Dear Readers,
Welcome to our fourth anniversary issue, and the first as Uniquely Snohomish.
What began as Blue City Monthly four
years ago has evolved with the realization
that we are each a piece in a much larger
puzzle. We need each other, and only together will our families, communities, and
ultimately our world reach the potential
for which we aim.
As a newspaper publication, we are a
reflection, a voice, of the communities
we serve. Over the last few months you
may have noticed the red banner growing
on the cover of our paper and the design
changes inside. The name change is the
final step of shedding our old name, design style and colors to become Uniquely
Snohomish.
Last November we launched Uniquely
Bellevue, the first in a series of additional
community newspapers we intend to publish with the Uniquely Northwest brand.
We have gotten a tremendous response
from that community.
Going forward, we will continue to focus
on the communities we serve, promoting
local freelance writers to deepen our voice
within each area. In addition, we will add
content to become an even better resource
for our readers who want to know what’s
going on and how to plug into their local
community, with more events listings and
more stories covering topics that help you
live a more fulfilling life.
We will continue to serve nonprofit
organizations that spark our passion to
serve the community — organizations
like Fisher House, Clothes for Kids, Foundation for Edmonds School District and
Nourishing Network, Boys & Girls Club
of Snohomish County, Healing the Children, Lynnwood Food Bank, North Seattle Baseball Association, Lynnwood Senior Center, Volunteers of America, and
Rotary Clubs of Alderwood-Terrace, Edmonds Daybreakers, Edmonds Noon, and
Lynnwood.
As in years past, I’d like to take a moment
to again thank my wife and parents, Anne,
and Dean & Crystal; the Auvé Industries/
Uniquely Northwest team of Bradley, Elizabeth, Steve, Dustin and Cindy; and my
mentors and friends, Theresa & David,
Deb, and especially Gunnvor.
And of course, I’d like to thank each of
you, our readers. Without you, we would
be doing a lot of work for no one. Thank
you for supporting our advertisers.
Go Mariners!

EDITOR’S NOTE
Dear Readers,
Happy Spring! If you’re like me, you’ve
been working in your yard and planting
some potential during the past few weeks.
It’s always fun to spruce up a home and see
beauty in bloom.
Our cover article this month has a lot to
say about gardening for sustainability and
health — both for our families and the environment. I learned so much more while
interviewing Jessi Bloom than I was able to
fit into one article. I recommend her books
if you want to gain more knowledge of permaculture and gardening with chickens:
Practical Permaculture for Home Landscapes, Your Community, and the Whole
Earth (co-written with Dave Boehnlein,
Timber Press) and Free-Range Chicken
Gardens (Timber Press). Each book holds a
wealth of practical instruction and resources you can use for years to come.
Along with Jessi’s books, I want to toot
the horn of one of our regular contributors
at Uniquely Northwest Publications (beginning soon after we started as Blue City
Monthly). Rebecca West has just published
a fabulous book about interior design entitled Happy Starts At Home, Getting the
Life You Want by Changing the Space You’ve
Got. As a design psychology coach, Rebecca helps clients discover what they really
want and need in the space they’re living
in, often enabling them to push through
self-imposed boundaries that have boxed
them into a life that limits their potential.
Her empowering positivity comes shining
through in the book, which includes many
exercises to help the reader define his or
her perfect place, establish an abundant
life, embrace romance and companionship, start over after devastating loss, live
playfully, build a family identity, and much
more. I highly recommend it.
Blue City Monthly readers, you may have
noticed (how could you not?) that the title
of our publication has changed to Uniquely Snohomish. We are expanding to other communities to provide a unique and
positive in-print newspaper. Aren’t you
glad that print is still alive and kicking?
We are happy to provide the wonderful
tactile experience of turning a real page as
you read to the end of an article while sipping your morning cup of coffee.
Thanks for reading!

