King County considers officer body cameras
It’s decision time for King County voters

Covington Police Chief Kevin Klason doesn’t feel it’s appropriate to talk about what may have happened in Ferguson, Mo. It’s an important discussion and one he feels strongly about. But the truth is, he says, he doesn’t know any of the facts. And it’s possible nobody does. “There is a lack of accurate, factual information as to the incident in Ferguson,” he said. “I’m not about to second guess or comment about what did or did not happen. It’s not fair for me to make such a comment.” Just as was the case in Ferguson, none of the deputies or law enforcement vehicles in King County are outfitted with cameras or audio recording equipment. That means a lot of the suspect’s – or victim’s – word is against an officers. It’s a decades long issue that
The election ballots have been mailed and soon the counting will begin. King County Elections mailed the ballots and voters’ pamphlets Oct. 15 and most residents have received them both. Ballots must be postmarked no later than Nov. 4 to be counted. A drop van for ballots for anyone who does not want to mail a ballot will be located at the Tahoma School District parking lot.

Ravensdale Park to open early December Construction at the new Ravensdale Park is in its final stretch. Phase one of the project was completed three years ago and brought a baseball field and a soccer field to the community. Now, the Ravensdale Park Foundation is working on two more multipurpose fields, for a total of four turf-covered fields. They broke ground on phase two of the project in mid-May of this year and expect to complete the project by Dec. 1, weather permitting. Schools and youth athletic clubs in the area already plan to use the fields for various athletic events in the next year. The fields will also be available for use by adult athletic leagues.
“For a community so short of athletic fields, this park offers something for everybody,” said Rob Nist, director of the Ravensdale Park Foundation. “Short of Marymoor Park in Redmond, there is no complex in King County that can host the variety of team sporting events that Ravensdale will be able to with these four fields.” The entire project (including phase one and two), was estimated to cost $6 million. Due to permitting issues, code changes and adding Wi-Fi, Nist said they are about $300,000 short. The foundation is now relying on sponsors in the community, both individuals and businesses, to get the project completed by their goal date. For more information about the project, visit the park’s website at www.ravensdalepark.org.

Tahoma teacher and basketball coach quits BY ERIC MANDEL

A new federal program called the Community Eligibility Provision eliminates the stigma students may feel when they receive free or reduced-price meals, according to a press release from the Washington Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. The release states that the program allows schools with high numbers of low-income children to serve breakfast and lunch to all students at no charge, regardless of family income. “Well-nourished children are more focused and better able to learn,” State Superintendent Randy Dorn said in the release. “This new program helps our state educate kids.” Community Eligibility does not require households to fill out the applications typically associated with free and reduced-price meals. Instead, it relies on information gathered from other programs, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and the Temporary Assistance Program for Needy Families. Piloted in 11 states last year, Community Eligibility is in practice nationwide this school year. In Washington, 119 schools participate.

NEW PROGRAM INCREASES ACCESS TO HEALTHY SCHOOL MEALS
Tahoma boy’s basketball coach and teacher Brian Davis unexpectedly resigned earlier this month, citing “personal and family obligations.” Davis joined the school district in 2012, working as a psychology and American studies teacher and taking over for then-coach Rob Morrow. Davis finished his two years as the Bears coach with a 65-35 record, including a league title and consecutive trips to the district playoffs. In May, Davis was selected to coach a team of all-star high school basketball players from around the country during the second annual West Coast All-Star Classic. Davis, a 1998 Kent-Meridian graduate, told The Reporter Tuesday that quitting as coach was “a very difficult decision” but that he has “to take care of some personal things and my family first.” He plans to renew his real estate license
and said he was uncertain about his coaching future. “We’ve got some family obligations that we need to tend to,” he said. “Something I kind of need to do.” Tahoma spokesman Kevin Patterson said Davis unexpectedly resigned Oct. 10. He said Davis’ classes are currently being taught by substitutes, but the school plans to hire another teacher. Patterson said the basketball team is currently being run by assistant coaches. “They can run practices but we hope to have a coach in place for when the season starts,” Patterson said. Prior to his time with the Bears, Davis spent two years as head coach at Kentwood, twice making the state tournament and winning an SPSL North Division title. Davis also worked six years as an assistant at Kentridge and four years as an assistant at Squalicum in Bellingham, helping them to two Class 2A state championships.

