Editor’s note: Th is is part one in a series of articles on the water service dispute between the city of Black Diamond and the Covington Water District. Both claim service rights to 98 acres inside the Black Diamond city limits. Th is week’s article examines each entity’s claim to exclusive rights to the 98 acres of land. Next week’s article will examine statements made in Black Dia-mond’s 2009 Water Comprehensive Plan and how that may aff ect the city’s claim to the land.

Aft er a week-long public hearing session, the Black Diamond City Council decided to table a vote Th ursday on whether or not the city should assume water service rights to 98 acres at the edge of Th e Villages development in the city.

Th e city and the Covington Water District have been in a dispute over these 98 acres since at least 2008, which has come to a head this year.

For a myriad of reasons, both Black Dia-mond and the Covington Water District claim exclusive rights to serve water to future resi-dents of this portion of Th e Villages, a 1,196 acre development in the south-western part of the city. State law prevents water service pro-viders from overlapping service areas.

Th e fi rst pieces of the 9/11 memorial outside the Maple Valley Fire and Life Safety Fire Station 81 were set in place Aug. 20

Th e two columns repre-sent the World Trade Cen-ter twin towers in New York City that were destroyed on Sept. 11, 2001 during a at-tacks by al-Qaida terrorist.

Kelley Jensen and Tyler Gage, Maple Valley Fire and Life fi refi ghters, helped Matt Marinelli place the columns and rig wiring for lights.

Eventually fl ood lights will shine from the columns similar to the ground zero memorial in Manhattan.

Th roughout the next couple of weeks construc-tion will continue.

A bench will be placed near the columns and steel from the World Trade Center will be suspended between the two columns.

A dedication ceremony for the 9/11 memorial is set for 10:30 to 11 a.m. Sept. 12 prior to the annual open house.

By the 2016-17 school year, every elementary school in the state will be eligible to receive funding for all-day kinder-garten.

At the end of this year’s legislative session, lawmak-ers included a general fund apportionment of $174 mil-lion to the operating budget for the continued statewide implementation of full-day kindergarten.

Th e roll-out of all-day kindergarten started at the be-ginning of the 2014-15 school year. By the 2016-17 school year, all schools in Washington

will be eligible, and at the start of the 2017-18 school year it will be full implemented.

Schools with a higher percentage of free and reduced lunch participants were eli-gible fi rst.

Some districts beat the state to the punch and started off er-ing all-day kindergarten before funds were allocated for it.

Th e Kent School District has had all-day kindergarten since the 2011-12 school year, said Page Meyer, director of early learning for the district.

“Th ere’s a need in this com-munity for our families to have access to all-day kindergarten,” she said in a phone interview Tuesday.

A day in the life of a full-day kindergartner, Meyer said, is very focused on content. Chunks of their days are con-centrated on math, science, English and language arts, directed play and building social and emotional skills, she said.

Although naps aren’t included in the curriculum, Meyer said, “Developmen-tally, they can do it (without a nap).”

Now that the state will be funding all-day kindergarten, that allows the Kent School District to put the money it’s currently spending on it toward other programs.

Th e district hasn’t decided

where that money will go, but Meyer said she hopes it will go toward other early learning programs.

One of the elements of all-day kindergarten that the state’s money does not fund is space. Migrating kindergarten classrooms from partial days to full days will increase the amount of space needed for the students.

For that reason, the Taho-ma School District will hold off on implementing all-day kindergarten until the new high school opens in the fall of 2017, said Kevin Patterson, spokesperson for the district.

Aft er it’s fully implemented, state Sen. Joe Fain said all-day kindergarten will cost the state $270 million annually.

Th e plan to fully fund all-day kindergarten was put into motion during the 2009 legislative session, Fain said. However, the Supreme

State begins second year roll out eligibility of full-day kindergarten

The 98 acres in question is at the north-western edge of The Villages.

According to the water district, those 98 acres are worth $5 million in water connection charge revenue and an additional $4 mil-lion in water consumption revenue over the next 20 years.

City Ordinance 15-1058, if approved by Black Dia-mond, will start the official process of assuming, or taking over, those 98 acres, giving Black Diamond the exclusive right to serve that area.

The City Council vote on the ordinance is scheduled for Sept. 3, which allows the city staff to examine com-ments and questions raised during the public hearing.

The Covington Water District plans to appeal to the King County Bound-ary Review Board if Black Diamond passes this ordinance.

Who has exclusive rights?According to Black

Diamond, the dispute over these 98 acres was over be-fore it began when the city annexed the The Villages in 2005.

The annexation of The Villages and King County’s approval of the city’s 2009 Water Comprehensive Plan gave the city the exclusive right to supply water to those 98 acres, Black Dia-mond wrote in the back-ground section of Agenda Bill 15-057, presented to the public during the Aug. 20 City Council meeting.

Black Diamond stated Covington Water District did not formally appeal either the annexation or the 2009 water comprehensive plan.

Covington Water District argues the annexation of The Villages does not auto-matically give the city ex-clusive rights to serve those 98 acres. The district claims

the right to serve that area because it was given to them under the 1989 South King County Coordinated Water System Plan.

In order to settle this dis-pute, the Covington Water District appealed to the King County Utility Tech-nical Review Committee on Feb. 17, 2015. The Utility Technical Review Com-mittee (UTRC) is given authority by the South King County Coordinated Water System Plan to hear water service boundary disputes and make decisions based on both party’s arguments.

On May 1, the UTRC made four decisions based on the arguments given by Covington Water District, the city of Black Diamond and YarrowBay.

The first two UTRC deci-sions were the 98 acres are within the jurisdiction of Covington Water District and the district was able to demonstrate it could serve water to future residents in a timely and reasonable manner.

The UTRC also ruled the city of Black Diamond could provide timely and reasonable water service to future residents, and the city could statutorily as-sume those 98 acres under chapter 35.13A of the Revised Code of Washing-ton, consistent with RCW 70.116.090.

Under RCW 35.13A, a city may assume, or take over, any portion of a water district that overlaps with the city’s legal boundaries.

