Last Thursday’s four-hour Black Diamond City Council meeting left tempers hot and questions unan-swered as the council approved a myriad of new meeting rules and regulations.

The new rules include reduc-ing the number of standing coun-cil committees from five to three, removing the number restriction that allowed no more than two council members on a council com-mittee, broadening the powers of the mayor pro tempore and electing a council president.

The rules, known as Resolution 16-1069, were approved by coun-

cil members Erika Morgan, Brian Weber and Pat Pepper. Council members Janie Edelman and Tamie Deady voted no.

The rules were written by Pepper and Morgan and were going to be introduced during a special meet-ing on Jan. 12, but the meeting was cancelled.

According to Morgan, Weber and Pepper, the new rules are intended to encourage and increase public participation in how the city is run.

“The public is possibly disdain-fully listened to. Their input isn’t incorporated into legislation, main-ly because people don’t have enough imagination to see how that can be done,” Morgan said during a Friday phone interview. “A lot of those rule

changes are to see what we can do about combat-ing the problems that citizens saw in their commu-nication with the city itself.”

Deady and Edelman were vocally against the rule changes, along with City Attorney Carol Morris, who warned council mem-bers that adopting the rules could open the city, and individual coun-cil members, to being sued.

“Those council members chose to go counter to both the insurance pool’s concerns and the attorney’s issues with what they were trying

to pull,” Edelman said during a phone interview Friday. “I think it’s dangerous. It’s putting the city at risk. It’s putting the City Council at risk.”

Although the new rules were passed, Morgan stat-ed they were “imperfect” and the council should take the time to go over the rules and make revisions during future workshops.

Morgan, Weber and Pepper passed Resolution 16-1072 Thursday, which calls for the council to review

Ballots were mailed to voters in the Sumner, White River and Carbonado school districts last week, each asking for millions of dollars and containing promises of improved educational facilities.

Also included in each package was a voters’ pamphlet, explaining what each district plans to do with the money, should the bond mea-sures be approved. Ballots are to be returned by Election Day, Feb. 9.

In each case, it will take a 60 per-cent show of support for the bond request to be approved.

Here’s rundown of the three local ballot measures.

Sumner School District: what’s proposed

The biggest request is being made by the largest local district, which counts two high schools and three middle schools among its ros-ter of facilities.

According to the official voters’ pamphlet the bond money would: “build a new elementary school and early learning center, replace Emerald Hills Elementary School, expand and modernize Sumner High School, expand Bonney Lake High School and Mountain View Middle School, and make middle school field and District-wide safe-ty and security improvements.”

Bond supporters note that schools in Sumner and Bonney Lake are already exceeding capac-ity and another 2,000-plus students are anticipated during the next decade.

Sumner School District: financial impacts

The district is asking for $145.6 million to be collect-ed, in the form of property taxes, during a 20-year span.

If passed, property taxes would

Faced with a tight budget and an ever-increasing number of emergen-cy calls, East Pierce Fire and Rescue commissioners voted unanimously on Jan. 19 to place an emergency medical services levy lid lift measure on the April 26 ballot.

Washington voters approved the EMS levy in 2011, allowing fire dis-tricts to tax 50 cents for every $1,000 in assessed property value.

The district wants the EMS levy lid to be lifted because taxpayers are no longer paying the full levy amount due to climbing property rates.

According to Washington Administrative Code 458-19-060, the EMS levy is subject to the same 1

percent growth limit as other prop-erty taxes, including the annual property tax that cities renew during the budget season.

However, property rates have risen faster than 1 percent every year, meaning the levy rate has been reduced accordingly to balance the equation and max out growth at 1 percent.

In 2015, the EMS levy rate was reduced to 46.3 cents per $1,000 of assessed value, and was furthered lowered to 44.7 cents this year.

Lifting the levy lid will reset the levy to its full amount of 50 cents per $1,000 of assessed value.

Home and land owners with a total of $250,000 in assessed prop-erty value will pay $1.25 more per month in property taxes, or $15 a year.

For every additional $100,000 in assessed value, taxpayers can expect to pay 50 cents more per month, or $6 more per year.

The 6-cents boost in the levy will provide East Pierce Fire and Rescue with close to $620,000, money “we can sorely use,” East Pierce Fire Chief Bud Backer said during the last commissioners meeting.

The department plans to use the boost in tax revenue to train a fifth medic unit in the Milton and Edgewood area, offset rising supply and equipment costs and cover elec-tion costs, Backer said.

The levy lift will only reset the levy for 2017 – starting in 2018, the EMS levy may be reduced again due to the 1 percent growth limit.

Some people came to find out what resources were available in the coun-ty. Other came to help a family member, or two, or three. But e v e r y o n e who went to Pierce C o u n t y ’ s presentation on hoard-ing came away learn-ing how vast the mental disorder can be, and that they were not alone.

T h e c o u n t y ’ s Aging and Disability Resources pre-sented “Hoarding: The Hidden Problem Exposed” Jan. 20 at the Sumner library with Terina Baker, founder of Clutter Cutters.

The purpose of the pre-sentation was not only to provide accurate informa-tion about hoarding ten-dencies and resources for those affected, but to also combat the misinforma-tion spread in the media, especially reality TV shows like “Hoarders” and “Hoarding: Buried Alive.”

“That first thing I get when I get a phone call is, ‘I’m not like those people on TV,” Baker said. “What you see on TV is complete and utter squalor, and that is not what we are talking about.”

Between 1.4 to 2 million people across the U.S. have

hoarding tendencies, said Baker and Bob Riler, Aging and Disability Resources community outreach spe-cialist. “That’s 2 to 5 per-cent of the population, which doesn’t sound huge until you put it in perspec-

tive that it’s about one in twenty individuals,” Baker said.

It is esti-mated that there are 3 4 5 , 0 0 0 people with h o a r d -ing ten-dencies in Washington a l o n e , a l t h o u g h Baker and Riler said

hoarding tendencies often go under reported, some-times due to a fear of being compared to the stereo-types seen on reality TV.

Collecting vs. hoarding

According to Baker and Riler, there is a big dif-ference between collect-ing, a normal and com-mon human behavior, and hoarding.

They defined collect-ing as the acquisition, and eventual disposal, of items. It’s often an organized activity and special care is taken to keep the collec-tion tidy.

In contrast, hoarding is the acquisition of items without the disposal, and is often much less organized than a regular collection.

Telltale differences

between collecting and hoarding, Baker said, are that the items someone with hoarding tendencies keep may appear to be of useless or limited value and living spaces are so cluttered that they can’t be used for their intended purposes.

Mental disorderBaker said hoarding used

to be classified as a form of obsessive-compulsive dis-order but recent research shows that isn’t always the case. However, in 92 per-cent of diagnosed hoarding cases, there is at least one other co-disorder that may cause or worsen the hoard-

ing tendencies.Bipolar disorder, demen-

tia and brain trauma are among some of the other disorders that are often co-diagnosed, but Riler said depression, “is the most characteristic co-disorder.”