Sustainable gardening
It’s a sunny morning in Spring, perfect for
shopping at a local garden nursery. You peruse the outdoor aisles and fill your shopping cart with annuals and perennials, picturing them in your yard and only slightly
wincing at the surprising expense of one
dozen plants. At home, you place them on
your deck and suddenly they are dwarfed
by the enormity of the adjacent flower bed,
not to mention the rest of your yard. How
on earth will you ever attain the lush, mature look of a well-landscaped yard without
spending tens of thousands of dollars, and
nearly the same amount of hours, to do it?
“Landscaping is expensive and it takes
time. Some people think it’s just a quick
trip to a garden center to pick up some
plants and some sod, and whoop-de-doo,
there you are! But it’s a lot more than that,”
says Polly Hankin, retired director of the
horticultural design program at Edmonds
Community College.
The most fruitful gardeners among us
know there is always more to learn. Fortunately, whether your yard is nearing perfection, needs a complete overhaul, or is
somewhere in-between, there are experts
nearby with plenty of advice about creating
a beautiful and nurturing environment for
your family, and for the world.
Where to begin
To avoid the unnecessary expense of
changing things later, Hankin’s first goal
when working with a client is to help them
gain a clear picture of how they want to
By Elizabeth Griffin
use their property.
“Is your main goal to have a place for the
kids to play? Do you want a place to have
dinner outdoors in the summertime? Do
you want to grow vegetables? Each one of
those functions has specific needs,” she says.
After deciding what they want in their
yard, a homeowner needs to determine
the best locations for those things. That
requires a careful site analysis.
“Live in the house at least one year before
you start making changes outside, because
you need to see it through all the seasons,”
Hankin advises. “People often have wishful
thinking. They may think the west side of
the house is going to be a really nice place
to sit and relax, but then they find out it’s
really hot there. Or they kind of know, but
don’t want to admit, that they don’t really
have bright sun anyplace in their yard, and
then the plants are not very happy.”
A landscape designer is trained to help
homeowners analyze these issues, but careful
tracking of light throughout the year can also
provide the results necessary to go forward
with appropriate longterm landscaping.
High versus low
maintenance yards
The goal of most homeowners is a beautiful, low-maintenance yard. On the other
hand, many traditional American ideas
of beauty — a perfectly manicured lawn,
weed-free flower beds boasting colorful
blooms in every season, and hardscape
that provides entertainment beyond the
confines of a house — are anything but
low-maintenance. Many homeowners find
themselves a slave to their yard unless they
pay someone else to do the work.
“Some things are without a doubt higher
maintenance. Vegetable gardens are a big
commitment, because it’s not just about
preparing and planting and weeding,
it’s also about harvesting,” says Hankin.
“Shrubs are lower maintenance in general, but it’s very important to choose
plants that aren’t going to get bigger than
you want them. The tags at the nursery
give you the size the plant will reach in
five years, but chances are you’re going to
have it longer. We often don’t give plants
enough space to grow, not only in terms
of height, but also in width.”
In choosing both natives and non-native
plants for a yard, Hankin recommends
the website greatplantpicks.org, which
contains an entire database of plants that
thrive in the Northwest climate.
Sustainability
and longevity
Though admittedly it takes years to fully cultivate and restore land, Jessi Bloom,
local landscape designer and author of
two books from Timber Press, Free-Range
Chicken Gardens and Practical Permaculture, promotes permaculture as a means
of longterm satisfaction and a healthy
lifestyle. Her definition of beauty includes
plants that have a job to do and land that
feeds and nourishes, giving back to the
earth rather than taking from it.
“In its simplest definition, permaculture
is a designed system to create human habitat. It is taking a bunch of elements and
putting them together to work as a system;
getting back to how we lived 100 years
ago while including technology and other creature comforts,” says Bloom. “Ecologically, permaculture is about having a
small footprint.”
In its entirety, permaculture is a philosophy of living that states “You take care of
the earth, the earth takes care of you.” While
that’s a great goal that promotes health on
many levels and eventually requires lower
yard maintenance, it can be overwhelming
to try to remake your entire property at
once. Even with staff to help, Bloom admits
that it took years to realize her vision of a
yard that fed her family with organic vegetables, fruit, and protein sources.
After graduating with a degree in horticulture, Bloom began cultivating a twoand-a-half acre section of land in Snohomish County. With detailed instructions in
her recent book, Practical Permaculture,
she explains how to build a habitat that
will sustain a family and produce enough
to feed others. Once fully established,
Bloom’s garden and animals enabled her
to live for weeks at a time without going
to the grocery store. After a recent move
to new acreage, she reports almost crying
when she had to pay $15 for a container of

blueberries at a local market.
“I was shocked at how expensive
high-quality, organic food cost. I went
home and immediately planted new blueberry plants,” Bloom says. “Save the money
you spend on groceries and put it into your
landscape so you have a future investment
in knowing where your food comes from,
and also the joy of going into your garden
and harvesting your own food.”
Steps toward
permaculture
If having a lush landscape takes a lot of
maintenance, how can one do it without
becoming a slave to their garden? The first
step, according to Bloom, is building the
soil. Testing and putting elements back
that have been depleted in the soil is essential. Much of this can be done by planting specific plant species. More of it can be
done with free-range chickens.
Next, Bloom recommends creating perennial systems by planting fruit trees and
perennial vegetables. It’s necessary to create a temporary irrigation system to provide water for the plants for three years, at
which point they are established and able
to take care of themselves. Bloom sets up
systems such as gravity-fed water supplies
and rain gardens by creating a depression
in the ground so the water is directed and
absorbed where needed. A water catchment system uses gray water from her
house to water the garden, and an extensive
food forest and perennial food plants allow
her family to harvest all year long.
In addition, Bloom cultivates plant and
insect habitats to balance the ecosystem
on her land and make it easy to maintain.
Plants can be used as weed barriers, mulch
makers, nitrogen fixers, windbreaks, pest
repellents and insectaries, as well as for
fragrance, food and cutting. Instead of
battling weeds and pests herself, Bloom
lets the plants do the work. She also puts
up barriers to deer and other animals that
would destroy her plants if given access.
Growing vegetables
Food production is one of the main foci
of most permaculture designs.
Step one in growing vegetables is to find
the spot in your yard that gets the most sun.
If you have a lot of lawn, you may consider
converting part of it to a vegetable garden.
The simplest way to do this is with a method Bloom calls “sheet mulching.”
“Just like nature layers the soil building
process, we put down layers to smother the
grass,” she explains. “Put down burlap or
cardboard, cover it with compost or wood
chips thick enough, and it will kill your
lawn. From there, you can plant directly
into the compost after decomposition.”
Another quick and easy way to have
a vegetable garden is what Bloom calls
“straw bale gardening.” With this method you simply place a straw bale in direct
sunlight, put compost on top, and plant
directly into it. An additional benefit to
the ease of this method is that straw bales
are 18 inches tall, so you don’t have to
bend over far to garden. This will only last
one season, but that gives the rest of the
soil you are working on time to be ready
for planting next year.
Of course, one can always build raised
beds and import soil, but Bloom doesn’t always recommend it for first-time gardeners.
“If you are learning to garden, the less investment financially, the better,” she says.
“You will learn from the process, and it
takes many years to learn how to garden and
to develop an idea of how to use your space.”
Successful gardens that require less
maintenance include flowers and vegetables growing side by side. “I recommend
companion planting, which means pairing
plants that attract pests with plants that
attract the predators of those pests. Flowers have different purposes. For example,
nasturtiums are edible and they attract
aphids, keeping them away from your vegetables. Marigolds attract all kinds of beneficial insects. And yarrow is another good
companion plant.”
Bloom looks for as many functions as
she can when selecting plants: medicinal,
edible, attracting pollinators, and attracting pest predators.
“Gardeners get caught up in beauty and
color, which is superficial; but if we look at
the job of the plant we can put it to work for
us and we don’t have to work as hard,” she
says. “Between my plant choices and chickens, I haven’t had a pest problem in 20 years.”

