In the Reporter’s and Courier-Herald’s second installment of our Washington’s smoke signals series on marijuana, the topic of myths around pot are tackled.
Drive through most neighborhoods in Maple Valley, Covington or other small cities in the region and they usually appear to be peaceful, friendly places to live. That outward appearance is probably accurate, unless there is a battle brewing between some neighbors. In a majority of neighbor disputes, it’s hard to pinpoint the exact cause for MAPLE all the feuding. VALLEY One side makes claims against a neighbor’s behavior and the other side alleges the first is a bad neighbor. Maple Valley Detective Jason Stanley said he’s seen neighborhood disputes and is grateful he gets along with his own neighbors. In his mind, there’s little worse than a neighbor dispute — being a prisoner in your own home. “They’re not even compelling stories
Think back to high school health class – you may have seen the old propaganda film “Reefer Madness,” originally released in 1938, though it was revived and brought back to schools in the 1970s. Sparing the plot details of the film, it paints marijuana as “the new drug menace which is destroying the youth of America in alarmingly increasing numbers.” The film claimed marijuana is a violent [ more SMOKE page 6 ]

Nonprofit coordinates donation to Sierra Leone BY ERIC MANDEL emandel@covingtonreporter.com
Officials from The Bridge of Hope are coordinating with the city of Kirkland to donate a surplused Kirkland Fire Aid car to assist with the Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone. There is a lack of sterile transportation options in Sierra Leone for suspected Ebola patients. The disease spreads when Ebola patients and non-Ebola patients are transported in the same vehicle. The donated aid car will be used to transport patients to Magbenteh Hospital in the town of Makeni, in Sierra Leone. According to a fire department press release, there are only three such
aid cars serving the over five million people in the country. Mike Jeffery, Battalion Chief for the Kirkland Fire Department and Director of Operations for The Bridge of Hope, a nonprofit organization in Maple Valley, said the interior of the aid vehicle is made of easily washable linoleum, stainless steel and plexiglass. The stretcher is vinyl. These products are much more easily decontaminated. “They need specific vehicles that they can keep isolated and clean,” Jeffery said. The aid vehicle was originally purchased eight years ago for about $125,000, according to Jeffery. With more than 60,000 miles of use, Jeffery said the vehicle
would likely be sold at auction for less than $15,000, which is the value at which a city can donate surplused items to areas of need without public approval. A privately donated Suburban that will be used at the Sierra Leone Bridge of Hope compound will be shipped alongside the aid vehicle. Various hospitals and medical personnel also donated roughly five tons of supplies that include gloves, gowns, syringes, catheters, trauma supplies, vitamins and aspirin, Jeffery said. Despite the dire need for the aid vehicle and supplies, Jeffery said the contract-related slowdown at the West Coast seaports are causing major shipment delays. “We’re not on the queue right now for any outgoing ship at this time,” he said. “We’re trying to get our foot in the door. We’ve been on the phone literally for months.” Jeffery said he is considering transporting the aid vehicle and [ more NONPROFIT page 2]

I’ve said it before and I’ll continue to say it: I’m not the greatest housekeeper. I have to admit, I’m OK with this state of being, to a point. My mom and her friend were on the same topic of conversation just a couple days before: “My friend said her mother always told her that either you take time to clean or you take time to work on a project.” That kind of stopped me in my tracks. I’m obviously not in denial about my housekeeping skills and I agree with philosophy of “will your children remember all the fun they had with you or your clean house?” but there has to be a happy medium. Most of us would agree that it would be nice if we were comfortable with people just stopping by unannounced or with little warning. Such happenings would be further enjoyed if we weren’t running around throwing things in closets and making excuses for the toilet and sink in the hall bathroom —“It’s my kids’ bathroom, I’m not at fault for its state.” There are people who actually make a living writing books and blogs giving us a diagram to make our homes company ready. I follow them, but not necessarily their advice, because I choose not to obsess about it. I mean how many people drop by unannounced anyway? Lately, though, my viewpoint that because I didn’t mess up the house alone, I shouldn’t have to clean it alone isn’t holding a lot of weight. I find the older my kids get and are out of the house, the more often I truly am the one who messed it up or used it the most. There also comes a limit to the level of tolerance for even those of us with a numbed sense of messiness. When my

