Legislative agenda: roads and annexation

A group of Covington residents culminated nine months of work with a series of recommendations for the City Council.

Covington’s Budget Priorities Advisory Committee presented its report to the council at its Jan. 22 meeting.

The committee determined, the report stated, “Covington is a very well COVINGTON run city with an excellent ‘corporate culture.’”

The BPAC members poured over the budget of each city department and found Covington runs “lean and mean,” according to the report, “and the stereotype of ‘big government’ couldn’t be further from the truth.”

Maple Valley will focus its 2013 legislative agenda on transportation and on legislation that would make it easier for the city to annex property.

Two of the main issues the city faces in regards to transportation are road funding and transit services, David Johnston, Maple Valley city manager, said.

“The state MAPLE cannot expect VALLEY local government to use their limited resources to fund highways in their jurisdiction,” Johnston said.

The city would also like to see an increase in transit services over the long-term as one way to ease traffic in Maple Valley. A potential transit center would also help

Author BJ Farish shatters his barriers one story at a time

BY KATHERINE SMITH ksmith@maplevalleyreporter.com

Becoming a published author was a long, two-year journey for Maple Valley resident BJ Farish.

Farish worked on his new book, “Shattering Your Barriers” off and on since 2010, a little over eight months ago he decided to get serious about finishing it.

“I just decided that it was something I needed to get done for

me,” Farish said. “I had a collection of ideas I needed to get down on paper somehow.”

In his book, Farish uses personal anecdotes and his experiences as an endurance athlete to encourage readers to challenge themselves and overcome obstacles in their lives. Farish offers insights and tips regarding the importance of having a support system, taking control of one’s circumstances and relationships, changing one’s

mindset, the value in differing perspectives, and knowing when and how to ask for help, to name a few.

Two themes that run throughout the stories Farish recounts are the importance of never giving up and continually challenging oneself. For Farish, these were lessons he learned from his parents. His father worked in all kinds of conditions, installing and maintaining fire protection systems and Farish can’t remember his father ever missing a day of work.

As for Farish’s mother, she left college after a year and a half to get married and raise a family, [ more BARRIERS page 5 ]

ick Malik wants to help people tell better stories. “It’s what a lot of people do and it’s what a lot of people don’t do well,� Malik said.

To that end the Covington resident co-authored “Stories That Move Mountains: Storytelling and Visual Design for Persuasive Presentations,� in partnership with Martin Sykes and Mark D. West. “Infographics are great if you have some data and you want to teach something,� Malik said. “If you want to actually have an impact on the world, infographics will impact nothing. You can’t tell them a story that teaches them, you have to tell them a story that will change them and that’s what the book is about.�

The idea for the process described in the book first germinated for Malik years ago.

the core of the book, to getting the final bits of content into Wiley, the publisher of the book which is based in England, where Sykes lives. “The book is very simple,� Malik said. “The book is step by step. It’s meant for ordinary people.

One of the things that you find in this is anyone can take this, whether they’re a structured thinker or a cre-

ative, artistic thinker ‌ any one of those different types of thinkers can take this book and make a compelling presentation with it. It will challenge you to make you think like those other thinkers, it will force you out of your shell a little bit.�

The CAST model is a format which requires anyone reading the book looking for guidance on storytelling through presentations to ask four questions. Malik explained that the model starts with pushing the reader to ask himself those questions. “If you don’t start with ‘why?’ then the rest of it doesn’t matter,� Malik said. “If you don’t want to make a change, then this book isn’t for you. If you just want to make a pretty picture, then this book isn’t for you. The first think you have to ask is, ‘Why do you want to change something?’ Then you have to answer the question, ‘What do you want to change?’ And you don’t have to go crazy. Pick the one thing that you want to change.�

More than a decade ago Malik worked for an Internet firm called fine.com. He ran the development shop.

One of his designers was an actor who had a visual bent.

Malik’s employee asked to take a class with a visual design expert named Edward Tufte. “He went to this talk because I paid for and he came back and gave the big spiel,� Malik said. “So, I borrowed Tufte’s book. We used those ideas over and over again because they were very compelling. I had been using an infographic-y style, but, hadn’t developed a process.�

Those ideas were used in the redesign of websites for prominent businesses and organizations.

As Malik moved on through his career, he encountered Sykes who did a presentation at his current employer, Microsoft. Malik started using Syke’s process and it had a lasting effect on the way he worked. Both men are enterprise strategy

architects for their respective employers.

Malik asked Sykes to come back to Microsoft to give another presentation but it didn’t work out. “So, we ended up writing a book together,� Malik

In celebration of fitness goals Kris Hill Assistant Editor

Weight loss success stories are nearly as ubiquitous as the fast food joints within a mile of the Reporter’s office in Covington — there’s seven of those restaurants, by my count.

