Second medical marijuana collective garden opens BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com
A second medical marijuana collective garden store has opened in Kent. Charles Lambert opened South King Holistic on Jan. 1 on the
West Hill. Lambert previously operated Evergreen Association of Collective Gardens before closing the store along Central Avenue in August after he received a letter from the federal Drug Enforcement Administration threatening to shut him down because the
business sat within 1,000 feet of a school. “I’m not within 1,000 feet of a school, daycare or playground and I’m where my patients are,” Lambert said in a phone interview. Lambert’s new store is at 2824
S. 252nd St., just east of Pacific Highway South. “This is where my patients are,” Lambert said about reopening in Kent. “People have been around here since the beginning. There’s a need for it.” Lambert opened his Central
Avenue store in 2011. The Kent City Council voted 4-3 last June to ban collective gardens because it believes the businesses violate federal law that lists marijuana as an illegal drug [ more STORE page 4 ]

Design work will soon begin on extending South 224th Street over Highway 167 and eventually up the East Hill to Benson Road. The city of Kent has hired a consultant to design and permit part of the 1.8-mile extension of South 224th Street with a bridge over State Highway 167. The City Council approved last month a $232,138 contract with Seattle-based Shearer Design LLC, according to city documents. The project eventually will extend South 224th Street from the East Valley Highway to Benson Road. “This will be another connection up the East Hill

RECYCLE TEAM Boy Scouts collected hundreds of Christmas trees last Saturday, part of a massive recycling effort at Kent’s Service Club Ballfields. Residents also dropped off trees at the site, one of the largest organized collection spots in King County. Travis Straayer of Troop 453, far right, helped unload trees. Bob Brown, upper left, and Brian Green, right, of Kent Parks quickly turned the trees into mulch with a wood chipper. The recycled trees provide a stockpile of chips for the department to mulch new plants and maintain trails. Bill Westcott, a volunteer with the effort, said last year’s drive recycled about 3,000 trees. Organizers hoped to reach that total this year. MARK KLAAS, Kent Reporter

Ronald Moore had not yet had a chance to decorate his office walls on his first day as the new Kent city clerk. But as Moore eyed the bare walls it didn’t take him long to think of something extremely popular to decorate with these days around Seattle, Kent and beyond. “I am a Seahawks fanatic,” Moore
said about the team headed Sunday to Atlanta for an NFL playoff showdown. “I have hats, banners and all kinds of stuff. I am bringing that stuff in to decorate this office.” Moore, 44, a former Shoreline deputy city clerk, started Jan. 7. He succeeded Brenda Jacober who retired last month after 37 years with the city, the last 21 as city clerk. “Mr. Moore’s experience, education and focus on civic engagement [ more CLERK page 4 ]

A
: Well, I go back to my roots, the fact that I built my skills and a great career, supported my family, and created living wage jobs, invested in my community all through being a tradesman and continually honing my skills. At Fox Plumbing and Heating our work force is the best trained in the business. The equipment and technology is constantly changing and new products are always being introduced, so we are continually training our crews. There are many fine people who with the right training and support develop in to fantastic employees with superior skills. When you invest in your employees, you are investing in your customers. Any business owner knows that employee turnover is expensive and that your employees are a reflection of who you are as a business owner. My name and reputation are all over Fox Plumbing and Heating and I believe in personal and corporate integrity‌it’s simply a core value of this company, reflected in our mission statement, staff training and the way we treat our customers.
else sets you apart from other plumband heating companies in the area?� Qing“What A :
: We’re focused on the right things, great service and great work. I’d just like to ask people to make sure to have Fox give them an estimate on their next plumbing or heating job and see in writing one of the differences. We will give you a fair estimate in a timely fashion and we have the best written warranties in the business. Our customer service is so superior to our
competitors that we keep most of our customers for life. 80% of our new customers come from current customer referrals, I’m proud of this and plan to keep doing what works‌caring about people, doing professional work.
heard about your Customer Referhow does it work?� Qral“I’veProgram, A :
: Well I continually review my business, checking the data, always looking at where my customers come from, because of course we want to continue to grow and invest our advertising dollars in programs that expand our customer base. Through this data analysis we could see that 80% of our new customers were coming from our current customers. I wanted to put some energy into a Customer Referral Program both to thank our customers as well as to build business. I also operate on the “keep it simple� philosophy knowing that what people really need and want is cash, not points or some other confusing so-called bonus. So very simply, you refer Fox Plumbing and Heating and you are entered to win $500 cash. We hold the drawings twice a year in March and September and the more you refer your friends, relatives and colleagues, the more chances you have to win. We then take pictures and tell their story on our website, with their permission, both to honor them and to spread the word about Fox Plumbing and Heating.

