P
By Dr. Nick Jansson reparation for travel
with older adults is important to review year-round. The following tips are not only for seniors but also for family members and caregivers who may be traveling with them. Medicines: Bring a supply of daily medicines to last the trip but also carry an extra two weeks of medicine in case plans change. It’s easy for prescriptions to be transferred to
a pharmacy, but this is difficult to do if you’re cruising at sea! Also, bring important medicines that are only taken as needed but could be potentially life-saving, such as nitroglycerin (for chest pain), asthma inhalers, extra insulin or portable oxygen. ASSISTIVE DEVICES: Make sure to have a standard or folding cane, walking stick or walker for trips involving prolonged walking or standing, particularly the device is something an individual usually uses for walking or balance. AMBULATION: On long car or plane
rides, it is important for seniors to ambulate at least once every one to two hours. Individuals with arthritis should get up and stretch. Moving also helps prevent a type of blood clot called deep venous thrombosis (DVT), which can form when blood doesn’t get pumped up from the legs to the heart as well as when leg muscles are not working as much during rest. These clots can travel to the lungs and cause blockage of blood flow and even death in extreme cases. If it is difficult to ambulate, do leg exercises while sitting. Flexing and extending the calf muscles by pointing toes upward with the heels on the ground (dorsiflexion) or moving heels up off the ground with the toes still planted (plantar flexion) can help contract and stretch calf muscles. Other preventative measures include wearing compression stockings and staying
well hydrated. LISTS: A list of medicines, medical conditions, allergies, surgeries, advanced directives and physicians that the individual sees is important to have at all times in case of medical care or emergency. This list can be typed or written and kept in a purse or wallet. HOSPITAL/AMBULATORY CARE CENTERS: It is a good idea to know of nearby hospitals, urgent care centers or other forms of ambulatory care centers in the area of your travel. These suggestions will help make travel much easier, safer and potentially life-saving for our senior family members!

Beginning in January, the former City Hall building at 200 Mill Ave. will be pressed back into service, this time as the home of the new Amazing Grace Christian middle and high school. The City Council on Monday approved by a 5-0 vote (Councilwoman Terri Briere was absent and Counilman Armondo Pavone recused himself from the vote because his children attend the school) a five-year lease for the school, which has been in operation since 1960 and is looking to expand. The city values the lease at $705,729.36 over the full five-year term. “That the Renton City Council has given us the opportunity to offer our community a middle and high school that is so fundamentally different than traditional schools is humbling,” said Amazing Grace Adminis[ more 200 MILL page 11 ]

Renton High juniors taking to IB program BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
This year Justin Apolonio got to try something new at Renton High School, where he is a junior. He’s learning to think about learning, or metacognition as it’s formally called in his Theory of Knowledge class, part of the school’s new International Baccalaureate Programme. “So, for example, in science rather than asking a simple blunt question like ‘what are the three states of matter?’ you could ask something like ‘how do we know what we know based on scientific research?’” he said. Apolonio is just one of the 250 to 300 juniors at Renton High School who have really taken to the IB program. He is
one of 52 students taking all six IB classes in pursuit of the IB diploma. IB is a college preparation program for juniors and seniors that expects the students to demonstrate college-level work. At Renton High School the program is debuting to juniors only this year, who have really taken to it, according to administration. Successfully obtaining an IB diploma gives students the opportunity to apply to exchange credits and gain access to such college’s as Paris’ Sorbonne and Harvard. Students can waive up to two years of college classes with an IB diploma anywhere the diploma is accepted, both nationally and internationally.
Don’t forget to ‘fall back!’ Daylight Savings time officially ends at 2 a.m. Sunday morning when clocks are rolled back one hour. The fire department also recommends using this time as a reminder to check your smoke detectors.

Highlands Library hosts Day of the Dead workshop BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
Local teens were treated to a Sugar Skulls, Dia de Muertos or Day of the Dead art workshop by Amaranta Ibarra Monday afternoon at the Renton Highlands Library. Teens and a few adults learned about the traditional Mexican celebration and decorated pre-made sugar skulls with glitter paint, sequins, assorted paper and other materials. “Dia de Muertos is a Mexican celebration and it’s a mixture of two different indigenous and religious beliefs,” said Ibarra. “And we do believe that the spirits come every year and they visit us. So because of that, we must be prepared.” Mexican families usually set up altars to honor their deceased loved ones with four levels, she said. There is a level for water because the spirits are believed to be thirsty. There is a level for candles, so the spirits can see their way. There is a level for a picture of the loved one and a level for their favorite food. Marigolds or cempazuchitl and Monarch butterflies are hallmarks of the season as the flower is in bloom this time of year and the butterflies return to Mexico from Canada. Dia de Muertos is celebrated on Nov. 1 and 2. “I think now it’s pretty celebrated on the West Coast,” said Ibarra. “Dia de Muertos is celebrated believe it or not in New Zealand, the Philippines, Brazil and the United States.”

Jennifer Wooten, Teen Services librarian for Downtown and the Highlands branch, chose the program for the library’s “Season of Stories and Songs,” because of the large Hispanic population in the area. “I thought it would be a perfect fit for the community and it’s a teen program…,” Wooten said. Teens at the library munched on Dead Bread or Pan de Muerto, a sugary white bread donated by Highlands bakery Flour, Sugar and More. Renton resident Linda
Trick-or-Treating Garcia wanted to thank the library for putting on the special presentation. “I think it’s a beautiful thing to be diverse and to allow other cultures to be a part of and embrace something different.” Reporter Tracey Compton can be reached at 425-2553484, ext. 5052 or tcompton@rentonrepoter.com.