Additionally, many people with hoarding ten-dencies don’t often realize

how bad their situation is, Baker explained. Instead, many people with hoard-ing tendencies rely on vari-ous, and inventive, thought processes to explain their situation to others.

Some of the excuses Baker and Riler have ran into include sentimentality, a fear of forgetting (infor-mation, memories, etc.) and that what they have will eventually become of some use to them or some-

the rules and procedures. Edelman and Deady voted against the resolution.

Changing council leadership

The majority of the rule changes shifted many powers from Mayor Carol Benson to the rest of the council, or to Mayor Pro Tempore Morgan and the Council President Pepper, who was elected during the meeting.

Under the new rules, the mayor no longer has the power to appoint council members to the remaining three council standing com-mittees. Instead, committee members are elected by a majority vote of the council.

The mayor also no longer holds the power to appoint council representatives to intergovernmental councils, boards and committees; that power is again reserved by a majority vote.

At first glance, it seems like the mayor is no longer able to cast a tie-breaking vote in some city issues, as section 8.4 has been com-pletely removed from the rules. However, section 7.2.4 remains in the code and still outlines the mayor’s right to cast tie breaking votes. The reason section 8.4 was

removed from the rules and regulations, Pepper said in a phone interview, was remove a redundant section in the rules.

The council president and mayor pro tempore have been granted the power to approve the council agenda instead of the mayor.

Additionally, any three members of the council can now vote to cancel a meet-ing, given that proper notice was given to the City Clerk, a power that was held only by the mayor (or pro tempo-re in the mayor’s absence).

Parliamentarian pow-ers have also shifted from the city attorney, currently Morris, to the city clerk, Brenda Martinez. The par-

liamentarian’s role in coun-cil meetings is to determine if council rules have been breached or if an issue is not adequately addressed by Robert’s Rules of Order.

Council and city staff relations have also changed; the stipulation that council members may not “influ-ence” city staff in the admin-istration of personnel, the awarding of contracts, the selection of consultants, the processing of development applications or purchase of city licenses or permits has been removed from council procedures.

A stipulation in the same section prohibiting staff from “coercing” city staff remains.

A whole section pro-hibiting council members from changing or inter-fering with the operating rules and practices of city departments has also been removed, sparking concerns that the council has expand-ed itself beyond its legisla-tive duties and granted itself limited executive powers.

Insurance concernsWith the passage of these

new rules and regulations, it is possible the city of Black Diamond, and individual council members, are open to litigation without insur-ance coverage, wrote Roger Neal, program manager of the Risk Management

Services Agency of Association of Washington Cities, which provides Black Diamond with insurance.

The email was read out loud to council members during the Jan. 21 meeting.

According to Neal, the Association of Washington Cities is concerned about the mixing of legislative and executive powers.

“Council needs to under-stand that their role is to set police, and it is the Mayor’s role to carry out that poli-cy and run the day-to-day operations of the city,” Neal wrote. “Many council mem-bers across the state think that it is their responsibil-ity to direct staff, and be involved with ‘running’ the city. This is clearly not the case, and the statutes are very clear about the need for separation of powers within a city.”

The email outlined the insurance agency’s other concerns, which include the new structure of the coun-cil’s Standing Committees and how the draft rules were created, as there may have been a violation of the Open Public Meetings Act.

“We concur with [the city attorney’s] concerns about the draft rules potentially, or actually being in con-flict with state laws,” Neal’s email continued. “If the City Council adopts these rules without making the modifications suggested, there is a good chance that in the event of a lawsuit related to the application of these Council rules, such as a violation of the Open Public Meetings Act, the [Risk Management Services Agency] will follow the provisions of the Coverage Agreement.”

Part II, Section 7 of the agreement states “bodily injury” or “property dam-age” that “arises out of the actual or alleged violation of the Public Records Act (RCW 42.56) and/or the Open Public Meetings Act (RCW 42.30),” are not cov-ered by the Association of Washington Cities.

Neal went on to write that coverage will be assessed and determined when a suit is filed.

Standing Committees and Special Meetings

Before the new rules were adopted by council, there were five standing com-mittees, each with no more than two council mem-bers; the Budget/Finance/Administration Committee, the Parks/Cemetery Committee, the Growth Management, Land Use and Planning Committee, the Government Operations and Administration Committee, and the Public Works Committee.

Under the new rules,

there are now three stand-ing committees; the Budget/Finance/Administration Committee, the Growth Management, Land Use and Community Services Committee and the Government Operations and Administration Committee, which absorbed the duties of the old Public Works Committee.

A former stipulation in each committee section stated the committee should work “in conjunction with City Staff” in consider-ing issues. That has been removed from the rules.

Additionally, there are

no longer any restrictions concerning the number of council members able to meet during committee meetings.

If three or more council members are elected to be on a Standing Committee and attend a commit-tee meeting, a quorum is formed, which means the meeting turns into a special meeting.

This requires legal notice to be made by the city to its residents about the meet-ing within 24 hours, or the meeting may be in violation of the Open Public Meeting Act.

Deady and Edelman expressed concern about quorum being formed at these special meetings, as did Morris.

“Now we are going to have three council mem-bers on all the committees. Which means, when you take action, under the rules, you are going to be taking action to vote for ‘do-pass,’ meaning you are taking final action on resolutions and other matters that come before the council,” Morris said at the Thursday meet-ing. “At these council com-mittee meetings, when you take final action, there’s nothing left to do. It doesn’t come back to the coun-cil because you’ve already acted on it… a ‘do-pass’ on a resolution by three coun-cil members means that the resolution passed.”

Deady and Edelman said during the meeting that they will not be participat-ing in any standing com-mittee where a quorum exists.

According to Morgan, Weber and Pepper, a “do-pass” recommendation on a resolution and ordinance is not the same thing as passing legislation through council.

“‘Do-pass’ just means ‘do pass on for consideration’. It doesn’t mean whether we agree or we disagree with it,” Morgan said in a phone interview. “You can pass things on for deliberation that you wouldn’t vote for.”

RULES FROM 1

www.courierherald.com

RESIDENTIAL BURGLARY: Police took a report the afternoon of Jan. 18 regard-ing a burglary at a Davis Avenue residence.

ARREST WARRANT: A Kibler Avenue resident told police Jan. 18 of concern over a large vehicle parked in the area, occupied by two men and a woman. An officer con-tacted the woman and found she was want-ed on a warrant issued by the Kent Police Department. She was transported to Maple Valley and turned over to Kent authorities. The vehicle was later moved, then spotted by police. A man was contacted and cleared.

COUPLE ARRESTED: Officers respond-ed the afternoon of Jan. 17 to the vicinity of Cole Street and Stevenson Avenue after hearing of a man and woman fighting. They

were contacted and the trouble initially was settled. However, prior to an officer’s depar-ture, they began fighting; both were arrested and booked for domestic violence/assault.

