Aft er a number of people testifi ed at the public hearing at Monday night’s Maple Valley City Council meeting, one thing was clear – there was a lot of misun-derstandings and possible confu-sion about the city potentially refi nancing their $2.9 mil-lion in bonds.

Aft er the meeting, Mayor Bill Allison commented about the hearing, saying that people were misunderstanding the issue.

He said refi nancing, no matter which option the City Council chooses, is going to save the city at least $175,000.

Th e question then becomes which option does the city choose, refi nancing with tax-exempt or taxable bonds.

Here are the diff erences be-tween those options for each piece of land in question:

With the passage of I-502 in 2012, development of marijuana legislation and marijuana research has surged to unprecedented levels. In an attempt to clearly trans-late new laws and research, the Reporter and Courier-Herald will examine these issues in a four-part series. Part four of this series addresses information about the cannabis plant and the chemicals it produces.

While research on the long-term health eff ects of marijuana use and Tetrahydrocannabinol or THC have only just begun, the cannabis plant itself has been thoroughly studied. Th e anatomy of the plant is well-known; the iconic fi ve-leaf plant is easily rec-ognizable in popular culture. Th e science of growing and process-ing the cannabis plant is also well documented and studied, giving both businesses and medical dispensaries innumerable ways to utilize the plant. On a chemical level, we know how THC aff ects the human brain and can even synthesize those same chemi-cals in a lab. Consider this your Cannabis 101 class - the science behind the plant.

Th e Black Diamond City Coun-cil appointed Craig Goodwin with a 3-1 vote as its newest City Council member at the Feb. 5 meeting. Goodwin, who is retired, served on the City Council from 2010-13 and spent a year on the planning commission from 2008-

09. He did not run for re-election aft er his term ended. Th e council position opened as part of a domino eff ect when then-Mayor Dave Gordon resigned from his post Nov. 25, writing in an email that “due to circumstance beyond my control, I feel I can’t serve the duties of mayor to the standard I set for myself.” Th e council ap-

pointed mayor pro tempore Carol Benson to Gordon’s position six days later.

Four candidates — Goodwin, Patricia Pepper, William Giesen and Mario Sorci — ap-plied for the opening, though Giesen did not participate in the public interviews at a special meeting Jan. 22.

Councilwoman Tamie Deady initially nominated Pepper to the open spot at the Feb. 5 meeting, with support from Councilwoman Erika Morgan. Th e nomination failed, though, with Benson un-

breaking the 2-2 tie. Benson told Th e Reporter that she believes Pepper needs more experience in city government.

Councilman Ron Taylor initiat-ed the vote for Goodwin, with Morgan casting the council’s lone “no” vote against the candidate.

In his public interview with the council Jan. 22, Goodwin said he plans to primarily focus on the city’s fi scal health. Other areas of interest include

the Black Diamond Community Center, listening to the commu-nity and the YarrowBay master

planned developments.Goodwin could not be reached

for comment prior to press deadline.

In his written answers to ques-tions from the council, Good-win wrote, “With our son now having successfully completed treatment for cancer, I am once again in a position to devote the time required to be an eff ective and contributing member of the council.”

Benson told Th e Reporter Fri-day that Goodwin’s previous time on the council will be benefi cial.

“I’m sure he is going to be a good fi t,” she said.

It is pretty safe to say that a large majority of Wash-ington residents weren’t in the best mood on Sunday, Feb. 1. But, even before the turnover in the fourth quarter ended the Se-ahawks’ hopes for another championship, a group of twelves from Ravensdale were dealing with another loss.

Tina Mc-Donough and her husband Cory, 10-year season ticket holders and Super Bowl XLVIII attendees, booked their flight and hotel for Super Bowl XLIX back in November. The morning of Jan. 19, the day after the Seahawks won the NFC Championship, they purchased their tickets for the big game in Arizona.

Not only are Tina and Cory supporters of their local NFL team, they also support their own commu-nity in a big way.

Over the past seven years, McDonough and her Valley Girls and Guys team have raised more than $1.5 million for the Susan G. Komen foundation for breast cancer research.

Tina said she used a third party website to purchase their tickets after compar-ing prices on several other websites. A couple days

later, she said, she received a confirmation for her ticket order and an invoice. A few more days passed and Tina said she received an email stating the tickets would be available to pick up at 11 a.m. the day of the Super Bowl.

Then, on Thursday, Jan. 29 she received another email from the seller stating

they would not be getting their tickets and they would issue a 125 percent refund for the amount that she paid.

