Th e former Elk Run Golf Course is looking less and less like a golf course as the weeks go on. Th e course closed last October and about 5 acres of its greens will soon be home to the new Elk Run Farm.

Th e farm is a project of the South King County Food Coali-tion, which represents the food banks in the area.

Th e produce grown at the farm will be donated to area food banks for people in need.

Th e owners of the property, Roy Humphreys and Daryl Con-nell, will lease the portion of their land to the coalition for the farm and its infrastructure.

Th e coalition is currently conducting a feasibility study and plans to do water and soil testing

before anything takes root. Katie Pencke, the farm man-

ager, said the location of the farm will be where the old clubhouse was and it will run east to west along the main parking lot and underneath the Bonneville Power Administration transmission line that runs through the property.

Matt Torpey, senior planner for the city of Maple Valley, said the group has received approval from BPA to build the farm there.

Pencke and Lila Henderson, executive director of the Maple Valley Food Bank, made a presen-tation during the April 29 plan-ning commission meeting about the project.

Torpey said there was unani-mous concurrence from the commission to include the recom-mended policies in the compre-hensive plan that would support

the elk run farm proposal.Pencke said the coalition is

looking for individuals in the community to assist with the farm’s infrastructure. Farm man-agement held a volunteer drop-in day Tuesday, May 19 to allow people to help with the work that needs to get done, including establishing permanent storage in what used to be the driving range. More of these volunteer days are planned, Pencke said, and specifi c dates will be announced once they are scheduled.

“We are currently seeking to schedule days of service with groups of 10-30 people to clean up driving range, grub out black-berries (and) clean gutters on the bbq shelter building,” she said in an email.

Th ey are also looking for some-one with a riding mower to help

mow the grass the coalition will be leasing. Th e group also needs people to do light carpentry work, electrical work and provision of materials to create storage spaces.

Funding and general communi-ty involvement is also something

the coalition is seeking. “We envision a volunteer

advisory board of neighbors and community stakeholders who will help to provide connections to re-sources and advocate for the farm.

to resources and advocate for the farm. We are cur-rently seeking a community member who would be interested in talking more with us about this concept and perhaps lay some groundwork for the groups formation,” Pencke said.

The group and many volunteers worked on Tuesday to clear anything usable out of the restaurant before it gets demolished, which is scheduled to hap-pen within the next month, Pencke said.

something to control traffic around the site,” he said in a phone interview. “We’re just not sure exactly what we’re going to do yet.”

The company is in stage one of the process; they have submitted a com-mercial site development permit application to the city.

After reviewing and accepting the application, a several-month process ac-cording to Hart, demolition

can start on what used to be Burger King on Kent-Kangley Road.

After that, the company must apply for a building permit to get construction started on the new restau-rant.

The public is invited to comment on the potential for the new restaurant by emailing Kelly Thompson, permit center coordinator for the city. Her email is [email protected]. Alternatively, com-ments can be submitted in writing and mailed or brought to City Hall. Com-ments are being accepted until June 5.

Representatives from Chick-Fil-A were not immediately available for comment.

Cross country running club’s annual Bear Run registration opens

Ah, to be 20 years old again – getting new jobs, fi guring out the world – not on my life. I would not want to be in my early 20s again for 50 pieces of gold. I don’t know about you, but those days were some of the most emotional roller coaster days of my life. With hormones changing at a rapid pace, so-ciety deeming 20-year-old adults, and all the expecta-tions humanity puts on us at that age, it’s kind of like yelling “Hang on, we’re go-ing for a ride!”

It’s a shame, only because I believe our 20s should be a time of exploration and discovery without the pressure to perform. On the other hand, who can aff ord it? Not the 20 year old.

Now that my daughter is 20, the déjà vu of it hit me like a ton of bricks. It’s like reliving it all over again and it’s not always pleasant journey. As my daughter jumped on the roller coaster, she took a hold of me, even though I didn’t want to go on the ride again. It made me queasy the fi rst time, why

would I want to do it again? But she’s my daughter, and although unwilling, I will do anything for my kids.

I am, however, only viewing it from the sidewalk. But like when I watched my youngest take off on the “Califor-nia Screamin’” roller coaster at California Adventure in Disneyland, the

wave of nausea hit me then, too.

Th e thing about roller coasters is there is a defi ni-tive end. Not necessarily so with the journey we call our 20s, they just kind of fade off into the abyss. All we parents can hope for is that the 20-something lets us know the current “adven-ture” has come to an end; unlike what happened last week.

