Th e Washington state Supreme Court let the hammer fall Aug. 13 in the McCleary education case ordering the state to pay $100,000 a day and calling for Gov. Jay Inslee to bring the Legislature back into a fourth special session to resolve the issue.

Th e order stated the “remedial penalty” of $100,000 per day began Aug. 13 and goes until the Legislature “adopts a complete plan for comply-ing with Article IX, Section 1 by the 2018 school year. Th e Article IX preamble in the Washington Con-stitution states, “It is the paramount duty of the state to make ample provi-sion for the education of all children residing within its borders, without distinction or preference on account of race, color, caste, or sex.”

Th e Court ruling stated the fi ne is to be placed into a “segregated ac-count for the benefi t of basic educa-tion.”

Th e Supreme Court found the state in contempt in Sept. 11, 2014, but held back sanctions until the comple-tion of the 2015 Legislative Session.

“Aft er the close of that session and following multiple special sessions, the State still has off ered no plan for achieving full constitutional compli-ance by the deadline the legislature itself adopted,” the Aug. 13 Court order stated.

Th e Court ruled because the state has not complied with the 2012 Mc-Cleary ruling to fulfi ll its Constitu-tional obligation to fund education, “this court must take immediate action to enforce its orders.”

Gov. Jay Inlsee released a state-ment Aug. 13 stating that he and the legislative leaders would be meeting in Seattle Monday, “to begin the necessary and diffi cult work before

Cmdr. Greg Goral with the Black Dia-mond Police Department died Sunday fol-lowing an extended battle with cancer.

He was diagnosed with appendiceal can-cer three years ago.

Police Chief Jamey Kiblinger wrote in an email that Goral was hired by the Black Diamond Police Department in July of 2006 aft er serving 10 years with the Albuquerque Police Department. Goral also served in the United States Air Force as a senior airman from 1990-1994.

Th ere will be a public service Monday, Aug. 24, at New Community Church in

Maple Valley.Check the website, www.covingtonre-

porter.com for the time and processional information.

Kiblinger wrote, “We thank you in advance for your support of both the Black Diamond Police Department and the Goral family during this challenging time. Please keep his wife and two young daughters in your prayers. Donations can be made to the Goral family through the Cops with Cancer Foundation.”

A Boots and Badges charity basketball tournament was played in April to help Goral and his family. More than $31,500 was raised during that event.

For the fi rst time, an evening festival featur-ing cider and sausage

will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Saturday at the Covington Community Park – the Sausage and CiderFest.

Th e public can enjoy sam-pling a number of ciders and sausages from 16 diff erent vendors.

Th e Covington Kiwanis Club is producing the fes-tival as a fundraiser for the Kiwanis Club’s service programs and proj-ects including Th e Eliminate Project, Children’s Cancer Program and many others.

“Th e city (of Coving-ton) is proud to be a main sponsor and help out with event planning,” Commu-nications and Marketing Manager Karla Slate said in an email.

Slate said the idea behind the cider and sausage festival came about because the Ki-wanis Club has been toying with the idea of a fundraising

event with an Oktoberfest theme.

She added “the city was also looking for a way to promote Covington as a community that had great events and reasons for people to come here.”

From there the idea for Sausage and CiderFest was born.

Hard cider is becoming more popular, Slate said, and there are a number of cider businesses around the area.

“We also wanted to pair it up with some kind of food

element,” Slate wrote. “People love beer and

brats, so why not sausage and cider?”

Th e goal of the festival is provide

participants with a relax-ing atmosphere.

A couple of local wineries and breweries will also be in attendance for those non-cider drinkers.

To attend the festival, one can purchase general admis-sion tickets for $35 online in advance or at the door.

Tickets at the door will be

Special for The Reporter

On Aug. 9, 1945, 16 Estonian refugees set sail from Sweden in a 37-foot sloop to cross the Atlantic to America. Four and a half months later, they

arrived in Norfolk, Va. The Küün daughters, consisting of Black Diamond resident Ulla Kemman and her two sisters, Aimi Brown of Flagler beach, Fla. and Inga Bar-

rett of Mount Pleasant, Texas, recently gathered at Kem-man’s home on Lake Sawyer to celebrate the anniversary. Kemman and her two sisters represent three of the four voyage members still living.