excellent skills and excellent attitudes. We’ve found them, trained them and are getting great feedback from our customers. It’s very exciting to add this new dimension to our business, heating and air conditioning, and of course the same great 24 hour service.
Q “Do you have any specials?� A :
: Glad you asked and of course we do! We want to introduce as many people as possible to our new heating and air conditioning services so we have a complete HVAC tune up for just $99, this is a limited time offer. No one wants their furnace not to work properly as the days and nights get colder, it’s also a good time to get the air conditioning looked at, we had such a beautiful summer folks used their equipment more this year. The thing we want people to know about Fox Plumbing and Heating is that we’ve been here since 1964 and we’ll be here long into the future because we are committed to helping people save money and delivering great service. We always have solid money saving specials, but what’s really special about Fox is how we do business every day with integrity and professionalism, our customers will tell you.
:
: The expansion into heating, furnaces and air conditioning is a direct result of customer demand, our phones were ringing off the hook with requests, one month last winter we received over 100 calls for HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) services. I wanted to expand in this area, but wouldn’t do it until I had the right team on board. I mean what I say and it took some time to find the right people with

A Bonney Lake man who struck and killed Kent elementary school teacher Stacy Ankerfelt last summer could face more than 10 years in jail. Samuel Cruz pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide and driving while under the influence in court on Jan. 2.
King County prosecutors will recommend that Cruz serve a little more than eight years at his sentencing on Jan. 25, although the judge could sentence Cruz to 8½ to 10½ years in jail. Cruz is charged with hitting Ankerfelt with his 1994 Toyota 4Runner on July 19 as she stood alongside her car in front of her Auburn home. Police reports said 28-year-old
woman was carried by Cruz’s vehicle and then thrown to the ground. She suffered extensive injuries and died a month later at Harborview Medical Center. At the time of the accident, Cruz told police that he takes Suboxone, a prescription drug for opiate dependency. Cruz had no known criminal convictions, but did have a previous

It takes six to 10 ponytails to make one hairpiece, according to the Locks of Love website. The hairpieces go to boys and girls alike, but most of the recipients are girls.

