“We had no idea we’d still be going seven years later,” she said. The group met at Buckley’s Marion Grange until the VFW offered its facility rent-free in 2005. The VFW also donates fabric and takes care of distribution most of the time. Early batches of quilts went to Walter Reed Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., and other points around the country. Now, most stay in Washington state with many covering beds at the Homeless Veterans Project, a 60-bed facility built on 31 acres in Retstil, near Port Orchard. “In the beginning we didn’t make that many,” Frick said, but the last time those 20 members gathered they produced 96 pieces. Those weren’t all quilts, some were bags or wheelchair and lap quilts, and they aren’t
Perhaps it’s the result of cosmic irony or maybe it’s simply King County’s way of showing a bit of taxpayer love – in either case, property tax statements generally flood regional mailboxes right around Valentines Day. Again this year, King County Assessor Lloyd Hara spent the better part of a day in Enumclaw, speaking at the senior center and visiting with select city constituents before dropping by The Courier-Herald to explain this year’s tax scenario. “In general, south King County has lost more value than those areas closer to the core job centers,” Hara said. For city taxpayers, the bottom line consists of three elements: property values in the Enumclaw city limits have dropped for the fourth straight year; property tax rates continue to climb; and, after doing all the math, the total tax bill has increased a bit in 2012. Hara’s numbers show Enumclaw properties averaged $233,900 in 2010, slid to $227,400 a year ago and are now pegged at $207,000. Assessments consider both physical structures, whether residential or commercial, and the land they sit on.

Quilts patch soldiers’ lives By Brenda Sexton Staff Writer
It’s three days of pedal-to-the-floor sewing madness at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Hall in Enumclaw. Quilt tops hang from the walls. Colorful, cotton, calicos drape across the tables. The chit-chat is barely audible over the muffled din of the Pfaffs and Singers. It’s a quilting bee with a mission. Three times a year – January, May and October – for three days, about 20 ladies haul their sewing machines to the VFW Hall and piece together Quilts of Valor to give to wounded soldiers. “We start at 9 a.m. and quit when we’re tired,” said Norma Sorger, who is tasked with organizing the group that Connie Frick graciously accepts credit for starting in 2004.
County caves, recycling bins have returned
Giving in to citizen pressure, King County has restored recycling service at the Enumclaw transfer station. The decision was announced Thursday and was effective Saturday. For years, local residents had been able to visit the transfer station and, at no charge, dispose of their newspaper, cardboard, aluminum and other items. The county halted that service Feb. 1, claiming 99 percent of residents in the areas have access to curbside recycling service through their garbage hauler. Eliminating the service, according
to information provided by the Department of Natural Resources and Parks, would have saved the county approximately $400,000 per year. The turnabout also was true for the Cedar Falls disposal site. “We heard from many residents in those areas, and we want to ensure that recyclable materials continue to be collected for recycling – rather than thrown away with the garbage, where they would

TAXES FROM 1 When property values decline, the typical effect is an increase in tax rates. Individual taxing districts bump their rates in an attempt to collect the same amount of money, or slightly more, despite lower assessments. Enumclaw residents will be paying less in 2012 than in 2011, Hara said, due to the swoon in property values. Last year, the average city property owner paid a combined tax rate of $11.49 and received a tax bill of $2,597. For 2012, he said, the combined rate is $12.18, but produces an annual property tax bill of $2,521. That means $76 more in the pocket of the average Enumclaw property owner. A breakdown of an indi-
vidual tax bill shows an Enumclaw resident’s total tax bill is split among 14 entities. More than one-half of property tax dollars go to public education, collected by both the state and the local school district. There are a variety of King County taxing districts collecting money for everything from flood prevention to ferries. The portion identified for the city of Enumclaw decreased this year and members of the City Council followed through on a promise to drop the tax rate because of annexation into Fire District 28. The net result was greater taxes paid for fire protection and emergency medical services, as the city rate declined by about 83 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value, while District 28 assesses at a bit more than
$1.09. Hara acknowledged there are two factors looming that could cause a spike in local tax rates. First, District 28 commissioners are working toward putting a measure on the spring ballot that would bump the collection rate to $1.50. Second, the city has been looking at getting out of the library businesses, favoring an annexation into the King County Library System. Such a move would require voter approval. If annexation occurred, the independent library system would begin assessing city residents at its current rate of 50 cents per $1,000 of assessed value. If the fire district’s increase comes about, and library annexation occurs, those additional collections would begin in January 2013.

Local fire commissioners sought to provide an open forum for citizens worried about management of Enumclaw/District 28 by hosting a town hall meeting Feb. 2. However, attendance was limited to just three citizens outside the firefighter community. The open house was an hours-long roundabout of topics ranging from the need for a new fire station, said station’s location, Fire Chief Joe Clow’s salary and the quality of the commission’s representation. Little new information came from each additional pass other than to establish that the speaker was capable of raising his voice a touch more. Early in the meeting, Clow found himself defending a partial quote contained in an interview with local news website Patch. “I’m not a municipal fire chief, I’m a district fire chief – which is a little bit different,” Clow said in that interview. “So I did realize my goal of not getting back into municipal government.” Qualls and Ted DeVol
said the quote betrayed a lack of interest in the city. Clow disagreed and said the quote was being taken out of the context of a larger explanation of his career. He had taken a job as Enumclaw fire chief after nearly 30 years in municipal firefighting. “My issue with municipal government is it’s very narrow-minded as far as planning for the future goes,” Clow said to Qualls and DeVol. “All my (experience) leads to a need for long-term planning.” Commissioner Ryan Terhune said a problem with Enumclaw’s municipal system – before city voters approved annexation into District 28 – was that it was still partially funded by district taxpayers, but without
arrangement. “The chief got that raise because he deserved it for his management of the station,” Hannity said. Terhune said Clow’s salary needs to be compared with that of other fire chiefs to be appreciated. “If you’re going to compare, compare apples to apples,” Terhune said. “Fire chiefs in neighboring districts still make more than our chief does. If you go to Bonney Lake or Maple Valley, they will have a city chief, deputy chief, assistant chief and chief of operations all doing the job Joe is doing here.” The fire station Another point of contention was whether the fire district will build a new station at a cost of $5 million and where the station would be located. “I look around at this building and there’s noth-

ing wrong with it,” DeVol said. “Have you been to the Buckley fire station? I could see them needing a new fire station, but this place is in good shape, in comparison. Why spend $5 million if you don’t need to?” The short answer from the commissioners was that the district isn’t spending $5 million on a fire station. “As was said in the last

any district accountability. “The district was funding 50 percent of the station’s fire budget, but the district didn’t have any say in the operation of the station,” Terhune said. He said the city’s attitude was, “’Thanks for the check, now get out.’” Commissioner David Hannity said the operation of the station was not sustainable under city management. “(The city) could not fund the fire station like they wanted, and they knew it,” he said. DeVol complained of the fire chief ’s salary jumping significantly soon after annexation of the city into the district. “All we know is, the chief was hired one year as a city fire chief, and the next year he’s a district fire chief and he’s making $40,000 more a year,” DeVol said. DeVol made that point several times during the course of the evening and was met with the same explanation each time: the raise was merit-based and not the result of any secret

Celebrations were spontaneously spreading through the White River School District Feb. 1. White River High School Principal Mike Hagadone called a spur-of-themoment after-school meeting for staff. Superintendent Tom Lockyer excitedly shared the news with the White River School Board at its meeting that night. Late that afternoon, the district received word from the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction and the State Board of Education that White River High School was the recipient of a Washington Achievement Award, celebrating the top-performing schools and recognizing achievement in multiple categories. Lockyer explained the highly selective award is based on the school’s performance according to the Washington Achievement Index,

a comprehensive measurement of how schools in Washington are performing over time. The Washington Achievement Award is given to elementary, middle, high and comprehensive schools in seven different categories: overall excellence, language arts, math, science, extended graduation rate (high and comprehensive schools only), improvement and closing achievement gaps. “We were very excited,” Hagadone said. “It certainly, I think, validates the work our teachers and our students are doing is paying off. “What’s significant is it is simply based on our data and that all our kids in the subcategories and extended graduation rates and schools like us.” Hagadone pointed out of the 24 high schools to win the award, 14 were comprehensive or traditional schools like White River; the others were magnet or alternative schools like Avanti in Olympia. The Washington Achievement Award celebrates schools for overall excellence and special recognition in: language arts, math, science, graduation rate, improvement and closing achievement gaps and honors schools at an annual ceremony hosted by the SBE and OSPI. Schools are selected based on their statewide assessment data for the three previous years. This data is analyzed using the Achievement Index and methodology approved by both OSPI and the SBE.

