New chief joins Covington Police Department City Council to put Andrew McCurdy will lead the force following the retirement of Kevin Klason BY SARAH BRENDEN Reporter
T
he Covington Police Department has a new chief heading the force. Andrew McCurdy started July 1 as
the police chief after former chief Kevin Klason retired June 30. McCurdy still works for the King County Sheriff ’s Office but has been assigned as the chief of Covington under a contract between the sheriff ’s office and the city, McCurdy wrote in an email. McCurdy is originally from the San Francisco Bay Area but has been living in the Puget Sound area since 1996. He comes from a family of police. McCurdy said both his father and
mother were police officers in California and his brother is a sergeant with the King County Sheriff ’s Office. His career in law enforcement started in 1991 where he was a community service officer in San Francisco. Five years later, in 1996, McCurdy was hired as a police officer in Washington. He said after two years he was transferred to the King County Sheriff ’s Office and was assigned to the Maple [ more CHIEF page 5 ]
$22 million park bond on April ballot BY REBECCA GOURLEY Reporter
The Maple Valley City Council is aiming to put a $22 million general obligation bond on the April 2016 special election ballot. The money would be used for park projects throughout the city including developing the rest of Summit Park, doing maintenance and repairs at Lake Wilderness Park and golf course and developing a 15-20 acre park on the Legacy site. In March, the council asked the Parks and Recreation Commission to fine tune a list of priority projects and their associated costs to later put into a bond proposal. At the July 13 meeting, the commission and council met MAPLE to discuss the projects and the VALLEY bond proposal and terms.
LAKE WILDERNESS PARK A master plan of the park was created in 2007. The plan was cut into 10 phases. Some of the items on the list of projects that would be funded by the April bond, if it passes, would be reconfiguring the entrance to the lodge and arboretum, establishing a more permanent storage facility for Parks and Recreation staff and constructing additional parking in the park.

Maple Valley approves ILA with school district BY REBECCA GOURLEY Reporter
At the July 13 meeting, the Maple Valley City Council unanimously voted to approve an interlocal agreement between the city and the Tahoma School District. The ILA encompasses all city and district facilities, from sports fields to meeting rooms. The agreement has been in negotiations between city and district officials since October 2014 when the city approved the sale of about 8 acres of the Summit Park property to the district for additional parking. There was no exchange of money for that property transfer, only an understanding that an ILA
The club house, which was originally built several decades ago, according to Greg Brown, Parks and Recreation director for the city, is in need of a few repairs including a potential new roof. Included in the bond project would be paving the remaining unpaved cart paths, which are riddled with pot holes, said Brown. In total, the repairs and maintenance costs associated with the club house would be about $1.4 million. Brown told the council July 13 the projects listed can be considered à la carte, [ more BOND page 6 ]
would be worked out and the city would be allowed access to the new road off of state Route 169 and the new parking stalls. The City Council is also discussing the future of the remaining acreage on the city’s land on Summit Park. That story can be found to the right of this one. If the city builds a new park on the remaining acreage, the district would be granted use of those facilities. In addition, the city will be granted access to use all of the new district facilities it is building along with the new high school. In the agreement it states the district and city will meet to develop a master schedule of all facilities. Priority of use for facilities will go to the entity that owns the facility. The agreement has a two-year term on it. Meaning, after two years the terms of the agreement can be renegotiated if desired. In two years, the new high school will be built and potentially Summit Park (pending a bond approval by the residents of Maple Valley).
The Parks and Recreation Department currently relies on these storage buildings for their equipment. Courtesy Photo

