Carmen Best once rejected is Seattle mayors pick for top cop Citizens have a lot of questions about how this went Mayor Jenny Durkan nominated Carmen Best as chief of the Seattle Police Department passing up two outsider candidates after a monthslong national search with several surprise twists By Steve Miletich and Daniel Beekman Seattle Times staff reporters After weeks of twists and turns in the end Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan surprised almost no one when she named interim Police Chief Carmen Best her nominee for the permanent job Tuesday choosing a local favorite over a pair of outside candidates In an anticlimactic news conference at City Hall Durkan opted to focus on the moment rather than dwell on the dramatic events that led her to select Best a 26year Seattle police veteran after the mayors advisers initially left Best off the list of finalists Everyone knows Chief Best and knows she can deliver results Durkan said of what could be her most important decision since taking office last year She knows our city and our officers She has worked in every neighborhood and understands the unique publicsafety challenges facing every one of our communities the mayor said adding She has an unparalleled work ethic You cant keep up with her Pending confirmation by the City Council the mayors pick will oversee a force of more than 1400 officers and lead a police department still working to earn community trust after six years of federally mandated courtordered reforms We will move ahead with a culture of continuous improvement and innovation at the Seattle Police Department Best said This is what I expect It is what our community deserves At Durkans request Best who had risen to the rank of deputy chief began serving as interim chief Jan 1 after Kathleen OToole stepped down from the position Best is the first AfricanAmerican woman to serve as interim chief and if confirmed would become the first permanent AfricanAmerican chief in the departments history Best applied for the permanent position but after a monthslong search process she wasnt among three candidates initially forwarded to Durkan as finalists for the chief job The three were chosen by mayoral advisers in May from a list of five semifinalists including Best submitted by a search committee At the time some involved in the search said an outsider would be better suited to continue reforming the department Bests exclusion drew intense criticism from community leaders and from the Seattle Police Officers Guild SPOG who cited her reform work and the trust she had established in the community and with departments rank and file With Durkans selection nearing the mayors advisers put Best back in the running this month after former Pittsburgh Police Chief Cameron McLay suddenly dropped his candidacy and began conversations with Durkan to work as an adviser to the city on police reform At that stage Durkan opted to choose Best in what was viewed as an elegant solution to a difficult political problem even as the search process continued The Seattle Times reported July 8 quoting sources Tuesdays news conference grew somewhat tense as reporters repeatedly asked Durkan to explain why Best had been first overlooked and then selected In response the mayor said that while some found the process to be intriguing she was focused on hiring the best police chief She noted she accepted input throughout the selection process up through last week She said Best 53 was the right candidate for the job because she understands how rapid growth is changing Seattle and because she has helped push reforms While the potential role of McLay a nationally recognized police reformer has yet to be defined Durkan said Tuesday that there will be only one police chief Her office said Durkan remained in talks with McLay but that he hasnt been formally offered a position Enrique Gonzalez a cochair of the Seattle Community Police Commission who had assailed the selection process when Best was initially passed over said Tuesday the commission will be pleased to work with her But Gonzalez said members of the citizen advisory body still want to sit down with Durkan to figure out exactly how we got here There are a lot of questions to be answered as to how it happened he said In a news release Councilmember M Lorena González said she will oversee the councils confirmation process in her role as chair of the publicsafety committee which will take up the nomination July 25 The council could vote on Bests nomination as early as Aug 13 she said The council will also be asked to vote on Bests salary if she is confirmed as chief OTooles salary when she was hired in 2014 was 250000 a year The chief selection is happening at a critical moment for Seattle which since 2012 has been subject to a federal consent decree that thenUS Attorney Durkan helped obtain requiring the police department to address excessive force and biased policing In January US District Judge James Robart determined the city to be in compliance with the decree triggering a twoyear review period in which the department must show its reforms are locked in The city also is negotiating with SPOG which represents more than 1300 officers and sergeants on a new contract considered key to carrying out policeaccountability reforms The union has been working without a contract since 2014 but it sent an email to its members last week that signaled a breakthrough in negotiations SPOG issued a statement Tuesday thanking Durkan for her decision and praising Best for her work establishing relationships with the many diverse communities in the city as well as the rank and file officers Ely Reyes an assistant chief in Austin Texas and Eddie Frizell a precinct inspector in Minneapolis were the other two finalists to become Seattles top cop Reyes who has built a reputation as an extremely intelligent officer offered his congratulations to Best on Tuesday and wished her the best of luck He said he was thankful for the opportunity to go through his first policechief selection process Frizell who couldnt be reached for comment heads up a downtown precinct where his campaigns to reduce violent crime have won acclaim and stirred controversy Best hired in 1992 has completed a variety of assignments for the Seattle police including stints in patrol school safety media relations and community outreach She also has worked as a patrol supervisor and operations lieutenant and has held command positions in the narcotics unit and the robbery gangs and fugitives unit She briefly served as South Precinct commander before a promotion to assistant chief of criminal investigations Shortly after OToole was appointed by Mayor Ed Murray in 2014 OToole named Best her deputy chief Known for her warm approach to interacting with community members Best twice Tuesday sought to lighten the atmosphere inside City Hall Taking the podium she compared the excitement surrounding her nomination to the anticipation of a video of Seattle police officers competing in a lipsync battle Thanking her husband Larry for his support throughout her career Best joked My husband often says hes the other man in my life because Im married to the job Now that Im chief Im really married to the job Then she burst out laughing Steve Miletich 2064643302 or smiletich