Home run brings back 1961 memory
Kolton Wong hit an inside pitch out of the park Sunday, Oct. 12, to hand the St. Louis Cardinals a win over the San Francisco Giants in the National League Championship Series. For some reason, the home run took me back to my favorite baseball player when I was a kid – Roger Maris and 1961. Most remember Maris playing for the New York Yankees in 1961 when he broke Babe Ruth’s single season home run record of 60. Maris turned on an inside curve ball and took it out for No. 61, Oct. 1, 1961 - the last day of the season. His record stood for 37 years. Maris was traded in 1966 and played his last two seasons in the majors for the St. Louis Cardinals. I remember a throw Maris made from left field that won the World Series for St. Louis (to me). That perfect strike from left field is etched in my memory far more than his home runs. I’m not sure why Maris captivated me as a kid, rather than Mickey Mantle, Whitey Ford or countless other baseball players. Maris seemed like a guy who made himself a great player. He had a lot to fight through. He was attacked by writers and pontificators from all over the country for breaking Ruth’s Dennis Box Editor

record. Some folks were hysterical about Ruth’s record falling to Maris, a regular guy. You would think Maris said God didn’t like TV, which was one of the 7-3/4 deadly sins in ‘61. My dad and I watched games (the few that were on) on a black and white Zenith TV he bought from Gronvik’s in Enumclaw in the early 1960s. It had a disk with little buttons you pushed and it would spin and find the channel. I still think it is the coolest thing ever invented except for maybe permanent press T-shirts. The Yankees won the World Series in ‘61,
beating the Cincinnati Reds in five games, but many were sure the universe would collapse after Maris took down Ruth’s record. Maybe our universe was salvaged in December of that year when Barbie finally found Ken and the balance returned to normal. The ‘61 worry warts didn’t know it, but they had much more to wring their hands about than Maris. By 1961, John Lennon had figured out how to tune his guitar. I thought Maris was a cool guy when I was kid, and I still do.

Impact fee waivers need to stop I am outraged that the city of Covington is proposing to reduce by 80 percent the school impact fees for two colossal apartment complexes (Affinity and Polaris) in Covington. The two apartment complexes include an age-restricted apartment and an affordable-family apartment. According to Richard Hart, the Growth Management Act requires the city to provide a variety of types of housing and “Covington has no affordable housing.” The apartment developers (Inland Group) initially petitioned the Kent School District to ask for a fee waiver. The KSD said no as there are ongoing costs associated with integrating students into the classroom. So Inland Group contacted Hart. Mr. Hart decided to grant an 80 percent reduction in school impact fees. Furthermore, only half of the 20 percent in fees will be paid by the developer (according to the Covington Reporter) the other half will be paid by the city of Covington. The Covington Reporter also stated, thus far, $1.5 million in impact fees were waived. Those fees included: traffic fees, some building permit fees and the future local property tax revenue from the apartments for the next 12 years. Let’s compare the Covington to the cities of Medina and Mercer Island. •Where is Medina and Mercer Island’s affordable housing? Does the Growth Management Act pertain to them? •How much of Medina and Mercer Island’s school funding goes to educational assistants, free and reduced lunch programs, special needs programs as compared to the Kent School District’s?
•What percentage of property value does Medina and Mercer Island pay in property taxes as compared to Covington? It is time to say enough. Hart took this inequity one step further by shifting the tax burden onto homeowners so developers can have a larger profit.

Mr. Reichert stood with the GOP to shut down the federal government in Oct. 2013. And he voted 54 times to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Our representative, Dave Reichert, voted against raising the federal minimum wage, against equal pay for equal work, against allowing most student loans to be refinanced and against denying government contracts to companies that move headquarters overseas. The above represents only a fraction of Dave Reichert’s votes against our interests. We have a clear choice this November. We can reelect Mr. Dave Reichert who will continue to support
gridlock or we can vote for Mr. Jason Ritchie, a candidate who will work to create living wage jobs, increase the minimum wage and support equal pay for equal work. But remember, however you feel about the candidates and issues – Vote!

Reichert works on fixing issues Dave Reichert is the best choice for the 8th District. He works on fixing the issues that really matter to the district. For example, quality education and affordable health care are just two of his focuses in Congress. He understands the importance that a quality education plays in our youth’s future. A good education means a good paying job. Congressman Reichert understands this and has demonstrated this in Congress, as is evident by his receiving of the “Champion of Children” award this year. Dave Reichert also focuses on ensuring affordable health care. He understands the importance of every American having access to quality affordable health care, including children. His membership to the Children’s Health Care Caucus delivers practical solutions to working towards this goal. Congressman Reichert is committed to working towards common sense solutions and deserves our continued support.

