The holiday season is a time for gratefulness and gift-giving, and not just for families and friends. Food banks like the one in Bonney Lake have come to rely on the holiday spirit as a bulk source of revenue. The October, November and December months often bring in a large portion of the money that goes toward financing the food bank for the next year. This year, though, the Bonney Lake Food Bank seems to be coming up short on financial donations as December quickly comes to a close. Between October and Dec. 9, the food bank

received almost $13,000 in donations, compared to the $20,000 that was donated the previous year during the same time period. “It just feels tight,” said Executive Director Stew Bowen. “This time of year, I’m used to going to the post office and getting handfuls of checks. And this year, it’s just not there.” Luckily for the food bank, its fiscal year begins in July, so a bountiful spring and early summer season could help the food bank catch up in its funds in order to stay at its current level of operation, which costs roughly $96,000 a year.

City of Enumclaw budget ‘Salmon cannon’ coming to Sumner; Troutlodge signs partnership with Whooshh approved by council By Kevin Hanson Senior Writer

Dollars and cents are traditionally the primary order of business during December’s gathering of the Enumclaw City Council. That held true last week when the city’s 2016 budget received a formal blessing. The council authorized the next year’s spending plan during its Dec. 14 session and – also in keeping with tradition – cancelled its second

meeting of the month. The budget generally ref lects the mood of the nation, which is enjoying renewed confidence in the economy. Councilman Chance LaFleur, a major player in this year’s budget deliberations, recalled being introduced to the term “deficit spending” when he joined the council four years ago. This time around, he noted, the

After a summer of helping pink salmon traverse up the White River, the Bellevue company Whooshh Innovations will be partnering with Sumner trout broodstock giant Troutlodge in developing safer ways to transport live fish from area to area. “We’re an early adopter,” said Troutlodge CEO Steve Brown in a press release. “We’ve been carefully watching the

progress that Whooshh has made in terms of fish health and welfare. Because of this, we at Troutlodge are very committed to using this technology. We believe it will not only be better for the fish but also safer for our workers.” Under the terms of the agreement, signed Dec. 3, Whooshh will deliver two 65-foot transport systems that will help Troutlodge ship live Rainbow Trout broodstock around their main facility in Sumner

called Trout Springs. The first system will be delivered in early 2016. Troutlodge was established in 1945 and is currently the world’s leading producer of trout eggs, sending nearly 500 million eggs across the world every year, said John Dentler, director of government relations at the company. Whoosh Innovations, which started in 2007, has patented a system of live

FOOD BANK FROM 1 This financial strain comes at a time when the food bank is expanding its Backpack Program. The program supplies kids with backpacks filled with food to last them through the weekend, when they otherwise may not have food to eat. The program started when the food bank opened in 2009, supplying food to students at the five elementary schools in Bonney Lake The Lakeridge and Mountain View middle

“It just feels tight. This time of year, I’m used to going to the post office and getting handfuls of checks. And this year, it’s just not there.”

schools were added to the program two years ago and last May, the program expanded to include Bonney Lake High School. As of last week, the program fills backpacks for 141 students every Friday. On average, the food

bank serves between 1,000 and 1,300 households a month. Last year, October set a record for households served a month since the food bank opened in 2009, serving 1,304 households out of the food bank alone. This number does not include children in the backpack program, which would increase the number of people served. The busiest month in 2015 was July, where 1,292 households were served at the food bank alone. During the month of July, kids were able to get food at Allan Yorke Park with the food bank’s Kidz

Mealz program, which is in operation June through September. The food bank recorded more than 1,400 households were served through the Kidz Mealz program July 2015, increasing the number of households served during that month to more than 2,700. But in the face of increasing need and falling revenue, Bowen said he is just going to have to hustle harder to make sure everyone who needs aid will receive it. “We don’t cut. We grow,” Bowen said. “If that means I’ve got to reduce my salary, I’ll do that.”

