With just a few weeks until the Covington Days Festival set for July 20-21 the plans for the event are falling into place according to Karla Slate, the city’s community relations coordinator. The city of Covington picked up the torch of planning the festival, which began in the mid 1980s, from COVINGTON the Covington Lions Club earlier this year. Since then, Slate and other city staffers have worked to bring on new sponsors, new vendors, add elements to the event as well as finalize a different parade route. Slate wrote in an email interview that things are going well. “Our business community is

From high school to the Coast Guard Academy BY KATHERINE SMITH ksmith@maplevalleyreporter.com
Emily Burlison, a 2013 Tahoma High graduate, has found the perfect pair of illusive tube socks that come almost to her knee — an essential for those embarking on basic training also known as swab summer at the Coast Guard Academy in Connecticut. Burlison just graduated from Tahoma High 10 days ago but
she’s already counting down the days until her brief summer ends. Nine days from now she’ll report for basic training at the academy and begin seven weeks of training, which if she survives, will be the beginning of what she plans will be a long career with the Coast Guard. “I’ve always wanted to join the military just because it seems like that’s built for me,” Burlison said. “I really enjoy academic chal-
lenge so when I found out that academies existed I (went that direction).” Out of 2,300 applicants only 235 were accepted for this year’s freshman class at the academy. “When it (her acceptance) was finally cleared…I was so relieved,” Burlison said. For Burlison it was the humanitarian focus of the Coast Guard that appealed to her. “It’s partially the humanitarian mission of the Coast Guard, and also they’re a smaller service and things that the Coast Guard does more directly affects helping American lives,” Burlison said. Burlison has practiced Kokondo, a traditional form of karate and ju-jitsu for ten years,

and she sees correlations between the discipline required for martial arts and life as a member of the military that appeal to her. “It would probably be that (Kokondo) that sparked my interest in not liking civilian life as much,” Burlison said. Applying for the academy wasn’t much different than the other college applications she had to fill out, Burlison said. She still had to write essays and then there was the usual paperwork. The one big difference was the physical and medical exams. Burlison credited her experiences at Tahoma with helping her to figure out what she wants to study – operations research and computer analysis.
Each month Zoe will answer one lucky winners question. askzoevca@yahoo.com (See ad on page 8 for more details)
Originally, Burlison thought she wanted to be an engineer so she joined Bear Metal, the robotics team at Tahoma. “I learned from Robotics that I’m not,” Burlison said with a laugh. “But I also learned that I really like what’s called scouting. It’s like intelligence gathering on the robots and stuff, and I’d develop questions and interpret them for our strategist. It actually is kind of similar to operations research which is part of how I found that.” After she graduates from the academy, Burlison is committed to five years serving in the Coast Guard.

Former Kentwood student in custody STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com
Ryan D. LaPlante, the former Kentwood High School student charged with making threats to bomb Kentwood, is now in custody at the Benton County jail in Kennewick. LaPlante, 19, was booked Thursday morning, according to jail records. LaPlante failed to show up for his scheduled King County Superior Court appearance Monday to be arraigned at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent for making threats to bomb or injure property in March at the Covington school. A $15,000 bench warrant was issued for LaPlante’s arrest after he failed to appear in court, according to Ian Good-

hew, spokesman for the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. The judge set a new court date of June 20 for LaPlante to appear. King County prosecutors have charged LaPlante with threats to bomb or injure property in connection with an emailed threat March 29 to the principal that caused the school to evacuate 2,000 students and staff and be shut down for a day. LaPlante told King County Sheriff ’s Office detectives he emailed the threat because he was angry that he did not graduate in 2012 after attending Kentwood for four years, according to charing papers filed May 28. If convicted as charged, the sentence range for LaPlante would be three to nine months in jail. Detectives initially arrested LaPlante April 6 at his father’s home in Kennewick. LaPlante had lived in Kent with his mother before moving to the Tri-Cities. Detectives served a search warrant at the Kennewick house and seized two computers. Investigators used information found on those computers to connect LaPlante to the email sent to Principal Doug Hostetter, according to charging papers.