[ CAMERAS from page 1] came to a head as tensions remain in Ferguson, a St. Louis suburb, months after the controversial killing of Michael Brown, 18, who was shot to death by Officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9. Police have said there was a struggle between the two, while some witness’s claim Brown retreated from the officer with his hands in the air when he was shot. In the wake of the shooting, the Obama administration voiced its support for outfitting officers with body cameras — a piece of technology that can help provide proof for both police and the public in contentious situations but also raise questions about privacy when the cameras go into homes and/or record sensitive conversations. Beyond the ethical and public policy questions, there is also the matter of cost. Sgt. DB Gates, spokesperson for the King County Sheriff ’s Office, said in an email that Sheriff John Urquhart is an
advocate for adding dashboard cameras to deputy vehicles, but noted that there “are huge cost, storage and disclosure issues that would need to be addressed.” In September, during the throngs of the Ferguson debate, King County Councilman Dave Upthegrove introduced an ordinance that would create a pilot project for bringing video to the department. Upthegrove told The Reporter that his main focus is on body cameras, since dashcams, which have been widely available since the 1980s, have limitations with audio and what the camera actually captures. However, he said it made sense to do a thorough analysis of both options. He sees the experiment as a priority project next year. “I personally think (the cameras) are probably a good idea and hold a lot of promise but we have to move cautiously,” he said. Upthegrove said the ordinance starts the process of

building a pilot project, but before that can happen a group of “smart people” — members of the ACLU, prosecutor’s office, experts of public disclosure — will help the sheriff ’s office determine how many cameras would be needed, the cost and scope of the project and a set of policies. Any changes would require support from the deputies and their union, Upthegrove said. “Not a single colleague has raised concerns with me yet,” he said. Although implementing the project itself would be costly, Upthegrove said the first phase — setting up a task force and putting together recommendations — should be completed with existing funds. The majority of the eventual costs wouldn’t come from purchasing the cameras themselves, but from storing thousands of hours of data. Meanwhile, Upthegrove said the council must pay attention to how other local governments handle the situation and learn from their responses and experiments. “I just want us to move the ball forward,” he said. “I think that in the future we are going to have these.” According to the Washington Times, a 2013 report from the Department of Justice said police departments that use cameras found evidence that both officers and civilians “acted in a more positive manner when they were aware that a camera was present,” and that useful evidence of interactions often was captured on video. Upthegrove believes the cameras improve the behavior of citizens and cut false accusations. They also provide assurance and transparency to the public. “It really clears up the he-said-she-said, or he-said-hesaid scenarios,” Upthegrove said. “That cuts both ways.” The other consideration relates to the state’s public disclosure law. The cameras could cause compromising video available to the public through Freedom of Information Act requests. “How do we reconcile freedom for information with reasonable privacy expectations?” Upthegrove asked. “We don’t want a bunch of mobile surveillance cameras going around. There are barriers, but they are not insurmountable.” Upthegrove said the most likely scenario is to pass the budget in December and direct the sheriff ’s office to consider a program. He would hope for results by late spring or early summer, with a decision to fund and implement the pilot project for the summer. Results from that would decide whether to scale up or scratch the effort. Upthegrove acknowledged that the there is risk in waiting to enact the project, as the public is often fickle about the important issues of the day. But he doesn’t believe this issue is a flash in the pan. “I think there will be a continued interest in transparency and accountability,” he said. “But as Ferguson fades from the TV screen, it may cut public interest as well.” While Maple Valley and Covington contract their law enforcement services through the county, Black Diamond has its own police force. Similarly, however, none of Black Diamond’s seven officers have video or audio recording on their person or in patrol cars. Police Chief Jamey Kiblinger said there used to be VHS recorders in the cruisers, but the technology was not replaced or upgraded once they broke down. “Certainly if we had the money right now to put them in our cars we would,” she said. “There’s just no budget for them.”

Taking a closer look at today’s education Federalism and the 14th Amendment clashed with the creation of Jim Crow laws enacted in the South. Blacks and whites did not have equal education. The terms “due process of law” and “equal protection of the laws” first formed the basis of the landmark decision in the Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision of 1896, which enshrined states’ rights to segregate blacks and whites – as long as the education was equal. Nearly 60 years later the Court reversed itself in the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas decision. In this judgment the Supreme Court ruled that separate education of blacks and whites was not equal and therefore must end. The Civil Rights movement began as a result and the federal government forcibly stepped in to Southern schools to end segregation. In 1981, during the presidency of the conservative Ronald Reagan, a study came out called “A Nation at Risk.” The report was a “scathing appraisal of public education” according to an article by Sarah Garland in the Aug. 17, 2014, Christian Science Monitor article entitled, “US Education: How We Got Where We Are Today.” A federal commission, made up officials from business, government and education, In Focus

