More than half of those who cast ballots in the first wave in King County Fire District 44, also known as Mountain View Fire, gave their approval to Proposition 1, according to results posted to the King County Elections website. But, the levy needs a supermajority, or 60 percent approval, to pass. As of Tuesday night, Proposition 1 had received 2,013 yes votes, or 56.39 percent with a total of 3,572 votes tallied in the first

Maple Valley officials are one step closer to annexing the property known as the donut hole thanks the passage of an amended bill on the Senate floor earlier this week. The amended Senate Bill 5417 passed concurrency with a 34-14 Senate vote Monday afternoon and is headed to the governor’s desk to be signed into law. The bill will allow the city of Maple Valley to begin the annexation process for Summit Place, also known as the donut hole. The property is 156 acres located off Kent-Kangley and Southeast 228th Street that is home to a county transportation maintenance facility, nine holes of the Elk Run Golf Course, and undeveloped land. The donut hole is entirely surrounded by the city of Maple Val-

Next year Kentwood sports teams will be able to play under the lights at home on a safe and functional field BY KATHERINE SMITH
ksmith@covingtonreporter.com
T
his fall Kentwood High sports teams will be playing under the lights at home. As part of the Kent School District’s reallocation of $15.95 million in construction bonds from 2006 the high school will receive a new synthetic football field, new track, field lights and a scoreboard this summer. The total cost for the project is about $3 million. “The reason they (the school board) decided to do it now is because it has been long overdue,� said David Lutes, the district athletic director. “We are the only high schools in the South Sound that had grass fields.� Lutes also cited increasing safety concerns related to the field as a driver for getting the work on the new field. “Our fields were getting to a deteriorated condition where we needed to address them,� Lutes said.

During the summer of 2012 the field at Kentlake was replaced and lights were installed. This year the track will be recoated. The cost of the Kentlake project was less because the school already had a turf field, the top surface just had to be replaced, Lutes said. “The lights were a real bonus for us because it gave us more flexibility to schedule soccer and football pactice,� said Bruce Rick, Kentlake’s athletic director. “The district decided if we were going to replace the field to do the whole ball of wax.� Lutes said the source of funding for the Kentlake project was also from repurposed bond funds. “It (the funding) was originally to address some drainage issues on the Kent-Meridian grass fields,�
Lutes said. According to Lutes, at the time the district had been in talks with the city of Kent to jointly replace some of the grass fields at Kent-Meridian. “It wouldn’t make sense to spend $400,000 to $500,000 on an irrigation project if three or four years later we were going to do synthetic fields,� Lutes said. “That project has since fallen through.� The average life of a synthetic field is 12 to 15 years. The previous Kentlake field lasted 16 years. “I think the community benefits geatly from having each high school being able to take on community activities,� Lutes said. “This is really going to help our youth programs. It might open it up for other types of activitie as well.�

Testy Chef is a family favorite
It all started Aug. 30, 1994, when Shirley Langen bought the property just off of Maple Valley Highway. It was a bait shop, making fish hooks. They only had nine seats and served little burgers. When Shirley bought the building, she only intended for it to be a drive through espresso stand. But while looking around the area, there was a grill. So Shirley thought, ‘Oh I better cook.’ Now Shirley even admitted not being able to cook, but with the help of the amazing staff, it all happened successfully. There is Rose and Lela who met Shirley while she was working at DoubleTree. Also there is Rebecca, Michelle, and Angie. Angie is Shirley’s niece — she has been with her since day one. Also two new employees, Pam and Shelly. Shirley used to know everyone, she worked from morning until night, doing everything for the first three years. On Monday through Friday, the cafe is open from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. On Saturdays, it is open from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., and finally on Sundays, they’re working from 7 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. As you can see the Testy Chef is closed in the time frame between late lunch and early dinner. About five years ago, the Testy Chef girls did do dinner every Wednesday night, but the Testy Chef was successful enough to go without an evening menu, leaving the staff more time with their families. How did they get the name? It’s an interesting story. Another good friend of Shirley from Germany, Isolde, thought of the cute but clever name: Tasty Food Testy Chef. But most know it as the Testy Chef. It fits the situation perfectly! “I didn’t know what I was doing so I incorporated my own menu,� Shirley said. “I just wanted to do things I liked from the 1950s.� Some of the favorites for breakfast items include, of course, the classic Testy Mess. This dish was invented by Shirley’s grandmother, a mess of egg, bacon, peppers, and many other goodies. If you’re like me, and have a small appetite, you could munch on The Mini — two eggs, some bacon and toast — a simple, yummy breakfast! Another good one, especially for some people like my dad (oinkers), is The Biggie. Chow down on this dish that’s smothered in gravy. Yummmmmmmmm! Another recommendation is the eggs beneGuest Columnist
First not always best in news Watching the coverage unfold this past week of the Boston Marathon bombing and subsequent search for the suspects, I can see why so many people in this country are increasingly skeptical of or frustrated with the national news media.