Hospital district to appeal judge’s decision over alliance BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
Public Hospital District No. 1 will appeal to the Washington Supreme Court a decision by a King County Superior Court judge dismissing its challenge of the strategic alliance with UW Medicine. The vote at Monday’s hospital district commission was 3-2, with Dr. Paul Joos, Anthony Hemstad and Dr. Aaron Heide voting for an appeal, and Sue Bowman and
[ STORE from page 1 ] under the federal Controlled Substances Act. State law allows medical marijuana use but council members decided the state law remains unclear about distribution of the drug and doesn’t want any medical marijuana businesses operating in the city. Washington Supreme Court Commissioner Steven Goff granted a temporary stay Dec. 5 that lifted the city’s ban on medical marijuana collective gardens. A King County Superior Court judge on Oct. 5 had upheld the city’s ban. Deryck Tsang, who owns a Kent medical marijuana collective garden, joined several other plaintiffs to request a stay to the order. Tsang reopened his Herbal Choice Caregivers business along West Valley Highway in North Kent after Goff ’s ruling. Tsang had closed his business after the Superior Court ruling. The state allows medical marijuana use by patients who may participate in collective gardens. Tsang’s lawsuit challenges the city’s ability to employ a zoning ordinance to prohibit medical marijuana collective gardens within all of its zoning districts.
Carolyn Parnell against it. Joos said after the meeting the appeal would go to the Supreme Court in the next few weeks. He indicated that Phil Talmadge, a former state Supreme Court justice who argued the case before county Judge Michael Hayden, would file and then argue the appeal, along with the hospital district’s attorney, Bruce Disend. In 2011, the hospital commission voted 3-2 to approve the strategic alliance with UW Medicine, which is designed to improve and
King County Superior Court Judge Jay White upheld the city’s authority for the outright ban. Tsang’s request for a stay was based on delaying enforcement of the ban pending review of the Superior Court decision by the Supreme Court. Any ruling by the Supreme Court is expected to be months away. “I hadn’t heard,� Kent Mayor Suzette Cooke said when told about the opening of South King Holistic. Cooke supports the council’s ban. “The council still has in place a moratorium on medical marijuana distribution,� Cooke said. “Where we go from here will be determined on what facts we find.� Cooke said she’s uncertain if Lambert can open under the temporary stay order issued by Goff. City officials also have concerns about whether businesses are operating as collective gardens. “The gamesmanship with the distribution of marijuana has made any definition of collective gardens a travesty,� Cooke said. “It’s where one minute you can walk in and buy the product and they then discontinue membership the next moment so they can continue
expand medical care in South King County. However, that majority changed with the election of Joos to the commission. Joos, Hemstad and Heide argue that the commission in 2011 overstepped its legal authority to enter into the agreement. The alliance’s implementation is continuing. Commissioners debated the resolution for several minutes, with Parnell asking why the lawsuit or the appeal was necessary. Joos said he’s explained many
to turn the members. That is a distribution not a collective garden.� Lambert said he follows the collective garden rules as well as the DEA rules to not be within 1,000 feet of a school. “When I was within 1,000 feet of a school and they (DEA) asked me to close, I did,� Lambert said. “It didn’t mean I was going to stay closed.� Lambert said city officials stated they would follow the new state law that allows personal use of marijuana. He said he wishes the city also would allow collective gardens. “The city can’t pick which laws it chooses to follow or not to follow,� Lambert said. “I can’t see why they have trouble with it. I hope we can build a relationship to not have to keep fighting because it causes turmoil for patients.� Cooke said the city stands by its ban against medical marijuana dispensaries. “I don’t know what type of operation he (Lambert) has,� Cooke said. “But there’s still no legal way to distribute.�
times why the challenge was need; those reasons are spelled out in the resolution. Heide said the challenge was no so much about the alliance, but the precedent that was being set regarding delegating powers. Lisa Jensen, who chairs the strategic alliance’s 13-member Board of Trustees, said after the meeting she was disappointed with the commission’s decision because the lawsuit is a distraction for some. She attended the commission meeting as an observer.
[ CLERK from page 1 ] are strengths that will allow him to serve the Kent community with distinction,� said Kent Mayor Suzette Cooke in a media release. “He impressed me with his dedication to customer service and use of innovative technology to make government transparent for the community. The depth of his background in records management makes him well qualified on all fronts.� As city clerk, Moore will keep track of all of the city records, send out public notices about meetings, hearings and bids and work closely with the council to provide agendas, minutes of meetings and other information. He will receive an annual salary of $74,268. In 2005, Moore was named deputy city clerk of Shoreline, where he provided clerk services for council meetings and work sessions. He also administered records management and oversaw archival storage of city documents. Prior to Shoreline, Moore was the Normandy Park city clerk from 2001 to 2005. Moore is well aware of Jacober’s longtime service

