The Enumclaw City Council approved a resolution at the regular Monday meeting stating its position that the city’s property tax levy rate would not be reduced if the library annexation vote is approved in April. Resolution 1449 passed unanimously 6-0 and

stated “the City Council does not intend to reduce the City’s property tax levy rate” should the annexation measure be approved by voters. Councilman Darrel Dickson was not present. The resolution was amended. Councilman Sean Krebs requested the second statement in the resolution stating the city could no longer provide sufficient funds for the municipal library be cut.

“We can provide funding,” Kerbs said. “We are just choosing not to. We are choosing to fund other projects like parks and police and roads. I don’t believe it is wholly accurate (to state the city could not fund the library). We did in fact fund it this year. If it was this council’s will we could continue to at some diminished level.”

WR, Enumclaw gridiron battle back on schedule By Kevin Hanson Senior Writer
The call for rain Wednesday and Thursday switches to “a chance of rain” Friday through the weekend. Daytime high temperatures will be near 50 degrees and nighttime lows will drop to near freezing. It’s unlikely we will see any snow. Poor weather for sports Many Enumclaw and White River contests were scrapped due to poor weather. Maybe this week kids will get a break.

Young heroes honored by city By Dennis Box Editor
A young girl, Stormie Chisam, and five Enumclaw Aquatic Center lifeguards joined in a dramatic effort that saved a girl’s life March 8. Stormie, a third grader, was in the pool
with a friend. When Stormie realized the girl was developing a medical problem, she quickly ran to lifeguard Bella Davenport and reported the emergency. Bella jumped into the water and brought the girl to the surface, making sure she was breathing. Along with other lifeguards Alyse Price, Bennon VanHoof, Spencer Stewart and Riley Sexton, Bella stabilized

The cross-river rivalry is back. A fall football game between Enumclaw and White River high schools has been contested more than 60 times, but was put on hold following the 2009 season and has not been played the last two prep campaigns. That all changed last week. The breakthrough hinged on the resignation of EHS football coach Don Bartel, who had made it clear he generally did not

Buckley reforms dealings with dogs
Going Green
RIVALRY FROM 1 like playing smaller schools. Enumclaw Athletic Director Kevin Smith gives coach great latitude when setting schedules, so the neighboring teams did not meet the past two years. White River athletic director Chris Gibson had complained that a gridiron battle between the Plateau rivals was not scheduled. When Gibson heard last week that Bartel had stepped down, he contacted Smith and, quickly, the rivalry was renewed. Smith admits he’s a fan of maintaining traditional rivalries. The only thing that might have prohibited a HornetHornet battle this fall was scheduling. Both teams had slated nonleague opponents for the opening week of the season – Enumclaw was to host Lincoln High of Tacoma and White River was paired against nearby, Class 3A Bonney Lake. All it took was two quick phone calls and two willing athletic directors who saw the value in a White River-Enumclaw contest. Now, on Aug. 31, White River will visit Enumclaw while Bonney Lake and Lincoln square off at Sunset Chev Stadium in Sumner. As part of a two-year agreement, Enumclaw will travel to White River in 2013. “I’m excited for the White River community, the Enumclaw community and the two football teams,” Gibson said. “It’s good for everyone to have this game take place.” Smith agreed. “Rivalries are fun for the kids, for the communities,” he said.

Louisa Boren Denny was a Seattle Founding Pioneer. She was the wife of David Thomas Denny, sister of Carson Dobbins Boren and Mary Ann (Boren) Denny. She arrived on the shores of what would become the future City of Seattle on November 13, 1851. After marrying David Denny in 1853, Liza took seeds she carried over two thousand miles and planted them outside their cabin on what is now Denny Way. Travel back in time to the 1850’s as Women’s Historian, Debbie Dimitri, brings Louisa to life.

EXTRA PATROL: Police were asked March 15 to check the area around Flensted Park, due to school-age kids hanging around before and after school, smoking, making noise and littering. NOT WANTED: The owner of Roosevelt Avenue property complained March 15 of someone who appeared to be living in a motor home in the parking lot. The property owner had left a note asking that the motor home be moved. Police provided information relating to having the RV impounded. PUBLIC DISTURBANCE: A city officer responded March 15 to a Warner Avenue location after learning of a man who had been drinking, was not wanted at the scene and was observed urinating in the area. The suspect was located, arrested and booked for creating a public disturbance. PRISONER TRANSPORT: Police were alerted March 14 to a man at Enumclaw City Hall (Maple Valley Court) who was wanted on a Renton warrant. A city officer transported the man to Four Corners, where he was turned over to Renton authorities. UTILITY PROBLEMS: Police received a call just after 5 a.m. March 13 regarding a low-hanging wire on Roosevelt Avenue at Florence Street. The road was blocked off. Later in the day, due to more snowfall, the line snapped and was handing down in the roadway. Also on the morning of the 13th, a report was taken of a Comcast cable partially blocking Lowell Avenue. An officer moved it out of the way until Comcast could respond. FOUND PROPERTY: An officer responded March 13 to a Griffin Avenue address after someone reporting finding a large bag of green vegetation. It was retrieved by police and was to be destroyed. BAD SITUATION: Police were told the morning of March 12 of a young child left inside a car parked at a Cole Street address. The child appeared to be cold and, according to a witness, the same situation had occurred the week before. The vehicle was gone before police arrived; an officer checked the area again the following day and was unable to locate the vehicle. AGENCY ASSIST: City police were asked to assist King County medical health authorities March 12 while they contacted an Enumclaw resident and removed him from his residence. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: A woman entered the police station lobby at 10:20 p.m. March 12, reporting a recent domestic disturbance. She was examined by medics and taken to St. Elizabeth Hospital due to a hand injury. A man arrived at the station soon after, wishing to make a statement. He was booked into jail for fourth-degree assault and interfering with a domestic violence report. SHERIFF ASSIST: King County deputies asked Enumclaw police March 12 to contact solicitors at an address of Southeast 448th Street. It was noted the solicitors were possible suspects in a burglary. Officers made the requested contact then turned things over to county authorities. OUTBOARD THEFT: The theft of an outboard motor valued at $2,300 was reported the evening of March 10. The incident occurred at a McHugh Avenue address. UNWANTED PERSON: Police were asked shortly before midnight March 10 to remove a person from a Roosevelt Avenue establishment. The individual was ordered to stay away for one year and was given a ride from the scene.