Ready to plant
April 15 is commonly known as the last
day for frost. It’s fairly safe to plant greens,
beans, parsley, herbs and flowers then, but
Hankin recommends waiting to plant peppers, tomatoes and melons. Even if they
are on sale at garden nurseries, they do not
like the colder weather and at the very least
need a cold frame to keep them warm.
Additional steps that lead to sustainability and the best use of your yard include
composting leaves and food scraps, reusing gray water with catchment systems,
and establishing perennials that will be
the mainstay of your yard and provide
food for years to come.
Above all, embrace the process. Gardening successfully doesn’t happen overnight.
Even Bloom admits that it’s a lifelong
learning process.

In every community there are citizens and organizations who make life better for
the rest of us. Here are a few that came to our attention this month, along with some
opportunities for us all to give back.
The Boeing Company
recognized for their
commitment to the
community by Edmonds CC
The Edmonds Community College Board
of Trustees recognized The Boeing Company for its 100 years of service through global
impact in the aerospace industry and commitment to the local community with a resolution during their March board meeting.
The resolution highlighted Boeing’s continuous financial support of Edmonds CC
Foundation’s scholarships and emergency
student assistance programs along with
the company’s commitment to student
success by hiring Edmonds CC graduates.
Boeing, which is celebrating its centennial year, annually donates $53 million in
the areas of education, health and human
services, arts and culture, environment,
and civic engagement.
“Our faculty, staff, and students are incredibly fortunate to have a global leader
like The Boeing Company in our community,” said Edmonds CC President Jean
Hernandez. “We are excited as a college to
continue to prepare our students to become
the future leaders of The Boeing Company
for the next 100 years and beyond.”
“The anniversary of our first 100 years is
an opportunity to celebrate with everyone
who made this historic milestone possible,
including our employees, customers, and
communities,” said Leslie Hazzard, Boeing Commercial Airplanes leader for the
Boeing Centennial. “We appreciate our
longstanding relationship with Edmonds
Community College, and we thank them
for their partnership in helping us build
a better future by inspiring and educating
the next generation of aerospace leaders.”

Northwest Kidney Centers
Breakfast of Hope May 5
Northwest Kidney Centers 14th annual
Breakfast of Hope will be held Thursday,
May 5 to raise money for patient support
services. It runs from 7:30 to 8:45 a.m. at
the Westin Seattle, 1900 Fifth Ave. Jean
Enersen, host of KING 5’s “HealthLink,”
will be the master of ceremonies.
Keynote speaker will be Ben Ruback
of Boston, a passionate advocate for the
rights of kidney patients. Ruback has been
without working kidneys since he was in
the fourth grade, 20 years ago. While on
life-sustaining dialysis, he earned a degree
from Harvard and embarked on a career
teaching high school chemistry. He uses
his personal health experience to bring
science to life and inspire his students.
Why is this event important? It not
only helps Northwest Kidney Centers
patients, but the community as a whole.
Did you know:
1 in 10 adult Americans have chronic
kidney disease. Because the disease is
without symptoms, most don’t know
until the damage is severe.
Kidney damage can be slowed with
nutrition, exercise and medication.
Philanthropy helps fund Northwest
Kidney Centers programs that
promote transplantation, educate
the public, support kidney research,
and offer charity care.
Forty-two percent of Northwest
Kidney Centers’ patients live in
poverty. Gifts help patients whose
insurance does not fully cover dialysis
or medications. Charity care also
UNIQUELYNW.COM/SNO
provides transportation assistance,
emergency grants and nutritional
supplements to patients in need.
The event is free to attend thanks to underwriting from sponsors, and a $150 donation
is recommended. To register, visit www.nwkidney.org/breakfast, phone 206.720.8585 or