to the city. “I think this is going to be it for me,� he said. “This will be the position that I do the same thing that Brenda has done and that’s retire from. I’m planning on staying here for a long time.� Moore, who has two children and resides in Tacoma with his girlfriend and five rescued pets (three dogs and two cats), lived in Kent in the late 1990s. “I thought about those good old days when I used to be on the Riverbend Golf Course and I still play softball at Russell Road Park with different teams,� he said. After working at the small city of Normandy Park, population 6,300, Moore knew he wanted to stay in the public sector. But he wanted to work for a larger city. He switched to Shoreline, with a population of about 53,000 and now is ready to work in Kent, a city of more than 119,100. “I always wanted to know about the internal workings of a city and it’s been a goal of mine to work for a larger city and Kent provided that for me,� he said. “I’ve heard outstanding things about the staff to the council and its residents.� Moore, who grew up in
New Haven, Conn., joined the Army after more than a year of college and became an administrative assistant in Germany. He attended the Army’s executive administrative assistant school at Fort Jackson S.C. That led to a position as an executive assistant to the post commander at Fort Lewis for four years. Moore decided to stay in Washington, but left the military and pursued a career in the private sector, working for several Internet firms that didn’t survive. He wanted a more stable job and a friend recommended going after a public sector job. He eventually was hired at Normandy Park as a city clerk, where his job duties included a bit of everything. “It was a fast-track learning experience,� he said. He later applied to be the Shoreline city clerk, didn’t get that job, but took the deputy city clerk job when that person received a promotion. When the clerk position opened in Kent, he went for the job to complete his plan of working as a city clerk at a larger city. “I’m excited to be here, happy to be here and feel very blessed with this opportunity,� Moore said.

[ PROJECT from page 1 ] and take pressure off the James Street hill,� said Tim LaPorte, city public works director, in a phone interview. Kent has received a $5 million grant from the Washington State Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) for the first portion of the street extension project. The council approved in October a Local Improvement District that will raise about $9.5 million from fees paid by property owners in that district. “The $5 million grant is an incredible plum,� LaPorte said. “We’re very, very pleased to get that grant. That’s about the largest grant you can get to one agency.� The city will need to get approval from the state for the bridge over Highway 167. LaPorte said construction probably won’t start in 2013 but should begin in 2014. “The consultant will provide structural engineering services for the design
of the new bridge and wall structures,� according to city staff reports. “This includes the preparation of the plans, specifications and estimate (PS&E) for the SR 167 bridge. The consultant will also assist in obtaining Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and environmental permits to construct the project.� Crews will construct a new three-lane road that will connect East Valley Highway (also known as 84th Avenue South/Central Avenue North) and Benson Road (also known as 108th Avenue Southeast/SR 515). The project will include new bridges over SR 167 at 224th Street and Garrison Creek along South 218th Street; new curb, sidewalk, planter strips and planted center median where possible; overhead utilities moved underground; and new storm drainage treatment and detention facilities. Phases of construction of the estimated $30 million street extension include the
just west of Highway 167. City officials started to plan for the extension of South 224th Street in the 1980s because of the expected growth in neighborhoods near the street. LaPorte said the South 228th corridor was one of three east-west corridors planned by the city in the 1980s to move traffic between the West Hill and East Hill through the valley. The other corridors include South 277th Street and South 196th Street. “The goal of the corridors is to get traffic from the East Hill to 167 and to I-5,� LaPorte said. The completed portions of the 228th corridor include South 231st Way up the West Hill to Military Road as well as the 228th Street railroadstreet separation overpass at the Burlington Northern Santa Fe tracks. The city also wants to construct a railroad-street separation along 228th at the Union Pacific tracks.

So far, the city has funding for the first phase. The council unanimously approved the project in April 2008 in an effort to provide an alternate route between the Kent Valley and East Hill, as well as improve safety on the upper portion of the road where it will replace a narrow street that lacks paved shoulders, sidewalks and a turn lane.

