Buckley plans to sell natural gas utility By Kevin Hanson Senior Writer
Looking to shed itself of a troublesome operation, the city of Buckley has put its natural gas utility up for sale. The city recently issued a formal “Request For Proposals,” giving potential suitors the opportu-

nity to make a sales pitch for the system. Buckley is one of only three communities in the state to operate its own natural gas delivery system, creating a small club with its neighbor to the north, Enumclaw, and the Kittitas County city of Ellensburg. Buckley City Administrator Dave Schmidt said the notion selling off the utility has been kicked around for a couple of years. There was a time when the city could offer its customers natural gas at a pretty decent rate, less than the rate paid throughout the region. But those days are long gone, Schmidt said, admitting that Buckley’s natural gas users are likely paying 10 to 15 percent more than nearby resi-
King County sheriff’s deputies and Regional Animal Services officers took possession of 22 horse, a goat and two cats from a farm outside of Enumclaw Wednesday and Thursday night because of malnutrition. The location of the property is 236th Avenue Southeast and 416th Street. According to Cameron Satterfield, communications manager for animal services, a tip was received by animal services Tuesday concerning emaciated animals on the farm. Satterfield said an animal control officer went to the property Wednesday and observed the animals. A search warrant was served by the deputies and officers Wednesday evening when 16 horses, a goat and two cats were taken from the farm. The officers saw more distressed horses and a second search warrant was

dents who are supplied by Puget Sound Energy. The problem, Schmidt said, lies with the ever-increasing safety standards imposed across the nation. There have been a number of large explosions that brought catastrophic results, forcing regulatory reform on providers both large and small. The increased demands are just too much for a small community like Buckley to handle, Schmidt said. The growing list of regulations “are basically pushing the city out of the natural gas business,” he said. “We have to break even,” Schmidt added,

Starving FROM 1 served Thursday for 10 more horses, but only six were found. There were also other cats and a goat on the property, but they were in good condition. Satterfield said during a phone interview Friday, “Today we are working to get the other four horses listed on the warrant.” Satterfield said the 22 horses are currently at a contract stable and being give veterinary care along with food and water. Charges have not been filed yet. Satterfield said once the veterinarian has checked all the animals, the information will be sent to the King County
Prosecutor’s Office. “Thankfully these types of cases are very rare,” Satterfield said. “The reason we were able to do this is we received a tip.” Satterfield said if people are interested in helping or donating money for the care of the animals they may call 206296-7387. In the two years Satterfield has been at the department this is the first time a large number of horse have been taken because of malnutrition. He said two cases in the last few years were 73 cats taken in by animal service that were living in a travel trailer in Auburn and a second case involving about 100 Chihuahuas.

SELL FROM 1 noting that natural gas is an enterprise fund in the city budget, meaning revenues must match expenditures. Schmidt knows there are interested buyers, but the city is reserving the right to reject bids deemed too low. The giant in the region, Puget Sound Energy, has already indicated some “preliminary interest,” Schmidt said. Representatives of Cascade Natural Gas, which
now lacks a presence in the south Puget Sound area, have told Schmidt they will be submitting a bid. He said the city of Enumclaw has contacted Buckley as well, seeking details. As Buckley’s natural gas rates have become less competitive, the mood in town has shifted, Schmidt said. In 2012, the city included a survey in its utility bills, asking residents if they would support selling the natural gas utility. Only about 10 percent responded but, of those, 76 percent
backed the idea of selling off the utility. A later public hearing on the matter also attracted a small crowd, Schmidt said, that was divided about evenly on the matter. Buckley voters will have the final say. If the city identifies a qualified buyer, the issue will go to the public and the sale could not proceed without a majority vote. A timeline is not set in stone, Schmidt said, but a ballot measure could come by November.

New restaurants to tempt Plateau diners Owners of Rainier Bar and Grill bringing pizza and pasta to downtown spot By Daniel Nash Staff Writer
Debra Schweter was showing off plans for the dining space in the former Café Panini building when her husband Jeff grabbed the floor plans. This was in mid-January, when the room was still a great big empty space, save for some power tools, folding tables and two barren soda refrigerators. Every word was an echo, something Debra said she would like to correct with acoustic paneling. She pulled out a wallpaper sample book and pointed out a design called “Tom’s Garden.” “I think this will be a nice design for the dining area,”
Debra said, before directing her attention to another wall. “And for the bar we’ll keep the exposed brick.” That scene was just part of what goes into the planning of a new restaurant. The Schweters, who also own the Rainier Bar and Grill less than a block away, have spent countless hours setting up a pizza and pasta restaurant they’re calling Jackson’s. Between furniture orders, kitchen orders and juggling all the permits involved in opening a
restaurant and bar, they’ve been in the thick of the start-up process. The opening was originally planned for March 1, but a quick look at the calendar made that seem like a bad idea. “No, March 1 is a Friday,” Jeff said. “Typically, you don’t want to open on a Friday. It’s a busy day, and you want to start a new operation slowly so you can work out the kinks.” The Schweters are experienced restaurateurs, but

pizza and pasta is a new animal. They did some traveling during the summer of 2012 and discovered the best pizza they had was in, of all places, Costa Rica. “Every place we went had pizza,” Debra said. “And not just pizza: great pizza.” “And she means every place,” Jeff said. “You could
find a small restaurant operating out of someone’s garage, and they would serve the best pizza you ever had.” The Schweters decided they wanted to bring that level of quality to a restaurant in Enumclaw. As noted in a Jan. 30 “Wally’s World” column