oxygen is delivered to the body As excessive oxygen can be harmful normobaric oxygen therapy should be regulated In the absence of correct medical supervision normobaric oxygen therapy can also cause heart disease inflammation diabetes and aging R Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is 100 saturated supplemental oxygen delivered at higher atmospheric pressures Patients are placed in a high pressure full body chamber hyperbaric chamber This increases oxygen delivery to all of the tissues of the body R Treatment schedules of hyperbaric oxygen therapy vary between 60 to 120 minutes 1 or more times daily R Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is approved for the treatment of a number of conditions such as air or gas embolisms burns diabetic wounds and traumatic ischemia Mechanism of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Blood is made up of 4 components Plasma red blood cells white blood cells and platelets Oxygen is transported through red blood cells that contain the protein hemoglobin Hemoglobin is an ironcontaining protein that oxygen can bind to R The only differences between normobaric and hyperbaric oxygen therapy are the pressure that theyre applied at and the method of delivery Both forms of therapy increase the amount of oxygen that is delivered in the blood R With hyperbaric oxygen therapy there is a 10 to 20 fold increase in blood plasma oxygen It also induces an increase in red blood cells R Clinically hyperbaric oxygen therapy promotes R Cell growth Reduction of swelling New blood vessel formation Tissue repair Wound healing Hyperbaric oxygen therapy causes the controlled release of reactive oxygen species ROS in damaged and infected tissues R The enhanced healing action of hyperbaric oxygen therapy is due to its direct antifungal activity mediated by reversal of fungal growth and restoration of protective immune response R Health Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy 1 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Can Treat Decompression Illness Scuba diving with a compressed air supply can cause decompression sickness and arterial gas embolism a potentially lethal event R Decompression sickness is caused by the formation of nitrogen bubbles in the blood and tissues of scuba divers who surface too quickly R Arterial gas embolisms happen after decompression sickness The gas bubbles in the bloodstream and tissues travel within the blood and block the supply of blood to the lungs pulmonary vein R According to the US Navy 6 treatment manual hyperbaric oxygen therapy is the preferred way to treat decompression sickness R Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is most successful in treating decompression illness within 24 hours of surfacing R In a clinical case report a single session of emergency hyperbaric oxygen therapy removed the gas and air bubbles in the patients blood vessels hip lower spine brain sinuses and joints R Hyperbaric oxygen therapy also protected rats from spinal cord injury during simulated diving R In rabbits hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduced lung injury caused by decompression sickness R 2 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Can Reverse Effects of Air Embolism Air embolism is caused by the introduction of air bubbles into the bloodstream those block arteries Air embolism is a rare but potentially fatal complication of surgical procedures and causes serious damage to the brain heart and lungs R Clinical symptoms of air embolism depend on the location of the air bubble in the body Early treatment is critical for survival R A clinical case study of a patient suffering from an air embolism after open heart surgery showed complete recovery after 7 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy R A clinical case study of an immunocompromised patient with air embolism showed that emergency hyperbaric oxygen therapy cured brain ischemic stroke symptoms caused by an invasive fungal infection R 3 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Cures Carbon Monoxide and Cyanide Poisoning Carbon monoxide can displace oxygen in the blood This reduces the amount of oxygen supplied to tissues In a populationbased study of 7287 patients suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduced the death rate and improved patient lifespan Therapy was more effective in younger patients 20 and patients with acute lung failure R In rats with acute carbon monoxide poisoning hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduced brain damage and behavior abnormalities R Adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy also protected rats from oxygen toxicity caused by cyanide poisoning R 4 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Improves Vision Loss Obstruction of eye blood vessels central retinal artery and vein occlusion and branch retinal artery occlusion is a common cause of blindness in elderly patients R In order for therapy to be successful hyperbaric oxygen therapy should be prescribed in the first 24 hours after the onset of vision loss In 2 elderly patients with acute blindness 8 to 9 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy significantly improved sight R In young people certain genetic mutations factor V Leiden mutation methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase mutation can also block the retinal artery and vein R R Supplemental hyperbaric oxygen therapy for 20 days prompted visual recovery of a teenager with branch retinal artery occlusion caused by a mutation in the protein methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase MTHFR gene R In a patient with combined central retinal artery and vein occlusions caused by factor V Leiden mutation urgent administration of 9 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy improved vision R In one rare case exposure to high altitude can block the retinal artery and cause vision loss A patient suffering from visual loss due to high altitude exposure regained her sight after treatment with hyperbaric oxygen therapy for 11 days R Along with increasing oxygen supply to the eyes tissues hyperbaric oxygen therapy also reduces swelling of the retina R R R 5 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Can Heal Tissue Infections Bacterial infections can destroy necrosis soft tissues and if left untreated can be lifethreatening Fournier gangrene gas gangrene and necrotizing fasciitis A review of 1583 patient reports found that supplemental hyperbaric oxygen therapy cured severe cases of soft tissue bacterial infections and increased survival R In bacterial infections hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduced swelling stimulated tissue growth inhibited bacterial toxin production enhanced antibiotic efficiency and protected against infections R 6 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Reduces Chronic Pain Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in 60 patients RCT with chronic pain disorder fibromyalgia for 8 weeks improved brain and nerve activity R In a patient suffering from chronic musclebone disease Complex Regional Pain Syndrome 3 weeks of hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduced swelling pain and improved motion of the lower limbs R As hyperbaric oxygen therapy decreases pain it also reduces dependence on painkillers in patients with chronic pain R Cellular death of bone tissue osteonecrosis is most commonly attributed to an interruption of blood supply In multiple bone cell studies osteoblastsosteoclasts hyperbaric oxygen therapy promoted the generation of bone mass and prevented bone loss R R 7 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Benefits Skin Ulcers In 35 patients with treatmentresistant skin ulcers vasculitis a 4week course of hyperbaric oxygen therapy improved recovery in 80 of the patients R Similarly in a patient suffering from treatmentresistant skin ulcers 4 weeks of hyperbaric oxygen therapy promoted complete recovery R 8 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy May Improve