COMMENTARY
“Will Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson win NFL Rookie of the Year?”
Dennis Higgins
?
Question of the week:
The 2013-14 biennial city budget adopted by the Kent City Council is a significant achievement: it pays down debt, holds the line on expenses, restores emergency reserves, and repairs the future financial outlook for the city. It is the result of difficult decisions, a great deal of citizen input, and compromises. I appreciate this opportunity to explain my thinking. In the past few years, in addition to the recession, changes in state law have permanently eroded the city’s financial foundation. These include limitations on property taxes and significantly, the Streamlined Sales Tax (SST). SST changes the way sales tax is distributed from “point of origin” to “point of destination.” For decades, the city received robust revenues from our large warehouse and manufacturing district. SST and the recession mean a 32-percent reduction in revenue, with no equivalent reduction in the need for city services. Local businesses and the community realize many benefits from the ShoWare Center, but the arena has under-performed financially and increased debt. The council will continue to work with Mayor Suzette Cooke and with the Public Facilities District to examine options for improving the arena’s financial performance. For several years, city leaders have delayed confronting these budget realities. I, too, was overly optimistic that we could simply “waitout” the problems. There was a hope that the good old days would soon return. The city depleted its reserves, deferred maintenance on parks and streets, cut more than 100 positions, implemented furloughs and eliminated cost-of-living adjustments. This was not sustainable; in fact, third party reviewers such as Moody’s downgraded the city’s bond rating. At the beginning of 2012, my colleagues and I set out to take strong corrective action.
It does all three Permanently fixing the city’s finances depends on three things: reducing expenses, diversifying the tax base and reducing debt. This budget accomplishes all three of these goals. The mayor and the council have cut expenditures in this budget, including 20 positions. We reduced subsidies from the general fund toward permit and recreation fees, asking users to pay more of their share of the cost. We will be reviewing the recommendations of an efficiency study and taking further action in 2013. We welcome all suggestions for savings. [ more HIGGINS page 9 ]

Let’s take guns away from the criminal and mentally ill To quote one of your readers, “We live in a politically polarized and divisive time.” This is a true statement. This reader and the other reader in your column (“Going back to school on security”, Dec. 28, Reporter) wrote in to suggest more laws and more restrictions on weapons. Although I applaud them for their compassion and willingness to fix the problem, I do suggest that they sit down calmly and rationally address the situation. We have banned guns and added hundreds of laws to no avail. It’s time to stop all this posturing and solve the real problem. The problem is not the gun, it is the criminal and mentally ill person who has caused these terrible situations. Ask yourself a simple question: If a criminal or mentally ill person drove a car into a group of kids at a bus stop, would you ban cars? Areas like Chicago, New York, etc., with some of the most restrictive gun laws have higher crime. Why is this you may ask? It’s not the criminals or the mentally ill who abide by these laws, it’s the honest hard-working Americans who abide by the law and are the most affected by these laws. Our Second Amendment is not to guarantee hunting rights but to guarantee our freedoms from the government. Maybe we should hire and pay the NRA
Letters policy The Kent Reporter welcomes letters to the editor on any subject. Letters must include a name, address and daytime phone number for verification purposes. Letters may be edited for length. Letters should be no more than 250 words in length. Submissions may be printed both in the paper and electronically. Deadline for letters to be considered for publication is 2 p.m. Tuesday.
We need better solutions to gun problem
and fire all these professional legislators. The NRA appears to be more responsive to up holding the rights of the people. I suggest that people write their congressman, senators and the president and have them write new laws to prevent criminals and mentally ill from obtaining weapons. These legislators have sworn an oath to uphold our Constitution, not restrict it. I don’t know if it’s complete incompetence or a political agenda that cause these legislators to act so irresponsible. If they don’t address these problems, as I have suggested, they should be voted or recalled out of office. All these feel-good gun laws and legislators who promote them have contributed to these horrific events as much as the criminal and mentally ill person who pulled the trigger.
In response to Aaron Halabe’s letter (Kent Reporter, Jan. 4), I believe a comment or two is called for. Mr. Halabe is obviously concerned about the recent travesty, as we all are. But a “let’s do something, even if it’s wrong” mentality is not going to accomplish anything good, and certainly has the potential for bad. He wants to go back to banning “assault weapons,” something we tried before. As a matter of fact, as he points out, it became law in 1994 and 10 years later, in 2004, the law went off the books. Why, you should ask? It was allowed to expire because carefully kept statistics by the FBI showed that 10 years in effect did nothing to reduce crime. Why try that again? Just to feel good? High-capacity magazines? Come on now. Want more bullets? You carry another low-capacity magazine. Install time required: two seconds. Mr. Halabe is concerned, I am sure. How about some serious thinking and come up with something that might help, not something without benefits? And, by the way, what gives him the right to speak for NRA members?