The UTRC stated Black Diamond had the right to assume the property for wa-ter service, and the commit-tee chair stated the county would most likely prefer Black Diamond, and not the Covington Water District, to be the water service pro-vider in that area.

“If you look at com-prehensive planning, the Growth Management Act, and the idea that cities are the preferred form of governance, especially in

the urban area and in the potential annexation areas then we defer to cities, and the county respects the authority for cities to take care of their own business,” Steve Hirschey, chair of the UTRC, said during a phone conversation.

While the UTRC decided it was within the city’s rights to assume those 98 acres and the city is most likely the preferred water service provider, Black Diamond appealed the UTRC deci-sion. The city’s position is annexing The Villages prop-erty gives Black Diamond exclusive right to serve wa-ter to those 98 acres outside the assumption process.

To this point, Hirschey said, “The city of Black Dia-mond and Yarrow bay have argued that previous actions have somehow made that part of the disputed service area their service area. They did an annexation, and an annexation has its own statutory framework. It has its own approval process. But it’s not tantamount to an assumption. There are statues that say if the city wants to take over the operations and responsibili-ties of the district, that they should assume them.”

Black Diamond’s appeal of the UTRC decision is expected to be heard by the King County Hearing Examiner in November.

Either party may dispute the Hearing Examiner’s decision, which move the dispute to the King County Superior Court.

Although the city plans to continue with its ap-peal, the city has stated, “completing assumption may reduce litigation and lead to a more efficient resolution of the matter,” in council documents.

The city also said that going through the as-sumption process does not mean the city admits the assumption process was necessary.

POSSIBLE LINK TO PANCREATIC CANCER

Generations past were on to more than they realized when they advised fresh air and sunshine for health since the body actually makes vitamin D in response to sunlight. Now, new research indicates a possible link between a lack of vitamin D and pancreatic cancer. This is less than good news for people who live in climates with not much sunshine. In fact, sunny countries that are closer to the equator only have approximately one sixth of the cases of the deadly disease. While this isn’t proof that sunlight directly affects the likelihood of pancreatic cancer, it does indicate a strong possibility. Vitamin D has also been found to lower the risk of breast and colorectal cancers. While vitamin D can be found in certain foods such as fortified cereals, milk, and fatty fish, food alone is not an adequate way to get vitamin D.

Studies have shown that taking both vitamin D and calcium provides additional cancer protection against many types of cancer. Calcium intake of more than 1000 mg/day from either diet or supplements is recommended.

Hot spots.I wish I was about to impart

some amazing bit of information, like I know the best places for Friday night karaoke, or I’ve pinpointed the greatest hiking trails for diff er-ent seasons of the year. But no, I’m referring to hot spots around my home.

Everyone has those places (at least I hope so or I need to rethink my whole life) in their house that they really need to do something about because it really annoys them on a regular basis, but keep putting off . I rarely feel up to dealing with such issues for the very reason they are even a problem - what do I do with ____ (fi ll in the blank)?

I used to have bigger hot spots

in my house. We had an enclosed patio for a number of years; it was here when we moved in. It wasn’t

a nice, usable structure in the sense of entertaining or anything like that. I do have a couple pictures of people balancing their plates on their laps during a party in it; our house is rather small and they had to bleed out somewhere. Aft er many years it became a landing place for items we didn’t know where to put or rather we didn’t want to deal

with. Stick it on the patio; out of sight, out of mind and all.

When we decided to take it down and make a nice, covered seating area, we were forced to deal with all the stuff . It was amazing how easy it was just to toss it and I was duly embarrassed for not having disposed of it to begin with. I’m not a person who believes in storage; if I don’t use it within a year, I don’t need it.

Th ough the patio is a nice seating place now, it oft en becomes a catch-all, especially in the winter months when we aren’t using it. I like to do a spring cleaning to make it usable before summer, but because of the big reorganization we recently did in our home, it has been only mod-erately usable for several weeks.

It’s just one of the places I’ve been irritated with but I’ve lacked the motivation to do anything about. It’s not the only hot spot either; the towel shelf at the end of the hall comes to mind. Also the area of the kitchen counter right in front of the TV is a never-ending pile of trinkets, as well as the top of the dryer – why can’t they just reach up and put it back on the shelf?

Th e biggest eyesore we’ve had for the longest time is the lean-to attached to my husband’s shop. It doesn’t have a door on it and it’s been falling apart for some time, much to my dismay as I sit on the

back patio staring at it. It’s not even the lame structure, it’s having the junk (treasure to my husband) star-ing back at me.

So this weekend my husband decided to tear it down and rebuild it. While he was doing that and get-ting further into the project than he had intended (compliments of our neighbor who actually knows how to build stuff correctly), I decided to reclaim my patio; might as well enjoy it these last few weeks of summer.

As I sit on my patio every morn-ing enjoying my coff ee, I’ll have one less hot spot to ruminate over. And it will be nice to be looking at a shed door instead of the junk, uh treasures.

However, now I have a backyard full of rotting lumber. I wonder how long that spot will take to cool off ?

Farewell, Commander


For centuries people have separated children based on their gender. When a girl is born, she is the little princess and when a boy is born he is the little man.

Th ere is nothing wrong or bad about this. Wrapping a newborn girl in a pink blanket as opposed to a blue one for a boy has no aff ect on the child.

It only becomes wrong and possibly harmful to the child when parents force a child to grow up based on these sex stereo-types.

I grew up as a tomboy. I didn’t like to wear dresses or pink hair ties, I played outside in the dirt and wore boots and overalls. Th is wasn’t a bad thing. My parents didn’t think anything was wrong with me, they just knew I enjoyed being a tomboy.

When I grew older I took martial arts classes, which many people see as a male sport. Th e studio I practiced in was next to a ballet studio. Many of the ballerina girls and parents would tell me that I should not act like a boy, or that it was improper for me to spar with the boys.

Th is is more common than you would think. If you look around, you will see these gender stereotypes exist everywhere.

Most boys play catch in the backyard while most girls stay inside to play. Th e key word here is “most.” Th ere are many cases where girls participate in stereotypical “boy activities” and many cases where boys enjoy “girl activities.”