dict. This particular dish is occasionally a special of the day and if you get lucky you should really try it. It has a delicious hollandaise sauce made by Shirley’s husband, Dennis, drizzled on top. OK, now I want to get in the car and drive down to the Testy Chef right now. Food Lovers Unite! As for the lunch menu, I guess Shirley and I think alike, we both favor Uncle Jimmy’s Garlic Burger. The dish is named after Langen’s one and only Uncle Bob! No, just kidding, it’s named after her Uncle Jimmy. Also, the fries they serve are delectable! There are new things being added to the menu once in a while too. There was recently the addition of beer and wine, also there is a new lunch special, halibut and chips. I haven’t got a chance to try it but as soon as I can, I will. “ We only use organic vegetables, and we have the best cuts of meat, like bacon,� Shirley said. Now let me tell you a little bit about the atmosphere of the Testy Chef. As you pull up and park, the little red building dominates your eyesight. Walking up to the door, over the doorstep is like walking into a friends house. The first thing to notice when you step in is the grill side ‘50s diner stools. You see the busy bee girls hustling and bustling to tables, and families enjoying their steaming breakfasts. A small flatscreen TV up on the wall, and pictures covering all the walls, give a comforting feel to the eatery. Another diner essential is the espresso bar, with a small window for the drive through. If you prefer, you can go to the next room, the deck, which is closed and heated in the winter. If you choose to sit out there you can gaze at the picturesque view of the Cedar River. Obviously a lot of people like the Testy Chef,
were in custody, tweeted April 17, “The FBI just scolded the media. It’s like kindergarten. MSNBC is chasing butterflies, FOX News is biting other kids and CNN is eating paste.� This made me laugh and grimace at the same time. I laughed because it was kind of silly, kind of an exaggeration, but also completely spot on at the time. It made me cringe because I was frustrated by the fact every single news organization I follow on Twitter retweeted the CNN story without a second thought. It’s just mindless. It’s part of this rush to be first and verify later mindset which has overtaken
because it’s usually packed! When you take your seat you could have a chance of seeing Rick Rizzs, the Mariners baseball announcer, who dines at the Testy Chef regularly. It’s like, if I have a test at school, I need a good breakfast. Same thing goes with being a baseball announcer! Also Tom Douglas stops by once in a while. You know, Tom Douglas, the well known chef and owner of many restaurants in Seattle including Lola — awesome donuts! Boy, would I sure want the table next to him! Shirley said it’s nice to know that such well known people like her food, but it’s patrons like my mom, dad, and me, and all the others that make their restaurant special. Over the last 19 years, Shirley has enjoyed seeing children grow up into teenagers. I’ve been going there since I was maybe 6 years old and will keep the tradition of my family going. Other than the occasional breakfast or lunch together, the tradition is to go to the Testy Chef on Black Friday every year. The day after Thanksgiving is the day we always get our Christmas tree, and when it’s a bright and early morning, there’s nothing better than a warm breakfast at the Testy Chef to lift your spirits. For future changes, really the only thing is to keep progressing on the menu! Shirley said that every time she considers expanding or making changes, nobody wants her to! The Testy Chef is perfect the way it is. It’s special. Thank you so much Shirley and team! My family and so many others love your food!

Women remember crash victim through cash mobs MEGAN SHERIDAN For the Reporter
Even though the flowers and candles are no longer outside of the Dazzled Dame we know that Sandi Sutton and her love of this community still shines bright. Sandi’s spirit will be woven throughout our entire community forever. One of the ways that we have
chosen to honor her and the many memories that she has given to us all is by supporting our local communities and giving back any way that we can. The first way is through Cash Mobs. Why, What, How.... Cash Mobs? This seems to cover most of the questions we get off the bat. So we thought we would help by answering these questions
and letting the community know about getting involved. With Cash Mobs we bring marketing, customers and cash to our locally owned businesses. These businesses are the foundation of our community and provide jobs, tax revenue and support to our community organizations. We will be doing Cash Mobs on a monthly basis
in Maple Valley and Black Diamond. We hope that you will come out and support these businesses not only at Cash Mob events but also as you go about your daily life. Something as simple as shifting $20 a month from online businesses and big box stores to our local businesses could result in an additional $3 million to our communities. That
calculation is based on 83 percent of the population being over 18, shifting $20 a month for 12 months, with 68 percent of the revenue remaining in the local economy. Based, in part, on the Andersonville Study of Retail Economics. Will you join us in this shift? We look forward to seeing everyone May 1 at Diamond Square in Black
Diamond for our next Cash Mob event.

Kent and Tahoma schools recognized with second annual Green Ribbon Schools awards Students work in Glacier Park’s vegetable garden, pick up litter, participate in planning and maintenance of the rain garden, conduct scientific observations, and are surrounded by examples of efforts by adults and students to sustain the environment. Glacier Park donates the food harvested from the school’s vegetable garden to the Maple Valley Food Bank. Last year, 300 pounds of food were donated. Tahoma Senior High School reduced energy consumption by 33 percent over four years.

Activities include building and maintaining trails, planting native plants, and removing invasive species. Tahoma also offers Global Academy, focusing on the interrelationships between sustainability, the environment, and society.