patients with traumatic brain injuries showed that hyperbaric oxygen therapy significantly improved survival rate R A systematic review of 11 studies with 705 patients RCT determined that hyperbaric oxygen therapy decreased disability and improve brain activity R In a 2yearold girl suffering from a brain injury 27 days of hyperbaric oxygen therapy restored the loss of brain tissue and resulted in complete recovery R However a metaanalysis of 571 patients with traumatic brain injury showed that using hyperbaric oxygen therapy in addition to standard treatments was not beneficial Patients had improved survival outcomes initially but longterm symptoms remained in those who were not treated immediately R In multiple rat models of brain injury hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduced inflammation inhibited nerve injury increased the growth of nerve cells and blood vessels and reduced pain R R R R R In rats hyperbaric oxygen therapy protected the brain by decreasing the production of inflammatory factors and improving the antioxidant defense pathways R R In rat models hyperbaric oxygen therapy induced the production of heat shock proteins and cellular pathways that protect spinal neurons against oxidative injury R R A study with immune cells from severely injured patients found that a single session of hyperbaric oxygen therapy suppressed inflammation R 9 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Improves Diabetic Ulcers Diabetic foot ulcers and chronic kidney diseases are common causes of reduced blood flow in arteries In a clinical study 146 patients treated with supplementary hyperbaric oxygen therapy were found to recover from chronic diabetic foot ulcers R In 2 patients with chronic kidney disease 20 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in addition to standard therapies completely cured ulcers R A metaanalysis of 9 studies RCTs consisting of 526 patients concluded that hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a beneficial therapy for foot ulcers R In a diabetic rat model hyperbaric oxygen therapy for 6 weeks reduced inflammation increased blood flow and improved wound healing R 10 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Can Improve Hearing Loss The sensorineural hearing loss is a condition caused by loss of nerves or cells within the ear It accounts for about 90 of hearing loss and deafness R A review of clinical data from 167 patients showed that adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy is effective in treating patients with sensorineural hearing loss R In guinea pigs hyperbaric oxygen therapy for 4 weeks upregulated protective enzymes in the inner ear cochlea R 11 Hyperbaric