Th ese gender stereotypes for children come from many times and places in their lives. It starts with the parents as they infl uence the young lives. Parents will always have the most

infl uence on a child, but it lessens as the child begins to grow up, make new friends, and fi nd new infl uences in their lives.

Th e second infl uence in a child’s life is school. Spending eight hours a day, fi ve days a week, during the school year is a lot of time to be infl uenced. Teachers and friends will all either directly or indirectly aff ect the child’s life.

In most cases the parents and other infl uences in the child’s life will teach them boys and girls play diff erent sports and dress in diff erent ways. Th ere is nothing wrong with this, as long as children like what they are doing.

When children begin to grow up and learn what they like, they start making decisions of their own. Th ey start out as small decisions of course, but they will all aff ect the child as he or she grows up. And if a parent was to keep a child from doing something he or she enjoys because

it is not the appropriate sex for the activity, that is when the stereotype becomes harmful to the child and can immensely aff ect the kind of per-son the child becomes.

Th e issue here is not what boys and girls should do. It’s what they want to do. Instead of raising a child solely based on gender stereo-types, allow him or her to try diff erent things. Encourage the young boys to try art; encourage the young girls to play a sport. Th ere is noth-ing wrong with liking something that normally “belongs” to the opposite sex.

I grew up knowing being a tomboy was just me being me, because my parents accepted me and made sure I knew I was loved uncondition-ally. Even though I had to ignore others and their harsh judgments, I knew that being me was perfectly perfect.

It is always easy to point out fl aws. To prove this, just look at whatever is hot in the news media right now: the police and race, terrorism, the job rat-ing of the president or Congress, the Republican primary process, the Iran vote – the list can be nearly endless.

It is human nature to see the fl aws in whatever human activity we are engaged in. Th is is called deconstruction. And its seems that the more highly educated or skilled a person may be, the greater the ability a person has to point out weaknesses.

My last high school principal had some pretty sage advice to his faculty and staff : if we wanted to come in to complain about something, we should also come in with suggestions on how the com-plaint could/should be resolved.

Th e goal at the recent three-week National Academy for Civics and Government I attended in Los Angeles was not to deconstruct. My presiding professor, Will Harris, announced his approach during the academy on the fi rst night: our goal was to look for what was useful for our Constitution’s

historic and philosophic foundations: Aristotle, Cicero, the Bible, Hobbes, Locke or Madison.

We were not to ignore the fl aws; we were to put them in the background in our search for insight and wisdom.

Sometimes deconstructing things is helpful. Th e problem is that the experts who deconstruct don’t fi nish the job. Th e second half requires that they put things back together in a better, more effi cient way.

To demonstrate my point, I typed “crit-icism of Aristotle” into a search engine. Th ere are literally hundreds of articles and papers describing what’s wrong with Aristotle’s thinking when he discussed the need for virtue and fi nding balance and moderation in all human action.

As a second example, Professor Harris looked at themes from Aristotle’s writ-

ings in his book “Politics.” Th e book deals with the importance of equality in a well-functioning government. Aristotle noted that where there is equality there is justice.

His idea of equality, though diff erent from Th omas Jeff erson’s view, eventually worked its way down to Jeff erson, the principle author of the Dec-laration of Independence. Jeff erson chose to ignore Aristotle’s selective view of equality: “Equality (is) for those who are equal but not for all.” Women and slaves, because they did not have the time to serve in government, did not have the same status as free men. When Jeff erson stated, “All men are created equal,” he meant to include slaves and women in that statement.

My continuing concern in this column about a diminishing middle class and the rising power of the elites comes from Aristotle’s thoughts: “Th e best form of political association is one where power is vested in the middle class…. Where the middle class is large, there is less likelihood of faction and dissension than in any other constitu-tion…. In addition, factious disputes and struggles readily arise between the masses and the rich: and the side, whichever it is, that wins the day, instead of establishing a constitution based on the com-mon interest and the principle of equality, exacts as the prize of victory a greater share in the constitu-tion.”

Aristotle, who wrote in the mid-three hundreds B.C., had a deep understanding of what worked and what didn’t in government. Th ere is much to learn from his thought that applies to us today. To focus only on criticism of his writings misses the opportunity to glean the good and insightful.

Th ere are deep lessons to learn from the study of the Ancients. Th ese provide a caution to our modern culture’s tendency to tear down and destroy – to deconstruct – without also spend-ing the time to reconstruct new frameworks of thought that provide insight for our people and our government.

Th ink about this cultural tendency to decon-struct when you read the news, or deal with your boss, your spouse or your children and learn instead the wisdom of history. We learn more from positive examples than from the constant emphasis on what is wrong.

POLICE BBBBLLLLOOOOTTTTTTTTEEEERRRR

BY STEVE HUNTER

Reporter

An 18-year-old Black Diamond man pleaded not guilty on Thursday to a reck-less driving charge in connection with a “car surfing” accident in March at the Kent-Meridian High School parking lot that resulted in the death of a fellow student.

Tyler T. Reber, who is not in custody, entered the plea in King County Superior Court at the Maleng Regional Justice Cen-ter in Kent. He was booked and released within the hour after his plea. County prosecutors didn’t oppose his release on personal recognizance on the condition that he not drive a vehicle without a valid license and insurance and have no more

moving violations.Reber, a recent K-M graduate, is sched-

uled to return to court on Sept. 1 when a trial date could be set or attorneys could ask for more time to prepare the case. If convicted as charged, Reber could face up to one year in jail.

Lupo Benson, 18, died from injures he suffered after falling off the hood of Reber’s vehicle on March 31.

Reber was driving a SUV through the school parking lot as Benson gripped the back edge of the hood near the windshield, with his chest on the hood and his feet toward the front of the vehicle, according to charging papers.

Reber backed the SUV out of a parking spot and then appeared to rapidly acceler-ate through the parking lot at about 15-20

mph and then made a sharp left turn. As Reber made the turn, Benson slid off the hood, his feet appeared to land first, but the momentum of his upper body continued toward the ground and the back of Ben-son’s head hit the pavement hard. Benson, a senior, died the next day Harborview Medical Center in Seattle from the head injury.

Kent Police initially investigated Reber for vehicular homicide after interviewing witnesses and reviewing security camera footage of the incident.