the council addressed a couple of matters relating to revenues and expenditures. First, as anticipated, the council increased sewer rates by 3 percent, effective Jan. 1. That move was anticipated in the budget. City Administrator Chris Searcy noted the rate bump exceeds the regional Consumer Price Index, but noted the city’s desire to implement smaller, more frequent, increases, rather than a large rate hike somewhere down the road. Within the sewer utility, Searcy said, there will be capital

projects coming that will require additional funds. The sewer utility is one of the city’s “enterprise funds,” meaning it must take in as much as it spends. Ma k i ng a sl ig ht a mend ment to t he prepared budget, the cou nci l u na ni mously followed a recommendation of Councilman Mike Sando and earmarked $15,000 for two projects. The source of the money is the city’s lodging tax. The council OK’d a $10,000 a llocation to VisitRainier, a nonprofit organization that strives

to promote tourism around Mount Rainier, and $5,000 to Spectrum Creative A l lia nce, a group that puts on an arts program. In other items during their Dec. 14 meeting, members of the council: • Watched the swearing-in ceremony of fellow Councilman Morgan Irwin by City Attorney Mike Reynolds. Irwin had prev iously been appointed to the council and was elected in November; that’s why he was sworn in last week, Rey nold s ex pla i ned . Others who were elected in November, but will

join the council for the first time, will be sworn in during the first meeting in Januar y. Those two are Jan Molinero and Kimberly Lauk. • Said goodbye to Darrel Dick son a nd Jim Hogan, who were attending t heir f ina l meetings as members of the council. Hogan was the longest-serving member of the group, having joined in June 2003, whi le Dickson wrapped up a four-year term. Each received a plaque and Enumclaw afghan. • Heard of a contract ex tension t hat dea ls

COUNCIL FROM 1 seven-member group was able to pass a document that could be considered balanced. “It’s only $7,400,” LaFleur said, but the 2016 budget is in the black. Mayor Liz Reynolds shared his sentiments. “Your city is in a pretty good financial state,” she said, noting that arriving at a balanced budget required a series of tough decisions during the recession years. While passing the budget without debate,

Public Works Director Scott Woodbury said the program provides a beneficial use for the sludge that would otherwise be landfilled. Searcy, who had an opportunity to visit the Douglas County destination, noted that expert analysis shows the biosolids yield a better harvest than chemical fertilizers.

A Caring Community

By Britt Nelson Director, Plateau Outreach Ministries

1491987

We at POM are continually grateful for the partnerships we have within the community to help those most in need. Several weeks ago, we heard sirens just up the street. We really don’t hear them often and so we all took notice. Within the hour the fire crews were bringing a family to Plateau Outreach Ministries for help. They had a fire in their home. Thankfully everyone was safe, but their home became unlivable until the smoke and damage could be cleaned and repaired. The family had several kids, plus a mom and dad. We were able to take them into More Pennies from Heaven thrift store to get the clothing they needed for the whole family. We supplied toiletries and some basic essentials to get them through the evening. The next morning I had an email from the mayor letting us know of this family’s need as well. It was great to be able to answer that the fire department had brought them right over and we were able to help. In the following days they were back in, still a bit in shock, trying to take next steps in putting their household back together. We matched them up with some of the needed furniture through our donation list and connected them to available resources until insurance and repairs were in place. Earlier in November we had an evening to give new coats to kids. Many families came and it was wonderful to see the kids leaving with warm winter coats and huge smiles!! In addition to the families we see at POM, we let school counselors and principals know that these were available to kids if they knew anyone in need. Mary (identity protected) called from the school district about a family that was in dire need.

They were not able to come that evening because of transportation problems. There were three kids at schools in our district and they were still wearing t-shirts in the cold of November. Mary had been to the home and knew the kids’ and family’s situation. When Mary came to POM, she shared the incredible need she saw in the home. “They have no food in the house,” she said. “They have almost nothing.” We sent Mary with coats for all the kids, plus food and items Mary thought would be most helpful to this family. Mary is an incredible advocate for kids. By personally delivering coats and food to this family, she is increasing the chances that these kids stay in school. We have seen Mary a number of times since our coat give-away. Each time, she has connected with a family and knows exactly what the kids need. We are so thankful to be a resource to the families in our community. We are thankful for the partnerships with our schools, our fire department and our city who don’t hesitate to connect families to Plateau Outreach Ministries in their times of need. As our last Neighbors in Need article, I wanted to share just one of many gratitude stories we receive ~ A little boy was here with his family. He told us that if he happened to win the lottery, he would open a place like this (meaning POM). Then he would help his mom and dad. And then maybe some for himself! We couldn’t believe that he made himself #3 on the list! Many thanks to you, our donors and our community, that help make Plateau Outreach Ministries the place that it is. A place where we can help families when they most need it.