PROWLING: Officers took a report at 4:27 a.m. of two people prowling vehicles at a Chinook Avenue site. The two were con-tacted and taken into custody.

BAR FIGHT: Police took a report the afternoon of Jan. 17 of a fight in progress at a Griffin Avenue location, with combatants both in the bar and outside in a parking lot. Police contacted all involved and determined none wanted to press charges. All agreed to go on their way.

ILLEGAL ENTRY: A real estate agent went to a Garfield Street location the morn-ing of Jan. 17 to check a vacant property and discovered a key box was missing and the

increase. The district states the tax bump would be about 45 cents for every $1,000 of assessed prop-erty value. That means an additional $90 annu-ally on property assessed at $200,000.

For their investment, dis-trict patrons are told, the school system anticipates receiving approximately $6.3 million in impact fees due to development, plus an additional $27.7 million from the state.

White River: what’s proposed

The district is seeking nearly $99 million, with collections replacing a cur-rent bond that will be paid off at the end of the year. In both cases, the money is generated through property taxes.

According to the Pierce County voters’ pamphlet the bond money would: renovate major portions of Glacier Middle School; ren-ovate and increase capacity at Elk Ridge Elementary; replace the multi-pur-pose room and kitchen at Wilkeson Elementary; repair and upgrade Foothills Elementary and Mountain Meadow Elementary; constructing a new athletic stadium at White River High School; upgrade community play-fields; renovate the library wing at White River Educational Service Center; and upgrading safety, secu-rity, technology and equip-ment in all schools.

White River: financial impactsThe selling point for

bond boosters is that dis-trict property owners would see no increase in their tax statements. The present rate of $2.80 per $1,000 of assessed property

value would remain steady.If the bond measure were

to fail, taxes would decrease with the close of the current year.

Carbonado: what’s proposed

The small district, south of Wilkeson and the last stop before entering the national park, serves stu-dents in kindergarten through eighth grade. From there, families can send kids to any district, though most make the trek down-hill to White River High.

The district operates on a campus in the middle of town with its historic pri-mary building flanked by portables and a library/technology building. The voters’ pamphlet explains the request for money this way: “The capital improve-ments being proposed will provide for student safety, increased classroom capac-ity and an enhanced learn-ing environment, and include: modernization, upgrading and replace-ment of portions of the Historical School build-ing, installation of a new heating system with back-up generator, upgrading of the building to bring it into ADA compliance, upgrad-ing and modernization of the plumbing and electri-cal systems, upgrading of four classrooms to be acces-sible for STEM instruction, energy efficient upgrades to include replacement windows and LED light-

ing, pavement of parking lot to meet ADA stan-dards and light for evening events, water and sewer line upgrades, and moderniza-tion and upgrading of secu-rity and life safety systems.”

An intriguing element of the plan involves removal of a concrete ramp that extends across the front of the school and its awning. That would return the school to its original look. Inside, ambitious plans call for dropping the auditori-um floor/basketball court by several feet, making it accessible to all.

Carbonado: financial impactsThe bond request asked

district property owners to provide $1.75 million, with collections spread over the next 20 years. The collec-tion rate is estimated to be $1.80 per $1,000 of assessed property value; the district uses property assessed at $125,000 as an example, noting the additional tax burden would be $18.75 per month or $225 annually.

This new amount is more than offset, however, by a White River School District bond that Carbonado resi-dents have been contrib-uting to for the past 15 years; that indebtedness will expire at the end of the calendar year. The White River bond has a rate of $2.12, meaning tax pay-ments would decrease.

They would drop even more if the Carbonado

request is denied.

Carbonado: an added element

Unlike its neighboring districts, Carbonado will have a second item on the ballot – a traditional main-tenance and operation levy.

Unlike bond issues, which pay for facilities, lev-ies are used to provide edu-cational services above and beyond what state funding pays for. The voters pam-phlet notes the levy money would be used for “educa-tional programs and ser-vices, including teachers, instructional aides, nurses, librarians and other staff, technology support, athlet-

ics, arts, music and safety programs, textbooks and other classroom materi-als, and maintaining play-grounds, playfields and other facilities.”

The four-year proposal is billed as a replacement, picking up where an M&O levy passed four years ago leaves off. If approved, col-lections will range from $583,000 next year to $619,000 in 2019. The levy rate would be fairly steady during the 48 months, ranging between $7.21 and $7.24 per $1,000 of assessed property value.

If the M&O levy fails, tax rates would drop accord-ingly.-

If that happens, Backer said the depart-ment plans to ask the public to reset the levy again for 2019 and continue asking the public to reset the lid every other year.

The department could ask the public to vote on a multi-year levy lift measure, which would keep the EMS levy at its full rate of 50 cents, Backer said, but this way, the public has more control over the department’s funds and the department can build up trust with its constituents.

Backer said that lack of control and trust were two big reasons why the depart-ment’s maintenance and operations levy failed in August and November of 2014.

As for the fire levy approved by voters in 2008, East Pierce residents will contin-

ue to pay the full rate of $1.50 per $1,000 of assessed value.

The fire levy hasn’t depreciated because property rates were higher when the levy passed in 2008 than they are now. The levy will only start to depreciate after that benchmark is passed, like with the EMS levy – property rates are higher now than when the EMS levy was passed in 2011.

The department expects this levy to depreciate in the next year or two because property rates will have caught up to, and surpassed, 2008 rates, and the 1 percent growth limitation will kick in.

Depending on the department’s and the Pierce County Assessor’s calculations for the 2017 property rates, a final rec-ommendation for lifting the lid on the fire levy to keep it at its full rate will be made during the Feb. 16 commissioner meeting.

Approve White River School District bond

In 1968, the year our oldest child entered the Seattle school system, my husband Jerry and I decided that our priority to our family was to relocate away from the large city to a smaller community to raise our children. Our goal was to be able to move to the Buckley area which had been my home for 18 years and to be able to enroll our children in the

White River School District. In April of 1969 we realized that goal.

Since then we have been staunch supporters of the White River School District. We are parents to four chil-dren who have successfully complet-ed their elementary and secondary education at White River, continued on to higher education and have become successful members of their communities. Currently we have five grandchildren who are students in this district.

I know that much of my very strong support for our schools was ingrained in me by the active partici-

pation of my parents in the schools when I was a student at White River. They always voted for schools in the 1940s and ’50s, even when doing so presented a significant financial bur-den for them. They believed in and supported the White River School District long after I had graduated. For them, voting was a responsibil-ity, an honor and a privilege which they took very seriously. They taught me by example to do the same.

I believe there are many positives to be gained if we as a community suc-

I read an article somewhere last week and learned I am far more out of touch with reality than my daughter, Katy, has led me to believe.

I admit I don’t remember who the writer was or where I read it, but I am sure I am not making this up, whatever it is.

Let’s delve into it.

I have been using all the wrong words for longer than I can remember, which isn’t long, but it must be awhile – I think (I am trying to be very careful

not to use the wrong word so this column may be very short – depending of course on… the its, whatever… the its… the bad words that is… is… are… its).