Coalitions scramble Letters hymns bring for power and cash Church about a melody of love
The best part of post-election politics is watching the reforming of coalitions and groups of political thinkers. Win or lose, the great political animal called coalitions chops off one part, adds another and rises from the ashes reborn. This happens at all levels and all politics is local, whether national or next door. The Republican Party is the most intriguing to follow now because the scramble is on to find the center of power and, of course, the money. Many Democrats would like to give them the 10 count. Be careful boys, that way lies madness. Dennis Box My political handiEditor capping centers on figuring out coalitions and whether the groups are rising or falling. They are always doing one or the other. Stasis is not an option. The national Republican Party is getting more press, partly because it is entertaining for TV news, the other reality show, and partly because there truly is a mad scramble for the money to fund campaigns. Without money, campaigns don’t flutter and robo calls aren’t made, which means more losing and more guys with kielbasa heads ranting on the tube election night. The more interesting, but less watched, are the local

Letters become a home for the rigid and selfish Suddenly it has become all clear to me why for so long I gave up reading these letters to the editor in the newspapers. I had forgotten this is place of the extreme left and the extreme right who like to stereotype everyone and voice their opinion in the black and white, all or nothing fashion. The lawyer-type reasoning that always find a loophole in order to benefit their beliefs. This is the playground for those who are all-
knowing and skilled at finding facts to support their rigid, selfish perception of what they believe we should all agree with. So many contradictions and so much hypocrisy. I read with sadness the Jan 30. article by Mr. Personius in which he prefers to label anyone wanting a change. By the way, this country is progressing (by time standards) and liberal means wanting change. So no matter how many facts one is able to pull out of his hat to fit his argument, the question on gun control still remains: how much is too much? It has always amused me how people in their own words contradict themselves. At one point in his

Lanny Breuer, head of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division (2009-13), is resigning effective March 1, due to pressure brought on him by a “Frontline” documentary. His chief arguments were that it is extremely difficult to prove fraud at the highest levels of financial institutions and he was fearful of the effects on the economy.

ELFERS FROM 6 Breuer had been very vigorous in going after monetary penalties against big business. The two most notable and recent were against corporate oil giant BP and financial institution HSBC. Breuer’s division won a $4 billion civil settlement against BP in the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the greatest settlement in Department of Justice history. His division also successfully investigated and prosecuted HSBC, winning a $1.25 billion dollar civil settlement because it was secretly funding terrorists. Recently, Attorney General Eric Holder announced another civil lawsuit against the rating agency Standard and Poor’s for its wanton lying to investors. It had given Triple-A ratings to very risky and low-quality, mortgagebacked securities, costing consumers billions in losses when those securities imploded, helping cause the economic meltdown. Now to what surprises and puzzles me about these events: Surprise No. 1: Why would Lanny Breuer, assistant attorney general of the United States, be concerned about the social and economic effects of prosecuting top Wall Street executives? That’s not his job. His thinking was way out of his pay grade. His
job is to prosecute criminals no matter who and what they are. It is part of the concept of equal justice under the law. Surprise No. 2: Why would the Department of Justice go for civil (monetary damages) rather than criminal penalties against corporations? They could seek both dollar punishments as well as charge the executives who committed the fraud with crimes and prison time. There is a federal law called Sarbanes-Oxley that gives the DOJ power to go after executives who knowingly misrepresent information to investors. I am aware it is easier to win civil suits, but based upon the evidence presented in the “Frontline” report, whistleblowers are easily found who will testify to criminal activity in these financial institutions. Attorney General Holder’s very recent indictment against Standard and Poor’s in a civil rather than criminal suit falls under the same category. Punishing mega-billion dollar corporations financially is little more than a slap on the wrist unless the fines are in the hundreds of billions of dollars. A few billion dollars is nothing to them, especially since the executives will see no cut in pay as a result. No matter how powerful a person is, if that person breaks the law, he/she should be prosecut-
ed. There are no “untouchables” under the law. Justice is supposed to be blind. To not be blind to power means that a special class of people will be protected. This is totally contrary to our system of justice. Surprise No. 3: President Harry Truman had a famous sign on his desk saying, “The buck stops here.” Ultimately, what happens in the DOJ should come to the desk of the president of the United States. Why hasn’t President Obama been the focus of media wrath for the lack of criminal prosecutions of Wall Street executives? After all, it’s been 4.5 years since the economic meltdown became frontpage news. In that time the major banks have actually gotten bigger and even more powerful. It seems in my life that second terms usually trip up presidents, be it Watergate or Iran-Contra or Monica Lewinsky, or no WMDs and the Iraq insurgency. Are we seeing the beginning of President Obama’s second term crisis of trust? Mr. President, don’t you think it’s time to go after the financial fat cats who are controlling this country through lobbying and campaign contributions? Isn’t it your job to protect America from our modern plutocracy of wealth? You don’t need their campaign contributions anymore. Our democracy is at stake.
IN THE MILITARY James A. Johnson graduated from Air Force basic training during a Jan. 11 ceremony at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio. He has been assigned to a post in Santa Barbara, Calif., where he will be trained to be a diesel mechanic. He is a graduate of White River High School and the son of Jean Johnson and Ron Johnson.
LETTERS FROM 6 article we hear how Mr. Personius states what he thinks is too much firepower, yet when I questioned what may be too much I am labeled and put into a category. Funny how our thoughts usually only benefit ourselves. Funny how we can always find a way to say no to something but never offer a solution. And most confusing is how putting certain restrictions on weapons leads some to believe that they will lose their right to “bear arms.” I am reminded of another freedom possibly greater than the right to bear arms. It’s the one about free speech. Even that comes with restrictions based on preventing harm to others and, more importantly, it comes with responsibility. So you see, just because over 200 years ago we were promised something, it doesn’t mean we get anything
we want today. And just because a person believes one thing, it doesn’t mean he is right. It just means he has his own opinion. You are entitled to yours and I am to mine. Many apologies to those who thought I was a progressive liberal. I am not. Sincere regrets that you thought I was “coming to fight.” I wasn’t. The intentions were to make you think without your ego, without prejudice and without the name-calling. I never said anyone was childish. I said “childish thinking,” referring to the kind that has once again ended Mr. Personius’ article with, “... and oh yeah, my mother was smarter than your mother.” Point proved. I don’t put people down and within that I find peace. Best wishes to all who continue reading these letters. It has been entertaining. Duane Simurdak Enumclaw