My daughter had a school thing, a roommate thing, a job thing. When she got her fi rst job she was unable to contact and I found out via my young-est daughter’s friend who saw it on Facebook and told us while we were at a high school play. I called my oldest aft er the play to

congratulate her. I asked if she was coming home that weekend and she said, “Why?”

“I don’t know, you said you might. I guess for moral support for all the stuff you’ve been going through.”

“Oh, I worked that out. We’re good. I don’t feel like driving home.”

Gee, thanks. Here I was stuck at the acme of the hill and she’s all good now. Th ere was relief on my part, but also a huge epiphany. I need to apologize to my mother. Like I said, my early 20s were a time of extreme turmoil and I drug my mother along with me. Unlike my situation with cell phones, texting, Skype and Facebook, my mother had to wait until the next land-line phone call to get down off her peak.

I apologized in person the other day and for her it was like when Simeon saw the baby Jesus for the fi rst time: “Now dismiss your servant in peace, for I have seen your salvation.”

So mother, I am sorry. I am sorry for any pain I

Food, food, yummy food so good and bad.I have discovered from a most reliable

source the fall in the Garden of Eden was about losing out on what we get to eat. Specifically, after 50 there is no more stuffing our-selves with cold pizza and praline ice cream at mid-night – or for breakfast.

My long-term relation-ship with food has been complicated by an evil blood sugar machine. Now I get to watch young, talented reporters like Ray Still standing behind me mumbling inaudibly with doughnut dust all over his shirt. (I sip my glass of buttermilk and feel superior… rotten youth.)

Because of my ups and outs with food, Becky Gourley, wunderkind reporter work-ing at the Covington Reporter office, and I have decided to launch a food feature page. I have been trying to find someone as inter-ested in digestive puzzles as I am. Becky is perfect. She likes to experiment as much as I do. She takes recipes and converts them to vegan and diabetic delectables without making it taste like first-grade paper paste, which wasn’t all that bad. She also puts up with my incredibly hilarious food jokes and

anecdotes. The plan is for me to find a traditional

recipe and Becky will convert the dish into different forms – vegan, vegetarian, diabetic happy or some other word I have never heard of and no one tells me about... (I suspect Becky and Sarah Wehmann keep things like that from me – you know the, “he’s too old to know about that” thing. But I’m on to them; they

just don’t know it.)Becky has a talent with food and cooking

and enjoys wrecking a dish a few times to find a new way.

We are both looking forward to beginning this feature page within the next couple of weeks.

If you have recipe you would like us to fea-ture, send it to me at [email protected] or [email protected].

The 70th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe is upon us. This war was a shock to several nations. It signaled the end of world domination of one group of nations as major world powers – Germany, France and the United Kingdom – and saw the rise of two nations that would spend the next 45 years competing for domina-tion during the Cold War.

The two victorious nations, the United States and the Soviet Union, would draw different conclusions from this war and what preceded it that affects their nations’ thinking to this day, according to Stratfor’s George Friedman’s May 12 article called, “World War II and the Origins of American Unease.”

Both nations experienced shocks that drew them into war. For the Soviet Union it was the fall of France in just a few weeks in 1940. The Soviets had wanted to form a set of alliances with Britain and France against Germany as the Russian czar had done before World War I, but neither France nor Britain was interested in an alliance.

This forced Stalin, the Soviet leader, to make a pact with Hitler, which helped to expand the Soviet Union’s western border without much effort. Poland was divided in half by the Germans and Russians. This non-aggression pact provided an even deeper buffer for the Soviets against an attack from the West.

Stalin’s thinking was that Germany would repeat its World War I plan by attacking France and Britain, wasting its soldiers and resources, thus giving the Russians time to prepare to

attack Germany at a time of their choosing. It didn’t turn out that way.

The collapse of the French army, which, according to Friedman, was superior to the Germans in many ways, came as a shock to Stalin. He never conceived that an army, which fought the Germans to a standstill from

1914 to 1918, would fall so quickly. Instead of the Soviet Union attacking

Germany, it was Germany choosing the time and place to attack them. The Soviet Union, still recovering from one of Stalin’s purges, was unprepared for the German onslaught. They were pushed back along a thousand mile front by the German invasion in 1941.

The lesson the Soviet Union came away with from the war, according to Friedman, was that military might, not coalition building, must be the chief strategy. After World War II, Eastern Europe was occupied and its nations were treat-ed as satellites rather than allies. The countries that joined the Warsaw Pact, while undepend-able, provided strategic depth from another western invasion. The rapid fall of France had deeply shaken the Soviets.