Back to the subject, apparently there is a snotty spit barrel full of words I have unknowingly been hacking up when I talk and write. The problem is I can’t say what the words are because if I do an inappropriate word ticket will arrive in the mail with a picture attached of my infraction and my insurance rates will go through the… high thing over my head (I think the R word was on the “if you say that word we will all begin whispering about you” list).

The writer thankfully paradiddled out a parade of “do not dare say this or that” to be afraid of… and I am now duly afraid of… the its… whatever the its… the

P r e s i d e n t Ronald Reagan was a master politician. He created a conser-vative narrative about govern-ment that reso-nates with con-servatives to this day. The problem with Democrats, according to Drew Westen in his book, “The Political Mind”, is that they have no compet-

ing narrative; in fact, they have no narrative at all.

By examining Reagan’s mas-terful narrative, we can come to understand its power and its fal-lacies.

The Reagan narrative is set in the context of the Vietnam War and of the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s and 1970s.

According to Westen, a Democrat, the Vietnam War with its failures was placed squarely on the shoul-ders of the left. Many conserva-tives saw the burning of the flag as unpatriotic and downright treason-ous. The sponsoring of Civil Rights by Democrats in the 1960s turned many southern Democrats against their party and into the arms of the Republicans where they have resided ever since.

cessfully pass the upcom-ing bond. Financially, since the previous bond from 15 years ago has been fully paid, the new bond will keep our tax rate at the cur-rent level. Additionally our students, both current and future, will benefit from renovated schools which includes: security and safe-ty upgrades at all schools in the district, needed structural repairs, replace-ment of temporary portable classrooms in many areas, including a major reno-vation of Glacier Middle School, school playground improvements and sports field upgrades, including a stadium at White River High School.

This bond is all about providing better learning spaces for the students and teachers at White River. These students are our future and we owe it to our future and theirs to provide

them with an environment that will allow them to achieve their full potential.

I urge all voters to please support this bond issue. Ballots are due by Feb. 9. I know many of you who read this letter have or know children who will greatly benefit by the suc-cessful passing of this bond. Our students are our strength! I ask you to join me in voting to approve the WRSD bond.

White River bond makes sense to district teachers

Teachers have a unique perspective when it comes to bonds and asking the community to stretch their budget. Teachers – specifi-cally White River School District teachers – want the community to have the

very best for our students, your children. Bonds help students and teachers prog-ress in a safe environment without worry about the roof over our heads or the crowding in the classroom.

WRSD teachers are proud of the progress the district has made to improve learning and the housing of students since the last bond was passed in 2001. With that bond, the community built a wonder-ful high school and facili-ties that we get to use on a daily basis to educate our children. Collectively, as a staff, we strive to cultivate a culture of caring amongst our students while provid-ing rigorous and authentic learning experiences for all students in this wonderful building.

Fifteen years later, we are paying off the bond and we need to come together and continue the development of not only our schools, but our community.

Several of our build-

ings are in need of help, especially Glacier Middle School. The last renova-tion was in the early 1980s and the passing of this bond will get 40 percent of our students out of por-tables and into 21st cen-tury classrooms. Elk Ridge Elementary, built in 1969, is in need of full renovation and through the renovation we will be able to expand and allow for 200 more stu-dents. This is essential to the community because of proposed housing develop-ments; Buckley is grow-ing. Families could move to any of the surrounding neighborhoods, yet they are choosing Buckley because of positive growth in our schools.

Bonds are not all about the classroom. In 2003 we did not have the funds to finish the White River High School stadium. The South Puget Sound League is starting to notice the strong talent of our students and the community is attend-

ing more games than ever before. A completed stadi-um means coverage from the Northwest elements, additional bathrooms and parking spaces.

From a teacher’s perspec-tive, the 2016 WRSD bond makes sense to vote “yes..” Let us continue to protect

and provide for our stu-dents the very best we can. Our children deserve the best from our community.

bad words that is… is… are… its.

Earlier today I was driving to the office in Covington and a song inad-vertently came out of my radio (I never know why these things happen). It was a hit song in the early 60s when hair was popular.

I heard the first line of the lyrics and panicked. I nearly drove off into a

mucky field of prepositions without directional objects.

After calming myself, I checked my rear direc-tional looking devices for the enforcement clauses. I appeared to have escaped a very close comma call.

I decided it would be a parviscient exercise to rewrite the lyric with the proper pulicosity to help me learn to hug and be smiley.

The song begins like this: Something I’m not suppose to say, something not sup-

pose to say… “Itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot”… more things I’m not suppose to say.

The something I’m not supposed to say is easy pleasey. I’m sure yellow polka dot is out and would bring high gerunds of snorting and snarfing. Bitsy teenie weenie will make a dangling subordinate parti-ciple want to chase me with a 10-pound dictionary that has never been cracked.

That leaves itsy, which is fine piece of linguistology-

ness.After hours and hours of

oily toily, I saw the light of reformation hovering above me and I came up with this: itsy snitzy, wonky donkey, burlap boodle of plisky pribble.

Pretty awesomesauce, huh?

I feel confident I have now mended my evil, unforgivable ways and I have turned over a new…. something… let me check if this L word is OK. I’ll get back to you.

The coming of the birth control pill in 1960 also upended traditional American moral values and pushed many religious Americans to the right.

When Reagan ran for reelection in 1984, accord-ing to Westen, he created and articulated a set of principles that have reso-nated for more than 30 years.

Reagan’s narrative was that his opponents were “tax-and-spend” Democrats. Taxation was equated with “confiscation” and liberal politicians with raising taxes and taking away American freedom through restrictive govern-ment regulations.

Democrats were, accord-ing to Westen’s view of the Reagan narrative, “pessi-mistic, irresponsible, self-satisfied liberals who never saw a tax they didn’t want to levy, a social program

they didn’t want (to) fund, or a flag they didn’t want to burn.”

Westen goes on to point out that this narra-tive should be defined by, “What it neglects to men-tion as by what it men-tions.” He then goes on to list four arguments against Reagan’s narrative:

• “The failure to explain the intent of the villain (the Democrats)”: The reasons for these social programs and taxes were to help American citizens.

• The failure of unreg-ulated capitalism: The Democrats tinkered with the free market because unregulated capital-ism had caused the Great Depression and had sus-tained slavery for more than two hundred years and left 20 percent of the American population in poverty by 1960, according to Westen.

• The Republican view that liberals launched an assault on God: From the

liberal perspective, the goal was the defense of the First Amendment right of free-dom of religion.

• States rights portrayed as freedom from federal regulation: “In reality, it was an encouragement to continued oppression of the African-Americans that had occurred since the end of the Civil War in 1865.”

By failing to note the opposite side of each of these coins, conservatives created an effective narra-tive that Republicans use to this day to push their agenda.