husband and I start making jokes about whether or not we’d notice if he cleaned the beard trimmings out of the sink (“as a matter of fact, it would match the décor of the rest of the bathroom”), it’s time to clean the bathroom. So yesterday, as I was about to jump into the shower, I decided to do just that. “Just the shower,” I told myself. “I’ll get to the rest later.” I like cleaning my non-tub shower in the nude just because I’m already wet and it keeps the water contained in the shower, which may be a stark (pun intended) picture for some of you (not as much as when my sister-in-law found out, via my blog, the day after talking to me one day that I was naked-cleaning when she called). After the shower and my body were clean, I stepped out to the rest of the bathroom screaming for my attention. As the bathroom is not in view of a low-lying window, nor is my laundry hall where the cleaning supplies are, I went ahead and finished cleaning in the buff so as not to mess up clothes with cleaning detergents. I was so pleased with my accomplishment, I figured my husband and daughter would be ecstatic. Neither of them noticed. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, because my daughter didn’t mention its advanced state of horror after being at college the past few weeks. So today, as I observed the kitchen floor, I realized if I’m going to clean, I should just do it for me and since no one else seems to care or chooses not to notice (that is up for debate), I don’t have to do it all at once. Sweep today, mop tomorrow — if I feel like it.

Jeffery said the items should reach Sierra Leone between six and eight weeks after it leaves port. Depending on the status of the outbreak, he hopes a small team from the Bridge of Hope will be in country to transport the shipment to McKenni with representatives from the country’s Ministry of Health. The Ebola virus has infected more than 21,000 West Africans, killing at least 8,600, according to the most recent estimates. The latest report from the World Health Organization showed the rate of new cases is slowing in the three most affected countries: Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Sierra Leone is reporting a heavy majority of the new cases. Jeffery’s wife, Geri, the executive director of the nonprofit, expects that, even after the Ebola crisis slows, it will take years for the country to recover from an education and economic standpoint. Jeffery said the people of Sierra Leone are doing “much better than would be expected” and hopes schools may reopen by March. “It’s been such an up-and-down roller coaster so far that you don’t want to get your hopes up too high,” he said.

Council considers refinancing bonds

SHERIFF MAKES SUPER BOWL BET King County Sheriff John Urquhart has made a friendly wager on Super Bowl XLIX with Sheriff Steven W. Tompkins of the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department in Boston. If the New England Patriots lose, Tompkins will send one dozen lobster tail pastries from Luberto’s Bakery in Revere, Mass. to the King County Courthouse. In return, Urquhart wagered a selection of cupcakes from Seattle’s own Cupcake Royale, along with made-in-Seattle Sea-Salt Truffles from Fran’s Chocolates.

The Maple Valley City Council is looking at options for refinancing $2.9 million in general obligation bonds. The council agreed at Monday night’s meeting that refinancing will happen, but whether it will be a tax-exempt or taxable structure remains a contentious issue among the council members. The 20-year general obligation bonds were first acquired in June 2000 for about $6.7 million. They were used to purchase the Henry’s Switch property from the county and fund half of the “legacy” site, located across the street from the Tahoma School District Central Services Center on state Route 169. In 2005, the City Council refinanced the remainder of the bonds because interest rates were low, savings about $284,000. The city still had about $4.8 million of the bond’s principle to pay off. Now, 10 years later, the principle is down to about $2.9 million. Refinancing the bond using a tax-exempt structure with today’s interest rates, which are at a “historic low” according to Justin Monwai of Piper Jaffray & Co., would save the city about $223,267 over the next five years. Refinancing the bond using a taxable structure would save about $175,555 — a difference of approximately $47,700. For council members Noel Gerken, Layne Barnes and Linda Johnson, the decision is a no-brainer:

At the time the land was purchased, the bonds used were classified as tax-exempt, which imposed a restriction on the use of the land. The restriction is that a maximum of 5 percent of the land purchased with the bonds can be used for private purposes. Because the bonds were used to purchase only half of the legacy site — the other half coming from the city’s money directly — this restriction means that only 1.25 of the 50 acres can be used by or leased to a private business. The same case applies to Henry’s Switch, but that property has additional

