Hemp, a casualty of marijuana prohibition BY REBECCA GOURLEY rgourley@covingtonreporter.com
H
emp is neither a drug nor a hallucinogen, but it’s still considered a controlled substance by the federal government. However, a combination of new federal and state laws passed in the last year could eliminate restrictions on growing hemp in Washington. In the early 1600s, hemp was used as legal tender in what is now Pennsylvania, Virginia and Maryland, according to the Public Broadcasting Service Frontline website. The Virginia Assembly made it a requirement for farmers to grow hemp because of its versatility. That changed in 1970 when hemp was lumped with marijuana and put onto the Controlled Substances Act. Until February 2014, no one has been allowed to grow hemp in the U.S. because it was considered a Schedule I drug, alongside its cousin, pot. Before that happened, hemp was used to create rope, sails and clothing. In fact, the word canvas comes from the word cannabis. Hemp contains virtually no tetrahydrocannabinol
(THC), the psychoactive drug found in marijuana, even though the two come from the same plant. Hemp is defined as the stalks, stems and sterilized seeds of cannabis sativa that contain less than 0.3 percent THC concentration, dry weight, and marijuana is the leaves, flowers and viable seeds of the same plant. So how did hemp get rolled into the same joint as marijuana when it has no psychoactive ingredients?
EARLY REEFER Let’s go all the way back to the early 1900s, when the Mexican Revolution ended. According to PBS, people traveled from Mexico and into the U.S. and brought marijuana for recreational use with them. Once the drug became associated with the new immigrants, fear of both started setting in. According to Sunil Aggarwal, M.D., Ph.D., a cannabis researcher at New York University and a University of Washington graduate, William Randolph Hearst, a newspaper publisher, printed sensationalized stories to spread fear about marijuana and the violent tendencies of its users. The Hearst newspapers “began to use race-laden lan-
guage to frighten people about cannabis,” Aggarwal said in the 2014 documentary “Hooked: Illegal drugs and how they got that way – Marijuana”. The film was originally aired on the History Channel, but it can also be found on YouTube. [ more HEMP page 6 ]
County sheriff’s office cool on hot pursuits BY ERIC MANDEL emandel@covingtonreporter.com

There are few instances where police must weigh risk versus reward more than with high-speed pursuits. For King County, in the battle between public safety and crime reduction, the former ideal wins more than one-third of the time. “Sometimes the risk outweighs the value of continuing a pursuit,” said Covington Police Chief Kevin Klason. “…There’s always another day.” According to the King County Sheriff Office’s pursuit review database, officers terminated pursuit of eluding vehicles 36 percent of the time over the last three years. While that doesn’t mean everyone who runs from the law gets away scot-free, Klason said there are some people who know they can bypass the directive of a police siren and flashing lights by not stopping. “Career criminals are very well aware of that,” he said. Instances of prolonged police chases are uncommon in King County. The Sheriff ’s Office reported 368 pursuit incidents from January 2012-15. A high major-
ity of those pursuits, 88 percent, lasted fewer than five miles — 64 percent less than two miles. The pursuits end for a variety of reasons, but the most likely result was collision (78). Among the reasons officers terminated the pursuit, the most frequent was “danger outweighed need to apprehend” (50), followed by “violation did not warrant risk of pursuit” (41) and “officer lost sight of suspect vehicle” (33). The database lists only one fatality from pursuits over the last three years. On Sept. 30, 2014, a sheriff ’s deputy engaged in a threeminute pursuit with a vehicle wanted in connection with a shoplifting incident earlier in the day in Covington. The chase reportedly reached speeds up to 80 or 90 mph before the suspect vehicle crashed into a pickup truck on the 32800 block of Southeast Auburn Black Diamond Road. The suspect was killed in the crash, and three others were injured — including the pickup truck driver who sustained a broken leg. Even more recently, on the night of Jan. 16, a SeaTac deputy chased an allegedly stolen vehicle for ap[ more CHASE page 8 ]

Setting household goals during Super Bowl Sunday lege and they don’t have TVs in student housing, nor will she even realize it’s Superbowl Sunday. I have goals, and I don’t mean field goals. Most notably my goals are to keep track of everything I lose. As of this writing the game hasn’t started, so by talking about losing, I’m not predicting anything. There are things I misplace, most notably a user manual for my sleep apnea machine. Last week on my website, I wrote about losing it, which elicited more comments and phone calls than I have had in awhile. People were not so much concerned about my loss, but determined to make sure I never lost it again by giving me tips on where they stash their various manuals. Gretchen Leigh