The city of Buckley has reformed its procedure for dealing with dogs declared dangerous. The altered municipal code stipulates that no dog owner will be charged a fee to appeal a dangerous animal declaration, and the animal control officer must provide a preponderance of evidence the dog is a danger to the community. The owner will have 20 days from the time he receives a dangerous dog notice to appeal the declaration to the city administrator. The change was prompted by an email from Kristin Eick, an attorney for Ogden Murphy Wallace law firm, regarding the city’s compliance with state Supreme Court case Downey v. Pierce County. “[The case] held that Pierce County’s dangerous animal ordinance was unconstitutional because it required the owner who had been issued a dangerous animal declaration to pay an appeal fee prior to obtaining an evidentiary hearing and also because it did not include the appropriate standard of proof,” Eick wrote in a letter to city administrator Dave Schmidt. “I don’t think Buckley specifically establishes the preponderance of the evidence standard in its ordinance, and I’m not sure if you typically charge an appeal or review fee, so you may want to do a quick housekeeping ordinance.” The municipal code as written prior to Tuesday’s City Council vote to alter it did not include language allowing a set fee to be charged. But the unanimous vote to change the BMC made the non-charge explicit.

ties were striving to make this perfect community a reality in their lives. We see that not only did these folks worship together, but they also shared meals together and even went so far as to sell their own possessions in order to help care for the more needy members of their community. Can you imagine what our society would look like if more of us were willing to put community ahead of our own self-interest? Now, I’m not saying that life would be perfect or that our community would be without strife from time to time, but I do firmly

I love being part of a community that cares. The more I learn, the more I am convinced that the paramount thing that we can learn from Jesus’ teachings is how to be a part of a community. When the gospel and the law are reduced to their most basic, they are really about the re-establishment and retention of a Godgiven form of community. God himself exists in community, as a triune father, son and spirit, living in a loving, ever-present, perfect community. I believe that we were created in his image to reflect that same communal sense of ever-steadfast caring and pres-

LIBRARY FROM 1 The motion for the amendment passed unanimously. Voters will decide on Proposition No. 1 April 17. The proposition asks whether the King County Library System should annex the Enumclaw Library. If the proposition is approved the King County Library System would begin operating the Enumclaw Library, and could levy 50 cents per $1,000 of assessed value on city property owners. Following are some of the frequently asked questions about the annexation vote, as provided on the city website, www.ci.enumclaw. wa.us/. Who is the King County Library System? The King County Rural Library District (referred to as King County Library System) has provided library services to King County residents since 1942. It is separate from and not a part of King County
government. Today, the cities of Enumclaw and Seattle are the only two cities not served by KCLS. Over the years KCLS has grown to become the busiest library system in the United States. It operates 44 libraries throughout the King County. In addition to books, KCLS makes available for download eBooks, audio books, music and videos. In 2010 it circulated over 22.4 million items making it the busiest library system in the country. Under KCLS, library hours would increase from the current 36 hours per week to 59-63 hours per week. How is the King County Library System Funded? KCLS is a library district and by state law is able to access and collect a property tax levy from property tax owners within its district. KCLS is able to levy a maximum of fifty (50) cents per $1,000 assessed value of a property. The property tax collected pays for the operation of the library system.

only about one minute, her breath sounds were checked again, she was having labored but successful breathing. The guards talked to the victim to make sure she understood what was going on and kept her awake while getting information from her and her friend. While Bella, Spencer and Alyse worked with the victim, Bennon and Riley Sexton cleared the pool and controlled the crowd to make sure was no one interfering with the scene. “The Enumclaw police arrived to the scene within a couple minutes, while they gathered information, the guards continued care, talking to the victim making sure she stayed conscious and monitoring her pulse and breathing. “The Enumclaw fire department EMT’s arrived within three minutes or so of the call and once on scene took over care. “I should let you know that all but one of these wonderful lifeguards are students at EHS. These kids are all fantastic and driven; they put others before themselves which is why they are lifeguards, not because they like the pool but because they all have a love of community and a sense of civic responsibility and I could not be more proud of them as well as the rest of my staff.”