As a society, we love NBC’s “The Biggest Loser,� which started its 14th season Jan. 6, and exercise programs like CrossFit or boot camps or Zumba. We love to be part of the journeys of others as well as go on our own.

We try out all the latest quick weight loss diets, known more and more people who have undergone lap band or gastric bypass procedures, and in a sea of junk food we marvel at anyone who sheds more than 20 pounds.

Losing weight is no easy task. And it’s not an easy subject to bring up. You can’t just ask someone who lost a bunch of weight how they did it because sometimes it was due to a serious illness they have kept on the down low for various reasons. Or, he hasn’t lost weight which makes the whole rest of the conversation awkward because then he thinks that you think he is chubby and could stand to shed a few pounds.

As the pages of the calendar approached 2013, many people likely tried hard to dodge the temptations the holiday season threw at them from well, actually October through Jan. 1. Surely there were many right here in our own communities who pondered change, how to get rid of the baby weight or the extra 20 pounds they’ve carried since college or just how to be healthier in a realistic way.

I also thought about my own journey during the past year or so as I’ve shed more than 35 pounds, how I started walking then running, and how my list of goals for 2013 includes running in five more 5K races by the end of June.

The plan is to train this summer to run a 10K race in the fall.

OPINION

XXX DPWJOHUPOSFQPSUFS DPN t XXX NBQMFWBMMFZSFQPSUFS DPN

It occurred to me that there are likely many success stories in Covington, Maple Valley, Black Diamond, Ravensdale, Hobart and other neighborhoods nearby. Why not find those people and tell those stories?

Then in late December a couple of gentlemen from Pinnacle Therapy came in with two ideas.

They wanted to advertise and they wanted to see if anyone on the editorial staff would be willing to write about what they do.

As I listened to them tell me about Pinnacle I knew this would be a good connection for finding fitness journey stories in the community.

Since then I’ve also asked Kristy Fassio, owner of Stroller Strides Maple Valley, if she could introduce me to anyone with a great fitness journey tale. She volunteered herself if no one else is willing.

I’ll reach out to a couple of other potential sources, too, for my next series which right now I’m calling Fitness Journeys.

There are two groups of people I want to talk

to, but, I’m not sure yet which order the series will run. One group is made up of individuals from the community who have achieved success in their fitness goals. Their stories of how they did it — but more importantly why — are surely to be inspiring. The other group I want to focus on consists of people who have recently started down the road to health. I want to know what that moment of truth was for these folks, what was the turning point which set them on the path to their fitness goals, what they have done so far and what they hope to accomplish.

I am excited to tell these stories because this will go beyond resolutions, something so many of us fail at, and delves into how people have truly changed their lives. It’s not about a new year, new you idea, instead it’s about the journey toward long-term, long-lasting changes for a healthier and happier life.

The first part will run Feb. 8. I hope you like it and if you want me to tell your story, please let me know.

America’s Education System.� In the article, based on a recent report by the Economic Policy Institute, the author says American policymakers and reformers are making simplistic decisions about education. International test scores are being compared without a full accounting of the striking differences between countries.

Thomas says, “Why break down international test scores by social class? In just about every country, poor students do worse than rich students. America’s yawning income inequality means our international test sample has a higher share of low-income students, and their scores depress our national average.�

This difference amounts to a poverty rate of approximately 5 percent in Finland (the top performing country on recent international tests) and approximately 20 percent in the United States.

What? Again, poverty is the excuse? No, because excuses shouldn’t be part of a conversation about public education. But this information does provide an explanation of what is happening in American schools that should be taken into account in the discussions we have about where to go next. More standardized tests with high stakes consequences that scare our children will not work as well as addressing the issues that cause some of our students to enter school behind others in their

academic abilities.

The failure of top administrators to take a closer look at what these test scores really show means children like my precious grandson will continue to be afraid of taking a test. Teachers will continue to feel sad and demoralized about how their students react to these tests that don’t address the root of the problem, and just serve to cause distress.

When teachers express their concern about the direction of school reform, people may wonder if teachers are afraid to be accountable. I can assure you as a teacher that we care excessively about accountability. Every time we mark our report cards we care excessively about how every single student is doing.

What teachers ask for is to be included in the conversation with top administrators and reformers. Last week in Seattle, teachers were standing up for what they know children need when they spoke out against the MAP test.

We’re the educational experts in the field and we really know what’s happening with our children. We know what is needed because we work with our students every day. We know it’s not right for our children to be afraid.

My grandson is adorable and as smart as a whip.

