othing says happy like a warm coat in the winter. That’s why East Pierce Fire and Rescue teamed up with the Coats for Kids Foundation for the third year in a row to help out with Operation Warm, an annual program devoted to providing new winter coats to children in the community who otherwise could not afford one. East Pierce firefighters fitted coats on nearly 100 children Dec. 3 at Daffodil Valley Elementary before moving on to five other elementary schools in the Sumner School District. Last year, the Local 3520 firefighter union, which handles the donations for this fundraiser, raised enough money last year to buy 620 coats (about $22,000). “In 2014, we ranked number 10 among all other fire departments in the United

Additional staff
Buckley is planning to add one full-time employee in 2016, putting one more police officer on the streets. But it’s not just the addition to public safety that makes the hire intriguing, it’s the funding source. The city figures an officer’s salary and benefits will be offset by tax revenues generated by Buckley’s two retail marijuana establishments.

CHRISTMAS Property taxes
When it comes to property taxes, the City Council agreed to bump the rate by 1 percent, the maximum allowed under state law.
Utility rates
Utility rates appear stable for now, but water could be bumped during 2016, Johnson said. She also won’t be surprised in a garbage rates increase as well, adding that the decision is mostly out of the city’s hands. Buckley contracts with a private hauler that could increase its charge to the city; the city would then
pass the increase along to its customers.
Capital improvements
A small number of capita l improvements projects are found in the pages of the budget, primary among those a remodel of the multipurpose center. Buck ley’s younger set might be thrilled to learn the city also will pay for a transformation of its skate park. Also planned are improvements to the city parking lot just north of Main Street. While cautioning that everything is speculative
at this point – numbers are always estimates and there may be changes during the coming 12 months – Johnson said Buckley’s financial position is healthy, indeed. The proposed budget, which stayed largely true to form during the adoption process, notes that the city anticipates spending a bit more than $16 million during the coming year, while enjoy ing revenues in excess of $26 million. “We have worked very hard during the past 10 years to have some ver y strong reser ves,” Johnson said.

EAST PIERCE FROM 1 The total rollover money that will be available for the department to use for the first four months of the year is $5.1 million.
Levies & property taxes –chief sources of revenue
Fire and Emergency Medical Services levies account for the majority of revenue fire departments receive, and East Pierce is no different. For 2016, taxpayers in East Pierce’s district should expect to pay close to $1.95 in Fire and EMS levies for every $1,000 in assessed property value. Folks with an assessed value of $250,000 in their land and property will pay approximately $487. Taxpayers used to pay much more in East Pierce’s district because of a maintenance and operations levy, approved in 2012. The M&O levy allowed East Pierce to collect an average of $2.36 per $1,000 in assessed property value (for $250,000 in land and property, taxpayers paid approximately $600 per year) for two years. With the levy’s end in sight in 2015, East Pierce asked voters in August 2014 to renew and increase the M&O levy to approximately $2.50 per $1,000 in assessed property value (meaning $250,000 in land and property cost taxpayers approximately $625 per year) for four years. The increase in the M&O levy would have allowed East Pierce to hire 12 new firefighters. However, the levy failed to muster the supermajor-
Wednesday, December 9, 2015 • THE COURIER-HERALD • Page 5 ity, or 60 percent of voters, it needed to pass. In Nov. 2014, the department tried then to simply re-instate the levy at the levels voters approved in 2012, but the levy would last for four years instead of two. Again, the levy failed to collect 60 percent of voters needed to go into effect. Without the M&O levy, East Pierce’s revenue stream was slashed by around $3 million, or close to 14 percent, which led to furloughing special operations teams, cutting back public education programs and reducing minimum staffing across the district. While Backer said he is not interested in asking voters to approve another M&O levy in the near future, the lids on the current EMS and fire levy need to be lifted and the levies reset to their full amount of $2 per $1,000 in assessed property value if the department is to maintain its current level of operation, he said. The department is also looking at asking for a bond issue in 2017 to address facility and apparatus needs Backer said.
New firefighters, special ops and volunteers
In order to get back up to the normal staffing level of 99 responders at East Pierce, the department will be hiring four entry-level firefighters. Currently, staff levels rest at 97 responders due to two retiring before this year. Two of the new firefighters will be filling those spots. The other two hires will be replacing a firefighter and captain who will be retiring in January and November respectively.
These new firefighters will be put on an 18 month probationary period after they are hired in order to be properly trained, and they will not affect staffing levels until fall of 2017. The four hires account for a $241,186 increase in the ‘Salaries & Wages Ops - Fire’ expense budget account, a 36 percent increase over the previous year. The department is also bringing back its special operations teams for the full year, which accounts for the additional $434,000 in the firefighter salaries expense account. East Pierce’s Special Operations teams are firefighters specially trained for various firefighting and rescue situations, including wildland firefighting, water rescue, technical rescue and the hazardous material response. In 2015, the special operations teams were suspended for six months in order to save money after the M&O levy failed to be approved by voters. In 2016, all four special operations teams will receive training and pay for the entire year. East Pierce is also planning on bringing 10 new volunteer firefighters on board, spreading the cost between 2016 and 2017. Recruitment for volunteer firefighters is planned to take place late summer and fall in 2016 and will focus on recruiting in the Milton, Edgewood and South Prairie areas, in order to increase the number of community responders in those areas. The department estimates it will cost $22,000 to recruit and train the new volunteer firefighters in 2016. In 2017, overtime
costs for in-house training is approximately $46,000. The department plans to train the volunteer firefighters at East Pierce, instead of sending them to other departments, “which would be like the Seahawks sending their rookies to be trained by the Packers,” Backer said. “(In-house training) builds a stronger continuity between the volunteers and the paid guys.”
Staffing levels, capitol projects and community outreach
East Pierce also plans to increase minimum staffing levels from 21 firefighters to 22 during in 2016. Minimum staffing is the amount of firefighters and medical crews on duty at all the career fire stations at one time, and should not be confused with the total amount of first responders the department employs. A minimum staffing level of 21 firefighters meant East Pierce’s engine companies staffed two firefighters at a time. This meant East Pierce’s ladder truck was out of commission last year, because operating a ladder truck requires a minimum of three
members to use it safely. Increasing the minimum staffing level to 22 will allow the ladder truck to come back into service and comes at an additional cost of $150,000 in the overtime budget line item. The department also has four different capital projects needs in the upcoming year. East Pierce plans on connecting Station 118 to the sewer line, since the current septic system is nearing the end of its lifespan. This will cost the department approximately $90,000, funded by the station’s reserve fund. The department also plans to re-chassis two medic units and install power load gurneys into the units, costing approximately $230,000 and $219,500 respectively. Both units are more than 140,000 miles over standard mileage, requiring the replacement and repowering of the drive train and suspension. The power load gurneys allow for better safety of patients and firefighters, reducing the risk of patients being dropped while on a gurney and being lifted into a medic unit, and minimizing back injuries to firefighters when lifting patients. This re-chassising and

