Options for spending $50,000 occupied most of the Enumclaw City Council’s time and energy March 9, while plans for spending more than $5 million were put on hold for a year. The bulk of the most recent council meeting was spend on potential uses for the $50,000 that was included in the 2015 municipal budget and earmarked for “economic development.” Talk originally centered upon using the money for part-time city staff to assist with plans to spark some growth in Enumclaw. Realizing that it may be difficult to hire a professional for the task – knowing there was a limited, one-time pot of money – talk shifted to bringing a consultant on board.

The administration’s desires quickly melted away as council conversation covered a gamut of possibilities that could breathe life into the city economy. As often happens, talk turned to the Thomas Farm, which sits on the north side of state Route 410 in the vicinity of Watson Street. In the 1980s, the farm owners sold development rights on the property to King County, effectively eliminating commercial development of the land. In terms of Enumclaw development, discussions often include the 150 parcel that sits directly across from commercial land including McDonald’s – but is off-limits for development. Bot h Cit y Administrator Chris Searcy and Mayor Liz Reynolds emphasized

A long year of training will be soon paying off for the Bonney Lake and Sumner high school drill teams. After the District III qualifiers on Feb. 7, both teams will be competing in the state drill competition at the end of the month. The teams will be traveling to the SunDome in Yakima to compete on March 27.

Bonney Lake

The Pantherettes qualified to compete at state in three different routines this year; pom, military and

dance. “Pom and military are their two strengths,” coach Lisa O’Brien said. “They just started competing in the dance category a couple of years ago.” The Pantherettes’ military routine was themed around superheroes, complete with eye masks, and their dance number was jazz-styled. In the pom category, the Pantherettes’ scored 225.70 points of a possible total of 300. This score earned the team an “excellent” rating. Teams need at least 210 points to qualify for state. Their military routine fared better with a score of

The dance routine received a score of 218.70, another “excellent” rating. “I think the Pantherettes did great,” O’Brien said. “Their scores have improved overall and we are looking forward to state.” Last year, the Pantherettes (combined with the Spartans) were the District III champions, placing first in pom and military. Two years ago, the Pantherettes also went to nationals and received second place with both their pom and military routines.

Sumner

In the past, Bonney Lake and Sumner high schools have combined their dance teams for shows and competitions. Because both schools joined the 3A South Puget Sound League, though, they had to split and Sumner became its own team. “We’ve had a very successful year,” said coach Stacia Dorman. “We’ve attended five competitions, have taken first place already for our show routine in a regional competition and first place at districts in the show category as well.” All three of Sumner’s routines – show, hip-hop and military – qualified for state.

The Enumclaw High cheer squad will be competing this weekend in Southern California, having qualified for nationals. Submitted photo The Spartans’ show routines was themed around the board game Monopoly, and the routine received a score of 224. Their hip-hop routine earned a score of 220. Finally, their military routine, with them dressed and made-up in army fatigue and face paint, received a score of 232. “They’ve so far exceeded my expectations going into the year,” Dorman said. “I wasn’t anticipating their any of their accomplishments being a first year team. Taking first place at districts was beyond my dreams, and I’m proud of all the girls.” Reach Ray Still at rstill@ courierherald.com or 360825-2555 ext. 5058. Follow him on Twitter @rayscott-

Lorie Ann Grover and Sedona Capellaro were two of the authors at the signing, and only had to drive a little ways to get there. Grover was born in Miami, Fla., but lived in Sumner for 17 years and just relocated to Bonney Lake. Her first novel, “Hold Me Tight” (2007), was written on the Plateau. Grover said she mostly writes from her own life experiences, like in “Hit” (2014), which is loosely based off of her daughter’s best friend, who was hit by a car while crossing the street in Covington. She said writing about such her experiences

COUNCIL FROM 1 that the odds of reversing the status of the dairy land wound are miniscule. In the end, council members tabled their discussion of economic development and, specifically, how to use the $50,000 in the budget. The topic will come up again during a future meeting. The $5 million discussion centered upon plans to build a reservoir that will handle the city’s water needs for the next couple of decades. The city had maintained three reservoirs, with two sitting on Roosevelt Avenue East, just beyond the golf course on

Writing like the pros

Many writers tend to have a routine or process for when they write, and Capellaro’s and Grover’s processes differ greatly from each other. “My bedroom is my spot,” Capellaro said.

the far eastern edge of the city. A tank holding 2 million gallons of water was failing and was torn down a year ago. Replacement plans looked at both a 2 million gallon option or a larger 3 million gallon reservoir. Both options exceeded the city’s proposed budget of $3.5 million so the decision was made to put plans on hold for another year and continue seeking grant funding for the project. On another topic during their March 9 meeting, council members: amended an existing lease between the city and the Enumclaw School District for use of the

stadium on the Expo Center grounds. The district wants to improve seating on the visitor side of the field and found used bleachers being sold by the Issaquah School District. To accommodate the new seats, boundaries of the leased area needed to be pushed out about 20 feet. A gravel path will have to be moved and the two sides agreed to share the cost of replacing it with an asphalt pathway. The lease arrangement has existed since the fall of 2011, following upgrades to the field that included installation of a synthetic turf.

“I sit in my bedroom, put my laptop on my legs and I’ll have the TV on in the background as blurred noise.” From there, Capellaro said she writes everything that is on her mind, stream-ofconsciousness style, to get everything down. “I go back and re-read it, and I pick pieces,” she said. “It is a process of elimination, or elaborating on a point that I made.” Grover said her process involves a lot of clearing her environment and her mind. “First I clear out social media and email and tidy up so it’s not distracting, and then I go for it,” Grover said. “I’m recently emptynesting both of my daughters… I have a lot of alone time so it is a time to pour into my work.”

