changed his lifestyle and now hopes to per-suade others to change theirs so they don’t have to go through the same thing he did.

“I was that guy you’re not supposed to be,” he said.

Lobe, 56, said he was overweight, divorced and eating “out of a box” every night, a smoker and got no exercise. Both of his grandfathers also died of heart attacks. Plus, he was in the “high risk, high reward” field of sales.

He was on a sales call in Kent when he started to feel pressure in his chest. At first, he thought it was just heartburn from the Thai food he had at lunch, but soon it felt like a basketball was trying to push its way out of his chest.

When the uncontrollable sweating start-ed, Lobe knew he was in trouble.

Lobe remembers telling the client not to forget about him, he would be back, and then he remembers brief moments from the ride to the hospital, but not much.

At one point, an EMT yelled at him to think about something really, really important to him as a way to hang on.

Lobe thought of his sons, Tyler, 23, Matt, 21 and Jacob, 19. And he remembers seeing his boys in tears at the hospital.

“My sons were always my first priority,” he said. “It’s no fun being wheeled out of a room having your sons cry because they think you’re dead.”

In the 69 minutes from when he began having the attack to when the doctors were able to re-open his artery, Lobe’s heart stopped three times. But he remembers the instant the doctors succeeded because the pain stopped instantly.

From that point on, Lobe began living life differently.

“A lot of things became less important,” he said.

He began eating better, exercising and quit smoking. When he was healthy enough to go back to work, he returned to a sales meeting he said was so intense you could cut the tension in the room with a knife.

But that too needed to change.“I thought ‘I don’t want to live this way

anymore,’” he said.He was 53 years old and asked himself

what he was doing with his life and what he should do next with the second chance he felt was given to him. The answer was simple and clear.

“I needed to get involved and make a dif-ference,” he said.

Soon after he recovered, Lobe got involved with the American Heart Association’s Heart Walk and the folks at the organiza-tion began asking him to volunteer more, do some public speaking to tell people his story and finally to help them lobby the legislature in Olympia.

Lobe first got involved with the Emergency Cardiac Care bill two years ago. The law allows hospitals to share data on cardiac issues with the state Department of Health to create a database of the best hospitals to take people having heart or stroke issues. It is designed to make sure that people having a heart attack are taken to places that have cardiac centers.

Lobe believes the only reason he is alive

today is because of the hospital to which he was taken.

“If I wouldn’t have gone to Valley Med … I probably wouldn’t have lived,” he said.

“He’s what we want to happen to any patient,” said Lucy Culp, senior govern-mental relations director for the American Heart Association of Washington.

Culp said the Heart Association mem-bers were amazed by his story and recog-nized Lobe’s ability to discuss his heart attack and the factors that led to it in such a way that it really seems to connect with people.

“As he says, he was a walking heart attack,” Culp said. “He’s really seen it.

“People just seem to get it from him,” she said, calling him a normal guy with a

compelling story.Since working on the initial bill, Lobe

has continued to work with the Heart Association on legislative matters, even going as far as Washington D.C. to talk about funding for the National Institute of Health.

Then, about six weeks ago, Lobe received an email from his contact at the Heart Association, congratulating him for being selected to speak at the White House about cardiac issues.

“I didn’t even know I was nominated,” he said. “I’m still in awe.”

Culp nominated Lobe to go to the White House after a call from the national office asking for people from each region to dis-cuss heart health.

“I immediately said Vance would be the perfect person,” Culp said.

Lobe was one of about 60 nominated from the 10-state western region and one of 10 to be selected to make the trip.

Though he did not get to meet the presi-dent or first lady, Lobe and others selected from around the country met with the White House Office of Public Engagement, deputy secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, members of the Domestic Policy Council, the National Economic Council and the National Institute of Health.

Lobe said they talked about the little steps being taken and the work the administra-tion is trying to do to persuade Americans to get healthier.

In the afternoon breakout sessions, Lobe went to a discussion on tobacco policy, which he said was more of a conversa-tion, though he was the only one in the

room who had smoked or who had a heart attack.

Most of the rest of the group were doc-tors who thanked him for sharing his story with them, as did officials who said Lobe and others who spoke helped put a face to the problem.

“We’re not just numbers,” he said. “We’re real people actually being affected by this on a daily basis.”

Plus, he got a tour of the White House, which included the actual George Washington painting saved by Dolly Madison when the White House was burned by the British during the War of 1812, something he said was a thrill for a history buff like himself.