installation of the gurneys are both funded through the equipment reserve fund. The last capital project is replacing two brush engines, which will cost the department around $260,000. The department has said both these engines have exceeded their service life, which increases the possibility of an accident while the engines are in use. The engines will be replaced using the department’s capital fund. Finally, East Pierce will be once again hosting open house events throughout the year. Last year, the department did not host an open house because of budget constraints. The department also said it will increase community outreach events in the western half of its service area, as residents in these areas told East Pierce that open houses only in Bonney Lake do nothing for them. The budget calls for an additional $14,400 in the overtime budget line item and an additional $10,200 in the open house supplies line item.

Return to class is a learning experience Last week, I participated in Bonney Lake High School’s Career Day. Frankly, I knew that I was going to stand in front of a classroom full of teenagers and tell them about my career for weeks beforehand. And yet, with all my (over) preparation and foreknowledge of this event, I was still pretty nervous. Scared, even. And I haven’t been legitimately scared for a long time. I wasn’t scared when I ran through the fireline during a wildfire to get a picRay Still ture of firefighters Reporter putting out flames. Was I stupid? Yes. But scared? No. I wasn’t even scared when I pulled out my phone one day and saw that my mother called me multiple times, each call made within a minute or so since the last. This should honestly strike fear into any person older than 16, because those kinds of calls mean one thing and one thing only. So nervous? Uh, yeah. But scared? Not really. But standing in front of a room of high schoolers? Teenagers? Yeah, that scared the crap out of me. Even with a high-school teacher girlfriend (read: soonto-be fiance) who for the last year and a half has inadvertently prepared me to interact with teenagers, my palms were sweating, my voice was shaking, and I was really glad I brought several bags of candy to encourage audience participation. I was scared because, even though I graduated high school nearly six years ago, it still felt like it was only a year since I sat in their seats and listened to some old fogey like me stand up at the front of their classroom and give a presentation (read: lecture) about their career. They may be a professional in their field of choice, but

During World War I in the early 1900s, suspicion against a later group of German immigrants reached its peak. Teaching German in schools was banned, hamburgers were renamed “liberty steaks” and frankfurters were called “hot dogs.” Sauerkraut was renamed “liberty cabbage,” so strong was our antipathy for anything German.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE - Dec. 9, 2015
Tight Winter Budgets
By Britt Nelson Director, Plateau Outreach Ministries
Sophia DeMarco, a sixth-grade student at Enumclaw Middle School, won the Patriot’s Pen writing contest sponsored by the Enumclaw Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1949. Her essay has advanced to the VFW district level. The essay is below.
T
he dictionary tells us freedom is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. To me, freedom is captured in faces, not words. I think of our country’s history and its heroes. I think of those who fought for freedom, those who stood for freedom, and those who embodied freedom. Freedom is the power to act. It is Rosa Parks standing for freedom to live equally. It is Benjamin Franklin standing for American freedom on Engand’s soil. It is our founding fathers gathering for freedom and signing a Declaration of Independence guaranteeing each man and woman freedom of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Freedom is the power to dream. It is Amelia Earhart dreaming of having the freedom to fly. It is Martin Luther King who had “a dream” of brotherhood, and a nation that was an oasis of “freedom and justice.” It was Neil Armstrong who dreamed the impossible and took one “small step for man and a giant leap for mankind.” It is Abraham Lincoln who dreamed of peace in conflict and unity in war. Freedom is the power to choose. It is the Miracle Worker, Anne Sullivan, who chose to see potential in Helen Keller and freed her to communicate. It is thousands of men and women, who have risked their futures, their families and their lives to fight for the freedoms of America and its citizens. It is mothers who give their children wings to fly. It is teachers that free their students to think. It is children who see the world as possibility and refuse to be told they can not make a difference. Freedom is to be treasured. Gail Halvorsen once told me that he had asked some children in post World War II Germany why they were so happy, despite having nothing. They responded, “We have freedom and that is worth more than anything.” For those with freedom, it is often taken for granted. For those without freedom, it is priceless. To me, freedom is living in a country where I get to stand for what I believe in, even if I stand alone. Where I can pursue my dreams, no matter how unrealistic. Where my freedom to choose has been paid for in the blood of those who truly valued freedom.