Words to write by

Every writer has unique tips and tricks that work for them, so Grover and Capellaro had plenty of advice for the students that talked to them about writing. “Don’t worry about imitation,” Grover said. “Try, and that is how you will find your own voice.” Grover also said that most writers just need

to sit down and crank it out. Capellaro said that writers should start by writing what they know. “And write about what you don’t know, but what you would do to find the answer,” she said.

Upcoming book events

Pierce County Libraries will be holding a meet the author event with Daniel James Brown and his book, “The Boys in the Boat” (2014). Brown’s book details the story of the 1936 University of Washington crew team and how they worked their way to the 1936 Berlin Olympics to compete against Germany. The book is a New York Times bestseller and earned a 2014 Washington State Book Award. The book signing will be at 7 p.m. on April 24 at the McGavick Conference Center at Clover Park Technical College. The event is free and books will be available for purchase.

is very fulfilling. “It helps you make sense of what happened,” she said. “You get a chance to revisit and work through it and find meaning that you probably missed by not stopping and really thinking about it.” Recently, Grover branched out into writing about gendercide in her recent novel, “Firstborn” (2014), when she read millions of girls in China go missing. Capellaro was born and raised in Enumclaw and moved to Bonney Lake six years ago. She recently published her first finished full-length novel, “Rise of the Heroes” (2014), which she describes as a fantasy thriller coming-of-age story. “I started writing when I was in middle school, which is why I wanted to speak to the students today,” Capellaro said. “Middle school is rough on everybody… and in order for me to get through it I was writing to get yucky thoughts out of my head.”

It has been a long road to becoming a pro Editor’s note: Enumclaw resident David Paterik has worked his way to becoming a nationallyknown, professional bodybuilder. In this, the first of a two-part series, we look at the process leading up to turning professional.

By Kevin Hanson Senior Writer

David Paterik has certainly come a long way – from a Tacoma teenager who made a habit of bad decisions to a professional bodybuilder gracing the pages of fitness magazines and, just maybe, the TV screen. Paterik, a 36-year-old husband and father who lives in a quiet Enumclaw neighborhood, admits he’s sometimes amazed at the twists and turns his life path has taken. From rather inauspicious beginnings, he has fashioned a life built upon the prodigious muscles that bulge with every flex. His bodybuilder’s lifestyle has morphed into a growing business that has become a full-time occupation. And it’s the prospect of keeping

his family financially healthy that motivates him. Paterik freely points out that making a happy and healthy foundation for his wife and daughter drive every business decision he makes.

he says, “man, I was pathetic.” So he bought a set of barbells and, aside from the lifting, was soon doing 300 pushups and 300 crunches daily.

It was a long process, but by 2012 he took the leap and entered the Washington State Open at the Auburn Performing Arts Center. Competing as a heavyweight, he was a close second. A year later, he was on stage again, this time at the Emerald Cup. “I decided, to be more competitive, I needed to drop down to middleweight,” Peterik said. Competing again in Bellevue, he won the Emerald Cup, which featured bodybuilders from all over the nation. Then came the 2013 USA Championships in Las Vegas, where he placed 10th. “It was respectable, but I was a little bit bummed out,” he said. But that showing set the stage for a national competition on Nov. 22, 2014. “It’s a date I’ll never forget,” Paterik said. “I basically won with a perfect score. And that’s what turned me professional.” Next week: staying in the bodybuilding game while growing a business. office of their child’s school.

Recalling times in the tractor seat

I wish I could say that growing up on a dairy and (occasionally) working alongside my dairy farmer dad was where I developed my solid work ethic, never-giveup attitude and strong drive to succeed. It would probably be more accurate to say that those instances of fatherdaughter employment were more effective in developing my dad’s patience, restraint and gray hairs. I was the worst worker. Ever. I was given very few chores. Feeding calves, running some basic farm equipment and moving Jennifer Anderson manure pipe were Columnist among the usual tasks I was trusted with every now and again. Feeding calves was kind of difficult to mess up and I only caused minimal damage to a few structures while in control of a tractor. Why do they make those attachments so wide? I will be forever grateful to the summer helper who patched up the loafing sheds after a minor incident involving a scraper blade and a very narrow area of the corral. One would think with that many acres of farmland they could have spared a few more feet on either side of the troughs, buildings and barns! The job that was loathed the most, by my mother and me alike, was the ever-not-so-popular role of “Lead Man on the Tractor.” This dreaded job usually took place in the corral just outside the field where fresh cut grass was hauled in on a regular basis. The grass was cut into a giant mixer wagon and distributed into the feeding troughs in the corral for the cows after milking. During the rainy season, as well as the not-so-rainy season when there was an underground water leak, a giant mud pit developed in front of the gate between the field and the paved corral. As you can imagine, the 2-ton tractor pulling the 7-ton wagon full of wet grass would sink into the mud, just like in the “Oregon Trail” computer game. This would require a second tractor outfitted with towing chains and, you guessed it, another driver. In the event that my brother/grandpa/neighbor Gil/any warm body was not available, I had to suffice for the spot in the driver’s seat. I would sulk up into the saddle of that big International and prepare for what was to come next. This job required being fluent in a language like no other, where directions were communicated with a series of whistles, hollers and hand gestures. After being given the appropriate combination of the aforementioned language components, the “Lead Man on the Tractor” would put the towing tractor in gear and pull on the