(although she’s been going there since she was a baby, but when they’re riding they don’t pay attention to their surroundings), so I talked my youngest into going with her. I’m an anxious sort of person and I had a whole list of anxieties that weekend, not the least of which was the poker run that I was in charge of (an event designed to get the car show participants driving around). But first on the list of anxieties was my daughters’ drive to the beach. I texted them instructions on how to get through Aberdeen gracefully, because if you’ve ever been through Aberdeen on your way to Westport, you know it can be confusing. I was excited for them to arrive and be at the ocean with us and enjoy the car show after not having been for a couple years. We also had a new RV they hadn’t even spent time in. Then upon their arrival, they stormed in, plopped all their stuff down in the RV, got out their phones and plopped on my bed in the back of the RV. Oh yeah. I forgot how Gretchen Leigh
I’ve been lamenting my children haven’t been camping with us in a couple years. I’ve missed them. My oldest wants to go with us, but now that she’s 20, she has work responsibilities. My youngest just doesn’t like to camp; not liking bugs, smoke, sun or nature in general. So my husband and I have been going solo these last couple year. I guess it’s not solo as we do have each other. But I refer to our years before children as “when we were single,” even though we were married. I can’t even remember life before being married. So when my oldest moved back home last week and was transitioning jobs, she found herself free to accompany us to a car show last weekend. My husband and I left on Wednesday to camp, so she was planning on driving herself to the venue on Friday. I wasn’t too exciting about her driving that far without accompaniment. She hadn’t driven that distance alone to a place she wasn’t familiar with

Maybe I shouldn’t have told them
they spread out with no mind to anyone else moving about the RV. You’d think I would’ve remembered seeing as how they do it at home. We didn’t get a much bigger RV, but it does have a bit more interior space. I thought they’d have matured after a couple years and would automatically contain themselves. I was wrong. The next morning as I was cooking breakfast, my husband threw up his hands and said, “I would like to sit at the table and eat, something has got to move.” Then he stormed out to yack with his car buddies. The girls and I folded up the couch table and threw the debris (because who knew what it really was) onto the bed above the cab, shoved the rest to the end of the table making room for a couple plates so we could have a meal together. I’m not sure if it was the sudden estrogen in the small RV or the clutter, but the next morning, after we once again cleared space to eat, my husband came in, grabbed his plate and said, “I’ll be right back.” Then he proceeded to eat his meal outside, standing up, while talking to one of his friends. I have to admit, if I hadn’t been in my pajamas still and the picnic tables outside hadn’t been dewy, I probably would’ve joined him. Our adult-sized children are everywhere. Maybe I shouldn’t have told them how to get through Aberdeen.

Dunning returns to arboretum board Bob Dunning rejoined the Lake Wilderness Arboretum Foundation Board of Directors as a member at large. He is recently retired and has been volunteering at the arboretum since 1997 and served as foundation president in 2000. “I came back to the board now because I see a need for better representation from the garden volunteer team where I have been active for the last few years,” Dunning said. • Why are you involved
with the Lake Wilderness Arboretum Foundation? “I became attached when I built the SmithMossman Western Azalea Garden. I planned it and coordinated its construction.” • What’s your favorite arboretum event? “The annual spring plant sale. I enjoy meeting people and selling plants.” • What do you think is the arboretum’s biggest contribution to the community? [ more BOARD page 11 ]
P & D TREE SERVICE LINK BETWEEN ASTHMA AND GERD? Although neither the correlation nor the causes are yet clear, there appears to be a connection between asthma and acid reflux, or GERD. When asthma and acid reflux occur simultaneously, the medications for both conditions may not be effective. In addition, GERD, which stands for “gastroesophageal reflux disease,” the more severe form of acid reflux, can be worsened by asthma medications. However, if this occurs, do not stop taking the asthma medication without first consulting your healthcare provider. Symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing, and chest pain may be controlled by treating the acid reflux. Aside from taking over-the-counter medications, making lifestyle changes such as avoiding reflux triggers may make a difference. Also, raising the head of your bed by six inches can help alleviate your symptoms of GERD. Lifestyle modifications include eating smaller meals, eating several hours before bedtime, limiting fatty foods, and maintaining a healthy weight.