The email reads, “Our trustworthy connection for obtaining tickets

for this event that we were working with has failed us.”

Tina said she was very emotional about the situ-ation and spent the next several hours hunting for tickets online. She said the price for a single ticket in the same section as her other tickets were going for $12,500. She originally paid $2,390 per ticket.

After another phone call to the ticket seller, they settled on getting a 150 percent refund back, which the McDonough’s received Thursday, Feb. 5

But, they still wanted to go to the game.

“It was never about the money,” Tina said.

Despite not having

tickets in hand, she and her husband and their two friends boarded their flight in SeaTac and flew down south.

Upon their arrival in Arizona on Saturday, Jan. 31, Tina said they “hit the pavement” trying to find tickets at a reasonable price.

“We got news stations involved,” she explained.

After interviews with the media, she said they found someone with three tickets to sell for $5,000 each.

She said, “We had a glim-mer of hope.”

But, Tina said once the seller found out that the tickets were going for $9,000 elsewhere, he wanted $3,000 more per ticket.

But Tina, Cory and their friends were capped out at $5,000.

“We were going to pay the $5,000 for the three tickets and then pay the big money for the fourth,” Tina said. “That was our max.”

The four “twelves” spent their Super Bowl Sunday watching the game from a nearby bar.

Since their story was first aired on KOMO News, Tina said they have received some backlash from people saying, “lots of people…couldn’t get tickets.”

Tina equated her trip to the Super Bowl as a family vacation.

“I don’t expect everybody

to understand it,” she said. “Imagine that you’ve got your vacation (all planned out), then the carpet gets pulled out from you the day before. (My vacation) just happens to be the Super Bowl.”

Tina’s story is not the only one of its kind that came out of Arizona on Feb. 1. ESPN estimated that several hundred other foot-ball fans were left ticketless on Super Bowl Sunday.

The day before the big game, ESPN published a story on their website about the situation.

The article stated, “In most cases, those selling tickets never had them to begin with. The practice, called short selling, has become common for big games over the years.”

On Monday, Feb. 9, the office of Attorney General Bob Ferguson released a statement encouraging people to file complaints with their office if they purchased Super Bowl tick-ets and those tickets were unavailable to them by the brokers.

The release stated, “The office will review all complaints to determine whether individual brokers’ actions violated Wash-ington State’s Consumer Protection Act.”

Consumer complaints can be filed at atg.wa.gov.

Ticketless at the Super Bowl for Seahawks fan

Volunteers are hard at work on a new and improved database of all the plants growing in Lake Wilder-ness Arboretum.

“The difference between a park and a garden is knowing what plants you have and why,” said Susan Goodell, garden manager “We are working to catalog and map all of the existing plants in our gardens as part of a new accessions program.”

Currently, longtime volunteer Bob Dunning and accessions coordinator Alex have created a map of the arboretum that shows each garden, bed and trail. Bed numbers are assigned and the team has begun to inventory all plants growing in each bed, a process which will take several months to complete. The Lake Wilderness Arboretum Foundation is now investigating the available web-based programs for using the database. The entire project could continue through 2015.

An accurate inventory and map of Arboretum plants will allow volun-teers to better track propagation and maintenance of all collections as well as benefit docents in educating the community. Goodell hopes the database will eventually be available to visitors online, to look up the Arboretum’s plant col-lections from their computers.

A recent statistic from the Feb. 2, 2015, News-week magazine (p. 13) noted that 50 percent is the “share of the world’s wealth that will be held by the richest 1 percent across the globe by 2016.” Income inequality has grown enormously over the past 30 years. As these numbers suggest, we are facing a growing epidemic of poverty with all its attendant problems, but the rich are in danger, too.

“Th e yawning gap between rich and poor…is not just bad for the poor. It’s also bad for the rich.” At least so says an article found in Th e WEEK, dated Dec. 31, 2014. Th e studies detail the eff ects of wealth and changes in the brains that occur in the super wealthy. Studies show that enormous prosperity can be bad for your mental health.

According to Th e WEEK, research out of the University of California—Berkley describes a study by the school’s psychology department where they installed cameras and placed note takers on streets that had four-way signs. Th e study found that people who drove expensive cars were four times as likely to cut in front of other cars than were people driving cheap cars.

Pedestrians were ignored 46.2 percent of the time by drivers in expensive cars. A related study done in Manhattan found that drivers of high status vehicles tended to double-park at a far greater rate than those with cheaper vehicles.