Beginning in November we start receiving lots of calls from our senior neighbors and adult children of seniors. The utility bills start to increase and budgets for those on fixed incomes get tight. Today one of our seniors stopped in and proudly stated, “I’m still doing OK and I haven’t turned my gas on yet, so I can pay my City bill.” I thought about how cold the previous week had been and this concerned me. When I told him to be sure to stay warm, he said he was working really hard to take care of himself and not ask for help.

Whether we are talking about the 2009 attack at Fort Hood by a radical Islamist that killed 13 and wounded 30 others, the 2012 attack by Islamist militants on the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, the Boston Marathon bombing or even the attack in San Bernardino, the current administration all but refuses to admit that these were terrorist attacks against U.S. citizens by radical Islamist terrorists. Instead, they seem more bent on deflecting the real issues to support their own political agendas. There is no coincidence this

With Christmas fast approaching I was excited to share an article I was writing called “Immanuel - God With Us!” In light of recent events, I felt my article fell short in bringing the relevance of Christ’s birth to the month and day we now live. The voice of the church must be relevant as much as it must be grounded in truth and love. So I decided to speak from my heart as well as God’s word. The terrorist attack that took place in San Bernardino last week marks the eighth Islamist terrorist attack on United States soil during the seven years of the Obama administration. In this most recent attack 14 innocent

that didn’t matter when they stood in front of us high schoolers. What mattered was whether or not they could connect with us, the younger generation that would grow up and run the world as we saw fit. Many times, they couldn’t make that connection, and we would sit politely and listen to their words and nod our heads and ask questions but after they left, really, there were scarce signs that they had been there at all. And almost by magic (read: a year in New York, three in college and one and a half as a reporter), I’m whisked from the desk as a student and transformed into the stranger standing in front of the classroom. If this was a fictional tale, let me tell you, I’d have some choice words to exchange with my fairy godmother. She could have at least given me better shoes to wear. But, no, there was no magic to blame for this abrupt transformation - just time. And in the span of six short years,

We Americans are sometimes double-minded about immigrants. At times immigrants have been hated
CHURCH FROM 8 from the God we once professed. We have pushed God and his word out of our schools and workplaces. We have pushed him out of our laws and practices. We have relegated him to an insignificant corner of our lives and we have forgotten that without him we are nothing.

I was scared that I was no longer relevant to the next generation that looks hungrily at the world, knowing that their time is coming, and coming soon. I left Bonney Lake High School with a feeling that my fears were unfounded, that I was not an obsolete part of society in the eyes of these ridiculously intelligent teenagers. Sure, I was able to tell a few funny jokes, and when they gave me answers I liked I lobbed some candy their way (often unsuccessfully) but I wouldn’t attribute these cantrips to why I feel I was able to connect with them. I stood in front of these teenagers, these budding adults, and I saw myself in each of them, and I remembered exactly what I wanted from people like me, who come into their world to present pieces of my world to them, like friendly offerings between two strange countries. They want life. Real, unadulterated, wild, unpredictable life and the passion, the joy, the tragedy and the triumph, the fight and the fall and the redemption that comes with it. They’re tired of having life parceled to them, chemically grown under
sterile conditions, carefully tested and wrapped tightly with a bow. And these teenagers, with wit in their eyes and fire in their hearts, they know the difference and yearn for something that won’t change with the constantly transforming world around them. Something tangible they can wrap their fingers around. Something real. I think old fogeys like me forget that we, too, felt this way while we were deciding what to do with our lives. So to those of you who I talked with, shared my jokes and experiences with, I hope I was able to give a little bit of that to you, and I hope other presenters were able to give it to you as well. I hope that during these tumultuous times, you find something stable and strong to hold yourself fast to. And I hope that whatever paths you decide to go down during your walk through life that you find the fulfilling happiness that only struggle and your strength of will can help you find. Thank you for allowing me to come into your world. It really was a learning experience.