Allison responded to Johnson’s comments by saying if the council chooses to have the restrictions on the land, they could miss an opportunity in the next five years to do something with it. “I think anytime we restrict ourselves to the options that are out there, that can be a detriment to us,” Allison said. He added, “Right now, I hope it doesn’t take up to five years for something to happen on this property.”
The “opportunities” Allison referred to could include partnering with a private company to build a recreational facility, City Hall or other structure and potentially leasing out portions of the property. City Attorney Jeff Taraday chimed in by saying, “You will have more leasing flexibility when you have taxable bonds than when you tax-exempt bonds.” Also, opting for a taxable bond option does not lock the city into an agreement to use the land in partnership with a private entity, said Shawn Hunstock, the city’s finance director. The city could still choose to use the land entirely for public use. The City Council decided at Monday’s meeting to hold a public hearing Feb. 9 on this issue. In the meantime, Gerken and Parnello have asked city staff to locate the original documents dating back to 2000 related to the original plan for the legacy site and Henry’s Switch. Parnello said this will help him understand what the intended purpose was for the land at the time of the purchase and to decide whether a taxable refinance option is in line with those intentions.

HODGKIN’S LYMPHOMA Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system, which is a part of the body’s immune system. The disease causes cells in the lymphatic system to continue to grow and stay alive when healthy cells should otherwise have died. Symptoms of the disease include a painless swelling of the lymph nodes in the neck, underarms, or groin area; persistent tiredness; fever and chills; night sweats; and unexplained weight loss. There may also be a loss of appetite, itchiness, coughing, chest pain or having a hard time breathing, and a sensitivity to alcohol. Any of these symptoms should be evaluated by a health care provider. Treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma usually involves chemotherapy or radiation therapy. People who have had Hodgkin’s lymphoma have an increased risk for developing other kinds of cancer later in life. To schedule an appointment at Southlake Clinic, please call (253) 395-1972.