He was able to read and write before he started kindergarten this year. He does very well in his academics and has just loved school so far. But something happened this last week that was sad and surprising to me as a grandma and as a teacher.

My little grandson was terrified about taking a test.

Can it truly be that our kindergarteners are feeling the stress of high stakes tests at their tender age?

Yes, even our littlest ones in the public school system are feeling worried these days.

It’s sad, but isn’t that the result of the accountability that we need in order to bring American test scores up with those of other countries?

Board of Fire Commissioners to discuss levy at Feb. 7 meeting The Maple Valley Board of Fire Commissioners is planning to place a levy on the April special election ballot in response to budget cuts and increasing response times.

Budget cuts, including the loss of four Firefighter/EMTs, are causing increased response times for people

served by Maple Valley Fire and Life Safety.

Funding from the levy would be used to maintain the number of Firefighter/ EMTs and place a medical aid car back in service for fire district residents.

The Board invites the public to attend and comment on the proposed levy

at its next meeting on Feb. 7 at 6 p.m. at Station 81, 22225 SE 231st St. in Maple Valley. “We are operating with $1.6 million less in revenue than three years ago, and response times are starting to increase,� said Fire Chief Brad Doerflinger. “We have cut our budget and

dipped into our emergency reserve fund, but we can’t keep up with the rising costs to provide emergency services.�

Last fall, the fire department’s Citizen Advisory Committee recommended that the fire department place a three-year levy on the April special

election ballot for $1.5 million. The Board of Fire Commissioners approved this recommendation at their November meeting. The levy would cost the owner of a $300,000 home approximately $9.50 per month, or 38 cents per $1,000 of property value based on 2013 assessed valuations.

This amount would be in addition to the fire levy that fire district residents currently pay.

The Board will vote on the final levy resolution at its last meeting in February after input has been received from the public.

Those who are unable to attend the meeting are encouraged to send their comments to Chief Brad Doerflinger, Maple Valley Fire and Life Safety, 22225 SE 231st St., Maple Valley, WA 98038 or by email to chief@maplevalleyfire.org.

but never gave up her dream of becoming a nurse. Thirtythree years later she was able to return to school and achieve her dream. “That’s a rule we have in our house — you can’t quit,�

Farish said.

Farish believes that a key part to achieving success is surrounding yourself with a good support system.

Farish recalled preparing for an Iron Man competition and how much the support of his family meant to him while he was training and on the day of the race. “It was a long day for them as well,� Farish said. “We got to experience it together.�

Another favorite memory for Farish was when he competed in a 50-mile race and his friends supported him through the race, making sure he had food, water, and a new pair of shoes.

The first part of the course was wet and muddy and Farish’s friend offered to meet him on the course with clean shoes and socks after the muddy portion of the course was completed. “I could have done it with muddy shoes,� Farish said. “But it was a whole lot better with new shoes.�

Farish said the hardest part about writing was, “Realizing at some point I had to declare it done. I had to decide that these words, in this fashion, were good enough.�

Farish hopes his book encourages people to examine what barriers they’ve created for themselves. “People have self-imposed barriers,� Farish said. “People are a whole lot more capable than they recognize.�

Farish believes that if people can recognize the barriers they allow to hold themselves back, then they can challenge and overcome them.

When Farish started running marathons, his goal was to finish the 26 miles in under four hours. It took 10 tries. “Now that’s not a barrier,� Farish said. “Last year I ran five and every one was under four hours.�

helps readers to think about in preparation to tell a story is how to make the change proposed with the answers to the other questions as well as what happens if the change comes about and what will the reader do if things don’t change after they’ve gone through this process.

Malik noted that the model also encourages readers to consider the audience. “Many times in business you’re only talking to five people that you’re trying to convince,â€? he said. “You need to write it down, who you’re talking and even better, validate it with the people you’re talking to. Then you need to think about their learning styles and ‌ how people decide ‌ so you can create your visual story based upon what they

need to do, based on how you’re going to reach them.�

Through the entire process of developing a visual story, Malik said, it is also important to understand why giving a presentation based on the model described in the book is more effective because of how audiences react to stories. “We remember stories,� he said. “We relate to stories. We see ourselves in stories.�

But a good story still needs to be told well, Malik said, so it’s also key to rehearse before giving the presentation developed based on the CAST model.

The power of storytelling is something all three of the men who worked on this book understand well, Malik said. “We filled the book with lots of little stories from our jobs, as well,� he said.

Malik said the entire experience and the end product has been great. Even the 45 minutes spent locked in a room with his co-authors trying to come up with the name. “Stories That Move Mountains� was published in November.

And putting out a book isn’t new to him. “This isn’t my first book,� Malik said. “I’ve published two books before. I knew the process and I knew the way the system works. Wiley was terrific. If I could say kinder things about a publisher, I would. This is an achievement.