After the visit to D.C. Lobe is hoping to someday make a career out of working with the heart association so he can continue to tell his story in hopes of persuading oth-ers to turn around their habits. Because of that, he has learned to view his own heart attack in a positive light.

“It was almost a blessing,” he said. “It finally woke me up and slapped me in the face as to what was important and how to live my life.”

Today, Lobe eats better, exercises more and said he has more energy than he’s had since he was a teenager. His doctors have given him a clean bill of health. He hopes his story will resonate with others who were like him.

“I’m just a guy that didn’t do things right and I paid the price for it,” he said.

Column by Rep. Cathy Dahlquist31st Legislative District

It’s your government: Let me know your thoughts

It is wonderful to represent the people of the 31st Legislative District. At the beginning of this session I asked our caucus to spend time as a team to identify our priorities of government. Until you have a clear understanding of what your priorities are, it is dif� cult to draft a budget. The House Republican Caucus did just that. We spent many days working together to identify what our govern-ment should provide by setting our priorities. We landed on three key focuses: Education is our � rst and foremost priority, followed by taking care of our most vulnerable populations (meaning those that cannot take care of themselves) and public safety to ensure community protections. I appreciate hearing your thoughts and opinions, so today I am asking for your feedback on what you would choose as your top three govern-ment spending priorities. Government works for you. I hope you � nd this brief column informative and I look forward to hearing from you.

Update on special session After a 17-day special session in December and a full 60-day regular session that began Jan. 9, the Legislature could not agree on a state oper-ating budget that would close the $1 billion spending gap. As I write this column, we are in the second week of the special session, which began on March 12, with no visible progress or clear (and agreeable) path to a sustainable budget in sight. However, I remain hopeful that ongoing talks among budget leaders will allow for some needed compromise. Many of you have called or e-mailed me with questions about how the budget will impact a service or program. You will have to stay tuned to my next column or attend a town hall meeting after special session to get those clear answers since a budget has still not been passed. My goal is to always be helpful and available to you. I want to en-courage you to take this opportunity and share your thoughts with me on a couple questions:What would be your top three priorities if you were writing the state budget?

A. Taxes and feesB. Creating jobs through government programsC. K-12 educationD. Social/Entitlement programsE. Developmentally disabled/elderly/poor children F. Health care

G. TransportationH. Higher educationI. EnvironmentJ. Public safetyK. Early learningL. Other

Do you believe that the size and purpose of state government should continue to expand? A. Yes B. No C. I believe state government has been reduced

As we go through the budget, knowing and understanding your priori-ties will help me ensure I am serving you to the best of my abilities. When I have more information on the budget, I will be inviting you to a town hall meeting to share the details.

inches, the other officers reacted quickly and law-fully to protect their fellow officer and themselves,” Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist said in a press release. “This inci-dent again demonstrates the dangers officers face as they serve the public.”

The incident began just before 3 p.m. when Crahay was seen driving on state Route 410 with expired tabs. When a sheriff ’s deputy attempted to stop the car, Crahay pulled into a park-ing lot but then took off at a high rate of speed when the deputy approached her car.

A pursuit ensued, result-ing in the deputy using a “pursuit intervention tech-nique” to pin Crahay’s car against a guardrail. The deputy, with a second dep-uty and Torgeson on hand as back-up, surrounded the vehicle. Crahay then fired two shots from a handgun at the deputy through the passenger window of her car.

One bullet went through the windshield of Deputy Kelly Carolus’s car and into the baseball cap he was wearing, leaving a hole in the cap, though he was uninjured.

Marrs and Torgerson returned fire, hitting Crahay in the head and torso.

When the officers approached the car, a pit bull lunged out of the rear window, which had been broken by gunfire. The dog was also shot and killed.

Crahay was transported to the hospital where she was pronounced dead.

Lindquist on Thursday released a statement announcing the completion of the investigation into the incident, which concluded Crahay’s death was justifi-able homicide on the part of the police officers involved.

Torgerson is a 10-year veteran of the Bonney Lake Police Department.

Bonney Lake Police Chief Dana Powers said she was pleased to hear from the prosecutor, though the decision was expected given

the facts of the case.“We anticipated the rul-

ing would come out that way after the investigation was completed,” she said.

Powers said an internal review in Bonney Lake would follow the pros-ecutor’s announcement to allow the department to search for “lessons learned” following this and any offi-cer-involved shooting.