[4] October 31, 2014 [ IB PROGRAM from page 1]
www.rentonreporter.com
The Race to the Top funding really supported ramping up the program with the training of teachers prior to implementation, administration said. Nearly all juniors at the school are taking two IB classes: History of the Americas and IB English. Area Instructional Chief Damien Pattenaude called that “unheard of.” Of the 21 schools in the state with an IB program, there are none with the demographics and size of those students enrolled in IB classes that there are at Renton High School, he said. At other schools that are even bigger, like Kent-Meridian, IB is like a gifted program, where kids can opt out. But at Renton, IB has been made the default curriculum. “We want to provide access to all kids,” said Pattenaude. Classes aren’t free. There is a $160 registration and exams cost $110, but for students who receive free and reduced lunch registration is only $16 and each exam is $20. Renton High School has a free and reduced lunch population of about 95 percent. “You can get students initially, but how do we retain them?” Pattenaude said. He’s been talking to students about their challenges with IB and their schedules. There are some students who are taking all six IB classes on top of sports and other activities such as jobs. There are other students who might be in a couple of clubs, but who are also pursuing the full IB diploma. The only students not in IB classes are students with an IEP or Individualized Education Program or English Language Learners. Even still, Pattenaude said that Renton is working with

those departments to have at least the IB spirit introduced. For those students pursuing the full IB diploma there are six classes plus three other components to graduate: a creativity, action and service component; the Theory of Knowledge class and the extended essay, a 4,000 word independent research paper. “It’s IB’s way of making sure we have well-rounded students who are an active component of the community they live in,” said Shehnaz Wadhwania, IB Diploma Coordinator. “It’s not about just being good at academics, but also being good at other components of just being human and productive.” There are district funds to support the program and grant funds to accelerate and sustain it. “I just think what’s going on at Renton is unique,” said Pattenaude. People have asked why Renton and
not Hazen for the IB program, he said. For him and staff, it came down to a belief in the kids and the community at Renton deserve the program and can thrive in it, he said. Pattenaude has heard from critics who question the idea of every student at Renton High taking some IB classes. He says people are taking a wait-andsee approach, but he’s confident the program he initially introduced to the school as principal will be successful. “It’s a shift in our mindset, but we’re not naive to think that you can’t do this without the requisite support,” which is where the Race to the Top funding has come in handy for training teachers and providing tutoring. “I think Renton High School is doing incredibly exciting work…I am just first excited about the high school including all students not students who have been in accelerated classes,” said Hilary Loeb, director of the Puget Sound Educational Service District. She is particularly impressed with the “rich system of support so they (students) can get help if they need it.” Loeb notes Renton’s size of impoverished students and racially diverse population for being unique in adopting the IB program because she said, you usually see IB taking root in more affluent schools. The idea of academic acceleration has really taken root across the region at other schools including Rainier Beach and Chief Sealth high schools, she said.

Trending: What to expect on your doorstep tonight
The Highlands Goodwill staffer Crystal Lopez is decked out in a Day of the Dead costume, one of the popular themes for Halloween 2014.
BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
The Renton Reporter took a tour of local costume and thrift shops to see what adults and kids will masquerade as for Halloween 2014. The results of what’s trending this year weren’t that surprising as many costumes followed pop culture and classics. Staff at the Highlands Goodwill store said that characters from the movie “Frozen” were top sellers as well as zombies from “The Walking Dead” TV show, the character Walter White from “Breaking Bad” and Dead of the Dead or Dia de los Muertos paraphernalia. “We sold out of a lot of stuff this weekend,” said Perla Zamora, Goodwill assistant manager, about the weekend prior to Halloween. The Highlands Goodwill on Sunset was packed earlier this week with people perusing the costume aisles. Sales have been really good at the Southcenter Value Village too. “The biggest thing that’s helped us is Halloween being on a Friday this year,” said Jeremy Lamb, manager. “I think that makes a lot of people a lot more excited for the season; there’s a lot of parties going and things like that.” Staff at Lamb’s Value Village store were constantly pulling out all the blue dresses, tiaras and blonde wigs they could find to make “Frozen’s” Elsa. Superheroes have also been really big and zombies at all the stores visited. “I think a lot of people like shopping here because you can mix that whole new and used,” said Lamb
TRACEY COMPTON, Renton Reporter
of Value Village. “You can get the packaged costume or you can do the mixture of new accessories with used clothing and do your own creative costume.” This year Goodwill did its first ever “National Halloween Poll” that found that 62 percent of women and 57 percent of men prefer do-it-yourself costumes over packaged products. Goodwill’s poll included a random phone and cell phone survey of 1,005 respondents conducted by ORC International and a separate in-store poll of 8,500 respondents in Washington, California, Nevada, Texas, Illinois, Wisconsin and Florida. The Goodwill polls found that the iconic or classic costume was preferred by 11 percent of
Americans, followed by couple’s costumes at 10 percent. Gory costumes were preferred by only 4 percent and risqué attire lagged behind the popular choices at one percent. The poll concluded that funny, minimalist and unique costume’s are America’s top adult choices for 2014. Southcenter Halloween City staffers echoed previous picks for costumes, but added Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for boys and Monster High characters and Maleficent for girls. So what are local politicians going as this year? City Council member Ed Prince will be Robin as his son is going as Batman. City Council member Marcie Palmer said she’s going to dress in fall

● QUOTE OF NOTE:
“It’s not about just being good at academics, but also being good at other components of just being human and productive.“ Shehnaz Wadhwania, International Baccalaureate diploma coordinator at Renton High School
Give the gift of warmth, donate winter clothing Fall is my favorite time of year. I love the changing of the leaves, the pumpkins and the fall décor. And I’m a big fan of Halloween. But with fall comes a change in weather. Not just rain, but cold. So in October, I begin to get ready. I break out the gloves, scarves, long-sleeved shirts and jackets to stay warm and dry. But what about the countless number of homeless families with children in our community? What do they do? Approximately 1.6 million children will experience homelessness in our country over the course of a single year. Some 200,000 are recorded as being homeless on any given day (or night). Researchers estimate that every 33 seconds a child is born into poverty. This makes families with children one of the fastest-growing segments of the homeless population today. Cold weather poses a real challenge to anyone who is homeless. Not only do they have to find a warm and safe place to sleep at night, but they need warm clothes to wear. And children are especially impacted. According to the statistics, homeless children are sick four times more often than other children and are more likely to be absent from school. They can have four times as many respiratory infections and twice as many ear infections. And children who are homeless are four times more likely to have asthma. Cold temperatures can wreak havoc on an individual. The cold forces a body to lose heat faster than it can produce it. This can lead to hypothermia, which is an abnormally low body temperature. When an individual’s body temperature is too low, the brain is affected. Often, the individual has trouble thinking clearly or moving well. And because children are less able to regulate their body temperature, they are more susceptible to this condition than adults. But there are other reasons to keep homeless children warm. When kids are warm, they are better able to concentrate in school. Just think if you shivered most of the night because you were cold. You would be fatigued and irritable the next day – hardly the best conditions under which to learn. How would you feel if you didn’t have a warm coat to wear when all the other kids went out onto the playground? You might feel isolated and embarrassed. The solution to this problem is fairly simple – give kids winter coats and sweaters to wear when they go to school, or sadly, have to sleep in their car at night. Just keep them warm. Lynn Bohart