Medicine receives high
marks in Washington
Health Alliance survey
In a Washington Health Alliance survey
sent to more than 181,000 patients in 14
Washington counties, communication is
found to be a key driver of satisfaction.
Eighty-seven percent of Edmonds Family Medicine respondents gave them the
highest rating in this category.
The results of this nationally developed and
standardized survey rate patients’ experiences with Washington state primary care providers in hundreds of clinics and hospitals
across the state, and are summarized in five
categories: getting timely appointments, care
and information; how well providers communicate with patients; how well providers
use information to coordinate care; helpful,
courteous and respectful office staff; and the
patient’s overall rating of the provider.
Edmonds Family Medicine (EFM)
ranked in the top 8% of clinics by achieving results better than the state average in
at least four of the five categories.
“We are so pleased to see this affirmation of our focus on comprehensive and
personalized care for every one of our patients,” said Andrew Thurman, MD, president of Edmonds Family Medicine.
According to Washington Health Alliance, research shows that excellent patient
experience improves clinical outcomes,
and is a highly valued outcome unto itself.
“Creating a pattern of positive patient
experience is very important,” said Susie
Dade, deputy director of the Alliance. “Re-
liably knowing what to expect from your
provider when you seek care creates trust
and lays the foundation for improving the
health and well-being of the patient.”

Spring Propagation
Bulbs have sprouted up in your garden.
Crocus, grape hyacinths, and daffodils are
blooming in whites, yellows and purples, and
perhaps they have for many years. Tulips and
irises will delight you in their own time.
All of this is above ground, but have you
thought about what goes on beneath the soil?
Each year we enjoy these lovely perennials, from a diminutive three- or four-inches to a statuesque three-and-a-half-feet
tall. Although the look of a thick clump of
blooms above ground is elegant, most benefit from division beneath.
You will also benefit, with proper technique, by propagating your plants from
the fleshy bulbs. Bulbs are specialized plant
structures that allow plants to reproduce
By Kathleen LaFrancis Eaton, Ph.D., Master Gardener
asexually — that is, without seeds. Typically, growing from a bulb is faster than from
seed because there is already a shoot and
food stores that are actually fleshy leaves.
The end of the bulb that is opposite of the
shoot is the basal plate where roots grow.
Dividing flower bulbs
When should I divide flower bulbs? The
answer is six to eight weeks after the plant
has bloomed. Proper care includes leaving
the foliage until it withers and browns before
cutting it to the ground. This not only restores and feeds the plant, it allows the bulbs
to reproduce. Planning is essential because
the best time to divide is when the foliage
has withered and been cut. However, by that
time you may not remember the beautiful
bloom that dried brown clipping represents.
Take photographs of your garden and
place a labelled marker in the ground where
every plant grows, not just the ones you intend to separate! This will help prevent over
planting another specimen that blooms too
close or at the same time. Even if you don’t
know the name of a plant, describe or number it until it can be identified using the
photographs you’ve taken. Then replace the
numbered label with its proper name.
When there are no plants next to labels in
the garden, you’re ready to dig.
How do I divide bulbs? First, gather more
blank labels for the bulbs if you are digging
more than one kind at a time.
Second, have a plan for your harvest. Are
there a few bare places in your yard where
you’d like to plant these same flowers? If so,
it’s a good idea to have those sites prepared
to plant right away.
Third, if you aren’t using your bulbs
right away you’ll need temporary storage
containers and labels for the extra bulbs
you dig up. Be prepared to rinse the bulbs

Three essentials for maximizing
a small kitchen remodel By Rebecca West
If your kitchen is as low on space as it is
on style, then a successful remodel has to
be about a lot more than pretty surfaces.
There are three key ingredients to consider when making the most of your cozy
cooking space.

