Tahoma High School’s We the People team of con-stitutional masterminds have won the state champi-onship for the sixth time in a row, its 19th state win overall.

In April, the team of 26 seniors will head to Wash-ington, D.C. for the national competition.

But the road to get there will not be an easy one. Gretchen Wulfi ng, the students’ teacher and eight-year coach for We the People, told the students last week that if they want to get into the top three at

nationals, it’s going to require a lot of work. Sydney Murrey is up for the challenge. She comes

from a family that isn’t strangers to the We the People team, or “Weoples” as they like to call them-selves. Her two older siblings competed on the team as seniors and both went on to compete at Nationals.

Murrey said she’s excited for the chance to go to nation’s capital and is willing to put in the work that is looming over her and her teammates.

“We’ve worked this hard since July; I’m ready to push hard through the end,” she said in an interview.

Her teammates agree. Megan Simmons, who is in the group that studies

philosophical ideas surrounding the Constitution, said the hard work isn’t really work anymore.

“It’s a lifestyle at this point,” she said, laughing.Her new “lifestyle” has had its infl uence on her

other studies at Tahoma. It has not only helped her

Sean Smith was disappointed when he was passed over for a council seat in 2008. He felt ready. Looking back, he realizes that might not have been true.

“To be totally honest, it was probably the best thing for me because I thought I was qualifi ed and ready and realized over the last half dozen years, being on the

planning commission, I learned a lot,” he said. “I have a much better grasp of what the community wants.”

Th e Covington City Council fi nalized the fl uctuating faces of its city government Jan. 13 by appointing Smith to the council.

Smith, an environmentalist and Cov-ington resident since 2006, takes over for Wayne Snoey who resigned for health reasons at the end of 2014. He joins Regan Bolli, who started as the new City Manager on Jan. 12.

Smith, 49, spent fi ve years as chairman of the Covington Planning Commission and is an environmental specialist in the Hazardous Waste, Toxics Reduction Pro-gram for the Washington state Department of Ecology. He and his wife, MaryAnn, have two children — Luke, 11, and Sophia, 9. Aft er an unsuccessful run for Bud

With the passage of I-502 in 2012, development of marijuana legislation and marijuana re-search has surged to unprecedented levels. In an attempt to clearly translate new laws and research, the Reporter and Courier-Herald will ex-amine these issues in a four-part series. Part one of this series addresses the issue of previous criminal convictions of pos-session of marijuana.

With a whole slew of marijuana-related legislation on the docket in Olympia this session, it’s clear

legislators are more comfortable with the idea of weeding out the issues surrounding recreational pot legalization.

Initiative 502, passed by voters in the 2012 election, was still in its infancy when the 2013-14 biennium began.

It appeared legislators wanted to back off from pot until they were armed with more information to better talk about the issues that surrounded it. Only about 10 percent of the fi led bills relating to mari-juana were passed into law at the end of the last biennium.

I wish I could give advice to parents who struggle with their children’s attitudes, but I really don’t know how I’ve come out with such trouble-free daughters. At least they’re great for the foreseeable future. We never really know what will come down the pike, but I think I’m safe.

“Mom? Since it’s a three-day weekend, can I go to Joann’s tonight aft er dinner?”

I’ve never met this Joann she’s talking about, but I’m not worried. She wasn’t going to some unknown friend’s house for a party, she wanted to go to JoAnn Fabrics. She’s working on a costume for the next anime/comicon/concert, I’ve lost track.

My oldest came home from college for this Martin Luther King weekend. She and my youngest plan to do some running around to thrift shops to help my oldest fi nd clothes for a costume for an upcoming concert.

Not only are they not getting into trouble, but my daughters get along very well; sharing mutual interests of

art, anime, technology, sarcasm and humor. When my oldest is home, they end up in one bedroom or the other, crazy laughter emanating throughout the house.

Th ey used to fi ght when they were young; my oldest having a penchant for hitting when she wasn’t getting her way, my youngest completely embarrassed by anything her older sister did or said. My youngest also had a volatile temper when she was little; terrible twos from 18 months to around 5 years old.

When they fought, my rule was to ignore them as long as they weren’t bothering me or drawing blood. If the disagreement interfered with my peace, I intervened.

I don’t know when the moment of common understanding came for them; but these days, we all enjoy the cease-fi re a reciprocal perception brings.

