COVINGTON | MAPLE VALLEY | BLACK DIAMONDREPORTER

At their October 13 meeting, the Covington City Council approved an ordinance for manda-tory garbage and recycling pickup in the city.

Th e increase in rev-enue about $17,000 for mandating residents to have their garbage and recycling picked up is pennies (for) municipal budgets, said Regan Bolli, city manager.

He said the city had two key deciding factors when making this decision. One, he said, was to help prevent nuisance violations in association with trash and solid waste in peoples yards. Th e other factor was to help clean up the city with the addition of recycling pickup.

Bolli said each garbage

can, no matter what size the resident chooses, comes with a large recycling bin as well.

King County has a goal of 70 percent recycling, he said. Th is is an eff ort to help accomplish that.

Th e city has not offi cially adopted a goal for recy-cling, but is still working toward doing more of it.

If our landfi lls fi ll up later than expected, we

save money, Bolli said.

As far as nuisance reports go, the city has re-

ceived 16 complaints so far this year. Last year, it received 19 total calls to complain about trash nuisances.

Th e city has one part-time employee dedicated to investigating nuisance violations. Th e procedure for these complaints can be

Council approves mandatory garbage pickup for residentsEditors note: Th e Black Diamond City Council Position 5 candidates, incumbent Ron Taylor and

challenger Pat Pepper, an-swered three questions this week prepared by the editorial staff .

Ballots for the general elec-tion must be postmarked by Nov. 3.

QUESTION 1What is the No. 1 problem

facing the residents of Black Diamond over the next four to 10 years? What is your proposed solution? What will your solution cost the public and how or where will the funds be found?

Pat PepperThe No. 1 problem is YarrowBays

massive development plans. This devel-opment controls every other issue. We should use every available policy and

law to better control and manage develop-ment. We must avoid impacts, not just try to mitigate them.

Take transportation for example. Even if every proposed road improvement were built, we would all still be gridlocked by

YarrowBays additional 60,000 vehicle trips a day. And most of those proposed road projects arent even designed yet, much less funded.

Lake Sawyer is another example. Last year City Hall approved one of YarrowBays subdivisions with varianc-es and concessions that would increase pollution and flooding to wetlands that

feed into Lake Sawyer. Local groups like Save Black Diamond rallied and proved scientifically to the hearing examiner that the city erred in allowing the use of obsolete engineering standards. With no help from their elected representatives, citizens helped reduce some of the risk.

We need a City Hall that respects input from the people,

especially those hundreds of people who have spoken up at public hearings over the years about the excessive negative

impacts of the YarrowBay development.Our next step is to use every legal author-

ity that the city has to limit YarrowBays development to avoid gridlock, environ-mental degradation and crushing new taxes for infrastructure. State law com-bined with the energetic application of local regulations and conditions suggest effective steps to use this authority. Steps have not been taken because City Hall has lacked the focus and will to do so. The vot-ers can change that on Nov. 3.

Ron TaylorThe most critical issue facing Black

Diamond is financial stability. Making sure that we maintain a balanced budget is paramount. Past councils did not have good foresight or long range planning. I and other council members instituted long range budget projections that were instru-mental in showing corrective measures that were needed to keep portions of the city budget from going into deficit. We must not ask our citizens for bailout money and we must manage our revenue with all the expertise that we can muster.

The problem with any bedroom com-munity like Black Diamond, which is pri-marily residential and has little commer-cial activity, is that it costs more to pro-vide services than the revenue generated. Commercial property and commerce, on the other hand, generates more revenue than is required to provide those services. Thus, a healthy mix of residential and com-mercial property is what sustains the local government. We have the residential but we sorely lack the commercial activity to stimulate our local economy. We must take measures to invigorate and invite business to Black Diamond. Deserved or not Black Diamond has gained a reputation for not being business friendly and making their permit process difficult. We must change that reputation. Good government should be a benefit to its citizens, not a burden.

QUESTION 2Why are you the better candidate for Black

Diamond City Council over your opponent? Describe what experience or expertise makes you the best candidate.

Ron TaylorI have eight years of experience as a leader

in Black Diamond government. I have an intimate working knowledge of the city pro-cesses, budget, needs and pitfalls. I will be fully engaged for citizens from day one and do not need a long learning curve to come up to speed. Also, my career in maintaining large scale infrastructures with budgets in the millions gives me understanding of large projects and budgets.