But prosecutors said after consultation with the victim’s family and the circum-stances of the crime they decided to go for a reckless driving charge, a gross misde-meanor, as opposed to a felony charge.

In the charging papers against Reber,

prosecutors said that he drove a motor vehicle with willful and wanton disregard for the safety of persons and property. Reber has no criminal history or driving violations.

Prosecutors said this is the first “car surf-ing” case filed in the county.

The last week in August is the time to harvest squash, tomatoes and beans, cut back perennials like daisies and daylilies that have passed their prime and continue to water and fertil-ize potted plants and annuals in the garden.

This is also the time to celebrate the shrubs that offer late-summer color.

Hardy Hibiscus or

Rose of SharonHibiscus is an old-fashioned

favorite that is enjoying a new popularity due to the improve-ment in hardiness and the size of the blooms.

August is when this heat-tol-erant shrub puts on a spectacular show of color just when the rest of

the garden may be winding down for the season. Your grandmother probably called this shrub Rose of Sharon, but nurseries now know it as Hibiscus moecheutos or peren-

nial hibiscus. The compact Luna series grows just 3 feet tall with huge blooms that can be 6 inches wide. The Disco series of hardy hibis-cus grows even more compact at 2 feet tall

and is perfect for patio pots. These shrubby dwarf hibiscus plants will survive our winters in Western Washington.

There is also a tall shrub form of hardy hibiscus or hibiscus mutabilis called the Confederate Rose in the south. This shrub can become a small tree and in my garden has survived the wind and cold of Enumclaw for more than 20 years and has grown to 15 feet

tall and 8 feet wide. I grow a pur-ple clematis through the branches of this huge hibiscus so the white and red hibiscus blooms can co-mingle with the violet blooms of the Etoile Violette clematis.

The garden gossip about all the hardy hibiscus is how naked this plant can be for six months of the year. It will be the first of your shrubs to drop leaves in the fall and the last to sprout new foliage in the spring, sometimes waiting until May to show signs of life. Allowing a vine like clematis to use hibiscus as a lattice helps to clothe these bare branches in early spring.

Smooth Hydrangeas –

Hydrangea arborescensThese are the hydrangeas native

to the eastern United States, north

to New York and south to Florida. This means they handle the cold and the heat better than the more traditional big leaf hydrangea macrophylla that have blue balls of bloom. The smooth hydran-geas have smaller leaves that are a gray-green color and some varieties – like the creamy white “Incrediball” and the “Annabelle” hybrids – have gigantic blooms that can be one foot wide. The smooth hydrangeas have held up better in hot weather than other hydrangeas but you need to prune these shrubs in early spring to keep the stems short enough to support the super-size flowers.

There is also a variety of smooth hydrangea that always flowers in the pink no matter how acid the soil. The “Invicibelle Spirit II” is an adaptable native shrub with blooms that not only look great at the end of summer and into the autumn season but

also can be snipped for long-last-ing cut flowers. A Proven Win-ners Award plant, $1 from every plant sold is donated to the Breast Cancer Research foundation.

Japanese maplesThese small-leaf maples from

Japan are called Acer palmatum to describe the palm-shaped leaves with five separate lobes. Many choices in leaf color, growth habit and foliage texture make the Japanese maple one of the most beloved plants to use in Western Washington landscapes.

Near the end of August when many plants are looking tired and seedy, the Japanese maples will be starting to color up and put on their annual fall show. This is the month to search out the most attractive varieties and shapes for a new or newly improved landscape.

It’s time to begin harvesting veggies, cutting perennials

Court decision in the McCleary case, which declared in 2012 the legis-lature has not fulfilled its obligation to fully fund education, is what gave the legislature the extra

push to start implementa-tion of full-day kindergar-ten during the last bien-nium’s budget.

Educationally, Fain said, full days of instruction for kindergartners has been shown to improve infor-mation retention.

“(The) all day aspect of (kindergarten), reduces the amount of knowledge that gets lost,” he said.

In addition, Fain said, teachers become more sen-sitive “to students’ needs when (they) have longer time with them.”

Newly released data from the Washington Traffi c Safety Commission (WTSC) shows that mari-juana is increasing as a fac-tor in deadly crashes. Th e number of drivers involved in deadly crashes who tested positive for mari-juana increased 48 percent from 2013 to 2014.

“We have seen mari-juana involvement in fatal crashes remain steady over the years, and then it just spiked in 2014,” said Staci Hoff , WTSC Data and Re-search director.

From 2010-2014, nearly 60 percent of drivers in-volved in fatal collisions were tested for drugs. Among these tested drivers, approximately 20 percent, 349 drivers, were positive for marijuana.

However, just testing positive for marijuana doesn’t necessarily indicate if a driver was actually aff ected by the drug at the time of the crash since marijuana can be detected in a person’s blood for days, possibly weeks, aft er a person uses the drug.

Th is new data is able to distinguish between drivers who test positive for THC, the impairing substance in marijuana and those who have residual marijuana in their system from prior use which may have occurred days ago.

Th e number of drivers testing positive for active THC has steadily increased, from less than half of marijuana positive drivers in 2010 up to almost 65 percent of drivers in 2013. In 2014, an alarming 85 percent, 75 of 89 drivers, of

drivers testing positive for marijuana were positive for impairing THC.

“With this data we are fi nally able to see who was high during the crash versus which drivers had used marijuana in the past few days,” Hoff said. “Th e answer in 2014 is most of them were high.”

Approximately half of these THC-positive drivers exceeded the 5 ng/ml THC per se limit. A “per se” limit is the amount of a sub-stance in a person’s blood that according to Washing-

ton law makes the person DUI notwithstanding other evidence.

According to the new data, the driver with the highest THC level was tested at 70 ng/ml. Half of these THC-positive drivers were also under the infl u-ence of alcohol, the major-ity of those also exceeded the alcohol per se limit of 0.08 BAC.

Th e largest increase in THC-positive drivers were among males ages 21-25, from only 6 in 2013 up to 19 in 2014 – the most

signifi cant increase among any other age group.

