Continuing a legacy of service

BY REBECCA GOURLEY rgourley@maplevalleyreporter.com

W

ith the holidays in full swing, one thing remains on many people’s minds; food. Feasting on a large dinner on the fourth Thursday of November is tradition. But, for many people, getting enough food to feed their families is still a struggle.

Donations of food are in high demand during the winter months. That’s where the Jerry Woods Holiday Engine comes in.

The program is not, by any means, the only opportunity for people to donate holiday food to those in need, but it is probably one of the most special.

Jerry Woods started the program, then named just “Holiday Engine,” in 2008 after it went on hiatus for a year when his grandchildren were still quite young.

They are now in their teenage years and still help with the program, despite their grandfather passing away in 2010.

Jerry passed away a little over a year after he was diagnosed with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, better known as ALS. But, he was still Janet Loe, who has been volunteering at the food bank for 14 years, hands a bag of groceries to a client. Loe’s son, John Madden, able to experience, for one season, is a firefighter for Maple Valley and will be one of the drivers of the fire engine during the Jerry Woods Holiday Engine Food Drive in December. Dennis Muretta, another volunteer at the food bank, is in the background. REBECCA GOURLEY, The Reporter [ more LEGACY page 3 ]

Community center ends contract for city gym

BY ERIC MANDEL emandel@covingtonreporter.com

There are some holes in the relationship between the city of Black Diamond and the nonprofit Black Diamond Community Center. The mayor says the two sides worked tirelessly to come to agreements on insurance and a discrepancy over the community gym.

Keith Watson, BLACK the center’s DIAMOND Board of Directors President, said a lack of communication by the city has forced the board of directors’ hands.

Then there is the literal piece of missing information — the fifth page in a lease agreement that neither city staff nor community center officials can find.

The commission agreed to have at least two additional meetings early next year to address Harper’s idea. After the commission makes a visit to the two park sites in question, Henry’s Switch and the property at 216th Avenue SE and SE 276th Street, they will hold a public workshop and a public hearing to discuss the potential for both properties.

Dates for those meetings have not been scheduled yet.

Regan Bolli is one step away from taking over as the next Covington city manager.

After a day of interviewing the final four candidates Nov. 18, the City Council unanimously chose Bolli as the candidate. The council authorized Mayor Margaret Harto, Mayor Pro Tem Jeff Wagner and the city’s personnel manager to negotiate a contract.

Derek Matheson, the former city manager, resigned Aug. 8 to become the city administrator for Kent.

During the interim, Finance Director Rob Hendrickson served as city manager.

The Prothman Company from Issaquah conducted the search, which resulted in nearly 40 applications.

The applicants were narrowed down to the final four

by Nov. 18.

At the council meeting, Councilman Mark Lanza made the motion to select Bolli.

“We had four outstanding candidates and each one had unique qualities,” Lanza said. “Mr. Bolli is a dynamic person. He stood out with his enthusiasm. I think he is going to be good.”

Councilman Wayne Snoey said, “I’m very excited for the city of Covington. I was pleased he had done excellent research (on the city). Regan will bring energy and excitement.”

Harto said the council worked very hard interviewing the candidates, “This is a proud moment. We are unique and have a reputation as a city. We have an exciting future ahead to us.”

The Compleat Home Gardener

BY DENNIS BOX dbox@covingtonreporter.com

The end of November is the beginning of the winter planning season.

Winter evenings are made for garden scheming and dreaming and here are a few ideas to steal from our recent tour of Sicily, a sundrenched island sitting off the south toe of Italy. Our small group visited Sicily “off the beaten path” and discovered a people rich in history, wine, olive oil and a slower pace of life based on outdoor living and dining.

ADD COLOR WITH PAINT, TILE AND GARDEN ART Gardeners in warm climates have always looked for ways to add color that does not require a watering can. Sicilian gardens are rich with ceramic tiles, painted pots and garden statuary. Stucco walls are painted peach or pink and native stone mellows

to gold to create a lovely backdrops for plants. In one poolside garden at a resort in Taormina, we admired colorful square pots that were made from five 12-inch by 12-inch ceramic floor tiles. A simple do-it-yourself project, each brightly painted tile was glued to the edge of a 12 inch bottom base tile and secured with construction adhesive. The result is a tile cube open at the top that can be filled with potting soil and heat-loving plants like palms, plumbago, thungbergia, sedums and citrus fruits.