[ HIGGINS from page 6 ] For several months earlier this year, citizens groups met to examine the backlog of street and park maintenance. Since 2008, more than 90 percent of street maintenance was deferred, and park reinvestments ceased, as real estate tax revenue fell more than 70 percent. Citizens recommended that the council implement a business and occupation (B&O) tax for street maintenance, and a levy for parks and street work. The B&O was enacted, however voters chose not to support the levy. Though challenges remain, 2012 was a year of significant progress toward responsible maintenance of city infrastructure. This budget includes a (6 percent) cable utility tax. While no one enjoys increasing taxes, the revenues from this tax will prevent
a bargain and treasure hunter’s dream come true, according to Goodwill. Clothing, housewares, glassware, books, media and toys are sold by the pound, unless specifically marked. Merchandise is not pre-sorted. The store hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. MondaySaturday and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday. Call 253-8542211 for more information. further cuts to city services such as police protection. Lastly, the council wisely chose to pay down debt and replenish reserves in this budget. In three years the emergency reserve funds will be restored, and in under 10 years, over $9 million of debt will be retired. Doing this hard work now will greatly reduce the debt burden. Future Kent leaders will be able to avoid the reactionary measures taken in recent years. Through the repair of our financial foundation, with the paying down of debt, and with reduced spending, brighter days are ahead for the city of Kent. Our city is a great place to live, work, play, and do business. This council is determined to keep it that way.

The Seattle Thunderbirds junior hockey team has hit a rough stretch this winter. Seattle suffered its 11th consecutive loss Tuesday night at the ShoWare Center in Kent as the Spokane Chiefs won 4-3. The T-Birds (16-22-2-1) had a winning record and appeared to be on their way to snapping a three-year playoff draught. But now Seattle has dropped into a tight race for one

of the eight playoff spots out of the 10 teams in the Western Hockey League’s Western Conference. With the loss to Spokane, Seattle sat in seventh place in the conference with 35 points, just one point ahead of the Everett Silvertips and five points ahead of Prince George. The T-Birds also hit a losing streak last year midway through the season that helped doom their playoff chances. Seattle returns to the ShoWare Center against Victoria at 7:05 p.m.
Saturday. The Chiefs (26-12-1-0) skated out to an early lead just 19 seconds into the game. Brendan Kichton scored on the power play to put Spokane in front 1-0, with Todd Fiddler and Reid Gow getting the assists. Seattle managed to tie the game with six seconds left in the first period on a rush up the ice. Jared Hauf got the puck in the neutral zone and moved it to Branden Troock skating up the right boards. Troock slid a pass to Shea Theodore
in the slot who shot the puck low glove side past Spokane goalie Eric Williams for his eighth of the year. Seattle took a 2-1 lead from a great individual effort by Mitch Elliot. Spokane tied the game 2-2.Seattle then scored to take a 3-2 lead at the 17:20 mark of the second. The Chiefs managed to tie the game once more at 3-3 through Mike Aviani’s 20th goal of the year. Spokane scored the final goal of the game at 6:12 of the third period when Liam Stewart scored.

Kentlake downs Auburn Riverside BY KRIS HILL khill@covingtonreporter.com
Ignited by sophomore Nick Smith and freshman Rajaat Chauhan, Kentlake’s wrestling team defeated Auburn Riverside 47-29 on Jan. 4 in a South Puget Sound League 4A North dual meet. Smith, who wrestled at 113 pounds, tallied a near fall, scoring 16 points before the second period finished. Chauhan earned a technical fall with a takedown to win his 120-pound match 15-0
early in the third period. Sophomore Jesse Younkin had arguably the most exciting win of the evening. Younkin was tied with Riverside’s James Smith at 4-4 in the third period at 138 when he scored a reversal which led to a pin with less than 15 seconds left on the clock. Zach Harris took an 11-5 decision over Riverside’s Zach Ghetian at 170 while Billy Reichlinger pinned his opponent 38 seconds into the first period at 195 to help stretch Kentlake’s lead.
Thank you Kent for nominating us
Senior Tyler Deskins wrapped up the evening for the Falcons with a 13-2 win over Larkin Williams at 285. It was a battle of wills between the heavyweights early on but Deskins made his move late in the second period with a takedown then three near-fall points en route to the victory. The Falcons followed up the win the next morning with a trip to the Panther Classic at Snohomish High. Smith took first at 106, beating Tyler Almaguer of Kamiakin 9-2 in the final.

