Th e Covington City Council con-sidered two ordinances for manda-tory solid waste collection and both failed to pass.

Th e council considered option one, which proposed mandatory solid waste collection.

Option two was an ordinance for mandatory solid waste and yard waste collection.

Jeff Wagner, mayor pro tem, recused himself from the discussion and vote because he works for Republic Services, the company providing solid waste and recycle pickup for Covington. Wagner’s re-cusal left six voting members on the council. Both measures tied at 3-3, failing to gain a majority to pass.

Each ordinance would have gone into eff ect July 1, 2016 with crimi-nal enforcement codes for illegal dumping.

According to the background information provided by the staff , Auburn, Kent and Renton have passed mandatory solid waste col-lection ordinances. Th e staff report noted aft er Kent adopted a manda-tory ordinance there was a decrease in “code enforcement cases regard-ing garbage, including dumping in areas around the city such as storm ponds and green belts.”

During the council discussion of option two for both solid waste and yard waste, Councilman Mark Lanza said, “Th is summer we (his family) went three months without the need for yard waste. I very rarely have yard waste. I have a hard time justifying mandatory yard waste.”

Councilman Joseph Cimaomo said he is against the mandatory yard waste provision. He said his family of three would have fi lled a yard waste container about one time over the summer.

“We shouldn’t be asking people to pay for a service they will never use,” Cimaomo said.

Councilman Sean Smith said by not passing the solid waste and

Th e Tahoma School Board will have a public hearing during its regular meeting Oct. 13 to discuss the potential for build-ing a new Lake Wilderness Elementary.

Last week, the board heard a report from district staff regarding the possibility of build-ing the new school, as opposed to the original plan of remodeling the current aging building.

Kevin Patterson, spokesperson for the district, told Th e Reporter last week the district has saved about $24 million on the new high school project because the crews haven’t run into any of the anticipated and budgeted-for issues. With the $18 mil-lion already ear-marked for the

remodel, the district said they think they can aff ord to build a new school.

Patterson said the school board discussed whether to use that savings to reduce the remainder of bonds that need

to be sold and return some money to taxpayers by not incurring that debt, but ultimately “both the board and bond over-

sight committee agreed the money should be used

to build a new Lake Wilderness Elementary school,” he said via email.

Patterson also said expand-ing projects, like building a new school instead of remodeling the old one, can be done with the money from the bond, but only aft er a public hearing.

Th e resolution for the 2013 measure stated, “…if available

funds are suffi cient from the proceeds of Bonds authorized for the above purposes and/or state and local circumstances require, the District may use such funds to acquire, construct, equip,

modernize and make other capi-tal improvements to the facilities of the District, all as the Board of Directors may determine, aft er holding a public hearing thereon pursuant to RCW 28A.530.020.”

According to the Purple Light Nights’ website, Th rom and Lindsley “saw the need to provide awareness education to the community and business leaders promoting healthy relationships while giving support to victims of do-mestic violence.”

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and in the fall of 2006, Th rom presented the idea of the Purple Light Nights campaign to the task force.

According to their website, aft er months of de-velopment, marketing and

processing the campaign, the Purple Light Nights was up and running in October 2007.

Th at same year, in 2007, Th rom received the Take Action Award given out by the King County Coalition Against Domestic Violence for her work on the, then, new campaign.

According to the Na-tional Resource Center on Domestic Violence’s website, Domestic Violence Awareness Month evolved from the ‘Day of Unity’ that was held in October of 1981 by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.

Th at Day of Unity soon turned into a week of activities devoted to mourning those who died because of domes-tic violence, celebrating those who survived and connecting those to work toward ending domestic violence across the nation.

It was in October 1987, that the fi rst awareness month was observed.

Th e Day of Unity is still celebrated on the fi rst Monday of October, this year that falls on Oct. 5.

Th e Covington Domes-tic Violence Task Force serves the cities of Cov-ington, Maple Valley and Black Diamond.

Monthly meetings fall on the second Th ursday from noon to 1 p.m. at the Covington City Hall.

[ LIGHT from page 1]yard waste ordinance the city may be, “delaying what we will have to do in the future…. We as a county and country are starting to face limits. Inevitably we are going to have to get used to recycling. It’s hard but that is the nature of it. If we don’t do it now, it is going to be more expen-sive down the road. I know it is tough, but I don’t see a way around this.”

Councilwoman Marlla Mhoon said residents in the older neighborhoods in Covington are the ones getting, “stuff dumped over the fence.” She also said yard waste is more than grass clippings, but is get-ting food and compostable material out of the land fi lls. “Anything that goes

into a garbage disposal should be in compost,” she said.