RESCUE FROM 1
• How Much Would it Cost? To figure out how much the library property tax would cost you, take the value of your home and divide that value by 1,000; then multiple by .50. Example - a home valued at $250,000; divide 250,000 by 1,000 = 250; then multiply 250 x .50= $125. Thus a homeowner would pay to KCLS each year $125 beginning in 2013. What happens if Annexation Election fails? The Enumclaw library is operating off of a one-time funding allocation in 2012. No funds have been identified for operation past 2012. If the Enumclaw Library is closed can I get or use my KCLS card? If the Enumclaw library is closed in 2013, city residents will not be able to obtain a KCLS library card and any city resident with a KCLS library card will no longer be able to use it at any of the KCLS branch libraries. Closure of the Enumclaw library terminates the current agreement.

ur 32nd president was right on the money with his unique observation about the power that accompanies higher education. But for those who, like FDR, cling to the belief that our nation’s good health is tied to an informed, educated populace, these are trying times indeed. Simply put, the Kevin Hanson reality of college Senior Writer tuition is making a bachelor’s degree a dicey proposal, indeed. Other associated events conspire to take a bit of the luster off the rewards that come with a four-year degree (four years, really?) Washington’s legislature hasn’t just whittled away at higher education funding, it has taken a Paul Bunyanesque approach, chopping away with a vengeance. No one claims lawmakers have an easy job, with a rocky economy wreaking havoc on statewide revenue flows, but legislative actions have produced a litany of troubles in the world of acedemia. Nestled in the snug environs of the Palouse, Washington State University is boasting of an incoming freshman class that will be the largest in WSU history, more than 4,000 strong. That sounds impressive on the surface, but a university official recently reminded an alumni gathering that not all that glitters is gold. The large incoming class simply shows there are hundreds of students being admitted that wouldn’t have made the cut just a few short years ago.

Tuition outpacing Letters strictly the ability to pay Homosexuality a civil rights issue “A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car, but if he has a university education he may steal the whole railroad.” – Franklin Delano Roosevelt
LAST WEEK: Do you believe the Legislature will agree on a budget?
While I can appreciate Scott Spanier’s choice to treat homosexuals with kindness, dignity and respect, I take issue with his supposition that being a homosexual is a behavior, rather than a civil right issue. Any reference to the Bible is a nonissue. How can you put so much stock in the ancient writings of ignorant sheep herders? It has no place in the government. Scott says, “If a Hispanic or Asian American walks down the street I know this by the color of their skin. If a homosexual walks down the same street, I have NO idea of what their sexual preference is, nor do I care.” The laws of Washington state apply to everyone regardless of whether Scott can recognize a gay person. Washington state law also protects all it’s citizens from being discriminated against in the workplace; that includes those citizens with different sexual preferences. Homosexuality crosses all species, it’s been around forever. They are people that go to work, pay the mortgage, raise children and pay their taxes just like you and me. I am not gay, but I understand the struggle that they endure. No one should be ridiculed, ignored, hated, beaten or killed because of who they love. It is a civil rights issue. Lorie van Veen Buckley
No reason for yes vote on library annexation There is movement afoot to give the Enumclaw city library over to the King County Library System. I believe this would be a sad event and a move that could have regrettable consequences. I realize that Enumclaw, like many other municipalities, is facing budget constraints and I sympathize with the government officials that are doing their best to make the system keep working. Arguments in favor of losing the city library to the King County Library System would offer services superior to what is offered presently. Patrons would have electronic access to all the books in KC library. This may be true but Enumclaw library has always obtained books for me that I requested, even from so far away as Alaska and Oregon. I believe that many city library users are unaware that they can request interlibrary loaned books. King County may indeed offer a streamlined system for inter-library loans, but what could we lose by turning our library over to the KCLS? Most governmental organizations are facing budget crunches. If it should come to pass that the King County Library System decides that the Enumclaw branch is a low priority amongst its many other facilities, then the citizens of Enumclaw, users of the library, would find they have no control over the fate of this important community resource. Almost 10 years ago, King County announced that it would close the local pool. It was through a grassroots
effort that the citizens of Enumclaw swayed the city government to take over the pool by agreeing by vote to a small property tax increase. Now Enumclaw can be proud of this wonderful facility that, like a library, brings so many benefits to its citizens. Area residents would have been hard pressed to mount any kind of political movement to stop the county from reneging on its commitment to keep the pool open. Similarly, King County Library System could do anything it wanted with our library and citizens would be virtually powerless to prevent it. I have talked to many people who believe that King County Library System would do a better job providing for their library needs than the city library can. I do not believe that people would vote to keep the library status quo. People want a vibrant, modern, efficient library system and they should get it. King County would levy 50 cents per $1,000 property value for the library. So letting go of your library to some distant, larger government entity is of dubious benefit. You would not be saving money. The city of Enumclaw could raise taxes less than 50 cents (maybe 10 cents to 15 cents per $1,000) and use that money to bring the city library the needed improvements. People considering this kind of tax increase should expect to hear from the library what it would do with the new funds and how it would move itself up to standards of modern 21st century libraries.