There is no mention of education in the Constitution. If that is the case, and it is, why is the federal government so deeply involved? Studies and policies variously labeled: federalism, A Nation At Risk, No Child Left Behind, and Common Core Standards are now being hotly debated as our new K-12 school year begins. To understand the current state of education in the light of history, let’s go back and look at it. When the Constitution was created in 1787, the assumption under federalism was that power would be divided between the states and the federal government. Education would be the under control of the states, as would marriages and divorces. This was pretty much the standard for many years, with each state doing whatever it thought best for its constituents when it came to education. When the 14th Amendment of the Constitution was ratified in 1870, new terms arose to deal with the ending of slavery: States were forbidden from, “depriving any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

The good news is the unemployment rate dropped to 5.9 percent, the lowest since July 2008, and 248,000 jobs were added in September. The bad news is the labor participation rate – the number of people actually working or looking for work – is at its lowest since 1978 when the U.S. economy was in a nose dive. And it continues to slide. The number of people in the job market fell by 97,000 workers for

November’s election needs to be about the people who are unemployed or underemployed and how best to increase wages. It worked for Bill Clinton. “It’s the economy, stupid” was coined by Clinton’s campaign strategist James Carville in Clinton’s successful 1992 presidential campaign against President George H. W. Bush. In March 1991, days after the ground invasion to liberate Kuwait, 90 percent of Americans approved of President Bush’s job performance.

had studied U.S. schools and found they were not competitive with the U.S.’s current rival at that time, Japan. SAT and standardized test scores were dropping. American students were not competitive on the world market. Something had to be done. “Twenty-three million Americans were functionally illiterate.” Worse still, American and their schools were complacent and crumbling, “threatening the very fabric of society.” This report sent off a shock wave across the nation, according to Garland, that is still being felt today. Schools are still in sitting in the corners with dunce caps and many of the principles from “A Nation at Risk” are now engrained in American education. The “Nation at Risk” report had five legs now found in the controversial Common Core Standards. These standards were meant to solve the problems in education. They are found today in 41 states: “improving content, raising standards, overhauling the teaching profession, adding time to the school day and year, and improving leadership and fiscal support,” according to Garland. The Republican George W. Bush administration and a Republican Congress passed “No Child Left Behind,” which helped institute standardized testing across the

nation. It also created the stigma of “failed schools” which we in Washington state and elsewhere are dealing with now under Democratic President Barack Obama who instituted “Race to the Top” and allowed for waivers to give time to the states to conform to NCLB. Washington state recently rejected being forced to have its teachers evaluated by these standardized tests and the state lost $40 million in federal funding. Approximately 80 percent of its schools are now “failing” and are required to send letters to parents notifying them of their status. There are a number of ironies that scream at me from this twisted educational history: Republicans complain that government is too big, yet it was Republicans who unconstitutionally encroached upon the role of the states over education. A Democratic president elected with the aid of unions is now punishing union members in Washington state for refusing to obey NCLB, a program enacted by a Republican president. Meanwhile, the nation that spawned “A Nation at Risk,” Japan, has been in the economic doldrums for more than 20 years. This is all a little mind numbing. Politics and logic seem to be mutually exclusive terms, especially when it comes to public education.

Don’t bake your Jack-O-Lantern into a pie long does it take for a pumpkin to rot after carving? T.S., Renton A. Jack does not make good pie. Pumpkins sold for carving are not as sweet and tender as baking pumpkins. Better to use a carving pumpkin on the front porch and a baking pumpkin for pies. You can expect a carved pumpkin to last for several weeks without rotting outdoors if it is kept cool and dry. You can find “baking pumpkins” at grocery stores and farmer’s markets. They are specially labeled and often more expensive. These baking pumpkins have great guts but no glory as they end up mashed and baked rather than carved and filled with light.

Pumpkins, squash and mums are all plants that celebrate the fall season. An inexpensive way to decorate your home or porch for the change in seasons is to harvest all your squash, apples, corn, tomatoes, peppers and other produce and display your garden bounty in a basket or tray. Even a basket of colorful leaves raked from the lawn and set near the front door will remind you and your visitors to enjoy the colors of the new season. If you have time and twine, you can use a stapler to secure maple leaves to a length of twine and then frame your front door or windows with a garland of fall colors.

home and are in the process of cutting back and moving plants. T.T., Sumner A. Congrats on the new home and renovation fever but you may want to wait until early spring to cut back any tall ornamental grasses. Winter is when the tall miscanthus grasses add texture and bird food to the landscape and the traditional pruning time in Western Washington is to celebrate the Valentine’s Day Massacre by cutting all brown and shaggy grasses down to a few inches tall. Early spring pruning allows the fresh spring growth to take over and hide the stumpy brown remnants of winter. Pruning tall grasses in the fall may not kill your grassy clumps but it could stimulate new growth right when winter arrives. Evergreen ornamental grasses that do not turn brown in the winter like black Mondo grass, carex, blue fescue and sedges should not be pruned at all. If you need to tidy up these evergreen grasses wait until spring and divide the clumps, removing weak and dead sections, but do not cut them down to the ground as you would taller grasses.