However, my biggest complaint about my children continues. Over Christmas break, they had a friend overnight. I got up around midnight to get a glass of water when I ran into them in the kitchen. Th eir friend’s specialty is encrusted chicken breast and she was searching the cupboards for bread crumbs. Do people buy bread crumbs? I just make them out

of bread. Th e next morning, I woke up to

the aft ermath of hurricane teen. Th e kitchen was a wreck; bread crumbs spread hither and yon. I didn’t follow my fi rst instinct, which was to drag them out of bed to clean the kitchen.

My sister was visiting and we chuckled as we picked through the kitchen making our breakfast, then went off to run some errands. Around about 1 p.m., I texted my youngest, “Clean the kitchen before I get home.”

Apparently, she read the text just as they were running out the door to head to JoAnn fabrics. Th ey turned around and cleaned up the kitchen. When I got home she said, “I was planning on cleaning it up eventually.”

But I know better; there is that hope that mom will just think it’s part of the normal messy kitchen and will clean it up. Th at’s really why they leave messes about. I’m not alone, though. I was having coff ee with a girlfriend the other day and she was complaining about her four kids’ lack of help over the Christmas break. A couple of her kids are in their 20s.

No, this is a fl aw that won’t resolve itself until they get homes of their own. But if midnight cooking is the biggest problem I have with my chil-dren, I can live with that.

Sizemore’s council post in 2008, Smith said the mayor and sitting council chal-lenged him to stay engaged in local politics. He accept-ed the challenge by working on the Covington Planning Commission and its Budget and Priorities Advisory Commission. He received the Panning Commission’s 2010 Commissioner of the Year award. He has also

served as an art docent and a volunteer science coordinator at Covington Elementary.

“I slowly learned the ins and outs of city govern-ment,” he said. “When Wayne stepped down I threw my hat in the ring again feeling I have skills and a background that would be benefi cial to the community.”

Councilwoman Marlla Mhoon, who was appointed

to the council in 2006, said Smith brings a “wealth of experience” in volunteerism at a local and national level.

“He’s ready to get in there and go to work,” she said. “He was easily the most qualifi ed person.”

Smith named aff ordable housing and safe neighbor-hoods as priorities, but said he is primarily focused on four E’s: Economy, envi-ronment, education and effi cient running of city

government.Smith said Covington

needs to better diversify its economy to attract more “living wage jobs,” while also expanding its retail sector. He hopes the city can replicate the Kent Station, even hoping for the same “anchor” as the neighboring mixed urban village — a movie theater.

“I think the movie the-ater would be the anchor, I think that would be a great thing to have in Coving-ton,” he said.

When discussing envi-ronment, Smith said he’s in favor of protecting parks and open spaces while also building infrastructure that can lead to a safer commu-nity. As for governmental effi ciencies, Smith said he’s pretty happy with how Cov-ington currently operates.

“Th ere wasn’t a lot of frivolous spending,” he said. “I want to continue that. Make sure what we are spending is getting highest return on investment pos-sible.”

Beyond building excite-ment for the city’s Town Center project, which offi cials hope will be a more traditional downtown loca-tion on seven acres of land located south of Rite Aid and north of Covington Elementary, Smith said he believes Covington offi cials should consider marketing the city as a “gateway to the Cascades.”

Since its establishment in Maple Valley 50 years ago, Lake Wilderness Arbo-retum Foundation volunteers have taken a major role in eff orts to enhance its programs and maintain its beauty, establishing the gardens, the collec-tions, trail access to 26 acres of preserved native forest and the nursery area that is now known as Lake Wilderness Arboretum. One way to ensure the Arboretum’s vitality for the next 50 years is to learn more about its gardens as well as sound gardening practices.

“Please consider joining our docent group at Lake Wilderness Arboretum,” said lead docent Cindy Ostermann. “You don’t need to be an expert to join; you will learn from our program’s experienced docents.”

Docent training starts Thursday, Feb. 5 with training meetings scheduled on the fi rst and third Thursdays of February through April, and on the third Thursday only from May through October. Meetings begin at 12:30 p.m. in the on-site nursery facility. Volunteers spend approximately three to six hours per month on training, tours and presentations.

For more information on the Lake Wilderness Arboretum Foundation docent program, email [email protected]. Visit LakeWildernes-sArboretum.org or call 253- 293-5103 to volunteer, donate or become a member.

COMMON CANCER SYMPTOMS THAT MEN IGNORE

The fact is that men are less likely than women to visit the doctor for cancer screenings and check-ups. Following is a list of ten symptoms that should raise red flags for men: Changes in the testicles and lumps in the breasts should warrant a call to the doctor (although breast cancer in men is rare, it does occur). Swollen lymph nodes in the absence of illness, unexplained weight loss, and fevers that won’t go away and aren’t caused by illness should all be checked out. Any chronic cough, trouble swallowing, or white mouth patches need investigating. Bleeding from coughing, in the urine, or in a bowel movement require a call to the doctor as does persistent fatigue. And the best way to keep on top of cancer screenings is to remember to make and keep appointments for annual physicals.