His opening statement told them they did not have to worry because their children would turn out “just like them.” There was silence in the room after that statement.

our legislature has made that easy, too. Your ballot will be mailed to you and all you have to do is vote your mind and mail it in. If you don’t have the price of a postage stamp, Plateau Outreach Ministries will give you a stamp and then you can just walk across the street to the post office and mail it. Plateau Outreach Ministries will not show any interest in how you vote or encourage you to vote in any particular way, they will just hand you a stamp, so that nothing will stand in the way of your constitutional right to vote. Now, I, on the other hand, will encourage you to vote in a particular way. We have a school bond to vote on. I strongly encourage a “yes” vote on this bond. The school board has been very responsible in its use of tax revenue. Since there is nothing in Enumclaw that is more valuable than our children, it is of utmost importance to upgrade our schools to accommodate the influx of students in the district and to make sure that our children have access to state-of-the-art technology in the high school science and math programs. Our children should not be handicapped in college, or on the job, by a substandard education, due to not having adequate facilities in the science classes. We have many phenomenal students, who will make our community thrive, if we care enough to give them the education they deserve. Vote “yes” for schools on April 28. Alexes Shuman Enumclaw

resourcefulness, persistence, optimism and the ability to delay gratification play a far bigger role for success in adulthood. Those traits often come from children practicing and imitating their role models in the home. Research has shown over and over that interactions between children and their parents change children’s brains. We know that graduation from college increases the potential earning power and personal satisfaction in life. Unfortunately, many students with high IQ scores often fail, not because they are dumb, but because they don’t have enough of the character traits listed above to finish their college educations. IQ only indicates the level of brightness in a student,

throttle. Next thing you know, the slack in the chain connecting the two tractors was gone and the front wheels were rearing up in the air like the Black Stallion. Only not as majestic. At all. Lots of engine noise, spinning back tires and cow poop shrapnel would ensue. Sometimes the rear tractor in the train would leap out of the muddy pit and both tractors would slide across the slick corral toward the holding pen like a carnival ride gone awry, one still towing a large wagon full of wet grass. Other times, another series of whistles, hollers and hand gestures was necessary to reverse, reposition and retry.

After the task at hand was complete, I would dismount that tractor wearing a number of sullen looks, dots of dried manure spray and uttering plenty of undermy-breath comments about how terrible my life was. Unfortunately, I was unable to tweet a snarky comment or update my Facebook status to tell everyone how my carefully curled big bangs were ruined, because Mark Zuckerberg was still learning to read. I had to walk all the way to the house and complain to my mom. In person. At great length. It’s been nearly 20 years since I’ve been asked to serve as “Lead Man on the Tractor,” but it is a position that left a lasting impression on this farmer’s daughter.

and habits necessary to succeed in high school. Many of these habits are learned in the homes, not in school. Americans have been very frustrated with the lack of progress on the part of schools and teachers to improve student scores and long-term success, but the real problem is not so much the schools, but the example that parents give their children and the priority placed on educating their children that matter so much more. Successful adults come from parents spending time with their children from a very young age. This type of effort requires that parents think long-term, persist and are resourceful and optimistic in order for their children to exhibit those same traits when they finish their education. Parents need not worry about their children because more often than not, their children will turn out just like them.

I live in Enumclaw and have been getting your paper for the last several years. I love Enumclaw but am a little troubled by the recent article “Understanding geography of red, blue” (March 11). I’ve never agreed with much of what Rich Elfers has written, but his most recent piece is downright disturbing. There were many appalling lines in the piece but perhaps nothing so dramatic as “minorities like to live among their own, just like whites who favor the suburbs and more rural areas.” Did anyone read this before it was printed? This would have been offensive and inflammatory in the ‘60s and ‘70s. In 2015 it’s truly appalling. His article was a series of stereotypes and generalizations that have little to no basis in fact. I understand that this was in the opinion section, but it’s the duty of The Courier-Herald to determine which opinions are disseminated widely throughout our community. As one white citizen who is not here for other white people, please consider the fact that there are some intelligent and openminded people in this community before you print discriminatory rubbish in the future. Thank you. Aaron Mainer Enumclaw

not the level of success. In order for students to become successful, fulfilled adults, parents need to place a priority on parenting and then follow through on that priority. This can be difficult in our multitasking, easily diverted, often single-parent culture. Research shows that if there are a lot of books in the home and if the parents read a lot to their children (as well as role-model adult reading), the children are more apt to do well in school. Studies also have shown that a high grade point average upon graduation from high school is the biggest determinant of being able to receive a four-year degree, no matter whether the adolescents attended a high-rated prep school, or a low-rated to mediocre school. The real measure for success is the development of skills

The fact that was considered a Christian nation, which Hitler drew much of his inspiration from served as inspiration for the genocide. studying the tactics of it’s perpetrators, the Leaping forward to the present and if Ottomans, says even more; and the fact I may be allowed to do the math for you: that it’s received so little press is appalling. current news + historic precedents = a Between 1 million and 1.5 million were wake-up call. My purpose here is to not to exterminated, in case you were wondering. project doom or foment fear, but to suggest But why should this particular holocaust three practical responses for Christians. strike a different chord from that of the First, we need to recognize that we’re Jewish holocaust? For one, I’d viewed functioning on a different level than our

persecuted brothers and sisters overseas and make some adjustments. When it comes to temptation, our modern challenge has simply been learning to consistently say “no” when evil extends its invitations (I’m referring to “evil” at all levels from the criminal down to that which is simply selfish and/or “innocently” manipulative, and/ or excessively indulgent). Their challenge, on the other hand, is to say “yes” to threats of violence when the only other option left is to deny the one who saved them by way of a cross. Note that there is no American exemption or guarantee that we will never be asked to say “yes” to this ourselves. And note that those who never say the final “no” to our current pallette of designer temptations will surely lack the resolve necessary to produce a “yes” in the face of such a crucial moment. Second, it would be helpful to shift our focus from pondering the transitional moment of death (please see Hebrews 2:14-