O
nce again it’s Superbowl Sunday. I really got into it last year, buying lots of snacks from Costco for just the four of us. However, hindsight when buying snacks for only four people, I should have bought them at a regular-food sized store; we were eating those freezer treats for months. None of us are sports fans, but I felt we should take the opportunity to join the rest of the state in a traditional rite; a moment in history. I’m over it. Sure, I’ll have the game on while I scrapbook some family photos. My husband will probably watch it in spurts between working on some car project, my youngest will be doing homework in her bedroom, my oldest is away at col-
Community News and Notes 4-H hosts live discussion about legislative issues High school students from across the state will host the first live 4-H Virtual Town Hall Meeting to connect and initiate discussion with lawmakers, citizens and peers at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 17. Issues including gun control, minimum wage, coal trains and genetically modified crops will be addressed during the live videostream, which will be available on YouTube at http://www.tiny.cc/KYCVTH. Questions will be taken on Twitter (#wakyg2015) and from the live audience.
As a mother I spend a lot of time looking for things I’ve mislaid. I’ll literally have something in my hand one minute only to be searching for it the next. Just yesterday I assembled a collection of pictures for my oldest daughter’s baby album, then immediately lost them. I searched for about ½ hour, gave up and moved on to wait for them to resurface on their own. After an hour or so I happened upon them – I had put them in the section where I needed them to be. Isn’t that the way? Put something away and it’s hard to find because stuff doesn’t usually get put away. The suggestions for redeeming my manual ranged from putting it under the object it belongs with to finding it online. I do have a place for manuals, but decided since it wasn’t the manual I needed, rather the phone number I had written on the front, that I should put it in a handier place. I remembered re-homing the manual. Because I only use it for the phone number I decided to store it in a place where I could reach out and touch it immediately. Here, a few months later, I forgot where I put it. I did, however, remember I felt like a genius when I did it. After some major sleuthing, using all
the tips I gleaned from my readers, their advice indirectly helped me find it: one reader suggested I look under the machine, my husband called me and told me he had seen it recently. I got up to check under the machine, because although it’s a small machine we sometimes forget about things we see all the time, which then made me realize if my husband had seen it recently it had to be in an obvious place. It was. But as in the retrospect I garnered from shopping for Superbowl snacks last year (this year I’m just making chicken nachos), I probably could have just written the phone number down in a place where I keep all my phone numbers. Now, if only I could remember where that is.

The scholarship includes: • $2,500 payment made directly to the college of choice in 2015 • The opportunity to be interviewed for a summer internship at Cedar Grove in the summer of 2015 and every summer thereafter while the student is in college To apply, students can visit: http://cedar-grove.com/about-us/grants-donations Priority consideration will be given to students who attended school in the Tahoma School District since kindergarten.
my community was very significant and would be highly beneficial to all girls in Maple Valley,” Pendleton said in a press release. “I played softball growing up and it shaped who I am today. Maple Valley has a huge need for more programs for girls, and softball is becoming ever more popular among young athletes.” Pendleton said her goal with the local program is to give girls an opportunity “to learn and practice teamwork, dedication, hard work, and above all being an active participant in their community.” “I hope that the girls learn to

A total of 11 students graduated from the Kent Phoenix Academy, with six on hand for the winter graduation ceremony Jan. 29 in the school’s library. The graduates received their high school diplomas surrounded by family, friends and representatives from across the district. Principal Merrilee Lyle told the six students who participated in the event, “You have earned your diploma and nobody can take that away from you,” she said. “We are all so proud of you.” Deshawn Jackson-Bentley lead the Pledge of Allegiance and Cierra Willaford’s graduation speech focused on life lessons learned and wishes for the future through quotes from Dr. Seuss. In addition receiving her high school diploma, Itzel Rivera was wearing the KSD Seal of Biliteracy. Gov. Jay Inslee signed the State Seal of Biliteracy bill into law last year. The Seal of Biliteracy, Bill 6424, recognizes students who have attained proficiency in both English and one or more other world language by high school graduation. Itzel plans to pursue a career in the medical field and will begin taking classes at Green River Community College in March. Interim Superintendent Dr. Tony Apostle told the students to push themselves as they work charting their path in life. Kent Phoenix Academy offers four unique high school programs to students in the Kent School District. Each program has a different approach and focus for students who want a learning environment different from a traditional high school.