The cancers that most often affect men are prostate, colon, lung, and skin cancers. Knowing about these cancers and how they can be prevented or found early when they are small and easier to treat can save your life.

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 sleeping 2-year-old child was found unharmed aft er a vehicle theft outside Covington on Jan. 16.

An unidentifi ed man stole a pickup truck and fl atbed trailer from the 28000 block of 177 Avenue Southeast at 5:20 p.m., according to the King County Sheriff ’s Offi ce.

Sgt. DB Gates, spokeswoman for the King County Sheriff ’s Offi ce, said deputies believe that, unbeknownst to the suspect, a 2-year-old child slept inside the vehicle. Gates said the child’s parent was standing directly next to the

vehicle when it was stolen.Approximately 15 minutes later the

truck was found in the 32000 block of Th omas Road Southeast. Gates said the suspect fl ed on foot to a nearby busi-ness and convinced a customer to give him a lift out of the area.

As of Tuesday, the King County Sheriff ’s Offi ce was still seeking the man, described as having tattoos on at least one of his upper arms, believed to be involved in the theft . A surveil-lance video of the man can be found at maplevalleyreporter.com.

Anyone who recognizes the suspect is asked to call the sheriff ’s offi ce at (206) 296-3311.

POLICE SEE INCREASE IN MAIL THEFTSNortheast King County has been experiencing an increase in mail thefts, with 68 reports in a recent 14 week period, according to the King County Sheriff ’s Offi ce. The reasons behind this uptick are unclear. Detectives have arrested several suspects, but mailboxes continue to be an easy target of opportunity for thieves. The suspects are looking for mail that contains items they can turn around quickly; such as gift cards and/or cash. If they fi nd checks they’re washing them, making them out to themselves and changing the amounts.

While the thefts happen at all hours of the day, most occur during two diff erent time periods, noon-2 p.m. and midnight-2 a.m. The suspects target traditional mailboxes, yet they aren’t deterred by locking ones either. They will pry open locked boxes and have even gone so far as to use a torch on the hinges on a bank of mailboxes like those found in many housing developments.

To stay protected from these thefts, police say to make a habit of collecting your mail every day. Also, consider buying a locking mailbox. If you’re going on vacation either arrange for a neighbor to collect your mail or ask the post offi ce to hold your mail until you return. When sending mail, don’t place it out for your mail carrier; drop it off at the post offi ce. Remember, that red fl ag is a notice to everyone that there is mail in the box.

Most importantly, citizens know best what is suspicious activity in their neighborhood. They are urged to call police if they see someone spending time at or near mailboxes or following a mail carrier. Several arrests of mail thieves have happened because citizens called about something they saw that just didn’t seem right.

WREATHS PLACED IN COVINGTON DURING WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA CEREMONYMembers of the Disabled American Veterans, local Chapter No. 33, placed Christmas wreaths on “fallen hero” chapter members graves at Tahoma National Cemetery as part of Wreaths Across America ceremonies last month.

As I sit here in the offi ce this morning, trying to do take care of my daily tasks, I only have one thing on my mind.

Th e Seahawks 28-22 overtime win over the Green Bay Packers Sunday.

I am still in shock.I have to admit, for a

while during the game I was losing faith.

I was starting to think about what a great season we had and how we were that close to making it to the Super Bowl again this year.

And then everything changed.Th e fourth quarter, actually the last few

minutes of the game, might have been the most exciting minutes I can ever remember watching of a football game in my life.

It happened so fast. So many of the Seahawks’ fi nal plays that

needed to go Seattle’s way, did.It was perfect.In a way, I’m happy the game turned out the

way it did — being as stressful as it was — be-cause last year we didn’t get that in the Super Bowl.

It was nice to win and nice to win big over the Denver Broncos but having close, nail-biting games make watching all that more entertaining.

I was getting very frustrated during the game with Lakewood local, wide receiver Jermaine Kearse.

For those who know me, it has always been known that I had a love-hate for Kearse when he played for the Dawgs.

He would drive me crazy when he could catch passes when he was double, even triple teamed but would drop passes straight to him.

But when he started playing for the Hawks, things changed. He got Lasik eye surgery in February 2013 and that seemed to help him see the passes coming his way more clearly.

Now that you know the history of my love-

hate for Kearse, you will understand why I was frustrated with him Sunday.

