Kentwood, Kentlake, and Tahoma high schools all saw big gains in the number of students who passed End of Course exams in the 2012-2013 school year according to data released by the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. End of Course exams in math and biology, which were implemented in 2011 and 2013, respectively, test students on what they learned in specific courses instead of a comprehensive test like the High School Proficiency Exam, also known as HSPE, according to OSPI. End of Course exams in math have replaced the math portion of the HSPE and students are required to pass one of the exams in order to graduate. Passing the science exam will be a graduation requirement beginning with the

Dashing in support of breast cancer research BY KRIS HILL khill@maplevalleyreporter.com
Kristi Blair’s grand vision of raising $100,000 this year at the second annual Wings of Karen Bra Dash 5K at Lake Wilderness is nearly reality. According to information Blair provided in an email interview, the Bra Dash raised a little more than $95,000 as of Tuesday, with 100 percent of the proceeds set to go to researchers in the Northwest looking for answers to the breast cancer riddle. “We are taken back by the amount of support and morale this dash has brought to our cause,� Blair wrote. “It’s everything we could have hoped for and more. The spirit of the participants was something we dreamed of but it’s not until you are there that you really realize just how powerful it all is. It’s amazing what a community can do!� After the dust settled in 2012 on the inaugural event, $30,000 was raised and 800 people participated in the 3.1 mile walk and run at Lake Wilderness Park. This year the event grew by leaps and bounds with greater sponsor participation, a different route for the 5K, along with triple the money raised and double the number of participants. Blair wrote that the Bra Dash is for the next generation, to find answers so today’s children don’t have to fight breast cancer. “I hope someday their memory of breast cancer will be about tossing bras and
running for fun with their friends,� Blair wrote. “May they never face this disease as I and so many others have. Their future is in our hands. Thank you everyone for bringing us closer to a world without breast cancer. (The) 5K Bra Dash is what tangible hope looks like. In support of our worldrenowned researcher community, almost $100,000 through Wings of Karen will reach the hands of those vigilantly searching for a cure. I am forever grateful to so many.� Men, women, teens, and toddlers, wore bras over their shirts while some donned costumes for the event. There were Seattle Seahawks themed bras, others decorated their garments with pinwheels, flowers, owls, tassels and names of loved ones fighting breast cancer or lost to the disease. Runners and walkers from all over the region who heard about the event through word of mouth descended on Lake Wilderness Park dashing in honor of friends, mothers, aunts, sisters, wives and grandmothers. Blair founded the nonprofit in February 2012, naming it after her mother Karen, who died in 2007 after a battle with breast cancer. In October 2011 Blair was diagnosed with the disease. It wasn’t long before she began to fight back. The foundation’s mission is to raise money for research in the Puget Sound region with a particular focus on supporting the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, a collaboration between

The Maple Valley City Council and the King County Council independently gave unanimous approval to an interlocal agreement between the county and the city allowing the city to annex the county-owned Donut Hole property on Sept. 9. The Donut Hole is 154 acres of unincorporated land within the urban growth boundary off Kent-Kangley Road Southeast and Southeast 228th Street that is home to nine holes of Elk Run Golf
Emergency and disaster preparedness and the Tahoma School Bond were the main topics discussed at the Greater Maple Valley Unincorporated Area Council monthly meeting on Sept. 9.
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS Rich Tokarzewski, Plans Manager from the King County Emergency Management Office, spoke on the county’s comprehensive emergency management plan. The plan details who does what during emergencies and is used by County officials and departments in mitigating, preparing for, responding to, and recovering from natural and technological disasters. The plan includes identification of hazards, assessment of vulnerabilities, and planning for regional and catastrophic disasters, evacuations, mass care and feeding, and hazardous materials accidents.

Superintendent Mike Maryanski spoke about the upcoming $195 million construction bond measure. An additional $20 million will be matched by the State resulting in a total of $215 million available for projects. The 20-year bonds would cost property owners $1.47 per $1,000 of assessed valuation above the current tax rate. The owner of a home valued at $300,000 would pay about $441 a year more than the current tax. Maryanski stated the construction bond measure would result in a new fouryear Tahoma High School, a remodeled Lake Wilderness Elementary School, and modifications to other schools, all of which would relieve the district’s severe overcrowding. The new high school for

continued operation of the roads maintenance facility owned by the King County Department of Transportation that is located on the property until the county is able to relocate the facility. “This is a huge day for Maple Valley,” said Maple Valley councilman Noel Gerken at the Sept. 9 meeting. “I think it’s a minor miracle we’re here today. It’s just fantastic.” Earlier this year Gov. Inslee signed Senate Bill 5417 into law which amended the requirements a piece of property must meet before a city can initiate the annexation process, thus
allowing Maple Valley to annex the Donut Hole. The city plans to rezone the property, which is currently zoned for residential development, as part of the 2014 comprehensive plan update. The Tahoma School District is in the process of buying 35 acres in the Donut Hole that is the proposed site of a new Tahoma High School, a project that is contingent on the district’s proposed construction bond being passed by voters in November. “This legislation paves the way for the residents of Maple Valley to determine future plans for this
property in a way that best suits their needs,” said county councilman Reagan Dunn in a statement. “I commend Mayor Bill Allison and Executive Dow Constantine for negotiating an agreement that satisfies the interests of both the city of Maple Valley and the County.”

Alternative 3 would add 1,500 homes and 850,000 square feet of commercial development. Both Alternatives 2 and 3 would be master planned developments. The Area Council identified impacts to the communities, primarily through increased traffic, and potential impacts to the Tahoma School District. In particular, assumptions made in the transportation assessment were said to be unrealistic—like the expansion of state Route 516 with no plan or funding identified, and full buildout and mitigation of the Black Diamond MPDs.
portation committee has initiated a project to review King County roads funding and usage to propose a model to ensure unincorporated area road infrastructure is sustainable. Currently, the largest component of funding for King County roads comes from property taxes levied on unincorporated area residents. However, these roads are used by both unincorporated area and city residents. County roads are suffering from increasing wear and tear without sufficient revenue streams to maintain them from all users. This effort includes representatives from both the Four Creeks and Upper Bear Creek unincorporated area councils.