Women, on the other hand, apparently are attracted to muscular bodies that can protect them from the dangers in the world and masculine faces with high cheekbones and strong, square jaws. You may have heard of “alpha men” – currently a popular concept in anthro circles – who possess many of the traits women find appealing and, therefore, attract a large number of females, which other men envy because men are supposedly biologically predisposed to procreate with as many women as possible. Well, I don’t know what to say about all that. I like to think several thousand years of civilization have reduced the importance of such base, evolutionary needs and increased the importance of traits like humor, curiosity, intelligence, cleanliness, independence and personality in general.

Fire District 44 looking at April levy request The Fire District 44 board of commissioners is considering placing a levy on the April ballot, citing a significant loss of revenue in recent years. “We have seen a loss of $1.2 million over the last several years,” said Chief Greg Smith, noting a coming reduction of nearly $284,000 for 2013. “We have reduced the budget and augmented operations through the use of emergency operating funds, reduced our support and admin staff by five positions and not replaced a vacant firefighter position,” Smith said. “It’s gotten to the point that we will be required to make some significant reductions and these will impact our ability to provide emergency services.”
Fire commissioners discussed the levy at their Tuesday meeting and will take final action on Feb. 26. That meeting will take place at 6:30 p.m. at district headquarters, 32316 148th Ave. S.E., and the public is encouraged to attend. According to a press release issued by the district, the proposed levy would not replace the losses seen over the past several years, but would provide enough funding to prevent further cuts. “We see this as an opportunity for the citizens to let us know what level of fire and emergency medical services they want,” said Commissioner James Farrell. “We want to hear from the public first, before we make more
serious reductions to the budget that will affect our ability to provide emergency services. We don’t want to institute critical reductions without asking the public. Fire District 44 is a combination department, using both career and volunteer firefighter/emergency medical technicians. The District has 19 career firefighters and an average of 75 to 100 volunteers, protecting 70 square miles out of eight fire stations. A career firefighter and captain are on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to provide supervision and oversee the department resources in the evenings. The district responds to an average of 2,000 incidents each year, more than 70 percent of these being emergency medical-related.
‘Folk Music as History’ aims at young audience “Folk Music as History,” a five-day series for children, will be offered during the Enumclaw School District’s midwinter break.

Hospital honored for its record-keeping efforts of-the-art technology that makes our hospital the best place to heal, the best place to work and the best community health resource,” said St. Elizabeth Hospital President Donna RussellCook. She added that the staff is evaluating steps
needed to achieve Stage 7 certification. In its summary, HIMSS noted that St. Elizabeth’s clinical information technology resources enable physicians to electronically document diagnoses and other essential patient-care
information. Physicians and other professional providers can electronically share and review medical images through a secure portal on the Internet, which can quicken diagnoses and development of treatment plans for patients.
In 2011, St. Elizabeth was ranked among the 25 “Most Wired” small and rural community hospitals in the nation by Hospitals & Health Networks magazine for its menu of IT capabilities that support care quality and operational
efficiency. St. Elizabeth Hospital, part of Franciscan Health System, provides 24-hour emergency care and an array of inpatient and outpatient surgical, medical and other services. It opened in February 2011.

St. Elizabeth Hospital in Enumclaw has earned special certification for its electronic record-keeping and use of clinical information technology to support patient-care services. The hospital has achieved Stage 6 certification by Chicago-based Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society, which evaluates hospitals on their deployment of information technology to improve quality, safety, access and costeffectiveness of care. Fewer than 7 percent of the 5,200 U.S. hospitals that report data to HIMSS have reached Stage 6. St. Elizabeth Hospital is also the only facility in King County to earn Stage 6 status. The highest level is Stage 7, which indicates paper charts are no longer used to deliver or manage patient care. “This achievement reflects our commitment to the meaningful use of state-