Mhoon said yard waste and composting may become a King County mandate in the future.

Scott said people likely don’t understand yet they will not be able to throw food directly in the yard waste bin, but that it will need to go into a special bag, which can create problems if not handled properly.

Mayor Margaret Harto said it is important to carefully consider the defi nition of yard waste and compostable material, which includes yard recy-clables and food scraps.

Harto said there will be a necessary period of edu-cation for the community

concerning solid waste, yard waste and composta-ble material.

“I think our community can do this,” Harto said. “We know we are going to have to deal with this down the road…. (It is) in the best interest of our city and our county and our total environment. We should take this and do this.”

Voting for option one were Cimaomo, Scott and Lanza and against were Harto, Mhoon and Smith. Voting for option two were Harto, Mhoon and Smith and against Cimaomo, Scott and Lanza.

For either option one or two to be reconsidered a council member voting in opposition must bring a motion forward.

Oft en when I think about my role in my family, I think of one of Bill Wat-terson’s Calvin and Hobbes cartoons: Calvin is standing in a fi eld at night looking at the sky full of stars and yells, “I’M SIGNIFI-CANT!” He stands there a moment gazing up then says in a smaller voice, “Screams the dust speck.”

I know there is sound coming out of my mouth because the members of my family stare at me when I talk. However, that sound apparently does not translate into sensible words because they rarely do what I ask or advise. All I can think is they either don’t understand what I’m saying or they don’t take me seriously.

Th is phenomenon be-came very clear to when my oldest was around three-years old. She just wouldn’t listen. I chalked it up to her age. What toddler listens? Th en I put her in preschool.

“Mom, the teacher says we should pick our toys up aft er we play with them.”

“Mom, the teacher says we shouldn’t hit other kids.”

“Mom, the teacher says I can’t crawl around at school and bark.”

Mind you, at this age, teacher wisdom only ap-plied to school and was not necessarily practiced at home.

Her kindergarten teacher set a bad precedent when my daughter wouldn’t write out her numbers from 1 to 100. She bribed her with cookies. “Mom, the teacher

gave me cookies when she wanted me to do something I didn’t want to do.”

Her fi rst grade teacher couldn’t get her to do her timed math tests. Not being

one to bribe, she solicited my help during a parent/teacher confer-ence. “You need to tell her to do them.” I told the teacher my directive carried no weight, “I’ll tell her to do

them, but I can’t make her because I’m not sitting in class with her.”

When my youngest, entered school, she had a whole new slew of issues I’d overlooked.

“Mom, did you know I should capitalize every sentence?”

“Mom, did you know you can sound out letters to fi gure out the words?”

I had come to a place of acceptance over all this, even going so far as to ask a teacher to tell my kids something I really need them to hear. By high school, I just gave up. I still said a lot, gave advice, and explained how they should be doing something, but my expectations of them hear-ing me were lowered. If one fraction sunk in, I’d be sat-isfi ed. Th ey were good girls; it seemed like my payoff for trying to be heard.

Now, my youngest daughter’s best friend

moved in to fi nish her senior year. Being far more independent than my daughters have thought of being, she brought a whole new body of philosophies on living life.

Did you know that if they start to bed a half hour before they should actually be in bed, they’d get a whole eight or nine hours of sleep? Did you know that if you go to bed the same time you normally do on a late start day that you actually get 10-11 hours of sleep instead of just eight? Did you know that if you went to bed at a decent hour on a weekend, you’d get up before 1 p.m.? Did you know that you can take raw food and make it into edible food when mom’s not around?

Now why didn’t I think of that? Although, it seems like I’ve heard those ideas somewhere before. Oh yeah, it was from ME. I AM MOTHER, HEAR ME ROAR!

Or should I say, i am mother, hear me roar?

From southwest Oregon to southeast Alaska and the Pacifi c Ocean to the Cascade Range, the Pacifi c coast old-growth forest is a unique ecosystem dominated by Douglas fi rs, western hemlocks and sitka spruce ranging in age up to 750 years old.

Dozens of varieties of conifers thrive in the Pacifi c Northwest, many endemic. Its old-growth forest is unique because of the size and age of its trees and the climate. The area is home to some of the few remaining temperate rainforests in the world – along with Chile, it is a global center of forest-based industry.

Although some have been transplanted here, 14 conifer species grow wild only in California and lower Oregon, including the redwood – the world’s tallest tree; the giant sequoia – the world’s most massive tree; and the Great Basin bristlecone pine – the world’s longest-living tree. A redwood typically reaches 300 feet in height and 16 feet in diameter, oftentimes larger. Renowned for long life, the oldest recorded age of a redwood is 2,200 years.