SALMON FROM 1 fish transport that minimizes stress and injury to fish while being transported, the company says. The transport system, casually referred to as a “salmon cannon”, uses differential pressure to move fish along a waterlubricated tube to be released (gently) on the other side. This is vastly different than how companies like Troutlodge normally transport fish, which was to encourage them into a crowd and lift them by net or crate into a truck and be driven to their destination. Most of Whooshh’s cannons are only a few dozen feet long, like the ones Troutlodge will use, but Whoosh has built a 500 foot cannon in Norway (though that system does not transport live fish) and plans to test a 1,000 foot long system in January. On its website, Whooshh predicts that t heir transpor tation system can be vastly improved, and it may be possible to have systems up to 2,000 feet long, cover an elevation of 1,000 feet, or even transport fish straight up at a 90 degree angle without harming or stressing the fish. Fish going through the cannon can reach speeds up to 22 miles per hour, and the system can transport a maximum of one fish every one and a half seconds, depending on the size and power of the pump being used.

Troutlodge plans to transport one fish every four seconds, and move up to 15,000 fish a day.

Working on the White River?

Whoosh was introduced to Troutlodge last summer while Whoosh was working with the Puyallup Tribe on the White River dam right outside Buckley. Whoosh used their cannon to move pink salmon out of the river into a truck, which then transported the fish to their final destination – their spawning grounds a few miles upstream from the Mud Mountain Dam. Due to the repairs the Army Corp of Engineers were making last summer to the dam, which feeds water from the White River into Lake Tapps, Whoosh was only able to catch the tail-end of the spawning season, said Whooshh CEO Vince Bryan III. This meant the startup worked for two weeks at the end of the spawning season, transporting roughly a truck or two of fish every day (every truck contained approximately 150 fish per load). The purpose of this pilot project was to show that the Whooshh transport system would work just as well in the salmon’s natural habitat as it would in controlled environments like Trout Springs, Bryan said. This is important, because the Army Corp of Engineers is currently looking for ways to improve how salmon and other fish swim over the

The Buckley dam apron, top, was preventing salmon from making it up steam, as fish would repeatedly bash themselves against the structure or die from exhaustion.

Buckley dam, especially since thousands of salmon kill themselves trying to make it over the dam every year. In 2013 the Corp announced that it planned to fix the dam and improve safety to salmon by 2020 after lawsuits were filed by environmental and tribal groups. In the meantime, repairs were made to the dam’s apron last summer to improve fish safety. David Cook, the Army Corp of Engineers’ senior project manager at the Mud Mountain Dam said the Corp recently completed 10 percent of the new dam design. However, Cook continued, the Corp plans to keep trucking fish up from the Buckley dam past the Mud Mountain Dam and doesn’t plan to

partner with Whooshh in the near future. “We’ve met with them a couple times in the past to talk about their technology,” Cook said. “But the Corp hasn’t adopted their technology and the National Marine Fishery Service hasn’t approved it yet for anything other than experimental purposes… We are looking at other time-proved fish transport methods, which would either be a fish auger, a fish lift or a fish lock.” The National Marine Fishery Service (also k now n as NOA A Fisheries) is a part of the National Oceanic a nd At mo s phe r ic Administration (NOAA) and works to balance protecting marine species with recreation and

continued. “In February, the second largest marijuana grow operation in Pierce County history was busted next door to a day care center in my community. The regulation of a legal market will make sure that doesn’t happen again.” Last summer, the county sent letters to marijuana dispensaries in Pierce County telling them they had until July 1, 2016 to get a state license or cease operation. However, before today’s amendments were approved by the council, sellers could not satisfy the part of the ordinance concerning the federal

ban even when they were in possession of a state license. The bill removes that requirement. Dispensaries must also apply for a county conditional use permit by the July 1 deadline. “If a marijuana business is licensed and follows the rules, it should be able to operate in Pierce County,” said Young. “I’d rather see taxes from legal sales go to making this a better community, than illegal sales lining the pockets of a street dealer.” The revised ordinance becomes law 10 days after being signed by the county executive.