Karen Morris was wrong when she stated, “This (current) refugee stance is so un-American.” Historically, anti-immigration is part of America’s DNA. It’s as American as apple pie. What Karen meant was that the anti-immigrant position we are hearing today from a few Republican candidates is against the ideals and shared values of this nation. She is right about that. Hopefully, the vast majority of Americans can see that this anti-immigrant stance held by a few is based upon fear rather than reason. As in our history, good sense will prevail in the end.
ing the Children of Israel, Joshua had to remind them of their heritage and all God had done for their people saying, “But if you refuse to serve the Lord, then choose today whom you will serve….But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.” It is clear that our hope will never be found in Democrats or Republicans. Our hope is found in the king of kings, in a savior who was born in a manger. Our hope is found in Immanuel…God With Us! If God is with us who can be against us? Our leaders and we the American people must
humbly turn our hearts back to God and profess once again that we are a Christian nation and we put our trust in God alone. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, “Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.” The birth of Immanuel brought hope to all mankind. He came to establish his kingdom on earth and save us from our sins and all of our enemies. His kingdom will never fall and he will reign forever
and ever. Call on his name and celebrate his birth and victory on the cross this Christmas season. That my friend is why the Christmas season is marked with love, peace, joy and hope! They are all found in Immanuel…God With Us! Heath Rainwater is lead pastor at Grace Point NW Church

In an effort to prolong their ultimate demise, this arborist has created one for the end of the year. The following Top 10 list has been developed from situations I often encounter. Many serve as warnings when addressing our landscape concerns. Unfortunately, some of the these are repeated year after year to the dismay
of arborists. So here goes, in no particular order of importance. No. 10: Beware of the lawn service or overly ambitious husDennis Tompkins band who threatens Columnist your small trees and shrubs with hedge trimmers.

shape. Unfortunately, it is a common practice to fire up a machine by landscape services because it is a fast and easy way to finish a job. No. 9: The winter storm season is upon us. If a tree has fallen during a severe wind, it is wise to determine whether a root rot was involved. Fallen trees should be checked by a knowledgeable and experienced professional to closely examine the roots for signs of a root disease. If so, nearby trees may also be infected since these diseases can travel by root to root contact. No. 8: Be respectful of neighbors who
wish to preserve their trees when view issues arise. Remember who actually owns the trees. No. 7: If tree problems arise with a neighbor, try for a peaceful settlement without involving attorneys and lawsuits. Cool heads can lead to win-win solutions when various workable options are considered. No. 6: If worried about your own or a neighbor’s trees, have a hazard evaluation done by a professional. If a dangerous situation is discovered, the investment will

Picking a healthy Christmas tree this season the debate rages on. Living trees are often grown on small, family farms and provide food and shelter for wildlife as they grow. Harvesting a tree from the forest (get a permit first)
helps to thin the understory so other native plants will grow better. Cut Christmas trees can also be recycled as compost or mulch – plus you get that great Christmas tree fragrance.
Another option is a potted living Christmas tree, usually a spruce or fir. The problem with a living Christmas tree is that it hates to spend time indoors. The heat of your home will wake the tree from winter dormancy and then the confused tree will suffer from the cold when placed back outside. One solution is to enjoy a potted tree on a deck or patio that

birds.
Norfolk Island Pine – the houseplant Christmas tree
A good alternative to a potted fir or spruce tree is a tropical evergreen that looks like a fir tree but is actually an indoor houseplant. This member of the Araucaria family is a native from an island off the coast of Australia and will thrive for years in a pot so it makes a nice year-round houseplant once the holidays are over. The only problem with a healthy, happy Norfolk Island pine is the size. The compact potted tree you buy this year has ambitions to grow into an 80-foot timber tree. If you’ve got the space and a bright sun room or greenhouse you may enjoy decorating your indoor tree for many Christmas seasons in the future.
Care of your cut tree
To extend the life of your cut Christmas tree you need to keep the cut end in water. This means opting for a tree stand that holds a large amount of water and checking daily to make sure that reservoir stays filled. If you don’t cut the tree yourself you will want to recut the stem with a saw once you get it home. A freshly cut tree

Some needle drop from a cut tree is acceptable but before you commit, stand up your chosen tree and bang the cut end onto the ground. If more than a handful of needles fall from the branches the tree has dried out. Move on. Another test is to bend back a needle on the tree. A freshly cut tree will have pliable needles that bend. A dry tree has needles that break in half when bent. One more thing: check any cut tree for wildlife before bringing it indoors. Wasp nests, spiders, tiny owls and frightened woodland gnomes have all been unexpected stowaways hiding on cut trees. (OK, not true about the gnomes – they prefer to be called Christmas elves this time of year.) ••• Marianne Binetti has a degree in horticulture from Washington State University and is the author of “Easy Answers for Great Gardens” and several other books.

have been worthwhile to remove the risk and contribute to everyone’s safety and peace of mind – particularly that of a tree’s owner. No. 5: If a “doorbell arborist” encourages tree removals or windsailing a tree, consider a second opinion from a certified professional for an objective assessment. Do not be afraid to question credentials and whether a commission is to be paid on the amount quoted for the job. If so, does the individual truly have your best interests at heart? No. 4: Do not top trees. Unfortunately many trees are unnecessarily butchered. The results are ugly, often create maintenance nightmares and can shorten a tree’s life. Overpruning usually stimulates fast growing sprouts as trees attempt to replace the removed leaves and twigs that served as the food manufacturing plant. No. 3: When considering using pesticides later in the spring, have a problem properly identified, select a legal and
effective treatment and apply it at the right time. Otherwise, a treatment will have been ineffective. Be certain to follow the labeled instructions. No. 2: Remember that the best tree pruning jobs are those that appear as if very little has been done. Butcher jobs are all too obvious – especially when the tortured skeletons of trees are revealed during the fall and winter. Finally, No. 1: A big thank you to all the readers who hopefully have learned a bit from the columns. I look forward to another year of informing you about tree issues. Feel free to continue to contact me with your questions.