At times, when covering an event which has wounded our collective pysche as Americans, journalists pursue this more doggedly I think as a coping mechanism. We are in a position where we can do something. And we do — almost blindly. Katherine Smith and I have spent considerable time watching as well as discussing the coverage of the bombing and subsequent manhunt as it has developed. We’ve tried to contact folks who we were told ran the Boston Marathon but were unsuccessful. I hate to push people who were there to tell their stories but in journalism, even if something happened 3,000 miles away, we have to try and find those local connections because it is part of the job. It’s also a way to help work through the damage done by the perpetrators. After 13 years in print journalism, I understand why

for messing up a story, but, nothing on this scale. I’m sure there will always be people who lump us in with the very same media organizations which chase these stories with the kind of abandon which makes them forget everything they learned in journalism school and on the job. That’s part of this gig. As a human being, as a journalist, not to mention as a runner who considers the running community family, I’m kind of appalled by the way this story has been covered.

more and more people think my profession is lower than low. Right now, as I type this, I’m listening to a press briefing with law enforcement officials in Boston and rolling my eyes at the reporters and their questions. But I also ask myself what I would do in that situation and wonder if I should be less judgmental of my colleagues trying to cover a massive story on the other side of the country. Perhaps it is easy to criticize. But, I know what we’ve done when this paper has covered major breaking news stories, and we’ve done everything we could to get it right then get it out. Being first does feel good. It’s a rush. It is not, however, a driving force for us. It is possible to break a story and not be a jerk, to display some compassion.

Field learning is a key part of Tahoma’s approach to sustainability education. Field experiences include hiking and trail restoration and working on-site with Friends of the Cedar River Watershed. Kent was recognized as the first ever winner of the District Sustainability Award. Kent, the fourth largest and the most diverse district in the state was recognized for adopting sustainable design standards, reducing energy use and costs, improving health and wellness, and strengthening environmental education over the past 15 years. Among the accomplishments of the district are its Going Gold program, which limits irrigation and sprinkler use to play fields. The district has also installed aerators on all sink faucets, and motion sensors on new faucets. This resulted in a 65 percent reduction in irrigation water use and a 32

The Kent and Tahoma School Districts were honored Monday by the Department of Education as recipients of the second annual Green Ribbon Schools awards. Glacier Park Elementary and Tahoma High School were recognized from Tahoma. Students and staff at Glacier Park and local companies have partnered together to reduce the school’s waste, going from three weekly garbage pickups to one. The program has motivated school leaders to explore new ways to reduce Glacier Park’s environmental impact. To reduce stormwater runoff, Glacier Park has partnered with the City of Maple Valley to install a rain garden, and has replaced a section of the sidewalk with permeable concrete.

[6] April 26, 2013 [ FIRE from page 1] wave. There are 12,455 voters in the district. Results of the election will be certified May 7. If the levy, after all the ballots are counted, is approved the additional revenue from the four-year levy would allow the district to maintain its current staffing levels. District 44 serves 32,000 residents in 70 square miles in unincorporated King County and the city of Black Diamond. District 44 currently
collects $1.50 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. If the levy is approved, the additional maximum tax is estimated to be no more than $31 more a year or $2.58 a month per $100,000 assessed valuation. According to information provided by Mountain View Fire Chief Greg Smith in March, a 39.8 percent drop in assessed property values during the past four years in Fire District 44 have led to a substantial drop in its revenues, more than $1.8 million since
2008. As a result, five administrative, support and maintenance positions in the past two years nor was a vacant firefighter position filled. Smith wrote in March he believes this is a short-term need and will help District 44 get through the tail end of the recovery from the recession. Money raised by the levy would allow the district to preserve its current staffing levels.
MAPLE VALLEY FIRE Meanwhile, residents of
Fire District 43, also known as Maple Valley Fire and Life Safety, approved that district’s levy on Tuesday. The Tuesday evening vote tally put the yes votes at 4,551, or 62.6 percent, and 2,712 no votes, or 37.3 percent. There are 25,109 voters in the district. Passage of the levy will allow the district to maintain current service levels and prevent lay offs of an additional six firefighters. According to Maple Valley Fire officials, home values in the district have
decline 31 percent since 2009, resulting in decreased revenue for the district. The district has cut its budget by $1.6 million by eliminating five firefighter-EMT positions and four administrative positions as well as decreasing training and other administrative costs. The district also dipped into its reserve fund to preserve staffing levels this year. The levy will cost homeowners approximately an additional $.38 per $1,000 of assessed valuation over three years beginning in 2014. The
[ ANNEXATION from page 1] ley. Annexation will shift control of zoning the property from King County, which also owns the land, to the city. Passage of the bill will not affect the ownership of the property. “Watching this process unfold has been a lesson for all of us on the political process in Olympia,� said David Johnston, Maple Valley city manager. “It’s a good day in the history of Maple Valley. It’ll be a great day when we see the governor sign the bill.� After Gov. Inslee signs the bill and it becomes law the city will begin the steps to annex the land. Johnston said at the City Council meeting Monday night that those steps include meeting with the city attorney, publishing notice of the city’s intent, a public hearing, and a comprehensive plan amendment as well as zoning changes. Passage of the bill doesn’t immediately change anything regarding the possibility of the Tahoma School District buying a portion of the property, according to district spokesman Kevin Patterson. Late last year the district was in negotiations with the county to buy approximately 35 acres to use as the site for a new high school, but the discussions stalled when both parties couldn’t agree on a purchase price. “It doesn’t really change anything at this point,� Patterson said. “It still comes down to will it be possible

for the district to purchase a piece of property in the donut hole?� While that’s a point of ongoing discussion between the district and the county, Maple Valley officials praised the work of 5th District representatives to move the legislation through Olympia. “Olympia did what was best for the citizens of Maple Valley,� Mayor Bill Allison said Monday night. “I’m thankful for all the work Sen. Fain and Sen. Mullet did, that Rep. Sullivan and Rodne (did), and I’m thankful for all the prayers of the citizens of our community. After all the phone calls, all the meetings with representatives and senators, these are the situations that make it exciting and worth everything to be in this position.� Allison also said he was thankful for the hard work and hours Johnston and the city’s lobbyist, Jim Hendrick, spent on the bill. In a phone interview Wednesday King County Council member Reagan Dunn said he believes annexing the property is in the best interest of the city, although a change in zoning will cost the county. “I have mixed emotions about it,� Dunn said. “I’ve long held the belief that the donut hole should be part of Maple Valley...ultimately I think it will reduce the value of the land for King County...I think King County had unrealistic expectations for the value of that land.�

Community News and Notes EVENTS FOR DEMENTIA PATIENT CAREGIVERS Arbor Village Continuing Care Retirement Comunity is hosting two events for those caring for someone with dementia on May 3. The first event is for professionals and will offer a 360 degree view of the needs of clients with memory challenges led by dementia expert Teepa Snow. The event will be held from 2:15 to 4:15 p.m. The second event will be for all other caregivers from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. and will offer strategies for improving the quality of visits and enhancing time spent together. Both events will be held at The Inn at
[ ANIMALS from page 1] they’ve taken in turtles and ducklings, for example. State Fish and Game gave South Sound Critter Care a $10,000 grant which was used to rip out carpet and replace it with flooring which is easier to clean, White said. Then the Puyallup Tribe of Indians gave SSCC a little more than $7,000 which was used to replace the washer and dryer in the rehab center as well as build fencing. In addition, the Nisqually Indian Tribe donated $5,000 to help care for and feed animals, which covers about half of the annual food bill, Birch said. “We have to spend thousands of dollars in advance before the animals even get here for formulas for the specific animals ‌ which is not cheap,â€? White said. “We’re trying to set it up so people come directly into the wildlife center instead of the veterinary hospital office so they can have direct access to the people who can help them.â€? White added that the support from the Native American community has been tremendous in the past year and greatly ap-

PROPERTY TAXES FOR FIRST HALF OF 2013 DUE King County property owners have until Tuesday, April 30 to pay the first half of their 2013 property taxes. After April 30, interest charges and penalties will be added to the tax bill. To make the process easier, King County provides several ways for property owners to pay their taxes quickly and conveniently. Tax payments can be made by mail
preciated. Beyond that, White said, there is also now an office and an exam room as well as a website, www.southsoundcrittercare.com. Another first this year for the nonprofit, White said, is a fundraiser which the public is invited to set for 1-4 p.m., Sunday, May 5, at the Greater Maple Valley Community Center. Dubbed the Baby Shower, it will be an opportunity for community members to learn more about South Sound Critter Care and wild animal rehabilitation, hear speakers such as Tim Brown — who is known as the eagle whisperer — from Fish and Game as well as Chris Anderson from the city of Auburn. Anderson will talk about Auburn’s environmental restoration projects. In addition, Meg Lumin from Happy Valley Bats will be on hand to talk about her work in bat conservation. “There will also be a kids activity table with stuff like

The online option provides immediate payment confirmation for current year or delinquent year(s) property tax bills. To pay online or view property tax information, taxpayers can visit www.kingcounty.gov/propertytax. For questions about missing tax statements or other tax payment information, contact King County Treasury Operations through its website at www.kingcounty.gov/propertytax or by calling 206-296-0923. Information on senior citizen exemption and deferral programs can be obtained from the King County Assessor’s Office by calling 206-296-3920.
Community members are invited to attend a Future Ready Cafe hosted by the Tahoma School District from 5:15 to 9 p.m. on May 16 at Tahoma Junior High. Those who attend will have the chance to review and provide input on the district’s outcomes and indicators that represent the framework for student learning in the district. The goal of the district is to ensure that the outcomes and indicators reflect its commitment to all students being ready for post high school learning and work by bringing the outcomes and indicators into closer alignment with Tahoma’s Future Ready Initiative.
building bird houses,� Birch said. “We’ve got a freebie gift bag for the first 100 people in the door.� White said a volunteer will be at the door along with collection barrels for items that inspired the baby shower theme. Those who attend can drop off dry or wet puppy and kitten food, paper towels which are used for bird nests — SSCC has a federal wildlife license to care for birds — and sandwich bags. There will be an auction, as well, with a wide variety of items available ranging from tickets to the Paul McCartney show set for July 19 at Safeco Field to date nights and a whole array of things. All of the proceeds would go to South Sound Critter Care because the nonprofit is staffed by volunteers, Birch said. Beyond that, though, the money raised would also help Birch and White build toward a larger, long-term vision for SSCC.
“We’re starting our fiveyear plan to find another piece of land for a permanent site,â€? White said. “Eventually we’ll have the rehab center here ‌ then a nature center for the kids where people can come and do activities with their families. We want to do the whole thing. We want to be one more reason why people move to this area.â€? Referrals for animals pick up mid-summer and there are some animals they can’t take in such as deer fawn or eagles because of space
limitations. Other vets as well as animal rehab centers will send well-intentioned souls who have found creatures in need of care to SSCC in addition to the people who find the nonprofit through Washington Fish and Game’s website. Finding a piece of property large enough — between 15 and 20 acres — for eagles, deer fawn and other animals requiring more space is critical. Birch and White hope to build on the support they’ve already received from the com-