Four Plateau hoop teams qualify for district tourney By Kevin Hanson Senior Writer
The subregional experience was a positive one indeed for Plateau basketball teams, which combined to win six of eight postseason battles. The Enumclaw and White River girls topped the charts, winning two games each, while their male counterparts split their games. All the tussles were for seeding purposes only, and all will be playing this week in West Central District matchups – Enumclaw in the Class 3A ranks and White River at the 2A level.
Enumclaw girls
With a No. 1 seed and a first-round bye, the EHS girls will not play until 8 p.m. Friday at Clover Park High School in Lakewood. They will take on the winner of a tilt between Kennedy Catholic and Mount Tahoma; those two played Tuesday night. If the EHS girls win Friday, they will play again at 4:15 p.m. Saturday at Franklin Pierce High School, taking on either one of three possible opponents (Prairie, Timberline or Bonney Lake). If the Hornet girls lose Friday, they will play at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Clover Park High, taking on one of those same three opponents. The Enumclaw girls advanced to districts as the No. 1 seed thanks to subdistrict victories over Auburn Mountainview and Lakes. In the Feb. 6 win over the Lions, Julia Myers and Calli Remitz led the way offensively, scoring 15 and 12 points, respectively. Friday, against Lakes, Danielle Saltarelli led the way with 15 points

while Myers pitched in with 13 and Katie Holland had 11.
White River girls
One of four teams with a first-round bye, the White River girls open district play at 6 p.m. Thursday at Tacoma’s Foss High School. The Hornets will face either Lindbergh or Bremerton; they played a loser-out contest Tuesday night. If the White River girls win Thursday, they will play again at 2:20 p.m. Saturday, again at Foss High. They will take on either Port Angeles, Kingston or Renton. If White River loses Thursday, the Hornets move to the loser’s bracket with a game at 4:15 Saturday afternoon at Stadium High in Tacoma. White River’s girls advanced to West Central District play with subdistrict victories Thursday over Lindbergh High and Saturday over the Washington Patriots. Kennedy Hobert exploded for 28 points in the victory over the Eagles while Amanda Lance had 12 and Kristin Sturdivan added 10. Against Washington, Lance posted 21 points.
Enumclaw boys
The Enumclaw High boys enter play tonight, Wednesday, in a large District 3/4 tourney that includes teams from the South Puget Sound League, along with the Seamount, Narrows and Greater St. Helens leagues. EHS begins play at 7:45 at Clover Park High, taking on Fort Vancouver from the southwest corner of the state in a loser-out contest. If the Hornets prevail, they will next play at 6:15 p.m.

Enumclaw High’s ridiculously successful girls gymnastics team added another prestigious victory to its growing resume Saturday, capturing the West Central District championship. The Hornets compiled 179.425 team points during the meet at Mount Rainier High School, outdistancing second-place Decatur High’s 168.65. Highline High finished with 158.30 to round out the trio of team qualifiers to this week’s state Class 2A/3A meet. The state meet runs Friday and Saturday in the Tacoma Dome exhibition hall. Enumclaw grabbed the team title by placing five girls in the all-around Top 10. Olivia Bannerot was second, Molly Mattheis fourth, Victoria Hernandez fifth, Maddison Ward sixth and Emily Berte 10th. Individually, EHS registered plenty of Top 10 finishes. Bannerot won the bars, placed second in both the vault and floor exercise and was 10th on the beam. Mattheis tied for third in the floor exercise and was fourth in the bars and the vault. Hernandez was second on the balance beam, fifth in the vault, seventh in bars. Berte was fourth on the beam, ninth in the floor exercise and tied for 10th in the vault. Ward finished third in the bars, fifth on beam and tied for fifth in the floor exercise. A final Top 10 was turned in by Maria Blad, who placed seventh in the vault. This weekend, the Enumclaw High crew will be gunning for its second state championship in the three-year history of the program. The Hornets placed second during their inaugural season and won the 2A/3A title a year ago.

an 11-point victory over Steilacoom on Feb. 6 but were defeated Saturday evening by a formidable Renton squad. During the victory, Spencer Swigart posted 13 points and Alex Sayler added 12. In the loss to Renton, Brandon Dove led the way with 15 points and Swigart chipped in with 11.
Enumclaw, the local contest was on Jan. 19 at Southwood Elementary School. District winners from this area were Ty Albrecht, 10; Danika Seabrands, 11; Jessica Cerne, 13; Drew Seabrands, 14; and Sydney Anderson, 14. The district winners now set their sights on the regional contest, planned for March 2 in Burien. Regional winners will then compete at
the state level March 23 in Yakima. Anderson was a state champion a year ago, competing in the 13-year-old division. The free-throw contest is sponsored annually by the Knights of Columbus, who last year saw 179,000 kids participate in more than 3,000 local events.

One year the guns are blazing and the next it’s Kumbaya… American politics, national or next door. The general election is Nov. 5

Those darn, pesky rules. Coalitions are already taking shape in Black Diamond with the mayor’s seat and three council members up for election in November. This is the bread-and-butter of local politics and democracy – both fascinating and fun to observe. Win or lose, the coalitions make the system work — sometimes for the better. There are times when lines are crossed and behavior gets boorish or worse. That is why we call it politics and not sponge Yahtzee. Another series of races to watch are in Enumclaw. There are four council seats and the mayor’s post up for grabs. Coalitions are less easily defined in Enumclaw, but they are there. Enumclaw does not have the

coalitions that form in local communities. These groups can start with just a few and grow into a force. Black Diamond provides a good example. A number of different groups have
formed and reformed into coalitions mainly around the issue of support or fighting against the YarrowBay development. A coalition based on the fight against YarrowBay formed and successfully backed candidates during the 2011 council races, sweeping three into office. But that coalition did not hold when a change-of-government proposition went to the ballot and failed in November. I suspect because it was really seen as a backdoor recall of the mayor. Change-of-government measures nearly always fail due to the real reason they are taken to the public, which is seldom to really change the form of government and usually to change the government — rather than waiting for another election season.