Why did President Obama make his recent proposal to federally fund two years of community college to all students? Why would he do such a thing, knowing full well that there is very little chance for it to get through the Republicancontrolled Congress? We don’t know the full plan yet since the White House said it would reveal more during the State of the Union Address Jan. 20, and in February. Whatever the plan, President Obama has a deeper, unspoken agenda for making such a proposal. The president made this announcement in Tennessee, which is in the process of doing exactly that — using state funds, as is Oregon. California has funded free or very low tuition and was a leader in the creation of “junior colleges” going back to 1900. According to “Our View” in the Jan. 13 News Tribune, the Washington State Legislature has beaten the president to the punch. Although it has put pressure on two-year and four-year state colleges by relentlessly raising tuition, the Legislature also passed a measure giving out state need grants to 70,000 low-income students. Since 2007, Washington state has offered a full tuition grant for both two- and four-year state colleges, if low-income students sign up in the seventh or eighth grades, maintain at least a C grade, graduate from high school and avoid getting in trouble with the law. According to a report launched last March, this College Bound Program has been an enormous success. Low-income students were enrolling at the same rate as students from middle-class families. The program appears to have also cut dropout rates for high school. In Focus
Five bills could bring big changes Lawmakers are looking at ways to make the election process cheaper for voters, easier to see who is funding campaigns and harder to run initiatives with financial consequences. Holding fewer elections, paying the postage on mail-in ballots and new disclosure rules for pop-up political committees are among the ideas put forth thus far this session. Here are five bills receiving attention from lawmakers that could mean big changes in coming election cycles. Exposing dark money: Senate Bill 5153 takes aim at an emerging force in campaigns — political committees created and funded by nonprofit associations. Under existing rules, they can pretty much mask their identity and shield the source of their money because of their status. This is a big topic nationally — think Koch Brothers — and it is showing up in this state as well. In 2013, a group called Working Washington dumped bunches of money into passing a minimum wage measure in SeaTac. It took time
Obama’s plan will probably be modeled on Tennessee’s, which requires a 2.5 grade-point average. The cost of the president’s $60 billion proposal would have the federal government paying 75 percent of the bill with states picking up the remaining 25 percent, according to a Jan. 8 Wall Street Journal article. Perhaps the president has advocated adding two years to high school because he knows that there are thousands of jobs in businesses not being filled for lack of skilled labor in this country. Many businesses might actually support such a jobs bill if the program works. Perhaps he knows there is an enormous gap in lifetime income between those who get college degrees and those who don’t. Perhaps by proposing this plan, he will create a national debate over the best way to improve the “educational infrastructure” of this nation. His proposal may not find traction in Congress, but it will put pressure on the Republicans to
come up with their own plan. The president may be upping the bid for the 2016 election. Republicans have to do something about immigration reform and now, since Obama has added the idea of paying for college tuition for students attending community colleges, they will have to come up with another plan that matches or betters the president’s. If Republicans continue to be the party of “no” when they control Congress that will be one more nail in their coffin for the 2016 elections. Remember that the key benefactors of this new program are the people who will turn out to vote in the 2016 election, but who did not show up for the 2014 Congressional race: the young, lower-income students and minorities who more often sign up to attend the cheaper community colleges. If the Republicans refuse to act, they will be buried in 2016. The president’s college tuition initiative is a challenge to the Republicans: “fish or cut bait.”
to track the source of the money to a unionsponsored group. Also that year, the Grocery Manufacturers Association spent several million dollars to defeat a food-labeling initiative, then tried unsuccessfully to keep its donors secret. This bill creates a new class of political committee called incidental committees. These would file reports with the state Public Disclosure Commission if they spend at least $25,000 in a campaign for a statewide office or ballot measure, or $5,000 in a local contest. Only those who contribute $2,000 or more to a committee must be identified. Enough with the advice: House Bill 1323 would eliminate those statewide advisory votes that let voters weigh in whether they like or dislike revenue-generating bills passed by the Legislature. These nonbinding measures are the result of a provision in Initiative 960 which Mukilteo’s Tim Eyman sponsored and voters approved in 2007. It costs taxpayers to give their advice. The text of the bills and the votes of the lawmakers must appear in the voter pamphlets. In 2014, that information filled six pages and cost the state $87,761. In 2013, the tab was $164,444 for 10 pages of content. Election reduction: There would no longer be elections in February and April if House Bill 1379 became law. Instead, there would only be a primary in August and general election in November with provisions for special elections to deal with recalls and unexpected vacancies.
Elections in February and April are typically when school districts and fire districts put their funding measures on the ballot. Picking up the tab: Some lawmakers worry the cost of a stamp — 49 cents for first class — is a barrier to voting. They’ve drawn up Senate Bill 5344 to require that return envelopes for primary and general election ballots include prepaid postage. Counties would pay and get reimbursed by the state. It might not be cheap. “The legislature finds that the postage, while only a small amount, amounts to the poll tax for many of our citizens,” reads the bill. Hold that budget-busting initiative: There’s a bipartisan uprising to keep expensive initiatives off the ballot unless they include a means of paying for themselves. Thirty-eight senators — half of them Republican, half Democrat — are proposing a constitutional amendment to turn down initiatives that would knock the state budget out of balance because of cost. Senate Joint Resolution 8201 must be approved by a two-thirds majority in each chamber and then it goes to the people for a simple majority vote. Voters’ approval of Initiative 1351 in November is pushing lawmakers in this direction. That measure requires smaller classes at every grade level. It will cost an estimated $4 billion to carry out and lawmakers don’t know where they will get that kind of money. That’s why it’s likely that sometime this session lawmakers will act to amend or suspend the ballot measure.