LETTERS FROM 7 Enumclaw has had a library for 90 years. Times are rough and now the city stands to lose it for good. Take pride in your small town, USA. Attend city planning meetings and Library Board meetings. Talk this issue over with your friends and neighbors. Consider the irreversible consequences of giving up this extension of your education system, this extension of your home entertainment system, this extension of your small town identity. Consider voting against the annexation of the Enumclaw library by
the King County Library System and explore alternative solutions to keep the Enumclaw library as part of your community. Don Langlois Enumclaw
City needs to maintain control of the library A year ago our library and property was too valuable to turn over to the King County Library System, according to the council and administration. Now they are willing to give up everything to get out from under the library. What happened? In spite of what you
might hear, the money to keep the library running has been from taxes so the council and administration will have extra (taxpayer’s) money if they can off the library. I understand this year the funding is from Fund 180 which is lease dollars and dollars from the sale of the Sears property. That would all belong to the taxpayer, not the council or administration. Anyone who would like to use the KCLS libraries are welcome to do so with no restrictions. We have a large investment in the Enumclaw, taxpayerowned library and it would be a really unwise move to just give it away. Think
www.courierherald.com about it – we wouldn’t give away City Hall, I hope. The annexation would not give us a free library but would begin by costing 50 cents on $1,000 (property value) and now that KCLS has done a lid lift they will be able to charge more than that. We do not need to get rid of the library to keep from going into bankruptcy so let’s keep our assets as we slowly head into better times. I am very much in favor of a lid lift to fund the library or a library district if that is possible. If we need to reduce services at least we won’t be giving up the library. If the burden of the Enumclaw library is too much to manage then perhaps we need to privatize our natural gas, water and sewer. I think not. George Tracy Enumclaw

Times have changed. We live in a different world from the time when Enumclaw opened its library back in the 1920s. Emotionally, I can understand the desire to hold on to the old and familiar. Rationally, holding onto our library doesn’t make sense anymore. The city is strapped for funds and may have to close the library if the King County Library System (KCLS) annexation vote fails on April 17th. Unfortunately, we can’t afford to operate the library and also have adequate police protection and keep our streets from deteriorating.

vice of KCLS at their tax rate, but we can’t compete with their system. Back in June 2011, the city council got a letter of recommendation from the Library Board. In that letter the Board made a recommendation to fund the library with a property tax rate of 40 cents per $1,000 plus $260,000 from the general fund to restore it to pre-cut levels. In actual total dollar amounts, that is equivalent of about 65 cents per $1,000 property valuation. Using a very simple cost/benefit analysis, KCLS would give the citizens of Enumclaw better service and longer hours for a maximum of 50 cents per $1,000 valuation. The council did listen to the Library Board – they weren’t ignored. That’s the primary reason the council chose to continue with the KCLS annexation vote. Remember, please, that the council had been studying this issue for over a year. Contrary to what the authors of the March 12th letter stated, the council did listen to the arguments of those opposed to KCLS annexation. The City Council did practice due diligence. The library director at the time was not kept silent nor was he kept out of the decision making process. I know this because I was one of the members of the City Council at the time. The City Council just passed a resolution with a 6-0 vote stating they would not give the money out of the general fund back to the taxpayers if the KCLS annexation passes. The reason is because your elected council knows that city revenue is drying up. Based on this year’s budget, there is no money for fixing the streets. The money used to fund the library this year is coming from a reserve property fund. That funding will end in December. The harsh reality is that the city can no longer fund the library and maintain core services properly. The harsh reality is that the city can’t function by giving the library money back to the taxpayers and the council knows it. I do know that at least three council members have stated the library will close if the KCLS annexation vote fails. It’s a painful but harsh possibility. If the levy fails and the library is closed, we have no way to have access to KCLS. They
don’t sell library cards. The city website of frequently asked questions states this information. Fact: The city of Renton did not impose an unexpected levy on the property owners of their city. KCLS annexation was offered along with the statement the city would fund two new library buildings. This was a city decision by elected officials, not KCLS. This information was put in the voter information packet, voted on, and passed by a majority of Renton voters. I know because I called up the city administrator of Renton and the KCLS director and asked them. No tax was imposed without a vote of the population. Times change. What worked for 94 years isn’t working anymore. I urge you to vote yes for KCLS on April 17th. Richard Elfers Chair/Pro-statement Committee Enumcmlaw
Library annexation offers many more resources I am writing in support of the Enumclaw City Library being annexed to the King County Library System. While I just read the letter opposing annexation, I didn’t see any reasons why Enumclaw should retain operation of the library other than local control and the City Council didn’t follow procedure. However, I know of several reasons why the library should be annexed to King County: 1. Currently I have to drive to Black Diamond in order to pick up material that I have requested; I can’t request a hold be delivered to Enumclaw. 2. I tried to return a book to Enumclaw and was told that I should drive to a King County library because King County doesn’t pick up material on a regular basis. 3. The Enumclaw library is closed two days a week and has shortened hours the other five days. Most King County libraries are open seven days a week. 4. Most King County libraries have a book club which meets monthly while Enumclaw doesn’t