Get organized, stay organized notes are taken in something that’s portable, allowing you to jot down notes immediately as opposed to forcing you to remember until you arrive home. • Create a to-do list. A to-do list is another great way to stay organized when planning your wedding. As you make certain decisions, simply strike those tasks from the list. This way you will know which tasks you’ve polished off and which ones you still need to work on. • Create a wedding calendar. Keep a calendar devoted specifically to the wedding. Include appointments with vendors and information regarding payment schedules and other deadlines on this calendar. If you set any deadlines for yourself, such as when you prefer to choose a band for the reception, jot these deadlines down on the wedding calendar as well. • Take a digital camera along
when shopping for your wedding. Many couples want to explore their options before making any decisions with regard to attire, floral bouquets and other aspects of the wedding. But it can be difficult to remember all of the things you might have seen throughout the process. Bring a digital camera along when shopping so you won’t have to rely strictly on memory when making your final decisions. As you take pictures, upload them to your computer so when the time comes to make a decision, those photos are easily accessible. • Delegate certain tasks. Even couples that consider themselves taskmasters can benefit from delegating some tasks when planning a wedding. This can save you some time and make it easier to keep track of everything. When delegating, ask friends or family to handle those tasks that don’t require a personal touch. For
Keeping things organized for several months, or perhaps an entire year, is a daunting task for any couple...but a few simple tips can help. File photo example, ask a best man or maid of honor to arrange for guest transportation to and from the

Couples planning a wedding quickly realize just how challenging a task that planning can be. From paring down the guest list to arranging the music to choosing a menu for the reception, couples must make several decisions when planning their big days. Staying organized when planning a wedding is no small task, as the planning can be spread out over several months or even more than a year, making it difficult to keep track of what’s has and hasn’t been done. The following are a few organization tips that should help couples keep on track when planning a wedding. • Write things down. Whether you write things down the oldfashioned way in a notebook or jot down notes in a tablet, write down your plans as you go. Write down important phone numbers, vendor information and all the other details you’ll want instant access to. It’s important that such
Wedding Guide 2013 Accents add highlights to the traditional gown
with multiple merchants. Doing so gives guests more options and increases the likelihood that guests can find the store. When choosing merchants, try to choose national stores that guests can access regardless of where they live. • Don’t assume all guests are tech-savvy. While the Web has made setting up and accessing a registry easier for couples and guests alike, it’s safe to assume your guest list will include one or two holdouts who have never before shopped online. Because of that, couples should still register with a brick-andmortar store instead of only registering online. • Read the fine print. Some online retailers are kinder than others. When establishing an online registry, examine the retailer’s
policy thoroughly to be sure it does not include substantial service charges or exorbitant shipping fees. Guests should not be penalized for their generosity. • Vary the options within the registry. When adding items to the registry, be sure to include items that everyone can afford. Especially nowadays, when many weddings host guests from far and wide, it’s ideal to include lots of affordable items. That way guests who have already spent considerable money getting to the wedding won’t have to break the bank even further to gift the bride- and groom-to-be. As for high-end items, keep those to a minimum. Parents, siblings or other especially close relatives might ask to buy those items before you even establish the registry. But it is important to include at least a few expensive items, as some guests might
See ACCENTS, Page 16 pool their resources and buy these gifts, saving you money while giving them the satisfaction that you got something you might not have been able to afford after paying for the wedding. • Set up a honeymoon registry. Many of today’s couples might not need some of the more common household items like cookware, linens or home furnishings. Couples who already have stocked cupboards and linen closets might want to consider a honeymoon registry, which allows guests to donate money toward the couple’s honeymoon. Guests can donate money or pay for certain activities the couple can enjoy while getting away from it all. Wedding registries have evolved, making it easier than ever before for couples to set up a registry their guests can access.

deep colors against the white backdrop of the gown show well in photography, particularly the black-and-white journalistic style that is very trendy as well. Women shopping for bridal gowns who are considering colored accents should be careful that these embellishments are subtle and do not overwhelm the gown – or the person who will be wearing it! Popular enhancements include appliques on the bodice or the train of the gown. Another idea is to select a white gown and then tie a black bow or sash around the waist or put a lace shrug over bare shoulders. Blackand-white lace gloves are also an option for those who want to add just a little splash of dimension. The same concept can be applied to any

Almost as long as there have been bridal gowns, white or ivory have been the colors of choice for first-time brides. These light hues represent the purity and innocence of the bride. Although a few brides-tobe choose to forego wedding white for something a bit more flashy – like pink or yellow gowns – a popular trend today is to wear gowns with accents of black or other deep colors to add dimension to the white canvas. Considering the groom and groomsmen will be dressed in black tuxedos, black accents on a wedding gown have been growing in popularity and add a formal, regal look to a wedding. Darker color embellishments can add drama to a gown. Another advantage is they can call out pattern or adornments not easily seen on a white-on-white gown. Furthermore,