I have a lifelong history of leadership and community service. Having trained and served in firefighting and law enforcement services. I have an excellent working knowl-edge of police and fire services and what is necessary to support them. I have helped the city identify and define an alarming lack of sufficient fire protection and gone on to lead the charge to correct this. We have to step up and address this service that has been over-looked and allowed to atrophy for decades.

I work well with a variety of people. The current council is working well together and has been accomplishing good, productive legislation. Its a team that we should keep together. Still, I do speak up and challenge conventional thinking when it is in the best interest of the citizens that elected me. As a steward of the citizens tax money and the policies that affect their lives and property I refuse to allow myself or others to not be accountable.

Pat PepperIt is time for fresh energy for Black

Diamond and the issues facing us all. It is time for civility, collegiality and community.

I have professional qualifications and diverse experience solving problems, over-coming difficulties, generating creative solu-

Black Diamond Councilman Craig Goodwin sent a letter to the editor Oct. 16 addressing his arrest and charge for driving under the infl uence on March 13 in Maple Valley.

Th e Reporter published the story of the incident in the April 3

edition aft er Maple Valley Pros-ecutor Th omas R. Hargan replied by email Goodwin would be charged with a DUI.

A phone message was left for Goodwin and an email asking for a comment on the arrest and charge. He did not re-spond to either the phone message or email.

Goodwins letter was the fi rst comment he has off ered on the

incident.In the letter, the

69-year-old Goodwin stated he pleaded guilty to the DUI. Th e Maple Val-ley Municipal Court con-fi rmed he pleaded guilty to a DUI June 1, paid a $940 fi ne and attended

an alcohol and drug information school. According to the court he is on probation until June 2017.

Goodwin was informed by email Th e Reporter does not publish letters to the editor from candidates during an election. He was informed a story would be published since the letter was his fi rst statement about the charge.

Goodwin was arrested at about 4 p.m. March 13 by two King County Sheriff s deputies at Southeast 271st Place and state Route 169, near Four Corners.

According to the police report

he had left Th e Mint in Enumclaw and drove toward Maple Valley.

Th e King County Sheriff s Offi ce incident report cited fi ve witnesses to Goodwins erratic driving. A 22-year-old man and 19-year-old woman in a vehicle behind Goodwin called 911.

Th e couple followed him to Maple Valley. When he stopped at a stoplight the man jumped out of his car and removed Goodwins keys when he told the man he was going to drive away.

tions and a tenacious work ethic. I want to do more to hold developers accountable and protect us against irresponsible development practices.

I have had the great privilege of talking, working and exchanging ideas within our Black Diamond community. I would be honored by your vote.

I am a retired local public school educator having worked in the both the Kent and Tahoma School Districts. As a long time volunteer and community leader, I have held board, chair, and president positions for a local arts community non-profit the Evergreen City Ballet and the Renton Municipal Arts Commission. As a member of the Black Diamond Planning Commission, I have earned a reputation for excellent detailed analyses and commitment to preserving Black Diamonds quality of life and rural character.

Some of my qualifications are graduate of the Pennsylvania State University, B.A. and M.A. in education; Pepperdine, Taft Institute of American Government; Seattle University, administrative cer-tification.

QUESTION 3Describe your ideas, plans and/or proposals concerning

how the City Council and city will need to deal with the two YarrowBay master planned developments, The Villages and Lawson Hills. Is there a concern of the city facing litigation regarding the development and City Council action?

Pat PepperThe master plan development is subject to literally hundreds

of technical and legal decisions over its life. This includes sub-division and building permits that must comply with all legal requirements that are applicable. How our city administration makes these decisions will determine the scale, timing and impacts of the development.

The city should not let the developer opt out of promised impact fees totaling over twenty million dollars. The council needs to take action soon, or these funds will be lost and the taxpayers will pick up the tab.

The Master Planned Development Review Team should be re-focused and better managed. Recommendations submitted by

regional land use experts to community members earlier this year should be fully implemented.

The city is pursuing the assumption of water rights from portions of the Covington Water District. That takeover would effectively transfer several million dollars of costs away from YarrowBay and put them on the backs of ratepayers.