Th e WTSC Research and Data Division, in collabora-tion with the State Patrol Toxicology Lab, abstracted drug types and levels for drivers in fatal crashes back to 2008. Th e full report and complete analysis of this data is expected to be released in September.

“Th is study is a step towards answering the myriad of questions we have about the impact of legalized marijuana on driving. We will continue to explore the implications of this information,” Hoff said.

A new law prohibits driv-ers and passengers from using marijuana while driv-

CELEBRATING

50YEARS

For a Smooth SeptemberBy Kathy Lang, Family Dog Training Center

Dogs love, and need, predictable routines. If your

work, school or vacation schedule has given you more

time at home with Fido this Summer, follow these tips

to ease him into your Fall routine.

Home alone. If Fido’s used to having company all

day long, but will be left alone for 8 to 9 hours a day in

a few weeks, use this time to gently ease him back to a

normal weekday schedule. For many dogs, a sudden

change can result in separation anxiety or destructive

behavior. Gradual change is better. If it helps, put

Fido’s transition schedule on the family calendar.

Exercise. When the family is home all day, the

dog’s activities are spread throughout the day. Fido

may only get a 30 minute nap once or twice a day, in

between all the family BBQs, walks to the park and

camping trips. Consider how you’re going to give your

companion the same amount of physical exercise

when you go back to work or school. Set aside 30

minutes, twice a day, just for Fido. Play ball. Go for a

run. Take a walk. Without proper exercise, dogs often

become destructive when left home alone.

Mind Games. Dogs who interact with humans

all day long become accustomed to the mental

stimulation. Look at Summer through your dog’s

eyes. It’s probably very entertaining, interesting and

stimulating. There’s always someone available to toss

the ball, shake a paw, take a walk or rub your belly.

Think of ways to exercise your dog’s mind during the

Fall so he doesn’t get bored. Set aside time every day

to teach a new trick or practice obedience skills during

your walk to the park. Join a training class to learn

new skills together, such as agility or therapy or rally-

style obedience.

A little thought and advance planning can help Fido

go with the fl ow as your family goes back to school

and work this Fall.

Bunnies are cute, soft and need plenty of care

Whether running around your yard or in an enclo-sure at the pet store, bunnies can be cute. Don’t let their outward appearance fool you, however. Bunnies can be very destructive animals, digging into and chewing on everything in sight—carpet, furniture, woodwork, even electrical cords. Fortunately, there are some things you can do to curb the behavior.

It doesn’t matter where they are. Outside or inside, bunnies, by nature, will burrow, dig and chew. Their teeth and claws are forever growing, and in order to keep them healthy, sharp and trimmed, they must burrow, dig and chew. It is essential that you provide items for your bunny to burrow into, dig into and chew on. There are a wide variety of products avail-able. Check into them. Having a continuous supply of Timothy hay to munch on, toys to play with and untreated grass mats to dig into will do wonders for keeping your pet bunny busy and away from your household possessions. You can also make your own toys using stuff around the house and yard. Old card-

board boxes make great places to burrow into, while old apple tree branches make great chew toys. Keep in mind that the wider selection of toys you provide for your bunny, the more likely its urge to burrow, dig and chew will be satisfied.

Even with a great selection of playthings, your bunny may still be tempted. That stack of shoes at the foot of your bed and that lovely cardboard castle in your daughter’s room may call out to them. Curb the temptation by keeping everything important out of your bunny’s reach. File all paperwork, tuck away electrical cords and set up gates and pens. Don’t just let your bunny have the run of the house. They will get into places you never thought possible and destroy your most precious of possessions. Block off access to certain rooms and furniture or contain your bunny in a pen. Bunny-proofing is essential, as is training.

You may know the difference between good and bad behavior, but your bunny doesn’t. Again, bunnies by nature like to burrow, dig and chew. They don’t know they shouldn’t burrow into your tennis shoes or chew on the laces unless you teach them. Should you find your bunny gnawing on something it shouldn’t, tell it no, clap your hands and give it a chew toy.

When you find it using its chew toys, reward it with a treat, praise or affection. Training is imperative for stopping bad habits before they begin.

Finally, consider having your bunny spayed or neu-tered. Not only will this prevent baby bunnies, but it will make your bunny less prone to chewing, digging and other destructive behaviors.

Having a pet bunny can be a test in patience at first, but with time and training, you can teach your bunny acceptable behavior and keep your home intact. Give it a go, and your bunny is sure to act as cute as it looks.

Just a few steps can curb a pet’s poor behavior

ing. It also prohibits anyone from keeping marijuana in the vehicle unless it is in its original sealed packaging or is stored in the trunk or some other area of the car not normally occupied by people.

“This data shows why this new law is so impor-tant,” said Darrin Grondel, WTSC director, referring to the new statute passed during this year’s legisla-tive session.

From 2008 through 2014, more than 1,100 people died in impaired collisions in Washing-ton. Impaired driving is involved in nearly half of all traffic deaths and more than 20 percent of serious injury collisions. The highest percentage of these deaths occurs dur-ing the summer months.

That is why the WTSC participates in the Na-tional Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign. From August 21 through Labor Day, the Com-

mission is letting the public know that extra officers will be out across the state at times and locations where DUI is a problem.

“It is our hope that by publicizing these extra patrols more people will plan ahead if they will be drinking or using marijuana,” Grondel said. “Don’t risk getting arrest-ed for a DUI, or causing a life-changing tragedy. Designate a sober, drug-free driver.”

In King County, the

Auburn, Bellevue, Burien, Enumclaw, Federal Way, Issaquah, Kent, Kirkland, Lake Forest Park, Maple Valley, Mercer Island, Newcastle, Port of Se-attle, Redmond, Renton, Sammamish, SeaTac, Seattle, and Snoqualmie Police Departments, the Washington State Liquor Control Board and the Washington State Patrol will be teaming up and participating in the extra patrols, with the support of the King County Tar-get Zero Task Force.

The fi rst step toward continuing his foot-ball career post-high school was com-pleted earlier this month when Tahoma

senior Amandre Williams verbally committed to play collegiate football for the University of Washington.

Williams announced he will play defensive end for the Huskies.

In his fi nal season as a Bear, Williams is the starting quarterback for Tahoma.