Take it to heart: disease can be prevented For The Courier-Herald
Heart disease is the No. 1 cause of death for men and women in the United States. Also called coronary artery disease, it is a condition in which fatty deposits (plaque) build up in the arteries. These deposits cause arteries to become blocked, restricting flow of blood and oxygen to the heart. We know a lot about what causes heart disease and things individuals can do to prevent it. To reduce your risks: • Quit or don’t start smoking; • Balance your calorie intake and physical activity to maintain a healthy body weight;
Health takes commitment to activity
• Consume a diet rich in a variety of vegetables and fruits; • Choose whole-grain, high-fiber foods. Good choices include whole wheat, oats/oatmeal, rye, barley, brown rice, buckDr. Donald Lee wheat, bulgur, millet and quinoa; • Consume fish, especially oily fish, at least twice a week (about 8 ounces per week). Oily fish like salmon, mackerel and sardines are rich in the omega-3 fatty acids (eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids); • Limit your daily intake of saturated fat
(found mostly in animal products) to less than 7 percent of total calories, trans-fat (found in hydrogenated fats, commercially baked products, and many fast foods) to less than 1 percent of total calories, and cholesterol (found in eggs, dairy products, meat, poultry, fish and shellfish) to fewer than 300 mg per day. Choose lean meats and vegetable alternatives (like soy). Select fat-free and low-fat dairy products. • Grill, bake or broil fish, meat and skinless poultry. • Use little or no sodium (salt). Reducing sodium can lower blood pressure and decrease the risk of heart disease. • Cut down on beverages and foods containing added sugars (corn syrups, sucrose,
glucose, fructose, maltrose, dextrose, concentrated fruit juice and honey.) • If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation. The American Heart Association recommends limiting alcohol to two drinks per day for men and one drink for women. A person’s age, gender, family and medical histories, and environmental factors can also affect the tendency to develop heart disease. Consult with your primary care physician or professional health care provider for guidance about steps you should take to keep your heart healthy.

Saying goodbye Letters the help doesn’t come easy Appreciates of fire department staff It’s time. Without going into the hows and whys, I tendered my resignation at The Courier-Herald Feb. 1 and my last day is scheduled for Monday, Feb. 20. Let me make this perfectly clear: I am not severing my ties to the community or my relationships with the people who have been near and dear to my heart for all these years. It’s been a wonderful ride and y’all – I love to say that, picked it up when I lived down South – won’t be able to get rid of me that easy. It was not a decision made lightly. I love sharing your stories and keepBrenda Sexton ing the folks in Staff Writer town up on what’s happening. I firmly believe community is the key to community journalism and community newspapers. It’s about people. It’s about caring. It’s about heart and soul. Editor Kevin Hanson says I care. Perhaps that is why it is more stressful at times to do the job. It also makes it harder to leave this job behind. I started right after college graduation in 1987. Jean Lafromboise hired me. I missed working for Bud Olson by about a month. The big presses had been hauled out by then, but the small print shop was still here and when I wasn’t writing stories I was often helping out there. The last time I left was 1994, when I married my honey and moved to the Washington, D.C.-Baltimore area. Oddly, when his job brought us back to this area four years later, I dropped in to say hello to my former editor Jack Darnton and in short order found myself putting together the 50-year celebration publication of the hospital. That led to more part-time publications, some ad sales and a gig doing classifieds. Bill Marcum, bless his heart, let me take my preschool-age kids to

LAST WEEK: Due to technical difficulties, a new question did not appear last week?
I would like to thank all the men and women in the Enumclaw Fire Department for all the great work that they do, for just being there for us. They were there for me when I was hit from behind in my car, to take me to the hospital in shock with a blood pressure of 230 over 98. For being there when I had a bad spell at QFC and was taken to the hospital suffering from dehydration. For being there so I can have my blood pressure taken any time that I want. To me, they are a great bunch of men and women, from the aid car people to the firemen and office staff. I am grateful for all of you. Thanks, guys. Beth Holmquist Enumclaw
Stunned with views expressed by senator I was stunned when I read Sen. Pam Roach’s column related to gay marriage (Courier-Herald, Feb. 1). How could a state senator sit through the many hours of testimony and have so little knowledge about pending legislation? Sen. Roach stated that “domestic partnership laws provide protections for same gender couples. So, the battle is over a logo.”
Really, senator? Those in samesex domestic partnerships do not have survivor pension benefits and the same rights of inheritance that a spouse would have. Domestic partners have to carry their health care directives with them whenever they travel, because the partner does not have the same legal rights as a spouse. If one partner works for a company who self insures the employees medical insurance, the employee’s partner could be uncovered. The senator also said there were not sufficient safeguards to prevent pastors and priests from having to perform ceremonies against their will. The public hearings made it very clear that more than adequate safeguards were attached to the bill. I don’t know if the senator doesn’t have a better understanding of the legislation upon which she is voting or if the senator understands it very well but is intentionally trying to mislead the public. As a Christian, I do not understand how someone could vote to keep their fellow citizen from having equal rights. These families need protection and their children have a right to go to school and say their parents are married, not merely in a domestic partnership. I know several gay or lesbian couples who have adopted children. In each case, the children were available for adoption because their biological parents did not fulfill their parental responsibilities. A loving home with a father and a mother is simply a fairy tale in 50 percent of our marriages. We can let these children pass
through the foster care system until they are 18, providing them with an unstable and often abusive childhood at taxpayer expense or we can provide a legally married couple who will love and protect them. As this legislation will most likely be on the ballot this fall, it is important that we obtain correct information. Marcie B. Neuman Buckley
More complaints about fire district leadership In case you missed it, the citizens of Enumclaw agreed to pay more for fire and emergency services without even being told about it. We were paying 89 cents per $1,000 and now we are paying $1.09 per $1,000. It’s my belief if we would have been told this we would not have approved the merger of the district. Yes, information was withheld from the citizens preventing us from making an informed decision about the merger. Is that legal? The new chief wants to raise it another 37 percent or $1.50 per $1,000 on the next ballot. This is almost a 70 percent increase for the taxpayers of Enumclaw and 37 percent for the people in the district. During the first open house, the chief made a comment he would raise it to $4 per $1,000 if he could; his next comment was he probably should not have said that. During the same

The Franklin coal mining community in the late 1880s and early 1890s was a raucous scene filled with work stoppages, company lockouts, strikebreakers and violence. There were strikes in 1886 and 1888-89 as the Knights of Labor union and the Oregon Improvement (Coal) Company battled for power. In May 1891, a train full of black miners disembarked at the railroad depot in Palmer, were handed old-fashioned carbines from the Civil War era and marched, under guard, several miles to Franklin. The next six weeks were filled with tense negotiations to try to end a bitter lockout and strike and avoid armed confrontation between black and white miners. Violence broke out on June 28, 1891, and a riot quickly ensued. Two men were killed and two women seriously wounded before peace was restored. This photo shows the National Guard soldiers standing on a hillside above the old town of Franklin. Photo from the Museum of History and Industry in Seattle, provided by Bill Kombol

Hoping café is a rousing success When I was a little kid the long, narrow building beside Suburban Soul and across Cole Street from the senior center used to be a garage and Goodrich tire shop that my uncle, Joe Semanski, owned and managed.