Talking louder isn’t the answer, so last minute it is When I reminded my family we were meeting their grandparents at a restaurant to celebrate my oldest daughter’s birthday, I got mixed responses. My husband wanted to know what time, my oldest said, “oh yeah,� and my youngest claimed she didn’t know about it. I know I told everyone, not just once but many times — it has been the topic of conversation all week. Not only that but it’s on the calendar and visible to any inquiring minds when figuring out their schedules. I can assure you they all know when they have to be at birthday parties, swap meets and other fun places that benefit only them, but I have yet to get any of them to remem-
friend’s mom and asked her if her husband was attending too. She said, “Probably, but I won’t tell him until that evening when he asks what’s for dinner. Then I’ll just say, ‘Come with me.’ He’ll never remember if I tell him now.� She has four children, two in college, two in high school and when she said that me, a bell went off in my head: I’ve missed the mark all these years. I have often complained about having to repeat myself over and over again. I do more talking than anyone in the household just because I have conversations several times over. I feel like the dog: when I walk the dog, she covers more area than I do because she walks in a zigzag down the path, whereas I walk in a straight line. It’s the same with conversations with my family.
Monday: “We are going to have dinner with Grandma on Sunday.� Tuesday: “I’ll want to leave here by 11:30 Sunday morning and we’ll be gone several hours. You both should probably make sure your homework is finished on Saturday, because you’ll probably be tired Sunday night.� Wednesday: “My mom is coming with us to have dinner with Grandma. We’ll take two cars so we won’t be crammed in one car.� Thursday: “I know you have a birthday party to attend on Saturday, it’s not overnight is it? I don’t want you to be tired when we meet Grandma to celebrate your sister’s birthday.� Friday: “Do you have a plan for your homework that’s due on Monday? I suggest you take advantage of Saturday and get it done
so you can enjoy your party with Grandma without homework hovering over your head.� Saturday: “We have to leave at 11:30 tomorrow.� Oldest: “Oh yeah, I guess I’ll just have to suck it up and finish my homework Sunday night.� Youngest: “Where are we going. No one told me.� Dad: “What time?� These conversations are not exact, but in the span of motherhood, I’ve lived these scenarios many times — I’m making a point about how much I talk about coming events. My youngest said to me, “Well, you didn’t tell me very loud.� I said, “Well, you don’t listen very loud.� Talking louder is not the answer. Believe me I’ve spent a lot of their lives talking louder. I need to change my strategy and

HELP FOR NIGHTTIME COUGHS Nighttime coughing can lead to more than just a poor night’s sleep. Too much coughing at night can actually irritate the airways enough to prolong the reason for the cough. The trick, then, is to manage that nighttime cough to keep it at bay. Start by drinking an herbal tea with honey. Warm liquids break up mucus in the airways. Prop up some pillows to sleep at a slight incline to keep post nasal drip draining. Take a warm shower before bed unless asthma is a problem. Keep a glass of water and some cough drops by the bed to relieve coughing upon awakening. Keep the sheets clean, especially if you also suffer from allergies. If you are experiencing nighttime coughing, call your doctor to schedule a thorough evaluation as infections and more serious diseases can cause nighttime coughing. If there’s no obvious infection or evidence of something more serious, your health care provider may consider other potential causes of nighttime coughing such as asthma, acid reflux, medication use, or post nasal drip. To schedule an appointment at Southlake Clinic, please call (253) 395-1972. Our Covington clinic is located at 27005 168th Place SE. Our primary care providers are supported by a network of multispecialty physicians and services. 764567

Anticavity Tip: Water consumption is the most effective way to slow cavity progression in children because of its natural ability to reduce intraoral acidity and cleanse the mouth. How much water is enough? As a general rule, the amount of water your child should consume (ounces) a day is equal to half their total body weight in pounds. Example: 28 pound child = 14 ounces or 2 cups; 46 pound child = 23 ounces or 3 cups.

...YOUNG AT HEART
Dementia affects more than those diagnosed “People eventually become incapable of caring for themselves, and then in the vast majority of cases, their loved ones become incapable of caring for them.� So far, there is no cure or effective treatment for dementia. However, there are numerous studies suggesting that certain preventive measures may be helpful, at least in terms of delaying or slowing the debilitating effects. For instance, certain health and lifestyle factors associated with the risk of Alzheimer’s disease can be controlled, according to the National Institutes of Health. Scientists are exploring whether prevention strategies like physical exercise, diet and intellectual stimulation can counteract deterioration. Controlling body weight and blood pressure are among the most common recommendations experts give in this regard. Also, keeping the brain engaged by constant learning and participating in a lively social environment are thought to be helpful. Unfortunately, most of this is guesswork. The truth is that we don’t know why dementia is so dramatically on the rise. Is the reason that we live longer, that we eat the wrong foods, that we exercise too little, that we watch too much TV, that we find ourselves increasingly isolated as we grow older – all of the above and more? We don’t know. Still, we cannot sit idly and ignore the facts. In any case, adherence to a healthy lifestyle will do no harm. We may not find out the specific causes, if there are any, and there may not be an effective treatment available for the foreseeable future. But in the meantime, we can and should do everything in our power to stay as healthy and active as possible for as long as we can. A good way of going about that is to satisfy all our health needs in every aspect by eating right, exercising regularly,
reducing stress, getting enough sleep, nursing relationships, reading books, learning foreign languages and computer programs and so forth. Not one but all of these together make for what I have called the pillars of our wellbeing. Until there are better options,
that’s all we can do, and that’s not nothing.