The problem with the Democrats is that they have never created a coherent counter narrative to com-bat the half-truths. The rea-son for this silence, accord-ing to Westen, is a “failure of nerve, a fear of aggres-sion that remains one of the genuine Achilles’ heals of the left.” Democrats, hat-ing conflict, have hidden “behind the compassion, empathy, and tolerance that

are central features of the morality of the left.”

So, we have come full circle. Where once the nar-rative of Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal was the narrative that saved America from rampant and greedy capitalists, Ronald Reagan’s 1980s narrative became the theme that has resonated among the con-servatives.

Now that the eco-nomic gap between the super-wealthy 0.1 percent has become so glaring, Reagan’s narrative no lon-ger resonates so well with thinking Americans. With the rise of an apparent new Civil Rights movement —“Black Lives Matter”, a Democratic counter argu-ment is emerging.

It’s time we Americans knew the full story of the weaknesses of both sides of the political spectrum. This is an election year and we need to fill in the gaps that neither party is either will-ing or able to tell us.

So, what’s going on is, I’m exploring my way through the life of Jesus, through the perspective of the Apostle John, in his Gospel record. John has an interesting and unique take on who this Jesus was and I like it – well, sometimes I like it, and sometimes it’s rather alarming! It’s confrontational! Like, Jesus gets all weird and talks about how he’s the bread that comes down from heaven and if we don’t eat of that bread – unless we eat of his flesh and drink of his blood … his reference to the symbolism of what we call Communion and to the sacrificial death – that our eternal life isn’t possible (John 6).

A significant number of his disciples got all tweaked at him over this teaching and quit following him, saying: “This teach-

ing is way too hard and I can’t buy in!” But, boda-cious Peter – I love that guy! – boldly asserts that the inner core of the 12 disciples – for whom Peter is speaking – couldn’t pos-sibly quit following him, because where else could they go, because he alone has words of eternal life!?

Then Jesus makes the statement suggest-ing that he’s equal to God and nearly gets himself stoned (John 8). A little later he gets all philosophical, again, and says, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, and no one comes to Father God except through Me.”

“Whoa! Jesus! Really? You are one weird, narrow-minded duck!”

This guy has some interesting stuff to say and after I listen to him for a while, I have

to decide what I’m gonna do with him. My mind-meandering today is taking me down the path of thinking and feeling and deciding – i.e., I’m reviewing what I think and how I feel about what I’m thinking and what I’m deciding to do about how I feel about what I think. I spend a lot of time meditating on what the Holy Bible has to say and while I build teachings and ser-mons out of stuff I find in the Holy Book, I first of all make personal application, and then build the teaching out of what I’m applying. It somehow feels disingenuous to preach something I don’t believe and something I won’t live.

So I ask myself intimately personal “what if?” questions as I ponder the implications of Jesus being “the Way, the Truth and the Life” before I suggest to my listeners what it might mean to them – and I do this on all the info I find in the Gospel writings, or in the epistles of Paul and the other New

Testament writers. What if Jesus is life? I mean, the Book says so! And, what if the Father loves me – us – and that’s why he sent his son, Jesus, to live a life and model relationship to this “higher power” we refer to as God, and what if it’s possible to emulate that relationship thing somehow and live in some sort of intimacy with the “Father” – here and now, not just there and then? What if?

Big question: “How do I know there’s God and that Jesus is who he said he is, and that life – both here and now as well as there and then – will play itself out the way he said it will?”

Big response: “I don’t!”Big assumption: I simply take in the

information from these long-dead guys (the apostles), review their lives in light of what history says about them, explore

There’s a big payoff to putting faith in Jesus

The city of Enumclaw and guest curator Jenni Minnis will present a retro-spective exhibition featur-ing the artwork of Zelma Nachtsheim.

Nachtsheim, who lived on the Enumclaw Plateau for 65 years, died Sept. 22, 2015, at the age of 93.

Her art will be on dis-play Feb. 4 through March 1 in Gallery 2015, located in council chambers at Enumclaw City Hall, 1339 Griffin Ave. Gallery 2016 is open weekdays, except Tuesday.

Minnis went to the city with a proposal to display her grandmother’s artwork, a request that was approved by the Enumclaw Arts Commission.

Minnis wrote that her grandmother “loved to teach, inspire and create. She mostly painted oil on canvas from photos she had taken on her travels or images she saw such as the roses in her garden. She also loved the scene of the

oceans or forest with cabins and churches amongst the trees.”

Nachtsheim taught ceramics for more than 20 years in the basement of her farm house at the foot of Mount Peak.

the cost to them of believ-ing and the benefits – pos-sible and alleged – of their faith in Jesus, and ponder if the benefits were worth the cost, and ask myself, “What if this stuff is true? What would the benefit be to me?”

And as I consider this information I’m taking in, I also observe how I feel about it: i.e. the cerebral and visceral weave together – and I make a decision on what I’m thinking about how I feel, or how I’m feel-ing about what I think.

Big decision: “Yes.”Yes, I’m willing to bet my

life here, and my eternity there, that this Jesus is just who he said he was – and

still is.Possible benefit: Jesus

says it’s all about life! Real life – body, soul and spirit, and renewed by the spirit – and it passes through the crack in time that we call death and on to the other side.

Possible cost: Jesus says it could cost me my life. But, considering the benefit transcends this life, it looks to me like there’s not really a cost and I really can’t lose.

What if this Jesus really was the son of God and really did sacrifice himself for me and really did come out of the grave alive again, and what if there really is a life payoff if I put my faith in him?

MARTIN PURSERMartin Thomas Purser, 56, died Jan.

7, 2016, in Renton, Wash., following a long battle with multiple sclerosis.

He was born Aug. 30, 1959, in San Jose, Calif., the youngest of seven chil-dren born to Katherine Adams Purser and John C. Purser. The family enjoyed the outdoors, so his childhood was filled with picnics, camping trips and adventures with his father and older brother. He loved pie and, by the age of 8, was baking pumpkin pies from scratch. Before becoming ill, he was married for several years to Tammy Lawrence and supervised a chemical laboratory for a high-tech com-pany in the Silicon Valley. He loved astronomy and science fiction as well as playing chess, swimming and driving his convertible on mountain roads. In 2002 he moved to Renton, Wash., to be near his sister Elizabeth Hendricks of Enumclaw, who managed his care.

Aside from his sister Elizabeth, he is survived by sib-lings Barbara Voreis of Kaysville, Utah, Margo Faccini of Layton, Utah, Deborah Newell of Kalispell, Mont., Ellen Purser-Jones of Bozeman, Mont., and John Purser of Durango, Colo.

A memorial service will take place at 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 6, at City View Church, 200 S.W. Langston Rd., in Renton.

in the U.S. Army during World War II, landing at Omaha Beach. Retired from ARINC, he made friends worldwide through ham radio and was active in the Lutheran Church, Sons Of Norway and the Bonney Lake Senior Center. He was a talented musician and enjoyed entertaining at local events.