Boeing in Puget Sound:
A Century of Partnership Boeing supporting 14,000 technical scholarships for Washington state students
B
oeing’s investment of $25 million – combined with an equal amount contributed by Microsoft and matched by the state of Washington – is enabling nearly 14,000 students to earn technology degrees within the decade. So far, scholarships have been awarded to 5,500 low- and middle-income students in Washington state, with nearly 60 percent being the first members of their families to attend college, according to Stan Deal, Boeing senior vice president - Commercial Aviation Services and a member of the Washington State Opportunity Scholarship board of directors speaking at an event to raise funds for additional scholarships. Addressing more than 300 community and political leaders in Seattle, Deal noted Boeing has “a vision of a future in which all students have access to educational opportunities so they can develop their skills, pursue their dreams and build a better world. “We are investing billions of dollars to design and produce the next generation of airplanes right here in Washington,” Deal added. “Through the Washington State Opportunity Scholarship, we are also investing in the next generation of employees in our community so that they can learn the skills they need to capture opportunities that Boeing and other leading companies
$25 million investment helps provide science, technology, engineering and math scholarships are creating.” Established five years ago, the scholarship provides financial assistance, creates research opportunities and matches recipients with mentors in business and technology. That includes Boeing Engineering leaders who mentor the students pursuing both undergraduate and advance degrees through the Opportunity Scholarship program. The public-private scholarship “ensures that our kids, who grew up here, have the opportunity to get a
high-tech degree,” said former Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire, adding that the program will enable the state’s leading companies to remain “among the best in the world.” Mahdi Ramadan, who is using his scholarship to research applying computer technology to assist individuals with neurological disorders, told the crowd, “My dreams are scary big, but so are the dreams of thousands of individuals like me.” Ramadan recounted how his family immigrated to the United States, when he was 11 years old, after being evacuated by U.S. Marines on a humanitarian mission during civil strife in Lebanon. The scholarship gives individuals “an opportunity to follow their dreams despite the financial limitations of their families,” the University of Washington student said. Microsoft president Brad Smith noted Washington currently has more than 20,000 unfilled jobs in science, technology, engineering and health care. “This program is all about empowering the next generation so they can achieve more,” Smith said. By training the next generation of researchers, engineers and technical employees, the scholarship also “solves problems for all of our companies and for the economy as a whole.”

Increasing Deliveries
When did Boeing hire its first engineer? In 1916, Wong Tsu was hired as Boeing’s first aeronautical engineer. He helped design Boeing’s first Model C production seaplane. What was Boeing’s first jetliner? The 707, first known as the Dash 80, was Boeing’s first jetliner and profoundly altered the future of passenger air travel even though Time magazine called it the “gamble in the sky.” Have Boeing planes always been used for Air Force One? In 1962, two 707-320B jets were adapted for use by President John F. Kennedy, earning designation Air Force One” when the president is on board. Since then, Boeing 7-7 series airplanes have continued to be the official aircraft of the U.S. president. Did Boeing have influence with NASA’s Project Apollo’s nine manned and unmanned expeditions? Virtually all of Project Apollo’s spacecraft and launch vehicles— including the Saturn V rocket, Apollo command and service modules, and Lunar Roving Vehicle—were designed, developed and built by Boeing. Why is the 777 significant in Boeing’s 7-7 series airplanes? The 777 was the first commercial jet to be 100 percent digitally designed. When complete, the new 777x series will be the world’s largest and mostefficient, twin-engine jet. Is the Dreamlifter the largest airplane in the world? No. The largest airplane in the world is currently the Antonov An-225 Mriya. However, the Dreamlifter’s 65,000 cubic feet (1,840 cubic meters) cargo hold is the largest in the world, and it can hold three times the volume of a 747-400F freighter.
The new Seattle Delivery Center opens its doors to help with increasing deliveries of 737s
K
ing County executive Dow Constantine and Seattle mayor Ed Murray joined Boeing leaders and aviation students to snip the ribbon at the grand opening of the new and significantly larger Seattle Delivery Center at Boeing Field.
The delivery center’s newest addition is partially due to the increasing volume of 737s being built, delivered and yet to be delivered. Over the next decade Boeing will be delivering an average of two airplanes every weekday, month-after-
month, for the foreseeable future. “This facility is a sign of our continued commitment to the community and the Puget Sound region,” said Pat Shanahan, senior vice president of Airplane Programs.
Boeing teams with Northwest Harvest to nourish children over holiday break No child should go hungry, especially during the holidays. This is why more than 30 Boeing volunteers formed an efficient assembly line, packing nearly 1,000 backpacks full of food for low-income children to bring home to help feed their families over the holidays. Northwest Harvest fills this gap in services for low-income students who rely on school and summer meal programs and often have a tough time during these longer school breaks.