COLORECTAL CANCERColorectal cancer is the collective name given to a

couple of different cancers: colon cancer and rectal cancer. Colon cancer is cancer that strikes the large intestine, or colon. Rectal cancer is the name given to cancer of the last few inches of the colon. Most of the time, these cancers begin as clumps of cells that are small and non-cancerous. These clumps are called adenomatous polyps. These polyps could be very small, and they might not cause any symptoms at all. For this reason, regular screening for polyps and for colon cancer is vital. Report any changes in bowel habits, blood in stool, abdominal pain, and a feeling that the bowel doesn’t completely empty. Catching polyps before they become cancerous can prevent colon cancer.

A colonoscopy is the best screening test available for colorectal cancer. It is the only screening test that prevents many colorectal cancers. On the day of the procedure, you will receive medication to help you relax. Most people fall asleep and do not remember much about the test when they wake up.

Americans are having a debate over what makes someone a good leader, according to George Friedman in a recent Stratfor article enti-tled, “Th e Crisis of the Well-Craft ed Candidate”.

Th e current debate over whether business ex-perience matters much in politics was reinforced in A Christian Science Monitor article by Pieter Grier called, “Does Carly Fiorina’s Business Experience at HP Matter?” Th e current pool of presidential candidates demonstrates there is change in voter attitudes about what makes a good president.

On the right we see the rise of “Th e Donald” Trump. He’s outrageous with his statements, but polls show many voters are looking for honesty rather than politi-cal craft smanship. Trump has come out with nonconservative views favoring single-payer health care – meaning big government. He also supports ending tax breaks for hedge fund man-agers. He’s demonstrating that personality and character “trump” policy positions.

Th e search for authenticity explains why Hillary Clinton has dropped in the polls while Sen. Bernie Sanders, the openly socialistic candidate, is rising. Clinton once did a poll to determine which vacation spot would make her family more popular with voters. Sanders comes across as more sincere, more bipartisan and less calculating.

Sanders, leading in the polls in Iowa and Vermont, his home state, had the audacity to go into enemy territory by speaking to conservative evangelicals at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va. He knew his left -leaning views on abortion, women’s rights and gay marriage were not popu-lar, but he thought that the common concerns of wealth inequality and decline of the middle

class might unite liberal and conservatives; the future of the nation is at stake. His search for common ground was both bold and refreshing and is appealing to voters in this time of political gridlock.

Authenticity was the word Friedman used in his article to describe the shift in American attitudes. Th is is because many Americans have come to the realization that policy positions are not something presidents can actually carry out in regard to increasing jobs and improving the economy. Neither can they bring about change because most of the power to do so lies in Con-gress, not the presidency. Congress controls the purse strings.

Grier, in his article on Fiorina, discusses whether business experience infl uences voters. While Fiorina and Trump both tout their busi-ness acumen, these skills do not matter much in government where the bureaucracy may not

obey orders from their president as they do in the business world and congressional leaders may not cooperate and cannot easily be fi red.

One of our greatest presidents, Harry Tru-man, was a fl op as a businessman, while Herbert Hoover, a business success story as an engineer, failed to motivate the nation during the Great Depression. Jimmy Carter, a peanut-processing businessman is found low in the esteem of the country as president. George W. Bush, with a master’s of business administration, was not aided in his presidency by his degree.

My own experience in government has shown that being successful in business does not make for success in the political sphere. Government plays by diff erent rules and has diff ering goals.

Dr. Ben Carson, a retired brain surgeon, has risen due to his clear Christian values and hon-esty, while it is patently obvious that he has

Th e decision of state Sen. Andy Hill to not take on Gov. Jay Inslee in 2016 forced the Demo-cratic Party attack machine to brake hard and return to the shop.

Its operators had invested much time into manufactur-ing salvos to launch at the Redmond Republican who they presumed would be the Democratic governor’s opponent next fall. In recent months, these Democratic operatives even test-fi red a few in Hill’s direction.

Now they need to restock and reload for what appears to be a battle with a man they’ve mostly ignored - Bill Bryant, a mild-mannered and widely unknown member of the GOP main-stream who is an elected Seattle port commis-sioner.

As elated as the Democratic muscle is with not having to tackle Hill, it’s hard not to imagine they (and maybe Inslee too) are suff ering a bit of a letdown as well.

Th ey expected the governor would face as tough an election in 2016 as he did in 2012. Yet one-by-one, those with the seeming potential to mount such a challenge have chosen not to do so.

Rob McKenna, who lost to Inslee in 2012, signaled he wasn’t seeking a rematch. State Sens. Bruce Dammeier of Puyallup and Steve Litzow of Mercer Island have also said no.