O Q U O T E O F N O T E : It’s a brilliant surface in that sunlight. The horizon seems quite close to you becasue the curvature is so much more pronounced than here on Earth. It’s an interesting place. I recommend it.” Neil Armstrong describing the moon
Welcome to my love of science BY ALEXANDER LINK For the Reporter
What could possibly persuade someone to devote nine years of his life to astrophysics? As it turns out, Neil Armstrong lit the first spark in my search for a passion. In third grade I had to choose an interesting, notable figure and assemble a trifold display discussing him, among other things. I spent nearly a week considering the dazzling array of interesting people who contributed to the betterment of humanity. There were several obvious choices — Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Theresa, Benjamin Franklin, and Albert Einstein all made their appearance, but I was looking for someone who contributed both socially and scientifically. After a dozen hours considering my possibilities, I chose to select Neil Armstrong. I learned a great deal about Neil Armstrong and his work uniting a country, furthering science, and ending the decade spanning scientific feud between the USA and USSR with a single monumental step. My admiration for Armstrong has never faltered for several reasons, including his large role in sparking my interest in his field. My assignment ended in November of 2004, but to this day I have held and fostered an interest in all things science, but especially astronomy. In order to satiate my ever growing fascination, I read a wide variety of books covering atomics, nucleonic physics, Einsteinian Mechanics, Quantum physics and yes, astrophysics. From Charles Darwin’s “On the Origin of Species” to Stephen Hawking’s “A Brief History of Time,” I have been quite busy learning everything I can about the universe in which we all live. The more I learn, however, the greater my interest in the subject…and in someone with which to share all that I have learned over time. It is for the former reason that I have chosen to
pursue astrophysics, and for the latter that I have chosen to share this with you. While my largest interest, astronomy is not my only interest. I have been with the Tahoma Robotics Team since 2010, serving on both the junior and high school robotics teams. During this time I have learned a great deal about mechanical engineering, including the use of a CAD program called inventor and a Fabrication Interface, a program which takes a CAD file and translates it into instructions allowing a machine to cut metal in the shape of the CAD program. If I made a chair in CAD, this program would tell a mill how to cut the chair. Once done, it simply takes the push of a button to make this chair a reality. This year I plan to learn programming, a skill which is both useful to the team and may well be useful later in life. I am also on the Tahoma Math Team, where I serve as vice president and teacher coordinator.
This year, we hope to attend nationals in Florida, and are taking a more competitive approach this year, which I am greatly looking forward to. On the rare occasion when I get free time, I often spend it doing community service — I spent almost 100 hours at the Maple Valley Food Bank over the summer — writing science fiction stories, and, naturally reading more scientific works. I also had the opportunity to read Hyperspace by Machio Kaku over the summer. I hope you enjoy reading what I have to say as I am certainly excited to share it with you!

Dear Maple Valley Community, As we approach an important election I’d like to share a story of what happened in the first two weeks of school for my classroom. But first here is a little about myself. I am Gracie B.W. I go to Lake Wilderness as a fourth grader in Mrs. Turian’s class. I love to read and write. I wake up every morning excited to go to school — but not one with distractions. One time my teacher was reading a book and the heater started squealing. It was very annoying. Mrs. Turian went over, made a fist and slammed it against the heater. She told us the janitor said to do that. It didn’t stop but at least it got quieter. It continued to bug my class. It was like a little whistle at the back of your head and it didn’t matter how quiet it was but it was all you could think about. It distracted you until you got away from it. Some kids went to the carpet to get

Our city has grown exponentially because it’s a great place to live. New neighborhoods continue to pop up in and around our city. If you look at real estate listings for Maple Valley, most will use Tahoma School District as a major selling point in their descriptions. Families don’t move to Maple Valley because we have a lot of job growth — they move here because they want to raise their children in a safe, family-friendly environment that has an award winning school district. Our city has been chosen twice as one of the best places to raise a family, once in 2011 by Family Circle magazine and again in 2013 by Bloomsberg Businessweek. This is how Bloomsberg Businessweek made their decisions: “For those interested in small-town living, Bloomberg Businessweek and Bloomberg Rankings evaluated more than 3,200 places nationwide with populations from 5,000 to 50,000.

If it’s not clear from the above paragraph, supporting our schools helps our home values. If our school district has to go to rotating schedules and year-round school, I can only imagine our home values will plummet. People will choose to go to communities that support their schools. I know many will use the argument that the state should be paying for these things, but, the fact is, the state doesn’t have the money. We have to pass levies in Tahoma to just have enough money to keep the schools running how they do now. These are the facts. For the owner of a home valued at $300,000 by King County, the bond measure would cost an additional $36.75 per month. That is less than the cost of buying a coffee at Starbucks five days a week for a month. So, for the price of a cup of coffee per day, we can make our schools better and safer. I think that is a worthwhile investment. Let’s show Tahoma that Maple Valley citizens appreciate the work they do with our kids and for our community. Let’s show the state that our city will stand up and support our kids and schools. Let’s stand up and vote yes in November.
Sincerely, Kelly Harned Maple Valley Resident
Development will significantly impact roads Two letters in the Sept. 13 issue expressed opposing views very nicely and illustrate why this race for mayor is so important to more than Black Diamond residents. It’s easy to see the underlying motives of those who support Mayor Olness and YarrowBay. They are part of the crowd who continuously chant, “growth is inevitable” and, “you can’t stop progress,” etc. The other group is saying, “not so fast” and, “is this really progress or just more relentless jammed-together-all-the-same-stick-and-wood, blandcolored housing development?” Here is my answer: what you do in Black Diamond will have a very significant negative impact on Highway 169, Kent-Kangley, Ravensdale-Hobart Road and many others. You know this, we all know this. So why not try to prevent a big problem when everyone sees it? Good luck to those of you who are willing to fight hard against the forces of greed who rape our land, take the money and leave us with all the problems.

Covington needs sustainable plan As a longtime citizen and taxpayer in Covington I was dismayed to find out the city wanted to add another position in the parks department. Our current parks director makes over $125,000 in wages and benefits. It would seem he could find the time to do the parks planning since we have such a small number of parks as he noted in his newspaper article. The current parks operation budget, including the aquatic center, is even greater than the money spent on the streets. Dependence on state or federal grants shows we are not headed in the right direction. We need to change to a more sustainable plan for the future.