HEALTHY LIVING
One of the most feared health problems the aging Baby Boomer generation will face is dementia. And it won’t just affect those suffering from mental decline but also those who care for them and society at large, at least in financial terms. A new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine predicts that healthcare costs in connection with age-related dementia, such as Alzheimer’s disease, will soon surpass almost all other medical expenses, including for heart disease and cancer, two of today’s leading causes of death. The study, which was conducted by economists at the RAND Corporation and sponsored by the federal government, found that expenditures for dementia patients will at least double by 2040 with 3.8 million Americans age 71 and older diagnosed with some form of age-related cognitive decline. In another generation, the researchers say, there will be over nine million. Direct healthcare costs, including nursing home care, per dementia patient run currently between $41,000 and $56,000 a year. Total expenses in the United States in 2010, the year the study collected its data, ranged from $159 billion to 215 billion. It is projected that these numbers will increase to well over $500 billion annually by midcentury. Not included in these calculations are the costs of what is considered informal care, which is usually provided by family members and voluntary caregivers. It is hard to put a price tag on their efforts, but the study estimates a total of $50 billion to $106 billion spent per year. “The long-term care costs associated with people with dementia are particularly high because of the nature of the disease,� said Donald Moulds, assistant secretary for planning and evaluation at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), in an interview with the New York Times.

The last week of April is time to fertilize the lawn with a slow-release plant food and then add calcium in the form of Super Sweet lime if your grass is full of moss or buttercups. Our naturally acidic soil is great for growing rhododendrons, azaleas, blueberries and blue hydrangeas but not so great for growing lawns. Adding calcium is an inexpensive way to raise the pH and make the soil less acidic. The lime in the calcium also helps to break up clay soils and improves drainage.

newly planted shrub will need extra water until a root system is established. Rhododendrons also prefer shade from the hot afternoon sun. Q. Why won’t my rhododendrons bloom? I have them planted in a shady area and they have beautiful green leaves and look healthy. They make buds that then turn into leaves. Should I use a rose and flower fertilizer? I have been using a rhododendron fertilizer but it has been three years and still no flowers! R., Olympia A. You may have too much shade. If you have deep shade, choose rhodies with light green leaves and lighter flowers that bloom in shades of white and pale pink. One rhododendron variety that blooms early even in the shade is called Christmas Cheer and you can find this shade-lover at local nurseries. A lack of late summer water also can cause rhododendrons to form foliage over flowers. Rhododendrons are not heavy feeders so using a rose and flower food around your rhododendrons may do more harm than good.

growing higher than my window. Help! N.P., Maple Valley A. Check out the size of the leaf on your rhododendron. The longer the leaf the taller the plant wants to grow. Gigantic tree rhododendrons can have leaves more than a foot long. Tiny rock garden rhodies have foliage the size of a mouse ear and the plants never grow more than a few inches tall. Don’t fight Mother Nature – move your ambitious rhodies to a place where they can spread their elbows and replace them with a dwarf variety that has leaves about 1 inch long. A pink dwarf rhodie in bloom now at local nurseries is called Ginny Gee and another compact variety with red flowers is called Scarlet Wonder. Both have neat and tidy growth habits. Q. Can I grow happy rhododendrons without a sprinkler system? I am not much for summer watering and I think this is why I have lost rhododendrons in the past. Sign me “Guilty of plant murder.� A. Happiness is just a bag of wood chips away. Rhododendrons can survive on rainfall alone in our climate as long as there is plenty of water-holding organic matter in the soil like wood ships or fine bark mulch. Be careful not to pile any mulch up around the neck of your rhododendrons. They hate wearing a turtleneck and bark chips can repel light rainfall. Wood chips or arborist chips with a mix of foliage and wood will more easily absorb and hold moisture. The first summer in the garden, any

The meet was held in Helena, Montana and the Summit team competed against athletes from Washington, Idaho, Montana, Alaska and Oregon.

Lindsey Moore, who graduates from the University of Nebraska May 4, will have less than 24 hours before she starts her first job after college. A graduate of Kentwood High, Moore was selected in the first round of the WNBA draft by the Minnesota Lynx April 15. She reports to training camp the day after she will receive a degree in communications. “It’s time to get to work and start your job,� Moore said. “It was pretty funny, I was picking up my cap and gown and there’s people asking me if I have a job after college. I was like, ‘Mmhmm. Yes, I do.’� Despite holding a number of records for the Cornhuskers, the 5-foot-9 point guard said in a phone interview April 17 she wasn’t even aware of the possibility she was a professional prospect until the middle of this past season. “For the most part I was really focused on my season,� Moore said. “Every once in a while people would say, ‘Have you looked at the potential draft boards? You’re on there.’� Moore was surprised the first time it came up, but, when agents started contacting her prior to the draft she knew it could happen. This comes after an incredible high school career at Kentwood which she capped off with a 4A state championship her senior
Lindsey Moore goes up for the shot for Nebraska in a Big 10 game against Ohio State. Moore is a 2009 graduate of Kentwood High School where she won a state title as senior.

