What’s in a name? Green River College to drop ‘community’ BY ROSS COYLE rcoyle@kentreporter.com
Green River Community College is dropping the “community” from its name, choosing to follow schools like Highline, South Seattle and Bellevue colleges.
The new name reflects the college’s increased focus on four-year possibilities through three new bachelor’s of applied sciences programs: two in information technology and one in marketing. The three programs are the first four-year programs that have
been offered at Green River ever since it was founded in 1965. Green River President Eileen Ely did not return phone calls for comment on the name change, instead deferring questions to new communications director Allison Friedly.
While there’s no timeline for implementing the name change, Friedly said, the school will work with committees to transition the college over to the new branding. Friedly said that the name change is in line with a host of
other colleges in the country, and that Green River will be the 19th community college in Washington to make the change. According to Friedly, the rebranding effort hopes to lend [ more CHANGE page 4 ]

When Sharon Carter spent $9,000 to buy a shuttle bus to take people back and forth to her neighborhood food bank, she believed she had resolved her city of Kent code violation. Carter, featured in a Nov. 21 Kent Reporter story about a code violation dispute with the city, allegedly remains in violation with the number of people she brings twice a week to the food bank she operates out of her East Hill home. In the fall, a code enforcement officer counted 16 people in line at her home, which violates the city code of no more than four vehicle or pedestrian trips in and out of the home per day, according to a city letter sent to Carter. So Carter, 64, bought a shuttle bus to take as many as 14 people, who park at the nearby [ more FIGHT page 4 ]
Bringing art to historic downtown Autistic savant artist welcomes possibilities with centralized gallery BY MARK KLAAS mklaas@kentreporter.com
Globally renowned for his work, local artist Michael Tolleson wants to be more recognized in Kent. Looking for a storefront gallery and the opportunity to become closer to the community, Tolleson found it in historic downtown Kent.
Tolleson, a self-taught autistic savant artist, moved his Seattle gallery to the Kent Business Center a year ago. But Tolleson wanted something more accessible and centrally located. With help from the Kent Downtown Partnership and mayor’s office, the artist found it. The Michael Tolleson Savant Art Center, at 205 First Ave. S., recently opened to the public. City and business leaders joined Tolleson and his partner, Jack Carl Anderson, also an autistic [ more GALLERY page 4 ]

Kent company seeks return of stolen 9/11 plaque BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com
Eric Flintoff can only shake his head in amazement that someone would steal a plaque from his Kent company’s flag pole dedicated to the people who lost their lives in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. A thief cut through stainless steel bolts someday last month to remove the brass plaque for its scrap metal value. “I was just shocked somebody would take that plaque and sell it for scrap or whatever,” said Flintoff, president of Medosweet Farms along First Avenue South, south of Willis Street. “It’s despicable because of what it represented.” The company is offering a $500 reward for the return of the plaque with no questions asked.

about the missing plaque. Flintoff estimated the scrap value is only about $10 to $15. “I’d love to see that plaque be returned,” Flintoff said. “It means a lot to us.” Medosweet Farms employs 75. One of the employees discovered the missing plaque from the flag pole in the parking lot outside of the offices and warehouse. “They were in disbelief that somebody would do something like that,” Flintoff said about the reaction of employees. Kent Police took a report about the theft. Police do not have any leads in the case. “I do not believe it is very common to have items such as this stolen, however copper thieves go through great lengths to steal,” said Kent Police spokeswoman Melanie Fraizer in an email. “I have not heard of any thefts such as this.” Cliff Flintoff, the father of Eric, started Medosweet Farms in 1975 after he leased a truck from Smith Brothers Farms to run an independent home dairy

Let the Olympia money chase begin. Gov. Jay Inslee recently met with Sound Publishing reporters and editors at the Bellevue Reporter office to discuss the executive branch’s 2015-17 budget proposal. Inslee’s office released the budget documents last month, which will be taken up by the Legislature when the regular session convenes Monday. The coming session is
scheduled to end April 27. The governor’s budget document states, “Our private sector is growing and unemployment is at its lowest levels since 2008. State revenue collections are rebounding, too – after several years of steady declines, revenue projections have increased in each of the past four quarters.” Inslee tempered that good news by noting the economy is rebounding at a “much slower pace than after previous recessions.