The city must update its storm water manage-ment standards from 2005 to the newest 2012 stan-

dard. We want to ensure that YarrowBays development will not pollute our wetlands, streams and Lake Sawyer.

Of course there is concern about potential litigation. However, the costs to the public of not taking action far exceed the risk of litigation. When you add up the costs associated with longer commute times, higher taxes and fees for every public service, and reduced property values, the costs of defending our rural town pale by comparison.

Every public service, every tax bill, and everything we like

about our community is directly related to how we manage and control future land development.

Ron TaylorWhether you agree with them or not the master planned

developments have been signed and sealed and are here to stay. Our job at this point is to maintain diligent oversight of the conditions of the developments to assure that all requirements are met.

There are a number of provisions and conditions in the devel-opment agreements that will help us shape and direct the prog-ress. But, we have to be paying close attention and make sure that we exercise those measures. For example, we have to make sure that YarrowBay does every traffic study that they are required to do and only allow development to proceed when traffic issues are mitigated.

We also have to closely watch our economic health. Our bud-get is already stretched. We have to make sure that development indeed pays its own way because we cannot afford a burden on the city or citizens. Current models show that this will be a chal-lenge. Further, we cannot afford to bank on money that might come into the city through one time sources like permits. When those funds do come in it will not be a sustained money flow. We cant be lured into a false sense of security from one time rev-enues. Therefore we must keep our budget balanced on its own merits so that it can remain healthy independent of development.

I will not support any action that is not legally defensible. It is not realistic or necessary to make YarrowBay go away. On the other hand, I will not be intimidated or back down when it comes to the good of our citizens and health of the city. I was elected to first and foremost be an advocate for the citizens and health of the city.

Goodwin comments on DUI charge

[ more GOODWIN page 14 ]Craig Goodwin


It seems pretty obvious Washingtons next state auditor wont be the current one, Troy X. Kelley.

But then who might it be?No candidate had stepped forward,though

Republican state Sen. Mark Miloscia of Federal Way may do so.

And that wont be a shock. In fact, its overdue as Milos-cia began recruiting himself when the political career of Kelley nose-dived earlier this year in a hailstorm of crimi-nal charges.

Ever since federal agents searched Kelleys Tacoma home in March then accused the fi rst-term Demo-crat of a slew of white collar crimes like tax evasion and money laundering, Miloscias appeared driven to steer him out of offi ce and position himself to become his successor.

Miloscia was one of the fi rst soloists in a chorus of political leaders calling on Kelley to resign. And hes used his position as chairman of the Senate Accountability and Reform Committee to keep the auditors alleged exploits in full view of the public.

Miloscia organized an April 1 hearing no joke and invited Kelley to testify. Kelley blew him off and Miloscia lamented about the damage to public confi dence in the auditors offi ce caused by the embattled auditors behavior.

Its not personal. Miloscia is a by-the-rules guy. Th roughout his tenure in the state House and now Senate hes been a stickler for measuring the performance of government and embracing the need to make it effi cient and eff ective.

Its not partisan. In 2012, Miloscia ran for state auditor as a Democrat and lost, badly. He fi nished fourth in the four-person primary. He watched

Kelley advance to the general election and defeat Republican James Watkins.

Th is time the dynamics will be quite diff erent. He enlisted in the Republican Party in 2014 and won his Senate seat. If Miloscia runs, he stands to be the best known and maybe only GOP hopeful in the fi eld in 2016.

On the Democratic side, the picture is far less clear. Th e party had three candidates in the 2012 primary and none right now.

One name getting tossed around is Rep. Derek Stanford, D-Bothell. He confi rmed as much.

Im looking at it but its too early to make a decision, he said.

Stanford seems well-suited for the job that re-quires fact-checking the fi nancial record-keeping of other public offi cials and not humiliating those whose errors you uncover.

Hes easy-going and blessed with a blend of nu-

meric knowledge and legislative nerdism. Hes got a masters in mathematics, a PhD in statistics and is vice-chairman of the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee which examines the inner-workings of government bureaucracy.

Stanford is also vice-chairman of the House Capital Budget Committee which is in transi-tion. It needs a chairman since longtime leader, Rep. Hans Dunshee, D-Snohomish, is now at the helm of the House Appropriations Committee. If Stanford is off ered the post, it probably dashes any chance of his running.