The Kent School District Board of Directors announced that there will be no additional late start arrival days in the 2013-2014 school year. Board President Debbie Strauss said that student achievement is the district’s primary focus. Strauss also said that the district should explore other options to work collaboratively without making schedule changes for next year.
Discussions are underway again between the homeowners associations of the Maple Woods and Maple Ridge Highlands neighborhoods and the city of Maple Valley regarding the documented speeding problems on Maple Ridge Drive and Maple Ridge Way. According to residents, speeding has been a problem on the two roads, with Maple Ridge Drive being the main road that connects the two neighborhoods, since both neighborhoods were built in 2002. “Were looking for some kind of help,” Maple Woods HOA president John Peter said during an interview June 17. One of the main concerns for residents, other than the speeding itself, is that there is a community playground located at the intersection of Maple Ridge Drive and Maple Ridge Way, and residents are concerned that the high rate of speed at which drivers are traveling is putting children

at risk as they cross Maple Ridge Drive. After the neighborhoods were annexed into the city the issue was first brought before the Maple Valley City Council in 2010. At that time a speed study was conducted and the results showed that there was indeed a speeding problem on the two streets. On both streets the posted speed limit is 25 miles per hour. In the 2010 study eastbound and westbound traffic on both streets was assessed including median speed and the percentage of drivers going over five miles per hour over the speed limit. The lowest percentage was on eastbound Maple Ridge Drive with 32 percent of drivers exceeding the speed limit by five miles per hour or more. The greatest percentage was on westbound Maple Ridge Drive at 73 percent. As a result of the study several options that could be implemented incrementally to encourage decreased speeds were presented by the city. Among those options were road striping, speed

community education and other minor and low cost solutions, and phase two which includes solutions such as crosswalks and speed humps among other options. Under the new program the city requires 70 percent approval of residents before phase two improvements will be implemented. On July 29, 2011 the HOAs were notified that due to falling short of the 70 percent marker neither speed humps or crosswalks would be installed by the city at that time. In February the HOA contacted the city as they still felt that speeding was a problem and they were referred back to the city’s 2011 decision. “They (the city) sat on it for two years, which is why I’m a little frustrated,” Eric Knudsen, a Maple Woods HOA board member, said in an interview June 17.

Tales from the Reporter office Staff Writer Katherine Smith
I’m more convinced that the whole six degrees of separation thing is true every day. That and it really is a small world. It’s been two and a half years since I moved back from California but it still amazes me sometimes the people I run into being back in my hometown. This week it was finding out that one of my teachers from elementary school lives in our coverage area and, in fact, Kris Hill had written a story and quoted her right when I started working here back in December. (Hi, Mrs. Acree). Maybe a month and a half ago I was at Costco with my parents and we ran into Barb, who drove bus 18, and my sisters and I to school, for years. Last year when I was interning for the Tahoma School District I was interviewing a teacher at the high school and I couldn’t shake the feeling I knew her from somewhere. Turns out she was one of my Sunday school teachers when I was elementary school aged. It’s one of the cool things about this area. It seems everybody knows somebody who knows somebody you know. That’s one of the things Kris and I laugh about in the office on a regular basis — who knows someone who knows this person that one of us knows — that and how old I was when she was in high school, in college, getting married, etc. etc. It usually goes like this: “When I was in high school…” or “When we were living in Vegas…” At which point I start giggling…

“Okay, just tell me, how old were you? Do I want to know?” We decided last week that the best example of who knew that we’ve hit on yet is from back in March. We made a trip to the Kent office one day and made a stop at the archives, affectionately referred to as the morgue by reporter types, and poked around for a bit. As I perused through the stacks of bound volumes that dated back to the 40s in dawned on me that somewhere in the stacks were articles about the Kentridge girls swim team, a team that I was on in the early and mid 2000s. The hunt was on. It didn’t take long before I hit pay dirt. I could have stayed for hours, perusing the volumes, reading random stories and getting my hands covered in newsprint ink. On our way back to the office Kris mentioned
she had written about the team in 2003, right after she started at the paper and it was brand new. We have our own bound volumes here in the office and as soon as we got back I was off looking again. Sure enough, in the fall of 2003 Kris wrote a story about Kentridge girls swim and the teams’ 50-something duel meet winning streak. I was a freshman that year. Translation, she was on the pool deck and I was in the water. Who would have ever though that someday I’d work for her? So yeah, I’m pretty much convinced that it is a small world after all. Disneyland reference totally intended, because that’s the way I roll. Reach Katherine Smith ksmith@maplevalleyreporter.com or 425-432-1209 ext. 5052.