the dedication. “It was a nice ceremony,” Flintoff said. The plaque includes a photo image of the twin towers from a picture taken by Flintoff ’s parents during a trip to New York in 2000. Before making plans to replace the plaque, Flintoff hopes to get the original one back. “We’re waiting to see if the police turn up any leads,” Flintoff said. “If they don’t, we plan to replace it.” The thief had to saw through stainless steel bolts to remove the plaque, which is about a foot wide and 9 inches tall. “They put some effort into it,” Flintoff said. Frazier said the thief probably already sold the plaque for its copper. “Unfortunately, it is likely that it was already taken to a copper recycling yard, which is typical in copper thefts,” Frazier said. “The investigating officer did make checks at local recycling yards none of which reported that they had received or seen the plaque.”

Judge finds Renton man guilty of killing Kent man

BY RAECHEL DAWSON
rdawson@fedwaymirror.com
As Judge Bill Bowman read 23-year-old Kenneth M. Sutton, Jr.’s verdict – guilty of second-degree murder and other charges – one side of the court room erupted in applause. A woman cried hysterically on the other side. Police then promptly handcuffed and escorted Sutton out of the court room at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent the morning of Christmas Eve. He will be sentenced on Jan. 28 and faces up to 89 years in prison, according
to his defense attorney. Sutton, of Renton, was convicted of killing Kent resident Cloise Young, 23, and injuring six others in a shooting at the former Johnny’s Famous Bar and Grill on June 27, 2012. He was also found guilty of unlawful possession of a firearm, as he was previously convicted of other felonies. According to prosecutors, Sutton instigated an argument by claiming gang affiliation when he yelled about being with the “Rolling 90s,” a reference to a neighborhood Crip gang, before he shot his gun 11 times in the bar’s parking lot.
When Federal Way police arrived, they found Young’s body with an empty gun holster but no firearm. They collected five .45-caliber cartridge cases and 21 .40-caliber cases. Police arrested Sutton at Valley Medical Center in Renton after he fled the scene. Sutton was seeking treatment for gunshot wounds he sustained three hours prior to arriving at the hospital. As he was transported from Renton to Federal Way, police noted he acted abusive and began kicking the door of the police vehicle.

Judge Bowman said during this time officers asked him to stop his behavior, he responded with, “I don’t give a f***, do you know how much time I’m going to do for this s***?” Bowman cited this statement, and several other instances where his testimony lacked credibility, as reasons for his guilty verdict. “We’re pleased with the outcome,” said Steve Arbouthnot, the commander of the Federal Way police investigations department who oversaw the case. “A lot of hard work went into it by the detectives, a lot of investigation.”

DOUSED A Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority investigator has determined that a house fire in the 9800 block of South 242nd Place was caused by an electrical malfunction in a bathroom ceiling fan. The fire was reported by the resident and a neighbor at 4:24 p.m. Tuesday after smoke and flames were seen on the second floor of the two-story house. All three people in the home were able to get out safely. When firefighters arrived, they found the entire second story of the house filled with smoke. Firefighters contained the fire to the bathroom where it started, though the smoke and heat caused damage throughout the upper story. The fire is considered accidental.

City officials said in November the code helps preserve the residential character of the city’s neighborhoods from commercial encroachment while recognizing certain selected business activities are compatible with residential uses.

colleges, by name, are a unique institution in the world that fill a very specific and important niche. By removing the name community, Kinholt says that it changes the nature of the school and orients it more toward students from outside of the area. “It conveys a sense of the community,� Kinholt said. He was also frustrated with college officials for not notifying faculty of the name change, and only just now are communicating the change. “I don’t think a lot of the people in the community
know. The only place I saw it was in the student school newspaper,� Kinholt said Matt Swenson, college grant director, said that the name change probably won’t affect grant funding for the school because the name change won’t affect the college’s category in public education. “There’s no immediate evidence that it will have any significant impact either way,� Swenson said. But Swenson said that his office continues to look into how the name change might affect grant funding.

State needs to invest responsibly in our road infrastructure Editor’s note: James MacIsaac was working on this piece at the time of his death on Dec. 6. The Eastside Transportation Association made the final edits.
Construction, maintenance and repair of roads and bridges should be the central focus of the state transportation funding package in 2015
without being held hostage to increasing Sound Transit’s light rail taxes. The Puget Sound region’s fragile highway infrastructure desperately needs significant investments now to protect what we have and to expand what we need.