This is a book that I’m proud of.�

[6] February 1, 2013 Many of the concerns members of BPAC had going into the process had been addressed by city staff, the report said, during costcutting measures that came as Covington dealt with the impacts of the recession. “The fact the city has performed relatively well given those challenges could be a double-edged sword,� the report said. “Often with an expectation of similar future performances without consideration of the stress and toll exacted.�

During the process, which began in February 2012, the BPAC learned a tremendous amount of information about how city government works as it developed a consensus in order to deliver the report.

In BPAC’s report there were specific recommendations regarding the city’s police services contract with the King County Sheriff ’s Office and the parks fund as well as potential new revenue streams — cutting costs or budgets did not seem feasible given how much the city has tightened its belt during the past four years — to help provide cash for proposed projects and positions.

When it came to the city’s police contract, the committee endorsed the current contract but suggested some recommendations to enhance and complement existing services such

as implementing a police volunteer program, funding a civilian educator position to address the perception of crime in the city and develop relationships with businesses, schools and other community groups as well as a suggestion to explore the idea of sharing a directed enforcement officer with Maple Valley.

This position would be proactive, analyzing cases handled by both cities to find trends then searching for root causes, as well as developing a strategy for addressing recurring issues.

As for the parks fund, the committee had specific recommendations for Covington Community Park and the Covington Aquatic Center. Both, the committee report said, needed greater marketing and community awareness. “We are especially interested in the development of Covington Community Park and marketing that park as a community gathering point,â€? the report said. “Many on the ‌ committee feel Covington does not have within the city a physical place to anchor a community identity on — the feeling is that Covington is mainly a highway separating several unremarkable strip malls. We believe that Covington Community Park has good potential to become that community identity point that the city is lacking and currently

“The comments I heard were that (the council was) very happy with the content of the report and appreciated the time and effort that went into creating it,�

Hendrickson wrote. “The recommendation they all agreed on was asking staff to move ahead with a plan to create a TBD.�

Department heads looked over BPAC’s report and discussed the council’s comments at a meeting Tuesday.

Hendrickson wrote that the management team would determine next steps from there.

Ultimately, the report recommended BPAC continue on in some form, in part to help educate residents about city finance and government, learn from experiences of other residents, and work with other committees. “The city invested a lot of time with BPAC and we really appreciate it,� the report said. “There wasn’t anybody who walked away from the experience without learning something about city government and city finances.�

expansion and propelling forward some of the positive changes Covington’s citizens have been wishing and waiting for.�

BPAC was formed after the Covington City Council adopted a charter Sept. 13, 2011, as part of the city’s efforts to be create greater engagement with residents.

Covington’s management team discussed the public engagement process at its retreat in March 2011 and came up with outcomes to help guide the development of the process.

Through public engagement, the city wanted to help the community become educated about and connected to mandated as well as discretionary services and the role of its town center.

In addition, the management team felt it was important to be able to convey a clear sense of the community’s priorities for the city’s existing revenue as well as new revenue.

There were 15 members who regularly attended BPAC committee meetings.

The committee met twice a month. It was made up of high school students, retirees and professionals, and those who had a variety of political views, the report stated.

Covington Finance Director Rob Hendrickson wrote in an email that the committee’s chair, Ed Cook, presented the report to the City Council which then discussed it in depth at its retreat Jan. 26 at Real Life Church in Covington.

The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located in the lower portion of the neck that wraps around the windpipe.

The thyroid’s job is to remove iodine from foods like seafood, bread, and salt and turn it into hormones. Thyroid hormones are what stimulate the metabolism of the body’s cells.

Hyperthyroidism occurs when there are too many thyroid hormones in the body, which comes from an overactive thyroid. The increased metabolic rate that happens as a result of hyperthyroidism can increase the risk of other health problems such as heart disease, bone loss, and problems for women who are pregnant. Symptoms of hyperthyroidism include heart palpitations, nervousness, changes in vision, and thyroid enlargement. Hyperthyroidism is highly treatable and rarely life threatening. Untreated hyperthyroidism, however, can lead to complications.

Although hyperthyroidism can be serious if you ignore it, most people respond well once hyperthyroidism is diagnosed and treated. Treatment options include anti-thyroid medications and radioactive iodine to slow the production of thyroid hormones. Sometimes, treatment of hyperthyroidism involves surgery to remove all or part of the thyroid gland.

“Hardening off� new plants an important step

Student leaders visit state capitol Members of the Kent-based Institute for Community Leadership visited the capitol campus and addressed the Senate’s education committee on Jan 21.