that grocery stores, home stores and discount retailers are offering potted orchids as well as your local greenhouse. Buy a phalaenopsis or moth orchid that is in bloom but still has many buds. Do not over water. Root rot is the most common way to kill a potted orchid. In our cloudy climate many orchids need water only once a week. Just make sure the plant does not sit in drainage water. Some orchid growers suggest you water orchids by placing a few ice cubes on top of the bark chips that surround the orchid roots once a week. Phalaenopsis orchids love filtered light so keep them out of direct sun - again not a problem in Western Washington. Another tip is do not fertilize your potted orchid when it is blooming. To much fertilizer can cause the orchid to drop its already formed flower buds. Wait until summer when the orchid goes dormant to feed your orchid plant. An office is actually a great place to grow phalaenopsis orchids because they prefer warm daytime temperatures over 70 degrees but low night temps below 60 degrees – perfect for any location that turns the heat way down at night. Buy a budded orchid plant in January and you can easily enjoy fresh blooms until April. I Marianne Binetti

The second week of January is when gardeners take note of their oftenignored houseplants. This year the beauty and health benefits of indoor plants is a top trend for 2013 as health and wellness surpasses prestige and luxury as the reason consumers decide to part with their disposable income. Those green stalks of lucky bamboo that were such a hit with the 20-something crowd had spread to include all ages and all types of indoor plants – including the benefits of cut flowers, potted bulbs and houseplants that flower for months indoors. This winter bring home the exotic beauty of an orchid, the lush green of a palm or the textural treat of a jade plant. Consider houseplants a natural prescription for good health.

Ask Your Lawyer by Dan Kellogg
Children as Beneficiaries of a Qualified Plan Parents of minor children may be tempted to name the children as beneficiary of a qualified plan like an I.R.A. or a 401k plan. But until the children attain age 18, the account will be held in a guardianship making it difficult to provide for their needs. It is best to designate as beneficiary a trust for the benefit of the children as established in the parents’ Will. For children of legal age, the children can be designated as beneficiary so they can “roll-over� to a “stretch I.R.A.� and be able to recognize the income tax over their life expectancy. Check the designated beneficiaries on your qualified plans to be certain that your intentions will be fulfilled. I have more than 35 years experience and will handle your case personally. Please call 425-227-8700 to schedule an initial appointment at one of our offices conveniently located in Renton and Kent. Committed to you and the community.

watching the second one drop leaves and die. What tall indoor plant do you suggest for a corner with no windows? D.S., Tacoma A. Sounds like you need a lady in your life – the graceful lady palm that is. Lady palms or Rhapis excelesa come in over a 100 named varieties but all do extremely well in low light – something the British found out in the 18th century when these palm trees graced every proper Victorian parlor. Q. Help. I inherited a large and beautiful jade plant – that is now dying. It was happy all summer and then a few months ago started to drop leaves. It is near a bright window and I water it once a week. Should I repot the plant? P.P. Email A. Help is on the way.
Do not repot your jade, just stop watering. This succulent plant needs very little water in the winter when days become shorter. In our climate potted jade plants thrive on a cupful of water once a month from October to March. Some indoor gardeners insist they don’t water their jade plants at all during the winter, but I find if you water once a month you can prevent the foliage from shriveling. Jade plants enjoy spending the summer outdoors on a patio but check the plant carefully for cottony-white mealy bugs before you bring it back indoors. A cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol is an effective treatment for mealy bugs on any houseplant.