“What can we do better in a situation like that?” she asked.

Powers said the incident highlights the danger-ous nature of police work where even a traffic stop can become dangerous at a moment’s notice and offi-cers are forced to respond, sometimes with the highest level of force.

“Nobody wants to be in an officer-involved shoot-ing,” Powers said. “It’s forced upon you by the actions of others.”

By Brian BeckleyStaff Writer

In Iowa, apparently, if you build it, they will come. But in Bonney Lake, the question is turning to how to get them to build in the first place.

With construction down in the city – and across the county – the Bonney Lake City Council is consider-ing ways to try and spur construction, but were still split on whether or not the city should lower its con-struction impact fees as an incentive.

Bonney Lake’s impact fees are easily the highest in East Pierce County, but building in the city con-tinues to outpace all other municipalities, though at a much lower rate than the pre-recession hey day that many came to expect as normal.

But several council mem-bers feel the city’s impact fees are what is keeping the hammers from swinging and the homes from going up, prompting a discussion about the cost of building that began at the council’s annual retreat in February.

The combined traffic, sewer, water, and school impact fees to build a home in Bonney Lake is present-ly approximately $28,000. Buckley comes in second at about $20,000, followed by Puyallup at about $16,000.

The council this past week agreed to move three measures forward, but once again split over temporary decreases on sewer and water system development charges, asking for more information to continue the discussion at a later work-shop.

Much of the talk centered on how to make up for the loss of revenue such a change would represent.

“Those fees are paying for things,” Deputy Mayor Dan Swatman said, calling the reductions “totally irrespon-sible.” “Where are we going to get that money back?”

“That’s the key. You’ve got to pay it sooner or later,” agreed Councilman Donn Lewis.

Led by new council mem-bers Katrina Minton-Davis and Tom Watson, those in support of reducing the fees said it would spur building, which would bring new resi-

dents to shop in the city’s retail establishments.

“I think it’s more impor-tant to stimulate some growth,” Minton-Davis said.

The council discussed and then moved forward to the next council meet-ing ordinances to extend a temporary traffic impact rebate program, a reduction of school impact fees based on a request from Sumner schools and a tempo-rary reduction in traffic fees, that also raises the threshold of development activity on a change-of-use that would trigger a new fee.

But the council continued to be split on the water and sewer fee ordinances, which would have reduced the fees by 50 percent and 40 percent, respectively.

Bonney Lake bases its impact fees on an analysis by an outside firm and set their rates as close to a break-even point for the city as possible. The system development

charges pay for future expansion of the sys-tem, which is neces-sary due to growth.

It is part of the city’s philosophy of

making development pay for development. Swatman and other mem-

bers of the council feared that reducing charges - which were developed by an inde-pendent contractor to be the amount of impact - would mean having to raise sewer or water rates.

Swatman used Sumner as an example. Though the system development fee for hooking into Sumner’s sewer

system is approximate-ly $3,500 less than that in Bonney Lake, ratepayers pay an additional $5 per month for service.

Base rates for water are also higher in Sumner.

“If it isn’t the development, it’s going to have to be the ratepayers,” Councilman Mark Hamilton agreed, adding that the reductions discussed were “pretty dras-tic” and he would like to see the projects that may have to be postponed due to the changes.

Hamilton also said he was not sure any changes were necessary given that Bonney Lake still issues more build-ing permits, by far, than any of its peers in East Pierce County.

“I still feel uncomfort-able in reducing any of the

fees because I’m not sure it’s going to make a difference,” he said.

Swatman agreed.“There’s still building in

the city of Bonney Lake,” he said. “Somehow they’re making it work.”

If the reductions passed as proposed, it would have meant a loss of nearly $12,000 in revenue per house, an amount Swatman pointed out would take $1.6 million in retail sales to make up in the city’s gen-eral fund through sales tax revenues.

The council agreed to continue discussions of the impact fees after requesting from staff a list of proj-ects that would need to be reduced due to a drop in revenue.

Council open to fee reduction, but worries about money

I spent Sunday watching a Book TV show I recorded on my DVR.

I liked the show because I could listen to it while I made some brown and green food even God wouldn’t eat. Thanks to my friendly doctor, that is what my life has devolved into – Sundays spent making food with-out names or other identifiable features.