TURN YOUR BALCONY INTO A HANGING GARDEN Traveling the world should always make one appreciate home and visiting a country like Sicily with high taxes and higher unemployment made us very aware of our status as “rich Americans.” All over Europe, fewer citizens own property and can afford the luxury of a large garden. Renting a small apartment does not keep Italians from creating rooftop, balcony and even

alley gardens. Geraniums spill from terra cotta pots over wrought iron railings, potted palm and orange trees cast needed shade on rooftop gardens and vegetable lovers harvest eggplant, tomatoes and basil from narrow alleys where containers may be as economical as recycled olive oil tins or plastic water jugs.

Visiting Sicily showed us there is no excuse not to make the world a more beautiful place by growing plants. Lack of water and money in this country did not mean a lack of gardens or passion for living.

DECORATIVE LENS CAUSES STRUCTURE FIRE Maple Valley Fire & Life Safety said a decorative lens that magnified the sun caused a porch fire on the 24200 block of Southeast 196th Street.

Crews responded to a residential structure fire at 12:34 p.m. on Nov. 12 and were able to contain the blaze to the front porch.

Firefighters entered the structure to perform a search and found no occupants at home. Crews used a water shuttle operation because of the lack of hydrants in the area. Official estimated the total loss at $3,000.

what he had worked so hard to bring back.

The program runs for three weekends in December. Two Maple Valley fire engines drive through various neighborhoods in town and collect food and monetary donations for the Maple Valley Food Bank.

They also collect donations at two local grocery stores, Wal-Mart (Covington) and Grocery Outlet (Maple Valley), throughout the month of December.

Ray Orme, Jerry’s best friend, said Jerry was upset when he found out the program was ending in 2008.

“He calls me and says, ‘Ray, they’re stopping the fire engine,’” Ray recalled.

He said Jerry went to the fire marshal and they explained that they didn’t have the funds to support it. In 2007, the fire district

WHAT TO DONATE Representatives of the food bank say there are a few items that they constantly need. If you’re considering a donation through any food drive this season, consider donating the following items.

Food: Peanut butter, tuna, chili, canned fruit and soup.

Non-food items (food stamps can’t be used to purchase these): Toiletries, diapers and formula.

levy failed which caused the fire department to cut the program from its budget. “(Jerry) said, ‘They’ll do it if we pay for the diesel,’” Ray said of their conversation.

The pair, who considered themselves siblings as opposed to friends, even to the point of Jerry listing Ray as his brother while he was in the hospital, agreed to split the cost of the fuel.

Since then, the program has grown significantly.

Before Jerry resurrected the program, it was simply a way to bring the citizens of Maple Valley a little holiday cheer, with a visit from Santa Claus. The Woods family added the food drive portion and started to get local groups involved.

Girl and boy scout troops, youth groups, and sports teams are helping with the Holiday Engine this year. The youngsters will put an empty bag on every doorstep in all the neighborhoods the engines will be visiting that week.

Then, when the night comes around to visit the neighborhoods, the kids will collect the bags that have been filled.

Santa’s helpers on the fire engines will also be able to take money donations using credit and debit cards, a new feature this year.

In addition, there will be

GPS tracking on both fire engines so people can check the program’s website and see exactly where they are and when the train will arrive in their neighborhood.

Last year the program brought in over 14,000 pounds of food and over $3,000 in cash donations for the food bank just from the fire engine routes. An additional $4,500 and 3,600 pounds of food was donated through their stands at the grocery stores. That total is nearly a 900 percent increase from their 2009 total for food donations and over 1,000 percent increase in their cash donations from 2009.

Lila Henderson, executive director of the food bank, says the program is one of their largest in terms of donations.

“It makes a big impact on us,” she said.

The food bank distributes about 80,000 pounds of food, each month, for November and December. This food drive contributes more than 10 percent of the food donations for those two months.

Ray expects this year to produce even bigger results.

“It’s just growing exponentially,” he said.

But, it does take a big chunk of the community to pull it off.

Ray said last year over 1,000 people helped with

the planning and execution of the food drive.

