A medical marijuana business has opened in Black Diamond.

Lady Buds, Inc., located at 31515 3rd Ave., is described as a management company by owner Vali Bauer.

According to Lady Buds web-site, it is a “garden management service company.”

Bauer said the organization, which she asserted was not selling products, ensures diff erent collec-tive gardens in the area comply with state law.

“Th e collec-tive gardens can bring in dona-tions,” Bauer said. “Qualifi ed patients are able to receive donations.”

Some of Lady Buds’ products are also off ered as donations on mmjmenu.com for patients who qualify.

Bauer said there are plans to off er massage therapy and other alternative medicines available in the future.

“We’re still new, so we’re still starting up,” Bauer said. “But we want to do what we can to help those who qualify.”

A possible zoning change for a chunk of land on state Route 169 could be the next step from a bedroom community to bustling suburb for Maple Valley.

Th e Maple Valley City Council is considering proposed zoning changes to a 50 acre chunk of land, known as the Brandt prop-erty, located northeast of state Route 169 and Southeast 240th Way. Th e proposal has already drawn criticism from residents near the property who have con-cerns about the possible eff ect on traffi c and the appearance of buildings which could potentially go up there.

At its Aug. 15 meeting, the Maple Valley Planning Commis-sion voted to recommend the changes.

Currently, the property is zoned as multiple use which the owners, according to the Planning Com-mission’s recommendation, “have said repeatedly that they have been unable to successfully attract investors and partners and unable

Every high school senior should aspire to be a college student.

Th at has been the prevailing attitude for some time in the Tahoma School District, and likely the community, but Superinten-dent Mike Maryanksi realized a few years ago that approach was not serving the needs of all students who walk away with a diploma from Tahoma High School.

To that end, the Tahoma School Board

asked district staff to form a committee to evaluate how the district should help kids become not only career ready, but college ready, or as the administrative team at Ta-homa High has dubbed it: future ready.

Th e committee, which consisted of nearly 50 members, fi rst met June 6.

Larry Destro, who has six children with four in the district now, was invited by Tahoma High Principal Terry Duty to participate.

“Th e process was really, No. 1 to under-stand the current situation as it relates to

our public education system, K-12, and recognition of the fact that they data they shared with is that upon graduation, almost all parents said, ‘Yeah, my kid’s going to college,” Destro said. “But, at the end of six years, roughly 40 percent had gone on to get an AA or BA degree. Th e question that Mike raised and that we raised is, ‘Are we really addressing the needs of that other 60 percent?’”

With 60 percent of Tahoma High gradu-ates going on to a two-year or four-year college, Destro said, it’s important to note the district does a great job getting kids ready to get accepted as well as the fact that college is still a worthwhile pursuit for kids.

“We have a really strong program for kids who want to go to college,” said Ta-homa High Assistant Principal Diane Fox. “Th ose classes are laid out. We do a really

go job of sending our kids to college. Only 40 percent that go actually fi nish in six years. What is life like for them when they drop out? What we know is No. 1, that debt doesn’t go away.”

Th ere are, however, alternatives to the traditional four-year concept that many students feel they have to strive for and parents believe their kids should aim for.

“We just wanted to know if we were meeting the needs of all the students, were we being inclusive,” Destro said. “Everyone who participated … had the same ‘aha!’ moment. Everyone’s mindset was that everyone should be going to college when in fact there are many alternatives which provide a great income without creating the burden of a four-year degree which may

HUMAN SERVICES SPOTLIGHTSafe & Sound Visitation Center

Safe & Sound Visitation, located in downtown Kent, is one of Covington’s newly funded human service providers. The city contracts with them to provide supervised visitation and safe exchanges for families referred to the program due to domestic violence between parents. The annual funding for this program is $1,000.

The program procedures and protocols are designed to meet the unique safety needs of adult and child survivors of domestic violence while decreasing further opportunities for abuse. The program offers one-on-one supervised visitations that occur on-site in their secure facility. Monitors are trained to intervene in and document any behaviors that pose a potential threat to the protected parent or child.

Safe & Sound Visitation remains

the only program in this region that is specifi cally focused on safety for both adults and children who are trying to achieve lives that are free from abuse. Since opening in January 2005, the program has provided visitation and exchanges to over 400 families without serious incident. In 2012, Safe & Sound Visitation projects to serve a total of 390 families in South King County, including 11 families from Covington.

Originally funded by the Offi ce on Violence Against Women, the center was one of four national demonstration sites and soon became a model for many new sites. Two years ago, faced with imminent closure, the South King County community rallied to raise signifi cant donations to keep the program running until it was re-established under Sound Mental Health in 2010. In order to receive grant funding, cities require that each agency set performance measure goals as well as an outcome report submitted to the human services staff. The Human Services Commission reviews quarterly reports in order to monitor these goals. In addition, they conducted a site visit to the facility to view fi rst-hand how the visitations are handled.

HARD HITS How the Kent and Tahoma school districts provide concussion care to student-athletes on the fi eld of play as well as off

Dr. Jason Brayley checks out former Kentlake football player on the sidelines after a hard hit during the 2011 season. JAMES KIELLAND, Kent Photo Survey

Editor’s note: Th is is the fi rst of a two-part series on concussions in high school athletics. Th is part focuses on concussion protocol, prevention, safety, diagnosis and awareness. Th e second part will focus on the stories of student-athletes who have suff ered concussions and how the injury aff ected their lives.

BY KRIS HILL

[email protected]

A concussion can be a decep-tive injury.

Aft er a hard hit, an athlete can seem fi ne, but hours or as much as days later he can be walking around in a fog, dazed, confused, complaining of a headache, nau-sea, and trouble concentrating, just to name a few symptoms.

Football players are likely the fi rst athletes to come to mind but kids who play soccer, basketball, who wrestle or baseball and fastpitch players who collide at a base or home plate are also prone to concussions.