Another study found that rich people were far more likely to take candy from a jar marked for children as they left a series of scientifi c testings. Another researcher found the richer a person became, the more likely he was to cheat. A study done by the New York State Psychiatric Institute of 43,000 Americans found that the rich were

more likely to shoplift by a wide margin.Additionally, a study by the nonprofi t Inde-

pendent Sector found that people who made $25,000 or less a year gave away, on average, 4.2 percent of their incomes, while those making more than $150,000 a year gave away only 2.7 percent.

A UCLA neuroscientist, Keely Muscatell, noted in a published paper that, “Wealth quiets the nerves in the brain associated with empathy. When rich and poor people were shown pictures of children with cancers, poor people’s brains showed more activity than those of the rich.”

According to these studies, inequality triggers chemical reactions in the brains of the privileged few, causing them to be less caring about others. It also makes them less happy. Mike Norton, a Harvard professor from its Business School, did a study on an investment bank’s millionaires. He

found that aft er a certain point in wealth acquisi-tion, getting richer had no eff ect on increasing ones’ happiness.

“When these millionaires were asked what would make them happy, all of them said they needed two to three times more than they had to feel happier.”

All these studies indicate that the increasing gap between rich and poor is not just a matter of social justice; it is also, “the enemy of economic success and human happiness.” Th e rich’s wealth can become as damaging as poverty on the poor.

Fortunately, the rich can read articles like Th e WEEK’s and fi nd ways to guard against wealth’s ill eff ects. Some wealthy have done so by giving their wealth away. For the rest of us, wanting to be wealthy may not be as great as it’s cracked up to be. Th ere is danger to both great wealth and great poverty.

In case you haven’t been alerted, let this cupid-loving writer do so: the annual day of hearts, kisses and fl owers arrives this Saturday. It’s always nice when it falls on a weekend.

With the excep-tion of the Christmas season, Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday and, while it isn’t really an offi cial holiday, it certainly should be.

In past columns, I’ve written extensively about the enor-mous amount of scientifi c work that’s been devoted to the explora-tion of sex and love; and, strange as it may seem, researchers have absolutely no problem separating the two. Indeed, love and sex are so profoundly diff erent – that is, they’re located in diff erent parts of the brain, generate diff erent electri-cal patterns and off er diff erent color intensities – you have to wonder why any confusion ever occurs. But,

as we’re all painfully aware, such confusion happens all the time.

Sexual desire is a physical and vital energy that’s easily observed in a CAT scan. But it’s also a bit mys-tifying; at least, there are aspects of the energy fi eld that aren’t yet understood.

Th e power of sexual attraction can be so great, delaying gratifi ca-

tion oft en becomes diffi cult. Nevertheless, we usually manage to do so. Aft er all, the alternative is to throw caution and control to the wind and suddenly and spontaneously shed all your clothing and inhibitions, which

can result in considerable personal embarrassment and jail time, espe-cially if you happen to be sitting in Th e Mint with the aft ernoon lunch crowd.

If our sexual fl ames are continu-ously fanned and then frustrated, we can become angry, even violent. On the other hand, love is never frustrated or hostile. It’s a much more gentle, peaceful and endur-ing energy fi eld, yet it’s still easy to detect and measure. Real love

doesn’t demand satisfaction; real love understands that it may not be reciprocated. A mother will contin-ued to love her son, no matter how mean and deceitful the child might be. (Th e idea that your “invest-ment” should necessarily produce a return is a sexual thing, not a love thing.)

And fi nally, we don’t necessarily desire sex with the objects of our aff ections. Freudian theory and Jim Morrison withstanding, most young men are not incestuously drawn to their mothers. Further-more, though we have a deep and abiding love for our pet animals, most of us aren’t about to lapse into perversions with the family dog.

But that’s enough of such psy-chological ramblings. Instead, let this hopeless romantic off er my suggestion for a splendid aft ernoon and evening. Kneel before your lady, off er her a dozen red roses, a bottle of Blackstone Merlot and reservations at one of her favorite restaurants. And given the current reviews of some movie critics, you might also include a couple tickets to “Fift y Shades of Gray.”

Happy Valentine’s Day!

A Feb. 21 spaghetti din-ner fundraiser is planned for Black Diamond Police Commander Greg Goral, who is in the midst of a two year fight with a rare cancer.