At the time World War II broke out, Estonia was oc-cupied by the Soviet Union. A year later, the Red Army was driven out of the country by Hitler’s Nazi forces. During the German occupation, Estonians of Swedish decent were allowed to immigrate to Sweden. The Küün family qualified and moved to Sweden. In 1944, as the Germans began losing the war, the Russians once again gained control of Estonia and insisted that all former Soviet citizens be repatriated.

Fearing persecution by the Russians, the Küün family made plans to flee to America.

Arvid Küün, the girls’ father, found a 50-year-old mail carrier vessel, the “Erma.” To raise money for needed repairs, the family took on additional passengers. Arvid, a graduate of the Estonian Merchant Marine Academy, knew that it was possible to cross the Atlantic under sail power by using the trade winds and following the route of Columbus.

After 127 days at sea, the small boat and its 16 passen-gers landed in Norfolk, Va. on Dec. 15, 1945.

The voyage of the “Erma” is memorialized in the book, “Sailing to Freedom” by Voldemar Veedam and Carl B. Wall. The story first appeared in the February 1947 issue of Reader’s Digest. A British press review declared the saga of the “Erma” the most epic historical sea voyage of our time.

To recognize the anniversary, a reception was held at the Kemman’s home on July 25 to share the story of the voyage. Invited guests included Black Diamond Mayor Carol Benson, Councilwoman Janie Edelman and Stevan Smith, an independent documentary producer.

Chuck Kemman is Ulla Kemman’s (Küün) husband.

We’ve been reorganizing our house these last three weeks or so. My youngest daughter’s friend moved in with us and we’ve flipped rooms around to accommodate her. The final outcome has been an unex-pected thrill even if the process was stressful. I’m not one of those people who en-joy the journey more than the destination.

In spite of the necessary cooperation my husband and I have had to have, we’ve kind of lost sight of each other these last weeks. Quite honestly, he was probably glad he had to get up at 4 a.m. to go to work; I kind of wished I had some-where to go, too.

My mindset every day during the process was to get the living areas clear before my husband got home. It didn’t happen until recently. In fact we even ended up eating out a lot during the chaos, because I either couldn’t focus enough to figure out what

to cook or I was too tired by the time the kids and I slogged our way through another task.

Last week, with Friday looming before us, my husband mentioned we hadn’t had a date night for quite awhile. “Seri-ously dude?” I thought. “Doesn’t it look like I have enough to do?

Wait your turn.” I’ve also been helping out a fam-ily whose wife/mother is a hospice patient at her home and Friday night was my shift.

Don’t get me wrong, I felt bad I couldn’t be enthusias-tic about a date night, nor could I see my way clear to even schedule one. After all, he’s the bread winner and his male territory has been further trod over by yet another woman. He’s been agreeable, and uncomplain-ing, but it just wasn’t his “time.”

Then I got a phone call about an hour before I was scheduled to leave for my

appointed shift. The gal’s son was in town and so my services weren’t needed. I suddenly found myself free.

My husband was up to a spontaneous date night. To top it off, often we’ll have unexpected moments for togetherness and there isn’t a movie we want to see, but there were actually a few we were interested in.

We discovered we are out of practice: we didn’t get cheap movie tickets from Costco and we didn’t stop at a store to get my inexpen-sive Milk Duds; we paid full price for everything. It was just so exciting to have nothing pressing to do, we shot out of the house before someone changed their mind.

On Sunday morning, we resolved to clean off the patio. You know how those big home projects are when you get your livable space cleared out, but the rem-nants of the undertaking will be a chore for months to come.

We shuffled a few things around, reorganized a shed to accommodate all the excess shelving we have

(another subject for another day), then made a truckload of thrift store drop-offs. We contemplated which store to take it to (you have to have a strategy when donating), then realized if we went to St. Vincent’s in Kent, we could go see an-other movie at Kent Station. Two in one weekend!

Another added thrill awaited us: that movie was only $5.76. I don’t know if it was because it played before 11 a.m, because it was Sunday or if that’s the normal matinee price, but it made up for our full-price Friday.

Date nights may have to become date mornings from now on.

Th e political racing season opened Aug. 5 with very few fi reworks.