Thousands of scams targeting seniors reduce their loved ones’ risks of being victimized by telemarketing fraud. • Legitimate marketers are not in a rush to sell products or secure donations. A legitimate marketer or charity will not try to pressure prospective buyers into making a purchase over the phone or prospective donors into making immediate contributions. Explain to seniors that a legitimate marketer will accept a person’s desire for written information about the products or charity and will gladly send such information to a prospective buyer or donor’s home. • Payments are typically not picked up by a courier service. Telemarketing fraudsters often employ couriers to pick up payments. This is not the action of a reputable charity
Homes must be made safe for aging parents Since the economy began to slip, a notable and often newsworthy trend reported on across the country was the growing number of “boomerang” kids. After a brief period living on their own, boomerang kids return to live with their parents. While boomerang kids might get the most publicity, another trend has also been steadily growing. According to the Pew Research Center, 20 percent of individuals age 65 and older lived in a multigenerational household in 2008. That marked a 3 percent increase from 1990. While there’s no single reason why more and more elderly residents are moving in with their adult children, the still-struggling economy has likely played a significant role. Elderly men and women who lost retirement savings as the market tumbled can no longer afford the costly expense of an assisted living facility, causing many of those people to move back in with their children. For adult children welcoming a parent or an inlaw into their home, a common priority is to ensure the home is safe for an elderly resident. Some safety measures might be easier to plan than others, but the
following guidelines should help adults prepare their homes for the arrival of an elderly housemate. Reduce Risk of Injury in the Bathroom Perhaps no room can be more difficult for seniors to navigate than the bathroom. Wet tile floors can greatly increase the risk of falling, so men and women should make sure to have bathroom rugs that are slip-resistant. Slip-resistant rugs typically have a rubber bottom and won’t move even if the floor is wet. Another step to secure the bathroom is to install grab bars on the walls, including in the bathtub and next to the toilet. Also, make sure the towel bars are secure, as seniors might grab onto towel bars if they feel they are about to fall or need to regain their balance. As for the bathtub, be sure to place a non-skid mat or strips on the standing area. This can help secure arguably the riskiest part of a home not just for elderly residents but all inhabitants of a home. According to the National Safety Council, most falls in the home occur in the bathroom. Securing a slippery tub with non-skid mats or strips can greatly reduce the risk of a fall.
Keep the Home Illuminated Understandably, many homeowners look to save money around the house, and turning off the lights at night is both common and financially savvy. However,
or business, and seniors should never agree to buy a product or donate money to any telemarketer who offers to send a courier to their home to pick up payment. • Sweepstakes cannot legally require payment to win a prize. It is not legal for contests or sweepstakes to require “winners” pay a fee before they can enter a contest or claim a prize. Seniors should be made aware that this is the law and that any contest or sweepstakes demanding payment is bogus. • Be especially wary of companies offering to recover money paid to fraudulent telemarketers in the past. Companies offering to recover past money lost to fraud are often fraudulent themselves. These companies will offer their fraudulent services when a home has an elderly resident, it’s best to ensure the home is at least partially illuminated. Nightlights should be used in hallways and along the staircase as well as in the bathroom and the kitchen. Elderly residents likely won’t be familiar with where the light switches are, at least not immediately. So keep the house at least partially illuminated overnight in case a senior housemate must wake up to use the restroom or get a glass of water in the middle of the night.
for a fee. • Money lost to a fraudulent telemarketer is likely lost forever. Men and women concerned about elderly friends or relatives being victimized by telemarketing fraud should explain to their loved ones that money lost in a telemarketing scam is not likely to be recovered. This should help highlight the importance of receiving official documentation from any telemarketers before buying a product or making a donation. If seniors are aware their money isn’t likely to be recovered should it be going to a criminal, they are much less likely to make hasty decisions over the phone. To learn more about fraud, visit the National Consumer League’s Fraud Center at www.fraud.org.
Clear Out the Clutter A cluttered home is a fire hazard regardless of whom is living inside. However, a cluttered home is also a considerable safety risk for seniors. When preparing a home for an elderly resident, be sure the bedroom is not overcrowded. Make certain there is a clear path in which elderly residents can walk around the bed. Clutter can also collect in the living room. Ideally, elderly residents should have a clear path on which to walk from room to room.