letters FROM 7 meeting questions were brought up why the fire department has gotten into the transportation business. Commissioner David Hannity was very upset with the questions and said the district has figured out how to make money and is going after it. Wow David, should you really have said that? The fire commissioners have figured out how to make money and they are going after it. So when did the fire department get into the forprofit business? Is that how you feel about my taxes, Dave? What I mean by getting into the transportation business is they are transporting people who need care to and from hospitals and charging for it; more on that later. The taxpayers of Enumclaw now have a fire department that is run by three fire commissioners. All three are union firemen and they negotiate salaries

QFC Supports Heart Health It is fitting that a month which includes Valentine’s Day should also be American Heart Month. February is a month when we should consider not only the love in our hearts but also the health of our hearts. That’s one reason why QFC is proud to support the American Heart Association and “Go Red For Women.” “Go Red For Women” was created by the American Heart Association in 2004 to call attention to the fact that heart disease is not just a disease for older men. As noted on its website, “More women die of heart disease than all forms of cancer combined.” In fact, in the year in which “Go Red For Women” was created, cardiovascular disease was killing nearly a half-million women in the U.S. annually. Funds raised for the “Go Red For Women” are used to support awareness, scientific research, education and community programs to benefit women. The AHA “Go Red For Women” website reports that “over 2 million women have learned their personal risk of developing heart disease by taking the Go Red Heart CheckUp,” and “over 200,000 healthcare provider offices have received critical patient information on women and heart disease.”
If you would like to support QFC’s charity of the month you can do so by asking your QFC checker to scan a $1, $5, or $10 donation card, designate that your 3-cent reusable bag credit be donated or simply place your extra change in our coin boxes. At QFC we believe that everyone’s health is important and during 2012 we are actively encouraging our associates to make choices to lead healthier lifestyles. One of the ways we are doing that in 2012 is by offering our associates several walking challenges. Walking is a great low-impact form of exercise that can provide a host of great benefits. Studies have shown that walking can strengthen men and women’s hearts to decrease the risk or occurrence of cardiac events. It has also been associated with stronger bones, a slower decline in cognitive ability, reduced risk of developing diabetes, improved fitness and physical function and more! Walking is a form of exercise that most people are able to engage in even if they must start with short sessions. As the body adapts and responds to regular exercise, most people are able
www.courierherald.com with the union. Worse than the fox guarding the hen house. They just gave the fire chief a 28 percent raise and he now makes twice what the police chief makes. Not much left for teachers. How would you like to sit down with your best friend at work and give yourself a fat raise with taxpayer money? I find it outrageous a state agency acts like this; they have no accountability to anyone. They are handing out raises and spending money recklessly and expect taxpayers to foot the bill. If you think I’m having fun writing this letter you are wrong. Our fireman are great guys, their leaders are reckless and irresponsible. They just spent $495,000 on a piece of property that has a tax value of $55,000 and is listed to be 75 percent wetlands; they claim they were not told this. More on the land deal later. I have asked the fire chief two different times in public for information where the $2 million the district had before the merger has gone. They claim to have $900,000 left and have only accounted for a land deal of $495,000 and a new ambulance for our growing transport business at the cost of
$125,000. They still need to account for $480,000. I guess I will need to pull a request for public records and ask for accountability. I will let you know what I find out in 30 days. For some reason the citizens of Enumclaw are not aware of the situation and I’m just trying to get the word out. I don’t have a union to pay for glossy ads that are full of rhetoric so this is my venue. I have discovered many disturbing issues the public needs to be made aware of and I have a limited space. Stay tuned. I could write a book on this. Mike Qualls Enumclaw
Special Olympics a great experience The Enumclaw Middle School FOR (Friends of Rachel) Club had an amazing experience with the Enumclaw Special Olympics on Thursday, Feb. 2. We wanted to help out at this event because of inspiration from Rachel’s Challenge. We collected 23 links that night. There were some very special links that stood out to us about the event.
One person wrote, “Thanks to the lady who gave up her seat in the first row so that my daughter and her son (who’s in a wheelchair) could enjoy the game tonight.” Also, the FOR Club helped with preparation by handing out brochures and holding the door open, as well as making signs of motivation for our athletes. I thought everyone was so encouraging and positive towards both teams. I learned a lot about all the amazing participants, all working together, cheering each other on, with big smiles on their faces. I thought the event was so great, and seeing everyone’s thoughtful and mindful assistance toward every person was so inspiring! I loved seeing the community all come together to support the kids. I’m astonished by the effect of Rachel’s Challenge in our schools and community. I hope the chain of the deliberate acts of kindness and compassion will continue to advance and affect society on a daily basis. Bella Grosso, eighth grade Enumclaw Middle School

to increase their time and/or level of intensity. The Surgeon General recommends 30 minutes or more of accumulated moderate intensity physical activity on five or more days per week to improve health and fitness. As with any exercise program, it is important to consult your doctor before beginning any new exercise program. Our current walking challenge began on January 23 and is 10 weeks long. Our associates are being encouraged to sign up to declare a personal goal for the 10-week program and then develop their own walking commitment to get
there. If they sign up for 300,000 steps, this would translate to 30,000 steps a week, or 6,000 steps a day for five days per week. 6000 steps would translate to about a 3-mile walk. Associates may change their goals at any time during the challenge. If you would like to embrace a healthier lifestyle, you might consider creating your own walking challenge.

CORNER FROM 7 work and hired me full-time in 2001. Folks still tell stories of the kids coloring and playing with Legos during meetings and interviews. It all equates to a while. I’ve done some fun things. I trained with members of the British Army at Buck Creek. I played war games at Fort Lewis with soldiers from the Enumclaw National Guard Armory. I’ve seen the view from the SunTop Lookout. I’ve whitewater rafted the Green River past the Hanging Gardens down to Flaming Geyser. I woke up in the middle of the night to witness a home birth. I went mushroom picking with folks in the area. I’ve been face to face with an ostrich when that was the fad on the Plateau. I saddled up a horse and jumped into a covered wagon to mosey down the John Wayne Trail. I rode shotgun at about 80 miles an hour in a modified street car through the logging roads outside Enumclaw as part of a road rally. It’s not been all fun and games. My first stories fresh out of college here were a death investigation and a lost hunter. I was here for the controversial closing of Pete’s Pool, the fight to save the aquatics center, the Gay Rodeo, KMPS annual picnic, Lollapalooza, closing of Farman’s Pickle Factory and the Weyerhaeuser mill, the freezing storm and hurricane winds of the early-90s (which made January’s weather look like a picnic) and the fire that destroyed the block of downtown. I’ve gotten out of bed in the middle of the night, at least twice, for a fire at the Yella Beak. I’ve been right there for Enumclaw High’s three state wrestling titles, the EHS girls golf team’s state title and a boatload of individual state titles. And who can forget my “I’m Game” series, where at middle-age and out of shape I went out and joined many of you on the sporting field. Also very dear to me are those of you who

opened your hearts and homes. So very many of you have shared with me your deepest, most personal experiences so others could benefit or find solace. Bless you. You are true heroes. More importantly, through all those years, I have seen how the people of this community rally and come together time and time again. I love this community and that makes this very difficult. But, I’m not going away. I’m a homeowner and taxpayer here. I’ll still be active at Sacred Heart Church. I will continue to sit on the Enumclaw Regional Healthcare Foundation board of directors. The last Thursday of each month, I will keep the tradition to help oversee our free Simply Soup community dinner at the senior center. I plan to continue working with the Enumclaw Schools Foundation’s kindergarten auction and I can definitely be found matside and poolside at my kids’ wrestling, swim and water polo matches, meets and games. The difference is this time I can cheer and cheer loudly. I don’t have plans, but thank you Diane Franchini for suggesting I join the Garden Club and Chief Alan Predmore for inviting me to volunteer at Buckley’s new fire station. I’m exploring options. I’m open to suggestions and, thank you, to the many folks in town who want to “talk” over lunch or coffee. I look forward to those discussions and the doors they may open. Thank you, to all I have worked with in the office and on the streets. What a fabulous group of people. My greatest respect to all. You have made my job the past couple of decades easy and enjoyable. To you, the loyal Courier-Herald readers, who have supported your hometown newspaper, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Words cannot express my gratitude. You put the community in community newspaper.