A gift for Christmas By special Christmas spirit request from all the goddesses in the office and Ms. Vegan, I will give my lastminute advice on buying gifts for girlfriends, wives and all those who make life worth living. To the uninitiated (husbands in training) this may seem to be a simple, straightforward process – ha ha ho ho. Is that dumb or what? The All Knowing One has assisted me in my most sensitive approach to preserving some semblance of life after Christmas for the naive believer. Dennis Box Here are a few of the Editor Christmas gift buying declaratory statements I will translate from the ancient language given only to the women. • “Don’t worry sweetheart, you don’t need to buy me anything.” Translation: “You are in a lot of trouble rockhead. Every year you buy me the wrong gift no matter how many hints I give you. I’ve given up – buy a very warm sleeping bag for yourself because you’re going to need it.” Let me provide the most graphic example of this Christmas morning scene. One of the most wonderful and perfectly matched couples I know are Becky and Ron. They were born to be married to each other and he is the yearly winner of the “goofball gift to my wife” award. Every year I try to find a goofball to beat Ron. Some are close but he is still the winner and champion. Ron’s finest year was when he left a shiny, brand-spanking-new toilet under the Christmas tree for Becky. I admit I understand and secretly admire the philosophical thought line in this gift. It has symmetry and is death defying. It makes sense and that is the genesis of our quandary and brings me to my second translation. • “Don’t worry honeybunlet; I understand. You are trying your best.” Translation: You are roadkill. Life as you know it is over. Run away. Remember — “doing your best” are the three most dangerous words in your special loved one’s ancient language.

Letters Take time to appreciate all seniors have to offer As many of you know, I have a special place in my heart for senior citizens. When I first decided to obtain a fellowship in geriatric medicine, my colleagues would look at me and behind their facial expressions of disbelief I could read in their frontal lobe the words, “Why would she want to do that? How boring.” My journey of caring for seniors has now spanned over 30 years with not a single minute of regret and with the

added benefit of a never-ending treasure chest of memories and amazing stories. Sitting with my seniors, whether it be in the office, skilled nursing facilities or on a home visit, I experience the excitement of living history. I learned about the London Blitz from a woman who witnessed it at the tender age of 14. I learned about Pearl Harbor from a gentleman who was on the USS Arizona of whom only 100 sailors survived. I learned about the Battle of the Bulge from a 101st Airborne paratrooper who almost lost his feet from the freezing foxholes of Bastogne. I learned about the excitement of the ending of World War I from my patient who rang the town bell at age 3 to alert the citizens of

her community that the “War to end all Wars” had come to a close, but would only lead to a fragile peace that was again broken not long thereafter. As the years go by and many of our seniors move on to their next chapter in life, the stories become even that much more valuable as we are losing our authors to time and destiny. This Christmas, don’t forget to hug a senior and thank them for what they have done for this great nation and how they worked hard to give you the wonderful life you experience every day. Oh, how I love my “boring” job. Peace to all of Enumclaw this holiday season. Mary L. Ballard, MD

With care, pups can enjoy a holiday treat Refrigerate for up to three days or freeze the rest. Roll-out treats are fun to make, too. You can cut them into fun shapes like bones and paws, and decorate them specific to the recipient. These make great gifts for dog lovers. Peanut butter roll-outs consist of just two eggs, one can of pumpkin, and a quarter-cup of peanut butter combined in a mixing bowl. Add 3 cups of coconut flour, one-half cup oatmeal and one-half teaspoon cinnamon. Mix until a dough forms. Roll out until a quarter-inch thick, cut in desired shapes, then bake on parchment paper until golden brown. Let cool to harden. Pupcakes are easy and are crowd pleasers. Simply combine 1 pound ground turkey, one-half cup oatmeal, one large egg and one-fourth cup sweet potato or pumpkin in a bowl. Add some turmeric for added health benefits.