USO recognizes Boeing support for military and their families in Northwest
ach year thousands of military members and their families transit our region, often tired and in need of support. To help make their journeys easier, the USO Northwest recently opened a new welcome center at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport that was made possible in part by a $335,000 grant from the Employees Community Fund of Boeing Puget Sound. In special recognition of this and past efforts, the USO Northwest recently honored Boeing and its employees with its Order of Distinguished Service at its annual Gala and Auction in Seattle. This award is the highest level of recognition by USO Northwest and is reserved for individuals and organizations having demonstrated exceptional service to military members and their families through sustained support of the USO Northwest. “Military service puts a tremendous burden on our military and their families,” said Robert Malone, president of

the ECF Board of Trustees. “Boeing is committed to supporting our military and honored that the company and efforts of thousands of Puget Sound employees is being recognized.” The United Services Organization is a nonprofit organization that lifts the spirits of America’s troops and their families millions of times each year at hundreds of places worldwide. Boeing executives serve on USO
boards, and many employees are volunteers. Since 1996, Boeing and its employees have given more than $1.3 million to the USO through charitable grants as well as contributions through the Employees Community Fund of Boeing. “The mission of the USO is to lift the spirits of our military and their families,” said Tami Michaels, gala chair 2015, USO board member and U.S.
Army Mom. “At the USO, what we do isn’t fancy. Whether it’s a safe place to sleep, something to eat, a telephone call home, or something as simple as a shower, USO Northwest continues to deliver on our promise to always be by their side.” The ECF is a unique, employeeowned charitable giving program. Because Boeing pays all overhead costs, 100 percent of every dollar contributed to ECF is granted to nonprofit agencies providing health and human services. ECF grants enable agencies to purchase equipment, renovate their facilities and create new programs that directly help their clients and strengthen their communities. USO Northwest serves more than 500,000 active-duty military members and their families annually throughout Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. In a unique contribution, Boeing donated teakwood decking from the historic battleship USS Colorado to serve as flooring of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport’s new welcome center.

Giving Back... Boeing employees are making a significant difference in communities where they live and work. ECF grants enable local Health & Human Service agencies to purchase equipment, renovate their facilities and build new construction that directly benefit thousands of people in need. Last year, more than $9 million in grants were awarded to community nonprofits throughout the Puget Sound region. Here are some recent grant recipients:
$40,000 delivers new transit van SEATTLE — Immanuel Community Services (ICS), located in Seattle’s Cascade neighborhood was granted $40,000 for a new 2014 Ford Transit van for food collection and to transport clients. The agency, an independent offspring of Immanuel Lutheran Church, provides assistance to the homeless, the needy and those with drug addictions.
The new 44,000-square-foot facility will preserve care for the 7,000 patients currently provided at Neighborcare Health’s Greenwood Medical Clinic and Public Health’s North Public Health Center, and will double access to provide a health care home for at least 14,000 patients.
$259,100 grant for new Meridian Center for Health
SEATTLE — Neighborcare Health was granted $259,100 toward the purchase of dental chairs and furnishings for its low-income dental clinic located at the new Meridian Center for Health in north Seattle. Neighborcare Health is Seattle’s largest provider of community-based primary medical and dental care, serving 52,000 individuals through 26 medical, dental and school-based clinics.
$25,000 grant allows for needed renovations
$32,000 for ARC KING COUNTY — A $32,000 grant was awarded to ARC of King County for two 2012 Honda Civics to support the 50+ clients in its Supported Living Program. These two additional vehicles, — one focused for needs in the Eastside and the other for South King County — will solve scheduling problems for clients and open up opportunities for timely and safe transportation. Since 1936, the ARC of King County has provided services and advocacy for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
WHITE CENTER — Westside Baby, located in Seattle’s White Center neighborhood, was funded $25,000 for renovations to its bathrooms and staircase to meet ADA codes and make the distribution center more accessible to clients and volunteers. More than 120 local social service agencies, including shelters and food banks, rely upon Westside Baby to provide critical necessities for low-income families. In 2014, they distributed more than 1 million free diapers along with 826 car seats, 267 cribs and clothing for infants and children up to size 12.
$40,000 grant for campus improvements REDMOND — Together Center was granted $40,000 for exterior renovations and paint for four buildings at its direct service campus located in Redmond. More than 37,000 residents and their families use the services at the campus each year. Twenty independent health and human service agencies offer medical and dental care, overnight shelter for youth, low-income housing and homelessness assistance, mental health counseling, therapeutic programs for disabilities, child care support and much more.