later, was further aggravated by several rock concerts. (At this stage of my life, it’s a wonder I’m not stone deaf.) But mostly there was the irritating odor of burnt rubber. Indeed, that terrible smell is permanently etched into the deeper recesses of my reptilian mind. Several years after my uncle drowned in a fishing accident and the tire shop had closed, the rear part of the building facing Railroad Street was reopened, appropriately enough, as a car repair business and Eric’s Auto is there today. However, much to my surprise, the front of the building was remodeled and opened as a restaurant. In some spooky way, I could never enter that restaurant without detecting the odor of burnt rubber. At any rate, this café didn’t last long. Then, another restaurant opened there. It also closed. This was followed by yet another, which lasted a year or more before it folded. All together, I think there have been four such unsuccessful diners, but I can’t be certain. I’ve lost count. It’s as though the building was meant to be a garage and my uncle put a curse on the place. Nevertheless, unscathed by these past failures, Craig Porria has recently remodeled the place yet again and, along with his chef, Cheryl McGuffin, has opened the Twisted Kitchen. They’re absolutely convinced their new operation will be the one that breaks the chain of flops. I surely hope so and wish them the best of luck.

Bev had a great sense of humor and enjoyed her garden, going to Hood Canal and Elvis’ music. She especially loved her family, grandchildren, great grandchildren and her animals. Bev was compassionate and can be best described as the littlest lady with the biggest heart. She is survived by her husband, of 60 years, Norman Irons, daughter Janie Floyd, son Jeffery Irons (Sarah Jean), sister Virginia Rudstrom (Jack), 7 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her daughter Debbie Irons-Vaughn, sister June Allman, sisters-in-law Naomi Irons and Dorothy Kleven.

Joe ( Jouke) Siesling died in Enumclaw February 4, 2012. He was born November 10, 1936 in Poppenweir, Friesland in the Netherlands to Rense and Elsie Siesling. At the age of 3 his family immigrated to the United States to escape Hitler’s regime. They settled in Western Washington and owned different farms in the area. Joe attended Enumclaw High School and obtained his citizenship upon graduation. He had a love of aviation and received his private pilot’s license in the 1970s. Joe was an avid fisherman and one of his lifelong goals was to catch a bigger salmon than the 42-pounder his wife had caught years earlier. He ended up achieving that goal. He worked several jobs including a stint at Bar S Meats, and as an Enumclaw Police officer. He ended his career at King County Metro, retiring after more than 30 years of service. He was preceded in death by his parents and his wife, Dorothy Siesling. He is survived by daughters Jill Francis of Baytown, Texas, Jana Lawlis and husband Wyatt of Enumclaw, Heidi Reano and husband Kirk of Black Diamond, and grandsons Travis and Tony Reano. Surviving siblings are sisters Josephine Schoch of Montesano, and Ann Turk and husband Steve of Post Falls, ID, and a brother Art Siesling and wife Sandra of Onalaska. No services are planned at this time.
been here since. For the past 12 years, he’s been a full-time employee with LeafGuard Gutters. When I first shook hands with him I had the distinct feeling we’d met somewhere before, but the sensation wasn’t mutual. He’s a friendly, outgoing fellow with a rather unique physical appearance owing to the bandanna wrapped around his head and his large soul patch. He’s participated in four or five TV commercials for his employer, so perhaps that’s where I’ve seen him. Cheryl is a home-town lady whose parents at one time owned Duke’s Restaurant, if you happen to remember that café. Shortly after graduating from Enumclaw High School, Cheryl moved to Chelan, where she spent the next 20 years cultivating her culinary interests. In the course of that pursuit, she developed her skills for making pastry and, in particular, she created a truly excellent cinnamon roll. Be that as it may, most of her culinary talent isn’t channeled towards such highcaloric, super-rich delights. Instead, she prefers light, healthy fare and prepares most of her sandwiches, soups, and salads from scratch. Toward this end, she offers a wide variety of breakfast dishes that are available all day and a lunch menu that includes Italian and American sandwiches and Greek and Italian salads. The place promotes a broad selection of beer and wine and also features various flavored lattés, some of which would nicely compliment a cinnamon roll. Furthermore, the prices are quite reasonable. The Twisted Kitchen is open from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day and, in case you’d appreciate a little soft music and a glass of vino, from 7 to 11 p.m. Saturday. Cinnamon rolls are available any time of the day or night.

QUILTS FROM 1 all put together during the group get-together. They can’t quit, Frick said, it’s addictive. “It pulls at your heart strings,” she said. “You can’t say you’re not going to do it anymore. But, certainly it’s not one person. It’s something that takes all of us working together.” Like Frick, whose father, brother and nephew are Marines and whose hus-
band was in the Army, there’s a connection. “A lot of ladies have someone in the military or know someone,” she said. For Frick, it started with her nephew’s first tour of duty. “It was a really scary time for me to have him go to Iraq,” she said. That’s about when her path crossed with Catherine Roberts, founder and executive director of Quilts of Valor. She was looking for quilters. Not only was Frick
one, but she knew a few. “It’s been hundreds,” Sorger said, of the number of quilts the ladies have put together since. Most are in the red, white and blue color scheme, “because that’s what the soldiers prefer.” “We’ve probably made 400 quilts since our beginning, but that’s a drop in the bucket compared to all Quilts of Valor,” Frick said. Each quilt has a label stitched into it – a purple heart that reads, “Hand Made With Pride and Love

For information, call Norma Sorger, 253-862-3185, or Connie Frick, 360-829-2789. in the USA,” with a thank you for service and information about the quilter or “Handmade by Plateau QOV Quilts at VFW Post 1949.” Occasionally, a letter or photograph of a soldier and his family and the quilt makes its way back to the group. It’s not often, Shirley May said, but “when we do, it sure makes us feel good.” Among the correspondence is a letter and photograph from an Army soldier with the Black Horse Unit. His letter has special meaning for Frick because she sewed the Black Horse Unit uniform patch her husband wore home from Vietnam into it. “It was a very emotional thing,” Frick said.
Frick also gets emotional when she talks about the spur-of-the-moment presentation of quilts she and others made to veterans who were visiting the traveling Vietnam Memorial when it passed through Bellingham. The group was also touched when the local VFW post commander came by looking for a quilt to give to the mother of Sgt. Nathan Wyrick, a former Enumclaw resident who died in Afghanistan in 2011. The piece he randomly selected was one with prayers and quotes sewn inside, made by QOV quilter Mary Wellauer. “I hope she finds comfort in it for the rest of her life,” Frick said.

Scam targets Couple reunites vets and family after six decades So-called “advocates” are targeting veterans and their spouses with a scam. They are telling veterans to shelter assets in order to qualify for Aid and Attendance from the Veterans Administration. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. First, what is Aid and Attendance? A&A is financial assistance from the Veterans Administration that helps with daily activities like bathing, dressing and taking medications. As a general rule, a veteran or the spouse of a veteran who is receiving care at home or in a long-term care facility who owns a Megan Farr home, a car and limited cash assets may be eligible for A&A. The Washington State Attorney General is investigating complaints about people who conduct seminars at senior centers and long-term care facilities telling veterans and their families that they can help with A&A eligibility by putting assets into a trust or giving them to their children, who are then advised to buy an annuity. These “advocates” make large commissions from selling the trusts and annuities. They promise help with applying for A&A, but they usually don’t submit your application until a trust or annuity is bought. There are three major problems with this scheme. First, even though there is currently no penalty for veterans to give away assets in order to meet the financial criteria to qualify for A&A, there is a five-year look-back period for gifts when applying for Medicaid (a government program that helps people pay for long-term care when they cannot otherwise afford it). This means putting assets into a trust or gifting them to children can result in denial of Medicaid benefits. In that case, a trust and/or gift may have to be undone in order to qualify. Second, the problem gets even worse because undoing a trust or annuity usually results in less than 100 percent of the initial investment being returned. An attorney may need to assist in destroying the trust and there are large surrender fees paid to get your money back out of the annuity. Also, your children may face a civil fine or need to pay for your care while you are ineligible for Medicaid. Third, you do not need the assistance of an advocate to apply for A&A. Free help is available. The V.A., the American Legion, the Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs, and the VFW can all be directly contacted for help. Complaints against these A&A scams can and should be made to the Washington State Attorney General’s Office, www.atg.wa.gov. Megan S. Farr is an estate planning and elder law attorney with Farr Law Group in Enumclaw.