Barry Smith, a certifi ed athletic trainer who teaches sports medi-cine at Kentlake High, said he also sees gymnasts suff er concussions on occasion. He’s also seen two diff erent cross country runners get concussed while skateboard-ing without a helmet.

“One of my favorite examples I use with kids, a cross country runner when I was at Enumclaw, skateboard injury,” Smith said. “Honors student in the fall, D student in the spring. He had a subdural hematoma. Nobody

even knew he had a head injury. It wasn’t until his progress report in the spring semester when he was a diff erent kid. Now we have much better technology and techniques. Most of it is just awareness.”

THE PROTOCOLWhen a student-athlete suff ers

a concussion in the Kent School District, there is a well-developed protocol for diagnosis which has evolved during the past three or four years, according to Dave Lutes, athletic director for the district.

In May 2009 the Zackery Lystedt Law was signed by Gov. Christine Gregoire.

Zackery Lystedt suff ered a se-vere brain injury in October 2006 when he took a hard hit to the head during an eighth grade foot-ball game in Maple Valley then returned to the game and hit his head again on the last play mak-ing a touchdown-saving tackle.

Aft er the game, Lystedt, then 13, collapsed. He spent months in a coma and didn’t speak again for nine months. It took him years to learn how to walk again, how to function. Since then, he has become a passionate advocate for concussion safety, prevention and awareness so no one has to go through what he did.

As a result of the law — nearly 40 states around the country have similar laws in place now — concussion protocol for youth athletics has changed.

“Part of the Zackery Lystedt Law is training which is required annually for coaches, parents

and athletes,” Lutes said. “We had to put in some procedures and protocols so there is good aware-ness of what a concussion looks like, how to diagnose it and how to treat it.”

Athletic registration procedures now include concussion informa-tion such as pamphlets from the Center for Disease Control which can be found here: http://www.cdc.gov/concussion/HeadsUp/youth.html.

Lutes said the district has negotiated a contract with Apple Physical Th erapy so there is a cer-tifi ed athletic trainer who special-izes in concussion diagnosis and treatment covering sports where there is enough physical contact that athletes have an increased likelihood of concussions.

In addition, there is a sports medicine specialist at every varsity football, Dr. Jason Brayley from MultiCare. Th ere is also dedicated EMT service at varsity football games in case an athlete needs to be taken to the hospital straight from the fi eld.

“We’ve also changed some poli-cies,” Lutes said. “We’ve changed the return to play policy where (previously) a doctor had to provide a note for return to play. We’ve now separated it from a common injury. Th ere’s a fi ve-step protocol.”

Th at fi ve-step return to play clearance process is off ered by Apple Physical Th erapy at no cost to students, Lutes said. Once a student has completed that pro-cess then a doctor can sign off on return to play.

Caitlin Gallup, a certifi ed

athletic trainer who works at the Kent offi ce for APT, said the main goal in the partnership with KSD is provide emergency coverage at varsity, JV and freshman football games as well as home games for varsity volleyball and soccer.

“We’re on the sidelines and keep an eye out for kids who are displaying signs of concussions, especially in football aft er a hard hit, we want to make sure they’re OK before they go back in,” Gal-lup said. “A lot of it, too, is just education, coach education and parent education. Th ere’s still a lot of education with athletes. And it doesn’t have to be a blow to the

head, it can be a blow to the body that makes your neck snap, so it’s just a list of symptoms that they need to look for.”

About half the time, coaches will go to Gallup and tell her a player was hit pretty hard then re-quests an evaluation, other times other athletes will tell her to get a teammate off the fi eld because he’s not right. On occasion a player will ask to be checked out.

Gallup said it’s also important to be proactive on the sidelines and check a kid out aft er a hard hit.

to market the property ef-fectively.”

Among the Planning Commission’s recom-mendations is to split the property into three separate zoning or sections. The first area, approximately five acres abutting state Route 169, would be designated as parks, recreation and open space. This would allow for limited commercial and residential uses. Such a designation, according to the Planning Commission’s report, “provides a buffer-ing of the neighborhoods from the highway.” The second area, which is 13 acres, would be designated as commercial business zoning, which allows retail ventures. This would limit a retailer’s size to no more than 100,000 square feet.

The largest portion which comes in at 36 acres, would be changed to service com-mercial, which would allow for offices, retail, manufac-turing and vocational or educational uses. Under service commercial, the minimum height of a build-ing would be 45 feet and the maximum height allowed 100 feet. Under multiple use, the maximum height allowed is 45 feet. Accord-ing to a memo sent by Community Development Director Ty Peterson to the City Council, the Planning Commission decided to recommend allowing for building heights up to 100 feet after also agreeing for certain conditions to be met. Some of those condi-tions include requiring the structure to be on a site 10 acres or larger and increas-ing the landscape buffer

requirements based on the additional height above 35 feet. Transpo Group performed a traffic analysis and concluded that traffic volumes would not likely change and that Level of Service (LOS) would essen-tially remain the same, ac-cording to Peterson’s memo. Despite the fact that there is currently no develop-ment proposal of as yet, the possibility of 100-foot-tall buildings near their homes drew a crowd of residents of neighborhoods such as Val-ley Meadow at the Aug. 26 meeting. During the public comment section, many voiced either criticism of the proposal or concerns about how it would affect the area.

“I moved out in Maple Valley because of its beauty,” Rosa Allison said. “It does have a certain kind

of charm. I’m not opposed to the city wanting to build as long as it’s done in a way that makes sense. We want to participate in creating a vision for Maple Valley instead of being told what your vision is. Please help us in protecting what we have.”

Others, such as Julie Benger, a Maple Valley resident of 21 years, said development is necessary in order to bring in tax revenue that can support the population.