O D I D Y O U K N O W ? : According to the American Diabetes Association Approximately 1.25 million American children and adults have Type 1 diabetes.
Fighting to cure Type 1 diabetes
Editor’s note: Makaila Heifner is a Tahoma High student. My name is Makaila Heifner, I am 16 years old and I will be entering my junior year at Tahoma High School in September. At 16 months old I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Fifteen years later, I journeyed to Congress to ask our state’s senators and representatives to support Type 1 diabetes research. Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease that makes a person’s pancreas stop producing insulin – insulin is a hormone that converts food into energy. T1D is a serious and life threatening disease that can lead to severe complications and is associated with an estimated loss of life-expectancy of up to 13 years. Furthermore, the disease does not discriminate. It affects all ages, races and people. Its onset has nothing to do with diet or lifestyle. There is nothing you can do to prevent T1D, and at present nothing you can do to get rid of it. Type 1 diabetes is a hard disease to live with. This is one of the reasons I was so excited for the opportunity to talk to our nation’s leaders and explain the importance of research through JDRF’s (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) Children’s Congress. Children’s Congress meet every two years with new delegates each time. I applied to the Children’s Congress in November and anxiously awaited to see if I was selected out of 1,700 other applicants. In late February, I was notified that I was accepted for this years Children’s Congress. This year was compromised of 167 delegates
across the United States as well as six international delegates. We all went to DC with one dream: to cure Type 1 diabetes. The first two days of Children’s Congress were spent getting to know the other delegates and preparing for our time on the Capitol Hill. On the third day, after an early breakfast, all the delegates plus their parents loaded into buses and began the day. That morning I met with Sen. Patty Murray, Rep. David Reichert and Sen. Maria Cantwell. The meeting went extremely well and we were met with positive reactions from our leaders as well as their staff. One of the goals in our meetings was to encourage our senators and representatives

to support the Medicare CGM Access Act of 201. This bill will allow seniors on Medicare the ability to be covered by insurance for the use of a constant glucose monitor, or CGM. A CGM is a device that constantly tracks a person’s blood sugar and is proved to help people have better control over their diabetes. Since Children’s Congress, the CGM Access Act has already gained nearly 15 new cosponsors. Although Children’s Congress may be over, our fight to cure Type 1 diabetes most certainly is not. We will continue to fight for research, innovations and ultimately a cure. The day we stop fighting is the day that Type 1 becomes Type NONE.
Letter Maple Valley zoning decisions cost city money For the past six or seven months I have been attending Maple Valley Planning and City Council meetings in the hopes of getting a rezone of this property, with the thought of erecting a hotel on said property (26038 Maple Valley Black Diamond Highway). The Maple Valley Planning Committee and senior planner now claim the rezone cannot be done due to previous councils and the planning committees allowing housing to be developed between SE 260th and SE 264th. Using this a prime business acreage for housing units (thus creating a lifetime of services required) seems to have been very shortsighted decision on the council’s part.

Often, children experience concussion symptoms for much longer compared to adults. Concussions can also occur when the head experiences a sudden impact without being hit directly such as a blow to the neck or upper body. • Are there sports that put my child at a higher risk of concussion?

A concussion is a type of brain injury that can occur when the head hits an object or a moving object strikes the head. Sports-related concussions are a major public health concern, it is estimated that 1.6-3.8 million injuries occur each year in the United States. A concussion can cause a multitude of symptoms which include: Cognitive changes: Poor concentration, slow thinking, memory loss, confusion, loss of consciousness, dazed appearance Physical changes: Headache, nausea or vomiting, sensitivity to light or sound, dizziness, slurred speech, blurry vision, changes to balance or coordination Mood changes: Depression, anxiety, personality changes, trouble controlling emotions Sleep changes: Drowsiness,

doesn’t get managed now. “I am already working to better coordinate education, treatment and enforcement efforts to better address the problem before it becomes an epidemic,” he wrote. McCurdy said he has worked with Klason before and believes, “he did a great job of laying a foundation of trust and building a partnership with the city and its residents.” McCurdy said he only hopes to match Klason with regard to the quality of care and service he provided to the city. McCurdy is currently working with the department’s budget and hopes to figure out ways to better allocate resources and find ways to add more officers to the department in the coming years. McCurdy took part in Covington Days over the weekend by taking a seat at the dunk tank. McCurdy wrote he hopes to meet as many residents as he can at community events, neighborhood association meetings and at the city’s National Night Out on Tuesday, Aug. 4.