The Book TV show peaked the fun meter, however.Jeffrey Rosen, George Washington University law

professor and an editor with The New Republic, was talking about the clash of the pri-vacy, search and seizure and other C o n s t i t u t i o n a l issues in the cur-rent world of

Google, Facebook and other social media. The program will be broadcast again Saturday on

C-SPAN. I think it is worth listening to and consider-ing.

Will our Constitution address the Internet world of social media? Does the power of Google and the company’s decisions on what hits the top of search sites trouble us? The collection of information by Facebook and other sites brings up a myriad of privacy prob-lems and the questions once again point back to our Constitution.

Rosen posed an intriguing problem. The Constitution protects us from government search and seizure and invasions of our privacy, but when it comes to social media and Internet sites things get cloudy.

So a potential employer can demand to see an applicant’s personal Facebook page, which opens up a privacy can of worms. If some company wanted to look into my life through Facebook for a job, I can see how the interview would go.

Recently one of my Chamber members came into my office and shared with me some of the struggles she was having getting her business off the ground.

Startup costs for the business were much higher than she anticipated and business was not as brisk as she had hoped would be. Scraping every dollar together, she was able to pay her employees, but not herself. Compounding her frustration was the fact that she hadn’t had a day off since December.

While many business in Bonney Lake have the advantage of drive-by traffic from the 410 corridor, it

doesn’t always mean that customers will come through their doors. As I make my rounds around town and talk with businesses, I have found that it’s a real mixed bag. Some are doing well and enjoying increased sales, while others are struggling to get by month-to-month.

As we know, nearly 50 percent of new businesses don’t survive past the first year. Why is this? Well, the answer is different for every busi-ness, but a common theme I hear from businesses in Bonney Lake is that startup costs were higher than anticipated, the length of time from conception to open was longer than anticipated and sales were not as good as expected.

• Startup costs: When building a business plan, businesses do their best to predict what their initial expenses will be. They even build in

Budding aquarium enthusiasts crop up every day. They’re anx-ious to head to the pet store and pick out a tank, accessories and the fish they hope will thrive in a new environment.

While it’s important to know which fish can cohabitate and the proper pH and temperature to keep the tank, one important lesson all people who have an aquarium should know is how to keep algae in check.

Algae is a naturally occurring plant life that creates a green film on the inside of tank walls and

on plants and decorations inside the aquarium. Just like any other plant, algae requires a few things to thrive, including light, water and food.

Although a certain amount of algae in the water can be a ben-eficial food source for some spe-cies of fish, an overabundance can be unsightly and take over the aquarium.

There are a few reasons why algae can grow unchecked:

• Algae needs light to survive. Leaving a fluorescent aquarium light on too long or placing the

tank in the path of direct sun-light can cause algae to bloom;

• Introducing new live plants to a tank, which already may have algae spores hitching a ride on them, can introduce more algae to the tank;

• Overfeeding fish can provide extra food sources for algae, as can failing to frequently clean the filter; and

• Water with a high level of nutrients will provide a lot of food for algae.

Say no to algae growth

Welcome back to Buckley Veterinary Hospital’s monthly pet care column. This month, we are highlighting the significance of protecting and screening your furry fam-ily member for internal parasites. We will be shedding some light on the importance of regular fecal screens and preventative parasite control for your pets. The information in this piece is provided to you in part by IDEXX Laboratories, one of the United States’ largest pet diagnostic companies.

Human intestinal parasites in the U.S. have been virtually eradicated by improvements in sewage management, availability of clean drinking water, control of zoonotic parasites in food animals and the routine anthelmintic treatment of the human population. Dogs and cats have not yet been so fortunate.

Dr. Byron L. Blagburn of Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine, has conducted surveys showing the level of infection among shelter dogs is similar to what it was 10 years

ago, when the national average was more than 10 percent infected with hookworms, round-worms or whipworms.

An ongoing national survey has also found more than 25 percent of cats have roundworms and more than 10 percent have hookworms. Even when pets are well taken care of and live in nice neighborhoods, there may be other ani-mals (strays, foxes and coyotes, for example)

unanticipated expenses into their plan. However, they just don’t plan for enough and are caught off guard when faced with additional fees or compliance require-ments.

• Length of time from conception to open: For whatever reason, whether it is construction delays or permit approval delays, businesses are hurt when they

can’t open their doors on time and accrue additional costs.

• Sales: One thing I often see when a new business opens is that due to the above two reasons, they have to make up the money from somewhere. Where do they pull it from? Marketing. Marketing is a key factor when opening a new busi-ness and if marketing budgets are slashed before the doors are even open, it puts them at an immediate disadvantage and in the arrears before even opening their doors.