Th ere are a handful of challenged city council races in the cities I cover, but most candidates made it to the ballot without a battle.

Deciphering the message in the plethora of unchal-lenged seats is similar to reading tea leaves soaked in succotash and out-of-date buttermilk. We can call it complacency, eu-phoria or a TV show about lying teenage girls was on and couldn’t be missed to sign up for an elected offi ce. Platitudes are easy, truth likes to hide.

In challenged races I avoid forecasting the win-ners, losers and whiners. I never predict the future of anything unless it involves a horse race.

I could handicap a political race if I could get reliable past performances from the Daily Racing Form like I do with the Longacres Mile or Ken-tucky Derby.

Past performances or PPs are charts and notes describing how a horse ran in earlier races. PPs from the Form are not given the happy guy spin. Th ey are facts and observations – straight, no chaser.

Here are some examples of PPs I dreamed up for political races:

• Fell down at the half-mile pole because it was too darn hot and the sun was in his eyes;

• Finished last because he ate two Big Macs and three orders of fries last night (Mmmm – those were the days);

• Ran off the track at the far turn because he wanted his peanut butter and jelly and cheese sandwich with the crust cut off like his grandma

always did; • Got really tired and started whimpering when

the gate opened because he stayed up too late watching Book TV (that would be me, in fact they all could be me).

Figuring out who wins and who loses in city races is a roll of the loaded bones.

In the years I have covered races I have only seen one or two candidates with motives that were less than straight and cheery.

I believe most local candidates think they can do good and they want to help their community. Th e question for a voter is: does a candidates’ vi-sion of good line up with your vision – and more importantly, do you have an idea what is best for your community?

Many people, including me, kvetch about the various elected bodies and offi cials. Running for offi ce to fi x the kvetch is oft en not the zip-a-dee-doo-dah day most imagine, and once on the inside elected offi cials fi nd our government, by design, moves like a crabby iceberg.

So for all our kvetching it is best to remember, “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars….”

Local races may seem uninspired compared to the Trumpmobile, but a city council race affects a community where it lives, drives and plays Yahtzee.

Th e happy news is the Constitution was craft ed by the founders to protect us from the worst – and it has done its job well for a couple of hundred years.

Alexis de Tocqueville in his two-volume “Democracy in America” adroitly described the political system he observed in 1840.

“Men will not accept truth at the hands of their enemies, and truth is seldom off ered to them by their friends…. Each partisan is hur-ried beyond the limits of his opinions by the excesses of his opponent, until he loses site of the end.”

OK, I’m not sure how that fi ts in with my ram-bling, but I like what Big Al wrote and I don’t have a better way to end this column other than – vote.

I fi rst heard the phrase “Post-modern World” from my daughter Betsy aft er she graduated from the University of Wash-ington with a degree in international aff airs/development more than a decade ago.

Th e term was unfa-miliar to me. As far as I could tell, it had to do with a diff erent way of thinking, of perceiving the world, than had existed before.

I’ve always been fascinated with how people perceive their world. I have found that if I can understand a person’s mindset – their thesis about life – I can learn how to deal with them more eff ectively.

Since I’ll be teaching a continu-ing education class this fall for Green River College called “Com-peting Cultural Values in Ameri-can Society,” I decided to study the Post-modern World in more detail. I found an article online that clearly clarifi es the concept from a

Christian perspective. Th e author, Kurt Struckmeyer, wrote a blog explaining “Th e Post Modern World” clearly on the “Following Jesus” website.

Struckmeyer gave the context to understand-ing by fi rst describing the pre-modern worldview.

Th is era goes back to biblical times where the king and religion were linked as one. In history, we call this period the Age of Divine Right of Kings.

Monarchs were God’s representa-tives on earth. To question the deci-sions of the king was to question God. Religion held the answers to life’s mysteries. Th e Bible, both Old and New Testaments, were accepted without question as God’s word.

Th e pre-modern worldview began to break down in the 18th century with the rise of scientifi c thought in the Enlightenment Era. Reason began to take precedence over faith as the new modern

worldview. Church and state were separated. Science, not religion, gave the answers to life’s struggles. Solutions to the world’s problems came through evolution, critical thinking and reasoning. Optimism brought the belief of human per-fectibility.