Place the desired amount of mixture in a mini cupcake tin and wrappers and bake at 350 degrees until no longer pink in the middle. For those who have extra burners and counter space this Christmas, a homecooked stew for your dog will definitely assure him he’s been good all year. The basic ingredients are meat (chicken, turkey, beef or pork), rice or sweet potato, pumpkin and zucchini. Cook over low heat or in a crockpot, then cool and serve. Some dogs will love the addition of carrots and kale, others prefer just the basics. This recipe is great for dogs with digestive upset and is very palatable for finicky dogs. Many pet parents are including home cooking as part of their pets’ regular diet. Dogs fed a home-cooked diet exclusively will require extra supplementation to assure all the nutritional needs are met. It is so tempting to just lay a plate of leftovers on the floor for your pooch to clean,

cons. According to the Better Business Bureau, pet adoption scams surge this time of year, leaving families broken hearted during the holidays. “I paid $700 for a kitten that does not exist. My kid is devastated because she was waiting for a kitten to be delivered to our house today,” reported one consumer to BBB’s Scam Tracker. Often, the scam starts with an online ad with a picture of an adorable

puppy or kitten in search of a new home. Victims are quickly sucked in and are offered a low price for a popular breed. Scammers will go as far as sending a questionnaire to the buyer asking for personal information as part of the application process. When it comes to purchasing the pet, scammers promise to deliver the animal to the airport or even one’s doorstep. The victim is asked to make a payment or wire money to

but this practice can be hazardous. A plate of lean meats, fruits and veggies would probably be tolerated well by most, but could cause major GI distress in sensitive individuals. Most holiday fare is high in fats, salts and sugars, and this menu is detrimental to any dog. Sudden diet changes can cause vomiting and diarrhea. High fat intake can be a trigger for pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). Turkey skin and bones, ham, mashed potatoes made with cream and butter should be avoided. And, of course, all the chocolate should be reserved for humans. Making treats for your pets can be a fun part of your holiday tradition. If big brown eyes are watching you now, then it may be time to start planning your holiday pet treats. This article was provided by Cobber’s Pet Pantry, 1415 Blake St. in Enumclaw.

Consumers all over the country have lost hundreds and, sometimes, thousands of dollars on each of these rip-offs. BBB warns potential pet owners to not play this cat and mouse game. Instead watch for the following red flags: • Poor grammar and misspellings. Many pet scams originate overseas, so scammers may not have a good grasp of the English language. Be mindful of

James Martin Malneritch, age 78, has been called away to Our Lord after a three-year battle with bladder cancer, on Dec. 14. He was born Jan. 17, 1937 in Seattle to Martin and Helen Malneritch. He grew up in North Seattle, graduated from Seattle Prep High School and attended Seattle University. He married Patricia (Patty) Mullally in 1960 and was happily married for 55 years. While living in Auburn they had 5 children, then settled in Enumclaw near numerous aunts and uncles who were important to him. Jim worked for the American Can Company for 19 years. He then started his own landscaping business. Later he followed in his father’s footsteps and became a letter carrier with the U.S. Postal Service,

retiring in 1998. Jim’s Catholic faith and his family were most important in his life. He strived to help those in need and befriended those around him while treating each person with the dignity due a child of God. Jim and Patty were foster parents to a number of children throughout the years. He was very active in his church, including starting the 24 hour Adoration Program and recently joining the Knights of Columbus in 2008. Jim loved farming, gardening, hunting, fishing, reading, music and laughter. He was loved by many and will be deeply missed. Jim was preceded in death by his son Paul. He is survived by his wife, Patty; daughter Katie (Novcaski), husband Rich and grandsons David, James, and Joseph, of Alaska; son Martin, wife Robin and grandchildren Bailey and Jacob, of Enumclaw; daughter Camille (Howard), husband Mark, and grandchildren Kecia and Elliott, of Buckley; son Michael, wife Maria, and granddaughter Daniella, of Buckley; Paul’s wife, Kerri, and grandson Joshua, of California; and sister Marie Malneritch of Seattle. His funeral Mass will be held at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 1614 Farrelly St., Enumclaw on Dec. 26th at 10am.

ads that are filled with misspellings and grammatical errors. • Wiring money. Wiring cash to an unknown person is asking for trouble. Once the transaction is complete, it is next to impossible to get money back. • Too good to be true deals. Be wary of any ads offering exotic or rare breeds for low prices or for free. • Pay for transport. Be wary of pet sellers requesting upfront shipping costs for a third-party transport company. • Communication. Steer clear of sellers that will only communicate by email or text, but not by phone. • Immediacy. Avoid high pressure sales tactics. Emails from pet scammers often indicate that funds must be sent immediately if the pet is to make the flight departure time. Finally, consider adopting pets locally in order to see the animal before acquiring.