“That community requires services the tax revenue to support those services,” Benger said. “I also want to let everybody know of my experience with Bob and Cheryl (Cast-agna). I just want every-body to realize his vision is that, it’s not an attempt to blow smoke. There’s no

agenda. I want everybody really to take this into con-sideration when having this discussion.”

Dana Parnello, a former council member, said although the property is currently owned by the Brandt family, that will probably change when the property is developed. He, among others who spoke, said the city should put in a greenbelt buffer between the development and neigh-borhoods. He also cited the Fred Meyer, which opened in the spring, as an example of why such ordinances were needed.

“What we’re talking about is this … the develop-er has to maximize their re-turn,” Parnello said. “That’s what they have to do. That’s what they should do. Whatever you put in place they are going to find the

best return on their invest-ment. We worked so hard to make sure the conditions were right so that when a Fred Meyer complex came in it would be beautiful and something we could be proud and a legacy we could feel good about. The developer did what exactly what they could do given the restrictions we put into place. I’m proud we have a certified Fred Meyer. It still borders on looking like Anytown, USA — that’s not my proudest moment.”

Mary Sanchez, who said she commutes between Maple Valley and Tacoma, received applause when she told the Planning Com-mission allowing 100 foot buildings could cause the city to lose its rural quality.

Bauer originally submit-ted an application for a business license in April, which the city rejected at that time.

According to a letter dated May 3 addressed to Bauer from Assistant City Administrator Brenda Mar-

tinez, parts of the business description Bauer provided in the original application was not considered lawful activity.

“Although state law pro-vides an affirmative defense against certain prosecutions for violation of state law and city code, the Washing-ton State Supreme Court has made it clear that the presence of an affirmative defense does not negate

any elements of the charged crime,” Martinez wrote in the letter.

Martinez wrote other aspects of the business descrip-tion were legal and could be approved if the unlawful ac-tivities were removed from the description.

According to Commu-nity Development Direc-tor Steve Pilcher, another

application was submitted describing the business as “holistic therapy and

massage, management company for han-dling finances and assets of disabled persons.” The sec-

ond application was accepted.

Pilcher told the Reporter in July the city uses its busi-ness license process to regulate collective gardens in

lieu of zoning regulations. He also said a business cannot receive a license from the city if any of its activities conflict with any law, state or federal.

Pilcher said he was not aware the business had opened until the Reporter had inquired about it. He said they are currently inves-tigating the matter.

“Right at this point we’re looking into it and decid-ing ‘Where do we go from

here?” he said. “We made it clear we can’t issue a business license that had to do with medical marijuana...At this point, when they asked for this business license it was for something that was legal to our code. We issue what state and federal law would also allow.”

Black Diamond mayor’s actions an abuse of power

I’m shocked and disgusted aft er listening to the audio recording of the August Community Forum in Black Diamond.

I had been told the mayor won’t let the police hold a fundraiser at the Eagles hall because the Eagles have rented to Save Black Diamond in the past. From the recording, it’s clear the mayor’s shocking infringement by government on free-dom is true.

In the recording, City Council member Tamie Deady states that the mayor told her that the Eagles is not being used because Save Black Diamond has had meetings there.

Th e Eagles, of course, neither endorse nor censor the free speech of those who rent the facility.

Th e mayor quickly states the venue was a problem and then spends much time trying to distract from the issue by talking at length about how they tried to make the event work at the Community Center. Th e police chief and director of the community center met with the mayor and all spent time and eff ort to try to fi gure out if the K-9 fundraiser could be held at an alternate venue. It’s clear that there was a desire to hold the event, and not just a decision that it was unnecessary.

Th e Eagles Hall is the venue that was used for the past fi ve years for this event. However the venue “issue” is that the mayor does not like something that someone said who rented the Eagles in the past.

Next, the recording indicates they moved on to fi guring out how they could make up for the funding shortfall in other ways. Th e police did not want to fi nd other funding sources or re-arrange plans, when a working plan was staring them in the face.

Th e recorded discussion went on to indicate that there is another local business that was used for a separate fundraiser for the police - perhaps that would bring in enough money to make up the shortfall. Apparently this venue meets the mayor’s approval.

I am hopeful that citizens will go out and become a member of the Black Diamond Eagles and to show support for which venue you ap-prove of.

If you visit other businesses in Black Dia-mond, or talk to city council, or talk to the may-or, tell them you support Save Black Diamond and the Eagle’s right to do and say as they please without reprisal from the government!

Warn them how the mayor will abuse the power entrusted in her with our tax dollars by having city staff make it diffi cult on those she does not agree with.

Ask if they feel it is right for any organization to back down when faced with this kind of pres-sure, and thus encourage this kind of behavior to happen more. Ask how they would feel if on the receiving end?

Simply put, the facts are clear. Th e mayor may try to distract from it and talk about how the fundraiser was unnecessary. But the truth is that

the issues now are freedom and abuse of power.

Kristen BryantBellevue

Correcting misunderstanding about the K-9 fundraiser

Th ere seems to be a misunderstanding about an upcoming fundraising event to benefi t the Black Diamond Police K-9 Unit.

First of all, neither the city nor the Black Diamond Police Department is planning to have a fundraising event this year for a number of reasons.

We are very fortunate to have dog food, grooming and veterinary services donated. Th e canine program has also been the recipient of grant money in the past. Th e only costs that may occur are those for training or for some unfore-seen circumstance. Th ere was a very successful fundraiser last year and we have spent less than half of the money raised at that time.

Last month Police Chief Kiblinger and I met with Cheryl Hanson, Executive Director of the Black Diamond Community Center. Th e Community Center has been instrumental in the past for organizing and working at the K-9

Fundraiser. Because the Community Center was focused on National Night Out, a Back to School event and their upcoming Din-ner Auction, Cheryl felt they did not have the time or the staff to participate in a K-9

fundraiser. Th e Police Department was very busy this

summer promoting Chief for a Day on Aug. 16 and decided that instead of asking for donations for two diff erent events it made sense to alternate fundraisers each year.