He had been married to his wife, Muriel, for 55 years. They had three children: Beth, Barbara (Miller) and Braden.

There is growing excitement from home gardeners and orchardists around the coun-try about a bug. Yes, a bug. More specifically, it is a bee. A mason bee. It is an important natural pollinator particularly in light of the worldwide prob-lem of declining honeybee populations.

Why discuss a bee during the dead of winter? First, it is time to plan for the spring activi-ties of this hardworking insect. Second, we enthusiasts wish to help spread the word about this very beneficial insect.

I first became aware of it

nearly nine years ago when I noticed all these giant-looking flies that were swarming around the shake roof that cov-ered some outbuildings. I quickly began to learn about them and that started my fascination with the mason bee.

Bee characteristicsIt is a solitary bee that nests

in holes in the ground, in trees, under shake roofs and in nest-ing holes created by humans. It rarely stings, but can if its life is threatened; it is not aggressive and is a better pollinator than the honeybee. Six mason bees can effectively pollinate one apple tree that would require 360 honey bees.

Adults begin to hatch from their cocoons in mid-March in the Northwest when tempera-tures reach the mid-50s. The bees complete their life cycle in

about six weeks. Their activi-ties coincide with the bloom of most of our ornamental and fruit-bearing trees.

The bees require sources of pollen and mud. They deposit their eggs on a glob of pol-len and seal off each one in a chamber with a mud plug. Lack of clayey-mud is one of the top reasons for poor suc-cess.

Bee attributesI believe the greatest attri-

bute is the good feeling we get from helping Mother Nature pollinate our fruit trees with very little time and effort. They are also terrific for involving children in a gardening project and to learn about beneficial insects.

The bees are simple for gar-deners to “raise” by provid-ing nesting materials. These include specially-designed nesting blocks with multiple holes, cardboard and paper tubes or homemade paper tubes.

I began by drilling holes in 4 by 4-inch fir blocks. While these worked to attract the bees, they are not recom-mended because over time they house various predators, diseases and fungi that feast on the larvae and slowly become death traps for the bees.

I have converted to the materials noted above. They allow home gardeners to har-vest the cocoons in the fall and clean out the pests. They can then be safely stored in the refrigerator for the winter for release the following spring.

Meet Marianne Binetti at the Tacoma Home and Garden Show Thursday through Sunday. She will speak at 1 p.m. each day. Thursday and Saturday, the topic will be “Great Plant Partners,” and Friday and Sunday will feature “Italian Inspiration for Low Water Gardens.”

The last week of January means it is time to force the issue of an early spring. You can smell the fragrance and enjoy the color of an early spring this month at the Tacoma Home and Garden Show that runs Jan 28-31. You can also force your own spring blooms by using the techniques below.

Sometimes it is niceto fool Mother Nature

Forcing cut branches or planted bulbs in the winter months is an easy way to trick Mother Nature into a pre-mature burst of color. It is also a great antidote to spring fever as it forces one to get outdoors and up close and per-sonal with plants.

Best plants forwinter forcing

Early spring-blooming shrubs with woody stems like forsythia, quince and f lowering cherry and plum variet-ies are the easiest to force into bloom because their f lower petals are already formed and protected inside the hard shells of the branch buds. All they need is the key of warmth and sunlight to unlock the door to bright yellow, orange or soft pink blooms.

Harvest branches for forcing

and shape the plant at the same time.

Look for cross-ing, extra long or awkward branches on your forsythia, quince or witch hazel

shrubs and harvest these for indoor forcing by cutting close to the mother branch or joint. Pruning always stimu-lates growth so the more branches you cut this year the more you will have next year. These cut branches are often called whips in the gardening world because they should be supple and f lexible enough to whip about. If the branch is too thick to harvest easily with hand pruners, it is too thick to force indoors.

Give the cut branches water and warmth – then stand back for an explo-sion of blooms.

A deep vase or tall pitcher makes a good container for tall whips but you can also force shorter offshoots in a tall glass of water. Recut the stem at an angle and pound woody stems with a hammer to break up the bark and allow the cut branches to absorb more liquid. Use warm water and change the water every few days to keep it clean. Bright light – but not direct sunlight – will coax the buds to open in a few days and can last as long as two weeks if you keep the blooming display cool at night.

Don’t forget you canfool your bulbs

Snowdrops, crocus and dwarf daffo-dils can be forced into bloom this time

of year simply by digging the bulb from the ground and placing it in a teacup half-filled with pebbles, marbles or glass chips. Bring the uprooted bulb indoors but spray it with water often or cover it with glass for a few hours every day to

increase humidity. The cup should be filled with just an inch of water below the bulb, never allowing the bulb itself to sit in dampness. The roots will seek out the water at the bottom of the cup, the bulb will be fooled into f lowering indoors due to the warmer temps and you’ll be one up on Mother Nature.

The good news about forcing bulbs

you borrow from the garden is that they can be replanted outdoors after they f lower and placed with their foliage still attached back into their original plant-ing hole.

one else and shouldn’t be discarded.

Safety in cleanlinessOne of the toughest

things to realize when working with people with hoarding challenges, Baker said, is they have the right to live the way they want to live.

It’s when their way of life becomes not just clut-tered, but actively unsafe, is when steps need to be taken to ensure safety, she

continued.“The No. 1 issue that

we need to address with anybody with any type of moderate to severe hoard-ing challenges is safety. Period,” Baker explained. “Unless we live there and unless they are endanger-ing us, themselves or the community, they get to live how they want to live.”

Infestations and garbage can be a health hazard if not taken care of quick-ly, and fire hazards can quickly multiply as clutter crowds around heaters and electrical outlets, Baker said.

Baker also mentioned having 3-foot wide walk-ing paths through rooms, not just to limit the amount of tripping hazards and escape from their place of residence quickly during an emergency (meaning all doors and windows should be easily accessible), but so emergency services can enter and exit a house more easily during an emergency as well.

HOARDING FROM 3

�e Courier Herald is published weekly and updated online daily!courierherald.com

The area’s girls fared much better than the boys Friday night as prep bas-ketball players wrapped up Week 5 of their league sea-sons.

While three of the local girls teams registered Jan.

22 victories, all four boys teams went down to defeat – three of them by 20 points or more. With 10 league contests under their belts, area squads have two more weeks of league action before heading into the world of postseason play – for those who qualify, at least.

Highlighting the week was the girls team from White River. With a 62-51 victory at River Ridge, the Hornets improved to a perfect 10-0 in South Puget Sound League 2A play and 13-3 overall. Leading the pack is noth-ing new for coach Chris Gibson and his crew, who make a habit of league titles and state tourna-ment appearances.

Kendall Bird continued a stellar junior campaign by scoring 27 points in Lacey.

The Bonney Lake girls took a 47-41 road win at Auburn Mountainview to break a deadlock with the Lions and slip into sec-ond place in the SPSL 3A. The victory pushed the Panthers’ record to 8-2 in league play, 10-6 overall.