Black Diamond doesn’t have problems Recently I read that two former Black Diamond City Council members joined the incumbent mayor in claiming that the YarrowBay development will bring in tax revenue to magically fix Black Diamond’s (alleged) problems. First of all, I love Black Diamond. I grew up here and though I have lived in and traveled on five continents, I chose to return. Second, we do not have major problems. And if we did, they would not be fixed by a huge corporation with no vested interest in the lives of long term residents who are deeply attached to a unique and lovely city. Yet the mayor and the former council members not only accept YarrowBay’s faulty fiscal analysis, but believe that only money matters. YarrowBay is a complex scheme of limited liability corporations owned by venture capitalists. The corporation projected the rosiest possible future balance sheet for the city but the sources of income needed to create that income are composed largely of fantasies. YarrowBay projected huge retail revenue despite the fact that there is no evidence to suggest any substantial retail development will happen within the next 10 years. They suggest that private HOAs will own streets and maintain them. Not only is it a bad idea to have private corporations own public infrastructure, in reality the city will be the entity responsible for maintenance. The YarrowBay development is not a done deal. There are many permits and conditions and checkpoints that — thanks to the public — must still be reviewed and approved. Some of these could dramatically change YarrowBay’s plans and keep the power of the city with its citizens. Old politicians who approved the plan want to blindly stick by their original poor decision, so they say there is nothing that can be done to change the future. But note this well, if they actually believed Yarrow Bay’s plans were final and permanent, they would not care who wins the next election. Cities must always make tough budget decisions and these should certainly not be made based on promises without potential. The data could not be clearer that the new residential YarrowBay development will cost the city more to provide services — road maintenance, an increased police presence, park maintenance — than the residential tax it could collect. I will not vote for anyone who will sell us out. I support politicians who will figure out the budget in a way that does not discount our citizens and who will work to save our beautiful and peaceful city. Anyone who believes the same should not even consider re-electing the incumbent mayor, a politician who has disregarded Black Diamond’s integrity time after time, then pointed fingers at the council in an ongoing and vicious political smear game. I support Dave Gordon for Mayor and Erika Morgan for election to the Black Diamond City Council.

indeed it resulted in 96 mandatory conditions being added to this project. The Hearing Examiner goes to great length in his decision to say the citizen’s efforts in bringing about these conditions have “greatly improved the project.” These are condition that the Mayor’s staff were not requiring the developer to assume responsibility or pay for prior to the appeal. In addition, Mr. Boston states that this is a “done deal.” Again, unless he is psychic that is not a known fact. Throughout the legal proceedings both YarrowBay and the city have maintained that the Environmental Impact Statement on these projects was performed as a “programatic EIS.” This type of EIS has a much lower level of detail and analysis than a project level EIS. Before the Washington state Appellate Court Division I Sept. 11, Justice Gross says, “This is not a case about whether the city council had the authority to approve this project, but whether they had adequate information on the impacts to base that decision on and so the EIS is foundational to the issue.” When Nancy Rogers, attorney for YarrowBay speaking for both the developer and the city in this hearing, was asked whether the EIS was programmatic or project specific she replies that is is both ... and that it is a “hybrid.” [ more LETTERS page 11]

New Tahoma assistant principal finds calling at high school Doug Burnham is on his second stint working in the Tahoma School District, this time as an assistant principal at Tahoma High School. Burnham, who has spent 15 years in education working at middle schools, including teaching technology classes at Tahoma Middle School and Cedar River Middle School, said in his first few weeks at Tahoma High he’s fitting right in. “I’m a little unique in that all my experience has been at the middle school level, but my first few weeks here I feel like I’ve missed my calling,” Burnham said. “I love it here. I love the conversations you can have with kids, they get my jokes.”
Community News and Notes RESULTS OF THE DRIVE SOBER OR GET PULLED OVER CAMPAIGN IN KING COUNTY ANNOUNCED The results are in from the recent Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over DUI enforcement campaign conducted from Aug. 16 through Sept. 2. In King County, preliminary numbers show that 292 motorists were stopped and arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Statewide, law enforcement officers arrested 1,420 drivers for DUI. Last year in King County during the same time period, officers on routine and extra patrols arrested
374 people for DUI. In King County, the cities of Auburn, Bellevue, Black Diamond, Burien, Clyde Hill, Covington, Des Moines, Duvall, Enumclaw, Federal Way, Issaquah, Kent, Kirkland, Maple Valley, Mercer Island, Newcastle, North Bend, Port of Seattle, Redmond, Renton, Sammamish, Seatac, Seattle, Snoqualmie, Tukwila and Woodinville Police Departments and the Washington State Patrol participated in the extra DUI patrols, with the support of the King County Target Zero Task Force. The extra patrols were funded by a grant from the Washington Traffic Safety Commission.
“Just seeing that lightbulb go off in a kid’s head and you know that they got something and you are able to make a difference in their life,” Burnham said. “Just helping kids, in general, succeed makes me really happy.” Burnham taught in the Tahoma School District for five years, during which time he earned his masters degree in educational administration from Central. After that Burnham worked in the Enumclaw School District as dean of students and most recently as an assistant principal at Rainier Middle School in the Auburn School District. “I kind of feel like I get to come home, after teaching here for a few years,” Burnham said of coming back to Tahoma. “Couldn’t pick a better district to come back to. I was beyond excited
when I saw the opening … I already taught here, I was already familiar with the high expectations of the district and the mission of the district. Overall it’s an outstanding school district and when there was an opportunity it was automatic that I had to apply. The way that I think falls right in line with their beliefs and core systems.” Outside of school Burnham developed a passion for photography, something he taught himself in order to teach his technology students. “I was teaching a computer class and one of the things they wanted me to teach was Photoshop and I thought, ‘man, this would be a cool thing the kids would enjoy learning,’ but the only problem was that I didn’t know how to use it,” Burnham said. “So
that’s when I got started and taught myself photography. I got started kind of backwards.” Burnham also said he enjoys traveling and coaching wrestling. He cited his favorite books as “A Walk in the Woods” by Bill Bryson and “Influencer” by Kerry Patterson and Joseph Grenny. “’A Walk in the Woods’ reminds me that I need to get out and enjoy life,” Burnham said. “’Influencer’ allows you to understand change and affect change.” This year Burnham will be overseeing sophomore students as well as the math, special education, art, and music departments at Tahoma High. Burnham said that this year he’ll be focusing on the shift from middle school to high school and on getting to know people in the

The Maple Valley Youth Symphony Orchestra is adding two new programs to the list of music programs for the 2012-2013 season to serve more students’ needs. Jam Club is designed especially for middle school to high school aged students with special needs. String Academy, a class with two levels to help students develop the skills and confidence needed to play in a larger orchestra setting, is another new offering. Jam Club is a music therapy based music education program designed by MVYSO’s own music therapist and recreation therapist. Students will work on social goals as well as musical goals with their cognitive and physical abilities in mind. “It is so exciting to get to combine our passions for music and our love of special needs students,” said Elisa Lewis, MVYSO’s executive director. MVYSO has hired Board Certified Music Therapist Janea Christensen
district and the district’s systems and how change happens in those systems. For Burnham it’s the desire to help kids that motivates him to be an educator and administrator. “The ability to affect more kids is the main reason behind it (to become an administrator),” Burnham said. “As a teacher you’re going to be connecting with the kids in our class, but as an administration there’s an opportunity, at some point, to help every kid.”