Goral spent 10 years with the Albuquerque Police Department, where he was awarded a Meritorious Medal for his actions, along with two other officers, during an apartment fire

in 2004. With the Black Diamond department, he oversees the day-to-day operations, which includes patrol, investigations and marine services.

Doctors first found a small cancerous tumor in Goral’s appendix in August of 2012 following a bout with appendicitis. Appendix cancer is rare accounting for about .5 percent of all intestinal cancers, according to cancer.net. Three months after the cancer discovery,

surgeons removed a portion of Goral’s large intestine during a right hemicolec-tomy surgery, leaving him temporarily cancer free. Two more tumors were found in his abdomen in the spring of 2014, which led to chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

A more invasive proce-dure, called hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemo-therapy will be performed Friday at the University of California-San Diego.

Goral lives with his wife and two daughters, ages 10 and 15, in Maple Valley. Black Diamond Police Chief Jamey Kiblinger said Goral has the entire department’s support.

“He’s not just a good cop, he’s my partner,” she said. “He’s just a great person.”

The dinner fundraiser in-cludes homestyle spaghetti, bread, salad and dessert with all of the proceeds do-nated to the Goral family.

The fundraiser will be

from 5 to 9 p.m. Feb. 21 at Black Diamond Eagles Hall, 32618 Railroad Ave. Cost is $25 per family, $10 per individual. Raffle tickets for a local, handmade quilt will be sold for $1 each.

Besides the fundraiser, donations can be sent to Cops with Cancer, a 501(c)(3) charity that has created a CrowdRise site dedicated to raising funds for Goral.

All donations on the site are tax deductible and eligible for matching funds for cur-rent and former Microsoft employees via the Gates Foundation. Donations can be made online, or by contacting Lisa Ellis at (206) 372-2671 for more options or assistance in donating. The link to the CrowdRise site is https://www.crow-drise.com/MilesForGreg.

RAYNAUD’S DISEASEImagine being out in the freezing cold until the tips of

your fingers turn white and then blue. Now imagine that this disturbing phenomenon could happen just as a result of feeling stressed. This is the case for those individuals who suffer from Raynaud’s disease. This rare disorder affects the blood vessels by causing them to become very narrow when the sufferer is cold or feeling stressed. When the blood vessels narrow, blood can no longer reach the surface of the skin, causing its color to change. When the body warms or the stress is relieved, the blood flow returns and the skin goes from blue or white to bright red. The affected area may tingle, throb, or swell.

Raynaud’s Disease appears to be more common in people who live in colder climates. People with the disorder who live in mild climates may have more attacks during colder weather. About 25 percent of people with Raynaud’s have a family history of the condition.

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

To Flush or Not To Flush?Th ere are diff erent kinds of

fl uids in today’s vehicles. Every manufacturer has a specifi c maintenance schedule that is needed to be performed based on specifi c miles or time. Most problems with todays vehicles occur due to

lack of maintenance. If you are following a specifi c maintenance schedule then go ahead and fl ush, just be sure to use the proper fl uids based on the manufacturer approved specifi cations.

When not to fl ush? If your vehicle has any symptoms or issues then fl ushing could do more harm than good. Also, if the fl uids have not been changed on a regular schedule or if there is any indication that the fl uid is burnt or contaminated it should not be fl ushed. Stop by East Hill Auto Service and get a courtesy inspection today.

• Can the city use all of the land for private use? Yes.

Henry’s Switch was also purchased us-ing the same tax-exempt bonds. However, as stated in a previous article, that piece of property was purchased from the county and has additional deed restric-tions. Parks and Recreation Director Greg Brown said the entire property must be set aside for public use in perpetuity, even if the bonds are changed to taxable.

None of these options for refi nancing aff ect the city’s ability to sell the property. However, at the previous City Council meeting none of the council members either suggested or recommended that the city sell either property.

Shawn Hunstock, the city’s fi nance di-rector, said there is some risk to fi nancing with tax-exempt bonds.

Hypothetically speaking, he said, if in the next two or three years someone comes to the city with a project idea for the legacy site and the city wants to sell more than the 27.25 acres that could be used for private purposes, the city would have to pay off the entire amount of the bonds. Th is would mean the city would have to sell that portion of the land for the outstanding bond amount.

Th e council is scheduled to make fi nal action on the issue of refi nancing the bonds at the next regular meeting sched-uled at 7 p.m. on Feb. 23.

Starting Feb. 23, a section of Covington Way Southeast will be closed until mid-May for the sewer main construction project.