APRIL 2016
Flow in a small kitchen has less to do
with the classic work triangle (meaning
the relative positions of your sink, stove,
and fridge) and more to do with making
sure you have counter space on all sides
of your primary work stations. A small
kitchen often puts limits on where you can
place those three items, especially if you
have more than one doorway connected to
the kitchen, if you have windows where it
feels natural to place the sink, or if you are
trying to put a dishwasher into a tight corner. If you can, be sure to have at least nine
to twelve inches of counter on both sides
of your sink and your stove. If you have to
make a sacrifice, keep extra counter space
on the side of your dominant hand (i.e.,
if you are right handed, be sure to have
counter space on the right side of your
cooktop for setting down spoons, etc).
Having a small space generally means no
island will fit into the kitchen, but don’t be
afraid to try — even a small sixteen inch
deep surface can be incredibly useful in a
tight space. The rule of thumb is to leave
at least 42” of aisle space from one surface
to another, and make sure you don’t have
to walk around an island to go from one
primary station (like the sink) to another
(like the fridge). Try out your island idea
for a week or two by putting a small table
in the middle of your kitchen or taping it
UNIQUELYNW.COM/SNO
out on the floor before you commit.
Feeling big
Many people wrongly assume that
small spaces need small things. In fact,
small floor tiles and busy backsplashes
can make a tiny kitchen feel even tighter.
Larger format tiles (at least twelve inches
square) reduce the number of grout lines
in an area and not only make the room
less chopped up, but also make for a more
cleanable surface.
People also fear using dark colors in a
small space. While using all dark surfaces would certainly close in a room, using
contrast can actually add to a bright and
open feeling. Consider a darker floor in
a kitchen with white cabinets, and a medium or light toned counter. The darker
floors will anchor the space, and make
the white cabinets look even brighter and
more fresh.
Most importantly, pay attention to your
lighting when trying to maximize a small
space. You might expect that recessed
lighting would make lower ceilings feeling
higher, since nothing sticks down into the
room. In fact, since recessed lights only
shine downward, they leave the ceiling in
shadow and can create just the opposite
effect. Be sure to light in layers, making
good use of under-cabinet lighting, pendant lights, and surface lights in addition
to (or even in place of) can lighting.
Creating space
Of course the number one key to creating space is to have less stuff. Before embarking on any kitchen remodel, consider
what you own, and what you use. As you
plan your new cabinet layout, determine
what needs to be right at hand, what can
be stored out of reach, and what should
be given to charity. Get back to the essentials (for example, an everyday cook really
only needs three good knives — a paring
knife, a chef ’s knife, and a bread/serrated
knife). Eliminate all the As-Seen-On-TV
toys cluttering your cabinets and precious
countertops. A clear counter will go a long
way to making your kitchen feel spacious.
Before you get cooking
Careful planning really can make the
most of a small kitchen. Before you start
to demo the old space, spend a few weeks
keeping a list of the things in your space
that really work well, and the things that
especially aggravate you. If you are new to
your home try to use the existing space for
at least six months before you dive in to a
remodel so you understand how you live
in the new house. Consider how you live
and how you want to live, and then be sure
to communicate all that to the professionals on your team, whether that is just your
contractor or you also have an architect or
designer on board. The more you are clear
about what you need from your space, the
more likely you are to get just what you
wanted.

Family owned and operated
Buying a house is arguably the biggest
purchase you’ll ever make — unless, that
is, your car tastes run toward the Lamborghini Veneno or you simply can’t bring
yourself to sport a less than 12-carot diamond ring. But if you have normal-people
car and jewelry tastes, a house is going to
be up there in your top-purchase spot.
First-time buyers have many questions
about the process, but the one that is usually uppermost is, “How much money are
we going to have to come up with to make
this happen?” To find the answer to that,
I have to ask a few questions for you:
1. Where would you like to live?
If you’re willing to move to a rural area,
the government offers USDA Home Loans
for houses within specifically designated
areas. Your real estate broker can show
you the current map, but in general, the
Snohomish County USDA territory runs
east of Hwy 9 and west of I-5 from Tulalip
north, and everything north of Smokey
Point to the county border. Again, those
borders can and do change, so seek the
advice of your broker. You do have to meet
certain income and credit standards for
this program, but the beauty of this program is that it requires no down payment
— 100% of the mortgage is funded.
You are the spouse of a service member
who was killed in the line of duty
3. Are you willing to take a
free five-hour seminar?
If so, and if your household income does
not exceed the cap set (currently $94,600
statewide), you may qualify for a state bond
program offered through select participating lenders. These programs offer down
payment assistance that can help you with
your down payment as well as some of your
closing costs (up to 4% total).
4 . If none of the above applies
to you, can you qualify for a conventional
loan or an FHA loan? Like USDA and VA
loans, FHA loans are government-backed,
which means that the loans are guaranteed. Where USDA and VA are zero
down, FHA loans typically require 3.5%.
But conventional loans — which have no
government guarantee and are therefore
riskier for the lender — require a higher
credit score and a greater down payment.
Depending on your credit, you may qualify for a 5% or 10% down payment, but
20% is more typical.
5. Do you have funds
for your closing costs?
A very general rule of thumb for closing
2. Have you served in the military? costs is 3% of the purchase price. Those
If so, you may be eligible for a zero-down
VA home loan. To qualify for this loan,
you must meet one of these requirements:
Served 181 active duty
days during peacetime Served 90 active duty
days during wartime
Served 6 years in the
Reserves or National Guard costs include any loan origination fee, appraisal fee, credit report, tax service, recording charges, transfer taxes, half of the
escrow fee, points, and any prepaid property taxes and insurance. But all is not lost
if you don’t have the funds to cover this
upfront. Quite often, buyers will roll the
closing costs into their mortgage by offering a higher price and asking the seller