The Washington State Legislature included $1 million in funding for the statewide 211 system in the final budget. Funding will support the seven regional call centers that make up the Washington Information Network 211. 211 is a free, confidential phone number that serves as a lifeline for over a half million people across the state each year. With a single phone call to 211, those in need receive information and referrals to essential health and human services such as: • Where to go for food and shelter. • What to do if utilities are turned off. • Where to get free or low-cost health and dental care services. • How to get rent or mortgage assistance •Where to find job assistance and employment resources. • How to get help with civil legal issues. • Where to find services for veterans. Information and referral services like 211 streamline searching by assessing each caller’s unique needs and referring them to agencies best equipped to assist them. Need help? Dial 211 from anywhere in the state to be connected to your local 211 call center. For more information or to access our database online, visit online: http://win211.org/.

that complete “brain rest” is necessary. There is new evidence that too much rest can actually cause more symptoms in teenagers. • What should I do if I think my child has had a concussion? It is important that if a concussion is suspected, the child should be removed from play immediately and be evaluated by a licensed healthcare professional. For immediate attention, bring your child to an emergency room or urgent care for an evaluation. If symptoms persist, it is important to follow-up with your child’s pediatrician or primary care provider. In some cases, you may need to be referred to see a neurologist or sports medicine physician who can provide more specialized care for your child’s concussion.

for them.” He added, he hopes to stay as Covington’s police chief for a long time. As a first time police chief, McCurdy hopes to find more ways to communicate with both staff and residents in order to determine what the community is concerned about and what they expect from the police department. “Being a police officer is really all about building relationships with people, but too often we only have opportunities to interact with people during times of crisis,” he said. In his short time back to Covington, McCurdy said he has an idea of some of the problems the city faces. He added he won’t begin to know what is really going on until he talks with residents and does more research. He said property crimes appear to be an issue in Covington and violent crimes appear to be low. McCurdy said the use and the abuse of heroin and related crimes in Covington are growing and he doesn’t think the city is prepared for the problems they would face if this

damage as one loaded 18 wheel tractor and trailer. He also said that other state studies had shown similar results. In Washington we frequently see heavily loaded truck and trailers moving down the road on 26 wheels (eight axles). This means that the Washington Department Of Transportation allows 26 wheel truck and trailers on taxpayer built roads. No other western state allows more than 18 wheels under a tractor and trailer. The cause of massive road damage in Washington is obvious. This road damage is readily visible on Washington roads because the frequency of these heavily loaded axles compresses
recovery time. Then each wheel lane begins to crack. If this cracked pavement is not repaired, pieces of pavement will soon begin to break loose and potholes will develop. Therefore, the pavement is removed in strips in each wheel lane and new pavement is added. (Watch for these repairs as you drive around. See the note below.) As an asphalt chemist and sales person I have driven thousands of miles across the roads in every western state. I have never seen any state except Washington where wheel lane strips of pavement are removed and replaced. So, do we need more taxes to repair overloaded roads? No! We just need the Washington Department of Transportation

SUMMIT PARK In October 2014, the city sold about 8 acres of the Summit Park property to the Tahoma School District for additional parking and a bus turn around for their new high school. The property is located on the west side of state Route 169 and just south of state Route 516. In exchange for the land, the city and district made an interlocal agreement for joint use of all city-owned and district-owned facilities. The Parks and Recreation Commission, with the help from Erik Sweet of SLA Landscape Architecture in Renton, recently reconfigured the master plan for the Summit Park site, taking into account the sale of the 8 acres on the northwest corner. The new plan includes a softball field, both for high school and adult league use; a multi-purpose field; a sport court; a skate park; a playground; a 2-acre dog park; walking trails and pedestrian access to adjacent neighborhoods. Brown said they took input they received at various public meetings and at Maple Valley Days into account when they picked what facilities to include at the park.