OPINION

● LETTERS...YOUR OPINION C O U N T S : To submit an item or photo: email letters@rentonreporter.com;

How can you help? Consider supporting Operation Warm, which is sponsored by Renton Rotary. Every year, Rotary works with Communities In Schools of Renton to identify low-income children and then donates hundreds of new coats to the Renton School District. For some kids, this will be the first new coat they have ever owned. I’ve volunteered for Operation Warm, and it’s pretty gratifying to see kids pick out a brand new coat and then leave with big smiles on their faces. A new coat can give a child a greater sense of well-being and can generate a feeling of worth. You can also support the Renton Kiwanis Clothes Bank, which provides new and gently used clothing and coats to needy families. And when I reached out to Friends of Youth, which runs a local shelter for teens, to see if they needed coats, Terry Pottmeyer, executive director responded, “Absolutely. We’d love that. Our shelter numbers are up 20 percent this past year, and with the winter on its way we
could use the help.” Sue Paro, executive director of Communities In Schools of Renton said, “We can’t take used coats because we don’t have the ability to wash them, but we are in desperate need for new coats for our elementary and secondary kids.” But don’t stop there. Kids need warm hats, scarves and mittens. And because we live in the Northwest, they need umbrellas or waterresistant coats and shoes. And let’s not forget our adult homeless population. A.R.I.S.E. is the local homeless men’s program, and the Center For Hope is the local homeless women’s shelter. A new coat would go a long way in not only helping to keep these people warm, but quite likely, in getting a job. Lynn Bohart is the executive director of the Renton Community Foundation that oversees a number of funds that provides support to those in need in the greater Renton area.

Looking for Cujo or a mark? The following was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports. BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
Two men knocking on doors in search of a chihuahua named “Cujo” at about 11 a.m. Oct. 16 didn’t fool a Renton Police officer, who surmised they might be burglars casing the neighborhood. Several residents had called 911 to report the men’s suspicious activity, which might mean they were trying to find out who wasn’t at home. They gave a convoluted story that they lived in Auburn but were in Renton on South 22nd Court looking for Cujo. A records check showed the 27-year-old Auburn man had a state felony warrant for escape. He had a theft warrant, too. The 19-year-old Auburn man had a clear record. After arresting the older man, officers found a a black crystal-like substance wrapped in aluminum foil in his wallet. It tested positive for black-tar heroin; there was probable cause to arrest him for drug possession. The 27-year-old admitted the two were aiming to burglarize homes, but there was no evidence that they had. He needed money for his drug habit and admitted Cujo didn’t exist. He was booked into the SCORE regional jail. In his backpack, the 19-year-old was carrying a large hand tool professionally crafted to smash windows. He was allowed to leave.
No key but car still unlocks The Renton man was standing next to his two-door sedan, looking for his keys, at The Landing Oct. 14 when the car’s lock disengaged.
Apparently, someone had stolen the keys from his backpack while he worked out. He noticed three men standing in front of LA Fitness, looking at him. They told him they didn’t have anything to do with his missing keys. His father brought him an extra set of keys.
State Patrol to test white substance The Washington State Patrol crime lab will test 77.7 grams of a white powder substance found Oct. 14 in a desk at the Renton Boeing plant. The bags of the substance were found while a desk was being cleaned out to be moved to another area. A Boeing security manager brought the substance to City Hall so that a police officer could field test it. Test results proved inconclusive for cocaine. The State Patrol testing may not occur for weeks or months because it’s a low priority. An investigation is pending until it’s determined whether a crime occurred.
Returns trains to Everett will leave Seattle 15 and 35 minutes after the game. An online schedule of Sounder trains serving Seahawks games is available at soundtransit.org/ Schedules/Event-services/ Seahawks. Special Sounder service is in addition to regular Link light rail service to and from CenturyLink Field. Link runs every 10 minutes on Sunday
A business owner saw a group of juveniles running Oct. 18, after he heard the sound of breaking glass in the retail portion of his business. In investigating an officer found that other businesses and pedestrians knew of the juveniles, had similar run-ins and feared them. The owner of the business in the 2800 block of Northeast Sunset Boulevard found a rock on the floor. Damage was estimated at $500. At least one of the juveniles has damaged the business before.
Movie-goers’ car broken into Someone broke into a car Oct. 19 parked at the movie theaters on East Valley Road, taking a woman’s purse. A window on the car was smashed. Damage was estimated at $250.

Two Tukwila teenagers were cited Oct. 18 after they were stopped at Walmart for failing to pay for beauty products and linens they told an officer they needed. Value of the items was $256. The two walked into the store on Rainier Avenue South and took several Walmart plastic bags from a register. They concealed the items in their purses and the plastic bags. They were trespassed from Walmart for a year; the case was referred to the Renton prosecutor.