“Will the 2015 state legislative session make an impact?”
COMMENTARY
?
Question of the week:
With the start of another year comes the promise of another session of the state Legislature and the prospect — no, make that a guarantee — of more laws. A lot more laws. Remember 2014 and seemingly nothing but irreconcilable political differences between the Democrat-run House and Republicancontrolled Senate? The two chambers managed to agree on 229 bills to send to Gov. Jay Inslee. And remember how Inslee proclaimed it would be a “hold steady” year? He signed 225 of those bills into law. Already, nearly 100 pieces of legislation are drafted and in the queue for consideration when the 2015 session gets started on Monday. Here’s a sample of what may engage, and distract, lawmakers this year. Schools rule: Republicans are trying again to set aside money for elementary and secondary schools before giving any to the rest of state government. House Bill 1001 is better known as the ‘Fund Education First” bill. High bar for taxes: It’s back, the idea of amending the state constitution to require a two-thirds vote of the Legislature to raise taxes. It was a law but the state Supreme Court tossed it out. Inserting it in the constitution might do the trick, but that’s unlikely to happen this year. Abortion rights: The Senate Democratic Caucus is united behind a bill to require coverage for abortion services in employerprovided health plans. Senate Bill 5026, with its 75-word title, is an upgraded version of the Reproductive Parity Act that’s failed before. Prime-time for pot’s cousin: With a legal marijuana industry in place, there’s a bipartisan push to do the same for hemp.
No new road funding has been approved since 2005. The region’s crumbling roadways are at risk if the neglect continues. Current freeway capacity can barely carry the existing traffic demand, much less accommodate future growth. These urban roadways that carry the majority of our freight and commuters must be expanded to reduce
congestion and carbon emissions. Safety and congestion relieving road projects must be the state’s and region’s top transportation funding priority.

mense strains on our aging and seismically vulnerable road system. WSDOT has a long list of capacity projects that need funding, including two more lanes on I-405, completing SR 520 in Seattle, critical SR 509 and SR 167 extensions for access to SeaTac Airport and the Port of Tacoma and the US 2 trestle-widening in Everett, among others. WSDOT also has a vast number of preservation projects including reconstruction of the I-5 pavement through Seattle, pavement overlays and bridges all over the state and the court order to replace culverts for fish. Washington needs responsible investments in road infrastructure for the vast majority of us. Meanwhile, Sound Transit seeks to draw money away from protecting safety, commerce and environmental enhancements in the Puget Sound to support a tiny minority of regional travelers. This imbalance must end in 2015.
1205266
Despite the degradation of our roads, and frustration of the vast majority of the region’s commuters suffering from severe highway congestion, Sound Transit seeks an additional tax authority from the 2015 Legislature to fund its $15 billion Stage 3 light rail system. Why now? Sound Transit has not even finished building the light rail portion of Sound Move Stage 1 authorized by voters over 18 years ago. Stage 1 light rail has already cost taxpayers more than double the initial estimate, is years behind schedule and moves just over one-third of the 107,000 riders promised. Worse, ST 2 taxes have been collected since 2008, its construction has just started and it won’t be fully operational until at least 2023. This begs the question: “Why does Sound Transit’s board want such a massive increase in sales, property and motor vehicle excise taxes now?” Existing transit taxes are more than enough, since Sound Transit consumes nearly a third of all transportation revenues in our region. Light rail only carries about 0.23 percent (less than
one-quarter of 1 percent) of the Puget Sound’s person trips today. Proponents of the light rail system expansion claim “If we build it, they will come!” However, this is not the case. PSRC data forecasts light rail ridership will be about 10 percent of daily transit trips, which is only 4.3 percent of the total daily person trips, by 2040. Peak period transit trips are forecast to increase to 5.4 percent. Additionally, only one-fifth of light rail riders are new to using transit, while the rest have simply moved from buses to rail. Sound Transit is asking for $15 billion to shift rail ridership from 0.23 percent to a paltry 0.54 percent (about one-half of 1 percent) of regional trips. Any new transportation taxes should focus on the 99½ percent of the region’s trips that will be on the roads. The road system’s major funding sources, gas taxes and weight fees aren’t enough to maintain, preserve or build new projects. Time is overdue for funding the state’s critical road needs. The I-405 and I-5 freeways have several costly hours of miserable congestion every weekday, exemplifying im-

