dinner and auction is by far their largest moneymaker. The night will include multiple auctions, both silent and live, as well as a performance by The Gothard Sisters, a trio of accomplished Celtic musicians. The Gothard Sisters have been performing together for about seven years. Their Irish style of song and dance will be perfectly suited for the fundraiser, which
is taking place less than a week after St. Patrick’s Day, said Henschell. The sisters have performed at the Bonney Lake Days Festival and the Puyallup Fair several times in the past. This year, however, the Edmonds-based sisters have a national tour of 23 states. Though they’ll be around for four days at the Spring Fair, they won’t have any time to spend in Bonney Lake for the remainder
of the year. Greta Gothard encouraged everyone to come out for Death by Chocolate. “I think Bonney Lake is great,” she said. “I totally support what the Lions do and I really hope everyone comes out to support them with us.” Dinner will be prepared by the Culinary Arts Club, led by Prostart Teacher of the Year, Kahale Ahina.

friends,” said Princess Taylor Friend. As official ambassadors of Pierce County, the princesses will make public appearances throughout the year. As official ambassadors of Pierce County, the princesses will make public appearances throughout the year.

Bonney Lake 2012 crime down 4.6 percent By Daniel Nash Staff Writer
Reported crime dropped 4.6 percent in 2012 compared to 2011, according to a report released by the Bonney Lake Police Department on March 13. The report was compiled from the National Incident Based Reporting System,
a program that enters data from crimes known to police into a database for statistical tracking. The Federal Bureau of Investigation collects data from 22 Group A categories — compiled from 46 specific “more serious” crimes — and 11 “less serious” Group B categories. The Bonney Lake report
included percentage changes in crimes reported from 2011, four-year trends in crimes, four-year trends in specific domestic violence offenses, the breakdown of adult and juvenile arrests over the past three years. It also broke down Group A criminal categories into 23 categories, rather than 22, differentiating simple and

a home less attractive to burglars.” Significant drops were seen in reported assaults, aggravated assault and simple assault alike. Aggravated assault dropped 45.8 percent, from 24 to 13 reported incidents. Simple assault fell 24.1 percent, from 112 to 85. Sex offenses and simple assault have both seen clear downward trends in the past four years. The former began at 26 reports in 2009, to 16, to 13, to seven. The latter began at 198 in 2009, to 116, to 112, to 85 in 2012; more than a 57 percent drop over the fouryear period. Driving under the influence citations saw a drastic 55 percent decline from 77 in 2011 to 35 in 2012, but the department isn’t resting on its laurels in that category, Powers said. “For the most part, we’re going to start focusing more on traffic patrols,” she said. “We want to have a physical emphasis in the city, because I’m concerned people who are drinking and driving are still out

“Overall, that’s why I love the city of Bonney Lake: our crimes are roughly more of the property style of crimes, while there aren’t many crimes that harm people,” Chief Dana Powers said, later adding: “That’s what I’d look for if I were looking at moving to the city. Personal crimes I’d be concerned about if I were moving here.” For the most part, property crimes remained stagnant or went down, with the major exception of burglaries. Burglaries rose 33 percent from 91 reports in 2011 to 121 in 2012. Compounding matters is that burglaries carry a low solvability rate, Power said. Bonney Lake, particularly, is a bedroom community with neighborhoods in many different low visibility forested areas. “Bonney Lake is a growing city, and more people equates to more burglaries,” Powers said. “So the important thing becomes education. We have officers coming in and talking to homeowners associations to give tips on looking for and reporting suspicious activity, and how to make

aggravated assault. Of the 23 categories of Group A crimes, 13 were down in 2012, six rose, and four remained the same. Some categories were merely ebbs and flows in uncommon or otherwise rarely reported crimes; the kind that typically end the year in the single digits. However, the low-report crimes were usually the most grave offenses. Robbery, intimidation and arson, for example, all rose by significant percentages; but in terms of nominal reporting, robbery rose from four to seven reports, intimidation from one to three, and arson from two to five. Similarly scaled drops occurred in forcible sex offenses, from 13 to seven; non-force sex offenses, from two to zero; kidnapping, from three to one; and extortion, from one to zero. The number of reports for murder and non-negligent manslaughter remained at one from 2011 to 2012, the Mary Mushapaidzi murder and the November shooting death of a home invader having occurred in those years, respectively.

VEHICLE PROWL: At 10:04 p.m. March 2, an officer was dispatched to a reported vehicle prowl at O’Reilly Auto Parts. A manager reported the business’s delivery trucks had been broken into, a fact discovered when the drivers checked the trucks that morning. They had been parked in a dark area of the parking lot overnight. The only items missing were disposable cameras. Photographs of damage to the vehicle locks were placed into evidence. WARRANT ARREST: At 12:25 a.m. March 5, an officer observed expired tabs
on a sedan traveling on 214th Avenue East. The officer initiated an emergency stop and the driver advised the vehicle was not hers. She was also unable to provide a license, the vehicle registration, or the vehicle’s proof of insurance. A records check showed the vehicle’s registration had expired in February, that the driver’s license had been suspended and that she had a warrant for her arrest issued by the Tacoma Police Department. She was placed under arrest and transferred into Tacoma PD’s custody at a midway point in Puyallup. Before she was taken away, she was issued a Bonney Lake citation for driving on a See blotter, Page 26

The number of 2012 drug reports were less than a third of the 2010 peak. Reports of embezzlement, pornography and obscene materials, and bribery all remained at zero.

Not to state the obvious, but there is no single educational path that is right for everyone. For some students it will be attending a college or university, earning a bachelor’s degree and perhaps going on to a master’s, even a doctorate.

This is the final part of a threepart series on the Washington State University Forest. The first segment was an overview of the history of the forest up to the big windstorm of Feb. 17, 2006. Part two dealt with the closure of the forest and Quadrant and WSU’s attempts to come up with a mutually agreed upon plan for development of the forest. Quadrant came back with yet another proposal in 2009 and a different negotiator from Quadrant, Pete Lymberis, assistant vice-president for the Quadrant Corporation. And again council members reactions were mixed and mad. The public stopped short of a sign waving protest this time. But many people attended and testified at numerous city meetings about the 2009 proposal. Sometimes it was standing room only. Of course the first sticking point, as on the previous proposals that failed, was the loss of a central park full of trees and trails in the middle of the city, whose population went from 7,494 in 1990 and has more than doubled to 17,374 with annexations of Eastown, the ridge

above Kelley Farm and all the other neighborhoods that were not even built yet on that 1987 Chamber of Commerce map I mentioned in part one. Another differing point of view was the density of homes with narrow streets that hamper emergency response. Sewer capacity was questioned. There was a tug of war about a YMCA or a community center. Another big sticking point was traffic impacts, especially on SR 410. The plan called for a traffic light between 208th and 198th/South Prairie Road intersection. The outcry was Bonney Lake doesn’t want to be another South Hill. In a letter from then governor Christine Gregoire dated Aug. 8,
2006, she reiterated Washington state Department of Transportation’s position established in a previous e-mail to the city “Currently, traffic lights at South Prairie Road and 208th are little more than a half-mile apart. Adding an additional light, where existing traffic signals already are fairly close together, could slow traffic even more. Safety also is a factor. Adding a signal at that location would entail removing existing concrete barriers, which could increase the possibility of injury accidents.” In the meantime, MultiCare Good Samaritan Hospital was anxious to build their Medical Office Building so they could avoid renewing their lease on the Woodcreek building and expand into a larger space within the city. This new building created construction jobs and more jobs added due to the larger space than the original clinic. The building is the first constructed in the forest. The entrance is off of South Prairie Road. It is an asset to have medical services on the plateau and the jobs the facility