English muffins
or crumpets?
There is nothing like a really good English muffin (or crumpet, if you’re in England), toasted just right and dripping
with butter, honey or jam. But English
muffins share a problem with most other
breads: they are highly salted.
You wouldn’t think bread is salty, would
you? Amazingly, bread is one of the top six
saltiest foods in the American diet. Salt is
a big contributor to the health challenges
we face with high blood pressure, diabetes
and kidney disease.
Hiding inside one English muffin is
about 200-plus milligrams of salt. If you
put regular butter on it, one muffin can
top out at over 350 milligrams, or 20 percent of your day’s allowance.
Serve that muffin with salty bacon or sausage and hash browns, and you are probably well over your 1,500- to 2,000-milligram daily limit before you walk out the
door for work.
Most English muffins keep a really long
time, another testament to their high sodium content. Some brands are dry, tasteless, unexciting disks. For a delicious,
healthy alternative, try this recipe for
making your own English muffins, which
are called crumpets in England. You can
cook them on a frying pan or griddle and
serve them right away for a special breakfast, or freeze them for use during the
week. You will need some sort of metal
ring to bake them in. The easiest way is
to use open cookie cutters or empty tuna
cans with the top and bottom removed.
Healthy Crumpets
¼ cup warm water
1 package yeast
2 teaspoons sugar
1 egg
½ cup milk
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup flour
Mix yeast and sugar in warm water. Let
stand about 5 minutes. Add egg, milk and
1 tablespoon of the butter. Stir in flour.
Let rise, covered, for about an hour. Wipe
heavy frying pan or griddle with butter,
and butter inside of each ring. Set rings
on frying pan and heat about 2 minutes.
Pour about ¼ cup batter into each ring.
Bake 5 to 6 minutes until holes appear in
the top (just like pancakes), and the tops
look dry. Pull rings off and turn onto other side to brown. Serve warm with honey,
homemade jam or peanut butter; or cool
on wire rack. Makes 8.

healthy and blood pressure down by following a low-sodium diet. In most cases, except
for dialysis patients, a diet high in potassium is thought to help lower high blood
pressure. These recipes are not intended for
people on dialysis without the supervision

Recognizing eating
disorder warning
signs can save lives
“I can’t believe that this is my life.” Those
words rang through Carrie’s mind over
and over again as she lay on her parents’
cold bathroom floor. This was the moment
Carrie realized that her eating disorder
was destroying her life. “It was all I knew
and it got to the point where it was all I
had. I hit rock bottom. My eating disorder,
my life, my thought patterns were out of
control,” Carrie recalled. “I knew I either
had to get help or I was going to continue
this slow suicide path that I was on.”
Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness.
After intense treatment at a center for
eating disorders, Carrie conquered her
battle with eating. But it wasn’t easy.
“The road to recovery from an eating
disorder is a long and arduous path that
is often frustrating and misunderstood,”
explains Denise Styer, Psy.D., clinical director at AMITA Health Center for Eating Disorders. “It does not make sense to
the general public. Why would someone
purposely not allow themselves to eat
the necessary amount of nutrients to fuel
their mind/body, or consistently overeat
more than what their body needs, or even
eat but then purposely rid their body of
these nutrients?”
According to Styer, the reasons are vast.
The underlying themes often consist of
“feeling the only thing controllable is what
they put in their body,” “punishment for
not obtaining a goal or meeting an expectation,” “self-loathing for their body,” and
“if my body is childlike, maybe I don’t
have to grow up.”
“Recovery from an eating disorder is a
tricky thing, “ Carrie shares. “The alcoholic can remove alcohol completely from
their lives. Same goes for the drug addict.
Someone with an eating disorder cannot
eliminate food, so the temptation is always there.”
Carrie is not alone. Up to 30 million people of all ages and genders suffer from an
eating disorder in the U.S., according to
the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD).
In fact, more than half of teenage girls
and nearly one-third of teenage boys use
unhealthy weight control behaviors such
as skipping meals, fasting, smoking cigarettes, vomiting, and taking laxatives. Additionally, eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness.
One recent study found that individuals
diagnosed with anorexia nervosa were five
times more likely to die early than those in
the non-eating disorder population.
For many who struggle, an eating disorder can go undetected. School age
children with eating disorders may have
stellar grades and excel in athletics and
extracurricular activities. Adults with eating disorders may have successful careers
and present as put together. But there are
warning signs. Here are a few indicators
that someone has an eating disorder:
Skip meals, limit calories, or
cut out certain food groups
Spend a lot of time thinking
about food or behaviors to
control what’s going on in life
Spend time thinking about,
dealing with, or avoiding food
rather than hanging out with friends
Have relationship with food and/or
body that impacts ability to manage
work, school, or relationships
Binge eat or emotionally eat
Use diuretics, laxatives, diet pills,
or vomit in order to lose weight
Consider yourself overweight
even though you are underweight
Have thoughts that revolve around
food and body image or behaviors
associated with food and weight
Sacrifice time with friends
and family to exercise
“Consultation with a professional trained
in eating disorders is a must in starting the
road to recovery,” says Styer. “It is so important to be involved in treatment by attending family groups, eating disorder support
groups, and if you are the support person —
finding your own therapist so you have that
designated person who can support you
while you support your loved one.”