No matter if Russell Wilson should have thrown some or all of those passes to him or not, all four of Wilson’s interceptions came off passes intended for Kearse.

And it was driving me crazy. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

When the game was down to the wire, I was getting nervous even watching Wilson attempt to pass the ball to anyone — I couldn’t stand to see the Packers pick it off again.

And I was convinced that if he threw Kearse’s way, it would be intercepted again for sure.

As I watched with my fi ancé and his family and let them all know my feelings toward Kearse and the interceptions – I told them there was one way for him to redeem himself.

I said, he would be able to do so if he scored the game winning touchdown.

Little did I know, that less than four minutes into overtime that would actually happen.

Wilson hit Kearse for the 35-yard touchdown, sending everyone in Seattle into a frenzy.

I couldn’t believe my eyes.

Kearse had redeemed himself.Th is looked all too familiar, too – Kearse

caught the game winning touchdown in last year’s conference title game against the 49ers.

And for the fi rst time in 10 years, the Se-ahawks are the defending Super Bowl champions trying to win back-to-back titles.

Watching Wilson and Kearse and a number of other Hawks show their true emotions aft er the game was almost as breathtaking as the game itself.

It was nice to see the raw emotion fl ow from people who society wants us to think are big, tough guys who don’t cry.

Th ose tears of joy shed by the Hawks shows the heart these players have. You can see the hard work and dedication they put into what they do out there on the fi eld.

It may not have been pretty, at fi rst, and it may not have been the best game, off ensively, but the Hawks held on and fought back.

Now they are headed back to a familiar stage where everyone’s eyes will be on them as they defend their title facing off against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots on Feb. 1.

First Editor’s Note: I will apologize in the opening of this column to anyone who (un-advisedly) decides to read this. It may be disjointed and wacky. I am currently riding a ferry to Friday Harbor, with no radio or phone service for the second half of the Seahawks’ NFC championship game. I am writing this in my car hoping to avoid getting seasick or going boat crazy. I was a fi ne sailor in the early 1970s, specializing in heroically throwing up.

About a week ago, I was minding my own madness when suddenly I found myself being harangued because I could not name a TV show I like or follow. I won’t reveal the names of those who were badgering me in the offi ce; we will just

refer to them as Brandy Pickering and Kathy McCauley (the creative goddesses).

I admit some think, for no good reason, I am Mr. Boring at times. It is not uncommon for certain reporters who work for me to give me the “he should be locked up” eye roll when I give them little known buttermilk facts. I have a moderately grown daughter and I am very famil-iar with the “Is he still talking or is that wind?” look from Katy (and her evil little Yorkie, com-monly known as Yodi, the Princess over Me).

Aft er listening to the goddesses make fun of me, I returned the next day ready for battle. I in-formed the creative goddesses I do have a show I watch on Saturdays and Sundays – “Book TV” on C-Span. I love “Book TV.”

I was informed by the goddesses that “Book TV” didn’t count. Why do goddesses get to make up rules that no one ever tells me about? Th ere is a plot lurking in that rulebook.

I decided it was time to break out my secret weapon. I began whining to them about one of the best “Book TV” programs I had seen in a long time. Th e program featured three or four hours of speakers from the National Constitu-tion Center. Each one was moderated by Jeff ery Rosen, president and CEO of the organization and an excellent Constitutional attorney. If you

haven’t been to the Constitution Center’s website and you have kids interested in the subject, it is a great resource, and very fun according to me – Mr. Zippy.

Th e website, constitutioncenter.org, has the Constitution articles and amendments with links to many articles explaining stories and court rulings.

One example involves the articles linked to Article VI, usually referred to as the supremacy clause. I always thought it meant that I was the supreme being over Princess Yodi. Th e evil Yor-kie was spending a week at my house during the “Book TV” programs and one of the speakers pointed out the Constitution describes the rights and limits of the government, not the people (I guess that means me). Somehow the little mutt got the gist and I had to give her an extra treat for lying to a doggie. Another new rule no one told me about.

If you or your kids go to the Constitution Center’s website there are fi ne articles on the supremacy clause with accurate explanations of what it means and the current issues involving the article.

OK, I admit “Book TV” may not be all that when it comes to the high-brow entertainment

One of the bills that didn’t make the cut was reintroduced this session by its primary sponsor, Rep. Joe Fitzgibbon, a Democrat from the 34th district. If enacted into law, the bill would allow people with a single misdemeanor marijuana convic-tion to vacate their conviction status. This means they could have their case revisited and the current law applied to their previ-ous crime.