Carter FROM 6 provides. The Courier-Herald determined the WSU Forest development agreement was the No. 4 story in 2009. It said: WSU Forest development agreement The Bonney Lake City Council voted 6-1 to approve a development agreement between the city, Washington State University and Weyerhaeuser for more than 150 acres of land south of state Route 410 between South Prairie Road and 214th Avenue East. Council members voted 4-3 earlier at the Dec. 22 meeting against the agreement, but later approved the agreement after agreeing not to have a traffic signal at 204th Avenue and 410. Some residents voiced their opposition during a public hearing hosted by the council and Planning Commission. Bonney Lake Mayor Neil Johnson announced June 19 the city, Washington State University and Weyerhaeuser planned to develop the 150-acre property to meet a variety of community goals. The acreage dedicated to the city would include 35 acres of trees/open space, five acres for buffer/trails, two acres for a park and five for a future YMCA with a pool. Quadrant, on behalf of WSU and Weyerhaeuser, submitted an application to begin the process for seeking approval of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment and rezone for the former Demonstration Forest. The university owned the property since 1941 when it was deeded to WSU by Weyerhaeuser for a Demonstration Forest. The deed included a clause that would return the property to Weyerhaeuser if WSU decided to use the land for other purposes. WSU and Weyerhaeuser agreed to pursue the necessary landuse entitlements needed to gain project approval. When approved, certain identified lands will be dedicated to the city and the remainder of property will be offered for sale. Quadrant served as agent for the redevelopment plan. I was the one no vote. I
Two area districts, Kent and Tahoma, have visions of partnering with local community colleges and tech schools. Tahoma hopes to build a new high school around the idea of having different vocational tracks. Kentlake High has plans to start a pre-nursing certification program in the fall. I believe these programs
will have good things to offer students and our communities at large. However, I also think that caution is in order lest we end up with the exact same problem, just in reverse. Ultimately it comes down to this: students need to know the reality that awaits them when they choose a path. Want to attend a univer-
wanted the central park to remain entirely public facilities. I didn’t want to be South Hill. I didn’t like the 5-9 homes per acre density. I wanted a YMCA or community center. I wanted to walk in the woods on a hot summer day with my dog and it would be cool and quiet, an oasis in the city. I wanted to watch the birds in the tree canopy. I thought other parts of the city, like Eastown, Cedargrove, Cedarview and others, should be in line first for sewer. And I thought that is what I heard all those people who live here on the plateau and took the time to come to meetings and speak their voice said to me. I was people driven. In June 2010, the city accepted the deed to the 40-acre park from Weyerhaeuser and Washington State University. It is to become a park with something for everyone. In July 2010, council members Jim Rackley, Donn Lewis and Randy McKibbon represented the council at the groundbreaking for the new MultiCare facility. The old facility sits virtually empty on the north side of SR 410, much like the now empty Albertson’s across the street. Rackley said “the new medical building was as important to the city as the new Interim Justice Center being built in the downtown section of the city.” “This completes a circle of businesses and services that a city needs,” Rackley said after the ceremony. “It’s just another stage of us becoming a city.” Bonney Lake Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Lora Butterfield agreed. “I think it’s going to be a real boost to the community, the business community especially,” she said. The agreement allowed for the reopening of the forest until development happens. The park land owned by the city has been named Midtown Park. During Park Appreciation Day April 20 and Beautify Bonney Lake Sept. 21 volunteers pick up litter and clear trails in the forest. The trailhead is between
Fred Meyer and the Regal Cinemas. There are trails to be used. Use them while you can! Be a volunteer. Visit the city website for details or call Gary Leaf at 253-447-3282. Plants have been salvaged for the native plant sales in areas that are to be developed through Pierce Conservation District 253-845-9770. Call them if you are interested in harvesting or purchasing native plants. Albertson’s, the next door neighbor of the WSU Forest is now closed. Some think it should be used as a bowling alley, a fun center, a community center. As of the time I wrote this column, Feb. 17, the anniversary of the big wind, the city has not issued any permits for remodeling. Some have suggested the city put a community center there. That would take funds the city does not have budgeted for a community center or to develop Midtown Park. The City Council has given the voters the opportunity to put a metropolitan park district in place to generate revenue dedicated to parks on the April 23, 2013 ballot. There is an information page set up on the city website or call Gary Leaf 253-447-3282.

lege isn’t for everyone and not every career requires a four-year degree. Technical schools and community colleges can be great options as well. Yes, they will prepare you for a job in a short amount of time, but students need to know that often those programs prepare them for a single job. To advance often requires additional education or cer-
tification. Students need to understand these things when they are making decisions about the future. If they understand those realities and are prepared for them, then the school systems are doing what they are intended to do. After that, it’s up to each student whether they sink or swim.

Is joint replacement surgery right for you? By Dr. David Bishop For The Courier-Herald
Many people older than 40 have been tough on their knees, hips and other joints all their lives through activities like jogging, playing tennis or racquetball. In a quest to stay active and reduce pain, an ever-growing number of people are now turning to joint replacement surgery. Is orthopedic surgery, like knee or hip replacement, right for you? Only your primary-care physician and an orthopedic surgeon can determine the appropriate course of treatment. Even though joint replacements have a high success rate, you should take alternative steps to protect your
Dr. David Bishop
joints. The Arthritis Foundation and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons suggest the following: • Maintain a healthy weight: losing extra pounds reduces stress, wear and tear on your knees, hips, back and
feet. • Exercise regularly: Physical activity protects your joints by strengthening the muscles that support them. • Swap high-impact sports for lowimpact activities: Instead of tennis or running, trying walking, swimming and/ or playing golf. • Avoid repetitive stress: Alternating
strenuous activities with rest puts less stress on sensitive joints. • Use over-the-counter or prescription medications to control pain and inflammation: You should also ask your primary care physician about the benefits of receiving injections of corticosteroids directly into painful knee joints. • Take part in physical or occupational therapy: This can increase joint flexibility, muscle strength and range of motion. • Use mechanical aids: Braces, crutches, walkers and/or canes may offer some help. In the best of circumstances, these lifestyle changes may be enough to improve function and control pain in your hips, knees and other joints. Talk with your doctor about possible
joint replacement if joint pain is disturbing your sleep; noninvasive therapy, including pain medications, is not controlling your pain; joint pain is limiting your ability to keep up with your daily chores and routine; or if joint pain makes it difficult for you to get out of a chair, climb stairs or get out of bed. Through the years, surgical techniques have improved significantly and new materials have been developed for implants. As a result, joint replacement surgery has become one of the most dependable procedures performed today. Also, the Joint Camp program at Franciscan Health System hospitals helps to reduce patients’ anxiety about joint