For romantics who believe in true love and live for Valentine’s Day, John and Gisella Castanza have a love story that spans decades and one Gisella enjoys sharing. It was 1941 in Manhattan, when John, a college student, met Gisella through a friend, Evelyn, who set them up on a blind date. John, and Stella, as he calls her, dated until 1942, when John entered the Navy and was sent first to Seattle, and then the Pacific, during World War II. The two exchanged letters for a while. “In 1942, I got a Dear John letter and didn’t hear from him again,” Stella said. Stella married in 1948 and lived in Long Island for a time before moving her family to a home and acreage in upstate New York. After a lengthy battle, her husband died from cancer in the 1980s. John married a girl from the Seattle area in 1946 and spent time in this area, Boston and points around the globe, before retiring in Enumclaw to be close to his son. His wife of 60 years died in 2006, not long after the move to Enumclaw. John pulled out his photograph of he and Stella and started searching. “It cost me $40 and I’m still trying to collect,” John laughs, about the amount he spent with an agency that searches for people. He sent out letters to a number of strangers gambling they knew Stella, but he didn’t get any response until he reconnected with Evelyn, who was living in St. Louis. She shared Stella’s phone number. From the other side of the country, Stella answered the phone, but when the male voice wouldn’t tell her who he was, she got angry. “If you don’t tell me who you are

I’m going to hang up,” she tells. “I’m not wasting my time.” John piped up and they began calling regularly for about a year. “He sent a ticket and I flew out,” Stella said. She spent three weeks in Enumclaw. “I felt I needed to go home and clear my head,” she said. “I’d been widowed for 21 years.” Being with John, she concluded, made sense. “Why not? Why should I sit here alone,” she said. “It was just tough being alone.” She sold the home she had lived in for 45 years and returned to Washington state, where she and John were married. “After 63 years, he found me,” she said. With Valentine’s Day on the horizon, Stella, 87, jokes with John, 89, about buying her something nice. Through their relationship, he’s showered her with a number of beautiful items, but there is one that is very special. On her left arm, she wears a gold bracelet engraved with Stella M. Ertl. John had given it to her when they were dating back in those early years of the 1940s. “I kept it,” she said. “You don’t think after the Dear John letter I’d give it back?”
John and Gisella Castanza posed along the East River in Manhattan when they began dating in 1942, again during that year and today after they were reunited and married 2009. Photos courtesy the Castanzas and Brenda Sexton/To view or buy photos go to www. courierherald.com.
She kept it from her first husband and had passed it down to a daughter. When John came back into her life, so did the bracelet. “He’s a good man and we’re having a good life,” she smiled.
Plateau community digests hunger information By Brenda Sexton Staff Writer
The people packed into the St. Elizabeth Hospital Rainier Room Thursday gobbled up the information presented about a community food program. Jobyna Nickum, Enumclaw Senior Activity Center manager, Britt Nelson, Plateau Outreach Ministries director and
Jackie Madill with Franciscan Health Systems facilitated the meeting to see if there was an interest in creating a communitybased program to feed the hungry. The room, filled beyond capacity with more than 60 community members, was a good sign. “When people say Enumclaw is special, this is it,” Madill said. “There is so much compassion and hope on the Plateau that
there is no way this cannot be successful.” With an official name yet to be determined, the loosely formed organization is planting seeds of hope. The gathering was an opportunity to talk about the Plateau’s hunger issues and the possibilities for developing a program to meet the hunger needs of the area’s elderly, children and families. Nickum, Nelson and Madill have been putting their heads together to coordinate
efforts to build a feeding program on the Plateau that reaches those in need with nutrition and compassion. It’s thought the effort could be similar to Portland, Ore.’s, Loaves and Fishes. Madill said the Plateau is generally thought of as an affluent community, but there are great needs just below the surface.

RECYCLING FROM 1 take up valuable space in the landfill,” said Kevin Kiernan, director of the county’s Solid Waste Division. “Restoring this service to these two facilities is intended to encourage continued recycling.” In the days following the announcement that recycling would be discontinued at the two sites, Kiernan said his department received numerous complaints from residents in and around Enumclaw and North Bend, where the Cedar Falls facility is located. While curbside collection service is available to residents in those rural areas, many people commented that there are challenges to using the service. Rural residences are often a great distance from the road and some collections are not available unless materials are brought to locations off the resident’s property. Kiernan said the Solid Waste Division will need to come up with a way to cover the $200,000 cost of restoring the recycling services. The division will continue to examine options for providing the service more cost-effectively and will also look at collecting other recyclable materials at its facilities that cannot be readily recycled elsewhere. “Customers can help reduce the cost of recycling by sorting their materials correctly and not putting garbage or other unacceptable items in with their recycling,” Kiernan said. According to a county press release, contamination of recyclable materials in the recycling bins at King County facilities has resulted in a significant decline in recycling revenue; the success of the recycling program depends upon the quality of the materials recycled. More information on the King County Solid Waste Division is available at http://your.kingcounty. gov/solidwaste/index.asp.

POLICE BLOTTER Enumclaw
ASSAULT: Police were alerted to an assault that took place about 9:45 p.m. Thursday in a Griffin Avenue parking lot. The male suspect departed in a silver Jeep with numerous stickers on the back. The suspect is known to the victim and no medical aid was required. Any further action was pending contact with the victim and his parents. ONE IN CUSTODY: Police received a call just after 11 p.m. Feb. 8 about trouble at a Harding Street residence. The caller said his son was at the home and there were people outside who were making threats. Police responded and took one person into custody for violation of a no-contact order; it was learned the subject also was wanted on a felony warrant and a misdemeanor warrant, both out of Seattle. CIVIC STOLEN: A Wynalda Drive reported Feb. 7 a 1998 Honda Civic had been stolen during the night. The vehicle was found the following day in Tacoma; it could not be driven. STUDENT TROUBLE: Police were notified Feb. 7 to a case of malicious mischief, done by a student, at a Semanski Street school. An officer took a report and the student was released to a parent. WARRANT ARREST: A man with Puyallup arrest warrants was taken

He was taken into custody and transported to the Enumclaw station for booking. SUSPICIOUS: Employees of a Garrett Street business called police Feb. 7 after a man entered the store, attempting to sell a large amount of jewelry.

The man departed in a red Honda and employees notified local police, who called King County authorities who had investigated the recent theft of vintage jewelry in the area. FOOT PURSUIT: Police were told Feb. 7 of a man who had attempted to siphon gas from a vehicle in the Blake Street vicinity. He was last seen on Dickson Avenue and police chased him on foot, with assistance from Buckley police. The suspect escaped. EXPLOSIVES?: A city officer made contact the morning of Feb. 6 with a man who claimed to have been the best. They also know schools need a reliable and fair tool to help make sense of assessment data and align those data with state and national priorities. The Washington Achievement Award shines a light on some of the best practices that are making that success possible.

involved in using explosives with other individuals. Because the alleged incident occurred outside the city limits, the officer contacted King County. ROAD RAGE: Police were told Feb. 6 by the Washington State Patrol of a possible road rage incident involving vehicles heading into Enumclaw.

BUCKLEY
SUSPICIOUS: On Feb. 6, police
responded to a report of a man walking down the alley between Second and Third streets in a Buckley residential area with a flashlight, apparently checking out the contents of people’s carports and yards.

Police searched the man and turned up nothing of interest. BITE MARKS: The afternoon of Feb. 4, police responded to a Main Street apartment, where a domestic assault had taken place.