“It’s really a community

Help Bring 300,000 Meals to Hungry Western Washington Families this Holiday More than half a million people in the Western Washington region go hungry every year. For more than a decade, QFC and you—our customers—have worked hard to reduce that number. Since 2001, our Bringing Hope to the Table campaign has put more than 4 million meals on the tables of hungry families in the Northwest. This year, our goal is to provide a meal for 300,000 hungry people in our community.

From now through December 28, Food Lifeline and QFC are teaming up to give the community more opportunities to stock food bank shelves. Here’s how you can help at your local QFC store: • Purchase a $10 pre-made bag filled with nutritious, protein-packed, food-bank approved products at any QFC location. Bag contents include peanut butter, steel-cut oats and more.

• Make a $1 or $5 cash donation when you check out.

• Drop your change in the coin boxes located at the register.

• Look for special tags throughout the store marking food-bank recommended items. Purchase one or more and drop them in designated bins at the front of every store.

• Purchase participating Kendall Jackson wines. For every bottle sold, Kendall Jackson will donate 50 cents to Bringing Hope to the Table campaign.

• Purchase any Full Sail product. The Hood River brewery will donate $1 for every 12 bottles sold to the Bringing Hope to the Table campaign.

• Purchase participating Bailey’s product. For every case sold, Bailey’s will donate $6 to the Bringing Hope to the Table campaign.

Join us in reaching our goal of delivering 300,000 meals to hungry area families this year. For more details, visit www.qfc.com/community. Thanks for all you do to help the fight against hunger during the holiday season and beyond.

I-594 not enough for Democrats

Democrats are trying to sort out what went wrong in November’s general election and why the presence of Initiative 594 on the ballot didn’t motivate more of their voters to turn out.

Party leaders all along thought the popular measure requiring background checks be conducted on buyers of guns online and through private sales would spur some of those prone to skipping midterm elections to participate.

They believed a small boost of pro-Democrat voters in just the right places could swing a close race and maybe upend a targeted Republican.

It didn’t play out that way. Democrats lost seats in both chambers – sometimes in communities where the measure is passing handily.

Republicans picked up one seat in the Senate in south King County and four in the House, deposing three incumbent Democrats in the process. Those seats are in districts covering swaths of Pierce, Thurston, Clark, Mason and Kitsap counties.

Initiative 594 is passing in all those counties, except Mason, according to data assembled thus far by initiative supporters. Precinct-by-precinct details won’t be available until next month when election results are certified.

“I don’t think it hurt us but I don’t think it helped us to the degree that we thought it would,” admitted Adam Bartz, executive director of the Senate Democratic Campaign Committee.

One explanation is that in spite of polls detailing the measure’s popularity with voters, only a handful of Democrats associated themselves with the initiative. Only a few were like Sen. Marko Liias, D-Everett, who actively Jerry Cornfield

campaigned for it and went on to win with 54.5 percent.

Most Democratic candidates steered clear of the measure as best they could. They feared any overt demonstration of support would trigger a reaction from the NRA like in 1994 when the national gun rights group helped defeat Democrats who endorsed an assault weapons ban. The NRA flexed its muscle again three years later by helping upend a statewide gun control-related initiative.

Rep. Sam Hunt, D-Olympia, chairman of the House Democratic Campaign Committee, said he didn’t view I-594 as a “positive tool” and knew Democratic candidates avoided using it because of what the NRA did in 1994.

Yet Hunt didn’t think it would have made a difference had they embraced it more strongly.

“We didn’t energize our base enough and

the other side did,” he said. “I just think we got caught in the wave.”

Backers of Initiative 594 wonder if Democrats may revise their analysis when the final numbers are known for the election.

While I-594 is losing in several counties, it is passing on the strength of votes from Democrats, Republicans and independents where many of this year’s most contested legislative battles took place.

“We demonstrated we can take on the gun lobby and win,” said Geoff Potter, spokesman for the Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility that conducted the campaign.

“That’s a message candidates could hear and legislators should keep in mind going into the next session,” he said.

And one that Democrats may wish they had paid more attention to in the election.

ing control of the Senate as well as continuing to control the House. The pattern is a seesaw and here’s why.