String Academy will have two levels, one for kindergarten through third grade students who have had about a year of string playing experience. Students will learn the techniques and skills necessary to play with a larger group confidently. This class will be taught by Emily Maulden who has a degree in violin performance and has worked for MVYSO for two years. The second group is for older students who have been trained in the Suzuki Method, but are needing to hone their music reading skills so that they can play confidently in a large group, such as MVYSO’s Jr. Symphony or Symphony. This class is designed to meet them at their Suzuki level as develop their reading skills. Cherlyn Johnson, who has a master’s degree in violin performance will be teaching this group which will start Sept. 31. Registration is now open for these and all of MVYSO’s programs.

When Burnham started college at Central Washington University in Ellensburg he wasn’t sure what he wanted to get a degree in but found what he loved when he took an elective. “When I started my college career I took an education course, and part of that course was — it was just kind of random that I even tried it — part of that course was to get out into schools for a certain number of hours, and I just fell in love with it from the get go,” Burnham said. Burnham spent time as an AmeriCorps volunteer where he worked in classrooms teaching students to read. That experience led to Burnham’s first job as a paraeducator in the Kent School District. What Burnham said he loves most about being in education is helping kids.

Fall is time to reseed, renovate and restore your lawn what is causing the problem now is the time to dig down past the grass roots to remove large boulders or clay deposits. 2. Once the damaged turf is removed, spread topsoil over the bare area and mix this with the top six inches of soil. 3. Now make a template by laying newspaper over the bare spot and tracing the outline of how much new sod you will need to fill the space. 4. Next, go on the hunt for some fine looking sod in a back corner or near a garden bed you plan to widen or enlarge. Usually gardeners will patch a front yard bare spot by taking Marianne Binetti

Fall is for planting but also for lawn renovation. September is a good month to reseed, renovate and restore a summer-weary lawn. You can also use the patch method to repair just a few bare or brown areas of an otherwise fine-looking lawn. Sometimes dead patches appear from doggy deposits or fertilizer burns, usually when a fully-open spreader allows too much nitrogen to fall onto the grass in one spot. To do a perfect patch job on a section of damaged lawn follow these steps: 1. First dig out the dead, yellow or badly damaged turf. If you do not know
sod from an area that is less often seen in the backyard. 5. Lay the newspaper template on top of the healthy sod and cut out the shape you need using a shovel or serrated rootpruning tool. Set this newly cut sod onto a waiting tarp. 6. Drag the tarp to the bare spot, slide in the newly-cut sod and you will have a perfect fit and almost instant gratification. 7. Now go back to the spot where you robbed the sod and reseed that area. It will take longer to fill in but by choosing a less visible or high traffic area to borrow some sod you’ll be more patient with the grow-in. To renovate your entire lawn this fall you can follow these steps: 1. Aerate using a core aerator and leave the plugs

Wait until spring then celebrate that your grass is greener on your side of the fence.

Adding 2 to 3 inches of topsoil is even better. Use the back of the rake or rent a large contractors rake to level the surface and fill in the lawn spots. A level lawn will not only look better but be easier to mow. 3. Let the topsoil settle for a couple of days, then add a starter fertilizer and level again, filling in any low spots that settled. 4.

Anime conventions and the permanent chaperone are other moms who rotate through these conventions, but I am at all of them. I think it is partly because when I am chaperoning, I make sure no one gets too hungry or dehydrated on my watch. I bring what I fondly refer to as “the snack trough,” which is a large rolling suitcase full of nutritious food and water for lunch and snacks. Then I sit back and wait for “drive-by eatings.” The kids show up, insist they Gretchen Leigh
Living with Gleigh
I have been the mom voted mostly likely to say yes by my youngest daughter and her friends. It’s not that I’m a pushover, but when I tell them, “I’ll think about it,” I do actually think about it. I’m referring mostly to the anime conventions in which I seem to be the permanently installed chaperone (anime is Japanese style cartoons and the conventions are events where people dress up as characters in the cartoon). Sure, there

aren’t hungry, I insist they eat something and before they know it, they realize they are famished and wolf down the food. I have perfected the “snack trough” over the years of conventions. When my daughter was recovering from having her wisdom teeth pulled during spring break last April, she chose that quiet time with me to ask if I would take her and her friends to a newly discovered convention in Vancouver, WA over Labor Day weekend. Since I like to make a big deal out of my kids’ 16th birthdays, I had the brilliant idea of making it her 16th birthday party with her friends. So I booked the hotel. Then I had the logistics to figure out. My car isn’t big enough to carry more than five people and we had six, including me. I began
to call other parents to help transport them. The first mom I called was willing, although I kind of felt she was railroaded by her daughter. Since the occasion was to mark my daughter’s 16th birthday, I really wanted to have a little dinner party for her one evening. I had no space to pack dinner food in the cars and no way to cook anything. My sister, who lives in that area, saved me. She and her roommate planned a hot dinner and cake for the girls and brought it to the hotel, in which we used their breakfast room for the event. As with many events in my life, I agree to them so far in advance, it doesn’t occur to me the time will actually arrive. With Labor Day weekend fast approaching, it hadn’t sunk in that it was actually going to
happen until the Thursday before we were supposed to leave. I asked myself what I had gotten myself into. It wasn’t the drive, it wasn’t the event, but I had agreed to chaperone five teenage girls to an anime convention in a different city by myself. The other mom dropped us off and headed off to the coast. They are good kids, so I wasn’t worried about them being out of control, but still, what was I thinking? The moment they saw the first person dressed in costume, they began to squeal. After the dinner party the first evening, the girls discovered the pool at the hotel. I heard one of them say, “This is the most fun I’ve had all day!” Really? The most fun all day? I knew she didn’t mean it the way it sounded; it was

that the city committed to the project will come from the city’s real estate excise tax and park development funds. “I think, if you’re serious about entertaining this proposal, you have to create a revenue stream,” City Manager David Johnston told the council. “We’re going to need revenue sources we don’t have right now.” In a presentation on the city budget by Shawn Hunstock, the city’s finance director, at the same meeting, four potential revenue streams were identified: maximizing property taxes, maximizing utility taxes, implementing a business and occupation tax, and other taxes and fees. The
total estimated revenue potential from those revenue streams is approximately $1.46 million annually. Council discussed the possibility of running a bond measure to support parks or to do a councilmanic bond, which wouldn’t require voter approval. Payments on councilmanic bonds would come from the city’s general revenue fund without raising property taxes. The amount of debt in bonds a city can carry is limited by law to 7.5 percent of the taxable value of the property within the city. Within that, General Purpose bonds are limited to 2.5 percent, and councilmanic bonds to 1.5 percent of the
just culminating joy of the whole day. The weekend was a huge success and all the girls were very grateful. I mentioned to them that soon they would be old enough to go without me. They unanimously agreed to always bring me along. After all, someone has to mom the snack trough.
Gretchen Leigh is a stayat-home mom who lives in Covington. She can be found momming the snack trough at an anime convention near you.