Work on the project started in June and has impacted several arterial streets in Coving-ton. Intermittent one-lane closures started Feb. 9 on Covington Way Southeast between 168th Place Southeast and Southeast Wax Road as a new phase of the project got under way.

Th e project is part of the Soos Creek Water and Sewer District’s regional plan to upgrade the Covington Town Center’s sewer system aft er it was rezoned by the city.

Th e whole project is estimated to cost about $20 million, according to the district’s Gen-eral Manager Ron Speer. Th e district is paying for the project out of its capital programs fund.

Th e cost to hook up to the new sewer system will be about $3,000 per single family equivalent home, said Speer. Th is cost is only associated with new hook ups, not existing ones.

For comparison, King County’s cost to hook up to their sewer system is $57 per month for 15 years, or about $10,000 according to the county’s website.

Planning for Soos Creek project started about 3 1/2 years ago. To date, about 25 percent of the entire project is complete and the rest is under construction. Speer said their target completion date is in December 2015.

Th e district said in a press release people should expect construction noise and dust, traffi c delays, and school bus stop relocations during the road closures. Th e school district will notify students when these changes will occur and where to go to catch the bus, ac-cording to the release.

I have a fi xation about keeping a fairly consistent sleep schedule throughout a weekend or extended holiday, so the fi rst day back doesn’t seem like such a shock.

Personally, I’m pretty good at this. I go to bed at 10 and get up at 6 with my daughter on normal weekdays; on holidays and weekends I try to go to bed between 10:00 and 11:00 and get up between 7 and 8. On the other hand, my children and husband do not, nor do they seem particularly interested in participating.

I get that my husband doesn’t want get up at 3:45 on the weekends; I wouldn’t either. But he could go

to bed at say 10 and get up whenever he wakes up, he only sleeps about 6-7 hours anyway. Instead he makes himself stay awake until midnight or 1 on Friday, aft er having got-ten up that morning for work at that ungodly hour.

“Awake” is relative as he’s gotten really good at sitting in the offi ce chair in front of the com-puter in a balanced lean, hand on the mouse, TV blaring away next to him, fast asleep. He can hold that stance for several hours.

I used to wake him up on my way to bed and suggest he pack it in. He’d deny he’d even been asleep and say, “But it’s the weekend” or “I’m watching this,” and promptly fall back to sleep. I gave up a few years ago, fi guring he’s a big boy and can take care of himself.

In spite of their father’s bad example, I’ve tried to instill

in my daughters how important it is to have routine sleep habits. I understand they aren’t interested in being anywhere at 7:35 a.m., like the hour high school starts, but they could attempt to go to bed at a somewhat decent hour so they’d wake up at a normal time.

I am one of those mean parents who demand my daugh-ters head for bed during the week at 9:00 so they get a good eight hours. I don’t care if they are in high school and practically of legal adult age (snort of derision), as long as they are living under my roof, they will not be sleeping on their desks at school.

Putting these rules into place hasn’t helped in the least. My oldest is now away at college and I can’t do anything about her bedtime. I quit trying last school year when she was living at home and had only night classes at the local

THE CANNABIS PLANTOne of the fi rst things

people learn about cannabis and marijuana is there are countless diff erent strains of marijuana.

However, there are three general subspecies of can-nabis: cannabis sativa, can-nabis indica, and cannabis ruderalis (sativa, indica and ruderalis should be italicized). Th e current can-nabis market for medical cannabis and recreational marijuana focus on can-nabis sativa and cannabis indica for their chemical content.

Cannabis sativa tends to grow closer to the equator and in warmer climates. Th e plant is tree-like, grow-ing tall and thin with thin leaves.

When the sativa plant is dried and smoked, it is reputed to give users an uplift ing or energetic high.

Cannabis indica is naturally grown further away from the equator in colder climates. Th e plant is shorter and bushier than its cousin with wider leaves.

Highs from the indica plant tend to be more relax-ing and calming, and may induce the stereotypical stoner “couch lock”.

While many cannabis and marijuana users will stand by the various eff ects of cannabis sativa versus cannabis indica, marijuana producer and processor Jonathan Swartz of Sylica Phoenix would dispute this.

“Indicas and sativas have a reputation for produc-ing a certain eff ect,” Swartz said. “But I would challenge anyone to prove and dem-onstrate an indica or sativa that is purely an indica or sativa, so they can say this is what the eff ect is.”

Th e confusion, Swartz said, comes from the fact many cannabis plants have been mixed genetically, crossing sativa genes with indica genes.