Th e leader of the state Democratic Party isnt worrying about the lack of candidate yet.

Were looking at the race, said Jaxon Ravens, chairman of the state Democratic Party. We take all statewide races seriously and we will have a serious contender for this race.

It should be obvious it wont be Kelley.

Freedom! What a wonderful poweror is it? I considered that paradox after speaking with one of my Chinese students from Shanghai. I had asked him what had struck him most about being in America. His answer was, all the freedom we enjoy in this country. It was such a contrast to his countrys control under socialist capitalism.

Yes, we have freedom in this coun-try, but like everything carried to an extreme, too much of it can be just as bad as too little of it. Let me illustrate.

I showed a segment of an Internet video called, How to Run a Political Campaign: Campaign Strategy to my Civics and Government class at Green River College. I showed my students the video because I wanted them to know how it feels to run for public office. I thought having that perspective would make the lectures

and discussions about government more realistic and relevant. It had

that effect.One of the points the

narrator in the video made was that politics is an area where there arent a lot of rules for what to do and what not to do. He went on to say that becoming a candidate is

not for the faint of heart. The situa-tion can change drastically with one misspoken word, or one decision not carefully thought through.

Voters have very little patience for a candidate who has not carefully considered why he/she is running and why they believe they are the right person for the job. There is Donald Trump, though, who seems to defy this adage.

Trump has been blunt, honest, and politically incorrect, stating his true feelings about issues. As a result, early Republican voters have found

his freedom to speak as he pleases refreshing. This seems to be counter-intuitiveto do the opposite of what is culturally and politically accept-able, and to be rewarded with soar-ing poll results and money filling Trumps campaign coffers.

Trumps sense of freedom has turned controlling cultural rules on their head, but has it made America a better nation, or one dragged back into historical stereotypes about race, women, and immigration? Is free-dom a blessing or a curse in these cases?

While freedom is part of who we are, freedom also allowed a mentally ill person to walk into a classroom at Umpqua Community College and shoot and kill eight students and a teacher for no reason, and then kill himself. Freedom presents its haz-ards, too.

It forces the media to reconsider if the names of shooters should be published to prevent the fame and

attention that the shooter attained from setting a negative example to others who crave notoriety.

Freedom by itself can be very destructive. It needs to be melded with self-control, concern for oth-ers, and a sense of balance and perspective. Of and by itself, it, like any virtue, can turn ugly very quickly.

To prevent just such a thing from happening was the goal of the Founders of our Constitution: to balance freedom with the need for order. The Constitution was written to protect individual liberty and at the same time provide structure to protect society from ruthless people who abuse their freedom. In the long run, their foresight has been highly successful.

My Chinese student was in awe of our freedom, as well he should be. The Peoples Republic of China over-emphasizes control and the result is corruption and poverty.

But we in America need to think about the negatives of liberty as well as its positives as we live our lives. Any virtue becomes evil without limits. Freedom without restraint can destroy us.

THYROID HEALTHDo not let the delicate, butterfly-like shape of the

thyroid fool you. This gland is a powerhouse that helps regulate many very important functions of the body. Thats why when the thyroid is not working correctly, the results can be quite debilitating. Whether it is over- or under-active, the symptoms of a malfunctioning thyroid can be and often are overlooked, usually because they can creep up little by little and can often be written off as normal. However, symptoms like unexplained fatigue, sore or tingly legs, sadness with no cause, dry skin, a change in taste buds, and anxiety should all be taken seriously and discussed with your healthcare provider. Thyroid problems can be managed with medications. Women over 35 are particularly at risk for developing thyroid problems.

Because many symptoms of thyroid disease may mimic other diseases and conditions, the best way to know for sure if you have a thyroid condition is to ask your provider for a TSH test. This simple blood test can determine your thyroids condition.

For more information, please call (253) 395-1972. Our Covington clinic is located at 27005 168th Place SE. Our primary care providers are supported by a network of multi-specialty physicians and services.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Vote for Mary Jane Glaser

Please vote to re-elect Mary Jane Glaser as a school board director for the Tahoma School Dis-trict. Mary Jane has served the Tahoma community for 18 years as a board member. She has worked tirelessly for the students of our school district. Mary Jane deserves your vote.