Learning when to say goodbye
Sometimes it’s just time to say goodbye. For me, that moment is now, as my Southeast King County odometer has runneth over. My last day with Covington-Maple ValleyBlack Diamond Reporter is Feb. 9. I will be continuing my journalism career closer to my apartment in Capitol Hill at a variety of community newspapers in Seattle. My one-year stint with Sound Publishing felt like a long ride — in a good way. I learned a ton. And I’m not just talking about in relation to the communities of Covington, Maple Valley and Black Diamond. There were hundreds of hours of podcasts on my 1.5 hours of daily commuting — being pulled into the 1999 murder of Hae Min Lee on Serial, tapping my fingers on the steering wheel to the storytelling beats of Snap Judgment, blasting through episodes of Radiolab and turning my mind off with the pop cultured sportsmen at Grantland. Then came encyclopedias of oddball knowledge from my co-workers. I learned more about the history of religion, horse racing, the film industry (Dennis), Disney (Kathy) and the benefits of veganism (Rebecca) than I’d ever imagined. Staff Writer Eric Mandel

But yeah, there was also all the writing, which hopefully you enjoyed. I biked with a pair of unapologetically optimistic Mormons, vented about an infuriating traffic ticket and spread the facts behind a pair of mayor scandals. I also bought an engagement ring and proposed days prior to my fiancee deploying to Africa. I grew both personally and professionally with
this job and I’d like to thank you, the readers, for inspiring me do what I love: tell people’s stories. It’s an opportunity I don’t take for granted. This isn’t my first newspaper goodbye and hopefully won’t be my last, either. Perhaps we’ll meet again during a catastrophe or major event. If we do, I’ll keep passing along what I’ve learned. Until then, stay tuned for the next episode.

He figured at first it was a plane making a very low approach to land at the town’s airport, which he thought was odd. Next he assumed the lights must be a helicopter or a drone, but there was something weird about the movements. “It was three orange lights moving independently,” Dunn said. “At first I rationalized it was a drone, but they were moving too rapidly.” Once I finally realized this was a different kind of story, I had to decide if Dunn was a regular guy, not a wacko like me. He came to the office in Friday Harbor and we spent some time talking. He was a very sensible, intelligent man. Dunn is a retired architect and private pilot, which meant he had a good understanding of the way an aircraft would approach the airport. That is when the story got interesting. Dunn had contacted air traffic control at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. The controller told Dunn there was a helicopter listed as being in the area, but it was 45 minutes after the sighting, Dunn said. Dunn contacted Peter Davenport, director of the National UFO Reporting Center who suggested he contact the local media (that’s me) to see if anyone else saw the light. After The Journal published the story several people sent emails about the same lights.
Now, I have to admit this is just plain fun. Few stories I do can be described in that manner. The intriguing part of the news business is I never know what will be coming around the corner. One day someone is calling for my well-groomed scalp, and the next it is an alien doing the moonwalk. While driving back from the Islands I began considering the deep implications of UFOs, aliens and why I was having so much fun with outer space (fun and me just can’t be right). A ferry ride that probably lasted too long allowed me to imagine a TV world in the nottoo-distant future where the top Super Bowl ad might be for the website, “FindYourAlienGirlfriend.com.” “Think you’re a baldy head? Your alien girlfriend knows better. Call 1-800-milky way now. “ Tell me that won’t cheer up any Super Bowl fan suffering through a deflated pass. Another interesting point was, the day Dunn came to the office CNN published a story about the Air Force UFO files being released. The story stated John Greenewald has put all the documents together and posted it to his website, “Project Blue Book Collection.” I haven’t had a chance to spend any time on the site, but I plan to and I intend to keep in touch with Dunn. After Super Bowl XLIX it might be a good time for Seahawk fans to look to the sky for some relief.