The bill would only apply to individuals 21 or older at the time of conviction and in possession of 40 grams or less of marijuana. Fitzgibbon said the law would not apply to people with multiple convictions, marijua-na-related or otherwise.

“(It’s) aimed at those people that don’t have other charges on their record,” Fitzgib-bon said in a phone interview.

When the bill was introduced in the last biennium, Fitzgibbon said there was an estimated 3,000-4,000 people this would affect.

For those people, he said, it would im-prove their ability to get a job and/or apply for a mortgage.

The bill, HB 1041, was read at a public hearing in the House Public Safety commit-tee Friday, Jan. 16 in Olympia.

Alex Frix, a public defender representing the Washington Association of Crimi-nal Defense Lawyers, was the only one to testify about the bill because Fitzgibbon was unable to attend the hearing.

Frix spoke for only about a minute.

“In favor of this bill,” he said. “But, I don’t need a lot of time to say why… It is patently unfair to continue to punish people with the state of a conviction for pos-sessing a now legal substance.”

No questions came from the panel of Public Safety Committee mem-bers.

Committee Chair Rep. Roger Goodman

only made the comment that it was one of the quickest hearings they’ve ever had and the committee will be “seriously consider-ing (the bill).”

During the 2013 session, the bill was passed out of the Public Safety Committee with a 6-5 vote.

Representatives Brad Klippert and Dave Hayes, both Republicans, voted against the

bill in 2013. Both still preside on the Public Safety Committee as ranking minority member and as-sistant ranking minority member, respectively. Attempts were made to contact both lawmakers but they were unavailable to make any com-ment as of press time.

After the passing vote in the Public Safety Committee in 2013, it moved on to the House Appropria-tions Subcommittee on General

Government and Information Technology where it was passed onto the Rules Com-mittee for a second reading. The bill never made it to the House floor. No action was taken on the bill in the 2014 session.

Fitzgibbon said he hopes that legislators will be a little more open to talking about the issue of marijuana convictions during this session.

“Because we’ve had a little bit more time for the initiative to be in effect, I think there will be more, sort of, comfort with the idea,” he said.

The cost of implementing the bill if it be-comes law could run about $465,000 from 2015 to 2017, according to the fiscal note attached to the bill. The majority of the cost is associated with staff salaries and benefits with about 80 percent of the total coming from the county level.

In estimating the cost, the Office of Financial Management determined there would be about 5,600 new hearings each year for the next two years associated with marijuana misdemeanor conviction vaca-tions.

After that, the numbers dwindle to a cost estimate of $268,000 for the 2017-19 and 2019-21 bienniums, each.

House Bill 1041 had not been scheduled for another reading in the Public Safety committee as of Tuesday afternoon. More information on this bill can be found at leg.wa.gov.

with her writing class, it also carries over into her every day life.

“This (class) has revolutionized din-ner conversation at my house,” she said.

Sometimes, she said, she gets so ani-mated and passionate that her mother has to bring her back to normal talking speed using an unconventional but good-natured method.

“If my mom finds me talking too fast, she squirts me with a water bottle... in the face,” Simmons said, laughing. “She carries it with her now, because appar-ently it’s an issue.”

If you think this kind of passion and interest in the Constitution among high school students is an anomaly, you wouldn’t be too far off.

Renee Hancock, another Weoples team member this year, said she is concerned about how little knowledge high school students have regarding the Constitution and current events.

In 2011, the New York Times reported that fewer than half of eighth graders in the U.S. “knew the purpose of the Bill of Rights.” That statistic was found through the National Assessment of Education Progress test taken by fourth, eighth and 12th grade students in 2010.

Last week, however, Arizona became the first state to approve a new law requiring high school students to pass a civics citizenship test, the same test that new U.S. citizens must pass.

After a search in Washington’s bill database, it appears there has not been a similar piece of legislation introduced this session so far.

Hancock said the knowledge she has gained in the class has not only trans-lated well into her other classes, but also into her admissions interviews for college.

During her interviews she was asked to explain what she thinks the biggest current issue is in the U.S. She said she had a plethora of ideas to talk about at length.

When she tells them about this class, the admissions officers are stunned, Hancock said.

“I think it’s kind of impressive that I’m using all this free time to debate the Constitution,” she said. “Nerdy, but impressive.”

Tahoma’s Weoples team will travel to Washington, D.C. in April for the National competition. During the next few months they will not only be study-ing hard, but also holding fundraisers to help finance their trip.

People interested in donating to their trip can send checks addressed to Tahoma We the People to:

Would your legislator ever consider decriminalizing heroin possession? Or maybe turning the Supreme Court justices’ elections partisan? What about allowing teenagers to taste alcohol?