Any relief a business can get on initial startup costs and fees is something the Bonney Lake Chamber of Commerce will support. Lowering the cost of doing busi-ness in Bonney Lake will have a great impact on the success of a new business and can put them on a more even playing field, not to mention the fact that we will not continue to lose new businesses to other cities where the cost of doing busi-ness is less expensive.

We also support the reduction of resi-dential traffic impact fees and sewer

development fees. We believe that resi-dential growth will bring growth to the businesses, with increased foot traffic and higher sales.

We applaud the council for consider-ing such actions and thank them for their support of the businesses that support our community.

Happy to see Hornet rivalry back

The cross-river rivals White River and Enumclaw have been an awesome rivalry for decades. I have lived in Buckley all my 50 years and as far back as I can remember this game was one to look for-ward to. There are many gen-erations of Hornets, White River and Enumclaw, that know and love this rivalry.

As a fan, former player and parent of players of White

River Hornets football I was very disappointed when it was announced by the recent-ly resigned Enumclaw coach that they weren’t interested in playing White River. I was very happy to hear Athletic Director Chris Gibson and his counterpart in Enumclaw appreciate the history of this rivaly and have made the effort to bring it back.

Thank you to all that have renewed this decades-old tra-dition.

The halls of Lake Tapps Elementary School were filled with the sounds of laughter and learning into the early afternoon hours this past week, though school had ended hours before.

Seven-year-old Charlie Jones, for example, was still at school after he could have left. Why? To play a little chess with some of his friends. He’s pretty good, by his own esti-mate, and continuing to improve since picking it up.

“It can get you in a good mood and sometimes it makes you smarter,” he said, taking a brief break from a game.

Jones is part of Lake Tapp’s Elementary’s Chess Club, one of five after-school programs Principal Connie Geroy said are designed as “enrichment programs” for students.

“We want the learning to continue after school,” she said.

Along with chess, Lake Tapps offers a technology club, a physical fitness club called “Ready, Set, Go!” and two science clubs.

“Science has always been so popular here,” Geroy said.In one of the science classrooms, students were using

two-liter bottles, water and balloons to learn about the changes in air pressure.

The clubs meet for four times per session, with four ses-sions scheduled through the year. Geroy said this lets the students explore all of the clubs if they are interested, or to

Using clubs to explore beyond the classroom

pick one and stick with it if they like it.The clubs provide learning opportunities the school day

just doesn’t have room for.In the technology club, for example, the students meet

in the school’s computer lab to work on projects using PowerPoint, Excel and other computer programs. The stu-dents are working on projects that involve the programs, hopefully making the learning fun.

Along with the five clubs, Geroy said Lake Tapps

Elementary, located at the north end of the lake in the Dieringer School District, also has several clubs and activi-ties led by community members that are offered to the students after school in the district’s three schools.

Geroy said there are karate, drama, Spanish and dance clubs that meet on campus in the district.

“We want to make sure we get as much learning oppor-tunities as they can,” Geroy said.

The February dissolution of White River High School’s White River Alternative Program has left Sumner School District scrambling to build its own program in time for the 2012-2013 school year.

Erin LaVerdiere, the district’s executive director for

teaching and learning, told the school board much was unknown at this time, including how many students will make the pilgrimage back to their home district.

“We suspect most of our seniors and juniors will stay at White River,” she said. “If not, we’ll have a hard time deal-ing with the influx.”

An alternative program meeting for students and fami-lies is planned for May 29 at Bonney Lake High School.

The Sumner High baseball team’s past week was a busy one. Following a season open of mercurial rain and ice storms, the team was forced to reschedule its non-league games from March 19 to 23.

Following a disappointing 9-7 loss to crosstown rival Bonney Lake Monday, the Spartans had a three-day line-up of games: nonleague match-ups against Wilson and Decatur Wednesday and

Thursday, leading seamlessly into the team’s first South Puget Sound League match of the season against the Eatonville Cruisers.

In those latter three matches, the valley boys did not disappoint.

The Spartans defeated Wilson 7-1, Decatur 9-5, and Eatonville 9-3.

The early victory over the Cruisers gave the Spartans a strong season open.

The boys played at Franklin Pierce

Sumner High School’s fastpitch team hit the ground dominating this weekend, warming up with a close non-league vic-tory over Olympic High Saturday, and ending Sunday with a neat win over the Eatonville Cruisers.