Bonney Lake used some balanced scoring to secure the important victory. Brooklyn Gratzer post-ed 12 points while Shaya McQueen and Samantha Boudreau added 11 apiece.

The Panthers trailed by three heading into the fourth quarter, but used an 18-9 advantage during the final eight minutes to pull away.

Also rolling to victory Friday were the Sumner High girls, who held just a six-point lead heading into the final period of play but broke loose for a 59-43 win

on their home court.With the win, the

Spartan girls are sitting in fourth place in the SPSL 3A with a 6-4 record, 8-8 overall.

Friday brought dismal results in local boys play.

Enumclaw was the only squad to come close, falling just two points shy against the undefeated and league-leading Auburn Riverside Ravens. The Hornets out-scored the Ravens 20-15 in the final frame but could not clear the final hurdle.

With the loss, Enumclaw is a break-even 5-5 in SPSL 3A play and 8-8 overall. Auburn Riverside improved to 10-0 and 16-0 with the win, which came in Enumclaw High’s Chuck Smith Gymnasium.

The area’s other boys teams didn’t come close.

Bonney Lake was knocked off 66-39 to Auburn Mountainview on the Panthers’ home court, Sumner High dropped a 79-55 contest at Lakes and the White River Hornets were spanked by the high-ly-ranked River Ridge crew 71-29.

With their losses, Bonney Lake fell to 1-9 in league play, 3-13 overall; Sumner slipped to 5-5 in league but remained an impres-sive 11-5 overall; and White River dropped to third place in league at 7-3, 10-6.

Rainier Junior Rugby is gearing up for the coming season, welcoming both novice and returning play-ers.

The 2016 season will see two additions to the existing roster of teams – a third/fourth grade coed squad and a seventh/eighth grade girls team. Already

up and running are a fifth/sixth coed team; seventh/eighth boys; ninth/10th boys; 11th/12th boys; and ninth/12th girls.

The season has started for grades seven through 12 and the younger grades will begin in early February. Teams will practice twice a week in the evening with

the earliest practices being at 5:30 p.m. Turnout loca-tions are in Sumner and Auburn. Final practice schedules are still being coordinated but will soon be posted on the club’s web-site.

Players are welcome from any city and school district and no knowledge of rugby is required to participate. There are no tryouts and no one is cut.

The season will run until mid-May. Games for boys and coed teams are Saturday with the girls playing on Sunday after-noon. Limited travel is required, as most teams are in the Seattle metro area or Pierce County.

The rugby organization welcomes players at any point in the season, partic-

ularly winter sport athletes at the conclusion of their high school seasons.

Last year’s highlights included a Division 2 state championship for our varsity boys team, a runner-up finish for the girls and the seventh-eighth grade team and an undefeated season for the fifth/sixth grade team. Two girls from the pro-gram made the USA high school national side and one boy made the boys national team extended squad. The girls side also toured Vancouver Island.

For more information about the club, visit www.rainierjuniorrugby.com or Facebook (RainierRFC). Coach Andy Ramsay can be contacted at a.s.ramsay@comcast.net.

The early part of the year means well-ness ranks as a top goal for both men and women. Try incorporating lifestyle changes that benefit both you and your pet. PetSmart veterinarian and pet care expert Dr. Kemba Marshall provides some helpful tips for achieving a health-ier lifestyle for you and your animal companions.

1. Exercise is key. Pets, like humans, need physical activity in order to be healthy. The good news is giving your pet adequate daily exercise is easy! For some dog breeds, 30-minute walks are enough. For others, a game of fetch does the trick. Interested in trying something new? Mix up the activity. Try sprinting alongside your pet in quick intervals. Balls are great for fetch, but have you ever tried a Frisbee? Even a quick trip to the mailbox each day is a great option. No matter what, both you and your pet will have fun spending time together and getting a workout.

2. Stimulate the brain. Maintaining a healthy pet lifestyle goes beyond physi-cal exercise. Activities to stimulate a pet’s mental skills are fun and important too. Try a treat-dispensing or puzzle toy with your dog or cat to keep their mind active. Introduce the new toy before a meal, this way your pet will be hungry to learn.

3. Optimize the diet. Have you been feeding your pet the same food for years? It may be time for you and your

veterinarian to assess his food and make sure you’re providing one that is healthy and satisfying.

The best way to switch your pet’s food is by providing a gradual transition, mixing the old food with the new for up to 10 days.

4. Monitor your pet’s activity and behavior. This may come as a surprise

to many, but discovering an unhealthy habit in your pet’s day-to-day life is as simple as paying closer attention to his or her behavior. While many humans monitor their daily behavior with tech-nical gadgets and apps, monitoring a pet’s daily activity may also lead to a

Pet parents everywhere were concerned when the new strain of canine flu in Chicago made national news. Pacific Northwesterners took comfort the flu virus was a few thou-sand miles away from our pets, but it appears the virus has made it to King County.

There is a lot of misinformation circulating in the pet community. The following is the most current information from King County Department of Health.

1. What is the current situation regarding canine influenza in King County?

Canine influenza has been confirmed in at least two dogs in King County, although further testing is needed to show which type it is. These two dogs are part of an outbreak that occurred in a kennel and daycare facility during December. We believe that this outbreak was caused by H3N2 canine influenza due to positive testing results in two dogs in Georgia that came into close contact with an ill dog from the outbreak.

2. What is canine influenza?Canine influenza virus, or dog flu, is a highly-

contagious respiratory infection of dogs that is caused by an influenza A virus. In the United States, canine influenza has been caused by two influenza strains, called H3N8 and H3N2. The H3N2 strain was first detected in the U.S. in 2015, in an outbreak that started in Chicago and spread to 25 states. The strain causing the 2015 outbreak was almost genetically identical to an H3N2 strain previously reported only in Asia. This strain, H3N2 canine influenza virus, is the dog flu of highest concern now.

3. How does canine influenza affect dogs?Signs of illness include cough (moist or dry and

honking), runny nose, fever, decreased appetite and activity,

similar to “kennel cough.” Most dogs will get mild illness, but 10 percent to 20 percent of dogs may progress to more severe infection with high fever or pneumonia. Overall mortality rates for canine influenza are low (up to 5 to 10 percent).

Canine influenza can affect all ages and all breeds of dogs. Dogs with existing illnesses may suffer more severely.

Most dogs recover in two to three weeks. A honking cough can last 10 to 30 days. There is no way to distinguish canine influenza from other causes of respiratory disease based on clinical signs alone, but rapidly increasing numbers of dogs falling sick in congregate settings like kennels and daycares should trigger suspicion.

4. Will all dogs get sick when they are exposed to canine influenza?

In an area like King County where H3N2 has not previ-ously been circulating, no dogs will have immunity so it is likely that large numbers of dogs will be infected if the virus is introduced into the population. In a congregate setting, if only a few dogs are sick and the illness does not spread to most of the dogs, is it probably not canine influenza even if the clinical signs are consistent with canine influenza. Some dogs, estimated up to 20 to 25 percent, become infected but do not get sick.