I first met Mary Jane in the early 1990s when she was a parent volunteer at Cedar River Elementary School where I taught sixth grade. She was the co-president of the PTA and an art docent. I saw firsthand that she is a hardworking volunteer who is always willing to do more than required. Her top priority is helping all students receive the best education possible.

When Mary Jane was appointed to the school board to fill out a term she began attending as many meetings and trainings in the district as possible in order to educate herself about the issues she was deciding in her role on the school board. She was the first board member to take advantage of the opportunity to go to train-ings with staff members to learn about new programs first hand. We are very fortunate that other board members have followed her lead.

Mary Jane is one of the most caring people I know. She is concerned about the students and staff of the district. She listens to all points of view before she makes decisions. She is open to different ideas. Mary Jane is an ideal board member because of her knowledge of educational issues and her willingness to build a consensus to help our dis-trict grow. She has served on the board during years

of tremendous growth and has had to make difficult decisions.

Our district and its stu-dents have been fortunate to have Mary Jane on our school board. Please vote for Mary Jane Glaser for re-election to the Tahoma School Board of Directors.

Save Black Diamond- A Network of Many

The Watsons letter last week was very thoughtful. Thoughtful, but wrong.

Save Black Diamond is a large thriving grassroots network of people who live in and around Black Diamond.

My husband Glenn and I initially worked with Save Black Diamond be-cause we want to protect the rural character of the Green Valley Road. Since then, our concerns have expanded to include the whole of the Enumclaw Plateau and the quality of life of its residents. At the northern end of the rural plateau is the lovely rural town of Black Diamond.

Save Black Diamond facilitates the work of all the individuals and groups that share the same passion for our regions quality of life.

Everyone can Save Black Diamond. Just find that thing you love and get busy protecting it. Maybe it is the elk or the eagles that are seen in various parts of town. Maybe it is the little downtown area with the museum, bakery, meat store, Mikes Deli and the Eagles Hall. Maybe it is how there is affordable housing that

actually have yards. Maybe it is the learning and positive experiences the kids get at Black Diamond Elementary School. Maybe it is how you can see the night sky.

A powerful idea is much more important than a group.

When you attack Save Black Diamond you are attacking the hundreds of people who participate at hearings, sign petitions, work in the commu-nity, and share the story about how we dont have to accept YarrowBays questionable vision of our future.

Theres room in Save Black Diamond for you too, Keith. You are a good guy. You just need to believe that irresponsible growth isnt inevitable. There is always an op-portunity to make things better for us and our grandchildren.Judith CarrierAuburn

Goodwin lectures, vote for Weber

Incumbent Lectures, Criticizes Black Diamond People

Your article about Craig Goodwin last week con-firmed what so many of us have come to learn about the years he sat on the Black Diamond Council.

But his name calling was over the top, even for Craig. Stupid, unethical, illegal and irresponsible he wrote. Really Craig?! Is that what you think about the people you want to represent?

The people voted over-whelmingly in the last two City Council elections to hold developer Yar-rowBay accountable, and they voted against giving the developer any spe-cial tax breaks or favors.

But Goodwin seems to think there is something wrong with the peoples common-sense approach and with their desire not to radically quintuple the town in 15 years.

The incumbent raised the bankruptcy red her-ring again while he is doing absolutely nothing about passing a Govern-ment Facilities Charge to make the developer pay for its own develop-ment (growth paying for growth). Instead he would rather transfer over $20 million in costs from the YarrowBay to the taxpay-ers.

Craig listed transporta-tion as his number one problem. His number one solution: A new commit-tee. Transportation has been an issue since day one when he voted in fa-vor of the master planned development so now that its an election year he wants to talk tough on it? And dont forget the $20 increase in car tab fees he voted for this year.

Brian Weber sounds a lot safer and more reason-able. He says what we all know the YarrowBay development must be managed and controlled better on every single is-sue, or the developer will take any variance or cost break from the city, put the money in their own pocket and pass on costs to taxpayers.

Im voting for Brian Weber.

Tiffany CopertinoBlack Diamond

Vote for Pepper and Weber

A few weeks ago Pat Pepper and Brian Weber hosted a meet and greet at the Black Diamond Eagles Club.