Voters are increasingly becoming more independent, favoring neither party as time passes. Meanwhile, the government has become hyper-partisan. The reason for this is due to demographics. The Democratic base, being made up of the young and minorities, tends to be more personality centered rather than issues centered. Therefore they don’t get as excited about midterm elections and don’t show up at the polls as much as the Republicans do.

Republicans, being fewer in number, but mainly blue collar, white and older, tend to turn out for midterms more consistently and win the midterms. Obama’s victory in the 2012 election with only 39 percent of the white vote shows this, when his demographic of voters turned out again.

This current Republican demographic, The “Silent Generation” tends to be more conservative than its now disappearing predecessor, “The Greatest Generation” – those who endured the Great Depression and World War II. Further, according to Sappenfield’s article, the divisions between liberals who vote Democratic, and conservatives who vote Republican, is more clearly delineated now than in the past when there was more crossover voting.

So, rather than Republicans bringing about

major change in this midterm election, they merely cemented the already existing patterns.

In other words, frustrating gridlock will likely continue for the rest of the decade, according to Sappenfield.

As the more conservative “Silent Generation” dies off, they will be replaced by Boomers who have tended to swing right or left, but mainly left. The decreasing numbers of Republicans and the increasing power of Latinos will mean fewer chances for Republicans to gain control of the government, unless they change their approach.

If Republicans start to compromise with President Obama, more laws may get passed, but it won’t cause their base to be excited about turning out to vote, because taking hard stands is what brings out the party faithful.

Further, as time passes, the Republican midterm advantage may end, as more of the “Silents” die off. Clearly, the Republicans will have to open their doors to minorities or they will be in big trouble.

When I was a teen and I broke my nose in P.E., the doctor I was taken to gave me a lesson in physics: “When an immovable object meets an irresistible force, something has got to give.” Republicans need to heed the message the doctor gave me, or they will cease to be a major party in the future and that will be a sad course of events.

Republicans may find that their midterm election victory is only temporary. In two years it will be the Democrats’ time to come roaring back to victory in 2016 with the presidential contest. National elections may be in a pattern that could last the rest of the decade: Republicans win the midterms and the Democrats win the presidency.

This analysis comes from Mark Sappenfield in an article from the Nov. 9, 2014, “Christian Science Monitor” article entitled, “Why the Republican Midterm Election Might be Less Impressive Than It Seems.”

According to Sappenfield, Barack Obama won the election for presidency in 2008, followed by the Republicans winning control of the House in 2010. The president won re-election in 2012 despite being seen as vulnerable and in spite of the millions of dollars spent by Republicans to beat him.

King County News and Notes FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT ADOPTS 2015 BUDGET The King County Flood Control District Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted a 2015 budget that ensures that needed flood control projects will continue even as the district prepares for long-range work that will protect King County residents and businesses.

The $55.6 million budget will pay for work underway along the Green River, Cedar River, White River and the Snoqualmie River Basins. It will also fund the implementation of river corridor plans that are part of the comprehensive approach the Flood District has taken to protect these vital waterways.

“The district has undertaken a rigorous work plan for the coming year,” Flood District Chair Reagan Dunn said in a press release. “This budget positions the Flood Control District to focus and prioritize on projects that uphold our obligation of protecting King County residents and businesses from flooding.”

A number of projects will continue to move forward as a result of this budget including the gravel removal in the Cedar River, which is being led by the City of Renton. The $5.3 million project will remove approximately 125,000 cubic yards of accumulated sediment from the river channel in 2015. This work ensures that, sites like the Boeing 737 production facility at the Renton Municipal Airport will be protected from flooding events.

The cities in the Green River Valley will also benefit from this budget. The Russell Road upper levee improvements will reconstruct the existing system of levee and revetments along the right (east) bank of the Green River between South 212th Street and river mile South 231st Way in Kent in order to provide longterm flood protection and improve riparian and aquatic habitat.

Along with approving the budget, the Board of Supervisors adopted the 2015 work program, six-year capital improvement program, oversight budget, water resource inventory area funding, flood reduction fund grant funding and subregional opportunity fund project list.

NEW AUDITOR POSITION CREATED FOR KING COUNTY METRO The Metropolitan King County Council unanimously approved an ordinance that creates a full-time, ongoing and independent auditor of Metro Transit.