By Grant and Cathy Pritchard Question: Does cooking food in a microwave cause nutrient loss? Answer: This is a great question because microwaves are pervasive throughout society. In fact,
they’re a staple in almost every kitchen. Despite their popularity, many people are convinced that radiation from microwaves destroys nutrients. Thankfully, research does not back this up. The primary determinants of nutrient loss are cook time, cook temperature and the amount of liq-

are planning to purchase a new bike, buy it from a bike shop rather than a department store or warehouse club. You may pay more initially, but will receive greater value over time with a good fit and quality. Wear a pair of cycling shorts with a cushion in the seat area or cycling underwear with a padded liner to mitigate the initial pain of the saddle. Most riders need a few rides to align their body with the saddle. Always wear a properly fitting helmet and eye protection. Not only is this for safety but it’s the law in many cities. Move indoors for stationary cycling when the weather is bad and you can’t ride during daylight.

uid used. In other words, any form of cooking can lead to nutrient loss, but microwaving is actually a better option. Microwaves do a great job of heating your food very quickly and microwaves heat at temperatures that are lower than most other forms of cooking. The water-soluble vitamins, B-complex and C, are easily the most susceptible to heat, and are commonly

Question: I’ve never been the best sleeper. Is this having a negative impact on my overall health? Answer: Unfortunately, yes, it probably is. There is a lot of emerging research revolving around sleep (or the lack thereof) and its associated health implications. There’s some data now indicating that those who get just one night of poor sleep end up with abnormal lab values indicative of pre-diabetes. That’s right, pre-diabetes. Folks with poor sleep cycles can end up with suppressed
rupt your training schedule. Work on consistency, attempt to maintain a steady pace or rpm (rotations per minute) no matter what terrain you are riding on. This may be easier to understand practicing on a stationary bike. Purchase a good pump, tube and
basic tools and learn how to use them. You will be more confident knowing that you can make minor repairs while on the road. Which leads us to the next point... Know how to fix a flat tire. You will feel a lot more comfortable riding, knowing that in a pinch you can fix your own
insulin secretion after a meal, which leaves them with elevated blood sugar levels for far too long. They also have lowered resting metabolic rates, which could ultimately contribute to weight gain as well. Other researchers have discovered that hundreds of genes get disrupted after just one week of suboptimal sleep, thereby impairing the body’s ability to heal itself. Chronic sleep problems have been associated with heart attacks, stroke, diabetes, and obesity for years, but now we’re starting to see direct observations in the laboratory setting. In the end, optimal sleep is just as important as your fitness level and your nutritional status when it comes to overall health, so try to get at least 8 hours a night, and more when you can.
per week consistently, but my strength gains have flatlined. How do I continue to get stronger? Answer: Despite not having much information to go on here, let’s see if I can provide some insight. First of all, there’s the distinct possibility that you’re working out too much. Maybe your volume (the combination of sets and reps) is too high—a common problem for those looking to gain strength as quickly as possible. And how long has it been since you’ve taken some time off to allow your body to fully recuperate from the stress of exercise? Some much-needed rest may do the trick and, amazingly, people often come back even stronger. I also wonder if you’re changing up your workouts enough. Many people get into the habit of using machines or free weights, but then never

Trails are a great way to develop bike handling skills and feel safe. gravitate toward other forms of exercise. Cables, tubing, bands, kettle bells, medicine balls and even bodyweight exercises can all increase strength, so you should try to vary up your routine regularly. Lastly, you have to remember that strength doesn’t just increase exponentially on a continual basis. There is a threshold that you’ll reach at some point, and you could be there already. If you feel like you need help with your current program, talk to a certified personal trainer.

Hornet gymnast goes national By Theresa De Lay Staff Writer
Randi Schorzman is among five students at the University of WisconsinStout who have qualified for the National Collegiate Gymnastics Association Championships. Schorzman graduated from White River High School in 2012. Since the school didn’t offer a team for her to practice with, she participated in club gymnastics. She participated in Enumclaw Gymnastics from ages 6 to 13. From there, she transferred to Auburn Gymnastics Center. In 2011 she qualified for nationals but didn’t place. She currently has a career high score of 9.50 on the vault and 9.575 on the beam. Fast forward to Schorzman’s freshman year of college; she’s feverishly gearing up to compete in both beam and vault this weekend at the University
of Wisconsin-Whitewater. She practices at least four times a week for about four hours a day. There isn’t much to do in Wisconsin, she said, but that’s OK because it ensures that she stays focused on school and gymnastics. That doesn’t stop Schorzman from enjoying herself. She likes shopping, frisbee and hanging out with her friends. She tries to eat healthy but she doesn’t hold herself to a strict diet or fitness regimen. “I don’t gorge on chocolate,” she said. “But other than that, it’s a normal diet.” College life isn’t always fun, it can be a challenge and a little lonely at times, she said.

Panthers take Spartans By Daniel Nash Staff Writer
Bonney Lake’s boys soccer team opened the preseason with some fancy footwork, defeating the Sumner Spartans 2-0 Tuesday in nonleague play. Both Panther goals were shot in the first half, by Zach Jones at the six-minute mark and Tyler John at the 17-minute mark. Jonah Phillips assisted both. The Panthers next game is scheduled for Friday against Evergreen High School of Vancouver. It will be played at home at 2 p.m.

The track and field season got off to a roaring start for White River High, as both the boys and girls teams easily whipped the Washington Patriots. The programs paired off Thursday afternoon under cloudy skies on the Buckley campus. White River’s boys defeated the Patriots 90-41
WRHS Track and the Hornet girls were even more decisive, winning 104-39. A highlight of the afternoon was the boys 110meter high hurdles, which featured two of the state’s best. In the end, White River’s Devin Liebel edged Washing ton’s Victor Gamboa, clocking a time of 14.47 seconds to Gamboa’s 14.53. Liebel was a two-time winner, also taking the 300-meter hurdle race. Other Hornet boys claiming top honors were Nick Wells, who won both the 100-meter and 200meter dash; Chris Fisher, tops in both the 800 and 1,600 meters; Austin May, 400 meters; Wes Fueston, 3,200 meters; Scott Anderson, shot put; Andrew Northam, long jump; Spencer Wilson, pole vault; Sean Hayes, javelin; and both the 400and 1,600-meter relay teams. Leading the way for the Hornet girls was Jade Crawford, who won three events on the day. She topped the field in both the 100- and 300-meter hurdle races, as well as the high jump. Other winners for the White River girls were Kacy Coyle, 3,200 meters; Johnna Coughlin, 100 and 200 meters; Madison Moser, 800 and 1,600 meters; Maddi Stinson, 400 meters; Amanda Lance, long jump; Madison Budinich, triple jump and pole vault; Megan Miller, javelin; and both the 400- and 800-meter relay teams.