General Purpose bonds, according to the city’s comprehensive plan. “Parks and fields are highly important,” said Councilwoman Erin Weaver at the meeting. “I fully support more fields, but at what cost?” Weaver said she would favor a voted bond to pay for parks, to which Councilwoman Johnson concurred. “We’ve got to know where the money is coming from before we make a commitment to get involved,” Johnson said.
The tour is scheduled to reach at least 30 schools along the west coast, and all schools are expected to earn $2,000 to $10,000 through the program.

[ GOALS from page 1] “This year we really do have reason to celebrate,� Harto said. “We know because we made some really careful, deliberate decisions at the front of the last four years. We can now celebrate because the economic climate has changed — we can feel it, we know it and we’re moving with it.� Harto lauded the efforts of the 47th District legislators Rep. Pat Sullivan, State Sen. Joe Fain and Rep. Mark Hargrove to find money in the budget for city projects. At the Sept. 10 City Council meeting, Harto said, the legislators told the elected officials they recognized a sense of community and collaborative effort toward a common vision which is not found in every city. Harto celebrated the completion of the first phase of Covington Community Park. She also pointed to the transportation benefit district the City Council created earlier this year in an effort to generate more revenue. “No matter who we surveyed, the No. 1 topic was transportation,� Harto said. “We’re going to be seeking funding in November to help take care of those transportation projects and the transportation infrastructure that we have.� Voters will be asked to approve a sales tax increase from 8.6 percent to 8.8 percent to fill the coffers of the city’s street fund. If approved it could generate as much as $750,000 a year. At this point the street fund is expected to be short $56,000 this year. The city’s general fund, which is also tight, subsidizes the street fund at $250,000 a year. A significant chunk of the city’s annual $9 million budget, about $3 million, goes to Covington’s police contract with the King County Sheriff ’s Office. Because money is shifted regularly from the general fund to the street fund to cover road maintenance programs Covington has not added to its police force despite the fact it has fewer officers on average than other contract cities in the county. Among the six goals Matheson addressed during the state of the city presentation was municipal services, which includes the efforts to create a TBD to bolster the street fund, as well as highlighted plans to move forward with a variety of projects, work on the city’s comprehensive plan

Scores at Tahoma High dipped slightly on the HSPE in 2013, with 95.9 percent of students passing the reading section, down from 96.4 percent in 2012, and 94.8 percent on the writing section, down from 97.6 percent in 2012. At Kentlake the opposite happened with small gains in students who passed the HSPE. In 2013 83.4 percent of Kentlake students passed the reading section, up from 78.3 percent in 2012, and 87.3 percent passed the writing section, up from 85.9 percent in 2012.

update planned for 2014, the city’s unique and fruitful partnerships with neighboring cities Black Diamond and Maple Valley as well as the fact the state auditor’s office looked over Covington’s books and there were no issues raised during the annual audit. “Our vision, mission and goals serve as guiding principles for our city,� Matheson said. “As we continue to evolve and progress we can always look to the council goals to confirm we are on the right path to achieve our vision.� The first goal Matheson talked about related to the city’s plan for its town center, followed by economic development, services for youth and families, neighborhoods, municipal services and customer service. Matheson pointed to the work done so far on the Hawk Property subarea plan as well as the efforts by the Covington Economic Development Council in partnership with the Chamber of Commerce on a branding campaign. As far as youth and family services, Matheson said, elected officials and city staff are pleased with the Covington Days festival in July which was planned in about four months but thanks to hard work by staff led to a significant increase in attendance, among other highlights. Additionally the second annual Covington Summer Concert Series saw its attendance double and Covington KidsFest was popular even among families from outside of the city. Finally attendance at the Covington Aquatic Center’s eight special events have increased by 25 percent from 2012 to this year. Covington Community Park was a significant accomplishment in the neighborhoods category. “As many of you know, this park has been a long, long

time in the making,� Matheson said. “We just received a legislative grant of $2.1 million to start work on phase two.� Plus the soccer field just opened up to play which is the culmination of a year-long process to plant and grow the grass. Beyond the park, Matheson said, the city worked to get a variety of other neighborhood projects taken care of and staff are now seeking out grants for the bridge and other elements in need of work at Jenkins Creek Park. He also pointed the high level of engagement at seven different neighborhood gatherings in early August for National Night Out. As far as customer service, a survey conducted during the spring showed that an overwhelming number of residents who responded gave the city As and Bs, Matheson said. The staff, however, is always looking to improve. To that end upgraded technology was put in place recently which has moved field reports from pen and paper to electronic means which helped make the work more efficient. Overall, Matheson said, the city made significant progress in the past year and will continue to work toward achieving other goals in the coming year and beyond. “It’s very easy for anyone, for us to profess a mission, vision and goals,� Matheson said. “We experience roadblocks often, so we approach everything we do with our thinking caps on. Our vision is to achieve an unmatched quality of life but we’re fortunate to have unmatched individuals to accomplish that.�

Kids need help making informed food choices
Health care reform questions answered Washington State Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler answers a commonly asked question about healthcare reform. : Will there be health care advocates for people who are not able to understand the complexities of the health care process?

it,” he added, suggesting that Campbell soup can bridge that gap. I’m not at all opposed to serving children (or adults) soup, although I would always recommend made-from-scratch versions over processed ones. But when there is not enough time for elaborate meal preparations, opening a can of condensed chicken noodle or tomato soup can be a reasonable substitute. What I have a problem with, however, not only as a dietitian and health counselor but also as a mother and grandmother, is the idea that children can make consciously healthy food choices for and by themselves. Allowing kids to be in charge of their diet, especially in an unsupervised manner, is a recipe for disaster. The fact is that at an age when their growing bodies and minds need proper nourishment the most, too many youngsters already begin to acquire poor eating habits that often lay the groundwork for lifelong health problems. Bombarded with snack food ads on daytime television and bribed by fast food chains with toys and entertainment, many children believe that the best foods are those endorsed by their favorite cartoon characters and action heroes. Regardless of taste or how they make them feel, those are the ones they choose, those are the ones they nag their parents about. What irks me the most is the whole concept of playing tricks with young minds.
COMMENTARY
Campbell Soup Company, the giant maker of condensed soups and other ready-to-eat products, has a new advertisement out, titled the “Wisest Kid in the Whole World.” The just released campaign depicts a young boy (with long facial hair, no less), clad in Tibetan monk-style clothing and seated in a meditative position while sucking on a circular string of noodles that comes out of a bowl placed next to one of Campbell’s iconic soup cans. The kid knows what he’s doing: “When the mouth slurps, the bellysmiles,” say the captions below. He’s having fun – and he is doing something good for his nutritional health. There is wisdom in eating this product. The underlying message, of course, is this: Kids are smart enough to know what’s good for them and therefore should take the lead when it comes to stocking the pantry. Parents, towards whom the ad is really directed, are well advised to take the young guru’s recommendations to heart and follow suit. “Who knows more about what kids like than kids?” said Ed Carolan, president for national retail at Campbell, when asked about the campaign in an interview with the New York Times. “Moms and dads still struggle with what we call the real-time dilemma at mealtime: they want to be happy about what their kids eat, but the kids have to like