Friends for Rachel
In less than four weeks, we will be gathering at Enumclaw Stadium to celebrate our focus of the last seven months on creating a culture of kindness and compassion throughout our schools and community. We have recently asked for totals and are closing in on 1.25 miles.....only .75 miles from our goal of 2 miles! As we move into this final few weeks of captioning acts of kindness and compassion and writing them on chain links, I would ask for your help as we push toward our goal. We have approached this is a very unique manner by including all schools K-12 (the majority of districts only include their high school) and the inclusion of businesses, churches and service organizations. I am so very grateful for all involved and it has been so incredible to not only see large links in our schools, but also in the front windows of our businesses!

Helps at Enumclaw Special Olympics Event
The Enumclaw Middle School FOR (Friends of Rachel) Club had an amazing experience with the Enumclaw Special Olympics on Thursday, February 2nd. We wanted to help out at this event because of inspiration from Rachel’s Challenge.
We collected 23 links that night. There were some very special links that stood out to us about the event. One person wrote, “Thanks to the lady who gave up her seat in the first row so that my daughter and her son (who’s in a wheelchair) could enjoy the game tonight.” Also, the FOR Club helped with preparation by handing out brochures and holding the door open, as well as making signs of motivation for our athletes. I thought everyone was so encouraging and positive towards both teams. I learned a lot about all the amazing participants, all working together, cheering each other on, with big smiles on their faces.
Please put March 6 at 6:30 PM on your calendar for a united celebration of Enumclaw & Black Diamond business, churches, service organizations and schools! Below is a brief outline of the program. It is sure to be a memorable evening!

I thought the event was so great, and seeing everyone’s thoughtful and mindful assistance towards every person was so inspiring! I loved seeing the community all come together to support the kids. I’m astonished by the effect of Rachel’s Challenge in our schools and community. I hope the chain of the deliberate acts of kindness and compassion will continue to advance and affect society on a daily basis. Written by: Bella Grosso (Enumclaw Middle School 8th grade student)

Budget Prior to the special legislative session in November, Governor Gregoire released her Budget Reduction Alternatives proposal which included significant reductions to K-12 education. The legislature did not take action on those items related to education, and have chosen to address the larger and more controversial issues during the regular session which began January 9th. The Enumclaw School District as well as districts across the state will be closely watching the legislature as they begin to address the state budget and the impact on schools. Of particular interest and concern is any adjustments to or elimination of LEA (Local Effort Assistance), also known as Levy Equalization. Elimination of LEA for Enumclaw would be a revenue reduction of somewhere between $700,000-$800,000 annually. As in past years, the following bullets are filters for our decision-making related to reducing budgets: • Student learning • Support services
• Staff learning • Safe learning and working environment
As a school district, we will respond proactively and positively to what we know and understand regarding these transitions and budget shortfalls.
Kindergarten Registration REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS: • Children must be five years old on or before August 31 • A parent must present a child’s birth certificate at registration • Washington State immunization requirements must be met • Proof of residence must be provided Enumclaw School District offers a funded half-day kindergarten program as well as a fee-based full-day kindergarten program, 5 days per week.

Get a jump on spring with bright forsythia Learn all about color in an early spring garden. Marianne Binetti will speak at 1 p.m. Saturday at Windmill Gardens in Sumner on “Heavenly Hellebores and Companions.” Go to www. windmillgarden.com or call 253-863-5843 to register. Got forsythia? This bright yellow shrub goes unnoticed all year but, by the third week of February, winter begins to fade once the bright bloom of this sunshine-colored shrub opens up. If your forsythia is not yet in flower you can force a few branches into bloom by cutting them from the plant and displaying the bare branches indoors in a vase of warm water. In a few days those cut limbs will be Crossword Answers
fooled into blooming. Sometimes it is nice to fool Mother Nature. Mid-Febr ua r y is when some gardeners can start pea seeds and other cool-season veggies indoors. But this spring you need to be more patient. It is not the temperature of the soil but the moisture level in the soil that will slow down spring planting. A wet winter means the soil is still saturated with water so don’t dig in until the soil dries out. Here’s a way to test the texture and planting ability of your soil. Grab a handful of garden soil and squeeze. Now open your hand. If the muddy mess in your hand is shaped into a solid mass, then you have clay in your soil and it is too wet to work. If the soil in your palm falls

complete it. Measure your success. You can do it. You may have been on a similar path before. You started with sin-
through your fingers (this will not happen in spring in our climate) then you have sandy soil. But if the clump in your hand falls apart then sits on your hand, your soil has dried enough for planting. I want to add roses to my garden but I'm not sure when I can plant them. Should I wait until summer and buy roses in pots in full bloom or buy the bare root roses I see for sale now? T.H., Tacoma I can promise you a rose garden no matter which way you decide
to go. I prefer buying bare root roses because they are less expensive and easy to transport home since you buy the plants without any soil or pot around the roots. Another advantage of bare root roses is they can be planted now and into the month of March. This gives them time to establish a new root system and bloom this summer. But the advantage of buying a potted rose later in the year is that you can see, smell and touch the actual flowers before you commit to placing them in your garden. Either way, be sure you dig a large hole, at least 3 feet wide and 2 feet deep and loosen the soil. Which Japanese maples do you recommend for my small front yard? I lost a rather ugly tree in the wind storm
and want to plant a goodsized Japanese maple to take its place. S.S., Enumclaw The Bloodgood Japanese maple is a Northwest classic with burgundy-red leaves and a slender, open growth habit. The small leaves turn brilliant red in the fall. Then there is the lower-growing Crimson Queen Japanese maple, perfect for small spaces as it only grows to about 10 feet tall. But don’t overlook the exciting growth form of the Waterfall Japanese maple, with cascading green leaves that turn bright gold each autumn or the more coldand frost-tolerant Emperor Japanese maple. I also love coral bark maples and the pastel pink on the variegated leaves of butterfly maples. The truth is, all Japanese maples do well here and a visit to your local nursery will allow you to choose the
best shape and size for your landscape. I have a smoke tree that was badly damaged by wind this winter. The branches are gone on one side and half gone on the other side. Is this tree worth saving? P.L., Maple Valley You are in luck because where there are smoke trees there is a surefire way to start over again. The smoke tree or Cotinus coggygria is one of the few trees that can be pollarded or cut right to ground level. Just leave a stump 6 inches tall. Do this extreme makeover with a sharp pruning saw in March and don’t worry. You’ll be rewarded with a flush of fresh new growth in a few months and you may become hooked on pollarding your smoke tree every year. Copyright for this column owned by Marianne Binetti.
cere intentions and then encountered the force field of resistance that prevented success. A significant amount of desire and repetition is needed to develop a new habit. We have found three key elements that consistently
influence the probability of success. The first element is a coach who provides encouragement, guilt and glee. Consider asking a friend that has a similar goal of becoming more physically active to be
your coach. The second element is accountability: week ly report your activity to a friend, colleague or family member. Choose someone who will remind you of your goal even when you conveniently forget or avoid the subject. This person will objectively judge your progress but whose potential weekly disappointment and scorn will motivate you to get up and be active on days you would rather not. The third element is to visually track activity with a chart. This chart must be prominently available;
perhaps on your refrigerator so it is frequently seen and can reinforce the positive emotions related to the progress of your new behavior. The first step is to get started. You can do it.

The Enumclaw High gymnastics team, which made such a splash a year ago as a first-year program, is making a return trip to the state Class 2A/3A meet. Based on a first-place finish at last week’s West Central District competition, the Hornets put themselves in position for another title run. Last year’s team, which also captured the WCD title, fell less than one point shy of a state championship. This year’s squad took last week’s district championship with a point total of 173.75, cruising past second-place Auburn Mountainview’s 158.425. Both qualified entire teams for the state meet, to be staged Friday and Saturday in the
Tacoma Dome’s exhibition hall. The Hornets put four girls in the district allaround Top 10. Olivia Bannerot was the all-around champion, totaling 37.2 in the four events. She was first in the bars, 9.3, and floor exercise, 9.675, and third in the vault, 9.3. Joining her in the all-around list were Molly Mattheis, third place, 35.1; Maddison Ward, fifth place, 34.425; and Michelle McKinlay, 33.675. Individual placings showed Ward third in the bars with a score of 8.7.