The next-generation Ford’s Fusion represents a merging of high-fashion style with game- altering fuel economy, with significant technological treats coming along for the ride. The sedan’s primary eye-catcher is the dramatic roofline, suggesting kinship with the Audi A7, Volkswagen CC and CLS-class Mercedes-Benz. Another design highlight is the open-mouth grille that greatly differs from the previous triple-bar fixture. The Fusion’s fashion statement extends to the cabin, with its fancier trim, comfier seats and a freshly pressed control panel. The tailors at Ford also let out the Fusion’s pants and lengthened the cuffs a bit. The distance between the front and rear wheels increases by five inches and the width and height by about an inch. Trunk room is the only reduction spot (likely due to a shorter deck), but only by about six percent. The Fusion joins the Hyundai Sonata and 2013 Chevrolet Malibu in abandoning a V6 option, but eventually there will be no fewer than five distinctive engine picks, including two Prius-like gasolineelectric hybrid systems. It all begins with a 170-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, while1.6- and 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder “EcoBoost” engines, worth 179 and 237-horsepower, respectively, are optional with the latter a requirement for all-wheel-drive Fusions. The 1.6 is billed as the thriftiest of the three, but in terms of fuel savings, the Hybrid and all-new Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid are really where it’s at. They arrive in the first quarter of 2013. Both employ a 141-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder combined with an electric motor to produce 188 net horsepower. The system increases maximum electriconly velocity to 62 mph from the previous 47, and resets the fuel-economy bar to 47 mph city and 44 highway from 41/36. The Hybrid also bests the league-topping Toyota Camry Hybrid’s 43/39 rating. The Fusion Energi plug ‘n’ play model use the same basic tech as the Hybrid, but Ford is projecting a 100-mpg equivalency rating with an as yet-to-be specified all-electric range. Newly available communications and safety content includes keep-you-inline lane-monitoring system, keep-yourdistance adaptive cruise control, confidence-boosting parking-spot assist and shoulder-check-augmenting blind spot and cross-traffic alerts. Buyers can also order the latest version of Ford’s “SYNC” voicecontrolled communications and entertainment wizard.

plan that nails it for style and fuel-pump avoidance.
Ford’s latest Escape represents a clean-sheet design-and-content approach to satisfy the needs of multi-continent buyers. The sleeker look is radically different from the outgoing version’s boxiness, however its slightly larger dimensions have resulted in greater rear-seat room plus slightly more passenger and cargo volume with the rear seat in place or folded flat. The interior is certainly inviting, with an attractively segmented gauge/control panel with asymmetric air vents. The floor shifter’s position at the base of the dashboard partially blocks the heating/ventilation controls, but makes the area designated for cupholders and armrest/storage more accessible. The up-level Titanium model features well-bolstered front seats that are a major advancement over earlier Escapes. The base front-wheel-drive S model runs with a 168-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder, while the front- and all-wheel-drive SE designation uses a 178-horsepower 1.6-liter turbocharged “EcoBoost” four-cylinder. A 237-horsepower turbo four-cylinder (also from Ford’s “EcoBoost” engine lineup) is standard on the SEL and Titanium trims. A hybrid version won’t be available this time since Ford’s C-Max hybrid wagon uses that drive system. Sadly for a few “Escapees”, the six-speed manual gearbox has shifted away from the Escape lineup, leaving only a six-speed automatic (with a detent for manual gear selection) as the sole transmission. A new “Intelligent” all-wheel-drive system can be ordered with the turbocharged models. It continually assesses road conditions and driver inputs “about 20 times faster than the blink of an eye” and can shift up to 100 percent of the available power to either the front or rear wheels for maximum grip. The Escape is the first Ford to offer both Torque Vectoring Control and Curve Control to help distribute the correct amount of power to each wheel when cornering so that the vehicle maintains its intended path. A dashboard display screen lets the driver know where the power is being distributed. The new-tech gear extends to the option sheet, which is understandably lengthy, considering the Escape’s four distinct trims. But the most unique option is the power lifgate that automatically opens and closes when you shake your foot hokey pokey-style beneath the bumper (great when your hands are full of kids and/ or groceries).
Base price: $22,470
The C-Max and its plug-in Energi counterpart represent Ford’s first dedicated hybrid brand. They’re based on Ford’s compact Focus architecture and have the same distance between the front and rear wheels and overall length as the Focus. However the C-Max is more than four-inches wider and half a foot taller, making it ideal for hauling people and their gear. Visually, the C-Max also shares a definite kinship with the Focus, notwithstanding the massive windshield that provides an unencumbered vista for all passengers. Cargo space is about equal to that of the Toyota Prius v wagon, but with the rear seat folded flat the C-Max has nearly one-third more space than its chief rival. Note, however that the C-Max Energi, with its more massive power system reduces overall cargo volume by about 20 percent. The flight-deck-style dashboard and control panel on both would look at home in the Starship Enterprise. The center stack houses an eight-inch touch-screen for climate, audio, hands-free phone and navigation controls and doubles as a backup camera that’s also standard. Meanwhile the gauge pod provides real-time fuel-economy readouts and driving efficiency as indicated by the number of green leaves displayed on an adjacent screen. There’s also a “Brake Coach” to help drivers maximize the regenerative braking system, keep the lithium-ion batteries topped up and maximize driving range. The C-Max and C-Max Energi hybrid’s powertrains consist of a 2.0-liter fourcylinder that produces 141 horsepower that works in tandem with a 106-horsepower (estimated) electric motor. The net system output is rated at 188 horsepower, which is 54 more ponies than the competing Prius v. A continuously variable transmission (CVT) sends the torque to the front wheels. Fuel economy is 47 mpg for both city and highway, compared with 44 city and 40 highway for the Prius v. Ford claims the Energi can run up to 85 mph on battery power alone and more than triple the Prius Plug-in’s maximum electric-only range (20 versus six miles). The base C-Max SE includes dual-zone climate control, 17-inch alloy wheels and seven airbags. The SEL adds leather seats (heated in front), 10-way power driver’s seat, rain-sensing wipers and satellite radio. Optional is a hands-free backup parking assist and a power liftgate that opens and closes by shaking your foot (a kicking motion, actually) beneath the bumper. The Energi plug-in lists for about $30,000 (including a $7,700 federal tax credit).

ter four-cylinder connected to a five-speed manual transmission or optional twin-clutch automated manual; ST adds turbo and extra gear to handle 252 horses; optional all-electric drivetrain with 143-horsepower motor. After finally including North America in the new 2012 Focus party, Ford is aggressively expanding the guest list from both ends of the social spectrum. The new ST performance model takes all the positives of the new Focus and then adds a list of improvements aimed at buyers who would consider a Volkswagen GTI. The 2.0-liter “EcoBoost” turbocharged four-cylinder produces 252 horsepower and even features overboost with a giant slug of mid-range torque added. The ST is still front-wheel drive, but uses a stiffer suspension, bigger and stickier tires and a variety of electronic systems to make it a true back-road hero. The ST gets unique parts inside and out, including more supportive seats and only comes with a six-speed manual transmission. The other newcomer is the Focus Electric that features a 107-kilowatt (143-horsepower) motor and lithium-ion battery pack that can deliver a range of 76 miles. Ford claims that recharging takes just three to four hours from a 240-volt home station available for about $1,500 from electronics retailer Best Buy. Like the ST, the Focus Electric stands out from regular Focii thanks to an Aston Martin-esque grille and headlights, along with special wheels, low-rolling-resistance tires and other wind-cheating aids. Like other modern electrics, the Focus isn’t inexpensive with an MSRP of $39,200 before tax rebates and other incentives, but there aren’t many downsides if you can afford it. Both new Focus models only come in four-door hatchback form, but the “regular” cars can be had as sedans. That’s because it’s the only style available if you order the price-leader “S” that comes with manual climate control, tilt and telescopic steering wheel and basic four-speaker audio system and 15-inch steel wheels. The SE, SEL and Titanium trims get progressively more expensive for both sedan and hatchback. For the fuel conscious who don’t want to stretch up to the Electric, the optional SFE package - with its aero wheel covers, grille shutters, high-efficiency tires, four-wheel disc brakes and a rear spoiler - will achieve a 40-mpg highway rating. The standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is rated at 160 horsepower and 146 pound-feet of torque. A five-speed manual transmission is standard on all models, while optional is a sixspeed dual-clutch automated manual gearbox. All models arrive with torque vectoring, which is a system that applies light braking pressure to slow down the inside wheel when the car is turning. This helps the Focus attack the corners with more precision by reducing the tendency to plow straight ahead (referred to as understeer).