Children, wise ones or not so wise ones, should never be put in a position where they, even on rare occasions, are responsible for their own wellbeing. Yes, it can be fun to make a grocery list or roam the supermarket aisles together as a family where everyone can make a wish. But parents should never derelict their duty of supervision and guidance, especially in matters of health and nutrition. It is, and will always be, highly objectionable when outsiders like food manufacturers, restaurateurs and advertisers attempt to interfere with that parental role by sending out messages that say: You are old enough to decide for yourself – and here is what we want you to choose. Children develop healthy as well as unhealthy eating habits early on by following the example of others, at first their parents and older siblings, later their peers and the media. By the time they reach adolescence, parental influence vanishes. If solid foundations have not been laid by then, it will be hard to make corrections for many years to come. That is the reason why parental authority cannot and must not be delegated, not even to the wisest kid on the planet.

No one wants to hear that he or she has high blood pressure. But, interestingly, low blood pressure can also be bad for your health for a variety of reasons. Most recently, a link was discovered between low blood pressure and brain function. Low blood pressure has been linked to a higher risk of brain atrophy, which is the death of brain cells or of the connections that exist between the brain cells. Normal, healthy blood pressure for adults is considered to be around 120/80. The systolic, or top, number measures the pressure of the blood in the arteries, and the diastolic, or bottom, is concerned with the pressure between heartbeats. A diastolic number under 70 is considered low. As long as you’re not experiencing symptoms of low blood pressure, there is no need for concern. Most health care providers consider chronically low blood pressure dangerous only if it causes noticeable signs and symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, unusual thirst, blurred vision, lack of concentration, nausea, fatigue, depression, and cold, clammy skin. To schedule an appointment at Southlake Clinic, please call (253) 395-1972. Our Covington clinic is located at 27005 168th Place SE.

NAME CHANGE APPROVED FOR FIRE DISTRICT 44
HEART ATTACK SURVIVAL RATE CONTINUES TO CLIMB IN KING COUNTY
The Metropolitan King County Council has given unanimous approval to officially rename Fire District 44 as Mountain View Fire and Rescue. “Officially changing the name from Fire District 44 to Mountain View Fire and Rescue has been a long time in coming,” said Councilman Reagan Dunn. “Mountain View Fire and Rescue does an outstanding job serving the residents of the district and I am happy to support this legislation per the request of their board of commissioners.” The proposal to change the name of Fire District 44 was first proposed in June of this year by the Commissioners of the District. “We protect 70 square miles serving Auburn, Kent, Black Diamond and Enumclaw addresses,” said District Chief Greg Smith. “Although we have been using the name Mountain View for twenty years, this will now make that
The survival rate from cardiac arrest in King County has reached an all-time high of 57 percent, according to a new report released by King County Executive Dow Constantine. Most other parts of the nation have survival rates that hover around 10 percent. “People are alive today in King County who would not have survived in most other places in the country,” said Executive Constantine. “Our EMS/Medic One system delivers rapid, high-quality critical care wherever you are.” The Emergency Medical Services/Medic One 2013 Annual Report highlights this achievement and other activities that place this EMS/Medic One system among the world’s best. Executive Constantine has sent the report to the Metropolitan King County Council.
September 20, 2013 [11]
In 2012, the EMS system in King County responded to 172,700 calls to 911, including 48,010 for Advanced Life Support, the most serious or life-threatening injuries and illnesses. The average medic unit response time stayed steady at 7.5 minutes. “Survival from cardiac arrest is the signature of quality for any EMS/Medic One system, and we continue to set the standard,” said Dr. David Fleming, Director and Health Officer for Public Health – Seattle & King County. King County’s cardiac survival rate has increased from an above-average 27 percent in 2002 to 57 percent today. The King County EMS/Medic One system is managed by the Emergency Medical Services Division of Public Health – Seattle & King County, and relies on a close partnership of thousands of professionals with fire departments, paramedic agencies, EMS dispatch centers, and hospitals to provide emergency care and save lives. The full EMS 2013 Annual Report is available at www.kingcounty.gov/ health/ems.
[ LETTERS from page 5] The facts in the matter have not changed so one must ask for what reason the story from that side suddenly has. Another justice is heard to say that there is no such thing as a hybrid. That decision will be months in coming but as you can hear recent finding in the Washington State Appellate Court Division III maintain that failure to address environmental impacts in an EIS can not be glossed over with reference to any other document, especially if they have not been incorporated into the EIS. The Hearing Examiner’s findings on the EIS said, “vital information” was left out regarding the impacts to Lake Sawyer by this massive development. The city and YarrowBay have attempted to say that any shortcomings would be addressed by the Lake Sawyer Management Plan. Not only does the Hearing Examiner state that the Lake Sawyer Management Plan has its own errors and shortcomings, neither the city nor YarrowBay incorporated this document into their faulty EIS. Growth is not paying for growth. YarrowBay is not being made to pay for the seven schools that will be required for this development, that expense has been dumped on the taxpayers of the Enumclaw School District via the tri-party agreement that Mr. Boston — who resides in the Kent School District — approved. It is unlikely ESD taxpayers will ever approve levies for the estimated $270 million those schools will cost to build. The appeal of Preliminary Plat 1A by citizens is the only reason the expense of the Rock Creek Bridge — 100 years old — being brought into a usable condition for the traffic and pedestrian traffic that will be created by their “walkable schools” will be borne by the developer and not the citizens. As for the water, here is the true history of that humongous expense. The problem that is causing water rate increases came about in 2007. The Tacoma agreement provided that the city could purchase the rights to an additional 500,000 gallons per day. The city did so in May 2007 at a cost of $3,407,063. See attached Resolution 07-024. This purchase was pure speculation on the part of the city. They erroneously assumed that growth would be so great as to require more water than our springs could provide. And council members Mike Cline, Geoff Bowie and Rebecca Olness voted for a contract that obligated the city to pay for this water, not the developer who would bring the growth. So much for their actions adhering to the promise that growth will pay for growth. Then Councilwoman Olness seconded the motion to authorize the additional purchase even though there does not appear to have been any need for the additional capacity nor any rational reason to incur such a large debt. Since incurring the $3 million debt previous City Councils and the City Administrations did not increase rates sufficient to service the debt. The current City Council must now take the unpopular but necessary steps to keep the water fund solvent. It is clear that our past administrations have failed to represent the majority of the taxpayers in a fiscally responsible manner in regard to this “planned growth” which does not appear “planned” and has not resulted in growth of anything but debt and division to date. Vote Dave Gordon, Carol Benson, Janie Edelman and Erika Morgan for informed and responsible choices for our future.