I found some fans and maybe aliens Last week I wrote a story for the Journal of San Juan Islands and I think I’ve finally found some fans. I wrote about a UFO sighting in Friday Harbor on San Juan Island. It’s the first UFO story I have ever written and, amazingly, no one is calling demanding I be replaced with a well-dressed mannequin draped in apparent hair. I received a call from Jim Dunn late in the day on Jan. 19, while I was sending pages for the Journal. He told me he had a story he wanted to discuss. I told him I was sweating a deadline and asked if we could talk the next day. There was something about the conversation that interested me and I hoped he would call. Fortunately, Dunn called back the next day. At first I thought he wanted to talk about a problem in his neighborhood or with some goofball city rule. It took me a moment to get it through my thick fog that he was talking about a UFO sighting. Dunn said on Jan. 15 at about 6:15 p.m. he saw three orange lights over the main street of Friday Harbor – Spring Street.

Fire Marshall Scott Webster said in a press release that cooking fires are the number one cause of home fires. “Stay in the kitchen while frying or grilling food,” Webster wrote. “If you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove. If you are baking food, check it regularly, remain at home and use a timer to remind you that you are cooking. Keep oven mitts, wooden utensils, food packaging, towels, paper away from the stovetop.”
Crime and Fire Community News and Notes SHERIFF’S DEPUTY ARRESTED FOR HARASSMENT A King County Sheriff’s Office deputy was arrested Sunday for felony harassment.

KENT FIRE DEPARTMENT RECEIVES $102,000 GRANT MULTIPLE FIRE CALLS IN MAPLE VALLEY MAPLE VALLEY FIRE & LIFE SAFETY Maple Valley Fire & Life Safety responded to fire calls on Jan. 19 and Jan. 20, neither of which resulted in injuries. Crews responded to a reported residential structure fire at 2:28 p.m. on Jan. 19 on the 21400 block of 184th Avenue Southeast. Occupants of the home had safely evacuated upon firefighter’s arrival. Crews worked the fire from the exterior before gaining access into the home. Because of a lack of fire hydrants in the area, they used a water shuttle operation. The house sustained “significant damage,” with an estimated loss of $160,000. The cause of the fire was accidental. On Jan. 20, firefighters responded to a report of smoke at 6:38 p.m. on the 21900 block of Southeast Wax Road. Crews found the apartment filled with smoke. They forced entry and found food burning in the oven that had been left on. There was no property damage.

The Kent Fire Department RFA and the Washington State Council of Firefighters received a Safety and Health Investment Project (SHIP) grant. The $102,313.00 grant is entitled “Best Practices for Reducing Firefighter Risk of Exposure to Carcinogens” and will focus on: • Creating a “best practices” manual outlining standards to reduce exposures. • Developing a model policy which local jurisdictions can adopt. • Promoting cancer awareness within the fire service through a publicity campaign. Oncologists and other experts say that the chemicals and other toxins inhaled, absorbed, and ingested by firefighters over the course of a career are the causes of some cancers. Firefighters are more likely to develop testicular, multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, or prostate cancer than virtually any other profession.

Like Hearst, who used his newspapers to promote fear about marijuana, filmmakers did the same. Reefer Madness, produced in the late 1930s, was a propaganda film used by the government to incite fear in parents to ensure their kids didn’t get their hands on the “killer weed.” Around that same time, lawmakers passed the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 (marijuana spelled with an ‘h’ reflects the Mexican Spanish etymology according to the Oxford English Dictionary). The act didn’t make marijuana illegal, however, it sought to control it by implementing excise taxes and requiring anyone who wanted to grow, possess or distribute it to register with the federal government. The act also included penalties for people who did not pay the taxes and/or register with the government. The penalties were steep, up to a $2,000 fine (nearly $33,000 in today’s currency) and five years in prison. But there was a problem. The government still needed hemp for the war effort, so production of cannabis continued. According to PBS, the government promoted hemp cultivation with its “Hemp for Victory” program during World War II. For this reason, under the Marihuana Tax Act, the federal government’s definition of pot excluded the parts of the plant, hemp, that were used for the production of goods. The first line of the act states, “…The popular and therapeutic uses of hemp preparations are not categorically prohibited by the provisions of the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937.”
passed into law in 1970. Marijuana was added to the Schedule I list in that act. Schedule I drugs are considered to have a “high potential for abuse… no currently accepted medical use in treatment” and have “a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision.” The definition of marihuana (still currently spelled with an ‘h’ in today’s Controlled Substances Act) remains the same as it did in the Marihuana Tax Act and doesn’t encompass hemp, technically speaking. When asked whether the Drug Enforcement Administration distinguishes between hemp and marijuana, spokesperson Jodie Underwood said via email, “The CSA (Controlled Substances Act) does not.” The DEA’s interpretation puts the THC-free plant on the Schedule I controlled substances list, despite it not being a drug. According to a UCLA Law Review article from 2009, the Controlled Substances Act “does not make growing hemp illegal; rather it requires prospective growers to obtain registration from the DEA.” The article also stated the DEA “unilaterally rejects almost all such applications.” The only two sites that were issued permits between 1999 and 2007 were using hemp for research, and one of them was put under such restrictive conditions that planting the crop was very expensive, the article said. Christine Kolosov, the author of the law review article, argued the DEA cannot “legitimately deny or delay licenses to cultivate industrial hemp.”