She set two singleseason records during her senior campaign and holds four career records. Moore is also the only player in Nebraska basketball history — men’s or women’s — to start on two different Sweet 16 squads. Though if you asked her early in the season if the Huskers were going to make it back to the tournament, much less the Sweet 16, Moore may have been a bit doubtful. “It was weird because we started off the Big 10 season 2-3,� Moore said. “At that point I was like there was no way we’re going to make the tournament if we don’t turn it around, then sure enough we went on a 10 game winning streak. We were playing for seeding when it came to our conference tournament.�

she was invited. She arrived in Bristol, Conn., the site of the draft, and spent the weekend in meetings that covered everything a WNBA prospect would need to know. Then April 15, a Monday, the invitees attended a luncheon with staff from ESPN. From there, Moore said, they went to get hair and makeup done. Finally, she spent some time with her family for a couple of hours then she was on set with the other 11 players for the draft. Though Moore said she dreamt of playing in the WNBA even before she put on the Kentwood uniform, it was not something she counted on. “I never thought it would happen,� Moore said. “It was definitely a surprise. It was kind of a shock when I went up there and they called my name. I never would have thought I would be one of the 12 invited and someone would call my name and I would go up there and they would take my picture with a jersey.� Moore was the 12th pick in the draft. Part of the shock came by the team which drafted her. She was expecting a couple of other teams to select her based on phone calls and talk about interest. Minnesota was not on the radar. Though it seemed like a dream, Moore thought to herself as it happened that she couldn’t wait to call her parents or her two older sisters. She had to wait, though, until after she got off the set to get her cell phone and make those calls. No one wants a cell phone to go off during the selection process. “I picked up my phone and it literally wouldn’t stop vibrating,� Moore said. “At that point, I had 75 messages, a ridiculous amounts of tweets, Facebook notifications, my phone was [ more PICK page 13 ]

A block away from Boston Marathon bomb
Aaron Stafford planned a special 30th birthday party for his wife, Lori Stafford Sunday when she returned to Enumclaw from Boston. Lori Stafford ran in the Boston Marathon Monday, April 15, finishing 45 minutes before the two bombs exploded. She was just one block away when the bombs detonated. “I was going to meet my family,� Lori Stafford said. “When it went off there was a very loud boom. I looked up, but I couldn’t see anything at first, but we knew something serious was going on.� Very quickly, she said, the area was flooded with ambulances and police and the air was filled with sirens. “I could see the panic in people’s eyes,� she said during a phone interview. “We were separated from our families. We were trying to make calls out but the cell phones were all down.� Back home, Aaron Stafford said he was working on a machine in Auburn with his excavating

They’re so supportive of me.� In fact, when the Lynx selected her, Moore said, her family instantly became fans of the Minnesota team which played in the WNBA Finals in 2012. The next step for her family, Moore said, was to find out when Minnesota travels to Seattle to play.

been her goal since sixth grade to run in the Boston Marathon. “The first time I heard about it I wanted to run in the Boston Marathon,â€? she said. “I have been running since I was a kid.â€? She has been seriously running marathons for the past 10 years. After a decade of training she cut an hour off her time in order to qualify for the Boston Marathon. She had to make 3 hours, 35 minutes to make the cut. In September 2012 at the Utah marathon she ran 3:29 qualifying for the Boston Marathon. “I qualified (for the Boston Marathon) in 2009 but I didn’t register in time,â€? she said. “I was crying because I thought I had missed my chance.â€? Over the past decade Lori Stafford said she trained between having three children. “I would have a kid, then run another marathon, then have a kid,â€? she said Finally this year she was able to realize her dream. “It was as cool as I thought it would be,â€? she said. “People lined the course for 26 miles. It is like the whole town shuts down for it. It is so upsetting someone would do something so awful and evil at a time there is so much support for everyone‌. It is heartbreaking to think
While she still has some business to take care of at Nebraska in terms of classes and finals, Moore is ready to start the next phase of her basketball career. She will back up Lindsay Whalen, a 10-year WNBA veteran and Olympic gold medalist. Moore sees considerable opportunity in her role for the Lynx. “We have a great point guard in Lindsay Whalen, so, it will be about giving her breaks,� Moore said.
“I’m excited to get in the league and learn as much from her as I can and watch her lead. I just want to be a good backup point guard for her.� Moore said she hopes to remain a part of basketball even after her playing career ends —maybe coaching or officiating. “It will be hard for me to go cold turkey,� she said. “I think I’ll need (basketball) in some way in my life.� For now, though, she can enjoy her last days as a col-

Editor’s note: The most recent information is three have died and 183 were injured from the two explosions near the finish line of the marathon. Another former Enumclaw resident, Jeremy Koontz, was at the finish line with his family to meet Lori Stafford. Koontz and his family were not injured. She and her family stayed at his residence for several hours following the blast when city officials advised everyone to stay away from public transportation. Lori Stafford said by phone Tuesday she was able to tour the city and most establishments were open, although some were closed. She said people were out and moving around the city.

Community News and Notes
Windermere Maple Valley. “Having our real estate community involved is a real benefit for us because they tend to be competitive,� Swisher said. “Every dollar we don’t have to spend goes toward (American Cancer Society).� It’s also important to Swisher and Parker to grow the event in many different ways. “It’s not too late to sign up a team. It’s not too late to fundraise,� Swisher said. “We welcome everybody. And the big thing is welcoming survivors. If you’re a military member, come walk in our heroes lap, if you’re a first responder, come walk in our heroes lap. If you’re a survivor, come walk in our survivors lap, and you don’t have to fundraise if you’re a survivor.� One recent development which could help this Relay grow, Parker said, is the news that Pat Flynn will attend this year. Flynn got involved with Relay in the second year in Tacoma, where it was founded decades ago. “We’re very honored to have her and humbled at the same time,� Parker said.