Use trees and shrubs to provide food for birds this winter T
THE COMPLEAT HOME GARDENER
Marianne Binetti
he beginning of November means there is still time to add winter color for you and berries for the birds to your landscape. You can add or transplant trees, shrubs and hardy vines in the landscape as long as the ground is not frozen. The column that ran last week was controversial as it suggested to stop putting out bird seed but to provide plant material to feed the birds instead. Bird seed encourages rats, squirrels, weeds and nuisance birds like starlings and pigeons and bird feeders can also spread disease. The National Wild Life association recommends not feeding wild animals including birds unless there is a time of extreme food shortage. The Audubon Society does not ban feeding birds but does have this information about keeping wild birds healthy on their website: “Bringing birds together like we do at feeders and bird baths is unnatural, and increases the chances for them to spread
disease or for waste to accumulate and breed diseases”. The Audubon Society goes on to suggest spreading feeders and baths out so that there are several sources of food and water in different parts of the yard to reduce competition and the concentration of diseases. It is also very important to keep your feeders clean should you do decide to feed the birds with seed or suet. Remove old seed and bird waste and also disinfect bird baths and feeders with a weak bleach solution. Here are some of the trees and shrubs that will provide a natural food source for the birds this winter: Maple Trees (Acer Family); used by finches, nuthatches, warblers, wood peckers Not only do maples add fall and summer color but they will also attract insects that will feed the birds all year round. In our climate both the smaller leaf maples like the Japanese maples and the larger leaf maples like the spectacular Sunset maple will thrive despite hosting a population of aphid, borers or beetles that are natural protein sources for the birds. Maple trees
Oregon Grape (Mahonia); used by cedar waxwing, robins, towhees This native plant is now easy to find at local nurseries and there are several new varieties with larger blooms and more robust growth. Oregon grape is an excellent evergreen for dry shade and the holly-like leaves offer a safe winter haven for birds while the berries provide nourishment.
Honeysuckle (Lonicera); used by chickadees, finches, robins, cat birds and thrushes. Evergreen and deciduous versions of the honeysuckle vine are of great value to the many birds that use their flowers, fruit and insects. Honeysuckle also provides winter shelter amidst the tangle of the vining limbs. The fragrant summer flowers will attract hummingbirds while the winter and fall berries feed small birds all winter.
Snowberry (Symphoricarpos); used by cedar waxwings, grosbeaks, robins, thrushes, towhees. Showy white berries stand out on the bare branches all winter long and this native plant thrives on rainfall alone making it a great choice for a landscape without a sprinkler system. The fruit is not as tasty as other options so the birds will save this meal until the dead of winter when not much else is hanging around. Snowberry has the added bonus of small spring blossoms that provide nectar for the humming birds. Early bloomers are important for humming birds as we often forget to fill and clean feeders during cold weather.
Viburnums; used by cardinals, grosbeaks, robins, sparrows, thrushes and towhees. Viburnums are a wide ranging family of shrubs that come in evergreen and deciduous forms and they love to grow in the naturally acid soil and wet winter weather of Western Washington. All but the snowball type of viburnum will provide winter berries and the evergreen viburnums offer dense foliage for winter shelter. Viburnums also host insects in the spring and summer to provide more bird food – plus they are attractive shrubs that come in many different forms and varieties.
also offer seeds, nesting sites and nest building material.

considered a waste product that was discarded, umbilical cord blood is now known to be rich in lifesaving hematopoietic stem cells – the “parent” cells of all blood cells. About 150 milliliters of cord blood can be collected from each placenta and umbilical cord. “This program provides new moms with an opportunity to save lives at the same time they are bringing a new life into the world,” remarked Donna Russell, principal at Donna Russell Consulting, LLC and Cchair of the Valley Medical Center Board of Trustees. Cord blood collection is a painless procedure that does not interfere with the birth, or with mother-andchild bonding following delivery. There is no risk to either the mother or baby,
and no cost associated with the donation. Families interested in donating cord blood at Valley Medical Center have several options for enrollment, depending on the baby’s due date. “We welcome this opportunity to partner with healthcare providers at Valley Medical Center to introduce a new on-site cord blood collection program,” said Dr. James P. AuBuchon, president and CEO of PSBC. “Cord blood is an important source for stem cell transplants that can be used to treat patients with leukemia, lymphoma and some metabolic or immune system disorders.” Families interested in donating cord blood should speak to their healthcare providers about how to make arrangements.

To prepare the 200 Mill building for the school, the city will have to make a series of tenant improvements, including the removal of asbestos tiles that were installed when the building was built. A bathroom will also have to be added and the fire alarm system will be upgraded. The air conditioning will also have to be improved because of the increase in occupancy. In addition, electrical docking stations and additional outlets will be added to the space, as every child at Amazing Grace uses a laptop as part of their studies. There are also a handful of other standard improvements like painting. The school will utilize a total of 8,661 square feet and there are provisions in the lease for expansion to the second and third floors The city estimates that tenant improvements will cost about $250,000.