“We have Grape-Wreck; Grape Ape (an indica strain) and Train Wreck (a sativa strain) mixed to-gether,” said Swartz. “People think it is an indica but no, it’s a hybrid with apparently indica characteristics.”

Peter Pessiki of Integrity Labs, which tests cannabis and marijuana products for quality control, said that it is not yet known why sativa strains and indica strains produce diff erent eff ects, although researchers guess there are secondary chemi-cals in the plant may cause the diff erent eff ects.

Products sold in stores or dispensaries typically come from the female plant. In order to control cannabis sub-strains, which in turn controls the THC and chemical content of the plant, male plants have to be carefully controlled in order to prevent the ac-cidental pollination of an entire female batch.

According to Swartz, when a female plant is pol-linated, it ends the plant’s fl owering process early, halts THC production and produces seeds, all of which the market would prefer to avoid in plants meant to be used for products.

Th e female fl ower buds are typically harvested from the terminal cola, which is located at the top of the plant. However, buds can be found at many sites along the plant.

Th e buds themselves are composed of tight bunches of small leaves and calyxes, tear-shaped nodules that contain the glands that secrete THC and other chemicals, known as can-nabinoids.

Th ese glands, or tri-chomes, are found in abun-dance in the buds, but can also be found on the stem and leaves of the cannabis plant as well.

PROCESSING THE PLANTTh e cannabis plant can

be processed several diff er-ent ways to get it ready for consumption.

Many do-it-yourself web-sites, like Marijuana Grow-ers HQ, explain that drying the cannabis plant aft er harvesting it is extremely important.

One way to dry the plant is to hang it on a line, use mesh screens, or a drying cage.

A diff erent process is needed for extracts and edibles.

According to CannLabs, another cannabis testing company, many cannabis processors soak the plant in a solvent, such as butane, isopropyl alcohol or etha-nol, to begin the extraction process.

THC and other cannabi-noids in the cannabis plant bond to the liquid solvent and are pulled off the plant.

Th e plant materials, sans cannabinoids, are then fi ltered out of the solvent mixture.

Th e solvent is also removed, leaving only the cannabinoids from the plant ready to be mixed into food products like chocolates or brownies, or even put into gel capsules for consumption.

Sylica Phoenix uses butane for their extraction process, and their end-product is 80 percent plus THC extract.

Other methods for ex-tracting cannabinoids from the cannabis

plant include using carbon dioxide (CO2), water and dry sieves, each resulting in diff erent potency and chemical content.

CANNABINOIDS AND OTHER CHEMICALS

Cannabinoids are the active chemicals in can-nabis. Th e University of Washington Alcohol and Drug Abuse Institute has said there are 66 classifi ed cannabinoids, although sev-eral cannabis information websites claim there are more than 85 cannabinoids in the plant.

Th e most commonly-known cannabinoid is tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the psychoactive chemical many researchers believe is responsible for the high users receive when consuming marijuana.

However, you can’t just chow down on a raw can-nabis plant to get buzzed.

Th e cannabis plant

creates a chemical called tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, or THCA.

According to Pessiki, THCA is not psychoactive because the chemical is at-tached to a carboxylic acid.

“With that group on there, it does not have any of the psychological eff ects,” Pessiki said. “It doesn’t get you stoned.”

Pessiki said THCA must undergo a form of combus-tion in order to activate the chemical.

“By heating it, you lose carbon dioxide, CO2, and once it spits out that CO2 molecule, it is now active and ready to interact with your brain,” he said.

When THCA becomes active, it turns into THC delta-9, which is a more specifi c way to refer to psychoactive THC.

Swartz said consuming cannabis and THCA with-out combustion, “is like eating grass.”

A lesser-known can-nabinoid is cannabidiol. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, cannabidiol (CBD) has been used for medical treatments and for treating epilepsy. CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, meaning it won’t get a user high like THC, and has been used to treat pain, psycho-sis and addiction to other substances.

When THC and CBD are consumed, these cannabi-noids aff ect the endocan-nabinoid system in a person’s brain.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, hu-man brains already produce cannabinoid chemicals naturally.

Th ese natural cannabi-noids and cannabis canna-binoids are very similar in shape on a molecular level, which is why THC and CBD can aff ect the human brain.

Th e natural cannabinoid that is similar to THC is called anandamide.

Th e natural cannabinoids, however, are weaker versions than THC and CBD, and are broken down in the brain more easily.