Seniors are too often victimized by telemarketing fraud. Studies from the American Association of Retired Persons have shown that many elderly fraud victims simply don’t suspect the person soliciting money on the phone could be a criminal. The FBI reports that there are as many as 14,000 illegal telemarketing operations going on at any given time. These illegal operations generate as much as $40 billion a year. Relatives of seniors are understandably concerned, particularly if those seniors live alone and no one is around to monitor how many calls they’re receiving from telemarketers. Concerned relatives can share the following information with seniors to

If the warning is Mayan, I’m just not buyin’ Well, just in case you haven’t heard, the world is coming to an end this year. It’s the Mayan calendar, you know. On the 21st of December – which the Mayans surely realized was the first day of winter because they were really into astronomy –
their 2000-year-old calendar comes to an end. And various cults, religions and prophets of one type or another attach a great deal of significance to this. But Mayan scholars and archeologists don’t interpret the calendar’s end as an apocalyptic event; instead,

Christ had quite a lot to say on the subject; famine, floods, earthquakes, “wars and rumors of war.” His disciple, Peter, and convert, Paul, perhaps the most important missionaries in the early days of Christianity, both thought these terminal events would happen within their lifetimes, even though Christ allegedly said no one knew when the end would occur. Nostradamus predicted one catastrophe after another. In the late 1800s, renowned philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche painted a pretty gloomy picture of things to come. The apocalypse is currently a popular theme among environmentalists and Christian churches. It’s a topic I frequently debate with my Jehovah’s Witnesses friends.

quakes, tsunamis, tornados and hurricanes, one can’t deny that the apocalyptic signs seem to be everywhere. Couple these with the earth’s growing population, the spreading famine and the lack of clean water and one has to admit that the future doesn’t look especially jolly. Then too, there’s the threat of nuclear annihilation and Armageddon, the final, cataclysmic war. Personally, I kinda subscribe to the Buddhist idea: The earth and all life on it compose a living force and, like all vital beings, it wants to survive. It’s not unlike the Western concept of Mother Nature. If you screw around too much with Mother Nature, she’ll strike back with truly awesome fury and our defenses against such vengeance will be revealed for the flimsy farce they are. Be that as it may, I still remain reasonably confident we’ll be around to celebrate New Year’s Eve 2013.

Quick screening Health myths are dispelled can detect cancer If you were told you could prevent a potentially fatal cancer by getting one test every 10 years, would you do it? A colorectal screening, which is used to identify and remove abnormal growths in the colon and rectum before they develop into cancer, does just that. But when it comes to this gold-standard screening, many men and women procrastinate. Cancers of the colon and rectum, often collectively referred to as colorectal cancer, are life-threatening tumors that develop in the large intestine. These are among the more preventable types of cancer. Still, about 143,000 Americans are diagnosed with colorectal cancer and about 50,000 people die from the disease, every year. Men have a slightly higher risk than women
for developing these cancers. A colonoscopy involves viewing the entire colon using a long, flexible lighted scope. If abnormal growths (called polyps) are discovered, they can often be removed during the procedure. Another Dr. Melanie Orencia bit of good news is that a colonoscopy is easier than you might think. You can choose to be sedated before the test so you are relaxed during the procedure. Most patients who are sedated don’t remember anything about the test. The procedure, which is not painful, lasts only 15 to 20 minutes. Most patients go home the same day

You want to be more physically active. You know you should, but you just don’t have the time, the money, the energy or the equipment. Does this sound familiar? While these barriers seem legitimate are you really unable to commit 20-30 minutes out ofyour day to move your body. Did you know that increased physical activity may reduce your risk of developing diabetes, heart disease and cancer? What’s more, you may sleep better, improve your mood and even increase your energy level. With all of these benefits, are you sure you have no time to exercise?

Well-meaning parents or grandparents often tell children not to do something with the warning that a serious health implication could result. Kids often take their elders at their word. But some of these warnings bear more truth than others. Here’s the scoop on some of the more common misconceptions. Myth: Don’t swim right after eating. The basis of this mantra is that when digesting food, the digestive system pulls blood away from the muscles and the idea is that you could cramp up and drown. While you may have less energy to swim vigorously, chances are you won’t

as their procedure. The U.S. Centers of Disease Control and Prevention recommends men and women begin regular colonoscopies at age 50. However, you may need to get tested at an earlier age if you have had polyps or colon cancer, inflammatory bowel disease or if there is a history of polyps or colon cancer in your family. Talk with your doctor. If polyps are discovered during your colonoscopy, you may need to be screened more frequently than every 10 years. However, most individuals require testing for this condition only every decade. The best way to prevent colorectal cancer is to engage in a healthy lifestyle. Exercising regularly and maintaining a diet low in meat and high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains may help reduce the risk for colon cancer. Do not smoke. Do not drink alcohol in excess. It is also important to have regular colorectal cancer screenings. If you have not had a colonoscopy, talk with your primary care physician or other professional health care provider about this potentially lifesaving procedure. About the writer: Dr. Melanie Orencia is a primary care physician with the Franciscan Medical Group, which is affiliated with St. Elizabeth Hospital in Enumclaw. Need a doctor?