Sports! Sumner & Bonney Lake High School Previews The COURIER-HERALD • www.courierherald.com
Swim and dive
The 2015 season started Dec. 3 for the Panthers when it faced the Enumclaw Hornets. Bonney Lake fell 130-36. “We are excited about the coming season,” coach Jay Paulson said. “This is a rebuilding year.” He said this season the Panthers have a number of swimmers and divers who are new to the program. He added, the “returners will have a great season.” One of the team captains, Ryan Engledow is in his fourth season with the Panthers. Paulson said Engledow made an appearance at state the last two seasons and “this year he’s training hard for a great end of season.” Bonney Lake’s other co-captain is William Sidwell. He is returning for his third season of swimming, Paulson said. “He really had a breakthrough year in the
100 free last year,” Paulson said of Sidwell. “He also does backstroke and whatever else is needed.” Another returning is Colton Bonnett who enters his second season of diving. Paulson said he hopes Bonnett can help lead new divers Tristan Casner and Kameron Moergeli. And other returners that will contribute points, Paulson said are Noah AustinChurch, Max Kalamar, Billy Knight, Billy Rohrbough, and Jared Lodholm. New Panthers to the team this season, who show potential Paulson said are Jaden Livingston, Aiden Fairweather, Cole and Jeremy Johnsen, and Colton Kerns. “These guys are working very hard and it will be exciting to watch them improve as the season goes on,” he said. Up next for Bonney Lake are league rivals Sumner. The Panthers travel to the Sumner High School pool for a 3:30 p.m. start time on Thursday, Dec. 10.
Wrestling
Second year coach Dan Pitsch said the Panthers return to start the season after fin-
ishing in ninth place in the state tournament last season. He said seven qualified for state last year, six male wrestlers and one female. He said all but one of the male wrestlers is returning this season. And he added, this year the Panthers have two female wrestlers on the team. Pitsch said a stand out wrestler for Bonney Lake is sophomore Brandon Kaylor. Kaylor won state last season as a freshman, Pitsch said. Another returner is senior Avery Meyer who finished second in state as a junior. “Two of the best kids by far,” Pitsch said. He added, about 90 percent of last season’s team is returning and the Panthers are looking for another top 10 finish. The Panthers wrestled in the White River Classic on Saturday and up next for Bonney Lake is an away match against Peninsula. The Panthers look to face the Seahawks during a 6 p.m. match today, Wednesday, Dec. 9. The first home match of the season is Wednesday, Dec. 16 who Bonney Lake hosts the Auburn Mountainview Lions.

League play begins today, Wednesday, Dec. 9, at 6 p.m. at Auburn Mountainview. “We are looking for a positive season this year,” coach Matt Harshman said. Last year, he said the Spartans finished the season as co-dual meet champions with Auburn. “And we’d like to improve on that,” he added. Sumner spent the offseason training at summer camps and conditioning in the fall. “Coming into the season we should have experience in all the weight classes and some key upperclassman to help perform at tournaments,” Harshman said. Returning for the Spartans are seniors Tucker Wooding and Josiah Schliesman, junior Nathan James and sophomore Kalel Salcedo. Harshman added, others wrestlers looking to make an impact this season are seniors Conner Wade-Centeno, Dakotah Crawford and Jake Harmon, juniors Trace Fischlin and Jacob Brunbaugh and sophomores Conner Filleau and Cavan Weber. “We (also) have a talented group of incoming Freshman looking to find a spot in the lineup and create some noise in the SPSL 3A,” Harshman said. He added, the Spartans believe it has a tough team this year but will need to compete every match against tough SPSL 3A opponents. “We believe if we control our attitude, preparation and effort each week,” he said. “We will reach our goals and have a successful season.”

By Kevin Hanson Senior Writer
BOYS WRESTLING
Headed by a pair of state meet veterans, the White River High boys have launched themselves into another season of wrestling. So far, coach Joe Klein likes what he sees. “We are young but the kids are working hard,” Klein said in an emailed report. “We haven’t had a group this focused and dedicated in many years. Our goal is to improve every day and make some noise when it counts.” Aside from experienced wrestlers, Klein has a batch of newcomers that, he says, should create some excitement. White River is coming off a season in which the team placed third at subregionals and advanced a dozen wrestlers to regional competition, eventually sending four to state.
Enumclaw winter previews
Graduation meant the loss of regional champion Mason Hamilton and thirdplace Garret Severson. Each managed a victory at the state meet before being eliminated. The two returning Hornets with the strongest resumés are sophomores Cooper Franklin and Ryan Redford, both veterans of last season’s Class 2A state meet. At Mat Classic, Franklin won a pair of matches to claim eighthplace honors while Redford dropped his first two matches in the Tacoma Dome. This year’s squad boasts five seniors: Dylan Kohler, Bailey Kuykendall and Case Ford return with regional experience. Klein also is looking forward to strong contributions from Juan Ortiz and Tyler Ericson. The junior class is led by returning starter Cole Tucker, who was a regional participant. Other juniors include