The United States had suffered two shocks, the Great Depression of the 1930s and then the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. America as a nation has always been optimistic, but these two events rattled us and changed our strategic equation. Not only had we miscalculated the coming of the Great Depression, but we also had greatly underestimated the competence of the Japanese military, and thus paid an enormous price at Pearl Harbor.

According to Friedman: “The Great Depression and Pearl Harbor cre-

ated a different sensibility that suspected that prosperity and security were an illusion, with disaster lurking behind them. There was a fear that everything could suddenly go wrong, horribly so, and that people who simply accepted peace and prosperity at face value were naïve. The two shocks created a dark sense of foreboding that undergirds American society to this day.”

The British and French Munich doctrine of appeasement in response to German aggres-sion was the cause of the war. From this the United States concluded that we must respond more quickly in the future to aggression. Non-involvement meant a slip into a third world war. That’s why the U.S. intervened over and over again in places like Berlin, Korea, Cuba, and Vietnam. No president, either Republican or Democrat, could bear to be labeled an “appeaser”. Eternal vigilance became the new American watchword.

That’s also why our response after 9/11 was so swift and aggressive. The United States has been in a state of permanent mobilization, according to Friedman, since Pearl Harbor. But even that preparedness did not save us from Al-Qaeda. As a result, the government has spent billions of dollars on intelligence gathering.

This hypervigilance only increases with each terrorist attack both inside and outside our coun-try. This fear that disaster is lurking just around the corner has divided this nation and made us edgy. Russia, too, is influenced by the lessons it has drawn from World War II, and is acting accord-ingly in Ukraine. Both nations are living with this legacy of uncertainty brought about by events that occurred over 70 years ago this year.

SUNSHINE AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

Advocates for sunshine have gotten a boost from science. Recent studies show that exposure to sunlight can help lower blood pressure. The research followed 24 healthy people who were exposed for a half an hour to ultraviolet A radiation that was as intense as the sun at noon time. The volunteers were then exposed to the same intensity of light and heat minus the UVA radiation; the results were then compared. The UVA triggered nitric oxide to release from the skin, which then caused the arteries to dilate. Researchers believe that this may be what lowers blood pressure. It may also explain why people with mild high blood pressure find that their numbers improve during the summer months. However, while sunshine is good for people with mild hypertension, people with higher blood pressure need to seek additional treatment.

Changing your lifestyle can help control your high blood pressure. Your healthcare provider may recommend you eat a healthy diet with less salt, exercise regularly, quit smoking and maintain a healthy weight. Your provider may also recommend medication to lower your blood pressure. 

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.

A 37-year-old Enumclaw man, Ryan Rothermel, was arrested May 14 and charged with three counts of third-degree rape of a child by the King County Prosecutor’s Office.

Bail was set at $150,000 during a King County Supe-rior Court hearing May 15.

Rothermel is scheduled for an arraignment at 9 a.m. June 1 at the Kent Regional Justice Center.

After an extensive inves-tigation spanning several months, Enumclaw police officers and detectives served a search warrant on Ro-thermel’s residence May 14. Rothermel was arrested and booked for having sexual relations with a 14-year-old girl who was living in the

residence where Rothermel lived with his girlfriend. The girlfriend owns the residence and rented a space to the mother of the victim.

The Washington State Patrol crime lab came to the scene and spent the day collecting evidence from 16 areas in the residence.

According to a probable cause document issued by the King County Prosecu-tor’s Office, the police first received a tip from a man who overheard Rothermel telling people he was having sex with a minor female. The man told police “Rothermel was almost gloating….”

Police began an investiga-tion, which led to the arrest.

When Rothermel was first interviewed by detectives he said his relationship with the girl was that of a “father like figure.”

After Rothermel was in custody he told the detectives

he did not know how old the girl was when she first moved into the residence in April 2014. He stated he learned she was 14 a few months later. Court documents show he admitted to having relations with the girl.

The probable cause docu-ment noted Rothermel has a history of sexual deviance including attempted voyeur-ism with sexual motivation. His criminal convictions include fourth-degree assault, second-degree criminal tres-pass, resisting arrest and two counts of domestic violence/court order violation.

Third-degree rape of a child is a class C felony. The Revised Code of Washington sentence for a class C felony is confinement in a state correctional institution for five years, or by a fine in an amount fixed by the court of $10,000, or by both confine-ment and fine.

caused you as you went on the ride with me, watching from the sidelines, unable to do anything but cheer me on. I’m sorry for not up-dating you quicker if I left you stranded at the top of the mountain. I’m sorry for the tears and wailing and overall drama that only our 20s can bring. I’m sorry.

To my daughters - Hang on, we’re going for a ride!

Grand Prix schedule, which caters to runners 50 years and older, and for the hard core runners, the event is the second stop of the South King Challenge (a series of five running events in South King County).