These were among the best pieces as selected by their peers. Enjoy!
MY MODERN FAMILY By Tara Ferguson There are many TV shows today trying to reflect what the average modern family is like, but unless you have been in one you don’t understand what it’s really like. Some current modern families are mixed racial families, blended families, gay families, different aged parents, and many more. Here is a look into my modern family. My family started out as a traditional family but when I was three years old it changed. My parents got divorced because my dad came to terms that he is gay. It was a hard transition for my two older sisters who were 6 and 9-years-old at the time but for me thats just what I’ve known my whole life. I have no recollection of my parents being together or having family events with them being at each others side. My very first memories are of moving into an apartment with my mom and two sisters after the divorce and helping my dad move into his new house with his boyfriend. When people hear stories like that they can’t believe what they hear. They think it’s
very strange and don’t quite understand how that happened. When my dad told my mom he was gay and they got divorced my mom couldn’t believe or understand what happened, but when she talked to other people it ended up that many other families have had the same experience. Due to the fact that I have no recollection of my parents being together, for me, my whole life I’ve grown up with my dad being gay. When I was little to me there was no difference between my family and other families. Of course I knew there weren’t a lot of other kids with gay parents but I still had a mom and a dad, so to me it was like another divorced family. When I was little I didn’t talk about it much but as the years went on I started telling some close friends. As a little kid it was very hard to make friends who were accepting of it. I remember when one girl wouldn’t be my friend because her parents told her that it’s not right to be gay and that she couldn’t be my friend just because of my dad being gay. That made growing up very difficult because I felt like it was my fault that some people wouldn’t be my friend due to my dad being gay. Furthermore, it was hard for my dads family to understand and figure out how to think about it. His only real blood brother stopped talking to him and would not let his kid be around my dad thinking that my dad would “turn them gay.” That caused me to not get to know my family really well because I only saw them a few times. I have
not seen my uncle since I was eight years old and that was at my grandmas funeral. I know that the reason I never see my uncle and I haven’t gotten to know him is because he doesn’t support my dad being gay, but it feels like he didn’t care about me or my sisters and that he never wanted a relationship with us. At times I wonder, why me? Why did I have to be the girl with the gay dad? All the time I think about what it would be like if my parents were still together, or if my dad wasn’t gay. But when I really think about it I’m glad my dad is gay and that my family is the way that it is. Of course I don’t like that it’s hard to have a gay dad due to the fact people judge me for it. But I love my dad and I wouldn’t want to change him or anything that I’ve gone through due to him being gay because that has taught me to not judge on where people come from and who they are and that has made me the person I am today.
MY TRUST IN SAWDUST By Kaitlin Ellsworth My parents taught me growing up to respect other people’s decisions, whether I agreed with it or not. Whether someone gets a piece of body art that I personally don’t like isn’t something I can change. All I can do is treat them the same way I would want someone to treat me. With respect. Of course, maybe my parents would have had a different point of view if my uncle hadn’t become a tattoo artist. His work blows me away every time I see a piece; it’s hard to not appreciate every piece. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t tattoos that I personally wouldn’t get, but that doesn’t mean that they are bad tattoos. There is no such thing as a bad tattoo. There are only different tattoos, and each is beautiful to someone or everyone. My uncle taught me to be myself, even if people don’t agree with it. Many people
told him he wouldn’t make it as a tattoo artist. “That isn’t a job! How will you support your children or your wife?” The funny thing is, my uncle does a fantastic job at every piece that he creates. He knows that it’s permanent, and that it means something to that person, but it also means something to him. Each tattoo he does represents how he overcame the dirty looks and the snide comments about what he wanted to do for work. Honestly, I can’t see my uncle doing anything else. Picturing him behind a desk and typing away on a computer for hours every day makes me laugh. That’s not for him — he was made to do tattoos. So, he opened his own shop in Grover Beach called Sink or Swim Tattoo. It is probably the coolest place I’ve ever been to. It stands for his love for tattoos and his hope for society to finally appreciate them as much as every tattoo artist does. I don’t really know how he got his name Sawdust, but I definitely hope I hear that story sometime. So, not only is my uncle, in my opinion, the best tattoo artist, but he’s an amazing father to his little girl, Berlyn and boy, Dashiel, and a wonderful husband to his wife, Larella. I really couldn’t ask for a cooler family. I’m thankful to have such a supportive group that are always there. Take it from someone who has been around tattoos for as long as I can remember, tattoos are for those who are strong enough to bare their story on their skin. Some are too weak for it, some don’t have a story to tell, some prefer to tell their stories in other way, and that’s fine, but I speak for every serious tattoo artist when I say: what I do with my body is no one’s business but mine. Tattoos are for expressing a point; my point. Not yours, not anyone else’s, so stop worrying about my future and what I will do, because I will find a way, just like my uncle did.