Most importantly, this joint decision to postpone any K-9 fundraiser to 2013 was based on the fact that we currently do not need any money for this program.

Unfortunately, the situation became more confused because a K-9 fundraising event was somehow placed on the Eagles calendar without the knowledge of the city or the Police Depart-ment.

We recently became aware that “Save Black Diamond” is planning a fundraiser to benefi t the Black Diamond Police K-9 Unit on September 15th. Over the past few weeks, we have in-formed several people that, for the reasons stated above, the city does not need or intend to have a fundraiser this year.

As mayor, I do not support one and the K-9 Unit will not participate. Further, because “Save Black Diamond” has openly stated that they support the legal appeals fi led against the city and YarrowBay, I am concerned that accepting any money from this organization will create the perception that the city supports the views and activities of this organization regarding the cur-rent land use and development approvals.

In talking to several of the local businesses listed as donating raffl e items, it is apparent that they were unaware that they were contributing to a “Save Black Diamond” event. We are truly sorry for this and want all of these businesses to know that the Police Department and the city are not involved with the event in any way.

Hopefully these facts will dispel some of the rumors that are circulating in the community. I have always been supportive of the K-9 program and would never do anything to jeopardize it.

Rebecca Olness, mayor Black Diamond

Court decision not the end, stay informed and involved

No regrets.As a citizen who has challenged the massive

size of the Yarrow Bay development and their impending environmental and fi nancial burden to the community, I have seen a few snarky comments and jeers regarding the recent court ruling. I don’t understand why one would stand and cheer the ruling.

Either they’re clueless about what it means to them or, they’re in favor of not having their voices heard anymore.

Th e paper printed a message from Mayor Ol-ness that the court had “affi rmed that the city did the right thing.”

Let’s be perfectly clear, the court did not rule that the previous City Council’s decision to approve 6,050 units of housing and a million sq ft of commercial was the “right thing” for the community.

It ruled that deference must be given to the previous council decision and that the citizens did not meet the substantial burden of overturn-ing that council decision. Th ere is a big diff er-ence between these two statements.

Any worthwhile and serious citizen action is likely to have opposition, from the very govern-ment that represents them; and certainly from those in the community and government with personal, and fi nancial gain.

One of the most important lessons regarding this process is how important it is that those who are elected to offi ce must represent the majority of the people’s views; not the views of a few or powerful.

Government, acting alone, rarely fi xes any serious problem satisfactorily. Only the citizens can truly repair the problems that allowed this type of approval to take place unchecked.

Th at has started, fi rst with the 2011 election and next with the change in form of government.

Unfortunately we live in a culture that looks down at those that show they care about their neighbor and community.

Many of the people I know are not politically driven (this is diff erent than working to change a broken or corrupt political system); most of the people I have met along the way are just trying to help their community.

It takes energy to act, but it is more exhausting and disheartening to just complain or to sit back and let yourself believe that you are powerless to improve and make better what is clearly broken and wrong.

Although I am disappointed with the court’s decision, the hill was steep.

With that said there was substantial strategy involved in the court briefs in regards to improv-ing future preliminary plats within the MPDs now and in the future.

So I have no regrets of passionately commit-ting to help better a community and environ-ment that I love.

Mahatma Gandhi said, “It’s the action, not the fruit of the action, that’s important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there’ll be any fruit. But that doesn’t mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.” Much more is still to be done; the change of government; citizen advisory groups and public hearings on the upcoming preliminary plats.

Stay informed, be knowledgeable and stay active.

THYROID ISSUESThe thyroid is often referred to as the great regulator of

the body and mind. It produces hormones that control the speed of metabolism, the way that the body uses energy. A problem with the thyroid can slow or speed up the body’s metabolism, which can result in a range of symptoms including brain fog, weight gain, chills, and hair loss. Symptoms of a malfunctioning thyroid can swing to the other side as well, leaving people too excited, sweaty, and anxious. Treatment of thyroid problems is important to keep sufferers feeling their best and avoiding any long-term or serious health issues. Thyroid hormones can affect every organ in the body, including changing a normal heart’s rhythm. After age 35, everyone should be screened for thyroid issues approximately every five years.

Ultimately, the type of doctor you choose for your thyroid care depends on a number of factors, including the nature of your condition, what you can afford, your location, and availability of physicians in your area, among other considerations.

To schedule an appointment, please call Southlake Clinic at (253) 395-1972. Our primary care providers are part of a multi-specialty physician network and are also available on Saturdays. We have a clinic in Covington at 27005 168th Place SE.

The month of Septem-ber offers some of the best weather of the year for outdoor living. Don’t stop watering and feeding your container gardens now — you still have six weeks of frost free weather to enjoy your summer plants.

This is a good week to harvest extra fruits and vegetables and bring them to your local food bank. To really be a hero, wash and clean any produce and present it in smaller containers ready to go home with your neigh-bors in need.

Q. My question is about spiders. I am finding them inside my new house and also all around the patio and deck. They are making webs on my front porch as well. I hate spiders. What is the best spray to use to

get rid of them? I am a first time homeowner and need to know the timing of when to spray pesticides to keep all bugs away. R.T., Tacoma

A. My sympathies for your spidery fears but you’ve fallen into a web of deceit and misin-formation.

Most spiders in our area are harmless and actually good for the garden. You are seeing a lot of spiders and webs this month because it is nearing autumn.

The best way to handle them building webs outside your house and on the porch is with a broom. Poke the broom into the web so that the spider grabs hold along with the webbing. Then brush him off onto the grass or garden.