Final score against Olympic was 10-9.

The final score against Eatonville was 8-4, giving the Spartans an early 1-0 in the South Puget Sound League 2A record book.

The game against

Eatonville was slow-going: Neither team could catch a break until Sumner scored two runs in the third inning. Then both teams remained runless through inning six.

Sumner scored six in inning six, then Eatonville scored two each in six and seven.

Pitcher Allie Sims broke some hearts with 11 strike outs. She additionally had four walks.

“(The) hitting styles of junior Nicolle Peterson,

senior Megan Anderson, and sophomores Brittany Biller and Amanda Haines rounded out the Spartans to give them the victory over Eatonville,” coach Kristin Crawley wrote in a post-game round up.

The team took on the Franklin-Pierce Cardinals Tuesday, too late to be included here. Look for a game rundown on blscou-rierherald.com.

Well, the inaugural Roundball at the Rock charity basketball event for the Rotary First Harvest, held at Bonney Lake High School Saturday is officially in the archives. I must say with the help of about 100 people including, fans, coaches, players, volunteers and finan-cial supporters the program went off without a hitch and was an unequivocal success.

Considering the picturesque sunny afternoon on which the game was contested, what with make-up baseball and softball games being played and yard work to get started on, when all was said and done the event raised about $200 and will consequently mean 6,000 pounds of fresh fruit and vegetables being trucked into to area food banks for the underserved on the Plateau and the valley below.

The main event, which was an encounter between The Couriers (blue shirts) and The Heralds (green shirts) and was highly entertaining using as a yardstick the old sports axiom that offense sells tickets and defense wins games.

Fans who were fortunate enough to be spectators of this game for a good cause, saw a whale of a hoop fest as a total of 200 hundred points were tallied in this sensational shoot-out, that admittedly didn’t exactly include a preponderance of defense, but did see The “Dark Horse” Heralds prevail 113-87.

When the confrontation first got underway it looked as if The Couriers would dominate. Due to circum-stances beyond The Heralds coaches Rick Tripp and Rob Thayer control, the green team was outnumbered 2-to-1.

However, even though the fiercer members of The Heralds, Derek “The Mad Bomber” Lund, Tony “The

Tiger” Chynoweth, Drake “Tall Boy” Radenmacher and Perry “The Optimist” Rockwood weren’t allowed to play under their old and new head coach Kellen Hall (who was gracious enough to help coach

The Couriers) due to a bizarre WIAA rule, the green team’s shooting percentage from the floor was tremen-dous.

That factor alone was enough to keep the blue squad at arm’s length until reinforcements could arrive in the form of 6 foot, 7 inch Bonney Lake senior post, Mike Gould, who came into his own this season behind the learned guidance of Panther head coach Rob Smith, to help the black and teal advance to the postseason in 2012.

At any rate, after Gould showed up on the scene it was Katie-bar-the-door, as the inside presence of having two 6 foot, 7 inch stilts in the low post in Radenmacher and Gould, simply proved to be an over-whelming upper hand and the talented young ladies playing for The Heralds - Naomi Pounds (Bonney Lake High) and Fallon Hall (Enumclaw High) took care of the rest as they played miserly defense and brought the pumpkin down the parquet for the most part distribut-ing to the twin towers.

While the coaching tandem of the Buckley Boys’ Rick Tripp and the Spartan Steamroller Rob “Too Tall” Thayer proved to be a winning combination as their crew managed to reach the century mark and beyond, one has to give Hall & Thomas “The Train” Ostrander

‘roundball at the rock’ a rousing inaugural success

their due as well. I remind-ed both of those guys not to just leave Ostrander’s brothers-in-law the DeVries twins and the skilled Zebulon Glissmeyer (also of McDaniel lineage) in there the whole time.

Thank goodness Hall & Ostrander threw everything on the floor but the kitchen sink in order to entertain an appreciative crowd, or the throng of round ball followers would have never got to see Sumner back-court ace Tayler Holtman, who displayed some pretty impressive moves coming off the pines.

Also making his pres-ence felt was Panther senior boy Mikey Berger who had the blue shirts cheering section going bonkers with his antics. Berger arrived late with Gould, but had been delegated to the other team as had Enumclaw girl guard Callie Remitz, who was filling in for an injured Danielle Saltarelli. Saltarelli thankfully consented to sell concessions which this old reporter appreciated more than she will ever know.