CITY OF COVINGTON NOTICES CITY COUNCIL NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2015 – 7:00 PM NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that pursuant to Chapter 35A.63.220 of the Revised Code of Washington, the Covington City Council will a hold a public hearing on a proposed ordinance which establishes a six-month extension on a moratorium on medical marijuana dispensaries, production and processing facilities, and collective gardens, at its regular meeting on Tuesday, February 10, 2015, at 7:00 p.m., to be held in the Council Chambers at Covington City Hall, 16720 S.E. 271st Street, Covington, Washington. The purpose of this public hearing is for the City Council to receive comments from the public, both written and oral, regarding a proposed ordinance extending the current moratorium within the City of Covington on the establishment, location, operation, licensing, maintenance, or continuation of medical marijuana dispensaries, production facilities, processing facilities, and collective gardens.
of marijuana go unanswered and are subject to old biases and new assumptions from both sides of the debate. So which facts are solid, and which are just smoke?
IS MARIJUANA SMOKE MORE CARCINOGENIC THAN TOBACCO SMOKE? Exactly how healthy, or unhealthy, smoking marijuana can be is still being debated by scientists and researchers. While medical marijuana has been prescribed for general pain and anxiety, the long-term health effects of the drug are relatively unknown. However, the chemical makeup of marijuana is less mysterious, and gives researchers a clue as to how marijuana can affect the body. According to the American Lung Association, marijuana smoke contains 33 known carcinogens. In contrast, cigarette smoke contains 70 carcinogens. While marijuana smoke contain less carcinogens than tobacco smoke, the American Lung Association and the British Lung Foundation have said differences in how marijuana and tobacco are smoked may tip the scales. According to the American Lung Association, “When equal amounts of marijuana and tobacco are smoked, marijuana deposits four times as much tar into the lungs. This is because marijuana joints are unfiltered and often more deeply inhaled than cigarettes.� The British Lung Foundation estimates that while people generally smoke marijuana less often than cigarettes, people inhaling marijuana smoke take a two-thirds larger puff volume than when people inhale tobacco smoke.
CALLING ALL DANCERS!
All persons desiring to comment may do so in writing to Sharon Scott, City Clerk, at 16720 SE 271st Street, Suite 100, Covington, Washington, 98042 or by appearing at the public hearing on February 10, 2015. NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that agenda information will be posted the Friday prior to the above meeting at Covington City Hall, and on the City’s web site: www.covingtonwa.gov.

identified as a carcinogenic chemical. The Institute concluded that more research on marijuana smoke and cancer is needed to determine a connection between the two. Conclusion: Unclear While marijuana smoke contains less identified carcinogens than tobacco smoke, marijuana smoking practices may make up the difference in cancer risk. Many scientific studies have produced different and even conflicting information, from finding carcinogens in marijuana smoke to claiming THC inhibits those same carcinogens. With the lack of multiple long-term experiments, it is difficult to determine whether or not marijuana smoke is more carcinogenic than tobacco smoke. However, current evidence and studies seem to point toward marijuana smoke being less carcinogenic than tobacco smoke, though not without its risks. ***
CAN A PERSON BECOME ADDICTED TO MARIJUANA? It’s probably a line you heard in high school – “Don’t be stupid, you can’t get addicted to weed.� According to the National Institute of Drug Abuse, though, 9 percent of people who use marijuana, or one in 11, will become dependent on the drug. Chances for addiction become higher the earlier marijuana is introduced. About 17 percent of teenage users, or one in six, are estimated to become dependent on the drug. Additionally, 25 to 50 percent of people who are heavy users and smoke marijuana every day can become addicted. The National Institute of Drug Abuse cited the 2013 National Survey of Drug Use and Health, which estimated marijuana accounted for 4.2 million of the estimated 6.9 million Americans dependent on or abusing illicit drugs. Symptoms of marijuana dependence include sleeplessness, irritability, decreased appetite or cravings, and various forms of physical discomfort. According to the National Institute of Drug Abuse, symptoms can last for up to two weeks. “Researchers do not yet know the full extent of the consequences when the body and brain (especially [ more SMOKE page 11

Besides neighbor confrontations, the Center assists with family issues, elder care and landlord/tenant arguments. Mediation is voluntary and both parties must agree to take part. If one party declines, the other can still take part in conflict coaching or learn other possibilities for coexisting. The Center does not conduct mediation for cases with a threat of violence. The Center handles about 800 small claims mediations each year. Of those, 30 were listed as neighbor-to-neighbor issues, 17 of which were settled. The Center oversaw another 65 mediation cases in 2014 that weren’t passed along by the court, as well as 81 telephone consultations where the mediator resolves and negotiates between the fighting parties over a period of time by phone. Of the four neighbor-to-neighbor cases not related to small claims, three were settled. At the court’s request, the

Walk through the display gardens and forest trails of Lake Wilderness Arboretum right now, and you may catch a glimpse of several plants that are currently blooming. The cool, wet western Washington weather creates ideal conditions for mosses, lichens and algae to grow on tree trunks, limbs and other surfaces. Orthotrichum and homalothecium mosses are prevalent, while usnea is one of the feathery light green lichen that hangs delicately from branches. Algae simply need copious amounts of moisture to grow. These primitive plants contain chlorophyll and make their own food. Witch hazel blooms near the meadow through March. This shrub shows off delicate, sweetly fragrant yellow flowers, which grow along the stems. Best in full sun, witch hazel looks nice in a border or a woodland garden, offering attractive summer foliage and fall color. Winter honeysuckle, known as lonicera fragrantissima, blooms in the Legacy Garden through February.