If you use a broom you

won’t need to worry about pesticide residue, allergy to the chemicals used in pes-ticides and destroying the natural balance of insects on your property.

You can even paint a broom black and use it as part of your Halloween decorations - which could also include some natural spider webs. Hang in there — when winter arrives the spider “problem” will go dormant.

Q. I have a really cool plant with strappy leaves and a narrow, bottle shaped bloom made from many tiny flowers. I have emailed you a photo. What is this weird plant and will it come back next year? J. Email

A. Congratulations, you are the owner of a Eucomis or Pineapple lily. This half-hearty bulb from South America looks like the top of a pineapple in bloom but is not related to the fruit.

The bulb will flower each August and the bloom will last for months, even as a cut flower.

It needs well drained soil to survive our wet winters and a mulch or one inch layer of bark chips on top of the soil to protect it from the cold. You can also grow Eucomis bulbs in pots.

September is a good month to plant these bulbs in your garden for blooms next year or you can save and plant the bulbs in the spring. Look for the bulbs or plants in bloom now at local nurseries and garden centers. Five years ago when I planted my first Eu-comis they were considered rare and unusual, but now I see them for sale at many local nurseries. I am happy to say my own Eucomis are still alive and blooming after five cold winters in Enumclaw.

Q. Should I renew and reseed my lawn now or

wait until spring? I have mole holes, mice tunnels, moss and weeds. Also my lawn is turning brown. L.R. Buckley

A. I vote to go after the gold and spend some green this month to renovate the lawn. You must improve your soil if you want a lawn that will stay green all sum-mer and grow thick enough to crowd out the weeds and moss.

Aerate, fertilize, lime, then add topsoil on top of the old lawn to level it out. Finally, after all this work you can reseed with a blend of improved, patented grass seed varieties especially chosen for our climate. Look for grass seed that says “Northwest blend” and avoid the less expensive grass seeds labeled “play ground mix.“

If all this sounds like too much work, you can hire a professional to aerate and top-dress your lawn with

new soil. Then spread the fertilizer and lawn seed yourself right on top of the new soil. Your old lawn will push up through the new soil to help protect the seeds and you’ll have whole new lawn by spring. Moles, voles and mice are best controlled with traps.Marianne Binetti has a degree in horticulture from Washington State University and is the author of “Easy Answers for Great Gardens” and several other books.

Hunter Women’s Health Care

not be for everyone.”Destro said he was the

first one in his family to go to college and he felt that it was important for all of his children to pursue a four-year degree, as well.

But, he said there were two things that were eye-opening for him. First, a four-year psychology degree comes with a six-figure debt load for a recent graduate while a starting salary is less than $30,00 a year. And while money isn’t

the most important thing, Destro noted, it figures into the decision when consid-ering what the most viable career option is for a high school senior.

“So, we came up with the concept of getting children future-ready,” Destro said. “Part of it, too, is making the students aware. What does it look like on the oth-er side. Let’s get the degree where the demand is and the demand has shifted.”

For example, Destro said, officials from The Boeing Co. told the committee

there are openings and not enough qualified people to fill them. That is a viable option so the question is how can the district help guide kids whose inter-ests and skills match the demand for jobs at Boeing. Fox said the district wants to do more to help kids be prepared for life after graduation.

“We can’t afford, the nation can’t afford, kids in their 20s who don’t know what to do with their lives,” she said. “We want you to have a really solid, viable

plan for what your future is going to look like and you want to know why you made that plan.”

This realization that in order to best prepare teens for life after high school staff had to know where those students were going was what drove the start of the process that has developed into this shift of mind-set.

“Future ready is almost eyes wide open into the fu-ture, know what the world’s landscape looks like … so that families know what’s

best for their students,” Fox said. “One of the things our staff has done, it has really examined what structures are in place in school. One thought is how do we cel-ebrate graduates? How are we celebrating with equal air time, with equal power kids who choose multiple pathways.”

She cited an example of a student who was recog-nized at the senior awards ceremony in May for his progress into a career as a welder. Fox said she heard one of the top students in the class who was planning to attend a top tier univer-sity say under his breath, “That’s cool.”

“We want to move to a system where we recog-nize that there are a lot of pathways to life and you need to choose a pathway that fits for you,” Fox said. “What’s the first thing we ask high school seniors in the spring? ‘Where are you going to college?’ The fun-damental shift is (asking), ‘What’s next for you and why did you choose that?’”

While the shift in think-ing has begun at the district and among the members of the committee, Destro said the change in mind-set needs to happen more broadly.

“It’s a community effort that’s going to be required

to help our kids, our stu-dents achieve their life-long goals,” Destro said. “Too often I think we’ve sloughed it off to the school system, we’ve sloughed it off to someone else. This is not merely a high school thing. Introduce sooner rather than later the concepts of thinking about the long term goals of what you want to achieve.”

Destro said he hopes the district brings students into the process of creating this shift in mindset as this is only the phase one of mov-ing from a college-ready approach to a future ready approach. The committee made its presentation to the school board at its Aug. 28 meeting.

“I shared the parental perspective, each of us shared a different perspec-tive,” Destro said. “They listened very carefully, then at the end, one by one they made their comments. Most of it was really com-mendatory. They said this is the kind information that (they) really need. It dove-tailed with other concepts they’re looking at. It looks like there’s a bigger picture out there and this is a piece of the puzzle to address larger needs.”

A peace vigil will be held at 9 a.m. on Sept 21 at St. George Episcopal Church for International Day of Peace.

The public is invited to meditate and pray for peace around the world.

In 1981 the United Nations General Assembly voted that each year the International Day of Peace would be observed around the world on Sept. 21. The United Nations has declared this as a day devoted to strengthen-ing the ideal both within and among all nations and its people. The un-settled situations in the mid-eastern countries today need attention by the world population.