“I love playing QB but I want to play the po-sition that will help the team the best,” he said. “UW saw me as a linebacker/defensive end at the next level. I trust that and I’m going to do my best while playing it.”

Williams has been playing football since he was 7 years old.

He got interested in the sport because his dad played it professionally, he said.

“I have always been around the game,” Wil-liams said. “Playing sports was just the ‘normal fun’ in our household.”

Aside from football, Williams used to be a three sport athlete.

Up until the end of his freshman year of high school, Williams played baseball and until the

end of sophomore year he played basketball.He decided to stick with football out of the

three sports he loved to play because he could see himself playing it at the next level.

“I dedicated myself to working toward that goal,” Williams said.

As Tahoma prepares for the season to start, he said he looks forward to creating memories he can look back fondly on.

“Your senior football season only comes once in a lifetime,” he said.

His goal for the Bears this season is to “build on past performances.”

He also wants to help “put my team in the best position to win games,” he said.

Williams chose the University of Wash-ington out of off ers from more than 10 other schools.

He said, UW stood out “because of their new coaching staff .”

“UW is a place where very special things are going to happen and I’m just excited to be a part of it,” Williams said.

Now that he has verbally committed to play for the Huskies, Williams said he can turn his focus to his senior year of high school.

“I plan on graduating from Tahoma in Janu-ary and enrolling early to UW,” he said.

For Williams, playing football for many years aft er college is a dream he strives for.

“It’s every boy’s dream to play in the NFL and I’m going to continue to work on living that dream,” he said. “Hopefully if things work out the way I would like them to, I’ll be playing this game for many years to come.”

Th e Bears open up the 2015 season with an away game against Mount Rainier at 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 4.

Th e number of student-athletes in Washington state rose to 160,245 for the 2014-15 academic year, according to information released last week by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association.

Th e numbers were culled from the High School Ath-letics Participation Survey conducted by the National

Federation of State High School Associations.

Th e Evergreen State’s student participation was 787 more than 2013-14 and kept Washington in 17th place among the 51 state associations in total participants.

In boys athletics, 92,160, Washington increased 600 participants with the

largest diff erence coming from track and fi eld,13,539, which saw 534 more par-ticipants than the previous year. Baseball also had a major infl ux in participa-tion with 9,595, an increase of 348. Football, 22,090, was next with 179, while basketball,11,145, had 83.

On the girls side, the association reported 68,085

participants, a gain of 187. Seven sports increased from last year’s numbers with soft ball, 7,416, leading the way with an increase of 566. Track and Field, 10,163, had the next largest growth with 175 com-petitors and tennis, 7,174, rounded out the top three with 145.

At the national level, girls

participation set an all-time mark of nearly 3.3 million, while the boys reported more than 4.5 million stu-dent-athlete participants. Among the top 10 boys sports, soccer registered the largest gain while wrestling and 11-player football had the largest declines in participation.

Six of the top 10 girls sports registered national increases in participa-tion this past year, led by

competitive spirit squads and cross country. While track and field remained the No. 1 sport for girls, volleyball moved ahead of basketball to secure the second spot. Ten years ago, basketball was ranked first for girls, followed by track and field, then vol-leyball.

Number of student athletes increases

NFL PRESEASON Demitrius Bronson, who recently signed with the Miami Dolphins,

played his second game with team.Bronson had minus 3 yards

rushing yards on two attempts in Saturday’s preseason loss to

Competing on “American Ninja Warrior” has not only made Justin Gielski stronger, its brought his family closer together.

The 2003 Kentlake High School graduate, who now lives in New Jersey, qualified for the national obstacle course in Las Vegas after finishing fifth in the city finals during the NBC primetime show’s Aug. 17 episode.

Gielski, a member of the New Jersey National Guard, com-peted in an all-military episode filmed in San Pedro, Calif. Being a veteran helped his chances of getting on the show, he said. More than 50,000 people submitted audition videos.

“I honestly didn’t think I was going to get picked up,” he said. “It was a long shot.”

Gielski is now a contender, one of 100 who will compete in the national finals that air on KING-5, beginning 8 p.m. Monday.

Military lifeAfter graduating from Kentlake, Gielski, 30, attended

community college for about a year and a half before join-ing the Air Force, where he met his wife, Shanna. After 6½ years in the Air Force, Gielski transferred to the National Guard, where he and his wife work full-time.

“It was a better move the family,” Gielski said of his deci-sion to join the National Guard about four years ago. “We can be in the military, but we don’t have to move around. It was a move for our kids (Sophie, 5, and Axel, 4), so they can grow up in an established environment.”

Gielski played football and wrestled at Kentlake, but his best sport was judo, in which he was a state champion as a senior.

He became interested in “Ninja Warrior,” watching the Japanese version of the show while growing up.

“When I was young I used to love jumping over cars,” Gielski recalled. “I remember being at Kentlake and jump-ing down as many stairs as I could.”

Gielski first saw the American version of the show a few years ago while visiting his mother.

“I thought, ‘I could still do this,’” he said. Gielski started researching how to train for the show and

found a parkour/American Ninja Warrior gym near his house.

“Having something to conquer every day gives me the incentive to work out,” he said.

His wife and children also got involved with his training. “We started doing it together as a family,” he said. “It

brought us all together.”During his run on “American Ninja Warrior,” Gielski be-

came known for “magic fingers,” something he began doing while watching the Seattle Seahawks with his family.

“If they were close to scoring, we would send magic through the TV,” he said.

Gielski and his children also send magic – by wiggling their fingers – to each other when they are facing a hard task or obstacle.

Before his qualifying run, Gielski wanted to acknowledge his wife and children, who were alongside the course, and sent them magic, instead of waving.

The “American Ninja Warrior” announcers picked up on the gesture and coined it “magic fingers.”

“Everybody loved that,” Gielski said. “It became a big thing. It is kind of neat to see how many people say, ‘My kid loves that.’”

All in the family Gielski said appearing on the show has also brought his ex-

tended family closer together. His mother and her husband, his grandparents, aunt, former stepfather and mother-in-law watched Gielski compete from the stands in San Pedro. His father traveled to Las Vegas for his national run.