Taproot Theatre revives
Cotton Patch Gospel
Now through April 23
It’s a rare play that can boast favorable reviews from both Rolling Stone and Christianity Today. That’s why Taproot Theatre
has revamped this bluegrass musical,
based on the story of Jesus’ life, and put it
back on Taproot’s stage through April 23.
Taproot excels in small ensemble musicals, and this one has a stellar cast. Randy
Scholz magnificently transforms into 20
completely distinct and believable characters to tell the bulk of the story. Theresa
Holmes, Edd Key, Sam Vance, and Benjamin Hunter back him up with superior
musicianship that completes the experience. This gem, directed by Karen Lund,
with music and lyrics by Harry Chapin, is
funny, thought-provoking and delightful.
Tickets are on sale through the Taproot

The Pacific Jazz Institute at Dimitriou’s
Jazz Alley welcomes Grammy-nominated
jazz vocalist Jane Monheit and her band
for four nights and six shows in support
of her new release The Songbook Sessions:
Ella Fitzgerald.
On this new offering, Monheit pays
joyous tribute to Ella while sharing a definitive portrait of herself, guided by her
producer, arranger, and trumpet great,
Nicholas Payton. “This record is really
different. It’s the first recording I’ve made
without a label and so I was able to make
all the decisions myself. Honestly, when I
listened back to the takes, I heard a different singer than I’ve heard before — a
more mature one. It was a little scary because there’s a certain raw quality to some
of the vocals but we gave no thought to
fixing them. These were the vocals of a
38-year-old woman with a lot of life experience.” Throughout the recording, Jane’s
gorgeous upward swoop is pure Ella, her
earthy wordless phrases pure Sarah, but
this album is a classic example of a singer
leading her influences rather than being
led by them.
Band members are Michael Kanan (piano), Neal Miner (bass) and Rick Montalbano (drums). Show times are Thursday at
7:30pm, Friday and Saturday at 7:30pm and
9:30pm, Sunday at 7:30pm. Doors at 6pm
Thursday and 5:30pm Friday – Sunday.

It’s time. You know it was bound to come
up eventually and that time is now. In a
society as vibrant and stimulating as ours,
how could it not? Of course, I speak of the
live and active culture of yogurt.
Perhaps it is the curdled milk forgotten at the back of the fridge, or all the
sour grapes being shot from slings in this
scrappy political season, but I am in touch
with my acidophilus more than ever.
And with good reason. The more boom
we Boomers desire in our step, the more
we are told to get more calcium in our
diet. Calcium keeps our bones strong, and
strong bones keep us upright and steady
on our feet. Hips are less prone to break,
and that means we can high-step our way
into fruitful longevity.
We high kickers know to eat our yogurt.
We know that Greek yogurt’s the best,
with twice the protein of regular yogurt.
And leave it to the yogurt geniuses to
even improve on that. Now they mix Chia
seeds in by the handfuls. Turns out those
Chia pets we kept getting Uncle Lester for
Christmas actually pack an antioxidant
and omega-3 punch. Wait until we tell
Lester next Christmas he can grow a pet
and eat it too.
Best thing, eat your yogurt. More calcium. Good bacteria. Smooth digestive
tract. Happy belly.
Thank the nomads of the Central Asian
plain for carting milk about in goatskin
sacks, the sacks’ warm interiors incubating the fermentation process and turning
milk — from cows, camels, buffalos, and
yaks to name a few of their domesticated mammals — into creamy smooth deliciousness. What respectable gym bag,
lunchbox, or brief case today would be
without it? At least, that’s what the commercial yogurt giants want you to believe,
and judging from the supermarket shelf
space devoted to yogurt these days, they
might just be right.
But what did I tell you many columns
ago? Without controversy, there is no story.
Cue controversy.
The New York Times reported in January that General Mills, maker of Yoplait
yogurt, sued Chobani yogurt for its lat-
est advertising campaign sniping at both
Dannon’s and Yoplait’s use of artificial
sweeteners and preservatives. General
Mills countered that everything in its yogurt is safe and FDA-approved. The good
folks at Chobani rolled their eyes and said
theirs is the only nationally distributed
Greek yogurt without a trace of the aforementioned sweeteners and preservatives.
You and I might be tempted to say, “Big
whoop!” According to Webster’s Dictionary, yogurt of any sort is still just “a fermented, slightly acid, often flavored semisolid food made of whole or skimmed
milk … to which cultures of two bacteria
— Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus — have been added.”
Webster likely never got invited to many
parties with a mouth like that.
Stop and think. How many other bacterial ingredients containing 25 letters do
you put into your body?
Let’s get a grip. Maybe if we take the
Philly cheesesteaks and pineapple danish out of the campaign stop potlucks
and replace them with skinny blackberry
Chia yogurt cups and veggie chips, we’ll
get reasonable leadership come November. Bacteria can do that. Forget “No new
taxes!” Instead, let “Contented guts!” and
“Less constipation!” be our battle cry.
Who wouldn’t vote for that?
Don’t laugh. In the early 1900s, the Russian scientist Elie Metchnikoff noticed
that rural Bulgarians were living a very
long time and their diet was rich in yogurt. He concluded that yogurt’s bacterial
cultures might just put the brakes on the
natural effects of aging.
Of course, you can make your own yogurt, which purists say is better for you
than many of the ubiquitous flavored and
sugar-infused yogurt cups now on the
market. And you can bake, sauce, slaw,
drizzle, dress, dip, and smoothie with it, to
name a few versatile ways to sneak it into
your diet and the diet of those you love.