Eight strange Kent Police Blotter items of 2014 SAVE A recap of eight of the strangest Kent Police Blotter items from 2014: • Let me in now: Kent Police arrested a woman in her 20s for investigation of malicious mischief after she allegedly kicked a screen door and broke a window at a home after a man refused to let her inside to use the bathroom. The man told officers he didn’t know the woman who banged on his front door at about 8:58 p.m. Dec. 27 in the 900 block of West Meeker Street, according to the police report. Officers arrived, they found the woman pulling up her pants after urinating by trees near a parking lot not far from the house. Police reported the woman as being extremely intoxicated. • No peace: Officers arrested a woman for investigation of disturbing the peace after neighbors complained about her yelling, screaming and slamming doors. Officers responded to a
Woman pleads guilty to mail theft from throughout King County FOR THE REPORTER
A repeat offender with prior convictions for forgery and identity theft pleaded guilty Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Seattle to two counts of possession of stolen mail, one count of access device fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft. Bobbie Denise Catton, 50, and her cohorts stole large volumes of mail
complaint at about 12:16 a.m. Feb. 1 at a condominium complex in the 10100 block of Southeast 235th Place, according to the police report. Police arrived at the complex and could hear the woman still yelling. She yelled and cursed about a neighbor as officers approached her door. The officers advised her to be quiet or she would be arrested for disturbing the peace. • Wheelchair fisticuffs: Kent Police arrested a man in a wheelchair for investigation of fourth-degree assault after he reportedly punched another man in a wheelchair about seven times in the head at a rehabilitation center. Officers responded at about 12:19 p.m. Feb. 14 to a fight at the Benson Heights Rehab Center, 22410 Benson Road S.E., according to the police report. Employees had broken up the fight between the two men at a hallway in the complex. The man who threw the punches said he became upset after the oth-
er man yelled and kicked at him, so he started to punch the man in the head. • Up on the rooftop: Officers arrested a man for investigation of malicious mischief after he fell through the roof of a house onto a porch. The man told officers that he didn’t know anyone who lived in the home in the 300 block of Alder Lane and he was “only looking for a place to sleep,” according to the police report. The incident started at about 6:29 p.m. April 1 when a witness called 911 to report a man trying to get into a Jeep parked and unoccupied in the 1300 block of South Central Avenue. • Grandma got pulled over: Kent Police arrested a 48-year-old grandmother for investigation of driving under the influence and possession of methamphetamine after pulling her vehicle over near Kent along Interstate 5. The incident started at about 6 a.m. July 26 when a Kent officer on a return trip from Tacoma spotted a vehicle behind him speed-
between March 2013 and January 2014 from homes and apartment complexes throughout King County, according to court records. Catton faces a mandatory minimum of two years in prison for aggravated identity theft when she is sentenced later this year, according to a U.S. Attorney's Office media release. That sentence will run consecutive to any other prison time imposed on the other charges. Catton and others used stolen checks, credit and debit card information and identifying documents to commit various types of fraud. When arrested by a
King County Sheriff ’s Office deputy following a traffic stop last January, Catton had dozens of credit/debit cards and bank statements in others’ names in her possession, along with financial and identifying information for hundreds of others. Catton was previously prosecuted federally in 2002 for identity fraud and was sentenced to 33 months in prison. She has multiple state convictions for, among other things, forgery and possession of stolen property. The King County Sheriff ’s Office and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service investigated the case.

She told the officer she had been driving all night and had been drinking a lot of coffee and 5-hour energy drinks to stay awake so she could meet up with her husband in Bellingham. • Food fight: Officers arrested a man for investigation of fourth-degree assault after he reportedly punched a roommate who accused him of stealing food from a refrigerator. Officers responded to a dispute at about 4:31 p.m. on Sept. 21 at a home in the 24500 block of 104th Avenue Southeast, according to the police report. A man told police his roommate had stolen his food from their refrigerator, eaten it and then punched him after he accused him of taking the food. • Sexual demands: Kent Police arrested a man for investigation of harassment
after he allegedly threatened his wife with a knife after she declined to have sex with him. A daughter of the couple called 911 to report the incident at about 1:57 a.m. on Nov. 16 at an apartment in the 25800 block of 26th Place South, according to the police report. The wife told police her husband became upset because she declined to have sex with him. He then accused her of cheating on him. The woman denied having an affair. • Man punches girlfriend, police dog: Officers arrested a man for investigation of fourth-degree assault for allegedly punching his girlfriend and busted him for offenses against a police dog after he reportedly punched the animal in the face after it found him hiding under a backyard tarp. An officer kicked the man in the chest to get him away from the dog during the incident at about 3:03 a.m. April 13 that started near East Smith Street and Central Avenue North, according to the police report.