In addition to joining the Senate for its recognition of Dr. King, students from the institute visited and testified before the Senate Early Learning and K-12 Education Committees. “Dr. King taught us that education is the key to democracy. We need to have an education system that prepares students for lifelong learning,� said Mayra Perez, a junior from Kentlake High School, who addressed the education committee.

Sen. Joe Fain, who hosted the group, also sponsored a resolution that, “recognized the courageous leadership and legacy of hope demonstrated

by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.� “Having members of our community from the Institute for Community Leadership on hand to celebrate demonstrates the real-world progress and hope that stem from the incredible example set forth by Dr. King,� said Fain. “The opportunity to formally recognize Dr. King was humbling; I’m glad we were able to gather to highlight the values of equality and respect.�

Plan ahead for “hardening off � newly purchased plants by having a protected display area like a large pot, basket or even a vintage suitcase or wheelbarrow where you can set your new purchases under cover but outdoors while they adjust to the cold night air. While you wait for newlypurchased plants to harden off, you can get to know your impulse buys and think about where they would best look in the garden. Then when you do transplant them from their pots to window boxes or an early spring garden they will have roots ready to grow in cold soil and foliage and flowers not freaked out by a frosty night.

Q. If I purchase a bare root lilac shrub, climbing rose plant and raspberry plant, how long can I store these plants in the plastic bags they came in? It looks like there is some damp sawdust around the roots inside the plastic bag. Right now they are sitting in my garage until I decide where to Marianne Binetti

The Compleat Home Gardener

February is forsythia time and if you have one of these earlyblooming shrubs this is the week to prune a few of the long, bare branches, plop them into a tall vase of water and enjoy watching the bright yellow buds open into dazzling blooms.

You can also force quince, flowering cherry and almonds just by cutting whips or bare branches and letting them absorb warmth and water inside your home.

Visit a local nursery or garden center this month and you’ll be able to take home bare root roses, fruit trees and berry bushes to plant immediately outdoors, as long as the ground is not frozen.

Be patient, however, if you are smitten with a blooming primrose or winter pansy plant. These greenhouse-grown bloomers are still a bit tender and need a week or two under the protection of a porch or covered patio to fully acclimate to the still-cold nights.

plant them in my new landscape.

R.W., email A. Better get out to the garage today and remove the plants.

First, remove them from their plastic wrapping and take off any sawdust that clings to the bare, woody roots. Then plunk the bottom half of the plants into a bucket of cold water. Store the bucket outdoors unless the weather threatens to freeze. You want to keep all bare root plants cold but not freezing so they stay asleep and dormant until you have time to plant them. The sooner you can get any dormant plant into the ground the better, but I admit to leaving bare root plants in water for several weeks — and they’ve always survived. Letting them soak in a water bath is better than keeping them in a warm garage where a bit of mild weather could wake them from slumber and cause the bare branches to leaf out and attempt to grow new roots before they are planted into the ground.

Q. I planted some hellebore plants last year and I am delighted to say they are now blooming

again. My question is about pruning them. I seem to remember I am supposed to prune them after they bloom ‌ or is it before they bloom? I have both white and pink hellebore plants. Thank you.

H.S., Tacoma A. Hellebores are indeed heavenly perennial plants and not just because of their winter blooms. These tough guys are slug resistant, deer proof and flower even in the shade. You need to prune off the old foliage, not just to keep your hellebores looking tidy and allow the blooms to be seen. In our area the leaves of hellebores can turn black around the edge letting you know they have been attacked by a fungus among us. Removing the infected leaves in early spring or winter will keep this disease from spreading and make way for the fresh flush of new foliage that will appear after the flowers. Get snippy with your hellebores now by following each leaf all the way down to the “stem� or petiole, where it emerges. I find using a pair of kitchen scissors makes this a quick job and I make sure to notice the lovely new

blooms while cleaning up the old foliage.

Q. What is the name of the fragrant yellow shrub in bloom right now? It is not forsythia but it does rather look like one. It smells great. P., email A. Witch Hazel. The Latin name is Hamamelis and the spider-like blooms are small and not as bright as forsythia but that sweet, delicious scent is bewitching — so witch hazel should haunt every winter garden.

Public comment begins on possible I-90 tolling Public comments will help determine the range of issues covered in the assessment.

The proposed project includes plans to implement all-electronic tolling on I-90 between Interstate 5 and Interstate 405.

Tolls on I-90 would be collected using the state’s Good To Go! system and

would operate similar to SR 520 tolls.

Tolling I-90 will also help alleviate congestion on I-90 between I-5 and I-405 in the Cross-Lake Washington Corridor.

The Legislature has not yet authorized tolls on I-90 and an environmental assessment, following National Environmental Policy

Act guidelines, would help inform the decision-making process of lawmakers.