It’s time to Take A Stand
By AARP Advocacy Director Cathy MacCaul
It’s a promise that’s been kept for generations. You pay into Social Security, you
get the benefits you earned. But to keep
that promise for future generations, Social
Security needs to be updated for the 21st
century. If our leaders don’t act, future
retirees could lose up $10,000 a year. Every year our leaders wait and do nothing,
finding a solution grows more difficult.
The only way to make progress is for our
national leaders to make Social Security a
priority and put serious proposals on the
table. And it starts with Presidential leadership. Anyone who thinks they’re ready
to be President of the United States should
be able to tell voters how they’ll keep Social Security strong.
That’s why AARP is pressing every candidate to “Take A Stand” — and lay out
their plan to update Social Security so it’s
financially sound with adequate benefits.
Throughout the election, we will urge the
candidates to debate their proposals so
you know how they will affect you, your
kids, and generations to come.
Every candidate who offers a plan will be
highlighted on the Take a Stand website.
2016takeastand.org is a one-stop resource
where voters can find out if a candidate
has a plan, and read a real-time feed with
their latest comments about Social Security. Voters can also contact the candidates
and urge them to show how they would
lead by putting forward their plan to keep
Social Security strong.
Throughout the 2016 election, our focus will remain on demanding every
presidential candidate offer their plan to
update Social Security. We remain committed to our principles for keeping Social
Security strong, but the greatest service
we can provide to our members and all
voters is facilitating a real national debate
so the next President and Congress will
make updating Social Security a priority.
Join us in calling on every presidential
candidate to tell American voters what
their plans are to keep Social Security
strong — visit 2016takeastand.org today!
But don’t stop there, share the website
with your friends and family to get them
involved as well and help us spread the
word even farther. Also be sure to keep
this issue top of mind when considering
congressional candidates this Fall. Together, we can get the candidates to give
us real details about how they’ll lead when
it comes to this vital program.
Check out Yogurt Culture by Cheryl Sternman Rule for the inside scoop on yogurt
and some wonderful recipes incorporating yogurt, such as “Green Apple Scones
with Cider Glaze” and “Oven-Baked Tarragon-Scented Salmon.”
We’ll give George Costanza from Seinfeld the last word: “How could this not
have any fat? It’s too good!”

Pet of the Month, Jill
Gorgeous and lovable, Jill is a six-anda-half-year-old brindle Plott Hound who
eagerly awaits a forever home where she
can romp around with fellow dogs, explore
the great outdoors, and go for quiet walks.
Jill is a bit on the shy side and would do
well in a home where she receives routine
training to build up her canine confidence.
Her personality shines in the company of
other dogs and she is longing for a family
who has a four-legged playmate to fill her
Spring Propagation
and about eight inches deep so as not to
damage bulbs. If you haven’t done this in
a a few years, prepare to be amazed at how
many you find! The longer you’ve waited,
the more gentle your approach, and larger
and deeper your hole should be.
Many other plants grow from bulbs and
should be divided in the spring, including:
amaryllis, cyclamen, lilies, dahlias, caladium, elephant ears, and rhubarb.
What else can be propagated? Lots of
things! You can start many kinds of plants
from seed outdoors, but take into account
the Northwest’s relatively short growing
season. Even vegetable varieties with short
maturation times (less than 80 days) do
better with a jump start from seed indoors.
For this reason, most people prefer to grow
vegetables from starts.

days with adventure and fun. This regal girl
has lots of love to give and she could be the
perfect addition to your family. With a little care, love and patience you will see just
how adoring Jill truly is.
Homeward Pet is located at 13132 NE
177th Place in Woodinville and open for
visitors between 12pm and 6pm, Wednesday through Sunday.
See all its adoptable cats, kittens, dogs
and puppies at www.homewardpet.org.
Hostas are easily divided by slicing when
their spring tips are beginning to show.
Simply loosen the soil on one side of the
plant clump and slice up to one-half the
size (this can be cut into thirds) of the
mother plant. Fill the hole with soil. The
remaining half will regrow.
Different plants have various types of
structures that can be divided for propagation. Some can produce flowers within
a year; others require several years to fully
mature. An excellent resource for the adventurous can be found in an article sponsored
by Washington State Extension at http://
tinyurl.com/digbulb.
Great herb and vegetable starts can be
found at the Snohomish County MG Annual Plant Sale Saturday, May 7, 9 AM-2
PM at McCollum Park.
to cover the closing costs. For example, if
you’re purchasing a house that is $500,000
and your lender has told you that the closing costs will be around $12,000, you could
offer $512,000 and ask the seller to pay the
closing costs. The bottom line to the seller is
the same as if you had offered $500,000 and
paid those costs yourself. The only problem
that can arise with this scenario is if the appraisal comes in at less zthan your inflated
offer. Then the negotiation must begin.
If this is confusing, just make an appointment with your real estate broker
and ask him or her to walk you through
your options. Although ideally, you’d have
all sorts of cash reserves behind you when
you buy your house, it really is possible to
come in with a minimal amount of cash.
That leaves you more money for Lamborghinis and diamonds.