reoperation and an improved longterm outcome of patients with spontaneous brain abscess R 13 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Can Benefit Fungal InfectionS Mucormycosis a lifethreatening invasive fungal infection affects people with a suppressed immune response R A patient with a blood disorder thalassemia was found to be cured of fungal wound infections after 40 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy R Twenty sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy also cleared a fungal infection in an elderly patient with diabetes and liver failure R Hyperbaric oxygen therapy also increases the production of free radicals which helps to combat fungus R However longterm production of free radicals can result in oxidative stress and cell damage R 14 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Reduces Bone Infections Osteomyelitis is the infection of bone or bone marrow and is usually caused by bacteria A review of 181 patient case reports found that hyperbaric oxygen therapy cured 826 of patients with recurrent chronic bone infection R In animal studies hyperbaric oxygen therapy promoted bone regeneration following injury and surgery R R 15 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Can Improve Recovery from Radiotherapy Frequent use of radiation therapy on cancer cells results in injuries of normal tissues surrounding the tumors A review of 14 studies with 753 participants RCTs concluded that hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduced the radiation injury caused in the head neck anus and rectum R In 57 breast cancer patients 47 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy decreased tissue toxicity pain and oversensitivity of the affected areas R A breast cancer patient with skin ulcer that developed 25 years after therapy completely recovered after 101 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy R Radiation cystitis is a complication caused by the inflammation of the bladder cystitis during radiotherapy of the hip region pelvic in patients with urological cancers In 12 patients with radiation cystitis hyperbaric oxygen therapy improved symptoms in 67 of the patients R In 21 patients with radiationinduced damage to the upper jaw bone hyperbaric oxygen therapy cured majority of the patients 857 R Similarly 27 patients with radiationinduced damage of the lower jaw bone benefited from supplementing their current treatments with hyperbaric oxygen therapy R In mice hyperbaric oxygen therapy prevented radiationinduced damage to the lower jaw bone It also improved the recovery of bone volume and viability R Hyperbaric oxygen therapy prevents the production of proteins that cause fibrosis in mice with head and neck radiation exposure Fibrosis is a condition caused by the overgrowth of tissue and scarring R Supplementing hyperbaric oxygen therapy for radiationinduced damage to the jaw bones should be considered for patients who are not responsive to therapy R 16 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Can Heal Burns Hyperbaric oxygen therapy increases the supply of oxygen to the areas suffering from burns Over 800 burn patients treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy exhibited longer lifespans and shorter recovery times than patients who just used standard therapy R The rate of infections sepsis was decreased in 57 burn patients supplemented with hyperbaric oxygen therapy in addition to standard treatment R 17 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Increases Tissue Graft Acceptance A tissue graft is a medical procedure in which damaged tissue is replaced using donated healthy tissue Failure of tissue grafts resulted in tissue loss additional surgery increased treatment costs and unfavorable psychosocial patient effects Multiple animals rats rabbits and guinea pigs and human case studies have shown the success of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in rescuing skin grafts by increasing oxygen supply to the tissues improving fibroblast function and initiating the growth of new blood vessels R In mice the addition of hyperbaric oxygen therapy inhibited the immune response and increased the chances of graft acceptance during transplantation R R 18 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Can Improve Symptoms of Stroke and Heart Disease In 73 poststroke patients RCT 40 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy significantly decreased damage to the brain and nerves R In 12 patients suffering from a stroke after heart surgery hyperbaric oxygen therapy caused a full recovery in 10 out of the 12 patients R Multiple animal studies with