15) to savoring the facts of forever as we’ve been given them. The point is what comes after, not our manner of entry; what we leave behind, not the circumstances surrounding our departure. Persecution requires eyes that can perceive the kind of spiritual gain that comes, when necessary, through physical suffering (please consider the example of the cross and of many saints who have followed it). Third, we should be praying for these brothers and sisters with the kind of heartfelt intercession we would use if we were in their place (Hebrews 13:3). When the early church lost its leader, James, to martyrdom, and then saw Peter taken away with similar intent by the perpetrators, they gathered to pray. Is it necessary to ask whether the hundreds recently taken hostage by ISIS merit a similar response? They do; and 12 churches so far in the Enumclaw/

up frisky and dance around the garden at sunrise. I have gray, flat, weird growths on my tree trunks and some azalea branches. It is not moss; it is a gray or silver color. Is there a spray I can use to save my plants? S.S., email No need to get excited over the 50 shades of gray in your garden. Your plants are not being tortured by this natural growth and it does no harm. After our warm, wet winter many plants display a combination of fungus and alga called lichen. If you really do not like the lichen, you can free your plant from its bondage by using a brush or gloved hand to rub it off. On tree trunks you can dip a soft brush into a weak bleach solution (two tablespoons bleach to one quart of water) and scrub the lichen off. A much more practical approach is to appreciate the added silver sheen and enjoy the lichen. Many cultures use lichen to make food, medicine, soap and dyes.

First, back away from that knife. You should not cut the stems but instead grab and pull off to the side so you take the entire stem and petiole of the rhubarb stalk. Rhubarb is ready to harvest when the stalks are 12 to 18 inches long. You should stop harvesting when the stalks that emerge become smaller – usually in late spring. Yes, the leaves of rhubarb plants are poisonous but then so are the leaves of many other edible plants. I like to cut off the large leaves from the stalk while still in the garden and use them as a weed blocking mulch around other plants. To sweeten the stems after you harvest, peel them and soak in cold water for a few hours. During the summer rhubarb will send up stalks of white blooms – remove these if you want a strong harvest next year as the flowers take nutrients away from the plant. Rhubarb is considered a spring tonic plant – enjoy too much and you’ll wake

Find a group that shares workout passion By Stephanie NortonBredl and Bruce deJong Are you bored with your exercise routine or looking for inspiration to become physically active? Maybe you have always wanted to hike, bike or kayak but don’t know how to get started. The Puget Sound region is one of the best areas in the world to be active outdoors and often these activities provide opportunities to meet new people. Research shows that people who engage in groups are more likely to commit to their goals. Participating in out-

Another option is to inquire at your local gym, YMCA or fitness center to see if there are others who want to meet. Many gyms have a community bulletin board for people to meet up and participate together in health and fitness activities. Additionally, you could try a reputable online resource such as meetup.com, Facebook, Google groups, or find local outdoor clubs online.

Lake Tapps refill begins Cascade Water Alliance began refilling the Lake Tapps Reservoir system over the weekend. The speed of the refill is dependent on the available flows in the river. The target for reaching recreational lake (reservoir) levels remains Memorial Day weekend. The system is opening back up after more than seven months of being down for significant repairs, maintenance and improvement. Cascade is currently filling the eight mile long flowline and settling basins in order to test the new facilities (headgates, a new concrete flume and fish screens). Barring unforeseen circumstances residents should start seeing Lake Tapps Reservoir levels begin to rise midweek According to Cascade CEO Chuck Clarke, “When we purchased the White River / Lake Tapps Reservoir system from Puget Sound Energy in 2009 we knew it was old. We’ve long planned this major drawdown to do a complete assessment of the system. We appreciate how very supportive and patient the community has been, knowing this project would lead to a

more reliable and predictable system that allows us to take care of the lake now and in the future.” For the latest in lake level information and for the agreements regarding lake levels visit http://www.cascadewater.org/lake_tapps_ recreational_lake_levels. php For more information on Cascade visit www.cascadewater.org

Time for a gut check? Some people feel uncomfortable having a colorectal cancer screening. We’re uncomfortable with you not having one. Colon cancer often grows slowly, but the good news is that treatment can be successful if detected early. Doctors agree that both men and women need a colonoscopy upon turning 50 years of age. African-Americans should begin screening at the age of 45. Talk to your health care provider about screening or schedule a screening today. Don’t be embarrassed—this may save your life.