It was heartwarming to me, personally, to see the basketball community come together in such a helpful way for such a good cause.

High Tuesday after press time and Fife travels to Spartan diamond today, Wednesday. Results will be made available online.

The Spartans will play their next game at home against Washington High Friday.

Sumner’s girls tennis team served up beat downs last week, defeating Steilacoom and White River high schools and bringing their season record to 3-0.

The team won over White River Monday, March 19, by 3-2.

“This was one of the closest matches I have ever been a part of,” coach Chris Heacox said. “We were losing 2-1 after Autumn (Jacobsen) won and first singles and third doubles lost. First and second doubles were both losing the third set 4-5, so one more game for either White River team and we would have lost the team match. Luckily both our doubles teams won some big points to come back and win the third set 7-5.”

Steilacoom presented a wider victory margin at 4-1.

Miriam Tuma won first singles with 6-1, 6-0 in her matches.

Jacobsen lost second singles by a hair at 6-1, 3-6, 4-6.

First doubles were taken by Kyla Anderson and Jasmin Babcock, 7-6, 6-0.

Second doubles were won by Kaitlin Drenne and Sarah Layton, 6-3,6-3.

Jessica Silone and Samantha Walsh won third doubles 6-1, 7-5.

The team played at Clover Park Friday, but results came too late to include. Check blscourierherald.com for current scores.

The Bonney Lake High School girls tennis team dodged raindrops last week to get in two matches to open their 2012 campaign.

The week got off to a bad start for the Panthers, dropping a match to Enumclaw 2-3 Tuesday.

Both singles players picked up the wins for Bonney Lake with Alise McCoy cruising to a 6-0, 6-3 win and Olivia Ottinger breezing to a 6-0, 6-1 victory.

But the Hornets proved too strong in doubles and easily overcame a Panther team that was missing two varsity players.

Molly Miculnich and Kelsey Kober dropped their contest 2-6, 1-6 to a team coach Billy Jacobsen called “probably the best doubles team in the league.”

Second double steam of Nate de Leon and Sam Goff played a close on, but also fell 3-6, 4-6, while the third doubles team of Sam Garrity and Britany Lie lost 4-6, 0-6 in what was their first-ever high school match.

The Panthers rebounded Thursday, how-ever, with a 5-0 win.

McCoy and Ottinger both picked up quick wins both besting their challengers 6-0, 6-1.

Miculnich and Kober picked up their first win of the season, winning 6-2, 6-2 while Garrity and Goff - playing together for the first time - won 6-0, 6-2. The third doubles team of Lindsey Holdener and Lie, also play-ing together for the first time, won 6-1, 6-3.

The Panthers were scheduled to play at Auburn Mountainview Monday and home against Peninsula Tuesday before Emerald Ridge comes to Bonney Lake Friday.

Once the dust settled Wednesday night Tim Tebow wound up in New York with Rex Ryan and the Jets. Not many would have guessed that before the last few days when reports came out about the Jets being interested in acquiring Tebow.

Also I don’t think many people expect him to come in and have a shot at the starting job because the Jets just signed Mark Sanchez to a three year exten-sion with $20.5 mil-lion guaranteed for 2012 and 2013. That would be a lot to pay

a back up quarterback and it also makes him hard to trade, but with Tebowmania coming to the media spot-light in New York. Any mistakes Sanchez makes will be followed by an intense clamoring for Tebow.

Rex Ryan and the Jets statistically had a much better defense last year than the Denver Broncos. New York was ranked fifth while Denver was 20th, which is a good thing for Tebow because if he does ever see the field on a consistent basis he will need a good defense to back him up.

Rex Ryan also loves to run the ball and should bring his team back to the ground and pound style that got them to back to back AFC Championship games before last season.

Tebow led the best rushing attack in the NFL last year, which can be argued had a lot to do with the mis-direction Tebow brings to the offense and is the first thing I feel the Jets will try to use to their advantage. Also most likely the reason they acquired him.

Tebow likely will get around five to ten snaps a game running the spread option/wildcat starting out.

This is a good recipe for success as long everything stays on track. The Jets needto control the ball better and avoid turnovers both of which are things Tebow can help with. Also the Jets did invest a lot of money in

MIRROR MIRRORTHEHUNGER GAMES

Mark Sanchez only about two weeks ago, maybe they want Tebow to put a little pressure on him, forcing him to work harder and get on the fast track to becom-ing the quarterback they’ve

always wanted. Tebow can definitely bring all of that to the Jets organization right away.