Congressman Dave Reichert is still talking himself up for the race but seems unlikely to talk himself into it.

If Bryant winds up the Democratic Party’s chief target it means he’s also the Republican Party’s torchbearer.

Th at’s going to take some getting used to for GOP leaders. Unseating Inslee is a top prior-ity but they, much like Democrats, had kind of counted on having a better known personality taking on the governor.

Republican leaders must decide how much the state party will invest in a Bryant bid. Th ere’s a risk that anything perceived to be less than all-in will be deemed a concession they don’t believe Bryant can win.

In 2012, the party contributed $2 million directly to the McKenna campaign and another $500,000 of in-kind contributions, according to campaign fi nance reports fi led with the Public Disclosure Commission.

Nearly all of that arrived in the general election so there’s plenty of time to watch how Bryant’s campaign evolves and political events unfold.

Meanwhile, those guiding the Republican Governors Association are hashing through the same kinds of questions.

In 2012, the RGA made its presence felt in Washington when it shelled out roughly $9 mil-lion in ads and mailers against Inslee. RGA of-fi cials have yet to signal a willingness to expend that much again.

Th ey too want to see if Bryant’s campaign can raise money and build an organization capable of taking on – and taking down – an incumbent governor in a state that hasn’t elected a Republi-can governor in 35 years.

Bryant on Monday picked up the endorsement of Dan Evans, a former three-term Republican governor. Backing from another venerable Re-publican is due to be announced next week.

Bryant’s aides say the campaign is exactly where it is supposed to be at this stage.

Still this is not how leaders of the Grand Old Party envisioned the campaign would be playing out.

Neither did the Democrats.

Starting in 2016, the Kent School District will be adding a King County Sheriff ’s Office school resource officer to serve its unincorporated schools during the school year.

Primary services will be provided to Kentlake High School, Grass Lake Elementary School and Sawyer Woods Elementary School.

For the three months that school is out of session, the deputy will provide patrol service in the unincorporated sheriff ’s office precinct area.

This shared service, with the school district paying for nine months and King County picking up the tab for the three months that school is out of ses-sion, is an arrangement that has oper-ated successfully in other King County school districts for many years.

“As a parent, I know firsthand the

anxiety and heartache we feel when faced with the countless tragedies that have occurred in our nation’s schools,” said Councilman Reagan Dunn. “The safety of our children, schools, and communities is a top priority. I’m proud to have worked to make this possible.”

School resource officers are deputies located on school properties, assigned to specific schools or school sites.

The services include patrol services for district grounds, providing special-ized resources for students and staff, and other duties. Resource officers provide education and training for school staff, students, and parents. The resource officers are encouraged to de-velop rapport with students and staff, treating the school as a community and using community oriented polic-ing techniques to ensure school safety.

Fall has officially begun.One of the things that hap-

pens when the weather turns colder is that home heating systems come on for the first time since last winter. Are you ready for that?

Here are some tips that will help protect your family as we transition into the fall and winter seasons.• Have your furnace system

inspected and serviced by a licensed professional. This including looking at the ex-haust vent that leads to the outside of the house. Insects, birds, and other animals can create blockages that can force carbon monoxide from gas furnaces back into the home.

• Have chimney and wood stove flues inspected for creosote buildup which can limit the escape of smoke

and can cause a chimney fire.

• Dispose of fireplace ashes properly by placing them in a tightly sealed metal container. Do not store the container near combustibles such as a deck, house, or fence. Hot coals in ashes can retain their heat for several days after being removed and should never be stored in a paper or plastic bag.

• Move combustibles such as clothing, bedding and drapes away from baseboard and other electric heaters.

• Plug portable heaters directly into wall outlets. Us-ing extension cords can lead to overheating and fires.Also remember to having

working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in your home. Change the batteries when you change your clocks to standard time on the first Sunday of November.

For those facing a cancer diagnosis, treatment and prognosis is a chief prior-ity. Financial concerns come up, too — and not just about treatment costs. Everyday expenses may take on new importance, or strain a family’s budget.

“Th ey wonder, ‘How am I going to pay for gas to get to radiation every week?’” said Donna Banks, RN, Breast Health Program coordinator at MultiCare Good Samaritan Hospital.

Come Walk With Me, a breast cancer walk tak-ing place Saturday, Oct. 3, raises money to help with these kinds of expenses

for breast cancer patients. Registration for the walk ended Sept. 30. You don’t need to attend the event to donate, and donations are accepted through the end of October.

Gas cards and Safeway grocery cards are just one of the items covered by funds raised for the event.