Visit chifranciscan.org/cancer to learn more. To find a provider near you, call us at 1 (888) 825-3227. 1271440

2015 CAR & TRUCK GUIDE

What to look for in a teen’s first car How to Many parents contribute money toward the purchase of their teenagers’ first car. But even those who don’t help kids finance the purchase of their first vehicle may still want to offer some advice as their teens start to look for the car they will no doubt remember for the rest of their lives. Different drivers need different things out of their vehicles, so a car that might be perfect for adults will not necessarily be the best fit for teen drivers without much experience traversing the nation’s roadways. The following are a few factors to consider when helping teens find their first car. Size Teenagers have little to no experience behind the wheel, so it’s best that they not drive cars that are especially small or large right away. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, young drivers between the ages of 16 and 17 are significantly overrepresented in fatal crashes. The NHTSA suggests such drivers’ immaturity and inexperience plays a significant role in that overrepresentation. So parents likely do not want their children in the smallest car possible, as such vehicles may not protect teens as adequately as slightly larger vehicles in the case of an accident. In addition, very large cars, such as pickup trucks or SUVs, can be difficult to control and are best suited to older drivers who already have years of driving experience under their belts. A mid-size sedan is big enough to protect teens and their passengers in the case of an accident, and such vehicles are small enough to handle easily. Passenger capacity Another factor to consider when shopping for cars for teenagers is passenger capacity. The more seats there are in a car, the more friends teens can pack into their vehicles. Numerous teenagers in a car at once can prove distracting to the driver, and that distraction can pave the way for an auto accident. Steer clear of minivans, SUVs or other vehicles that feature a third row of seats, as teens may be unable to stay focused on the road with so many passengers in tow. Under the hood Few teens would not light up at the sight of a muscle car awaiting them in the driveway. But cars that accelerate quickly and those with substantial horsepower and high-performance engines may tempt teens to speed or spark the development of poor driving habits. Look for a vehicle with modest acceleration instead of an imported sports car that teens may be too immature and inexperienced to handle. Wear and tear Teens’ first cars are often preowned vehicles, and such cars may have significant wear and tear on some important safety features. Wear and tear may not be a reason to avoid purchasing a preowned vehicle, but parents may want to replace the brake pads and tires on recently purchased preowned vehicles. Brake pads in strong condition may prove the difference between avoiding an accident or getting into one. In addition, poorly inflated or worn down tires pose a safety risk to teens and their passengers. If such features seem to be worn down, replace them before letting teens hit the open road on their own. Teens will remember their first cars for the rest of their lives. Parents can ensure those memories are positive by finding a car that teens can handle comfortably and operate safely.

detect odometer fraud Preowned car buyers looking to buy from private sellers rather than dealerships typically understand that such an approach can be risky. When buying from a private seller, such purchases are typically as-is, and rarely are buyers protected with extended warranties that may be offered by dealers who specialize in preowned vehicles. Buying from private sellers may also leave buyers more susceptible to fraud. Odometer fraud is one type of fraud that buyers must be especially wary of when buying a preowned vehicle from a private seller, and the following are a handful of ways buyers can determine if a car’s odometer has been tampered with. • Examine the vehicle’s service history. Before buying a preowned vehicle, buyers should always request to see documentation of the vehicle’s service history. This can shed light on how well (or how poorly) the vehicle was taken care of, and it also can serve as a clue as to the authenticity of the number on the vehicle’s odometer. Vehicle mileage is often included on repair orders or receipts provided by auto repair shops, so such reports should give you a picture of how many miles the car was driven at given times throughout its history. If the numbers on the reports don’t match up with the figure on the odometer, then the odometer has likely been tampered with. • Inspect the dashboard. A damaged dashboard is not always indicative of odometer fraud, but it should be enough to arouse your suspicions.

Why a clean air filter is important in your vehicle

Motorists routinely check their tires for proper inflation, top off engine fluid levels and maintain oil change schedules.

How to protect your car’s resale value

Few drivers start thinking about resale value when driving a new car off of the dealership lot for the first time. Still enamored with that new car smell, drivers can be excused for not thinking of resale value as they put the pedal to the metal and speed off in their brand new ride. But it’s never too early to start protecting a vehicle’s resale value, especially if you hope to recoup as much of your vehicle investment as possible when the time comes to sell your car or trade it in for a newer model. The following are some ways motorists can protect the resale value of their vehicles from the moment the dealer tosses them the keys.

• Keep all maintenance records. New cars typically do not require much maintenance. But drivers should keep records of all work and maintenance done on their vehicles, even if that work does not extend beyond routine tuneups or oil changes. Keeping maintenance records shows prospective buyers you prioritized taking care of the vehicle over the years, and that makes the car or truck more attractive to preowned vehicle buyers who want to avoid buying a lemon or a car that has not been taken care of. • Don’t overlook looks. Looks can be deceiving, but new car buyers who eventually plan to sell their vehicles should do all they can to keep the car looking as new as it did the day it was first driven off the dealership lot. Much like homeowners benefit when selling a home with curb appeal, a car that looks good gives buyers the impression that it was well taken care of. But a dirty car or one with lots of dings and dents is a red flag to preowned car buyers. • Keep a clean interior. New car owners typically maintain some strict rules with regard to food and beverages in their vehicles. After all, no one wants their brand new car to succumb to stains or spills. But the longer drivers have a car the more lax they tend to become with regard to allowing food and drinks into their cars, and that can ultimately hurt the resale value of the vehicle. Maintain a clean interior whether you just bought the car or have driven it for a few years. Much like an impressive exterior leaves a lasting impression, a clean

Did you know?

interior that has not succumb to coffee stains or muddy boots is more likely to impress buyers than a car with an interior that has seen better, cleaner days. • Drive defensively. It’s not just what you do to a car but how you drive the car that can affect its resale value. Driving defensively reduces your risk of accident, and an accident-free preowned vehicle is a top priority for potential buyers. But driving defensively also reduces wear and tear on your vehicle, as over time constant stopand-go, aggressive driving takes its toll on vehicle engines and other components. • Periodically examine the vehicle history report. Today’s preowned car buyers know to ask for a vehicle history report before buying a car. If your vehicle history report contains any suspicious or inaccurate information, you may be forced to sell the car for less than it’s worth or delay selling until you can have any issues corrected. That won’t necessarily happen overnight, but you can avoid dealing with a host of issues all at once by periodically examining the vehicle history report. Any discrepancies on the report can be brought to the attention of your insurance company, who can then work with you to correct the issues and restore your vehicle’s reputation. Resale value may not be foremost on the minds of new car owners, but the earlier buyers begin to factor resale value into their car-care routines, the more they will benefit down the road