mechanism. He said they didn’t hear a lot of negative reaction to the plan. “Almost every single person was in favor,� Brown said. A more scientific survey was done earlier this year by the Bellevue firm Hebert Research on the community’s willingness to support a bond of this type. The results show that approximately 55.2 percent of those surveyed would support a $20 million bond to fund Summit Park, improvements of Lake Wilderness Golf Course and Park, a dog park and community garden. Brown said that percentage is exceptionally high considering there was no effort to educate those people that were surveyed on the details of the projects. The city will need a supermajority – at least 60 percent approval – for the bond to pass.
TAXES AND SUPPORT
OTHER TAXES
The $22 million bond would increase the average homeowners’ property taxes by about $18 per month, Brown said. That figure is based on a home value of $385,000. The bond would last 20 years. Brown said while the parks commissioners were manning their booth at Maple Valley Days and soliciting input from residents about the Summit Park plan, they also asked people if they would support this type of funding
This bond, which would be the first general obligation bond for the city, comes on the heels of a $195 million construction bond for the Tahoma School District. That bond received overwhelming approval – 68 percent – in the November 2013 election and was an increase of $36.75 per month in new taxes for the owner of a $300,000 home. The funds from that bond, which is also 20 years long, are paying for the construction of a new high school and regional learning center.

their own experts when planning the city’s original zoning areas. The expert’s opinions were ignored by previous councils in order to get a quick influx of money into the city’s coffers and has cost a loss of 25-30 acres of prime city business zoning and future taxes to the city of Maple Valley. To continue compounding this error and cause the city more tax dollars, makes no sense at all. I continue to feel that the subject property should get the CB zoning I have been requesting in order for me to continue my project which ultimately will benefit the city of
Maple Valley. If the city and council continue to deny the CB zoning, I am requesting a R18 zoning for town houses. If the council continues to deny zoning for such structures as hotels, the city of Maple Valley will just become a bedroom community of Covington.
A new 15-20 acre community park would also be on the ticket for the April bond. The commission Chair Pat Weiler said the park would be located on the Legacy site, a 54acre plot directly across state Route 169 from the Tahoma School District Central Services building. The Legacy site is one of only six undeveloped parcels of land that’s at least 15 acres remaining in the city. The other five are zoned commercial or are otherwise spoken for and the owners aren’t willing to sell. Because of this, the commission collectively said they felt this was the best location for another park in the city. The plan for the park is still unknown, because a master plan has not been developed. Brown said it likely will be passive recreation as opposed to ball fields, or active recreation.

and get these 26 wheel trucks off our roads. Otherwise, the truck companies should be heavily taxed to pay for the damage they are doing. NOTE: The need for road surface maintenance is greatly attributable to the heaviest vehicles. Based on the findings of the American Association of State Highway Officials (AASHO) road test, damage caused by heavy trucks was long thought to increase with approximately the fourth power of the axle load. This means that one axle of 10 tons on a heavy truck was 160,000 times more damaging to a road surface than an axle of 0.5 tons (car scale). Troy Mullins lives in Maple Valley.

Many dog problems and training challenges are due to miscommunication and unrealistic expectations. Attention: It’s difficult to train a dog, or have a conversation with a human, if your partner isn’t paying attention. Say your dog’s name in a quiet, calm voice. Wait for him to look at you. Reward with food and praise. Every time you speak to your dog, make sure you have his undivided attention. Clarity: Break behaviors down into small steps. Use your hands, treats, a leash or other props to help your dog accomplish each tiny task. Use unique, single command words for each behavior. Keep praise words short and consistent. (For example: “Good” is better for specifically marking a behavior than “You are such a good boy and I just think you’re the best dog in the whole world.”) Beginning, Middle and End: Every behavior should have a beginning, middle and end. For example, if you want your dog to lie down and stay, break the task down into small steps. Begin with your command word and signal, then show the dog what you want him to do. Help him with your hands and food. Gently hold him down using your hands, praise and food. Praise is important. Praise tells Fido that he’s doing the right thing and should continue doing it. End the behavior with a release word, such as “Okay” or “Free.” Recognize that regular training sessions are required if you want to teach complicated behaviors. Control the variables of time, distance and distractions to help your dog succeed. If your goal is a five minute down stay, begin with five seconds. Increase time slowly, and keep track of your dog’s accomplishments so future training sessions build on past successes. Be clear with your expectations, commands, praise and release words. Be patient! Before you know it, friends will compliment you on your well-trained dog and say, “Wow, it’s almost as though he can read your mind!”