independence R In multiple rat models of Alzheimers disease hyperbaric oxygen reduced inflammation and proteins linked to Alzheimers R R In a rat model of Alzheimers disease hyperbaric oxygen therapy improved cognitive ability and reduced brain damage R 20 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy May Reduce Cancer Growth Many cell studies have shown that hyperbaric oxygen therapy is beneficial in reducing tumor growth Although oxygen therapy promotes blood vessel growth in normal cells hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduces blood vessel formation around tumor cells This decreases the supply of oxygen to the cancerous tissue promoting death R R R In mice injected with human breast cancer cells hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduced the spread of cancerous cells and suppressed tumor growth R 21 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy May Treat Liver Injury Animal studies with rats confirmed that hyperbaric oxygen therapy is protective against liver injury These effects were better in rats who underwent therapy in the earlier stages of the disease R R In rats with liver injuries hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduced oxidative stress and increased cell recovery and growth R 22 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Improves Frostbite In a case study of 2 patients suffering from frostbite 25 to 30 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy preserved tissue health and promoted recovery of the dead tissue R Contraindications of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Before using supplemental oxygen therapy patients must be inspected for pneumothorax Pneumothorax is caused by the buildup of air in the space between the chest wall and the lungs If the pneumothorax is unrecognized or untreated using oxygen therapy could result in the lungs collapsing and ultimately death R R Oxygen constricts blood vessels and hyperbaric oxygen therapy might increase pressure on the heart Patients with a history of congestive heart failure are also at risk of adverse effects R R Other risk factors are R R Hyperthyroidism Severe claustrophobia Febrile illness Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD Seizure disorder Highly concentrated oxygen can easily catch on fire Therefore fires surrounding hyperbaric oxygen chambers oxygen gas cylinders tanks and concentrators are a high risk of danger R Side Effects of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Normobaric is safer than hyperbaric oxygen therapy although hyperbaric oxygen therapy is more effective Despite the risks and side effects proper use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy is considered safe and lowrisk interventions R Due to the high pressure hyperbaric oxygen therapy has more risks than normobaric therapy These include R R R R R Retinopathy in premature babies When the blood vessels connecting to the eyes do not develop retinal vessels Bronchopulmonary dysplasia in premature babies Results in lung dysfunction respiratory distress syndrome Oxygen therapy is therefore not recommended for infants and children Inflammation of the lining of undeveloped lungs Injured airways Production of breathing difficulties and lung dysfunction Can result in asthmalike symptoms and exercise intolerance Production of oxidative stress that could potentially result in seizures Barotrauma to the ears and sinuses mild Shortterm shortsightedness myopia Accelerated cataract growth in eyes Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can also cause distress in patients suffering from claustrophobia high