Insuring multiple vehicles and/or drivers on an auto insurance policy may prove cheaper than having each of those drivers and vehicles insured separately on multiple policies. That’s because insurers typically offer bulk rates to policy holders willing to insure several vehicles and/or drivers on a single policy. But such discounts typically adhere to guidelines that dictate eligibility. For example, if the head of a family wants to insure his or her children on the same auto insurance policy he or she has, then those children typically must list their parents’ home as their legal residence. Blood relations also may influence eligibility for multiple driver policy discounts. In general, only blood relatives or relatives by marriage can benefit from multiple driver discounts. However, non-related motorists who jointly own a vehicle may be eligible for discounts.

ODOMETER FROM 16

dashboard often occur when sellers attempt to reset their vehicles’ odometers. Again, such damage is not necessarily indicative of odometer fraud, but if you were already suspicious of the seller, then these additional signs should be enough to compel you to walk away and continue your vehicle search elsewhere. • Ask to take the car to your own mechanic for an inspection. When buying a preowned car, prospective buyers should insist that they be allowed to take the car to their own mechanic to determine if it is worth buying. This protects sellers from buying a lemon and can help them determine if odometer fraud has occurred. An experienced mechanic can examine a car and determine how much wear and tear it has. If that wear and tear is more than the odometer suggests it

should have, then the odometer has likely been tampered with. • Insist on a vehicle history report. Whether buying from a dealership or private seller, buyers of preowned vehicles should always insist on seeing a vehicle history report. Mileage is always documented whenever a vehicle is registered with the state and whenever it undergoes state-mandated safety or emissions inspections. A vehicle history report from an agency like CarFax can provide buyers with a record of these registrations and inspections, and buyers can use that information to determine if the odometer on a given vehicle has been tampered with. If a seller refuses to provide a vehicle history report, walk away and continue your search until you find a buyer willing to provide the report.

The Enumclaw fastpitch team is winding up for another season with the state title in the girls’ sights. The team took second in 2014 and most of the power players are back between the lines for another season. Junior Quinn Breidenbach, who was the 2014 South Puget League most valuable pitcher and selected to the all-area team, returns as the team’s No. 1 hurler. Breidenbach is both a dominating pitcher and hitter. She hit .520 with a .867 slugging percentage, knocked three out of the park and drove in 46 RBIs. Senior Chloe Young will secure the infield at shortstop. She was selected to the first-team all league last season and all area team. She hit 489 with a .670 slugging percentage.

The girls track team kicked off the new season with a jamboree on Saturday. The Spartans are scheduled to host the Auburn Mountainview Lions at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, March 19 for the first meet of the season. Coach Kristin Chapman is returning for her eighth season at Sumner and her seventh as head coach of the Spartans. Chapman said the team lost eight seniors from last season. She said the Spartans have a full roster entering the new season.

“We are in a new league and are looking forward to a new challenge,” Chapman said.

Many of those players are back for another season in the maroon and gold, under the watchful eye of optimistic coach Brandon Walker. “We have very high expectations and know we have the ability and drive to do something special,” Walker said. The fastpitch game begins with pitching and the Hornets are well armed. Kayla Smith is entering her senior campaign, already honored twice as the South Puget Sound League 2A’s Pitcher of the Year.

GIRLS TENNIS

The 2014 South Puget Sound League champion Enumclaw Hornets are on the tennis courts swinging for a sixth consecutive league title. The girls tennis team features a strong group of younger players and experienced athletes. The Hornets lost Kylee Almy and Jordan Koontz to graduation. The pair helped lead the team to a 11-1 finish last season and the team’s fifth consecutive league title. Over the past four years the Hornets have lost one league match and won 36. Coach Rick Carel expects

the 2015 team to be just as dominating. “We are right where we want to be,” Carel said. “We win as a team and theses girls can play anywhere (doubles or singles). Mariah Bone returns after a strong postseason in 2014 competing at the state tournament in doubles with Almy. She is a well rounded athlete who can play either singles or doubles. Kylie Rademacher will bring her athleticism to a winning doubles team with Olivia Adams. Barbara Becker is another strong all around player the Hornets feature. Carel said in the opening

The Enumclaw girls and boys track and field team is showing the speed and strength as the season opens. The team features multiple state champion KC Moulden, winner of the 2013 3A girls shot put title. She is also a three time state wrestling champion. Coach Jenelle Murrell said the team has started very well. The girls team has a group of speeders in track events including senior Katie Christensen, sophomore Nikole Schroeder, and freshman Emmie Neu. Also returning are Jillian Salkind, Tallie Carlson in field events and Emily Berte running hurdles. The boys and girls competed in the South Puget Sound League 2A/3A jamboree Saturday at Sunset

Stadium in Sumner. Murrell said, “The athletes could put on their uniform and get any early jitters out of the way. We had some positive results.” For the girls, Schroeder ran third in the 100 meter in 13.65 seconds. Christensen was second in the 400 1:05.15. Neu was third in the 800 in 2:34.10. Moulden won the shot put reaching 41 feet, 11.75 inches. She was second in the discus hitting 118-09. On the boys side in running events junior Jacob Eilertson and Hunter Storm, a freshman, posted some impressive times Saturday. Storm won the 3,200 in 12:52.59 and Eilertson ran the 400 in 54.73 taking third. In the field events sophomore Brandon Barnett took third in the high jump with 5-08. Also returning for the boys are Jake Eilertson, Cameron Collingwood, Bryce Johnson, Trey Rodarte, Jason Ridenour and Tarik Hagen in running events. Adam Rhodes, Jeremy Watts and Daniel Morrow return in field events. Enumclaw hosts Bonney Lake 3:30 p.m. Thursday.