This is such a valuable lesson our kids can learn early on: shop local! Thank you to all of you who have started to shift your buying habits. Keep it up — our business owners appreciate it more than you know! From Todd Hulbert, owner of Finally Found Books in Black Diamond: I sit here this morning contemplating this thought; is there any longer a need for local independent bookstores? The last few months have been devastating to our business and communities as we lost several local Indies. Maple Leaf Books in Issaquah, Browsers Books in Kent, Once Sold Tales in Kent, and Bookworm Exchange in Columbia City have all shuttered their doors this year and I know of at least one more that will be gone by years end. All of these stores had been in business for a decade or more. Kent and Issaquah no longer have an independent bookstore. This leaves only a very small handful of indie bookstores left, all of which are struggling (including us) in this ever changing environment of e-books, internet sales and competition from the big box stores. It’s not just bookstores, it’s all of the small,
family owned businesses that are struggling, fighting, and scratching their way for a very meager existence. It’s the businesses that are the foundation of our local economy, founded our entrepreneurial spirit, and were the backbones of our communities. Should we all sit back and let the giant, multinational corporations, who with their bullying techniques, secure mega discounts from suppliers, which are then used to squash the American Dream? Do we as a society even care anymore about our local businesses or are we content walking into Target and Wal-Mart or choosing Amazon? Sure they can beat the locals on price and convenience but certainly not on service and community loyalty. In the end, what is the real price we pay? Without a doubt, the bookstore will either move or close this summer. Every month, our sales volume and the number of people coming through the door, drops. We have tried everything possible to bring people in the door but at the end of the day, feel we are simply too far out of the way and need to be in a much more populous area with high visibility and convenience. We have been searching, unsuccessfully, for the right building in the Kent, Renton, or [ more SHERIDAN page 7 ]

Anticavity Tip: Water consumption is the most effective way to slow cavity progression in children because of its natural ability to reduce intraoral acidity and cleanse the mouth. 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. Example: 28 pound child = 14 ounces or 2 cups; 46 pound child = 23 ounces or 3 cups.

The facts about transient ischemic attack W
hat is a TIA? Is it a new competing car company in South Korea (KIA)? Is it the new “in” name to call your child (pronounced tee-ah)? No, actually it is an, often, overused medical term to describe any transient focal neurological symptom. Although if I were to have another child I am sure TIA might be on the list of names. T.I.A. stands for transient ischemic attack. It results from a brief lack of blood flow to a part or parts of the brain. The symptoms can be almost anything, including weakness, numbness, tingling, vision loss or changes, balance difficulties, slurred speech

or difficulties expressing words, dizziness, or even confusion. Because of the plethora of symptoms, diagnosing TIA has taken on a life of its own and can be easily overused. As a vascular neurologist and stroke specialist I am frequently asked to evaluate a patient who has suffered a TIA to prevent a stroke. This is very important as the risk of someone having a completed stroke (permanent neurological injury as a result of lack of blood flow to the brain) is somewhere between 12 and 25 percent over the next 30 days after suffering from a TIA. Most of this risk is over the first one to seven days. TIA is

considered a neurologic emergency because of this high risk of stroke. However, I have found that as many as 50 percent of the patients I see with a diagnosis of TIA do not end up having a true TIA. As the only stroke neurologist outside Seattle between Olympia and Spokane, I see a large number of patients who present to my TIA clinics to be assessed for their risk of stroke and provide treatment to prevent a stroke. I find that many patients who come in with symptoms of TIA ultimately end up with a cause of their symptoms that is not due to a transient loss of blood flow to their brains. The diagnoses can range anywhere from a migraine without headache (yes, migraines are not headaches and can have transient neurological symptoms without a headache. I know because I get them.), sleep dysfunction, medication use, or even a vitamin deficiency or a combination of the above. Even though a TIA
the cost of many common diagnoses seen at hospitals determined that the charges for an ER visit for a single TIA are between $20,000 and over $40,000. Even with all of this cost, the patient has still not yet seen a stroke specialist to determine the cause of the symptoms to prevent a potential stroke. The costs are some of the highest for ER visits in Pierce County averaging $42,000 per TIA visit. TIA clinics operated by a vascular neurologist can offer an option to an ER visit for patients with TIA symptoms. Patients can be seen urgently by a specialist; with a focused workup tailored to the patient’s symptoms at less than 10 percent of the cost of an ER visit.

“THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF CARE FOR YOUR CHILD”
WHAT ARE GALLSTONES? Gallstones are hard deposits that form in the gallbladder. They can vary in size from as tiny as a single grain of sand to being as big as a golf ball. There are two main kinds of gallstones. The first, and most common, are made up of excessive cholesterol. These gallstones are usually a yellowgreen color. The second kind are made up of bilirubin and are smaller and darker than the aforementioned type. There are a few causative factors for gallstones: genetics, body weight, decreased movement of the gallbladder, and diet. Symptoms include pain in the upper back and upper abdomen, nausea, vomiting, bloating, indigestion, heartburn, and gas. Gallstones can be treated surgically and with medication. Oral medications may help dissolve gallstones, but it may take months or years of treatment to dissolve your gallstones in this way. Medications for gallstones aren’t commonly used and are reserved for people who can’t undergo surgery. To schedule an appointment, please call Southlake Clinic at (253) 395-1972. Our primary care providers are part of a multi-specialty physician network and are also available on Saturdays. Our multi-specialty group has a clinic in Covington at 27005 168th Place SE. 795476