I-90 tolls have been discussed since 2006 as a way to help fill the SR 520 funding gap if WSDOT is unable to secure enough funding from other sources In addition, the 2008 SR 520 Toll Implementation Committee and the 2009 SR 520 Legislative Working Group — both directed by the Legislature to review toll implementation strategies — analyzed tolling I-90. “The NEPA environmental assessment’s comment period gives us a chance to speak with people interested in the I-90 corridor, engaging I-90 drivers to ensure they are informed and have their voices heard,� said Craig Stone, WSDOT Toll Division assistant secretary in a release. “Scoping is an important first step in the environmental assessment process, so now’s the time to share your thoughts about I-90 tolling.�

The public comment period ends midnight Feb. 22.

During this 30-day

period, WSDOT will also host three public scoping meetings to provide project information and take public comments.

An online open house for public comment is available at: www.wsdot.wa.gov/ tolling/i90/onlinescoping.

Those interested may also submit comments by email at: I90EAcomments@ wsdot.wa.gov.

Comments can also be sent via traditional mail to: Angela Angove, 999 Third Ave., Suite 2200, Seattle, WA 98104. Mailed comments must be postmarked

by Feb. 22.

There will be another opportunity for people to provide comment at a public hearing to be held in November, when WSDOT will share the environmental assessment findings.

The EA and final report are scheduled to be completed in early 2014.

After the environmental assessment is complete, legislative authorization for I-90 tolling could take place as soon as 2014.

The state Legislature directed the Washington State Department of Transportation to conduct an environmental assessment of the potential effects of tolling I-90 as a way to generate revenue for the state Route 520 bridge replacement.

The SR 520 bridge project has a funding gap of approximately $1.4 billion.

Drivers who might be affected by a proposal to toll Interstate 90 between Seattle and Bellevue can give input to a state study that will assess the potential environmental and social effects of tolling.

solve pack mule situations.

It’s impossible to try and explain to someone how to juggle many items at once, it has to be a spontaneous skill because it usually means the carrier (mom) is rushed.

Sometimes I’ll sit back and observe the show of my daughters unloading the groceries from the car.

I get my bucket of popcorn (because it takes that long) and just watch. They bring in only as much as their two hands can handle. When I unload, I bring in as many items as I can stow on my body (bag handles go over elbow crooks, leaving hands free for more).

took her to Starbucks for some grownup coffee time.

For some reason, when we got out of the car, my sister loaded up on all the baby supplies new parents can’t live without. So as we walked into Starbucks my husband had the baby, I had my purse and my husband’s free hand, and my sister had the baby seat, the diaper bag, a small blanket, the baby’s hat that had fallen off and her own purse.

I remember the scene of my husband and I walking serenely into the coffee shop and my sister behind us struggling to balance all the baby paraphernalia; much like a cartoon character would juggle a precarious load. As we walked through the door a woman coming out took one look at our little band

of baby handlers and gave my sister a strange look. My sister looked her square in the eye and said, “I’m the Sherpa.�

A Sherpa is a person hired to carry equipment.

You can hire a Sherpa in Nepal before you climb Mt. Everest or, as I recently learned, photographers also call their equipment handlers Sherpas. The name stuck, and instead of Aunt, my sister is still fondly referred to as Sherpa.

But I didn’t have my sister’s assistance for long; I had to figure out how to juggle all the accessories of motherhood on my own.

Without thinking about the nuances of the situation, I figured it out. The need to grow extra arms just happens, or perhaps from packing babies around, our

How much water is enough? As a general rule, the amount of water your child should consume (ounces) a day is equal to half their total body weight in pounds.

Childhood friends pursue filmmaking dreams As childhood friends who grew up in Kent, they shared the love of visual arts and wonder of adventurous movies.

Now aspiring filmmakers in the industry, Erik Franklin and Daniel Husser are embarking on their first full-length feature movie.

Their independently produced project, “Revenge of the Lost,� is well under way, with scenes shot locally and starring a Seattle-area cast, including familiar lead actors Ivey Bronwen and Eli Bradford.

Franklin, writer and director, joined Husser, director of photography, in co-producing a sci-

ence fiction adventureaction movie depicting the survival of mankind as dinosaurs reappear on Earth. Four survivors must make their way through the dinosaur apocalypse to a military base, the last safe place on Earth. Once there, they come across a plot that’s more terrifying than the dinosaurs themselves.

“We certainly put people under pressure in this move,â€? Franklin said. “Some great and unpleasant things about people will surface in this movie. ‌ We wanted to make the characters as real and as human as possible. We really don’t want it to be about the effects.â€?