Artists will be available during the day to draw their illustrations of Peace in the world.

Awards will be given for the best art design and peace description. Art judging will start at 6 p.m. At 7 p.m. there will be a gathering at the Laby-rinth (behind the church buildings) and host a candlelight song fest of Peace songs led by Vicar Bonnie Ma-lone, music director Charlotte Dike, members of the St. George Choir and musicians, Bri and Lauren.

This event is free to the public.

Most concussion symptoms show up within 48 hours, Gallup said, but it varies from kid to kid.

“The first thing that we do when they come in and have a concussion, we have a whole packet of information flyers for the parents,” Gallup said. “We say, once they are symptom free, then we have them com back to the clinic.”

From there is a 20-minute stress test. If any symptoms come up while an athlete is doing the stress test on a stationary bicycle then they should stop. The athlete goes through a symptom check list before and after the ride to make sure nothing has changed.

That’s the first day of the five-day return to play protocol.

On the second day, Gallup explained, an athlete comes back and does a more intense test typically mimicking drills he would go through in practice. The same before and after symptom check list is used.

Once the athlete passes that, he can return to practice, however it would be no pads, no live drills no contact in football and in soccer no live drills, no heading.

After that, Gallup said, if he feels fine then the athlete can return to full practice. If after that he still feels fine then an athlete can be cleared for practice.

Still, there is a balance test that needs to be cleared in order to return to competi-tion.

Sometimes students will try and fake their way through the tests, or, they feel fine but aren’t totally healed yet.

“We see that all the time, that’s where establishing the relationships with coaches and students is really important,” Gallup said. “That’s why those standardized tests are really important. If you can’t stand up and balance with your eyes closed, I know you’re still having some issues.”

Smith teaches his students, who come from Kentlake and Kentwood, a unit on head injuries where all kids learn about concussions by going through the same tests trainers run athletes through on the sidelines as well as after a getting con-cussed.

This fall, Smith has baseline tested all of the football players and when he spoke to the Reporter Aug. 31 he had nearly finished baseline testing all of the girls soc-cer players.

There is a neurocogni-tive impact test athletes can do at the start of practices to provide a baseline then there is a pencil-and-paper sideline test that is nearly identical to what trainers use in the NFL and MLS.

None of the tests stand alone, Smith said, they all come together to provide a complete picture of a student’s cognitive func-tioning before and after suffering a concussion in order to ensure an athlete has fully recovered prior to returning to competition.

At Kentlake, Smith said, serious return to play protocol began in 2005 while he began working with Dr. Brayley in 2008 on the computer-based ImPACT cognitive func-tion test, which I would not recommend doing on an empty stomach and six hours of sleep.

I took the test Aug. 30 under those circumstances and can tell you my cogni-tive functioning was not good at that point. At least that’s what Smith told Brayley on the sidelines prior to the Kentlake-Thomas

Jefferson football game at French Field that night.

Still, if a student has a concussion, there’s no faking it on that test which does a pretty thorough check on how the brain is working by testing ability to recall words, designs and patterns among other things.

Lutes is pleased with the partnership with APT and Dr. Brayley as well as what Smith is doing at Kentlake.

“I think we have a very comprehensive and very good concussion management program,” Lutes said. “I want to keep following the national trends on new informa-tion that comes out. We have a program that is full circle right now. We work with the prevention side of it, the diagnosis and intervention side of it, we work with rehabili-tation side of it and the return to play side of it which we are strict about. We can always get better but I think we’ve got the components in place.”

ON THE SIDELINESBrayley moved the Seattle area after

serving in the military and the timing was perfect for him to connect with the Kent School District, first with Smith at Kentlake, then more broadly as the district developed its concussion management protocol.

“The timing was just right,” Brayley said. “I had really developed an interest in sports concussions. With that came this evolu-tion regarding concussions. There’s been a lot of concerning research that has come

out. If we’re not careful we may be finding information that we should’ve done things differently in the past.”

Brayley covers all the home football games at French Field to help with any injuries that may happen during contests whether they are muscular-skeletal or head injuries.

“This is something I do on a voluntary basis,” he said. “I do it as part of my sports medicine outreach for the community.”

He spends part of his time in practice at the Covington MultiCare.

When athletes are injured during games, depending on the severity of symptoms on the sidelines, Brayley said he works with the trainers and the parents of students to ensure follow up care.

“Treatment is a difficult word,” Brayley said. “These kinds of injuries are not like a broken wrist which, if it doesn’t require surgery, you put it in a cast for six weeks. With concussions, treatment really starts with recognition, starting with observation, clinical evaluation, then you’re being very stringent with physical and mental rest.”

From the perspective of Aaron Radford, who coaches boys and girls soccer at Kent-wood High, wrote in an email that concus-sions have always been a topic of concern but it has been more frequently discussed in the past three years.

“I truly appreciate the new laws about concussions and returning to play,” Rad-ford wrote. “It makes the decision for the coaches much easier to deal with. If we suspect there is a concussion, then the player is out and they must get checked by a licensed health profession that is certified in concussion management.”

Radford added that he believes every coach is more aware of concussions and how to handle them from the sidelines dur-

HARD HITS

A concussion is an injury that changes how the cells in the brain normally work. A concussion is caused by a blow to the head or the body that causes the brain to move rapidly inside the skull. Even a “ding,” “getting your bell rung,” or what seems to be a mild bump or blow to the head can be serious. Concussions can also result from a fall or from players colliding with each other or with obstacles, such as a goalpost.

The potential for concussions is greatest in athletic environments where collisions are common. Concussions can occur in any organized sport or recreational activity. As many as 3.8 million sports- and recreation-related concussions occur in the United States each year.

ing practice or play which has improved player safety dramatically.