Highland games return to Expo center BY KEVIN HANSON
Senior Writer
The biggest and busiest weekend of the summer is ready to kick off with the Scottish Highland Games filling the grounds of the Enumclaw Expo Center.
SCOTTISH HIGHLAND GAMES AND CLAN GATHERING
The 69th annual Pacific Northwest Scottish Highland Games and Clan Gathering kicks off Friday evening, then gets rolling for the general public at 8 a.m. both Saturday and Sunday at the Expo Center. The fun continues until 11 p.m. Saturday and 5:30 p.m. Sunday. A highlight is the massing of the pipe and drum bands and the parade of the clans, which takes place at 12:30 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday. Visitors can stroll through the Avenue of the Clans, delve into Scottish heritage or wind through the Hall of Vendors and the Celtic Marketplace to

see the workmanship of Scottish artisans. Others will wander through the Scottish farm with shaggy Scotch Highland cattle and Clydesdale horses, visit the Celtic kennel or perhaps hoist a glass or two of Scottish-style ales. The musical acts traditionally provide everything from quiet strings to raucous reels. Acts range from Blackthorn, which celebrates the traditional music of Scotland and Ireland, to Neil O’Neill, a pure Celtic tenor and multi-instrumentalist, and the popular Wicked Tinkers, pioneers in the Tribal Celtic movement. The Seattle Knights return with their acts of choreographed combat and athletes will compete in traditional Celtic events like the caber toss and sheaf toss. Tickets are $17 for adults per day or a two-day pass is available for $25. Reduced prices are available for senior citizens, children and active military. There’s a $5 daily fee for parking. There is no admission fee for Friday night’s festivities.
Tickets sales at the gate are on a “cash only” basis. For information call 206-522-2541 or visit www. sshga.org. These Highland Games, hosted by the Seattle Scottish Highland Games Association, are the sixtholdest in the United States and are traditionally the largest in Washington state. Last year’s event drew an estimated 28,000 visitors.
FIND YOUR CELTIC SPIRIT The following is more information on the event from the Seattle Scottish Highland Games Association. View the titans who deftly toss the caber and put the stone, matching skill and strength against the odds on the athletic field of battle. Delight in the soothing sound of the Celtic harpists as they join together for a Harpers’ Circle jam session. Thrill to the bourdon of the bagpipes and the cadence of the drums as you witness, first hand, the fine array of talented pipers
and drummers competing before judges of worldwide renown. Behold the grace and elegance of the Scottish dancers as they regale you with the Highland and National dances of Scotland. Stroll through the Avenue of the Clans, the Glen of the Clans and the Walk Through Time and delve into your Scottish ancestry and heritage. Observe the fine workmanship of Scottish artisans, and spend your hardearned tuppence on lovely imported goods from the British Isles as you wend your way through the Hall of the Vendors and the Celtic Marketplace. Visit the Scottish Farm with shaggy Scotch Highland cattle, Black Faced sheep, and Shetland pony. Complete your tour with the Celtic Kennel that features the Celtic dog breeds at work and at play. On Saturday evening there will be the Ceilidh (Kay-lee) - a traditional Scottish party with music, sing-along, stories and Scottish country dancing.
County grants announced for watershed projects The King County Flood Control District announced Monday $1.5 million in grants for 10 projects aimed at improving water quality, protecting and restoring habitat, and supporting salmon recovery efforts in the Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound watersheds. The area is collectively called Water Resource Inventory Area 9 (WRIA 9). The funding will go to local organizations who are working to improve water quality and protect salmon. The grants will be matched with an additional $2.5 million of funding. “These WRIA grants play an important role in the all-over health of our region’s ecosystems,” said Flood Control District Chair Reagan Dunn. “Healthy watersheds mean a healthy future for our salmon and our communities. I am proud of the role the Flood District plays in supporting these habitats.” One of the projects that received grant funding is the Downey Farmstead Restoration project in the city of Kent. Frager Road on the Downey site will be relocated away from the river’s edge to allow for future creation of the side channel network and expanded floodplain. The grant amount allocated to this project is $717,255.