Th is modern worldview pre-vailed until the two world wars and the use of nuclear weapons, which profoundly shattered this belief in human perfectibility. Th e post-modern worldview began to take shape beginning in the 1950s and continues to develop into the 21st century.

Th e key components of this perspective reject the belief in abso-lute truth in the fi eld of ethics and religion, not so much in science or technology. Truth becomes relative to ones’ culture. Struckmeyer de-scribes it this way: “If I can feel it, if I can touch it, then it must be true.”

Among post-moderns there is a pessimistic distrust of author-ity, whether it be government or religious institutions. Generation Xers (born between 1965 and 1981) reject grand claims and favor in-stead the view that life is complex. Generation Ys and Millennials, those born aft er 1982, have only extrapolated the worldview further.

If it’s simple, it’s probably wrong. Christianity is just one of many op-tions to fi nding truth. Each person must fi nd “his or her truth.”

Th at “New Truth” is oft en being found in charismatic Christianity, New Age or Eastern religions, ac-cording to Struckmeyer.

In American culture today and especially in the Church, all three ways of thinking co-exist. Some Christians accept church authority without question. Others question authority, using reason to guide them. Th e post-moderns have rejected established churches and have become “spiritual without being religious,” trusting only what their own experiences have taught them. Th is post-modern tendency will only accelerate with time, ac-cording to Struckmeyer.

Perhaps that is why Christian-ity is declining in North America and Western Europe and rapidly increasing in parts of Africa, Asia and Latin America. How clearly North American Christians come to realize these three divisions and act upon this knowledge will de-termine what Christianity will look like, or whether Christianity will even exist in any numbers 50 years from now in our part of the world.

us. There is much that needs to be done before a special session can be called. I will ask lawmakers to do that work as quickly as humanly possible so that they can step up to our constitutional and moral obligations to our children and lift the court sanctions.”

Background The McCleary case began

in 2007 when Network for Excellence in Washington Schools filed a suit in King County Superior Court on behalf of the McCleary family.

In 2010 Superior Court Judge John Erlick ruled in a declaratory judgment the state was not meeting its constitution duty as state in Article IX, Section I.

The ruling was upheld by the Supreme Court in a 2012, putting in motion the wrestling match between the Legislature, executive and judicial branch.

The Supreme Court stated it would defer to the legislative body to find a

funding solution, but the Court “retained jurisdic-tion” over the process. The judges asked for periodic reports from the Legislature and governor. According to the Court’s Aug. 13 order, each year the state fell short of fulfilling the McCleary ruling. In January 2014, the Court order stated, “Reiter-ating that the State had to show through immediate and concrete action that it was achieving real and measurable progress, not simply making promises, the court in its order direct-ed the State to submit by April 30, 2014, ‘a complete plan for fully implement-ing its program of basic education for each school year between now and the 2017-18 school year….” In September 2014 the Court held the state in contempt for failure to complying, but withheld sanctions until after the 2015 session.

2015 Session After three special ses-

sions, the Legislature com-pleted the operating and transportation budget.

The Court noted the Olympia lawmakers made, “significant progress in some key areas, for which the legislature is to be commended. The budget appears to provide full funding for transporta-tion, and the superinten-dent of public instruction agrees. Further, it meets the per-student expenditure goals…. The budget also makes progress in estab-lishing voluntary all-day kindergarten, appropriating $179.8 million, which the State asserts will result in the establishment of all-day kindergarten in all schools by the 2016-17 school year, one year ahead of the schedule specified by SHB 2776…. In addition, the current budget appropriates $350 million for K-3 class

size reduction, an amount the State says will achieve the target average class size of 17 for kindergarten and first grade in lower income schools by the 2016-17 school year.”

The Court shook the legislators hands for one paragraph and jerked their chain in the next.

“But while there is some progress in class size reduc-tion, there is far to go. The target for all of K-3 is an average of 17 students …. but low-income schools will reach only 18 students in the second grade and 21 in the third by 2016-17. And in other schools, no class will reach the goal of 17 by 2016-17. With a deadline of 2018 for compliance, the State is not on course to meet class-size reduction goals by then.”

The Salmonella outbreak linked to pork products has grown to 134 cases in 10 counties around the state. Consumers are advised to cook pork thoroughly.