Whether your pup is on the naughty or nice list, he’s sure to enjoy a homemade treat this holiday season. The temptations are many, so having treats just for Fido are a convenient way let your pet indulge a bit with you, but lessen the likelihood that your pet will be given an unhealthy and potentially dangerous offering from the table. With all the shopping and wrapping and cooking and cleaning, cooking for your pet might seem daunting, but it can be a fun family activity any time of year. No-bake cookies are quick, easy and great for younger kids to help make. There are no raw ingredients in this one, so finger licking is fine. Combine 1 cup canned pumpkin, 1 cup quick oats, one-half cup coconut flour and one-half cup of warmed peanut butter in bowl. Roll into balls, then roll in shredded coconut. That’s it! Peanut butter consistency varies by brand, so adjust as necessary.

CORNER FROM 6 Help me, what can I do You have been give a short primer on the lost art of translation. Now I will assist you on what can be done. First: • Probably nothing. It is always best to begin from a position of defeat, despair and admitted dopiness. Pathetic whining may work the first time or seven. It will eventually run out of petrol and leave you stuck on the wrong side of an unlit crossroad whimpering, “help me.” • I can attest from experience that going to the corner grocery for a fro-

zen treat and a swift walk around the parking lot will not work. (Surprised me, too.) • You can try to do what is impossible. Listen carefully to the hints she gives you (like buy this, not this, gumby head), remember all the way to the store and not get distracted by anything that sparkles or someone singing, “Goober Peas” - Peas, peas, peas, peas, peas. Eating goober peas. Goodness how delicious, eating goober peas. Sorry. • My best suggestion – which comes with the stamp of approval of “The All Knowing One” to my right – is to reach down inside yourself, find that

little corner of hope and optimism and give up. We lost a long time ago, back in the ancient time when God didn’t let us into that one classroom the girls were in. That’s where they were taught the secret dialect of always winning (I never get to know anything cool). The fortunate ones have a Becky. Trying to explain your reasoning to Becky is hopeless, because there really is none. We do what we’ve been doing since kindergarten – make things up to get out of trouble. And we all know, it never works and never has. Merry Christmas to all and happy New Year.

ELFERS FROM 6 deaths and injuries to the native populations in what has come to be called “collateral damage.” Massive immigrant migrations are f lowing out of the Middle East partly as a result of our invasion and then withdrawal from Iraq. These mass movements have increased pressure on the very structure and existence of the European community. The fear and uncertainty engendered by Syrian and Iraqi exiles, coupled with terrorist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, have pushed a portion of this nation into intolerance of Muslims and of immigrants. Republican frontrunner Donald Trump has increased his popularity due to his highlighting of these fears. Differences of opinion over immigration have contributed to the polarized divide between liberals and conservatives in this country. Additionally, the old structures of the Middle East created during and after World War I are crumbling, forging new forces and movements rising from its ruins. Radical Islamist groups have found a place in the

power vacuum created by the massive changes to old boundaries. Regional powers are becoming more involved. Power struggles for dominance are emerging between Turkey, Iran, Egypt, Israel, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Cooperation Council. These nations are being forced to act because the U.S. is withdrawing from deep involvement in the region due to the high costs and U.S. public fatigue. Parts of Syria and Iraq have been reshaped into ISIS. The civil war in Syria has created the Alawite (a Shia sect supported by Bashar al-Assad) rump along the coast. Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Cooperation Council are fighting pro-Iranian Houthi forces in chaotic Yemen as well as ISIS to the north. The United States, according to Stratfor, must reconsider its new strategy in the region. A new balance must be forged because terrorism is not going away for the foreseeable future. We must create a strategy that continues to get our regional allies to shoulder more of the burden and, at the same time, and in the right proportion, use Special Forces to tip the