The problem will arise if Tebow starts making electri-fying plays out of the spread option/wildcat and Sanchez

continues to throw some of the bonehead intercep-tions that have plagued him throughout his brief career. If that happens the recipe for success will crumble quickly. Certain fans, analysts and even people within the orga-

nization will push for Tebow and point out that he did beat Sanchez and the Jets while he was with Denver so he should be the starter. I don’t know if that is what the Jets really want to bring upon themselves.

Understanding why algae forms will help you control it effectively. To start, get in the habit of cleaning the tank frequently. Once a week may be acceptable, depending on size. Scrape the walls of the aquarium and remove the artificial plants and other accessories and routinely wash in clean water. Change the filter cartridge when it has become overly soiled.

Perform water changes. Change 10 to 15 per-cent of the water in the aquarium every week, which will remove toxins and algae spores. When you change the water, use a suction tube to “vac-uum” out debris lodged in the gravel.

Limiting the food sources for algae can also keep it in check. Feed a scant amount of food to fish, only enough that they can eat in five min-utes or so. If there is extra food floating around, remove it. The food contains phosphates and other nutrients that can be a delicious meal for algae. Keeping live plants in the tank is another way to limit nutrients. Live plants will use many of the nutrients that algae thrive on.

Routinely test the levels in the water and know what the proper levels should be. In addition, know what your water levels are right out of the tap. Test for phosphates and nitrates. Use phosphate removers or another water source, if necessary.

Make sure to include algae-eating fish in the aquarium. Those like the Plecostomus (Pleco) will scour the tank for algae.

Position the tank out of direct sunlight, which will fuel algae growth. Also, go sparingly on the use of an aquarium light in the tank.

Algae often grow in warm temperatures, as is common with tropical aquariums. Keep the temperature of the water at the minimum level allowed for the breed of fish, and be sure the tank is not by a radiator or additional heat source.

Keeping aquarium fish can be an enjoyable hobby and a nice focal point for a room. To ensure the health of the tank, be sure to manage the amount of algae in the aquarium.

infected with parasites def-ecating in their yards and parks.

Normal behaviors, like eating directly off the ground, drinking out of puddles, grooming, play-ing fetch and pouncing and biting items on the ground, predispose dogs and cats to parasitic infections all year long. Dogs and cats also acquire infections from infected prey (e.g., rabbits or mice) or f leas that serve as intermediate or paratenic hosts for dif-ferent parasites.

Year-round internal parasite prevention prod-ucts do not guarantee a pet will not have intestinal parasites. Recurring devel-opmental stages of para-sites, such as hookworms, periodically repopulate the intestine, grow to adult-hood and shed eggs in feces. Eggs and cysts produced

by parasites may not be susceptible to prevention or treatment by the prod-ucts being administered. Lastly, owner compliance in administering preventa-tives may be lacking.

In addition to having health implications for your furry family member, some of the parasite stages shed in dog and cat feces are zoonotic, so removing them to prevent environ-mental contamina-tion, thereby pro-tecting you and your family, is important.

Larva of hookworms cause nasty skin lesions. Larval stages of ascarids can migrate through the liver, lungs and eyes, causing organ damage and blind-ness respectively. With an estimated 3 million to 6 million people infected each year, ascarid infection is one of the leading causes of unilateral blindness.

A pet’s history and life-style gives some indica-

tion as to whether they are more or less likely to have certain parasites. Important factors include age of pet, recent adoption from a shelter, frequenting of dog parks, administra-tion of year-round preven-tives, hunting, presence of f leas, access to rodents or cockroaches and pres-

ence of other medical problems. Even pre-dominantly indoor pets are likely to be exposed to para-

sites.The Companion

Animal Parasite Council recommends that appro-priate fecal examinations be performed on puppies and kittens at least two to four times during the first year of life and once or twice per year in adults.

We can only hope that someday the task of fecal examination will become exceedingly boring because we are no longer finding anything. The goal is a negative sample so that, as

occurs with people, tests will only be ordered when there is clinical suspicion of infection or a history supporting a need for a fecal examination.

However, for now, fecal examinations continue to be an important compo-nent of the routine, pre-ventative examination in our medical family, and it is important to perform these tests in a manner that maximizes detection of parasitic infections.

The true goal is preven-tion of illness, pain and suffering; to help you, as a pet owner, provide a lon-ger, healthier and happier life for your best friend.