be so weak as to drown. Myth: If you keep your eyes crossed too long, they will get stuck that way. The muscles in the eye are just like any muscles elsewhere in the body. Although they may tire and get sore, they are relatively resilient and can take a lot of wear and tear. Crossing your eyes may tax these muscles, but you won’t do any permanent harm. Myth: Going outside with wet hair will make you sick. Although you will feel colder stepping outside with a part of your body wet, it won’t make you more susceptible to catching a cold. Researchers at the Common Cold Research Unit in England once tested a group of volunteers who were given the cold virus. One half of the group stayed in a warm room, while the others took a bath and stood wet in a hallway for a half hour. The wet group didn’t catch more colds than the dry. Myth: Covering your head is most important because you lose 75 percent of your body heat through it. This calculation is more for an infant whose head makes up a greater percentage of his or her body. In an adult, the figure is closer to 10 percent. Heat can escape from any exposed area of the body. Therefore, it is helpful to bundle up all areas of the body when spending time outdoors in the cold weather. Although many health myths prevail, knowing the truth can help parents educate their children better about which behaviors are safe and which are risky.
One tip to break through whatever keeps you from exercise is to reframe your reasons with positive selftalk. For example, if you say to yourself, “I’m too tired to exercise,” respond with, “Exercise can help me feel more energetic.” If you say, “I can’t go for a walk because of the kids,” respond with, “I’ll take the kids with me for a walk.” Positive self-talk can be a catalyst to change behavior. Another tip is to consistently and frequently reinforce yourself. Write down all the benefits of being more active. Visualize how these benefits will affect you. Anticipate the emotions you will experience from a slimmer physique, reduced stress and better health. Hang your list in a place where you’ll see it often so it reminds you of your commitment and reward daily. Exercise is amazing! It builds self confidence, clears

the mind, helps solve problems, increases productivity and helps reduce the risk of developing illness and disease. Give yourself permission to make the time. Make a deliberate decision to put yourself first and to care for your health. Treat yourself like your own best friend. You will be a better partner, spouse or employee by taking care of yourself. There’s no one better than you to take this step for everyone you know and care about. The first step is to get moving. You can do it! Best wishes for your continued success.

Superintendent’s Message Dear Friends, I am often asked, both in our district and when I am in meetings with other Superintendents across our state about our Full Day Kindergarten program. Our school district has built a strong reputation for the amazing kindergarten program that was started nearly 10 years ago. Below are some key bullets as to why we have so many hard-working volunteers who continue to explore options to restore the full-day kindergarten program free for every child. The Legislature has promised to begin funding full-day to school districts by 2018, and hopefully restore the I-728 funds prior to that, which our school district will use for full-day offerings for all.

I am so very grateful to the many volunteers who have raised nearly $200,000 for scholarships to maintain the integrity of our Full Day Kindergarten program in each of our elementary schools. Thanks for helping us to keep the torch of early learning alive in the Enumclaw School District! I am always happy to give tours of our schools and this program. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested! (email: michael_nelson@enumclaw.wednet.edu or call 360.802.7102)
• Early Learning = Future Academic Success - Early learning sets the stage for academic achievement throughout a child’s experience K-12. When all children are ready for 1st grade, the potential for higher achievement for every child is elevated. All children benefit. This is why the Enumclaw School District earmarked voter approved I-728 funds to provide free full-day kindergarten for all children for 6 years, 2003-2009, until economic challenges forced our state to cut those funds.
• A Full-Day class in every elementary - By distributing scholarship slots among the 5 elementary buildings the district has been able to offer a full-day class in each building. This sustains the critical work of full-day kindergarten in that building, and keeps the 6 years of professional development from disappearing. It also assures the presence of a full-day offering for those who can afford the tuition at each neighborhood school.

Bartel resigns post as EHS football coach By Kevin Hanson Senior Writer
Enumclaw High football coach Don Bartel has resigned, putting an end to his four-year reign atop the Hornet program. EHS Athletic Director Kevin Smith said Bartel tendered a verbal resignation during a meeting with he and Principal Jill Burnes, then submitted a written notice to district administration. Smith was tight-lipped about Bartel’s decision. “I don’t think we ever comment about those,” he said about personnel actions. Smith only acknowledged that Bartel was slated to be on the sidelines when the Hornets took the field in the fall. Bartel said it was simply the right time to move along, seek other opportunities and allow someone else to direct the Hornet fortunes. “I gave it everything I had for four years,” Bartel said, “but there might be somebody out there who’s a better fit than me. I want what’s best for the program and maybe Enumclaw and I weren’t the best fit.”
Bartel did not resign his teaching post at EHS, but made it clear he is actively seeking another job that will provide a teaching and coaching opportunity. He doesn’t feel a need to land a head coaching position, stating he would gladly take a job as an offensive or defensive coordinator. Bartel said there was no pressure for him to resign – not from school administration, nor from boosters, parents or students. Smith was quick to point out Bartel’s accomplishments since he took over the Hornet football program prior to the 2008 season. In particular, Smith noted Bartel’s involvement in the committee that successfully pushed for renovation of quaint-but-antiquated Pete’s Pool football field and his work with the football booster club. “He did many wonderful things for the program,” Smith said. Smith said Enumclaw’s vacancy is being posted on the school district’s website, on the West Central District website and with the state coaches association.