According to Vote Hemp, a nonprofit and advocate for hemp, if hemp cultivation is allowed under state law and a farmer in that state is registered and certified by the state’s department of agriculture, that farmer does not need a license from the DEA to grow hemp for research purposes. The Farm Bill also defines hemp separately from marijuana, but Underwood didn’t explicitly say whether the Farm Bill supersedes the Controlled Substances Act. In the language of Initiative 502, the same distinction between hemp and marijuana was made. It stated, “(marijuana) means all parts of the plant Cannabis, whether growing or not, with a THC concentration greater than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis.” Farmers in the U.S. are still not allowed to grow hemp commercially or to produce hemp products for consumers. Currently, all hemp and hemp products intended for retail sales are imported — mostly from Canada. In Washington, however, hemp is still not grown even for research purposes. Unless the DEA starts distinguishing hemp from pot, or the Farm Bill is found to override the Controlled Substances Act, industrial hemp will still not be legal to grow in the Evergreen state until local lawmakers say it’s OK. That approval could happen this session if Senate Bill 5012 gets the green light in Olympia. The bill would make hemp legal to grow commercially and manufacture into goods. It would put hemp on the same level as any other agricultural product, such as cotton or wheat. SB 5012 would also allow Washington State University to “study the feasibility and desirability of industrial hemp production in Washington.” Sen. Brian Hatfield, D-Raymond, is the primary sponsor on the bill but he has bipartisan support from several Republican senators including Jim Honeyford and Doug Ericksen.

cians, photographers, performers, painters, sculptors and artists of all kinds are quietly (or noisily) following their passion, honing their skills and looking for an audience. On that note, a handful of Black Diamond artists are gathering each month to organize. They are planning ways to establish a strong art presence in Black Diamond, both to encourage local artists, and to provide a means to display or perform. All artists, professional or amateur, are invited to join. The group meets at 7 p.m. every third Tuesday of each month at the Black Diamond Bakery Coffee Shop. Artists can bring samples of their work and ideas to help collect the artists of our city and build a strong presence of available talent in our community. The next meeting will be Feb. 17 at the Black Diamond Bakery.

Getting your heart in shape might sound like a daunting task, especially if past attempts have been less than successful as far as healthy behavior is concerned. Suggestions? Take it slow, work every day toward a healthier lifestyle, and talk to your health care provider about ways to get healthy. Start by getting exercise on a daily basis (walking with kids or pets counts). Learn how to control cholesterol, and make wholesome eating choices. Healthy eating will help reduce blood sugar, which is important in overall health. Take steps to manage blood pressure. Lose weight if that is an issue. Too much fat in the body increases the likelihood of high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, and diabetes. Stop smoking. And track your new path to a healthy lifestyle with a journal to look for ways to improve health and also to celebrate achievements. Your heart is an incredibly hard-working muscle. It pumps about 2,000 gallons of blood as it contracts and expands about 100,000 times per day. That is why keeping it healthy is so important. The first step toward getting heart healthy is getting a physical. To schedule an appointment, please call Southlake Clinic at (253) 395-1972.