With 60 days left before the Covington-Maple ValleyBlack Diamond Relay for Life event, organizers were notified Kentwood High’s track couldn’t be the site for the event which is set for June 1-2. Relay committee co-chairs Janet Swisher and Lacy Parker had to scramble to find an alternate venue. “We start planning usually two to three months after the previous Relay,� Swisher said. “In September we had our contract signed with the school. It was initial panic (when the venue had to change) but it all works out.� Indeed it did as they were able to move the event to Cedar Heights Middle School. “Things have fallen into place pretty quickly and smoothly, really,� Parker said. “It’s just getting the word out and making sure everybody knows.� A venue change is a big deal because the event was shifted to Kentwood a year ago after being at Tahoma Junior High for years. But the move to Kentwood seemed to have a significant impact — as did moving the event up on the schedule to early June while school was still in session — as the number of teams and participants doubled from 2011 to 2012. Thus far, Parker said, there are 246 participants signed up which is about how many were committed this time last year. So, a venue change can impact the goal to bring in as
many teams and participants this year, or more. “We have 43 teams registered right now and last year, when all was said and done, we had 46,� Parker said. “We’re happy with those results and we only have potential to grow from there.� This year, Swisher said, they’ll take the feedback about the event from 2012 and apply it to the planning for the event. There will be some new logistical challenges being at Cedar Heights, but, they can manage that. “Last year people told us they couldn’t hear,� Swisher said. “We’re going to set up the track differently. I think people are going to like it better.� In addition to the logistics of the venue change, Swisher said, there will be a greater focus on the Heroes Lap which will recognize first responders. There is a new team this year which has a member who is a decorated Renton Police officer who is battling cancer. Swisher noted that there is always room for more help. “We definitely need more volunteers,� Swisher said. “We want to reach out to any of our community groups, Scouts, churches, any groups (to volunteer). We never have volunteers standing around.� Parker added that even helping out for as little as 30 minutes would make a difference. So far, Parker said, sponsor support has grown as well. They are thankful for the support they’ve received from EJ’s Custom Catering and Cedar River Grill, both of which are based in Maple Valley, as well as new sponsors such as

Which is the best avenue for a strong economy? Republicans want to free themselves of government regulations and taxation. Democrats want to protect the poor and middle class with a safety net. This is the battle we are seeing in the nation’s Capitol right now. Which is the best approach? Neither, according to Jerry Z. Muller in his Foreign Affairs article “Capitalism and Inequality: What the Right and the Left Get Wrong.� Muller’s thesis, and mine as well, is: current capitalist politicians need to accept the fact that a market economy means there will be failures. Society needs to cushion citizens from insecurity and inequality that failure brings and at the same time allow capitalism’s strengths of dynamism to be unleashed to grow the economy. Let’s define capitalism. According to an Internet search, capitalism is: “An economic and political system in which trade is controlled by private owners for profit.� When I taught basic economics to high schoolers I added the fact that capitalism involves risk of failure. Those with better educations, incomes and connections tend to succeed more often than those who don’t have those advantages. Additionally, certain groups like women and minorities have historically been blocked from advancing by societal norms and biases. As a result, some are better at making a profit than others. This results in a growing divide between rich and poor. Eventually, according to Muller, democratic governments in capitalist economies have stepped in to ease the insecurity created by the market economy. Government intervention has historically allowed “capitalism and democracy to coexist in relative harmony.� Beginning in the 1980s, this safety net was reduced due in great part to the “financialization of the economy.� Depression-era regulations were weakened or not enforced as the generation who remembered the Great Depression died off or ceased to have as much influence. Investment banks gained more power as their profits soared through trading complex new financial instruments like credit

default swaps. These documents shifted accountability and risk from the banks to bond holders who purchased them. Additionally, the increasing power and size of these financial institutions led the fund managers to go for short-term gains rather than long-term planning. These attitudes caused more “churning that increases the likelihood of job losses and economic insecurity.� Add the rising economic power of nations like China and India with a lower standard of living and a rising educated middle class. American workers with their industrial jobs could no longer compete with these millions of cheaper laborers. In democracies, average citizens want to protect their incomes and savings with government safety nets like unemployment insurance, government regulation of banks, Social Security and Medicare. Financial institutions’ goals are to increase wealth for the corporate money managers and the economic elite. Something has to give. Muller warns that capitalism is in danger as the inequality between rich and poor increases. “Major government social welfare spending is a proper response to some inherently problematic features of capitalism, not a ‘beast’ that should be ‘starved.’� In other words, it is in the best economic interest of the economic elites to share some of their wealth with the poor and middle class so that the rich can continue to be rich. Henry Ford understood this principle in the 1920s by paying his workers an unprecedented $5 a day. Unless his workers could afford to purchase the products Ford was producing, he would have no one to buy his cars. The difficulty lies in the fact that unless this partial transfer of wealth from the rich to the poor and middle classes is done wisely, the natural dynamism and creativity of capitalism can also be stifled. Two forces need to be balanced: capitalism and protection for the middle and lower classes. Too much insecurity hurts all the classes and endangers the economy. Too much power in the hands of one or the other hurts the nation and in the long run no one will benefit.