Water polo player recovers from brain surgery BY ROSS COYLE

The sport of water polo is demanding enough without recovering from major brain surgery. But Kentridge High water polo club player Spencer Kolke wouldn’t let something like losing a piece of his skull keep him away from his team. After a month of ongoing migraine headaches, Kolke woke up one morning in September and plugged both the shower and sink and proceeded to flood the bathroom. That was when his parents real-

Freitag wins title at SPSL showdown REPORTER STAFF
Kentridge High’s Derek Freitag captured the 113-pound title at the AllSouth Puget Sound League wrestling showdown at Auburn High School last Saturday. Freitag dropped Enumclaw’s Kyle Opland by a 5-2 decision in the championship bout. Auburn heavyweights Mario Luevano and Jacob Apodaca defeated Kent-area opponents for class titles. Luevano downed Kent-

The next thing Kolke knew he was being rushed to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. The CT scan revealed a skull bone infection that had abscessed and was progressively cutting off oxygen to Kolke’s brain. He went into emergency neurosurgery later that same day and was unconscious for more than a day. “I woke up not knowing I had brain surgery,” Kolke says, “and I

A swimmer since the age of 7, Kolke swam for summer club teams and later Kentridge. It wasn’t until last year that he tried water polo and enjoyed the experience. It wasn’t just because he had friends on the team. “Everything about it, it’s hard, it
takes dedication to do,” he says. “I like to be active, I like competition, I like to win. So really working hard for that, it’s rewarding.” But having friends and camaraderie was just as important. Having the team’s support after the surgery helped him, and he reciprocated that support by attending the majority of the games. “Some people, they would have just quit, left and went away, but I stayed with my team ‘till the end, ‘cause they’re my team.” Kentridge sophomore Sean Gilman [ more SURGERY page 9 ]

Lipsbergs rejoins T-Birds to replace injured Hickman FOR THE REPORTER
Left wing Roberts Lipsbergs has rejoined the Seattle Thunderbirds from the Stockton Thunder of the East Coast Hockey League. “With the developments with Justin (Hickman)’s shoulder and his need to have surgery we are lucky to be able to add Lipsbergs to our team at this time,” T-Birds General Manager Russ Farwell said. “He is a proven scorer and will provide the older experience our team needs as our young forwards continue to develop.” In 69 games with the T-Birds last season, Lipsbergs had 33 goals and 19 assists for 52 points. In two seasons with the T-Birds, Lipsbergs has 110 points on 63 goals and 47 assists in 132 games. Lipsbergs, from Riga, Latvia, was selected by the T-Birds in the first round, 60th overall, in the 2012 CHL Import Draft. He appeared in 15 games with the Thunder this season and had a goal and two assists. Lipsbergs is one of the T-Birds’ three 20-year-old players

Hickman had 28 points on nine goals and 19 assists with 40 penalty minutes this season. In five seasons with the T-Birds, Hickman played 285 games and had 55 goals and 77 assists for 132 points with 466 penalty minutes. Hickman finishes his T-Bird career in 11th place on the T-Birds all time games played list. With the addition of Lipsbergs to the roster, the T-Bird have released center Florian Baltram to get down to the leaguemandated two import players. This season Baltram appeared in 34 games and had one goal and four assists for five points. Baltram, from Vienna, Austria, was the T-Birds second round selection, 108th overall, in the 2014 CHL Import Draft. The T-Birds have a home-and-home series with the TriCity Americans this weekend. They travel to Kennewick for a 7:05 p.m. game Friday, then host the Americans at 5:05 p.m. Sunday at the ShoWare Center.