“It’s been neat to all come together in these different places and have a family reunion,” he said. “I don’t get to see every-body every time (he visits the Seattle area). It’s good for the kids to see their family. That’s been the best part about it.”

Gielski said he was nervous before facing the qualifying course. The show, filmed at night, from sundown to sunup, interrupted his sleep. But once he started running the course, adrenaline kicked in.

Gielski made it through the first four of six obstacles easily but got caught up on the I-beam cross, a customized beam with ledges varying in width from 1 to 3 inches. He complet-ed the first half of the obstacles using his arms and legs but switched to using only his arms at the middle part of beam, where it turns from horizontal to vertical, raises a couple feet and turns back horizontally.

He fell just before the end of the obstacle, but finished 14th out of the 30 competitors who moved on to the finals.

Surviving and advancing In the finals course, which consisted of 10 obstacles –

six from the qualifying course, plus four more – Gielski conquered the I-beam cross and made it to the second-to-the-last obstacle before falling. He finished fifth out of 15 competitors who qualified to run the national course.

Gielski was pleased with how well he did on the finals course, considering how tired he was from his previous day’s run. The qualifying and finals course runs are filmed two days in a row, despite airing weeks apart on TV, giving com-petitors little time to prepare for their second run.

“I didn’t think I would make it past the first obstacle,” Gielski said, noting that he got little sleep between his runs because he was pumped up from his qualifying effort.

But once Gielski started running, his adrenaline and his family cheering him on propelled him through the course.

Gielski enjoys the camaraderie and support among the competitors.

“You are competing against each other, but really everyone is competing against themselves,” he said.

Appearing on “American Ninja Warrior” has made Gielski recognizable in his community.

“I will go to the store and people will be like, ‘Are you that ninja guy?’” he said.

Children seem to recognize him most.“I think that is cool,” he said. “I am glad I can kind of

inspire them.” Gielski created a Facebook fan page, Justin Gielski -

American Ninja Warrior.He hopes this is just his first year of many to come compet-

ing on the show. “Going into it I kind of thought it would be a one-time

thing,” he said. “But now I am going to try to come back as many years as they let me.”

After years of behind-the-scene talks with city officials and residents, the YMCA is coming to Kent.

Mayor Suzette Cooke and YMCA leaders plan to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) within the next two weeks to build a $25 million rec-reational facility and pool. The YMCA will go up on the eastern side of what will be the city’s expanded Mor-rill Meadows Park along Southeast 248th Street, just east of 104th Avenue South-east, City Parks Director Jeff Watling said at a City Council workshop on Tuesday.

“I just wanted to say thank you YMCA for join-ing with us in this project,” Councilwoman Debo-rah Ranniger said. “The impetus for this project has actually been around since 2002 when King County announced it was going to close and did close for a period of time the Kent Meridian Pool. We formed a small nonprofit that has been running the pool and we’ve been struggling to keep it open ever since knowing that we needed to really partner with someone to achieve the long-term goal of having an aquatics center and youth facility in Kent.”

It’s expected to take anywhere from three to five years before the new YMCA would open, said Nathan Phillips, YMCA regional director for South King County, during an interview after the meeting.

But the MOU will kick off the project with com-mitments from the city and YMCA about what they will do to get the facility built. The YMCA of Greater Se-attle operates 12 facilities.

City officials still must

purchase one more piece of property as they combine Morrill Meadows Park and the smaller East Hill Park just east of Morrill Mead-ows into one, 23-acre park. The YMCA would be built on about 4 or 5 acres on the eastern side of the property.

Meanwhile, the YMCA will begin a fundraising campaign to pay for the project. The main features of the facility will include a gym and a pool.

“We will have some corporate support but the overwhelming support will be from individuals,” said Bob Gilbertson, CEO of the YMCA of Greater Seattle, to the council. “I wouldn’t expect that com-panies will give more than about 10 percent of this project and 90 percent will come from individuals.”

Gilbertson described what he sees as far as the size of the facility.

“What I would expect at this stage of the game - and it might change a little bit as we go into this - that we would build something in the neighborhood that we built at SeaTac with more aquatics,” Gilbertson said. “That probably puts you in the range of 50,000 to 55,000 square feet. We hope we can bring this in at around $25 million.”

Councilman Jim Berrios said he wanted to make sure the YMCA will offer access to all.

“Part of the reason we are doing this is because there is a need,” Berrios said. “We have at-risk youth in the area that need a place to hang out and be more pro-ductive with their lives. … When we talk about the Y, there is a cost of member-ship but what are we going to do to address access for the youth?”

Phillips said the YMCA reaches out to people through a variety of pro-grams.

“I look, for example, at our YMCA in SeaTac, and we try to make sure we have good access for the community to all of our facilities,” Phillips said. “We do that in a few ways, especially for young people. Almost all of our Y’s have programs for young people that are accessible

to the general public.”As far as membership

prices, the nonprofit agency uses incomes to set those rates.

“We anticipate the Kent YMCA would be an in-come-based pricing YMCA

so that we structure our pricing systems to make it available to as broad a spectrum of the public as possible,” Phillips said.

The city operates the aging Kent Meridian Pool on land owned by the Kent School District next to Kent-Meridian High School. Councilman Den-nis Higgins asked Watling, the parks director, what role the school district might play in a YMCA facility and what might happen to the city pool.

“We will continue our conversations with the Kent School District,” Watling said. “We own the build-ing, they own the land. We will communicate with them about what phasing out that facility looks like once this is built but also the programming and their level of involvement either from a capital standpoint or an operating standpoint for the future building.”

The Legislature helped kick start a new YMCA in Kent with a $500,000 contribution to the city this year for pre-construction costs. The state’s capital budget helps pay for infra-structure to maintain and construct public schools, higher education facilities, parks and other state and community assets. The closest YMCA facilities to Kent are the Auburn Valley YMCA and the Matt Griffin YMCA in SeaTac.

The YMCA formed a steering committee of Kent residents in 2013 to help figure out how to get a facil-ity built in town.

Summer vacation may be over, but fraudsters are just getting started. The Better Business Bureau urges parents and students to brush up on their online safety knowl-edge before heading back to school.