Q. Please explain again how and when to prune hydrangeas. I have one in the front that has beautiful purple blossoms but is getting too large. P., email A. Mop head hydrangeas with round flower heads can be pruned now or in the early spring by following the branch that has a flower cluster at the end and cutting down low inside the center of the shrub. This type of hydrangea is the macrophylla or big leaf hydrangea and it blooms on 2-year-old branches. If you prune back all the branches your hydrangea will not flower the next summer. The trick is to shorten up only the branches that have already flowered and leave the branches with green leaves but no blooms untouched as these will bloom next summer. Always shorten up any branches in the way of walkways or mowers. Put people before plants when it comes to overly ambitious growth of any tree or shrub.

CROHN’S DISEASE Crohn’s disease is a debilitative condition that causes swelling and irritation in the bowels. While researchers used to believe that diet and stress were the cause of the condition, they now suspect that, although those factors exacerbate the condition, there are different factors that cause it. Some suspects in the cause of Crohn’s are genetics and an immune system that is not functioning properly, or a virus or bacterium might trigger the disease. People with family members that are affected by Crohn’s seem to be more likely to succumb to it as well. Symptoms to look out for are diarrhea, abdominal cramps and pain, bloody stools, and ulcers. See your doctor if you’re concerned about bowel changes. While there is no cure for Crohn’s disease, treatment and therapy can help patients manage the symptoms. Drug therapy is used to manage the symptoms. The goal of treatment is to reduce the inflammation that triggers your signs and symptoms. It is also to improve long-term prognosis by limiting complications. To schedule an appointment, please call Southlake Clinic at (253) 395-1972.

halloween happenings Halloween Pet Safety By Kathy Lang, Family Dog Training Center
Halloween is right around the corner! What’s a dog (or cat) to do? From a dog’s perspective, walking the neighborhood after dark can be downright scary. There are lots of strangelooking short creatures running down the sidewalk. The creatures smell and sound like humans, but they certainly don’t look like normal children and adults. Dogs and cats who remain home as the trick-or-treaters arrive are exposed to the same sights, sounds and smells as those out on the street. In some ways it’s even more frightening since these aliens are invading the pet’s territory with constant doorbells, door knocks and “Trick or Treats!” What’s a concerned pet parent to do? Even if your dog has a rock-solid temperament and nothing bothers him, it’s still best to leave him at home on Halloween evening. You never know when something truly unusual might happen resulting in a long-term behavior issue for your pet. Some frightened dogs will try to escape; they can slip out of the collar or pull the leash out of your hand. Others will lunge and bite. Puppies and older dogs with fear issues should definitely stay home. Halloween is not the time to socialize or work through behavior problems. At home, it’s best to confine your dogs and cats so they cannot slip out the door. Pets who have a difficult time coping with lots of noise and activity should be exercised, fed and put to bed before the first door knock. A television or radio can keep your pet company and block out upsetting sounds. If you do decide to leave your dog or cat loose in the house, it’s best to have him wear a leash and stay back from the doorway. If he’s reliably obedience-trained, put him on a down stay in the foyer, or have a family member hold his leash each time the doorbell rings. If your dog will honor a baby-gate, that’s another way to keep him secure. For added safety, be sure your pet is microchipped and wears a current ID tag attached to his collar or harness. For especially anxious pets, talk with your veterinarian about medications that can help. And always remember to keep the pets away from the candy!