Drivetrain: Base 1.8-liter four-cylinder and optional 1.4-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engines both make 138 horsepower, but the turbo has way more lowspeed spunk; both manual and optional automatic transmissions are of the sixspeed variety.

horses. And it also earns the same 17/25 mpg rating as the old V6 which means no penalties for that extra power. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard with either engine. A wide assortment of standard equipment (air conditioning, cruise control, keyless remote entry and power windows/locks/mirrors, etc.) comes in base versions, as does a new seven-inch touchscreen to work the standard audio system; moving up into the top-line models adds climate control, heated leather seats, 18- or 19-inch wheels, extra trim, and premium audio. With its friendly interior and thrifty power options, including a new optional safety package with collision alert, lane-departure warning and rear-park assist for 2013, the Equinox projects a more fashionable presence and one that appears eager to pack up the gang and tackle the tasks at hand.

The Equinox is Chevrolet’s biggest bright spot through all its restructuring and replanning, and it’s no mystery why. Clever touches abound in the design, like the integrated rocker panels in the doors that reduce entry step-over height. (They also help keep pant legs from brushing up against the vehicle’s lower body area.) The interior is likely the Equinox’s best asset. It’s simply gorgeous and includes dual gloveboxes, easy-to-read twin gauges set in large pods and plenty of handy storage bins. There’s also a versatile split folding rear seat that can be adjusted fore and aft over an eight-inch range to optimize legroom or cargo capacity. A 182-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder reigns as a base engine, with its 21/32 mpg city/ highway fuel economy that embarrasses some competitors. New for 2013 is an optional 3.6-liter V6 with 301 horsepower that outclasses the old 3.0-liter unit by 45

2013 BUICK VERANO
Chevrolet’s popular compact Cruze continues to stretch its value even further with new standard equipment and some attractive option packages. The biggest changes include a MyLink radio (that streams music via Bluetooth), voice recognition and compatibility with Pandora Internet radio. A new seven-inch color touch stereo with navigation and USB port can be had on virtually every model, while new driver convenience packages include a number of useful options such as power seats, auto-dimming rearview mirrors, rear-vision camera and more. The rest of the interior remains a highly attractive seating area that wouldn’t look out of place in a more expensive sedan. There are plastic pieces to be sure, but they’re more than offset by plenty of soft-touch coverings for the wrap-around dashboard and silvery painted trim for the steering column, door-mounted speaker surrounds, steering wheel and shifter. Given the added size and fancier seating area, it’s surprising that the Cruze’s standard and optional powerplants are so diminutive. The base car is equipped with a 1.8-liter four-cylinder that produces 138 horsepower and 123 pound-feet of torque. Move up to the LT and LTZ you’ll
get and a smaller - less is more here - 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that’s also rated at 138 horsepower but with 25 pound-feet more torque than the base engine. The 1.8 offers a choice of a six-speed manual transmission, or optional six-speed automatic, while the 1.4 turbo is only available with the automatic. Continuing unchanged is the Eco model that uses the turbo engine with low-rolling-resistance tires, tweaks to the aerodynamics and other fuel-saving measures. The result? Fuel-economy ratings of 28/42 with taller ratios in the six-speed manual and a still-impressive 26/39 with the automatic. All Cruze models feature 10 airbags, including driver and passenger-side knee airbags plus rear side-impact airbags. In addition, the standard stability control includes a rollover-sensing program that will deploy the airbags if it detects the car is about to tip over. Notable new safety options include available rear park assist, blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert, which is really useful when backing out in a busy parking lot. And we’re still waiting to see a hatchback version of the Cruze sometime soon.

The thought of an eight-seat Buick people-mover being popular would have been laughed at a decade ago. But the stylish, luxurious Enclave is a genuine hit. For 2013, gets a thorough refresh inside and out. Everything forward of the A-pillar is all new, including sharper headlamps, LED running lights and more prominent fenders. The rear is familiar, although now accented by light-emitting-diode (LED) taillights. The vehicle’s impressive utility is unchanged thanks to three rows of seats with room for either seven or eight riders, depending on configuration. The second row slides to provide access to the spacious back row that’s actually habitable by adults. A twist of the key fires a 288-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 that operates through a six-speed automatic transmission. The Enclave begins as a front-wheel-driver, but all-wheel-drive is optional. As befits a Buick, the Enclave is all about luxury as well as practicality. Even base models include enough features to make German-
car owners jealous, and the Enclave’s new instrument panel, ambient lighting and softer materials will make them even more steamed. Safety is covered with seven airbags (including the industry’s first center-mounted airbag that protects from off-side crashes), a rear back-up camera, traction and stability control (to prevent a skid or spin) and a year’s worth of OnStar, GM’s satellite-based live-voice assistance center. New safety tech for 2013 includes available blind-spot warnings and rear cross-traffic alerts. Moving up the trim ladder adds perforated-leather seats (heated in front) with memory, 19or 20-inch wheels and fancier trim. A wide assortment of features can be ladled on such as DVD navigation, skylight-style sunroof, a new 10-speaker touch-screen audio package and a DVD entertainment system. Heated and cooled driver and front passenger seats can be had as a stand-alone option.

The minivan category’s high-selling glory days are well behind it, but demand for these rigs as a logical choice for families and as grandkid haulers for empty nesters remains strong. That’s especially true for Chrysler-built Town & Country and Grand Caravan units as well as key competitors Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna. However if price is the object, combined with plenty of space and decent performance, the Grand Caravan has to be considered a top pick. Since its 2011 model-year updating, the GC now drives more securely and frugally with a revised suspension topped with low-rolling-resistance tires to help prop up fuel economy. At the same time, the interior was upgraded with new gauges and soft-touch dashboard and doorpanel surfaces replacing hard plastic. The 3.6-liter “Pentastar” V6 that was introduced at the same time produces 283 horsepower and, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, easily runs with the minivan herd for fuel consumption. Inside, you’ll find the usual dozen or so cupholders plus a variety of small-item bins and pockets (including dual glove boxes) that showcase the vehicle’s utility. The standard third-row split-folding bench seat can be power folded (as an option) to create a flat load floor. The Stow ‘n’ Go feature comes with a one-touchdown feature and provides out-of-sight storage bins when the second-row seats are left in their upright positions. The price-leading American Value Package (AVP), heads the list of trim levels that also includes SE, SXT, Crew and the sporty R/T. The AVP rings in at $21,000 and includes most of the basic features and safety systems you’d expect. At the top end, the $31,000 R/T comes with a tighter suspension. To get the extra-cost high-definition Blu-Ray video system you need to opt for the R/T or the Crew trim levels.
extended-length version of the Jeep Grand Cherokee with room for seven passengers across three rows of seats.
The Durango abandoned its old-school body-on-frame construction used on earlier versions, but that hasn’t discouraged buyers from selecting it for various work and recreational tasks. Plus its macho exterior leaves the impression that it dines on Ford Explorers or Chevrolet Traverses anytime it wants. The big “D” has been designed off the Jeep Grand Cherokee’s unitized (frameless) platform. Also highly regarded is its 290-horsepower V6 - standard on the SXT and Crew models - as well as the optional 360-horsepower V8 installed in the R/T and range-topping Citadel models. The “Hemi” features a variable-displacement system that reduces fuel consumption by shutting down half of the engine’s eight cylinders under light-load conditions. The V6 connects to a five-speed automatic transmission, while the V8 uses a six-speed automatic with manual shift controls. V8 Durangos can tow up to 7,400 pounds (6,200 pounds for the V6) and can also carry up to seven passengers when using all three rows of seats, although second-row twin high-back bucket seats can also be specified. And since the same designers who penned the GC’s interior also created the Durango’s interior, comfort and roominess are also first rate. Along with four-wheel-drive, Durango options include a system that signals you when another vehicle is about to overtake or is traveling in your blind spot(s). Another system alerts you when cross traffic is approaching from behind as you’re backing out of a parking stall. Dodge also brags that the Durango’s big fuel tank allows you to travel up to 500 miles without making a pit stop . . . for fuel, that is. For 2013, the SXT can be ordered with a Rallye Appearance Group that comes with 20-inch polished wheels, black-bezel headlamps and body-colored cladding and sill moldings.