Familiar faces for Kentwood volleyball Bil Caillier returns to coach a team with a trio of strong seniors leading the Conks BY ALEXANDRA BOLTON For the Reporter
Stepping into the disorienting mix of shouting, the hollow ring of a struck ball and the agonizing squeal of skin sliding across hardwood that proclaims a valiant dig attempt is to enter the fiercely competitive atmosphere that is typical of Kentwood volleyball’s daily practice. The Conqueror’s gym is also a place of high, yet grounded hopes for this year’s girls volleyball team. The team has a strong core of returners including three seniors that have been on varsity together since their freshmen year: Sarah Toeaina, Lauren Hackett, and Mele Halahuni. After three seasons away from Kentwood Bil Caillier returns as head coach. “I don’t want to be cliché, but it’s hard to avoid it,” Caillier said. “We want all those things like to win the league, to win a district title, to go to state, to win state. We want all those things, but I don’t think that’s what we use to measure ourselves. That’s just a
nice little benefit of getting really good.” Senior Sarah Toeaina agreed the team will try to take it one match at a time. Toeaina, who also played varsity basketball and track since she her freshman year at Kentwood, has the potential to be the first female 12 letter winner in Kentwood history. She is confident that the team’s unification and the positive energy at practice these first few weeks hold promise for the team as they start their journey. “We have been very outgoing these first few weeks because we have to get to know each other,” Toeaina said.”We are family on and off the court.” Personally, she is focusing on improving in a new position this season, moving from middle hitter to outside right and expanding her hitting prowess. While last year’s playoff loss to Auburn Riverside certainly remains fresh in the minds of the returners, Toeaina said the game will serve as a learning experience and motivation. Hackett said getting
bounced from the playoffs so soon was unexpected. “I didn’t think that could happen,” Hackett said. “We have a reputation that we need to keep going.” Finishing second in state two seasons ago certainly speaks of great potential for this program, but also of disappointment and a renewed sense of purpose this season. Hackett could be key in helping the team uphold a legacy of state appearances and maybe this year, victories. “I didn’t think of myself as a leader until I looked back and saw all the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors that were looking up to me,” Hackett said. “At first it was pressure, but I think the fact that Sarah and Mele have been on varsity all four years and we have grown up together has helped me. All the decisions we make, we work together.” Committed to play at California Baptist University after graduation, Hackett embodies Cailler’s coaching philosophy, which is oriented around improvement versus results. “The only reason I play volleyball is because it’s fun [ more VOLLEYBALL page 15 ]

Tahoma rolls over Bethel in week two BY KRIS HILL khill@maplevalleyreporter.com
R
oad games were no problem for Tahoma and Kentwood while the matchup at French Field for Kentlake against KentMeridian proved more troublesome as the Royals beat the Falcons for the second straight season.
TAHOMA ROLLS PAST BETHEL Defending state javelin champion Denham Patricelli loves football and in the first two games of the season, the Tahoma senior who sat out last season after undergoing surgery on his right elbow, caught six touchdowns including three in the first quarter in a 33-7 rout of Bethel Sept.
12 at Art Crate Stadium in Puyallup. He pulled in his first touchdown catch about halfway into the first quarter and had all three scores before the end of the period, hauling in the third one with 1 minute, 24 seconds on the clock. Patricelli caught four passes tallying 129 yards to go with the three scores. Quarterback Shane Nelson hit other targets, too, for the Bears on his way to a 16for-29 night with 295 yards along with four touchdowns. DeShon Williams pulled in four catches for 73 yards and a touchdown while Alex Jeric had four catches for 79 yards. Bryson Stubbles carried the ball 13 times for 108 yards and a score. On the defensive side

Meanwhile, senior running back Brandon Sytsma had a 6-yard touchdown scamper in the fourth quarter while Conks kicker Brandyn Bangsund put up three field goals on the night.

after the first score, the ball was fumbled on the Kentlake kick off return, with Kent-Meridian recovering on the Falcons’ 30 yard line. Malietufa got the ball on second and nine then ran 18 yards to the house to make it a 14-0 lead with 15 seconds left in the second quarter. Not even 90 seconds into the third quarter the snap sailed over the head of the Kent-Meridian kicker and out of the end zone, giving Kentlake the safety then the ball on the free kick. This moment fired up the Falcons who took the ball down the field and scored on a 16-yard run by Kaleb Smith which cut the lead to 14-9 with 9:31 left in the third. With 6:45 left in the third, after forcing KentMeridian to punt, Kentlake punctuated its next series with a 14-yard touchdown run by senior quarterback Jake Summer.

It culminated with another touchdown after a Kentlake turnover when Kent-Meridian intercepted Summer on the Royals’ 43. A gadget play which found Vinnie Malietufa with the ball then hurling it 22 yards for the touchdown with 6:55 in the fourth put the Royals up 22-15. Kentlake had two more opportunities to move down the field and score but couldn’t get into a groove offensively. Kentlake dropped to 0-2 while Kent-Meridian bounced back from a week one blowout at Tahoma to improve to 1-1. Jefferson travels to French Field Thursday to take on Kent-Meridian while Kentlake heads to Puyallup for a non-league contest Thursday. Both games kick off at 7 p.m.

DON’T FEED RAW FISH TO YOUR DOG One of the many benefits of living in the Pacific Northwest is our great outdoors. One of the things we are known for is our salmon. I grew up on the Washington coast and did a lot of salmon and steelhead fishing with my dad and brother. These days however I don’t do much fishing, and while I do enjoy an occasional meal of salmon, most of my interaction with our native salmon is through salmon poisoning in dogs. This disease is a potentially fatal condition seen in dogs who have ingested certain types of raw salmon found in the Pacific Northwest. It can also occasionally be seen from dogs who eat raw trout, where the trout come from waterways they share with salmon. We see several of these cases every year. These fish become infected with bacteria called Neorickettsia helmonthoeca. The bacteria is embedded within the fluke, Nanophyetus salmincola, which is embedded within raw fish. Once infected, dogs show some or all of the following symptoms about 6 to 10 days after ingesting the infected fish. Symptoms may be of variable severity but generally consist of: • Fever, often greater than 104 F • Depression • Anorexia • Vomiting • Diarrhea • Swollen lymph nodes • Weight loss We usually see dogs exposed either by direct contact with dying salmon in the streams or shoreline, fisherman who bring home their catch and clean them at home, or dogs that get into the garbage in which raw fish was discarded. It takes very little exposure to become infected and even a small lick can be enough. If your dog has been exposed and is showing even mild signs contact your veterinarian immediately. If left untreated this disease is usually fatal but if caught early it is very treatable with appropriate antibiotics. Some dogs require hospitalization and IV fluids as well. If symptoms are severe, more extensive may be necessary. The best treatment as always is prevention: • Control what your dog eats while on fishing trips. • Leash your dog at the beach or river so that you can monitor its activities. • Wrap garbage, especially fish entrails, and dispose in wellsecured cans. • Don’t feed raw fish to your dog. Cook fish thoroughly or deepfreeze it for a minimum of 2 weeks to destroy the parasite before feeding it to your dog.

events and performed CPR, successfully resuscitating three victims—an adult male, an adult female and an infant male. Mountain View Firefighter/EMTs’ training includes an enhanced aggressive CPR method and use of defibrillators that are carried on all first response vehicles. King County’s cardiac survival rate has increased from an above-average 27 percent in 2002 to 57 percent today. Many other parts of the nation have survival rates of 10 percent or less. “We continue to set the bar for the rest of the nation, cardiac survival is a key indicator of the quality of emergency medical response in the District and County,” Chief Smith said. The department would like to thank King County Public Health, King County Medic One, the district’s career firefighter/EMTs, volunteer firefighter/EMTs, the dispatchers on the phone and the radio, and the citizens on scene with their assistance with these calls.