Wigs for women in can-cer treatment, provided at the Dr. Richard C. Osten-son Cancer Center at Good Samaritan, are another item made possible by funds raised at Come Walk With Me.

Wigs make a huge diff er-ence, according to Tamara Miller, BSHS, LE, Good Samaritan’s Cancer Re-source Center Coordinator. Miller has helped hundreds of women in treatment for cancer choose wigs and learn how to care for them.

“For some women, losing their hair can be just as hard as the cancer diagno-sis itself,” Miller says. “It makes them feel like less of a woman.”

But aft er an hour-long appointment with Miller, patients oft en feel like themselves again.

“It’s quite the transforma-

tion,” Miller said. “Th ey feel they can go out in public with confi dence.”

Donna, a Tacoma-area cancer patient, went to the center for a wig fi tting recently. She said Miller was patient and understanding, and the whole process gave her peace of mind.

“I thought, this is the best hour I’ve had since I’ve been diagnosed,” says Donna, who was diagnosed in August.

Other items funded by Come Walk With Me include:

Her Peace of Mind, a program that provides free and reduced-cost screening and diagnostic mammo-grams to women needing fi nancial assistance

Post-mastectomy cami-soles

Resource kits for newly diagnosed patients

Education and support in the form of presentations, support groups and exercise classes

EY State elections division sending out

218,000 postcards to potential votersWashington election

offi cials sent out postcards last week to about 218,000 state residents who appear eligible to vote, but haven’t registered.

Th e mailing has a simple message that online regis-tration is easy: “3 minutes. Click. Done.”

Th e postcard notes that the recipients aren’t on the voter rolls and that they are invited to register online or by mail by Oct. 5 in order to take part in the general election. First-time Washington voters may also register in person at their county elections offi ce by Oct. 26.

Ballots and voters’ pamphlets will be mailed in mid-October. Wash-ington currently has 3.94 million registered voters. Th at number is expected to break the 4 million mark early in 2016. Registra-tions and voter participa-tion always spike in the presidential/gubernatorial

election year.Washington residents are

eligible to vote if they are at least 18, a U.S. citizen and not under custody of the Department of Corrections for a Washington felony.

“We hope these postcards will provide just the nudge for people to go online and get registered,” said Secre-tary of State Kim Wyman, the state’s chief elections offi cer.

Th e mailing list was gen-erated by information from the Electronic Registra-tion Information Center, a non-profi t organization of member states that helps improve the accuracy of voter registration lists and provides information on unregistered potential vot-ers that states can contact.

At a minimum, the data include information from the Department of Licens-ing and voter records, including name, address, date of birth and last four digits of the Social Security

number. Private data, such as date of birth and last four digits of Social Security, are anonymous before being transmitted to the informa-tion center. Cross-match with other member states also is done.

Th e information center is able to identify voters who have moved within their state or out of state, those who have died, those who have duplicate registra-tions, and those who are potentially eligible to vote but are not yet registered. Th e elections division also regularly checks for voters who are behind bars for a state felony.

Wyman and state Elec-tions Director Lori Augino said the information center information is extremely helpful in having a balanced program of voter outreach and keeping the rolls clean.

“We want every eligible person, including our new 18 year olds, to get regis-tered and then to vote,” said

Wyman. “We truly believe that `Your vote is your voice.’

“People will want to take part in the 2015 elections, which emphasize the importance of local races and issues, and the 2016 presidential-year elections should be really exciting. We don’t want any eligible person left out.”

Th e postcard mailings are now in their fourth year. Th e cost is 23 cents per postcard, including printing and postage. Th is is the largest number mailed out since the initial mailing of 1 million in 2012. Only new contacts are including in the latest mailing.

Most of the postcards are in English. King County also provides about 79,000 in Chinese and Vietnam-ese. Adams, Franklin and Yakima provide over 11,000 bilingual English and Span-ish.

The Greater Maple Valley Unincorporated Council is host-ing its 18th annual Operating Model Train Show from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Oct. 17 and 18 at the Gracie Hansen Community Center in Ravensdale.

Trains will be displayed on creative operating layouts in most gauges. Attendees can bring their own trains (Lionel/HO/other) to run on the tracks, too.

The Black Diamond Museum will display historical sites and stories from the local area.

The suggested donation at the door is $5 per adult and $2 per child.

Kids can participate in the LEGO contest by bringing a pre-built entry to the event.

There will be two age catego-ries, 11 and under and 12-18. One prize will be awarded in each category and entries will be judged on Saturday afternoon.

Street of Heroes: County Council recognizes road designation

It is the fi nal resting place of many men and women who served our country, and the Metropoli-tan King County Council has ad-opted an ordinance offi cially designat-ing the county arterial serving the Tahoma National Cemetery as King County’s “Street of He-roes.”