The Dodge Avenger might not be near the top of the sedan leader board, but its tall wagon counterpart Journey scores a hole-in-one as a practical, efficient and affordable carrier. The Journey has just-right sizing going for it, which means its more compact than a Chevrolet Traverse or Ford Explorer, but larger than a Mitsubishi Outlander or Toyota RAV4. These rigs offer standard or optional third-row seating, but all are considerably more expensive than the $20,000 (base price) Journey. In base trim, there’s seating for five people, although there’s an available two-place third-row 50/50 split bench. There are also some other clever interior storage options such as a front passenger seat with a flip-forward hinged cushion that’s ideal for concealing cameras, purses and other valuables. And all models feature two in-floor storage compartments with removable plastic liners behind the front seats that are large enough to hold a dozen beverage cans each, plus ice. And don’t forget the chilled storage bin inside the glove compartment that can keep a couple of cool beverages at the ready. Although influenced by the Dodge Avenger sedan, this roomier derivation has about four more inches between the front and rear wheels and an eight-inch height advantage, but with an overall length that’s just a touch greater. Also shared with the Avenger is a 173-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder with four-speed automatic in base models. Optional is a 283-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 with a six-speed auto. There are five 2013 trim levels (American Value Package, SE, SXT, Crew and R/T), which means there’s likely a Journey for every taste, need and budget. Base equipment includes air conditioning keyless remote entry, power windows, locks and mirrors and a complete range of safety gear. Up-level models offer leather seating surfaces, roof rack, backup camera, navigation system, 19-inch wheels and a flashlight stored in the cargo area. Four-cylinder models are exclusively front-wheel-drive, but all-wheel-drive is optional on V6 models. The system automatically kicks in to direct power to the rear wheels when needed, including slippery mud and snow conditions as well as when the vehicle is accelerating up to 65 mph. Type: Four-door tall wagon Base engine (hp): 2.4-liter DOHC four-cylinder (173) Optional engine (hp): 3.6-liter DOHC V6 (283) Layout: Front-engine, front- /all-wheel-drive Transmission: Four-speed automatic; six-speed automatic (3.6) MPG (city/hwy): 19/26 (2.4, FWD) Safety: Front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain airbags; anti-lock brakes; traction control; stability control.

Once the darling of the NASCAR circuit, Chrysler is pulling the plug on that specific racing program for 2013, ensuring there will be no more Charger and Challenger-branded “stock” cars for fans to root for. Still, the Charger remains an important member of Dodge’s lineup. In keeping with its racing heritage, a new cold-air induction system has been added to the base 3.6-liter V6 that ups the output to 300 horsepower from 292. The V6’s five-speed automatic transmission remains in service on base Chargers (it has been replaced with an eight-speed transmission in the similar Chrysler 300), while all others use an eightspeed automatic that helps the big sedan achieve 19 mpg city and 31 highway (up from 18/27). The V6’s new cold-air intake gives the car eight more horsepower (now an even 300), but you’ll likely never notice the extra grunt. A five-speed automatic transmission remains connected to the 370-horsepower 5.7-liter V8 installed as standard equipment in the Charger R/T. Both engines can now be equipped with all-wheel-drive with its fuel-saving active transfer case with front-axle disconnect. To save fuel, the system unlocks the front wheels from the transfer case when they’re not needed and will automatically and seamlessly reconnect the front wheels when rear-tire slip is detected. The 5.7 also tries to temper the engine’s thirst for fuel by cutting off half the cylinders at idle and during low-load cruising. Meanwhile, the performance-obsessed SRT8 gets the same 6.4-liter Hemi (392 cubic inches) V8 and five-speed automatic found in the Challenger, Chrysler and Jeep SRT models. Pushing out 470 horsepower, the engine turns the Charger into a brash American cruiser. Thankfully, the brakes are larger, the ride height has been lowered and suspension firmed up to ensure the SRT8 turns and stops as well as it accelerates. For additional rumbling noises, you can select the Beats by Dr. Dre audio package. This apparently famous Rap artist himself helped tune the optional 10-speaker sound system to complement the Charger’s interior and the musical tastes of its generally more youthful passengers.

By Kevin Hanson Senior Writer
More than four months after Enumclaw teenager Justin Relathford was killed as he walked along state Route 410 – strolling handin-hand with his girlfriend – a suspect is facing charges. Buckley resident Cody R. Money, 20, will be arraigned Thursday in King County Superior Court. He was arrested March 20, charged with vehicular homicide, and bail was set at $50,000. It was 8 o’clock on Oct. 31 – last Halloween night – when Relathford, 16, was walking along SR 410 with his 15-year-old girlfriend. He had just insisted that they trade places, that she stay away from the lanes of travel for her own safety. According to charging