2015 HIGH SCHOOL SPRING SPORTS PREVIEW WHITE RIVER FROM 20

Freshman Annabelle Hall and Kate Mauldin “have great technique in the hurdles and look to push some of the freshman and school records in these events,” Scheidt said. The White River boys team is both young and inexperienced, having lost nine seniors to graduation last spring. The strength lies in the distance races with Alex Anderson, Seth Berryhill and Jaden Flanders. In the sprints it will be Hunter Hendricks, Lucas Selby and Luke Krenning. That trio is looking for a fourth runner to help in sprinting events and relays. Throwers include Isaiah Walker and Noah Pearson in the shot and discus and Tyler Ussary in the javelin. Spencer Hall returns in the long and high jumps, following a strong freshman campaign, and will run the hurdles as well. In pole vault, the Hornets have David Wright as the only returner. Some newcomers that may fill holes in the lineup, Scheidt said, are Garrett Severson in the sprints and jumps, Greg Pointek in the Pole Vault, Austin Aashiem in the javelin and Cole Tucker in the discus.

time, first-team, all-league performer. Other returning players include Natalie Vollandt at first base, Kenadie Smith at third and Ashley Long at catcher, along with infielders Maddie Meyer and Kennedy Ledbetter and outfielders Mallory Lubking and Jordanne Fray. Long, Vollandt and Fray earned second-team all-league honors a season ago, while Meyer, Lobking and Smith received honorable mention. Aside from that solid foundation, “we also have a couple of younger players that are very exciting and are fitting in very well,” Walker said. “I can’t wait to see how they contribute to the team.”

TRACK AND FIELD

Some jogging and some sprinting, others jumping or throwing – it all adds up to another track and field season at White River High. Once again under the tutelage of coach Jerry Scheidt, with help from a band of assistants, the Hornets break into competition Thursday with a home meet against the Steilacoom Sentinals. Leading a young and largely inexperienced White River girls team is senior Brenna Liebel, who took her talents to the state’s biggest stage a season ago, running the 800-meter hurdles at the state Class 2A championships. She holds the White River record in the event. On the plus side, the Hornet girls have more depth that in the past few seasons, Scheidt said. Key performers in the distance races include Jenna Guenthner, Jayden Fletcher and Grace Clapshaw. Added to the distance mix are Courtney Gelmini and Hanna Swettenam, both veterans of the Hornet cross country program. In the throws, the team is looking primarily to Alexa Vogel; Kelsey Bunker will help in the javelin as well as sprints and relays. The jumping events are highlighted by Amanda Lance and Maci Goethals. Brianne Wiens could be a factor in both the jumps and throwing events. Youth will be served in the sprints, hurdles and relays, now that Cassidy Kunst and Jade Crawfore have been lost to graduation.

BOYS LACROSSE

The first-year White River lacrosse program, which includes a healthy dose of players from Enumclaw High, launches its maiden voyage Thursday. Game time is 7 p.m. on the White River campus, with the squad taking on Peninsula. Coach John O’Connor is pleased with the first-year turnout. He has 20 experienced players, along with a group of lacrosse newcomers who are, in the coach’s words, “great athletes…sure to contribute as the season and their skill levels progress.” The attack is solid with Gavin Harderson and Matt Funkhouser, while the midfield features co-captains Jack Pugh and Marcus Henke. Immediate midfield contributions are expected from juniors Justin Tidwell and Luke Funkhouser. The defensive unit will be directed by co-captain Cedrik Pearson and freshman goalie Carson McElroy has performed well in practice and preseason scrimmages, O’Connor said. The statewide lacrosse governing body has created a South Puget Sound League for this season and White River participates in the SPSL Division 2 along with Peninsula, Bethel, Auburn Riverside, Bonney Lake and Sumner.

SUMNER FROM 20 South Puget Sound League 2A for the second year in a row. Chapman said Sumner also finished the season second at the districts meet. Seven individuals and three relay teams qualified for state last season. The 1,600 relay team, Chapman said, placed second at state. She added, everyone from that team is returning. “We are in a unique situation where we have a clean slate,” she said. “We are going against new teams in a new league. (And) we are up for and excited about the challenge.”

BOYS TRACK

The Sumner boys season also began with a jamboree on Saturday. The boys will also start the season off, hosting the Auburn Mountainview Lions at 3:30 p.m.

BOYS Last season, the team was SPSL 3A league champions. This year, coach Andy Foster said the Panthers should do well again. “I feel we will have good representation when it comes to the post season,” he said.

This is his first season as a head coach. The boys start its season at 7 p.m. Saturday, March 28 with a match against Auburn Riverside at Bonney Lake High School.