Lots of people, lots of

energy. A lot of people concerned about our future.

Maybe thats what the yard signs mean when they say Defend our Ru-ral Town and Fresh New Energy.

Its about the people, not just the candidates. Its their energy, and its their commitment to defend our rural town.

After four years of play-ing defense and caving in to legal threats from big developers, its time for the people to get repre-sentation that matches our view of the future, along with the commitment to make it reality.

I like our rural town. Im tired of elected of-

ficials telling me if I dont like big development plans, move. Lets stay and fight with new energy!

Pat Pepper and Brian Weber gave amazing speeches. Full of facts and common sense. No gener-alities, no patronizing, and above all, no excuses.

Weve got our chance, folks. Lets vote.

LOCAL VOICES

The problem with a beautiful fall day is one is compelled to work outside. I just wasnt feeling like doing garden work, but I suddenly had the urge to rebuild my campfire pit.

There was nothing wrong with the actual fire pit, it was the seating that was a bit awry. People kept tipping backward because the ground was uneven around the pit. I decided it was time to remedy it.

My only obstacle? My husband.I had a vision. I had a dream. I

didnt need him to help me with the physical work, but I wanted to rent a rototiller.

That wont work, theres too many rocks.

Rocks are good, it will keep the

ground stable.Youll have to pick

the rocks out because youll never be able to mow over it. What are you going to do with the rocks?

I dont need to go that deep, I just need to loosen the soil on the

top. By the time Im done there wont be any grass to mow anyway.

I dont want to start another project with ALL the other projects weve got going.

What other projects.The shed rebuild.What about the shed? I have

nothing to do with the shed.It needs to be painted and door

frame supports cemented.Well, we cant paint it now, its

wet from all the rain and needs to

dry out a couple days, nor would I be in the way if you decide to work on it today.

So after taking the fire pit apart and attempting to dig it out myself, I determined I just couldnt do it without some mechanical inter-vention. My husband was flailing around trying to decide what to do with himself, so I said, The neigh-bor is home, why dont you ask him if you should buy cement on our way to rent a rototiller.

It wont work.Then the neighbor, who built the

shed, came over to assess what hed need to make a door support and then, get this, my husband told on me.

Gretch wants to dig around the fire pit and make it level. She

The third week of October is a good time to search out and destroy newly laid slug eggs, especially while planting bulbs or harvesting from the vegetable garden. The eggs will look like tiny pearls in clusters of 50 to 100. Look under stones or mulch and along the edge of lawns is often where the eggs lay hiding.

Q. I loved your article about year-round container gardens last month but want to know how long my perennials can survive in a large container that is 24 inches wide and about as deep. I have grown hosta, euphorbias and evergreens in this pot for years but the plants always seem to decline in health after a few years. T.H., Olympia

A. Potted perennials and shrubs can get too chilly, too dry and too hungry after several years trapped in a container. October is a good month to remove over-grown potted perennials and shrubs, score or cut into the crowded root ball and replant them into your garden beds. Do not wait until spring because freezing winter weather

is very hard on a root-bound plant trapped in a pot. If the potted plant is an evergreen shrub you can try root pruning or shortening all the roots by one third. Then add fresh potting soil and replant the old plant back into the con-tainer. Every potted perennial will appreciate a blanket of compost mulch this time of year to help insulate the roots from the coming cold. If you do decide to empty your pots now,

there is still time to replant with fall flowers like mums, winter pansies and ornamental cabbages and kale. Add a few mini pumpkins as a mulch and poke a cut branch of maple leaves or autumn berries into your new fall planting and celebrate the change in seasons.

Q. What plants need to be fertilized in the fall? I did feed my lawn a fall-and-winter lawn food a few weeks ago and it looks better than it has in years. K.L., Renton

A. Fall is a good time to fertilize the lawn but please do not fertilize any other plants in October. The shorter days and colder nights are Mother Natures way

of coaxing plant life into a long winter nap so they will not suffer from the freezing weather ahead. Fertilizing keeps plants awake and producing tender new growth. Spreading compost or mulch on top of plants is preferred over sprinkling a fall fertilizer. Compost is not a fertilizer but rather a soil conditioner that will provide some slow-release nitrogen when the weather warms up in spring.