Previous audits of Metro Transit have consistently found savings and areas for

November 28, 2014 [5]

improvement. An audit completed in 2009 resulted in approximately $800 million in net positive impact for the agency.

In reviewing Metro’s budget, which approaches $1 billion annually, the new independent auditor will make recommendations for continued improvement and identification of potential savings and efficiencies.

The auditor will be required to file a report to the Council and the public by July 1 of every even-numbered year. The report will summarize the results of his or her work in the previous 24 months, and detail what actions the county took in response to any findings in transit audits and assessments completed in the previous three years.

KING COUNTY COUNCIL ADOPTS BUDGET THAT KEEPS BUSES ON THE ROAD The Metropolitan King County Council voted Nov. 17 to fully fund current levels of Metro service. The unanimously adopted 2015-2016 biennial King County Budget ensures that 400,000 annual hours of proposed service reductions at Metro Transit will not take place.

Following the defeat of Proposition 1 in April of this year, County Executive Dow Constantine asked the Council to approve legislation that would have reduced Metro bus service by 550,000 hours between September 2014 and September 2015.

HEALTH CARE “OPEN ENROLLMENT” LAUNCHES More than one-third of the uninsured in King County reportedly enrolled in a health insurance plan during the first year of expanded access under the federal Affordable Care Act. King County will continue its ‘all-hands-on-deck’ approach with the goal of cutting the rate of the uninsured further.

During open enrollment, from Nov. 15 through Feb. 15, individuals can purchase health insurance plans through the Washington Healthplanfinder website or through the state’s help-line, at (855) 923-4633.

The Public Health department is coordinating nearly 100 outreach locations in November, which will be staffed by local organizations with certified in-person assisters, called “navigators.”

Those who do not enroll in a health insurance plan in 2015 may be subject to a fine of $325 per individual or up to two percent of their income, whichever is greater.

OFFERING EVENING AND SATURDAY APPOINTMENTS DRUNK OR DRUGGED DRIVING There are many times when a person should not be operating a vehicle. Driving when not well rested is a bad idea, as is getting behind the wheel when too stressed out. But of utmost importance is knowing when to call on a designated driver. Pay attention to the warnings on the labels of prescription medications. If they say not to operate a motor vehicle, then don’t. It is far better to ask a friend or family member for the favor of a ride than to risk injury or death to yourself and others by operating under the influence. Furthermore, never drive while under the influence of an illegal drug, and know the limits on alcoholic beverages.

Having a physical dependence on alcohol means that you need more and more alcohol to feel drunk. No one knows what causes problems with alcohol, but health experts believe it may be a combination of a person’s environment, genes, and psychology.

Property tax filings needed to be collected by Dec. 6 to be used for public safety, including fire, police and emergency services.

Adding a 1 percent increase over last year’s levy is the maximum allowed for cities with populations under 10,000.

$1,433,816. The increase will add $14,338, for a total of $1,448,154. That would not include new construction, state assessed property and any adjustments.

King County estimated the city’s total 2015 assessed valuation at $601,717,756, which is an increase of $53,318,513 over 2014.

That’s a 10 percent increase.

Each property tax bill is calculated by the county,

which sets the actual levy rate once they have finalized the assessments and individual valuations.

Project Description: The City of Covington plans to improve existing stormwater collection, conveyance, and treatment systems within Timberlane Estates, incorporating low impact development best management practices. The project area currently has some flow control infrastructure, but limited water quality facilities. An undersized treatment pond exists near Cedar Valley Elementary School at the intersection of SE 263rd Street and 193rd Place SE which is currently limited in its efficacy due to sedimentation and adjacent hillside seeps. The drainage easement in the plat is approximately 3,200-feet long and includes both piped and open channel stormwater conveyance and discharges at a perched outfall in Jenkins Creek Park that has a severely incised channel.

…Pampered Pets

Traveling with your dog • 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.

Your child (or significant other) is already hinting about a puppy, or dog, for Christmas. Good idea or not? The quick answer: Probably not. Adding a pet to the family is a serious commitment, one that requires much consideration, discussion, research and planning. Dogs are not like computers or gadgets that you choose based on looks or features, and discard when the next model comes out or your needs change. Dogs are a life-time commitment.