The case count has continued to grow as state health officials work with Public Health — Seattle & King County along with other local, state, and fed-eral partners on the disease investigation. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) sent its team of “disease detec-tives” to the state to help. Investigators are interview-ing the most recent cases and comparing informa-tion to early cases, which were first reported in the spring.

Disease in-vestigators are searching for possible con-tamination and exposure sources from a wide range of possible venues, includ-ing restaurants, markets, slaughter facilities, and farms/ranches. Salmonella bacteria are commonly found in animals used for food, and proper storage, handling, preparation, and cooking can help prevent the illness known as salmo-nellosis.

Most of the illnesses have been confirmed with the outbreak strain of Salmo-nella bacteria, and early testing shows a connec-tion to a slaughter facility in Graham, WA. Samples were collected at Kapowsin Meats in Pierce County last week. Testing con-firms the outbreak strain was present. The business, which is regulated by the United States Department

of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service, has cooperated with the investigation. There may be other sources and disease investigators are search-ing for the origin of the Salmonella bacteria in the outbreak.

The 134 cases include residents of Clark (2), Cowlitz (1), Grays Harbor (1), King (84), Kitsap (1), Mason (2), Pierce (12), Snohomish (24), Thurston (2), and Yakima (5) coun-ties.

Exposure for many of the ill people apparently was whole roasted pigs, served at private events and restaurants. State

health officials have issued guidance for

cooking whole roasted pigs, with an emphasis on making sure the meat is cooked

thoroughly. In addition to proper

handling and preparation, thorough cooking can help prevent possible illness. A meat thermometer should be used to ensure an internal temperature of 145 degrees in the thickest cut of the meat.

Salmonellosis, the illness caused by infection with Salmonella, can cause severe and even bloody diarrhea, fever, chills, abdominal discomfort, and vomiting. Serious blood-stream infections may also occur. Annually, 600-800 cases of salmonellosis are reported among Washing-ton residents.

Proper food handling, preparation, and cooking are the best precautions to take to prevent illness. Following food safety

guidance can help prevent food-borne illness. Health officials warn consumers to use a food thermometer to make sure all meats and fish are cooked to a safe internal temperature; guidance can be found on the Department of Health website. Other food safety tips include washing hands thoroughly with soap and water before and after preparing food, especially raw meats.

To avoid cross-contami-nation, don’t place cooked food on a plate that previ-ously held raw meat of any kind. It’s also important to wash and then sanitize cutting boards, knives, and countertops that come into

contact with raw meat by using a solution of bleach water (1 teaspoon bleach per gallon of water) or antibacterial cleaner.

Contact with live animals— including pigs or other livestock at home, in petting zoos, at local fairs and elsewhere — can create exposure to Salmonella and other bacteria. Thorough hand washing after contact with live animals is an im-portant tool in preventing the spread of disease.

WHY ADULTS NEED VACCINESWhile many adults think that vaccines are limited to

childhood doctor visits or are something unnecessary until much later in life, they are wrong. Vaccines are important for adults for a multitude of reasons. First, and perhaps foremost, adults may be in need of booster shots for childhood immunizations that have worn off. Next, vaccinated adults keep small children or people with compromised immune systems from getting infected with dangerous illnesses. Adults who travel might need different vaccines to keep them safe from illnesses not common to their home area. Also, some vaccines are only for adults, such as the shingles vaccine. Other vaccines, including the flu shot, need to be re-administered every year. You should discuss with your healthcare provider the immunizations that are appropriate for you.

Being vaccinated is your best protection against many serious diseases.Most health insurance plans cover the cost of recommended vaccines. Check with your insurance provider for details and for a list of vaccine providers.

For more information, please call Southlake Clinic at (253) 395-1972. Our primary care providers are part of a multi-specialty physician network, with a clinic in Covington at 27005 168th Place SE.

Salmonella illness outbreak linked to pork expands

84 CASES IN

KINGCOUNTY

...HEALTHY LIVING

The following informa-tion was provide by the Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority.

According to CNN and the National Safety Council, there were more than 18,600 motor-vehicle deaths nationally from January through June this year, compared to 16,400 deaths for the first six months of last year. This is an increase of over 13%.