suspended license, and notices of infraction for the vehicle registration and insurance. 911 HANGUP: At 10:18 a.m. March 7, two officers were dispatched to an Angeline Road East residence for a 911 hangup. The resident told police she and her live-in boyfriend had an argument that was verbal only. She had called 911 because of how upset her boyfriend became and she was concerned about his own safety. He had calmed down prior to police arrival. His hand was bleeding and he told police he had punched gravel in the backyard while he was trying to calm down. He reassured police he did not plan to hurt himself. An officer photographed the injury for report documentation purposes only. DANGEROUS PURSUIT: At 1:50 a.m. March 8, an officer patrolling the 18500 block of 74th Street East observed a sedan parked next to a mailbox with its headlights on while a
passenger entered. Given recent mail thefts in the neighborhood, the officer followed the car as it began traveling and checked the license plate. During the records check, the car pulled to the side of the road and the driver began making a forward waving motion; the patrol car remained behind. The records check showed the vehicle’s color description did not match the actual color; the year did not seem to match either. The officer activated the patrol car’s lights, and the suspect vehicle accelerated to a high rate of speed. The officer reported the impending chase to dispatch and three officers moved to join the pursuit. The car led police on a chase through Bonney Lake’s northwestern neighborhoods and north into Auburn at speeds as high as 90 miles-per-hour, until it hit a curb turning right on 17th Street Southeast Auburn, spinning out and nearly colliding with a group of pedestrians and a vapor line at a nearby gas station. The leading officer moved to disable the car by driving
his bumper guards into its side, and the vehicle came to a stop. The driver and her front passenger attempted to leave the vehicle out of the driver side door and the four Bonney Lake officers on scene directed them at gunpoint to get stomachdown on the ground. The two women and a male in the backseat were taken into custody. The vehicle was confirmed to be stolen by a records check of the Vehicle Information Number. The backseat passenger was quickly released at the scene after an interviewing officer determined he did not seem to be aware of the vehicle theft. The front seat passenger agreed to interview an officer at the Bonney Lake Public Safety Building; she said she was not aware of any vehicle theft on the part of the driver, but stated the driver had eluded police before in a separate incident in Pacific. The driver declined to interview police until she had an attorney present and was booked into Pierce County Jail; she had a credit card not in her name on her person, but she told police it
belonged to a friend. OUT OF SORTS: At 10:46 p.m. March 8, an officer observed a male pedestrian on South Prairie Road East repeatedly punch a metal pole and then walk toward the nearby medical center, which was closed at that hour. As the officer contacted the man, he immediately recognized him. The man stated he was unclear why he was wandering around the closed building and he denied punching the stoplight pole, though blood was running down his hands from his knuckles. Dispatch confirmed a warrant for the man’s arrest issued by the Puyallup Police Department. An arriving support officer provided the man sanitary wipes and bandages for his wounds; the man declined further medical aid. He was placed under arrest and transferred into Puyallup PD custody at a midway point on state Route 410 East. THEFT AND ASSAULT: At 1:10 p.m. March 11, an officer was dispatched to Target to respond to an attempted shoplift and

successful assault on a loss prevention officer; the suspect had already fled the scene. According to the loss prevention officer and video surveillance footage of the incident, the man had attempted to return a vacuum he had picked up during the same trip, as well as attempting to steal a kitchen mixer. When he was confronted on his way out of the store, he pushed the employee by her throat and arms to make his escape, leaving a small abrasion on her throat. An investigation of the vehicle turned up a suspect who was identified by the employee in a photo montage the next day; incidentally, the same suspect had been arrested for shoplifting a vacuum cleaner from a South Hill retailer two hours after the Target incident. Given the Target employee’s positive identification and the circumstances of the other arrest, the investigating Bonney Lake officer forwarded the case to the County prosecutor for review of charges for organized retail theft.

A car crashed into the front of the Bonney Lake Safeway building Thursday morning, according to a Twitter update from the Bonney Lake Police Department’s Public Information Officer. Based on photos and information tweeted by the @BLPoliceDept account at 10 a.m., the Saturn sedan crashed into a section of glass section of the storefront, shattering the windows and scattering DVD displays in the store’s movie rental department. The section of storefront was damaged, but the vehicle did not enter the store and no one was injured. By 11 a.m., the vehicle was towed and the store was open for business. Bonney Lake police were investigating the cause of the crash.

homicide FROM 6 papers provided by the King County Prosecutor’s Office, Money was driving his 2005 Nissan Titan pickup in the westbound lane, with his 17-yearold girlfriend sitting in the passenger seat. Court documents note that both Money and his girlfriend looked down when his cell phone either rang or vibrated. The pickup drifted over the fog line and, according to police reports, was almost entirely on the paved shoulder of the highway when Relathford was struck. He was thrown into a ditch along the road and died at the scene. Money stopped his vehicle about 200 feet from where the teen was hit. Standing on the roadside, he told officers he had
smoked marijuana about eight hours earlier and that he may have taken the drug Suboxone at 5 that morning. A laboratory analysis of his blood painted a different picture. According to toxicology reports, he had smoked marijuana, at most, a couple of hours before the fatal accident. Carefully crafting their tale of Money’s drug use, prosecutors noted eight bongs were found in his pickup. As for Money’s claim he had used Suboxone, blood tests showed no evidence of that medication. Instead, it was determined he had used Oxycodone, a prescription narcotic used for pain relief. There also was a discrepancy between what Money and his 17-yearold girlfriend told investigators and what was
Bonney Lake man Jeff Surber, 46 years old, died March 13 in an industrial accident at the Port of Tacoma. Surber — a seven-year employee of the Pierce County Terminal, an “A” member union man and journeyman crane mechanic — was inspecting wires at the top of a crane alongside another mechanic when he was fatally injured for as-yetunknown reasons.
“It was a routine inspection,” ILWU Local 23 President Scott Mason said. “I don’t know what went wrong.” Surber would have been 47. He has one 19-year-old son. Emergency personnel responded to the accident shortly after noon. The port was immediately shut down for the day. The Washington state Department of Labor and Industries is investigating the accident, as will the port, the man’s employer and the union, Mason said.

determined by analysis of the scene. Both Money and his female passenger offered versions indicating Relathford was walking on, or over, the white fog line. Police determined, however, the corner of Money’s truck was between 4 and 5 feet to the right of the fog line, traveling well into the paved shoulder of the highway. In requesting that bail be set at $50,000, the prosecutor’s office noted that Money had no prior criminal history. However, he has been guilty of a handful of moving violations and has been charged with three more violations since October’s tragedy. Aside from vehicular homicide, prosecutors added charges of possession of marijuana (less that 40 grams) and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Three steps will improve a home’s curb appeal A Marianne Binetti seminar on “Adding Curb Appeal and Outdoor Decorating” is planned for 9 a.m. Saturday at Windmill Gardens in Sumner. To register, call 253-8635843 or visit www.windmillgarden.com. The third week of March is the best time to fertilize established roses, lawns and small fruits like blueberry, raspberry and strawberry plants. The longer days are waking up these plants and the new foliage tells you these plants want food now! Do not fertilize tender plants like newly-planted roses, hardy fuchsias, summer-blooming bulbs and shrubs like lilies, dahlias and hydrangeas or plants that surprised you and survived the winter like phormiums and sedums. March also is the month to evaluate your front landscape and put together a plan for some curb appeal. You don’t need to be selling your home to invest in a better front view. A welcoming front entry, colorful flowers and a cared-for landscape does more than just raise property values. There is intrinsic satisfaction waiting for any homeowner or apartment dweller that is welcomed home with a bit of beauty.
Three Steps to Curb Appeal

Plant front door less than welcoming. Take the different sizes and shapes of containers with
the same variety of purple petunia, repeat the rounded form of a clipped boxwood or repeat an evergreen signature plant like Nanina (heavenly bamboo) or dwarf Alberta spruce. You can group the same plant material in clusters of three to five, in a staggered hedge, in the center or corner of three different beds or even as the focal point in container gardens. The reason repetition works to calm the chaos in a front yard landscape is because it gives the eye a familiar place to rest when your home is viewed from the curb or street. Repetition is like a melody that appears throughout a song or the repeating patterns that Mother Nature designs when rolling hills, fields of wild flowers or ocean waves repeat to calm and delight the human senses. Don’t Forget the Obvious: Maintenance Matters Improving your home’s curb appeal can be as simple as mowing and edging the lawn, clearing away the clutter and weeding and mulching the beds. Repair the gutters, get rid of the moss on the roof and keep your driveway free of fallen leaves and debris. A well-kept home does more than improve the real estate values in your neighborhood –