Franklin, a Kentlake High School graduate, and Husser, a Kentwood grad, always wanted to pursue a legitimate, characterrich and special effectsembraced movie. They successfully made student short films in high school and produced small-scale projects as students at the Art Institute of Seattle.

The young filmmakers complement each other.

Franklin is a writer and painter, while Husser is a sculptor.

They share ideas and bring out the best in one another’s talents.

Now, on their own, they are busy making contacts and attracting support for

their project, which they hope to pull off despite a modest $63,000 budget.

Fundraising is ongoing.

To get it done, and to support the area’s film industry, they have hired an all-local cast.

To complete the movie in a timely and cost-effective manner, Franklin and Husser are shooting, splicing and editing scenes with the use of readily available equipment.

Using stop motion, puppetry and miniatures, the feature-length movie combines the best elements of traditional creature features with modern-day action, they say. “It’s a great time to be an independent filmmaker because technology has become more and more affordable,� Franklin said.

For instance, the tandem is shooting local, highdefinition-quality scenes on digital single-lens reflex cameras. Editing and effects are shaped and realized

from the view and capabilities of a laptop. �By the end of the day, you have a completed shot,�

Franklin said of the process.

The plan is to complete the film by the end of the year, have it hopefully picked up by a distributor and entered for public review, possibly the Seattle Independent Film Festival. “It’s pretty exciting,� Husser said of the effort.

Daunting? “Others tell us that we started out way too big, but really that’s what we want to do,� Husser said. “We may be a little too ambitious sometimes, but that’s what we are and that’s what we have to be to really succeed.�

To learn more or to contribute to the film project, visit www.indiegogo.com or search for “Revenge of the Lost� on Facebook.

Those who donate are eligible for prizes, including the chance to be included in a movie scene.

THS students team up to Share the Enthusiasm

BY KATHERINE SMITH ksmith@maplevalleyreporter.com

Tahoma High students from the Literature that Inspires and Advanced Video Productions classes teamed up to write and film documentaries on issues that face teens today.

The documentaries covered topics such as body image, drug abuse, bullying, inclusion of students with special needs, and the effects of media on students’ lives.

Students from the Literature that Inspires class developed the

story and scripts for each documentary and then were paired with a team of students from the Advanced Video Productions class who oversaw the cinematography, audio and editing aspects of the projects. In all, students wrote and produced six documentaries. “I loved the whole team aspect,� said Isabella Gulino, a student who worked on “MEDIAocracy.� “It was really independent. It was all us.�

Students also appreciated the chance to delve into hard subjects

and to branch out. “My favorite part was meeting all the people, hearing their stories,� said student Shawn Fowler.

Throughout the project students learned about the ins and outs of producing a documentary, asking hard questions and developing a story, which was a growth experience for Blake Colella and his classmates. “It was going through all the ups and downs together,� Colella said.

The documentaries were screened for the public at an event

titled Share the Enthusiasm at Tahoma High on Jan. 24.

A Tahoma High student catered the event for his senior project, creating hors d’oeuvres for guests.

Other high school students in digital arts and floral design created movie posters and arrangements.

Allison Agnew and Rick Haag teach the Literature that Inspires and Advanced Video Production courses at Tahoma High.

This was the third year the Literature that Inspires class has been offered at THS and teachers and administrators would like

to see the partnership grow into a new program, the THS Film Academy, which would focus on the integration of film and other subjects like social studies.

Integration of subjects and collaboration by students is a part of the bigger initiative to foster community and teamwork in the district. “This is one school,� said Terry Duty, principal of Tahoma High.

Dr. Edward Vargas, Kent School District superintendent, presented information and an update about the Kent schools.

Dr. Joe Potts, Kentlake principal, introduced the culinary students and several student speakers.

Marketing students from Kentwood High School made a presentation about their trade show scheduled for early June and encouraged business involvement.

Kentlake marketing students offered information on DECA and KL’s marketing program and asked for more business participation with their events.

Officers from Kentlake’s Future Business Leader’s of America club described some of the activities of FBLA. The chamber membership was impressed by the Kent students and thanked them for their efforts and attendance.

FORMER KW STUDENTS RETURN TO CLASSROOM In December Shannon Henderson, a Business/Computer Science teacher at Kentwood, had two former students return to KW to speak about their current successes and to encourage her current students to follow their dreams.

Elliott Brossard had taken computer science courses from Mrs. Henderson

while at Kentwood. He is finishing his master’s degree at University of Washington and already has accepted employment at Google. He discussed opportunities available to students in the field of computer science and answered questions about majoring in the field.

Luke Angevine is currently in his senior year at Point Loma University in San Diego majoring in Accounting.

Angevine has accepted a job with CBIZ Accounting Firm. Angevine was very excited about motivating Kentwood students to consider studying accounting in college.