The 2015 legislative session is just getting started, but already some proposed

bills are likely to turn a few heads. Sixteen Republicans and three Demo-crats have sponsored House Bill 1051,

which would require Supreme Court justices — but no other judicial officer in the state — to declare a partisan affiliation when running for election. One sponsor, Rep.

Hans Dunshee, D-Snohomish, has called the bill more of a poke at the

Supreme Court than a genuine attempt to

pass legislation.The bill comes in response to the Su-

preme Court’s 2012 McCleary decision, which requires legislators to pass funda-mental reforms to state education funding. The bill’s sponsors believe the Supreme Court violated the separation of powers by telling legislators explicitly what to do, and therefore “should be considered partisan like the legislature,” according to the bill’s

Taking your Cat to the Vet - Traveling with a Cat

Regular visits to your veterinarian are critical for maintaining your cat's optimal health. It is fairly easy to get a dog in the car because they have been accustomed to car travel and often see the car as a chance to accompany their owners on what might be a fun and exciting outing. Cats, on the other hand, rarely leave the confi nes of the house and usually see travel as a negative experienceas they often end up at the vet, groomer or boarding facility.

Cats are creatures of habit and they like being in control of their surroundings. They do not enjoy being enclosed in small spaces like the cat carrier and often have a healthy dislike of the noise and motion of the car. When they see the cat carrier come out they often make a mad dash for the nearest escape and this is the last you will see of your cat for hours.

Traveling with a cat in a car or any other form of transportation can be a stressful experience for a cat but there are several tips on how to travel that can ease the anxiety of the cat leaving the house. First, get the right size cat carrier. If your cat dreads going into the small confi nes of a carrier, consider getting an over-sized, top-loading cat carrier so your cat doesn’t need to squeeze through a narrow door.

Keep the cat carrier out in the home with the door open and make the interior inviting. You can place toys or other enjoyable items inside.

Many times the cat carrier is in a closet or garage and only comes out when it is time to go to the vet- which is sure to incite fear in your cat. On the day of the vet visit you can place treats, cat nip or a small amount of food in the cat carrier to entice your cat inside peacefully. Consider spraying the inside of the cat carrier with pheromones or relaxing sprays to help calm any fears associated with the cat carrier or vet visit. You should also consider taking your cat on short car trips in the cat carrier that don’t end up at the vet’s offi ce. Take him for a short ride in the car and then praise him with words and treats to help him be less nervous about future trips.

Well-Mannered at the VetBy Kathy Lang, Family Dog Training Center

If your dog gets a little stressed going to the vet, here are some things you can do to make the experience more pleasant:

Many waiting rooms are relatively small, fi lled with anxiety and nervous energy. Your dog will take his lead from you and your demeanor, so be sure to remain calm. Calm body language includes deep breathing, slow speech patterns and movements. Make sure your dog sits at the doorway and you enter the clinic under control.

Use obedience commands to help your dog relax in the waiting room. After you check in with the receptionist, work on simple skills and tricks such as sit, down and shake. Tricks, treats and commands will keep your dog focused on you and help him relax knowing that you are in control of what could otherwise be a scary situation.

If you have a very small dog, keep him on your lap, or in a carrier, until it’s your turn to see the veterinarian. If you have a large or out-of-control dog, check in with the receptionist while your dog waits in the car until it’s his turn. If your dog becomes extremely fearful, do not attempt to soothe him by inadvertently praising him for growling or shaking or hiding under your chair. It’s better to change the subject – give him little jobs to do to earn treats.

If your vet occasionally needs to take your dog into the back room for more thorough testing, nail trimming or blood work, be calm as you hand the leash to the technician. Tell your dog to “Go with Sally” and act as though it’s no big deal. Fido will take his cue from you.

Some veterinarians allow – and even encourage -- their clients to stop by the clinic during quiet times of the day for a quick visit. Have your dog walk into the waiting room, step on the scale and sit to greet the receptionist. Ask your dog to obey a few commands; reward with praise and treats. Say good-bye and return to the car. While it only takes a few minutes, this additional training time at the vet’s offi ce can make every appointment more relaxing for both of you.

Scott Funston’s trip to Austin, Texas for a national cyclocross competition was almost wrecked because of a few trees.

About 30 minutes before his race on Sunday, Jan. 11, he and the 62 other competitors were told it was canceled.

For the next two hours, he and his family thought they’d wasted a trip to Texas. However, Funston said the race offi cials came back and said racing would resume the next day, Monday.