Young, motivated and willing – that is the best description of the Enumclaw High girls tennis team. Coach Rick Carel lost three seniors to graduation, but the leadership role has been taken up by four returning players. Back on the court for Carel and helping to lead this team are senior Rachel Holly, a senior, and juniors
Rachel Norling, Hannah Smith and Kayla Zillbauer. “We are a young team,” Carel said. “But so far we’ve improved a ton.” Carel pointed out the team has improved despite the snow, hail, rain and windy weather that has kept the girls off the courts for many of the early days of the season. Enumclaw did manage to post a 3-2 victory over Yelm at home Friday, a good way to get the season rolling. The next match will

Dickson leads WR track EHS track program and Josh Miller. Individually, Liebel returns after placing sixth in the 300-meter hurdles. Also expected to provide excitement are distance runner Kody Gould, who barely missed a state trip last year, and Chris Fisher, who is equally adept in both the springs and distance events. On the girls side, Lauryn Wate is back after placing seventh in the 800 meters and ninth in the 1,600 meters at the state meet. Kelly Coyle is back after placing eighth in the pole vault during the 2011 state meet. Coach Jerry Scheidt also is expecting big things from Cassidy France, who went to state her first two years before being sidelined with a knee injury in 2011. Sophomore Jade Crawford is back after earning a state trip last year in the 100 meters. Others catching Scheidt’s eye are Cassidy Kunst in the relays and jumps, Gabi Sandsness in the shot put and newcomer Micaela Kilcup, who is giving Scheidt another strong entry in the shot put.

Mother Nature washed away the White River High track team’s first meet of the season, so the Hornets will get rolling today, Wednesday, instead. This afternoon, White River and Washington High will travel to Steilacoom for a double-dual meet with the Sentinels. The Hornet boys are coming off a sixthplace finish at last year’s state Class 2A meet. This year, like last, the team is anchored by distance ace Marcus Dickson. He was a twotime state champion a season ago—winning both the 800- and 1,600-meter races—and, following a successful fall cross country campaign, will be looking for repeat honors. Dickson also ran the anchor leg in the 4x400 relay at last year’s state meet, helping White River to a second-place finish. Also back from that foursome are Devin Liebel

EXPERIENCE MAKES A DIFFERENCE!
Crowd out the weeds with fresh grass seed Dumping weed-killing chemicals on your lawn year after year is not good for our groundwater or your health. You will use a lot less herbicide if you spot-spray the weeds instead of covering the entire lawn with weed and feed. A few weeds in a lawn can be pulled by hand - a screwdriver makes for a great dandelion digger and there are even standup weeding tools that allow you to pull weeds with a lever at the end of a long pole. Another chemical-free method of weed control is to have a lawn so healthy and thick that the weeds can’t get a roothold. In our climate the month of March is a good time to overseed old lawns. Aerate or poke holes into the lawn first, add an inch of topsoil then sprinkle fresh lawn seed onto your old lawn. In a few weeks the new grass seeds will help crowd out any young weeds before they can attempt a hostile take over. Copyright for this column owned by Marianne Binetti.

The third week of March means moss is moving in to take over lawns, lichens are crawling up the trunks of trees and fungus are among us in many shapes and forms. Dampness is here with the longer days of spring. Enjoy the early-blooming color from daffodils, Daphne and hellebores and visit a nursery if you don’t have these spring bloomers in your own garden. One of the nicest changes in the nursery industry is that you no longer have to go without if you never got around to planting daffodil bulbs in the fall. Small pots of dwarf daffodils are easy to find at area garden centers and these bulbs will bloom for weeks indoors or out. Once the flowers have finished you can remove the pot, divide the clump of bulbs and transplant theM – green leaves and all – into the ground. In last week’s column I wrote about the five secrets of natural lawn care and this week we continue with five more secrets to a better lawn: Learn to master the moss monster Moss grows in acid soil that is damp, dark and of poor fertility.

In 2011 we invested over $3 million in communities throughout Washington
In the spirit of potlatch giving practiced by the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, we fund needed services provided by other governments, schools, churches, and charities throughout Washington State. As our tribe has become more economically independent we have increased our help and support to our neighboring elders, children, families, veterans, the disabled, and other individuals in need. In 2011 the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe provided over $3 million of assistance through our Muckleshoot Charity and Community Impact Funds. The Charity Fund assisted over 250 Washington nonprofit charities, schools and churches with curriculum and school supplies, healthcare, medical research, disaster assistance, the environment, cultural programs and human services. In addition, we provided Community Impact Funds to other local governments for fire, police and other services and to programs to mitigate the potential impacts of the casino.

CORNER FROM 7 They’re being admitted for the dollars they provide. At the University of Washington, out-of-state and international students are being wooed because they pour even more money into the coffers. In WSU’s case, the larger-than-ever numbers serve to push the cumulative grade-point average of the incoming class downward. Added to the mix is the fact professors have seen salaries stagnate in recent years. That means the cream of the crop has been skimmed off by other institutions. The net results? More students, larger classes and a watered-down professorial pool. So, how does that mesh with the price tag associated with a college education? To keep pace with this dismal news, tuition has skyrocketed. According to the WSU website, full-time students are paying $9,886 for tuition this academic year. That’s up from $8,592 a year ago. Up from $7,600 two years ago and $5,720 during 2008-09. Higher education is, for many, the springboard to personal growth and professional success. When society is flooded with young success stories, our future is brighter. Unfortunately, legislative decisions have, during recent years, put a damper on the collegiate dream.