WRESTLING
The Enumclaw boys wrestling team is on a mission this season and it is called back-toback. The Hornets are on a quest to win back-toback 3A state championships after taking the crown home last season. ” (The) wrestlers are hoping for back-toback state titles; they are working toward that goal everyday,” coach Adam Eilers wrote in an email. “We would like to be (South Puget Sound) league champions as well. That is a title that we haven’t had in a few years and we would like to get it back. There are tough teams standing in our way (Sumner and Auburn) co-league champions last season.” Enumclaw has some top-rated wrestlers who are looking for individual titles this season. Senior Kyle Opland took third last season at 113 pounds and sophomore Quinton Southcott took third at 120 pounds. Both will be looking
to move up to the top of the bracket. Junior Jake Treece took second last season at 126 losing to teammate Hunter Haney, who graduated in June. This should be Treece’s year to stand on the top step. Tanner Turnbow and Levi Ward each made the state bracket and are expected do well out this season. “All are looking great in the room right now and all of them seem to be on a mission,” Eilers said.
GYMNASTICS
The Enumclaw gymnastic team will continue the legacy of excellence this season with top-form returning gymnast and gifted young athletes. Coach Regina Chynoweth wrote in an email, “I believe we once again have a lot of talented and hard working gymnasts who will live up to the Enumclaw standard of excellence that has been set since the beginning of our program four years ago.”

WHITE RIVER FROM 19 Matt Ayala, Dalton Trujillo, Zac Furman, Beau Sentinella and Hunter Williams. The Hornets’ sophomore contingent is headed by Franklin, projected to compete at 120 pounds, and Redford, who figures to be at 132 or 138. Other sophomores on the squad include Tyler Phillips, Dalton Duncan, Cody Brown and Quinton Lyver. As for the team’s youngest wrestlers, Klein has high hopes. “I wouldn’t be surprised if every one of our freshman gets varsity experience this year,” he reported. Leading the frosh group are Max Wheeler, Nathan Moore and Jack Ervian. Other freshman include Dylan Ellefson, Lyle Milligan, Brandon Ortiz, Brandon Cox, Carsten Riley, Dawson Duncan, Jonathan McBride, Chaise

GIRLS WRESTLING
White River coach Rich Valdez has welcomed back three girls from a team that placed seventh at last season’s state meet. Unlike the boys, girls from throughout the state of Washington combine for a season-ending state meet that includes grapplers from all divisions – from the largest Class 4A programs to the smallest B schools. At last season’s Mat Classic in the Tacoma Dome, White River took five girls and totaled 67 points, finishing behind state champion Grandview, Mount Baker, Todd Beamer, Centralia, Sunnyside and Puyallup. The two big departures from that squad, both lost to graduation, were Hannah Lewandowski and Kendra Blue. Lewandowski was

the state champion at 190 pounds while Blue brought home fourthplace honors at 130. Three state veterans return to lead the Hornet program: junior Erin Redford competed last year at 125 pounds, placing third at both the regional and state meets; Jacey Lindner, now a junior, wrestled at 190 pounds last year, finishing fourth at regionals and going on the win one of three matches at state; and sophomore Tatiana Molinero wrestled at 145 pounds last year, claiming fifth place at regionals before dropping her first two matches at state. Others on this year’s Hornet roster include seniors Madison Altamirano, Darien Barbee, Victoria Burton, Maria Dimas, Tabitha Freymuth and Brianne Wiens; juniors Cassandra Altamirano and Francisca Smith; sophomores Madeline Emerson and Rebekah Lockemy; and freshman Payton Stroud.

ENUMCLAW FROM 19 Since the program was founded the Hornets have not finished below second as a team at the state meet. The Hornets won the state title in 2012 and 2013. The team took second at state last season, in 2014 and 2011. There are 27 gymnasts on the team this season include returning seniors and captains Victoria Hernandez, Tianna Johnston, Alicia Woodford and Melissa Dion. The girls are working hard and will once again be a force in the division as a team and individually. Chynoweth is in her first year of coaching the Hornets. She has been coaching at Peak Gymnastics and previously at the Enumclaw Gymnastic Center.
SWIM AND DIVE
The Enumclaw boys are posting top times in the pool as the season is ready to get under way – a very good sign. The Hornets swim and dive team include a impressive group of athletes that will make a mark this season. Coach Jesse Nitz is looking at a group of likely state competitors. “We graduated a very tal-
ented group of seniors last year, however, our returning swimmers have come back ready to fill their shoes,” Nitz wrote in an email. “There have already been several lifetime bests in practice, which has gotten everyone really excited to compete. There is so much potential in this young team. I fully expect to continue our winning ways and likely have several swimmers in the finals at the state championships.” Senior Brandon Vick is the captain and Nitz said, “He holds the school record in the 500 yard free at 4 minutes, 57.05 seconds. (He is) a returning state qualifier, very hard worker and natural leader.” Sophomore Ethan Horan is a top competitor in sprints and a returning state qualifier. Nitz said Horan is packed with potential. Sophomore Nathan March is a backstroke specialist and Nitz said his hard work and “attention to technique have yielded huge time drops.” Reuben Madewell, a junior, gives the Hornets a double threat as both a diver and swimmer. “A very good racer,” Nitz said. “If the race is close he can be counted on to touch first.”

Victories go to Enumclaw boys, White River girls
Enumclaw and White River battled to a draw during a Friday night hoop doubleheader. While the Enumclaw Hornet boys captured their contest 63-62, the White River girls wound up on the winning side of a 60-52 score. The games were staged in the EHS gymnasium.

Scoring came from a couple of the taller players on the floor.

The following day, White River hosted Ellensburg and fell 62-46 to the visitors.