Writing personal vows harder than imagined A wedding is a once-ina-lifetime event for many couples, so brides and grooms wish for the event to be momentous and memorable. As such, couples are increasingly integrating personal nuances into their ceremonies and receptions to tailor weddings to their unique visions. The desire to include personalized wedding vows continues to be a popular trend. If you are considering personalized wedding vows, first realize that it may not be a simple task. That’s because you want the message conveyed
to be dear to your heart, and that can be challenging when faced with the pressures and planning of the rest of the wedding. That isn’t to say that writing your own vows is impossible. Here are some guidelines for personalizing your ceremony with your own sentiments. • Schedule time for writing. Amid the bustle of dress fittings and interviews with photographers, it can be easy to put off the important task of writing vows for another day. But as any great writer can attest, it takes writing –and rewriting – to

achieve a finished product you can be proud of. Give the task of writing your vows your undivided attention. Mark it in on your calendar or set a reminder on your computer just as you would any other appointment. • Be aware of ceremony guidelines. It is best to check with your officiant and confirm that personalized wedding vows are allowed. During civil ceremonies it’s often acceptable to customize vows as you see fit. However, during religious ceremonies there may be lines of scripture that need to

be read or certain passages required. Before you spend hours working on the task, be sure that it is allowed and that your spouse and you are on the same page. • Jot down your feelings. Answer some questions about what marriage means to you and how you feel about your spouse. Try to avoid trite sayings and think from your heart and personal experiences. Think about what is the most important thing you want to promise to your future partner. These notes can serve as the starting points for the actual vows. • Read inspirational writings. Perhaps there is an author or a poet who inspires you? You can quote certain writers in your vows or let the tone of their works help shape the words of your vows. There also are suggested wedding read-
ings and other quotes about marriage readily available at the library or with a quick search online. • Decide on a tone. Although the day is based on love and affection, you may not feel comfortable spouting words of adoration in front of friends and family. Feel free to tap into your unique personality. Humor can be used if it aligns with the way you normally express your affections. Be sure to weave this tone into more traditional passages to create a cohesive expression of your feelings. • Establish an outline. Put together all of the words and phrases you’ve jotted down into an outline to help you organize the flow of the vows, using these words as a blueprint for the vows and building upon them. Make sure the vows will be concise. Aim for your entire speech to be

You want to avoid long sentences or anything that trips you up. Although large words may sound impressive, they could make the vows seem too academic and not necessarily heartfelt. Enlist the help of a friend or two to act as your audience to see if the vows sound good and are easily understandable. Writing your own vows can be a way to include personal expressions of love into a couple’s wedding day. Public speaking is seldom easy, nor is finding the perfect words to convey feelings about a future spouse. However, with some practice and inspiration, anyone can draft personalized vows

Because the spectacle will be the beauty of the gown, it’s best to carry a neutral-colored bouquet in a small size. Or, a black-and-white gown can be accented with a small nosegay of red flowers or roses.

DINING FROM 5 ner at the end of the week and find the place packed. The Rainier employs 30 people, Debra said: nine in the kitchen and 21 waiting, bartending and bussing tables. Jackson’s will not start out with that many but, as business hopefully picks up to a steady flow of customers, the Schweters said they would like to build up to 30 employees. A brisk takeout business may help that cause. The Rainier offers grab-and-go ordering, but Jackson’s will have a dedicated takeout storefront — located in the “old” Pie Goddess window facing Griffin Avenue — connected directly to the restaurant kitchen, the counter in front of the baking and pizza prep area. “Where a lot of people (involved in restaurant start-ups) make a mistake is building their full menu before they know what their kitchen is capable of putting out,” Jeff said. “The kitchen dictates what the menu will be.” Rainier lead cook Joey Butorac is in the process of creating an eclectic menu, heading into Jackson’s once a week for test kitchen sessions. “He’s the real deal,” Debra said. “He’s a great asset and we’re lucky to have him out here. He’s part of the family. “That’s the blessing of a small town: everyone knows each other, customers know the staff and vice versa, and there’s a better connection between the business and the community. We’ve had wonderful support for the Rainier from the people in Enumclaw.”
mistic, goal. During a recent tour of the building, the interior appeared partially ready. The furniture had been delivered but the kitchen equipment hadn’t arrived. Whitehouse walked through the empty space, stopping periodically to imagine what piece of equipment would fit most logically, and where. “When you set up the line, you have the place where the empty plate begins, the place where the finished meal ends, and all the science in-between,” he said. “And it’s a matter of space and what you can achieve per square foot. Any restaurant has to look at how many square feet are available in their kitchen, and design it to bring in the max amount of revenue per square foot that they can.” The menu will be made up of the usual suspects of American family cuisine — burgers, sandwiches, salads and more — with an eye toward quality. Whitehouse, a trained chef, will be intimately familiar with his kitchen; he’ll be managing the kitchen directly, at least when the restaurant opens.

Experienced owner opening Whitehouse in former home of Mazatlan on 410 By Daniel Nash Staff Writer
“Stepping stones” is the phrase Tim Whitehouse Jr. uses to describe his career as a restaurateur. Graduating from culinary school would be the first step and managing Myhre’s in Port Orchard was the second. Purchasing small-venue Lumberjack’s in Buckley would the third and buying the slightly larger KC’s Caboose in Sumner would be the fourth — though the latter was also a step backward when it closed due to plumbing problems. Now, Whitehouse de-scribes his latest venture — building a new restaurant from the ground up in the building that for years housed the Mazatlan restaurant before being occupied for a short time by Andre’s Bar and Grill building — as a leap over several stones at once. It has three times the seating space and three times the staff as Lumberjack’s. The new venture carries the owner’s last name, to be known as Whitehouse Restaurant and Lounge. “There’s been a huge learning curve,” Whitehouse said. “The other restaurants I’ve bought were latchkey. They had their equipment in the building, ready to go. There was no equipment here … so I’ve had to design the kitchen line from the ground up.” Whitehouse got the ball rolling in October, a week after KC’s Caboose closed. He had keys in hand in December and originally set his target opening date for Feb. 1 — though he now says Feb. 15 is a more likely, if still opti-
As the name suggests, Whitehouse Restaurant and Lounge will be a family affair. His mother will be the bar manager, fulfilling a promise from his childhood. Whitehouse wanted to open a restaurant as early as the age of 12; he recently rediscovered a letter his mother had written him from that time, lauding his goal and promising to work with him in the family business. He said he was happy to have the close tie in the bar, an area of the restaurant business that benefits from a high level of trust. The restaurant has segregated its bar and general dining areas to comfortably accommodate both night life and mealonly patrons. The bar will feature darts, pool and skeeball, a game Whitehouse has seen become popular at other drinking establishments. Whitehouse has been well-occupied preparing his namesake restaurant for a February opening. But even with one eye and both hands on the short-term, he’s keeping his other eye on the future: should this location prove a success, he plans to make it the flagship of a multi-location franchise.