Because THC and CBD are stronger chemicals, they aff ect the brain for longer than the natural chemicals.

Other chemicals found in cannabis include terpenes. According to scientifi c staff at Integrity Labs, terpenes give cannabis strains specifi c odors, which range from typical skunk smell of marijuana to the citrus scent of Night Train, according to the Medical Marijuana Strains website.

Flavinoids are also found in cannabis, and when smoked, can give the user unique tastes, from a woody and earthy taste to key lime pie.

community college.I did learn over the

summer that it was to my advantage to let them man-age their own schedules as long as we didn’t have any plans the next day. They would often stay up so late, they said goodbye to their father as he left the house around 4:00 for work. Then the next morning, I had the house to myself for several hours. I have to admit, it was rather nice.

Now that my oldest is out of the house, I know she is going to bed and waking up at different times every day depending on her schedule the next day. Oh well, I’ve done my part and it’s out of my hands. However, my youngest has a year and half more of high school; I still have a narrow opportunity to set her straight. So Friday I once again said, “In order to keep you from waking up in shock on Monday, what time shall I wake you up tomorrow?”

She said, “Try me at 10.”

[ SLEEP from page 6]

If you’ve paying attention to the news lately, vaccinations—and more specifically measles—have certainly been in the forefront of the discussion. Following a recent confirmed case of measles in King County, now is a good time to share what we know about vaccinations, and why it is so important for everyone to receive them.

Why should people get vaccinated?

Vaccinations protect you, your family and your community from serious diseases such as measles, whooping cough and hepatitis, to name a few. Avoiding vaccinations not only puts you at greater risk of disease, it puts the entire com-munity at risk. For vaccinations to work effectively, everyone needs to be vaccinated. When 90 to 95 per-cent of a community is protected, it is nearly impossible for a germ to cause an epidemic.

If you are a parent considering delaying or skipping vaccinations for your children, know that this decision impacts not only your

children, but your whole com-munity. If more than 10 percent of parents in a community were to choose to “opt out” of vaccines, the likelihood of an epidemic increases

dramatically, potentially affecting everyone in the community.

Who should be vac-cinated for measles?

Measles can be pre-vented through vaccina-tion with the Measles Mumps Rubella (MMR) vaccine. Children should

be vaccinated with two doses of the MMR vaccine—between 12 to 15 months of age and the second dose, between four to six years of age. Infants traveling outside the United States can be vaccinated earlier. In Washington state, all children are required to have the MMR for entry into a school or childcare center.

Adults should have at least one dose of measles vaccine. Two doses are recommended for international travelers, healthcare workers and students in college, trade school and other schools after high school.

What are the symptoms of measles?

Look for fever, rash, cough and red, watery eyes. Symptoms arrive late—7 to 21 days after exposure. Pregnant women, infants under six months of age, the unvaccinated and those with weakened immune systems are at highest risk from exposure to measles.

How is measles spread? Very easily.

The virus is in the mucus in the nose or throat of a person with measles, spreading easily through the air when the person sneezes or coughs. Droplets can get into other people’s noses or throats when they breathe or from contact with objects that have been sneezed or coughed on. The virus can live in the air for up to 2 hours.

People can unknowingly spread measles before they have the mea-sles rash. The contagious period is about four days before the rash appears through four days after the rash can be seen.

What do you do if you think you may have been exposed to measles?

Stay home, avoid public places

and consult your healthcare pro-vider immediately. Be sure to call ahead before visiting your health-care provider to avoid spreading measles to other people in the waiting room.

Measles vaccine given within three days of exposure can help prevent infection in those who are healthy and not pregnant. Immune globulin is a medication that can be used within 6 days of exposure to protect people at high risk for complications from measles.

A student approaches Josiah Bronson with a mock microphone and asks, “How does it feel to get college paid for?” Another follows, “How does it feel to be moving so far away from your family?”

Bronson, sitting solemnly behind a table in the Kent-wood High School Library, responds the same way to both questions, slightly altering his intonation with each: “I’m only here so I won’t get fi ned.”

Th e crowd of 25-plus of Bronson’s teammates and family members laughed at the Conk senior’s best Mar-shawn Lynch impression Feb. 4, moments prior to signing his letter of intent to play football at Temple University in Philadelphia, Penn.