“No coach wants to pull a player out of games without knowing for sure if there is something wrong, but we no longer get to — or have to — make those tough decisions. It is clear cut, the players need to be out until we are sure everything is safe. It is in the best interest of the players.”

Brayley said that the most important message regarding concussion management is a safe return to play plan. He explains to parents that he didn’t develop the guidelines, nor did his employer, but rather a group of experts from around the globe who developed them and update them regularly.

There was a time when student-athletes returned to play too soon, when there wasn’t widespread agree-ment at the youth level on how to help kids heal, but now everyone is on the same page.

“If your child truly has a concussion, it’s not as easy as going in and getting a clearance note,” Brayley said. “It’s a slow and gradu-ate process when followed correctly, when the current international consensus guidelines are followed.”

CLOSE TO HOMEThe Lystedt Law is

particularly close to home for student-athletes in the Tahoma School District.

Lystedt was injured playing for Tahoma Junior High.

Tony Davis, the district’s athletic director and long-time football coach at the high school, said the district has followed the provisions laid out in the Lystedt Law in much the same way as the Kent School District.

It’s not an easy subject for Davis, who has coached the Bears high school football team for nearly 20 years now, to talk about.

But, it’s important. When an athlete has a head injury, he comes off the field and does not return to play until he has followed the proto-col laid out by the Lystedt

Law, Davis said. “If we have a head injury,

then we shut it down,” Da-vis said. “We’ve taken very similar steps not specifically because of head injuries, overall to help our kids stay safe. What the Lystedt Law has done it taken the gray area out of it for coaches and school districts.”

In the Tahoma School District, every student who plays sports from seventh through 12th grade has to sign the athletic handbook which has general concus-sion information, which helps bring a level of aware-ness to families and gives them a quick reference to a list of signs of concussions.

This season, like players in the Kent School District, the Tahoma football squad went through the ImPACT cognitive functioning test early on in practices which provides baseline data. That was done with Brayley dur-ing two-a-day practices.

“That’s new for us,” Davis said. “We’ll see how it goes. I hope it’s something I hope we can continue. It’s inter-esting to see how that data is used. It’s an education for all of us. You’ve got to rely on your experts and that’s the approach we’ve taken.”

Davis said he has noticed a shift in football culture not just locally but nation-ally.

“One of the things that we do a good job of, and I think it’s important for all coaches, there’s an element of masculinity, of bravado in football … we want them to be comfortable telling us (if they’re hurt),” Davis said. “We’d rather have you sit out for a day or two days or the whole season if that’s what it means to keep you safe. For us, that’s always been the approach we’ve taken. The challenge is get-ting kids comfortable with that. There’s a relationship element to that.”

An example Davis gave about the shift in culture was during practice this season, a day after the kids were wearing pads during training, one of the players woke up with a headache. He didn’t want to say anything to the coaching staff but his friends, Davis said, were concerned and

approached the coaches.“I’m glad we have that

kind of culture,” Davis said. “It’s pretty cool that kids are looking out for each other, as well.”

A MOTHER’S WARNINGLittle more than a year

ago, Andrea watched her then 12-year-old son col-lide with another player in a play at a base during a baseball game in a youth athletic league.

Initially her family was told her son was fine and they could take him home but by the time they arrived the boy was showing seri-ous signs of a concussion. He was rushed to the hos-pital, where he was induced into a coma and treated to reduce the swelling in the brain.

Andrea, whose name has been changed to protect the privacy of her son, said it was a scary experience and

there were times they didn’t know what to expect.

Then her son woke up.“We were very fortunate,

he didn’t have any brain damage,” she said. “The first thing he said was, ‘Did we win?’ He asked the doctors if they could move so he could watch the Mariners game. We knew mentally he was there.”

Still, it hasn’t been an easy road back for the boy, Andrea said. He will never get to play sports again. He has to be careful — he suffered a skull fracture in the collision — when doing strenuous activity. There are things he still can’t do.

Andrea said it’s vital that parents call 911 for help if they are at an athletic event where medical coverage isn’t provided if they sus-pect their child has suffered a concussion.

“You have to be an advocate for your child. You

have to be adamant,” she said. “Even though it might be OK in the the moment, you really have to know your child and see what’s changed.”

She knew before they left the field her son wasn’t feel-ing right. He was nauseous in the car. He said, though Andrea described him as quite competitive, that he should not continue play-ing.

Andrea encourages par-ents of athletes, especially those who are not in high school, to learn about the signs of concussions.

“That’s the key, educating parents,” she said.

Brayley said the delayed onset of symptoms can cause concern and confu-sion for parents.

“There’s a misconcep-tion that you will see every last symptom right away or shortly thereafter,” the doctor said. “What any

parent should be looking for is a distinct and rapid change in what is normal for their child. Even if they get checked out by their doctor once, if something isn’t right, get them checked again.”

Next week the second part will feature the stories of athletes who have suf-fered concussions, how they recovered from them and how it affected their lives on and off the field or court.

SPSL FOOTBALL WEEK ONETAHOMA TROUNCES K-M

With four minutes and 13 seconds left in the first quarter, Kent-Meridian had a 7-6 lead over Tahoma after junior quarterback Quincy Carter ran the ball 83 yards for a touchdown.

Then Tahoma quarterback Shane Nelson threw a 36-yard rainbow touchdown pass to Harold Thordarson to go up 14-7 thanks to a 2-point conversion, and the Bears didn’t look

back thumping the Royals 52-21 Aug. 30 at French Field.

Damon Funk scored a pair of touch-downs in the second quarter for Tahoma while Bears wide receiver Kevin Clark added a third score in the period when he hauled in a Nelson pass which bounced out of the hands of a K-M defender then took it down the sideline 45 yards for the score.