The Fourth of July can be a frightening and dangerous time for pets as we celebrate our nation’s independence. The loud fireworks can cause pets to become agitated, nervous, destructive or even worse ~ to panic and escape from home or become injured. If your pets become agitated and nervous or are whining and crying try to distract them by playing ball, frisbee or laser (many dogs and cats love to chase laser pointers). This positive reinforcement can overcome their anxieties or at least wear them out so they sleep better. For many pets giving them a safe place to hide is the most comforting. Cats will often choose to hide under the bed or other furniture. For dogs providing a “den” such as a crate, bathroom or closet works well: the more confined the better. Do not pull them out from their hiding place as this may upset them more. Shut all the windows and drapes and play loud music with the bass booming to muffle the sound of the fireworks. Keep all pets indoors or secure on a leash while walking. You never know when a firework will be set off and cause your pet to flee. Some pets will not go outside during firework displays. Take them out well before dark to relieve themselves. It is ideal if a family member can be at home through this time, as your mere presence is comforting as you go about your regular business. Make sure all pets have proper I.D. Some pets need medication to calm them or even prevent them from harm. For pets with mild to moderate fears and that are nondestructive we recommend the use of two over-the-counter natural calming remedies called Rescue Remedy (liquid) and Calms Forte (tablet). For more severe cases an actual tranquilizer such as Acepromazine may be needed. Please consult your vet if you have any questions on these medication. Remember most pets do not need prescription medication even if nervous or upset. Have a happy, fun and safe 4th of July.

Former Bear finds his place on the gridiron at Pacific Lutheran BY KRIS HILL khill@maplevalleyreporter.com
Niko Madison is preparing for a breakout year on the football field at Pacific Lutheran University. Madison, a 2011 Tahoma High graduate, was a workhorse for the Bears football program particularly his senior season but has worked his way up the depth chart at PLU. This fall he will share starting duties carrying the ball with Peninsula High graduate Brandon James who will be a senior. Coming from Tahoma, PLU was a good choice for Madison, both for football and academics. He was drawn in by the tradition of success developed by legendary coach Frosty Westering. Head coach Scott Westering told Madison PLU was a family-oriented program, the same kind of vibe the Tahoma football program has under long time coach Tony Davis. “On the academic side, it’s a great school, they’re really reputable,” Madison said. “And they gave me a
really good financial aid package.” Jud Keim, assistant head coach at PLU, had nothing but praise for Madison. “He’s a very quick, explosive athlete,” Keim said. “He’s pretty special, (a) tough kid, hard nosed.” Madison played in eight games as a freshman but had some health issues last year. He had surgery in the spring to repair the ligament in his left thumb, which he injured in a game in high school. This summer he plans to focus not just on the preparation program handed to him by the PLU coaching staff but through work with his former high school running back coach so he is ready to make an impact for the Lutes on the gridiron. Keim knows Madison has the potential for great things. As a senior at Tahoma he rushed for more than 1,000 yards and averaged more than seven yards per carry. “He’s got a little shake and bake to him,” Keim said. “He’s got great speed, great burst. He’s solid, very aggressive in protection, he’s kind of
an all-around running back.” A competitive player who goes from goofy off the field to fiery and intense on it, Keim said Madison fits in well with the Lutes’ balanced offense which features a solid passing game, great offensive line protection and a pair of returning running backs who can carry the rock. “The toughest thing to defend is balance,” Keim said. “(Madison) understands that we have a well-rounded offensive machine. He’s a big part of that. He’s a true running back. He wants the ball every possession, every down. You like that kind of attitude.” Keim said Madison has handled the challenge of losing his best friend, Kevin Langdahl, well -- in fact the coach believes it has inspired the player.
“He’s had some adversity in his life,” Keim said. “How he’s handled that is first class.” Madison said when Langdahl died in a car accident freshman year at PLU, he struggled with the loss of his closest friend, someone he shared so much with since he was 6 years old. “On the day of his funeral I had a game,” Madison said. “I was at the funeral and I was broken down. I was looking at my texts (from the day before) and he told me he was going to be (at the game), so, I felt like I should be there. I ended up going to the game and had an awesome game.” In fact, Madison carried the ball it seemed on every play to help drive the Lutes down the field to score. There were times he would stumble while running the ball but somehow he would keep going, break through tackles, as if his best friend was pushing him.
He credits what he learned at Tahoma, especially playing for Davis, for helping him get through the stress of his first year of college and the loss of his best friend. “Tahoma is pretty reputable for having good academics,” Madison said. “They taught me really how to pay attention in school and how to strive for excellence. For football, Tony Davis, he makes you have a good work ethic. He’s a good instructor. He kept all of us structured and focused. It prepared me for college in terms of good work ethic and not giving up. If you’re not dedicated, you won’t make it, and that’s something I learned.” He also learned how to stay calm under pressure, particularly in high school, which helps him go from cracking jokes to focusing on football. “For me, the fun is coming from the pressure because when you do well under pressure and then when you accomplish something you feel good about it,” Madison said. “I’m pretty intense in football. I’m a really competitive person.”
As his junior season at PLU approaches, Madison said, he’s pondered his goals for football. In the meantime, he’s chosen to earn a business degree with a focus on management and human resources because it provides him with the most opportunities after college if football isn’t in his future. “I love the game, being out there is the best thing ever,” Madison said. “I just want to out there and play my best. Ultimately I think if I do my best for myself and I’m working as hard as I can it’s going to bring out the best in the team.” This season could be Madison’s break out year for PLU. He’s learned the system, he’s worked hard and he is ready. “Patience is the key,” Madison said. Keim said that Madison’s skill set and abilities will certainly lead to an expanded role in the offense as well as a leader. “He’s all business but he’s humble about it,” Keim said. “He has a fire and intensity that few on our team have.”