A couple of 200-year-old oak trees caused the delay, Funston said. Th e race track was alongside the trees and the repetitive riding through the mud was damaging the roots.

“Because of the conditions, they wanted to wait a day and let it dry it out,” he said in a phone interview aft er the race.

Funston, a ninth grade student at Tahoma Junior High, has been competing in cyclocross since he was 10. Th e sport is a hybrid between mountain biking and road cycling.

Funston took home the gold medal in his age division, junior men’s 15-16.

He said he hopes to continue to race in cyclocross and in two years qualify for the world champion-ships. In order to compete at that level, racers must be at least 17 years old by Dec. 31 the year of the competition. Funston is 14, but his racing age is 15.

Th is year, the cyclocross World Championship is being held in Tábor, Czech Republic. But Funston said Belgium is the ultimate venue for cyclocross.

“In Belgium, cyclocross is almost like American football,” he said.

Funston rides for Rad Rac-ing NW, which includes mostly

Western Washington riders. Layton Meyers, Funston’s friend and team-mate, also raced in the junior men’s 15-16 division in Austin. He placed seventh.

Funston’s passion for the sport was handed down to him through his dad, Ron.

Ron quit racing in his 40s but he

still continues to ride, Funston said.Th is is Funston’s fi rst gold medal

of his racing career, having won multiple second and third place spots in the past. He said it’s the atmosphere that he loves about the sport.

The Kentwood boys basketball team lost for only the second time this season during a battle of conference leaders Jan. 16.

The Conks, who sit atop the SPSL 4A Northeast conference, fell to Northwest conference leaders Federal Way, 77-64. The Eagles are the states No. 1 ranked team in 4A. As of press deadline Tuesday, Kent-wood was 4-0 in conference, 13-2 overall. The Conks will host second-place Ken-tridge on Jan. 24.

Kentwood coach Blake Solomon said his squad played “pretty well” against the top-ranked Eagles, especially defensively through the third quarter. The Conks cold shooting hurt, he said, particularly at the free throw line, where the group connected on just 15 of their 34 attempts.

“Make a couple of those and the game changes quite a bit,” Solomon said.

Solomon said the game worked as a mea-suring stick for the rest of the season.

“I told the team, if that is best the state has to offer we are really close,” he said. “It’s kind of good for our kids to see that they can play with anybody.”

In other local action Jan. 16, Kentlake won its third game in a row, dropping De-catur 72-48. Tahoma, meanwhile, lost 40-45 against Northwest conference foe Thomas Jefferson.

As of press deadline, the Falcons and Bears were both 1-3 in conference, 10-5 and 5-10 overall, respectively.

Marianne Binetti will be speaking at the Tacoma Home and Garden Show Jan 22-25 every afternoon at 2. Topics will be “How to Enjoy your Garden More and work less” and “Design Inspira-tion.” For details visit www.otshows.com

The end of January and beginning of February means it

is time to dig in and start planning and planting.

Five things you can do this winter for your garden:1. Buy and plant bare

root roses.Area nurseries have a

great price on roses during the winter because they are sold “bare root” or without a pot and soil. This means they usually have their roots encased in a plastic bag with damp sawdust keeping the bare roots damp. Bare

root roses this time of year are still dormant so this also makes them easier to plant, as they won’t suffer as much from the shock of transplant-ing. Bare root roses are much easier to load into the car and carry about the garden. This is the best time of year to find named varieties of hybrid tea roses like the disease-resistant Peace rose, climbing roses like the classic New Dawn pink rose and hardy shrub, landscape and species roses like the thorny but tough Rosa Rugosa.

Planting Tip: Soak the bare roots overnight in a bucket of water and if you buy a boxed bare root rose, do not plant the cardboard

box with the rose no matter what the package recom-mends. Our mild winter cli-mate means the rose roots

do not need the added protection of cardboard.

2. Buy and plant bare root fruit trees and berries.

Once again, winter is the best time to add bare root fruit trees because they are under the anesthetic of winter and won’t suffer from the transplant operation. If your New Year’s resolution is to become more self-sufficient by growing more food, make this the week you add a mini-orchard to your property. Apple trees come in dwarf and semi-dwarf root stocks and there

is also a “Columnar” apple tree that bears fruit on the trunk or short spurs. This tree does not branch out. The “Columnar” apple tree needs just 2 feet of room and can be grown in a half whiskey barrel.