Even if an agreement isn’t made, Davis feels she at least assisted in starting the conversation. Caroline Davenport, conciliation manager, said the idea is to quash a fight before it needs to go to court. “These are ongoing, long term relationships,” Davenport said. “Those tend to go a little more different than just a money situation or landlord, tenant dispute.” Davis said there aren’t always happy endings. Some neighbors, she said, are just bullies who are set on fighting and have nothing invested in stopping. “Those things are hard to see because those typically escalate,” she said. Stanley said that, unless an actual crime has been committed, police are usually left playing the role of mediators — suggesting potential compromise and rational thinking. “We try to hear both sides of the story,” Stanley said. “By no means are we any binding arbitration. We just try to help people solve their problems.”

Winning the SPSL 4A Northeast conference would go a long way toward the kind of favorable draw Kentlake will need for a run to the regional tournament. But beyond that, there’s something Falcon pride at stake. “It’s been nine or ten years since we’ve been able to put a banner up in our gym, so that would be a very, very cool thing,” said Kentlake girls head basketball coach Scott Simmons. Kentlake took another big step towards their first conference title since the 2004-05 season with a 42-36 win over Tahoma Saturday night. As of press deadline Tuesday, Kentlake was 5-1 in conference with matchups against Kent-Meridian (2-4 in conference) and Kentwood (0-6 in conference) before the district tournament. The Falcons split the regular season
games against Kentridge, which also had just one loss as of Tuesday. This means a tie-breaker scenario may be on the horizon. “It’s not surprising… that it is two of us neck-andneck at the end,” Simmons said. “I know our girls are competitive kids and like to step up in big games… It could just be one of those classic battles.” Led by sophomore point guard Sydney Peterson, the youthful Falcons have scored an average of nearly 51 points per game in conference, while surrendering just over 39 points to their opponents. Simmons credited Peterson’s fellow underclassmen, Jada Leonard, Kylee Johnson and Aniston Denckla for building strong chemistry throughout the squad and supporting one another. “It’s hard to stop talking about the kids because I’m very proud of each and every one of them,” Simmons
Sophomore Kylee Johnson goes up for a shot against a crowd of defenders Jan. 24 against Tahoma. The Falcons beat the Bears 42-36, staying alive for a conference championship. DENNIS BOX, The Reporter said. The 2004-05 Falcons squad finished fifth overall at state. Simmons hopes to build enough momentum to give that placing a run. “This group, they have the potential,” he said. “If we don’t at least make it to regionals we would be
disappointed in ourselves and underachieved.”
Kentwood boys
The Kentwood boys basketball team kept their undefeated conference record with a 70-59 win over second-place Kentridge on Jan. 24. As of press time Tuesday, Kentwood owned
a 6-0 conference record, 16-2 overall. Kentlake defeated Tahoma earlier in the day, 44-40, for their second conference win of the season. At 2-4, the Falcons were third in the five-team conference, as of Tuesday. Tahoma sits in last with a 1-6 record.