Presently located at a facility in Skyway, Amazing Grace is a Christian-based school that serves children from 26 ethnic background and 12 faith traditions. Forty percent of the student population is from Renton. Tuition is approximately $6,000 a year. The high school will emphasize Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) curriculums, but will also teach classic liberal arts and culture. From the city’s standpoint, the school will finally bring in some revenue from 200 Mill Building. The last tenant in the space was WSU Extension and they left in 2009. “I think it’s a good use of the building,” said Council President Don Persson during Monday’s Finance Committee Meeting on the topic. Amazing Grace plans to expand its programs, including the elementary grades presently located in Skyway. Zimmerman said Amazing Grace hopes to welcome students to the new school on Jan. 5, 2015.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Pampered Pets...
Cute Costumes for Clever Canines might be the best choice for this dog or cat. To make dress-up stress free, be sure to start small, move slowly and use lots of treats. Put your pet on leash and feed him with the hand that’s also holding the leash close to his collar or harness. Let him sniff the costume. Build a positive association with the costume in one or two short training sessions. Your pet should quickly come running when he sees his costume, now that costume equals yummy treats. Keep your dog or cat on leash and ask him to sit, stand or down. Use a command (train it separately before adding the costume) to keep the pet in position while you gently and slowly move the costume around his body. Con-
Halloween Pet Safety By Kathy Lang, Family Dog Training Center Halloween is right around the corner! What’s a dog (or cat) to do? From a dog’s perspective, walking the neighborhood after dark can be downright scary. There are lots of strange-looking short creatures running down the sidewalk. The creatures smell and sound like humans, but they certainly don’t look like normal children and adults. Dogs and cats who remain home as the trick-or-treaters arrive are exposed to the same sights, sounds and smells as those out on the street. In some ways it’s even more frightening since these aliens are invading the pet’s territory with constant doorbells, door knocks and “Trick or Treats!” What’s a concerned pet parent to do? Even if your dog has a rock-solid temperament and nothing bothers him, it’s still best to leave him at home on Halloween evening. You never know when something
By Ronda Addy People are always talking about making treats for cats and dogs, but what about treats for other pets? Don’t horses, birds, ferrets and the like deserve homemade treats, too? Of course, they do! Here are some recipes.
Peppermint Apples for Horses
1/4 c. honey 5 T. sugar 1 T. salt 3 peppermints, crushed 1/2 c. oats 1 carrot, shredded 1 large apple, cut into large chunks
Combine honey, sugar, salt and peppermint. Combine oats and carrots. Coat apple chunks with honey mixture and roll in oat mixture. Place in a container and store up to two days.
Quick Duck Soup for Ferrets
1/4 can Heinz pureed turkey or Gerber’s Stage I turkey baby food 2 droppers full Linatone (Ferretone or similar)
pieces 1 carrot, cut into small chunks 1 curly kale leaf, cut into small pieces 1/2 apple, cut into small pieces 2 T. oatmeal
1 dribble molasses Warm water (enough to fill a bowl) Mix ingredients and serve warm.
Hamster Treats
1/4 t. peanut putter
1 small dog biscuit or piece of bread 1 box plain Cheerios cereal Birdseed or sunflower seeds Vegetable variety (carrots, celery, bok choy), shredded Small amount cheese, cheese Spread peanut butter on dog biscuit or bread. Coat with cereal and birdseed or sunflower seeds. Roll in vegetables and cheese.
Guinea Pig’s Dream
1/4 c. pet’s favorite pellets 1 lettuce leaf, cut into small
Place 1/8 of pellets on bottom of pet bowl. Layer with lettuce, carrots, kale, remaining pellets and apples. Sprinkle oatmeal on top. Let set for 2 minutes and serve.
Birdie Manicotti
4 manicotti pasta shells 2 large eggs with shells 1/4 c. small curd cottage cheese 1/4 c. cooked broccoli pieces 1/4 c. carrots, shredded Pure vegetable oil 3 medium-sized tomatoes
truly unusual might happen resulting in a long-term behavior issue for your pet. Some frightened dogs will try to escape; they can slip out of the collar or pull the leash out of your hand. Others will lunge and bite. Puppies and older dogs with fear issues should definitely stay home. Halloween is not the time to socialize or work through behavior problems. At home, it’s best to confine your dogs and cats so they cannot slip out the door. Pets who have a difficult time coping with lots of noise and activity should be exercised, fed and put to bed before the first door knock. A television or radio can keep your pet company and block out upsetting sounds. If you do decide to leave your dog or cat loose in the house, it’s best to have him wear a leash and stay back from the doorway. If he’s reliably obedience-trained, put him on a down stay in the foyer, or have a family member hold his leash each time the doorbell rings. If your dog will honor a baby-gate, that’s another way to keep him secure. For added safety, be sure your pet is microchipped and wears a current ID tag attached to his collar or harness. For especially anxious pets, talk with your veterinarian about medications that can help. And always remember to keep the pets away from the candy! Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Boil manicotti shells until tender, drain and cool. Scramble eggs with shells and set aside. Combine cottage cheese, broccoli and carrots. Add egg and fill manicotti shells with mixture. Lightly grease a glass casserole dish. Place filled manicotti shells in dish and bake for 15 minutes. Wash tomatoes, removing stems and leaves. Crush into a fine pulp and spoon over cooked manicotti. Serve at room temperature and store leftovers in refrigerator for three to five days.
If none of these recipes will work for your pet, you can always find some that will online.

Taking your dog on the family vacation can make for a great trip, if you plan carefully. Safety: A crate should be used for your dog’s safety when traveling. Crates are available from most pet supply stores. Be sure to provide plenty of water and a favorite toy to make your dog as comfortable as possible. Also be sure the crate…. • is large enough to allow the dog to stand, turn and lie down • is strong, with handles or grips, and free of interior protrusions • has a leak-proof bottom covered with plenty of absorbent material • has ventilation on opposing sides, with exterior rims or knobs to prevent blocked airflow • has a “Live Animal” label, arrows upright, with owners name, address, and phone number. Helpful Tips: • Make sure your dog has a sturdy leash and collar. The collar should have identification tags, a license and proof of rabies vaccinations. Your home phone number should be on the tags as well. • You may want to consider a permanent form of ID (such as a microchip or tattoo) that can increase the likelihood of reuniting you with your dog if it gets lost far from home. • Carry recent pictures of your dog with you. If you are accidentally separated, these pictures will help local authorities find your dog. • Take the phone number of your veterinarian and any special medication your dog needs. Some dogs can’t adjust to abrupt changes in diet, so pack your dog’s regular food, bowls and a cooler of water. • If you think you might need to board your dog at some point during your travels, be sure to bring your dog’s complete vaccination records.

Yummy Treats
tinue to use lots of treats and praise. When you first attempt to actually put the costume on your pet, you’ll have the best success after an exercise session but before a meal. A tired, but hungry, dog or cat will be more cooperative. If the costume is elaborate, or has multiple parts, let your pet get used to one piece at a time. Once your pet is fully dressed, the leash and treats will help him understand that he can walk and prevent him from eating his new outfit! Keep the dress-up session short and continue to reward your pet with lots of treats. Be sure to remove the costume (and put it out of reach) when you’re done with your 2014 Halloween photo session!

By Kathy Lang, Family Dog Training Center Walk through any store and you’ll see racks of costumes, including dozens of designs for dogs (and even cats)! While some pets seem to enjoy getting dressed up, many do not. Some pets are afraid of the smells, textures and confining nature of many costumes and hats. However, if you take some time and use some treats, you can train most dogs (and some cats!) to willingly participate in this Halloween tradition. If your pet is uncomfortable being brushed, bathed, held and cuddled, he may have more issues with full-body costumes. A fancy collar or loose-fitting cape