5. Does canine influenza pose a risk to people or other animals?

There is no evidence at this time that dogs infected with either H3N8 or H3N2 pose a risk to humans. In Asia, canine influenza virus H3N2 has been reported to infect cats, although transmission to cats in the U.S. has been extremely rare. There is some evidence that guinea pigs and ferrets can become infected.

6. How is the canine influenza virus spread?Canine influenza virus is highly contagious. The

virus is primarily found in respiratory discharge and can transmitted by direct contact (nose to nose), contaminated surfaces or objects (like hands, bowls, clothing), droplets from coughing and sneezing and aerosol spread. The virus may be able to travel in the air for long distances, up to 20 feet or more. The virus lives in the environment less than one week, usually 12 to 24 hours.

Environments where dogs congregate – dog daycares, boarding kennels, dog parks, etc. – are particularly risky.

7. For how long can a dog spread the canine influenza virus?

The virus may be shed by a dog for up to three days before clinical signs develop. The peak of virus shedding is three to four days post-infection. After this time, the presence of infectious virus decreases quickly. However, dogs infected with H3N2 may have a prolonged shedding time, up to 20 to 24 days past the onset of clinical signs.

Therefore, longer isolation periods (21 days) are recom-mended for infected dogs. This is true even for dogs that have recovered from clinical signs. Any dog that has been exposed to canine influenza should be considered potentially infec-tious.

8. Which disinfectants kill the canine influenza virus?Virus will be inactivated by most commonly used

disinfectants, including isopropyl alcohol and bleach (at a dilution for routine disinfection).

9. Is there a canine influenza vaccination available?Two vaccines for H3N2 recently became available

under conditional licensing. Canine influenza vaccines are considered “lifestyle” vaccines, meaning the decision to vaccinate is based on a dog’s risk of exposure. Dog own-ers should consult their veterinarian to determine whether vaccination is needed. The H3N2 vaccine requires an initial

10. Should dog owners be concerned about canine influenza in day-

care, kennel or grooming facilities?Dog owners should be aware that any

situation that brings dog together increases the risk of spread of infectious diseases. Dog owners should ask whether respiratory diseases have been a problem at the facility;

whether the facility has a plan for isolating dogs that develop respiratory disease; and if there is a plan for notifying owners if their dogs have been exposed to dogs with respira-tory diseases.

As long as good infection control prac-tices are in place, dog owners should not be overly concerned about using these types of facilities.

healthier lifestyle. Is your pup demonstrating pent-up ener-gy? More exercise might be necessary. Are they devour-ing their food too quickly? Maybe an active feeding approach is the right solu-tion. Most often, correcting the behavior is as easy as dis-covering it in the first place.

5. Stick with your resolu-

tions. Change can be tough on pets, especially when it disrupts diet or day-to-day routines. The important thing to remember is that positive results rarely come without work. As cliché as it may sound, both you and your pet will be thankful for the change in the long run.

These tips are a won-derful way to kick-start a healthier lifestyle for both you and your pet in the new

year. Increasing your physi-cal activity and improving your diet are just the first two steps. By monitoring your-self and your pet, increas-ing mental stimulation and sticking with your resolu-tions, a newer, healthier life for both you and your furry friend is well within reach. Visit http://petsmartsocial.com/ResourceCenter for addi-tional tips on how to maintain a healthier lifestyle.

HEALTH FROM 17CANINE FLU FROM 17

front door was open. Police checked the interior and found signs of entry, but nothing had been taken or damaged. Extra patrol was requested.

CAN’T DO THAT: Police took a report at 1:14 a.m. Jan. 17 of people with flashlights look-ing in a Dumpster. Officers contacted two people who were searching the garbage bin and advised them such activity is against the law.

WELFARE CHECK: City police were contacted the morning of Jan. 16 by per-sonnel from Joint Base Lewis-McChord, who for help locat-ing a person believed to be at a Griffin Avenue address. The person in question was not located.

INTO CUSTODY: An offi-

cer was told Jan. 16 of a motor vehicle accident that occurred the day before but had not been reported. Further investi-gation turned up a suspect in a hit-and-run incident who was taken into police custody.

MAIL THEFTS: Police were asked Jan. 16 to provide additional patrols in a Florence Street neighborhood due to recent mail thefts.

SHOPLIFTING: An offi-cer responded the evening of Jan. 16 to a Monroe Avenue location following a shop-lifting report. A suspect was arrested and trespassed from the business.

SURRENDER: A man wanted on a felony war-rant issued by the state’s Department of Corrections surrendered Jan. 16 at the city police station. He was arrested and booked.

BONNEY LAKESPEEDING, WARRANT:

Officers observed a vehicle going 44 in a 25 miles per hour zone on Jan. 13. After pulling the car over and the driver unable to produce insurance, a records check revealed he had a warrant out of King County. The driver was cited for the speeding and no insurance and arrest-ed for the warrants.

MYSTERIOUS PILLS: Officers were contacted by loss prevention on Jan. 14 about a strange pill bottle with at least two different kinds of pills inside, includ-ing over-the-counter and prescription painkillers. The name and information on the bottle could not be read. The pills were taken to the department and disposed of.

CAR TAK EN WITHOUT PERMISSION: On Jan. 14 officers responded to a car recovery. The report-ing party said the stolen car was parked at a local busi-ness, informing officers when the car was taken by a male roommate who did not have permission to drive the car. Officers entered the business and found the male, detain-ing him. The male said he had no intention of stealing the car, just using it to go to the business and then return it. The reporting party, after hearing this, did not want to file charges. The report was forwarded to a prosecutor. The male was released and the car returned.

STOLEN SPLITTER: Officers were called on Jan. 15 to a report of a stolen log splitter. The splitter, weigh-

ing 22 tons, was on a trailer, and the owner said they did not have it registered with the Department of Licensing. There was a lock on the hitch of the trailer, but it was cut.

STOLEN CAR BOUGHT BY UNSUSPECTING DRIVER: Officers were fuel-ing their patrol vehicle on Jan. 15 when they spotted a car that was reported stolen out of Tumwater in August. Officers pulled up to the car when it stopped but found no one in it. Officers kept an eye on the vehicle, and eventually five males entered the car. Officers moved in for a felony stop and detained the male driver, who said the bought the car online. There was a record of sale on the web-site, plus other evidence that the driver bought the car. Officers contacted the vehicle

owner, who said they did not sell the car and it was pos-sible a third party took the car and sold it, along with the title of the car. The car was impounded.

PEDESTRIAN HIT: Officers responded to a car vs. pedestrian hit and run on Jan. 17. The reporting party told offi-cers a car backing up very fast hit her leg and pushed her. The driver then drove away. Officers found the vehicle later but the driver said they did not know of a hit and run. The driver recanted later and said he was afraid of being jumped, then said they thought the person was goofing around, then said the person they hit said everything was all right. The driver was cited for hit and run.