balance against radical Islam. What the U.S. should do is to find a way to live in the tension between withdrawal and invasion. Neither extreme will protect us from terrorist attacks. The current U.S. strategy against IS has had some successes, but at a high cost. President Obama has also reversed his policy of complete withdrawal from Afghanistan. This change in direction comes as a result of the rise of IS in Iraq and Syria. According to Stratfor, that cost is better and less expensive than reengagement with a massive military footprint. What is certain is that the turmoil emanating from the Middle East will continue to roil the European Union and affect the U.S. during our election cycle and beyond. What is also certain is that the U.S. will continue to be involved in the Middle East long-term. A strategy must be developed that strikes a balance between invasion and withdrawal. At the same time we must develop a parallel strategy of balancing openness to immigration and concern for terrorist attacks in this country. E x p e c t 2 016 t o b e tumultuous.

SALMON FROM 4 economic activity. The National Marine Fishery Service makes the call on what technology is approved to be used for transporting fish on the Endangered Species Act list, said spokesman Michael Milstein. Whooshh is currently working on getting that approval for the Buckley dam, said Bryan, and hopes the approval will

change the course of the Army Corp of Engineer’s plans for the area. Whooshh has submitted several studies relating to their transport system and other studies relating to traditional means of fish transportation to the National Marine Fishery Service. According to Bryan, one of those studies was performed by the Yakima Nation at the Roza Dam fish handling facility, where the tribe studied the mortality rate of fish

a t n a S r a De

sent through the Whoosh system versus being handled and trucked. The study, Bryan said, found fish that went through the Whooshh system had half the mortality rate of fish that were trucked. Additionally, the egg survivability rate, another part of the study, was close to 98 percent, which Bryan said approached levels close to the tribe’s control group in the experiment.

Hundreds of salmon wait in a holding tank at the Mud Mountain Dam, before they go up a fish ladder, enter a hopper and are lowered into a truck, which takes them to their spawning ground. Photo by Andrea Takash

Chalk up another lopsided victory for the White River High girls. The victim this time was the Washington High squad that traveled to Buckley Thursday night, only to get whacked 74-20 by a Hornet team that improved to 4-0 in South Puget Sound League 2A play, 5-1 overall. How bad was the drubbing? The visiting Patriots went the entire first half without a field goal, collecting just seven points in 16 minutes, all from the freethrow line. Meanwhile, the powerful Hornets scored a whopping 29 points in the first quarter alone and headed to the locker room at intermission with a 51-7 lead.

Kendall Bird led all scorers with 17 points. Darian Gore, Kayla Howard and Sydney Andersen had 10 each to help fuel White River’s attack. The dominance is nothing new. During their four league games, the Hornet girls have outscored their competition 275-84; on three occasions, the margin of victory was greater than 50 points. The Hornet girls resume league play Jan. 5 when they host Steilacoom High. The holiday break features a trio of nonleague contests. White River’s boys built a 10-point halftime lead Thursday night, increased the margin to 20 by the end of the third quarter, then coasted to a 68-56 triumph over the visiting Washington Patriots. With the South Puget Sound League 2A victory, the Hornets improved to 3-1 in league play and 5-2 overall. Tyler Meadows scored a season-high 24 points to pace the White River offense and was joined in double figures by Alex Wallen, who added 14. White River took early control with an 8-0 run late in the first quarter and gradually pulled away during the second stanza. The third period belonged to the Hornets but Washington scrambled desperately during the final eight min-

Yakima. White River is paired against King’s Way Christian on the opening day, then La Center. SPSL 2A play resumes Jan. 5 with a trip to Steilacoom to take on the Sentinels.

Chew On This! By Dr. Carla Yamashiro The Ecologic Dentist

Tis’ the season to be jolly … but it can be darn right stressful. Cheer up! Not all stress is bad for us. When we are stressed, our body responds and gets us ready to take the action we need. Peppermint is popular during the holidays and is great for soothing short term stress like dental anxiety. Peppermint eases symptoms of dizziness, fainting, and difficult breathing. It has bacteriostatic properties too! Visit us on the web for other holistic tips at www.EcologicDentistry. com. Call us for FREE consultations at (253) 863-7005. We’re located at 8412 Myers Rd E, Ste 301 in Bonney Lake. Happy Holidays! 1491990