Superintendent’s Message When

I had the privilege of listening to Dan Heath, the author of Decisive, earlier this month. It was fascinating to hear some of the research he has done about decisions we make and the impact those decisions have in catapulting us forward or holding us back. It’s been several days since I heard him speak, yet one story he told remains with me and I find myself telling the story to others. I will do my best to share it

Imagine yourself as a young single person wanting to ask a co-worker on a date. You’ve been admiring this person from afar, but you don’t really know if this person even knows who you are. Should you…. A) Take some time to actively get to know the person better and then ask the person out. B) Immediately ask the person out. I would love for you to pause before you continue reading and make your choice. The audience I was in consisted of 2,000+ education leaders from across the nation. Heath had us raise our hands. Roughly 80% of the audience chose “A.” Heath then told us to imagine that our best friend describes the scenario above to you and asked us how you would advise this best friend. The crowd around me all began to shift in their seats and a low murmur began to spread throughout the large ballroom. We all knew we had been trapped. Heath asked us how we would advise our best friend using the above choices. Almost all of us raised our hand for “B.” The group I was sitting with all nodded our heads and said to each other that we would say, “Go for it!” Why is it that we set our own boundaries for possibilities differently than we would for our best friend (whom we care for deeply)? His advice to us was that when (not if ) we find ourselves in a dilemma with a couple of choices, ask the question, “What advice would you give to your best friend?” He shared that asking this question forces us to look at the situation from a new angle and usually gives direction or unlocks the answer. I so value learning these practical nuggets of information. As the leader of our amazing Enumclaw School District, our Board of Directors, staff members and I recognize the importance of solid decision-making and we strive to make great decisions each and every day that will catapult us forward in meeting the needs of each and every student. I hope the scenario above might help you, too!

In Partnership with YOU!

Middle School Students Participate in STEM Events!

Voice of Democracy Essayists

Thunder Mt. Middle School The weekend of February 7th, Thunder Mountain had 7 teams competing in local competitions. Five teams competed in the bridge competition at the Museum of Flight and 2 teams competed in a robotics competition at Lake Washington High School. A little about each event:

Students Preston Went, Enumclaw High School; Leah Blanchard, Enumclaw Middle School; Jaya Ravi, Thunder Mt. Middle School; and Madelyn Carlson, Enumclaw High School (not pictured is EHS student Lauren McKeever) were honored at a special VFW ceremony on Thursday, February 26th. These students were the recipients of this year’s Voice of Democracy Essay Scholarship Contest. What a nice honor. Thank you to the VFW for providing this opportunity for our amazing students. Congratulations to all our winners!

20th Annual Bridge Competition Students had to build a bridge out of popsicle sticks and glue. They researched, designed and built several models before building their competition bridges. Five teams took their bridges to the competition and had them tested by industry professionals to see how many pounds of pressure their bridge could withstand. Student bridges that did not meet criteria had to modify their bridges on the spot to meet the criteria before they could enter the competition. Lake Washington High School VEX Robotics Tournament Thunder Mountain had 2 teams compete against 26 high school and 2 middle school teams in the Skyrise Challenge. Students had to design, build and program a robot that can stack a skyrise and put blocks on the skyrise and other poles around the field. Teams also had to submit an engineering journal that documented the design process and recorded everything that the teams worked on. The two teams have been preparing for their tournament since November. Our teams placed 10th and 26th overall! They did a great job and represented our school with great pride! Enumclaw Middle School EMS took 23 students and parents to the 20th annual bridge competition. Therese Nowlin did an amazing job with the bridge competition. The other 14 students participated in the Engineering Fair as spokespersons for Project Lead the Way at Seattle University. They were able to talk to and present their work to hundreds of people. It was an outstanding opportunity for them to connect with real engineers from around the state.

Alumni Spotlight Making the MOST of Education Our district has launched a new feature of Enumclaw High School graduates. Its purpose is to highlight Enumclaw graduates who have used their Enumclaw education as a springboard to further education and success. It is our hope these brief interviews inspire current students as well as share with our community the good things that EHS graduates are doing! If you are or know an EHS alumnus who is interested in being in our Alumni Spotlight...Making the MOST of Education feature, please contact Brenda Sexton at Brenda.Sexton@comcast.net. and/or fill out the submission form on our website and send it to Brenda. http://www.enumclaw.wednet.edu/families/alumni_spotlight/default. aspx

Congratulations! Congratulations to Enumclaw High School student Chad Kelly! His work entitled “Diagonal Line Pattern” was selected to receive a King County Executive Award in the 2015 Regional High School Art Show sponsored by Puget Sound Educational Service District. In addition, his entry was selected to receive an Outstanding Achievement Award in fused glass.

ENUMCLAW SCHOOL DISTRICT

he long awaited sidewalk project to complete the missing SR410 sidewalk link between Downtown and Midtown is underway. The project will continue through the middle of May. The sidewalk will be built on the North side of SR410 and will cross the bridge over Angeline Road. This will provide a safe haven for pedestrians and bicyclists to use as they travel between the Downtown and the Midtown areas of the City. The construction will also rebuild the north side of the bridge, add a sewer line, widen SR410 between the bridge and 192nd Ave, and will add bases for future street lights. During construction, one of the two West bound lanes will be closed both at night and during the regular weekday. At night, work will occur from 7 PM

to 5 AM. During the day, lane closures will occur between 9 AM and 3 PM. Lane closures will not occur every day or night. Detour signs will be set up directing traffic to Sumner-Buckley Highway on days when lane closures are expected. Alternate routes that can be used during this period include Sumner-Buckley Highway/Veterans Memorial Drive, 214th-218th Avenue, and Rhodes Lake Road. Thank you in advance for your patience as these improvements are made. This is the first of 3 SR410 construction projects this year. The next will be the reconstruction of the intersection of SR410 and Veterans Memorial Drive, and this summer WSDOT will repave the driving lanes of SR410 from one end of Bonney Lake to the other. 