If your entire family is eagerly looking forward to a four-legged addition, and everyone is ready to help with housebreaking, crate training, leash walking, exercise, obedience training, household manners, poop patrol, veterinary visits and you have the finances to pay for all the associated expenses that come with owning a dog, that’s wonderful. You’re ready for the next step!

Answer these questions: What breed? Or combination of breeds? Young puppy? Adolescent dog? Adult or senior?

Breeder, rescue or shelter? Base these decisions on your lifestyle. Is your family high energy, active and social? Do you have young children? Do the adults work outside the home? Are the dog’s primary caregivers easy-going and laid back? Do you have a large, securely fenced yard? Is your vehicle equipped to safely transport your new addition when it’s fully grown?

Anyone in the family have allergies? How much grooming and shedding are you willing to handle?

Way too many dogs are returned to their breeders or dropped off at shelters because their caregivers did not honestly evaluate their readiness for a canine companion, and this happens more frequently during the holidays. Do your research, both online and in person.

If your family is truly ready to add a dog in December, plan for a long weekend or week of vacation when your house is quiet. This will make the transition as easy as possible. Many breeders will encourage their prospective puppy owners to wait until after the holidays to bring their new bundle of joy home.

Instead of putting a puppy in someone’s Christmas stocking, wrap a fancy leash and collar, or dog toys, or new crate for under the tree.

Celebrate your well-trained dog!

Rodent Control Considerations

by Melanie Caviness, DVM

It’s getting cold outside and everyone is starting to spend more time inside. Unfortunately this includes rodents. At my house, the barn becomes a warm place for the local rats and mice to hide. However, my barn cat, Buster, is ever vigilant and has no intention of letting these uninvited guests stay in his barn. I often have a “present” waiting for me in the morning, the carcass of an unlucky visitor that Buster has left for me as a trophy.

I have always said the safest form of rodent control is a good cat, especially since rodenticides cause so many problems in my patients. Poisoning with rodent baits is one of the top 10 poisonings reported to the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center. In 2013, there were 6,803 reports of rodenticide poisoning, almost 20 per day!

Treatment of rat bait ingestion used to be fairly straight forward, most rodenticides contained anticoagulant, or warfarin type drugs. This class of drugs has an antidote,Vitamin K. So our standard protocol would be to make the animal vomit if ingestion has been very recent, and then put the pet on vitamin K for 2 weeks. After treatment we check a blood test to make sure clotting was normal.

Newer regulations from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) require discontinuing the longer acting (second generation) anticoagulant chemicals in rodenticides. Short acting (first generation) anticoagulant will still be available. The first generation anticoagulant drugs have the advantage of still having an antidote,Vitamin K, but the disadvantage is that some strains of rodents have developed a resistance to the drug, making it less effective.

Many rodenticides contain bromethalin, which affects the nervous system and doesn’t have an antidote. This is very concerning to veterinarians, because treatment has to be started immediately after ingestion to reduce absorption of the toxin and prevent symptoms. Symptoms are seizures caused by brain swelling. Once seizures start, unfortunately mortality is 100%. For dogs the lethal dose of bromethalin is fairly large, 36 times the amount of an anticoagulant rodenticide. Cats, however, are more sensitive to intoxication than dogs. 2 mg of bromethalin can be lethal to a 10 pound cat, whereas a similarly sized dog’s toxic dose is close to 10 times that amount, or 21 mg.

The newer regulations from the EPA does require all bait is in more secure containers or stations. So the days of leaving out green pellets or wafers are going away. However, the containers aren’t impossible to get into if the dog is motivated by the smell of the bait. Also, cats are more frequently poisoned by eating rodents that have eaten the bait, most cats won’t eat the bait on its own.

A less common ingredients in rat baits are cholecalciferol, which causes kidney failure and zinc phosphide which forms a toxic gas when mixed with stomach acid and water. Just like bromethalin, neither has an antidote.

Overall, pet owners need to be aware what the active ingredient is in any product they put in their pet’s environment.

It is also important to keep packaging available, because if a pet does get into a product, it is very important to know what the toxin is and if specific treatment is available. Ideally, pet owners will either put any toxin well out of reach of their pets or better yet, use more pet friendly options. As I mentioned previously, a cat is an excellent option, or mouse traps strategically placed with a safe luring agent (my father had the best success with peanut butter).