Renton and Nishiwaki, Japan, celebrate sister city relationship Delegation from Japan sees the city’s sights as part of 45th anniversary tour Officials from Renton’s sister city in Japan recently got a first-person look at the city during a special visit to celebrate the longtime relationship between Renton and Nishiwaki, Japan. A 20-member delegation from Nishiwaki, Japan, visited from Oct. 18-20 in celebration of the 45th anniversary of the Renton-Nishiwaki relationship (19692014), hosted by the City of Renton and the Renton-Nishiwaki Committee, as part of the Renton Sister Cities Association. Members of the delegation included Mayor Shozo Katayama, City Councilmember Asada Yasuko, former Mayor Juichi Kishi, city staff, Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Nishiwaki International Goodwill Exchange Association, Nishiwaki Lions Club, business representatives, and community members. Renton-based activities during the three-day itinerary included visits to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park, Nishiwaki Lane, and the Jimi Hendrix Memorial; lunch hosted by Ted and Veronica Rodriguez at Torero’s at The Landing; and an evening social and dinner party hosted by the Dochnahl family. The delegation also toured the Renton Boeing Plant, Renton History Museum and Meadow Crest Early Learning Center and Inclusive Playground, plus enjoyed a catered dinner hosted by committee volunteers. Seattle area highlights included the Space Needle, Pike Place Market, Starbucks, and an Argosy Cruise excursion to Tillicum Village for a salmon bake and traditional Native American performance
of dance and story-telling. An official ceremony & dinner, recognizing the anniversary of the 45-year sister city exchange program, was held at Renton City Hall. Attendees included City of Renton elected officials, the Nishiwaki delegation, representatives from the Hyogo Business and Cultural Center, Consulate-General of Japan (Seattle Office), Renton Lions Club, and dozens of Renton community members. During the city-to-city gift exchange, Mayor Denis Law presented Mayor Shozo Katayama with a model of the new Boeing 737-800 MAX with an engraved plaque recognizing the 45-year sister-city relationship. On behalf of the City of Nishiwaki, Japan, Mayor Shozo Katayama presented a beautiful grey and white concrete carved Buddha statue to Mayor Law and the City of Renton. The Buddha statue represented the message which means “always try to smile through hard work.” Twelve members of the delegation stayed at the Renton Red Lion Hotel; the remaining eight delegates were hosted by members of the Renton community. Delegates paid for their own travel and hotel expenses. Through donations and previous fundraisers, the Renton-Nishiwaki Committee raised supporting funds to help cover delegate expenses for various activities and excursions. In 1969, the official Sister City partnership began with initiative from Renton Lions Club and other area nonprofits, with support from the governments of the two cities. The strength and vitality of a long-term association rests in the hands of citizen volunteers and community participants. Today, the Renton Sister Cities Association is a nonprofit organization

Programming provides opportunities to engage Renton residents, organizations, groups, government, and businesses. Renton’s Sister Cities are Nishiwaki, Japan (established 1969), and Cuautla, Mexico (established 2001).

Despite a 2-0 loss to Kennedy Catholic on Saturday that ended his team’s hopes of a third-straight Seamount League title, Hazen Highlanders soccer coach Ken Matthews said his team is continuing its “upward trend” just as they get ready for the postseason. Despite a tough opening run to the 2014 season that put the Highlanders into a hole, the team battled back through the season and on Saturday found itself playing for a share of the title and a shot at the No. 1 seed for the bidistrict playoffs. “It didn’t happen; so what?” Matthews said in an email. “We’re
in the playoffs and I think we can make some noise there.” Matthews cited a difficult schedule, which included top-ranked teams around Washington and out-of-state, and said he was proud of his team for getting to a position to play for their third straight championship. “We are a much better team tonight then we were Sept. 6 in Idaho,” he said, citing the team’s opening game. Hazen had a shot at a share of the title because of a 6-1 win over Renton Oct. 23 at Renton Memorial Stadium. According to Matthews, that win, played amidst swirling rain and even hail at Renton Memorial Stadium, came on the strength
of the defense, which he called “a rock.” Led by keeper Brittany Dinkins and defenders Elyzabeth Brown, Georgia Lawrence, Kierra Lim, Nicole Anderson, and Shannon Goss, the Highlanders frustrated and held Renton’s high-scoring pair of Asia Briscoe and Olivia Carter to just one goal, which came very late after the match was all but decided. On offense, senior forward Brook Swensen had two goals and two assists and senior forward Emma Lorrigan had two goals and an assist of her own. “This has been their varsity year to shine and as starters they are taking advantage of the opportunity,” said Matthews of Swensen and Lorrigan. “They have eight

D’Angelo Faust and Devon Jackson each scored three touchdowns for the Eagles Friday night as Lindbergh jumped out to a quick lead and then held off Hazen for a 56-18 victory in their 2014 Homecoming game. D’Shaun Sims also had two touchdowns for the Eagles.

According to reports, Lindbergh scored early on a 40-yard touchdown run by Sims and then followed with an 11-yard run to the endzone by Faust for a 14-0 first quarter lead. In the second frame, Lindbergh remained in control with Faust picking up his second TD, an 18-yard run, followed by a 52-yard run to paydirt from Jackson. Quarterback Anthony Hill then hit Jackson on a 63-yard throw-and-run for a touchdown.
goals and five assists in the last three games.” Juniors Taylor Lenton and Madison Kraemer scored one goal each. Getting assists for the Lady Highlanders were sophomores Georgia Lawrence, Amy Warmenhoven and Isis Hatcher. On Tuesday, Hazen closed out its regular season with a 7-0 victory over Tyee. Swensen had two goals and two assists in the win. Senior midfielder Christine Beal, Brown, Goss and Lorrigan each also had a goal, as did freshman Clara Brodie. Hazen will play Nov. 4 at Sunset Chev Stadium. Their opponent has yet to be decided. Reach Editor Brian Beckley at 425-255-3484,
Then, before the end of the half, Sims picked off a pass and returned it 55-yards for a defensive touchdown and a 41-0 Lindbergh lead at the half. In the third quarter, Faust picked up his third TD of the night on a 55-yard run. Not to be outdone, Jackson scored his third of the day on a 10-yard run of his own. Hazen finally got on the board in the third quarter on a 63-yard touchdown run by Marquis Lee. In the fourth, Hazen quarterback Nolan Hoover hit Eli Azcueta on a 16-yard touchdown to bring the final score up to 56-12. [ more FOOTBALL page 18 ]

No. As a matter of fact, we call it a community center that’s dedicated to health. We call it a shopping mall for gifts that bring some much-needed cheer. We call it a school where you can learn about what ails you and how to avoid it in the first place. We call it a peaceful place for healing where the best minds in medicine come together as one. We call it a no-wait emergency room, a family-friendly primary-care clinic, an advanced lab and diagnostic imaging center, and a home to dozens of expert specialists. We call this place Swedish Issaquah. We think you’ll call it extraordinary.