Unincorporated Area Council The Unincorporated Area Council discussed multiple topics including the annual model train show at its regular monthly meeting Monday, Oct. 6. Other topics included the unincorporated area transportation forum and the proposed marijuana processing and production
facilities. The Area Council’s next monthly meeting will be 7-9 p.m. Nov. 3, at the fire station, located in the Soutehast corner of 231st Street and state Route 169. A public comment period at the beginning of each meeting provides an opportunity to voice issues of concern to the council members and government officials in attendance.
ended 64 months ago,” The Wall Street Journal reported. Activists responded by pushing a $15 minimum wage. But low wages are caused by the bad economy. Artificially hiking them won’t solve anything, it will simply raise some people’s pay and eliminate other people’s jobs in order to pay for it. A recent Rasmussen Report shows that 65 percent of voters now believe the nation is headed down the wrong track, up from 63 percent a year ago. Voters also take a dim view of our economic conditions. Gallup’s Economic Confidence Index is the average of two components: how Americans view current economic conditions, and their perceptions of whether the economy is getting better or worse. In September, 20 percent said the economy is “excellent” or “good,” while 34 percent said it is poor. All that said, what should voters ask the politicians running for office this year? At the national level, Congress needs to pass progrowth legislation and President Obama needs to sign it. Among the measures that can stimulate our economy, create jobs and drive up wages are regulatory relief, fixes to Obamacare, approval of the Keystone XL pipeline and tapping our vast domestic energy resources, which would lower energy costs and create thousands of high-paying jobs. In Washington state, Gov. Inslee and state lawmakers should focus on streamlining and reducing regulations, keeping costs of doing business reasonable, growing international trade and avoiding costly new state programs requiring higher taxes and fees. The Wall Street Journal summarized it best: “If nothing else, the policy bias would be toward measures that increase growth, [rather] than higher taxes and additional costs for business. And, faster growth would go a long way to finally giving Americans a raise.” Don C. Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist.

Eleven projects aimed at improving water quality, protecting and restoring habitat, and supporting salmon recovery efforts in Water Resource Inventory Area 9 – which encompasses the Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound watershed received grant funding from the King County Flood Control District late last month. The Flood District Board of Supervisors approved $1.5 million in Cooperative Watershed Management
Grant funding for WRIA 9 to boost the clean water and salmon recovery efforts of local organizations. One such approved project is the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Green River Smolt Trap. This funding will contribute towards the operation of the Green River screw trap to help estimate the number of naturally produced Puget Sound Chinook originating in this river system as part of a long term monitoring effort. The grants, which also leveraged an additional $7.2 million for WRIA 9, help it carry out WRIA 9 salmon conservation projects for Endangered Species Act-listed species according to annual priorities set by the WRIA Forum.

Maybe he stands a chance after all My husband lives in a house with three women; he doesn’t stand a chance. The only other male beings in the house are usually cats and you know what we do to them? My daughters and I are close. We have an unusual bond that I’m not sure many mothers and daughters share; we’re just weird. We have odd, raucous moments of unexplained laughter. My daughters are extremely witty; they still surprise me and make me laugh out loud. I didn’t expect them to be so entertaining once they grew out of those cute, innocuous years of discovery and observation as toddlers. I don’t know that I’m as quick and witty as my daughters, but I am the one who taught them how to be sarcastic, so I can follow the line of fire. These moments of hilarity get a bit out of control and pretty soon we’re screaming with laughter, tears rolling down our faces. My husband walks in on these scenes and just leaves; to the neighbors it probably sounds like a domestic dispute. Sometimes he tries to figure out what’s so funny, but by the time the wild laughter has taken over, it’s too late for him to catch up. Often these sessions of merriment will happen at the dinner table with him right there to observe how it starts. But it happens as quickly and unexpectedly as a car accident so can be difficult to pinpoint where it all went wrong. These are teachable moments as I point out our behavior
is not necessarily good manners for public viewing or at a future partner’s home with their parents, which, of course, jumpstarts the glee. Things have quieted down a bit since my oldest went off to college. Now those moments are occasionally captured via Skype and the jokes and sarcasm fly back and forth through instant messaging. We don’t video chat because we’re usually doing other things while it’s going on. With just my youngest home, my husband is doing a little better getting in on the hilarity. After school and work, we’re often sitting in the living room chatting about our day. Things are said, reinterpreted or misinterpreted and off we go. One day, we were going up to take a few things to my daughter at college (she’s only 45 minutes away at DigiPen in Redmond). We had to stop at the store and pick up a couple last minute items. As we walked into the store, my youngest said, “Can I get some eye primer?� My husband said, “Primer? I have that in my shop. I use it for car parts so they don’t rust or as a base before I paint. I know about primer.� When my daughter explained it was eye makeup for a base for eye shadow (same idea, different product), my Gretchen Leigh

Better Business Bureau calls for cautious Halloween shopping As parents and kids gear up for Halloween by buying costumes, candy and decorations, the Better Business Bureau reminds all to be careful, especially when shopping at pop-up retail stores and online “bootiques.� According to the Halloween Industry Association, Halloween is the second largest commercial holiday in the United States, falling just behind Christmas. The bureau wants to ensure this year is filled with more treats than tricks. Don’t be haunted by low-quality products and spooky service: Be cautious with seasonal stores. Transitional store locations and temporary staffing of pop-up businesses may lead to increased difficulties in resolving post-holiday consumer disputes. Read store terms and conditions carefully before buying.
husband decided it was safer to follow me. “Where are you going?� “I need bleach and feminine hygiene products.� “Oh.� He hesitated, briefly thought over his choices, then followed me rather than hang out in the makeup department. I grabbed the feminine products from the correct aisle then went to the detergent aisle and grabbed some bleach. “I’ll hold that. Give me the bleach,� he begged, as my daughter joined us with her makeup products. With his masculinity intact, he followed us out of the store, my daughter giggling at him the whole time. One point of humor my husband is really good at is making eye-rolling puns (every time we have Caesar salad he yells “Seize her!�). After all these years (17 to be exact), he has finally rubbed off on my youngest daughter. She piped up with a bad pun at the dinner table the other day. Maybe he has a chance after all.

