like something from outer space when in bloom, which explains why a gardener once asked where to find “alien bulbs” with the big round spheres for

Mount Hood Daffodils

Who could resist a daffodil named after a mountain in the Pacific Northwest?

Fritillaries

The snow on top of Mount Hood inspired the naming of this delightful daffodil that blooms with a pale yellow trumpet that soon turns to glistening, snow white as the flower matures. What I really like about Mount Hood daffodils is the white blooms last longer than traditional yellow daffodils.

Rock Garden Tulips

These short-stemmed tulips are more properly called species tulips and they are originally from the Mediterranean so they prefer a spot where the soil will be warm and dry in the summer; in our climate, that means plant them in a raised-bed rock garden. Species tulips like the tulip kaufmanniana ‘Ice Stick” and Tulip clusiana ‘Lady Jane” come with twotoned petals that appear as if bold stripes of pink or red paint had been applied to the creamy white flowers.

blooms that are yellow at the base, then feathered out in cream, pink and red… really a royal flower fit for a king or Russian Tsar.

You can find all of these unusual bulbs at local nurseries just sitting in open bins, waiting for you to bag up and take home. There is still time to order bulbs from mail-order houses or online bulb growers but don‘t wait much longer.

It’s time to plant bulbs.

math and science teachers. Why would bright young math and science majors opt for teaching when they can earn more applying their skills in the private sector?

Perhaps it’s time to apply a private sector principle to public education: differential pay. In the private sector, not all employees are paid the same; their pay reflects the priority and value of their skills. Not so in education. Why not pay more for teachers skilled in science, technology, engineering and math? Why not have exceptional teachers mentor younger, inexperienced

teachers?

If we want to put people back to work and encourage companies to invest in manufacturing and technology in America, we need to encourage our children and our schools to emphasize not only reading, writing and arithmetic, but STEM skills, as well.

Otherwise, the unemployment gap for unskilled workers will widen and that is not good for our state or our nation.