To put the number of deaths in perspective, this is approximately the entire population of the city of Covington.

Lower gas prices and higher num-bers of people commuting due to a robust economy are major contrib-uting factors. Increased use of cell phones and texting are also part of the problem.

In April of this year, the Kent Fire De-partment RFA responded to a fatal-ity crash on 148 Avenue Southeast where a possibly distracted driver crossed the center line and killed the driver of the other car. In 2014, four people were struck by a pickup truck as they tried to run across Pacific Highway South. One of the four was killed. In 2013, firefighters were dis-patched to a vehicle crash that took the life of a Kentridge High School

student after another driver pulled into traffic triggering the three-car crash. That same year two drivers died in two separate crashes after leaving the road and hitting trees.

As a driver, what can you do to help avoid becoming a statistic?

Slow down. Increasing your speed by 5 – 10 miles per hour for the average commuter only saves a few minutes of time but greatly increases the chances of a crash.

Drive defensively. Assume others are going to do something unexpected and be ready for it.

Pay attention. When you are driving, that is not the time

to be texting, putting on makeup, or reading the newspaper. In addition, watch for pedestrians,

people on bikes, and animals.

Be patient. All too often road rage leads to crashes and innocent people getting hurt.

Drive sober. Medications, alcohol, and legal/illegal drugs can all affect your ability to drive safely.

Be alert. Avoid driving when tired or fatigued.

Not all records are something to be proud of. The Kent Fire Department RFA asks that you do your part by driving in a safe and responsible manner.

Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority serves the cities of Kent, SeaTac, Covington, and King County Fire District 37.

The Toronto Blue Jays promoted former Kentwood High School star Matt Hague on Monday to the major leagues.

Toronto, which is one-half game behind the New York Yankees for first

place in the American League East Division, called up Hague, 29, from its Triple-A Buffalo Bisons team where the corner infielder tore up opposing pitchers.

Hague, a 2004 Kentwood graduate, leads the Inter-national League in batting

average at .348 (35 points higher than the second-best average);

83 RBI, 223 total bases and a .427 on-base percentage. He is third in doubles with 30, fourth in runs scored with 67 and sec-ond in walks with 57.

Drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the ninth round of the 2008 draft out of Oklahoma State University, Hague has 72 major league at bats from when he played with the Pirates in

2012 and 2014.Toronto reportedly plans to

use Hague, who is 6 feet 3 inches tall and 225 pounds, as a reserve first baseman or possibly a pinch-hitter in its series with the Philadelphia Phillies.

The Blue Jays picked up Hague off of waivers from the Pirates a year ago.

It was a weekend of re-cords at Emerald Downs

Saturday and Sunday.Stryker Phd won the

$200,000 Longacres Mile, Grade 3, for the second consecutive year joining a very small clique of three – Amble In, Trooper Sev-en and Simply Majestic.

Sunday was the 80th running of the Mile, which Joe Gottstein, founder of Longacres, began in 1935.

The consecutive win pictures for Stryker Phd

was the first at Emerald Down, which opened in 1996 after Longacres closed in 1992. Director of Publicity Joe Withee noted at the Mile postpo-sition draw Aug. 12 that more horses have won the Triple Crown than have consecutively won the Mile.

The 6-year-old geld-ing was ridden by Leslie Mawing at the high weight of 123 pounds and he ran the flat mile course in 1 minute, 34.06 seconds and paid $4.60, $3 and $2.40.

Larry Ross, assisted by Sharon Ross, is the winning trainer for own-ers Jim and Mona Hour of Bellevue. The horse was bred by Char Clark Thoroughbreds and Todd Havens.

Stryker Phd has a lifetime record of 21-8-5-5 with earnings of $485,651.

Along with the Lon-gacres Mile record, 53-year-old Enumclaw jockey Gallyn Mitchell set a few riding records while celebrating his birthday.

Mitchell guided Lady

Rosberg to the winner’s circle in the $65,000 Em-erald Distaff on Sunday.

“Today, she broke and was right with them, and I could have had the lead at any time,” Mitchell said. “And I just talked to her, and she came right back, and I did anything I

wanted in the race.”The 5-year-old mare

opened up in the stretch and passed Sarahline for a 3-1/2 length victory for trainer Tom Wenzel and owner/breeder Karl Krieg of Oak Harbor, Wash.