You can also read more of her writing and her daily blog on her websitelivingwithgleigh.com or on Facebook at “Living with Gleigh.� Her column is available every week at maplevalleyreporter.com under the Lifestyles section.
Check return policies. Some retailers will only offer in-store credit for exchanges or refuse refunds on seasonal merchandise, such as Halloween costumes. Pay close attention to time limits on returns and other restrictions. Be on the lookout for devilish links. According to Spywared.com, Halloween is the most profitable celebration for fraudsters, who earn money by spreading various scams on the Internet. Beware of pop-up ads, suspicious web links and fraudulent emails. Pay by credit card. Cash purchases are nearly impossible to refund, but credit transactions can be easily canceled if products are misrepresented or not delivered. Certain decorative lenses are illegal. Buying these lenses over-the-counter is illegal and can seriously damage eyesight. They are often sold in beauty stores, flea markets, convenience stores and on the Internet. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration defines contact lenses as medical devices, meaning they require prescriptions. More reviews and shopping advice can be found at BBB’s “fang� club.

Walk through any store and you’ll see racks of costumes, including dozens of designs for dogs (and even cats)! While some pets seem to enjoy getting dressed up, many do not. Some pets are afraid of the smells, textures and confining nature of many costumes and hats. However, if you take some time and use some treats, you can train most dogs (and some cats!) to willingly participate in this Halloween tradition. If your pet is uncomfortable being brushed, bathed, held and cuddled, he may have more issues with full-body costumes. A fancy collar or loose-fitting cape might be the best choice for this dog or cat. To make dress-up stress free, be sure to start small, move slowly and use lots of treats. Put your pet on leash and feed him with the hand that’s also holding the leash close to his collar or harness. Let him sniff the costume. Build a positive association with the costume in one or two short training sessions. Your pet should quickly come running when he sees his costume, now that costume equals yummy treats. Keep your dog or cat on leash and ask him to sit, stand or down. Use a command (train it separately before adding the costume) to keep the pet in position while you gently and slowly move the costume around his body. Continue to use lots of treats and praise. When you first attempt to actually put the costume on your pet, you’ll have the best success after an exercise session and but before a meal. A tired, but hungry, dog or cat will be more cooperative. If the costume is elaborate, or has multiple parts, let your pet get used to one piece at a time. Once your pet is fully dressed, the leash and treats will help him understand that he can walk and prevent him from eating his new outfit! Keep the dress-up session short and continue to reward your pet with lots of treats. Be sure to remove the costume (and put it out of reach) when you’re done with your 2014 Halloween photo session!
It’s In The Water! by Melanie Caviness, DVM Fall is my favorite time of year; I think there is no better place to live in the world than the Pacific Northwest.The days are still sunny and warm, but there is a refreshing briskness to the air. When I drove past the Cedar River this weekend, the A-frame signs, “Cedar River Salmon Journey,” were on the side of the road reminding me the salmon are again running. If you haven’t gone to the river for the interpretative talk on the salmons’ journey up the Cedar River, I highly recommend it. There is also no better time to walk the Cedar River trail. As beautiful as the rivers, streams, lakes and wetlands are that surround us in Maple Valley, they can lead to disease in our pets. The salmon returning up river can cause severe illness. Salmon poisoning in dogs is caused from a dog eating raw salmon that is infected with a fluke, Nanophyetes. The fluke, carries a type of bacteria called Neorickettsia, which is what actually causes disease. This time of year, if you take your dog for a walk by the river, a leash is mandatory to keep your dog from eating the salmon carcasses. We have already seen one case this year and the salmon will be around for a little while longer, and preventing exposure is much better than treating the disease. Another disease we see year round is Giardia. Giardia is a protozoan parasite that causes diarrhea in people and animals. Giardia is spread through the fecal/oral route. The organism is passed through the feces and causes infection after being swallowed. It can be one of the causes of travelers’ diarrhea and also has the nickname of “Beaver Fever” among outdoor enthusiasts. For my patients the most common source of infection is secondary to exposure to water contaminated with the protozoa, but exposure can also come from coming in contact with infected surfaces, eating uncooked contaminated food and traveling to countries where giardia is common. Giardia can be difficult to diagnose and routine in-clinic fecal testing methods can miss the diagnosis. Newer methods using centrifugation are more successful picking up the protozoa. A more specialized test checking for antigen against Giardia might be necessary to diagnose the disease. Of all the fecal tests we send in, 6% are positive for giardia organisms and 11% of the antigen tests are positive. We recommend annual routine fecal testing on all pets, so even some normal fecal tests come back positive for giardia. We only run the antigen test on abnormal feces, so 1 out of 10 of our patients with diarrhea have positive giardia tests. Symptoms of giardia are fairly non-specific gastrointestinal disease including diarrhea, gas, greasy feces, stomach cramping, nausea and weight loss.There are a few different medications that can be used to treat infection and sometimes they are used in combination, along with symptomatic treatment to decrease intestinal irritation. Not all pets infected with giardia show disease, it is more common to see disease in young or debilitated animals and animals kept in densely populated situations (kennels and animal shelters) Decontamination of the environment and the pet to prevent re-infection is important. Giardia doesn’t survive long in a dry environment, but can survive months in a cool water source. A dilute bleach solution can be used on hard surfaces. After treatment, bathing your pet to remove any giardia organisms that may be on your pet’s coat is important. Most importantly, removing or restricting exposure to water sources is the best prevention. Risk of transmission from pets to humans is low, because the type of giardia that infects pets is not typically the type of giardia that infects humans. However, an immune-compromised person may be at a higher risk. It is always good to practice good hygiene, washing your hands thoroughly after touching your pet. I have put the links from the CDC regarding giardia infection in people and pets on my website, www.wildernessvet.com.