“Our military veterans should be treated like the

heroes that they are,” said Coun-cilman Reagan Dunn, prime sponsor of the legislation. “I hope this small token of appreciation helps express the profound gratitude we have for the

sacrifi ces made by these men to protect our great

country.”Th e roadway, South-

east 240th Street between 172nd Avenue Southeast and 180th Avenue South-east is near the Tahoma National Cemetery. It received the honorary designation in 2002 at re-quest of the North Pacifi c Chapter of the Destroyer Escort Sailors Association, a group of naval veterans who served in World War II, Korea and Vietnam.

Th e adopted ordinance offi cially recognizes the designation.

• What should I do to protect foods if the power goes out?

Try to keep the doors closed on your refrigerators and freezers as much as possible. This keeps the cold air inside. A full freezer can stay at freezing temperatures about two days, a half-full freezer about one day.

If you think the power will be out for several days, try to find some ice to pack inside your refrigerator. Remember to keep your raw foods separate from your ready-to-eat foods.

• What foods should I be concerned about?Foods are categorized into groups. They may be: 1.

potentially hazardous, 2. non-hazardous, but quality, not safety, could be affected from changes in tempera-

ture, or safe.Potentially hazardous foods are the most important.

These include meats, fish, poultry, dairy products, eggs and egg products, soft cheeses, cooked beans, cooked rice, cooked potatoes, cooked pasta, potato/pasta/macaroni salads, custards and puddings.

Some foods may not be hazardous but the quality may be affected by increases in temperature. These foods include salad dressings, mayonnaise, butter, margarine, produce and hard cheeses.

Some foods are safe. These are carbonated beverages, unopened bottled juices, ketchup, mustard, relishes, jams, peanut butter and barbecue sauce.

• When do I save and when do I throw out food?Refrigerated foods should be safe as long as the power is

out no more than a few hours and the refrigerator/freezer doors have been kept closed. Potentially hazardous foods should be discarded if they warm up above 41 F.

Frozen foods that remain frozen are not a risk. If poten-tially hazardous foods are thawed, but are still cold or have

King County is offering two upcoming opportunities for the public to learn about the Cedar Hills Regional Landfill in Maple Valley.

On Wednesday, Oct. 14, the King County Solid Waste Division hosts its regular community meeting, which is open to all who are interested in discussing conditions and activities at the landfill.

The meeting is set for 7-9 p.m. at the King County Library Service Center, 960 Newport Way NW, Issaquah, and will include a presen-tation by representatives from Bio Energy Washington, the company that owns and operates the landfill gas-to-energy plant at Cedar Hills.

The Solid Waste Division is of-fering a guided, 90-minute tour of the 920-acre landfill at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 17. Tour participants

will get a firsthand look at how this modern landfill facility manages the estimated 800,000 tons of solid waste it receives each year, while at the same time creating resources from waste.

The last operating landfill in King County, Cedar Hills encompasses 920 acres and takes in all of the solid waste generated in King County, excluding the cities of Seattle and Milton.

Sheriff warns about jury scam

Editor’s note: the following is a press release from the King County Sheriff ’s Office:

There have been reports of a large amount of fraudulent calls allegedly coming from the King County Sheriff’s Office.

The calls state there is a warrant out for your arrest for not showing up for jury duty or mention nonpay-ment of back taxes.

The Sheriff’s Of-fice does not solicit for funds over the phone under any circumstances.

Criminals are not able to use false or “spoofed” numbers to make it appear that the call is coming from the Sheriff’s Office phone number or from the courts.

If someone contacts you and tells you there is a warrant out for your arrest because you missed jury duty or that you owe back taxes, this is a scam. Discontinue the call immediately.

The caller then tells you to pay hundreds of dollars to avoid being arrested.

They use high pressure tactics to get you panicked and are very professional sounding.

If they get you to agree to pay the money, they will tell

you to purchase a cash card. Once you purchase the

card they will have you call them back with the special pin number on the back of the card.

Then within seconds the funds will be transferred to their account.

They will then tell you to go down to the King County Courthouse and sign up for jury duty and that King

County will reimburse you with a cashier’s check for the amount you paid them.

The King County Sheriff’s Office or the

courts will never call you for money on a warrant or tell you in advance they are coming to arrest you.

If you are a victim of this scam, you may file a complaint with the Federal Communications Commis-sion at http://www.fcc.gov/complaints.

If you received a false call and actually sent funds and wish to file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commis-sion you can do so at http://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/Information.