end of some branches but this monster is over 5 feet tall and again blocking the window. R., email A. I vote you move this hydrangea to a new spot where it can spread out its branches and grow into the full-bodied shrub it was meant to be. Replace this giant old-fashioned hydrangea with a dwarf or ever-blooming hydrangea that can be more easily kept under control. Hydrangeas are happiest when they are left to grow natural and never pruned. The new varieties like Endless Summer and Blushing Bride are an exception as you can cut back the branches on these hydrangeas in spring or summer and still get blooms; they will flower on new growth instead of twoyear-old wood like traditional big leaf hydrangeas. Q. I was given a beautiful pink hydrangea for Mother’s Day. It has un-
usual blooms that are more flat than the round ball hydrangea flowers. Do you know what type of hydrangea this is, can I plant it outside and will it survive the winter here and bloom again next year? A. It sounds like you’ve received one of the new gift hydrangeas called Strawberries and Cream and the good news is it can go out into the garden in our climate for years of enjoyment. The flowers you describe are called “lace cap” as the center blooms do not open, giving the illusion of a lacy frill around a center cap of buds. Enjoy the blooms indoors but by June remove the plant from it’s pot and replant into a spot where it is protected from the hot afternoon sun. Hydrangeas love moist soil and newly-planted hydrangeas will need extra water the first summer and into the fall until they estab-

of your big leaf hydrangeas the acidity of the soil and the flowers will change to pink or lavender depending on the amount of aluminum available in the soil. I suspect the gender confusion in your case is caused by the cement foundation of your house. Enough lime may have leached from the concrete to make the soil less acid, so the flower color changes. To feminize your blue hydrangeas you can add lime around the base of the shrubs. Start with just one-half cup of dolomite lime per plant as too much lime will turn the soil too alkaline and cause yellow leaves. Add aluminum sulfate to the soil to make it more acid and to keep your hydrangeas a more manly blue.

in a misguided effort to grow more foliage. Instead, pamper your clematis with an organic mulch placed on top of the roots but not quite touching the thin and delicate stems of this vine. June also is the month to add more hydrangeas to your garden. These summer-blooming shrubs now come in a wider range of colors, sizes and flower types. Here are the mostasked questions about growing hydrangeas. Q. How do I prune my giant hydrangea? I have figured out that when I prune my big leaf hydrangea back to keep it from blocking the front windows it punishes me and does not flower again for a couple of years. Right now I can tell there are flower buds at the

When June arrived you may have noticed your vegetable seedlings and annual plants experiencing a growth spurt. Just like a teenager, they now have a huge appetite so this is your reminder to fertilize. Roses and perennials also benefit from a feeding this month and if you still have not fertilized the lawn, make sure you do so early in the month before the hot weather arrives. You should not feed clematis vines in bud or bloom. Clematis is the queen of all vines here in the Northwest and thrives in our cool summer weather but if you give clematis a big dose of plant food just as it starts to bloom it sometimes drops the flower buds before they open