Bronson was rated as a three-star recruit on Rivals.

com, with a gaudy 4.75 second 40-yard dash time to go with his 6-foot-5-inch, 265 pound frame. Th e Kentwood defensive end, who fi nished the 2014 sea-son as a fi rst-team AP all-state selection at defensive end, picked the full scholar-ship off er from the Owls over multiple other schools, including the University of New Mexico. Bronson’s head coach, Rex Norris, said Ohio State University showed interest in Bronson, but only as a walk-on.

Temple’s defensive line coach Elijah Robinson played football with Bron-son’s oldest brother, John, at Penn State University. John played in a total of three games in the NFL as a tight end for the Arizona Cardinals during the 2005 and 2006 seasons. Josiah’s other brother, Demitrius, a running back on the Seattle Seahawks practice squad during the 2014 season who recently signed a contract

with the Seahawks for the 2015 season, attended Jo-siah’s signing celebration.

Josiah visited Temple on Jan. 23, his only col-lege visit, and came away impressed with the school’s business program, campus and coaches. He expects to receive playing time as a freshman, though Norris told Th e Reporter he doubts it will be that easy.

“He has the athleticism to do that, but the hardest place to get playing time (when young) is on the line,” he said. “Th ey are so much stronger.”

Temple, which plays in the Atlantic Athletic Con-ference, fi nished the 2014 season with a 6-6 record, four more wins than the previous season.

Josiah offi cially signed his scholarship at 7 a.m., during national signing day, but engaged in the commit-ment pageantry performed by hundreds of other football prospects around

the country. Sitting beside his parents and in front of his throng of supporters, Bronson signed a copy of the original document. Bronson said the excite-ment of the day kept him from sleeping well and that he woke up at 5 a.m.

“It’s the earliest I’ve got-ten up since I don’t know when,” he said.

Josiah’s grandfather, George Waters, said he plans to “make a few trips” to Josiah’s games. Josiah’s parents, Johnny and San-dra, plan to attend every game.

Bronson said he’d be on a path to graduate in three years, just in case he wants to declare for the draft aft er his junior season.

February blooms with the Northwest Flower and Garden Show and this year the five-day show in Seattle runs Feb. 11–15. In honor of Valentine’s Day, “Romance Blossoms” is the show theme and there will be more than an acre of gorgeous display gardens with more than 350 marketplace exhibitors. Romance is a great theme for making this year’s show a date night, weekend in the city or – as we’ve seen in past years – a beautiful site for a marriage proposal.

You’ll be inspired to start a new garden or renovate your old outdoor space by learning from the free seminars at the show. New this year is a

contest called “Garden Wars” that pits novice gardeners against each other to design and install an instant garden – just like a TV reality show.

Garden renovation is a lot like decluttering your indoor space with a fresh look and clean sweep of the overgrown, overdone and overwhelming plants and design elements in your out-door space. If you can’t make it to my seminar at the show on opening day, here are the top five tips for renovating

your garden this spring:

1. Prune, snip and

saw away the overgrown.

The gray weather in West-ern Washington

demands that maximum sunlight be allowed into windows and any home-owner who hates to prune will find the inside of their homes grows darker as trees and shrubs around the house grow larger. Don’t procrasti-nate with the excuse that the season is not quite right for pruning. Prune anyway.

2. Grow your health by planting more herbs

and vegetables. Simple ideas like adding a pot of mint near the back door for herbal tea or a bed of basil in a hot spot for summer fresh pesto will make even the most inexperi-enced gardener a success as a backyard farmer.

3. Start a collection and grow what you love.

Life is short, live with more passion. Take out the back lawn and replaced it with raised beds for your grow-ing collection of dahlias or just make this the year you finally get rid of the junipers and design a more pleasing display of compact or dwarf conifers.

4. Rejuvenate the gardener with practical

moves. Gardens have been sanctuaries since Eden and making your outdoor space a place to destress and enjoy is as simple as practicing mindful moves like gentle stretching while gardening. Use the right tool to avoid muscle sprains. Decide to “garden” instead of “doing yard work” and dare to leave the cell phone indoors. You’ll plug into the sounds and sites of nature as you allow your mind to slow down and wander while actually enjoy-ing the repetitive but instant gratification of weeding, watering and planting.

5. Move your plants. Rearranging the

furniture inside your home can open up a whole new perspective and rearranging your landscape plants can have the same effect. We live in a mild winter area and February is the perfect time to imagine your plants have wheels. Large plants may require lots of digging to remove and replace into new planting holes but we all need more exercise and putting the right plant in the right place fulfills the promise of both the renovated garden and rejuvenated gardener.