Having past students share experiences with current students has incredible impact. Students truly listen to others who have walked in their shoes.

GUEST COMMENTARY

I hope this information provides some context on the complex process of custody disputes. Many family disputes can be resolved if the parties keep their emotions in check and take into account how they want their children to know how they handled their differences. Resolution by the involved parties is the best case solution in family law cases. Resolution by lawyers and judges acting in the best interests of the child but who have limited knowledge of a particular family’s history can provide suboptimal outcomes.

As I said earlier, disputes over custody are complex and can be very emotional. The legal process in court and the drafting and entering of pleadings can be an intricate process. If you are faced with these issues, I recommend that you consult with an experienced family law attorney to determine the best course of action.

Trial date for Ammons continued to Feb. 5 Now is a good time to dispel vaccine myths

BY DR. ALEX B. BEREZOW

It’s been a tough year for public health. The U.S. is currently facing a particularly harsh influenza season, but this virus represents only one problematic pathogen.

Another is the bacterium Bordetella pertussis, the causative agent of pertussis (whooping cough). In December, Vermont declared a pertussis epidemic. Last April, so did Washington state.

Both of these infectious diseases have vaccines

that can help keep them in check. However, as I discuss in my new book, Science Left Behind, myths surrounding vaccines live on to this day – like zombies that just refuse to die – preventing otherwise responsible people from getting vaccinated.

The influenza vaccine is hounded by the myth that it will give people the flu.

Just recently, this myth was repeated on the popular Seattle radio program The Ron & Don Show (the myth was stated by Ron and, thankfully, debunked by

first came to the district’s attention. Ammons resigned from the district in January 2012.

The court ordered that Ammons be prohibited from teaching, coaching, volunteering or holding any position of authority over minors while the case is pending.

If convicted as charged, Ammons could be sentenced up to one year in jail and fined $5,000. He also would have to register as a sex offender for a minimum of 10 years because it is a sex offense.

Don). With the injectable vaccine, this is biologically impossible because it uses dead viruses. With the nasal spray mild symptoms may develop because it uses weakened — but live — viruses.

Yet, the myth persists, probably due to two major misunderstandings. First, the word “flu� is used colloquially to refer to anything from a bad cold to food poisoning. But the influenza virus does not cause these maladies. Thus, it is possible to receive the influenza vaccine, yet still get stricken by any of several different microbes that cause the common cold or food poisoning.

Second, the influenza vaccine isn’t perfect. The CDC estimates this year’s

damage. Because of that, a new acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccine was created.

The problem, though, is that current evidence strongly indicates that the new pertussis vaccine does not work as well.

Specifically, the new vaccine does not provide immunity as long. Therefore, the combination of children who receive a less effective vaccine and an adult population who often neglects to get their pertussis booster shot (Tdap) is probably driving the uptick in pertussis cases.

Is there any chance that public health officials will switch back to the old vaccine? Probably not. In an email, University of Washington epidemiologist Jeff Duchin wrote, “Return-

concoction to be 62 percent effective. That is because multiple influenza strains circulate in the population, but the vaccine only covers three of them – picked in advance by epidemiologists who predict which strains will pose the biggest threat.

Additionally, your body needs about two weeks to mount an immune response to the vaccine, meaning you are vulnerable to infection during that time period.

The pertussis vaccine is hobbled by what, in retrospect, may have been a poor decision about 20 years ago. The old vaccine (DTwP) used whole-cell pertussis. It could certainly cause a fever, but there were also unsubstantiated claims that it caused neurological

ing to the [DTwP] vaccine that causes more side effects would not be successful if it were not acceptable to the public.�

Considering that a substantial number of people still believe vaccines cause autism, it is difficult to imagine ever switching back.

But, a thoughtful, scientifically minded public should ponder that possibility. It may very well be that the risk of using the new, less effective vaccine outweighs the risk of side effects from the old, more effective vaccine. In other words, we must decide if we want more fevers or more cases of pertussis.

In the meantime, please do your civic duty and go get your flu shot.

A trial date for a former Kent-Meridian High School teacher and track coach charged with communication with a minor for immoral purposes was continued to Feb. 5.

Ernie Ammons, 37, of Black Diamond, had been scheduled to go to trial Jan. 15, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. Attorneys can ask for more time to prepare a case and get a trial continued.

Ammons pleaded not guilty to the charge in December 2011. He is free on bail.

King County prosecutors charge that Ammons sent sexually explicit text messages to a 16-year-old girl at the school. Ammons taught health and physical education at Kent-Meridian. He also coached boys and girls track and cross country at the school.

The Kent School District placed Ammons on paid administrative leave in November 2011 when the allegations