Feuerborn’s Scat Daddybaby wins Pete Pedersen Purse

The second week of August is time to give your potted plants extra atten-tion if you want to enjoy beautiful blooms into the fall season. By the middle of Au-gust the roots of geraniums, petunias and verbena have grown enough to fill containers of potting soil so your potted plants will need more water and another dose of fertilizer to keep

them in blooming good shape. Continue to dead-head or remove the faded blossoms to encourage

more blooms. Here are

more tips for keeping specific flow-ers producing until the first fall frost:

Fuchsia baskets Keep soil constantly

moist and fertilize with a balanced plant food like

Peter’s Professional that has all three numbers on the fertilizer label equal such as a 20-20-20 mix. Fuchsia baskets are heavy feeders and create flowers on new growth and so a lot of nitrogen helps encour-age more foliage that will deliver more flowers. Fuch-sias hate hot weather so if your hanging baskets have suffered in the heat you can give them a fresh start by cutting back the dangling braches by one third and watering well. Place your basket in a well-shaded lo-

cation and water twice daily if the temperature goes above 85 degrees. Dead-head fuchsias by removing not just the faded bloom but the swollen berry or seed pod behind the faded flower as well.

Geraniums These heat lovers will

thrive in sunny loca-tions but they must have well-drained soil. When deadheading geraniums be sure to remove the stems as well as the blossoms and collect any yellow

leaves from the base of the plants. Geraniums do well with a slow-release plant food like Osmocote and many gardeners claim their geraniums produce the most blooms when the plants are slightly stressed – either root bound in a pot that looks too small or allowed to dry out between watering. If your geraniums produce huge leaves but few blooms it may be due to a plant food that is too high in nitrogen or soil that is too rich in compost. The first number on a fertil-

izer label denotes nitrogen and this should be smaller than the second and third number for most flower-ing annuals. A classic plant food for geraniums and other bedding plants would be labeled 5-10-10.

Petunias The biggest complaint

about potted petunias is that they imitate Vegas show girls and become leg-gy. Once you see blooms on only the tips of the branches

es it is time to get snippy and cut back your petunia plants by at least one third. Daring and confident gar-deners will cut back petu-nias this month by one half. This extreme makeover will leave petunias without any flowers for a few weeks but the new growth will be full of flower buds and you’ll enjoy bushy and beautiful plants until October – but only if you feed and water your petunias immediately after the haircut.

Sad-Looking Potted Annuals

There is still time to

renew and refresh your disappointing container gardens if you visit a garden center or nursery and look for some late summer or early autumn color. Don’t focus on just plants with flowers. You

can fill your pots with leafy cabbage, fleshy suc-culents or spiky grasses and enjoy the coming fall season without the guilt of looking at miserable plants that you forgot to water. The best weather

for outdoor living in Western Washington is often the month of Sep-tember so an investment in beautiful plants during August will pay lovely returns on your energy investment.

to the win column Sun-day riding Scat Daddyba-by in the $25,000 Pete Pedersen Memorial Purse for 3-year-olds and up.

The 5-year-old Kentucky-bred gelding by Scat Daddy is owned and bred by Mike and Amy Feuerborn from Maple Valley.

Scat Daddybaby ran one mile in 1:34.17, only 0.11 seconds slower than Stryker Phd’s winning time two races earlier in the Longacres Mile.

The gelding was bumped from the Mile during the postposition draw when there were three horses at the same weight for two spots. Scat Daddybaby was the odd-horse out.

Conditioned by Robbie Baze, Scat Daddybaby won by 3 ½-lengths over Remembertobreathe.

The gelding is 6-3-1 in 19 starts with earnings of $99,439. The gelding fin-ished fourth in the 2014 Mile, after leading the field through six furlongs in 1:08.42.

Saturday was Mitchell’s birthday and he celebrat-ed by winning $50,000 Barbara Shinpoch Stakes

for 2-year-old fillies aboard Princess Kennedy.

Mitchell won two stakes over the weekend and he holds the Emerald Downs record of 80. He has won the distaff three times tying Russell Baze and Juan Gutierrez for most wins in the stakes.