• How can I prepare my dog for travel in an airplane? Travel requirements for pets vary between airlines and destinations. It is important to check with your airline well in advance, and if you will be traveling internationally, to also check what the importation rules are for your destination country. In most cases dogs must travel in the cargo compartment of the airplane (except for some small dogs in carriers and service dogs that can travel with their owners). In most cases it will be necessary for your dog to travel in an airline approved carrier; therefore, your first step is to teach your dog to relax in a small, confined area, ideally in the appropriate-sized crate.You might also desensitize your dog to sounds by using recordings of airplanes. If you’re pet appears to be anxious, proceed slowly, and gradually increase the noise volume and the time in the carrier.You may need to start with the crate door open, spending time near your dog while it remains in the crate, giving favored toys and treats in the crate or by placing a piece of your clothing in the crate along with the dog bedding. • Why is confinement training necessary prior to travel? "If you are about to introduce your dog to an unfamiliar form of travel it is likely to cause some degree of fear or anxiety”. If you are about to introduce your dog to an unfamiliar form of travel it is likely to cause some degree of fear or anxiety. By training your dog to be relaxed and comfortable when confined, whether it is in a crate or by means of a seat belt or harness in a car, you can reduce its fear and anxiety. In addition, it will be safer for both you and your dog if the dog has already learned how to be calm and settled in the confinement area • How can I train my dog to travel safely in my car? A dog traveling in a car should always be restrained in some way to increase safety and a leash always used when removing the dog from the car to avoid escape or injury. There are several ways that you can travel quietly and safely with your dog, including using a carrier or crate, a harness or seatbelt, or a head halter. Any of these devices will help to ensure the safety and security of both the pet and the driver. However, while these devices can help you to calm the pet during car travel; they may initially increase anxiety if you do not take the time to train your pet to accept the restraint. Choose the device that you feel will be most appropriate for both restraining and calming your dog. If you plan to use a seat belt or harness, begin in a quiet home environment without distractions and slowly condition your dog to wear the restraint, using favorite rewards. Once your dog is conditioned to the crate or restraint device, you can proceed to training and rewarding your dog while wearing the seat belt or resting in its crate in the car. • What else can I use to make my dog less stressed while traveling? You can reduce stress associated with new situations by using a familiar crate and bedding and favorite toys. Also you can try using Dog Appeasing Pheromone (DAP) TM spray in the kennel or placing a DAPTM collar on your dog. This pheromone may help reducing your dog's anxiety and fear. One study found that aromatherapy might also aid in calming the pet. Other natural alternatives have also been suggested, but unless there is data to support their efficacy, anecdotal recommendations should not be considered reliable. • Can I use sedatives or other medication for car and air travel? This is certainly an option if your dog cannot relax during travel and may injure or harm itself. However, you should talk to your veterinarian first to assess your dog's health and consider a medication trial at home or in the veterinary hospital before actually traveling.
