Bladensburg PD Communications Restored!
As a long-time resident of Mount Rainier and a homeowner, it is important to me that municipal government be inclusive of all of its residents.
It is equally important that information be communicated through all possible channel so that residents can get involved.
It is also important for residents to volunteer and serve on committees, commissions, boards and task forces.
I truly believe that municipal government is the government closes to the people, and as such should be easily accessible.

Mayor and Council Goes on Recess
WHOOPEE! The Mayor and Council just completed their last meeting for this fiscal year and are on break until the First Tuesday in September! Special meetings will be held as needed to get us through the summer, but NO heavy lifting. Down time.
All City staff will be in place and working, and Mayor and Council will be as close our cell phones and emails. Work will continue to be done, but we will reduce the number of meetings held and spend some quality time with family and friends without having to give up ALL of our Tuesdays.
PLEASE enjoy the summer.

Prevent Blindness -- Get YOUR EYES Checked
Some of you may know that I have been going through with my eyes. A medical friend of mine just sent me this, and I wanted to share it with you. Today's technology is awesome, but ONLY, if YOU act in time. I was blessed, and so far, my sight, though not 20/20 is much better than it would have been had I not been seeing my eye doctor regularly. Here is some information that MAY be useful. Awareness Makes a Difference!
Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) -- Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a deterioration or breakdown of the eye's macula. The macula is a small area in the retina — the light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye. The macula is the part of the retina that is responsible for your central vision, allowing you to see fine details clearly.
With macular degeneration, you may have symptoms such as blurriness, dark areas or distortion in your central vision, and perhaps permanent loss of your central vision. It usually does not affect your side, or peripheral vision. For example, with advanced macular degeneration, you could see the outline of a clock, yet may not be able to see the hands of the clock to tell what time it is.
Causes of macular degeneration include the formation of deposits called drusen under the retina, and in some cases, the growth of abnormal blood vessels under the retina. With or without treatment, macular degeneration alone almost never causes total blindness. People with more advanced cases of macular degeneration continue to have useful vision using their side, or peripheral vision. In many cases, macular degeneration's impact on your vision can be minimal.
When macular degeneration does lead to loss of vision, it usually begins in just one eye, though it may affect the other eye later.
Many people are not aware that they have macular degeneration until they have a noticeable vision problem or until it is detected during an eye examination.
There are two types of macular degeneration:
Dry, or atrophic, macular degeneration (also called non-neovascular macular degeneration) with drusen, and,
Wet, or exudative, macular degeneration (also called neovascular macular degeneration)
(PLEASE PLEASE have your eyes checked. The possibility of going blind can be real, and is not reversable.)