Five things you can do this winter for your garden 1. BUY AND PLANT BARE ROOT ROSES. Area nurseries have a great price on roses during the winter because they are sold “bare root” or without a pot and soil. This means they usually have their roots encased in a plastic bag with damp sawdust keeping the bare roots damp. Bare root roses this time of year are still dormant so this also makes them easier to plant, as they won’t suffer as much from the shock of transplanting. Bare root roses are much easier to load into
[ SMOKE from page 6] the developing brain) are exposed to high concentrations of THC,” the National Institute of Drug Abuse wrote on their website. Conclusion: Yes While marijuana can be addictive, dependence and withdrawal symptoms may not be as severe as other substances. ***
CAN MARIJUANA LOWER YOUR IQ/MAKE YOU LOSE BRAIN CELLS? A 2012 New Zealand study, published by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found frequent marijuana use in teenagers was associated with an average loss of IQ points later in adulthood The same study found those who started smoking marijuana in adulthood did not lose IQ points. However, another study, published in the same year in the same journal, claimed the drop in IQ points could be
2. BUY AND PLANT BARE ROOT FRUIT TREES AND BERRIES Once again, winter is the best time to add bare root fruit trees because they are under the anesthetic of winter and won’t suffer from the transplant operation. If your New Year’s resolution is to become more self-sufficient by growing more food, make this the week you add a mini-orchard to your property. Apple trees come in dwarf and semi-dwarf root stocks and there is also a “Columnar” apple tree that bears fruit on the trunk or short spurs. This tree does not branch out. Marianne Binetti
Five things you can do this winter for your garden:
the car and carry about the garden. This is the best time of year to find named varieties of hybrid tea roses like the diseaseresistant Peace rose, climbing roses like the classic New Dawn pink rose and hardy shrub, landscape and species roses like the thorny but tough Rosa Rugosa. Planting Tip: Soak the bare roots overnight in a bucket of water and if you buy a boxed bare root rose, do not plant the cardboard box with the rose no matter what the package recommends. Our mild winter climate means the rose roots do not need the added protection of cardboard.
The Compleat Home Gardener
The end of January and beginning of February means it is time to dig in and start planning and planting.
The “Columnar” apple tree needs just 2 feet of room and can be grown in a half whiskey barrel.
3. BUY AND PLANT BARE ROOT FLOWERING SHRUBS Old-fashioned favorites like lilac, spiraea, forsythia and quince can be purchased bare root and a dozen of these blooming shrubs will take up less space in your car than a week’s worth of groceries. Use a mix of inexpensive bare root shrubs and a few evergreens to design a border of plant material along a property line or in front of a fence line to create a tapestry of bloom. A mix of blooming bushes can replace the evergreen and ever boring line of pyramidalis arborvitae lined up like green soldiers. The more diverse the plants in
related socioeconomic status as opposed to marijuana use, and the results were confounded. Additionally, the new study cited a different Canadian study that found there were no permanent effects of marijuana on IQ. The new study concluded the New Zealand study’s “estimated effect of adolescent-onset cannabis use on IQ is likely biased, and the true effect could be zero.” In a Time Magazine article, Carl Hart, an associate professor at Columbia University, also said the New Zealand study was flawed. Hart stated that because only 38 people were used in the original study, the information gathered from the study could not be generalized to the rest of the population. Conclusion: Insufficient data Without a larger group of subjects over a long period of time, it would be hard to determine whether marijuana lowers IQ. It is made more difficult by the fact that drops in IQ can be also related to variances in socioeconomic status.

4. ORDER SEEDS FROM CATALOGS NOW OR BUY SEEDS FROM LOCAL NURSERIES OFFERED BY LOCAL SEED COMPANIES Those of us who live in Western Washington are lucky to have Ed Hume Seed Company based in Puyallup with Ed Hume himself still recommending the best seed varieties and planting tips from his 50-plus years of local gardening experience. You can find Ed Hume seeds at many home centers, grocery stores and nurseries or order online at EdHumeSeeds.com. It is still too early to start many seeds either indoors or out, but purchasing seeds now ensures that the varieties you
want will be in stock and you can use the information on the package to plot out when and where to plant the seed. Tip: Displaying colorful seed packs in a basket or bowl is a great spring tonic. You can also string a piece of twine across a window or mantel. Then use clothes pins to clip the seed packages to the twine for an inspirational banner of summer bounty to come.
5. SIGN UP FOR A CLASS AT A NURSERY Check out some gardening books from the library or buy early-bird discount tickets to the Northwest Flower and Garden Show (www.gardenshow.com). There is a lot of winter inspiration available now to heat up your spring fever.
CAN CITIES MAKE A LOT OF MONEY OFF OF MARIJUANA RETAIL STORES? The city of Bonney Lake was one of the most recent cities to outright ban marijuana businesses from the city limits. The city joins more than 50 cities and counties ban marijuana businesses. Much of the discussion the Bonney Lake City Council had revolved around the dangers and risks of marijuana, and little discussion was held over how much money the city could make from allowing a marijuana retail store to open. “Money shouldn’t be the driver,” Bonney Lake Mayor Johnson said after the city passed the ban on marijuana businesses. “It’s the right thing (to do). If money was the driver, I’d be disappointed.” However, two attorneys presented to the City Council that the city could stand to make big bucks from the one [ more SMOKE page 15 ]