A whole food take on healthy living The following is a guest article submitted by a nutrition student for her community service project.
By Carolyn Weber Student Contributor
The modernization of food, such as processed foods, have made it so much easier in our busy lives of work, school, kids and extra curricular activities to quickly
whip up a pre-made meal or pick up some fast food on the way to the kids softball meet. Although convenient, these processed foods contain preservatives, like sulfites and nitrates, to extend their shelf life. But the same preservatives have also affected our health negatively, causing allergies and illness like diabetes and cancer. Weston A. Price, an oral surgeon and early innovator of
anthropological nutrition, studied modern and isolated populations on five continents and the Pacific Islands for the health effects of their diets. The people from the isolated populations hunted for their food, picked berries, caught wild fish, drank raw milk, churned their own butter and soaked and sprouted their nuts and grains. Price found the people on primitive diets had excellent health,
great dental arches and high immunity to disease. The people of commerce who had been eating modernized foods like white flour, white sugar, refined vegetable oils and canned goods had deformities, arthritis, tooth decay and disease. Price believed his findings taught us we need good fat solu-

Do you pay attention to your toothbrush’s cleanliness? If not, you may be exposing yourself to harmful bacteria. According to new research, the average toothbrush can contain more than 100 million bacteria (including the infamous illness culprits E. coli and staphylococci). In fact, the average person’s mouth is not really all that clean to begin with since it is also filled with bacteria; however, there is certainly no need to compound the situation with a dirty toothbrush. To keep your toothbrush clean, first, keep it out of toilet flush range. Also, keep it stored upright and away from other toothbrushes. Wash your hands before brushing, and don’t use a cover for the toothbrush (which prevents the toothbrush from drying out). P.S. Rather than microwaving, dishwashing, or spray-sanitizing the toothbrush, simply replace it every three months or when the bristles begin to fray. You can rely on us to answer all your questions about dental treatments and procedures. At LAKERIDGE DENTISTRY, PLLC, we appreciate the opportunity to provide you and your family with quality dental care. Our team is made up of well-trained professionals who work together to provide the highest quality treatment in a warm, caring setting. We’re located at 8412 Myers Road E., Ste. 301. Bonney Lake.

Bonney Lake MetropoLitan park District PARk DISTRICT PROPOSAL ON THe APRIL 23RD SPeCIAL eLeCTION This is a vote-by-mail election with ballots to me mailed out April 5th there will be a special election on april 23, 2013 to determine whether to create a Bonney lake Park District. all registered Bonney lake voters are encouraged to take the time to complete their ballot and mail it to the county elections department, or drop it off at the ballot collection box in the Bl Park and ride lot. What is a Park District? The Park District would be established under RCW 35.61. It would officially known as the Bonney Lake Metropolitan Park District. It would be a distinct taxing authority created for the “management, control, improvement, maintenance, and acquisition of parks, parkways, boulevards, and recreational facilities”. The District boundaries would match the City boundaries (and would automatically expand to include any future annexed areas). The City Council would serve as the ex officio Park District board. It would be up to the City Council to determine what park functions the District would assume. What WoulD the Park District Do? With the assessment authorized by the Park District, the City Council would likely use the annual assessment as debt service on a park bond that would implement the parks plan in phases. Not everything could be built at once. The City Council would confer with interested groups to determine which priorities were addressed first. The initial projects would likely be a combination of new ball fields and trails. Over time, all of the priorities, including a community recreation center, would be addressed. Part of the tax assessment would likely be retained to maintain and operate the new or expanded facilities.
Why a Park District? The City has little funds for park development, and dedicated sources of park funding have dwindled nearly 80% over the past few years. The Park District would primarily be a financing mechanism to provide the City with a dedicated funding source to develop a park system. Last year, the City adopted an updated Parks and Recreation Plan which identified numerous park needs that have no funding source. Top needs identified are ball fields, trails, playgrounds, and a recreation facility such as a YMCA or a community center. hoW Much WoulD the Park District cost? An MPD has the authority to levy a property tax to pay for parks and recreation. The maximum levy allowed by law is $0.75 per $1000 of assessed value, but there are statutory tax limits that would likely limit the maximum levy to about $0.44 per $1000 of assessed value. This could vary over time, depending on assessed values and the rates of other taxing districts. Since an MPD is a “junior taxing district”, it has lower priority for funding than other “higher priority” taxing authorities. On a home assessed by the county at $200,000, a $0.44 park levy would cost an additional $7.39 per month. A levy amount of $0.75 would cost $11.68 per month.

City Departments Have Moved
O
n March 7, 8 and 11, several City of Bonney Lake departments moved from City Hall to the Justice Center building at 9002 Main Street East (adjacent to the Bonney Lake Library) . The Bonney Lake Municipal Court and Executive Department offices have been at this location for the past year. The following departments have also now moved into the building: • Administrative Services Department – City Clerk, Human Resources • Community Development Department – Building, Planning, Code Enforcement • Finance Department – Utilities, Accounting In April, Public Works Administration and Engineering will move from the City Hall Annex into the old City Hall, which has been renamed the Public Works Center. Thus, both public works administration, engineering, and operations will all be together in the same complex. When Public Works Admin and Engineering vacate the City Hall Annex, the Annex building will be leased to private parties.

here are lots of good reasons to shop locally. Effective last October, the sales tax rate in Bonney Lake decreased from 9.4% to 8.8%. This was a result of Bonney Lake’s removal from Pierce Transit. This lower tax rate is another great reason to shop Bonney Lake first. Visit the City’s Shop Bonney Lake online business directory. Look for the logo on the left column of the City website at citybonneylake. org to find out about area businesses, promotions, coupons, and more. Be smart. Shop Bonney Lake first. It helps you and it helps your neighbors. Bonney Lake businesses provide a majority of local jobs; the business community will become more reflective of Bonney Lake’s unique needs and shopping preferences; the sales taxes I pay support this community: fixing my roads and maintaining my recreational facilities. Shopping local reduces my carbon footprint. Local business owners are better able to invest in the community and have a vested interest in the future of this community.

ble vitamins from animal sources and we need to properly prepare our food by soaking, sprouting and fermenting them to release necessary enzymes for digestion. Francis Pottenger, physician and author of “Pottenger’s Cats,” was another nutritional pioneer who taught us about the degenerations of future generations due to a diet of processed foods. His Cat Study observed that cats who were fed a diet of only processed foods had allergies, cancer, infertility, and structural deformities generation after generation. The cats who ate whole foods in their raw state were healthy and vibrant and their kittens were healthy as well. It took four generations of a whole food diet to nurse the sick cats back to health. A modernized diet that mimics the paleolithic era is the “Paleo Diet.” Paleo is a whole food diet based on the food groups our huntergatherer ancestors thrived on 2.6 million years ago to the beginning of the agricultural revolution 10,000 years ago. These foods include grass fed and free range meats, fish, seafood, dairy products, fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, grains, legumes and healthy oils like olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, macadamia oil and flaxseed oil. Refined sugars and processed foods were not a part of the paleolithic diet. Nutrition is a huge part of our health so we need to feed our bodies properly by eating foods in their whole form as nature intended. Carolyn Weber is a student of the Nutritional Therapy Association located in Olympia. She has been an advocate of proper nutrition since her mother was diagnosed with cancer in 1983. Carolyn became a mother in 2010 to her son Sylas and her passion for health grew as she wanted the best for her son and family.