Lifetime plateau resident, Phyllis Murray, 92, died Monday, January 28, 2013 at Auburn Hospital. She was born the third of three daughters, in the family home of Frank & Marion Newman on February 20, 1920, located in the Wabash area north of 400th. She lived a full life with family and friends, and was a devoted, patient wife and a kind, loving mother and grandmother. In 1933, Phyllis passed the Eighth Grade State Exam at the two room Neuwakum schoolhouse. She graduated ninth in her class of 101 from Enumclaw High School in 1937 and remained as a fulltime, post-graduate student for another year. After a break from school to help her parents milk cows (she was the best milker in her family), she attended Central Washington College of Education in 1939, eventually transferring to the College of Puget Sound in Tacoma in 1941. Phyllis maintained various office positions while earning enough credits for a college degree. When her brother-in-law died suddenly, Phyllis took a train to Yakima to help her sister Virginia raise the two children he left behind. While living in Yakima she met the recently discharged veteran and next-door neighbor, Edward Murray. They married at Wabash Church in Auburn on June 29th, 1947; and honeymooned for a month, camping at Lake Louise, Banff, and Jasper in Canada. In 1958, Edward and Phyllis built a home on property purchased from her parents. Phyllis lived most of her life on the family farm where she and Edward raised their four sons. Phyllis loved to take walks on the property and enjoyed the spectacular view of Mt. Rainier from her home. She shared the beauty of the property with neighbors and friends by letting them take walks or ride their horses on the acreage. In recent years Phyllis and her sons produced The Murray Harvest Festival, inviting relatives, neighbors, and friends to come by and enjoy food, music, and hayride tours of the farm. Phyllis liked to garden and can, visit friends, and was always interested in the activities of her sons and grandchildren. She held a strong and active Christian faith, and supported various missionaries, including a granddaughter’s mission work in Ukraine. She had attended Wabash Presbyterian Church from its early beginnings and held the position of deacon. In more recent years she was a member of Hillside Community Church. Phyllis highly valued music and encouraged her sons to learn the piano, and they all went on to learn other instruments as well. She also started the family tradition of a yearly Christmas program which the Murrays have continued for over 50 years. Her husband Edward and a sister Eleanor both preceded Phyllis’s passing. She is survived by sons Brian and wife Barb of Enumclaw, George and wife Peggy of Auburn, Eldon and wife Patricia Gozel of Auburn, Clayton of Seattle, two grandsons Benjamin and Jeremy, four granddaughters Melinda, Megan, Alison, and Kathryn and one great granddaughter Sydney and sister Virginia and husband Carl of Yakima as well as her childhood friend Ted Adsit. A memorial service is planned at Hillside Community Church in Enumclaw on February 16th at 2:00 pm. Donations may be made to: Tape Ministries Northwest, Tacoma Rescue Mission, or Hillside Community Church.

Taking time for ‘dark places’ this Ash Wednesday
day which this year follows. Ash Wednesday was set aside as a time to reflect on our human culpability (sin) and our mortality, two topics guaranteed to create an uncomfortable silence at any festive gathering. This gives rise to the logical question, “Why on earth would anyone want to talk about such depressing stuff, let alone set aside a day for such reflection?” Yet underneath a thin veneer that is our public face, most people have fears which occupy a dark corner seldom visited. The reason we don’t visit that dark place is because to do so is to look at things too terrifying to contemplate.

Go Red for Women Go Red for Women and the American Heart Association are combatting heart disease through awareness and education and by motivating women to take action. Awareness includes understanding the symptoms of a heart attack, which can be different in women than in men. Women’s symptoms can include shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting and back or jaw pain. Other symptoms women should look out for are dizziness, lightheadedness or fainting, pain in the lower chest or upper abdomen and extreme fatigue. Knowing those symptoms is important, but wouldn’t it be even better to avoid those symptoms? And that means taking actions to reduce the risk of ever having a heart attack. Some of the actions the American Heart Association recommends are: not smoking, managing your blood sugar, get-

Eating healthfully will have multiple benefits. A diet rich in a variety of vegetables and fruits, lean proteins, healthy fats and whole grains can be a great defense against the onset of high cholesterol, high blood pressure and heart disease. The AHA recommends that an adult consuming 2,000 calories daily should aim for: •
Fruits and vegetables: At least 4.5 cups a day.
•
Fish (preferably oily fish, like salmon): At least two 3.5-ounce servings a week.
•
Fiber-rich whole grains: At least three 1-ounce servings a day.
•
Nuts, legumes and seeds: At least 4 servings a week, opting for unsalted varieties whenever possible

Here are some sobering facts provided by the American Heart Association. Heart disease is the #1 killer of women in the U.S. It accounts for 1 of every 3 women’s deaths. 90 percent of women have one or more risk factors that can lead to heart disease. Since 1984, more women than men have died each year from heart disease. Heart disease can affect women of all ages, even women who lead healthy lifestyles, if they have other risk factors. 64 percent of women who die suddenly from coronary
heart disease had no previous symptoms. Despite those statistics, only about 20% of women believe that heart disease is the greatest health threat they face.