As a further incentive, the Tahoma elementary schools have thrown down a challenge to see which Tahoma elementary school can generate the most par-ticipation.

“This challenge fits into Tahoma’s fitness programs quite nicely, and we hope to see as many kids as possible participating this year,” said Jeff Brady, Tahoma Junior High’s athletic coordinator.

Participants who register by May 30 are guaranteed a T-shirt. Top finishers will be eligible for awards including the coveted teddy bears for age group winners (a Bear Run tradition), and all participants will be eligible for raffle prizes. Thrive Community Fitness in Maple Valley is offering a free training program to members and non-members alike. All ages are welcome. The funds gener-ated by this event support scholarships as well as the Tahoma cross country and track programs.

Marianne Binetti will be making an appearance on May 23, Saturday, at 9 a.m. in Sumner at the Windmill Gardens “Incredible Edibles” event. Free register at www.windmillgarden.com or phone 253-863-5843.

The third week of May is when you may be tempted to plant everything into your vegetable garden, and it is true that tomatoes, squash, beans and basil will survive if planted into the ground in mid May. But hold on. In past years in Western Washington we still can be hit with cool night temperatures that dip below 50 degrees and these chilly nights will not mean death to the warmth loving

veggies but it could stunt their growth. Experienced gardeners wait until the first or even the sec-ond week of June before leaving basil outdoors overnight and unless you have a raised bed or a hot spot against a west or south facing wall your tomatoes will do better if you delay planting until June.

Planting the seeds of corn, beans and squash this week is also a gamble. The seeds may sprout but a cool night could send the new seedlings into a dreary funk with little growth. If

you wait until the second week of June the seeds will sprout sooner in the warm soil and without the worry of cool nights the new sprouts will quickly catch up with any

seeds that were planted in May.

This means you have extra time to prepare the soil by removing the weeds, adding compost or other organic matter and work-ing fertilizer into the soil where you will be planting vegetables.

Coleus is another plant that hates cool nights. If you plant coleus outdoors grow

it in post so you can move the plants close to the house at night until mid June.

Q. I want to start growing my own

vegetables but deer are a problem in our neighbor-hood. What do you recom-mend to keep deer away from my vegetable garden? K. Email

A. A fence is the best defense for deer.

They are browsers and will taste anything but using deer repellent sprays on your food crops is not recommended. You do not need to spend a lot of money fencing off a deer free zone. Farm and home center stores now sells black plastic webbing on a roll

made to create an almost invisible deer fence. You just supply the sturdy fenc-ing posts using metal rebar or stakes that will rise 7 feet from the ground and attach the flexible fencing material with plastic ties or stables. You will need to construct a gate or leave a flap that can be opened up and closed in the fence line. As an added bonus the webbed plastic disappears from a distant view and if secured to the ground with pegs will keep

out raccoons, cats and dogs.

Q. If you were to recommend some

vegetables for a child’s first edible garden, what would you suggest? I will be help-ing with the garden but am not that experienced at growing food myself. G.G., Buckley

A. Welcome to incred-ible edibles and my

first suggestion is to plant what you both like to eat.

Radishes are quick to sprout and a harvest can be had in as little as 30 days, but most kids don’t appreci-ate the sharp bite of a fresh radish. You may want to grow with bush beans and cherry tomatoes instead. Don’t forget you can plant nasturtium seeds now for summer long color and the leaves, blossoms and seed pods are all edible and fun to add to summer salads or as a pickle substitute inside a hamburger. Some young gardeners prefer fruit to vegetables and strawberries, raspberries and blueber-ries are all crops that do especially well in the cool summer climate of Western Washington.

Q. I am tired of green tomatoes at the

end of the summer. What varieties that tastes better than “Early Girl” will ripen up and turn red before the end of September? I already grow my tomato plants in the sunniest spot of the garden. S.M., Renton

A. Look for orange or yellow tomatoes

with small fruit if you want to have plenty of flavors from ripe tomatoes. Yellow pear tomatoes, Husky Gold, Gold Nugget and any of the small fruited cherry tomatoes such as Sweet 100 or Sweet One Million will have a sweeter flavor than the early ripening Early Girl or Early Cascade variet-ies. You may also want to make this the summer you

use a hoop house of clear plastic or spun polyester over your tomato plants to capture the heat and protect them from cool nights. If you only want a few plants, grow your tomatoes in heat-absorbing black plastic pots that sit against a West or South facing wall. Grow-ing them near a mass of concrete from a driveway or patio will also help to raise the night temperature and encourage early ripening of the fruit.