As the Enumclaw High wrestling team prepares to defend its 3A state wrestling title, the Hornets are standing on familiar ground. The Hornets added another regional title to their vast collection Saturday night, edging Yelm 206.5 to 194. Decatur finished third with 163.5 and Bonney Lake was fourth with 137.5. Just as important, the Hornets qualified nine wrestlers into Friday and Saturday’s state tournament at the Tacoma Dome. “We’re going back with exactly what we had,” coach Lee Reichert said. “We’re as good as anybody. “We’ve got the kids to do it and we’re excited
about the challenge. “The kids have worked real hard and the expectations are higher,” Reichert said. “All the ducks are in a line. We just have to stay healthy and I think we can bring home a state championship. It’s wide open.” Yelm is expected to give the Hornets a run for their money, as will Kelso, Bonney Lake, Timberline, Decatur, Sedro Woolley, University and Sunnyside. Tyke Reid kicked off the championship finals for the Hornets with a big win at 120 pounds.

Little changed for Enumclaw High at the West Central District 3A boys swim and dive championships Saturday at Hazen High in Renton. The 200-yard medley relay and individuals Bennon VanHoof, Thomas Petersen and Jesse Skipworth will compete Friday and Saturday at the state championships at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way. Each had qualified earlier on time or by points during the regular season. The difference is Will Cooper, who will join the Hornets as an individual in the 100 butterfly, and Austin Kaehn, who qualified in diving. Cooper finished third at the district meet to earn his lane at state. As a team, the Hornets finished fifth behind winner Kennedy, Hazen,
Peninsula and Wilson. The medley relay of Petersen, VanHoof, Gabe Sales and Cooper finished second to Kennedy with a state time of 1 minute, 44 seconds. Skipworth finished fourth in diving with a final score of 302.35. Kaehn finished seventh and earned a wildcard spot into state. VanHoof finished fourth in the 100 freestyle with a state time of 50.09 and second in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:00.64. Petersen finished third in the 100 backstroke with a finals time of 57.79. Cooper will also serve as an alternate in the 500 freestyle where he finished sixth. The Hornets’ 400 freestyle relay of Cooper, Mason Culp, Petersen and VanHoof also finished sixth.

After getting nipped for the subdistrict title, the White River High boys wrestling team rallied to win the regional tournament Saturday at Olympic High. The Hornets will take six into Friday and Saturday’s state 2A tournament at the Tacoma Dome. Paced by champions Brandon Short and Chris Skinner, WRHS finished with 141 points, just ahead of Kingston, 121.5, Port Angeles, 115.5, and Fife. Short won the 145-pound title with an 8-3 win over Brian McCarty of North Mason. Skinner captured the 182-pound championship with a 14-6 major decision over Brian Cristion of Port Angeles. Hornet Travis Morris, 170, was also a finalist, coming in second to Dakota Hinton of

Enumclaw High freshman KC Moulden’s 26-second pin of Kimoko Misioka of Fife for the 265-pound regional title Saturday gave the Hornets a big push into the state girls wrestling tournament. Moulden will be joined by teammates Sam Lanting, Jade Paterson, Danielle Cormier and Logann Erskine as competition at the Tacoma Dome gets under way Friday morning and continues the following day. At Saturday’s regional tournament at Emerald Ridge in Puyallup, Cormier was also a
finalist. She finished second to Lateah Holmes of Fife in the 145-pound final. Paterson captured third at 170 pounds, while Lanting took one of the final spots into the state tournament at 265. Erskine finished fifth and will compete in an early-morning pigtail round at 155 pounds Friday at state. As a team, Enumclaw, with 103 points, placed third behind White River, 134, and Federal Way, 131.

Lady Hornets stay alive for districts By Kevin Hanson
EHS Girls Basketball
The Enumclaw High girls will look to keep their basketball season alive tonight, Wednesday, when they take on Camas in the opening round of the West Central/ Southwest district tournament. Game time is 6 p.m. in the Clover Park gymnasium. It is a loser-out contest. The Hornet girls had qualified for district play as the No. 5 seed and, in Camas, will take on the No. 2 seed from the Greater St. Helens League. If the Hornets win tonight,
they will play Tacoma’s Wilson High at 4:30 p.m. Friday, again at Clover Park. A victory over Wilson would send EHS to the state tournament. A Friday loss would not end the Hornets’ season, but would require a Saturday victory in the district loser’s bracket to guarantee a state berth. To qualify for district competition, the Hornets split a pair of contests last week. A Thursday, 61-49 loss to Bremerton set the stage for a crucial, bounce-back, 59-46 win over Decatur Saturday.

Coach Bonnie Kennedy said the energy on the floor and in the stands rivaled that of a 3A state championship game. “There was a point when Anna drove the length of the floor, pulled up at the baseline and stroked a smooth jumper that caught nothing but net; the place absolutely erupted,” Kennedy said. “And Anna knows how to play to the crowd on her way back up the floor. It was a sensational night.” Help from Enumclaw Middle School’s Rachel’s Challenge Club, Thunder Mountain staff with announcer, Chad Davidson, TMMS leadership club, the Enumclaw High School pep band, EHS cheerleaders, Enumclaw School District administration, volunteer coaches and all the fans who packed the gym cheering for the athletes made it a community event.

Radenmacher scores 19 in EHS victory By John Leggett
EHS Boys Basketball
The Enumclaw High boys basketball team didn’t do itself any favors by dropping its final two regular season contests to Bonney Lake earning the No. 5 seed from the South Puget Sound League 3A with a league record of 3-7. The Hornets shook off that omen and was successful in the only chance it was given to move on in the subdistrict seeding matches. In a loser-out meeting in Bremerton Thursday, EHS rose to the challenge, win-
ning 76-64. “Our goal was to attack the rim offensively, using their aggressiveness against them and to get stops defensively. I feel like we were successful on both counts,” Hornet coach Kellen Hall said. Tony Chynoweth, who finished the regular season as one of the top three scorers in the SPSL 3A by averaging more than 17 points per contest, guided EHS to a 44-39 halftime advantage. But it was the blue-collar play of 6-foot, 7-inch Drake Radenmacher that spelled

Bremerton’s demise. Radenmacher accounted for 19 points and hauled down 15 rebounds. Although Enumclaw dodged one bullet by beating the Knights, it could not sidestep Lakes Saturday. Lakes finished second in the SPSL 3A with an 8-2 league mark and shattered Enumclaw’s dreams of advancing to district play. The Lancers dashed the Hornets’ postseason hopes with an 78-65 home-court victory, behind the dominant inside play of 6-9 center Zach Banner. 195-pound title, while teammate Mikaela Kilcup won the 170-pound crown, pinning Iman Hampton of Emerald Ridge in 3:18.

White River clashes with Renton
Hornets take top 2A seed
By John Leggett Half of the games the White River boys basketball squad had lost this season were to South Puget Sound League 2A rival Sumner High. So, when the Hornets finally managed to defeat the Spartans 49-42 in a subdistrict seeding contest Saturday evening at Foster High, it pushed their overall record to 18-4. No White River boys basketball team has won that many games, before postseason play, since the cage crew that went to the state tournament in the mid-1990s. “The only thing we did a little better against the Spartans than we had done in our previous two meetings was handle their press more proficiently,” coach Rick Tripp said. “We also shot 40 percent from the field instead of the nightmarish 20 percent we shot against the Spartans in their gym in that lousy last regular season game of the year.”
By Kevin Hanson Editor
In its most recent conflict with Sumner, White River had fallen behind 22-19 at intermission but began to catch fire in the third period and tied the contest at 32 apiece heading into the final eight minutes of play. White River outscored the Spartans 18-10 in the fourth frame to finally sack its vaunted valley adversary. The rough patches may be behind the Hornets now though as they journey into the Class 2A district scene. White River took on Renton Tuesday night in a loser-out clash. If White River defeated the Indians and avoided elimination, the Hornets will face Sequim at 6 p.m. Thursday at Lakes. The winner of that battle will punch its ticket to the Class 2A state tournament in Yakima, but the loser will be forced to White River’s Dustin France gets off a pass during subdisdip into the loser’s bracket and win three straight trict tournament play.