James Howard Sweiger, 90, passed away peacefully January 16, 2015 at his residence in Maple Valley, Washington, with family at his side. He had been battling a rare condition, amyloidosis, for just over a year. Dr. Jim, as he was commonly known, was born October 1, 1924 near Maysville, Missouri, on a family farm. His parents were Howard William and Elma Sweiger. He rode by horseback to grade school, and graduated from high school in 1941 earning top honors. He obtained his college degree in premedical studies at Central Methodist College, Fayette, Missouri, in 1944, followed by medical school and internship at Washington University St. Louis. There he met his wife, Annadelle, an RN and in 1949, moved back to Maysville where he practiced solo family medicine for 18 years. Dr. Jim served in the Army as commanding officer of the 501st armored medical company in Germany for two years returning to his solo practice in Maysville in 1957. He was a true country Dr., the only M.D. in the County at the time, and made home calls every day after office hours were over. He delivered over 800 babies in his career of 55 years. In 1969, Dr. Jim moved 30 miles to join three physicians (Drs Mabrey, Luckenbill, and Ozenberger) at the Plattsburg Medical Clinic in Plattsburg, Mo, where he remained until his move in 1999 to Maple Valley,Washington, to be closer to family and to practice medicine alongside his son, David, at Maple Valley Medical Clinic. Dr. Jim was active in the Christian Church of both Maysville and Plattsburg and the Presbyterian Church in Maple Valley and volunteered many years at the Maple Valley food bank. His primary hobby was raising and personally training high show quality Palomino quarter horses. He and his wife were elected into the Palomino exhibitors Hall of Fame in Lexington Kentucky June 1994. Other achievements included Dr. of the month for Missouri Medical Association, long-term preceptor of numerous medical students, longterm member of the AMA, AAFP, vice president of Grand River Medical Society in Missouri, and Rotarian. He also enjoyed playing the piano and baking. Dr. Jim was most admired for his gentle manner and always putting others before himself. He was a superb empathetic clinician and was well respected in the communities he served. He will be greatly missed and impossible to replace. He is survived by two sons, Paul and David, eight grandchildren, twelve great-grandchildren, and his brother, Emory who just turned 100 and still resides on the family farm. His Memorial service will be held on Saturday, February 7 at 1 PM at Maple Valley Presbyterian Church in Maple Valley, Washington. A time of remembrance and celebration of his life will occur in Maysville Missouri on Saturday, March 14, 11 AM at the June Conley building.Any Memorial donations can be made to the food bank at the local community of the donation.

figure off of two of his other client’s businesses. One of his clients, based in downtown Tacoma, makes $1 million a month, while another in Gray’s Harbor made $100,000. According to the Washington State Liquor Control Board, a total of 84 marijuana retail stores opened between June 2014 and December 2014. These stores made more than $40 million during those seven months. The average marijuana store made $80,000 a month between June 2014 and the end of the year. In Bonney Lake, where the city takes 2.3 percent in sales tax, the city could expect to see upwards of $22,000 in sales tax revenue from the average marijuana retail store in one year. According to the Liquor Control Board, Mr. Bills of Buckley, based in the city of Buckley off state Route 410, made $360,000 from when it opened in September to the end of the year. Averaged out, Mr. Bills made more than $90,000 per month for those four months. If sales remained the same for an entire year, the store could stand to make more than $1 million. If a Bonney Lake marijuana retailer performed similarly, the city could expect to see around $24,000 in sales tax revenue for the entire year. Conclusion: Unlikely With the state taking all proceeds from the 25 percent excise tax on marijuana retail sales, smaller city governments would rely solely on sales tax revenue for their budgets. Based on the performance of average marijuana retail stores in 2014, cities with a comparable 2.3 percent sales tax rate could see around $22,000 in sales tax revenue for an entire year per marijuana retail store. However, with the implementation of I-502 still recent, sales patterns may rise or fall as legal marijuana becomes more or less popular with the public.