For more information on this topic visit the U.S. Courts at http://www.uscourts.gov/FederalCourts/JuryService/JurorScams.aspx.

Get thee to a nursery this week because as fall settles in the prices on trees and shrubs go down. Fall closeout sales are a good investment especially for larger trees and shrubs. Fall is best for plant-ing trees and shrubs because the soil is still warm from the summer – encouraging new root growth – but the autumn rains mean you can let nature take over your watering chores.

This is also a good week for buying spring-blooming bulbs. Tulips, daffo-dils, crocus and other spring bloomers are planted in the fall but will sprout and bloom in the spring. Buy bulbs as soon as you see them for sale for the best selection. If you can pick them from an open bin

reach for the largest bulbs you can find. Bigger bulbs bear more blooms.

Q. I am going to buy more tulip bulbs this

fall but I have been disap-pointed in the past as very few of the 50 bulbs I planted

actually bloomed. Why?

A. Tulips need to be a mature size to flower so make sure you invest in

full-size bulbs that are firm with no signs of rot. Tulip bulbs at least 12 centimeters in diameter are considered superior. Tulips also need soil that drains quickly so pick a raised bed or area with sandy soil. Mice and voles will eat tulip bulbs and deer will nip off the buds before they bloom. Try planting tulips in a large container to keep

them safe from rodents. You can even plant groups of tulips in recycled plastic nursery pots that can be set into the ground when in bloom and then easily removed when the tulips fade.

Q. Are there any spring bulbs that deer will not eat? What about bulbs that will survive in dry shade? My idea is to plant a host of yellow daffodils under a maple tree that I can see across our field. I have seen deer in this area, however. L.P., Yelm.

A. I like your idea. Daffodils are natu-rally rodent and deer resistant and

they will thrive even in the dry shade of a tree. The miniature or dwarf daffodils are the earliest to bloom and easiest to plant as you need only dig down a few inches before popping in a dwarf daffodil and covering it up with soil and fallen leaves. Look for the varieties Tete a Tete, February Gold, and a sweet smelling mini daffodil called Minnow. Dwarf daffodils also have the advantage or returning year after year and spreading into larger colonies.

Q. I want recommendations for an evergreen shrub that can handle

dry shade. I need to screen off a compost pile and other unattractive sites in my landscape. Please don’t recommend rhodo-dendrons. I tried a row of large leaf rhodies and then watched them slowly die because I never remembered to water. W. R., email.

A. At least you ‘fessed up about never remembering to water your

rhododendrons. No tree or shrub will do well if the soil is allowed to dry out before a new root system has had time to spread out and find moisture. This can take one to two years. Rhododendrons suffered tremen-dous stress from the high temperatures

this summer and fall is the time when the rhododendron is setting flower buds for next year. Everyone with rhododendrons should remember to water them in late summer. Give up on growing rhodies in your dry area. Instead of adding a shrub you may want to consider a screening fence instead. This will take up less room than a hedge and you won’t have to remember to water. If you do want a living green hedge, add compost to the soil before you add the new plants, mulch the top of the soil with two to three inches of bark chips and then next summer lay a soaker hose at the base of the hedge so it will easier to keep the new planting watered. A few evergreens that can adapt to dry shade include yews, viburnums, laurel, nandina and aucuba.

Jockey Gallyn Mitchell is closing in on his last ride after 33 years in the thoroughbred racing saddle.

The 53-year-old Mitchell, who lives in Enumclaw, closed the Emerald Downs’ meet Sunday with the record for stakes victories, 80, wins at Emerald with 1,419 and $14,922,232 in earnings. He had rid-den all 20 season at Emerald Downs.

Over this three decade career,

all-time leading rider at Emerald Downs has notched 2,742 wins and nearly $22 million in earnings.

Mitchell enjoyed a long riding career partly because he was not injured during most his racing years. In the last few years Mitchell did sustain an injury to his thumb when a horse stepped on him. At the opening of the 2013 season he suffered a heart attack.

He did return to Emerald Downs on closing day 2013 to ride Chasing Pete, and won. The victory contin-

ued his streak as the only Emerald Downs’ jockey to win a race in every season at the track.

Along with his horse racing career, Mitchell also worked as a stunt rider in films, including “Seabiscuit,” “Little Big Man” and “Planet of the Apes.”

On closing day Sunday, Emerald Downs honored his career with The Gallyn Mitchell Purse.

Mitchell may ride a few more races at other tracks as 2015 comes to a close.

not read the Constitution in regard to his statement that a Muslim should not become president, a clear ignorance of, “No religious

test shall ever be required as a requirement to any public office….” However, his ignorance of foreign affairs does not seem to be a potential hindrance to him,

since a president can hire experts in fields where he/she is weak.