A pair of subdistrict victories – including Saturday’s defeat of Renton High, ranked No. 9 in the state – gave the White River Hornets the No. 1 seed into the West Central District basketball tournament. That means the Hornets have a first-round bye and are just two victories away from yet another appearance in a state hoop extravaganza. After repeated state trips as a Class 3A school, the Hornets qualified last year during their first journey through the 2A ranks. The Hornets’ tourney march begins at 8 p.m. Friday at Lakes High School. White River will face the winner of a contest between Interlake and Lindbergh being played tonight, Wednesday. If the Hornets win Friday they will play at 8:15 p.m. Saturday, again at Lakes, already assured of a state berth; should they lose Friday, they will play at 12:45 p.m. Saturday, needing a victory, plus another win Monday, to qualify for the state tournament. Saturday night’s 56-31 victory over Renton was still in doubt at halftime, with the Hornets on top 29-21, but the third period made all the difference. A 16-4 surge during those eight minutes gave White River a 20-point cushion that only grew as the contest wound down. The Hornets put 11 players into the scoring column, none needing a big night to assure the victory. Kennedy Hobert and Kristin Sturdivan scored nine points each to lead the way. White River’s subdistrict experience got under way Thursday evening with a 60-41 victory over the Port Angeles Roughriders. The Hornets established their dominance early, building a double-digit lead at 20-10 by the end of the first quarter. The ‘Riders cut the margin to seven points late in the first half, but White River bounced back and was never threatened again. Hobert scored 18 in the first half on the way to a game-high 24 points and Cassidy France added 16.

DISTRICT FROM 3 meeting, I don’t foresee anything (in regards to construction) in the next five years,” Terhune said. “If you look at the strategic plan, the strategic plan says something different. It planned for a fire station in that time period, but looking at the need and what we can do, I don’t think we’re going to see a new station soon.” The fire district last year paid $495,000 for acreage on Roosevelt Avenue, on the western edge of Enumclaw. But that purchase was made for future planning purposes, Terhune said.
“The strategic plan and future plan all have to do with future changes,” Clow added. “If the economy doesn’t improve (the fire station) is never going to go up fast. “What I’m trying to say is that, under the plan, we might specify that under ideal conditions we would hire this number of people at this time, but circumstances change.” When confronted with a question whether a new fire station on the edge of the city would be ideal for reaching city fires, the commissioners and chief indicated a map of the district and showed that the location was chosen for its

overall, superior access to the district. Commission representation “I think one of the biggest problems we have from a taxpayer standpoint, when it comes time to negotiate firefighter contracts, we have three commissioners who are fire professionals on one side and the firefighter unions on the other,” Qualls said. “That looks bad.” “A lot of this stuff you’re talking about is stuff we don’t control,” Terhune responded, citing factors like rising insurance premiums and federal laws requiring four responders in order to enter a burning building; in effect, requiring at least four firefighters on the clock at all times. Qualls stepped to a whiteboard to offer some ideas for cutting costs. One suggestion was that
Enumclaw/King County emulate Buckley/Pierce County in using private medical company AMR for ambulance and paramedic services. Finally, Qualls reached his climactic point: “I look at this district map that includes Enumclaw, and I see three commissioners that live outside Enumclaw,” Qualls said. “And my conclusion is that this isn’t working.” The commissioners stared at him for a moment. “What’s not working?” Terhune asked. “Um, this,” Qualls said. “This here. You.” Shouting erupted. “We just had an election,” Terhune said, pointing out that an Enumclaw citizen could have run for a commission position. “Anyone in the district could have run.” DeVol suggested an
altered legislative body consisting of fire professionals, city officials and private citizens. “What you’re describing is illegal,” Terhune said. “You can’t have a (publicly) elected group that restricts qualifications to certain professions.” Terhune went on to criticize Qualls for the “JV move” of making allegations against the fire district in a letter to The Courier-Herald, with allegedly incomplete information and without asking the fire chief face-to-face about the issues in question. “If my letter was so ‘junior varsity,’ how come I have people coming into my office to thank me for it?” Qualls said. “Where are they Mike?” Terhune said. “Because I don’t see them here. I only see you here.” “There’s no representa-
tion in the city,” Qualls said. “And, again, we put it up to a vote,” Terhune replied. “If, in the next election, you want to put someone up against me to take the job, you’re more than welcome. I would prefer to be at home and spend time with my family. “But you’re trying to say the commissioners only represent the county’s interests, and that’s not true.” The conversation simmered down, and all parties eventually apologized to one another for their outbursts. “To me, it doesn’t matter if you’re on Porter (Street) or out in the gorge, this fire station serves you,” Clow said, closing out the night. “Regardless of what happens with any kind of levy vote, this kind of public involvement is what’s important.”

pointing out homeless can include those who are sleeping on a friend’s couch, camping or living in a car. She said homelessness covers a wide range of ages from youth to seniors. “You don’t think it’s here,
but it’s here,” she said. Nelson also noted free and reduced lunch counts at the Enumclaw School District have grown from 21 percent in 2005 to more than 30 percent, and 33 students are registered as homeless in the Enumclaw School District. “There’s a lot of creativity here,” she said. “I think the possibilities are endless.” The senior center has served a hot meal since 1974 and is the only senior center in King and Pierce counties to still serve a hot meal. Its daily lunch program remains strong, but its hot meal program to homebound seniors will disappear. Nickum said a frozen meal is available, but they are difficult for seniors to prepare. She said there are added bonuses when a volunteer delivers the meal that go above and beyond dropping off a frozen dinner. Volunteers spend time with the seniors while they eat their meal and check on them to make sure they do
not need help. The senior center currently delivers between four and 10 meals a day. Madill said what they are looking for are people to fill the gaps – stakeholders and decision makers, funding resources, food that can be prepared locally by a contractor, a volunteer-based delivery system and a parttime coordinator. The goal would be to serve a hot meal once a day, five days a week, to homebound seniors with their eye on feeding 30 elders on the Plateau by June and 50 by December. Eventually, the program would expand to include weekend and family meals, special events and a van that could reach youth, families and the homeless. The group is starting with short-term goals like forming a committee and identifying a structure, clarifying goals and getting started. “There are some awesome possibilities,” Madill said. “We’re starting off with baby steps before we take off running.” Anyone interested in becoming a part of the movement can contact Madill at JackquelineMadill@ fhshealth.org, Nelson at britt@plateauoutreach.org or Nickum at jnickum@ ci.enumclaw.wa.us.
“We are seeing more homeless people on a weekly basis at Plateau Outreach Ministries,” Nelson said,

All are invited to attend Rachel’s Challenge ceremony
Wednesday, February 15, 2012 • The Enumclaw Courier-Herald • Page 27
The wave of kindness and compassion continues to grow as the Enumclaw School District reports it is .75 miles shy of its 2-mile Rachel’s Challenge link goal. With the final celebration planned for March 6 at 6:30 p.m. at the Pete’s Pool stadium, the district is asking for a big final push. For the past seven months, students and community members have been recording the acts of kindness and compassion witnessed on paper chains, which have been linked together to, so far, reach 1.25 miles. “I am so very grateful for all involved and it has been so incredible to not only see large links in our schools, but also in the front windows of our businesses,” Superintendent Mike Nelson wrote in his Feb. 5 Sunday Evening News. The community is welcome to the March 6 celebration. The evening will begin with a welcome, followed by a presentation of chains, student testimonies, a speaker and more.
Relay meeting set A team captain meeting for Buckley’s Relay For Life is planned for 7 tonight, Wednesday, at Finn Hall. The venue is a few blocks south of state Route 410 on 234th Avenue East. Captain meetings take place the second Wednesday of each month, with future meetings on March 14, April 11 and May 9. Committee member meetings begin promptly at 5:45 p.m. Register teams online at www.relay-