Recipes Ingredient Vegetables Cabbage More Breadcrumbs Dinner Tonight AsianFlavored Roasted Cabbage Recipe Healthy and Delicious Healthy and delicious recipes from Serious Eats Nick Kindelsperger 4 PrinterFriendly Version I didnt even attempt to take a picture of this monstrosity because I knew no camera angle could make this blackened pile of slosh look anything approaching edible Id blame Barbara Kafka if it didnt taste so remarkable In her famous Roasting cookbook she advocates cooking my gorgeous green cabbage at 500F which quickly turns it black Then its mixed with the Asianinspired saucealso blackand before I could think twice I was staring into the face of the ugliest dish Id ever created The impetus for the recipe came in the middle of roasting a chicken according to the Kafka method I had an obscenely hot oven and figured I should find another recipe from her book to toss in Some cabbage was lying around and everything for the sauce was in the fridge And while it does disfigure the vegetable beyond all recognition it also crisps it up and layers it in flavor Far from weepy and aromatic its rich and complex I wouldnt serve this for company but it is a great side dish Ingredients 1 head green cabbage quartered cored sliced into 12 inch strips 3 tablespoons canola oil 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon sesame oil 14 cup mirin 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar 2 teaspoons soy sauce 12 teaspoon red chili paste Directions 1 1 Preheat the oven to 500F It will take a while 2 2 Scatter the cabbage on a large baking sheet and toss with the oil Roast for 15 minutes Stir with a spatula Roast for another 15 minutes 3 3 Meanwhile mix together the sesame oil mirin rice wine vinegar soy sauce and red chili paste 4 4 Toss the cabbage with the sauce and serve Nick Kindelsperger Chicago Expert Columns Standing Room Only Chicago Tacos 4 PrinterFriendly Version Filed Under asian cabbage dinner tonight healthy and delicious sides spicy vegetarian

Earwigs

are

striking

little

numbers

about

in

length

They

are

smooth

shiny

dark

chocolate

brown

with

sensational

pale

yellow

legs

shoulders

and

pincers

Oh

yeah

they

are

as

gorgeous

as

they

sound

and

they

dont

actually

crawl

into

peoples

ears

They

love

organic

matter

sheltering

in

it

during

the

day

cosy

with

all

their

friends

Night

time

is

their

time

for

getting

busy

and

they

just

adore

eating

out

They

will

pretty

much

try

anything

youve

got

in

your

garden

They

particularly

like

fruit

vegetables

and

field

crops

but

will

also

go

for

zinnias

roses

and

dahlias

They

feast

on

the

roots

of

seedlings

mosses

and

lichens

They

particularly

love

it

when

you

overwork

your

garden

reducing

the

biodiversity

They

enjoy

cool

moist

weather

especially

in

spring

and

autumn

Birds

and

lizards

will

help

to

keep

them

under

control

and

they

hate

a

really

clean

and

tidy

garden

with

no

hiding

spots

Youll

know

youve

got

an

earwig

problem

when

all

your

plants

growing

tips

stems

flowers

and

fruits

have

lovely

gouge

marks

and

nibble

spots

in

them

They

love

to

munch

seedling

roots

and

can

destroy

a

bed

in

a

single

night

Tips

for

getting

rid

of

them

Set

up

an

earwig

trap

grab

a

few

clear

plastic

takeaway

food

containers

with

lids

tip

about

of

pure

linseed

oil

into

the

bottom

of

each

punch

several

holes

in

the

side

of

containers

above

the

level

of

the

oil

but

below

the

lid

and

position

these

traps

in

the

mulch

around

the

plants

being

attacked

by

earwigs

Go

to

bed

and

check

the

traps

the

next

morning

you

will

be

amazed

how

many

earwigs

you

will

capture

during

the

night

Empty

the

traps

refill

and

reposition

for

an

earwigfree

existence

Set

up

a

trap

using

an

upside

down

pot

stuffed

with

newspaper

or

straw

I

cant

resist

these

Place

a

dish

of

vegetable

oil

buried

up

to

the

rim

near

your

seedlings

I

love

it

but

its

not

good

for

me

Let

your

chooks

scratch

about

in

the

garden

for

a

while

just

make

sure

the

chooks

have

had

a

nice

big

feed

of

greens

first

Clean

up

any

detritus

and

junk

around

the

garden

Create

a

diverse

garden

This

encourages

predators

enough

said

Half

fill

a

jar

with

beer

and

lay

it

on

its

side

where

I

am

most

active

I

love

beer

but

when

I

drink

it

I

die