Q. When it comes to fall clean up, what perennials do I cut back and what do I leave alone? I have some ornamental grasses that still look great when do these need to be cut back? B., email

A. Heres a rule of green thumb when its brown, cut it down. If its green, leave it be. This means you can leave the ornamental grasses, sedum autumn joy and Rudbeckia seed heads for the birds to enjoy all winter but in early spring when you see the forsythia in bloom cut back the brown clumps of ornamental grass to make way for the new spring growth. Do not prune evergreen grasses like black mondo grass, sedges or carex. Always collect the soft damp leaves of hosta and cut back del-phiniums now to discourage overwintering slugs. October is a good month to dig up and remove perennial plants or shrubs that did not perform well or were just too demand-ing. Fill the empty spot with fallen leaves and debris to rot over the winter so the soil will soften up and be ready for a new plant in the spring.

October is time for slug patrol

POLICE BBBLLLOOOOTTTTTTEEERRR

The Department of Labor and Industries has cited and levied fines against the four construction contractors that were involved in the Bonney Lake state Route 410 construc-tion project accident that killed a local family.

On April 13, John and Van-essa Ellis, with their 8-month-old son, Hudson, were driving beneath the SR 410 overpass on Angeline Road when the concrete barrier that was being cut fell onto their truck.

According to L&I, WHH Nisqually Federal Services of

Tacoma was the general contrac-tor for the pedes-trian improvements on the overpass. Nisqually contracted with HighMark Con-crete Contractors of Buckley to work with the concrete.

HighMark then contracted with Staton Companies of Eugene, Ore., to remove a portion of the overpass in order to expand it to include a pedestrian walkway.

Staton then contracted with Hamilton Construction of Springfield, Ore., to actually cut the barrier.

L&Is jurisdiction extends only to worker and workplace safety, which is what the department focused on in its investigation.

Staton was fined $58,000 for

one willful and two serious violations for exposing work-ers to danger while demolishing the con-crete barrier on the overpass, according to an Oct. 19 L&I press release.

According to L&I, a willful violation can be issued when the department has evidence of a plain

indifference, a substitution of judgment or an intentional dis-regard of a hazard or rule, the L&I release stated.

A serious violation is given if there is a large probability that worker injury or death could re-sult from a hazardous condition.

L&Is investigation into the incident found that Staton was worried about the possibility of the concrete barrier falling onto

the road below, but continued with cutting the barrier.

The investigation also found that Staton failed to provide a demolition plan to its subcon-tracting company, Hamilton, and that Staton did not follow procedures outlined in the de-molition plan they failed to give to Hamilton.

Hamilton was fined $14,700 for two serious violations for exposing workers to the same hazards as Staton Companies, the L&I release said.

Nisqually was fined $8,400 for another two serious violations for not ensuring a workplace free from recognized hazards and for exposing workers on Angeline Road to the possibility of an unplanned collapse.

Highmark was fined $4,900 for only one serious violation for not protecting workers from recognized hazards.

...GOING GREEN

This has been quite a summer. An early spring, record number of days without rain and high tem-peratures had both good and bad results for our landscapes.

It was a terrific year for garden-ers but not so great for our water bills. In my yard, many trees and shrubs were roughly one to two weeks ahead of last year. How do I know? I actually record the dates of flower-ing and bud break on certain residents of my landscape.

It was a bumper crop on three of four apple trees as well as for the populations of apple maggots and coddling moths. My flowering plums had hundreds of plums instead of the usual few dozen or less.

When driving around, some of the victims of the dry summer have become visible such as rhododendrons and fir trees that have perished due to the lack of water. Hopefully, Mother Nature will treat us differently this winter and next year.

Let us now transition to this fall and winter.

Preparing for the storm seasonHomeowners concerned about the tall

trees around their residences and neigh-

borhoods should begin to think about taking some important precautions before the storm season arrives. The following tips will help to ease concerns about the safety of your trees.

1. Survey your own trees. If new clearing has exposed trees to high winds, if construc-tion activity has altered a trees

growing environment, if a tree has recently fallen or if some type of structural defect is visible, a hazard assessment would be pru-dent.

Be aware of the location of trees and structures in relation to the direction of the prevailing winds. In the Puget Sound area, winds tend to originate from the south or southwest. However, local conditions may alter the direction. For example, some of the strongest winds in the Buckley and Enumclaw areas originate from the east or northeast.