New case of measles in King County Local public health officials have confirmed a measles infection in an adult international traveler who was in King County during the contagious period. The traveler, who was unimmunized, was most likely exposed in the individual’s home country.
POTENTIAL MEASLES EXPOSURE Most people in our area have immunity to the measles through vaccination, so the risk to the general public is low. However, all persons who were in the following locations around the same time as the individual with measles should: • Find out if they have been vaccinated for measles or have had measles previously, and • Call a health care provider promptly if they develop an illness with fever or illness with an unexplained rash between Feb. 1- 15. To avoid possibly spreading measles to other patients, do not go to a clinic or hospital without calling first to tell them you want to be evaluated for measles.
February 6, 2015 [7]
What’s blooming at the Arboretum?
MEASLES VACCINATION SCHEDULE Children should be vaccinated with two doses of the Measles Mumps Rubella (MMR) vaccine. The first dose should be at 12 through 15 months of age, and the second dose at 4 through 6 years of age. Infants traveling outside the United States can be vaccinated as early as 6 months but must receive the full two dose series beginning at 12 months of age; more information is available at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website. Adults should have at least one dose of measles vaccine, and two doses are recommended for international travelers, healthcare workers, and students in college, trade school, and other schools after high school.
Festivities for the Chinese New Year begin on Feb. 19 through March 5. This year is one of the years of the goat. Specifically, 2015 is the year of the wood goat, which occurs every 60 years. Typically, families celebrate together for the Chinese New Year, starting with a traditional New Year’s Eve feast called the Reunion Dinner and continuing through the Spring Festival, which has a history of more than 4,000 years.
People born in the year of the wood goat are amicable, gentle, compassionate, shy and creative. According to Chinese astrology, goats have their own lucky things, including numbers (2, 7, or numbers containing 2 and 7); days (the 7th and 30th of any month); colors (brown, red and purple) and direction (north). Equally interesting are unlucky things to be avoided, such as the colors green, blue and black, numbers 6 and 8, the southwest direction and the third, sixth and tenth lunar months. A goat’s lucky flowers are the primrose and carnation, which begin to bloom in February.
LOCATIONS OF POTENTIAL EXPOSURE TO MEASLES Before receiving the measles diagnosis, the traveler was in the following public locations. Anyone who was at the following locations during the times listed was possibly exposed to measles: • Jan. 25 8 a.m. - 10 a.m. Sheraton Hotel (common areas), 1400 6th Ave, Seattle • 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. Sea-Tac Airport, Main Terminal and Concourse D If you were at any of these locations at the times listed above and are not immune to measles, the most likely time you would become sick is between Feb. 1 and Feb. 15.

Measles is a highly contagious and potentially severe disease that causes fever, rash, cough, and red, watery eyes. It is mainly spread through the air after a person with measles coughs or sneezes. Measles symptoms begin seven to 21 days after exposure. Measles is contagious from approximately four days before the rash appears through four days after the rash appears. People can spread measles before they have the characteristic measles rash. People at highest risk from exposure to measles include those who are unvaccinated, pregnant women, infants under six months of age and those with weakened immune systems. For more information about measles, a fact sheet is available in multiple languages at: www.kingcounty.gov/healthservices/health/communicable/diseases/measles.aspx

[ CHASE from page 1] approximately 90 seconds, before the suspect collided with another vehicle in Des Moines. The lone occupant of the stolen car fled on foot and escaped, but the male driver of the other vehicle, which was also occupied by two children, had serious injuries and was transported to the hospital. The King County Sheriff ’s Office protocol gives officers flexibility to terminate any pursuit that makes the deputy feel uncomfortable. Termination of a chase comes without repercussions based on the county’s pursuit policy in the general orders manual. Any identifying information a deputy obtains is broadcast by 911 communications to other agencies that could reengage in catching the alleged criminal. Sgt. DB Gates, spokeswoman for the King County Sheriff ’s Office, said a supervisor terminates chases a majority of the time, though there are no stats in the database that track supervisors’ interventions. Gates said the policy is clear for supervisors that if the pursuing officer is unable to provide dispatch information about what is going on - including location, direction of pursuit, suspect vehicle description, speeds and the nature of offense — that the pursuit must automatically be terminated. “I think our pursuit policy stands up,� Gates said. “We are allowed to pursue in lots of situations. I don’t think the bad guys
are thinking they are getting away from us, that we are backing off.� Much like the protocols in King County, supervisors with the Washington State Patrol are given the ability to call for termination of a pursuit at any time. Like in other jurisdictions, patroller’s consider factors that include the suspect’s driving recklessness, traffic conditions, weather conditions and the alleged offense that could ultimately be charged. “It becomes very dangerous very quickly,� said Trooper Dominic Ledesma. “You have to weigh the options.� Ledesma said terminating a pursuit sometimes means turning off the sirens and continuing vigilance at