3. Buy and plant bare root flowering shrubs.

Old-fashioned favorites like lilac, spiraea, forsythia and quince can be pur-chased bare root and a dozen of these blooming shrubs will take up less space in your car than a week’s worth of groceries. Use a mix of inexpensive bare root shrubs and a few evergreens to design a border of plant material along a property line or in front of a fence line to create a tapestry of bloom. A mix of blooming bushes can replace the evergreen

and ever boring line of py-ramidalis arborvitae lined up like green soldiers. The more diverse the plants in your landscape the better it is for local birds, bees, insects and wildlife. 4. Order seeds from

catalogs now or buy seeds from local nurseries offered by local seed companies.

Those of us who live in Western Washington are lucky to have Ed Hume Seed Company based in Puyallup with Ed Hume himself still recommend-ing the best seed varieties and planting tips from his 50-plus years of local gardening experience. You can find Ed Hume seeds at many home centers, grocery stores and nurseries or order online at EdHume-Seeds.com. It is still too early to start many seeds either indoors or out, but

purchasing seeds now en-sures that the varieties you want will be in stock and you can use the information on the package to plot out when and where to plant the seed.

Tip: Displaying colorful seed packs in a basket or bowl is a great spring tonic. You can also string a piece of twine across a window or mantel. Then use clothes pins to clip the seed pack-ages to the twine for an inspirational banner of summer bounty to come.5. Sign up for a class at

a nursery, check out some gardening books from the library or buy early-bird discount tickets to the Northwest Flower and Gar-den Show (www.garden-show.com). There is a lot of winter inspiration available now to heat up your spring fever.

first section. Sen. Jan Angel, R-Port

Orchard, has sponsored Sen-ate Bill 5008, which would amend the state definition of a “beverage” to exclude beer and other malt drinks. The proposal is all about the con-tainer, though not the liquid inside. The bill would allow business owners to sell beer in a new type of container with a recyclable lid. That type of bottle is prohibited under current law.

HB 1004, co-sponsored by Rep. Larry Springer, D-Kirkland, and nine others, would allow community col-leges and universities to hold alcohol tastings for those over the age of 18. It would also allow people between the ages of 18 and 21 to taste alcohol in relevant courses, such as viticulture.

Rep. Sherry Appleton, D-Poulsbo, co-sponsored HB 1024, which would remove the felony classification from drug possession charges, reducing them to simple misdemeanors. The bill is set

to be presented to the House Public Safety Committee on Jan. 16, but Appleton believes it’s too early to predict how the proposal will do.

“I expect that moving this through the Legislature will be a big challenge, and I can’t predict whether we’ll make it this year or not,” she said via email. “What I hope to accomplish is to improve on the situation we now have, which finds us with people still incarcerated in our state for simple possession.”

Appleton’s identical bill last year never made it to the House floor. But proposing the same bill multiple times

is not uncommon in the Legislature.

“All ideas need to start somewhere,” said indepen-dent pollster Stuart Elway. “If they know it’s not going to pass this time, maybe next time or five years down the road it’ll gain traction. There’s a lot of [bills] that take two or three sessions before they ever make it further along.”

Among other interesting bills is a measure to outlaw breed-based dog bans, which some dog owners be-lieve unfairly target certain breeds without the science

to back up the bans. An-other proposed bill would create an advisory commit-tee to set East Asian-medi-cine standards.

The fate or future of any of these proposals rests with the legislative process that opened Monday in Olympia. For the curious, bills filed and their hear-ing schedule if referred to committee may be accessed at http://app.leg.wa.gov/billinfo/.

no one tells me about anymore because they think I’m Mr. Dullinski. But I did learn I am not the supreme being who gets to wear a cape. Who knows what you might fi nd out about yourself at the National Constitu-tion Center site, or in book or watching some boring TV.

Second Editor’s Note:I missed nearly all of the Seahawks’ game with no radio or phone service on the ferry. Th e last I knew the Hawks were in big trouble.When I fi nally reached Friday Harbor, I was busy carrying my stuff into my room when I heard a bunch of cheer-ing. I fi gured there must be a bunch of Green Bay fans up here. I didn’t see the game except in replays during the evening. Th e one thought that came to me was line written by greek historian Herodo-tus in the fi ft h century B.C. (I will keep it short so no “he’s nuts and boring as dried paint” eye rolls please). “Count no man happy until the end is known.”

Sections of most every cyclocross racetrack are covered in thick mud. Funston described riding through the muck as a balancing act, literally.

“It’s hard to fi nd the fi ne line between going so physically hard that you lose control and going as hard as possible without losing control,” he said.

Sometimes, Funston added, he has to get off and run with his bike because it’s faster than riding.

Funston said there are many ways to qualify for the world championships. If he was at the right age, he “most likely” would have qualifi ed this year.