It seems from these examples that Americans are looking for more than

carefully-crafted politicians. Many Americans seem to be uncaring about positions as evidenced by Trump and Sanders. What they’re look-ing for seems to be deeper.

They are looking for authenticity and honesty, and the ability to handle crises that may rock the na-tion – disasters unplanned for and unexpected. They’re

searching for the qualities of leadership.

This seems to be the mood of Americans at this point in the 2016 presiden-tial election cycle.

ice crystals on them, you should use them as soon as possible. If potentially hazardous foods are thawed and are warmer than 41 F, you should discard them.

• How do I know if the food is unsafe to eat?

You cannot rely on ap-pearance or odor. Never taste food to determine its safety.

Some foods may look and smell fine, however, if they have been warm too long, they may contain food poisoning bacteria in

quantities that could make you sick.

If possible use a ther-mometer to check the temperature of the foods. If potentially hazardous foods are found to be less than 41 F, then they should be considered safe.

When in doubt throw it out.

• What happens when the power goes back on?

Allow time for refrig-erators to reach the proper temperature of less than 41¼ F before restocking. Restock with fresh foods as necessary.

Support for Mary Jane Glaser

As an employee of the Tahoma School District for over 40 years, I have experi-enced many school board elections without taking a public position on an individual candidate. In retirement, however, I find myself in a different position and have made the decision to publicly support one of the candidates for Position 3 on the

Tahoma School District Board of Directors, Mary Jane Glaser.

I respect anyone who chooses to run for these important positions and have had the good fortune to work directly with multiple school board members. In my experience, Mary Jane has been and continues to be an exemplary school board member. I believe the following characteristics contribute to her success and influence on our quality school system.

Commitment – Mary Jane cares about young people and gives the time and energy necessary to understand the issues. All board members give of their time, but in my experience none have contributed as much time as Mary Jane. She does this through her school board participation at meetings and on district committees as well as through her contributions in multiple community organizations. She reads the school board packets, asks clarifying ques-tions, and is always prepared to contribute her thinking at meetings.

Knowledge and Experience – Mary Jane understands the role of the board in establishing policy, direction, and monitor-ing progress. She has been a voice for our school system at the local, state, and federal level serving on multiple state level com-mittees working on issues and advocating for public education with members of the state legislature. She has working knowl-

Mary Jane Glaser, experienced, committed

I again want to endorse Mary Jane Glaser as she continues to demonstrate a sincere willingness to step up and serve the Tahoma School District as a member of the board.

There are multiple stakeholders within the district – parents, teachers, businesses, public and private associations, churches, voters at large and most important of all, students. Mary Jane has listened to them all, served them all and has the experience required to continue building the increas-ingly good reputation of the school district and the greater community as a wonderful place to live and be.

I encourage the support of a citizen of the community without reservation.Gary HabenichtRavensdale

edge of state financing for public schools, school district budgeting, school construction, and the impact of state and national curriculum and assess-ment reforms on our system.

Team – Mary Jane un-derstands the importance of working as a team and has the knowledge and skill to contrib-ute in a leadership position and as a team member. She contrib-utes her thinking while being open to being influenced by the

thinking of others and supports decisions that are made by the team.

Mary Jane brings passion and commitment to meeting the re-sponsibilities of a school board member. She is an advocate for involvement of students and parents in important system de-cisions and is a critical member of our “Future Ready” team. She has my vote to continue as a member of the team provid-ing leadership in our school system.Mike MaryanskiMaple Valley

LETTERS FROM PAGE 15 Glaser wants the best for students

I fully support Mary Jane Glaser for Tahoma School District Board of Directors, Position No. 3. I have seen her in action on many occa-sions and everything she does to benefit Tahoma is from the heart. Mary Jane does not have any per-sonal agendas and she is not seek-ing re-election for the title. Mary Jane genuinely wants what is best for our children, school district and community and has the knowledge and experience to keep Tahoma headed in the right direction.

In less than two years Tahoma will go through a major overhaul. Thousands of students will be repositioned across the district. Staff will be redistributed through-out our schools. Two new grade schools will be added and a new high school will open. In addition to all of that, a new curriculum and education standards will be implemented and kindergarten will move from half-day to full-day schedules across the district. Mary Jane has been instrumental in all of these improvements from the ground floor. With over 18 years of experience on the school board, she

understands the requirements of the system and what is necessary to keep Tahoma successful.

This is a critical time for our school district. When you vote on Nov. 3 please vote for Mary Jane. She has the experience, drive and proven dedication to keep Tahoma on the path for continued success.Katrina MontgomeryMaple Valley