Sophomore Jake Davies, one of the team’s fastest swimmers, said that Kolke was one of the only other sprint players on the water polo team, and his absence was noticed. When Davies and the rest of the team heard about the injury, they imagined a broken bone or moderate illness. “Then we heard he went to Harborview,” he says. Kolke’s absence from the team was noticed, but it encouraged them more than anything else. Kolke attended a large percentage of the games, everything from their basic league games to the state tournament, and the team responded by taking eighth in state. They found themselves

working harder than years before to make sure that, even though Kolke had been robbed of playing the season, he wouldn’t miss out on a state berth. “Because he didn’t get to be as much a part of it, we wanted to play well for him,” said Davies. “He switched to a huge motivator for us, an awesome cause to keep fighting for.” Kolke is finalizing his recovery, including a hefty dose of antibiotics and home schooling. The weirdest part though is the hole in his head. During the surgery, doctors had to remove a hand-sized portion of his skull that was infected. He’s had to wear a helmet when he goes around, as

Later in January Kolke will go in for a final surgery to replace the missing bone with a synthetic plate, but for the time being he takes it easy and staying indoors recovering. “I’m basically normal right now,” he says, “I just don’t have a piece of my skull.”

children to love, respect and believe in themselves in order to make the world a better place, provide an opportunity for adults to share an open dialogue with children about Faith’s message that it’s OK that people look different on the outside, and to inspire readers to see the world from Faith’s unique perspective.� Beckley’s plans to share her book with children with cancer, children with a physical deformity or even children who are subject to bullying, so that they might benefit from the fundamental message of the story and help them through any difficult life journey. Beckley also plans to distribute the book to the many rescue shelters that work hard to save the lives of precious animals.

PUGET SOUND BLOOD CENTER (PSBC) extended its urgent appeal Wednesday for people to donate blood after a significant decline in the blood supply following the holiday season. While donations normally dip during holiday periods, this year PSBC faces critical shortages for some blood types. “With schools out and holiday activities over several weeks, we saw the number of blood donors fall by 20 percent,� said David Leitch, director of donor and volunteer resources for PSBC. “With supplies already low for some blood types, the risk of a postholiday supply crisis is looming.� There is an acute shortage of platelets and O-negative red cells – the blood type that can be given to patients with any other blood type. Although supplies of these components are especially low, PSBC welcomes donors of all blood types to maintain a strong supply for patients in need. Appointments are encouraged, but walk-ins are welcome. Appointments can be made online at schedule.psbc. org or by phone by calling 1-800398-7888.

Suggesting some cost-saving chores for the new year
gutters at least once – before they overflow. Water spilling onto pathways will encourage slippery moss and mold growth and water hitting porch or posts causes rotting wood and expensive repairs. Afraid of ladders? Hiring this job is money well spent. Tip:
2.
Add lime to your lawn at least once this year. If you live in Western Washington, you have naturally acid soil. Lawns grow better and require less water and fertilizer if they grow in soil that is more neutral. You can add dolomite lime, Super Sweet, calcium carbonate or a similar soil sweeting additive any time of the year.
THE GARDENER
1. Clean the
That gunk from your gutters is good organic material to add to compost piles or to bury into your garden beds as a soil amendment.
Marianne Binetti
The beginning of January is when all homeowners and gardeners can make resolutions that will save them time and money over the next year. You don’t need to do these chores immediately, just try to check them off at least once in 2015. Five things to do for yourself and your home:
3. Prune it or move it. Make this the year you allow natural sunlight into your home by trimming back the overgrown
evergreens or moving the huge rhododendrons that block your windows. Keeping plants away from the windows improves curb appeal which improves the value of your home. Yes, you can move plants in the winter as long as the ground is not frozen.
4. Give up on an ugly plant. It is OK to cut down a diseased tree, uproot that rose that rarely flowers or take a chain saw to the base of those ugly, overgrown junipers. Plants are not children and we do not owe them a lifetime commitment. Think of your landscape as a closet that needs cleaning out every few years to restore order. We often outgrow our clothing – and our plants often outgrow their purpose. Winter is a fine time to remove plants.
5.
Try growing something new and interesting in 2015. If you are lacking in outdoor space, try a new houseplant or a potted Thai basil plant and you’ll have the benefit of more flavorful meals. To improve your indoor view looking out, invest in an unusual Japanese maple that you can see from your favorite chair. To feed the birds try adding native plants with berries and fruit such as mahonia or Oregon grape or add a graceful nandina as a foundation shrub close to the house. For more ideas and new plant inspiration visit a home and garden show or take a class at a nursery. Make 2015 the year you improve your home, your garden and your mindset.