RESOURCE GUIDE
Prepare for travel with older adults
P
By Dr. Nick Jansson reparation for travel
with older adults is important to review year-round. The following tips are not only for seniors but also for family members and caregivers who may be traveling with them. Medicines: Bring a supply of daily medicines to last the trip but also carry an extra two weeks of medicine in case plans change. It’s easy for prescriptions to be transferred to
a pharmacy, but this is difficult to do if you’re cruising at sea! Also, bring important medicines that are only taken as needed but could be potentially life-saving, such as nitroglycerin (for chest pain), asthma inhalers, extra insulin or portable oxygen. ASSISTIVE DEVICES: Make sure to have a standard or folding cane, walking stick or walker for trips involving prolonged walking or standing, particularly the device is something an individual usually uses for walking or balance. AMBULATION: On long car or plane
rides, it is important for seniors to ambulate at least once every one to two hours. Individuals with arthritis should get up and stretch. Moving also helps prevent a type of blood clot called deep venous thrombosis (DVT), which can form when blood doesn’t get pumped up from the legs to the heart as well as when leg muscles are not working as much during rest. These clots can travel to the lungs and cause blockage of blood flow and even death in extreme cases. If it is difficult to ambulate, do leg exercises while sitting. Flexing and extending the calf muscles by pointing toes upward with the heels on the ground (dorsiflexion) or moving heels up off the ground with the toes still planted (plantar flexion) can help contract and stretch calf muscles. Other preventative measures include wearing compression stockings and staying
well hydrated. LISTS: A list of medicines, medical conditions, allergies, surgeries, advanced directives and physicians that the individual sees is important to have at all times in case of medical care or emergency. This list can be typed or written and kept in a purse or wallet. HOSPITAL/AMBULATORY CARE CENTERS: It is a good idea to know of nearby hospitals, urgent care centers or other forms of ambulatory care centers in the area of your travel. These suggestions will help make travel much easier, safer and potentially life-saving for our senior family members! Dr. Nicholas Jansson is a board certified Internal Medicine physician at Franciscan Medical Clinic – Seahurst in Burien, WA.

We have been in the hospitality business for over 50 years in the Seattle area. This community is the dream and proudest accomplishment of my parents, Merle and Vi Steinman.
• Fitness rooms • Mystery trips • Woodshop
After a construction career beginning in 1949, my father, with my mother’s help, built Boulevard Park Place as a retirement community for both sets of my grandparents. Frustrated trying to find a high quality environment that offered a family friendly retirement lifestyle, dad finally decided to build one himself. It has been a labor of love.
• Craft rooms • For seniors 55+
For the last 25 years we have called this community of apartments our home-awayfrom-home. My father passed away in 2004, but my mother still works here 5 days a week. The beautiful grounds reflect her love of flowers and her hard labor.
YOUR HOME:
My parents taught the four of us the value of hard work. The construction and management skills we learned are used daily in maintaining and upgrading Boulevard Park Place. The operations and management was passed along to me more than ten years ago. With the help of family members and live-in managers, we work to keep my parents’ dream a warm, welcoming, safe and lovely home for all of our residents. Our residents are extended family.

Why Pre-Plan? Peace of Mind Many who have undergone the emotional strain of arranging a funeral within hours of losing a loved one have made the choice to pre-plan their own funeral. Doing so lifts the burden from their loved ones by relieving decision-making pressure at a time of grief and emotional stress. Personal Choice Funeral arrangements are a deeply personal choice. Pre-planning provides you with the time needed to make practical, detailed decisions that reflect your standards, lifestyle, taste and budget. And we assure you and your family that the choices you make will be carried out as planned. Lower Costs When you finalize your plan, we can advise you of the total cost. You do not have to set aside funds for your plan, but doing so protects you against escalating funeral costs. By locking in today’s funeral costs and ensuring that the necessary funds are set aside, you help relieve yourself of unnecessary future worry and your survivors of an unexpected expense. 1138531

...senior resource guide Senior center extends hours in bid to attract new retirees BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
The Renton Senior Activity Center is hoping to draw in some new members by trying something they’ve never done before: evening hours. Beginning this month, the center will stay open on Wednesdays until 9 p.m., instead of closing at 5 p.m. like it does the other days. According to Senior Center Director Shawn Daly, the decision to keep the doors open a little longer came in response to a survey that showed residents would like the facility to stay open later. “Obviously, more and more people – including seniors – are working during the day,” Daly said. The hope, according to Daly, is that the extended evening hours provide an opportunity for the newly retired and the about-to-retire to visit the facility and get involved. To help spur a younger crowd, the senior center hosted a retirement planning seminar on Oct. 8 and again this past Wednesday. Additional seminars are planned for future Wednesday evenings as well. Most of the facilities will be open during the extended hours, though the kitchen, coffee bar and computer room will be closed. Daly said they hope to get computer classes in during the evenings in the future. But aside from those three items, the rest of the center’s facilities will be available, from the pool room to card room to the TV room and even the fitness center, though there is a $1 charge to use the fitness center. Two staff members will be on hand Wednesday evenings and though Daly said the additional staffing would show up in the center’s budget, there is presently enough room in the budget and enough demand for the additional hours to make it work. “It’s something that’s really new to us,” Daly said. “I think it’s really going to take off.” The Renton Senior Activity Center is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Wednesdays. For more information, call 425-430-6633 Reach Editor Brian Beckley at 425-255-3484, ext. 5050.

We buy auto insurance to protect our family in the event of accidents and health coverage for unexpected illnesses. We often carry life insurance intended to cover ongoing living expenses for the family in the event of an untimely death. Equally important is discussing your funeral preferences with your family and setting aside funds for your final expenses. By doing so, you relieve your loved ones of the emotional and financial burdens in the future. You can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with having your affairs in order for your survivors. The last thing you want to do is put your family and friends in an unexpected financial position. Families often count on providing for a funeral by using their savings or relying on friends and relatives for financial assistance.

MEET MARILYN
You’re likely to find Marilyn Rogers at a number of places at Merrill Gardens in downtown Renton. Maybe tending her garden outside her second-floor apartment, rolling a 200 game of Wii bowling, practicing with the bell choir or working out in the wellness center. Marilyn has lived for almost four years at Merrill Gardens. She loves it. “I just don’t think there’s a better retirement anywhere.” The best part: Probably the open dining. “Anytime you want, sit where you want, with whom you want, eat what you want. You can have everything on the menu if you could hold it.” She laughs. Before moving to Merrill Gardens, she visited other retirement communities, but chose Merrill Gardens. Location was a big reason. She can walk to the bank and to the post office. But there’s another reason. “I just found that Merrill Gardens is such a happy place.” And Renton is home. She bought her house in Rolling Hills in 1966 and lived there until she moved to Merrill Gardens. For 20 years, she taught high school PE, first at Renton High School, then transferred to Lindbergh when it opened. She lives independently, but she’s comforted knowing that if she ever needs help with her everyday living, it’s available at Merrill Gardens. “If I need care, here it is.” Marilyn Rogers is a resident of Merrill Gardens 101 Burnett Ave. S. 425-272-1193