End of July means more love for your roses and fuchsias The fourth week of July is when your roses and fuchsias need some special attention to keep them blooming for the rest of the summer. All roses appreciate more fertilizer and extra water during the midsummer cycle and if you deadhead or clip off the faded rose blooms you’ll be encouraging more roses to bloom through the fall season. Fuchsias that dangle from hanging baskets or those with large blooms are the annual type of fuchsia and these suffer in hot weather. To keep your fuchsia baskets in bloom keep pinching off any seed pods or “fuchsia berries” that form at the end of the stems once the faded flowers fall. On hot days set ice cubes on top of the soil to pamper your hanging fuchsias and spray the foliage lightly with water. Fuchsia baskets do best in full shade. There are also hardy fuchsias that grow more like perennial shrubs with smaller blooms. The hardy fuchsias can handle more sun but add a layer of mulch on top of the roots to keep them cool and conserve moisture. August is coming! Here are the Top 10 tips for
conserving water in your garden and landscape: Water in the evening or morning so you’ll lose less water to evaporation. Avoid runoff or letting water hit the sidewalk or driveway. Right plant, right place. Use sedums, succulents, plants with gray leaves or small leaves (think lavender, potentilla and lamb’s ear) in the hot spots of your landscape like against a west- or southfacing wall. Mulch. You can use wood chips, compost, hay, leaves or even marbles and seashells for a decorative look on top of your potted plants. A mulch will shade the soil to keep it cooler and seal in moisture so you will need to water less often. Let your lawn “go golden.” This sounds more luxurious than saying you have allowed the lawn to go brown and dormant. Some gardeners even use a special lawn paint to dye the dormant golden lawn a shade of green. Don’t worry, once the rains return in the fall your lawn will green up again. Recycle your kitchen water and use it to water your potted plants.

This is the way most of Europe has watered their summer plants for centuries. Any rinse water or non-salted cooking water goes into a kitchen pitcher and at the end of the day instead of pouring your liquid assets down the drain use the recycled water on the patio plants. Bonus: some of the nutrients from cooking veggies will leach into the cooking water so you’ll get some free fertilizer. Use a rain barrel. Collecting all the water that runs off the roof into one container means you can dip a watering can into the barrel and hand water the potted or extra thirsty plants.

Install a drip irrigation system to water vegetables and even potted plants. Sprinklers are not as efficient as drip lines. Bonus: When you target the water right at the root of a plant the rest of the soil will stay dry – and you’ll have fewer weeds. Make compost – or buy compost in bags – and use this in planting holes, on top of new plants and as a topdressing for a thirsty lawn. Compost acts like a sponge to hold and store moisture.

Now you’ll be recycling the drainage water from your hanging basket by letting it drip from one plant into the root zone of another.

The Music Man at Green River College There’s trouble in River City. “Trouble with a capital T…” as Meredith Willson’s The Music Man marches onto the stage of Green River College, courtesy of Heavier Than Air Family Theatre and local teens who have spent their summer reviving this Tony Award winning Broadway musical. Talented 14-17 year old actors from the company’s musical theatre camp light up the playhouse with the escapades of a traveling con artist in a quaint but naïve Iowa town set in 1912. The plot twists and turns with amusement, suspicion, warmth and romance. Featuring show stopping band music, fast paced song and dance
numbers, a barbershop quartet, sweet love songs, and a chorus of gossiping ladies, there’s something for every generation in this classic musical comedy that’s been entertaining audiences since 1957.
July 24, 2015 [15]
Finding the Connection • Since 1989 •
This group of students is handling the material with freshness and inspiration, led by the director Terry Thibodeaux Jr., assistant director Megan Black, music director Lindsay Holzworth, choreographer Lauren Slettedahl and assistant Sophie Nelson. The Music Man performances are at 7 p.m. July 31 and Aug. 1, with a 3 p.m. matinee on Aug. 1 in the Green River College Performing Arts Building, 12401 SE 320th St., Auburn.