File No. PLN11-0002Description of current proposal: The Villages MPD Phase 1A Preliminary Plat, a subdivision of 127.3 acres into 413 lots, consistent with the approved Villages Master Planned Development and the Villages MPD Development Agreement. The project will feature 393 residential lots, a 12.5 acre elementary school site (two lots) and 18 lots totaling 14.28 acres for commercial/mixed use. Ap- prox. 22.48 acres of open space will be set aside in parks, trails and landscape tracts. Proponent: BD Village Partners, LP Location of current proposal: The site is located on the south side of SE Auburn-Black Di-

amond Road, extending west of its intersection with Lake Sawyer Road SE to the western city lim- its and generally ½ mile to the south. Lead agency: City of Black DiamondAdoption of Existing Environmental Document: Title of document being adopted: The Villages Master Planned Development Final En- vironmental Impact Statement (FEIS)Agency that prepared document being adopted: City of Black DiamondDate adopted document was prepared: December 11, 2009Description of document being adopted: FEIS for a 1,196 acre mixed use development including 4800 dwelling units; 775,000 sq. ft. of retail, office and light industrial uses; and educational, recreational,and open space uses. If the document being adopted has been challenged (WAC 197-11-630), please describe:The FEIS is the subject of a pending appeal:

Toward Responsible Develop- ment, et al., v. City of Black Diamond, King County Superi- or Court Cause No. 10-2-35957-5 KNT.

The document is available to be read at (place/time): City of Black Diamond Community Development Department, 24301 Roberts Drive, Black Diamond, M-F, 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM. We have identified and adopted this document as being appropri- ate for this proposal after independent review. The document meets our environmental review needs for the current proposal and will accompany the proposal to the decision-maker.Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance: After review of the FEIS adopted above, the completed environmental check- list, The Villages MPD Phase 1A Preliminary Plat application and related materials, the lead agency has determined the proposal will not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environ- ment if the mitigation measures set forth below are implemented. Therefore, neither a new environmental impact statement (EIS) or a supplemental environmental impact statement (SEIS) is required under RCW 43.21C.030 (2)(c) or WAC 197-11-600. This MDNS is issued under WAC 197-11-350; the lead agency will not act on this proposal for 14 days from the date below. Comments must be submitted by September 21, 2012. Mitigation measures include those required by applicable provisions of the Black Diamond Municipal Code, conditions of the MPD permit approval in Ordinance No. 10-946, The Villages MPD Development Agreement approved in Ordi- nance No. 11-970, and as im- posed by this MDNS.

Mitigation measures required by Black Diamond Municipal Code (Exhibit “E” of The Villages MPD Development Agreement): 1. Pursuant to BDMC 19.10.220. D, wetland buffer boundaries adjacent to land within this plat shall be permanently delineated by split-rail fencing and identifi- cation signs, as approved by the City. 2. The proponent shall submit a wetland buffer vegetation management plan prepared in accor- dance with BDMC 19.10.230.F for review and approval prior to the issuance of any site development permits for lands adjacent to wetland buffers. Mitigation measures required by Ordinance 10-946 (The Villages MPD approval): 1. Prior to final plat approval of any division within the Phase 1A Preliminary Plat, the proponent shall re-channelize the south leg of the intersection of SE 288th St. and 216th Ave. SE to provide a refuge/merge area for west- bound left-turning vehicles. 2. Stationary construction equipment shall be located distant from sensitive receiving properties wherever possible. Where this is infeasible, or where noise impacts would still be likely to occur, portable noise barriers shall be placed around the equipment (pumps, compressors, welding machines, etc.), with the opening directed away from sensitive receiving properties. 3. All equipment required to use backup alarms shall utilize ambi- ent-sensing alarms that broadcast a warning sound loud enough to be heard over background noise, but without having to use a pre- set, maximum volume. Alterna- tively, use broadband backup alarms instead of typical pure tone alarms. 4. Operators shall be required to lift, rather than drag materials wherever feasible. 5. Electric pumps shall be used whenever pumps are required. 6. The proponent shall establish a noise control “hotline” to allow neighbors affected by noise to contact both the City and the construction contractor to ask questions or to complain about violations of the noise reduction program per Condition of Approval No. 41 of The Villages MPD permit. 7. The proponent shall provide construction noise attenuation for existing residents adjoining development parcels Villages V10, V13 and V15 as set forth in Condition of Approval No. 44 of The Villages MPD permit. Mitigation measures required by Ordinance 11-970 (The Villages MPD Development Agreement): 1. Work hours of operation shall be limited to 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. on weekdays, 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, and shall be prohibited on Sundays and

City holidays, subject to emergency construction and repair needs as set forth in BDMC 8.12.040.C. Other mitigation measures: 1. Wetlands and all required wetland buffers shall be defined as separate tracts in the final plat (BDMC 19.10.150.B). These tracts shall be as shown on the proposed preliminary plat draw- ings, except as may be modified pursuant to BDMC 19.10.230 prior to final plat approval. 2. Prior to issuance of certificates of occupancy for the 726 ERU (equivalent residential unit), the proponent shall construct a single-lane roundabout at the re- aligned intersection of Lake Sawyer Rd. SE and SE Auburn- Black Diamond Rd. 3. Prior to issuance of certificates of occupancy for the 327 ERU (equivalent residential unit), the proponent shall install a traffic signal at the intersection of SE Auburn-Black Diamond Rd. and Village Pl. SE (aka Main St.). 4. Prior to the issuance of certificates of occupancy for the 1,128 ERU (equivalent residential unit), the proponent shall construct a single-lane roundabout at the intersection of SE Auburn- Black Diamond Rd. and Villages Parkway SE (aka Community Connector “A”). 5. The proponent shall model and monitor traffic at the midpoint of occupancy of Phase 1A (596 equivalent residential units) and determine what additional requirements may be necessary to comply with the transportation concurrency requirements of the Comprehensive Plan.