mall and around the city of Chicago for a red light and driving with a suspended license violations, are anything but the norm. But the likelihood of a chase on a simple citation is even further from reality in the city of Seattle. The Seattle Police Department tells officers to only pursue for robberies, murders or felony level assaults — never for any traffic crime or misdemeanor. During pursuits, the officer must also be sure the person who committed the crime is actually in the car. “We do not pursue,� said Detective Drew Fowler, Seattle Police spokesman. “We are ordered to pull over, turn off our lights immediately and write what we observed.� Fowler agrees with the standard, saying the risk of injuring an innocent person is not worth the reward — especially for relatively minor traffic infractions. “The reality is that the suspect, if we are chasing them and they continue to drive erratically and dangerously, they have turned themselves into a 2-ton missile that is guided probably by poor decision making,� he said. “It is a huge risk we take with the suspect, the officer and the public at large.� Fowler said he doesn’t know if it’s common knowledge that Seattle officers won’t pursue small crimes. “The huge majority of people in Seattle are law abiding, normal people,� Fowler said. “If they are get-

ting pulled over for speeding or a traffic violation, they generally might know they are in the wrong.� But this idea that police count on people making the safe, appropriate response to being pulled over, while, ironically, those who disregard the rules could face no consequences, leads to a fairly obvious question: Why should anyone ever stop for a simple driving infraction? Ziad Youssef, a traffic defense attorney in Bellingham for 11 years, said about half of his attempt to elude cases end in a serious accident. Beyond that, endangering another person on the road adds an automatic one year enhancement of jail time. Meanwhile, a first-offense reckless driving charge maxes out at 90 days in jail. “It’s absolutely not worth it,� Youssef said. “My clients would take it all back.� Youssef estimated that one out of 10 of his clients tells a story of getting away from police. Not all of those stories would necessarily be truthful or even involve eluding police. But getting away short-term doesn’t mean police stop searching. “Getting away means the officer has your license plate,� he said. Youssef said most people who flee have warrants out or are felons, but occasionally someone is simply caught up in an adrenaline rush or is a young driver who fears explaining a speeding ticket to his or her parents. He said most people don’t run from cops for a reason – and it doesn’t matter if they won’t get chased. “I think that’s because most everybody has respect for the rules of the road,� he said. Generally, people who try to flee are desperate. “They are really dangerous people,� he said. “They are going to do it whether there is a policy or not.�

Time to order seeds and hunt down hellebores
Q. In my neighborhood
there is a pink rhododendron that I noticed flowering on the same Sunday that the Seahawks won the
A
. Keep cheering because the name of the earlyblooming (as opposed to the Seahawks who are late bloomers) rhododendron is called “Christmas Cheer� and this compact rhododendron with pale pink blooms is usually in flower by February or March. A bit of mild winter weather can coax it into bloom on a balmy January
day but unlike the name implies, I have never seen my Christmas Cheer rhododendron flower during December. You can find this evergreen rhododendron at local nurseries or ask that they order one for you. A plant that cheers in the winter is a great way to be a 12. Better yet, order a dozen early bloomers and start a winter garden. Marianne Binetti
title. This means it was in bloom in January. Is this another January miracle? Sign me, Seahawk gardener
The Compleat Home Gardener
Spring is starting to emerge this week as the green tips of snowdrop bulbs and crocus show up in area gardens. This means it is time to order seeds, hunt down hellebores to add to the landscape and decide that this is the year you will enjoy your garden more. Garden shows and nurseries also unwrap a fresh season of classes and lectures and now is the time to sign up. Here are some early season garden questions:
Q
. I saw a magazine article about forcing bare branches of flowers into bloom. They showed how to force forsythia, quince and cherry tree branches.
King County News and Notes
Binetti to present in Sumner Marianne Binetti will present “Early Bloomers – Spring Starts Now� during a talk at 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 7, at Windmill Garden in Sumner. Register at www.windmillgarden.com or call 253-863-5843.
Will this work in our area of Western Washington? When is it safe to cut the branches? A.M., Bonney Lake
A
. Yes, forcing newlypruned whips or thin branches from forsythia, quince, cherry and even magnolia will work in our climate and the time to get snippy is now. The trick is to keep the cut branches hydrated, so split the stem with a knife or remove some of the side bark on the bottom third of the cut branch to help the harvest
soak up the water. Once cut, place the vase of twigs in a cool garage or dark room until you see signs of color from the buds. You can also collect pussy willow branches and bring them indoors to enjoy this week.
Q
. Is it too late to prune my roses? I am seeing green leaves sprouting from the branches. T.C., Auburn
A
. It is not too late – it could be a bit early. I usually prune roses right after Valentine’s Day but you can
wait until mid-March or even April to prune your roses. Different varieties have specific likes when it comes to how much to prune off but all roses benefit from removing the three Ds - anything dead, damaged or diseased can be cut off any time of the year.
Marianne Binetti has a degree in horticulture from Washington State University and is the author of “Easy Answers for Great Gardens� and several other books. For more gardening information, she can be reached at her Web site, www.binettigarden.com.
Despite a diverse and varied program offering, the community center’s focus can be narrowed down to four things – prevention, health and wellness, community and the emergency warming shelter. Those pillars will be highlighted at the community center’s annual benefit breakfast scheduled for Saturday, March 21.
DAWSON NAMED NEW DIRECTOR The Greater Maple Valley Community Center installed Syd Dawson as president of the organization’s Board of Directors at their January Board meeting. Dawson, who took the reins from Les Scott, has been a member of the board since 2012. According to the center, Dawson has two primary goals for his one-year term. First, he is committed to growing the board through the recruitment of local individuals who have specific skills that will complement those possessed by the current members. For more information on this effort, contact Center Director Mark Pursley at (425) 432-1272. The second task is the dissemination of the “Four Pillars� of the community center.
KING COUNTY ADOPT COUNTY-COMMUNITY AGREEMENT Elected officials from the nine founding cities of the King County-Cities Climate Collaboration – which represents 63 percent of the county’s 2 million residents – celebrated formal adoption last month a joint county-city commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The collaboration also welcomed two new member cities – Bellevue and Burien. The event was hosted at the Weyerhaeuser-King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way, which has recently undergone major energy renovations, including the largest installation of a made-in-Washington solar array. Replacing the 20-year-old boiler also reduced the facility’s energy consumption.

King County Council takes action to cap carbon emissions The Metropolitan King County Council Monday gave its unanimous approval for legislation that will advance King County’s goals to combat climate change in two critical ways. First, the adopted legislation, authored by Councilman Rod Dembowski, will require King County’s Wastewater Treatment Division and Solid Waste Divisions to each operate on a net carbon neutral basis. Second, the legislation establishes a Transit Carbon Offset Program at Metro Transit, making Metro Transit carbon off-
sets available for purchase by individuals, governments, and private entities. The new Transit Division Carbon Offset Program is the first carbon credit program for any transit agency in the United States. “This is a win-win ordinance. It’s good for our environment and good for our economy. It will make our two utilities carbon-neutral and provide for further investment in Metro Transit, to take even more emissions out of the air” said Dembowski, the prime sponsor of the legislation and chair of the council’s Transportation, Economy and Environ-
ment Committee. “I felt that we needed to take significantly stronger, proactive steps today to address the pressing challenge posed by climate change and local air pollution.” The new legislation requires Metro Transit to hire an independent third party organization to validate the greenhouse gas reductions from transit offsets. Following the independent third party validation, Metro Transit carbon offsets may be available for purchase by individuals, private entities or governments, including the wastewater and solid waste divisions, to
achieve their own carbon reduction goals. Additionally, the ordinance requires the wastewater and solid waste divisions to purchase transit carbon offsets before purchasing other offsets from outside King County if transit offsets are comparably priced. Revenue from the sale of transit offsets is required to be used by Metro Transit solely for the purposes of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by providing additional transit service hours or investments which further reduce emissions beyond standard operations.