In September 1979, the city of Renton opened the doors to its “new” Senior Center on the Cedar River. Hailed by then Mayor Charles Delaurenti as the “Best on the West Coast,” the center was a dream come true for Renton-‐area senior citizens. Today the Renton Senior Activity Center continues to flourish. A well rounded program of social, health and recreational activities and services makes the center a very important part of the lives of many area senior citizens. The philosophy at the time the facility was built was that one of the keys to the success of the facility would be determined by the commitment and involvement of senior volunteers. It has always been the feeling here that using senior volunteers to their potential would have a very positive effect on the overall attitude of participants and the center’s atmosphere. Senior citizens that volunteer have a vested interest in the program. This is their center, they have helped develop policy in the past, and they will continue to mold its future. Because they truly care about the center and are proud of what we have to offer, they promote the center in a very positive way. They are the ones who deserve the credit for making the Renton Senior Activity Center the special place that it has become. Volunteers donate their time for a number of reasons, but most volunteer because they care about our community and want to give something back. One volunteer recently told me, “You get out of a community what you put into a community”. Our volunteers are simply amazing. They truly are the heart of our senior center and without them we could not survive. Renton-‐area residents age 50 and up are invited to call the Renton Senior Activity Center at 425-430-6633 for further information about the center and about volunteer opportunities available.

rganic, natural, free trade, local, humane — there is a long list of terms applied to foods and drinks today that make them sound more natural or earth friendly, but how to choose? To help clarify, let’s go over some major categories of foods or beverages. Hint: it’s not all about buying organic products or going totally vegetarian! Meat & Dairy: Buying products that are certified USDA organic can reduce environmental impact because no pesticides, fertilizers or antibiotics were used in the animals’ care. However, certified organic meat and dairy can be very expensive or difficult to find. Locally sourced meat and dairy reduces the energy in transporting it to you. You can also reduce your impact and save money by choosing to use these products less. Instead of dairy, try focusing on high calcium plant foods (broccoli, kale) or fortified orange juice or soy milk. Choose beans and legumes for protein instead of meat, eat meat only once daily or have a meatless day once a week. Poultry and Eggs: Certified organic or humanely raised are good options if available and not cost prohibitive. Just use these items

less to reduce your impact and save money. Instead of chicken, turkey or eggs a few times a week, go for nuts or beans for your protein in a meal or snack. Try a peanut butter sandwich instead of turkey, or have chickpeas on a salad instead of chicken. Veggies and Fruits: The health benefits of eating more non-organic produce far outweigh the marginal risk of increased pollutant exposure. If organic isn’t available, don’t let that stop you from loading your plate! Keep in mind that almost all of the research that show the tremendous health benefits of a high produce intake studied conventional (nonorganic) produce. You can also buy locally sourced produce to reduce the energy used to transport it. Wash it, peel it and eat up! Water: Most experts concur that tap water is safe and preferable to bottled water. Actually, 25 percent of bottled water is tap water. Tap water saves packaging, saves money and isn’t transported long distances. Water bottles are filling landfills and demand more than 1.5 million barrels of oil annually! Another option is to buy a simple filtration system like Pur or Brita that fits on your faucet or uses a refillable pitcher. For water on the go, treat yourself to an easy-to-wash bottle you can refill it use for years.

Benjamin Franklin famously said: “. . . nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” While this is true, at least most Americans will be able to avoid death taxes. However, for those fortunate to have a taxable estate, there are strategies that can be used to minimize exposure to estate taxes. Generally speaking, for both the federal government and the State of Washington, all assets owned by an individual (including the death benefit of any life insurance) are included in the “taxable estate”. The State Estate Tax has an exemption of $2.0 million for each individual. The rate of estate tax on any assets over that amount is a sliding scale from 10% to 19% of the amount over that amount. An individual or a married couple with a taxable estate of less than $2.0 million need not be concerned with estate taxes. But it is important to note that in the case of a married couple, at the death of the surviving spouse there will be only one exemption of $2.0 million to protect the assets of the surviving spouse from estate taxation. Therefore, it is important for a married couple to plan to minimize estate tax liability if the taxable estate is likely to exceed $2.0 million. One strategy to minimize the value of the taxable estate is to make gifts during lifetime. An individual can give up to $14,000 to any other person during a calendar year without any requirement to file a Gift Tax Return. Gifts in a larger amount made during a calendar year will reduce the Federal Estate Tax exemption amount. However, there is no effect on the State Estate Tax exemption amount. A married couple can provide for the creation at the death of the first spouse of a Credit Shelter Trust (or “A-B Trust”) for the benefit of the surviving spouse. The assets funded in that trust will not be included in the taxable estate of the surviving spouse. This strategy must be created in the estate plan of the first spouse to die. For those persons with a taxable estate with a value in excess of $2.0 million, it is important to seek appropriate legal counsel to explore available strategies to minimize exposure to estate tax liability.

Whether it’s a military operation, a family vacation or a remodeling project, you know how important it is to plan in advance. Your funeral or cremation service is no different. There are dozens upon dozens of decisions that must be made, and by making them now you have added peace of mind that everything will be right. And making your final arrangements today will help protect your family from some of the emotional and financial burdens that often occur after the loss of a loved one. When you plan your funeral or cremation service in advance, you’ll have the opportunity to become informed about your options and their various costs, putting you in full control of your services. You’ll be able to select funeral or cremation services that will truly have meaning to you and your family while properly honoring your military service. Like any special event, a funeral or cremation service gives your family and friends time to support each other, to share memories and to celebrate your life. You can – and should – plan your service to include photographs,
favorite music, special readings, military medals and honors, and the involvement of family members, friends and military comrades. Consider these questions: • What type of funeral or cremation service do you want? • What military protocols or traditions do you want incorporated into your service? • Are there special photographs or medals you wish to have displayed? • What type of casket or cremation container do you want? • What music would you like to have played? • Will it be a private family service, or open to all? • Do you want your military service reflected on your headstone? • Is your family aware of your wishes? These and other questions will help you plan the funeral or cremation service that’s right for you. Greenwood Memorial, 253-255-1511 www.dignitymemorial.com