2. Pay particular attention to recent tree failures. Trees that fall and expose their root balls often have a root disease. When the loss of anchoring roots reaches a criti-cal point, they no longer will support a tree during high winds and saturated ground

conditions.Old stumps and root balls can often pro-

vide clues as to what caused a tree to fall. If a root disease is discovered, adjacent trees may be infected since the diseases spread by root-to-root contact. Suspect trees can be inspected by a trained eye to determine if a root rot is present.

3. Conduct a hazard assessment. If you are truly concerned about a trees safety, an inspection by a certified arborist or tree risk assessor will help to identify any structural, health or environmental issues that may render a tree hazardous.

While it is impossible to predict if, when or what kind of failure may occur, a trees long-term health and safety can be evaluated. In the majority of the hundreds of assessments I have performed, little or no action has been recommended unless a root disease or struc-tural defect is discovered.

4. Pay particular attention to weather forecasts. Forecasts for most wind-storms generally have been on the mark. Oftentimes, forecasters will predict when and where severe gusts may be anticipated.

5. Consider altering your lifestyle for a few hours. Many residents tell me theysleep in basements or carry on activities in sections of the home away from trees in their yards when severe conditions are forecast.

6. Beware of doorbell arborists. I am sometimes asked to provide a second opinion about recommendations made by individuals who canvass neighborhoods soliciting tree work. In nearly all cases, a different perspective has been provided that saved trees and thousands of dollars for homeowners.

Fortunately, few residents are injured in their homes by falling trees. But we have all heard about close calls. So if you are con-cerned about trees during severe weather, consider the above steps to prepare for the approaching storm season.

1/2 cup unsweetened soy/cashew/almond milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 tablespoon agave

Add vanilla and agave and stir to

combine.

Test the skillet by splashing a little

soaking it too much.

Lay into hot skillet, cook for a few minutes

(until golden), and fl ip.

Top with vegan butter I used Smart Balance

with fl axseed oil and syrup or maybe just some

powdered sugar.

*Chickpea water, also called aquafaba, is the latest craze in the vegan and egg-less baking world. Three tablespoons of this stuff replaces one egg in almost every single recipe on the planet. Simply drain

a can of chickpeas and preserve the water or brine that comes out. Save the chickpeas for homemade hummus or salad toppings. You will likely have more than 1/4 cup in one can, so try experimenting with the

rest in diff erent recipes. After whipping it for a few minutes, it turns white and fl uff y like whipped egg whites which makes it perfect for meringues, cake, and even homemade marshmallows.

Keith and Judy Watson for encourage-ment and friendship and for introducing me to Veterans Advocate Lois Mezek. When my dear husband passed away, Lois drove me to the Social Security Office, to Seattle to get death certifi-cates and made all the arrangements at Tahoma National Cemetery; Nonie Colby of Black Diamond Columbia Bank for

all her help; Becky Olness for the deli-cious meals she has delivered to me for months; Dorothy and Howard Botts for compassion and support; Nancy Caldron of the Maple Valley Presbyterian Church Grief and Support group who has offered me help, encouragement and healing.

Again, thank you to all these wonder-ful people for giving me so much during a very difficult time.

LETTERGoodwin stated in the opening of his letter he was

responding to the DUI charge because of personal attacks on incumbents.

He added, Yes, I was so charged and I am more than happy to address this openly.

Goodwin went on to write, Two principles that we have long held in our family include taking responsibility for your actions and learning from your mistakes making change in your behavior to make sure this same mistake doesnt happen again. In my case, I chose to plead guilty to the charges no plea bargain. I was guilty. Second, there is no room for alcohol in my life I have not had a drop of alcohol since March 13 and will not for the rest of my life. However painful this experience has been for my family, including having my name drug through the newspapers, for me this has been a blessing. No accident, no injuries and an opportunity to have an important teaching time with my grandchildren. I am certainly the better person for it.

Goodwin was appointed to City Council Position 4 Feb. 5 on a 3-1 vote. The council seat opened when then-mayor Dave Gordon resigned Nov. 25. Carol Benson, who held Position 4, was appointed mayor.

Goodwin served on the City Council from 2010-13, but did not run for re-election.