February 1, 2013, marked the 10th anniversary of National Wear Red Day®, an event that was inspired to help raise awareness of the shocking frequency of heart disease in women. That first National Wear Red Day® in 2003 subsequently motivated the American Heart Association to create Go Red for Women, a social initiative intended to increase awareness, educate and inspire women to take action in the fight against heart disease. Funds raised for this initiative are also used to support scientific research and develop new tools and treatments in the fight against heart disease. Go Red for Women is QFC’s Charity of the Month for February.

Proper pruning makes for happy, healthy trees The spring pruning season is just around the corner. So it is nearly time to break out the loppers, clippers and saws. And do not forget the first aid kits. There are three major items to consider when planning your spring tree work. First, fruit trees will benefit from pruning to enhance fruit production. Second, pruning ornamental trees is completely different from pruning fruit trees. Third, if hiring someone to do the work, choose a reputable tree service or a professional arborist. Unfortunately, there are plenty of well-meaning folks who do not posses the knowledge of proper prun-

ing techniques.
Fruit Trees
February through April is the traditional time for pruning fruit trees. If they have been pruned on a regular basis, they have developed numerous water sprouts. As a general rule, one-third or more can be thinned out. Most of the remaining sprouts should
be shortened to 4 to 10 inches. Caution! If all the sprouts are removed, a tree will bear little or no fruit.
Treat Ornamental Trees Gently
Avoid severe topping or aggressive pruning of any ornamental tree. This practice is far too widespread along many city streets and in mall parking lots. Not only is it ugly, but the resulting water sprouts are a survival response to replenish the lost food-manufacturing branches and leaves.
These fast-growing sprouts can grow 5 feet or more a year. This may require frequent work by maintenance crews that could have been avoided by proper pruning. Often, a heavily-topped tree will reach its original height in just two to three years. But there will be many more branches to deal with than before that can cause maintenance nightmares. Unfortunately, Mother Nature did a number on certain species — like flowering plums — during last year’s ice storm. The resulting masses of sprouts will provide challenges for the next few years.
Proper thinning can help renovate many of the trees. Responsible tree services and certified arborists will discourage tree topping. The key to successful ornamental pruning is to have the final result look as if very little has been done to a tree or shrub.
Options for Overgrown Trees
If a tree is too wide or tall for its space, there are at least two options. 1 — Carefully select some of the longer, unsightly branches. Either cut them back to where they join a larger branch or the main trunk or lightly trim them back to a shorter length.

2 — Remove the tree and plant one that will grow to fill, not overcrowd, a chosen space. This is preferable to doing a severe pruning job. Take the height estimates on nursery labels with a grain of salt.
Do the Right Thing
Before starting to work on an ornamental tree, I often ask a homeowner what he or she wants a tree to look like. Sometimes I have to explain why their request may not be practical or healthy for a tree and we will discuss some options. This should be the approach of any knowledgeable and responsible tree pruner. Sometimes a homeowner will tell me to “do what I think needs to be done.” This can be a dangerous instruction to give to a stranger because some tree pruners do not know the correct way to treat ornamental trees. The results may be painful to look at. And it might be even more painful to write a check. Do-it-yourselfers should attempt to learn the proper techniques. If hiring the work done, find out what the pruner plans to do. Is he or she on the same wavelength as you? Feel free to request a list of references. I always insist that a homeowner be present during a job. That way he or she can immediately approve of the work in progress or express concerns and be available to ask or answer questions. Doing the right thing will result in happy trees, a happy homeowner and enhance the reputations of responsible tree services and arborists. A poor job is very noticeable and neighbors and passersby will wonder what the heck a homeowner or business is trying to do to its trees.

The fact that we might be flawed, that our bad choices and hurtful acts might be the cause of personal misery as well as pain inflicted on others, is a truth best stuffed away and hidden in camouflage. The reality of mortality is even more terrible. The realization that each minute brings us closer to a nonexistence which negates our accomplishments and identity, the truth that we are snuffed out forever, is the thought we will go to any lengths to deny. Ash Wednesday was set aside as the time for honesty in the face of denial. In many Christian traditions the day is marked by a rite in which ashes are imposed on the foreheads of the people with the stark words, “You are dust, and to dust you shall return” - words reminiscent of the “ashes to ashes” which have been spoken for centuries at the side of a grave. Again, the question is “why?” The answer is amazing and filled with hope. Denial is necessary when the bad news is so immense that there is no good news big
enough and great enough to answer it. If our only option is hopelessness, then it’s time to party on because, as the old beer commercial states, “You only go around once in life.” However, the church throughout its history has pronounced a hope and a promise big enough and powerful enough to answer the bad news. Honesty and truth-telling are possible when we know who hold the trump, and that trump is this: the season of Lent comes to an abrupt end with the celebration of Easter. With death-defying life those dark corners of Ash Wednesday are flooded with light. Denial is a means of selfpreservation; it covers the fear and pain which have the power to overwhelm us. Yet when the good news is bigger than the bad, we can boldly speak our fear and name our pain. Both Mardi Gras and Valentine Day play an important part in our culture. I can readily and joyfully celebrate both. Yet I will also take time to go to the dark places this Ash Wednesday. The grace and light are sufficient to free us up for the journey into darkness.