According to the Federal Trade Commission, identity theft ranked as the No. 1 consumer complaint last year nationwide. Cyber crooks often target unsuspecting students or parents who disclose personal information when filling out school forms, scholarships or applica-tions. BBB advises consumers to be wary of online offers and gimmicks designed to steal a person’s identity and money.

Ace this school year by spotting these common back to school scams:

Phony Promotions: Steer clear of online gimmicks that promise discounted electronics or gadgets. Scam-mers lure in customers with too-good-to-be-true deals by having them click on links or pop-up ads. One wrong click could lead to malware on a device or direct the person to an unwanted site.

Spurious Scholarships. Resist the urge for free money offers. Fraudsters will offer bogus scholarships and financial aid packages to victims claiming they’ve been ‘selected’ or ‘awarded’ a scholarship. While some offers may be scams other deals end up charging students for a service that is free.

Deceptive Degrees: Avoid online programs that offer fast and easy high school diplomas or college degrees. Check BBB Business Reviews and read complaints. Online degrees can be costly and fake ones aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on.

To help eliminate the risk of falling victim to a scam, BBB and the FTC recommend the following safeguards before a student heads back to school.

Limit Kids Online Access: Teach kids what not to post online. Never include full names, addresses, and dates of birth or social security numbers on social media sites.

Change Passwords: Use strong passwords on smart phones, tablets and computers. Change the passwords every few weeks and be careful about leaving devices unattended in public areas like dorms or libraries.

Understand Student Rights: The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act protects the privacy of student records. FERPA requires schools to notify parents and guardians about their school directory policy.

Out-of-state companies could see some changes to their Washington state tax obligations due to new legis-lation taking effect Sept. 1.

Economic nexus applies to wholesaling

Businesses located outside Washington will need to be-gin paying the state’s business and occupation tax if they make more than $267,000 in wholesale sales to Washing-ton customers, based on their 2014 sales. These companies were already required to pay the tax if they had physical nexus with the state, which could include a stock of goods, employees or non-employee representatives.

Click-through transactionsThe 2015 Legislature

also approved a second tax change: out-of-state sellers paying a commission or other type of payment to a Wash-ington individual or business to promote their products online could be required to collect the retail sales tax. The law presumes these types of sellers have substantial nexus when sales to Washington

customers referred through this arrangement exceeded $10,000 in 2014 (the prior calendar year).

This click-through nexus provision is modeled after New York state’s law, and Washington joins ap-proximately 15 other states implementing this type of legislation. This change also takes effect Sept. 1.

The new legislation is expected to generate $185 million in new revenue to the state by June 30, 2017.

The Washington State Department of Revenue has developed a web page to help out-of-state businesses understand how and if these new tax laws apply to their business. Visit the Economic Nexus page for out-of-state businesses.

Air pollution rule proposes new fees

Under the federal Clean Air Act, Washington is re-quired to have an air operating permit program for the largest sources of air pollution in the state. Businesses and industries that produce 100 tons or more of air pollution a year are required to obtain an air operating permit.

The Washington Department of Ecology is propos-ing several changes to the rule governing the state’s air operating permit. The public will have the opportunity to learn about the proposal and weigh in until Sept. 18.

The permit, which applies to about 128 facilities in Washington, includes emission limits and require-ments for operations, procedures, monitoring and reporting.

The proposed changes modify how Ecology’s fees are calculated and adds a public review process of the calculations; update requirements for audits; and clarify how federal rules apply to businesses.

Ecology is hosting a public workshop and hearing to review the rule amendments:

When: 10 a.m. Sept. 10Location: 300 Desmond Drive SE, Lacey WA 98504Submit comments Email: [email protected]: Margo Thompson, Air Quality Program,

Speak or submit written comments at the public hearing

Testify through the webinar during the public hear-ing

Fax comments to 360-407-7534The proposed rule amendments, timeline and pub-

lic engagement information are available on Ecology’s Air Operating Permit Regulation web page.

InstructionsProteinEmpty package of crumbles into a hot skillet, allow to thaw. Add taco seasoning and water, cook for a few minutes.Cut onion in half and then into thin strips.*Add onion to crumbles, add more water if necessary and allow to cook down for 10-15 minutes. Turn the burner off once the time is up.Pepper PrepSlice peppers in half, crossways, and remove seeds. Drizzle oil and lemon juice on a foil-covered baking sheet and sprinkle on black pepper. Place peppers on baking sheet, open side down, rubbing each one into oil and lemon juice.Bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees or until skin starts to blister. Let cool until able to handle.

Stuffi ngSlice cheese wedge into small pieces.Add diced tomato, cooked orzo, and cheese to skillet with crumbles. Stir to combine.Stuff peppers with mixture, and bake for another 10 minutes at 400 degrees, open side up this time.Garnish with cilantro, fresh lime

juice and green onions.You will likely have leftovers of the mixture, which keeps really well in the refrigerator.

InstructionsSauceChop the onion, tomatoes, peppers and garlic and place in pot with olive oil to cook down.After a few minutes, add the red wine vinegar to the pot of veggies. After simmering for about fi ve minutes, add the tomato sauce. Add oregano, parsley and a handful of Parmesan to the sauce and stir.Warm the sauce on the stove.

PastaFollow the instructions when cooking the pasta shells. Bring water, salt and olive oil to a boil, then throw in the pasta shells and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes. When done, strain the pasta shells.

BratsCook the sausage until fully cooked (brown on all sides).Then cut them into bite size pieces and stir them into the sauce.

BakeAfter straining the shells, layer the bottom of a large casserole dish with them.Pour the sauce on top and mix in with the noodles.Place the slices of mozzarella on top and cover with the remaining Parmesan.Bake in the oven for 10 minutes at 400 degrees.After time is up, turn the oven to broil. Keep the dish in for a few additional minutes until the cheese browns.Sprinkle the remaining parsley on top as a garish, let cool and enjoy!

Wine pairingClayton suggests a rich red wine like a cabernet sauvignon for this pasta bake.“The salty fl avor of the bratwursts will be magnifi ed by a cabernet,” he said.
